After the apocalypse, I awaken my powers and open a paradise with ghosts and monsters

Chapter 9 The Gatekeeper

"No!! Wherever Dahei is, I'll be there!"

When Bai Lingfei arrived at the community, Uncle Li and the boy were in a stalemate at the door.

Dahei noticed Uncle Li's vigilance and sat motionless, keeping his eyes on the boy and the old man.

He looked like he would be ready to rush in whenever they encountered danger.

The old man sat quietly aside, making no movement at all.

"Miss, this dog may be in danger if it enters the community."

Uncle Li saw Bai Ling coming over and explained.

"Sister, Dahei won't harm anyone, although he is a little different."

The boy hugged the dog and explained to Bai Ling with tears in his eyes that he didn't know why Dahei became like this. He only knew that he couldn't leave his partner behind.

"What's your name?" Bo Ling knelt down and touched the boy's head.

The boy looked young. His clothes were very old, but he was still clean. His hair was shaved into a short crop, which was a little prickly.

"My name is Dou'er. I am ten years old this year. This is my grandfather. He can't speak, but he is very powerful! He has supported me and Dahei, and he is planning to send me to school next year!"

Dou'er said that her grandfather looked proud.

Bai Ling looked at the old man. The old man remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard what the others were saying.

The status is wrong! Bai Ling winked at Uncle Li.

Uncle Li stepped forward, touched the visitor's forehead, and pushed it gently.

"My whole body is cold and my body is stiff." Uncle Li concluded.

"How could it be? Grandpa was fine just now! You can't leave me! Grandpa!"

Dou'er panicked and stepped forward to shake the old man helplessly.

Bai Ling stepped forward to check the old man's breathing and pulled Dou'er away.

"You should be dead."

"Uncle Li, please arrange a room for Dou'er first."

Bai Ling sighed softly. The old man looked very old. After experiencing such a fright, his body might not be able to hold on anymore.

After hearing this, the old man moved his body, raised his dark eyes and looked at Bai Ling, his face covered with corpse spots.

Bai Ling grabbed the branch vigilantly, this was something strange!
  "Grandpa, wake up! Grandpa, why don't you look at me?"

Dou'er danced happily in front of the old man, but the old man didn't look at him.

The old man raised his stiff arm and pointed at the guard post.

"Do you want to live there?" Bai Ling asked doubtfully, and the old man nodded stiffly.

"My grandpa is a great doorkeeper! He supports Dahei and me just by opening doors and picking up garbage! There isn't even a thief in the garbage station!"

"Sister, don't worry, my grandpa is really amazing! Super powerful, super powerful!"

"Grandpa, look at me? Why don't you look at me?"

Dou'er was still in the joy of having her grandfather come back from the dead, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

The old man saw Bo Ling's distrust and stretched out his arm to grab a wandering soul who was watching the excitement.

Chao Bailing nodded, pointed at the wandering soul with a blank expression, and then threw the wandering soul into the community.

He teleported into the community and wiped out the wandering soul with a slap.

Then he pointed to the door, then to himself, and gave a thumbs up sign, then walked behind Dou'er and pushed Dou'er towards Bai Ling.

"He should mean that he is capable enough to guard the door, as long as we help take care of Dou'er."

Hearing Uncle Li say this, the old man gave Uncle Li a thumbs up, his dark eyes showing appreciation.

"I promise you, what's your surname?"

The moment the old man stepped into the community, Bo Ling could feel his absolute control over the old man. It happened that the community also lacked a guard.

It seems that no matter whether it is the people or things in the community, or the strange things, they can all be under Bai Ling's control. Hearing this, Dou'er also looked at the old man in confusion. He only knew that the old man was called grandpa.

The old man shook his head and patted the beans.

"Grandpa said he couldn't remember. No one had called his name for decades. Grandpa also said he meant no harm and just wanted to find a place to live."

"Grandpa is really awesome! Sister, please take us in!"

"I can help you with your work too, I can do anything!"

Dou'er's eyes were red, the garbage station was gone, and so was his home.

"Can you communicate with him?" Uncle Li asked in surprise.

"I can just feel it." Dou'er nodded and held the old man's hand tightly.

Dahei also walked to Dou'er, and looked at Bo Ling with three pairs of eyes, two pairs of which were dark.

"Okay, then you can stay at the guard post first. Being a guard also has a probation period, and we will discuss the salary later."

"Uncle Li, please bring them two quilts, and Dahei can put them in too."

Bai Ling smiled at Dou'er. After the strangeness came, he mutated in various ways. The old man might have mutated because he couldn't let go of Dou'er. So far, he didn't seem to have any malicious intent.

Uncle Li led several people to the guard post and handed Dou'er a key. The guard post was large and equipped with all the facilities, enough for both his grandfather and grandson to live.

The old man bowed to Bai Ling and Uncle Li, and took the initiative to convey his meaning to Bai Ling.

As soon as he entered the community, he already felt that he was under someone's control, and Bai Ling acted like a master.

Bai Ling learned that the old man was alone and was being discriminated against because he could not speak or read.

He could only make a living by picking up garbage, but a kind man gave him a job as a garbage station guard so that he could have a place to live.

He picked up Dou'er and Dahei at the garbage station, so he could feed them with only a few bites in his mouth.

Dou'er is kind and upright, and she learned her speech from the people who come and go at the garbage station.

He had already died of fright when the garbage ghost came, but because he was worried about Dou'er, he held his breath.

It wasn't until just now that I gradually adapted to my abilities.

Under his watch, nothing can enter the complex from anywhere.

"Thank you for your hard work." Bai listened to the memory and nodded to the old man.

They are all poor people, and they don’t know how much hardship they have to endure to raise Dou’er up.

The old man received Bai Ling's approval and stretched out his hand. Black air spread on his hand and slowly floated towards the door.

The black air spread to the wall, and the wall and even the door were wrapped with a burnt brown vine.

"Grandpa said that this Tengman is him, and he can notice it around the community."

Douer hugged Dahei and explained that he was a little scared. This was the first time for him to live in such a clean and bright house.

Uncle Li brought some more food and two sticks of incense. Dou'er looked at grandpa and then obediently took the things away.

Two sticks of incense were lit for one person and one dog respectively.

After Bai Ling left the guard post to them, he returned to the villa with Uncle Li.

"What's wrong? I see a lot of people outside the wall! Is that why you created the safe zone?"

Fan Hua pointed at the monitoring interface and whispered to Bai Ling. The alarm sound disappeared. Lin Wanwan had fallen asleep. He didn't want to wake Lin Wanwan up.

"They are safe, don't worry, I will explain to you tomorrow."

It was already half past three in the morning, and Bai Ling was really sleepy.

Fan Hua nodded, but still felt a little uneasy and continued to stare at the monitoring screen.

Uncle Li was getting older, so he went back to his room to sleep, while Bo Ling went to the space to sleep.

After this battle, she was really tired and almost fell asleep on the bed.

After she fell asleep, Xiaoshu quietly appeared beside her bed, propping up her head and not knowing what she was thinking.
