I deliver food in a bizarre world

Grandma Liu's house is on the third floor.

As I opened the door, a distinctive smell of an elderly person wafted out, mixed with a faint medicinal fragrance.

The room was very clean, but the lighting was dim, and the curtains were only half drawn.

The chubby orange cat named Qiuqiu was curled up on the sofa armrest. Hearing the noise, it pricked up its ears alertly, glanced at them, and then ignored the group.

Instead, a low growl escaped his throat, and his amber eyes stared unblinkingly at the corner of the living room near the balcony.

As soon as Chen Mo entered the room, his spiritual eyes automatically activated.

Under the gray light, the atmosphere in most areas of the room was normal, except for a few wisps of black aura remaining in the corner of the balcony, which were slightly clearer than those on Grandma Liu.

At the core of the black aura, the outline of a child less than a meter tall was vaguely formed.

However, he could still roughly tell that he was holding a round ball and repeating the action of patting it.

Chen Mo's heart tightened.

Is this a regret... or a bound spirit?

Earthbound spirits are usually people who had great wishes or unresolved hatreds in life. After death, they are bound to the earth within a certain area, unable to escape or move.

Its power increases with the intensity of its desire and hatred!

It's just unknown why this child-like spirit came into being and why it lingers here.

"That's where...the sound came from there...it's still there..."

Grandma Liu pointed to the corner of the balcony, her voice trembling, and tightly gripped the arm of the old lady next to her.

The other elderly people seemed to have heard this as well, their faces showing fear as they shrank back.

The young people who followed them to the scene looked completely bewildered; clearly, they hadn't noticed anything.

But the oppressive environment, Fat Orange's unusual reaction, and the elderly people's fear made them feel uneasy and their backs were cold.

"You...you didn't hear anything? Huh? Not a sound at all?"

Seeing that they didn't react, Grandma Liu suddenly became agitated and grabbed Manager Wang's arm, shaking it violently.

Chen Cen had never seen anything like this before. He was so frightened that he took a step back, his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Manager Wang and several other young neighbors who had come along were so nervous that they swallowed hard and dared not breathe.

Grandma Liu's commotion almost scared them into running away!

"Grandma Liu, don't panic, calm down." Chen Mo stepped forward and gently patted Grandma Liu's trembling shoulder, his voice steady, "I can feel it, don't panic."

[OMG, is this a movie shoot? I actually got hooked!]

The atmosphere was so tense, I didn't dare breathe too loudly!

Am I the only one getting goosebumps?

The cat's reaction was amazing! It was staring intently at that corner!

Animals can indeed sense things that humans cannot!

[If anyone says this is a script, this cat deserves a bonus!]

[Brother Mo's gaze is completely different from when he's delivering food.]

[Is it dangerous? I'm a little worried about Mo Ge. Should we call for backup?]

[Who are you shaking? Someone from the National Security Bureau?]

Chen Mo turned his gaze back to the blurry black mist child, then said to Manager Wang and the surrounding neighbors:

"Manager Wang, Uncle Li, and all the uncles and aunties, please wait at the door or in the living room for a moment. There are too many people and the air is too stuffy, which may cause disturbance... It would be best if you wait for me outside the door, just leave the door slightly ajar."

Everyone was eager to get away, and upon hearing this, they felt as if they had been granted a pardon and nodded hurriedly.

At the same time, they persuaded the curious neighbors to come to the stairwell outside the door.

Chen Mo placed his phone on the shoe cabinet by the door, the camera still pointing towards the living room, but the distance was greater, and the details in the image were not as clear.

He walked to the center of the living room and stopped a few steps away from the corner of the balcony. Instead of acting immediately, he quietly observed the blurry outline, sensing its emotional fluctuations.

Time passed little by little.

The living room was quiet, with only the heavy breathing and anxious pacing of the people outside the door, and occasionally a bolder person would peek in to take a look.

The number of comments in the live stream has decreased significantly, but the ever-increasing number of viewers indicates that they have not left the interface and are watching intently.

After sensing for several minutes, he detected no malice whatsoever...

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems the notebook records are correct. This situation is mostly due to lingering obsessions, trapping the person in the moment of their own death or the moment the obsession arose. These obsessions are usually harmless in themselves.

He took out a small paper figure cut out from his small waist bag. It was just a basic flat paper cutout, without even using bamboo to make a frame.

He turned to the corner of the balcony and said in a gentle tone, "Little friend, is the ball fun?"

The thought of bouncing the ball abruptly stopped, and the blurry outline of the child seemed to turn towards him.

Hearing Chen Mo speak, the neighbors who were peeking at the door were startled. They were all suspicious and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Especially the young people, seeing Chen Mo speaking to the empty corner, immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Is Mo Ge communicating with thin air?!

[That tone is so gentle, I almost forgot I was watching a paranormal livestream...]

[Will this be the Mo Ge I'll be in a relationship with in the future? I'm in love!]

No, you guys in front, aren't you focusing on the wrong thing?

Oh my god, I've got goosebumps!

Is there really something there?

[The immersion is too strong, I'm starting to get scared!]

Chen Mo continued casually, "Isn't it a bit boring to dribble the ball alone? Would you like someone to play with you?"

The child's silhouette swayed slightly, conveying a clearer emotion.

Chen Mo picked up the small paper figure, concentrated his mind, and slowly infused the paper with a spiritual energy.

He took out a pen and gently tapped two tiny dots on the paper figure's head, symbolizing eyes.

The paper figure trembled almost imperceptibly, as if it had been infused with the breath of life, radiating a sense of peace.

Chen Mo gently placed it on the ground, facing the corner of the balcony.

To the live stream camera and onlookers, it was just an ordinary paper figure.

But in Chen Mo's spiritual vision and perception, this little paper figure containing his thoughts was like a magnet, attracting that lonely obsession.

He spoke softly to the corner, "Shall I let this little child who can't speak play with you?"

"It likes you very much. We can go to more fun places together, where there are lots of children and we can play games together. You'll never be lonely again. Come with me, okay?"

As he finished speaking, feeling the fluctuations emanating from the paper figure, the black aura of the child's outline began to soften.

After a dozen seconds, just when Chen Mo thought he was going to fail, his stubborn will began to melt away slowly, like ice crystals in the sunlight.

Instead, there is a sense of relief, and a faint longing for the outside world.

The blurry outline of the child stretched out a small hand made of black mist and made a gesture of embracing towards the little paper figure.

Then, under Chen Mo's gaze, the entire outline, like a dandelion touched by a spring breeze, with its faint red glow, transformed into countless tiny specks of light, eventually completely entering the paper figure.

In the instant it completely disappeared, Chen Mo clearly captured a thought and a brief fragment of a scene.

A boy wearing an old-fashioned red jacket happily bounced a red ball on a sunny afternoon.

The ball accidentally slipped from his grasp and rolled towards the edge of the balcony. The boy chased after it anxiously...

The video cuts off here.

The obsession has dissipated!
