After Annie began to interrogate the so-called "demon" who was arrogant and domineering at first, but later became cautious and submissive, as well as the relationship between the female sword standing next to her who called herself "Claire" and the local boy Lackey.

After some supplementary work, Annie finally understood a little bit about the world and roughly understood the general situation.

According to what the three people said, Anne finally believed that the demon just seemed to be right. They seemed to be really at the top of the food chain in this world?

Like other wild beasts, their so-called top predators do not like group activities because they can always easily transform into humans who have been completely eaten by them, and use their identities to blend into human beings.

Village for sneaking and hunting.

Moreover, it is impossible to distinguish the transformed and lurking demons with the naked eye. The fundamental reason is that the human body that has been eaten by the demon can be re-embodied by the demon, and if the demon eats the victim

If it were the victim's brain, those demons could even completely reproduce the victim's memories and thinking patterns?

As for the great sword, it is a super warrior created by a mysterious organization called "Organization" who experimented on women's bodies and embedded them with the flesh and blood of monsters to gain the power to defeat monsters. They are half human and half monster.

, but like those demons, they possess powerful power that is unimaginable and beyond the reach of ordinary people, so they also have the power to fight, hunt and kill demons.

Anyway, that's probably the same thing, basically the same thing.

Although, Anne was still vaguely confused, but after seeing that the female swordsman Claire and the young boy Lackey only knew so much, and that the demon also couldn't ask for more information, she decided

He didn't mean to continue to embarrass the three of them, but signaled to the big sword Claire to cut off the male demon.

In fact, from the female sword Claire and the male demon who was hacked to death, Anne could see at a glance some very interesting relationships between the two. Things were definitely not like the superficial situation she had learned.

The message is so simple.

However, without more evidence, she was not prepared to say anything, and she was too lazy to explain or meddle in too much. So, instead of staying and accepting the so-called thanks from the ignorant and stupid villagers, she just gave the big man

With a meaningful look, Claire Jian left the village carrying her little bear and disappeared directly into the night.

And Claire the Great Sword also didn't talk nonsense, and she didn't want to stay or want to say anything more to Anne.

She just went to explain the situation to the village chief, saying that the commission she was given had been completed and the demon had been killed by her. Someone would naturally come to check later. After cleaning up the mess and collecting the bounty, she was resolute and indifferent.

He left the village early the next morning.

Just like that, nearly half a month passed quickly, and what happened that day did not cause any bigger waves.

"..."

And tonight, Claire the Great Sword is alone in the deep woods of this uninhabited wilderness, in this creek with clear and cold water pools and small waterfalls, washing her body from killing monsters during this period.

And all kinds of blood smell and dirt are left behind.

Although she is now what the world calls a 'big sword' and has turned into a monster that is neither human nor demon, half human and half demon, there is absolutely no need to clean it, but she still likes to be clean and stubbornly

Do you retain some of the habits you had when you were a human girl, such as loving cleanliness and taking care of yourself?

While washing, Claire suddenly became silent, and her originally indifferent silver eyes gradually became a little dazed.

"..."

In the nearly half a month since she left the village, although Claire had received several missions and eliminated many monsters, she had never encountered that person who had a very strange character that made her feel very strange.

With powerful and weird power, he can easily subdue the demon and her with just a move of his hands and feet, and can even easily suppress the weird little girl with her demonic power.

You know, at that time, she was in a hurry, but she greatly improved her strength by releasing her demonic power.

Under normal circumstances, when warriors in organizations like them, who are called 'big swords' by the world, when they release more than ten percent of their demonic power during battle, their silver pupils will turn into

Golden vertical pupils; when more than 30% of the demonic power is released, the face begins to become ferocious and terrifying; then, when more than 50% of the demonic power is released, the body begins to change and becomes more and more terrifying.

He looks more and more like a demon; but once the demon power is released more than 80%, he will completely lose his mind as a 'human' and can no longer change back to a human being, thus directly becoming an 'awakened one'. This is irreversible!

At that time, when the little girl subdued and controlled her with some strange means, she was frightened and angry, and made plans to sacrifice her life when she couldn't break free, and soon released herself beyond the control.

Eighty percent or even higher of the demonic energy has gradually lost its mind and should have irreversibly become an 'awakened one'.

But no idea...

At that time, I didn't know what the little girl had done to her. Just when she was about to fall completely and become an 'awakened one', the demonic energy in her body was strangely suppressed in an instant.

Then, she actually regained her mind, calmed down, and became a 'human' again?

She has never seen that kind of situation!

Even now, she feels it is a bit unbelievable and unreal, so much so that she once thought it was her delusion. Therefore, she has always kept that matter in her heart and has not dared to report it to the organization until now.

.

"..."

Thinking about it, Claire, who had so many thoughts in her heart and was extremely messy, took a deep breath, then closed her eyes, letting the cold mountain waterfall wash over her white and slender body, which was almost like a human girl.

At least the back looks similar to the naked body.

"whispering sound!"

"Aren't you washed yet?"

Suddenly, at this moment, a cold and joking voice sounded behind Claire in the originally silent mountain forest.

"!!"

Hearing this, Claire was naturally startled, and then turned around in an instant, completely ignoring the fact that she was naked at this time, directly exposing all the curves and skin of her front to the air.

Then, when she came back to her senses, she took a closer look and saw at a glance the wretched and thin man sitting on the edge of the pool, wearing black clothes, a black hat and sunglasses at night.

"..."

Seeing Claire facing him directly and frowning slightly, with no intention of hiding her beautiful curves and skin, the wretched man first pushed up his glasses and looked at Claire's abdomen, and then said with disgust

He asked with a sneer:

"Have you washed away the smell of blood on your body?"

For ordinary men, seeing such a young girl bathing in a waterfall in the wild and facing herself in such beautiful scenery at such a beautiful time, I am afraid that anyone will be excited for a long time, and may even have some crazy ideas?

However, for men like them who are agents, they will never have any thoughts about the warriors in the organization, that is, the 'big sword' in front of them, even if the other party stands behind them without any obstruction.

It’s the same as before!

"Jie!"

"It's useless, you can't wash it off no matter how you wash it..."

"That's the smell emanating from your own bodies, that's the smell of demons!"

"Save it!"

So, apart from ridiculing and sarcasming Claire with a sneer, he doesn't know how to do anything more, and it's impossible for him to do anything more. It's a bit disrespectful to even take a second look?

"Lulu..."

"Have you received the money for today's commission?"

Likewise, Claire had no more thoughts about the other party's arrival or the behavior of looking directly at her body. She just walked slowly towards the shore where she put her clothes and asked indifferently.

"certainly!"

"It's all here, no matter what!"

After raising the large bag of money in his hand and making it make a crisp metal collision sound, the wretched man smiled a little proudly.

Then, seeing Claire starting to dress herself, the wretched man in black didn’t even have the mood to take another look. He just calmed his expression and looked at the night sky in the distance and said that he was here to find Claire this time.

The main purpose of Ya is stated:

"There are new orders!"

"I just received a new commission. It's a pastor in the West Village. It should be less than two days away from here."

“The content is the same as usual!”

"Finding the demons lurking in the crowd and killing them happened a month ago. So far, twenty-seven people have died."

"You should know what to do, right?"

After saying that, he turned to look at Claire again and asked.

At this time, Claire had already put on tight leather pants, and her white and delicate back was completely exposed to his eyes. A beautiful woman taking a bath and changing clothes would usually make normal men have some reveries, but this time

At that time, his face was filled with a sneer of disdain, disgust and disgust.

"!!"

"Twenty-seven people died in one month?"

"So often?"

Claire couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard that more than twenty people had died in just one month, nearly one a day.

You should know that under normal circumstances, at most a few people will die in a place where monsters appear. Although monsters eat people, they do not eat people frequently, and they do not need to eat so much.

Just like these 'big swords', they often only need to eat a little bit of food for two or three days, a small amount is enough, or it doesn't matter if they don't eat or drink for several days, so that kind of abnormal situation can't help but make Ke

Leya felt something was not right.

"Yes."

"Maybe the other person has bulimia?"

"Maybe there are many of them, who knows..."

"But no matter what, the commission has been completed, and I have made arrangements for you. In five days at most, two or three companions will arrive here to support you."

At this time, after seeing that Claire had put on her clothes and turned around, and the condition of her abdomen could no longer be seen, the expression on the wretched man's face became slightly better and he stared at Claire's face with a sneer.

The cold handsome face added.

"Five days..."

"Then at least a few people will die, right?"

Frowning slightly, Claire paused for a moment while picking up the protective gear, then continued wearing it expressionlessly while asking in a cold voice.

"indeed!"

"I guess I can't escape if one person dies in one day, but I don't mind anyway."

"As long as I have the money in the end, that's fine."

"Besides, if they die a little more, they might be afraid. Next time, they won't wait for a month before reluctantly issuing a commission?"

His shoulders were slumped, but the wretched man was smiling ferociously, as if he didn't care about the dead people, and he also didn't care about the situation in that village where more people were about to die.

"..."

Hearing this, Claire said nothing and just continued to dress.

soon!

Claire finished dressing, and finally fastened her sword to the hook behind her before resolutely turning around and striding in a certain direction.

"Well?"

"Claire, are you going to go alone?"

Upon seeing this, the man stared at Claire's retreating figure for a while before suddenly asking jokingly.

"..."

"I don't have the patience to wait."

Claire didn't say much, and still walked forward step by step indifferently.

"Yeah?"

Hearing this, the wretched man just sneered, obviously not too surprised.

"As you wish!"

"Anyway, my mission is only to issue orders to you and provide support outside of combat. I will not interfere with other matters, such as how you want to deal with your own lives."

Then, he turned his head, continued to look at the night sky and sighed quietly.

"..."

Claire remained indifferent and continued walking forward.

However, when she was about fifty meters away from the other party, she stopped again, hesitated for a long time, and then suddenly talked coldly about something that she had never figured out:

"I……"

"In that mission not long ago, I met a little human girl in that village. She seemed to have some kind of weird power that could suppress demons.

"you……"

"Do you know what that's about?"

Although she was not sure whether she could get the answer, Claire finally spoke up and directly told what happened in that village that day.

Of course, she did not tell the whole story about how she had released more than 80% of her demonic power. She just mentioned some key points about how the little girl could easily suppress the man-eating demon.

"The little girl who can suppress the demon?"

"ha!"

"That's impossible!

He was startled at first, and then the wretched man in black shook his head with disdain and sneered and denied, obviously not believing the ridiculous things Claire said.

"Yeah……"

Claire didn't defend herself, but paused after receiving the other party's reply, and then continued walking forward.

Anyway, she was very sure that at that time, in order to break away from the control of the other party's weird power, she did release her own demon power to the spiritual realm point, even 100%. That situation must be impossible to come back.

.

But……

The other party seemed to have easily suppressed her demonic power with just a look. Thinking about it now, she felt a little frightened but also inexplicably surprised. She couldn't figure out the key to it.

But since neither that guy nor her agent Lu Lu knew about it and didn't believe it, she naturally had nothing to say.

"Fine!

"I will report it, and the organization may also investigate, although that doesn't sound very reliable?"

"whispering sound……"

After staring at Claire's back for a long time, until Claire was about to disappear into the dark woods, the wretched man smiled, and then said softly, regardless of whether Claire heard it or not.

With.

"..."

In this regard, Claire did not make any statement, just continued walking, and soon disappeared into the woods under the night.

And at this time...

In the West Village, in the village and town that was mentioned by Claire and the agent Lulu just now, which was ravaged by demons and killed twenty-seven people in just one month, the troublesome little girl was also mentioned by them.

But I was wandering around the quiet, dark and damp streets of the West Village without knowing what fear and danger was.

Now this town is under the shadow of the terrible monster threat. No one knows who the monster is or where the monster lurks. Therefore, there is an atmosphere of fear everywhere. Every household has closed its doors and windows and turned off the lights early.

Make this city look like some terrifying dead zone.

It is precisely because of this that Anne, as an outsider, was directly rejected by the people here.

The owner of the hotel and restaurant didn't provide any services to any guests at night, and he didn't even dare to provide a room and take her in. Even if she had money, it was useless. He even kicked her out early before nightfall.

.

"..."

(*｀ー)

Therefore, it is strange that Annie, who is taking a walk now, is in a good mood.

(…)

(●￣￣●)

(As for his troublesome little master, Tibbers can tell without guessing that someone will definitely be unlucky next! Of course, there may also be someone who is not a human being? It doesn’t matter what he is, anyway, it’s

You know, as long as there is anger and risk that can be transferred, and happiness can be gained by its bad little master.)

Under the terrifying shadow of the monster, the town at night was shrouded in silence, and the faint light of the kerosene street lamp shone on Annie passing by, stretching her shadow longer and longer.

'ah!!!'

At this moment, as Annie was walking on the streets of the West Village, suddenly, a piercing scream came from a distance and broke the tranquility.

"Is it over there?"

(°ー°〃)

Annie raised her head and was about to take a step towards the place where the scream came from, but suddenly she found that she was standing in a dark shadow at some point, and something seemed to be shining on her.

The light reaching her was blocked?

"..."

(￢д￢.)

So, she had to frown and turned to glance in the direction where she felt the smell of blood.

"Jie..."

Soon, as Annie's gaze swept across, a twisted figure finally walked out of the darkness with a grin and appeared in front of Annie.

Obviously, that guy has the same deformed body, distorted facial features and the same smell as the demon and the female sword that Anne encountered before.

"Jiejiejie..."

The other party seemed to be so convinced of Annie that as he walked out, he let out that eerie, disgusting and creepy laugh.

"Little girl, are you alone?"

"never mind!"

“No matter how many people you have, you look like you’re going to make a delicious dinner!”

"I made a decision……"

"I want to slowly eat your delicious flesh and blood and internal organs!"

Although, I don’t know why a seven or eight-year-old girl like Annie dares to walk on the street alone at this time without showing any fearful expression or behavior, such as screaming or running away, but that monster

But he didn't care about it anymore, he just said it in a sinister tone while threatening him step by step.

"D?"

()

Anne was startled for a moment, then smiled slightly, and then replied calmly and sweetly:

"All right!"

╮(╯▽╰)╭

"You are not the first person who wants to eat someone else's food. Otherwise..."

(ω)

"You come over here and give it a try?"

(-)

You know, from the time Annie was three years old, she wandered around the Voodoo Land. There were so many monsters, animals and other messy creatures or dead things that wanted to eat her, but what was the result?

Except for a certain nasty little bear that she caught and carried with her every day, beating up when she was happy or unhappy, where are the other guys now?

(…)

(￢￢.)

"??"

"you……"

Hearing Anne's strange words, the demon was obviously surprised.

After all, in this month, in this village and town, no matter adults or children, they can still be so calm in the face of monsters like them, they can't help but run or scream, and even invite him to try with a smile.

, he really has never met any of them!

"!!"

“Just try it!”

"I will eat you bit by bit!!"

But soon, he regained his composure, and then he no longer thought about it. He just smiled and stretched out his hideous and terrifying hand towards Anne.

"..."

(ω)

However, Annie did not use any magic or other power to resist at all. She just flexibly turned to the left and easily avoided the opponent's disgusting big hand.

"Ha ha!"

(*)

Then, when the other party continued to grab her without giving up, Annie naturally continued to move around, dodge and laugh.

"You can't catch it!!"

(゜▽＾*)

And her speed is not fast, she looks similar to an ordinary little human girl, but the monster just can't catch it, even if she exhausts all her strength, she is so fast that it is almost invisible to the naked eye, and even she will

The same goes for strange hands that suddenly grow longer.

"you……"

"Something's wrong!"

"Who are you?"

Finally, when the demon's face gradually became ferocious and impatient, when he was out of breath from exhaustion, but he saw the little girl still calm and happy standing on the street less than three meters away from him,

He finally realized that the little girl in front of him was completely different from the little human girls he had eaten!

"??"

Then, when the monster began to retreat and prepare to escape, Anne finally became impatient and took action.

"flame……"

(ψ｀▽′)

She just clicked lightly with her fingers, and a flame instantly hit the monster. Then, the raging flames started to burn up from the opponent's feet and spread, but it did not burn the monster to death immediately.

It burned slowly, causing it to emit horrible howling sounds.

"No!!!"

"Wow!!"

"Help, help ah ah!"

"I don't want to die!!!"

"Uhhhhhh!!!"

Of course, in addition to the miserable howls, it is inevitable that the opponent will fall down on the quiet and dark street with flames all over his body, rolling around in an attempt to extinguish the fire, and at the same time, the whole street will be illuminated red.

"So……"

乛乛

After a long time, when the other party was burnt to the point of being charred on the outside and tender on the inside, so burned that neither of his throats could make any sound, and curled up on the corner of the street, whimpering and unable to stand up, Anne smiled evilly and evilly.

"Try this again?"

()

Then, she suddenly grimaced, and following her words, a thick thunderbolt fell from the sky and struck the monster directly.

Boom!!

Click!

The lightning instantly illuminated the entire street and even the entire village, and the roar of thunder was even more deafening, causing the entire village to tremble slightly like an earthquake.

However, even so, even though the screams of the demon just now spread throughout the West Village, no matter it is the other remaining demons, or those who are hiding in their own homes and closing the doors and windows tightly, shivering.

The villagers seemed to have got used to it, and they had no intention of opening the windows to check or gathering together to investigate?

‘…’

At this time, when the thunder and lightning dissipated, the demon that just clamored to eat Annie had turned into a pile of human-shaped ashes and huddled motionless on the street corner after experiencing the burning of the flames and the baptism of thunder and lightning.

.

"..."

(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~

Seeing this, Anne turned around and left without even looking at her, continuing her night walk.

Although, the first demon that came to the door seeking death has been eliminated, but as Anne knows, there are still other demons in this town, such as the place where the scream just came out?

And since they were all taken action, she definitely didn't mind taking another walk, and took advantage of the night and the opportunity to find them one by one and clean them up when no one saw them.

"It should be this way, right?"

()°

"Let's go! Tibbs, let's go see, who else wants to have supper tonight?"

()

With that said, after determining the direction of the scream just now, Annie continued to carry her little bear, turned around and walked in the other direction of the street.

(…)
