Male Succubus Apocalypse

Chapter 35 Determination

In the evening, the tavern finally closed. After a busy day, Xu Heng sat in the restaurant and was able to be a hands-off boss, letting his two apprentices cook.

He has always been the main force in the kitchen. The two apprentices are slow and unfamiliar with many dishes.

When it comes to cooking, the reason why Xu Heng is different from others is that he has been researching for forty years, and his recipes and processing methods are very advanced. He also combines his experience from his original life with the fact that the Chamber of Commerce can provide almost unlimited ingredients - Xu Heng buys them, so even if he can't find the seasonings, he can ask Vivian for them.

All he had to do was teach these to his disciples step by step. Moreover, these two disciples did not just learn from him for a short period of time, but started in the nest. However, in order to prevent the situation of "teaching the disciples and starving the master" from happening, Xu Heng did not teach in such detail and did not have enough time to teach.

Not long after, Krolitz, who had personally cleaned up the food in the restaurant, came running over.

"Krolitz, you're not going to stay here all night, are you?" When Xu Heng saw Krolitz, he stood up and tried to hide subconsciously as if he had seen the god of plague.

"Teacher Xu, if you want me to be here, I can be here too!" Krolitz didn't get too close, and said with a smile across the table.

"So can you just leave if I ask you to?"

"That's not OK."

Xu Heng was speechless. So he was going to stay here, wasn't he?

But after thinking about it, he said, "It just so happens that I have something to ask you now."

"Teacher, just ask!" Krolitz became excited.

"Julie is here too. Let me ask you two spiritual experts. I want to know if it is possible for the soul to maintain a certain form after a person dies, with memories or something." Xu Heng asked seriously.

"It's unnecessary for you to ask whether I'm here or not. Haven't I answered you this question before? The soul's essence will quickly dissipate when the body dies and there are no other means or other circumstances." Julie spoke first.

"No, there are no ghosts in the other world?" Xu Heng continued to ask.

"Ghost? You mean the vengeful spirits! They are alternative elemental creatures formed by dead air, not souls. They are a new form of life." Julie is an expert and answered easily.

The reason why Xu Heng asked this was that in the previous life, people's concept of the soul was different from that in the other world, and there was also the underworld, hell, reincarnation, and other metaphysical systems for the birth of new life that were completely opposite to the other world.

The other world is very direct. It tells the story that after a person dies, the soul will dissipate into a certain substance. This substance is the basis of magic, fighting spirit and other powers, and it also constitutes the soul. Because there are elemental creatures, dead air creatures and even fighting spirits, everyone thinks that the substance that makes up the soul is the same as the substance that makes up other energies.

Therefore, the way this world treats burials and commemorating the deceased is very different from that in the previous life. Since people in the other world do not believe in the existence of another world after death, they are more focused on the present and pursue a longer life.

Commemorating the dead is about commemorating their spirit and achievements. There will not be a situation where people pour out their hearts and minds at the tombstone. Instead, people will just say praises of the person’s life over and over again. This is a true form of remembrance.

"Teacher Xu Heng, what you mean is, is it possible for a person to leave some unique traces in this world after death? If so, it does exist in the spiritual system." Krolitz, who was listening nearby, spoke up.

"Huh? Really? Tell me about it!" Xu Heng's brows immediately lit up when he heard that.

"We in the Department of Psychology study the surface of the soul. Although we all admit that the soul will eventually dissolve, there will often be traces of the soul's existence left in the spiritual sea. For example, its family will remember it, what it said before its death, and what impact it caused. If the traces it left are large, mental imitation may occur." Krolitz put away his previous mischievous look and treated the problem with the seriousness that only a magician can have.

"Mental imitation? What does that mean?" Xu Heng became more and more curious.

"It is possible that someone may be overly influenced by the mental remains of the deceased and behave in a manner very similar to that of the deceased. We call this mental imitation," Krolitz replied.

Hearing this explanation, Xu Heng was disappointed again. This was not what he wanted.

Xu Heng himself is actually a special case. He was reincarnated from another world and carries the memories of another world.

This is his biggest secret.

Julie also said that his soul was different. Perhaps only the soul of the previous life could be so special? At present, Xu Heng did not have the confidence and courage to reveal this secret.

"Here it comes..." Krolitz's face darkened and he said in a low voice.

"What..." Xu Heng was puzzled.

Suddenly there was a loud "boom", and Xu Heng, whose heart was already under great pressure these days, was so scared that he wanted to curse.

From the restaurant, it looked like the door had been blown open.

Soma was seen wearing a blood-red suit that shone with the glow of scarlet blood, with armor that had strange edges and corners like thorns, and holding a long red scimitar in his hand. He rushed in with a ferocious face.

The next moment, a shadow floated in front of Xu Heng. Quessus, masked, appeared with several of his men, blocking Xu Heng and Krolitz behind him. He said in a heavy voice, "Sir Xu Heng, please leave! We can still stop a few more!"

what?

A thousand horses were galloping through Xu Heng's heart.

"Don't worry, teacher. She came for me. She also brought two holy artifacts of the blood clan. She was willing to risk her life for that little girl." Krolitz smiled, showing his usual fake smile and black-bellied expression, and whispered to Xu Heng, "But it's okay. It will only take me a little longer to kill her. It won't affect the tavern."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Xu Heng hurriedly spoke out to say something to stop it, but the words seemed to be stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter another word.

"That blind demigod! Come out here! I'll let you bully a kid! I'll chop you to pieces right now!" Soma didn't rush over as Xu Heng had imagined, but instead stood at the door, shouting loudly, his fangs flashing with blood, his eyes so red that they seemed to be bleeding.

But even with such a horrifying appearance, Xu Heng was really moved, because Soma did not intend to take action here, he just wanted to call people out and not hurt innocent people, otherwise the fight would have started long ago.

As expected of a member of the Lorist family!

"This girl is as ferocious as Clara. She doesn't ask the demigod from the tribe to come, but comes here to fight on her own. Even though she has the strength of a demigod, isn't she afraid of encountering an old monster?" Julie made a negative evaluation in Xu Heng's mind.

Then Xu Heng discovered something else. If Soma already had the strength of a demigod, he might have activated Vivian's detection array and directly summoned someone. When Vivian arrived, she would see Krolitz. He didn't dare to think about how chaotic the scene would be...

"Don't worry, teacher. I covered up all the magic circles yesterday! Now the entire tavern is filled with my magic circles!" Krolitz seemed to see Xu Heng's fear and said as if to take credit.

"Fuck! Do you feel so proud? You made my tavern look like your home!" Xu Heng completely exploded, unable to hold it in any longer. He just said it in his mind, not wanting Quess to hear it.

Because now Quess is facing a great enemy, he doesn't understand the situation, doesn't know why Soma came to attack him, and doesn't know who he is shouting at. He is ready to sacrifice himself.

We also need to notify Mr. Aaron and call for reinforcements...

"clap clap"

In the blink of an eye, all the men in black who had been on high alert just now fell to the ground.

Krolitz looked calm and said, "You're in the way," and was about to step forward when he found himself suddenly caught.

"Stop fighting! We were beaten up by Clara. We were at fault!" Xu Heng quickly hugged Krolitz's hand and refused to let go, yelling.

"The teacher is really cute. She can even tell right from wrong." Krolitz laughed inexplicably happily. This time, his laugh was very sincere. He turned around and pinched the face of Xu Heng who was caught off guard. He said lovingly, "But in my opinion, the teacher is always right."

After saying that, Xu Heng felt that he could not move, so Krolitz gently pulled his hand out, and his eyes returned to the cold look of yesterday.

"Come on! If you do anything, Krolitz, I will break off our friendship with you!"

"Soma, if you do that, I will ignore you!"

When Xu Heng decisively used his skill to find the right remedy for the problem, another voice, equally anxious as his, appeared at the same time.

The moment Krolitz stopped walking because of the threat, a figure with fluttering blond hair rushed in from the broken door of the tavern and stood in front of Soma.

That was Clara carrying a big bag, but what was different from usual was that now she was not wearing light armor, she had a ponytail and carried a sword.

Instead, she was wearing a white lace dress, her waist-length hair was loose, she had light makeup on, and a pair of brown open-toed strappy sandals. Her beautiful long legs and exposed slender ankles were stepping on the clouds, and she was probably unrecognizable.

Clara now looks as holy as a goddess, as natural as a forest elf, like a lively deer in the woods, or a lovely sister next door.

But how should I put it, Clara is a little taller than Xu Heng... Xu Heng may not think she is petite and cute...

"Who is this person running in? Don't I still have a closed sign hanging?" Xu Heng asked stupidly as he looked at someone who came from nowhere.

"Are you blind? Clara! Tsk tsk, the little girl looks different when she dresses up a little. It's a pity that she is dressing up in front of a blind man..." Julie said indignantly.

"Krolitz! Stop! Clara is here!" Xu Heng ignored Julie and continued shouting.

Krolitz walked back obediently this time, staring with wide eyes, as if he had seen a bone, and asked in surprise: "Break off diplomatic relations? So we are good friends now, right? Both teacher and friend?"

"Oh, yes! Think whatever you want! Untie your acupoint-pressing hands for me!" Xu Heng rolled his eyes and said angrily.

On the other side, Clara was also trying to dissuade Soma in some way, which made Xu Heng, who was able to move, feel like she was coaxing a child - and of course, himself, the same.

"Krolitz, stay here and don't move! I'll go and communicate!"

"Soma! Stay here! I want to talk to Boss Xu."

Again, speaking in unison, Clara and Xu Heng walked towards each other at the same time.

"I'm sorry, Clara. That kid and I were yelling in your head yesterday. Are you okay? I wanted to come to your house to apologize, but I didn't know where your home was, and I didn't meet your teammates..." Xu Heng scratched his head, which was a sign of his guilty conscience, and said in a weak tone.

In fact, it was more because Krolitz told him that it would be useless for him to go, and it might even further stimulate him and cause a negative impact of PTSD.

It made Xu Heng feel that he had caused great harm to Clara.

"No, Boss Xu, you have done nothing wrong. On the contrary, you are my great benefactor. You have let me know what exists above the sky, who I really am, and many truths that I have never thought about." Clara walked to two steps away from Xu Heng, staring at him intently - he dared not look back - and said sincerely, "I am very happy to meet you, and I am grateful to Mr. Krolitz for choosing to debate with you in my spiritual sea, allowing me to enjoy a wonderful feast of thoughts!"

"Julie, is Clara really dead? Her appearance has changed, and she speaks more politely..." Xu Heng asked in his mind with a guilty conscience, but was interrupted again.

"I think you are the one who is doomed! Don't be distracted and listen carefully to what the girl is saying!" Julie suddenly controlled Xu Heng in her mind.

"Boss Xu, is my outfit today strange? Why don't you dare look at me?" Suddenly, Clara's hesitant and somewhat distressing voice sounded in Xu Heng's ears, scaring him so much that he quickly looked up.

I found that Clara's cheeks were slightly red and her eyes were watery, as if she was about to cry.

It's over! Don't cry! Don't cry!

"No, no, you look very good today, um... I think you look very good every day, no matter how you dress up, you are very good to begin with, and you look even better today, I just don't dare to look at you..." Xu Heng's CPU was running like crazy, he wanted to say everything, but he was afraid of being frivolous, and his language system gradually froze. "Don't, don't cry, I'm not very good at complimenting people..."

Little did Xu Heng know that Clara started to cry as he was talking, and he became even more panicked.

"No, I really like your compliment. Do I look good today? Can I wear the same outfit next time I see you?" Clara shook her head, wiped her tears, and asked in a crying voice.

At this time, Xu Heng actually didn't understand what Clara meant.

"Of course, you can wear whatever you want. You have always been very beautiful, but I don't want you to do it for compliments, but because you like it, because that is what you want to show. Beauty is never because of appearance, but because you decorate your beautiful heart." Xu Heng suddenly got inspiration and began to speak a lot. "Even if you are wearing armor, you are still beautiful because of your bravery and kindness, aren't you?"

But Xu Heng was so sad that he realized that although his words stopped Clara's tears, they also seemed to have stunned her.

Shit! I'm a straight man! Did I say something wrong again? No no no, am I starting to preach again? Oops! Damn it! Xu Heng! You are a bastard!

In the midst of her confusion and sweat, Clara suddenly burst out laughing. That smile was relaxed and youthful, with slightly rosy cheeks, white teeth, and flowing golden hair. It was a smile that could infect others.

As beautiful as a painting.

It also made Xu Heng's eyes narrow slightly and his heart beat faster for a moment.

Clara smiled innocently, looking at Xu Heng, but with a certain firmness and determination in her eyes, and said: "Xu Heng, you are too cunning."

Cunning? What?

Xu Heng was confused again.

"Xu Heng, I came to see you this time to say goodbye. Mr. Krolitz's incident made me understand that to protect what I want to protect and to achieve the future I want, I must have stronger strength. I am still far from enough." Clara changed the subject and stopped looking at Xu Heng. She lowered her head and said a little depressed, "I am going to a place where I can really become stronger, both physically and mentally. This is my determination, but I still can't let go, so, can you wait for me?"

Clara still had her head down, like a student who had just finished an exam and was waiting to check her answers.

Xu Heng knew that there were many combat academies and magician academies in the other world, which accepted both male and female students, so he thought Clara must have gone there to study.

However, with Clara's strength, there is actually no academy that can teach her anymore. However, Xu Heng does not have this concept. If a strong person above level six wants to become stronger, he can only go to an extremely extreme environment or to an organization where many strong people gather and the probability of casualties is very high.

The greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Unlike Clara who was feeling the farewell of life and death, Xu Heng was relatively calm. In addition, he was not focused on where Clara was going - she was just going to school:

Wait? Wait for what? Could it be that?

"Of course, I will wait for you! Even if you are not a guard anymore, the tavern's discounts... no, the privileges given to you remain unchanged! Here, this is a super membership card that has not been discovered yet! Take it! Come back whenever you want! Eat as much as you want! It's my treat! The tavern will not move!" Xu Heng had another flash of inspiration, and took out a black card from the space ring - made according to the black card in the legend of his previous life - raised Clara's hand and handed it to her.
