Chapter 2300 The Devil King Attacks
The piper of Hamelin.
This is a well-known fairy tale about a rat plague in a small German town, and then a clown playing the flute came and said that he could expel the rat plague, but he needed a payment. The residents of the small town expressed that as long as he can drive away the mice, they will give him a generous reward.
So the clown played the flute and drove all the mice into the river to drown. This made the residents very happy, but when the clown asked for a reward, the residents expressed their unwillingness to pay.
So the clown left the small town silently, and that night, the sound of the flute sounded again in the small town. After hearing the sound of the flute, the children in the city ran out of bed one after another, followed the clown, and disappeared into the night. Did not come back either.
Of course, purely from the story itself, there is actually nothing to say... There are many similar stories in Chinese myths and legends. The other party turned his face and refused to recognize him, so the Taoist left, and then the family also got retribution after that, or they had no children, many illnesses and many disasters, and finally the whole family was ruined... basically it was a routine.
There are more stories like this in Liaozhai, like a scholar who went to Beijing to rush for an exam and met a monster on the way. The monster said that I can help you, but you have to burn incense and worship for me afterward. Mi Xia forgot the original promise to the monster, and then was swallowed by a big fish suddenly jumping out of the lake on the way of a flower boat tour one day...
It's all basic operations, nothing to worry about.
But for other girls, this is not the case. They all still remember that the community of the sleeping elf in Asuka's hand is also a "rat catcher". Could it be that... this elf Is he also a member of the Demon King?
"Oh, not necessarily."
Facing the worried questions from the girls, Fangzheng only glanced at the elf in Asuka's hand, and gave an answer.
"You should know that this world is the core of multiple intersections of countless parallel worlds, so even if they are all 'rat catchers', it does not mean that they are all the same person. After all, the fairy tales in each world have different origins and interpretations. The results will naturally be different. For example, Snow White, you must have heard this fairy tale, but even if the content is the same, it does not mean that the truth of each world is the same.”
"What does it mean?"
Hearing this, Maple asked curiously, while Shokuhou Misaki explained from the side.
"It's very simple. Although from the story itself, Snow White is just a poor child who was bullied by her stepmother and even tried to kill her. But there is another theory, that is, Snow White is actually a cunning woman. Her mother is In order to protect this country, I want to destroy her. The reason is the ending of the queen. Anyway, it is impossible for an innocent girl to torture someone who was her mother. There is also a saying that it is Snow White. In fact, she had an ulterior relationship with her father, which was discovered by the queen, and she was dismantled and exiled to the forest... In addition, there are also princes who actually like corpses, and like to abuse The Snow White pretty much matches the saying…”
"Why does it feel that the story of Snow White is getting different from what I imagined..."
Hearing this, Sally also wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, feeling that her childhood had been humanely destroyed.
"All in all, if it is only in one world, then even if 'Snow White' is summoned, it may only be the one in the fairy tale in the public perception, but in this place where multiple parallel worlds intersect, even if they are all 'Snow White' There may be a variety of different individuals, such as a good boy who is bullied by his stepmother, a sadist with a dark heart, and a daughter with a love affair with her father..."
Fangzheng shrugged.
"So even if they are all 'rat catchers', it doesn't mean that this little guy must be the 'rat catcher' under the command of the devil, because even the 'piper of Hamelin' has multiple versions, Some people say that the ending is that the clown killed all the children in that city, and some people say that the clown took them away to protect the innocent and kind children from the selfish parents of that city. Different interpretations bring different endings Unlike my opinion, I didn't feel any negative energy from this elf, so it is unlikely that she will be a member of the Demon King."
"That's right... that's good."
Hearing this, Asuka and the girls all heaved a sigh of relief. After all, they all liked this innocent little elf very much. If she was the devil's minion, they really didn't know what to do. All right.
After letting go of their hearts, the girls also went to rest one after another. As for the attack of the devil king, Fangzheng just reminded them to be careful. After all, even if the devil king really dared to come to die, he and Bai Yasha were there. The guys just need to protect themselves, and Fangzheng didn't expect them to really go against the devil.
Soon, the next day, the final moment.
As special guests, Fang Zheng and others sat on the rostrum, waiting for the next game to start. Under Bai Yasha's recommendation, Black Rabbit took the stage as a referee as the "Moon Rabbit Clan".
The only pity is that Shiroyasha originally wanted Kuroto to wear a transparent lace bra, while Fang Zheng said he would wear Bruma...but Heitu firmly opposed it, even if the two were bidding at an auction Ten times the price they raised each other failed to make Heitu nod.
What a pity.
I knew I shouldn't have given Heitu so much money, hey, once this person has money, he will lose face...
The first match was Kasukabe Yō's match against Aisha Ignifatus of "Woman's Fire". The latter is a girl with twin ponytails, blue hair, and pale skin, who looks like a ghost... Well, it's a ghost at all!
But in a place like Hakoniwa World, it's not surprising that there is a ghost.
According to the rules of the finals, contestants can bring an assistant. Aisha brought a jack-o-lantern monster—— Jiuyuan Asuka was very excited about this pumpkin monster. He grabbed the companion next to him and screamed and jumped. It's like a toy.
However, Kasukabe Yō didn't take anyone with him, and just entered the game board space by himself and started the game.
"Mr. Fangzheng, do you think Yao can win?"
Asuka looked at Yao worriedly, and asked in a low voice. The game was hosted by Shiraiyasha. She sent the two of them into a complicated maze of tree holes. The rules of the game were that whoever finds the exit first to leave the tree hole, or beats one of them will win.
Although Kasukabe Yō has grown up and has considerable strength as a contestant, but the other party is a contestant from the upper-level community, it is only natural for Asuka to be worried about Yō.
"I see Xuan."
Facing Asuka's question, Fangzheng shook his head.
"Actually, if I had to say it, I'd rather she lose this match."
"Hey? Why!"
Listening to Fangzheng's words of surrendering to the enemy just now, Asuka was also stunned.
"Because it's not good for Yao's growth."
"………growing up?"
"She relied too much on herself instead of on her friends."
Speaking of this, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes. He and Kasukabe Yao have also been together for a while, and he has a certainty about this girl's inner thoughts.
Kasukabe Yao cherishes friends very much.
She also likes the friends she has made now and is willing to go through fire and water for them, but there is a problem.
That is, Yao does not want his friends to go through fire and water for him.
In fact, in this match, Fang Zheng wouldn't even say that when Fan Yao chose a partner.
Because of friends, as the saying goes? The so-called four big irons have carried guns together, passed through windows together, shared stolen goods together, and prostituted together.
Vulgar is a bit vulgar, but that's what it means.
Sharing weal and woe is true brotherhood.
But Yao Kasukabe would rather share joys than share hardships, and Fangzheng somewhat understood why she couldn't make friends in the original world.
She is willing to sacrifice for her friend, but she does not want her friend to sacrifice for her, but in this way there is no relationship of trust between the two parties. Without a relationship of trust, there is naturally no friendship at all.
But Yo obviously didn't understand this.
In fact, there are many people who are willing to help her. Asuka may not have this ability, and Shokuhou Misaki... can be ignored in terms of combat power, but Maple, Sally, and Kuroyukihime also play dungeons with her every day. Why? There is also friendship in battle, and if Yao invites them, they will definitely not refuse.
As a result, Yao would rather go up by himself than call someone.
That's pretty self-explanatory.
So Fang Zheng hoped that she would calm down and figure out her situation, instead of just being so reckless.
Fortunately, the ending was as Fang Zheng expected.
Facing Aisha and Pumpkin Jack who could manipulate will-o'-the-wisps, Yao was even unwilling to call out his own pet, and was finally slapped away by Pumpkin Jack, and then a wall of fire was built to surround him. And Yao didn't hesitate too much, and directly chose to surrender to end the game.
Although this disappointed the other girls, Fangzheng nodded in satisfaction. He could see that Yao had communicated with that pumpkin head a lot. Although he didn't know what the two said, at least for now, It shouldn't be a big problem—the next step is to see if Yao can break through his own obstacles.
"Hey, look, what is that?"
Just as Fangzheng was thinking, suddenly, the sound of flying birds came from beside her. She looked into the air in surprise and stretched out her hand. And Fangzheng also raised his head, followed Asuka's gaze, and then he saw countless black letters falling from the sky like snowflakes, falling towards the entire North District.
what is this? Hakoniwa's small advertisements are all so stylish?
Fangzheng took a black letter and opened the parchment inside. Then, a line of information appeared in front of Fangzheng.

【The Piper of Hamelin】
"........."
For a while, there was a dead silence all around, and I don't know how long it took before the screams broke out suddenly.
"The Demon King...the Demon King has appeared!!!"
Accompanied by the screams, a strange phenomenon emerged.
A circle of violent black wind suddenly erupted around Shiroyasha who was sitting on the rostrum, and it howled and spread around.
"Master Shiroyasha!!"
Seeing this scene, Sandora screamed hurriedly and tried to reach out to grab Shiraiyasha, but the next moment she screamed and was blown away. It's not just Sandora, in fact, except for Shiraiyasha, everyone else was pushed out of the rostrum by this strange gust of wind.
And Fangzheng also took advantage of the trend, grabbed Jiuyuan Asuka and Shokuhou Misaki, two physically incompetent guys, and put them on the ground.
"What's going on? Mr. Fangzheng?"
After landing on the ground, Asuka, who was still in shock, looked at Fangzheng in surprise, and then asked. Fangzheng narrowed his eyes, glanced at Shiraiyasha who was completely wrapped in the black wind and imprisoned in it, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Sure enough, as I expected, Shiraiyasha was imprisoned, so... leave the rest to me."
Having said this, Fangzheng turned his head and looked at the height of the boundary wall, and then he showed a smile.
"I want to see how powerful the so-called Demon King is!"
