Chapter 54: Incursio
When Lingyun walked downstairs, Huang Luo was already waiting for him.
Looking at Huang Luo's appearance, Lingyun could not help but frown slightly; between Huang Luo's brows, a trace of black aura had appeared. This kind of aura usually only appears on people who are suffering from Incursio.
However, Huang Luo had been staying at school during this period. Huaxia University possessed the most elite students in Huaxia, and the entire school was shrouded in the righteous energy radiated by these students. Ordinary demons and evil spirits would suffer great damage to their strength even just by approaching, let alone entering the campus. Under these circumstances, it was truly hard to believe that Huang Luo could be suffering from Incursio.
"Boss, did something happen?" Lingyun asked, frowning as he looked at the haggard-faced Huang Luo before him.
Huang Luo waved his hand: "It's nothing, just some trouble at home. I'm feeling unhappy and wanted to find someone to drink with. Han Yu and Liu Feng are both busy, so I could only come to find you."
Lingyun raised an eyebrow. He and Huang Luo were in the same dormitory, and he knew Huang Luo's personality best. Huang Luo had always been a very optimistic person; why would this situation be happening now?
The two of them quickly found a food stall and ordered food and drinks.
Huang Luo said to the waiter nearby: "Waiter, bring me a crate of beer! Make it quick!"
After the crate of beer was brought over, Huang Luo didn't even use a glass; he grabbed a bottle and drank it all in one go. Putting down the bottle, Huang Luo couldn't help but cough repeatedly, as if he had choked from drinking too fast.
Seeing that Huang Luo was about to grab a second bottle, Lingyun suddenly grabbed his hand: "Boss, chugging alcohol like this is very harmful to your body. If something is wrong, tell your brother here; maybe I have a way to solve it!"
"Fourth, you don't know, but during this time, I've been unlucky to the extreme." Huang Luo, having been stopped from drinking by Lingyun, withdrew his hand and began to pour his heart out to Lingyun. "My best brother betrayed me, and my girlfriend also betrayed me. The two of them are together. You don't know how I felt when I found out about this."
Lingyun stared at Huang Luo for a while, then shook his head: "Boss, such a brother and such a woman are not worth keeping. But this situation alone definitely wouldn't be enough to make you end up like this."
"Of course there's more. Do you know? A while ago, my grandfather was in a car accident and is still lying in the hospital unconscious. My mother also had a car accident a few days ago and is still in the intensive care unit. And my father was beaten by a group of people of unknown origin yesterday and is still in the hospital. My family's company is being targeted and suppressed; previous clients have left one after another, and even the bank has come to collect debts. The entire company is facing bankruptcy. While I was busy and overwhelmed, my brother, along with my girlfriend—my fiancée—came to show off in front of me. You tell me, you tell me, can I feel okay right now?" Huang Luo said to Lingyun with a hint of a sob.
"How could it be such a coincidence?" Lingyun asked with a frown.
Huang Luo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't believe it's a coincidence either, but there are no clues for any of this. I've thought about someone targeting my family, but there is no evidence, absolutely no evidence. You tell me what I can do? I can't even find the enemy to fight back!"
Lingyun glanced at the trace of black aura between Huang Luo's brows and muttered to himself: "That might not be true; they have ways to do it."
"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about those matters of Bad Luck. I came to find you today just to drink. Fourth, after drinking this time today, I might have to take a long leave of absence. I'm going home to find out exactly who dares to target my family. If I find out, I absolutely, absolutely will not spare them!"
"Then you had better be careful. If the other party can use this method to deal with your family's company, they are likely not ordinary people," Lingyun warned.
"Even if they aren't ordinary people, I, Huang Luo, am not made of mud. At the very least, I will tear a piece of flesh off them," a rare look of ruthlessness appeared in Huang Luo's eyes.
"If anything unreasonable happens, you can call me. Maybe I can solve it!" Lingyun said something that sounded somewhat inexplicable to Huang Luo.
During this meal, Huang Luo drank a crate and a half of beer all by himself, to the point where he was staggering as he walked. Lingyun supported him and walked toward the school.
When they reached the side of a road, Huang Luo stood up straight, pointed at a car on the side of the road, and said to Lingyun: "Fourth, that's my car over there. My dad's driver is waiting for me, I can go over there myself." After finishing, he didn't even look at the traffic lights and walked toward where the car was parked.
Lingyun's gaze swept over Huang Luo's brows and he discovered that the wisp of black aura had suddenly expanded, and his heart skipped a beat. At this moment, the traffic light turned red, and a large truck rushed forward at full power. Eerily, Huang Luo seemed not to notice this; according to this trend, the vehicle would crash directly into Huang Luo, and the final result was self-evident.
"Hmph!" A cold shout escaped Lingyun's lips. In front of him, they still wanted to use such petty tricks to kill?
Lingyun stepped forward, grabbed Huang Luo's arm, and yanked him back. At the same time, an invisible wave of Divine Sense emanated from his brow, and a wisp of Divine Sense turned into a sword, piercing directly into the black aura between Huang Luo's brows. A black shadow, invisible to ordinary people, appeared behind Huang Luo, and after letting out a silent roar, it dissipated into the air as if weathered away.
After the black shadow disappeared, a glimmer of clarity returned to Huang Luo's eyes. At this moment, the large truck roared past him, the wind it brought causing his clothes to flap loudly and breaking him out in a cold sweat.
"Fourth, this..." Huang Luo looked at Lingyun with lingering fear; he had truly just walked before the gates of hell. Moreover, upon careful reflection, Huang Luo was horrified to find that he had no idea why he had ignored the red light at the side of the road.
"Don't worry, it's just that some people used some underhanded methods, and I've already helped you solve it," Lingyun patted his shoulder.
His move of Divine Sense Turned into Sword just now not only destroyed the evil spirit attached to Huang Luo but also sent a big gift to the person behind this evil spirit. At least for a short time, that person would be unable to use any methods to deal with Huang Luo.
A middle-aged man quickly ran down from the car Huang Luo had pointed at earlier. The man trotted all the way to Huang Luo's side, carefully looked him up and down, and only after seeing that nothing was wrong with him did he let out a long sigh of relief: "Xiao Luo, you really scared me just now. Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to answer to your father. By the way, who is this?"
Seeing the middle-aged man's gaze fall on Lingyun, Huang Luo took a step forward and said: "Uncle Qian, this is my roommate and also my good buddy, Lingyun."
"Thank you very much this time, little brother Lingyun, but we have things to do now. Next time, I will definitely thank you properly!" Uncle Qian smiled kindly at Lingyun, then said to Huang Luo, "Xiao Luo, it's getting late, we should go back. There are still many things at the company that haven't been dealt with!"
"Mm, Fourth, I'm leaving first," Huang Luo nodded at Lingyun.
Lingyun nodded at him: "Boss, remember what I said at the dinner table just now! I'm leaving first."
"What I said at the dinner table just now?" Huang Luo muttered, watching Lingyun's departing figure, then followed Uncle Qian into the car.
In a villa, the glass bottle in front of a man shrouded in a black robe exploded into fragments with a bang, and at the same time, a mouthful of blood sprayed from the man's mouth.
"Cough, cough, who exactly killed the Ghost Slave I painstakingly cultivated?" A hoarse roar came from the black-robed man.
A fat middle-aged man in front of the black-robed man was startled by the sudden sound, then asked respectfully: "Master Jia, did something happen?"
The black-robed man known as Master Jia coughed a few times and said in a deep voice: "Someone killed my Ghost Slave, causing me to suffer damage to my Origin Qi. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you for a short time."
"That, Master Jia, is that little brat from the Huang Family dead?" the fat man asked.
The black-robed man shook his head: "No, but now, that's the only person left in their family. Don't tell me you can't even deal with a mere kid!"
"Don't worry, Master Jia, I will definitely handle this matter perfectly," the fat man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Then go and do it!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The fat man stood up, bowed to the black-robed man, and quickly left the villa.
