Lord of Eternal Darkness

Li Xiaoming walked into the bathroom listlessly. As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by a burst of steam.

There was hot water in the bathtub. It seemed that Dongfang Qingxiu was just about to take a bath when he suddenly came to disturb her.

Now that I think about it, I feel a little sorry for that guy. He gave you a room and gave you bath water. What a nice guy.

She can also wash clothes, cook, act coquettishly, give massages, and play games. She is kind-hearted and never messes around. She is a standard good wife at home. Unfortunately, she is a man.

After Li Xiaoming took off his clothes, his naked body was covered with shocking scars, some were old wounds from the past, and some were new wounds added today.

There were still traces of blood on the newly healed wounds, and the burns on his back were still unhealed, making them look pitch black.

This wasn't the first time he'd been injured so badly, but it certainly wouldn't be the last, unless it was the day he died.

There was a long red snake embroidered on the arm, which was wrapped around the arm and lifelike. However, the face of the snake head was a little blurry, and there was still light emitting from the top of the head.

It doesn't look like it's a tattoo. I looked at the red snake in a daze as if it was swimming, but it didn't move at all. Maybe it was just an illusion caused by the traction of human muscles.

He touched the water and felt it was a little cold, so he added some scalding hot water into it and felt it was a little hot before he felt comfortable.

I looked back at the anti-radiation agent on the washstand. It is made by adding a certain proportion of vitamin A, plant selenium, lycopene, and tea polyphenols. It can be applied externally or taken internally.

This thing is not very expensive and is available in ordinary people's homes. After all, the radiated river water is used for domestic water, bathing, and drinking water. The body will inevitably produce a certain amount of radiation.

There is also a box of black crystal compound iodine pills placed next to it. I usually put one in for use when taking a shower.

Li Xiaoming also used it without hesitation, throwing the two materials directly into the boiling hot water.

What happened today?

I always feel dizzy. Could it be a side effect of ulcer disease?

Or is the body exposed to a small amount of red moon radiation and pollution from the river water?

I have to change my status tomorrow and stop being so stupid.

Putting his feet in, the strong heat suddenly spread from the soles of his feet back to his brain, so hot that he almost didn't react.

"Yeah! Yeah...it's so hot!"

But he gritted his teeth and persisted, soaking his whole body in it. The wounds that were being healed on the body all burst open due to this stimulation, directly dyeing the water in the entire bathtub into a red soup of blood.

He lay aimlessly in the bathtub, looking at the steam-filled ceiling, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.

"That's it, it's comfortable."

The pores of the body's muscles are opening and closing regularly, as if breathing.

The virus radiation in the river water needs to be cleaned up. Although it is not much, it may bury some hidden dangers and the wounds will be infected by bacteria. Therefore, the hard-core method of disinfection with high temperature is used to train the body's recovery speed.

The originally depressed mood suddenly became excited. The injured parts of the body were healing at an accelerated pace, and the scars quickly scabbed off, revealing fair skin.

Some old injuries have become integrated with the body due to age and have not been effectively repaired.

The high temperature has boiled his body as red as a crayfish, and the water temperature of nearly 70 degrees has left him in a state of hallucination, floating in the mist, thinking about ways to make money.

It is best to make money quickly and make a lot of money. Which one of the Imperial Codes has the highest judgment, the more money you will make.

Well, I don’t have the guts.

Should the restaurant in hand be closed? Or go exploring outside the city to do some scientific research. It seems that there is not enough time for school to start soon. The rewards for this year's entrance exam should be valuable.

Now that the medicine is in hand, I won’t bother my old friend.

With a snap of his fingers, his body began to dissipate, and his consciousness returned to the body that existed in reality.

When I opened my eyes again, I went from the comfortable and clean apartment bathroom to this small and shabby room again. It was really hard to accept.

I took out the medicine I needed from the shared portable space. After taking it, I felt refreshed and my blood color returned to normal.

Of course, this portable space is not his own ability, but given by his summoned beast.

He felt hungry and went to eat.

Looking at the cold steamed buns on the table, I grabbed them and ate them without hesitation.

Wowotou is called delicious. What's the point of eating black bread all the time? I don't understand those people.

Served with pickled mustard, salted duck eggs, and a glass of cold boiled water, I immediately felt physically and mentally better. Although I only had two meals a day, I was still a little hungry.

As soon as I thought of this, I wanted to go to the toilet. At this moment, I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

Li Xiaoming ignored him, fastened his belt slowly, washed his hands and dried them, then lay back on the bed.

Seeing no response from the people inside, a sigh came from outside the door.

"Xiao Ming, I came to see you. I also bought you a quilt by the way. The weather is getting colder. Please pay more attention to your health." It was the kind voice of the old man.

"If you are really sincere, then open the door yourself and bring me the quilt."

Li Xiaoming's tone was full of ridicule. If it weren't for this little old man, why would he be locked up here.

"Hey, do you think of me as a bad guy? After all, you have been a part of this place since you were a child. You have helped so much for free over the years. I really want to save you, so I hid you here. They must still be secretly there If I’m going to hunt you down, it’s better for you to hide here instead of going out and taking the limelight.”

Hearing what the old man said, Li Xiaoming felt a headache. The old man's thoughts were really so simple.

"Dean, I know you are good to me, but you don't understand the current situation. If you hide me here, you will only bring destruction to yourself. Once those two groups find this place, they will definitely cause a lot of trouble. Yes, let me go as soon as possible."

The face of the white-haired old man outside the door is full of sorrow, and the iron door in front of him isolates the world inside.

His voice was not as firm as before, "I don't know what to do. I just want to save you. You are a good boy. The God of Holy Light will bless you. After all, this is a place funded by the Holy Cross. Even if you know , they definitely don’t dare to mess around.”

The Qidian Orphanage sponsored by the Holy Cross Church accommodates nearly a thousand orphans and is the largest orphanage in Anzu City.

The orphanage has no other income and can only rely on donations from celebrities in society, so the children's food is sometimes good or bad. It also has to ensure the children's education, which costs a lot of money.

And most of those children who have gone out from here and achieved something are just white-eyed wolves. After all, no one wants to admit that they are orphans.

And there are bullying incidents in the orphanage, after all, it accepts all the needy children in the city.

The number of caregivers and teachers is pitifully small, and it is impossible to take care of all the children to the best of their ability.

Li Xiaoming is considered an acquaintance of the children here.

I also care a lot about this place. Even if I need to buy medicine to treat illnesses, I will still provide a lot of support.

The meals provided before were all big fish and meat, especially when resources were scarce. He was afraid that the children's nutrition would not be able to keep up, so under his strong request, they were replaced with simple meals for common people.

Li Xiaoming didn't want to say anything. Indeed, it seemed that this place was the safest at present.

Several high-ranking figures in the empire once joined the army from here and achieved great success, so no one dared to take advantage of this place.

But the thing predicted in the dream might cause trouble, so he was going out and had no time to say goodbye to the old dean. He could only thank him for taking care of him in recent days.

"By the way, Dean, has anyone sent anything to the orphanage?" Li Xiaoming suddenly shouted.

The old dean smiled broadly when he heard what the other party was saying.

"You kid are so well-informed. I don't know who asked for it by name, and no one has contacted me recently. When I saw your name written on the label of the small medicine bottle, I came over to deliver a quilt."

I am getting old and will soon retire, but this little guy still respects me as before.

The new arrivals at the orphanage don't take themselves to heart at all, and their attitude towards the children has become much worse. I really don't know how long I can carry it.

He saw it in his eyes, but he was unable to do anything. Now he just wanted to do as much as possible for Xiao Ming.

This child has been different from others since he was a child. He is particularly sensible and smart, and has his own unique insights into everything. He will definitely become an excellent manager in the future.

Yes, from the very beginning, he regarded Li Xiaoming as his sole heir.

Of course, it would be better if he believed in the God of Holy Light. I really hope that he would inherit this orphanage after completing his studies and cultivate these children into talents of the empire according to his own wishes.

Li Xiaoming glanced out the window and said slowly: "It's almost dawn, and it's time for me to get up and study. Those children still need your teaching."

The dean said: "Then I won't disturb you in your study."

The dean turned and left, walking farther and farther away.

Li Xiaoming looked at the iron door and originally wanted to kick it open, but the door was broken and he had to pay to repair it himself.

I am going to choose a gentle method and use another wire to pry it open.

"My wish will eventually come true, and I will give the most beautiful funeral song to this suffering world! No one can stop me, and the world will give in!"
