I was so frightened that I took a step back, trying to stay away from this madman.

When he was roaring, I clearly saw a row of terrifying red teeth exposed in his mouth.

Yes, it's red.

What can you eat to turn your teeth so red?

Why didn't he ask me that question?

Why does getting "solitary" mean it's over?

And look at the layout of this shabby place and the small stone table in the middle... Could it be that some mysterious ceremony is being held?

Did my action break something and ruin his good deeds?

I want to know who he is, why he lives here, and how to get out of this place.

But seeing his frantic look, I didn't dare to ask anything.

A series of questions kept lingering on my lips.

I want to run away.

But if we keep running like this, when will it end?

There is a vampire and a madman living in a village with a bigger hand. How long can I run away?

If I don't solve this problem, I will be killed by them sooner or later, right?

And Xiaoyan wrote my name in the diary today!!

No matter, the madman in front of me definitely knows some secrets about this village.

Now, I can only start from him.

"You..." I held it in for a long time, and just as I was about to step forward and say a few words to ease the atmosphere, the man suddenly squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

His cries were extremely pitiful. Although he was the only one crying, the echo from the surrounding clearings and woods gave me the feeling that the whole country was wailing, as if thousands of innocent ghosts were fueling his momentum.

, the cry was shocking, and my heart was beating rapidly due to him.

Is this still human crying...?

Just by this cry that shocked the world, I started to believe that maybe he really knew some magic, maybe he really wanted to recruit a disciple, maybe I could really escape with this magic.

But why did the person who promised him fall dead immediately?

No matter, if you take a step forward, you will die, and if you take a step back, you will die. If you go forward, there may be hope, but if you go back, you will never be saved!!

I gritted my teeth, braved the danger of bursting my eardrums, walked up to the lunatic, and shouted to him loudly:

"Hey, please teach me spells!!"

Hearing my voice, the man's crying suddenly stopped.

His shrill cries were still echoing in the woods over and over again.

But the echo gradually faded away, until finally, there was no sound at all.

The man raised his head and looked at me for a long time, then suddenly sighed and said: "Although you have paid the price of learning magic, I am not in the mood to teach you now. You can go." With that, he stood up, as if ready to

To leave.

You kicked me out without saying anything? You are so unreasonable!!

I stopped him in a hurry and asked: "What do you mean I have paid the price of learning magic? When did I pay it? Why didn't I know?"

The man looked back at me, shook the note in his hand, and said one word: "Lonely."

Then he pointed to a bowl on the stone table with his index finger and said: "Yao."

Finally, he pointed to the remaining bowl and shouted: "Poverty."

At this moment, the piece of paper in his hand suddenly burst out with sparks, and in the blink of an eye it was burnt to ashes.

I looked at the two bowls on the stone table, but didn't see any reaction.

Maybe there are two pieces of paper burning in the bowl? I thought to myself.

"What do these three words mean?" I asked him puzzledly.

The man glanced at me, seemed to hesitate for a while, and then said to me: "There is a price to pay for learning spells. The spell itself is a special ability that you exchange for something you own from heaven and earth. And when a person loses

The state behind all precious things is to be alone, young and poor."

"Still don't understand." I shook my head and said. He talked for a long time and still couldn't explain the meaning of these three words to me. Is he deliberately hiding something from me?

The man ignored me and continued: "Loneliness means that you have been away from your relatives all your life. You have no relatives, friends, lovers, and no descendants."

After hearing what he said, I only had a wry smile in my heart.

TM I don’t have anything I want now. All my relatives and friends are dead, and my girlfriend is deliberately trying to harm me. I am already in a state of "alone". This price may be high for others, but for me

But there was basically no loss.

"As for Yao..." The man seemed hesitant, but finally said it, "It means that the moment you learn the spell, you will die."

Fallen to death!?

His words made me feel a little scared.

I now somewhat understand that the ritual he just arranged may have been prepared for me. I was somewhat inexplicable but luckily got the "lone" who was in a similar state to me now, but those who agreed to learn magic before were not as good as me.

As luck would have it, they all drew "Yao" and died immediately.

But it’s not such a coincidence, right?

Or is there some kind of behind-the-scenes operation going on here?

Thinking of this, I felt scared and looked at the man with some doubts.

He gritted his teeth, as if he was fighting some kind of struggle in his heart. After a while, he said to me: "I will take away the life span of those who draw 'Yao', but their life span of several decades will be taken away by me."

In your hands, it can only be kept for a few years."

I instantly understood the meaning of his words, pointed my finger at him angrily, and cursed loudly: "You... you just want to have a few years of life to make everyone who learns magic from you die!?"

A scum like you...I..."

Unexpectedly, after he heard my accusation, not only did he not feel ashamed, but he shouted at me loudly: "You think I want to do this!? Do you know how much life I will lose if I cast a spell!? But my daughter

...She is half dead now, what do you want me to do? I can only find a way to extend her life..."

"Your daughter? What's wrong with her?" Hearing his somewhat sad and angry words, I suddenly didn't know how to answer, so I could only follow his words and ask him.

The man calmed down and said to me slowly: "One night a few years ago, when my daughter was coming home from school, she was suddenly attacked by someone unknown. When I arrived, she was already dead.

But I was her father, how could I let her die in front of me? So, that night, I killed a person. I used that person's lifespan to extend my daughter's life. But this method of extending life cannot be done once and for all.

When the Yangshou that I took away is used up, I will go and get the Yangshou to renew it for her. I put her at home, and I did the magic here to renew her life. But a few days ago, when I went home to visit my daughter

, was suddenly attacked by a corpse. I couldn't deal with him, so I had no choice but to take her and escape here. I don't know who the master was who couldn't get along with me, and insisted on using such extreme methods to harm my daughter.

!?"

Originally I just listened to his story silently, but when I heard the last sentence "attacked by a corpse", a person suddenly flashed in my mind and I hurriedly asked him: "Is your name Hu Wenyuan?"

The man was startled, looked at me with wide eyes, and said, "How did you know?"

Sure enough, I guessed it right!!

He is the owner of that haunted house!!

This is easy to handle. The information I have about him now is enough to fool him into not even being able to find his home.

Anyway, he has deceived a lot of people, so it’s not an exaggeration for me to deceive him once, right?

I said to him with some joy: "You don't have to worry about it. If you are really Hu Wenyuan, I may be able to help you find the person who harmed your daughter."

"What are you going to do?" Hu Wenyuan glanced at me hesitantly, then gritted his teeth and said, "To be honest, after so many years, I have also looked away. My daughter will not survive, but the person who harmed my daughter,

I absolutely can’t let him go!!!”

"Well," I nodded and said, "my father is a policeman. Your case is almost over. The murderer has been basically identified. All that's left is to arrest him."

"Really!?" Hu Wenyuan's face was obviously excited, but then it dimmed and said, "It's a pity that I can't leave this village now, otherwise how can I make him feel better!?"

"What!?" My heart started beating wildly again when I heard his last sentence, and I screamed, "You can't get out either!?"

MD can't even get out of Hu Wenyuan, so I'm trying to trick him for some purpose?

Hu Wenyuan shook his head and said: "This village was set up with a magic circle a long time ago. I could come in and out at will before. But when I escaped with my daughter a few days ago, the power of the magic circle suddenly became stronger.

, I tried many times and couldn’t get out at all.”

My heart suddenly felt cold.

"Is there no other way?" I asked him still unwilling to give up.

"Yes," Hu Wenyuan said with a haggard face, "but it's the same as nothing. If the person who cast the spell can be killed, this magic circle should be automatically lifted. But with my body that has been using forbidden magic for many years, there is no need for it at all.

Use some powerful spell to fight against him."

"You can teach me, right?" I was so anxious that I went crazy.
