Chapter 2 (14) Hunting

"To thank you all for your support, we have prepared a special program today......"

The host's voice echoed in the venue, the door of the venue suddenly closed, and many guests who were about to leave like us honestly returned to their seats, looking forward to this so-called special program.

The four big men dragged a cage covered with red cloth to the stage, unlike when the previous auction monster was auctioned, dragging this cage consumed more manpower, but the size of the cage did not change much, it should be the reason for the different materials of the cage.

The host walked to the front of the cage with Guan Zi, he smiled at us, and then skilfully lifted the red cloth. The moment the red cloth fell, the venue erupted in cheers. I looked closely at the contents of the cage - it was a monster with a minotaur, it was a demon.

The caged demon seemed to be enraged by the audience's shouts, and it slammed into the cage, only to bounce back due to the force. Able to withstand the attacks of evil spirits, this cage must be specially made. The demon is actually kept in a smaller cage within this cage, which means that the demon is kept in two cages just to be safe.

The people around me except for Roddy are almost in a madness, is this a vengeful ecstasy that arises from the disgust of demon cannibalism? Or is it because I have been living in a comfortable nest in the city, but I can see a monster that is feared by everyone, so I can't help but be excited? I couldn't tell for a while. People are so complicated, why people are happy and worried, why they are crazy and why they are obsessed, the boundaries are blurred, and the reasons are difficult to distinguish between true and false.

I couldn't sit still, worried about Zhen'er's affairs, and Luo Di comforted me on the side, saying that he was well-connected and would definitely be able to find it, and I was a little less anxious in my heart.

But sometimes the more you are afraid of something, the more it will happen. It would rain on the weekend of the outing, and on the day of the heavy rain, I happened to have no umbrella, I missed the last train, I lost my ticket to the concert, and my crush had already felt like I belonged to him, and I dreamed of bowing to the cruel reality......

I sat in my seat, praying that the auction would be over and that the door would open and we would be able to leave.

The host ordered another cage covered with a red cloth to be dragged up, and he walked up to the other cage and skillfully ripped off the red cloth on this side, which was completely unexpected.

Thin body, delicate face, with a faint peach blossom between the eyebrows...... That's Zhen'er. It's the well-behaved and timid little fox demon. The host picked up the fork again and stabbed at her.

"Zhenβ€”"

Roddy immediately covered my mouth, he grabbed my wrist tightly, "Don't be obtrusive, if it's an auction, I'll just buy it......"

Zhen'er on the stage showed her pointed ears and couldn't hide her tail. She lowered her head, she must have been afraid in her heart, she was usually so timid...... The wound was still bleeding, and the hands were still tied.

The people around me are still cheering, everyone is so indifferent, indifferent and ridiculous.

The host did not quote like the first three links, but opened Zhen'er's cage and roughly pulled Zhen'er out of the cage. Later, he said: "Today's special program is about to start. With that, he opened the first door of the demon's cage and pushed her into the cage, causing her to stumble and fall into the cage. The host locked the outer door again, and there was only a railing between Zhen'er and the demon. Zhen'er was afraid of leaning against the outer railing, and if she opened the door inside, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Roddy ......"

Roddy shook his head, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

"It's too late......"

Is there no way? Did Zhen'er become a victim of this absurd performance?

Eventually, they opened the door inside, and there was nothing left to protect her...... The demon slowly came out and pounced on Zhen'er, who curled up in a corner, shivering. Have you ever seen a cheetah hunting and a hungry wolf pounce on food? It was that kind of scene, the evil ghost bit off Zhen'er's neck in an instant, Zhen'er's innocent eyes lost their minds, became hollow, and the bloody little face of the fiasco faded, and she had no chance to struggle. Then the demon tore open her belly, and the thick smell of blood hit her nose......

The atmosphere in the arena was at its extreme, and no matter how much I cried, no one would hear me, except for Roddy. He approached me, covered my eyes with his hands, and I heard his gossamer voice: "I'm sorry." ”

The people around us enjoy this wild primitive hunting, even though it took us tens of thousands of years to evolve into humans, we are still beasts at heart......

The one who proudly introduced her name, the one who would accompany me when I was sad, the one who shyly said she wanted to get married, the one who had been looking for her wish for hundreds of years...... I'll never see you again. I can no longer hear her sweet voice, I can no longer eat her peach blossom cake, I can no longer see her jumping in the train like a rabbit, the ornaments on her body clashing and clanking......

In an instant, my eyes were hazy with tears, and I thought that I had already closed my heart and that there was nothing left to grieve me anymore. But it turns out that no matter what time it is, death is such a helpless thing. It hit the body mercilessly like a sudden storm, sparing no effort to invade the barrier in the heart, and after the rain and the sky cleared, the body was incomplete and bruised.

The auction is over, and the guests are leaving. Only traces of the hunt remained on the stage, and the smell of blood in the air did not dissipate for a long time. I looked at the stage, imagining Zhen'er's final mood, I must have been desperate. And I was only a few dozen meters away from her, but I couldn't save her...... I'm so incompetent, like a joke......

"Let's go." Roddy said softly.

Seeing that I didn't move, he walked up to me, grabbed my wrist, and led me out of the venue.

On the way out of the black market, I lost my temper uncontrollably at Roddy, and after calming down, I said sorry to him.

I decided, I would never give in to this world again.

Luo Di said that he suddenly remembered that he still had to ask Sister Su for some information, and asked me to go back first, he said, "You little Mengxin just take the tram back, be comfortable." ”

I red-eyed and nodded, and Roddy was still smiling at me, even though I had just lost my temper with him. When I was at Sister Su's, he would stand in front of me, and when I was at the venue, he would cover my eyes. Perhaps, Roddy is a gentle person at heart...... He would smile at me, and I wouldn't have any reason to cry anymore.

After seeing Chao Ge get on the tram, Roddy tightened the smile on the corner of his mouth, he put his hands in his pockets, whistled, and walked slowly into a dead end where no one was.

The night was quiet, and I could hear the breath of the wind.

Behind him came the sound of a pistol bolting.

Roddy had been waiting for this moment all morning, and he spoke unhurriedly, but he didn't look back.

"Ann, is that you?"

The woman with the gun was expressionless and unwilling to say a word. This is a girl with short ear-length hair, and her naturally curly hair is well groomed. The girl is not tall, has a well-proportioned figure, wears a black dress, and also wears a mask on her face.

"It's so quiet...... It's Ella. Roddy turned, gun-pointed, and raised a smile. I thought you wouldn't assassinate as a medic. ”

"There's no way, my sister doesn't want to work today." The woman named Ella replied, as if she was complaining, but she didn't see any emotion, as if there were no emotions and six desires in her.

"Ella," Roddy flicked his gun at him, "put this dangerous thing away." Sister Su should only let you spy on me, right? ”

Ella nodded and put down her gun.

"That girl, who is it?"

"Which one?" Roddy deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"The girl who went to the auction with you tonight." There was no expression on Ella's face, she was not born cold, but she was obedient and didn't like to talk.

"It's just a subordinate."

Ella tilted her head, as if talking to herself, as if to say to someone, "Ann, Roddy said he was just a subordinate." Then Ella got a response, looked at Roddy again, and continued, "Ann said she didn't believe you. ”

Roddy sneered and replied in a mocking tone: "Ann is really not cute at all, obviously they are all in the same body, and Ella is much cuter." ”

"Ann, Roddy said you weren't cute." Ella relayed mechanically.

"Hey, I don't have to say anything to Ann." Roddy looked helpless. If Sister Su is the person he can't handle the most, then this girl named Ella is close behind.

"It's too much!" Roddy pretended to be hurt. "Sister Su doesn't trust me anymore."

"Ever since you went to the Authority, Sister Su doesn't trust you anymore."

"What about you?" Roddy gave a mocking smile. "Does Sister Su trust you?"

"I have no reason to betray Sister Su...... Neither did Ann. Ella gave Roddy a blank look.

"Really? If Sister Su asked you to do something to a lovely young lady in the army, would you do it? ”

The clouds obscured the moon, and the alleys became more and more silent.

"I'm ......," Ella wavered, "I'll do it." ”

"Really?" Roddy was skeptical, "Then let's hope that day never comes." ”

"Luo Di, you can't deceive Sister Su, as long as there are humans with desires, you can't deceive her."

"I know, thanks for the reminder." Luo Di hesitated for a moment and continued to ask: "Did Sister Su participate in the incident at tonight's auction?" ”

Ella shook her head, "No. Sister Su didn't know about the little fox demon in advance, and she was more concerned about the girl next to you tonight......"

Roddy sighed, "Or did she find out...... I thought I was well disguised......" he smiled wryly.

"Your acting skills are really good, I can't even tell which one is the real you. But Roddy, isn't that tiring? ”

"Hmm." Roddy closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth couldn't suppress a smile, as long as he thought of that person, the world would become gentle.

The wind blew away the clouds, the jade wheel was as big as a disk, and the moon shone in his eyes.

"Ella, sometimes, the more you care about someone, the less you can let others find out that you care about her......"
