chapter038 broken cage

The layout of Gu Xingzhou's bedroom has also changed. The washroom and walk-in closet are lined up together. The bathroom has a single-sided visible window that can directly see the mountains in the backyard; the fluffy climbing mat is placed on the other side of the bed. On one side, in addition to the small nest, there is also a small swing-style hammock.

Unfortunately no cubs.

Gu Xingzhou silently withdrew his gaze, then turned around and locked the door behind him.

He walked into the cloakroom and took out a small square box from it—it was the Yunshan compass sent to him by Gu Hesui.

but……

Gu Xingzhou glanced at the restored mattress, thought for a while, and finally took the package into the bathroom.

The bathroom was designed to be very large, Gu Xingzhou looked around, and after confirming that there was nothing flammable, he put the box aside with confidence, and then took off his shirt.

Through the glass of the bathroom partition door, Gu Xingzhou took a look at the back of his neck, but there was no mark.

Not surprising.

Gu Xingzhou retracted his gaze, picked up the box and opened it - in addition to the compass, there was also a mahjong-sized wooden sign and a postcard inside the box.

Gu Xingzhou was a little surprised, so he picked up the postcard and looked at it first.

On the front of the postcard is the advertisement for the magic workshop, and on the back there are a few lines written obliquely, the handwriting is arrogant and domineering - a safety talisman carved by myself, take it with you, or you will be cut.

Gu Xingzhou: "..."

It's his eldest sister.

Gu Xingzhou picked up the wooden sign in the box and looked at it again.

The wooden sign is 5 mm thick, with the word "Ping An" engraved on one side, and a twisted magic circle engraved on the other side, but there is a hole in the lower right corner of the magic circle, which cuts off the three lines of the magic circle.

Gu Xingzhou: "..."

Is this safety talisman that I can't even be safe really useful?

Gu Xingzhou was beeping loudly in his heart, but he obediently put the wooden sign in his trouser pocket—whether the talisman is useful or not is one thing, but whether his elder sister can cut someone or not is another matter.

Under the wooden sign and the peace talisman is the Yunshan Compass.

The Yunshan compass is not a feng shui compass. There is no such thing as Tianchi Lake or the seabed line on the surface. It is as big as a palm. It looks like two polished bronze mirrors stuck together, with exquisite patterns carved on the surface.

Although Gu Xingzhou doesn't know how to use spells, he grew up in Gu's parents and he can still use these magic tools.

After silently reciting the mantra for driving the magic weapon in his heart, the compass in Gu Xingzhou's palm began to vibrate, and there was a slight friction sound from the two bonded disks, and then a golden light spread out from the gap like water waves, and in a blink of an eye Covers the surrounding space within two meters.

The color of the golden light is so thin that you can't see it if you don't look closely, but where it covers, golden spots like stars soon appeared.

Gold spots gathered on the ground, walls, and glass. The color is still not dazzling, but it is clearer than the golden light.

——These are the magic imprints left by Shengwu when they renovated today.

Gu Xingzhou skipped these golden spots, and fixed his gaze firmly on the figure in the glass - the figure reflected on the glass was not very clear, but he could still see the position on the spine in the middle of the broad shoulders and back of the neck, A dense spot of light emerged.

Spell mark.

"hiss."

Gu Xingzhou took a shallow and quick breath, his heart pounding.

He has no memory of the imprint on the back of his neck, and no one in his family has ever mentioned it—as one of the five major families that founded the Demon Control Bureau, it is impossible for the Gu family not to have noticed that he has a magic imprint on his body.

So why not tell him?

Gu Xingzhou's brain was boiling hot, and a voice was getting louder and louder in his head - after two consecutive days of mysterious dreams, he had no mana but burned the mattress. Is this really a coincidence?

The surrounding gold spots gradually faded, and soon the golden light disappeared, and the bathroom returned to calm.

Gu Xingzhou looked at his blurred shadow on the glass door, but his gaze became more and more determined.

As if he had made some decision in his heart, Gu Xingzhou clenched the compass again, and then read out a formula that was completely different from before.

The Yunshan compass, in addition to being able to find out all the magic imprints within the coverage area, also has the function of breaking obstacles.

"call out."

This time, the golden light bursting out from the compass turned into a beam, Gu Xingzhou quickly pinched the golden light with two fingers, and then stuck it to the back of his neck like pulling wool.

"Well!"

It was as if dozens of needles had pierced the skin at the same time, and the unexpected pain swept over Gu Xingzhou's nerves, and then Gu Xingzhou's eyes went dark.

—You're not going to die, don't cry.

— Want a child?OK, that's it.

——Well, I don't pick up other ancestors, only you.

—Go to sleep, just sleep.

Countless shattered pictures split Gu Xingzhou's nerves. The beast in the depths of his consciousness finally broke free from the chain. A strange and crazy impulse hit Gu Xingzhou's brain like a bullet. The world in front of him never Black turned red, and a white star shone in the distance.

That's the way home.

to go back!

The nameless beast let out a tearing roar, and its irrational eyes were scarlet.It dug out flesh and blood from Gu Xingzhou's consciousness, devouring Gu Xingzhou's rationality along the way.

"Do not."

Gu Xingzhou clenched his fists, sweating profusely, trying his best to pull the "self" that was gradually being swallowed up, resisting the hysterical roar of the nameless beast.

But that seems futile.

Gu Xingzhou only felt that his consciousness was gradually drifting away, and the control over his body was gradually disappearing. He felt the hot temperature overflowing from his skin, as if a flame was about to drill out from his pores—but it was not only the flame, but also There are things as hard as gravel flakes, trying to break out the skin and grow.

Immediately afterwards, the perception of the body had completely lost contact with the brain, and Gu Xingzhou felt his body collapsed on the floor, and then began to twist and struggle.

Like a man who hasn't walked in a long time trying to adjust to his new body.

Gu Xingzhou's heart felt cold, and the remaining rationality made a final struggle.

"no!"

The angry roar stirred up turbulent waves in the sea of ​​consciousness. The crazy beast turned around, and before it could open its mouth to let out a roar of confrontation, it was suddenly bound by an iron chain that came out of nowhere.

"Roar!"

The beast in consciousness struggled, was unwilling, roared, and looked sadly at the way home without knowing the direction, and then was dragged into the sea of ​​consciousness, and fell silent again.

Gu Xingzhou fully regained consciousness again, only to find that he was already sitting on the floor, leaning against the bathtub, his whole body was drenched in sweat.

And on the glass door facing him, in the blurred reflection, Gu Xingzhou saw black things wriggling on his skin.

"!!!"

Gu Xingzhou was startled, looked down, his scalp went numb.

His body was covered with countless black marks at some point. These marks looked like tattoos and shadows projected on his body. If you looked closely, you could tell that they were chains, layered on top of each other, covering every part of his body. an inch of skin.

But now the traces of these chains are fading, not disappearing directly, but starting to retract from his fingertips.

Gu Xingzhou suddenly thought of something, and turned sideways to look at the glass door - sure enough, these black marks quickly retracted into the mark on the back of his neck, and then disappeared, even the mark was gone.

Gu Xingzhou stared blankly at the shadow in the mirror, and his tense body gradually relaxed, but his brows became tighter and tighter, and his eyes were dim and unclear.

Obviously there were countless pictures filled in my mind just now, but when the imprint disappeared, these pictures also disappeared.

All that was left was the mad, burning obsession to go back.

But where do you want to go back?

Gu Xingzhou couldn't help lowering his eyes, trying to recall more details, but when his eyes inadvertently glanced at the things that fell on the ground, his mind was instantly emptied.

A compass and a peace charm lay on the ground.

It probably fell out after he lost control of his body just now. The compass was dented with a hole, and the safety talisman split a crack from the original carved hole, and went straight through the entire wooden sign. With a little force, the wooden sign can be split into two .

Gu Xingzhou: "..."

At this moment, the desire for survival that has been cultivated for many years occupied all Gu Xingzhou's thinking space, and quickly calculated a tragic conclusion in Gu Xingzhou's mind-the eldest sister will beat you to death.

Gu Xingzhou: "..."

Glue, glue should be able to stick to wood, right? !

……

at the same time.

In the headquarters building of the Huaguo Demon Control Bureau two thousand kilometers away, Gu Hesui, who had just dropped the report and walked out of the office, suddenly stopped in his tracks, then raised his left wrist to take a look.

She was wearing a bracelet of mahogany beads on her left wrist, and at this moment there was already a crack that could not be ignored on one of the wooden beads.

Gu Hesui closed his eyes, and cursed in a low voice, "You bastard!"

After Gu Hesui finished cursing, he immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.It rang for a full ten seconds before being picked up.

Gu Hesui exploded when he opened his mouth: "Gu Henian, your brother is going to die, and you are only answering the phone now?!"

The person on the other end of the phone paused for a while, and then a gentle-sounding man's voice came out.

"Why did you tease him again?"

Gu Hesui exploded into two kicks: "Why are you talking to your sister? Why did I push him? He is 30 years old, how can I push him to die?"

Gu Henian sighed, and said another way: "Okay, what's wrong with him?"

Gu He Sui gritted his teeth: "The bastard's wings became stiff, and he moved his own 'lock'."

Gu Henian was taken aback, and his tone became serious from the gentleness just now: "How did he know how to lock it? And how can he move it without mana——, sister, did you give him something?"

Gu Hesui was not guilty at all, "Ah, he asked me for the Yunshan Compass, and said it was necessary for the case, so I gave it to him. But I put a spare lock just in case, it will come in handy! "

Gu Henian: "..."

Do you still want me to praise you for your wit? ?

Gu Henian rubbed his forehead and asked, "Since you knew there was a risk and you put a spare lock on it, why did you give him the Yunshan Compass? Aren't there many alternative instruments?"

Gu Hesui said confidently: "There is no suitable one at hand. Come on, stop talking nonsense, and get closer to him. It just so happens that you are going to take a vacation. Take the time to go over and see if he is dead or not." I'll come over as soon as my case is over."

Gu Henian had no choice but to respond: "I'll be there tomorrow—what if he asks?"

Gu Hesui didn't hesitate: "Let's tell the truth, otherwise, when his late rebellious period comes, and he opens all the locks, then it will not only be the Gu family's business."

Gu Henian: "Then the International Demon Control Bureau..."

Gu Hesui: "If you don't let them know, it's over. Remember to put on your new shielding device. Don't tell anyone. You know that our ancestors have always been prejudiced against the third child. More things are worse than less things." one thing."

Gu Henian: "........."

Do you know that "more is worse than less"?

Why didn't I see you have this awareness when I gave Yunshan Compass before? ?

The author has something to say: Gu Henian: I am tired. (Strong Smile.jpg)

It rained all day today, and the temperature dropped directly from 25 yesterday to 16. (shivering.jpg)

Jinjiang seems to have smoked again, and the button to send red envelopes on the computer is gone.I'll keep tinkering.

good night ovo
