The footsteps echoed evenly and steadily in the open underground, and the smell of dust kept rushing around, in this night, which would be absolutely dark without the moonlight, Yuzu had to do her best to keep up with the footsteps of Ao Sakura who was walking ahead, while forcing herself to write down the situation around her.

However, it's really hard to imagine what Ao Ying is thinking now, obviously he was still an enemy a second ago, but he was relieved to give his back to the other party in the next second, and he didn't even deliberately restrain his actions. It's not so much fearlessness as it is more like understanding the enemy and showing calmness.

However, because of this, and only because of this, there is something that has to be asked. When will this question be answered by Ao Ying? When will it be impossible for her to refute it?

"It's here, Sister Yuzuri."

In the darkness, Ao Sakura snapped her fingers, and the flames that were gradually burning in her hands finally barely lit up the surroundings. The firelight reflected Ao Sakura's face, still as lifeless as the night before, completely devoid of the vitality that Ao Sakura should have.

"Didn't you always want to know what I was doing?"

Ao Ying's hand waved to the side, "Then grant your wish." ”

The flames gradually burned, getting stronger and stronger, obviously there was no combustible, but it was still "warm" enough to dispel all the cold and darkness around it. At the same time, it also made Ao Ying see the scene that although she already knew, she didn't want to believe it.

"Yes...... Are you talking about arms? ”

It's pitch black but exudes dangerous things, and to be honest, no amount of bleaching them can hide the smell of gunpowder on that body.

Sure enough, Princess Yingjiao was not wrong, Ao Ying was really preparing something alone that couldn't be said.

"That's not enough. It's just some gadgets, and although it's basically useless to deal with youkai, it's much better when it comes to dealing with ordinary people. ”

Ao Sakura laughed and looked directly at Yuzu, "What's the matter, it's not impossible if you want to try it?" ”

“…… Ao Sakura. No, let's put it another way. ”

Ah, the time is ripe, though it's not something to be happy about. If it's now, Ao Sakura, at least this "Ao Sakura", there is no reason to refute it.

"Who are you?"

Yuzu took a step back, even though there was no way back behind her, "Although you are exactly the same as Ao Sakura." But...... Who are you? ”

"Hmm, do you see that?" Ao Ying pursed her lips, "But I'm me, Ao Ying, the Dragon King of the North Sea." ”

"Don't lie! If you're not a fake, why don't you know what's going on at night during the day!? And the personalities are also completely different, it's simply ...... It's like ...... over time."

Like a personality switch over time?

"Whew, so that's it. I am who I am, Ao Sakura. Ao Sakura sighed. If you think I'm a fake, you just keep me here, and then you won't be able to find me during the day. But Sister Yuzuli, you guessed it right, it's ...... Like a personality mutation? ”

Ao Ying's blood-like eyes reflected the light of fire, almost indistinguishable from burning. If Ao Ying is a willful and sunny lively girl during the day, then at night this is probably the complete opposite.

But I'm afraid it's the same as what Ao Ying said. They...... It's all one person. A guy who forgets all the painful things during the day and leaves them to the one at night to use for himself. What kind of pain it is!

"Sister Ao Ying, almost all those brothers and friends who grew up with me died at the hands of your dear sister Banqing. So, do you understand? Ao Ying bent down, "When I heard that woman died, I was the first to disbelieve it. Anyway, the woman who can use everything to make use of it, it's easy to hide a little bit of existence, right? I'd love to see her, and ......."

"Is this what you two think together? Or is it just you!? ”

"Hmm, who knows?" Ao Ying pinched her paws, "But Sister Yuzuli, you've heard a word...... Is it called a heart demon? ”

Here it comes!

The attack came without warning, and although Yuzuri dodged sideways because of her long-standing premonition of bad luck, the claws that almost didn't have any problem cutting through steel still cut her hair off.

Run away, or subdue her on the spot?

Ao Ying, who turned around, reached out and attacked Yuzuri's neck, easily pushing the other party to the ground.

I can't hesitate for a second longer!

"Ao Sakura! Wake up! ”

What was originally just an expectant shout actually really worked, and Ao Sakura's claws that grabbed Yuzuri's neck suddenly stiffened, and taking this opportunity, Yuzu also kicked Ao Sakura away and turned around and ran towards the exit.

That's right! This Ao Sakura is not that Ao Sakura, but it is also the "Ao Sakura", at least in the daytime, she must still be sleeping in her body, and she must be able to hear the call of others as she did just now. But now just relying on her own strength is not enough to help the real her, obviously on this night, Ao Ying's body belongs to that "heart demon".

It's just that in the end, what kind of way can completely make this "heart demon" disappear!?

"Miss!"

From the entrance, there was a shout from Chihu, and he immediately picked up the too-slow yuzuli. Chihu's seemingly feeble tail flicked, leaving trails of smoke and dust in the already dimly lit basement.

"Miss! Now a fire is ......"

"Wait, while there's still time, let's hurry up and bring the golden deer first."

While enjoying the treatment of a hitchhiker, Yuzu turned around. Maybe it's because of giving up, Ao Sakura didn't catch up again.

"I'm sorry, but I can't stay here any longer, at least we have to leave overnight. If you can, let me take the golden deer away while those dragons haven't noticed yet, and you can pick up Chihu outside. ”

"Yes. However, please be safe. After a pause, Chihu said, "Although it's just intuition, I personally feel that Ao Ying...... Something is wrong. ”

"I'll save that for later."

At the very least, come up with a solution. The real Ao Sakura remained in her body, and what appeared at night was the indifferent and ruthless demon with only revenge. The bell still needs to be tied to the bell, maybe only according to what the demon said, try to find the person who can really save Ao Ying? (To be continued......)
