Chapter 275: Chapter 275: The Masked Thief Little Taotie Chapter 275: Chapter 275: The Masked Thief Little Taotie In the dead of night, when all was still, two fully-armed little figures stealthily slipped out, oblivious that Ma Ming had suddenly opened his eyes the moment they left the door, but he soon shook his head and closed them again.
The wind was so strong that it almost blew off Little Taotie’s black hat. He reached out to firmly hold the sides of his hat, his voice issuing from the black mask, “Don’t I look like Batman in this outfit?”
Hua Jinyan turned to look, and there was Little Taotie dressed in a black hoodie, wearing sunglasses with black cat ears, and a black mask, his little face wrapped in a black sunhat integrated with the hoodie.
“You look more like a masked bandit.”
Immediately transforming from superhero to villainous thief, Little Taotie clenched his small fists, pouting, “I am going to catch Evil Spirits, I am a hero who punishes evil and promotes good!”
“Alright,” Hua Jinyan said helplessly, his voice betraying his young age but old soul, “Can you see clearly with this on? The street lights here are very dim already.”
Little Taotie honestly shook his head, “I can’t see clearly.”
He remembered clearly his second brother’s instruction to wear sunglasses and a mask whenever he went out; otherwise, he would be recognized, which could bring trouble for both him and the people around him.
Little Taotie wasn’t worried about himself; he was more concerned about bothering others.
Like the time at the wildlife park, he was recognized, and at most, he had to go home early. But later, he heard that many fans went to the wildlife park, wasting their travel and ticket money for nothing.
It even caused severe traffic jams on that road section, troubling many people.
Little Taotie felt very remorseful about it.
His second brother set up something called “W-blog” for her, reimbursing the ticket cost for anyone who had a ticket stub from the wildlife park that day, but Little Taotie still felt very guilty.
“You should take off your sunglasses. It’s late at night; no one will recognize you, especially with your mask on,” said Hua Jinyan.
Little Taotie shook his head vigorously, like a bobblehead.
“Then hold my hand,” Hua Jinyan extended his hand.
Little Taotie obediently placed his small hand in his palm.
Beneath the dim street lights, the two small figures walked hand in hand, heading towards less populated areas.
Those who enjoy roaming in the dark inevitably stay away from crowds and gather in deserted places, just like Ghosts.
In the long-abandoned factory building, Hua Jinyan and Little Taotie seemed to be on an adventure. The two youngsters showed no fear as if they were traversing their own backyard.
“There’s no one here, you can take off your sunglasses and mask,” he suggested.
This time, Little Taotie didn’t refuse and removed his sunglasses, revealing his clear, big eyes that faintly shimmered with a sea-blue luster, reminiscent of a starry sky at night.
Hua Jinyan removed the Rainbow Relic Beads Bracelet and placed it into a sandalwood box. The protective glow from the Rainbow Relic disappeared instantly.
In Ghost’s perspective, Hua Jinyan now appeared as an irresistible delicacy. They swarmed towards him, unaware that at the moment they locked on their prey, they had already become Little Taotie’s prey.
In Little Taotie’s view, they weren’t fearsome Evil Spirits, but rather tempting, fragrant–chocolates!
Little Taotie rubbed his hands together, fists clenched, ready to strike at any moment.
But before Little Taotie could strike, a red figure floated in from afar, confronting the Evil Spirits with a fierce and vicious expression. With sleeves flying, hands shielded in front of Hua Jinyan, the figure shouted, “Scram!”
The surrounding Evil Spirits scattered instantly, extremely afraid of this red-clothed vengeful spirit.
