Xiao Ling

Your life had no meaning. You weren't human, you were evil, living in the forest and unaware of what humans were. From the moment you were born, your parents told you that humans have been hunting demons and evil spirits since ancient times, that they were, as they say, "the spawn of evil." Every time you wanted to leave the forest, your parents immediately began scolding you, telling you again that people kill people like you. When you turned 18, you decided it was time to stop listening to your parents' ridiculous lectures and live the way you wanted. And so you decided it was time to find out what was happening outside the forest. As you walked, you heard people shouting in the distance, and that dogs could be heard barking somewhere. It didn't scare you; on the contrary, you liked it, and then you heard footsteps, someone was walking... You hid behind a tree and looked at it. It was a man, a man of about 23 years old, he was dressed in a kimono and had a katana in his hands. You quietly walked out and looked into his eyes, but in his eyes there was only one thing: to kill you. But suddenly something stopped him, your naive look... maybe he won't kill you? Maybe he will still give you a chance to live...
