There was the sound of metal dragging in my ears.

By the time he came to his senses, the woman had fallen.

The ground was covered with blood, and he also fell to his knees in a pool of blood, holding a slightly rusty knife in his hand. Blood penetrates the thin fabric, and it is still warm when it comes into contact with the skin. It was not his blood, it was the woman's, the woman who fell to the ground.

The evidence that can judge that she is a woman is that the face lying on the ground is also soaked in blood. Where it was supposed to be was a blur of flesh and blood, and the meridian texture was cut in a mess. The skin was unevenly thick, but it was complete.

At least for someone doing this for the first time, it's already pretty good.

He didn't know why this was happening. He barely had a thought of his own when he did this cruel thing, as if he had just been controlled by another person. After waking up, there is no fear. He just couldn't stop shivering—from the excitement. He trembled with a hint of concern...... At least being caught by the government is a worrying thing.

His heart was beating wildly, his chest was rising and falling violently, he felt thirsty and suffocated, so he kept opening his mouth wide and swallowing the bloody air. The breath of blood filled the alveoli, pushing the excitement even higher.

"With that kind of knife...... Well, pretty well done for beginners. ”

Another man in red appeared here at some point—in this dilapidated house. He lifted a white, slender cigarette stick, and smoke spilled from his lips and teeth. He knew that the inexplicable sound of metal did not belong to him.

"She's always moving...... I had to get her to stop first. ”

Somehow, he naturally answered, neither surprised by the presence of this person, nor wary of his identity. The black-haired man in red hooked the corners of his mouth and looked at the deep crack in the neck of the female corpse with some appreciation. That's where the blood is shed.

"You're very qualified." He said slowly, "Change to a good knife, or order a special one, and you can do better with more practice." ”

He looked up at him, at the neutral and seductive face.

"If you're a woman, I don't mind if you're the second...... But you're not even human. ”

"Huh? What prejudice do you have against men, can't men be beautiful? ”

"Yes...... But it's not enough. Fundamentally, from the beginning, a woman, there is that kind of femininity, that kind of beauty that cannot be expressed in words. You don't understand, you don't understand, even youkai...... Only I can understand, and only me, only I can understand this beauty, can I appreciate it, I can have ......"

"What a cocky guy." The man waved his cigarette stick, "But I don't hate it. But...... What if it's this face? Do you feel the urge to give it a try? ”

The cigarette stick was lifted and lowered.

His pupils dilated with surprise.

The sound of metal is closer.

The barefoot boy stepped forward, but his feet were spotless. It's just that the sound of metal dragging can always be heard around him.

Bang la, bla blah.

In the darkness of the temple, the hard floor was shining with golden light, wisps and stars, which were sparks from the friction between the chains and the stone slabs.

He came to his senses.

In front of the Buddha statue, he folded his hands and knelt down reverently. The voice behind him didn't get his attention. And there was still a frail girl lying beside her—another girl. She trembled slightly, unable to move because of the pain. This scene is like a poor man with his terminally ill lover praying in the temple until late at night.

If, ignore the expensive clothes of men.

If, ignoring the blood on the man's palm.

If, ignoring the woman's fragmented face.

The man wears a white mask with red patterns painted like a wolf that always hooks the corners of his mouth.

The whole ground was covered with crimson blood, and the upper half of the woman's body and the man's clothing were soaked with blood. Everything is familiar. The barefoot boy stepped on the edge of the bloodstains, raised his toes slightly, and pulled up a sticky red thread.

"Hey......" the boy shook his head.

"It's not you who hunt me for impermanence." The voice of a young man came from under the mask. Although he could make out that he was in his thirties, his voice was unnaturally hoarse, as if his throat had been injured.

"That's it! Originally, it had nothing to do with me, but Brother Changye likes to indulge in the old man, or rather...... On the contrary, I am looking forward to you doing anything wrong in the world! Oops, or rather, just for fun? You may be a good match for that. ”

"What about the Immortal Moon Monarch?" The smiling wolf stood up, but didn't look back, "Who are you?" ”

"Wow...... Sorry for forgetting to introduce yourself. The young man folded his hands and put them on the side of his face, as if he was really sorry as he said, "Down there is Yayoi Yingyue-kun, who has come to take over the six impermanences of the Red Night—to arrest you." ”

The smiling wolf turned. Through that light mask, you can't see the hidden expression underneath.

"You don't talk less than he does."

"Huh, is that so? Not...... Probably because he doesn't have much to say about people he doesn't like. By the way, this is the first girl? Men's jealousy is just as terrible. ”

"Nine hundred and seventy-four."

"It's amazing, I can remember it this way!" Yingyue-kun was quite surprised, "No wonder that adult cares so much about you." Ah, Brother Long Night's words, he was arranged to do something else. After all, the adult knows he can't handle you well...... I could have indulged you forever, but I'm sorry, we can't let you kill the thousandth girl, that would be a problem...... But are you really sure you're not counting wrong? ”

"I remember every face I killed, every person."

"That's right. That's good, I can't count it all over again, only he knows. Yingyuejun spread her hands helplessly, "You know that too, right?" You have been able to live until now, and it is the last impermanence that is releasing water. ”

"You don't need to say it."

"You're really proud of your mistakes!"

"That's a bad sound."

"Hahahaha, just kidding. So can I trouble you to stop it? That way my job will be much easier. ”

The smiling wolf didn't speak. He leaned down again and pulled a sharp dagger from the woman's face. The blood was almost gone, and the action was useless with even more unsightly consequences.

"Oh, are you still going to fight me? It's not like I'm out of the question. Although it is true that I am not as strong as Brother Long Night, it doesn't seem very difficult to deal with you. ”

When he said this, Ying Yuejun's expression was always as relaxed as his mood. Indeed, his outstanding Yin-Yang Technique and unparalleled talent during his lifetime made him possess extraordinary spiritual power at present, or rather...... Demonic powers. What's more, with the demon rope in his body, the advantage of using this immortal body to deal with the mortal body is obvious.

"Hmph......" the smiling wolf sneered. I'm also thanks to your senior. What if he lets me go a hundred times or a thousand times? ”

"But isn't there a saying that 'people are precious and self-aware'? You can clearly realize that you are not strong enough, at least not enough to fight against the six realms of impermanence, and I don't think you are cowardly. ”

"You too. It's just a pity that he died at a young age. ”

"Wow, thank you for speaking for me, a little happy. You didn't look down on me like everyone else because I was a child—that's fine, keep it up. Yingyue-kun looked even happier, "I don't want to die so early. But it can't be helped, since it's already like this...... At least I'm going to help Brother Long Night fulfill his little wish. Would you like to hear it? ”

"I'm not interested. But what an accident, as the deceased, will you have any pursuits? ”

"Of course!" Yingyuejun's eyes widened, and the two moons in the darkness were particularly eye-catching, "Some people want to get rid of endless work, some people want to fulfill their wishes before death, and some people are bent on death...... Isn't it true that people live in the world to envy each other and disgust each other? ”

"That's what happened. You look small, but you're alive and well. ”

"I'll be embarrassed if you compliment me like that—but even if you say so, I can't let you go. An order is an order, and I don't want to. Although the Lord knew that the Immortal Moon Lord would not do things well...... Don't you see that I don't want to? Don't want to do it...... Anything. ”

After all, it is a child, and it is easy to write emotions on your face and express your thoughts on actions. Yingyuejun clenched her small fists, her eyes full of undisguised hatred.

Hatred of all things in the world.

"I know you're not going to let me go. However, the number of people who could attract the attention of the Yama Demon was actually a thousand. ”

"No, no, no, you're wrong, it actually varies from person to person. But I don't know exactly, but what adults say is what it is...... However, in fact, the less people are killed, the more noticeable the situation is the most dangerous. ”

"I should thank you for raising your noble hands."

The woman's body gradually stiffened. The smiling wolf wiped the knife off her clothes and put it away. It's a bit crooked, it's slightly tortuous in itself, and it's been kept new.

He passed by Yingyuejun.

"You're welcome! I'm happy today, so I'll let you go. ”

"I thank you for being willing to talk to me so much. It's been a long time since anyone has talked to me properly. ”

"Because dead people can't speak!"

The smiling wolf didn't look back, his figure dissolving into the wider darkness on the other side.

He placed his hand on his mask, as if to take it off—but he only moved his fingers slightly. The blood stains on the fingertips that had already coagulated, leaving a few faint red powders on the white part of the mask.

Under the mask is the "price" given by someone, and also the price as an "exchange".

——It is the second "hand training".

All the beauty of the world is something worth taking away.

If you don't, beauty loses its value in existence.

Beauty needs ugliness to set it off.

Ugliness is inevitable.

It must also exist.

The retribution of good and evil follows like a shadow, and the cycle of cause and effect in three lifetimes is not lost.

But he fears retribution.

It's just that to this day, he still doesn't know what he was at the moment when Immortal Moon Jun came to the door...... Have you received an order to arrest him? Yama has an insight into the past and the present, and he doesn't know when he really noticed himself.

For that impermanence, although he was also the object of amusement, he dared to make him peel off a layer of skin without changing his face.

Although long after that, on the day when Hong Xuan turned his face and didn't recognize people in the long night, he had already taken the price back from himself with the karmic fire of punishment. "Burning the Crime of Karma" made his handsome face cracked and shattered, blooming into today's ravines and holes. And the hundreds of beautiful faces he collected were also burned by the angry people.

— but does not include "her" face.
