The sound of the sharp weapon piercing into the sky sounded in the forest, and scarlet blood crept with the cracks and cracks of the wound, and then sprinkled on the ground, dyeing a piece of land red.

"..." Ling Meng opened her eyes widened at this time and slowly raised her head. Standing in front of her was a girl with black hair - Elliko.

Elliko crossed her chest with her hands, looked at Ling Meng helplessly, and said, "It's really...no way? Is it? I'm running to such a place alone..."

"Woo~ But..." Ling Meng sobbed, trying to say something, but in the end she slowly lowered her head.

"Didn't you tell me that Monster Forest has a super terrifying monster!" Elliko slowly touched Ling Meng's head, and then asked softly: "Hey, Ling Meng, why did you come here?"

"Wuwu...wow...wow..." Lingmeng burst into tears after hearing this question, "Why, why did Lumiya not come back for several days, why did her mother leave? Is it because Lingmeng did something bad? So they don't want Lingmeng anymore. Lingmeng miss them very much..."

"Be good." Elliko gently hugged Lingmeng, then stood up and said, "No, both Mama and Lumia like Lingmeng very much, how could they hate Lingmeng? So don't worry, they just went out for something and came back in a few days."

"Really?" Ling Meng grabbed Elliko's hand tightly and asked pitifully: "Will you really come back?"

"Of course, I promise you~" Elliko's voice was firm and calm, "Because Lumiya and her mother like Lingmeng the most, so, absolutely, they will definitely come back."

"Really?" Ling Meng looked at Elliko and asked pitifully: "What are you lying to? Come on, let's go back. Wait for Grandma and Lumia to come back in the shrine."

"Yeah." Ling Meng sobbed a few times, then nodded slowly, and then, along with the sound of footsteps step by step, Elliko gradually moved farther and farther away.

Behind a bush, Lumia was wearing thick air while biting her arm tightly. The flesh and blood on it had been blurred by biting, and the blood that could not stop dripping downwards, but Lumia could not feel the pain at all, because at this time the pain in her heart had long surpassed the pain of the highest level.

Tears were already covered with her face. She whimpered and said in depression: "Lingmeng...I...want to go back..."

Monster Forest. Late Night.

Accompanied by the crow's screams, Yakumo Zi slowly stood in front of Lumia leaning against the tree trunk, looking at Lumia who was extremely weak with expressionless expression, and slowly said, "...Is there an answer?"

"..." Lumia slowly leaned against the tree, lowered her head, her hair was messy, her face was covered with dust, and her eyes were covered with thick dark circles. Her eyes were lost, like a little girl who had been turned into rice by hundreds of people.

Yakumoto slowly closed his eyes, then opened them again and said, "...you have worked very hard."

"..." Lumia seemed to be saying something, but she was vague, which made Yakumozumi stop talking quietly. Listening to her voice, she said with difficulty: "I... don't eat people..."

"..." Yakumozu stood quietly. Blood spilled out from her lips. She seemed to feel the pain of her teeth biting her lips, but instead roared: "Give me a stop!"

Yakumo Jun showed an angry expression for the first time, and her eyes looked at Lumia with anger. She said, "If you hold on there, you will only die! Don't hold on there and those boring stubbornness there! Accept it for me!!"

What to accept? Accept the fact that you are a cannibal monster, and accept the fact that you want to eat people.

"Haa...ha..." Yakumo Zi gasped heavily and stared at Lumia in front of her.

Lumiya seemed to be demented, completely ignored Yakumo Zi's words, and murmured: "I want to go back, go back to Lingmeng... She is waiting for me... I want to go with everyone again... and smile... and eat..."

Lumia's voice was a dreamy voice, and a soft expression appeared on her face, and tears slowly slid down the corners of her eyes, making Yakumozu, who was watching this scene, look so complicated that she didn't know what to say.

At this time, a sound familiar to Lumia's heart trembling came with the sound of footsteps of meteors: "No matter what she said to that monster, she won't nod, I know very well."

Lumia's eyes slowly opened, and then she raised her head with difficulty—

The witch, grandma, was walking quickly and said to Yakumoto, "Let me leave it next."

"What......" Lumia's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it when she looked at the person in front of her...

Boli's witch stood in front of her with her hands on her chest, with a strange fox mask on her face. Aside her was a girl who looked very similar to Lumia, even with her clothes, hair color and pupil color, but she looked like a child.

Grandma looked at Lumia, her voice was cold and ruthless, without any emotion: "Lumia, I'm sorry for you, but... I'm going to let you die."

"Do you... let me die?" Lumiya raised her head tremblingly, looked at her mother standing in front of her in disbelief, then pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with difficulty: "Ha... what are you... talking about? Don't make a weird joke..."

As she said that, she looked at the girl who stood behind her, who looked exactly the same as herself, but looked like her, who was about ten years old, with a blank expression on her face, and asked, "Who is that girl...?"

"Ah, don't you understand after seeing it?" Boli's witch squatted down and touched the girl's head, saying, "This child is 'Lumia'!"

"Eh?" Lumia raised her head in surprise, looked at the Boli witch who was squatting on the ground and touching the girl's head intimately, and then looked at the 'Lumia' who continued to look expressionless and seemed to be dazed.

"Although you will die here, how can I say that, I will be a little troubled by this." The witch Boli chuckled, as if explaining something, "You are the 'dark' of this world. If you weren't for you, this world would not have come to night, and then this world would definitely collapse, it must be!"

"..." Lumia widened her eyes and stared at the witch Boli in front of her with an incredible look, as if she was waiting for her to say something like 'Just, okay, let's go back'.

However, the witch Boli said slowly, "So, I made a substitute, and it was completely. I would not think of strange things, but would only fulfill her duties honestly."

In Lumia's bloodshot eyes again, Boli said relaxedly: "Do you understand what this means? It's very simple, that's... you are no longer needed."

As he said that, the witch Boli slowly pulled out a few spells and held them in her hand.

———————————————————————————————————————————————

Monster Forest, the second half of the night.

With a "boom", accompanied by a thunderous sound, a large amount of dust appeared in front of the Boli witch. After the dust gradually dissipated, a deep gully appeared in front of her body.

"Zi... I will kill this guy." Boli's witch stretched out his right hand and the talisman in her hand had disappeared. It was obvious that the attack just now was made by her spell.

Looking at Lumia who had been lying on the ground without moving after being attacked, the witch Boli said slowly: "Only that guy, you can't do anything to rely on your ability to control the realm, right?"

"Because there is nothing to use the realm!" Boli's witch tilted her head, Kan Ze Yakumozi, said, "So, take 'Lumia' away."

"..." Yakumozu slowly turned around, and a black gap was cracked behind her. She held "Lumia's back with one hand, then slowly walked into the gap, and said, "You...no... nothing, you can only force me to do it."

As he said that, Yakumoko slowly took a step and walked into the depths of the darkness, and the exposed gap slowly closed, leaving only the forest with the only two people, Boli and Lumia... No, one is not a human being, and one is just a monster.

"Hu." Boli's witch slowly let out a breath, twisted her neck, then jumped on the spot, and said, "Oh, this outfit hasn't been used for a long time."

As she said that, she slowly raised her head, looked at Lumia who was lying on the ground, and murmured: "Okay, it's almost done, right?"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
