  Chapter 53 What Lucia is interested inThe   toad ghost moves very slowly, although it is on all fours, but But it is not as coordinated as the wild beast, causing his naked eye to be visible slow.

However, although his speed is very slow, the speed at which he shakes the tongue in his mouth is surprisingly fast, so fast that, in the eyes of ordinary people, he can almost only see a black shadow like a whip, and then he will Was swallowed and swallowed without feeling.

Lucia is not an ordinary person after all, and his reaction speed is much faster than ordinary people.

At the moment the tongue swept towards him, he had already avoided sideways. At the same time, he also drew the sword from his waist at a dazzling speed. Slashing with the scorching heat of flames, the bottom-up head wind slashed out, and slashed the tongue of the toad ghost.

"Sneer—"

With a burning sound, a piece of scarlet's tongue fell from the air to the ground.

"Oh!"

The toad ghost uttered a short scream, then immediately rolled back its tongue, lifted its forelimbs, closed its mouth, and stared round eyes. Even Dou Da's tears overflowed in it.

"wū wū wū wū Woo, it hurts! It hurts! The bad guy! Bullying!"

Lucia's eyes seemed to be looking at some wicked wicked person, and her mouth was vaguely accusing Lucia's evil deeds.

"Sure enough, I am mentally retarded... Maybe I was a fool before I became a ghost."

Lucia sighed.

He wanted to ask the ghost about the whereabouts of the ghost manipulating the dream from this ghost, and it immediately fell through.

Lucia raised the knife in her hand, the breathing rhythm in her mouth became extremely hot, and her eyes fell on the neck of the toad ghost in front of her.

His strength is more than several times stronger than when he used to deal with hand ghosts. Now facing such an opponent, he should be able to kill easily and happily.

"Please don't kill him!"

However, at the moment Lucia just planned to attack the toad ghost, Murakami's anxious voice came from behind.

"He is my younger brother!"

What?   This ghost?   Is his younger brother?   Lucia's gaze showed a very obvious surprise, and the knife he planned to swing also stopped in midair.

It was not because of the poor encounter with the brother. He never had that kind of feeling in his heart. The reason why he stopped attacking was just simply thinking that this matter seemed to become interesting.

There are not many things that make Lucia feel interesting.

But this pair of brothers is obviously an exception.

When Murakami saw Lucia stopped the knife in his hand, the heart that had mentioned the throat was immediately put back, and there was obvious joy on his face.

On the other side, after the tongue was cut off, the toad ghost turned around regardless, even the back and neck were directly exposed to Lucia, and he didn't respond, and jumped like a toad. Left here.

Although he walks slowly, he jumps a long distance and disappears from Lucia's eyes in a short while.

"Do you want to protect him?"

Lucia didn't care about the escaped toad ghost. Anyway, his first ascension mission has been completed. Look at this toad ghost so weak. , And he was not like a member of Twelve Ghost Moon, it didn't matter to him whether he could kill or not.

He turned and looked towards Murakami who walked out of the door, his eyes flickered slightly, and a rare desire to understand his inner feelings rose in his heart.

"Yes...Yes."

Murakami looked at Lucia. Although he was too nervous, he still stubbornly made a speech, "I want to protect my Younger brother."

"Looking at him, he should have eaten a lot of people."

Although Lucia used interrogative sentences, the tone in her mouth was very positive. To be able to grow into such an alien ghost, no less than ten lives must be contaminated on his hands, only more, and less impossible.

"..."

Murakami opened his mouth, unable to refute it for a while.

This is a fact, he can't refute it, he has just been taught by Lucia, and he dare not lie to Lucia.

"Who are you eating?" Lucia continued to ask.

"...Some people in the village resisted that man, and some passersby."

Murakami lowered his head, as if even he himself felt guilty.

"In other words, in your eyes, your younger brother's life is far more valuable than other people's lives."

Lucia did not understand his thoughts at all, but instead The problem he had been evading bloody opened, "As long as the younger brother can survive, it doesn't matter how many unrelated people die?"

"That kind of thing..."

Murakami wanted to rebut subconsciously, but as soon as he spoke, he fell silent again.

He had never thought about this issue in his mind. He subconsciously believed that human life is precious. The moment Lucia revealed this issue, he wanted to refute it.

But unfortunately, judging from his past experience of indulging the younger brother's cannibalism, he has no confidence to say such a thing.

"Of the two ghost killing team members who came here, one of the dead was also eaten by him?"

Lucia looked at his contradictory performance. In the eyes, he didn't stop at the thought that he shouldn't indulge the younger brother, but continued to ask questions with interest.

"...Yes."

Murakami lowered his head, his hands on his side clenched his fists, his heart was also filled with guilt and tortured, "Yes I used chopsticks to make him fall asleep... and my younger brother ate him."

Not everyone in this world has Lucia's insight, and not everyone can ignore him like him. Any kind of favor, kindness, daring to throw all doubts on the table.

As long as he relaxes his guard a little, Murakami is completely likely to be recruited by members of the ghost killing team.

"Where is that left?" Lucia asked again.

"...I took refuge in that man."

Murakami replied in a low voice, "Because he likes the life in his dream, he has taken refuge in that man... the one who died before He said that he didn't want to take refuge in that man at all, so I was eaten by my younger brother."

He died with a spine.

Those who didn't have the backbone survived.

Lucia knows that there is no trace of regret and sympathy for the dead team members, nor a bit of anger and hatred for the team members who take refuge in the evil spirits.

Most of the things in this world are just framed magnificently on the surface, and they seem to be full of truth, goodness and beauty, but in fact, under that beautiful appearance is always full of all kinds of ugliness and sins. And unhappy.

The spine of people die, the innocent people commit crimes and launch a war of aggression in the name of righteousness... People who think this World is beautiful, everyone needs to experience the ugliness hidden under the beautiful surface. .

Lucia never expects this World. Basically, his concept is'it has nothing to do with me'. He never pays attention to it or entangles, just accepts everything unreasonable and treats it as as it should be by rights only.

However, even for Lucia like this, there are still interesting things.

——That is, extremely hot feelings.
