"Yuan Luo." Xia Youjie shouted in a solemn tone. At the same time, he took two steps forward, passed by Xia Youyuanluo, entered the room, and closed the door behind his back.
"I have something to tell you." His attitude was serious.
Xia Youyuanluo's eyelids twitched even more when he heard this. Could it be that he was discovered by his brother...?
For a time, dozens of explanation plans flashed through Xia Youyuanluo's mind.
Xia Youjie entered his brother's bedroom and checked it carefully. There was curse everywhere. There is no doubt that the younger brother is entangled. And this curse was not left by one curse spirit, but at least two.
"Yuan Luo, listen to me." Xia Youjie took a deep breath and turned to face his pale brother, who didn't look as calm as he said on the surface, "Because you have guessed the curse spirit to some extent. existence, next, I will tell you something about them.”
Xia Youyuanluo was stunned for a moment.
Why did my brother suddenly mention this? Curse spirit? Do you mean monster?
Xia Youjie didn't care whether his brother could digest what he said for a while, and briefly summarized the principles of the birth of curse spirits, how to deal with curse spirits, and what ordinary people should do when encountering curse spirits.
But after all is said and done, one thing that cannot be shaken off is that ordinary people are naturally in a weak position when facing cursed spirits - the funny thing is that cursed spirits are created by ordinary people. Although ordinary people have no idea about this.
Accepting systematic knowledge for the first time, Xia Youyuanluo listened very carefully, like a sponge greedily absorbing the amount of information brought by his brother's every sentence. This information formed a self-consistent link in his logical chain.
So that's it...all the doubts are solved.
There was a faint sweet fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose. Xia Youyuanluo knew that this was a signal from his body when he was excited.
Some people are timid in the face of danger and want to escape. Some people can't help but want to challenge when faced with danger. Xia Youyuanluo belongs to the latter.
Life for more than ten years has been as ordinary as water, with a lot of good things to say. Through his brother's curiosity when he knew there were monsters in the world, to his excitement when he could see monsters with his own eyes and awaken his ability to fight them... Xia Youyuanluo was fascinated by this danger.
He really yearns for 'the world over there' more and more.
But no.
At least in front of his parents and outsiders, he must be a good and obedient child. There is already a rebellious brother in the family. If he follows that path, his parents will be mad.
"I tell you this because I hope you will have a sense of crisis about this." Xia Youjie said, "I don't know what you have done recently, or it may be just bad luck that provoked them - you listen to what I want to say now You may feel scared, but I have to say, this way you will have an idea in mind when you encounter danger."
"Yuanluo, at least two curse spirits have had close contact with you and even entered your room."
"...How did brother know?"
Xia Youjie did not doubt the reason for his brother's inquiry. He only thought that his brother did not want to believe the cruel reality. He tried his best to smile and said in a pretending to be relaxed tone: "Because of the curse, you can interpret the curse as a snail crawling." The traces left by the curse are invisible if you don't concentrate. It sounds easy, but it also requires practice. I saw a lot of residue left by the curse on you and in the room, but don't worry too much, I will Solve this matter.”
"Yuanluo, I will protect you." Xia Youjie reached out and wanted to rub his brother's head, but after realizing that his brother was almost as tall as himself without realizing it, Xia Youjie moved his hand to the side quietly. Put it on his younger brother's shoulders instead.
"I am a spellcaster. I will get rid of them and won't let them hurt you." Xia Youjie looked in a daze when he said this. I don't know if he was speaking to Yuan Luo or to Yuan Luo. For himself.
The warm light illuminated the room brightly. Xia Youyuanluo saw the tired dark blue under Xia Youjie's eyelids, and suddenly realized that his brother had lost a lot of weight, and his mental state was not comparable to before.
Lowering his eyes, Xia Youyuanluo said softly: "Brother, have you encountered anything bad recently? You look very bad."
Xia Youjie came back to his senses after hearing this, smiled, put away all his emotions, and said: "I'm just a little tired. I will ask for a few days off from the school to follow you. If the curse spirit has already targeted you, I will It’s happened in the past few days.”
Pretty much as expected.
Xia Youyuanluo did not refuse, nodded, and said with an embarrassed smile: "It's troublesome, brother."
Xia Youjie shook his head in a funny way, "You're welcome, let's not talk about this as a family."
*
Xia Youjie has never been back home since he moved to the junior high school, and his room has always been empty.
Xia You's mother said she didn't care about Xia Youjie anymore, but she was too honest to say that she didn't miss a day to clean her eldest son's room, otherwise it would have been gathering dust.
Xia Youjie even smelled the warm smell of the sun on the bed quilt. It seemed that his mother had dried the quilt for him.
A warm current flashed through his heart, and Xia Youjie felt guilty for his previous immature behavior. His parents are not stubborn people, and they can always understand if they talk to him. It's just that time was too short and he was too impulsive.
...Find a time to apologize to your parents later.
After Xia Youjie washed up, he prepared to go to bed. Before closing his eyes, he summoned a second-level curse spirit to guard his younger brother's room and gave the order to wake him up whenever a curse spirit sneaked into his brother's room.
Xia Youyuanluo was preparing for daily meditation. He turned around and saw the big-eyed monster appearing in the corner of the room at some point, and silently canceled the habit he had maintained for some time.
This must be the curse spirit that his brother has subdued. Although his brother has never mentioned his ability to him, he guessed eight | nine | inseparable ten.
Under my brother's nose, I guess I've been keeping a low profile lately.
The next day.
Xia Youyuanluo sets off to school.
Xia Youjie also got up, but it was impossible for him to go to school with his younger brother, so he said that he would walk around the school to investigate if there were any other cursed spirits around the school and solve it together.
When he walked into the classroom, he came to school very early on weekdays, and saw that the seat of the girl he would immediately stick to was empty.
Xia Youyuanluo withdrew his gaze and calmly walked to his seat and sat down.
The first class was a Chinese language class. The teacher walked in and looked at the only empty seat in the classroom. He frowned and said, "Monitor, did the student with the empty seat ask for leave?"
"I don't know, I didn't receive the notification."
"You're about to graduate. Don't ask for leave if you can. Time is very tight for you now. Forget it, study committee member, you lead the class to review lessons 8 to 10. I'll ask your class teacher. .”
The Chinese teacher came back more than ten minutes later. His face looked a little unnatural. He didn't say anything, and he didn't mention Qian Yingxun again. The class started as usual.
After class, Qian Yingxun's two friends didn't know if they had discovered something, so they hurriedly chased them out.
Xia Youyuanluo looked at it, his reddish-brown eyes showed no waves at all, only an empty silence.
