Lin Nian was silent. It was indeed a weapon capable of killing the Dragon King. If the Philosopher's Stone directly pierced the Dragon King's heart, it was indeed very possible to use the poison to kill that great thing, but it was difficult for him to imagine that Chu Zihang How did he get close to "Jörmungandr" and stab the opponent's scale-covered body with the folding knife?
He suddenly seemed to understand something and looked at Chu Zihang, "At that time you..."
"Three times of violent bloodshed, I thought I would die, but I survived." Chu Zihang said softly.
That was a miracle. No one would have thought that Chu Zihang could survive three times of violent bloodshed by resisting the backlash of dragon blood. This was probably due to the fact that he was picked up by the medical team arranged by Angers to cleanse the blood as soon as he got to the ground. The therapy had something to do with it, but he survived anyway. Although there were consequences, he finally completed the great feat of killing the King of Earth and Mountain in the eyes of everyone. This is why even now many people in the Secret Party know that he The reason why he still turned a blind eye to him despite his bloodline issue.
With the merit of killing the Dragon King, Chu Zihang was able to gain everyone's trust before his death.
"Awesome." Even Lin Nian had to admit that this was an incredible achievement.
He suddenly didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent. It wasn't until a long time later that he asked, "You have killed the King of the Earth and Mountains. What about the "Emperor"?"
But before he opened his mouth, he immediately realized where the "emperor" came from.
If he did not exist in this world, the "Emperor" would not have joined forces with Jörmungandr, and the Nibelungen game called "Nine Ghost Realms" would not exist. Probably in this world, they would finally The boss at the end of the level is the king of the earth and the mountain. Chu Zihang successfully killed them and prevented the disaster from happening.
Everything seems so simple.
"You came to me just to ask about what happened under the Northern Nibelungs?" Chu Zihang asked, "Is this your purpose?"
"How many people died?" Lin Nian suddenly asked, "The incident in the Northern Nibelungen."
"Many people were injured, but the death toll was not many. Most of them were caused by the weasels in the Nibelungs after they escaped from the surface. Caesar Gattuso and a group of European hybrids sealed them in the building. We will solve them one by one." Chu Zihang replied.
"That's really...a miracle." Lin Young said in a low voice.
Chu Zihang seemed to notice something, looked at Lin Nian and asked, "Are many people already dead on your side?"
He still thought Lin Nian's previous remarks were absurd. He could see the daze in the boy's eyes at that moment, and remembering that he had seen him downstairs through the glass curtain wall with his head hanging down in a daze, he couldn't help but ask. solved this problem.
I don't know why, but looking at the boy's indifferent and thoughtful look, he seemed to really see that in a certain reflection, in a certain trance world, there really was another Nibelung, and in that Nibelung Among them... despair and death are rampant. But what is causing that despair? Who is spreading death? In addition to the king of the earth and the mountain, is there anything more dangerous?
"Many people died, many people who should not have been involved," Lin Nian said.
Moreover, tragedies are still happening every minute and every second now. Those who were forced to enter the Nibelungen are all involved in this tragedy, fleeing, despairing, and dying, constantly repeating themselves.
Then you are really unlucky.
Chu Zihang did not say this sentence, and he would not say such words. Regarding the emotion that might be fictional, but made him feel sad inexplicably, his way of coping was silence.
"In short, you stopped the King of Earth and Mountain, single-handedly, without relying on anyone's help, and you still kept the casualties to a minimum." Lin Young asked in a loud voice.
"No, Lu Mingfei was also present at that time." Chu Zihang said.
"Lu Mingfei?" Lin Young Man chuckled, "That's right, how could he be absent from such a thing? I'm afraid he made a great contribution in that battle."
Chu Zihang raised his head slightly and looked at Lin Nian.
Because Lin Nian said one thing that he had never succeeded in proving - even if he finally dragged his gun towards the successfully integrated "Hela", he was blind at the last moment and could not see the enemy with his own eyes. When he collapsed, Lu Mingfei rushed to his side, told him that everything was over, and sent him to the train leaving the subway.
But what no one said was that the moment before he fell into coma, he heard an earth-shattering roar coming from the depths of the subway. The solemn declaration and the sound of swords were like a battlefield of gods, and the gods' Singing softly, it was so similar to Lu Mingfei's voice.
He didn't know if it was his auditory hallucination, or if it was real. All he knew was that when he woke up, he was already in the hospital. Minister Schneider told him that everything was over, and Lu Mingfei The mission report reported that he successfully stopped "Hela" and strangled the signs of destruction in the deep subway tunnel.
No one has ever attributed the credit for killing "Hela" to Lu Mingfei, except Chu Zihang himself.
"Yes, he made a great contribution. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to get out of the subway alive. The King of Earth and Mountain might really destroy everything." Chu Zihang nodded.
"You have done a very good job...really very well." Lin Nian looked at Chu Zihang and said seriously, "At least I can't do what you have done. Senior brother, and Lu Mingfei, you are really Very powerful.”
"Thank you..." Chu Zihang didn't understand the meaning of Lin Nian's words, but he felt the other party's recognition, a kind of... tired recognition.
"Regarding 'Odin', what are you going to do now?" Lin Nian asked Chu Zihang, "As far as I'm concerned, that thing can't be solved by three violent attacks. Have you ever thought about what to do after you find him?" What?"
"Let's talk about it after we find it." Chu Zihang said calmly.
If he can find it, it will definitely end with him roaring and wielding a knife against God. The debt between him and Odin will always be settled with a knife and blood. But if Odin can't be found, this is also a possibility. , then Chu Zihang will probably be assigned to a jurisdiction like most of the commissioners of the execution department, repeating the daily tasks, continuing the blood-washing treatment while giving up the blood refining technology, and living the rest of his life peacefully.
"Is this the life you want...or the future you want?" Lin Nian asked.
"You want to ask me if I regret it?" Chu Zihang was keenly aware of what Lin Nian really wanted to ask, "If so, the answer is that I have never regretted it."
Yes, Chu Zihang has never regretted reaching this point. In other words, this is the future he is willing to run towards, and it is also something that does not require anyone's intervention. It belongs to Chu Zihang's own future.
Everything he did and wanted didn't require anyone to say anything or criticize. That's why when Lin Nian mentioned that his lineage was on the verge of collapse, he said that that was not something Lin Nian should worry about. .
He is responsible for what he has done, and he will not regret it because there may be a better choice, and he does not need anyone to advise him on what he should do and what he should not do.
"Chu Zihang, have you ever thought that if someone could help you, would you feel...easier?" Lin Nian suddenly asked softly.
Chu Zihang looked up at Lin Nian and replied calmly, "This is my own business. I don't want anyone to be dragged down by my personal affairs. My current situation is not as bad as you think. At least until now, I You're still alive, and you still have time to find the whereabouts of 'Odin', right?"
Yes, Chu Zihang is actually not bad now. As long as he does not continue to bleed out and receives appropriate blood-cleansing treatment, he can still live for a long time. Who can deny the life he has spent?
Among the friends Lin Nian knew, Chu Zihang was the one who reached out to him the least in need of help.
What’s interesting is that even though he had been actively trying to help him, in the end, Chu Zihang was the first to fall during the Nibelungen Incident in the North, and he didn’t even have the chance to complete the “Three Degrees of Violence” The great deed that killed the King of Earth and Mountain, but came close to burning himself to prevent the plane from falling.
Until now, Chu Zihang is still with Xia Mi, the potential biggest threat, and Chu Zihang at this time is also in the weakest state... Can he be like the Chu Zihang sitting in front of him now? At this point, putting on an executive department suit is a problem.
And what caused all this...
"Although I don't know what's bothering you, I can see that you seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding." Chu Zihang looked at Lin Nian who was becoming more and more silent. Something in his heart moved slightly, and he suddenly spoke, attracting Lin Nian slowly raised his head and looked at him.
"...Can you and the Chu Zihang you are familiar with be considered friends?" Chu Zihang asked.
"Very good friends." Lin Nian nodded.
"You asked a lot about things related to me. What are you worried about?... What are you determining?" Chu Zihang looked directly into Lin Nian's eyes, "What are you... measuring?"
"No, it's nothing." Lin Nian shook his head to avoid Chu Zihang's eyes, and turned to look outside the glass curtain wall of the coffee shop.
After a moment, he suddenly said: "Chu Tianjiao's safe house is in a basement in the factory area of Media Asia Group in Babaoshan. It is a three-story building and is easy to find. You can ask a middle-aged man named Liang there. The security guard asked for directions. There may be some discrepancies in the names, but they are pretty much the same. Everything you want is there."
"you..."
"You can leave. I've finished asking the questions I want to ask. I have other guests to meet."
After saying that, Lin Nian stopped talking, and he was given an order to be kicked out, which symbolized that this strange meeting and strange questions and answers were over. It seemed that both parties got the answers they wanted, so this conversation should be here. Finish.
The cafe fell into dead silence, with only the sound of rain,
After a long time, Chu Zihang stood up from his position. He did not ask Lin Nian where the information came from. He just picked up the tennis bag on the table, took the black umbrella hanging on the guardrail, and walked from the bottom of the building next to him. Go to the next floor.
Lin Nian listened to his footsteps and sat expressionless, staring at the coffee grounds in the ashtray on the table.
The footsteps downstairs stopped.
"Your name is...Lin Nian, right?"
Chu Zihang's calm voice came from below. Lin Nian looked down and saw the cold and sharp man in a suit standing in front of the door of the coffee shop. He half-opened the door and turned sideways to face the wind and rain outside, looking up. He said:
"No matter what you are worried about, as far as the question you just asked... If there is a friend who is willing to sincerely try to help me and worry about me, I will be really happy - whether he helps me in the end or not It’s up to me.”
After saying that, he opened the black umbrella and left the cafe, disappeared into the yellow street lights chopped up by the heavy rain outside the glass curtain wall, and disappeared from Lin Nian's sight on the second floor.
