Lu Runhua was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Lying on the emergency table, he lost his former elegance, his face was pale, and he looked lifeless. He had an oxygen mask on his mouth, his cracked lips were wide open, as if he was having difficulty breathing.
The housekeeper looked at Lu Runhua with grief, it was hard to imagine that the gentleman who was still bright and handsome a few hours ago had become like this a few hours later.
The initial diagnosis of the medical staff was physical failure.
Not only was his appearance aging, but all the organs in his body were rapidly failing and deteriorating. It was hard to imagine that this was the body of a man in his early fifties, more like a man in his seventies or eighties, who was about to be buried.
This was simply unbelievable.
The medical staff did not recognize that the haggard man with black and white hair was Lu Runhua. Because his condition was so special, they asked the housekeeper about the situation.
The housekeeper knew that the master's condition was the backlash of evil magic. When the master began to use that evil magic, he paid the price of overdrawing his life.
The housekeeper tried to stop him and persuade him, but it was all in vain.
When he understood the master's obsession, as someone who had served Lu Runhua all his life, his only choice was to help the master realize his wish.
Unfortunately, they still failed.
In response to the medical staff's inquiries, the housekeeper vaguely evaded them.
The body was failing, the organs were aging, and there was no good treatment at all. The hospital asked the housekeeper to prepare himself mentally, and then sent Lu Runhua to the intensive care unit, where he was kept alive by a ventilator and IV drip.
Lu Runhua did not close his eyes during the whole process. He did not lose consciousness, but was unable to move or speak. He lay on his back on the bed with his eyes closed, and there was still reluctance in his eyes.
The door creaked, and someone pushed the door open.
The housekeeper who was guarding the bed raised his eyes and was slightly stunned when he saw the person coming. He was silent for a few seconds, but still whispered: "Second Young Master."
Gong Xu pursed his lips, his eyes fixed on Lu Runhua on the bed.
He walked over step by step, as if he wanted to see this man clearly. This man he once admired as a father.
Lu Runhua tilted his head slightly because of this movement, and when he saw Gong Xu, he gasped heavily.
Gong Xu put his hands in his pockets and looked at him expressionlessly. After a long while, he suddenly asked, "Have I always been just a tool to threaten my brother?"
In Lu Runhua's life, has he ever treated himself as a son?
Lu Runhua rolled his eyes and seemed to want to speak.
The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the oxygen mask a little.
Lu Runhua stared at Gong Xu, his eyes looked more energetic than before, but when he spoke, his voice was hoarse: "Did your brother ask you to come see me?"
Gong Xu looked at him for a long time, and after a long pause, he slowly revealed a mocking smile: "No, he probably won't see you again in this life." After
he finished speaking, he no longer expected to hear an answer from Lu Runhua, and walked out indifferently.
From now on, he no longer needed his father in his life, and Lu Runhua was really just a stranger from then on.
"Stop, stop..."
Lu Runhua seemed to be struggling to speak. He leaned on the bed and panted for a while, then squeezed out a voice: "Tell... tell your brother, if he doesn't want to die... he'd better come to me obediently..."
Gong Xu turned around suddenly and glared at him fiercely: "What did you do to my brother!"
Lu Runhua smiled, and his haggard face was smiling happily at this moment, "Although he didn't transform into a perfect demon, the magic is not completely ineffective. If he... if he doesn't cooperate, I will risk my life to make him come back to me."
Gong Xu kicked the cabinet next to him angrily and cursed: "You lunatic, if you want to die, go and die by yourself!"
"If you don't want him to die, let him come to see me, the sooner the better!"
Lu Runhua started coughing while laughing, and the housekeeper immediately put the oxygen mask back on him and helped him lie down.
He lay there with his eyes closed, contentedly, wondering when Lu Haozhi would give in.
He was not worried even if he fell into Lu Haozhi's hands. He didn't care about life and death, and the deadline was approaching. He just wanted to try one last time, eager to see what he had been pursuing for half his life.
Lu Haozhi returned to the apartment, with no expression on his face.
Luo Xi and he almost met each other at the same time. Seeing him standing in front of the cat climbing frame in a daze, she was stunned for a moment, rushed over to look at the empty cat climbing frame, and asked in disbelief: "Is it too late? Xiaoguai has fallen into the hands of a pervert!?"
Lu Haozhi turned his head to look at her, and seemed to react a little slowly: "Pervert?"
Luo Xi thought that he didn't know the situation yet, so she immediately told him the news she got from the earth-bound spirit. Halfway through her speech, she remembered that Lu Runhua was this man's father. I'm afraid no one would feel good to suddenly know that their father was a cruel pervert.
Thinking of this, Luo Xi paused and said a little more tactfully: "Although there is a ghost pointing it out, it is not confirmed that it is really him. Don't think too much..."
"It's him."
Lu Haozhi suddenly said, thinking for a while and added: "Xiaoguai is fine, I have solved it. He is now in the hospital under the Lu family. He probably won't live for a few days."
Luo Xi was surprised, "Only a few days to live?"
"Using the body of an ordinary person to drive evil magic, this is destined to be the end."
When Lu Haozhi said this, his tone was flat.
Luo Xi looked at him silently, unable to judge from his expression whether he was sad or not. In her opinion, Lu Haozhi and his father didn't seem to have a good relationship, but at this point, even Lu Haozhi should feel bad.
"I'm hungry." Lu Haozhi said suddenly.
"..."
Luo Xi felt that she was really worrying about nothing. At this time, he was still thinking about food. She slowly pointed to the cupboard: "Your instant noodles are all there. Go make them yourself when you are hungry."
Lu Haozhi stood still and repeated: "I'm hungry."
Luo Xi reacted a little slowly. Was he going to make food for him?
She didn't want to pay attention to him, but after thinking about it, she got up and went to the kitchen.
Forget it, considering that he had solved the problem of his father himself.
Luo Xi took a bucket of instant noodles from the cupboard, and took out a sausage from her pile of snacks to add to his instant noodles. While waiting for the water to boil, she suddenly heard a "clang" sound, as if something had hit the ground heavily.
Luo Xi turned her head suddenly, her eyes widened slightly.
Lu Haozhi fell on the floor of the living room.
Luo Xi blinked. Was he fainted from hunger?
Since Lu Haozhi had such a criminal record, it was no wonder that she thought so.
When Xiaoguai, who had just disappeared, saw his shit shoveler fall down, he suddenly appeared from somewhere and squatted beside him, meowing.
Luo Xi walked over quickly and poked him with her hand.
"Lu Haozhi?"
The man lying on the ground did not respond. His eyes were tightly closed and there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
Luo Xi thought he had a fever again, but when she touched his forehead, she felt something was wrong.
It was not a fever, but surprisingly cold.
Not only was there something wrong with his body, but Lu Haozhi's energy began to become unstable.
Luo Xi was just about to open her Yin Eyes to see more clearly when she saw Lu Haozhi suddenly open his eyes, and the color of his eyes was not right.
Lu Haozhi's eyes were nice-looking, slightly upturned, and a little thin. In the past, his pupils were as black as ink, like a deep pool, calm and indifferent, as if he was a little careless about everything.
But now, his eyes were actually a little golden!
Lu Haozhi himself was obviously not awake yet, and he was able to open his eyes purely out of instinct. This also made his golden eyes look even more indifferent and ruthless.
Luo Xi was surprised.
Eyes can change color? Could it be that Lu Haozhi is not an ordinary person?
This thought just flashed through her mind, and the next second, the Lu Haozhi in front of her turned from a human into a huge creature with a pitch-black body and golden claws and tail in an instant.
His clothes were torn, and fell to the ground like rags. A black flame-like thing flashed across his body strangely, burning the remaining cloth strips into ashes.
Luo Xi was stunned. Is this... a black panther?
The guy in front of him was much bigger than the average black panther, as big as a tiger, with four paws stepping on the floor, half a person's height. The golden green pupils turned into bright gold at this moment, and stared in the direction of Luo Xi without the distance between the pupils.
Luo Xi's mind was blank for a moment, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Is Lu Haozhi a sub-human?
No, this is more like a monster.
Leopard monster?
This size... looks more powerful than weasels.
The little golden dragon was completely dumbfounded.
Its, its male god has changed ah ah ah ah ah! ! !
It looked so strong and majestic, but it seemed like it was going to be turned into ashes in a second!
Luo Xi cautiously took a few steps back to prevent the black panther from rushing over.
The black panther stood still, and the black flames on its body ignited again, as if it was fighting with something, and gradually spread to its entire body.
The magical thing was that this black flame seemed to be controlled by Lu Haozhi. Even though he seemed to be unconscious, the flame did not burn anything else.
A few seconds later, the black flames suddenly enveloped the entire black panther. In the cold flames, the huge black panther began to slowly shrink, getting smaller and smaller, and finally there was only a black cat about the same size as Xiaoguai left... Milk cat?
Luo Xi was stunned.
She glanced at the black milk cat wrapped in flames, and then at Xiaoguai who was scared and hid aside because of Lu Haozhi's sudden transformation.
These two look so much alike.
She looked at Xiaoguai carefully again, and then at the kitten that Lu Haozhi had transformed into. The once vague memories suddenly became clear, and the doubts she once had were suddenly resolved.
Why did the impression Xiaoguai gave her change so much before and after?
Why did Chu Jingheng send two black cats when she went to the Taoist Association.
And why was Lu Haozhi always there to sing lullabies to Xiaoguai every night even though he was obviously very busy!
Luo Xi felt like her brain was buzzing.
All this only proved one thing, Lu Haozhi was the black cat she met at the beginning! Xiaoguai
was caught by him to blame!
He actually kept it a secret from her for so long! And he shamelessly pretended to be an ordinary person!
Luo Xi stared at the black cat on the ground with black flames, gnashing his teeth, and felt that humans were not good people, with deep scheming and shameless minds.
The evil magic that Lu Runhua used his life to perform was not a chicken rib, and the beast soul that was sacrificed was not an ordinary weakling. If Lu Haozhi did not have the ability to devour the power of Yinsha, which just happened to restrain the beast soul, he would not have been able to escape unscathed.
According to Lu Runhua's script, after the ferocious beast soul and Lu Haozhi merge, it will become a catalyst for Lu Haozhi's bloodline. The demon race has a long infancy, and Lu Runhua can't wait, so he naturally doesn't mind using some means to skip this stage. What
he longs to see is a powerful and nearly perfect adult.
According to his prediction, Lu Haozhi, who had merged with the beast soul, would directly evolve from a child to a great demon.
As for whether Lu Haozhi's mind and soul would be devoured by the beast soul, Lu Runhua didn't care at all.
This evil method would not protect Lu Haozhi's soul. It was a bit like seizing the body. Only one of the beast soul and Lu Haozhi could survive in the end.
Whoever was stronger would survive. Lu Runhua didn't care whether it was his son or the beast who won after being catalyzed. He was thinking that as long as he could see the perfect great demon, he would die without regrets.
Unfortunately, the power possessed by Lu Haozhi exceeded Lu Runhua's prediction. Although the beast soul was powerful, it was a sinister creature that had been dead for many years. Such evil power is a danger and an opportunity for Lu Haozhi.
When the beast soul came, Lu Haozhi swallowed it directly. As long as he won this time, he could not only get rid of the appearance of a milk cat, but also have the powerful strength of a ferocious beast.
The ferocious beast was invincible when it was alive, but after its death, its mind was scattered and it was suppressed for many years. For a while, it was weaker than Lu Haozhi, so that Lu Runhua's desire was shattered.
But the beast soul is a ferocious beast after all, and it has swallowed a lot of animal spirits to enhance its strength. Even if it is swallowed, it is not so easy to digest.
The current appearance of Lu Haozhi, in the simplest way, is that he has a little indigestion.
The external manifestation is that his beast form cannot be stable. Sometimes he appears as an adult, and sometimes he turns into a kitten.
Luo Xi looked at the one on the ground with an expressionless face.
The sponsor turned out to be a cat!
You must have made a mistake. The sponsor is so high-class and his personality is cold and indifferent. How could he be such a fluffy thing that only knows how to act cute and coquettish!
Luo Xi looked at the golden pupils of the black cat. Although she had not regained consciousness, the familiar aura of indifference, calmness, and coldness was revealed.
"..."
She wanted to find an excuse for the sponsor, but she couldn't convince herself.
Recalling the days since she met Lu Haozhi, Luo Xi took a deep breath to suppress the impulse to send the black cat to the underworld to accompany Qin Tianxing.
Fortunately, she thought that Lu Haozhi, as a sponsor, was a particularly easy-to-get-along-with and particularly good person.
Fortunately, she had spoken well of Lu Haozhi when Boss Feng was slandering him every day.
Now that she suddenly realized that the black cat was Lu Haozhi, Luo Xi felt terrible.
This scene also made the sea monster from Asmana clearly recognize the four words "beast in human clothing" for the first time.
...
Compared to Luo Xi, the little golden dragon also thought of this foolishly after sighing.
It thought of the black cat that had quarreled with it before, and the black cat that made it bear the reputation of "troublemaker" was actually the male god. Its previous ferocious appearance was actually seen by the male god...
Thinking of this, the little golden dragon cried out.
"Ahhhhhh, what should I do? My idol is actually the black cat. Doesn't that mean he knows everything?"
"I, I haven't even gotten close to my idol yet. Will I ever be able to be his adorable little girl again?"
"My pure gold statue flew away, and my heart is broken!"
The little golden dragon became more and more sad, and finally cried out "wow".
Luo Xi: "..."
This heart-wrenching cry brought Luo Xi back to her senses. Seeing that the little golden dragon was crying so hard, Luo Xi said expressionlessly: "You are not a adorable little girl. Please examine yourself correctly."
The little golden dragon: "..."
It felt like it had suffered a huge blow.
It cared more about Luo Xi's opinion than the idol. She had clearly said that she was a partner, the beauty she held in her palm. How could she turn her face and be so ruthless now!
The little golden dragon opened its mouth to howl, but Luo Xi reached out and pinched it.
This dragon loves to cry, be irritated, and be troublesome, but compared with Lu Haozhi who deceived him in disguise, it is still much simpler.
With the contrast, Luo Xi curled the corners of her lips, and in its aggrieved eyes, she praised it soothingly: "You are not a little cutie, but a majestic little baby."
The little golden dragon was heartbroken and held back his heart. Being praised by Luo Xi suddenly, it felt very happy and a little embarrassed.
With fireworks exploding in its mind, it replied dryly: "You, you are also a majestic and domineering big baby!"
In the little golden dragon's concept, majestic is the highest word of praise.
It secretly thought countless times that when it succeeded in its cultivation and became a big golden dragon, it would find people to praise itself for its "majesty and domineering" every day!
Luo Xi obviously did not share the same aesthetics as the little golden dragon. She rejected the praise expressionlessly and ended this wave of business praise with the little golden dragon.
The "indigestion" black cat on the ground rolled over in some pain, its golden eyes closed, and black flames emerged intermittently. Perhaps it was the ferocious beast's dying backlash, causing it to let out a low roar.
The roar was not loud, but it carried endless pressure, just like an ancient ferocious beast wantonly venting its anger.
Luo Xi looked at the black cat with a complicated look.
The little golden dragon poked its head out and looked at the male god with sympathy: "The male god seems to be in a lot of pain... Do you want to help him?"
Luo Xi refused coldly: "He won't die. He will get numb after the pain. Just get used to it."
The little golden dragon lit the male god with wax. It felt that the male god's vest was dropped at a really bad time. With Luo Xi's personality, this is definitely the rhythm of being blacklisted.
Luo Xi walked over and picked up the 'real*back-pot milk cat Xiaoguai' and prepared to pack it up and take it away, so as not to stay here and be swallowed by the irrational Lu Haozhi.
The little milk cat had been trembling with fear because of Lu Haozhi. When Luo Xi hugged it, it dived into Luo Xi's arms and refused to come out.
Luo Xi held the cat and returned to the guest bedroom to pack her luggage, leaving Lu Haozhi alone in the living room, tumbling and jumping around.
...
When the luggage was half packed, the little golden dragon suddenly jumped out, stared at the direction of the living room, frowned and said, "Such a strong yin energy!"
Luo Xi also felt it. This yin energy was even stronger than the last time she saved the ghosts in Baiyun Temple. There were at least hundreds of lonely ghosts at that time, but the yin energy gathered by this number was not as strong as the yin energy that suddenly appeared at this moment.
What the hell is going on outside?
