God doesn't want me to be human

……

Lu Jia withdrew his hand.

His mood was in a mess.

This strange old castle, the despair of the people on the carriage when they came, the bright red blood of the dead, the man in black robe carrying a huge scythe...

All of this is telling a fact, echoing Sophia's words:

There is evil here.

This evil existence harvests people's lives at will, making people live in fear all day long.

In front of Lu Jia, a beautiful and fragile girl is looking at him with hope, and her frail tears represent kindness and weakness.

Lu Jia took a step back, pursed his lips, and walked past Sophia to leave.

"Sorry." He said softly as he passed by.

After walking a few steps, Lu Jia stopped, and a beam of light shone from the high ventilation hole into the dark corridor, just falling on him.

He turned his head and looked at Sophia in the corridor.

"I'll check it out."

Killing a person, judging a person is a crime, is too great.

It was so important that Lu Jia had to take a good look at it, carefully and carefully.

midnight.

"Squeak-"

A certain wooden door on the second floor was opened with a gap, and then slowly stretched out a western sword, shaking it like fishing. After finding that there was no danger, Lu Jia finally came out of the room cautiously.

He was wearing heavy armor and a helmet, and he took every step carefully, trying not to make a sound.

These were the flashes of inspiration when he passed by the armor ornaments during the day, and he asked the old housekeeper for them - as a young master, he has everything he wants.

Wearing armor with a double sense of security, Lu Jia began to explore the castle at night.

The first place to explore is the second floor where he is.

The candles hanging on the wall of the corridor flickered slightly, elongating the shadow of the only life that existed, overlapping and printing on the floor. The people were unconscious, and the heavy armor left heavy footsteps in the corridor.

Lu Jia walked around briefly and stopped at the earl's study.

He swallowed.

"Crackling." A candle flickered.

Lu Jia still remembers that the first time he was suspected of being hacked was at the door of the study, and his psychological shadow was surging.

Resisting the urge to run away, Lu Jia gently pushed open the wooden door of the study while clenching the Western sword in his hand.

The heavy wooden door creaked open.

While Lu Jia held his breath nervously, the appearance of the study was revealed in front of Lu Jia.

It is a very ordinary study room, with bookshelves full of books on three sides standing up to the sky, surrounding the desk and chair in the center, and the remaining wall has a window to let in the moonlight, allowing people to see the whole picture of the study room.

Lu Jia walked into the study cautiously, trying to see something on the desk—it was like this in the game.

There was nothing on the desk but a novel.

After closing the book with the words "Eternal Eden" on the cover, Lu Jia had no choice but to leave. The moment he closed the door before leaving, he took another look at the desk.

A gorgeous desk and two chairs, one black and one white, are quietly placed in the study.

"Bang." The door closed.

There were no clues on the second floor. Lu Jia stood in front of the stairs and began to consider whether to go to the third floor or the first floor.

Although the first floor is dangerous, he has lived there.

The condition of the third floor is unknown.

Lu Jia went down to the first floor wholeheartedly.

"Tap, tap, tap."

"Bang, bang, bang."

The sound of footsteps and the clash of armor was extremely loud in the stairs, and Lu Jia's heart grew a little higher with each step he took.

Such a huge sound!Will he really not be found out!unwise!

Finally, trembling with fear, he went down to the first floor. Before Lu Jia could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the heavy footsteps continuing.

"Tap, tap, tap."

He has stopped, whose footsteps are coming from? Q^Q

Lu Jia froze and didn't dare to move.

"Tat-tat-tat." The sound of footsteps came from the direction of the kitchen on the first floor, and Lu Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be nice not to be behind him!

Weeping with joy.

Lu Jia carefully moved to the wall and stood there, thinking that he was just an innocent armor decoration.

The footsteps coming from the kitchen were heavy, and with the footsteps and the rustling of heavy objects being dragged on the ground, something was being dragged.

All kinds of horror stories are rampant in my mind, such as pork buns with human flesh.

Lu Jia was a little afraid to look, and closed his eyes tightly inside the armor.

Suddenly, the heavy footsteps and the rustle of clothes rubbing against the ground disappeared, followed by the sound of ping-pong-pong hitting something.

Lu Jia quickly opened his eyes.

So he saw, in the dimly lit hall, a lifeless person was lying at the junction of the dining room and the hall, and next to him——

A man in a black cloak and a huge scythe was standing quietly.

As if aware of his gaze, the man in the black cloak glanced towards Lu Jia. Lu Jia felt as if he had fallen into the deep sea of ​​the Arctic Ocean and became cold and stiff.

"Shh-"

A cold light flashed, and the huge scythe chopped off the head of the person on the ground, and blood gushed out, quickly gathering into a large pool of blood.

The candlelight was reflected in the pool of fresh blood, and the orange flame heart jumped into blood red.

vomit--

Lu Jia wanted to throw up and wanted to run away, but his calf was weak, "Kang Dang—" He could no longer be an innocent armor ornament, and fell to the ground.

"Tap." A hand behind him patted his shoulder.

Lu Jia turned back trembling.

The kind old butler bent down and said respectfully and politely: "The night adventure game is over, it's time for the young master to rest, so as not to affect the quality of sleep."

Lu Jia was helpless by the old housekeeper to go up to the second floor. He didn't quite remember how he entered the room, nor how he took off his armor to sleep, he didn't even know how he fell asleep or whether he fell asleep.

When the morning light shone into the room, the knock on the door sounded on time.

"Young master, it's time to get up."

Lu Jia sat up, stared at the curtain above his head in a daze for a while, then took a deep breath and got out of bed.

When he passed the crystal mirror, he saw dark circles under his eyes, and hurriedly looked away as if avoiding it.

The old housekeeper outside the door was already waiting for him, seeing him coming out, he saluted and led the way.

Today's breakfast is still eaten by Lu Jia alone in the restaurant.

He sat on the chair and couldn't help but look frequently at the junction of the restaurant and the hall. Last night... someone died there.

The ground has been cleaned without any trace, as if nothing happened.

No!How could nothing have happened!

Lu Jia stared at the floor, tightly clenched his hands under the dining table, suppressing the desire to vomit from his empty stomach.

"Master, isn't today's breakfast to your liking?" The old butler who was standing behind stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"No, no." Lu Jia shook his head.

He thought he should eat something.

But in the end he couldn't eat anything.

"I'll take a stroll by myself." Lu Jia fled the restaurant, ran to the back kitchen, escaped from the scary place to a place full of fireworks.

The old butler watched him politely away.

After entering the back kitchen, it was the servants who greeted "Little Master" one after another.

Lu Jia walked up to Sophia, and said to the girl who knew a lot, "Can you come out?"

Sophia glanced at Fira in the distance, and after she nodded, she followed Lu Jia and left the back kitchen.

The place of conversation is Sophia's room.

The room was as small as the room Lu Jia lived in before, and the curtains were drawn tightly so that no light could penetrate, making it extremely dark even in broad daylight.

Sophia closed the door carefully, and looked at Lu Jiashi with tears in her eyes: "You...you saw it...it's as scary as the rumors...we will all die after all, if it doesn't die...it's good for you Maybe it's just a game of it, please, please... must..."

"Sophia!" Lu Jia interrupted her, not caring about revealing her identity, "Can you tell me... everything?"

Why should anyone be here?Why is everyone here so desperate?Why dare not run away even after being killed?

Why kill?The murderer...is he really the Earl?

In fact, Lu Jia had an answer in his heart.

The man in the black cloak who exists aboveboard, the loyal butler who turns a blind eye to the murder, and the testimony from Sophia...

Sophia lowered her eyes, looking weak and beautiful, whispering a terrible nightmare.

"...It has existed since a long time ago. Every day it exists, people die. It is a monster that eats people's lives to survive."

"In the beginning, it wandered around and killed countless people... There is no safe place in the whole world... People want to leave to find the legendary god... But, this greedy monster keeps people in captivity Already!"

"...Later, it built an ancient castle and asked each village to take turns sending people to it on time, 6 people at a time...Everyone will die...all will die...will die..."

Sophia couldn't help sobbing in a low voice, she raised her tear-filled eyes and looked at Lu Jia beggingly.

"You're going to kill it, aren't you? You're going to end this horrible nightmare, aren't you? You're going to be our hero, aren't you?"

Lu Jia couldn't help but took a step back.

The truth is clear.

The Earl is the monster that Sofia said.

He thought of the pale count lying on the bed, and what the old butler said—don't worry, a group of people will be sent over soon.

People come and people die, and the count is healthy.

Sophia says:

Monsters survive by devouring people's lives.

"...Please save us." Sophia took out an object wrapped in coarse cloth from the depths of the closet, and put it in Lu Jia's hands.

Lu Jia couldn't help but look down at the things in his hands.

The coarse cloth was spread out, and it was a light golden shard blade, exuding a faint warm light.

"Please use the treasure left by the gods to kill it."

"Save the world."

Lu Jia felt his hands trembling.

As the evening approached, the old butler walked out of the castle to welcome the newcomers.

The same coachman turning away, the same desperate people.

This time, Lu Jia, who stood by a window on the second floor of the castle and looked down, clearly saw how frightened and desperate people were when they looked at the castle.

This is the land of death that no one wants to come to, this is the hunting ground for monsters, this is... a huge tomb where life disappears at any time.

"Are you upset?"

A unique sound like flowers blooming in the middle of the night.

Lu Jia was embraced from behind, and the warm embrace was reassuring.

"Do not be afraid."

Lu Jia's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and he fell asleep slowly with heavy eyelids.

Among the terrified people who followed the old butler into the castle, some of them raised their heads and glanced. On the second floor of the castle, a window became a picture frame.

In the frame, the handsome white-haired man hugged the boy in his arms from behind, while the black-haired boy leaned against him quietly with his eyes closed, the picture was quiet and beautiful.
