Chapter 368 Wind Chimes
"Commissioner Lu, although I feel that you do not need assistance, the brothers are still prepared. As long as you give the order, the brothers will rush into the building to cover you!"
The driver and commissioner turned around and said seriously, with a look on his face that we are ready to sacrifice our lives and blood for the school.
Lu Mingfei took the hand he extended and shook it vigorously: "I accept the offer, but it's not necessary. Let's take the brothers to have a barbecue. The money will be reimbursed when the time comes. It's such a nice summer night.
It's such a terrible sight to stay downstairs in fear. If it weren't for the mission, I would have taken my wife to participate in the fireworks festival."
He got out of the car first and then opened the door on the other side. The long dark red hair fell smoothly behind the girl. Eri was wearing a short batik dress with the hem falling to her knees and white high-heeled straps at her feet.
Sandals, the slightly tight arc of the calf is so beautiful that it makes people's hearts flutter.
She held Long Zai Zai with one hand and took Lu Mingfei's hand with the other. The two walked slowly towards the main entrance of the building, leisurely like a pair of tourists attending a dance.
Lu Mingfei looked up and saw that the entire building was completely dark. The originally planned opening ceremony had disappeared without a trace. Only a certain room on the top floor had lights on.
What the other party meant was already obvious.
Lu Mingfei was still standing downstairs, but he had already locked onto the only person on the top floor...Long.
The other party seemed completely unprepared to escape and had no response to his temptation.
Lu Mingfei stood in front of the elevator, looking at the declining numbers, inexplicably distracted, until the elevator door slowly opened with a ding, bringing him back to his thoughts.
He and Eriki walked into the elevator and pressed the top floor button.
The elevator rose silently and steadily to the top floor. When I walked out of the elevator door, I realized that this entire floor was not an office building, but had been transformed into a "home" that belonged to someone alone.
Every lamp in the house was lit. Lu Mingfei walked slowly, observing the furnishings and layout of the house, the open kitchen, the spacious and somewhat exaggerated living room, and the bamboo chairs and tea cups placed in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
table……
It looks like someone lives here all year round.
There was an elderly figure walking in the kitchen.
Lu Mingfei pulled Hui Liyi and sat on a bamboo chair in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. On the tea table in front of him were two cups of freshly brewed hot tea, as well as various drinks and drinks. Lu Mingfei even saw Internet cafe regulars among them.
Nutrition Express, it seems that the owner doesn’t know their tastes and simply puts everything in front of them.
He did not rush to find the other party, but quietly sat by the floor-to-ceiling window and waited.
He casually took a bottle of freshly squeezed orange juice, opened it in front of Eriyi, and then took a bottle of Nutrition Express for himself. Back then, he would always order a bottle of this thing when he stayed up late at the Internet cafe, but rarely after he went to college.
See, Kassel doesn’t have this stuff either, so it’s hard to believe that the owner here specially bought it.
Lu Mingfei looked sideways at the city outside the window. What he could see here was unmistakable. The lights under his feet were winding like dragons and snakes. In the distance, Lake Michigan was particularly quiet at night. The sparkling water was faintly visible. There was no doubt that the owner was a dragon.
These guys lived a really good life when they were young.
There were footsteps from the kitchen.
The elderly man walked slowly over with two plates of exquisite desserts and placed them on the tea table in front of them with a smile.
"Tiramisu, I just made it. We don't have much raw materials in the kitchen, so we didn't serve it well."
He was like the owner of a snack shop, warmly entertaining a couple who walked into the shop tonight, but the aura on his body made Eri look wary. He slowly sat down, smiled gently at the girl, and looked at the girl.
On Lu Mingfei’s body.
Lu Mingfei stared at the old man in front of him and said his name.
"Edjoe."
"Long time no see, Your Majesty." Edcho's eyes fell on their clothes, "You have changed a lot and you have forgotten a lot. Time has changed you as you wish."
"I didn't expect it would be you here." Lu Mingfei said softly.
"I'm sorry, it would have been more appropriate to replace him with Smith, but we lost him temporarily and he needs time to re-cocoon." Edjo said regretfully.
Lu Mingfei's eyes narrowed: "Who killed him?"
The only people who can kill a first-generation species must be those at the same level, or those who are still superior to the first-generation species.
"If nothing else, it was Frixis who took action." Edjo said slowly, "He is back again, and like you, he has returned to this world and started hunting us."
"Frisis? He's back already?" Lu Mingfei was stunned on the spot.
It shouldn't be during this time period. Frisis did return in the previous life... No, it wasn't even Frixis himself who returned at that time, but the third person who usurped the power of Frixis like Herzog.
Three generations of black kings.
He was born into the Gattuso family and put the Gattuso family on the throne.
Lu Mingfei suddenly realized something - where was the Presbyterian Church in the previous life?
When he was born, the world fell into the hands of Odin and the Black King respectively, and there was no place for the Elders in this world.
They are either still lurking in the darkness of the world, or they have died on the eve of the war.
At this moment, Edjo told him that Frixis had returned and started hunting the Presbyterian Church.
He didn't doubt that Adjou was deceiving him, because there was no need for it, and he didn't even doubt it. It was an inexplicable instinct. He didn't think that Adjoo would deceive him face to face.
"Is Your Majesty disappointed?" Edjo said suddenly, "It seems that Your Majesty likes the gift Smith prepared for you before he fell asleep, but unfortunately, he can't come to see you for the time being. If he knew that you had changed into something he had prepared for you,
He will be very happy with the clothes you prepared, just like in the past."
Lu Mingfei was in a daze for a moment.
The chaotic lights and shadows in my mind alternated uncontrollably, and memories were like a tide, spreading gently and unstoppably onto the deserted beach in my memory.
A familiar figure walked in the hazy sunshine, slowly knelt before the Bronze Highness, and presented a gift brought from afar.
…
Smith.
Yes, Your Majesty.
What gift did you bring for me this time?
Your Majesty, while exploring a ruins, I discovered a decorative object and modified it to be able to decorate this somewhat empty temple.
Oh? What object is it?
This object is hung under the beam of the house and moves with the wind. It can sway with a clear and melodious sound. I call it a wind chime.
Wind chimes?
…
The sound of the wind chimes in my memory is as melodious as the Asakusa moving with the wind in the distant highlands, but it is also so lonely, as if the loneliness has echoed for ten thousand years.
He remembered.
Smith is the priest of the temple. He is responsible for surveying terrain changes and species research. Every once in a while, he travels around the world and brings objects from far away to him who has been living in the palace for a long time.
Sometimes it is a small bag of seeds that can grow pure white flowers that have never been seen before; sometimes it is a strange animal that was born recently to fill the ecological palace; sometimes it is a new discovery from exploring unknown ruins;
After becoming a human species, he always brings some strange little objects...
Just like this box.
Lu Mingfei slowly raised his head.
There is an indescribable soul awakening at this moment.
He woke up from his long sleep and opened his eyes to see this desolate world. He slowly stood up from his seat and stood in front of the window with his back to everyone, overlooking the city below him and the magnificent night sky above his head.
The world is still the same, but it has put on a new layer of clothing.
In the end, he said nothing and just stared at the world in front of him quietly, but the familiar majesty that filled his field of vision still overwhelmed Edcho's dignity.
The latter knelt down on one knee silently and respectfully, lowering his noble head.
At this moment, he finally guessed some truths that had long been lost in history.
Your Majesty has changed, but he has not changed. He is still who he is. Even the passage of time, which is long enough to corrupt the soul of the first generation, cannot change him in the slightest.
He stabilized himself in the time that lasted to eternity, sitting and watching the ebb and flow of the world, watching this equally lonely world alone, shouldering the fate of his ethnic group.
At this moment, Edcho couldn't help but burst into tears. He was delighted with His Majesty's immortality, but for some unknown reason felt sad for His Majesty's eternity.
Normal updates will resume on the 6th and 7th, at least then I won’t have to fill out various reports and provide audit information.
Hmm... Speaking of which, I'm not sure what my normal update method is.
