After awakening the evil god, it was marked

Yan Hui barely stopped, his chest rose and fell violently, and he took a few deep breaths before his breathing returned to normal.

Yan Zhijin asked the shopkeeper, "Can we go to the room now?"

"Of course." The shopkeeper didn't seem to react, he hesitated for a while before saying, "I'll show you the way."

"No, let's go up by ourselves." Yan Zhijin said to Shen Zhiyu, "You can continue chatting, I'm tired, I'll go up and rest first."

"Oh...you have a good rest." Shen Zhiyu said cautiously.

Yan Zhijin dragged his luggage, pulled Yan Hui, and walked straight to the elevator.

The decoration inside the hotel is the same as downstairs, quiet and elegant, very personal style of the owner, freshly picked flowers are placed in the room.

Yan Zhijin is an expert in snakes, but he is not proficient in flowers. He just thinks that this white flower looks light, but the fragrance of the flower is extraordinarily sweet and greasy, which is a bit disharmonious.

Ever since Yan Zhijin asked him to "shut up", Yan Hui didn't speak again, and when he entered the room, he just silently helped Yan Zhijin tidy up the daily necessities in the box, and sat watching him.

Yan Zhijin said: "Your room is on the opposite side. When everyone comes back after dinner, you should go back there first, and then find a chance to come over."

Yan Hui let out a "hmm".

Yan Zhijin said: "According to Edward's personality, he should arrange the dinner more grandly. I don't have much appetite. Then you will accompany me back early."

Yan Hui continued to nod.

Yan Zhijin exhaled slowly and said, "Fang Mian seems to have some good news."

"Ah."

"The western diamond rattlesnake I saw today is very beautiful. I'm going to ask someone to get one."

"Hmm... no!" Yan Hui raised his head abruptly, protesting fiercely.

Yan Zhijin raised the corner of his mouth, patted the empty space beside him, and ordered: "Change back, come here."

Yan Hui turned back into a snake shape according to his words, crawled rustlingly to the side of the bed, raised his upper body, and looked at him with his neck shaking.

Yan Zhijin hugged his neck, picked up most of his body and put it on the bed.

Yan Hui nimbly wrapped his tail around his arm, and the whole snake clung to him.

Yan Zhijin didn't care about the snake's tail wrapped around his arm that might oppress the blood flow, leaned against the head of the bed, patted the snake's head like coaxing a child, and said, "Are you sad?"

The tip of the snake's tail hesitantly made a bend, slipped loosely from his arm, and hung listlessly on the bed, only the tail still hooked his wrist.

The snake coiled around his body aimlessly, and finally buried its head on the back of his neck, arched the soft flesh of the back of his neck, and said, "No."

"I don't like what he said." Yan Zhijin lay on his side, arched his back, and took the soft and dry snake body into his arms.

The snake touched the back of his neck again, and said dully: "But what he said is true."

Yan Zhijin insisted: "It doesn't mean that I have to like it."

His neck was cold, and he couldn't help shivering all over.

The snake is touching his glands gently with the letter.

"Why?" asked the snake, perplexed. "Disaster, violence, and death are things that everyone hates. Why don't you like what he said?"

"..." Yan Zhijin pursed the corners of his lips, and his eyes were clouded with mist, "Because I know that these are not terrible."

"What's the matter with you?" The snake seemed to be aware of his abnormality, and wanted to turn around to look at him.

Yan Zhijin held his neck to prevent him from turning his head, suppressed the tears that were about to well up, and stated in a calm tone as much as possible: "I have liked snakes since I was very young."

The first time he saw that animal from the encyclopedia, he was amazed.

"However, it's not a popular preference."

Most children of the same age prefer softer animals.

Both Yan Tingxue and Shen Chengfeng are enlightened parents. When he was at home, he never realized that he was different from other people.

It wasn't until he went out to school that he excitedly picked up the little snake that strayed into the campus, that he realized that his preferences were so different from ordinary people.

"They would whisper behind my back, point and point, and when I appeared, they deliberately made movements of fear and avoidance. They said in private that I would manipulate poisonous snakes, and that I was an evil and terrifying wizard, and that they would be cursed if they provoked me. I know they are afraid of me and the snake in my hand."

The snake's muscles tightened, and each scale was shiny: "I killed them..."

Yan Zhijin patted his head to keep him still: "But they are just ordinary snakes. They don't understand human language, they don't have as complicated emotions and social networks as humans, and their frightening venom is just self-defense. and tools for predation. In fact, they are just a fragile life.

"At that time, I would think, why everyone should be afraid of them, even to the point of being the first to kill them. Obviously, all animals have ways to protect themselves.

"But I don't want to blame them. Maybe it's because humans didn't have a way to deal with venom a long time ago, so this vigilance was engraved into the genes, making it easier for humans to fear them.

"But I still... feel sorry for them. Humans are always more prone to pity the weak, but when it comes to snakes, this instinct often seems to fail. When a cat plays with a snake, people clap their hands for it , and when a snake hangs a cat, they feel sorry for the cat. I know it's because they like cats better, but I like snakes better. I'm also partial to my favorite animals.

"Compared with other people's narration, I still believe in my own judgment. Different positions, different experiences, and even the innate conditions of each individual will determine their conclusions about things. The demon passed on by others may be just an ordinary snake."

Snake sighed softly, and said in a daze, "But I... I'm really not a good person."

He smiled: "I'm not weak, and I don't deserve sympathy."

He said: "I don't have a painful experience. I am born to represent chaos, impulsiveness, extreme emotions and arbitrary behavior. I mean, I am not forced to be like this, I am born like this."

"Yes," Yan Zhijin replied bluntly, "but it doesn't mean anything."

He hugged the snake tightly: "I don't want my snake to be wronged without doing anything wrong."

The snake walked quietly and slowly in the dim light until it completely enveloped him. The seemingly soft body hides an inescapable power.

Yan Hui murmured in a low voice: "It would be great if you could keep like this."

The author has something to say:

When I was young, I was considered abnormal because I liked to read mystery novels.

So sleepy, a little short, lifted the lid of the pot and hid under the bed.
