General Ning is dying.

The news spread like a thunderbolt across Shang'an City, causing people to be shocked and angry, and curses were boiling for a while.

It's so bold!

What kind of thing with no eyes is making this kind of rumor? Lord Ning has protected Shang'an from monsters for twenty years, and the blessing is profound, not to mention, just say that people are ninth-order evolved new humans, and their longevity is not as good as that Nanshan?

The more people talked, the more angry they became, and they remembered that General Ning defeated the ghost king with a long sword three days ago, and the scenery was beautiful, but it was an auspicious day but he heard such a sad word, so he spontaneously went to Ning's mansion to complain.

You have to pull out the long-tongued rat who deceives the people!

Wu Wu made trouble in front of Zhumen, but he was dumbfounded.

"Forgive the little old man's old eyes for being dizzy - Master Jun," the old man led by trembling pointed to the miserable white Shouhua in the center of the Zhumen, and stretched out his hand to fight.

At the same time, he chattered in his mouth, "unlucky", "I sent one" and so on.

Frightened, the doorman hurried to stop him. However, there was chaos in front of the door, and he was afraid of hurting the old man, so the tall and burly doorman had to make a bitter face and act as a human flesh fence.

"Master Jun, you should talk about it," the people panicked, "the general just killed the ghost king, this great joy, why hang such an unlucky thing?" ”

The prickly question reddened the doorman's eyes.

"Sir...... I'm afraid I'm ......."

"Wow!"

……

--------------

The Ning family's mansion is deep, and the chaos in front of the door is no more than the red wall and blue tile.

General Ning's face was pale, and he was even better than three points in plain clothes.

The old man sat in the big wooden chair, but he didn't have the majesty of the past, and the weakness between his eyebrows and eyes made him a little less solemn and a little more kind.

The old dragon clock, the twilight of the hero, about that.

More than 30 members of the main family gathered in the ancestral hall, looking at the emaciated back of the old man, which was completely different from the impression of the stubborn and invincible "Ning Dao Demon", and the whimpering of grief came and went.

"General Ning Family," the old man squinted his eyes and said sluggishly: "What kind of body is it to cry and cry like this!" ”

"Father, your wounds ......"

"I have been in the army for 20 years, and I have been fighting for more than 50 years now, and there are many souls under the knife, how can I ever fear death?" The old man waved his hand, "Xiao An stays, and the others retreat." ”

Military orders are like mountains, this is a truth that everyone in the Ning family has remembered since childhood, and there has never been a precedent for exceeding the rules.

It's just that this time it's slower.

It wasn't until the old man's brows furrowed slightly that everyone suddenly retreated, leaving only a young man still kneeling in place.

The young man's name is Ning An, who just turned sixteen years old at the beginning of the month, with a long body, red lips and white teeth, and a handsome birth, and with the reputation of Ning Fu, he has a lot of attention among the people.

Half of them are fans of appearance, no matter before or after the disaster, appearance is always sought after, and Ning'an, who has good looks and family background, is naturally a piece of fragrant bait.

And the other half is - "Little Black".

The general's family gave birth to a scholarly appearance, his strength is not tied to chickens, his hands are not stained with blood, and he supports a good pair of skins!

It's probably the rumor of the red-eyed, Ning An is not as unbearable as the rumors, on the contrary, Ning An has learned martial arts and fought since he was a child, but the battle is limited to fighting with the first-order puppet.

But this is completely unacceptable in the Ning family, which is full of talents, you must know that Ning An's peers are the most unbearable because they have been injected with third-order evolution elixirs and killed second-level puppets.

"Xiao An, come."

"Grandpa!" Ning An hurriedly got up and went to pick up the old man, "Grandpa, you ...... You slow down. ”

As soon as Ning An picked up the old man, tears fell down his eyes.

Grandpa was an invincible existence when he was young, his back was higher than the sky, his arms were thicker than the ground, and he stood at the city gate with a bright armor and horizontal sword like a god - why is it so light now?

"Don't cry, don't cry, alas!" The old man rubbed the young man's head dotingly, and there was a hint of happiness in the depths of his eyes.

"Xiao An, do you hate grandpa?"

"What? I didn't hear you. Ning An was stunned, "I seem to be ...... Did you hear it wrong? ”

The old man shook his head, "Everyone in the Ning Mansion knows that Xiao An, your talent is excellent, and at the age of six, you awakened the red-level talent 'Crazy Bone' on your own, as long as you pile up resources to cultivate, your future achievements will definitely be above me—and the Ning family, the most important thing is resources." ”

"But I don't want to be dismissive, I don't allow you to absorb puppet crystals, and I don't allow you to inject evolution potions, but I just let you learn martial arts, boil your muscles and bones, and 'waste' your talent in vain, and end up with a fancy reputation." The old man said frankly, "So Xiao An, do you hate grandpa?" ”

Ning An scratched his head and said, "You are my grandfather, you must have your reason, I listen to you." ”

"Good, good, good! Hahaha...... Ahem......" The old man smiled heartily and took the young man's hand, "Xiao An, grandpa didn't disappoint you!" ”

"What is a puppet?

Strange also, strange also.

At the beginning of the cataclysm, strange diseases ravaged human beings, the infected lost their self-awareness, their wisdom was no better than that of a beast, they were as ignorant as a fetus, their strength increased suddenly, and those who scratched and bit were quickly infected.

The innate puppet is only transformed by the invasion of demonic qi by alien demons outside the sky in the early stage, and this is a first-order to third-order puppet; The more puppets there are, the stronger the demonic energy, and the powerful demons can gain a foothold, there will be real puppets that harm people, and their threat is worse than natural disasters, which has never been heard of in ancient times. ”

Looking at the old man who was talking, Ning An stroked his back lightly, and at the same time responded, "Yes, grandpa, it is recorded in the book that after killing the puppet, the heavenly spirit may feed back the reward, and the sacrifice of the puppet crystal to the heavenly spirit also has a chance to activate the talent." ”

"But it is not recorded in the book, what is a puppet."

The old man's face was heavy, he lifted the corner of his plain clothes, and pointed to the wound on his left chest that had long ceased to bleed and penetrated his body, "This is, puppet!" ”

"We new humans are puppets! Absorbs the hedron dropped after killing the golem and injects an evolution agent made from the hedrons. But Xiao An, think about it, how did the puppet come about? Demonic energy! And the demonic energy is all concentrated in the puppet crystal, how is it different from absorbing the demonic energy, and how is it different from infection?

From the first injection of the evolution agent, I noticed the abnormality of my body, and the ninth order was even more tingling, and I was close to the alien demon who was not free!

Aren't the new humans conscious puppets? ”

"What? This ......" Ning An's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt like falling into the abyss, and his heart was piercing cold.

If so, if so......

Then the entire Ning family, no...... So won't all mankind be unwittingly transformed into demons in the future?

After more than a hundred years of cataclysm, even the poorest and weakest children can get a piece of first-order puppet crystals!

"So, we need someone who has never absorbed a puppet, and it has to be a genius—"

The old man's eyes were burning, he suddenly stood up, stared at Ning An's eyes, and said solemnly: "Xiao An, you have a high level of understanding, you can endure hardships, and your talent is even higher, and you have never absorbed puppet crystals!" ”

"We, a few ninth-order old men, pin all our hopes on you!"

Ning An froze in place, not knowing how to respond.

I?

"Grandpa! You're not kidding, are you? Ning An pointed to himself, hurriedly waved his hand, and stopped talking.

High-level alien demons are rampant outside the city, and there are many puppets in the city who have been rebelled, if you don't inject the evolution agent, how can you become stronger quickly, and even save humanity in that ethereal way?

I can't even dream of a solution!

"Xiao An, how can you not do it?" The old man smiled and took Ning An's hands, and flipped out a pocket watch-style item and put it in his hand.

"Just a few heavenly demons, how did you hurt grandpa?" The old man's huge hand clenched the young man's fist, "A few of our old things sacrificed their lives, collected thousands of time-type treasures, and invited the magic weapon that Master Wuchen spent half a year making-Gu Yue, and I will hand it over to you today!" ”

The young man's pupils constricted, his eyes filled with tears, and he unconsciously looked at the fatal wound covered by the old man.

"Ning An, you can turn back time and space by moving it, and go back to the day of the cataclysm.

Remember, don't absorb the golems! Practice the Heavenly Dao lineage, and then ...... Find us a way out! ”

"Grandpa......"

"Go! Don't embarrass the Ning family! ”

Ning An took the long knife handed by the old man with both hands, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

Pressing the pocket watch, the 'ancient moon' shined brightly, stilling the old man's tranquility, freezing the sorrow of the Ning family, and suppressing the noise of the people.

The sun in the sky was replaced by a bright moon, and a young man with a sword was inadvertently missing under the moon.

---------------

"Oh, brother, brother!"

On the noisy university playground, the sturdy young man who had just finished pulling the horizontal bar had his eyes shining and stared at Ning An.

"Brother is so handsome! And you...... This knife? I'll go! It's so heavy! Mom, where did you buy it...... it! What a thing! ”

Ning An rubbed his sore eyes and subconsciously clenched the pocket watch in his hand.
