The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 10
The pitch-black pupils stared at Yang Yang eeriely, so frightened that he almost threw the phone away.

He quickly touched his nose, and after confirming that he was indeed wearing glasses, he knew that these two people had not hidden their true colors now.

"Fuck you, uncle, why are you non-human!"

Originally, it was so easy to deal with these two guys, Yang Yang thought they were just ordinary people, but after seeing the change in their eyes, he was a little panicked.

Although he had never been afraid of anyone in a fight, but when faced with two non-human monsters, he suddenly lost his mind.

Just when he was panicking, the two black-eyed monsters on the ground slowly stood up and approached him step by step.

Yang Yang stepped back involuntarily, at this moment, he suddenly heard a strange sound behind him.

It was a string of weird syllables like a mantra that I couldn't understand, and the voice was cadenced and solemn.

He turned his head and found that Michelle had stood there at some point.

She held a golden sign in her hand, her eyes were slightly closed, and she kept uttering those strange spells.

This scene reminded Yang Yang of western magic, but how could Michelle know magic?
When he was feeling very puzzled, he suddenly heard two strange screams.

At the feet of the two monsters that kept approaching him, a huge hexagram pattern appeared at some point.

As for the two monsters trapped in the formation, they seemed to be immobilized at this moment, and they tried to escape in a panic, but they couldn't move at all.

After the two monsters were trapped, Michelle also stopped chanting the spell.

She fell to one side weakly, Yang Yang had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly stepped forward to support her.

"I'm fine, Brother Yang." Michelle had an apologetic smile on her tired face, her voice was very weak, "Call Uncle Hu and ask him to come over and help with it."

Yang Yang nodded, quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed Hu Weixian's number.

Hu Weixian's speed has always been fast. As soon as the phone was hung up, he appeared outside the door as if teleported.

"Ah, let me see what kind of small animals these are?"

With his hands behind his back, he walked in without haste.

Yang Yang was speechless for a while, he actually heard a fox mocking others as small animals.

Hu Weixian didn't pay attention to his reaction, and was carefully looking at the two guys in front of him, nodding from time to time.

For some reason, Yang Yang saw a trace of fear in the dark eyes of the two monsters.

"They're all children. Alas, peace is the most important thing. When you can reason, I, Hu, absolutely don't approve of resorting to force."

After Hu Weixian finished his research, he said to himself, and with a wave of his hand, the two monsters disappeared in the room together with the hexagram.

He walked over to take a look at Michelle, and after finding nothing serious, he turned around and looked at Yang Yang with satisfaction.

"Well, the young man did a pretty good job. Next, work hard and make sure to protect Xue'er. Did you hear me?"

Yang Yang curled his lips, feeling a little annoyed that this vixen looked like he was relying on the old to sell the old, after all, he seemed to be 28 or nine years old, not much older than himself.

However, after experiencing a series of bizarre events in the past few days, Yang Yang unconsciously became less afraid of him being a fox.

"Hahaha...Okay, I'll go back first, and you all have a good rest, don't worry too much."

Hu Weixian seemed to be very satisfied to see his unhappy appearance, he laughed and walked out.

Yang Yang scolded him a few words in his heart, then turned around and helped Xue'er back to the room.

Michelle took a short break and said in a weak voice, "Brother Yang, I'm sorry."

"Huh? What's wrong with you? Why are you saying sorry?"

Yang Yang, who was pouring water for her, looked back at her with some doubts.

Michelle hesitated slightly, as if she didn't know how to speak.

"I, I'm hiding a lot of things from Brother Yang."

After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke slowly.

Walking over with a water glass, he smiled relievedly and said softly: "Little girl, stop thinking about it, everyone has their own secrets, and you didn't want to hurt me so you kept it from me. There's nothing wrong with it."

"But these things have also affected you, and you have to face such dangers every day."

Michelle looked a little sad, she had always felt guilty about Yang Yang being involved.

After all, the other party was only here for work, but after he knew that he was in danger, he stayed to help him without any hesitation.

Yang Yang rubbed her head and said with a smile: "Just because of this, I thought it was a big deal."

"Compared to my being fired seven times in half a year, they are all insignificant things."

His carefree appearance finally made Michelle feel a little relieved.

"However, Xue'er, what happened to you just chanting the spell to subdue demons? I was already curious when I knew you knew how to divination. Why do you seem to be able to use magic now?"

Yang Yang had always had some doubts in his heart, and now he finally asked.

Michelle didn't hesitate this time, but it seemed that she remembered something, and her eyes were slightly sad.

"Actually, my mother is from the West, and she is what they call a witch."

"Westerners? Witches?"

Yang Yang's eyes widened in surprise, no wonder Michelle's facial features looked a little deeper than that of ordinary oriental women.

It turned out that she was of mixed race, and she had that kind of temperament that couldn't be concealed.

But what about the witch, Yang Yang really didn't understand.

"Witches are people with special skills, such as divination and exorcism."

Michelle added a few more words, "Actually, it's similar to the Taoist priests in the East. There are some differences between fortune-telling and subduing demons."

Yang Yang nodded, now he finally understood.

"Then the disappearance of your parents is also related to these things?"

Reminiscent of the few unkind non-human beings he saw, they seemed to be Western monsters, so he guessed that it might be related to Michelle's mother.

"I don't know about this. Uncle Hu said that the matter may have something to do with them, but it's not necessarily because of my mother."

Michelle shook her head, and continued, "But one thing is certain now, that is, they really want to do something to me."

Yang Yang nodded, from the bald man he met on the road to the two monsters he caught tonight, it all showed this point.

"It's okay, just now Mr. Hu told you not to think about it, now you can take a good rest."

Michelle agreed, then looked at Yang Yang, bit her lips, and said with great determination: "Brother Yang, I don't think you should work here anymore. The things here have exceeded what normal people would expect." Acceptable range, and it's too dangerous."

Yang Yang smiled in relief, thinking that this little girl's head is quite stubborn.

"It's okay, Xue'er. Didn't I tell you, since I was a child, I like to be mischievous, go up trees to touch birds, go down rivers to catch fish, and it hasn't stopped."

"But……"

Seeing that Michelle had something to say, Yang Yang hurriedly patted his chest: "Don't worry, I've already made up my mind, I must stay."

Michelle opened her mouth, and finally smiled sweetly.

"Thank you, Brother Yang."

"Thank you, those who can do more work, but if you really feel sorry, you can consider giving me a raise, Your Lady Queen!"

Michelle glared at him angrily, and was about to reach out to hit him, when a sneer suddenly came from the room.

"Huh? Who?"

I don't know if there is another monster coming, Yang Yang put away his smile and immediately became alert.

Michelle also clenched the golden holy emblem in her hand, and looked out the door nervously.

Just when the two of them were fighting, a lazy voice sounded again.

"Kids, don't be nervous, it's me."

Hu Weixian walked in swaggeringly, with a playful look on his face.

He looked at Yang Yang with a smile, and raised his eyebrows at him meaningfully, that look in Yang Yang's eyes was extremely treacherous.

"Young man is not bad, he has a future."

He came over and patted him on the shoulder, the smile on his face deepened.

Yang Yang shook his head in disgust, and quickly broke free from his clutches.

Your uncle was patted on the shoulder by a fox, careless!

He hurriedly stood a little further away from Hu Weixian, for fear that this guy would do something disgusting again.

Michelle's small face was also full of resentment, and she grumbled and complained: "Uncle Hu, you came here when you came, why are you sneaking around, making us nervous."

Hu Weixian laughed: "Am I being sneaky? Could it be that you guys were too involved in the conversation and didn't notice me."

"Oh, no way! We're talking about what happened just now."

Michelle's face blushed and she explained, but she didn't dare to look at her again.

"Really, I heard it all, what'ah, Xue'er, I must stay and protect you'! Tsk, it really is a young man, he has a way, really has a way."

Hu Weixian vividly imitated what Yang Yang said just now, adding embellishments from time to time, just like an exaggerated drama actor.

Michelle didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed by him, her blushing face was already speechless.

Yang Yang showed the skills he had been trained by his teachers in school.His eyelids drooped, and he pretended he didn't hear anything with his thick old face.

After Hu Weixian teased them for a while, he seemed to be satisfied, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Ahem, I'm not here to disturb you young people, the main reason is that I encountered a little trouble. Let Xueer help."
