In the restaurant, four cups of tea, three people, and a demon, except for Zhao Shuihe, who was deeply afraid of Wu Demon, all of us sat together and looked at each other coldly.

The smell of the Cold War was in the air.

Wu Demon Lao sat down, first looked at the layout around my hotel, and said to Zhao Haipeng with some admiration: "The surname is Zhao, I have to say that I underestimate you." The sword spirit of the Hui family can be invited by you, and it can also be tamed by you to win, turning a corpse collection place into a prosperous shop, which is very powerful. ”

In the face of Wu Youlao's praise, Zhao Haipeng still had a silent expression.

After the demon elder finished speaking, he opened the door and said: "You are not here to praise me, why not just say it, we still have to do business." ”

"Okay!" Wu Demon Lao put on a cunning look and said to us: "Since this is the case, I won't hide it, let's just say it, I don't want to play that three-year bet with you, let's break up, how about it?"

After Wu Demon Lao said this, I thought I had heard it wrong at first, but after seeing Zhao Haipeng and Zhao Shuihe's reactions, I was sure that I had heard it correctly.

Zhao Shuihe, the little girl who was involved for no reason, was naturally the happiest when she heard that Wu Demon was going to let her go.

With apprehension and irrepressible excitement, she confirmed to Old Man Wu: "Demon ...... Uncle, are you willing to just let us go?"

"Original meaning...... That's impossible, hehe. After the Wu Demon Boss gasped in reply, he fixed his gaze on the stairs leading to the basement.

I looked at the old man's bright eyes, and suddenly I felt that he was calculating us.

Sure enough, at the next moment, Old Man Wu changed his words again and said to us: "It's easy to let you go, but it's ...... Yours give me something. ”

Wu Demon said it before, and Zhao Haipeng immediately responded: "Have you taken a fancy to the Hui family's ancestral kitchen knife and want us to hand it over to you?"

"That's right! is worthy of Zhao Buzhun's descendant, smart and ruthless. The old man clapped his hands and said: "Since we have picked out the words clearly, then I won't go around the bend, I am interested in the kitchen knife in your hand, the knife is given to me, let's both clear, everyone live well, cherish life, play happily, how happy?"

The old goblin's words made me suddenly realize.

Sure enough, it can't be early, it seems that he has already been eyeing the kitchen knife of the Hui family, otherwise it would be impossible to jump out and ask us at this juncture.

At the same time, I am also puzzled, he is a goblin, it is estimated that he can live for hundreds of years without eating, what does he need to do with a knife, shave?

I was puzzled, so I naturally wanted to ask, so I said: "What are you going to do with the kitchen knife? Besides, we borrowed the knife from the Hui family, and we have to return it after three years, so we can't be the master!"

"I don't need your knife!" Wu Demon Lao added to me: "If you are embarrassed, just give me the little ghost in the knife, I am not interested in the knife, you can handle it with the same." ”

"Let me give you the sword spirit?" I repeated.

Wu Demon Elder nodded, and said further to us: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I'm going to cross the tribulation recently, and with that little ghost as nourishment, it will be much easier for me to cross the tribulation." It's useless for you to keep him, isn't it worth it to sell it to me in exchange for your own life?"

After Wu Demon Lao said this, everyone did not blindly affirm or deny, and everyone turned their attention to me for decision-making, giving me this master of the sword spirit.

They're watching my statement.

To be honest, this is a good deal, and if we give the bamboo poem to this goblin, we can easily exchange our lives, but when I think of giving this little guy with a miserable background and just establishing a stable spiritual relationship to an old goblin, I always feel that something is wrong in my heart.

Do I have feelings for her? Probably not, after all, I've been with that little knife spirit for no more than a month, and I haven't even seen her face.

But I don't know why, I always feel that I can't treat this little ghost as an ordinary little ghost, or a tool, but what is the reason, I can't say it, I can't remember.

Later, I first asked Wu Demon Lao: "Demon Lao, you and I have a thorough understanding, if you get the sword spirit, what will happen to her?"

"How about a ghost?" the demon elder said frankly: "I just ate it, I'm not like you guys from the Five Organs Temple, who like to raise ghosts for use and violate the king's law." ”

"Eat, that's death?" I exclaimed.

"You can't say that!" the demon elder corrected me, "She has already died once, how can she die again......?" Soul Scattered,"

"Isn't that miserable?" I was stunned and angry.

"Oh, don't be so dogmatic!" Wu Demon Lao saw that I had the intention of disobeying, and hurriedly "enlightened" me: "If you don't give her to me, you will die worse than her." Brother Huo, think about it carefully, just your broken restaurant, you only earn more than 10,000 yuan in half a month, how many cents can you earn in three years? Not to mention the possible accidents, evil spirits, being pitted, etc., isn't the demon a lesson a few days ago......

After that, the demon elder told me a lot of big truths and soft and hard words, and I listened to them in my ears, but they all meant the same thing.

He wants to eat and squeeze that little thing as the nutrients for his "crossing", and let that little ghost "die" for him.

What Wu Demon said became more and more angry, but I heard it more and more clearly in my heart.

Under the appearance of the demon old man's vanity and delusion, he is actually another "time demon" who abducts children, but this time he has changed from a beauty to a cat demon, and the child has become a ghost girl.

After listening to Wu Demon Lao's words of spitting Xingzi Heng, I laughed, and then recalled the various pains of Dao Lingzhu Shi's death, and recalled the deep knife edge on her back with a wide finger, for a long time.

Eventually, I made my choice.

Without hesitation, I said to the demon elder, "Sword Spirit, I can't give it to you. ”

"What?" the big-headed old goblin said in astonishment, "Boy, have you figured it out! Can you take the lives of the three of you to protect a goblin?"

"No, but...... I have personally felt the pain of the death of the sword spirit. I can't forget that feeling......"

As I spoke, I remembered the way the child looked when he was sobbing.

In all fairness, I am not a person who sticks to principles like Zhao Haipeng, but that doesn't mean I have no bottom line. I love money and life, but I also love reason. This sword spirit died a tragic death, and it helped me block the resentment of the underground corpse collection ground, which was already very right for me.

Even though she is my spirit and my follower, I can't be like those "time demons" who don't have a little conscience and completely use her as a tool, let alone watch her become someone else's nourishment.

So, I said categorically to Wu Demon Lao: "If you don't give it, you don't give it, as for the reason, I'll think of a ...... for you."
