"It's a kind of monster that lives in dreams. It can live in the dreams of other creatures, or it can actively create dreams and feed on dreams."
The black-haired monster continued: "There is often such a legend in Western stories, probably that someone has constant nightmares, and he sleeps every day with nightmares, and needs to be purified by a priest to get better. In fact, this is living in a nightmare and purified by a priest. The process is actually an act of arrest.”
"Coincidentally, there are similar monsters in Oriental legends - the Nightmare Tapir, but in the Oriental Story, the Nightmare Tapir is a creature that devours human nightmares, and is known as a mythical beast."
"Basically, these myths and legends should not be underestimated, many of them are true, especially if a creature appears in both Eastern and Western myths, it can basically be judged that it originally existed. Now." As a senior folklore researcher, I have to say that A Jin's words are very convincing.
Ji Huan and Grandpa looked at each other, then Ji Huan looked at his hand.
"However, I only learned today that Nightmare also has the ability to explore the deep memory of the host, so it seems... The reason why Nightmare will go extinct may not be as I guessed before, because it is too weak and extinct, but it has grasped what should not be grasped. ability, so it may be eliminated in a planned way.”
As the black-haired monster said this, he seemed to be lost in thought, and after a while he raised his head again: "Any ability related to "consciousness" is a very dangerous ability, just like the human world, any brain-related ability Diseases are serious diseases, and the same is true in the world of monsters. Your ability is not strong enough, and you may be controlled by the host if you are not careful. In addition, you are not a real nightmare. When you enter other people's dreams, your body will stay outside, and any unexpected situation may cause fatal damage to you. "
"After today, don't let the fourth person know about your ability, and don't use it again." Turning his head, the black-haired monster said to Ji Huan.
"But... what about the information about those monsters in Dufay's memory? Only I saw it, I... " Ji Huan was stunned.
Having read the memory of the red-haired monster, he already knew the name of that monster.
The black-haired monster looked at him calmly with its jet-black eyes: "When I go out to the banquet next time, I may need to ask you to go with me."
Ji Huan nodded.
"As for Dufay... He doesn't need to worry about it. I will sign an oath with him. The content of the oath will be carefully designed, and it will be higher than all the oaths he signed before, and it won't connect you with the situation here. Give way."
Jihuan has always been at ease when Ajin does things. Since he said so, then things will be done the best. However, what makes Jihuan slightly stunned is: Listening to Ajin's tone, since he wants to talk to Dufai Sign an oath, then...
Did he want to let Dufay go
His inner activity leaked slightly from his eyes, and was seen by the black-haired monster beside him.
"Didn't you enter his dream just now? He was only one of the participants in the ambush plan back then. After getting... my meat, he left to find Lulin, including the siege of Saroye. Participate, even if I kill him, I can't get more from him, I might as well keep him." The black-haired monster said with a smile.
Although-
According to his original plan, he was going to kill the other party.
He appreciates those who keep secrets strictly, but he will not let these guys get in his way. If the other party refuses to answer his questions, he has another method to explore the other party's secrets.
It's going to be bloody though.
Jihuan lowered his head: "I just thought... If Dufay and the others are gone, Xiaohong... How will Buffalette be accommodated... "
A Jin glanced at him: "That child is a bear child in your words."
"It's not bad to raise a few more cute little monsters like Black Egg. As for Bulfaret, let his parents raise them himself."
A Jin clearly expressed his attitude.
Jihuan and Grandpa looked at each other, and both grandparents and grandchildren laughed together.
That night, Ah Jin released Dufay and Lu Lin.
Dufay's appearance shocked the grandfather who had never seen him before, but he didn't say anything, just hugged the study carpet soaked in Dufay's blood.
Ji Huan glanced at A Jin and gently closed the door of the study.
Grandpa was brushing the carpet, Jihuan went to the next room to watch Heidan and Xiaohong, while Ajin was talking with Dufay in the study.
At around five in the morning, before they finished talking, the black egg stubbornly woke up according to the biological clock. When he found out that Grandpa was not there, the little monster moved his head, and when he saw the moment of chirp, he giggled.
Ji Huan hugged him.
The little monster that just crawled out of the bed was hot, but it was probably not Heidan's own heat, but Xiaohong's.
Looking at Xiaohong who was still sleeping, Ji Huan sighed softly in her heart.
Holding Heidan in his arms, Ji Huan walked to the window and picked up Grandpa's beard brush. He started to brush Heidan's hair.
My sister's head was much easier to comb than her previous long hair. After combing her hair, Ji Huan put the little monster on the ground, and the little monster went to get dressed by herself.
While putting on his clothes, he also looked in the direction of Xiaohong.
Jihuan also looked in the direction of Xiaohong, and when he saw it, he found that the little monster who was snoring just now was actually crying.
"Dad, Dad." After all, he was still a young monster. He hadn't seen his father for more than two days. The little red-haired monster was a little scared.
"Call Xiaohong up."
Chiu Chiu only gave an order, and the black egg immediately woke Xiaohong up.
Black Egg's way of calling people is a bit rude, but Little Red doesn't care about the thick skin and flesh.
The sober little monster looked at Heidan, then at Jihuan, lowered his head for a while, and whispered a little aggrieved: "I miss Dad."
Touching the little guy's soft curly hair, Ji Huan said after a while, "Maybe, you can see him today."
Then he held one in each hand and took two little monsters to the yard to freshen up.
After years of careful care, this small courtyard is not at all what it looked like when Jihuan first saw it. Even in the arid Yefar, all kinds of plants still grow vigorously. , their drooping bodies will rise up again.
Under the leadership of Ji Huan, the two little monsters and him picked vegetables suitable for breakfast in the vegetable field, and went to the chicken coop to dig eggs.
These are things that Buffalette had never experienced before. Even if he experienced it a few times under the leadership of Black Egg, for him, these were still very fun games.
Holding the hot and stinky eggs in her hands, Xiaohong followed Jihuan into the big house.
When he saw Lu Lin sitting next to the dining table, the little monster's mouth suddenly opened wide.
"Dad! Daddy!" He opened his arms and ran towards Lu Lin's arms at once.
He never thought that after being caught, he would be released and see his little monster again. There were faint tears in Lu Lin's eyes.
The father and son hugged and hugged for a long time, and the little monster that returned to the father's arms recovered his spirit, and began to proudly show off his newly learned talents in the past few days.
The most convenient display tool is the egg in your hand~
The little monster proudly showed the egg in his hand to his father.
"Dad! Dad! Look, I can pick up eggs! Chickens are very fierce. I have to dodge the attack of chickens before I can pick up an egg!"
He also showed his father his new haircut: "Look, Dad! It was Jiu Jiu who cut my hair, just like Eggy, does it look good?"
Probably because of being with Dandan who loves beauty every day, Buffalette now has a primary awareness of beauty.
"Good-looking, good-looking, Bulfaret is amazing..." Lu Lin was obviously very excited, and it was rare for him to be self-sufficient and unable to control his expression.
After being intimate with his little monster, Lu Lin secretly confirmed from top to bottom that his little monster was unscathed and intact. At this time, he pointed to the red-haired monster who was bandaged into a mummy.
"It's also your dad opposite, go and hug him."
That monster is naturally Dufai.
The wound on his body was still bleeding, and Grandpa tore off two sheets, which covered all the wounds on his body.
The appearance of the other party was so terrifying that Bulfaret was urged several times before walking slowly over.
"Why are you like this! Have you been beaten? Who beat you up like this? Why?" The little monster asked after being kissed several times by the other party and managed to escape the other party's mouth.
The red-haired monster was stunned for a while, and just when he didn't know how to answer, Ji Huan suddenly said:
"He used to bully my friend with other monsters. After I found out, I beat him up."
The little red-haired monster stared at Jihuan in a stunned manner, and after a while, the little monster looked at Dufay who was holding him in a blasphemous way: "Then you must have done something bad, Xiaohua Chiu Chiu never hits anyone casually, only children do it. Bad things only hit people!"
Glancing at his little monster in a daze, the red-haired monster flattened his mouth, and finally nodded: "Yes, he did something bad."
After enjoying a breakfast with the Jihuan family that was very characteristic of Bade Town, Dufay and Lu Lin left with Xiaohong.
Before leaving, Heidan also gave him his comb.
"Egg, I will come to your house to play! Leave me some eggs to pick up!" Holding the comb, Bulfaret was reluctant to part.
Hei Dan waved his small paw at him in Chiu Chiu's arms.
Not knowing what happened between the adults, the friendship between the little monsters deepened.
"Let me give you a hug?" Following behind Lu Lin, Dufay stared at the little red-haired monster held in his arms by Lu Lin.
The little monster shrunk its head into Lu Lin's arms.
"He hasn't seen you since he was born, you have to give him time to adapt." Lu Lin said softly, touching the little monster's red sister's head.
"..." Dufay didn't say anything, and walked quietly behind Lu Lin for a while before saying, "I thought it was wrong."
"I thought it would be safer for you and Buffalet to let you go. Others don't know about our relationship."
"But there are always those who survived back then, but it's better to put you by my side."
Just like Ferzaha, when everyone thought that he was dead and that even if he was alive, he would remain anonymous and never appear in front of the public, but he came back with great fanfare.
Even the little monsters in the family were brought out in an open and fair manner.
This is certainly a target, but there are monsters who want to harm people, and naturally there are monsters who protect them for profit. It's like, if someone wants to ambush Ferzaha now, is there a lot of monsters who want to kill him and get a piece of the pie? Or is the reason behind him, and in turn, there are many monsters who kill the ambushers? It's really hard to say.
"What kind of oath did you sign?" Lu Lin asked in a low voice, thinking of Dufay's weakness after signing the oath.
"Won't die." Although it did pay a huge price.
However, in the world of monsters, it is not an exaggeration for him to die because of what he did before. He had to lose the lives of Lu Lin and Bulfaret. To be able to save his life by signing an oath, Dufai is already content. .
His own life doesn't matter, the key is that Lu Lin will be safe and sound.
"You're like that again." He didn't say anything.
"Haha, monsters must have a sense of mystery to be attractive." Dufay grinned before his eyes could be opened.
The two monsters turned the corner while talking, and a smiling Asimu appeared in front of them.
When he saw him, Lu Lin couldn't help but tremble slightly, and Dufay supported him behind him.
"Please." Asimu smiled and opened a passage for them.
"Where to go? To Mr. Lulin's mansion in the West Nine District, or Mr. Dufay's mansion in the South Nine District?" He asked very simply, like a taxi driver asking a passenger's destination.
However-
The addresses of Lu Lin and Du Fai are absolutely confidential, and it is easy to ask this question. There is no doubt that Asimu is telling them: I have been to your lair long ago, and I can go there at any time.
"Go to South Ninth District." Dufay replied with a slight glimpse of his eyes.
"Go back with me? I know it's dangerous to be around me, but now... no matter how dangerous it is, I still want you to stay with me. You see, Mr. Ferzaha's home... is fine." Heaven has changed.
Dufay looked at Lu Lin with his right eye with only one slit left.
"..." The silver-haired monster just glanced at him, and then took the lead into Asimu's passage with Buffalet in his arms.
Without answering, he showed his answer with action.
In this way, Lu Lin, a businessman living in the West Ninth District from the south, returned to the south, and when the monsters in the West Ninth District came to be held accountable, these monsters were directly sent by Dufay to kill them.
Only then did the monsters know that the monster behind Lu Lin was actually the chief boss of the South Nine District? Dufay.
In this way, the original internal clean-up activities in the West Kowloon District instantly turned into a confrontation between the two main areas in the southwest.
All the chaos ended with the death of the boss of the West Kowloon District, Trud. After him, the little-known upstart monster Jin Malphite Fairzaha re-entered the position of the chief boss of the West Kowloon District. I have to say that this is a devilish version of the story of "the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins".
