Chapter 19: Your Home Is Gone
"Hiss, I really didn't expect to encounter such delicious food in this inner realm."
In Baicao Alley, two alleys away from Chengnan Street, a shadowy man in a white suit stood up and licked his mouth, as if he was still a little unsatisfied.
"Ah~ I really didn't expect that the essentia of your inferior creature could bring me such a wonderful touch to my soul.
The magical being who used only a drop of blood to make you cross classes, and even surpass me in essence, really makes me yearn for it, and my heart is relaxed.
I can't wait to devour him all. β
He looked down at the lobster monster huddled in the corner and shuddered, and had lost its two giant pincers, and smiled demonically.
"Ah~, I'm sorry, I'm just too hungry, and I didn't mean to kill you.
No way, the essentia in this dilapidated city is so little that people can't be interested at all.
If I had sensed that some great being was about to awaken here, I wouldn't have traveled all the way to this barren place.
Hey, hey, why do you look like you want to eat me alive?
I just ate your two pincers, that's it.
At least for now, you're alive and well, aren't you?
You should thank me for my kindness. β
He gracefully pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his mouth gentlemanly.
And at his feet, the crayfish that escaped from the sewer of Lu Jiu's house two days ago and grew dozens of times in just two days,
At this moment, he was trembling and foaming at the mouth, and his eight gastropods were constantly twitching weakly and desperately.
Its two pincers, which were enough to make countless humans tremble, had been eaten by the mysterious man in a white suit.
Pain and despair of dying came over it at the same time.
But under the gaze and coercion of this mysterious man, it couldn't even think of escaping from its heart.
"Now, then, it's your turn to tell me where the great species that made you evolve is.
I swear in the name of 'Offering to the King' that I will not eat you as long as you show your worthy value." β
Gracefully putting the handkerchief back in his pocket, he lowered his head slightly and leaned towards the lobster.
"Really, really?
As long as I show my due value, I won't be eaten by you? β
The lobster looked up at the mysterious man in horror, but turned his head away in fear for the moment they looked at each other.
"Really, I promise in the name of 'Offering the King'."
The mysterious man smiled and vouched for his most important essentia.
"Well, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything.
The human who gave me blood to open my mind and embark on the path of evolution lives on Seongnam Street, two blocks away.
There is a pile of old and worn furniture in front of his house, which is very easy to find.
I've shown my worth, now can you let me go? β
The lobster, who had brought everything out of the way, seemed to have finally found a way to survive in hell, and his words were full of anticipation and gratitude.
It is conceivable that at the moment of the mysterious consent of the self-proclaimed 'Offering King', it will swing its eight abdominal feet wildly at the same time, and flee with all its might.
"Of course."
The mysterious man replied with a smile, but stepped on the body of the big lobster who was about to get up.
"You, what else do you want me to do?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just a little unfed."
"But you clearly use essentia as a guarantee, and you said that as long as I show my due value, you won't eat me."
"Yes, I'm using essentia as a guarantee."
"Then you ......"
Hearing this, the mysterious man seemed to be unable to hide his expression any longer, and actually laughed out loud like a demon.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hahahahahaha.
Didn't you discover the value of your existence, and after you gave you the exact address, you were squeezed dry?
What's more, I used the 'dedication to the king' as a guarantee,
And when have I ever confessed that I am the 'Sacrifice King'?
Hahaha, hahahahahaha.
Now, please show your last value and be the dinner in my belly, hahahahahaha. β
"You,
You, you, you......
Yes! β
......
"Hiss."
The mysterious man, who had already eaten dinner, spat out the slender snake letter again, still licking the corners of his mouth with great satisfaction, and then his eyes widened suddenly.
"Then it's time to pay a visit, the Great Being."
.
.
Knock knock.
Knock knock knock.
"Come on, come on, don't knock, knock on the door again."
Lu Jiu, who had already enjoyed dinner and eliminated his food by the way, had just returned home at this time to wash his clothes and was about to dry them.
Immediately, a slightly forceful and hurried knock was heard.
But at such a late hour, who will come to find you?
Forget it, whatever,
You can't be bored and come to yourself for supper.
Lu Jiu thought about it as he opened the door.
"What, why you?"
The visitor didn't answer, but just shook the spicy crayfish that was still steaming in his hand in front of Lu Jiu, and then squeezed into Lu Jiu's house with a displeased face.
Lu Jiu, who smelled the fragrance of crayfish, immediately swallowed his saliva, and his stomach, which was already not full, protested again.
This, I really came to find myself for supper.
"Then, what Miss Luo, my room is a little messy, don't mind too much."
"It's fine."
Luo Zhige, who had been frowning since before entering the house, shook his head, sat on the dilapidated sofa of Lu Jiu's house angrily, and then opened the lobster box and ate it himself.
Although she said that it was fine, whether it was her deeply furrowed eyebrows, or the violent dismemberment of the crayfish, or the squeaky sound between her teeth due to force, it all said,
At this time, Luo Zhige was very angry.
"Well, Miss Luo, what the hell is going on with you?"
As smart as Lu Jiu, of course, he would not be naΓ―ve to think that Luo Zhige came here in the middle of the night just to have a supper with him.
There must be another reason for this.
Although at this time, he really wanted to just sit down and have a full meal with Luo Zhigo without hesitation.
"Senior Brother Tang didn't let me participate in the inspection operations of the Psionic Affairs Bureau, just let me be on call at any time.
That's why I'm coming to you for supper. β
Luo Zhige didn't raise his head, he still lowered his head and ate violently, but between his words, he was already full of dissatisfaction.
"This ...... Probably Director Tang is worried about your safety. β
"But I have nothing to worry about.
On the contrary, without my existence, those cadres and police officers who conduct patrols alone will be more worried. β
"That's just as well."
Lu Jiu, who already had a considerable understanding of Luo Zhige's strength, was deeply convinced of Luo Zhige's opinion.
But in this case, why did Tang Shu prohibit Luo Zhige from participating in the inspection?
Lu Jiu shook his head and decided not to think about this big problem for him.
He sat down, too, and stretched out his hand to fill the empty stomach.
Luo Zhige, who was recognized by Lu Jiu, suddenly opened the conversation folder, and since she met Lu Jiu, the conversation has unexpectedly become more.
"That's right, this Luochuan City is clearly the toughest in me, but my senior brother didn't let me participate in the operation, and lied to me and said that I would protect you, who are likely to be listed as the target of the attack.
Hmph, I know, he's just trying to find an excuse to break me apart.
What else do you say to protect you, is it possible that you, an ordinary person without psychic powers, can you encounter any great danger? β
As soon as the words fell, a violent shock came from under Lu Jiu's feet.
The next second,
His home is gone.
