No one notified me in advance. Everyone in the end times is crazy.

Chapter 368 The Hero Becomes a Sinner

Tian Changliu's fingers kept tapping the armrest of the chair and said, "Are you sure? Jiang Bei is dead?"

Lin Ming said respectfully, "Yes, I saw her fall down with the demon god with my own eyes."

"You're wrong."

"I will never be wrong!"

Tian Changliu lowered his voice and repeated, "You're wrong."

Lin Ming felt a chill on his back and changed his words, "I was mistaken. Your Highness, please explain."

Tian Changliu raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly, "The fox demon Jiangbei defected to the Demon God and plotted to encircle and suppress his companions. Fang Qiu accidentally died, but fortunately General He persevered to the end, fought a desperate battle with the Demon God, and won. So, let's continue."

"Yes."

The rumors are getting more and more intense and more ridiculous.

"General Crane fought the demon for three days and three nights before he brought us peace."

"General He easily crushed the demon with just one finger. He's like the reincarnation of the God of War!"

"Turn around, and General He will kill the demon god with just a pee."

As Luo Shiyu listened to these rumors, he felt powerless, as if he couldn't even reach into the illusion.

What made him even more angry was that people built a statue of Jiang Bei and made him kneel in the sun to repent every day.

People spat on him, slapped him, threw eggs at him, and some even urinated on him.

The curses against him ranged from eighty-year-old elders to three-year-old children, and even turned into nursery rhymes.

Luo Shiyu watched all this and said what Luo Yu had said at that time: "The cuckoo has occupied the magpie's nest, tampered with history, and the hero has become a sinner..."

Before he could finish his words, the masked man who was still guarding the cliff began to radiate the power of faith.

The golden light of blessing disappeared, and he became the god of war in people's eyes.

Luo Shiyu sneered and said the second half of his sentence: "The guy who took the blame has become a god that people believe in."

The masked man looked at the changes in his body, completely unaware of what was happening.

He wanted to find someone to ask clearly, and when he returned, he received faith and praise for no reason.

These things were beyond his comprehension.

He found Tian Changliu and asked him what Lin Ming meant by what he said at that time, and about the divine seal that inexplicably appeared on his body.

Tian Changliu just congratulated him, said he had worked hard, and let him go back and rest.

"But…"

"No buts, you will listen to me, right?"

The masked man hesitated for a second before finally answering, "Yes."

"You're tired. Just rest in your room for the next three months. I'll give you a surprise once I've taken care of everything."

"My subordinates are not tired."

"This is an order."

"Got it." The masked man agreed and left.

Tian Changliu looked at his back and whispered, "I'm sorry, please wait for me, it will be soon, and we will be together forever."

The masked man returned to the room and sat in a chair in a daze, not knowing what to do.

He has no hobbies and doesn't even know what a hobby is.

Whenever he was daydreaming, there would always be someone tapping his shoulder with a fan and chattering non-stop.

"Oh my~ Why are you daydreaming again? The more I look at you, the more you look like a piece of wood."

"Actually, sometimes I really envy you. This is a change of pace, right? Haha! Just kidding!"

"I...actually, I'm afraid too. Afraid of pain, afraid of death, afraid...that those close to me will forget me."

The masked man suddenly woke up from his dream and looked at the time. It was only the second watch.

For the first time, he disobeyed Tian Changliu's order, sneaked to the tavern, bought the plum wine that Jiangnan loved to drink, and went to the cliff again.

As he was about to get closer, he saw a familiar figure and subconsciously hid.

Tian Changliu sat on the edge of the cliff, looking at the bottomless abyss, muttering to himself: "Jiangbei, you must be blaming me."

"Blame me for my bad intentions, blame me for burning bridges, blame me for spreading rumors and ruining your reputation, blame me..."

"You know what? I once truly considered you a friend. And you, why did you want to compete with me for the person I love? You knew I liked him, so why did you get so close to him?"

"Your death is your own fault. It's not my fault. It's not my fault!"

Tian Changliu kept muttering, "It's not my fault," and stumbled away, obviously drunk.

After he walked away, the masked man came out from the shadows.

He just had an incomplete soul, but he was not a fool. Combining all the factors, he was able to make a general deduction.

"It's me who hurt you."

These were the last words spoken by the masked man.

He sat quietly beside the cliff, without touching the wine jug in his hand, and no one knew what he was thinking.

What dyed the earth red before the sun was the gushing blood.

He committed suicide at sunrise.

Tian Changliu learned of the masked man's death and was so sad that he fell ill in bed.

He didn't understand why he lost miserably when he had calculated every step he took.

He began to send people to look for Jiang Bei's whereabouts, determined to find him alive or dead.

Tian Changliu could only pray that he was still alive, as only he could turn everything around.

In addition to Tian Changliu, a deer and a cat are also looking for Jiangnan.

If it weren't for the fact that Jiangnan's photo was still lit in the tower, and if he hadn't been born yet, even Luo Shiyu would have doubted whether Jiangnan was really dead.

Twenty years later…

Inside the cave where the flute sound came from, there was a transparent tumor that looked like a heart.

Lie Danqing put down the flute in his hand and looked at Jiangnan who was sleeping in it.

"How long are you going to sleep? Those guys are going crazy looking for you."

His gaze turned to the pile of bones at the entrance of the cave.

"Luckily, I'm here. Otherwise, I don't know how many troublemakers would disturb your sweet dreams."

Five years passed quickly.

The beating "heart" slowly cracked like an eggshell, and Jiangnan woke up from his slumber.

"Oh! Sleeping Beauty finally woke up?"

Jiangnan shook his still dizzy head and asked, "Where is this?"

"In the cave at the bottom of the canyon."

"You saved me?"

"I don't have that ability. I just found you. You don't know how deep this cave is. It's filled with demonic energy. Even if you don't fall into demons, there are still man-eating thorn bushes. There's no way to survive."

"Then how did you get in?"

Liedan Qing said casually, "I guess I'm the chosen one! The thorns made way for me, and the evil spirits didn't come near me. I just walked in so openly."

"I fell down too, but I didn't die. Could it be that the falling fish protected me?"

"Who is Luoyu? My love rival?"

"Demon."

"Dead? That's fine."

Jiangnan glared at him, and Lie Danqing immediately changed his tone and said, "That's a demon god, how could he possibly save people? Don't think too much."

"But... there's no madness in his eyes. Instead, he looks like a child begging for praise. Especially when fighting him, his eyes are filled with longing."

"It's like saying, praise me, please praise me more."
