Chapter 22
1
I am currently at the rooftop of a building. I want to clarify that I did not climb up here to show off, but rather, I wanted to see what exactly was happening. The bodies of the demonized people are full of holes, they can no longer be considered human, just a mass of flesh. Even if we were to capture them, it would be useless because they wouldn't know anything, and they couldn't possibly know anything. Leaving them alive would only bring harm.
Even from a distance, I can see Wenxin sitting calmly next to the medical personnel. Her gaze keeps shifting, probably searching for my figure. But the less people who know about my presence, the better. Wenxin, just hold on for a little longer. I will be back soon.
Perhaps there is a girl who needs a little guidance from me right now! From a biological perspective, it is not a good thing for a girl to have resistance towards boys.

Huayue - it used to be a bakery where I would buy cream cakes. But starting from last year, it has turned into a coffee shop. The owner, named Yue, is a young person in his twenties who makes excellent cakes. At least, I think they are excellent. He had a relationship with a girl last year, around the same age, who had a special fondness for coffee. To impress the girl, he turned the shop into a coffee shop, while still keeping the cakes. Now they work together every day.
"Uncle Yue!" I entered the shop and greeted the owner. After coming here for many years, I am very familiar with him. Even though he is not much older than me, I like to tease and call him "Uncle."
"Huh?" The owner was taken aback for a moment. "Oh, Yang, why did you dye your hair white today? It looks strange. And how many times have I told you not to call me 'Uncle,' I'm not that old yet!"
"Sigh~ After so many years, you still haven't gotten used to it!"
"I've never gotten used to it for all these years."
"But one day you will get used to it. Your first reaction will no longer be about my hair, but about criticizing my nickname. You will forget about it eventually."
"You're such a mischievous child. Are you here today to buy a cake? Cream cake? I have a new creation today, I want Wenxin to try it." Yue took out his new creation, it looked very beautiful. He must have put a lot of thought into it.
"Yes, please pack it for me. I'll take it with me later."
"Alright!"
"Hey, have you seen a girl dressed as a cat girl?" People who dress uniquely are easy to remember.
"She's on the second floor! Is she your girlfriend?"
"No, it's just that I have something to discuss with her, we're classmates."
I looked at the menu for a moment, considered for about twenty seconds, and pointed to a line on it. "I'll have a cup of cappuccino."
"Don't you drink black coffee?" Every time Yang comes here, he always drinks pure coffee without any additions. He doesn't need any fancy decorations. He said he likes the pure taste of the coffee beans, that slightly bitter flavor is what he likes.
"Just wanted to change my taste! Bring it up to the second floor later."
The second floor of the shop was deserted, with only a few people sitting. Hanya was sitting alone by the window, taking off her cat gloves and slowly cutting the blueberry cake in front of her. Her eyes seemed a bit empty.
"A girl who likes to eat blueberries must have something missing in her heart."
"Who said that?"
"I - Qin Yang."
"You're talking nonsense!" Hanya elegantly put a piece of cake into her mouth.
"Thank you for coming."
"You drove me here, I want you to reimburse me for the transportation fee."
"You're quite good at joking! But why do you hate boys so much? Humans are special, boys and girls..."
"That's enough! I don't want to talk about this topic." Hanya suddenly put down her fork.
"No, I asked you here to talk about this. When a girl's heart is distorted, it always makes a boy feel inexplicably curious."
"Curiosity killed the cat, you must have heard of this proverb!"
In an instant, I unsheathed my sword, smoothly and unhindered. But Hanya wasn't as fast as me. When the sword was two-thirds out, I pressed her hand back.
"Alright, you're not my opponent. You should know that. Let's chat. Don't you think I might be able to help you?"
"Yang, it's normal for couples to fight." Yue placed the coffee on the table.
"Okay, stop teasing me. We're not that kind of relationship."
"Can you be sure that after today, you will still have this kind of relationship?" Yue smiled sinisterly.
"Uncle Yue~~~"
"You two can talk slowly. I'll go downstairs. If you need me, just find me."
"Well, gossip king, go ahead."
I picked up the cup and took a deep breath. "Hmm, the brewing is quite good."
"I don't want to talk about what just happened. I'm leaving!" Hanya knew she couldn't beat me. The Hat Girl from earlier was at most evenly matched with her, but I had beaten her before.
"Sometimes, escaping is the best relief, but sometimes it can trap you even deeper. There's someone in front of you who escaped that day, but they don't feel well every day. Although they subconsciously hide that memory, they would dream of that broken day every now and then." Coffee is bitter with a hint of sweetness, and it leaves a delicate aftertaste.
"I understand. Just because something is over and escaped from doesn't mean it didn't happen."
As the words fell, our foreheads pressed against each other.
The Art of Analysis - Seeing the memories of each other's brains through physical contact.
The images flickered, a bit fragmented, a bit chaotic, but they could be organized. The image of the girl being harassed and violated, not knowing who the other person was, with blurry memories indicating resistance from the brain. Although the result was that the little girl was saved, the inner shadow was unknowingly left. The male hands began to resist, but Hanya didn't pay attention. As time passed, Hanya developed a dislike for males and didn't want to have any contact with them. It was only when she realized that females were more worth understanding in her heart that she slowly escaped the feeling of fear. It took a lot of courage for her to hold onto my arm just now.
"I see your shadow."
"I also see yours." To make it more convincing, I let her see my memories as well.
"Come, let me take you somewhere else."

"Why are you taking me to an amusement park?"
"Come on, follow me."
I took Hanya on a roller coaster ride!
"Don't want to play this! It's scary!" Hanya clenched her small fists and stood next to the train.
I reached out my hand to her and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm right beside you! Trust me!"
"The thing I dislike the most in my life is roller coasters."
"I can see that. If you're afraid, hold my hand." I reached out my hand again, but Hanya didn't take it, she just lowered her head silently.
The train slowly moved until it reached the highest point...
"Ah~~~~~"
The continuous screams could release all kinds of dissatisfaction and thoughts in one's heart. Some people would understand that the feeling before getting on the roller coaster and after getting off were completely different, and many things in their hearts would be resolved.
"Click~" The sound of the train being fixed.
"Hoo~~~Hoo~~~" Even the most outstanding people have things they fear. Hanya was tricked into coming up this time, and I estimated that she wouldn't try it again for at least a year or two.
"Hey! You did it!" I shook my right hand, gesturing for Hanya to look at it. Surprisingly, we were already holding hands tightly.
"Look at what's in front of you, we're not worth being afraid of, right?"
"Um!"
Hanya looked at our hands, wanting to let go, but I held on tightly and didn't allow her to release her hand.
"Why are you helping me? We're just classmates!"
"I like to help, even if it's a stranger. Moreover, we are classmates!" I took out something, kissed it lightly, and put it in Hanya's hand. "Try to face it. You can't escape forever. If you can feel better, I would like to see you wearing it."
Hanya sat on a chair in the amusement park. Miao's clothes were eye-catching, but she didn't care. The only thing she cared about was the thing in her hand. Many thoughts ran through her mind...

Several months later.
"Why did you give her that?"
"A ring with a contract! It has been proven that Hanya has already worn that ring because the contract has left a mark on her arm."
"But isn't it a bit of a joke to complete a conquest like this?"
"What do you mean by a joke? The hearts of girls, especially those who have been hurt, are easily caught. They are not like women who have experienced storms and have hearts of steel. If you can capture their emotions for a moment, you'll succeed! Besides, this is the first time I have conquered a girl, so it's not bad!"
"I still can't accept that I am the Demon Dragon, the God of the Demon Realm."
"Take your time, you will accept it. Now, we have to greet our guest."
While I leisurely conversed with White in my mind, a person floated outside the terrace.
"Oh! Sir, do you need anything?" I'm not sure how long he has been here, but I can't let him just keep staring.
This boy is wearing a gray shirt, and the school emblem is clearly not from our school. He must be a student from another school. What is he doing here so late at night?
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Qin Taiyuan, a member of the Student Council at Nadar College. I heard that your school has a student who can banish demons, so I came specifically to inquire about it. You must be that student!"
"Can I say no?"
"No?" His serious tone suddenly turned humorous.
"Alright, yes, it's me! You're here as a scout for the inter-school competition, right?" Nadar was a tough opponent last year, and I remember it vividly as a member of the audience.
"As summoners, we should compete against each other, don't you think?" A little girl appeared beside him, with small white wings that were quite cute.
"This is my familiar! Let's see whose familiar is better!"
Familiars are very rare, and those who can summon them are extraordinary.
The little girl didn't speak, but without a sound, she left a small scratch on my cheek, and blood slowly seeped out.
"What weak magic barrier, do you really have the ability to control that Magic?" The boy looked at me contemptuously, clearly provoking.
"Do you want to find out?" I prepared to show him the power of my "Sealing Magic". Nosophis was already in front of us, holding her wand, silently chanting.
"Huh?" Before the other party could react, he fell down completely. I'm on the third floor, so it must be quite painful to fall from here. I'll have the chance to experience that sensation too.
"Hey hey, this is my familiar!" I bent down, pointed at Nosophis, and smiled at the boy.
