Volume 2 Chapter 59 Dreams of the Past & "Book of the Dead"

But the man obviously didn't listen to what this strange lonely ghost said.

That barrier is not one of his methods, it is just one of the methods used to capture the target...a gentle method.

"I've never heard of a tribunal, but if you don't mind, I have a kind of fire that can burn you." The man sneered, and the crystal that had been prepared in his palm suddenly shot out like a bullet.

The crystal particles shot out have the power to penetrate a one centimeter thick steel plate!

Normal dynamic vision cannot capture their trajectories at all!

But at the moment when these crystal particles were about to penetrate the black-robed figure in front of them, it suddenly turned into a black smoke and dispersed!

Scattered, the crystal particles penetrated through, and reunited... Just like that, it easily dodged the attack.

Only then did the man realize a hint of danger, but he still remained calm, and a large number of crystals slipped from his sleeves again. His lips opened and closed rapidly, and he kept his body moving back rapidly...but he had to stop.

It's only five steps away.

This thing wearing a black robe and with eyes like a black cat appeared directly in front of the man at some point... almost touching him.

"That's why I said you're half-baked, jie-jie-jie... A top-notch magician can't recite a spell for more than one second!"

The crystal was still entangled in the man's palm, but a huge gash had opened in his chest!

The man's consciousness seemed to come to his senses at this time. He lowered his head subconsciously and looked at the horrific wounds on his body... but he frowned, "Who are you?"

He is staring.

His body was completely crystallized at this moment, and then scattered into crystal particles like broken tempered glass.

Those crystal particles were still bouncing off the ground, and it was wearing a black robe... She, Black Soul No. 18, let out that eerie laugh again, "It's not bad for a half-assed person, at least it knows how to use this kind of substitute magic." .”

This man, from the very beginning... was not his true form.

But Black Soul No. 18 has no intention of chasing down where this man's real body is hiding. She always puts the work that needs to be done first.

This man would run away in fear after this time and never show up again, which would save her trouble.

But if he still insisted on coming back again and again, it wouldn't be a big deal to her.

Because, whether it's a substitute or a real person appearing here, it's just a slap in the face.

If one slap can't solve the problem, then give it two slaps.

It's that simple.

What's important is that the dream she constructed has never been shaken from the beginning...it belongs to the financial owner's past dream.

She turned into a shadow again and sneaked into the deserted alley.

"Jiejiejie..."

…

The only thing that makes Zhao Ru feel a sense of belonging is that she has earned more than half of the money for building this two-story house in the village through working over the years.

In the next year, a third floor will be added here.

Looking at it from a distance, Zhao Ru felt a small sense of satisfaction.

"Hey, Xiaoru, you're back!"

"Long time no see, go home quickly!"

Along the way, there were all the people I knew... Although it was a bit behind here, it was not as deserted as in the city.

Although this is the case, the new year is sad. Behind the smiles of these neighbors, there is some bitterness... Probably everyone has experienced it before.

For those who work outside the home, it is not easy to go home once.

Zhao Ru saw her father, mother, and her brother. This was the only time she saw her family for a whole year.

This should be a New Year’s meal that people will remember for a long time.

"Brother, when will you start school?"

The mother cut off a complete chicken leg for Zhao Ru and put it into the big rooster bowl in front of her. But she looked at her brother with concern.

The younger brother lowered his head to take a few mouthfuls of rice and muttered: "There's no need to start school."

"No need to start school?" Zhao Ru was stunned, but she didn't react.

Father Zhao said at this moment: "Oh, what your brother means is that there is no need to rush to start school, and he can stay with you for a few more days."

Zhao Ru smiled. She felt a little warm, "Silly, when I went to work, you must have not finished the winter vacation. I had to catch the train back on the fifth day of the new year."

Unexpectedly, the younger brother put down his chopsticks at this moment and said, "Dad, can't you just tell me to drop out of school?"

When she said this, Mother Zhao's eyes didn't work... Zhao Ru clearly felt the suddenly uncomfortable atmosphere on the table.

"Drop out?" Zhao Ru paused, not knowing why she felt the urge... She resisted the urge and took a deep breath to calm down, "Why did you drop out? Didn't you study well?"

"Just quit. You won't learn anything anyway." The younger brother said as he ate his food: "The tuition in the junior college is expensive, and there are no good institutions to follow after graduation. I won't study anymore, and I will go out to work early."

"No! No matter how expensive the tuition is, you have been studying for so long!" Zhao Ru said solemnly: "You have to go back to school. You will graduate next year. How can you just drop out of school at this time? After the New Year, I Talk to your school teacher right away! These years of tuition cannot be in vain!"

"No need to tell you." The younger brother shook his head.

Under the table, Zhao's mother kept kicking her brother.

"Is there something else you are hiding from me?" Zhao Ru had already sensed her mother's little move.

"No, no." Mother Zhao said quickly: "Eat, eat! Don't talk about these things during the Chinese New Year. Let's talk about your brother's affairs tomorrow, tomorrow!"

"No! You have to make it clear now." Zhao Ru said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, I won't eat this meal! Okay, you won't tell me, right? I'll ask others, but I don't believe no one knows!"

Seeing Zhao Ru leave the dinner table, Zhao's father slammed some tables and said: "Come back! Isn't that embarrassing enough? Your brother was expelled from school because he hit and injured someone at school! You are making trouble What?"

"Hitting someone?" Zhao Ru suddenly turned around and looked at his younger brother: "Who are you beating? Why are you beating them?"

"They flirted with me first, and the one who flirted with me first is a bitch! He deserves to be beaten to death."

"Will you die if you don't speak?" Zhao's father slapped his younger brother hard on the face and said angrily: "You were admitted to the hospital and paid 30,000 yuan, don't you think it's enough? You want to beat someone to death. You are the only one who feels comfortable, right? You shameless thing!"

"What thirty thousand yuan?" Zhao Ru suddenly looked at her father.

"It's nothing." Father Zhao fell silent for a while, pouring wine and drinking by himself.

"Say! What's 30,000 yuan?" Zhao Ru asked, "Where did the family get so much 30,000 yuan? Tell me! Mom? Tell me!"

"This... I borrowed it from someone."

"Ask who?"

"Ask...ask the person next door..."

"Okay, no need to say anything!" Zhao Ru wiped her face vigorously, "I know where the money came from. I gave it to you, right?"

Mother Zhao suddenly lowered her head.

"That's the money I used to build a house! It's the money you asked me for last time! It's the money you sent me last time saying that the government has subsidies for the third floor I want to add!! I thought... ...I thought..." Zhao Ru suddenly roared: "How stupid I am! I actually believed you!"

"Okay!" Father Zhao said angrily: "What's wrong with giving you 30,000 yuan to help your brother? He is not your relative? Are you only worried about this 30,000 yuan?"

"I won't help him? You said I won't help him?" Zhao Ru pointed at Zhao's father and said angrily: "Who has paid for his tuition in the past few years? This house has a second floor. You said it is for his future." Who paid for the money used to marry a wife? At the beginning...who told me not to go to college and keep the money for him? Who?! You...how could you do this to me? I'm not Your biological one?"

Snapped!

Father Zhao slapped Zhao Ru on the face, widened his eyes and said, "Who taught you this? Are you talking to your father like this!"

Zhao Ru smiled.

She covered her face and smiled, "No one taught me, I learned it myself."

She turned around and returned to the room without saying a word. Soon after, she came out carrying a suitcase and was about to go out.

Mother Zhao said with a crying face: "Xiaoru, don't be like this! If you have something to say, please speak it out. This is your father's temper."

"No need." Zhao Ru breathed slowly and deeply, "I'm not coming back. Keep the chicken legs for your good son to eat."

"Leave!" Father Zhao said angrily: "Leave if you can! After you leave, don't come back again!!"

"Don't worry, I won't come back."

It’s time to set off firecrackers. The sound of New Year’s firecrackers fills every household at the beginning and end of the village.

She didn't come back until this afternoon.

He left in the evening.

…

She suddenly opened her eyes and found that she was breaking out in a cold sweat... But she was still in this simple 'house'.

It wasn't daylight yet, probably still around midnight.

Zhao Ru subconsciously grabbed the crystal necklace she was wearing.

But she found that this crystal did not seem to be able to calm her down quickly and deeply as usual.

…

…

His name is Cao Yu. At least, it hasn't been time for him to change his name since the last time he started using this name.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

And placed in front of him, a crystal figure sculpture carved from crystal suddenly cracked from the middle, and then split into two halves.

Cao Yu frowned. It took him a lot of time and materials to refine this kind of stand-in. The damage to the stand-in obviously caused some mental damage to him.

He instinctively felt something bad...and uneasy.

This was something that had never happened to him since he gained this power. Cao Yu took a deep breath and quickly took out a sealed and heavy ancient book from the drawer.

He began to open the ancient book, hoping to find some clues.

This ancient book is the source of his strength... ever since he accidentally found this ancient book from an antique store when he was studying abroad ten years ago.

His life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

It was as if he was chosen by this ancient book... because he happened to find that he could translate the ancient Egyptian language in this ancient book.

The Book of the Dead. (To be continued.).
