Judgment

From a very young age, she always had a nightmare.

In the dream, the wild laughter of men and women, entangled limbs, filled it like lingering evil spirits.

She could only look at their waving bodies and happy expressions, but she was like a prisoner in captivity who couldn't move, couldn't dodge, and... couldn't reach them.

Derived from the bottom of my heart, besides disgust, gradually there are other things.

Are you really that happy?

Can the happiness brought by this desire wipe away all the pain?Can you forget all the hatred and sorrow?

you want to know

A voice said to her from the bottom of her heart.

Then give it a try.

-----------------------------------

"There is still no news about Zhang Minmin's mother."

In the room, the two demons are gathering together.

"The people in the store where she worked said that she hasn't seen her back since she went out that day." Liu Tao was a little distressed, "wouldn't the clues be broken?"

"If Zhang Minmin's death is really related to her, she is probably hiding somewhere, and the police must be looking for her now." Wang Chen said: "If you can't find her in person, you can find her through someone else."

"other people?"

"Look up which men she has been in contact with, and then ask her one by one."

"What? It's still so troublesome—" Liu Tao was complaining, but then he noticed William's face, and immediately changed his words: "—No matter how troublesome it is, I will do it! I'll go ask her the person in the original shop and see her I've been in contact with those men recently."

After a while, Liu Tao ran over again and said excitedly, "If you don't ask, you don't know. If you ask, you will be shocked! This Zhu Hui is Zhang Minmin's mother. I heard that she is going to get married soon! I am going to ask about this plan." The man who married her must know something!"

"Boss, I'm leaving first!"

After speaking, he ran out of the room in a hurry.Within a few seconds, there was a loud bang of the door being tightly shut downstairs, and the faint sound of Liu Tao walking away happily.

In the suddenly quiet room, William frowned slightly.

"You have reminded him so much before he found out about this. Are you sure this human can really work?"

Wang Chen said: "The bait doesn't need to be very capable, as long as it can attract people's attention. At least this point, Liu Tao has always done a good job."

William agreed: "According to the movement of his investigation, the people involved in the incident must have noticed him."

He handed Wang Chen a coat.

"Your Highness, it's time for us to go."

Wang Chen got up, "Yes, you can't let the prey bite the bait and run away."

It has just rained outside, and the weather is a little cool.

Walking on the road, there are half fewer pedestrians than usual.Wang Chen did not let William use his ability to teleport to his destination, but chose to go there on foot.

"The other party is likely to take action, please be careful."

William reminded that the other party in his mouth naturally refers to another monster that secretly manipulated this matter.

"William, who do you think did this? Have we offended any monsters?"

"All candidates other than you are your enemies." William replied, "And your status as a candidate has already offended many monsters."

"Then who do you think is the most suspect? Could it be the monster that confronted us in Zhen Zhi's incident?" Wang Chen asked, "You said before that he is also a candidate for the throne."

At the same time, one of the candidates who was still obediently staying in the "night" sneezed hard.

"It won't be him."

William vetoed it. "That is a cautious candidate. He knows that I am supporting you, and he will not dare to attack you easily."

"...Do you know him too well, or are you too confident in yourself?"

"To be honest, it's both. But I don't think it's a bad thing to have confidence in your own strength, Your Highness." William looked at the young candidate in front of him, "As long as you don't leave me at will, it's impossible Injured by other monsters."

"Then it would be better to find a chain to tie me up."

William nodded. "If possible, I really hope to be able to do that. You can't move, you can only stay by my side obediently."

"..."

In an instant, Wang Chen's face turned pale.

The next second, I heard William say again:

"Of course it was just a joke. I will not do anything against your will, Your Highness."

"...You can remind me next time you joke around, William."

"Okay, if you do the same in the future." The monster steward replied gracefully.

The young candidate finally understands that it is really not advisable to tease a senior and powerful monster.William must be taking revenge for teasing him a few days ago.

The vengeance of monsters is really not to be underestimated, almost as strong as their possessiveness.

Wang Chen deeply understood this truth, and thought that if he wanted to make fun of William next time, he had better be more cautious.

William on the side observed His Highness's expression and pursed his lips slightly.

"—However, I have some guesses about who is provoking you this time."

Wang Chen turned to look at him.

"Do you still remember the monster that visited the door last time?"

Wang Chen thought for a while, "Is that the one who wanted to poach my corner and abduct you?"

The corners of William's mouth twitched slightly, and he continued without changing his expression: "His master is a powerful candidate, and is recognized as one of the three candidates most likely to inherit the throne, Ji Xuan."

"Dongfang's surname?" Wang Chen was curious.

"The names of the monsters are different. I hope you can pay attention to what I said, Your Highness."

"Yes, please continue."

"Ji Xuan is famous not only for his strength, but also for his personality among monsters." William's expression was a little subtle. "In human terms, he is very narrow-minded, and he will retaliate. Last time I rejected his solicitation, and you killed one of his subordinates not long ago, which made him hate us."

"Wait, when did I provoke his subordinates?"

"The monster you devoured is Ji Xuan's follower."

Wang Chen suddenly realized. "So you're saying that this petty candidate is now against me because of these things?"

"Exactly, Your Highness."

"...William." The young candidate turned to look at his monster steward and trainer. "Tell me the truth, did you include me when you said just now that you will be punished?"

William remained silent.

Seeing this, Wang Chen smiled slightly.

"This Ji Xuan, first wanted to snatch you away, and then sent someone to attack my pet."

If Liu Tao were here, he would definitely cry with joy, his status has finally risen a little bit from the grain reserve.

"Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I don't teach him a lesson?" Wang Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Let him know about the things that move other demons, it will not end well."

William finally responded, "I will say this after you run out of food, it will be more convincing, Your Highness."

A young monster who has not completely cut off human food, saying that he is going to teach a powerful candidate for the throne, is really a bit overconfident.

"William, do you know what the role of a butler is?"

William remained silent.

Wang Chen patted him on the shoulder, "So, I'll leave it to you to teach the monsters who are overwhelmed."

"...Happy to serve you, Your Highness."

It was getting late, and the street lights were on.

The shadows left by the two monsters on the ground looked no different from humans.

"By the way, William, the three strongest candidates you mentioned earlier..."

"It's a pity you weren't there."

"..." Wang Chen felt slightly depressed.

On the unobtrusive ground, William's shadow slowly revealed a smile.

On the head of his shadow, a pale, frightening slender slit opened.If this can also be counted as a smile, isn't the dedicated monster steward just gloating at this time?

Boo, boo.

Liu Tao knocked on the door, straightened his clothes and waited.

No one came out?He took another step forward and knocked on the door.

Da da, da da, da da, da da, da da da da, da da!

It was almost time to knock on the door to hear the sound of famous songs handed down from generation to generation, but there was still no response from inside.Liu Tao was surprised, this is dinner time, most people would not go out.In the mood of trying, he turned the doorknob.

Can't move.

Liu Tao pushed the door, "I just said, how could it be such a coincidence that the door opened..."

With a creak, the immovable door was pushed open by him.Liu Tao didn't use much strength, and the door opened very slowly.It seemed that there was an invisible person hiding in the dark to open the door for him.

Touching the goosebumps popping out of his arms, Liu Tao took a cautious step towards the door.

"Hello, is there anyone?"

anyone there?

person?

……

Damn, what kind of haunted house is this, there is still an echo!Liu Tao shivered for a moment, then comforted himself.Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I've been in the same room with two devils for so long, what are the ghosts afraid of!What a ghost, just call out when the time comes, boss save me!

Hmph, even those little ghosts are definitely not the opponent of the boss, the big ghost.

Liu Tao acted boldly and continued to walk into the house.

Gradually, he felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.It was so quiet, as if even time and space were frozen.Not even the clock on the wall made the slightest sound.

"Hey, hello, is anyone here?"

No one answered, only the surrounding darkness seemed to be mocking him, becoming more dense and noisy.

kindness?noisy?Wasn't it still very quiet just now?

Liu Tao turned around abruptly, and suddenly saw a person standing behind the door.

The man didn't make a sound, just stared at him quietly, quietly, with those swarthy eyes.

"Wow—!" Liu Tao ran towards the window, but he didn't dare to walk by the door, because that weird figure was still standing there motionless.

However, as soon as he walked to the window, a severe pain suddenly came from the back of his head!Liu Tao clutched the back of his head in pain, but it didn't help. The people in ambush by the window continued to beat him hard on the head.He could even hear the sound of his skull being crushed, the slight cracking sound.

Blood gurgled down from his forehead, and Liu Tao vaguely saw a figure through the red patch.

"……It's you……"

he said, and dropped his arms limply.

Last quote:

The woman tidied up her makeup and returned to the shop as if nothing had happened.

"It's raining so hard outside, where are you going?" Someone greeted her.

She smiled slightly, "Go out and get some air."

"Hey? Where did you go to pick up such a broken doll?" A companion picked up the broken puppet that fell under her feet, and said in disgust, "It's so dirty."

It was a dilapidated puppet doll. Not only were its limbs incomplete, but even the parts on its head were scattered.Such a broken doll, looking at it makes people feel disgusted...and fearful.

"Which kid's prank." She didn't take it seriously, took the puppet, and threw it far away from the window.

As night fell, the people who were looking for fun hugged each other one after another, making ambiguous murmurs.

Women are also immersed in the pleasure of desire and indulge themselves.

The hot air exhaled by men and women as they groaned condensed into fog on the cold windows.The mist turns into various shapes, like a devil with teeth and claws.

No one noticed that there was a pair of red eyes outside the window, staring closely at the woman on the bed.

A tattered puppet, leaning against the window unsteadily.
