MTL - Be a Human Again From Conan-Chapter 1 demon
Chapter 1 Monster
The night fell, the lights dimmed, and the slanted moon rose.
Under the street lamp, in front of a chess stand, Ji Xing twirled the second cannon with three fingers, turned over the middle **** and defeated the red seven pawn, raised his head and said, "Master, that horse just now shouldn't be eaten, now I'm driving the cart." , you can only dodge the car, and if you dodge the car, the bottom image will be lost.
The cannon is like a general at the bottom, only a sergeant. I will turn the cannon again. The heavy artillery is lore. You can only use veterans. If you are a veteran, you can’t hold it. Checkmate. "
This is a conventional abandoning horse flying knife (chess flying knife, referring to the layout of traps, most of which use lost pieces as bait to achieve the upper hand or quickly attack and kill) in the game of the backhand screen horse. Ji Xing has played more than a thousand games, and is familiar with You can go down with your eyes closed.
It is said that it is better to lose a son than to lose a first.
Hit by a flying knife, Zhuge Liang and his second uncle couldn't save him.
Seeing the gray-haired old man on the opposite side staring at the chessboard and falling silent, and those watching chess next to him also shaking their heads, Ji Xing said again: "If you abandon the car and save the elephant, you can hold on for a while, but...you see, it's getting late, I Bian is also going to close the stall and go home, peace is the most important thing for us, I will not charge you for this game, how about it?"
The sign next to the chess stand reads: '5 yuan per game of broken chess, 50 yuan for cracking, 10 yuan for each game of chess, 50 yuan for winning, 20 yuan for each game of guiding chess, splitting and explaining chess, small business, no credit. '
"Okay, old Zhang, don't even think about it, you can't even play with me, you play with Xiao Ji?"
"The first two sets were obviously trying to trick you, do you really think you have a chance to win?"
"Xiao Ji is very interesting. You won't be charged for this game. It's only a loss of 20 yuan. It's considered tuition. Go home, go home."
The chess players next to him also persuaded Uncle Zhang.
But Uncle Zhang never said a word.
Ji Xing glanced strangely, and saw that the old man's eyes were red, his breathing was heavy, and besides the deep forehead lines, even the veins on his forehead had burst out.
Losing two games of chess, so angry?
Ji Xing froze for a moment, his expression changed drastically.
Broken, I was hit by a knife!
Three games of chess won 20 yuan, the old man lay down on the ground, 200,000 yuan may not be enough!
He hurriedly said: "Uncle Zhang..."
Thorn it!
The sound of cloth being torn interrupted Ji Xing's words. On the opposite side, Uncle Zhang's fingertips stretched out with black nails, his arms swelled and thickened, his sleeves were torn, and thick black hair grew out!
His ordinary old man's face was torn and twisted, and at the same time as a stench filled the air, his whole body turned into a two-meter-tall black-haired monster!
"Oh shit!"
Ji Xinghun'er almost flew away in fright, threw the chess stand at the monster's face, turned around and ran away.
The monster swung its claws, tore the chessboard into pieces, and rushed towards Ji Xing ferociously.
"It's a monster!" The chess players who were watching chess also scattered and fled in all directions while Uncle Zhang transformed.
Perhaps he lost the game and forgot his grudge, "Uncle Zhang" only had Ji Xing in his eyes, and his **** hairy legs moved quickly, and the distance was shortened in an instant.
Just at the critical moment, a crescent moon passed by in the air, and the head and neck of the running monster separated, and ran two meters according to inertia, and fell down with a plop, spraying black blood.
Ji Xing ran more than ten meters before he dared to look back. Seeing that the demon was dead, a handsome boy of sixteen or seventeen was standing aside with a knife in black, and he let out a long breath, panting rapidly.
"This is the first time I've seen an idiot monster who was exposed because of losing chess..." The boy waved to Ji Xing: "It's okay, we'll take care of it here, the hunters will protect everyone."
Ji Xing took a deep breath and gave the boy a thumbs up: "Great!"
"Huh?" The young man saw a lot of people who were frightened by monsters, and was a little surprised by Ji Xing's reaction. He was taken aback for a while, and then returned a shy smile.
Ji Xing glanced at the corpse of the monster and the unnecessary chess stall, and walked home with lingering fear.
The town under the night is quiet and peaceful. People returning home from get off work are smiling. There is still smoke rising in the distance. It is a street away, and the appearance of monsters does not cause any trouble to people.
Some acquaintances asked Ji Xing: "Has the stall been closed?"
Ji Xing replied: "It was accepted."
All the way home and locked the door, Ji Xing cursed in a low voice: "Damn world, I'm so scared to death."
He is a time traveler.
It has been almost a month since I traveled to this 'Monster Continent' from modern society.
On this demon continent, demons and humans have coexisted since ancient times.
Demons feed on human brains, eat human brains, and can also inherit the memory and identity of the person, changing their shape and hiding in human society to prey on them.
Uncle Zhang just now is an example.
Obviously, the demon even inherited Uncle Zhang's habit of playing chess, and the smellier it is, the better it is, and even loses his defense.
Without being exposed for some reason, there is almost no way to see through the disguise from the change of personality habits.
Speaking of chess, Ji Xing felt strange about the many places in this world.
Obviously, there is nothing similar to the historical development of the world before time travel, but there are chess, army chess, go and other chess games, and the inventor and invention time are no longer available, which made him suspect that there was a time travel like him in the long past By.
In this small town called 'Yangliu' where he lives, there are different races of people living there. There are Uncle Zhang and Uncle John, but they all speak Chinese with a perfect accent, even some details of language habits They are all the same, and everyone is accustomed to even popping out a few dialects occasionally.
The overall level of technology was probably at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, but as far as ‘Ji Xing’ knew, it had been at this level for at least several hundred years.
Maybe the two worlds are different?
There were no monsters before the time travel, or maybe the larger city has already used some high-tech, but this remote town has not yet been exposed to it?
Ji Xing hasn't had the chance to visit other places yet. I heard that the wild is the territory of demons, and he doesn't have enough money and strength to travel.
He has just passed through for a month, and he is still in the stage of adapting and surviving. He has no time to think about anything else. All that is left to him from his predecessor is a bare house.
Still unemployed, with no family or reason.
If you don’t make money, you will starve to death.
Before Ji Xing traveled, he was just an ordinary person. The world also has soap and glass. If he wants to make some inventions, he doesn't know where to start, not to mention that this world has extraordinary power.
It is impossible to work part-time.
After thinking about it, he realized that perhaps his greatest specialty is playing.
Ji Xing before time travel loves to play and knows how to play.
He has a very high level of various online games and board games. He is also well-known for football, table tennis, and badminton. Even for emerging board games and escape rooms, he is also a good player.
Most of them are useless. After two days of investigation, he chose to set up a chess stand to make a living temporarily and accumulate his first wealth.
There is no urban management in this world.
Knowing how to accept as soon as you see it, and if the fee is appropriate, he feels that this should be safe, and he has indeed accumulated a small amount of wealth after a month.
Never thought that setting up a chess stand would make the opponent human, this world is too dangerous!
Although there are demon hunters patrolling the town, they are still hard to guard against in an emergency.
Just like Uncle Zhang, wasn’t his brain replaced by the infiltrating demons who quietly ate his brains?
Even if he was on the street just now, if Ji Xing reacted a little slower and ran a little slower, he wouldn't be able to wait for the demon hunter's rescue at all!
In that case, I'm afraid he...
Ji Xing felt lingering fear, facing the mirror, stretched out his tongue to lick the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
I'm afraid he is also a monster...
is exposed!
