After waking up again, Zhang Rui found himself lying on a wooden bed.
A sense of unease suddenly arose in my heart.
Zhang Rui sat up.
As expected, there was no sign of the young men around.
Zhang Rui got out of bed without any hesitation, pulled the clothes beside him, put them on, and opened the door as quickly as possible.
At the same time, the door next to it was also opened.
It’s Qi Jin.
When old friends met, they all felt relieved.
But then, "Where are they?"
Zhang Rui's tone was very anxious, but Qi Jin just shook his head in bewilderment: "I don't know. When I woke up, I was lying on the bed in the room and didn't see them."
Qi Jin was telling the truth and he didn't dare to lie.
Zhang Rui's heart became even more nervous.
Just as they were about to call Qi Jin to go find their junior brother together, the waiter came over with a tray.
He stopped one meter away from Zhang Rui and said, "Sir, would you like to eat?"
Seeing the door being pushed open, the waiter went upstairs to ask as usual.
The waiter spoke respectfully, but was pulled forward by Zhang Rui: "How did we get here?"
If he remembered correctly, they should be lying under that tree, not in the inn on the street.
Zhang Rui's questioning left the waiter stunned for a moment.
The waiter didn't know why Zhang Rui asked this, so he didn't dare to hide it. He just said jokingly:
"Look at your memory, sir. Yesterday afternoon, you gave me a few taels of silver and opened a few rooms for you. How come you forgot about it today?"
He wasn't lying.
Yesterday, this person in front of me brought about ten people into the store.
It's just a little bit strange.
No matter how I asked yesterday, this person just wouldn't say a word.
He thought these people were dumb, but now it seems he was overthinking it.
"Yesterday afternoon?"
Zhang Rui frowned and looked at Qi Jin.
Seeing Zhang Rui's question again, the waiter nodded quickly, pulled Zhang Rui's hand away, and stood firm: "Yes, sir, I dare not lie about such a thing. It was indeed you who took the initiative to stay at the hotel yesterday."
Qi Jin's expression was not right at this moment. He looked at the waiter who was retreating while talking, walked up to him and grabbed his hand.
Waiter: It’s really getting harder and harder to make money these days!
"How many people are there in total?"
Although Qi Jin is not very old, he has great strength in his hands.
The waiter's facial expression twisted, and he quickly said, "Twelve, including the two guests, there are twelve in total."
The waiter is already numb.
If this group of people had not already paid in advance, he would have really worried whether this was a new way of defaulting on debts.
After hearing what the waiter said, Qi Jin loosened his grip.
The waiter, freed from his restraints, breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the two men and spoke cautiously, "The other guests are in other rooms on this floor. If you two want to see them, please feel free to do so."
After saying this, he left without hesitation.
Perhaps because the three of them made a lot of noise, the doors of several other rooms were also opened.
The boys looked at each other for a few seconds, then turned around and went back to their rooms.
After a simple tidy up, he picked up the peach wood sword beside the bed and rushed towards Zhang Rui.
As a result, twelve young men appeared in a room.
"Are we out now?"
Lao Qi opened the window in the room and looked out.
On the streets, there were constant hawking sounds and people coming and going.
"Um."
Zhang Rui responded softly, and before the group of teenagers could say anything more, he spoke again, "Do you have any plans?"
"Of course it's to catch monsters. That's what we agreed on." Lao Qi responded without thinking too much.
"Yes, we agreed on that at the beginning." Lao Wu also responded.
But Zhang Rui and Qi Jin both fell silent at this moment.
The young men were still watching the lively scene outside the window, but when they saw that their two senior brothers did not respond, the joy on their faces gradually faded.
The teenagers, realizing that something was wrong with Zhang Rui, suddenly became nervous: "Brother, are you... annoyed that we're holding you back?"
Eleven spoke first.
Along the way, he couldn't help but think a little biasedly about Senior Brother Zhang Rui's care for them.
If it weren't for them, Senior Brother Zhang Rui and Senior Brother Qi Jin would have walked out long ago.
"No, of course I won't dislike you."
"But the road to catching monsters will definitely not be as simple as you imagine. If you are unwilling, then you can withdraw and find a place to make a living here and live a good life."
After all, Zhang Rui is older than these teenagers.
He didn't want to force them to follow because of himself.
I don't want the title of demon catcher to bind them for life and make them speak insincerely.
Qi Jin also calmed down a lot. He looked at his fellow apprentices in front of him and told them what he was most worried about.
"You must think clearly. Senior Brother Zhang and I are not very powerful. If we encounter danger, we may not be able to protect you."
But the young people will not give up easily.
"I do. I want to be a qualified and excellent demon catcher, not just a title that is undeserved, and more than just a nominal disciple under the master's name."
Lao Wu spoke, his fist thrust into the air, "No matter what dangers I may encounter, I am willing to try it myself."
In just a moment, "I do" rang out one after another.
They pounded their fists together in mid-air, once again reaffirming their faith.
The peach wood swords were held in their palms.
The sword without an edge emits light at this moment.
They didn't dwell on how they got out.
Just encouraging each other again.
Zhang Rui took out the compass they had prepared and tried to find the monster's trace.
His hands were shaking slightly, and he was obviously nervous.
The compass that had just been taken out was shaken left and right.
But after a moment, it slowly stopped in a southward position.
The young men's faces were filled with eagerness, and they all looked towards the south where they were about to go.
They didn't have any doubts.
After all, what Yuan Shouyi taught them was that they could use this compass to find the location of monsters.
But what they don't know is that this compass also needs spiritual power to drive it.
When Yuan Shouyi taught them, he never imagined that there wouldn't be even one young man in this group who could use spiritual power smoothly.
But Zhang Rui never thought that the compass in his hand would have another name.
Although practical, it has nothing to do with catching monsters.
But they didn't know that they were still on the road to hunt for monsters as usual.
The boy hadn't really thought about why they were going to catch monsters.
The only meaning is what Yuan Shouyi told them.
All demons are bad and tend to mislead people.
So they believed it firmly.
But they were still young at that time, and time will give them an answer.
Then they will find the true meaning.
