The first two sentences of the short story "I, Polar Bear Hunter" written by Fang Yan in the first month after joining Kassel left a very deep impression on Caesar Gattuso.
[Caesar was furious and suddenly crushed the TG9938 colorful gilded fountain pen, which was limited to ten pieces worldwide, in his hand: "Can't beat the polar bear? Find a lawyer! I want to sue him for spreading rumors!"]
[The lawyer sighed: "I'm listening, which one is a rumor?"]
God has mercy on me, and Fang Yan still showed some mercy in his writing.
At least he did not write Caesar Ricardo, the protagonist of the story who has the same name as Caesar Gattuso, as a mixed-race version of Zhao Menghua.
Instead, it portrays a little sun that is high above but warms the people around it.
——Although the polar bear hunter Mr. Caesar’s combat power is a little low and his leadership is entirely due to the praise of others, he is still a protagonist after all.
In Caesar's view, the way the protagonist of "I, Polar Bear Hunter" with the same name fights against his family is to constantly try to anger the elders in the family.
Rather than being a confrontation, it is more like a child's rebellion against his parents.
Full of reckless childishness.
Especially...
It feels particularly awkward when the protagonist squanders the family's money to please his fiancée, but hates his family from the bottom of his heart.
——Rights and responsibilities are always equal, aren’t they?
Anyway…
Just like Chu Zihang developed ball sports PTSD immediately after reading Fang Yan's novel in which the protagonist awakens Pangu bloodline and starts beating up high school basketball players.
After reading Fang Yan's book, Caesar Gattuso's attitude towards the entire family immediately became ten times stronger than before.
Why? The answer is simple! It is the same novel, but some people are reading the story, while others are looking in the mirror.
After reading the short story written by Fang Yan, Caesar, while feeling guilty, also began to truly learn and try to shoulder his obligations.
Today, Caesar has truly transformed after two years of hard work.
He understood the meaning of "responsibility" and matured quickly! This time, he made up his mind to team up with Lu Mingfei because...
The illusion that has troubled him for two years, which he called [The Rebirth of Caesar's Memories: Aso Makoto's Death]!
In that memory scene that seemed real and illusory, a killer rolled on the ground after being burned by gasoline.
Lu Mingfei was pointed at with a gun and could only say some nonsense to delay time.
Cassell's backup forces have not arrived yet.
Caesar himself, the protagonist, drove a tractor through the wall, holding Aso Shin, whom he failed to save, in one hand.
At that moment, all the bikers' attention and ammunition were focused on him.
What should have been a false illusion was eternally frozen in Caesar Gattuso's mind.
He felt that he was not under Fang Yan's illusion, but was reborn.
From that [timeline where Lu Fangyan does not exist], I came to this parallel time and space.
If everything was an illusion, how to explain all the memories that Makoto Aso left him?
The girl who wore braces and black-framed glasses, had her long hair combed into a neat ponytail and a coral red hairpin, and had no other decorations on her body.
That ordinary, humble girl, she had to take care of her elderly grandmother and work hard to pay for her college tuition.
She was like a weak insect, blown by the strong wind of fate towards a shining nobleman.
Caesar remembers it very clearly...
She gave all the little money she had to Caesar just because of the little bit of cheap affection in her heart.
On that chaotic night, Caesar was unable to save Zhen - she was knocked into the wall by Viper, her bones broken and she was overwhelmed by a tide of pain.
"Thank you... for coming back... I feel fine... but I need to go to the hospital. Can you take me... to the hospital?"
She is dead.
Die in that memory.
But her voice still lingers in Caesar Gattuso's ears, day and night, over and over again, without end.
Caesar, in his visionary memory, decides to save the girl, even if it means returning to a dangerous place.
Caesar Gattuso has never experienced any setbacks in his twenty years of life. He is a natural strong man, and as long as he recognizes someone, nothing will happen to them.
But that time, he failed, and the girl was shattered to pieces - literally.
"That is my responsibility..."
Caesar said to himself every day, "I have to find Masao Makoto and fulfill my responsibilities!"
For the first time, Caesar, who was as strong and proud as a lion, felt despair, and not because he was going to die.
It's because he is unable to fulfill his responsibilities.
No! No! Ability! This is the cruelest fact.
Even if the Desert Eagle's barrel turns red.
Even if every bullet tears apart all the evil in front of it.
What's the point? The girl who is as gentle and kind as a mother and believes in him won't come back. ...
Caesar's eyes were stern, and a cold flame burned in his icy blue eyes. He glanced at Fang Yan, Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, and Nuonuo like an emperor, and said with an unprecedented firmness: "I will go to that island country!"
The important thing is to see with your own eyes and listen with your kama-weasel...
Does a girl named Aso Makoto really exist in that country?
If I join the Dragon Blood Tea Party and get close to someone like Fang Yan, I will definitely become more powerful...
At least, they would not become so weak that they could not even defeat a polar bear after losing the convenience of thermal weapons.
"If you form a team, count me in!" As Nono spoke, he glanced at Caesar in confusion.
She thought that this noble young man would have to struggle with this for at least a few more days.
What on earth happened to this guy? Why did he act like a little boy in love? Nono, who never cared about her fiancé Caesar, suddenly had this weird thought.
Seeing Caesar's reaction, Fang Yan raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Okay! It's settled then!"
Originally, according to Fang Yan's idea, the scene clips of [Rainy Night, Overpass, Maybach] were to be played in an infinite loop in front of Chu Zihang; and the parallel world memory of [Tokyo, Fukai, Eri] was to be used as Lu Mingfei's daily wake-up alarm.
Now it seems that there is no need to do this.
"Then, my [God-Defying Team] is only missing one person, and it will be complete."
Fang Yan raised the corners of his lips and said loudly, "The most important guest of this [Dragon Blood Tea Party] has now arrived at the venue. Let us welcome him with applause—"
"One of the greatest dragon slayers of all time, Gilbert Jean Angers!"
