Prologue (1) The Origin of the Disaster

Next Chapter

Huo Yuan woke up from his dream, and the right-hand man beside him, Steward Ma, hurriedly greeted him.

Huo Yuan said: "It's nothing, I'm old, I'm useless, and I often have some weird dreams." With that, his hand made a special gesture and motioned for the butler to come forward.

Steward Ma understood, leaned over to Huo Yuan's side, and listened to Huo Yuan say in a very low voice, "I have that dream again...... Only this time it's clearer, and it feels ...... It's going to be sucked in. โ€

Steward Ma smiled and said, "Isn't it just a dream, master, you are so blessed, you are not afraid of being a little evil." But he looked at Huo Yuan's pale and thin face, and said in his heart that this old man might really not live long, and sighed slightly in his heart.

He also said in his heart: The old man's "ability" is "making a wish", and the promise will definitely come true. If he had made a wish when he was dying, it would have put an end to the life he was now fearing about. But the old man can only make a wish once, and I must ask him to make a wish for me. Besides, he owes me a debt in the first place...... Why don't you say that he is in good health, and I am the only one waiting for him to die?

Huo Yuan saw that he was a little distracted, and asked, "Pony, what's wrong?" โ€

The housekeeper came back to his senses and was busy to the point of "It's okay, it's okay." The face that was slightly flushed because of excitement was not seen by Huo Yuan.

Huo Yuan wanted to say something, but he stopped, pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "By the way, have you tried your own ability?" โ€

The butler came back to his senses and said, "Not ...... yet"

In this world, some people have superpowers, which are called "abilities". But it is often accompanied by more than the cost of gains, first manifested in a certain place of the person, and finally caused the person to die violently. And it has been proven that the use of superpowers will increase the "cost", and only the first use - "trial" does not increase the "cost" to know what your "ability" is. And Huo Yuan has only tried it once, and the housekeeper has not successfully used it.

This ability does not seem to be formed naturally, but as if it is a prank of God.

And one thing that only the two of them know is that the housekeeper was "infected" by Huo Yuan with "ability".

When the "ability" is spoken, it will be "contagious", so only the capable person knows his "ability".

Huo Yuan saw that the housekeeper's face was not good, sighed, and didn't ask anything more. "It's almost dawn, let's go to Yangdetang and have a look." The butler said yes and put a fox fur cloak on him.

Walk through a few trails and it's cool outside the night style. Last night was Shangyuan Night, and all the lights of thousands of homes have been extinguished at this moment, as if to say that the night will be bright.

Huo Yuan's long sleeves hung down to the back door of Yangde Hall, as if to say that he was coming.

Steward Ma hurriedly shouted at the little guy to open the door.

The old red door squeaked open, rolling up a lot of dirt on the road. Huo Yuan walked into the backyard and looked at the barrenness, feeling desolate. He didn't make a sound, and paced slowly in the courtyard. The night breeze suddenly cooled and blew on his wrinkled face.

Huo Yuan saw the sunrise: a red patch in the distance, silently poking his head out. But this time, the sight didn't wet his eyes.

How many more sunrises can he see? No tears, more sighs.

The cool breeze suddenly blew again, as if this time it hit people's hearts. Huo Yuan shuddered, and at the same time, there was a heart-piercing pain in his left hand, accompanied by a blur of consciousness that he had never felt before. He stood there for a long time.

The back door of Yangde Hall opened silently, and a person walked out, with a smile on his face, and said softly: "Brother Yuan, your price is ......."

Huo Yuan forced himself to squeeze out a smile: "It's okay, my old bones are tough!" โ€

He scolded in his heart: I understand, you dogs, look forward to my early death, and try your best to let me use the opportunity of dying to fulfill your wishes!

But that's just the way it is. He was remembered by the people of the Quanyang Virtue Hall to realize his own selfish desires. His own life...... Just a joke!

It seems that several more people came out saying the same thing. And he didn't know why he was so dry that he couldn't speak.

At the dawn came, the sky was still dark, and the faces of those men were as black as the night, and then in the night they met with the cold wind, blurred, and then blurred, and gradually became less humanoid, but simply swallowed his heart with darkness and cold.

Huo Yuan had never felt as sleepy as he did todayโ€”what was he living for?

He passed out.

Steward Ma's voice sounded just right: "Master!! โ€
