Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 77: Chivalrous Cloud Rat
[You have captured the remaining aura of the Blessing Rat of the Five Rats of Kongyun. The Spiritual Encyclopedia has been opened, and some information about the Blessing Rat has been successfully unlocked.]

[Blessing Rat: One of the twelve secular gods - Kong Yunsou, a descendant of the Seven Heroes and Five Righteous Men, enjoys praying for good luck and good fortune, burning incense and lighting lamps, born with a keen sense of smell, in charge of warding off evil spirits, magical medicine, and good harvest.]

"Pray for the Rat!"

Lin Beixuan stopped and stood at the door of a room covered with cute graffiti. The breath of the blessing rat appeared here again, and it was particularly strong.

The old dean turned around and saw Lin Beixuan stopped, and explained: "There is a sick child living in this room. She likes to draw, so she draws her thoughts on the wall and door with colored pencils."

"Can I go in and have a look?"

"She should be up by now." The old dean looked at the time, nodded and knocked on the door.

"Is Yingying up?"

"I'm up, Grandma Dean."

After a knock on the door, a childish voice was heard from inside.

The dean smiled at Lin Beixuan and gently pushed open the door with cute graffiti on it.

The room was very small, only about ten square meters, and could accommodate two or three people at most, so the children following the dean did not come in. Instead, they stretched their necks to look inside and smiled at a little girl sitting on the bed.

"Yingying, we are all here!"

The little girl on the bed heard the voices of her friends and looked over with a happy smile on her face.

Lin Beixuan walked into the house and glanced at the little girl. Suddenly he realized that although her eyes were open, her vision was unfocused and her eyes were dull. After he entered the house, she just moved her ears but did not look in his direction.

"Yingying has had poor health since she was young. She became blind due to a high fever some time ago. She still has to go to the hospital for checkups every month. The doctor said the chances of her eyes recovering are very low."

The old dean slowly walked up to the girl named Yingying and gently smoothed her hair.

Perhaps because of her illness, Yingying's little face was a little pale, and her exposed arms were very thin, as if they could be blown down by a slight breeze.

Lin Beixuan quietly watched this heartwarming scene, then turned his gaze silently to the windowsill in the room. The sunlight outside shone into the house through the window. In the angle between light and darkness, a mouse-shaped wooden sculpture was quietly hidden in the darkness.

The wood carving was crude, with harsh lines and a lack of fine polishing and detail processing. From the outside, it looked like it was just a rough shape of a sitting mouse.

But the only thing that seems lifelike and vivid is the eyes. No matter from which angle you look at them, the wood carving seems to be able to look you in the eye.

Lin Beixuan looked at the wood carving, and the wood carving seemed to be looking at him.

After a moment, the wood sculpture trembled slightly, and Lin Beixuan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed it in his hand.

[You encounter a special target: The Five Rats of Kongyun - Blessing Rats. ]

[You come into contact with and fight against the Blessing Rat, and successfully copy the skill - Beast Language from it.]

[Beast Language (Green): People have their own language, and beasts also have their own language. The Five Rats of Kongyun often travel around the world, making friends with various beast heroes. They have mastered the beast language to perfection, and are able to travel anywhere without any setbacks. Beast Language +1.]

"It is indeed here."

Feeling a faint vibration coming from the palm of his hand, Lin Beixuan could vaguely see an illusory white-haired rat in the wood carving staring at him with unfriendly eyes.

While the other party was not yet completely angry, Lin Beixuan quickly put the wooden sculpture down again and explained to the old dean who was looking at him strangely.

"This wood carving is somewhat similar to the one my father carved for me when I was a child. I couldn't help but want to take a look." The old dean smiled and nodded: "The children found this in the yard a few days ago, and then they washed it and gave it to Yingying to play with."

A girl named Yingying heard the conversation between the two, looked over and said sweetly, "I like Ah Fu, he can talk to me and play with me."

The old dean frowned when he heard this: "Yingying, what are you talking about? How can a wood sculpture talk to you?"

For ordinary people, unless the evil spirits in the world show up on their own initiative, it is difficult for them to see each other.

Now a little girl says that the wood carving can talk to her, which is an extremely strange thing in the eyes of the old dean who has always been traditional and conservative.

"Afu really talks to me. When I can't sleep at night, he even tells me stories."

"You will have to go to the hospital to see your eyes in a few days. Don't think too much during this time. Just have a good rest, okay?"

"Dean grandma, can I not go to the hospital? I'm almost well now. You can save your money to buy clothes for other people." Yingying grabbed the old dean's wrinkled hand.

She knew that Hope House was in financial difficulty right now, and the old director still had to raise money for her eye treatment, and he hadn't had a good rest for several nights in a row.

She was abandoned as a child and became sensible at an early age. She did not want to make the already difficult situation of the orphanage worse because of her own reasons.

After hearing this, the old dean stood there in a daze, tears streaming down his face. He gently held Yingying in his arms and touched her head.

"It's okay, we can definitely heal your eyes."

This orphanage is called House of Hope. Most of the adopted children are abandoned by their parents shortly after birth. Some of them are born with serious illnesses, some are born with disabilities, and some have tragic life stories. They are all raised here by the old director.

In the hearts of these children, the old dean is not only their foster dean, but also their own family.

So when the old dean firmly said that he would definitely cure Yingying's eyes, even the children standing outside the door couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

Lin Beixuan looked at this scene and was also moved by this deep affection.

However, in his sight, there was a certain change lingering about Yingying.

Countless tiny green particles were floating around her body, emitting fluorescent light and slowly converging towards her eyes.

Not only her, but the children standing outside the house were more or less surrounded by green particles, which dispelled the gray air emanating from the children and merged into their bodies one by one.

Lin Beixuan looked at the wood carvings standing on the windowsill with some surprise, knowing that these must have been brought by the blessing rats. Together with the stolen retail goods in Los Angeles, they were all placed in front of the orphanage by the other party.

But why?
A group of evil spirits in the secular world actually came to the human world to do good deeds. This completely overturned his previous views on the evil spirits in the secular world.

Review the information about the Blessing Rat on the panel again.

He is one of the Seven Heroes and Five Gallants, and enjoys prayers for a blessed new year. He is in charge of elixirs, warding off evil spirits and ensuring a good harvest.

Perhaps not every evil spirit in the world is bad. Some of them may do good deeds, save lives, and perform chivalrous acts.

It's just that their starting point may be a bit crooked. Stealing other people's things to go their own way is quite a bit like the ancient knights robbing the rich to help the poor.

The starting point is good, but the process violates the laws of the world.

So Lin Beixuan planned to have a good talk with the other party and try not to resort to violence if possible.
