Chunming.

It's already night.

There is a bit of traffic jam at the highway intersection, and the tail lights of the car are connected in a long string, bright red as blood.

Because of Rong Mingxia's particularity and the suspicions reported by Yin Le, this case has become very special, she has been transferred from Huize County to Chunming this afternoon, and is now located in the detention center of Chenggong District, which may be the first major case handled by the newly established Heavenly Master Department to assist the public security.

Yin Le and Zhou Li, under the leadership of the staff on duty, walked along the corridor all the way in, and there were prison cells on both sides.

The conditions in the detention center are worse than those in the prison, because they are only temporary detention, there are not even beds, there is only a platform similar to a large bunk where people can lie down, but there are very many people in one cell, and it is very crowded. Even though it's late now, most people are just sitting, and their mental state is not very good because of the lack of rest.

There are more people than Zhou Li imagined.

The vests they wore were also different, some blue and some yellow, I don't know what it meant.

until you reach the end of the hallway.

Rong Mingxia lived in a single room, wearing a yellow vest and handcuffs, sitting very calmly on the edge of the bunk, with her head down, as if she was thinking about something, and she seemed to be just distracted.

Her appearance was almost unrecognizable to Zhou Li-

The skin is dark, even chapped, the lips are chapped and crusted, and the hair is not messy but oily, like two people.

"Please open the door. ”

Rong Mingxia, who was sitting on the Chase bunk, heard the voice and raised her head, but she just looked at the people outside calmly, and her expression did not fluctuate.

"Click!"

The officer on duty opened the door and was taken away by the people around Yin Le.

At this time, only Yin Le, Zhou Li, who was holding the ball, and Huai Xu, who was invisible to ordinary people, were left at the door of the cell.

"You're here?" said Rong Mingxia.

"It's coming. Yin Le walked in.

"Who are they?"

"My friend. Yin Le introduced to Rong Mingxia, "His name is Zhou Li, he is my good friend, we are all the same kind of people, this is called Huaixu, and the cat in Zhou Li's arms is the same as the monster." ”

"Oh. ”

Rong Mingxia didn't seem very interested, so she lowered her head again and continued to be silent.

Tuanzi had already raised her little paw in Zhou Li's arms, ready to greet her? But I didn't expect the other party to be so cold? She was a little at a loss for a moment, and turned her head to look at Zhou Li? Convey doubts invisibly.

Zhou Li only touched her head? Didn't speak.

"I have something for you......"

Yin Le stood in front of Rong Mingxia and took out the Chinese textbook: "You are not autonomous...... Didn't you want to kill yourself? Right?"

"What do you mean?" Rong Mingxia raised her head again.

"There's a monster bewitching you!" Yin Le said in a deep voice, "I found something you wrote on this!And I found traces of the monster's spiritual power in that place?" When you were killing? It's a youkai using its power to help you, isn't it?"

"That's it, detecting traces of youkai will alert me. Yin Le took out the mini lamp and showed it to her? After putting the lantern show down? He pointed at Huai Xu again, "This is an expert in this area, and he has also detected traces of the spiritual power of monsters in the school, maybe you still have the breath of monsters on your body now." ”

"You're wrong. Rong Mingxia looked at him.

"Why do you want to deny it?" Yin Le frowned, "The evidence is obviously sufficient?" All you have to admit is that you've been bewitched by a monster? That's not what you really think, and I can ask my superiors for advice? At least it will make your punishment much lighter!"

"You're wrong. Rong Mingxia still said, "That's my own idea." ”

"So you admit that there are youkai talking to you!"

“......”

"Youkai are good at demagoguery? Maybe what you think isn't what you really think? You're just confused by him!" Yin Le said in a deep voice? "You firmly think that he is helping you, that he is not harming you, but in fact these are what he wants you to think. ”

Hearing this, Huai Xu, who had been curiously looking at the environment of the prison cell, was not happy, turned his head and added: "Some monsters are good at demagoguery, and they are very few, you don't want to use a shot...... One shot to get that and everything! Also, for the demonic 'ability', the Heavenly Master has its own defensive ability, and it is not easy to be bewitched by nature. ”

"You don't need spiritual power to demagogue!" Yin Le retorted.

"It's a pity. Rong Mingxia's voice was calmer than Yin Le's, "But that's my own thoughts." ”

"Would you rather believe in a demon than believe me?" Yin Le was angry.

"Demons are better than people. ”

"And how many years do you want to go to jail?"

"I chose it myself. Rong Mingxia looked away, "Thank you, Yile, I will always remember you." ”

“...... My name is Yin Le. ”

“...... Yin Le. ”

"I really want to help you!"

"Thank you. ”

“......”

Yin Le was suddenly a little depressed, and he didn't know what to say.

At this time, his mobile phone rang suddenly, he touched it out and looked at it, and then looked at Zhou Li and Rong Mingxia: "I want to answer the phone......"

Zhou Li nodded.

Rong Mingxia was silent.

Yin Le picked up his phone and walked out.

He didn't go far, he was in the corridor, and his voice was not loud, but Zhou Li could vaguely hear what he said. This call should have come from his leader, asking him about Rong Mingxia, and he was reporting truthfully, but it was obvious that his words were more biased towards Rong Mingxia, and he wanted Rong Mingxia to get out of the crime.

Illegal detention and killing of four people, can it be judged as justifiable defense?

Zhou Li didn't know.

The cell was remarkably quiet.

Zhou Li didn't know which side he should be on.

But the old monster was very naughty, he didn't seem to know that the atmosphere should be heavy at this time, and he even gradually let go of himself, and in order to satisfy his curiosity, he also got closer to stare at Rong Mingxia's handcuffs.

Rong Mingxia didn't make any response to this, just let him see.

Finally, Huai Xu retracted his gaze and asked Rong Mingxia, "Did he tell you that he could help you and give you strength?"

Rong Mingxia raised her head slightly and looked at him calmly.

Huaixu shrugged and stopped talking.

The cell fell silent again.

Then Zhou Li's voice sounded: "You tried your best to escape from Begotte, don't you just want to change to a smaller place and stay longer?"

"It's my choice. ”

"Don't you want to go out, don't you want to be free?" Zhou Li wondered.

"Freedom ......" Rong Mingxia smiled, this was the first time she showed her expression since Zhou Li saw her, "Freedom can be when you run on the ridge, you can hold the hand of the person you love, or you can stand on the edge of the cliff and take a gentle step forward...... Freedom is a power of choice. ”

"So you chose to go to jail. ”

"Better than being there. ”

"So it's still a helpless move. Zhou Li understood, "You think you have no choice." ”

“...... Be. Rong Mingxia was silent and said.

"You think the outside world is terrible. Zhou Li said again.

“...... Isn't it?" Rong Mingxia was silent again, "I finally felt that the world was beautiful, and I was cut off by them again. ”

"That's right. ”

Zhou Li didn't mean to talk to her in depth on this topic, so it would become a debate, and it would be a meaningless debate. The final result is either a stalemate, or it is just that the winner succeeds in deducting his three views on the loser's head.

After a little hesitation, he took out a photo from his pocket, which was the former Rong Mingxia.

He handed over the photo and whispered, "Think again, maybe you can give yourself a chance...... Either way, you can't go wrong with a little bit of it. ”

Rong Mingxia stretched out her handcuffed hand and took the photo.

Looking at the strange girl in the photo, she didn't say anything, and seemed to be in a state of distraction or thinking again.

Zhou Li heard that Yin Le's call was almost over, and now he was in the stage of asking the leader about the follow-up progress of the matter and speaking for Rong Mingxia, he tried to persuade the leader to influence the judiciary for the sake of special times, special events and Rong Mingxia's special identity, this young man was still very naïve.

At this time, Rong Mingxia's voice sounded in the cell again, a little abrupt: "Are there parents in the world who are not?"

"Unfortunately, not less. Zhou Li replied.

"I used to watch Douyin and watch videos on the Internet, saying that this universe is very big, and it is not easy for life to be born on the earth, and we have to live well...... If we can't live the way we want, is there any point in struggling to live so hard?"

"Life is not long, but it is not short, unfortunately maybe we did not have a good life before, fortunately we have only just started this life, and we have just begun to control our own life. Zhou Li continued to answer.

"yes......"

"I heard Yin Le say that you came out to work after graduating from junior high school, but you speak very logically, and your grades must have been very good before, right?" Zhou Li quietly looked at her.

"yes......"

At this time, Yin Le had hung up the phone and walked in, his eyes moved back and forth on Zhou Li and Rong Mingxia, he didn't say anything, and gave up the previous topic, only said: "You think about it carefully, I will come to see you tomorrow morning, wait for me to go out and tell them, give your food a little better, don't be too afraid, don't think too much, I hope you can make the right choice when the time comes." ”

Rong Mingxia didn't say anything.

Yin Le quickly left with Zhou Li, and he wanted to write today's incident into an investigation report.

Half past ten in the evening.

Zhou Li and Huaixu walked side by side on campus.

"Why don't you go home?"

"It's been a long time since I had a dormitory. ”

"Shh

"Do you know that monster?" Zhou Li still has a certain understanding of Huaixu.

"Not sure, don't dare to say. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"No, otherwise it's not good to slap your face. ”

"There are no outsiders. ”

"Well, it's ......," Huai Xu paused, "In ancient times, there was a very famous evil monster, famous in the Heavenly Master Realm and the Demon Realm, and everyone called him a fascination. ”

"I think I've seen it in a book. Zhou Li said.

"Really?"

"Hmm. ”

Zhou Li thought about it for a while, it was really quite similar.

Among the many evil monsters, the Enchanted God is a very legendary existence, and there are many records of him, but they are very unclear.

Obviously, the Enchanted God is very powerful.

Although most of the gods and demons in ancient times were related to demons, few people would directly call a demon a god, which in itself is an explanation of the ability of monsters.

The reason why the evil god was called an evil god by the people of the Yin-Yang Temple was because during the initial period of time, the relationship between the human kingdom and the demon kingdom was tense, and even a war broke out. Especially those remote places, the more remote they are, the more likely they are to be troubled by youkai. Yizhou is a basin, the Yin-Yang Temple is still on the mountain, it is easy to provoke monsters, the evil god is very easy to protect the peace of the Yin-Yang Temple for hundreds of years, and is the guardian saint of the small mountain village.

In this respect, the origin of the name Enchanted God is much more legendary than that of the Evil God.

It is said that the gods are very happy to help those who have suffered great injustice, as if from the perspective of the gods, people rise up and resist, but the way of resistance is brutal and bloody. Some books say that he will respond to people's calls, some books say that he will perceive people's emotions, and some books say that he will amplify people's emotions and demagogue.

Seems to be having fun with it.

But there is no book that records the appearance of the enchanted god, as if no one had ever seen him, but only a voice that appeared in the heart of the chosen one, like a demon in the heart.

In the history recorded by the Heavenly Master, there have been many times of national turmoil, the brutality of the monarch, the uprising of the oppressor, the rebellion, etc., which have led to the misery of the people in the world and the misery of the people, all of which are inseparable from the gods. Therefore, there was a time when the Heavenly Master Realm also set off a campaign to search for and suppress the lost gods, but unfortunately in the end, it was in vain.

"Have you ever seen a mystery?"

"No, I don't even know who has seen him. Huai Xu said, "Maybe in the entire demon country, there may be only two or three demons who have seen him." ”

"For example?"

"For example, King Yu, she is the lord of all demons, even if it is this kind of evil monster, she may have seen it. For example, Ming Gong, if Ming Gong wants to find the fascination, it must be easy. Huai Xu touched his chin and analyzed, "The enchanted god makes the human world and the monster world very angry, I heard that he has led his subordinates to chase him before, I don't know what the result is, there is a high probability that there is no result." ”

"That's ......"

Zhou Li was a little disappointed.

If the pursuit of the blood demon led by the killing is fruitless, then this matter will be really too difficult.

The blood demon is the predator among the monsters, and it is born with a strong ability to hunt down monsters, and it may not be weaker than Huai Xu, but it is not as fast as Huai Xu. And the blood demon has a very strong combat effectiveness, and he can fight better than Huai Xu, and once led the blood demon to encircle and suppress the evil god, and the final result was that the evil god escaped with serious injuries and fell in a small mountain village.

"Alas......"

Shaking his head, Zhou Li walked into the dormitory area and sent a message to Brother Nan.

From a distance, I saw a girl standing outside the dormitory building with a mobile phone, and when I saw him, I immediately ran over.

"Why did you go back to your dorm room, and where did you go today?"

"It's out. ”

Zhou Li walked up to Brother Nan and stretched out his hand to hug her, and the soft feeling made him feel a lot more at ease.

"What are you doing?"

"Ask you!"

"I hit you!"

Brother Nan raised his hand to threaten, but he still didn't fight, but touched Zhou Li's head, like stroking a small pet, and lowered his voice: "Show your affection and show it farther away, and the aunt in charge of the dormitory always loves to peep at me and fall in love." ”

Zhou Li smiled.
