Chapter 10 Love You for Me 1
The sound of footsteps, that was the sound of me running in the dark. The darkness around me scared me. When I saw the light not far away, I ran even more anxiously. Ino and the others were waiting for me to rescue them. I couldn't be trapped in this dark world like this!
Finally, I reached the bright light, and the dazzling white light made me close my eyes.
Then, I woke up with a sharp pain in my neck. When I looked closely, I found that I was tied to a sacrificial stone bed.
I gently twisted my neck and looked around. Ino and the others were still tied to the stone pillars, but this time Quint was also tied to the stone pillars. He seemed to be arguing about something, and the shadow in front of him was so familiar that it made me panic.
"Despicable human, didn't we agree that as long as I help you force Xiao Qian to lift the seal, you will rescue my people? Don't you feel shameful for going back on your word?"
Quint struggled angrily, baring his teeth like a trapped cobra, but to no avail.
"Haha, I want to too, but my staff won't let me!" The shadow said grimly, the staff in his hand glowing blue, deliberately showing off in front of Quint, "I have studied magic for many years, and God has rewarded those who work hard, allowing me to get this meteorite, which can actually absorb the aura of everything and use it for my own benefit. I have always known that my family is the heir to black magic, but my parents are too partial and actually passed the magic on to my eldest brother. I deliberately stole this photo album and threw it to Xiao Qian. I knew she would definitely let you out. Then you force Xiao Qian to beg my eldest brother to lift the magic seal on her."
"Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about?" Hearing this, tears rolled down my eyes.
That’s right, that dark shadow, the mastermind behind the whole thing, is the uncle who loves me like a treasure.
The wand in his hand was the strange wand that I accidentally saw in his house last time.
"Xiao Qian, are you awake?" Hearing my voice, the uncle not only did not feel guilty, but walked towards me with a hypocritical smile, "Don't worry, uncle loves Xiao Qian the most, and will not harm your life. Uncle just wants the magic in Xiao Qian. Black magic is too dangerous and not suitable for Xiao Qian!"
"You're lying...Uncle, what are you going to do?" I screamed first, and then burst into tears helplessly.
I tried to break free from the ropes that bound me, but there was no room for escape.
" What? Xiao Qian, don't you understand? Your uncle just believed in the legend that whoever gets the black magic and the album of sacred beasts can rule the world!" Quint looked at me with a wry smile and said coldly, making fun of my ignorance and also mocking his own stupidity for believing in such a sinister villain like his uncle.
"Isn't that a rumor?"
I looked at the other people who were still unconscious in panic. Didn’t Xi Ziqian say that this so-called legend was made up by the snake clan to mislead people?
"Of course it's not a rumor. I have studied the records of our ancestors. In addition to black magic, there are also those sacred beasts of the demon race. As long as I can turn their spiritual power into my own, I will be invincible. By then, even the most advanced weapons will be useless to me. If this universe is not mine, who else can it belong to?"
The uncle seemed to have gone crazy, his eyes were empty, and he was in an abnormal state of excitement. How could such a wise man as the uncle believe in this legend that even a three-year-old child would not believe?
"Hmph! I knew that you humans are all greedy demons. I can only blame myself for being too naive. I actually believed you." Quint looked at his uncle with contempt, and seemed to be so desperate that he gave up resistance.
I remember Quint said that being sealed in the album was an endless darkness that was more terrifying than death. Perhaps for him, he would rather die than be sealed again. However, he was unwilling to be defeated by a villain like his uncle.
"You are indeed naive, so naive that you only want freedom. Am I despicable and greedy? Are you snakes the same? In order to gain freedom, you betrayed your partner without hesitation. You and me, the same to you..." The uncle smiled sinisterly, holding the wand in his hand against Quint's chin, forcing Quint to look at him and admit that they were indeed the same type.
"you……"
Quint was furious, but he couldn't break free from the enchanted ropes on his body.
"Haha, you can struggle all you want! You should be thankful that your spiritual power can be transformed into my blood. When I use the photo album to open the other world and stand on top of the world, you are all people who have contributed to my ruling cause! You should be proud of it!" The uncle has lost his mind due to power, and he has become sarcastic.
"Uncle, wake up! Are you still the uncle who loves and cares for me?" I could only burst into tears .
I couldn't believe it, it turned out that all these coincidences were a series of schemes set up by my uncle. His ultimate goal was to absorb the spiritual power of everyone, use the photo album to open the door to another world, and rule the entire universe.
“Of course uncle loves Xiao Qian the most! Xiao Qian, you should also be good and don’t struggle because uncle has doted on you for so many years. After uncle absorbs the magic from Xiao Qian, you can still grow up happily like before!” Uncle smiled grimly and touched my cheek with his cold fingers, which made me glare at him.
He is really crazy!
"Uncle, is it really that important to get magic? Even if you rule the universe, what will happen? Wake up, it must be the meteorite in your hand that is causing trouble, throw it away!" I persuaded helplessly. I really don't know why my uncle did this. Even if he got the whole universe, what can he do?
"Haha, that won't do. This is my baby." The uncle nervously held the magic wand in his arms. "Xiao Qian, do you know? From childhood to adulthood, your uncle is not as good as your father in everything. Your grandparents only have your father in their hearts and eyes. He is their pride, and I always disobey them. They have never looked at me straight in the eye. Sometimes I feel like I was picked up by them when they were taking out the garbage, so I swear that I must become the most powerful person. I will rule the universe, dominate life and death, and I will let them resurrect and see how powerful I am and how much I deserve their pride!"
I sighed in despair. My grandparents passed away before I was born, so I don't know what happened. But through my father's love for me, I believe that there are no parents in this world who don't love their children. They may just be silently paying for my uncle without him realizing it. But how could this uncle who has lost his mind listen to me?
