Shrek City Outer city, southeast corner, abandoned brick kiln.
This is a more remote and desolate place than the junk yard. Normally, let alone people, even wild dogs are not willing to come.
But today, we welcomed some special "guests" here.
Huo Yuhao stood at the entrance of the cave dwelling, frowning as he looked at the land in front of him that was blackened by soot and reflected a strange halo in the sun.
The mysterious voice just appeared again, telling him to "leave the city and come to the brick kiln in the southeast corner for gifts."
Gift?
What gift?
Huo Yuhao's heart was full of vigilance, but more importantly, it was an... unspeakable expectation.
Because of that mysterious voice, I asked him before if he dared to kill Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng with his own hands to avenge his mother.
Could it be...
Huo Yuhao's heart beat wildly uncontrollably.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then, cautiously, walked into the abandoned kiln area.
The air was filled with a faint smell that was mixed with soot and some kind of old decay.
Broken bricks, broken boards, and rusty ironware were scattered on the ground. The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear the crunching sound of stepping on the broken bricks.
Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, and Spirit Eye Martial Soul turned on quietly. The light golden light flowed deep in his eyes, and his mental power spread like water waves, scanning everything around him vigilantly.
Then, he "saw" it.
In the deepest part of the cave area, in front of the largest abandoned cave dwelling that rises like a hill, there is a person standing.
He was a young man who looked about the same age as him. He was thin and wearing an ordinary black suit. His short black hedgehog hair was tied casually behind his head. He had no expression on his face. He just stood there quietly with his back to him, looking into the depths of the cave.
The most striking thing is that the boy's body exudes an extremely weak Soul Power fluctuation that makes Huo Yuhao's soul tremble.
It was not strong, but a kind of... indescribable, full of two completely opposite atmospheres of destruction and life, contradictory, but perfectly integrated, making him instinctively feel fear and... close to the fluctuations.
Huo Yuhao's footsteps stopped.
He looked at the figure from behind and felt an extremely strange feeling in his heart.
It seems... where have I seen it?
No, I haven't seen it before.
Is it... some kind of deeper, as if blood connection... resonance?
At this moment, the young man slowly turned around.
Huo Yuhao saw his face.
It was a very delicate face, with regular features and clean eyebrows, especially a pair of eyes, which were big and round, as clear as the sky after the rain, somewhat similar to himself...
But those clear eyes, at this moment, the depths of the pupils were shining with scarlet light.
The light was eerie and cold, like burning flames and solidified blood.
In the center of the scarlet light, a dizzyingly complex, dart-shaped black pattern was slowly rotating, exuding a terrifying pressure that made Huo Yuhao's soul tremble, full of destruction and insight.
Huo Yuhao's breathing stopped for an instant.
He stared hard at those eyes, staring at the strange pattern. In his mind, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's frightening voice sounded like thunder:
"Holy shit! What kind of eyes are these?! This Soul Power fluctuation... this mental oppression... are these fucking human eyes?! Little Yuhao, run! Something is wrong with this guy! Something is very wrong!"
Huo Yuhao didn't run.
He stood there, looking at those scarlet, strange eyes, and the strange resonance in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Moreover, he saw behind the young man, deep in the cave, two figures that were tightly tied up by emerald green vines, like silkworm chrysalis, with only their heads exposed.
They are Dai Huabin, and Dai Yueheng.
Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly contracted.
He guessed correctly.
That mysterious voice really captured Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng...
Moreover, it was placed in front of him, like two wrapped and waiting to be unwrapped... gifts.
"Huo Yuhao."
The black-haired boy - Dai Tu, spoke. His voice was calm and gentle, as if he was calling a friend reunited after a long absence, but underneath that calmness was an undisguised, cold scrutiny.
"Come here."
Huo Yuhao's heart beat hard.
He looked at Dai Tu, at those scarlet, monster eyes, and then at the two Distortion faces in the cave that were deformed by fear and anger. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then, raising his feet, he walked step by step in front of Dai Tu.
There was a distance of about three steps between the two.
Eyes facing each other.
The pale golden Spirit Eye and the scarlet Mangekyo looked at each other quietly in the dim cave dwelling.
Huo Yuhao could feel that his face was reflected in those scarlet eyes, and it also reflected... a deep, complicated emotion that he couldn't understand, but that resonated with his soul.
Is it hate? Is it pain? Is it sadness? Or... something else?
"Who... are you?" Huo Yuhao finally spoke, his voice a little dry.
Dai Tu didn't answer, but took out a knife from Storage Soul Tool and handed it over.
It was a very ordinary short knife, about a foot long. The blade glowed with a cold light. The handle was made of simple wood without any decoration.
"Kill them." Dai Tu said, his voice still very calm, as if he was saying "The weather is good today."
Huo Yuhao looked at the knife handed in front of him, and then looked at the two faces in the cave that instantly turned pale because of these words, with eyes full of despair and pleading, and his heart began to beat wildly again.
Kill them?
Now?
Here?
Use this knife?
He dreamed of killing Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng, and he dreamed of avenging his mother. But when the opportunity really appeared in front of him, when the enemy was really tied in front of him like a lamb to be slaughtered, when a knife was really handed to his hand...
But he hesitated.
It's not that I don't dare.
Yes... reason is reminding him.
This is the outer city of Shrek City, an abandoned brick kiln, really remote.
But Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng are the legitimate sons of Duke of White Tiger and the core disciples of the Shrek Academy. They disappeared today. Shrek Academy and White Tiger Duke Mansion will definitely be traced. Once they are found...
Everything he had in the Shrek Academy was over.
His cultivation, his resources, his... future.
It's all over.
Moreover, who is this black-haired boy in front of me? Why are you helping him? What is the purpose? Could it be a trap? Could it be that... you want to borrow his hand to kill Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng, and then frame the blame on him and make him a scapegoat?
Countless thoughts flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind instantly.
He raised his head and looked at Dai Tu, his eyes full of vigilance and doubt.
"Why?" Huo Yuhao asked, his voice a little hoarse, "Who are you? Why do you want to help me? And why... do you want me to kill them with my own hands?"
Dai Tu looked at the vigilance and hesitation in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a cold, sarcastic arc.
"Kill them, and I will tell you." He said, his voice was very soft, but with an unquestionable order. "If you don't kill them, then you will pretend that you have never seen me today. You take your Yangguan Road, and I will cross my single-plank bridge. From now on, there will be no more relations."
