Condor New Calendar, October 19th.

Blue Deer City, compared to the dark and icy style of Mercer, this is a beautiful city full of idyllic atmosphere, quiet and perfectly integrated with nature, but in the great era of "the return of the spirit", it is inevitable that many mysterious events will breed here.

If you are a wealthy person or a person with a higher social status, when you encounter such an event, you can use your own channels to obtain effective help and shelter.

But there are some ordinary people who can only help themselves.

At this time, a bus full of "help-seekers" was breaking through the dense fog in the morning and driving along a road that was getting narrower and narrower in the suburbs to the foot of Lushan.

There were about a dozen passengers on the bus.

There are men and women, young and old, with couples, families or individuals as different units, ordinary clothes, it seems that for some reason, they do not pay so much attention to their personal image, their faces are worried, and there is still fear in their eyes.

Sitting at the back of the bus, he was seen by the others as a poor old gentleman with gray hair, some old but neatly ironed suits, gray hats, and suitcases that were clearly luxurious.

He looked at the passengers in the same car, and he didn't need to turn on special abilities, and he instantly recognized what was going on in these people.

"All three couples have the aura of ghosts, which should be left over from a mysterious event, with a slight curse, and according to the rules of the mysterious side, the ghosts will follow them at some point and take something, life or something from them. ”

"A family of six, with the smell of demons on their bodies, but they are not powerful, they should be some low-level demons. ”

"Four different individuals, three of whom are scaring themselves, and the remaining one has a more serious problem, a clear mark of witchcraft, provoking an evil wizard?"

Naturally, the passengers didn't know that the "old man" who took the bus halfway had seen the changes in them in the blink of an eye.

Except for the three men and women who had a false alarm, the rest of them have become "contacts", meaning that they are all involved in different mysterious events, and although they have all temporarily saved their lives, they are remembered by ghosts, demons, and evil wizards.

The purpose of their gathering on the bus is also clearly written on the poster pasted outside the bus at this moment.

also saw that poster, Tang Qicai chose to forcibly hitchhike.

It was a somewhat fancy poster, full of grotesque symbols and ancient symbolic signs, and in the center was an image of a figure clearly cut out of an old photograph, an extremely decadent and thin middle-aged wizard with dark eyes, as if he had overindulged.

"Mad Wizard's Sanctuary?"

Tang Qi's mind automatically came up with the scene he saw before getting into the car, and a weird smile appeared on his face.

Especially when the dreary bus drove through the foggy suburban roads to an old villa deep in the jungle, a huge light sign that was out of step with its surroundings immediately caught the eyes of all passengers.

There are five large characters clearly written on it, and it is still around the font, making a similar texture.

Ralph House!

At the first glance of the name, coupled with the few words of conversation with the other passengers after getting on the bus, Tang Qi completely understood what the Al family was doing now.

As the last passenger to get off the bus, he looked at the gray-white old villa in front of him, which was a little old, but still had an aristocratic atmosphere, and his special abilities were turned on silently, and several vague information fragments jumped out intermittently.

[Strange Thing: The Mad Wizard's Villa.] 】

[Status: Normal.] 】

[Information fragment 1: Once used as the residence of the mad wizard Ralph, he created a large number of magical and weird witchcraft in it, although Ralph could not become a real wizard because the spirit tide did not return, but the villa contaminated with Ralph's breath became a special place under the wash of the spirit tide. 】

[Information fragment 2: Ralph's breath makes the villa form an invisible shield, which will shock evil and chaotic creatures such as fierce spirits and demons close. 】

[Information fragment 3: Also because of Ralph's breath, the villa has a chance to attract some special creatures to approach, which are generally harmless creatures. 】

......

"Should I say that I am worthy of being a descendant of Ralph, although I didn't learn Ralph's witchcraft, but after knowing that the villa left by Ralph has a deterrent effect on evil spirits and other creatures, I decisively took advantage of it and opened a shelter?"

"It's a genius, and it's a very good idea, I don't know what the fee is?"

Tang Qi smiled, and immediately followed the others to Al Ralph, who was standing in front of the villa at this moment, and his wife Talia, whom he had not seen for a while.

When they first met, the two were like the passengers in the car, panicked and frightened by the pursuit of a "witch hunter", and Al tried desperately to protect his family.

Now the two of them have completely different temperaments.

Al Ralph, in particular, is dressed in a decent shirt, a comfortable sweater, calm eyes, curly hair is well groomed, and the corners of his mouth seem to be smiling all the time, exuding a reassuring and trusting temperament.

"Huh?"

It's just that when Tang Qi's gaze swept over and automatically captured the content of the information fragments attached to his body, a touch of surprise immediately appeared.

"Transcendent Creature: A wizard descendant, with pure wizard blood, but for some unknown reason, the bloodline aura in his body is constantly fading...... He is still Ralph's son, but the likelihood of him inheriting Ralph's talent for witchcraft is rapidly decreasing. ”

"The veins fade?"

Tang Qi's brows furrowed immediately, this was a completely unexpected change.

The so-called "blood fading" is not uncommon on the mysterious side.

But it is usually because the purity of the bloodline is weakened as the offspring continue to intermarry with outsiders.

It is extremely rare for a son of a wizard like this, who is directly degraded.

Tang Qi immediately began to think of the information he had read, this kind of situation was rare, but it was not impossible, Tang Qi tried to guess which one?

"Look at his daughter Sarah, and that little boy, is there a similar situation?"

Just as Tang Qi was thinking, the group of worried and frightened passengers had already come to the Al couple with large bags of luggage.

Among the three couples who knew each other, a young man with a strong figure and long blond hair put his arms around his haggard girlfriend, and asked, half nervous and half questioning: "Sir, you can really isolate evil spirits here?"

"We have to be honest with you, we have really seen the evil spirit, it is a murderous maniac, it has killed eight of our companions, the police don't believe us, but I swear in my grandmother's name, everything I said is true. ”

"If you can really help us, you can pay any price, but if you can't, it's just to cheat money, we don't want to bother you......"

The young man spoke quickly and a little disheveledly, obviously under a lot of pressure, and as he spoke, his emotions became agitated, and the skin of his bare arms began to change strangely and terrifyingly.

Bright red lines appeared out of thin air, gradually outlined into the shape of a skull, and two machetes appeared, crossed together, and terrible malice permeated, and the temperature of the surrounding area began to plummet, and the sudden change made the couple scream.

The blonde youth seemed to be enduring the pain, he pointed to his arm, and roared in fear, "It's ~ it's coming!"

From composure to loss of control, in less than a second.

The young man hadn't become hysterical yet, probably because he had already seen the scene of evil spirits killing people.

But it only lasted for a few seconds, as the markings grew clearer.

The cold wind wrapped in the cold to the point of freezing the marrow suddenly swept up, and the fallen leaves and mist rose up, blocking out the warm morning sun, and it was at this moment that a void figure suddenly appeared in the shadows of the dense forest.

He was dressed in clothes that had rotted so much that he could no longer distinguish the style and age, there was no flesh on his body, only skeletons wrapped in foul-smelling sludge and maggots, he carried a machete in each hand, and in his dark eye sockets, a miserable green flame was slowly rising.

The skull's mouth slowly opened, spitting out a foul-smelling mist that formed invisible chains that entwined towards the three couples.

The hoarse voice with a coldness seeping into the blood penetrated into everyone's ears:

"You ...... I can't escape!"

For a moment, all three couples, including the three couples, were frozen in fright, their bodies trembling wildly, as if they wanted to scream, but they couldn't make any sound when they reached their mouths.

They all froze in place like sculptures, waiting for the evil spirit to come and swing their machetes and cut off their heads.

Tang Qi didn't intervene, but looked at Al.

He wondered how Ralph's son, who was gradually losing his "wizarding talent", would deal with the scene in front of him.

It was when he looked at him that Al took a step forward and grabbed the stunned blonde youth with his hands, while whispering to the other frightened people, "Follow me, evil spirits cannot invade Ralph's house." ”

"Whew"

As soon as he was caught, not only the blonde youth, but everyone seemed to have just woken up from a dream, staggering and running towards the villa with the couple in tow.

It was also at this time that the "evil spirit" hiding in the dense forest seemed to fall into a rage because of the intervention of outsiders, and his whole person turned into a foul-smelling gas, swept out the smoke that blocked the sun, and rushed over at a terrifying speed.

The disgusting skull poked out first, and then the bloodstained, rusty machete, slashed down at the crowd.

But just as he stepped into the inner area of the villa, the empty space that had been empty and red-red flames swept out violently.

"Boom!"

The flame with a certain characteristic instantly ignited the body of the evil spirit, although the subsequent burning was slow, but it still brought the evil spirit severe pain, he wailed, screamed, and finally had to wield a machete, cutting off most of his body, and only then did he get out of the flames.

It dissolves again into a foul-smelling mist, burrows into the ground, and disappears in an instant.

Tang Qi followed behind the crowd unhurriedly, completely ignoring the machete that was supposed to slash at his head.

His gaze first looked at the sudden burst of flames, and then condensed on the ancestral villa of the Ralph family, and a flash of amazement flashed.

"Because it was contaminated with too much Ralph's breath, it was transformed into a large curiosity, and some sorcery, including the fire charm, was constant...... A safe haven indeed. ”
