Chapter 140: Simon's Story!
"Goodbye, Simon!"
"Goodbye, Mr. Zambi, Mrs. Molly!"
Smiling and politely waving goodbye to a couple who were chatting along the way, Simon stepped off the train with his backpack in his arms, squeezing his way out of the crowd of people getting on and off the train, and only reached out to wipe his sweat when he got out of the platform.
"It's a big city, and there are really a lot of people. ”
He let out a heavi, looked at the bustling streets outside, and hugged his bag, his expression slightly confused.
For him, this time was as incredible as a dream.
Simon came from a small town, a less developed town than Lucas, his father was a farmer, his mother worked in a textile factory, and in many people's words, he was a country boy who had never seen the world, although he attended the only secondary school in the town, and he came out on top.
Knowledge can change fate, but only if you can pay the tuition fee.
Unfortunately, Simon's family has a total of four brothers, both of whom dropped out of middle school to help reduce the burden on the family.
Unless you can be admitted to a top university like Imperial Capital University and get a large scholarship, even if you are at any university, the tuition required is a large amount that is difficult for Simon's family to accept.
Therefore, even if Simon is unwilling, he knows that his life is in a future that can be seen at a glance, find a good job after middle school, or become an apprentice, help reduce the burden on the family, provide for his youngest brother to go to school, and in a few years, save money to marry a woman he does not hate, and have children.
This is the trajectory of the life of the vast majority of ordinary people, and perhaps everyone will be pretentious when they are young, thinking that they are unique and capable of performing miracles, but in the end they will all succumb to life, and Simon is no different.
If he hadn't gotten up in the middle of the night and slipped into the remote library to read a book because he was studious.
In the library, he saw with his own eyes that the protagonist of a ghost story that had been circulating in the school for a long time was easily solved, and then thrown into a big mouth to chew and chew, and swallowed it with a bang, which instantly scared him to pee.
Next, there was no doubt that he was discovered, but because he was so frightened that his feet were weak, he didn't even run, he watched the other party walk towards him, and then the other party asked him in a very gentle tone what he was running out of the middle of the night for, using the mouth on his forehead.
Simon didn't know why his always timid self was not scared out, but stammered to answer the other party, he came to study and prepare for next year's unified examination.
Although he did not have the strength to be admitted to Shendu University, this did not prevent him from having such a dream.
What if you do get in?
Then, things developed to Simon's surprise, and instead of arranging himself as a platter or a mosaic like in a horror story, he was accepted as an apprentice by the other party because of his attitude towards learning and knowledge.
And the other party also became his mentor.
In his ignorance, Simon stepped into another world he had never been exposed to, a world of horror and weirdness, completely different from what he had seen in countless fantasy novels.
He thought he was lucky enough to meet his mentor, until other apprentices appeared next to him, and then slowly disappeared, that he realized that perhaps on the contrary, it was his greatest misfortune to be out of that ordinary world.
As one apprentice after another disappeared, he began to panic and become intensely fearful and wary of his mentor, who he felt like he was raising pigs, waiting for the moment when he fattened them and swallowed them with that terrifying mouth.
Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain that every time the mentor took his apprentice out for baptism, after obtaining the power of the evil spirit, he always came back alone and then looked for a new apprentice.
Under this kind of pressure, which was almost overwhelming, he was eager to learn the knowledge taught by his mentor, and secretly contacted other apprentices who sensed that something was wrong, and planned to escape, but they did not dare to call the police, let alone tell others, because they knew the horror of the mentor, and ordinary people, no matter how large they were, were useless in front of him.
Finally, after the mentor took the person away again, the other apprentices couldn't help but start running away, Simon wanted to run too, and had already put it into action, but before leaving, he couldn't help but go back home and look at his family, and then he found that none of the apprentices who said they were waiting for him were waiting for him, and they all left first.
And when an enraged Simon left along the agreed route, he found the frozen corpses of the apprentices on the side of the road......
In the end, he obediently returned to the mentor's side, as always, the mentor didn't seem to notice anything, still tried his best to teach him, and repeated the process of recruiting apprentices, baptism, and returning alone, Simon numbly watched the apprentices around him come and go, and couldn't remember how many people, and finally one day, the mentor called him.
A big war is underway.,There are countless opportunities in it.,As a mentor, he values the apprentice the most.,This time he finally couldn't escape again.,Follow the mentor to baptism.,There's also a super learning ability.,It seems to have gone through a lot.,So there are mature girls who don't match their age.。
Unlike the other apprentices, this girl came to the door automatically, of course, in Simon's eyes, this was tantamount to looking for her own death.
And what happened next was also beyond Simon's expectations, it turned out that from beginning to end, the mentor had not deceived them, and he was indeed taking the apprentice out for baptism!
When the girl exploded in front of Simon, Simon suddenly realized, and then realized that the truth was not much better than he thought.
The success rate of baptism is terrible, and all failed apprentices have only one end.
But Simon did not dare to escape, he could only follow his mentor to meet the final judgment, or a new life.
Maybe he'll be the only one lucky one?
Thinking like this, Simon couldn't help but bow his head and pray to God twice, before he took a hesitant step and blended into the flow of people.
Originally, the mentor was supposed to take him to camp city together, but there was some accident on the way, the mentor left alone, and asked Simon to go to camp city first to wait for him, Simon naturally obediently complied, and also understood that no matter where he ran, the mentor always had a way to find him.
"I hope I won't be considered an escape by my mentor after I sit on the station......"
With some concern, he scanned the crowd, hoping to see a familiar figure, but he found nothing, instead saw a man with a sallow face staring at him, and after being discovered, his eyes were a little flustered, and he quickly bowed his head and left.
It seems a little weird......
He clutched the bag on his chest, and suddenly found himself in front of him, crowded in front of him.
"Little brother, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
