Chapter 3034: Green Dawn

~9 min read 1,630 words

The hotel door was pushed open by Amu, and Baha on its shoulder said: "Boss, the person is here."

A man around 30 years old, clean-shaven, with some dark circles under his eyes, walked into the room. He wore a woolen coat with a pure gold button at the collar, and his brown leather boots were shiny.

At a glance, this was a wealthy gentleman, but the corner of his shirt was washed white. Although he tried his best to maintain decency, his complexion showed he was malnourished, like a down-and-out aristocrat.

After closing the door, the noise on the street was blocked, and the visitor seemed to breathe a sigh of relief secretly.

The visitor quietly sized up Su Xiao, with fear and worry in his eyes, and more vigilance. In order to maintain his last decency, he smiled and nodded at Su Xiao.

"Mr. Bai Ye, I am Morilan. It's inconvenient to reveal my surname, fearing being hunted by enemies. Please forgive me."

Morilan sat down. Although he tried his best to cover it up, it could be seen that for the sumptuous food and tea prepared by Su Xiao, he felt some joy in his heart. Due to his pride, he didn't take the dinner fork on the table.

"Don't be restrained."

Su Xiao lit a cigarette, and Baha also signaled Morilan not to be polite.

Morilan hesitated for a little while. His favor for Su Xiao and the others in his heart increased a lot. Although the influence brought by the charm attribute hadn't been wiped out, Morilan was no longer prepared to jump out of the window and flee at any time.

Morilan ate very gently, but the speed was not slow. In a while, only soup remained on the table. Using a piece of white bread to wipe up the last bit of soup and eat it, Morilan endured not burping. The last time he ate his fill was five months ago, eating roasted potatoes.

After eating and drinking his fill, Morilan's spirit was full.

"Mr. Bai Ye, I have already received the deposit for the gemstone."

"Hmm?"

Su Xiao looked at Bennie on the side. Bennie spread its paws, indicating that it hadn't paid the crystal fat yet. This person named Morilan, although down-and-out, had backbone.

"For a down-and-out guy like me, preparing a meal for me is already respect. This is the deposit I want."

Morilan took a sip of light tea, slowly exhaling heat, and said: "Mr. Bai Ye, may I ask a presumptuous question? Are you a person with supernatural power?"

"Yes."

"Then, how powerful are you?"

In Morilan's eyes was undisguised expectation, and hatred?

"..."

"Is that so."

Finding that Su Xiao didn't answer directly, Morilan estimated in his heart that Su Xiao should be very powerful. He was good at judging people. This was a skill passed down by his grandfather. The less one randomly displayed their own ability, the more unfathomable they were.

"It's like this, Mr. Bai Ye. That gemstone is a disaster for me. It's too precious. I don't have the ability to possess it. In my hands, it has no value."

Morilan began to narrate his story. This story was very simple. His family once operated a supernatural gemstone business. Because 'Dank City' was protected by the Kodo School, they didn't worry too much about being looted. Moreover, his family's profit share was not high, with a net income of only one-tenth, while the remaining two-tenths were paid to the Lame Gang, and seven-tenths were paid as taxes to the Kodo School.

Even with only one-tenth left, Morilan's family was still wealthy. After becoming wealthy, they naturally started thinking about mastering supernatural power.

Morilan's grandfather first bought an old house in the Old King City, and then prepared to collect supernatural knowledge. It was easier to contact supernatural power in the Old King City, which was different from 'Dank City' controlled by the Kodo School. As long as you were bold enough, no one would care how you sought death.

According to the normal story plot, Morilan's grandfather should be seeking death through supernatural knowledge, and then bringing disaster to the family.

In reality, Morilan's grandfather didn't even have the chance to proceed to that step. After buying the old house located in the 'Old King City', he brought disaster to the family.

Morilan's grandfather went crazy. Not corrupted, but crazy. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any mental illness patients in this world. Corruption could 'prevent' this aspect. As long as there was a problem with the spirit, they would be corrupted in the first time.

After Morilan's grandfather went crazy, bad luck descended on this family. First, Morilan's cousin drowned in a water basin while washing his face. After that, his grandmother couldn't accept this fact, was corrupted, and killed Morilan's father and mother.

This was not the end. Morilan's wife suddenly became pregnant one day. This was the only dawn in the bad luck, but Morilan felt that this dawn was green and had always been shining on his head.

When Morilan was newly married, he felt his wife was very beautiful, but after marriage, he found that this was an arrogant woman. Under that beautiful appearance were rude words and deeds.

Morilan hadn't touched his wife for nearly a year at that time. The two were in a cold war. He couldn't bear the arrogance and inner rudeness of his wife, and his wife couldn't bear some of his quirks.

His wife suddenly became pregnant. Morilan was like a bolt from the blue. At that time, his always arrogant wife actually begged Morilan to believe her. She indeed didn't love her husband, but the arrogance in her heart didn't allow her to betray.

Morilan immediately scolded her, scolding that slut who was full of lies but having fun with other men behind his back. Although he also had faults, betrayal couldn't be covered up by anything.

Early the next morning, Morilan saw a letter left on the bedside table by his wife. In this letter, his wife only left a few words, saying that she had never betrayed him, and what she was nurturing was a monster.

Morilan softened his heart. The emotion he had for his wife in his heart was very complicated. At that time, he began to hesitate: should he choose to forgive her? Having been in a cold war for more than a year, his wife was also a human. How could she not do some impulsive things when she was lonely?

Morilan decided immediately to choose to forgive her. This was his last relative.

When Morilan pushed open the bedroom door, the scene before him made him dizzy, his bladder painful, his throat dry, and his scalp tingling.

The scene before him was like purgatory. There were bloodstains everywhere. Opposite him was his wife sitting on a chair. His wife was still alive, holding a sharp kitchen knife in her hand, cutting her own arm.

After seeing this scene, Morilan smelled the urine smell mixed in the blood smell. He was so scared that he peed his pants.

Vaguely, Morilan heard his wife calling for help, roughly meaning that something was drilling in her body, and she wanted to find that thing.

Morilan's wife died of excessive blood loss. For this result, Morilan, who was already numb, didn't make any reaction. But when dealing with his wife's corpse, the monster that broke out from his wife's abdomen completely shattered Morilan's psychological defense line.

Morilan believed that even if his wife was stealing fun outside, she should have gone to find other men, not monsters.

After simple reasoning, Morilan discovered that his wife was indeed innocent. It was very likely the disaster brought by his grandfather that caused his wife to nurture a monster in a way that ordinary people couldn't perceive.

After learning this result, Morilan cried bitterly and made up his mind to find out the truth and avenge his family.

Besides these, Morilan also had to solve his own problems. Having experienced so much, he was no longer a person who feared death, but he wanted to continue his family's bloodline.

This was very difficult. The reason was that his luck had always been going downhill. Maybe after a while, he would go to the street to beg for food, and then continue the family bloodline.

"So, you are prepared to entrust us to find out the truth? And then help you take revenge?"

Baha understood Morilan's meaning. This kind of thing, although not very common in the Dark Star World, was not rare.

"That's right. My family can't die inexplicably like this. And... my luck is very bad. I hope you can help me solve it. This must be a curse. I am sure. I have 14 experiences of almost choking to death while drinking water. This must be a curse!"

Morilan's eyes were full of blood. He was clearly already on the verge of losing control.

"You just said, your wife was suddenly pregnant? The one in her belly was a monster?"

Su Xiao was thinking in his brain. This matter was purely good luck, and the plan had to be changed.

"That's right."

Morilan tried hard to calm his heart, fearing that he would be corrupted.

"Did that monster have black tentacles on its body?"

"You, how do you know?"

Morilan's expression was excited. If it weren't for the table blocking him, plus Su Xiao's aura, he would have been excited enough to grab Su Xiao's hand.

Su Xiao extinguished the cigarette in his hand. He had a way to deal with that Ancient God. Without breaking the seal, he could deal with that Ancient God. ===== CHAPTER 3035 =====
