My cubs are all blackened

That day, Ye Lian, who knew nothing about the outside world, saw the crowd for the first time that he couldn't count with his fingers.

They surrounded Ye Lian's hut, whispering constantly, especially when the door of Ye Lian's room was opened by the owner with a key, and seeing his appearance, the discussion became louder.

"Just choose him, it's very suitable..."

"No one will be sad..."

Some trivial words came into Ye Lian's ears. Although he didn't understand what happened at all, Ye Lian instinctively sensed a trace of uneasiness.

While several young and strong men were slowly walking towards him, Ye Lian narrowed his eyes, threw the heavy books on the table at them, and immediately ran out the door with agility.

If he can escape from this cage, if he can leave this land he hates, will he be able to live freely like other people.

The vast sky emerged from his blue eyes, and the fresh air and warm sunshine outside brought him a novel feeling that he had never experienced before.

At that moment, his eyes showed a bright light, longing and joy appeared between his brows and eyes, which made him show a very happy smile for the first time in his life.

However, a gloomy shadow suddenly shrouded his head. Someone grabbed his arm and pressed him firmly to the ground, someone else pushed his back, and someone else restrained his body nape of neck.

Ye Lian, who didn't move around often and was in extremely poor physical condition, had no way of escaping from the group of strong adults.

The 15-year-old was forcefully pressed on the cold ground, struggling in pain. The gravel on the ground rubbed against his pale body, leaving dazzling scratches on it.

But in the end, he was still bound by thick ropes.

Obviously the front door is the gate of the courtyard, and freedom is not far from him, but this short distance of a few meters has missed him.

The hope in his eyes was shattered.

Along with that bit of human emotion.

The people who locked him were all unfamiliar faces that he had never seen before, and the one who stared at him with disgust in the farthest distance was the head of Ye Lian's family.

The Patriarch watched Ye Lian being carried away by a group of people indifferently, without saying a word.

And Ye Lian's so-called mother never appeared in his sight.

Ye Lian was pressed all the way to the gate of the village by the crowd, and tied a rope against a tree trunk. After confirming again and again that he could not run away, the head of the village head-like figure raised his voice and said some goddamn words.

Seeing this, Ye Lian probably understood that they were afraid of a kind of ghost that specialized in eating people, so they offered Ye Lian as a tribute and prayed that the ghost would not attack other people in the village.

Seeing that these people wanted to exchange their own lives for theirs, Ye Lian's complexion suddenly turned ugly. He wanted to struggle, beg, and cry, but the numb emotions and the pride in his bones made him feel uncomfortable. His lips trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.

His face was abnormally pale, and when he looked carefully, there was a slight cold sweat on his forehead, obviously he was not so calm about his own life and death.

He was only 15 years old, and he never went to the outside world to see, never experienced happiness and joy, so he died like this, he was not reconciled.

Perhaps because they were afraid of the attack of ghosts, all the people dispersed, leaving only Ye Lian here alone, waiting for the arrival of the god of death.

But this is also a lucky thing for Ye Lian. Taking advantage of the absence of everyone, Ye Lian secretly removed a piece of sharpened glass hidden in his cuff, and slowly cut the rough rope.

This piece of glass is what he has been wearing all the time as a self-defense weapon, but he did not expect to use it one day.

He rubbed patiently and quickly, even though his wrists were tired and sore, he never stopped.

As long as he untied the rope, he could leave this place quietly, change his identity, and live freely.

This strong desire supported Ye Lian, making his willpower tenacious, and in the end he really broke the rope and escaped successfully.

As soon as he was liberated, Ye Lian desperately fled outside the village.

Even though he was out of breath and his throat was hot as if it was going to burn the blood in his whole body, there was still a bright smile on his face.

Just a little bit, a little bit, he can...

Get out of here!

"Oh, there are actually separate humans in this place."

Suddenly, a strange voice came from not far away, causing the smile on Ye Lian's face to freeze.

"It's so fragrant. Since it's food delivered to your door, you're welcome."

The sound of breaking through the air rang in Ye Lian's ears, and he came to his side in a blink of an eye. Although Ye Lian looked at the people at the first time, his physical fitness was really poor. When he realized it, his shoulders were already There was a sudden pain, and blood gushed out instantly.

"Uhhhh!"

The severe pain almost didn't make Ye Lian fall into a coma, his vision suddenly became hazy, he turned his head, all the flesh and blood on his shoulder was torn off, half of his body was wetted by a large area of ​​bright red, and there were some blurred shadows in front of him. His mouth was covered with blood, and he was still licking his fingers leisurely.

Ye Lian couldn't see his face clearly, but those dark eyes were clearly reflected in his vision for some reason.

There, there are two Chinese characters written.

— Landing.

His legs and feet softened, and Ye Lian fell to the ground. The flow of blood made him clearly feel the threat of death, and fear surged up like a tide.

This is a ghost, a ghost that eats people. For the first time in his life, Ye Lian understood the reason why humans are afraid of ghosts.

But at the same time, what is even more sad for him is that he finally touched the corner of freedom, but today is the day of his death.

Whether it's his poor physical strength or mental power, ghosts don't need to worry about it. This weak human being in front of him will soon become his dinner.

After enjoying Ye Lian's flesh and blood, the ghost approached Ye Lian bit by bit with an excited smile.

He didn't choose a quick fight this time, but enjoyed Ye Lian's expression before his death like a cat teasing a mouse.

However, his arrogance is also his failure.

When he bent down and thought about where it would be better to kill this human being, Ye Lian suddenly stretched out his hand and raised the top, a cloud of dust instantly sprinkled into his pupils, causing him to close his eyes in pain, and at the same time Ye Lian's hand holding the glass also slammed into his eyes.

It's a pity that the hardness of the ghost's body is not something that a small glass can smash through. At most, it will bring some pain to the ghost.

Ye Lian covered his eyes with an irritated expression, Ye Lian seized the opportunity and quickly ran forward.

Of course he knew that with his speed there was no way to escape the ghost's palm, but as long as there was still a chance, he didn't want to give up.

His desire to survive ignited his potential. Even though the blood was constantly flowing, he could feel the lack of vitality, and his brain was so dizzy that he could close his eyes at any time, but he still ran forward desperately.

Please, is there anyone who can save him...

He doesn't want to die yet.

Who can save him, he doesn't want to die without doing anything in just 15 short years.

Tripped by a stone under his feet, Ye Lian suddenly fell to the ground, the pain in his body became a little hazy, his heart failed, and the beating sound was almost inaudible.

Ye Lian knew very well that he was going to die.

For some reason, the ghost behind him didn't catch up, but Ye Lian didn't have time to think about those reasons.

he is dying...

dying……

died……

Death is such a terrible thing.

Maybe after living to a certain age and seeing all kinds of life, some people will meet death calmly.

However, the freedom that Ye Lian has always longed for, the vast world that Ye Lian has always longed for, these wishes have not yet been realized.

He doesn't want to die yet.

Slowly, fragments of these years of life flashed through his mind. In his memory, apart from the cold books, it was the disgusting eyes of those adults.

He will become what he is today, he will die in the mouth of ghosts, all, all are the fault of those people.

This world, this day, this disgusting kinship.

He hates.

hatred!

His palms clenched the weeds on the ground tightly, and bottomless hatred burst out from his eyes. All the dissatisfaction accumulated over the years had been poured out at this moment.

Why treat him like this, he obviously didn't do anything!

If you hated him so much in the first place, why did you let him come into this world.

he hates...

The so-called bond of blood has become the shackles of his life!

He hated those people, and wished he could drag them to be buried with him!

Suddenly, a mouthful of thick blood spewed out from Ye Lian's mouth.

His limbs gradually became cold, and his vital signs began to weaken. Only hatred and the desire to survive lingered in Ye Lian's brain.

In the scorching sun, when everyone was smiling happily, there was a young boy lying alone in the forest, and slowly closed his eyes.

In the cold world, he fell into an eternal sleep.

No one will care about his life, no one will shed a drop of tears for him.

And the boy himself never shed a single tear from beginning to end.

There is no human breath in the deep forest anymore.

Just after a while, there were rustling sounds from the emerald green leaves, and many dark will-o'-the-wisps gathered from all directions. Inspired by a strong resentment and hatred, they headed here instinctively.

More and more gloom enveloped the young man's body, and as the first will-o'-the-wisp jumped into the boy's chest, all the will-o'-the-wisps jumped one after another.

They love this body and are willing to provide their energy to this human being.

--Humanity.

No, this is no longer human.

As early as the moment he closed his eyes, the identity of human being had already left Ye Lian.

When Ye Lian stood in the dark and gloomy forest, opened his indifferent blue eyes and looked forward, there was no joy of being alive in his chest.

Some are just resentment towards the village.

He became a monster.

A youkai reincarnated from a powerful grudge.

He has sharp claws that don't belong to humans, and his figure has been stretched from the original 15 years old to about 20 years old. His ears are slightly pointed, his facial features are stretched, and there is a touch of red at the end of his eyes.

But without any discomfort, Ye Lian accepted this identity. When he became a monster, some things automatically appeared in his mind, such as how to use monster power and how to fly in the sky.

The weak chicken's physical fitness when he was a human is no longer there. Ye Lian jumped up towards the nearest branch, tapped his toes lightly on each branch, and moved quickly.

He came near the village where he was still living in the human period, and used his demonic power to condense a ball of fire. The corners of his lips curled up in excitement, and just like that, the fireball ignited the entire village.

In an instant, the village became a sea of ​​flames.Human cries of exclamation, or screams of pain can be vaguely heard.

Staring at the terrified expressions of those hateful people, Ye Lian felt pleasure in his heart, and he laughed loudly, as if he wanted to vent all the resentment he had held all these years.

But gradually, he felt that all this became boring again.

The pleasure is only temporary, and after that, there is nothing left.

Indifference eroded his heart, making him stare straight at everything in front of him without moving his body.

It wasn't until the fire finally burned down the entire village, and there was no trace of living people in the village, that Ye Lian jumped off the branch and walked aimlessly in the forest, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

The revenge is over, logically speaking, those hatreds have been eliminated, but he has no idea what he should do next.

The wish belonging to the human period has been fulfilled, but as a monster, he has lost the meaning of life.

For the rest, Ye Lian's memory is a little fuzzy, he only knows that he is standing in the forest, standing motionless, his eyes staring at the void, like a statue.

After standing for an unknown amount of time, someone finally broke into his field of vision.

"Yo, what are you doing here?"

Ye Lian raised his head bluntly, his body was a little stiff after a long time in a posture.

He found that the person in front of him had soft white hair, beautiful violet eyes, wearing a white robe, and holding a scepter in his hand.

As for the various decorations on his body... How should I put it, it looks like a warm young man surrounded by flowers.

But Ye Lian noticed that this young man was not a human being, but he was also not a monster. He could only be said to be a special kind of existence.

Although Ye Lian was a little surprised by the appearance of a strange young man, Ye Lian only gave him a cold look, then silently looked away.

Due to years of experience, he has an indifferent attitude towards all individuals, neither curious nor interested.

The young man stared at his face for a while, touched his chin helplessly, and suddenly tapped the ground with his staff.

Following his movements, suddenly, the original emerald green land was instantly covered with flowers all over the mountain.

The colorful flowers amazed Ye Lian's eyes, causing a bright color to appear in his pupils.

Ye Lian has never seen so many flowers, and never knew that just looking at these fragile flowers can brighten his mood.

"For you." The young man handed the most beautiful flower to Ye Lian's palm. Seeing that Ye Lian was holding the flower carefully, even his body was stiff, he couldn't help smiling gently: "Is it beautiful?"

"...It's very beautiful." Perhaps Ye Lian's voice was a little hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time, but there was a slight smile on his face, and he stared down at the soft petals: "I have never touched flowers, and I have never touched them before. I have never seen so many beautiful flowers."

The young man was stunned for a moment, and his lips curled up softly: "It's okay, you will see more from now on."

Hearing his words, Ye Lian couldn't help but look up at him, and the young man stretched his palms to his chest, bent forward slightly, and made an elegant salute: "Nice meeting, my name is Meilin."

The purple eyes narrowed slightly, and Merlin smiled softly: "Then let me ask again, what are you doing here?"

"..."

Ye Lian lowered his eyes, his blue eyes were as beautiful as the flowers in his palm, but unfortunately, those eyes were dull, as if covered with a layer of gray mist.

"Nothing was done."

After thinking about it, he replied in a low voice.

"...it doesn't make sense to do anything."

There's a big hole in my heart that no matter what I do, it won't fill it.

His life has been extended, but he has lost the feeling of longing for freedom when he was a human being. Now he has nothing, just like a flower petal fluttering in the wind, with no home and no future.

"That's it." The strange man who called himself Merlin thought for a moment in distress, then suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "If you feel that there is nothing to do, let me give you an interesting 'task' Sample?"

Ye Lian was startled: "Mission?"

"That's right." Merlin nodded: "The so-called mission is also the torrent of fate. Isn't it a very meaningful and interesting job for you to push the world forward?"

Ye Lian couldn't understand what he meant, and murmured in confusion: "...Fate? What is fate, and can it not be changed?"

"Although I want to say that it's a pity that there are very few people who can change their fate, but what?" Merlin winked at him mischievously: "Fate can actually be changed, but it's just that it's difficult."

Before Ye Lian realized the truth, he added: "Well, even if you think desperately now, you can't come to a conclusion. Everything must be practiced. Since you have nowhere to go, why don't you finish my work?" The task entrusted to you is a good thing for you and me, right?"

"Also..." Merlin raised the scepter horizontally, and pointed one end at Ye Lian's chest, with a serious look on his brows: "You are still unable to complete the task, your heart has been filled with resentment, I can't tolerate anything else, so I want to seal your memory and your emotions."

Ye Lian looked down at his chest, where the organ called the heart was beating according to the frequency, but he couldn't feel the so-called meaning of being alive.

"Seal my emotions and I will understand the meaning of life?"

He looked straight at Merlin.

"Wait until you experience all kinds of emotions in the contact with various people, then all the things you pursue will be displayed in your heart." Merlin smiled at him, and at the same time, the breeze blew up In the sea of ​​flowers on the ground, the sky filled with petals fluttered in the air, confusing Ye Lian's vision.

Ye Lian's eyes became firmer bit by bit. Instead of wandering in this palm-sized forest in confusion, it is better to find a goal, even if it is a goal given by others, and continue to live.

As long as we live, the future holds possibilities.

Although he doesn't know what will happen to him in the future, what kind of people he will meet, but as long as he takes that step, he can embrace a happy ending.

——The meaning of the name 'happiness' that I have never experienced before.

"I agree." Ye Lian nodded in response.

"Good boy." Merlin stretched out his hand rewardingly, stroking Ye Lian's soft hair.

In memory, everyone was afraid of Ye Lian's facial features, but only this young man was still looking at him tenderly, without any color.

"When you really want to get back your emotions and memories, come and call me, and I will give them back to you."

Merlin pressed the scepter against his chest, making the final preparations for the seal.

But before that, Ye Lian suddenly raised his head, looked at him seriously and asked, "Why did you help me, obviously you don't even know my name."

Merlin was stunned for a rare moment, and chuckled lightly: "Speaking of which, I really haven't asked your name yet."

His purple eyes narrowed slightly, and he tilted his head slightly: "Can you tell me your name?"

Unexpectedly, it was such a simple question, but Ye Lian hesitated visibly with the naked eye. After a while, he shook his head: "...as a name in the human period, I have completely given up on it. Now I am a newborn I."

After a pause, he finally spit out a word: "Ye... symbolizes new life, my name."

Born in the forest, full of vitality, bright and dazzling, only his name belongs to.

"Ye, it's a name that matches your beautiful emerald eyes, but the name of just one word is a bit strange, um..." Merlin thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "How about calling me Ye Lian? "

Ye Lian asked suspiciously: "Is there any meaning?"

"That's needless to say." Merlin's scepter suddenly emitted a bright beam of light, enveloping Ye Lian.

Ye Lian took a step back nervously, but the light around him also moved with his position. This was probably the preparation before the seal. Ye Lian looked around helplessly, but he couldn't see the figure of Mei Lin on the opposite side.

However, Merlin's words came clearly from the position in front of him.

"Because Lian represents gentleness."

"I believe that you can become a gentle and strong child. This name is my blessing to you."

"As for why I came to help you... because I saw it, your past, your future..."

-

Ye Lian suddenly woke up from the memory.

He stared blankly at the dim forest in front of him, not knowing where he was for a while.

It wasn't until the figure belonging to Sesshomaru appeared in his field of vision that he realized that everything just now was his memory, the memory sealed by Merlin.

Also the most primitive, the memory of how he became a monster.

Ye Lian put his palms on his face, and took a deep breath. Because the seal was released, a lot of emotions surged out from the bottom of his heart, and the chaos almost occupied his heart.

It turned out to be like this, his emotions were sealed, his memory was sealed, this never-ending task was all because of this...

In the end, all of this was in his service.

In the past, Ye Lian only had resentment in his heart, and lived like a walking dead, but in order to save him, Merlin let him feel the world and feel the warmth in the form of missions.

As a result, he is now more human and warmer than before.

He is no longer the cold self he used to be.

"how do you feel?"

Sesshoumaru sat beside him, looking at his face calmly.

This is the inadvertent gentleness of the big demon, and Ye Lian is also very warm about this.

Ye Lian looked up at him, with a silent smile on his lips.

--Awful.

The author has something to say: So far, Ye Lian has started his mission journey.

His emotions were sealed, so he couldn't understand the meaning of love, but as he came into contact with various people, his emotions became richer little by little.

As for Merlin, is it completely private?I don't know if he has the ability to seal memories.

This is where it all started~
