Thick black Qi flickered, and a series of low hissing sounds rang out, accompanied by the indistinct sobbing of the woman.
However, the moment Adil opened the door, everything disappeared. The old house was still in its place, and there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary.
However, looking at the scene before him, Adil could not help but frown and stare at the statue on the wooden table.
"This statue didn't look like this at noon."
He looked at the statue of the woman on the wooden table with a cold look in his eyes.
On the wooden table, the black iron statue was still there. However, compared to when Adil left at noon, there was a slight change.
Compared to the statue as a whole, this change was very subtle. In the eyes of an average person, there was no change and it looked no different from before.
However, in Adil's eyes, this slight change was very obvious and could not be hidden from him at all.
"This woman's appearance has changed a bit."
Walking forward lightly, Adil looked at the statue on the wooden table without the slightest bit of fear. He reached out and picked up the statue.
A chill came from his palm, accompanied by a deeply hidden malice. Adil felt a sense of familiarity.
Adil had felt this malice before. At first, it was on this body, and then it was on this body's father. They both had similar things.
However, compared to the aura that was spreading out from the statue, the remaining malice on these two could only be regarded as frivolous.
"The reason why the original owner of this body died seems to be because he came into contact with this statue before he died."
Looking at the statue in his hand, Adil frowned, "Just what is this thing?"
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but before him, Adil did not hesitate in the slightest. With a shift of his mind, his powerful mental strength forcefully condensed a bit of magical power, and he carved a simple seal on the statue.
Due to the current predicament, this seal could not completely seal the statue. It could only temporarily suppress the statue and would lose its effect after the magic power was used up.
After doing this, Adil put down the statue in his hand and was about to leave.
A creaking sound came from outside, followed by the sound of footsteps.
Adil looked out the door and saw a young girl walking in.
The girl did not look very old, only about 15 or 16 years old. Her appearance was not stunning, but she could be considered pretty. At this moment, she was holding a bag in her hand, and she looked a bit tired.
She was wearing a long gray dress. When she saw Adil, surprise flashed in her eyes, and a smile appeared on her exhausted face. "Ximu, have you recovered?"
"I have almost recovered." Looking at the young lady before him, Adil was slightly surprised. "Why are you back so late?"
"I was helping a classmate with tutoring, so it took up some time." Tilly looked exhausted as she looked at Adil. She placed the package in her hand on the table and opened it to reveal its contents.
It was some clean little bread with some meat in it, and there seemed to be some honey in it.
"This is for you."
Tilly's expression softened as she looked at Adil. She rubbed Adil's head and said, "Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, you should rest early. You still have to go to class tomorrow."
"Okay." Looking at Tilly, Adil did not show any abnormalities. He only nodded quietly, then picked up the little bread and walked to the room at the side.
Tilly watched his figure disappear from her line of sight. She then stood up and, suppressing her exhaustion, walked into the simple and crude kitchen and began to prepare dinner for herself and the others.
After a while, after a busy day, Coral returned home. He was still wearing the simple gray uniform.
His expression was grave and stern, and he gave off an aura that kept strangers away. When he walked in and saw Tilly bustling about in the kitchen, he frowned, but in the end only sighed.
This world's technology was not bad. Televisions and the like had already been invented, but they were expensive and Ximu's family could not afford them.
Adding on to the fact that they had been busy for the whole day, they were all very tired. Thus, after dinner, they quickly went to bed and did not have any other entertainment.
At night.
As it was deep into the night, most of the street lamps that had been lit were extinguished. Only one or two lamps were still lit, barely illuminating the entire road.
The surroundings were very quiet, as if all the residents had fallen into a deep sleep and did not make a single sound.
However, in this quiet and serene environment, an abnormality began to appear. As time passed, it continued to expand.
Huff … huff …
Heavy breathing sounds could be heard.
On the road in the distance, a huge humanoid monster had appeared out of nowhere, holding a broken broadsword in its hand.
It was not wearing any clothes, and its skin was pale without any color of blood. Its face was terrifyingly stiff, as if it was a rotting corpse.
Even so, its eyes were very bright and filled with a mysterious luster. It was currently standing on the side of the road, walking towards a certain house.
Although its body was huge, at least three to four meters tall, there was not the slightest sound as it walked. Only a wave of black aura continuously dissipated, spreading in all directions.
Not long after, it walked to the front of an old house, but in the end, it stopped somewhat hesitantly.
This was because, at this moment, there was also a gaze coming from within the old house.
It was a pair of pure black eyes, just that, at this moment, there was a silver light gathering within the eyes, and it was currently staring at the monster.
Although it was just a gaze, it seemed to contain absolute power, causing the monster in the distance to involuntarily stop, standing outside the house for a long time.
This kind of stalemate continued for a very very long time, and finally, it was declared to be over.
Standing in front of the house, it was expelled by some kind of power. The monster's figure gradually became illusory, and in the end, it disappeared.
"This is troublesome …"
Standing on the balcony, looking at the gradually illusory figure of the monster, Adil finally raised his head, his expression was a bit ugly, "It's not a spirit body, nor is it an illusion, what is this thing?"
Although it looked like it was easy, in reality, in that exchange of gaze just now, Adil had already used all of the power that he could currently use.
If that monster hadn't been suppressed and really rushed to evolve, with just his current power, Adil might not have been able to suppress it.
After all, right now, he could be considered to be at his weakest state. Although his powerful mental power still existed, without enough mana to complement it, if he were to fight against others with only mental power, he would be at a disadvantage, and in terms of power, he would be greatly weakened.
"I have to recover my strength as soon as possible."
