I'm the one running the game

"Oh, I didn't expect you, who looks so shabby, to be the descendant of a duke." Lu Xingshi looked at the man up and down.

The other party honestly told his situation.

His name is Zhen Yu, and he used to be... The plot is too long, Lu Xingshi is a little reluctant to summarize, probably a strong man version of Jia Baoyu, and the timeline is fifteen years after the Jia family was confiscated.

This Zhen Yu is not Jia Baoyu either. He did not pass the imperial examination. He just came out of the cell some time ago. The reason is that he came out when the previous emperor died suddenly and the whole country was amnesty.

Lu Xingshi can understand that the new emperor ascended the throne and amnesty was granted, but he is a little confused about why the previous emperor also granted amnesty after his death.

In addition to this point, Lu Xingshi is even more confused about how you, a person who has been in prison for fifteen years, can have such a sturdy body.

He has heard a little about the food in prison, which is basically equivalent to not starving to death.

More importantly, being imprisoned is not just imprisonment. Prisoners need to work, so in this fifteen-year sentence, very few people can come out alive.

This is a feudal dynasty, not a modern society. There is only darkness that cannot be imagined, but there is no darkness that cannot be done.

"Master, what was that voice just now..." Zhen Yu did not want to talk to Lu Xingshi about his appearance. He was more concerned about why he heard that voice.

"Based on my experience over the years, you are very likely to have encountered a ghost."

"Why not do this, you feed the ghost with your body, and I will help you to transcend later." Lu Xingshi made a very constructive suggestion.

After hearing this, Zhen Yu felt that he should not stay here, and it was the right thing to run away.

Is this what a normal person can say?

"Master is really funny. I have something to do. You can live in my old house at will." Zhen Yu planned to run away.

After saying this, he just turned around and found that the surrounding ruins were being covered by prosperity.

Lu Xingshi stood beside him, watching this scene silently.

Karma began to exert its strength, just like the lovebirds at the beginning, but the limitations of this karma seemed a bit large, and it was not like the lovebirds that could cover the entire city.

This karma is only one street at most.

He is naturally not in the capital, and is not even in the net of heaven and earth.

If he wants to become stronger, he must not be in such a treacherous capital.

Although the karma is strange, it is still much simpler than the capital.

In addition, the originally abandoned mansions and gardens are also recovering little by little, and have become another scene.

"Yingguogong Mansion, your family has recovered, why don't you use your identity to go back and call for help." Lu Xingshi teased.

However, Zhen Yu had no such idea at all, and was trembling with fear.

He is not a fool. His own Yingguogong has long been gone. He was able to survive because he gave up this duke and was demoted to a commoner to survive.

Just as Lu Xingshi imagined, the family was confiscated and the family was exterminated.

In the huge Yingguogong Mansion, there was only him.

"Brother Guogong is back, what are you doing standing at the door." A charming voice came.

At some point, a woman stood at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

"Sister Rong, I..." Zhen Yu was about to walk over in a daze, but was grabbed by Lu Xingshi's collar.

After being pulled, he came back to his senses. It was not his sister Rong, but a big fox with human-like body, wearing human clothes.

If you put aside the fox appearance, the figure is indeed exquisite.

Fu Ruikong was ecstatic!

Lu Xingshi saw through the other party's true situation. This person was not a fox demon or a fox spirit, but a form of karma. Similar to a label.

"Dao... Taoist..."

"Sister Rong hanged herself fifteen years ago." Zhen Yu said stumblingly.

"Oh." Lu Xingshi answered coldly. He didn't care how the other party died. Obviously, the karma of this street in Yingguofu had little to do with the death of this group of people.

The overall karma gave him the feeling of a large gathering place, and it was still evolving in real time.

The karma was not one or two people, but the entire existence called Yingguofu.

Judging from the tone of the fox, the Yingguo Mansion was not confiscated and the family was not exterminated. Zhen Yu successfully took over the title and became the Duke of Ying.

Moreover, Zhen Yu was the protagonist, and Lü Xingshi was an outsider. The fox seemed to have not seen Lü Xingshi, but came over to greet Zhen Yu and was about to enter the mansion.

"Brother Duke is really interesting. What are you talking to the air?" The fox took Zhen Yu to enter the Yingguo Mansion.

"Master, Master, save me!!!" Zhen Yu cried. He did not realize that everything was against him. He just thought that Lü Xingshi used magic to make these demons and monsters invisible to him.

"Don't be afraid, I will go in with you." Lü Xingshi thought it was very interesting. It was like watching a costume TV series on the spot.

Zhen Yu was so depressed that he wanted to struggle, but he had no way to break free from the control of his sister Rong, the fox, and just entered the Yingguo Mansion.

"Actually, if you think about it, it's actually quite good to stay here."

Lu Xingshi suddenly spoke, which made Zhen Yu think that Lu Xingshi might have defected. Why would he, a healthy and living person, stay in a place full of monsters and demons?

"Look, here, you are the honorable Duke of Ying. As long as you ignore the fact that these monsters and demons look different from people, you can still live a rich and luxurious life as before."

"If you leave here, you will be just a commoner, and a commoner who has been in prison for fifteen years."

"From now on, you will have to eat bran and vegetables... No, eating bran and vegetables is a compliment to you. It is common to have hunger and fullness."

"Even if you are bullied while working and oppressed in life, why not stay here and enjoy it all." Lu Xingshi's words made Zhen Yu, who was struggling, stop.

This made sense. He was neither good at literature nor martial arts, and he had no family background, so his end would probably be what Lu Xingshi said.

As for the connections and favors in the past, let alone the fact that people left and tea was cold, fifteen years had passed, and they had long disappeared.

What's more, he was able to survive and get out of prison alive, which was actually due to the favors and connections in the past.

Now if he goes to them again, there will definitely be courtesy, but it will definitely not be as high as he wants.

He can't even see the host family, and he will only be received by people like managers.

At this moment, he wavered.

Just when he was wavering, the appearance of Sister Hu Rong, who had been bringing him into the mansion, also changed greatly. Originally, she was 30% human and 70% fox, but now the proportion was reversed, and only a part of her body had the fox mark.

Her appearance suddenly became more lively.

Zhen Yu was able to accept this change immediately after seeing it.

He was also a man with a quick mind, and he immediately understood one thing, that is, the less he rejected this ‘Yingguo Mansion’ and the more he actively accepted it, the more it would look like Yingguo Mansion.

However, in Lu Xingshi’s eyes, this was not a question of rejection or acceptance at all, but Zhen Yu took the initiative to enter the depths of this karma, so he saw what he wanted to see.

Although this was induced by him, it was mainly his own choice. He believed a stranger’s words because it was good for him, not because he was really bewitched by Lu Xingshi.

Just now, Lu Xingshi said that he would let Zhen Yu die and then save the other party, so why didn’t he believe it?

"What the Taoist said makes sense, but what should I do next?" Zhen Yu planned to stay in this 'Yingguogong Mansion'.

Even if he died, it would be better than being tortured on the streets.

"Of course, be yourself."

"But not the current you, but the you who did not have your family confiscated and successfully inherited the title and became the Yingguogong."

"To put it simply, it's eating, drinking and having fun. You should know how to do these." Lu Xingshi continued to give him bad advice.

After hearing this, Zhen Yu couldn't help but tremble, and a familiar feeling was recovering.

Fifteen years in prison made him forget a lot, and now he is starting to recover little by little.

Let him take the imperial examination, he may not be able to do it, but let him eat, drink, have fun, recite poems, play chess, etc., then he can do it more than ever.

As this idea deepened, the ratio of human to fox also changed from 73 to 91, and only a small part had not completely disappeared.

At the same time, the entire Yingguogong Mansion and the entire street became more and more lively.

It was getting closer and closer to the original appearance. Lu Xingshi could even hear the hawking and the flow of people on the street.

Before entering the Yingguogong Mansion, there was no one on the street.

At the same time, servants, slaves, stewards and other personnel appeared in the Yingguogong Mansion, which made the whole mansion have a fresh breath, no longer as dead as before.

Then, a group of beautiful women came, making Zhen Yu feel confused about reality and falsehood.

Reality is extremely cruel, and now falsehood seems to be replacing the reality in his memory bit by bit.

"Dao... Taoist..." Zhen Yu struggled out, his face flushed, and asked immediately: "If I stay here, what will happen?"

"Of course, I will enjoy a rich life and be a noble duke." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.

This made Zhen Yu more and more excited.

"But, do you believe it yourself?" Lu Xingshi suddenly said this.

"I...I..." Zhen Yu came to ask Lu Xingshi this question, not to get the truth from Lu Xingshi, but to get his resonance and affirmation to deepen his determination.

"Of course I believe it!" Zhen Yu said with gritted teeth.

He was very dissatisfied with Lu Xingshi's answer, and this was not the answer he needed.

"Yes, then why are you asking me? Why don't you just enjoy your life? Why ask me?" Lu Xingshi still kept smiling.

At this point, he could be sure that Zhen Yu was the object of the karma of the Yingguogong Mansion, and was also a part of this karma. Only his arrival and recognition could make the entire Yingguogong Mansion come alive.

Without him, this place would just be a desolate ruin, not the weird karma it is now.
