Chapter 109 Look at Her Face (Part Eight)
The old lady in the underground garage was an unknown entity, but from appearances, she seemed to be caring for those two strange babies.
Moreover, both of the strange babies were very fearful of her.
This fear could have been due to the old lady's inherently fierce nature, or perhaps it was caused by the innate oppression of a higher-level evil spirit.
However, in Yan Junze's view, the old lady was mild in disposition, and the fact that the strange babies were afraid of her was likely due to the oppression inherent in their evil spirit instincts.
It was like how Ke'er would run faster than a rabbit when encountering an evil spirit of a higher rank.
Earlier in the underground garage, it was due to Yan Junze's mistake, not clarifying and mainly not daring to look back, that he grabbed the wrong hand and led the old lady feared by the Back-faced Woman out instead.
As a higher-ranking evil spirit, the Back-faced Woman shared the natural fear of other evil spirits towards those more formidable than herself.
To Yan Junze, however, the old lady seemed very gentle and was easy to talk to, unlike those ferocious evil spirits.
Upon hearing what Yan Junze said, the Back-faced Woman stopped, no longer showing any intent to attack him, and seemed to be pondering.
"The two strange babies are waiting for us in the underground garage right now; we can go and meet them immediately!" Seeing the Back-faced Woman hesitating, Yan Junze quickly added another line.
The Back-faced Woman suddenly turned around and began walking backward toward the stairwell.
Yan Junze knew she had agreed and immediately followed her.
As they passed by the next two households, regardless of whether or not anyone was inside or whether these people were watching in horror from behind the windows at that moment, he warned each one.
"There's a fight between strange entities outside; you mustn't come out. The exorcist will arrive very soon!"
Of course, he hadn't made the 4747 call yet.
At this point, the Back-faced Woman was already descending the stairs, but Lv Xin's corpse still lay on the inevitable path they had to take. As Yan Junze passed through the stairwell, he had to step over or go around his body.
Upon reaching the stairwell, Yan Junze couldn't help but glance down at the deceased Lv Xin and saw that parts of the body had rotted away during the fight with the Back-faced Woman, and his face had turned a purplish hue, as if he had been dead for quite some time.

However, Lv Xin's expression was serene, not at all hideous, as if he was merely sound asleep.
"Resentment is but an obsession; may you let it go and reincarnate soon!"
Yan Junze murmured softly, carefully stepping over Lv Xin's body and following the Back-faced Woman downstairs.
Throughout the descent, the Back-faced Woman led the way, while Yan Junze also took the opportunity to take out his phone, but instead of dialing 4747, he directly called Huang Chen.
After quickly explaining the situation in a few words, he hung up, and by then, the human and the strange entity had already reached the first floor.
They did not encounter anyone along the way.
The Back-faced Woman stood motionless in front of the small door leading to the underground garage, seemingly waiting for Yan Junze to help her open it.
Yan Junze took a few steps forward, and upon opening the small door, the Back-faced Woman still did not move.
"Oh my God!"
Just then, a middle-aged man entered the stairwell behind them and, upon looking up, cried out in fright.
Yan Junze was startled and quickly turned to wave at the man, "Don't come over, leave this place!"
After the initial shock, the middle-aged man showed a look of surprise. Even though he kept retreating, he noticed that Yan Junze wasn't a strange being. Why would he be together with the white-clothed woman who had been lingering in the building for many days?
In this age of strangeness, anyone with common sense would not ask too many questions in such a situation.
Despite being full of questions, the middle-aged man heeded Yan Junze's words, immediately left Building 7, and stood outside, staring into the building with a mix of fear and shock.
The Back-faced Woman made no moves.
If Old Wang from next door had encountered the Back-faced Woman before, his inattention might have caused too much noise, entangling him in a situation where hair sprouted all over his body, which was worse than death itself.
It seemed that the Back-faced Woman was so eager to recognize her children that she no longer cared about the passersby.
After opening the door and seeing the Back-faced Woman not going down, Yan Junze hesitated for a moment and said, "If you don't trust me, I'll go first, and you can follow behind me from a distance."
As he finished speaking, he knew the Back-faced Woman wouldn't reply; he quickly stepped into the staircase leading to the underground parking.
After swiftly descending the stairs, Yan Junze immediately headed to the small storage room door in the southeast corner. After walking about two hundred meters and turning his head back, he could vaguely see the Back-faced Woman standing on the steps where he'd just come down.
He didn't linger any longer, quickly approaching the small door in the southeast corner, which was ajar due to a broken lock.
Gently pushing the door open, Yan Junze said, "Hello Granny, I've brought the Back-faced Woman to recognize the two little ones."
The room was dimly lit, and as far as the eye could see, there was no one to be found.
He then turned his attention to the completely dark room inside.
About ten seconds later, a bloated shadow appeared at the doorway, walking with an odd gait, its shoulders swaying from side to side. It stopped at the doorway of the second room.
It was indeed Granny.
At this moment, her slender hands were holding onto two strange babies, who appeared somewhat timid and shrinky under her management.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The Granny still wore a smile, her face round and plump; although wrinkled, it looked much more normal compared to the Resentful Granny.
"You've arrived."
Yan Junze smiled back, but he was only staring at Granny and deliberately avoided looking directly at the strange babies.
That was because these little creatures were particularly averse to the direct gaze of humans, which could easily make them irritable and enraged.
Yan Junze glanced back, standing by the door to check the garage behind him. He saw the Back-faced Woman had followed, standing by the side of a car but still at a considerable distance from this spot.
"Granny, perhaps the pressure you emit is too strong, and the Back-faced Woman doesn't dare to come over. You see, why don't you give me the strange babies? I'll take them to meet the Back-faced Woman," Yan Junze suggested.
Almost without hesitation, Granny kept her smile and, leading the two strange babies with a swaying motion, came forward and handed over their hands to him.
Looking at the Granny's sincere yet rigid smile, Yan Junze felt that his smile was not much different from hers. He reached out and took the small hands of the two strange babies.
"Granny, you're actually quite nice, it's just that your smile is a bit..."
At this moment, looking closely at Granny, Yan Junze felt her smile become increasingly unsettling, giving him the sensation of countless tiny bugs crawling up his back.
The Granny seemed to understand his words, but she just nodded her head, continuing to maintain that mysterious and eerie smile.
Awkwardly leading the two strange babies, Yan Junze walked out of the small door and headed towards where the Back-faced Woman was standing.
The Granny did not come out; she just stood there in the room, watching the two strange babies with a benevolent smile on her face.
Initially, the strange babies struggled in Yan Junze's hands, but perhaps because Granny was watching, the two little ones quickly followed him obediently towards the Back-faced Woman.
At the same time,
In the staircase of Building No. 7 on the fifth floor, the body of Lv Xin, which was lying on the ground waiting for an Exorcist to come and deal with it, suddenly twitched slightly.
Something beneath Lv Xin's clothes at his chest puffed up a bit, then settled back down.
The familiar voice of the Resentful Granny suddenly came from his chest: "It hurts..."
The next second, Lv Xin's eyes slowly opened, but he didn't get up. Instead, he started to speak as if talking to himself, "Old woman, you've become a Semi-Sculpting Spirit, but it seems you're still not up to par."
