Chapter 535: Ghost Footprints
Alex felt that this method was very childish. At this moment, he happened to drop a pen. He bent down to pick it up and glanced back from his crotch. There was nothing.
“Hehe, it’s indeed a fake method.” Alex shook his head and put the pen away. He didn’t know if it was his imagination, but he felt the tip of the pen move. He suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Alex stood up calmly and went straight to Amelia’s room. He lay down and was completely relieved. As expected, the quality of the bed in his daughter’s room was the best.
Amelia rolled over just in time to hug Alex. She called out groggily, “Daddy?”
Alex’s voice was low. “Yes, I’m worried you so I came to see you. Go to sleep.”
Amelia found it strange. She slept on her own long ago, Why was he suddenly worried? However, she was too sleepy to think too much about it. She hugged Alex and fell asleep.
Feeling Amelia’s small hands and feet on him, Alex felt as if he had pasted an evil-warding talisman on himself. There were no more problems. He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
At the door of the room, a pair of footprints suddenly appeared. As if they were afraid of something, they quickly disappeared.
Alex woke up not long after. He looked at the time and saw that it was only five o’clock. He usually woke up at this time and went out for a run. He would come back at about seven or eight and eat breakfast before going to the team. Amelia sometimes woke up after eight o’clock. Most of the time, he couldn’t accompany her. Now, it was the best he could get. Sometimes, Alex wanted to wake Amelia up, but on second thought, girls could be spoiled a little. The old lady had a point. You could only grow taller if you slept enough.
Alex kissed Amelia’s forehead. Amelia was in a deep sleep. When he kissed her, the corners of her mouth subconsciously twitched into a sweet smile. Alex’s eyes were filled with love, and his heart had never been so soft. He returned to his room and changed before leaving. He didn’t notice at all that there was a pair of footprints behind him.
The sky was not completely bright yet. Alex ran on the sidewalk. The wind blowing over from the river was very cool. He ran very quickly, but at this moment, he suddenly felt someone following behind him… He narrowed his eves and did not turn around. Instead, he increased his speed. The footsteps behind him were faint, but they always maintained a very regular rhythm and followed closely.
Soon, Alex’s figure ran on the runway around the circular track. He was very fast, as if there was a ghost chasing after him. An old man who had also woken up early to exercise held a small speaker and played a song while moving his body. In the next second, the old man saw an afterimage fly over and disappear with a whoosh.
The old man: “???”
Alex’s running speed was much faster than an ordinary person’s, but the footsteps behind him were still like maggots that followed closely behind him. Alex was numb. It was impossible for an ordinary person to keep up with his speed and not pant. Thinking of the car accident last night, he already understood a little. [Why was he following him instead of going to reincarnate after being hit by a car?
Amelia had said that when you walked at night and realized that there was something following you, you must not look back. Because there were three Yang flames on a person’s body, two on their shoulders and one on their forehead. When you looked back, you would blow out the Yang fire on your shoulder. Then as long as you did not look back and turned around, you would definitely be fine!
At the thought of this, Alex instantly soared into the air and used inertia to turn around. To act recklessly, to throw caution to the wind, he first kicked out with a sweeping kick! There was nothing behind him. Alex also felt that he had not kicked anything and had fallen to the ground. However, at that moment, he finally saw clearly the pair of footprints behind him. There were no ghosts, only a pair of footprints?
Alex stood up and ran back without any hesitation. The old man with the stereo was humming along to the music and shaking his body. In the end, the afterimage that had just passed passed by him with a whoosh.
The old man: “…” Today’s exercise was a little strange.
Amelia woke up and realized that she was alone in the room. The sky was not completely bright yet. Seven was quietly squinting his eyes. She sat on the bed in a daze and had yet to come back to her senses. Was she dreaming last night? She dreamed that her father was chased by ghosts and came to look for her. He treated her as an exorcism talisman and stuck her to his body.. She struggled for a long time but could not move…
