Chapter 978: How could such a good town be occupied by the Sky Demon?
"Me? Transferred?" Lu Xingshi looked at the written official letter with a strange expression on his face.
He stayed in this small mountain village for about three years, watching the empire change day by day through newspapers and news.
Based on his status and background, theoretically speaking, he is expected to stay like this for the rest of his life. At most, he will be remunerated based on his working age, but don't even think about moving his position.
As a result, today I found that I was promoted one level up and entered the township.
As for his replacement, it was a young man with a foul-smelling face who was full of reluctance.
It's a pity that fate is difficult, it doesn't mean he won't come if he doesn't want to come.
"Yes, that's you." The substitute said with an unhappy tone. Everyone knew that if you didn't have connections and luck in a small place like this, you would basically die here.
He came here because he offended him, while Lu Xingshi was transferred out because of good luck.
"Then let's hand it over." Lu Xingshi took the official letter, held it in his arms, and then gave the other party all his documents over the years.
"That's all, I'll make a list for you, you check it." Lu Xingshi said, and he had already finished.
I didn’t have much work to begin with, and my biggest activity every day was drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
So having this little document is hard-won.
The other party didn't say anything, but after checking carefully, he signed his name.
Lu Xingshi took his things to the towns.
"It's a pity. Why did I get promoted? I'm obviously so lazy in politics." Lu Xingshi sighed.
It can only be said that luck is coming and cannot be stopped.
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought: "Why does luck take effect again?"
In the past three years, my good luck has never been the same.
Now that it jumped for him suddenly, he suspected that something had happened again.
Just as I was thinking about it, I noticed something was wrong.
There is an ambush of a sky demon five kilometers away.
Taking a closer look, this road is a mountain road, not the only way out of the village, but it is the only way to go to the township where Lu Xingshi works. Because the distance is relatively far, not many people walk it.
He didn't believe it if he said it wasn't someone who ambush him.
"Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, right..." Lu Xingshi complained. Now it seems that there is a problem with luck in this transfer.
He probably planned to kill Lu Xingshi, then take his identity and go to the village, and then use this identity to climb up and infiltrate the human empire.
This happens all the time.
It's just that the success rate is relatively low.
Even if grassroots personnel like Lu Xingshi were replaced, they would still be used as fodder. Climbing up requires not only connections and resources, but also identity and status.
Replace those with good status? That would be even more nonsense. This kind of people have a wide social circle and have acquaintances everywhere. They may be exposed in just three or two days.
On the contrary, people like Lu Xingshi are the most suitable. It doesn't matter if the start is difficult. After the replacement is successful, the organization behind Sky Demon will contribute and provide resources to climb up.
Although it is impossible to become a high-level human being, as long as you become a middle-level person, it will be of great help to the Sky Demon Resistance Army.
If it were replaced by the original Sky Demon Empire, the success rate would be even lower. However, now that the Human Empire is more powerful, there are even more gaps.
If a small area is rotten, not many people will pay attention to it.
Lu Xingshi thought of this and went around in a circle, not intending to face the sky demon.
If you can reduce trouble, reduce trouble. Why bother to meet the other party face to face?
You might have to face scrutiny afterwards, so it would be easier to just pretend you don't know.
After he consciously avoided it, he would naturally avoid this trouble.
Then he entered the township very smoothly, but everyone else became numb.
He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes. Are you sure this isn't the lair of the Sky Demon?
About three out of ten people in the township are Kong Demons in disguise.
In addition to those who work at the grassroots level, the people who manage the rights of townships and middle and high-level people have also been completely replaced by empty demons.
Saying that this is the headquarters of the Sky Demon Resistance Army is not a big problem.
The person who received him was a staff member from the township. He had a chubby face, but beneath his skin was a ferocious sky demon.
It has to be said that since the fall of the Sky Demon Empire, the Sky Demon's stealth achievements have improved tremendously.
Most magisters can't tell the difference in this kind of disguise. If you want to see through it, you need at least a master-level title.
However, how could a master-level magister come to such a remote place, let alone conduct inexplicable investigations on these ordinary people.
As long as Kong Mo doesn't expose himself or is betrayed by one of his own people, there is basically no possibility of being exposed.
After arranging Lu Xingshi's employment, accommodation and other matters, the other party left in a hurry.
Obviously the other party realized that Lu Xingshi was not replaced by the Sky Demon, but the original human being, so he naturally had to report it to the superiors.
"Report it, or not report it..." Lu Xingshi muttered.
If the report is successful, there is a high probability that he will be directly punished, but there is also a high probability that Lu Xingshi will be exposed and then go on a killing spree. And even if the report is successful, the days that follow may not be so easy.
If he doesn't report it, the next development will be obvious, and the other party will probably not let him go.
But the greater possibility is that Lu Xingshi will become a marginalized person and sit on the bench.
After thinking about it, I called the reporting hotline directly.
"Hello, I want to report..." Lu Xingshi briefly explained the situation.
"I have recorded your feedback, and someone will go to investigate."
"Because you reported too many sky demons, I need you to keep them for a while..."
Before the other person finished speaking, Lu Xingshi hung up the communication magic device.
How could he not know what he left behind? It was nothing more than his identity and name, so that he could cooperate with the investigation when the time comes.
But Lu Xingshi planned to report anonymously, so how could he actually let the other party stay?
With the current penetration situation, who knows what the situation will be.
As for him not taking any action after reporting it, that doesn't matter. If he can disguise himself as a human being, then he can also disguise himself as a human being disguised as an empty demon.
It's not like he doesn't know how to make matryoshka dolls.
"Xiao Lu, you have been guarding Yao Village for so many years, so you don't feel comfortable in the town."
Not long after, the sky demon who arranged for him turned back again, apparently having finished his report.
"I'm really not used to it, so let me go back again?" Lu Xingshi said slightly dissatisfied.
"Look at what you said. You didn't make any mistakes. How can you be demoted? It's just that you may need to be transferred." The other party said helplessly: "You were originally in charge of security, Yaocun Xiao, you are a junior magician. That's enough."
"But our town is big. It would be easier if you had the title of Intermediate Magister."
After hearing this, Lu Xingshi smiled: "Then where will I be transferred?"
"Go to the mountain lake in the north to guard the pond, take care of the environment and ensure the safety of personnel." The other party said decisively.
"..." Lu Xingshi was speechless. What you said was too straightforward. Besides, he had just arrived. It was too outrageous to ask him to see the pond when he came up.
"What about food, clothing, housing and transportation?" Lu Xingshi naturally didn't care and asked directly.
"Someone will send it to you, but you may need to do it yourself. After all, it is a little far away from our town, and it is impossible to equip you with a canteen." The other party answered directly.
Now it seems that this group of sky demons do not intend to let Lu Xingshi become one of them, but to exile him to the edge.
This is a good thing for Lu Xingshi.
"Okay, okay, but what about my treatment..." Lu Xing said in a sophisticated way.
"The mayor said, I'll give you another level up!" Anyway, it's the finances of the Human Empire, so the Sky Demon is naturally very generous.
Just don't go too far, otherwise it will easily attract scrutiny from your superiors.
"That's good, I'll pack up and leave right away." After Lu Xingshi finished speaking, he complained again: "If I had known that I would have to transfer posts, I wouldn't have stopped packing up just now."
The sky demon couldn't help but smile sadly. He didn't expect that Lu Xingshi could escape, and he didn't know which path he took, and he could reach the town alive.
After a lot of trouble, Kong Mo sent Lu Xingshi to the mountain lake outside the town to guard the pond.
…
"We just received a tip-off and our location was almost exposed. If we hadn't been intercepted, it would have been terrible this time." A cold light flashed in the mayor's eyes, and his tone was full of murderous intent.
All the sky demons were also surprised: "Who is it? Do you have anything to say?"
The news has been suppressed, but this does not mean that the matter has been solved. There are already humans in the town who know the truth. If it is not solved, there will be another time.
"I don't know. There is no suspicion at the moment, so further investigation is needed." The mayor naturally didn't know, and the other party did not reveal his identity.
"How about tracking and locating the transmission location?" Youkong Mo asked.
"The town has shielding measures, so we only know that the call was made from the town, but we can't locate it specifically." The mayor was also helpless about this.
This was originally a measure to protect them, but by mistake it became a protective umbrella for whistleblowers.
All the air demons present were silent. It was really a trivial matter to investigate one by one.
The town is indeed secretly occupied by their sky demons, but in terms of numbers, the number of humans far exceeds theirs.
Naturally, the Sky Demon's stronghold is not just here, but has been dispersed many times to avoid being caught by humans and being completely destroyed.
"Then let's investigate. Use the excuse of census to narrow down the scope first." A sky demon made a suggestion.
If it involves their own life safety, no matter how troublesome it is, they have to do it. Otherwise, if the other party reports it again, their lives will be at risk.
"Pay more attention to people who look wrong and find them out as soon as possible." The mayor agreed to the proposal without hesitation.
It doesn't matter what the excuse is, the comprehensive investigation is the reason why he agreed.
"Let's break up." After saying that, the mayor left directly. He needed to arrange funeral arrangements. Now that he was exposed, who knew whether a human magister would suddenly come over and level the entire town.
