"Lord Demon King, we have noodles to eat today, and the human next door gave us all his meat and noodles."

The subordinate squatted next to the induction cooker, looking at the ribs tumbling inside, his saliva wet his clothes, and the Demon King seemed a little absent-minded at the moment, he silently raised his head and looked at the low ceiling.

"Spice it up."

"Lord Demon King, whether you say that humans are good or not, I have never eaten humans."

The Demon King shook his head: "It's not delicious." ”

"Have you ever eaten it? My lord. ”

"Nope."

"Oh...... Humans don't have wings, you don't like to eat them, do you? ”

The demon king never reacted much, sitting there quietly waiting for the noodles to cook, he specially asked for leave in the afternoon to send the little brother next door who let his subordinates repair the computer get on the train, when he left, he was very uncomfortable, and the big brother said that he could go to play with him if he was free, the demon king did not refuse but did not agree, just quietly watched him walk into the waiting hall, and then silently disappeared into the sea of people.

Since he came back, his mental state seems to have some problems, and he seems to be extraordinarily deep.

"Lord Demon King, the face is ready."

"You eat, I won't eat." He got up: "I'll go out for a walk." ”

The subordinate didn't hear what he said, only thinking about the meat and bones and noodles in the pot, and the demon king put on his shoes and walked out. He went out and shopped, and before he knew it, he walked to the fresh supermarket, and saw that there were discounted meat and vegetables in it, so he calculated the money in his pocket, and bought some discounted meat and a frozen chicken, and then found that the mushrooms were good, so he bought some more mushrooms.

When he passed by the supermarket, he also bought a little hot sauce and ham sausage processed in the expiration date.

He didn't feel anything wrong, but the prince who had been looking at him felt from the bottom of his heart, life really didn't let anyone go, even if it was a black alert level demon king, he was still pressed by life and didn't even have lost time, and thinking back about himself, how could he not be like this.

Not only themselves, but also teachers, including Xin Chen's uncle, in fact, they are all the same, everyone is running around for their ideal life, worrying about those big and small troubles that arise in life, no one is carefree.

Now that a year is about to pass again, during this period, there have been dozens of large and small invasions one after another, except for the last demon invasion, the others have been relatively easy to solve, but even so, counting the past year, there have been more than seventy detectives who have died on the job.

Those people were just a cold string of numbers and names to many people, but for the prince, every time he saw this list, his heart ached, because every name on that piece of paper was once a living life.

In the past year, the only way for the prince to decompress is to watch this demon king live his little life when there is no situation, he actually has something to ask this demon king, asking him why he is so strong, but he is willing to struggle to survive at the bottom of the world, and he is getting more and more presentable, they even plan to wait for the New Year, then move out of the basement and go to live in a room with a balcony.

He wanted to know the reason, because over the past year, this demon king had been too honest, so honest that he was even a little boring. As for whether he was stupid or not, the prince didn't think he was stupid, and it was his subordinate who was really stupid.

But why would a person who is not stupid be so willing to be ordinary? Thinking about it from another perspective, he definitely can't do it, he feels that he has extraordinary abilities, and he must use these abilities in a place that can be seen, and it is absolutely impossible to curl up in a corner, as a cornerstone for others to step on the soles of his feet.

"Boss, it's cheaper."

The demon king squatted on a small stall in the night market, holding a small night light: "Five yuan for one, I'll take ten." ”

"Okay, okay, take it."

The satisfied Demon King returned to the house with a large number of things, and the first thing he did was to plug in all the places in the house with different colored night lights, and the whole room suddenly became colorful.

"Lord Demon King, what are you going to do?"

The subordinates didn't understand his bewildering behavior, and the demon king crossed his waist to look at his masterpiece, and then said with a smile: "It's about to usher in the most important festival of mankind, and I see that other places outside are very beautiful, so I will also arrange this place, and there will be an atmosphere somewhat." ”

When the prince saw this, he couldn't help but laugh. He has dealt with so many otherworldly creatures, some of them do it and some of them are harmless, but after all, none of them can love life like the Demon King, what is he trying to do......

But suddenly, the prince stood up abruptly, his eyes shining: "Rong Rong, I'll go out for a while, and you continue to monitor." ”

"Understood, husband."

Soon, the prince appeared at the door of the demon king's basement, he knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, the demon king in big pants walked out of it, and after he saw the prince, he looked a little surprised: "Hello, who are you looking for?" ”

"Late night snack? I'm in for a treat. ”

After the prince said a word, the subordinates behind the demon king shouted: "Eat, eat, eat!" My lord! Eat! ”

The Demon King looked the prince up and down, and chuckled: "Someone has a treat, of course it's the best." ”

The three of them came to a restaurant around that had not yet returned for the New Year, the restaurant was not big, the owner and chef were sitting outside playing with his mobile phone, and when he saw a guest, he raised his head weakly: "What to eat?" ”

"Let's have a four-dish soup at random." The prince smiled: "Just do the best dishes." ”

The prince didn't have to look at the menu at all, because in the past year, he was so familiar with these two people, the two of them didn't have any trouble at all, and they would even go to the vegetable market to pick up vegetable leaves to eat in the most difficult times.

A few people sat down, but the demon king was very imposing, not like a non-human creature at all.

"I have a few questions for you." The prince smiled and said, "I know that you are from another time and space, and I have no intention of disturbing your life, I just want to talk to you. ”

The Prince's words alerted the Demon King, and his eyes began to roll slightly, and the Prince immediately put on his goggles: "I don't like to be read by others. ”

The Demon King stopped releasing his abilities and chuckled, "You know me well. ”

"I know you a lot, I've been watching you for a long time. Well, it doesn't matter. When the prince saw that the dishes had already come up, he pointed to those things and said to the demon king's subordinates, "Eat, it's not enough to order more." ”

The subordinates nodded again and again and said to the demon king, "My lord, he is like a good person. ”

The Demon King laughed at the time, this foolish ...... Really not a good dog.

"Actually, it's not that good." The prince smiled, "Lord Demon King...... Oh, allow me to call you that. ”

"Yes." The demon king nodded, and ate a cake that had just come up in his hand: "Let me eat first, I haven't eaten at night, I'm a little hungry." This guy will be all eaten later. ”

"It's okay, the boss can't wait for him to eat it all."

Seeing their troubled appearance, the prince did not speak, but just sat by and watched with a smile, until they ordered three rounds of dishes and ate two pots of rice, and they finally stopped.

"Lord Demon King, you make me feel like a person."

"Who?"

"My teacher." The prince put his phone next to him: "He will be like you sometimes, but in fact it is only after contact that you will discover his wisdom about life and life." Well, it doesn't matter, I just wanted to ask you why you chose such a lifestyle in this world. ”

The Demon King raised his head and looked at the prince, and was silent for a moment: "This is the life I have used my switch, and it is also the life I have chosen. ”

Really!!!

The prince's heart was pounding, and he knew it was like this! Because in the past year, the prince has always had a sense of disobedience in the process of observing him, but he doesn't know where this sense of disobedience is embodied.

Just now! Yes, just now. The prince suddenly realized one thing, that is, this demon king seemed to be nothing new to this world from the moment he first came here from the rift in time and space, although he did show curiosity later, but the intensity should definitely not be like that.

After a short period of curiosity, he quickly integrated into the world, and then there was no disobedience, which in itself was a very disobedient thing.

"Can you tell me about it?"

"Can you keep it a secret?"

"Of course." The prince spread his hands: "I have no reason not to keep it a secret. ”

The Demon King raised his head and nodded his chin slightly: "I'm over four thousand years old." ”

Well, the prince knew this, he knew it from the beginning.

"I've experienced two wars of gods and demons, a magical melee, and a religious war." The Demon King tilted his head and looked at the prince: "At my feet, there are mountains of bones and bones, and my body is covered with blood. I am the symbol of evil, I am the demon who eats people, I am the source of the evil of that world, I am the evil thoughts left over from the origin of all things. ”

The prince smiled, "I don't see it. ”

"You can't choose your origin, my father is indeed such a person, my mother is also the lord of the banshees of the ages, whether it is the gods or humans or even the dragons, they all regard them as calamities, then I am their heir, of course I am too. At least everybody thinks I am. The Demon King said, "My feet are indeed covered with bones and blood, but I ask you, you are sitting at home and doing well, and then suddenly a group of people rush in and tell you that they are going to fight against the Demon King, and they want to hang your head on the city gate, and when you hang it, you will sing, what will you do?" ”

"I'm sure I'm going to kill them." The prince couldn't help laughing: "I understand, I can understand, but what about later?" ”

"Later, when I couldn't help but go out to play in loneliness, I met a little friend, this child is probably the strongest brave, he should have come to crusade against me, but he is definitely not my opponent, he will die. But I learned from him that there were other worlds besides that strange world, and I asked him how he could go, and he said that he would go with it. I didn't actually know what it meant until I came here. ”

The prince nodded and said, "So...... Do you know now that the brave man is actually a person from this world? ”

"No, it shouldn't be. He gave me a cell phone number, and I called, but it wasn't him, and I knew that I had come to a completely different place from the world he described, but it didn't matter. The Demon King shook his head and said, "The important thing is that no one in this place knows me, no one knows that I am the Demon King, and no one will suddenly pry open my door, point at me and tell me to hang my head on the city gate, and sing fucking songs." ”

Hearing this, the prince really laughed so hard that even the demon king himself laughed.

"So that kid taught me a magic array, that magic array is definitely a miracle-level magic array, even if I used all my magic power to complete the carving, it is an exclusive magic array, others can't see it and can't use it, all I can bring is this dog, because he is my only relative." The demon king pointed to the subordinate who was already asleep on the chair next to him: "Although he is stupid. ”

The prince nodded, "And then?" ”

And then ...... I actually thought about it for a long time, if I stayed there, I would be synonymous with fear, I had endless power, money and everything, I was invincible. And if I'm going to come to a new place, I have to live like a mortal, accept my new identity, accept my new life, maybe it's dull or it's bumpy. I think the hardest thing is this choice to give up one thing in order to get something else, and in the end I gambled my 4,000 years of life and everything that belonged to the Demon King, and chose to come here. ”

"You're strong."

"No matter how strong you are, you will be upside down by life." The demon king said helplessly: "But it doesn't matter, no one here will see me and run away and I don't have to hide my identity and character anymore to live, I can live with my own original appearance, and I don't have to deliberately create the image of a lonely king in order to maintain my majesty in front of my subordinates." ”

The Demon King said, sighing, "I don't know your identity, but I hope you don't bother me again, you made me think of something bad." ”

"I see." The prince nodded and stood up: "In the future, we will only be friends." ”

"You're in for a treat."

"Of course."

After a long talk with the demon king, the prince's mood was actually suddenly brightened, he took a deep breath, and said goodbye to this demon king who was actually very smart with a smile, and neither of them even asked each other's names.

The prince returned to work with a smile, opened his lunch box, and said as if to himself: "Yes, the choice made by adults is to bear the consequences of this choice, which is very reasonable, and the teacher must think so." ”

Also, the state was relatively poor a few days ago, and I felt that my mental state was not good, and I always felt that something was hanging in my heart, which was a little annoying......
