The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

[I fired, shooting at the figure's lantern instead of just hitting his vitals, which proved useless. 】

[The figure looked like mud, but the lantern was very brittle. I only hit it once, and the lantern shattered. 】

[The figure retreats quickly. 】

[I saw panic in his only eye. 】

Zhao Chuanxin was moved in his heart and wrote:

[Now, my brother and I are shooting at the figure with all our strength. 】

[The figure's body was shaking, and his only eye was broken by us. 】

[A pitiful howl came from his mouth. 】

[He suddenly begged for mercy: Don't hurt me, I only mean well. 】

[We stop. 】

[The figure continued: If you want to reach the Demon Throne through the path of hell, you must answer my question no matter what, otherwise you will not be able to pass even if it brings me endless pain. 】

Zhao Chuanxin sneered: If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined.

He wrote:

[I continued to shoot until he was convinced. 】

This is Captain Zhao’s character.

However.

[I did not continue shooting, I was ready to listen to his questions. 】

Farke!

Zhao Chuanxin was furious and wanted to replace him.

[The figure asked: Stranger, do you think I look like a human or a demon? 】

[I have two choices:

One, he looks like a human being.

Two, he is like a devil.

The consequences of your choices are unpredictable. 】

Dogs are yellow-skinned, right?

Zhao Chuanxin thought with the three people in the diary.

[I'm really embarrassed. This question is really strange and I can't relate to the consequences. 】

"I" was confused, but Zhao Chuanxin was very sober.

Huang Pizi asked, "Is it like a human or a god?" No matter how he answered, he would not be happy.

If the answer is like a human being, its cultivation will be useless.

So it will make people and dogs restless.

If the answer is like a god, it ascends to immortality, and people have to receive their karma and atone for their sins.

So bad that it oozes pus!

So he wrote angrily:

[I said: I think you look like a piece of donkey dung egg that fell off a cliff and broke half of it. It can be described in two words - rolling ball! 】

[There is a surprised expression on the figure's face. 】

[I bypassed him and continued forward with the brother and sister. There are bright lights and flowers, so I am not afraid of losing my way. 】

[But it was obvious that we were taking a new path. Not long after, a figure appeared in front of us again, blocking the way. 】

[His eye became intact, and the lantern in his hand returned to its original state. Moreover, the paper crane landed on his shoulder. 】

Zhao Chuanxin began to feel troubled.

The dog is haunted.

This mission is definitely the weirdest one.

[The figure said: I am the night watchman of the path to hell.

Stranger, I said, you must answer my questions to pass. 】

[I know I have to answer him. 】

[If I say he looks like a demon and he really becomes a demon, are we still his opponents?

If I say he looks like a human being, but if he really wants to be a demon, will he take revenge on us afterwards? 】

[I turned around and asked my brothers and sisters: Is there anything else you can do? 】

Zhao Chuanxin knew why "I" wanted to ask the brother and sister.

This brother and sister may seem weak, but in fact they are not. The elder brother is like an invincible little strongman who can save the day every time.

My sister has a treasure bag, and even Zhao Chuanxin is curious about what other treasures are inside.

[The brother and sister shook their heads. 】

[I sighed and said to the night watchman: I don’t want to hurt you by giving the wrong answer. You continue to watch here. I hope that one day you will achieve your wish. 】

Zhao Chuanxin secretly praised: What a good boy.

[Unexpectedly, the night watchman shook his head: I have been waiting here for too long. This page brings you here, which is the devil's will. I can't miss it. 】

[I asked: So, how do you want me to answer? 】

[The night watchman continues to shake his head: It must be your own idea. 】

[The night watchman's face showed expectation, but I was in a dilemma. I really didn't know how to answer, because I couldn't tell what he expected. I thought he must have a way. 】

That one?

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned, he was talking about himself.

He jumped out of bed, took out a pen and paper, spread it out on the table, and started drawing a mind map with the pencil.

On the one hand, he becomes a demon, and on the other hand, he becomes an adult.

The Night's Watch and the Path to Hell are intersections.

There are two directions, the night watchman wants to become a demon or an adult.

According to the analysis of the situation here and now, the Night Watchman should want to become a demon.

He has human form, so it's highly possible that he was once human.

Maybe he wanted to achieve something, so he came here and became a night watchman.

Seeing that half of his body has melted, I think he has been here for a long time and has been tortured a lot.

Putting himself in his shoes, if Zhao Chuanxin lived alone in a place where birds didn't poop, he would go crazy.

Even if his goal has not been achieved, he would rather become a human again.

The reasoning up to now has turned into whether the night watchman still sticks to his previous wishes?

Zhao Chuanxin began to recall the words of the night watchman.

He said that only by answering can the past be passed, which is an affirmative sentence.

If you can only pass if you make the right choice, then he may subconsciously give a vague and confusing answer, such as: Only by answering can you hope to pass.

If it can pass no matter what, then Zhao Chuanxin will choose:

【I choose him to look like a human being! 】

[The night watchman has a look of surprise on his face. 】

[Then an expression of relief. 】

[His body began to melt completely, spreading from his feet upwards. 】

[The night watchman smiled and said: Stranger, maybe I should call you the fearless pioneer of the city-state. Before, I was neither human nor demonic, but now that I am an adult, I am going to die. Death is a relief to me.

You can put away the ecstasy lamp in my hand.

The page on my shoulder, it's a page from the Codex of Demons.

It will lead you to the Demon Throne. 】

[I obtained the ecstasy lamp and how to use it. 】

Zhao Chuanxin received the message from the ecstasy lamp at the same time.

His expression was slightly startled.

[My night guard's body melted and spread to his chest, and I hurriedly asked him: What would have happened if I had chosen you to be like a demon? 】

[The night watchman laughed: If I become a demon, I will lose my mind. Most of you are no match for me and will be killed by me. 】

A chill rushed into Zhao Chuanxin's heart.

From this incident, he figured out why the art of fooling people appeared.

If you are not sure whether the opponent will hurt you when he becomes stronger, the best way is to keep the opponent weak forever.

No matter what the cost.

This is why people hate nouveau riche who suddenly gain power and money.

Because you are not sure whether he will let the shadow in his heart expand and eventually become a demon.

[I said angrily: Then why did you say that we can only pass if we choose? 】

[At this time, the Night Watchman had melted down to his jaw, and he used the last moment to speak: Because if you are killed by me, you will become the next Night Watchman, and of course you will pass. 】

【I was scared for a while. 】

[At this time, the night watchman completely melted. The paper crane flew over and landed on my shoulder. 】

[The paper crane uses its sharp beak to comb its wings, like a real living creature. 】

[I said: Lead the way from the front. 】

[The paper crane flaps its wings and flies forward. 】

[We followed behind on the Creation of War. 】

[I use the ecstasy lamp to absorb the surrounding fog. On both sides of the path to hell, white bones are revealed. There are human bones, elven bones, various animal bones, fallen giant trees, and various dry plants. 】

[However, there is still a faint black mist floating above us, which cannot be absorbed by the ecstasy lamp. The black mist covers the sky and blocks the sunlight, so it will always be dark here. 】

[The paper crane takes us to an empty place. 】

[I didn’t see the Demon Throne, just something like an altar. 】

[Above the altar, floating is a thick book with a cover as black as night. 】

[The book is open, but it has missing teeth and many pages are missing. 】

[The paper crane on my shoulder seemed to be attracted by the book. It flew over, unfolded automatically, transformed from the paper crane into a book page, and fell back into the book. 】

[I walk like a book, looking down at it. 】

[At this time, writing suddenly appeared on the page: Interesting. 】

Zhao Chuanxin had an inexplicable feeling of familiarity.

Isn’t that what a diary is?

[Written continues to appear on the page: Are you a puppet? No, you have your own consciousness. 】

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly felt horrified.

[Book page: Huh? Someone is watching you from behind. Haha, hello, gazer. Or, can I call you Old God? 】

Zhao Chuanxian's forehead began to sweat.

"Devil's Code" is not talking to "me", but talking to Zhao Chuanxin.

But from its few words, Zhao Chuanxin guessed that it didn't know its true identity.

At least Zhao Chuanxin knew that he was not an old god.

He tentatively wrote:

[Can you see me talking? 】

[Book page: Yes. I thought that all the old gods had fallen into a deep sleep for the sake of the sustainability of the human world. It seems that the old god who is unwilling to be left alone and wants to monitor everything has awakened. 】

This guy got the wrong person.

Zhao Chuanxin had no idea what he was talking about, so he could only bite the bullet and write:

[Tell me, what does the biological remnant have to do with you? 】

Since biological remnants have created biological intelligence, existences with super-intelligent intelligence like weirdos and goblins cannot understand biological intelligence.

The weirdo also felt that biological intelligence was related to the "Devil's Code", so Zhao Chuanxin could only use the trick of "throwing stones to ask for directions" to test it out.

However, this sentence gave him away.

[Book page: Oh, I was wrong. You are not an old god. If you were the Old God, you would not ask this question, because you know the relationship between the biological remnants and me. 】

Zhao Chuanxin wrote:

[Perhaps I have been asleep for too long and cannot remember many things clearly. 】

[Book page: This is possible. However, I still think that you are not an old god, because no matter how many things you forget, at least you will not forget me and will shout to die with me as soon as possible. 】

Seeing that his identity was revealed, Zhao Chuanxin simply wrote ambiguously:

[Maybe I really should die with you. 】

[Book page: I don’t think so. If my pages and yours were to cancel out, this world would cease to exist. I know that the old gods want to get through to the higher-dimensional world. Maybe you are a creature in the higher-dimensional world. 】

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly became enlightened.

He made some bold guesses.

But he didn't want to discuss these with the "Demon Code" because it would expose his shortcomings and show his ignorance.

He wrote:

[Now, I want you to tell me everything about biological intelligence! 】
