The night was getting darker, and the fire was slowly getting smaller with people's rescue efforts, but the guards at the inspection office were becoming more and more uneasy.
While I was on duty, someone sneaked into the city happened, and it was very likely that they were related to the demon incident a week ago. If the captain knew about this, the consequences would be very serious.
"Damn, I should have been more cautious just now..."
The guard sighed, looked around, and found that the little Naiya who liked to wear red clothes was no longer there, and he didn't know when he left.
He was a little worried. Although little Naiya was a little naughty, she was very lovable. She often came here to tell them fairy tales, but the one she told them today was a bit scary.
After recalling the fairy tale in his mind, the guard suddenly felt cold all over his body, and the hairs on his back stood up.
"What do you seem to be afraid of?"
An emotionless but somewhat magnetic voice sounded in his ears, startling him to death, and he quickly turned around to be on guard.
"Ms. Cecia, why are you here?"
"I heard that Angdu guy is back and asked me to come here to help. So, where is he now?"
The lady named Cecia looked around. She had dark purple curly hair and bright purple eyes. She was not wearing the robe of the Church of Destiny, but casual casual clothes. She looked quiet and elegant.
If you exclude the faint smell of alcohol on your body.
"Well," the guard thought, "Mr. Ondu has left. He should have gone to the city to find relevant clues..."
There was a snap.
The glass bottle was smashed to pieces on the ground. The guard secretly glanced at the silent Cecia, feeling like the calm before the storm.
"Tell him the direction to leave later. Come on," Cecia put on a smiling face again and pulled the guard aside. "Now tell me, what happened here?"
??????
Su Ge slowly opened his eyes and saw the extremely high ceiling.
"Where is this..."
Severe headaches came in waves, as if long nails were being driven into his head. Su Ge felt that he had been unconscious more and more recently, which was not a good thing.
There was a noise from the house on one side. He turned his head and looked over, and saw the little girl he had seen at the city gate wearing an apron, half of her body hidden behind the door, looking at him.
He was stunned for a moment, then heard Naia smile and say: "Brother, you are so weak, even I can drag you."
"You saved me?"
Su Ge turned over and sat up, looking around.
The soft and comfortable fabric sofa under you, the light and warm silk velvet quilt, and other high-end furniture all indicate that this is a family with excellent living conditions.
Su Ge sniffed and smelled the fragrant smell of wheat coming from the kitchen, "Is this your home?"
"Yes."
Su Ge looked at Naiya's small figure and couldn't figure out the situation for a while.
At the end of my memory, I should be on a deserted street, and then I fainted due to exhaustion and lack of food.
I guess those guards should be looking for me everywhere now... Su Ge quickly sorted out the information and asked:
"How long have I been asleep?"
Naia pointed to the brown wooden wall clock standing in the corner, with the hour hand pointing to eleven.
As if seeing through Su Ge's mind, Naiya said with a smile: "Don't worry, big brother, this is Golden Gallon Street in the upper block, far away from the south gate. It should be safe at least before tomorrow, eh? Cream of Mushroom Soup
You should be fine. Come and eat. If you eat well, your body will grow up healthily."
It was a bit funny for Su Ge to hear this child pretending to be mature but saying childish words. However, after filling his stomach with a bowl of pea soup, his hunger was almost uncontrollable, so he followed Naiya to the kitchen.
Move your hands over freshly baked whole wheat bread and fragrant cream of mushroom soup.
"Where are your parents? Aren't they angry if you bring strangers home at will?" Su Ge asked while drinking soup.
"They went out, and now I'm the only one at home." Naiya looked at Su Ge who was devouring the food, and showed a satisfied smile.
After swallowing the last mouthful of mushroom soup, Su Ge burped lightly and felt the warmth in his stomach slowly spread to every corner of his body, slowly repairing his thirsty body.

"Thank you for these things," Su Ge wiped his mouth, "but I still have a few questions. Why did you save me?"
Su Ge stared at Naiya and began to think seriously.
According to the situation when he was surrounded by guards, most people would subconsciously think that he was a dangerous person when they saw him. Even if he found himself, he should have handed it over to the police as soon as possible, but the other party did not do so. Not only that, he also took him home.
, and took good care of it.
Is there any purpose? And how did she get me back? Such a small body, less than my waist height, and most importantly...
What's that story about?
Thinking of this, Su Ge suddenly felt an inexplicable panic in his heart. His intuition told him that the little girl opposite was not as simple as she seemed.
He stared at Naia and saw the little girl holding her chin with her left hand, tilting her head to look at him, with a mysterious smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.
Time seemed to have frozen, and he didn’t know how long it had passed. He suddenly heard Naia laugh and say to himself in a sweet voice:
"The devil said he wants to keep you alive, hee hee."
??????
The guard looked at Cecilia, whose expression had become solemn again. He did not dare to make a sound, and even controlled his breathing carefully, for fear of disturbing the other party, otherwise he would end up like the glass bottle.
"So, there are two problems now. One is the young man who hides his identity, named Suge Aiosig, and the other is the explosion in the city. And these two things may be related to each other, and the demon incident a week ago
?”
"Yes."
"Where's the evidence?"
"This, no, it's just that a little girl came here and told me a story, and the content was highly consistent with what really happened, which gave me a creepy feeling. Because that story was about a demon
Related, so I subconsciously thought that these two things were also related to the devil."
After the guard told him, he felt a little incredible. If he reported it to his superiors like this, he would probably be dismissed from his post.
Unexpectedly, Cecia nodded, "I know, I will use it as a reference. Have you ever learned to draw?"
"No." The guard replied subconsciously.
Cecia hummed and said nothing.
This made the guard confused, and asked tentatively: "Don't you think I might have some mental problem?"
Cecia took out some bottles and jars by herself, and was busy with her own business without raising her head. She replied: "No, the basis of mysticism is to see the reality through appearances. This kind of excessive coincidence is
The teachings of destiny are part of the clue. Okay, you stand here, then relax and do as I say."
Seeing that Cecilia didn't care, the guard stood over doubtfully. Cecilia then tied a string to each limb and ordered some fragrant liquid.
Cecia took out the paper, put a pen into the guard's hand, and said, "You don't need to be nervous. Think about the person named Sugar in your mind for a while. The more detailed the better."
As she spoke, she walked behind the guard, crossed her hands in front of her chest, and prayed in a low voice, "The red drifting ice, the blue square corners, point to the wheel of fate, give us guidance."
The mysterious ritual made the guard's eyes light up. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt like his limbs were being lifted up by something on a string.
"Try to remember." Cecia's voice came over.
The guard quickly calmed down and did as Cecia said.
What surprised him was that as he thought about it, his hands began to move on their own, quickly and accurately depicting Sugar's appearance on the paper like a painter who had studied sketching for many years.
After the ceremony, Cecia stretched her neck and glanced, "How is it, does it look like?"
"Exactly the same." The guard was simply amazed, "Is this the mysterious power?"
"To be precise, it is the power of fate. Now I am already a 'puppet man'."
Cecia stared at the portrait, as if she wanted to remember Sugar's appearance, "Take this back to the police station and ask the person in charge of the portrait to draw more and post it, just like you have always done."
"Understood," the guard saluted solemnly, and then asked, "What about you?"
Cecia looked at the already quiet York City, smiled and murmured: "Of course I'm going to find that bastard Ondu."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
There was an icy silence in the room.
Su Ge looked across the table at the angelic Naiya opposite, and his whole body trembled slightly.
Naia suddenly laughed, "Brother, you are so funny. What's your reaction? It's so funny."
"How come there are demons? That's just a story. Didn't you hear stories when you were a child? I always pestered my father when I was a child, so I know a lot of stories."
Su Ge did not answer her and began to think carefully.
He found that everything was too similar. If he didn't understand what happened and knew that everything was just a coincidence and not as described in the story, otherwise he would have the illusion of being arranged by fate.
And the little girl in front of her looks innocent, but there is always something weird about her, and her words are even more frightening.
"Brother, is your name really Su Ge? Su Ge? Iosig, is it the same name as the person in that story?"
"Just take it as such."
"Then have you seen the devil?"
"Didn't you say that it was just a fairy tale?" Su Ge looked at the time and said in his heart that he could no longer stay with this little girl. "Well, thank you very much. I have something else to do and I have to leave."
Su Ge originally thought that Naiya had done so much and must have some purpose and would not let him go easily. Who knew that the little girl actually jumped down from the chair, walked straight to the side door, and waved Su Ge over with her hand.
"Let's go from here. At least you won't be seen directly on the street."
Su Ge found that he really couldn't figure out what was going on in this little girl's mind. He observed it at the door and turned around and said, "Thank you very much. No, I'd better not see you again."
"See you soon," Naiya smiled, "My home is right here, No. 7, Golden Gallon Street. If you encounter trouble that you can't solve, or any other problems, you can come to me at any time."
Su Ge blinked, said nothing, and left. He walked out for more than ten meters. When he looked back, he found that she was still there with an unchanging smile on her face. It was a bit scary to see her at night like this.
So he hurriedly took a few steps and disappeared into the night.

Two streets away from Lilac Street, York City Central Hospital.
A nurse was at the door trying to say something to a man in leather clothes, her expression full of guilt.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Pandley Luther. Today, there are more than a dozen injured people due to the explosion in the lower block. And your injury is almost healed. I can only ask you to be discharged from the hospital early. Well, the dean said
, we will waive your three-day hospitalization expenses to express our apology."
A man named Pendry Luther looked depressed, "Am I possessed by bad luck? First I encountered a carriage overturning when I went out, and then my leg was almost broken when I was stepped on by a horse. I was even kicked out when I came to the hospital."
"Well, maybe you can go to Leinu Church and pray. The goddess will bless you when she hears your prayer." The nurse reluctantly comforted.
Pandley sighed and ran his hands over his body, but found that there was not even a penny, so he cried sadly and said, "Please tell me that there is at least one penny in the money to pay me."
"There should be some. Added up to three days, there should be a few pounds."
"Great, then give it to me quickly." Pandley looked excited. He had been unlucky one after another this week and finally encountered something lucky.
"It's too late today. Mr. Ott from the finance department won't be able to give it to you until tomorrow." The nurse apologized and was called back to help.
Pandley stood in the cold wind of the dark night for two minutes and walked home dejectedly.
Suddenly a black shadow came with the wind and slapped his face with a snap.
Pandely, who felt like he had been slapped, suppressed his anger and took off the thing on his face. He found that the hand felt unusually soft, "Is this a piece of parchment? It's rare. You should be able to sell it for a good price in the old street."
He then turned it over to see what was depicted on it, and what he saw was two circling goat horns, and below was a skull with dark hollows in the eye sockets, and the cracked corners of the mouth seemed to be laughing at something.
An evil and terrifying aura rushed to my face, as if the things on the parchment would come to life at any time.
"Is this a devil? What child's graffiti destroyed the entire parchment? Sure enough, I am still very unlucky."
Pendry threw the parchment into the wind, turned around and walked towards home.
