Act 10 Tide
1| unbearable weight
" I searched for a few days... I found it yesterday." Xia Mi frowned and pushed the door open. So much dust! No wonder it's so cheap!"
Xia Mi turned his head around again."Maybe it's one of those haunted houses ~ That's why I rented it to you ~"
Chu Zihang automatically ignored Xia Mi and looked around the room. There was only a small window, and the dust fluttered lazily in the light that came in. The wall was a cement wall that was hastily pasted and brushed with a layer of white powder. There was a bed, a table, and a chair inside... If there was only one chair, where would another person sit? On the table?
In short, it was not in harmony with the other simple houses in the village. "You paid too much." Chu Zihang said lightly.
"Yo, young master, you really know how to live.”Xia Mi narrowed his eyes." It's hard to find, okay? Anyway, you can stay here for now. I…don't worry about me. What are your plans for the future?”
"Is this helping me…or supporting me?”Chu Zihang raised his eyes and asked.
"Ah, hey, I don't have the spare money to support Young Master Chu!”Xia Mi shouted.
"No... it's the kind that raises food and eats it after it grows up.”Chu Zihang leaned against the door with his hands in his pockets. The afternoon sun shone brightly from behind, leaving a black silhouette behind Xia Mi.
Xia Mi, who had been making funny faces, suddenly froze. She was silent for a while, then walked over and leaned against the door. She muttered," Stubborn." Then, the two of them watched as the smoke from the village slowly rose and swirled in the sky as it was blown away by the wind.
"Hey, you're not hungry now, are you?" Xia Mi suddenly asked.
"What's wrong?"
"It's not much money…If I only eat one meal a day, I can last a little longer…"
Chu Zihang was speechless.
Why was there such a happy scene when they were clearly fleeing?
And it seemed that he would only smile when he was with her.
How did he feel about her?
The sky darkened silently, and soon, it was completely covered by the night sky. Xia Mi and Chu Zihang found a farmer's house to settle their dinner." From now on, I'll settle my body's needs like this!”Xia Mi said confidently after walking out of the hospitable farmhouse. Chu Zihang nodded silently. He thought that if he went again after freeloading too many times, he might be kicked out.
As expected, Xia Mi had nowhere to stay. Chu Zihang stared at her speechlessly for a while. He borrowed a blanket and laid it on the ground.
Xia Mi stuck out his tongue and burrowed into the blanket on the bed. Soon, he fell asleep. Chu Zihang closed his eyes and quietly listened to Xia Mi's soft and even breathing. The cold air on the concrete floor slowly seeped up. Chu Zihang quietly finished his homework and wrapped himself tightly in the blanket to sleep.
The cold white moonlight shone through the narrow window for a short time before it quickly disappeared. Xia Mi opened his eyes. A faint light flashed in his eyes for a moment, and the room was filled with endless darkness.
"First prize in the National Olympiad, Xia Mi! Everyone clap!" The teacher on the podium announced loudly. The students watched enviously as the school belle hopped to the side of the stage. She lowered her head slightly shyly to receive the certificate and gold medal. Then, she nimbly turned her toes and returned to her class.
"Amazing, amazing!" His classmates praised.
" It's nothing special..." Xia Mi smiled and carefully put the medal and certificate into his school bag. He secretly imagined how happy his parents would be when they saw it.
But…would they really care?
The afterglow of the setting sun had yet to set, and the clouds were burning like fire in the western sky. Xia Mi carried her school bag and ran on the road. She turned around and turned into a dark alley. She easily found the door to her new house that she had moved to half a year ago. She took out the key, inserted it into the keyhole, and slowly turned it.
"I'm back!" Xia Mi jumped into the dark door and almost tripped.
Xia Mi was stunned. White was flying everywhere in his vision. The cotton wadding that had fallen quietly on the floor fluttered in the air due to Xia Mi's entry. The room was filled with the fluttering of sad cherry blossoms. Xia Mi carefully took a step forward and stirred up more fluffy cotton. The cotton stuck to Xia Mi's school uniform.
Xia Mi's heart sank. Even though she was used to it over the years, she still felt a little sad every time she saw the mess at home.
Brother must have torn his blanket and pillow apart this time, and it was so torn. Did the clock at home scare him again? And then? Father, mother, they must have taken him to the sanatorium again.
As expected, even if I bring home the honor that others dream of, no one will look at me?
"That's because Brother has given all the good things to our good Xia Mi, so Xia Mi has to cheer for Brother. That's all Mom would say, right? She had always said that, and her eyes were still on her brother.
But... I still love my brother very much... Xia Mi leaned against the wall and slowly slid down. The fluttering cotton fluttered like feathers and covered her.
"Tsk tsk…why is one of the four great kings living such a complicated life! But it won't be long…Welcome back!”A black shadow outside the door looked at the sleeping Xia Mi and giggled. The sun had completely set, and a heavy black layer came up and covered the entire city.
The night owl flew across the sky and hoarsely cried.
"Little Mi?" A pair of cold hands gently touched Xia Mi's forehead, and Xia Mi woke up in a daze." Mom?”
"Have you eaten? " Your brother took a nap at noon today and didn't see you for the entire afternoon. We'll send him to the nursing home…"”Xia Mi tried hard to open her eyes in a daze, but all she could see was a blurry figure. Xia Mi's cold stomach growled in dissatisfaction. She stood up and stumbled back to her room.
"Then we'll go to sleep first." Her mother called out again and dragged her tired footsteps back to her room.
Xia Mi sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. The room was separated by a sandwich board, and on the other side of the sandwich board was his brother's bedroom. A clear snore was coming from there. Is it quiet now? It was good that it was quiet. A smile appeared on Xia Mi's face.
When his brother was making a scene, he would bang his head against the wall. However, as long as Xia Mi was in front of him, he would stand there in a daze and walk back to his room with his head lowered.
As long as her brother didn't hurt her, it would be fine.
2| Bloody Memories
The cat outside the window suddenly cried out mournfully and then suddenly stopped, as if someone had pressed the stop button.
Xia Mi suddenly woke up. She turned over and bit the pillow to try not to make a sound. Her spasming right hand reached to her shoulder blade with difficulty and grabbed it tightly. Her sharp nails dug deep into her flesh, and blood kept seeping out, but Xia Mi did not notice it. An even greater pain gripped her every nerve.
A year ago, there was a small earthquake in the place where they used to be. Xia Mi accidentally fell into an abandoned mine that had just collapsed. She was only found unconscious two days later. At that time, her body was covered in wounds. Now, most of the other wounds had healed, except for the one on her shoulder. The black-red patterns looked more like some kind of strange totem. Every time Xia Mi saw it, he would shiver.
The wound there had been hurting since the night before, but now... it was like a burning fire, as if something was trying to tear her body apart and escape... Xia Mi arched her back and bit the pillow tightly. The wooden bed creaked under her body.
A strange voice almost exploded in her head, solemn and grand, just like the one she had heard in the days she had been unconscious in the mine. Xia Mi raised his head abruptly. It was still dark outside the window. She hesitated for a moment, then stumbled out of bed, opened the door, and ran into the alley. The cold wind outside made her, who was only wearing her pajamas, tighten her neck. However, the real source of the cold wind was still behind her.
Xia Mi slowly turned his head around. The alley behind him had been completely enveloped by hard icicles. The ice did not even let go of living things. There was a cat that was still running, its mouth opened as if it was screaming, but it had already been frozen into an ice sculpture. The dark eyes reflected a faint light behind the ice.
Xia Mi squatted down and allowed the ice to slowly spread towards her. She couldn't care less about the danger she was facing now. The burning pain on her back made it difficult for her to breathe.
" Crack! Crack!" The ice shimmering with a blue light spread in front of her and stopped cracking. A woman dressed in all kinds of clothes walked out, just like the moment when a flower bloomed and revealed its stamen. Xia Mi's eyes widened in confusion. The woman squatted down and whispered," No matter how long it has been, we will still meet again, Jormungander."”
"Who are you?" Xia Mi raised her head and quickly looked away. The woman's golden pupils made her a little uncomfortable.
"The dead World Tree is our glorious witness. Our flag will be raised once again to rule the world.”The woman stretched out her sharp claws and gently cut her wrist. Black blood immediately gushed out. Xia Mi was so frightened that he couldn't speak. This woman was smiling at him, but her eyes were clearly not looking at him. Also, what was with this level of self-harm! She came out in the middle of the night to pretend to be a female ghost to scare people!
The woman also squatted down and hugged Xia Mi gently. She tore off Xia Mi's pajamas with one hand and placed her bleeding hand on the wound on Xia Mi's back.
"No!" Xia Mi's body tightened. The pain from before was too insignificant for her now. Right now, she felt as if she had just been thrown into a hot spring of sulfur in hell. The burning pain unscrupulously devoured every bit of her flesh and consciousness. Xia Mi half-knelt on the ground and roared.
Inch by inch, scales began to slowly appear under his skin. The scales were covered in blood-red patterns. The King of Ocean and Water quietly watched as his blood seeped into the egg's body through the brand. It rolled and flowed under his skin. The greenish-gray scales that had just appeared suddenly began to shrink, and the patterns began to turn black. The King of Ocean and Water widened his eyes in disbelief. He quickly took out a test tube, broke it, and poured the black liquid that was soaked in sapphire blue on the mark of the egg. The scales stopped shrinking and began to grow slowly again. Ink-blue patterns replaced the blood red color inch by inch.
An even greater pain instantly gripped Xia Mi. The momentary blankness just now made her think that she had already died and gone to heaven.
However, the greater torment at the moment made her believe that she was still in hell.
The Ocean and Water King stood up and quietly looked at the egg that was undergoing a huge change. A cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were flashing with anger.
As expected, my weakness is still useless…Brother?
Jemengard opened his eyes, and every single scale and feather was visible in his vision. She stood up easily and pulled off the clothes that were still hanging on her body. She turned her head and smiled at the King of Ocean and Water." Thank you."”
"What are you thanking me for? Waking you up was the only mission the Dragon Emperor gave me.”The King of Ocean and Water stood where he was, staring at Jemenga's burning golden eyes for a while." What should we do with the relative of this egg?"”
"Kill them." Jemongad turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hurry up and come back. Fenrir is still waiting for you.”The King of Ocean and Water left behind a light sentence and took a few steps back. The ice on his back began to melt layer by layer.
"Is he awake?" Jemengard turned around with a strange look in his eyes." Didn't I tell him not to wake up before I come to his side again? That way, he will be lonely."”
" Don't look at me. He said he couldn't stand being in the dark without you. In that case, he's really a little like the demented brother in this house. Remember to bring him potato chips. He loves them the most." The King of Ocean and Water disappeared into the alley in a flash. The ice had all melted, and the street was filled with water. The cat fell hard. The dead body would not be warmed again.
Jemengard snorted, pulled down the door, threw it into the alley, and walked into the darkness.
"Little Mi, where did you go? We wanted to look for you just now.”The voice of the woman behind the door suddenly became sharp. She was so scared that she fell to the ground, her eyes filled with fear.
Yemengad looked at herself. Scales and sharp claws were normal. She turned to look at the other two people who came out of the room. The older man's face turned pale. He rushed to protect the woman on the ground and asked hoarsely," Who are you?!" What did you do to Xiao Mi?!"
"Who am I?" Yemenga tilted his head and smiled, revealing his dimples." Brother, why did you come out to watch the show instead of sleeping?"”
"Sis, you look so cool!" The boy cheered and rushed forward, hugging Jemongander tightly. Without thinking, Jemongander stabbed his sharp claws into the boy's chest, and the bloody claw came out from his back.
Blood splattered everywhere. Jemongad threw away the body and licked his claws as he looked at the two people on the ground.
"Ah!" The woman screamed at the top of her lungs," I'm going to kill you!”She broke free from the man's restraint and pounced on him, waving her nails.
Compared to my sharp claws? Jemongander found it funny just thinking about it. She easily twisted off the woman's head, moved slightly, and arrived in front of the man on the ground in a flash, holding the bloody head in one hand.
"Dad?" She called out softly, and the man on the ground's blood-red eyes suddenly revealed confusion.
Jemengard smiled. She liked the feeling of humans being teased by him.
Jemongander's scaly tail suddenly struck over and split the man in half.
Jérmungad left the house full of blood-red sins and ran towards the warmth of the night.
A bone-chilling cold came over her without warning. Xia Mi sobbed in fear. The past was too heavy for her to bear.
Warmth suddenly surrounded her and saved her from the brink of collapse. Xia Mi opened his teary eyes. The nightmare was completely dispelled by Chu Zihang's warm chest. Chu Zihang leaned over and gently hugged her, one hand pressing on her head.
" Wow…" Xia Mi started crying without warning. Chu Zihang was shocked and quickly let go of her. He took a few steps back, and his face was slightly red." You were screaming. I thought you had a nightmare…When I had a nightmare in the past, Mom would hug me like this…"
"You're my mother!" Xia Mi let out a fierce cry and turned over to bury her face in the pillow. Tears could not help but flow out.
It was Jermungander and the King of the Sea and Water who ruined her life. She still didn't understand how she had been chosen by Odin, and how she had been so ruthless as to kill her parents and her beloved brother.
She knew that it was the doing of Jormungander's personality, but Xia Mi could never forgive herself, let alone transfer her love for her brother to that ugly dragon. On the day that the sealed memories were awakened, a heart-wrenching pain gnawed at every nerve in her body, and despair flooded her like a tidal wave.
However, she could not die, and she could not die. Her soul still did not belong to her. She had become that person's puppet.
This was the price of survival.
"Are you crying?" He felt a hand gently pat his shoulder. She turned her head and saw a rare expression of concern on Chu Zihang's usually stoic face.
"Yes, I just dreamed that I won five million yuan. Then I realized that it was a dream!”Xia Mi put on a bitter expression. Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment before he smiled faintly." It's good that you're fine.”
"Sleep, sleep, sleep!" Xia Mi rolled his eyes." It's immoral to peek at a beautiful girl!”
" Ah..." Chu Zihang was obviously speechless. He obediently lay down and wrapped himself in a blanket before falling asleep quietly. Xia Mi heaved a sigh of relief, and the mocking expression that he had barely managed to put on his face instantly collapsed.
She knew very well what her mission was.
She wanted to lead the only youth who had ever given her warmth back to the path she had walked!
Under Chu Zihang's thin shirt, there was a faint picture of the World Tree that was almost withered on his shoulder. It stung Xia Mi's eyes again and again.
3| Saber Deity Position
Xia Mi opened his eyes. The sky was already bright. The dust in the air danced in the sunlight. It was a rare good weather in winter.
The room was empty. Xia Mi didn't get up immediately. He closed his eyes and moved his right hand to his eyes before opening them again.
" As expected..." Xia Mi held his forehead helplessly." I knew that idiot wouldn't let me sleep until I woke up naturally if he was here... It's already 12 o'clock!" Ah, I'm so hungry!"
Xia Mi jumped up with a whoosh and put on his shoes. When he saw the bowl of congee on the old wooden table that had already cooled to the point of solidifying, he could not help but be stunned. These days, they had always been freeloading food from their neighbors. Could it be that some family had become impatient from being freeloaded and had sent food to them themselves?
Xia Mi walked to the table and picked up a note from the side of the bowl. The black handwriting was so familiar that he could recognize it even with his eyes closed.
" I had something to do and went out to buy some rice from the neighbors. Breakfast is porridge on the table."
" Did you make it yourself..." Xia Mi was a little absent-minded for a moment, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up." Although it's already cold, but..."
"Idiot! How am I supposed to drink without a spoon?"
Xia Mi cursed softly with a smile. Suddenly, his expression changed." He entered the city?”
At 00:36 in the morning, the first flight of the new day arrived at Jingdu Airport. The stewardess smiled as she watched the last six young people leave. They went through customs and security checks smoothly…because these six people were really normal. A few of them were playing iPad, while the others were chewing bubble gum and listening to rock…Normal people would never think that it was the lunatics from Cassel's executive department who were on a mission.
"There are only six people in our team, two Class A's and four Class B's. It's not easy to subdue Chu Zihang…So, Class A Executive Susie, are you sure you won't get into trouble?”The A-rank team leader walked beside Susie with his hands behind his back and smiled." You asked to join this arrest mission. You won't be soft-hearted, will you?”
"Do you dare to give me the latest weapons from the Equipment Department? It's best if it's more lethal." Susie turned around and returned the same smile.
"How dare he betray the academy? I'll kill him if I see him.”
"Sister Qian, calm down…The academy wants him alive…"
The wooden wind chimes rang a few times, and the sound of the bell was ethereal and clear.
There were short bushes that had been cut into a circle, a path paved with black and white stones, a well made of black stone, a small pool, and a few goldfish swimming freely. Half of the bamboo tube had been cut off, and the sound of water dripping could be heard. It was a typical Japanese courtyard, but it also exuded an indescribable strangeness.
The entire courtyard was wrapped in layers of wooden planks, as if it was in an airtight wooden box. The wooden planks acted as the sky and the surrounding scenery. The paulownia planks were painted with black and red patterns that looked like mottled blood stains.
The house was still a normal house, but it had to be lit at all times. The bright yellow color made the pattern on the wooden board look hazy. Under normal circumstances, these lights would only light up that part of the room. If all of them were lit up, it meant that…there was a guest.
The host was kneeling behind the tea table. She was wearing a dark red Japanese kimono. She looked to be in her forties, but her eyes were still charming. She was using the standard Japanese tea ceremony to make tea for the young man on the other side of the tea table.
The young man with delicate features was only wearing a very ordinary and even a little dirty shirt, but this did not affect his overall temperament. He lowered his eyes slightly and placed his left hand on the scabbard beside him. He looked calm and indifferent, but there was a sharp aura that could not be hidden from time to time.
The host served tea with both hands, and the guest took it.
The guest suddenly said,"It's just tea. There's no need to be so afraid that your hands are trembling, right?"”
The master was stunned, and a smile immediately spread across his face." No way." But…it wasn't just drinking tea, right? It was not easy to find this place. What do you want to find or ask?”The host and guest treated each other with Japanese etiquette, but they all spoke pure Chinese.
"Saber." The customer slowly finished his tea and returned the greeting.
"Who would come to me…not for the saber?”Her master pulled the mechanism under the table, and a door slid open behind her silently.
There was actually a small secret room behind her, displaying all kinds of samurai swords!
Dozens of wooden shelves were placed on the wooden wall, carved into various shapes. Yakshas, lotuses, giant snakes, and the God of Sky Wolf twisted their bodies and looked up at the sabers they worshipped. A knife stood on each wooden frame, and their god's name was carved in Japanese on the wooden board behind the knife. The blade was fixed with a wooden cangue. The wooden cangue was also carved into various divine objects. It looked straight ahead and stared into the eyes of those who paid their respects, as if it wanted to pierce through their souls!
Saber Deity Position!
(Omitting hundreds of words, sorry sorry, sorry, because this is a cut off from the Internet, there is no way to check the information. I can't casually throw out a long description like Nanjing University. I won't describe the specific details. I will sort it out and modify it in the future.)
The woman sat upright in front of the rows of knives, her eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
Many people were like this. When you put in a lot of effort to collect something that you were proud of, and when they were neatly arranged behind you, their eyes would become proud, as if there was some power supporting you to become tall.
"I've long heard that more than half of the recorded samurai swords are with Boss Wen.”Chu Zihang glanced at the knives and said lightly.
"Then which saber do you want? Let me remind you, the knives here can't be exchanged for money. They…have recognized me as their master!" Boss Wen seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Chu Zihang's calm reaction. He turned his hand and slid the mechanism again. The secret door slid back silently. With a slight click, it closed with the wall.
"I don't want a sword. I just want to ask if Boss Wen knows more about Murasame's sword than ordinary people.”Chu Zihang picked up the knife in his hand.
Boss Wen was stunned. He stared at Chu Zihang for a while and hesitated. Chu Zihang silently took off his black contact lenses and looked up at Boss Wen." We're both mixed-blood. If there's anything inconvenient to say, you can say it, right?”
Boss Wen raised his head and saw Chu Zihang's cold golden eyes. He was shocked at first, but his aura immediately soared." You are indeed a non-pure death attendant!”
Chu Zihang frowned slightly. Boss Wen quickly raised his hand, and the lights in the tea room dimmed. As the chanting of the dragon language became louder and louder, absolute darkness silently spread.
Chu Zihang sat quietly and did not move. He knew that with his eyesight, he could see clearly no matter how dark the place was. Absolute darkness could only be explained by one situation. The enemy had released the spirit!
There was not a trace of light in the quiet space. Chu Zihang could not even hear his own heartbeat, but he could feel that his knife was still there. As long as the sense of touch was still there, there was nothing to fear. A real warrior could fight with just the Sabersoul.
Chu Zihang held his breath and tried his best to suppress his boiling blood. He sat cross-legged quietly on the spot." My father is Chu Cheng.”
In just an instant, all kinds of soft sounds silently entered Chu Zihang's ears again. The sound of his own heartbeat, the sound of his blood flowing, and the faint sound of the air flowing in the outside world. Strangely enough, you wouldn't notice these sounds when your hearing was normal, but in a relatively quiet environment, it was these sounds that proved that there was nothing wrong with your hearing nerves.
It was just like when someone was always making noise around you, you just wanted them to disappear quickly. Only when you really couldn't see them again would you miss them.
Chu Zihang raised his head. In the dim light, he could see Boss Wen holding up one of the "" characters. Her face was pale, her eyes were unfocused, and her beautiful lips were trembling slightly.
After a long time, a long sigh was heard." Sigh, why doesn't he look like him at all?" They all have the eyes of a lone wolf…"
Chu Zihang followed Boss Wen to a narrow space. Boss Wen moved a wooden board on the wall facing the door, pulled down the secret gate, and turned around to open the secret door made of wooden boards on the other side.
Behind the secret door was a dark space. The deep darkness stretched as far as the eye could see. Rumbling sounds kept coming from above, getting closer and closer. A wooden cubicle extended from the top of the door and slowly descended. When it reached the ground, it stopped abruptly with a creak.
It was really a cubicle that was a few square meters in size. The surface of the wood was painted with a purplish-red base paint. When the painter was painting, he seemed to have taken the opportunity to mix it with an ethereal pink color and splashed it on the four walls with a brush. It was as beautiful as the scars of cherry blossoms. Unlike the cubicles, there was a gap of at least 20 centimeters between every two walls.
" A machine made of ropes, rollers, and wood. It's something like an elevator. I don't know where you came from, but as far as I know, this is the only way to my Secret Garden.”Boss Wen winked playfully. Through the cracks of the wooden planks, he could see the deep darkness below. It should be more than ten meters deep. What was down there?
"As expected of the ancient Japanese city of Kyoto.”Chu Zihang said.
Wen Lianbi stepped into the elevator, and Chu Zihang followed suit. "My full name is Wen Lianbi. I rarely mention my name to others, so everyone in the industry calls me Boss Wen. I used to work with your dad in Beijing. Your dad told you about me, right? Otherwise, how could you find this place?”
"No, I haven't." Chu Zihang said lightly.
"Ah?" Wen Lianbi was a little disappointed." No matter what, he has been chasing your father for several years. He can't even bear to mention his name…"
Wen Lianbi pressed a cherry blossom shaped bulge on the wall that was hard to notice, and the cubicle began to rise slowly. "My mother mentioned it a few times when she was showing off her conquest history to her sisters before she got divorced.”Chu Zihang said behind her back.
" Really…" Boss Wen sighed and leaned weakly against the wooden board.
"How's your dad recently?"
Chu Zihang suddenly fell silent. Lights flashed past the elevator like meteors. There was a cold silence.
Chu Zihang had used many years to adapt to the disappearance of that man. When he finally put on a decent act, this woman used a sentence to beat him back to his original form.
Chu Zihang suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze cold." Don't you know that you care so much about him? He had been missing for many years. He might even be dead.”Chu Zihang's tone was a little fierce.
"I know."
Chu Zihang was stunned. Wen Lianbi's answer was somewhat unexpected.
Wen Lianbi leaned against the wall and smiled bitterly, her eyes lonely.
"You don't look like him at all. Why do you have the same eyes?" she asked again.”
|The Gulweig family|古尔薇格家族
It was drizzling, wetting the green lawn. There was no sound of rain in the library. It was silent and dark. Almost all the lights were turned off, leaving only a small lamp on the middle ceiling that was quietly flickering with a faint blue light. Professor Schneider stood under the beam with a glass in his left hand. He took off his breathing mask and took a big gulp of 1989 Brandy.
"Cough, cough." Schneider coughed violently. The artificial trachea could not withstand his torture. Every time he drank hard liquor, he was betting his life.
Schneider filled his glass again and raised it." Aren't you going to have one?”
Another figure appeared in the darkness. Manstein took it and smashed the wine glass into pieces.
"I know that you are very sad that something happened to your student. Is there a need to drown your sorrows in alcohol? It wasn't like she was heartbroken. Besides, can you last until the third glass of hard liquor?”Manstein and Schneider stood side by side, staring into the darkness.
" Ha…" Schneider let out a hoarse laugh.
" Yes, Chu Zihang attacked the people in the executive department and was classified as a high-risk bloodline by the board of directors. He has to be dealt with seriously. As his mentor, you should be sad, but..." Manstein tried to persuade his old friend. Schneider raised his hand and pressed a button on his watch. His watch was the library's system terminal and could control any part of the library. Manstein narrowed his eyes, not knowing what Schneider was going to do.
Suddenly, the light shone brightly, and a huge projection screen appeared layer by layer. It was a world map with many more regions than the normal version. It was glowing with a faint blue light, and a small but dazzling red dot was flashing in the Japanese region of the map.
"Aren't you looking for him?" Schneider put on his breathing mask again and turned to look at Manstein. His hoarse and deep voice came from under the mask.
" You..." Manstein was shocked.
"Did you tell anyone about the signal source?”Schneider raised his hand and interrupted Manstein's question.
"No." Manstein shook his head.
Schneider relaxed his shoulders slightly and put his hand back into his suit pocket." That's why I said that your old friend is trustworthy.”
"Do you know what I'm thinking? I don't want to believe that he betrayed the academy. But I know he's a killer. The purity of his bloodline made him feel like he could go berserk at any time, and the board of directors had obtained that fatal evidence from god knows where. Should I hand him over or hide him?”Schneider said slowly.
"With his ability to carry out missions, if he wants to hide, it's unlikely that you can find him. I'm afraid that the only ones in this academy who know where he is are me…and you.”
“So？A struggle for love or justice?" Manstein massaged his temples.
"For the sake of the academy's safety, it is more appropriate to tell the academy his whereabouts. But do you know the look in his eyes when I first saw him? Lonely, confused, and stubborn like a lone wolf. It's exactly the same as when I was young.”Schneider smiled, turned off the screen, and left with the oxygen tank. The sound of the wheels gradually faded away, and Manstein was still standing under the faint blue light.
"Your student is now the academy's public enemy…are you going to stand on the same side as him?”Manstein said softly.
"I also feel that he is quite pitiful."
On the streets of Rome, the little warmth brought by the arrival of spring was washed away by the cold rain. There were not many pedestrians on the streets. Most of them were holding umbrellas and walking in a hurry. There were also young couples enjoying the fun of walking in the rain. Walking in the rain without an umbrella was purely to hide from the rain…
It was already ten o'clock in the evening. The last batch of customers had just left the restaurant. The waiters had also left work one after another, leaving only a young waiter who was still cleaning up the restaurant. He seemed to be staying in the shop and was not ready to leave. He looked at the night sky outside and took out a closed sign to hang on the door. A hand reached out from the rain to block the door.
"Hey, let's welcome the last guest.”A man wearing a thin black sweater and a hat that was pulled up to cover his hair smiled brightly at the waiter.
" But…" The waiter was in a difficult position.
"What are you hesitating for, you bastard? Do you really want me to give you a hug?”The man grabbed the waiter's hand and dragged him into the restaurant. With a bang, he closed the thick wooden door.
The man walked through the shop and pulled down all the shutters. Then, he randomly picked a seat and sat down. He lifted his wet hat, revealing his golden hair and blue eyes. He stared at the menu in the waiter's hand with interest. The waiter bent down to light the candle on the table and stood respectfully at the side." Mr. Caesar, what would you like to order?”
Caesar suddenly laughed and jumped up to grab the young waiter's neck." You love acting, Ace!”
The standard smile on the waiter's face instantly became vivid. He punched Caesar." You didn't come to look for me after so long. I didn't believe it when my subordinate told me that something happened to you. Aren't you fine?”
"If you want to talk to me, you'd better write it down.”Caesar smiled. The screams of the mausoleum filled their eardrums, and the wind roared endlessly.
"Sh * t, escaped?" Asi typed a few words on the laptop and turned it to face Caesar. Caesar nodded.
The large and empty reception room was filled with heavy European classical elements. There were murals hanging on the walls, and a chandelier hung in the middle of the dome, emitting a gentle light. The cold fireplace was dark, like the giant mouth of a monster. Caesar sat on the luxurious sofa, and both of them had changed their clothes. Asi had completely shed the feeling of a waiter, and his entire body was filled with the temperament of a ruler. Asi? Ferro was the son of the Italian mafia boss and the future successor. This was the reception room of the mafia that only belonged to the successor. The successor would receive all kinds of people here and build his own power. Caesar's visit to him was not as simple as chatting.
"Is your family that strict? They want to lock you up just because you messed up a wedding?”Caesar laughed disdainfully. Of course, he knew why. Bloodline purification was a demon's skill. His performance at the wedding indicated that he was close to the critical blood limit and could become a death servant at any time. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had become the enemy of most hybrids. His family was also protecting him.
But how was he going to complete his plan if he kept being locked up? How could he avenge his mother?
Asi was the prince of the Italian mafia. Caesar coming to him first after escaping meant that the grand revenge plan was approaching its climax.
He swore that he would make those people pay the price!
The only problem was that the mafia did not belong to the dragon world.
In fact, when the mafia first sprouted, the leader was the Gattuso family. In the middle of the 17th century, the family leader decided to split into two families, Ferro and Gattuso. The Gattuso Family would build a business empire, while the Ferro Family would be responsible for building the Dark Kingdom. This way, the two families could help each other and reduce their burdens.
However, there was a problem with the bloodline. The genes of the dragon race were always weaker and weaker. If the ratio was less than 0.8%, they could basically be treated as normal people. However, the dragon bloodline would suddenly increase in an unknown generation, and the ratio would suddenly increase. Only then would the bloodline be passed down. It was as if they had been cursed. From the moment they separated, the dragon bloodline of the Ferro family members became lower and lower until it dropped to 3% or even lower. At that time, the heir of the Gattuso family made a decision to abide by the common rules of the mixed-bloods and never reveal the secrets of the dragon race to ordinary people! Even though the Ferro family was the Gattuso family's external family, their low dragon bloodline prevented them from touching the real world.
1893. In just half a month, most of the leaders of the Ferro family went insane because the heir of the Gattuso family released his spirit at a high-level meeting. The rest of the people received a blood-red warning, never mentioning the dragon race again.
Although the Ferro family was the real underworld, the Gattuso family was a true underworld aristocrat. They would not keep useless people. Even if they were outsiders, they would use their own methods to get rid of them!
"Caesar." Ace knocked on the table, trying to get Caesar's attention. "I'm almost done with my preparations. What about you?”
"I can only bring half of the people from the family.”Caesar smiled." Is it enough?"
After traveling all over the world for so many years, how could it be just for fun? Every time, he would meet some people. Uncle never knew about it. He had built a network of power within the family, and even if his uncle knew about it, he would let it go and treat it as a child's game. Now, this child was going to overturn the entire world of the Gattuso family.
Indeed, he could only bring out half of the people who were loyal to him. Not loyal to Caesar? Gattuso was just Caesar, regardless of whether his surname was Gattuso or Gullwig.
This was his ultimate goal. Revive the Guelwig family and take everything from the Gattuso family! This would be the best gift Caesar could give his mother!
Caesar closed his eyes. There seemed to be light shining through the darkness. His mother sat on the grassy hillside, smiling and reaching out to the pigeons in the sky. The pigeons flew up and down like snow.
How did his mother die? Why can't Uncle and Father give me an answer?
He could only follow the answer he had found and take revenge without hesitation!
"You promised me that you would show me the real world, Caesar. I want to possess that power." Asgard sat upright and stared at Caesar.
Caesar carefully read the sentence and a cold smile hung on his lips. "Oh? What kind of power?"
"My mother was killed by that power, that…god-like power!”said Ace quietly.
"Is this it?"
Caesar casually took off his cosmetic contact lenses, and the molten golden light shone brightly. Endless illusions instantly poured into the mind of the young man, who could not dodge in time. The young man's mind instantly went blank, and there seemed to be snake-like lines twisting crazily in the darkness...
The pressure on him was greatly reduced. The young man held onto the armrest of the sofa and panted, sweating profusely. Caesar was leaning on the sofa with his hands on his back. He tilted his head and his eyes were filled with excitement.
5| casting a net
Anger pushed open the door of the clock tower and walked into the place that was as messy as a dog's kennel. He sat on the old sofa that was filled with clothes and lit the cigar in his mouth. He glanced sideways at the old cowboy who was watching the hula dance video and slowly blew out a smoke ring.
The night watcher, who was sitting on another sofa, chuckled when he saw Angers 'expression. He handed Angers a large glass of beer, which Angers caught and patted the night watcher's shoulder.
A true friend was like this. He didn't need to express himself in words. He already knew whether you were happy or sad.
"Come, if there's anything unhappy, say it to make me happy.”The night watcher nestled back into his bed and looked at Angor lazily.
"The board of directors suspended me."
The night watcher snorted." Can an official document control you? Besides, do they have any reason to take your folding knife and challenge the dojo for an explanation!”
"The headache is that they have also shut down all my authority in Norma. Now, Norma and Cassel don't obey any of my orders.”Angre facepalmed.
"Oh, this move is quite ruthless." The night watcher was deep in thought." I wonder how many black cards they used to open the cheat? Do you think we have a chance of winning two against one?”
"It's a white card." Anger said slowly.
The night watchman was silent for a while. He turned off the video recorder, opened his laptop, and double-clicked on the document that Angor had sent him last time.
"If Fingal's student card has one level of authority, C-level students have 1000, A-level students have 10000, and S-level students have 100000. Black cards have the highest authority, and 1000000-no, white cards have the highest authority." Angor held a cigar between his fingers and took a big gulp of beer."White cards have unlimited authority!”
" Norma is an intelligent system. It's obvious that a black card doesn't have enough authority to destroy the world. However, if you have a white card, no matter how high the authority requirement is, the white card will always surpass it. Didn't that mean that Norma had been in the school's management since 2001?”
"It's as infuriating as finding a pinhole camera in your own bathroom.”the night watcher commented.
"I only discovered the existence of the white card when I was looking for a record in Normali a few days before I was suspended. Having the white card meant that he had full control over Norma. If a super system like Norma, which could paralyze the entire world's network, could be completely controlled by one person, who knew what would happen.”
"And worst of all, when your students needed you, the board sent a lot of people from the executive department to hunt them down all over the world. An A-rank arrest warrant has been issued all over the world, listing 40 to 50 crimes…"
"That old goat's style. He was always cruel to those who obstructed his plans.”" That's right." Ange sneered." In other words, the one with the white card should be the Gattuso family, right? Speaking of which, there was actually a bounty on Chu Zihang's head on the Hunter Network. The photo he brought with him had not been photoshopped. It was the Golden Dragon Eyes. [Reason for arrest: Dragon race.] There was also a long introduction to the mixed-blood below. The hunter who posted the ID had gone missing while on a mission in the Sahara.”
"I remember that the Hunter Network is open to the whole world, right? This is a little fun." The night watcher took a deep breath, his silver-gray eyes flashing.
Lu Mingfei was eating on the table beside the bed and typing on the keyboard to finish his thesis. Fingel hurriedly climbed down from the upper bunk and stepped on Lu Mingfei's back.
"Brother, even if you ride a snail, you have to watch the road!”Lu Mingfei cried out in pain. Fingel moved his face closer to Lu Mingfei and made a " shh " gesture with a lewd smile. He then pulled out a dirty bag from under the bed and rummaged through it for clothes. Lu Mingfei felt a chill down his spine as he watched. His senior brother turned around and smiled mysteriously." The girl from Los Angeles said she wants to see me on social media. She wants to skip a few days of class. Take care, junior brother."
"Just because you bought a 30-yuan shirt at my house? Or the T-shirt that she had worn for years?”Lu Mingfei looked at his senior brother, who was in love with him, and couldn't help but despise the girl's taste.
"Tsk, back then, your senior brother was a flower on campus! "Then you must have a few clothes to keep up appearances…" Fingal slipped out on tiptoe. Lu Mingfei watched his senior brother's wretched back and suddenly sighed.
Without that defeated dog accompanying him, he would think of Nono again.
Lu Mingfei couldn't be bothered to turn off his computer. He turned over and lay on the bed, slowly closing his eyes. The darkness that was getting clearer and clearer drove away all his thoughts, leaving only that figure. She was as beautiful as a rose, but her body was full of thorns. She could not allow anyone to approach her. Those who tried to pluck her could only be covered in wounds again and again.
Caesar's cheat didn't count…
The arrest warrant was sent to the judicial authorities all over the world. The director of the FBI looked at the photo that might be more suitable for the three-star student certificate and was stunned." Asian? Wearing cosmetic contact lenses? Dragon race? What dragon clan?"
At the same time, two Weibo posts were forwarded by hundreds of thousands of people. One was a simplified version of the arrest warrant, and the other was an introduction to the mixed-blood race. Weibo's troll army was powerful…Everyone who was on Weibo stared at their computers in a daze. Some people treated it as a rumor and closed it casually, while others seriously began to read the introduction of the mixed-blood.
Additional Weibo posts appeared one after another. The secrets of the dragon race began to be exposed to the real world bit by bit.
Francis? Enz sat on the sofa at home and looked at the computer screen with satisfaction.
"Use all channels to spread this arrest warrant, newspapers, television, blog…I don't mind the 3D street scribbles.”Francis called his secretary.
That night, when the woman told him about this method, he firmly refused. He knew very well that the secret of the mixed-blood could not be revealed.
"You are the biggest intelligence family among the mixed-bloods. Do you know the system of Kassel Academy?”she said softly.
"Intelligent system Norma? Enz. A very powerful system." Francis frowned, not knowing what she was going to say.
"Do you know why Norma's drive is so powerful? " It's not just the designer and components that are amazing." The woman sighed softly." Do you remember when Norma entered Kassel Academy?”
"2001." Francis was a little annoyed. He answered her questions honestly because she told him that she had a daughter.
"Then what year did your daughter get into an accident?”
"…December 8th, 2001.”Francis trembled. After so many years, he couldn't forget that date. He, who had always treated his daughter as a treasure, couldn't accept the fact a few days after receiving Cassel's notice.
He remembered very clearly that many times when he was working in the chairman's office at the headquarters, he would hear a gentle knock on the door. When he opened the door, his daughter, who was only so tall, rushed in and hugged him, saying," Daddy, I miss you." Behind her was a servant, who looked helpless." Miss must see you…"
His daughter had just grown up, and he was even worried about her marriage. However, he could not wait until the day he handed his daughter's hand over to another man.
"Back to Norma, I can tell you that Norma has a high-level core supporting its operation.”The woman paused." And that inner core is the spirit of a person with A-class bloodline.”
Francis widened his eyes.
The woman told him the first half of her plan.
"First, we'll force the board of directors to replace Anger…With Anger around, you can't save her. I'll inform you of the next step.”
" But..." Francis was still a little hesitant. Suddenly, there was silence. The woman had left, as if she had disappeared into the air.
" I'll try…" Francis clenched his fist on the table, and his eyes were filled with darkness.
