My life can't be a harem game!
Page 248
Lu Fengxian's pupils shrank to the smallest. Lu Mengchan stood aside, contrary to her usual behavior, and noticed Lu Fengxian's abnormality. For some reason, the lively look in her eyes became less and less.
Boom boom boom!
Such a dull knock on the door came from outside, completely different from the sudden intrusion of Yuno Gasai before. A voice that sounded very honest came over.
"Excuse me, I just saw a woman using our hotel's spare key to open your door. Is this an illegal intrusion?"
Hearing that it was not Yuno Agatsuma's voice, Lu Mengchan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door. Then she saw a short and fat man with a very amiable look standing behind the door, expressing his apologies to Lu Mengchan with a wry smile.
"I'm so sorry, I'm the owner of this hotel. One of the receptionists said she accidentally lost her key, so I... This is the room rate for tonight and some compensation."
Obviously knowing that he would be held accountable if he followed the rules of this hotel, the boss generously returned the room fee that Lu Mengchan had previously paid at the front desk plus some money.
"No need. We are friends after all. You can keep the money."
Since Lu Mengchan was not someone who was short of money, she pushed the money back directly. Needless to say, the short and fat man accepted it without hesitation. Since the other party said so, it would be a bit too much if she was not ungrateful and forced the money on him.
Just think of it as extra income tonight, and go out for a drink tomorrow without telling my wife...
Working in a city ruled by demons is also a very hard job. The short and fat man decided to relax his mind tomorrow and go to the bar to look for fate for the night.
I took the money and was ready to leave, I refused and was ready to close the store, just at this moment...
"Boss, please wait a moment."
Lu Fengxian, who was sitting by the window and looking outside, suddenly spoke, came to the short and fat man, flipped his hand, and took out a black card.
"What's the matter? Isn't this money enough?"
The frightened short and fat man subconsciously thought that Lu Fengxian was dissatisfied with the amount of compensation.
"No, I want to give you some more money." Lu Fengxian answered decisively. Even though he received a huge sum of money now, it was not what he had ten years ago. He didn't want to get nothing.
"That's good... Ahem, guest, what question do you want me to answer?"
"I just want to ask if you have felt anything strange recently, such as something suddenly appearing on your body or other abnormalities?"
"No, don't look at me like this, I'm in good health!"
But when Lu Mengchan heard Lu Fengxian suddenly ask this question, she instinctively opened her mouth as if she wanted to stop him, but then she quickly paused after hearing what the short and fat man said. As long as she was not exposed, it was fine.
"Are you sure? Really not? I hope you think about it carefully. You know, I'm not short of money." As he spoke, Lu Fengxian put his arm around his shoulder. The black card with unlimited balance in his hand became a symbol of his confidence.
"Hmmmm..." He looked quite tempted. For a businessman, nothing is more tempting than the profits that can be easily obtained. After a little thought, the short and fat man touched his chin and said helplessly, "But sir, if you say recently, I really don't have any illness. If you say I have any physical problems, I haven't had any illness for almost ten years. The last time I was sick was when I accidentally fell in the kitchen and lost my memory..."
"Ten years?" Lu Fengxian's eyes lit up and he said quickly, "Can you tell me about it in detail?"
"Of course no problem, after all, you are the customer, you are God."
Afterwards, while Lu Mengchan was looking at him with a conflicted look, hesitant to speak, Lu Fengxian began to chat with the short and fat man about the anomaly that happened a long time ago.
It has been nearly ten years since I last had any illness. People around me kept having various minor ailments, but I was fine. The last time I had an illness was one night seven years ago. It was a quiet night. I woke up and suddenly found that there was a blank in my memory. The money in the cash box was missing, and some things in the store were suddenly replaced with new ones without my knowledge.
It was really a frustrating thing. You know, before that, I could count even one yen clearly. Not only did the money in the cash box disappear, but there were also some new utensils...
"But it should be a gift from God. After that, I have not been sick. My body seems to have returned to my 20s. I enjoy everything I eat. I have been working hard until now and opened a hotel here."
Speaking of this, there was some nostalgia in the short and fat man's eyes, and he placed his hand on the door frame beside him. Even these things were brought over from the human world bit by bit by him and installed there.
"It's really hard to do. At first, I had to run around soliciting customers until my voice got hoarse. After all, the demons like most of the convenient facilities of humans but hate electronic devices."
He worked hard to open this small hotel, and now he has brought his son and wife here to settle down. It has been a long and hard process, but the result is so sweet and happy that he feels that his life has been worth it.
"I originally wanted to give my little princess a brother or sister, but in the end I'm too old to give birth to a child no matter how many times I try. I can't accept my age anymore."
........
A rather honest and somewhat stingy small boss seemed to have become a projection of the storm formed ten years later by the flapping of his little butterfly's wings.
Some people cry, some people laugh, some people are dissatisfied with the current situation, and some people enjoy the present moment...
Overall it is a good thing, but it is not so good for Lu Fengxian, especially after knowing these details, the heavy feeling in his heart could not be shaken off.
I saw black mist entwined around the boss. When I got closer, I could even find that although the black mist was floating around, it was actually heading in one direction!
Outside the north gate of the Magic City, in the suburbs, or more precisely based on what I saw before, it should be said that -
cemetery!
A cemetery covering an area of at least one thousand acres that can be seen from the highest point in the city!
"Do you know what I want to do now, Mengchan?" After seeing off the hotel owner, Lu Fengxian asked without turning his head.
"It's up to you as long as you don't run out of the city." Lu Mengchan said with her eyes closed.
"What if I say I must leave town?"
When Lu Fengxian said the latter part, luck could not help but become fierce for some reason. Such words were exchanged for Lu Mengchan's bitter smile and helpless response...
"Then I will go with you."
214. Ten Years Ago and Ten Years Later
The city ruled by demons is called Demon City, and the incredibly large cemetery outside the city is called Demon City Cemetery.
No one knows when the demons built this place, and no one knows why such a large park is built in this place. In a word...
Everything is unclear!
That's right, the reason for its construction is unknown, and what is inside is also unknown. Everything is unknown. As the largest park standing outside the city, there is not even a gravekeeper here. There are fallen leaves everywhere, crows everywhere, and it is desolate everywhere.
The temperature dropped by several degrees...
Different from the warmth and bustle in the city, the sky here, less than five kilometers away from the north gate of the Magic City, has always been quite dim. Only sparse sunlight falls through the gaps in the clouds, shining on the khaki earth.
After hiring a car with a small amount of money to come to this place, the first thing Lu Fengxian saw was the tallest building in the cemetery area.
A large, scary white cross-shaped tombstone building!
If I look at it from the perspective of my aesthetic standards thirteen years ago, it is indeed a very majestic and beautiful building. The whole building is pure white and its shape is quite consistent with modern aesthetic standards. However, it seems a bit weird now.
It's really weird...
Standing in front of this huge white cross, Lu Fengxian looked up and roughly estimated that it was definitely thirty or forty meters away from the ground. This design was more like a fortress that overlooked the entire city than a simple memorial service!
It was at this time that Lu Fengxian and Lu Mengchan saw the first living person they had seen since they came to the cemetery.
The only living person in this place was an old human being who was sweeping the floor under the white cross. His face was full of wrinkles and he looked weak. He was sweeping the fallen leaves with a long broom. As the largest building in the cemetery, everything around it was clean, which must have been his masterpiece.
Seeing that Lu Fengxian was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect someone to come to this desolate place, he walked towards Lu Fengxian slowly and tremblingly, and said cheerfully as he walked, "Are you a tourist here for sightseeing?"
His eyesight seemed to be not very good. There was only a dim yellow light in his old eyes. He looked like a candle in the wind. You had to get very close to see Lu Fengxian...
"!?"
When he was far away from Lu Fengxian, he didn't feel anything. But when he got close, his cloudy old eyes suddenly widened to the maximum. After taking a few quick breaths, he fell backwards with stiff hands and feet...
"Be careful."
Taking a step forward, Lu Fengxian did not mind the old man's body odor. He simply put his arms around him and gently placed him on the ground. Then he quickly took out a white bottle of quick-acting heart-saving pills from his chest and fed them into his mouth in a few seconds.
Fortunately, I learned a lot about medicine from Ze Zhiyue, otherwise Lu Fengxian would not know how to save the old man in front of him.
Human beings are a weak race. Precisely because they are extremely weak, they have to rely on medicine to ensure that their lives will not pass away prematurely in old age. Basically, anyone with a slight heart problem will carry a bottle of quick-acting heart pills with them.
Guess it right!
"Don't be anxious. Breathe in and out slowly to adjust your heartbeat."
Lu Fengxian said this while patting the old man on the back. The old man soon recovered completely. However, the first thing he did after recovering was not to thank Lu Fengxian, but to fall backwards as if he had seen a ghost.
His hands and feet became more agile than his appearance. He spun, jumped, and shouted in panic before disappearing at the end of the cemetery. Although he was old, he was as strong and healthy as an old monkey.
Did I do anything out of the ordinary?
Encountering something completely incomprehensible again, Lu Fengxian threw the quick-acting heart-saving pills in his hand aside as if it was nothing new. The other party's attitude made him feel as if he had come into contact with the truth.
"The devil, the devil!"
A loud and powerful shout came from the end of the cemetery and quickly disappeared. The piercing sound made the crows on the dead trees in the cemetery caw and fly upwards, quickly disappearing into the boundless sky.
Lu Mengchan's face was calm, as if she had anticipated this situation. She followed Lu Fengxian silently, staring at his back with her deep blue eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Bang bang....
Lu Fengxian slapped his palms on the huge rock in front of him, making a loud and crisp slapping sound. He was trying to find an entrance or something like a door from the granite-like surface.
One can tell what the situation is here just by thinking with one's butt. If this white cross is really just a simple memorial object, Lu Fengxian would be willing to eat this huge thing in front of him with his mouth.
It is certain that it is a building with an interior space, but now I have no way to get in, which is really a problem...
Of course, it has something to do with me.
Regarding this, Lu Fengxian had already been certain about it when he met the old man. The old man must have seen him at some point, and it was even possible that -
!! ?
The pupils shrank to their smallest size, and a bitter and unbelievable smile appeared on Lu Fengxian's face....
"Hey, hey, can this be true?"
Of course, it was not the clichéd plot that he touched something extremely horrible. In fact, what he was really thinking about now was another horrifying fact.
Hope not.
He said this in his heart, and then his hand no longer sent futile attacks on the white wall in front of the reporter as before, but took a step back, and then began to walk around the white cross. As he walked, he used a branch he picked up to stick into the soil next to him, as if he was looking for something.
A quarter of a circle passed, and nothing was gained. The frost on Lu Fengxian's face did not dissipate.
After two quarters of the time, there was still nothing unusual, and Lu Fengxian's expression eased a little.
Three quarters of the way through, still nothing to discover.
If this resource accidentally infringes upon your rights, please notify us and delete it in time.
Four out of four, it seems that nothing has been achieved...
As Lu Fengxian thought about this, he felt relieved for some reason. He was about to pull the branch out of the soil, but suddenly he hit something hard. His face changed drastically. Lu Mengchan, who had been following him, also turned pale at that moment. He wanted to speak to stop him but was unable to do so.
"It seems I guessed it right."
He stretched out his hand and dug up the soil above the hard object, revealing a silver keyboard and a silver iron box with a strange logo underneath...
【Please enter password】
"Let me think about it, Lu Fengxian is the best?"
【wrong password】
"Lü Mengchan, I'm sorry."
The interval between the two sentences was less than a second, and then the silver keyboard was seen sinking rapidly, and a silver-white spiral staircase leading to the underground of the white cross rose from below.
Without any hesitation, Lu Fengxian stepped directly on it, and Lu Mengchan followed closely behind him. There was no panic or fear in their eyes, only determination.
It's already unstoppable...
She closed her eyes gently, as if waiting for the final verdict. Was she going to be deprived of even the last bit of her right as a human being?
It's really tragic...
..........
On that night ten years ago, outside the separate room where the contestant was resting, a distorted shadow slowly rose from the ground. A large blood-red eye emerged from the distorted black shadow, staring at the room.
[What an unexpected human being, he actually possesses such a powerful strength. Even I, who originally had no interest in humans, am a little tempted.]
The Shadow Demon clan among the demons has the most powerful lurking ability in the world. They were the most troublesome intelligence agents during the Brave Crusade. There was no way to easily monitor everyone's shadow. The ability of the Shadow Demon was to lurk in any kind of shadow and turn the shadow into a super backup to transmit the magic circle of the demon soldiers at the appropriate time.
He is good at lurking but his own power is relatively weak, so he is quite cautious and small. Most of the time, he makes some very small movements in the shadows to change a person. For example, he uses the devil's whisper when the opponent is sleeping, and infiltrates some demonic power into his body inadvertently when the opponent is fighting, just like marking his own property.
The Shadow Demon Duke is the identity of this Shadow Demon!
He possesses the most innate hidden power in the entire clan. At the same time, the devil's whispers and the demon's rendering power are more complete and powerful than those of his own clan. Therefore, this action is like a tailor-made one for him.
[You are just a human. I will take control of your body the moment I possess you. Once I take down the throne of the strongest male, the throne of the next Demon King will definitely be mine! ]
The seal is getting weaker and weaker. As the Grand Duke of the Shadow Demon Clan and one of the most powerful beings in the entire Shadow Demon Clan, he knows better than anyone that the seal is getting weaker and weaker. He also understands how defenseless humans are against the demons now.
They are called demons because they obey their inner desires too much. They are the most cunning and insidious, and are best at playing with people's minds. This is what demons filled with desires can do.
The failure of the previous era of heroes was entirely due to accidents. On the one hand, the demon king was suddenly killed by the heroes. On the other hand, it was because the lower-class humans of that era were spiritually deficient and only knew how to place their hopes on the illusory gods, making it difficult to invade...
In this complex material age and complex spiritual exchanges, people can't help but feel a little annoyed by the intrigues.
