I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

Li Yan couldn't help turning around, looking at the cave that appeared at an unknown time, the voice came from the cave.

The dark cave was filled with candles, and the ground was covered with a foul-smelling black blood. In the darkness, there were still dead corpses similar to those of believers. The screams in the cave made people who heard it Everyone felt chills in their hearts, as if they heard a deep voice from hell.

A few years ago, he and Ned Hogg had heard such a cry of a baby, the fetus that was entrusted by demons and ancient gods to perish and rebirth.

However, in the end, nothing happened. In that battle, the ancient gods, demons, and Ned Hogg all fell in the battle. Only Li Yan, who survived in the end, found the way back in the dark.

He had thought it was over.

Li Yan looked at that cave, and finally, with an extremely complicated mood, he walked into that cave.

In the cave, on a blood-stained floor, the light gradually became clear.

In front of Li Yan's eyes, a woman was lying on the altar. There was no one around her, but something crawled out from between her legs.

One was stained with mother's blood, and after it came out, it continued to grow by itself, and it already looked a few years old. It was a distorted existence, and it knelt at the pool of blood as soon as it was born, covering its face.

As if sensing Li Yan's arrival, the body of the human-shaped object lying on the ground moved, and slowly let go of its hand, turning its head to look at Li Yan.

In an instant, that child of the ancient god became Aoki Haruka's appearance. Through the gap between her fingers covering her face, her beautiful and gloomy eyes also glimpsed the one who later killed and expelled her father. That young man.

He finally understood who Aoki Haruka's father was.

She is the daughter of the ancient god Hadasl who was born by relying on human believers.

——【I am a monster. 】

The scene in front of Li Yan gradually dimmed, turning into a pitch black world.

——【My father was killed by a man and a dragon. 】

[Gulu...]

It was like a little girl's confession echoing in the deep sea, so sad and lonely, but Li Yan felt himself floating in the darkness, hearing the sound of water flowing in his ears, and his body was soaked in the sea water of several degrees below zero, which was bitingly cold.

"It's so cold..."

Li Yan felt this chill for a moment, and also had difficulty breathing and speaking.

——[Mom wants to kill me, why...why...Obviously I have earned a lot of money for my mother, and I obviously like everyone and my mother so much. 】

The little girl held back her sobs and continued to complain.

Li Yan listened quietly.

These voices are very sad accusations.

Gradually, he also heard the bad words of the group of children in the school saying that she was a freak and a weirdo behind her back.

It seems that Haruka Aoki's life in school is not ideal after being hit hard.

All the time, I have been living a life that is disgusted by others, and I am trying to live alone.

Until, there are still some children who are kind.

——[Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao, you are my friend. 】

Such a voice was obviously Yui Akamatsu's.

——[Aoki, don’t you like such a gift? 】

Faintly, Li Yan heard his own voice.

This question seems to be a conversation caused by him sending a gift to Aoki Haruka at the temple fair not long ago.

——[No, I like it very much... Thank you, I like it very much... Someone gave me a gift. 】

This is the heart language with joy and fear of being snatched away.

"..."

Li Yan listened quietly, quietly... feeling Aoki Haruka's loneliness.

That's why she used this method to find her own warmth when she was extremely afraid.

It seems that what Aoki Haruka means is that after feeling the care he gave her for a period of time, he is no longer ready to believe that there is anyone in this world who can understand her.

She is the descendant of the ancient god Hadasr, and soon after she was born, her father was killed by him.

In my memory, under the scarlet moon, there were two slender figures immersed in the anxiety of killing, one was himself, and the other was Nid Hogg wearing a top hat... The two of them participated in the discussion of the old days. A day of madness hunted by the Dominator.

He always thought it was the right way to protect everyone in this way.

but now……

In any case, to a certain extent, he was indeed the one who took away a relative from her...

He and Ned Hogg had actually committed a crime, even if they had to do it, even with perfect justice, but for Aoki Haruka, this crime was unintentionally caused by Li Yan.

He raised his head and looked at the sky.

The light on the water gradually became thinner, as if he was still sinking.

"Sure enough, it's still sinking."

Li Yan looked at the water calmly and thought quietly.

Here, it is not the real deep sea...
