Ruins of the past

Shuzhou, in the study of the Qianhu Office of the Zhenmo Division.

A tall, middle-aged man with rough skin and five scars on his face smiled: "How's it going? Are you still waiting?"

The concierge shook his head at the thousands of households in Shuzhou in front of him: "After waiting for a whole day, I didn't eat or drink water. I just sat there and read a book."

"I have always been neither arrogant nor impetuous, and very calm."

"But I just told him that you couldn't see him today and asked him to come over tomorrow, and then he left angrily."

"And he said..."

Song Qianhu asked: "What else did you say?"

The concierge lowered his head and said, "He said he wouldn't come to see you, and he also said you would go see him."

Song Qianhu was stunned when he heard this, and burst into laughter the next moment: "This boy... he has only been waiting for a day and he can't calm down anymore?"

"Those old guys from the Assassin Demon School are really becoming more and more unable to teach talented people."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the letter in front of him again, and he saw detailed information about Chu Qiguang written on it, including the fourth level of martial arts, the third level of Hunyuan Taiyi Qigong... and even the details of all previous small and large competitions. The results are clearly recorded.

"A kid from the Fourth Realm was actually sent here." Song Qianhu said, stroking his chin beard: "What on earth do those old guys who assassinate the demon think?"

As he spoke, he looked at Deputy Qianhu Han Jueyong aside.

This Deputy Qianhu was fair and elegant, and looked very different from Song Qianhu. He looked more like a scholar than the Deputy Qianhu of the Demon Suppression Division.

After hearing Song Qianhu's words, Han Jueyong said calmly: "The person who assassinated the demon...may have heard some news and had some ideas. This kid may just be a chess piece to test us."

Song Qianhu nodded, and then sneered: "Let me go see him... wait until he arrives alive and well."

…

On the other side, Chu Qiguang returned to the inn outside the city and saw Lei Yushu sitting at the gate of the inn.

Qiao Zhi was lying on his head, meowing and saying something.

After seeing Chu Qiguang coming back, Lei Yushu stiffened suddenly, like a mouse meeting a cat.

But in just a blink of an eye, he ran up obediently and said with an attentive look: "Brother Chu, are you back? I'll boil the wine and water right now."

Chu Qiguang held him down with a smile and said softly: "Escaped again?"

Lei Yushu's body trembled, and Qiao Zhi on the side said in his heart: "I want to run away again when you are not here, why don't I catch you again. By the way, let me tell you something, this Lei Yushu... …”

Chu Qiguang was slightly startled when he heard this, and then grinned.

He took Lei Yushu's hand and walked out: "There are not many opportunities along the way. I happen to be free tonight, so let's talk."

Lei Yushu knew that he could not escape from the other party. As he walked, he thought with great fear: 'He... what is he going to do...'

‘And he is obviously from the Demon Suppressing Division, so why would he raise a cat demon? ’

‘Do you know my identity... I... I am not the real Lei Yushu at all. ’

‘That Yi Cheng’s son… was eaten by them at the post station a long time ago…’

Thinking of this, 'Lei Yushu'...or rather 'his' back started to break out in cold sweat.

Scenes from the past seemed to pop up in 'his' mind again.

Don't know who his father is.

I don’t even know who my mother is.

He doesn't even have his own name.

When he is conscious, 'he' is already a little monster under other big monsters.

Because of his identity as half human and half demon, 'he' is often sent out by the big demons to spy on information.

‘He’ grew up in confusion, neither truly accepted by the monsters nor able to truly enter the human world.

Before attacking the inn, 'he' met a boy named Lei Yushu.

That time 'he' was originally a human boy pretending to be on the run, sneaking into the inn and poisoning him before the monsters attacked him.

But when Lei Yushu and his son helped 'him' wash his face, fed 'him', comforted 'him' not to be afraid, and told 'him' stories about the world, 'he' suddenly wanted to tell everything.

‘I hate monsters the most. ’

‘Create nothing…no words…no stories…nothing…’

'I only know how to eat, only know how to kill, only know how to mess around all day long...'

‘I want to be human. ’

Unfortunately, before 'he' could say anything... the snake demon rushed into the inn with the other two big demons.

The cooperation of the three big demons... made them too lazy to wait for the poison, and came in rampantly.

Then came another familiar scene.

The cook, the groom, the postmaster... and Lei Yushu were all eaten one after another.

'The cook can steam plum and vegetable pancakes and make fruit filling cakes...'

'The groom will take care of the horses. He knows how to raise strong and good horses...'

‘Yi Cheng is literate, and he also knows about astrology and feng shui... The stories he tells are so interesting. ’

'So many interesting people and interesting things...are all erased like this...'

'The monster... is so disgusting. ’

Next, the monsters sometimes asked him to wear a hood and lower his voice to pretend to be Yi Cheng Lei Yi, and sometimes they asked him to show his face and pretend to be a young man named Lei Yushu, entertaining the convoys on the official road.

'He' also wanted to prevent this, but succeeded only a handful of times.

And unknowingly, 'he' gradually regarded Lei Yushu as his real name. Every time he uses this identity to communicate with other humans, it is one of the few times when 'he' is happiest.

At that moment 'he' felt like a real human being.

At this moment, he was led by Chu Qiguang into the nearby woods. Feeling that the light around him was getting darker and darker, he suddenly felt regretful in his heart: "If I really am Lei Yushu... I should How good. ’

'I really want to go to the north to join the army as he said...'

Similar thoughts welled up in his heart, and 'he' seemed to relax at this moment, just wanting to see how the weirdo on the side would deal with him.

At this moment, Chu Qiguang grinned: "Your... real name is not Lei Yushu, right?"

'He' said calmly: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Chu Qiguang said slowly: "Then what official position did your father hold before?"

'he':"……"

"What's your mother's name again?"

'he':"……"

Chu Qiguang finally said: "And Lei Yushu is obviously a man, but you are actually a woman, right?"

"And... you're still a monster."

'He' or 'she' felt as if someone had torn apart the skin of his body layer by layer. Standing in front of this man... 'she' felt as if she was naked and wearing nothing.

Especially when the other party found out the identity of 'her' monster, 'she' was like the last fig leaf being torn open. 'She' raised her head in shock and shame: "You...how did you know..."

"Although you have been guarding others, you can't hide it from me."

Qiao Zhi on the side said in surprise: "But can she really be Lei Yushu? Looking at it now...it doesn't match up at all."

Chu Qiguang tilted his head: "Is it true... You will know after trying it for a while. If she is really the Eighth General of Xinghan, then her talent is by no means ordinary."

'She' listened to the incomprehensible words of one person and one cat, and had no idea what was going on.
