Diablo Destruction

There is a small rocky mountain thousands of miles away from the demon fortress. Looking around, there are patches of gravel and wilderness with different unevenness. The setting sun has painted the place with a faint red.

It was already sunset and dusk. After an afternoon of running, we finally arrived at a safe place where even if we were to fight enemies at the World Power level, it would not have any impact on the Demon Fortress.

Because they were out of the range of the demon fortress, the dark clouds in the sky no longer had to cause trouble and dispersed early. Occasionally, a ray of light was dyed into clouds, making the setting sun that made the stars tower over the moon even more red.

Lying on the largest stone, with me gently hugging him and sitting on my knees, Xiao Heitan raised his head slightly, and stared at the sunset with his squinted eyes.

His face, dyed red by the sunset, glowed with a healthy color, and his forehead no longer sweated. The eyes revealed from the mercury curtain looked very energetic, and he looked like he was sweating profusely and in constant pain all the way. In comparison, it's like the disease is completely cured.

Jeluka thought that the painful worm had settled down, and she held Little Heitan's little hand tightly, with a look of relief on her face that was crying, but... probably only adventurers who often deal with death, Only then can we see it.

Xiao Heitan looks like he has returned to his former glory, but how could I bear to tell Jeluka such a cruel thing.

From time to time, I turned my head to wipe my eyes, and when I turned back, Jeluka and I showed the same relieved smile. But could we fool the smart little Heitan? Human instinct and intuition are very scary. Even a naive child can probably feel what kind of situation he is in.

Even before dying, a cat will find a dark and narrow place, lie there quietly, and never come out again.

"Does it look good?"

Gently caressing Xiao Heitan's thin cheek, I followed her gaze and landed on the sunset.

"Well, it looks good."

Xiao Heitan nodded with a voice that was more lively than usual. His childish little face shone with a moving light of excitement mixed with twilight. It was as cute and attractive as a red apple, making people unable to resist. I want to kiss it.

"It's fine if you like it. As long as little Heitan likes it, even if it's a star in the sky, Dad and Mom will pick it off and give it to Little Heitan."

"Even if it's a willful request...is that okay?"

Looking away from the sky, Xiao Heitan looked at Jeluka timidly, and finally fell on me.

"Idiot, what do you think?"

I pressed my forehead against hers and smiled.

Nodding, Xiao Heitan was still a little cowed. It took a long time before he mustered up the courage to speak.

"Can I... see what my father and mother really look like again?"

Look again?

Jeluka and I were startled by Xiao Heitan's words.

Could it be that she not only knows that we are fakes, but also knows who we are?

In fact, if you think about it, this is not a difficult thing to guess. We contacted us and found the crystal fragment on Xiao Heitan's forehead. Within a few days, the fake father and mother couldn't wait to run out. They happened to be a boy and a girl. It was completely different. You can be sure with 70% to 80% certainty.

However, although it is not difficult to guess, after all, Xiao Heitan is just a little girl who is less than ten years old and has been living in the mines almost all the time. She has limited experience. Is this intelligence and acumen innate or has she been exposed to the harsh environment in these years? Trained in the middle school?

"Really? It turns out that Xiao Heitan has already discovered it. There is really nothing we can do about it."

Although Xiao Heitan was slightly startled, we already knew that the identity of the impostor had been exposed, so Jeluka and I were not too surprised.

He gently touched Xiao Heitan's head, canceled Moon Wolf's illusion, and revealed the true identities of himself and Jeluka to Xiao Heitan.

"Sure enough...it is you, kind-hearted uncle and aunt..."

Xiao Heitan's words made us feel suffocated and heartbroken. Sure enough, after the last layer of disguise was revealed, there was no way to maintain even the title?

But Xiao Heitan's next words made Jeluka and I couldn't help but get wet again.

"Can I...call you...Mom and Dad again?" She asked timidly, timidly yet full of expectation.

"Of course, of course, it doesn't matter if you finish calling me in this life and call me in the next life."

Jeluka and I nodded as if we had found a treasure, and asked the cute little Heitan to hug us tightly.

"Mom... her ears are pointed... so beautiful... her hair is so beautiful... Xiao Heitan has such a beautiful mother..."

Xiao Heitan showed a happy smile, looked at Jeluka, this beautiful girl who was rare even among the elves, and let out a slight sigh.

"Little Heitan will definitely be more beautiful than her mother when she grows up." She gently grasped Little Heitan's hand and put it on her cheek, Jeluka's eyes were gentle and sad.

"Dad... is a hero." Looking back, Xiao Heitan looked at me and said suddenly.

Uh, no comments on appearance?

I wiped my sore eyes and rubbed the little black charcoal with a smile.

"Even though he was a stranger to me, who was humble and humble, he was very gentle. Not only did he give me gold coins, he also protected me."

Like a coquettish cat in the arms of a female cat, as he said this, the little Heitan rubbed his face against each other and rubbed their ears and temples together affectionately.

"Dad...ears..."

His eyes fell on my head inadvertently, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and touched the wolf ears. Then he immediately retracted and looked at me timidly. The feeling was like a kitten gently touching it with its paws. Water is full of care.

Because I have to maintain the illusion from time to time, and because I was running wildly just now, I have not yet touched the moon wolf transformation. As a result, Xiao Heitan looked at me, although it is not a secret that cannot be seen by her.

"This is dad's transformation. Dad is a druid, but it's a little different. Isn't it weird?"

I lowered my head, twitched my furry wolf ears, and took the initiative to reach out to Xiao Heitan. Then she cautiously reached out her hand and rubbed it gently.

Hmm, it's a little itchy.

"And tail, tail."

I also swung my tail up. This was a part that even the three little angels, Jeluka, Ecolu, and Kajiel, would not let them touch easily. Of course, it's not because being caught by the tail will cause you to lose all your strength, nor is it because touching the opponent's tail represents the "most intimate" behavior like the fox-man tribe and the werewolf tribe, but... in short, Lucia and I won't let me Touching her fox tail also has one of the common reasons.

"The fur is soft..."

Little Heitan decisively gave up rubbing my ears and picked up his tail.

In terms of softness and plushness, it is incomparable to Lucia's tail. I gently stroked the little black tan and looked at her happy expression when she hugged her tail, and I smiled fondly.

If...if it makes you happy, why not cut off these ears and this tail?

Touching and touching, Xiao Heitan seemed to treat my tail as a quilt, his eyes gradually closed, his breathing became slightly flat, and he fell asleep.

No...no, could it be said...

His heart felt like it was being grasped hard, his breathing became frozen, and a strong emotion rushed to his brain, and with a buzz, it became completely blank.

"Little Heitan!!"

Subconsciously, she hugged Xiao Heitan tightly. Suddenly, her eyelashes trembled slightly and her eyes narrowed with difficulty.

Just the change in one or two seconds sapped all my strength and spirit, and my body couldn't help but collapse.

"Dad... Xiao Heitan really wants to... really wants to sleep..."

Xiao Heitan turned his face slightly sideways and looked at me. Even under the red clouds, he could still see a trace of paleness on his face. Big beads of sweat gathered on his head unconsciously and flowed down his hair. The space flowed slowly, the chapped lips trembled, and a weak sound came from inside.

"Don't... don't sleep, okay? Please, can you talk to dad again?"

Uncontrollable tears rolled out of my eyes like a flood. I pressed my thin, cold palms tightly against my face and choked with sobs. I finally raised my head and gave Xiao Heitan a look that was even uglier than crying. Begging for a smile.

For the sake of...for the sake of my father's tears, I can chat with my father for a while longer. Really, just a little while will be fine. God, just give us a little while longer! !

"Dad...crying again..."

Xiao Heitan looked over with dull eyes, and gradually became gentle. He gently wiped my tears and nodded with difficulty.

"Little Heitan doesn't sleep...talking to daddy..."

"well……"

My nose kept twitching, but at this time, I couldn't even say a word.

damn it! ! speak! ! damn it! !

"dad……"

Xiao Heitan seemed to be aware of my self-hatred at the moment and spoke first.

"Dad doesn't want to know...why I know that dad and mom...isn't it true?"

"..."

Just these words brought back the souls and souls that Jeluka and I had lost.

Looking at Xiao Heitan, she looked at us with calm eyes, no longer timid. At this moment, we knew that perhaps all the long-standing unsolved doubts would be answered at this moment.

Why... why does Xiao Heitan have to live with such a hard life? The hardships she has endured in the past five years can completely crush an ordinary person, let alone a child, even if she has the will of an adventurer.

Moreover, when I first met her and looked into her eyes, I couldn't find any desire to live in her. What was revealed in the messy and dirty bangs was a deathly gray and scattered gaze.

Also, why do you always look sad sometimes? Why do the negative feelings in my heart increase instead of decreasing? Even if I discovered Jeluka and I's identity early in the morning, it still doesn't make sense. I have that confidence, and the smile that Xiao Heitan showed when we were together was not fake.

Jeluka and I held our breaths and looked at Xiao Heitan motionlessly. Although we didn't nod, the meaning in our eyes was clear. Although we knew that this was probably a piece of dark history, asking Xiao Heitan to say it was a shame. It was a cruel thing for her.

There is no way, Jeluka and I, but her parents, how can we not worry about it!

"From the first time I saw my parents, I knew they were fake." Xiao Heitan said slowly in a very calm voice.

"Because I know...I've known for a long time that my parents are dead."

"But according to us...according to the information we investigated, weren't Xiao Heitan's...two people missing when they went out?"

Jeluka and I were stunned.

"Yes... that day... my original parents went out before dawn... and took me with them..."

"..."

This is completely unavailable information.

As if recalling some horrific memory, Xiao Heitan's body trembled slightly.

"I...that night...accidentally overheard them, because...because I couldn't work...and had to eat and drink...they wanted to sell me...to a mine owner...who liked to eat children... A big evil man named Mai Lin..."

Holding back the pity, shock and anger in our hearts, we continued to listen.

"Because... because I knew... I knew they wanted to take me out and sell me... along the way... I was very scared... very scared... very scared... In the end, I couldn't help but be afraid and struggled..."

Having said this, Xiao Heitan was silent for a long time. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head and looked at us closely.

"Then... the original mom and dad... because at that time they were trying to go up to the cliff baskets (the big baskets that are placed on the cliff and lifted up and down to lift the ore and coal)... but... I ended up pushing them down. …”

After saying that, Xiao Heitan closed his eyes deeply, leaving Jeluka and I in shock.

So that’s what happened. No wonder our identities were revealed as soon as we appeared. It turned out that Xiao Heitan’s original parents were actually pushed off the cliff by her own hands.

"When we got off the cliff...the original father and mother had already...because I was afraid...so scared...I buried the body...so no one found out..."

"..."

"Killing my parents with my own hands... People like me... Even if they are damned... their souls go to hell... and are tortured for eternity... they can't atone for their sins... People like me..."

"So, Xiao Heitan has been living forever, torturing himself in this way to alleviate his inner guilt?"

Caressing Xiao Heitan's head, in her surprised eyes, I hugged her tightly...
