In this room, which is a mixture of Chinese and Western styles, the incense that Lu Mingfei just inserted is burning, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
The two sat opposite each other. Lu Mingfei had not yet recovered from the story just now, but Ander did not give him time to digest it, and directly led the topic to what Lu Mingfei was most concerned about.
"I had some problems back then. Your father lacked guidance after losing his parents, so he embarked on...well, not a good path."
Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat and he clutched his trouser legs: "Something happened to him... Has he turned into that kind of monster?"
Ander signaled Lu Mingfei to calm down, and then continued:
"You're saying that Lulin City has turned into a deadpool. It's not to that extent. He's still alive and well now.
In fact, Mingfei, your father and mother are members of the doomsday sect."
"What sect?" Lu Mingfei's worries arose again, as the doomsday sect didn't sound like a good thing.
"The Doomsday Faction, a branch of the Secret Party, is a group of capitulationists who believe that mankind will usher in the end."
"Sounds like a cult." Lu Mingfei thought of the doomsdayers he saw holding signs in New York: "How could they join such a thing?"
“In fact, the doomsday theory has been updated many times and is very different from traditional doomsday theory.
At first, they thought that the four great monarchs of the dragon clan were just a few particularly powerful monsters. They would wake up one day, and then the world would be in their wrath...boom!"
"Four monarchs?" Lu Mingfei thought for a while: "The instructor told us that they are the descendants of the Black King. They woke up many times in history, and then were pushed back by the secret party."
Military training is not just about skills training, the instructors will also teach some basic dragon knowledge to enlighten these rookies.
Ender nodded: "Yes, so this theory quickly went bankrupt. Based on the destructive power they showed, no one would believe that the four monarchs could destroy the world as long as they studied history.
So the doomsday faction turned their target to the Black King Nighold, claiming that one day the Black King would wake up, destroy the world, and rule mankind again."
Lu Mingfei thought of the illusion he saw on the train. The huge dragon body that died on the snowy mountain was indeed very intimidating, but this theory had a fatal flaw.
"I remember that the Black King was betrayed by his own heir and was killed?" Lu Mingfei scratched his face, feeling a little sad for the doomsday sect.
"That's why the doomsday faction's second theory failed again. More people in the secret party believe that although the Black King is powerful, he is not invincible.
So it is logical that the doomsday sects put forward a third set of theories: the dark side monarch theory.
They claim that some dragon kings have awakened. They hide among the crowd, quietly hoard supplies in their lairs, and thrive in the financial field by relying on their cleverness and talent.
When the time comes, they will crash the stock market and further promote world war,
When the people of the world are in dire straits, they can take out the supplies they have hoarded and become the king of the world again."
Hearing this extremely ridiculous theory, Lu Mingfei showed a surprised expression: "Some people believe this, are all the doomsday sects idiots?"
Ander spread his hands and said helplessly: "This is the mainstream theory of doomsday sects now. Your parents were fooled into it by this theory."
"Ah..." Lu Mingfei was speechless and choked up: "But why, my father is obviously very sensible, and my mother, such a good person, how could I believe this kind of thing?"
Lu Mingfei, who had experienced many years of Chinese education, felt that his parents had believed in evil. Apart from religion, Lu Mingfei could not think of any other reason to explain this kind of thing.
“Actually, this theory only began to rise in the 1990s. Due to the disintegration of the Red Bear, many Maozi intellectuals became end of history theorists.
Most of them feel that capitalism is invincible, and combined with the Dragon Clan incident, they come to a conclusion:
The Dragon King capitalists can control the world."
Ender scratched his cheek. He thought this theory was nonsense. Why couldn't the Dragon King be a bounty hunter who dropped out of high school or a beautiful high school girl who relied on scholarships to survive?
"In order to escape the end of the world, they decided to build a shelter in the North Pole. Your parents have been there over the years, building houses, raising chickens and so on."
"So they put me in my uncle's house all these years." Lu Mingfei's back hunched over: "Just to build a house in the North Pole for an inexplicable end of the world?"
"Hmm, yes, your mother also raised a lot of guinea fowl as the main source of protein after the apocalypse.
In fact, I suggested that they raise earthworms, but your mother can't accept the earthworm meat paste."
"Raising chickens..." Lu Mingfei lowered his head, a little disappointed. He always thought that his parents were great heroes and great adventurers who took risks in various places, but sometimes, the reality was always so cruel.
"Don't be so disappointed, the Secret Party is also doing similar things. One of them is under the school. There are all kinds of animals and plants, and there is also an aquarium." Ander consoled him.
"Of course, don't tell others. In fact, the underground zoo and aquarium are the underground safari zoo that Angers built for his own personal use in the name of building a shelter."
Lu Mingfei laughed, of course he knew who Angers was, the principal of Kassel College, an old man in a suit and tie who occasionally appeared during military training, as elegant as a gentleman vampire.
"So the secret party also believes that there will be an end of the world?" he asked. Both sides were building shelters, and there seemed to be no difference.
"The Secret Party believes that the Dragon Kings will collectively wake up in the next few years, and then the Black King will also wake up." Ander said seriously.
"That doesn't sound any different than doomsday theories."
"No," Ender shook his head: "The secret party will find a way to keep those dragon kings sleeping. The shelter is just a kind of insurance."
"And now," Ander pointed to Lu Mingfei: "Mingfei, you have to make a choice, whether to go to the shelter built by your parents, or stay here to fight with the secret party."
Lu Mingfei asked hesitantly: "Didn't you say that the end of the world is fake?"
"I just said that humans have a chance to defeat the Dragon King, but the consequences of the battle are unpredictable. According to the executive plan, the worst possibility is that sea levels rise rapidly and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau becomes the only land.
If you stay with your parents, you won't have to face future wars. This is one of the reasons why they joined the doomsday sect. They want you to survive, Mingfei."
Love is such a strange thing, it can make people go to the North Pole to build a house and raise chickens, Lu Mingfei thought.
"It's not shameful to run away, Ming Fei." Ander said, "Especially when faced with something like this."
