Chapter 9: The Song of the Insects (5)

[Five: Scarab Night]

After Mochizuki left, Zhaohua briefly reported Renus's discovery. He Yanfang didn't seem to know about the matter between Zhuhua, and out of trust and worry about his physical condition, Zhaohua didn't mention that Jean was the owner of the house for the time being.

"Jean just went to deal with it, didn't worry, it will be a result soon. ”

After that, there was a silence, and just when Zhaohua felt embarrassed, He Yanfang spoke again: "Zhaohua, your birthday is in June, right?

"Huh...... Yes. Suddenly asked about his birthday, Zhaohua panicked for some reason.

"Sure enough, Komatsu asked me what to do yesterday in a hurry, you didn't say that everyone didn't pay attention, sorry......" He Yanfang said, opened the drawer and took out a very simple small box, "This is compensation, for you." ”

"It's okay......" Although he is not good at rejecting people, Zhaohua still hesitated and asked, "This...... Valuable, isn't it?"

"No, no, you should understand it as 'useful', take it. ”

“...... Thank you. Because the box was very simple, he took it in fear, and Zhaohua still looked very restrained.

He Yanfang still had that reassuring friendly smile: "Open it to see if you like it or not?"

Zhaohua opened the box, and inside was a colorful beetle pendant, the beetle was quite large, and the color was very bright-

It's definitely a gem! Zhaohua hurriedly raised his head and looked at him in surprise: "...... It's too precious!"

"No, as a Heavenly Punisher, this magic talisman should still be there, take it. ”

"But......" Zhaohua still persistently handed the box back.

"Is it okay to use it as a birthday present and a new student meeting gift? Every child will have a unique gift, and this is for you!" He Yanfang smiled and pushed the box back again, pulling his hand to cover the gift, "Take it!"

"Thank you...... Zhaohua took the pendant with both hands, "It's really beautiful, and it's ...... Feel a strong force attached. ”

"Well, the raw material was sent by a friend, and it is a very high-quality magic ore. It's a sacred defensive magic that works on it," He Yanfang smiled at him, pointing to his heart, "Scarabs, worn near the heart, are said to protect the heart and bring good luck. ”

"Can it also protect the heart from evil spirits?" Zhaohua seemed to understand the intention of this gift, and couldn't help but clench the scarab beetle slightly.

"Zhaohua, protect yourself. ”

"I understand," Zhaohua clenched his fists, "I will survive as Zhang Zhaohua." ”

"That's right. After a moment of silence, He Yanfang slowly spoke again, "Harden has recently ...... How's it going? I didn't lose my temper with you, did I?"

Feeling uneasy at the mention of Harden, Zhaohua lowered his head: "I haven't been visiting him recently...... I guess he doesn't want to see me yet. ”

"His temper has never been so good...... "He Yanfang smiled bitterly, "but he's not bad, don't be afraid of his mouth." ”

Zhaohua laughed: "He usually speaks very directly, which makes people feel very relieved...... At least I think it's good to know what he really likes. ”

"But his personality is also too unstable...... I want to give him the bracelet of the scarab beetle," He Yanfang finished speaking, and smiled bitterly again, "But with my current relationship with him, I'm afraid I can't give it away." ”

"You and him...... What the hell is going on?" Although he was worried that he would be considered nosy, Zhaohua still asked.

The mention of Harden always seemed distressed, and He Yanfang sighed lightly: "You know that I can be regarded as his adoptive father, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"I ......" He Yanfang lowered his eyes, his expression gentle and bitter, "I did something that made him disappointed in me." ”

"Let's talk to Harden more, I think you can understand each other. ”

He Yanfang didn't look confident, but smiled bitterly: "I'll work hard......"

"Mr. He, did you just say that the head of the headquarters is also on his birthday in June?" Although he knew that He Yanfang didn't like to mention that person very much, his tone just now seemed to be very flat, probably ...... May I ask?

"Yes, International Children's Day, June 1. The answer was very indifferent, with a hint of jokes, and it seemed that the relationship was not as bad as Clio and they said.

"Did you send a gift?"

"Yes, a pair of silver candlesticks, I hope he will light the candles in good conscience and not be so annoying. "The joke probably came from Les Misérables?" and they suddenly laughed together.

"You always seem to dislike the head of the headquarters. "Probably the relationship will be like this, right?" Zhaohua smiled slightly.

"Because he's always annoying, self-righteous, arrogant and stubborn, and sometimes naïve......," He Yanfang paused again, "Forget it, it's not good to always talk bad to you about the supreme leader of the Heavenly Punisher, in short, I can't get along with him." ”

While talking and laughing, He Yanfang's face suddenly changed, and his expression became pale and awe-inspiring.

"What's wrong?" Zhaohua couldn't help but look at his face nervously, "Are you uncomfortable?"

His expression looked obviously painful, but He Yanfang shook his head hurriedly: "It's Gu ......."

With that, he hurried out of the room and ran into the courtyard to look around, which made Zhaohua puzzled: "Are you okay?

Zhaohua followed closely, and at this time, He Yanfang turned around and frightened him to take a step back-

Deep-red pupils that shimmer through a fire...... It's the same as when Harden awakened his demonic nature, and he was shockingly charming.

"You don't know yet...... "He Yanfang forced himself to speak, "My true form is not a snake, but a dragon...... It is my instinct to take advantage of the darkness of the human heart and to perceive the darkness of the human heart. Now the evil cult is rioting again, get away from me, I will be one of their main targets!"

How can you say stay away, stay away! Zhaohua shook his head vigorously: "Your current state-"

"Don't worry about me," He Yanfang raised his hand to summon his silver spear, "This 'Void Flash' is the demon-breaking spear forged for me by my senior brother, even if I don't infuse the demon power, it is enough to deal with the army, I will be fine!"

"But it's too reluctant to keep the demonic nature, right?" Zhaohua asked worriedly, at this time they could already see a large number of monsters crashing against the defensive barrier of the house.

"This is an opportunity to find the source of the evil qi, I can't get rid of the demonic ...... yet" It looked like a headache, He Yanfang cheered up, "I feel like it's in the direction of the sanatorium, Harden and they will be in danger......"

"You are the target of Gu art, in short, don't force it first, Senior You Wangyue has already passed, isn't it?" In this kind of time when Gene was not there, Zhaohua was nervous and embarrassed. He was ready for battle, and the atmosphere he was hastily driving could turn into a tearing torrent at any moment.

"Since it's a curse, it's the same wherever I stay......" He Yanfang sighed, "I'm going to the sanatorium, Zhaohua, there's a barrier here, you stay here-"

"Then what's the matter, I'll go with you! Although I can't help anything, I'm also a combat force!" Zhaohua immediately objected, "And I'll be scared by myself, let me go too?"

He Yanfang looked at him and smiled a little distressed: "Then let's go." ”

"Take the scarab bracelet you want to give Harden as well?" Zhaohua still understood Harden's feelings, "He may need your encouragement now." ”

He Yanfang was stunned again, and nodded energetically. Together, they went back to the house to get the scarab bracelet, and then with the help of the force of the wind, they rushed through the door and rushed to the sanatorium.

From the gap between the demons that had been abandoned, Zhaohua could see the blood-colored mountain of swords and swords. Demon kings are always like this, usually majestic, and as soon as the evil aura is released, it is terrifying.

"Don't look back and don't fight, let's go. He Yanfang pointed the cold silver spear forward, and the power of the demon-breaking silver really made the evil retreat in fear.

Looking at the demons who were about to move, Zhaohua couldn't help frowning: "There can't be so many, we have cleared it once, and we have also carried out the spirit purification ceremony......

"The effect of soul purification is not good, there are all demons here who focus on fighting, and there are too few who specialize in soul purification," He Yanfang calmly took him away, "And if you can make Shantong and them just guard the mountain of the mountain so hard, most of them will be mixed up by high-level heraldic masters...... All the monsters have a little bit of the same aura...... Sure enough, there is still an illusionist to assist. ”

Is Illusion Assisted...... Harden also said that it might have been an illusionist who attacked him, so to speak-

"It's coming!" He Yanfang's hurried reminder called his consciousness back, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a large flock of bird demons pounced!

Flaming Owl. Zhaohua raised his hand and cut the bird demon with a sharp wind blade, and the wind veins of the loop could be attacked and defended, and they were invulnerable...... But the other party is different from the past, and after one blow, they are all split in two!

"Don't panic, being fierce is purely the advantage of the wind," He Yanfang didn't immediately remedy him, but calmly comforted him, "Don't rush forward." ”

Is it true that he was in a hurry to evolve the "Thunderstorm"...... Zhaohua himself knows that he has talent and huge magic capacity, and he is very strong, so he uses a huge energy output to seek a quick victory, which can hide his lack of confidence and cowardice in battle.

Unlike most people, he only wants to solve it quickly because he is afraid, and he is such a person. He fixed his mind and dispersed the wind wall into a turbulent current that changed sharply, and the monsters were instantly torn apart and unable to maintain their functions, and were quickly dissipated by the power he attached to the wind.

"That's right, I can judge the strength of my enemy and use my strength reasonably, so that it can last," He Yanfang gave him a soft smile of appreciation in his weakness, "I will always be the target of evil, and I will rely on you next." ”

"Leave it to me!" Zhaohua looked at the sanatorium across the water, and countless ghosts were surging on the other side, like a wild bee colony in a frenzy.

As soon as they stepped onto the bridge, the waves on both sides of the bridge surged, and the fish-shaped monsters in the river swarmed in!

"No problem!" Zhaohua forcefully let the wind veins gather and slash the enemy neatly.

"In addition to illusionists, there are also magicians who can stimulate madness...... He Yanfang looked quite calm, "If the pomp is too big, it will inevitably be exposed, I think I know who is involved...... Now let's get out in one go!"

They took advantage of the wind and ran straight forward, but the violently shaking and shaking bridge deck finally shattered, and a huge water demon emerged from the bridge hole!

It's too big, I'm afraid I'll have to tear it through the middle and smash it again, but there are so many monsters around and under my feet...... There are too many opponents!Zhaohua hates crowding, hates predicaments, and hates anxiety, so it's better to use Thunderstorm?

"Zhaohua, I don't object to you using the thunderstorm," He Yanfang calmly reminded the tip of the spear like a cage frost at the giant beast that fell like a landslide, "It's just that beginners should start from purity, if you want to control the thunderstorm of wind, water, electricity, and darkness, do you already have the consciousness to desperately suppress Musk?"

This...... That's right, if you fail to harness the power, both yourself and He Yanfang will be in danger.

"Go all out, I'll take care of the rest!" Even at this moment, He Yanfang's voice was still calm.

There was no time to hesitate, Zhaohua stepped forward with all his might, and the turbulent wind and current converged and rushed, cutting open the huge water demon at once!

But it's too late! Just as Zhaohua thought so, He Yanfang's strength poured in smoothly—

This is the first time that Zhaohua clearly felt the meaning of this man's "soul shock". The nearly colorless silver spark melted into the wind, surging into a demon-breaking pale silver tide that swept away the frenzied demon tide. Feeling a sense of peace of mind and strength, Zhaohua's flustered heart finally became stable.

"Come, let's go!" Unshaken in the demon array that finally collapsed with strength, He Yanfang pulled him up and ran again, stepping on the water demon's disintegrating body across the bridge and going ashore. Looking from the embankment, the high monsters densely covered the sanatorium, and the red-colored flames burned in it, and it seemed that Mochizuki had already arrived there.

As they approached, there seemed to be another whirlpool in the center of the struggle, illuminated by the flames of battle, and the fierce enemies hidden in the frenzied swamp seemed to be alarmed, and the demons became more and more ferocious.

"He Qing?" Sensing their breath, Mochizuki ran over from the other end of the sanatorium again, clearing the way to greet them with flames.

"Mochizuki, what's going on with the sanatorium?"

"I'm organizing an evacuation, and my spell accuracy is relatively low, so I'm cleaning up the outside," Mochizuki waved his hand and threw out a red flame, and the bird-like flames quickly burst out, "I've already met with the Beth siblings, and they're trying to figure out how to bring Harden out." ”

He Yanfang paused for a moment, obviously showing a cold look: "What is he thinking, can't he come out at this time?"

Sure enough, knowing that Harden's meaning was different, Mochizuki shook his head: "You know how stubborn he is." ”

"What do you want to do in the space where you can't stretch, does he still want to put others in danger?" He Yanfang's voice was vaguely tinged with anger, which made Zhaohua uneasy.

"Leave it to me here, go and bring that kid back!" Mochizuki gently pushed He Yanfang, "I'll wait for you to come out and then clean your soul together, let's go!"

"He won't listen to me," He Yanfang said, still striding forward, "But we have to let him out anyway!" Zhaohua, let's go in!"

That's right...... Zhaohua nodded, clutching the small box of the scarab bracelet.

The situation in the sanatorium was really worse, as soon as they entered the hall, the ceiling collapsed with the chandelier, and a bunch of monsters in the smoke and dust took the opportunity to pounce, and were torn open and thrown away by Zhaohua.

"I saw Rebecca's magnesium, third floor...... What's the matter, this breath-" He Yanfang's calm voice suddenly faltered, and Zhaohua, who was looking at the incandescent light upstairs from the window, then felt something strange-

The field of vision suddenly turned a faint red...... The sense of terror that makes the body and mind feel as heavy as lead is both familiar and strange.

"Harden......" When he suddenly realized what this was, Zhaohua found that his whole body was trembling. Before the words fell, the dark red light suddenly burned and spread grandly -

Feeling the warmth in the fear and trembling that could not move, and when he reacted, he was already in his arms, Zhaohua felt a red-hot explosion slash to his side, and the entire building seemed to be shaking and disintegrating, and thousands of ghosts and wolves howled as if bursting from every crack of the building, and the huge impact penetrated into the bone marrow, making both feet and soul weak.

It's Harden's power...... It would be so frightening to point a force greater than most enemies at your own people, but at least ...... Zhaohua had been protected by He Yanfang in his arms, and the clean breath of silver quickly penetrated through the body temperature, soothing the frightened nerves.

"Are you okay, Mr. He?" Suddenly realizing that He Yanfang had directly suffered the impact, Zhaohua looked up and saw the worried and angry face in the dark red shadow.

"What does he think he's doing?" The dark red pupils flickered in the darkness, and the man who was just as gentle was actually angry in a rare way, "Is this the way to be strong?"

"He's probably too depressed...... "I can't hate anything about Harden, Zhaohua whispered.

"Now everyone in the Demon King Capital, isn't there anyone who is not suppressing pain and uneasiness? Could it be that temporary blindness is already the greatest misfortune here?" He Yanfang opened his arms lightly, and then patted the dust falling on his body, "Excessive superior strength cannot be unrestrained...... The building is no longer working, we retreat to the garden!"

"Harden, they—"

"Trust the judgment of the Beth siblings and Sally, they will come out soon!" Sensing the enemy's wriggling aura, He Yanfang immediately led him through the window and fell into the courtyard.

Harden's refusal to evacuate is probably to solve it, and this is the best chance...... No, in fact, everyone understands that it is just Harden being too aggressive.

The buildings bombarded by the mutant force were already shaking, mixed with the roars, roars, and wails of blazing light...... Where the hell is the stranger of the dead, can't it be over?" Zhaohua tried his best to find the mist of the aura that swam in the chaos of murderous intent, but his attention was repeatedly interrupted by the roaring demons. The more terrifying, mixture of rage and gloom that had been in the air had approached, and he couldn't help but speak softly: "...... Harden. ”

The screams of a thousand demons heralded the arrival of the power master, and the Beth siblings and Selena then broke through the evil breath and walked out of the ruined corridor, behind them, the child with dark eyes still stubbornly stubborn. But almost the moment he appeared, He Yanfang suddenly released his power, and the silver particles that surged like a blizzard swirled up, like a colorless whirlpool-

Gradually, the silver fury of the sharp metal edge of the sword blade tore all the evil things in the heavens and the earth almost instantly, and gradually turned into the outline of the silver python. The huge figure shows a shocking beauty in the ominous and clean.

It's supposed to be the Xenomorph Four, but the overwhelming sense of power surpasses the horror brought by Harden, and in this chaos, all the unease, fear and madness are eliminated, leaving a reassuring silence, which is probably the pure spirit?

You can feel the amazing power and beauty, and the child bathed in the soul-shaking silver snow should be able to calm down...... But Harden, who froze for a moment, just pursed his lips in their direction and turned his head and staggered away, obviously unable to see but must be brave...... No, it's because you can't see it.

Mr. He...... Zhaohua turned around, and the Gu Technique Target who had just completed the purification ritual stood there resolutely, even a man who was so gentle was indeed angry, resisting a deeper expression.

"Harden!" couldn't think much about it, Zhaohua strode after him, taking the scarab that had not been sent out for a long time-

I don't know why it's so urgent, but I do want him to know...... I didn't know what had happened between him and He Yanfang, but ......

Screaming loudly so that you can hear, still calling your name incessantly—

I want you to know that if you still refuse to face each other, then at least, please accept this silent scarab beetle tonight, and feel the silent mind quietly.

——

Preview: "I don't know anything and what qualifications I have to be involved, and you think I'm going to be grateful to you?"

"I ...... That's not what it means......"

That's right, I want to be friends and I want to be forgiven, but tonight it's just for Mr. He and you......

"Don't come near me, I don't need your sympathy! Even if I can't see it, I'm ten million times stronger than you, who deserves your pity!"

It's not like this, I just want you to cheer up, why are your words so shallow at a critical time, how can you convey real emotions, the more you act, the more you are entangled, how can I make you understand under the spider who manipulates the conspiracy?

"I thought I had mustered up the courage to come to see you......"

"You're Li Daoheng's grandson, aren't you? try to see if you're really that strong, blind bird!"

The feet of mud are deep, the closest partner and the strongest opponent in front of you, the more you move, the more you sink, okay, continue to choose your actions-

Next, the spider's intentions.
