Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 80 A Happy Day

A week passed in a flash. Zhang Jingtian had not been to school and he found that he learned faster in the villa.

At night, Zhang Jingtian will release all three heroic spirits.

Not only Loulan can absorb the essence of moonlight, but Huapi and Yingning can also slowly obtain energy for upgrading by staying here.

Of course, Zhang Jingtian did not forget his way of making money. From time to time, he would take the human skin drum to the lake to take a look, and then let the three heroes catch them all in one fell swoop.

However, Zhang Jingtian discovered that fewer and fewer ghosts were attracted here recently.

Could it be that they have all returned to Xi Lake?
On Saturday morning, Zhang Jingtian was sitting by the window eating a sandwich.

This was given to them by the property management of their community.

The taste is very good.

The sun shines on the surface of Xihu Lake, making the waves sparkle.

If you didn't know that there are many ghosts sleeping under this lake, this is really a beautiful scenery.

At this time, Zhang Jingtian's cell phone rang.

I looked down and saw that it was a message from Tang Youai.

"It's my daughter's birthday today. Do you want to come over for dinner?"

Zhang Jingtian was a little surprised. He didn't expect Director Tang to invite him. But he had a very good impression of Director Tang and agreed immediately.

Although the community where Tang Youai lives is not as expensive as Tianlong Bay, it is not bad either.

The security guards at the door are all reserve card makers.

When Zhang Jingtian knocked on the door, a woman with her hair tied up came to open the door.

She must be Director Tang’s lover.

"Hello, sister-in-law." Zhang Jingtian said with a smile, then handed over the milk he had bought.

Tang Youai, who was sitting on the sofa, snorted, "You are such a disrespectful kid! You're the one calling me sister-in-law? I'm almost a generation older than you!"

My sister-in-law smiled and said, "He is just like that. Don't bother with him."

Today's birthday girl, Tang Youai's daughter, was also sitting on the sofa, secretly looking at Zhang Jingtian.

Maybe it was because Zhang Jingtian was handsome, or maybe it was his first time here, the little girl was very interested in him.

Seeing the girl blinking her big eyes, Zhang Jingtian also laughed.

"Hello, little angel! You look so beautiful, just like your mother!"

Tang Youai snorted lazily: "Her eyes are especially like mine."

When talking about his daughter, Tang Youai is full of pride.

Zhang Jingtian turned around and looked around, and found that there was no other guest in the room except him.

"Am I the only guest tonight?" Zhang Jingtian asked in surprise. He didn't expect that he meant so much to Director Tang.

After hearing what Zhang Jingtian said, Director Tang immediately chuckled: "You think too highly of yourself. You're overthinking it. You're not that great."

"Everyone else is still on their way here. We're not like you, who only need to take exams. We in the Public Security Bureau are usually busy!"

"Isn't there any big news recently?" Zhang Jingtian asked doubtfully. In fact, if he only read the news, he would really feel that the card-making world is peaceful and prosperous.

"That's because many people don't report it. Only after that incident did they have to alert local residents. But in fact, many people don't know what happened that night."

Zhang Jingtian thought about it and realized that the people didn’t even know that a cultist had come to their city.

"Director Tang, how's the hunt for the cultists going?" Tang Youai sighed. "What else can we do? Just leave it as it is! We've caught two cultists so far, both confessed and are dead. They were small fry, though. As for the bigger ones, I suspect they've all gotten away."

Zhang Jingtian sighed: "Sure enough, there are still some. The seemingly peaceful situation is just a facade."

"That's true," Director Tang nodded. "It would be great if everything were so peaceful. We could have some free time. You don't know, there have been quite a lot of little things going on lately."

Zhang Jingtian asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing much, just people suddenly disappearing. But, there's no connection, and we've found the cause. They're just wandering monsters from the Scourge."

"Was it like this a few years ago?" Zhang Jingtian was quite surprised. It turned out that in the eyes of the Public Security Bureau, disappearance was not a big deal.

"That's not the case. It just started this year. But compared to those high-level monsters causing trouble, this is already pretty good."

As he was speaking, someone else came to the door.

The people who came were all colleagues from Director Tang, and everyone knew Zhang Jingtian. Everyone did not forget to say hello to him when they came in.

Zhang Jingtian nodded one by one, then sat aside and listened to those people talk about how they handled the abnormal incidents.

A lot of it sounds like ghost stories.

What kind of girl comes home and finds signs that someone has been in her house?

In the middle of the night, she heard strange noises again. It turned out that the ghost had hidden in her bed. When she found it, she had been eaten to the point that only her limbs were left.

The most shocking one is about an old woman selling dumplings, and her three sons are helping her.

But later everyone found that the three sons were missing, and the dumplings tasted a bit strange.

It turned out that the old woman was bewitched by ghosts and killed her three sons, ate their internal organs, and then used the meat as dumpling filling.

But these things were done by low-level ghosts.

At this time, Zhang Jingtian glanced at the birthday girl, fearing that the little girl would not be able to sleep after hearing the ghost story.

When I turned around, I found that the little girl was listening with great interest and showed no fear at all.

After seeing Zhang Jingtian's expression, the little girl's mother explained, "She has loved listening to her father tell stories of horror since she was little. At first, I was worried that hearing too much of this kind of thing might be bad for her.

But I found that she was not affected at all, and it might even inspire her to make cards in the future, so I just let her go."

Zhang Jingtian hummed, "Not bad, this means he's been trained to be a card maker since he was young. Other families don't have such conditions!"

Tang Youai laughed at the side: "Of course, come, have a drink! Zhang Jingtian, put it down, you are still a minor, drink the beverage!"

Everyone raised their glasses and wished the little girl happy birthday.

The little girl's mother also brought out a birthday cake with six candles on it.

The shape of the cake is also very special, with three cute dolls standing on it, representing their family of three.

Zhang Jingtian smelled the fragrance of the cake and started drooling.

It smelled so good, he had never smelled such a delicious cake before.

He thought that he must ask his sister-in-law later where the cake was ordered.

"Happy birthday to you……"

After the birthday song ended, the girl blew out the candles.

Then my sister-in-law took a knife and cut the cake.

The moment the knife went down, red, fishy-smelling liquid spurted out from the soft cake crust.
