Daily Life with the Loli

Xincheng District.

Just a few days ago, a murder occurred in this community, so most of the residents were in a state of panic. However, several days have passed and no second murder has occurred, so things have calmed down for a while.

"All that mystical talk is nonsense. We should believe in science."

Sitting behind the counter in his own supermarket, Zhang Hanmin, nearing fifty, spoke with a tone of disappointment and frustration as he listened to Hua's worried voice on the other end of the phone.

"This is a new society now, not the ignorant era of the past. Why are you acting like someone from the old society? No way, your dad is doing very well here. Why did you take leave to come back?!"

"Dad, the specifics are quite complicated."

Having been inexplicably scolded, the Young Man on the other end of the phone sighed helplessly.

"This really isn't about superstition; it's just that some things are genuinely hard to explain in words. The murder case that happened over there a few days ago was strange, and I really need to..."

"What's so strange about it? It's just a dead person! The police will investigate and find out for themselves, why are you worrying about it!?"

Zhang Hanmin glared and bristled.

"You better work hard. It's not easy to find such a high-paying job, so you need to take it seriously. Bring your girlfriend home for me to meet sometime; you should probably get married soon!!"

"No..."

"What do you mean no, no!? You're not getting any younger, it's time to get married!! Anyway, the job you found pays well enough, you won't have trouble finding suitors!! Letting me hold my grandson as soon as possible is the most important thing!!"

Zhang Hanmin directly and forcefully countered the other party's words, letting out a cold snort.

"I think you've wasted your education. It's just a murder case; the police haven't even given us any results yet, and you're already connecting it to feudal superstition? In broad daylight, under the clear sky, how could something like that happen..."

Before Zhang Hanmin could finish his sentence, a Shadow Creature silently passed in front of him and entered his supermarket.

"???"

Zhang Hanmin rubbed his eyes, wondering if his vision might be impaired, and then put on his reading glasses that were on the counter.

Inside this small supermarket, everything was laid out before him. In his line of sight, a Shadow Creature that was definitely not human was crouching down, picking something out from behind the shelves.

"!!!"

Zhang Hanmin's heart leaped into his throat in an instant. He quickly covered his mouth, then hurriedly got off his seat and crouched behind the counter, afraid of making the slightest sound or being seen by that inhuman thing in his supermarket.

... did he just come out from behind the counter and run away?

In those Horror Movie, the first Extra to be killed often dies in this way.

"Dad, what happened?"

Clearly sensing something was amiss, the Young Man on the other end of the phone became noticeably serious, and his voice also became significantly softer.

"... It's nothing."

Exhaling, Zhang Hanmin spoke softly.

"The bankbook is under my pillow. The password is your birthday. Inside is some money I've saved over the years to help you find a wife. It's good that you've become successful, but remember not to do anything bad..."

After saying these words, Zhang Hanmin hung up the phone without giving the Young Man on the other end a chance to continue speaking.

After a moment's hesitation, he cautiously raised his head, and as soon as he did, his heartbeat slowed down.

The Black Shadow was looking down at him.

Just when he thought he was done for, the Black Shadow nodded at him, then placed the bag he was carrying in front of him and handed him a 50-yuan note.

Zhang Hanmin: "???"

A minute later, watching the Shadow Person disappear into the Shadow carrying a large bag of potato chips, Cola, and other snacks, with a 50-yuan note in his hand, Zhang Hanmin's expression kept changing.

He felt he needed to slow down.

"What are you doing?"

While eating a tub of potato chips, the Loli Qingyi couldn't resist sneaking into Bai Zhi's room.

"The things I ordered online have arrived. I need to do some experiments... You went out just now?"

Bai Zhi looked up from his modified workbench and was slightly taken aback when he saw Qingyi eating a bucket of potato chips in front of her.

"Life lies in movement. Young people should go out more. What's the point of staying in your room all day?"

Her eyes darted around slightly, Qingyi nodded very seriously.

"Don't worry, I haven't given anything away. My disguise skills are top-notch."

"Whatever you want. If you don't have enough money, just take some from my wallet. But remember not to make a mess of the living room... Oh well, it doesn't matter if you make a mess, the Shadow Guard will clean it up anyway."

After pondering for a moment, Bai Zhi shook his head.

Bai Zhi abruptly stopped what he was doing, turned around, and asked the white-haired loli who had somehow climbed onto his bed and was now sitting cross-legged on it.

"Don't you like reading? I bought a whole bunch of books from the bookstore. Have you read them all?"

"There was once a person who could only eat vegetables because of limited resources. But later, his living conditions improved, and he could eat meat every meal. Do you think he would continue to eat vegetables forever?"

He held up a finger in front of him, Qingyi face serious.

"Go ahead and play Game if you want, I'm not restricting you in any way."

Bai Zhi casually took the can of potato chips from the other person's hand and ate some as well, then pouted.

"I have a cell phone, a computer, and Wi-Fi. What else do you need?"

"I need you to play with me... Playing Game alone is no fun at all!!"

Nodding, the White-haired loli emphasized this point.

"Oh, I don't have time."

Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi tossed the can of potato chips back into the water and turned back to continue working on his modified workbench, casually muttering something under his breath.

"You've come at the right time. There's something I almost forgot to tell you. I have an advanced calculus exam tomorrow. Could you please take it for me? I'm a little busy right now."
