"!!!"

Lu Mingfei woke up suddenly and subconsciously wanted to grab the chain sword and bolt pistol beside him.

But he missed it.

Although the surroundings are dim, there is no smell of blood, no gunshots, and no alien roars...

There is only peace and tranquility.

The bright moonlight shone into the window sill, and an unknown creature sang softly in the green trees outside the window.

There was the sound of mechanical operation in his ears, keeping the place where he was at a comfortable temperature.

"...I...have I returned home?"

"Or...is this all a dream?"

Lu Mingfei's nose felt sore as if something was stuck in his throat, and then his face burst into tears.

In the haze, he noticed the picture on the luminous screen in front of him.

On the dirty and filthy carpet, ugly and disgusting creatures produced one ferocious and blasphemous creature after another.

Lu Mingfei's breathing suddenly became rapid, and pictures flashed rapidly in his mind:

The ferocious insects spread all over the mountains and plains like a tidal wave, and one brother and comrade after another was torn to pieces and swallowed up by the swarm of insects one after another;

In the end, he was the only one left, roaring "for the Emperor" and launched a desperate charge towards the swarm.

"Bang!"

——

Lu Mingze was awakened from his sleep by a sudden noise.

Turning on the light, he saw his cousin's face looking as ferocious as if he wanted to kill someone.

The old laptop screen they shared had a hole in it and was hanging on Lu Mingfei's arm.

April 22, 2007 at 0:27 am.

"Lu Mingfei! Why are you so crazy in the middle of the night!"

"You secretly play games and smash your computer into this! Do you know how much it costs to buy a new one!"

"Can't you save me some trouble? Narusawa will have to study on the computer tomorrow!"

…

The aunt, who was wearing pajamas, frowned and scolded Lu Mingfei angrily.

But Lu Mingfei just sat there with a dull expression, his head lowered, and said nothing.

He didn't even notice the bleeding wound on his arm, scratched by a fragment of the screen.

In the end, the uncle who was still yawning repeatedly noticed something was wrong with Lu Mingfei, and pulled his aunt back after drinking a large glass of water and was about to scold her for the second round:

"Okay, stop scolding, haven't you seen that this kid Mingfei is not in a good mental state?"

"Isn't it because the high school entrance examination is approaching and I'm under too much pressure that I've lost my mind?"

"If he is insane, he can't smash the computer!"

Auntie glared at him.

"Okay, okay, if you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Don't you think it's a joke to the neighbors to be making trouble here in the middle of the night... Ha——"

Uncle yawned again, he was really sleepy.

"I really admire you. You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Do you know how much a laptop costs..."

Auntie said dissatisfiedly.

"Mom! What should I do if I need to use the computer tomorrow?"

Lu Mingze shouted.

"I know, mom will take you to the computer city tomorrow to get a new one!"

Lu Mingze's fleshy round face showed a hint of secret joy. He had long wanted to replace this old and backward IBM laptop.

But he couldn't open his mouth, and he didn't expect that his cousin's sudden madness tonight would give him what he wanted.

After saying that, Auntie looked at Lu Mingfei again:

"The money you spend to buy a computer will be deducted from your living expenses! And your pocket money will also be cancelled..."

As soon as the lights were turned off, uncle, aunt, and cousin all went back to their rooms and continued to sleep.

Because of Lu Mingfei's unstable mental state, Lu Mingze locked the door, fearing that his head would be hit next.

The living room returned to darkness and calm, leaving Lu Mingfei alone and continuing to sit on the chair.

After a long time, his body trembled slightly and tears burst into his face:

"It's not an illusion...I'm really back..."

He finally returned to his dreaming hometown.

For this, Lu Mingfei has been waiting for too long.

It begins when the soul goes to that desperate universe and becomes a human slave tortured by orcs.

He was like a walking zombie, and he spent three years struggling in purgatory every day.

Until one day, a group of noble angel-like warriors landed on this planet, and fought bloody battles with the orcs on the entire planet for their humble slaves, who were worse than ants.

He witnessed the bloodshed of these noble warriors who were unwilling to abandon them and insisted on taking them to evacuate;

He witnessed that the human slaves did not want these noble warriors to be buried with them, and they knelt down collectively and begged them to take their children and evacuate this hell, and die voluntarily;

He witnessed a Lamenter warrior being decapitated by an orc in an attempt to save him.

After luckily evacuating with the Lamenters, Lu Mingfei was not happy at all, and spent every day in painful regret:

"You are all fools for dying to save a loser like me..."

He began to masochistically demand training, from a miscellaneous servant to a battle group servant...

Then he was selected by the Lamenter Chapter Master to inherit the gene-seed and glory of the Lamenter warrior who died for him and become an Astartes.

"Why did you choose a waste like me..."

"Destiny...maybe it's in your eyes that I see his shadow. I want you to inherit his seeds and let our brothers return in another way."

After enduring nineteen body modification surgeries and various cruel trials.

Lu Mingfei transformed from a short and thin slave into a warrior over two meters tall with a superhuman body——

Astartes.

Also known as the "Emperor's Death Angel" in awe by mortals.

In the brutal expedition that followed for one hundred and seven years, Lu Mingfei fought his way out of the mountain of corpses and became the champion warrior of the Lamenters Chapter.

Together with his brothers, he faced all evil enemies with lofty faith and will.

Until the end, the battle group wanted to ensure that tens of thousands of humans could evacuate.

A fierce battle for the ground began with the Hive Fleet that wanted to swallow up the entire planet's biomass.

In order to protect his brothers and human refugees from evacuating safely, Lu Mingfei led a tactical team to retreat and face the Tyranids that were tens of thousands times larger than his own.

I thought I would sleep forever and return to the golden throne.

But I never imagined that I would return to my hometown again.

"That man is my uncle..."

"That woman..."

Lu Mingfei worked hard to dig out the connection between the two men and one woman and himself from that dusty memory.

Time can make people forget a lot, especially for Lu Mingfei who has been fighting bloody battles with vicious enemies in the universe for nearly a hundred years.

His impression of his hometown was that it was a paradise world without war.

And I have my parents and relatives there.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Mingfei got up and walked to the bathroom.

Lu Mingfei fumbled awkwardly for the switch to turn on the light, and saw his young and tender face in the mirror.

His current biological age is only 16 years old.

And here is a peaceful society that pursues science and progress and has perfect laws to protect citizens.

Different from that one, although it has a magnificent history of 40,000 years and covers more than half of the galaxy, it is a dystopian and decadent human empire that combines highly centralized power, religious rule, extreme militarism, and extreme xenophobia.

"We need to re-adapt to this society..."

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, feeling glad that he had controlled his emotions.

Most Astartes warriors and chapters have an attitude of indifference or even disgust toward ordinary people——

Even before undergoing reconstructive surgery, they were ordinary people.

Fortunately, the Lamenters are one of the few warbands with a particularly gentle attitude toward mortals.

In addition, before Lu Mingfei became the champion of the battle group, he also served as the holy blood priest of the battle group, so he can control his emotions very well under normal circumstances.

If they had been Astartes warriors from other chapters, I am afraid that just now, my uncle's family would have been killed on the spot.
