A merchant caravan rented a guesthouse exclusively, and Yunyi followed Wolfman.
He Chun experienced the benefits of being a cat, changing from crouching on Yunyi's shoulder to lying in Yunyi's arms, enjoying the feeling as Yunyi stroked his fur, causing his eyes to squint in comfort.
Yunyi: "My name is Yunyi, what's your name?"
Yunyi took the initiative to introduce himself, but he still didn't mean to take off the mask to meet. However, he did mention his name: "Qi Shen, the depth of the abyss." Explaining his name as the abyss, Yunyi heard it for the first time, sounding somewhat like a warning.
Qi Shen: "What are you doing in the capital? Don't take the wrong path."
This person has been smiling all the time, dressed strangely but still approachable. However, Yunyi felt something off in his tone as he spoke at this moment, unable to pinpoint what was wrong, just feeling that he was implying something, which made her uncomfortable.
Yunyi didn't want to chat with him deeply, so she replied indifferently, "Yes, it's good to meet you and travel together, and maybe earn some money for the journey."
There were about a dozen people scattered in the lobby of the inn. As soon as Yunyi stepped over the threshold, they all turned their heads in unison, each pair of eyes looking particularly dark and heavy.
He Chun, who had been nestled in Yunyi's arms, saw the person in the room jump to the ground and stand in front of Yunyi, arching their back in a state of high alert. Qi Shen stood behind Yunyi and said, "Are you both hungry? I'll go cook. Yunyi, you can rest in the innermost guest room on the second floor. No one is there."
Blocked from both ends, Yunyi found herself in a dilemma. In the end, she quickly picked up He Chun and went upstairs.
He Chun: "They have the stench of death on them, just like you did that day."
Back then, they were so lively and focused on their performance that Yunyi hadn't noticed how strange they were.
Yunyi: "What about Qi Shen? Didn't you feel that something was off about him? Normal people would play with cats and dogs when they see them, but he deliberately avoids making eye contact with you."
He Chun had a serious look on his face, recalling Qi Shen, and felt that he was no different.
Since it was brought up, He Chun didn't take it to heart: "I will observe him carefully again."
At dinner time, Yunyi still took He Chun downstairs. She wanted to observe this group of people up close and see what was really going on.
All the dishes on the table are meat dishes. I don't know how many animals Qi Shen has slaughtered. The bloody smell from the kitchen even wafts into the dining hall. Yunyi Watching them eat, I feel they can't even be called rude, but rather more like animals devouring their food. They seem as if they haven't eaten for a long time, not a word of laughter, all quickly stuffing food into their mouths, their faces fierce.
Qi Shen Sitting alone with her at a table, he served her a plate of tomato and egg stir-fry, and very thoughtfully poured her some tea. If it weren't for this environment, he would be a very well-mannered young gentleman.
Qi Shen: "I'm afraid you won't be used to eating this. Try this instead."
Yunyi: Naturally, I dare not eat it. The consequences of eating random things outside can be very serious.
Yunyi asked him directly, "Why do you always wear this mask and not show your true face to others?"
Qi Shen did not evade or get angry, as if the mask was not an important thing at all.
He asked Yunyi, "Do you believe in gods in this world?"
Without waiting for Yunyi to respond, Qi Shen casually took off the mask to show her: "I believe, because this mask is made from the skull of a god."
Yunyi first instinctively hugged He Chun tightly, then looked at Qi Shen.
His mask was nothing special, and his appearance was that of an ordinary person. However, when he took off the mask and the smile on his face, his expression became extremely cold. He sat there without moving for a long time, not even shifting his gaze.
Yunyi subconsciously called out his name: " Qi Shen?"
Qi Shen didn't move at all, his pitch-black eyes seemed out of control, rolling in different directions before finally looking at Yunyi.
Yunyi stepped back, creating distance between them.
The pure drink had a stronger reaction. It pounced directly at Qi Shen, and He Chun's body quickly enlarged in mid-air, landing and pinning Qi Shen under his claws.
Qi Shen's reaction was slow, and his movements were hesitant. He simply gave up struggling.
Qi Shen recognized He Chun at a glance: "Mountain God? Have you left your own territory?"
It is impossible for anyone to answer him, and Qi Shen is not asking a question either. His mouth cracked wider and wider, beyond human limits, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and he was about to bite He Chun. In that instant, Yunyi was inspired and grabbed the mask from the table and put it on Qi Shen's face.
Qi Shen recovered and after a moment, he smiled again and asked Yunyi, "Are you still curious about my mask?"
