Diablo Destruction

"Why……"

The little Heitan in his arms raised his head with confused eyes.

"I am an unlucky person... maybe... maybe in the future I will even lose my parents..."

"Shh... don't talk nonsense..."

Before I finished speaking, I stretched out my fingers and blocked Xiao Heitan's small mouth.

"Xiao Heitan didn't do anything wrong. Since they want to do harm to Xiao Heitan, they would be stupid if they didn't struggle. Besides, you were just careless and didn't mean it. Xiao Heitan is my precious daughter, nothing Ominous person, when I hear such words, even if it is said by me, I am still very angry."

"dad……"

Holding my clothes tightly, Xiao Heitan smiled weakly and pressed his head close to me. However, the sad and self-reproaching look on his little face was not relieved by my comfort just now.

She had persisted in self-blame for five years, and it was the root cause that kept her alive and endured all the suffering. This idea, for Xiao Heitan, was already a solid existence similar to faith.

Insisting that one is guilty and insisting on self-punishment, in order to obtain a sense of atonement from the strong self-blame and guilt, is like gangrene in the bones, this dark barrier that permeates Xiao Heitan's entire soul. If I could just rely on a few words from me, If he could break it, he might have already acquired the title of Pickup Hand.

I'm afraid that this miasma in Xiao Heitan's heart is the last and most difficult obstacle in the journey that must be overcome, otherwise he will be be.

"Father and mother... are so gentle..."

After a while, Xiao Heitan breathed out softly in his arms and murmured.

"Even someone like Xiao Heitan... wouldn't dislike it... It's great to be able to meet mom and dad... but..."

Raising his head, Xiao Heitan looked at Jeluka and me, his squinting eyes seemed to fall on the fresh tears on our faces.

Then, she shook her head in pain.

"I... am indeed an ominous person... I actually made my parents so sad... if... if I hadn't met... my parents wouldn't be sad..."

"What are you talking about...idiot..."

I stared, and after seeing Xiao Heitan's weak and weak face, my heart softened again.

"Originally... I should have thought that... my ominous self... shouldn't accept this happiness... The person who killed his parents... should have gone to hell... If he gets close to others... he will only destroy them Drag us together..."

"No! That's not the case!!"

Holding Xiao Heitan's little hand tightly, facing those determined eyes, I couldn't explain it with a single word. At this time, even if I yelled words like "We are very happy to be with you" in Xiao Heitan's ear, What's the use for Xiao Heitan?

The demonic barrier in our hearts, that extremely strong soul barrier, the source of negative emotions for Xiao Heitan, is now standing in front of us, but with no strength, we are helpless, and the painful worms are hiding on the opposite side of the barrier. , while crazily absorbing power, while laughing at our overestimation.

"But... I still couldn't help it... When my parents appeared in front of me again... Even though I knew it was fake... I knew it was because of the crystal that suddenly appeared on my forehead... I still couldn't help but be happy... ...happy...even though I am not qualified...but I can't help but accept this happiness...perhaps the result now...is the ultimate punishment for me...but it has affected my father and mother..."

"Does Xiao Heitan think that our meeting is God's punishment for you?"

I yelled at the top of my lungs, but I couldn't tell who the pain and anger in my heart should be directed at, so I could only hold it in my heart and bleed with distress.

"That's not right..."

Xiao Heitan caressed my somewhat distorted face and showed a gentle smile.

"Our meeting... must have been God taking a nap quietly..."

"Fool……"

I wanted to cry and laugh again, but I was afraid that my expression must be very vivid now.

"But... taking a nap is only for a while after all..."

The little hand caressing my cheek became more gentle and colder. I opened my mouth in confusion, but my throat could only make some hoarse sounds of unknown meaning. I could only wrap the little hand on my cheek tightly and use my own body temperature. Go warm.

"But... I'm already very happy... I can still enjoy such happiness... No matter what happens in the future... it doesn't matter... But it makes my parents sad... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... …It’s me who should say I’m sorry…”

"You idiot, don't take all the blame on yourself! How could I have such an idiot daughter?"

I murmured as I looked at Xiao Heitan who blamed all the faults on himself and his ominous attributes.

"We are a family. We are one. Happiness is shared, sadness is also shared. If Xiao Heitan is unlucky, then let's be an unlucky family together and spread the unluckyness to the world."

"Wouldn't that make me a devil?" Xiao Heitan smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at me gently.

"I don't care, as long as Xiao Heitan is happy." I said nonchalantly as I hugged Xiao Heitan domineeringly.

"Dad is really... willful... but... I like... this kind of dad the most... Wow!!"

Suddenly, Xiao Heitan let out a painful cry, and his face began to twist in pain.

"Xiao Heitan!!" My expression changed.

"No...it's nothing...I...I promised...to chat with dad...it's not over yet...isn't it?"

Apparently suppressing the pained expression on his face with astonishing willpower, Xiao Heitan forced a pale smile.

"Yes... I have to keep... keep chatting with dad... Xiao Heitan can't... be a disobedient child."

Jeluka and I choked up again. Looking at the sunset, there was only a thin line of distance before it completely sank to the horizon. A layer of night was quietly spreading over this wilderness.

We couldn't help but tremble, as if falling into an ice cellar. A strong chill suddenly surged through the blood in our bodies, and even our hearts seemed to have stopped beating.

The time Kane said... has almost arrived.

"name……"

"What?"

We wiped away our tears and caught Xiao Heitan's weak voice, almost like lip language, and asked.

"My parents' names...I don't know yet..."

Xiao Heitan raised his chin, looked at me and Jeluka with hopeful eyes, and said again.

"..."

There was a buzzing sound in our heads, and the two of us felt regretful and almost wanted to punch ourselves in the head. This is nothing. We have been with Xiao Heitan for nearly two months, and we are no different from the same family.

But among this family, the daughter doesn't even know the names of her parents. What's going on? It was enough to hide her identity before, but why has she forgotten it at this moment? Are we still considered qualified parents?

"Remember it, Xiao Heitan."

Taking a deep breath, I gently patted Xiao Heitan's childish chest to make her breathe easier, while facing her with a gentle and serious expression.

"Xiao Heitan, you must remember that next time... the next time you wake up, you must be proud of your father and mother."

With Xiao Heitan nodding and looking at me seriously, I spoke slowly.

"Your father, Druid Wu Fan, is an elder of the Alliance, the Prince of the Elf Tribe, and is known as the Twin Stars of the Continent. In other words, in the entire Dark Continent, there is only one other person who can possibly be with me. Dad is on par."

In order to make Xiao Heitan proudly puff up his chest, for the first time, I said my very exaggerated titles in an extremely proud tone.

"Wu Fan...Wu Fan...I remember..."

Xiao Heitan murmured to himself several times and smiled: "My father... his name is Wu Fan... he is an elder... a prince... and the greatest hero..."

"Aren't you going to doubt my words?"

I touched my nose in embarrassment. If one day, your father, who is working in the blacksmith shop, suddenly spreads his chest and hands in front of you like a xx alien who wants to invade the galaxy, and loudly announces that he is this The savior of the world, how would you feel if there is only one bad guy in the world who can rival you and wants to stop you from saving the universe?

Unexpectedly, I was trusted easily.

"Could it be that what dad said is false?" Xiao Heitan asked.

"Idiot, how could dad lie to you? Otherwise, dad would immediately bring Glio here to testify."

Greo is a well-known figure in the Demon Fortress. If he testifies, Xiao Heitan will probably believe it.

"No need..." Xiao Heitan just shook his head.

"I believe dad...and...none of this is important...the important thing is..." After a pause, Xiao Heitan looked over with affectionate eyes.

"Dad...is the greatest hero in my heart...that's enough..."

"Little Heitan..."

I was so moved that I wiped my eyes. Such a lovely daughter may not even be found in fairy tales.

"My mother's name is Jeluka, but she is one of the twelve inheritors of the Elf clan, woo~~~"

Xiao Heitan's eyes fell on Jeluka. She immediately puffed up her chest and became proud, but then she became a little discouraged.

There is nothing to say about the Alliance Elder and His Royal Highness. Even if you don’t know exactly how big your background is, you can still scare people just by hearing the name.

But the twelve inheritors of the Elf clan...how could Xiao Heitan know that? Just hearing the name can't scare anyone.

"The personal maid of the great elder Arlandlan of the Elf clan...the personal maid of His Royal Highness the Prince..."

Next, Jeluka’s voice became smaller and smaller, and she glared at me for no reason.

What did I do wrong?

"His Royal Highness the Prince's... personal maid?" Xiao Heitan was so perceptive that he immediately noticed a common word between Jeluka and I.

"Mom is... dad's personal maid?"

"Ahem, that's true in theory." I coughed awkwardly, and said with wandering eyes under Jeluka's sinister gaze.

"It turns out...it turns out that dad and mom...are not real...but I feel...that the relationship between dad and mom...is more like a couple..."

Xiao Hei Tan's words made the two of us blush. We subconsciously wanted to explain, but seeing the happy smile remaining on Xiao Hei's face, we opened and closed our mouths.

No matter...if it can make Xiao Heitan happy.

"Xiao Heitan is right." After thinking about it, I felt that I should sue Jieluka and let my daughter judge for me.

"This guy is obviously a personal maid, but he doesn't abide by his duties at all. Not only does he always call me a stupid prince, but he teases me secretly and openly all day long. Moreover, he is not even qualified as a wife. Think about it. Ah, would a qualified wife let her husband eat Morgan cakes for a day?"

I made a pitiful expression.

"That's because His Highness the Prince is an idiot." Jeluka cast a cold gaze.

"Look, it's here again, Xiao Heitan, you have to give me a review."

"Although he is a prince, he is an idiot, so he needs to be trained."

"You are the only one who needs training, your whole family needs training."

Xiao Heitan looked at this scene, with a heartfelt happy smile overflowing from the corners of her pale mouth. Jeluka and I, who had been paying attention to her every move, felt warm in our hearts.

"By the way, does Xiao Heitan want a name?" I asked suddenly.

"Xiao Heitan... doesn't it sound good?" Xiao Heitan was stunned and looked confused.

"Of course not. It's just that Xiao Heitan is our exclusive name. We don't allow others to call her by random names. It's okay to choose a name."

I proudly raised my chin and declared the exclusive rights to the name Xiao Heitan.

"I...listen to daddy..." After hearing my domineering explanation, Xiao Heitan nodded obediently.

"Okay, let's call it... um woo~~"

Just when this historic moment was about to come, a silent fist broke the seriousness of history and hit my waist and ribs accurately.

You...what are you doing? I glared at Jeluka fiercely.

Jeluka, on the other hand, just looked back with a straight face: If you dare to randomly use those strange names, I will hunt you to the ends of the earth.

ha? Weird name? I?

I swallowed a sip of saliva, let out a disdainful snort, opened my mouth again, and was about to announce the beautiful name I had prepared long ago. Suddenly, I felt a chill, mixed with an inexplicable sense of crisis, and combined the ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. The name that contained the essence of five thousand years was swallowed hard.

It's better to think about it again.

I closed my eyes and thought for a moment, then slowly said three words.

"Lilith."

Glancing at Jeluka, she seemed to find nothing to find fault with and made no objection.

"Lilith...Lilith..."

Xiao Heitan muttered it a few more times, and then nodded seriously: "I remember...from now on...my name...is Lilith...also my parents' Xiao Heitan... …”

"Little Heitan, be good~~" I smiled and touched her head.

In the future, no one except Jeluka and I will know that the name of the undead monarch Lilith, who will be famous in the future, was hastily decided at this time.

"Lilith...Lilith..."

Xiao Heitan kept murmuring this name, as if his wish was fulfilled, with a satisfied look in his eyes, and his voice gradually became weaker.

"Little...little Heitan..."

My and Jeluka's voices were so trembling, Xiao Heitan should have reached her limit, she should have reached her limit long ago. Can we continue to willfully ask her to open her eyes and endure the painful torture to talk to us?

"Little Heitan... Lilith... I... I am an ominous child... I killed my parents with my own hands... Even... even if... I degenerate... into the most terrifying hell... I still can't eliminate my... ...sin...but...I'm...very happy...because...because I met my parents...wuwu~~"

Suddenly, Xiao Heitan's face became violently distorted. He had endured five years of inhuman hardship without saying a word. His thin but strong body began to scream violently because of the pain, and sometimes he hugged his body tightly with coldness. , sweating all over her body from time to time, blood vessels of different thicknesses emerged from her pale skin and spread all over her body, looking terrifying.

"Little Heitan!!"

No matter how painful it is in our hearts, all we can do at this moment is to hold the thin little hand tightly and pray that the pain suffered by Xiao Heitan can be transferred to ourselves.

A strange force suddenly surged from the tightly grasped hands, and Jeluka and I actually opened our hands. Then, Xiao Heitan let out a strong cry of pain, tearing his own body with his hands in pain, no matter what. The bloody scars were all over his body.

"And... ugh... there's one more thing... I haven't done yet..."

Amidst such heartbreaking pain, Xiao Heitan remained very calm. She regarded this pain as a part of atonement.

"Mom and dad... let me see... my true face... I should also... let my parents see..."

After saying this, she rolled her eyes that were so painful that they shed tears, squinted at the setting sun, and murmured: "It's almost... it's time..."

Just when Jeluka and I couldn't turn our heads, she turned around with difficulty, faced us, and then...

Then, the eyes that had been squinting suddenly opened.

In just a moment, we were attracted by the sudden appearance of the pupils.

It exudes a beautiful color like agate, and the most important thing is... layer... layer... layer... from the outside to the inside, from light to dark, there are clear layers of color. This is... triple pupil?

No... maybe not yet. In the deepest layer, the color seems to be getting darker, but it is not as obvious as the outer two layers. The pupils that get deeper as they go deeper will make people unable to help but explore the deepest point of the pupils. , from this point of view, it seems as if it has the ability to inhale and imprison the eyes and soul of the person who sees it bit by bit.

When I first saw such aquatic agate-colored double eyes, to be honest, my first reaction was definitely not beautiful, but weird, or monstrous. But the closer you look, you will see it is like a kaleidoscope of ever-changing water colors. , will gradually attract people's minds and produce a different kind of charm.

No wonder Xiao Heitan keeps squinting his eyes. In addition to fear of the outside world, these pupils are probably the main reason. If ordinary people who don't know the world see such pupils, they might treat Xiao Heitan like a monster.

However, just when Jeluka and I were both surprised by Xiao Heitan's charming double eyes, the change was more than that.

The last ray of light of the setting sun was finally swallowed up by the horizon, and the dusk became darker in vain.

At this moment, those eyes changed. The agate-colored double pupils were replaced by a layer of residual red, which gradually spread. And a strange phenomenon occurred the moment after the sunset completely submerged. It feels as if the huge sunset, after sinking into the horizon, rises from Xiao Heitan's eyes.

In just a moment, the blood color of the setting sun spread to the entire pupil, completely replacing the previous agate-colored double pupils into a pair of bright red rippling with rose blood, like the blood moon of the Dark Continent, but compared with The blood moon is more glamorous and lustrous. The darker the night, the more brilliant and magnificent the blood color radiates from these pupils.

"..."

Jeluka and I were completely stunned by the series of things that happened. We stared motionlessly at those bloody and charming pupils, as if our souls had been sucked into them.

It wasn't until Xiao Heitan suddenly closed his eyes and struggled painfully again that we came back to our senses.

"Look...you see...even if...it's the devil's eyes...it's a little better than me...I...is indeed an ominous child...maybe even pushing my original parents off the cliff... Yes...it's all intentional...it would be nice if people like me...didn't exist in the first place..."

"What are you talking about, idiot!!"

I grabbed my hair feebly and yelled, but at this moment, an inexplicable light flashed through my mind.

The source of negative emotions in Xiao Heitan's heart stems from her guilt for pushing her biological parents off the cliff. If this knot is not opened, she will always be a bird that imprisons herself in a cage of pain and constantly tortures herself. .

Just untie this knot.

The only flash of light that flashed through my mind just now was only seven words - put yourself to death and survive. Perhaps, by doing so, you can retain the last glimmer of hope.

only……

Gritting my teeth, I opened my eyes in vain.

"Little Heitan, does it hurt?"

Seeing that Little Brown Tang's face was pale in pain, his lip was bitten, and his whole face was severely distorted, I made a calm voice as a third party.

Xiao Heitan shook his head, then nodded lightly.

"Does it hurt more than death?" My voice was trembling, but I still held it back.

Still nodded slightly.

"So... do you want to die?"

The next moment, I made an earth-shattering declaration. Looking at Jeluka on the side with her eyes widened and looking at me stupidly, I knew how shocking it was.

Xiao Heitan looked at me blankly, and after a moment: "But... is it possible? Can a person like... really... accept... death so... so easily?"

Seeing a hint of hope in Xiao Heitan's painful eyes, it turned out that even death was a luxury for her who blamed herself and felt guilty.

I wiped my eyes and nodded heavily.

"Yes, of course, but, Xiao Heitan, can you agree to daddy's arbitrary request?"

"Yes." Xiao Heitan naturally nodded in agreement without any consideration.

"So……"

I slowly closed my eyes, and after a moment of inner struggle, I opened them suddenly and spoke word by word.

"Then, please let me...Dad take action and kill you."

Xiao Heitan and Jeluka were sluggish at the same time.

Xiao Heitan was the first to react and understood something. His eyes were filled with fear and he shook his head desperately.

"Don't... don't... absolutely don't... how can you let dad... let dad..."

"That's right, I'm your father, Xiao Heitan!! Isn't it natural for a father to protect his daughter?"

"No! No!! It's not worth it! People like me... are not worthy of dad's sacrifice... enough... it's really enough... dad... please... don't do this!"

Xiao Heitan shook her head desperately. Even in the most painful time, she did not cry, but at this moment, she burst into tears.

"This... it's not up to you, Xiao Heitan, I know you love daddy, but daddy... loves you more than you love daddy. As long as it's for you... the sins you carry will be Let dad take care of it."

"Me...me too, I want it too, two of us together..."

Jeluka's trembling voice came from the side. I glanced at her, and a decisive smile flashed in my eyes.

"Don't...don't..."

Xiao Heitan still struggled and murmured.

"Remember, Xiao Heitan..."

I will continue to struggle and hold her tightly in my arms, whispering in her ear.

"Dad loves you, and mom loves you too. Now, have a good sleep first, dad and mom. When it gets dark, mom and dad will wake you up, and then everything will be over..."

The voice changed, with Yue Lang's faint power of illusion, and I continued to whisper in Xiao Heitan's ear.

"Xiao Heitan, you killed your parents with your own hands. Now, your parents will... kill you with their own hands..."

Xiao Heitan's body suddenly froze.

"good night, see you tomorrow."

The next moment, Jeluka and I intertwined our hands and gently pressed Xiao Heitan’s chest at the same time...

"don't want……"

Xiao Heitan spat out the last words. Until the last moment, she was still struggling, but the expression on her face could not help but bring a sense of peace and relief, and she closed her eyes gently.

The next moment, accompanied by an angry scream full of the anger of a lost dog that lost its footing just before success, a fierce and terrifying black light burst out from Xiao Heitan's body...
