I am not human

At 23:[-] a.m., the green space center at the end of Shanlian Road.

This green space center has not yet been fully constructed, but it has roughly the meaning of beautiful mountains and rivers—although the clear rockery and the beautiful man-made lake, this does not prevent this place from being a place for dog walking, couples' tryst, and square dancing. good place to go.

To the east of the green space is a large wetland park, which is very wet. The only plants that can be seen are endless reeds. The wet mud under the reeds is very suitable for catching crabs.The Greenland Center has extended a small path from its own site, ready to connect with the wetland park, so that tourists can freely switch between catching crabs and dancing in the square, but this place has not yet been built, and aunts and aunts can only temporarily First, move to the square on the west side.But the aunts obviously don't mind, there is no delay at all when it is time to dance, dance and play Tai Chi.

At this point in time, the aunts who practiced and danced in the early morning have long since dispersed. Adults go to work and children go to school. There are not many people in the park.A gust of wind blew through the treetops, and swept eastward all the way, passing through the entrance and exit temporarily blocked due to construction, and walking along the opened path for a while, disturbing a half-yellow but not yellow reed.

Under the reeds, a young woman in a large coat was walking in the mud. Her white Converse casual shoes were covered in mud all over her face. rush forward.The coat on her body was obviously a man's style, and it was still stained with yesterday's ketchup. It was unknown whether it was taken out of the laundry basket or the washing machine.The clothes were genuine boyfriend clothes, but they were paired with a pair of minions' pajama pants. The trouser legs trembled slightly in the cool wind, and they were very thin.Two thin ankles were exposed under the trousers, and they were all splashed with mud.

Guan Xiaotong was in a state of embarrassment but persevered in trudging through the wetlands, but the young man in white couldn't stand it any longer, and turned around with a straight face and asked, "Human. What are you following me for?"

Guan Xiaotong looked at the young man who was completely white and spotless, and then looked at himself who was the incarnation of Mrs. Sharp, and suddenly felt aggrieved, and complained tearfully: "My boyfriend is with you!"

The young man tilted his head in confusion: "Boyfriend?"

"It's my man, spouse, husband-in-law, husband! Do you understand, dead monster!" Guan Xiaotong has no sensory ability, and is spoiled by his own monster male ticket. Scared, only thinking that the other party took away the male tickets that he had finally caught up with.

The words were rude enough, but the young man was not angry, but just looked at her in confusion: "He. A monster?"

"What's wrong with the monster! I just like it!" Guan Xiaotong said recklessly.The young man said again in an affirmative tone: "He. Monster. Calamity beast."

Guan Xiaotong was in grief and anger, he didn't hear the progressive tone in this sentence, and he didn't feel the surprise and loneliness that followed the word "disaster beast", he could only hold back his tears and shouted: "I know! Doesn’t it just breathe fire? When you are unhappy, you can breathe fire, and when you are happy, you can catch fire without spraying it... But so what! Who doesn’t have a shortcoming? If he wants to catch fire, I will help him put it out. That's fine! As long as you don't have a bad heart, this is nothing!"

Compared to letting her love turn into a bad debt and lose everything, this is nothing!

"..." The young man's expression was still indifferent, but there was something in his eyes that Guan Xiaotong couldn't understand.Guan Xiaotong was terrified by him, and said nervously: "What do you mean by this?"

The young man blinked slowly, and slowly uttered three words: "There is something wrong."

Guan Xiaotong: "..."

The young man ignored Guan Xiaotong and turned around on his own.He is just a scattered soul, without complete memory, and he can't even remember how he left the world of mountains and seas.However, in his limited memory fragments, a picture is very clear - beside the rushing water, the middle-aged Taoist priest in the black crown and yellow robe picks up the little snake that has been following him with his scabbard, and the blue snake flutters The wings that haven't grown yet are struggling in vain, but the desire is obvious in the golden eyes.

The Taoist sighed, looked at the rising river, and gently put the little snake on the ground, with an unquestionable rejection in his eyes, but he was still holding the Meng Huai cub in his arms, which could only help people ward off disasters

"Go back." He said to the little snake, "The disaster beast sees disaster, where can you go?"

--is that so?

Because it is a disaster beast, because it is ominous.

So I can't go anywhere by myself?

If this is the case...then why do I exist?

The young man looked at Guan Xiaotong again.This kind of woman who insists on having sex with a disaster beast is not sick, what is it?

But this disease... He actually felt a little envious.How strange.

Behind him, Guan Xiaotong was still crying: "Give Xuyang back to me, I promise to take good care of him, don't let him play with fire, don't let him get into trouble... He has a residence permit, and the mountain management office has agreed of!"

"Mountain Management Office?" This word caught Hua Snake's attention, he turned his head and asked, "Mentor?"

"...Ah, what?" Guan Xiaotong didn't understand what he was talking about.In fact, she doesn't know much about the mountain management office. Xuyang said that the mountain management office is full of psychos, and every time they deal with each other, they will dismiss her.

Seeing that Guan Xiaotong couldn't answer his own question, Hua Snake didn't ask anymore. He lifted the backpack on his shoulders, turned his head and continued walking——according to the information given to him by the person who called himself "mentor", he walked out of this wetland, He will meet another disaster beast.

Take him away too, and then you can go home by yourself.

Turn the clock back a little.Inside the Zuixin Lotus Garden.

"What's the situation with your snake?" Following Qiao Xiren out of the apartment building, Liao Qingshu carefully avoided Fang Zheyi and asked Mu Man in a low voice, "Why did you recruit all the exorcists?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Muman missed the point with great precision, "The loach does not belong to my family, he is just a drag bottle brought by the senior!"

"It doesn't matter if it's a drag bottle or a stuffy bottle, you have to explain the matter clearly first!"

Muman secretly looked at Qiao Xiren in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I don't know much about it... I only know that the loach is a scattered soul accidentally brought out by the senior in the mountain and sea world, and I only found out after I escaped. I got in the car. I talked to him in private, he was insane, he had no memory, he was mentally handicapped, but his disposition followed his true self, and he didn't intend to stay, so I sent him back by himself."

"Go back to the Mountain Sea Realm?" Liao Qingshu stared, "You know he's mentally retarded and you still let him go back by himself?"

"Otherwise, why don't you drive him?" Muman moved his shoulders uncomfortably, glanced at Fang Zheyi who was following behind, and continued, "Although his brain is not good, his IQ is enough for him to go home by himself." Who knew that he suddenly changed his mind, instead of leaving, he even got on top of the senior and ran out by himself."

"Run out..." Liao Qingshu's mind was spinning rapidly.All the signs indicated that only one tenth of the transformed snake had come to look for Yiji, and remembering that Xiao Lin said that he disliked disaster beasts, he immediately reacted: "Could it be that he is looking for trouble with disaster beasts everywhere?"

"Almost." Muman said, "I heard from him that he met a man named 'Guru', who told him that there are still some disaster beasts in this city, and he also gave him a list. So the loach I just want to pack up all these disaster beasts and bring them back to the mountain and sea realm—don’t ask me why he’s crazy, I don’t know. He’s a fool, he’s not brainy, but his strength is not weak. I chased him all the way, but he was always a step behind ..."

Just as Muman finished speaking, a sneer suddenly sounded behind the two of them.Fang Zheyi brushed past them without squinting, and his cool words fell down, full of sarcasm: "It's so righteous, it makes us exorcists feel ashamed. But this snake is picky enough, I don’t want to take the disaster beasts near my house, but go to find the ones that live far away, and it’s not too troublesome to stretch my hands so long.”

"I said the list was given by the 'mentor', why are you so angry here?" Mu Man got annoyed when he saw Fang Zheyi, so he simply went around to the other side of Liao Qingshu.Liao Qingshu frowned, took half a step back calmly, changed from the position between the two to behind Muman, and said slowly: "I seem to have heard the title of 'mentor' somewhere..."

"Isn't it often shown on this TV? 'Iwantyou!'" Muman gestured exaggeratedly, "—it looks like this."

"No, it's another place." Liao Qingshu waved his hand, trying to remember, suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, "That's right! Tao Quan! He said at that time that the 'mentor' wanted to kill him..."

"You know him?" Muman's expression became serious all of a sudden, "Who is that man? I used every leaf I could find, but I couldn't find any news about him."

"I don't know." Liao Qingshu shook his head, "But Jiufang said that he might be some monster black boss or something..."

"Well, you can't wipe much cheese." Qiao Xiren turned back with a smile, "He tore up big monsters and ranked second on the blacklist of the Exorcist Department. It's a pity that we can't wow him..."

Liao Qingshu silently translated the last sentence, and couldn't help feeling that the chief was big enough to dare to talk about such things as not being able to catch monsters.Fang Zheyi couldn't listen anymore, and interjected: "Teacher, did you accidentally bite your tongue again? I brought you medicine, you can use it to rub some." By the way, let your mouth rest, don't just talk something inappropriate.

"Crab crab." These two words were pronounced quite clearly.Qiao Xiren probably felt that he was tired of talking like this, so he simply shut up.Fang Zheyi's shoulders slumped slightly, then tensed up again in an instant, and he said to Muman: "If it's what you said, then your family's oil bottle is probably not intelligent enough to be used by others - counting the family's immigrant Beasts, he has captured a total of eight Calamity Beasts, without exception, all of them are opponents of that 'mentor'."

Hey, so eight of them have been captured?

Liao Qingshu blushed.As a staff member of the Mountain Management Office, he doesn't know anything, which is too embarrassing.

Muman: "Anyone?"

"It's the person who refuses to surrender." Fang Zheyi said, "This 'mentor' has been secretly expanding his power and is very threatening, but because he has never done anything to human beings and his identity is well hidden, we There is no way to deal with him, he is a very troublesome figure."

Muman said unhappily: "So, if you don't have enough IQ, you deserve to be trapped in the mountain and sea world, and you will be tricked when you come out..."

"However." Fang Zheyi interrupted Muman unhurriedly, "The crime of turning into a snake is not only that - he is also suspected of killing a working exorcist and taking away his Gou Dai, that's the main reason we hunted him down."

Liao Qingshu's expression changed immediately, but Mu Man didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem, and said lightly: "Who, the dog brought it?"

"It's not the dog belt you thought!" Fang Zheyi dismissed it without thinking, but after thinking about it, Muman's statement seemed to be correct, so he had to let him go: "It's a special exorcist from the Exorcist Department. Twelve hours ago, his body was found drowned in the bathtub of his home, the body was badly mutilated. After our investigation, we found that the snake had been haunting near his residence, carrying his dog bag ... That bag is also called the Qiankun bag, a magic weapon that can only be applied for by senior exorcists and above, and it can hold a small villa at most. Judging from the testimony of eyewitnesses and surveillance video, the dog bag was in the hands of Hua Snake He also used it to pack and take away those disaster beasts."

"Even if it's in his hands, it can't prove that he killed the person. Maybe it's the same as the list, that dog... Qiankun bag was obtained from others by turning into a snake?" Liao Qingshu said, "By the way, who came up with this name? What? It's uncomfortable."

"It's just a joke." Fang Zheyi said indifferently, "It's just a bag. The exorcist goes out to fight. If he can't fight, it's very convenient to put himself in the bag and survive. Of course, there is also a saying that there was once an exorcist. Playing NP with others inside..."

Liao Qingshu: "..."

"In short." Fang Zheyi continued, "That snake is now the fugitive who is being hunted down. Since you are related to the fugitive, you should come with us first."

Liao Qingshu's heart skipped a beat: "Well, wait a minute, I still have work today..."

"Throw it aside." Fang Zheyi said in a tone of "nothing to do with me".

"Then stay here and take care of the food." To Liao Qingshu's surprise, Muman, who had been saying "in a hurry", accepted the reality obediently. They are connected with the crazy tree that climbs the window sill and turns outward.

"I need water and sleep." Muman simply put forward the conditions.Fang Zheyi looked at him twice, and replied: "Only mineral water, I think you can sleep in the car."

Liao Qingshu: "Car?"

"Couldn't you just walk over there without taking a car?" Fang Zheyi said, "Now that the management is strict, space transfer and Yujian are both banned by the Chief of Order. If you want to pursue speed, you have to drive through the underworld."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several black unlicensed cars rising from the ground and stopping in front of them with a heavy sense of death and depression.Liao Qingshu watched Qiao Xiren and Fang Zheyi walking towards one of them, and was hesitating whether to follow, but an exorcist got out of the car and led them to the other car.

"Guess how that uncle bit his tongue?" Mu Man secretly whispered to Liao Qingshu, "He fell while chasing me and knocked his front teeth down! It's so easy! I was still going back to help him Caught!"

Liao Qingshu: "..."

Such a guy...is he really the chief?

By the way, is he really not a ghost?

Liao Qingshu still felt unreal.

After being led into the car by the exorcist, Liao Qingshu sat down obediently in the back row, only to find that Muman was led to sit in another car.He looked out of the car window strangely, took out the PHS from his pocket, and turned it on hesitantly, wondering if he should send a message to Jiufang Ziyan.Suddenly there was a sound of the car door on the side, and someone got in. Looking back, it was Qiao Xiren.

"Hi." Qiao Xiren greeted Liao Qingshu friendly, "You don't have to worry about your friend, he was just assigned to another car - this car is classified, there are places for people, and places for monsters, this is Rules, no chaos."

I don't know what kind of medicine this uncle is on, and he speaks sharply all of a sudden, croaking, quickly revealing his love for talking.Liao Qingshu smiled politely, and asked a little cautiously: "So, this car is specially for half-demons?"

"No, no, no, that's not entirely true." Qiao Xiren said, patting the seat under him, "This car is actually for half-savage beasts. I used to be the only one in it, but today it's rare to have one." It’s good to be alone with me.”

Liao Qingshu's smile froze at the corner of her mouth.

Eh, a half beast?

He stammered, "I, I always thought you were a ghost..."

"Because of that thing about An Muxi?" Josh Ren smiled, "I used magic at that time, and I put a barrier on myself, so no one else can see me except you."

"Ah, that's it." Liao Qingshu nodded, covering her face with her hand, "I thought you were going to take revenge...and burn paper money for you."

Qiao Xiren laughed and patted Liao Qingshu gently: "Thank you, thank you, I am very touched."

"There is nothing to thank." Liao Qingshu felt that she was really stupid, "I should thank you. You saved me at that time."

"It's nothing, I was investigating that incident at the time." Qiao Xiren said, his voice gradually sank, "At that time, several students in the isolation class were killed one after another, and the investigation by the security department had no results. I really can't wait It’s a pity that so many good children just disappeared.”

Liao Qingshu's eyes drooped slightly, thinking of her classmate who was killed, she felt sad.After a while, he looked up at Qiao Xiren: "Well, Teacher Qiao, you just said that you are also a half-fierce beast..."

"I have a part of the blood of the roe owl, which is often called 'glutton'." Qiao Xiren said, taking off his coat and handing it to Liao Qingshu, "Are you cold? You're so wet. Come on, Put it on first, because we will go through the underworld later, it will be colder, and it will be bad if you get wind evil. Hey, Xiao Zhao." He asked the driver in front of him, "Have you turned on the heater? Turn on the heater."

Liao Qingshu was flattered and declined a few words, but Qiao Xiren still covered her with a coat.Not long ago, he was drenched by the collapsed water wall. He didn't say anything, but in fact he was wet and cold and uncomfortable. Seeing that the coat was indeed warm, he was rude.Qiao Xiren continued: "Where did we just talk about, oh yes, Taotie... It is said that this guy likes to eat, right? I'm not like him. I don't eat much, but I get fat easily."

"There is also a gluttonous mixed-race student in our class, she is a girl." Liao Qingshu couldn't help but continued, and unconsciously put down the keyboard in her hand. "She eats a lot. Every time we go out to eat buffet, we will bring her with me. It's especially enough... Her food expenses are always not enough, and she has to borrow money everywhere at the end of the month. Now she still owes me [-] .”

"Ha, that's really annoying." Qiao Xiren laughed unceremoniously, "You can try to treat her to dinner, and tell her after she finishes eating. If she doesn't pay back, you won't pay."

Liao Qingshu couldn't help laughing too.Few people would be willing to listen to him tell what happened in the isolation class.

"I guess I won't have this chance." He said regretfully, "She has been sent back to human society, and all her contact information has been changed. Now I don't even know if she is still in this city."

"We will meet each other by fate, and it is precious enough to be able to accompany each other for such a long time." Qiao Xiren patted Liao Qingshu on the shoulder reassuringly, "But you are quite unique, and the days you stay are comparable to the days you left Much sadder."

Liao Qingshu: "Didn't you stay here too? You even became the chief exorcist." In his opinion, this was something that he couldn't even imagine.

"I didn't expect that I would become an exorcist." Qiao Xiren's voice suddenly dropped, and he turned his head to look out the window. "This can only be said to be a very sad accident."

The carriage was quiet for a while, Liao Qingshu didn't know why she was silent, she just felt that she shouldn't talk at this time, so she could give this uncle some time to miss his lost youth or something else.He turned his head to look at Qiao Xiren's long gray hair that was bent over his shoulder, and noticed that there was an empty hole in his right ear.

Does this mean... already out of the closet?

Liao Qingshu was surprised, but Qiao Xiren seemed to have finished remembering, and turned his head to continue chatting with him.While chatting and laughing, the car drove out of the underworld without knowing it. Liao Qingshu glanced out and said, "This road doesn't seem to be going back to the Exorcism Department."

"Not going back to the Exorcist Department, let's go to the suburbs first." Josh Ren said, "There is a demon bird named Shengyu perched there. We suspect that he will be another target of the Snake. If we are lucky, we may be able to block it there." To the snake."

Only then did Liao Qingshu understand why Muman acted so calmly - he probably guessed that these exorcists would take them to find the snake.

Liao Qingshu thought about this matter and had to talk to the person in charge of the mountain, but she didn't really want to find Jiufang Ziyan, so she called Jiufang Chongjun directly.After hanging up, I saw Qiao Xiren looking at him with interest: "Are you calling Jiufang?"

Liao Qingshu forced a smile, and said, "No, I'm just talking to the director...you don't mind?"

"It's okay, after all, it was a moth stabbed by a mountain and sea beast, and the management office of the mountain should get involved." Qiao Xiren said sarcasm in a very sincere tone, which made Liao Qingshu's head black. "I just thought you two had a good relationship." Qiao Xiren added, "After all, he also taught you enchantment."

"Oh, you said that." Liao Qingshu felt a little embarrassed, "That's just a small spell he taught by chance."

"It's not a 'little spell', right? That technique looks like the Jiufang family's unique enchantment. It looks simple, but it's actually very difficult to practice well. To weave as firmly as you, ordinary people have to practice at least once. Years... By the way, how long have you studied?"

"Probably... two or three months." Liao Qingshu said blankly.Qiao Xiren smiled and said, "Then your talent is not bad, it's really rare."

"Thank you." Liao Qingshu rubbed her nose, "But Jiufang keeps calling me stupid."

"Jiufang is a genius, no wonder." Qiao Xiren said, "As for him, he is so talented that he takes it for granted that everyone in the world is like him, and he can teach even the most difficult spells easily, regardless of others. Can you understand it? Some people can't learn it by life and death, and he doesn't care if he is bullying others."

"Is that so?" Seeing Qiao Xiren nodded in a serious manner, Liao Qingshu didn't bother to take care of her family's face, and smiled unceremoniously: "This guy is really... stupid."

"Well, it's a little bit. But he's still a good person." Qiao Xiren started to speak for Jiufang Ziyan instead, "Jiufang Jiufang looks fierce and difficult to get along with, but he is actually very good, especially When he treats you as his own person, he protects his weaknesses and covers everything that happens, just like the big brother. It’s just that he’s a bit irritable and doesn’t know how to speak, so others don’t always realize that he has accepted his love. Department of Exorcism In fact, many people here have received his favor, but because of his attitude, most of them don't like him."

"Like a bulldog who doesn't know how to please people." Liao Qingshu thought of Jiufang Ziyan's slanted mouth for ten thousand years, and wanted to laugh, but couldn't, feeling a little blocked for no reason.Qiao Xiren nodded and said: "Actually, I am more inclined to compare him to a knife - others think he is a sword, and if he is cut without bleeding, they think his blade is blunt. But I don't know, what I am facing , It’s actually the back of the knife.”

Liao Qingshu was silent, recalling the quarrel that broke out not long ago, her expression gradually froze.So what I am facing now is the edge of the knife or the back of the knife?Or is it like what Qiao Xiren said, showing off his power at the back of a sword without knowing it?

"Speaking of which, the exorcist who died also had a very good relationship with Jiufang Ziyan." Qiao Xiren said suddenly, "He was a special class trained by Jiufang Ziyan. It is said that the two have known each other since childhood."

"Really?" Liao Qingshu said absently, "His surname is also Jiufang?"

"No, his surname is Bai." Qiao Xiren said, "Bai Shiyu, have you heard of it?"
