Hearing this, I continued to ask, "Maybe there was a reason for his outburst, right?" ”

Looking at his eyes, I guessed that there must be something wrong here, and he nodded: "Yes, I later learned that it was these people who wanted to hurt me, and he did it to those people in a fit of anger, but he was a monster after all, and he couldn't speak at all, so it became like this, when I knew the truth, I was looking for him, but I couldn't find it, I searched all the places, and I found out that I didn't know what his name was until now, and I never named him." ”

It was like a regret for him, and I sighed: "Some things are only known to be cherished after they are lost, so did you see him later?" ”

I listened to these things and began to feel emotional, and when I recalled the picture at that time, I even saw the appearance of the monster, and I had some feelings in my heart.

He nodded: "For a long time I was immersed in sadness, I thought I had done something wrong, and I saw him again about five years later, and this time he became very weak and became skinny, and he came back to see me again." ”

It was as if I had read a story, and I was attracted to the characters in the story, and I anxiously asked, "Why did he come back to see you and tell you?" ”

He recalled the past: "Although this child is a monster, but the personality is the same as a child, probably because I misunderstood him at the time, he was more aggrieved, and he came back to me when he was angry, at that time his appearance has completely changed, it is no different from a monster, and the strength of the whole body is very great, I thought that meeting would hurt me, I was not afraid of his teeth and claws at that time, after all, I was very guilty of misunderstanding him this time, even if I took my life, I was willing." ”

After all, he is standing here unharmed, which means that nothing has happened to him, and I then replied: "He must not have done anything in the end, he did something that moved you, right, otherwise how could you not forget it until now, and tears are about to fall as you say it." ”

I also suddenly noticed that his tone became choked, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and he kept holding back his tears from flowing out, but in the end he still couldn't hold back, and after being said, he just smiled slightly bitterly and sighed: "Yes, how could I forget, if I could have trusted him a little more at that time, maybe it wouldn't be like this, if I had always insisted on what I thought, he wouldn't have ended up like this." ”

Apparently what happened to them to become like this, I didn't ask, but waited patiently for him to say it himself.

After a few minutes, he calmed down and began to tell me what had happened: "When he came back, he became very strange, he was very arrogant at that time, and seemed to really plan to kill me, but in the end he didn't make a move, but stayed by my side all the time, but he didn't make any moves, as if he just wanted to stay with me quietly, and then those villagers came again, and everyone hated him to the core, and of course they hated me to the core, thinking that people like me were not worthy of being a demon slayer at all, and they actually lived in peace with the monsters, These people's ideas are feudal, and if I don't accept it, then get rid of me. ”

It's hard to understand this idea, but after all, it was a long time ago, he is very old now, I was not born in that era, and these people all make a living by hunting demons, he is a traitor here, betraying their purpose, it is not surprising to have such a reaction.

"At that time, everyone's fingers were pointed at me, and those ugly words were also said, I originally thought that he couldn't understand human words at all, but when those people said all the ugly words, he was even angrier than me, gritting his teeth and looking at those villagers, but he always protected me behind him, as if to protect me, and finally there was a big war, he was a monster, his ability was indeed very strong, but no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't deal with so many demon hunters." He sighed.

I can understand his mood at that time, and I can imagine what the picture will be like at that time.

He continued: "At that time, I always wanted to stop it, but the monster set up an enchantment, I couldn't open it at all, I could only watch him get injured and finally fall to the ground, and there was hardly any breath before those villagers were willing to leave, because at that time he almost lost all his demonic power My enchantment was opened, and when I rushed out, he was already very weak, and I cried silently when I saw him covered in blood, and kept asking him why he did this, why he came back, and why he had to bear this for me, At that time, the target of their crusade was actually me, not this monster at all. ”

I was indeed a little shocked to hear this, because I am a human being, although I am now a half-demon, but I still have some prejudices in my heart, I think that it is impossible for youkai and ghosts to have human feelings, although I have encountered individual different situations, but most of the ghosts and monsters are murderous without blinking, like demons.

Now I just feel that my idea is a little unfair.

He looked at me and said: "Later, although he was very weak, he still talked to me, I thought he couldn't speak, but he only said three words at the time, which I will never forget for the rest of my life, and I don't understand why he said this to me, I am the one who is obviously wrong, and he died after saying these words, and these monsters will turn into a fast demon stone after they die, and I have not lost the stone until now." ”

I wondered what he was talking about.

He replied: "He only said three words to me at the time, "I'm sorry", and his purpose at the beginning was not this, he actually came here to take revenge, wanted to kill me, he has been living with hatred all these years, if I was willing to trust him at that time, he would not have been demonized, and he would not have become what he is now, at least he would not be so embarrassed, and he would not have become a ghost or a ghost, so he came back this time with the determination to kill me." ”

I was a little surprised that I didn't guess that this was the purpose of his return.

He continued: "At that time, his purpose was this, so when he saw me, he pounced directly, according to his strength at that time, he could easily kill me, without any effort, his nails were sharp, and I could die if I touched it lightly, but he didn't do it in the end, and he was still soft-hearted when he saw me, and I thought again, if he hadn't been soft-hearted at that time, he wouldn't have died, he may have imagined killing me countless times in his heart, but in the end, he couldn't resist the unbearable feeling when he saw me." ”

In fact, I can understand all this, probably because I have become a half-demon now, I can understand his mood, I thought about it before I spoke: "Maybe you are the most special existence for him, he appeared when he needed help the most, so he regarded you as the most important person in life, these monsters' minds can be very simple or very complex, he simply thinks that you are a good person, even if you don't trust him later, you are still a good person, and then he leaves with hatred, It's just that in his mind he imagines that he will kill you cruelly after seeing you, but after you appear, these scenes disappear, and all he wants to do is to stay by your side all the time, which is one thing he has wanted to do all these years, in fact, he is no different from a child, he just wants your care.

In fact, I think I understand it quite thoroughly, he nodded: "Yes, that's what he thought at the time, but I don't understand one thing, why he always refuses to communicate with me when he can speak, why he doesn't say a word when he sees me when he comes back, and why he apologizes to me when he dies, the person who apologizes should be me, I have been carrying these regrets for so long, and every day is a torment for me." ”

Looking at his appearance, I really couldn't see that he had so many troubles, I asked tentatively: "Can you show me that demon stone, you are a human being, but I am now a half-demon, maybe I can get some information from it, if you trust me, I know that this demon stone is very important to you, and I will not force it if you care about it." ”

He nodded and went to the room to bring the demon stone, this box is very exquisite, the workmanship is also very good, there seem to be two big characters engraved on it, I don't understand what this means, so I stared at these two big characters for a while, he explained to me: "These two big characters are his name, I have never named him, and then I thought about it is indeed a pity, so I engraved it on this, it is his name." ”

I smiled and opened the box and looked at the demon stone inside, when I first opened it, I seemed to hear the voice of the monster, those words have been echoing in my mind, I felt his mood at the time, and a few tears fell out of my eyes unconsciously, I wiped my tears, Ma Ming looked at me with some surprise: "What's the matter?" ”

I shook my head: "It's nothing, it's just that just now I can suddenly understand the voice of the monster, that's why I have such a reaction, this monster has a lot of things to say to you, I'll tell you all these words now, you won't have so much guilt after you know, and he hopes that you are not like this." ”

After listening to my words, he was surprised, but his eyes were a little cautious, as if he wanted to know but did not dare to know, and after a pause, he said to me, "You say, I'll listen." ”
