"I'll go up and take a look first, that person should be awake at about this time, you sit down first."

"Okay."

Li Nian got up from the sofa and walked to the stairs.

Huang Quan looked at him from behind, and he was actually a little curious about the true appearance of the man-eating monster that he had just talked about in the topic.

Li Nian walked a few steps, but suddenly stopped, moved the tips of his ears, raised his eyebrows, and looked up at the stairs.

Huang Quan asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"Looks like I don't need to call, she came down on her own."

"Huh?"

Huang Quan was stunned for a moment, and also looked at the place where Li Nian was looking.

Knock knock, then she also heard a faint sound, it was a foot on the plank, someone came down from the stairs.

The man is coming down.

She also hurriedly got up from the sofa, a little nervous in her heart.

First you can see a pair of bare feet, following, leaning on the railing, the whole person slowly walked down, you can see the sloppy and bloodstained dress, dull blonde hair, when a face appears, it is a youkai named Lumia in the image of a girl.

Noticing that when Li Nian stood there looking at her, she also stopped and cast her gaze.

It was a rather haggard look.

The two looked at each other, Lumia subconsciously opened her eyes again, lowered her head silently, and after a while, it seemed to be brewing, and when she raised her head again, she squeezed out a miserable smile on Li Nian's face.

"Yo...... Good morning, Mr. Lee. ”

But Huang Quan felt that this atmosphere was so depressing.

Li Nian didn't mind, waved his hand and said good morning calmly, turned to face Huang Quan, and pointed to the bag in front of her.

"Bring it."

“…… Oh. ”

Huang Quan handed over the bag, Li Nian took it, raised his hand and threw it to Lumia.

The latter subconsciously caught it, showing a puzzled expression.

"What is this?"

"Your clothes are obviously very dirty, and the woman didn't bring your luggage here, this is borrowed from this good man, you change it first, and then buy it later."

Lumia was silent for a moment, and looked at Huang Quan in confusion, with an expression that didn't know what to do.

Huang Quan sighed in his heart.

Under Li Nian's explanation, she no longer has hostility towards this monster.

And this look, whether it's a youkai or not, looks too pitiful.

So Huang Quan sorted out his mood, then bowed slightly to Lumia as a sign of courtesy, looked up at the gaze, and showed a gentle smile.

"Hello, Miss Lumia, are you?"

"That, you're ......"

"The first time we met, I was Isayama Huangquan, an exorcist of humans."

“……！”

Lumia suddenly showed a nervous expression.

"But please rest assured, Miss Lumia, I have already heard Li Nian's situation and trust his judgment, so I won't do anything to you, it's better to say that since you want to live here, you are my neighbor for the time being, and if there is any trouble, I will also be happy to help."

“…… Is it? ”

Lumia cast an inquiring glance at Li Nian.

Li Nian nodded and said lightly.

"You can trust her that she won't do anything to you - as long as your own sanity is not overwhelmed by instinctive impulses, and your actions don't threaten innocent people."

“…… I wouldn't be like that. ”

"I believe in your consciousness and know that you won't be like that, the problem is that unnecessary disturbances must also be avoided, and you must maintain a certain level of spiritual clarity, and I mean this in the hope that you will at least not resist eating my flesh and blood, you have to eat."

“……”

Her expression darkened visibly.

"You go take a shower, and then change into this clothes, wait for me and Huang Quan to go somewhere, I'll leave you here, I've put the 'food' in the refrigerator, wait for you to eat some stomach anyway, understand?"

When he said the last paragraph, Li Nian's voice was a little stern.

Lumia lowered her head, her eyes obscured by the shadow of her hair, and fell silent.

Li Nian looked at her with cold eyes.

The atmosphere became solemn.

Huang Quan looked at the two of them back and forth, not knowing what to say.

Ban Yu,

From the pale, chapped lips, a harsh voice poured out.

“…… I understand. ”

Li Nian squinted at the woman.

I want to confirm how much weight this promise has. But from this angle, Lumia's eyes are not visible.

He could only sigh.

"You'd better understand."

That's it.

He also turned his head and said something to Huang Quan.

"Let's go."

“…… Good. ”

Li Nian bowed slightly, no longer looked at Lumia, and walked towards the entrance without looking back.

Huang Quan hesitated for a moment and glanced at Lumia on the stairs.

She stopped talking, still keeping her head down, but she could see that she was holding the bag with a lot of strength, and her fists were clenched.

I still feel very uncomfortable......

But from Huang Quan's standpoint, she couldn't say anything, here she just bowed slightly and said, "It's rude." He trotted to follow Li Nian.

Li Nian had already stopped a taxi that happened to pass by at this time, waited for Huang Quan to come out, and when he saw her coming, he helped her open the door behind her, beckoned her to go in first, and took a step back into the car to close the door, and informed the middle-aged male driver of the destination

The driver nodded and started the car.

Huang Quan was a little worried, and he seemed restless.

"Is it okay to go on like this?"

"You mean?"

"You're like this, with your own ...... Belch. ”

Noticing that this was in the car, I temporarily changed my words, and changed the ambiguous statement to others.

“…… Isn't it okay for you to feed Miss Lumia in this way? And I seem to be resisting. ”

"How else could it be?"

“…… No, what better way? ”

"No, that's the best way to do it in the current situation. It's better to say that my side has the means to recover and can continue to provide food for a long time, and she only needs to overcome some psychological resistance, and pay such a small price to buy time, and she can already smile. ”

"You think that's pretty good......"

"There's no fundamental damage, of course it's okay. If I am not there, her wish is just empty talk, and in that way, eighty percent of them are hopeless, or, will they have to pay a heavier price to live? Anyway, I think she's lucky. ”

"Is that lucky......

I happened to meet such a power to help her, and I happened to meet this kind of me to identify with her—more fortunate than the family of the deceased we are going to now, and the deceased himself. ”

“……”

This was quite a heavy topic, and Huang Quan's heart was also stained with a haze, revealing a sad look.

The person who said this just leaned on the window edge, silently looking at the street scene outside the window, his face a little tired.

He knew that these words would definitely feel heavy for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man to listen to, but these words were originally meant for Huang Quan.

When Huang Quan is in such an industry, he must grow up faster than the children of other families, this is something that the descendants of the exorcist family will inevitably face in the future, the girl in front of her has a lot of immaturity in her thinking, she needs to think more, and grow up in thinking, in some things, her cognition needs to be corrected.

It turned out that this purpose had been achieved, and the girl lowered her head and stopped talking, thinking about Li Nian's words.

Li Nian was also happy to be idle, and gradually closed his eyes.

He wanted to take a break now.

After a while, Huang Quan came back to his senses and wanted to find Li Nian to say something, but seeing that he was closing his eyes and recuperating, he hesitated slightly, shook his head and didn't bother him anymore, so the atmosphere in the carriage quieted down.

Smooth driving without words all the way.

After that, feeling the car gradually slowing down, Li Nian opened his eyes.

The driver said, "It's here." ”

After paying, the two got out of the car.

In front of you is a three-story apartment.

Gray walls, old elevators.

Just looking at it like this, Li Nian frowned slightly.

Huang Quan also looked up at the building and muttered, "It looks like a house that has been around for some years." ”

"The accommodation is not very good......"

Li Nian shook his head.

The two entered the entrance of the building, walked up the rusty handrail, and when they reached the third floor, they found room 307 of the deceased's residence and knocked on the door.

But after waiting for a long time, no one came to open the door.

I knocked on the door again, and after waiting for a while, there was still no one.

"Looks like no one is home."

"I think so."

"Did we pick the wrong time?"

"Maybe you're going to do something, right?"

"So, you want to go home?"

"There's no need, just ask a neighbor."

I walked to the next room and knocked on the door, but this time someone came out quickly, a middle-aged woman in her forties dressed plainly.

She looked at the stranger suspiciously.

"What's the matter with you?"

Li Nian bowed slightly, said "Hello", and then pointed to the door of room 307.

"I want to ask, where did the people from that family go?"

"You are ......"

"I'm a colleague of Eiichiro Watanabe's workplace, his junior, and this is my sister."

Li Nian's mouth is.

Sister's Huang Quan nodded slightly cooperatively. He said, "Hello." ”

"Mr. Watanabe...... Units of people? ”

"Well, yes, you also know about Watanabe-senpai's tragic death a few days ago."

"Oh, yes, I know...... That's a tragic thing. ”

The woman had a slightly sad expression.

"yes, it was so sudden......"

"So, you're here to find Miss Yoko?"

That lady's name is Yoko, right......

"Yes, I've always been taken care of by Watanabe's seniors, and I'm here to visit Mrs. Watanabe this time, so she must be very uncomfortable."

"It's true, I've been in tears for the past few days, and Mr. Watanabe's sudden death is undoubtedly a huge blow to Yoko-sama. But you're a little late, and Yoko has already taken her child Xiaoqiu back to her parents' house. ”

“…… Went back to your parents' home? ”

"Yes, come and say hello to me this morning, like that, probably won't come back here in the past, think about it, her family's economy is not rich, and she has children, and the pillars have collapsed like this, so there must be no room to continue to live here."

“…… That's right. ”

"Well, so, I'm sorry, you probably won't see Miss Yoko anymore."

"That's a pity...... However, this is also something that cannot be helped, thank you for telling me this, then I will take my leave. I've got you covered. ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

The door closed slowly.

Huang Quan looked at Li Nian.

"What to do? The person has already returned to his mother's house. ”

"Don't do it, you know everything you need to know."

"Got it?"

"That's right...... Huang Quan, contact the insurance company through your relationship, I have a sum of money here, you ask them to find a name to calculate and send it to the insurance money, this matter, the countermeasures room should be able to do it. ”

“…… Is this compensation? ”

"Yes."

After understanding the other party's family situation and confirming that the family of the deceased had the need to receive financial assistance, and that the state would not subsidize it, Li Nian planned to pay out of his own pocket.

Huang Quan showed a complicated expression.

As I said to Li Nian before, the countermeasures room did not compensate those victims of supernatural events for their ability and rights.

Similar to what happened to the Watanabe family, there are dozens of incidents in the entire country.

Undoubtedly, this is a problem of the system.

But when it comes to the so-called fingers, it is obvious that it is so difficult to shake.

She felt a little angry, a little sad, and a feeling of powerlessness spontaneously developed from the bottom of her heart.

"Don't overthink it. People have to look in front of them, be realistic, and go back. ”

“…… Be. ”

"In addition, don't learn from me, there is no reference value, I am a trench, and being rich is capricious, you know."

"Die."
