Heian-kyo at night looks extraordinarily ghostly.

The simple and elegant building is shrouded in a thick black night, accompanied by strange sounds from time to time, which makes people feel uneasy and has goosebumps all over their bodies for no reason.

And at this moment, Qingming was walking on the deserted street with a serious expression on his face.

He is walking around in the city, hoping to make some new discoveries.

However, what made him feel strange was that there were still no monsters appearing on the street. Such an abnormal situation was not because of his arrival... but it seemed that those monsters had disappeared overnight.

This has been going on for a while, why?

This great onmyoji who was well-known in Heian capital felt a sudden palpitation.

It's like...something bad happened.

Qingming raised his hand, then put it down again, unconsciously clenched the bone fan in his hand.

Perhaps because of poor vision at night, Qingming's eyes suddenly glanced out, but at this time, he seemed to see a vague white figure.

It seems... a woman?

He was somewhat curious.

When he took a few steps forward, the blurry shadow seemed to be a little clearer, Seimei saw a head of black hair, and a beautiful profile face.

But before he could see clearly, the woman quickly walked into a corner and disappeared.

Qingming frowned subconsciously, and his expression became more serious.

This woman... is very strange.

Appearing at this time, is it somewhat related to the current surrounding situation?

Before he had time to think, Qingming hurriedly followed, but while quickly following the woman's footsteps, he did not forget to hide his aura.

The figure of that woman appeared from time to time, and then she seemed to be deliberately guiding Qingming in a certain direction, and finally, she suddenly disappeared again.

At this moment, Qingming saw the mansion in front of him, and this discovery surprised him.

Isn't this... Hongyuan's mansion?Could it be... is there any secret hidden in it?

Intuition told Qingming that he needed to go in and check the situation.

The door of the mansion was tightly closed, but this did not prevent Qingming from entering, he just performed a random spell and entered Hong Yuan's mansion.

If it was an ordinary onmyoji, they definitely would not have Qingming's ability, but as a special existence, Qingming's strength has already surpassed the level that ordinary people can achieve.

Because it was late at night, even the servants had already gone to bed early, so the mansion was very quiet, but what surprised Qingming was that when he came in, he seemed to smell a strange smell.

This strange smell is all too familiar to Seimei who has dealt with monsters all year round.

It's monsters... the smell of blood.

Although the smell is not much different from that of humans, in general, the smell of monster blood is stronger than that of humans, because their blood still carries their own demon power.

Seimei's doubts deepened.

He was looking for where exactly this smell was coming from.

When he walked to the room at the end, he was surprised to see that the door of the room was open, Seimei just hesitated for a moment before walking in.

The room was dark and empty.

It's just that when Qingming went in, he saw a discordant place on the ground, and the smell of the monster's blood came from it.

He thought for a moment, squatted down, and tapped the ground, and sure enough there was a hidden space.

After the secret compartment is opened, there is a passage inside.

Qingming's mood became somewhat complicated. He looked at the dark passage inside, and for some reason, he seemed to have anticipated the situation below.

At this time, it was no longer caused by curiosity, but by an inexplicable emotion.

The answer, perhaps, lies here.

Qingming walked down the passage, but what he saw was like this, a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.

full of blood...

That bright color carries deep sorrow and resentment.

He saw piles of corpses of monsters piled up in the dark room, and the bodies of those monsters had more or less signs of abuse.

Pieces of blood blurred his eyes, Seimei only felt that a certain belief in his heart was collapsing.

The bloody smell that hit his nose only made him feel like vomiting.

Qingming took a step forward, but unexpectedly saw a young monster in the corner curled up and looking at him, his dark eyes were full of horror, and he was still muttering: "Don't...don't come here."

Qingming just wanted to extend his hand, but the other party was like a frightened bird, unwilling to let him approach no matter what.

He sighed, and then tried to comfort the monster with the most gentle tone, until the little monster's mood stabilized, and then said: "I will take you out."

The little monster looked at this calm and gentle human being, and for some reason suddenly remembered the fact that he was captured, and he said timidly: "Really?"

Really... Can you still trust humans?

Qingming picked up the dying little monster, and was about to say something when he heard footsteps behind him, from far to near, getting faster and faster, as if they were in a hurry.

He turned around, but saw Hong Yuan with a look of astonishment.

Qingming's expression turned cold, he only felt a burning anger in his heart: "Did you do this?"

Hongyuan didn't think that his secret would be discovered by others just because he was negligent for a while. He knew that at this time, it would be useless to hide it any more, so he just snorted and said, "That's right."

The little monster shivered unconsciously when he saw the human being who brought him here.

Qingming was in a complicated mood. He looked at Hongyuan with a heartbroken heart, and even his tone was no longer as calm and reserved as usual: "Why?"

Hongyuan looked at Qingming, and suddenly asked: "Master Qingming, don't you think it's very strange for you to ask why now?"

"What I did was obviously a good thing. Why do you, Master Qingming, act like you can't accept it? These monsters usually do evil in Heian capital. I did this only for the stability of the capital and to hurt fewer people. That's all."

Seimei was silent.

The little monster gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone who was caught here has never done anything to harm humans...not all monsters..."

Hongyuan didn't look at him, but directly interrupted his words and said coldly: "Even if there is no now, what about in the future? You monsters can't believe what you say."

Painful expression appeared on his face, and he murmured involuntarily: "At the beginning, I believed the monster's words, that's why I became like that..."

Qingming finally spoke, he only felt that his voice was a bit heavy amidst the strong smell of blood: "What is the difference between you doing this and the monster in your mouth?"

Hongyuan was stunned for a moment, then said with a sneer, "Master Seimei, you won't understand...you just need to know that everything I do is for human beings."

Qingming shook his head lightly: "No, you just killed so many innocent monsters for your own selfish desire."

"In my opinion, you are the real evil."

"Master Qingming, are you a saint?"

Hong Yuan suddenly asked, his expression became more and more cold, perhaps because the secret could no longer be hidden, he finally revealed his true face.

"Everyone worships you like a god, I'm afraid they have forgotten your origin—but what you said just now reminded me that you are a disgusting combination of humans and monsters, hahaha Those people probably wouldn't have thought of it, Abe Seimei, who looks like a god in their eyes, is helping the monster to speak..."

Qingming's expression was a bit dark, he didn't interrupt the man in front of him who had been described as crazy, but said softly: "You are wrong, I am not a saint, I also have times for my own selfish desires."

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Hongyuan: "For example... now."

Hong Yuan didn't realize the meaning of his words, but in the next second, he felt something pierced into his chest, and then a sharp pain came from his heart, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, only touched the blood in one hand .

"you……"

His eyes widened, and he looked at Seimei in disbelief.

And the knife stuck in his chest was exactly the knife Hongyuan used to torture the monsters that Qingming had found in the darkroom before he came.

The knife was stained with the blood and screams of monsters, and it became a sharp weapon to end his life at this moment.

Hongyuan fell to the ground unable to hold on any longer, and touched his arms with the other hand - the string of hook jade given to him by the mysterious woman. He wanted to take it out and use it as usual, but he had no strength anymore. , and finally the hand hangs down feebly.

Qingming lowered his eyes, and finally said after a long time, "Let's go."

The little monster in his arms only felt that there seemed to be some changes in this human named Qingming, his temperament had changed - from the gentle and clear like a clear spring at the beginning to the present... it seems that some turbid things have been mixed into it.

After leaving Hongyuan's mansion, Qingming looked at him, his eyes seemed to have ice, but this expression disappeared in an instant, the smile on his mouth was a bit bitter, but it was still very peaceful: "After you go out, forget this place I just hope you don't hate humans."

The little monster looked at him without blinking: "What about you?"

Qingming was stunned for a moment, maybe it was because the other party's question made him think of something, he looked at the dark night sky, and the smile on his mouth was a little weak: "I...even I don't know..."

After going through that kind of thing, he only felt that his long-standing belief seemed to be destroyed in an instant.

Now he is very confused and confused.

Is what I have been doing right or wrong?

At a certain moment, he felt that he shouldn't have such a thought, but he couldn't restrain it.

This painful entanglement seemed to tear his soul apart, turning him into two different individuals.

The author has something to say: I personally think that Seimei was very upright before amnesia, so once her beliefs are shaken, she will...not be able to accept it.It is also the reason for his split.
