The Daily Life of the Great Demon King

Shen He saw Zeng Rui again, it was late at night, and the location... was in his house.

At that time, because of Zeng Rui's disappearance, Shen He almost turned himself into a neurosis. He turned upside down day and night, opening the door every few minutes to see if anyone came outside. Later, he simply sat at the door all night and all night, his eyes staring at the corridor in a daze. And he didn't notice it at all.

For a period of time, nothing was gained.

As for Shen He's body, he couldn't hold on anymore.

That day, he got up from the ground, turned around and opened the door to go in. He picked up the last box of instant noodles from the shopping bag on the table, picked up hot water from the water dispenser, brewed indiscriminately for a few minutes, and then snorted. Squeeze it into your mouth, and even the noodles with soup can be solved in three or two strokes. The feeling of hunger has temporarily disappeared, but the sleepiness is still shrouded, and the upper and lower eyelids are fighting, and it is difficult to separate.

I'll just squint for a few minutes, just a few minutes...

Thinking like this, he fell to the sofa and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

In this case, it is almost impossible to wake up after only a few minutes of sleep.

Shen He is no exception.

He slept very deep and had a dream. In the dream, Zeng Rui came back again. She was wearing a white dress with her long hair draped. She stood in the sunshine and smiled at him. The warm sunshine coated her whole body. The golden rim, the delicate and sweet face, was rendered into a dream, and it looked like a fragile bubble in the sun, as if it would shatter and disappear in the next moment.

Then he really saw Zeng Rui's figure, which became transparent a little bit, and he was able to see the scenery behind her through her body.

She waved at him lightly, her lips moved, her mouth seemed to say ‘goodbye’.

Shen He's emotions changed from joy to panic a little bit, as if there was an invisible big hand holding his heart, slightly aching.

"No! Don't go! Don't—"

He screamed and woke up from his sleep. And because of the excessive movement range, his body became unstable and fell to the ground.

The living room is not wooden floor, but tiled tiles, cold and hard. When he fell, he made a dull sound, and his skin stuck to the ground. The cold feeling made his originally confused mind wake up in an instant.

"It's a dream..." He murmured these words, his voice was unspeakable sadness, mixed with a trace of luck, fortunately this was just a dream, and she didn't really disappear. But in fact, he was just comforting himself, because the situation in reality was not much better than in dreams.

Shen He twitched at the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile that was even worse than crying, and he was about to stand up while leaning on the sofa.

At this time, a familiar voice sounded from behind, with a hint of complaint, but it is not difficult to hear the intimacy in it, "Dahe, you are sleeping on the sofa again! I have told you several times, you just don’t Listen, it's all right now, let's fall again!"

In the middle of the night, in the case of a person living alone, in your own house, suddenly you heard another voice, which sounded from behind. What kind of feeling was it?

Most people will be scared to death.

Shen He is no exception.

But his panic was only a moment, and when he recovered, he immediately turned into ecstasy.

"Xiao Rui!" He called Zeng Rui's name and turned his head abruptly.

There is rarely absolute darkness in a city, even in the middle of the night.

The living room of the house Shen He bought was a huge floor-to-ceiling window. He almost never closed all the curtains, just pulled the gauze curtains. The light coming in from the outside is not so bright, but it is enough to barely see the outline of the house.

What I could see was a slender figure, facing the light, unable to see her appearance, but she could tell it was wearing a loose skirt with loose hair, which overlapped a little bit with the figure in her sleep.

"Xiao Rui!" Shen He shouted, quickly got up from the ground, walked to her a few steps, subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch her, but reached out his hand, but stopped when he was about to touch her. Frozen in the air, "...you are finally back."

Zeng Rui smiled, and said in a very affectionate tone, "Dahe, what silly things are you saying, haven't I been there all the time!"

If you were really there all the time, how could I be like this?

But after all, Shen He didn't say anything, he just nodded, "Well, I am confused, you have been there all the time."

...

While speaking, the group had already walked the long street, turned a turn, and was a long road, and at the end of the road was the residential area where Shen He lived.

Xu Xingchen's mood at this moment is unprecedentedly complicated. He is no longer completely distrustful of ghosts and gods as he did at the beginning, because the story that Shen He told is considered a story for the time being, it feels too real to people, and even the details are clearly described. Coupled with his current state, as well as the words of Zhou Yuancheng, the fortune-telling stick just now, the truthfulness has increased a lot.

However, Xu Xingchen has been an atheist for so many years, and it is very difficult for him to make a sudden change, so his heart is still skeptical about this matter.

He looked at Shen He and asked, "Dahe, weren't you afraid at the time?"

Hearing this, Shen He turned his head. They just walked under the street lamp, and the light came down from the top of their heads, deepening the blue and black color of Shen He's eyes a lot, and when paired with the cold streets, it looked even more permeating.

"Fear." Shen He said, paused, and continued, "but I'm even more afraid that she will disappear."

...

"Dahe, why don't you turn on the lights?" Zeng Rui asked.

Shen He was taken aback, "Can...can you turn on the lights?"

In my impression, don’t ghosts always like to be in a dark environment? Will it affect her if it is opened?

In Shen He's mind, he thought about it uncontrollably, but quickly realized that before Zeng Rui disappeared, when they were chatting in the next room, they also turned on the lights, because every time she appeared, It was after sunset in the evening, the curtains in the room were drawn, the light was very dim, and it was impossible to turn on the lights.

I only heard Zeng Rui say to him in a complaining tone, "Dahe, you said something stupid again! It's at night, how can you do without turning on the lights!"

While speaking, she walked to the wall, reached out and pressed the switch.

The slight sound appeared unusually clear in the middle of the night.

At that moment, Shen He felt that a certain string in his brain trembled slightly with this sound.

The light came on, the original darkness was completely driven out, and the light instantly flooded the whole room.

Shen He closed his eyes subconsciously, after a few seconds, he tried, and slowly opened them. This is because, from darkness to light, human eyes need a process of adaptation. Of course, there are other factors, and that is fear, but it is not all that he is afraid of Zeng Rui. A more accurate statement is that what he is afraid of subconsciously is to see a Zeng Rui who is different from what he imagined.

Before his eyes were fully opened, Zeng Rui's voice came from behind again, "Are you busy lately? Have you stayed up again? Have you had a good meal? Would you like me to make something for you?"

The voice fell, and one hand patted his arm lightly, "Thank you Dahe, I will tidy up the table."

Shen He subconsciously stepped away, and in the light of his sight, he saw Zeng Rui's figure, dexterously past him, standing in the gap between the sofa and the coffee table, bending down slightly, and carefully packing up.

She was wearing a white nightdress, a very loose style, puff sleeves, with lace. In the eyes of an otaku like Shen He, it was not much different from a normal skirt.

When she bent down, her long hair slipped down, and she freed up a hand to tuck her hair back.

The white and slender fingers contrast sharply with the smooth black hair.

Shen He was dumbfounded, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses, and suddenly reacted a little--

Before Zeng Rui disappeared, although the two of them talked a lot, they were considered close friends, but she both called his name'Shen He', but now, she suddenly changed her mouth and became'Dahe'. Such an intimate name, why is it so?

Thinking about this, he subconsciously asked, "Xiao Rui, why did you suddenly change your slogan to "Dahe"?"

At this moment, Zeng Rui had almost cleaned up the table, and turned around to look at him after hearing this, with a very confused expression, "Because you are Dahe, I always call you Dahe."

After she finished speaking, she paused for a while, then frowned slightly, and asked, "Dahe, what happened to you today? Always ask me such silly questions?"

Shen He forced down the feeling of disharmony in his heart and shook his head, "It's okay, maybe I just woke up, my mind is a little confused."

Zeng Rui stared at him for a while, and then suddenly straightened up, walked over, slightly on her toes, and touched his forehead with the back of her hand, "I'll see if you have a cold or fever, so that's why I said these nonsense. "

Until now, when Shen He’s mother’s fetus was written, the male protagonist either had an embarrassing emotional drama or simply had no female protagonist, and was often complained by readers. He has fans who are not girls. In the reader exchange group of the book review area, he left a message to tease him, saying, "I want to give you a monkey". When he looked at it, he didn't think there was anything, because he didn't know who was behind the account, and he couldn't be sure whether it was a male or a female.

But now, when the girl came closer, he only felt that his heartbeat became so fast for an instant, plopping, as if he was about to jump out of his chest, a faint sweet scent filled the tip of his nose, making people involuntarily intoxicated.

Zeng Rui's hands are very cold, completely beyond the normal range of cold, as if there is no trace of temperature.

But Shen He, who was touched by her, felt that his face was too hot, and subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but he couldn't bear it. So just froze there, until Zeng Rui took her hand away, and barely breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I don't have a cold." Zeng Rui said, "Try not to stay up so late next time. Remember to go to bed to sleep."

Shen He's mind was muddy, and he subconsciously nodded in response, "Yes."

Then stood there stupidly, watching Zeng Rui tidy up the table, pack up the clutter, and put it by the wall. After doing this, she stretched slightly, the original knee-length skirt, because of her movements, slightly lifted up, revealing two slender and straight thighs.

In the warm light, her side face gives people a demure and beautiful feeling.

Shen He watched, and for some reason, a word came out in his mind-Time is quiet.

She seemed to be aware of his gaze, Zeng Rui turned to look at him, "Dahe, why are you looking at me so stupidly?"

Shen He subconsciously replied, "You look good!"

Zeng Rui laughed when she heard the words, her eyebrows curled up, her face was flushed, and she was even more charming. He said, "Make me happy again!" Then he walked directly to the room.

That is the master bedroom of the house, and it is also the room where Shen He sleeps now.

...

Xu Xingchen's expression became more complicated, and his heart was extremely surprised. He looked at Shen He and opened his mouth. It took him a long time to suffocate a word, but he said intermittently, "According to what you said, that is... a ghost! You! How...how...have you talked to her...have?"

Carrying a convenient folding chair next to him, Zhou Yuancheng, who was walking slowly, completed his words for him, "Did you sleep with that ghost?"

Shen He lowered his eyes, "She is so good..."

...

Zeng Rui is really good, looks lovely and sweet, petite and pitiful, speaks nicely, and has a gentle personality... Everything is in line with Shen He's expectation for the other half of the future.

Being in the same room with the lover of your dreams, or even sleeping in the same room, is unavoidable.

If Shen He met her while Zeng Rui was alive, he would definitely work hard to pursue her. If he succeeded, he would inevitably think more about her relationship with her boyfriend and girlfriend.

But Zeng Rui died, just a ghost, and didn't seem to know the fact that she was dead, she still kept the same as before, repeating certain things that are meaningful to her, like a living person.

In this case, Shen He would not think too much, because to her, it was all blasphemy.

But he couldn't control his own heart, so he selfishly wanted to keep looking at her, staying with her, chatting, eating...

Shen He stood in front of the bedroom door that day, and could see the situation in the room by the light in the living room.

Zeng Rui is like a normal person, lying on his side on the bed, covered with a quilt, and covered with a pillow in her hair.

His thoughts were unprecedentedly complicated, as if splitting into two people. One felt that his dream life was like this, and his heart was calm, while the other felt uncontrollable sadness for his illusory and impossible future. I feel sorry for Zeng Rui. Maybe this is the life she wants, but her time has stopped.

He watched for a long time, but finally did not step in. Instead, he closed the door lightly, then walked to the wall, lightly turned off the living room light, and finally lay on the sofa, thinking about something. Yes, gradually fall asleep.

When I woke up, it was already dawn.

The room is facing the sun, and the morning sun shines through the screen windows. The room is bright, but it is also very dazzling, because the eyelids can't block the light.

Shen He opened his eyes with difficulty, half-hidden his hands, and looked at the snow-white ceiling above his head through his fingers. He was a little confused for a while. It took a while to recall what happened at night, almost crawling from the sofa. Turning over and getting up, he didn't care about putting on his shoes, rushed to the door of the room, twisted the doorknob to open the door, and looked in.

There is no half of a person in the room, and the bed is vaguely like before, messy, and it is completely impossible to tell if someone has slept.

The whole day after that, Shen He was like when Zeng Rui disappeared before, and the whole person fell into endless anxiety and panic. He looked forward to and was afraid of the coming of the night, because Zeng Rui usually appeared at night, but he was afraid that she would not. Appear, and everything in the night is just a dream of him.

In this way, it was difficult to survive the day.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and after sinking into the bottom of the mountain, there is only a gorgeous color on the horizon.

Shen He's anxiety got worse.

The darkness of night enveloped the earth, and time passed by minute by minute.

When the time of the electronic clock jumped to 3:00, he finally waited for Zeng Rui.

She was like last night, wearing a white nightdress with puff cuffs and lace, with long black hair, standing beside the sofa in the living room, complaining in an intimate tone, "Dahe, you are sleeping on the sofa again! I have told you several times, but you just don’t listen. Now it’s all right, let’s fall again!"

What happened after that was almost the same as before.

Shen He had experienced this many times before, so he was not surprised, but he was relieved.

So he raised his head, looked at Zeng Rui, and said to her, "I was wrong, not next time, don't be angry."

It doesn't matter if you will forget all of these the next time you show up.

I just want to be happy.

Even if you don’t remember me.

As long as you are still there, it's fine.

After that, Shen He and Zeng Rui lived the life of their dreams. But different from normal people, they always meet in the middle of the night, repeating the same beginning, and Shen He alone will work hard to change the process, but the ending will always be the same.

Repeatedly.

...

When Xu Xingchen heard this, the expression in Shen He's eyes had changed from shock to sympathy.

He asked Shen He, "Dahe, have you ever thought about...that is...that...the Dahe who yelled in her mouth, maybe...not you?"

Although this is very hurtful to say, it is undeniable.

Shen He smiled bitterly when he heard the words, "I know."

...

At the beginning, Shen He just felt a violation. It wasn't until Zeng Rui got along with Zeng Rui for a while, and they talked more, that he gradually learned from her what kind of person he was.

In his early thirties, I have a job that looks decent. I am very busy. I work overtime many of the time. There is also a'he' in his name. That's why Zeng Rui would call him'Dahe', but I don't know which'he' it is. .

When he knew the truth, he inevitably felt sad, he was jealous of the man named ‘big he’, but he didn’t hate Zeng Rui.

Because Shen He knew very well that she was just repeating the fragments of her life unconsciously, not deliberately using him as a substitute. Before them, from the very beginning, he had made it up by himself.

After being sad, he quickly figured it out again.

It doesn't matter if she treats him as anyone, as long as she is where he can see it, that's fine.

...

Xu Xingchen didn't know what to say anymore.

The three of them had already reached the gate of the community. The guard in the guard room was an uncle in his fifties. When he saw Shen He, his expression seemed a little sympathetic, and then he saw Xu Xingchen and Zhou Yuancheng next to him, somewhat surprised. I asked, "Xiao Shen, bring friends to play?"

Hearing this, Shen He smiled at him, nodded and said, "Yeah."

The doorman sighed, "It's nice to have friends."

"Yeah." Shen He replied, and then brought Xu Xingchen and Zhou Yuan into the gate of the community.

Xu Xingchen asked, "Then why are you calling me over?"

This was something he couldn't figure out. Since Shen He was so courageous, he didn't mind coming out of the human spirit, why would he say those things before, this obviously didn't make sense.

Shen He raised his head slightly and looked at a certain building in front of him, his eyes in a daze, and after a while he replied, "Something happened later..."

...

After getting along for a while, Zeng Rui disappeared again.

With the previous experience as a reference, although he was also very anxious this time, worried about whether something happened to Zeng Rui, but it was not as exaggerated as it was at the beginning.

After waiting for almost half a month, Zeng Rui appeared in his room again.

Shen He remembered the situation that night clearly.

At that time, he had just come out of the bathroom, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Zeng Rui sitting on the sofa in the living room with a mobile phone in his hand, making a call.

He heard her say, "Is it at the door?...Okay, I'll get it here."

While speaking, she hung up the phone, stood up, and walked towards the door. During the period, I passed by Shen He, but I didn't even look at him, as if this person didn't exist.

At that time, Shen He felt a bad premonition for no reason.

And this feeling soon came true.

I saw Zeng Rui walked to the door, made a gesture of opening the door, and then stretched out her hand, as if she had taken something and held it in her hand, while politely said, "Thank you." Then she pushed the door with her free hand, which should be ready to close the door.

Things started from here and went to tragedy.

Shen He clearly saw that the expression on Zeng Rui's face suddenly became disturbed. The hand that seemed to be holding something suddenly released and followed to push the door. After that, the whole person was posted.

It is conceivable that she had an accident at the time, and the person who sent something outside wanted to enter the house, but she desperately prevented it.

Shen He only felt that his heart was tightened, and subconsciously wanted to go to help, but he reached out to find that his hand passed through Zeng Rui's body.

He can't touch her anymore!

The tragedy continues.

Zeng Rui suddenly screamed, struggling desperately in a strange posture that seemed to be caught by something. She widened her eyes and opened her mouth, but she made no sound anymore, as if someone had covered her mouth.

She was dragged onto her silly hair, and her skirt was lifted up.

She struggled desperately and grabbed her hand on the coffee table next to her.

There is a cell phone.

Seeing that it was about to be reached, suddenly her hand was caught again.

Zeng Rui cried and struggled on the sofa. During the period, she seemed to offend the person who intended to hurt her, and saw her face quickly reddened and swollen, and a trace of blood leaked from the corner of her mouth...

Shen He only felt heartache, unspeakable anger and sadness... But he couldn't do anything, he could only watch Zeng Rui being killed, the wounds on his body became more and more, the blood shed more and more, and gradually She has no strength to struggle, but the perpetrator still insists on letting her go.

...

"I saw her with my own eyes, was killed in front of me, and then dismembered. There was no complete body left, and the blood shed all over the room..."

When Shen He said this, his tone could not be controlled, his eyes were scaryly red, and his eyes were glowing with water.
