Chapter 148: A Step That Must Be Taken
"Shining, you're back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "The second uncle's voice was faint, without any waves, as if there had never been a gap in the middle of the half year, as if I had just returned from the company where I started to practice.
"I'm back." I replied equally emotionlessly.
When my second uncle turned to me, I noticed that he seemed to look much older than when we were separated. In fact, he is not that old, not even fifty years old, under the health security conditions of modern society, this age should be in the prime of life. But now his hair is more than half white, and he really looks like a little old man.
When he kicked me out half a year ago, he was still so domineering, domineering and tough, but now, facing me, he didn't have the momentum he had at that time, and he seemed a little ordinary.
It seems that now we are finally standing on an equal footing in the dialogue.
"I've awakened and have more than just the power of a demon hunter." I'll get straight to the point.
The second uncle didn't look surprised.
"That's normal," he said, "you're the same as your father." ”
The second uncle's words verified my suspicions all along. This kind of power should come from blood, and the one who is most likely to give me this power is my father, although I have not found anything unusual about him since I was a child.
At the moment, I don't want to say more about this issue, all superfluous emotions can only affect my ability to achieve my goals. Although I was so much curious about things about my parents, I wanted to know the answers to the mysteries that had always haunted me.
"I want to join the team of demon hunters, you guys, you should be fighting as a team, right?" I looked straight into my second uncle's eyes and said, "There is also knowledge about non-humans, about combat skills, as a member of this family, I also want to learn." ”
The second uncle looked me up and down, as if he was looking at someone I didn't know. After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled.
It was this smile that really scared me. Since I was a child, I have never seen my second uncle give me a smile, and in my consciousness, I always thought that he should not be able to smile.
"Shining, in half a year, you have changed a lot. Your father is not a qualified man, you don't want to be like him! ”
This sentence suddenly ignited anger in my heart - is it up to you to judge whether my father is a qualified man or not?
My father's smiling face and tender eyes were always in my mind, and I never forgot them for a moment. The faces of the second uncle in front of him are somewhat similar to those of his father, but they are two completely different people.
In my heart, my father was the most brilliant man, and he was not comparable to a ruthless, mercenary man like them.
I didn't speak for three minutes, and silence suppressed the anger in my heart.
"I'm not here to say this, I just want to participate in as many demon hunts as possible in my location, and in exchange, my abilities can be used by you as you please. Maybe you'll need some of my abilities, for example, when you meet a demon god. "I try to express my thoughts as succinctly as possible, and if I talk too much, it will arouse anger in my heart.
"If you already have the ability and recognize the identity of the Demon Hunter, then everything you want is natural, and we recognize you." The second uncle said, "As a member of the family, we will give you full trust, and hope that your practical actions can be worthy of the trust of the family." ”
Sure enough, it was "trust", and I didn't even ask why I came back and what I wanted to do it for. It seems that in this family, blood and power are everything, only actions and results, goals and motives are not important.
That's exactly what I was hoping for.
My idea is simple, I want to be able to fight as many demons as possible and get energy from them. Only with enough energy will it be possible to reconnect with the mysterious man who is somewhere, if he is still alive.
That's what I've learned from my experience, whenever he's weak, if I can get enough energy, I'll be able to revive him. And I also know that what demon hunters hunt and fight is usually trolls, which are enemies that threaten the normal survival of human beings.
The only problem now is that I seem to have lost the ability to absorb spirits. That's why I asked Lu Jingping about those things in the car.
When he's gone, I don't have that ability anymore, which means that that ability is indeed his, and I'm really just an ordinary human being in essence.
Absorbing the spirits of other living beings is an ability that can only be possessed by beings of higher levels than humans. Now, I not only need more opportunities to fight demons, but also need a medium to turn the energy in their bodies into my own, otherwise everything I have done will be in vain.
I haven't figured out what to do yet, but it's not always possible to take a step forward. I decided to do what I could first, and as for what would happen next, maybe along the way, I would get other guidance.
I wasn't allowed to live in my original room, and now this house is occupied by my second uncle. Lu Jingping took me to his apartment and let me stay in a guest room.
This is the house where the second uncle's family originally lived. Now, the second uncle has moved to our house, and the lobby brother Lu Jingming is married and has an independent house next to it, so now only Lu Jingping is left in this old house.
Jingping turned out some daily necessities such as bed sheets and bedding and threw them to me. I took it all and started tidying up the room. After all, I'm planning to stay here for a few days.
"There is an operation tonight, I will take you there, you don't need to prepare anything, what you need to learn, or learn quickly in actual combat." Lu Jingping said.
He had a point, and I knew it very well. I was lonely before, and almost all the battles were fumbled by myself, but that haphazard groping was more effective than anything else.
It was a new experience for me to hunt trolls in a cooperative way with a group of professional monster hunters, so I still had a little bit of anticipation in my heart.
Since I have unique powers, I may only be able to find what I can do in the midst of constant fighting.
"Besides, the ...... thing you asked" Lu Jingping hesitated for a moment before he said, "It is impossible for humans to absorb spirits, but it is possible to find a specific demon or demon god." I haven't done anything like this and I don't know the method, but the way it does exist. If you really want to know, go to the family library, where you may be able to find the answers you are looking for. ”
