The monster didn't kill Li Yue, but also cut her rope, she ran away frantically, but saw a familiar person in the tunnel, a little girl who should have died. It was her playmate, a young lady who was two years older than her. She wanted to run away with her little sister, but found that the other party didn't seem to recognize her anymore, and was even frightened by her......

Li Yue escaped.

But that memory, she didn't tell anyone, she would often go to the ruined temple again, and she would also come to the mountain, the tunnel mouth covered by stones. Finally, one day, she met the young lady again, gave her the toys from the past, and they became friends again. Li Yue also gradually understood some things.

The young lady should have died.

But I don't know why, she came back to life. That bug-like monster is very much like the father of the young lady. The young lady who came back to life couldn't eat any food, so she could only live by eating human flesh. So, every once in a while, the monster would go out and kill a person for the young lady, shaving the flesh and making food for her.

……

“…… He should be Uncle Shentu. I don't know why, he didn't die after jumping off the cliff, and somehow, he resurrected the silent night. Li Yue, who was in fear, shifted his gaze to the corpse in another corner, and then looked at the broken bottles and cans all over the room, as well as the corpses of insects that had long since dried up, "It probably has something to do with these things, right?" I remember this smell, and I also smelled it in the tunnel of Uncle Shentu's house. ”

"So you brought them here to make food for her?" I asked.

"Right...... Uncle Shentu is getting weaker and weaker, he can't kill anymore, he's dead, Jingye is too hungry, I want to help her, I can't let her starve to death. So what Uncle Shentu wants to do, I'll just do it. But Jingye has only eaten meat and has not killed anyone......" Speaking of this, Li Yue glanced at the bandaging on Zuo Ziteng's body, "She may not know that those things are her own food." ”

I probably understood what Li Yue meant, although I don't know how much of her words were true and how much was false. But looking at those bottles and cans, they are indeed very similar to those witches in the country. As for the past experience of the man surnamed Shentu, I am afraid that it is impossible to know now.

It's a pity that I can't read those books, maybe Du Youlan can. Otherwise, I should have been able to know more information.

But other than that, I have a question.

"The body was no longer found ten years ago, but there is no way she did not need to eat for ten years. You said that Shentu has been killing people, what about the corpse, why did the previous corpse have to be sent to the corpse temple? ”

"Although Uncle Shentu has become a monster, he still has some human consciousness, he probably understands, and continues to send corpses to the corpse temple, as the investigation intensifies, he will be discovered sooner or later. So after that, the people who were killed hid in a room in the tunnel. As for why it is preferred to put the body in the temple...... Maybe he thinks that fear and sin should be there, right? Li Yue replied.

"So many people died without being noticed?"

Li Yue's frightened face suddenly squeezed out an inappropriate smile, looking a little weird, she asked me: "Have you heard the story that the people who walked out of Gujing Town don't like to come back here?" ”

I frowned, "You mean ......"

"Some people leave Gujing Town to go out to work, or go to live another life. Most of their relatives who remain here are elderly. If you are old and in poor health, if you die of illness, who cares if those who go out will come back? ”

Li Yue's last two paragraphs are very informative.

I asked her, "What have you done?" ”

"......" she didn't explain. There was fear in her eyes, but there was something else besides fear. It dawned on me that her plea for help was a physical response to the threat of death from me, but in her consciousness she seemed to be praying for something else. Otherwise, when narrating, it will not be so indifferent, and it will not be so clear. She just wanted to say it and let me hear it, or rather, she just wanted one more person to know, no matter who that person was.

She was depressed.

"Why the hell are you doing this?" This is a question I don't understand, just for friendship? I don't believe it, this reason is completely unreasonable.

"She's my friend......"

By no means such a stupid answer.

I stared into her eyes, and from Li Yue's eyes, I gradually saw what that kind of thing beyond fear was, guilt.

This brings me to another question, "Why did your parents disappear?" ”

She suddenly smiled, and the smile engulfed the fear, and it looked extremely evil, and then she shook her head, "I don't know." ”

……

The answer to that last question, she never answered me, and I don't think she would ever say it, to anyone.

I didn't kill her, I didn't kill the little monster.

Li Yue may be guilty, but I don't have the right to decide her life or death. Because of the crossbow arrow injury, Li Yue was taken away by the local police, and then, in this tunnel, the police found a room full of bones. How things will develop after that, and how to investigate the cause of death and identity of those white bones, has nothing to do with me.

I got out early, took the little monster, and came to another house of the second uncle in Gujing Town.

Zuo Ziteng and Ye Yan were only poisoned and unconscious, and there was no danger of getting sick, and after they woke up, they also came here.

The second uncle's house is not big, usually used to store some tea, and I have placed two beds here, one for me and the other for the little monster. When Sako arrived, she looked around the room and asked, "Brother, what about the quiet night?" ”

"You're concerned?"

"After all, she saved me, and without her, maybe I would have fallen to my death that day...... She didn't let you die, did she? Sakoteng looked at me nervously.

I went to the other bed in the room and patted the board, "How many times have I said, don't sleep under the bed for me in the future, come up above." ”

At this time, the girl slowly crawled out from under the bed, looking at me timidly, as well as Zuo Ziteng and Ye Yan in front of her.

She took a shower, changed into a normal girl's clothes, and my hair was trimmed by me.

Now she is no longer the little monster.

Her name is Shen Tu Jingye, a little girl who died tragically in the family ten years ago, and was resurrected by her father with witchcraft after her death, but she lost her memories of the past. The body still grows like a normal human, but it strongly resists food other than human flesh, and if you barely eat it, you will vomit uncontrollably. Fortunately, he has a strong ability to endure hunger, and can go without food for about a month at most, during which time he still has plenty of energy.

She's not supposed to be human, but I don't know exactly what she's called.

Fortunately, as long as you don't open your mouth, at present, she looks like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl.

"This ...... Who is this? Sakoteng was a little confused.

"Silent Night."

"Well, it's not like it, but it's not bad. Brother, where are you going to send the silent night next? I probably can't get in touch with my relatives, so I don't have to send them to some orphanages or something like that......"

I interrupted Zuo Ziteng's words, "Don't send anything, this girl will have to follow me in the future." ”
