The puppet maid seemed to be particularly satisfied with the name "Ye Meigui", and she even moved briskly while clearing away the tableware.

The long black braid on her back was swaying, and she was holding a tray filled with cutlery and plates. But she walked towards the kitchen with mechanically regular steps. This strength was in great contrast with her thin figure.

Ye Qimeng looked at her back with a complicated mood.

The last time she was in this state of mind was when she named the dog "Torrent" as a joke and he refused to change it.

Ye Qimeng wiped her mouth with a napkin, yawned, and prepared to help the puppet maid with the remaining housework.

Alexa took the lead, walked to the shelf, picked up the large bamboo basket on the ground, placed it on the carpet in front of the stove, opened the napkin on it, and prepared to count today's harvest.

Ye Qimeng also picked up another large bamboo basket that she had been carrying today, walked to Alexa, sat with her on the soft carpet, and put the porcelain plates, glass covers and some sundries inside Take it out.

She opened her purse and counted the coins she earned at the market today, plus the remaining money at home, the total was 1000 silver coins and 1356 copper coins.

She carefully packed the coins in cloth bags, walked to the five-drawer locker in the corner of the cabin, removed a third drawer, and carefully stuffed the money bag into the mezzanine, and then satisfactorily reinstalled it. Drawers installed.

At this time Alexa had taken out everything from the bamboo basket in front of her, and then went to clean Ye Qimeng's bamboo basket next to her.

She took out a dark, broken wooden box and held it in her hand out of curiosity. She moved closer to the fire so that she could better observe the strange box.

"Isn't this the wooden box that strange guy in black gave me at the market?" Ye Qimeng, who had hidden the money bag, walked behind Alexa and saw the black box in her hand, feeling a little confused. asked.

Alexa just looked at the black box in her hand in a daze, seeming to be recalling something, and suddenly her face showed an expression of enlightenment.

She said in surprise: "I have always felt that the guy in black looks familiar! It turns out that he is the mysterious man who taught Alex, 'As long as you exchange names with your sister, you can bear the curse on her first.'"

"Ah?" Ye Qimeng's mind was a little confused. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong about this matter, and asked doubtfully: "How could such a coincidence happen?"

"I'm afraid there is an inevitable connection. The guy's identity is not simple." Alexa guessed.

Ye Qimeng sat down next to Alexa, looking at the flames burning in the fireplace, feeling a little uneasy, so he suggested: "We are going to buy ingredients for dessert tomorrow, and we will go to the market on the way. City."

"The market is near Walen Street. Let's go there after we deliver the desserts." Alexa also thinks this proposal is feasible.

"But what exactly is in this broken wooden box? Why does the man in black want me to accept it?" Ye Qimeng pointed at the black wooden box in Alexa's hand and wondered.

She also sat down by the fireplace, looking at the box in front of her with some confusion. This thing now seemed to her to be as mysterious as Pandora's box, full of sinful temptation.

Can this box be opened? What's in it? Is there a demon being imprisoned?

Before she even opened the box, Ye Qimeng's mind was already filled with strange fantasies, and scenes from various movies appeared in her mind one by one.

But Alexa was caught off guard, opened the black box in her hand with both hands, and said without fear: "Open it and take a look, you will know what is inside."

A small, light object floated out, also dark in color, like a small piece of paper, and flew out from the gap in the center of the wooden box.

Under the bright firelight, Ye Qimeng could see all the processes clearly.

What kind of black paper is this!

It was clearly a gray-black moth, flapping its scaly wings, hovering in the air in front of her, making a strange sound as if to convey some kind of message:

"Puff puff---"

"Big moth, are you farting?" Ye Qimeng's face wrinkled up in disgust at this time, and he moved his butt back involuntarily, complaining.

"Mengmeng, do you think this is a moth?" Alexa was particularly curious about this guy. She moved closer and stretched out her hand to catch the big black moth, then turned around and asked.

"This isn't a big moth, is it a butterfly?" Ye Qimeng was a little confused by the question and couldn't help asking Alexa.

"It looks like this is indeed a black moth." Alexa said thoughtfully.

"No, this voice is too magical. Is there a way to stop it in my head?"

Ye Qimeng couldn't help complaining about the strange sound of "Puff, puff, puff—". The key was that the sound was not only so clear, but also kept looping rhythmically.

"What sound? I didn't hear any other sounds?" Alexa looked at Ye Qimeng, who was a little collapsed at this time, and asked in confusion.

It seems that this is another sound that only I can hear. It is probably that the big black moth wants to use its homemade "Morse code" to talk to me...

Ye Qimeng guessed silently in his heart.

"If you want to say something to me, I can only tell you that I don't understand." Ye Qimeng reluctantly tried to communicate with the big black moth in Alexa's hand.

Surprisingly, the big black moth seemed to understand her words and immediately stopped making this annoying "puff-puff-" sound.

"Why did that guy in black clothes give me this strange and ugly creature? Did he want me to raise it for him?" Ye Qimeng murmured to himself.

She really couldn't figure out why the guy dressed in black deliberately grabbed her at the market just to hand over such a big moth to her.

Just like Alexa and Alex's "name swapping game" before, the actions of the man in black are always so confusing.

"Mengmeng, do you think this moth looks like..."

Alexa seemed to have seen something, and used her other hand to gently stroke the wings of the big black moth, which made it stop trembling its scales.

The big black moth stood still on the back of Alexa's smooth and white hand, slowly opened all its wings, and a familiar skull pattern slowly appeared in front of their eyes...

"Like a ghost-faced moth!"

"It's the Ghost-faced Hawkmoth!"

Ye Qimeng and Alexa exclaimed in unison.

"This guy is not dead?"

Ye Qimeng was a little surprised by his tenacious vitality. Even the powerful master behind him could not kill him.

"Mengmeng, why did the mysterious man in black give you the larvae of the Ghost-Faced Hawkmoth?"

Alexa also looked confused, not knowing what to do with the little guy on the back of her hand.

"I don't know." Ye Qimeng answered truthfully, and at the same time recalled the situation on the day the barrier was broken: "But wasn't this guy shot by a purple flame silver arrow and turned into ashes?"

Moreover, in her memories, even if the Ghost-Faced Hawk Moth was not shot to death by the silver arrow, he would be tortured to death by the ashes of the Six-Eyed Raven's Mars, leaving no possibility of surviving.

This is the first time I have seen the young devil apostle, but it may not be what he looked like before he sold his soul. The current state should be the lowest energy form he turned into to avoid the pursuit of the master behind him. However, to be able to resurrect the demon apostle into this juvenile state, that mysterious man indeed possesses magical power that cannot be underestimated. "

Alexa played with the ghost-faced hawk moth in her hand and explained her thoughts to Ye Qimeng.

"We don't know whether this guy is an enemy or a friend." Ye Qimeng considered the pros and cons and said, "Judging from his situation, he needs our protection, but what reason do we have to protect him?"

"The method that the mysterious man in black gave Alex before was indeed effective." Alexa recalled and suggested: "I am very curious as to why he only restored the Ghost-faced Hawkmoth to a juvenile state where it was unable to communicate normally. ?Perhaps, we can take a gamble this time and trust the man in black."

Ye Qimeng felt that Alexa's words made sense. The Ghost-faced Hawkmoth was indeed a good way for her to discover her "other self" who suddenly went crazy and disappeared.

What's more, he is still so small and easily controlled by them.

This should be the reason why the mysterious man in black only resurrected him to a larvae, just to prevent this guy from suddenly rebelling.

This also made Ye Qimeng more interested in the owner of the Ghost-faced Hawkmoth. She said expressionlessly to the juvenile form of the Ghost-faced Hawkmoth: "If you need our protection, just make a few weird screams. "

"Puff puff--"

The fart-like sound entered Ye Qimeng's ear canal again, making her feel a little nauseous for some reason. She quickly stopped her and said, "I heard it, I heard it! Next question, when will you be able to speak? Just bark a few times in a few days. .”

There was silence, and the ghost-faced moth said nothing.

"You don't know when you can communicate with me?" Ye Qimeng continued to ask without giving up.

"Puff puff--"

There was another "fart sound", so harsh.

"Then why are we raising you? It's a waste of money." Ye Qimeng said speechlessly.

"Puff puff--"

The Ghost-faced Hawkmoth seemed to be in a hurry and kept making "farting noises".

"Stop screaming! Oh my god, it turns out that there are sounds in this world that I can't understand!" Ye Qimeng said helplessly: "But, you have a chance to communicate with me, right? If you are willing to tell who your master is, Who, I can think about it.”

It was another moment of silence, and the only sounds in the air were the nervous breathing of Ye Qimeng and Alexa.

"Puff puff--"

The Ghost-Faced Hawk Moth finally succumbed to Ye Qimeng's coercion and temptation and issued a reluctant response.

"Okay then, let's..."

Just as Ye Qimeng was about to make a decision, she was stopped by Alexa, who took her hand and placed it on the tentacles of the Demon-Faced Hawk Moth, saying: "First make an immortal oath to prevent him from repenting and rebelling. "

"You're right, you should be careful with this evil guy." Ye Qimeng pressed his furry head and warned: "Be more honest."

Alexa began to recite a very long spell, so fast that even Ye Qimeng, a language genius, could not hear it clearly.

She could only hear a few words faintly through her intuition: "Swear an oath... Break the contract and you will die... Eternal life will be destroyed..."

After a while, this immortal oath ended in a flash of light, leaving only Ye Qimeng in a daze.

"Good guy, he's still a poisonous oath!" she complained.

"I am an oath bearer, so I am bound by the oath. Now we are bound together."

Alexa's tone was calm, as if the poisonous oath was not scary to her at all.

"Well, it seems you can't escape from our grasp." Ye Qimeng stroked the young scale wings of the Ghost-faced Hawk Moth, seeming to have thought of something, and continued: "Oh, you are my pet now. , can’t you think of it?”

In fact, I didn't expect it, Ye Qimeng said quietly in his heart.

"Puff puff--"

The Ghost-faced Hawkmoth made a "fart sound" that seemed unwilling to do so.
