The tiles of the sky are getting darker and darker.

Old Bone walked out of the forest with the bone tool and walked towards me.

"You shouldn't be back here." I said, "If you're foolish and leave happily after 'dying with me' with your doppelganger, you probably won't have to die here today." ”

"Bluff...... Old Bone sneered through his nose and stood still a dozen paces away from me, "The more I bluff, the more I highlight the weakness of my heart." You're powerless, and the last remnants of your strength were used in the last battle, and now you're just a 'mortal' with a body that's hard to kill. But I am grateful for such a miracle, and when I tortured you, there were many methods that I had feared that I would accidentally kill you, and now I can use them. ”

"You're having such a sweet dream...... "I didn't despise him arrogantly because I regained my strength, and while observing his posture and movements, I reached behind me to summon the Siren's Blade," while closing my eyes. ”

"Hahaha, the famous demon Li Duo said this kind of thing to me, it really scared me, I'm afraid of death, I'm afraid of death." He couldn't help but laugh, and then said, "Then again, you walked out from here just now...... It should be a black-clad warlock from the Security Bureau, it seems to be called a blue bird? ”

"What?" I involuntarily stopped.

"Don't try to pretend to be garlic, she chased and killed my doppelganger, I can share consciousness with the doppelganger, and I will never forget the person who chased and killed me." He said, "The people I hate in the world are you, and the number one is the sanctimonious black-clad sorcerers. They say that they are presiding over the justice and order of the hidden world, and they must have secretly done things that enrich their pockets. As a result, when it came to you, it somehow raised the shelves of the secret law...... It's really a group of things that are not enough to fail! ”

His countenance was increasingly tainted by hatred, "At the beginning...... If they had come a little earlier, even if it was ten minutes earlier...... It's not going to be like that! ”

"Is that why you have repeatedly attacked people associated with the Security Service and their families?" I said, "Because their righteousness is late to you?" I still can't remember what happened back then, but the reason why you were saved back then was because the law enforcement warlock arrived. That being the case, shouldn't you thank them? ”

"Thanks? Do they deserve it too? I'm going to take revenge on them, on these unworthy guys! Whether it's the black-clad warlock who is outside, the white-clad warlock who is moving in the rear, and their relatives and friends, I will kill them all! Before killing, I want to make their relatives and friends suffer as much as possible, and let them know my pain! His emotions were out of control, and he let out a lot of nonsense, "Heroes are happy to save beauty, aren't they?" Do you deserve it too? The woman you rescued before, I will soon drag it in front of you and kill her! Let your efforts be in vain! And that black-clad warlock named Bluebird, do you have a leg with her? That kind of naïve woman is the easiest to grasp the weakness, and no matter how strong her strength is, she is full of flaws. After I have captured her parents and family, she will no longer be able to put on that righteous hero's face to me, and watch me torture her with the dirtiest and cruelest means! You just watch me torture her and hate your own powerlessness! ”

"I see, you still want to ...... to the blue bird" His words made my brain boil silently, and even some terrifying and muddy bubbles appeared that should not have been, and I gradually became another person as if I was possessed.

"What, what's your reaction? What do you think you can do? His voice was full of the pleasure of revenge, "So you haven't found out yet?" The speed at which you speak has become so fast unconsciously. I thought I could hide my weakness and fear...... It's all exposed! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the bone weapon and burst into me.

This is no longer human speed, and the sprint world champion is dwarfed by him.

But with the Siren's blade's drastic acceleration of consciousness and perception speed, everything seemed so slow to my eyes at this moment. The dead leaves scattered among the trees, the sparrows fluttering on the branches, the facial muscles that are extremely excited by the old bones...... I can see it all.

Now I have a level of strength that is very close to the height of my heyday.

This is quite an anomaly.

Because in my heyday, my strength composition was divided into two parts, which were the physical strength supported by "it", and the bonus of the siren's blade to my own strength; And now I only have a siren blade, and it stands to reason that my strength will drop significantly.

But in reality, this is not the case, and a single siren blade is enough to support the current shelf.

The Siren's Blade has become more powerful than it used to be, why is that?

I drove the force as I watched the old bones come to me at a slow pace. Then, I took the siren blade out of the back and in front of me. His gaze caught the scene, and a drastic change gradually emerged. However, it was already too late. All he had time to move now was his eyes.

In an instant, the air was filled with the sound of an axe whistling heavily, slashing off his right hand holding the bone weapon, as well as shattering his chest, knocking him to the ground.

"No, no, how can this be......" he coughed up blood in agony, terrified, "it shouldn't be like this...... How can you have ......"

"You just hold this question and go to hell before me." I walked up to him, "but before that......"

"You...... What do you want to do? He reflexively stepped back, and then, as if he had just reacted, suddenly laughed, "Ah, useless...... It's just my doppelganger. Whatever you want to do to me is useless, I'll be back! What I'm best at is lurking, as long as I hide in the shadows, you can't do anything to me, see me first overpower all the people around you......"

"There seems to be a delay in the connection between your clone and the main body." I say.

"What?" He was slightly stunned, and then showed a look of extreme fear, "Wait, what's going on, my body ......"

"Was it your body that first appeared in front of me in Liucheng? Clones that are too similar to the main body can sometimes inflict fatal damage on the main body. I said, "...... If you just want to do something to me, I don't care at all. Kill me at once, torture me, that's the result of my own sowing. And you will become what you are today, and I have my responsibility in it. ”

"My essence, my essence......" he said in a rambling voice, as if he had not listened to my words at all.

"If you hadn't said you'd be going to shoot at the Blue Bird, I'd be sure to make your trip a little more enjoyable. Because I probably wish I could die a little better. ”

He seemed to finally shift his attention from the main body to mine, and asked the question again, "...... What do you want to do? ”

"Have you ever cooked for someone else?" I didn't answer the question.

"What?"

I repeated, "Have you ever cooked for someone else?" ”

He was uncomfortably silent.

“…… I used to cook a lot. I deliberately allowed myself to say, "Although I never eat those dishes, as long as the other person eats happily, it will generate corresponding motivation." In many cases, in order to cater to each other, it is necessary to cut it into small pieces that are convenient for the entrance......"

As he spoke, he raised his axe.

"Let me go, let me go......" he pleaded.

I stopped. A glint of hope appeared in his eyes.

"I almost forgot, Bluebird agreed with me, she will come back here to meet me later, don't make this place too dirty." I said, "Let's change places first." ”

The sky was completely dark.

I took the old bones to the dark depths of the mountain forest. After a few moments, the birds flapped their wings and were startled.

----

In the end, I still gave the old bone a hard time.

It wasn't that I had the intention of scaring him from the beginning, I really wanted to kill him in a cruel way. But in the final analysis, Old Bone was reduced to such a depraved state because he was brutally killed by my lover during the Demon Period, and it is logical that he will have a homomorphic revenge mentality; And if I'm angry because he's threatening someone I value, then I shouldn't kill him in a cruel way.

It's such a simple truth, but I almost forgot about it. I was still thinking about healthy revenge and sick revenge, but in the end I also seemed to be a pathological person. Perhaps it was the experience of the Majin period that left an indelible mark on my heart, and I was able to think of cruelty so naturally.

And is this out of the brainwashing that the blue bird said, or is it out of my own nature?

If it is the Li Duo in the dream, it will definitely be healthier...... In other words, I will face the old bones more like a hero.

When I realized this, I could no longer do what I had thought of it, as if someone was standing behind me, quietly but forcefully holding my wrist.

A few minutes after the old bone died, the body and the surrounding blood were gone, and it seemed that there was no need to relocate the place before, and the place where his body was located had probably become a mess.

After this incident, I also discovered that while the Siren's Blade is extremely powerful, it also has a major problem that has never been seen before.

I quickly figured out the cause of this problem, and I'll talk about it later when I have a chance, but now I'm going to face the blue bird first.

It didn't take long for the blue bird to return, and as soon as she arrived, she frowned, as if she sensed something, "I feel like I've been fighting...... Li Duo, you ......"

"The old bones have come." I said, "I'll kill him." ”

"How?" She immediately asked.

I summoned the Siren's Blade in front of her, and said briefly, unabashedly, what I had done and what I had intended to do, and waited silently for her unrelenting reprimand.

She just sighed, "I see, you somehow regained your strength......" She paused here for a moment, looking unable to figure out what was going on, so she had to continue to push, "and kill the old bone ......"

"Do you just ask me anything else?" I asked.

"Do you mean that you wanted to brutally kill the old bones? There's no need to think so much, he's a criminal who is innocent. In fact, it is not without people in the Security Service who commit cruel acts against criminals during their missions. At this point, she changed her words, "Of course, if you really do that, I will still scold you severely." It's not because it's right or wrong, it's because it's too harmful to your own psyche. I want you to be able to distance yourself from your past self. ”

Naturally, I have no objections, "I'll remember." ”

"And ...... I don't know why you regained your strength, but since you're so sure, you shouldn't even kill Old Bone before, but you should grab his clone and use it as a 'hostage' to force him to come out and surrender to the Security Bureau. She complained, "As long as you have this merit, maybe you can join the Security Bureau, and now it's not even very good to prove that you solved the old bones......

Hand over the old bones to the Security Service...... This is the most normal way of thinking, which is precisely the blind spot of my consciousness.

After all, do I really have a position to decide the life and death of the old bones? Wouldn't it be better to hand it over to the Security Service for trial? But I've already killed the old bones.

"How can I join the Security Service?" I asked, surprised.

Blue Bird replied, "No one said it couldn't. ”

"There's no political trial or anything?"

"Yes." "But as long as you're good enough, it's not like you can't open the door." Besides, you've regained so much strength, you can't still be told to live a normal life in a secular society, right? Then the Security Bureau will not be relieved, and it should always put you in the right place...... Hey, maybe a head without old bones is okay? Of course, those important positions will definitely not be done, so you should die. ”

The Security Service seems to be an even more outrageous organization than I thought.

But...... Can I also become a Law Enforcement Warlock? Even someone like me?

"How? Want to join? If you want to join, I'll go and plead with the teacher. Once you've passed, you'll be able to fight to save others. She looked me in the eye, "As long as you make a big enough feat, it's not impossible to become a hero." ”

Fighting to save others...... This quote really hit me in the heart.

I remembered the pride that came to me when I saved the young woman; And even though there was only a little bit of it, it seemed that I could forgive myself a little bit and made up my mind.

"I want to join." I said, "But forget about the hero, I'm sure I can't do it." ”

She smiled and asked, "Can't do it, can't you succeed?" ”

After that, we left the woods.

On the way, Blue Bird took out his mobile phone and made a call, which seemed to be to the "little grass", asking her to drive us back to the city.

When she finished calling, I asked, "The teacher you mentioned earlier...... Is that the person in charge of interrogating me? ”

The image of the old man in his fifties came to my mind.

He was also the law enforcement warlock who led the attack on me and "it" in my ending as a demon.

On top of that, he appeared in my dreams.

When I got to the later stage of the dream, I once thought that the only people in the dream who were not fictional were me, Blue Bird, and Ren Sai, and there were only these three people, but in fact there was a fourth person, which was the inquisitor.

He once told me that the dream was not only a psychological treatment plan, but also a final psychological test for me.

As soon as I first reported the crime in the dream, he appeared and asked me about my impressions of the demons and so on.

He hasn't been seen in my dreams since.

Maybe I think I've got enough judgment material.

Then, of course, another strong question popped up in my mind.

When he appeared in my dreams, it was already after my dreams had been implanted with malignant factors. He had fought against me when he was a demon, and he must have known that the demon in his dream was no match for the blue bird's sure chances of victory.

Even so, the inquisitor chose to leave the dream, leaving the blue bird alone on his mission.

Why?
