Chapter 228 (Plot harmony, re-added) The wheels move forward, people should look forward
"Another year."
Luo Shui pushed open the door and was greeted by a smell of sulfur, and couldn't help but sigh.
Sixteen years ago, he was reborn into this world.
I was an orphan in my previous life, and I am an orphan in this life too.
Because he was abandoned by the Luo River, the Luocheng Orphanage gave him a very literary name, Luoshui.
How should I put it? If outsiders see this name, it is actually a bit unlucky.
But he quite likes this name. After all, Luoshui has a special charm for the Chinese cultural circle, such as "The Goddess of Luo River", "The River Map and Luoshu", or "The Oath of Luoshui" (brackets smile + dog head gesture).
The name is just a code name. In his previous life, the orphanage named him Li Zhongren, which sounds good, but people who know history will make fun of him, saying that he is the King of Guangxi. He was also confused at first, but after checking, he found out that it was pronounced the same as the name of the warlord in the Republic of China.
Of course, that was all in the past.
The wheels move forward, and people should look forward.
At the moment, the world he was in, if his guess was correct, was a novel he had read in his previous life, called "My Lord, Spare Me Your Life". To put it simply, it was the story of an old monster's reincarnation.
And that old monster was Lu Shu, his neighbor and childhood friend. They both grew up in the Luocheng Orphanage. Lu Shu was a cold-faced person with a warm heart. If you got along well with him, you would find that he was a warm-hearted man, except that he had a big mouth.
So, they would chat from time to time. For example, one time, he pretended to ask Lu Shu casually, "Why do you have a walnut hanging around your neck? Was it a gift from your girlfriend?"
He clearly said that he picked it up.
Yes, I picked it up.
But if I remember correctly, in the original book, this necklace was the key to unlock his bloodline abilities prepared by his subordinates for him after his reincarnation.
He could tell that Lu Shu was not joking.
Therefore, the conclusion is that this world is the world of "My Lord, Spare Me" for sure, but not completely. If this necklace can still allow Lu Shu to gain superpowers, then the definition of this thing is more like the urban fantasy novels of the early days, something that alien civilization dropped on the earth, etc.
In the original novel, Lu Shu’s identity may not be the same as in the real world.
However, whether it is or not is not important.
That was Lu Shu's business, not his.
For him, the important thing is that he should be clear that this world may not be exactly the same as the world in the novel, so he should be careful about the things related to the other world. After all, without this part of the setting, no one knows what will happen to the plot that originally belonged to the puppeteer.
"Aunt Lin."
Across the yard, Luo Shui saw Aunt Lin hanging clothes to dry. Her full name was Lin Yue, and she was the old man's daughter-in-law. Lu Shu's home was right between theirs.
Of course, Aunt Lin has another identity. She is a member of the foundation. Her father-in-law is the chief director of the foundation. He didn't want to live here at first because he has super powers and it would be easy for him to be discovered under the noses of these two people. But the house was found by the orphanage. It is cheap and the configuration is quite complete. If you say you don't want to live here, then you must have a reason.
He couldn't tell her because the person next door to me was the chief director of the Mysterious World Foundation, and I was afraid of being discovered.
I had no choice but to stay there and hold my nose.
Fortunately, his superpower is quite special, and he named it "Hidden".
Unlike invisibility, this ability is more like losing one's sense of existence. Even if you are walking around in front of him, he will not react at all. Even if he appears in the surveillance video or even when watching the video afterwards, no one will notice him. It can be said to be a somewhat conceptual magical ability.
Of course, this ability is not truly invincible. That is, if he does nothing, no one will notice him, but if he does something, the results will vary depending on the size of the thing he does. Basically, the bigger the thing he does, the greater the consequences, and the more difficult it will be to hide himself.
But the good news is that 'before that incident' and 'after that incident', he will continue to hide, and only at that moment will he expose himself.
As for the reason for awakening, perhaps it was because he knew that the world would be filled with spiritual energy and demons in the future, so he wanted to have the ability to protect himself. And it just so happened that he seemed to have this trait in his previous life, that is, adaptability.
Therefore, in this world full of spiritual energy, he adapted to develop this ability. It was precisely because of the characteristics of this ability itself that until now, Li Xianyi had not discovered that he was a transcendent.
He was not on guard against Li Xianyi. Whether it was from the original novel or his observations over the past few years, he was certain that Li Xianyi was a good person. Unfortunately, the Foundation and the officials of the Great Xia Empire were not on the same page.
Therefore, at this stage, Luo Shui has no intention of having anything to do with him.
This is a question of the butt deciding the head.
The Great Xia Empire in this world is actually a projection of the Rabbit Kingdom in his original world. At least in the plot, most people are worthy of admiration. Not to mention those high-ranking nets, even those D-level transcendents are willing to destroy their own future and use the Hundred-Step Flying Sword in order to target those transcendents who dare to commit crimes.
He knew he couldn't do just this.
Therefore, his plan for himself is to follow the protagonist to join the national team and eat the emperor's food, which can also be regarded as making a contribution to the motherland of this world. After all, he grew up in an orphanage funded by the state, and he must repay the grace of raising him. This is also his character, no matter whether it is a favor or a grudge, he will repay it.
"Xiao Luo, what are you doing?"
Aunt Lin was collecting clothes that had been hanging out to dry all day. When she saw Luo Shui, she greeted him.
"There are a lot of people at the temple fair this year. The temple keeper just called me and asked me to help look after the place. Auntie, have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet. Your Grandpa Li and I aren't very hungry, so we just want to have a quick bite to eat in the evening."
"You still have to eat on time. How is the old man's illness?"
"Ah, it's still the same. I drink this herbal medicine every day, but it doesn't get better. But I can still breathe."
"Ha ha."
"As for you, Xiao Luo, let's just forget about what happened in the past. I think you should stay out of these things."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm a good fighter."
As he spoke, Luo Shui also showed off his biceps, although they didn't look that good.
"Then I'm leaving, Aunt Lin. See you later."
"See you later."
"It's a pity."
In the room, there was a cough of an old man. Naturally, this man was the chairman of the foundation, Li Xianyi.
"He has a mind as solid as a rock, and a ruthless yet measured personality. He is actually the most suitable person to learn my swordsmanship. Unfortunately, I don't sense any talent in him. If you want to enter the realm of transcendence, you need spiritual roots. Without this, you will be like Shi Xuejin, with only talent in vain."
“It’s not like there’s no chance at all.”
Aunt Lin packed Li Xianyi's clothes neatly and stacked them up one by one.
"Now the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has recovered to a certain level. I heard that the Great Xia Empire has decided to relax its control. And as you know, according to ancient records, every time the spiritual energy is qualitatively improved, all intelligent life will have a chance to awaken. This time, you will have the opportunity to awaken regardless of whether you have spiritual roots or not."
"Haha, the chances are so slim."

"Lu Shu, I want to eat candied haws."
At dusk, at the Luocheng Temple Fair, Lu Xiaoyu held Lu Shu's hand, but his eyes were fixed on the candied haws not far away, and saliva was even flowing from the corners of his mouth.
"Xiao Yu, have you forgotten that I bought you a down jacket? The money we have is not enough."
"Lü Shu, you have changed."
"Get lost and stop watching Korean soap operas"
However, even though Lu Shu said this, he still took out a crumpled bill from his pocket.
"Lu Shu, I don't want to eat anymore."
Suddenly, Lu Xiaoyu grabbed Lu Shu's hand again.
"So what?" Lu Shu was about to ask Lu Xiaoyu, what do you want, eating one moment and not eating the next, then he followed Lu Xiaoyu's gaze and looked not far away.
He was his classmate, and they grew up together as children; after all, they were from the same orphanage.
Luoshui.
A name that would seem unlucky once you leave Los Angeles.
He had sleeves on his arms with the word "management" written on them, but he was rummaging through the trash can as if no one was around, taking out cans and plastic bottles and stuffing them into the bag he was carrying. Behind him, several old ladies and old men had gloomy looks on their faces. After all, when it came to speed, how could they be a match for the young people?
"Hey"
Lu Shu secretly gave a thumbs up.
Although he also sets up stalls, this is his limit. He would never bring himself to rummage through trash cans.
The fact is, because of this, no one even wants to sit at the same table with him, and everyone who passes by him will even cover their noses, even though he doesn't have any smell on him. How can plastic bottles and cans have any smell? But even so, he didn't see even the slightest emotional fluctuation on Luo Shui's face. Yes, he really didn't care about these things.
Of course, even though he doesn't care, if someone gets angry with him, he will still let that person know why the flowers are so red.
Logically speaking, people like Luo Shui would definitely be bullied in school.
This was actually true. Someone had indeed caused trouble for him and he had dealt with him. Then that person gathered a group of idle people outside the school and came back to continue to seek revenge on him.
As it turned out, he got a screwdriver from somewhere.
Let these people go to Hades' hometown together.
Afterwards, their families came to cause trouble, and he set them up as a trap and sent them to Hades' hometown.
After all, a family should be together.
The most important thing is that he is twelve years old. He understands everything he knows, and he cannot say anything about what he does not understand. The waters here are very deep. If you understand, then you understand. If you don’t understand, then you can only not understand.
From then on, no one dared to trouble him anymore.
After all, when anyone hears about such a young man, your first reaction is to feel cold feet.
Of course, he was not included, because he had a good relationship with Luo Shui, and he knew that he was the kind of person who would treat anyone who treated him well even better, and would kill anyone who had a grudge against him.
As if he saw his gaze, Luo Shui crushed the can, stuffed it into the bag hanging behind his butt, and walked over staggeringly.
"What? Are you visiting the temple fair with your sister?"
"Ah, you are here to maintain order?"
"Well, there are a lot of people here today, and the old temple keeper was afraid that someone might cause trouble, so he asked me to come over and take a look."
"I see."
Hearing this, Lu Shu nodded. Yes, even though no one in the school dared to communicate with Luo Shui except him because of what happened that year, many people outside the school were willing to invite him over.
This is another source of income for him besides picking up scraps.
Whether you are opening a business or getting married, if you encounter a rogue or a beggar, as long as Luoshui stands in front of you, they will all behave themselves. Damn it, you are scared just thinking about it.
"Good evening, little fish."
"good evening."
However, what made Lu Shu a little strange was that Lu Xiaoyu was not afraid of Luoshui.
"Let's go, brother will treat you to candied haws."
"really?"
"Xiaoyu, don't..."
"What do you mean by "what do you mean by "? Please treat the children to candied haws. Don't fight with me. Tell me, Xiaoyu, which one do you want to eat?"
"I want the one with the walnuts."
"Walk."
"Ah this."
Seeing Lu Xiaoyu following Luo Shui to buy candied haws, Lu Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Of course, he wasn't worried that the unlucky child would be cheated, as she was very thoughtful. However, Luo Shui wasn't rich either, and she only had some extra money because if one person was well fed, the whole family would not be hungry.
"Roar~~"
Suddenly, cheers came from the stage in the distance, accompanied by exciting music. Lu Shu knew that the party had begun.
He and Lu Xiaoyu actually came for the party. The Los Angeles government said that it was to give back to the people, so the party would not charge admission.
"Lu Shu! Come on, if you don't come, you can't get in."
"I'm coming."
"Damn, this thing of yours is really useful."
Lu Shu originally thought that they would have to squeeze with the crowd, but in the end, Luo Shui, with the help of his sleeves, actually took the two of them to a side stage, where there were two small stools, where they could sit and watch. The only thing that was not beautiful was that the angle was not very good, but there was no need to squeeze with the crowd, and there was no need for a bicycle.
"Haha, that's enough, just watch here. I still have to go on patrol. See you later, Xiaoyu. Bye."
"Goodbye, Brother Luo."
"Tsk, tsk."
Lu Shu looked at Luo Shui, who was holding a candied haws with walnut kernels in each hand, and couldn't help but smack his lips.
"If I don't buy you food, I'm Lao Luo. If I buy you food, I'm Brother Luo, right?"
"Hey, Lu Shu, don't be jealous."
Lu Xiaoyu handed one of the candied haws to Lu Shu.
"You know, there is still a place for you in my heart."
"Go to hell."
"You can't bear it."
"I"
"You'd be even more reluctant to hit me."
"."
Some of the plot was harmonized
Basically someone bullied the protagonist and was killed by the protagonist
This plot was actually censored out of nowhere.
Speechless
