Today is the 100th anniversary of Lin Qiu's son's birth, and Lin Qiu, who went out on a mission, rushed back in a hurry, just to reunite with his wife and son.

However, unexpectedly, Lin Qiu had just arrived at the gate of Qingtie City, and he saw a monstrous fire, and the place where the fire was in his mansion, Lin Qiu's heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately unfolded his body and flew towards his home.

When Lin Qiu landed at the door of the house, he saw that many people came to put out the fire with buckets and wooden basins, but they were all stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the door.

Lin Qiu wondered in his heart, with his status in this green iron city, who would dare to set fire to his home? Moreover, these officers and soldiers not only did not help to put out the fire, but also prevented others from putting out the fire.

But Lin Qiu didn't have time to think about it, he stepped forward and kicked open the door, and the officers and soldiers at the door were about to stop him, but after seeing the person who came, he hesitated and gave up.

When Lin Qiu came to the courtyard, he saw his good friend at a glance, Zhang Ming, the chief soldier of Qingtie City, but Lin Qiu didn't have time to question why Zhang Ming didn't save his wife and children, and Lin Qiu already had a guess in his heart about such a scene.

He immediately rushed towards the house, because he vaguely heard a cry in the room, it was his son's cry, with Lin Qiu's strength of a fifth-level elemental envoy, these flames could not bring him the slightest harm.

After Zhang Ming saw Lin Qiu who broke in, he was stunned at first, and then his face changed, but he was immediately covered up by him, and Lin Qiu, who was eager to save people, didn't notice it.

Zhang Ming's eyes flickered and he wanted to catch up, but Lin Qiu didn't pay attention to him at all, and rushed directly towards the house, seeing that Lin Qiu was about to rush into the room, Zhang Ming hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth fiercely and rushed up.

Zhang Ming saw Lin Qiu when he came up, but he didn't care, because he and Zhang Ming were good brothers, and Zhang Ming was able to become the chief soldier of Qingtiecheng thanks to Lin Qiu's help, so Lin Qiu only thought that Zhang Ming went in with him to save people.

It was also because of his trust in Zhang Ming, when a sword tip pierced through his chest, Lin Qiu's figure froze, and he looked down at his chest with an unbelievable face, this sword essence pierced his heart accurately, and the rapid passage of life made Lin Qiu stand unstable and fall directly to the ground.

Turning his head with difficulty, Lin Qiu looked at his good brother with a "why" look, that is, Zhang Ming, who attacked him with a sword.

Seeing that Lin Qiu was seriously injured and unable to stand, Zhang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, it was impossible to kill Lin Qiu head-on with Zhang Ming's strength, because Zhang Ming was only a third-level elemental envoy, although it was easy to deal with dozens or hundreds of ordinary people, but in front of Lin Qiu, a fifth-level elemental envoy, he would not have a chance at all.

Looking at Lin Qiu's puzzled eyes, Zhang Ming smiled, laughing presumptuously and arrogantly.

Zhang Ming laughed for a long time, as if he wanted to release all the fear in his heart.

Zhang Ming, who finally stopped laughing, looked at Lin Qiu and said slowly: "Lin Qiu, I admit that you are a good person, and I have to thank you for being able to have today, but do you know how miserable my life is?"

"Even if I became the commander of the Blue Iron City, I still couldn't be happy, because those damn ministers often talked about me behind my back, saying that my position was given to me by you, that you didn't look down on the position of the chief soldier and gave it to me, and I couldn't hold my head up in front of them."

"So you think you've helped me so much that I'll be grateful to you in my heart? You are wrong, in fact, what I hate the most is you, because of your existence, everything I do will be compared with you, and your excellence makes me even more unable to raise my head in front of you, and I don't even have the courage to surpass you. ”

The two of us grew up together, and when I was young, I was better than you everywhere, why did Zhu'er just like you? I'm not convinced, but we're good brothers, and I don't want to turn against you. ”

"Later, your talent showed and began to surpass me, and gradually became much better than me, at that time I was thinking, I am relieved that Zhu'er can follow you."

"But why don't you care about power and money? You don't care about it, don't you want Zhu'er to have a better life with you? You could have given her a better life, why would you choose not? ”

"I'm different from you, I love power, I love money, although your ability is obvious to all, and your strength is also the well-deserved number one in Qingtie City, so all the difficult tasks in the city The city lord has to rely on you, but you refuse the city lord's reward every time."

"I know that you have an indifferent temperament and don't value fame and fortune, but the city lord doesn't think so, he thinks that you refused to give the reward because the reward is not enough."

"The last time the task of suppressing bandits was completed, the city lord appointed you as the deputy city lord, but I didn't expect you to still refuse, you don't even want to be the deputy city lord, do you want to be the city lord?"

"Although this is just the city lord's speculation, but because of this, the city lord began to be wary of you, and began to plot to get rid of you, and with your strength, no one is your opponent in a head-on confrontation, so a sneak attack is the only way."

"In this Qingtie City, I am the only one who can have a chance to sneak attack you, originally I didn't want to kill Zhu'er and your child, but this is the order of the city lord, I can't disobey it, because the reward promised to me by the city lord is too difficult to refuse."

"I wanted to wait until you found out that Zhu'er and your child were dead, when you were the saddest, but I didn't expect you to come back early, but it's okay, it's as if the mission was completed ahead of schedule."

"Lin Qiu, you have been a good person all your life, and now you will become a brother again, the city lord said, if this mission is completed, the position of the deputy city lord will be mine, I see who will dare to talk about me behind my back in the future, hahaha...... At the end, Zhang Ming laughed out loud. ”

Lin Qiu didn't say a word after listening to Zhang Ming's words, turned his head, stared at the fire affectionately, and then crawled towards the fire little by little, in fact, with Lin Qiu's strength as a fifth-level elemental envoy, it was still possible to save his life if he immediately ran away to heal his injuries, but Lin Qiu gave up.

At this moment, he regretted it, regretted everything he had done, regretted that he had been a good person all his life, but he did not get a little trust and gratitude.

In the end, he was betrayed by his friends, and it didn't matter if he died, and he also affected his wife who loved him deeply and his 100-day-old child.

Crawling towards the fire, Lin Qiu suddenly remembered that when he went out on a mission, he met an old gentleman with crane hair and a childish face, the old gentleman stared at him for a long time, raised his hand and handed him a pitch-black bead, asked him to keep it close to him, and then said six words to him, "The end of the right, the beginning of the devil."

When he reacted and wanted to ask what was going on, he found that the old gentleman had disappeared.

At this moment, Lin Qiu figured it out, he smiled and climbed into the fire, as if he had seen his wife and son beckoning to him in front of him, Lin Qiu whispered, "If there is a next life, I will not be a righteous person, I want to become a demon, to be a terrifying demon, just for the people I love." ”

The fire burned for a full day, because of the guards of the officers and soldiers, no one came to put out the fire, until the whole house was reduced to ashes.

Zhang Ming went to confirm that there was no longer the breath of a living person, and then returned with the officers and soldiers to resume his life.

No one noticed that after everyone left, an old Taoist priest appeared on the ruins, only to see the old Taoist priest stretched out his hand to the ruins, and a black bead flew into his hand, the old Taoist priest put away the bead, turned around and disappeared.

I only heard a sentence "The world will be chaotic, mankind will be catastrophic, the demon king will be born, and the vitality will remain." ”
