Chapter 7: One wave after another 4
I bit my still trembling lips , and with a pair of swollen eyes from crying, I handed the Sakura Holy Beast photo album in my hand to my uncle.
"This is the photo album. Ino, Quint and Youxi were originally sealed in this album , but I released them. But now the outline of the album is slowly appearing. Quint said that it is the magic of the album that is attracting them back into the album. Uncle, only you can save them now!" I told everything with sobs.
As soon as school was over today, I took the photo album to find my uncle. After waiting at the door for a long time, my uncle finally opened the door and let me in. He flipped through the photo album with a strange light in surprise, his eyes full of shock.
"It turns out that the legends are true!" Uncle muttered to himself as he flipped through the photo album.
I couldn't help but frown. What was the uncle talking about? Why did the uncle in front of me seem to be bewitched by something, emitting a gloomy aura that made me shudder?
"Uncle, uncle!" I tilted my head in confusion and waved my hand in front of my uncle.
"Ah?" Uncle finally came to his senses and met my gaze.
"I know you can find a way to break the seal on Ino and the others. Uncle, please help me!" I begged sincerely. If possible, I wanted to kneel down and kowtow to my uncle.
"Don't worry, uncle will definitely help you." Uncle closed the photo album and helped me sit on the sofa.
"Uncle, do you know how to remove the seal on me?" I looked at my uncle with joy. I knew that my uncle would not make a promise unless he was absolutely sure.
"Well! As you know, black magic is passed down from generation to generation. I don't have any magic, but you have the strongest magic. This can only mean one thing, that is, your father passed the black magic to you. So, if you want to lift the seal, your father is the only breakthrough." Uncle said seriously.
"dad?"
I frowned unconsciously. How could my poker-faced father, who only cares about business, be capable of dark magic?
"As far as I know, there are two types of seals, one is a temporary seal and the other is a permanent seal. A permanent seal is equivalent to destroying everything. The result of this seal is mutual destruction, and almost no one will use this seal. There are many types of temporary seals. For example, the seals of these holy beasts are temporary. As long as they encounter the blood of the sealer or the heir , the seal will be lifted. But the ancestors were afraid that these holy beasts would come out again to harm innocent lives, so they exhausted their magic power and cast a permanent seal. If you want to lift the magic power of the photo album, the black magic heir must take back the seal. In other words, you must get your magic back. And the seal on your body should also be temporary. If it is a permanent seal, you might disappear as soon as you are born. However, there are many ways to lift a temporary seal, and you can only lift it if you find the corresponding method!"
"Then you should find a way as soon as possible!" I pulled my uncle's hand anxiously.
He talked for a long time, but it was all nonsense!
"There are thousands of methods recorded in ancient books, and some have been lost because they were not well preserved. If we want to find the corresponding methods immediately, I'm afraid we can only start from the caster." The uncle said in embarrassment.
"Who is the caster?"
"Maybe... it's your father!" said the uncle.
We all know that my serious and old-fashioned father doesn't believe in these myths and legends at all. He says they are superstition. If you ask him about it, I'm afraid he will throw you out the door before you even open your mouth.
"Dad?" Hearing this, my brows furrowed slightly.
"Find me?"
My father's voice suddenly came from behind me. My uncle and I were startled. We stared at my father's expressionless face with wide eyes and guiltily looked at him.
Although Dad is over 40 years old and always has a poker face, it must be said that the majesty he exudes is no less than that of the demon kings like Ino. Dad's temperament is calm and introverted, without the gloom of Quint, but with a bit of Ilan's unique domineering. I have to admit that if Dad was 20 years younger, he would definitely be a beautiful boy that everyone loves.
"What is this?" Dad gave me a sharp look, took the photo album from the coffee table and looked at it, the contempt on his face deepened, and he glared at uncle, "It's bad enough that you don't do your job properly, but you're also messing around with Xiao Qian?"
“Brother…listen to me…” Uncle didn’t dare to look at Dad in the eye and could only lower his head timidly.
"What is there to say?" Dad yelled and kicked over a wooden high stool with a bang. The stool moved quickly and knocked open the door that I accidentally opened last time.
My uncle and I gasped in fear and our bodies couldn't move uncontrollably.
"Hmph! Your life is a joke, facing these messy things every day!" Dad said, walked towards the laboratory and kicked the door open.
Dad lifted up the stool and swept the instruments on the laboratory table to the ground.
"Ah..." The sound of glass breaking scared me so much that I covered my ears and screamed.
Woohoo, when Dad gets angry, he’s even scarier than Yilan!
"You always ignore what I say. You like to study these fictitious things, right? I ask you to do research and I ask you to set up some crappy association, but I want to see what you can study with..." While roaring, Dad smashed the entire laboratory like a madman.
Finally, Dad turned around, and the seat of the high stool brushed against Uncle's nose. Uncle was stunned, and Dad stared at him coldly.
"I've said before, I have no right to ask what you want to pursue, but if you dare to touch a hair of Xiaoqian, I will never forgive you!" Dad emphasized coldly, making me shiver unconsciously.
"Dad... Dad..." I wanted to say something, but as soon as I opened my mouth, my teeth started chattering.
"And you!" Dad threw away the stool in his hand and glared at me angrily, "I have always told you to study hard and stay away from your uncle. Do you think you have grown up and don't need to listen to me?"
"No, Dad, I just..." I argued, but the fear in my heart made me speechless. I could only shed tears in vain, choking with sobs.
"It seems that I can only send you to study abroad, so that you won't always meet those idle people and become crazy." Dad grabbed my hand and walked towards the door. "What a crappy photo album! I'll burn it when I get back."
After saying that, my father picked up the photo album he had thrown on the ground, took me away without looking back.
When I came to my senses, I was locked in the room by my father. Although I have always been afraid of my father, this was the first time I saw him get so angry.
I know that my father and uncle have always disagreed, and I also heard from my uncle that he and my father had a falling out because he talked to my father about the black magic in me. However, if my father really didn't believe it at all, he could just ignore it. He was so excited, which was very different from his usual way of dealing with things. Could it be true that my father had black magic, as my uncle said, and my seal was also related to my father?
The moonlight is hazy, and thick dark clouds cover the bright moon layer by layer. No matter how beautiful the moonlight is, it is eventually dimmed by the dark clouds.
How are Ino and Yilan? They didn't go to school again today!
