All my hunting commissions come from another world?

But what can I say, she's so magnanimous!

"It's a deal then, I'm going to play with Erii tomorrow ヾ(●゜▽゜●)?"

"we have a deal."

Chapter 18: The two brothers' final fates were equally matched.

"Hmmmm, is that right?"

Sitting on the top floor of the Youssefka Clinic, Zhou Si and Elin watched everything that was happening below. The two witnessed firsthand how Lu Mingfei was torn apart by the werewolves time and time again, and how he got back up again and again.

"Is this what you originally planned?"

Elena looked at Zhou Si with some doubt. In her impression, although Zhou Si had a bit of a wicked sense of humor, he was never the kind of person who liked to torment others.

If it's a test, why put someone here that Lu Mingfei can't possibly defeat?

But to Elena's surprise, Zhou Si's expression seemed even more astonished than hers.

"That shouldn't be the case, how could I get stuck by a werewolf?"

Zhou Si was deeply shocked by what he saw below. According to his original plan, although Lu Mingfei would suffer a bit here, he shouldn't be stuck for too long.

"Not everyone is a pervert like you."

Elena had some doubts. Was Zhou Si judging others by his own standards? If it were him or Azure Star, that little werewolf wouldn't be a problem at all.

But Lu Mingfei just looked like an ordinary person.

He's just an ordinary person.

Zhou Si's doubts were no less than Elini's. Although Lu Mingfei had always acted like an ordinary person, Zhou Si could sense that he had the same kind of aura as the little devil Lu Mingze.

He shouldn't be an ordinary person in any way. According to his original estimate, he should have at least seen Carol by now.

But soon someone answered Zhou Si's question.

"Shh, don't interfere with him."

Lu Mingze's voice came from beside them. Upon seeing him, Zhou Si naturally thought of that possibility.

"You're the one who prevented him from awakening?"

Zhou Si and Elinie looked at the little devil together, not understanding why he would do such a terrible thing to his brother.

Because of his interference, Lu Mingfei has been stuck here for so long, and has even experienced so many deaths.

"Because he is not qualified."

Lu Mingze stared at Lu Mingfei below, who was fleeing with Dr. Yousefka, a complex expression in his golden pupils.

"You have to take that step...brother."

Only Zhou Si heard the little devil's sigh. He didn't know why Lu Mingze was making things so difficult for his brother, but he could understand the despair of facing an insurmountable predicament.

Lu Mingfei has done enough. He was not terrified by death, nor was he overwhelmed by pain and despair. He may still be cowardly and timid now, but Zhou Si has already seen the change in him.

If fear itself is insignificant, how can courage be considered valuable?

Moreover, some people might only need a gentle push...

The person who gave Zhou Si a push back then was Gu Niao, and now he's happy to be that person.

......

Lu Mingfei woke up in his hospital bed again. His plan had failed once more. The werewolf was only attracted to fresh flesh and blood. Compared to the rotting corpses, he and Dr. Yousefka were much more tempting.

Feeling somewhat irritated, Lu Mingfei grabbed his hair, took a few deep breaths, and then instinctively headed upstairs.

'Let's go see Dr. Yusevka first.'

Since meeting Yousefka, Lu Mingfei has made it a habit to go see that gentle doctor as soon as he is reborn.

It seemed that as long as the doctor's gentle words were present, the monster below didn't seem so terrifying anymore.

"Huh? Was this thing here before?"

Lu Mingfei glanced habitually at the cabinet next to him, which was used to store medical supplies. Once, when he was accidentally injured, the doctor got the medicine from here and bandaged him up. After so many cycles, Lu Mingfei could say that he knew everything about this clinic like the back of his hand.

Even Dr. Yusufka might not remember as clearly as Lu Mingfei that there was absolutely nothing on this cabinet before, in any of the cycles.

The sudden change immediately drew Lu Mingfei's attention to the scroll-like object. Without hesitation, he walked over and opened the scroll.

A leather scroll was slowly unrolled. Such scrolls were quite rare in this era, and this particular scroll contained only a very brief sentence.

Even if your pale blood has dried up, please rekindle the ashes.

A seemingly random sentence appeared on the scroll. Lu Mingfei didn't understand its contents, but when he fully unrolled the scroll, two clinking sounds rang out, and a dagger and a blood collection bottle filled with bright red blood fell to the ground.

Lu Mingfei silently squatted down and picked up the blood collection bottle and the dagger. It was just a very ordinary dagger, not even particularly sharp. Lu Mingfei gently ran his fingers over the blade, but couldn't even cut his skin.

Although he had never seen the actual blood collection bottle, Dr. Yousefka had told him about Yharnam, the city's center of blood therapy.

Lu Mingfei guessed that this thing was most likely the blood collection bottle used by hunters, and the function of the blood collection bottle was very simple - to heal injuries.

Lu Mingfei looked at the door that was just a stone's throw away. He knew that if he pushed it open and walked upstairs, he would see Dr. Yousefka.

She is a kind and gentle person. Even if you seem suspicious, the doctor will listen to your needs gently and then do her best to help you.

Lu Mingfei knew all this perfectly well.

It was precisely because of Dr. Yusevka's gentleness that Lu Mingfei stubbornly wanted to change her fate, since he wouldn't actually die anyway.

So the moment he grasped the dagger, a somewhat crazy idea suddenly popped into Lu Mingfei's mind.

His heart pounded like thunder, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. Lu Mingfei knew clearly that he was afraid, terrified of the beast below, the monster that had torn him to pieces countless times.

But if—he meant if—

If he can really kill that beast, then Dr. Yusevka will be able to safely bring back the incense, and he and the doctor will be able to get through the night.

Such thoughts were growing wildly in Lu Mingfei's mind. He slowly turned around and faced the door leading to the clinic's exit.

Despite the fear that made him tremble, Lu Mingfei drew ever closer to the door.

Finally, the boy with the dagger stood in front of the monster.

The werewolf immediately spotted its new prey and excitedly pounced, opening its blood-red maw to bite at Lu Mingfei's head.

The massive body lunged forward. Lu Mingfei had been bitten by this move before, and half of his body was torn apart. So he knew the monster's attack route very well.

Lu Mingfei rolled on the spot, dodging the werewolf's attack in a somewhat disheveled manner, but his arm was cut open by the hospital bed next to him.

The pain came from his left hand, but he was used to such minor injuries. Since it didn't affect his right hand, it wouldn't affect his combat ability.

He was so focused on dodging the attacks that he didn't notice the opportunity to counterattack. This time, he wouldn't miss it.

The flowing blood excited the werewolf even more, and it pounced on Lu Mingfei again.

Lu Mingfei dodged the werewolf's attack again, leaving a small wound on its waist.

"That's it!"

His adrenaline surged, and Lu Mingfei ignored the pain in his arm. He couldn't help but cheer in his heart: this monster is not invincible!

Although the wound is negligible for a werewolf, it proves that Lu Mingfei is capable of killing this guy.

But now was clearly not the time to kill this guy. Although Lu Mingfei steadily and continuously damaged the werewolf, as his strength and concentration declined, he was eventually torn to pieces by the werewolf.

But he had already seen hope.

"..."

"So, are you satisfied now?"

Looking down at Lu Mingfei, Zhou Si shrugged.

Lu Mingze remained silent for a long while before looking at Zhou Si with an indescribable gaze.

"Actually, as long as my brother can face that werewolf directly, I will remove the restrictions on him."

With the dragon blood enhancement, Lu Mingfei would be able to easily kill the werewolf after dying a few times, if not cut through melons and vegetables.

But after Zhou Si intervened, the little devil suddenly saw another possibility in his older brother.

He suddenly wanted to see just how far Lu Mingfei, as an ordinary person, could go.

"No, buddy..."

Zhou Si's lips twitched wildly, and he even uttered the four-word mantra, but the little devil's thoughts were clearly not changed by a few words from others.

Looking at Lu Mingfei, who was suffering terribly from gua sha on the ground, Zhou Si showed a somewhat pitying look.

Having a younger brother like this is going to be tough for you.

"Hahaha..."

Finally, after dying countless times, Lu Mingfei finally wore down the monster that had killed him so many times. Looking at the werewolf lying on the ground, Lu Mingfei gasped for breath and collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

'I did it. '

At this moment, no one cheered for Lu Mingfei, and no one knew how much effort he had put in to kill the monster, but he felt incredibly satisfied.

After resting for a sufficient amount of time, Lu Mingfei got up from the ground and, supporting himself against the wall, struggled to walk upstairs.

He had drunk the blood collection bottle halfway through. At this moment, Lu Mingfei had a huge wound across his abdomen. If it had been any deeper, his intestines might have spilled out.

dong dong dong.

He gently knocked on that familiar door, and Dr. Youssefka's gentle voice rang in Lu Mingfei's ears once again.

Is anyone outside?

Hearing that gentle voice again, the thoughts that had been supporting Lu Mingfei gradually dissipated, and the next moment he fainted in front of Youssefka's door.

His consciousness sank into the deep sea once again, and when he awoke from the darkness, Lu Mingfei found himself standing in a place that resembled a cemetery.

A wooden cabin stands in the center of the cemetery, with stone steps leading up to its interior.

On those steps, Lu Mingfei saw a figure that was extremely familiar.

Lu Mingze, dressed in an elegant little suit, was sitting in the flower bushes beside the steps with his eyes closed, sitting there motionless like a doll.

Lu Mingfei came up to him and waved in front of Lu Mingze, but he did not react at all.

Lu Mingfei then tried several other methods, but Lu Mingze remained unmoved, as if he really was just a puppet.

Lu Mingfei didn't open his eyes until he was about to walk towards the small house.

"Brother, are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"You scared me."

Lu Mingfei patted his chest. This kid had timed his most relaxed moment perfectly to do this, so it was hard not to be startled.

"Then you need to work on your courage."

Lu Mingze crossed his legs and leaned back comfortably against the flower bed.

"So you're the one who orchestrated this place?"

Looking at the little devil in front of him, Lu Mingfei finally realized that his presence here meant that all of this was definitely related to him.

A hint of anger appeared on Lu Mingfei's face. Even if he was a coward, it was impossible for him not to be angry when he was suddenly sent to such a place to suffer.

What's more, things are different now; he just killed a werewolf!

Even a commoner can shed blood five steps when he gets angry; if he gets angry now, he'll shed blood many steps!

"What, doesn't your brother like it?"

Lu Mingze seemed to be deliberately trying to provoke Lu Mingfei, and as he wished, the enraged Lu Mingfei grabbed his collar.

"Do you know how many times I've been killed! Do you know how many times the doctor has died!"

Lu Mingfei's hands trembled. He would never forget the sight of Dr. Yusevka lying in a pool of blood, especially since this scene had occurred more than once.

Looking at Lu Mingfei, who was so close, Lu Mingze's smile grew wider the more furious Lu Mingfei appeared.

Yes, that's it!

This is the brother he wanted to see; only this brother has the right to transcend fate.

Brother, let our anger rage... and set the world ablaze...

“Brother, didn’t you finally succeed? You killed that monster, and the doctor won’t die at the hands of that beast anymore.”
