Forty-eight hours ago, one kilometer east of Pudong Century Park, inside a villa.

In the darkness was a thin figure.

When he woke up and faced the results of the slaughter, the muscles of his whole body subconsciously tensed, and his heartbeat accelerated.

Looking around at the mess, Wu Yuchen paced to Zhao Xingguo's corpse, which was tied to a chair behind his back, and his face and body were blurred with flesh and blood.

To be precise, in the past two hours, all the thirteen people who held an underground party in the villa were pierced through the throat with daggers, but Zhao Xingguo was cut off by Wu Yuchen after being tied up, and it is unknown when he lost his breath.

But when facing this corpse again, Wu Yuchen retreated one after another in shock, as a human being, this is the most normal reaction.

"What's the matter, isn't that what you want?" The moonlight on the windowsill shone on a woman in a black robe and a hood.

Only the outline could be seen in the shadows, but the voice sounded a little blurry, more like it had been dormant for a long time in the shadows.

At this moment, Wu Yuchen was wearing a suit stained with blood, and he was speechless to the woman.

"Come here." The woman beckoned casually.

Yu Chen snorted weakly, and finally made up his mind to walk over.

The smell of blood in the room didn't seem to change, but as he walked over tremblingly, and then followed the woman's finger and looked back, all the bodies in the room were gone.

What's going on? Yuchen fell to the ground in panic and covered her heart, but the woman immediately explained.

"That's a little bit of a thing, this kind of death will cause alarm in the wizarding world, so you can't ignore my feelings just because you want to kill."

"You...... Be? Wu Yuchen kept thinking about his previous memories, "What's wrong with me?" ”

The moment Wu Yuchen looked up, the woman had turned into a black mist, and after the fog drifted to the billiard table in the house, the woman reappeared.

"Young Master Wu, after you take revenge, you will be my official demon, about this contract, you must still remember it."

After saying this, the woman raised her wrist, and the engraving on her wrist emitted an obsidian light, and then she grabbed something tightly and forcefully, and Wu Yuchen's neck in the distance lit up with several dark marks, and as her throat was slowly tightened, Yuchen grabbed her neck in pain.

"Remember, remember...... Get. ”

I vaguely remember that night, when one of his subordinates grabbed Yu Chen's throat and pointed the dagger against his back, a word suddenly flashed in his ear. And Yuchen nodded without hesitation.

“…… Master. ”

He nodded his head as he had done at the beginning.

The woman narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, and quickly let go.

And the boy panting in pain fell to the ground.

"You're a smart kid too, so turn all your regrets into a simpler formula."

"Who do you want me to kill?"

"Kill? You're thinking too much. And do you really think you're invincible? Because the previous victims were ordinary people, they were so confident? ”

He lowered his head, "Please." ”

"The target is two people," the woman continued, pacing to the window, "but you've already done two things, so you should be a test subject until they let their guard down." ”

◇

"Actually, even my father is basically as worried as I am."

Back on the night of April 1, the two people who were lying side by side in Weiyang's room at the moment had exchanged their bodies.

For some reason, as if all the guards had been removed, Weiyang looked up at the ceiling and sighed in disappointment.

"If you're talking about the recent undercurrents, I'm not too worried." Xia Han's face showed a hint of indifference.

"You're really optimistic, but even so, I can't forgive you for what you just did." Weiyang turned around and solemnly protested with his eyes.

"Not really."

I'm afraid Xia Han won't be forgiven, because it was he who did the act of removing the effect of rock candy just now.

"Gee, imagine myself saying 'and you love me' to myself, it was really embarrassing." Weiyang covered his cheeks and shook his head.

Isn't it just a password to unravel the spell, as for thinking about it, although Xia Han also felt disgusting at the time.

"Having said that, I also read the police report of the party villa that Sister Ning Ran transferred just now, and there was no body at the scene, but there were a lot of blood stains left, which means ......"

"Dark magic?"

"And it's not black magic in the conventional sense, it can dissolve corpses without a trace...... The other party is more like someone who is close to the level of a great magician...... If it is really investigated," Weiyang turned away worriedly, "Father means that this may be related to the privacy of the Xu family, and it must be avoided by outsiders as much as possible." ”

"Your ......" has something to do with black magic?

"If my father said that, then I can't deny it all."

Xia Han quickly concluded, "If it was your grandfather, it wasn't said that he was exiled by your father, this rumor ......"

"Say it's exile......" Weiyang suddenly turned his head, showed an expression that you don't understand anything, and smiled, "It's better to say that he is going to leave by himself, as soon as I was born, he gave me a name and cut a small handful of hair and left, as for why he did it in the first place, no one knows." ”

"Actually, it's not hard to guess, since he can read the curse on you, it means ......"

"Xia Han, that's enough."

“…… I'm sorry. ”

Weiyang suddenly stood up and got into the quilt. Xia Han, who continued to lay on the floor, stared at the ceiling.

Sister Ning Ran said that she would go out for a trip, and then ...... "After a while, Weiyang added."

"Hmm."

The rest is up to us. (She didn't help much.) ）

But what should I do now? Because to be exact, there are only two people left who are at a loss.

In short, the two have a consensus, that is, it is best not to do anything at this time.

Because I just tried to open the door, but the door just won't open, no matter how hard I try.

I don't know when it started, but Puff actually squatted in the corner of the wall very energetically, staring at it all the time.

"There is also a possibility......" Weiyang said softly.

I was vaguely aware of the reason why my sister kept winning me, didn't you?

"What is possible?"

Weiyang didn't answer, but gently heaved her body as if she was asleep, and only the sound of her steady breathing remained in the room.

"Nothing." Weiyang thought for a while and replied.

"Sleep, I have to go to school tomorrow." Xia Han looked at the ceiling thoughtfully.

It is possible to deduce who the enemy is, but there are other possibilities.

Needless to say, no matter who it is, the danger is creeping in, and we can't pretend it doesn't exist, but we also can't rush to find the right way to find it.

“…… Quite right. Weiyang sighed, then closed his eyes to the wall.

The silence of the night gradually enveloped the fortress-like Western-style building.

Puff curled herself up in a ball and closed her eyes, leaving only the sound of steady breathing.

Xia Han looked at the colorful shadows and lights swaying on the ceiling, but was seized by heavy thoughts.

Don't give up, don't get tired of being alert to the anomalies around you, and tirelessly guard them.

Compared to the old self who took the order of one city as its own responsibility in the past, there seems to be some decisive difference between me at this moment.

I was smaller, more humble, and insignificant.

It's not a spurred self out of ambition, it's just a balance that hopes to be scrutinized by the future.

But even being trusted in that way, even if I see almost everything else, but not myself, is much more bitter than being blamed, despised or even ignored.

But the girl in front of me can continue to push me forward, and perhaps guarding these secrets with her is the only answer after countless failures.

This long night can't help but recall the spell of Qingyi.

That world turned upside down,

Where left is always right,

There the shadow is the real body,

There we were awake all night,

There the kingdom of heaven is so superficial, and the sea is so deep.

"Weiyang." Call to her solemnly and warmly.

But Weiyang wrapped the quilt tightly as if he wanted to see through something, "Don't, don't! Don't! ”

"What's wrong?"

"Have you forgotten what day of the month is Salted Fish?!"
