"The 10th Trial!" Lu Chengzhao, who wore goggles on his forehead, wrote in his notes, "Failure! ”

The incandescent lights flickered in this hut, and the shadows of the two flickered on the walls, like ghosts dancing in the middle of the night. The flames in the furnace had dimmed, and the little straw man in the circle burned to ashes for the tenth time.

Lu Chengzhao rubbed his eyebrows, his face showed tiredness: "I said earlier that ashes are a garbage ......"

"Shut up, listen to you every time you fail!"

Lu Chengzhao closed his mouth, threw the notes aside, and walked to the stove to check, although the iron guy was still very hot, he actually opened the door without wearing gloves, shoveled out the ashes of the Dancai inside with a small shovel, and threw it aside casually.

After cleaning up, he said, "There's one more material, it's not too late, let's try again." In fact, it was already late at night, but it was "not too late" for this old man. Of course, Lu Chengzhao's blood used as a Dan Yin cannot be drawn every day, and then Zhang Yi thought of a way to extract a little stem cell from Lu Chengzhao and let his researchers carry out artificial hematopoiesis.

As a result, the progress of refining has been greatly accelerated, but the failure rate is always 100 percent.

"Okay, let's do it again." Zhang Yi said.

Lu Chengzhao started to prepare the materials, after all, refining demons is not roasting red potatoes, and it is not as simple as throwing the materials in and burning them. In fact, there is another mystery inside this strangely shaped demon refining furnace, all kinds of Dan materials are placed in the small grids around them according to the number of gossipes, and each small grid has a pipe leading to the round sphere in the middle, on which the ancient forbidden spell is depicted.

There is nothing there, it is an empty place, but this is the center of refining, and the aura of all kinds of Dan materials and "Heavenly Materials" will be transported here, condensed into a nucleus, and converged into a human form! But such a miracle seems to be impossible, Lu Chengzhao just repeats it mechanically over and over again, until the box of ashes is exhausted, Zhang Yi will give up.

Ready, he lit the fire with a long lighter, then adjusted the amount of oxygen to the fire, and the fire began to heat up rapidly. The two stared at the heart of the furnace silently, and suddenly Lu Chengzhao said, "Cheng Ping is your friend?" ”

"Best friends! What is this for? ”

"Woo......" he muttered, "We have also failed ten times, the success rate is really slim, there is a saying among demon refiners, that when refining with someone's object, the closest person shouts his name next to it, which can increase the spirituality of the "Heavenly Material", so that the success rate can be increased!" I don't believe in that, so you can do it. ”

"You want me to call his name?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, I'll shout!"

Zhang Yi walked to the stove, stared at the grassy puppet on the ground, and called in a low voice, "Cheng Ping, give me life." ”

"Cheng Ping, I'm the director, didn't you say you want to see this day with your own eyes?"

"Cheng Ping, Cheng Ping, come back to life!"

This somewhat stupid approach did not provoke Lu Chengzhao's ridicule, because Zhang Yi's expression was very serious, as if the puppet was really Cheng Ping.

"Friend, friend!" He muttered this familiar and unfamiliar term, as if it had been hooked by distant memories.

The refining process lasted for an hour, and during this time Zhang Yi kept shouting there, in the usual order, at this time the puppet should be burned, and then another disheartening defeat. Sure enough, the straw man began to smoke and was about to burn down.

Lu Chengzhao pulled Zhang Yi: "Enough, it's still not good." ”

Zhang Yiyi waved his hand away and shouted at the stove: "Cheng Ping, you bastard, I intrigue and climb up with white eyes, just for you!" You come back to Lao Tzu! ”…,

"Zhang Yi, it's useless for you to shout and cut your throat, don't be stupid...... Belch? Lu Chengzhao suddenly noticed something unusual, although the straw man was smoking, it was a little different from the signs before spontaneous combustion, no! It wasn't meant to burn, the wisps of pale white smoke were stimulated from the "heavenly material...... Could it be that it worked!?

"No...... No way! Lu Chengzhao was shocked, "How can the ashes be such a garbage ......?"

Hearing his words, Zhang Yi turned his face, grabbed him and shook him in surprise and joy: "It's successful, isn't it!" Ain't it, you speak. "That expression was like that of a father waiting outside the delivery room for the doctor to come out.

"Yes!" Lu Chengzhao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "You're really lucky to get home, the eleventh time, it's successful!" ”

The two stared blankly at the fire, the white smoke poured into the stove thicker and thicker, without increasing the amount of oxygen, the fire actually became thicker and thicker, and the dazzling white light radiated out, as if the whole furnace was about to burst.

Zhang Yi's eyes were a little moist with excitement, and Lu Chengzhao, who had not seen this spectacle for too long, was no less excited than him. The old man's throat moved, and he turned to Zhang Yi and said, "Don't be happy first, whether it is male or female, old or young is not something I can say...... In case he becomes a woman, be prepared to marry her...... No, even if he is exactly the same Cheng Ping, he is not the same as he was in the past, he doesn't know you at all, he doesn't remember anything. ”

"What do you mean?"

"What we have refined is a demon! It's just that this demon may ...... I mean, maybe you have Cheng Ping's appearance, you see. ”

"I can turn him into Cheng Ping again."

"You can mess around as much as you like...... I don't care about you. ”

"Wait a minute, is what you said directly what Cheng Ping looks like?"

"Have you ever listened to me again...... It must have been a baby who came out. The baby will grow up slowly, and it will become an adult in a year, but after a year, it will be male or female, old or young, beautiful or ugly, and this appearance will follow it forever and cannot be changed, although it will age, but the process will be very slow. The demon is not a human, the demon only exists in human form, it is a simulated person, you know? ”

"Is it possible that Cheng Ping is not Cheng Ping?" Zhang Yi stared at the stove intently, and only listened to a third of his words.

"Are your ears ornamental? It can't be your friend, even if he is exactly the same as Cheng Ping! Lu Chengzhao roared angrily.

The white light suddenly engulfed everything around him, only to hear a bang, the door of the furnace was pushed open by something, and then a metal object rolled out. There is a mechanism in the heart of the hearth, as long as it reaches a certain weight, it will automatically pop out, in case the demon baby has no time to take it out and is suffocated. The demon refiners call this process of ripening and falling "form picking"!

The white light faded, and the hot ball was at Zhang Yi's feet, the ball was constantly beating, and there was obviously a living thing in it. Lu Chengzhao pushed him away, regardless of the hot hand of the thing, he pressed it a few times in the lines on the ball, only to hear a "click", and the hot iron ball split into two and opened like a coconut.

Just like a baby was born, a big cry of "wow" came from the moment the iron ball split, and there was a baby as big as a kitten shrinking inside. The human child came to the world to cry because the closed trachea suddenly opened, but the cry of the demon baby was burned by the iron ball, and his whole body had been burned with blood by the inner tank of the iron ball, so that when Lu Chengzhao carefully held it out with both hands, it was like taking it out of his mother's belly, and his whole body was covered with blood.

But his wounds healed quickly and quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the ultra-fast self-healing power proved that this was a new demon! Zhang Yi's lips trembled and said, "Born, born, the one with the teapot spout is a boy...... Uh, the face is so old. ”…,

Lu Chengzhao was even more excited than him, he was so excited that he didn't know why, he held the little demon baby in both hands, stretched out his arms, raised his head high, and shouted: "Oh, Simba! ”

The demon baby opened his eyes and looked at this strange and once familiar world, the nameless demon wandering between heaven and earth, reincarnated into this new form, but his crystal-like eyes saw a black hole with the muzzle of a sniper rifle, although he did not understand what it was.

With a "bang", the glass exploded, and Lu Chengzhao's body froze there, with bullet holes piercing on both temples, and the bullets that pierced through were embedded in the wall. He turned to the place where the bullet had struck with wide eyes wide open and before the action was complete, the gurgling blood had gushed out, and his whole body fell limply like noodles.

Zhang Yi watched dumbfounded, and it took a long time to understand what was happening.

The demon baby who was thrown to the ground and hurt was completely unable to comprehend what was happening around him, but the loud noise scared him, and he cried out again.

Then, the assassin fired a second shot, this time aimed at Zhang Yi......

……

"Sue, what are you thinking?"

"I think of a dead man."

"Who?"

"Cheng Ping! The relationship between him and Zhang Yi was also very, very good, Zhang Yi was crazy at that time...... I can't even think about what it's like to lose a friend or someone you like. ”

"You have sentimental moments, too."

"I'm super emotionally intelligent."

"Doesn't it mean that people with high IQ have low EQ?"

"Am I the exception...... I really want to be with you all the time, I really want this moment to go on and never end. ”

"Fool, we die together, and no one will leave anyone behind."

"yes, I'm so lucky!"

"Here, kiss me."

"I don't, you haven't brushed your teeth yet."

"Dead bastard, shoot you."

"Okay, okay, kiss it...... Come on, let's change positions! Come to me. ”

"Oh~"
