Chapter 28 – Soul-Eating Insect (1)

"He left," I said. Now, I kind of regretted telling Grandpa that Third Uncle gave this to me, because I knew that they would definitely fight again.

Grandpa stood up. He walked around to find Third Uncle but couldn't. Finally, he found Er Wazi, Third Uncle's best friend. "I know you can find him," he said to Er Wazi. "Tell Lin Pojun that if he doesn't want to be disowned, he better get the f*ck over here!"

Seeing how furious Grandpa was, Er Wazi had no choice but to agree to go look for him. After that, Grandpa went home. He was honestly angry now. I'd never seen him lose his temper like this before. He sat on the chair in the yard and was so angry that his face was literally livid.

After around two hours, Third Uncle timidly opened the door and walked in. He knew that he'd messed up. His expression was really awkward and his eyes were shifty when he looked at Grandpa.

"Baqian, close the door," Grandpa said.

I could sense the fire, so I obediently closed the gates.

"Kneel down!" Grandpa said, holding the pipe.

"Just say what you want!" Third Uncle said, sticking his chin up. "This is the new society. Who still kneels around?"

"You bastard, look down! Where's your shadow?!" Grandpa stood up and yelled at Third Uncle furiously.

Third Uncle looked onto the ground. I looked behind him too.

Yeah!

Where was his shadow?

My shadow was really long on the ground. Grandpa had a shadow too.

Where was Third Uncle's?

Third Uncle paled instantly from fright.

"F*ck, where's my shadow?" he yelped.

I looked at the fear on his face. I'd read Grandpa's books before and I knew what being shadowless meant.

Only the dead had no shadows!

Could it be that the Third Uncle before me right now was dead?!

"Since you died out there, why the f*ck did you come back in this disgusting skin?" Grandpa roared again.

Hearing this, Third Uncle looked at him in horror.

I was also watching him. I discovered that Third Uncle's eyes were gradually losing focus. The black part of his eyes were disappearing too. His entire body was going limp.

What was happening?

Third Uncle died from Grandpa's words?

This happened way too suddenly. I had no clue what was happening. I walked to Third Uncle and copied what I'd seen on TV, sticking a finger under his nose. Then I looked at Grandpa in shock. "Grandpa, Third Uncle is dead?!"
