"The underground storage room, we used to keep wine there. But now it’s empty, nothing left."
You smiled and said, "In this world, just because you can’t see sothing doesn’t an it doesn’t exist."
As you reached out to push open the door of the storage room, a strong gust of chilly wind blew out!
Xu Hai, standing beside you, couldn’t help but shudder.
"I never expected that after all these years, soone would still be able to break the Magic Seal."
At that mont, a man completely shrouded in mist stepped out.
However, as the man erged from the storage room, the middle-aged man and his wife suddenly jolted. They quickly set down the child in their arms and rushed toward the shadowy figure!
"How dare you still linger here!"
"Your life is forfeit!"
The couple shouted in unison, as if they were venting all the pent-up resentnt of the past decades.
However, at that mont, two Energy Barriers blocked their way.
"Please wait a minute," you said hastily. "Although this matter doesn’t have much to do with , I still want to understand one thing."
"What is it?" Xu Hai asked, cooperating.
"I want to figure out this person’s identity."
"Identity?" Xu Hai said. "Isn’t he the murderer? Is he so famous historical figure or sothing?"
You kept staring at the man; his face was obscured by the black mist, which made it impossible to see. But when black and white light flashed in your eyes, you could easily see through the mist and discern the man’s appearance!
Just as you suspected, the murderer was indeed the eldest son, the one standing on the right-hand side of the middle-aged man in the family photo!
"It’s really you."
"Hmph, you guessed it?" the shadow laughed coldly.
"I had suspicions all along, but I never dared to confirm them; after all, there are very few people like you in this world. As a son who killed his father and mother, as an older brother who led his sister down a dark path and corrupted his brother, there are probably none as abhorred by both gods and n as you."
"What?!" The middle-aged man and woman exclaid in shock, staring intently at the shadow with their crimson eyes.
They couldn’t believe it – nor did they want to.
The shadow shrugged nonchalantly and waved a hand, dispersing the mist that shrouded his body to reveal his face to everyone.
You and Xu Hai were also taken aback upon seeing his face.
This young man looked even more like the middle-aged man than in the photographs, so much so that those unfamiliar with them would find it hard to tell the difference.
Their only difference was their age.
"This... this can’t be! This is impossible!" The woman in the cheongsam seed to have gone mad, her whole deanor becoming frantic.
The middle-aged man appeared calr, although his hands were clenched so tightly they shook, and his chest heaved violently.
"Why?"
After a mont of silence, the middle-aged man finally asked.
The young man laughed, his smile increasingly twisted and his voice turning hoarse: "Because you all deserve to die!"
Through the following words of the young man, you and Xu Hai finally understood that he was the son of the middle-aged man’s ex-wife, and the woman in the cheongsam was his stepmother.
Just when you and Xu Hai thought this was going to be a cliché pri ti drama plot, the young man suddenly gazed at the cheongsam woman with deep affection.
Though he didn’t speak, that expression alone was enough to make you both break out in goosebumps.
The two of you exchanged a look, each thinking the sa three words in your head: "Forbidden love!?"
"Do you know? I did everything I could to co back from Yamato. I gave up on my studies; I threw away all thoughts of national affairs; I had only one thought – to be with you forever and ever."
"Stop talking!" The cheongsam woman avoided the gaze of her stepson and bowed her head.
"No, I must speak!" The young man’s emotions surged again. "Didn’t we agree? Three years – you wait for for three years, and after that, I would co back to marry you, to take you ho in glory and make you the most beautiful bride in the world! But why... why did you betray , why did all of you betray !!"
The middle-aged man was about to speak when the young man suddenly pointed accusingly at him: "You! You’re worse than a beast! To be with this woman, you killed your wife who had shared your life for more than twenty years!"
"No, it’s not like that, let explain..."
"I don’t want to listen! I don’t want to hear it!" At that point, mist began to rise once more around the young man’s body. "I’ve grown tired of these decades; now we’ll die together and disappear forever!"
Seeing the young man’s uncontrollable emotions, you quickly pulled Xu Hai back and hurriedly took out a small notebook with cartoon patterns of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf from your pocket.
Uh, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf?
No wonder Little Gray only eats grass and is so docile...
Now isn’t the ti to ponder this.
Shaking his head, Xu Hai quickly discarded the thought that could potentially get him blacklisted by every TV station and asked you, "What’s that?"
"It’s from an old lady who, despite being eighty-nine years old, insists I call her ’Elder sister.’"
"Wow, that’s an extre case! Introduce soti."
Ignoring Xu Hai, you had received this small notebook from the old lady three days ago and had been studying it whenever you had the chance.
You’d just never tried it for real. Although the situation was urgent now, you didn’t have ti to worry about that any longer.
You had already prepared Talisman Paper before coming here, and now you quickly took out a Yellow Vermilion Charm and, biting your finger, quickly drew an Odd Curse Mark onto it.
This Mark was different from the ones in the small notebook; you had intended to draw one from the notebook, but for so reason, as soon as you started, your mind went blank, and you naturally ended up drawing this Odd Curse Mark – the Seal of Truesky!
Once the Curse Mark was complete, you tossed it into the air, clapped your hands together, and quickly ford two Hand Seals, shouting, "All Forms of Sen Luo, Jedi!"
The small notebook had detailed notes on many techniques, such as their effects, repercussions, and so on.
However, so techniques were very vaguely described, especially this one called "Jedi." You didn’t quite understand its aning because its note was – "Manifest what’s in your heart!"
At this mont, what you wanted was – to summon Ghost!
The idea sounded far-fetched, but you knew that to tackle this seemingly complex family drama, you could only rely on the thods of an Underworld Judge.
It should be possible, right?
