In the year 425 of the solar calendar, night.

Burning torches engulfed the endless darkness. People gathered on the banks of the Chaosong Canal on both sides, and the flames made the flowing water shine as brightly as if it had been ignited.

I stood on the edge of the fence and listened to the old spiritual songs with everyone.

"Send the creatures of darkness back to the abyss and protect the last dignity of humanity......

Watch as the boats come from afar, heading towards the altar.

People's eyes move with the ship. On each boat stood officers and men in armor, as well as creatures in yellowed cloaks and shackles. The huge cloak and hat covered the upper part of their faces, and even if only the graceful curve of their chin was exposed, it reminded people of what a beautiful face they were. It's a sight like this that can only be seen tonight every 10 years.

The wind blew, I squinted, and the hat of one of the creatures on the ship was blown off. 8 or 9 years old, milky blonde hair, dirty but delicate face that people can't ignore, young but showing how gorgeous the future will be, helpless but determined eyes, the dust and scars on the face can't hide the light emanating from those green eyes.

"What a beautiful man. "I was stunned. Suddenly, a pair of hands covered my mouth, and I turned my head to look at my mother suspiciously, but my mother looked at me with a solemn expression and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, that's 'breaking the demon'." ”

The boat stopped in front of the altar in the middle of the water, and the memorial service began.

The priest pronounced a sacred declaration, and the people at the water's edge shouted, "Break the demons!" ”

I looked at the blonde girl in confusion, she suddenly moved, tried to break free and struggled and roared, "We are human!!。 The girl was then knocked unconscious and taken to the cabin, and the memorial continued.

I heard the laughter of the people, and my mother blindfolded me. Why, it shines like an angel. That year, I was 4 years old.

———————— time dividing line—————————— "Dongfang Xiao, you come to read the first paragraph." The teacher's voice brought me back from my stupor.

"Oh. I quickly stood up and opened the book, "In 2013 A.D., the world was hit by a nuclear catastrophe, and the entire earth was thrown into chaos. Since then, the surviving people have built a new living environment on the ruins, called 'tribes'. Since then, people have adopted a new chronological method, the 'Celestial Calendar', to calculate the date...... In addition, in the midst of the nuclear apocalypse, a new creature was created called "Demon Breaker". Dressed in a human coat, with seductive skins and blond hair, the demons are singing in a dangerous way, and their voices are harsh and harsh, affecting people's minds. Later, humans defeated the demons with wisdom and great strength, allowing them to survive under human control ....... ”

I was called by my teacher and stayed at school until late to leave, and I went home alone along the Chaosong Canal. Today I was in a daze again. Since I saw that beautiful face ten years ago, I remember it every time I am in a daze, and I can never forget it. Break the demons, I muttered to myself.

"Ahem, ahem. "The movement ahead caught my attention. Someone climbed up from the water and fell to the edge of the river.

I ran in to check. Milk-blonde hair, and a wrist ring on his wrist that symbolizes that the Broken Demon can never remove. I'm going to step back, what to do, do I go tell the Authority, or do I run away when I don't see it?

Suddenly, the broken demon raised his head, the vigilant green eyes, the familiar face, fell off the immaturity of 10 years ago, and became more and more delicate and beautiful. When I was overwhelmed, the demon breaker fell again due to weakness.

What to do......

By the time I came to my senses, I had already brought the girl home. What am I doing, this is a crime......

The girl woke up and looked directly at me, still wary, and I thought she might attack if I didn't say anything.

"Well, I saw you fall by the river......" I didn't know what to say, "don't worry, it's safe in my room...... My parents were not there, so I went to prepare for the memorial service...... I'm not going to tell people that you're still weak...... That, I met you 10 years ago...... So...... "I don't know what I'm talking about anymore."

"You took care of my wounds. ”

"Huh?" I realized it was a girl talking to me, "yes." My father is a doctor, so if I have a medical kit at home, so will I. ”

"How did you bring me. ”

"Well, you're light...... And then my home is close...... You don't have to worry, no one will see it. ”

The girl stopped talking, "That, my name is Dongfang Xiao." ”

"Ellie. The girl closed her eyes again and fell asleep.

Ellie?her name. Why is it so reassuring to me, I feel a little strange but very happy. I looked at Ellie's sleeping face and thought silently.

"How long are you going to see. "Ellie wasn't asleep. I smiled embarrassedly, "You're not afraid that I'm going to snitch......"

"I saw you 10 years ago, you who grew up with little pudding. Ellie looked at the ceiling.

I remembered that at the memorial 10 years ago, there seemed to be a moment when Ellie looked in my direction, and it turned out that she saw me and remembered me. My face seemed to turn red. "You weren't a little pudding ...... back then. "I suddenly realized that the physiology of the demon breaker is a little different from ours, the appearance of a child may be in his teens and twenties, and the age of eighty or ninety may still be the appearance of a young man, but few demons can live to that time.

"Why did you save me, aren't you afraid? ”

"Because I saw you ten years ago. ”

I saw the corners of Ellie's mouth go up slightly.

"It's good for us to eat roasted potatoes today. "I rushed home as soon as I got out of school. Ellie was reading a book when he heard a voice and looked up and smiled at me, "Okay." ”

Today is the third day that Ellie has come to my house. I put down my things and went into the kitchen to cook.

Ellie put down his book and leaned against the edge of the kitchen.

"What's wrong?"

"I remembered the way you cooked porridge for me on the first day, and cautiously asked me if it was hot and how it tasted. ”

"I'm not very good at taking care of patients. "I'm a little embarrassed.

"I'll help you. With that, Ellie walked into the kitchen.

"Hey, no, your wound isn't healed yet, go and rest. ”

"It's almost too good to be true. ”

I didn't speak again, and Arlie said that she was healed, did that mean she was leaving. I don't want to face this problem. That's it, if only we could go on like this.

"Ellie. After dinner, Ellie and I stayed in my room and read, "Sing me a song." ”

Ellie was stunned, "The song of the Demon Breaker is ugly and dangerous, what are you thinking about?" ”

"No, even though the adults say that, I don't believe it. I looked at Ellie seriously, "When I was a child, my grandmother told me that she had a friend who broke the demon when she was young, and she heard the song of the broken demon, and it was very beautiful, and I used to only tell me stories as a grandmother, but now I believe in her, aren't we friends, Ellie." ”

"It's late, Xiao, let's wash and sleep. ”

I knew that Ellie was changing the subject, but he didn't ask any further. We didn't say a word until Ellie lay down next to me.
