Demon killers... That's certainly not an ordinary thing.

"I'll hang up the phone if it's nothing, don't forget that you owe me a favor. Zong An said with an expression on his face, "Ye Ke, next time you encounter this kind of thing, you should hide far away, it will not be good for you to know too much." ”

"Thank you, I have my own judgment," the more he tried to keep me away, the more I felt that there was something strange in it, "By the way, Lu Ke today... Are you okay?" The deer on the screen was unusually quiet today, sitting beside Zong An and listening to us quietly, without saying a word.

Zong An looked at the girl next to him and rubbed her hair, "Oh, it's okay, that's how she was when she wasn't drinking." With that, he turned off the video call without even saying goodbye.

... It turns out that Lu Ke's state is also related to alcohol, which is really a long insight.

Hanging up Zong An's phone, I breathed a sigh of relief, every time I saw him, I would be nervous, and I always felt that he had some dangerous plan to win me over. After putting on the phone, I happened to face Guan Qing's face, and it seems that I still have to explain to Guan Qing what happened just now.

"Well, if I were him, I'd be interested in you too. Guan Qing said after listening to me finish the whole process.

“... Hey, who the hell are you with? "Shouldn't the normal answer be to complain about this guy with me?

"Of course I'm with you," Guan Qing said, "but you cured the butterfly casually, it's not something ordinary people can do, but I saw with my own eyes how the broken wings were restored, to be honest, it felt like a dream." From the standpoint of the demon slayer, of course he wants a partner like you. ”

"It turns out that you are Lord Ye Ke, and I was rude just now. Butterfly suddenly interrupted my conversation with Guan Qing, "I didn't expect you to come to the Black Sea." ”

"We... "I don't have any impression of this butterfly.

"You don't know me, but we all know you. The Butterfly Monster said, "Hundred Butterflies have heard about you helping youkai. Its satin-like tentacles rested lightly on my shoulders, and a wave of sleepiness came over me, and in my dreams, a small sound sounded in my ears, like a whisper.

"Lord Ye Ke, they all say that the Hundred Illusion Butterfly is like a dream, in fact, the Hundred Illusion Butterfly is not a butterfly, each Hundred Illusion Butterfly is a pure soul that is still nostalgic for the world, some are reluctant to dew trees, some are swimming fish that can't let go of the pond mud, and some are human beings who can't cut off the family, and no matter what it is before death, but where there is a little nostalgia for the soul, it will turn into a part of nature and live in this world again, and the Hundred Illusion Butterfly is just one of them.

Everyone says that the sky of the Phantom Sea is lighter than the stars, but few people know that the reason why the Phantom Butterfly is beautiful is because it carries the memories of countless souls. Our form is given by the Black Sea, and as a reward for remaining in the world, we keep flying in the sky to purify the filth over the Black Sea, which also makes our existence more meaningful, and is a gift from the Black Sea to every pure soul.

Lord Ye Ke, my name is Xi, the soul in my body is all life from the White Sea, I heard the call from my hometown a few days ago, it seems that the sky of the White Sea is no longer clean, and we need to purify it. But the pollution of the Black Sea is too serious, and it has taken me all my energy to purify the Black Sea, and although you have healed my wounds today, the butterflies that fell to the ground can no longer fly that far, and I will not be able to see the sunrise and sunset in my hometown again. If you have the opportunity to pass by the White Sea, can you help me say my sorry and miss to the sea, and can you throw my scales over the White Sea as far as you can touch?

Lord Ye Ke, it is my honor to meet you, what I thought was out of reach, when I saw you, I knew that it was no longer far away. In return, please accept these two small packets of scale powder, one is a bag of trouble for you to help me sprinkle in the sky of the White Sea, and the other is a gift for you, the scale powder of the hundred illusion butterfly has the power to purify the dirt, I hope it can help you one day. If you have the power to heal me, you will be able to heal more living beings. Thank you, Lord Yeke, I must go back to the sky to purify the Black Sea with you, there is an unsettling force at the bottom of the sea, the monsters in the sea have fled the sea, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, I hope you take care, as long as you are in the Black Sea in the future, if you call, I will respond. ”

When I woke up, both Guan Qing and Tsubaki looked at me worriedly.

"Are you alright?" suddenly passed out?" Tsubaki asked me.

"It felt like a sleep," I said, "and I had a long, long dream." ”

"This is what the butterfly left for you. Guan Qing had two dark blue paper bags in his hands, and when I got them in my hands, they were unexpectedly heavy.

I looked up at the sky of this illusory sea again, the sky in my dream was even more dazzling than it is now, what did the youkai called Shio want to tell me?

You Zhen had returned to the sea, and when she was leaving, she told Guan Qing that it was the pollution of the sea that caused the danger. It was already midnight when he returned to the house, Guan Qing sat in front of the window and habitually took out a cigarette, glanced at it and put it back.

I tossed and turned that night, didn't fall asleep all night, repeating Xi's words over and over again in my mind.

The gathering of souls, the power of purification, the commotion of the seabed, the fleeing yokai.

Seeing that it was dawn, I still didn't fall asleep, so I just sat up, went to the study to find a pen and paper and began to draw.

"Woke up so early?" An hour later, Guan Qing walked out of his bedroom, looking into his eyes, it was estimated that he was not resting well.

"Well, I can't sleep, but it's more comfortable to wake up. I finished the last stroke, "Here, promise your painting, I didn't expect your study to have such a complete set of tools, so I used it without permission." "The picture shows a watercolor depiction of the Phantom Sea, the sky of the Phantom Sea, and the butterfly called the Tide.

Guan Qing took it and looked at it for a long time, "I'll just casually say that you are still serious, then I will accept it, if there is a monster who knows that I have your masterpiece here, will it be bought at a high price." ”

"No, you should die, youkai are not interested in this. "I disavowed him outright.

"You still don't have any sense of humor. He found a picture frame and put the painting in, "But Ye Ke, the sky I see is really different from what you see." ”

"Huh?"

"The sky I saw was just a little more beautiful than the sunset, without these flowing lights, without the shimmering gold dust, and without such layers of color. He said, "Yesterday when the butterfly was leaving, you will find the answer in your dreams, will you find it?"

"Answer?what's the answer?" Sure enough, I ignored something, what was hidden in that dream, what was there that it couldn't say directly?

"You don't know?" Guan Qing said helplessly, "It just said that, I thought you knew." ”

"Guan Qing, you show me that painting again. "That painting was drawn by me recalling the illusory sea in my dreams, and I want to take a closer look at what I have overlooked.

"Eh, why are you so serious all of a sudden," Guan Qing was slightly stunned and handed it to me, "Here, what do you remember?"

"Not yet, but I always feel like I've overlooked something important. "I looked at the painting centimeter by centimeter and felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell.

"Knock knock. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Guan Qing and I glanced at each other.

"Do you have any guests here?" I whispered.

"No, no one knows about this place except for my own family. Guan Qing also lowered his voice and said, "It can't be that the monster came here to write to you, right?"

"No, there aren't many youkai who know I'm coming to the Black Sea. "I said that, but my intuition told me that this knock on the door might really have something to do with me.

"I'll take a look. Guan Qing whispered, "You just stay in the study and don't go out, in case I look for you, I'll say you're not there." ”

I nodded, watched Guan Qing walk out the door, and continued to study the painting in my hand.

"Yo, that's a good drawing. After a while, a dangerous voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Looks like we're going to have to talk, Yek." ”
