Chapter 365 The Shadow at Home

When Xia Qi came back again, his father had already returned, and his mother was also busy cooking in the kitchen. Seeing him coming in, she poked her head out of the kitchen and said bitterly:
"You brat still knows you're coming back, and you haven't called me recently."

"Isn't it because I'm too busy with work recently, I'll come back as soon as I have time."

"I'll clean you up after I finish cooking!"

Xia Qi smelled the fragrance of vegetables and listened to the "buzzing" sound of the range hood, all of which made it difficult for him to connect with the illusion.

Because it was so terrifying, he couldn't help but have a terrifying thought in his heart. Could the real world he thought of be just an illusion created by a terrific character?
Xia Qi was taken aback by his thought, quickly shook his head, and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Seeing that his face was not very good, his father asked in a low voice:
"What's the matter? Are you in trouble?"

"No, I just thought of something suddenly, nothing."

Xia Qi felt that his father was under enough pressure, so he didn't want to worry his father anymore, so he changed the subject and said:

"How are you doing recently, has your salary increased?"

"It's useless to say that."

His father didn't answer Xia Qi, but pointed to his pocket and said:

"Give me a cigarette."

"My mother won't let you smoke at home." Although Xia Qi said so, he still took out the cigarettes in his pocket and handed them to his father.

"The grade of this cigarette is not bad. There is no need to smoke such expensive cigarettes. Save the money to do something meaningful."

Lighting up the cigarette in his mouth for his father, Xia Qi himself took one out of the cigarette case and put it in his mouth:
"For example, what is more meaningful to do?"

"For example, to support a poor school, make a donation or something."

"Does that make sense? I think I might as well fund your company so that they can give you a raise."

After Xia Qi finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing "hehe".

His father squeezed his fists at Xia Qi fiercely after hearing this, but Xia Qi was not afraid at all, because his father was born with a good-natured face, and he had never hit him since he was a child, so he was not at all afraid. Don't feel scared.

"Dad, don't pretend to be cruel. Really, you are not suitable."

Xia Qi also lit the cigarette in his mouth, his father pushed the ashtray in front of him, and said in an unhappy tone:

"You've been spoiled by me. You haven't been afraid of me since you were a child. I've already learned from other parents. The first time I found you smoking, I beat you all over the place.

You started smoking secretly when you were in junior high school, and your smoking age is almost catching up with mine. "

"You can't blame me for smoking. Who gave you this gene? Experts have said that children's smoking has a lot to do with their parents."

Xia Qi looked aggrieved and pushed all the responsibility on his father.

"I didn't start smoking until you were born. Don't rely on me, you kid, who is ignorant and ignorant."

While the father and son were chatting and farting, Xia Qi's mother had already prepared the meals. Seeing that the living room was full of smoke, and even a little choking, she immediately took off her apron and went into a rage:

"You two little bastards, old bastards, how many times have I told you not to smoke at home...!!!"

Xia Qi was not happy with this reunion dinner, the reason was that his mother talked bloody about him, and of course, his father was also having a hard time, he was also nagged a lot.

Although the food was tasteless, Xia Qi felt that the atmosphere was not bad, at least it gave him a sense of the past.

Helping his mother clean the table, Xia Qi wanted to wash the dishes and chopsticks together, but his mother didn't let him do it, saying that he was so busy at work on weekdays, so he could just leave the work at home to his mother.

Seeing his mother start to work in the kitchen, Xia Qi's vision gradually became blurred, and he didn't dare to stay in the kitchen any longer, because he was afraid that he would cry out and be seen by his mother.

Going back to the bedroom, Xia Tian closed the Qi door, and he sat down directly leaning against the door panel.

When he returned home this time, he didn't know what was wrong with him. He was in an extremely bad mood, as if worse things would happen at home in the near future.

In fact, he can more or less predict what the worse thing refers to.

It was the three-element formation that trapped his mother's soul and prevented other ghosts from approaching. If his grandfather didn't come back, this formation would stop completely.

He didn't dare to imagine that day would come, and he couldn't afford to bear the consequences of the formation stopping.

Maybe he came back in such a bad mood this time because he was subconsciously worried about the formation.But unfortunately, he couldn't find any solution other than waiting for his grandfather to come back.

It was this feeling of helplessness and powerlessness in the face of potential danger that caused him to be in a terrible mood.

As powerful as his grandfather, he can change his fate against the sky, seal his soul, make his dead mother still live like a living person, and keep himself from touching the truth for a long time.

So what if there is someone stronger than his grandfather?So can the dead be resurrected, and can they no longer be threatened by ghosts?
Xia Qi hopes to have such a strong person, because it proves that if he can survive, he may reach this level in the future.At that time, he can resurrect his mother, and then save all his friends from suffering from ghosts.

Just like before, living a boring but comfortable and happy life in reality.

"call!"

Xia Qi let out a long breath, trying not to be as depressed as he is now, after all, the road to hell is still long, if he is crushed by the pressure now, how will he go on the road in the future?
That glimmer of hope is like an oasis in the depths of the desert. Even if you know it is difficult to reach, you will still try your best in the process.

Standing up from the ground, Xia Qi walked out of the bedroom and into the bathroom, the living room was completely plunged into darkness, presumably his father had already rested.

Instead of turning on the light in the living room, he went straight into the bathroom, intending to wash his face and go to bed.

Turning on the faucet, some warm water flowed out, Xia Qi lowered his head to wash off the anxiety on his face.

However, in the process of washing his face, he vaguely heard a "creaking" door. He subconsciously looked at the frosted glass of the bathroom, and saw a black figure standing upright outside the door!

"Dad?"

Xia Qi tried to call out, but the figure standing outside the door didn't answer him, but disappeared abruptly.
