On a construction site in galatingen.
A short man, wearing a hard hat and a dusty work clothes, was carrying two bags of cement on his shoulder and walking slowly towards the unloading point step by step.
Any person in the dark world here, I'm afraid, can't imagine that this dirty worker would be the former God - the demon shadow!
Yes, he is really a demon. After being "sealed" by Liu Heyue, he came to Latin America to make a living in several cities, and finally came to the construction site of galatingen to work as a coolie.
This job lasted more than half a year.
For more than half a year, the demon shadow has finally realized that it is not easy to be an ordinary person. He used to be privileged and superior, and he can't realize that, in fact, there are many people in the world, even if they are simply living, they have done their best.
The world is cold and warm, and the world is hot and cold. Now the demon shadow can be seen more and more clearly.
Liu Heyue is right. In fact, such a period of ordinary people's life is impossible for the demon shadow to imagine before. He has an extraordinary talent for force. He lives a human life most of the time, and the life at the bottom is very far away from him.
How could the previous demon figure think that a penny could be split into two parts to spend? He is more unlikely to know that he can fight with others in order to grab a sip of water.
Due to his size, after being closed by Liu Heyue's power circulation route, the demon shadow has no advantage in hand to hand combat, especially in the face of those opponents who are taller than himself, the end of the demon shadow is even very miserable, and he is often beaten black and blue.
For this situation, at the beginning, he was also full of hostility and killing intention, thinking that he would wait until the end of the year's power closure, and then fight back, and easily crush these guys who fought against him to death.
When fighting with others, the demon shadow didn't try to break through the "seal" planted by Liu Heyue in his body, but he never succeeded.
God knows what means the old woodcutter of cuisong mountain used to block his power flow route so accurately that the demon shadow can't even adjust the power in the collective, let alone try to break through those obstacles.
After countless attempts, the demon shadow failed once, and he even had no hope of his future recovery.
The once God level figure didn't think about going again * and asked the old woodcutter of cuisong mountain to help him remove this shackle of power. However, if it took less than a year, the demon shadow even felt that he had no face to go back at all.
After fighting and being beaten again and again, the demon shadow felt like a wild dog that used everything to make a living.
However, with more and more such cases, the demon shadow gradually "recognizes his life". Yes, this is the life of ordinary people. He has lost his strength, is no longer powerful, and is unable to change anything.
At this time, the demon finally realized that the truth of life was "helplessness" after uncovering many appearances.
Helpless, powerless, this is life.
Especially for middle-aged men, it is not easy.
You work hard, you work hard, and in the end, you find that you can't change anything, your dream is drifting away, and you can only be played and practiced by life over and over.
The demon shadow even began to "fill chicken soup" for himself, which is also a kind of spiritual self comfort.
However, although the demon shadow realized that life was helpless and powerless, and although he admitted his life, he did not abandon himself, and directly endured the year. On the contrary, after deeply feeling the real purpose of Liu Heyue, he began to live harder and feel the life of ordinary people more forcefully... No matter whether he can recover his strength in the future, he can't live like a real wild dog at this time, which is a stain on life.
For the demon shadow, this in itself is a very gratifying change.
Many middle-aged men who have been severely rubbed and crushed by life probably have forgotten their dreams and original intentions.
But the demon shadow, however, chose to assume the responsibility of a middle-aged man at this time of falling from the bottom of the valley.
He knows that he is not alone. He has a sister to support. That is a close relative who can awaken his soul.
Yes, Su Rui's angry rebuke in the Golden Triangle suddenly woke up the dreamer. At that time, the demon shadow knew that her sister demon spirit had paid so much for herself, and even did not hesitate to die in exchange for her own awakening.
My brother is really incompetent. He's damn it.
The demon spirit has borne so much for himself, and even his face is full of scars by his enemy. The demon shadow really doesn't know how to redeem his sins.
As long as his sister can erase those terrible experiences, the demon shadow is really willing to do anything.
However, time cannot go backwards.
Some painful past, no matter how expensive it is, cannot be replaced.
"The last day."
After placing two bags of heavy cement at the designated place, the demon looked up at the sky and said to himself. At this moment, he actually had a trance of unreality.
Yes, this year full of difficulties has come to an end. This is the 365th day.
The demon shadow tried to invoke the power circulation route according to the Convention, but it was still like a clay ox into the sea, without any reaction, even if he had used the maximum power he could use.
In the past, the power flow at your fingertips has become extremely luxurious, even out of reach.
The demon shadow not only lost its strength, but also lost its speed, and completely fell to the mortal world.
It was the last day, and the demon shadow suddenly felt that he might never be able to return to the super master he used to be. He had lost a lot of things in his life, and everything he had lost seemed impossible to come back.
"Tom, what are you staring at?" A supervisor came over, holding a whip in his hand, and slapped it on the back of the demon shadow impolitely.
Yes, the shadow at this time is called Tom, which he casually obtained for himself. It is simply more common than Poseidon's real name "John".
It's hard to be an ordinary person.
If according to the past strength of the demon shadow, let alone that the supervisor can whip him with a whip, when the other party's whip is raised, his hand will have broken the other party's neck.
Now, however, he can do nothing but silently get a whip.
This is a middle-aged man.
You are hurt by life, but you can't resist anything. You have to continue to do what you should do.
The salary of this construction company is higher, and daily settlement can be carried out, which is exactly what the shadow hoped before.
However, because the demon shadow has no formal official identity, it can only sign the contract through the intermediary labor company. However, the demon shadow did not expect that the world could be so dark - since he signed the contract, the daily workload has become extremely heavy. If it was not for the excellent physical quality of the demon shadow itself, I'm afraid he would be dead on the construction site.
Moreover, there are supervisors here every day. If there is any laziness, it is just a whip. This kind of punishment is no different from a great insult to the demon shadow who was once valued as a God.
At first, he had to resist, but in the end, he could only attract more whips, and his whole body was even bloody.
The price of resistance is - being beaten up by more supervisors, or being fined two days' salary.
At that time, the devil realized that the salary could be settled on a daily basis or deducted on a daily basis. It was a routine.
The demon shadow needed money, and he was still worried about food and drink. Therefore, after being whipped to lie in bed for two days, he came here again and chose to shoulder the burden of life.
He also doesn't know whether his power circulation state can be restored. If it can't be restored, what should he do? The demon shadow must be prepared to be an ordinary person all his life.
He began to make a long-term plan, and he wanted to save enough money for his sister - although this figure was nothing for the magic shadow in the past, but now it seems to be far away.
"What's the matter? Why don't you say anything? Do you think I'll think you're tough like this?" Seeing that the demon shadow turned away without saying a word, the supervisor couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable, which was not quite the same as expected, so he pricked and said.
Without saying a word, the shadow shouldered two heavy cement bags and then continued to walk back.
However, at this time... PA!
A whip fell on his back!
Under the clothes, two long whip marks have emerged from the skin on the back of the demon shadow.
The steps of the demon shadow stopped, and he still didn't turn his face.
"Don't you ask me why I smoke you, boy?" The supervisor asked sarcastically.
It's obviously something to pick up.
"You are hating me." The shadow said in a low voice.
After the shadow came here, it was the supervisor who whipped him for the first time. At that time, the shadow rode on him and punched him in the face for several times. From then on, the beam was completely finished!
In the days to come, if there's nothing wrong, the supervisor will find the trouble of the demon shadow and often whip him severely, but the demon shadow always chooses to swallow it for the sake of salary.
Such a response disappointed the supervisor. He also thought that if the demon shadow dared to fight back, he would work with all other supervisors to smoke the disobedient guy to death.
After all, this kind of person without identity will have no problem even if he kills a hundred.
"Yes, I just hate you." After saying this, the supervisor showed a ferocious smile and whipped the demon shadow again!
Because the crisp sound of the whip was so clear, other workers stopped and looked here.
Feeling the pain in his back, the demon turned his face and said to the arrogant supervisor, "you may never understand that everything you lose will return in another way."
