I signed in to the Sunflower Collection at the beginning, and I threw it away

"Where is that child now? I'll go and see." Xu Ling asked again.

Pointing to a house not far away, the old man hesitated and said, "You guys, are you really not afraid? That kid is really evil, you better be mentally prepared."

"Since I'm here, I won't leave until this matter is resolved." Xu Ling smiled, and took Shu Chun to the house.

Chapter 103 Proper Protagonist Character Design

After a while, Xu Ling and Shuchun came to the door of the house that the old man pointed to.

This house is larger than other buildings in the village.

It was obviously a relatively wealthy family, which is probably what the old man said about a well-to-do family.

But the house seemed a little empty and lacking in popularity.

dong dong.

Xu Ling knocked on the door.

After a long time, an old woman opened the door.

She was staggering, her face was pale, and her complexion was weak. It was obvious that the disease had afflicted her body.

Not only her, but the whole house has such an atmosphere.

"Who are you two looking for?" The old woman asked weakly.

Xu Ling could probably guess who the other party was, the mother of the child's dead stepfather.

After the child killed his stepfather, he went on to kill his stepmother and stepfather's parents.

"I want to meet that child, maybe it can resolve the bad luck." Xu Ling said directly.

Unexpectedly, the old woman's complexion changed, she shook her head quickly and said, "Son, what child? I don't know what you are talking about. If it's okay, I'm going to rest. I won't entertain you."

With that said, she was about to close the door.

But her speed couldn't compare to Xu Ling's. In fact, Xu Ling knocked on the door out of politeness. He could just break in or sneak in.

"Wait." Xu Ling pressed the door and said earnestly, "I know you are going to get rid of the child at the right time tonight. Let me take a look, maybe we can find a better way."

"I don't know what you're talking about, I don't have any children at home!" The old woman was visibly panicked and said loudly.

"Wow!!!"

At this moment, the cry of the child resounded from the room.

The old woman's face turned pale, and fear took over her entire face.

"Let me in." Xu Ling emphasized.

The old woman had no choice but to take Xu Ling and Shu Chun into the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xu Ling saw a strange formation. The ground was covered with lines and symbols, a bit like a hexagonal star formation, but slightly different.

The child was placed in the center of the formation, waving his limbs and crying uncontrollably.

"Who taught you this formation?" Xu Ling frowned. He saw the weirdness of this formation, and it was really harmful, and it was definitely not something that ordinary people could do.

"Yes, that fairy drew it by himself, and taught us how to do it. We just need to wait for Tonight to arrive." The old woman said hesitantly.

Xu Ling snorted coldly, "Immortal? I think it's more like a demon. This bastard has other plans."

"Who are you, you are not allowed to insult the immortal!"

At this time, several people came to the yard one after another.

There are men and women, old and young.

They all have one thing in common, that is, their qi and blood are weak and their faces are pale.

The man who spoke, aged in his fifties, seemed to be the head of the family.

It can be seen that he originally had a big frame and looked quite majestic, but due to the illness at this time, he lost weight too quickly, and he is already skinny.

Both eye circles were red and black, and he seemed to be seriously ill, and he was the most serious here.

"My name is Xu Ling. I passed by here and found that something is wrong with this village, so after the investigation, I came to you to check the situation." Xu Ling said sincerely.

The Patriarch coughed a few times, waved his hands impatiently and said, "There's nothing here, you can leave quickly!"

"I won't leave until the matter is resolved." Xu Ling said seriously.

"Hmph!" Patriarch said very displeased: "You insulted the immortal just now, and I haven't troubled you yet."

"Isn't he just like me, just a passerby, why do you respect him so much?" Xu Ling asked very puzzled.

The head of the family said lightly: "If it wasn't for the fairy's clever calculations, he came up with a solution for us, we might all be killed by this child. Before I change my mind, you'd better disappear quickly, or I will put your disrespectful Tell the immortals the words, and you won't be able to eat and walk away."

Xu Ling pondered for a while holding his chin, and suddenly said: "If I tell you, your son, that is, the stepfather who died of the child, and the diseases of your family are all very likely caused by that fairy. Yes, don't you believe it?"

The Patriarch's expression changed immediately, "What do you mean by that? The immortal just happened to pass by, for no reason, why did he harm us? Besides, when the immortal arrived in the village, my son had already passed away, and the time was not right."

"Then can you tell me how long the difference is?" Xu Ling said with a smile.

The Patriarch hesitated for a while: "...Ten days, what's wrong?"

"Let me ask one last question. Did your son die because of a disease or an accident?" Xu Ling asked.

This family has not yet overcome the pain of losing their loved ones, and their expressions are a little painful.

"It was an accident, he fell off a cliff and died." The Patriarch sighed and closed his eyes.

"This is just in time." Xu Ling clapped his hands, "The Immortal killed your son ten days ago and made you suffer from a sudden illness, and then came forward and asked you to deal with it according to his method. Son, this way, no one will suspect him."

"But why did he do this?" The head of the family got excited and said loudly: "If he wants a child, we can give it to him, or even pay him back! Why do you want to kill people! Why do you want to kill us? Our family has done good for generations, helped Neighbor, you have never done anything evil, the immortal has no reason to harm us, you are clearly talking nonsense!"

"He doesn't just want to harm your family, he wants to slaughter the entire village, that's the formation in the yard." Xu Ling pursed her lips.

Everyone followed his gaze and were stunned.

"If I'm not mistaken, this formation will be activated if Zizheng is upright tonight. At that time, it's not the children who will die, but the lives of all of you in the village."

"And that child will absorb the souls of the whole village, degenerate into a devil boy, and become a machine that only knows how to kill."

After a pause, Xu Ling pondered: "A person who can do such a thing is really not worthy of being called a fairy, but it reminds me of the usual style of the Soul Palace."

Hearing those words, everyone shuddered and got goosebumps.
