Taboo Master

Chapter 16 The Night Devil's Son
I felt a chill in my heart, but I saw that mysterious thing in the darkness who didn't know whether it was a person, a monster or a ghost, suddenly gave me a strange smile, and said coldly, "Who are you?"

The voice was deep and hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, making people sound uncomfortable, but the question he asked was actually exactly what I wanted to ask.When he opened his mouth, he also solved the doubt in my heart. I thought to myself, this is probably a person, or is it a ghost?

"Who are you?" I asked cautiously.

The mysterious man didn't answer me, instead he laughed: "Hehehe, it doesn't matter who I am, if you are willing to walk with me, I will naturally tell you who I am."

"Walk with you?" My heart skipped a beat, and I took a step back subconsciously, "Why should I go with you?"

"Because." The mysterious man suddenly came out of the darkness. It turned out to be a tall, thin and haggard man in black. It was a fang of the monster just now.

He continued with a sneer: "You just killed the son of the night devil, if you don't follow me, when the night devil comes to revenge, it will be your death."

"What, son of the night devil?" I was horrified, and subconsciously glanced at the place where the little monster died just now, but there was nothing there, and the hideous and terrifying monster was only left in my hands, and this Two teeth in the hands of the man in black.

"So what if I go with you?" I suppressed my beating heart and asked calmly.

"Hey, come with me, I will let you have the supreme power, whatever you want, you will have."

This sentence sounded familiar, as if the villains in TV dramas usually use this sentence when trying to win over people, so I concluded almost immediately that this guy is not a good guy.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I'm lazy and don't want anything. I just want to go to school with peace of mind." I refused.

The man in black gave an evil smile: "From today onwards, I'm afraid you won't be able to feel at ease anymore, when the night demon comes"

I suddenly got a little impatient, interrupted him and said: "Please, don't keep scaring me with night demons, I don't even know what that thing is, besides, I didn't kill that little thing just now, I haven't seen why yet. Then it turned into blood, and then you appeared. Do you believe that I will tell the night devil that you killed it?"

The man in black was slightly stunned, and then he laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, I really have the guts to ask you again, are you willing to go with me?"

"If you ask ten times and a hundred times, I won't go with you. I'm going to go to college in one year. If I go with you, can you get me to Tsinghua University? I'm sorry, I have to go back to sleep. I still have classes tomorrow." "

I shrugged my shoulders pretending to be indifferent, turned around and was about to go back, the man in black sneered from behind, but raised his hand and threw something over, I wanted to avoid it, but he shouted in a low voice: "It's for you good stuff, got it"

As soon as I heard it was a good thing, I subconsciously reached out and took it. I looked down and saw that it was just a black stone. I could hold it with one palm, but I couldn't see any magic. A black rock in our mountains is somewhat similar.

"What is this?" Holding the stone, I suddenly felt an indescribable strange feeling in my heart. It was very uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but feel an urge to throw it away.

"Don't throw it." He seemed to see my intention at a glance, and stopped him: "This is obsidian, a thing that wards off evil spirits, and I have kept this stone by my side for many years. It is very spiritual. I call it Dongtian Stone , if you stay by your side, it will be useful to you."

I frowned after hearing what he said. I have heard of obsidian, and it can indeed ward off evil spirits. Could it be that this person is not malicious?But looking at him, I can't connect him with a good person.To use an analogy, it’s like the wolf grandma in Little Red Riding Hood. Even if she puts on human clothes and speaks sweet words, but her big tail and fangs are exposed, she is obviously a bad wolf. Is the carrot he gives edible?

After much deliberation, I still decided to refuse: "Sorry, we don't know each other, I can't take your things, besides, I took them away, what do you do?"

I tried my best to express my refusal in a tactful way so as not to anger him, but he laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, you don't have to worry too much about this. It is fate to meet you. And the purpose of my giving you this thing is that if you want to It’s clear, when you want to find me, just crush this stone, and I will appear in front of you.”

"I'm going, it's so amazing? But please, if I have the power to crush rocks, why should I ask you?"

"Hahaha, if you don't have this kind of power, then it's useless to find me. I believe that you are definitely not an ordinary person. You have to keep the Dongtian Stone well. Remember, don't let anyone see it."

As the man in black said, he backed away slowly with an evil smile, and gradually disappeared in the darkness. I was about to continue my refusal when he suddenly jumped up and jumped onto the high courtyard wall, making a creepy laugh In the sound, after a few jumps, it disappeared at one end of the courtyard wall.

My heart was beating wildly, and I watched the man in black disappear from sight and go far away. After a while, I breathed a sigh of relief. The crisis was finally resolved, and suddenly I felt my throat dry up and my legs go weak. .

The night finally returned to calm, as if nothing had happened, but there was still a faint smell of blood in the wind blowing past my ears, which was hard to dissipate.

I looked around, fortunately, I should be the only one in this huge campus, and I would not be noticed, but there are many shadows of trees in the distance, and the towering dilapidated building next to it looks like a ferocious beast at this moment , prostrate there.

I couldn't help shivering, clenched the blood jade wrench finger, and the fang, and ran back to the dormitory in a hurry, taking advantage of the dark moon and high wind, and no one around.

From this day on, a shadow has been cast over my heart. I am afraid that that night devil will really come to settle accounts with me, and I am also afraid that the mysterious man in black will come to take me away again. When I was next to the building, I would subconsciously avoid those trash cans.

Only after this incident, there were no stray cats in the school again.

I have been hiding that hole in the sky stone in the cabinet. Two days later, I finally waited for the big day. I couldn't wait to go home and wanted to ask my grandpa what it was, and whether that night demon would really come to seek revenge on me.

But when I got home, my grandfather was not there. The door was locked, the windows were shattered, and even the small wooden door outside the fence was closed.

My heart sank, and I hurriedly took out the key and opened the door. After rushing into the house, I found that the pot and table were deserted, and the furniture and utensils had already been covered with a layer of floating dust. Everything in the house showed that no one had lived in the house for a long time.

A hint of ominousness welled up in my heart, I turned around and ran out, but ran into my neighbor, Uncle Li, outside the door.

"Uncle, where is my grandpa?" I grabbed him and asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, didn't I see you coming back, did I come here to tell you that your grandpa left last month and said he was going to go for a long time, before leaving, he told us that if you come back, Let me tell you not to worry, he will be back in a few months, at most a year."

"One year?" I was surprised, "What the hell did Grandpa do? Why did he have to go for so long?"

Uncle Li shook his head and said: "Then I don't know, but I think he walked very easily, as if he was going on a trip, there should be nothing wrong, you can rest assured."

"Traveling? Grandpa has been living with me in the village for so many years. It's fine. Where can he go?"

I muttered to myself, and Uncle Li comforted me and said, "Maybe there is something wrong. Since your grandfather said he would come back, he will definitely come back. What are you in a hurry for? He also said, let you study with peace of mind. Work hard and don’t worry about anything else.”

After Uncle Li finished speaking, he patted me on the shoulder, sighed and left.

I stared blankly at the empty home, thinking to myself, where would grandpa go?
