I deliver food in a bizarre world
Chapter 27 The Spirit in the Neighborhood
But his gaze swept across the center of the crowd and he saw an elderly woman with gray hair, surrounded by other elderly people.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his spiritual eyes activated.
All around her were wisps of almost dissipated black aura, like dust blown away by the wind.
The aura was so faint that even with his spiritual eyes, he barely noticed it.
It's like when you go out for barbecue, you always smell of cumin and cooking oil when you leave the restaurant. But a shower and a change of clothes will completely get rid of that smell.
It seems she didn't run into anything particularly dangerous, otherwise, given the old woman's health, she definitely wouldn't have survived...
Uncle Li was also among the group of security guards. When he saw Chen Mo coming over, he quickly squeezed through the crowd, grabbed Chen Mo's arm, and pulled him aside.
"Xiao Chen, what brings you here?... Hey, are you still live-streaming? Go away, turn it off right now, this can't be spread around, it's bad for your reputation!" As he spoke, Uncle Li reached out his hand.
Chen Mo nimbly retreated and slapped away Uncle Li's outstretched hand.
"Uncle Li, don't worry, don't you trust me? I've got the situation figured out perfectly!"
He quietly pointed to the group of elderly people and asked curiously, "What's going on here? Aren't these old ladies usually quite easy to talk to? They even send you things every few days, especially during holidays..."
In his memory, the elderly people in the community were all very well-mannered.
Unlike the elderly people in the square who can do all sorts of bizarre and outlandish things.
He had lived here for two years, and this was the first time he had ever seen such a scene.
Old Li saw Chen Mo avoid him, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he sighed and looked worried.
"It's Aunt Liu from District F who insists that her house is haunted. She says there's always the sound of a child bouncing a ball at night, which scares her so much that she's afraid to go home."
"Her children all live in other cities, and these old neighbors accompanied her to see us, insisting that we send someone to exorcise the evil spirit! Tell me, who in our property management knows anything about this?!"
Chen Mo's gaze passed over Uncle Li and fell on the petite Grandma Liu who was surrounded in the middle.
She looked terrible, with sunken eyes, and clung tightly to the arm of an older woman beside her, her lips trembling as she repeated the same words over and over.
"Really... Xiao Wang, I really heard it... thump thump thump, right on the balcony..."
"Qiuqiu has been acting strange these past few days, always getting agitated and breathing out at the empty corner of the balcony wall..."
"I spent the whole night at Sister Yang's house last night, I didn't dare go back at all..."
An older woman holding a teddy bear chimed in, "Old Liu, could you have misheard?"
The property manager also said, "Yes, Ms. Liu, is the noise coming from the water pipes? Or is it from an air conditioner unit in the neighborhood?"
Chen Mo listened attentively to Grandma Liu and the neighbors' chatter as they described the situation.
Although it was early morning, some commuting fans were preparing to watch some videos and were looking forward to seeing Chen Mo's happy live stream of delivering breakfast. However, they were stunned when they saw this scene as soon as they entered the live stream.
[Huh? A live stream so early in the morning? Is Brother Mo being so diligent today?]
[This setting... is in Mo Ge's neighborhood? What happened?]
Immediately, a kind viewer in the live stream offered an explanation.
[This sounds like they're talking about a ghost story. I heard there's a sound of a ball bouncing at the old lady's house at night!]
[A new script is here! Is it a heartwarming supernatural drama set in the community this time?]
[Script my ass! Is Brother Mo really that capable, bossing around an old lady?]
Indeed, the atmosphere feels different this time; it doesn't seem like acting?
[Exactly, having so many elderly women as actors must cost a fortune!]
[Yes, and the person involved is indeed not in good mental health. Brother Mo is such a righteous person, he probably wouldn't joke about something like this.]
[Nonsense, the old lady is easy to hire. Give her ten eggs for free, and she'll get up at 5 a.m. to squeeze onto the bus! Don't you guys watch the news?]
Dude, do you think people living here would even bother with those two eggs?
You don't understand, this is called riding a bicycle to a bar – save where you can, spend where you can!
[Whatever it is, we've got sunflower seeds and bottled water ready for you in the front row!]
Several elderly people who seemed to have stayed at Grandma Liu's house also chimed in.
"It's like kids bouncing a ball, making a loud thumping sound, and sometimes it sounds like kids are giggling too. It gives me the creeps!"
"Yeah, yeah, it's been like this for three or four days in a row, every day in the middle of the night... We've looked carefully together, but there's nothing there!"
"Old Liu lives alone, and he's really shaken up! Look at his energy level, he's going to get sick if this keeps up!"
"That's right, Old Liu is getting old and can't take any more strain!"
"Property management, you need to take care of this! It's terrifying!"
"If you don't believe me, stay here tonight and see if you can handle it!"
The property manager nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, don't worry, we'll definitely take care of this! Um... Xiao Chen, Lao Yang, Lao Li... Hey? Where's Lao Li? Xiao Chen's here too!"
He looked around and saw Old Li whispering with Chen Mo. He nodded to Chen Mo, walked over, and pulled Old Li back into the crowd.
"The three of you are coming with me to Sister Liu's house!"
"Huh? Okay!" The young security guard was a little flustered, but quickly calmed down.
He probably only had the courage because he saw so many people together, and it was during the day.
After hearing the gist of the story, Chen Mo had a general idea of what was going on.
He stepped forward and patted the property manager on the shoulder, looking concerned. "Manager Wang, Grandma Liu, shall I go and see what's going on?"
Everyone was stunned, and their eyes all fell on Chen Mo.
Old Li, looking like he had a toothache, said, "No, Xiao Chen, what are you doing getting involved? What... what good are you?"
Another woman looked Chen Mo up and down with surprise: "Oh, young man, you know about this?"
Chen Mo had a vague impression of her, but not a deep one; it seemed her surname was Zhang.
He smiled and said, "I used to be involved in some of these things back in my hometown. When I was a child, I learned some traditional methods from the adults in my family."
"Wow, I didn't know you had this trick up your sleeve, Xiao Chen!" The property manager also recognized Chen Mo; he was one of the people Chen Mo had bribed with high-end goods.
The elderly woman and man immediately started discussing it amongst themselves.
After thinking it over, Chen Mo decided to give her a heads-up.
"I can't say for sure that I can solve it, but I'll go and see what's making the noise, so that Grandma Liu can feel at ease."
Grandma Liu was completely at a loss at this point. Seeing that someone was willing to help, she quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, young man, thank you so much..."
Upon hearing this, the property manager immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes! Xiao Chen, you should come and take a look too! Young people are quick-witted and knowledgeable!"
So, the group, surrounding Grandma Liu, marched in a grand procession towards District F.
The property management had a special car, and Chen Cen drove one of those sightseeing vehicles that could carry more than a dozen people, taking everyone to Grandma Liu's doorstep.
Chen Mo rode a small electric scooter, hanging behind the others.
The live stream chat was buzzing with discussion.
[Holy crap? Something really happened?]
[Brother Mo is about to perform a public display! You all must step back!]
[Brother Mo, what other surprises do you have that I don't know about!]
[A kid bouncing a ball? This joke is a bit old, but it's still pretty scary!]
[Be careful, streamer! Don't overexert yourself!]
[Please keep the camera on! I'm already watching from under the covers!]
[Why do I feel like Mo is serious? His expression doesn't seem like he's joking!]
