Chapter 13 Monsters eat people, people kill monsters, it has been like this since ancient times

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shone into the Changsheng Hall.

Guan Shan woke up leisurely and stared at the dagger in his hand. It seemed that only the cold blade could give him some peace of mind.

The aroma of food came from outside the house, causing his stomach to growl.

"I didn't expect someone to get up earlier than me..."

Guan Shan opened the door and saw that his senior sister, Stuttering, had already prepared meals.

Seeing his junior brother wake up, Gu Jia happily waved to him and whispered, "Brother Shi, Shi Hu won't wake up so early. Let's eat seven meals first."

Guan Shan sat at the dining table angrily. He didn't recognize Gu Jia as his senior sister, but this stuttering girl was quite good at cooking and the dishes she cooked were decent.

"That crazy... Master, do you get up so late every day? How can you still do business?" Guan Shan picked up a fried dough stick and stuffed it into his mouth. It was crispy and delicious, unexpectedly delicious.

"Brother Shi, Shi Hu once said, don't talk when you eat, and you will love the wooden fish." Gu Jia raised her little hand and made a "shh" gesture to her mouth.

"You don't talk when you eat, and you don't talk when you sleep!" Guan Shan frowned, and he disliked this preaching little girl even more.

Guan Shan wolfed down the food in front of him, but he still felt that he was not full. He was too embarrassed to ask his "senior sister" for more. Between food and dignity, he finally chose dignity.

Guan Shan left the dining table bravely and returned to his room angrily, feeling extremely aggrieved.

"Hold on for one more year..."

Guan Shan murmured softly.

He patted his face, sat cross-legged on the bed, and activated the powers in his body. Only in this way could he divert his attention.

Unfortunately, an annoying knock on the door interrupted his practice.

Just as Guan Shan was about to get angry, he saw Gu Jia standing timidly outside his door and whispered, "Brother Shi, are you not full? I made some more for you, but Shi Hu said, you can't I’ll have dinner in the room for you, please remember to go there.”

Guan Shan was stunned.

It took him a long time to react, and he came to the dining table in a daze.

Looking at a table of freshly prepared meals.

His heart seemed to be touched...

Ever since his parents died, no one seemed to have cared about whether he had enough to eat or whether he was hungry...

Guan Shan's eyes flashed with luster. He blinked quickly, picked up the food on the table, and ate hungrily again.

Even though his stomach was full, he didn't waste any food.

...

Lincheng Demon Slayer Division Branch.

Boom--boom--boom

"Enter."

An old and majestic voice sounded in the room.

Lu Jiangming took a deep breath to calm down his uneasy mood, then opened the door and walked into the old man's office.

"Xiao Lu, you are finally here."

Deacon Sun's iceberg face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, showed a rare look of joy.

Lu Jiangming felt happy when he saw that the old man was still healthy.

"teacher!"

"Sit down. The battle on the front line is very stalemate. I won't be able to stay for a few days. We master and apprentice will miss each other every time we see each other."

Lu Jiangming sat down with a solemn expression and respectfully poured tea for the old man.

"Teacher, I watched the news. Is the situation on the front line really that bad? How is Fengdu City...now...?"

Sun Wencheng picked up the hot tea poured by his apprentice and sipped it slightly, revealing a hint of loss and pain. He had no intention of hiding it in front of his favorite student.

"Fengdu City...is gone."

Lu Jiangming's hand pouring tea couldn't help trembling, and the tea spilled, but he didn't even notice it.

"How could Fengdu City... If Fengdu City fell, wouldn't the first line of defense be completely defeated?"

Sun Wencheng shook his head, raised the hot teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Now that the first line of defense has become Dawn City, Fengdu City will soon become a distant name, forgotten by everyone."

Lu Jiangming's eyes were dim and dull, and he felt that all the strength in his body had been drained away.

"No way..."

"I will never forget Fengdu City, nor will the 147 comrades who went to the front line with me at the same time. We fought there and sacrificed there. Even if I am the only one who survives, I will never forget it. forget!"

Seeing the student's pain, Sun Wencheng felt extremely sad in his heart.

That high-spirited young man at the time, that good student who had already broken through the fourth level before he was 18 years old and was hailed as the new generation leader of the Demon Slayer Division, now can only hide in the rear and survive as a law enforcement team member...

"Don't think about it. Now that you have retired from the front line, just let go of those things. The work at the rear is equally important. You see, teacher, I still have to travel back and forth at my age. Sometimes I really envy you. of."

Lu Jiangming took a deep breath and didn't want to continue talking about this topic. He knew his teacher well. He had been fighting for his whole life. If there was nothing particularly urgent, he would never come to the city to deal with it personally.

"Teacher, do you have any other tasks when you come to the city this time?"

Sun Wencheng put down his tea cup and nodded.

"I came here with the Other Heaven Sect."

"Bietianjiao? That surrender faction that advocates equality between humans and monsters and wants to use civilization to influence the monsters?" Lu Jiangming didn't know much about Biotianjiao. He only knew that this strange organization always wanted humans and monsters to live in peace. It was a group of Silly and naive person.

Monsters eat people, and people kill monsters.

It has been like this since ancient times.

There has never been a third possibility.

"Well, it is basically certain that the mastermind behind the sea monster infiltration incident is the Bie Tian Sect.

Not only that, they are also buying up crystal cores and monster pills on a large scale, and even driving up prices. If it weren't for the Demon Slayer Bureau's maintenance, the current crystal core price would at least double.

The Bie Tian Sect has stepped on the red line this time. The Demon Slayer Bureau has made up its mind to eliminate this hidden danger and can no longer let them grow bigger."

Sun Wencheng's voice gradually became colder, and he exuded a vague murderous intent.

Lv Jiangming just came back from the black market yesterday, and indeed found that the price of crystal cores has risen a lot compared to last month.

"If that's the case, why don't the superiors give orders, but instead allow them to continue purchasing? If these strategic materials are sent to the demon clan by them, it will cause a disaster!"

Sun Wencheng poured himself a cup of tea and smiled, "Because... they have money..."

Lv Jiangming was stunned, not quite understanding what the teacher meant.

"The Demon Slayer Division has wanted to eat this piece of fat meat for a long time. This time, they finally found a suitable reason. Of course, they must squeeze them clean and swallow them in one gulp."

"All the black markets selling crystal cores are under the control of the Demon Slayer Division. They really think that if they spend money, the things will belong to them..."

Sun Wencheng drank the tea in the cup, looked into the distance thoughtfully, and murmured.

"You know... war is very expensive..."

Outside the window.

Dark clouds rolled, and heavy rain was coming.
