Eighth Crown

The toad ghost's movements are very slow. Although he is on all fours, he is not as coordinated as a beast, causing his speed to be visibly slow.

However, although his speed is very slow, the speed at which he flicks his tongue is surprisingly fast, so fast that in the eyes of ordinary people, he can almost only see a whip-like black shadow, and then he will be unconscious. was swept away and swallowed.

After all, Liu Xia is not an ordinary person, and his reaction speed is much faster than that of ordinary people.

At the moment when his tongue swept towards him, he had already turned sideways to avoid it. At the same time, he also pulled out the He Dao around his waist at a dizzying speed. It slashed out from the bottom up against the wind, and slashed on the tongue that the toad ghost spit out.

"Shoot-"

With a burning sound, a scarlet tongue fell from the air to the ground.

"Wow!"

The toad ghost let out a short scream, then immediately rolled back his tongue, raised his forelimbs, covered his mouth, and even pea-sized tears overflowed from his round eyes.

"Woooooooo, it hurts! It hurts! Bad people! Bullying people!"

The toad ghost clenched his mouth tightly, and his face showed an extremely innocent look, looking at Liu Xia as if he was looking at some wicked villain, and his mouth was unclearly accusing Liu Xia of his evil deeds.

"Sure enough, he is mentally retarded... Maybe he was a fool before he became a ghost."

Lucia sighed.

He wanted to find out the whereabouts of the ghost who controlled the dream from the ghost, but he was in vain immediately.

Liu Xia raised the knife in his hand, the breathing rhythm in his mouth became extremely hot, and his eyes fell on the neck of the toad ghost in front of him.

His strength is more than several times stronger than when he was dealing with hand ghosts before, and now facing such an opponent, he should be able to easily and happily kill them in seconds.

"Please don't kill him!"

However, the moment Lucia was about to attack the toad demon, Murakami's anxious voice came from behind.

"He's my brother!"

What?

This ghost?

Is it his brother?

There was obvious surprise in Liu Xia's eyes, and the knife that he was about to swing stopped in mid-air.

It's not because of what happened to the brothers. He never had that kind of feeling in his heart. The reason why he stopped attacking was just because he felt that this matter seemed to become interesting.

There weren't many things that made Lucia feel interesting.

But the brothers in front of them are obviously an exception.

Murakami saw that Liu Xia stopped the knife in his hand, and the heart that had originally mentioned the throat was immediately put back, and there was obvious joy on his face.

On the other side, after the tongue was cut off, the toad ghost turned around regardless, even exposing his back and neck directly to Liu Xia, ignoring him, and hurriedly jumped away like a toad.

Although he walked very slowly, the jumping distance was quite far, and he disappeared from Liu Xia's eyes in a short while.

"You want to shelter him?"

Liu Xia didn't care about the toad ghost who escaped. Anyway, his first spiritual foundation promotion task had already been completed. Judging from the weak appearance of this toad ghost, he didn't look like a member of the twelve ghost months. It doesn't matter.

He turned to look at Murakami who came out of the door, his eyes flickered slightly, and a rare desire to understand the inside story rose in his heart.

"Yes, it is."

Murakami looked at Liu Xia, and although he was so nervous, he still spoke stubbornly, "I want to protect my brother."

"Looking at his appearance, he must have eaten a lot of people."

Although Liu Xia used interrogative sentences, the tone in his mouth was very certain. To be able to grow into such an alien ghost, he must have no less than ten lives on his hands. There will only be more, not less.

"…"

Murakami opened his mouth, but couldn't refute it for a while.

This is a fact, he can't refute it, he has just been taught by Liu Xia, and he doesn't dare to lie to Liu Xia.

"Who are you eating?" Liu Xia continued to ask.

"...Some people in the village who resisted that man, and some passers-by."

Murakami lowered his head, as if even he himself felt guilty.

"That is to say, in your eyes, your brother's life is far more precious than other people's lives."

Liu Xia didn't sympathize with his thoughts at all. Instead, he opened up the question he had been avoiding, "As long as the younger brother can survive, it doesn't matter how many irrelevant people die?"

"That kind of thing..."

The village consciously wanted to refute, but as soon as the words came out, he fell silent again.

He had never thought about this issue in his mind, subconsciously believed that human life was precious, and the moment Liu Xia exposed this issue, he wanted to refute it.

But unfortunately, judging from his past experience of condoning his younger brother cannibalism, he has no confidence in saying this.

"Among the two ghost killer team members who came here, one of the dead people was also eaten by him?"

Liu Xia saw his contradictory performance in his eyes, and did not stop him from condoning his younger brother's thoughts at all, but continued to ask questions with great interest.

"…Yes."

Murakami lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly beside him. His heart was also filled with guilt and tortured, "I used chopsticks to put him in a coma... Then my brother ate him."

Not everyone in this world has the insight of Liu Xia, and not everyone can ignore any kindness and kindness like him, and dare to throw all doubts on the table.

As long as he relaxes his guard a little bit, it is entirely possible for Murakami to let the members of the Ghost Slayer team get caught.

"What about the rest?" Lucia asked again.

"...to take refuge with that man."

Murakami replied in a low voice, "Because he liked the life in his dreams very much, he took refuge with that man... The one who died before, he didn't want to take refuge with that man at all, so he was eaten by my brother."

Bone dead.

The spineless survived.

Liu Xia knew that, and there was no regret or sympathy for the dead team member, nor any anger or hatred for the team member who had taken refuge in the ghost.

Most of the things in this world are just splendidly framed on the surface, and it seems to be full of truth, goodness and beauty, but in fact, beneath that beautiful appearance is always full of all kinds of ugliness, sin and dissatisfaction.

People with backbone die, innocent people commit crimes, and launch wars of aggression in the name of righteousness... Everyone who thinks this world is beautiful needs to experience the ugliness hidden under the surface of beauty.

Liu Xia never had expectations for this world. Basically, his concept was 'it has nothing to do with me'.

However, even Liu Xia like this has things of interest.

- That is, extremely hot feelings.
