After the two sides talked to this extent, Su Mo had basically figured out Lu Mingze's purpose, and also figured out the reason why Xia Mi's experience was different from that in the original work.
All of these were caused by Lu Mingze's prediction of his own appearance, which triggered many chain reactions.
After understanding this, Su Mo subconsciously asked with some doubts.
"Speaking of which, if you want to use me to escape the prison of fate, why not just recruit me directly?"
To be honest, if both parties are unfamiliar with each other at the beginning, let him choose.
Whether to work as an undercover agent with Miss Xia Mi, or to become popular and drink spicy food with the nanny group, and to rely on Lu Mingze, an evil force, Su Mo would definitely choose Lu Mingze's nanny group without saying a word.
Although Miss Xia Mi is good-looking, the three nannies in the nanny group are all very beautiful beauties. They are not much different, and they have different styles, and they are all very eye-catching.
The most important thing is that the nanny group has money, leisure and support, while Miss Xia Mi only has a tablet besides being good-looking.
Following Xia Mi, although he didn't go hungry for nine meals in three days, Su Mo was basically on tenterhooks and was always planning how to upgrade and fight monsters.
If you were under Lu Mingze, you wouldn't have to work so hard. You could just lie down and slowly upgrade.
Even if he went to the meeting alone this time, Su Mo had considered surrendering and other options. As long as he was still there, everything would be recovered. At worst, he would wait until the development was completed before rebelling. Su Mo didn't have much psychological pressure on defeating the superior.
Of course, if it were Su Mo now, he would naturally choose Xia Mi between the two.
It's not because of any strange emotional factors, it's simply because Miss Xia Mi is too unreliable and cannot be left alone.
Hearing Su Mo ask this, Lu Mingze shook his head.
"At that time, in addition to confirming your ability, I also wanted to observe your personality. But you know my existence, so I am not suitable for observation."
Lu Mingze said it very tactfully, but Su Mo immediately understood his concerns.
The Book of Destiny dyed with ink by Su Mo is indeed freed from its original shackles, but no one guarantees that the fate after breaking away will be better than before.
If Su Mo is really a born evil party, or a being who will bring misfortune to those around him, then letting him dye the nanny group with his own color would be a big deal for Lu Mingze.
The nanny group may not be the most important thing to him, but it won't work if Lu Mingfei is also involved.
Freedom also means losing control.
Therefore, he wanted to push Xia Mi, who was almost alone, to Su Mo, and wanted to confirm whether Su Mo was a trustworthy ally by observing Su Mo's reaction.
If Su Mo is allowed to join the nanny group, Lu Mingze's presence will still interfere with Su Mo's choice, and his true intentions will not be clear.
After understanding this, Su Mo couldn't help but mourn for Miss Xia Mi.
Miss Xia Mi was so miserable, she was completely teased.
Fortunately, she has herself as the subject, so she won't be teased by others in the future.
Looking at it this way, Miss Xia Mi should really thank herself.
"And besides that, there's another reason."
Seeing Su Mo's expression, he probably understood what he meant, so Lu Mingze spoke again.
"Even if you can disrupt destiny, it doesn't mean that you can break the cage of destiny by doing nothing."
"Actually, I have made calculations. If you really join me, your growth rate will be much slower than it is now. In the end, it is very likely that you will encounter someone before you can grow enough to crush your destiny.
In the final judgment, everything will return to nothingness in the end.”
"..."
Hearing this, Su Mo hesitated slightly and couldn't really refute.
If he was working on Lu Mingze's side, he would indeed not have any sense of crisis.
After all, the little devil is on his side, so how many things in the world are worth worrying about?
With Lu Mingze standing by, he was enjoying himself. What happened?
In this case, your growth rate may indeed be much slower.
The most lacking thing in the dragon world is time. The end of the world is coming before our eyes, and the predicted doomsday is approaching every second.
but--
"That's not entirely true, right? Wouldn't it be easier to upgrade if you were here?"
Su Mo proposed another possibility.
If Lu Mingze is asked to help him with logistics, he can start with the Bronze and Fire King. Putting Miss Xia Mi and Fenrir aside first, it should be no problem to devour the White King. Wouldn't this upgrade speed be faster?
Is it fast?
However, Lu Mingze shook his head when he heard this.
"The power of dragons alone is not enough to fight against the Supreme Being. You should know this."
If these dragon bone crosses were useful, he would not leave them to Odin.
"That's right, so the key to breaking the situation is cheating!"
Su Mo nodded clearly. He had also made the same conclusion before. Just standing in the dragon system could not defeat the Black King. He had to surpass him.
Seeing his thoughtful look, Lu Mingze's heart moved and he was secretly happy.
This shows that Su Mo does understand where his power to disrupt destiny comes from.
If Su Mo has his own direction, it will be very simple to make him stronger. You just need to meet his needs.
"In short, if you want to overcome the Doomsday Judgment, you need to maximize your potential, so you must sincerely want to help break the cage of fate and give full play to your subjective initiative. Therefore, you are not suitable for people like Mai and others.
Just like working for others."
Lu Mingze concluded this.
This is the biggest reason why he did not treat Su Mo as a tool, but treated him very seriously as an ally.
If he wants Su Mo to help him break through the cage of fate, he must fully cooperate with Su Mo himself. Otherwise, even if he messes up a little, it may lead to final failure.
Ordinary threats and intimidations are not applicable to Su Mo, a time traveler. He is alone, so he has nothing to fear.
"Furthermore, your existence is very special. You cannot go back like others. Therefore, we only have one chance."
Because there is only one chance, there is no room for testing or bargaining.
If Su Mo didn't go all out, Lu Mingze wouldn't be able to achieve his goal, so he would hide nothing from Su Mo.
Otherwise, if he does something that makes Su Mo disgusted, Su Mo only needs to show off a little bit, and his purpose will most likely be completely defeated.
For Lu Mingze, Su Mo's existence is probably equivalent to a very precise and epoch-making fragile instrument. It may stop if you are not careful, so you must treat his request with the most cautious and gentle attitude, and do not take any chances.
.
After hearing Lu Mingze's description, Su Mo immediately understood why the other party was so candid.
If you are not honest, you are almost destined to fail, so Lu Mingze has no choice.
Well, this should be considered one of Lu Mingze's weaknesses. Let's write it down for now, maybe it will be used in the future.
"But even if you say that, I'm still working part-time here with Xia Mi!"
He complained casually.
Hearing this, Lu Mingze gave him an extremely speechless look.
"Could it be that Jormungandr is not working for you?"
Xia Mi has been busy for so long, and all the upgrades have been given to Su Mo.
Who works for whom? Don’t you have some idea in your mind?
He is not a naive person like Jörmungandr, who would be bullied into confusion by Su Mo's words.
"Ahem! Don't sow discord between me and my monarch!"
Su Mo cleared his throat and decided to ignore this topic.
"Your purpose is to let me help break my fate, but you can't use force on me, so you can only induce me to do it sincerely - so to speak, you specially brought Xia Mi here, in addition to the reason for testing,
There should be elements of a honey trap, right? Why do you Dragon Kings like to play this trick?"
Speaking of this, he was a little speechless. Why did everyone like Xia Mi and Lu Mingze like to play this trick?
Do you all only have beauty traps in your mind? Is this the legendary dragon-natured nature?
Although it’s not like he doesn’t want to do this.
"Although there is no denying that I have thoughts in this regard! But you think too highly of me in this regard. Although I can slightly guide the actions of the Dragon King, I cannot interfere with their thoughts."
Lu Mingze spread his hands and said helplessly.
"So, apart from guiding you to meet, I can't interfere in other matters. What Jormungandr does is all of her own accord and has nothing to do with me."
With Xia Mi's character, what can he do?
If possible, Lu Mingze also hopes that Xia Mi can be smarter and stronger, so that he can also be a hands-off shopkeeper and not have to work part-time as a nanny.
Having said this, he shook his head with regret.
"It's a pity that you came here alone this time. If you come together as two people, it means that your progress has reached the level of complete trust in life and death. In that case, even if I don't say more, you will want to be satisfied
Her wish!"
Going alone to protect the other party, or going together to live and die together, which one represents the deeper feeling?
Lu Mingze obviously expected the latter.
If that's the case, given the relationship between the two, Su Mo would want to take the initiative to break away from the prison of fate and destroy the destined doomsday judgment, even for Xia Mi. In this way, Su Mo's purpose would naturally be consistent with his.
Hearing Lu Mingze's words, Su Mo shook his head in disbelief.
"It's too simplistic for you to think like this. We have only met for a month. Even if we don't talk about this, I can't really let her come over. After all, she still has Fenrir to take care of, and she still has other things to do in this world.
Things to do."
Su Mo is different. He doesn't have many ties in this world. The ones he has the most contact with are Xia Mi and Fenrir. But precisely because of this, he can't let them get involved.
That's why he made the choice to go to the banquet alone.
"But that's what I'm worried about..."
Lu Mingze sighed.
He wished he could bring the two of them together on the spot, and it would be better to give birth to ten or eight dragon cubs, so that Su Mo could refresh the world, and everyone could fight that monster together.
Rather than letting Su Mo still act like "I'm here for a trip" and "That sounds interesting, go on."
Seeing his distressed look, Su Mo couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"It seems that your honey trap failed?"
He didn't mind that Lu Mingze continued to increase his offensive.
He hasn't seen Eriyi yet.
"Failure? We can't talk about it now."
Lu Mingze shook his head.
Then, as if he saw or guessed something, he was slightly startled, and the corners of his mouth gradually curved up in a slightly joyful arc.
"Also, although I don't know much about it, women are not things that can be summed up by common sense. They can even destroy the world for the sake of love... Simply the length of time cannot measure emotional factors, so don't be too careless!"
"What's the meaning?"
Su Mo glanced at Lu Mingze doubtfully.
The Riddler, get out of Gotham City.
"nothing."
Lu Mingze shook his head and then changed the topic.
"So, do you have anything else to ask?"
Su Mo saw that he was changing the subject, but he really had no intention of continuing to discuss topics like what kind of creatures women are with a child who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old.
After hearing what he said, he immediately nodded and asked straight to the point.
"Yes, there is a problem with your identity!"
He stared directly at Lu Mingze and asked.
"Who are you, or your brother Lu Mingfei?"
Now, Su Mo has basically figured out all his problems.
Whether it was his encounter with Xia Mi or Lu Mingze's reason for finding him, he already understood it.
But there are still many mysteries about Lu Mingze that have not been explained.
The first thing that bears the brunt is his identity.
While saying, "On the day I return to the world, all rebels will die," he also said that the Black King Nidhogg is his greatest enemy.
What kind of truth is hidden behind such contradictory sides?
"What is something? Isn't there a more polite way of saying it?"
Lu Mingze was not surprised when he heard Su Mo's question, but he was quite dissatisfied with the way he asked the question and couldn't help but muttered.
Should you answer whether you are a thing or not a thing?
"I'm sorry, you can change it into an existence. What kind of existence are you and your brother?"
Su Mo immediately changed his mind and asked again, not giving Lu Mingze a chance to get through.
Lu Mingze did not intend to completely muddle through. Since he wanted to be honest, it was natural that the other party would ask about this.
But this time, he did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
"What do you think?"
After saying that, in order to prevent Su Mo from digging into the details, he immediately spoke.
"Although I don't mind showing sincerity, there is no reason to show sincerity unconditionally and unilaterally. I can disclose some information about me, but if you have already made some guesses, I can add a little bit of supplements and give you some other necessary information.
information."
Lu Mingze is not Xia Mi, he is not a casual PU...ahem, someone who will let go of all his wariness after being fooled.
Although he would fully demonstrate his sincerity, he would not unconditionally agree to Su Mo's request.
With his character, he might not mind losing everything.
"All right!"
Su Mo nodded, but he could accept this.
If Lu Mingze was really willing to agree to whatever he asked for, he would be worried.
With his character being so patient and humiliated, there is a high probability that he is already thinking about backstabbing, so it would be better for everyone to show their conditions.
It was the same as the negotiation between Xia Mi and him at the beginning.
If both parties do not show their red lines, one of them will inevitably cross the bottom line, leading to irreversible consequences.
If you don't want to do this, you must discuss it at the beginning. If you can't bear it anymore, it will only hurt both sides.
In addition, recalling what he saw in Chu Tianjiao's cabin before, combined with the previous conversation between the two, Su Mo did have some guesses about Lu Mingze's identity.
