As if peering into an abyss, the little boy felt inexplicable fear. He felt that he knew something very scary.
The demons living in the mountain temple, and the villagers who know their existence but still support them. What is going on? Is his mother's disappearance related to it? Is someone taking his mother as a "gift"?
Sacrificed to the mountain god...
Once he thought of this possibility, he showed an expression of extreme anger and sadness. Although he lowered his head, Reina still saw his appearance. Children always have random thoughts and their hearts are very sensitive. If they are neglected, they may
You will fall into the dead end of your own creation.
"A year ago, this guy's mother disappeared in the mountains. Do you know about this?"
Reina asked straightforwardly. She was not going to beat around the bush. Since the other party came here more than two years ago, he must know something. Moreover, the village began to close the mountain two years ago. Feng Ma and others were violating the village regulations at that time.
According to the rules, people go up the mountain privately, just like she is doing now. The village established such rules probably to avoid people noticing the existence of these three big rats, and they will also silently follow people who go up the mountain to protect themselves.
They looked at each other and whispered something.
"A year ago?"
"A lot of people have gone up the mountain."
"What should I do? Human beings all look the same and I can't tell them apart."
"Who was looking at the mountain at that time?"
"Who remembers?"
Listening to their discussion, the young man only felt more and more sad. Some outsiders were indifferently discussing the things he valued most. That feeling was very unpleasant, and he had suppressed it for too long.
"You must know! Why don't you tell me! You monsters! Sure! It must be you who did it. Take my mother, take it away, you monsters! Give my mother back to me!"
The boy suddenly collapsed and yelled, and threw himself at the opponent. However, he was caught by Reina in mid-air and pushed back to his position. He tried desperately, and the table overturned, and the three big mice retreated silently.
Some, and showed an apologetic expression.
Feng Ma yelled and cried helplessly. He hated himself for not being able to do anything.
"Calm down kid, getting angry won't solve any problems."
"But, but!"
He couldn't refute.
"I'm so sorry, young man."
"We know what it feels like to lose a loved one."
"We feel sympathy and understanding."
The three big mice told each other one by one that they could talk like humans. Just this fact had already subverted Feng Ma's little outlook on life.
"How can you understand! You are just cold-blooded and ruthless monsters. Aren't you a witch? Why don't you kill these demons? Why? Are you as cold-blooded and ruthless as these monsters?"
He yelled in collapse, Reina sighed, and suddenly there was a snap. When the boy reacted, he found that there was a burning pain on the right side of his face, and then he fell from the stool to the ground. His mind went blank, Feng Ma
Covering the right side of his face, he slowly got up and looked at the white-haired witch in shock.
"Apologize."
Her eyes were fierce, and Feng Ma whispered sorry.
"Not to me, to them."
Hearing this, Feng Ma was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the three big rats standing aside and watching him silently.
Apologize to those demons?
He couldn't understand, and he didn't even want to understand. In his eyes, he was either a friend or an enemy. Reina's actions made him unable to understand.
"Why, why?"
Reina saw helplessness and fear in his eyes, and she understood why.
"Because what you just said is very disrespectful to others."
"But! They are not human!"
"So what? If you're not a human being, can you insult me at will?"
Reina cursed.
Feng Ma was speechless. He didn't know why the other party wanted to speak for the demons. Aren't the demons enemies?
"No, it's okay."
"That's right, we don't blame this young man, we are used to how humans think of us."
The mice were actually speaking for him. They were like adults in the village, saying some nice things, which confused him. They were saying this to deceive him. Do they want to pretend to be good people and let him be fooled?
He held his fists and showed an expression of dissatisfaction. Reina sighed and said, "Do you still want to know the whereabouts of your mother? Or would you rather lose your temper here?"
After hearing Reina's words, the young man frowned.
He misses his mother all the time and is willing to do anything for it.
"sorry."
With a small apology, the three big mice smiled awkwardly.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Actually, his idea is right. Most demons are also prejudiced against humans."
They started talking to each other again, and sometimes they couldn't even figure out who was talking. To humans, they all looked the same, and to them, humans also looked similar.
"It is difficult to recall what happened a year ago. If there are more obvious characteristics, we might be able to recall it."
Black Tooth said.
The memory of the mouse tribe is not very good to begin with.
"Characteristics? Feng Ma, what are the characteristics of your mother?"
Characteristically, the boy was still facing the three small mice, he did not dare to look at them.
"Long hair, two dimples when you smile..."
He mentioned the characteristics that ordinary people have, and that the mouse tribe cannot see these characteristics at all. They can even identify the male and female of humans only by the length of their hair.
Therefore, they all had troubled expressions on their faces at this time.
Until Feng Ma revealed what he was most afraid of: "The monster that kidnapped my mother! It has two big horns! It looks like a cow, and its whole body is black!"
He said loudly while panting.
Minotaur?
"If it's a demon, you should know, or in other words, could it be your companion?"
Reina stared at the three mouse clans, an icy cold light flashed in her eyes.
The three mouse tribes had goosebumps all over their bodies, shivered as if a cold wind had blown through them, and stiffened their bodies.
"No! Absolutely not, we don't have such companions."
"Rabbits, centaurs, and lizardmen are all possible, and we are the only three assigned here."
As he said that, Heiya quickly covered the companion who had spilled the beans. When he looked at Reina, the white-haired human, he found that the other person had a more dangerous expression.
She raised her eyebrows.
"Oh? Someone sent you here? Who is it? Do I recognize him?"
Rena asked.
The three mice swallowed hard and said: "He is... the greatest monarch in the world. He advocates the coexistence of all things."
"Including... humans and us."
Reina was stunned for a moment.
"Who is that?"
"He is the Lord of the World who saves all living beings."
