Comprehensive comics: I loaded the dream game

After the funeral, Xia Solstice and the others left the village.

After all, there are no tasks to be done, and there is no longer a welcome among the residents, so there is no point in staying there any longer.

After dark, the group found a lake and temporarily camped nearby.

I caught a few fish in the lake and a rabbit in the woods, and I had dinner like this.

As the night wore on, the drowsiness gradually hit my heart.

The flames in the campfire danced and shook restlessly, and the light of the fire reflected the two sleeping figures lying beside them.

Looking at Kirisu Mato, who was already asleep, and Ai Luke, who was held in her arms like a pillow, Xia Zhi was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should sleep tonight.

He shook his head, put the question aside for a moment, and looked up at the figure sitting by the lake not far away.

Under the moonlight, the sparkling surface of the lake reflects the shadow of the moon and the starry sky. A small pebble was thrown into the lake, rippling a little bit, gently stirring the stars and moon in the sky.

Lilia sat by the lake, staring at the ripples that spread out in the circle, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Still thinking about the morning?" Xia Solstice came to her and sat down, followed her example, found a few small pebbles, and threw them into the lake one by one, watching with great interest the picture of the originally calm water being broken.

Lilia shook her head, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Master, what are the villagers...... What will happen in the future?".

"I guess I'll move out of that village and find a new place to live. Xia Zhi replied.

Even if they didn't need his reminder, the Fallen Ghost Clan in that village must have understood what the arrival of the Zanguang Church meant. Their whereabouts have been completely exposed to the eyes of humans, and if they don't want to happen again what happened last night, they can only abandon their original place of residence and find a safe place to hide.

"Is that all right?" Lilia asked.

"How could it be. Xia Zhi shook his head and said: "It's not a small village of dozens of people, the movement and traces of thousands of people can't be hidden, unless they are willing to break it into pieces and no longer obsessed with reporting to the group for warmth, otherwise one day, their new place of residence will still be found." "

Moreover, the Zanguang Church has lost three quasi-brave people this time, how can it be easy to let this matter pass like this.

Xia Solstice thought to herself.

“...... Is there no way to save them?" asked Lilia, a little reluctantly.

"Unless you can upend the entire empire, or stay and protect them for the rest of your life. Xia Zhi threw a stone into the lake again and said.

"But you can't do the former, the latter...... Whether you want to or not, even if you really want to do it, you can only protect them for the rest of your life. When you die, they'll face the same problems as they do now. "

“...... Is there no way to reconcile?" Lilia asked.

"No, I don't. Xia Solstice replied.

At the root, this is a "mistake" left by the star gods.

They had long anticipated a future in which the excessive growth of human beings might break through the boundaries of the curse, so they created many non-human races that were more powerful than humans in every way, hoping to reduce the number of human beings in this way.

But what they didn't expect was that in the long process of survival and fighting, human beings gradually explored the technology of "being weak but able to fight the strong", and honed it to the extreme, gaining the ability to fight against those powerful non-human races.

And after the emergence of the "Holy Sword" and the creation and development of the salvation system of the "Brave", human beings have completely stood at the top of the world, and no race can threaten their survival.

As a result, humanity began to expand, which eventually led to the current situation.

"Really...... Is there no way around it?" Lilia couldn't help but ask again.

“...... Actually, there are still some of them. Xia Zhi replied after thinking about it.

"Huh?" The girl, who was originally hopeless, was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

"As long as you become the source of all problems and evil, it will be fine. Xia Zhi continued.

“...... What a solution. Lilia didn't know what to complain about.

"You see, isn't there such a setting in many stage plays? Something called the Demon King. "

Xia Zhi threw aside the stone in his hand, patted the dust on his hand, turned his head to look at the girl and said.

"Demon King?" Lilia tilted her head, "Is it something like a tyrant, or an evil king?"

"It's not enough to be evil, it has to be very, very, very evil. Xia Zhi said in an emphatic tone: "It must be so evil that everyone thinks that 'this guy's death is a blessing for the whole world'." "

"Because he is so evil, it is natural for people to think that he is responsible for all the misfortunes in the world. Even if he knows that the matter has nothing to do with him, it doesn't matter if he throws problems and contradictions on his head in order to shirk responsibility or find excuses, and no one will defend him. "

"From then on, there was an excuse for everything. This year's harvest is not good, and the demon king is to blame for burning the fields and invading the city all day long. Prices are rising, and the Demon King is to blame for attacking the caravan, resulting in a shortage of supplies. The fiscal deficit can be blamed on the head of the demon king. If you lose the battle, you can also blame the demon king. "

"There will be fewer conflicts between nations, and there will be less tension between races, because everyone agrees that the Demon King is the culprit of all evils, and that if everyone wants to be happy, they must first unite and destroy him. "

"And the wicked of the wicked, the demon king who can't die until he doesn't die, will eventually bear all the sins, all the filth and leave the story, and become the ultimate sacrifice for a better world. "

Xia Zhi clapped his hands and said, "Look, in this way, won't the world be beautiful again?"

"......" Lilia was speechless.

It sounded reasonable, but she instinctively felt that it was wrong.

And ......

"Such wicked people can only exist in fantasies and fairy tales. She complained: "How can such an existence exist in reality." "

"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing?" Xia Zhi smiled noncommittally.

"Besides......" he said, standing up and throwing the last stone in his hand into the lake

"Aren't the current human beings trying to create such a demon king?"

For human beings, if you don't die, you can't do it, and there is one here.

Xia Solstice turned his head and looked at the girl who was curled up and sleeping in Kirisu Mato's arms by the fire not far away, and thought to herself.
