CHAPTER 4 CHAPTER XXIII
In a partition room in an old wooden house outside the outskirts of Tianfu City
A woman with a pale face who didn't even have the slightest rosy color on her lips lay weakly on the bed, looking to be terminally ill.
Insect Firefly sat on the edge of the wooden bed, and tightly grasped the weak palm of the woman next to her with her slender white and tender little hands. Two crystal clear teardrops slid down her cheeks.
"Mother, I've already found that 10,000-legged white? You see." Worm Firefly tried her best to make herself happy, and slowly spit out the white one about ten feet long from her mouth? Foot.
The mother, who was lying on the bed, smiled softly at the corners of her mouth, and looked at her daughter with kind eyes
"Firefly, I can't last long. Don't bother too much to find that Wanzubai?, be careful...... Cough... Ahem." The woman began to cough violently after saying two words, and black liquid was coughed up from her throat.
"Father, will you let me use the cloud worm to relieve my mother's injuries again?" Insect Hotaru hurriedly wiped away the black water coughed up by her mother with the towel next to her, and whispered to the middle-aged man standing by the windowsill.
"Hotaru, you know that your mother is not a physical lesion, but a mid-level ghost worm. Even if the cloud worm can be treated, if the cloud worm is sent in, it will be eaten directly by the intermediate Baimei worm."
The man did not turn around when he spoke, but his face was full of helplessness and grief when he looked out the window.
"Zhang Chen!" Worm Firefly suddenly trembled in her heart and muttered softly.
"What's wrong. Hotaru?" The mother felt her daughter holding her hand tremble slightly.
"Mother, it's okay. Something suddenly occurred to me just now, so don't worry, just get some rest."
"Did you go to school and have a lot of friends, and there are boys you like?" The mother tried her best to have a chat with her daughter.
"Huh? I have a lot of friends, and everyone is very nice to me. I don't have a boy I like, but there's a boy who is very good." The insect firefly had sensed the faint reaction of the tracer that had stayed at the school, and because of the distance, she couldn't know the details. I couldn't help but feel a little worried about Zhang Chen.
After listening to the narration of the insect firefly, the mother lying on the side obviously understood her daughter who had been cared for since she was a child, but she said that the evil just now was already her full strength, and now she can only smile slightly.
"Firefly, Grandpa asked you to go to him when you came back from school, so let's go over now. Your mother will let me take care of it." The middle-aged man standing at the window pretended to be and said.
"Firefly, don't forget the lessons of our insect family when you enter the school, you must not fully trust others, you can do it yourself."
After listening to his father's words, the insect firefly who got up nodded lightly and walked out of the room.
"This stupid daughter, what would happen if she knew that her mother had been devoured by the ghost worm and entered the soul devouring stage. Even if it will be that ten thousand feet white? Bringing it back and swallowing the soul of that intermediate ghost insect is equivalent to swallowing the soul of your mother. Hey."
The middle-aged man sighed, slowly sat on the edge of the bed, and stroked the cheek of the woman lying on the bed with his palm full of vicissitudes. Said slightly
"Jing, don't worry, I will protect our daughter."
The woman lying on the bed tried to raise the corners of her mouth, and her eyes looked tenderly at the man who had been with her for decades.
…………
The fourth floor of the cafeteria of the No. 5 Middle School under a gray sky
The feminine man in the black cloak sat at the dining table that was cut off by Xiaobai's knife, and next to him lay a girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, it was Xiaomei who was saved by Zhang Chen.
"It's a bit interesting to be able to directly penetrate the space enchantment I attached and kill Mo Dai, it seems that it is really the main soul of the space system, which is really rare."
The man smiled slightly, and suddenly raised his right index finger and tapped it in one direction in the corner of the hall. After a thin gray line circled the air a few times, a small dragonfly-like bug was caught from the place where there was nothing, which was naturally the tracer arranged by the insect firefly in the cafeteria.
"Oh, and the bugs?" The man held the tracer in the wither's hand
"Well, prison envoy, the little snake and a little bug are really interesting. Why do you have to go out to interfere at the last moment when the overall situation has been decided? I might have been worried about you a few years ago."
After the man muttered to himself, the tracer in his hand turned to ashes.
"But this desert Dai is indeed a pity to die, and it should be very good to use this rare species as an appetizer after the fact. But it's better if this arrogant garbage dies, so as not to be taken out and laughed at."
"Hisako, come out." The man muttered softly behind him.
A woman in a kimono slowly appeared, sat back to back behind the man, and muttered softly: "Master, I have always hated this desert dai, but now being killed by those people has helped me breathe a sigh of relief. Can you arrange for me to meet with them?"
The man burst out laughing.
"Haha, it's rare that Hisako has a time when you're interested in people. But you have to do one thing for me first. When that's done, I'll let you play with them."
The woman with her back to the man seemed a little excited, and a few strands of black hair flicked slightly.
"There is a student in the school who thinks he is smart, and he actually investigates a lot of things under my nose, and sees the loopholes in my plan, if he investigates again, I am afraid it will affect the overall situation. So if you look for an opportunity to kill him while he continues to investigate, you will find an opportunity to kill him. ]"
"Someone who can see through the holes in your plan? Is it a prison envoy or a cultivator?" The woman's voice this time came not from the front, but from under the black silky hair on the back of the head.
"It's just an ordinary person, I think this kind of smart guy, you should like it very much."
"Thank you host, I will treat him well."
"But this kind of person who I call 'smart' naturally has its own cleverness, you better find a good time to deal with him, and don't let anything happen. As a reward, I'll give you this girl first, her age and appearance should match your requirements."
"Huh." The woman pressed the pale thin hand of the orchid finger against her lips and smiled slightly, and Xiaomei next to the feminine man slowly floated to the woman's thighs, looking at Xiaomei's flexible skin, the woman nodded happily.
"Master, aren't you of other use for the students in the school?"
"This girl is not from this school, she is of no use to me, you can enjoy it to your heart's content."
The woman grabbed Xiaomei's head with her hand and disappeared directly from the spot.
…………
Zhang Chen, who was lying alone on the bed in the dormitory, used his mental power to levitate the main soul stone he got from the old man on the ceiling and carefully observe.
"As soon as this thing comes within half a meter of me, the main soul in my body will start to be extremely repulsed and start to be irritable. What does that make me study it?"
"I remember that Master Puhu said in the past that all prison envoys will be registered with the headquarters of the local city, and if the body is destroyed, then the headquarters should know immediately and send someone to recover it. But what's the matter with this main soul stone being in the old man's house for so long and no one has come to collect it?"
Zhang Chen thought that the cave in the mountain behind the school and the three prison envoys all died there, as well as the ownerless main soul stone, must be inseparable from this school.
"What if you swallow it? After all, it's supposed to be a kind of ghost thing. Maybe it will increase my abilities." Zhang Chen suddenly thought of his spatial devouring ability, suppressed the sense of repulsion in his body, and gradually moved the round main soul stone to his hand.
There was endless darkness in the crack in the palm of his hand, but when Zhang Chen gritted his teeth and wanted to swallow the main soul stone, black gas similar to the shape of a cat overflowed from the main soul stone and the long red tongue in the crack was entangled.
"Ahh A piercing pain spread from the palm of his hand to Zhang Chen's brain, and the black soul stone was instantly ejected out. The crack in his right palm also closed automatically, leaving a few small black dots in the palm of his hand.
"What's the matter with the main soul stone in my body?" Zhang Chen felt that after that moment just now, the black branch like a blood vessel spreading out of the main soul stone in his left chest seemed to shrink back a little.
"This main soul stone can actually suppress the main soul of my body, which inadvertently made me pick up a treasure. But it really hurts." Zhang Chen gently touched the small black dot on his right palm with his fingertips, and a burning sensation came from the palm of his hand.
"Let's take it for now, Liu Nuo should be able to trust it. Maybe she'll be able to use this to increase my chances of survival."
Zhang Chen climbed out of bed and put the main soul stone that had fallen under the bed back into the lowest level of the wardrobe. When I stretched and was about to take a shower and sleep, suddenly the blood beetle in my left arm began to move.
"That tracer in the cafeteria is dead? How is it possible, didn't the insect firefly say that unless it was a high-level ghost thing, it would be impossible to find it? Could it be that some high-level ghosts have gone there?"
Because the dormitory was in Building 7, next to the cafeteria, Zhang Chen came to the window of the dormitory and observed the fourth floor of the canteen with his eyes. After concentrating and magnifying the field of vision in front of me several times, I didn't see anything unusual in the cafeteria.
"Except for the loss of a little body in tonight's battle, the Yuan Force Light Ball in the brain has basically not been consumed much. Let's go and investigate the situation, in case of danger, it shouldn't be a problem to run for your life." Zhang Chen quickly put on his shoes and headed towards the cafeteria.
"Crunch!" After the door on the fourth floor of the canteen was pushed open by Zhang Chen, a familiar breath came from inside.
"It's that guy, but it's supposed to be gone." Zhang Chen couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, if he ran into that black cloaked man again at this time, he might only have the right to escape, and he didn't know if he could run away.
"However, in addition to the guy's feelings, there is another aura that makes me feel dangerous, the obvious ghost aura. Far more dangerous than all the ghosts I've ever seen, high-level ghosts? How much stuff is behind this school?"
Zhang Chen's back was already cold, and he slowly leaned towards the place where his breath remained.
"In that gray world, this is where the red plate is killed." Zhang Chen looked at the dining table in front of him, and there was a little gray gravel scattered on the ground, which must have been left by the cloaked man.
At this time, Zhang Chen suddenly felt an extremely dangerous aura coming from behind him. It felt like there was a woman standing behind me.
In an instant, Zhang Chen condensed all his telekinesis behind him, forming a dense and sturdy telekinetic protective shield. However, the next second, when he turned around in full armor, there was nothing in front of him.
In the darkness, a woman's head fluttered in Zhang Chen's ear and said softly
"Little brother, thank you for killing that disgusting tentacle monster. However, my sister is busy today, so next time I will find a chance to love you well......"
