Boss, please help

Chapter 124 Great and Noble

After being sent off respectfully by Director Liu, Luo Xue left Director Liu's office.

Even though she didn't have much sense of belonging to the demon hunter, Luo Xue felt a heavy weight in her heart when she was suddenly given such a accusation.

Is it responsibility, sympathy, or the guilt that will eventually destroy the witcher?

Luo Xue couldn't tell for a while.

After all, this is not the world of monasticism, and the demon hunter is not the demon cultivators, evil cultivators, and demon clans that she once slaughtered.

Strictly speaking, demon hunters are just a bunch of poor people who can't help themselves.

They walked into the abyss actively or passively, gained power that did not belong to this world, and at the same time accepted the curse brought by this power.

It can get out of control at any time, and it can become a monster at any time.

And before becoming a monster, he still needs to fight to the death with Taotie at any time.

In a word, living in the world in obscurity, and disappearing into the world without anyone knowing.

This world is not fair to demon hunters. They are doing the greatest work in the world, but no one knows it like a group of transparent people.

Director Liu letting her inherit the position of sword bearer is tantamount to putting the lives of all demon hunters in her hands.

Just one thought from her can instantly kill the demon hunter Donghua belongs to.

This is an extremely powerful force, but also an extreme trust and a heavy responsibility.

"Finished talking?"

Lin Xi had been waiting downstairs, and when she saw Luo Xue coming downstairs, she asked softly. .

Luo Xue nodded.

"How did the conversation go, did it scare you?"

Lin Xi winked at Luo Xue narrowly, with a greasy expression.

Luo Xue rolled her eyes and said, "Is she your old friend?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Hearing this, Lin Xi coughed violently, glanced upstairs guiltily, and pulled Luo Xue away from the cafeteria.

"How do you talk? What is an old friend? We are just friends who have known each other for many years." Lin Xi explained with a pretentious look.

"Oh."

Luo Xue nodded: "I didn't catch up."

"Cough cough cough..."

Lin Xi coughed violently again, and gave her a hard look, but did not deny it.

"Can we talk about her?" Luo Xue asked.

"Ah Xiang?"

Lin Xi's tone was a little low, looking at the sunset in the sky, she said sadly: "Actually, there is nothing to talk about, she is one of the first batch of demon hunters in the new era just like me.

At that time, the new regime had just stabilized, the country needed stable development, and the world was not stable.The new regime not only obtained the ruling power of the country from the old regime, but also took over the historical mission of eliminating gluttony.

It was the time of internal and external troubles. How could there be the strength and energy to fight against gluttony at that time?The leaders at that time thought great and far-sighted, and believed that races like gluttony should not exist on the soil of human existence.No matter how difficult life is now, we must build our own resistance.

Therefore, according to the relevant information left over, Donghua established his own organization of demon hunters.After the relevant departments such as researchers, medical staff, and logistics support are ready, the selection of volunteers has also begun. "

Lin Xi dug in her coat, took out a cigar from nowhere, cut the end of the cigar with two fingers together, lit it with a lighter, took a deep breath, and exhaled a puff of snow-white smoke.

"It was best to find volunteers at that time. After all, the people were struggling for so many years. Orphans who lost their parents were everywhere. As long as there was a bite to eat, who would refuse? Coupled with the publicity and spiritual education at that time, there were no more than 12 None of the children at the age of [-] chose to quit the volunteer team, and they were all willing to sacrifice their lives for New Donghua and a new life.

Ah Xiang and I were also children of that group, but limited by the technology and experience at the time, the success rate was too low.When most people try to touch the Taotie Stone, they immediately go crazy.After all, you have been starving since you were born, so how can you resist the temptation of the gluttonous stone evil spirit?

Fortunately, they survived the contact stage, and in the step of absorbing the Taotie Stone, countless partners became monsters who only knew how to devour.You should understand that this process is irreversible, and once you become a monster, you can only be eliminated.

Although the technology is being explored and there is no experience at all, but fortunately, the population base is large enough. In our class, [-] people succeeded and obtained the legendary superpower.

At that time, the government placed great hopes on us, believing that we could not only counteract gluttony, but also be a powerful shocking force even in the face of severe international situation. "

Lin Xi continued to puff and puff the smoke, covering her expression.

The voice in the mouth has no ups and downs, as if telling someone else's story.

"Night Hero!"

He suddenly spit out a word and said: "This word is the name of our new power by the relevant departments, it is a great progress and a successful experiment for human beings to explore the power of myth.

At that time, we really enjoyed the treatment of supermen, and each of us thought that we were really the patron saint of mankind, the superheroes of the new era.

Unfortunately, not long after, five partners suddenly lost control.

The entire secret base, the entire research team and garrison troops, as well as a large number of reserve volunteers in the base, were all slaughtered by the crazy partners.

Although the five companions were ultimately subdued by the remaining twelve of us, the damage was done and the consequences were cast.At that time, the way people looked at us changed from admiration to fear.

In an instant, we went from superheroes to uncontrollable devils.

The base was under martial law, surrounded by an army of troops, all weapons were loaded, and the most powerful artillery array was aimed at the base.To be honest, at that time I thought we were doomed, and no country leader would allow such an uncontrolled superpower to exist.

For a week, no supplies were sent to the base, and even the water was cut off.There was no communication, only a cold order to stay in the base and not to move, otherwise they would be killed.

We, who have inherited the power of gluttony, already eat a lot, and our character has also become extremely irritable due to the influence of the evil spirit.We, who had been hungry for a week in a row, felt aggrieved and painful, and couldn't resist rushing out of the base several times.

But Ah Xiang comforted us every time, her strength was the most useless, and she didn't even strengthen her physical fitness.But at the same time, she was the least affected by the power of Taotie, and her sanity was the clearest.

A child who was born and raised in the war-torn era is already mature. Although she is only 12 years old, she is far more rational and calm than many people in their thirties, and far more intelligent and calm than adults today.

She clearly understood the situation at that time. The government was full of expectations and reluctance for us, a new force, but the riots made the leaders deeply wary and fearful of us.

We were just besieged by heavy troops, and the guns were ready to go, but we were not immediately fatally attacked.This means that the higher-ups are also hesitating, or there are several different opinions, which are still under consideration, and have not finally made up their minds to eliminate us.

At this time, if any of the twelve of us make any excessive move, we will inevitably face a violent storm of destruction.However, if the siege continues like this, one is that we don’t know how long we can control ourselves, and the other is that we don’t know what decision the leaders will make in the end.

So, after Axiang discussed with us, she walked out of the base slowly by herself.

The weakest and most harmless, she was not attacked immediately, and kept repeating her purpose loudly until someone appeared in front of her outside and took her away.

One day and one night, this was the agreement Axiang made with us before leaving.

During this day and night, we can't do anything. No matter how irritable, hungry, wronged or unbearable, we have to wait at least one day and one night.If someone can't bear it, the others will join forces to help him calm down with their fists.

As for after a day and a night, if she hasn't come back, we can do whatever we want.After all, the end of despair is madness, and the end of madness is destruction.Whether it is life or death is actually not up to us to decide. "

Lin Xi didn't know when he smoked the cigar to the end, and he shook off the end of the cigar casually.

"That day and night was the most difficult time in my life. The eleven of us sat in the middle of the base all the time. No one spoke or moved. It was like an 11-yuan stone, but occasionally we raised our heads and looked at The direction of the base exit.

Until it was almost dawn, when the first ray of the sun rose, Ah Xiang's figure appeared on the horizon.She walked towards us slowly with tired steps, but she had a bright smile on her face.

At that moment, I heard the sound of my own heartbeat, felt the blood in my body slowly flowing in the blood vessels, and I came alive. "

Ah Xiang not only came back by herself, she also brought back a team of doctors in white coats to carry out a project called 'shackles'.As the name suggests, put a shackle on the beast to prevent it from getting out of control. "

Luo Xue understood that the so-called "shackles" were miniature bombs implanted in the brain lobe of the demon hunter.

Thinking about it carefully, in such a tense situation at that time, if you want to save everyone's life, there is indeed only such a unique way to make everyone feel at ease.

In the case of losing your mind, any guarantee and awareness are not binding.

"It was also from that day that Ah Xiang became the sword bearer. She cried and apologized to us, said she was sorry for us, and kept a distance from us from then on, and never regarded herself as our partner. It was like self-punishment, a lifetime I shut myself in this orphanage and didn't take a step out."

Lin Xi sighed: "Actually, none of us blamed her. On the contrary, we were very grateful to her, but she couldn't get out on her own. In fact, it was the best arrangement for her to become the sword bearer, and it was also the 11 of us who agreed to the 'Shackles' plan." premise. We trust her, and unless we lose control ourselves, she won't die pressing the button.

In a sense, she who is clearly the weakest is the protector of all of us.She considers herself a sinner, locked in this orphanage, accepts 24-hour surveillance, abandons all pursuits, and wholeheartedly takes care of the children of the orphanage generation after generation, and lives like this. "

Luo Xue remained silent.

People may not be great, but they must never laugh at greatness.

People can be not noble, but they must never despise nobleness.

She can't be as self-sacrificing and self-blaming as Director Liu, but she respects such people.

This is because there are such people in the world, and only then can mankind as a whole grow stronger and become the spirit of all things.

In the entire human society, there is more beauty than ugliness, and more light than darkness.

Just imagine how dark and hopeless this society would be if everyone was selfish and refined egoists?

Lin Xi took out a flat iron jug, raised her head and drank it up in one gulp, and said softly, "Ah Xiang has lived a very hard life, and she does not allow herself a little bit of happiness. This girl who loves to be horny, every time Once she pressed the button, it was like a knife was stabbed in her heart.

She suffers more than anyone else, but she doesn't want anyone to bear it for her.She has no choice but to choose you as her successor this time.And I believe that she will not leave this matter to you right away.

She knows how painful it is, and if she can give it to you one day later, she will give it to you one day later.Believe me, this is what she really thinks. "

"Yeah, she said that she can last for about half a year, so I don't need to worry." Luo Xue replied.

"Half a year?"

Lin Xi sighed, her expression darkened.

"Let's go, let me introduce you to a few more people."

Lin Xi didn't feel sad for long, and led Luo Xue to walk along the path of the orphanage.After passing through several old buildings, I finally entered an underground cave.

There is a heavy steel gate at the entrance, without any electronic equipment, only a small window on the gate.

"Remember the rhythm of my knocking on the door."

Lin Xi came out of the window and knocked, first three longs and two shorts, then two shorts and three longs.

After repeating this three times, the small window of the iron door opened a slit, and one eye looked out through the slit.

After a while, there was a heavy sound from inside the iron gate, and the two iron gates slowly opened a gap for only one person to walk through.

Lin Xi walked in first, and Luo Xue followed behind him.

Entering the iron gate, one can see two guards wrapped in steel armor. The two are shaking the heavy handle left and right, relying on the strength of pulleys and iron ropes to forcefully pull the heavy iron gate open.

After seeing the two people coming in, the two steel guards didn't say much, and shook the handle again, allowing the heavy steel gate to close slowly.

"This is the most secret place in the headquarters. There is no electronic equipment, and everything is mechanically operated. So don't worry about being intruded by information. Although it is a bit primitive, it is absolutely safe.

There is only one way to come in, and that is to brush your face.For real facial recognition, there is no identification method such as electronic card or iris pupil. As long as the guards know you and you have permission to come in, they will open the door for you. "

"If you meet people who can change face and have plastic surgery, or even deformed superpowers who pretend to be you, will they also open it?"

Luo Xue asked.

As soon as the words fell, she felt the eyes of the two steel guards falling on her at the same time.
