Boss, please help

Chapter 121 The Successor

When Luo Xue heard this, she remained silent for a long time.

In a sense, she felt like an infinite weight was on her body, which made her a little breathless.

Urgent, too urgent.

This is Luo Xue's greatest feeling at the moment.

Whether it was the mission from the will of the world or the expectations from the Demon Hunter Organization, it seemed a little too anxious.

For a member like her who has just joined the gang, there is no political assessment, and there is nothing to test repeatedly when she is given a big job.

To simply give her the expectation and treatment of a savior, do you feel that the Demon Hunter Organization is too eager?
Generally speaking, when you are in a hurry, because time is too tight, you don't care about those trivial things.

But between Taotie and the demon hunters, and between the entire human society, they have been entangled and fought for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, why are they suddenly eager to be like this now?
Looking at Zhong Mingyou's expectant eyes, Luo Xue said softly: "Are you all so confident in me?"

Zhong Mingyou didn't answer right away, after thinking about it, he said something irrelevant.

"Luo Xue, do you think heroes make the current situation, or current events make the heroes?"

"Why do you ask that all of a sudden?"

Luo Xue was puzzled and didn't quite understand Zhong Mingyou's thoughts.

Zhong Mingyou smiled and continued: "These two statements have always been debated. For those who are confident and powerful, they always believe that heroes make current events. But for people like me who have no ability, I always believe that Times make heroes."

"How should I put it, when the world is in a state that is extremely bad, there will be some heroes. They have more wisdom than ordinary people, more open-mindedness, and a personality and charm that ordinary people can't match. Natural ability.

They are the heroes of the times, and they are the redemption that the world sends for its own salvation.Their great achievements are like myths, and it is impossible to replicate them. In the long scroll of human history, their own brilliance is written in full force. "

Luo Xue didn't interrupt him, and listened to his seemingly irrelevant words.

Zhong Mingyou smiled and asked: "But, if you think about it carefully, is there any fundamental difference between such a person and the general public? Aren't they all the same person, have only one life, have the same facial features and Limbs, talking the same thing, liking what everyone likes."

"Then, what's the difference between these so-called Tianming heroes and ordinary people? It's nothing more than luck, and they become heroes of the era. So I have always believed that it is the era that creates heroes, not the heroes that create the era. "

Zhong Mingyou finished his conclusion, and then said to Luo Xue: "So Luo Xue, you don't have to be surprised. In my opinion, you are the person chosen by the times, and you are destined to become a hero. You don't have to feel hesitant or afraid. I can't bear the burden by myself.

Because, everything has been arranged, success or failure, the ultimate responsibility is not on you.You just need to do your own thing well and take on your own responsibilities, then you will be worthy of the title of hero of the times. "

After a moment of silence, Luo Xue smiled and said, "Then why do you think I'm a hero of this era?"

Zhong Mingyou replied quickly: "Thought your ability."

"My ability?"

"Yes."

Zhong Mingyou replied affirmatively: "The first time I found you, Captain Pei subconsciously wanted to protect and hide you. At that time, we were all aware of your role, and it is very likely that you will become the terminator of gluttony, killing us The mission of the witcher that lasted for thousands of years was completely completed.

Later, your performance has far exceeded our estimation.Originally, we just thought that as a new power system user, you might pose a fatal threat to the gluttonous race.

But no one thought that you could purify the evil spirit and evil thoughts of the Taotie Stone, turn the power in the Taotie Stone into pure power, and the successor would not lose control and become a monster.

At the same time, it can also allow human beings to inherit more power from the Taotie Stone, thereby eliminating the huge individual power gap between us demon hunters and Taotie. "

As Zhong Mingyou was talking, he suddenly saluted Luo Xue and said solemnly: "Comrade Luo Xue, I would like to express my gratitude to you personally. Your existence not only allows me to see the hope of the end of the mission, but also saves such The fate of orphans like us, thank you!"

Luo Xue got up quickly, took a deep look at Zhong Mingyou, and said seriously: "Please rest assured, I will do my best."

"That's enough. In addition, please rest assured that no more than five people know your identity and ability. The reason why I know is because I have been handling your relationship information in the organization."

Luo Xue nodded, indicating that she understood.

Zhong Mingyou hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but said: "Comrade Luo Xue, please protect yourself."

Luo Xue raised her eyes, puzzled.

"Your identity is very important, so please don't mention your ability to anyone. What I mean is, except for a few people who know about it, no matter who it is, no matter what the identity of the other party is, you must never mention it."

Zhong Mingyou warned solemnly.

Luo Xue glanced at him silently, and asked, "Among the demon hunters, are there any who inform Taotie?"

Zhong Mingyou smiled wryly and said: "It doesn't have to be to inform Taotie. Luo Xue, politics is dirty. Sometimes, betrayal from your companions is the deadliest and most defenseless."

"Okay, I see, thank you for your advice."

Zhong Mingyou said with a smile: "This is what I should do, you are welcome. Also, you should rest well, I think Director Lin should be here soon."

Luo Xue watched him leave, sitting in this office that looked like a rural primary school teacher, watching the children playing outside the window.

After a while, Linxi opened the door and walked in with the lesson plan under her arm.

"Have you been waiting long?"

When he saw Luo Xue, he greeted her, opened the thermos cup in his hand and took a sip of water, then sat down opposite Luo Xue.

"Fortunately, the wait was less than 10 minutes." Luo Xue replied.

"Hahaha, I happened to be in class, so I was delayed."

Lin Xi made a haha, and then asked, "How about it, are you disappointed that the headquarters of the Demon Hunter is actually an orphanage?"

"No, it's fine."

"Oh, what's the good point?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi asked curiously.

"Let's keep it hidden. After all, it's hard for anyone to imagine that there is a hidden organization that the world doesn't know about in the orphanage."

Lin Xi touched the thick beard on his face, nodded and said, "You are right."

"Did you bring me here just to let me know the door?"

Luo Xue was extremely puzzled by Lin Xi's arrangement.

Lin Xi had just arrived in Nancheng to meet her, and then arranged for her to come to the headquarters of the Demon Hunter in Beijing non-stop. The time was too tight.

Still the same sentence, too urgent.

What is it that makes Linxi so anxious?

"Not urgent."

Lin Xi waved her hand, looked down at the old watch on her wrist, and said, "It's lunch time, let's go to lunch first."

Luo Xue had no objection.

Lin Xi took Luo Xue out of the office and walked towards the canteen of the orphanage.

Along the way, he casually introduced Luo Xue to the passing cleaners, nurses, volunteer doctors, and the doorman, etc.

At the same time, he also introduced Luo Xue to every staff member he met.

"Does the witcher also work part-time as a nurse and teacher in the orphanage?"

Luo Xue took the time to ask.

Lin Xi replied: "The children's orphanage belonging to the demon hunters is different, because we are fully closed management. Therefore, as the organization's demon hunters, they will all work part-time in the orphanage.

To be a teacher, a nurse, a doctor, or a canteen aunt...it depends on one's interests and hobbies, and of course, one's ability. "

He casually pointed to Tang Chao who was playing basketball with a group of children on the playground, and said: "For example, Tang Chao, he always wanted to be a Chinese teacher, but unfortunately I rejected him every year. At most, he was allowed to be a physical education teacher for children." .”

When Luo Xue heard this, she smiled.

"Aren't they eating?"

Looking at the group of playful children, Luo Xue asked.

"Of course, physical education class. Everyone wants to play for a while. After they have played enough, they will go to the cafeteria to eat. I hope there will be enough leftovers in the cafeteria at that time."

Lin Xi gloated and laughed.

While talking, the two walked to the canteen of the orphanage.

"Director Lin, come and eat."

An old man who was busy in the cafeteria saw Lin Xi and greeted him.

"Yes, come to eat. Lao Li, let me introduce you. This is Luo Xue, one of our own. Luo Xue, this is the master chef in the cafeteria. His name is Li Changgui. You can call him Lao Li."

Li Changgui quickly wiped his hands on the apron, and smiled friendlyly at Luo Xue: "Oh, what a beautiful girl, why haven't I seen her before, is she from another branch?"

"haha, yes."

Lin Xi responded casually, and then said to Luo Xue: "Old Li is also a demon hunter. After being injured, he couldn't carry out his tasks, so he helped out in the cafeteria of the orphanage. The gang has been together for 30 years, and now they have become master masters." .”

"Master Li, hello, I'm Luo Xue."

Luo Xue looked straight, and greeted Li Changgui.

Li Changgui waved his hands again and again, and said with a restrained expression: "Don't be so polite, just call me Lao Li. There are delicious dishes in the cafeteria today, stewed pig's trotters with soybeans. You sit down first, and I will call you."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for a response from the two of them, he hurried to the back kitchen.

Luo Xue looked at his back with one leg limping, but didn't speak.

The two chose a long dining table and sat down. One after another, children and staff walked into the cafeteria, took the plate at the door and ran to the window to get food.

When the children saw Lin Xi, they didn't come over. They just bowed slightly to him from a distance. It could be seen that Lin Xi had a high prestige in the orphanage.

After a while, Lao Li came over with a dinner plate. From the plate, he took down a large bowl of stewed pig's trotters with soybeans, a large bowl of stir-fried twice-cooked pork with lotus root, a large plate of green vegetables, and a bowl of seaweed soup. on the dining table.

In the end, he put down a pot of white rice, placed two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and said, "Director Lin, Luo Xue, you guys eat first, if there is not enough, I will add more for you."

"Excuse me, old Li, is Director Liu there?"

"No trouble."

Lao Li replied, and said, "Director Liu has gone out, and he will be back in a while."

"it is good."

After Lao Li left, Lin Xi and Luo Xue ate in silence.

Luo Xue never eats much, let alone the big pot of rice and big pot of vegetables in the cafeteria. It can only be said that the amount is large enough to satisfy, but in terms of taste, don't expect too much.

Lin Xi has a good appetite, and he enjoys eating with a bite of rice and vegetables.

The big pot of rice was almost all eaten by him alone, including the dishes on the table.

In the end, he directly picked up the soup bowl and drank the seaweed soup in one gulp. Then he sighed contentedly and took out a tissue to wipe his mouth.

"Is Director Lin's food okay? Would you like to add some more for you?"

A gentle and kind voice sounded behind the two of them. Luo Xue turned her head and saw an old woman in her 70s, with silver hair well groomed, wearing clean and simple clothes, looking at the two of them with a smile. .

"No need, I'm full."

Lin Xi stood up, smiled gently at the old woman, "Director Liu, let me introduce you, this is Luo Xue."

Luo Xue also stood up and called Director Liu.

Director Liu laughed, and the wrinkles on his face became more and more kind.

She stretched out her hand, held Luo Xue's hand, and whispered kindly: "You are Luo Xue, you are more beautiful in real life than in the photos."

Luo Xue remembered what Zhong Mingyou said, and immediately took a high look at Director Liu.

The life director who was in charge of the daily life of the children in the orphanage seemed to have a high status in the Demon Hunter Organization.

Because she actually knew herself, and Lin Xi specially introduced herself to her.

"Go to my office and talk, don't disturb the children's meal. Director Lin, you are here, the children are even less chewing, and they can't eat happily."

"Hahaha, it's my fault, then let's go."

Director Liu took the two of them to the second floor of the cafeteria, and then opened an old door, which was an old office.

The area is small, but the materials in the cabinet are neatly arranged, and the desk and the floor are also clean, almost spotless.

It can be seen that Director Liu is a clean freak.

But such a person, until now, has never let go of Luo Xue's hand.

Yes, she was holding Luo Xue's hand all the time, even though Luo Xue quietly exerted force, she did not break away from her hand.

Luo Xue felt a little strange in her heart, so she stopped struggling and wanted to see what she meant?
After arriving at the office, Director Liu finally let go of Luo Xue's hand.

He took two glasses from the old desk, poured a glass of boiled water for the two, and sat down.

Lin Xi looked at Luo Xue and said, "Didn't you ask why you were called to the headquarters of the Demon Hunter? Actually, it was because Director Liu wanted to see you, so he called you here."

Director Liu took over the conversation, smiled apologetically at Luo Xue, and said, "I'm really sorry, because of me, I asked you to go all the way. But, I always have to see it with my own eyes. Successor, what does it look like?"

"successor?"

Luo Xue frowned slightly, and asked calmly.
