Chapter 25 The Devil Is Born (1/2)

“Are you ok?”

I raised my head and stared at him.

“There’s just one thing I want to ask you,” I asked. “How many ‘Wen Qingyu’ have you met before me?”

Wen Jiubo looked at me, remaining silent.

“I’m asking you!” With no one else around us, my voice echoed again and again.

“……I do not remember.” Wen Jiubo dropped his eyes.

My heart grew colder after hearing this. His answer almost threw me in despair.

“I will be just one of the many you’ll never remember, won’t I?”

At last, I asked this question, but in fact, I did not want to know the answer at all.

At this moment, a phone suddenly rang, startling me.

Wen Jiubo immediately took out his phone from his pocket, and the light on the upper left corner of the screen flashed.

“It’s a text message from Zhu Xuan.”

“What did he say?”

“He said that he’s done, and the paper charm is in position.”

Great! I secretly clenched my fist. I knew that he could do it!

Then Wen Jiubo’s phone and my phone rang one after another. I took out my phone. It was text messages sent by Su Xiaoyun and Shi Yitong.

——OK.

——Done.

“Bai said that he is in position.” Wen Jiubo raised his head. “What about you?”

“They all made it!” I said excitedly. “Su Xiaoyun and Shi Yitong also placed their paper charm in position!”

“It seems that this space is smaller than I expected. Good. We don’t have much time left.” Wen Jiubo relieved a little. He took out the last piece of paper charm from his pocket. Just when I thought he was about to cast the spell, he suddenly held his hand out to me.

“What?” I looked at the paper charm in his hand, confused.

“I said it before, I don’t have enough power to break the barrier.” Wen Jiubo said calmly. “But you do. All the powers I have lost in the past are hidden inside you. You can do it.”

I stared at Wen Jiubo; there were too many thoughts racing through my head right now. I did not know if I should get the charm or push his hand away. But all of a sudden, a horrible growl broke the silence.

I did not know when it happened, but numerous ghostly shadows appeared flying around us and along with tremulous sounds, a group of monsters slowly approached us from the shadows.

“God… this is, what’s going on?”
