"The rain is going to stop."

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."
