Chapter 51: Something Lucia Is Interested In
Toad Ghost's movements were very slow. Although he was on all fours, he was not as coordinated as a beast, which made his speed so slow that the naked eye could see it.
However, although his speed is very slow, the speed at which he flicks his tongue is astonishingly fast, so fast that in the eyes of ordinary people, almost only a black shadow like a whip can be seen, and then he will be unconscious The case was swept away and swallowed.
After all, Liu Xia is not an ordinary person, his reaction speed is much faster than ordinary people.
The moment his tongue swept towards him, he had already sideways to avoid it, and at the same time, he also pulled out the He Dao at his waist at a dizzying speed, and slashed with a hot and high temperature like a flame, He slashed against the wind from bottom to top, and slashed on Toad Ghost's protruding tongue.
"Shhh-"
Accompanied by a burning sound, a piece of scarlet tongue fell from the air to the ground.
"Whoa!"
Toad Ghost uttered a brief scream, then immediately rolled back his tongue, raised his forelimbs, covered his mouth tightly, and tears even overflowed from his round eyes.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Toad Ghost tightly covered his mouth, with an extremely innocent expression on his face, looking at Liu Xia as if he was looking at some heinous villain, accusing Liu Xia of his evil deeds indistinctly.
"Sure enough, he's mentally retarded... Maybe he was a fool before he became a ghost."
Lucia sighed.
His plan to find out the whereabouts of the ghost manipulating the dream from this ghost fell through immediately.
Liu Xia raised the knife in her hand, her breathing rhythm became extremely hot, and her eyes fell on the neck of the toad ghost in front of her.
His strength is several times stronger than when he dealt with Hand Ghost before, and now facing such an opponent, he should be able to easily and happily instantly kill him.
"Please don't kill him!"
However, the moment Liu Xia was about to attack Toad Ghost, 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 she was about to swing stopped in mid-air.
It wasn't because he felt pity for what happened to the brothers. He never had that kind of feeling in his heart. The reason why he stopped attacking was simply because he felt that this matter had become interesting.
There are not many things that make Lucia feel interesting.
But this pair of brothers in front of them is obviously an exception.
Seeing that Liu Xia stopped the knife in her hand, Murakami immediately put her heart back from her throat, with a clear look of joy on her face.
On the other side, after the tongue was cut off, the Toad Ghost turned around regardless, even ignoring the fact that his back and neck were directly exposed to Liu Xia, and quickly jumped away like a toad.
Although his walking speed was very slow, his jumping distance was quite far, and he disappeared from Lucia's sight in a short while.
"You want to shelter him?"
Liu Xia didn't care about the escaped toad ghost, anyway, his first spirit foundation promotion task had already been completed, judging by the weak appearance of this toad ghost, he didn't look like a member of the Twelve Ghost Moons, it didn't matter to him whether to kill him or not. It doesn't matter.
He turned around and looked at Murakami who came out of the door, his eyes flickered slightly, and a rare desire to know the inside story rose in his heart.
"Yes, it is."
Murakami looked at Liu Xia, although he was extremely nervous, he still spoke stubbornly, "I want to protect my little 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 affirmative. To be able to grow into such a strange-shaped ghost, no less than ten lives must have been stained on his hands.
Only more, no less.
"..."
Murakami opened his mouth, unable to refute for a long while.
This is a fact, he can't refute it, he has just been taught by Liu Xia, and he dare not lie to Liu Xia.
"Who are they eating?" Lucia 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 the lives of other people."
Liu Xia didn't understand his thoughts at all, instead she bloodily revealed the question he had been avoiding all this time, "As long as my younger brother can survive, it doesn't matter how many irrelevant people die?"
"That kind of thing..."
Murura subconsciously wanted to refute, but as soon as the words came out, he fell silent again.
He had never thought about this question in his heart, subconsciously believed that human life is precious, the moment Liu Xia exposed this question, he wanted to refute it.
But unfortunately, judging from his past experience of conniving at his younger brother's cannibalism, he has no confidence to say such words.
"Among the two members of the Ghost Killing Squad who came here, one of the dead ones was also eaten by him?"
Liu Xia saw his contradictory behavior in his eyes, and didn't stop him from pampering his younger brother at all, but continued to ask questions with great interest.
"……Yes."
Murakami lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly with his hands beside him. His heart was also filled with guilt and tormented, "I used chopsticks to make him fall into a coma...and then my brother ate him."
Not everyone in this world has Liu Xia's insight, nor is everyone able to ignore any favors and favors 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 trick the members of the Demon Slayer Squad.
"What about the rest?" Lucia asked again.
"...I have taken refuge in that man."
Murakami replied in a low voice: "Because he liked the life in the dream, he took refuge in that man... The one who died before was unwilling to take refuge in that man, so he was eaten by my brother."
Spineless dead.
The spineless one survived.
Liu Xia understood, she didn't feel any pity and sympathy for the dead team members in her heart, nor did she have any anger and hatred for the team members who took refuge in evil spirits.
Most of the things in this world are only superficially framed grandly, and they seem to be full of truth, goodness and beauty, but in fact, there are always all kinds of ugliness, sins and unsatisfactory things under the beautiful appearance.
People with integrity die, innocent people take the blame, and wars of aggression are launched in the name of righteousness... Everyone who thinks this world is beautiful needs to experience the ugliness hidden under the beautiful appearance.
Liu Xia never had any expectations for this world. Basically, his concept was "it has nothing to do with me". He never paid attention to it or struggled with it. He just accepted everything that was unreasonable and took it for granted.
However, even for such a Lucia, there are still things of interest.
——That is, extremely hot feelings.
