Lu Mingfei raised his head. The dense rain clouds over the city were receding, and the elemental turbulence dissipated as a certain Nibelung fell asleep.
"After all, little Loki is very timid." Qianying appeared next to Lu Mingfei and the priest. She intertwined her hands behind her back, looked up with a smile and said, "He is not his brother. He likes to hide the most.
Behind the scenes. After this battle, even if he didn't expect your return, it was enough for him to keep a low profile for a while."
"When I see you, I can't help but imagine what it would be like to step on your face." Lu Mingfei said from the bottom of his heart.
Knowns' eyes widened, pointing to his flawless face, and asked: "You can actually do something to a beauty of my level?!"
"So what I'm doing is kicking." Lu Mingfei looked forward, "I'm sorry, you two have to leave the show temporarily."
The priest and Norns also saw the figure walking in the rain, smiled slightly, and disappeared in place.
The figure walked alone in the pattering rain, with an expression of indifference and deathly silence.
She passed by Lu Mingfei.
"It's really cold. Why don't you chat for a while?" The man waiting with an umbrella said with a wry smile.
"There's nothing to talk about. Do you want to kill me?"
"It looks like there is no point in life and death. How about an exchange? Anyway, I'm not afraid of death, so it's not a big deal to make a deal with the devil, right?"
"Exchange for what?"
"Anything is fine, as long as you ask, so in exchange?"
"What I want is not something you can give me."
His words were still stubborn and cold, like a stubborn child who refused to bow his head until death.
The girl who was already in Jörmungandr did not stay too long and walked into the distance alone.
"Hey, I was rejected." Knowns stepped forward curiously and looked at the girl's leaving back.
"Human beings are really contradictory and dishonest creatures. Even though they are not even afraid of death, they run away from them in fear." There was a heartfelt emotion in the priest's voice, "Who would have thought that, in the Fifth Sun Era,
Such an imperfect race was born."
"We Xiaomi are not human beings." Norns smiled.
"But what's the difference between her and humans?" The priest shook his head.
"That's right..." Knowns' voice was a little erratic, "But she hasn't discovered this yet, or in other words, she can't take the final step."
"Unless someone gives her a hand and pulls her across the last step." The priest completed Knownes' words with a smile.
Norns narrowed his narrow phoenix eyes and said with a smile: "We Xiaomi have only imitated humans for a few years and are almost assimilated by humans. What about you, classmate Mei?"
Ignoring the woman's teasing, the priest closed his eyes and crossed himself on his chest.
He opened his eyes and said regretfully: "I just lack someone to help me. Ms. Knowns, would you like to help me?"
"Go away! You're such a pervert! Don't try to take advantage of me!" Knownes yelled on the spot.
The priest smiled.
"Listening to you two flirting, I had the illusion that I saw the stone statues on Easter Island that had been silent for thousands of years quarreling." Lu Mingfei sighed, "Can you two please leave here gracefully?
?I don’t have time to deal with you anymore.”
"Of course. Today's goal has been achieved. I look forward to meeting you next time." The priest bowed, smiled, and turned to leave.
Norns did not leave immediately.
She stood next to Lu Mingfei and looked at Chu Zihang in the Nibelung with him. She was silent for a long time and then said quietly:
"Kungunir can penetrate destiny, but he cannot penetrate the wall of the heart. The Utopia that can resist Kungunir cannot save two hearts that are getting farther and farther away."
Lu Mingfei looked back at her strangely and said in surprise:
"Aunt Norns has had an outbreak of puberty recently? Why are you playing with scar literature here? I wonder if you are my ancestor in terms of age, but am I your ancestor in terms of scar literature?"
Double critical hit.
Knowns' expression froze, and he turned around and walked away angrily.
…
…
Fingel stood beside him, took out a crumpled but well-preserved cigarette, lit it himself, and blew out a wisp of smoke.
His hand when lighting the cigarette was very steady, and when the firelight illuminated his face, he looked as lonely as a noble prince.
His voice was unprecedentedly deep and aged: "Hey, junior brother, that girl seems to really like you."
Chu Zihang raised his head in despair and looked at Fingel, who was completely different from before.
He is no longer the off-kilter look he used to be. His eyes under his blond hair are as deep as abyss, with no end in sight. His whole aura has completely changed, from the off-kilter and unreliable Senior Brother Yanbi to a battle-hardened "old" man.
.
He is still young, but he has died long ago.
Chu Zihang still needed to use self-discipline to firmly adhere to his belief in revenge, but he didn't use it. He responded to his own determination to die by feasting and drinking heavily, and he had already burned his soul.
When he revealed his heart, his face was full of indifference and indifference, but it seemed that every word contained the truth of the world.
Fear suddenly arose in Chu Zihang's heart.
Everyone seemed to suddenly look like someone he didn't recognize...
From Junior Brother to Xia Mi, and from Xia Mi to Fingel.
Or maybe what he knew was never the truest side of everyone.
Is this the wall of the heart? The absolute distance between the heart and the heart. You feel that you are familiar with him and know him well enough, but in fact all you know is him wearing a mask.
Who in this world can take off their mask and face anyone calmly? Not even parents and children. He once hated the man called daddy with all his heart, but it was only on the day he lost him that he discovered that there was such a thing in this world.
Such a majestic and brave man, and this man happened to be his father.
This is true even among blood relatives. What can you ask of others?
But if everything is fake, then what is real?!
"Senior brother, what do you think I should do?" Chu Zihang said hoarsely.
"Why are you asking me?" Fingel sighed, tapping his heart and said, "Shouldn't you ask yourself? Just do what you want to do. Human beings can deceive others no matter how hard they are.
You can’t fool yourself.”
"It's because I don't know that I'm asking you."
"Then my answer is, go back and take a nap, sleep for two or three days, and you will be able to get the answer from your heart."
"Is this such a hasty answer?"
"Because your question is very hasty. Why should you ask others about feelings? Just do what you want. People will always meet the right person or the wrong person in their life, but even if they are at the wrong time
If you meet the wrong person, who can say that this relationship is also wrong?"
"Senior brother seems to be really experienced..."
"No, I have only loved one person in my life, and I will only love one person. The rest of my experience is accumulated by helping my fellow students to do love counseling. You are not the first, and you will never be the last. one."
"That's it..."
The boy put away Murasame and the scabbard, and staggered away into the distance.
Fingel watched him leave in silence, and then came to the fake body.
After Jormungandr found the fatal eye, all the nerve centers of the prosthetic body had been destroyed, and Fingel took off the cracked and dilapidated mask.
Under the mask is a foreigner's face, with obvious Germanic appearance characteristics.
…
…
Lu Mingfei, who was waiting by the roadside with an umbrella, finally found the man he was waiting for.
"Senior brother!" He waved and shouted, holding an umbrella and trotting to the side of the man who was soaked in the rain and seemed to have lost his soul.
Chu Zihang slowly raised his head. The everlasting golden boy in the past seemed to have been extinguished by the heavy rain. Only after seeing Lu Mingfei did his eyes light up slightly.
He stopped and sat on the side of the road. He was silent for a long time, as if he was preparing the words for his next speech.
"Junior brother, do you still remember what you said in the pizza restaurant on the day you returned to school?"
"certainly."
"But I can't remember clearly. You said at the time that I had always taken care of you, and every sentence and every word was filled with sincere and warm feelings. But I don't remember when I took care of you. We only knew each other's names at that time. But we didn’t know each other, so I felt a little inexplicable guilt and a little sad at the time, as if I had failed to live up to other people’s expectations. I once thought that was your beautiful vision of life, and everyone would hope to meet someone who can take care of themselves in every way. A 'role model', and you happen to regard me as such a 'role model'."
Chu Zihang said softly,
"But later I found out that I was wrong. You seemed to be really familiar with me, as if you had known me for a long time. When you said that a man's friendship is as strong as a diamond, I felt that our friendship and bond have really experienced more than life and death. There will also be a cruel test.”
"On the night when I returned to school, you asked me if there was a girl I grew up with who kept asking me, emphasizing to me that there is a green plum coming from the sky, and telling me not to resist stubbornly. At that time, I thought you were joking, or even Hiding myself with jokes. Until I met Xia Mi and remembered some dust-laden memories..."
"You have never hidden your identity in front of me, and you have not even taken the initiative to talk to me after revealing your identity. This kind of trust really makes me don't know how to face it."
"You said I once told you that I would help you blow up the axle of the wedding car, but I don't remember that I said this. Whose wedding car are we going to blow up?"
"You seem to have known for a long time that I would meet Xia Mi again and made various 'prophecies' about us."
"There are other scattered details, and every detail seems to tell me that we have known each other for a long, long time."
"But I really can't remember these things that I seem to be unable to forget even after I die..."
"Junior brother, what is true and what is false?"
"Or is it that I forgot a memory about us at some point?"
In the unstoppable rainstorm, the boy with light maroon eyes seemed to be back six years ago, his eyes were confused, and he suddenly couldn't find his direction.
He gradually couldn't distinguish between truth and lies, and began to doubt everything around him, including friendship, love, and even family ties.
Is his life just a series of lies?
Lu Mingfei was silent.
He stood next to his senior brother and held an umbrella for him, but he could not shield him from the rain in his heart.
He could make the rain flow back into the sky, but it could not fill the void in the boy's heart.
"Senior brother, everything is true." Lu Mingfei finally gave the answer. He knelt down beside his senior brother and whispered softly, "I will never deceive you."
"That's right." Chu Zihang responded after a long time, "Someone told me that the power of the dragon clan can not only change the future, but also the past."
He raised his head, his everlasting golden eyes were dim, mixed with many inexplicable things, his voice was trembling,
"This is unbelievable. If it were me in the past, I would never believe such a thing. But if you say that you will not deceive me, and all of this is true...can I understand it like this?"
Lu Mingfei's expression froze.
He stared silently at the gray sky in the distance, seeming to be talking to himself and responding to his senior brother's questions.
"I really should have stepped on that woman's face just now to let her know what to say and what not to say."
"...Junior brother, what was our ending in the original story?"
"It ended tragically. You killed her with your own hands and stabbed her in the heart."
"Can I kill a first-generation species?"
"Of course, as long as the girl really likes you. Do you know why in TV dramas, the villains are always overturned?
"…Because you talk a lot?"
"Congratulations on understanding this joke. Villains are always overturned because they talk too much. Besides the villains who talk too much in this world, there is also that girl who is always chattering around you. She likes you so much, please say more.
Words are nothing, she can’t wait to share her whole world with you.”
"But this is not a TV series..."
"This world is much more absurd than the TV series."
Then there was a long silence.
Time and fate are frozen together.
"Do you want me to kill her?"
Break the frozen words
Chu Zihang raised his head in disbelief. His junior brother smiled, still the familiar smiling face, but there was no trace of warmth in the smile, so that the temperature around him became freezing cold.
He's not kidding.
"Don't look at me like this. Junior sister is the Dragon King. All dragons deserve to die. Senior brother, don't you think so? And she deceived you miserably, didn't she? She was just playing around with your feelings, you are
Do you think so? I have never seen you so helpless, so I will help you kill her. What do you think of this proposal? In return, I will take a quarter of your life, is it a good deal?"
What he said was so frivolous and plain, but every word seemed to pop out of his teeth, turning into blades and forcing them between Chu Zihang's eyebrows, cruelly cutting open his heart, exposing the darkest place.
in the sun.
"What about you?!" Chu Zihang's forehead veins suddenly popped out, and he burst out uncontrollably. "Aren't you a dragon? Are you also a dragon king? You are a more powerful dragon than her, even if you hold
Odin of Kungunir is no match for you! If she deserves to die, what about you?!"
The hearty roar penetrated the rain curtain, as if all the emotions accumulated in the heart were poured out.
"I am your accomplice." Lu Mingfei said softly, "As I said, I will always stand behind you and support you in whatever you want to do. So, senior brother, do you really want to kill her? , or do you want to hug her again?"
He lowered his head slumped.
Can't give any answer.
The roar of a car engine suddenly came from the distance, and the bright light of the car lights pierced the rain curtain and shone brightly.
"Brother, the last bus is here. After missing that girl who likes you, do you still have to miss the last bus home?" Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang's back.
The boy who had lost something important didn't seem to hear him. He stood up unsteadily and walked toward the distance with slow steps.
