Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

The monster stared at her, its lips moved slightly, and it made a weird and unpleasant grunting sound.

Not the human voice, nor the vocal organs possessed by the human body.

Everything is just skin - human skin that can confuse people's eyes, beautiful and clean human skin.

【name? 】

He seemed to be making a statement, but also seemed to be gently questioning.

For most monsters, the name is a novel word that they have never heard before.

Yun Si thought for a while and explained to him: "It's a code name, a title, just...if I want to find you, what should I call you, so that you will agree."

【If you think of me, I will appear. 】

the monster said calmly.

【As long as you think about me, I will know. 】

Yun Si was stunned, "How could you know that I -"

Thinking of something, she added, "Then, suppose one day, you are no longer with me and go to a place far, far away——"

【I will know. 】

The monster said: [No matter how far away, even in the middle - there is a universe. 】

What can break the distance has always been human senses, not his.

He would know, if only - she was missing.

Yun Si was silent for a moment, "That's it..."

"So, you don't have a name, do you?"

The monster didn't answer.

No answer is considered acquiescence.

Yun Si looked up at him and asked: "Then, where did you come from? In the future...will you leave?"

She had wanted to ask him this question for a long time, but because the two of them were not very close before, she never asked him.

Now she could finally ask. After asking, she waited quietly for his answer.

The monster's gray and withered eyes moved, and the hand that was being held lifted up and landed on her face.

Touching, the palms are cold.

【I am from...】

His words suddenly stopped.

Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at the window with a pair of hollow, inlaid eyes without any emotion.

It was dark outside the window, there was no light, and nothing could be seen clearly.

It was quiet at the moment, without a sound.

The monster was motionless, and there was faint mucus oozing out from the pale human skin on its hands.

The eyes looking out the window are cold and cold.

Like a giant and powerful emperor snake with absolute crushing power, it uses invisible oppression to frighten the weak and ungrateful insect monsters that come towards it.

Yun Si, who was waiting for his answer, followed his gaze and looked over.

As a result, he pushed her into his arms, and her face was forced to be buried in his soft and dry human skin.

Yun Si: "How-"

[Don’t open the windows tonight, and don’t go out again. 】

His hand slowly came down and rubbed her ears, his tone calm.

After saying this, the place where Yun Si leaned was empty——

He disappeared, and his cold and forbidding aura disappeared with him.

The darkness that had invaded the light and everything around him now receded like the tide.

Retreat to the darkness, to a place where the light cannot shine, and remain still, dormant like a poisonous snake hidden under a dead leaf.

Motionless, lifeless.

Yun Si stood up and looked around.

The accident happened so suddenly that she didn't even know what happened.

Walking to the window, she leaned against the glass and looked out——

Everything is business as usual, nothing out of the ordinary.

The street lights downstairs were on, illuminating a row of battery cars next to the building. On the empty road, people who had just gotten off work walked by in a hurry.

Everything looked the same as usual. (End of chapter)
