Chapter 167: You I Don't Know
"Shutong, do you choose to eat people or choose to live?" The teenager asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The cicada demon said without thinking: "Live." ”
The answer to this question is obvious. Every living being is afraid of death, whether it is thinking or not. There is a lot of food that can be relied on for survival, even if many demons say that humans eat very delicious, but in the end, the human spirit is still a relatively low-end food after all.
It doesn't matter if you eat people or not, if you die, you'll have nothing left. I finally became a demon, and I haven't started to try another new life.
It's just that between the demon hunter and the demon, can you also bargain?
If it was another demon hunter, Shu Tong would never believe him. But this human boy named "Land Patrol" is eccentric, unlike any human he has ever seen before. At this moment, his body exudes a dangerous aura unique to being a demon hunter, but for some reason, Shu Tong doesn't think he is very scary.
Perhaps it was the contradictions and sadness that he unconsciously revealed that broke it all.
The boy suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the cicada demon's arm. His hands weren't big, and his fingers were slender, but they were powerful, pinching the cicada's fragile arms, which had become human-like. When he let go of his hand, he thought that there would be a bright red five-finger mark on his arm, but what he saw was a very strange green mark.
That green mark contains an extremely special energy surge, and Shu Tong can clearly feel it with his body as a demon.
It is a living energy, fresh, vibrant, yet infinitely terrifying.
Shu Tong knew that what Lu Xun said was true, he left this mark on his body, which was actually injected with a strange power in his body. It's like an agreement, a guarantee, a contract. If you break the agreement with him, then something terrible will happen to you.
This is a promise that must not be broken!
Lu Xun really kept his promise, and after leaving a mark on the cicada demon's body, he let him go. After that, Lu Xun lived in this vicinity for a period of time, and in the mountains, he killed a lot of demons, and many demons, like the cicada demons, accepted Lu Xun's mark and vowed not to feed on humans for the rest of their lives.
At first, it was to save my life, but later, I gradually felt that it was nothing. There are many things that can be used as food, and even if you don't eat anything and feed on the essence of heaven and earth, you can sustain your life.
Demons do not have such a strong racial concept, their individuals are relatively independent of each other, unlike humans, who take hunting their own kind as an absolute taboo, and have adhered to the principle of "killing to pay for life, and paying off debts" since ancient times. Demons can hunt each other, and it is normal for the weak to eat the strong.
Therefore, Lu Xun sometimes kills trolls, and will also bring the demon corpses whose spirits have not yet dispersed to this group of demons who swear not to eat people, so that they can absorb their spirits and become stronger.
Gradually, they became acquainted with each other, and from time to time, they gathered in the mountains and drank freely, as they had done before.
But Lu Xun has a quirk, as long as he is with him, all demons must turn into human form, whether they are hard or not, and whether they want to or not. Moreover, all these demons with imprints on their bodies were named by him, or they were named after themselves under his persecution.
It used to be a very interesting time, because Lu Xun was a very interesting human being, and he led them to see many strange things in the human world.
He taught them how to make wine and even took them to the movies.
A group of demons who have transformed into humans are sitting in a human movie theater, holding popcorn buckets in their hands, looking at a loss. Although it was a long time ago, the memory is still as vivid as if it happened yesterday.
In this time when I had to take on the form of a human being, I gained a lot of good memories. The life of a demon is too long, and as time passes, things that can be remembered are already very rare, let alone such things that can be brought together and talked about.
And turned into a human, trying to blend in with the crowd, carefully guessing the mind of this strange creature, unconsciously, actually developed a great curiosity about human beings little by little.
One day, the cicada demon Shutong suddenly found that it was impossible for him to eat people anymore, and the thought of eating humans would cause a faint sense of disgust.
For at some point, it seems that there are also some inexplicable connections with the human community, such as the face of a human old lady who saw him wearing only a white blouse and bare her legs in the winter, and hurriedly turned home and took out a coat that had draped over him.
It turns out that this is not a contract, but a choice of one's own.
Sometimes, Shu Tong thinks that it would be nice if someone like Lu Xun could become the leader of the demon hunter, and if that was the case, maybe the demon hunter would not be so annoying, and it could reduce a lot of useless fights.
However, as far as he knew, Lu Xun never seemed to be the leader of the Demon Hunter. For some reason, he didn't take the lead in the Demon Hunter's family. Moreover, since the history of human beings as demon hunters, Lu Xun is the first fusion in history to fail to achieve a leading position in the family.
And today, suddenly, I heard the news that Lu Xun had died.
For the life and death of human beings, demons have always looked very indifferent, because human beings live too short, and there is always a feeling that someone I met yesterday suddenly died today. Human beings are so fragile that if you are sad about their deaths, you will have an inexhaustible heartbreak.
But Lu Xun was different, hearing the news that Lu Xun had died, and confirmed that the man who appeared in front of him with the same smell as Lu Xun was not Lu Xun, but Lu Xun's son, and the cicada demon's heart had a feeling that he had never felt before.
The feeling made it difficult to breathe, something was squeezing in the heart area, and there was a little unbearable pain.
It's called sadness, right? Demons also have emotions, but they are not as strong as humans. Perhaps, because of the more contact with human beings, the emotions have become clearer than before?
Because the Land Patrol is different. His appearance seems to have taken his life on a completely different path - a more open and inclusive path.
I listened quietly to his story, with mixed feelings. The demon's thinking is different from ours, not so delicate, and often can only talk about things and state things objectively. As I listened, I made up a lot of stuff in my head. I called up all my memories and searched them carefully, but in my memories, I couldn't find the shadow of the young man in his mouth at all.
My father, Lu Xun, was a very good ordinary man. I have received a traditional education since I was a child, respecting the old and loving the young, having a sense of public morality, and maintaining absolute humility in front of my elders. My education was so traditional and ordinary that my personality seemed a bit submissive from an early age.
