Chapter 51

"..."

On the sofa next to him, the short-haired dry old man wearing a vest and big shorts heard this, couldn't help shaking his head, just preparing to persuade her not to scare the guests, but his brows couldn't help but frown.

His nose twitched, sniffing.

"Wait a minute, pay attention to politeness when people come, Xiao Tong." Old Zhangtou advised earnestly: "Don't look around with your abilities as soon as you meet."

"Oh, rest assured, rest assured, I have the most integrity!"

Tong Hua patted her chest without thinking, full of sincerity... but in fact, those who know her believe her only if they have ghosts.

Old Zhang sighed, shook his head slightly, and picked up the teapot. As the saying goes, good words are hard to persuade the little ghost who should die. The child is still young, and she has to suffer more losses to see the world.

He played with the two iron walnuts in his hands and said nothing more.

Until the elevator slowly rose.

Vaguely Xiao An's voice.

"Here, here."

Tong Hua's eyes lit up, launching the exclusive skill of 'Detective'—Ether Eye, rubbing her little hands, concentrating on watching: "Let me see—"

Then, at that moment, she froze on the spot.

Could no longer make a sound.

It was as if, in an instant, she fell into hell.

All light dimmed in the observation of the Ether Eye, and matter seemed to fade away at some point, leaving only mottled. Even the sunlight outside the window seemed to lose its temperature.

Like falling into an ice cellar!

The terrifying sound of blood tide exploded in her ears, with countless tragic screams and wails.

Nothing could be seen clearly, the world was blurry, the only thing she could see, in the elevator door crack that slowly opened, viscous blood flowed silently, gradually permeated, rose, rushed, sprayed out, and completely swallowed her.

"Wait, wait—"

Tong Hua's expression froze on her face.

Her face gradually turned pale.

Is there something wrong somewhere?

How come it seems...

By accident, I saw something I shouldn't have seen.

In the rushing blood color, there seemed to be a blurry outline, slowly walking out of the darkness, looking around, the indescribable shadow that kept changing slowly squirmed, inch by inch, approaching her.

A little, and a little.

Making her smile unable to be maintained, twitching, gradually terrified.

The performance she was familiar with had already been forgotten in the sudden fear, leaving only the only thought:

Xi, c, can we reconcile?

Countless twisted faces emerged from the blood color, as if dissolved, overlapping, merging, slowly extending tentacles that squirmed, lightly brushing past her eyes, as if noticing something.

Then, one after another, hollow eyes emerged from the blood color, looking down at her. Countless dissolved twisted faces grinned, leaned close, opened and closed in the wailing, and issued a resentful curse at her.

To be forever engraved in her memory and soul!

"▇▇——"

"Yi! Wen, Wen... Sister Wen save me!!!"

Tong Hua retreated in terror, couldn't help but scream: "Save, save me ah ah ah ah!!!"

"I'll go..."

Ji Jue was so scared that he retreated two steps, stunned. He saw a pale face with no blood on it as soon as he got out of the elevator, staring at him dead. He was also startled, thinking that a female ghost had come to claim his life.

As a result, after finally gathering the courage to ask "hello", just wanted to shake hands... how come the other party was more afraid than himself, turned around and ran?

Shouldn't I be the one screaming?!

Wait, did I get bullied by the office before I even got the job?

But seeing Xiao An seemed to be used to it, he couldn't be sure what was going on, and poked his head out with some hesitation, looking at the old man who was calmly playing with walnuts on the sofa: "Excuse me, is this the Security Bureau Beishan District office..."

"Yes, that's right."

Old Zhang played with walnuts, nodded with a smile, and waved enthusiastically: "You are Xiao Ji, right? Oh, it's been a long time since guests came, welcome, welcome, sit down!

Do you eat melon seeds? Have some fruit too!"

As he spoke, fruit plates, melon seeds, peanuts, soft candies, chocolates, and other items were laid out from under the coffee table like magic. Before he could react, there was an extra cup of tea in front of Ji Jue.

And opposite, the old man who had finished brewing a pot of kung fu tea at a flowing speed had already made a gesture to invite tea.

No, what the hell, I'm not here to pay a New Year's call!

Also, the woman who just ran away screaming...

"She..."

"It's okay, don't take it to heart. She stayed up late watching horror movies and scared herself."

Old Zhang picked up his teacup, sipped twice, and didn't care.

Anyway, Tong Hua dug a hole to bury herself, he was used to it, and it wasn't the first time.

Most of the Heaven-Chosen on the Ether Road have this problem, gossiping to death, addicted to melons, wanting to see everything, liking to see everything, and daring to see everything.

Finally, watching and watching, unknowingly, she watched herself to death.

Now she just watched a Ji Jue, what a big deal, when did she have the guts to watch even the Upper Goodness Weaving and the Nine Sin-Tainted Limbs, that's called an accident.

Just learn a lesson.

It's just that, on the back of the hand holding the teacup, goosebumps couldn't help but rise, and the hair stood up.

The blessing 【True Eye】, 【Super Sense】 of the Vortex and the blessing 【Know Enemy】 of the White Deer combined to form the higher-level blessing 【Pure View】, which can perceive the essence of all intruders within a hundred meters in a normal state.

The signals brought by superhuman perception are constantly stimulating his consciousness, describing the threats and terrors in front of him.

Completely irrelevant to Ji Jue!

It is something else, some kind of, more hidden and terrifying thing.

Clearly, he just looks like an ordinary handsome teenager, but when he exerts his perception and concentrates on experiencing it, he can feel... some kind of existence entangled and attached to him.

—That huge aggregate formed by pure pain and despair!

Under the peeping and stimulation of Tong Hua's undisguised Ether Eye, they seemed to be awakened from sleep, fully excited, and furious!

In the phantom-like perception, viscous scarlet colors constantly rose from Ji Jue's body, and weird hollow faces faintly appeared in them, hungry and ferocious.

And when they gathered together, they outlined a changeable and weird outline.

Like a dragon head, indifferently looking down!

Choosing people and devouring them.

This is really... incredible.

Stared at by that pair of void eyes, Old Zhang's movements also stagnated for a moment, then, raised his hand to lift the cup, swallowed the tea into his abdomen, turned a blind eye, and still smiled and entertained the teenager in front of him.

Until, the scarlet and blood color dissipated, and the infinite despair and pain contracted again, returning to Ji Jue's body, and everything returned to normal.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Old Zhang breathed a sigh of relief silently.

Such a huge sign of sin-tainted change, isn't it, a bit too exaggerated?

I haven't seen a cursed person, but not many can reach one-tenth, or even one-hundredth of Ji Jue's degree. Even counting all the spiritual quality pollution residues remaining in the Vortex Planting Technique before, it is too outrageous.

But, clearly it is the resentment and curses left by countless people before they died, why would they... protect him?

He shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about it.

"Come, come, eat melon, eat melon!" He picked up the fruit plate and entertained enthusiastically: "The watermelon that Xiao Tong specially bought today, just taken out of the refrigerator, eat it while it's cold."

And Ji Jue was completely numb.

Looking around, and looking at the lineup of the Beishan District in front of him, he couldn't help but gasp—an old man, a patient, and a disabled person?

He suddenly had a heartfelt sense of belonging!

If you add yourself, this weak chicken, wouldn't you be able to make up a four-person team of old, weak, sick, and disabled?

This is too correct!

It's a proper team that does big things in the movie, at least saving the world is not a problem!

It is said that now on the Empire side, the team must have fat people, homosexuals, and transgender people to be called sound. I don't know what kind of powerful team it takes to gather such a shocking lineup!

Of course, that's how it's said, you are definitely weak, but whether others are old, sick, and disabled is not necessarily the case.

Not to mention An Ran, whom he couldn't see clearly from beginning to end, even the dry old man in front of him, the pair of iron walnuts in his hand were about to collapse sparks.

Look at the material, felt the weight with his shallow alchemy attainments, Ji Jue nodded, this hand strength, crushing one or two of his heads is simply easier than beating eggs?!

"Wow, you kid finally came?"

Inside, in the direction of the office, Wen Wen finally walked out, carrying full, holding two small boxes in her left hand, and carrying Tong Hua like a little chicken in her right hand.

"Sorry, my little sister likes to look around, joking with you, don't mind."

As she spoke, she threw Tong Hua, who was carried, to the front, and slapped her dog head angrily: "Apologize!"

"So, sorry." Tong Hua lowered her head, trembling, holding Wen Wen's hand and refusing to let go: "Big brother, let me go, I'm still young..."

What the hell?

Ji Jue was stunned, but looking at them sticking together happily, he felt that he had also become a part of some PLAY, so strange!

"Nothing, just treat it as if she had a convulsion."

Wen Wen threw her hand and sat down mercilessly, then handed the two boxes in her hand over: "Here, your spoils, I've been waiting for you to come and get them since I finished cleaning up last time."

"Ah?"

Ji Jue felt that since he entered the door, his mouth hadn't closed.

Inexplicably, he was assigned equipment?

I didn't do anything!

But why does this beautifully decorated small box look so much like someone's eternal home?

After opening it, he found... it seems it really is!

These are two bone ash boxes!

One still has some iron filings scattered inside, one only has a few broken crystals... but undoubtedly, it can't change the essence of its bone ash box!

"What the hell is this?!"

"Hmm? The two Heaven-Chosen you killed last time." Wen Wen replied: "I checked, one is called Ming Yan, one is called Bai Yi, both hung a pile of wanted orders, and neither is a good thing. They didn't make contributions when they were alive, so just use them as waste after they die."

The bone ash of the Heaven-Chosen, in a sense, is really an incredible material.

Ming Yan's remains can be used to replace certain items of the Wilderness Path, significantly enhancing the material properties and sturdiness of the material. And Bai Yi's fragments are clearly condensed from pure shadow spiritual quality, which may be the residue of that shadow beast...

Ji Jue was worried that there was no way to strengthen the materials for little Niu Ma.

Anyway, with the brutality of dragon blood, eating anything is not afraid of not being able to digest it.

It's just that, killing people, and feeding the bone ash to his own Niu Ma, is it a bit too crazy?

It's really miserable, some people are turned into materials after they die, and some people are already targeted when they are alive...

Thinking of his identity, Ji Jue couldn't help but feel sad.

If one day, Sister Wen suddenly called him into the office after work and said to him: "You don't want your identity as a Heaven-Chosen Summoner to be exposed, right?"

Besides dropping little pearls and accepting the unspoken rules, he really had no other way.

"What are you thinking?"

Wen Wen frowned, glancing at this guy's absent-minded look, and reminded: "Drool is falling down."

"No, no, no, nothing." Ji Jue shook his head and sighed: "Just sighing that the adult world is really terrible, um, terrible. When boys go out, they must learn to protect themselves."

"Indeed, calling you here today is also part of the reason..."

"Hmm?!"

Ji Jue was instantly alert.

Good guy, big sister, you finally don't pretend to be a gentleman?

Since that's the case, then myself... should I obey a little? Or should I resist stubbornly, preferring death to surrender, and look more interesting?

Just when Ji Jue's thoughts were sliding frantically, he saw Wen Wen pat the old man's shoulder and wave: "Come, Lao Zhang, the next is handed to you, don't scare him."

"Rest assured, hand it to me."

The dry old man grinned and showed a smile at him: "Don't be afraid, I have very rich experience."

"Hmm?!"

Ji Jue stared wide-eyed in shock, subconsciously shaking his head frantically, waving his hands, and refusing solemnly: "No, no, this is not okay, this is really not okay! Playing too big!"

"What the hell are you thinking!"

Wen Wen was furious, slapped his forehead, almost knocking his dog head off: "Today is to let Lao Zhang train you, let you learn some self-protection skills and the basis of spiritual quality strengthening!

Your kid's brain fell into the ditch again, right?!"

"Ah? Oh oh oh, oh~"

Ji Jue covered his head, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Say it earlier, I thought..."

"What did you think?"

Wen Wen's smile gradually became kind, raised her hand, her slender five fingers clenched, the sound of bone friction was as crisp as crystal shattering, and faint crystal light appeared from her fist, turning into sharp spikes.

"Why don't I come personally."

She lifted Ji Jue's collar, smiled brightly, and squeezed the sound from her teeth: "Rest assured, it will definitely make you impressed, I guarantee."

Asking for a monthly ticket for the reading theme, woo woo woo woo
