Bang!

One man and one demon just slapped in the dark basement.

"You must be bored if you stay here all the time, right?" Lu Huaiqiu said.

Shadow's eye sockets twisted into a "miss" shape, and then shook his head hesitantly...

Then he stopped quickly.

Then he nodded very hard...

"Yeah, I get it."

Lu Huaiqiu strode to the basement door and opened it.

The light outside the door flowed in, illuminating the dark and dull basement slightly.

"Let's go." Lu Huaiqiu said, "I'll take you out for fun."

Hearing this, Shadow's eyes suddenly widened.

It seemed to hesitate for another second or two, and then slowly floated towards Lu Huaiqiu.

"Come on." Lu Huaiqiu stood outside the door and waved to the shadow, "Brother, let's see what the outside world is."

After hearing this, Shadow's steps seemed to become lighter, and the speed of floating increased instantly.

But just the moment it emerged out of the door.

Honey!

It was like a sudden electric shock, Shadow's entire body suddenly burst out and instantly bounced back into the room.

Even Lu Huaiqiu was almost shocked by its reaction.

"What's wrong?" Lu Huaiqiu asked, "Don't you like outside?"

Shadow looked at Lu Huaiqiu, then looked down at its toes that did not exist.

Then, like a rattle, shook his head and his head.

It seemed a little aggrieved, but a little helplessly lowered its head.

Lu Huaiqiu also lowered his head and looked at his toes.

——The place he stepped on was a piece of land occupied by light.

"Are you afraid of light?"

Lu Huaiqiu looked at the shadow again and asked.

After all, this is not surprising.

There are indeed a large number of ghosts who are afraid of lighting the environment.

For example, the dark souls who like darkness by nature, and the jealous spirits who cannot bear the light.

Not to mention ghosts like Shadow, who have been staying in the basement for more than ten years.

In such a long time, the night was like wind, cold and moisture, along the skin and meridians, imprinted into its blood layer by layer.

Lu Huaiqiu stared at the shadow's two deep and terrifying eyes and gradually fell into deep thought.

[Lu Xun once really said that.]

[He said that human joys and sorrows are not the same.]

【Not mention humans and demons.】

[So, no matter how seriously the head of the Lu family stared at the Gou Yan Gui, it was difficult to truly understand its ink-like lament.]

[What's even more regrettable is that the Gou Yan Gui can't even see the appearance of the head of the Lu family.]

[In its vague vision, the head of the Lu family is just a vague afterimage...]

【Yes.】

【It also has eyes.】

[It's a pity that the endless night has long deprived it of its right to burst into tears.]

【…】

Lu Huaiqiu stood outside the door and stared at the shadow for a long time.

It just floated behind the door quietly.

The light flowed into its two cute eye sockets, as if it had entered a black hole, gradually annihilated.

"He must be very sad, right?"

Lu Huaiqiu said softly.

"No."

A slightly vicissitudes but particularly gentle voice rang in Lu Huaiqiu's ears.

Uncle Deng came here at some point.

He stood silently one or two steps behind Lu Huaiqiu, and had been waiting for a long time.

"It should be very happy." Uncle Deng said.

"Happy?" Lu Huaiqiu frowned slightly, "I can't tell."

"Yes, it's very happy." Uncle Deng chuckled, "After all, it has finally fulfilled its mission."

"mission?"

"Yes." Uncle Deng nodded slightly, "It has been protecting [Star Cut] until the arrival of [Star]."

“Why does it do this?”

"This is the master's instructions."

Uncle Deng said, "Actually, before the master left, he just mentioned it casually."

"But this little guy took it seriously."

"Since then, it has been guarding this basement, not going anywhere, and is very stubborn."

"It's just like spring goes and winter comes, changing day and night..."

“It can never be separated from here again.”

Uncle Deng sighed:

"Unlike monsters, the lifespan of ghosts is not actually very long."

"In theory, Shadow's life has already reached its end."

"I don't know what this stubborn little guy relies on and has been supporting it until now."

"After..."

"By staying in dark environments for a long time, its body loses its ability to adapt to light."

"At the same time, because of the invisible light, its eyes gradually degenerate and disappear over the years."

Lu Huaiqiu was silent.

He raised his head and looked at Shadow's empty eyes again.

At this time, he suddenly realized it.

Indeed, the shadow couldn't see him clearly.

It can’t even see the road, how can it see people clearly?

From the time he met Shadow to the end of defeating Shadow.

From beginning to end, this stubborn little demon kept guarding the door without moving at all.

Lu Huaiqiu always thought that the reason why it did not move was because it was not necessary at all.

After all, its eighteen-meter-long hook and sickle chain can reach every corner of the room.

He didn't understand until now.

The shadow remains unmoved, not because it is unnecessary.

——But because he was afraid that he would never find the door again.

Over the long years, it has been standing in front of this door.

It's like an immortal monument.

...

"Brother~"

A tender but weird voice of a resentful spirit floated out again.

Lu Huaiqiu suddenly came back to his senses.
