Something's wrong with my roommate

Chapter 631 The Method of Leaving the Nursing Home
Seeing the girls' dormitory being smashed into ruins, Xu Cheng's heart tightened for a moment. The little white-haired girl in his mind was intertwined with the raging flames in front of him, twisting continuously.

Fortunately, Xu Cheng's spirit and will have been sharpened by the pain of more than ten years. He just woke up after a little trance, strode forward, and braved the scorching flames into the ruins.

There are mutilated corpses everywhere in the ruins, and it is impossible to distinguish the original appearance.

After searching around, Xu Cheng had suffered multiple burns on his body. In the end, he found an incomplete corpse of a young girl under a ruined wall. It could barely be seen that the burnt hair was white.

Xu Cheng stared at the corpse for a while, then raised his head to look at the sky, and cursed.

"damn it!"

In the sky, there were still a large number of giant fireballs smashing into the city like meteors, and the dark night was illuminated red.

Another fireball flew towards Xu Cheng, this time he didn't hide.

【mission failed】

Turning back time, Xu Cheng opened his eyes and found that he had returned to the side of the well during the day.

There are only four reopenings left.

But tonight, the whole city will be destroyed, and he must leave this dangerous place before dark.

But what to do when you're out of town?
Now it is no different than the descendants. There are not many human settlements outside the city. They are all vast wastelands and forests. Countless monsters are running rampant on the land. Ordinary people will almost die when they travel far, let alone him, a child who is extremely weak.

After standing by the well and pondering for a long time, Xu Cheng finally made up his mind, picked up the water stick and turned to leave.

Soon, he followed the voices to the front yard, where a large number of orphans gathered, surrounded by Omar and Caroline.

"It's all there, don't worry."

The pair of master and apprentice were distributing gifts to the orphans, and Xu Cheng, with sharp eyes, spotted a white figure in the crowd at once.

Susan was among them, trying to squeeze in through the crowd, and raised her thin little hand towards Caroline.

"Don't squeeze the ones behind."

The child in front pushed back violently, and the thin Susan immediately lost her balance and fell on her back.

She subconsciously closed her eyes tightly, but the expected pain did not appear, instead she felt supported by someone.

Susan opened her eyes and saw a familiar face.

"Lock?"

Susan asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Normally, Xu Cheng rarely participated in such lively activities, and always acted alone, very withdrawn.

Xu Cheng smiled slightly at Susan. He is not a lonely person. If he can speak, he is confident that he can become the king of children in the entire orphanage with his mouth.

It's a pity that he is a mute, and he can't reveal the secret of his ability to write, so he is used to being alone.

After supporting Susan, Xu Cheng picked up the wooden stick in his hand and thrust it into the gap in the crowd. His legs slightly twisted at the waist, and all the strength in his body was concentrated on his arms in an instant.

Although he is physically weak, with the help of special power-generating techniques, he was able to gain a little bit of strength for a short time.

The crowd in front was abruptly separated by a gap.

Xu Cheng took the opportunity to squeeze in, and finally came in front of Oma and Caroline.

The rest glared at Xu Cheng, the guy who jumped in line suddenly, and stretched out their hands to pull him out.

Xu Cheng swiped the stick in his hand vigorously, and knocked back all the extended hands.

Just this movement already made him feel a little out of breath.

Suddenly, Xu Cheng felt his clothes tighten on his back, and he was lifted up by Caroline.

"Little rascal, jumping in line and beating people, right?"

Caroline glared at Xu Cheng displeasedly. She already recognized this boy as the devil's son who was sent to a nursing home more than ten years ago. After all, the two sharp horns on his head were too obvious.

A long time passed, and Caroline had already forgotten that she had been urinated twice, but seeing him make such a vulgar behavior at this moment, she still subconsciously felt disgusted.

Xu Cheng's eyes were calm, and he looked over Caroline to Omar behind him.

Compared with the first time we met, Omar's face has a more obvious look of weather, and he already feels a little old.

He smiled and smoothed things over: "Okay, Caroline, the child is not sensible, let him be put down."

Caroline snorted dissatisfiedly, and put Xu Cheng on the ground.

The nurse at the side rushed in and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Lord Oma, I will discipline this kid well."

While talking, she reached out and grabbed Xu Cheng's clothes, ready to take him away.

"It's okay, kid, it's better to be more lively. When I was young, it was too much."

Omar stopped the nurse's behavior, and then passed the bread in his hand to Xu Cheng: "Here, don't do such a dangerous move next time."

Xu Cheng didn't answer it, then picked up the stick and wrote a line on the ground.

"I want to leave the nursing home and join the Demon Hunting Society."

After thinking about it, he decided to pin his hope of leaving the city on Omar and Caroline. For this reason, he had to expose his secret learning of characters.

Sure enough, when they saw the line of writing on the ground, whether it was Omar, Caroline, or the nurse next to them, the three showed extremely surprised expressions at the same time.

"You can write?"

Omar looked up at the nurse, when did the nursing home become so extravagant that it taught the children characters.

"It's not me, Lord Omar, you know I can't read either."

The nurse quickly disregarded the relationship, and then said loudly to Xu Cheng, "Who taught you?"

It is understandable for him to be so nervous. In this era, learning characters is regarded as the right of nobles and extraordinary people. Only a few special professions, such as teachers or businessmen, are allowed to learn.

This is also something that Xu Cheng has been unwilling to reveal that he secretly learned characters.

He wrote on the ground with a stick: "I learned it myself."

The nurse couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but Caroline didn't believe it. She reached out and grabbed Xu Cheng's ear: "Little brat, are you still lying in front of us? Hurry up and tell the truth, or I'll beat you up!"

Omar took Caroline's hand away, then squatted in front of Xu Cheng, looked into his eyes, and said softly, "Tell Uncle Omar, how did you learn it?"

Xu Cheng didn't want to involve Susan, and had already made up a set of excuses in his mind.

But before he could speak, a weak voice sounded from outside the crowd: "I can testify that Locke learned it by himself."

The nurse hurriedly separated the children who were huddled together to watch the excitement, and found Susan who was hiding behind.

Susan huddled in fear, but said with a trembling voice, "I gave Locke those discarded papers. Don't punish him. If you want to punish, punish me."

Xu Cheng showed a helpless expression, but he didn't do anything to tell the reason he made up, because Susan couldn't hide anything at all.

The nurse slipped Susan to Omar. Amidst her trembling narration, the eyes of the three gradually became unbelievable.

Just relying on some scraps of paper picked up, he was able to learn complex characters.

This kind of talent is too scary. Both Caroline and the nurse feel that their IQ has been crushed, especially Caroline. She has been able to read and write smoothly since elementary school.

But Omar is concerned about other aspects. At a young age, Xu Cheng knows the importance of learning characters, and he can persevere in it.

For this kind of thing, talent, wisdom, and perseverance are indispensable.

This gave Omar the idea of ​​accepting Xu Cheng as a student.

More than ten years ago, he helped Xu Cheng seal the devil, and even wasted his precious qualifications to send Xu Cheng to a nursing home. It wasn't that Xu Cheng had anything special, but that Oma felt a little owed to him.

Seeing Xu Cheng show such talent now really moved him.

He squatted in front of Xu Cheng and asked, "Why did you join the Demon Hunting Club?"

Xu Cheng wrote on the ground with a stick: "My parents were killed by a black wizard, and I want to avenge them."

That's right, Xu Cheng's life experience has been rewritten.

In this age where monsters are rampant, the reputation of demons is really bad. Xu Cheng, whose parents are black wizards and who is boarded by demons himself, cannot live in a nursing home even if he is qualified.

So Omar had to change his life experience, changing all three of his family into innocent victims, and his parents died at the hands of black wizards.

Xu Cheng grew up in a nursing home, and the nurses also told him this life experience. As long as Oma and Caroline don't talk, no one will know the truth of this life experience.

If Xu Cheng wants to leave this city, talent alone is not enough, he must have a reason enough to convince Oma.

There is no better reason than this to avenge his parents, and it can also arouse Oma's feeling of indebtedness to him.

Although a bit despicable, Xu Cheng had no choice.

A complex look flashed in Omar's eyes. He pondered for a long time, then raised his hand and touched Xu Cheng's head: "A very good wish."

"teacher!"

Caroline couldn't help but want to persuade, she knew the truth, Xu Cheng's parents were killed by Omar.

Although things happen for a reason, who can think rationally in this kind of thing?If Xu Cheng knew the truth in the future, wouldn't Oma cultivate an enemy for himself?
"Caroline, don't stop a child from wishing to avenge his parents."

Omar interrupted Caroline, apparently having made up her mind, and said to Xu Cheng, "I can help you enter the Demon Hunt, but only when you mature."

No need to wait, I'll be ripe tonight.

But Xu Cheng couldn't tell what would happen tonight, because no one would believe what he said.

"I can't wait any longer."

"You are young……"

"Because of my young age, I should have laid the foundation earlier. Staying in a nursing home is just a waste of life."

After Xu Cheng finished writing this sentence, he picked up the stick in his hand, pointed at Caroline, and hooked his fingers at her.

Caroline suddenly understood what Xu Cheng was going to do, and laughed out of anger. This kid actually wanted to challenge herself?

In his eyes, doesn't my old lady have any deterrent power at all?

Omar couldn't help but laugh, raising his head and laughing.

The next moment, his laughter stopped abruptly.

Xu Cheng stepped hard, and the wooden stick in his hand was like a sharp sword, and he stabbed Caroline's abdomen fiercely.

The movements are impeccable, and the speed is astonishingly fast, which is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary children.

Caroline was taken aback, and raised her hand to grab the wooden stick that Xu Cheng stabbed at.

Xu Cheng waved his other hand forward, and a cloud of dust was thrown out. It was a handful of dirt that he quietly picked up when no one was paying attention when he was writing on the ground just now.

Caroline raised her hand to block the dust flying towards her eyes, and took the opportunity to snatch Xu Cheng's wooden stick with force.

Just when she was annoyed and was about to hold Xu Cheng down and beat him up, she found that Xu Cheng had disappeared.

boom!
Caroline felt a hard kick in the popliteal behind her knee and fell forward on one leg.

But after all, she was a seasoned warrior. When she knelt halfway down, she stiffly stabilized her body. She swung the wooden stick back, but it missed.

Xu Cheng predicted her counterattack, he dodged the wooden stick ahead of time, and threw a punch with all his strength, hitting Caroline's rib exposed by the backward swing.

This blow did not cause any harm to Caroline, but completely irritated her.

"Little devil!"

She grabbed Xu Cheng's hand and lifted him up violently. When she was about to teach him a profound lesson, Omar stopped her.

"Okay, you don't feel ashamed to bully a child."

"..."

The dumbfounded eyes around her made Caroline feel a little bit embarrassed that she would be at a disadvantage in the hands of a brat.

However, she couldn't do it to beat a child in public, so she could only let go of her hand angrily, allowing Xu Cheng to fall to the ground.

"Locke!"

Susan hurried over and anxiously helped Xu Cheng up.

Xu Cheng was sweating profusely, and his strength had been exhausted just by fighting Caroline for a short time, and his hands and feet were so sore that he couldn't move.

Xu Cheng has extremely rich combat experience and special power-generating skills. He can burst into combat power that does not belong to this age in a short period of time, but the price is that his body functions are severely damaged and his muscles are extensively strained.

This is also the reason why he hasn't taught those brats in the nursing home for more than ten years, because the gain outweighs the loss.

Now in order for Omar to take him away, he also has to take risks.

After drinking Caroline, Omar looked at Xu Cheng with more than admiration.

If the fighting skills he showed just now were discovered by himself, then this kid's talent is too terrifying.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the demon's seal was loosened, and he borrowed the power of the demon.

Either way, he cannot be kept in the nursing home.

"gentlemen."

Omar looked at the nurse at the side: "Help me go through the formalities, I'm going to take him out of the nursing home."

"Lock?!"

Susan let out an exclamation, because Xu Cheng exhausted his last strength, grabbed her hand and held it high.

He couldn't leave this little girl who was always with him in the nursing home to die.

Both Caroline and the nurse felt that Xu Cheng was overreaching, but Omar smiled indifferently: "Then go through the formalities for the two of you. Of course, the little girl has to agree."

After hearing these words, Xu Cheng suddenly collapsed and completely lost his strength.

Next, regardless of whether Omar will leave the city today, with his fourth-level ability user's strength, he can at least protect the safety of the two of them.
