About the fact that I found the Demon King

Bart couldn't believe what he saw.

That person turned out to be the messenger.

He felt so shocked, he didn't know what to do for a while, he hesitated for a long time, and saw that the other party was already lying down under the bridge hole, and his movements were so skillful that it made people feel distressed.

Bart was in a trance the whole way home.

After returning home, he stared at the fog for a long time, until he couldn't understand it: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Bart shook his head without answering, and then lay down to sleep with a heavy heart.

the next day.

After finishing his work, he made an excuse to go out, and then followed Wu secretly, and found that Wu really went to buy wine behind his back, and then secretly finished drinking outside before returning home.

However, it seems that because a bottle of wine is too much for him, Fog is obviously drunk after drinking.

Bart was worried that he would be in danger, so he could only go forward and carry him home after he fell asleep.

After returning, he checked Wu's deposit box, and found that there was indeed more than nothing in it.

After letting go of the fog, he went out again, waiting behind a hidden bush near yesterday's bridge hole.

When the sun was about to set, the messenger named Peiou came back.

The other party did not lie down to sleep after washing his face, but found some tools, as if he was making something.

With his good eyesight, Bart saw some plants around Peo.

He originally thought that it must be something that the messenger used to harm people, but after careful observation, he found that the thing made by the messenger named Pei Ou turned out to be medicinal materials for people to cure diseases.

Just in these two days, Bart and his masters had just completed a noble order in their hands, and before they started the next order of building a house, they got a three-day vacation.

So Bart just took this opportunity to use his three-day vacation to follow the messenger named Peo. He wanted to know what he was doing around here, and what was his relationship with the fog.

At first, he was worried that the other party was carrying out some terrible conspiracy.

After tracking the event until the next day, he discovered that the emissary Peo was actually practicing medicine in the small town and making money from the medicine he made. If he hadn't ignored the disguised face of the other party, he would have thought that I have identified the wrong person.

In the past few days, he even made money for Peo's hard work, but he was moved by his spirit of spending almost nothing.

Peo is really working hard to make money, and his service attitude has even earned him a good reputation in the town, and every time he will carefully save the money he earns, and then every two days, Go to that alley and give all the money you have worked so hard to earn to Wu.

If Bart hadn't seen him use a little concealed magic power to beat those little bastards until his mother didn't recognize him when he was robbed one day, he would have really believed that Peo was just an ordinary doctor .

According to observation, Wu and he obviously knew each other, and they had a good relationship.

Maybe I misunderstood before, but Peo actually didn't kidnap Mist from the beginning.

Then, regarding the identity of the fog, there is only one answer.

After he had the answer in his heart, Bart kept thinking about how he would talk to Wu, and after he revealed Wu's identity, what would he do, should he report them?

No, he absolutely cannot do such a thing.

For Bart now, it's no big deal for Fog to steal a drink every day.

Should he let the fog go away, or tell the brave man?

In this way, Wu spent his three-day vacation, and then they started working to make money again.

He didn't know whether he should happily think that maybe after finishing this year, he and Wu could save enough money to build a small house for himself.

On the night of the last day of vacation, he pretended to mention this matter to Fog, but Fog kicked the quilt several times happily, and kept telling Bart in his ear that there must be something in the house.

Bart thought in his heart that Wu's character is really as pure as a child's. Although he sometimes has a very poisonous mouth and often deliberately speaks to make people annoying, but generally speaking, Wu has never done anything bad.

Thinking of these, a certain balance in his heart gradually tilted.

But these were still not enough for him to make up his mind.

Until a sunny day came a few days later.

When Bart got up this morning, he remembered that Grandma Maxine, who opened the bakery, hadn't opened the door for a long time, and there was no routine of going to her to thank her every morning with Mist. During this time, he always felt that something was missing in his life.So he decided to inquire about it.

He went to the door of the bakery with Wu, and found that the bakery was not open today.

Wu also obviously complained a little unhappy: "Come again, is the owner of this shop lazy today?"

Bart knows that Wu likes the desserts that Grandma Maxine sends every time. He hasn't eaten desserts in the past few days, and he will talk about them from time to time.

The uncle at the shop next to the bakery saw them and asked curiously, "Are you waiting for Grandma Maxine?"

Bart hurriedly asked: "Yes, do you know why she didn't open the door recently? We are her regular customers and received a lot of attention from her before. Now that he hasn't opened the door for so long, we are a little worried about her and want to ask if she is what happened."

The uncle sighed and said: "You don't know, Grandma Ma Kexin was ill not long ago, and her illness became more and more serious. In addition, she was too old, so just a few days ago, She has passed away. Well, young man, if you want to send Grandma Ma Kexin the last time, her funeral ceremony will be held in the morning of the day after tomorrow. It will be held on the second hillside in the western suburbs, and there will be many people there Will go, after all, she was really a good person before she was alive..."

The uncle also babbled a lot, but Bart couldn't hear it very clearly.

For a while, he couldn't accept that such a lively person had left the world.

It turned out that every morning, when he and Wu went to thank Grandma Ma Kexin, Grandma Ma Kexin would smile very kindly.He could tell that Grandma Ma Kexin really liked the fog.After all, others have never had free cakes and desserts every day.

Later, on the way to work, Fog seemed to be a normal person, and Bart asked him, "Don't you feel sad?"

Fog didn't understand: "Is it because one person died? Should I feel sad? Why? There are so many people in the world, and everyone will die. No matter who dies, it will not affect the normal operation of the world." .”

Bart looked at him: "But in the future, I will never eat Grandma Maxine's bread again."

Fog replied indifferently: "But we can still eat bread every morning. It's no different from before, isn't it? Many human beings die every day in the world, but after they die, everything is still the same. You see , Has this street changed a little because of her death? It hasn't changed, right, if it hasn't, then what is there to be sad about?"

Bart felt that he could not understand him.

He had to admit that after hearing what Wu said, he felt a little cold in his heart.

He suddenly thought, if one day he died, would Wu have the same expression of not caring at all.

He couldn't help but began to feel sad.

In Fog's eyes, Bart has become silent since he heard that the bakery's grandma passed away.

Although Bart usually doesn't talk much, it will never make him feel dull.

Fog didn't like Bart like this, he felt a little bored, and even asked to hang out with Bart, but Bart rejected him in a depressed mood.

Fog felt very unhappy, so he simply ran out to find Peiou, talked to Peiou, and asked Peiou to make him happy.But the whole process never mentioned why he was unhappy.

Even when it was agreed to work with Bart on the third day, he didn't go.Originally, he had been waiting for Bart to find him, but Bart didn't find him either.

Fog felt very angry, even a little wronged.

It's just that he doesn't know why, it's obviously just the death of a human being, and that person usually only communicates with them for less than 1 minute a day, why should Bart care so much?There are several bakeries on the street.

It wasn't until the night before the funeral that Bart took the initiative to speak: "Are you going to the funeral tomorrow?"

Wu saw that he finally spoke, and at that moment, Wu himself didn't understand why he was a little happy.

"Okay."

He almost couldn't wait to answer.

It was a neither cold nor hot weather, the sun did not rise in the sky, but it did not rain.

Grandma Ma Kexin lay peacefully in the coffin, and was buried in the soil forever.

The pastor said something during the burial and was caught by Bart.

'Death is a fate that everyone cannot escape. '

Fate...

On the way back, Bart looked at Misty's side face beside him, not knowing how to say what he had prepared.

Thinking of all the things that have happened since he lived with Wu, he felt more and more reluctance and sadness in his heart.

He made friends who were not human again.

As many years ago, a similar thing happened.

At that time, he made a firm choice, but he has been living in regret and guilt.

Now that he is no longer a brave man, he wants to be willful for a while and choose nothing.

He will not report on Wu, nor will he hurt them, he just intends to expose Wu's true identity when the time comes, presumably they will leave here by themselves.

But when will you speak...

Bart thought for a while, but couldn't make up his mind right away, so he decided to wait until tomorrow.

In the heart of getting along with the fog one day, he prepared a very rich dinner, and then bought him a bottle of wine.

Wu looked at the best wine that Bart had bought for herself, and almost thought she had gone to the wrong door.

Even Fog, who has no intentions, feels that something is wrong.

He was nervous for a while instinctively, and then he thought, even if Bart finds out that he is the Demon King, there is no need to be uneasy. After all, Bart is unable to kill anyone.

But even so, he still felt vaguely uneasy.

As a result, that night, he only drank two glasses of wine, and stopped drinking anything.Because every time he gets drunk, he feels that he will lose part of his memory.

Bart drank all the rest of his wine, and finally he said to the fog with a little drunkenness: "At the funeral, Grandma Maxine's granddaughter said that she inherited grandma's bakery and started again tomorrow It's open."

Fog didn't understand why he wanted to say something he had already heard, after thinking about it, he oh to Bart.

Bart was silent for a while, then he lay down on the table and said to Fog: "Fog, can I ask you to buy bread tomorrow morning? This is the last time..."

He spoke the last few words very softly, and Fog barely heard him, thinking that he was just asking him to buy bread, so he nodded in agreement.

Fog went to buy bread the next day, just like countless times before.

But this time it took him three times longer than usual to get back.

Bart wanted to say something while eating bread with him, but saw Fog walking back sullenly with the bread.

"What's wrong with you?" Bart asked him with a little concern.

Wu shook his head, handed the bread in his hand to Bart, then looked at Bart, and said with a sad expression: "Just now I went to the bakery and bought bread as before."

Bart looked at him, thinking that he had encountered something difficult, so he stood in front of him and asked with concern: "And then, what happened?"

Wu looked up at Bart, with an aggrieved expression on his face: "I gave her money, and she gave me bread."

"and after?"

"I stood there? But she dared to ignore me? She even asked me 'Is there anything else?' It's unbelievable that he forgot such an important thing."

Bart couldn't understand for a while: "What's important?"

Wu didn't think about why Bart couldn't understand what he said. He frowned and looked at Bart seriously: "Dessert, every time I buy bread, there will be a dessert, why didn't she give it to me today?"

Bart froze for a moment.

After a while, he sat down beside Wu, and looked directly at Wu calmly: "Wu, do you know why she stopped giving you desserts? Because...she is not Grandma Maxine, do you understand, that The person who is willing to give you desserts for free every day is gone."

Wu still didn't quite understand: "But...she inherited her grandma's bakery, since that's the case, she should also inherit all her grandma's habits, isn't it true for everyone?"

His Majesty the Demon King has many, many servants, and his servants often die and change, but every detail of his life, from clothing to food, even the habits and appearance of the servants, as long as he likes them Never changes, no matter how many servants are changed.

Words such as human beings or life actually have no meaning in his concept, nor do they have any feelings.

But today, for the first time, he felt that the death of a human had affected his life.

Bart suddenly had a feeling that Wu might not be naturally cold-blooded, but the current him, who seemed to have no idea what death was.

He said to Wu: "Fog, there are no two people who are exactly the same in the world. Even if they are relatives, although Grandma Maxine's granddaughter inherited the bakery, she cannot be exactly the same as Grandma Maxine. Although you You are right, no matter who dies, the world will still operate as usual. But... for us, there are still many differences."

Fog looked at Bart, not sure how much he understood, and after a while he asked, "Will she give me dessert in the future, when she is as old as Grandma Maxine."

Bart shook his head and explained to him seriously: "It will never be possible, Fog, the person who will give you dessert, has left forever. This is the death of people. Everyone will die."

Bart looked at Misty as if he was greatly shocked, and couldn't help but reached out and touched his head: "Fog, if you want dessert, I'll buy it for you."

Fog shook his head.

Bart's original determination was shaken again after seeing the current appearance of the fog.

Why do people force themselves to make such extreme decisions?

Perhaps, there are other ways.

……

In the evening, the two of them took a bath in the river after busy work, and Bart walked back with the tired fog on his back.

Suddenly, the fog behind him asked a somewhat inexplicable question.

"Bart, are you going to die too?"

Bart said very frankly: "Of course, everyone will die, even the demons. In this world, the only people who can't die are the God of Light and the Demon King."

Wu pursed his lips and said, "Bart, you...can't you not die?"

When he said this, his arms holding Bart's neck tightened a little nervously.

Bart was suddenly amused by his childish words, and answered dumbfoundedly: "This is not a question that I can decide on my own. If I can, maybe everyone wants to die, but this is impossible, fog, everyone will die. "

Fog didn't understand why he had such emotions, he just thought that if one day Bart died like Grandma Maxine, then Bart would disappear forever.

He could find someone who would take care of him like Bart, but that person would never be Bart any more than the baker's granny would ever send him dessert.

Although he thinks Bart is an idiot, and although he has said countless times that the first thing to do after unlocking the seal is to kill Bart, sometimes he also thinks that after he unlocks the seal, he can also It seems not bad to serve myself like this.

"Although I don't know very well, but, Wu, you will never die?"

His topic came up so suddenly that Wu Wu didn't react immediately: "What?"

Bart thought he would be nervous, but when he really said it, he found that he could be so calm.

"Wu, I saw that you met the messenger named Peiou, once every two days, in that alley. I now know your true identity."

Fog was terrified in his heart, and instinctively wanted to struggle to escape, only to hear Bart's words.

"Fog, you are actually a messenger, right?"

"……what?"
