Are you afraid?

"I think we'd better go first," Nie Xi said.

Nie Xi helped Zhang Zhiping up.

"Ma Qiang, that..." Uncle Ma was a little tongue-tied.

"Some things, it's better to talk while eating." Ma Qiang kicked away the puppy at his feet, walked slowly, and walked in front of Nie Xi and the others.

"What do you want to tell us?" Nie Xi asked.

Ma Qiang smiled. "What you want to know."

"Since we're here, there's nothing wrong with waiting a moment longer," Incubus said. "It's okay to listen to what you have to say."

Nie Xi sat back down again.

"That's good." Ma Qiang took the bag in his hand and went to the back kitchen.

A figure flashed out from the back kitchen, it seemed to be Uncle Ma's wife, but she didn't come out at all and left in a flash.

"You sit down, I... I'll help." Uncle Ma scratched the top of his head, laughed, stood up and walked back.

Nie Xi had already noticed Uncle Ma's cell phone on the cabinet next to him. He took advantage of the other party's approach and opened it to take a look.

It's an elderly phone with a little battery left, and it looks like it hasn't been charged for at least a week.

Nie Xi held it in his hand, and went to an empty room next to him to make a phone call. Incubus followed in, and seemed to have something to say.

Seeing that both of them went in, Zhang Zhiping saw that Ice Lemon Tea was sitting on the side and was very interested in the puppy, so he hugged the dog and chatted with him.

Nie Xi didn't forget to turn around and tell him that the iced lemon tea shouldn't touch the dog, so he closed the door behind him.

"Did you find anything?"

"You must have noticed the strangeness here, but I think their family still has a human atmosphere." Incubus said.

Is that so? Nie Xi became even more curious about what happened here.

"Use my wings to sneak a look at the window behind the kitchen. They probably don't have any special abilities and won't be able to spot you," Incubus said.

"Okay, I'll call Ma Zhuangming first."

Nie Xi used the mobile phone in his hand to call Ma Zhuangming in his memory, and the other party quickly answered.

"Hello? Who is it?" Ma Zhuangming's voice was full of joy.

"I'm Nie Xi, how are you doing recently?" Nie Xi asked.

"Very good, you are back, do you have time to have a meal together?"

Ma Zhuangming's attitude is much more normal. I don't know if the strangeness of Uncle Ma's family is just one family, or Ma Zhuangming's disguise is better.

"This phone is running out of battery. To make a long story short, something seems to be going wrong in this world recently. You can send me an address. I'm in my hometown now, not far from your home. I'll send you a Realm Gate later. If you If you can’t find me in danger, go to Jingli Waterfall’s Kemi’s house to hide.”

Ma Zhuangming agreed repeatedly, and sent a text message to the address after a while.

Nie Xi took it to heart and deleted the text message.

Just as Nie Xi was about to go out, he remembered that he could ask Jing Jingwei again. Although they lived far away from this village, they were more familiar with the dream world, so they might have heard something.

Nie Xi called Jingti again.

"Beep...beep..."

"Hello? Who?" The orderly voice seemed to be running.There was a loud panting sound from the receiver.

"It's me, Nie Xi." Nie Xi asked.

"Nie Xi, you are finally back, don't trust anyone, here..." Jing Jing was talking when the phone was cut off suddenly.

Nie Xi picked up the phone and took a look, only to find that the phone he was using had run out of battery.

After hesitating for a moment, Nie Xi still planned to figure out the secret here first, and then found a phone to ask about the order.

They opened the door and were about to put the mobile phone back where it was, but they heard some strange sounds in the hall.

Creak, creak, small chewing sounds came from the corner of the living room, Nie Xi turned his head to look there, and the first thing that caught his eyelids was a large red patch on the ground.

"Iced lemon tea!" Nie Xi yelled in horror.

Zhang Zhiping was already petrified, he sat there trembling, his lips trembled a few times, and then he uttered a sentence that seemed like a silk.

"He...he caught it in one go, and I..."

Under the cloak hat of iced lemon tea, there was still a leg of the puppy exposed, and the blood stained the originally fluffy fur into strands, dripping on the tiled floor.With the sound of cracking bones, the calf also trembled up, and gradually sank into the inside of the cloak.

After eating what was in his mouth, the ice lemon tea seemed satisfied and heaved a deep sigh.

"I'm so hungry, I want to eat...I want to eat all over my head, I don't want to hurt my friend, I...I couldn't hold back just now."

Nie Xi was speechless for a long while.

How could ice lemon tea be like this?Didn't he say that he likes small animals very much and wants to keep pets?

Was it the weirdness of the world that made him like this?

"Don't go there. If he and Mr. Bai trade gluttony, he will become more and more hungry." Incubus stopped Nie Xi who wanted to go over. "This kind of hunger is different from the hunger that the parasitic demon needs energy. What he wants is the satisfaction of his stomach full of flesh and blood."

"Ah, yes. This is the deal between me and Mr. Bai." Ice Lemon Tea raised her head innocently, and the cap of the cloak slipped off.

Under the hat is a childish face.

Short black hair stood upright on the top of his head, and in his wide-open eyes, the red eyeballs trembled with fear.This was originally a lovely boy, but the corners of his mouth and chin were covered with blood.

"He began to have a body, and he gained energy through devouring." Incubus said on the side.

The iced lemon tea showed its face, like a switch, Zhang Zhiping, whose legs had been weak and unable to stand up, screamed, ran away from the iced lemon tea, and hid behind Nie Xi.

Iced Lemon Tea heard the exclamation, first glanced at Zhang Zhiping, who was full of horror, then at Incubus, who was as cold as ice, and finally at Nie Xi, who had an expression of disbelief.

"Am I doing this wrong..."

"No..." Nie Xi wanted to say something, but thinking about the bloody scene just now, he couldn't say anything.

"I couldn't help it, I'm sorry." Ice Lemon Tea wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, but soon, he couldn't help but licked the remaining blood at the corner of his mouth with his tongue.

When he did this, his eyes narrowed slightly, with unfinished thoughts.

……

"Why did you let this monster follow us?" Zhang Zhiping whispered in Nie Xi's ear in fear.

He didn't care who Nie Xi invited to be his companion before because he believed in Nie Xi's vision of people, but now...

This guy is just like a beast, is it really okay to keep him by his side?I don't have the ability to defend myself, what if this monster can't help but want to eat him?Or what if he couldn't help eating other people?Even eating people at the Realm Waterfall is despised by others!

"Am I bothering you?" Iced Lemon Tea obviously heard it too.

He stood up, with the cloak trailing behind him, staring innocently at everyone with his big eyes, like a child stealing an adult's clothes, making it impossible to blame him for anything.However, what happened just now can't be ignored lightly.

"Honestly. Ice Lemon Tea, I don't blame you, it's not your fault. You made a deal with Mr. Bai to save me." Nie Xi walked over and helped him wipe off the remaining blood under his chin .

"But you really can't do that thing again, if you are hungry. Please tell me, I will find a way." Nie Xi took a deep breath. "At least eat cooked ones."

"Doesn't he want to make a deal himself? I have never seen a parasitic demon who can hold back from making a deal with Mr. Bai. If it weren't for you, he would have made a deal with Mr. Bai the first time, and with his ability, he wouldn't have done it at all. No Paradise Garden." Incubus's treatment of people other than Nie Xi has hardly changed, and he is still so vitriolic.

"The best choice is to let him find a world to eat. Only there can he grow to his heart's content. It is the nature of every parasitic demon to become stronger."

Iced lemon tea unhappy denial.

"I will hold back, I want to be with Nie Xi. I also want to work with him to find a solution to Mr. Bai."

Nie Xi pressed his shoulder to tell Incubus to stop talking.

"I'll go look in the back now. Don't blame the iced lemon tea."

Zhang Zhiping still seems to have a grudge.He sat a little far away by himself.

But Nie Xi's instructions made Incubus stay by Iced Lemon Tea's side obediently.

Seeing that the conflict in front of him was temporarily suppressed, Nie Xi wrapped his wings, and finally gave them a reassuring gesture, hurried out from the door, and walked around to the back of the country house.

After such a long delay due to the sudden incident just now, Nie Xi didn't know if he could still catch a glimpse of this suddenly weird family conversation.But you have to try.

At the back of the house, there was a window that belonged to the kitchen. Nie Xi squatted quietly and walked under that window.

"Is the rice cooked?" It was Ma Qiang's voice.

"It's done." A female voice replied.

"Where's the vegetables?"

"It's all here," said the female voice.

Then there was the sound of tsk-tsk tasting something inside.

"Add more to this." Ma Qiang said.

"It's too itchy, I can't help it, scratch it for me again."

This is Uncle Ma's voice.

"Exactly, bring the things here." Ma Qiang said.

Nie Xi's [gossip] did not record anything.He thought to himself what those people should be busy with, and finally couldn't help being curious.Lift your head up a bit.

Through the window, he saw three figures in the kitchen.

Uncle Ma's fat body turned his back to the window, and his wife walked up behind him carrying a plate of dishes. At this time, Ma Qiang, who was standing beside him, lifted his scalp.

The scalp hung like a hat on Uncle Ma's back, and his head covered with red muscles was full of wriggling things.

Ma Qiang patted it lightly, and a large number of translucent round particles fell into the dish like snow.
