Something's wrong with my roommate

Xu Cheng lay on the bed, lamenting the changing world.

He was still complacent before, and he used his wit to control the demon in his body, and he was about to be burned to death here in a blink of an eye.

Moreover, the life of this godslayer is too miserable. He was taken as a sacrifice by his parents when he was just born. He managed to save his life, but he was possessed by a demon, his throat was damaged and he became a dumb man. When he arrived at the orphanage, he was tortured inhumanely. He used the power of the devil to kill the nurse, and he was about to be burned to death.

What kind of miserable world is this? If Xu Cheng could move now, he would definitely write a hundred tragic words on the ground to complain about the injustice of fate.

I really don't know how the godslayer survived this world full of malice.

Do you have the same ability to reopen as yourself?
The fire gradually spread to the entire house, covering the doors and windows. The temperature in the room rose rapidly, and thick smoke billowed in.

While coughing, Xu Cheng reminded the devil in his body.

"I'm going to be burned to death, please save me!"

It's a pity that the devil didn't say anything this time, and it seems that even it has no good way.

In this desperate situation, Xu Cheng also had to make mental preparations for reopening.

"Lord Omar!!"

At this moment, a few exclamations suddenly sounded outside, and then, a tall figure quickly rushed into the sea of ​​flames.

Seeing this lion-like man with fluffy hair, Xu Cheng hurriedly kicked his short legs and opened his hands towards him as if he was seeing a relative.

The billowing smoke obstructed Oma's sight, but he still spotted Xu Cheng lying on the bed at a glance, rushed over to pick him up, turned around and rushed out of the sea of ​​flames.

Outside the house, everyone in the orphanage watched Oma rescue the devil's son, but no one dared to stop him.

Omar threw Xu Cheng to Caroline who was standing aside, and then turned to look at the director of the orphanage. His usual carefree expression became very serious at this moment.

"Give me a reason, Mrs. Dean."

Omar was full of anger. Fortunately, he happened to come to visit the orphanage, otherwise the child would be burned to death.

I asked you to help me raise him, but I didn't ask you to raise him well.

However, Omar knew very well that the dean was a person, so he would not burn the child to death for no reason, so he gave her a chance to explain.

Before the dean could speak, the nurse next to him said first, "Master Omar, this child is a demon. It killed Mary last night."

"That's right, Mary's whole body was torn apart, it was simply too cruel."

"Mary has been taking care of it, but she was killed in the end. This demon must not be kept."

The nurses yelled at each other.

Although they usually exclude and isolate the nurse named Mary, it does not prevent her from fighting the injustice at this moment.

Omar frowned slightly, and looked back at Xu Cheng.

It's a pity that Xu Cheng is now a mute, there is no way to refute, and he also saw Caroline hugging him, showing disgusted eyes, as if he wanted to throw him back into the flames.

Facing the angry nurses, if one of them is not handled well, his life may be in danger.

At this critical moment, Xu Cheng did not panic, but showed his strong response ability as an adult.

"Whoa whoa whoa."

He cried out directly, moving his hands and feet, tearing off the tattered clothes on his body, revealing his thin body underneath.

Caroline, who was hesitating whether to throw Xu Cheng into the sea of ​​fire, widened her eyes for a moment—Xu Cheng's small body was covered with scars, almost no piece of skin was good, and it was obvious that she had suffered a lot. human abuse.

Omar, who was in a dilemma, saw this scene, and a stern look flashed in his eyes. He looked back at the crowd and asked loudly, "What's wrong with his body? Who is hurting him?"

The scene became quiet in an instant, and the eyes of the nurses gradually focused on the dean.

Of course they all knew that the murdered nurse had been abusing Xu Cheng, and even used this incident as a reason to draw a line with the devil's son and spread it around.

Of course the dean knew it too, but she never stopped it.

Facing Omar's questioning eyes, it was the dean's turn to be in a dilemma.

If the nurse managed to get rid of Xu Cheng, even if Omar would pursue him afterwards, all he had to do was blame the nurse.

But now that the nurse's abuse of Xu Cheng has been exposed, even if she is dead, she no longer has the confidence to call for Xu Cheng's death before.

The most important thing is that the orphanage cannot bear the reputation of child abuse, otherwise the good people who donate will be dissatisfied.

"Lord Omar."

The dean had to lower his posture and whispered: "The devil's son has had too much influence on the orphanage. Now there are rumors in the city that there is a devil in our orphanage. Not many people dare to come to the house. If this continues, Our orphanage will not last."

She looked up at the hundreds of orphans who were watching the excitement in the distance, her eyes were slightly red: "If the orphanage cannot continue, what should these children do?"

"Hey, don't change the subject."

Caroline was a little annoyed. Although she didn't like this devil's son, she couldn't tolerate the dean using these children as a shield.

"Madam Dean, I understand what you mean."

Omar sighed: "I didn't think carefully before, I will take this child away."

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Omar."

The dean said gratefully, of course she didn't dare to mention the death of the nurse again, she was already thankful for being able to send Xu Cheng away with this plague.

"Come on, Caroline."

Omar turned and walked out, Caroline hugged Xu Cheng and followed.

Xu Cheng didn't expect the danger to be resolved so easily. Fortunately, he didn't risk reopening just now, otherwise he would have wasted an opportunity.

But this Omar is too kind to him. If he hadn't met his parents with his own eyes, he would have doubted whether he was Omar's illegitimate child.

Outside the orphanage, Omar and Caroline took Xu Cheng into the carriage, and Caroline, who couldn't hold back anymore, immediately said, "Teacher, this kid can kill people before he grows up. This is a hidden danger that has to be dealt with." .”

The inside and outside of the words imply that Xu Cheng should be dealt with.

Xu Cheng has become accustomed to the maliciousness of this world, he didn't want to say anything, and directly fought back with a piss cannon.

"what!!"

Caroline, who was peeing all over her body, let out a cry of surprise.

"This bastard kid must understand what I'm talking about!!"

She didn't dare to throw Xu Cheng out, so she could only throw him on the seat in disgust, looking around for a rag to wipe his clothes.

"Hahahaha!"

Omar couldn't help laughing, and then said: "It should be the devil who controls the child's behavior, as long as the devil is sealed up."

As he spoke, he took out a strange item from his body, which looked like a pendant with a pure black gem inlaid in the middle.

Caroline, who was wiping clothes, was taken aback when she saw this: "This is bestowed on you by the Goddess of Shadow. Are you going to waste it on this brat?"

"What is waste, no matter how important things are, they are used."

"But……"

"All right"

Omar interrupted Caroline, then squatted in front of Xu Cheng, and gently placed the black gem on Xu Cheng's chest.

"Good boy."

Omar chuckled, and teased Xu Cheng with his hands: "Don't piss on me later, if you want to piss, piss on Caroline."

"Teacher, stop talking!"

Caroline complained that the teacher brought up this embarrassing incident.

Omar pushed lightly with his fingers, and a large number of black shadows appeared from the black gemstone, instantly restraining Xu Cheng's hands and feet.

"No! Stop it!"

Xu Cheng suddenly opened his mouth and let out an angry cry, but it wasn't his voice, but the voice of a demon.

With a solemn expression, Omar gradually used his fingers to push the black gem into Xu Cheng's chest.

The demon controlled Xu Cheng's body and struggled fiercely, but he couldn't resist the power of the goddess at all, and was bound into a dumpling by the shadow, unable to move.

"It turns out that it's not that you don't have strength, but that you refuse to help me."

Xu Cheng said sarcastic words in his heart: "Now you know the fate of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?"

"Asshole, without me, let's see how you survive!!"

The demon's yelling and cursing gradually disappeared, and the shadow that bound Xu Cheng's body, together with the black gemstone, completely disappeared into his body.

Xu Cheng felt that his body was changing. The scales on his body had disappeared, and even his eyes had changed from vertical pupils to normal pupils. Except for two small sharp horns remaining on his forehead, they were no longer the same as ordinary human pupils. cubs are no different.

Although Oma looked tired, she still hugged Xu Cheng and said to Caroline, "Look, what a cute guy."

Caroline glanced at Xu Cheng, did not comment, but asked, "How are you going to house him next? We don't have time to keep him with us."

"I've already thought about it."

Omar put Xu Cheng down again, and said, "Send him to a nursing home."

"What did you say?"

Caroline was taken aback. The sanatorium was affiliated with the Demon Hunt Society, and it was dedicated to taking care of members who were injured on duty, and was also responsible for raising the offspring of members who lost their parents.

But not just anyone can enter a nursing home. Each member has only one qualification. If you give it to someone else, you will lose it yourself.

"You send him to a nursing home, what will you do when you get old?"

"For the future, let's talk about it in the future."

Omar looked indifferent: "Your teacher, even if I am old in the future, I will not go to a nursing home to wait to die. It is better to find a place where there is no one and farm the land to support myself."

Seeing Omar make a decision, Caroline also knew that she couldn't persuade her, and she was very puzzled: "Why are you being so nice to this brat? It has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Who told me to kill his parents?"

"Without you, he would have died at the hands of his parents."

"Maybe, but I can't leave it alone, isn't that how I picked you up?"

"..."

Xu Cheng listened to the exchange between the master and the apprentice the whole time, and suddenly felt that the life of the godslayer was not all dark, at least he met Omar, an uncle who was shining with the brilliance of humanity.

While the carriage was jolting, Xu Cheng, who was exhausted, slowly fell into a deep sleep.

Before his consciousness became blurred, he felt that the rest of his life would not be smooth, and more malice was waiting for him.

……

Crunch!Crunch!
Amidst the rumbling sound of the winch, Xu Cheng who was standing by the well exhausted all his strength to hoist a bucket of water out of the well.

Lifting the bucket out of the mouth of the well and pouring it into a nearby wooden bucket, just this simple action made 13-year-old Xu Cheng sweat profusely and almost collapsed.

After throwing the bucket back into the well, Xu Cheng looked up at the burning sun and cursed inwardly.

It has been 13 years since he entered the gates of hell.

After experiencing the tragedy of the first few months of his life, Xu Cheng was sent by Omar to a sanatorium affiliated to the Demon Hunting Society, where he lived with a large group of orphans.

Here, of course, there will be no nurses who deliberately abuse Xu Cheng, but just as he expected, the rest of his life will not be smooth.

First of all, due to the hostage of demons and being sealed, his body is extremely weak. He has been malnourished since he was a child, and he will be out of breath after just doing some work.

Then, the orphans living in the nursing home also need to do things. They have to support themselves since they were young, and the frail Xu Cheng has to spend several times more time and energy than others to support himself with difficulty.

In the end, although the nurses in the nursing home would not deliberately torture him, they would not give him a good look, because his status as the son of the devil made him suffer from bullying and discrimination from other orphans.

In addition, disease and bad luck also follow Xu Cheng all the time. In the past 13 years, he has been in danger of life several times due to unlucky luck, and he barely avoided it by relying on adult thinking.

But the disease couldn't be avoided, and Xu Cheng reopened three times in these years, all because of his illness.

Now, there are only five opportunities to reopen.

During these 13 years, the extremely harsh living environment gradually made Xu Cheng's brain numb.

It would be fine if he was an ignorant child, with an immature world view, but Xu Cheng is an adult with mature thinking ability.

Sometimes he even suspected that he was an unlucky guy named Locke, and that the life that belonged to Xu Cheng was just some kind of delusion.

Fortunately, the occasional companionship of the dog manager allowed him to firmly believe in his identity as Xu Cheng, and he did not sink in the pain of these 13 years.

Trying to raise the water in his hand, Xu Cheng turned and went back to his room, braving the scorching sun above his head.

Walking on the dusty dirt road, with the heavy bucket in his hand, Xu Cheng had no time to think about extraneous things. When he found a few children who were at least a head taller than him walking in front of him, it was too late to dodge.

Sudden pain in his ankle caused Xu Cheng, who lost his balance, to fall directly to the ground, and the cold well water also spilled all over the ground, staining his worn clothes and pants.

"Hahaha!"

Several brats who tripped him burst into laughter.

Amidst the laughter, Xu Cheng slowly got up and walked back with the bucket.

It's not that he doesn't want to resist, but his extremely weak body makes him unable to resist these brats. Even if he remembers the fighting instinct, what's the use if he can't even swing his fist a few times?

In addition, he is still a mute, and with the negative buff of Devil's Son, he is hostile and rejected by the entire nursing home, and the wisdom of adults cannot be used at all.

This is why Xu Cheng has never thought of leaving the nursing home for 13 years. He can still survive here, and he will definitely die outside after leaving.

After fetching another bucket of water, Xu Cheng took a detour on purpose, but happened to meet Oma and Caroline, surrounded by a group of orphans.

"Lord Omar!"

"Sister Caroline!"

The orphans called them very warmly. Every once in a while, Omar and Caroline would come to the nursing home to visit these orphans and give them gifts, so they were very popular among the children.

Thirteen years have passed, and Omar has obviously aged a little bit, but Caroline is still the same, and hasn't changed at all.

Because she is a half-elf, with a lifespan of five or six hundred years.

Xu Cheng didn't go to join in the fun, Caroline rejected him very much, and Omar, as a fighter who was often on the front line of hunting demons and dark wizards, couldn't provide Xu Cheng with any stable life, and could place him in a nursing home. It is already a great favor.

To be honest, Omar has rescued too many orphans, and has not communicated with Xu Cheng for seven or eight years, so he may have forgotten him long ago.

After bypassing the crowd, Xu Cheng returned to his cabin and started to cook.

Seeing that there were less than three days left in the rice vat, and there were still ten days before the food distribution, Xu Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

It's not that he eats too much, but that the nurses in the nursing home will deduct food from orphans, especially those like Xu Cheng, who are deducted more severely, and often go hungry twice in three days.

After barely finishing today's meal, Xu Cheng was about to take a rest when the door was suddenly pushed open, and a petite figure came in from outside.

"Locke, Master Omar has given us gifts."

Accompanied by a soft voice, the little girl with short white hair walked slowly to the bedside, and put a piece of multigrain bread on the bedside: "I got you a piece, here it is!"

If we say, the godslayer... or Xu Cheng's 13 years of dark life, the first half of which was shining with the brilliance of humanity, then the second half of the light is the little girl named Susan in front of me.

She is also an orphan, her parents were both members of the Demon Hunting Society who died in battle.

Because of albinism since childhood, few people in the orphanage are willing to play with Susan.

Therefore, Xu Cheng, the "son of the devil", and Susan, the "white-haired ghost", can only hug each other to keep warm, and comfort each other's lonely young hearts.

Xu Cheng has not gone crazy in the past 13 years. In addition to dog management, it is because of Susan's company that he can relieve his mental pain.

Taking the bread down, Xu Cheng broke it in half with force, and gave half to Susan.

Susan didn't refuse, took half of the bread and ate it like a little hamster.

After eating the bread, Susan carefully took out a few folded papers from her bosom: "Here, I picked this up from the trash today."

Xu Cheng couldn't wait to take these pieces of paper from Susan's hand, and opened them carefully on the bed, some words were scrawled on the paper.

If Diwana was here, she would definitely be able to recognize that these characters are exactly the same as those on the gate of Lingzi's tomb back then.

Since Xu Cheng is now experiencing the life of a godslayer, then this era is the ancient era when gods coexisted.

Although Xu Cheng was sinking into the pain caused by the malice of the world, he did not lie down completely, but tried his best to learn the characters of this world and understand the situation of the outside world.

However, in this era, writing is only in the hands of nobles or superpowers, and ordinary people have no chance of accessing it, let alone Xu Cheng, the discriminated son of the devil.

In the end, it was Susan who helped him solve this problem. She needed to clean up every once in a while, so she could help Xu Cheng search for some discarded shredded paper from the garbage dump.

Relying on these incomplete shreds of paper, after 13 years, Xu Cheng has learned the characters of this world, and also understands the situation outside.

He is now located in a country called Sauron. The level of civilization in this country is equivalent to the feudal system in the Middle Ages. There are a large number of lords and kings, and it is protected by the goddess of shadow and death.

There may not be a world tree yet, the concentration of spirit particles in the air far exceeds that of later generations, and superpowers are extremely common.

For example, Omar, he is only a member of the middle and lower ranks in the Demon Hunting Society, and he also possesses the power of a fourth-level powerful person.

Susan sat next to Xu Cheng, whispering about all the trivial things that happened today.

Xu Cheng sat cross-legged on the bed, listening to her voice, while reading the dirty paper in his hand. This should be a letter sent to the nursing home by an outsider.

In the tone of gossip, it tells about the friction between the local lord and the Goddess Cult due to the struggle for power. The conflict between the two sides has become more and more intense recently, and there seems to be signs of an armed conflict.

The person who wrote the letter was worried that if he stayed in the city, innocent people would be affected, so he asked the recipient for his opinion, whether he should leave as soon as possible.

Xu Cheng read it several times from beginning to end, but there was no information he wanted.

The reason why he wants to understand the outside world is that he does not want his eyes and ears to be blocked, and on the other hand, he also wants to figure out the purpose of this difficult task he is going through now.

Is it just to experience the life of a godslayer?
In the mission statement, who is the watcher?

Xu Cheng thought for a while, and found that Susan had fallen asleep leaning on his shoulder.

As night fell, Susan had to leave and return to the girls' dormitory because there were rounds at night.

After Xu Cheng sent her back, he returned to the cabin and lay on the bed. He couldn't sleep for a while, and his stomach kept growling.

In the past 13 years, although it was very painful, Xu Cheng's spirit and will have also been honed to be extremely tenacious and strong. No discrimination, pain, disease, or hunger will move him anymore.

While half asleep and half awake, the ground suddenly trembled, followed by a loud noise, which woke Xu Cheng up from his sleep.

He sat up suddenly from the bed, and saw the flames flickering outside through the gap of the wooden house, jumped out of bed and rushed out of the wooden house.

When he came outside, Xu Cheng found that the entire nursing home was already in flames, and in the dark night sky, a large number of giant fireballs fell from the sky, smashed fiercely into the city, and ignited the fire.

A meteorite fell from the sky?

wrong!

Xu Cheng immediately remembered the letter he saw today—it was an armed conflict between the local lord and the Goddess Cult.

How could it be so unlucky to let him catch up!

Xu Cheng subconsciously wanted to run away, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the girls' dormitory in the nursing home.

God Buddha Jesus bless, no accident! !
When Xu Cheng, who was lucky, came to the girls' dormitory out of breath, what he saw was ruins, and the raging flames engulfed everything, and no one escaped.
