Im Not A Demon Lord's
Chapter 3
The moon is huge tonight.
After 10 o'clock, the crowd on the streets almost dispersed.
Sometimes there would be some young people riding motorcycles outside the shop, passing by with their girls inside.
Ling PingAn sat at the counter, watching variety shows on television and feeling bored.
Variety shows are getting worse and worse.
Even the singing competition program Ling PingAn had been following for three inevitable years had come to the point where the creators had to bow their heads to the viewers and resign themselves to the delight of the capitalists.
Watching the so-called “singer”, dressed in a flashy costume that was silly and did not look like a woman or a man, standing there while screaming and howling was annoying.
Ling PingAn turned off the television.
“What is this music?”
“Truly an insult to my intelligence!” Ling PingAn shook his head.
Ever since the Gods knew when, music in the Federal Empire had been running without a way back.
Many people begin to think that the higher the song, the better the singing ability.
The majority of these music variety shows are entirely focused on delivering showmanship for the sake of delivering showmanship.
They don't even bother to cover up what they're doing.
What they do is simply stuff their audience's ears with all kinds of junk just to increase the number of program views.
Thinking of this, Ling PingAn opened his phone and saw what was trending. “Gruesome singing” is indeed one of the highest things trending.
This made Ling PingAn feel even more relieved.
However, unfortunately, when he taps, he realizes that all the posts are full of users whose job is to clean up the mess.
Ad and fan accounts have dominated all corners of its screen.
Almost everyone talks on the same track, and only positive comments get attention and critical comments do not.
Looking at all the fancy articles and comments that only supported the show, Ling PingAn decided to turn off his phone.
Out of the mind.
“I think I will close the store and play games,” thought.
After all, E-sports is the fairest game.
If he wins, all the praise is given to him, and if he loses, his team-mates can be blamed.
Black and white, right or wrong – all very clear.
He walked to the entrance of the shop and started lowering the gate of the roller.
“Why, is it foggy again?” Just as Ling PingAn was about to lower the gate of the roller, he noticed that there was a thick fog in the streets outside the door that without his knowledge had secretly covered the entire alley.
It was pitch-black in the mist. There is not a single bit of light.
Seeing this, he stopped lowering the gate of the roller.
Suddenly, he thought of the young girl yesterday, and the items he left behind in the store: A bag of unknown dried leaves and a dagger made so beautifully.
“He might come back and make up for it, right?” Ling PingAn thought. “After all, that bag of leaves alone might be worth thousands of dollars.”.
…
In the darkness of the night, Han Li walked to the electrified steel gate.
The machine gun, which had been mounted on the fence tower, began to rotate, pointing towards him.
A camera also turned towards him. It started scanning itself.
Immediately, an electronic voice that sounded like a woman sounded, “Welcome back, Major Han Li.”
“1.3 Million people in Safe Zone of Donglin City thank you for your dedication and sacrifice.”
The steel gate, which weighed several tons, opened on each side, revealing a narrow passageway only large enough for one person to pass through.
Han Li raised his head and entered.
As soon as he entered, several mechanical probes protruded from all directions, and, at the same time, an electronic chair appeared in front of Han Li.
Han Li sat on the chair. The strip of electronic bandage firmly stuck his body in place.
The liquid crystal screen fell in front of him.
His body data line was then displayed on the screen.
Electronic voice began to announce, “Now New Year Era 23, July 12, 03.15”
“Welcome home, our esteemed Major Han Li!”
“Today, your height is 168 cm, and your weight is 55,000 grams.”
“Blood Oxygen Saturation, 99 percent. Myoglobin level, 21.8 G/L. ”
“Your body data is amazing!”
“Your mental fluctuation is a little down. Please take care to manage your mental health and check your mental security. “
“An appointment has been made for you with Chief Doctor Zhao Licheng. Consultation time tomorrow, 9:10 “
“Application for Spirit Mending Service has been created. Service time is New Era Year 23, July 15, 14:00 ”
Han Li's seat descended gradually as the sound of the electronic broadcast sounded.
Quickly, it reached underground.
At the entrance, some soldiers carrying loaded rifles saw Han Li coming and immediately saluted, “Welcome back, Officer Han!”
An officer came to him and saluted, “Major Han Li, Brig Gen Wang Jingcheng is waiting for you in his office.”
“Good.” Han Li nodded.
His ears still continued to ring because of the chatter. He touched the boiling book on his body. Han Li knew that before he could confirm that the book and its contents were completely safe, he should not reveal his whereabouts to anyone.
Because humanity is incapable of facing the second great apocalypse.
Han Li thought of his teacher, who was also his adoptive father, Yan Cheng.
Once he became one of the most powerful demon hunters in Donglin City, an elite warrior who once drove out Class A monsters.
“Don't cry for me.” His master, who is now on the verge of collapse and will succumb to a miserable fate, lies in a cabin made of special alloys and gazes at him through glass, and looks at him through his, “I will ascend into space and be with humanity in eternal space. “
“This is the fate of demon hunters, and where our greatest task lies.”
“Sacrifice and dedication are not a waste.”
“At least, you're alive.”
“Everyone is alive.”
Human civilization remains!
Young Han Li could not understand all of this. He could only cry while chasing after his teacher's cottage. He chased after her until she lost all her strength, wailing and screaming with all her might.
Half an hour later, a carrier rocket took off from the launch base in Donglin City.
Carrying Han Li's teacher and foster father, he flew and flew, flew out of the atmosphere, flew out of the stratosphere, broke away from the clutches of gravity, and soared into the wilderness of boundless space.
It was the home of demon hunters.
And closure, voluntarily chosen by every demon hunter.
They cannot stay on their home planet and become a nightmare for mankind.
It was 23 years into the New Era. Lots of cabins belonging to demon hunters floating in space.
That is the elegance of humanity and also the epic of humanity.
The nagging near his ears dragged Han Li back to the real world.
He raised his head, looking at the alloy wall of the underground base and the army in front of him.
“At least...,” he said to himself, “.... I have freed myself from the fate of my teacher.”
The demon that had been sealed within his body had been completely destroyed.
His strength had been completely controlled by the demon hunters.
But the rant near his ear reminded him that when one wretch goes away, the other can remain.
However, he had no choice.
“Let me be the test subject of mankind.”
This was the great task of the demon hunters, the true essence of sacrifice and dedication.
…
The clock ticks near twelve midnight.
Ling PingAn was a little annoyed at losing a few matches.
He lifted his head and looked at the clock. “Hour 12?… Looks like the girl won't be coming today..”.
“Could he be punished by his parents?”
Thinking about it, it seemed like a real possibility.
The rich and aristocrats of the Federal Empire attach great importance to such things.
Even though public opinion had attacked them, they could not change.
In the eyes of these old men, playing games was not a decent job, writing novels was a path that went nowhere, no matter what, and doing interesting things like cosplay is a shame for families.
Therefore, in the eyes of young people in the federal territory, conservative parents are more hated than the federal government has taken control of everything. They really hope they can hold a referendum and elect those people away.
Through the twists and turns of fate, Ling PingAn thought of the cup of tea he made with the leaves that afternoon.
“This is so weird! I have not needed my glasses until now.. ”He scratched his head and took out a leaf bag from the drawer.
The wrinkled leaves are put in a plastic bag. When he saw them, they didn't seem extraordinary.
But once dipped into the boiling water, his entire body became full of energy.
In the afternoon, he won 13 games in a row and became the MVP for all matches!
“Because there are so many leaves..”
“Let me make another cup..,” thought Ling PingAn inwardly. “In the worst case scenario, I will compensate him with some money when he returns.”
So thinking, he poured some leaves from the bag.
Then, while holding the teacup, he walked to the water dispenser and lit the hot water.
In an instant, a delicious scent once again seeped into his nose.
“It's delicious!” Ling PingAn held onto the teacup, took a sip of it, and his entire body immediately became energetic. It was as if his mind had become active and all his fatigue had vanished.
“It looks like I will dominate tonight,” he said confidently.
…
The sky is deep red.
It looked like a huge blood clot that was heavily pressing against the roof of the world.
The sun that used to bring light and heat to the world was now like a wisp of cold flames that was slowly extinguished.
The light can no longer warm the world.
Humans can only survive in the last days of their existence.
The wind roared across the ruins.
Collapsed buildings piled up everywhere, forming a hill of rubble consisting of gravel, bricks, glass, and steel.
Everywhere lying open were rusty steel rods and rusty cars whose only frames remained.
Elizabeth walked among these ruins.
Its electronic sensors are constantly sending all kinds of data to its core.
Whether it's vibrations from the ground, pheromones in the air, or everything that can “view” with his eyes.
Through 341 nanoelectronic sensors installed in his body that are tightly integrated with his nerve cells, everything is converted into data and continuously sent to the quantum nucleus in his brain.
There, all the data is returned to the real picture and then sent back to his brain.
It feels like installing a filter, or adding an extra firewall layer.
This was the only way that humanity could still survive in this miserable world.
Since Void Storm, 100 years had passed.
The once glorious human civilization is now like an expired candle swaying in the wind, which might be extinguished at any moment.
Victims must abandon their fragile bodies and embrace the machine.
Symbiosis with machines has become the last hope for mankind.
Even so, it is undeniable that the global population will still continue to decline.
Right now, the great North American continent only had 3 million people left, all of them stuck desperately within the doomsday fortress as they fought, panting.
At this time, Elizabeth, constantly monitoring the quantum nucleus installed in the frontal lobe of her brain, kept an eye on the data and information coming from that core.
Elizabeth suddenly stopped her steps as her entire body became alert.
Buried within his flesh, the nanomachines began to activate one after another, covering his entire body.
Two laser swords protruded from his arm.
Sensors all over his body were moving into an active state.
The sensor responsible for the detection of Spirit Power lights up all in red.
Detected Devil Energy Fluctuations!
“Get! Detected Devil Energy Fluctuations! “
He suddenly jumped. Miniature missile launchers mounted on both shoulders immediately launched two miniature missiles that were already armed.
This missile is only ten centimeters long.
But the warhead it carried was extremely powerful!
The explosion!
The explosion!
One by one, the missiles hit the hill of ruins to the left of Elizabeth, the source of the detected Demon Energy.
Slag waste and steel rods flying in the sky.
The explosion also gave rise to what was hiding within the hill of ruins. An entity with a spider-like body, as big as a bison, with countless tentacles, grasped the ground firmly. His scarlet eyes lit up ruthlessly as he looked at Elizabeth, who was floating in midair, her entire body shrouded in armor.
Damned creature! Seeing this, Elizabeth did not feel much emotion in her heart, but she was still shocked. “A descendant of Demon Moon!”
The descendants of the Demon Moon were among the most dangerous Diablo descendants in the North American continent.
They were children from the Dark Side of the Moon, Diablo entrenched on the surface of the moon.
They are also one of the greatest enemies of mankind. These damn things will kidnap a female human and use it as a tool to raise her offspring.
Reproductive isolation is like a joke to them.
Therefore, as soon as she saw the monster, Elizabeth immediately wanted to start a miniature fusion reactor installed on her body and escape.
But since the order has just been issued, the fusion reactor has just begun operating.
A strange sight appeared before Elizabeth's eyes.
A thick fog, an unknown fog of high density, suddenly enveloped the ruins where the descendants of Demon Moon were located and the nearby area for several hundred meters.
This fog was so strong that Elizabeth could only see the descendants of the Demon Moon who struggled to escape just before the thick fog before making things quiet.
Something very scary seems to be coming down.
It killed the descendants of the Demon Moon amidst the thick fog.
Moreover, from beginning to end, all the Descendant of Demon Moon could do was fight for a while.
Seeing this, Elizabeth landed on the ground.
He hesitated, stretched out his arm, and pressed the watch on his wrist, “Drone!”
The watch fell down automatically, then turned into a four-winged drone the size of a fist. Under Elizabeth's gaze, she flew into the thick fog that had mysteriously appeared to investigate.
However, as soon as the drone flew into the thick fog, it lost contact with Elizabeth.
The essence of human technology could not even last a second inside the thick fog.
Elizabeth's expression immediately became serious.
After a long while, it seemed that after making up his mind, he walked towards the thick fog.
He had to find out .... what exactly was inside this thick pile of fog?
