Fantasy Country, late at night, deep in the Monster Forest.

"Would it be better not to see those two people again?" Lumiya stood dumbly under the tree, looking at Yakumoji in a questioning tone.

"Hey~" Yakumo Zi nodded and looked at Lumia with a calm look.

"I, I don't know what you mean." Lumia covered her mouth and gasped and looked at Yakumozu in a hoarse voice.

Yakumozu didn't say anything, and her face covered by the fan could not see any expression. She just raised her hand gently, stretched out her index finger and pointed at Lumiya's abdomen, where a "gurgling" sound was making.

Lumia seemed to realize something, and her pupils that had shrunk to the extreme began to tremble, and her eyes were filled with fear.

"Ala." Yakumozu's eyelids closed slightly and said softly: "I look hungry, but isn't it strange?"

"You, have you eaten just now?" Yes, right at the door of the shrine, with Ling Meng and grandma, eating all kinds of snacks that Elliko brought back from the celebration.

"Hu...hu..." Lumia's hands began to tremble slightly. She seemed to not want to continue listening, but for some reason, her feet seemed to sprout, making her unable to leave her where she was.

"No... did you notice something a little too?" Yakumo Zi asked back at Lumiya's almost desperate expression.

"Ha...ha..." Lumia's breathing became more and more rapid, and her clothes were already wet with sweat, but on the contrary, her hands were extremely cold.

"What you really have to eat is..." Yakumo Ziwei closed her eyes and looked at the ground, coldly. But she said firmly: "Boli..."

"Shut up!!!" Lumia roared out, then she fell to the ground with heavy breath. At this time, a black gap slowly cracked open on the ground, and a skull was exposed from the gap. It was one of the countless people eaten by Lumia.

"Yes... the one you really have to eat is that..." Yakumozu said slowly, "Human..."

Monster Forest. A small bonfire was burning on the side of a small road, and there were a few fish on the side of the fire, and Lumiya, who had no expression on her face and looked at the ground with her knees in her hands, looking at the fire in front of her.

Her mind was echoing what Yakumoto said to her before--

"You are having a brocade symptom~" Yakumozu stood on the ground, looking at Lumia who was sitting on the ground, and said.

"What is that?" Lumia raised her head with a desperate expression. What is that, why... why... why... why... why she has never heard of it?

"You are a monster, a human-eating monster, so no matter how much you eat other things, it will not become the food for your survival." Yakumo Jun said the fact smoothly and cruelly: "No other monsters are left for now, and if you continue to eat people, you will die..."

"..." Lumia slowly lowered her head, and a lot of sweat dripped from her face to the ground, while Yakumo Zi said with her hands crossed her chest: "The reason I used to warn you to eat people was because you were eating endlessly, but if you were a 'person' who combined the conditions I specified, it would be fine to eat."

"Your limit is quite close. If you reach the limit, you can't even suppress the urge to eat people by yourself. At that time, you will definitely eat the people in your sight without any difference." Yakumozu said slowly, then closed his eyes and said, "You think about it carefully. I will give me a reply next time I come."

Before leaving, Yakumoji left a sentence: "If you want to see those three people, the answer is very obvious."

……………………

Looking at the fire in front of him, Lumia lowered her head and whispered: "Ahh, I really want to see you...but..."

Lumia lowered her head, as if she was imagining something-

If, if I go back to me at that time, Lumia, the giant cannibal monster.

His hands were covered with human blood, and his belly was filled with human flesh and blood.

So, I... am I still qualified to walk with Lingmeng and them with a smile?

No...sure, no...

Lumia's eyes were wet, tears flowed down her cheeks. She looked at the fire, and Ling Meng's smile seemed to be reflected in it.

"I really want to... go back quickly..."

———————————————————————————————————————————

Monster Forest, during the day.

It was raining in the sky, so the fire had been extinguished, and the ground around it was full of fish bones. Lumia held her stomach with both hands and collapsed weakly on the ground. Her stomach made a "gurgling" sound, and the violent hunger made Lumia moan in pain.

Not far away, a black gap was facing here. Yakumo and another blonde girl stood in a black space, observing Lumia lying on the ground through this gap.

"She is too dangerous. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to let go of it?" the girl looked at Yakumo and asked, "If something unexpected happens, maybe many humans will be sacrificed for her like she did at that time."

She is the Shikigami of Yakumo Zi, the nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Yakumo Blue, and Yakumo Zi.

"..." Yakumoto's closed eyes slowly opened and whispered: "No...isn't it right..."

"She, Lumia, to be precise, she didn't eat humans, well, or did she rely on things like 'cannibalism' or 'devouring human flesh and blood' to survive."

"She is the 'Xiaoan monster', a monster that lives in the darkness of human hearts, so it is better to say that it is devouring human darkness than eating people."

What is darkness? Negative emotions, terror, greed, anger, fear... These are all darkness of human beings, and these emotions must be housed in human bodies before they can exist. Therefore, if Lumia wants to devour this darkness, she must eat people.
