Non-Human Sub-district Office

Those colors in the memory are a little fuzzy, but the fragmentary pictures are very clear and profound.

It was like breaking through the fog and glimpsed the truth, and the gentleness covered by the long pain became exceptionally clear.

Nie Shen vaguely understood why he had doubts and questions about injustice.

——Probably because I once had that kind of memory, after the tenderness and safety were torn apart, I discovered the reality of this world, so I have such doubts.

If you were born in the most chaotic place from the beginning, you will naturally accept the rules there, so why would you have such doubts?

There will be such thoughts because he once had a completely different kind of tenderness.

It just hurts too much afterwards.

It hurts too much, and I can't get rid of it.

So he chose to forget the bits and pieces of the past, and hide them under layers of long and thick blood, as if he had never owned them.

Nie Shen stared at the forest under the cliff.

Fog is transpiring in the mountains and forests, and the real scene is looming in the light white mist, just like the soft back covered in white mist in memory.

Lin Mu ate the melon, and followed Nie Shen's gaze to where he could see. After a long while, he asked, "Like Mengze?"

Nie Shen was startled, looked at Lin Mu, and frowned slightly: "You know?"

"?" Lin Mu was a little puzzled, "We all know, we checked your information."

Hearing what he said, Nie Shen was a little taken aback: "What information do I have?"

"About you, there is actually nothing." Lin Mu replied, "The main reason is that we found your mother. If we didn't find her by accident, we wouldn't even know you existed."

"...my mother?" Nie Shen repeated subconsciously, and a little bit of confusion and pain appeared in the next second. After a long time, he calmed down and asked, "my mother...who is it?"

"?"

Lin Mu stopped digging melon flesh, then turned to look at Nie Shen, dumbfounded.

The two half-demons looked at each other for a long while, and Lin Mu finally realized that Nie Shen had buried more than a little memory for so many years.

Lin Mu thought for a while and said, "I don't know how much you've remembered, but according to your mother, her name is Mirage, which seems to be named after her own race - as far as I know, she should It's a nice monster."

To be precise, Lin Mu felt that Mirage should be a very gentle monster.

Because Luanfeng recorded what she knew, there were traces of warmth everywhere.

In that document, Luanfeng himself drew a picture of Mengze.

Every corner is so beautiful that it can be called a fairyland.

There are very few monsters that can stay in Mengze, and they are all gentle and do not like to fight. The rest are mostly ordinary animals.

For Dahuang, Mengze is a paradise without conflicts or conflicts.

The owner of Mengze is willing to protect the weak monsters who have nowhere to crash in, and will not drive them out until they show their aggressiveness.

She is also willing to accept some ghosts who piously beg to meet their dead relatives and friends.

Put those monsters into Mengze, accept the so-called tributes that are of no use to her, and then let them go out contentedly.

"She must be a very good monster."

Even in the wilderness, she is definitely the most benevolent and kind one.

Lin Mu thought so.

Nie Shen listened quietly to Lin Mu's words, watched the mist under the cliff for a long time in silence, then lowered his head, dug a spoonful of melon flesh, and put it in his mouth.

The sweet and greasy moisture explodes in the mouth.

He narrowed his eyes and said vaguely, "I don't remember."

He thought about it carefully for a long time.

He thought of the back of that figure in the white mist walking slowly among the water, and was in a daze for a while, then said again: "I remember her."

Lin Mu nodded: "I always think of it slowly."

Nie Shen lowered his head to eat the melon.

The two half-demons finished eating the melon in silence, and put it aside, a few wisps of mist came and took the melon rind away.

"Ask you something." Lin Mu looked at the disappearing melon skin and said.

Nie Shen tilted his head to look at him.

"About the power of the emperor's house, because the emperor's house has stripped its own grievances into strength, was there anything wrong when you brought it with you?" Lin Mu asked, "Do you remember?"

Nie Shen was slightly startled, his brows were slightly folded and he thought for a while, before he said uncertainly, "He... wants to come to the Central Plains, probably."

Lin Mu was stunned: "How to say?"

"He's looking for something—it doesn't exist in the Great Wilderness." Nie Shen said a little evasively and uncertainly, "He told me that the Emperor of Heaven paid more attention to the Central Plains, and he also told me the location of the passage between the Central Plains and the Great Wilderness."

Lin Mu remembered when he first met Nie Shen, what he said: I heard that the Emperor of Heaven attached great importance to the Central Plains.

In Nie Shen's previous state, the source of this "heard" itself is very doubtful.

Lin Mu was still thinking about what was going on, so he heard Nie Shen say again: "But because it was too obvious to bring him along, I left him and came here."

"..."

here you go!

After Lin Mu got this answer, he couldn't think of anything to come up with. After writing it down, he decided to leave it to the elders to figure it out.

He patted his buttocks and got up, ready to take the little girl behind him to continue doing statistics.

Seeing that Nie Shen is in a good state now, and nothing will happen to him, he is relieved.

Nie Shen looked up at him and stood up, "What are you going to do?"

"Work." Lin Mu explained the work a little bit, glanced at the dense fog in the mountains and forests, and asked, "If you're like this, do you know what happened in the mountains?"

Nie Shen shook his head: "If you don't pay attention, you won't know."

Lin Mu thought for a while, opened the file he had brought, and was about to ask Nie Shen for a favor, calling the little girl who was hiding aside.

Nie Shen glanced at the little girl, who shrank her neck and hid behind the trees.

Nie Shen asked, "Why did you bring humans here?"

Lin Mu sighed: "It needs to be supervised. You can't let the monster do it unilaterally. What if the data is falsified?"

He was used to the fact that Nie Shen looked down on weak human beings, but he had to wrong the little girl.

"You should find the mountain god," Nie Shen said.

Lin Mu shook his head: "The mountain god is very timid, so he only meets Yan Xuanjing."

In fact, there are others, but they are all well-behaved and harmless little monsters. The mountain god likes to play cards with them the most.

But ever since more and more monsters came from the Great Wilderness, causing the mountain gods to be overwhelmed, the mountain gods didn't appear in front of others very often, and only occasionally ran out to find Yan Xuanjing to go into the mountains, and played cards to make the Nine-Tailed Fox feel a sense of existence , Suppress those monsters who are trying to make trouble.

Nie Shen had just been back for two days, so he didn't know what was going on, so he helped Lin Mu check it out.

The little girl stood aside, looked at this and then that, endured it, couldn't hold it back, and whispered: "To confirm death, we need to collect death evidence."

Lin Mu and Nie Shen were all taken aback, then turned to look at the little girl: "How do you collect death evidence?"

"Wreckage, souls, or witnesses." The little girl said rigorously.

Nie Shen turned his head slightly: "The monsters in the wilderness will not leave wreckage or souls, and neither will the witnesses."

The little girl was taken aback: "Why?"

"Because the flesh and soul of other living beings are actually food for monsters." Lin Mu explained, "The same is true for witnesses."

The so-called witnesses are those who witnessed the incident but did not experience anything after themselves.

But in the eyes of the monsters in the Great Wilderness, it is impossible for witnesses to exist.

"Basically, there will be none. Those who will hide in the side and watch the whole process, either they are going to pick up a cheap oriole, or they will be targeted by the stronger one of the two competing parties and cannot escape."

When the little girl heard this, her face turned pale, she pursed her lips and didn't know what to say.

In fact, it was fine in the past. It wasn't cruel to this extent before.

But among the peaks of Qingyao Mountain, there are so many monsters, nine out of ten are from the Great Wilderness.

They were driven out of their homes because of their weakness, and had no choice but to choose to go to the Central Plains.

In the wilderness, they were considered a very weak group, but when they came to the Central Plains, they were wolves, tigers and leopards who fell into the flock.

It's not that they are powerful, but that they are far more ferocious than the monsters who grew up in the Central Plains, and their style is much more bloody and sturdy.

Although the monsters in the Central Plains don't pay much attention to human moral rules, they are still not as good as killing the monsters who grew up in the wilderness.

Otherwise, the mountain god wouldn't be as anxious as a spinning top, for fear that a stronger monster would make a fuss, blowing up a mountain or something just by moving his fingers.

"But not necessarily."

Lin Mu looked around and said: "There are no witnesses of monsters, there should be quite a few who are not monsters."

Forest trees refer to those grasses and trees that have given birth to wisdom but have not yet become demons.

The little ginseng once took him to recognize him, Lin Mu turned and walked forward while thinking about it.

The little girl followed him and also took a step. Nie Shen looked at the backs of the two of them, and his eyes finally fell on the little girl.

The human was unexpectedly alert, as if he had eyes on his back, tightened the backpack on his back, and jumped to the edge of the forest in a few steps.

It's almost like a chick following her mother's ass trying to find a sense of security-but she is too timid to even make a sound.

Nie Shen looked at it blankly for a while, then heeled up.

Lin Mu turned his head and glanced at Nie Shen who was walking slowly behind them, and said, "Don't scare them."

Nie Shen responded indifferently, looked away, caught up with Lin Mu in a few steps, and said, "Let's talk about my mother."

"I don't know much either." Lin Mu felt helpless, "You might as well ask Yan Xuanjing—but I think Yan Xuanjing doesn't know much either, so you might as well consider looking for that Luanfeng who recorded the mirage."

Nie Shen thought it made sense: "Where's the news about Luanfeng?"

"I'll look it up for you later." Lin Mu felt that this was easy to solve, "This record is here. She must have been to the Central Plains and had contact with this place."

Just as Nie Shen was about to nod, he caught a glimpse of the little girl who had been following them all the time, her eyes were wide open with nervousness, the phone screen in her hand had just turned off, and her face was still a little anxious.

Nie Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, his figure suddenly dissipated, and merged with the surrounding mist.

But after he disappeared, the little girl's nervousness did not fade much.

Nie Shen looked away, hid in the mist, and followed them.

Realizing that the sight on her body was gone, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand and squeezed her earlobe to try to relax, and after a while, she came to the edge of the forest and asked in a low voice: "That...you just said Luanfeng, what is it?"

Lin Mu replied, "It's a monster."

"What are you investigating her for?" she asked.

"Nothing..."

As soon as Lin Mu started talking, Nie Shen suddenly appeared next to the little girl, put his hand on her shoulder, held her down, pulled out the phone from her hand, and asked in a low voice, "What are you and Luanfeng?" relation?"

Lin Mu was stunned, and let out a short doubt: "What?"

Nie Shen handed the phone to Lin Mu. Lin Mu took a look and found that he was on a call, and the note displayed on it was "Mom".

The little girl obviously didn't expect such a situation to happen. She was stunned for two seconds, the hand that was holding the phone shrank back, and looked up at Nie Shen who was clasping her shoulder. After a long while, she sniffed, hey He burst out crying.
