The night seemed quieter than it had ever been before, the wind stopped, and the snow also stopped falling.

  The only sound left between heaven and earth was the mournful cry of a small fox, and the atmosphere in the desolate forest outside the northern suburbs of Jiangbei was so sorrowful.

  I and Yi Xin Xing didn't say anything, just stood there stupidly.

  A blank in my mind.

  Could only stare blankly as the little night fox rushed to its mother's side, wailing loudly in grief.

  The male fox seemed to have lost consciousness, while the female fox trembled and stretched out her right hand to comfort their crying child, with eyes full of love. She murmured: "Why are you crying again, so pitiful."

  That little night fox cried and stuttered, shouting "Mother! Mother!" just like a child who was just learning to speak.

  That mother night fox smiled bleakly, then picked up the dead sparrow that had fallen to the ground from the little night fox's hand, and gently placed it in the little night fox's hand, saying: "Good girl, mom is fine."

  At this point, my tears flowed again. Since the beginning of university, I basically haven't cried at all. I don't know why, but at this moment, my tears couldn't stop flowing down.

  Looking at the mother and child fox spirits in front of me, my heart is filled with guilt and unease. Despite them not being human, despite them being malevolent demons, I had just decided to fight to the death.

  But now I feel like I'm a murderer.

  How did this happen!! How can it feel like this??!!!

  Yi Xin Xing beside him also wore a look of surprise, probably he still couldn't understand why these malevolent monsters would have such emotions.

  My head is about to explode, why is this? Why did I win but still feel so guilty? Is everything spiritual, or is the so-called "exorcism" fundamentally wrong? Was my study of the "Three Pure Ones Scripture" also a mistake?

  Just as we were at a loss, I faintly heard the voice of the mother night fox. It trembled and said to me: "Mr. Yin Yang... come over here for a moment."

  I raised my head, looked at the night fox lying on the snowy ground, and then looked at Yixin Star. Yixin Star shook his head at me, I roughly understood what he meant, he was afraid that the night fox would take advantage of my approach to perish together with me.

  But I still decided to go, for some reason, perhaps it was the guilt in my heart. I had no reason to refuse a mother who was about to die.

  So I struggled to get up, and a sharp pain like a knife cut shot through my back, it hurt so much that I took in a cold breath, but I still walked towards it with determination. Yixinxing saw that I had made up my mind and didn't try to persuade me anymore. He sighed, picked up the flashlight, walked beside me, and supported me as we walked step by step.

  As we walked into the den, the little night fox who was crying beside its mother looked up at me with tears in its eyes and a gaze full of hatred and sorrow, making me dare not to look it straight in the eye.

  The mother fox trembled and said to it: "Good boy, listen, don't blame them."

  I stood half a meter away from her, Yi Xin Xing standing beside me, he didn't dare to let his guard down, after all they were monsters.

  I had just sat down when the mother fox spirit spoke to me, "Mr. Yin Yang, you've won. Why do you still look so gloomy? Isn't this the outcome you wanted? Isn't this a victory for your justice?"

  I don't know how to respond, although I won, but it's very sad. I opened my mouth and said to it: "Sorry, this is not the result I want. What I want now, even I myself don't know what it is."

  It looked at me again, apologized weakly with a smile, and said to me: "Mr. Yinyan, you are very interesting, different from those hypocritical people I met before, so you don't have to blame yourself for what you did, I just said it's fate, not something you or I can change."

  After listening to what it said, I still didn't know what to say. But at this time, it started trembling, and the public night fox beside it had begun to disappear bit by bit. It seemed that the time was almost up, and it would soon be scattered in spirit.

  She trembled and said to me: "We were originally incompatible, you didn't do anything wrong, I'm almost dying now, and even if I were alive, there wouldn't be any happiness."

  She gazed at the small night fox standing beside her with a complex expression, then said: "Since there is still so-called kindness in your heart, fine, I'll tell you one more thing before I die."

  I didn't know what she could say to me at that time, I just nodded, and then this mother fox told me about the process of their family appearing in Harbin.

  These two night foxes have been practicing Tao for hundreds of years. During the Republic of China, Mr. Yin and Yang showed off his skills, so most of the night foxes were killed. The entire night fox tribe was left with only these two. They had indeed harmed many people and killed many Mr. Yin and Yangs before, but when the time came, they could only flee in panic, because at that time, no one believed in this set anymore. As the saying goes, "the ignorant are fearless", if people's hearts are twisted into a force, no matter what kind of evil spirits or gods you are, you will eventually be driven away.

  The mother fox was pregnant with a little fox at that time, in order to avoid danger for the child in her belly, they had to run into a deep mountain and hibernate.

  But unexpectedly, this spring, a human found their hiding place and woke them up. The person's goal was to rob the two of a treasure, a piece of skin from an unknown animal, which is said to have a close relationship with the origin of the Night Foxes. It is a treasured heirloom passed down through generations of the Night Fox clan.

  They would never compromise with a human, let alone hand over the Night Fox's treasure, so they took action, but unexpectedly that person was very formidable and the two were no match for him.

  They were seriously injured and found an opportunity to escape by borrowing the waterway at the foot of the mountain after a desperate fight. The river at the foot of the mountain belongs to a tributary of the Songhua River, so they floated along the river to Harbin, which is adjacent to the Songhua River.

  After arriving in Harbin, the mother fox, who was seriously injured and had moved her fetus, could no longer bear it and came to this forest in the northern suburbs of Jiangbei with the male fox. She gave birth to a little night fox. Due to the habits of the night fox, after giving birth to the cub, it must be parasitic on human children within 49 days, otherwise the cub will lose its soul.

  It then took advantage of the night to sneak into the city, coincidentally running into Song Jia and her mother. As for what happened next, I already had a general idea. Unexpectedly, its current state was still severely injured; if it hadn't been hurt, perhaps Yi Xinxing and I would have been killed long ago.

  I finally understand why the monsters that don't belong to this era have appeared, but who is the person who awakened them? Is there really another white-clad onmyouji in this society now? And hearing it say that, the person is also very formidable. Thinking about it, even if we two were fighting against those injured ones, we would already be exhausted and covered in wounds.

  And yet that person was able to almost kill them without a scratch! But what was his purpose? Slaying demons and monsters? Impossible, because they were already in a deep sleep at the time, this isn't the White Sect's style. Moreover, he also wanted to rob those monsters of their things, so that person must not be some kind of good person.

  After saying this, the little fox began to tremble violently again. It seemed that it had been holding on just to finish speaking. Seeing its mother in such pain, the little fox burst into tears once more. Having never stayed by its mother's side for long since birth, it hadn't expected that reuniting with its parents would be a farewell.

  Although we are helpless, what are these people who separate mothers and sons if not murderers?

  But I can only do this, if given another chance to choose, I would still choose to fight with them, because I have no other choice.

  I am human after all.

  But why am I so heartbroken at this moment?

  The mother fox's body was gradually turning white, a sign that her soul was about to leave her body. With the last of her strength, she lifted her hand and stroked her cub, trembling as she spoke to me: "You... be careful... because... I have a premonition... that there will be another conflict between humans and demons... Be careful around that person... He's just like you..."

  Because it was about to disappear, the words were disjointed and I couldn't make out what it was saying. All I could do was not interrupt it and let it say what it wanted to say.

  It trembled and said: "Please... at least... let us... mother and child... be together, then... the skin... will send you."

  I understood what it said and nodded in agreement, I got it.

  It saw me nodding and looked at its own child who it had hardly seen before. It cried, trembling and speaking in a weak voice:

  "If there is a next life... I really hope... I can still be your mother."

  After finishing her last words, she completely disappeared, leaving only a few white lights in the forest, which was proof that this great mother had really existed.

  Staring at the small night fox that had disappeared with its mother, it suddenly lost its senses and wailed miserably, futilely trying to grasp the white lights, shouting unclearly: "Mother! Mother!"

  I and Yi Xin Xing couldn't bear to look anymore. Who was right or wrong, there was no definition; who won or lost, it had lost all meaning.

  What's more, that pathetic 'justice'.

  At this moment, although I'm feeling extremely complicated, I haven't forgotten the last thing I promised that vixen mother. From now on, I won't allow any more hesitation.

  I asked Yi Xin Xing, who was standing beside me: "Yi Ge, you are the successor of 'San Qing Qi Men', is there a way to save this unformed and heavily injured demon in the Qi Men technique?"

  Yi Xinxing shook his head and said to me: "Can't be saved. Even if there really is a great Luoshen god, it can't be saved."

  I smiled wryly and said to him, "Is that so?"

  He didn't say anything, but I already knew roughly what was going on in his mind. That's fate.

  I said to Yi Xin Xing: "Brother Yi, that piece of fur the vixen mentioned earlier should still be in the place I went to just now. Would you mind getting it for me? The one emitting white light is it."

  Yi Xinxing nodded and walked towards the depths of the forest.

  And I gritted my teeth and struggled to get up again, staggering to the front of that little night fox. Perhaps it was also greatly stimulated, and now it was in a daze, crying without knowing it, staring blankly at its own small hand, the frozen sparrow lying quietly there.

  The last wish of the mother fox was to have me escort its child on its way, because it didn't want to see the child spend its remaining three days in sorrow. Rather than that, it would be better to send it off now.

  But when it comes to actually doing it, I look at its current expression and hesitate a bit. That inexplicable sadness surges up again, my legs go weak, and I end up kneeling in front of the little night fox.

  Let me continue being the scapegoat then.

  I took out the last 'Jia Wu Yu Qing Po Sha Fu' from my bag, I bowed my head and gently stuck the talisman on the little night fox's forehead, my tears flowed out again.

  Sorry.

  As urgent as an imperial decree.

  There was no struggle, no mournful cry. When I lifted my head, all I saw was the frozen sparrow on the snowy ground, and the little night fox had turned into a speck of white light, reflecting the tears streaming down my face. From that day on, the night fox, this kind of monster, officially disappeared from history.
