Zong An extinguished the cigarette in his hand, "To be on the safe side, I'll go with you." ”

"It's too dangerous for you to go out now, and you're still injured, so get some rest first," I said, "and they wouldn't attack me if I were alone." ”

"Also, when I go out with you, those monsters may think that the two of us are together, but it is not easy for you to get out. He took out a small round mirror from the drawer, "You take this, in case of danger, you can delay taking out the mirror for some time." ”

It didn't look like there was anything special about the mirror in my hand, "The things that kill the demon really have the aura of a youkai," I said with a smile, "I really didn't expect that one day I would offer to help someone you so annoying." ”

"You used to laugh too, I always thought you would only have a dark face," Zong An's expression also relaxed, "I didn't expect that I would be helped by you one after another, you have such strong demonic power and concentration, if you can not be so emotional, you will definitely become an excellent demon slayer." ”

"It's better to be a demon killer," I put the mirror in my pocket, "It's hard to be a ghostwriter." "After that, I picked up the bag with feathers and walked out of Zong An's study, along the way, the demon exterminators of the Zong family looked at me in whispers, and there was a strong and hateful demon aura gathered outside the door of the Bauhinia Courtyard, just now I was so fearless with Zong An, but when it was time to open the door, I was extremely nervous, and the hand holding the doorknob trembled.

After all, this is the first time I've faced a hostile youkai alone. I used to only see a small part of the monster world, for the nature of the monster, I have never known how to define the nature of the monster, after walking out of the Tianbei groceries, I saw the larger monster world, this world is more real, and more ruthless. Not all youkai are as polite as the youkai who came to me to write letters, and not all youkai have an indissoluble fate with humans, but every time I feel that I should draw a line with youkai, I will meet youkai who warm me, and in this way, my definition of the yokai world is even more vague, and I don't know which of the world in my eyes is true and which is false. If there's an invisible line between youkai and humans, then what is a person like me who stands on the line?

Thinking back for a moment, organizing my thoughts, adjusting my breathing, I tightened the mirror in my pocket, trying to make sure I didn't look as scared as I had in my heart.

That's right, no matter what, I should still believe that even if there is a boundary between youkai and humans, there is still something real. Since the ghostwriter Ye Ke has always believed in monsters, he should not doubt what he really experienced this time.

With this belief, I asked myself not to care about the malice from outside the door, and slowly pushed open the door of the Bauhinia Courtyard.

The monsters outside the door didn't attack me, they just quietly gathered outside the Bauhinia Courtyard Gate. Seeing me come out, the tortoise standing in the middle opened his mouth, "Lord Ye Ke, is that demon slayer named Zong An inside?"

I didn't answer him, because the scene in front of me made me have to doubt my thoughts just now, the burning fish rocks were blazing, the plants were wailing, the animals were scattering and fleeing, and the surrounding mixed monster breath, in addition to the angry, restless and panicked monsters, there were also some excited, proud monsters, their breath was a certain distance from the Bauhinia Garden, that distance...... These youkai went to residential areas!

I looked at the elder-like tortoise in disbelief, "Do you have to interfere with ordinary people?"

"We just wanted to ask the clan why they wanted to destroy the youkai in City A," Tortoise said, "and we didn't intend to make a big deal out of it." ”

"Is there such a discussion?" I pointed to the raging fire in front of me, "Is there a difference between you who destroy fish and rocks like this and the humans you hate?

"But if they don't, the Zong family won't agree to hand over their eldest son. Tortoise said.

The eldest son, Zong'an?

"What does this have to do with the eldest son?" I said, "Besides, the clan didn't say they wanted to get rid of all the monsters. ”

"Then why have there often been monsters missing inexplicably since the Zong family came to City A?" The tortoise stretched his neck excitedly, "I heard that the eldest son of the Zong family will be the next leader of the Zong family, this person is fierce and vicious, and he hates the monsters to the core, and if he is the leader, we will not have a way to live." As long as we exchange the eldest son of the clan and take him hostage in the cave of Nanshan to ensure that they do not attack us with spells and weapons again, we will return to where we should return. Otherwise, we can only strike first and attack ordinary people and weak demon exterminators. ”

"Youkai don't approach humans at will, and even if they do, they have a purpose. ”

"A monster is a wolf that can't be fed, and it won't treat you really just because you're kind to it. ”

"It is an unwritten rule between us that we do not disturb each other. ”

The words that Zong An had said echoed in my head.

"Who did you hear that the Zong family wants to destroy all the monsters in City A?" I asked, indeed, Zong An is a rational and unscrupulous person, he may use all kinds of cruel methods in order to get rid of troublesome monsters, but because he is a rational person, he will abide by his bottom line and not disturb each other, which is his bottom line.

The tortoise looked at me suspiciously.

"I think there may be a misunderstanding between the two of you in this matter, and someone must have told a lie. I said, "I don't like Zong An as a person, but I won't arbitrarily add trumped-up charges to him." Where is the guy who told you that the clan is going to destroy all the monsters now? Let it come out and confront it, and you will know what the truth is. ”

"It didn't come," said the tortoise, "it used to be Zong'an's attendant, but it was abandoned and almost eliminated because it accidentally learned of Zong'an's plan." ”

"I'm sorry, I've never had a squire like that. Zong An's voice suddenly sounded, and he actually walked out of the Bauhinia Courtyard, and he was alone!

"You're crazy, go back. I stood in front of him, "Didn't you say don't come out!"

Zong An pushed me away with his hand, "Don't worry, they don't have the courage to do anything to me at the door of my house," his face was still very pale, but the smile on his face made me tremble, the usual Zong An just made people feel dangerous, at this time, he actually had a murderous face, "And if I don't come out again, they may not affect many people, the demon exterminator is to protect human beings from the infestation of the monster, if this can't be done, it will be in vain to eliminate the demon man." He took a few steps forward, tilted his head to stare at the tortoise, and said with a wicked smile, "It's useless to negotiate, these monsters who can't even tell the truth from the fake dare to mess around in the territory of the sect family without knowing the height of the sky, I want to see who gave them the guts." ”

The hatred coming from the monsters became more obvious, and bursts of suffocating breath came from all directions, didn't Zong An come out at such a time!

"Come on, aren't you going to catch me," Zong An raised his uninjured right hand and moved his fingers, and I vaguely saw the ink drawing spell on his arm, "Who wants to be the first to try?"
