[025] Veteran

After Nanke recalled the Ring Spirit, it suddenly occurred to him: Although Qian Xue and Xia Chi implemented the Emperor's law very loosely, they could not disobey the Ring Spirit and recall. In other words, in addition to the core of the Emperor's Three Decrees, there are also some rules that the rings must follow, and Nanke secretly vowed to clarify them all in the future.

"Plumella praline cake and Fulinmen high-calcium double-layer cookie remind you that you arrive at the station ahead: Tuqiao, passengers who get off the train should pay attention to safety."

Tuqiao is already a very remote suburb of Dongshan City, and it is also the terminal of many buses, and No. 84 continues to drive forward after passing through Tuqiao, which shows how remote the location of Nanke's old house in the east of the city is.

The already small number of passengers got off the train one after another, and Nanke didn't pay much attention to these, because he found that after recalling the Ring Spirit, he could talk to Qianxue and Xia Chi telepathically.

"It's so convenient! Aren't you always forced to sleep after your rings are recalled? ”

"Fatigue, serious injury, near-death, or the killing of the Emperor will lead to forced hibernation, otherwise we can discuss tactics with the Emperor in the ring."

Qianxue's voice rang in Nanke's mind, and Nanke could feel that it was the white ring on the middle finger of his right hand.

"Let's put it aside for a moment to discuss tactics or something," Nanke said in a very unproductive way, "You don't need to make the ring visible, you can have a heart-to-heart conversation with me, right?" In that case, if I bring you into the exam room, wouldn't it help me cheat? ”

"Don't count on me to cheat," Xia Chi said, "I filled out an IQ test paper when I was working at a pizzeria, and a pair of answers found that my IQ was only 70. ”

"Sister, don't expose your shortcomings, okay? It's going to make Nank look down on us! Because of some mood swings, the white ring where Qianxue was living shook slightly.

"What is your IQ in that Qianxue?" Nanke asked curiously.

"I don't think the test papers on the Internet are scientific, but my IQ is about 150." Chiyuki gives an answer that surprises Nanke.

"Wow! So high! That little sister Qianxue, I'll ask you when I take the exam in the future! You're going to let me move up at least 10 places in my grade rankings? ”

"I refuse." Qianxue very simply let Nanke touch the nail, "Although after recalling the Ring Spirit, we can see what you see in the Emperor's Ring, hear what you hear, and theoretically help you cheat...... But how to kill chickens with a knife? The powerful weapon of the Demon God, you only use it to cheat in exams, it's really unproductive! ”

"Are you qualified to speak of me?" Nanke asked unconvinced, "Just now you asked me to use the Ring Spirit to summon me back to evade the ticket!" ”

After a few more stops, there was no passenger on the No. 84 bus except Nanke, and seeing that it was about to reach the terminal Tongxiang Street, Nanke got up from his seat and walked towards the driver.

Nanke hadn't been on the No. 84 bus for a while, and he wanted to ask the driver what time the first and last bus of the No. 84 bus was, but as he approached, the thin driver in blue overalls shivered, and cold sweat began to appear on his rough-skinned forehead.

Nanke was very surprised, and thought that the driver had a stomach and wanted to go to the toilet, at this time Qianxue said in the ring: "Don't get any closer, this driver is disguised by a demon god!" ”

"What!?" Nanker paused in surprise, "Is there a new enemy so soon?" What attribute is the demon god of the other party? Where is his Emperor? ”

"Don't be too nervous," Xia Chi interjected with a big grin, "This guy is weak, if you weren't so close, I wouldn't have felt his spiritual power at all - he's not one of our 72 Pillar Demon Gods." ”

"We can't let our guard down," said Chiyuki, "maybe he's just a scout, and his real opponent is lurking in the shadows, planning to launch a surprise attack on us!" ”

Nanke's brows were furrowed, and he regretted a little that he didn't listen to Sima Ling's words, and brought out the barren night with him.

The old mansion in the east of the city is broken like that, there are thieves patronizing it, could it be that this is the enemy's conspiracy? I heard Qianxue say that the blood of Solomon on my body is a rare material, and I wonder if someone who is mad will draw my blood as a spell casting material, or slice me and study it......

I don't want to be sliced! No matter how strong the enemy is this time, I must defeat him alive or escape alive!

Just as Nanke made a vow in his heart, the bus driver parked the No. 84 bus at the dark terminal, but did not open the door, but walked towards Nanke very hesitantly, one shallow and one foot deep.

It was the face of a middle-aged man who had experienced wind and frost, his face was sad, and his work clothes were also very worn, and Nanke, who had little experience, did not feel any hostility or "spiritual power" of the other party at all, let alone recognize the identity of the other party's demon god.

Not sure if the other party would make a move, Nanke divided his arms and used the command released by the ring spirit, and after the white and red lights flashed, Qianxue and Xia Chi stood on Nanke's sides, glaring at the bus driver without anger.

The bus driver's cold sweat flowed even more, his legs were weak, and he grabbed the horizontal bar next to him so that he did not collapse to the ground, and his mouth was a very pitiful cry:

"Spare your life! You used to be a general under Lord Baal, a thousand miles of frozen white, and the red of fire, right? I'm lowly in ability, I have no intention of murdering you and your Emperor, I'm just a passing demon god! ”

The bus driver's opening remarks were really unexpected by Nanke, who kept a safe distance and said vigilantly: "This is the world, don't you think that you are a demon god casually 'passing by', a bit too disobedient?" If you're not going to murder us, then what are you here for? Where did you get the original bus driver of the No. 84 bus? ”

"Please, please don't kill me!" The bus driver still has the appearance of a human being, "I just borrowed this person's identity and helped him drive for a day!" I'm the Demon God of the Coexistence Sect! I came here just to sweep the graves of my comrades! ”

Nanke was confused when he heard it, he knew that among the demon gods, there were coexistence factions, world destroying factions, and neutral factions, and some of the three were hidden in human society and dressed as ordinary people, but what did the bus driver mean when he said that he was sweeping the graves of his comrades? Could it be that his demon god comrades were not buried in the demon world, but in the human world?

"Don't listen to his rhetoric and delay time, just kill him!" Xia Chi rubbed his hands, and spewed out a little spark from his mouth and nose, and the faintly appeared demon god posture scared the bus driver out of his mind.

Nanke stretched out his hand to stop Xia Chi and said in a deep voice, "Let him finish his words." ”

The terminal of the No. 84 bus, Tongxiang Road, is just like its name, at the junction of urban and rural areas, and if you walk half an hour outside the city from here, there is indeed a cemetery, and the bus driver said that he came to sweep the grave.

"Thank you, thank you for your patience to listen to me." The demon god who claimed to be a coexistenceist wiped the sweat from his head, "Every year at this time, I have to come to sweep the graves of my comrades-in-arms, who sacrificed in the defense of Nanjing more than 70 years ago......"

"What!?" Nanke was shocked, "According to what you say, aren't you a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War?" How did you, a demon god, get into the anti-war team? And with your help, why haven't you held Nanjing yet? ”

Recalling the past eventful years, a touch of sadness appeared in the eyes of the bus driver.

"As I said before, I have low abilities, and it takes a lot of magic to maintain my human form in the human world, and I am powerless to change the tide of battle. More than 70 years ago, I was injured by an exorcist while I was sightseeing in the world, and it was a Chinese farmer who found me fainting in the field and carried me back for treatment, so that I could have a second life. ”

"As a result, my injuries had just healed, and I immediately encountered the Japanese devils attacking Nanjing, in order to hold Nanjing, ** temporarily pulled 30,000 strong men from nearby villages, and I and my life-saving benefactor were also pulled over in a daze. I felt the need to protect my savior, so I stayed in the army. ”

"Although we strong men did not join the army voluntarily, our division commander treated us well, and everyone also hated the same enemy to fight Little Japan, and I planned to fight with the garrison division until the last moment......

His tone became more and more excited, as if he had temporarily forgotten his identity as a demon god, and he was not so afraid that Xia Chi and Qianxue would kill him.

"It's a pity that we ordinary demon gods are different from your 72 pillar demon gods, and we can't stay in the human world for a long time, just the night before the war, my magic power ran out and I was forcibly expelled back to the demon world! Both the division commander and my savior died in the battle the next day, and they must have thought that I had deserted! Alas, I just feel sorry for them, so I come to visit their graves every year! ”

Listening to the bus driver tell his unbelievable history of the Anti-Japanese War, Nanke was shocked, and it didn't take much effort to judge that the other party was telling the truth - because his grandfather and second grandfather had also caught up with the tail of the Anti-Japanese War, and Nanke was very familiar with the vicissitudes of life when he recalled the past.

"Sorry to frighten you!" Nanke's attitude towards the bus driver immediately became respectful, as if he were his own elders, and there was an affection that was by no means a disguise.

Before the bus driver could react to the 180-degree change in attitude, Nanke continued: "Whether it is a human or a demon, the veterans of the Anti-Japanese War deserve the respect of all Chinese nations!" My name is Nanke, my grandfather and second grandfather are also veterans of the Anti-Japanese War, you can rest assured to go to the grave, my ring spirit and I will never bother you! Not only that, if you have any trouble in Dongshan City, you can also come to Dongshan No. 1 Middle School to find me! ”

Nanke's words were sincere, and the bus driver was very emotional after hearing it, and there was something very nostalgic flashing in his eyes.

"Thank you, I don't deserve your respect, after all, I was a deserter on the eve of the Great War...... But I'm glad that there are still young people like you in China who are thinking about veterans of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Actually, you look a bit like the Chinese farmer who saved me years ago......"

"You're just face blind, aren't you?" Qianxue ruined the solemn atmosphere in the bus, "Because most of the demon gods in the demon world are strange, with huge differences in appearance, and they are easy to identify, you suddenly came to the world after getting used to the demon world, and immediately felt that all Asians looked the same, right?" ”

"Nonsense!" The bus driver was possessed by a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, and he yelled at Qianxue, who was much higher in rank than himself, "I can tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese devils!" ”
