I woke up from my dream again.

"Wake up. "It's the sound of feathers.

I guess I have entered the dream too many times, and I feel that my head is heavy, and if it weren't for the rapid movement of the scenery around me, I wouldn't feel that I was moving fast with the back of a dark horse.

"What about later?" I asked anxiously, not admiring how smooth Chaoguang was running, "You went with that boy to find Sunset," and when I looked sideways, the red mare was also moving with us, and it glanced at me with an apologetic look in its eyes, "Sunset is already here, what about the boy?"

Chaoguang didn't speak.

"It didn't take long for Chaoguang and the boy to find the people who kidnapped Sunset," Flip Yu explained, "Those people were obviously more vigilant and equipped this time because they had seen Chaoguang last time. ”

Against humans with guns, a child and a horse have little chance of winning.

"Chaoguang, not an ordinary horse. I said, "If it's there, it should..."

Feather shook his head, "It was supposed to be an easy thing, but those people didn't know where to find a demon slayer. Looking at my surprised expression, Flip Feather added, "I guess it's the ability of the super light that has spread in this area, and there are demon slayers coming here one after another to find it." ”

Demon killers...

"I've seen very powerful demon slayers," I said, "but even if it's that level, it's not easy to deal with Chaoguang alone." ”

Eight Horses is not just a name.

"Well, that's right. "If that demon slayer doesn't know about the weakness of the Eight Horses, then naturally it can't pose a threat. ”

“... Weakness?"

Flip Feather looked at Chaoguang hesitantly, "The skills of the Eight Horses are different, and the weaknesses are also different, and the enemy who knows the weaknesses can easily block the Eight Horses' abilities." ”

I nodded, "It's okay, you don't need to elaborate on weaknesses, this kind of thing will definitely be bad for you if you let humans know..."

"It doesn't matter. Chaoguang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, "It's okay to tell you, I'm a horse with shadows, so I need light." No matter what kind of light it is, it's good to form a shadow, even if it's just a little bit. ”

"That in the night..."

"It's not complete darkness in the night," says Chaoguang, "and there are very few moments of complete darkness in nature, so that day I... Careless. ”

Next, Chaoguang told me little by little about what happened that day.

It and the boy successfully found the place where Sunset was imprisoned, Sunset was happy and uneasy to see the arrival of the two of them, Chaoguang unfolded the shadow as protection, the boy looked around, and it didn't take long to find a way to open the fence, maybe those people also thought Sunset was too beautiful, so they didn't restrict its movement in any way that would hurt it, as long as the fence was opened, it was equivalent to letting Sunset get free.

The boy rode back onto Sunset, ready to continue to leave quietly, Chaoguang asked them to go first, and he followed behind to ensure that no one caught up, just when everyone felt that everything was settled, Chaoguang suddenly felt a softness under his feet, and at the same time a human voice came from behind.

It's the sound of chanting, and it should be... Seal.

The black runes formed a circle around the two horses and one person, and a huge pressure hit the super light, it only felt pain under its feet, and the air around it became thinner, although the boy and mare were not affected by it, but a group of people with guns that appeared in an instant also made them dare not act rashly.

As the sound of the incantation grew louder and louder, Chaoguang felt that his demonic power was getting weaker and weaker, but not yet to be controlled, it kept itself calm, ready to unfold its shadow - it should still be able to spread its shadow in areas other than this level of sealing.

However, a black shadow struck in the direction of Chaoguang, and a pitch-black barrier suddenly rose at the location of Chaoguang in the sealing circle, gradually enveloping Chaoguang completely from the bottom up.

"That's... A dark space with no light in sight. Chaoguang said, "Actually, this space has no other purpose except to block the light, but at that moment I was really stupid in place, the power of the seal and the completely lightless space made me completely stupid and unable to use the ability, my whole body couldn't move, and I could only hear the sound outside the black space with music." ”

“... Actually, those people are coming for you. "Sunset should just be a bait, after all, helping the demon slayer catch one of the eight horses is more expensive than ten good horses.

"It seems that this is the case now," Chaoguang's tone seemed to smile wryly, "and I obediently crashed into their trap. ”

"And then?" I asked.

"Later," Chaoguang paused for a while, "Later, you also saw that Sunset and I were here safe and sound. ”

"That boy, he..."

"He saved me. Chaoguang said, "As the black space became more and more confined and I almost gave up on escaping, I thought that if I hadn't refused to leave the human world with Hachijun last time, this might not have happened." ”

"Hmph, less pretense. Flip Feather suddenly interjected, "If you have a long memory, you won't be missing this time." ”

"If," Chaoguang suddenly stopped, and the other two horses also stood in front and back, "If I can really find that boy this time, then I am willing to help you find the other Eight Horses, and I am willing to go back with you." ”

When the dark horse said this, he kept looking me in the eye.

"Well, good. I replied.

The horses set off again, and Superlight began to reminisce about the past.

"Before I gave up completely, people outside the space were suddenly shouting loudly, sounding extremely nervous," Chaoguang said, "I didn't want to care about what was going on outside at that time, and at that moment, I felt a person rush into the black space." ”

“... Even if this seal is against youkai, it will have an effect on him if a human breaks in rashly. I said.

"Well, yes, so when I realized that the stupid boy had rushed in, he almost viciously tried to push him out, but he ignored me, and said a word to me in his own gentle tone for horses. ”

"One word?" "In just one sentence, saved Chaoguang?

"Well, he told me, 'Look me in the eye. ’”

"Eyes?" couldn't really understand the boy's brain circuitry.

I didn't understand either, but I found his face with the help of the smell, but it was too dark for me to see anything, and the boy still asked me to look into his eyes, and I tried to find it, and finally I saw a glimmer of light in the darkness. ”

"Light?!"

"Well, in the boy's eyes, I saw myself. "It doesn't stand to reason that this isn't light, but it's true that from the moment I saw his eyes, I could spread my shadow again, even if it was only a shadow, and it was enough to break through the barrier." ”

In the eyes... What kind of existence is that?

"Next, cracks appear in that black barrier, and seeing the light again means we don't have to be afraid. "Before the humans who attacked us could react, I could hear the boy's cheerful laughter as he ran in the direction of the sunset, and I ran again until I reached a small bridge." ”

Bridge... It's not a good premonition.

"We were fast, those people had been left far behind us, and the boy jumped off Sunset's back and looked relieved," Chaoguang said, "He walked up to me and stretched out his hand to touch my neck like he had met me for the first time." ”

Superlight didn't say any more, and I looked at Feather.

"The child is estimated to have been affected by the barrier just now, and his physical strength is exhausted, but they are standing by the bridge again, and the boy suddenly faints, and before Chaoguang can react, the person falls," Flip Yu kept looking at Chaoguang when he spoke, and his eyes were full of sympathy, "Under the bridge is the rolling river." ”

......

"So, the boy is now missing. I said, "In that case, even if you find the group of people who attacked you, you won't find the boys." ”

"When the boy fell, the men caught up. "They didn't expect to hurt humans, so they quickly fled after seeing the boy fall." It turned its head to me, "If you humans saw your own kind disappear, would you find a way to find it?" ”

I didn't know how to answer for a while, if I answered yes, I was gambling, and if I answered no, then Chaoguang would be completely dead to humanity.

"Of course!" interrupted my train of thought, "you know, humans are a strange species sometimes, and if they don't go to the child, they'll be so scared that they can't sleep day and night. ”

Superlight continued to look at me, as if searching for the answer to the feather.

"I... I don't know. I said, Chaoguang's eyes darkened a little, "But one thing is certain, those people didn't want to hurt the kid at first, otherwise it would have been much easier to lock them up in the barrier together, and... It's nothing, maybe they really know something, let's go find out. ”

The arrival of the demon killer always makes me a little concerned.
