As expected, just as Lin Bai had guessed, the moment the pendant was put back, the monster immediately stopped feeding.
It quickly put away all the spikes and desperately drilled in the opposite direction of the pendant, trying to distance itself from the pendant.
Such a scene made Lin Bai completely convinced that the monster was very afraid of the pendant.
At the same time, he also knew that the black gas from before was most likely absorbed by the pendant instead of entering it by itself.
“It seems that this pendant can restrain this kind of power…”
Lin Bai muttered to himself with a trace of joy in his heart.
He finally had a way to deal with it.
Moreover, he also believed that since the pendant could allow him to predict the future in a half-dream and half-dream form, it could definitely provide more relevant clues.
With clues, he could predict the future, and it would also be able to suppress the other party to a certain extent.
If he still couldn’t defeat the other party in this way, then Lin Bai felt that there was no need for him to continue living.
“Looks like the heavens are helping me.”
“Wang, you’re dead for sure.”
Lin Bai sneered, put on the bracelet again, and quickly returned to the room next door.
Yu Jinmo was almost asleep. When he vaguely sensed that Lin Bai had returned, he mumbled and crawled into his arms.
His usual reserved and shy self when he was awake had all disappeared. There was only intimacy and attachment.
Lin Bai could not help but gently kiss Yu Jinmo on the cheek.
Yu Jinmo groggily raised his hand to scratch his cheek, and then forcefully pushed himself into Lin Bai’s arms. He slept very soundly.
Lin Bai quietly hugged her and admired her sleeping face.
After a long time, Lin Bai reluctantly moved his gaze away and returned his attention to the pendant.
He still had too many unknowns about this pendant. He had to study it carefully.
Lin Bai held the pendant in his hand and looked at it over and over again.
But no matter how he looked at it, the pendant was no different from before.
If he had not seen it absorb the black gas with his own eyes, Lin Bai would have been fooled by its appearance.
He remembered that the pendant seemed to have absorbed the moonlight when it was under the moonlight, so Lin Bai placed the pendant where the moonlight could shine and quietly observed its changes.
However, after waiting for a long time, the pendant did not change at all.
The way the light flowed before seemed to be just an illusion.
Lin Bai did not give up and tried many different methods, but there was no result.
From the beginning to the end, the pendant maintained its original appearance, as if it was just an ordinary stone.
After several futile attempts, Lin Bai could not help but feel a little frustrated.
He felt that there was no point in continuing to try. More importantly, he could not think of any other methods to test it.
Therefore, he had to give up for the time being and stop trying to study the secret of the pendant. He slept peacefully with his arms around the dark ink.
In his trance, Lin Bai had another dream.
This time, he dreamed of a small room with no windows.
There were no furnishings in the room, not even lights. There were only countless candles.
Those candles were in the middle of the room, forming a huge hexagram.
In the center of the Hexagram, there was a black cloth doll the size of a palm.
The workmanship of the doll was extremely poor. Its facial features were sewn into a mess, and its mouth was wide open with sharp teeth inside. It looked strange and terrifying.
Outside the Hexagram Array, a man in black was kneeling.
He was none other than Wang Chenyu, the scumbag who had almost destroyed Jiang Yu’s entire life.
At this moment, Wang Chenyu’s eyes were tightly shut. His hands were clasped together as he chanted something.
However, what he chanted was neither Buddhist nor Daoist scriptures. The pronunciation was very strange, and it was impossible to tell what language it was.
As he chanted, wisps of black gas slowly drifted into the house from all directions and finally entered the body of the black cloth doll.
As more and more black gas was injected, the black cloth doll gradually opened its eyes.
The pair of eyes shone with a scarlet light. Lin Bai felt a chill run down his spine just by looking at them.
At that moment, Lin Bai even felt as if he was looking into the eyes of a devil king.
In the next second, the black doll suddenly stood up and stared fixedly in Lin Bai’s direction!
A terrifying sense of oppression swept across the sky and earth.
Lin Bai was greatly alarmed and instinctively wanted to dodge.
Then, he was pulled out of the wall by another force.
The originally clear dream was instantly covered by a layer of thick fog, and nothing could be seen clearly.
However, he could still hear the sound.
“What did you let in?!”
The black cloth doll’s voice was shrill and shrill, and it made one shudder.
Wang Chenyu hurriedly replied, “I, I didn’t let anything in…”
“Hmph!”
The black doll snorted and majestic energy gushed out.
The fog in front of Lin Bai’s eyes instantly turned pitch black.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Bai felt an invisible force sweep across his body.
However, he was still protected by another mysterious force and was not truly touched.
It was as if he was separated by a layer of protective clothing and felt water flowing over his body.
He only felt it and was not affected by it.
Perhaps out of protection, Lin Bai felt that he was pulled further away by the other force.
This time, even the sound became very blurry.
However, he could still barely recognize the content.
The black doll asked, “Why is there so little energy this time?”
Wang Chenyu answered with fear and trepidation, “Sir..Sir Oracle, I don’t know why this happened. I hurt more people than last month…”
“Then why is there less energy!” The black doll screamed.
Wang Chenyu repeatedly kowtowed and said, “Sir Oracle, please spare my life. I really don’t know! There seems to be some energy that hasn’t been sucked over. I don’t know if something went wrong in the middle.”
“Please show me mercy, Lord Oracle. Please give me some time to find out what went wrong.”
The black cloth doll said coldly, “I’ll let you off this time for the sake of your good performance. If there are still so few next month, you can go to hell!”
Wang Chenyu continued to kowtow.
“Rest assured, Lord Oracle. I’ll double the sacrifice next month and make up for all the missing this month!”
Lin Bai could not hear the rest of the conversation clearly.
He was pulled further and further away by the mysterious force until he completely woke up from the dream.
The moment he regained consciousness, Lin Bai felt a piercing pain in the depths of his brain.
His intuition told him that this was a side effect of overusing his mental power.
Lin Bai endured the splitting headache and carefully recalled everything he saw and heard in his dream.. Finally, he vaguely had more guesses in his heart.
