This aura is deadly

When Chen Ke returned to the downstairs of his residence, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.

The sky gradually darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun burned through the clouds on the horizon. The entire sky was like a dark blue chopping board with thick blood splattered on it.

The entire apartment building was covered in the blood-red sunset. Chen Ke saw a dark figure standing by the window of his residence.

They are waiting for him.

Chen Ke took out his newly bought iPhone and called Lester, asking his younger brother to deliver the suit later. Then he walked into the elevator.

There was a crack in the apartment door, the lights were not turned on, and cold wind blew out from the crack. He opened the door and walked in, then closed the door behind him.

In front of the bedroom window, a woman leaned against the wall, crossed her arms, and looked straight at him.

She was wearing a black hooded windbreaker, and her entire face was hidden in the shadows. Due to the backlight, Chen Ke could only see her bright red lips. The hem of the windbreaker reached to her knees. Her calves were very white, and she had no shoes.

Chen Ke threw the mobile phone box on the bed, then pulled a stool from the side and sat down. He did not take out the gun, nor did he intend to summon the holy object, because he did not feel the murderous intent of the other party.

Before going out this time, Chen Ke took all the diamonds with him, and also bought a small wallet with a zipper pocket to hide the holy diamonds. After all, he had been targeted by Asra and he had to beware of attacks from the opponent at any time.

"It seems you are not afraid at all." The woman said to Chen Ke with a smile.

"I've never been afraid." Chen Ke smiled.

The woman's mouth twisted slightly, she stretched out her hands and lifted the hood behind her head, revealing her shiny bald head.

By the standards of Western women, she is the kind of person who is so beautiful that it brings disaster to the country and the people. Her eyes are shining with a faint red light and there is a purple rune mark on her forehead.

Chen Ke recognized her at a glance as the silent witch who took Lucina away at noon.

"Your courage comes from ignorance. You don't know the consequences of going against Asra." The witch said calmly.

"Oh haha~ I'm not against you, it's you who are against me." Chen Ke spread his hands.

"It seems like you don't care about your companion at all." The witch smiled.

"Her relationship with me is just a robbery accomplice, not as important as you think. If she dies, I can still get a little more money." Chen Ke shrugged.

"So, you don't plan to exchange the holy diamond for your companion?" the witch raised her eyebrows.

"No...compared to the Holy Diamond, I still want to change my companions." Chen Kedao.

"Why?" the witch asked curiously.

"Because I promised her father to take his daughter back." Chen Ke said coldly.

"..." For a moment, the witch's eyes lost their luster, as if she was recalling some sad past events, but she soon returned to her previous expression.

"Then, give me the Holy Diamond now, and she will come back tomorrow." said the witch.

"No." Chen Ke simply refused.

"Asra never lies," the witch said.

"Chen Ke never talks about conditions." Chen Ke smiled.

"You have to know that Asra is sparing you now just because you hold the diamond." The witch said coldly.

"You also have to understand that I am sparing you now just because she is still in your hands." Chen Ke smiled.

The silent witch frowned, and a red halo overflowed from her pupils, staring straight at Chen Ke, but after a few seconds, the halo dissipated. Chen Ke spread his hands, thinking that the witch was going to take him away.

"At 0 o'clock, take the diamond to the Brilliant Biscuit Factory on the outskirts of the city. Come alone and you will see her." The witch said.

After saying that, the red light in her eyes escaped like a flood, forming a ball of light red mist, wrapping herself up and pulling her into the black vortex behind her.

After her entire body disappeared, the vortex gradually became smaller, and finally only a red light spot remained in mid-air.

Chen Ke snorted and watched the red dot slowly disappear. After a long time, he said to himself: "I can do it too."

…

9 o'clock at night, Psychic Research Institute, 38th floor of the Great Void Research Building.

Mansis returned to his office and found that the door was unlocked and the moonlight outside the window spilled into the corridor. Spring has arrived, but the temperature has dropped a bit tonight.

Mansis rubbed his temples, knowing the visitors tonight. He gathered his emotions and pushed the door open.

His independent office is not particularly large. Three large bookshelves stand against the wall. A large globe is placed next to the sofa. The small desk lamp on the desk is on. In the shadow where the orange light cannot reach, there is a person waiting. over there.

"Corrigan..." Mansis looked at the figure and said slowly.

Corrigan, the founder of the Si Consortium, is the real controller of the consortium. At the same time, it was also because of his unlimited financial support to Mansis in his youth that Mansis gained his status in the academic world today.

"Look at you, Mansis... We have only known each other for 40 years, and now you have aged like this..." Corrigan's old voice came from the darkness.

"All life will come to an end. This is a natural law." Mansis said.

Corrigan stepped out of the shadows and stepped slowly into the light. He was wearing a black hooded robe, bathed in darkness, and his hands gently brushed the table, like dry and forked branches.

"No... death is an insult to life, it is a curse..." Corrigan shook his head.

"Corrigan, tell me, do you really feel like you are still alive right now?" Mansis sighed.

"I am the one who cheated death, what do you think?" Corrigan stepped forward, stretched out his withered hands and lifted the hood, revealing his withered face.

He is too old, and the muscles in his body have atrophied to the limit, barely maintaining a human shape. On the withered head, the facial features are squeezed together, the pupils of his eyes are dull, and the toothless mouth and curled tongue can... Speaking is already a miracle.

If Mansis hadn't personally watched Corrigan shrink to this point year by year, I'm afraid he would have gone crazy just looking at this distorted face.

In 1929, 30-year-old Corrigan founded his family business. It was initially a small company focusing on logging and papermaking. As times changed, it gradually expanded its business to various industries.

As the founder of the Smith Consortium, Corrigan has lived for 112 years.

The man who cheated death relied on the wedge-shaped stone inserted in his head: the Symbiosis Stone.

The stone was inserted on the right side of Corrigan's forehead, like a devil's horn. It was black in color with blue halo lines on the surface. It slowly turned white from the end of the stone, and the blue lines were only concentrated on Close to the forehead wound.

"Mansis, you know why I came to you." Corrigan said.

Of course Mansis knew that he was here to seek new symbiosis stones.
