Chapter 8: Evil Spirits
It was about ten o'clock in the evening, the night was dark and the wind was high, the stars were dim, and from time to time there were a few blue or purple lightning flashes in the sky, and the roaring sound broke the quiet night and added a bit of horror.
In this world, there are sun, moon and stars, but there is no moon. The arrangement of galaxies in the sky also bears no resemblance at all to the astronomy of the earth in Sutum's memory.
Perhaps the world is still relatively primitive, and the energy vibrations between heaven and earth are too violent, and at night, the sky is covered by an invisible force field, and only a little light can be projected. People can only see the shadows of the stars on the ground.
The stars were dim, the supplies that could be illuminated were expensive, and the atmosphere at night was eerie and terrifying, so at night, the city was quiet, and only the cries of some poultry and livestock could be heard.
Sutum, dressed in black, stood tightly wrapped on the roof of his house, his spirit seemed to be integrated with the night.
At this moment, Ba had already fallen asleep, and Sutum was not worried about waking him up.
The reincarnation of the demon gave Sutum all kinds of magical powers, and even on this night when ordinary people may not be able to reach out and lose his fingers, he was able to walk as if it were ordinary daytime.
"The smell of the Majin is in this direction, as long as you go here, you will definitely find clues. ”
Sutum used his demonic power to sense the demon's residual breath, his eyes sparkled, and after a moment, he leaped like a majestic falcon and pounced on the prey in front of him.
As far as the eye can see, conical roofs of varying heights disappear at the feet, with the occasional few houses and a faint light shining on the slightly wealthier families of the city. As for what they were doing with the lights, Sutum had no mind or time to investigate. He felt his light and flexible body running through the night, listening to the wind whirring in his ears, and suddenly, it seemed to smell the smell of flying and freedom.
It was an experience he had never had before.
To be honest, the experience of traveling to Fang Zhou and then becoming half a demon and the heir to a certain family (albeit decaying) gave Sutum a great deal of freshness that he had never experienced before.
Especially after getting acquainted with the identity of the demon, the feeling of being full of power and as if he was in control of everything made him even more obsessed. But when the freshness period is over, after encountering all kinds of troubles, this freshness does not play any role.
The world is primitive, the environment is harsh, the food is poor, the people speak and behave in all kinds of rudeness, and few people are even literate.
In this world, there is no convenient transportation, 24-hour electricity, no Internet, computers, games, novels, movies, etc.
There are no familiar family and friends in this world, and if you really want to talk about it, Ba can only be half of it at most.
In addition to these, Sutum also needs to be constantly guarded against being controlled by the demons in his body**, and he needs to deal with some people who have bad intentions towards the Istny family, as well as the black hand who has just discovered recently, for some reason, to lure the original owner of the body to reincarnate as a demon - this is a deadly job.
Maybe if he's not careful, he won't be able to burp in this life.
As for the demon's immortal body, the endless lifespan, it was not as attractive to him as he imagined. You know, whether it is the previous life or this life, he is a young man who is not very old, and he still has decades to live?
In general, for Sutum, who was once ordinary, ordinary, timid, and unknown, perhaps returning to Earth was his best choice.
It's just that there is an inexplicable unwillingness in his heart after all, which makes him unable to make that decision.
Despite all the cranky thoughts in his head, Sutum did not stop moving, and his body still scurried over the city, as if possessed by superheroes from various comics.
He also doesn't worry about others discovering their presence, and at night there is hardly anyone on the streets. Moreover, the night was dark, and his speed was extremely fast, and when he was discovered, he only thought that a wind was blowing in the air, and he did not pay much attention.
After running over the city for almost half an hour, the remnants of the demon's aura grew heavier and heavier, and Sutum already understood that he was getting closer and closer to his destination.
At this time, the houses gradually became smaller and more dilapidated, and there were no longer any lights, so Sutum had to walk underground. A towering city wall is faintly visible, not far away.
This is to the outer layers of the city.
The aura of the demon suddenly disappeared here, and this was where Sutum was looking.
He didn't know what danger he would encounter in this place, but at this time, he only had a strong desire to find out everything. The long run just now seemed to shake off his distractions.
The breath disappeared in a small stone house, surrounded by a clearing surrounded by a row of wooden barbed fences nearly three meters high to block all visitors.
Sutum glanced around, surveyed carefully for a few more minutes, and found that there were no guards around, so he jumped and landed lightly in the clearing inside.
Moves as nimble as a cat, without the slightest sound.
Immediately, he cautiously pushed open the door of the stone house and slipped inside.
The stone house, as he had assumed, was uninhabited. Inside was a broken bed, as well as several pieces of stone furniture.
There were several clay bowls scattered around the stone table, and there was still a residual smell of wine on them. The smell of the wine is quite fresh, indicating that there were still people in the house not long ago.
Sutum knew that this time he had come to the right place.
Carefully observing the traces in the room, Sutum used the demonic power in his body to raise the six senses to the limit, sensing everything abnormal, and finally found a small cave in a corner.
Beneath the cave is a deep tunnel, leading somewhere.
Without hesitation, he went into the tunnel.
After a few minutes of sneaking through the tunnel, the lights flickered faintly, and then the intermittent sound reached Sutum's ears.
“...... The red light is on it, you monster be careful, break this jar, we will all have to become evil spirits......"
It's a rude middle-aged loud voice.
Then a timid young voice responded, "Boss Anglo, do you really have a way to control evil spirits?"
"Nonsense, didn't you see it, those murderous demons were obediently led away by the adults, speaking of which, if it wasn't for the intervention of that kid from Ugir, that little cub of the Istney family would have been killed a long time ago. Hey, hey, good luck for this kid. ”
"Adults can even control demons, and it's natural that just evil spirits are no problem. Wait for Lao Tzu to learn a way to control this evil spirit and see who dares to make trouble with Lao Tzu. ”
"Hehe, the Anglo boss is really powerful. ”
The young voice complimented, and then the two of them laughed wildly and disgustingly.
"There are only two minions, and their strength is almost as good as the city defenders, which is really weird. These two should know a lot. ”
Sutum's eyes flickered with a cold light, and he walked towards the light like a ghost.
The light is a small and small secret room, about twenty or thirty square meters. Two men in animal skin vests and exposed chest hair sat on a stone bench with a smell of alcohol. One of them was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with messy hair, a face full of flesh, and rock-like muscles covered with wounds from the bite of wild beasts, densely packed with them, as if they were about to fall out of the flesh at any moment, and looked terrifying. On his arm, which seemed to be the thickness of an ordinary person's thigh, he was holding a small and delicate clay pot, which vibrated violently, as if something wanted to come out. That rude voice just now must have been made by him.
The other man was much younger, with an ordinary face and a childish look. Although he was physically strong, he was hooked around his waist and looked a little obscene and cowardly. The young man's two gray eyes stared straight at the clay pot opposite, and he made no secret of his greed.
"Hehe, Danny, don't be in a hurry, when we help the adults complete the task, you will have a chance to get this thing when the time comes." ”
Anglo didn't care about Danny's eyes, but said with some smugness.
At this moment, a low and magnetic male voice came from behind him: "Can you tell me, what is your mission?"
Anglo reacted quickly, hearing a voice completely unfamiliar to him, and jerked forward, wielding the weapon he had placed in the room, turning and stabbing at the comer.
The moment he turned around, he saw the future clearly.
The person who came looked like a young man, wrapped in black, with only a pair of pale brown eyes exposed. These eyes are very clear, and at a glance, people feel a feeling of indifference to everything. Although the man in black is thin, in his middle-aged perception, he exudes a palpitating taste, which is even more terrifying than the "adult" he is loyal to.
Anglo's experience over the years has not only carved scars into his body, but also trained some of his intuition to the point that ordinary people can't reach.
He was as fast as a cheetah, and in an instant, he stabbed the man in black in the chest.
This man in black is naturally Sutum.
Seeing the Anglo attack, a strong excitement rose in his heart, and every cell in his body seemed to be eager to meet the battle.
Although the opponent's movements are fast, they are better than ordinary guards, and compared to Sutum, who has turned into a half-demon, it is more than a step worse.
The Anglo's weapon was a thick spear made from the bones of a wasteland beast, the conical tip of the spear glowing green, but it was highly poisonous. This poison is extremely harmful to all wasteland beasts, not to mention vulnerable humans.
A spear stabbed out, and immediately pierced Sutum's body. Anglo was overjoyed, and immediately felt that something was wrong, he didn't feel the stickiness of the stabbing entity.
"No, it's a phantom. ”
As soon as he reacted, there was a pain in his chest, and Anglo was hit by Sutum's punch, and with a bang, he fell to the ground.
"I'd love to try the Demon Body's recovery and resistance, but it's obviously not now. ”
Sutum looked at the miserable green poisonous spear, and his heart was terrified, and he didn't know what the effect of this poison was.
"Hehe, I didn't expect my combat power to be so strong. ”
Anglo shook his body, got up from the ground, and yelled at Danny next to him: "Monster raised, you don't attack and wait to be killed?"
After saying that, he rushed up again with a spear. Danny also suddenly realized, and similarly picked up a bone hand axe and rushed over in a panic.
Sutum had a strong battle at this time**, plus he had some experience in the first battle, so he deliberately saved a few points of strength, but he also fought happily with the two.
Rao is like this, after several fights, Anglo and Danny were also beaten and their noses were swollen.
Kicked to the ground again, Anglo suddenly sobered up and scolded: "Monster raised, you guy dare to play tricks on us." ”
His empirical wisdom was there, and he immediately understood Sutum's intentions. Thinking that he was being used as a target to improve his combat skills, he was so angry and anxious that his eyes rolled and his spear swept, and he actually swept out the oil lamp in the secret room.
The secret room suddenly stretched out his fingers and lost sight.
Anglo is really not stupid, and even wants to take advantage of the dark environment to defeat Sutum. It's a pity that I miscalculated.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The two were kicked away again, and this time they lost even more.
"This is the ...... you forced me"
An Anglo fierce voice came from the darkness, followed by a "Peng", as if a clay pot had been broken.
Anglo is really a ruthless man, and he has unleashed evil spirits, wanting to die with his enemies.
The temperature in the secret room dropped by more than ten degrees Celsius, making people feel like they had fallen into an ice cellar all at once.
Sutum looked up and saw a translucent shadow floating above the chamber.
It's the evil spirit locked up in the clay pot.
