"Well, it's uncomfortable. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The sleep time is broken, and the consciousness suddenly awakens.

Thirst...... The throat seemed to be burning with a fireball, so it was impossible to fall asleep even if he lay motionless on the bed and closed his eyes, Qin En had no choice but to slowly get up from the uncomfortable bed, and then went to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water in the dark.

The floor creaked as if it would collapse at any moment, and at this time, except for the moon in the sky, Qin En could not find any light.

He usually lights up at night, especially when other people's homes don't turn on the lights and immeasurable light, and he doesn't bother to light the lamp, which is not good for eyesight in the first place, and lighting the lamp in the quiet night of Gensokyo is easy to become a target.

As a result, the room was a little too dark, and it seemed as if something was going to appear in the corner in the next second. But this kind of gloomy room can only be used to by Qin En, after coming to Gensokyo, Qin En found that he was not very afraid of ghosts, resentful spirits, ghosts, and other things.

This kind of credit mainly comes from Kazami Yuka, even that powerful and terrifying monster can get along with her, so what can be counted as a resentful spirit that may exist in the room?

It's weak, isn't it?

The warm water that had not yet cooled down moistened his throat and tongue, and this feeling of thirst had already been relieved, and the room that was a little eerie and ghostly in the eyes of others made Qin En feel calm.

Although the floor creaked constantly, if someone suddenly broke in, he could hear it clearly even in the room, which was a kind of free doorbell.

This kind of free doorbell Qin En doesn't plan to change, and the fence in Gensokyo can only stop some people who want to break in casually, and it has no effect on thieves and demons at all, and he doesn't have any special expectations for it. Anyway, he doesn't put anything valuable on his body in the house, he keeps it with him...... The wages that Youxiang gave herself can be stored with her, that local tyrant monster will never do such a despicable thing as swallowing employees' wages, Qin En trusts her very much.

Most of the time, the money in my hands is to change some furniture and household utensils, and at most buy some daily consumables such as pesticides, even thieves will not steal things.

"It's so peaceful...... Night in Gensokyo. ”

Carrying a warm pot to his room, looking at the night scene inside and outside the world through the window, Qin En sighed a few words, and then lay on the same creaking bed, looking at the ceiling in a daze.

I heard that there is a night market belonging to youkai in Renzhili, but unfortunately, because Qin En was in the concern of his own safety, he did not choose that lively area, but bought this ownerless house away from the hustle and bustle, and bought furniture for himself.

I paid some deposits and bought the property from the garrison of Renzhili...... In addition, I also added some things I wanted, such as a modern toilet system and air conditioning system that were specially installed by workers...... Life in Renzhili is not as backward as it seems, and even Qin En can go to someone to buy electricity and network cables, but the price in Gensokkyo is a little too high, even with Qin En's salary, he can't buy a set for himself, just casually get one or two wires for cooking and refrigerator configuration, and stir-fry is solved by gas.

Speaking of which, Qin En finds it very interesting that the structure of the people in Gensokyo is the security team of the Gensokyo people - full name: Gensokyo people's self-protection garrison, referred to as the Renzhili self-police team or the Renzhili garrison, and the members can be called guards or guards...... Although the name seems to be a simple non-governmental organization, in fact, the identity of the chief captain of the highest position of the garrison in the world represents: the village head, the head of the police station, the president of the court, the president of the peasant association, the chairman of the women's federation, and so on.

There are many conditions for being elected: high combat effectiveness and high prestige...... This is the most common reason for being elected, or you should be a good gentleman who is known for your diplomatic skills and the least good of all. It's just that this captaincy is not under the jurisdiction of the Zensokyo Sage and the Hirori Shrine Maiden, and although people are sure to look for you if something happens, they don't care how you were chosen. The other captains of the garrison share his responsibilities, and are responsible for maintaining the relationship between the human and the yokai throughout the process. Although it is said that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, as long as he controls the regular army other than the family of the large squire (the so-called regularity can only be expanded within the people in an open and honest manner), he can also be re-elected......

However, this is not the case.

If the person who is the captain is a tyrant who wants to be the emperor of the land with one hand, the squire and the people who support you will kill you as soon as possible, even if you have strong force.

This is a taboo, if you don't do practical things, if you want to enjoy the benefits of that power, the whole person will kill you in a red eye, assassinate and trap to frame and collude with monsters...... Unscrupulous. So most of the people who hold this position are capable people - if you do well, you use your privilege for your own benefit and no one will say anything, but if you are incompetent and want to rely on this right to enrich yourself, then I'm sorry, you have to die.

But that's only in the past, just like this utopian theory: it existed only when the theory was first established, and now it has long since deteriorated

At present, most of the positions of the chief captain of the garrison are held by some incompetent people.

Because everyone soon found out that if they offended the youkai, the first person to be questioned must be the captain...... Even if this is not the identity set up by the monster sage, if something happens, the captain must explain it...... This so-called confession is nothing more than suicide and seppuku......

Slowly, capable people became scared and didn't dare to take up this position, and then everyone understood the principle of supporting puppets. Attract some nice guys with some perks...... Since capable people dare not be, and incompetent people are afraid of death, then open up some benefits for you to make money and information channels, and don't make angry people and resentment at your disposal. I don't ask you how good you are, at least you don't get into trouble.

Therefore, most of the people who are selected are just the kind of masters who are with the mud, because whoever takes this position will become the target of the monsters' diplomacy, and if you provoke the monsters, the masses will cook you before the monsters get angry, just a diplomatic target and a bag of anger. When Qin En bought a house, he was looking for them, in addition to the positions mentioned above, the garrison also has part-time jobs as real estate developers, construction businessmen, and intermediaries.

............ Of course, even if it's just a symbolic existence, it's not something that Qin En can see casually, just find a very ordinary team member and solve it.

Thinking of these strange thoughts that had nothing to do with him, Qin En also felt tired unconsciously, and was about to turn over to sleep, but heard an unusually dull voice.

"Who is it!?"

――............ Deathly silence.

No, Qin En was sure that he had heard it correctly just now, and there was a voice of a second person in the room where there was only him.

Could it be that he was in a daze? Did he simply hear it wrong? Qin En slowly lay down on the bed when he found that there was no sound...... The room was silent, without any human voices or breaths.

Qin En silently closed his eyes, motionless, and his breath gradually became even.

Syllable!

Then, Qin En heard something heavy falling on the creaky floor, Qin En opened his eyes violently, but did not make any sound, but slowly picked up the machete placed under the pillow-

It had been prepared for a long time, and since he heard the common sense of Gensokyo from Kazami Yuka, he had not lifted his vigilance, and Qin En, who had been more than once, thought about what to do if he encountered danger in the room, so he ...... This machete is normal under the pillow.

This is not a casual watermelon knife, this is a real machete bought to cut objects, with serrated teeth on it, as long as you pull it, you can separate the skin and flesh from the bones, and Qin En once used this machete to cut a piece of pork with bones.

It was a little uncomfortable to pill on the knife, but once this abnormality occurred, it seemed extraordinarily reliable, Qin En sat up from the bed silently, then picked up the machete, carefully did not step on the floor where there was a sound, and slowly leaned towards the place where there was abnormal movement.

There was a click, a click, and a sound, and when he got closer, Qin En heard the sound of bricks moving.

Crunch!

Qin En was very careful, but he still made a sound, and at this moment, the other party seemed to feel something, and there was no movement.

Finding that the sneaking failed and no longer concealed it, Qin Enfei ran to the place where the sound came from, and saw a falling brick in a corner that was blocked by cement and seemed to have been sealed with something.

And there was a black hole where the brick fell, which was where the brick was originally blocked, and there were also a few bricks near it that were crumbling, and there was an occasional clicking and rubbing sound when Qin En approached. It's no coincidence that no matter how you think about it, looking at the black hole from a distance that seems to be connected to some sealed area, Qin En didn't stupidly go to take a lamp to see, only at this time to suppress curiosity is the right way, and Qin En was on guard throughout the whole process, looking at the hole carefully.

He didn't speak, he didn't do anything, he just stood there and watched, and felt the aura around him with vigilance, deliberately standing near the squeaky plank, so that anyone could spot it at any time when they came close.

The design of this room also came to his mind at this time, it seemed that that the room had not been entered by Qin En, and there was no passage to the outside to connect to that room. If you really want to say something suspicious, it seems that something has been blocked here...... There were obvious signs of cement and the back of the head on this floor, which looked out of place with the surrounding planks: I didn't think much about it when I bought the house, but it was a little suspicious at this time

"Hey, is there anyone in there?"

Qin En tentatively looked out the window at the same time...... Qin En found that it was pitch black outside, and the moon had no way to see the situation here, although he didn't know why there was some faint red mist floating in the human world at this time, but his attention was on the current weirdness, this red mist that began to spread into the human body from zero point He didn't have time to care, anyway, it didn't look obvious.

"Help, Help, Save ......"

After a long time, a faint voice came from inside.

Qin En was stunned, he was just tempting to be suspicious, and asked with the idea that he wouldn't lose anything if he made more preparations anyway, but he really responded.

It was a man's voice, very tired, very hoarse.

"Who are you!"

Qin En was no longer holding the bright machete, he secretly placed it in an inconspicuous corner, and then picked up the large hammer that was placed aside, and asked.

"I—I don't know......" was a faint voice.

"When I woke up, I found myself buried in the wall......! It took me a long time to push the brick away...... Please, help me, I haven't eaten for a long time. ”

Qin En was stunned, could it be that the former owner of this house was some kind of murderer, and then just when Qin En came to hand over, this person also happened not to die? Then this murderer is too incompetent, right?

"Can you eat bread? I have some bread here, and some water, or?"

That hole is just big enough to hold some food in there.

“.................. Trouble, trouble you, I need food and food urgently now. ”

After being silent for a long time, the voice pleaded, and Qin En followed the request, taking out the bread that had been put away, and then sending it to the front with a hook.

From the wall, a hand like black dead wood stretched out, grabbed the iron hook violently, and then pulled the bread in, so that it could not be released!

“............”

Qin En looked at the piece of meat hanging on the iron hook, looked at the fishy blood remaining on it, and did not speak. Listen quietly...... There seemed to be a chewing sound coming from the wall.

-- It's just fresh bread, and it's not long after I bought it and I'm going to eat it the next day, so the chewing sound is too much, isn't it? It shouldn't be a nasty sound when you open your mouth and smack your mouth, it's too high, right?

Kind of suspicious!

"Thank you, thank you, you...... I have some strength, although I am a little thirsty...... Can you let me out?"

"I can smash you open with a hammer, can you protect yourself?"

"Yes. ”

"Well, you're welcome. ”

The place where the cement and bricks were pasted was more fragile than expected, and after Qin En smashed out the size of a dog's hole, he said, "Come out, this size is enough, otherwise it will be too difficult for me to block this house." ”

The hammer was put aside by Qin En, and it wasn't until it was placed that the man slowly crawled out...... The first thing I saw was my dry hands, then my messy head, my dirty clothes, and my unhealthy pale skin. As if he was seriously ill, he struggled to crawl out.

"Thank you, thank you......" Qin En's long weedy hair made Qin En unable to see his eyes clearly, and after he saw Qin En with his bare hands, he kept bowing his head and thanking him.

"What the hell are you doing, and why are you stuck here?"

"I don't know...... After just a good night's sleep, I found myself here...... Ahem, can you give me something to eat again, I'm hungry and thirsty. ”

"Okay, I'll go get water and food. ”

Qin Enmali turned around and left, and went to the kitchen to open the cabinet where the food was stored, and began to take out some simple food, and he was lavish.

"Dude, you really scared me to death, and I thought the ghost had come out in the middle of the night. ”

"Hehehe, I'm sorry......"

"I've only been buying a house for a few days, and I'm going to destroy and rebuild it myself, which is really terrible. ”

"It's not easy for me here, I took a long time to pull out that brick, and I'm really causing you trouble. ”

"Hehehe, it's okay, saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter. ”

Qin En turned his back to it and said happily, then picked up the cup and asked casually, "By the way, brother, what are you going to drink, I have juice here." ”

"I'm going to drink your blood ――――――!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The atmosphere of good conversation was shattered in an instant by the words overflowing with murderous intent and appetite, and the dying person, who had been lying on the ground and staggering, burst out with speed and force unimaginable to ordinary adults, smashing the planks and jumping up from the air.

His hair-covered eyes were revealed, their frightening red pupils, which looked particularly eerie in an unlit room, and the two pairs of sharp canine teeth stood out from the fishy mouth, blood-sucking teeth that could easily bite the flesh of their prey.

But――――

Qin En's agile dodge dodged the attack, and the liquid in the quilt was directly splashed on the demon's face. As if dancing, he spun his body and picked up the hammer.

"Ben, home, hit, Ora!"

smashed him and the kitchen stove together, and the pots and pans that had been placed by Qin En immediately fell to the ground.

"Oh, even if he was hit in the head with a hammer, he didn't die......"

Qin En looked at the vampire who was struggling on it with his head covered, there was no doubt that he had smashed his skull just now, but ...... This is not dead, his vitality is simply too tenacious.

"Y-You see through it?"

"I've seen it through, stupid!"

Qin En picked up the hammer and looked at the vampire sneering at the vampire who was struggling there with his head covered.

Even if he wasn't dead, he couldn't get up for a while, he clutched his head in pain, the cup that had been placed on it was all disrupted, and the liquid soaked his hair, as if he had been fished out of the water.

Qin En twitched his nose, then showed a malicious smile, slowly moved to the middle of the living room, facing the window on the side, and said with a triumphant and arrogant expression: "I already knew that you were not human, why do you think I took the iron hook to hang the food? I am testing your pain, even if you are too hungry to do it, you will have some reaction when you are touched by the iron hook...... But--my iron hook ripped off your flesh, and not only did you not react and kept thanking you, but when you crawled out, your hands were not scarred, haha, I don't believe that any human can have such a strong recovery ability. ”

"It's just, it's just that?" the vampire looked at the man in front of him in disbelief, and asked with some hatred, "Aren't you afraid of guessing wrong?"

"This is not a hasty action...... Look at this, this brick~ and the thickness of this next room...... Normally, if it's a desperate and struggling human, he must have kicked the bricks frantically when he found himself trapped here, but what did I hear? It was a person stealing the bricks. Hmph, I checked before buying this house, the bricks are not loose at all, he was already glued tightly, so easily pushed away, how can it be human?"

Qin En swung his hammer again and pried open the wall inside, revealing a very, very small room without any ventilation holes...... No, maybe there were, but they were all blocked.

On the ground, there was bread thrown into the dust, and the vampire's mouth didn't even have crumbs of bread.

Looking at the vampire with a pale face, Qin En sneered: "How long can a human stay in such a small place? Damn! I would have suffocated a fart a long time ago! And you threw away all this bread! Don't you know that every grain is hard!? This is what Lao Tzu bought with his salary!"

"Monster! if you dare to hurt someone, you must be ready to die!"

Qin En carried the hammer and provoked.

"Damn it, it's you, ahh

The vampire swept away the painful appearance from before, and once again rushed towards Qin En, the speed was very fast, like a motorcycle...... However, in the face of this fierce monster, Qin En slowly took out a lighter-

"Today's dinner is, BBQ. ”

Boom ――――――

"Ahh

The vampire, just turned into a fire man in an instant, lit up the room.

"Stupid fellow, it looks like you've been here for a long time, and I didn't smell the oil on your face!

"I-I-I'm going to kill you—"

"There's still time for there, stupid vampire, I'm not going to be with you!"

Qin En held down the lighter, then threw the lighter in the direction of the kitchen, ignoring the burning man who rushed towards him, and directly smashed through the window and flew out, when the vampire was ignited and a flame formed in the room, he was ready to run.

In times of crisis, a person's potential will be magnified, and Qin En is like this, at a time when he should not be able to reflect it...... reflected, and escaped with amazing agility.

And in the next moment, the astonishing heat erupted behind him, and the kitchen, which had been smashed by the vampire, had already seeped out of the gas, and the closed windows had also formed a closed space, and the small talk that deliberately delayed time also achieved this condition.

This explosion and fire will definitely attract the attention of the human guards, Qin En frowned and pulled out the glass stuck in his arm, leaned against the wall, and looked at the vampire struggling in the fire with a sneer.

"Damn, hateful, hateful—!" the vampire cursed loudly.

didn't die, even if it was, he didn't die, but Qin En didn't feel disappointed, the appearance of the enemy's struggle before death was the most mellow wine, even if he ran out patiently and trembling with hatred, Qin En also sneered and took out the machete he drew before jumping out, the knife was bright, it couldn't be easier to deal with this kind of guy.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Killing Night.

"I'm not bloodthirsty, I'm not a battle maniac, I'm yearning for special abilities, but it's not for belligerent ......"

The character is like this, but in fact, Qin En has never been afraid of challenges - where this courage comes from Qin En does not understand, but he knows that this characteristic will give him an advantage.

The only pity is that this night is not very pure, and there is always some red mist that is not quite right, which is a little weird.

"Huh?"

But...... Now there is no need for Qin En to do anything at all, the hurried footsteps outside have already reflected what is going on, Qin En threw the knife aside, and then opened the door of his house, and the guards who were running wildly were stunned for a moment, and then came in without hesitation.

The vampire who was still cursing and struggling in pain, still with scarlet eyes under the envelope of flames, and Qin En, who was standing there covering his injured arm, it was clear who was the monster.

Although these trained people can't really deal with monsters outside, it is very simple to maintain law and order in the human world and deal with this kind of lonely existence, the monsters that were originally abolished by Qin En were easily extinguished by the flames on their bodies, and then regardless of the barbecue-like aroma, the guards took out an iron pillar and directly **** the vampire's body, and dozens of chains with light blue light controlled the vampire in one go...... When it was all done, everyone including Qin En breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that Qin En felt a little unworthy, looking at the vampire who was scorched black and constantly robbed of his strength...... Looking at the burning house again, Qin En felt as if he was homeless.

Therefore, it was a little ill-intentioned to look at the vampire...... But in addition to this, Qin En had another doubt in his heart, that is, why did this vampire appear in that place...... And why did you wake up at this time?

Isn't it weird that the vampire is buried here and no one has found it?

Qin En, who was taken away by the garrison for treatment, looked at the burning house, looked at the faint red mist that no one around him noticed, and remembered Fujiwara Meihong's warning to him in his mind.

What kind of mutation is this? But it doesn't make a vampire out of thin air, right?

There are many doubts.

Qin En sat on the ground with some detachment, lying on the lawn, letting those guards find a stretcher and put himself on it...... It's just exhausting, fighting with such a monster as a human being...... Even if it's not a frontal battle, it's exhausting. He is neither a special forces soldier nor a boxing champion on the underground black market...... He was just an ordinary man with no memories of the past, if it weren't for Fujiwara Meihong forcibly turning on some action switches for herself, Qin En wouldn't have been able to do such agile actions comparable to QTE.

"It's like a dream - a nightmare. ”

Looking at the night sky filled with a faint red mist, Qin En lay on a stretcher and fell asleep.
