Chapter 1 Fu Linglong and the Soul Binding Cage 4
The voice in my head did not sound again. I looked around and paused for a while. After confirming that there was really no sound, I breathed a sigh of relief. Although I felt an inexplicable familiarity with this voice, no matter how I looked at it, this matter was very strange!
Fortunately, it didn’t appear again. I’ll go to the supermarket to buy food now and go see the kitten next time.
"What is a supermarket? I haven't eaten human food for a long time. I saw you eating so enthusiastically just now, so I also wanted to try it. Remember to prepare more food. I want to have a good meal after I go out." Before the corner of my mouth that had just been raised could be lowered, a string of words echoed in my mind, completely crushing my last rational nerve.
I'm going crazy! I'm schizophrenic! I'm going to die soon!
"No matter what, I don't want to die of starvation. I'm going to buy expensive ingredients that I would never buy normally, and eat my fill before I die!"
Well! I made up my mind and rushed into the supermarket, sweeping all the way from the fruit and vegetable section to the fresh produce section. Red grapes, mangosteen, cherries, asparagus, Chinese toon, black tomatoes, steak, chicken wings, crayfish, all of which were expensive ingredients that I usually only dared to think about.
Looking at the half-full shopping cart, with a fearless expression on my face, I walked step by step into the mysterious area that I had almost never set foot in - the snack area.
Finally, after spending the last coin in my wallet, I walked out of the supermarket contentedly, carrying two large bags full of food with my head held high!
"It turns out that spending money feels so good! Okay! Let's go home now!" After shouting this sentence while standing on the roadside, I felt that everything around me became quiet.
There was dead silence all around. The bus driver looked at me with disdain from his seat and said impatiently, "Are you getting on the bus or not? If not, I'll close the door."
"Human, you just spent all your money in that place called a supermarket."
The voice in my head came back again, ruthlessly reminding me of this cruel fact, completely regardless of who stimulated me to buy a lot of food and spend all my money.
The bus driver paused for two seconds, then realized that I had no intention of getting on the bus. He closed the door, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and sped away, leaving behind only a puff of black exhaust.
"It's really not environmentally friendly at all. Can't such thick black smoke be purified? At least turn it into white smoke..." When I said the word "white smoke", an inexplicable sense of familiarity came to my mind. I seemed to have forgotten something?
"Oh, you finally remembered?"
The deep male voice and the cold tone finally awakened my memory. The navy blue figure and his long, sharp eyes from yesterday's dream seemed to appear before my eyes.
Although I don’t understand why this voice appeared in my mind, it is obviously not something that can be explained by science, and its danger level remains to be determined.
However, I realized something very terrible - I had just spent all my living expenses for this week and next week on an impulse!
I stood there and thought for a while, the possibility of rushing into the supermarket to return all the things in my hands without being kicked out by the clerk, curled my lips, and walked home resignedly. It's really a bad luck, everything has gone wrong since I wore this little golden sculpture.
After my 981st self-reflection and self-loathing, I finally dragged my "broken hands and legs" back to Room 1004.
After opening the door, I threw the two bags of food on the ground in despair and collapsed on the ground in a "big" shape.
"Ah..." I forgot that I was wearing a small golden eagle around my neck. The moment I fell to the ground, I felt the true "unforgettable" pain and let out a scream.
What bad luck! Can this thing have any positive effect?
I managed to turn over and lay on my back, holding the culprit that had just hit me in my hand, slowly sorting out the whole thing.
"I picked up this little golden eagle yesterday. According to that person, I named it 'Soul Binding Cage', so now I am the owner of the Soul Binding Cage. Then at night, I dreamed of him, the golden pillars and the floor tiles with spells. It seemed that I ran into the Soul Binding Cage while sleeping. Well... he kept asking me to let him out. He seemed to have some kind of power. In this way, it seems like a low-profile version of Aladdin's magic lamp."
Huh? Aladdin's magic lamp? So he is the spirit of this little palace?
Or I could give it a try. I immediately took the soul-binding cage off my neck, raised it into the air, and chanted a spell like the immortals on TV: "I want to have a family. Hurry up and obey the command !"
The wish that came out of my mouth made me stunned for a moment. I sat there motionless, not daring to move, only darting my eyes to sneak a peek at the changes around me. A minute passed, but nothing happened. Family is not so easy to get.
I pursed my lips and tried to smile. "Well, let's change to something easier to achieve. Turn these ingredients into delicious meals, hurry up!"
I looked forward to seeing if the ingredients on the ground had changed, but unfortunately, they remained motionless. I curled my lips in disappointment. Was it really useless?
“You are just a human, how dare you order me around? When I get out, I will tear you into pieces!” The voice in my mind sounded again, but this time, I felt a chill that went through my brain, and my whole body shook unconsciously.
"Eh? I... didn't you obey me either? You are not a servant spirit at all, but a demon imprisoned by the immortal."
"Humph, a mere human being, you dare to make me obey! I command you to release me immediately! Otherwise..."
"Gurgle..." My stomach responded before I could. I got up from the ground dejectedly. "It's better to rely on myself than to rely on others. I'd better cook for myself first. When I'm full and have more energy, I'll continue to discuss this issue with you."
"You actually slandered me as a demon. I am so angry. I must kill you! How dare a mere human being be so presumptuous? I am so angry that I want to kill you!"
Hearing the sound of him gritting his teeth, I reflexively shrank my neck. Then I thought, it seems that he is imprisoned now and can't do anything to me, so I became bolder.
I picked up the food on the ground and walked towards the kitchen. I couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Your reaction time is too long. And my name is not just a human. My name is Fu Lingmiao."
"Just a human ! Just a human! I will, will definitely kill you! Kill you!"
It must be a demon. I curled my lips and frowned, thinking: I seem to have gotten into trouble with something terrible.
