There is a demon at sunrise

The abyss of the commercial street in the city center remains the same as the last time people saw it. A huge hibiscus tree stands in the center of the city. The original bottomless abyss is filled with intricate roots. The red roots are like a A tangled venomous snake.Fusang didn't take any action anymore, just like a real tree, but when the wind blows, it will still make the unique sound of hibiscus trees. When the leaves collide, they are like blades, and the sound makes people feel chills.

Jianmulin also fell asleep completely, Babaozhai was permanently closed, and human beings transitioned from the Jianmu era to the Fusang era.

The city government established a isolation zone, and the original city center was blocked, making it as inaccessible as a city after a nuclear explosion.

No one knows what Fusang is going to do, he just exists there, motionless.

The center of gravity of the entire city of Yicheng moved to the south, and the usable area of ​​the city, which originally covered an area of ​​17865 square kilometers, was suddenly shortened to 9947 square kilometers.

The northern city of Yicheng remained in ruins, and people expanded to the south of Yicheng to build a new city.

After Zhu Yan stabilized, the gate of the Demon Realm was re-sealed, and hundreds of wizards rushed to the gate of the Demon Realm to set a tighter seal.

All human beings must undergo genetic testing, and wristbands will be issued after passing the testing.What is surprising is that Zhao Yao's genetic test is human, and even after many genetic tests, the result is the same. There is nothing special about his body.Under the struggle of Qi Xiu and Meng Ji, he got a bracelet belonging to human identity.

However, in the personal file, Zhao Yao was marked with an "X", which means uncertain danger. He must undergo a genetic test every month and donate a certain amount of Fu Yao's blood each time.

The monsters in the city have not been completely eliminated, they are more secretive than before, there will be one or two news of monsters killing humans every month, and there will also be one or two news about humans experimenting with monsters.

The big war is over, but the friction and small conflicts between humans and demons are still going on.There are various trends of thought in the society, radicals who want to drive out monsters, conservatives who want to restore the original system, and folk organizations that have been calling for the acceptance of monsters.

The Sanyin Palace still exists, and all the monsters who serve must accept the unified assessment of the government. At the same time, the Monster Administration Bureau, a team composed purely of wizards, also appeared.The governance of monsters is no longer dominated by one family, but mutual restraint between the two parties. Conflicts between the Management Bureau and the Sanyin Palace occur almost every day.

Since Christmas that year, Zhao Yao could no longer use the abilities in his body, even if he stared at a pen tightly, he couldn't move it.

His power is gone, just as Xie Yue promised, he no longer has the power of a hybrid.

But the witchcraft was not lost, and judging by his ability, he was also a top wizard.The Sanyin Mansion threw an olive branch at him, but Zhao Yao refused. He did not join the Sanyin Mansion again, but chose the life of an ordinary human being. The country resumed the college entrance examination system in the second year after the war. Xie Yue had preset a university for him back then, and planned to return to take over his father's company after graduation.A large number of Zhao Fuzhou's previous assets were abroad, but they were not affected too much.

Zhao Yao and Zhao Fuzhou couldn't have that spicy meal with Zhao Fuzhou, because the middle school attached to Yicheng had been bombed, but they lived together, and Zhao Fuzhou never went abroad for business again, and shifted the company's focus to the mainland.

"Dad, I'm back."

"Are you back?" Zhao Fuzhou's voice came from deep in the living room, Xie Yue really fulfilled his wish, now that Zhao Yao came home, someone would respond to him.

Zhao Fuzhou turned over a page. He was watching news on his tablet. Now the situation changes almost every day. He had to keep up with the times and asked casually, "How was your internship today?"

Four years have passed since the battle of Zhu Yan that year. This year, Zhao Yao is in his senior year. Like everyone else, he is facing the problem of entering society. He is currently doing an internship in Zhao Fuzhou's company.He's grown a lot, stronger than he used to be, not as thin as he was in high school, and can hold himself up in a suit.

"I'm in your company, don't you know me well?" Zhao Yao changed shoes at the door and said, "Uncle Fang takes good care of me."

"Is there any little girl you particularly like?" Zhao Fuzhou asked again.

"I said you can reward me whoever you like? What year is it?" Zhao Yao wandered around the house, looking for where the cat at home went.

"It's not impossible..." Zhao Fuzhou said: "The company doesn't like it. Let me introduce a few to you. Isn't Lin Bao's cousin pretty good-looking?"

Zhao Yao found pork in the small living room. The other party ate too much, and it felt like he was almost twenty catties. When Zhao Yao hugged him, the other party didn't want to break free at all, and retracted into Zhao Yao's arms meekly.

"Dad," Zhao Yao hugged the cat and said helplessly, "Cousin Lin Bao just graduated from high school this year, can you be more reliable?"

Zhao Fuzhou was a little guilty. Since the battle of Zhu Yan, he had protected his son a little too much, which made his friends persuade him. Zhao Yao is not a little girl, so don't look at it like this, a child wants to fall in love.Zhao Fuzhou thought to himself that I hope he will fall in love. For so many years, Lin Bao is the only friend, and I can't even look forward to a girlfriend.

Zhao Yao's phone vibrated, and he picked it up without even looking at it, "Huh? Got it, I'll accompany you next week."

Zhao Fuzhou stretched his neck, and waited for Zhao Yao to hang up the phone before asking: "Female?"

"Male." Zhao Yao was a little speechless, "Lin Bao."

Zhao Fuzhou was obviously a little disappointed, "It's him again? You two just live forever."

Zhao Yao wanted to tease him a little bit, and said, "Is it true that the two of us have passed?"

"Let's go," Zhao Fuzhou said absent-mindedly, "I'll tell his father what's going on."

"Then you are really open." Zhao Yao said sincerely.

"That's necessary, my old father in the new era." Zhao Fuzhou gave him a ladder and climbed up.

"I have changed more than a dozen girlfriends." Zhao Yao looked at his watch and said, "I won't tell you anymore, I have an appointment with someone."

"Oh." Seeing Zhao Yao's expression, Zhao Fuzhou knew it was a serious matter, and said, "Can you bring a date home this year? It can be a man or a woman. I beg you, you can't be so lonely all the time." ..." Zhao Fuzhou didn't go any further. Zhao Yao was very "independent". He was able to participate in dinners and communicate with people. He was definitely not a social phobia, but he always felt that he was separated from others, not to mention looking for a partner. , I didn't find anyone close to me.

He asked a lot of people, and some said that his son may have suffered from post-war stress. After the Battle of Zhuyan, many people had psychological problems. Some people still only want to live in the dungeon, and they are afraid that something unexpected will happen at any time. War, they say, is the pain of the times, and now psychological clinics are overcrowded.

Sometimes Zhao Fuzhou wanted to take Zhao Yao to see a psychiatrist, but he didn't dare to say so.

Zhao Yao put down the pork, paused when he walked to the door, and said in the tone of a parent's blind date: "I'll bring it to you."

Shanhai tattoo shop.

Now is the off-season, and there are not many customers who come to get tattoos. Their shop used to be famous for its monster tattoos. After the battle of Vermilion Yan, the business has decreased a lot.Tattoo artist Asu was lying on the table drawing pictures, when there was a ding-dong at the door, she looked up and saw Zhao Yao.The other party stood at the door. He was very tall, about 1.8 meters five, and his head almost reached the edge of the door. He was dressed like an elite, but he seemed very unaccustomed to the constraints of a suit. He didn't wear a tie and unbuttoned two buttons , showing an uninhibited style.

They made an appointment at seven o'clock in the evening, and now it's exactly seven o'clock, not a minute or a second later, Asu said, "You're really on time."

Zhao Yao was very indifferent when he heard this sentence, and said: "I'm never late." Because Xie Yue is never late.

"Very good." Asu responded casually, "Start now?"

"let's start."

He unbuttoned and took off his clothes to reveal his upper body. The front and back of Zhao Yao's body have two completely different styles. From the front, he looks like a very ordinary person. The muscles of the elite people are tighter.But from the back, the scars on the back are intertwined, like collapsed ruins.

Zhao Yao was lying on the bed, and Asu touched it twice with gloves. She wanted to modify some small details according to the direction of the scar, and asked, "I sigh once when I see your scar. It's a bit serious."

Zhao Yao didn't speak. In the past, if someone tried to touch his back, Zhu Yan would burn him, but now there is no such problem.

Asu was making preparations, chatting with the guests while preparing the paint, and asked: "Do you like Qingluan?" Zhao Yao had already communicated with her before the design, and she redesigned it on the basis of the original records , Zhao Yao gave her a lot of advice, saying that she must be beautiful and gorgeous, and be proud.Zhao Yao described it so carefully that it almost made people wonder if he knew this monster.

"Yes." Zhao Yao said in a muffled voice.

Asu said: "It's the first one to see him tattooed on his body." In the eyes of the world, the battle of Zhu Yan is more like Fusang swallowing Zhu Yan. There are complicated reviews on Qingluan, a monster on the Internet, and some people hate it , Said that no matter what he could not cover up the fact that he had killed people, some people admired him very much.Human beings have worshiped monsters since ancient times, and it is difficult to completely extinguish this trend.

Most of the monster tattoos are auspicious beasts like dragons and phoenixes, or gods like Bai Ze, and even some young people tattoo Zhuyan and Fusang, as if worshiping Satan. They think Zhuyan, which symbolizes war, is cool.

But very few people come to Wen Qingluan, he looks too feminine, there is only one Qingluan bird in the world, he only wants to find his lover all his life, compared to other monsters that destroy the world at every turn, his pattern is too small some.

"What do you like about him?" Asu asked.

"Gentle," Zhao Yao said without thinking, "willful."

Asu's face was full of question marks, it was difficult to connect these two images with the Qingluan she knew.

Asu finished printing the draft and was about to draw the outline on Zhao Yao's back. The tattoo pen was already buzzing, and Asu's pen was hanging in the air, so he didn't do it right away.

"Are you sure about the full back?" Asu asked again. Many people would regret doing it. Their responsibility is to prevent customers from regretting it. They persuaded: "The full back hurts."

Zhao Yao lay on the bed, put his forehead against the back of his hand and said, "I'm not afraid of pain."

When Xie Wuhui was young and frivolous, he stamped his seal on the back of Xie Yue's neck, and now Zhao Yao has Qingluan tattooed on his back.

It seemed that Xie Yue would protect him forever.
