Chapter 1268 The Darkness Swallowing the Earth
"Miss Xiaoyao, why are you following Uncle Hong?" Kai pulled her over and asked in a low voice, "Don't you know how dangerous this is?"
Xiaoyao secretly glanced at Hong Tu and whispered to Kai: "I've been dreaming these days."
"Dream about monsters?" Kai became serious.
"No, it's something more terrifying than a monster." Xiaoyao couldn't help but glance at Hong Tu again, and quickly looked away.
She raised her hand and took out the drawing book from the satchel on her shoulder, opened a page, and handed it to Kai.
Kai seemed to have expected something. He took a deep look at Xiaoyao and looked at the picture album in his hand.
The white drawing paper was covered with black, except for two touches of red in the center.
Kai was startled and glanced at Xiaoyao. Xiaoyao motioned for him to turn the page, and Kai immediately turned to the next page.
This page is no longer completely black.
There is a planet painted in the center of the painting. Half of the planet is blue, presumably the earth, but the other half... is shrouded in darkness.
"This is..." Kai was startled, not expecting to see such a painting.
He subconsciously looked at Xiaoyao, but received the superpower girl's approval.
Xiaoyao is a girl with super powers who can have precognitive dreams, although all she can dream about is some bad future.
Although Kai never believed that the future was destined, the monsters Xiaoyao dreamed of would appear.
But this time, what she drew was... Is the earth swallowed by darkness?
When talking about black, Kai's first reaction was indeed red tea.
"Then you followed Mr. Hong because you dreamed of him?" Kai didn't quite believe that Hong Tu would devour the world.
Xiaoyao shook his head: "I don't know, I just saw him."
She just met Hong Tu on the road, suddenly saw the abyss-like darkness again, and then had more dreams about the darkness swallowing the earth at night.
In order to find out the truth of the dream, she chose to follow Hong Tu.
On the side, while the two of them were talking, Hong Tu was already looking for a direction.
He came here to look for food today, of course not for human food, but for a food that was more in line with his taste, a rare resentful ghost.
Well, although it felt a bit familiar, Hong Tu didn't bother to think about the reason for the familiarity. He hadn't eaten for a long time. Although the thing was not enough to fit between his teeth, it was still a candy and he could barely taste it.
In order not to scare the human girl, he did not go to eat immediately and planned to hand him over to Kai first.
After all, she is a rare person with super powers who can predict things, and Hong Tu still has a high tolerance for her.
But yesterday he also vaguely smelled that smell in the city, attached to humans, not heavy, but very recognizable.
So, where is the ghost hiding?
Hong Tu's eyes wandered around both ends of the street, and then he randomly found a direction to look for.
But as soon as he took a step forward, he felt two lines of sight appearing behind him.
Hong Tu: "..."
"I'm going to eat." Hong Tu looked at Kai expressionlessly, "You don't want to stop me from looking for food, do you?"
He was talking about foraging, and Kai suddenly understood what he meant. It was indeed not a scene suitable for humans to see.
Kai immediately pulled Xiaoyao and nodded to Hong Tu: "Sorry, Uncle Hong."
Saying that, he took Xiaoyao and prepared to leave.
Xiaoyao couldn't help but keep looking back at Hong Tu, but in the end he was dragged away by Kai.
The two walked for a while and stopped at a park.
"It's probably not Uncle Hong you dreamed about," Kai let go of Xiaoyao, "Maybe it's some other monster, is it tomorrow?"
Normally, Xiaoyao would dream about monsters one day in advance, but he had to face the situation of half the earth falling.
"I don't know." Xiaoyao shook his head, "I didn't see the time."
"Is that so?" Kai frowned, lost in thought.
Suddenly, he noticed the worried expression on Xiaoyao's face beside him, and couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't worry, no matter what enemy it is, I will defeat it. As I said, the future is not unchangeable."
He will protect the earth, even if it costs everything.
…
On the other side, Hong Tu walked out of the street and noticed a woman.
She had the aura of a resentful ghost on her body. Although it was very faint, it could not escape Hong Tu's eyes.
but……
"It's a bit strange," Hong Tu looked thoughtfully at the woman's leaving figure, "Just got it?"
Whether it was yesterday or today, the aura of resentful ghosts he saw had no intention of harming people, which was a bit unreasonable.
Like the Suna ghost we encountered before, if a human being is exposed to its ghost energy, it can range from a few days of illness to a few days of severe death.
But these ghost spirits are different, it seems that they are just contaminated.
This is strange. What kind of resentful ghost will not harm humans?
Hong Tu's curiosity was completely aroused, and he walked in the direction where the woman came from.
…
At some point, a holy place appeared on a love website - a stone monument erected somewhere in the city.
The stone tablet depicts a samurai without shoes. Legend has it that if you offer the shoes you often wear in front of this warrior's stone tablet, you can find the true love of your life.
Well, we won’t discuss whether this legend is true or false, but at least many girls actually tried it.
But these ignorant girls obviously don't know that what they worship is not the samurai god who blesses them to find true love, but the resentful ghosts who are born with resentment and suppressed here.
The stone tablet was under a stone bridge, and green vegetation covered the wall. Only the stone tablet was clean, as if it had been wiped.
There are already a lot of shoes placed on the stone platform in front of the stone monument, all of which are women's shoes. Obviously, those who will worship here are all yearning girls.
Hong Tu stood in front of the stone monument, bowing and looking at the stone monument.
The seal has begun to loosen as time goes by, but the resentful ghost suppressed inside has yet to break through the seal. Judging from the aura it emits, it is clearly not weak, and the seal is useless to it.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" Hong Tu raised his hand and knocked on the stone tablet.
But there was no movement inside, and the resentful ghost ignored him completely.
"I'll just take action without saying anything." Hong Tu retracted his hand, with a smile on his lips and a gentle tone, but the words he spat out were full of threats.
The resentful ghost inside still didn't respond, and was unusually quiet.
"Strange." Hong Tu narrowed his eyes, "Are you really a resentful ghost?"
The resentful ghost inside: "..."
"Forget it, I'll start immediately." Hong Tu raised his hand and prepared to start immediately.
"Stop! What are you doing!" A voice suddenly interrupted his actions.
Hong Tu raised his eyebrows, turned around and saw an old man in patrol uniform walking towards him aggressively: "What do you do?"
