National Rare Monster Illustrated Book

"Little black snake."

With slender and well-articulated fingers interlocking, Qin Mo leaned against the head of the bed, no particular joy or anger could be seen in his deep eyes.

"Can you say that again."

Shen Qing: "..."

He paused, and said calmly: "I stayed by my mother's side until I was three hundred years old, and after my mother died, I came to the world—Song Xiao was the first person I met, and I was with him For a while, then he tried to grab me and I ran away."

"Three hundred years old,"

Qin Mo said, "That's really a little snake."

Adulthood means the beginning of spiritual intelligence for a demon, from a chaotic beast to being able to transform into a human form, with self-awareness, similar to the adolescent stage of human beings.

"Well, at that time, I didn't know much about the entanglement between transvestites. After we separated from Song Xiao, I experienced some things... Then he suddenly wanted to kill me, so I killed him."

[Little Black Snake, I will come to find you again. ]

[You have to remember me, keep it in your heart, don't...don't forget. ]

As if the bloody words were still in his ears, Shen Qing silently lowered his eyelashes, with a tired look on his face.

Qin Mo said: "Come here."

Shen Qing approached him, and Qin Mo wrapped his arms around his shoulders, holding him tightly in his arms.

"The treasure I hold in my heart has been trampled on like this..."

The man's voice was deep, implying the haze before the storm, "Little Black Snake, these words of yours make people not very happy."

Shen Qing: "..."

He opened his mouth, wanting to say that you actually said something similar many years ago.

Qin Mo: "So let me kiss you."

Shen Qing: "..."

Even after saying that sentence, what to say next has not changed.

He thought blankly, and said, "No."

"That won't work,"

Rubbing the pale lips of the young man with his fingertips, Qin Mo frowned sharply, "It's all in my hands, and you still want to escape?"

Shen Qing for the third time: "..."

The order of these words is not changed.

He met the man's playful eyes, and before he had time to do anything, he quickly moved over and touched his lips lightly.

"Okay, go to sleep."

After doing all this, Shen Qing nestled herself under the quilt, ignored Qin Mo's laughter beside her, and closed her eyes.

"What a little snake."

The bedside lamp was turned off, Shen Qing felt the bed beside him sink, the man embraced him from behind, and dropped a light kiss on the back of his neck.

It's a bit itchy...don't let him touch it next time.

Thinking of this, Shen Qing fell asleep in Qin Mo's arms.

-

Early the next morning, Shen Qing, who was drowsy, was carried into the car by Qin Mo and brought to Li Furun's funeral.

"Wake up now,"

He whispered beside Shen Qing's ear, "Little Black Snake, do you want me to carry you in?"

"..."

Shen Qing opened her eyes in a daze, before she could hear Qin Mo's words, she instinctively said "no", and then Qin Mo fed her freshly warmed milk.

The pure and rich milk fragrance warms the internal organs.After Shen Qing drank a glass of milk, she became more awake and less sleepy.

He lazily raised his eyes and glanced at the funeral venue, and said, "Don't you go with me, I will be distracted."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here."

Qin Mo opened the car door for him and watched him get out of the car.

Outside the funeral venue, Shen Qing ran into Du Hao'an by accident.

He looked sleepy, and almost bumped into Shen Qing as if he had lost his soul, but the latter avoided him sideways.

Shen Qing said: "Are you crazy?"

"...Ah, it's you."

Du Haoan looked up listlessly, "Not crazy."

He slowly took out a photo from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Qing.

"I found Li Tong's photo from my grandfather's room yesterday,"

He said, "Later, I asked my dad about the past and was scolded by him... Anyway, I think Uncle Li and my dad may have some secrets about Li Tong's death."

What Du Haoan held in his hand was an old photo from more than ten years ago. In the photo, a woman in a white dress was sitting quietly by the window, her eyes were empty and out of focus.

Shen Qing said: "For example, Li Tong actually doesn't like your father. It was your father who forced her, and Li Furun acted as an accomplice in it—this kind of secret?"

Du Haoan: "..."

"I heard that a nephew of Uncle Li who had a close relationship with him also died. If it's true as you said, then it's a murderous soul."

He lowered his head and said, "There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that ghosts kill people, and as a demon catcher, I must get rid of her."

Shen Qing said: "Then you demon hunters are really gentlemen who punish evil and promote good."

Du Haoan: "..."

With his head down depressed, he followed Shen Qing into the mourning hall.

Li Furun didn't have much contact with the Li family during his lifetime, and the Li family was not very familiar with his interpersonal relationships except for the dead Li Jianwei, so when Shen Qing said that he and Du Haoan were the sons of Li Furun's old friend, the Li family did not doubt their identities .

The mourning hall was full of people walking around, but not many cries could be heard.As soon as Shen Qing entered the mourning hall, she didn't know where to go, while Du Hao'an stood silently in front of the portrait for a while, bowed down and bowed.

When he got up, a thin cry came from one side.Du Haoan followed the cry and saw a woman in white gauze standing in a corner with her head bowed, her shoulders twitching and sobbing.

Du Hao'an felt that something was wrong for no reason, he walked towards the woman quickly, his brows were already wrinkled before he got close.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the woman's crying didn't look like crying, but more like... laughing.

Du Hao'an walked up to the woman and lightly patted her on the shoulder.

"what happened to you?"

"..."

The woman didn't speak, she lowered her head and "cryed" as if unknown, until Du Hao'an asked several times before slowly raising her head, revealing... a smiling face under the white veil.

Du Haoan was taken aback, wondering why this face looked so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Where... is it a photo?photo, photo...

Du Haoran's pupils shrank.

He remembered this face, it was... Li Tong's face!

"you!"

He tried to grab the woman's arm, but accidentally missed it.The woman stared at him with a smile for a while, then turned around, and went out directly through the wall and disappeared outside.

Someone screamed not far away, probably just witnessed this terrifying scene.Du Hao'an didn't care about other things, and quickly took out the compass in his sleeve to chase after him. The pointer of the compass turned quickly, and finally pointed directly in one direction.

Due West, 300 meters.

Du Haoan started to run, unexpectedly he ran fast, the female ghost floated even faster, after more than ten minutes, Du Haoan chased after... the female ghost kneeling at the feet of the young man with black hair.

"Just in time,"

Shen Qing said, "Come and dig the soil."

Du Haoan: "Huh?"

Shen Qing tapped the ground: "The two meters underground is where her bones are buried."

The female ghost bowed her head and knelt on the ground without saying a word, digging the dirt on the ground slowly and stiffly with her hands.

Of course she couldn't touch the soil, so Du Haoan took out a piece of blank talisman paper and pasted it on the ground, and took out a cinnabar pen to draw special runes.

The last stroke fell, and the ground sank at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than half a minute, a dense white bone appeared between the dirty soil.

Seeing the bone, the female ghost stood up and bowed to Shen Qing, and then disappeared out of thin air.

Du Haoan said: "Is she back in her body?"

"Yes, it seems that the two uncles and nephews of the Li family were indeed killed by her,"

Shen Qing said, "Murting human life and doing a lot of evil is really unacceptable."

"……what?"

Du Haoan was stunned for a moment, "What are you talking about?"

"She has become a ghost and should be removed."

"What? But didn't you just say—"

"Killing is killing, what is there to say."

Shen Qing glanced at him, "Aren't you a demon catcher? It is your responsibility to kill demons and eliminate demons. Kill her."

Du Hao'an: "..." He recalled what Shen Qing said to him before, and felt that there was nothing wrong with this person in front of him.

"No, wait, I think there might be something hidden here, we can't—"

"The facts are in front of you, but you are partial to a ghost?"

Shen Qing coldly interrupted him, turned to the side, "Do you think so—Master Du."

Du Haoan was startled, and looked up to see Du Rusong, who appeared here for some reason, walking towards them with a mahogany sword in his hand.

His complexion is still not very good, but his voice is cold, without ups and downs: "Indeed, the dog's words and deeds are shameless, which makes Mr. Ji laugh."

Du Haoan: "Dad!"

Du Rusong ignored him: "Sir, don't worry, I will kill this ghost with my own hands."

"Since Patriarch Du made the move, I can rest assured."

Shen Qing nodded, and then walked away without looking back.

Du Haoan watched helplessly as his back disappeared from sight, unable to comprehend what happened for a moment.

"Dad, this is Li Tong's corpse!"

"Because it's her, I have to remove it myself."

Du Rusong said, "Hao'an, I betrayed you and your mother because she seduced me back then. I have kept this account for many years, and now she came out to kill you, Uncle Li—"

"But there is no proof!"

Du Haoan said, "I can't feel a ghost killing people at home, can't you feel it?"

"Shut up! As a monster catcher, how can you speak for a ghost!"

Du Rusong scolded angrily, "If you say one more word, you will be punished, go back now!"

Du Haoan: "...I don't!"

Du Rusong raised his sword to stab the pile of bones, but he held it tightly with his hand covered with talisman paper.

Du Rusong froze first, then sneered.

"Even I dared to disobey,"

He said, "Alright, anyway, you want to..."

Without going on with the second half of the sentence, Du Hao'an said in a daze, "What happened back then? Dad, what did you do to Li Tong?"

"You should ask her what she did to me!"

A cold light flashed across Du Rusong's sleeves, blood spattered on Du Hao'an's chest.

The sharp pain of the thin blade cutting through the flesh made him stunned for a moment, and it took a few seconds to react belatedly... He was bleeding and was kicked down by his father.

Du Rusong rode on Du Haoan's body, the dagger in his hand lay across Du Haoan's neck.

His expression was ferocious, and a fierce light shone in his eyes.

"Why did I lose my memory, why did I lose all my mana and mana, why did I become a useless person after being rescued by her! Isn't she seducing me while I am losing my memory so that I can enter my Du's house in the future? This Bitch, she ruined me!"

"You...you lost all your mana?!"

Du Haoan said, "Aren't you fine—wait!"

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and at that moment he suddenly realized something.

"Li Tong's child was killed by you—"

"yes,"

Du Rusong smiled sinisterly, "One child is not enough, there are two more, two are not enough, and there is a third—you!"

His hand suddenly exerted force——

"madman."

Stepping on his shoulder with one foot, Mo Faqing spit out two words in an understatement, and kicked him with one foot.

Du Rusong spat out a mouthful of blood, and was kicked several meters away, dragging a deep ditch on the ground.

Du Hao'an got up from the ground, touched his neck, and felt the blood on his hands.

He looked at Shen Qing who was going back and forth, and suddenly realized something.

"You lured him out on purpose...he wanted to kill me,"

He murmured, "My dad really wants to kill me..."

Shen Qing picked up the dagger on the ground and cut through the clothes of the unconscious Du Rusong.

"You're not the first child he's going to kill, come here."

Du Hao'an walked over numbly, only to see two bumps on Du Rusong's body, and he could barely tell it was the baby's wrinkled face, most of which had already rotted away.

Shen Qing said: "Refining infants."

Infant refining is an extremely sinister forbidden technique, which uses blood-linked and unborn fetuses as sacrifices to provide the caster with powerful life and mana.

"..."

Du Haoan's face turned pale, and he took a step back.

At this moment, Du Rusong struggled to wake up, his face changed drastically when he saw Shen Qing, and the latter stepped on his shoulder.

"Infant refining is bound to suffer a backlash. When you are running out of time, someone finds you."

The young man leaned over slightly, with a few strands of black hair hanging down his pale jaw, and the corners of his lips slightly curled up, carrying a bit of cold malice.

"The man told you that as long as you keep the owner of the Dementor Bell, you can help you, so you did what he said, but you never saw him again after that."

Du Rusong: "You—"

"Li Furun, who knew your secret, died suddenly. You thought that the incident back then was leaked, so you hurriedly killed Li Jianwei, who also participated in that incident. But this still couldn't stop you from being backlashed, so you decided to give it a try. The rest of the blood will be used."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Du Rusong coughed up blood violently, with a look of horror on his face, "You, how do you know?!"

Shen Qing: "Guess."

Du Rusong: "..."

He didn't catch his breath and almost choked himself to death.

Shen Qing straightened up and said flatly: "But you didn't expect that Li Tong has been unable to escape for so many years. She has been looking for her bones and hinted the truth to me."

"the truth……"

There was no trace of blood on Du Hao'an's face, and he said blankly and blankly, "What happened back then?"

Shen Qing said: "I told you."

——The truth of the year was covered up by many bloody hands.

Many years ago, an ordinary girl named Li Tong rescued a man who had lost his memory. She kept him at home temporarily, but she never thought that the man fell in love with her so much.

It just so happened that Li Furun came to visit Li Tong's house at this time, because he had met Du Rusong once by chance, so he immediately recognized the Du's eldest son and saw that he liked Li Tong.In order to cling to the Du family, he resorted to some tricks to allow Du Rusong to have a relationship with Li Tong as he wished - even though Li Tong didn't like Du Rusong.

After the incident, Li Tong drove Du Rusong and Li Furun out of the house in a rage and was about to sue them in court, but a sudden disaster happened. Her parents died in a car accident.At this time, Li Furun realized that this was another opportunity, so he sent his cousin Li Jianwei to appease Li Tong, and arranged a grand funeral for her parents.Du Rusong also took the opportunity to approach Li Tong again, comforting her, asking her how she was, and caring for her—finally, not long after Li Tong found out that she was pregnant, she was disheartened, gave up life completely, and accepted Du Rusong's existence.

Afterwards, the Du family found Du Rusong and restored his memory. When the memory was restored, the Du family's son was horrified to find that he had lost all his mana and became a disabled person.

Du Rusong was once the proud son of the Du family, but now he is useless—unable to accept this fact, his love for Li Tong has completely disappeared, and he even vented his hatred on her.

He took Li Tong back to Du's house in retaliation, let her see that he and his wife were lingering in love, and in order to keep his position in Du's house, he secretly imposed a forbidden law. When Li Tong committed suicide in despair, he cut open her stomach and used that The newly formed fetus got back his mana—and it was Li Furun and Li Jianwei's two uncles and nephews who helped him do this.

"You have four lives on your hands, one is your accomplice, two are your children, and one is someone you loved."

"Love?!"

Du Rusong said angrily, "The most regretful thing I've ever done in my life is touching that bitch and dirtying myself—"

Du Hao'an rushed over fiercely, picked up the mahogany sword and threw it at Du Rusong, knocking him unconscious.

Shen Qing: "..."

After doing all this, Du Haoan fell to the ground exhausted, and buried his face between his elbows.

Shen Qing looked at him for a while and said, "You can cry now."

"...Don't cry, do me a favor,"

Du Haoan took out his mobile phone, and handed it over without raising his head, "Call my second uncle and ask him to come and take my dad away."

Demon catching masters are not allowed to hurt people. Du Rusong has several lives in his hands, and he has already violated the law of catching demons. He should be taken away by the demon committee for trial.

Shen Qing took the phone and sent a text message to Du He, then put the phone back at Du Haoan's feet.

"Posted."

"..."

Du Hao'an didn't take back his phone, he lowered his head without saying a word, as if he had fallen asleep.

A familiar black car drove up not far away, and Shen Qing waited on the spot for a few more minutes. Du Haoan still didn't move, so he turned and left alone.

There was a familiar figure missing from the back row of the car, Shen Qing frowned slightly, and heard Lu Ge in the driver's seat turn around and say: "Sir, there is something urgent at the moment, he told you not to worry about him, he will be back soon."

"Um,"

Shen Qing said, "Take me to Du's house."

"Ok."

Lu Ge started the car, drove straight forward, and stopped steadily in front of Du's house half an hour later.

The door of Du's residence was opened, and the outer courtyard was desolate and deserted, with no one there.

Shen Qing walked through the outer courtyard and came to the living room.The gentle and dignified lady sat quietly on the sofa, and the light golden sunlight shone down, outlining a demure painting of beauties.

"Mr. Ji, did you come back so early today?"

Xue Shuya smiled and said, "I ordered the kitchen to make thick millet porridge, and it will be ready to drink later."

"no need,"

Shen Qing sat down in front of her, and said politely, "I came here to ask my wife for something."

Xue Shuya said: "Mr. has helped the Du family so much, just say it. But you can take whatever I have."

Shen Qing said: "Then, can you give me another soul-destroying bell--my snake bone?"

"..."

After a brief silence, the smile on Xue Shuya's face remained unchanged, and she slowly gathered the shawl on her shoulders.

"Since it belongs to Mr. Ji, of course it should be returned in its original form,"

She said, "Please wait a moment, I will fetch it for you."

She gracefully got up and went to the second floor, and when she came back, she had a small box in her hand.

"This is what you want."

"Thank you,"

The box fell gently on the palm of his hand, and Shen Qing said slowly, "By the way, I want to ask you another question."

Xue Shuya said: "Well, you can ask."

"You killed Li Furun before, and then played a scene in front of me in order to erase your suspicion."

Shen Qing said, "Are you doing this because of your child?"

"..."

There was another round of silence, and after a while, Xue Shuya sighed helplessly in the face of Shen Qing's calm gaze.

"You really..."

"It's not very flattering," she said.

Shen Qing said: "Because what I said is the truth."

"OK then."

The well-maintained slender white hands folded, Xue Shuya calmly looked at Shen Qing, and whispered softly:

"I killed people, so what?"
