It's dark.

Then, as if someone was holding a torch, a glimmer of light appeared in the darkness.

Fireflies are like beans.

Immediately afterward, more torches were lit, and the flames shone brightly, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day.

This is the world of this woman in white's dreams, and it is also her memory.

Ten years ago.

In a peaceful and tranquil mountain village, there are more than a dozen torches running through the low cottages at night.

The torches are held by the young people of each family in the village, one branch after another, arranged in rows according to the age of the young, left, left, right, zigzag, and connected into a hot fire dragon.

The fire dragon soars through the alleys of the village, driving away evil spirits and plague gods for the village.

"March 3rd, don't panic, sweep away the evil, and keep the family safe!"

The children followed the dragon and jumped up, reciting the "words of the god of fire", which is both a nursery rhyme and a proverb, praying for the safety and happiness of the family.

This is the third day of March of this year, the annual day of worship to the god of fire in Mingjia Village, which is lively and grand.

Young and old in the village, no matter how introverted or unsociable they are, tonight, they will step out of their homes and come to the village square, around the bonfire, drinking and dancing with all men, women and children, worshipping the god of fire, and praying for peace.

Everyone was immersed in joy, and no one noticed that at the entrance of Mingjia Village, there were three figures.

It was a strong man with a scar on his face, leading two little girls.

The scarred man was unarmed, and the two little girls were each holding a long sword.

The two little girls looked surprisingly identical, both eleven or twelve years old, not tall, and the three-foot-long sword was as tall as their chests.

They were small and holding big swords, which looked very awkward.

They followed behind the strong man with the scar, not daring to follow too closely, and not daring to fall behind the queen mother, so they were not far behind him.

The little girl on the left is her sister, called Mingxin, and she is very brave, and the little girl on the right is her sister, named Mingyue, who is a little cowardly.

They were originally from Mingjia Village, but they were abducted down the mountain by human traffickers, and they were originally going to be sold into the Qinglou as prostitutes, but later they accidentally entered Chen Guo's killer organization-Dark Pavilion.

The secret cabinet does not raise voice prostitutes, only women who can kill.

It's not a femme fatale, it's not a scheming woman, it's not a vicious woman, and she can't live.

There were more than 200 children who came in with them.

A year later, only the two of them remained.

Everyone else, all dead.

Either died under the knife of others, or died at the hands of the little girl.

She is still just a child, but she doesn't know how many lives she has on her hands.

And tonight, these two little girls ushered in their final test.

After completion, they will officially become a member of the Dark Pavilion, and they will no longer have to endure this kind of torture and experience of "raising poisonous insects and Gu".

If they don't, they will go to hell like the more than 200 children who died. Vicious and wicked women, who have killed many people, should never be reborn.

The strong man with the scar looked at the two little girls at his feet, one on the left and one on the right.

When he looked to the left, he had a satisfied look in his eyes, but when he looked to the right, he shook his head in disappointment.

Although these two little girls look exactly the same, their temperaments are diametrically opposed.

My sister is bold and decisive, never drags her feet in doing things, she is calm and calm in trouble, she has a forbearant temperament, and she is a good material to be a natural killer;

But with the protection of her sister Mingxin, she survived strong and became the last two.

And as long as they get past the level in front of them, they can breathe a sigh of relief for a while, and they don't have to worry about the head falling to the ground.

"Sister, do you recognize it, this is ...... This is our village, we ...... Can we go home?"

The little girl Mingyue still didn't understand the cruel truth of the world, she thought that she could still crawl out of the poisonous insect cave in the dark pavilion.

Now that you have waded through the sea of corpses and blood, how can you see the long stream of Xiaoqiao's people?

Sister Mingxin just didn't speak.

She knew that the strong man with the scar took them back to Mingjia Village, and he was never so kind as letting them go home.

He must have another purpose.

The strong man with the scar naturally has another purpose.

He himself had survived this kind of "Poison Worm Gu" type trial, and he knew very well what was going to happen next.

It was about a few decades ago, and he also made a mistake and entered the selection of the Dark Pavilion.

Among the same batch of trialists, he survived to the end.

He was taken back to the village where he gave birth to him and raised him by his own Gu cultivator.

Then, the Gu cultivator pointed to his village and said to him, "Go, go and kill all the people in the village, whether it is your relatives, neighbors, or teachers, if you don't leave any of them, kill them all." ”

"Kill them, and you will survive, but if one of the heads is missing, then the remaining head will be replaced by the one on your head, understand?"

A qualified assassin in the dark pavilion, the final test is to slaughter the village.

Slaughter the village that gave birth to him and raised him, make himself alone, and let himself have no worries in the red dust.

At that time, the scarred strong man who was still a child was not frightened at all, and he did not cry at all.

He took a knife and went to the village, and with the kung fu that the dark pavilion had taught him, he cut off the head of the shaver at the entrance of the village, the head of the old Xiucai in the village, the head of the child in swaddling clothes, and even the heads of his father and mother.

So, he survived, his six relatives didn't recognize him, he didn't care, and he became a member of the dark cabinet.

And tonight, he was going to say the same thing to the two little girls.

As their Gu keeper, the strong man with the scar said to them coldly, without a trace of emotion in his tone: "Have you seen your village? Have you seen the dancing people in the village? This land gave birth to you and raised you, and these people have also hugged you and kissed you, and now, you take your sword and go and kill them." ”

"As long as it's a person from Mingjia Village, no one can stay. ”

The strong man with the scar looked at the bonfire in the square, restrained all the emotions on his face, was expressionless, turned his eyes, and looked at the little girl Mingyue on the side, but said to the little girl on the other side: "Mingxin, let me remind you, what I am talking about is everyone in this Mingjia Village, including the sister who is now in front of you!"

The strong man with the scar knows that the little girl Mingyue has come to this point only because of the blessing of her sister Mingxin.

She is not a qualified killer.

This kind of person has passed the trial of the Dark Pavilion and has become the killer of the Dark Pavilion, which will only insult the reputation of the Dark Pavilion, and he should not let her pass the trial.

And Mingxin also has its shortcomings and weaknesses, that is Mingyue beside her, as long as she kills her, her weakness will be gone, and she will be one of the best killers in the history of the Dark Pavilion.

Mingxin listened to the words of the strong man with the scar, and was not as shocked as her sister Mingyue, and her face was pale.

She seems to have been prepared for this, and she doesn't seem to have any objection to the fact that she wants to kill her relatives, friends, and teachers.

He just calmly listened to the rules explained to her by the strong man with the scar, carefully analyzed and accepted it, and there was no trace of timidity.

Then she asked, "You're saying that only one of us can survive, right?"

"Yes. ”

The strong man with Scar nodded.

It seems that she has figured it out.

Mingxin heard this, nodded silently and said something he didn't know, and then he no longer stopped at the entrance of the village, but dragged the long sword in his hand and walked towards the village.

There, were her former neighbors, elders, and even relatives.

But in the world, there are cruel things.

The black widow eats the male spider to reproduce, and the female mantis eats the male mantis to continue to reproduce.

If someone wants to live, someone must die.

This is one of the cruelest truths in this world.
