"Why, are you trying to persuade me to be good now?"

Xiaobai's words were very polite, which made them feel a little uncomfortable. After she said this, she bared her teeth slightly, not a threat, but a faint pain in the wound on the back of her waist. Although it should have been patched up there.

Shanhai felt that if the person who "didn't land" was present, the conversation would be smoother. But they didn't sleep in the middle of the night and sneaked into the dog farm to make trouble, and it wasn't just for her.

"Although I really want to explain it to you and apologize again seriously. I shouldn't have made a promise at that time, I took it for granted, it was my fault. But please be assured that since you have made your choice, we are ...... Won't interfere anymore. ”

After Shanhai said that, Dai Luan whispered: "I don't even know her anymore...... She's very different from what she used to be. ”

"What was she supposed to be? Who has the final say? Ka Gongduo spread out his hands, smiling as always.

Mu Wan looked at Tan Ge on the side. She and Zhang Longbow stood together, forming a subtle triangle with the positions of Hunt Gongduo and the White Girl. Mu Wan said to Tan Ge:

"We're here this time, let's help the fox demon two days ago. I disturbed you last time, and I was so offended. But I want you to understand that we're not bad guys with malicious intentions. I heard that you have a wish, I wonder if you can say it, if we can help you the best. ”

"What does it have to do with you?" Tan Ge didn't appreciate it.

Zhang Longbow sighed heavily.

"Don't be surprised, girl. This kid has been waiting for someone ......"

Mu Wan had a number in his heart. This must be talking about the enemy who killed her parents back then. In Liang Yuejun's story, the little girl they envisioned was weak, but twenty years later, when she actually stood in front of them, the anger on her body made them feel uncomfortable...... It's not uncomfortable, it's just unexpected. It's okay like this, and if you live with youkai, you should protect yourself like this.

After all, so many years have passed.

Even so, Mu Wan still wanted to try to reason with her. Because there is a familiar feeling in her, it feels like ...... Her senior brother, the man named Wu Yuangui.

The man who grew up bathed in hatred.

Although she suffered the same misfortunes as him, she had enough kind people to raise them. But Tan Ge was lucky enough that she met such a gentle person - or a monster. And what walked into Wu Yuangui's life was a down-and-out, a real monster. The dog demon raised her because of the instinct of repaying her gratitude and mother's love, and the snake demon was driven by profit and trouble, and shaped him into what he is now...... Such an annoying look.

However, they are also very different.

At least those who adopted her were not her enemies.

"We've all heard about you...... You won't have nowhere to go, you can follow that fox demon, who is occasionally a little annoying, but he ...... Very good. ”

Mu Wan persuaded a little weakly, and he didn't have any position.

Still squinting and smiling, he held his jaw and thought about it after hearing their conversation. He took a slight step towards Tan Ge, which made Zhang Changgong feel very uncomfortable. He wanted to speak and stopped, wanting to stretch out his hand to pull Tan Ge, but he retracted it.

"If you're here for...... Looking for a murderer, huh? The one who killed your adoptive mother? ”

It was a strange tone that made everyone feel uneasy.

"What do you want to say......?" Tan Ge stared at him and took a slight step back.

"Nothing. I know about you...... We know everything. If you could get the answer to this question, would you leave here? At that time, will you still fight for the indifferent interests of these guys who work together? ”

Tan Ge raised his head and glanced at the workers. They are her subordinates, and they are also her friends who accompany her day and night. Almost everyone has a family and at least one child. Some people's mothers die early, and they don't dare to bring their children to this kind of place, so they run back and forth from here to home all day long. None of them dared to tell their neighbors where they worked. While it sounds decent to make a living in such a lucrative place, it's actually not a lot of money, and it's not pleasant to deal with youkai every day and get an animal-like stench. There are also people who rarely go back, for fear of embarrassing their wives and children.

The dog farm is the execution ground of many monsters, but it is their home.

"I don't know." She said it truthfully.

"What about you?" Hunter looked at Longbow, "Would you like her to know?" ”

Tan Ge suddenly turned her head and looked at her adoptive father.

“…… You know? In fact, you always knew, who killed her? ”

Zhang Changgong frowned slightly, connecting with the wrinkles on his face. His weather-beaten face looked a little old, but now it was more vicissitudes than ever.

"yes, I know."

"Then why didn't you tell me?!" Tan Ge said loudly, "You still trick me into staying here to work? Such a shortage of manpower? Since you know who it is, you still want me to maintain order and maintain ...... Maintain order in the backfield! Disobedient monsters will be trained and beaten, do you think I'm willing? It's not that the daughter of any son is willing to whip someone down! ”

Zhang Longbow opened his mouth slightly, and his eyes were a little trance-like. He didn't know what to say, or maybe he didn't think it was useful to say anything.

Shanhai has a bad premonition. He glanced up at the ceiling, where the broken holes had only been partially filled. Some of the sparse starlight leaked in, blending into the warm light of the torches, and could not be sifted out.

"So, did you tell her, or did I say?"

The tone of Hunt Gongduo's tone was almost like giving away the power of what choice. And they all know that this result is bound to make people ignore the selection process. A bad feeling comes to mind, like an animal's instinctive perception of danger. Shanhai glanced at the white girl, her face was calm, and she seemed to be indifferent to all this, and she seemed to be interested. It was a paradoxical feeling he had never seen in that youthful face before.

"Me." He said, "I killed her, I killed them." ”

“……”

Tan Ge looked at him in disbelief. After a moment, she let out a strange laugh that changed her tone.

"Are you kidding?"

"I was young, and I was traveling with a bow on my back, you know...... You all know that. Zhang Changgong pointed to the stands, "I used to be an onmyoji, a witcher. As long as it is a target, the arrow will leave the hand, and every shot will be missed. One year, I passed by a village not far from Tanghuan County. ”

Tan Ge knew that it was not his hometown. In order for herself to grow up safely, her adoptive mother took herself away from that sad place. What's more, everyone in the village suspects that her biological parents and other family members were killed by the dog demon, and she herself should be free from suspicion. So the adoptive mother took some other little monsters, which she also took care of, and began to live a wandering life.

As teenagers, they settled far enough away. It was a mountain near a village, and it was easy to get some daily necessities from there when people needed them. They lived together peacefully, as plain as the past ten years. She heard some oral stories from human beings, and learned that the rich man who wanted to seize her land had died. Before that, the adoptive mother had come back with the smell of stinking blood, as had the other partners. Although they washed themselves in the mountain spring, she noticed something strange when she was influenced by demonic energy all year round, so she asked. The adoptive mother they just said that the hunt went.

They had disappeared for days, and she almost thought they were dead outside. She didn't think much about anything, she didn't care about anything, she just hugged them tightly.

"The village is inaccessible and has not been able to develop. Later, I don't know who learned the rules of Tanghuan County: dog farms buy monsters at a high price. They wanted to make money, so they told me about it as they passed by. I'm in charge of bringing them back, and they're in charge of transporting them and paying for my price. I did so—everywhere I shot, it wasn't lethal, but it was enough to immobilize them. I made a mistake while attacking a canine demon who is more sensitive than any youkai. It was too far away, and she instinctively ran away, but she turned a corner and rushed closer to me. So the arrow that was supposed to hit her front leg pierced her chest. ”

"Ah, yes." "I remember." He didn't die at the time, but he died on the third day after the villagers arrived. Originally, the wound was infected, and she had a high fever, and she might not be able to last a day. I don't know how it lasted so long. She wailed three times in the direction of the village and closed her eyes. ”

"What...... You ......" Tan Twilight was a little incoherent, "I ......"

"Yes." Zhang Changgong looked at her, his eyes almost sad, "I think it's strange...... I followed the direction she was running and noticed a cave under where I was standing. I walked in and you're inside. ”

"You thought I was kidnapped, and you want to save me. I'll try to explain to you......"

"I didn't know that youkai actually had human children, I thought you were in danger. It took three days for you to let down your guard against me, and for me to understand what you said. I came to you every day, and you slowly trusted me. ”

"On the last day, you said you heard in the village that she was badly injured...... You said that she was taken to Tanghuan County by the villagers, and you said that you took me to find her......"

"Hmm." Zhang Changgong sighed again, "I didn't lie to you, but I admit that I hid a lot. It was only on the third day that I was convinced that I should be held responsible, and I ......"

Twilight kept shaking her head, as if refusing to accept this reality.

"Y-What responsibility do you bear?!"

"I don't know." He honestly said, "At least you can't wait to die in the mountains." ”

"What the fuck are you...... For the past ten years, I have been my second father, and you ......."

This conversation made Mu Wan feel extremely uncomfortable.

They are the same...... It's the same as Wu Yuangui.

But what will she do?

Speaking of which, no matter the people on stage or in Taichung, they have not said a word.

It's so quiet, it's so quiet.

Xiaobai suddenly gasped, and his voice seemed a little abrupt. People who were hurriedly looking for a foothold of their sight set their eyes on her, including Shanhai and others.

She's not the same. Her forehead was covered with fine sweat, but it was a faint red. Wherever the sweat smeared, it left a light-colored mark. What's more, those strange lines are glowing, dancing, and twisting, like some kind of conscious lifeform, trying to stretch its branches and leaves, absorbing more necessary and unnecessary nutrients.

Her eyes turned blood-red.

"So...... He lied to you, didn't he? He lied to you...... Humans are liars, you should know ......"

Her tone was unnatural, with a hint of banter that shouldn't have belonged. The demonic aura is even more intense, almost breathless.

It's weird, that look...... It reminded them of a person who didn't want to remember.

The Long Night of Red Xuan.
