Kiritha looked at the insect master who was laughing wildly in front of him, and realized that things didn't seem to be going in the direction he had hoped.

"It's ridiculous. ”

The insect master laughed and said, feeling that there is really such an absurd and ridiculous thing in this world. Because the other party is that person, I have thought of a lot of countermeasures for this, after all, the person I want to negotiate with may be a demon.

But the truth is that the other party has lost his memory.

It's much easier to deal with an amnesiac person, even if it's a "demon". Because any information about him himself can become the most deadly temptation.

"What's so funny?"

"It's just a big surprise. ”

By the time the insect master said this, the smile had completely disappeared from his face.

“......”

"You're the Wind Warlock Maiden's sidekick, and the Flame Warlock who wields the Red Lotus Flame—she must not know, right? If she did, it would be another matter. Well, you should also know the relationship between this flame and that person, which should also be a secret to you...... And it's the most important secret. If you don't hide it from her, how can she keep you around?"

The insect master said a series of self-talks, and the chaotic information that surprised him in his mind was constantly sorting out.

Now he has guessed the situation of Kiriha.

"You've been cheating on them, haven't you?"

"How do you know ......"

The subconscious answer made the insect master laugh more and more wantonly.

"Have you ever thought about one thing? ”

Kiriba felt his passivity, and cold sweat continued to pour out from the corners of his forehead.

"What?"

"What would happen if they knew you were the firemancer who wielded the red lotus-colored flames. ”

Kiriba was stunned, he had been careful to avoid the question. Now that he was suddenly brought up by the insect master, he felt a little caught off guard.

“...... I do not know. ”

"The consequences are obvious—you know what the red lotus-colored flame symbolizes, right?"

"Of course, I heard her (Lu Ling) say it. ”

"Very well, what do you think they will do when they know that you have that demon symbol?"

“...... That alone can you prove that I'm the demon? Are you sure that the only demon in the world has this color of fire? Not absolutely?"

The insect master laughed again.

"You're right, but I can't prove that you're the demon. But in that case, why do you keep it a secret from the eldest lady?"

Kiriha was stunned, this sentence made him have no way to answer.

"Because you also know that it's hard for you to explain that you're not the demon, or that you don't know if you're really or not. And you also know that no one in this world is stupid enough to think about what you're talking about, and when they see the bright flame in your hand, they'll take you for granted, right?"

"At least I think Lu Ling and the others will be willing to think about what I'm talking about. ”

Kiritha was still struggling, but he understood that such a struggle was useless.

"Indeed, if this flame only makes sense to them, I think the problem will be much simpler. But you're going to explain to everyone in this world, aren't you?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Kiritha somewhat understood what the other party was talking about, and shuddered.

"What do you mean? Hehe, as long as I want, people all over the world can know that the red lotus-colored flame is here at this moment. Aren't you surprised why the 'Red Lotus Flame Flameman' didn't attract a crowd of demon hunters when he appeared here before? The reason is actually very simple, it is because the people of the committee did not spread the news, I guess they handed over the information to the Lu family and the special data processing center of the town alone. The purpose of this is simply to protect the townspeople from being affected too much. But now, the information is also in my hands, and hundreds of pursuers will arrive here if I want to, can you imagine your own fate?"

Kiritha took a deep breath and imagined such a spectacular scene, guessing that he would probably be torn to shreds by these pursuers.

However, so far, the other party has not expressed his intentions. Kiritha obviously didn't believe that the other party had gone to such great lengths to talk to him about this, just to scare and scare himself.

His mind spun quickly, constantly reviewing the conversation before and after, and finally felt some purpose in these words.

"But you didn't, and I guess there's something you want me to do. ”

"Indeed, I have one thing I want you to help me with. ”

"Can I say no?"

"What do you say?"

“...... What are you going me to do?"

After being tempted, Kiriba understood that the other party probably wouldn't kill him.

"You are indeed a smart person, and it is not difficult to talk to a smart person. ”

"I can promise you. He paused, as if he had made up his mind. "But you're going to tell me everything you know about me in return. ”

The insect master paused for a second, and the thin lips that had been cut out like a knife gradually outlined a cold smile.

"You're asking me terms. ”

"It's understandable. ”

"You may not have figured out your situation. ”

"That's why I'm going to let you hear my guess. ”

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes hidden behind his sunglasses, and looked at the tough appearance of Kiripa, and suddenly became interested.

"Interesting, I'm a little curious right now what you're trying to say. ”

"First of all, I guess you must have something planned in this town, and this matter is very important to you. I bet you won't release my information, because the arrival of a large number of demon hunters is likely to be detrimental to your plans. I don't know exactly what your plan is, but if it has something to do with demons, the Demon Hunters will definitely be able to influence them. ”

"Go on. ”

"According to what you just said, you have been coercing me all the time, and you can see that I have any use value that you desperately need, and this is my bargaining chip. And in the beginning, you treated me as the "demon", that is, you wanted to ask the demon to do it for you, so why do you have to let a demon do it? I'm afraid it's not an easy thing to do. From this I venture to guess that only me or the demon can do what you are asking me to do. ”

"All of this is just your assumption?"

"Yes. ”

"Have you ever thought that you could be wrong? ”

"If that's not the case, it's just proof you're wasting your time. ”

The insect master fell silent, and the atmosphere gradually solidified. The gray air flow on his body is still rhythmically expanding and contracting, and Kiriba can feel it, although he doesn't know what this gray air flow is, but I'm afraid that as long as he touches it a little, it will have unimaginable serious consequences. And this sense of danger made him a little breathless, he felt that his calmness and rationality were wearing off little by little, and he didn't know how long he could hold on like this.

They confronted each other like this until the middle-aged man applauded and smiled again.

"It's amazing, it's hard to imagine that you're an amnesiac guy. ”

Kiripa secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had won the bet. However, when I thought of the scene just now, I was still afraid for a while, because as long as this self-proclaimed insect master changed his mind slightly, he would face the consequences of a catastrophe.

"You're right, I do have something to ask you for. ”

The man took out a purple crystal from his arms, and instead of giving it to Kiriha, he lowered his head and looked at it carefully for a long time, it seemed that the crystal was very important to him. After taking the crystal, Kiriha looked at it. The crystal, which is about the size of a finger, feels good to the touch, and has a soft surface temperature.

When Kiritha squeezed it in his hand, he even heard a sound similar to the rhythm of life.

Plop - Plop –

Powerful and rhythmic, like a healthy heart.

"What is this?"

"Once a gift from someone very important, a rare demon egg. ”

"Demon eggs?"

Kiriha remembered the hosts who were torn to pieces by the parasitic species, and subconsciously wanted to throw the eggs out, but he realized that the insect master was watching him right in front of him, so his raised arm froze there,

"Sorry, subconsciously. ”

"I know, of course if you throw it out, that's a different result. I gave it to you because I wanted you to hatch it for me. ”

"Hatching, you think I have what it takes to do this kind of thing?"

"Of course, and you have to remember that you can only trade with me if I don't waste my time. ”

Kiritha lowered his head and thought about it, and he didn't know what to do with this egg for a while.

"I just wanted to see what this kid looked like. Don't worry, I can assure you that it won't do you any harm. When it is born, you are its owner, and you will love it. ”

"Why are you so sure I'm going to like those monsters as much as you do?"

The man lifted his sunglasses.

"The child in this egg can't be said to be a monster, but it should be ...... It's beautiful. ”

The insect master seemed to be caught up in the memories and used the word "beautiful", and his tone was nostalgic and seemed to be a little sad.

Kiriha was surprised and fell silent again, this time no longer because he was thinking about how to deal with his own situation, but because he was thinking about what kind of person the insect master was.

He suddenly felt that the insect master didn't seem to be so terrifying, so he didn't say anything more and put the egg in his pocket.

"In the future, you'll be glad you made this deal with me here. ”

Tong Ye subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he heard the confident tone of the insect master, he couldn't understand the other party's meaning for a while.

The negotiations are coming to an end.

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask me?"

It can be seen that the insect master is already planning to leave.

"What are you planning with so many parasites in this town?"

"You'll understand this sooner or later, but it's not time for me to tell you yet. By the way, you can carry this egg with you, don't worry about the little girl of the Lu family, even if she sees it, she doesn't know that this is a demon egg. As for the deal between us, all you have to do is hatch the baby in the egg for me, and I will tell you everything I know about you. ”

"What if I can't hatch it anyway?"

"Then I'll talk about it when I get out of here. ”

"You're leaving?"

"Of course, things here will end sooner or later. ”

He glanced at the time.

"Go back, it's not too early. ”

Kiriba also glanced at his phone and found that it was four o'clock in the morning.

"You haven't told me exactly what to do. ”

He saw that the insect master had turned around, and hurriedly stopped the other party.

"You don't have to do anything, just keep it with you and you'll know what you're going to do. ”

"That's it?"

"Hmm. ”

"Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

The insect master didn't answer the question, and his back completely disappeared from view.

The surroundings were dead silent, and there was no sign of anyone at all.

A dark grape-colored sky with a silver cinnamon-colored waning moon.

When he came back to his senses, Kiritha found that he was slumped on the floor tiles on the side of the road, panting heavily, and the shirt behind him was completely soaked with sweat and sticking to his back wetly, which was very uncomfortable.

Thinking of the feeling of excitement and palpitations during the previous negotiation, he actually felt a trace of joy, but more than that, he was still afraid and worried, driven by this emotion, he smiled helplessly.

But when he thought that he might be able to know some information about the past, his gloomy mood brightened again.

When he got home, he lay down in the hot tub again, looked at the amethyst-like demon eggs on the side, and thought to himself, "Is this thumb-sized thing really pregnant with demons?"

- So, what kind of demons can this egg hatch?

He remembered the word "beautiful" that the insect master had said, and for a moment he was a little incredulous. Accustomed to seeing ugly parasitic species, it is hard to imagine a "beautiful" demon.

When he walked out of the bathroom, Kiripa thought of a very delicate question again.

- Why don't you have any psychological burden on accepting demon eggs?

He knew that if he was replaced by Lu Ling, if he encountered this kind of thing, he would refuse even if it was life-threatening, right?

In the final analysis, the difference between Tong Ye and Lu Ling is that Lu Ling always maintains a cold killing intent towards demons, and while he is afraid of demons, he may also have a trace of curiosity.
