Calamity sighed, shook his head, and said to himself with a tone of resentment: "It's hard to teach a child. With such a procrastinating and unprofitable temperament, sooner or later he will suffer a big loss."
The room was quiet, illuminated only by seven lit candles.
The old man brushed his hands and waved away a layer of dust.
This room is great. It is on the top floor with the best location. It has hundreds of square meters and is luxuriously decorated. It faces south and faces north. It is in the middle and overlooks most of the city. It is a pity that it is in decline now and has not been taken care of for a long time. It is inevitably a bit dirty.
Old. Of course, the worst thing is the power outage. Except for the elevator and necessary lighting, everything is dark.
It is said that a few months ago, this place was still a lively and prosperous place. However, it was later closed down because the owner broke the law and went bankrupt.
"What a waste."
The old man touched the leather cushion of the sofa and shook his head. Having lived for a long time, his knowledge is naturally far beyond that of ordinary people. He can tell whether it is genuine leather or high-quality leather by touching it and looking at it. "You think so?"
Of course no one answered.
The old man was not busy. He came to the middle of a candle, squatted down and twisted the wick, and continued: "What are you looking for? Are you looking for your little girlfriend? Don't worry, she is safe for now."
The huge hall was quiet.
Click.
Suddenly there was a soft sound, and a door inside opened.
Chen Fu walked out. Because he was wearing a light-absorbing invisibility cloak, his silhouette blended into the darkness. At first glance, he looked looming, like a ghost, which was a bit scary.
"This mask of yours is quite interesting, haha——"
The disaster didn't seem surprised at all. He walked to the middle of the circle surrounded by candles with his hands behind his back and stopped. He said with a smile: "How many times has this been the time we have met? Three or four?"
Chen Fu looked around.
The old man seemed to know what he was thinking, and smiled calmly: "Don't worry, he's not here."
Chen Fu turned around and stared at him for a while.
"Do you have any questions? As long as my old man knows, I will tell you everything."
"...What do you want to do?" After a few seconds of silence, Chen Fu finally couldn't help but voice the most puzzling question in his mind.
"Hmm...guess?"
"Haha——" Chen Fu pursed his lips and tightened the fingers in his sleeves slightly.
call.
The cold wind picked up slightly, and the candle's already weak light swayed.
"If I were you, I wouldn't do this."
The old man narrowed his eyes and continued with a smile: "This soul-gathering lamp gathers three souls and seven souls, leads the way to hell, lends life to heaven, and is specially designed to hang people's lives. Guess, whose life is hanging here?"
Chen Fu was shocked and his hands relaxed.
The cold air that quietly blew up in the room quietly dissipated.
The old man smiled and nodded: "Oh, a boy can be taught-"
"Where is she?"
"Far away."
"I'm not interested in your affairs at all." Chen Fu's eyes swept across the room covertly, but found nothing. "I just want to save people, give them to me, and I will leave immediately."
"oh?"
"To be honest, I don't care at all what you want to do, and I don't want to get involved. I only care about
My friend, we don’t have any conflicts, right? As long as you let her go, we can go our separate ways from now on." Chen Fu frowned, "Besides, the one you want to arrest is Zang Xue, right? You took her away.
Women have nothing to do with Zang Wuyang."
"Hmm -" Jiefang stroked his beard, smiled and nodded, "It makes sense."
"Also, although I can't beat that guy, I should have no problem dealing with you and your corpse puppets..." Chen Fu's eyes flashed with an obvious hint of viciousness.
Huh?
The old man raised his brows, half-smiling, "How dare you say it, young man, where do you get your confidence?"
Chen Fu's eyes narrowed slightly: "It's very simple. If you could beat me when we were in the hospital, no, I should say, even if you could drag me, you wouldn't leave in such a hurry..."
The old man's expression was slightly stiff.
Chen Fu continued: "Did you guess it right? If you guessed it right, it would be of great benefit to you to lose me as an enemy, right? You return the person to me, and I will turn around and leave. You can continue to live peacefully.
Just sit here and do whatever you want. Even in the worst case scenario, with your ability, even if you want to run away now, no one can stop you, right?"
"Oh--"
Sighing, the old man's expression relaxed a little, and he nodded slightly: "I have to say, you persuaded me..."
Chen Fu did not interrupt and waited for the next step.
The old man looked at him with visible admiration in his eyes, "You are much better than that boy Zang Wuyang. Yes, yes... What a pity. Although I really want to promise you, it's a pity that the girl you want..."
Chen Fu's expression froze.
The old man smiled lightly and continued: "He is dead."
Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, Chen Fu froze.
"Hoo."
The old man smiled softly, turned his wrist up, and pinched it with his fingers.
The huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling swayed, and the crystal pendants below jingled with each other, casting a swaying afterimage on the ground.
The black shadow rushed down and attacked Chen Fu.
Snap.
Suddenly there was a light explosion.
Chen Fu raised his hand casually, and a white light popped up from under his wrist, unfolding into a silver 'spider web' in the air, covering the black shadow. The inertia of the latter's dive was dampened, and he fell from the air. He stepped forward.
After a few steps, he caught her, then wrapped his hand around her body without giving her any chance to resist, and wrapped the silver thread around her body several times.
The whole process takes less than 3 seconds.
From the moment he said the last word "It's over", the disaster has not come back to his senses, let alone reacted. He is even a little sluggish, like a really slow old man.
Chen Fu looked at Liu Yuesha, who was twisting like a snake in his arms. She didn't look much different from a few hours ago. She was even dressed the same, except that she was dirty and covered in blood; except for the excessive blood loss that caused her skin to turn white.
, it seemed like nothing was wrong, but his eyes were a little red and full of mania. However, the pupils were a little hollow.
; The strength was unusually strong. When she struggled, the threads were cut into the flesh, and even cut and oozing blood. However, she seemed not to feel any pain and continued to struggle... He raised his hand and took out a handful as if he was prepared.
The syringe plunged into her carotid artery without mercy. His expression hardly changed during the whole process.
"Woo-"
Liu Yuesha let out a long groan, showing an expression of pain. As the injection began, the veins on her neck bulged, and her delicate body straightened up and became stiff. She trembled for a few seconds, closed her eyes, tilted her head, and fainted.
Chen Fu hugged her and opened her clothes. The wound on her lower abdomen was not bandaged, and there was a bloody hole as big as a finger. It was very scary, but strangely it seemed that the bleeding had stopped and the wound did not get worse. He threw away the syringe and removed it from his waist.
Finally, he took out a spray and sprayed it on the wound several times until a layer of white frost formed on the wound.
"No need to waste your efforts, the wound is deep into the internal organs and has already been necrotic."
"Jie Li" said calmly. Faced with a series of sudden and unexpected turns, he returned to normal within a few seconds without any sign of being upset or caught off guard.
Chen Fu raised his head with cold eyes.
The old man didn't take it seriously, but he was still in the mood to laugh at himself, "Oh, what a mistake, what a mistake. Boy, you can do it, you can do it."
Chen Fu hugged Liu Yuesha and looked at him for several seconds, but then stepped back.
The old man smiled and waved his hand.
puff.
One of the candles went out.
Chen Fu clearly felt the Liu Yuesha in his hand twitch, and a trace of blood came out of his eyes and nostrils. He stopped and his face instantly turned ugly.
The old man smiled and wrote lightly: "This soul-gathering lamp is connected to her three souls and seven souls. Every time one of them is extinguished, one life will be lost. All seven will be lost. It will be difficult for the gods to save her even if they come."
"I*you*——"
The veins on Chen Fu's forehead bulged out. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and almost squeezed out a greeting from between his teeth, "Did we offend you? Why are you biting us like an old dog and not letting go? What the hell are you doing?"
What do you want?"
The old man still smiled and said, "Oh, are you angry? Don't worry! I just reconsidered it and think you are right. There is no deep hatred between us. There is no need to fight to the death here. But, for me, it's just
Letting you leave like this makes me feel more or less at ease. If you come back with a knife, old man
I can't stand that trouble, right?" The old man continued, quite reasonably: "So, my request is actually very simple. You just stay here and don't go anywhere. Wait until the Soul Gathering Lamp takes care of itself.
Put it out, if you leave again, I will never stop you. In this way, your little girlfriend can live longer, and I can rest assured, getting the best of both worlds."
Chen Fu was speechless for a moment, unable to argue.
"How about it? Ha, it makes sense, right? That's it."
The old man finished talking to himself, but did not show any sense of urgency. Instead, he started chatting curiously, "By the way, kid, can I ask you a question?" Although he was asking, he didn't give him any room to answer.
Then he asked: "How did you discover this girl? Although I am old and my eyesight is not good, but...
"Didn't you already say that?"
Chen Fu interrupted him and put Liu Yuesha on the soft couch, "You are old..." After a pause, he added: "Now is the 21st century..."
Um?
The old man was startled.
The corners of Chen Fu's mouth raised slightly, "If you fall behind, you will be beaten..."
boom.
There was a sudden loud noise and the whole building shook.
