Homecoming through online games

=====================

In the middle of the night in the capital, the monsters launched another attack.This time, unlike the previous times, they retreated after a little probing, but rushed forward aggressively in large numbers, which seemed to be a real move.Flames blazed up and down the city wall, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

A soldier was hit by a sorcerer's spell, and his body fell from the city wall like a kite with a broken string, and was stepped on by several parasitic monsters, using it as a jumping point to climb up the city wall The outer wall, and the corpse lay distorted on the many corpses, becoming one of them.

During the fierce fighting, no one noticed that the pile of corpses trembled slightly.A skinny hand stretched out from it, groped around, grabbed the soldier's body, and slowly dragged it into the pile of corpses until it disappeared completely.

On the pile of corpses is the battlefield of living creatures.Under the pile of corpses is a feast for the dead.

After the meal, it raised its head from the corpse's chest.After eating continuously, it is no longer the white bones wrapped in a mass of rotten meat when it just woke up.Although pale and thin, the muscles and skin that did exist completely covered the white bones that were originally exposed.The messy long hair was filthy, but the face under it also returned to a human appearance.It's just the flesh and blood sticking to his face, which is quite terrifying.

The maddening hunger temporarily disappeared, and its stagnant thinking seemed a little more flexible.After moving its body uncomfortably, it wanted to get away from the pile of corpses.

The frozen black eyes looked up, and they met eye to eye with a dead demon corpse.It rolled its eyeballs, listening to the noise outside and the tremor of the ground.

Intuition tells it that going out now is not a good idea.

So it crouched down and waited patiently for the noise outside to disappear and silence returned.

After I don't know how long it took, after confirming that the outside was quiet, it began to climb up. It had already done this movement very skillfully, so it climbed very quickly.

Pushing away the last corpse that blocked the way, a round of moon was reflected in its always wide-open eyes.

Standing up unsteadily, it stood on the pile of corpses, creaked and twisted its stiff neck, looked around, chose a direction, and raised its feet to walk over.

There was a sudden light above the head, and a subdued voice shouted: "Hey, come here!"

It raised its head creakingly, a human head protruded from the city wall, and one arm was holding a torch, and it was raising the other palm to its mouth and calling furtively to it: "Don't be dazed! Hurry up, come here!" Immediately after, a rope dangled down from the city wall.

It looked at the human who was beckoning to it eagerly, looked at the rope, walked over to grab it, creaked and alternately grasped the hemp rope, and kicked on the wall a few times without waiting. The person on the wall pulled the rope up with all his strength, and he had already climbed to the top of the wall.

The soldier who was stepping on the city wall and trying to pull the rope back was dazed, and there was a bloody face in front of him, staring at him with lifeless eyes.At such a close distance, he could even clearly see the small half of the other's intestines dangling around the other's cheek.In addition, the rope in his hand suddenly lost its pulling weight, and he couldn't help but yelled "Mother!", and fell back heavily on a buttock, and immediately grinned in pain.

"What's the matter?!" Another tall and strong soldier who was leaning aside to take a nap, with a blood-oozing bandage wrapped around his arm, jumped up and rushed over to ask.

The soldier chattered his teeth, moved back, pointed at it, and couldn't speak.

The tall and strong soldier looked up and was startled.He picked up the torch on one side and approached it, and then took a closer look, then patted it on the shoulder with a "hi" and said, "Don't be surprised, he is dazzled."

Then he turned his head and said to the soldier on the ground: "What are you afraid of? It's people. It's all stuck on the bottom." As he spoke, he stretched out his rough fingers, and took off the half of the dangling intestines from its face, and smoothly toss aside.

The soldier on the ground watched helplessly, "Gudong" swallowed a lot of saliva, and managed not to faint from the fright.

"Let's go, I'll take you to wash your face." The strong soldier put his uninjured arm on its shoulder, and said with a pinch of its shoulder, saying with emotion, "Poor thing, you are so skinny!" .It’s also thanks to you that you survived the chaotic battle just now, tsk tsk.”

He walked it with him, creaking and turning his head to look at the Adam's apple that was sliding up and down as he spoke, his eyes fell on the blood-oozing arm, and he fluttered his nostrils.

I'm not hungry yet, but I really want to eat.

The soldier listened to it for a while and didn't respond. He turned his head and saw its sight.So he patted it on the shoulder vigorously, and said: "Don't be afraid, what did you say that sentence? Oh yes, if you survive a catastrophe, you must have a future blessing! I think you are a hard-fated man." He stopped, Press down on its head and say, "Look down." Press the head creakingly into a ninety-degree angle.

They had gone down the wall, and there was a well in the corner.The soldier went to the well and easily raised the bucket with one hand, scooped out a ladle of water, walked over and splashed it on its head.

It creaked and raised its head, and the water flow meandered down, washing away the blood and minced meat, and the pale skin was exposed between the long black hair sticking to the face.

Someone on the city wall shouted to this side, and the soldier responded loudly, "Here we come!", while stuffing the water ladle into its hand, and said, "You can wash yourself. Take the time to sleep later, who knows When will those bastards come again?" He coughed, spit out a mouthful of phlegm to the side, and cursed.

There was another cry on the city wall, and the soldier responded loudly, "Here we come!", patted it on the shoulder, and said, "Now that the army is in turmoil, it is fate to meet you alive. I think your clothes are quite torn. Bring me the cloth, and your good luck." He tore a piece from the rag clothes that were too dirty to see its original color and wrapped it around his wrist, saying, "Go back and kill those bastards, If we are still alive, I will treat you to a drink."

There was another curse on the city wall, and the soldier yelled "Here we come!!!" and said to it: "Okay, let's go, have a good rest, look at this cold hand." He ran up the city wall.

It stood holding the gourd with its stiff fingers.The cold water drilled into the clothes along its neck and flowed over the same cold chest.It creaked and turned its head, and when it saw the bucket by the well, it walked over and looked inside.

Under the moon, the water in the bucket was slightly rippled by the wind.It is clearly a dim environment, but in its eyes, every detail is clearly visible.It looked at the face reflected in the water and felt a little impressed, so it tried to recall it.

It straightened up creakingly, opened its bloodless lips, followed the pronunciation in its hoarse voice, and slowly read: "Ye..."

"Ye Mu?" A female voice called out in surprise.

It turned its head in a daze, and there was a cluck in its neck, as if it had been twisted, but it didn't feel any pain, so it didn't matter.Luo Ying's beautiful figure in white was reflected in those dark eyes.

At this time, the moon came out from behind the thin clouds, and the moonlight was extraordinarily bright for a while.Under the bright moonlight, it stood there, looked at Luo Ying for a moment, then turned around suddenly, and ran away.Because he turned around too quickly, his neck clicked again and he was straightened.

It didn't know why it ran, but what was certain was that it didn't want to see this woman.

Seeing her makes him feel bad.A different kind of discomfort than being squeezed in a pile of corpses.

Luo Ying subconsciously chased after him, but the other party ran faster and faster, and gradually began to distance himself slowly.Thinking of the information that she wanted to tell Jian Lin as soon as possible, she had no choice but to stop and walk back quickly, but she couldn't stop thinking about the face she saw just now under the moonlight.

Gathering information is the basic skill of the Palace of Seven Kills, and she is very sure that she did not admit the wrong person.The face half covered by the black hair was indeed Ye Mu's face.

But now that I think about it, that person's body is too thin. Unless he takes medicine, even if he doesn't eat or drink, it will be difficult for him to become so thin in just a few days.At a glance, it is impossible to determine whether the other party is Yi Churong, but no matter what the situation is, it means unknown variables.

Hope it doesn't cause trouble.The current capital has enough internal and external troubles.

Thinking of the information that another large army of monsters was coming to the capital, Luo Ying sighed in his heart.

At this time, it ran into an alley, and when it realized that Luo Ying hadn't chased after it, it slowly stopped.

It muttered to itself: "Ye... Mu?"

Ye Mu sneezed in his sleep.Ye Ming grunted, closed his eyes and stretched out his small hand to pat him comfortingly.One big and one small slept soundly head to head.

It stood in that alley for a while, vaguely, as if remembering something.Turning its head and looking around, it ran fast again, making a series of creaking sounds.

After a while, it climbed over the courtyard wall and landed in a courtyard.

The owner here seems to have not been home for several days, and weeds have grown on the path he often walks.It looked up at the big tree in the yard, went around and walked all the way to the kitchen.

Cold pot and cold stove, a thin layer of dust fell on the stove.It crouched down, rummaged through, and found half a bag of rice.In its mind, it thought that this should be something edible, but it felt that it had no interest in it. After staring at it for a while, it finally put it down, got up and walked out.

All the way to the master's bedroom, it opened the door and went in.The bedding was neatly folded on the bed, and there was no one in the room.It stood by the bed for a while, creaked on the bed and lay down flat, its dirty clothes were stained with a large pool of dirty marks on the mattress.

It had no concept of sleep, but for the first time closed its eyes that had been open all the time without blinking.

So, it really had a "dream".

A bizarre dream is a person's life.

When the morning light first shines, the eyes that reopened have regained their sense and sobriety.

It sat up, looked around the room, and sneered hoarsely, mockingly.After getting off the bed, I rummaged around and found several sets of clothes.

Raise the fire and boil the water.The rushing hot water was poured into the bathtub, and the steaming steam engulfed people's eyebrows and eyes.The original clothes were torn off and discarded on the ground, took a shower, and got up.Even after taking a hot bath, the thin body was still pale and cold.After wiping and changing clothes, the wet black hair fell loose, and it walked out of the room barefoot.

When it came to the stove, it looked at the bright flames dancing in the stove, stretched the muscles on its face, and showed a stiff smile.

It walked back under the big tree, looked up at the verdant branches and leaves of the tree, and after looking at the bird's nest for a moment, it brought the torch in its hand closer to the root of the tree.

The beeping sound was very low at first, and it patiently watched the little spark gradually spread, and finally burned up, swarming up and devouring the entire tree.

The billowing thick smoke drowned the original emerald green branches and leaves, and the birds fluttered their wings in panic and flew up, screaming and chasing after the thick smoke with their teeth and claws, and fled from their originally peaceful homeland.The house on one side also burst into flames, creaking and collapsing!

It left the alley, leaving behind the courtyard that had turned into a raging fire.Amidst the beating of gongs and drums and the shouts of panic from the residents, it has a smile that has become very natural on its face.

It was night, in the demon camp stationed outside the capital, a long-awaited guest ushered in.

"The agreed time has passed long ago, you are late." The demon howled dissatisfied.

"I've encountered some trouble." The man in black armor casually said this in demon language, with a polite smile showing under the black mask.

"Well, I didn't come here to see you. Tell me, where is the priest?"

"Master Priest said that what you want is in Baicaotang." The demon waved his hand and howled mockingly, "Go, you are not needed here anymore. When you come back, we will be here." What...? I met you in the 'capital'."

"That's really a pity, we probably won't see it again." He sighed melancholy, and the knife flashed.

The long knife pierced through the monster's head. He pulled out the knife, picked up the fallen body of the monster, and asked it with a smile, "You think so."

Those eyes were indifferent and cold, devoid of any human emotion.

He walked to the map in the tent, touched the whole hanging human skin with his pale fingers, slid across the painted Changyi, Shengyang and the capital city, and finally stopped at Xiliang.

"Fish that slipped through the net..." He laughed, "It's worth looking forward to."

At the same time, in Xiliang, Ye Mu looked at the capital city on the map in front of him, and the green dot representing Ye Nuan that was getting closer to the capital city, calculated the approximate time when she would arrive in the capital city, and put away the map.

The conversation yesterday ended with Ye Nuan maintaining the original schedule.

"This is very important to me" was Ye Nuan's reply.

The situation is quite familiar, and perhaps it is worth consoling that, compared to Ye Cang who blindly believed that silence is golden at that time, this time he has more or less received an answer that can be regarded as a reason?

Absolutely not.

When he told Ye Nuan that he was planning to go back to the capital to have some kind of support with her, he got three consecutive "no" without hesitation and a "absolutely not", that kind of feeling was terrible.He almost wanted to call Jia Luo to fly overnight to catch up with this girl and give her a good lesson.

He did almost do that, but before deciding to leave, he calmed down and thought about it, and even though it was late at night, he directly woke up Ye Cang with a private chat.

When Ye Cang's green dot suddenly became active, he turned around the map several times without a word, and then began to answer seriously.

And Ye Cang's advice is - "Be sure to listen to her"

This sentence was carefully repeated twice by Ye Cangzai, which shows that he is serious about this matter.

so be it.

On the bright side, the people who accompanied Ye Nuan were the elite disciples of the Beidou Camp and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Dynasty, so it should be safer.

Ye Mu carefully told Ye Nuan some precautions, especially after telling him to keep a distance from that prince, and cut off contact.

I haven't seen her since I was an adult, and I don't know what she looks like.

Ye Mu compared the little girl who was so clingy before, wishing she could grow on her body, and the daughter who kept saying "no" "no" and "no" now.

Sure enough, he was badly affected by the green snake back then.He thought rather uncomfortably.

Not to mention the minor commotion in the demon camp outside the capital when a general was found dead in its own tent.The elite united army that was sent to besiege the Beidou Camp finally arrived at the capital, and attacked desperately, forcibly tearing open the encirclement of demons, and finally got in touch with the capital.The general of the demon army hurriedly asked for instructions from Lord Priest, but the reply he received was the same "stand still", looking forward to such a piece of fat but unable to eat his mouth, listening to his colleagues enjoying themselves in various parts of the Central Plains, heartbroken Gritting his teeth with hatred, the resentment towards the priest can almost materialize.

And the connection established by this army just happened to be convenient for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had returned with dozens of Beidou camp disciples, to enter the capital after the Beidou camp settled their suspicions.When entering the capital through the territory where the army was stationed, the expressions of the people on both sides were very subtle.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see why His Highness the Prince hurried to the Beidou camp this time.The demon army is raging everywhere in the Central Plains. To drive them out of the Central Plains, a large number of middle and high-level generals who are proficient in military affairs and good at using soldiers must be needed.The dynasty also opened academies, which also taught military-related knowledge.But after all, talking about war on paper is nothing compared to the experience gained in actual combat - all the disciples of the Beidou Camp have been on the battlefield and killed monsters.Every year, the Beidou Camp sends a group of disciples to Changning Pass to enlist in the army for training. The officials don’t say anything on the surface, but they also speculate in their hearts. This is probably the real reason why King Anshun was recalled to the capital before——Although this prince and Beidou Ying didn't have any personal relationships, but with such a relationship, the emperor would definitely still feel guilty.

In short, this group of Beidou camp disciples who were almost designated as traitors and besieged before may become their colleagues or even their immediate bosses in less than two days... These soldiers don't believe that each of them can be like King Anshun So loyal to the emperor and patriotic without complaint or regret, even if his own son was beheaded, he could still support the imperial power conscientiously.

In the army, there was an undercurrent surging faintly.
