Aggrieved, scared, nervous...... All negative emotions completely exploded at this moment.

It wasn't until Lu Banxin cried hoarse that he left Zhu Heng's arms with sobs.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhu Heng."

"Fool, what do you say I'm sorry, I'm your brother, if you have any grievances, just tell me, don't worry, I'm here." Zhu Heng stroked Lu Banxin's shoulder and comforted.

Lu Banxin wiped away his tears and looked at Zhu Heng for a long time.

The experience of this night was so bizarre that even I wondered if I was dreaming, and even thought that I had a serious delusion. And Zhu Heng is just a partner who got along briefly when he was a child, and he can't talk about a good relationship at all, not to mention that ten years have passed, people will change, talk to him, will he believe it?

"Brother Zhu Heng, I'm ...... Can I trust you? ”

Lu Banxin asked tentatively.

"Of course."

Zhu Heng smiled slightly, opened the curtains, and the sunlight outside the house shone on him through the glass, and his childhood friend in white in the light was as noble as a prince charming.

Lu Banxin glanced at him several times before he reluctantly looked away, cleared his throat and said, "Grandpa's basement...... There are youkai. ”

"Youkai?"

Zhu Heng's hand paused slightly, but he didn't look surprised, he walked to the side of the bed and touched Lu Banxin's forehead, and asked like a child, "Then tell me what kind of monster it is?" ”

This move was very intimate, but Lu Banxin felt very bad, Zhu Heng seemed to regard himself as a madman, and in order to prevent him from sending himself to a mental hospital, he quickly changed his words: "Hehe, I lied to you." ”

Zhu Heng raised his eyebrows lightly, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said gently, "Isn't it...... Black fog like a tiger? ”

"You...... You actually know? ”

Lu Banxin's eyes widened suddenly.

"yes, I know." Zhu Heng pushed the broken hair next to Lu Banxin's cheek behind his ear, and said softly, "Have you heard of Han Zhu?" ”

"梼杌? One of the four fierce beasts? ”

"That's right. That black fog is a wisp of the soul of Hanqi, and under the suppressed Sifang Street, Grandpa Lu is the gatekeeper responsible for guarding it. ”

Lu Banxin looked at Zhu Heng suspiciously, and said in his heart, not only am I crazy, but the people in this world are also crazy?

Zhu Heng took Lu Banxin's expression in his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you're not crazy, and I'm not crazy, it's just that the world we live in has changed." ”

Even if she saw the black mist turn into a tiger, her father's eyes glowed red, and the stone turned into a scale, it was still a little difficult for Lu Banxin to accept this world that was completely different from what she knew, and she looked at Zhu Heng and stopped talking.

"Don't you notice that Square Street has become a little different from ten years ago?"

Zhu Heng asked again, and his words made Lu Banxin's thoughts suddenly return to the era in his memory.

Ten years ago, not long after his mother died, his father was fired for offending the company's top management, and he had no choice but to go home and take over his grandfather's grocery store, and he was forced to transfer from a private school to Square Street Elementary School.

That year, grandpa gave him a small stone, and later Zhu Heng came and lived in the basement with his grandfather for half a year.

Regarding the memory of this half year, Lu Banxin thought about it for a long time, the strange thing is that except for some scattered pictures, she couldn't remember anything about Zhu Heng, this doesn't make sense at all, could it be that vague half a year is the turning point of the whole thing? If what Zhu Heng said was true, why did Grandpa let an outsider know the secret of the Lu family? Could it be that Zhu Heng's appearance in his home is not accidental?

Lu Banxin thought about it for a long time, but he didn't find Zhu Heng's so-called difference, but he caused a bunch of questions, so he asked again: "If what you said is true, then why does grandpa want you to know the secret in my basement?" You're an outsider, after all. ”

Zhu Heng sighed, looked at the potted plants on the windowsill, and said in a low voice: "Because there are two gatekeepers on Sifang Street, the other is my mother, but after she had an accident ten years ago, I took her place." ”

"Didn't you go abroad? How to replace? ”

"That's just an excuse to declare to the outside world, it's my father who went abroad, and I've actually been secretly living on Square Street."

"Secretly? Why secretly? Can't live openly? ”

Lu Banxin was completely aroused by his curiosity and kept throwing out various questions.

Instead of being displeased, Zhu Heng seemed extremely patient and replied, "Because there is another group of people who have been trying to find the entrance to seal the Han Zhu, their purpose may be a great threat to the entire human world, so I must hide. ”

"Another group of people?"

Lu Banxin muttered, and a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly flashed in his mind. I wondered if 'father' was one of those people. Since they had a plan, they must have guessed that the basement was the entrance to the seal, then they should have found the door a long time ago, but now they are not moving, what is the reason?

Could it be that Zhu Heng is lying to me?

Lu Banxin secretly looked at Zhu Heng with his peripheral vision, and saw that his expression was calm and his eyes were bright, and it didn't seem like he was lying at all, unless he had deceived himself with superb acting skills.

Besides, even the black fog can turn into a tiger, so what else is impossible in this world?

"For so many years, you have been well protected by Grandpa Lu and Uncle Lu, so it is difficult to understand and accept what I said." Zhu Heng interrupted Lu Banxin's contemplation and said, "But, Banxin, I hope you can think about it, I believe that Grandpa Lu should have left you some clues before he died, but you didn't care at the time." ”

"Clues?"

Zhu Heng's words made Lu Banxin fall into deep thought, she turned out all the memories about ten years ago, searched and filtered a little bit, and thought about it for a long time, the clearest thing was the small blue stone.

"Try to think about whether anything strange has ever happened to you in Square Street, even if it is small." Zhu Heng reminded again.

This sentence made Lu Ban's heart suddenly, and an inconspicuous dusty past in his memory slowly surfaced in his heart.

The time was about after Zhu Heng left the grocery store, one summer evening, Lu Banxin walked to the snack bar opposite the grocery store after school, just in time to be hungry, there were still a few yuan of change left in his pocket, so he ordered a bowl of wonton stew at the snack bar, and in the middle of eating, she suddenly heard a roar similar to a beast from the back kitchen of the store, she was startled, driven by curiosity to take a sneak peek, just walked to the kitchen door but was dragged by the suddenly arrived grandfather.

Lu Banxin vaguely remembered that his grandfather's face was very bad at that time, so he asked her to go home immediately, but he got into the back kitchen of the snack bar.

Half an hour later, Grandpa came home sweating profusely, looking so tired that he went back to the basement without even eating dinner, and did not show up until the next day.

During that time, I was catching up with Lu Banxin's final exam, and I was very nervous about studying, so I gradually forgot about it. In retrospect, it is highly likely that that roar was made by Han Zhu.

Zhu Heng saw that Lu Banxin's expression changed, knowing that she remembered some of the past, and said: "There are a total of forty-eight shops on Sifang Street, and there is a basement under every four shops, and each basement is a formation hub, these ties are connected together, in order to suppress a wisp of Han Qi's soul, Grandpa Lu and my mother are the gatekeepers of this enchantment, and now that the two of them are gone, the responsibility of guarding Han Qi naturally falls on you and me." Half-hearted, I hope you can obtain the power of the Void Moon as soon as possible and become a true Awakened. ”

Hearing the words 'Void Moon Power', Lu Banxin finally let down all his guard, and his tense spirit was completely relaxed.
