Undoubtedly, this should be the half-spirit whom Mr. Tan arranged to protect him.
He actually showed up!
Mirialia forced down the fear in her chest and asked calmly:
"Who are you?"
At the same time, her brain was rapidly thinking about the purpose of the other party's sudden appearance.
Could it be that... I discovered the fluctuation of the source of the symbol that I just used "communication"?
However, when her eyes fell on Xiao Ran again behind the black-robed old man, she felt relieved.
The other party did not break in, but asked Xiaoran to use the key to open the lock outside. This shows that the man in black robe maintained the due restraint...
That was a half-spirit. If he wanted to be disadvantageous, he could just break through.
Thinking of this, Mirialia plucked up the courage and asked again:
"Who are you?"
The old man didn't answer. A bulge appeared on the right side of his broad black robe, as if he had raised a hand inside.
As the symbol rolled around, the door that had just been opened automatically closed and closed quickly without any wind, making a crisp impact sound.
Xiao Ran, whose face was full of surprise and worry, was locked out. In the room, only the old man and Mirialia were left standing looking at each other.
"Are you... using your contract ability?"
The hazy face in black robe made a voice and asked Mirialia.
Sure enough, he discovered the fluctuation of the symbol source when he used "communication" just now. However, judging from the interview, the old man did not realize that he was using "communication" and mistakenly thought that he was using his own contract ability... Mirialia He quickly made a judgment and replied:
"I'm practicing...getting used to...new abilities."
The face under the black robe stared at Mirialia, as if to judge the authenticity of her words. After a long time, he spoke:
"There...are no men here!"
The meaning of this sentence is for Mirialia's ability - "Charm". There is no man in the room, who can practice "Charm" on?
Mirialia bit her bright lips and replied quickly:
"My ability does not require a specific goal, it only requires myself as the initiator..."
"Of course there won't be any other men in the room! If there were, wouldn't I... feel sorry for him?!"
This excuse was something she had thought of a long time ago - her ability of "charm" does not require a specific goal, it just simply makes herself exude the charming charm of women...
This is equivalent to "damage" with a range, which can make the hearts of all members of the opposite sex within the range of your own symbol source.
Of course, this does not mean that her "charm" ability cannot be focused on a single individual, but it is just that both methods can be chosen and are not limited.
If she wanted to, she could even "charm" a table, but it had no effect.
As for the price, she has already figured out the price, which is equivalent to a one-time payment, equivalent to a "permanent transformation experience card", although she lied to Mr. Tan that her price was forbidden - forbidden to Touch other members of the opposite sex within a certain period of time after using the ability.
The reason why she concealed it was because she wanted to use this reason to prevent Mr. Tan from venting on her. Even if she couldn't completely stop Mr. Tan, she could plant a thorn in his heart——
As a man, Lu Zijian knows very well that as long as he slightly diverts a man's attention when he is impulsive, or lets him have something else on his mind at that time, he can prevent them from being "lei" when the impulsiveness is not so strong.
Moreover, he can also take the initiative to choose - then he can lie about being a contractor for the first time, and he can't control the contract ability well, so that he mistakenly triggers the ability when the tide rises. Because he needs to pay a price, he can let the second master Tan leave. own body.
Because it was a one-time payment, Mirialia didn't have to think about paying a price every time she used her ability. Therefore, the excuse of practicing alone in the room made sense. Even in the case of the lie she made up, she also Don't worry about it - as long as there are no men in the room.
However, the appearance of the old man in black robe at this time allowed Mirialia to seize a loophole. She raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly and said:
"I am indeed practicing using my contract ability! Now is the time to pay the price! You...as a man, you should not be here!"
Since the price in the lie is that you are not allowed to touch men, the old man in front of you is also a man, no matter how old he is, it is very inappropriate for him to stay here as the second son of Tan.
This is equivalent to issuing an eviction order... Mirialia was very smart to find this quite reasonable excuse.
Hearing this, the body of the old man in black robe suddenly stagnated, as if he had received an electric shock, and he was shaking slightly uncontrollably.
The tremors throughout the body felt a little scary.
This made Mirialia take a step back worriedly, and looked at the other party warily.
As if he was trying hard to suppress something in his body, the old man in black robe suddenly stooped down, and then gradually stabilized his body.
His voice changed and became a little hoarse, as if something was stuck in his throat:
"Miss, your ability... was measured by me using a spirit puppet!"
"After the measurement is completed, I will inform the young master."
Mirialia was shocked when she heard this.
The old man in black robe remained unmoved and continued:
"Yes, it's me... I'm... the person assigned to protect you. I've always been here."
"When I discovered the fluctuations in your body's symbol source, I used the spirit puppet to determine your ability and price. The spirit puppet said that if you...use your charm to enchant the opposite sex, you will have to endure the pain of the same sex."
"You can't hide it from me. Your price...is not to prohibit contact with men after using your ability."
Mirialia suddenly felt her back tense slightly.
This old man in black robes had been sent here by the Second Master Qin a long time ago, and he had been hiding beside him... When he first awakened, it was this half-spirit who discovered and used the spirit puppet to measure his own abilities and price.
Of course he would know the results of the spirit puppet's test on him! Lingdu’s original conclusion was that if you use charm to charm the opposite sex, you will have to endure the pain of the same sex.
The old man could infer his lie about the price just from the literal meaning...
The lie was exposed!
She quickly thought of the consequences and felt scared about it - if the second master Tan knew about this...
Mirialia immediately opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
This lie simply cannot be fulfilled!
What would Second Young Master Tan think of him if he found out? Will love turn to hate?
The old man in black robe in front of him saw the change in Mirialia's expression, and his body started to tremble slightly again.
The two just looked at each other, neither of them saying anything.
Until the old man in black robe once again suppressed the abnormal movement in his body and raised his hand again, his wide robe trembled with the swing of his elbow:
"You don't have to... be afraid!"
"I...didn't tell the young master your price, only your ability."
The sudden turn before and after made Mirialia unable to recover for a while.
The other party didn't tell the young master his true price, wouldn't it mean that the young master didn't know that he was lying to him.
Moreover, the hidden meaning in the other party's words is that he does not intend to expose this matter, and even wants to conceal it for himself?
Why! ! !
The fear in Mirialia's heart could not be increased. How could she let the second master Tan protect her, and... the other party was a full-fledged half-spirit!
Her doubts did not linger for long. The old man in black robe spoke again, and there seemed to be a hint of sympathy in his dry and hoarse tone:
"You...are also...a pathetic person!"
"The price of being favored by the opposite sex is of course...being rejected by the same sex. You...can only be locked up here, forever...forever..."
This was misunderstood by the half-spirit again. Mirialia was in a series of shocks, but she still grasped the key points of the other party's words.
The other party misunderstood his own price. He thought that his price... was because his ability was to charm men and win their favor, so the price was to be rejected by other women. Little did he know that she wore the wrong gender and paid the price all at once. .
The two people have different understandings of the pain of the same sex.
It was only then that Mirialia found out that the risk of her exposure had once again been covered up inexplicably, and she felt a little relieved...
However, she still didn't know the original intention of the half-spirit in front of her... She pursed her lips and asked the same question for the third time, but her tone was much softer:
"Who...are you..."
"Or...what should I call you?"
The black-robed half-spirit stared silently at the beauty in front of him for several breaths before squeezing out two words from his teeth:
"ugly......"
Is this a name?
Mirialia opened her mouth, but did not dare to continue asking about this incomprehensible answer.
Using these two words to describe my half-spirit...maybe using these two words to call him will arouse inferiority and anger.
It was said in the Lunar Eclipse chat group that the more powerful the contractor is, the more mentally problematic he will be. To sum it up, it can be summed up in four words - the stronger, the crazier!
The old man seemed to let out a long sigh: "Uncle Ugly!"
"You can call me that."
Mirialia held her breath for a long time like an old man, but instead of sighing, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Ugly!" Mirialia forced a smile and called the other party.
After chatting for so long, although the other party seemed a little abnormal and inexplicable, Mirialia was not stupid. She could already tell that the old man in front of her who called himself "Uncle Ugly" had no ill intentions toward her——
An old man who was willing to hide the lies for himself and said that he was a poor person would never have had this conversation if he had any ill intentions towards him.
"I'm coming... to see you."
Only then did the black-robed "Uncle Ugly" reveal the reason why he showed up to see Mirialia:
"This is to advise you...not to use your abilities too often, no!"
"The consequences of frequent use of abilities will only make you...even more pitiful!"
After saying this, Uncle Chou slowly turned around, and the door to the room automatically opened without any wind again.
Just like this... Mirialia became more and more confused about the half-spirit in front of her. Seeing that the old man was about to leave, she opened her mouth and shouted again:
"Uncle Ugly...you..."
"I will always be outside...protect you..." Uncle Chou's large black robe shook again, and his body seemed to be suffering from great pain, as if he was suppressing something that was about to emerge from his body.
After saying that, he stopped, seemed to look back at Mirialia in the room, and added:
"Don't... when using charm... cover the surrounding area with talisman sources."
"Sometimes...this can unintentionally...affect...me outside!"
After saying that, his trembling and rickety body quickly went out and disappeared.
Xiao Ran, the maid who had been waiting at the door, came to her senses and quickly asked the owner of the room with her eyes. After seeing Mirialia slightly nodding her head to indicate that she was fine, she locked the door again from the outside.
The room became quiet, as most days in the past, Mirialia was the only one left. Her slender figure looked a little lonely in the afternoon sun, and the shadow on the floor grew long.
Uncle Chou's last words made her unable to calm down for a long time.
What does it mean?
Did my "charm" actually affect a half-spirit?
...Perhaps, when he accidentally spread the talisman source and used "Charm" before, the ugly uncle outside the room was within the range of the talisman source.
More importantly, it is "charm".
Although Uncle Chou is old, he... is a man!
Mirialia swallowed deeply, not knowing what to say to herself.
............
Hot Springs City.
At nightfall, the beardless Deputy Speaker Ding said he was going to the City Council.
Four bodyguards will naturally accompany him.
Rebecca and Sheng Su, one acting as the driver and the other acting as a bodyguard, sat in the passenger seat, riding in the same car as Ding Bangchang.
Mozhi took Xiaobai into Andre's car.
After a day of sparring, the brown bear’s face was covered in bruises, which were heavily “repaired” by Rebecca.
Turning his head to look at his face from time to time, Andre said angrily:
"Have you seen enough?"
Mo Zhi chuckled and said, "I can't help but want to laugh."
The brown bear gave an unpredictable glance, then returned his gaze to concentrate on driving, and said:
"I'm convinced! That teammate of yours is awesome!"
"With her fighting skills, she has basically no opponent in Hot Spring City!"
This old bear is quite magnanimous! Unpredictable nodded in approval. Rebecca and Luo Qing were quite capable in fighting. Of course, they were no match for Vera.
Because Vera's contract ability comes with a large increase in strength, one strength is enough to reduce her strength by ten levels.
Who knows, this old bear changed the topic and said:
"I'm no match for her, and I want to see you for another discussion."
After hearing this, Mu Zhi suddenly felt a little better and said quickly:
"I'm a newcomer, just a scumbag...how can I be your opponent?"
But Andre rolled his eyes and said in a daze:
"Rebecca stopped me! She said...it's best not to go to you"
"Oh?" This time, even Mu Zhi became interested and wanted to know how his colleague Rebecca would evaluate him.
Andre paused, imitating Rebecca's usual cold tone and said:
"She said you can't fight, but you are ten times more dangerous than her!"
"She said... you have ten thousand ways to kill your opponent!"
Unpredictable was speechless.
This comment is a bit like a sentence I read in my previous life - A Fei doesn't know martial arts, he only knows how to kill people.
How could I leave such an impression on Sister Rebecca? Unexpectedly complained in his heart: I am obviously very pure and honest, okay?
Andre took out a thick cigar, lit it, took a deep breath and said:
"By the way, Sister Lan's new bar is about to open. The two of us will go celebrate together."
