There was a 'hmm' sound slowly from inside, and the door dared to be opened—

The man was sitting in a chair with a pen in his hand as if he were writing calligraphy......

I walked in cautiously, for some reason I always felt that I was a little shorter in front of him, was it really a difference in momentum?

Because...... He's been alive for I don't know how many years, and I'm just a piece of cake?

"I'm back." Seeing that he didn't mean to speak, I had to bite the bullet and say.

He slowly raised his head, but ...... His face seemed paler than before, and he felt a little sickly......

Could it be him...... A bold idea suddenly broke into my mind, and I was subconsciously stunned.

That's why you want this power stone?

"What? Think I can't do it anymore? An absent-minded smile crossed his lips, and a pair of eyes looked at me with a slight scrutiny.

I quickly lowered my head, "No." ”

"But that's what your eyes tell me, but ......," he said slowly, "you're right, I'm dying." ”

I didn't expect him to say that all of a sudden, and I looked at him suspiciously.

"If you want to kill me, now is the best chance." He really is...... I was slightly stunned when I said the astonishing words, but I was even more suspicious in my heart.

He was tempting me, not just me, but ...... It's more like testing my heart.

The thought of killing him was fleeting, and I knew that even if he was like this, I would still not be his match.

Not to mention killing him, there seems to be someone in the room who is protecting him, how can I possibly succeed?

"No kidding." I frowned slightly, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Hehe......" he suddenly laughed, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "You should be stronger." ”

I didn't speak, he ...... What exactly do you want to say? I don't seem to understand what he means anymore.

"Or else...... I can't help it......" He seemed to be talking to himself.

"Did you bring anything back?" It took an unknown amount of time before he slowly raised his head and came back to his senses from a thoughtful state.

I nodded, took the stone out, and placed it on the table in front of him.

The stone was filled with energy, and the whole room could clearly feel it.

"Wan'er got it." I didn't dare to ask for credit, so I told him the truth.

But I didn't expect it...... He actually laughed, as if something happy had happened.

I looked at him puzzled, since I had seen him...... The first time I saw him smile so happily, could it be that he was evil?

Just when I wondered if he had fallen into an evil spirit, he stopped abruptly—

"Being so honest will only hurt you, I just need to see the results, sometimes...... Not explaining is not a deception, remember? His sunken eyes stared at me so hard that I had to nod.

"What the hell is this stone? Why ......"

"Why is it with energy? Because he is a power stone, containing power that you and I cannot control. He didn't hesitate to explain, "That's why the deal was sold at such a high price." ”

I was slightly stunned, could I say...... He knows the deal price, does that mean......

"You've spied on ......"

"I know everything about you, so you don't have to ...... just now Ahem! Halfway through his words, he suddenly coughed from a distance!

I was slightly stunned, and subconsciously walked over and helped him up-

But there was a terrible cold in him, as if he were ...... It's not like a normal person should be at a temperature.

"The stone ......," he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the black stone.

I quickly took it and put it in his hand—

There was something like steam visible to the naked eye on the black stone...... It flowed into his body continuously, and then his face was much better!

At this time, I suddenly realized that I was holding his shoulder, and I was so frightened that I quickly retracted my hand-

"See what this is?" He slowly lowered the stone, and the steam on the stone disappeared immediately.

I nodded, this stone ...... It's even more amazing than I imagined, it's just ......

"Any idea why it's worth the price?" He asked rhetorically.

I had no choice but to nod, but I didn't understand what he was telling me so much for, was it just to popularize science with me?

"Let's go down, come back tomorrow, in this room." When he had finished speaking, he waved his hand, and immediately a maid came out and led me out—

I suddenly had a little confused, what the hell was going on?

It was as if he hadn't told me something, and it made me feel very uneasy.

I glanced at my watch, and it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, but ...... Where is Wan'er?

"Is Wan'er back?" I couldn't help but ask the maid in front of me, but she just looked back at me, "My lord, your status is honorable. ”

I was slightly stunned when I heard her say, "So you don't have to worry about a maid, your task is to fulfill the master's orders." ”

Looking at her indifferent expression, my heart suddenly felt a little ...... I can't say how I feel, can I abandon everything for the sake of power?

Worried about Wan'er's safety, I was so distracted all the way that I would only ...... when I returned to my room Didn't pay attention to the situation in the room either!

Until...... I saw the girl standing in the doorway!

Wan'er looked a little haggard, but overall she didn't look bad.

"You ......"

"Your Excellency, you're back." The moment she saw me, she immediately bowed her head, and her respectful look was no different from usual.

Except for the pale complexion.

I nodded, "I have something to look for you, so I'll come in first." ”

I beckoned her to follow, and she looked at me and immediately understood, closing the door behind me.

I didn't fail to see the maid's inquiring gaze outside, but...... I must not let her get her hold of anything.

It wasn't until the popularity outside disappeared that I was secretly relieved.

"Where have you been today?" I frowned slightly and looked at Wan'er, she seemed to be more haggard than before, and her lips were pale.

"I'm fine, don't worry, adults." She still looked so respectful that she couldn't fault it at all.

It seemed that she still didn't believe me, so I sighed helplessly, took out a piece of paper from my pocket and stuck it directly on her back.

"You-"

"Don't move, you'll feel better." Looking at her, she must have suffered an internal injury, and if she is not treated in time, she will leave the root of the disease, which is also the method taught to me by the third senior brother, and it is quite effective.

She didn't speak, she stood there silently.

It wasn't until I felt better that I took the talisman off.

Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, I patted her on the shoulder: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, go back and rest first." ”

But she shook her head.

"My lord, you can rest first, and then we can rest." She bowed her head slightly, looking respectful, and I was helpless.

I almost forgot that this was in the big mansion, and there was the man's eyeliner everywhere, in short, he would find out what I did.

"Okay." I had no choice but to close the door, and I was secretly relieved to see Wan'er disappear into the door of the room.

There shouldn't be any problems, it's just ...... This inexplicable worry also made me a little restless.

I always feel ...... It was as if something was going to happen, but it was completely out of my head.

I'm going crazy.

I didn't get a good night's sleep after tossing and turning, and I just felt like I had a long dream, and everything that happened in the dream was ......

The next day, I was about to go to the man when I was told that he was no longer here.

But no matter how much I asked him where he had gone, all the maids were silent, and none of them told me.

It's as if we've discussed it.

"What about Wan'er? Where is she? "I grabbed a maid at the door, but her expression was cold and terrible, and she just shook her head.

"Where's Wan'er?" I grabbed another maid, "You'd better tell me, or I'll kill you." ”

I coldly threatened, I was just trying to scare her, but she fell to her knees!

"Please, don't...... Miss Wan'er...... Miss Wan'er, she ...... "She looked at me with a pair of frightened eyes, and her speech was a little unclear.

"What's wrong with her!?" I suddenly had a bad feeling......

She ...... She was taken away by adults, and we don't know where to go......" she explained in a trembling voice.

Where did they go......

But she kept shaking her head, like I was going to kill her.

The people here are obviously very skilled, why are they so afraid? I don't know if she's alone, it seems that other people are a little unaccustomed to my existence, but ...... You really don't dare to clash with me head-on.

I used to think it was because of the man, but now it seems to be ...... It's not like that.

"What else do you know...... Better tell me. "I pulled her off the ground at once—

"I really don't know! The host said he couldn't tell you...... Don't you kill me...... I don't want to die yet......" she cried all over her face, and I was upset to see it, so I threw her directly to the ground.

She disappeared as soon as she slipped away, and there was no one around at this time, and all the people who were usually haunted seemed to have disappeared as if they had said it......

Where the hell did they go? Why did he take Wan'er away?

I closed the door irritably, and was about to lie down, but suddenly I noticed a letter on the bed—

The black envelope reminded me of the little kid...... If I remember correctly...... That's what the envelope I got back last time was like that.

My heart jerked up, and I carefully picked up the envelope on the bed, which was not signed, but ...... It must have been for me.

[Bubble tea shop, kill her.] ]

Six words, suddenly appeared in front of me, making me slightly stunned-

Followed by...... I looked at the words on the letter in disbelief, and my mind went blank......

Kill her? I suddenly remembered the clerk of the bubble tea shop, and although I can't even remember the name now, I still remember the rainy night vividly...... Her helplessness when she asked me for help.

Even if he didn't tell me the truth at the time, but ...... I still believe in her......

Let me kill her...... How is this possible!?

This must have been left by the man, you don't have to think about it, but ...... What the hell is going on between them!? Why...... Will I be made to kill? I know I'm ......

[Otherwise, you'll regret it.] ]

On the back, there is another sentence.

Clutching the piece of paper tightly, I slowly crumpled it into a ball......

……

I don't even know how it came out, but when I came back to my senses, I was already standing at the door of the bubble tea shop, it was the evening rush hour, and there were still a few customers drinking there in the bubble tea shop occasionally......

I was standing in the corner and suddenly I felt ...... I don't seem to fit in here, and I don't dare to go near that side at all.

She still has a smile on her face, I don't know if it's my delusion, she seems to ......

There is a kind of calmness before parting.

Until the evening, I was still standing there, not moving......

I've never killed anyone, and I'm never going to do it.

But...... I was faintly worried about what he regretted, and I was really scared...... Because he knew me so well, I didn't dare to bet at all......

Bet all I had.

I watched her lock the door and leave the store, but I still didn't move.

My mind was blank at this point, and I didn't know ...... What to do yourself.

"Are you waiting for me?" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him-

I was startled, and subconsciously looked back-

I saw her...... He was standing behind me with a faint expression on his face, as if he saw me doing something ordinary......
