We are all ordinary people in this era. This change is just a normal company merger and acquisition, which is good. At least it does not make everyone unemployed. What if it is the original me? If I don’t have the relationship of Tomato, then I
You should be thinking about your own retreat now.
But thinking about it carefully, I really have no way out. With a mediocre resume, a pale background, and few connections, what I can do is actually very limited. I also thought about Kui, if he is really such a powerful ancient demon clan, he
Why would you consider the life of an ordinary person like me? After all, no matter in myths or novels, they are a superior clan. I should be an ant-like existence. And if Kui is allowed to run errands and do these things, then the subsequent background should be
How profound.
Thinking of this, I shudder. Because I am so insignificant, so insignificant that they should not know who I am. But now they not only know, but they are also thinking about me, which feels very scary. It is like a tiger looking at a little
A rat, no, it may be a creature smaller than a rat, and this kind of pressure comes like a flood.
I finished the principal's meeting in a daze, and it was already past 4 pm. I guessed that I had nothing to do, so I wandered out of the school and went to get Tomato's cell phone. And my uneasy feeling also made me need to talk to him.
Talk to Tomato. She is also a newly awakened demon. In theory, she is not a big demon, so is she also being used by Kui and the others?
I ran downstairs and ran to the parking lot. Hey, two people were standing in front of my car, and they were Asian. "Little brother, is your surname Jiang?"
"Yes, you are?"
"That's right, we are from the Central Plains Religious Council. Little brother, have you been to the Zhanshan Jingshe here?"
"I've been there before. Are you from the temple?"
"No, we are staying in the temple temporarily. You know that Zhanshan Jingshe is a temple specially opened here by eminent monks who came from the Central Plains to promote Buddhism."
"Are you here to ask for alms?"
"No, no, we just came to see you."
"...Is it okay if you have something to say?"
"Xiao Wen, stop talking. If you do this, he will be even more confused. Let me tell you." The man named Xiao Wen immediately stepped out of the way and escaped from the person behind him.
"Hello, my surname is Cao, and we are from the Central Plains Religious Council. We would like to ask you, do you know Niu Kui?"
"Ah?", I am a clever person, does this matter have something to do with demons?
"Don't be nervous. The look on your face means that you have met Niu Kui. Then you should know who he is, right?"
"Then...are you the same as him?", I felt a little guilty, I couldn't talk directly about this monster.
"We represent... people, don't worry, we are not bad people, and he is not a bad person. To be precise, we represent the practitioners in the Central Plains region. He represents the demon clan, and there is no conflict at the moment. We just want to ask, and he is looking for
What's the matter with you?"
You are really direct and clearly stated the position of the representative. There is no conflict at present, but what about the past and the future? This word game is also playing with me, I just study law, okay?
"You said you represent the practitioners in the Central Plains region? Are there any practitioners in other regions?"
"Yes, they may come to you, maybe they won't. It's actually a good thing that we find you first."
"What do you mean? Why are you looking for me?"
"Niu Kui came to find you, right? What he wants to do is not too small, so everyone will be staring at him. He has come to find you, and he must have told you something. Can you tell us? That's all.
If something bad happens to you, we can still protect you."
"How do you protect me? And this is North America. According to you, the local practitioners should be more capable, right?"
"It's not what you think. First of all, the influence of the Central Plains is much greater than you think, especially at the level of practice. Secondly, in theory, we are all local practitioners."
"What do you mean?"
"It's nothing, it just means that we are all one family. Little brother, what did Niu Kui tell you? Is it convenient for us to chat?"
"I didn't say anything. In fact, the main thing is..."
Before I could finish speaking, a police car suddenly drove up in front of me, and two policemen walked out of it, the same two people who stopped me on the road to ask for my driver's license last time. "Dear gentlemen, we are ordered to protect his safety.
Police, is there something going on between you?"
What? Why did the local police protect me, but I, as the person involved, didn’t know it?
"It's nothing, you are under orders, then you can ask your superiors. They know why we are looking for him. Also, Xiao Jiang, think about your position. If anything happens, come to Zhanshan Jingshe to find us." Mr. Cao said nonsense.
No, he turned around and left, and Xiaowen followed him.
The two policemen saw them leaving, shrugged their shoulders, and then told me to call the police immediately if I felt unsafe. We were nearby, and then they also left.
I stood alone in the parking lot, watching their retreating figures. I really wanted to shout a curse word, but I didn’t dare. Go home, oh, and get your phone first.
When I got home, Tomato was waiting for me at the door. As soon as I reached out and grabbed the skin on the back of her neck, I carried her to the table. I slapped the mobile phone box on the table and glared at her.
"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"I want to ask you, what's going on? A lot of people are looking for me today!"
I told Tomato about the matter and expressed my doubts. I felt that the matter was not that simple, otherwise why would a bunch of people stare at me, and they were all from incomprehensible departments. Did Kui want to use us as a shield?
Tomato hung her head and listened, turning her ears from time to time. She also seemed confused.
"You've been looking after the house all day today. Did anything strange happen?" I felt a little relieved.
"There is nothing strange at home, but the neighbors seem to be moving?"
"neighbors?"
"Well, at least three households are moving, and I saw a lot of moving trucks coming in and out." Tomato said, and I was even more confused, because when I came back, there was nothing and no moving trucks.
I didn’t see anyone moving, and there were no changes since I left in the morning.
Maybe something is really going to happen? An earthquake? No, the ones moving during the earthquake are rats. Now, who can explain to me what these doubts are about?
"This is your mobile phone. We selected it online at that time. It's not big so you can put it in your ears. You can try it." I reluctantly gave the phone to Tomato first.
"Can you contact Kui?"
"No, I don't have his phone number."
"You don't have any telepathy or telepathy or anything like that.
"You must have read too many novels. The Thousand Miles of Voice is a martial arts novel. In fact, demons mainly rely on demon energy to sense each other, but I can't feel demons of Kui's level."
"So we just have to wait now?"
"Yes, but it shouldn't be that long."
"how do you know?"
"It feels like cats have very sensitive premonitions, not to mention I'm a woman."
“Shouldn’t we say mother?
"I like it, don't you? Little brother." After that, Tomato's voice came out again. Okay, of course the 500-year-old lady didn't dare to say it.
"What should we do now? Are we going to wait at home for all the gods to come to me? Will they get rid of me? Today that person asked me to think about my position. What position do I have? What will I eat for dinner?"
"...you can eat whatever you want."
"Let me treat you to dinner." Kui's voice came from outside the door.
That's right, outside the door. He didn't come in directly this time, but he still heard what we said from outside the door. He even talked to us, which is even worse! In other words, the house I always thought was safe was actually...
It's like paper.
I suddenly remembered the classic sentence in Star Wars: You know nothing about the power of darkness. Now I understand this sentence deeply. I actually know nothing about the power of demons like them.
"Tell me what you want to eat. I'll treat you to dinner."
"…beef noodles?"
“…”
"I'm kidding, I went to a barbecue restaurant with a demon last time. Do you want to go?"
"Just tell me in front of me. If you see the Bull Demon King, he will roast you. I know the family you are talking about. They are not the monsters of the Central Plains, but the fox tribe of the Sakura Country. Let's go, their family is quite good.
Fire."
No wonder they have light beards, they turn out to be the fox clan. But why do they know Chinese? I thought the boss was from the Central Plains.
We moved to the barbecue restaurant. This time, the little fox was not there, but the old fox came out. A fat Ogissan said that he didn’t look like a fox, but he looked a bit like a civet cat. He took us into a private room. The private room is in Maple Leaf.
It's really a rarity in China. Most hotels here don't have it. It's probably because of the market. People in Maple Leaf Country don't have the habit of entering private rooms.
This private room is relatively large and can accommodate a party of about 10 people. There is no separate barbecue stove, but there is still an exhaust facility. After a while, the fat boss came in with the barbecue stove. It turned out that it was going to be grilled on site. Counting the boss
, there are only three people and one cat in the house.
Kui Xian took out a small bottle, which contained a purple and blue elixir, and said to Tomato: "This is for you. This is not a golden elixir, but a Tianbu Tian elixir that can repair the injuries you suffered before. You
You must first develop a good foundation before you can take advantage of the golden elixir." Then Kui looked at me and said, "After I left school today, did someone look for you?"
"Yes, they said they were from the Religious Council and asked what you said to me. I didn't know if I could say it or not, but I was distracted by the police later."
"They are still thinking about things with this oppositional mindset. They always think that we are going to do something to subvert mankind. How old is this?"
"They told me to think about my position."
"Humans, ever since they became independent from beasts, they have always taken themselves too seriously." Kui said a little helplessly, but also a little angry.
"Then what should they do if they come to me again? Should I say it or not? And why did the Maple Leaf Country police come to me later and say they were protecting my safety? What's going on? You're not using us as guns.
Right? Or do you want to use us as temporary workers and then pass the blame to us after you are done with it?"
"You think so badly of us monsters, but it's hard to tell if someone else comes to you. Your blood test has been done, and I want to ask you, do you want to be an ordinary person? Or a practitioner?"
