Twilight.

The sun became incomparably softer, and the golden light had a hazy feeling.

The sand with the gentle lapping of the sea.

The drunken boy found a relatively large stone, sat on it, curled up his legs, and put one hand on his hunched knee at will.

It's a very comfortable position.

The wine gourd of the wine swallowing boy was quietly placed beside him, and at some point in his hand, a white porcelain bowl appeared, which was some red liquid, exuding a faint wine fragrance, very tempting and very intoxicating.

"What kind of wine is this? It smells so good. ”

The woman walked towards the drunken boy and asked him.

"Drink?"

The wine-swallowing boy handed the bowl containing the wine to the woman, and the wine-swallowing boy had an evil smile on his face.

The sun in the sky gradually moved westward and gradually set.

The light stretched their shadows longer and longer.

The woman swallowed the wine handed over by the boy, took it, and took a sip gently: "Wow, it's so delicious......"

The woman said with some surprise.

Obviously, this wine gives a woman a good feeling. It's hard to say what that feels like.

"This wine tastes better than the wine brought by wealthy merchants from the other side of the sea......

The woman continued.

Then he drank all the wine in the bowl, his face flushed, just like the red wine in the bowl before, and in the air, the aroma of wine turned into an ambiguous breath under the hazy sunset.

"We ...... Come play. ”

The woman felt that her body was already a little hot, and now she was in a state of infatuation.

Craving.

Longing to be the man in front of you, touching, longing to be the man in front of you, deeply loved!

The drunken boy didn't answer, nor did he look at the woman, but just drank his wine quietly, and the evil smile on his face was always there.

"I'm so dizzy......"

The woman's steps were already a little confused, with flushed faces, stray hair, and affectionate eyes.

"This wine...... Humans can't drink it. ”

The wine swallowing boy looked at the gradually falling sunset and said lightly.

The sun sank into the sea, and the red-stained waters turned dark at sunset and before the moon rose.

The sound of waves crashing on the sand and rocks is in your ears.

One time...... One time......

"What the hell are you...... What is it? ”

The woman had already felt something strange, and her originally confused heart fell into the ice cellar in an instant, and it was cold, cold.

"My name is the Wine Swallowing Boy!"

For the first time, the wine swallowing boy really glanced at the woman, but it was only a glance, and in the dark light, he probably couldn't see clearly.

The white porcelain bowl in his hand exudes a faint glow.

The drunken boy was evil, and his handsome face was illuminated and revealed in the woman's sight.

The legendary Wine Swallow Boy is a very beautiful monk, but for some reason he has become a monster.

Beauty.

This is a characteristic that distinguishes the Drunken Boy from other youkai.

The woman bowed up, and the expression on her face began to distort, giving people a very painful feeling.

"Original...... You're a drunken boy......"

A mouthful of blood spat out of the woman's mouth, and her body seemed to have no strength anymore, and she fell to the stone.

"Hmm."

The wine swallowing boy looked at the woman lying on the stone and said lightly.

……

The moon gradually rose.

The sea water became sparkling under the moonlight, and the woman lying on the stone did not move, and the pool of bright red blood under her body spread quietly.

The wine swallowing boy looked at the woman, the clothes on her body had been stained red with blood, and her hair was messy and sticky to her face, the most important thing was that the woman's age seemed to be a little older.

Having no interest in the older woman, and not playing with her mind, the Boy threw the bowl into the sea, and then left the stone and headed for the small town of Scarborough, leaving only the dead woman.

The moonlight shines quietly.

The sea water is still hitting the stones at the same rhythm as before.

Occasionally, when a relatively large wave hits a stone, it will make a high splash and fall on the woman's body.

Little by little, time passed.

The drunken boy had completely left the beach and disappeared without a trace.

In the sea, a small shell moves slowly along the sand at the bottom of the sea, and although it moves slowly, it also moves a long distance because it has been moving in one direction for a long time.

Behind the shell, there was also a crooked trace.

The shell crawled towards the rock, and it climbed until late at night, when it finally reached the bottom of the big rock.

The bottom of the large rock is buried deep in the seabed.

The shell stopped at the bottom of the big rock, and a small pale blue fish swam out of the open gap in the shell.

"Mussel Spirit, I'll go up and have a look."

The little blue fish made a human voice, the voice of a little girl of fifteen or sixteen, very pure.

"No way!"

Shell said.

At the bottom of the sea, the shell transforms into a boy in a short coat, with short hair, neat and neat clothes, and some shabby clothes on his body.

"Jiaotu, you wait here, I'll go up!"

The shell-turned boy, the clam spirit, swam towards the surface of the sea and climbed onto the rock.

The moon outside was round and the sea breeze was cool.

The light of the moon was enough for the boy to see everything not far from him—the woman, now lying quietly on the stone!

Under the woman's body, there was a pool of bright red blood, and at this moment, the fishy smell of blood mixed with the smell of sea water, which made people feel impulsive.

"Why was he killed? It's been a long time since there has been a murder in this place. ”

Mussel Spirit's heart was full of doubts.

When the drunken boy killed the woman before, the mussel spirit and the mussel essence were not here, the reason why they came here was because the sea water spread the woman's blood in the sea, and the pepper and the mussel spirit came along this bloody smell.

They are youkai that live in this sea.

The mussel spirit walked to the woman's side and gently shook the woman's body, which had become cold, had no pulse and no breathing.

"Really dead ......"

The mussel spirit looked around, the view of the sea was very open, and the moon was very bright, but the mussel spirit did not notice anyone beside it.

Now that the woman is dead, the mussel has no choice but to go back.

The mussel spirit jumped into the seawater, and the moment it touched the seawater, it turned into a shell and sank quickly along the seawater.

Until it landed in front of the little blue fish.

"Jiaotu, the woman on it is dead, but there is no one around, so I can't be sure if someone else killed her or if she committed suicide herself."

The clam spirit looked at the little blue fish and said to her.

"Well, Mussel Spirit, why don't we investigate this."

The little blue fish spun lightly in a circle in the water, and the speed was extremely fast, turning into a girl wearing a blue kimono.

With a faint melancholy expression on his face.

"Jiaotu, it was not easy for us to transform into the appearance of humans, and now the spiritual power is not strong enough, so let's cultivate with peace of mind, and don't worry about human affairs for now."

Beng Jing looked at Jiaotu and said to her.

Ordinary creatures, if they want to become monsters, there is some difficulty, if it is not for a very special reason, it will take a long time to rely on cultivation alone.

The clam essence is to rely on cultivation to become a monster, and it can even transform into a human form.

As for the pepper chart.

She's because ...... I sucked the aura of the mussel spirit.,So I was able to become a monster.。

The way to become a demon is relatively simple, so there are some worries that I don't understand the clam spirit: "Beng Jing, if you are afraid, then I will go alone." ”

"No way!"

Beng Jing looked at Jiaotu and said loudly.

"So...... You promised to go with me? ”

A pure smile appeared on Jiaotu's face, under the moonlight, in the clear seawater, Jiaotu's smile, beautiful people would be willing to do anything for her.

Mussel nodded and agreed!

Mussel Jing has always said that he can't win the pepper map, so he doesn't plan to continue to distinguish it from the pepper map, because if he talks like this, he will always be surrounded by the pepper map.

Even if it's a fluke to say win.

Jiaotu decided to investigate the woman's death, and nothing would change.

Beng Jing really knows too much about Jiaotu's character.

……

"Jiaotu, if you go to the human world, you can't call me by your original name."

Beng Jing looked at Jiaotu and said to her.

"Why?"

Jiaotu asked suspiciously.

"Because in the human world, there is no such name, and the name of the clam spirit belongs to the monster. If you call me that, you're likely to get in a lot of trouble. In the human world, there are people who specialize in demon slashing. ”

Beng Jing looked at the pepper map and patiently explained.

Jiaotu slowly swam from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the sea, revealing a head, greedily breathing in the fresh air outside.

The smell of blood still lingered in the air.

"Why are they trying to get rid of demons?"

Jiaotu looked at the mussel essence and asked suspiciously.

"Because, youkai and humans are not the same thing, and people don't like to share the same thing with different 'people'."

Mussel replied.

There is only one world, full of sunshine, sweet air, and colorful red weeds.

There are also a variety of animals.

It is undoubtedly wonderful, full of unknowns, and desirable.

Such a thing.

How can human beings be willing to share what others have? What's more, this kind of thing will also kill human beings and destroy the peaceful life of human beings.

"Humans are so stingy, if I had a candy, I would definitely give you half of it, and if you had it, it would be given to me, you said, right? Mussel essence. ”

Jiao Tu looked at the mussel essence and said with some indignation.

The candy pepper was eaten, and it was a gift that the mussel spirit brought to the pepper when he first went to the human world.

Very sweet.

You will feel better when you eat.

"yes."

Mussel replied.

In fact, at that time, the candy brought by Jiaotu was eaten by Jiaotu alone......

However, the mussel essence didn't care, because, seeing Jiaotu's happy appearance, the mussel essence would also feel very happy.

So......

It doesn't matter.

Mussel turned into a boy and swam to Jiaotu's side, and the two kept a distance from each other.

The smell of blood in the sea breeze has always been there.

"Mussel Spirit, take me to the woman's body, I'm going to see it."

Jiaotu looked at the boy next to him and said to him.

"Okay, if Jiaotu goes to the human world in the future, you can change my name."

Mussel Jing said.

"Well, how do humans generally call their friends?"

Pepper asked.

The mussel spirit swam towards the stone where the woman's body was found before, and Jiaotu slowly followed behind the mussel spirit, and when the two of them swam, there was no trace of exhaustion.

"It's common to add a 'small' word to the front of the name, or to repeat a word in the name."

Mussel replied.

"Little Mussel Essence...... Small mussel ...... Which do you prefer? ”

Jiaotu looked at the mussel spirit and asked him.

"Little mussel."

Mussel replied.

"Okay."

……

The two of them climbed the rock together.

The woman was lying on the ground, and the woman's face on the moon looked a little pale, in stark contrast to the blood on the ground.

"This woman is beautiful."

Jiaotu looked at the woman and sighed sincerely.

"Hmm."

Mussel replied.

Jiaotu walked up to the woman, and then searched the woman's body, and there was nothing on the woman's body.

Only a very ordinary bracelet is worn around his wrist.

Jiaotu took the bracelet off, wrapped it in a piece of cloth, and put it in his pocket so that someone would recognize it later.

The pepper chart can also confirm the identity of the woman.

"Little mussel, do you smell anything......?"

Pepper Tu sniffed in the air and asked the boy next to him.

"Well, it has a very fragrant taste, like wine."

Mussel replied.

"Wine ......"

Jiaotu approached the woman's mouth and sniffed it carefully, it was indeed an intoxicating taste.

The woman drank alcohol before she died.

This is the only thing that can be determined by the pepper diagram now, and it can be regarded as a subtle clue.

There is really nothing else worth looking for in a woman, except for clothes, only a body with some beauty.

"Little Beng, let's go."

Jiaotu looked at the mussel essence and said slowly.

"Well, though...... Where do we go? ”

Mussel Jing asked.

"Go to a place where there is wine, a woman drank wine before she died......"

Pepper replied.

"Okay."

……

The small town of Scarborough.

There was only one tavern, a dilapidated house that was quite spacious, and a shed had been erected outside the tavern.

The whole tavern has become larger.

But, despite this, the tavern was crowded during the time when trading began at the Scarborough Market.

After all, during this time, there will be a lot of people coming to this town.

Now is the time for the Scarborough Market to begin trading, which will last for about forty-five days, and then the town of Scarborough will be desolate again.

"Jiaotu, there are a lot of people in the tavern now, do we really want to go in?"

Mussel Jing asked with some concern.

"Well, let's go."

Pepper replied.

I got off work at half past nine today, came back to take a shower, and started coding at ten o'clock, a little in a hurry.
