The Rubys had a hard time waking up today and were feeling very physically exhausted.
Mrs. Ruby touched her cheek and suddenly realized how prominent her cheekbones were.
I still have to go to work, take Luna to school, and have a day to prepare. I still have to get up from the beginning.
The scale was still in the corner of the room, but today, Mrs. Ruby was a little hesitant to go up there. She realized belatedly that something was wrong.
She found that when her husband got up and stretched, his ribs on his sides were so obvious that they looked like a skeleton. She found that the joints of her arms, legs, knees and elbows were so protruding.
Although her husband was very tired, he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash up as usual, and came out to get dressed with dark circles under his eyes, as if he didn't feel that he had any illness.
This made Mrs. Ruby feel inexplicably frightened.
"Honey, come and weigh yourself!"
"Why should I weigh myself? I'm not losing weight."
The man, who was adjusting his short-sleeved shirt, didn't pay much attention, but Mrs. Ruby went straight over and pulled him in front of the scale.
"Just weigh yourself. I want to see how much you weigh now."
"Okay, okay, I remember I weighed 82 kilograms last time."
As he spoke, Mr. Ruby stood on the electronic scale and the reading jumped to 61.2 kilograms.
"Huh? What happened? Your scale is broken?"
Mr. Ruby was shocked. How could he lose 20 kilograms in an instant?
The couple argued in the room for a while, and finally decided to go to the hospital.
Luna hadn't slept all night, but she was still in good spirits. When she heard her parents getting up in their room, she would immediately open the door and go out to wait for them.
The parents looked a little scary.
She really wanted to take them outside directly, but after thinking it over, she decided to wait patiently for the family to have breakfast.
The three of them came out of the house and were about to get in the car, but Luna suddenly ran away and rushed towards the intersection not far away.
"Baby, what are you doing?"
"Luna, come back, it's time to go to school~~!"
The Ruby couple called out a few times from behind, not knowing what their daughter was going to do, but they followed subconsciously.
Luna looked at the car, which was still parked there.
In the car, Brown and Philier were each opening a bottle of mineral water to rinse their mouths, when they suddenly saw the little girl from that family rushing towards them.
"Hey Brown, she looks like she's coming for us?"
"Not necessarily. Let's see what she wants to do. We didn't do anything anyway, so we shouldn't be afraid of a little girl."
The little girl ran to the car panting and saw two men in the car looking at her with puzzled expressions.
Before Philier and Brown could react.
“Help~~~!”
The girl's childish scream suddenly soared.
'What the hell! What is she doing!?'
Philier was almost choked by the water. It was the first time for both people in the car to encounter such a situation. They were in a panic and tried to get out of the car.
"Little girl, stop screaming. Tell your uncle what happened?"
"Yes, yes, calm down first, are you feeling unwell?"
“Help me, help me…I’m so scared…!”
Luna started crying while screaming, making the two of them even more confused about what to do.
The Ruby couple in the distance behind them became anxious, thinking that their child had met a bad guy, and ran forward desperately.
"Let Luna go... I'm warning you, I've called the police!"
Mr. Ruby held the phone in his hand and pretended to make a call, but also seemed to be throwing the phone like a weapon.
"Wait a minute, sir! We don't know what happened either. Your daughter just ran over here and yelled for help..."
Brown and Philil were struggling to explain when they suddenly saw the Ruby couple and were both stunned.
What's going on?
How did these two people become like this? Or to exaggerate a little, they look like no human beings at all.
If you encounter something scary at night, there is no need to put on makeup.
Luna walked over to Brown and Filial and grabbed the corners of their clothes.
"Uncle, please save us!"
Is this the life-saving thing?
The Ruby couple were still a little dazed, while Brown and Philier looked at the little girl Luna and her parents with serious faces respectively.
"Sir and Madam, I'm sure you've figured out that this is a misunderstanding!"
Brown looked around as he spoke. The residents around him who had heard the noise also came over to see what was going on. He didn't want to attract attention.
"I was hoping you could come with us for breakfast somewhere so we can get some context."
"Mr. Ruby, do you need any help? Who are these two?"
A strong man with a big beard was leading his pet dog and shouted from a distance, but the dog was hesitant to move forward, so it was a bit like dragging the dog forward.
"Mr. Ruby and Mrs. Ruby, look at the state you are in now. You are almost dead and you don't even know it. If you don't react, we will leave!"
Brown whispered something to the two men and women who had very bad looks on their faces, and winked at Philier, who had already gotten into the car and was about to start it.
“Don’t go!”
Luna suddenly panicked and grabbed Brown's clothes.
The Ruby couple seemed to be awakened from a dream. Thinking back to what happened in the morning, they suddenly felt creepy.
"It's okay Mr. Todd. Luna was in a bad mood and didn't want to go to school. These two helped me stop her."
"Oh, but I see that you two don't look too well, so make sure you get some rest."
The neighbors who were closer just said hello and left, while those who were farther away did not come over.
Brown looked at the people who were walking away. Did they say that Mr. and Mrs. Brown just looked unwell?
"Mr. Brown, if it's convenient for you, please take us to your home."
While they were guarding outside, the monsters had already started to harm people, so there was no point in continuing to guard.
And compared to the monsters that the association had encountered in the past that could easily cause major damage, it shouldn't be too strong to have turned two ordinary people into this state after so long.
…
Although Luna was reluctant, the family of three, plus Brown and Philil, eventually returned home.
Together with the twin brothers and two girls who arrived later, the six people worked in groups of three and searched Ruby's house carefully from top to bottom twice.
But nothing was found.
In the living room, everyone was there, the Ruby family was in the middle, while Brown and the others were sitting or standing casually.
"Luna, do you know something? Do you know where the source is?"
Luna was sitting between Brown and Philil at this time. These uncles and aunts more or less had a flame that could bring her a little warmth, which also made the little girl braver.
She looked upstairs cautiously, then looked at her parents, and finally mustered up the courage.
"Yes, it's the mirror in Mom and Dad's room!"
As soon as the words came out, everyone, including Brown and Philier, felt the temperature in the room drop suddenly, and goose bumps covered their bodies almost instantly.
The light in the room seemed to dim suddenly.
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The whole house was shaking slightly, and the cups on the table, the chandelier above the head of the lamp, and the dishes and knives in the kitchen all made tiny ping-pong noises.
Everyone's reaction seemed to slow down.
"Crack~" a sound like glass breaking came from upstairs.
"Oh...ah...oh..."
“Huh…huh…”
Waves of hoarse roars, like the complaints of dead bones, came from upstairs.
No one in the living room was spared and everyone was unable to move, and the noises were getting closer and closer with the cold air.
"What the hell!"
A feeling of surprise and terror enveloped his whole body. Brown tried hard to take a step, but his leg muscles were tense and he couldn't move.
Philier and the others were just like him, feeling cold all over and covered in cold sweat.
The magic power on the arm emitted high heat but failed to boil and flow immediately like before, only causing a "sizzling" sound around.
“No, don’t come over here! Don’t come over here! Mom, Dad, Uncle, save me…ah…”
Only the little girl was screaming in the living room. Although she could not move, her face was pale and her eyes were looking towards the stairs in fear.
'What?'
Brown and the others tried to move their eyes and scan the stairs, but saw nothing.
“Tear~”
There was a sound like tearing rags, accompanied by Luna's scream. Everyone watched as her body was stretched out and dragged upstairs in a twisted state.
"asshole!!"
The sweat on Brown's face gathered to his chin, dripping down one by one. His muscles bulged and the blue veins were like little snakes licking his body.
The skin appears red with a high body temperature.
"It actually happened right under our noses!"
His lofty ambitions, the promises and confidence he and others had made to the wise man seemed to be ridiculed and trampled upon. The careful waiting over the past few days and his current situation made him feel humiliated like a clown being made fun of!
The magic power on his arm was like burning gunpowder, trapped there and impacted repeatedly, even the color of his pupils turned red.
I am no longer the person I used to be!
“Roar~~” “Bang” “Bang” “Bang” “Bang”…
All the glass and light bulbs in the living room exploded amid the roar!
Boom!
The magic power belonging to the great sage in his arm finally broke through the restraints and flowed into Brown's whole body. With a "hissing" sound, most of his clothes were torn into pieces.
In one tenth of a second.
"Bang~"
A big hole was instantly created in the floor under his feet, and Brown's body exploded like a rocket, rushing upstairs.
With a loud bang, it directly smashed the bedroom door frame.
