Volume 1 Parasitic Species Spread Everywhere 07.What Happened Around the Crystal Egg (2)
The place where Lu Ling lives is close to the night market, so it is much more lively than other places at this time. He walked to the intersection and was stunned when the green light came on and he was about to walk past. Across the road stood a tall man in a gentleman's hat, his coat changing color, but his burly figure was hard to ignore. And the other party came over at this time.
"It's you. ”
There is no doubt that this is the third time he has seen each other.
The first time was in the park, where he saw the demons on the path behind the library after killing them.
The second time was in the early morning of the next day, under the residential building where Kiriha lived, and as a result, he got "warfarin".
This is the man who calls himself the "Insect Master".
"You didn't lose what I gave you, did you?"
The insect master walked over and saw Kiriha take warfarin out of his pocket. He took it and looked at it carefully, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"You've found a way to hatch. ”
"It just so happened. ”
"I have to say, I feel more and more that it's the right thing to do to hand it over to you. ”
"When will this baby hatch?"
Even though he had already had an experience, Kiritha still felt very nervous when talking to this person. At this moment, his breathing was a little rapid, but it was not out of his control, and he was still able to control his voice so that it at least didn't sound so shaky.
"Do you see the part of the shell that is starting to get cloudy? This egg is going to get bigger, I don't know if you noticed, it's already a lot bigger than when I gave it to you. Eventually, it will grow to the size of a human child, and he should be at least thirteen years old, I think. ”
"Thirteen?"
"Yes, this egg was given to me by an old man thirteen years ago. Although the egg has not hatched, the life contained in it is growing, but if you hatch it, it should look a little smaller, about eleven years old, after all, it is a demon, and their growth rate is not the same as that of humans. ”
The insect master gestured with his hand the size of the future "warfarin".
"I have something else to ask you. ”
"What do you want to ask?"
"This egg contains the 'Blood Demon Seed', right?"
The middle-aged man laughed in surprise.
"You know all this?"
"I asked my partner. ”
"You told her about the egg?"
The insect master's smile was full of smiles one moment, but the next moment it was as gloomy as the dark sea under dark clouds.
"Of course not. ”
Kiritha shook his head.
"I asked her about something else, and she didn't know anything about the egg's existence. ”
"That's good. ”
The insect master, who had already sunk his face, returned to his smiling appearance.
"Is it a boy or a girl in there?"
"Girl. As a small thank you for doing me a favor, I can tell you a little bit about the Blood Demon Seed. I think you probably know that the outer walls of the eggs of the "Blood Demon Seed" are all crystals, and it is very easy to distinguish between boys and girls, purple eggs are girls, and boys' eggs are red. ”
It turned out to be a girl.
At this moment, Kiriha finally determined the answer to the question "Is Warfarin's Chinese writing 'Warfarin' or 'Warfarin'?"
"Looks like you're more attentive than I thought. ”
“......”
Kiriha replied to the insect master with silence.
"I think you might be my companion. ”
"Your companion?"
"Well, most warlocks or demon hunters in this world have a hateful attitude towards demons, but there are others, like me. ”
“......。 ”
"A long time ago, because of some personal abilities, I felt that humans and demons could coexist. But, now, I realize that the idea is ridiculous. ”
As he spoke, he laughed again, this time revealing feelings of remorse, loneliness and self-deprecation, and looked a little crazy. But this emotion of the insect master seems to be able to infect Kiripa and make him no longer so afraid of the insect master. He vaguely felt that the other party seemed to be a pitiful person, otherwise he would not have shown that miserable smile.
"You're only unilaterally friendly to demons right now, aren't you?"
"No, I'm the same for humans and demons, I'm equal, but I no longer believe that humans and demons can coexist. ”
"So your equal approach to humans is to hide the mother body, and then parasitize the demon eggs in the human body, so that they can be called the nutrients of the demons?"
Kiripa couldn't help but tease, obviously he didn't think much of the insect master's words.
"Personally, both humans and demons are equal, so it doesn't matter who is the food and who is the hunter. ”
The insect master's gray-pink lips grinned slightly, revealing two rows of yellowed teeth in his smile.
"What exactly is your purpose?"
"I told you, you'll always know. ”
“......”
"It doesn't make sense for us to talk about things like this, and one of the most puzzling things about human beings is that they always like to put themselves in their own shoes, to argue with people who are looking at things from other angles, endlessly, meaninglessly. You've asked me so many questions, it's my turn to ask you. ”
"What do you want to ask?"
"What did you name this kid?"
"How do you know—"
"Honestly, I think you're the kind of person who thinks things as well as possible, so I think you should think about it. ”
"Don't talk like you know me well. ”
The insect master looked at Kiripa with a smile, and it turned out that he did know some about Kiripha, even more than Kiripa himself.
Warfarin, pronounced Warfarin in English, W-A-R-F-A-R-I-N. ”
"The name of the antithrombotic drug is surprisingly appropriate. ”
The insect master smiled with satisfaction, and he returned the eggs to Kiripa and helped the heavy sunglasses.
"You know about this medicine. ”
"Didn't the pharmacy over there hand out leaflets some time ago? ”
Kiripa was stunned, and suddenly had a feeling of "he also lives here". All along, he only regarded the other party as the "invader" of the town, and never thought that the other party also lived here.
But in fact, whether it is ordinary people or demon hunters or magic hunters, all the people here live here, which frees Kiripa from the unreal feeling that has always been.
"You're here as a parasitic seed, not afraid that I'll reveal your whereabouts?"
The conversation had come to an end, and Kiritha suddenly wanted to try to threaten the other party.
"So, do you dare to do that?"
The other party in turn asked Kiriha playfully.
The answer, of course, is "NO".
Kiritha was silent again, he felt like he had done something stupid.
"It's not early, if it's okay, I'll go first. ”
After saying goodbye, the insect master turned to leave.
Kiriha remembered the night he got "Warfarin", and the insect master seemed to leave simply like this. Until the other party disappeared at the end of the field of vision, he was still a little stunned. When I came back to my senses, I found that some cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
