Principal Gamow prepared a temporary classroom preparation room for Shang Ke. He originally wanted to arrange a house for him, but he refused. Because he promised Kaxiu to live with him. And he doesn't want to be too far from the "protagonist" to avoid unpredictable accidents.
The reason why Shang Ke agreed to become a guest lecturer was mainly to facilitate the public sealing of the Devil's Tree. Before that, he must have a certain status and reputation, so that his words can be trusted by others.
His memory is excellent, and combined with the knowledge learned by the original owner, it should not be a problem to teach first-year freshmen.
When Tylor came over, Shang Ke was preparing for lessons in the lounge. I saw him leaning on the window sill, his long hair hanging down at his side, his legs slightly bent, posing in a comfortable position, and reading the textbook while drinking tea. The afternoon sun shone on him, making him look like a laid-back lazy cat.
Tylor noticed that Shang Ke was turning the book very quickly, turning a page almost every three seconds. Tylor didn't think that the other party was flipping through it randomly, the only possibility was that he could see ten lines at a glance.
Shang Ke seemed to be aware of it, looked up at the door, and immediately met a pair of blood-red eyes. To be honest, Shang Ke felt that red eyes looked a little scary, especially on a stern face.
"I'm sorry to disturb you." Tylor stepped into the lounge.
Shang Ke looked at him: "Lord Tylor is looking for me?"
"The principal asked me to ask you, do you need any help in preparing lessons?" Tylor made an excuse without changing his face.
"No." Shang Ke was estranged. If this man is really the person he thinks of, then Shang Ke really doesn't want to get too close to him, at least not until he can't be sure if he can survive.
Tylor walked over to him, stared into his eyes, and asked, "You hate me?"
"As your defeated general, do you think I should like you?" Shang Ke raised his eyebrows and raised his chin slightly.
Tylor's eyes swept across his moist lips and said, "You may have hated me in the past, but now you may not really hate me."
"Oh? How can you see it?" Shang Ke made an appearance of listening intently.
"There is no disgust in your eyes." Tylor's tone was firm.
Shang Ke frowned, suddenly stretched out his fingers and raised the corners of his eyes, with a fierce look on his face, and said fiercely, "Is that so? It's disgusting enough."
Tylor stared coldly at Shang Ke's funny expression without saying a word.
After doing this, Shang Ke will regret it! How cheap is he, what kind of treasure is he playing in front of Tylor? What about cool and noble
"Go ahead and prepare your lessons, I won't disturb you." After saying this, Tylor walked out of the lounge, leaving Shang Ke in the lounge alone.
Tylor left the lounge, turned into a corridor, and suddenly laughed.
"Cough." But in an instant, Tylor returned to his former sternness, but he deeply remembered Shang Ke's funny face, and he was very happy all day.
Why didn't I realize that Osari was such a lovely guy before
Shang Ke's first class was on the third day after he was hired. The content of the lecture was the restrictive relationship between demonic energy and belief.
On this day, the classroom was full, and many people were listening outside the classroom.
Shang Ke's psychological quality is excellent, he doesn't know what stage fright is at all, and he recites the contents of the textbook perfectly. In class, almost no one can ask him down. He can even tell which page and line of the textbook the answer is on.
The first session was a success.
After class, someone suddenly asked: "Teacher, now that you are a teacher, will you still sell boxed lunches in the future? I can't eat your boxed lunches recently.
This sentence received an immediate response from everyone.
Shang Ke said, "Whoever gets the full marks in my class, I will invite whoever I want to have a luxurious dinner."
"Oh!" The students let out a wolf howl.
"Luxury dinner." After school, Tiluo blocked Shang Ke at the school gate, and said calmly, "I wonder if I have this good luck?"
"No." Shang Ke walked away quickly.
Tylor followed behind him step by step, following him all the way to Kaxiu's house.
Kaxiu has martial arts training in the evening and will not come back until midnight. Shang Ke went to the neighbor's house to pick up Pupu, who was about to cry. This poor little guy thought he was abandoned by his father. He was holding back his tears and wanted to cry. When he saw Shang Ke, he immediately hugged him and felt wronged. crying.
"Dad, Daddy..." He kept shouting "Dad" with infinite accusations.
"Good, I didn't tell you, I'll be back tonight." Shang Ke patted Pupu's head.
Pupu pursed his mouth and wiped all his tears and snot on Shang Ke's clothes.
Tylor stared at them for a while and asked, "Is she your adopted child?"
Osari has only been away for five years, and it is impossible to give birth to a 6 or 7-year-old child.
"Yeah." Shang Ke nodded casually, put Pupu down, turned around and went to the kitchen to cook.
Pupu tugged at the hem of his clothes and followed closely behind him.
Tylor leaned against the door, quietly watching Shang Ke busy in the kitchen, with no expression on his face, like a sculpture.
Pupu looked back at him a few times, and as long as he met his gaze, he would immediately hide behind Shang Ke, revealing only one big black eye to peep.
Tylor didn't like children, but he felt that the feeling of Osari being with this child always made people feel very comfortable.
That night, Tylor had a delicious meal at Shang Ke's house, left ten gold coins, and floated away.
After Kaxiu's training was over, he came home exhausted and found that he didn't even have any leftovers at home...
Shang Ke's life began to become regular and leisurely, taking classes during the day, taking Pupu at night, feeding domestic dogs, and occasionally feeding a wild animal.
It wasn't until three months later that the magical storm that Shang Ke had been waiting for finally broke out. The energy of the Devil's Tree is generally stable, but at certain times, there will always be one or two magical storms, like a volcanic eruption.
Its radiation range is large or small, but this time it is the largest in history, covering almost one-third of the continent. Countless human beings have been invaded by demonic energy, riots have occurred frequently, and the order has fallen into chaos. Ordinary demonic energy will not actively invade the body, but demonic energy storms are different. Because the energy is too strong and the concentration is too high, many innocent people are not spared.
The Imperial City was also within the scope of the demonic storm, and one-fifth of the people in the city showed signs of initial invasion.
All clergy and healers were called together, divided into several treatment areas, and concentrated treatment of the invaders.
But as the number of invaders continued to increase, the clergy and doctors were simply too busy, and eventually even teachers and students were mobilized.
Kaxiu was assigned to the Eastern District, responsible for maintaining order and assisting in treatment. Because of his weak strength, Shang Ke did not arrange any tasks and stayed at home to accompany Pupu.
However, the home is not very safe, because his neighbor was suddenly invaded by demonic energy.
Fortunately, the neighbors are just ordinary people, and Shang Ke didn't spend much effort. After helping him absorb the magic energy, he returned to normal, but this move attracted a series of intruders who asked for treatment.
The reason is that after the neighbor was rescued, he spared no effort to help Shang Ke to spread the word, saying that he is a very powerful healer, possessing miraculous healing techniques, natural and painless, and is the first choice for all intruders who are troubled by demonic energy. . So in the next few days, people came to look for Shang Ke one after another, even those who were not seriously invading the body, all came to join in the fun.
Kaxiu took time to help Shang Ke drive away a group of guys who were not looking for trouble.
But Shang Ke, a professional householder of death, upholds the principle of "sacrifice and devotion" to the Virgin Mary. When Kaxiu found out that something was wrong, Shang Ke was holding his last breath and sucking magic from a moderate intruder.
"Shang Ke, enough!" Kaxiu shouted eagerly.
At this time, Tylor happened to bring a few clergymen over. When they saw Shang Ke's body surrounded by demonic energy, one hand was still tightly grasping the wrist of the other person, and it seemed that they were preparing to "kill", so they one The cleric didn't even think about it, he raised his stick and smashed it on Shang Ke's head.
"Stop!" Kaxiu and Tylor shouted at the same time, but there was no time to stop them, so they could only watch as Shang Ke was knocked to the ground by the cleric.
Shang Ke only felt a pain in the back of his head, secretly shouting "not good"! He had thought about all kinds of ways to die that he might encounter in this world, but the only thing he didn't expect was an inelegant way to die at all!
He lost consciousness for a while, then fell into darkness.
"Shang Ke." Kaxiu and Tylor rushed to Shang Ke's side and were about to help him up, when the clergyman on the side immediately stopped him: "Don't touch him, he is already deeply invasive and cannot be cured."
"You know shit!" Kaxiu scolded angrily.
The clergyman was stunned for a few seconds, then reacted and said, "Although I understand your feelings, this is my responsibility. If you find a deep intruder, you must deal with it immediately."
"He's not deeply invading the body, he's saving people!" Kaxiu saw Shang Ke lying motionless on the ground, his long hair covering the ground, and bloodstains slowly seeping out from his hair, like a blood-colored flower blooming . Kaxiu felt a trace of fear in his heart, and he almost dared not go up to confirm.
"Saving people?" the clergyman snorted coldly, "Are you joking?"
"You tmd see for yourself!" Kaxiu yelled and pointed to the other side.
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and the person who was caught by Shang Ke just now had regained his senses and was staring blankly at everyone. Seeing Shang Ke lying on the ground, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with Teacher Shang Ke? ?"
"He just wanted to hurt you," said the clergyman.
"Who said that?" the man said angrily. "He saved my daughter, and now he saves me."
"Saved you? How is that possible?" the clergyman said in disbelief, "He is a demonic intruder."
"He's not, I'm." The man continued to explain, "He sucked all the magic out of me."
This sentence made everyone stunned. When he looked at Shang Ke again, he found that his hand had not been released, but the demonic energy in his body showed no signs of being leaked, but was gradually integrated into his body.
"What's going on?" Tylor saw something strange and turned to look at Kaxiu.
Kaxiu carefully lifted Shang Ke, his face lost the old smile, and said solemnly: "Do you know why Osari, who used to be powerful in the past, has become the weak Shang Ke today? Because he uses himself as a container. , inhale other people's demonic energy into one's own body, and then suppress it with one's own will."
Tylor's eyes flashed with shock.
Others were also incredulous.
"Shang Ke saved countless people and suffered enormous pain every day, but even so, he did not give up hope of survival, and now, he died at your hands!" Kaxiu angrily glared at the cleric who attacked just now. , with tears in his eyes.
Hearing the word "death", Tylor's heart suddenly clenched, feeling inexplicably tight in his chest and tingling in his temples.
The cleric was chilled by Kaxiu's sight, and retorted: "I have never heard of a normal person who would take the initiative to inhale demonic energy into his body, and there are only two consequences of doing so, either madness to death, or Fallen into the devil's apostle."
He didn't believe that someone could suppress such a strong demonic energy with will and faith alone.
At this moment, a clergyman walked in from the outside and reported with a strange expression: "My lord, I took someone to visit the neighborhood, and I didn't find a single intruder."
"No? Did someone lie about the news?"
"This..." the man who had just been cured said, "I'm sorry, I think this is the case. We originally had more than a dozen intruders here, and the situation was serious and serious. In the end, they were all treated by Teacher Shang Ke. Okay. It was three days ago when we reported the news. If there was no teacher Shang Ke, when you arrived, the place would probably be in chaos..."
"You said a dozen people, he only took three days to heal all of them?" The clergy was in disbelief. In other words, this person absorbed the demonic energy of more than a dozen people in three days. If you were an ordinary person, I'm afraid I'd already be crazy. How could anyone in the world use such self-sacrifice to heal others? This requires a great deal of will and faith.
"Dad." Pupu came out of the corner, crouched beside Shang Ke, grabbed his cold hand, and called out carefully, "Dad, Daddy."
Shang Ke was lying in Kaxiu's arms, all the demonic energy had been inhaled into his body, his expression was serene, his face was fair, his lips were red and dripping, like a short-lived flower that bloomed in the middle of the night.
"Dad, Daddy."
In the silent room, only the sound of an anxious voice could be heard.
Kaxiu put his ear against Shang Ke's chest, and could only feel a slight residual warmth, but there was no heartbeat.
His shoulders were loose and he whimpered, not daring to accept the fact. Such a cheerful, kind, and strong person died like this
Tylor's face was gloomy, and he shouted angrily at the clergy next to him: "What are you doing, hurry up and save people!"
When everyone heard the words, they immediately recovered their senses, and hurried over to save people.
But as soon as they surrounded him, they saw Shang Ke coughing violently and resurrected from suspended animation.
Kaxiu was ecstatic and hugged Shang Ke. Pupu also rushed over and hung it on Shang Ke's arm.
Tylor breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that the haze in his heart was dissipated, and his heartbeat returned to normal.
In fact, Shang Ke was indeed on the verge of death just now, and his soul had already left his body. Originally, he thought that this mission would fail. Later, he suddenly remembered that in the first world, his body was frozen and his soul was out of the body once, but after touching his body, he was sucked back again. So he guessed that the soul can be resurrected as long as it returns to the body in a short period of time.
So he tried it, and it returned smoothly. As for what happened later, he no longer had the strength to pay attention to it.
Anyway, his real purpose has been achieved, that is to make everyone believe that will and faith can suppress the devil, and this is the only way to seal the Devil's Tree...
When Shang Ke woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
He looked around and found himself in a luxuriously decorated bedroom. Pupu lay beside him, tugging at his sleeve, and slept soundly.
Shang Ke sat up, only to feel weak and weak, and his brain was dizzy.
He lay back again, as still as a corpse.
"You're awake." A familiar voice suddenly came from the side.
Shang Ke turned his head to look, and saw Tylor wearing a fancy dress, standing upright by the bed, staring at him intently.
"Tyro? Where is this?" Shang Ke asked in a hoarse voice.
"My mansion." Tylor replied.
"Why am I here? Where is Kaxiu?"
"He's fine, you'll stay in my mansion for a while, and wait until the situation outside stabilizes." Tylor seemed to be comforting, "The devilish storm will pass soon."
"Why should I live in your mansion?" Shang Ke continued to ask.
"Safety."
Shang Ke: "... How can I be safe beside you, the opponent who defeated me?"
"We don't necessarily have to be rivals."
"What do you do then?"
"Friends, comrades in arms, or..." Tylor said seriously, "Lovers."
