I deliver food in a bizarre world

Chen Mo remained outwardly calm; he had already anticipated this, otherwise Chen Xing wouldn't have kept it from him.

I guess at that time, he was the only one in the whole family who was oblivious to the danger.

His parents made him move out before he even graduated from university and bought him a house, probably hoping he wouldn't get involved in this mess.

"Dad is Dad, and I am me." Chen Mo's voice softened.

"Xiaoxing, I'm your brother. What can't you tell me? Whenever you get into trouble, I'm always the one who covers for you."

Chen Xing looked up at her brother, then lowered her head again: "That's why I can't tell you..."

"Why?" Chen Mo was now curious.

He hesitated for a long time, his fingers repeatedly gripping the chopsticks: "Dad said that if you found out, it would harm you..."

Chen Mo shook his head: "You're wrong. Do you think I'd make any preparations after I found out about this?"

"Do you think that when I face an emergency, I am safer when I am prepared or when I am unprepared?"

"Like you said, if the math teacher gives a crash course, would you still be upset if you already knew there would be a test?"

Chen Xing looked up again and saw that Chen Mo's face didn't show any blame, which made his tense nerves relax a little.

He was afraid that Chen Mo would be angry if she found out that he had kept it from him for so long.

Finally, he made up his mind and told the truth, though his voice was still very soft.

"It's like... starting from elementary school... sometimes when I get up at night to go to the bathroom, I'll see... something gray in the corner of the wall."

"It looked like a human figure... well, it was human-shaped, but it disappeared in a flash."

"Several times, when I was sleeping at night, I always felt like someone was watching me from beside my bed, and it felt chilly..."

He paused, then secretly glanced at Chen Mo's expression.

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow: "Why are you looking at me? Keep talking!"

Seeing that his brother remained calm, Chen Xing continued speaking.

Chen Xing whispered, "At first I thought he was just half asleep, so I didn't pay attention..."

"Later...later one time, on my way back to the dormitory after evening self-study at school, I saw...I saw an old man without legs floating past under the streetlight..."

"Really! That old man just floated over in an instant! I was so scared my legs went weak and I almost screamed!"

"When I got back, I told my dad, and he scolded me, saying that I wasn't concentrating on my studies and was having wild thoughts."

"Later, he secretly came to me and said very seriously that it was because the child's energy was low and it would happen occasionally, and it would be fine when he grew up."

He told me not to mention these things to anyone else, especially you...

"If you knew, you'd end up like me, maybe even worse... so I didn't dare tell you..."

As he spoke, Chen Xing pulled a red string from the collar of his school uniform.

Below the rope was a small, oddly shaped sign, seemingly carved from dark yellow wood, with incomprehensible patterns engraved on it.

"Dad said this is made of peach wood, which can ward off evil spirits. Wearing it will prevent you from seeing those things." Chen Xing stuffed the wooden plaque back in.

Chen Mo asked curiously, "Is this thing useful?"

He stopped Chen Xing's actions, took the wooden plaque, examined it carefully for a few moments, and then put it back.

"It seemed to help a little, but later it became almost invisible, though I can still feel it occasionally..."

Chen Mo stared at the wooden sign that had been shoved back into the box, his mind reeling.

He thought he had always cared about Chen Xing, but he didn't even know when Chen Xing started wearing this thing!

After thinking it over, Chen Mo noticed Chen Xing staring at him nervously. Suppressing his doubts, Chen Mo scooped a spoonful of food for him.

He pursed his lips: "Alright, it's no big deal! Dad's right, don't overthink it... Hurry up and eat, the meat's overcooked."

Seeing that his brother was no longer asking questions, Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

His smile returned, and he began chattering about the funny things that happened at school, as if the unsettling conversation from before had never occurred.

Chen Mo chatted and laughed with his younger brother, but his heart was like the hot pot broth, filled with mixed feelings.

Grandpa was right after all, and Chen Xing's eyes were opened!

He sighed silently to himself.

The meal was finished amidst Chen Xing's renewed enthusiasm.

Back home, Chen Xing turned on the TV and game console, and started playing games with Chen Mo via live stream.

This is their weekly staple.

Chen Mo turned on his computer, started up all the devices, connected the monitor to the TV, and then started the live broadcast.

【First!】

【Here it comes!】

[Brother Mo's live stream yesterday was amazing! Could you do a recap tonight? I just want to hear you brag!]

[Hey, Mo seems a bit quiet today, not as talkative as usual.]

[Were you too tired from exploring the building yesterday?]

[By the way, Brother Mo, did Brother Xing come today?]

Chen Mo glanced at the rapidly scrolling comments and said, "Good evening, everyone! Just have fun with yesterday's stuff, don't take it seriously. Tonight, let's focus on playing games and help my brother rank up."

Chen Xing also came over, waved at the camera, and said with a grin, "Good evening everyone! Watch me carry my brother tonight!"

Good evening, Brother Mo! Good evening, Brother Xing!

Which rank are you aiming for tonight? Are you carrying your little brother again?

[What delicious food did Xingdi eat today? He looks so excited!]

[Seeking Xingdi's perspective! I want to see Xingdi get tortured!]

Chen Xing comes every Friday, and since he is more outgoing than Chen Mo, he naturally gets to know Chen Mo's fans as well.

In addition, he is also very good-looking, and many fans like him.

If Chen Xing didn't lack his own account, many fans would probably follow him.

[Little brother, choose your hero quickly! I'll send you gifts!]

[Xingdi is still so cute!]

【You've got it backwards. When has it ever been your brother who carried you to victory?】

The atmosphere in the live stream room quickly became lively.

The two brothers worked together seamlessly, dominating the game, and their occasional sabotage and banter drew laughter from the viewers in the chat.

Chen Mo temporarily put those worries aside and immersed himself in the simple joy of fighting alongside his younger brother.

It wasn't until late at night, when Chen Xing was yawning incessantly and couldn't take it anymore, that the two of them ended the broadcast.

The next day, Saturday, Chen Mo's biological clock woke him up, while Chen Xing was still fast asleep in his room.

He usually doesn't run errands on Saturdays and Sundays; he used to spend them with his younger brother. But now, after experiencing the textile factory dormitory, the Mirror Hotel, and his conversation with his brother, he feels he must do something.

After his morning run and a shower, he walked to his desk and picked up the dark brown hardcover notebook his father had given him the day before.

He really liked the saying: "Do whatever you can to get the gears of fate turning."

Even if you win the lottery, you still have to buy a ticket first for there to be a chance of winning!

As a mentally sound, normal person living in a modern society, suddenly encountering another side of the world...

Real, dark, bizarre, terrifying...

Who isn't afraid?

But he was lucky. He had elders in his family who were experienced and had connections, which undoubtedly brought him great convenience and allowed him to start far ahead of ordinary people.

If he is given this kind of start, and he is still timid and hesitant, not daring to do this or that, then if the "Contract" is brought down on a large scale, then the entire Great Xia Kingdom and the entire Yuan Star will be finished!

Moreover, time is of the essence, and he must seize the time to improve himself before that happens!

As for being a savior, although this society has many flaws and dark sides, for the vast majority of people... it may really be a kind of salvation.

Therefore, he could not imagine that after such a strange phenomenon descended upon the world, he could only passively watch everything happen, watch evil spirits run rampant, and he could do nothing about it.

He didn't want to be a hero, but he needed strength to protect his parents, grandfather, maternal grandparents, and younger brother Chen Xing.

The paper has yellowed, and the writing on it is done with a fountain pen, with varying shades of ink, indicating that it was recorded at different times.

The opening doesn't present profound theories, but rather serves as an introductory guide.

"What beginners in spiritual vision should know:"

"Maintaining a stable mind is of paramount importance. If one is not surprised by the strange, the strangeness will naturally dissipate. Fear and strong emotions easily attract similar people or become food for evil spirits."

"The human body has three lamps: one on the head and one on the shoulders, where yang energy gathers. When walking at night, if someone calls your name, do not turn around easily, and do not answer easily."

"When you first open your spiritual vision, you will mostly see wandering spirits and lingering thoughts. Their energy is weak and mostly harmless, so just ignore them. If you encounter any trouble, you can recite a familiar chapter of the Great Righteousness Sutra or keep righteous thoughts in mind and rebuke them."

" Certain items and places can temporarily block or interfere with spiritual vision, such as old peach wood, cinnabar, and temples with flourishing incense offerings."

"If your psychic visions become uncontrollable, you continue to see ghosts, or the things you see are highly malicious or aggressive, you should seek help from a professional and not attempt to handle it yourself."

Chen Mo slowly flipped through the pages.

These are all basic things, and some grandfathers have mentioned them in bits and pieces when telling stories.

He was terrified of these things at the time, but also very curious, and they left a particularly deep impression on him.
