Dark Contractor

Pretty tough. asked the familiar, jumping on his shoulder, and Alexis dodged his long tail.

"It's heavy, Lucius."

"No way!"

"It's too big to be a familiar. But he's brave enough to resist me."

"Do you want to beat him!?"

"The more difficult the other party is, of course the more I want to kill him!" Because Alec said it as if nothing had happened, Lucius panicked instead.

It would be fine if the other party intentionally harmed him, but that was not the case. Lucius hated hurting others for no reason.

"I advise you to surrender obediently. This man is cruel." Lucius desperately persuaded Yuesheng to surrender.

"I don't intend to be easily defeated by you little brat. You should be the ones to escape with your tails between your legs, right?" the young man announced in a smooth pronunciation, staring at Alexis with determination, his eyes seemed to want to pierces the depths of the soul.

Now that the store was surrounded by the new barrier created by Alexis, it should be difficult for the young man to even stand, but he still didn't change his awe-inspiring posture, and didn't even show a look of pain.

"Hey, Alec, let's go back. Don't stay here for long." Lucius said in a coquettish voice that was different from the past.

"Okay, please go back."

"You can't go home empty-handed."

"So, do you want to take medicine?"

The young man is still very calm, neither humble nor overbearing.As long as the demons I met in the past had a glimpse of Alexis's power, they either begged for mercy, or wanted to escape, or challenged themselves head-on...it couldn't be one of them.Demons with such an awe-inspiring attitude are rare.

"I'm going to get Richards' migraine medicine."

"I've got that medicine ready to put on the back shelf. I've already paid for the medicine, please take it away."

Lucius made a show, the cat went to the shelf to find the paper bag, and returned to Alexis with its mouth.

"So your work is over?"

"Not yet. Although Richards' business is done, my goal has not been achieved yet."

"..."

"Did I say it? I want to kill things that harm humans. If you don't want to die, just resist. Even if you have a pathetic demon nature, I won't be so unreasonable." Alexis touched the youth without shame. Ivory cheeks.

As if being touched by something hot, the young man suddenly trembled.

……what?

Because the reaction was too obvious, the young man himself couldn't hide his shock.The previous calmness suddenly collapsed, and Alexis easily deduced that this phenomenon was not what the other party expected.

"Just now was..." His dazed, trance-like tone was undefended, and the gap between him and just now surprised Alexis.

"Just now, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Maybe he was still shaking, and his tone hadn't recovered yet.

Doesn't this young man know his own demonic nature?In this way, it is not difficult to understand the part that she is not afraid of Alexis's power at all, and has no clue about her true face.Even the attack method is only physical means such as a knife, and it doesn't look like a demon at all.

In that case...

"Hey."

"What?" The moment he looked up, Alexis punched him in the heart.With a low groan, he fell towards Alexis.

"You, what are you going to do, Alec?" Lucius felt embarrassed when Alexis made a move.Maybe he just thought he wanted to knock down the young man on the spot and make him swear to obey.

"What should I do? Take him back."

"Huh? Bring such a big one back?" Facing Lucius' disgusted voice from the bottom of his heart, Alexis nodded.

"It's your job to move him."

"Here we go again...Alexis, you're always messing around with 'people'."

"Are you a 'demon', Lucius?" Alexis smiled, looking down at the beautiful young man who was powerlessly leaning on him.

"...Isn't it too much for him to be a familiar? For a demon...he's a bit weird."

Thanks to the conversation just now, he can probably guess why Lucius said the young man was strange.

The information Lucius obtained from the demons was very strange, and one of them mentioned that the vampires were under someone's order and were looking for a lost child.

"What do you like about this guy? The face?"

"Yeah... kind of like it." Alexis said softly, brushing her shiny black hair with her fingertips.

The time called "the past".That is something that all people—no, not just people, as long as they are living beings have them.From this young man, it seemed that Alexis could find the long-lost days.

Knowing that even looking back, nothing can be redeemed.

"Huh?" Lucius asked, and Alexis shook her head slightly.There's no point in explaining this, it's just a waste of time.

"It's nice to have a hummer once in a while."

"If you are kicked to death by it, there should be nothing to complain about."

"Do I look like such a weak man?"

It was all lost in the beginning.Anyway, I have nothing left, so it is meaningless to project my shadow on other people.Even so, Alexis must continue hunting demons in order to atone for her sins.And this beautiful young man became Alexis's hated, but at the same time, extremely beloved night-time entourage.

Ⅲ Dark Oath

The original memory is always red.

Full of blood is the origin of everything.

From this choking red hell, Yue Sheng's memory suddenly opened the prelude.The young Yuesheng couldn't speak yet, surrounded by the red space, it seemed that she was about to be crushed to death.

……help me!No matter how you call, no one will come to help. It's scary.

The memory is interrupted here again.The days that followed were like Yuesheng's life after arriving in London, very smooth.

Yuesheng has no memory of that time at all.It's like everything just faded from my mind.Only the bright red color that can't be shaken off from the field of vision left a vivid impression in Yuesheng's mind.

When is that memory?Was it when you were just sensible?Or when you were just born?Knowing that no matter how much you think about it, it's useless, you still can't stop thinking about it.Regardless of the facts, does the fact that the memory begins here indicate that I was born with some terrible sin?

This question has been pressing on Yue Sheng's shoulders, it is a heavy burden that cannot be lifted.Maybe I am a child that should not have been born?Yuesheng's background and the surrounding environment all truthfully tell this point.

Yuesheng was born in China, before he was sensible, he was picked up by his British adoptive parents who went to do business there... that's what he heard.His parents showed him a piece of yellowed and worn-out paper that was placed in a basket with the baby, with "Cui Yuesheng" written on it.The pronunciation of the word "Yuesheng" is known only after asking the local people.

The two of them loved Yue Sheng very much, and after their term of office ended, they brought him back to Europe together.Because of this reason, Yuesheng has no memory of living in China at all, but only remembers the days when his adoptive parents raised him in England.

I'm an abandoned child, maybe it's a lie.Yue Sheng has been holding this question all the time, asking his parents many times, but they will only say repeatedly: "You picked it up." They don't answer his question at all.The adoptive parents who love Yuesheng always seem to be afraid of something when they are alive.It was also the parents who taught Yuesheng how to make amulets and set up enchantments.

At first glance, why do two people who have no connection with the technique know how to use the amulet?They once persuaded Yuesheng to return to China after they died, but Yuesheng couldn't leave the grave of his parents and abandon this country.

I am not alone.Because of his parents, let Yuesheng actually experience this matter.At least the first decade or so was full of warm and soft memories.

...But, he really wanted to know.

What does that day refer to, and who will come to greet me?What were the parents afraid of when they were alive?He didn't have the courage to find out actively, but wanted to wait for that day to come.

"Hmm..." Yue Sheng turned over and gently opened her eyes.The room was a little dark, and the clean linen on the bed smelled slightly of paste.The moss-green wallpaper is painted with patterns of vines, which feels very stable, but has a dark impression.

where is thisYue Sheng thought about it, thought of what happened in the store just now, and suddenly got up.

correct.Someone broke the barrier he had set up with an amulet and let a man named "Alec" break in.

Thanks to Marquis Anderson's care, the customers in Yuesheng's store are all fine.The Marquess is deeply trusted by Her Majesty the Queen and, as such, has a good relationship with the Church of England.

Originally thought that such involvement could be his backing, but it seemed that he was still too naive.

...The man asked, who are you?

Is there anyone who can answer this question?Is it possible to be a human being as long as you remain human?

From the time he was young, Yuesheng was surrounded by demons and goblins.Although he is very afraid of seeing heretics lurking in the dark, Yue Sheng is even more afraid that others will mistakenly think that he is possessed by a demon, and he can't even tell his adoptive parents.

However, one day he suddenly understood everything.I'm not like everyone else.It is a simple but terrifying fact that it violates the destiny of man.

It seems that Yuesheng no longer remembers her own age.There is also a reason for wrapping one's face to live.Although my parents are getting old, I don't know when it started
