Unconsciously, he looked warily in the direction of the energy fluctuations, and Yukinoshita Haruno and the workers who were paying attention to this place also nervously followed Su Rui's gaze.
Then, the building materials that the workers had placed nearby as “evidence” suddenly moved, as if affected by the tremors caused by an earthquake, and began to vibrate on the ground.
The foreman next to them immediately let out a terrified cry:
“That’s it, you see, I didn’t lie, this is the evidence of the evil spirit at work that we saw!”
“Step back.”
Su Rui ignored the foreman’s cry, reached out and grabbed Yukinoshita Haruno, who was still in a daze, and pulled her behind him.
He looked Yukinoshita Haruno up and down, then reached out and directly grabbed her necklace from her collar.
“Lord Su Rui? You…” Yukinoshita Haruno, startled by Su Rui’s actions, looked at his eyes with a hint of shyness, feeling a bit resentful in her heart:
‘Even if you want to do something like this, please wait until we get back, and besides, isn’t it very dangerous right now?’
However, Yukinoshita Haruno’s question was quickly answered, as she felt a warm light converging on the necklace she was currently wearing.
After simply infusing some spiritual power, Su Rui nodded to her:
“This necklace can ensure your safety. Now, stay far away, something might be coming out.”
“I understand. Then, Miss Kagarino Kirieda…”
Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Kagarino Kirieda, wanting to take this “inconvenient assistant” away so as not to affect Su Rui’s performance.
But Kagarino Kirieda just gave her an impatient glance, her originally blue-gold eyes turning red-gold, which made Yukinoshita Haruno, who met her gaze, stunned for a moment:
“I can help too. You can just hide away like a coward, mortal.”
Kagarino Kirieda raised her chin and gave Yukinoshita Haruno a disdainful look, then stood beside Su Rui.
“Okay, please be careful.”
Even when treated with disdain, Yukinoshita Haruno did not show resistance, but only nodded to Su Rui and Kagarino Kirieda’s backs, then turned and fled to a distance.
Speaking of taking refuge, the workers hid in the distance watching, and Yukinoshita Haruno did not run far either, but hid behind her car, her hands clasped together and placed on her full chest, nervously watching the situation on Su Rui’s side.
“What happened? I can only see these things moving around?”
Kiri Eda could not find any other clues, so she could only ask Su Rui next to her.
“A special kind of energy is affecting those building materials, it’s not spiritual power.”
Golden flames burned in Su Rui’s eyes, helping him clearly see the energy fluctuations that were like a magnetic field.
“We’ll probably need to fight later. You’re not good at this, right? Then stay far away.”
“I’m a Vampire, after all…”
Before Kiri Eda could finish speaking, she saw the shaking building materials suddenly begin to twist, finally transforming directly into a humanoid puppet.
Because it was temporarily made of rebar and concrete, the puppet only vaguely resembled a human.
Although he didn’t understand the principle, the roughly three-meter-tall puppet in front of him was indeed moving. Su Rui glanced at the workers in the distance; they were still watching.
Tsk, fearless guys, aren’t they afraid of being silenced if they see something they shouldn’t?
Su Rui didn't want to expose himself, but he also didn't want to kill these idiots for such a small matter.
So, he took out his phone, pretending to turn on the flashlight, and said to the people behind him, “Close your eyes!”
Both the workers and Yukinoshita Haruno could hear Su Rui’s voice, which he amplified with his spiritual power.
So Yukinoshita Haruno would definitely react; as for the others, Su Rui never expected them to obey.
As he turned on his phone’s light, Su Rui’s spiritual power surged.
Disguised as the phone’s strong light, a brilliance like a small sun suddenly bloomed, and Su Rui heard screams.
However, compared to being silenced for seeing something they shouldn’t have, temporary blindness from a strong light is a very small price, isn’t it?
The puppet made of rebar and concrete in front of him was not strong. While casting a strong light to blind the people behind him, Su Rui used golden flames to form an energy beam, directly melting the puppet into a puddle of molten slag.
“Problem solved?” Kiri Eda looked at the molten slag, which was no longer moving, and asked with some uncertainty.
“Yes, that energy has been completely nullified by my attack.”
Su Rui nodded, then looked at Kiri Eda in confusion: “You said you wandered alone for a long time, could it be that you actually stayed in the castle all this time and never went out?”
“Of course I’ve been out. I have a lot of experience.” Kiri Eda, who could tell what Su Rui was wondering about, immediately became a bit displeased.
The girl crossed her arms and looked at Su Rui with her red-gold eyes in annoyance, then somewhat unnaturally avoided Su Rui’s eyes, which were still burning with golden flames:
“But I’ve never encountered this situation, and logically speaking, even if something like this happened before, people who couldn’t solve it should still let information about it spread.”
“You mean, it’s possible that this situation only appeared recently? Or even just now?”
“Possibly. Could it be that some big crisis is coming?”
Kiri Eda nodded, a solemn look flashing in her red-gold eyes, then Su Rui tapped her, and she immediately clutched her head, glaring at Su Rui:
“What was that for this time?”
“To keep you from overthinking.”
Su Rui rolled his eyes, grabbed Kiri Eda’s shoulder, and pulled her towards Yukinoshita Haruno:
“Anyway, I’m here. No matter what problem arises, just solve it. Nothing has happened yet, so why think so much?”
“What you said makes sense. After all, your strength is indeed ridiculously strong.”
Kiri Eda nodded, then covered her head where she had been tapped and pouted. She glanced at Yukinoshita Haruno, who had noticed the situation, and quickly put her hand down, acting as if everything was normal.
“The problem here is resolved. Those workers shouldn’t have seen anything, but you’d best make sure they don’t go around talking.”
Yukinoshita Haruno nodded: “I understand. Please wait a moment.”
Then, after she went to speak a few words to the foreman, she returned to Su Rui:
“It’s been handled. Shall I take you back now? Or, would you like me to help arrange some…”
Yukinoshita Haruno placed her hands on her chest, her tone somewhat ambiguous.
