Judgment

There are all kinds of strange stories about demons in the world, which are recorded in Chinese Shan Hai Jing and foreign bibles.

These spirits or devils all possess great power and feed on humans.They are unparalleled in beauty, and they have boundless charm in human form, luring countless human beings to throw themselves into the net.

Not long ago, Wang Chen always thought that this setting only existed in novels.It is impossible to have demons and ghosts in reality, even if there are, why do they want to use humans as bait.Is human flesh delicious?

However, the monster that suddenly appeared in his room told him.He is not a human being, but a candidate for the demon king who aims to destroy human beings.

Wang Chen suddenly felt that the real world was actually more absurd than the novel.

"Your Highness, please have a meal."

A pair of hands with white gloves appeared in front of Wang Chen holding a plate. The handsome monster reminded him and put the plate on the table.

A cup of instant noodles was impressively placed on the dinner plate. This was the lunch that Wang Chen's subordinates had just prepared for him.

Food, mansions, beauties, everything that a candidate for the Demon King can have is all a bubble fantasy.

According to William, that is, the monster who assisted Wang Chen, before officially succeeding to the throne as the Demon King, these candidates only had a nice title, they had no actual power, and they could not go to the extra get something.

According to the thinking of monsters, the strong can get everything they should get by relying on their strength, not by asking.

Therefore, Wang Chen still lives in his rented house less than ten square meters, eating instant noodles made by the monster's men.Fortunately, William didn't need food, and he didn't have to pay for a monster's food.

After taking a bite of the noodles with a fork, Wang Chen said, "I suspect again now, did you find the wrong person?"

William stood respectfully, waiting for his next sentence.

"As a monster, you don't need to eat, but I eat three meals a day, and I can't miss meals." Wang Chen swallowed a mouthful of noodles, chewed, and said: "And I don't have horns on my head."

"Your Highness, the appearance of each monster is different, and not all monsters have horns." William replied, "It's not that we don't eat, but our food comes from humans, and it's easier for us to pretend to be humans. You The reason you still need human food is because you've grown up in this environment for decades and your body is used to it."

"In this case—" Wang Chen took a sip of the noodles and said inarticulately, "Why do you want to destroy humans? What do humans eat when they kill all the monsters? If you run out of water, you will starve to death."

"About this point, the elders actually have disputes." William stretched out his hand, wiped a little stain from the corner of Wang Chen's mouth, and continued: "Actually, what we call destruction is not the slaughter of human beings. It is the destruction of human social functions and social functions." Ego, keep them in captivity. It will be much more convenient for us to get food."

"Captivity." Wang Chen was taken aback. "Like raising pigs and sheep?"

William replied: "Exactly. But some elders argue that if humans are raised in captivity, their taste will lose... a special feeling." He seemed to be hesitating and didn't know which word to use to express .

But Wang Chen knows everything. "I see. Just like pheasants and chickens, humans like wild game, and so do monsters."

"I admire your wisdom, Your Highness."

Ignoring William's compliment, Wang Chen asked again, "Then what was the final result of the elders' discussion?"

"Judgment. A trial of humanity, Your Highness."

William bowed his head and said: "Human overpopulation and soaring ambition are destroying the world, and we don't want to indulge their behavior. Therefore, the vast majority of elders are in favor of raising humans in captivity, but because they are worried that humans in captivity will lose their original Another part of the elders objected. If it can be proved that the continued development of human beings will not cause too much loss to the world, then we can accept maintaining the current situation."

"So, this is an important trial. It is a trial of whether human beings still have the right to live freely in this world." William finally said.

Because they were worried that the human beings raised in captivity would lose their original flavor, the monsters gave humans a chance to test whether they still had the right to act arbitrarily against this world.Wang Chen concluded that, as precious food, humans still have a bargaining chip in front of monsters—their taste.

And it is seven candidates who will make the final judgment for the monsters.

After William's explanation, Wang Chen finally understood his responsibilities.He only needs to make a judgment on whether to keep humans in captivity based on what he has seen and heard and submit it to the elders.Before that, though, he had to choose his side.

Whether to judge human beings or let them go.

"Your choice? Your Highness."

Wang Chen first thought of a question. "If humans are our thing, can I choose my own food and decide whether to eat them or not?"

"Of course, you can even keep some humans in captivity as pets." William replied.

Wang Chen thought of his parents.He thought, as long as he could ascend the throne and envelop them within his own power range.He can do something for his parents—provide them with a stable living environment, and prevent other monsters from eating them.It's the only thing he can do.

Since he was a child, some people have said that he has indifferent feelings, that no matter how nice he is to him, he is a kind who does not know how to return.But Wang Chen just couldn't understand why others would treat him well?Why does he have to reciprocate when other people treat him well?His joy and anger are almost slight to none.

Before, he always thought that it was abnormal for him to think so, but William told him that monsters don't have emotions, so they can't understand human emotions.

Only then did Wang Chen realize that it wasn't that he was ungrateful, nor was it that he was abnormal.But from beginning to end, he is not human at all.Wang Chen thought of saving the lives of his human parents who raised him and switching to ordinary monsters, and he didn't even think about such a thing.

After all, he was raised by humans. Although he can't have human emotions, he can always try to experience them.

"Your Highness, after you are found, the competition among the candidates will officially begin." William bowed: "You must hunt more humans than other candidates to obtain the throne."

"Didn't you say that the candidate is only in charge of trial? Killing people?"

"It's not murder, Your Highness. It's destruction." The corner of the handsome monster's mouth evoked a smile of interest in catching prey. "We prey on human beings and feed on their emotions and souls. Just killing human bodies is not enough to satisfy our hunger. What you need to do is to hunt more human souls during the trial process."

In short, it is using the trial as an excuse, and the candidates are fighting each other to see who can destroy more human beings, spiritually and spiritually.

"Okay." Wang Chen tried to remind himself that now he is a monster and not a human.At least he had to think so until it was safe. "what should I do?"

"First of all, you need to awaken more talents that belong to monsters. This requires the help of another monster. He once owed me a favor, so we can ask him to help you, Your Highness."

What William said was natural, and Wang Chen didn't feel anything wrong.It seems to be the most natural thing to blackmail another monster with favor.

Due to the special identity of that monster hidden among human beings, he can only be found by going out at night.That night, when Wang Chen and William, who was disguised as a human, went out, they met the girl next door again.

"Good evening." A look of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, and she secretly glanced at William beside her. "I didn't expect you to go out at this time. Is this your guest?"

"Yes." Wang Chen answered her briefly.The two did not talk much, the girl smiled at them and left.

After walking a certain distance, William who was following him suddenly spoke. "She smells of food."

"kindness?"

William narrowed his eyes, his dark pupils were a little scary. "It's the smell of a human being full of lust. For monsters who like this kind of emotion, she is considered delicious."

Wang Chen didn't want to explore, if fate destined that girl to become food for some monster, then sooner or later he would know.He also didn't think about reminding the girl, is it necessary?

A girl who always goes out in makeup at night is hiding a secret that no one else can know, only she knows.

Tonight is the first night Wang Chen stepped into the night of monsters, the first night he started hunting humans.

It was also the first day for humans to be judged by monsters.

Stepping into the glitz of the night under the moonlight, a thought suddenly appeared in Wang Chen's mind.

Of the billions of human beings living in this world, who knows that there is another superior race, with indifferent and critical eyes, evaluating whether they still have the qualifications to continue living in the world.

And what qualifications do these arrogant monsters use to judge human beings?

He suddenly found it very interesting, not only this nominal trial, but also the monster.Why do seemingly ruthless and loveless monsters be so obsessed with humans?Is it because humans are their vital food, or something else...

In short, this candidate game seems to bring a lot of fun.

Stepping into the night, Wang Chen raised the corners of his mouth in the darkness.

The trial begins.
