Night

After an afternoon of hard work, Xue Huan finally returned to his residence.

Touching the whip marks on his arm, Xue Huan frowned. Because he was not familiar with the process enough, Xue Huan kept moving things all afternoon to help others. In addition, he is thin and has limited physical strength, so he will inevitably receive a few whips. Fortunately, under Ron's care, although it was a little difficult to do the work, fortunately he didn't suffer any inhumane treatment, unlike someone lying in front of Xue Huan at the moment...

"Uh..."

Jem in front of him lay flat on the ground in pain. By this time he had already taken off his shirt, revealing a strong and broad back, but his back was covered with dense bloodstains. Although the bleeding had simply stopped, there were still many wounds dripping with blood, and Jem's forehead was oozing with beads of sweat.

It's miserable...

Xue Huan sighed in his heart. But he firmly remembered what old Jos said to himself at that time: don't say anything, don't care about anything, do your part.

Although the time he has been in this world is not too long, Xue Huan deeply understands that with his current strength, it is very difficult to protect himself, let alone protect others. Again... In his previous life, he didn't belong to a living Lei Feng-like character, so the first task now is to protect himself. As for Jem's experience, it seems that he can't do much but sympathize...

I saw that Jem, who was in a coma, slowly woke up at this time.

Jem turned his head to look at Xue Huan with difficulty, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Brother Xue Huan, you're back so soon." How was it like working here on your first day?"

Xue Huan coughed dryly and concealed his expression well. Said slowly: "Well, although it feels very hard, I should be able to persevere." Jem, you're alright. ”

Jem smiled bitterly, and his words were a little decadent: "It's not bad, in this place, as long as you don't die, you can already be considered happy." ”

Looking around, fortunately, there were not many people in the room at this time. Xue Huan smiled a little embarrassedly, not knowing what to say. Do you want him to complain about this place that eats people and doesn't spit out bones?

Ignoring Xue Huan's rich expression at this time, Jem said to himself, "Do you have a woman you like?"

What the?

Why did he ask this question all of a sudden?

Xue Huan was stunned for a moment, this question seemed to really test him. Think about it carefully, although I have lived for more than 20 years in my previous life, I have also liked countless girls. But every time I confessed, without exception, I got the "good guy card" given by the other party. Gradually, Xue Huan also closed his heart, because he couldn't stand being trampled on by the other party every time he paid sincerely, although they were also unintentional.

Like someone?

A cute stammering girl suddenly flashed through his mind, the person he had known when he first came into the world.

...

Shaking his head, Xue Huan tried his best to shake off the figure in his mind. Every time it's like this, the girl smiles at herself, or her tone is a little cute, she thinks that the other party likes herself, and she is stupid to give her sincerity, but what is the result? Besides, she has only known that silly chick for less than three days, Xue Huan will not be stupid enough to feel that her charm is really so strong.

Finding that Xue Huan ignored himself for a long time, Jem glanced sideways and saw Xue Huan looking at him in a daze at this time.

"Brother Xue Huan?"

Jem's voice pulled Xue Huan from memory to reality. Xue Huan scratched his head embarrassedly: "No... No. ”

"That's right. Jem's tone seemed to be a little regretful, as if it was because of the injury, and Jem's voice was very hoarse at this time: "That's a pity, in my hometown, most people of your age have already married and had children." ”

"What about you, Jem, are you married?" I don't know why, Xue Huan became interested in the dark-skinned man in front of him at this time. Maybe it's because we're all at the bottom of the world.

"I have a girl I've liked for a long time, and I've liked her since I was very young. Jem didn't answer Xue Huan's question directly, but the careful Xue Huan found that Jem's eyes were full of tenderness at this time, and this was the first time Xue Huan had seen this black man like this.

"When I first met her, I was 10 years old. It was when I was ignorant that I had never seen such a beautiful girl. Her gestures are very temperamental, which makes me yearn for it very much. To my delight, she seemed to like me too, and during those years, we had a good relationship, even spending every birthday with me. We grew up together, and in the year I was sixteen years old, I was ready to officially confess to her. But what I didn't expect was that the night before, she said goodbye... During that time, I frantically looked for her, and I asked her family and friends, but there was still no news of her. During that time, I felt like the sky was about to fall..."

Xue Huan listened quietly to Jem's story.

"And then?"

"Later, what else can I do? After figuring it out, life is not just like this, women, can't be eaten. At this point, Jem smiled lightly.

It's a pity, Xue Huan thought there would be a better ending.

After listening to the story, Xue Huan got up and walked silently to the corner, took his futon to Jem's side and spread it out, ready to sleep. In this world without computers and games, Xue Huan could only lie down early. After all, there is endless physical work to be done every day, and if you don't rest early to recuperate, you will have to taste the overseer's leather whip the next day.

Seeing Xue Huan lying with his back to him, Jem, who was lying flat on the side, showed a sly smile.

late at night

Xue Huan, who was sleeping soundly, was once again awakened by a heart-rending pain, and this time he clearly felt that the pain he had suffered had more than doubled. In the past, he gritted his teeth and could hold on, and it usually didn't last long. But this time, not only did the heart contract and pull rapidly, but the bones of the whole body were "clicking", as if they were about to fall apart.

Clutching his chest, Xue Huan stumbled out of the room, fearing that his screams would wake up the sleeping workers next to him.

I don't know how long I ran, Xue Huan really couldn't run, and he began to gasp for breath while lying under the tree next to him. At this time, the heart beat even more violently, as if it wanted to separate from the chest.

"Ahh

A heart-rending cry resounded through the forest.

In the moonlight, Xue Huan was half-kneeling on the ground, his hands trying to support the ground so that he did not collapse to the ground. Just now, Xue Huan realized that something seemed to be detached from his body. And Xue Huan, who had experienced the moment of life and death just now, was drained of all his strength at this time, unable to move, and could only let the beads of sweat on his forehead drip into the soil.

...

"Hello, my master. A faint voice sounded in Xue Huan's ears.

At this moment, Xue Huan was already paralyzed and weak, and he could barely support his body by relying only on his hands. Hearing the abnormal sound, Xue Huan turned his head with difficulty, tracing the source of the sound.

Through the dim moonlight, Xue Huan could barely see the "person" who made the strange noise. And this look almost scared Xue Huan to the ground.

The emaciated figure, exuding an evil blue glow... A skull, and the robes he was wearing were swinging in the wind. This image is very similar to the scarecrow supported by branches in Xue Huan's previous life, but the straw has become a bone.

Seeing this kind of monster for the first time scared Xue Huan out of what little strength he had left. Now he can't even speak: "You... Don't you... But at this time, he had no strength in his whole body, and collapsed limply beside the tree. Although he was very frightened, there was nothing he could do but watch this monster get closer to him.

When it floated nearly a meter or so away from Xue Huan, the monster stopped and saluted Xue Huan, who was paralyzed on the ground. It's just that looking at such a skeleton saluting himself, Xue Huan always felt strange in his heart. Without waiting for Xue Huan to react, the skeleton said respectfully again, "Honorable master, you summoned me, do you have any orders?"

The words "summon" made Xue Huan confused, but at this moment, Xue Huan understood that what had just come out of his body was probably him. Since he said he summoned it himself, then...

After settling down, Xue Huanqiang pretended to be calm: "Since you said that you were summoned by me, then now I don't need your help for the time being, so let's go back first." ”

No matter what kind of thing it looks like this, it's better to send this plague god back first.

The skull shook his head and said, "Dear master, I may not be able to do this. Because when I'm here, it's a sign that your demonic heart has been fused, unless someone kills me and disperses my soul. Otherwise, I would have been in this world forever. ”

Demon Heart?What is that?Xue Huan's heart was full of doubts now.

As if to see that the owner in front of him didn't know anything, the skull explained slowly: "The heart of the devil is someone who used an evil spell to refuse your heart, and the rest of your body will also be strengthened because of this fusion. It's just that before the fusion is successful, there will be a long period of pain, and the heart will feel like it is being pulled and torn. The length of time depends on the spiritual strength of the person being fused, and it will generally be about half a month. ”

After listening to the skull's explanation, Xue Huan suddenly realized. No wonder I was hit in the heart but survived, no wonder my heart hurts like a knife every night. It turns out that someone has repaired his heart with evil energy, so who is this person? And this so-called evil power......

"Then what exactly is this evil power?" In Xue Huan's mind, such a powerful power is probably not a good thing.

"Please forgive me, master. I also forgot the specific source. However, as far as I know, those who possess the heart of a demon will gain abilities beyond ordinary people. And you can use some of the lowest level evil spells. ”

Spell?

Hearing this, Xue Huan couldn't sit still anymore, if it weren't for the fact that his whole body strength was drained at this time, maybe he would dance like a madman.

Use the lowest-level spells, did I hear me right? It's really hard to find a place to step through the iron shoes. I didn't expect to be able to use spells so easily. It's the lowest, but what does it matter?

Suppressing his excitement, Xue Huan tried his best to keep his tone calm: "So what should I do to use these spells?"

The skull scratched his head with his "bone claws": "I don't know, my master..."

Nani...

Xue Huan's eyes changed from expectation to loss. This skull really doesn't know anything.

"Then tell me everything you know, like... Who are you?" this is the question that Xue Huan wants to know most. Although judging from the appearance of the other party, it should be something similar to an undead creature.

"Uh... What's my name? Wait, I think I remembered......"

I saw that in the hollow eyes of the skull, the blue light was even more demonic.

"My name seems to be ...... Kel'thugad?"
