Homecoming through online games

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

Ye Mu stopped by a fence in the demon camp.

The vast majority of monsters are nocturnal races. I don't know whether it is to cater to the general's habits or out of tactical considerations. This army's activity time is more inclined to daytime.As the sky brightened, demons came to report something to Jiang Wang from time to time.Although there is Qingguang's illusion to cover up his appearance, as a fresh face, it is still too conspicuous to stay in Jiang Wang's tent for a long time.In addition, he also wanted to know more about the situation of the monsters, so he found a free time, and after greeting Jiang Wang, he left the tent and walked around the camp.

The management of the demon army is not as disciplined as the human army, but more like a temporary alliance, chaotic and not very organized.Ye Mu's transformed demon has a terrifying appearance, and he deliberately let go of his aura. With the high-level demon aura on his armor, he looks very difficult to mess with.Therefore, even if he went to the area under the jurisdiction of a demon centurion, there would be no trouble for him without eyes.

The area where he is now is different.There are obviously more monsters around than in other areas.He could feel that as he got closer to this side, more and more eyes fell on him, both open and in the dark, with a hint of malice.

Stopped at a distance that was not enough to cause a conflict, across the gaps between the various tents, the end of Ye Mu's line of sight was the reason for the anomaly in this area.

Humanity.Humans in captivity.

Those human beings seemed to be tied hands and feet, sitting on the ground with their heads bowed one by one. It seemed that there were about a few hundred of them, crowded and crowded together.You can see monsters walking around in the crowd, and from time to time, one or two people who have not moved will be thrown out and stacked together.It is as casual as humans are picking cattle, sheep and livestock for food.

Ye Mu firmly fixed his feet on the spot. Although he had seen similar scenes several times on the way from Ye Nuan, the indescribable sense of loathing was still the same as every time before, and he couldn't restrain himself. moved up.Controlling his breathing so that he would not show any abnormality enough to be noticed by the demon, he stayed in place for a while, then turned and left.

Although monsters have a wide range of recipes, human food and various foods that humans cannot eat are on the menu, but for them, the most delicious food is human itself.Along the way, Ye Mu has not rarely seen high-level demon generals taking pleasure in cannibalism, and he has also encountered demon teams with humans as food.He had read Gu Xingyan's manuscript on the resurrection secret technique, and he knew that even if it wasn't for pleasure, Jiang Wang, a ghoul, could not cut off the supply of fresh human flesh and blood if he wanted to maintain his rationality and fighting power.But if you know what you know, seeing such a scene with your own eyes is still a kind of shock to Ye Mu.

He thought of Jiang Wang, who refused to hunt humans before, and was forced to lose his rationality, and Jiang Wang, who seemed to have changed when he met this time, and finally confirmed the source of the inexplicable anxiety in his heart since this reunion. Come.

Compared with him who spent most of his time traveling between places with Jia Luo, this time he faced the war in a down-to-earth manner for a long time. Jiang Wang has abandoned those insistences that seemed too meaningless and ideal in reality, and began to face up to the identity of a ghoul. Recognition of human beings by the standard of food, began to become... like a demon.

The figure of the demon general biting the humans that he had seen before gradually changed into the figure of Jiang Wang. Ye Mu clenched his fists, waved away that imagination, and strode out of the camp.

Jiang Wang was right, he came too slowly.But there is always something he can do.

As long as this war does not subside, the conflict between humans and demons cannot be stopped.At least he could manage to bring the end of the war to an earlier date.

Stopped in a deserted place, and after confirming that there were no monsters nearby, Ye Mu put one hand on the ground and summoned Qing Guang.

I was thinking about meeting Jiang Wang earlier, so I didn't pay much attention to it.Now, it's time to formally meet this rumored Zhenlei.

When it was recalled this time, there was no such huge movement as the last time. The golden pattern spread and formed on the surface of the ground, and the light flashed. The golden butterfly flapped its wings and transformed into a man in an instant——the clothes on his body were still the same. The one Ye Mu gave him.

He let out a deep "En?", a little uncomfortable with the sudden sunlight, and narrowed his eyes slightly—you can see from the sunlight that even his pupils are golden yellow like a beast—Qing Guang looked at Ye Mu, Said: "Ye Jun, what's the matter?"

——It seems that he really remembered what Ye Mu said before that he didn't like being called the master, and replaced it with the name "Ye Jun", which sounds much easier to accept.

Ye Mu cut to the chase and said, "Let's talk frankly, Qing Guang. I know that the Six Spirits are quite disgusted with such things as contracts because of the Demon God. Cang'er said that Zhenlei is the strongest of the Six Spirits, and deeply Know the laws of the world. As strong as you, why did you become my companion spirit? Can you really tell me the reason? The promise I said before is still valid."

Qingguang smiled inexplicably, tilted his head, and his short golden hair shone brightly in the sun.He said: "Mr. Ye, there is no need to terminate the contract. On the contrary, after hearing the reasons, can we keep the situation as it is?"

Before Ye Mu could answer, Qing Guang went on to say: "I use the power of the contract to live in order to get a closer understanding of the laws of the other world."

This is a reason that sounds mysterious, but in fact, the matter of time travel itself is already mysterious enough.Ye Mu was silent for a while, and asked, "If that's the case, how did you become my companion spirit?"

Qing Guang spread his hands and said, "This is still because of Ye Jun. Ye Jun first woke up in this world, and when he encountered the walking corpse, did he notice anything strange on the walking corpse?"

Ye Mu showed a thoughtful expression, and quickly recalled the scene when he woke up in his mind.

He never told anyone about that scene in detail, but Qing Guang was so sure that he encountered a walking corpse at that time.Unless he had some means of being able to see the scene, or at all—was he there?

Is there anything special about that walking corpse?

It is not difficult to recall the details of that time.At that time, he was still full of unexpected accidents of crossing over, hoping to find a way to return to the present world. Not only did he pay attention to remembering the surrounding situation, he even forcibly memorized the nearby terrain and terrain, in case the place was special, It is related to his time travel, so it will be easy to find him in the future.He searched carefully the walking corpse that he killed at that time, but he didn't find anything strange.

No, wait, there is one very obvious anomaly.The information that appeared in the camp at that time——

[You killed the mutated plague walking corpse and gained mercenary reputation of 15

You destroyed the body of the deceased, deducting 10 mercenary reputation]

Thinking about it now, this point deduction message appeared strangely without any reason.But it is absolutely impossible to know such details clearly.So this is... a test?A test of his system capabilities?

Ye Mu pretended not to know, frowned and said, "There doesn't seem to be anything strange about it. If you have something to say, you might as well just say it."

Qing Guang saw that Ye Mu didn't seem to be moved at all, his eyes darkened slightly, and he said, "Did Kanshui and the others tell you why you came to this world?"

This topic changed a little suddenly, but it was not completely unrelated, and it was indeed something that Ye Mu cared about very much.The tentative move he noticed before made him wary of Qingguang, but he didn't show it on the surface, and now he cooperated and said: "They didn't know the specific situation at that time, but it should be a contract with the demon god. power."

Qingguang was unexpectedly frank, and said: "When Kanshui and the others were born, both Xunfeng and I noticed that something was wrong, and it happened that the monster knocked on the gate and attacked it. The situation was urgent, and we worked together to run the Tianyan Eight Diagrams Formation. In order to control the monsters, the two hoped that with the power of the two worldly laws of Qiantian and Kundi, they could offset the influence of the alien power brought by the resurrected corpse soldiers. However, after gathering the beliefs of many demons, the alien The law of the world is unexpectedly difficult. Li Huo is not there, and one of the six spirits in the Eight Trigrams Formation is missing; The contract between monsters directly affects the operation of the formation. The superposition of these factors has actually disturbed the laws of heaven and earth. In order to preserve Kanshui, Genshan and Duize, a force from another world was dragged over—— This alien force is you."

When he said this, he paused, as if to give Ye Mu some time to digest the information he heard.After a while, he continued: "Because of the changes involved in the Tianyan Eight Diagrams Formation, Kanshui and the others directly exhausted their strength and were controlled by new powers from other worlds. Lihuo and Xunfeng also lost their strength. Although I After many years of accumulation, there is still some energy left, but unfortunately, it is near this pulling force. In order not to be affected by the law of the alien world, I had to restrain my strength and find a walking corpse indiscriminately, using the magic energy to cover up the spiritual power, Weaken the power of induction with the formation." He took a deep look at Ye Mu and said, "Unexpectedly, the walking corpse was attracted by the human breath and found you by itself. At that time, the laws of the world were in chaos, Back on track, once the walking corpse dies, there is no medium to buffer it. Fortunately, you are carrying something from the Shanshui Pavilion from another world, which can be regarded as compatible with me, so the repelling and destructive power of the power from the other world is not too strong , just relying on its laws to forcibly form such an accompanying contract."

It took Ye Mu quite a while to sort out the meaning of Qingguang's words, and calmly said: "You mean, because you don't like each other, the laws of this world and the laws of the other world brought by the demon god are on the fence. The laws of this world have the home court advantage and are powerful. They should have been able to beat the alien laws to the ground in minutes. The three children of the family were poisoned and used as hostages, and they were about to tear up tickets with poison. So the law of the world simply did not stop, and brought another unlucky guy over to mess up the situation. Throwing the three hostages to him was a solution to the problem with poison. It's a dead end game." He raised his finger and pointed at the tip of his nose, and said, "And if I'm just playing me, I'm honored to be the unlucky guy who was chosen. I understand it this way, shouldn't I be right?"

Qing Guang said without changing his expression: "I don't understand the meaning of some foreign words, but I can roughly understand what you mean. But the laws of the world have no consciousness and emotions, everything is just the result of autonomous operation, and I can't see the mystery in it." It's just in case. In common terms, it can be called 'fate'."

Even though Ye Mu was in a complicated state of mind, he almost laughed angrily when he heard this.According to Ye Cang, all the dangers he encountered in the early days were caused by the repelling force of the world's laws.That is to say, he was inexplicably pulled into this world by the laws of the world to solve the mess, and then the laws of the world turned around and began to dig a hole diligently to destroy him as an outsider. What a ruthless and unreasonable trouble!And all of this is due to that shitty fate - the implication is that no one is idle and has nothing to deliberately cheat you, who made your life bad?

He said angrily: "Fucking!"

Qing Guang wondered: "What does this mean?"

Ye Mu regained his composure, and said with a smile, "It's nothing. However, if you want to use the contract to understand the laws of the other world, you should pay some interest, right?"

Qing Guang raised his eyebrows, he was not angry when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "What kind of interest does Ye Jun want?"

It was rare to have such an opportunity before him, Ye Mu unceremoniously asked many things at once.Qing Guang really lived up to Zhen Lei's reputation of being erudite, he answered all kinds of things in detail one by one, even the information about the habits and characteristics of various monster races was so well known, it left Ye Mu with a lot of doubts.Only in the matter of demon gods, he admitted frankly that he didn't understand because the laws of other worlds were different.Ye Mu casually mentioned the Song of Resurrection of Shanshui Pavilion, which really does not exist in this world.

Between the question and answer, half a day passed without knowing it.When Ye Mu walked into Jiangwang's camp to release the illusion, Jiang Wang, who was reading a file with one hand on the table, stood up straight, and saw the difference from Ye Mu's expression after a glance, closed the file and said with a relaxed smile: " You haven't been seen for half a day, what happened?"

This question gave Ye Mu finally a chance. He walked over and hugged Jiang Wang, buried his head on his shoulders and neck, sighed heavily, and complained, "Jiang Wang, I've been tricked!" in a tone of gnashing of teeth. the taste of.

Jiang Wang raised his hand and smoothed his hair, and asked with a smile: "Oh? Which guy with no eyes did it?" He unconsciously lowered his gaze.

That kind of annoying guy, just kill him.

Ye Mu looked up at the top of the tent, as if seeing the sky outside through the tent, and said deeply and angrily, "This world."

Jiang Wang: "..."

After some nonsense, he finally let out the suffocation in his chest. Before Jiang Wang couldn't help but start "domestic violence", Ye Mu recovered and explained the cause and effect in detail.

"It turns out that there is such a reason in the middle." Jiang Wang grabbed Ye Mu's wrist, glanced at the pattern of the golden butterfly, and reminded, "Since the laws of the world are repelled by the laws of other worlds, your three children will also Forget it, a natural spiritual creature like Zhenlei who has no friendship with you has yet to know what you think of a visitor from another world. It is willing to be driven by you, which may not be the reason stated on the surface, or it may have other plans .When you deal with it on a daily basis, remember to be careful."

Ye Mu said: "I have thought about this too, don't worry, I will pay attention."

After talking about this, Ye Mu said seriously: "Jiang Wang, you said before that if the monsters leave the southeast wasteland for too long, they will become weak and need to return to the wasteland to recuperate. From your point of view, the distance from the one who had to return Critical value, how long is there?"

Without thinking about it, Jiang Wang replied, "How long you can stay depends on the ability of the monster. The stronger the monster, the longer it can stay. According to the level of most monsters, there are still less than three months. After a pause, he said, "However, demons can prolong their stay by devouring their own kind. There is a short-lived but very easy-to-conceive 'porpoise demon' from the priest, which can give birth to more than a dozen offspring each time. The army with excellent military exploits is eaten. The army with supplies can stay for at least half a year."

He looked at Ye Mu and asked keenly, "You ask this, are you planning to intervene?"

Ye Mu glanced at the map, looked back at Jiang Wang and said, "Before you said that the demon army obeys the demon god, and the demon god's orders are delivered through the priest. If I try to kill the priest, what do you think?" how?"

"You want to kill the priest?" Jiang Wang pondered for a moment, then Fang said, "There is something I didn't tell you. The demon general I met when I was He Liang was actually the priest. Now I have This group of monsters can be said to be its direct army. The sorcerer I killed before is the monster sent by the priest to control me in the army."

"Is there any trouble?" Ye Mu asked.

"It's nothing to worry about, it's just an exchange of interests. It won't turn against me at a time like this. After all, it doesn't really have many troops under its control." Jiang Wang said indifferently, "Demons are different from humans, they only pay attention to individual forces There is no concept of race in terms of gains and losses. It is only because of the power of the demon god that I have to listen to orders from the face. Right now, I am sitting in a lonely city because I obey the priest's order. If I can kill the priest, no one can move. It is a good opportunity for me. But there is something more important." He looked at Ye Mu inquiringly, and said solemnly, "Although the priest likes I have personally dealt with monsters that disobeyed orders, but I have never really fought other monsters. I can only deduce that it is the path of Chongxiaomen, but I don’t know the actual combat power. And it has guards around it all the time. I mixed into that guard team to check, all of them are strong players out of a hundred, and the leader of the guard is even more difficult to deal with. Although your 'system' is amazing, it doesn't have the ability to take someone's head from thousands of miles away. If you want to make a move, is there a way to retreat completely?"

Ye Mu naturally considered various aspects before expressing his idea. Seeing Jiang Wang's question, he said honestly: "The specific operation depends on the situation at the time. I will not make a move if I am not absolutely sure. .I want to lurk beside the priest. First, I want to collect some information about the demon god. Second, I want to inquire about the specific movements of the demon army. The third is to kill the priest. If things don’t work out, I won’t force it. "

"You care about that demon god?" Jiang Wang asked.

Ye Mudao: "Because of the relationship between the natural spiritual beings, the demon god will never give up troublesome with me. It is always good to be prepared and know more." After a pause, he said coldly, "If possible, I also want to find a Find out if there is a way to kill the Demon God."

Jiang Wang lightly tapped on the table, with an interested expression, said: "Good idea. I can't stay out of this kind of thing." He laughed, his eyes brightened, "Things like 'killing the gods' , It must be exciting enough to implement it.”

Ye Mu was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."

"That's it." Jiang Wang said, "When are you leaving for the priest?"

"If you have nothing to do here, I will leave in a while."

"Wait a minute." Jiang Wang flipped through the table beside him, pulled out a rolled up map and spread it out, and said, "Let me tell you about the priest's current location and the distribution of troops along the road. It’s best to memorize a few commonly used pronunciations of the demon language. In addition, I spent a few days with the priest in disguise before, and I have to tell you something that needs attention.”

After exchanging the necessary information, the two dawdled in the tent for a while, agreed on the time and method of usual contact, and Ye Mu set off reluctantly.

There was silence in the camp.Strangely, the people in the camp seemed to have completely died down with Ye Mu's departure.It was so quiet that one felt that there were no conscious creatures in this camp.

After a long time, the figure moved slightly.

Jiang Wang's original smile disappeared, his fingers clasped the tabletop, his eyes were empty, and the scenes just now were quickly recalled in his mind.Not letting go of every word Ye Mu said, even a subtle look, he judged the information in it with the strictest eyes of the Palace of Seven Kills.

After a while, there was a low sneer.

"Laws of the other world... Demon God—as expected." Jiang Wang slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

Is it Qingguang?The so-called six spirits are really just a few guys with ulterior motives.

Just, absolutely, absolutely, don't get in his way.

Undisguisedly, there was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

He took out the bone staff that he was carrying with him, played with it for a while, walked out of the tent, and walked straight to his destination.

Lifting the door of the tent, a strong smell of blood rushed to the face. In the dark corner, there were teeth-stinging creaking and chewing sounds, as well as long-awaited figures.The moment Jiang Wang lifted the tent door, a figure hidden on one side made a loud noise and rushed towards him with a bloody wind. Just as he was about to touch him, the bone staff flashed a faint phosphorescent light. It was like a puppet whose strings were forcibly stretched, and was forced to stop, standing stiffly in place.

"Regained consciousness?" Jiang Wang held the bone staff in one hand, and grabbed the man's chin with the other to look closely at his expression.In the bright light projected from the tent, one could see all kinds of struggling hatred and anger in the man's violently quivering eyeballs.The gaze was almost vicious.Rao was restrained by the bone stick and couldn't control his body, his whole body was still trembling slightly, one could imagine how much strength he had used.

Jiang Wang looked at this man, his expression under the mask softened, and asked, "Do you want to die? Or do you want to live?"

using human language.

The man's struggle suddenly stopped, and the eyeballs staring at him became dead silent, reflecting the sunlight like cold glass beads, empty and lifeless.

This already amounts to an answer.

Jiang Wang let go of his hand, and said in an almost gentle tone, "Then, goodbye forever."

With a soft snort, the figure was like a puppet whose strings were cut, and the whole person froze.

Falling to the ground, exposed to countless fine dusts under the sun, it is the clothes belonging to Yinyulou, and the bluish-white arms that do not seem to be alive.
