All living beings in hell

Chapter 171 - Bounty Hunter Mazhi
The lotus lantern at the door was lit up, and the office welcomed the 120th customer No. [-].

A black-brown mist overflowed from under the door into the office, and the mist carried a strong smell of rust.

I unfolded the golden light barrier from the front of the table to prevent the unknown rust-smelling gas from invading behind the wooden table.

The black-brown mist gathers, forming the appearance of a mountain forest beast.This beast has a head like a wolf, but stands on two feet like a bear.The claws are as sharp as an eagle, but the tail is long and hairless, like a big mouse.The beast's neck was covered with chains and chains. It squinted its fierce eyes and suddenly rushed towards me.

The iron chain shrank sharply, and the beast howled, its whole body was pulled back and flew back, falling into the mist again.At this time, a tall figure with broad shoulders came out of the mist, wearing a wide-brimmed cowboy hat and leather gloves for falconry.The men's hair is curly and long, braided into two braids, each hanging on the shoulders.

When he got closer, he could see that the man's skin was covered with bumpy scars as if he had been burned before.

In his left hand he holds the thick chain that holds the beast, and on the other shoulder stands a haughty falcon.The eagle's eyes are exactly the same as its owner's, cold, sharp, full of caution and confidence of a top predator.

"Sorry to surprise you."

The man uttered some kind of spell, and the golden charm lit up on the chain.The spell followed the iron chain all the way into the mist, and there were bursts of thunder.The falcon on his shoulder heard the spell, as if hearing a military order, and rushed into the mist screaming.

I don't know what happened on the other end of the iron chain. The beast screamed and the falcon screamed, as if some kind of torture was happening.The iron chain struggled repeatedly with the screams of the beast, pulled left and right and was forcibly straightened.Sweat dripped from the man's forehead, and blue veins appeared on the arm holding the chain.His footsteps have always been steady, the soles of his feet seem to be sticking out of the roots of the trees, and they can't be knocked down by the wind or thunder.

After a while, the iron chain stopped moving, and the screams of the beast disappeared.The man wrapped the iron chain around his arm a few times, then straddled the wooden chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Just after catching this beast, it was teleported here by the pre-set location. I'm sorry, my lord, so much trouble, so much trouble."

"Predetermined positioning?"

"I am a bounty hunter who travels between the stars, Mazhi. It is my daily job to travel between the stars to catch fierce beasts as entrusted by others.

I set the time on the space jumper before and jumped to the writing office. I didn't expect to catch up with this beast just in time, and was transported here before it was processed. "

I wrote down his name on a pen and paper: "Mazhi, why are you looking for me today?"

"There is one thing that has puzzled me for a long time."

"Please speak."

"I feel that all the love that has happened to me is like a curse attached to it, and it will always break up. The other party yells that I can't stand my character, and I can't stand the other party. Me and my lover We're always hurting each other, and there's never a healthy relationship."

"What do you think a healthy relationship looks like?"

"Be able to take care of each other and meet each other's needs. For example, I work all day and fight all kinds of monsters for a day, and I am already very tired. When I return home at this time, I just hope to be alone for a while, eat something delicious, and have a good time. sleep.

I think my wish is simple, but it is not fulfilled.It's okay if we don't live together, but living together will definitely make me look bad.It seemed that it was a big mistake for me to come home late, as if I didn't take their emotions into account when I came home late.

They have emotions, and so do I.I saw their dead faces, and I was also furious.Why do I go through life and death like this every day, isn't it just to bring them a better life?

I don't know what's wrong with women nowadays, one is more difficult to serve than the other.I wish I could bring back delicious and useful ones, take care of their emotions, and pamper them like queens.

Can't do it, can't do it. "

"Have you talked to your ex-partners about this?"

"I said it, it's useless. It's better to have a fight and get some sleep.

At least I was clean that night.

I also know that this is not a long-term strategy, but there is no way, I can be quiet for a while longer.

I'm bored at home and out. "

"Do you have a partner now?"

"It's more complicated, maybe it is."

"Is there?"

"That is, there is a partner who has lived together for a long time, but I rarely go home. I quarrel when I go home, which is a headache."

"and then?"

"I also have emotional needs, physical needs that need to be met. So I have to find someone else to meet those."

"I can understand that you have a lot of partners and each one fulfills a different part of you, right?"

"Probably...probably...probably like this. Of course I hope that there is such a person who can meet all my needs, but it is too difficult."

"It's quite difficult. You have many and high demands on others."

"What do I ask for! I just hope that you can take care of me."

"Besides, I also hope that you will have no temper, be obedient, understand your heart, and ease your emotions. The requirements are really quite high."

"Isn't that what a partner is supposed to do?"

"No."

"If not, what's the use of having a partner!"

"What do you think is useful?"

"That's what I said, take care of my emotions and life. I will also do my part, she will do hers, and then live together."

"What's your part? What's her part?"

"I've said it many times. I hunt beasts, sell money, and bring food and supplies home. Her part is to take care of the house and me. Such a simple thing is much simpler than hunting."

"Does the partner you have lived with for a long time meet your requirements?"

"How should I put it...she is not stable."

"What do you mean unstable?"

"When she is in a good mood, the house will be cleaned up well. When she is in a bad mood, she will make a mess of the house and even quarrel with me, which is very annoying."

"It's so annoying, why don't you separate?"

Ma Zhi clicked her tongue, a little impatiently: "There is no point in separating."

"Why doesn't it make sense?"

"Separation can't make my current life better. There is one less person in the family who can take care of the housework. Forget it, let's do it first."

"From what I hear, it's not the curse of love that's bothering you. You now have so many different lovers who can meet your different needs, and you have a good wife at home, isn't that what you want? It's good, what's the matter?" curse?"

"It's not love, they just meet my needs, it has nothing to do with love!"

"Then what do you think love is?"

"It's the kind that understands me very well. You don't need to speak or explain something specially. You can understand the other person's meaning with a look and a look."

"You mean tacit understanding?"

"Yes, it's that kind of tacit love."

"So you think love with tacit understanding is love?"

"Tacit understanding is the most basic condition of love!"

"Your request has been upgraded again, from caring to two people who must have a strong tacit understanding."

"Are these demands high?"

"Very, very high. Think about it differently. If your partner asks you so much, you must be able to take care of others, manage emotions, and have a tacit understanding. As your role, you must also bring the prey home. You can do it ?"

"Is there anything I can't do, I've been doing it all the time."

"Then your partner doesn't seem particularly satisfied."

"That's because she's asking too much."

"Would she think your request is too high?"

"Where is my requirement high? It is human nature, what the other party should do."

"That's a little unreasonable."

"Nonsense, it doesn't make sense."

"So many demands, so what about love? Where do you put your love?"

"Love is the part of taking care of me. If she loves me, she should take care of me."

"So, you think love is care."

"Yes, care is the most basic condition of love."

"It's been upgraded again, and we have to understand and take care of it."

"Are these demands excessive?"

"I don't think it's too much to ask, it depends on whether you can do it yourself. If you can't do it yourself, don't ask others. It sounds to me that your relationship is full of demands and lack of communication. There's a lot of pressure."

"Pressure, pressure is okay. Anyway, as long as you do your part well, you can do whatever the other person likes."

"Okay, then do whatever you like."

"Why don't you let me and my partner separate? Many people have advised us to separate."

"That's your own business, you need to decide for yourself. I think I have said almost everything I should say."

"What did you say? Why do I feel like you didn't say anything?"

"It seems that your filtering ability is really strong."

"I usually quarrel a lot, so I practice it."

"I think there is nothing wrong with your partner's life even if you maintain the status quo."

"Of course, but I want something better."

"Keep working hard until you want better."

"Why work so hard?"

"It's not time to break the closed loop, so take your time."

"What closed loop?"

"Once you notice the regularity and cycle of events around you, many things will gradually become clear."

"If you have anything to say, just say it straight, my lord, and don't make detours for me."

"You want too much, it's your misunderstanding of love that got you where you are now."

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"

"Love needs to be experienced by yourself slowly. I can't explain it to you directly in words."

"It's cloudy."

"Let's do it first."

Ma Zhi was a little reconciled, but he didn't say anything more.He silently stood up from the chair, looking at the floor with scattered eyes, as if thinking about something. "Actually, there's nothing wrong with it now, right?"

"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that."

"Then let's do this first."

"Well, you go."

The black-brown fog in the center of the office expanded, and the falcon flew out of the fog and landed on Mazhi's leather glove.There was some blood on the eagle's beak, and it looked like it had just had a big meal.Mazhi stroked the feathers on the falcon's neck with her non-gloved hand, and said to the falcon, "Let's go, then let's go."

"Goodbye." I said.

"Goodbye, my lord."

Mazhi stepped into the mist with the eagle, with the sound of the chains on his arms rubbing together.
