The arrow trailed a blue rainbow of light, and with Ge Fei's murderous drink, he charged away again.
But there was a look of confusion on Gu Yuan's face. He looked at the arrow. It didn't go directly towards the red bird, but shot along a straight line, one inch higher.
Gu Xiaolei couldn't understand this. He only knew that Hongque was in danger at this time.
What Gu Yuan didn't expect was that the arrow, which was clearly an inch higher, happened to penetrate the red bird's wings. This was an extremely strange scene. From his perspective, it looked more like the red bird flapping its wings and hitting it. On the arrow trailing the blue rainbow light.
He couldn't understand or think about it. It wasn't poker. There was a saying that surrendering would result in half the loss.
"Bang" sound.
The red bird fell to the ground again and turned into a red bird again. However, a dark wound appeared on his shoulder, and crimson blood spurted out.
"Cardinal!"
Gu Xiaolei's face turned pale, he yelled, and was about to rush over.
But Cardinal raised his good arm and blocked it in front of him.
"do not come……"
As he spoke, a wave of air swept over him, like a stormy sea crashing on the shore, forcefully blocking Gu Xiaolei back.
Ge Fei remained silent, holding a long bow and walking towards Cardinal.
"Wait..." Gu Yuan looked at Gu Xiaolei who was crying, feeling a little uncomfortable, and said these two words by accident.
Ge Fei looked at him.
Even though Gu Yuan didn't say anything, Ge Fei seemed to already know what he wanted to say. He put a hand into his pocket, took out his phone, unlocked it, clicked it twice, and put it in front of Gu Yuan.
On the mobile phone, there is a photo taken. The light is also dim, and it can barely be seen clearly.
A man of moderate stature, but his age could not be discerned, his body was hanging on the security window, his head was stuck in the gap of the security window, but there was a rope tied to his feet, and the other end of the rope was a big stone.
This was the first time for Gu Yuan to see such a death scene.
"This...is this?" His heart was beating fast and his face was a little pale.
Ge Fei put away her phone and looked at Hongque lying on the ground, her voice cold.
"She killed another one."
Gu Yuan looked at Gu Xiaolei and then at Hongque. His throat seemed to be stuck by something and he didn't know what to say.
Gu Xiaolei's face was covered with tears.
He held Gu Yuan's arm tightly, his voice trembling.
"Brother, please save her...save Hongque..."
Gu Yuan didn't want to see his brother sad.
But now, two people have died in Hongque's hands, not to mention that the other party is a monster.
Not to mention that Gu Yuan didn't have the ability to save Hongque from the Demon Suppression Division. Even if he did, he had no reason to do so.
Ge Fei stopped talking and walked towards Hongque. Gu Xiaolei still wanted to struggle, but was pinned down by Gu Yuan.
"She killed someone." Gu Yuan said, "If you feel sorry for her, who will feel sorry for Aunt Sun or Uncle Zhao?"
Gu Xiaolei's body froze.
He looked at Cardinal in confusion, and for a moment, he didn't know whether he should insist on anything.
Ge Fei slowly walked up to Cardinal.
Cardinal raised his head, his face was pale but his eyes were calm.
"prophet?"
"Department of Demon Suppression, the human prophet Ge Fei will first arrest the Demon Cardinal. If there is resistance, he will be killed on the spot." The cold words were not mixed with any emotion. At this time, Ge Fei made people feel solemn and solemn.
Hongque's gaze passed over Ge Fei, and she forced a laugh when she looked at Gu Xiaolei, whose face was covered in tears.
Sudden.
Her body once again bloomed with red light, like sunset on the horizon, instantly covering the narrow alley. Thick red mist rose and visibility quickly decreased.
Ge Fei immediately raised the long bow in his hand, but then, as if he realized something, he slowly put it down again, with a meaningful look on his face.
In the red mist, wisps of red light flowed. The light slowly condensed, and a picture appeared, half hidden, which reminded Gu Yuan of a "mirage".
At this moment, Ge Fei's voice came from the front, soothing Gu Yuan's nervous heart.
"Don't worry, this is a monster's unique ability, empathy."
"Empathy?"
Ge Fei didn't explain much.
The crimson light curtain was flowing with familiar scenes. Gu Yuan frowned slightly, then gradually relaxed it.
"This is our neighborhood," he said.
The scene slowly zoomed in. A chubby child held a slingshot in his hand and shot a stone at a leafy tree. The leaves rustled, and a red-feathered bird fell from the crown of the tree, feeling pain. It flapped its wings desperately, trying to return to the tree canopy that could give it a sense of security, but at this moment, a hand had already grabbed it.
He was a dark-skinned and skinny kid, about the same age as the fat boy playing slingshot. He was probably around 12 or 13 years old. He was wearing a blue and white striped T-shirt and a pair of plastic sandals.
"It's Zhao Miao, and Xu Can!" Gu Xiaolei said in surprise.
No need for Gu Xiaolei to tell, Gu Yuan also saw it.
Although these two boys have grown up and their appearance has changed, they are from the same community after all. It can be said that they grew up together. Gu Yuan is a few years older than them, so he can recognize them at a glance.
"Is this empathy... something that happened in the past?" Gu Yuan thought to himself.
The chubby Zhao Miao and the skinny Xu Can were classmates and playmates. The two had been flirting since childhood, and Gu Yuan didn't have a good impression of them.
Xu Can's skinny and dark hands grasped the two legs of the red bird. The red bird's wings kept flapping, trying to break free, but at this time, the red bird was really like an ordinary bird, and could not even Breaking free from a child's grasp.
"Zhao Sanshui! Give me the rope quickly!" Xu Can said in a loud voice.
"I'm coming!"
Zhao Miao took out a rope from his pocket and handed it to Xu Can. After Xu Can took the rope, he entangled Hongque's legs together. His eyes looked around, as if searching for something. He quickly found his goal, ran two steps quickly, and picked up a stone from the ground.
After tying the stone with a rope, he let go and watched the cardinal dragging the rope but unable to fly. The stone dragged a trace on the ground, and its flapping wings picked up fine dust. It struggled to drag the stone. After more than ten meters away, it let out a shrill wail, but it could not awaken the "childlike innocence" of the two children.
Xu Can and Zhao Miao ran behind, clapping their hands and cheering, laughing with a disregard for life. Zhao Miao suddenly shouted.
"There's something more fun!"
He took out a plastic lighter from his pocket and burned the cardinal's feathers. The bird's song became shriller and they became happier.
Such a picture.
Is it scary?
Not scary.
The really scary thing is.
Gu Yuan suddenly discovered.
Most boys did similar things when they were young.
Water the ant nest with boiling water, throw the kittens and puppies out, tie stones to the legs of the birds, smash the snails from the stones, burn a certain beetle to death, break into the orchard to steal the fruit, and look at the old man The old man chased after him, feeling very proud of himself...
When I grow up, even if I think of these things, I mostly laugh and say "youth and ignorance."
That's it.
Gu Yuan finally matched the death methods of Zhao Miao and Xu Can.
His heart felt cold.
because.
He was horrified to find that even if he witnessed such a scene with his own eyes, he would not think that such a naughty child was so evil.
But for the cardinals.
this……
unfair!
Why……
I just treat you the way you treat me.
Should I die?
Maybe that's what Cardinal thought.
The most terrifying thing in the world is the human heart.
