Lying on the ground, looking at the dark night through the woods and the looming stars, Xu Cheng felt slightly absent-minded.
After entering the Gate of Hell for more than twenty years, Xu Cheng has completely integrated into this world. Sometimes he can't even tell whether he is Locke or Xu Cheng.
If the manager hadn't reminded him from time to time, maybe he would have regarded Xu Cheng's life as some kind of fantasy in his childhood.
Ten years have passed since he became a student of Omar. For Xu Cheng, these ten years have not completely taken off. On the contrary, they have been miserable and unbearable to look back on.
When Omar used magic potion to transform Xu Cheng's body, he failed to transform his body after suffering great pain, and it also left extremely serious sequelae.
This resulted in Xu Cheng's strength being always very weak, and he had to spend energy learning alchemy and making things like guns and bombs to increase his combat effectiveness.
After draining Omar's favor, Xu Cheng successfully entered the Demon Hunting Association, but was severely discriminated against because of his identity as the son of the devil.
Although he has made a lot of achievements, he has never been promoted. Now he is still working at the bottom of the Demon Hunting Guild, often doing some very dangerous tasks.
In the past ten years, Xu Cheng has not never thought about using the knowledge in his mind to help himself and those around him obtain some benefits, but most of them were lost due to accidents and bad luck.
These twenty years of life can only be described in two sentences.
Good news: Yay, I’m the main character!
Bad news: run quickly, tmd is an abusive article!
The only good news is that Xu Cheng has not reopened during this period, and has still reserved four opportunities to reopen.
After lying quietly in the woods for a long time, Caroline suddenly raised her head and looked at him condescendingly: "What are you thinking about?"
Their faces were so close that they could clearly feel each other's breathing, and they could even touch each other's lips just by sticking out their tongues.
Xu Cheng is mute and cannot speak, but he and Caroline have been through life and death together many times, and sometimes they can understand each other's thoughts with just a look.
His wide eyes revealed only one meaning - I'm wondering if it's time for you to lose weight?
Caroline ignored Xu Cheng's teasing and stared closely into his eyes.
"You helped me find the dead crow and avenged me. How should I repay you?"
Just get up from me!
Reading what he meant from Xu Cheng's eyes, a flash of disappointment flashed through Caroline's heart.
However, this was a situation that could be expected long ago. Caroline quickly cheered up and got up from Xu Cheng.
The two of them left the woods together, returned to the city to pack their things, and then took the dragon chariot back to Sauron's capital.
After returning to the capital, according to custom, Xu Cheng would go home directly, while Caroline had to go to the headquarters of the Demon Hunting Association. Killing the dead crow was a big achievement. This credit did not fall on Xu Cheng, but it could allow Caroline Get a promotion.
"Wait a moment."
Caroline called to Xu Cheng who was about to go home: "Don't go back yet, come with me to have a few drinks."
Xu Cheng originally wanted to refuse, but seeing her firm eyes, he finally nodded in agreement and accompanied her to a nearby tavern.
After drinking until midnight, the two of them came out of the tavern where they were playing together and walked back arm in arm.
Perhaps because of the revenge, Caroline drank a little too much today and talked a lot more than usual. She kept chattering non-stop.
】
He even used Jiu Jin to talk about Xu Cheng's childhood, emphasizing how much he hated him.
Xu Cheng didn't react much. After all, he was mute and couldn't react. He could only act as a listener.
The royal capital was also very quiet in the middle of the night, with no one on the road.
When they came to a remote corner, Caroline suddenly used her arms hard and pushed Xu Cheng against the wall.
"Obviously I hated you when I was little...why..."
Caroline murmured while kissing Xu Cheng's neck and collarbone. She also put her hands under the hem of his clothes and started groping.
Xu Cheng looked helpless. In fact, he had already seen that Caroline liked him.
Sister, I have only saved you a few dozen times in total and helped you solve hundreds of troubles. I have always been your confidant. I also helped you find the person who killed your father and avenged you. There is no need to Do you agree with me?
Caroline was usually very restrained, but tonight she probably took advantage of the alcohol to have drunken sex.
Xu Cheng grabbed Caroline's shoulders with both hands and pushed her away hard.
"Are you dissing me for being old?"
Caroline stared closely into Xu Cheng's eyes.
Xu Cheng shook his head. As a half-elf, she has a lifespan of five to six hundred years, but she is not yet fifty years old.
Caroline bit her moist lower lip: "Is that because of Susan?"
Didn't you ask knowingly?
Xu Cheng and Susan have been married for five years. He is now a married man, famous and married.
Seeing Xu Cheng nodding firmly, a hint of sadness flashed in Caroline's eyes.
She couldn't say it didn't matter, so she waved her hand very irritably: "Go back, don't bother me anymore."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xu Cheng looked at her lonely back and did not pursue her.
If it was before entering the gate of hell, Xu Cheng would definitely catch up. Anyway, he was already a scumbag and didn't care about having another mouth to eat.
But his current identity is Locke, the God Killer, and Locke is not the kind of person who is half-hearted.
As his wife, Susan has been by Xu Cheng's side since she was a child and must never let her down.
Then you can only feel wronged to Caroline. Who told you to be late?
If Caroline had not sent Xu Cheng to a nursing home, but had taken Xu Cheng home to raise as her husband, Susan would have been nothing.
After crossing half the city, Xu Cheng returned home and found Oma dozing in the living room. She woke up when she heard the door opening.
He is already very old, with white hair and wrinkles on his head. He has no trace of the fitness and power he had as a lion ten years ago. A serious injury five years ago caused all his strength to disappear and he entered a state of retirement early.
"Just come back."
Omar was relieved to see Xu Cheng back safely. He knew that Xu Cheng and Caroline went together to seek revenge on the Dead Crow. Although it was extremely dangerous, he could not stop this kind of thing.
Just like what he said when he took Xu Cheng out of the nursing home, a child's determination to avenge his parents cannot be stopped.
"Where's Caroline?"
Xu Cheng casually made a sign, indicating that she was on a mission to the Demon Hunting Club and would not be back tonight.
"Locke!"
Xu Cheng looked over following the surprised voice and saw Susan coming down the stairs on the second floor.
Twenty-three-year-old Susan is already a mature woman. Her appearance can only be regarded as beautiful, far from being comparable to that of Caroline, who is a half-elf. But when Xu Cheng saw her, he could feel something called The peace of mind of home.
"You two have not seen each other for more than ten days, so let's get together."
Omar thumped his waist and stood up: "Don't worry too late, old man, my sleep quality is not good."
Susan blushed slightly, but Omar was their unrelated father to the couple, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Xu Cheng sent Omar back to his room and returned to the living room to see Susan already busy.
"You go take a bath first, and I'll make some medicine for you."
Because the use of magic potions to transform his physique failed ten years ago and left serious sequelae, Xu Cheng needed to take medicine for a long time. The money just to buy the medicine was a huge expense.
After coming out of the shower, Susan had already cooked the medicine and served Xu Cheng to drink it before the couple went back to their room to sleep.
Having just been aroused by Caroline, Xu Cheng wanted to drag Susan along to make a little man, but for some reason, he felt very sleepy after drinking the medicine, and fell asleep soon after.
In his sleep, Xu Cheng, who was in a state of consciousness, felt that his whole body seemed to be hot, and his whole body was losing gravity as if he was thrown into space, floating up and down.
Not knowing how much time had passed, he opened his eyes and found that he was in a cave.
There was an altar covered with black cloth and various sacrificial items placed in the cave. The smell of burning candles and incense was very pungent.
On the rock wall in front of the altar, a lifelike one-eye was painted with blood.
Long-standing memories came to mind, and Xu Cheng immediately recognized that this was the place where his parents used him as a sacrifice to summon the devil when he was just born.
There were subtle footsteps outside the cave. Xu Cheng looked back and saw John and his wife walking in.
Different from the memory, the cheap parents of the dark wizard now walked towards Xu Cheng with gentle and friendly smiles.
"Locke!"
Suddenly, a bloody sword blade pierced the chests of both John and his wife. They fell down at the same time, and Omar and Caroline appeared behind them holding murder weapons.
The two of them looked at Xu Cheng coldly with cold faces and murderous eyes.
"You didn't expect that?!"
A voice full of malice, with a strange language that was incomprehensible, sounded from behind Xu Cheng.
He looked back and saw a figure in Mohu emerging from a single eye on the wall.
The figure was flying in the air, spinning around Xu Cheng, and said close to his ear: "The ones who killed your parents were your favorite teachers and senior sisters! Are you surprised? Accidental?"
Xu Cheng stared at the figure indifferently: "You called me out specifically for this?"
The figure seemed to be stuck in the air, and then laughed nervously.
"Do you think this is a dream? No, this is really happening. The enemy who killed your parents is right next to you!
"
Accompanied by the devil's scream, Xu Cheng felt dizzy. The next moment he woke up and suddenly sat up from the bed, sweating profusely.
The bedroom was dark, and Susan was sleeping peacefully beside her. Everything just seemed like it was just a dream.
"what's the situation?"
Xu Cheng covered his beating heart with his hand and looked solemn: "Is the devil's seal loosened?"
He has occasionally dreamed in the past twenty years, but he has never had such a clear dream, and he can still remember all the details after waking up.
Xu Cheng, who had been thinking for a long time but had no idea, was about to get out of bed and take a drink of water when he heard a strange noise from downstairs and the door seemed to be opened.
Thief?
Xu Cheng picked up the weapon placed in the bedroom, gently opened the bedroom door, and followed the stairs to the first floor.
Although he could only survive in the demon hunting guild with the help of foreign objects, he still had no problem beating a dozen ordinary people, let alone blind thieves.
After walking around the living room, he couldn't find anyone. Just when Xu Cheng was about to check the door, he suddenly felt a pain in his back.
A sharp blade had penetrated his back and came out from his stomach.
