Huo Yusen left the Ji family and didn't go anywhere else.
He locked himself in a highly private hotel owned by Huo Feizhao and ordered no one to approach him.
He had to figure out where that evil thought in his heart came from!
Huo Yusen sat in front of the huge transparent floor-to-ceiling window, as the sun gradually slanted westward, and orange sunset clouds filled the sky.
As the last rays of sunlight faded, the boy, who had been staring blankly with wide eyes, suddenly fell asleep without a sound.
Feeling somewhat weightless, Huo Yusen slowly opened his eyes and found himself standing in a spacious but slightly eerie open space.
There is a well not far ahead.
Thick iron chains were crisscrossed around the well, and many yellow talismans were pasted on the chains.
Those talismans were very similar to the amulets Qiqi gave them, except that the patterns on the talisman paper were different.
Did Qiqi draw these symbols?
Huo Yusen wanted to get closer to see clearly.
However, just as he approached, a cloud of black gas suddenly gushed out of the well!
Even Huo Yusen, an ordinary person, could sense a strong sense of evil emanating from that aura.
The black mist floated in mid-air, gradually forming a strange black face.
The area around her eyes emitted a red glow, gazing at him with a sinister light.
His mouth opened and closed, uttering the words, "You've finally arrived?"
"Who are you?" Huo Yusen stared warily at the face shrouded in black mist. "Did you bring me here?"
"Who am I? Hahaha, it's you!"
"Bullshit! How could you possibly be me!" Huo Yusen shouted angrily, taking two steps forward in agitation. Suddenly realizing what he had done, he looked down at his legs in disbelief.
His legs can actually walk now!
"A year ago, in that car accident, on your deathbed, you made a wish. Have you forgotten it?"
Huo Yusen paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes to search his memory.
A year ago, on his grandmother's 80th birthday, on his way to the banquet, he was hit by an out-of-control truck that crashed into him and caused his car to overturn.
The vehicle he was in was badly damaged in the crash, and he was trapped between the seats, suffering excruciating pain in his legs.
For some reason, the once bustling street was completely deserted at that moment.
Blood was flowing, and the loss of body temperature made him feel like he was about to die.
He was terrified that his grandmother wouldn't be able to handle it.
At that time, Grandma had already lost her son, daughter-in-law, and eight grandchildren.
If it weren't for him being her only son, Grandma would probably have collapsed long ago.
Even so, Grandma aged several years overnight.
If something happens to him too, Grandma definitely won't be able to handle it.
So at that time, he silently prayed in his heart that someone could come and save him.
I'm willing to pay any price to save him.
Then, from within the shattered halo, a wisp of black smoke seemed to appear, seeping into his body through the cracked car window.
Then, his lost strength gradually returned, and he held on until the rescuers arrived.
However, his legs were so severely deformed that he was diagnosed with a disability in both legs.
Could it be that the black smoke from back then...
"Looks like you've remembered!" The dark-faced man floated in front of him, looking down at him. "I've been waiting for you, waiting for you to come to me!"
Huo Yusen's fingers trembled slightly at his side. Despite his young age, he had experienced so much that even though his heart was breaking, his face remained expressionless.
"Who exactly are you? Why can you hear my call from back then? What do you want from me?" Huo Yusen asked three questions in a row with a gloomy face and no expression.
The black-faced figure floated in mid-air, sometimes to Huo Yusen's left, sometimes to his right.
"You'll soon find out who I am. I've called you here today to collect the reward for saving you back then!"
What do you want?
"I'm very interested in that girl next to you. I need you to take her somewhere in three days!"
Huo Yusen's expression suddenly changed. "What do you want to do? Forget it, there's absolutely no way I'll help you hurt Qiqi!"
"I didn't realize you were such a romantic at such a young age!" the dark-faced man sneered. "Whether you help or not is not up to you!"
"Don't even dream about it, I'd rather die than help you!" Five-year-old Xiao Nian's expression was resolute, his deep black eyes revealing a determination to face death!
The man with the dark face seemed angry, and the fire in his eyes burned even brighter.
"Stubborn to the end!"
The dark-faced man sneered, "Just wait, you'll come back begging to me!"
Ask him?
Absolutely not!
Huo Yusen turned and left.
No matter what this thing is, if it tries to hurt Qiqi, he will never compromise with it!
However, it now seems that the evil thought in his heart that wanted to destroy the world was caused by this thing.
What is this thing?
Despite being suppressed by so many iron chains and talismans, it still managed to escape and cause trouble. It must be quite a formidable creature!
With such a guy threatening Qiqi's safety in the shadows, he had to take some precautions!
At this moment, Qiqi was entertaining Qingyi and his two fellow disciples at home.
To understand why Qingyi suddenly came to visit, we need to start from the day in Charles's laboratory when Qiqi fainted and the special forces rushed in.
That day, they explained that they were not with Charles, and that they were the ones who raided Charles's secret laboratory and subdued everyone.
Then they were taken away by the military and, like monkeys in a zoo, were forced to demonstrate some mystical and magical skills before they could convince the military that they were indeed Taoist masters, and legitimate Taoist masters at that, not fraudsters who promoted feudal superstition.
Then, leaders from government departments approached them, proposing to establish a special department together with Xuanmen to handle some paranormal events that the police could not handle.
Qingyi immediately reported the matter to the Xuanmen Association. His senior uncle Cangxuan took it very seriously and immediately ordered them to fully assist the authorities in setting up the special department.
This matter is of great importance, and Qingyi dares not be careless about it.
The first thing he did after agreeing to the agreement was to go find Qiqi.
In his opinion, no one was more suitable to be the head of this special department than Qiqi.
So he's here today to persuade Qiqi and the Ji family.
Before he could even speak, Qiqi rejected him, "You don't need to say anything, I'm not going! I'm going to the capital with Brother Xiao Jiu right away, and we don't even know when I'll be back! So you should go find someone else!"
"But young master, the matter of the demon seed is inherently..."
"Didn't I already give you the demon seed? What does it have to do with me? You don't want a three-year-old like me to work for you, do you? My God, this is child abuse! This is wrong!" Qiqi covered her mouth in feigned surprise and condemned righteously.
Qingyi: ...
You may only be three years old, but your abilities are far beyond that of a three-year-old!
