Chapter 697: Troubles Arose on the Eve of Training, and the Love Is Hard to Change at the Time of Pa
"I'm so envious of the first-class cabin..." Lu Baoyou murmured softly as he looked at the scenery passing by outside the window.
She sat in the hard seat carriage, feeling the air mixed with the smell of sweat and instant noodles, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Through the stained car window, the outside world is like a rapidly receding oil painting.
Green fields, gray buildings, and occasionally a bright golden flash, that is the blooming rapeseed flowers.
She sighed softly and reached out to touch the thin training application form in her backpack. This was the first application form she had received since becoming a night watchman.
This was her first opportunity to participate in the Demon Suppression Division's training, which meant she had the opportunity to learn more advanced demon-slaying skills.
It also means that she is one step closer to her goal - to become a true god slayer.
Suddenly, a pulling sensation came from the back of my head, accompanied by a small "cluck" sound.
Lu Baoyou turned around suddenly and saw a chubby little boy playing with her hair.
He was still muttering, "Plane! Plane!"
The little boy's mother, who was sitting nearby, not only did not stop him, but smiled lovingly and said, "Baby is so smart, he can even fold an airplane!"
A surge of anger surged in Lu Baoyou's heart. She suppressed her anger.
Trying to speak more slowly, he said, "Little boy, please don't pull my hair. It hurts."
The little boy didn't seem to understand and continued to play with her hair.
Lu Baoyou frowned even tighter. She took a deep breath and was about to speak again.
But then he heard the woman's impatient voice: "Oh, the child is just playing. You are such a grown-up, why are you fussing with a child? Really!"
Hearing this, Lu Baoyou felt a surge of anger rushing to her head, but she still suppressed it.
She knew that arguing with such a person would only waste time and energy, and might also affect her mood.
She turned her head silently and ignored the mother and son, but her heart felt heavy as if a stone was pressing on it.
The noise in the carriage gradually faded, and Lu Baoyou felt sleepy.
She leaned against the car window and slowly closed her eyes.
In her hazy dream, she seemed to return to that bloody night.
She witnessed with her own eyes the scene of her parents being brutally murdered by demons.
That heart-wrenching cry still echoes in her ears...
After an unknown amount of time, a violent shaking woke Lu Baoyou up.
She opened her eyes and found that the train had entered a dark tunnel.
The carriage was dark, with only a few emergency lights emitting faint light.
She subconsciously touched her backpack, only to find that the zipper had been opened at some point, and the things inside were scattered all over the floor.
She quickly bent down to pick it up, but found that the important training application form was missing!
An ominous premonition came over her. She looked around and finally saw the crumpled document bag in the little boy's hand.
The little boy was holding it, waving it excitedly, and making the "Woo-woo" sound of an airplane taking off.
At that moment, Lu Baoyou's pent-up anger completely erupted.
She stood up suddenly, snatched the file bag from the little boy's hand, and opened it forcefully.
But I found that the file bag was crumpled and the words on it became blurred.
The train in the tunnel made a huge roar, and the lights in the carriage flickered, reflecting Lu Baoyou's face distorted by anger.
She stood in front of the little boy, staring at him with her red eyes, and said word by word: "You..."
The original text's paragraph about Li Zhenzhen has nothing to do with the previous section about Lu Baoyou. After removing this section, the novel's content is as follows:
Lu Baoyou stood in front of the boy, her red eyes, like two burning flames, staring at him intently.
The boy had never seen such a terrifying look in his eyes. It was filled with anger, disappointment, and even a hint of deep sadness.
His small body began to tremble, and he cried out heartbreakingly, his cry was sharp and piercing.
Like a sharp knife, it cut through the already tense atmosphere in the carriage.
The entire carriage seemed to have pressed the mute button. Everyone stopped talking and all eyes were focused on this side.
Fear, like an invisible net, hangs over everyone's heart.
The train finally drove out of the tunnel, and the sunlight poured into the carriage again, dispelling some of the oppressive feeling brought by the darkness.
The woman saw her son crying loudly out of fear, and she immediately became furious and jumped up screaming.
Pointing at Lu Baoyou's nose, she cursed, "You crazy woman! Are you trying to scare my child to death? It's just a piece of torn paper. Why are you so fierce?"
She snatched the file bag from Lu Baoyou's hand and threw it hard at her. The papers scattered all over the floor, fluttering like snowflakes.
"Pay me money! You have to pay me! You scared my child, can you afford it?!"
The woman's voice became increasingly sharp, and her saliva almost sprayed onto Lu Baoyou's face.
Lu Baoyou slowly raised his head, with a strange calmness on his face, and even a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
Her voice was low, but clearly heard by everyone: "A piece of torn paper? Yes, to you, it's just a piece of torn paper."
"But for me, it is my only chance to change my destiny!"
"Change your fate? Just you? A poor guy sitting in a hard seat, you think you can talk about fate?"
The woman's eyes were full of contempt, as if Lu Baoyou was some dirty trash.
"It's not up to you to decide whether I'm worthy or not!"
Lu Baoyou suddenly raised his voice, his voice full of determination and madness.
"People like you will never understand that some things are more important than money!"
At this moment, a dazzling flame suddenly erupted in the middle of the train, accompanied by a deafening explosion.
The entire carriage shook violently, and people screamed in terror and fled in all directions.
Lu Baoyou only felt a powerful force throwing her into the air, and her vision became blurred.
"Boom!"
There was another loud bang, and the carriage broke apart and became disconnected from the train!
Lu Baoyou fell heavily to the ground, feeling like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.
She struggled to raise her head and saw that the disjointed carriage was moving backwards at an incredible speed and finally stopped in a wilderness.
The carriage was in a mess, with seats overturned, luggage scattered, and injured passengers everywhere.
The woman held her crying son and looked around in horror, completely at a loss.
However, Lu Baoyou disappeared.
She disappeared into the wilderness like a gust of wind, leaving no trace.
Only the destroyed carriage was left, parked there alone, like an abandoned toy.
In Shangjing City, the neon lights at night flicker with a hazy glow, making the city look like a huge city that never sleeps.
On the wilderness road leading to Shangjing City, a figure was moving quickly.
She was a young girl, wearing simple clothes, carrying a worn backpack, her face was covered with dust, and she looked a little disheveled.
She was Lu Baoyou who disappeared from the disconnected carriage.
At the moment of the explosion, she relied on her amazing reaction speed and powerful explosive power.
He jumped out of the carriage and landed in the nearby wilderness.
She ignored the pain in her body, got up from the ground immediately and ran towards Shangjing City.
She knew that she had to get to the training camp as soon as possible and not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, she finally saw the tall city walls of Shangjing City.
She stopped, took out the crumpled document bag from her backpack, and opened it carefully.
There was a piece of paper lying quietly inside, with a few eye-catching words printed on it:
Application form for Demon Suppression Division training.
Although the paper was a little damaged and the handwriting was a little blurry, Lu Baoyou could still clearly recognize every word on it.
A relieved smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of determination.
She took a deep breath, clenched the application form tightly in her hand, and then took a step forward and walked towards Shangjing City.
The night wind blew her hair, making a rustling sound.
She didn't know what was waiting for her.
She only knew that she must never give up.
She must become a true god-slayer!
Li Zhenzhen sniffed and tried hard not to let tears fall.
Damn it, she is Li Zhenzhen, the strongest one in Team 006, how could she cry?
She wiped her face hard, but ended up getting more dust on it, making her look like a little cat.
Zhang Zhengting couldn't help but laugh at her expression, "Zhenzhen, don't embarrass our 006 team when you get to the training camp!"
"Embarrassment? Just wait and see. I'll definitely be the first one to graduate from the training camp. Then I'll scare you to death!"
Li Zhenzhen replied in a nonchalant manner, but she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She looked around at the 006 team's simple station and the mottled walls.
The creaking wooden door and the table with a missing leg, everything seemed so familiar and intimate.
Here, she spent countless days and nights, sharing life and death, laughter and sorrow with her teammates.
"Zhenzhen, don't forget to bring us some goodies!" another team member said with a smile.
"Don't worry, you guys will be fine!" Li Zhenzhen raised the corner of her mouth and showed a bright smile.
She turned around and walked out of the station with firm steps.
As the sun sets, its golden afterglow shines on the earth, dyeing everything a warm orange.
Li Zhenzhen walked on the country road with light and powerful steps.
She looked back and saw that the 006 team’s base had gradually disappeared from her sight, leaving only a vague outline.
What will it be like when you come back next time?
Will the team have a few new members?
Will the captain have a few more white hairs?
Is Zhang Zhengting secretly hiding some private money again?
As Li Zhenzhen thought about it, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
She quickened her pace and walked towards the distance.
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched her figure very long, like a winding path leading to an unknown distance.
I don’t know how long I walked, but the sky gradually darkened and the trees on the roadside became shadowy, like monsters lurking in the darkness.
A cool breeze blew by, and Li Zhenzhen couldn't help but shiver.
She touched the amulet in her pocket and felt a little more at ease.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound coming from the front, as if something was crawling in the grass.
Li Zhenzhen immediately became alert. She slowed down, held her breath, and listened carefully to the movements around her.
The sound was getting closer and clearer, as if it was right next to her.
Li Zhenzhen clenched the dagger in her hand and her heartbeat began to accelerate.
She felt her palms sweating slightly and a layer of cold sweat seeping out of her back.
"Who's there?" Li Zhenzhen shouted in a low voice, her voice trembling slightly.
She was answered by a creepy growl.
Li Zhenzhen felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She turned around suddenly, but found that there was no one behind her.
"Playing tricks!" Li Zhenzhen forced herself to remain calm and shouted again.
However, what responded to her was a sharp roar, and then a black shadow jumped out from the grass and rushed towards Li Zhenzhen.
Li Zhenzhen instinctively raised the dagger to block the attack of the black shadow.
"clang!"
There was a sound of metal colliding and sparks flew.
Li Zhenzhen used the faint moonlight to see the appearance of the black shadow clearly.
It was a huge beast, covered with black hair, its eyes flashing green, its sharp claws flashing coldly, and its mouth dripping with smelly saliva.
"Monster!" Li Zhenzhen was shocked. She didn't expect to encounter a monster so close to Shangjing City.
She took a deep breath, gripped the dagger tightly, and prepared to fight the monster to the death.
At this moment, a voice sounded in her ears:
"Little girl, do you need help?"
