[Comprehensive Horror Tour] Just a Game

After the last live broadcast, this voice of doubt gradually disappeared.

Recalling EASY's last live broadcast, Lian Xiang couldn't help but look sympathetically at the little girl next to her who was a little relaxed because she had confirmed her identity—Jian Ning didn't seem to mind Lian Xiang's previous concealment behavior, even in After exchanging names, they affectionately called her "Sister Lian".

I remember that more than a year ago, EASY was already ill when it was the first and last live broadcast.But the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl wore an exaggerated woolen hat to cover her bald head due to chemotherapy, half of her face was covered by a mask, and she also had a large striped hospital gown.

And now that she and herself appear in the reincarnation game, does that mean...

"Sister Lian," Jian Ning's soft voice interrupted Lian Xiang's distraction, "I want to go to Luo Te next, what do you think?" After confirming that Lian Xiang is an ally—and she is more experienced than her Many allies—afterwards, Jian Ning's courage seemed to grow a lot.Half a minute ago, she was shivering in the corner because she was afraid of the scissorhands, but now she seemed to have found a way to deal with Bobby.

"Well, that's what I planned too." Lian Xiang involuntarily glanced at the little girl who was sticking to her side, and replied.Anyway, she is just a little girl who just finished junior high school and dropped out of school due to illness.

"Jianning," Lian Xiang prefers her original name to "EASY", "Have you ever played "Clock Tower 1"?"

At this time, the two stepped up and left the living room, went up to the second floor and followed the direction where Rott left to find his trace.I don't know in which direction Roter fled, but seeing the mess in the corridor on the second floor, the vases that were originally used for decoration were all broken, it is not difficult to guess what happened to this place a few minutes ago .

Fortunately, before Rot took the initiative to jump out of the avoidance area to attract the attention of Scissorhands, Lian Xiang stuffed a self-made amulet into his pocket.So now she can be sure that Rott is still alive.

Jian Ning shook her head obediently, and replied, "I've only heard of this game, it seems to be a very classic horror game a long time ago. As for the others," she looked away embarrassedly, and moved her fingers Looking at the notebook, playing with the smooth pages of the book over and over again, "I even know the general plot from the book Mr. Devil gave me."

Lian Xiang frowned.The name Jian Ning said aroused her vigilance, "Mr. Demon?" She asked tentatively.

"Well," Jian Ning said calmly, "the person who made the contract with me calls himself 'Mr. Devil'. He said that as long as I can survive the reincarnation of the game, I can...he will realize my promise." wish." As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and pulled the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly, "But I'm still too useless, I clearly want to realize my wish greedily, but in fact, I have the courage to take one step timidly. None." She let out a breath and turned to Lian Xiang, "Fortunately, I met you, sister Lian, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."

Lian Xiang's pace unconsciously slowed down by half a minute.Jian Ning's seemingly plain words, but the amount of information contained in them made her fall into an indescribable complex emotion.

Make a contract with the devil?Wish come true?This silly girl... the devil is a creature that symbolizes falsehood and deceit. How could it be possible for her to help her realize her wish? !

For a while, Lian Xiang wanted to tell all the truth he knew.She wanted the little girl to understand that the so-called "devil" can only bring despair and pain to people.

"Anyway, I have already experienced the worst thing in my life. It is better to have such an opportunity than to leave with regret."

At this moment, the little girl walking beside her tried her best to say these sentences in an understatement tone.

Standing half a step behind her, Lian Xiang suddenly felt that his heart was completely filled with some kind of bitter emotion.

Actually they are all the same.She is struggling to survive in the horror game, isn't it also for such a humble wish of being able to "live"?Knowing that no matter what kind of ending she gets in the game, the fact of continuous reincarnation cannot be changed, but she is just not reconciled.

Since we have the opportunity to achieve Consummation, why should we passively bear the pain that could have been avoided?

Following this wish from her heart, she has come all the way to the present.

Before falling into this never-ending reincarnation, she was just an ordinary person with innocence in her arms.

"If it's an extremely important wish, then what's the reason why you can't go on?"

Hearing her self-talking voice, Jian Ning turned around in confusion.Afterwards, the little girl seemed to think of something that could warm her heart, and shyly showed a gentle smile.

The two walked for a while in the empty and dark corridor, and soon arrived at another hall constructed with the living room.The traces of destroying the decorations have completely disappeared here.

Lian Xiang touched the amulet that was still in her pocket, and there was a comforting warmth in the small paper bag, which made her feel a little relieved.At present, this is the only evidence she can confirm that Rot is still alive.

"What should we do, Luo Te, he will be fine..." Jian Ning whispered beside him.She fiddled with the pages of her notebook anxiously, as if hoping to find the answer she expected from it.

Seeing her restless appearance, Lian Xiang couldn't help but say, "Calm down. There is an unwritten rule in the Clock Tower series of games, 'As long as you don't see a character's death scene, then this character will be killed." It must be safe'." At the same time, she tried her best to recall the details of the game, hoping to find some useful clues.

At this moment, Jian Ning tugged at her sleeve.Then she raised her arm and pointed to the direction of the first floor, "Sister Lian, look!" Afraid of being discovered by the other party, she still lowered her voice.

Lian Xiang followed her and hid behind the railing on the second floor.Looking through the gap between the railings, she saw the back of a familiar woman in the lobby on the first floor: golden brown curly hair, wearing a decent gray women's suit.That's Miss Mary!

Miss Mary, who has been in a state of disappearance since the beginning of the plot, reappears here!

Notre Dame 3

Mary looked around furtively, as if afraid of being discovered.Then she carefully took out a key from her pocket, unlocked the door in front of her and walked into the room.

"It's Miss Mary!" Seeing Mary's figure disappearing from the eyes of the two, Jian Ning kept tugging at Lian Xiang's sleeve excitedly, "Sister Lian, let's hurry up and see what she wants to do!"

Lian Xiang glanced at her indifferently, making Jian Ning, who was in a noisy state, silent for an instant. "We, don't you want to... have a look?" Realizing that she was getting carried away due to being too excited, Jian Ning withdrew her hand in confusion, not forgetting to secretly observe Lian Xiang's expression.

Lian Xiang stood up, supported the railing with both hands and scanned the general situation in the hall on the first floor before replying, "Of course it is necessary to take a look." She turned her head and looked at Jian Ning who was eager to try , narrowing his eyes and laughing, "But, it's 'I', not 'we'."

Her words made Jian Ning's high emotions wither instantly like a plant short of water. She looked at the door Mary left in puzzlement, then looked up at Lian Xiang who straightened up, and asked in disbelief, "Lian Sister, are you...are you going to abandon me and act on your own?" Before she could answer, she grabbed Lian Xiang's sleeve again and explained anxiously, "Sister Lian, I know I don't have much experience, but I It won't drag you down, so can you..."

Falling into the fear of being abandoned again, Jian Ning panicked.

"Calm down." Lian Xiang raised his hand and touched the little girl's head, "Think about it as a puzzle in a game, think about it."

Her performance in the live can be regarded as smart.It's just a pity that after entering the game, the brain was muddled by the depressive environment and the inexplicable atmosphere, and even the most basic thinking ability was completely abandoned.

Jian Ning fell silent, and she turned her gaze to the place where Miss Mary disappeared.After a while, a word came out softly from her mouth, "Sister Lian, you are worried that this is a trap, right?"

That's right.If someone who doesn't know, meets Miss Mary again after encountering the scissorhands, he will definitely take off his guard against her.At that time, Miss Mary can use the other party's mentality to lay a trap and become the most powerful accomplice of the devil twins.Unfortunately, what Mary didn't know was that among the two orphans she adopted this time, two of them were people who knew the inside story of the Barrows family.

After trying to understand the cause and effect, Jian Ning was even more puzzled by Lian Xiang's choice, "Why did you take the initiative to send it to your door when you knew it was probably a trap?"

Lian Xiang explained, "Because the door needs a key to open it. She opened the door for us. If we don't check the situation at this time, how long are we going to wait?" Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is a trap.But in the world view of horror games, behind a locked door, there must be a room of great significance.

"I see..." Jian Ning lowered her head, her hands firmly grasping the fence surrounding the corridor on the second floor, "Sister Lian means that we are going to split up, right?"

Lian Xiang's task is to enter the room to check, so what she has to do is to find Roth when Mary meets him, and tell him the truth about the Burrows family.Rott will take the initiative to hide when he meets Scissorhands, but if he meets Mary, the ending of the unsuspecting Rott may be worse than meeting Scissorhands head-on.

She knows... She can understand all these worldly truths!But when she thought that she had to walk alone in this gloomy big house, and the terrifying scissorhands would appear in front of her at any time with his giant scissors stained with more than a lot of blood, Jian Ning immediately felt that His heart beat faster by more than an eight beats.

"I..." She wanted to bravely tell Lian Xiang that she was fine, but her white knuckles from holding the railing too hard still exposed the emotions she wanted to hide in her heart.

Lian Xiang looked at Jian Ning who was squatting in front of her and wanted to shrink herself into a ball, and suddenly understood her scruples.She could feel that Jianning was afraid.Because she was too scared, she lost the courage to take a step.

She held the corner of her mouth bitterly. After all, not everyone can be like her. As long as she rationally mutters "No good things will happen if you stay where you are", you can bite the bullet and move on.

"In comparison, you are more unfortunate than me. You must be very scared to escape from the horror hotel 626 alone?" Lian Xiang looked down at the little girl who was trembling with fear, and said softly, "But You are also much luckier than me. Only in the second world, you can meet me who is also in a similar reincarnation."

Jian Ning looked up at her, then hurriedly avoided her gaze, raised the back of her hand and wiped her face.

"However, as long as this game is over, we will leave this world and go to the next game. Not to mention the masters who control the game, even we ourselves don't know when the next meeting will be. Before that , you’re bound to go through situations where one also has to move forward.”

"At that time, what should we do?"

Lian Xiang bent down, patted Jian Ning on the shoulder, and then put the amulet he had prepared into her palm, "I know that the emotion of 'fear' cannot be overcome. But there is no time to waste , once Mary leaves that room, we might lose our chance to have a happy ending. I have to go, and you can think about it here alone."

Finally, she leaned close to Jian Ning's ear and whispered, "Don't forget, Rot is still waiting for you to tell him the truth."

After speaking, Lian Xiang stood up and walked towards the stairs.

Jian Ning has been squatting in the same place, she watched Lian Xiang's figure go down the stairs, all the way to the door where Mary disappeared.

The brown-haired girl held the doorknob, as if taking a deep breath, pushed the door open and walked into the room.

The door closed slowly, completely isolating the figure she had regarded as her reliance in another space.

Jian Ning lowered her eyelashes blankly.The small paper bag was placed in her palm, exuding a slight warmth.

That door leads to a deep corridor.On one side of the corridor are windows.There is no lighting in the corridor, and we can only rely on the faint skylight penetrating into the castle from a few windows on the side of the corridor.Lian Xiang walked to the window and took a look, and found that outside the window was the atrium of the manor.I have to admit that the Barros family is indeed rich. The courtyard itself occupies a huge area, filled with various flowers and plants, and there is a swimming pool in the center of the courtyard.It's a pity that the night was dim, and it was impossible to see the situation in the pool clearly.

There are no other forks in the corridor. You only need to walk along this corridor for about half a minute, and you will arrive at the destination at the end of the corridor.

The door was made of metal, with a keyhole and a handle.What is incomprehensible is that the door has a narrow trapezoidal window, which can only be opened from the outside.Lian Xiang originally wanted to try to observe the situation inside the room from the movable window, but he did not expect that the window was completely stuck due to rust and could not be used at all.

So, Mary's destination is here?What is she doing here?

Lian Xiang squinted her eyes, thinking that she would soon confront Mary, so she routinely wanted to write the spell on her palm in advance for self-protection.But at this moment, there was a sound of glass breaking behind him.She turned her head suddenly, and saw a hunchbacked dwarf dressed in gray nimbly jumping from the atrium garden through the window into the corridor. The huge pair of scissors opened and closed in his hands, like a signal of death.

As if knowing that she had nowhere to escape, Bobby Scissorhands didn't rush to her right away, but slowly approached her.It seems that the long years of hunting career have taught him how to enjoy the fun of hunting more. He clearly knows what to do to wear down the will of the prey little by little, watching them gradually fall into despair.

Seeing Bobby's limping walking posture with his own eyes, Lian Xiang felt like laughing instead.She breathed a sigh of relief in an instant.There is only one Scissorhands, and now that he appears here, it proves in disguise that both Luo Te and Jian Ning are safe.

Since none of them are here, she doesn't need to hide her abilities.Thinking in this way, Lian Xiang silently recited the mantra, and the mantra originally printed on her palm suddenly separated from the skin of her palm like a living thing.The characters exploded in the air like fireworks, turning into several flame-like flying birds.To describe it more specifically, the appearance of this bird is somewhat similar to that of a crow.

Surrounded by flames, the crow spread its wings and rushed straight in the direction of the scissorhands.Bobby subconsciously raised the scissors to cover the fire crows flying around him.But the birds were nimble, and from time to time seized the opportunity to peck the skin exposed by the scissors' hands with their hot beaks.Scissorhands screamed in pain, he gave up the cover, and directly poked the Fire Crow closest to him with the tip of the knife.

Seeing that the tip of the scissors was about to hit the target, Bobby staggered a little, and then fell straight to the ground.

Lian Xiang stood in place.Along with the scattered gravel, the second charm turned into green smoke in her palm.

She knew that Bobby, who was the incarnation of the devil's curse, could not be killed by ordinary methods, so using flames was just a stopgap measure, the purpose was to distract him.The point is to use heavy objects to attack the fragile back of the head to make it unconscious-in the game, the most common way for players to temporarily escape the scissorhands' pursuit is to knock him unconscious.

The fire crow had completed its task at this moment, and quickly dissipated into the air, leaving only a wisp of burnt green smoke.

Disdainfully kicking the unconscious and limp body with his toes, Lian Xiang felt that Bobby would not be able to wake up for a while.Then, her eyes fell on the deformed fingers of scissorhands and the giant scissors that were many times larger than ordinary scissors stuck between his fingers.An interesting notion came to her mind.

Lian Xiang stepped forward and bent down, pulling the giant scissors out of Bobby's hand.The window was broken by Bobby, so she climbed out of the window to the small garden in the atrium without much effort, and threw the giant scissors directly into the pool.

The heavy metal object made a muffled sound after falling into the water, and sank quickly.

Lian Xiang stood by the pool, patted the invisible dust in his hands, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Let's play a game of hide and seek, I wonder how long it will take you to find your 'beloved little scissors'?" She returned to Bobby, resisting the urge to kick him again, "Anyway Without the scissors, you are just a dwarf who is nothing to fear."

Leaving this sentence behind, she ignored the "scissorhands" who had lost their scissors, and went straight into the room hidden at the end of the corridor and closed by a metal door.

As soon as Lian Xiang entered the room, he heard a muffled sound behind him.

The metal door was closed, and Lian Xiang couldn't open it from the inside no matter what he did.From a certain point of view, this is an expected development.She tried it for a while, but quickly gave up on the idea of ​​opening the door from the inside.

After adapting to the dark environment, Lian Xiang soon found a small desk lamp on the table in the room.She tried to flip the switch of the desk lamp, but unexpectedly the light turned on.Although not as strong as an incandescent lamp, it is better than nothing.

When she first saw the iron door, she just suspected that it was a prison, but seeing the crude inner room in front of her, Lian Xiang became more and more sure of her deduction.A bed, a table, a chair, and two side-by-side bookshelves, this is the whole content of this room. Compared with other extremely luxuriously decorated rooms in the Barrows house, it is simply a world of difference.

Lian Xiang became more and more confused. She really couldn't think of the reason why Mary came here.What made her feel even more strange was that the room was small, and the indoor situation was clear at a glance.However, she just couldn't find Mary.

Miss Mary, after entering here, it seems that she disappeared out of thin air.

Lian Xiang was at a loss for a moment.She suddenly felt a little tired, and was about to sit on the only chair in the room to take a rest.But just as she shifted her gaze to the chair, she suddenly let out a low cry.

Dust... This room has been neglected to clean all year round, so the floor and these scattered pieces of furniture are covered with dust.

Thinking of this, Lian Xiang raised his hand to adjust the angle of the desk lamp.In the dim light, she soon saw a row of footprints that did not belong to her on the dusty ground.The footprints meander all the way until they disappear completely in front of the bookshelf.

bookshelf?Miss Mary is an ordinary person, she cannot disappear out of thin air... This means that there are hidden mechanisms in the bookshelf!

Lian Xiang turned the desk lamp again so that the light was cast in the direction of the bookshelf.

In this extremely simple room, the two overstuffed bookshelves are extremely eye-catching.Lian Xiang took a closer look and found that although the bookshelf is small, the types of books on it are extremely rich and extensive.With such a simple glance, she saw books on inorganic chemistry, biology, astronomy, etc. There was even a work introducing Marxist political economy that had been read many times in the corner.

But right next to that book of "Marx"——

Lian Xiang's gaze was instantly attracted by a book with a pure white cover.The four traditional Chinese characters on the spine are particularly conspicuous among the piles of English letters.What's more, these four words are connected together to form a noun that she is all too familiar with.She casually pulled it out of the bookshelf.There are no redundant patterns on the cover, and the correct Chinese characters briefly indicate the title.

Dismantling the new book.

Lian Xiang looked at the Chinese characters on the cover in disbelief, and didn't recover for a while.Afterwards, she took the book back to the desk lamp and read it over and over several times to confirm that she had visual confusion due to the dim light.

This anatomy work, which is also famous in the three-dimensional dimension and translated from foreign languages ​​to Japanese, will appear in the bookshelf of a prison-like room in the Barros Mansion in Norway, with a pile of messy old books mixed together.

In addition, Lian Xiang also noticed that someone wrote a name with a pen in blue and black ink on the blank space in the lower right corner of the cover.However, due to the age, the ink blots are somewhat blurred.She identified it for a long time by the light, and finally barely recognized the name of the person.

"...Joshua, Burrows."

It was a completely unfamiliar name, and the only thing that was certain was that he was also a member of the cursed Barrows family.

"Well, does this have anything to do with Mary's disappearance?"

Lian Xiang returned to the bookshelf again, and this time she directly pulled out the work describing Marx's political economy.The book's cover also bears Mr. Joshua's name.Lian Xiang took out several books one after another, and wrote the same name on the same position on the cover of each book with the same color of ink.

"This person doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder..." Lian Xiang muttered, continuing to study the names on the book.

As mentioned earlier, this Mr. Joshua owns a wide variety of books.Regardless of the content, Lian Xiang has never seen some texts, so it is impossible to find the way to open the mechanism from the texts in the book.

After wasting a lot of time, Lian Xiang's attention returned to the "New Book of Disintegration" in front of him again.Since it appeared here, it must have its purpose.

"Wait..." Her gaze moved the light book in her hand all the way to the shelf.After the book was taken out, there was naturally a gap between the tightly packed bookshelves.Lian Xiang thought for a while, and tentatively put his hand into the gap.Groping all the way on the shelf partition, she soon discovered the hidden mechanism hidden inside the bookshelf.

Finally found!

Lian Xiang was overjoyed and immediately pressed the button.

Another bookshelf next to her moved slowly to one side following invisible dark lines.Hidden behind the bookshelf is a hidden secret door.

Notre Dame 4

As the saying goes, things are unpredictable.

Lian Xiang pushed open the secret door hidden behind the bookshelf, and found that the door was not an exit, but another room similar to a study.Stepping into the dark room, the bookshelf behind her slowly moved back to its original position, blocking the dim light of the desk lamp behind her and at the same time completely blocking her way of leaving.

The cold moonlight spilled into the closed stone room through the narrow skylight.A few wisps of light smoke drifted from a snow-white candle on the candlestick, which quickly dissipated in the darkness of the room.Lian Xiang walked to the candlestick and picked up the matchboxes scattered on the table.Light the candle again with a match, and the candle's light illuminates the remains of several matches left on the table.

She is sure that Mary was still in the room about a minute ago.Therefore, Lian Xiang is not worried about the way out at all, because there must be other exits in this room, but this exit needs her to search hard.

It seemed that Mary was in a hurry when she left, otherwise she would not have just spread the half-turned thick book on the table.Lian Xiang held up the candlestick and brought the candle light close to the pages of the book for a closer look.

The pages of the book are densely packed with Western letters.Lian Xiang read a few sentences by candlelight and felt a little uncomfortable.If she understands correctly, the theme of this book is "the ritual of summoning demons".

After Lian Xiang picked up the candlestick and walked around the other bookshelves, she immediately found that almost all the books stored in this room were related to the two key words "black magic" and "devil's ritual".And the dagger placed on the desk, and the circular magic circle painted on the blank ground with unknown black paint under the feet, which is exactly the same as the example in the book, all prove from the side that this is what Mary wants to do.

Lian Xiang shivered unconsciously.

So, Mary wanted to summon the demon...but why?

The sterling silver dagger lay silently on the wooden tabletop, and the blade reflected a warm light in the faint candlelight.That ray of light fell on the bottom of the eyes, and there was a gentle color like ripples.Lian Xiang put down the candle in his hand and picked up the dagger from the table.She holds the heavy metal object in her hand, the thin blade is like water, with just a light swipe, it can cut through the skin and reach deep into the blood vessels.

The twins she gave birth to were a direct manifestation of the demon's curse, so what's the point of summoning the demon to her?

Lian Xiang was thinking in a daze, but the hand holding the dagger unconsciously moved the blade closer to his wrist.

The content of the ceremony recorded in the book is very simple. You only need to drip blood into the magic circle, and then read a simple spell to complete the ceremony.But for some reason, Mary didn't seem to succeed in achieving her intended goal.

The edge of the dagger looks clean and new, as if it has never been used.

It hurts a bit when the blade penetrates into the skin.Lian Xiang frowned. She watched as the bright red liquid oozing from the depths of her wrist stained the silver-white sharp blade. The red color slid down along the sharp metal lines and gathered at the tip of the silver dagger, congealing into a bead of blood. .

Drops of blood fell silently to the feet, and soon submerged in the pure ink blot that drew the six-pointed star.

Lian Xiangmu watched all this happen.She knew what she was doing, she just didn't know why.The game with Witch N did not inflate her self-confidence.She understands that for herself, when she is aware of the existence of demons, she should stay away.

It's a pity that she didn't understand at all where the excitement and restlessness boiling in her heart came from.

The blood belonging to Andi dyed the black magic circle with bright red little by little. At first glance, the hexagram in the circle seemed to be painted directly with blood.

There was no dazzling light, no mysterious clouds, and a light, translucent shadow fell silently on the ground.When the pair of black leather shoes that were polished and shiny stepped on this land, Lian Xiang's very familiar boyish voice floated into her ears with some joy, "... oh, you finally figured it out gone?"

Lord Demon casually adjusted the folds of the cuffs of his suit, and glanced in her direction seemingly casually.But when he saw that the person standing in front of him was not the one he expected, his slightly changed facial expression happened to reveal a bit of surprise.But his emotions leaked only for a moment.After a while, Lord Demon put on a decent smile, "It's you, no wonder," he stretched out his pale pink tongue and licked the corner of his mouth suggestively, "With this smell of soul, even blood becomes delicious Many..."

Lian Xiang was still holding the silver dagger stained with An Di's blood.Watching the Demon King licking the corners of his lips ambiguously, she actually felt a slight tingling from the depth of the wound.

No matter what her appearance changed, he could easily recognize her.

Exhaling lightly, to dispel the uneasiness of meeting the Demon Lord again, Lian Xiang said in a low voice, "I didn't expect it to be you, Demon Lord." She lowered her eyes, not paying attention to the slightly changed expression of the Demon Lord, "So, Joshua Burrows, that's your name before you became a demon, right?"

She spoke very quickly, leaving no room for the Demon King to interject or interrupt.Her voice was a little trembling, but she tried her best to ensure the clarity of her enunciation.

But to her surprise, Lord Demon did not stop her from asking this question as hysterically as Witch N did.He stood where he was, looking back at her leisurely with his dark, lusterless eyes.The moonlight cast through the skylight was shining on him, reflecting a bloodless face.

On the contrary, Lian Xiang was a little puzzled by the silence of the demon king.Just when she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, she suddenly felt an indescribable pain coming from deep in her chest.

Her legs were weak, and she fell to the ground immediately.It was as if a strange force appeared from nowhere, trying to tear her heart in two.Painful cock overflowed from her throat, and her hands unconsciously clutched her chest tightly, as if doing so would relieve the pain a little.

Lian Xiang struggled to raise her head. In her increasingly blurred vision, she watched the Demon Lord approaching her and squatted down.Then, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of her hair with what could be called a gentle movement.

"Oh, it seems that it is not a wise choice for me to choose you..."

Lian Xiang's consciousness gradually became silent in the torment of pain.She squinted her eyes slightly, but she couldn't stop the Demon Lord's delicate and delicate face from being completely lost in the darkness from her vision.

Demon King sighed, and moved the hand that was caressing Lian Xiang's head all the way down, brushing aside the brown curly hair with his fingers, and resting his palm on the girl's slender and slender neck.The slender fingertips stuck to the position of the carotid artery, stroking gently like a sympathetic caress.

Under the moonlight, the girl's skin under his finger was still moist and white, but at the same position on his neck, a deep scar appeared out of thin air.Bright liquid seeped out from between the wounds, soaking the pale skin little by little.

"Heh," Demon Lord chuckled softly, even though his smile seemed a bit forced.Blood oozes from his mouth and slides down the corner of his mouth.Blood red dotted his light-colored thin lips, like a beautiful flower blooming in the night, "It seems that I was really careless... The power of the 'Real Name Code' is far stronger than I imagined."

When Lian Xiang woke up, a cat's face was less than ten centimeters away from her eyes.

"Ah..." She exclaimed and immediately sat up.Looking around, she found that she was back in the small prison-like room before.And the position where she was lying was the only single bed in the room.

The black cat stood upright on the bed, and for some unknown reason, a ridiculous bow was tied around his neck with a white silk handkerchief. "Are you awake?" he asked, pawing lazily like an ordinary domestic cat. Going to scratch my ears, "I feel that the pain I felt when I experienced the 'Baptism of Dusk' is very unbearable. I didn't expect you to wake up again..."

Lian Xiang was stunned for a moment before realizing the true identity of the black cat in front of him.After all, it has been a long time since she saw the Demon King appearing in front of her eyes like this. "You..." She wanted to ask what "the baptism of dusk" was, but she only had time to spit out one syllable, and the various scenes that passed before her eyes flooded into her mind again in a coma.Recalling those episodes, Lian Xiang felt awkward for a while, and simply turned his eyes elsewhere.

She saw Demon Lord's past when she lost consciousness.Before becoming the demon king in her mouth, the teenager lived in this small prison-like room for more than 20 years as Joshua Burrows.

Congenital deformities lead to a rickety back, legs of different lengths and a lame walk. His parents have regarded him as a ghost since he was a child and locked him in this cage deep in the castle. His brother named Simmons brought him a new life through the iron bars. Most of them are insults and insults.Although he has the surname of the Barrows family, his life is not even comparable to that of a dog raised by the family.At least as a dog, you can still get the loving touch of the owner.

Recalling the boy's eyes full of viciousness and resentment hidden under the cover of his long hair, Lian Xiang shuddered suddenly.

Her hesitant expression only made the Devil Lord amused.The black cat walked up to her eyes gracefully, its dark agate eyes shone brightly in the moonlight, "Showing such a high and compassionate expression, could it be that you saw the dead one in the past?" I' business, right?"

His sharp words made Lian Xiang want to defend something, but she opened her mouth, and she had to admit that what the other party said was not wrong, so she nodded stiffly.

"So," the Demon Lord dragged his tone leisurely, "as long as you see those memories that make you feel uncomfortable in your heart, no matter how much I did to you before... uh, what you humans call 'excessive' , can you put aside your prejudices and have an emotion called 'compassion' towards me?" The black cat's paws caught her hand on the bed sheet, and hid it in the palm of her hand.
