Chapter 4 Discarding debris

But Li Qingyan didn't dodge, and let the six arms hold him firmly.

The attackers outside the window seemed surprised by how easy they could get. She let out a soft "huh" - it was hard to imagine that the sound of such an ugly and horrible face could be pleasant.

"Black Widow, don't worry. Li Qingyan stood straight, looked directly at the face that was only ten centimeters away from him, and raised his hand to show his bracelet, "I am not an enemy. I'm also a demon, and I'm a member of the Promotion Association. ”

The six hands that were already about to exert their strength paused. On the terrifying face, the dense eyes blinked together, and then all sunken down. The huge mouth shrank into a human mouthβ€”it became a face with only one mouth and one nose.

"You know me?" said the eyeless demon in a sweet voice, "who are you?"

"My upline is a serious student. Li Qingyan said calmly, "We need this girl, but I don't know why the green wolf of your gang doesn't sell the face of old friends, so I can only protect myself." ”

Carambola was still sitting in the chair, and her body began to tremble slightly. But she didn't move, she didn't speak, she didn't open her eyes.

"Self-preservation!?" the female voice suddenly raised, and both of them began to buzz in their ears. The sweet voice became sharp, and a puff of smoke and dust exploded on the windowsill.

But his voice lowered again, and became gentle and melodious: "Protect yourself...... Ah, okay, tell me, what do you want her to do?"

Li Qingyan sighed lightly: "I don't know. I just carry out the order. But I wonder why your gang killed her. ”

The head of the demon named "Black Widow" turned. It was as if he was really looking at him with a pair of eyes. Then the voice cooled: "Then I don't know either." All I know is that someone told her to die - you're out of luck. I'm going to die with her tonight. ”

The dense eyes suddenly resurfaced, and the demon's six hands violently exerted force.

But it seems that it is not the flesh that is grasped, but a steel sculpture.

"So you're just guns. Li Qingyan frowned, "I thought you had a good reason." ”

He raised his right hand. The demon let out a soft "huh" again, not understanding why he was able to break free from his restraints.

But there was no chance to figure it out again. Li Qingyan raised his hand and threw a pebble, and at the same time flashed to the left, avoiding the window.

Several of the arms still clutching him snapped, and the demon's head exploded. Foul-smelling flesh splattered in, splashed on the ground, and splashed smoke and dust.

When star fruit finally couldn't help but open its eyes, it was also the same scene.

I saw Li Qingyan walking to another window unhurriedly and slowly, like an ordinary person watching the night scene.

- Throw pebbles outward at the same time.

His movements were so fast that the girl could only see a series of afterimages, and by the time she realized that the extremely sharp whistling she heard was the sound of a stone breaking through the sky, Li Qingyan had already breathed a sigh of relief and turned around.

The maiden heard a few more muffled noises in the surrounding woods, as if overripe watermelons had burst open, which she had seen with her own eyes in the summer when she was ten years old. It's just that the watermelon took three days to transport from the city to the farm, and when it burst on the table, it was the same sound.

But she knew what she was hearing now......

The sound of a skull popping.

This precise, swift, yet incomparably violent killing made her heart tremble again. She mustered up the courage to look at Li Qingyan's face, but she could see that there was a very indifferent expression on that face.

It's like just a few stones.

Although she was well aware that he was only doing all this to save the lives of both of them. I also know that those demons wandering in the wasteland are not reasonable "people".

However...... He is also a demon clan.

The girl inhaled softly, feeling her body still tremble. I don't know if it's an illusion, but she felt the moonlight outside the window getting brighter, but also colder.

But then I heard the young man in the white shirt who had not been stained a little red after harvesting several lives: "It's different. ”

The girl was stunned.

"I know what you're thinking. But I am different from them, you and them. Li Qingyan walked over slowly, dragged another chair and sat in front of her. His expression was as gentle as that of a doctor on a farm, as if the killing he had just done was just an illusion. He looked into the eyes of the star fruit, "You're scared to see me kill them." ”

"I know. You were scared when you saw me kill the green wolf, and now you're scared. ”

"You think I'm a demon. He shook his right hand, then lowered his rolled sleeve and slowly buttoned it up, "But you see, my bracelet is white." Do you know why I called them the Red Gang?"

There is magic in his voice.

At least that's what star fruit thinks. She almost lost count of how many times she had now...... When she felt frightened and hesitant, the man calmed herself down in just a few words.

This time it will take effect as well.

"I ......," star fruit bit her lip, "I don't know." ”

"Because if they had a bracelet, it should be red. Li Qingyan smiled, "You should always know that the demon clan in the Republic must wear bracelets and eat safe every month." Test you, what is Enron - it should be mentioned in the recent history of middle school. ”

No...... Don't speak. Don't annoy him......

It's been less than three hours since I met this man, but ...... He has already killed eight "people"!

And yet he didn't take them or the killing to heart at all, and he was still speaking so gently and calmly!

A voice prompted in the girl's heart. But she still said in a ghostly manner: "Enron...... It is a tranquilizer developed for the demon clan. ”

"The demon clan will suppress the power in the body if they eat Enron. It can also be called the mood of the demon clan is soothing, cool-headed, and more logical. So you can ...... better devote ourselves to the construction of a new society and avoid many unnecessary contradictions in daily life......"

Li Qingyan smiled approvingly: "Yes." We, the demon clan, eat Enron once a month. The drug binds to some hormones in the body and is detected by the bracelet, so the bracelet is white. White means that this demon clan is law-abiding, self-disciplined, and a good resident. ”

"If you don't take Enron for a month, the concentration of the drug in your body will decrease, and the bracelet will turn yellow. At this time, the demon clan is usually impulsive and easy to show animal nature. ”

"If you take the drug for two months, the bracelet will turn red. This means danger - the demon clan at this time completely exposes its true nature, its natural character flaws. This is a felony. If someone doesn't want to be punished by the law, they run away. ”

Star fruit let out a soft "ah".

"You mean ......"

"Most of the people I killed were such criminals. Li Qingyan nodded seriously, "Flee to the wasteland and evade responsibility." Their mindset is different from ours, and bestiality prevails. So I only asked her one thing - because these people are not very good at lying. In fact, if a demon stops taking Enron for a long time and then stops taking the medicine, he will lose a lot of logical thinking ability. Lying is a hard thing for them, and they don't usually do that. ”

Star fruit felt that she was about to be convinced by him - he was a demon clan. But the white bracelet. He followed the etiquette and morals of the new society and was rational and peaceful.

Once again, she felt that the world had become extremely complicated after leaving the farm. There are so many things that you can't touch in that little world. Now, they're going to get into her head.

"Alright. In short, don't be afraid of me. You are smart and calm. This is a rare good quality that should not be left in the wasteland. I'll take you into the city tomorrow, and maybe you'll be in time for the fall make-up for the ashram. ”

"Into the city, the workshop?" were the words that once again easily stirred the girl's heart, temporarily dispelling her worries and fears as before...... Can I? But how do we get into town? You brought me out of the farm, I don't have a migration permit......

"I have a way. ”

The girl fell silent. Hear the low chirping of insects in the wilderness. It's just half a day's work, and her whole world seems to have been rewritten.

"You...... Why do so much for me?"

Li Qingyan laughed: "You forgot." It's that I don't know why I reminded myself to save you. I want to figure it out. ”

This may be a reasonable explanation. But star fruit felt, perhaps delusionally, that there was something panicked in the man's smile.
