Twilight Speaker

Chapter 205 Birthday, Forbidden Scholar and White Star Country (Two in One)

Time passed quickly, and ten days passed in a flash.

During these ten days, Chen Xiang did not do too many chores. He stayed at home all the time, accompanying his elder sister and second brother.
Captain Ghost, Primal Fear and others also settled down in the villa and got along well with each other. Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.

July 4, late.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you"

The lights in the living room were dim, with a few candles lit. A withered old man wearing a birthday hat stood in front of the table.

On the side, the eldest sister, the second brother, Wang Muyu, Lu Sangdou, and two forbidden lives were all singing the birthday song.

Well, everything else was fine, but when the two taboos started singing, the ghost captain's shrill voice like a ghost's cry, and the hoarse voice that could awaken the deep darkness of primitive fear, made the already dim environment seem even more gloomy.
If the two of them had not tried their best to restrain themselves and turned into ordinary people at this moment, just this humming would be enough to set off a spiritual storm in the entire great city!
As the birthday song sang, Chen Shaoyan stood beside the withered old man, pointing at the '25' on the cake and complaining:

"Look at you, you don't look like you're 25 at all. Even if you reverse the numbers, it's still 52, which is far from it!"

Chen Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"sister"

"You're still calling me sister!" Chen Shaoyan felt a little toothache: "You're calling me old! Look at your appearance, you must be over a hundred years old, but I'm only in my thirties, in my prime!"

Although she was complaining, a look of heartache appeared on her face and she was obviously sad.

Chen Xiang smiled even more bitterly. During these ten days, no matter how he explained, his elder sister and second brother just didn't believe that he was fine.
But when I think about it, I do look a little scary.

After the birthday song was sung, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Xiang, and Chen Shaoyan smiled widely:

"Blow out the candles! Cut the cake!"

Chen Xiang smiled gently, holding a knife, and was about to make a wish and blow out the candles when a gust of wind blew.

"This is."

Lu Sangdou blinked:
"Evil spirits invading?"

As he spoke, the candle flames suddenly grew, burning Chen Xiang's face. A cold wind blew, accompanied by ghost cries, wails, and screams.
"There's something wrong with this candle." Lu Sangdou said cheerfully, "Who bought it? Hmm, it's hard to judge!"

The ghost wind became more violent, and the candlelight turned a dark color. Between the dark flames, ghost shadows were looming!

Everyone looked at each other.

…………

long street.

"I don't know how many evil fire candles have been sold. This is a big problem. I suggest notifying the officials of the Great City immediately."

A middle-aged man looked serious:

“This is no longer something we can resolve.”

On the side, the witch dressed as an exorcist shook her head:

"Great City won't care. This is the Sixth Ring. As far as I know, Great City has been considering abandoning the Sixth Ring as well. It would be strange if they would care about these evil incidents!"

After a pause, the witch frowned and said:
"We must find the person behind the scenes, but we have to be careful. He has sold countless evil candles and devoured countless souls through the candles. He may be terribly powerful now. Do you want to withdraw?"

The middle-aged man shook his head:
"Find him and kill him. This is the duty of our Secret Society, huh?"

His nose twitched suddenly:
"Evil fire, I smell the scent of evil fire, it's right there!"

The middle-aged man pointed to a villa not far away, and the witch's expression changed slightly:

"I feel it too. Such a strong evil aura. Could it be that the person behind the scenes is personally directing the evil to come? Let's go!"

The two looked at each other, and without hesitation, they rushed towards the villa. After a few leaps, they were already close.
They didn't have time to go through the main entrance, so they both jumped straight up, their bodies rose high, smashed the window on the second floor, and stood in it!
"This is."

The middle-aged man's face changed slightly. In this room, there were eight young men and women lying in a mess. They were all in a coma and their spirituality was extremely weak!
"Something has happened!"

He drew out his scimitar and without bothering to check the conditions of the unconscious people, he chopped down the door and rushed out with the witch. Following the evil fire and evil spirits, he jumped down from the second floor and landed in the living room on the first floor!
As soon as she landed, the witch looked up and saw several young men and women of various shapes and sizes. In the middle was a skinny old man wearing a birthday hat, and in front of the old man was a several-meter-high dark evil fire!
"spread!"

The witch roared, but the ordinary people did not move, and their expressions seemed to be weirder than each other.
She was anxious and without thinking much, she sprinkled a handful of silver powder, chanted a spell, caused lightning to flash, and struck towards the dark evil fire!

The middle-aged exorcist was also unambiguous. A light flashed on the scimitar in his hand, and silver runes appeared one after another on the blade.

The scimitar flew through the air, cutting the flame in half right down the middle, but the ghost fire did not go out, instead it surged! !

"Oh shit!"

Middle-aged people change color:
"What a stroke of luck! This is the [Main Candle]! Be careful, the [Main Candle] corresponds to the evil god worshipped by the person behind the scenes - this might be a small-scale descent of the gods!"

"I know!"

The witch also looked unhappy. She took out a handful of exorcism items from her arms one after another. As she did so, she yelled at those guys:

“Back off! Back off! Back off!!”

The seven people looked at each other, and the withered old man wearing the birthday hat took the first few steps.

Upon seeing this, the others also retreated with strange expressions.

In this way, the area around the round table suddenly became empty. The middle-aged exorcist took out a dazzling compass and turned it violently, tearing a piece of space apart.

The rift leads to the knowledge dimension, where a huge amount of information gushed out, dimming the candlelight a little.
The witch was unwilling to be left behind. She held an ancient book in her hands and flipped it open. A mumbling voice full of forbidden knowledge rang out.

One after another, tamed demons of knowledge emerge!

"go with!"

The witch was anxious, the demons of knowledge were baring their fangs and claws, pressing towards the candle flame, and the candle was raging again, with a low laugh coming from it!

"I am here at this moment, here at this place. I am the master of knowledge, holding the tide of information. Everything I see is taboo."

Low laughter accompanied by whispers detonated a massive amount of forbidden knowledge. Demons of knowledge walked out of the flames one after another and tore those knowledge demons tamed by the witch into pieces!

"Oops!"

The witch looked pale:

"It's not an evil god, it's a forbidden scholar, a sealed forbidden scholar. He is trying to break the seal and come out. Old Li, we can't let him succeed!"

"I know!" The middle-aged exorcist called Lao Li was sweating profusely, sprinkling silver powder crazily, and yelled at the people watching the excitement:
"Leave immediately and go to the Public Security Bureau. Have the sheriffs go to the Secret Investigation Department and tell them that an evil spirit incident has broken out!"

The people watching the fun looked at each other, and no one moved.

"you!"

Old Li was furious, thinking that these civilians were probably mentally ill. Of course, it was also possible that they were frightened silly, or their souls had been corroded by the forbidden scholar sealed in the evil fire candle!

The situation couldn't be worse.

The ghostly fire burned fiercely, and the one hiding inside laughed softly:
"It's too late. It's too late."

"I"

“It’s out.”

The next moment.

The phantom fire was torn apart from the inside, and a forbidden scholar wearing gold-rimmed glasses and surrounded by countless runes slowly walked out of it.

The Forbidden Scholar is a type of extraordinary life form. To put it more commonly, it is the [Knowledge Demon] who has embarked on the long steps to godhood.

"It's over!"

Old Li and the witch looked pale as they struggled to resist the vast forbidden knowledge. They were both traumatized and completely unable to move. They were both in despair!
Their hearts went cold, the chill started from their tailbone and surged through their entire bodies in an instant. The witch sighed:

"That's too late."

She closed her eyes.

The worst has happened, the forbidden scholar has been sealed.
Coming!

The whole villa was slightly twisted, and the forbidden scholar stepped out of the candlelight, his face intoxicated:

“I’m back again.”

He looked around and licked his lips:
"Very good, very good. I just came back and there are so many blood offerings. Although it is not enough for a full meal, it is enough as an appetizer and dessert." "Ahem."

He was interrupted by a cough.

The taboo scholar was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways in surprise, and saw a withered old man wearing a birthday hat, who seemed to be dying.

It even looked like he was already dead. There was no sign of life in his body. He was very dry and had no flesh or blood left!

"Today is my birthday."

The skinny old man spoke patiently:
"I don't want to see blood, go back."

The taboo scholar blinked. Not far away, Old Li and the witch were frozen in place and looked at each other in confusion.

"well."

They saw another woman who looked very charming but also a little cold, speaking:
"This is the Forbidden Scholar, an advanced level of the Demon of Knowledge. Well, it has no physical form and no blood."

The skinny old man was stunned:
"Well, that seems to be the case."

The taboo scholar frowned suddenly:
“You guys.”

Before he finished speaking, he saw the skinny old man reaching out to grab him.

The forbidden scholar was furious, and crazy whispers broke out all over his body, containing endless forbidden knowledge, each of which was enough to drive an ordinary person insane and degenerate into a knowledge demon!

But the skinny old man didn't seem to be affected at all. He stretched out his dry, almost bloodless hand tremblingly.

The taboo scholar had a bad feeling in his heart, and his spirit suddenly began to frantically warn him.
He wanted to dodge, but was shocked to find that the withered palm occupied his entire vision, covering everything. No matter where he ran, he was always within the range of that palm!

"I"

The forbidden scholar exclaimed, and felt his vision suddenly darken. Under the dull gaze of the exorcist and the witch named Li,

This forbidden scholar at the pseudo-god level was picked up by the skinny old man like a chick.

The old man smacked his lips, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then he rolled the terrified forbidden scholar into a ball, and then
Stuffed into the cake.

The three-meter-tall forbidden scholar was strangely stuffed into a twelve-inch cake.

Moreover, He was not compressed, and His three-meter body was contained in a twelve-inch cake. This sense of weirdness, abruptness, and conflict made the witch and the exorcist feel dizzy.

"The Knowledge Demon tastes pretty good."

The withered old man smiled and said:
"I haven't eaten Forbidden Scholar, but it shouldn't be much worse. I think it's even more delicious. You should try it. It can nourish the spirit and strengthen the will. It's a rare delicacy."

While talking,
Chen Xiang blew lightly at the candle, and the candle went out, with smoke rising up. The middle-aged man with primitive fear turned on the light, and the dark room suddenly became bright.

"Let's cut the cake!" Chen Shaoyan smiled happily, as if he didn't care about the sudden change in the other party - it wasn't worth caring about.

Chen Xiang raised the knife, gestured at the cake, and cut it hard.

"do not want!"

The forbidden scholar imprisoned in the cake let out a cry of fear, and was then split into two, with his life force suddenly disappearing.

Chen Xiang cut the cake into ten neat pieces with a few quick cuts and handed one piece to each person.
After thinking for a while, he waved to the two outsiders and smiled happily:

"You are a guest. Today is my birthday. Would you like to have a cake with me?"

Old Li and the witch swallowed their saliva and then realized that they could move freely. They looked at each other in a trance, and walked forward subconsciously while stammering.

Chen Xiang generously handed the two pieces of cake containing some forbidden scholars to the two people, and took a bite himself:
"Yes, Not Bad."

At the side, the young ghost captain also nodded slowly:
"It's really good. This Forbidden Scholar is the finishing touch. It melts in the mouth, with the sweet taste of knowledge and the rich breath of the soul. I have to go back to the White Star Country to catch more Forbidden Scholars."

The witch's hands and feet were cold, and her heart was beating violently. What kind of monsters were these? ?
She took a trembling bite of the cake, and the huge spiritual body indeed melted in her mouth, and her own spiritual will was surging!

The witch was stunned for a moment, then wolfed down the piece of cake.

"All right."

She saw the scary skinny old man sitting on the sofa, looking at her with interest:

"You are?"

The witch shuddered and spoke tremblingly:
"To answer your question, my name is Miko. I am Miko, my name is also Miko, my last name is Wu, his is Li Quan, we, we are from the secret society of White Star Country"

At the side, the middle-aged exorcist named Li Quan swallowed his saliva and said with a trembling voice:
"We came to the Great City to investigate an evil candle incident. Our original intention was to exorcise evil spirits. We have absolutely no evil intentions. I hope you can understand!"

"The Secret Society?"

Chen Xiang became even more excited:

"Your Saint is called Li Xiaotong? How is she now?"

Li Quan and the witch looked at each other in astonishment.
After a moment of silence, the latter replied tremblingly:

"We don't know the name of this Saint, nor can we contact her. For now, we don't know the specific situation of the Saint."

After a pause, the witch hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously:

"Do you know our Saint?"

"know."

Chen Xiang smiled and nodded:

"White Star Country is also good."

He pondered for a moment, then turned his head to his elder sister and said:
"Sister, I plan to go to the White Star Country."

Li Quan and the witch widened their eyes - that young and short looking woman was the sister of this elderly man who was unknown how old he was? ?

The two shuddered violently again, realizing that everyone here was probably beyond the limits of their imagination!

Could it be that there is a group of terrorists hiding here?
Chen Shaoyan frowned at this time, obviously very unhappy:
"You've only been back for a few days, and you're going on a long trip again?"

"This time it's quick."

Chen Xiang smiled and said:
"The four-dimensional true gods will arrive at the end of the month, so I must hurry back. There are still about twenty days left, so I will be back in half a month at the latest."

"half a month"

Chen Shaoyan hesitated for a moment and sighed:
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home?"

"Well, there will be no accidents this time." Chen Xiang said confidently. In today's reality, there is no thing or person that can give him a 'surprise'.

He can say that there is no one who can rival him.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xiang said:

"It just so happens that I think Xiao Wei and the others will also wake up at the end of the month. If it's faster, it will take a week, if it's later, it will take half a month. I will be back."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young ghost captain on the side spoke cheerfully:
"If it's White Star Country, can I come with you? I plan to go there to catch some forbidden scholars. This stuff is surprisingly delicious. It's a good snack."

"Okay."

Chen Xiang nodded slightly and looked sideways at Primal Fear:
"Lao Dao, you stay here and look after my sister and the others. Leave a crow for me. If there is any emergency, contact me directly and I will be back in an instant."

"no problem."

Primal Fear nodded simply, and under the horrified gazes of Li Quan and the witch, it returned to its original form and transformed into a three-meter-tall deep scarecrow.

He waved his hand, and an angel-level death-announcer bird split out from his body. After a "crackling" sound, the death-announcer bird flew and landed on Chen Xiang's shoulder.

After petting the little crow, Chen Xiang yawned:

"It's getting late today. Let's go to White Star Country tomorrow."

After a pause, he looked sideways with interest and said:
"You two together? We just happen to be in need of a guide."

Li Quan and the witch shuddered, nodded timidly, and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.
