Chu Zihang was panting while holding the door, his soaked shirt clinging tightly to his body, and water droplets falling from the tips of his hair.
"Damn it, senior brother, why don't you just go out and buy a gift? Why are you so tired?" Lu Mingfei was shocked and hurried forward to help Chu Zihang.
"Do you know a person named McCarron?" Chu Zihang took Lu Mingfei's hand and stared at him directly.
"McAllen... I have never heard of this name in my memory." Lu Mingfei was a little confused, "Is it really okay? Senior brother, your whole body is boiling hot now, as if you have a fever."
"..." Chu Zihang gasped and was silent for a while, "Sorry."
He brushed aside the bangs that stuck to his forehead, grabbed the champagne and took a sip of ice wine, forcing himself to calm down, "I'm a little lost."
"It's okay." Lu Mingfei helped him sit down at an empty table in the corner, "Did something happen in the afternoon?"
"When I was picking out gifts for Xia Mi in the afternoon, I met a man who called himself Mr. McCarron. He was wearing a strange beak mask, so I didn't know what he looked like."
"McAllen is probably his pseudonym..." Lu Mingfei asked, "Does it have any other characteristics?"
"He knows about Xia Mi and me, and also knows about Odin..." Chu Zihang said, "And the most important thing is, I feel a very familiar feeling in him, like..."
"It's like that rainy night many years ago, right?" Lu Mingfei interrupted.
Chu Zihang was stunned.
"Yes, just like that rainy night many years ago." He replied.
Lu Mingfei sighed, "You just passed by Odin, senior brother."
"...I know." Chu Zihang paused, "Who else could it be besides him?"
Instead, it was Lu Mingfei's turn who didn't know how to continue the topic. Chu Zihang was not as indignant as he thought.
He just lowered his head, and the water droplets dripping from the tips of his hair slowly flowed from the hard-lined face.
"I have been dreaming of this day for so many years." Chu Zihang raised his eyes and looked at the dancing crowd around him, and whispered, "But when he actually stood in front of me, I was so cowardly that I couldn't even
I don’t even dare to pull out the knife.”
The sounds of women screaming with excitement, the sound of gun salutes, the sound of bartenders shaking ice cubes, and the sound of high heels hitting the ground.
Strong drumbeats came in waves, and the guests were still talking excitedly about the passionate samba dance brought by Basara King.
The world was nice and joyful, but it was a little far away from him. He slowly drank the slightly bitter champagne on the table and recalled the Christmas he spent at the Catholic Church in Xidan, BJ.
Chu Zihang originally didn't believe in God, but not only did he join the choir, he also gave a bunch of embarrassing speeches on stage.
Without even thinking about it, Xia Mi forced him to go there, and Xia Mi forced him to memorize the speech after he finished writing it.
The girl said that she wanted to leave some memories on this special day. When she picks them up many, many years later, there will be an emotion called nostalgia flowing out of her heart, which will be very beautiful.
He said okay, and by the way, he roped in Lu Mingfei and Fingel.
Of course, these two guys wouldn't think of going to church on their own, but since it was Chu Zihang's invitation, and Fingel heard that Holy Communion is free, and there are many beautiful religious girls who will attend this event, so the three of them
They rushed to the church with great courage, sat together under the cross of Jesus Christ and bathed in the glory of God.
While sitting at the table eating Holy Communion, Chu Zihang suddenly thought, how long had it been since he had experienced such a festival in a serious way?
It seems that everything started from that night. Although it has been a long time since then, he has never celebrated Christmas or other similar holidays since then.
It’s not that I didn’t do it on purpose, I just missed opportunities again and again because I was too busy.
I studied hard in high school, and in Kassel I traveled all over the world to slay dragons.
Before he met Xia Mi, he would occasionally think that he might live like this for many years to come, with only his suitcase and knife bag accompanying him.
Is this the life he wants? Chu Zihang is not sure.
Why did you want to find Kassel Academy in the first place? It was to avenge your father, thinking that as long as you can enter the mixed-race society, you can always find Odin, no matter he is a god or something else.
But Odin disappeared since then, and there are no more clues about him, until today...
Chu Zihang took another sip of champagne, thinking that it would be great if Xia Mi was by his side at this time, so that he could express his inner thoughts at least.
There are some things that can only be said to her, and even Lu Mingfei cannot take her place.
Obviously they had only been apart for a few days, but he already missed that girl so much that he couldn't sleep all night long.
Yes, that was a girl who had been with him for many years. She was both his childhood sweetheart and someone who fell from the sky.
Even though he was sitting in a booth in Takamagahara, Xia Mi might be separated from him by an entire Shinjuku area, but Chu Zihang always felt that she would suddenly walk in and walk into this Cowherd shop, attracting all the people, whether they were women or men.
He looked at you, then sat down next to you, held the chair with both hands, stared into your eyes, and said, do you want to buy me a drink?
With that kind of ghostly look, the unpredictable look, the look between soft and cute, with a faint sarcasm.
There is only one person in the world who would look at him like that.
Of course, Chu Zihang replied.
Mr. McCarron asked, why did Jormungandr choose you? She is a great being who can return from death many times. She is part of the rules of the world. Is there really an empty heart that needs to be filled with feelings?
Chu Zihang didn't know and didn't want to know, but suddenly remembered a dream he had had.
In the dream, he and the girl were not together, but fighting each other. In the end, he stabbed a folding knife into her heart.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then one afternoon, he took the silver key left by the girl, went to an old community, opened the dusty door, and the sunset filled the room.
The air is full of dust, and the girl's breath still lingers in the house...
It's very sad, so sad that it makes people speechless.
No matter what, it's okay, as long as this girl is still in his life... he is willing to die even if she does.
The only thing Chu Zihang knows in his life so far is that if he had never met Xia Mi, he would probably spend his whole life like this:
He graduated in an orderly manner, became an official commissioner of the Executive Department, and then joined a certain branch - it is said that the Korean branch is very much looking forward to his joining, because the Korean branch also has an acting career and has appeared in several talent groups.
The branch feels that he has the potential to move around the world and become a special commissioner to deal with emergencies.
What next? Then he will be promoted to senior commissioner, and then to deputy minister or minister. The organization of the college is no different from that of a government department, and he will become more and more like a civil servant, like a cog in a huge machine.
, as time goes by, the gears gradually wear out until new gears are replaced.
The only difference is that the gears in the execution part wear out very quickly, and you may be suddenly broken before you are worn out.
It is also possible that he will grow old day by day, safe and sound, and then he will never be able to find Odin or meet another girl like Xia Mi in this life...
After I retire, I sit on a chair one day and watch the sunset slowly sinking into the horizon. I suddenly think back to my life. Will I feel so lonely that I feel like I am about to die?
Chu Zihang couldn't imagine how to convince himself to accept that kind of life. Once the hand that was used to holding a knife was empty, he wouldn't know what to hold on to.
To put it this way, the few days we spent in Japan were embarrassing but also quite happy. I still remember one rainy night when they were taking a bath in the Takamagahara bathhouse and opening gifts from guests. Lu Mingfei complained about Caesar’s cigars.
It’s too annoying. Caesar said to Chu Zihang, why don’t you take the knife with you when taking a bath? Chu Zihang rested his head on the scabbard and listened to the sound of rain outside the window...
It just feels like everything is still beautiful, everything will have a different ending, the next life seems to be long, and there are many, many opportunities to seek revenge from Odin.
He is with his best friends, fighting side by side to defeat the enemy behind the scenes.
But why does the past catch up with me at this time? It happens to be this time.
The good times in life are always so short. Just when you think the future will be better, you have already passed the high point of your destiny like a roller coaster.
He thought he had hidden his emotions well enough, just like an adult, sealing up memories one by one, and most of them would never be opened again.
Because there is no use opening it again. Memories are memories after all. Only in the occasional tossing and turning at night can such subtle sadness be revealed.
It turns out that after all these years, I am still the child standing on the viaduct. I am still powerless when facing God, and I don’t even dare to pull out a knife.
Chu Zihang smiled silently.
Lu Mingfei didn't say anything, and the two of them drank champagne one glass after another.
"Actually, that's not the case, senior brother." He suddenly said, "You are not weak, you just... have concerns."
…
…
Xia Mi sat on the big heart-shaped bed in the love hotel, watching various TV programs boringly.
Chen Motong took Eriyi out to buy five-eye fried rice, and now she was the only one left in the room.
"What is that idiot doing..." She murmured to herself, reached out and turned off the TV screen, and then covered her head in the quilt.
On the sofa, a man wearing a bird's beak mask sat in the light coming from the window. There was a gentle smile in his voice, "Why did you fall in love with him?"
"I want you to take care of it." Xia Mi muttered.
"Speaking of which, I helped Mr. Chu pick out a gift today, and it goes well with your dress." Mr. McCarron pointed to a bohemian-style summer dress hanging on the wall, with an exaggerated color combination.
It doesn't look high-end, and even a little frivolous.
"What are you here for? Do you want to kill me?"
"Stop it, my dear sister." Mr. McCarron shrugged, "You should know that I am not trying to kill you. After all, we have a common enemy, so why kill each other?"
"Don't call me so affectionate." Xia Mi sneered, "I don't remember when I became your sister, you are just a dirty ghoul."
"But from the perspective of title, you are indeed my sister." Mr. McCarron said without anger, his voice was leisurely, "I could have destroyed your cocoon many years ago, but I am patient
Waiting for your awakening."
"Even now I have an absolute advantage. Now you are just a child who has lost the authority of the king of the earth and the mountain. You are not the giant python that can overturn the world."
"Our goals are the same, so why can't we be companions? You are my smart and ambitious sister, and one of my father's most perfect creations. That blind Mr. Chu is not worthy of understanding you. Who really understands you?"
I am your brother!"
"But I have defeated my destiny." Xia Mi curled his lips, "Don't call me my sister. Even if Li Yuanhao is standing in front of me now, he doesn't have the courage to call you. You are the one who stole his title."
Does the clown have the nerve to scream so enthusiastically?"
"Do you think you have defeated your destiny?" Mr. McCarron laughed dumbly, "No, no, it seems you haven't understood it yet. No one can defeat the real destiny. It is standing there, waiting for everyone.
People’s arrival will neither be earlier nor delayed.”
"We can cut off the old grudges and start a new era together!"
"Oh?" Xia Mi asked with interest, "Can you tell me what to do?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Tokyo is now turbulent, and those who follow me have obtained the blood of the White King... In other words, when his plan succeeds, we can use
He came to awaken the real White King... You should understand that the White King's power is second only to Nidhogg."
"We can devour it, and we can share its crown together. You will become the worldly python Jormungandr again. Your nobility is as noble as mine, and we will be immortal!"
"Of course, Jormungandr will not believe in such vain things as sincerity. I know what proof you want. I will give you my blood. The king's covenant is always written in blood, just like it was back then."
Mr. McCarron wiped his hand across the spearhead he carried and raised his bloody palm in the air.
"As cunning as you are, will you form a blood alliance with others?" Xia Mi's eyes flashed with a thrilling beauty, "I still remember that war, you hid far away at the back until the end.
"
"This time is different. I have been preparing to overturn this chessboard for too long." Mr. McCarron still held up his bleeding palm, "How? The contract made with the blood pact cannot be reneged on no matter what.
, you should know this."
Xia Mi stopped talking and lay quietly on the bed, as if thinking about something.
After a moment, she raised her head, showed a sweet smile, and then stretched out her hand.
Mr. McCarron also smiled with satisfaction.
Seeing Xia Mi's pure and beautiful hand getting closer and closer to him...
Then the other four fingers slowly retracted, leaving only the middle one.
