Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Assassination of Christmas
On Christmas Day, the undercover agents of the guards pretended to have received orders from the Demon King and came to the gate of the Nine Kings Palace with various fruits and pastries.
There were two Demon Guards standing on the left and right of the door, and when they saw that the six people holding the tray were all familiar, they let them in without hesitation.
The reason why the people of the Demon Guard let them go was not because they did not fulfill their duties, but because they all knew the methods of the Demon King. Without the orders of the Demon King, no one would have the courage to enter the Nine Kings Palace.
What's more, this year, the Demon King did not issue an order not to enter the Nine Kings Palace on Christmas Day.
- Originally, Ah Jiu would instruct the captains of the Demon Guard every year that no one could enter the Nine Kings Palace on Christmas Day. But after a few years like this, Ah Jiu suddenly realized that this order was a bit of a feeling of three hundred taels of silver here. Isn't this a clear sign that Christmas is a special day for him?
After thinking about it for a while, he decided that from this year onwards, he would show people outside that Christmas was just an ordinary day, and he would just pass it quietly.
In the past few years, the Nine Kings Palace has had a spell that he personally blessed, and all the weapons that attacked the Nine Kings Palace in the past have been counterattacked by these spells, and no one has been able to destroy the Nine Kings Palace for several years, and his majesty has become more and more weighty year by year. He had been accumulating prestige for a long time, and he was confident that no one would dare to come in without his call.
Under such a mistake, the ill-intentioned undercover guards entered the Nine Kings Palace smoothly.
The guards hid their daggers under the trays, and the six entered the chamber and closed the door with their backhands. The group took their weapons out from under the trays, gestured to each other, and crept to the door of the room on the west side of the chamber.
One of them, gesticulating for everyone to take a step back, broke open the outer door of the room where Ah Jiu lived, and the people behind him quickly entered the room.
Ah Jiu stayed in the bedroom and had nothing to do, just playing with a few spells he had drawn yesterday, and felt a little bored, so he lay down on the bed to rest.
Hearing the sound of breaking the door, he was instantly awakened, and when he looked back, he saw that several people with murder weapons had broken into the bedroom, his heart jumped, and his face changed greatly.
Several people in the guard army knew that there was no way back to enter here today, and if they couldn't kill the demon king, they would only have a dead end. Since it is already a dead end, they don't look forward to the future, and they all have enough strength to fight.
The five people in the room joined forces and quickly pounced on Ah Jiu, who didn't have time to take the talisman paper under the pillow, quickly rolled over from the bed and rolled down the floor, dodging the fatal kill.
The usually spacious bedroom suddenly entered five big men, and it instantly became crowded. He was attacked on all sides, unable to use his hands and feet, and was soon defeated by several people who were caught in the flank.
Everyone was overjoyed when they saw Ah Jiu being thrown to the ground so easily. One of them, who was obviously in the lead, raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed Ah Jiu's heart.
Seeing the dagger approaching, Ah Jiu hurriedly raised his foot and swept his legs to fight back against the few people who were surrounded around, taking advantage of the situation to grab one of them to resist the siege of everyone.
As long as he leaves the small bedroom and retreats to the living room, he will have a greater chance of escaping, he does not dare to be distracted, and nervously guards against the few people in front of him.
Seeing that he was about to leave the bedroom, he keenly heard the sound of breaking the air behind him, and his heart was shocked, and before he could turn back, there was a stinging pain in his heart, and the arm he was holding the hostage trembled and loosened, and the people in his hands took the opportunity to escape, and several people in front of him also rushed up.
The man hiding in the bedroom door looked very excited when he saw the blow hit. He clenched his dagger and stabbed Ah Jiu who was trapped hand and foot.
He hated Ah Jiu, and he was also afraid of Ah Jiu, fear drove him, so he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and Ah Jiu's chest was dripping with flesh and blood, until Ah Jiu stopped breathing, he was stopped by a few people around him.
Several people looked at each other in a daze, they couldn't believe that the demon had been killed so easily?
After waiting for a while, it was finally confirmed that they were not dreaming, and several people were ecstatic, as if crazy, hugging each other tightly and shouting wildly, venting their inner fears and declaring the joy of getting rid of the nightmare.
However, although they completed the task of assassinating the Demon King, they still did not come out of the Nine Kings Palace alive. - The guards at the gate noticed the anomaly of several people, and the demon guards who rushed to the door shouted "The demon is dead!" The demon has been slain by us! The six of them were killed one by one.
However, soon the Demon Guards looked at each other in horror.
The news quickly spread, and the people in the manor knew that the demon king had been assassinated, and soon some people began to resist, and one person resisted, and there was a second person, and a third person...... Driven by the hidden guards, the leaderless Demon Guards also began to disorganize.
.............
Thinking that he died at the hands of a few ordinary people, Ah Jiu felt a depression in his heart that could not be dissipated. He looked at the peach blossom eyes that were still shining in the night, and looked at the face that was exactly the same as in the dream, and he wondered if he regretted not killing her the first time he saw her.
Every year on Christmas Eve, he dreamed of this face for five years without stopping.
The owner of this face in the dream is also called Jin Yu, and "he" is called Qian Yue.
The "he" in the dream was also wandering since he was a child and was bullied. But unlike him, "he" met Jin Yu at a very young age, was picked up by her, and took care of him with infinite care. That "he" is happy, and he feels the strong love for Jin Yu in "him" heart.
When he watched "him" and Jin Yu confide in each other and love each other in his dream, his heart was also sweet and happy;
Similarly, when he saw Jin Yu die in "his" arms, his heart also felt heart-rending pain and endless despair.
So much so that every time he wakes up from a dream, it takes a long time for the heavy love and desperate suffocation to disappear, which causes him to become an ordinary person every Christmas Day. - because he violated the laws of the demon king and fell in love with the woman in a dream.
Fortunately, it was in a dream, not his real experience, so after waking up from the dream, he was only punished for becoming an ordinary person for a day.
It's just that now, it's superfluous to say anything, wait for him to wake up, wait for him to wake up......
Ah Jiu's soul looked at Jin Yu, who was wearing a black down jacket and trembling and hurrying, his eyes were deep.
He is the only demon in this world, even if his body is destroyed, how can he die so easily. He had a spell in his mind that brought him back to life, and he had planned to find an opportunity to lure someone to help him find the medicine. However, now Jin Yu "stole" his corpse and used the Law of Time spell to keep his corpse intact. Thinking of Jin Yu's eyes as she gazed at his corpse gently, her purpose was clear.
Since he is also a person who knows spells, Jin Yu must also know the resurrection curse, so it seems that he doesn't need to bother to seduce others.
It's just, when he wakes up, what will he do...... Dispose of her.
