On the balcony of a luxury villa by the sea somewhere on Earth, an old man is sitting on a couch made of agarwood, looking at the night sky with his eyes half-closed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As a contract stargazer, he has been looking up at this familiar starry sky for half a century, and the natal star corresponding to the contractor is still so harmonious, and everything is in order.

The crisp sea breeze with a hint of saltiness made the whole world seem quiet and tranquil, until a soft female voice broke the silence.

"Grandfather, it's getting late, you should rest!"

The old man's wrinkled face showed a rare smile, tilted his head to look at his only granddaughter, and replied with a smile: "Little Suna, haven't you slept yet?" Wait a little longer, let me look at the stars for a little longer. ”

After speaking, the old man lay down on the couch again and continued to look up at the starry sky. For people of his age, there is not much time left, and I don't know how long I can enjoy this beautiful night sky.

"I'm watching tomorrow night, it's already two o'clock in the morning, hasn't the doctor been telling you to rest early?"

"You go to sleep first, give me half an hour, and I'll definitely go to sleep."

Suna shook her head and said categorically: "No! You have to go to rest now! ”

Hearing Suna's firm tone, the old man had to get up from the chair stupidly, otherwise he would have no food to eat all day today.

The moment the old man got up from the nightbed, a faint star suddenly disappeared in a certain night in the east.

This scene made the old man's face change when he was about to leave to rest, he immediately jumped up from the sleeping chair, ran quickly to the railing of the balcony, looked at the night sky where the stars disappeared, and said to Suna anxiously: "Suna, go to my room and take out the astrological chart!" ”

When Suna heard the old man tell her to get the astrological disk, her face immediately changed slightly, and she said, "Grandfather, do you want to use the astrological disk?" You know, every time you use it, you will be devoured by it! ”

"Of course I know, don't ask, go get it out for me!"

The old man's stern appearance startled Suna, and she began to remember that her grandfather had never been so out of shape as he was now.

At this time, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and quickly ran into her grandfather's room.

The old man kept pacing on the edge of the balcony, his face full of solemnity, it was not an ordinary star, but a star that symbolized the life of the contractor, if the star disappeared, then it meant that the contractor was dead.

Moreover, every time the contractor dies, the star that represents his destiny will make a sign of death a few days ago, bursting with a strong light of the dead, and the light will not disappear with the star until the contractor is dead.

Of course, this kind of blue-white light of the dead can only be seen by contract stargazers like him.

But this star didn't even burst out of the light of the dead in any of its appearances, but why did it suddenly disappear into the night sky?

"Messier number HL-049, how did it disappear? What's going on? ”

In less than a minute, Suna delivered the astrological disk to the old man, who took it and was about to prepare for divination, but the Messier number HL-049, which had disappeared into the night sky, reappeared in his sight!

The reappeared Xing Star did not change much from before, but the old man's hand shook, and the astrological chart in his hand immediately slipped to the ground.

"He devoured HL-049 and took its place!"

The old man sighed, picked up the astrological disk that had fallen on the floor, and said to Suna, who was standing beside him and knew nothing, "Suna crossed out HL-049 from the astrological chart and renumbered it UE (unkown-eaters)-050!" ”

……

And the unknown devourer in the old man's mouth was Qi Bo, and someone who didn't know it was sleeping at this time.

On the street not far from Qi Bo's rental house, two men covered in black robes appeared.

One of them asked his companion, "Tracy, are you sure that Wang Xiaohammer disappeared here?" ”

The other nodded, and replied in a slightly hoarse female voice, "There can't be a mistake, that's where that guy suddenly disappeared!" ”

At the same time, the woman named Tracy sniffed with her nose, "And the smell of his soul left here is still very strong, he should not be away for long!" ”

"I didn't expect that a mere human contractor would be able to escape the joint hunt of you and me, it seems that he still has some ability!"

Hearing this, Tracy sneered: "Rogge, do you really think he can retreat completely?" Don't forget that his physical body has been completely destroyed by us, and he can't pay the price of the contract by continuously using his abilities in a soul state, even if he escapes from our pursuit for a while, he can't escape the punishment of the contract. If you can't pay the price of the contract, even the princess can't save him! This Wang Xiaohammer is dead! ”

"So what do we do now? Do you just leave like that? ”

"No, you go back to the princess's side to observe first, so as to prevent this guy from escaping back to the princess's side!"

Rogge was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What about you?" Won't you come with me to the princess? ”

Tracy shook her head, "I still have some things to deal with in the human world, and when I finish those trivial things, I will naturally go back!" ”

Before Rogge could reply, Tracy vanished.

"To pay the price of the contract?"

Rogge lowered his hat and revealed a European face, looking only about twenty years old, with facial features like those of Rodin.

However, a narrow scar that spread from his forehead to his jaw ruined his handsome face and made him look very hideous.

Rogge looked at the direction in which Tracy had disappeared, pouted and said, "Tsk, isn't it just to pay the contract price to spy on the man?" Can you say it so implicitly? Alas, she was still a pure nun for more than 200 years...... Damn, it looks like the time for me to pay the price is almost up...... No way! You have to find a bread shop and buy bread quickly! ”

……

Tracy stood in the doorway of a room on a certain floor, "This should be it!" Where the smell of Wang Xiaohammer's soul finally disappeared! However, the house number of this room is really ......."

Shaking his head, Tracy's body went straight through the security door, and his body was like a ghost.

A drunk man lying on the wall of the corridor on the floor completely saw this terrifying scene, but the drunk man didn't seem to see the strangeness in it, but grinned and said: "Hey, I just saw a guy in a black robe, who walked directly into room 222 without pushing the door, haha, it's amazing, it's like a ghost!" Hmmm......"

Speaking of this, the drunk man picked up the wine bottle next to him and poured another sip of wine, muttering to himself: "It seems that in two days, the tenant of room 222 should pay the rent!" I'm worried about not having money to drink! ”

After taking another sip of wine, the drunkard suddenly felt a spirit, remembered what he had just seen, and immediately ran up to the third floor.

"Mom, Lao Tzu saw a ghost!"
