411. The sword Liu Yu raised all those years ago finally fell...
Before the fall of the Kingdom of God.
Lu Yao leaned against the door, feeling a sharp pain behind his shoulder blades. There was a pattern of flying birds there. He didn't know how long this door had existed, nor did he know who had designed the relief. He only knew that when Liu Yu was a child, he would stay in front of this door for a long time before coming in.
He saw his sister off and thought of Liu Yu at that moment.
His impression of Liu Yu is very complicated, and the initial image is easy to summarize: a gentle and beautiful mother.
But one day, it was a little difficult for him to summarize. He passed by his mother's room and heard a puffing sound coming from inside.
Lu Yao held his breath and looked through the crack in the door. He saw a sharp flash of a knife. Liu Yu was holding a dagger in his hand, his hair was messy, and he was only wearing pajamas. He was stabbing a pillow hard.
The tip of the knife sank in, and the feathers inside fluttered, as if Liu Yu was killing someone.
Liu Yu noticed the gaze at the door and glanced up. Lu Yao felt that she was going to kill him, so he retreated and hid in the quilt, trembling.
He couldn't explain what Liu Yu was doing that day, and Liu Yu wouldn't explain it to him. Later, they all said that their mother was crazy. He found the answer overnight. Oh, it turned out that she was just crazy, so he felt relieved.
His mother never beat or scolded him, but all her care was just right. Lu Yao could occasionally feel the emotions his mother expressed, as if a person had been acting for a long time and finally revealed his inner thoughts in a moment of relaxation.
His mother hated him.
Lu Yao has been able to sense this since he was a child. He is a child of destiny and the future head of the Lu family, but he does not receive the love of his mother.
He didn't even know why. Was it because he did something wrong that made his mother unhappy?
He recalled his mother's murderous glance countless times.
The mother's love for her sister is even more obvious. It is an existence that does not need to be confirmed. It seems to flow naturally between them, as natural as a river, and I cannot join in at all.
Children's emotions are simple. When Lu Yao was very young, he fought for his mother's love, but received no response several times. This fight turned sour, especially when he witnessed Liu Yu walking towards the door at the end of the corridor.
There was a flying bird pattern carved on the door, and the owner of the house lived behind the door.
When Lu Yao understood what was behind the door, his first reaction was that his mother was suddenly not so beautiful anymore, but became dirty and cheap. How could she be both his mother and his sister at the same time?
He felt sick to his stomach and wanted to vomit when he thought about it. He was even more afraid that this matter would be made public. It was as if there was a bomb buried under the bed. He was in a state of panic every day, always feeling that an eye was watching him and countless mouths were calling him a bastard.
Later, Liu Yu committed suicide, and Lu Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the invisible bomb would never explode.
After her mother's death, Lu Yuan changed a lot. She stood in the corner wearing an exquisite black dress, looking like a doll, as if she had become an orphan overnight.
Lu Yao didn't know how to correctly interpret his own psychology, and why he felt happy on the day his mother died.
Is it because of jealousy of the close relationship between mother and sister?
Lu Yao walked over, took his sister's hand, hugged her gently and said, "Don't be afraid, I will take care of you."
He kept repeating this to himself: in many adventure novels, the hero always has a sister character. Most of the sisters are very pitiful and need money to treat their illnesses. The hero then goes out to explore the world with this as the core goal. If necessary, the sister can even die to reach the climax of the whole book.
Such stories appear in countless adventure novels, like a classic that will be passed down forever, and Lu Yao feels that this is a symbol of himself as the protagonist.
Lu Yao was almost immersed in this, telling himself again and again that his brother would treat him well.
He tried hard to put this into practice. He knew the family secrets, took control of the Lu family's company, and gave his sister the best of everything.
Lu Yuan is as beautiful as her mother, with a flawless appearance, and she often attracts people's attention when she walks on the street.
She became the most perfect sister in the world, even better than the ones in adventure novels, beautiful but tragic, everything just right.
But in that inadvertent moment, he saw eyes that were extremely similar to his mother's, and he also saw their expressions.
She hates me, she looks down on me.
Lu Yao couldn't shake off the speculation in his mind. He thought of Liu Yu's eyes when she raised the knife. Liu Yu's image overlapped with Lu Yuan's. His sister would kill him one day.
Snap——
He slapped Lu Yuan that day, and his first reaction was fear. He thought of the secret of Lu Yuan and felt that he was doomed to die.
But Lu Yuan didn't react at all. She held the mark of her palm, looked at him in disbelief with tears in her eyes. In the end, she just remained silent, probably making excuses for him in her heart.
Lu Yuan loved him, so he was not punished.
Lu Yao became very excited after feeling scared. He had access to the core secrets of the Lu family and knew that his sister was the mother of the future new world and possessed powerful strength.
But so what? Lu Yao was complacent. As long as Prometheus was still there and Teacher Qi was still alive, neither Liu Yu nor Lu Yuan could even use their special abilities.
Lu Yuan will definitely go behind the door and continue his mission as a bastard.
As dirty as her mother.
The mother of the new world is a great meritorious person. Medals should be given out as many as you want. Only you will stand at the top of the pyramid.
He is the future master of the new world.
Lu Yao looked at his sister with an increasingly strange gaze. Sometimes he wanted to praise her to the sky, and sometimes he belittled her in his heart.
He didn't like hitting people very much, but every time he did, he would feel inexplicably comfortable, as if the anger that had been held for a long time had finally been released.
Every time he hit Lu Yuan, he determined the location of his master in his mind.
He comforted his sister and expressed his love, I love you, I will take care of you and accompany you.
If the world ends, we will die together. We are both hybrids. Only I can understand what you have suffered, so you cannot abandon me.
After he sent Lu Yuan to the door, he followed what Teacher Qi said and thought that once this was done, everything would be successful. It was ironic that such a dirty thing suddenly had the best explanation, becoming a great victory and saving all mankind.
But Lu Yao was not happy. He wanted to rush in and stop everything. He didn't dare to imagine what was happening inside. His fists were getting tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to make himself bleed.
Puff——
In a trance, he seemed to hear the sound of a knife tip piercing into the pillow. That sound always appeared, following him like a ghost. He thought it was an illusion at first, but the sound became louder.
Puff, puff—
It was not the sound of a knife, but more like an abnormal electric current. Then the next moment, a red light emanated from the dark corridor, an alarm sounded, and the servants of the Lu family hurriedly walked by, trying to determine what had happened.
Lu Yao subconsciously raised his secondary brain. Generally speaking, someone would send him a crisis report at this time. He was very good at handling crises. He was also the one who cleaned up the mess of Creation last time.
But the secondary brain flashed and then stopped, the blue light went out, and Lu Yao stared at it in a daze, unable to react.
"The defense network is failing, run!"
He heard a roar. Unlike the last time Zhu Ning attacked the Kingdom of God, the tall blue defense net went out within a second, as if the world was shrouded in darkness after the sun went down.
The usually loyal servants did not come to save him as planned, and no one even came to inform him of the bad news. Everyone's first reaction was to run for their lives.
Amid the hurried footsteps, Lu Yao felt abandoned.
He raised his eyes and saw that on both sides of the corridor, there was a dark door on one side and a narrow window on the other. Generally, a blue light could be seen from here. It was a corner of the defense network. Every time Liu Yu came out, he would look across, as if he was looking at his enemy.
Lu Yao was also watching, counting silently in his mind. This might be an accident, and it would probably light up again in the next second.
one two three……
He counted to a hundred, but the blue light didn't come back on, and Prometheus shut down.
Such a powerful intelligent creature would not have any malfunction and would be extinguished for one minute. More than a hundred seconds means it is dead.
Prometheus is dead.
He was shocked and couldn't believe it more than the sky falling.
Lu Yao is the head of the Lu family and the father of the new world. He should be calm, but his clenched fists are shaking.
He calmed himself down countless times, thinking about what to do with his sister. The servants would not save them. Lu Yao once again thought of the protagonist of the adventure novel. The male protagonist would choose to save his sister in the moment of despair. He was still the male protagonist.
Lu Yao turned around, pushed open the door, and rushed in. After finding his sister, he held her tightly in his arms.
But his impulse was dashed after he pushed the door open. This was not a place he could enter without permission.
Lu Yao subconsciously wanted to escape, but his legs couldn't move at all. The room was pitch black. He heard a beeping alarm, which was the sound of the life support equipment.
Lu Yao stopped and moved forward as if guided by fate until he could see the bed.
The machine screen is the first thing that attracts people's attention. The curved lines on it are straight. Is the life being maintained dead?
Lu Yao's pupils contracted and his gaze moved downward, where he saw a large area of red.
Blood stained the pure white sheets red. The last time he saw so much blood was at Liu Yu's suicide scene. He didn't understand it at that time. If she wanted to commit suicide, she should just commit suicide. Why make it so tragic?
But now I seem to understand. Such a strong visual impact makes people very scared, as if their heart is also being tightened.
The head of the Lu family had his throat cut, his trachea was completely severed, and the crack looked like a wide-open mouth. The old man who had lived for a hundred years had his eyes wide open, and he was in disbelief before he died.
How dare anyone kill him?
But this one knife was not enough. There were at least a dozen knife wounds of various sizes on his body. There was once a mad woman who stabbed him with knife after knife. Cutting his throat was not the first step but the last step. She was almost torturing him and making him die a miserable death.
The "puffing" sound Lu Yao heard was not an illusion; it really happened behind the door. When he looked at the knife edge again, he seemed to hear the sound of the knife again at the scene.
Nian Nian killed his father, killed his grandfather, and killed the source of his bloodline.
Lu Yao forced himself to calm down. He remembered that there was an emergency plan, which Teacher Qi had taught him about what to do if the head of the family died.
Prometheus is dead and the protective net is ineffective. As long as Nian Nian remains sane, she will definitely stand on his side. After all, it is such a great cause.
"elder brother."
In the dark room, right in front of his father's body, he heard Nian Nian's voice.
A pair of hands hugged him from behind, and his back was soaked with smelly blood. He guessed that it must be his father's blood.
His sister's hands were so small, and her embrace was so soft. Lu Yao thought of how he had hugged his sister and held her in his arms when his mother died. Now he was the one being hugged by his sister.
He suddenly realized that it was not his sister who needed the male protagonist, but the male protagonist who needed a role like his sister.
After he was hugged, he felt a feeling that was difficult to describe, a mixture of peace and fear.
But soon the hug turned sour. The two arms tightened more and more. Lu Yao could hardly breathe and felt that his internal organs were being squeezed.
"Brother." The young man called him in a young voice.
"Help..." Lu Yao felt death approaching him and couldn't help but beg for mercy, "Help..."
His voice became increasingly hoarse, and suddenly it seemed as if all the blood in his body was flowing backwards, his heart was deprived of blood and was unable to tremble, and his eyeballs were about to explode from the pressure.
And his feet were shaking. Not only himself, but the entire kingdom of God was about to fall.
Nian Nian has always been irrational. She is a lunatic, sharing the same blood as her mother. Lu Yao has contributed to her madness; she was driven mad by the Lu family.
The first-class citizens shouted loudly, the people of God's kingdom trembled, and some people prayed to God.
She doesn't care about the survival of the whole world. She only wants revenge, revenge, and only revenge.
If the price of revenge is the death of all humanity, then death.
Carrying a part of Liu Yu and a part of her mother's mother, she moves forward and seizes the only chance. Zhu Ning has unlocked the shackles for her from afar, and she will fight back at all costs.
The kingdom of God was shaken by her anger, countless water droplets condensed in the air, the surrounding pressure increased infinitely, and the island floating in the air moved down inch by inch.
Lu Yao saw Nian Nian's face in the reflection of the instrument. Blood was splashed on her delicate face. Her eyes were very cold, as if they had been hidden for many years just for this moment, as sharp as two knives.
Every time he was slapped, he suppressed hatred and wanted to eat him alive. The hatred accumulated over the years finally erupted.
It reminded Lu Yao of his mother's eyes. Liu Yu stabbed the pillow again and again, and white feathers flew around. Niannian stabbed his father again and again, and real blood flew around.
He could have escaped back then, but now he was hugged by his sister and couldn't even run away.
His ribs seemed to be broken, and his internal organs must be gradually exploding, his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs, exploding into a bloody mist like fireworks.
“Help…Help…”
"Brother, go to hell." Her eyes curved, the corners of her mouth smiled, but her arms tightened.
They once said that they would go to hell together, but there was no "we" in Nian Nian's words, only "myself", and he was the only one going to hell.
Lu Yao was shrouded in indescribable fear. Of course he was afraid of death or failure, but neither was as terrifying as what he felt now. He was abandoned by his sister.
Nian Nian wants him to die alone, and after he dies, Nian Nian will continue to live.
No matter what kind of life I live year after year, I will no longer be there. What is more frightening than death is loneliness.
Puff——
He heard the sound of the knife again, and the knife that Liu Yu had raised that year finally fell.
