11.07 21:32 a.m.

When night falls, the whole town falls into a state of "desertion" again, and the road, which is not wide in the first place, gives people a feeling of emptiness at this time.

Streetlights illuminate only the surface of the town, and many places are still shrouded in darkness.

"Ready, just around the corner. ”

Lu Ling stopped and took off the "Fei Lian" on her back, she did not choose to use the wind to break the black yarn wrapped outside, but neatly untied the rope on the outside of the gauze and quickly removed the gauze.

Kiriha, who already has a certain tacit understanding with her, knows that she dismantles the gauze without bothering to do so in order not to scare away the demons hiding nearby.

"What about all this gauze?"

"Leave it here. ”

"Oh. ”

Kiritha still put away the gauze, at least not to let it fly around in the wind like garbage.

The two of them stood in front of the deep alley, staring at the darkness in front of them, the wind blowing, the air was filled with the stench of animals, the tiles on the eaves on both sides were clicking, and below was the infinite black shadow, this darkness was connected, making it impossible to see the dirt hidden inside.

"Need a flashlight?"

"No, I know where it is. ”

Lu Ling is used to using this calm and even somewhat cold tone when she works, although she usually doesn't do it. She rushed over, deep into the darkness in front of her. Standing outside, Kiriha could only see the pale blue sword light dancing, and there was a sound of collision and tearing in the alley. The girl's knife was fast, and with each fall you could hear the crisp sound of the wound breaking, accompanied by a terrible scream.

But Kiriba suddenly realized that the air was flowing outward.

When—

The key knife was dodged by the monster and slashed at the wall of the alley.

Lu Ling secretly screamed badly, but she suddenly saw a sky-blue wind wall erected outside the alley, blocking the demon impartially, completely blocking its retreat.

"Well done!"

She couldn't help but admire, and quickly flew towards the demon, appearing in the light at the mouth of the alley. She caught up with the demon, her body spinning in the air, her sword light flying like the full petals of a blue irise.

Whew-

After a while, the demon's breath weakened, and it was already headed, fell to the ground, and no longer moved.

Tong Ye saw Lu Ling standing in front of her, she was covered in demon cyan blood, and she was carrying the severed head in her hand, and cyan blood continued to ooze from the bottom of the skull.

"Without your help, I don't know how far I'd have to chase. The girl had a satisfied smile on her face, and the tacit understanding with Kiritha made her feel the pleasure of fighting alone. "It's really careless, I didn't expect it to have the strength to run out. ”

"Don't worry so much, it's all over for today. ”

Tong Ye also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, he was also very nervous just now, after all, if the wind wall was not released properly, it would not be the demon that was blocked, but Lu Ling behind it, then the outcome of the matter would probably change completely.

"Hmm. ”

Lu Ling threw the demon's head on the side of the road, and the blood oozing from the broken neck quickly formed a pool of cyan blood.

"Make a phone call. ”

Lu Ling made a gesture

"Good. ”

Duthtime 22:12

Kiritha sat in the innermost part of the café, leaning against the window, and he looked away at the bouquet of flowers outside the window.

"What are you thinking?"

Lu Ling sat down opposite him with coffee. Kiriha looked at her childish and innocent face that had not yet faded, and it was really difficult to reconcile the girl in front of her with the bloody demon hunter.

Probably because Tong Ye looked a little strange, Lu Ling couldn't help but look at herself.

"Is there anything strange about me?"

"No, sorry. I was just thinking about something else, about what's next. ”

Lu Ling glanced at Tong Ye suspiciously, took out the sugar and milk from the wooden box, she poured these ingredients into the coffee one by one, and stirred them elegantly. She added a lot of sugar and didn't put the spoon down until she was sure that there was no bitterness in the coffee.

"What's next?"

"We don't seem to have found anything else since we hunted that parasitic species in the alley last week, right?"

"Last Week'......"

Lu Ling realized that today was November 15th, and to be honest, she had forgotten the feeling when she slashed the parasitic seed on the far right.

"That might be the last one. ”

"Hopefully, I heard from Sister Li that the disappearance rate has finally returned to normal. ”

Lu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, even if she liked the feeling of fighting, working for a long time still made people feel tired, and she wanted to rest for a while.

"And how did they deal with the families of the victims?"

"What else, the official version is that there is a psychopathic murderer in the city. ”

"Do you believe this explanation?"

"There's no reason not to believe it, it's official. ”

"That's right...... So, when are we leaving for your house?"

Tong Ye asked seemingly casually, Lu Ling knew that he was talking about becoming a formal servant.

She suddenly thought of a lot of things that she had thought about before but didn't think about it deeply, such as how she was going to explain to her father and wanted Kiripa to become her personal servant (she hadn't talked about it with Kiripa yet).

The so-called private subordinate, as the name suggests, is a private subordinate, which is similar to the meaning of cronies.

Although she has the right to choose her own obedience, it is clear that the opinion of her family is particularly important in this matter.

At first, she made Kiripa a servant for clues about demons, although so far, this original purpose has not been achieved at all; Juli seems to have mentioned this problem, and she didn't take it too seriously at the time; until as she deepened her understanding, Lu Ling gradually found that working with Kiripa was a very comfortable thing, and the personalities between the two were very compatible, and there was also a pretty good tacit understanding.

"Why don't you speak?"

"I'm thinking about things. ”

"So-"

"Sure enough, I still feel like there's a lot to talk to you about. ”

"Say, I'll listen. ”

"First of all, my family is also a well-known family in the warlock world, and the descendants of the family are qualified to choose private servants, that is, cronies and the like. This is very important to the members of the family, and I want you to be my personal servant. ”

"Your personal servant...... This should convince a lot of people, right?"

Tong Ye soon understood why Lu Ling was a little troubled.

"yes. ”

Lu Ling sighed and took a sip of sweet coffee.

"Actually, you don't have enough faith in me, do you?"

"It's not like that......"

"I guess you think your family will not be happy enough with me"

"Hmmm......"

Although she felt a little sorry, Lu Ling nodded frankly.

"I'll do my best. ”

His serious appearance touched Lu Ling a little.

"Kiriha, there really isn't much freedom to be a servant of our family. ”

Maybe she still doesn't have much confidence, Lu Ling unconsciously began to persuade Tong Ye to give up, she knew that even if she became a servant, if Tong Ye couldn't become her own personal servant, then she would definitely feel a little lost.

"I thought about it, I thought it would be nice to work with you – I thought it would be nice to give you a hand. ”

Kiripa said with a smile "out of nowhere".

“...... You don't have to say it so bluntly. ”

Lu Ling said uncomfortably.

"And what shall I say?"

"Forget it, I'm actually glad to hear you say that. ”

At this time, the flower shop behind the corner of the city had already pulled down the roller shutter, and the time had reached 22:40.

"Are you hungry?"

"It's okay not to say it, but I'm really hungry when I say it. ”

"Going for a late-night snack?"

"Finish this cup of coffee. ”

As they were about to leave, it suddenly began to rain.

"You brought an umbrella?"

"Brought it. ”

Tong Ye took out the umbrella from his coat pocket, and Lu Ling walked slowly in the rain next to Tong Ye.

"You come in a few and be careful of getting wet. ”

"That's fine. ”

Tong Ye knew that Lu Ling had a stubborn character, and he didn't persuade much, but he just tilted the umbrella towards the girl, and most of his shoulders were suddenly exposed in the rain.

"Is there any clue to the 'man' I said last time?"

"Not at all, I guess after the death of his mother, he left Deshire. ”

Of course, Kiriba knew that the "Insect Master" had not left Deshire, and even lived in this small town on the edge, but he still chose to remain silent on this matter.

"I've always wondered, what kind of means did that person use to control those six police officers through parasites?"

He subconsciously changed the subject.

"I've heard that there are people who can communicate with demons. ”

"Communication demons?"

Kiroba remembered that when he met the insect master a while ago, the other party seemed to have said something similar to him.

"I don't know exactly how to do it, after all, it's something that belongs to a few people. ”

"Okay. By the way, there's one more thing I've always wanted to ask you. I remember the last time you said that your father didn't force you to be a demon hunter, so why did you choose to be a demon hunter in the first place?"

"Why, didn't you find out last time?"

"Last time? do you mean the time you came back from Northbridge?"

"That's right. ”

"In other words, you chose to be a demon hunter because you like to hunt demons?"

"To be precise, I like exciting things, like fighting. ”

When Lu Ling said this, she had a serious expression on her face.

"This hobby - how did you find out?"

“...... When I was a child, I guess I found out in the middle of a fight with my siblings. ”

Hearing this reason, Kiriba couldn't help but laugh.

"What's so funny about that?"

"Your other siblings aren't all hunters, are they?"

"What do they say, if you want, you can be a demon hunter at any time. ”

"So, there's just no interest, huh?"

"I'm not interested, so to speak. ”

They walked and walked, and before they knew it, they had reached the arch of the night market.

"Haven't we decided what to eat yet?"

"The grilled fish tasted good. Lu Ling clicked on a shop over there, with a nostalgic look on her face. "Let's just eat grilled fish. ”

"Good. ”
