There is no change in the small restaurant today from yesterday. Chang'an Lane is still closed, and the Canal District is still closed. Brother Zhang is sitting on his throne reading a book. It is not an enigmatic book, but an ordinary funny novel.
It’s a story about a very awesome man who opened a restaurant, not to mention it’s quite immersive.
The weather outside has been bad these past few days. It is unbearably hot in Rose City and snowflakes are falling on Chang'an Lane. It is very extreme weather. Brother Zhang is too lazy to go out for a walk. He doesn't feel uncomfortable staying at home. After all, this
He is a person who can hold himself in an underground fortress for twenty years, and squatting at his workstation to catch fish is already one of his leisure activities.
He had heard that the outside world was about to be turned upside down recently. Old Europe was in a state of war. More than three million war refugees continued to pour into Western Europe. Germany also restarted its military-industrial system that had been mothballed since World War II.
He looks like he is ready to start a group tour at any time.
England, the hardest-hit area, has been in a mess recently. The extreme cold and the collapse of the guardian system have caused their public security to hit rock bottom. The crime rate and unemployment rate have soared at the same time. The final glory of the Empire on which the sun never sets turns out to be in the field of supernatural crime.
, according to incomplete statistics from last quarter, the number of supernatural crimes in the entire UK has exceeded 13,000, reaching the first-class level in the world, and even the beautiful country that has always been the leader is far behind.
However, in addition to these natural and man-made disasters, the British Lafayette was unable to survive this winter as expected by Thunder Dragon. The British Commonwealth, which had lost its pillar of faith, staged a brotherhood on the third day after Lafayette passed away.
The drama of family separation is undoubtedly another slap on the head of Britain, who is seriously ill.
While Europe is in a mess, Asia is not much better. The magical country on the South Asian subcontinent is experiencing its darkest moment in a hundred years. The widespread spread of the plague has put them in a state of emergency. They were already poor.
A few states are now more likely to sharpen their swords against cattle and sheep at any time, and the clouds of war and death hang over the ancient countries on the banks of the Ganges.
Apart from them, the overall situation in Asia is not that good. Xiao Baga has collapsed, both economically and politically. Looking at Xiao Baga now, it is hard to imagine that they were the top players in Asia a few decades ago.
overlord.
Anyway, the whole world is in a bad place, no one can live a comfortable life, and the overall situation highlights the misfortune.
However, whether it is Europe or Asia, they are both regions with good foundations and have experienced strong winds and waves. In comparison, they are still very restrained. Africa's Nagada is a bit sinister.
Food crisis, war crisis, racial crisis, public health crisis, etc., anyway, all human beings have been stacked with debuffs that should be stacked, and debuffs that should not be stacked have also been stacked. In just half a year, tens of millions of people have been thrown away, and instead
In other words, everyone in a very large city has disappeared. This cannot be said to be a humanitarian crisis. This is a crisis, a real crisis.
What’s even more frightening is that no one knows when this pattern will end. Anyway, the United Nations has issued a warning that mankind may regress as a whole. As for how many years they will regress, they did not say, but judging from the expressions and tone during the meeting, if it continues
If famine, war, disease, and extreme weather conditions continue like this, mankind will at least be regressed to 1573 AD, and maybe even more.
These international events seem to have nothing to do with ordinary people, but Brother Zhang's small restaurant is the most obvious example - there is no one left.
If this wasn't Brother Zhang's shop, I'm afraid it would have gone out of business a long time ago. Just like the tea restaurant at the entrance of the alley, it hasn't been open for business for a month and a half. Brother Zhang discovered this when he went out to buy things this morning.
There is a transfer sign on the tea restaurant.
To be honest, Brother Zhang felt a little regretful because he felt that the food in that tea restaurant was of good quality and the price was reasonable. Even if it was a competitive relationship, it was really not something to be happy about just watching a rival leave like this.
, but unfortunately this kind of thing happens every day.
The scenes around us clearly have the word "disaster year" written on their faces, but no matter how arrogant humans are, they don't have the ability to compete with this kind of force. The only thing they can do is to endure it day by day, hoping that
Everything will be different next spring when the flowers bloom.
At this time, there was the sound of Old Feng teaching Yu Heng how to box outside the window. It had been several days. Perhaps after seeing Chen Shi sitting and dissolving his troops, Old Feng felt that it was a pity to waste all his skills, so
Simply find Chen Shi as an apprentice. After all, Yu Heng's talent is pretty good. He can learn the essence of Chen Shi in a short period of time. The rest is just time to hone, and now his boxing skills
If you give it to him again, you can really create a great master.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, Xiao Hei has got a very accurate set of tarot cards. Do you want a fortune telling?"
Xu Wei came to Brother Zhang excitedly and asked with a smile: "It's really accurate."
Brother Zhang waved his hand: "No, it can't be calculated. By the way, nothing strange has bothered you recently, right?"
"Me? It's been a long time, why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Xu Wei asked curiously: "They can't be so blind, right?"
Brother Zhang frowned, then shook his head: "Forget it, it's okay."
If it had been anyone else, Xu Wei would have pressed her all the way, but Brother Zhang said it was best not to ask for details when nothing was wrong, because there are some things that really shouldn't be known to them. This is a rule of thumb. And if Xiao Zhang
Whatever he wants to say, he will never hide it.
As for what Brother Zhang felt, it was actually quite interesting, that is, a new demon god was born. Although this demon god was still in its infancy, it was indeed born. It was born among an ordinary person, so far away from this
The place is not too far away.
The origin of the Demon God is still a mystery. Some people think that the birth of the Demon God is related to the environment, but there is no concrete evidence. Some people think that the birth of the Demon God is due to personal factors, but there is no conclusive evidence.
.Looking at it, a demon god may be born in almost all eras, all species, and all regions.
And the demon god is also one of the mission targets of the Twelve Spirits, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many demon gods sealed on the rafters of the small restaurant.
Another point is that the so-called devil is just a title. It is a general name for creatures whose power has reached the upper limit of the human world but has not entered the upper three realms, and has no place of origin and has not been removed. Those who have a place of origin are called gods descending, and those who have gone out.
They are called immortals, and those who wander around the world are called demons.
Demons are not necessarily evil, but because they have not systematically learned how to control power, they end up being controlled by power. Creatures controlled by power are very terrifying, especially demons formed by humans, who are controlled by desire.
A wise puppet, just think about it and you will know how scary this thing can be.
And this is why Brother Zhang asked Xu Wei if anything has harassed her during this period, because her physique is really the best container. If her body is occupied by a demon, then in addition to the twelve spirits,
In addition to the above, the only thing left is to use the power of the upper three realms. Even the ordinary upper three realms may not be able to handle it, and the main god level has to appear.
But since she said that nothing bothered her during this period, Brother Zhang was relieved. As for the demon god, that was not under his jurisdiction because the level was too low and he was not worthy.
And the demon god sensed by Brother Zhang is really not far from Chang'an Lane. It is attached to an ordinary young man, acting as a descending god, tempting the young man to pursue power step by step.
.
If I have to describe it, it is actually like the development journey of the protagonist of a normal passionate novel. They may only have gained a little bit of power at the beginning, but as they are guided by these powers, they grow bit by bit into the most powerful ones.
A character who follows his or her inner desires in the course of his actions will unearth the evil in people's hearts and then expand it step by step.
Brother Zhang, who has read many novels, still has a say in this. After a novel is formed, unless it is suddenly taken over by someone in the middle, the characteristics of the character will definitely expand little by little along with the personality.
The protagonist of some novels is a good person at the beginning, but with every choice he makes, he will eventually become a very strange person. In fact, this is not the author of the novel who has the final say in many cases, but in the true sense.
The characters themselves are writing the story.
The most classic one is Murong Fu in Mr. Jin Yong's book. Wasn't he the one who chose the last madness step by step? Following his obsessions and character traits, he dragged himself bit by bit into the abyss of eternal destruction. But
As for what he did wrong, Murong Fu couldn't have done anything wrong. He just wanted to be the emperor.
The devil also exists. Few people can resist the temptation of money, beauty, power, strength, etc. After all, you and I are all mortal.
And just when Brother Zhang sensed the Demon God, this Demon God had just taken shape in the body of a young man. Now it is still far away from the Demon God and has even passed by any one of the twelve spirits.
Neither will be recognized.
"Leave this city."
A mouth grew on the arm of a young man from a small town. That's what happened this morning. When he was very nervous, the mouth started to speak. And the young man who was shut in at home didn't know what his original intention was.
Started chatting with the fanged mouth on the arm.
"Why? I just found a job."
"This city is not suitable for you, no, it is not suitable for us." The devil mouth murmured: "I can't have a full meal here."
"What on earth do you want to eat!"
"You will know then, get out of here!"
As the voice that opened his mouth became high-pitched and sharp, the young man's body started to move uncontrollably. I thought he was usually just a young programmer with irregular meals and no sleep, but now he can act like a monkey.
Jumping between buildings.
"Don't go this way!"
Just when he was about to be controlled through Chang'an Lane, another mouth appeared on his other arm. When the mouth opened, it sounded like the boss: "Do you want to die?"
And when the young man couldn't control his body at all, his body actually turned ninety degrees in the air to another direction, and quickly left Chang'an Lane.
They ran like this all day long. The young programmer felt like he was about to die. Only then was he released by the two mouths that controlled him.
"Take a rest, don't let the host die." The mouth on the right arm ordered the mouth on the left arm: "Go grab something for him to eat."
After finishing speaking, the young man felt his body light up again. It was clear that he was in the deep mountains covered with heavy snow, but like a sensitive ferret, he caught three rabbits and five voles in three strokes, five divided by two.
After being controlled to come to a shallow cave, he was controlled to collect a lot of wood and pile it up. Then he saw a flame suddenly spurting out of the mouth of his left arm, which ignited the branches and sticks.
.
The long-lost warmth and brightness made this young man who had been tossing all day feel a little more comfortable, but even so, he felt that his body was about to fall apart, and every part of his body ached.
But something terrible happened the next moment. The two mouths on his hand suddenly came together and ate the food on the ground in three times. After they finished eating, they actually seemed to be full.
As usual, I felt comfortable all over, but when I thought of rabbits with fur and mice with skin, the young man started to vomit.
"Hahaha, boy, your body is too weak."
The hand on his left arm suddenly said: "From now on, as long as you listen to our two brothers, I guarantee that you will have enough food and clothing, and you will have a lot of wives and concubines."
The young programmer almost cried: "Who are you...what do you want me to do?"
"Slowly you will know. It was not easy for us two brothers to escape this time. You are lucky. You know how rare it would be if someone in the world could get us two brothers together at the same time." On the right arm
The tone of his mouth should be slower and calmer, and he has the temperament of a boss: "Boy, what is your name?"
"Zhang...Zhang Xu."
"Well, you will thank us brothers in the future."
The young programmer Zhang Xu didn't believe any of the bullshit they said. He took himself out of his warm bed into the snow-covered old forest and ate rabbits and mice alive in front of him. How disgusting it was.
Only then can we do it...
"Can you let me go..."
"No, no, no, you can live in peace and contentment." After finishing speaking, the mouth on the right let out a sharp and harsh laugh: "Of course we will not treat you badly."
