As someone who prioritizes killing others, I'm forced to stream a death game.

Chapter 146 Should I go back to school next year?

It's not wrong to say it's for Superman.

After all, even disregarding his state in "Eternal Night," Liu Ren's current stats in reality far exceed those of ordinary people.

If we use a single attribute for anchoring to classify the levels.

He now possesses the strength of a peak Shadow-level monster solely through his physical power.

If you were a little more diligent, you could kill more monsters.

Once your overall attributes reach 70 points, you've basically entered the Spirit Wraith level.

"Look, that's what He Xuan said!" Liu Mucheng stared at Liu Ren and questioned, "You're not just playing with me, are you? You're happy to make me all sweaty and exhausted, aren't you?"

Am I really that bad?

"Who knows? Aren't people who are possessed by demons said to have higher desires in certain aspects than ordinary people?" Liu Mucheng smoothed her hair and said casually, "With your strength, it's not impossible that your desires are several times greater than those of other people who are possessed by demons."

"While what you said is true, the influence of low-level monsters is not enough to cause someone to completely lose control. If someone does lose control, it's mostly because of what they think in their mind."

Liu Ren calmly gave his explanation, his tone unwavering.

What he said is also the reason why crime rates in various countries have been rising during this period.

Although people with weak minds usually have weak mental strength, they are not likely to become possessors of evil spirits.

However, with such a large human population, there will always be many exceptions.

For example, perpetrators of certain heinous crimes.

They are determined, have strong willpower, and are filled with desires far exceeding those of ordinary people.

Once these people become possessed, they will be even more troublesome than ordinary possessed criminals.

"Even if I really lose control, I won't target my own sister, don't worry," Liu Ren added.

"Humph."

For some reason, Liu Mucheng wasn't very happy.

He Xuan sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off and immediately said, "Mr. Liu, could you teach me your movement technique? I'd like to become your apprentice!"

"Don't you have a grandfather who is a master of Tongmingquan? Why do you need to learn from others?" Liu Mucheng was the first to respond.

“But even Grandpa is no match for President Liu.” He Xuan said a few words that He Tian would probably raise his cane to beat her if he heard them.

Silly girl, you're just going to throw away your own grandfather like that?

Although what he said was indeed the truth.

But sometimes the truth is more hurtful than a lie.

“His approach is for Superman; you can’t learn it,” Liu Mucheng tried to refute He Xuan’s request from another angle. “Or do you think you are Superman?”

“No, I’m not. Although I don’t meet the entry requirements, the skills are all interconnected! Mastering more skills will be very beneficial in the future. So, is that alright?” He Xuan’s determination to become Liu Ren’s apprentice was quite firm, and she asked Liu Ren again.

“Sure.” Liu Ren didn’t refuse. “However, even in terms of technique, the threshold for my movement technique is very high. Whether you can comprehend it, and how much you can comprehend, depends on yourself.”

"Yay! Thank you, Master!" He Xuan was so happy she almost jumped up on the spot.

She just tried it out of curiosity, but she didn't expect Liu Ren to actually agree.

Indeed, there are advantages to being a reckless person.

Many opportunities that are not dared to be seized due to timidity will be missed by the timid.

But a brute would not.

She will recklessly stumble through all the pitfalls while simultaneously reaping all the benefits that others cannot.

"There's no need to call me master; I have no intention of taking on any disciples."

"That won't do! The one who imparts knowledge and teaches skills is the teacher! Please let me complete the apprenticeship ceremony!"

"That kind of thing doesn't work anymore. Just call me teacher. The idea of ​​imparting knowledge and skills isn't that sacred anymore. If you can learn anything, that's your skill."

"How could it not be popular? If Grandpa, that old-fashioned man, heard that, he would definitely fly into a rage."

"It's alright, your grandpa can't beat me."

"Hahaha~ That's right! Then I'll call you teacher from now on! Teacher, please accept my bow!"

"Don't--"

Seeing He Xuan's actions, Liu Ren thought she was about to kneel down and kowtow to him, so he quickly reached out and grabbed her arm.

As it turned out, He Xuan only bent over at a 90-degree angle, without actually kneeling down.

She looked up and gave Liu Ren, who was speechless, a sly smile.

"Hehe~ Just kidding~"

"...It's best not to make jokes like that."

Liu Ren let out a long breath and made arrangements for Liu Mucheng and He Xuan, whose expressions were inexplicably cold: "It's already very late, so let's dismiss them for now—I will be here teaching you two movement techniques from tomorrow until New Year's Day."

"Okay, thank you, teacher! By the way, what's the name of this movement technique?" He Xuan asked.

"Invisible and without shadow."

"Was it something the teacher used in 'Eternal Night'?"

"Hmm...you watched the video of 'Eternal Night'?"

"No~" He Xuan dodged the question, "After all, I'm not old enough yet~ hehe."

"..."

You'd better really not have it.

Jiuhuang maintains very strict control over this aspect.

There are some things you can't do if you haven't reached the specified age.

Just like in Japan, people can't drink alcohol until they're a certain age.

but……

However, Jiuhuang's rules are not strictly enforced in practice.

If you really want to, you can still find a way to bypass the restrictions.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be discussed openly.

So Liu Ren didn't press the matter and just accepted it as such.

"Alright, let's go home."

"Okay~ Goodbye, teacher! Ah, Mu Cheng too."

"Don't call me that so intimately, we're not even friends," Liu Mucheng replied coldly.

"Hey, I thought we were already the closest of friends."

"No, they were just strangers I'd fought with."

"How indifferent, Mu Cheng. See you tomorrow~"

"..."

Liu Mucheng had absolutely no desire to talk to this person.

She's starting to dislike people who're overly familiar with others.

She looks exactly like Zheng Kexin.

Ah, of course.

She also dislikes Zheng Kexin.

Although I haven't seen that guy for a while, he always says in Yunlian that he came up with his own ideas.

If it weren't for her family's strict control, Zheng Kexin would have run away long ago.

She said that there would be no problem if they were guests at the Liu family's house.

However, all of Liu Mucheng's requests to stay overnight as guests were rejected.

This is her love for her friends.

It's so dangerous outside, why are you running around like that?

"correct."

On the way back, Liu Ren suddenly spoke up, "Next year, the safety level of Hualan City will return to what it was before the strange events. At that time, all the schools in the city may resume operations. Do you want to go back to school?"

"Next year? Go back to school?" Liu Mucheng never expected to hear the word "school" again. "I'm already the head of the archives department, why would I go back to school? What about my job? Should I quit?"

"I believe you can manage both."

"You don't need to trust me too much in this kind of thing."

So, are we going back?

"...Let's see. If the school really reopens..."

"Heh, don't worry about that, there's a high chance they'll open the door."

Liu Ren was quite confident about this.

"why?"

"Because of the Zero Association's cooperation with the municipal government. If it wants to expand its cooperation with other places, maintaining basic security in a city is the minimum requirement. If it can't even do that, the Zero Association shouldn't continue operating."
