Volume 1 Huangquan December, Chapter 149: Houndstooth

"What, are you trying to persuade me to be a good person now?"

Xiaobai's words were very rude, which made them feel a little uncomfortable. After she said this, she bared her teeth slightly. It was not a threat, but the injury on her back was a little painful. Although it should have been repaired.

right.

Shan Hai felt that the conversation would be smoother if the "unaccounted for" person was present. However, they stayed up late at night and sneaked into the dog farm to cause trouble, and it was definitely not just for her.

"Although I really want to explain it to you and apologize seriously again. I shouldn't have made the promise so confidently at that time. I took it for granted and it was my fault. But please believe that since you also

We have made our own choice, and we...will not interfere anymore."

After Shan Hai finished speaking, Dai Luan whispered, "I almost don't recognize her anymore... She is very different from before."

"What was she supposed to be like? Who has the final say?" Kari Gondo spread his hands and smiled as always.

Mu Wan looked at Tan Ge. She and Zhang Changgong stood together, forming a subtle triangle with Xing Gongduo and Miss Bai. Mu Wan said to Tan Ge

"We are here this time to help the fox demon from the past two days. I offended you for disturbing you last time. But I hope you can understand that we are not bad people with malicious intentions. I heard you have a wish before, but I don't know.

Can you tell me, it would be best if we could help you."

"What does it have to do with you?" Tan Ge didn't appreciate it.

Zhang Changgong sighed heavily.

"Don't be offended, girl. This child has been waiting for someone..."

Mu Wan knew something in her mind. This must be talking about the enemy who killed her parents back then. In Liang Yuejun's story, the little girl they imagined was weak. However, twenty years later, she really stood up

When they were in front of them, the violent energy that was about to come out of their bodies made them feel uncomfortable... It couldn't be said to be uncomfortable, it was just unexpected. No matter how you live with monsters, you should protect yourself in this way.

After all, so many years have passed.

Even so, Mu Wan still wanted to try to reason with her. Because there was a familiar feeling about her, it felt like... her senior brother, the man named Wu Yuangui.

The man who grew up bathed in hatred.

Although she suffered the same misfortune as him, and had people who were kind enough to raise them up. But Tange was lucky enough to meet such a gentle person - or a monster. And the person who walked into Wu Yuangui's life was a complete,

A real monster. The dog monster raised her because of the instinct of repaying kindness and motherly love, while the snake monster, driven by profit and trouble, shaped him into what he is now...such a disgusting appearance.

However, they are also very different.

At least the person who adopted her was not her enemy.

"We have heard about you... You won't have nowhere to go. You can follow that fox demon. Although he is a bit annoying sometimes, he is... very good."

Mu Wan persuaded somewhat feebly, and he had no position.

Kari Gongduo was still smiling with his eyes narrowed. After hearing their conversation, he held his chin and thought for a while. He took a step closer to Tan Ge, which made Zhang Changgong feel very bad. He hesitated to speak, wanting to

He stretched out his hand to hold Tan Ge, but retracted it.

"What if you're here to...find the murderer, right? The man who killed your adoptive mother?"

This tone was strange and made everyone feel uneasy.

"What do you want to say...?" Tan Ge stared at him and took a step back slightly.

"It's nothing. I know about you... we know everything. If you can get the answer to this question, will you leave here? By then, will you fight for any insignificant benefits for these guys who work together?

?"

Tan Ge raised his head and glanced at the co-workers. They were her subordinates and her friends who stayed with her day and night. Almost everyone had a family and at least one child. Some people's children's mothers died early and they did not dare to bring the children.

In a place like this, people run back and forth from here to their homes all day long. They dare not tell their neighbors where they work. Although making a living in such a lucrative place sounds like a decent thing, in fact it is not.

A few more dollars, but dealing with monsters every day, and being polluted with an animal-like stench,

It’s not lovable either. Some people rarely go back because they’re afraid of embarrassing their wives and children.

The dog farm is the execution ground for many monsters, but it is also their home.

"I don't know." She said truthfully.

"What about you?" Kari Gongduo looked at Changgong, "Are you willing to let her know?"

Tan Ge suddenly turned around and looked at her adoptive father.

"...You know? In fact, you have always known who killed her?"

Zhang Changgong frowned slightly, which was connected with the wrinkles on his face. His weather-beaten face looked a little older, but at this moment, it looked more vicissitudes than ever before.

"Yeah. I know."

"Then why didn't you tell me?!" Tan Ge said loudly, "You still lied to me to stay and work here? There is such a shortage of manpower? Since you know who it is, you still want me to maintain order and maintain...

Maintain order in the backcourt! If you disobey monsters, you will be punished and beaten. Do you think I am happy with it? Not every young master is willing to use a whip to whip his servants!"

Zhang Changgong opened his mouth slightly, his eyes a little dazed. He didn't know what to say, or maybe he thought it was useless.

Shan Hai had a bad premonition. He raised his head and glanced at the ceiling. Only part of the broken holes had been repaired. Some sparse starlight leaked in and merged into the warm light created by the torch, making it impossible to filter it out.

"So, should you tell her, or should I?"

Kari Gondo's tone was as if he was giving away the power of choice. And they all knew that the result would inevitably make people ignore the process of choice. A bad feeling came to mind, just like an animal's instinct for danger.

Shanhai glanced at Miss Bai. Her face was calm, and she seemed to be indifferent to everything, but also seemed to be very interested. He had never seen this kind of contradictory feeling on that young face before.

"I," he said, "I killed her, I killed them."

"..."

Tan Ge looked at him in disbelief. After a while, she let out a weird laugh that changed her tone.

"Are you kidding me?"

"I was still young at that time, traveling around with a bow on my back. You know... you all know." Zhang Changgong pointed to the stands, "I was an onmyoji and a demon hunter. As long as I caught the target, the arrow would

The arrow is out of hand, and the shot is always on target. One year, I passed by a village not far from Tanghuan County."

Tan Ge knew that it was not her hometown. Her adoptive mother took her away from that sad place so that she could grow up safely. Moreover, everyone in the village suspected that her biological parents and other family members were killed by dog ​​demons, and she herself should also be blamed.

Escaped from suspicion, the adoptive mother took some other little monsters, which she had also taken care of, and started a wandering life.

When they were teenagers, they settled in a place far enough away. It was a mountain near a village. When they needed some daily necessities for humans, it was easy to get them from there. They lived together peacefully, as they had for the past ten years.

Just as ordinary. She heard some oral stories from humans, and learned that the rich man who wanted to occupy his family's land in his former home died. Before that, the adoptive mother had come back with a stinky smell of blood, and so had the other friends.

Although they washed themselves clean in the mountain spring, she, who had been influenced by the evil spirit for many years, noticed something strange, so she asked her adoptive mother. They just said that they went hunting.

They disappeared for many days, and she almost thought they died outside. She didn't think much about anything, didn't care about anything, she just held them tightly.

"That village had inconvenient transportation and never developed. Later, someone learned that Tanghuan County's rules dictated that dog farms buy monsters at high prices. They wanted to make money, so they told me about it when I was passing by. I was responsible for bringing the animals back alive.

, they were responsible for transporting it and just paid according to my price. I did it - the places I shot were not fatal, but enough to make them unable to move. When I attacked a dog demon

Something went wrong, and she was more sensitive than any monster. The distance was too far at that time, and she instinctively ran away, but she turned a corner and rushed closer to me. So the arrow that was supposed to hit her front leg passed through

Through the chest."

"Ah, yes." Kari Gondo said, "I remember it. She was not dead at the time, but she died on the third day after the villagers brought her. The wound was originally infected, and she had a high fever, and she might not be able to survive for a day.

Somehow she managed to hold on for so long. She faced the village

I wailed three times in the direction and closed my eyes."

"What... you..." Tan Mu was a little incoherent, "I..."

"Yes." Zhang Changgong looked at her, his eyes almost sad, "I felt strange... I followed the direction she ran and found a cave under where I was standing. I walked in and you were inside."

"You thought I was kidnapped and you wanted to save me. I tried to explain to you..."

"I didn't know that monsters were raising human children. I thought you were in danger. It took three days for you to let go of your guard against me and for me to understand what you said. I came to you every day, and you gradually trusted me.

Got me."

"On the last day, you said you heard in the village that she was seriously injured... You said she was taken to Tanghuan County by the villagers, and you said you would take me to find her..."

"Well." Zhang Changgong sighed again, "I didn't lie to you, but I admit that I hid a lot. It was only on the third day that I convinced myself that I should take responsibility for this matter. I..."

Tan Mu kept shaking his head, as if refusing to accept this reality.

"You, what responsibility have you taken?!"

"I don't know." He said honestly, "At least I can't let you wait for death in the mountains."

"Damn you... I have treated you as my second father for the past ten years, you..."

This conversation made Mu Wan feel extremely uncomfortable.

They are the same... and Wu Yuangui, the same.

But what will she do?

As of now, no one on stage or in Taichung has said a word.

It's so quiet, so quiet.

Xiaobai suddenly took a breath, and the sound seemed a bit abrupt. People who hurriedly looked for where to look, all cast their eyes on her, including Shanhai and others.

She became different. There was fine sweat on her forehead, but it was light red. Wherever the sweat crossed, it left light marks. More importantly, those strange lines were glowing.

Dancing and twisting, like some kind of conscious life form, trying to stretch its branches and leaves to absorb more necessary and unnecessary nutrients.

Her eyes became blood red.

"So...he lied to you, right? He lied to you...human beings are all liars, you should know..."

Her tone was unnatural, with a hint of joking that shouldn't belong to her. The demonic aura was even more fragrant, almost making people breathless.

It was so strange, that look... almost reminded them of someone they didn't want to think of.

Red and dark night.
