Others say the devil is my cub [Rebirth]

Under the incineration effect of the melting fire, Ziyuan's mind regained a little clarity.

Raising her head, Zi Yuan looked at Li Yu who was squatting in front of her.

Her tears slowly piled up to the end of her eyes, condensing into a round dimple.

Then, a drop of tear broke through the barrier of the lower eyelashes and flowed down, and the rest of the teardrops turned into a small stream, meandering and falling down the flushed cheek.

Stretching out her hand, Ziyuan straightened her fingertips, trembling slightly, reaching for Li Yu's face, but at the moment when her fingertips were about to touch Li Yu, she relaxed her palm and let her whole hand hang down feebly.

"It's not you, the demon I like is not you, I don't like you," Ziyuan knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

"I still remember the feeling of liking, and I still remember that the deer in my heart would keep bumping when I saw him, and I just wanted to be with him forever with joy."

"But I forgot who he is. I only remember you, Li Yu, in my mind."

"Tell me, what happened to me?"

"You can see my memory, right, please, don't lie to me."

Ziyuan's hair was messily scattered in front of her forehead, and the tears flowing wantonly from the corners and tails of her eyes converged into a large water curtain at her chin.

tick, tick, tick

on the back of clenched hands

Li Yu's ear tips drooped down, covering a small shadow on the side of his face.

After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly, and told Ziyuan everything exactly.

Huang Ji silently squatted beside Li Yu, holding Li Yu's slightly trembling shoulder with one hand, and resting the other hand on his thin back with protruding spine.

……

"Li Yu, thank you for telling me the truth," Ziyuan smiled happily, her eyes narrowed into two pointed crescent moons.

"You are such a gentle fellow."

***

After appeasing Ziyuan, Li Yu transferred Ziyuan's memory into Huangji's mind, and sat down with Huangji to discuss.

"It's not Ruyu," Huangji said after thinking about it.

"Well, she is indeed not the mastermind of the girl's disappearance case, and the mastermind who wanted to kill me and seize the king's core," Li Yu nodded.

Raising his hand and scratching the tip of his nose, Li Yu continued: "We observed Ziyuan for three days near Ruyu Pavilion, and Ziyuan told 23 beautiful girls who passed by that they should stay young forever."

"Among the 23 demons, none of them objected to this. Although the number of 23 is not too many, it is enough to explain the problem."

"In addition, Ziyuan and I have known each other since childhood, knowing that she has always been excluded by her parents and classmates, and she desperately longs for her own ideas to be recognized."

"So I speculate that Ziyuan's ability should have a verbal hypnotic effect. For example, persuasion, or forcing the other party to agree with what I said."

"And just now, when she spoke to me, the ability was activated, which triggered the melting fire that would spread all over my body to defend against the enemy all the time, which is the best proof."

Seeing Huang Ji's serious face and listening seriously, Li Yu giggled, leaned over and scratched Huang Ji's jaw with his index finger.

Huang Ji has a very high nose bridge, sharp facial lines, and a pair of eyes as black as a falcon. It is a handsome face that looks full of masculinity.

In the past, Li Yu never paid too much attention to the male monster's appearance.When I saw a handsome man on the road, I would at most compliment him silently in my heart, and wouldn't even linger for a moment longer.

But this face of Huang Ji made Li Yu more and more pleasing to his eyes the more he looked at it recently.

I couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

Reaching out to push Li Yu's hand away, Huang Ji whispered, "Don't make trouble."

Being teased by Huangji's voice "Don't make trouble", Li Yu curled up his mouth and laughed teasingly: "No, I'm going to make trouble, Master Cat, I'm not only making trouble, but I think you are pretty, little daughter-in-law Huang." I still want to kiss you."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his small tongue and licked around his lips, making a gesture to kiss Huang Ji's angular square jaw. At the same time, the image of Huang Ji in the past, blushing and shy while avoiding him appeared in his mind.

Hee hee, it's really fun to tease Huang Ji's little daughter-in-law!

"Really want to kiss?" Huang Ji, who was originally looking ahead, suddenly lowered his head, staring at Li Yu who was facing up to him with a half-smile and asked.

The sudden change made Li Yu stunned for an instant, and stopped his head stiffly in mid-air.

"...Huang shame, you have changed, why are you still flirting with me in reverse now?" Stared at by Huangji's black dragon crystal-like eyes, Li Yu, who has always been cheeky, felt that his hands and feet were a little twitchy. Soft, and the tongue is a little knotted.

"Did you kiss?" After finishing speaking, Huang Ji suddenly lowered his head and got very close to Li Yu face to face.

His light and moist lips were almost sticking to Li Yu's lips, and the hot air from the tip of his nose hit Li Yu's face, making Li Yu's face flushed instantly.

"No, no, no, no kiss, I'm just kidding with you," Li Yu was forced to throw his head down desperately by Huangji's sudden attack, and pushed hard with both hands on Huangji's chest, trying to pull distance.

He felt that his heart was beating violently suddenly, and his whole face was unnaturally hot as if it had been scorched by fire.

The strange and uncontrollable emotions made Li Yu feel extremely flustered, and could only subconsciously push Huang Ji's body away desperately.

"Well, let's continue." Seeing Li Yu's strong resistance, Huang Ji didn't say anything, just sat up straight and returned to his original position.

"Ahem," Li Yu coughed a few times to cover up his inner panic, blushing, stretched out his hand to smooth the soft hair on the top of his head, and continued: "Ruyu has been trying to attract our attention from the very beginning to On Ziyuan who lured|abducted|the girl, this is enough to show that she is not the mastermind of the girl's disappearance."

"What's more, in order to prevent more girls from coming to Ruyu Pavilion to work, she even tried to use violence to intimidate her."

"This also just shows that Ruyu thinks that the banshees who come to work in Ruyu Pavilion are because they are greedy for the magic medicine of eternal youth, and they don't know that all this is actually caused by Ziyuan's supernatural power."

"Judging from the fact that although Ruyu is aware that there may be something wrong with Ziyuan, but she doesn't understand Ziyuan's abilities, it can be deduced that she is not the mastermind behind sending Ziyuan to try to murder me with abilities."

Frowning, Li Yu said: "But she is definitely not innocent."

"Because, as the owner of Ruyu Pavilion on the surface, she must be aware of the situation of these banshees. But she has done nothing, and she has never even asked for help from the outside world."

"And, knowing everything and openly trying to prevent the behind-the-scenes from achieving their goals, she still maintains her sanity, which shows that the behind-the-scenes is very conniving with her actions."

"It's very contradictory. I think there are some secrets hidden behind the matter," Li Yu bit his lower lip and thought hard, and his slender fingers unconsciously|inserted|twitched in his short hair left and right.

Looking at Ziyuan who was sleeping peacefully at the side, Li Yu's tone became low: "We can extract three key points from Ziyuan."

"First, Ziyuan's body has been modified. All the flesh and bones inside have been removed and replaced with silkworm cotton, but she survived strangely."

"Secondly, Ziyuan's supernatural attributes are needed by the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Thirdly, the mastermind behind the scenes has a special obsession with young and beautiful banshees, and what he said [I just don't know how to appreciate my own beauty] actually reveals a very crucial message."

Speaking of this, Li Yu paused, looked up at Huang Ji and smiled, "What do you think?"

Huangji pondered for a moment, and replied: "The behind-the-scenes regrets those banshees who don't know how to appreciate beauty, and at the same time urgently needs Ziyuan's ability to seduce, which shows that the inner desire for eternal youth should be triggered by the ability. conditions of."

"As for the monster's supernatural means, could it be that the banshee can be made into a living puppet that can move freely?"

Subconsciously tapping his knee rhythmically with his index finger, Huang Ji thought slowly and said: "No, what I just thought doesn't make sense."

"You have checked Ziyuan before, and there is no trace of supernatural power on her body, which means that making the banshee into a living puppet is not the function of supernatural power."

Following Huang Ji's example, he lightly tapped his knee with his index finger a few times, Li Yu tilted his head and peeked at Huang Ji, and by the way, he grabbed the finger on Huang Ji's knee that kept swinging up and down. .

As soon as Li Yu saw something moving back and forth, he couldn't help but want to use his hands to pick it up. The problem of missing hands was simply engraved in his bones, and he couldn't change it even if he wanted to.

Seeing Huang Ji looking down at him, Li Yu unconsciously saw the scene of Huang Ji staring at him just now.

There seemed to be a volcano hidden in those eyes, usually dark and silent, but sometimes they would erupt suddenly, and just the light of the eyes could burn him out of shape.

Afraid to meet those pure black eyes again, Li Yu quickly sat up straight and said solemnly: "If my guess is correct, Ruyu should be the one who controls or makes the living puppets. And the inner longing for this alien who remains young forever It can trigger the conditions, and my intuition tells me that it should also be Ruyu."

Huang Ji: "Why?"

Li Yu: "Have you ever noticed that the banshees in Ruyu Pavilion cover their faces with their hands every time they talk or laugh?"

Huang Ji: "Yeah"

Li Yu: "Just now I found that Ziyuan is abnormal because I observed the unnaturalness of her throat, so the mouth is the only flaw for these living puppets to reveal their identities."

"And the natural and elegant cover-up movement of covering the face with hands is absolutely impossible to come up with by a male demon."

Huangji: "You say the man behind the scenes is a male demon?"

Li Yu sneered: "My mother said that those who would use words such as treasures and works of art to praise the other party's appearance in front of girls and feel that they are extremely talented and complacent are all those who don't know how to respect girls. male trash."

"If our conjecture is correct, the real situation of the Ruyu Pavilion girl's disappearance is that Ruyu used abilities to make the girls who were forced to remain young forever, and then made these beautiful skins into After living as a puppet, hide in Ruyu Pavilion."

"As for the mastermind of the girl's disappearance and the man behind the scenes who tried to kill me and seize the king's core, he is just a coward who is psychopathic and only dares to hide in the dark."

After finishing speaking, the corners of Li Yu's eyes and lips slowly curled up, and there was a trace of coldness in the round cat's eyes.

"If you want to plot against Master Cat, it's not enough for him."
