Eagle new calendar, October 19th.
Compared with the dark and cold style of Mercer, Lanlu is a beautiful city full of pastoral style, quiet and perfectly integrated into nature. However, under the era of "return of spirit tide", many mysterious events can not be avoided here.
If the rich or people with high social status encounter such events, they can get effective help and shelter through their own channels.
But there are some ordinary people who can only help themselves.
At this time, a bus full of "helpers" was breaking through the thick fog in the morning and driving towards the foot of Lushan along a narrower and narrower road in the suburbs.
There were about a dozen passengers on the bus.
Both men and women, young and old, take lovers, families or individuals as different units, and wear ordinary clothes. It seems that for some reasons, they don't pay so much attention to their personal image. Their faces are worried, and there is still fear in their eyes.
Tang Qi sat at the back of the bus. In the eyes of others, he became a poor old gentleman with white hair, some old but well pressed suits, gray hats and suitcases with obvious luxury flavor.
He stared at the passengers in the same car and recognized the situation of these people in an instant without turning on special abilities.
"The three couples all have the smell of ghosts. They should be left over from a mysterious event and have the smell of slight curse. According to the rules of the mysterious side, the ghosts will track them at some time and take some things, life or something from them."
"There are six people in a family. They are contaminated with the smell of demons, but they are not powerful. They should be some low-level demons."
"Four different individuals, three frighten themselves, and the remaining one has a serious problem. The obvious witchcraft marks have provoked an evil wizard?"
Naturally, the passengers did not know that the "old man" who took a ride on the way had seen their changes in the blink of an eye.
Except for the three men and women who made a false alarm, the rest have become "contacts", which means that they are involved in different mysterious events. Although they have saved their lives temporarily, they are remembered by ghosts, demons and evil wizards.
Their purpose of gathering on the bus is also clearly written on the posters pasted outside the bus.
Seeing the poster, Tang Qicai chose to take a ride by force.
It was a somewhat fancy poster, full of strange symbols and ancient symbolic symbols. In the center was an image of a character obviously pulled from an old photo. It was an extremely decadent, thin, dark eyed, like a middle-aged wizard with excessive indulgence.
"A refuge for crazy Wizards?"
Tang Qi's mind automatically emerged the scene he saw before getting on the bus, with a strange smile on his face.
Especially when the bus full of dull atmosphere drove through the foggy suburban path to an old villa in the depths of the dense forest, a huge light sign incompatible with the surrounding environment immediately appeared in the eyes of all passengers.
There are five big characters clearly written on it, and a pattern like texture is made around the font.
Ralph's house!
Seeing the name and the few words he talked with other passengers after getting on the bus, Tang Qi fully understood what the Al family were doing now.
As the last passenger to get off the bus, he looked at the gray white old villa with some old, but still aristocratic atmosphere. His special ability opened silently, and several fuzzy pieces of information jumped out intermittently.
[wonder: the villa of the mad wizard.]
[status: normal.]
[information fragment 1: once as the residence of crazy wizard Ralph, he created a lot of magical and strange witchcraft in it. Although Ralph could not become a real wizard because the spirit tide did not return, the villa stained with Ralph's breath became a special place under the scouring of the spirit tide.]
[information fragment 2: Ralph's breath makes the villa form an invisible shield to frighten evil and chaotic creatures such as evil spirits and Demons near.]
[information fragment 3: also because of Ralph's breath, the villa may attract some special creatures, generally harmless creatures.]
……
"Is it worthy of being Ralph's descendant? Although I didn't learn Ralph's Witchcraft, after knowing that Ralph's villa has a deterrent effect on creatures such as evil spirits, I made decisive use of it and opened a shelter?"
"It's a genius and a dead idea. I don't know what the charging standard is?"
Tangqi smiled and immediately followed the crowd to Al Ralph and his wife Talia, who had not seen in a while before the villa.
When they met for the first time, they were like passengers on the bus. They were frightened by the pursuit of a "Witch Hunter". Al tried his best to protect his family.
Now the two people have completely different bearing.
Al Ralph, in particular, wears a decent shirt, a comfortable sweater, has calm eyes, takes good care of his curly hair, and seems to have a faint smile around his mouth, exuding a reassuring and trusting temperament.
"Huh?"
But when Tang Qi glanced over and automatically captured the information fragments attached to him, a look of surprise came out immediately.
"Extraordinary creature: the descendants of wizards have pure wizard blood, but for some unknown reason, the blood breath in his body is fading... He is still Ralph's son, but his possibility of inheriting Ralph's wizard talent is rapidly decreasing."
"Blood subsides?"
Tangqi frowned immediately, which was completely unexpected.
The so-called "blood fading" is not rare on the mysterious side.
But it is usually because the purity of blood is weakened as offspring continue to intermarry with outsiders.
The son of a wizard like this, which degenerates directly, is extremely rare.
Tang Qi immediately began to think of the materials he had seen. This kind of situation is very rare, but it is not without. Tang Qi tried to guess which one?
"Look at his daughter Sarah, and the little boy. Is there a similar situation?"
While Tang Qi was thinking, the worried and frightened passengers came to Al and his wife with large and small bags of luggage.
Among the three couples who knew each other, a strong young man with blond hair hugged his haggard girlfriend and asked, "Sir, can you really isolate evil spirits here?"
"We must tell you frankly that we have really seen an evil spirit. It is a ferocious murderer. It has killed eight of our companions. The police don't believe us, but I swear in the name of my grandmother that everything I say is true."
"If you can really help us, you can pay any price, but if you can't, just to cheat money, we don't want to trouble you..."
The young man spoke very fast, a little messy, and was obviously under great pressure. With his story and excitement, he began to show strange and frightening changes on the skin of his bare arms.
The bright red lines appeared out of thin air, gradually sketched into the shape of a skeleton, and two machetes crossed together. Terrible malice spread out, the temperature in the surrounding area began to drop sharply, and sudden changes made couples scream.
The blonde seemed to be suffering. He pointed to his arm and shouted in fear, "it ~ it's coming!"
From calm to out of control, less than a second.
The young man hasn't become hysterical yet. I'm afraid it's because he has seen the scene of evil spirits killing.
But it only lasted a few seconds, because as the mark became clearer and clearer.
The cold wind wrapped in the cold to frozen bone marrow breath suddenly swept up, and the leaves and fog rose up, blocking the warm sunshine in the morning. At this moment, a nihilistic figure suddenly appeared in the shadow of the dense forest.
He was wearing clothes that were so rotten that he couldn't tell the style and age. There was no flesh and blood on his body, only a skeleton wrapped in stinky sludge and maggots. He carried a machete in both hands. In his dark eyes, a pale green flame was slowly rising.
The skeleton's mouth slowly opened, spitting out a foul mist, forming an invisible chain, entangled with the three couples.
The hoarse voice, with the cold seeping into the blood, penetrated into the people's ears:
"You... Can't escape!"
For a moment, including the three couples, they were scared to stay in place, their bodies trembled wildly, as if they wanted to scream, but they couldn't make any sound at all.
They all became like sculptures, waiting for the evil spirit to come step by step, wave machetes and cut off their heads.
Instead of intervening, tonkey looked at al.
He wanted to know how Ralph's son, who was gradually losing his "Wizard talent", would deal with the scene in front of him.
Just as his eyes passed, Al took a sudden step forward, grabbed the dull blonde, and whispered to the other frightened people, "follow me, evil spirits can't invade Ralph's house."
"Hoo"
When he caught him, not only the blonde youth, but everyone seemed to wake up and stumbled to follow the couple to the villa.
It was at this time that the "evil spirit" hiding in the dense forest seemed to fall into rage because of the intervention of outsiders. His whole person turned into stinky gas, swept out the smoke blocking the sun, and rushed over at a terrible speed.
The disgusting skeleton first poked out, and then a bloody and rusty machete chopped down at the people.
But when he set foot in the inner area of the villa, the original void was swept out by the red flame.
"Boom!"
The flame with a certain characteristic ignited the body of the evil spirit in a flash. Although the subsequent combustion was slow, it still brought severe pain to the evil spirit. He wailed and screamed. Finally, he had to wave a machete and cut off most of his body, which broke away from the flame.
It turns back into a stench fog, drills into the ground and disappears in an instant.
Tang Qi followed the crowd leisurely, completely ignoring the machete that was supposed to cut his head.
His eyes first looked at the sudden burst of fire, and then condensed on the ancestral villa of the Ralph family.
"Because it is contaminated with too much Ralph's breath, it has been transformed into a large strange thing, and some witchcraft including the flame spell... It is indeed a safe shelter."
