Chapter 293 It must be Odin. Beat Lao Chu to his knees and go back with him to be his substitute!
Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang who was standing in front of the workbench and blasting cold air like crazy, and couldn't help but grab Huili's little hand and squeeze it.
To be honest, when he thought of Lao Chu sitting alone by the sink developing photos, pinning them one by one to the wooden board with thumbtacks, then sitting at the workbench smoking a cigar, drinking whiskey, playing some jazz, and waiting for the atmosphere to be right before writing notes with a red pen, it was as if he was having a conversation with the woman in the photo.
This feels really, so fucking abstract!
When I think of the man who always hid in the dark and took pictures of Chu Zihang and Aunt Xiaoyan when they went out, behind the pillars in the amusement park, behind the shelves in the mall, behind the bushes in the restaurant, and behind the reeds by the river...
Uncle, if you are so awesome, why don't you just learn from Ah Du and lie under the car? Why bother with tracking?
Some people are engaged in youth pain literature. Comrade Lao Chu is experiencing continuous labor pains, and he brought this upon himself.
Looking at the perfect picture of the mother and son watching the sunset by the river, and the message on the edge that said "Just like that, don't cry, look into the distance", Lu Mingfei almost dug a big gap in the floor with his toes.
He couldn't quite understand when a green-headed turtle appeared in the Chinese zodiac.
Do you really think you are a love saint?!
He forced away a woman he loved deeply and who had loved him, watched her throw herself into the arms of another man, then silently followed and secretly filmed her to watch over her, and in the luxurious basement he lamented that he loved her without regrets, smoking cigars and drinking wine, hoping that she lived a better life than he did.
Is this something a human would do?
Lu Mingfei didn't understand, but was greatly shocked, just like the first time he saw the love action movie that Cuckold and his husband were currently committing.
Oh shit, there’s something awesome!
"Dosidano (what's wrong)?" Eri's hand was pinched by him, and she could feel that Lu Mingfei's emotions were fluctuating greatly, and his breathing was a little heavy.
"No, I just remembered a song." Lu Mingfei remained calm, smiled and told himself not to be angry, it was not worth it.
"What song?" Eri asked curiously.
"'Lift Up Your Skull.'" Lu Mingfei said these incredible words in a serious tone.
He really wanted to open Lao Chu's skull to see what was wrong with him that caused his brain to go haywire and turn what could have been a happy life into such a mess.
In his previous life, he always said earnestly that a real man should take good care of his family and not let them suffer any grievances, and he also put this into practice.
How come when I came to this world, I became a negative example?
"Sakura, up there." Eri tugged at the corner of his clothes, pointing to the top of the bed.
Lu Mingfei looked up and found countless red lines in the air. Some of them were parallel to each other, while others were entangled and knotted. They seemed chaotic, but gave people a strange sense of sequence.
The light of the tactical flashlight was directed to the center. Chu Zihang no longer paid attention to the secretly taken photos, and his eyes fell on the complicated red lines.
The red thread was strung with handwritten pieces of paper, each of which recorded a major event, many of which were unheard of and terrifying:
On June 30, 1908, the Tunguska explosion occurred...
On August 30, 1900, during the Summer Mourning incident, a mysterious ancient corpse suddenly awakened, a Dragon King-level force invaded, Cassel Manor was destroyed, the first generation of the Lionheart Society was almost wiped out, and the only survivor, Hilbert Jean Ange, fell into a coma for a year.
Lu Mingfei walked forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Chu Zihang.
"Are these all dragon resurrection events?"
"Well, the Tunguska explosion is one of the three most mysterious explosions in history. The other two are the Wanggongchang explosion and the Mohengzhuo Daro death hill incident." Chu Zihang's voice was indifferent, as if he had withdrawn from the emotion just now:
"The mixed-blood world's inference about these three explosions is basically inclined to be some kind of destructive high-risk word spirit, such as the Tunguska explosion. The public speculates that it may have been caused by the word spirit Rhine with serial number 113. The shock wave is comparable to that of a nuclear bomb explosion and even shattered glass 650 kilometers away. The mushroom cloud that rose at the scene could be seen clearly on the banks of the Rhine River."
Lu Mingfei nodded and continued reading. There was a year that caught his attention the most - 1991.
The year he was born.
On Christmas Eve of that year, a violent explosion occurred in the frozen port north of Siberia. The group of fighter jets going to conduct reconnaissance were attacked by mysterious creatures and were completely wiped out.
Lu Mingfei knew more accurate information. The port that was bombed was called Swan Harbor, a biological genetic research base. The director of the research center was Jung von Herzog, and the subject No. 0 who was being studied was his younger brother.
And the girl holding his hand had her birthday on that day.
The last record was on November 7, 2001, when the executive department of Kassel College went to the Greenland Sea to investigate the mysterious heartbeat sound. As a result, they encountered an enemy suspected to be the Dragon King on the seabed, and only one and a half people survived.
Chu Zihang can add the records for later periods of time - on July 4, 2004, the entrance to the Nibelungen suddenly appeared on the elevated section of Fuzhou Binhai City. Odin, the main god in Norse mythology, intercepted and killed Chu Tianjiao, an S-level executive of Kassel Academy, and only Chu Zihang escaped.
Lu Mingfei frowned slightly as he looked at the last piece of paper. According to the time calculation, Finkel should have just entered Kassel College at this time, right?
He remembered that when the deep-dive plan was mentioned, there was a flash of unnaturalness in Finkel's eyes.
Yes, with Finkel's bloodline, there is a high probability that he will be drafted into the execution department as a soldier.
So, it was because of the shitty operation of Kassel Academy that Finkel, who was supposed to be a Silver Wolf, became the Husky Spirit he is today?
Damn, Kassel Academy really deserves to die!
Wait!
Lu Mingfei suddenly realized something was wrong, and he looked at Chu Zihang abruptly: "Is there a girl named Eva in Kassel College?"
Chu Zihang thought for a moment and shook his head: "There is no such person among the students at present, but the academy's artificial intelligence secretary Norma will activate the war personality when performing important tasks. The name of the war personality is EVA."
He is the only student of the Minister of the Executive Department, and he has some knowledge of many unknown things.
"Do you know the origin of that Eva?" Lu Mingfei asked. He knew that the artificial intelligence Kaguya of the Sheqi family was modeled after Norma, the academy secretary of Kassel, in order to fight against the academy headquarters at the digital information level.
Chu Zihang shook his head: "You should ask Finkel about this, he is an expert in this area."
I was afraid that asking this question would be like a knife stabbing him in the heart.
Lu Mingfei shook his head silently, putting the matter aside for the time being and planning to ask about it again after returning.
Continuing to look along the red line, all major events related to the dragon clan in the past two hundred years are recorded on these handwritten papers. All related ones are connected by red lines. Occasionally, the intersection of several clues will lead to new events, while others are isolated and excluded.
These red lines formed an intricate web above the bed, and were finally twisted into a bundle of thick ropes near the concrete wall. On the wall was written in black ink a name that symbolized "despair" - Nidhogg!
"So, is he here to investigate Nidhogg's whereabouts, or to be alert to its awakening?"
Chu Zihang looked at the four large characters written in flowing strokes on the wall, his thoughts swirling. He was not wondering why the man had such beautiful handwriting but deliberately wrote ugly words when signing his homework, but why the principal assigned him this task.
The man must have come to this city very early, for that special purpose, disguised as a driver who could travel around and rush to the rescue as soon as possible when an accident occurred.
It's just that he fell in love with the right person at the wrong place and at the wrong time, married her, had children with her, spent some memorable happy time with her, and then separated, walking back into the shadows and loneliness, continuing to watch over or chase after the supreme, virtuous and powerful existence.
Chu Zihang knew nothing about matters between men and women, and it was hard to tell whether the man initially approached his mother because he liked her, or because he was lonely, or simply wanted to continue his bloodline.
Perhaps he is like a tiger in the jungle, always wandering alone. He will stay for a short time after meeting a tigress he likes, and will leave when the tigress successfully becomes pregnant with his bloodline. He will continue to wander in the endless steel jungle, intimidating enemies lurking in the dark with his sharp claws and fangs.
But human beings are social animals after all, and the land of gentleness is the tomb of heroes. That man is not a tiger, and he can't let go of that stupid woman and their child.
So, he turned from a powerful tiger into a lazy pig.
Then, he died.
If you pretend to be a pig and try to eat the tiger for too long, you will really become a pig and lose the fighting instinct that a tiger relies on for survival.
And in the iron jungle, there are creatures more powerful than him.
His name is Odin, he rides an eight-legged Pegasus and holds the Spear of Eternity.
The man who turned into a tiger again bared his sharp fangs and challenged the gods with his mortal body, but was easily killed by the gods and never made it out of that rainy night.
The tiger cub who escaped from the rainy night but was trapped there forever became angry day after day and would do anything to get revenge.
"You said that Uncle Chu threw a box to Odin the night he ran into him?" Lu Mingfei asked, "If Odin couldn't help but rob it, there must be something very important inside, probably related to the Black King."
He actually lacked confidence when he said this. After all, if he really wanted to say it, it seemed that he was the only one in this city who had the strongest connection with the Black King.
As things have developed to this point, it is difficult for Lu Mingfei to say with confidence that he is a mammal, Primates, Homo, Homo sapiens.
But as long as he doesn't admit it, no one can expel him from the society.
Chu Zihang nodded, and the man's whispered reminder seemed to ring in his ear again:
"When I say 'run', you have to run towards the car. Don't look back. Don't look back!"
"Odin didn't just want the box, he wanted me and my dad as well," he said. "My dad used himself and the box as bait to give me a chance to escape."
The box was an old-fashioned weapons box from Kassel Academy, but it certainly contained more than just weapons.
But what it is exactly, there is no way to know.
Having said that, the excitement I had felt when I saw the basement that was not what I had imagined suddenly turned into depression, as if I had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
What's the point of being angry when the person is no longer here?
“You said that Odin was wearing a bronze mask that night?” Lu Mingfei recalled what happened in the deserted town in France. There were monsters with bronze masks and Deadpool wearing a cloak. The sense of déjà vu of the scene was so strong that it was hard not to associate them together.
Chu Zihang nodded and told the story about the runes painted on the bronze mask left behind after the green-faced beast was shot in the head.
“It seems like this is a situation where we have to settle both old and new grudges together.” Lu Mingfei’s mind began to storm, unleashing his wild and unconventional thinking. Eventually, his mind settled on a famous scene from a work that later generations of netizens strongly requested to be nominated for World Heritage status:
"You said that Odin not only wanted the box, but also wanted both of you. This means that he was impressed by your abilities."
There is no need to talk about Chu Tianjiao, who wouldn't be jealous of this thing called Time Zero?
Chu Zihang also has amazing potential, and his talent, willpower and luck are far superior to his peers.
When Odin saw him, he could not help but feel his admiration for his talent, so he invited him to be beheaded and took him in as a dog.
He stroked his chin and said, "Based on the conclusion of the famous Sea Tiger Telescope, it must be Odin. It beat Uncle Chu to his knees. It may be forcing Uncle Chu to go back with it to be its substitute messenger."
Chu Zihang didn't understand the joke, but he understood what it meant: "You mean, my dad might also be wearing a bronze mask?"
"Yes, and based on my years of watching movies, he is no longer an ordinary person after putting on the mask. He no longer has any worldly desires. If he sees his own son in front of him, he will probably kill him without any regard for his own son." Lu Mingfei analyzed, "But it's not a big problem. He should be able to return to his original state after taking off the mask."
This is the best outcome. Chu Zihang also knows Lu Mingfei's fighting ability. With him in the front, what he needs to worry about is whether his father, who is forced to become Odin's puppet, can withstand the beating.
Putting his mind at ease for the moment, Lu Mingfei looked around and released the Word Spirit Snake. Invisible biological signals spread in the basement and transformed into invisible vacuum snakes that drilled into every gap in the room, trying to find more clues.
Unfortunately, there was no extra gain.
But the gains were enough, and I learned a lot of unknown information.
"What do you say? Are we going to move all these things away?" Lu Mingfei looked around. There were quite a few valuable things, but they were just that. Both of them were non-smokers and non-drinkers.
Chu Zihang hesitated for a moment and decided to only take away the photos, the camera and the pieces of paper strung on the red string, leaving everything else as it was.
As long as the house remains the same, he will pay the Black Prince Group to keep the basement.
After all, this is also proof that the man existed. If I really find him one day, I will explain it to him clearly.
There is a vast sea of people, and five years have passed since then. No one knows where the man was abducted by Odin, or whether he was forced to commit a wrong thing.
Returning to the second underground floor, Lu Mingfei looked at the melted iron lock, grabbed it with both hands, reheated it, and forcibly reassembled it, then restored the bed to its original position.
Everything returned to normal. There were footsteps and the sound of a trailer outside, and the three of them walked out of the room.
The middle-aged man looked at the three of them holding only a thin bag in their hands and was a little curious, but after Chu Zihang explained that he wanted to keep the room and was willing to bear the corresponding expenses, he didn't say anything else. He just looked at him with a look of "Why did you have this idea before?" and agreed.
After leaving the Black Prince Group's factory and getting back into the car, Chu Zihang was about to start the engine when his left eyelid suddenly began to twitch.
Lu Mingfei, who was standing by, felt something and looked up at the sky, only to see a passenger plane gradually descending under the clouds.
"Are you from Cheng Shuangfan's hunting team?"
"Probably." After Chu Zihang finished speaking, his calm right eyelid twitched slightly.
