Chapter 43: The Marionette
Hearing what the fox demon said, Geng Liang sneered disdainfully.
"You monsters are used to pretending, you and the monsters in the bazaar smell the same, how can you not know each other?"
"I don't really remember if I've done anything bad, but I did lose some of my memory."
The fox demon said with a sad face, giving up the struggle after hearing that Geng Liang suspected that he had done something bad.
Ning Meng felt that Geng Hao seemed to have a very strong hatred for these monsters.
"Shut up! Don't make those so-called excuses, they don't work, the result is the same anyway, you are committing murder in the street. ”
Geng Liang said with a vicious face, the fox demon was irrefutable, so he closed his mouth.
Ning Meng was very puzzled in his heart, if Geng Liang was because of the fox demon's murder on the street, there was no need to be so angry.
Just as Geng Liang was venting his anger very happily, a few monsters suddenly appeared.
It's just that their appearance did not exacerbate the contradictions between the two sides, but appeared in front of them with a friendly attitude, as if they just wanted to rescue the fox demon that was caught.
Ning Meng held his sword and looked at them very vigilantly, for fear that they would suddenly attack.
"You don't have to be afraid, we have no malicious intentions, we just want you to let Ah Hua go."
An older looking youkai stepped forward and said, his eyes full of sincerity.
Although the other little demons had anger on their faces, they did not stop the old man's plea.
Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Ning Meng's behavior, which also showed that this old man did have a very high status in the ranks of goblins.
However, Geng Hao didn't seem to have any intention of reconciling, and still gestured the knife in front of him, without the slightest intention of relaxing.
"Hey, don't give face, Uncle Dryad is already low, what do you want to do?"
A delicate-looking young man, but with a pair of ears on top of his head, opened his mouth angrily.
Geng Liang listened to what he said and smiled disdainfully: "If you don't beg me, I will forgive you." ”
"You monsters have done a lot of evil, I will not only arrest him, but also arrest all of you one by one, and you will all have to pay the price."
Geng Liang said viciously, and his delicate face became hideous, like a demon.
The little boy seemed to be frightened, he froze in place, unable to say a word.
It wasn't until a timid looking girl next to him tugged at his sleeve that he made a move.
The old man known as the Dryad scolded in a low voice: "Don't be rude, don't you want Ah Hua to live?" ”
A few teenagers instantly wilted, and the tense atmosphere was also dissolved.
Ning Meng listened to it for a long time, and roughly understood that the fox demon lying on the ground, that is, the person who suddenly appeared to attack them at the beginning, was called Ah Hua.
Looking at these ignorant teenagers in front of him, he doesn't look like some heinous bad guy.
Ning Meng didn't understand why they had something to do with the fox demon murder case in the capital?
"He refuses to explain his motives, since you are in a group, it is better for you to explain it clearly."
Ning Meng clasped his hands and raised his eyebrows and said.
"Confess what? Ah Hua is not a bad person? ”
The woman who had just persuaded the young man not to be impulsive was even more excited at this time, obviously, this fox demon named Ah Hua had a lot to do with him.
"We can smell him very similar to the fox demon that hurt people with golden glass."
Ning Meng used what Geng Liang had just said to scare them, hoping to get some clues.
The old man called the Tree Demon let out a long sigh and said when he heard what Ning Meng said.
"The fox demon you mentioned, how is he now?"
Ning Meng smiled when he heard it: "I knew that there was a relationship between you, and I denied it just now." ”
"That fox demon and Ah Hua are siblings." The old man said embarrassedly, as if he was ashamed of what he had just said.
"It's true that we're not bad people, and we've never done anything bad, but there are people who threaten us to do bad things."
The old man said it very tactfully, but Ning Meng also understood.
"Someone is trying to blackmail you into doing something bad? What is it that threatens you, or why do you listen to him? ”
After Ning Meng heard the old man's words, he immediately asked rhetorically.
"It's a long story." The old man said helplessly.
It turned out that the fox demon was controlled by coercion and spells, and there was no way to make his own decisions.
So what he did was not his will at all, and it was not his intention to hurt people on the street.
Not only the fox demon, but also Ah Hua and many demon clans are controlled by a mysterious organization.
They have no way to resist each other, so they can only let each other do what they do.
And they have no way to report these mysterious people, because after they complete the task and complete the other party's instructions, the memory will be lost.
They can't remember exactly what they did, and they don't have any evidence, and most importantly, they don't know who the other person is.
The more Ning Meng listened, the more solemn his expression became, and said, "Have you all helped them complete the task?" Or is it just the fox demon? ”
The old man shook his head and said, "We have all been asked to complete the task, but not all of us can complete the task. ”
It turned out that not all of them had strong mana, and only a few of them had relatively powerful spells.
So only a few people are driven by them to do something bad.
Among them is the fox demon, that fox demon is a kind person, and what he cultivates is also the right path to becoming an immortal.
The most important thing is that he can't do things to kill, and he himself doesn't like these things, before he meets that group of mysterious people, his favorite thing is to do chivalrous justice.
The old man didn't know about these things at first, because some of the little monsters under their command were still young, and some of them couldn't even maintain their full human form.
It's just that once I found that the fox demon came back late at night, covered in wounds, and drowsy, and fell into a coma instantly after returning home.
When you wake up, ask him what he's doing. He didn't know it, he didn't remember it at all.
Because of this incident, the old man sent a little monster to follow him to see what he was going to do?
It turned out that he deliberately appeared on a busy street and harmed passers-by.
It's just that he escaped by luck the first few times, even if he has escaped, but there are still a lot of scars on his body.
And when he returned to his lodgings, the old man inquired about him again.
