The devil is coming

Chapter 5 Grass Stage Team
dinner's ready.
It's morning now, and it's still a little early before it's time to eat, but it's early. In order to celebrate the "Lord's" awakening, there's no problem in starting the meal earlier.
The eating place is in the backyard, next to the room where Zheng Fan woke up.
a round table,
Seven people were sitting.
In the front position is Zheng Fan, on the left is Feng Siniang, and on the right is the blind man.
This blind man is a comic character written by Aqiu. Aqiu's father was a public official and died in the line of duty. She has not told everyone the specific circumstances. It is estimated that only her boyfriend Liang Cheng knows a little bit.
However, the character "Bei" created by Aqiu in the comic "Blind Man" has an extremely bloody law enforcement model. He sets up private courts to punish prisoners without any regard for humanity, and his methods are extremely cruel. How come you vent.
But in reality, the person "Bei" gives people a very peaceful and cheerful feeling, smiling and having no temper.
The seating arrangement is naturally very particular. Feng Siniang and Bei sit on either side of Zheng Fan, which at least makes the atmosphere at the dinner table less tense.
Vampire A Ming and zombie Liang Cheng were naturally sitting across from each other. According to Feng Siniang's opinion, it was best for them to eat by squatting at the door with their rice bowls in hand. Who could show them their cold faces?
As for Xue San, he was not allowed to go on the table because he was too close to the Lord for fear of affecting his appetite;
Fan Li was too dull and always wanted to talk to someone about his experience in cutting people's sticks. Feng Siniang didn't dare to let him get too close to his master before confirming whether he had resistance to heavy flavors.
"Come, raise a glass and celebrate the Lord's awakening. From today on, we have a backbone!"
Feng Siniang took the lead,
Everyone also stood up and raised their glasses.
The rest followed suit.
After the toast, it’s time to eat.
Zheng Fan was hungry. After all, he was a person who had the courage to "end" himself. After getting through the initial shock and confusion, he now had an appetite for the food in front of him.
at the dinner table,
Fan Li was holding an extra-large rice bowl. He didn't eat much food, but the cooked rice tasted delicious.
Xue San held a chicken drumstick and gnawed it happily.
A Ming was specifically dealing with the pot of sheep blood in front of him, while Liang Cheng was chewing on the sheep bones.
Bei eats slowly and leisurely. He is the most elegant eating person among all the people.
Taking this opportunity, Feng Siniang began to introduce the situation here to Zheng Fan.
First of all,
Naturally everyone showed up.
That's half a year,
One day half a year ago, a total of eight people appeared together on the edge of a desert.
There is naturally Zheng Fan here.
But the others were all awake, except Zheng Fan who was still in a coma.
Everyone carried the unconscious Zheng Fan and slowly explored the surrounding area. Later, they chose this small town on the edge of the desert as their foothold.
The place where everyone is now can be regarded as an inn, but this inn has many entertainment projects. It is a bit like a modern entertainment club. You can eat, drink, play, sleep and be satisfied here.
Feng Siniang is naturally in the business. Among these people, she is actually the only one with business acumen.
In this inn, Feng Siniang has a dozen girls who are specially used to receive guests.
The stage was used for performances. Xue San was responsible for dressing up as a clown, or telling storytelling stories, while Liang Cheng performed some acrobatics, crushing rocks on his chest or holding a spear at his throat.
A Ming is responsible for brewing wine, and the wine he brews is very famous in this small town.
Blind Bei set up a fortune-telling stall at the entrance of the inn, and he could fool everyone.
As for Fan Li, he was responsible for chopping wood and doing some hard work.
Therefore, the business of this inn has always been good, and it is already considered prosperous in this small town.
Next, Feng Siniang started to scold her. She scolded that although Fan Li worked a lot and could support three people by himself, he could eat as much as five people by himself!
Fan Li, who was honest and dull, raised his head when he heard this and smiled naively. He seemed a little embarrassed, but immediately lowered his head and continued to eat.
Feng Siniang started scolding Blind Bei again. He had been able to defraud many fat sheep in the early days. The start-up capital for the business in this store was obtained by Blind Bei's cheating. However, in recent months, his customers have become less and less. But he was not in a hurry, and went out on time all day long. He did not greet customers or think about business transformation to attract customers. He just sat leisurely at the door to bask in the sun, and then came in on time to eat at meal time.
When Blind Bei heard this, he smiled helplessly and said:
"Hutou City only has a small area, a few people, and only two or three fat sheep. There's nothing I can do about it."
Feng Siniang glared at Blind Bei.
She couldn't count the rest of them. The wine brewed by the vampire A Ming has been selling very well. Some of the carriage teams coming here sometimes come here to buy wine. Xue San is also good at acting and storytelling, even Liang Cheng. He was unwilling, but you asked him to perform acrobatics to attract customers, and he did so.
As for herself, she is manipulating everything inside and out, and the group of girls under her are a source of wealth that guarantees harvests despite droughts and floods.
Of course, Feng Siniang is not happy either. This is probably the ugliest brothel she has ever opened in all her series. The girls under her hands are not delicate, and none of them can play music, chess, calligraphy or painting. Most of them are about the same age as her, and some of them, she even calls them sister.
There is no way. Hutou City is close to the desert and a bitter cold land. The consumption level of the people here is limited. Many of them come here specially for the horse teams, and there is no need for the kiln sisters to know how to play, play, and sing.
For Feng Siniang, this is equivalent to asking a Michelin-starred chef to cook barbecue at a roadside stall... Career happiness is simply appallingly low.
but,
When I heard this,
Zheng Fan, who had filled up a lot of food, had to put down his chopsticks.
one thing,
It made him extremely confused,
Look around the table,
Vampire A Ming, Blind Bei, Fan Li, Xue San, Liang Cheng, plus Feng Siniang. Logically speaking, they should all be demon-like figures. Why are they all living in this small town now? Ordinary people's livelihood?
This seems to be extremely inconsistent with their character design and style of painting.
Therefore, Zheng Fan asked:
"Have you been here for the past six months, making money and living?"
heard,
Fan Li stopped cooking rice.
Xue San bit the chicken leg.
A Ming put down his chopsticks,
Liang Cheng frowned and looked at the bones,
Feng Siniang also stopped talking.
At last,
It was the blind man Bei who gave out a bitter smile,
Road:
"Lord, since the first day when we woke up, we discovered one thing..."
"what's up?"
"That is, we have all become ordinary people."
"..." Zheng Fan.
Ordinary...ordinary people?
This answer and this reality were completely unexpected by Zheng Fan.
However, after calming down and thinking about it, I suddenly felt that it was so reasonable.
Vampire A Ming is already eating blood, zombie Liang Cheng is gnawing bones, a bunch of demons are actually living together in this small town to make money to support their families...
How could they accept this life if they hadn't lost their power?
Even if you are experiencing life, you can’t experience it for half a year, right?
There is good news, that is, after hearing them say that he became an ordinary person, the pressure in Zheng Fan's heart was actually reduced a lot.
Although a toothless tiger can still slap itself to death, it is at least less scary than before, right?
Moreover, although I don't know why, they all call themselves "Lord", which seems to consider themselves the master, but if I really want to control these demons in their heyday, I may not be so courageous.
It seemed that this topic was a bit revealing, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly dropped a lot.
Zheng Fan took a deep breath and then looked at Feng Siniang sitting next to him. There was something he had wanted to ask for a long time but had been holding back until now.
"Magic Pill, where is it?"
"Magic Pill" is the protagonist of Zheng Fan's own comic, a fierce baby boy with an innate tyrannical resentment.
To put it bluntly, when it comes to character creation, horror atmosphere, and plot excitement, no one else in the studio can compare to me. It can also be said that the comic "Magic Pill" is work. The most extreme of all the comics produced by the studio.
Together with the character of Magic Pill, he is also the most terrifying one among the seven demon kings.
But no matter what, the magic pill was drawn by myself after all.
The six people here, even though I have added several chapters to their stories in the past three years, after all, they are other people's stories and other people's characters.
Only the magic pill is mine.
Creators often have a sense of immediateness about their works, similar to watching a child. To say that Magic Pill is Zheng Fan's son is really not an exaggeration at all.
If the magic pill was here, Zheng Fan would feel much more at ease.
It's like an ancient general fighting a war. If you don't have direct descendants under your command, how can you be safe?
however,
This question made Feng Siniang a little embarrassed, as if she didn't know how to answer.
Next to him, A Ming, who was sitting there, stood up, left his seat and entered the room. Soon, he walked in with a box in his arms.
Putting the box on the table in front of Zheng Fan, A Ming said coldly:
"He's inside."
"Ok?"
Zheng Fan stretched out his hand in surprise and opened the box.
Originally, Zheng Fan thought something had happened to the magic pill, and it contained his head because he was a baby. Although the box was a bit small, it seemed to be enough to hold his head.
But after opening the box,
It was found that there was just a black stone in the box.
"This is... a magic pill?"
Feng Siniang glanced at the stones in the box with some jealousy and said:
"Lord, he said that he had no body, no need to eat, no need to drink water, so he did not need to work, so he sealed himself in this stone."
