Chapter 1: Kevin

When it comes to winter, even if the snow brings cold to the bone, people will always praise a few words to cover up the dirt and symbolize nobility. The heavens and the earth are vast, and nothing is seen as if nothing is born. There were few passers-by on the street, the snow was down to his ankles, and the tall man hissed and screamed, and finally couldn't help but raise his left foot and stop. The glue of the boots and shoes fell off, the snow as soft as sand and salt poured in, and the toes were almost as hard as stones, and the iron man, who boasted of having a sense of steel, couldn't help but weaken: will he freeze to death or starve to death? Qi Qiran hit the ground on his heels, like a lame man and continued to hurry. When he rested against the street lamp, a shadow that kept shaking around the opposite corner swooped into his field of vision like a moth, and he wiped his face to see that it was a little ghost. is really a "brave man" who does not want to die, with short clothes and shorts, thin arms and thin legs naked, waving his arms, and his expression is ...... The skeleton suddenly realized that he was singing, and his graceful body movements resembled those of a nobleman in the face of a musical performer. There are no painful performances, and the focus is sometimes ethereal. The unknown magic in it made the skeleton frightened, blurred reality, and could not take his eyes off. He may have been a little fascinated, for this fascinated singer, to forget the suffering of the world. If you look at it any further, you're really going to freeze to death in a foreign land. Chopping his feet, the skeleton strode towards the teenager. When the young man heard the movement, he looked stunned, and saw the burly and strong man menacing, and he didn't know if he was frightened, so he froze in place and didn't move.

This child must have had a dream, but now it is broken.

The skull crouches, takes off the hat, and puts it in the purse.

He didn't say a word, and the boy didn't thank him. The skull looks chic and doesn't look back. When he arrived at the door of the tavern, he was already penniless, took out a crumpled cigarette, smoothed it with his fingers, and lit it with a fire. There are several more recruitment posts on the walls of the museum: searching for the dead, catching thieves, hunting, and even finding lovers...... Consult the administrator.,Posts that are not big or small have been answered.,But the one who is looking for a lover has been unattended.。 The skeleton stared at it worriedly, or ...... The poster was a widow from a noble family in Jiucheng, about thirty years old, only a few years older than herself, and her lover's request was written about a neatly dressed and serious adult. Thinking about it, the conditions are met, and his advantage is that he is a delicate rough man, although he lacks a little bit in appearance, but he has strength, which is enough to give women a sense of security. But no one takes such an easy job, so there must be something strange. Is there any information that outsiders don't know? Why didn't they recognize their son? Raised his arm in an instant, and an exclamation came from behind. The skeleton withdrew his hand and looked curiously, there were several people around the posting of the highest-paying demon removal post, could it be that there was a great person who took the post? Leaning over and seeing, the pair of thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes instantly caught him, showing a mouthful of fine white teeth to push away the crowd, dragged a few of his fingers to the registration office, signed the form, and handed it to him. His wide hat covered half of the boy's face, and when he signed it, he saw his name, which was the generic number 7, I don't know if it was a child, and there were red animal paw prints under the handwriting.

The administrator had a good impression of the outsider who had taken over the task twice, and vaguely felt that he had some ability, and he was not slack off because of poverty, so he kindly revealed some news: "The client is Master Kevin of the Yajin family of Jiucheng Fabric Daxing, and he simply said that there are unclean things in the house, which makes him sick for a long time." The specific two to Yajin, the client will explain the situation in detail. It's just that there is no news from the people who went to the front yet......"

In other words, life and death are uncertain, and there is no return...... The skeleton is determined that the teenager is not simple, and whether he can live or not is another matter. The young calf called 7 was not afraid of the tiger, grabbed the map and ran out. The opportunity to dismantle the gang flew away immediately, and the skeleton shortened his neck, and reluctantly stepped out of the warm tavern. Sigh: "Is this revenge or revenge." ”

Yakin's mansion is located in the heart of the city, and they can get there from the south, let alone three hours. This is still the premise of taking a car.

"Hey!" It's too late. 7And he ran to the door of a nearby merchant house, and hired a carriage. Spending money is like water, and it hurts to see the person who earns money next to him. When I got into the carriage, the plush blankets were readily available, and the cold outside seemed to be two spaces. The child is covered with a blanket and sleeps in a proper position. Sleep innocently, everything is worry-free. The skeleton is too lazy to think about what's going on, and the money spent naturally has to know how to enjoy it. He let his body soften and open, and sat down and fell asleep.

The sky gradually darkened, and the two horse lanterns in front of the car were lit at some point, flashing an unknown orange hue, resembling fireflies. Time disappears like a blink of an eye when it's resting. The groom knocked on the car a few times and called, "Sir, it's here." "The skeleton woke up very quickly, and woke up 7. Accustomed to the warmth, it was enough to choke on the carriage. 7 was carried down in a daze, and did not respond to the cold.

The recruitment post, signed by the recruitment manager, was handed to the deacon, and the two were invited to the hall to wait. The servant brought dessert and black tea, and the skull was gone, and he couldn't eat enough, muttering, "It tastes good, but it's not enough to stuff your teeth." "Rough people don't know what it means to savor it, and the fairy deer tea, which is rare among the nobles, gets the treatment of drinking water. The boy didn't even taste it, and pushed it to him. Instead, he got up and walked around, looking around. There are many famous paintings hanging on the wall, and there is a picture of a cub on fire, with four paws facing the sky, biting a surprisingly long tail, and looking playful and cute.

Turning back, Skeleton asked, "What did you find?"

7 shook his head, but his demeanor changed slightly.

After waiting for a long time, the deacon apologized and said, "Let you wait for a long time, please here." "I didn't expect that in the other room, waiting for a sumptuous dinner and a young man sitting in the main seat.

The deacon did not stay with his master, as if he had something else to do.

"You may be seated, Mr. Skull. "The host was polite.

After taking his seat, Skull forced himself to concentrate on his work: "I heard that several demon slayers have visited the adult's mansion, but I don't know how it is going?"

Kevin slowly slipped through the meat on his plate: "I don't like to discuss these things during mealtime, it affects my appetite. Sir, agree, right?" The facial muscles did not fluctuate much, and the complexion was pale, which caused the words to be weak. Sick and sick, I feel bad.

"Offended. "Skull has never agreed so much with the rules of high society, and he is not used to having a full meal with a knife and fork.

Kevin looked at the other with interest: "The little boy can also kill demons?"

7 nodded.

"Why are you wearing so thin?"

7 Turn to the skull and turn the right to speak.

"My lord, this kid is mute. ”

The tone was sympathetic and regretful, but Kevin laughed as if he had heard a funny joke, and sneered: "The gods give one thing, and they will take one thing to compensate." It's fate. "Comfort sounds like schadenfreude, it's weird.

After eating until he was full, Kevin wiped the corners of his mouth and started talking: "I don't know why, I see my husband as an old friend, very kind." ”

Just polite, the skeleton complimented: "Lord Yajin is a young talent, and his career is booming, if I am your old friend, I will naturally be unforgettable for you." ”

Kevin thought thoughtfully: "What if it is forgotten? Because there are so many living beings, but is it just a drop in the ocean?" Ignoring the other party's doubts, he smiled and said, "Is the dinner to your taste?"

Skeleton thanked from the bottom of his heart: "The world is delicious, thank you!"

Satisfied, Kevin continued: "I heard that during the war, in order to survive, many soldiers also ate raw meat. It's a pity that they are all tasteless, and they can't be cooked on the spot. We, the noble merchants, should not forget the cruelty of the battlefield now, and if we can do more, we will have more. ”

The cutlery stopped.

Like a thorn in the back. In an instant, the ground was full of corpses, and the hot red clay was hidden in dozens of pitch-black shadows, and the sound of gnawing and whimpering was ...... The picture flashed by, but it seemed like an electric current struck a nerve. The waves of madness and despair imprinted in my brain came rushing up.

"Thank you for your hospitality. "The food became tasteless and difficult to swallow.

Kevin looked at the guest's discolored face in the opposite good mood: "Mr. Skull, the little devil in my family loves to play pranks, if he knows how to stop in moderation, he will be the best chef in Yajin." ”

Suddenly, he said that he was fighting, and he took the initiative to talk about the object of demon extermination, and faintly noticed that something was wrong, and he got up and asked, "What do you mean?

"How would I know, sir? Kevin is elegant and calm, but makes Skull feel like a fish on a chopping block, with nowhere to run. The magnificence and brightness in the light are also dull and suffocating. The skeleton was about to question, but the weak noble son gasped violently, and his slender body lay on the table, his movements were slow, and his face was densely covered with sweat. Because the skeleton is close and looks at it in detail, it is certain that it is not a fraud. Immediately hold Kevin, who wants to get up. And with support, the ten fingers on the arm that are almost skinny are like grasping a life-saving straw, and they will not let go. Skeleton was surprised that he was so sick: "It seems that the things in the Lord's Mansion need to be cleaned up early." ”

"Tomorrow...... I'll tell you everything. "It's as thin as a mosquito and a fly, but the words are clear to the other party's ears.

The calm and capable deacon returned, and Kevin saw him breathe a sigh of relief and let go of his hand. The deacon takes three steps and two steps to pick up the person before he falls. The frown when he left was clear at a glance.

Looking back, 7 were still eating, eating in small bites, slowly, when they were not there at all. I caught a glimpse of the uneaten soft cooked food on the plate, and the aftertaste was not exhausted. The skull strode the meteor and vomited in the yard.

In the master bedroom, Kevin was lying on the bed, unlike before, this room that did not let the darkness erode was silent, the deacon opened the window, the wind came in, raised the deacon's hair, raised the light blue brocade curtain and satin, and came to Kevin's side and kissed him lightly.

"Have all the demon slayers been sent out?"

"Sent out. ”

Kevin didn't mean to hurt anyone, and sending out a recruitment post was just a cover, and now that people are coming, they should be released. But he still deceived Brother Bones with a bad heart. He thought he was eating human flesh.

"I forgot about me, and I wanted to scare him more. ”

The deacon took the hot and humid towel from the servant's hand and carefully wiped it from his face to his body. Kevin endured the pain and pulled out a smile: "North, I'm sorry, I don't have the physical strength now, I don't have the sense of smell, and now the sense of taste is gone." Today I ate a lot of what you made, but I can't taste that you made it. ”

North soothed his sad emotions: "It's okay, I'll wait for you to get better." ”

"North, your gentleness is a false consolation...... But I can't help it. "They and this house are like each other, and they can't afford it. Eternity, which is more amazing than a flash in the pan.

Tomorrow, it's time for the fool in room 7 to wake up too.

Like a vampire eager to embrace the sun, Kevin is so looking forward to the dawn. Gently fall into the eye.

"I'm content. ”
