Hearing that Zhao Qing recognized himself, the meat monster in the cage suddenly became quiet again.

"Uncle Scarface" is not its name, or even its previous nickname, this title was given by Zhao Qing, and only Zhao Qing will call it that.

Because Zhao Qing's memory is not good, it is difficult to remember everyone's names, and she has a very serious face blindness, so she has created her own memory method. She will identify a certain characteristic in a person's appearance and associate this characteristic with this person in order to strengthen her memory.

For example, she will remember the silver-haired Bai Ye, the phoenix-eyed Hua Wuyang, the mustache's D president, and Mu Fei's eyes with different colors...... These people were able to associate their characteristics with their names because they had seen them more often, and for many others, she simply gave them nicknames with their characteristics.

These nicknames have no malice, they are purely for the convenience of her memory, and those who know her a little better know it, so they don't care that she calls herself by these nicknames.

"Uncle Scarface" is one of them.

"Uncle Scarface" is not really full of scars, there is no scar on his face, but there is a birthmark the size of a fingernail under the earlobe of his left ear, that position is quite hidden, and it does not affect the view at all, even if ordinary people see it, they will not feel that there is anything wrong, but it was found by Zhao Qing and used as a marker for him.

For the fact that he was inexplicably nicknamed, "Uncle Scarface" doesn't mind at all. He had known Zhao Qing for some years, and he was a scout in the guild when she first joined the guild.

He remembered very well that Zhao Qing, who had just joined the guild, was always confused. If you don't pay attention to it, you can get lost. Often crying and not being able to find their own place to live.

He thought at the time. How could such a little guy become a hunter and fight demons?

Zhao Qing is the same age as his niece, and he has no family, so he naturally treats her as a junior, as long as he meets her in the guild, he has to take care of her a few words, and the two become familiar with her after a few times.

I don't know if this is a year-old friend.

"Uncle Scarface" always thought like this at the time, and it was funny when I thought about it.

As a scout, except within the guild. He often interacts with hunters while working. There have been a few collaborations with Zhao Qing, and at this time, he knew that this girl was not as weak and helpless as she appeared on the surface, and she was very sharp in fighting demons, which was like two people in her usual life.

But despite this, "Uncle Scarface" is still not at ease, and every time she meets Zhao Qing, he always tells her to be careful, take care of her daily life, take care of this little hunter like a daughter, and sometimes need to help her take care of her little monster. He still remembers, when her little monster died. How sad this little girl was crying in front of herself.

Did she raise a new monster later? After leaving the position of a scout, "Uncle Scarface" has been thinking about this confused little girl.

Since there is no family. I don't know what else I can do other than the guild's work.,After retiring, "Uncle Scarface" has become a peripheral member of the guild, and his life is much calmer than before.

However, this kind of calm is only a façade, knowing the existence of demons, he can easily become suspicious of the people around him, and he can't make further contact with normal ordinary people, which is the dilemma that most scouts face after retirement. Fortunately, the guild has solved this problem for them.

In such a superficially peaceful life, "Uncle Scarface" often wonders if he can still see the confused little girl, he wonders if there is someone else who can take care of her instead of him after he leaves, and sometimes he also worries about whether she will encounter danger in the mission.

It's just that he didn't expect that this would be the case when they met again.

I turned out to be like this.

After being caught by One-Eye, he was forced to become an experimental material for the demon, and was forced by One-Eye to take various drugs.

At first, the reaction was not very violent. Aside from the occasional ache, he responds much better than most.

After seeing with his own eyes that many people lost their will and became the walking dead, "Uncle Scarface" was also a little glad in addition to being sad and painful, and he was thinking at the time that it was good that he didn't become like that.

But then, he longed to be one of those walking dead, at least those people could remain in their human form.

When his body began to change drastically, One-Eye came to see it once, and said with a slightly regretful expression of disgust, "It's a pity, I thought it was a success", and it never appeared again.

They were kept in this basement and left to their own devices, with only a few who could obey One-Eye's orders taken out and used as combat power.

After being locked up in this dark place, "Uncle Scarface" is not thirsting for death every minute.

Pain, rancidity, hunger, restlessness...... All the negativity torments them all the time, and their ears are filled with all kinds of painful sounds, and they think that hell is nothing more than that.

However, what makes people more and more desperate is that they have been alive and surviving.

It seems that they have demonic elements in their bodies, so ordinary methods cannot kill them, not even hunger and thirst.

Gradually, "Uncle Scarface" feels that his consciousness is being consumed by pain, that time is no longer important, and that he feels that he has become a pile of rotten meat, nothing but alive.

The long and endless darkness and pain made him gradually lose himself.

Then, he heard a voice.

Girl's voice.

Delicate and crisp, with a hint of confusion.

The familiarity of his heart, which had long stopped, jumped again.

He was on the verge of forgetting the past, forgetting everything he had been a human being, but he still remembered the girl.

He remembered her name as Zhao Qing.

He called her name with a mouth he hadn't used in a long time. He didn't know why he was calling her, but he couldn't stop, calling over and over again. I wish she could hear her voice.

But the boy didn't disappoint him and walked over to him.

She said she couldn't remember who she was.

He was anxious and wanted to tell her who he was.

He wanted her to remember herself.

In this way, at least you can prove that you were once human.

At the very least, it can be proved that what happened in his previous time as a human was not a fantasy born of his despair and pain.

If he didn't even remember her, then he felt that he probably never existed, and that he was probably such a pile of rotting pieces of meat from the beginning.

He was so anxious, never so eager, never so desperate as he was now.

Then she called out his name.

No, that's not his name, just a nickname just for her.

That's enough, though. (To be continued.) )
