The setting sun sets slowly like a full disk, as if entrusted by the night, it luxuriously sheds a fiery red glow before fading out of sight in the sky.
The light shone through the folding windows in the kendo hall. The two teenagers were lying side by side on the clean floor, their sweat turning into mist and steaming under the light and shadow.
Four broken pieces of bamboo knife were scattered in the corner. The nylon rope originally wrapped around it had been completely broken. The exposed sections of high-quality bamboo at the fracture of the bamboo knife collapsed like flowers, and burrs appeared.
"Senior brother, I haven't been this crazy for a long time after you left... How long did we fight? Is it an hour?" Lu Mingfei asked panting, the hot breath from his mouth filling the slightly cool air.
There were wisps of white smoke coming out.
"It should be more than that." Chu Zihang turned his head and glanced at the sun that was about to set. His usually cold face was a little red from the long period of vigorous exercise.
"What's the calculation this time? A tie?" Lu Mingfei stood up and asked.
"It's really difficult to tell the winner with a bamboo knife, so when I fight with Caesar, I usually use a real knife and chop each other's heads." Chu Zihang said the most violent words in the calmest tone, as if he was saying
It's as easy as a kid to hit his head with an inflatable hammer.
Then he also stood up and looked at Kanshi Masamune, which Lu Mingfei had put in the corner, "Is it your new sword? It looks very good. Do you want to try the sword? I happened to have brought my Murasame too."
"There is no need to fight to the death today. There will be many opportunities in the future. Isn't there a free day in a while? I will probably participate."
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but twitching his lips as he spoke, thinking to himself, senior brother, this is the second time we meet after a year's absence. Are you going to slap Murasame on my head? Can you still be happy senior brothers?
"Are you joining too?" Chu Zihang was slightly startled.
"Freedom Day" is a holiday that students won from Principal Angers to celebrate. On this day, except for invading ice cellars and using dragon-slaying alchemy equipment, most things are allowed. Students can trample on school rules at will.
Show off your power to that little old man Manstein - provided you are not afraid of being settled by the discipline committee member who is known for his strict discipline.
Since the man named Caesar became the president of the Student Union, the confrontation between the two student organizations, the Student Union and the Lionheart Club, has become the most traditional highlight of Freedom Day. The winning side will have the right to use Norton Hall for one year and any rights with the college.
A girl has the right to date for three months without being rejected.
In name, the Free Day allows third-party forces or individuals to participate. It is not that no one once entered the battlefield with the dream of "stepping on Caesar and Chu Zihang to the top of Kassel in one fell swoop", but the result
Not pretty.
I heard that this dreamer spent a whole month running to Masashi Toyama before he could heal his trauma.
"Yes, I will probably participate as a free person, if I can catch up with one day of freedom." Lu Mingfei said.
"What do you mean? What happened to you before this?" Chu Zihang asked with a slight frown.
"It is a very important matter... Senior brother, actually I have always had a somewhat difficult problem..." Lu Mingfei said softly.
"You said that when a monster mixes into a group of Ultraman, the surrounding Ultraman think that this monster is also a partner of justice. Over time, will this monster be assimilated into a real Ultraman?"
Chu Zihang turned his head and saw Lu Mingfei staring blankly out the window at the sunset. Half of the boy's face was illuminated red, and the other half was hidden in the darkness.
"Probably...no way, even if I'm deceiving myself, it's impossible to change my genes." Chu Zihang said.
Hearing this answer, Lu Mingfei smiled for no reason.
Your answer is really like a science student, senior brother!
"Then if this monster has a monster friend, that monster friend... is a good monster, but he just likes to play games and is a bit out of tune and chatty, but he doesn't know that he is a monster and has never harmed anyone.
, do you think he deserves to die?"
The setting sun had set a few minutes longer, and most of Lu Mingfei's face was immersed in darkness.
"Why should he deserve to die?" Chu Zihang asked briefly and concisely, but his position was clear.
This is a very simple question, right? Can a monster that has never harmed anyone be called a monster? Who has the right to judge his life and death? Those Ultraman who claim to be righteous?
"Yeah, why should he die?" Lu Mingfei's voice was so soft that Chu Zihang wasn't even sure if that was what Lu Mingfei said.
Lu Mingfei thought of the day that was recorded in the history of Kassel College in his dream, and the day not long after, that sad and silent night.
The news of "Dragon Invasion" was sent to every student's mobile phone by Norma. Boys and girls were running around amid the sharp sirens. They were dressed in suits and formal skirts, holding Desert Eagles and Uzis in their hands and shouting for help.
To exterminate the invaders, the Dragon King howled angrily, and the gunfire and flames ignited the entire night.
He stood speechless before the furious Lord of Bronze and Fire.
"Old Tang, it's me! Do you still remember me?"
"Old Tang...how did you end up like this? You..."
"Look, you don't even have any clothes on..."
In that extremely noisy and dazzling night, Lu Mingfei only felt that in front of him was deathly silence and endless darkness...
He was so sad that he felt numb, as if a piece of his heart had been violently ripped out!
…
In the kendo hall, Lu Mingfei stretched his hand forward, as if he wanted to catch the fading afterglow on the horizon...
But he didn't catch it, and darkness enveloped the earth as promised. The two of them sat in the dark room, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly silent.
"I think I know what to do." In the darkness, Lu Mingfei suddenly said, "Brother, how is your relationship with the execution department?"
"It's okay. I have completed many tasks in cooperation with the execution department. Professor Schneider from the execution department is my mentor." Chu Zihang nodded.
"Brother, I want to save a friend. This is related to a very important plan of the execution department. I want to participate."
"But even if I am an 'S' level, I don't have enough credibility and prestige when I first enter school, so I want you, senior brother, to apply to join that plan and then take me with you. In terms of time, you may miss the free day, which is also very difficult.
It may be life-threatening, but I have to go because I..."
"...Because I'm not Ultraman, I'm a friend of monsters!"
Lu Mingfei's eyes were hidden in the darkness, dim and unclear.
He is a friend of monsters, and he is also the biggest monster among the Ultraman crowd, but he cannot carry the flag with "justice" written on it, because this hypocritical and self-interested flag of justice will always have dripping blood behind it.
The blood of my companions is buried on the tombstone!
"good."
Be concise and concise.
Chu Zihang didn't ask what kind of monster Lu Mingfei's friend was, nor how he learned about the executive department's top-secret plan, nor where they were going and how dangerous it would be... His idea was simple, who was
Who is Ultraman? What does it have to do with him?
Lu Mingfei needed his help, so he said yes.
Just as he threatened, he would accompany Lu Mingfei to blow up the wedding of Caesar and Nono.
