Chapter 68 Despair, Awakening
Chapter 68 Despair, Awakening
What did Lu Mingfei experience during his adolescence?
His parents gave his relatives living expenses, but they used all of it on themselves. What did he do? He was even looked down upon when he ate a meal. His living expenses earned his cousin the nickname "Prince Ze," but he himself had to rely on others to pay for his internet time at internet cafes and couldn't even afford a nutritional drink.
Most importantly, his aunt was always suppressing him. During the fight in junior high, even though both sides were at fault, he was forced to apologize to that jerk and was even punished by having to do chores.
His once straight spine was gradually bent under the weight.
"Harry is always being watched by Mrs. Figg, but what about me?" Huo Yuhao sighed. "The old man at the newsstand downstairs? The meter reader? Some street vendor? Some teacher at school?"
Huo Yuhao suddenly laughed sarcastically: "Mrs. Figg even babysits for the Dursleys occasionally!"
"But Headmaster, you're a bit stronger than Dumbledore. You're not afraid of this or that, and you're not afraid I'll become the Dark Lord... But you still have your tricks up your sleeve, Fingel, right?"
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt sad, but he couldn't explain why.
He was clearly telling someone else's story, but he seemed to be influenced by it.
So he looked down at his outstretched palm.
A pair of hands that have never experienced hardship.
But it was also these same hands that killed two pairs of dragon king twins.
Lu Mingfei is very strong.
Huo Yuhao suddenly had this idea.
The little devil only opened up a portion of the body's permissions, perhaps even less than a tenth of the shackles, but even so, it gave him the feeling that he could become stronger without limit.
Even if Lu Mingfei's parents are both S-class, he is at most a hybrid like Genji or Erii.
He shouldn't be this strong.
The little devil called Lu Mingfei "brother," Constantine called Norton "brother," and Jormungandr called Fenrir "brother"...
This nickname, "Little Devil," isn't given lightly.
The little devil said: I will give you four chances to summon me and grant you four wishes. When all your wishes are granted, or when you feel lonely in this world, my contract to serve you will be dissolved, and your life will belong to me.
The little devil emphasized: This condition only takes effect when you personally admit that you feel lonely, and not just ordinary loneliness, but desperate... loneliness.
Huo Yuhao thought loneliness was the influence of the sorrow of blood, but why did the little devil emphasize "despair"?
The little devil doesn't seem to want Lu Mingfei to despair.
So what will happen if Lu Mingfei despairs?
"I'm really curious..."
Angers thought Huo Yuhao was asking why he was being monitored, but he didn't answer.
He simply said, "Fingal was once the pride of the academy, but bringing you together was not my plan."
Angers simply acquiesced.
"Everyone has secrets. I've lived long enough and now I'm in a high enough position, so those past events will always be dug up." Angers turned his head to look at the clear sky after the rain and said, "But no one is an all-knowing and all-powerful God, unable to know everyone's secrets."
Omniscient and omnipotent...
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a pang in his heart.
This word was very appealing to him.
And then there's Skadi, whom Angers mentioned earlier, the youngest of the three Fates, a goddess who uses scissors to end fate.
The God of Fate...?
Huo Yuhao subconsciously raised his hand and touched his brow.
He should have had a third eye on his own body, between his eyebrows. After he formed a destiny connection with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, that eye evolved into the Eye of Destiny.
He thought, if he could grasp the power of destiny within the Eye of Destiny, if he could control destiny, and then control the power of time, he could manipulate the past and future, know all the truths in infinite time, and learn all skills…
Is he an omniscient and omnipotent person?
A strong ambition flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
"What a surprise!" The little devil suddenly appeared, sitting on the edge of the rooftop, his leather-shoe-clad feet dangling hundreds of meters in the air.
"You never seem to think of me as Lu Mingze?" The little devil tilted his head.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Angers, who seemed to have stood still in time, before answering the little devil: "You just need a name. It could be Lu Mingze, or it could be Lu Mingye... You want to be similar to Lu Mingfei."
The little devil nodded: "Yes, of course my brother and I have to be related!"
"You always see things too clearly." The little devil tilted his head, his dark golden eyes filled with curiosity. "Is it only like this in this world?"
"Probably," Huo Yuhao laughed. "In Douluo Continent, I don't have much of a brain besides combat and soul tools."
It's not that Huo Yuhao doesn't understand social etiquette; it's just that he lacks experience in this area.
Although his environment was dangerous, it was actually relatively simple.
"The biggest scheme I've ever encountered was probably Tang San's scheming," Huo Yuhao said, now completely at ease. "But perhaps he just needs an obedient son-in-law?"
Although the methods were somewhat brutal, they weren't entirely incomprehensible.
He was unaware of the "arrangements" Tang San had made for Xiao Qi, so he only thought of Tang San as a doting father who strongly disliked the idea of him being a son-in-law.
"Oh, so you're finally willing to tell me about your experience?"
Huo Yuhao was taken aback. He realized that he hadn't actually told the little devil about his own experiences.
"I thought you could see my past without me having to say anything."
"I'm not the kind of person who snoops on other people's privacy." The little devil stretched out his right index finger and waved it from side to side.
Huo Yuhao looked at him quietly without saying a word.
"Okay," the little devil shrugged. "I can't see your past."
Is it because of the privacy protection provided by the "project team"?
Huo Yuhao looked away.
"It's roughly the story of a revenge-seeking boy with extremely poor talent who gradually becomes a genius but loses himself."
Now, when he recalls what happened in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, he still finds it somewhat unbelievable.
Why would he risk his life for a chance to save Wang Dong'er when he was carrying so many expectations?
Of course he loves Wang Dong'er, and he is willing to give everything for her if he can. But that doesn't mean he will give up avenging his mother for her sake, or let down Tianmeng, Bingdi, Xuedi, and his teacher for her sake!
"I even forgot about my mom and teacher..."
His revenge is nothing short of a joke.
And then there's the teacher, who clearly planned to resurrect the teacher after becoming a god!
The little devil remained silent, and Huo Yuhao also did not speak.
But not long after, Huo Yuhao suddenly laughed: "I don't know if I'm sober right now, or if my guess is right, but those things don't matter..."
