The knife in the girl's hand was still stained with the blood of the monster, and the monster's body was still shaking on the ground.

She shook off the cyan blood from the knife, her eyes still vigilant, as if she was perceiving the danger that might come at any time.

"Be careful!"

For some reason, although the wind was loud enough to drown out all the sounds, Lu Ling's voice could come very clearly.

The ground shook beneath his feet, and the monster burst out of the ground. The sickle claws in its hands have been opened, like a pair of scissors, and the next moment it will cut the throat of Kiriha.

By the time he reacted, he had taken a step back and dodged the monster's claws, but the monster grabbed in front of him, and in his panic he tripped over the rocks on the ground and fell to the ground.

He felt some numbness and coldness in his limbs, and at this moment, his mind went blank.

"Kiriha—"

Of course, he could still hear the girl's voice.

It's really going to die this time, right?

Kiritha thought a little desperately, but soon, he felt something.

——

Kiriba was sitting on a bench on the path, and he remembered a very special feeling in his heart at that time.

A feeling that is familiar and cannot be remembered.

At this moment, his consciousness seemed to fall into a brief pause.

He remembered seeing a fairly large meadow with flowers, which had been engulfed in flames, and from the flowers that had not yet burned out, it was the pansy flower, but soon the flowers were hollow and charred black along with the weeds.

Tongues of blazing red fire fluttered around.

Fluttering sparks are like dandelion seeds scattered in the wind.

——

As he came back from his pause, he felt a sense of familiarity, one that came from the flames around him, or rather, the crimson flame mana. It was as if he could see the flames beating, like his own blood and heart, and everything seemed to be ready for him to drive.

Time has only passed for a moment, and there are still demons with teeth and claws in front of them.

He felt the temperature in the monster's body and subconsciously raised his hand, it was like instinct, and he didn't even feel anything more natural than this.

Those red points of light that had just been seen, what the girl called flame mana, began to transform into raging flames, and began to burn in the demon's body, and with his will, it grew stronger in an instant, breaking through the monster's body from the inside out.

The monster's body was torn apart, and red lotus-colored flames wrapped around the shattered pieces of flesh, like a vicious dog released from hell, constantly gnawing and devouring the shattered body.

——

Thinking of this, Kiriba faintly felt that he should have dealt with flames from time to time before, after all, that familiarity was too real, as if it was imprinted in his soul.

——

The question that I hadn't thought about again after half a month came back to my mind at that moment.

The question itself is also his biggest secret

In mid-September, the cold air of the hospital, the clean wards, the feeling of dazed and panicked.

Among the various troubles caused by amnesia, the most concerned and concerned about -

Who the hell am I?

All sorts of thoughts swept over him, and with panic and the exhaustion of his body after using the flames, Kiritha fainted.

*

There was a heart-rending scream from the dark jungle, it was a middle-aged man, clutching his chest, but the sharp pain in his chest made him scream uncontrollably. He coughed, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood with each cough, or blood pouring into his trachea to exacerbate the cough.

"Is it a parasitic again......

Lu Ling was like a cat, quietly walking out of the shadows of the night, holding a knife in her hand, and there was a cold air on it.

The middle-aged man in front of him suddenly showed a look of help after seeing the girl, he opened his mouth to say help me, but every time he said a trachea that saved him, it began to leak, which made his voice hoarse and soft. He soon found that the girl did not do anything, but just looked at him coldly, and there was not even a trace of compassion in her eyes.

The look on his face once again turned to despair and fear.

"Save ...... Save ......"

The girl's eyes were still cold, and she looked at the middle-aged man who was twisted like a worm, and slowly raised the knife in her hand.

"It's too late. ”

This is her own words, and it is also what she says to middle age. A claw suddenly cracked open the middle-aged man's chest, and then his ribcage was torn open, containing fresh but mashed entrails, as well as the head of a monster.

The monster's head is oval-shaped, with a pointed beak at the tip and jet-black eyes on either side of the head.

The next moment, a knife slashed his head downward. When the head hit the ground, it still maintained its tenacious vitality, fluttering and struggling on the ground, like a fish stranded on the shore.

The girl's knife stabbed downward, and the silver head was pinned to the ground.

"The Third ......"

She shook the liquid off the knife and made a phone call to Orange.

"Another parasitic species has been found in the forests of the North Ring Road. ”

"The forest on the North Ring Road, opposite the station?"

"Come on. Remember to dispose of the host's corpse. ”

"Hasn't the host been eaten yet?"

"Well, the death was a bit miserable—but having the coroner sew it in his chest might be fine. ”

"It's like a tailor's shop. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

The girl hung up the phone, walked over to the disembowelment of the middle-aged man's body, crouched down, closed the dead man's rolling eyes, and then took off her coat and put it over the deceased.

She sat next to the deceased with a knife until half an hour later, when the sirens of police cars sounded outside the forest.

Juli shone the corpse with a flashlight, walked over and lifted the clothes covering the corpse slightly, and then calmly put the clothes back on, but the faces of several of the younger male police officers were already pale. Some people dressed in special costumes removed the parts of the stretcher from the car, quickly assembled them, and carried the body onto the stretcher.

"Everyone in the autopsy department has done a great job, but hopefully I can see the report tomorrow morning. ”

Except for Lu Ling and Ju Li, everyone took the police car back first.

"Talking as you go?"

After the others were gone, Juri suggested.

"Good. ”

They walked slowly along the path in the woods, and when they reached the entrance of the woods, Juri finally couldn't help but shake her head.

"The smell on your body is too bad. ”

Hearing Juli's complaint, Lu Ling was stunned for a second, and shrugged helplessly.

"Let's go to my house first. ”

"Forget it, don't bother......"

"I have a bathtub at home, so I can take a good bath. ”

When Lu Ling heard this, she was immediately a little moved.

"I don't dislike you for being dirty. ”

Juli laughed, and Lu Ling nodded. By this time, they had turned from the small road to the main road.

"How's it going today?"

"Parasitic species. ”

"Quantity?"

"Three. ”

As the hours of work have grown, their conversations have become more concise, and sometimes it only takes one term to make the other person understand what they mean.

And when it came to the "three", Juli fell into silence, because today in one day, at least three more people were confirmed to have died.

"I suspect there's 'that' hidden in this town. ”

Lu Ling suddenly spoke.

"Wouldn't it?"

"So far, I've killed more than a dozen parasites. ”

Juli fell silent, and she couldn't think of a reason to refute it for a moment. In fact, she gradually realized that this was a bit abnormal. She flipped through the town's previous special information records, because of its remote location, there were few demons like parasites in the town, and even the most ordinary demons rarely appeared.

"I think there's maybe something else. ”

"Of course, it can't be ruled out that it is anthropogenic emissions, but this amount is a bit abnormal no matter how you look at it, and you have checked the trucks that entered the town, and no one brought eggs in at all. If there is really a behind-the-scenes manipulator, then it is very likely that the person is with the mother, and the nature of this matter can be even worse than the previous situation. If you think about it, in this kind of place, a simple demon incident would make people feel strange. ”

"I still want it to be artificial, and if there is a 'mother', it's okay to say that there is no human element, if any...... It was an endless disaster. ”

The mother body is the demon that gives birth to the demon's eggs.

"Yes, disaster. ”

An hour later, Lu Ling came out of the bathroom at Juli's house and wiped her wet hair with a goose-yellow towel.

"The hair dryer is on the cabinet over there. ”

"No, I don't. ”

A blue light appeared on Lu Ling's hand, and the light turned into a wind blowing through her hair, quickly turning her hair back to its driest state. She removed a piece of gauze she had brought with her and tied her hair up high.

"Don't you wash it?"

She asked Orange as she combed her hair.

"I'm not sleepy yet, I'm going to take a shower before going to bed. ”

"Oh. ”

Lu Ling was wearing a frog pajamas that Juli had borrowed from her, although she was not too willing to wear other people's clothes, let alone such pajamas, but her own clothes had already been stained with the body fluids of the monster, no matter how she said that she had already taken a bath, she would definitely not be able to wear them again. She looked around, apparently looking for her own knife.

She found the knife resting on the coffee table, walked over and carried it in her hand, and walked to the entrance. Knowing that when she walked to the door, Juli, who was sitting in the living room watching TV, realized that the girl was planning to go back, and hurriedly called out to her.

"Just gone?"

"Hmm. ”

Lu Ling had already squatted down and started to put on her shoes.

"I guess you haven't eaten in a day, right? I ordered pasta, and if I didn't eat it, I wouldn't be able to finish it alone. ”

I have to say that Juli understands Lu Ling's thoughts very well, she knows that with Lu Ling's habits, she will definitely be hungry now, and after all, a day's demon hunting consumes a lot of physical energy, and even after dinner, she may feel a little hungry. At the same time, Lu Ling is a person who doesn't like to trouble others, so Juli cleverly used Lu Ling's character trait to squeeze the girl with other meanings in her words.

- If you don't come and eat the pasta I cooked, I won't be able to eat it alone.

Lu Ling was stunned, and sure enough, she took off her shoes and walked back.

Juli walked to the kitchen to fish out the noodles, and was stunned when she opened the cabinet and took out the ketchup.

"What sauce?"

"Mushrooms. ”

She came out with a saucer and placed it in front of the girl. The girl picked up the fork and blew it a few times, and then devoured it.

"Eat slowly, it's hot. ”

Juli guessed that Lu Ling planned to quickly solve this plate of pasta, but to her annoyance and funniness, Lu Ling actually used the wind to blow the hot pasta directly.

"Is it delicious?"

"It's ok. ”

They were silent for a few minutes, and soon it was time for the TV show to be commercial, and the ad recommended a new model of mobile phone, which was broadcast during this time period, and it was clear that it should be the sponsor of the TV show.

"You still haven't contacted Kiripa today?"

"Nope. ”

"Still thinking about that?"

Lu Ling was silent for a second and put the fork on the plate.

"I'm full. ”

"Hey, I haven't eaten half of it!"

Juli didn't expect this sentence to have such a big reaction. Lu Ling was much more decisive this time, she had already changed her shoes, got up and opened the door directly, and walked outside to say sorry. When Juri followed, she was already standing at the entrance of the elevator.

"Why don't you eat a good meal and change your clothes?" ”

This time, Lu Ling was unmoved, even if this dress made her feel a little ashamed.

"Squeak when you get home!"

Juli sighed and gave up the idea of persuading the girl to come back.

"Hmm. ”
