Chapter 42: Young Man, Do You Crave Power?

Replaced by Lu Mingfei a few months ago, maybe he would say something bad like "Teacher, hurry up and serve it" as soon as he opened his mouth.

But this dream, full of absurdities that reality does not have, and the man in front of him, have changed many things in him as profoundly as a carving knife.

Taking off the cloak trench coat, the long silver-white hair tied into a ponytail at the back of his head, the cold-faced demon hunter wore a black vest quite capably, and his muscles were beautiful and powerful.

It is a good figure that most men who practice blocks in the gym will envy.

But what spoiled the atmosphere was that he was wearing a pink and white apron and holding a plate of fragrant braised fish in his hand...... Compared with the cold eyes on his face that are easy to be awe-inspiring, there is quite a bit of irony.

But Lu Mingfei didn't dare to laugh.

He couldn't remember exactly when it started, anyway, one day when he fell asleep and came to this nightmare world, his teacher began to train himself in various ways. Among them, the most common training is to "teach" directly in combat......

It stands to reason that the teaching level or something should be associated with "easy".

Fortunately, he has the immortal body given by this dream, otherwise Lu Mingfei would have died several times, and even after waking up several times, he still thought about the beating he was beaten and was stupid at school all day.

In fact, thinking about it the other way around, maybe it was because he had the ability to regain blood by breathing that Xixiao was so ruthless in training him? After all, as the saying goes, the immortal body is used to die, and it also makes a lot of sense.

He felt that the same thing he had in his dreams.

For the teacher who has not even been able to take advantage of the battle once so far, Lu Mingfei is in awe in his heart. Coupled with the occasional feeding from Xixiao, he gradually got used to this kind of life by the teacher's side.

No matter how hard and tiring the training is, it can't compare to the suffering that people need to endure in this apocalypse.

His free left hand quietly touched his lower abdomen, and even though the wound had long since healed, it still reminded him of the pain that was more memorable than being bitten by a zombie.

Looking at Lu Mingfei's appearance of falling into memories again, Bu Shun put the plate on the table and easily guessed what he was thinking.

Wiping his hands on his apron, he sat down opposite Lu Mingfei and asked expressionlessly, "Still thinking about that woman?" ”

“…… Be. ”

Lu Mingfei lowered his head in embarrassment, a little ashamed that his mind was seen through again. But as the teacher said, even though almost a month has passed in the dream, he still can't forget that he was kind enough to save people, but was betrayed by others.

It's not an experience to talk about, and it's lackluster in this post-apocalyptic world.

Just for the sake of his food and his own "edible value", a woman deceived him through her appearance, and then stabbed him in the stomach at night because he was a little proud because "he can save people" before sleeping.

That knife completely shredded some of the pride in his heart because of his "player" status.

"You're almost getting used to it."

I don't know if it means something, Bu Shun said, "No matter where you are, 'trust' itself is a very risky thing. ”

Lu Mingfei deeply agreed, and traveled all the way with the demon hunter, and the sinister hearts in this apocalyptic world greatly shocked his heart that sank in ordinary reality...... If it weren't for Xixiao, he would have been dismantled a long time ago, more than once.

With his experience, it is indeed difficult to play with others.

In just two months, he has deeply realized how bad human beings can be without the constraints of law and morality...... In contrast, the nasty ghosts at school who would make fun of him have become cute.

Maybe it's because I've developed the habit of being uncomfortable if I don't get beaten every day, but after falling asleep this time, Lu Mingfei instinctively felt a little strange, there was no teaching session today?

As a student who came out of nine-year compulsory education, Lu Mingfei is still very comfortable calling the teacher, and now it has become a muscle memory-like habit, "Teacher, don't you need to train today?" ”

"Eat first."

Bu Shun raised his chopsticks and indifferently took away a piece of fish belly meat, "I'll talk about it later." ”

Lu Mingfei let out an "oh", obediently picked up the rice, picked his favorite dish and ate it.

Chewing on the rice, which seemed to be sweeter than reality, he looked at the dinner on the table, which was obviously a very home-cooked dish, but in this apocalyptic world, it was unimaginably rich, and he only felt very relieved.

Eating with the teacher is one thing, and this meal is the one that he struggled to get through his own "hard work".

These are all 'offerings'.

As the master and apprentice of the demon hunter, they have already gained some fame here, and occasionally someone will specifically invite Xixiao to hunt difficult demons with him.

Lu Mingfei himself has the nickname of a demon hunter, which is called "chainsaw...... The reason is also very simple, because he always hunts demons with a chainsaw, which is as easy to understand as some men who draw their guns too quickly and are called fast gunslingers.

Money has long since lost its meaning in this land, and people only use their "credits" when dealing with the robots of the Kivotos Academy, and most of the rest of the time they barter with guns, ammunition, food, and water. Xi Xiao and he only asked for the payment of the commission reward with materials, and this meal was exchanged for him after he hacked a demon called "homework" with his own hands.

There is nothing more valuable than precious food in the apocalypse, and at a time when most people are struggling with a mouthful of food, they can eat this kind of pre-apocalyptic meal, which is something that many so-called "big guys" can't do.

But they are demon hunters after all, it is better to say that a demon who can easily take the lives of hundreds of people is only worth such a meal, which will make normal people feel strange, right?

It's a pity that now even Lu Mingfei himself can't say that he is normal.

"How are you feeling lately?" Holding the dishes and chopsticks, Bu Shun looked at the young man in front of him who was eating with his head bowed and suddenly asked, "Are you already able to adapt to life in this land?" ”

"How much...... You're getting used to it, aren't you? Lu Mingfei put down his chopsticks and looked at the man in front of him who was cold but made him feel accustomed to being close, and couldn't help but think of the time when he ate canned food with tears and snot on his face.

Recalling the black history, he suddenly felt a little ashamed, and his eyes dodged: "Thanks to you, Teacher Xixiao...... It feels much more comfortable over here than I was before. ”

Although others may think that something is not right, he does think so.

"Obviously, I haven't even killed chickens before, but I have to experience the days when I can only survive by fighting with others...... Even so, do you think life here is happier? ”

Bu Shun shook his head and expressed concern about Lu Mingfei's living environment: "I really don't know...... What kind of hell did you live in before? ”

Maybe it's the hell called "reality".

Lu Mingfei also felt that something was finally broken, so that even the bloody betrayal in the last days could not stop his urge to stay here.

But looking at the tall and indifferent teacher in front of him, feeling the weight of the dishes and chopsticks in his hands and the temperature of the meal, he understood a little...... In fact, he just became a little too dependent on the teacher.

Abandoned by his parents and living in a relative's house, he has never met such a person in his life who will take care of him and give him guidance. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he did feel the weight of that old saying-

"A teacher for a day, a father for life"

Maybe he really found the shadow of his "father" in Xixiao's body.

Wandering between reality and dreams, Lu Mingfei often feels a strong sense of separation.

Reality and non-reality, continue to be the killing that students are accustomed to in their daily lives and dreams...... But he felt that he must still prefer to spend time with this teacher in this indescribable nightmare before he was completely broken one day.

He just thought about things in reality while cooking, and the master and apprentice ate the whole table of food without saying a word. When he touched his stomach and let out a comfortable sigh, Bu Shun calmly took out a silver pistol from behind him and slapped it on the table, "This is for you." ”

“!”

Lu Mingfei's face suddenly showed surprise, and he subconsciously asked, "Teacher...... Do you agree with me using a gun? ”

Bu Shun didn't have any superfluous expressions, and nodded slightly, "I've already said the reason for letting you chainsaw, and for this period of time, you should have used your body and consciousness to remember the feeling of taking the lives of others." ”

"I have no reason to stop you from using other weapons."

Recalling the scene where he sawed open the demon's body with a chainsaw, Lu Mingfei was silent for a while and nodded, "I won't forget it." ”

understands the feeling of taking the lives of others, and only then does he feel how precious the peace of reality is, so that he can even get comfort from the boring school and dispel the depression caused by the fight in his dreams.

"And the way you fight needs to change."

Bu Shun tapped his fingers on the body of the pistol, and said expressionlessly: "Although I don't know what is going on with your immortal body...... But blindly relying on this kind of stuff will only make you doomed one day. ”

After two months of fighting demons and humans, Lu Mingfei relied on his injuries to recover quickly, and the battle in his dream was very crazy.

It's not even a 'human' way of fighting, it's more like a demon or something.

When he is crazy, he can even exchange blood with someone else...... While it's a good thing that he's pretty much out of the cowardly vice-decay of the past, it's not good to fall into the other extreme.

Especially now that he is about to move from "dream" to "reality".

"It's hard for a normal human body to recover, and I know your marksmanship is good, so you can start fighting while learning how to keep yourself from getting hurt as much as possible."

Bu Shun pushed the pistol from the clean table to Lu Mingfei, and at the same time said the main topic of this time:

"One more thing......"

"Do you want to ...... the power of going further? ”
