I just wanted to cultivate immortality, but I was forced to open a harem

However, even if the school launched a donation campaign, how much money could it raise? For this extremely poor family, it was just a drop in the bucket.

When Lin He's mother thought of this, she couldn't help but sigh. She looked tired, as if she had aged dozens of years in an instant.

"Fortunately, Old Lin paid off all his debts before he left, but this house has been sold, and we have to move." Lin and his mother said quietly.

The little girl named Yiyi asked in a daze: "Sell the house... Then mom, where will we live in the future?"

Lin He's mother shook her head, a helpless and bitter look on her face: "Well... there will always be a place to live in the future, Yiyi, mom will go out to work in the future, so you have to be good at home."

"Mom, can I go out to work with you?" Yiyi looked up at her, "I can wash your clothes, cook for you, and take care of you."

Lin He's mother nodded with satisfaction: "Yiyi is such a good baby, but you are still young. When you grow up, you can help your mother, okay?"

Speaking of this, she felt a little sad again.

"Then... Yiyi must make a lot of money when she grows up and give it to her parents and brother." The little girl vowed.

She was too young to understand what death meant. In her opinion, her father was just lying on the ground and sleeping, so he was motionless.

When he wakes up in two days, he will take her, her mother and brother to the amusement park like before.

"Okay, Yiyi is so sensible..." Lin He's mother touched her daughter's little head lovingly and couldn't help but covering her mouth and crying.

Lin He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Mom, I won't study anymore. I'm going to work and earn money to support you and your sister!"

When Lin and her mother heard this, they stopped crying.

She suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open and angrily shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about! You are in the critical period of your senior year of high school and are about to take the college entrance examination. Your parents have worked hard to support you until now, but you want to drop out of school and work?"

Teacher Zhou also frowned and advised: "That's right, Lin He, you have good grades, you will definitely be able to get into a good university in the future. When you graduate, finding a high-paying job is much better than working part-time. Only studying can change your destiny. Don't lose the big picture for the small."

"In short, I will find a way to solve the money problem, and you just need to study hard!" Lin He's mother was firm and would not tolerate any argument.

"How does this work?"

Lin He was about to say something when Teacher Zhou interrupted him and said, "It's too late today. If you don't go back, the school will be closed. Lin He, you take the monitor back to school. It's not safe for girls to walk on the road at night. I'll help with your father's funeral, so don't worry."

"But......"

"Lin He, be obedient." Seeing that he was reluctant to leave, Lin He's mother urged him again.

"......Okay." Lin He could only nod helplessly.

Before leaving, Teacher Zhou specifically told Lin He: "Lin He, although your father has passed away, you can't give up and make a decision that will make you regret for the rest of your life."

"I understand." Lin He replied with his head down.

He turned and left, Kato Megumi followed him obediently, and the two of them walked out the door together.

The two walked side by side to the street, and Lin He remained silent all the way.

Kato Megumi secretly looked at him several times, and seeing that his face was pale and his eyes were red, she couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Lin He suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at her, and said slowly: "Thank you, squad leader."

Kato Hui was startled: "Huh?"

Lin He took a deep breath and said sullenly: "Thanks to you and Teacher Zhou tonight, otherwise, I really don't know how to spend it. Thank you."

Kato Hui shook her head: "You're welcome. In fact, it's mainly Teacher Zhou who's been busy."

She hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Your father just passed away. It would be hard for anyone to bear this. What you need now is not only to calm down and rest, but more importantly, to maintain a good mental state."

"I think Teacher Zhou is right. Only by studying can you change your destiny. If you drop out of school now, you will lose the big picture for the small. It's not too late to find a job after you graduate from university." Kato Megumi comforted.

Lin He nodded: "I understand what you said, but you have also seen the situation of my family. After selling the house and paying off the debt, we will go out and rent a house."

"My mother hasn't been working for many years. At her age, she can only find low-paying jobs. It's hard to pay the rent and daily expenses, not to mention that she has a younger sister to support. There is no extra money for me to go to college."

"So, I might as well get out early and make some money to help my mom share some of the pressure. After all, many skilled jobs nowadays pay quite well."

Lin He finished speaking in a low voice, then looked up at the brightly lit tall buildings in the distance, his face showing both relief and helplessness.

Kato Hui thought for a moment and said softly, "Not necessarily. The university has scholarships and student subsidies, and you can also do part-time jobs. There will always be a way."

Lin He smiled bitterly: "Forget it, it's too early to think about these things now. Let's deal with the things at hand first."

The two stood at the bus stop on Dingchang Street, waiting for the bus quietly.

The night here was quiet. Apart from the two of them, there was no one on the street, with only the sparse street lights emitting dim light.

Lin He's eyes inadvertently swept across the street corner, where there stood an unmanned vending machine filled with a variety of canned drinks.

He suddenly had an idea and said to Kato Megumi beside him, "Wait here for me. I'll go buy something. Do you want anything to drink? I'll treat you."

Kato Hui shook her head: "No need."

Given the current situation of Lin He's family, how could Kato Kei let them spend money?

As if he could see through her concerns, Lin He smiled bitterly: "It's just a can of drink. I can afford this amount. I just want to thank you."

Seeing the boy showing off, Kato Hui couldn't bear to hurt his self-esteem, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I want a bottle of mineral water."

Lin He smiled slightly, turned and walked towards the vending machine.

Kato Megumi watched him click on the screen to select drinks and scan the code to pay.

"Clang, clang", two bottles of water fell down.

Lin He took out the drink from the pickup port and was about to walk back to the bus stop when a magical scene appeared.

A glowing, half-person-high "light curtain" suddenly appeared in front of Lin He, blocking his way.

"what is this?"

Lin He was stunned when he saw this strange thing that had no "thickness", emitted a hazy halo, and had lines on its surface flowing like a whirlpool.

He seemed to be attracted by something and reached out to touch it.

Not far away, Kato Hui, who observed this scene, suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart: "Lin He, don't!"

However, it was too late.

Lin He's fingers had already touched the "light curtain". In an instant, the vortex on the "light curtain" suddenly accelerated, emitting a dazzling silver light.

Lin He's figure was enveloped in it. With a "boom", a huge suction force came out from the vortex and pulled him in.

"Lin He?" Kato Hui was shocked and ran over in a hurry.

Lin He was no longer there, and the strange "light curtain" also disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

Only a bottle of drink fell on the ground, rolling "gurgling" on its own, proving that Lin He had indeed existed...

Kato Megumi squatted down sluggishly and picked up the bottle of drink.

Just now Lin He was chatting and laughing with her, but in the blink of an eye he disappeared. What happened?

Before she could figure it out, a sharp pain surged from the depths of her mind, instantly drowning her consciousness...

Chapter 364 Towards the End

Kato Megumi woke up again and found herself tied to a chair.

"Well......"

She snorted softly and looked around.

The room was dim, with only a small lamp hanging on the wall emitting a faint light.

The air was filled with the smell of metal and engine oil, which was slightly pungent.

This seems to be a factory.

"Are you awake?" Suddenly, a voice came from beside me.

Kato Megumi was startled and turned around, only to see a man who looked both familiar and unfamiliar sitting on a chair next to her, looking at her with a smile on his face.

The man was well-mannered, thin, and had a very young face. If it weren't for the delicate moustache on his lips, people would have thought he was still a student.

"Lin He?"

The face of the person in front of her overlapped with the boy she saw in her dream, and Kato Megumi exclaimed.

"It seems that you already know it, so there is no need for me to hide it anymore."

Mustache, no, Lin He reached out and tore off the fake mustache stuck on his lips as a disguise, revealing his true face.

"It's you!" Kato Megumi's face changed slightly.

"How about it? Are you surprised?" the other party said with a smile.

"It was you who killed Eriri, Yukinoshita and the others? What exactly did you want to do?" Kato Megumi's cold tone contained a hint of anger.

"What should I do?" Lin He smiled slightly.

"If you saw that memory through my special connection, then you should be very clear about what I am going to do."

Lin He put away his smile and his expression turned gloomy: "There is only one thing I want to do from beginning to end, and that is to go home!"

"Go home?" Kato Megumi was stunned.

"Yes, go home. And you are the obstacles blocking my way home!"

Lin He's tone was grim and his voice was icy cold, as if it came from the netherworld of hell, making people shudder.

"You are not only an obstacle on my way home, but also a scourge on my road to becoming an immortal. I will kill you all!"

He looked down at Kato Megumi as if she were a bug, with disdain.

A chill ran through Kato Hui's heart. At this moment, she clearly felt that Lin He was emitting strong hatred.

Such strong hatred appeared on the face of the boy in the dream, which was firm, gentle, sunny, full of vigor and responsibility. It seemed very strange and bizarre, and full of incongruity.

"No, you are not Lin He!" Kato Hui suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "Who are you?"

Hearing this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Lin He's eyes, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

"I hate overly smart women because you always interfere with my plans."

He grabbed Kato Megumi's neck and twisted it hard.

"Cough cough cough..." Kato Hui kicked the floor with her legs, her face flushed red, and she shouted with difficulty: "You... let go..."

She felt the power of Lin He and also felt the approach of death.

"Haha, die, die, go to hell..." A cruel arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his face looked ferocious.

Kato Megumi felt that her neck was about to break, her breathing became increasingly difficult, and her consciousness began to blur.

At this moment, a beeping alarm suddenly sounded.

"It seems that the guest I have been waiting for for a long time has finally arrived." Lin He's expression changed slightly.

He released his hand that was pinching Kato Megumi's neck, turned and walked out the door, leaving her alone.

"Cough cough cough..."

Kato Megumi regained air and gasped for breath, feeling the suffocation just now and was still frightened.

If the alarm had not sounded just now, she might have died at the hands of the other party.

This [Lin He] is really terrifying.

"Who is he? Why is he so powerful? What is his relationship with Lin He and Kazuma? What...does he want to do?"

Kato Megumi was convinced that the other party would fulfill their promise and "kill" them all.

However, she always felt that this was not Lin He's real purpose, and he must have other intentions.

"By the way, the alarm suddenly sounded just now, and he mentioned something like 'guests'. Could it be that Kazuma and Shinomiya-san are here?" Kato Megumi became excited when she thought of this.

"No, this guy is too dangerous. Kazuma and the others are no match for him. I can't just sit there and wait for him to hurt Kazuma!" Kato Megumi gritted her teeth and decided to escape.

However, her hands were tied behind the chair and her feet were tied with ropes, making it extremely difficult for her to escape.

"What should I do?" Kato Hui frowned, thinking of various escape plans in her mind, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.

Her ten fingers were twisted together just like her mood at the moment. The hard wedding diamond ring gave her a cold touch, and details that she had never noticed before also emerged.

"Why is the pattern on this ring so strange? It seems like there is a small bulge."

Kato Megumi noticed this small abnormality, and she turned her head to look at her hands, and pressed the bulge with the nail of her other finger based on her feeling.

"Qiang!"

With a clear sound, a small, short, serrated blade designed for cutting popped out from the ring.
