She easily reminded me of Rapunzel in a Western fairy tale, sitting quietly in front of her, both in her posture and in her temperament, especially after she told me her story.

A princess was cursed by a witch, imprisoned by the king in the tower of the forest, the princess lost her freedom, she was imprisoned in the tower and could not come out, and outsiders could not enter, the princess lived a miserable life every day, but the princess met a passing prince, the princess and the prince fell in love at first sight, the prince climbed into the tower with the princess's long hair every day to meet her, but was discovered by the witch, cut off the princess's long hair, and caused the prince to blind his eyes, almost after twists and turns, the couple finally met in a different place, The princess and prince lived happily ever after.

When I finished telling her the story of the princess and the prince, she seemed to be very interested, her big eyes sparkled with happiness, and she kept asking me, "Really?" The princess and prince lived happily ever after? And what about witches? Won't the witch come and get them? Where do they end up living? ”

Faced with this innocent and beautiful girl, I patiently replied to her: "Yes, but this is just a fairy tale, maybe the princess and the prince are not happy, after the new marriage, the passionate and exciting life has become a plain oil rice sauce vinegar tea, they began to get tired of the boring life, began to quarrel every day, and finally the prince fell in love with the new princess and abandoned Rapunzel." I looked at the stunned girl who listened, and suddenly I couldn't bear it, did I say too much.

Ah Ji walked over, put a cup of tea on the table, and said to the girl sitting across from me, "Girl, don't pay attention to her, our boss lady is a pervert." She gave me a blank look, it seems that she is still haunted by the last time, it seems that I must find a time to explain.

"Princess, so why are you coming to me now?" I asked the girl who looked like Rapunzel with a smile.

When she heard me call her that, she blushed shyly and waved at me again and again: "Just call me Xiaoyue." "When this girl sits quietly and does not speak, she really looks like a noble and innocent princess, her long hair hangs down to her waist, her big brown eyes shine, she always looks at you with dignity and gentleness, and her soft and ruddy lips, when she smiles at you, it is simply too gentle.

But she couldn't speak, and as soon as she spoke, she was too naïve, and she looked at me with a persistent look on her face, and said, "Can you help me find him?" ”

"Your prince? As long as you pay the price you deserve, I can help you make your wish come true. But only if you tell me who your prince is? I told her.

Her eyes widened in confusion, and then she said to me: "But, I haven't met him, I've only chatted with him on the Internet, and I don't know anything else, but I have his screen name, and this time he asked me to come out to find him." ”

I didn't expect that there are still children in online dating in this year, which is really rare,

"We met online, I have known him for almost a year, he took the initiative to add me, we have common interests and hobbies, he also knows each other very well, we talk about everything on the Internet, I have a feeling, as if I and he were acquaintances in a previous life, as if we have known each other for hundreds of years. I didn't have any friends, and my parents were strict about my interactions with other people since I was a child, but since I met him, I felt that it didn't matter, and I had my first friend. I couldn't be happier. ”

"And do your mom and dad know the fact that you were in a relationship with her?" I asked her curiously.

She thought for a moment, then shook her head: "No, I was afraid that my parents would interfere with my dealings with him, so I never dared to tell my parents." This time, I also sneaked out without them. He told me, go all the way to the west, don't look back, keep walking, and you will find him, so I went all the way over, and ended up in your pawnshop. ”

"Your mom and dad didn't find out? Didn't they send anyone to you? I asked, somewhat surprised.

She seemed to have just thought about this, she looked up at me, and said with an innocent face: "It seems that they really didn't come to me, I have been running out secretly for two weeks, but there is no movement at home." ”

I sighed helplessly, how big her nerves are, sure enough, she is a good type who has been protected by her family since she was a child, she doesn't let her know anything, she doesn't let her worry about anything, it seems that she doesn't even know her true identity, but is this really good for her.

I looked directly into her beautiful and innocent eyes, which were crystal clear and devoid of any impurities, and I hope she would remain innocent when she knew the truth of the matter.

I spoke slowly and said to her, "As far as I know, you are a descendant of demon hunters, and you have their breath in you. ”

She really didn't know anything, and when she heard my words, she was obviously surprised and asked, "What is a demon hunter?" She lifted the hem of her clothes, trying to smell something strange about herself. I watched her actions and sighed, sure enough, she was a stupid child who didn't know anything, but I still explained to her: "Don't smell anymore, you can't smell it, only people with special sensibilities can feel it, like me, and those youkai." The world we live in seems to be peaceful on the surface, only humans and animals survive in this world, but on the calm surface, in fact, the dark tide is turbulent, in this world, in addition to people, there are ghosts, monsters, demons, demons, and correspondingly, there are people with some special abilities, just like my former master, is a goddess, is specialized in eliminating ghosts. And your family, which is a demon exterminator. Demon hunters and demons are born and restrain each other, and they are connected from generation to generation, either you are strong, or I am weak, either you die, or I die, and you are too weak, and the demon will come to destroy you. Your parents were very thoughtful, but I think they were wrong from the start, and you still have to deal with it. ”

She opened her big beautiful eyes, and she didn't seem to understand what I said, and she said, "But what does this have to do with me being a descendant of a monster hunter?" I'm here for that guy. ”

I said to her, "Don't you understand that there is no prince in the first place, and the prince you are talking about is actually your father and mother pretending?" ”

She was a little difficult to accept the huge amount of information, and she shook her head: "But I don't understand, why do my parents pretend to be this prince, right?" Are they trying to trick me, but why? ”

I saw that she finally opened her mind, and said to her: "Because you don't have the ability yet, you don't have the ability to deal with the monsters, if you don't escape, you will be killed by the monsters you find, your parents tricked you to me, just want you to hide from me, let me protect you, if I guess correctly, you should be 18 years old, right?"

She turned pale and said to me, "There are still two days left, is there anything wrong with that?" ”

I touched my chin and said to myself, "I see, they went for you." ”

"What?"

I explained: "Every demon hunter has to duel with a demon beast of the same year in the misty forest on the day he becomes an adult, only the winning side can survive, and the surviving human can also become a real demon hunter on that day, punish evil and promote good, and realize their mission, and you escape, naturally your family will replace you, but your parents are old, I am afraid that there are many fierce and very few." ”

When she heard my words, she cried in fear: "Boss, what should I do, please save my parents, they asked me to come to you, you will definitely have a way." Please. ”

I asked her to stand up, wiped away her tears, and then said to her, "Of course I have a way, but I have rules here, yours and I exchange, and one of your souls in exchange for your requirements." ”

She cried and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, you take my soul away, I just need to change my parents to live." ”

Listening to her wish, I smiled softly: "I do have everything I need here, but there is a premise that I can do it, I am just a mortal, I can't control people's life and death, I can't do this request of yours." ”

Seeing that she was about to cry again, I changed my style and said to her again: "However, I can give you a magic weapon to eliminate demons, you can face it yourself, whether you have the courage to fight, that's your business." ”

She listened to my words, stayed in place for a long time and did not respond, I reminded her: "Actually, you can also come according to your parents' arrangement, stay with me, I will keep you safe, although you also have to exchange a soul, but it is much better than sending you to death, have you thought about it?" ”

She listened to my words and shook her head vigorously: "No, I can't watch my parents die. Then she opened her bitten white lips and said to me, "I want a weapon to kill demons." Take my soul. ”

After exchanging a soul for a demon slaying weapon, Xiaoyue walked out of my room with a resolute gaze. Looking at her distant back, a strange smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

Ah Ji walked over, pouted dissatisfiedly and asked: "Boss, why are you lying to the little girl, it's not as evil as you said, what kind of demon hunter wants to duel with demon beasts, if you don't win, you will die or something, I haven't heard of this kind of statement in so many years, why do you want to lie." ”

I didn't care about raising my legs, picked up the tea that had been cooled on the table and took a sip, then frowned and spit it out, I handed the teacup to Ah Ji and said to her, "Ah Ji, pour me a hot one." Ah Ji looked at me coldly, there was no intention of pouring tea at all, I sighed, and said helplessly: "Oh, there are still a lot of stories to tell someone, but now it seems that it's better to forget it, just rot in the stomach, and I can't suffocate it anyway." ”

Ah Ji listened to my words, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and poured a cup of hot tea, and put it in front of me: "Drink it, you must tell me when you finish drinking." ”

I smiled smugly: "Good performance, say, what do you want to know?" ”

Ah Ji listened to my words, brought a chair, and sat next to me: "Why are you lying, why are you lying to Xiaoyue?" ”

I sighed, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Actually, I didn't lie to her, at least it's true that she is a descendant of the demon hunter, and something big will happen in her family soon, and the people who tricked her here are not kind at all, only Xiaoyue can save their demon hunter clan." ”

Ah Ji took a breath of cold air and frowned: "In this way, the person who tricked Xiaoyue into coming here was not her parents, but someone else. She curled up in the chair and hugged her knees, and then said a little embarrassed: "But I see that Xiaoyue's stupid girl doesn't understand anything, can she save her family's people?" ”

"Do you know why her parents have strictly controlled her since she was a child and didn't let her know the truth?" Ah Ji shook his head.

I leaned back in my chair, closed my eyes, and spoke slowly for a long time: "Because she has the best bloodline and the highest talent of the Demon Hunter, have you seen her heterochromic pupils?" That's the logo. ”
