After a brief silence.
Shinazugawa decided to change the subject.
He asked,
"Speaking of which, you've killed so many demons. Do you think all demons deserve to die?"
To put it plainly, Xia Xi's first kill today, crushing a demon's head with his bare hand,

"They're all monsters. Even if we killed every last one, it wouldn't matter, would it?"
"And they've all eaten people. They definitely deserve to die."

Kuang Jin had considered this long ago.
If a naturally kind person who had saved many lives was turned into a demon,
then committed many killings against the
