From the end of the world

Chapter 110 The End
The Shadow-Shifter showed a different kind of despair than before.

Although he knew that he was doomed, he still had a desire to live. But now he had lost all his will. It was as if all the bones in his body had been pulled out, and he had lost the strength to support his body. If he had not been caught by the flaming hand, he would have fallen to the ground.

His true identity has been exposed, his way of survival has been blocked, his secrets have been revealed, and now even his strength has been lost. I'm afraid he really has no desire to live, and his face is covered with a thick look of dejection.

"I'm sorry, but you still have to face the problem next." Lu Youxun said coldly, "It's time to answer us. Where is the monster maker?"

The Changeling's lips moved of their own accord. "I don't know."

"After you became a monster, the Monster Maker should have come to meet you several times and conducted a physical examination on you, right?" Lu Youxun said, "Have you really not explored his true identity and his origins? Although you don't know the Humanitarian Department, you should at least have some understanding of him. Think carefully! You must have a clue."

"...I don't know." The Shadow-Changer said dejectedly.

Lu Youxun frowned.

"He really has no clue?" I asked.

"No, that shouldn't be the case. It's just that he's not very motivated to think right now. He just doesn't have a ready-made answer to my question. He has to think seriously before he can answer me... That's about it."

After Lu Youxun thought about it, he spoke to the shadow-changing man again.

This time, he seemed to have finally demonstrated his professional qualities in interrogation techniques.

"Don't you want to drag the monster maker into this?" he asked.

"..." Upon hearing this, the shadow-changing man's expression changed slightly.

"You should know very well that the Monster Maker is no different from those dignitaries who used to treat you as a dog and a tool." Lu Youxun's voice gradually became more seductive, "He is not a good man doing charity. The reason he gave you power is just to treat you as a guinea pig.

"You must have imagined it many times. One day... you will bring down that arrogant man who wears a meaningless metal mask and likes to speak in a pretentious manner. Make him crawl in front of you like a dog and confess what he has done to you..."

Zhu Shi frowned, took two steps to both sides of Ma Zao, raised her hands slightly, and then put them down. I felt like she wanted to cover Ma Zao's ears, just like when there are adults around talking about dark topics and don't want innocent children to hear them.

Zhu Shi's concern for Ma Zao is often like his concern for a child, even though they are only four or five years apart in age. Although I also regard Ma Zao as a girl younger than me, it is difficult for me to treat her purely as a child.

"If..." the Shadow-Changer began, "If I obey you, will you let me go?"

"No, you're dead." Lu Youxun said as cold as ice.

"Then why should I help you?" the Shadow-Changer asked back.

"Because you will have the chance to take that guy with you to death in the end!" Lu Youxun said firmly, "Now, I ask you again, where is the monster maker?"

"…It should be in the old town." The Shadow-Shadow Man really said it.

Although the truth-telling spell may have played a role, he was obviously much more active than before: "There is a place like a high-end clinic there. Every time he would send me a message two days in advance, asking me to go there myself, and then collect my body tissue samples and do various other tests.

"It's just that the place is deserted and dusty, and he probably only takes people there when necessary."

"I see. To conduct a physical examination on a weirdo, you must have the appropriate equipment and instruments, as well as a place to store them... This makes sense." Lu Youxun nodded, "So, where is that place in the old city?"

The Shadow-Changer shook his head and said, "He sealed my memory. Only under the specified time and conditions can I recall the memory of that place."

"What time and what conditions?" Lu Youxun asked.

"As for the time, it's the night he plans to do a physical examination on me. It's almost tonight." The Shadow-Changer replied, "As for the conditions, I must go to that place alone, and I can't reveal the location to anyone other than myself."

Hearing this, Lu Youxun's eyes suddenly lit up: "In other words, the monster maker will appear at that location tonight!?"

"Yes." The Shadow-Changer nodded.

"Very good. You just said that your memory was sealed... Let me see!"

Lu Youxun kept holding the other person's head and closed his eyes, as if he was reading his thoughts, or even reading his memories.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, but said nothing. He took out several pieces of white talisman paper from his arms and pasted them on the other person's head, then closed his eyes again. At the same time, his left hand was still pinching hand seals, as if he was doing complicated and obscure divination.

After a long while, he frowned, opened his eyes, and said, "No. The Monster Maker has not only processed all his memories, but also prepared a very powerful anti-divination strategy in advance. I can't find out where the Monster Maker is going."

"What should we do then?" Zhu Shi asked, "We can't let him live until night. The Heart Seed will leave his body before then, and Ma can't stop it by then."

After thinking about it, Ma Zao said, "I have a solution."

"What method?" Lu Youxun asked immediately.

"I have an ability similar to divination, which I can use on this monster." What Ma Zao said at this moment was undoubtedly the ability she used to trace the target's past experiences when investigating the broken hand of the shadow-changing monster. "But this monster still has a heart seed in his body. This kind of substance with strong mana fluctuations will disrupt my perception, so I have to kill him first before I can use it."

"It doesn't matter. As long as you can find the maker of the monster, you can kill him as you like." Lu Youxun said without hesitation, and then asked, "How sure are you? Do you need a whole body?" Ma Zao glanced at me secretly, and then said, "The chances are very high. Just leave the head. But normally, it will take me at least a week to investigate the information I want."

"One week? That's too late!" Lu Youxun found it hard to accept. "He will come into contact with monsters regularly. After a week, he will probably find that all the monsters in this city have been eliminated. After that, he will no longer use that location, and most likely he will not continue to recruit monsters in this city."

But I heard something fishy, ​​and Zhu Shi paused slightly.

Normally? Where is the "normal" thing about Ma Zao? When it comes to things related to the weird, I'm afraid the clues will fall into her hands!

In other words, she would probably be able to find out immediately, but she was just wary of outsiders.

Perhaps because of his unstable mood, Lu Youxun did not seem to be able to display his usual level of observation and finally accepted it: "Okay, that's fine. It's better than not finding out anything at all."

"Then let me do it..." Zhu Shi stepped forward with his sword.

But I thought of what Agent Kong had said in the past.

Zhu Shi was afraid of bloodshed and also afraid of killing.

She always tries to bear these things on her shoulders, because she doesn't want people around her to experience such scary things.

I decided to kill the shadow-changing monster myself and blocked her way.

She looked at me in confusion.

At this moment, two more people walked into the area surrounded by the grove. They were Chang'an and Goldfish who came here under the guidance of the "firefly".

Looking at the naked shadow-changing monster, Jinyu was slightly distracted. The latter saw his daughter appear here and shouted in disbelief: "You...how come you are here? Wait, your skirt..."

Without saying a word, Goldfish took out a golden-red mask from his body and put it on his face.

The Shadow-Changer was stunned: "This mask... are you the 'Goldfish' in that store!?"

"Are you going to kill him?" Chang'an asked me.

"We are planning to kill him now," I said, "but we still have time to let the goldfish say a few words to him."

"Dad, I heard you're going to die." Goldfish took off his mask and said to the Shadow-Shadow Man, "I won't plead for you. If you have any last words you want me to tell Mom, tell her now. As your daughter, I can help you with things like this. But remember to keep your mouth shut. If you say something bad, I won't tell you."

The Shadow-Changer said coldly: "Get out of here, I have nothing to say."

"I do have something to say to you," said the goldfish.

"If you have to fart, do it now!" cursed the shadow-changing monster.

Goldfish seemed to be used to it, and continued calmly: "I originally planned to sneak into the nightclub and use myself to frame you. Although I was hindered by some nosy people in the middle, to be honest, even if no one interfered, it would be difficult for you to point out me.

"Because you always insist on naming another person, that little girl who is seven or eight years younger than me. I want to ask you, why that little girl? Are you really just a pervert who likes girls?"

After hearing this, the Shadow Changer's expression changed several times, and then he sneered and said, "So what?"

"That nightclub has been destroyed now. I saw the little girl being protected by the law enforcement team, and I also saw her face after she took off the mask," said Jinyu.

The Shadow-Changing Monster's expression changed slightly.

And I recalled the appearance of the little girl.

Previously, through "Firefly", I also saw the little girl's face after she took off the rabbit mask, just like the goldfish. The reason why I was able to recognize her was because she had not taken off the goldfish hairpin for the time being. To be honest, although the face was quite pretty, there was nothing impressive about it. It was just an oval-faced little girl that you can see everywhere.

Thinking of this, I felt like something in my heart was touched.

Oval face, goldfish hairpin...

"Why that little girl?" the goldfish repeated his question.

"..." The Shadow-Changer slowly closed his eyes. "I'm just a pervert who likes girls. There's no other reason."

The goldfish looked at him for a long time, and finally said to me: "I'm sorry to take up some of your time, please kill him."

I nodded, then turned around and put my hand on the Shadow-Shadow's shoulder.

The flames completely consumed his body.

he died.
