Uncle Bai was followed by a few mysterious people, none of them seemed to be good at stubble, there were about four or five people, it looked like they were collecting protection money, could it be that I completely offended Uncle Bai, and he was looking for someone to teach me a lesson? But according to Tutor Yue Fen, it is not so.

"Yuefen, I'm sorry, celebrate or something, let's do it another day. We're looking for this little brother tonight. Uncle Bai said.

"Let's talk about it after eating first, isn't your little as important as your niece's?" Mentor Yuefen was obviously a little unhappy.

"Yes, Uncle Bai, Yin Feng hasn't eaten well in the past few days, let's discuss it after eating first. Jingwen saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly came forward to reconcile.

"Xiao Jing, what about the meal, uncle will definitely prepare a big meal for you to make up for you, but now I am really in a hurry, don't worry, uncle can't be hungry for this kid, talk to Lao Yu about this meal tonight, the account will be on my head, I will borrow the person first, and I will send it back to you later." After Uncle Bai finished speaking, he came and dragged me up.

Talking about where to take me, can you ask for the wishes of the parties, now a group of gangster-like people want to take me away, I am really a little scared! I hurriedly asked Jing Wen for help, Jing Wen was about to say something but was stopped by Mentor Yue Fen.

"This guy is Jing'er's life-saving benefactor, if I find that you dare to hurt him a single hair, let alone my niece, I will definitely not be able to let you go. Mentor Yuefen said without anger.

But Uncle Bai pretended not to hear, and pulled me out rudely, hoping that at most it would be fine, and it would be the consequences of my reckless speech.

Uncle Bai dragged me all the way to a small alley, and several people looked back and forth around me.

"Lao Bai, this thin child is the [host] of 'Demon Refining'?" asked a sloppy uncle with a one-sided blindfold.

"Why? Don't believe me? The fishermen in the harbor have seen it today. Uncle Bai said with a show off.

"Believe what Big Brother Bai said, can we not believe it? But we also want to see with our own eyes what the legendary 'demon refining' looks like, after all, it is a rare occurrence in a hundred years, you ask the children to summon it for everyone to see." Another bearded uncle with a harpoon said.

In other words, I'm not a clown or an acrobat, and even if I did, it should be my own will if I didn't perform, right?

My consciousness seemed to affect some of the touches in my body again, and I suddenly felt something strange in my body, and it seemed that the fur of "demon refining" began to grow on the back of my hands, and my nails began to grow.

And just when my body was abnormal, my perspective also changed suddenly, at this time, in front of me, not only those sloppy uncles, at this time, behind them, there are many faint floating shadows, behind Uncle Bai is a wild shark hidden in the dark, behind the single eye mask is a huge green octopus, and behind the harpoon is a huge red crab, and there are white water snakes, navy blue giant turtles....

It seems that they are all hosts with [Beasts]!

"It's opened! He opened the 'door of meaning'. The uncle with the harpoon in his hand said.

"Wow," exclaimed almost everyone present.

"I'm right, I'll summon this kid out tomorrow for everyone to see. Uncle Bai said proudly, as if he was going to summon him.

"Hey, what do you mean?" I don't know where I got the courage, and my brain suddenly got hot and I said something that I would almost never have been able to say on a regular basis.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

There is a strange sense of superiority that leaps over me, and I now feel like a leader seeing his subordinates.

"It's amazing, you can see it if you want? Let everyone see, do I agree?" I followed the momentum and involuntarily continued.

The people around him suddenly fell silent, as if they were shocked by this sudden aura.

It took a long time before someone said: "It's 'Yiqi', [the host] is affected by 'demon refining', and now in his eyes, we are just some miscellaneous fish and shrimp, the relationship between predator and prey." ”

I had never dared to speak like this before, and I did feel this way when I heard him say it.

"I'm sorry, little brother, we heard Brother Bai talk about your deeds today, and we all admired you, don't be angry. A masked uncle standing in the back at this time said.

"So, admiring me makes me hungry, do you listen to a group of you big people talking nonsense here?"

"Yes, yes, we just think about ourselves, Lao Bai, let's arrange a table for our demon refining host. Take a masked uncle and say to Uncle Bai.

Behind the masked uncle is the "big sea turtle", which seems to be also affected by it, and is the most fearful. And as the attitude of this masked uncle showed that it was like being infected, everyone was affected by their own "spirit" and hurriedly arranged for me, for fear that I would be unhappy.

Only Uncle Bai seems to be on the outside, his [Yi Beast] is the wild shark, and in this "Yiqi" circle, he naturally still maintains a proud posture.

And after their 180-degree turn and attitude changed, I finally had a good meal in the past few days, and although I was full of superiority in this, I still let go of a lot and promised them to summon "alchemy" tomorrow for them to see, and they were all overjoyed.

I have also gradually come to understand their enthusiasm, and the host will be unconsciously influenced by the beast, so it will maintain an unconscious fanaticism and reverence for the stronger beast, just as people will idolize people who are better than themselves, and the truth is the same.

They left satisfied, leaving only Uncle Bai and I in this small restaurant.

"Would you like to have a drink?" asked Uncle Bai.

"Okay. "I'm back.

He then asked the waiter to bring a few bottles of spirits.

"Did you enjoy it, did you meet your [Yi Beast] today?" Uncle Bai asked as he smoked a cigarette.

"It's okay, it's better than I thought. "I'm back.

"Don't you think it's strange?, the people who came here today all have [Yi Beasts] on their bodies?" Uncle Bai asked meaningfully.

"Well, I was about to ask you, is this ability more common?" I asked.

At this time, the wine came, Uncle Bai filled each of me with wine, picked up the glass, touched my wine glass, and then drank it dry in one gulp, and said: "Not common, our group has a name, called 'marginal people', as for how the word edge came about, many people say that it is because we are all from the edge of life and death, all have such a saying." ”

I also picked up the wine glass, but as soon as I took a sip, my mouth was numb and I asked, "How did you get this power?"

The uncle drank another glass in a blink of an eye, as if drinking water, and said: "Curse, there was a large-scale revival of monsters in this sea, at that time I and those brothers were border guards here, and in the fight with many monsters on the coast, we killed the monsters, but we should have died in that battle, but perhaps because of the curse, we did not die, but merged with the monsters we killed, they woke us up in the path of death, and since then we have this power." ”

"Is it only through life and death that you can gain this power?" I asked.

"What about you?" the uncle asked rhetorically, looking at me.

I explained it briefly, I was kissed by Jingwen, and then my body was abnormal, I had strange dreams, and finally after being stabbed to death by Bai Jun, I was accidentally awakened by "refining demons" in my dream, and I woke up safe and sound, and finally I didn't realize that I had such a strong power until now.

"Transformed by the blood of demon refining, you basically have a physique attached to you by demon refining, only such a physique can allow you to bear the power of demon refining, and then you experience death, the blood of demon refining will be completely assimilated with you, become a part of your new consciousness, and become your [Yi Beast], it is not really a demon refining, it is just a strengthened part of your body with assimilation, in short, it is still you, and it will always be just a part of your attachment. Uncle explained to me.

I was very surprised to hear this, and I couldn't help but take another sip of the spirit, it was still so spicy, but I felt that at the moment, this wine was the same as my heart, with both the excitement and the anxiety of the unknown.

"You have to learn to get along with it, learn to harness it. Coming here first today, Yuefen should be in a hurry. Uncle Bai stood up and called the waiter to settle the bill.

He led me the way I came, and I only took a few sips, and the smell of the wine was in my taste buds, and my mind began to wander from time to time, so that I didn't hear many of the words that Uncle Bai said on the way.

It wasn't until I arrived at the door of the bar that I was a little more conscious, and Uncle Bai patted me on the shoulder and suddenly asked, "Do you want to join us?"

I shook my head and asked, "What joined you?"

Uncle Bai whispered: "The alliance of our marginals [Pro]. ”

Then Uncle Bai left me here, and I stood staggering for a long time, until Jingwen and her aunt came out of the bar and helped me away...

On the way back, my mind kept recalling what Uncle Bai said: "It's not a demon refinery, it's still you, and it's always just a part of you." ”

I don't know why I'm upset, maybe I've always thought that there will always be a "god" behind me to protect me when I'm in danger, but this sentence makes me have to abandon this dependence and redefine this safety, which is really torture for me.

The next day in a daze, I seemed to hear Jingwen calling me, and my head hurt extraordinarily, and in this trance, I seemed to see Jingwen when she changed back from a monster that night, wearing a black sweater, and the dimples on her face were particularly beautiful, although she finished drinking, she was still lying quietly like that...

"Jingwen. I shouted.

"Why are you calling my little niece?" Uncle Bai's face suddenly came to me!

I was so scared that I jumped up in bed, but then I woke up from my dream!

"What are you doing, how do you break into someone's room?" I said, a little angrily.

"What is your room, this is my room, I carried you back yesterday, forgot? Okay, the two of them are waiting for you outside, come out quickly!" Uncle Bai said angrily and amusefully.

"Alright, got it! I'll be here in a moment. I said as politely as I could.

"Besides, do you want to talk to my niece for a while, you are thinking about him in your dreams?" Uncle Bai suddenly said in a teasing tone.

"Don't don't, don't mess around, I don't mean anything else, I'm just grateful that she taught me a lot, gratitude. Don't talk nonsense. "I hurried to stop it.

"Tut-tut, dare to do it, hurry up, people are in a hurry. After saying that, Uncle Bai immediately turned around and walked out of the house.

I was urged again and again, and I didn't dare to slack off, so I quickly cleaned up, got some water to the side of the wooden house, washed up briefly, and went out.

But at this time, I saw Uncle Bai, Tutor Yuefen, and Jingwen talking and laughing, and I didn't know what they were laughing at, I slowly approached Jingwen and them, but I saw that when Jingwen saw me, her expression was a little unnatural, could it be that Uncle Bai still said it?
