I'm a villain, not a devil

Due to the existence of the evil dome, the sky will not bring any light at seven o'clock in the evening.

However, today's imperial capital is as bright as day, and artificial suns have risen in every corner of the city, emitting warmth and light without any obstruction, and also emitting the strength of the empire.

The largest circular square in the imperial capital is already crowded with people, and the soldiers who have carried out a carnival parade in the city walk down the center of the circular square under the envious and heavy gaze of the people.

They are outstanding officers who have been selected and will be awarded titles tonight. Of course, they will also receive various rewards.

On the left side of the soldiers, many residents wearing various clothes also gathered together. This group of military families can also get a lot of rewards-of course, standing here is already a kind of honor.

The residents looked at the center of the field excitedly, and the soldiers and military families who felt the gaze also raised their heads involuntarily.

However, in addition to being more grand and richer than before, this year's military celebration day has another difference.

The last time the military celebration speech was delivered was ten years ago by His Majesty the Emperor, and this time he will appear again.

For the people of the empire, His Majesty is their god. Under the shining light of His Majesty, even the Golden Dawn is just a point of light.

And this enthusiasm spreads to almost every resident present.

The atmosphere of the military festival, the extreme sea of ​​people, the dazzling light above their heads... all of this seems to amplify the enthusiasm.

Gradually, someone whispered: "Your Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"

Unorganized and spontaneous, the voices of the crowd gradually became louder.

"Your Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"

The voices are getting louder and louder.

"Your Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"

It was as if the fuse was lit. With just a few unison voices, the roaring waves came like a tsunami.

Like a huge wave hitting the reef, a few people looked at the scene in front of them in shock - the square and the surrounding buildings seemed to be shaking!

"Your Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"

The sound waves overwhelmed all other sounds, so that the soldiers and military dependents in the center of the square instinctively showed uncomfortable expressions - even so, they stood up and waved their fists vigorously.

"Your Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"

The whole city turned into a sea of ​​enthusiasm. Perhaps some people would question whether the emperor would still love him after not appearing for many years.

But at this moment, all doubts and speculations were shattered by enthusiasm.

The man has not appeared yet, and the whole city began to be shrouded in his light.

And in this tsunami-like sound waves, a step slowly rose on the side of the circular square near the foot of the imperial city.

"Your Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"

The already extremely enthusiastic crowd was ignited again. This time, even many strong men had to cover their ears, and many of those in the center of the square even fell on their chairs.

But they still waved their fists.

On the roof outside the square, on the side that would not be noticed by others, Sean stood alone on it, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

The enthusiasm of the crowd even exceeded his imagination.

This was not only achieved by the control of the black nematodes - apart from this, most of the residents did have great love and awe for the emperor.

"After all, he is the emperor who really conquered the territory. Even if he has been slacking off in the palace for so many years, he still maintains a very terrible prestige..." Sean muttered to himself.

"However, the enthusiasm of so many people is still a bit too much... Is it some kind of effect caused by the large-scale gathering of black nematodes?"

Sean muttered to himself, he looked around, and then escaped into the shadow world.

The world suddenly became very different. The warm light of the artificial sun disappeared, replaced by monotonous black and white lines.

Under normal circumstances, Sean could not observe the black nematodes that have been parasitic in the human body through the shadow world. He could only see the black nematodes when they were materialized in reality.

However, under the current situation, the shadow world might be able to see something.

Thinking of this, Sean looked at the circular plaza.

"Fuck..." Sean, who was used to seeing big storms, couldn't help but curse.

At this moment, in his eyes, the black nematodes parasitizing the residents' bodies were still not observable in the shadow world, but at some point, the top of the circular plaza was almost covered by dense black.

The enthusiasm of those residents, coupled with the huge gathering of black nematodes, actually formed an extremely huge black nematode directly in the sky.

That black nematode was even more terrifying than the man Sean had seen at the bottom of the Black Pigeon Prison. Its body that covered the sky and the sun was daunting.

At the same time, the shadow world showed that this giant was an extremely simple line, but it just matched the appearance of the black nematode, which made people feel even more uncomfortable.

However, this is, after all, a gathering of the collective consciousness sea and the characteristics of the black nematode. It does not really exist, so the deterrence it gives people is okay.

Wait... is it okay?

Sean was surprised to find that several black and white lines representing humans around him had fallen down.

In the shadow world, the black nematodes parasitizing individuals cannot be observed, but the nematodes that emerge can be seen.

Sean clearly saw that black nematodes came out of those people who fell to the ground.

At the same time, unlike the black nematode that lost its activity after Sean helped people clear it, the black nematode that crawled out actually lifted its body very flexibly - although it was impossible to distinguish the head and tail, Sean could still tell. The black nematodes that crawled out were looking up at the huge gathering.

Immediately afterwards, they shook their heads very nimbly, and immediately drilled into the ground.

"There is no loss of activity...and there is an obvious way of action..." Sean frowned slightly.

This is like... actively breaking away from the parasitic object?

Sean has never seen a black nematode that can take the initiative to escape. He felt it when he was in Black Pigeon Prison. The black nematode wants to eat away at all the living things around him, including the weird tree man who is now subdued by Xiao Ci. 'Plague saliva'.

Take the initiative to leave...and this obviously has nothing to do with escaping...

Could it be that... it was the mother body that sent the call?

At this time, Sean discovered that the huge gathering of black nematodes in the shadow world seemed to suddenly become active.

The roaring voices that were isolated by the shadow world could not be conveyed, but Sean seemed to be able to feel that the crowd was completely boiling.

He looked in that direction with some feeling.

On the steps framed by black lines, a figure is slowly walking to the top of the steps.

The emperor has appeared.

And with just one glance, Sean's pupils shrank violently.

The figure representing the emperor is densely covered with countless black nematodes!

Can be observed... Those black nematodes are not parasitic in the emperor's body, but are just raised in reality and around him?

"Tsk..." Sean bared his teeth.

My previous explorations and guesses were correct. The emperor indeed had a close relationship with the black nematodes, and he had been using this method to control the residents of the imperial capital.

However, just looking at the extent of the entanglement, it was even scarier than the single giant black nematode I saw in Black Pigeon.

The owner of the black threadworm has been confirmed to be the body of the evil god, but he just doesn't know what the relationship between the emperor and the other party is.

At present, it seems that the emperor borrowed the other party's power. It is a common operation to imprison the other person after the loan is used up. The only strange thing is that Bai Zhan released that person, and the emperor obviously acquiesced...

Is the emperor confident that he can control the body of the evil god again?

Or could it be said that the emperor had actually been completely corrupted by the evil god during this process?

Sean had actually been prepared for the fact that the emperor was no longer the emperor - things like playing with fire and self-immolation were never new.

No sound could be heard in the shadow world, and the emperor at the top of the steps was probably making some speech, and the crowd seemed to be getting more and more enthusiastic.

In the frenzy, only Sean noticed that more and more people hiding in the shadows were falling down.

Black worms are constantly crawling out of the human body, then raising their heads to high places, and then completely burrowing into the ground.

"Is there something underground... The previous statues of Kaizhisuo were also connected by underground passages..."

Sean doesn't want to find out the emperor's background yet. It's not that he doesn't want to, but the risks are too great and the benefits are too small.

For now, we still have to focus on Bai Zhan and Jehovah - after these two are dealt with, the emperor's next steps will be carried out slowly according to Sean's ideas.

I just don’t know what those two grandsons are doing now? If I just didn't show up, they might just fall out...

After thinking for a moment, Sean exited the shadow world, where no more information could be observed.

Returning to the boiling reality, Sean frowned and covered his ears. He first looked at the location of the person who fell to the ground in the Shadow World.

Surprisingly, there was nothing there.

Sean frowned slightly and glanced at the location of the last fallen person he saw before coming out.

Something flashed past, and even Sean's eyesight was not able to catch it completely. However, he saw a human hand completely disappearing into the shadows.

The body was dragged away?

So, have all this been prepared?

Sean subconsciously looked towards the center of the circular square. At this moment, among the roar of people, an old but majestic voice could be clearly heard.

The speech has probably come to an end.

"At this moment, you are the glory of the empire - Bai Yue -"

The old voice stopped, and the boiling crowd seemed to have pressed the mute button. The residents all shut their mouths.

They looked at the figure at the top with fanaticism and piety, even though the man in imperial uniform didn't even show his face.

The broad and gorgeous cuffs of the imperial uniform slowly slipped away, and an old hand slowly stretched out and clenched it firmly in front of everyone.

If the fuse is ignited.

"Eternal!"

The almost simultaneous shouting made the buildings around the ground sway. Many people had red blood hanging from their earlobes, but they didn't notice it at all. Instead, they clenched their fists harder and roared. The next sound,

"The white moon lasts forever!"

At this moment, Sean was holding a high-definition telescope and was in a daze.

The top-notch eyesight of the crimson middle layer made him notice something was wrong, and he immediately took out his binoculars.

The emperor's hand...

A hand tightly bound by branches and cell fruits. The hand was almost like a mummy, with the violently corroded skin covering it with difficulty.

The gorgeous and majestic imperial uniform did not fit that hand, but this was not the reason why Sean's heartbeat accelerated slightly.

He slowly put down the telescope and stared at the aloof emperor with indescribable eyes.

He had seen that hand before.

The man who fought with the guard code-named 'Plague Saliva' at the bottom of Black Pigeon Prison.

The man's hands were exactly the same as the emperor's hands.

"Fuck you..." The corners of Sean's mouth even couldn't help but curl up.

"The Emperor... no, to be precise, he is my cheap biological father..." Sean licked his dry lips vigorously, "No wonder..."

The crowd was still noisy, but the old emperor just pressed down with his outstretched hand, and the crowd was silent again.

The emperor took a breath, as if the inspiring speech just now had consumed a lot of his energy.

After a slight pause, he said: "On Military Day, I will also reward a few people..."

Covance, who was wearing the uniform of a chamberlain, bent down and walked behind the emperor. After receiving the signal, he began to shout out the names of many people.

Most were military officers, with some high-ranking officials.

Being called out in front of so many people naturally meant a reward.

From the most basic to the most advanced, even Bai Ye was rewarded, and in the end, even Marshal Wu Xiao's name was called out.

The treatment of the marshal is naturally different from that of other people. He can walk up the steps to receive the reward in person.

However, Sean noticed that something was wrong with Wu Xiao's state. He seemed to be suppressing something.

After receiving the reward, he just thanked him and walked quickly.

Sean's eyebrows raised slightly. More than 10,000 wounded soldiers who had returned from the military headquarters were mysteriously missing. This matter could not be hidden, so Sean naturally knew about it.

Wu laughed because the group of people hadn't been found yet? Or should I say...

Sean narrowed his eyes slightly.

I always feel that Wu Xiao's inappropriate state is aimed at His Majesty the Emperor...

When Wu Xiao walked down the stairs, the emperor spoke again: "There is one more person..."

"He devoted his whole life to the empire. The statue of the founding father, which symbolizes the glory of the empire, was created by him wholeheartedly. It just so happens that he is also a soldier - on this military anniversary, I will reward you together."

Bai Zhan quickly walked up the steps.

The emperor waved, and Covance brought out a box.

"The eldest prince fights in vain. If you have merit, you should be rewarded."

The box was opened by Covance, and a dazzling light made everyone present scream in pain and cover their eyes.

The box was closed again, and the emperor nodded to Bai Zhan: "Zhan'er, you have to study the secret of this thing by yourself."

"Thank you Father for the gift!"

Bai Zhan took the box, and Sean narrowed his eyes.

Although the box was only opened for a moment, he would never admit it.

It is a heart of a tree, a complete heart of a tree.
