Chapter 5: The World

The black Toyota Crown car drove up to the front of the school gate and slowly stopped.

The power supply has been restored, and the lights are on in the duty room at the school gate.

The security guard poked his head out of the room, saw that it was the teacher, and opened the door to let him go.

"Mu Yun, do you hate this world?"

Teacher Song asked suddenly.

"Huh?"

Mu Yun sat in the co-pilot, expressing his bewilderment at this sudden question.

Before he could think of how to answer, Mr. Song then asked, "Do you know the movie "Truman's World"?"

Mu Yun thought for a moment and nodded.

Although he hasn't seen it, he knows what the movie is about.

"Truman's World" tells that Truman is actually the protagonist of a serial, everyone around him is actors, and what happens is deliberately arranged by the director, but he himself knows nothing about it. It wasn't until later that Truman discovered the truth about this "world" and finally went to the road of freedom at all costs.

"Next, I'm going to tell you about the real side of this world, and the shock it may bring you is tantamount to Truman discovering that he has been living in a TV series. ”

Teacher Song said with a serious expression, "So, are you mentally prepared?"

Mu Yun swallowed his saliva and nodded.

"Very well, so what questions do you have, now you can start asking!"

Teacher Song said with satisfaction.

"What?" Mu Yun's eyes widened, "Wait, isn't it just that you are responsible for speaking, and I am responsible for listening?

"Forehead......" Teacher Song scratched his head, his expression a little embarrassed, "Because I suddenly found that I don't seem to know where to start." ”

"But I don't know where to start, hey!"

"Then pick what you want to know the most, I will add as I answer, in short, I must know everything!" Teacher Song said with a big grin.

"Uh, that cat just now... What the hell is it?"

Mu Yun thought for a while and decided to ask this question first.

"Demon, it's a cat demon. You know, right? It's the river demon, the fox demon, the white bone spirit, and the bull demon king...... Something like that. Teacher Song said.

"Are there really youkai in this world?"

"It's always been there, and it's right next to the general public. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a Zhiwei called "Xuanwei Lu", which said: "The people who live in the world are half of people and ghosts, and ghosts know that they are not human, and people do not know them." It means that youkai have always lived around people, but people don't know about it. ”

"Why did the cat demon attack me? Could it be that I am the reincarnation of Tang Seng and it is coming to eat my meat?" asked Mu Yun again.

"Haha, can your imagination not be so rich!" Teacher Song smiled, "But compared to Tang Seng, you are more likely to be the reincarnation of Sun Wukong, maybe it is the descendant of the king of the mountain in Journey to the West, and he came to you to avenge his ancestors!"

"I'm the reincarnation of the Monkey King?

Mu Yun was stunned, how did this plot sound a little familiar.

Dare to love me as the supreme treasure?

So where is my Zixia Fairy?

"Because you have demon blood flowing from your body, you are a half-demon. Teacher Song said lightly.

"What?" Mu Yun's eyes widened as big as copper bells, "I'm a half-demon? How is this possible! If I'm a monster, why don't I know it myself!"

"In the past 18 years, I have grown up under the red flag, and I have never felt any different from others.

"Did you make a mistake?"

"I'm not mistaken, and you listen to me first," Mr. Song continued.

"Actually, it's not just you, many people have demon blood flowing in their bodies, but they don't know it.

"You are indeed different from other people, and although you have not shown any signs so far, you will soon know what makes you different from others. ”

"Then how do you know that I have demon blood flowing from my body?...... wait" Mu Yun suddenly remembered an important matter, "Didn't you even know my name when you appeared tonight!!"

"Well, I pretended to be it. Teacher Song said lightly, "I'm just feeling angry that this student has forgotten the name of my dear subject teacher." ”

“...... And why did you just show up at the school when the cat demon attacked me?"

"That's right, I'm also a half-demon, and I'm also responsible for reporting demon-related incidents in this area.

"I felt the demonic aura tonight, so I rushed over to check on the situation as soon as possible.

"In short, you can understand me as the 'police' of this jurisdiction.

"No, the 'police' is too advanced, it's still 'assistant police', no, no, no, it's really 'chengguan' that is more appropriate.

"Alas, after all, I'm just a little salted fish and a half-demon ......"

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Mu Yun interrupted with a look of disbelief, "You said that you are a demon who has become a salted fish?

“...... What the hell, you are the salted fish essence! Your whole family is salted fish essence!" Teacher Song's mouth was crooked.

"I mean, my strength is not very strong, and my level in the half-demon can only be called half a bucket of water!

"Originally, the normal process was that I only needed to be responsible for reporting, and then there would be someone to deal with all kinds of demon-related incidents.

"But tonight's situation, obviously it's too late to wait for support, I rushed over to see that something big is going to happen, and I have to go up to save people no matter what!

"Fortunately, I had set up a formation at the school beforehand, just in case.

"Otherwise, the two of us would have already confessed to be there tonight, to be in the company of the heroic spirits of those great men!"

At this time, a sweet female voice came from the navigation: "...... There is a congestion 500 meters ahead, the length is 300 meters, and the estimated travel time is 7 minutes. The road is slippery on rainy days, so please drive carefully. ”

Teacher Song's speed gradually slowed down until it came to a complete stop.

Countless glare brake lights in front of you, horns blaring, and traffic jams.

"Okay, even if what you say is true, there are really monsters in this world, and I'm a ...... Half-demons, then here's the problem," Mu Yun blinked, "Since youkai have always existed, and youkai are so powerful, why are they hiding and afraid of being known by humans?"

"That's a very good question," Mr. Song nodded.

"In fact, a long time ago, everyone knew the existence of gods, demons and ghosts, and there was no absolutely clear boundary between humans and demons.

"Therefore, although the half-demon has demon blood flowing in his body, in the hearts of the vast majority of half-demons, they tend to regard themselves as a member of the human race. ”

"The problem is, however, that humans don't think so," Mr. Song sighed softly.

"Human beings have always believed that if they are not of our race, their hearts must be different. Since ancient times, the general public's attitude towards demons has been more fear than respect, and rejection is greater than acceptance.

"For example, the witch hunt that lasted for hundreds of years in medieval Europe was actually a campaign with ulterior motives to purge the half-demons.

So, later, the ghosts and gods hid in the market and no longer showed their heads, and fewer people knew about their existence.

"Until today, youkai have been completely reduced to legends, and not only you, but the vast majority of modern people no longer believe in the existence of youkai in the world. ”

"So you're saying that the demon is actually hiding to protect itself?" Mu Yun said.

"Bingo!" Teacher Song nodded, "To be exact, it's only the half-demon that is hidden." Because you have to know that the half-demon and the real demon are actually two different concepts and existences. ”

"Real ...... Demon Clan?" Mu Yun swallowed, "What is the real Demon Clan?"
