Captain Yao has been busy day and night recently, just like that, there is still a big mess of things waiting for him to deal with in the city, and when he is busy arranging a new strategy to defend the city, he heard someone pass the word, and the city lord let him pass.

The city lord is not in the office today, but in his own small courtyard.

Captain Yao is not too familiar with the city lord's residence, and he can find it with his eyes closed.

I walked quickly all the way to the small courtyard where the city lord lived, and was about to knock on the door, when I heard the city lord's voice coming from inside the door.

"Come in."

Captain Yao came in directly, and saw that the city lord was sitting on the small stone table looking at a report, and when he saw Captain Yao coming in, the city lord smiled and pointed to the seat next to him, motioning for him to sit down and say.

Captain Yao knew the city lord very well, so he didn't say anything, sat down next to the city lord, and asked with a smile:

"City Lord, are you looking for me?"

The city lord put down the report in his hand and asked:

"Xiaoyao, you have been with me for more than ten years, right?"

"It's been thirteen years, when I followed you at the beginning, I was still a young man, and now I'm an uncle."

"Yes, the years are not forgiving~~

You say, if there is a choice of immortality in front of you, but you also have to pay some price for it, are you willing? ”

"Immortality? Only transcendents can live for thousands of years, right, city lord, you are about to become extraordinary? ”

"What do you kid think! I don't have five grades until now, how can I be extraordinary? ”

"Then you ask me what this is?"

"It's just that people are old and have such wonderful ideas, and if you don't want to answer, forget it."

The city lord smiled and waved his hand, the clothes didn't matter.

"You say you have to pay a certain price to live forever, but the reality is that no matter what you do, there is always a price.

I don't think it's impossible to afford the price. ”

"And what if the price is to be no longer human?"

"This ...... Sometimes, I also feel that being a human being is too tiring, and I am not as happy as some small animals.

But if I really have to give up being a human being, then I still don't want to.

Do you think I'm so cheap? ”

Captain Yao said self-deprecatingly.

When the city lord heard this, he didn't answer immediately, but was thinking about something, and after a long time, the city lord raised his head again, and sighed after scanning the flowers and plants in his small courtyard.

"Actually, I don't care if I can live forever, I just want to see those people get the punishment they deserve in my lifetime.

But I've been waiting for thirty years, and those people are either dying of old age or alive and well.

Ay~~

It is said that evil is recompensed with evil, but where is the evil retribution of these people?

I can't see!

I myself have done many evils now, and I will not be redeemed by death, but where is my evil reward?

Anyway, I can't see hope, so what's the difference between being a person or not~~"

Looking at the city lord's infinitely sad appearance, Captain Yao thought that the city lord was old, sad and sad, and said with relief:

"City Lord, you are too worried, now that Fuqing Country is thriving, with the protection of the Qing Emperor and the maintenance of the official government, it is a good sign, how can there be no hope?

Besides, you have defended the country for 30 years, and you have worked hard and made great achievements, where is the responsibility? ”

Hearing this, the city lord shook his head and said:

"If I told you that I created the zombie plague, would you believe it?"

"Haha, City Lord, you're kidding again.

Who in the lower city doesn't know your character, city lord, and even those bandits who hate you to death have to admit your charisma.

If you want to say that you are a bad person, then there will be no good people in the whole Liangzhou! ”

"No, I'm not kidding, I did it all.

Killing people and refining corpses, taking souls to create demons, slaughtering innocents, and so far more than 300,000 people have died because of me. ”

The city lord said with a serious face.

"Castle Lord...... Are you not feeling well today, or would you like to take a good rest? ”

Captain Yao still didn't quite believe what the city lord said.

Seeing this, the city lord smiled bitterly:

"After being a good person all my life, when he did a heinous evil thing, no one believed it......

For many years, I have been working on the fight against bandits, and in addition to exterminating them by force, I am also using internal divisions.

After years of hard work, I successfully recruited Jiang Weiyi, the leader of the Xu Mutual Gang.

In order to prevent the other bandits from noticing Jiang Weiyi's change of fortune, I personally went out and met him in the Longitudinal Mountains to discuss the plan to exterminate the other bandits.

It would have been all right......

Until, we accidentally found an ancient dragon ruins.

Jiang Weiyi was very unlucky, triggered a trap in the ruins, and died on the spot.

I was lucky enough to survive, and I found something on the outskirts of the ruins, everything that had been left over from ancient times.

Among them is a forbidden technique called 'Corpse Demon Imagination', which is a method that an ancient dragon can deduce at will in his spare time.

This secret method can artificially create corpse demons, refining corpses, and zombies.

This small trick that is not worth mentioning for Gu Long touched my heart fiercely.

You know? I thought that even if I was relegated to a place like the lower border city, I would be conscientious and dedicated to my duties for the rest of my life.

However, the moment I saw the forbidden technique, I was shaken.

It turns out that all along, my heart has been full of hatred, and everything I do is actually to hide the dissatisfaction in my heart......

Realizing this, my thoughts became more and more crazy and out of control.

I tried to use the 'corpse demon vision' on the dead Jiang Weiyi, and he became a faithful servant with his original memories.

And, I found that he no longer seemed to have to worry about running out of life.

As long as there is vitality, you can live forever.

At that moment, I was completely moved.

I want to live longer, I want to watch those people with beastly faces die before me one by one.

Even, I want to use this forbidden technique to kill all the people who persecuted me and persecuted those innocent people back then.

......

After leaving the Longitudinal Broken Mountain Range, I went to Qigaopo and Qifeng Slope to try it again, and turned those few masters into corpse demons and corpse refiners.

It was also from this moment that my mind completely changed.

I hid all the relevant traces and made Jiang Weiyi the main messenger on the bright side.

I arranged for him to attack the city several times, just to see what the government thought about this matter.

But they were so disappointing that I had reported to them a total of seventeen times since the beginning of the operation.

The result?

No one pays attention, no one comes to help.

Sometimes I wish someone would come here and expose my crimes and bring me to justice......

However, I was disappointed, until now, except for that group of hot-blooded young people, they took action and eliminated Jiang Weiyi.

No one else was involved......

Xiao Yao, you say, is such a Fuqing country really thriving?

Are the possibilities really endless? ”

After speaking, the city lord was already in tears.

Captain Yao was silent as early as halfway through the city lord's speech......

Half-ringing, Captain Yao said:

"I've been with you since I was young, and I haven't been to big places, so I don't know what those big places are.

But I know that this is my home, and you are my family.

But now, you've made my home like this, and you've become someone else.

I don't want to say anything big, I just want to say that you are wrong to do this.

Castle Lord, turn back!

Come with me to the capital, no, to Kyoto, to turn myself in! ”

"Kyoto? Surrender? Hahahaha~~~"

The lord of the city laughed mockingly,

"Naïve, so naïve, hahaha~~"

"Castle Lord......"

"Okay, Xiao Yao, I've told you so much, it's enough, next, I'm going to get out of here and finish the next thing.

As for you......"

......
