Chapter 57: Dead Air in the Room (Second Watch) Ask for diamonds
I know this voice, it is the old man I met when I first entered the town, and he was also helping Ji Ling check his body at that time.
It was this old man who recognized my identity and asked Ji Ling to call my father over, and warned my father in person, asking him not to make the same mistakes back then.
Later, when my father asked me and Yuan Ling to leave, it was a few clan elders of the Ji family who he invited to block our way.
Why did this old man come to me? Could it be that they came to spy on me?
Also, how did this rat controlled by my father just happen to die when he knocked on the door? The rat died so quickly that he didn't even finish his sentence.
Could it be that my father's manipulation of the rat to talk to me was discovered by this old man? Or did my father find out that something was wrong and interrupt the spell in time?
My mind was racing, and I knew that no matter what the case was, this rat that had died violently would not be able to be seen by the other party.
But there was no hiding anywhere in this hotel, and there was not even a drawer on the bedside table. I quickly wrapped the rat in toilet paper and put it in the trash, and threw a lot of paper balls on it, pretending that it was a runny nose and a cold.
When everything was done, I pretended to be sluggish, walked to the door and opened it.
Ji Hezheng, the old man, stood at the door and waited a little anxiously. It was only when he saw my languishing appearance that he was relieved, and when he entered the house and saw the trash can and a few paper balls (a disguise I had deliberately made) that had fallen outside, his face suddenly became a little strange.
He coughed and said, "It's good that young people have more energy. Doing this kind of thing once in a while can indeed relieve stress, but you still have to pay attention to moderation, and don't wait until you are old to know that you are at a loss. ”
I was stunned for a few seconds before I realized what he meant, and suddenly 10,000 alpacas rushed past me - I didn't do that, okay?! I'm trying to cover up that mouse......
Well, I can't say anything about the rats, I can't explain it anyway, and my reputation is completely finished.
But after thinking about it, the other party seems to be very experienced, and only when he is old does he know that he has suffered a loss, which is an experience that only has suffered a loss.
I looked at the old man with a strange expression, and the old man also noticed something, and his face couldn't help twitching, obviously a little embarrassed.
I hurriedly beckoned the old man to sit down to ease the awkward atmosphere, and just like that, we were two plumbers, one old and one young...... Ah no, it was an old man and a young man who sat down and began to talk.
"Uncle, what are you looking for me?" I'm polite.
"I am indeed your grandfather according to my generation, but I am not your uncle, you can call me Hezheng Ye. Actually, I came to you this time mainly to talk to you about this mark on your arm. ”
Hearing the conversation about the mark on my arm, I immediately sat up straight, the biggest crisis I am facing now is this mark, as long as the information related to the mark, whether it is true or not, I cannot let go.
The old man Hezheng pondered for a while, sorted out his words slightly, and then spoke: "You must have asked for help from many people before you came, and someone must have told you that this flower mark on the other side is to control the soul, you know?" ”
"Yes."
"This mark is indeed a soul control, but those people in the outside world don't know the situation in detail, they don't have a detailed record of the flower mark on the other side, and they don't know the origin of all this."
"Is there any secret behind this?" I felt goosebumps all over my body.
The old man looked at me solemnly, and paused for more than ten seconds before he spoke: "Ji Zang, I know that you have resistance to me and the elders of the family, and you even hate your father, but what I am going to say next." I hope you can keep it in mind, this is related to the fate of everyone. ”
"Okay." What else can I do at this time besides nodding.
The story that the old man Hezheng told me, the general plot can corroborate each other with what my father said, but probably because of the different positions, the plot has a slight deviation, and he also hides a lot of content.
According to Hezheng, my mother's family itself is very evil, they worship evil gods, in order to frame the Ji family, they designed a series of traps to let my father fall into the trap, and my father is a person who is affectionate, so he accidentally fell for it.
The drastic changes of the Ji family are naturally also talked about, but in the mouth of the old man Hezheng, his mother is the culprit of everything, if it weren't for her, the Ji family would not have suffered heavy losses.
Moreover, even if the Ji family is hidden in the current enchantment, the other family will not be able to attack. They still have a back hand, and that's me.
Old man Hezheng told me that the evil family that my mother belonged to was originally known for all kinds of evil spells, and the Flower Mark of the Other Shore was also one of the spells they mastered. They can use this flower sigil to make a person absorb a large number of souls, and after being sacrificed, they can summon their evil gods and occupy the body of this person. And then there is a mass slaughter in the human world.
"So, Ji Zang, I didn't come to you for me alone, nor for the Ji family. But for the sake of the common people in the world, your father was bewitched by the demon girl, and after so many years, he still hasn't come out, and I know that he still misses the demon girl. But what is the actual situation? When the old man said this, his face turned a little red because of his anger.
I didn't answer, I could understand the old man's position, but it was my own mother after all. He said a demon girl in his mouth, how could I feel comfortable?
As for the people in the world, I'm just an ordinary person, my small body can't bear such a heavy burden, don't look for me for this kind of thing. Even if you look for me, I can't take care of it.
The old man continued excitedly: "The actual situation is that even after so many years, they will not even let you go, an innocent child, and actually put a mark on your arm again. I want to summon evil gods through you, you say, do these people still have a conscience? ”
I couldn't help but feel a stir: this mark was made by the side of my mother's family? Isn't it the work of the Ghouls?
Is this honest old man's words credible or not? Some of his words are true. How many points are fake?
The old man Hezheng probably saw that I was a little absent-minded, so he continued: "Ji Zang, I know that you grew up in an ordinary family, and you don't understand the responsibilities and missions of the Ji family at all, I don't blame you for not being willing to take on such a responsibility, but the mark on your arm is really not fun, if you can't remove it, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"Master He, I also want to remove this mark. I don't want to. "I mean it.
Whether it's a corpse demon or an evil god, it must occupy my body, so I don't want my soul to be wiped out and become a puppet.
"If you're willing to cooperate, it's not easy to remove this mark. Now that sigil and those absorbed souls are entangled with your soul, if you do do perform the ritual, you have to completely let go of your mind, so that we can do it with our hands and feet. ”
This......
I hesitated. I don't know if I should say yes or not, although I don't know how to do magic, but the soul is a thing that knows that it is very precise, and it is a ritual on the soul, if I let go of my heart. It means giving up all resistance and letting others slaughter them.
And my father also told me that he was worried that the clan elder of the Ji family would not be good for me, if I did what the old man Hezheng said, if any clan elder moved his crooked mind, wouldn't I die and lose my soul?
Thinking of my father, I suddenly remembered that I had made an agreement with my father that I would flee at twelve o'clock tonight, and on the question of whether to believe in my father or the old man Hezheng, the answer was actually very simple, I must choose to believe in my father, and I had no reason to believe in an outsider.
Since you're going to run away tonight, there's nothing to hesitate about. Won't you get it if you promise this old man? I'm not going to stay for the ceremony anyway, and we're finally going to have a chance to experience this kind of thing.
So, after pretending to think about it very solemnly, I nodded: "He Zhengye." I listen to you, and when the ceremony comes, I will open my heart and cooperate well. ”
The old face of the old man Hezheng suddenly turned into a flower, he stretched out his hand and patted me on the shoulder and said: "Good boy, I know that none of the descendants of the Ji family have a bad seed, and after helping you remove this mark, Hezheng Ye will teach you the skills, and I will pass on the secret methods of the Ji family to you, and when the time comes, I will ask the Great Elder to make an exception." ”
Even though I knew that this was impossible, my heart still couldn't help but warm.
After the matter was finished, the old man Hezheng was also about to get up and say goodbye, but when he stood up, he suddenly snorted: "Strange, why is there a dead air in the room?" ”
