In the evening, dark clouds blocked the sunset, and the village soon became dark.

It is very quiet here, and silhouettes are rare. Due to the rain, the villagers return from the fields very early and go to sleep as soon as it gets dark, so the village is almost dark and there is very little light.

There is such a brightly lit house. It is behind the temple at the entrance of the village. There is a small fenced courtyard. Inside is a rectangular small house. It used to be the residence of a certain believer. , But he is no longer alive.

The one who lives inside now is the only priest in the village, an old woman. Few people know her name, most people in the village call her her husband respectfully. A lamp was lit in the dim room. It was placed on a wooden table with only a small flame.

The old man sat in a chair, half-closed his eyes, as if in a daze.

At this moment, a soft knock on the wooden door suddenly sounded. She turned her head slowly, stood up, walked slowly to the door, and opened the door.

Outside the dark door, a tall woman with white hair stood outside. She was the traveler who came to the village today. Everyone thought she was gone, but now she appeared in front of the old man鈥檚 door. .

“I thought you left.”

The old man said lightly.

“I also thought your ears were not very sensitive.”

Rena also replied in that nonchalant tone. The old man glanced at her silently, then turned and entered the house.

“Come in, I know you won’t just leave like this.”

She was right, Rena entered the house and closed the door, she looked at the silhouette of the old man , Eyes slightly narrowed.

After the old man sat down, she lifted the head, looked towards Rena, and asked: “Don鈥檛 you sit?”

Rena shook the head and said: “No, I won鈥檛 Staying for too long.”

She leaned her back against the door frame and crossed her hands, looking towards the old man.

“It’s for that boy’s business, right.”

The old man suddenly asked.

“You know.”

“Everyone in the village knows that it is too late when it reaches my ears.”

The old woman sighed, Rena’s still looked at her coldly.

“Do you want to say it has nothing to do with you?”

“Hmm…”

The old man fell silent, Rena could only see her side The face, she was motionless, as if dead.

“Want to pretend not to hear?”

“No, I just remembered the past.”

“Can you answer my question now? “

“What do you want to know?”

Rena is lightly sighed, she doesn’t want to make things complicated.

“In your study hall, there is a kid named Feng Ma.”

“I know him, he is the smartest and the poorest one.”

“Do you know that his mother is missing?”

“I heard.”

“Did you do it?”

Rena asked directly. She looked at the other person’s eyes, and the other person turned her head, looking towards Rena with the eyes hidden in the wrinkles.

“No, how could I do such a thing?”

Her tone was strange.

“Then I don鈥檛 understand why you have to pretend to be a human being and also pretend to be deaf and dumb. I think no one would doubt an old man who has limited mobility and has some deaf ears. “

The old man suddenly fell silent, sitting motionless on the chair, and the room suddenly became silent.

The wind from outside blew on the wooden door, making a slight noise.

The old man’s mouth was half open, and her eyes widened. But soon, as if she had been taken down, the wrinkles on her face returned.

“How did you know that I am not a human being?”

She admits that, in fact, Rena is not sure, but there is a conjecture. The reason why she has such a single thought , Because… She can perceive the water on the opponent’s body. Although unable to control, she can use this to judge the opponent’s age, height, health status, and whether she is malicious.

During the battle, she can even read the flow of the opponent’s blood to determine the direction of the opponent’s attack.

The old man in front of her has a body structure completely different from that of the old man or human beings. The direction of blood circulation is so strange that Rena has to doubt her.

“This is my personal ability.”

There will always be such strange people.

The old man took a breath and said, “Are you going to kill me?”

“It depends on your answer.”

Rena eyes Slightly narrowed, so that she can more easily concentrate the blood around her eyes, and the blood flow she sees is clearer, and she can judge whether the other party is lying.

“My answer is, you found the wrong person, I have never killed anyone.”

Heard, Rena felt a little skeptical, but the other party behaved very naturally. It seems to be lying.

“When did you come here, pretending to be like this?”

“About three years ago.”

“But I listen to people Say, the old man who teaches has lived here more than ten years ago.”

“Yes.”

“Even so, do you insist that you didn’t kill anyone?”

Rena came prepared.

“Yes, as you can see, I am good at disguising, especially disguising as a human being. I live in human form for most of my life. The difference from other creatures is , If you want to pretend to be human, it鈥檚 not enough to just look similar. You still need to understand your thinking.”

Speaking, the old man stood up, strange things happened, and her face became smooth. , The eyes have also become blue, just like Rena. It was a strange feeling to see myself standing in front of me.

“Language, demeanor, action, I observe and study all the time. Over time, I slowly get used to living in human form and integrating into your society, just like a part of you Many times, I would forget my identity and think that I am a human being.” She imitated Rena’s cold expression and had to admire that she learned a lot and made Rena herself feel threatened.

She finally knows why human beings hate other people pretending to be themselves, it may use its own appearance to do bad things, and then count it to herself.

At this moment, she changed back to the look of senile, her straight waist slowly bent down, and her body shrank back.

“Until three years ago, for some reason, I had to leave the original place and came here.”

“Why?”

” Because I鈥檓 deaf and can鈥檛 hear the sound. For our shapeshifters, if we can鈥檛 respond to the sound, we will be treated as a traitor, and I will be dealt with as a traitor.”

Rena clenched her brows, and said to her heart how much of this metamorphosis is lurking in human society.

“I became a cat and climbed into a carriage that didn鈥檛 know where I was going. By chance, I came here and was picked up by an old man. She was a woman with some ears and some problems with her body. The old man, has no relatives, no one to rely on, even those who have trouble carrying water, want those children to learn to read and get out of this mountain. Until one day, she sleeps in bed as usual, the difference is, 2nd She did not wake up in the morning of day.”
