The daily life of non-human beings traveling through time and space

The night is getting darker.

No one in the courtyard moved or made a sound.

Until Kurokoye trembled all over, closed his eyes in pain, grabbed his scalp with his ten fingers, collapsed to his knees, and let out a roar mixed with anger and confusion.

He vented like this for a long time before he slowly stood up from the ground. His voice was hoarse and out of tune before he calmed down: "Impossible? I don't believe it..."

"Hei Muye, are you alright?" Qian Shuyuan and others tentatively approached, expressing deep concern about his state.

Shi Yue just simulated what he had experienced at the city lord of Fengcheng before in the way of illusion, and for Hei Muye, the effect was as good as being there.

Except for the fact that the city lord blew himself up to take refuge in the Kwai Moen star, Shi Yue almost didn't miss anything else.

"Those are all true. How about it, are you still satisfied with what you saw?" Shi Yue said sharp words in a cool voice.

Probably this kind of attitude is too common for "demons". Except for Kurokiha who was so stimulated that he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, Qian Shuyuan and the others all looked as if they were used to it and didn't take it for granted.

"Didn't you find out about the monster you enshrined at all?" Shi Yue said with a low smile mockingly: "Its summoner is being robbed of his life all the time, maybe he will die on the spot for no reason at the next moment." thing?"

"You trust and reverence the city lord, and you have never paid attention to the lives of you wind guards. Ah, you don't seem to treat you as human beings. You are only used as useful tools until the last bit of value is squeezed out..."

"What?" Qian Shuyuan and the others couldn't help being surprised when they heard such a secret.

Kurokonoha didn't refute Shi Yue's words, but just stood there stiffly, as if roots had grown under his feet.

interesting.When I think of it more faintly.

The fact that the city lord of Fengcheng took Fengwei's life to make up for himself, the reason why he kept it a secret for so many years without being exposed by anyone, is not only because the insiders couldn't compete with him——

The demon named Liang Ji is really proficient in how to sign this kind of compulsory life-trading contract with other people skillfully, and can make the contract itself 'secret' enough.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful Liang Ji is, the human-faced spider itself, the monsters enshrined by the wind guards will sooner or later be able to use the fact that the vitality of the summoner is slowly weakening, reverse reasoning, and use this to find out the problem——

After all, no monster would like to have their summoner's life threatened at all times, and they don't want to be sent back to their original place.

But the actual situation is that there are not many people/demons who have found something wrong in the past few decades, and it can even be said to be very rare.

If Shi Yue's body is not a god, then it may be extremely difficult to find the lifelines that connect the hearts of the wind guards.

It was precisely because there were no ifs that he discovered the clue when he saw the Fengwei team who came to pick them up outside the deserted village for the first time.

At that time, he asked Xiu Mi on the carriage, "Do you admire the Santo lord very much?" He wasn't just looking for something to say——

Although it was a long time ago, Shi Yue has indeed seen many such evil life contracts in various forms.

Although Hei Muye said it was impossible at the beginning, but judging from his subsequent reaction, he believed it at least [-]%.

No matter how perfect the city lord's cover-up is, there will always be some clues that he didn't think about carefully over the years, but now he suddenly realizes when he recalls the truth after knowing the truth.

"I wasn't going to stay," Shi Yue thought in his heart, looked at Qian Shuyuan and the others, and said in a long voice, "but now I've changed my mind."

"I have a game, and I need you to test the playability."

Cold sweat broke out on Qianshuyuan's forehead. He had a faint feeling that the silver-haired monster had no intention of harming their lives. He didn't seem to care much about Kurokiyo's attack on him. Instead, he didn't know what he had done to make him Kurokiha knew some "things", so it can be said that his behavior was quite friendly...

But in an instant, he told them that they were asked to test the playability of a certain game, what kind of game?How to test?Will something happen?What happens if you don't play?

Playing games with monsters...

It will only make people feel uneasy, like walking on eggshells.

"Qianshu, what should we do?" Someone turned his head and whispered to Qianshuyuan: "Do you want to fight him!"

"...I don't want to play the game of monsters, so I just..."

"Brother Yuan?"

Qian Shuyuan signaled them to keep silent, the silver-haired demon could not be dealt with by them, if they really angered the other party, it would probably lead to the worst consequences.

He was thinking, and Lang Sheng said to the roof: "Can we know what game it is?"

I want to procrastinate as much as possible, but I also want to understand what the game is. If I have to play, I can only try my best to win the game.

Shi Yue recalled a past experience.

Among the planes he traveled, there was a world where almost all the people were addicted to online games.

It was a holographic online game, with a high degree of simulation, not much different from reality, but richer and more colorful than reality, all-encompassing, magnificent, thrilling and exciting...

It is called the "Second World" by the people there.

And as more and more people want to devote their energies to the second world almost day and night, the social structure there has gradually changed a lot. In addition to eating, drinking, sleeping, and reproduction methods, other things include studying and working. And communicate with people, etc., mostly directly in the second world.

The energy that Shi Yue needs to collect in this world cannot be separated from other lives, or strictly speaking, it cannot be separated from people.

To collect the love from others and the desire derived from love, if you do it a little bit, even if his current race form has great advantages and can naturally confuse people's hearts, it will take a long time, and you have to work with Many, many people meet, touch...

Speaking of which, the illusion created by this race is extremely real——

In fact, he can give it a try, expand the scope of the illusion, include all life forms within a certain distance around it, try to incorporate elements similar to online games, tell them a "story", and then assign some "tasks", and arrange them from time to time Mirage created its own "□□" to contact them, so as to continuously collect the energy it needs.

"This is... a game that is more real than real, and more illusory than unreal." Shi Yue paused: "The key is how the people who play this game think about it."

"If you think it's true, it's true to you, and if you think it's false, then it's false."

A group of people couldn't understand and became more and more uneasy.

There are a few who don't want to stay where they are anymore, and participate in this kind of true and false games, directly using the power borrowed from the monsters they enshrine, or running out at high speed, or dodging to hide in deeper shadows with the help of others. The shadow teleports, or jumps in the air, or transforms into a bird and flies away... all kinds of attempts to escape directly.

Shi Yue didn't stop him, he just stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

The crisp "click" sound seemed to ring in the ear, making everyone's heart beat wrongly, and then -

The darkness in front of him was suddenly dispelled by the light. Under the sun, everything in front of him seemed to be dyed with a layer of blinding golden light. There were no corpses of bandits and other miscellaneous things in the courtyard, and everything was clean and tidy.

Feeling the warmth of the sun on their bodies, as if everything they had experienced before was just a dream.

Qian Shuyuan looked around blankly, and what caught his eyes was the inconceivably stunned faces of his teammates.

"Oh, it's dawn??"

"……what happened?"

"Are we dreaming?"

Behind him, the closed courtyard door was pushed open, and a figure in a white robe walked in. Under the sunlight, the silver-haired demon was so fine that he was as dazzling and beautiful as a god——

Before this, Qian Shuyuan and his group were also extremely amazed by the silver-haired monster's turn around, but after all, the sky was dark at that time, and it was definitely not as clear as it is now, and the shock it gave was not the same.

What's more, the silver-haired demon is also unusually powerful. Ordinarily, such a powerful and beautiful existence should only make people subconsciously breathe lightly, not daring to have a hint of blasphemy...

But in fact, the more they looked at the silver-haired demon, the more they felt admiration, and the closer they got to him, the more passionate their desire became.

At the moment when the sight of the silver-haired monster and Qian Shuyuan looked at each other briefly, Qian Shuyuan couldn't help his throat move slightly, his eyes were a little red, he opened his mouth to speak...

No one knows what he wants to say.

Because in the next second, the silver-haired demon looked away indifferently.

He seemed to be thinking about something, while looking at everyone, he slowly approached them, every step he took was like stepping on the apex of the viewer's heart——

But just as the two sides were about to touch each other, they retreated gracefully.

Even if he didn't do anything, just being so vaguely indifferent is enough to make people fascinated.

what.

Shi Yue suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes were fixed on a handsome middle-aged man with pale temples and a vicissitudes of life.

He hadn't looked carefully at Qian Shuyuan's group before, and only after entering the illusion did he realize that this person was a little unusual.

Everyone was paying attention to the silver-haired monster, and of course followed his gaze to look at this man.

Qian Shuyuan recalled it in particular. He only remembered that this person was named Wuying, and he was temporarily arranged to come to his team. In the past few days, he didn't seem to speak much, and he also killed monsters. This person didn't pay any extra attention.

Shi Yue looked back at the middle-aged man.

He said to the group of people in a peaceful tone: "This is a small village without a name. Today, in this village, a very bad thing happened. A group of vicious and murderous evil gangsters are eyeing here , they sneaked into the village and slaughtered the villagers."

"Your mission is to deal with this group of gangsters before dark, to rescue these villagers from their hands, and prevent them from dying innocently."

The group was stunned.

...Wait, it's true that this village has been attacked by bandits, but haven't the bandits been killed?

Moreover, this is the game that the silver-haired monster wants them to play?How does it feel weird...

"The mission location is limited to the village, and no one can leave until the game is over."

Shi Yue concluded: "I wish you all a good time."

The voice fell, and the person disappeared before their eyes.

Before the group of people came back to their senses, they heard footsteps outside the courtyard, and then a man walked into the courtyard.

"You guys! Who are you! Why are you in my yard?" The man looked at them in panic, his expression gradually becoming terrified: "Could it be...you are gangsters?"

Qian Shuyuan and others: ...

Although I don't know what the situation is now, but——

"No, we came from the outer city, passing through this village..." Qian Shuyuan took a deep breath: "I heard that there are bandits in your village, and I came here to help you... By the way, I don't know who you are... "

"I am the village head of this village." The man's eyes were still full of suspicion: "You, you are really warriors from the outer city? How do you know that there are bandits in our village...and even entered my yard..."

……

In the imaginary territory, the scorching sun was in the sky, and Qian Shuyuan and the others were communicating with the "village head" in a dazed and awkward manner.

This is an experimental game. Shi Yue controls the illusion to form a self, the same silver-haired white robe, and try to divide it into two, two into four, four into eight... and then return to one.

While weaving, manipulating and guiding the situation and development of the illusion like this, Shi Yue calculated the time and found that more than half a month had passed since sending Xiumi to the tower world...

If Xiumi is still alive, he will be about 26 or [-] years old at this moment, and Xiao A will bring him back when the time is right.

And if he dies in the tower, little A will of course rush back to Shi Yue's side immediately.

Thinking of this, Shi Yue poked his lips expressionlessly.
