Chapter 2: The Law of Demons
(The first chapter has been slightly modified, and the rest of the chapter is basically a chapter of 3,000 words.) )
When the two made the contract, a big battle was going on in the dense forest on the outskirts of the city.
On both sides, one is an old man sitting on a tree branch, holding a long, lighted pipe, as if he is just enjoying the sunset. The other was a sturdy black man, the nails of his hands were horribly bulging out, as sharp as knives, and he was panting heavily.
Everywhere there were the remains of trees, hugging trees, neatly cut off.
"Ignorance is terrible, if it weren't for the hunger of my old man, I really want to teach you how to fight!" Said the old man smoking in the tree.
"Old thing, where is all this nonsense!"
Before the words fell, the big black man roared and raised his fingernail-pointed hand, and a few lightning-like lights swept across the trunk of the tree where the old man was standing, and then with a "bang", the hundred-year-old tree was neatly disconnected, and the place that was cut by the nail in the middle became a piece of slices.
When the giant tree fell, the man looked up in the sunlight, and in the shadows of the sun, a thin shadow was stepping on the fallen tree and flying towards the branches of another large tree.
"I won't let you have a foothold!"
Where the pointed nails skimmed, another tree fell in response, and sure enough, the old man rolled down like a ball and fell into the grass.
"Ouch, my waist!" The old man rubbed his waist while still smoking a cigarette.
"Die, old thing!"
The moment the strong man attacked the old man, the old man on the ground suddenly had a fierce killing intent in his eyes, and shouted: "Change!" ”
Suddenly, a bloated mass of soft matter filled the entire forest, and the big man fell into it, and the strange substance instantly entangled and engulfed him, and where he disappeared, a dull scream was heard.
The old man sneered and said, "Fool, it's not because the old man is afraid of you, but because he wants to make smoke. My 'Smoke Fat Change' is to turn cigarettes into grease, so the longer it drags on, the better it will be for me! It only takes one attack for me! ”
The massive soft object suddenly writhed like a slime with a stomach syrup, and there was a terrifying sound of bones breaking, and a suffocating and desperate scream.
……
"So, demons don't exist to eat people, but to eat their own kind?" Lu Su and Jin Duan sat in a nearby fast food restaurant, and Jin Duan explained some common sense of demons to him while gulping down hamburgers. With such a slender waist, I don't know where to put it after eating so many things, I can't tell that this woman is a super foodie at all, Lu Su thought stunned.
"Yes, the more of your kind that you devour, the more powerful you will be!"
"How is the demon going to fight? Hug your thighs and bite each other? ”
"You're a dog!" She suddenly threw out this sentence, which made Lu Su speechless for a while, "Fight with demon skills!" ”
"What's a demon skill?"
"Demon skills are ...... Demon skills! ”
"Oh...... Thank you for the detailed explanation. ”
"You're welcome! Ten more servings! ”
"Hey, I don't have that much money."
"Hmph, stingy!" She leaned back in her chair and sucked on her Coke, "Anything else you'd like to ask?" ”
"Jin Duan, what is your demon skill?"
"I don't know!"
"You don't know?"
"Aren't you just like an ordinary person?"
"Put P!"
“…… Can you stop being so fierce every time you deny someone? ”
"Alas, because I usually talk to people who are ready to be slaughtered, I'm used to it." She smiled unapologetically and held out a hand, palm facing outward, as if giving something to her, "Well, for your ignorance, what else is there to ask." ”
Lu Su noticed one thing, the scratches on her hands just now had actually healed completely. Overdrive recovery, surpassing the strength and speed of humans, so the demon surpasses ordinary people in all aspects of physical fitness?
"I have one more thing I want to ask, did my uncle Cheng Guzhi really die in a car accident?"
In Jinduan's eyes, something seemed to suddenly go out, she dipped the water droplets on the Coke cup, and slowly drew circles on the table: "Well, it was indeed a car accident and died...... People are such fragile things, but it's a pity that I didn't even see him for the last time. ”
It seems that the topic of Cheng Guzhi has always been her scar...... Are the two of them?
After eating, Jin Duan said that he wanted to go back to sleep.
Eat and sleep? Nourishing fat?
The afternoon sun baked the road, and the ground was steaming with bursts of heat, Lu Su followed her, no matter how she looked at it, she was a graceful woman, completely different from the demon she had always known.
But these things that happened today have far subverted Lu Su's common sense for more than 20 years. It's as if a person in the deep darkness is suddenly taken into the harsh sunlight, and whether he accepts it or not, the intense dizziness cannot be escaped.
He suddenly thought that maybe all this was a huge joke, and the mastermind behind it was of course his uncle. Whether it was the meeting four years ago, or the contract, it was just a huge joke that was wasted and painstaking.
He looked around, wondering if his uncle would suddenly jump out, and laughed at him loudly while saying, "Haha, you believe this kind of thing too!" But this imaginary reversal was not found, and all that could be done was to accept it, accept it calmly.
The two of them returned to the hut, and Lu Su bought a new lock from the door to replace the one he had broken.
Seeing Lu Su buying the lock, Jin Duan seemed to remember that the door was not closed, and shouted in a panic: "Oops! I was too careless! ”
"What's wrong?"
"Things will be stolen! Oops, awful! She said as she went upstairs with a "puff."
What is there to steal but a book and a broken coffin?
Lu Su followed upstairs, and when he passed by a room next to him, Lu Su saw an old man lying on the ground inside, with a slender pipe on the ground. The old man's stomach was bulging high, moaning incessantly, Lu Su secretly thought, could it be that the old man who lived alone was sick?
"You, let me in!" Jin Duan stood at the door, pointing at Lu Su.
"Wait a minute!"
Lu Su pushed down the door of the old man's house, the door was not locked, he pushed the door in, and asked, "Old man, do you want to take you to the hospital!" ”
The thin and dry old man raised his head slowly, slowly, and only after a while did he squeeze out a sentence like a gossamer, "Huh? ”
"Do you want to take you to the hospital?" Lu Su's voice raised a little.
He waved his hand weakly: "That, boy, help me light the cigarette...... Oops, I'm so full, I'm swollen! ”
Damn, it turned out that I was full! But people are all in, and I'm too embarrassed not to help. When he knelt down to light the old man's cigarette, he seemed to smell a strong smell of tobacco, and a hint of blood.
Looking at the old man who was smoking a cigarette, he thought to himself, is this person really okay?
"Help me up!" A withered hand was raised in front of Lu Su, and he helped him to let the old man sit in the chair. The old man patted his bulging belly and lamented: "I'm old, I used to eat dozens of catties of meat at a meal, but now I can't do it, my stomach is not good, and it's not easy to digest anything!" ”
Lu Su didn't hear these words, because at this time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, it was the "knock" sound of high heels stepping on the ground, and then, Jin Duan appeared at the door: "Great, it's okay!" Huh......"
The old man who was smoking a cigarette briefly looked at Jin Duan. Lu Su seemed to be aware that in the old man's eyes, there was a trace of gloomy light flashing, but it was fleeting.
"New here?" Jin Duan asked unceremoniously.
"It's been a few days since I moved in. What a handsome little girl, does she live next door? How about playing chess with me when I have time? ”
"I won't!" Jin Duan decisively refused, "Lu Su, let's go!" ”
When he was dragged away by Jin Xuan, Lu Su subconsciously glanced back, and the face of the old man hidden in the smoke seemed to have a trace of murderous aura.
Could it be that you are too careful?
Jin Duan fanned the wind with his hand and swaggered into the back room: "Whew, fortunately, my insurance measures are better." ”
"You house, is there really a thief who will target you? Be amorous! ”
"Look, you didn't even notice it! Dengden Dengden! She proudly opened the coffin, and the contents suddenly blinded Lu Su's eyes, full of clothes, all dresses, it seemed that Jin Duan liked plain styles.
"What to say!" Jin asked as he held the coffin with his hand.
"What a shock!"
"That's right, it's a coffin on the surface, but it's actually a wardrobe, it's amazing."
"Why it's all the same style, you don't get tired of it."
"People are beautiful, they look good in anything." She said confidently.
Then you're stripped naked! Lu Su said in his heart.
"You have a strange expression, you don't think about anything, do you?"
"No, absolutely not!" Lu Su said, "By the way, what will I do in the future?" ”
"What?"
"I'm already your refiner, what am I going to do, or do something for you?"
"Yes!" Jin Duan searched the ground, found a fashion magazine, pointed to the clothes on it, and said, "You buy this for me, and this." ”
"You and I are your godfather!"
"Godfather? What nonsense are you talking about. ”
Lu Su patted his head, thinking that from now on he would embark on the road of no return to save the world and maintain peace: "Then again, I don't have that much money...... I'm still a student. ”
"Stingy!"
"It's not a problem of being stingy, it's a problem of poverty!"
"I have!" Jin Duan said, "There should be! ”
"Is there or isn't?"
"Come with me shopping tomorrow!"
"What?"
"Buy clothes, provide references......"
"I'm going to school tomorrow."
"Really? Thank me, you won't have to go to school tomorrow. ”
"You'd better let me go to school."
"That's it, it's so good, new refiner!" She patted Lu Su on the shoulder, "Okay, you get out, I'm going to sleep." ”
“……”
This arrogant attitude is too unacceptable, and I have the impression that a demon like Jin Duan should squat on top of an ancient castle every day, overlooking the world with cold eyes, and the fierce wind blows his long hair and clothes, with a cold and arrogant predator posture.
There is still a gap between the ideal and the reality!
Lu Su came home, because he didn't sleep last night, he didn't eat dinner and lay down, this night, the dream was chaotic, but it seemed to be all about Jinduan, probably today's events were too impactful.
Lu Su's father is a full-time writer, and his mother is a housewife, basically a homestay, and his life is quite stable and peaceful. He studied journalism at a bad university in the city, and he is in his fourth year this year, and he basically copes with the roll call when he appears at school every day, and most of his classmates have already looked for jobs or internships everywhere.
A student who is so ordinary that he can't be more ordinary, he has not had a vigorous relationship, he has not done anything earth-shattering, only a few friends who are still good, he is basically useless except for reading, and his life trajectory is the same as that of thousands of peers, plain.
At four o'clock in the middle of the night, Lu Su woke up, opened his eyes to the darkness, stretched out his hand to grasp something, but in the end he only clenched it in mid-air.
At this point, he didn't understand what it all meant.
