Witch Movement (2)

Under the moonlight, the blond "Alex"'s golden eyes appear a light green.

Inger looked at him, not letting out a sigh of relief, and smiled calmly, "…………Feileng, hello."

The long-lost "Ellie" - the Puppet Demon King Fei Leng, smiled softly and said, "Ah, as expected, you recognized me right away. Now I should call you Inger Neka, right?"

Inger looked at him, clenching his left palm, his nails digging into the flesh, and holding the wand tightly in his right hand, not letting down his guard at all. He maintained a smile and said, "What's the matter?"

Fei rushed over with a cold face, but was pushed away by Inger with his scepter against his heart.

Fei curled his eyes in a sneer, and Alex looked even better when he smiled. He said, "Don't be so cold. I want to kill you or this body, and there are many ways to do it."

Inger narrowed his eyes: "Then you will die too."

Fei Leng's smile deepened: "I know you want to know more. It's okay, I will tell you slowly. You are different from others. First of all, I am in this body. If I commit suicide, I will only return to my original body."

Inger narrowed his eyes. This was just like the intelligence in the comics. He was telling the truth.

Fei Leng rolled his eyes and said, "This body is also very special. I tried many times before I got the chance to enter. The work and rest schedule is really irregular."

Inger: "You know I can kick you out, right?"

Fei sneered: "I know, but..." He smiled without saying anything.

Inger had guessed what he meant.

Even if Inger had a way to remove his possession, he couldn't keep an eye on Alex all the time. Fei Leng had too many ways to easily kill any human he possessed, anytime and anywhere.

In this confrontation, he was at a complete disadvantage.

However, if the demon's goal was just to kill people, he wouldn't have to go to the trouble of hiding, so at least there would be room for maneuver.

He needs to try to figure out the other party's purpose.

Inger then asked, "Why did you kill Cheryl's brother?"

Fei Leng thought for a moment and raised his eyebrows: "...Ah."

His exclamation lasted a moment.

Fei Leng sat on the bed, crossed her legs and asked slowly, "Are you talking about the girl who shoots arrows?"

Inger's heart sank, as this was a direct acknowledgement of the fact that he also had memories of his past life.

Fei Leng pondered for a while, his smile disappeared for a moment, and he murmured to himself, "You clearly know that I killed him, but you don't know why I killed him. Ah, that's right, you don't speak our language."

"I came here to thank you for naming my sister."

"You can change her name."

Fei Leng smiled brightly: "Me? Why? This is the name I gave her the first time?"

Inger got goosebumps all over his body.

[How could there be such a coincidence?! ]

Fei Leng continued, "You know I have a younger sister, do you know that? I also have an older sister, my father's biological child."

This was definitely the first time he had heard of this.

Fei Leng seemed quite satisfied with the shock in his eyes.

Fei smiled coldly and said, "It's normal that you don't know, because she died a long time ago at the hands of that little girl with a bow and arrow. She was holding my sister in her arms at the time."

The arrow exploded two people's bodies in front of him.

And to that human archer, they were no different from other demons.

The cool night breeze rushed up Inger's back, and he stared at Fei Leng.

"I killed her brother to avenge my grudge. But you don't have to worry. As long as she doesn't touch my relatives this time, I won't touch them either. I am a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and grudges." He said with a smile.

How could the same face now look as terrifying as a demon?

Inger calmed down and said, "Just tell me the real reason why you came to see me."

Fei Leng leaned back a little and looked at the thin boy carefully. "In my first life, I met Alex, but you don't exist."

Inger lowered his eyes and looked at his wand.

"Alex was special. I couldn't possess him while he was conscious. I thought this was the only special case, so I paid special attention to it. But you, you have entered my body before."

Not a question, but an affirmation.

Inger raised his eyes and looked at him, and his eyes seemed to have tacitly agreed with what he said.

This is also the purpose of his leaving that message.

After seeing the scenery of the human slave village, his view of Florence changed a little, and he also needed to confirm some things.

Inger said, "I know your ability, and I know what will happen in the future, but I am different from you. I am not the second time."

Fei Leng nodded: "I think so. I didn't see you the first time either." He changed the subject and said, "I don't want to explore why I have a second life, and I don't believe that the goddess gave me the opportunity. You went to the human village that I manage, right? How do you feel?"

Inger was silent.

There, people live more like animals than humans.

Fei Leng said to herself: "I am also very grateful for the planting method you taught them. In my first life, when I first came to this continent, I did not think about learning human language or technology, so I made a lot of wrong decisions. In fact, I don’t know how to learn better now."

Inger looked at him cautiously.

Fei Leng's expression softened, and he said kindly, "I really like the lives of the people here. They are happy, active, and colorful. That's how they live like real people."

[So you're not used to it and want to start a war to destroy all of this? ]

Inger gritted his teeth.

He read the comics from the perspective of the protagonist and could not suppress his anger.

But he didn't show it on the surface. He asked, "I don't know what you want to say."

Fei Leng said: "How could that be? You are so smart. I am begging you to help me?"

Inger thought to himself, there is no sign of this at all.

Fei Leng continued, "I know that Alex is a pioneer knight of mankind. The humans of this continent set foot on our continent in order to destroy us and save mankind."

Inger frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with this conversation.

He asked politely, "But I died halfway through. Since you know the future, do you know what the final outcome will be? Can you tell me?"

Inger opened his mouth and said: "...human beings in the Eastern Continent survived."——A very small number.

His instinct told him that telling a lie to this guy at this moment would not end well.

Fei Leng raised her eyebrows slightly: "...Oh? What about the mixed-blood?"

Inger: “…”

He thought of the demons trapped in the cage.

Those seemed to be naturally born half-blood demons.

Fei Leng sighed: "You know what I want to say, right?"

Inger's sense of foreboding was growing rapidly.

The most terrifying opponent may not be someone as ruthless, meticulous, and intelligent as the queen.

Rather, it is a person who, on this basis, has a clear non-selfish purpose and is determined to implement it.

No, is this guy in front of me really a villain in the strict sense?

The villain is just a role in most works. A person in reality is not absolutely good or evil. Maybe for him, he is the one who executes justice.

Depending on different positions and interests, positioning can be constantly transformed.

At least Alex, Cheryl and others felt no guilt when they were hunting demons.

From Fei Leng's perspective, they can also be considered villains, right?

Fei Leng looked at his wavering expression and said, "I have observed Alex and his companions on the battlefield. Do you know why I didn't ask them for help?"

Inger knew, because they could not understand.

"I originally wouldn't tell you this. I only intended to trick you into teaching me language or something, but I didn't expect you to be more special than I thought. From what you did in the Human Slave Village, I knew that you were the only human who could understand me. You could enter my body and experience life there firsthand, seeing the scenery we saw. You are different from other humans."

Inger's teeth were trembling slightly.

He would rather not have this special thing.

When a human understands the language and emotions of chickens, will he still have the heart to butcher them?

Inger reluctantly asked, "What exactly do you want to do? Tell me clearly, I don't want to guess."

Fei Leng said bluntly: "I beg you to save us, save the innocent humans and the hybrids born from humans."

He doesn't seem to classify any pure-blooded demons as innocent.

Who defines innocence?

This demon king seems to have a somewhat naive and ambiguous understanding of war.

Inger felt that it was too heavy. He smiled sadly and said, "I don't believe you, and I can't do it."

If this is acting, the devil's acting is too good.

If he deceived the human army in the name of saving people and then captured them all in one fell swoop, he would be a real fool.

He was not so naive as to open his heart to someone just by going to that village once.

If what he said was true, then for a small figure like him who was not in the main plot at all, this task was too heavy. Moreover, he had no obligation to take on this heavy responsibility. He didn't want to go to the battlefield at all.

Fei smiled coldly: "This is normal. I understand. But——"

Inger's back tensed.

"Whether I act or not, the wall will break. 'Mother' has been hungry for many years, and she needs a new continent. You can't stop the wall from breaking, so you still have to face it."

Of course Inger knew this.

"Your goal is to save as many humans as possible, and my goal is similar, but with the addition of a hybrid. My abilities could help you a lot, don't you think?"

Fei Leng was patient and persuasive, his voice was clear and full of temptation.

It seemed to give people a magical power of conviction, as if he was really the kind of selfless person who acted to save other people's lives.

Alex was born with a good voice.

Objective threats plus incentives.

He has a natural knack for negotiation without ever having learned it.

And Inger knew clearly that if this devil stood on the opposite side of them, all the difficulties would be multiplied. He already knew them too well.

He now sincerely hoped that this devil was on their side.

Absolutely not.

Fei Leng spoke nicely.

However, just as he would fight bandits for his relatives and friends, Alex would kill enemies on the battlefield without hesitation. Fei Leng's concern is limited to the humans and demons of the Eastern Continent.

In other words, he started the war between the East and West Continents in order to use them to kill the demons. He doesn't care about the humans on the West Continent at all, and may even consider them as enemies depending on the situation.

In his first life, on the battlefield, Fei Leng was absolutely ruthless to the human army, so if necessary, he would not hesitate to kill the people of the Western Continent in order to protect his people. This had nothing to do with justice, but only with emotion.

They have common ground, but they are definitely not allies. They can use each other, but they are definitely not partners.

And this is only based on the premise that everything he said was from his heart.

After what happened between the Queen and Bisi, Inger became even more cautious.

He no longer had the energy to make the same mistake again.

Comics are not holy books, and what you see and hear are not necessarily true.

Although Inger kept looking at him with a wary look, Fei Leng was not angry at all. Instead, his expression became gentler: "No matter what choice you make, I respect you. I will never hurt you because I remember your kindness."

Inger frowned. That wasn't a favor.

Fei Leng said: "If possible, please come to our place a few more times? Teach us something else. In exchange, any behavior you have on that land will be allowed, because I will help you create such an environment."

Inger was horrified; this was tacit permission for him to gather intelligence in the past.

In fact, Fei Leng could come to possess the Western Continent by herself. As long as she had the intention and avoided Inger and Alex, it would be easy to learn anything she wanted.

Moreover, letting him go would mean putting the lives of his relatives and friends in his hands, but he couldn't gauge how much Fei Leng loved his father and sisters.

Fei Leng smiled slyly, "By the way, I can't move here while you are in my body."

This is also true. It was proven in the case of Arlene and Eric. But it does not mean that it will be the same in the future.

Inger: “…”

The conditions offered by this person made him tremble with fear.

But he knew it was a wise choice.

Because the more Inger came into contact with people from the East Continent, the more he would develop feelings for them. The more he understood them, the harder it was for him to let go. After all, he was still a human being with a conscience.

To say the least, in order to save the human beings on the Western Continent, he would not give up for his own selfish reasons.

An irresistible offer.

Inger felt that this puppet demon was even more terrifying than the one in the comics.

He thought for a while and said, "Let me think about it for a while..."

Fei sneered: "Don't think about it for too long, after all, we don't have time, and there are still many things to do."

Inger: “How do we get in touch?”

Fei Leng thought for a moment and said, "If you don't want them to be discovered, find someone who has a regular schedule and is trustworthy, and tell me his sleep schedule."

Inger: “…”

Fei Leng smiled mischievously, he also knew that it was impossible for him to make a choice.

"Okay. Then I'll go back first. I'll find time to contact you later." Fei Leng said hello and was about to jump out of the window.

Inger subconsciously grabbed his clothes, or to be exact, Alex's.

"What's wrong? Are you reluctant to let me go?"

The tone seemed as if they were already friends, one-sidedly and willingly.

Inger smiled ridiculously and shook his head, "It's okay, go ahead and don't let anyone see you."

Fei Leng fell silently from the window and disappeared into the night.

Before leaving the Duke's Mansion, he briefly possessed a night patrol knight once, and then quickly returned to Alex's body, so that he could return to the Duke's Mansion conveniently in the future. Even if the knight who was briefly possessed was awake, it would be difficult for him to realize this.

Inger stared out the window in a trance.

Why did he want to keep him here just now?

Wouldn't Alex know about this now?

Next, I have to find a way to meet Alex.

The next day, Alex returned from the meeting room in Ola and worked in his study.

When it was time for lunch, the white cat with heterochromatic eyes touched his arm with its paw and said, "It's time to eat, Your Highness."

Alex usually has a hard time noticing the time without someone reminding him, and it was Coco who reminded him before.

Alex touched Coco's head.

He used to not pay much attention to small animals and the like, but now he thinks cats are cute.

After a while, Alsophila brought in all the food and placed it on Alex's table. She specially prepared steamed fish with shaved bones and fried fish for Coco.

"Long live Sister Alsophila!" She lay down in her arms with a dried fish in her mouth.

Alsophila combed her hair gently on the sofa.

Although she was now in charge of all the chores in the palace, she had no complaints at all, and the thorns that covered her body when she first entered the palace seemed to have been cut off.

Alsophila rubripes said: "Stretch out your claws."

Coco obediently put her paw into her palm, and Alsophila carefully trimmed her nails.

Coco rested her tummy comfortably and said lazily, "Being a cat is more comfortable than being a human. It's great."

Both Alsophila and Alex laughed.

After Alsophila and the others finished eating and took the food away, Coco saw that Alex was about to go back to work, so she took the opportunity to ask.

"Your Highness, what did you do at Duke Neka's mansion last night?"
