Seeing that Nina was only excited and curious after a moment of shock and nervousness, Shirley really couldn't bear it

Zhu whispered: "You can't be described as bold anymore........."

Nina didn't hear Shirley muttering at all, her attention was completely drawn to the pitch-black bone hound in front of her, and after jumping out of her chair, she walked around the dog twice, looking up and down carefully—she was startled when she saw the dog's hollow, bloodshot eyes, but only startled.

"That's amazing......... she repeated, and even looked like she wanted to reach out and touch Dog's bony skull, but at the last second she withdrew her hand and looked up at Shirley instead, "This is the first time I've seen such a transcendent being with my own eyes............ What is a dog? Is it a creature summoned by a spell? Or · Afh4sfP

"It's a demon," Shirley replied frankly, as if to frighten Nina and make the other party a little aware of the danger of the dog, "the most dangerous and dangerous kind of demon." ’

Nina was really a little shocked, she probably didn't expect that this dog, who was very polite in addition to his ugly appearance, would have the name of "demon", and her face was full of incredulity: "It's ...... Demon?

"Strictly speaking, it's the Demon of the Nether," Ah Dog raised his head slightly, staring at Nina with empty eyes, "Miss, this may be the first time you have seen the Demon of the Nether, don't have a wrong impression of the Demon because of my presence, My compatriots are diverse, and what they have in common is that they are all extraordinarily murderous and ruthless......"

"Setered ......" Nina was stunned, she finally woke up from the novelty of seeing a transcendent being for the first time, and recalled what had been said in the book, "Shirley, you ......."

As you can see, I'm tied to the Shadow Demon, Shirley raised her arm and showed Nina the chains that fused with her body, "So I don't want people to know my secret, you know?" If the people of the Deep Sea Church had known, they would have not hesitated to throw me into the fire or into the endless sea. ”

Shirley's expression was particularly solemn, Nina realized something from the other party's solemn attitude, she glanced at Shirley with a slightly complicated expression, and then looked at Ah Gou: "......... I've seen in the book that the deep sea is filled with frenzied evil creatures, they are the remnants of the Dark Saint's body, and they are governed by the madness of chaos from birth to death, but Mr. Dog seems to be ...............

"A dog is special," Shirley said lightly, "a normal ghost has no heart and does not understand human feelings, but a dog does—although even it doesn't know why it has this change, but this change makes it impossible for it to survive in the deep sea." ”

Nina was stunned and nodded half-incomprehensibly: "Oh."

As she spoke, she fell into a brief silence, then suddenly scratched her hair and looked at Duncan with some distress: "Uncle, I feel like my mind is messed up.

She recalled her chaotic experience that day, recalled the process of getting along with Shirley, and looked at Ah in front of her

Dogs, a sense of absurdity detached from reality finally came up sluggishly.

"You've been through so much today," Duncan's gentle and quiet words came, like a candlelight lit in the dimness, making Nina's consciousness suddenly stabilize for some reason, "It's normal to have some confusion.

Nina blinked, finally realizing what she had been ignoring from the beginning, and she looked at Duncan steadily

"Uncle, then you already knew Shirley...... Do you know her secrets, too? Do you know a dog too?

"Earlier than you," Duncan smiled, "but I didn't know she was the 'friend' you call her."

"That

Nina hesitated, "Then are you also investigating what happened eleven years ago?" You're in one

Investigation?'

"Sort of, we've worked together once or twice by chance." Duncan nodded.

Why do I think you're just hiding it from me?" Nina was a little bit of an afterthought, and you investigated what happened eleven years ago...... Is there any secret to what happened eleven years ago?" "We don't know yet, but we all agree that there was a fire that was erased," Duncan muttered

His gaze fell on Nina, "I'm sorry, I'm really hiding it from you, because it's not what you can take right now."

The realm of touch is too dangerous. ”

"Uncle, what about you?" Nina Jing suddenly got a little angry, "Uncle, aren't you dangerous?!"

As soon as she said this, Duncan didn't say anything, Ah Dog and Shirley next to her covered their faces at the same time, and Shirley muttered quietly: "Of course your uncle is dangerous, your uncle is the most dangerous......

Duncan glanced at Shirley silently, and then shook his head lightly at Nina: "Uncle is an adult, and Uncle I, it's much more powerful than you think."

Nina's gaze kept sweeping between Duncan and Shirley, her expression changing several times, and she didn't know her head

There was a lot of confusion in his mind, but Duncan thought that the girl might be stubborn, or like Pu

When the adolescent girl made such an awkward noise, Nina suddenly sighed.

"It's getting dark," she said, glancing up at the sky outside the door, as if all the conversation had not happened

"I'm going to cook—Shirley, you can stay too, it's not safe to walk in the dark." "Ahh … Huh?" Shirley was stunned and didn't react for a moment, a little unable to keep up with Nina's train of thought, and then followed

Hurriedly waved his hand, "Ah no, no, no! Ah Gou and I will be able to catch up if we go back soon......

As a result, before she could finish speaking, Duncan's voice came from the side: "Stop, the sun will go down in a few minutes."

Mountains - The streets are full of guards, are you sure you want to go through the martial law city under that circumstances?"

Shirley suddenly froze, she glanced back at the sky outside the store, and then at Duncan's calm expression Finally, she realized that she couldn't get out of this antique store today.

"That ... Alright," the girl sat down in frustration, looking at Nina with a smile on her face, "is there anything I can do to help?" "No, I've always cooked at home," Nina laughed as she walked up the stairs to the second floor

She said, but when she was about to step up the steps, she suddenly stopped, she stood there, looked at Shirley very seriously, and after a few seconds spoke, "Shirley, are we friends?" Shirley was stunned, but her first reaction was to glance at Duncan, who looked elsewhere, and she had no choice but to do it again

Turning back to look at Nina, she shook her head after a brief but uncomfortable few seconds of silence: "...... No.

But then, she nodded: "But I can try,

Nina laughed, and although the other party didn't give a very positive answer, she seemed to have gotten the most perfect

She ran upstairs as fast as she could, her footsteps hurried and brisk. Shirley watched the other party run up to the second floor in a little stunned, only then did she suddenly hear a calm voice coming from the side

Come: "Thank you."

It was Duncan who was talking.

Shirley was startled, quickly sat back in her chair and turned to Duncan, "What are you thanking me for?"

"Nina doesn't have any friends at school," Duncan said, accustomed to the overly nervous reaction of the other party, "so she seemed very happy the other day when she talked about the new friend she had made at school."

Shirley blinked in confusion, a little unintelligible.

"So first of all, thank you for not telling Nina that you are her friend, and secondly, thank you for saying you can try.

"I ...... Not quite understood, Shirley was still confused, in fact she was even more confused than just now, "You're here... It's just playing an ordinary person, isn't it? Nina She ...... I don't seem to know how special you are, she is also in school, there is no sense of existence at all, and even if it wasn't for the guidance of a dog, I almost didn't find her when I went to school for the first time, but common sense judges, like her, a 'dependent' who is favored by you

"It's not a dependent, it's a niece," Duncan emphasized again, and then looked at the other party with a very serious expression, "Now that Nina is gone, I have a question for you."

"You say, you say ........."

"Dog was the one who led you to Nina, right?"

"Yes."

"Because the dog 'smelled' a specific breath on Nina? It judged that Nina was as old as she had been eleven years ago

Does fire have anything to do with it?"

"Right"

What kind of breath is it? Is it the same smell as that factory? Or is it something else?" This time Shirley didn't answer, she set her eyes on Ah Gou.

Under Duncan's gaze, Ah Dog hesitated for a few seconds before finally hanging his head:

"There were ashes floating around her, countless ashes, Mr. Duncan."
