Chapter Seventy-Two: There's Something in the House

It can be seen that although Wu Nanzhi is a child who doesn't like to talk much, if you talk to him about topics he is interested in, he may show an unusual side.

The things that Judy told Wu Nanzhi had become a consensus in the psychic world, and although no one had tried these so-called formations for sealing demons, there were enough theories to demonstrate the effect of these formations.

Wu Nanzhi looked at Judy with excitement on his face, and continued to ask, "Is there any other way to kill demons?" ”

"Kill the demons?" Hearing Wu Nanzhi ask, Judy smiled bitterly, and said in her heart that it would be good if there was really a way to kill demons, "I haven't found a way to kill demons yet, but if you have to ask, then I know a way to effectively prevent demons and various evil spirits." ”

"What's what?" Wu Nanzhi's appetite suddenly made Judy hang up, and asked anxiously.

Judy smiled slightly, raised her finger to the seasoning box in the kitchen, and said, "Salt, the salt we usually eat." ”

In the perception of Western religions, salt gives people strength, and the tiny grains of salt contain the power of light, and also have the ability to resist demons and evil spirits, although they cannot directly kill demons, but they will make demons afraid of the power of light and stop moving.

Because of this, some people living near cemeteries sprinkle salt in front of their homes and windows before going to bed to ward off evil spirits at night.

This perception is not limited to Western religions, but also among Japanese onmyoji, and it is also said that salt is used to ward off demons.

However, Wu Nanzhi wanted to continue to discuss with Judy, but was dragged by Chu Mian's voice of "It's time to eat".

There is a restaurant on the first floor of Duan Penghao's house, with a large square table in the middle, which can barely seat eight people, so it is more than enough to entertain Jun Chengzong and Judy.

During the meal, Duan Penghao sat at the table and said to the three children beside him: "Your Uncle Jun is a psychology research scholar who has returned from studying abroad, and you must also work hard and keep up with your Uncle Jun in the future, understand?" ”

"Yes." The three children agreed together, but for them, compared to studying abroad, it was the steak on the plate that fascinated them.

Duan Penghao looked at the three children who were only thinking about eating, smiled apologetically at Jun Chengzong and Judy beside him, and then beckoned Jun Chengzong to eat.

"Nanzhi, I apologize to you for those words last night," Duan Penghao suddenly put down the cutlery in his hand and said to Wu Nanzhi, who was eating with his head down, during the dinner break.

Wu Nanzhi obviously froze for a while, but then as if he hadn't heard, he continued to eat with his head down, looking like he hadn't eaten for a long time.

Duan Penghao couldn't help but sigh when he saw Wu Nanzhi's appearance, he was a psychiatrist himself, so he naturally understood how much psychological trauma some words could cause to children.

Duan Penghao continued: "It was I who was too impulsive last night, and there are many things that should not be said, I hope you can forgive me and forgive Dad." ”

At this time, Jun Chengzong also stopped the movements in his hand, looked at Duan Penghao opposite, and did not say a word.

"It's okay, Dad." Wu Nanzhi raised his head and said this, and then continued to lower his head and eat the things on the plate.

Hearing Wu Nanzhi say this, the expression on Duan Penghao's face was a little relaxed.

Jun Chengzong looked at Duan Penghao, and then at Wu Nanzhi, who was bored and only cared about eating, and asked softly, "Did something happen?" ”

At this time, Judy also stopped the movements in her hand and looked at Duan Penghao.

Duan Penghao smiled a little embarrassedly and explained: "Something happened last night, Xiaoyue ran to a broken house by Qianlu Lake for some reason, and was almost injured. ”

"Xiaoyue?" Jun Chengzong glanced at Xiaoyue on the other side who was wearing sunglasses even when he was eating.

Jun Chengzong had been chatting with Duan Penghao and Xiaoyue in the living room just now, he knew very well that Xiaoyue was a child who was born blind, and it was difficult for normal people to walk in the forest at night, how could a child who couldn't see the road run so far by himself?

There is a saying that if something goes wrong, there will be a demon.

Duan Penghao obviously didn't want to continue talking about this topic, shook his head lightly with a smile, and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this matter, as long as the children grow up healthily, I don't have any worries." ”

Jun Chengzong wisely did not continue to ask, but turned his head and glanced at Judy, seeing the doubts in each other's eyes.

After eating, Jun Chengzong and Judy prepared to say goodbye and asked Duan Penghao about the situation nearby.

But Duan Penghao just sent them to the door and advised, "At night, there are often people on the side of Qianlu Lake who hear the sound of wild beasts licking water, if you still want to continue to look for that person here, then it is best to come during the day." ”

"The forest at night is definitely different from the forest during the day."

Jun Chengzong thanked Duan Basil and drove away from the forest hut.

However, after Jun Chengzong drove the car away, he stopped on the side of the road and turned off the headlights at the same time.

Jun Chengzong and Judy sat in the car, looking at the forest hut with lights still on in the distance.

After a while, Judy looked at the cabin in the forest and asked Jun Chengzong, "George, do you feel it?" ”

"Hmm," Jun Chengzong touched the dice on his wrist, feeling the coldness coming from the dice, "There is a demon's breath in that house, a very powerful demon." ”

Judy flipped through Gaunt's notebook, flipped to the post-it note with the coordinates on the last page, and said slowly, "But Gaunt doesn't seem to be here." ”

Jun Chengzong didn't say anything, he also found out.

They seem to have been wrong from the start, and the meaning behind this coordinate is not where Gaunt is going, but the demon in the cabin in the woods.

"Let's go, since Gaunt isn't here, there's no point in us staying here." Judy flipped through Gaunt's notes and said to Jun Chengzong, who was lying on the steering wheel.

"What do you mean?" Jun Chengzong sat up straight all of a sudden, looking at Judy in disbelief, "Could it be that we just let the demons be in their house like this?" ”

"Hey! George, listen to me," Judy said, looking away from her notes and turning to Jun Chengzong, "our immediate priority now is to find Gaunt, and we are running out of time with less than half a year to go until Christmas. ”

Jun Chengzong still looked at Judy in disbelief: "Then you mean that we are going to watch them die here?" ”

"They don't have to die, George." Judy shook her head, "We find Gaunt as soon as possible, and we will save thousands of people like them." ”

"It's different!" Jun Chengzong slapped the steering wheel suddenly, "I don't want to talk about saving the world, they are all human beings, they are all living people!" ”

Judy looked at Jun Chengzong and shook her head gently.

The man in front of him really hasn't changed at all, he is still so stubborn.

"So what do you want to do now? Go tell them there's a demon in the house? Judy asked helplessly.

"No," Jun Chengzong turned on the headlights, turned the car around, and drove towards Qianlu Lake, "Let's go see the broken house by the lake." ”
