Judgment

In the darkness, only one pair of eyes was particularly bright.

Mother Liu pushed open the door, and saw her son's beast-like eyes.

"Mom..." Liu Tao responded in a low voice, and sat there motionless.

Feeling a little uncoordinated in her heart, Mother Liu approached her son step by step.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the mess in the room, she bent down to clean it up. "If you're hungry, just wait a little longer. I brought a chicken back from my grandfather's house, and I'll stew it for you later."

Seeing the woman bent over and busy, the young man on the bed let out another grunt from his throat.

"Mom, do you think I'm useless?" Liu Tao said slowly, his voice was so hoarse that it was not like a living thing.

"What do you say?" Mother Liu complained as she cleaned up the trash. "He's such an old man, he still doesn't know how to do any housework."

Liu Tao's eyes flickered, he got off the bed, and slowly approached behind her.Lips opened and closed, and whispered: "Do you... want me to die?"

Finally realizing what was wrong with her son, Mother Liu turned around and said in surprise, "What did you say...uh!"

Her throat was blocked by a pair of powerful hands, and Mother Liu looked at her son in disbelief.

Liu Tao's eyes were full of red light, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he grabbed his mother's throat with both hands.

"If you want me to die, we will die together!"

"Tao...cough cough, son..." Liu's mother's face gradually turned blue, and she barely reached out to grab Liu Tao's hand. "No... stop."

"Why!" Liu Tao yelled uncontrollably, "After I die, what should I do if I leave you alone? Who will die for you? Mom, die with me!"

At the corner of her mouth was the saliva that was strangled and had no time to swallow. Mother Liu looked like a crazy son.

"No, don't kill... Taotao. Those who kill people will go to jail, and they will be...arrested. Don't..."

After she said this, she gradually lost consciousness, and the garbage bag in her hand, which was cleaning up her son's room, fell to the ground and scattered all over the place.The last thought in my mind, I thought of the chicken in the plastic bag in the living room outside, but unfortunately... I haven't had time to stew it yet.Taotao has loved to eat chicken raised by his grandfather since he was a child.

Mother Liu closed her eyes, and a tear slowly fell from the corner of her eyes.

With both hands loosened, Liu Tao stared blankly at his mother who was lying motionless on the ground.The red light in his eyes faded, and he seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, looking at everything he had caused.

"I..." He withdrew his hand, knelt down, and reached out to touch his mother's face in a daze.Touching the teardrop, her finger retracted as if scalded.

[Don't kill, son, you'll go to jail. 】

Tears welled up from his eyes, and Liu Tao knelt beside his mother, howling like a beast.

"Mom?! Mom—ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Tears and snot flowed out uncontrollably, and Liu Tao let out a desperate roar.

"I'm so sad, so sad! Why are you so sad, mom? My heart is so sad, tell me why, mom, mom!" Liu Tao hugged his mother's body tightly, letting tears flow out, he was like a child , issued a howling sound.

"Don't leave me alone, don't leave me alone!" Tears were wantonly all over his face, and Liu Tao was immersed in this endless despair.

And behind him, in the corner of the room, a mass of darkness slowly appeared.

Gently licking the corner of his mouth, the monster looked at the delicacy in front of him.

Ah, brewing the most beautiful emotions, only human beings can radiate such beautiful light.

The monster slowly stretched out its hand to Liu Tao who was crying and unconscious.

Come on, give me your soul, so I can go with your mother.

forever.

"You can't touch him."

A cold voice sounded, and the monster turned around suddenly, looking at another corner of the room.

"Who?!"

A monster with horns appeared from the darkness, looking at his own kind.

"If you don't want to die, you can't devour him."

"You...you are?" The monster looked at this sudden appearance of the same kind, his body trembling uncontrollably.The instinct of fearing the strong told him to retreat, he was no match for the monster in front of him at all.

However, the greed in his nature made him reluctant to give up the delicacy in front of him.

William looked at this weak kind, with a flash of disdain in his eyes.

"The scavenger has already set his sights on you, if you don't want to be destroyed, just leave."

The monster trembled and looked at him in disbelief. "you……"

He recoiled from William's gaze. "What did you say? Why, you want to remind me."

The impatience in William's eyes grew even worse.

"Now, if you don't leave, I will kill you before the scavenger."

He did not forget Wang Chen's entrustment, but His Highness did not say that he could not kill this monster, did he?

"I understand." The monster threatened by William bowed his head respectfully, "Although I don't know why you did this, thank you for reminding me, Your Excellency."

After finishing speaking, he had disappeared into the room.

In the face of absolute power, monsters always know the times.

William glanced at the mother and child lying on the ground, then picked up Liu Tao's mobile phone on the table and dialed a number.

After a few rings, the phone was connected.

"it's me."

"You can come."

After a while, the mobile phone fell on the bed, but the monster was nowhere to be seen.

"How's the situation?" Han Se smoked one cigarette after another, and the ash piled up under his feet.

"Captain! The magic energy reaction is very obvious, that monster should have passed. Wait, something is wrong!"

"What's wrong!"

"This..." Looking at the data on the instrument, the surveillance team member said in disbelief, "The magic energy has disappeared, that monster really wants to leave."

"He's gone?" Han Se seemed to be in disbelief, with a certain emotion suppressed in his tone. "Damn it, how is it possible!"

Monsters don't swallow bait, which means that Liu Tao's family, which was abandoned by the demon squad, will probably die in vain.Even though they had long understood that this was for the sake of the overall situation, the people in the demon removal team were not hard-hearted after all.

"Team Han." Yu Ming opened the car door and came in. "There's an ambulance outside."

The members of the demon squad in the car all looked at him instantly.

"I heard that Liu Tao called his psychiatrist in a panic, and the doctor called the police. His mother... said she committed suicide."

"died?"

"I don't know yet."

There was silence in the car. For a long time, someone beat the car hard.

"Damn! These damned monsters, let me die!"

Han Se stubbed out the cigarette butt, his eyes dim.

"Send someone to the hospital to check the situation and carefully search for traces of that monster. Don't let it escape our grasp."

"team leader?"

"I'll go out to get some air." Han Se said, opened the car door and left.

Li Xu wanted to follow, but was stopped by Yu Ming.

"Don't go, let Team Han be alone." Yu Ming's face was not very good, and he held his fists on both sides restrainedly.

"Bastard!" Li Xu suddenly yelled, "Why can't we do anything? Why!"

Yu Ming glanced at him, "Because we are human beings."

Han Se left the command vehicle and took a detour to the neighborhood of Liu Tao's home.

The weather in early autumn is already a bit cold, and the wind brings coolness.Rubbing his sore eyes, Han Se remembered that he hadn't slept for two days and two nights.He wasn't the only one who didn't sleep for several days.Every member of the demon removal team has exhausted their minds for this operation.

Who knows that at the most critical time, it fell short.

not to mention……

Looking up at the neighborhood, Han Se sniffed.Turn around and hail a taxi on the side of the road.

Ten minutes later, after paying for the taxi, Han Se touched the only 10 yuan left in his pocket, took it out and counted it, and asked the little girl in the flower shop, "Do you want to sell it for 50 yuan?"

The little girl looked at Han Se who was wearing the uniform of the Demon Slayer, feeling a little disdainful in her heart.If you dress so well, why are you pretending to be poor?

But there was a wry smile of embarrassment on his face, "This is the price set by the proprietress, we can't change it casually as part-time workers."

"Oh." Han Se put away the money and walked around the flower shop again. "Are there any other cheaper flowers?"

"Who do you want to give it to? We have white lilies and carnations here..." If you can't bear it, don't buy it!The flower shop girl secretly rolled her eyes.

Captain Han saw that the cheapest ones cost 80 yuan a bunch, and couldn't help but feel troubled.It's really hard for a penny to beat a hero.

"Miss Boss." The wind chime hanging on the door rang, and a young man pushed the door open and entered.

"The bunch of flowers you gave me withered within half an hour."

"How is it possible?!" Just now she kept saying that she was just a working girl and rushed over, "It shouldn't be, I just got a new flower this morning."

Han Se looked at her playfully, "Miss Boss?"

The girl didn't seem to hear his joking tone, carefully inspecting the flowers in the young man's hand. "Hey...how did it really wither?"

The original fresh calla lily, the edges of the white petals have completely turned yellow at this time, and they have become limp and waterless.

"Miss Boss." The young man said in a steady tone, "I'm visiting a patient, so I can't send this bouquet of flowers like this."

"I, I'll change a bouquet for you right away." The girl looked at the young man's unchanged face, thinking that he was still not satisfied, and said cautiously: "Then I...give you another bouquet of carnations?"

"it is good."

The young man immediately agreed, and after holding two bouquets of flowers, he left the flower shop without saying anything.

"Wait a minute." Not long after he walked, he heard someone shouting behind him.

"Hello, can I ask you to buy that bouquet of carnations?" Han Se chased them out, a little embarrassed and said, "I don't have enough money with me, and the shopkeeper happened to give you an extra bouquet, so I just wanted to ask." You. If it's inconvenient, just take it as my liberty."

"How much are you going to pay?"

Han Se's eyes lit up, and he took out all the money in his pocket. "Fifty, I only have so much."

"make a deal."

Han Se happily thanked the carnations and left, while the young man turned around and walked to a corner not far away.

"Your Highness." The man who was waiting for him saw all of this. "Even if you are not satisfied with the bouquet of flowers just now, magic power is not for you."

"Is there any?" Wang Chen took out the 50 yuan he just earned and gave him, "According to your theory of interests, I earned this one."

Wang Chen thought for a while and said, "William, how does the calla lily taste?"

William followed his highness helplessly. He had just been ordered to use magic power to suck the life force of that bunch of calla lilies, so that Wang Chen could replace it with another bunch.

"It's not the flavor that monsters like, Your Highness."

"Really? Try another bouquet of carnations next time."

"I don't think I like carnations either," William said seriously.

"Don't be too picky about being a monster." Wang Chen said, "Let's go, go to the hospital to see our patients."

"It's prey." William corrected.

Holding a bouquet of flowers, the two monsters walked towards the hospital across the street.On the other side of the road, Han Se handed the carnations to the guard of the hospital and left in a hurry.

Han Se, who didn't have a monster recognition device, and Wang Chen, a monster rookie, just passed by.

This is the first time they meet.
