monster he just wants to be a good guy

I always feel like that kid was looking at me just now...

Old Jane thought that Lu Man was able to subdue Jian Yue by relying on his physical fitness that he had trained in the harbor for many years in the past. How could he have expected that Lu Man could fly.

"The people in your harbor... can fly." He looked at the sky and couldn't help muttering to himself.

Just at this moment, there was a loud noise from the entrance of the rooftop. After hearing the prestige, old Jane looked around, only to find that the mosquito mouthpart that was stuck in the crack of the door had pried open the door, and a strange mosquito with black and white patterns came out of the door. flew in his direction.

Lu Man also noticed the abnormality on the ground. He quickly retracted his wings and swooped down, but the distance between the mosquito monster and Old Jane was even closer. In the blink of an eye, its wings fluttered and it rushed towards Old Jane.

Seeing the sharp blood-sucking needles of the mosquitoes getting bigger and bigger in front of her eyes, Old Jane stood by the pool, with blood rushing to the top of her head, and her mind went blank.

"Get down!" Lu Man's voice came from far away in the air.

Old Jane subconsciously obeyed Lu Man's order, fell down, stabbed, and the backpack behind her was pierced by the mosquito's mouthparts. At the same time, the sound of splashing water came from behind, and a huge A shadow casts over his head.

Old Jane prostrated herself on the ground, supported the floor with her hands and looked up, and saw his daughter jumping out of the water, using her slender forelimbs to catch the menacing mosquitoes, her folded lower lip thrust out fiercely, The pliers at the front clamped the mosquito's head tightly, and the mosquito was not to be outdone, and used its front paws to forcefully break the pliers.

Just when they were at a stalemate, Lu Man finally arrived, flashed by quickly, and walked out of the old Jian who was being protected by Jian Yue.

Perhaps because there was no need to worry about the future, the two monsters entangled and wrestled together in place. After a while, the body and head of the mosquito monster were separated, and the incomplete wings fell to the ground as the end of the battle.

Old Jane was still in shock, staring blankly at Jianyue holding the corpse of the mosquito monster, she ate it with relish, it was not very good, and it fell all over the floor.

Lu Man temporarily placed Lao Jian beside him, while he went to the entrance of the rooftop, snapped the twisted and tattered door back into place, and put it back together.

Turning around, I saw that Old Jane had returned to normal. She was holding a broken broom that turned out from nowhere, and was cleaning up the crumbs that had been eaten by his daughter. She seemed to be used to it, and it was not the first time she saw her eating. look.

There was a faint smell of blood wafting from Old Jane's torn backpack, and Lu Man couldn't help but cast a second glance.

He went straight to the old Jane. Jianyue, who was eating, stopped gnawing, looked up in the direction of Lu Man, moved two steps to block between Old Jane and Lu Man, and slowly stretched out the pliers that had just been retracted. A look ready to move.

The smell of the same kind made her nervous, and Jian Yue was very wary of Lu Man, as if she was afraid that he would hurt old Jane.

Lu Man raised his hands helplessly, indicating that he was friendly and did not mean to hurt them. Old Jane, who was protected behind him, also reached out and patted Jian Yue's hind limbs, and walked out of her, standing on the side of Jian Yue. and Lu Man.

"It's all your own, don't be afraid."

Under the mediation of old Jane, Jianyue stopped her provocative behavior, took two steps back and jumped back into the pool. She sank to the bottom of the water like a stone statue, floating motionless in the water.

After cleaning up the mess, Lu Man turned his head to look at Old Jane, and the mountaineering bag with a big hole in it that he left beside him.

"Uncle Jian, what's in that bag?"

Old Jane was silent for a while, then stepped forward to pick up the bag, but it fell backwards, and something fell from inside to the ground with a clatter.

He leaned over to pick it up, lifted layer by layer the film covering it to cover up the smell, and finally revealed the dark red flesh inside, the tendons on it were still twitching, as if As if it just came off of something.

"This is..." Lu Man couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"This is the heart of the monster. I have a deal with Adjutant Chen. I will help climb the tower to release the signal. He will provide me with some hearts that are stripped from the monsters after killing them every month."

"What do you need your heart for?" Lu Man was a little puzzled.

Old Jane gritted her teeth, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This is...I want it for my daughter."

"When I was wandering, I overheard someone tell me a folk prescription, saying that the heart of a monster can heal a patient contaminated by a monster virus."

"Is it useful?" Lu Man couldn't help opening his eyes wide.He recognized it, this is what Old Jane threw into the sink before he came just now.

"I don't know... After all, it's been so many years. My daughter hasn't completely lost her mind. Maybe it's because of this folk remedy. Whether it works or not, I dare not stop. I'm afraid As soon as it stops, Xiaoyue's condition will deteriorate further, and she will never get better."

"Uncle Jian, where did you hear this folk prescription?"

"When I knew that my daughter was infected with the monster virus and became a polluter, I began to look for ways to make her recover from various channels... Later, I also exchanged supplies at a market, and when I chatted with people, I accidentally I heard it."

"Then do you know where that person is now?"

"Almost ten years have passed now, and I don't know where that person went. I just remember that he was wearing a big hood, his face could not be seen clearly, and he looked mysterious. We were in the core city at the time. What I saw around here should have rested in a safe house, of course, it is also possible... Hey, this world."

"Then what did Uncle Jian tell Adjutant Chen?"

A wry smile appeared on Old Jane's face, he sighed, his eyes a little dodged: "What else can I say? I can only lie and say... I need a heart with a stronger monster smell to make corpse ashes to cover up my own Taste."

The two fell silent.

Lu Man couldn't help thinking, if the monster's heart really helped the polluters maintain their sanity, then if Gangwan knew about it earlier, wouldn't Fan Anyang and Le Youyuan be able to return to normal sooner?

It's a pity that without what if, Lu Man can understand Lao Jian's feelings as a father.If it were him, he would not be willing to reveal the secrets related to the life and death of his relatives to others at will.

If Lu Man hadn't met him face to face this time, they might never have known in this life that in the abandoned swimming pool on the top of the tower, Old Jane raised his daughter who had alienated him into a monster here.

They watched the water quietly, and Lu Man suddenly noticed that Jian Yue, who was sinking into the water, made some unusual movements.She who was motionless before suddenly began to shake slowly, as if she was struggling to get rid of something.

The water waves swayed slightly, and the moonlight rippling on the water surface flickered. He didn't know if it was a problem with the light, but he actually saw a second head popping out from the bottom of the water.

Old Jane seemed to see Lu Man's surprise, and took the initiative to explain to him: "Don't be nervous, she's fine, it's Xiaoyue shedding her skin."

"It turns out that spiders are going to shed their skin?"

"Who told you that she was a spider." Old Jane rolled her eyes at him, "Except for water spiders, most spider eggs don't lay in water, and Xiaoyue doesn't look like a spider at all. Bar?"

"Then what monster's blood did she ingest?"

"According to my guess, Xiaoyue should have eaten the eggs laid by dragonflies in the water by mistake. The larvae of dragonflies, that is, water gnats, need to shed their skin in the water more than a dozen times before climbing out of the water and shedding the last layer. shell and become a dragonfly."

"Facts have also proved that my guess is correct. In the past 15 years, including this time, Xiaoyue has shed her skin ten times. Every time she sheds, her body will be bigger than before."

"A few more sheds, and she will be able to grow into a slim girl." Old Jane said with a soft and gratified face.

"Very good, it becomes a flying dragonfly... At that time, will Uncle Jian still place your daughter here on the rooftop? Dragonflies have wings. What if they fly away without paying attention?"

"Xiaoyue listens to me very much, she won't run around. But..." Old Jian said, the smile froze on his face, replaced by seriousness.He paced back and forth in the same place, thought for a while, then shook his head to get rid of his irrelevant thoughts.

"No, no, let me think about this again. It's okay, Lu Man, go back to sleep first, recharge your energy, and leave the tower tomorrow morning."

"Why doesn't Uncle Jian sleep?"

"I'm not sleepy yet. I'm here to blow some air and look at Xiaoyue by the way. She is relatively fragile during the moulting period. As a father, I have to accompany her."

After Lu Man went downstairs, he brought up the blanket and sleeping bag after a while, and handed the blanket to Old Jane, asking him to cover it well: "The evening wind is still a bit cold, Uncle Jian, be careful, don't catch a cold .”

Lu Man himself found a shelter from the wind on the roof, spread his sleeping bag on the ground, and rolled it casually around his body.

"Lu Man... are you going to sleep like this?"

"Yeah, it's too stuffy to sleep downstairs, and I also like to blow the wind and look at the stars."

Old Jane didn't say a word, the place would be stuffy down there, the windows were leaking air, and it was very ventilated.Lu Man was just looking for an excuse to stay with him, so that he could take care of him in time in case something unexpected happened.

"Thank you."

He took a deep look at Lu Man. The young man was resting his arms on the back of his head, looking up at the starry sky.

Lu Man smiled nonchalantly: "What are you thanking for? Instead, I want to thank Uncle Jian for taking me and teaching me."

"Actually, I haven't figured out why that kid Chen Mu gave you to me... He said you came to me to learn wild survival skills, you little baby, what are you doing learning these things?"

Hearing this, Lu Man turned his head and looked at the slightly stooped figure of Old Jane who was wearing a blanket and sitting by the pool, feeling a little dazed.

He quickly came to his senses, with a sad tone: "I'm going to look for my uncle outside the city, I don't know what kind of people I will meet there, what kind of environment I will be in, so I want to deal with similar situations in advance. Be prepared."

"Outside the city? How do you go—oh yes, I almost forgot that you can fly. Well, don't blame me for talking too much, I want to ask a few more questions, are you a polluter like my daughter? You can take it easy like this. Switching back and forth between monsters and humans, can my daughter also..."

In fact, old Jane was holding these questions in his heart, scratching his head and wanting to know the answer. He was trying to restore his daughter to her original state. When she saw Lu Man as a life-saving straw, she wanted to hold on to it.

"My situation is quite special. The two polluters I know haven't found a way to restore their human form, but they have already restored human sanity. Harbor has been studying this matter. In the future, there may be progress of."

Old Jane didn’t feel depressed because of this, but just nodded silently, and he didn’t pin his hopes on it either.Jian Yue can maintain basic communication with himself, and she can still maintain her rationality, he is already very satisfied.

Lu Man pillowed on the sound of swaying water waves and the brilliant stars twinkling in the sky, and slowly closed his eyelids.

Early the next morning, there was an empty shell of a monster floating in the pool. Jianyue, who had already shed her skin, was still a little weak. Even so, she stuck her head out of the water and rubbed her father's hand affectionately.

Old Jane kept watch all night, her eyes were dark and tired, but there was joy in her eyes.

They packed their bags and hurried downstairs while the sun was still hanging in the east. They descended thousands of steps one after another.

The two left the tower and proceeded cautiously towards the humble little house.

Suddenly Lu Man stopped and looked straight in a certain direction.

"what happened?"

Old Jane noticed that Lu Man hadn't followed her footsteps, so she turned her head and asked him in a low voice.

Lu Man frowned, the uncomfortable feeling of peeping disappeared.

"Nothing." He shook his head and followed.

Maybe it's just an illusion.

Twenty kilometers away, a man took down the binoculars in front of his face, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"I always feel that the kid was looking at me just now..."

The other skinny man next to him sneered: "How is that possible! Little boy, maybe he just saw something that caught his attention, such as a mouse, a cockroach, or something, and it was just right, that thing It just overlaps with our direction."

"Oh no, you didn't see his look just now, it doesn't look like a child's look." Just thinking about it, the fat man couldn't help but tremble all over.

"I told you that you are as strong as a bear, and less courageous than a sparrow. Don't worry about it, and report the situation to the higher-ups."

"But I still feel that something is wrong..."

"Tsk, don't scare yourself, look, they've already gone far away. If you don't go, I'll go, give me the communicator." The thin man snatched the communicator from the fat man's grip.

Two beeps, connected.

Even with the communicator on, the thin man still smiled obsequiously: "Hey, yes, yes, report to the director, everything is going well, and the operation can proceed as usual."
