Lord Demon is behind you

The Demon King skillfully ignited a ball of dim yellow light on his fingertips, and brought it under his chin, reflecting the entire face pale and gloomy, vigorously exaggerating the atmosphere of the strange talk lecture.

"In a certain country, there is a brave man—"

Wait, why are you also a brave man here?What enmity do you have with the brave man, do you have to bring him out in the story? !

"The brave man has a rag doll in the shape of a devil; it is wrapped in a pure black coat, and it is a very delicate doll." The devil stretched out his hand and gestured for a length less than half a meter in particular, "about this big, it is for sleeping at night. Just the right size."

"Which world would have such a brave man?" The brave man couldn't help complaining anymore.

In general, playing with dolls was a rather extravagant hobby for men of this era.To be honest, if he had the spare time to play with dolls, he probably wouldn't be a hero at all from the beginning, but chose to learn magic.

"It's just a story, so there's no need to verify the background."

No, this kind of story will lead to the murder of the brave man, right? !Be a little more cautious!

"Don't interrupt me to tell the story, just listen to the brave man for now. In short, this brave man has a devil doll."

"The brave man once loved it very much, and gave him a lovely name, 'Master Demon King'. He stood opposite him every day, and played a game of hacking and killing each other and chasing and fleeing with him. This kind of Life has lasted for nearly ten years. For ten years, the Demon King has been by his side, as his game partner, and given him experience points, leading him from level 1 to level 70."

...If you can even increase your level, that's not a game, it's a real fight, right? !

The brave man opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he swallowed all the words of complaint.

Forget it, no matter what, let him finish talking first.

"During these ten years of tempering, the brave man grew up and became a hero praised by the world. He was young, handsome, honest and promising, and was finally spotted by the princess at first sight."

"The princess who fell in love with him invited him to move into a luxurious and spacious castle, and prepared gorgeous and noble clothes for him. The brave man who put on new clothes wore a long sword bathed in holy light on his waist, and held a beautiful and noble female companion , the whole person is so heroic, fascinated countless celebrity girls; but at the same time, the Demon King, who has been training with him for nearly ten years, has already been scarred and very dilapidated."

"This dilapidated doll doesn't match this castle at all, and it doesn't match me who has transformed—— the brave man thought so, and threw the Demon King into the trash without any attachment. The servants threw the trash into the trash. Outside the door, like other waste, it was taken away by the garbage truck in the morning."

"I won't throw you away," the brave man couldn't help but interjected again, "The guy who abandons his companions doesn't deserve to be called a brave man at all."

"...So it's all a story, a story! Don't always bring it to yourself, brave man, speaking of it, I'm not a plush toy in the story, am I?"

The Demon King showed an indescribable expression, and hastily changed the topic.

"In short, the brave man in the story quickly forgot about this matter, and then hired many servants, saying that he would start work tomorrow. He returned to his castle at night. Although he is alone here, but From tomorrow onwards, it will be full of popularity and excitement—just as he was looking forward to tomorrow, he picked up a note left there by someone on the table."

"'Why did you abandon the Demon King? Why did you abandon the Demon King in a place where you are dirty and dark, and you can't see you yet? I don't want to stay here, I want to go back to see you. Please wait for me Hero, I am now I'm leaving to meet you'—the note reads. The handwriting is childish and messy, and the side is stained with smudges."

"The brave man just thought it was someone else's prank, so he threw the note away. However, when he came out of the shower, there was another note on the table. He picked it up and saw that it said, 'Master Demon King walked to the gate of the city Oh, the defense here is really tight', there are a few black threads stained below, which looks a bit familiar."

"He began to feel that something was wrong, and after careful consideration, he recalled the matter of the Demon King."

You should at least call it a "rag doll" instead of a "devil king", the brave man thought feebly.

"However, this is too ridiculous. It's just a tattered doll, has consciousness, and will come back to seek revenge? This is impossible, impossible. It must be a prank. Thinking so, the brave The doors and windows of the room were carefully closed to ensure that magical messages would not slip in through the cracks, but when I turned my head, a new note was already on the table."

"'The Lord Demon King has come to Central Street', it says so. The brave man finally felt a little bit of panic, but he is a brave man admired by thousands of people, and he is not allowed to show weakness or ask for help. If others find out that he actually If he is scared out of his mind by a rag doll, everyone will definitely look down on him."

"Therefore, he had to lock the gate of the castle, every door was tightly locked, and the windows were sealed without any gaps. After returning to his room and locking the door, he was slightly relieved, but found that the paper The bar reappeared on the table."

"'The Lord Demon King has come to the crossroads. If you turn right from here, you will be able to reach the brave man'. The note is correct. The crossroads are very close to the brave man's castle. The brave man wants He ran away, but didn't know where to go, and wandered around the house in a daze, praying unceasingly. However, the new magic message did not obey his wishes at all, and still appeared on the table."

"'The Lord Demon King has come to the gate of the castle, the new home of the brave is really grand'."

"'The Lord Demon Lord has walked into the hall, what a beautiful room'."

"'The Demon Lord has come to the east building, is the bedroom of the brave man right here?'"

Notes appear more and more frequently.The devil gradually approached and invaded the brave man's place little by little, and the fear of the brave man also rose accordingly.He pulled out his sword and crazily smashed the table, thinking that this way the note would not appear—when he was about to hide under the quilt and fall asleep, he found the note on the bed. "

"The Demon Lord has come to the door of the bedroom. The brave man is inside, right?"

"The brave man who collapsed from fright chopped all the furniture and decorations into pieces. After venting his anger, he stood in the middle of the ruined room, bent down and panted heavily, thinking about this, this time It will never come again... The doors and windows are locked, and there is no place to put a note in the current room."

"Just at this time--

"From very close to him, a hoarse voice sounded faintly.

"big boss--

"It's right behind you!!!"

The Demon King leaned out to the side, his face was almost pressed against the brave man's, and the gloomy white light from his fingertips illuminated the chins of both of them at the same time.

"..."

Probably he hopes to create a terrifying atmosphere, so that the audience will fall back in shock.However, the brave man really couldn't give a qualified response.

"..."

Not only the brave man, but even the two girls sitting opposite were silent in unison.

This, how should I put it...

"Stalk is too old."

Although it has been repackaged with the words of a brave man, a demon king, etc., this story, after all, is not a variant of the well-known ghost story "It's behind you!!".

"Is it? But I think the old stalk is more interesting."

The Demon King extinguished the ball of light in his hand, pointed to the opposite side, "Aren't they the same before? Although they made a seemingly powerful beginning, in the end they are Mermaid... Well, forget it."

Stopping his mouth in time, the Demon King raised the candle instead.

"Anyway, the story is over, and it's about time to open the door."

"No way."

This kind of messy old story can only be recognized... strange... eh.

The Demon King breathed out and blew out the candle easily.The brave man couldn't help being stunned.

On the tall bronze candlestick in the middle, a thick candle suddenly ignited a bright flame.At the same time, the originally tight-fitting door made creaking friction sounds, and slowly opened——

Why would this work... No, now is not the time to dwell on this.The brave man hurriedly stood up and pulled the Demon King up.

The two girls on the opposite side also got up.A large amount of white mist gushed out from the crack of the door, gradually engulfing them both.

"...This time, we really underestimated you."

Shaka said.Lana beside her was still ignorant, but her face was extremely serious.

"I thought you were just a useless accessory, but I didn't expect to be able to understand the essence of all this like us—or is it because you realized the essence that you are here? Defeated former demon king, you What exactly is this body, and what is it that you seek?"

The voice went away quickly, and finally dissipated in the vast white mist.It should be that they turned off the magic image.

"The essence of everything?"

What is she talking about.

The brave man couldn't understand at all, so he turned to the Demon King in a daze.

"I don't know," the demon king said with an innocent face, "I just made up a random story, it doesn't have any meaning, huh? It must be that woman is thinking too much."

"...What are you pretending to be stupid for?"

The brave man saw through it at a glance.

The Demon King was not surprised by this either, he just sighed helplessly.

"Since you asked this question, it seems that you can't explain it.... Don't you think the stories they tell are strange, brave?"

Of course it's weird, it's weird from beginning to end.But because there are so many strange points, the brave man didn't know exactly what he was referring to for a while.

While talking, the two started to walk towards the door.The moist and soft mist kept blowing over his body and face, and a layer of tiny water droplets condensed on the surface of the leather armor within a short distance.

It was foggy all around and under our feet, and we could only vaguely see the shape of the road.As for the walls on both sides, they are probably composed of fog at all.

"In that story, the heroine and her friends are obsessed with the hero, right?"

"Ah... um."

Not knowing what expression to make, the brave man could only respond vaguely.

"The strange thing is here." The demon king folded his hands on his chest, "Did I say it before? You humans especially like to find 'reasons' for your actions. You need reasons for doing things, reasons for killing people, reasons for saving people, and reasons for falling in love." Reason; there is always a 'reason' for things that don't have any reason. Therefore, generally speaking, when someone falls in love, he will always take the initiative to find a million things worthy of liking for his object. Advantages: appearance, ability, personality...but—”

The brave man gradually understood.In that story, the brave man seems to have the ability to unconditionally charm the opposite sex, and the girl who has been dumped is also aware of this, and doesn't even find a reason for herself to fall in love with him.

"In addition, the story has been emphasizing that she is favored by heaven, the chosen one, etc. Isn't her intention obvious?...Wow!"

Just after saying these words, the fog has become so thick that you can hardly see your fingers.The Demon King accidentally bumped into the hero's shoulder.

"Why did you stop all of a sudden." He clutched his sore nose.

"Sorry, but..."

The brave stepped aside wordlessly, "Look."

Not far directly in front of the two, a dancer named Lana was dancing in the mist.

This is really an incomparably mysterious scene: Even though the surrounding visibility is so low that even his companions can't see it, yet that bright and enchanting figure can penetrate layers of obscuration and reach the eyes, as if directly branded on the retina .

From far, far away, there seemed to be wonderful music.Accompanied by the music, the dancer twisted her graceful body and danced selflessly.The mist wrapped her in strands and strands, making her look like a mortal fairy.

"She showed up out of the blue. So—"

The brave man raised his hand to wipe off the drops of water on his forehead, but he didn't know whether it was the condensed mist or the dripping sweat.

When he saw her figure, he felt great pressure again, and stopped involuntarily for a moment.

"Speaking of which," the Demon King asked, rubbing his chin, "I never had the chance to ask... Brave, how is your relationship with these two women? They have also confessed to you, right?"
