I'm the one running the game

Chapter 978 How come a good town was taken over by the Sky Demon?

"Me? Transferred?" Lu Xingshi looked at the official letter with a strange expression.

He had been in this small mountain village for about three years, watching the changes of the empire through newspapers and news every day.

With his background, theoretically, he would probably stay like this for the rest of his life. At most, he would be given a salary based on his working age, but he would not be able to move to a new position.

As a result, he found out today that he was promoted to a higher level and moved to a township.

As for his replacement, it was a young man with a stinky face, and the other party was reluctant.

It was a pity that it was difficult to do what the Lord ordered. He did not come because he did not want to.

"Yes, it is you." The replacement's tone was unhappy. Everyone knew that if you came to such a small place without connections and luck, you would basically die here.

He came here because he offended people, and Lu Xingshi was transferred because of luck.

"Then let's hand it over." Lu Xingshi took the official letter, put it in his arms, and then gave all his documents over the years to the other party.

"That's all. I'll make a list for you. Please check it." Lu Xingshi said, and he had finished it.

There was no work to begin with. The biggest activity every day was drinking tea and reading newspapers.

So it was hard to get these documents.

The other party didn't say anything, but signed his name after checking carefully.

Lu Xingshi took the things to the township.

"What a pity, how could I get promoted? I'm so lazy in politics." Lu Xingshi sighed.

I can only say that luck comes and can't be stopped.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea: "Why is luck working again?"

In the past three years, the good luck at the beginning was the same as it was not.

Now it suddenly jumped for him, and he suspected that something had happened again.

Just thinking about it, he found something wrong.

There was an air demon lying in ambush five kilometers away.

Looking more carefully, this road is a mountain road. It is not the only way out of the village, but it is the only way to the township where Lu Xingshi is appointed. Because the distance is far, not many people take it.

He doesn't believe that it is not an ambush for him.

"Good fortune and bad fortune are interdependent, right..." Lu Xingshi complained. Now it seems that this transfer has a lot of luck.

It is estimated that they plan to kill Lu Xingshi, then replace his identity in the township, and then use this identity to climb up and lurk in the human empire.

This kind of thing is not uncommon.

It's just that the success rate is relatively low.

Even if a grassroots staff like Lu Xingshi is replaced, he is still a material for cattle and horses. Climbing up requires not only connections and resources, but also identity and status.

Replacing those people with good status? That's even more nonsense. This kind of people have a wide range of social circles and acquaintances everywhere. I'm afraid they will be exposed in a few days.

On the contrary, people like Lu Xingshi are the most suitable. It doesn't matter if it's difficult at the beginning. After the replacement is successful, the organization behind the Sky Demon will help and provide resources for climbing up.

Although it is unlikely to become a high-level human, as long as it becomes a middle-level, it will be of great help to the Sky Demon Resistance.

If it were the Sky Demon Empire at the time, the success rate would only be lower, but now the Human Empire is stronger, and there are more places that were originally missing.

Not many people will pay attention to a small area.

Lu Xingshi thought of this and went around in a circle, not planning to face this Sky Demon face to face.

If you can reduce trouble, reduce trouble. Why bother to meet the other party.

You may have to face the investigation afterwards. Isn't it easier to pretend that you don't know?

After he consciously avoided it, this trouble naturally didn't happen.

Then he entered the town very smoothly, but he was numb.

He couldn't help but twitch his eyes. Is this really not the Sky Demon's lair?

About three out of ten people in the town are disguised as Sky Demons.

The people who manage the rights of the townships, except for those who work at the grassroots level, the middle and high-level people have also been completely replaced by the sky demons.

It is not a big problem to say that this is the headquarters of the sky demon resistance army.

He was received by a township staff member with a chubby face, and under the skin was a ferocious sky demon.

It must be said that since the fall of the sky demon empire, the achievements of the sky demons in concealment have improved so fast.

Most of the magicians cannot distinguish this kind of disguise. If you want to see through it, you must have a master-level title at least.

However, how could a magician who can reach the master level come to such a remote place, let alone inexplicably investigate these ordinary people.

As long as the sky demon does not reveal his feet or is betrayed by his own people, there is basically no possibility of exposure.

After arranging matters such as Lu Xingshi's entry and accommodation, 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, so he naturally had to report it.

"Report, or not report..." Lu Xingshi muttered.

If the report is successful, there is a high probability that he will be arrested immediately, but there is also a high probability that Lu Xingshi will be exposed and then killed.

And even if the report is successful, the next days will probably not be so easy.

If he does not report, the next development is very clear, and the other party may not let him go.

But the greater possibility is that Lu Xingshi will become a marginal person and sit on the bench.

After thinking about it, he directly called the reporting hotline.

"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 really 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."

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 want him to be exiled 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 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 accident 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.
