Chapter 54 Congratulations, Huo Manshu
"If I hadn't reacted just now, you would have died."
Qu Lian held Ho Manshu in his arms, his heart beating loudly, and he felt lucky to survive the disaster.
"Didn't you react?"
Huo Manshu stared at Qulian strangely for a second, without any fluctuation in her heart: "And if you die, you will die. Aren't you not afraid of death?"
Qu Lian wanted to deny that this was not the same thing, but looking at Huo Manshu's sincere face, he really couldn't tell.
Huo Manshu didn't want to argue with Qu Lian in the first place. When Qu Lian didn't speak, she turned to look at Bai Keke: "I always thought Niu Niu looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I saw her."< br>
Huo Manshu had met very few people, and almost every face would leave an impression in her mind, but she really had no impression of Niu Niu's face at all.
Until she saw the family photo of Wang Sheng's family.
"The face of Niu Niu in that family photo is 90% similar to yours."
Perhaps because the photo is only flat, it looks more like Bai Coco.
If it were just these, it wouldn't make Huo Manshu doubt Bai Keke.
"Since the first time we came here and saw Niuniu, your mood has been a bit wrong."
Huo Manshu looked at Bai Keke without saying anything and continued: "I guess it's because that's what you experienced when you were a child."
Huo Manshu glanced at the dark environment around her and affirmed: "Niuniu is the embodiment of a scavenging toad when you were a child."
At the beginning, Huo Manshu did only suspect that Niu Niu was a devil, but when her snack was afraid of Wang Sheng, Huo Manshu became a little confused.
Xiaoshi just gave in in front of someone as strong as Qu Lian.
She thinks that Wang Sheng has not reached that point yet.
Then think of the endless frogs croaking in the village pond every time Wang Sheng failed from her.
In fact, the truth is not that difficult to guess.
"Even if you guessed it, how did you know that the scavenger toad would be in the well?"
Bai Keke's expression was surprisingly calm. She seemed to be laughing at herself, "I thought that place was the least likely to be suspected."
"I really didn't guess it at the beginning."
Huo Manshu seemed to be chatting with Bai Keke: "But I noticed that Niu Niu would always go to the well and talk to herself. She would complain to the well about things at home and things in the village."
Huo Manshu looked at Bai Keke: "I guess that well has a special meaning to her."
"As for the special meaning, I think only you know."
Bai Keke smiled bitterly, "Huo Manshu, you are so annoying. How can you know everything?"
Bai Keke said softly: "That's why I wanted to let you die from the beginning."
It was obvious that Huo Manshu was just a loser, but Bai Keke always felt uneasy when facing her.
That uneasiness forced her to want Huo Manshu to die quickly.
But I didn't expect it to be self-defeating.
Homanshu survived with great luck.
Huo Manshu just listened to Bai Keke's story as if she was listening to a story about how she wanted to kill her at that time.
"Actually, the real devil is you."
Huo Manshu looked at Bai Keke quietly: "Did you kill everyone in Xiaoshu Village?"
The carrion-eating toad embodies the human heart, Huo Manshu could only think this way, because all of Xiaoshu Village appeared as the embodiment of Bai Keke's fear.
"I do think so." Listening to Huo Manshu's words, Bai Keke suddenly choked up: "It would have been better if I had done that."
Bai Keke's family are all outsiders who settled in Xiaoshu Village by chance.
Bai Keke's father is just like Wang Sheng, a gambler who gambles all day long.
Bai Keke's mother is a weak person who can't control anything. After quarreling every day, she sheds tears and tells her daughter about the injustice of fate.
Bai Keke never felt the warmth of family at a young age, because her family was either quarreling or on the road to quarreling.
Bai Keke also cried and made trouble. Her father also promised her that he would never gamble again, but those were all empty words.
Her father's promise was like farting, and she regretted it after letting it go.
As soon as the gambler in the village found him, he secretly used the family's money to gamble.
Bai Keke really cried too much every day because of such things.
The gossips in the village also like to talk nonsense when they get together, treating their family's affairs as a leisurely chat after dinner.
Sometimes, Bai Keke wonders why his father is so unambitious?
Is it so difficult to quit gambling?
His father had been complaining to her, saying that his mother always restrained him and he felt depressed.
But Bai Keke felt even more depressed. She wondered why her father could be so ignorant.
His mother restrained him because she didn't want him to gamble with the family's money, but he regarded it as a constraint and always wanted to rebel.
Bai Keke also complained about her mother. Why couldn't her mother be tougher and say that divorce was so difficult?
Bai Keke always felt that she was living in hell.
The well in the yard was the one she could talk to.
She told her grievances to the well, cursing those women with long tongues and those who made her father gamble.
She had thought more than once that it would be nice if Little Tree Village did not exist, but this was just her fantasy.
In her heart, the people in Xiaoshu Village, including her parents, are all devils.
The only real person alive in this village is Niu Niu.
Originally, Bai Ke could think that her soul was clean, but in such an environment, she was already full of filth.
So when she was in wizard college, she was easily bewitched by demons.
She really felt a strong unwillingness in her heart. She had been living in hell for so many years, why could other people live so freely?
"Huo Manshu, I will die after this graduation exam."
Bai Keke smiled, but her face was full of tears: "You may have been wondering why I am alive. I tell you it is because the agreement I made with the devil was to see everyone in Xiaoshu Village suffer retribution."
"The examination room for this graduation examination is my wish."
Bai Keke tried hard to laugh, but couldn't: "It would be great if it were true."
"Huo Manshu, I really envy you, your soul is so clean."
"If there is a next life, I really hope to live like you."
Bai Keke looked at Mu Qing, who was unconscious not far away, and then turned to look at Huo Manshu: "Mu Qing is my best friend. Please help me take care of her."
"I'm tired of this kind of life. Congratulations, Huo Manshu, for being able to become a qualified witch."
