i can hear the voiceover

Chapter 52 The Demon Comes!

"one two Three……"

Lu Huaiqiu walked on a street with few pedestrians, raising his head slightly and counting the number of street lights in his heart.

At the same time, he watched boredly as his shadow was lengthened and shortened.

Lu Huaiqiu actually doesn't like walking alone at night.

It's not because he is timid, but because he hates the feeling of being alone.

There is a feeling of being thrown into an empty space by God, saying goodbye to this world for a short time.

But only on this road, Lu Huaiqiu would not feel such helplessness.

— He is too familiar.

When he was in junior high school, he would take this road home every night after self-study.

At that time, there was a girl who happened to be walking with him and would accompany him for a while every night.

Lu Huaiqiu has a boring personality and rarely has the opportunity to talk to girls, but she is the only one who can chat well.

Over time, Lu Huaiqiu and her became good friends and became very familiar with this road.

For example.

He remembered that after ten meters, he would come to a fork in the road.

That's where he separated from the girls.

...

[Night falls, and the sky is like ink. 】

[The young man walked on the path of the past, and memories poured out like rain. 】

[He recalled that year, the back of the girl with a ponytail jumping on the street lamp, her skirt fluttering like a fluttering butterfly. 】

[The young man was very upset. If he had had a little bit of courage, he wouldn't have thrust that crumpled love letter into her hand by the time he graduated...]

【...】

"...This is an old story from many years and months ago."

Lu Huaiqiu's face twitched slightly.

He walked to the fork in the road while listening to the narration of the second-year junior high school student in his mind.

[The young man thought he had reached an old and familiar corner as usual. 】

[But he didn’t know that at this moment he was already at the crossroads of destiny. 】

[Heaven on the left hand, hell on the right hand. 】

[Of course, the situation may also be the other way around. 】

"..."

I always feel like this voiceover is teasing him?

Lu Huaiqiu slowed down silently.

Then he stopped in the middle of the forked road.

This is a T-junction, and in front of it is an old high wall covered with moss and peeling cement.

Either go left or go right.

Lu Huaiqiu didn't know what choice to make.

But at this time, the Buddhist voice-over in his mind stopped talking again, as if he was deliberately messing with his state of mind.

"In that case..."

After thinking for a while.

Lu Huaiqiu turned around.

then.

backtrack...

【? ? ? 】

Hey.

Silly!
Lu Huaiqiu couldn't help laughing wildly in his heart.

Damn that fateful intersection!
I just won’t leave, what can you do to me?

If you want to force dad to make a choice, you are still a bit naive.

【The timid and cautious young man seems to smell a hint of danger. 】

[He decisively chose to stay away from adventure and the unknown, and turned towards his warm hometown. 】

"The trick is no use for me."

Lu Huaiqiu stretched out his little finger and picked out his ears with great disdain.

These two lines sound pretty good.

But when translated into adult language, doesn't it mean the same thing as "this coward is so scared that he goes straight home to find his mother"?

[Young teenagers may not understand that opportunities in this world are always reserved for the brave. 】

[If he chooses to look back, the new light will show him the way again...]

"Wouldn't it be over if I said so earlier?"

Lu Huaiqiu decisively turned around again.But when he reached the middle of the fork in the road, the voice in his head suddenly stopped...

What a day!

Usually he drinks more saliva than tea, but at the critical moment he acts like a mute.

"Could it be triggered by some operation or behavior?"

Lu Huaiqiu thought silently for a moment.

Then he made a gesture and walked to the left.

[The lucky boy chose a smooth and quiet road with only one-half chance. 】

[He narrowly missed the crisis, like a lucky one crowned by a goddess. 】

"understood."

Lu Huai turned around again and chose another path.

【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

lucky one?
Who cares about this kind of thing?

It is true that the head of the Lu family is usually a salty fish, but tonight cannot be compared with the past.

He went out today to cause trouble, and it was impossible to do it.

But since he didn't know the specific situation, he could only walk inside slowly and tentatively.

He was actually not particularly familiar with the path he had chosen.

Because he always said goodbye to that girl here, and then he took another road to go home.

Thinking back a little now, Lu Huaiqiu realized why he was still single so far.

Hemp egg!

If I had been able to deliver girls all the way to my doorstep a few times in the past, I wouldn't have fallen into this situation today!
Maybe one day the girl suddenly has a heartbeat and invites herself to have a meal at home?
Doesn’t this mean meeting the mother-in-law in advance?
"You are young and ignorant."

Lu Huaiqiu smiled helplessly.

Either way.

The past is just like the past, and now it is just a matter of laughter.

But at this time, the smile on Lu Huaiqiu's mouth suddenly disappeared.

——He smelled the breath of spiritual power.

With [Surprise Awakening] and his improved cultivation, his current perception ability is much stronger than before.

At this moment, he could feel that something was approaching him quickly in the distance.

--demon!
And the moving speed is not slow, roughly equivalent to the running state of a normal adult male.

Lu Huaiqiu decisively stretched out his hand to his back and drew out the saber.

【The lost boy may not know that he made a failed decision at the fork in the road. 】

[——He chose a path that faced the abyss. 】

[At this moment, he seemed to finally realize that the crisis was coming. 】

[But the problem is not that big. 】

【after all. 】

[If he chooses to look back now, it's actually still too late. 】

back?

nonexistent.

Lu Huaiqiu raised the corners of his mouth lightly.

If he had wanted to go, he would not have chosen this path in the first place.

In just a few seconds, the head of the Lu family had already thought of some countermeasures.

He is bound to encounter a demon later.

If you can fight, then fight.

If you just don't win, then run.

Patriarch Lu is very confident in his position.

Even if he is really cornered.

Then when [Youbu] is opened, [Night Walk] is released.

Ghosts can't catch up with his footsteps!
If he couldn't leave even then, he could ask Tang Yusheng for help at the last moment.

Triple insurance, very stable.

next moment.

The shadow approaching at high speed has appeared in the field of vision.

A gust of evil wind blows towards my face.

Lu Huaiqiu lowered his body and assumed the starting position of poetry, wine and swordsmanship——

"The demon is coming!"
