Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1331 A Moment of Scenery
This was the first time Lu Ning encountered the Demon King directly. She didn't expect that she would be at such a distance from the Demon King - she could hit the Demon King in the face with just one headbutt, it was that close.

But Lu Ning still didn't move. Even though Ye You looked like a female ghost suddenly appearing in a horror movie when hanging upside down like this, she didn't look scary at all.

"Ah, you won't invite me in?" Yeyou said in a rather lyrical tone, "Or do you feel unsurprised? It's okay. Although I asked this question, you will definitely refuse to let me in, right?"

Lu Ning opened her mouth but didn't say anything. She just took a step back and nodded slightly.

"As expected." Yeyou swung slowly at the window, "Riyou's eyes have reflected you, and you also have a very good uniqueness. In this fun-filled Xingyin City, I need to find a pair of eyes that are sufficiently involved."

Lu Ning didn't listen carefully to what it was saying. She was thinking carefully about the situation she was facing.

A demon king, this is an opponent that she cannot deal with at all. It is better to forget about fighting. However, Ye You was just outside the window. If he could come in, he would have gone into the house long ago. Maybe there is some other interference in Xingyin City, which means that Ye You must be invited to enter the house?
"Are you wondering why I invited you directly?" Ye You said with a smile, "Because beating around the bush is useless. Of course, I still have a little expectation, which will make our subsequent cooperation smoother. In human terms, you and I have some fate, so, descendant of man, are you willing to share a pair of eyes with me?"

"What happened to the demons that were killed?" Lu Ning asked this question.

"It's just a gift for the arrival of the Great Wei Emperor. The 'three animals' are not a particularly troublesome ritual, of course, it will take some time to process. Generally speaking, this is the way the demons inform us that we are here. Oh, by the way, you may wonder why I still want to do this when Broken Dragon has already been activated. In fact, it is because Broken Dragon is not the force I represent. According to human custom, even if two guests of equal status come together, they will not prepare only one visiting card, right?"

Lu Ning really wanted to ask you why you knew so much about humans and about her.

But before she could ask, Yeyou came over and floated in front of the window.

"When I said I had a connection with you, it wasn't just an excuse. Although you will definitely reject my kiss, I still want you to become my accomplice." Ye You's tone was as if he really wanted to make friends. "You must be special because you can be affected by Broken Dragon. You are not a royal noble, nor are you involved in the destiny of the country. Why are you so special? Descendant of Man, can you explain it to me?"

"You haven't finished answering my question." Lu Ning said.

"But even if I answered, you wouldn't say it." Ye You shrugged.

Lu Ning said nothing.

Ye You smiled lightly: "You always make such a choice. Even if it goes against your inner feelings, you will choose the most cautious method according to the existing logic, right? I-"

"Put on."

A bunch of red and black arrows attacked from the left side of the window. Yeyou stepped back slightly to avoid the attack of the arrows. It turned its head to look, looking a little unhappy.

Lu Ning also adjusted her angle and saw a person floating on the other side of the window. In the moonlight, she could see that he was wearing clothes from the Demon Suppression Bureau and did not look very young.

In his hands was a pair of yin-yang fish hovering in the air, and the attack just now was launched by him.

"Night walk, where is Lin Qinchen?" The man's voice was not loud, but it was just loud enough for Lu Ning to hear clearly.

"I handed him over to Riyou. As for the outcome, I have no idea." Yeyou laughed, "You seem... your clothes are a little different from his. It seems you are not Qinchen? You are brave enough to come here."

"Yeyou, have you seen me in the past?" The man didn't care and asked, "You and Riyou are also active demon kings in the world. Do you really think that the Demon Suppression Bureau is not on guard against you?"

"No wonder there is no demon-suppressing official." Ye You was not surprised. "But you guys went a little too far. I know you're on guard against me. But so what? I don't need to let any demon-suppressing official enter the scene of a moment."

"Today, the net is laid for you. The 'Three Sacrifices' is indeed a troublesome matter, but compared to suppressing the night wandering, it is not so difficult."

Following the voice of the demon-suppressing officer, Lu Ning saw figures appearing one after another around the inn. The demon-suppressing officer had dispatched countless people to capture the night wanderers.

And it seemed that there was no room for Lu Ning to intervene in this.

"It sounds like you guys have put a lot of effort into this." Ye You put his hands in his pockets and smiled, "But how do you know you are not in the moment?"

At this moment, Lu Ning suddenly heard the door behind her open. She turned around alertly and found Lin Xiyin standing at the door.

"Lu Ning, come out."

"Are you really Lin Xiyin?" Lu Ning frowned slightly. "Although I don't understand what happened to me, the night tour probably controlled my psychology to a certain extent."

"How are you going to prove it?" Lin Xiyin frowned, "Are you planning to stay in the house forever?"

"The room is obviously a special area. As of now, night walkers cannot enter at will. And you - at least explain to me what the momentary scene is?"

"That's Night Wandering's special ability." Lin Xiyin walked into the room. "Night Wandering can stretch a moment into a false dream. The actions of the people in the dream are no different from reality. After waking up, all experiences are gone in the memory, only the emotions remain."

"Emotions stay." Lu Ning repeated these four words.

"It is difficult for people to have bad feelings towards night wanderers, because they have already met with them many times. In a short moment, night wanderers can give up everything and concentrate on making friends with one person. After repeating this several times, when they meet for the first time in real life, they are like old friends who have not seen each other for many years, and it is impossible for people to have any bad feelings towards them. This is true even if humans and demons are naturally hostile to each other."

"So Ye You already knows me." Lu Ning said.

"of course."

"Then how did you manage to escape in such a short time?"

"After all, Sumo is just a kind of ability. It relies on a moment of trance to pull people into a dream. As long as——"

Lin Xiyin stopped talking suddenly here, and then she felt a pain on her face. She suddenly woke up and found that it was Lu Ning who pinched her hard.

"Lin Xiyin!" "Hey, what's going on..." Lin Xiyin took a step back and bumped into the wall in the corridor. She didn't really walk into Lu Ning's room just now, but was caught in a moment when she intended to act.

"Are you awake now?" Lu Ning did not leave her room. She just stood at the door and pinched Lin Xiyin to wake her up. A silent battle had already begun outside. Yeyou shuttled through the night sky, while the demon-suppressing officials kept falling into and breaking free from the state of wakefulness and nothingness. Their battle was not continuous. Except for the demon-suppressing official who took action at the beginning, the others could not completely resist Yeyou's ability.

"Your research is not that in-depth." Ye You's laughter reached everyone's ears. "You actually came to me. Do you really think you will never fall into a dream?"

Lu Ning narrowed her eyes and looked out the window. She knew that Yeyou was not as capable as he appeared to be, at least he had not been able to enter her house before. However, Yeyou seemed to have figured out her personality, her reliance, and other things. She didn't know how much she had leaked out in just a moment.

"Lu Ning, you can't stay in the room any longer." Lin Xiyin said, "The safety here is brought by another ritual. Even Ye You can't underestimate it. But this can't stop Ye You forever. It can try indefinitely until it finds your flaw."

"That is to say, it has not been found yet." Lu Ning said.

"If you did, you probably wouldn't be here."

If that was the case, then Ye You might not have used the Moment of Scenery on her that many times. In any case, Lu Ning would always keep some things to herself about the characters in the scene.

"I understand. I will leave when I am sure it is safe. Don't you need support? The battle in the Demon Suppression Division doesn't seem to be going so smoothly."

Lin Xiyin frowned, turned and left.

According to Lu Ning's understanding of her, Lin Xiyin couldn't explain this matter now. Was it related to how to get rid of the fleeting scene of night travel?

Lu Ning lay down on the bed, placed the jade plate on her forehead and closed her eyes.

While processing this redundant information, she probably fell into a short sleep several times without her control, so "Shu Moment" took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in. But she had almost no perception of the outside world at that time, and she even thought that she was a tree in her mind. She doubted whether her thoughts in the dream were still normal.

This time, Lu Ning controlled her mind and began to consciously filter out some information. Under the current situation where the Demon Suppression Division and Ye You were fighting, if her guess was correct, Ye You was probably releasing the "Moment" attack indiscriminately.

She slowly closed her eyes and then opened them again.

Yeyou was standing beside her bed.

"When you do this, it's easy for me to recognize that it only lasted for a moment." Lu Ning said.

"After all, it was you who took the initiative to invite me, so of course I will take a look at what you think." Ye You said with a smile, "I really like humans like you. Do you want to take a look? They made a covenant with me that they would live as descendants of humans during their lifetime, and only after death would they become my subordinates. This is exactly the authority of Fengdu, and it is also Ye You's job."

"But Yeyou is just a name passed down by word of mouth." Lu Ning said, "What's more, in people's rumors, they all respectfully call him 'Yeyou God'. But you call yourself Yeyou, why?"

"Of course it's because I'm not the real Night Wanderer." Ye You smiled and said, "A thousand years ago, Fengdu moved south because the real Fengdu no longer existed in this world."

Lu Ning frowned, turned over and sat up from the bed.

"Fengdu is no longer in the world. Why is that?"

"Of course it's because the immortals disappeared overnight. People may not notice it, but the demons are deeply affected." Ye You chuckled and sat down on the bed, saying, "The descendants of humans and demons have been in conflict for a long time, but why have they never reached a conclusion? Of course it's because there are true immortals who are suppressing them and preventing the two sides from fighting too much. Back then, the king of humans defeated the king of demons in one move, and since then the demons had to retreat to the mountains and forests, leaving the beautiful land to humans. If it weren't for the true immortals making the judgment, how could the demons be willing?"

"So now that the True Immortal has left, you guys are celebrating and taking over the True Immortal's former position?"

"The descendants of humans have always liked to view us in this way, so you are just taking advantage of the past. With the departure of the True Immortal, the world will inevitably be in chaos. Let alone other things, just the position of Fengdu, the position of the head of the reincarnation, will return to nature."

"Return to nature..." Lu Ning was about to speak, but suddenly stopped.

The worlds of each scene are very different. In many scenes with "gods", it is not a good thing to leave the priesthood vacant, because under natural conditions that power may become extremely chaotic.

"The True Immortals established the cycle of life and death, and the world has birth, aging, sickness and death. But you know, if it is left to nature, the life and death of this person will be uncertain, and even birth and death will not be the same as today."

"So, you demons are..."

"The descendants of demons are spirits born and raised by nature. They asked the True Immortal to remove them from the cycle of life and death. Therefore, the birth of demons is different from that of humans; and the death of demons is not in Fengdu." Ye You said softly, "Humans and demons have different paths, just because the True Immortal made the distinction. Once the True Immortal is gone, if everything returns to nature, in a few hundred years, what difference will there be between humans and demons?"

"Isn't this the result you want?"

"Demons and humans can fight, but the rules set by the True Immortals cannot be changed without permission. How do you think I convinced that hero among men to be willing to be my accomplice? If it weren't for the sake of the world, I'm afraid the people I've chosen would be willing to enter the reincarnation."

At this point, the surrounding scene has become blurry. Obviously, with the fierce battle outside, Ye You cannot hold on for long.

"I told you all this in just a moment. When you wake up, you should be closer to me, at least you should understand what I mean." After saying this, Ye You disappeared.

Lu Ning immediately found herself lying down again.

She picked up the jade plate, looked at it carefully, and then put it on her head.

The "dot" itself is a ritual for recording. It cannot record dreams normally because it cannot enter dreams from reality. But when Lu Ning was using this jade plate just now, he also communicated with the point closest to him, cleared all records of the past time in his environment, and finally connected his spirit with it.

After this attempt, she put the jade plate on her forehead again and found that all the records in the inn that she had just cleared out now appeared again.

"So the scene of a moment is not without flaws."
