"It's very simple. I found you before I entered the dream."

Lu Youzhi probably guessed that all this was related to Jiang Sheng.

When she saw Jiang Sheng for the first time during the day, even without taking action, Lu Youzhi could still feel that Jiang Sheng was unfathomable. To put it bluntly, for a demon catcher of Jiang Sheng's level, even if he couldn't kill ghosts, it was impossible for him not to know that it was ghosts that had been haunting An County recently.

More importantly, when Jiang Sheng heard her talking about ghosts haunting An County, the look in his eyes was extremely cold, even revealing a hint of hostility.

Obviously, the recent deaths in An County must be related to Jiang Sheng, or in other words, he is the culprit. So the moment she saw the white shadow, Lu Youzhi became cautious. She noticed that there was no Yin energy on the white shadow, and knew that the white shadow must be a person, so she simply played along, and sure enough, she caught the big fish, Jiang Sheng.

But why?

Jiang Sheng is a highly respected demon catcher in An County. Why would he do such a thing?

Lu Youzhi was very curious. Without waiting for Jiang Sheng to answer, she asked, "Why did you kill these people in An County? Was it to deliberately create panic in An County?"

"Creating panic? I don't have that much free time."

Jiang Sheng was exposed, and the coldness on his face was much less. He found a seat and sat down. He seemed to have considered his words before he slowly spoke: "Yesterday when you went to An County, even though you are a demon catcher, you suffered humiliation."

"If even a demon catcher is like this, what about ordinary people?"

His eyes fell on Lu Youzhi, and Lu Youzhi probably understood what he meant: "You mean..."

"It's not that I didn't give them a chance." Jiang Sheng drank the tea in the cup, "But no one cherished this opportunity."

"They always feel superior because they are from An County, as if all outsiders should become their slaves."

"Do you know? When I was young, I had a son..."

Jiang Sheng talked about his past, a very bloody story.

Jiang Sheng was born into a wealthy and famous family and was engaged since childhood, but he did not understand love and only wanted to become a monster catcher. His parents wanted him to stay at home quietly, but Jiang Sheng did not want to, so he had a huge conflict with his parents. He ran away from home more than once, but his family was powerful in the local area, and every time he ran away, he was caught and brought back before he even left the city gate.

I would rather die than be without freedom.

After several attempts, Jiang Sheng felt that life was hopeless and he simply took poison to commit suicide. His action completely frightened his parents, and they finally compromised and agreed to let him practice with the demon catcher. However, there was a prerequisite, which was that he had to give birth to a child. As long as he got married and had children, they would no longer stop him from pursuing his freedom.

Jiang Sheng's childhood sweetheart loved him deeply. Even though she knew she would leave Jiang Sheng if she had a child, she still married him without hesitation despite her parents' opposition. The two were together for a year. A year later, his wife finally became pregnant with Jiang Sheng's child. Jiang Sheng was young and energetic at the time. Although he admired his wife a little, he felt more relieved when he saw that she was pregnant. He left home on the day he confirmed that his wife was pregnant.

More than ten years passed in a flash.

He also gained a certain status among the monster catchers. He lived the life he had always dreamed of. He began to miss his wife and children, so he wrote back and asked them to come to An County.

"But I didn't expect that... during the two days they came, I happened to be out chasing a nine-tailed fox, and they were bullied by the people in An County just because they were ordinary people."

"My wife was sold to a brothel by them."

"My son was beaten to death on the spot for protecting my wife."

"When I came back, my wife told me to avenge her and my son, and then I bit my tongue and committed suicide."

She said she had never asked him for anything over the years.

She said that she had been waiting for news from him all these years. She wanted him to see their son. She finally waited for this day, but she didn't expect that what she waited for was not a family reunion, but separation of life and death.

She also said that she had remained a virgin for him all these years, but lost her virginity when she was about to reunite with him. If she had not been waiting for him to come back, she would have died long ago, if it had not been for her love for her son, if it had not been for her hatred for those people, if it had not been for letting him avenge them and their son.

His wife's voice and appearance still appeared in his mind, and Jiang Sheng's eyes were red. In order to protect the people, he had been killing monsters everywhere over the years, but he didn't expect that he protected everyone but couldn't even protect his wife and children.

"Do you think I can not hate it?"

Jiang Sheng was filled with hatred: "I went to catch the monster for the people of An County, but the people of An County treated my wife and children like this. I will not let them go. They all deserve to die."

"They all deserve to die."

Lu Youzhi didn't expect that Jiang Sheng would have such a past. Although it was tragic and made her feel heavy in her heart, she was still puzzled: "Didn't you tell others to pick up your wife and children?"

"It was my fault."

Jiang Sheng's tears immediately flowed down: "At that time, they said that some people were captured by monsters. I left in a hurry. I... I forgot to tell them. If I had told them, they would not have died. They would not have died..."

Jiang Sheng almost burst into tears, which made people feel pity, but soon, his face changed again: "I don't plan to live anymore. After I have avenged myself, I will go to accompany my wife and son. I heard from my wife that my son is fifteen years old this year. After hearing about my deeds, he also wants to become a great hero who protects the people and stands tall and proud."

"He came here with my wife this time to practice with me... It's me... It's me who let him down."

The more Jiang Sheng spoke, the more painful it became. She seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Lu Youzhi didn't know what to say. Ever since she arrived in An County, she had had a bad impression of the people there. She never expected them to be so bad.

"But every wrong has its perpetrator. The people of An County are hateful, but the ones who killed your wife and son are the real culprits. You can just kill them. Why do you want to involve others?"

"Because they are all birds of a feather!!!"

Jiang Sheng's emotions suddenly became agitated. He smashed the teacup in his hand, his eyes red with anger: "My wife and son didn't have to die at that time, but after they entered An County, they were first deceived into going to a black shop, and then at night a thief stole all their money. The boss asked my wife to pay for the room."

"My wife also had a hairpin, and she wanted to pawn it, but the pawnbroker colluded with the pawnshop owner and replaced my wife's hairpin with a fake one."

"My wife finally realized something was wrong, and she tried to run away with our son, but was stopped by other Anxian residents."

"No one... no one stood up to say a word for them..."

"If only someone had said something to help them along the way, perhaps they wouldn't have ended up like that."
