I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon - Chapter 56

After doing nothing for the entire afternoon, Ling PingAn suddenly remembered that there was something he hadn’t completed yet.

So he found himself a small shovel and climbed onto the roof.

He scooped up some soil from the corner of the roof and placed it in a plastic pot.

Then he carefully buried the pit of the delicious peach that he’d eaten yesterday into the soil.

He then turned around and pulled down the fly of his pants and urinated into the pot.

“You have to grow quickly!” Ling PingAn told the plastic pot. He was filled with anticipation.

He was already imagining the scene where this pit grew to become an enormous peach tree that bore lots of fruit for many years.

He carefully placed the plastic pot by the side of the wall under the eaves.

He then walked into the building and closed the door.

His footsteps faded as he gradually got further away.

It was already past five in the afternoon.

The sun was getting ready to set in the west. The sunlight landed gently on the roof of the building. It hit the plastic pot through the gaps in the fence around the roof.

Under the radiance of the sunlight, little green tender leaves stuck out of the soil. They couldn’t wait to emerge and enjoy the nourishment of the sunlight.

……

Ringggg!

The phone rang.

Situ He immediately picked up the phone, “Situ He here!

“Yes…

“The Commander in Chief has canceled his trip here?

“Because something happened in Beizhou?

“Understood!

“I know, I’ll make the necessary preparations. Tell the Commander in Chief not to worry!”

Situ He’s eyes were filled with confusion as he placed the phone down.

There was a huge piece of news from Beizhou.

The hoof-and-mouth disease that had stumped even the plague specialists of the Federal Empire, the livestock scientists, and the Blackguards had undergone a complete reversal.

Workers there had found that large batches of infected livestock that were about to be put down humanely had recovered completely.

They’d also ascertained information through their autopsies and samples.

The strange phenomenon on the samples that had stumped everyone had vanished without a trace.

Then, the plague workers of the Beizhou Kingdom also noticed that the plague transmission in the various territories of the Beizhou Kingdom seemed to have paused. It seemed to have come to an abrupt stop.

The sudden change elated many people, but it also caused many others to worry.

This was because no one knew if everything was over, or if a new calamity was about to unfold.

Because of this, the central Federal Government had had no choice but to send the Commander in Chief to take the helm in Beizhou as a precaution.

After all, there were about 200 million citizens of the Federal Empire in the expansive Beizhou territory.

Of course, the Commander in Chief also had made arrangements for Jiangcheng City.

The lieutenant-general of the Blackguards and the Grand Secretary of Internal Affairs, Zhang Hui, would come to Guangnan on a private plane to execute the trials and judgments.

His plane would land at the Jiangcheng Airport in an hour.

Zhang Hui’s arrival made Situ He heave a sigh of relief.

Within the Blackguards, the Grand Secretary of Internal Affairs had always been famous for his intelligence and resourcefulness.

He might be able to find out about the background of the boss of the bookstore.

Even if he failed to do so, there was a little bit of a buffer with him around.

As he thought about this, Situ He started to prepare the material that he had gathered.

……

Thump! Thump!

His heart beat slowly but gradually recovered.

The coffin that was made out of crystal slid open.

On the walls, the ancient oil lamps started to light up one after the other.

He opened his eyes.

At the instant that he opened his eyes, the sound of a bell rang out from within the deep underground chamber.

A moment later, a flurry of footsteps could be heard from above.

Men and women dressed in white sacred clothes nervously arrived at the door of the underground chamber.

“Lord…” A little girl took out a key and opened the door. She looked at the human figure who had stood up from within the coffin, then bent her knees in worship. “You’ve woken up?”

“Yes…

“I’ve woken up!”

He opened his arms. A set of silk robes automatically fell onto his body.

He stepped onto the ice-cold floor and walked to the front of the group.

Countless ferocious, blood-red eyeballs popped out from under the skin of his face.

His body shook slightly from the pain. He could barely manage to control his body.

“Don’t be afraid!” He looked at the people in front of him who were trembling with fear. He smiled. “Don’t worry, this is because of the contract. I’ll never harm you!

“Descendants of Van Helsing!

Then he looked at the little girl and asked, “You are this generation’s Duke Rhein?”

The little girl nodded.

“Time passes so quickly…” He bent over and picked up the little girl.

“Take me to the meeting of the Sacred Alliance,” he said as he carried the little girl.

“Lord…,” a old priest took a deep bow and said, “…have you forgotten?

“The Sacred Alliance was forced to dissolve 30 years ago…”

He froze slightly. The smile on his face turned rigid.

“That’s right, the Sacred Alliance was forced to dissolve 30 years ago.” All of a

sudden he recalled this.

His face became contorted in immense fury.

“Li Shouyi!” He clenched his teeth. His entire body turned red.

The rest of the people knelt down. They didn’t even dare to raise their heads.

……

The other side of the world.

It was a place commonly known as the Inner World.

It was a place where dreams settled.

A giant, strangely shaped tumor of meat grew in this land where countless dreams intertwined.

There was a giant vessel-shaped object on the surface of the tumor that was entwined deep within the Inner World.

It was constantly absorbing various substances.

A cocoon-like object was growing at the top of the tumor.

It was gradually increasing in size.

Finally, the cocoon broke open.

A muscular human figure stepped out from within the cocoon.

He looked at the countless dream worlds in front of him.

He placed his hands together and softly recited a Buddhist mantra, “Amitabha. Good Karma! Good Karma!”

He then took out several decorative items.

He moved his large hands slightly as he continuously twisted and sculpted with those items.

Finally, he transformed those items into a golden monk staff.

He then took out a golden book.

He grabbed the book with immense force. The book started to burn.

When the book had been burned completely, a bronze bowl appeared in his palm.

He then took out several clothes that shone with various colors of light from the wasteland. He crumpled these clothes into a ball.

Finally, a purple monk’s robe appeared on his body.

He raised his head and brought his hands together once again. He had a serious expression, “Amitabha. Monk Fahai was born during the year 2821 and entered monkhood when I was ten. I learned under Zen Master Jinghui in Fayan Temple…

“I’ve finally finished my studies and can now exterminate demons in service of all life!”

While he was speaking, countless leech-like creatures manically dug out from within his body.

These creatures opened their ferocious, terrifying mouths. They released a pitiful, horrifying cry like an incubus deep within a dream.

This made him look extremely eerie.

Half of him was sacred, the other half evil.

These two forces intertwined and finally fused into his body.

Thus, he carried his monk staff, bronze bowl, and monk’s robes and entered the dream world.
