Chapter 289
Tohno Shiki glanced at the smiling Hakuno with a strange expression. At this moment, he felt inexplicably that this man didn't seem very reliable...
It was already evening when Bai Ye brought Tohno Shiki back, and if there was another delay, it would have already turned dark.
"If you don't mind, how about inviting guests to have dinner here?"
This was the polite invitation that Tono Akiha sent to Hakuno after he came back.
"This is good, let's do it!"
Before Hakuno could say anything, Tohno Shiki stepped forward and eagerly agreed for Hakuye, making him roll his eyes.
"However, I don't have anywhere to go anyway, so it would be nice to enjoy the delicious food from the big family!" Bai Ye agreed.
"No place to go?" Tono Akiye glanced at him in surprise, and then remembered that Hakuno had said that he was a traveler before, and he immediately became enlightened.
"Um, Qiuye..."
At this time, Tono Shiki hesitated, but then asked Tono Akiha, "Don't we have many rooms in our house? Can I borrow a room for Mr. Hakuno to live in?"
Although he said this, Tohno Shiki's tone at the moment seemed a little unfamiliar, and the expression on his face was a little far-fetched. It's no wonder that although they are brother and sister, they have not seen each other for eight years, and when they met, He made the request, which actually made him a little embarrassed to say it.
The moment he heard Tohno Shiki's request, Tohno Akiha immediately stopped and frowned deeply, feeling that it was difficult to make a decision.
Tono Akiha has a calm temperament and hates noisy environments. It can be seen that there are only a few people in the Tono family now.
But despite such a personality, if it were Tohno Shiki's request, she would not refuse it under normal circumstances. After all, this self-proclaimed traveler could not see anything weird, so Xingjian's room was also No problem.
However, at the moment, the Tono family is in a very special situation. If outsiders are allowed to live there, there may be danger——
If someone else had made this request, Tono Akiha would have refused without hesitation, and politely kicked Hakuno out of the Tono house after dinner.
However, if this person was her brother, Tohno Shiki, she would rarely hesitate. After all, it was her brother's first request after returning home. If she refused directly, the relationship between the two would probably become worse. Alienated - that was definitely not what she wanted to see.
Normally Tono Akiha, because of his resolute personality, would solve everything quickly and neatly, and would never face such a difficult-to-decision situation. But at this moment, for Tono Akiha, the situation is extremely contradictory.
——The situation faced by the Tono family and her brother's request forced her to hesitate.
"Miss Qiuye, isn't this great? It would be lively if there are more people!"
But just when she was hesitating, Kohaku came up to her with a smile and winked at Tono Akiha, which made her wake up instantly.
"Well, if it's just for one night, it's okay!"
She reluctantly agreed, but also specifically re-read the word 'one night'. Even so, Tohno Shiki still showed a happy smile.
Such a scene fell into Bai Ye's eyes, but it made him narrow his eyes.
At this moment, he was finally sure.
There must have been some abnormal situation that she didn't know about in the Tono family, and the injury suffered by Tono Akiha may also be related to this.
Chapter 319 Protecting the existence of the two sisters
Night fell, covering the earth with a thin black cloth, and a few stars twinkled in the sky.
And in the Tono family's annex——
"Mr. Baiye, are you asleep?"
Amber's tentative voice came from outside the door.
In the room, Bai Ye was lying motionless on the bed, breathing steadily from his mouth and nose, as if he had fallen asleep.
"Have you gone to bed?"
There was a low voice whispering to oneself outside the door, and then there was the sound of gentle footsteps, which quickly disappeared as they gradually faded away.
After the girl outside the door left, Bai Ye on the bed suddenly opened his dark pupils and looked in the direction outside the door with a very meaningful look.
…
Main building, inside Shinhisa Tono's study.
The originally locked door was opened and ajar, and a faint light lit up in the originally dark room.
The maid Amber, who seemed very lively during the day, had a serious face at this moment. She quickly walked to the door of the room, gently opened the ajar door, and walked in.
Immediately, there was a slight sound of conversation coming from there.
"Miss Qiuye, the guest has gone to sleep. It seems that the sleeping potion I prepared is working well!" Amber said.
"Same here, Master Shiki took the medicine and fell asleep." That flat tone was the voice of another twin maid, Jade.
"That's good. Come and help me find it together. I don't know where my father put that piece of jade." Tono Akiye's voice came out.
But the content of the conversation made Bai Ye outside the door immediately move his eyes, and then he continued to listen to the conversation in the room calmly——
"——If we find that one, we can make him stop!"
In the room, Tono Akiha said this while searching in front of the desk drawer, but a hint of complexity flashed across her face...
"But why did Mr. Shenjiu keep that thing so secretly? Thanks to this, we have been looking for it for several days and still haven't found it!" Kohaku was also rummaging around on the bookshelf nearby.
"There is no way, after all, it is the secret treasure that my father relied on to resist his reversal impulse. Of course, it must be treasured as a top priority!"
- Reversal impulse.
That is a flaw unique to the Tono clan, similar to the urge to kill.
Having said that, it is necessary to introduce the special features of the Tono clan.
As mentioned before, there are demons in this world, and there are also people who can exorcise demons. However, in fact, there is also a clan that survives by combining with demons and giving birth to descendants in order to obtain the powerful power of demons, that is, humans Tono is one such clan of demon hybrids. Generations of successors are hybrids of humans and demons. Therefore, they all possess powerful power.
However, even though he gained such power, it also left behind a sequelae that gave countless mixed-race headaches, that is, the 'reversal impulse'.
The so-called reversal impulse refers to a state in which the non-human half of the mixed-race body develops and only obeys the most primitive desires of human beings. In that state, one almost completely loses his mind and becomes something like Demonic creature.
Therefore, every hybrid has the possibility of reversal, and they all face the fear of possible reversal. Naturally, they are also looking for ways to resist the urge to reverse.
Not surprisingly, Tono Shinkyu chose the Wu Jing family's ability - to strengthen the object through the exchange of body fluids and enhance his resistance to reversal impulses.
The two sisters, Kohaku and Hisui, were found by Tohno Shinkyu from the Wu Jing family for this very purpose - they could be said to be victims for him to suppress his reversal impulse!
——However, the two people inside were saying, 'That piece of jade is the secret treasure that Shinkyu Tono relies on to resist his reversal impulse'?
Such an unexpected development almost made Bai Ye start to wonder whether the piece of jade they were discussing was actually the fragment they were looking for.
·That thing was really the savior of Jade and I. Eight years ago, if that thing hadn’t appeared, we two sisters don’t know what would have happened—"
