Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Seven: True and False
Is there any relationship between Japanese anime and dragons?
Lu Mingfei was dubious about Ender's conclusion, but Ender was not surprised either. This theory was considered deviant in Cassel College, but Ender knew why.
Because an author named Jiangnan "borrowed" Japanese anime settings.
But he couldn't say this casually, so he turned off the Gundam's transformation and said to Lu Mingfei: "I know you don't believe it, but we might as well keep reading."
'Lu Mingfei then took his eyes away from the transformable Gundam model, and reluctantly followed Ander to continue moving forward.
The sculpture named Lorelei stood in front of a small door. When he saw the two coming, he opened the door with both hands.
"This is my personal weapons collection room. It contains all the alchemy weapons I have collected over the years." Ander introduced.
Showing off one's collection is always something that makes Long happy, especially when he sees the other party looking like Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden, Ande feels very comfortable.
In the weapons arsenal, all kinds of weapons are placed haphazardly together. The most common ones are samurai swords piled up like garbage. Some more sophisticated-looking weapons are fixed on the wall. The most eye-catching one is an extremely terrifying sword.
Sickle in both hands.
The connection between the handle of the sickle and the blade is a bright white skull. The mandible is long and bites the blade. The blade of the sickle shines with cold light, just like the death sickle that appears in games or anime.
"I'll show you something interesting." Ender walked over and took down the scythe from the wall. The handle of the scythe was extremely long, and it was almost as tall as Ender when he took it off.
Ender gently touched the skull on the top of the knife handle, and with a low roar, two blue flames emerged from the skull's eye sockets.
"This is a living weapon, which injects human soul into the weapon in exchange for more varied functions." Ander introduced: "Over the long years, most living creatures have lost their ability to communicate and have become mere human beings.
A machine that can execute orders,
But fortunately, there are still some living beings who retain a certain degree of consciousness and can communicate after being transformed, such as Lorelei, and..."
Before Ander finished speaking, a childish and lazy voice sounded, sounding like a little girl who hadn't woken up: "...Uncle Ander, what are you doing here again?"
"I'm here to find you." Ander said softly: "Come on, Xiao Lian, show your brother over there your unique skills."
"No, I'm so tired..." The living creature in the sickle seemed to be resisting: "It's very troublesome."
"Just for a moment, can I ask my sister to come over and play with you later?" Ander and the living spirit discussed it and finally convinced the living spirit in the scythe.
"Okay, just once." The skull on the sickle flashed, and the next second, the mirror-like blade broke off one after another, and black iron chains connected the broken blades, transforming the sickle into a whip structure.
The iron chain and the blade were wandering in the weapons arsenal in a way that violated the rules of physics, gently hovering around Lu Mingfei's neck, like a foraging python.
"Brother, what are you doing? Xiao Lian is awesome, isn't he?" A childish voice came from Lu Mingfei's ears, and the cold touch of the blade made Lu Mingfei shiver.
But today, he had already experienced a lot, so he calmed down and replied with a smile on his face: "Awesome, this is the first time I have seen a weapon that can transform."
"Humph, that's natural." The child's voice became brisk, the chain retracted, and the blade returned to its original position, reorganizing into a mirror-smooth blade.
"Uncle Ander, I'm going to bed and will ignore you." After saying this, the flames in the skull's eyes disappeared.
Ander hung the scythe back on the wall, turned to Lu Mingfei and asked, "Do you think the deformation of the scythe just now is familiar?"
"It seems so." Lu Mingfei said hesitantly: "There seem to be more anime in island countries."
"This design with a chain connected to the blade is called the Snake Belly Sword, also known as the Gallian Sword. Do you know where it first appeared?"
"Where?" Lu Mingfei didn't know why.
"This special weapon is purely a human illusion. It first appeared in a robot cartoon "Mecha World Galion", so this thing is called the Galion Sword."
"But this exists in reality." Lu Mingfei pointed to the sickle on the wall: "Although this is not a sword, the structure is the same."
"That's right." Ender nodded: "The weapon imagined by humans actually appeared in the tombs of dragons thousands of years ago. Those pseudo-dragons used incredible alchemy skills to create this incredible weapon.
Although this thing is not easy to use at all, the weird structure makes it only cut off your vagina."
"The little sickle is very useful!" The sickle on the wall moved: "Very useful..." Then it returned to calm.
"Xiao Si is the living spirit in this weapon. You must have heard it. Her soul is still very young. She is just a ten-year-old girl, so she spends most of her time sleeping."
Lu Mingfei looked at the scythe on the wall with some pity, and then brought his thoughts back to what Ander said: "Does this mean that the island country's animation actually refers to the dragon clan's weapons?"
"It's not just weapons." Ender took out a photo from his arms: "There are more things."
Lu Mingfei's chest tightened when he looked at the boy who was bound by a cross and with a spear stuck in his chest in the photo. That was Lu Mingze, or No. Zero, who frequently appeared in his dreams.
"Do you think he looks familiar?" Ender asked, "It seems like you've seen him somewhere before."
Lu Mingfei's mind has never worked as fast as it does now. Facing the fields in which he has experience, he quickly found the answer:
"It's EVA. I've seen similar scenes in Neon Genesis Evangelion!" Lu Mingfei pinched out a mark on the photo: "It's Lilith!"
"By the way," Ander's deep voice echoed in the silent treasure house: "This is a photo of him when he was sealed. It was 1992, and there was not even a shadow of EVA."
Lilith is a monster named Apostle in the EVA setting. She is the origin of mankind in the story. She was sealed on a huge cross, and the Longinus gun penetrated her chest, and her soul was extracted and put into a female body.
In the main body of Rei Ayanami.
The image that appears in the anime is exactly the same as the sealed Zero.
"So," Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched: "Uncle De, you wouldn't tell me that there are still Dead Sea documents, right?"
The Dead Sea Script is an ancient book in EVA, which records the time of the end of the world.
"Congratulations, everyone can answer now." Ander took back the photo in Lu Mingfei's hand: "After discovering that EVA may be related to the Dragon Clan, the Secret Party conducted an excavation in Greenland. Although the results were very bad, we dug up
According to the record in the Ice Sea Fragment, the Black King will wake up in 2012 and destroy the world."
"Now you understand why the Japanese cartoons are related to the dragon clan." Ander squinted his eyes with a smile on his face.
