"Sorry! This is a newly purchased model for my family, I forgot to bring it in!"
"Thank you for reminding me! Walk slowly..."
Outside the villa gate, Zhou Hong waved goodbye to the security guard politely.
He grabbed the human-shaped package and his face soon turned gloomy.
"You come in with me!"
Zhou Hong, who was furious, glanced at Zhou Fan and walked straight into the house.
Zhou Fan looked embarrassed and could only bite the bullet and follow his father.
In the side bedroom where Zhou Fan currently lives on the third floor, Zhou Hong took a pair of scissors from nowhere and cut open the human-shaped package.
I thought maybe I had misunderstood and that this might be a model.
But after opening the package, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
This is indeed a model, but the material is made of silicone.
Zhou Hongqi's fist clenched loudly, and his hateful gaze fell on Zhou Fan. He finally couldn't help but roared: "You bastard! Why did you come back to buy this thing?"
"You have a bad girlfriend? Neither of them can satisfy you?"
"If you don't tell me clearly today, I, I will complain to your mother today."
Zhou Hong was so angry that he originally planned to beat Zhou Fan violently.
But when he saw his old mother-in-law, who was holding a broom at the door and squinting at him, she couldn't help but trembled.
"Dad! Where are these things?"
"Zhang Qian bought this thing and said he would keep it at home for a few days until she comes back and then pack it away."
Zhou Fan originally wanted to pass the responsibility to Zhao Hu, but this seemed to make him more convinced that he needed a humanoid package.
So he simply used Zhang Qian as a shield, since she wasn't here now anyway.
"lubricating oil?"
At this time, Zhou Hong grabbed the small bag Zhou Fan was carrying, took out a box of extremely exquisite packaging, and couldn't help but feel his cheeks twitching when he looked at the contents and annotations inside.
"Didn't you often buy it before? I also saw you buying that kind of wolf fang..."
Grandma Zhou Fan, who was standing at the door watching the excitement, could not stop saying nothing.
Zhou Hong, who had been criticized for his age, was blushing. He quickly stepped forward to cover his old mother-in-law's mouth and led her chattering downstairs.
Zhou Fan was also dumbfounded for a while. He didn't expect his parents to be so playful.
He quickly locked the door and threw the bottle of lubricant into the closet.
With the scissors there, he didn't have to look for tools anymore.
There is actually a line in the middle of the humanoid package, which is easy to miss if you don’t look carefully.
Zhou Fan had no interest in playing with this thing, so he quickly cut the thread, and soon the silicone cracked.
There is a scroll, a token and a letter inside the silicone.
He first picked up the scroll and unfolded it to look at it, and found that it was actually a map, marked with the words "Topographic Map of the Dark Alliance Base No. 3".
The front of the token is engraved with the image of a ghost with a green face and fangs, and the back is engraved with the word "Experimenter".
Zhou Fan studied the token and scroll for a while, but after not seeing the reason, he opened the remaining letter.
Transformer: Transformed through Tai Sui's strange propagation of rotten flesh, it can heal wounds and become immortal, and its internal organs are corroded by the strange energy contained in the rotten flesh. Once completely transformed, it will gain unparalleled power but will lose its sanity.
The reformer is afraid of fire, and the multiplied carrion can be burned by spiritual fire.
The Dark Alliance Base No. 3 is the base where the Dark Alliance secretly studies Tai Sui's weirdness.
There are dangers inside, and there are countless undead.
Remember, nothing can enter without spiritual fire.
...
...
Zhou Fan was a little surprised by the content recorded in the envelope. It almost related to the secrets of the Dark Alliance. How did Zhao Hu know about it?
It seems that the guy suddenly disappeared for a while and seemed to have experienced something.
He picked up his cell phone and called Zhao Hu again, only to find that it was still powered off.
He had already left a message to Zhao Hu on the chat software, but the guy didn't respond.
"Spirit fire?"
"what is that?"
Zhou Fan looked at the envelope and muttered to himself, and quickly logged into the alliance database to check the information.
Spiritual fire, also known as strange fire, is a special flame born between heaven and earth. Compared with ordinary fire, it has unique spirituality and a more terrifying burning temperature.
Spiritual fire has fatal damage to dark evil objects, and can also increase its power by swallowing other strange fires.
There is not much information about spiritual fire recorded in the database, and Zhou Fan can only get a rough idea.
At this time, he couldn't help but take out the green lantern he got from the Forbidden Land of Bones.
The green lantern had gone out. Zhou Fan found a lighter and tried to light it, but found that the wick of the green lantern could not burn.
The green lantern has been extinguished by him before, but as long as there is fire to ignite it, it can still continue to burn.
But this time it couldn't be ignited, which made Zhou Fan frown.
Previously, the flames of the green lantern were used to incinerate Wang Dynasty, his grandfather, and the strangeness in the painting.
Although the candle flame went out when he picked up the green lantern, Zhou Fan didn't think much about it.
But now it cannot be lit, there is obviously something wrong with the lamp.
Before he could study the green lantern, the green lantern suddenly flashed a red light and scratched his palm.
Immediately afterwards, a suction force came from the wick.
Zhou Fan exclaimed and saw a large amount of blood being sucked out of the wound on his palm.
Before he could react, the blue lamp suddenly lit up with green light and merged into his body in the blink of an eye.
The sudden turn of events left him shocked.
He looked inside and found that the green lantern had shrunk in size and was floating in his Dantian.
Qing Deng is not the master of An Fen. It actually has a spiritual cyclone that wants to snatch the place where the Bauhinia Orchid is.
But I was beaten up by the vines spreading out from the redbud orchid. Although it didn't hurt, it was very embarrassing.
Qing Deng was so angry that he wanted to set a fire, but found that he had already misfired.
It was furious and rushed towards the cyclone where the embroidered shoes were, but was directly bounced away by a red light.
In the end, Qing Deng wanted to occupy the poor cyclone whose bone ring was weak, but found that it was difficult to suddenly transform the bone wall created by the bone ring.
With no choice, it can only float in the Dantian and wait for a new cyclone to form.
Qing Deng seemed to have a little willful temper, trembling, buzzing, hopping and cursing, urging Zhou Fan to quickly gather the cyclone.
Zhou Fan, on the other hand, frowned because he discovered through internal vision that there was a spirit body inside the wick.
That was actually a strange little poem in the painting, and she seemed to have completely melted with the green lantern.
He remembered that the green lantern was originally just a lamp. Although the flame was strange, it was not a forbidden weapon and could not be recognized as its owner.
Now that the green lantern has a spirit, it has turned into a forbidden weapon and still recognizes him as its master.
Zhou Fan didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but he could only take it one step at a time.
Perhaps, the old man before his death still couldn't bear to take Xiaoshi away, so he gave her another life.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Zhou Fan ignored Qing Deng. Instead, he opened the chat interface and considered his words, thinking about how to tell Lin Yuan the news about the dark alliance without involving Zhao Hu.
But before he could send the message, Lin Yuanyuan seemed to have a tacit understanding and sent him a message first.
Xue Tu, Pang Pang and others received news that Tai Sui was in the Dark Alliance Experimental Base No. 3.
They seemed to be in trouble after taking the team deep into the base, and sent a message asking for help.
I have sent two powerful teams of spiritual masters to reinforce. You and Yang Xue should not leave the city during this period. You may be required to perform some tasks when the time comes.
The sudden message from Lin Changyuan surprised Zhou Fan.
He replied "OK" and the original message was automatically deleted.
Since Xue Tu and others already knew about Base No. 3, Zhou Fan didn't say any more.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he took a photo of the topographic map and sent it to his uncle Ye Liang.
The topographic map of Dark Alliance Base No. 3 should be quite important to them.
Zhou Fan did not expose Zhao Hu, but used the excuse that it was the clues he found in the burned old house when he was looking for the murderer.
"This topographic map is very useful! Well done!"
"I'll give you a credit first!"
Ye Liang quickly replied to Zhou Fan's message, and after praising him, the chat history was cleared instantly.
"Clang!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Zhou Fan quickly hid the humanoid package under the bed, and then went to open the door.
His father, Zhou Hong, stood outside the door. His eyes were still not very friendly, and he even looked inside the house a few times.
"Your grandma is looking for you!"
"I'm warning you! Don't let your girlfriend run away because your mother said she might come back this week!"
“I believe you don’t like fried pork with bamboo shoots!”
After Zhou Hong said a few words of warning, he hummed twice and turned around and left.
Zhou Fan was obviously a little surprised, he didn't expect his mother to come back.
But when he thought about his always strong mother, if she really didn't see Zhang Qian and Yang Xue, she might beat him, he broke into a sweat.
I went downstairs with a grimace, and my grandma was watching the stars in the backyard.
Now that the sky has completely darkened, the starry sky at night is beautiful, and the stars are shining all over the sky like countless stars blinking in their eyes.
Busy people rarely look up, and Zhou Fan hasn't seriously looked at the starry sky for a long time.
A full moon gradually hangs high in the sky, and one quarter of the full moon can be vaguely stained with a hint of red.
"Do you know how the blood moon is formed?"
Grandma, who was lying on the rocking chair and looking at the starry sky, suddenly asked Zhou Fan.
Only then did Zhou Fan come back to his senses. He glanced at his expressionless grandmother and was about to shake his head, but couldn't help but pick up his phone and search.
A red moon usually occurs during a total lunar eclipse. This is because the thick atmosphere absorbs all purple, blue, green, and yellow light, leaving only red light to penetrate.
Therefore, during a total lunar eclipse, the atmosphere refracts red light onto the moon's surface, and we can see the red blood moon hanging high in the sky in the shadow of the earth.
Zhou Fan looked at the searched information and read it to his grandmother one by one.
But after hearing this, grandma shook her head and waved for him to come closer.
Although he didn't know whether his grandmother was sick again or in a normal state, Zhou Fan still came to her rocking chair and squatted down.
"Little girl! You have to remember!"
"When the blood moon sheds its light, you must not look at the moon!"
Grandma suddenly grabbed Zhou Fan's hand and explained solemnly.
Then he muttered: "The blood moon is very dangerous!"
"Yang Qi is exhausted, Yin Qi is strong, the sly door opens, and nine coffins come out, it's like falling into prison..."
Grandma muttered in a gloomy tone, making the dark backyard seem a bit colder.
Zhou Fan concluded that his grandmother was ill again when he called him "little girl".
So he didn't pay much attention to what she said, but grandma seemed to be stubborn and insisted on memorizing it.
Helpless, Zhou Fan could only follow his grandmother's footsteps and pray silently with her in the backyard for most of the night.
