Chapter 169: Life Without Love
His lips were burned with a layer of oily skin from the freshly baked roast beef skewers, and it was hot and painful.
It has just been attached to the body of this human child, and it has not been able to fuse with the body as perfectly as Zhang Lei, let alone prepare a spell for self-defense, so it was scalded by the high temperature it has always been accustomed to making, and this is probably the first and last experience of being "burned" in its life.
"Hmph, I hate human bodies!" Yan'er angrily announced, for it, in the heat below 100 degrees, it always ignores, "I will never change when I can become a human in the future! No wings, no body temperature, no feathers, and two legs! Not afraid of ugliness and impracticality, humans are inferior animals that have not evolved well!"
Zhang Lei looked at Yan'er's embarrassed appearance and asked, "Your spirit beasts will naturally become human when they grow up?"
This is originally the basic common sense that the monsters understand, and after the spirit beast becomes an adult, it can be transformed into a human after a period of cultivation.
Now Zhang Lei will begin to be a little skeptical, what kind of person will Yan'er become? And its domineering personality will become a human being, that is, it can be seen by humans as unscrupulously as it is now, what will it do......
However, the spirit beast has a lifespan of thousands of years or tens of thousands of years, and that is at least six or seven hundred years later, and when it grows up, its personality should also be ......
Zhang Lei is not sure how much Yan'er's mind can grow in six or seven hundred years, forget it, let's talk about it in the future, Zhang Lei decided not to think about this kind of problem, which is too complicated for the smart head of the nine-tailed fox.
"I don't want to become a human, what's so great about a human being a lowly animal, it's not as good as a monster. Yan'er said as she pulled the tail of a pug passing by him, pulling the little thing "whooping" and barking.
The owner of the dog turned his head and glared angrily at the uneducated naughty child, and Yan'er ignored his condemning gaze, stuck out his tongue and grimaced, and gave a look of what can you do to me.
"I'm glad you've become a human. Zhang Lei couldn't help muttering.
"What did you just say?" Flame watched the puppy walk away unwillingly.
"Nothing, let's get on playing. ”
Zhang Lei pulled Yan'er and rushed to the various facilities of the playground again, although Yan'er chattered about how inconvenient and impractical the human body was, but it was not at all proportional to its enthusiasm for playing.
"The money is gone. Yan'er played with every facility in it at least twice or more, and it didn't stop until Zhang Lei pulled out his pocket and showed it the bottom upside down.
They used to be invisible in the playground or exclusive at night, and they didn't spend a penny, but this time they realized that it was very expensive to enter the playground to play. So this became a new incriminating evidence of human health, and Yan'er began to nag in Zhang Lei's ear again.
"That fool Zhang Weilin brought me here several times, didn't he spend all his pocket money on this?" Zhang Lei thought to himself.
For the first time, he found out that it costs so much money to come here to play, and it turns out that Zhang Weilin is so generous as a fool.
Yan'er's concept of money is that if you don't have it, you will grab it, if you grab it, you will spend it, and if you can't grab the money, you will grab what you need to spend money on. So it thought about it and immediately concluded, "Let's go rob the bank and then come back and play." ”
Zhang Lei took it as if it was meant to play, sighed and said, "It's almost time, is your body okay?"
Yan'er kicked his legs: "It's not right at first, if I get out of him, he'll be dying." Come on, let's play while we're not dead yet......"
It's starting to get a little addicted to the inconvenient human body, and of course, it's not going to admit it anyway.
"Then come out, I want to say a few more words to him. Zhang Lei whispered.
Yan'er scratched her head, not understanding the purpose of his doing, and agreed a little reluctantly: "Oh. ”
As soon as Suzaku flew out of the little boy, he was still immersed in the pleasure of playing, when he suddenly felt the taste of falling from heaven to hell, and the pain and discomfort in his body began to hit his soul again, and he lay on the bench and groaned in pain and gasped for breath.
Zhang Lei sighed and cast a small spell on him, which only temporarily alleviated his pain. He was powerless about the impending physical exhaustion and death.
"The playground is so fun, it's so beautiful...... It's fun, it's beautiful......" The boy lay there, his eyes shining with excitement, repeating these two words over and over again.
"You're dying......"
"Well, it didn't hurt that much...... "The child's age makes him not very aware of death, but very afraid of pain.
"I want to ask you something. ”
"Hmm. ”
"I'm a monster. ”
"I can see that you have nine tails. ”
"I'm attached to a human boy just like Yan'er just attached to you. But I'm not going to leave because I love my mom so much...... Mom of this body,"
"I want to ask you, if you die, and there is a monster attached to you like Yan'er just now, and comes to your home to live in your place, do you know if you hate him?"
"Take my life?" the boy asked, a little startled and stupid, "does he like to be beaten, not to have enough to eat, and to do heavy work?"
"No, I mean, there's a youkai who took over your body after you died, do you hate him?"
"I don't know, I'm dead anyway, and my body doesn't belong to me anymore, so I shouldn't hate it, right?"
"But she is your mother, your cousin, the person they love should be you, but now she is occupied by others?"
"I don't have a mom and I don't have a cousin. ”
"What if so......"
"I don't know ......"
Zhang Lei asked for a long time and couldn't get the point, and was anxiously organizing the words, but the boy's breathing became weaker and weaker, and finally, his body fell softly, and a small vague soul floated out of his body.
Yan'er leaned in and took a look: "Fortunately, it's a little conscious, it's not that kind of residual spirit piece, it's probably the reason why I attached it to him, it's my credit." In this way, he may have a chance to be reincarnated, and maybe he will be able to live a better life in the next life. ”
Zhang Lei grabbed the ghost and shouted: "Tell me quickly, you won't hate me! You won't hate me for snatching your mother!"
The imp was so frightened by him that he nodded again and again.
Zhang Lei sat there dejectedly, and suddenly asked Yan'er: "Yan'er, what if I'm not Zhang Lei?"
"Huh, who are you going to become?"
"I'm actually a nine-tailed fox Xue Ruochen, I'm not Zhang Lei'...... at all"
"You're going to change your name?"
"I ...... My mom she doesn't know...... If only she knew......"
"Do you know what? Are you a fox? It doesn't matter, I'll be responsible for brainwashing her then!"
"Yan'er, I love my mother very much, and I love Zhang Weilin's stupidity, as well as my grandmother, my aunt, and my uncle......"
"You say you don't like them, and I know you're lying. Yan'er was complacent about her ability to observe words and colors.
"I am Zhang Lei, I am Zhang Lei...... I don't want to lose all this......" Zhang Lei muttered to himself, and it took a long time to grab the soul and hand it over to the ghost envoy to hold, and pick up the corpse himself.
"This was his own volition, I didn't kill him, it has nothing to do with me. Yan'er cleared up his actions first, "Where are you going to take him?"
"I will send the body back to the hospital, I will take this soul to Lu Qing, she has been a doctor for a long time, and she has a little friendship with black and white impermanence, so she can make better arrangements for him. ”
"Then I'll accompany you to see Luqing. Hey, this kid was of his own will, but I didn't kill him. Yan'er emphasized again.
Each youkai has its own rules of conduct, just as Ji Ao doesn't eat women and children, and Yan'er never treats children as the object of his hunting.
Although the boy's death is also the inevitable result of serious injuries, the most direct reason is due to the power of Yan'er's possession, and a human being can't bear it will cause death, so it knows that it will inevitably excuse itself over and over again.
"I know, I know, I don't blame you, he did it voluntarily. ”
"You begged me to possess him, and the main reason for his death was you. ”
"Okay, I know, I know, you don't have to take any responsibility. ”
"You are most to blame. ”
"I know ......"
"It's not my fault......"
"I know ......"
Zhang Lei was about to go crazy with Yan'er's nagging.
Zhang Weilin walked in the door refreshed, patted Zhang Lei's head and asked Zhang Yulan for instructions: "Third aunt, I have a holiday today, shall I take Xiaolei to the amusement park to play?"
Zhang Yulan smiled and nodded in agreement, she had too little time to accompany her only child, but fortunately, Weilin, a sensible child, always coaxed Xiaolei in a different way, took him out to play, and made him happy: "Weilin, I'll come back for dinner." ”
"I know, I like to eat Sangu's fried dishes the most, Xiao Lei, are you ready?" He saw that Zhang Lei was still smiling and didn't move, so he urged him.
Zhang Lei raised his head for a long time, and said to Zhang Yulan hesitantly: "I, I...... The other students went with their mothers......"
Zhang Yulan put down the live smile in her hand and looked at him with a smile: "Xiao Lei, do you want your mother to accompany you?"
Zhang Lei rubbed his feet and didn't say anything, but his eyes clearly showed that he wanted to go with his mother.
Zhang Yulan sighed, Xiao Lei, this child is too well-behaved, he knows the hard work of adults, so he never asks for anything, and never does anything that worries adults.
Zhang Yulan was already a little worried that this child was too sensible and would wronged himself, and it was rare to hear him make a request today, although there were a lot of housework not done, but Zhang Yulan still put down the things in her hand and said: "Okay, is it okay for my mother to accompany Xiaolei to play for a day today?"
Zhang Lei let out a cheer and stepped forward to hug his mother.
Seeing that their mother and son were about to go out, Zhang Weilin hurriedly asked, "Hey, hey, what should I do?"
Zhang Lei turned around and smiled sweetly at him: "You can help us take care of the house." ”
