Looking at the openwork sword that appeared out of thin air, Gui Yuan sat up from the stool as if he had seen a ghost.

"You...... You ......"

She looked at me with a pale face, trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence. Instead of looking at her, I picked up the sword and rubbed it over and over again as if I were holding a wounded cat.

Anyway, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to treat you like this, you are the only one I can think of to help me at this moment, and please forgive me.

After apologizing in my heart, I stopped what I was doing and returned my gaze to Guiyuan. When Gui Yuan saw me put down the sword and noticed her again, the horror in her eyes suddenly magnified several times, and the next second, she screamed, hugged her head and squatted down, then buried her face in her knees, and shrunk herself into a ball.

What is going on? Did I scare me stupid? But I didn't do anything!

I looked back at He Ran blankly, hoping that he would give me a reasonable explanation for this. He Ran looked at me helplessly, grinned and showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, then got up and walked in front of Guiyuan, squatted down, and circled Guiyuan into his arms.

"Little longan, don't be afraid, there are no monsters here. Believe in uncle, as long as there is an uncle, no one dares to bully Guiyuan, don't be afraid, there will be uncles to protect you in the future, don't be afraid. ”

He Ran's voice was unusually gentle, like a mother coaxing a crying young child, patient and full of love. And Gui Yuan really gradually stabilized his mood under such comfort, and did not continue to scream.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and in a trance, I seemed to hear Guiyuan's suppressed cry. And He Ran didn't seem to care too much about this, still hugging Guiyuan, and explained to me:

When Gui Yuan was just a few years old, her parents were sucked clean of blood by two vampire bats and turned into two dried corpses. This event had a great impact on Guiyuan, as she witnessed the short but terrifying process of life and death for those closest to her. Since then, in her consciousness, all demons are heinous, and all of them should go to the eighteen layers of hell and be tortured. That's why I didn't dare to identify myself to her at first, I wanted to be close to her, I didn't want her to be afraid of me. But now it seems that you are treated like me. ”

After listening to He Ran's explanation, I realized that my quick temper caused trouble again, and immediately apologized to He Ran:

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that...... I do not know...... I was just...... Really sorry ......."

Originally, I had a lot to say, but when it came to my lips, I didn't know how to organize my language, and as a result, I didn't finish it completely for a long time. He Ran waved his hand at me, then got up, sighed, and said:

"That's it, maybe this is fate, I'm destined to miss her. That being the case, I don't have much need to stay here, but I have one more thing I'd like to ask you for help with before I go. If you can, seal all her memories related to demons, I hope she can have a happier life in the future, and don't be bothered by those nightmares anymore. ”

"But then she'll forget about you, too. ”

Perhaps I was infected by He Ran's farewell tone, and when I heard his request, I almost blurted out this sentence. I thought he would hesitate when he heard this, but I didn't expect that he just smiled and said:

"It would be great if that were the case. ”
