Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World

Jack's suggestion made Ying Li's mind turn, and he immediately remembered the name of the client: Principal Jack the Ripper. And wasn't the head of the Seven Deadly Sins agent named Jack? They were really the same person.

Helpless, Ying Li had to change the subject and asked, "You are so capable, why do you still ask me to answer such a simple question?"

"Come with me."

Jack answered simply, then immediately set off, heading towards a large mirror in the house.

Ying Li followed and felt a demonic aura rushing towards him. The mirror actually had strong spatial fluctuations. It turned out to be a portal disguised as a mirror.

As Jack and the other "drilled" into the mirror, the surrounding scenery changed drastically in a trance. The two stood in a desolate area, with cool breezes blowing all around, no one living there, and abandoned buildings everywhere. The atmosphere was desolate and eerie.

The school is right in front of me. The walls and gates are a uniform, dull black color, covered with moss and vines, and surrounded by weeds. The old trees inside the wall extend their withered branches outward, like a bunch of waving ghost hands.

The school was even more deserted and silent. There was no one on the road, on the playground, or near the teaching building. Of course, this only refers to "people". There were still some ghosts and spirits. Ying Li could use his mental power to sense that many low-level ghosts were secretly observing him from a distance. Among them were students and teachers, appearing and disappearing from time to time, and difficult to spot with the naked eye.

From time to time, there were some strange noises, such as whispers, laughter, crying, etc. Ying Li could still hear some of the whispers, which were all about himself and the principal.

These ghosts were originally demons or descendants of demons, but now none of them recognize themselves as the Demon Lord, and they inadvertently reveal their hostility and fear towards humans, fearing that they will be discovered and harmed.

Jack introduced to Ying Li: "Before I joined the Seven Deadly Sins, I was the principal of this elementary school, which was specially opened for the demons and ghosts."

"Weren't you picked up?" Ying Li remembered that his sister Ying Yan, whom he just recognized, was adopted.

When talking about his past, a gentle smile appeared on Jack's stern face.

"Yes and no."

She paused and continued, "I am an orphan. This was originally an orphanage. After the adults left one after another, I transformed it into a school. The teachers and students here are my family, but our conditions are difficult. It was the master who funded my school on the condition that I join the Seven Deadly Sins."

Ying Li asked in confusion: "Isn't it much cheaper to run an orphanage than a school? Why would you choose the more difficult one when you know the conditions are worse?"

Jack was silent for a long while. There were some things she didn't want to say directly, but when she remembered that Ying Li was her master, she felt relieved. It didn't matter anymore. It was all in the past anyway.

"Because...these children are with me..."

The most direct way to expand the orphanage is to transform it into a school, because this way it can get support and funding from the government. Yongye is a country that attaches great importance to education.

As for the obsession with raising these children, it is necessary to mention Jack's own existence.

"Jack the Ripper" is an urban legend from the old times. It was created by the resentment of countless abandoned babies and orphans after their deaths. They resented the irresponsible adults who gave birth to them but did not raise them, which directly led to their tragic deaths.

Jack is the representative of these orphans. She doesn't want there to be any more unfortunate children in the world. This is her obsession.

Each ghost story, under the influence of the residual power of the magic heart, becomes a concrete and substantial "ghost" or "ghost story demon".

After the explosion of the Magic Heart, those who completely lost their magic power became the "ghosts", while a few with special talents who could absorb the magic elements scattered around the world would avoid degeneration and become demons.

Jack vaguely remembered that before Huiyuan was incorporated into the territory of the Eternal Night Empire, it was a backward city with poor conditions and constant wars on all sides.

To some extent, the approaching army of Eternal Night has promoted the unity of all forces. However, faced with the high-end combat power of technology, military forces, and demon masters, they are all powerless to resist.

"Stop! This is a school, you can't go in!"

A strange woman with messy hair, pale face and holding a bloody knife stood in front of the school gate. She was wearing a dignified black dress uniform and black-framed glasses full of literary flavor. She was Jack, who was the principal but retained a weird and murderous aura.

The aggressive Eternal Night army was actually stopped in its tracks by such an unarmed woman, as a sense of oppression latent in everyone's instinctive consciousness struck everyone's heart. Everyone couldn't help but feel palpitations, always feeling that if they disobeyed the other party, their chest would be pierced by the weapon in her hand.

But she never took action, instead she released terrifying murderous intent in an attempt to scare off the invaders.

After all, as a teacher and an educator, she didn't want to reveal the "disembowelment" method she had used to take revenge on humans in front of the solemn school gate, as that would leave a psychological trauma on the children.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a short while before the army slowly moved to the sides. A young and beautiful female general walked out and looked at Jack with confidence.

After taking a quick look at Jack, she made a gesture and gave instructions to the adjutants on both sides. The troops unexpectedly laid down their weapons and moved boxes of supplies to the front of the school.

Jack watched the scene in confusion and couldn't help but put away the weapon in his hand. The female general walked up to Jack and said with a sunny smile:

"From now on, this place and all the surrounding cities will no longer be independent and scattered city-states, but cities under the unified management of our Eternal Night Empire. Your place is the only school within a hundred miles. It can be seen that you are a qualified educator. You can obviously kill thousands of people in an instant, but you didn't do anything to my people in order not to teach the students bad things."

Jack was surprised that the other general could see through her thoughts and see her ability to kill these soldiers. She looked at the assets that she could not earn in decades, and felt that the other party would not give her benefits for nothing. She asked cautiously:

"what do you want?"

The other party smiled again and pointed a finger at himself: "I want you."

……

In this way, Jack continued to serve as the principal of "Grayfield Elementary School" while joining the "Seven Deadly Sins" as an agent. He climbed up in the harsh special training and gained the power and name of "Envy".

The negative emotion of jealousy evolved into a vicious form from the initial envy. As the embodiment of resentment of an abandoned baby and orphan, Jack not only hated the adults who abandoned him, but also envied or was jealous of those children with happy families.

As for why it develops in a vicious direction, it is because only under the influence of the most extreme emotions will people be forced to tap their potential and make great strides in cultivation.

Although it is a bit of a hasty move, the "Seven Deadly Sins" only look at the results. In order to achieve the goal, you must use any means necessary, and in the pursuit of power, you must do everything you can, even if it means becoming "evil."

After listening to Jack's story, Ying Li followed her to a vacant lot covered with weeds. Several ghosts with long tongues and eyes rolled up suddenly appeared behind Ying Li and greeted him with a sporadic and creepy voice:

"Hello, Principal. Hello, and...my strange brother."

If it were an ordinary person, he would be scared to death, but Ying Li had already sensed their existence. Having been the ruler of the demons for a thousand years, it was impossible for any monster to scare him, the leader of the demons.

"This is my master Ying Li, call him Grandmaster." Jack said seriously.

"Oh... Master... OK."

The three ghost students shouted to Ying Li respectfully, and Ying Li looked helpless: "I haven't agreed to be your master yet."

Jack mentioned the reward again: "Then Master doesn't want the money?"

Ying Li said dissatisfiedly: "You are breaking the rules. You have already accepted the mission items."

Jack directly escaped from the abyss and handed the condensed crystal to Ying Li, saying firmly: "Then I will give it back to you. As long as I don't get it, you haven't completed it!"

Ying Li covered his face, feeling a little amused. How could someone ask someone to be his master like this? In order to get close to him, he refused the opportunity to be promoted to the Ghost King Realm.

"I don't understand why you're so persistent."

Jack: "You defeated me and gave me the Abyss Crystal. You are my second parents. I am jealous that you are better than me. I want to learn from you so that I can surpass you in the future!"

What kind of weird reason is this? It seems that this apprentice can't be shaken off. For the sake of the huge sum of money, Ying Li can only agree:

"Okay! Then I'll take you in as my apprentice, and let's get on with the next mission. I need the money urgently."

Jack's face lit up with joy, and he immediately knelt down again to Ying Li. Under the surprised gaze of several students, he completed the apprenticeship ceremony and shouted loudly:

"Respected Master, please come forward and accept my disciple's greetings!"

Ying Li has always disliked such ugly etiquette as kneeling, but Jack was too sincere and he knelt so fast that there was no time to stop him.

"Okay, get up quickly. You are the principal, aren't you afraid that the students will laugh at you?" Ying Li pulled her up.

Jack didn't care. As long as I wasn't embarrassed, it was others who were embarrassed. He ignored the bystanders and went straight to the point:

"I learned from the demonic texts that the methods and instruments used to practice magic were different from those of today. I want to emulate the most correct training methods of the demons so that my students can be superior from the start."

Ying Li frowned and looked around, then pouted and asked, "Are you planning to use this place as a training ground?"

Jack: "Exactly. This is the only place we can use. Does Master think the place is too small?"

Ying Li shook his head: "The area is not bad. But practicing magic is different from exercising the body. It must be done in the most comfortable environment. This is beneficial to the natural circulation, absorption and operation of magic power. It must not be exposed to wind and sun. Practicing in such a harsh environment... No wonder there has not been a demon master in all these years, ah!"

"Forehead?"

Ying Li's theory of cultivation was completely contrary to the common saying that "talents emerge from adversity". Several students who were listening in on the lesson all had strange ideas and wanted to ask: Is it best to cultivate in bed?

"Sea of ​​sparks!"

After saying that, Ying Li used a move he had used in the previous battle, scattering fragments of his own petals all over the sky, forming streams of fluid, which then condensed into some shapes that he had imagined in his mind.

I saw some peculiarly shaped equipment on the open space, which were similar in size and appearance to the fitness equipment in the gym.

As Ying Li displayed his magical powers, more and more teachers and students here were attracted by the unique magical aura of Ying Li. That mysterious feeling that seemed neither strong nor weak, and could not be seen through by anyone's cultivation level, made every ghost very curious.

When they heard that Ying Li was a precious demon, the ghosts became even more curious. What? Why do demons look so much like humans? If you only look at the appearance without using magic to perceive, Ying Li is really a human.

Ying Li in the center of the venue used the "Sea of ​​Sparks" to build various strange facilities while explaining like a professor giving a lecture:

"These are the most commonly used instruments for practicing magic in my time. They basically cover all the known types of exercises required for practicing. There are also special cases that require special customization, such as yours, which requires the "Abyss Crystal."

These instruments come in all shapes and sizes.

Some look like an ancient flour mill, consisting of a wheel-shaped object with a small top and a large bottom, but it is hollow inside and has some asymmetrical round openings on the outside.

Some are like swings, but the seat is above your head and is fixed. Only the ropes on both sides can swing freely, and there are two long balls full of straws hanging below;

Others look like a giant octopus made of iron pipes and balls. Its tentacles can twist from time to time, and the round mouth on its head looks like an octopus's mouth, with black mist spewing out from time to time.

The ghosts watching were amazed. As ghosts, they could not understand these items that they had never heard of or seen before. Suddenly, they were eager to explore the history of the demons. It was like traveling back in time to take a look.

Ying Li: "What recording equipment do you use? Record the samples I made. I will tell you what materials are needed and you can prepare them."

A zombie teacher raised his hand and replied: "I will draw it by hand. Don't worry, I can draw quickly and well!"

When Ying Li was about to complain about "Why is there no camera?", the zombie had already picked up a pencil and a sketchbook and started writing rapidly on the paper. Within ten minutes, all the objects were presented exactly the same on sheets of white paper, as if they had been copy and pasted.

Jack introduced to Ying Li: "This teacher Fan Gao is the head of our school's art group. He practices the magic skill of "Divine Pen Technique", which is specially used for painting."

Ying Li secretly clicked his tongue, this art teacher was indeed very absorbed in his brushwork, it was not like he had never seen this kind of non-combat magic skills before, but there didn't seem to be any magical fluctuations when Fan Gao was sketching, he was just drawing by his own skill.

Afterwards, Ying Li specifically instructed the school director who was in charge of purchasing materials to get thousands of kinds of materials. Some of them were not available locally at all, but they were still recorded first and as many as possible were made.

The most important step is to input magic power to make these training equipment work, and the most important thing is to have magic fuel as energy.

Ying Li decided to store his and Jack's magic power in a magic container and input it into the container when it was completed.

When everything was explained, it was getting late, and Galantina should have been done with it. At this time, Jack found Ying Li again and handed him a bank card.

He bowed and said, "Master, there are 30 billion in the card. In addition to what you deserve for completing the task, there is also a gift from my disciple. Please accept it."

Ying Li was immediately displeased and said, "I don't play that game. Just give me what I deserve. We should keep public and private affairs separate!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Master."

Jack had no choice but to leave dejectedly, and soon handed the card to Yingli. She still secretly kept an extra 200 million, just letting Yingli know.

"You should have something else to say, right?" Ying Li saw what was on Jack's mind from his eyes.

Jack did not hide it from him and said, "Master, do you still remember the mirror before you came here?"

"I remember. Why?"

Jack thought for a moment and said, "From the intelligence, I learned that Master is helping Master's Wife find the lost soul?"

Ying Li: "Just say it directly."
