Midnight Offering: Hades’s Little Pet

Chapter 157: 157 The tombkeeper's appeal for help

Views:

Chris wanted to settle the score with An Xuan first, but when he saw his exhausted appearance, his heart softened, and he didn't make trouble first, and he also noticed the situation in the cemetery.

I asked worriedly: "What about Grandpa An and the others?"

An Xuan shook his head and sighed: "I picked them all up and sent them to the hospital."

"What did you say? Hospital?" I exclaimed. Is it so serious that I have to be sent to the hospital

This can't help but remind me of the incident in Room 402, Grandpa An, who lost his vitality in order to save An Yu and Situ Jing.

It seems that An Yu and Situ Jing are still on their honeymoon. The call that called An Xuan away was from An Yu. Could it be that they are also here

"Can you tell me what's going on?" Chris asked with a solemn expression. An Xuan raised his eyelids, looked at us silently, and then waved to us.

"You guys come with me first."

In fact, I really don't want to take a step closer to this cemetery. It's so gloomy here that I keep nauseating. I always feel that there is something in my stomach that is turning upside down and will rush out of my mouth at any time.

Naturally, the pervert noticed my ugly face and asked, "I'll take you back first, I shouldn't have let you come here, Hua'er."

Just as I was about to shake my head, a middle-aged man in very simple clothes came over. There was no grass growing on his shiny head, and his black eyes were full of chaos without any light.

My attention was directly attracted by him, I tugged on the sleeve of the pervert, and pointed to the ruby bracelet on my wrist.

I remember that this bracelet can slightly suppress the influence of Yin Qi on me. The pervert looked at me quietly for a long time, and finally stretched out his finger helplessly, and touched the red jade bracelet, and the feeling of turbulence in my stomach was relieved a lot.

But my back was already full of sweat because of enduring physical discomfort.

He stood at the door of the stone arch, looking at us from a distance.

When An Xuan saw him, a hatred flashed in his eyes, but this light was quickly suppressed by him.

"Who is this… "

Chris noticed the man and wondered.

"This is the gravekeeper here, named Xu Mang, and this time he is the one who turned to us to settle down."

Gravekeeper

Also, his surname is Xu

Don't blame me for thinking of going to the sparsely populated Xu family, there can be no such coincidence in the world.

There is only one possibility, the tomb guard is the descendant of that lonely family.

"His name is Xu Mang? Then he is from that family?" I asked, An Xuan seemed a little surprised, Chris frowned, and walked to Xu Mang's side.

"You entrusted An's family?"

The man looked a little nervous, not only nervous, when he saw Chris approaching me, I could clearly see his legs moved back a lot.

"Yes... yes, it's me..."

He is obviously a big man, and his body is not small, but why does he keep shrinking back like a frightened rabbit.

A look of fear and fear.

Chris also felt his uneasiness, and put away his cold expression, with a gentle gentleman's smile on his face: "Can you tell us about the situation in detail?"

He trembled again, and moved his feet back a few steps. His voice was very soft, and if he wasn't very close, no one would be able to hear what he said.

"Are you and those ghost exorcists together..."

When I saw him like this, I didn't know why I felt an unknown fire in my heart.

He entrusted An's family to exorcise ghosts. Now that Grandpa An and the others are in the hospital, Chris came to help, but he hesitated for a long time without explaining the matter clearly.

How it is together, and what not.

Isn't his purpose to disperse the guys in the cemetery, so what are you still talking about? His name is Xu Mang, but he is really cowardly.

It's not asking him to exorcise ghosts, just asking him to talk about the general situation, he can hum for a long time, but can't say a word.

An Xuan said directly to Xu Mang: "You just say it all, completely, don't hold back a little bit." What he said next made the unknown fire in my heart suddenly rush to the top of my head.

"If you hadn't concealed something at the time, how could my grandfather be so seriously injured!"

What? What does An Xuan mean by this sentence

Xu Mang immediately shrank back behind the pillar. I was already very uncomfortable affected by Yin Qi, and my temper was also very angry. Now I heard this news, and I was even more furious.

Could it be that Grandpa An was able to go to the hospital without being injured, because the client concealed the situation in the cemetery, which caused the failure of the exorcism ceremony

No wonder, no wonder he trembled when he spoke, he didn't dare to say this sentence, he didn't dare to say that sentence.

He kept asking Chris and Grandpa An if they were together, because they co-authored because they were afraid of reprisals.

My idea was completely correct. When Xu Mang heard An Xuan's questioning, the frightened middle-aged man knelt down on the ground, his legs seemed to have been exhausted, and he fell limply on the ground. side.

"sorry Sorry!"

"What's the use of being sorry now? Why don't you explain the situation clearly, how can we help you if you don't explain clearly?"

An Xuan's tone was also very aggressive. It seemed that his tiredness and ugly face were not only due to the cemetery incident, but a large part of the reason was due to Grandpa An.

Chris' calm face suddenly lost its good look, his cold expression, and his light green pupils with fine lines stared at the man on the ground.

"explain."

His tone was a bit aggressive, Xu Mang was sweating profusely, and after dawdling for a while, he got up from the ground in fear, bent over, hunchbacked, stretched out his finger and pointed in one direction.

"You... come with me first."

After speaking, the soles of his feet seemed to be oiled, and he quickly left in the direction he pointed.

"Go, let's follow."

Chris said, he took his long legs and chased after him. I wanted to run too, but who knew, as soon as my feet were off the ground, the pervert grabbed my waist and walked a few meters away. up.

An Xuan crushed the cigarette butt on the bottom of his feet again, picked up the bag on the ground, and trotted after him.

The pervert was very fast, and when he caught up with Xu Mang, the building in front of me made my eyes widen.

Here, there is actually a tower.

That's right, when I stood at the circular stone arch just now, I didn't see this tower.

The luxuriant towering trees next to it directly covered the tower.

I saw that there was a high wall surrounding the tower, and the plaque hanging on the door was so decayed that I couldn't see what was written on it.

But I can vaguely see a word "Xu", it seems that this should be the original address of Xu's family.

Could this matter be the same as Yang Yi's old Lejia site

I think so in my heart, but I know that there are still differences in the essence of things.

He opened the door and invited us in. There are many small courtyards and several vacant houses in the yard. It seems that the Xu family was quite a big family at that time.

"It's a long story."

Xu Mang worked directly in the living room on the ground floor of the tower. The interior decoration of the tower was still the same as it was at that time, but the things became dilapidated and dilapidated due to the passage of time.

"It's a long story to make a long story short."

I said eagerly, now is definitely not the time to listen to him tell a long story, I just want to know what happened in the Zulin cemetery here.

And what did this descendant of the Xu family hide from Grandpa An and the others at that time to cause the current consequences

An Xuan leaned against the doorway and continued to smoke, while Chris was in a state of vigilance after entering the tower, and I could even feel his body tense because of vigilance.

Xu Mang touched his greasy bald head with a dejected look on his face: "Actually... Actually..."

He started to falter again, I really, when I hear him like this, I get angry.

"Actually what, tell me."

When Xu Mang was forced to question me, there was another glistening layer of sweat on his forehead.

"Actually... I know the guy in the cemetery."

"boom!"

Suddenly there was a loud noise from the door, An Xuan clenched his hands into fists, and slammed on the door panel, I even saw some sawdust falling to the ground from where he slammed.

"Asshole, is this how you played tricks on us to settle down?! You know, so that's why you concealed the truth from us! Deliberately falsely reported the facts and caused my family to be so seriously injured!"

This is the first time I've seen An Xuan look furious. He squeezed the lighted cigarette in his palm and kneaded it into a ball. He didn't seem to be able to feel the temperature of sparks. With force, he squeezed out the cigarette.

I was still wondering why it took until now to find someone to solve it. The Xu family was almost destroyed before someone proposed to deal with the cemetery.

Xu Mang looked wronged and annoyed, and he shouted contradictoryly: "I don't want to hide it, but... But he is my ancestor! He is the great ancestor who established our Xu family! How can I... How can I..."

I suddenly snorted and said, "Since you said he was the ancestor of your family, why do you want to drive him away now? You can definitely keep him."

The specific situation of the Xu family, I only know a little bit from the encyclopedia, but it is not detailed.

An Xuan interrupted Xu Mang's words before he could express them, so I could only get some information from some of his words.

The difficult guy in the cemetery should be the soul of the Xu family's ancestors.

I also thought about the information I saw on the encyclopedia, and I always felt that the records on the encyclopedia about this Zulin cemetery and the Xu family were not true. May differ from actual conditions.

"You also said that there are only ordinary evil spirits inside. Let's drive them away, and Grandpa will prepare a more ordinary ceremony. Who knows, that guy has already practiced for a hundred years!"

Chris rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said in a weak tone, "The point is, there is more than one hundred-year-old practice there now."

I suddenly thought of what An Xuan said before.

The exorcism ceremony failed, and something else was attracted.

That sense of unease broke out quickly and grew wildly in my heart.
