Section 2: Bone Butterfly Ligill
But then, she walked past Kirin without squinting, without even rolling her eyes, as if Kirin didn't exist. She walked up to Runa, looked up at the red lion, and in her eyes was a little girl's innocent doubt, and she said in an innocent and crisp voice, "Why is it here?
Her tiny body stood in front of the huge fiery red lion, looking at it innocently with open eyes: "Do you want to die?" Her voice was weak and calm, as if asking someone if they had breakfast.
Under the gaze of her gaze, as if she had seen a monster, she retreated more and more, and the violent arrogance that had been flying before disappeared without a trace, trembling like a frightened dog. Runa stood up and waved her hand, and the Red Sun collapsed into a cloud of red smoke and disappeared into the air.
The little girl tilted her head, slowly walked to a chair in a corner, then turned around and sat down on the chair, her legs retracted, her knees hugged, and her whole body was slightly sunk in the space of the chair's armrests. She held her round little face, and swept her gaze over the faces of the people in the room with her big smart eyes, as if she were looking at a group of dead people.
Runa suppressed the fear in her heart, stood up, and said to the little girl, "If you also come to grab the [Ice Raccoon Dog] with us, then I admit defeat and I quit." ”
The little girl frowned seriously, she shook her head gently, and said in a faint voice that seemed to be transmitted from a distant space, "No, I'm not here to grab the [Ice Raccoon Dog] with you. With that, she turned her gaze to the window, which was already pitch black, and the huge bloody remnant sun that had been a moment earlier had completely sunk below the horizon, and the cold night had now densely covered every inch of the town's ground. All that remains of Fukuzawa is the sporadic lights shining through the windows of the houses.
The little girl held her cheeks, paused for a while, and then said softly, "I'm here to grab the [Ice Raccoon Dog] with them." ”
Next to him, Toka snorted in his nose and said, "Who are they?"
The little girl turned her gaze back from the window and looked at Toca with a look of impatience on her face. She looked at Toca with a vacant gaze and said, "They, that's them." Then he paused and said, "They're not you." After saying that, he turned his head back and stared at the end of the road outside the door, motionless. "I don't like it when you ask me questions, I just said it, I don't like noisy places. ”
Toka sat motionless at the table, as if he didn't know how to answer the little girl's question.
Qi Ling, who was just standing closer to Toka, had already bent down and couldn't help but vomit.
From the ground under Toka's two feet, I don't know when, several sharp and sharp ice crystals grew, like crazy vines, piercing through the soles of his feet, along the inside of Toka's body, all the way up from the calves and thighs, and finally from the chest densely pierced, contained in the air, as if a huge white sea urchin had exploded from his chest. Countless crystal-sharp ice blades decorated his corpse like a sculpture. His internal organs and intestines, bloody and scalding, hung on these silvery-white ice crystals, bubbling white gas.
The fear of death hung over the head, and the cold wind of the winter night swept in through the windows with scattered ice chips. The rising cold breath swirled in the lobby of the post station. Runa stood up and looked at the little girl with a face full of fear, "...... Who the hell are you?"
The little girl didn't look at Runa, but hugged her knees, raised her head and looked at the ceiling from somewhere, her gaze was scattered, as if she had no focus, as if she could see through the roof directly into the darkening and oppressive sky outside.
"You don't even know me......" The little girl lowered her gaze, her expression looking a little regretful.
"She's ...... Bone Butterfly Ligil......" Kins squeezed the words out of his trembling throat, hoarsely.
"Huh?...... Do you know me?" Ligill looked at Kings faintly, and suddenly smiled softly, his face like a flower hidden in the mist, "Or ...... Do you see it?"
The little girl curled up in a dimly lit corner chair, but she was shrouded in a faint green light that came from nowhere. At this time, in the corner of the lobby behind her, a ...... faintly appeared A creature that doesn't know how to describe it. It looks like a giant butterfly, but it's not a butterfly at all. It was so large that it could only twist its body into the corner behind Ligill, and it almost broke the entire roof. Its body was covered with fine, smooth scales, each one shimmering with a green glow, and the brackets that made up its wings were all white bones one by one, and the wings connected to these white bones were a layer of flesh, which looked disgustingly soft and sticky. The edge of the monster's wings was covered with wet whiskers like tentacles of an octopus, and it was wriggling in a mess. The whole huge, eerie bone butterfly actually looked more like a slimy colorful bat, twisted and motionless behind Ligier.
"It looks so beautiful, doesn't it......" A slimy earthworm-like thing hung down from the roof, and Ligil reached out and stroked a slimy tentacle hanging down from the [Bone Butterfly], and if you look closely, you will find that there is a half-closed naked eye at the top of the tentacle.
Kings and Runa jerked to their feet and flipped their chairs. They hurried out of the inn.
No one wants to fight for anything with such a monster.
Qi Ling shrank in the corner of the station, he wanted to run, but the whole person from the scalp to the toes, was paralyzed, he looked at the little girl in front of him who was still empty-eyed, and then looked at Jinsi and Runa who had just left the post station in a hurry, he was completely frightened, not to mention the pile of things in the corner of the lobby that I don't know what it was.
If he was full of yearning for the soul power world before, the current Qi Ling just wants to escape from this nightmare as soon as possible.
Ligil turned her head at this time and looked at Kirin, "I'm hungry." The [Bone Butterfly] behind her suddenly turned into a thick green pulp with a "whoosh", gurgling down the wall and flowing along the ground, the liquid climbing up the back of the chair like a living thing, and flowing down Ligier's back into her body. "Go find me something to eat. ”
Qi Ling nodded, his upper and lower teeth trembling with fear. He nodded as he stumbled toward the backyard.
"Hey. Kirin was about to step out the back door when Ligil stopped him, "You'd better hurry, and if you dare to escape...... You should know that you won't be able to outrun it, but it can fly. Hee-hee. Ligil let out a short laugh that sounded creepy.
After Kirin walked out of the lobby, Ligil turned around and stared at the door of the inn, "Oops, they're finally here." Why are Kings and Runa running away, like I'm some horrible monster. Don't they know that if they run out, they will really meet a group of monsters......" Her girl's face was covered with a faint layer of sadness, as if she really felt sorry for the two of them.
The dark clouds in the sky were blown open by the wind, and the moonlight shone down from the sky on the avenue outside the post station, and at the fork of the avenue two hundred meters away from the post station, the bodies of Kings and Runa were now crossed. The bright moonlight cast a thin layer of frost over their corpses.
A quarter of an hour ago, there was only one person left in the lobby of the inn, but now, it suddenly became lively again, and with the addition of Ligil and Kirin, there were ten people in total.
The eight newcomers were all dressed in light silver robes of similar style, neat and noble. The men all wore headdresses that were prominent at first glance, and a slender ancient silver sword pinned to their waists. The women were dressed in gauze skirts that flowed like snow and mist, and those gauze skirts swayed with their gestures, and the smoke generally floated on them without wind, gently rippling like a slowly changing mist.
The eight of them sat at three tables in the lobby, and in the corner, Ligil was still curled up in a chair, her face still lazy, as if she was out of her body with her cloudy eyes.
Two distinctly different auras permeated the lobby.
"Why do you members of the God Clan want to join in this fun?" Ligil looked at the eight white-clothed people on the other side and said coldly, "How many of your soul beasts are not enough? ”
The eight people in the lobby looked at Ligil, although they didn't show a look of fear, but they still looked a little jealous, especially the two younger teenagers, whose expressions were a little stiff.
A thirty-year-old man sitting in the middle of the eight people, who looked like the leader of these people, said in a low voice while drinking the tea poured by Qi Ling for them: "There are not many people who have the ability to devour [Ice Raccoon Dog], therefore, our Divine Clan will naturally come, and [Ice Raccoon Dog] is a high-grade water attribute soul beast, which does not appear often, of course our family is willing to have a few more such high-grade soul beasts." He put down his teacup and looked at Ligil, "But you and your slimy monster haven't been presumptuous enough in the imperial capital of Grant." You come to a town like Fuze and join in the fun. ”
"Oops, oops...... Ligil put her feet down and stretched, "Like you said, I'm so presumptuous in the imperial capital of Grant, and I'm going to turn the world upside down in a town like this." ”
She stood up slowly, gently swaying her body from side to side, her hands and ankles jingling, "It's just that there are so many people here at once, I have to rob you alone, it may be a little difficult......" She used a strange movement, stretching her body that had just been stiffened by sitting for too long, and her petite body made a series of terrifying "click" sounds, which sounded like the bones in her body had been broken several times," You said that you, the famous God Family, so many people came, and a little girl robbed the soul beast, do you want to be ashamed......"
"Little girl, you should be an old girl, right......" A young boy sneered quietly among the men in white.
Ligil's face suddenly turned cold, she raised her hand and pointed her finger at the young boy, "Do you like your tongue?"
The young boy didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
Suddenly two nimble ice cubes hung down from the roof, hard and sharp, but as flexible and soft as a snake, and the two ice cubes hung down slowly, aiming at the young man's mouth, like a cobra ready to attack.
Ligier: "If you don't want to run out of tongues, shut up." Otherwise, if you say one more word, I will tear out your tongue and eat it in front of you. ”
The young boy gritted his teeth and endured it for a long time, but he still didn't dare to say a word. His face was pale, and he was obviously greatly insulted, but he did not dare to joke with his life, so he swallowed his saliva and gritted his teeth.
Ligil's face softened again, as if a spring breeze was blowing. Two ice cubes dissipated into the air like smoke.
The middle-aged man turned around and reprimanded the boy in a low and stern voice: "Don't cause trouble. ”
Ligil sat back in her chair, her gaze hollow again.
Kirin had brought food to Ligill and poured tea for the new guests, and was ready to leave. To be honest, no matter how curious he was about these mysterious soul magicians from the imperial capital, he didn't want to stay for a second after watching so many people die one after another.
Just as he was about to slip away from the back door with the teapot, he tripped under his feet and lost his center of gravity and fell forward.
He had already closed his eyes and was about to smash on the ground, but suddenly there was a soft touch, as if he had fallen on a soft bed.
Kirin opened his eyes, and in front of him was a face that was so beautiful that it made people feel like a goddess. He looked down and saw himself slumped against a silver-white web, white spider-like threads crisscrossing the air, carrying the teapot, the cup, and himself.
Kirin quickly struggled to her feet, and then heard the girl who had just looked at her say to herself, "Are you okay?"
"I ...... It's okay. Qi Ling's face quickly became hot, and he looked at the girl in front of him who was about the same age as himself, the pale golden flowing gauze clothes, revealing the slender white shoulders, the black hair was gently draped behind his head like flowing lustrous black ink, and the two neat tufts of hair on the sideburns were tied up by two delicate hair accessories. Her eyes were round and jet-black, and her long eyelashes were like mist, which made her eyebrows extremely moist. Her face was small and delicate, her skin was as white and smooth as soft snow, and her whole person looked faintly shining.
It's so pretty. Qi Ling thought to himself.
