The time is before dinner.
The three siblings were just about to prepare dinner in the kitchen when they heard the surprising sound of the door opening and all ran out.
But they never expected that it was the man who had been away from home for more than ten years, the man with the surname Neumann, the man who had the same blood as them.
Despite his weather-beaten face, despite his gray hair, despite the dim evening light.
But no matter whether it was the father or the child, they recognized each other's identity the moment they saw each other!
The four of them stared at each other across the huge, empty hall, and no one spoke for a moment.
Unbelievable, anxious, panic, angry...
Karl's knuckles and muscles made waves of uncontrollable noises, while Frank and Manny held their brother's arms tightly on the left and right, fearing that he would rush over and beat old Neumann to death.
'Calm down, stay calm! ! '
Everyone told themselves this in their hearts.
"Let me go."
Karl's voice trembled slightly, and it was hard to tell whether it was sadness or anger, but he found that his brother and sister hugged him even tighter.
"Huh~ I told you, let me go, I won't hit him, don't worry."
His tone was much calmer than before.
"real?"
Manny asked tentatively.
"real!"
Frank looked at his father, then at his sister, and gently loosened his arms.
Old Neumann put his luggage on the ground, his hands at a loss, he didn't dare to put it down or unfold it, and he didn't know how to start.
Carl felt his arm being released and sighed again, as if he was about to take a step forward and say something.
Then very suddenly, he jumped out.
"How dare you come back, you bastard? Go to hell!!!"
With a "bang", a punch hit old Neumann's nose hard, knocking him to the ground and bringing down his suitcase.
Frank and Manny opened their mouths wide, then rushed over and hugged Carl again to prevent him from continuing to hit him.
"Let him go and let him beat me! I asked for it!"
Old Neumann, who was lying on the ground, had blood flowing from his nose and the corner of his mouth was broken by his teeth due to the force of the fist. He supported himself and stood up, looking in a dishevel.
"Let Carl go and let him fight!"
Finally I had the courage to speak.
Looking at the old face, Carl gasped. In fact, if he had really just hit continuously, how could Frank and Manny stop him who had received professional training.
Feeling Carl's tense muscles relax, the two siblings hesitated for a moment and finally let go of his hand. Fortunately, they did not attack again.
"You, are you really the father?"
When old Neumann left home, Manny was only five or six years old, which was the time when she needed her parents the most.
These words made old Neumann feel pain in his heart and his sense of guilt deepened.
Tears couldn't stop flowing from my eyes.
"I failed. I should have come back earlier, but I didn't dare... I'm a coward... I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!!"
…
After his wife died of illness, old Neumann fell into a long period of depression, which stimulated his former paranoia and caused it to relapse.
The end is coming! One day when I was flipping through the Dawn Notebook, I saw the dark confrontation that seemed like a lie, and looked at the description written by my ancestors with a mocking but different mood, and suddenly came to this conclusion.
He wants to find the light, he wants to find the guardians with magical powers!!
Unswerving and resolute!
One year, two years... Although many clues were found in these years, and even some like-minded people who yearned for mystery, the real "truth", the existence that his father was still thinking about before his death, has still not been truly found.
From having no clues to the excitement of discovery, from full of enthusiasm to depression, sometimes alone and sometimes with friends.
After the past four or five years, old Neumann has actually gradually become calm and sober.
But he didn't dare go home. He was afraid that the children would not recognize him. How could he go back when he was poor and penniless like a homeless person?
He started working while traveling and sending money home regularly. During the four or five years of hiatus, the family account was still there. He once asked a friend to secretly look after the children, but he became more and more afraid to go home... They hated him!
He didn't even dare to imagine how the three children got through the first four or five years.
I am a coward! A poor creature pursuing an unrealistic fantasy!
…
The three siblings were stunned by the crying of the old man in front of them. They didn't know when there was another cry. Manni threw herself into old Neumann's arms and cried without hesitation.
Carl and Frank maintained their dignity as adult men and did not move, but they could not stop their tears from flowing.
The knot in one's heart cannot be dissolved immediately, but sometimes it is not indestructible.
The four of them confided in each other, and even the icy Carl would occasionally add a word or two with a sarcastic tone.
"Oh no, dinner isn't ready yet! It's already 7 o'clock!"
"Let's go out to eat, to the best French restaurant, or do you want to eat Chinese cuisine?"
Old Neumann lived frugally and saved quite a bit of money.
…
At 7:30, Nisso held on to the breath tightly, and while doing two things at the same time, the Volkswagen was still driven like a drift racing car.
Peter, who received the call for help, had already calculated the advance time based on the route of Nisso's car and was waiting next to a statue of an ancient warrior next to Rauch Park.
He didn't know what kind of dangerous monster Nisso was chasing, and he didn't know whether the two of them had the strength to deal with it. The only thing that was certain was that thing was flying in the sky!
But there are only two of them in the association near the entire Munich city. In fact, the branch in Deyi Country has not yet recovered. At this moment, they seem to be particularly weak when faced with the sudden situation.
They should not and must not back down, and must understand what exactly is going on.
After asking for help from the association, the magic controller who was preparing to come had already changed flights and boarded the plane in advance, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Even if they departed from the nearest Paris branch, it would take several hours to arrive.
“Woo… woo…”
The engine of the Volkswagen car roared incessantly and the accelerator was pressed firmly. There is no speed limit on the highways in Germany and Italy, so Nisso increased the speed to the maximum to avoid losing track.
He drove while gritting his teeth, sensing the dangerous aura of that thing going from vague to clearer.
But this is not because the Nisso car is fast enough, it only shows one problem, that thing is lowering its altitude!
The city of Munich was getting closer and closer before his eyes, and Nisso's heart began to sink.
"Peter, the monster's target is indeed there, Munich!!"
The most likely reason why monsters approach cities is because of humans. Flesh, blood, and soul are the most primitive forces.
The cell phone and Peter were always in voice chat mode to keep him informed of the news.
…
In the dim night, the Neumann family, who were preparing to go to a high-end restaurant, sat in the car, and Frank drove to the reserved restaurant.
"Frank, let's go to Rauch Park. It's closer that way."
The excited sister kept using her cell phone to navigate the route to the restaurant, even though she knew Frank knew the way.
"Manny, it's already past the rush hour, there won't be many cars on the road, I'll just drive faster."
Having said that, Frank still turned from the intersection ahead.
During this period of time, there were few vehicles around Rauch Park, and few people went to such a remote large park at night, so the journey was smooth.
When driving past a sculpture, the headlights seemed to illuminate a familiar figure, and Frank even felt that the other person glanced at him.
But the high speed of the car may be a mistake, and the only physical manifestation is that the car subconsciously slows down.
"What's wrong?"
Carl, who was resting with his eyes closed in the passenger seat, felt the car slowing down and suddenly asked, "There aren't many cars in the front."
"I think I saw Peter. He was right next to the statue at the edge of the park."
Carl thought of the gift and looked at old Neumann and his sister in the rearview mirror. Neither he nor Frank had ever mentioned the incident to their father.
"Don't worry about him, let's go eat."
"Um."
In the public telephone booth next to the statue, Peter called the police for the third time and asked them to contact the special department. There would be a monster in the sky and it would be best to send fighter jets into the air.
The response you get can be summed up in one sentence - "You're crazy."
"Fuck you!"
"Boom~"
Unable to contain his anger, Peter smashed the phone in the booth with one punch, and half of the booth flew out with it.
It flew over a dozen meters and hit the road with a bang, causing a lot of sparks.
Frank and Carl, who were looking at the rearview mirror, had their pupils contracted at the same time.
"Squeak~~~" The harsh sound of brakes was heard, and both brothers turned their heads to look over there.
…
It was already very close. Even though it was not yet within the perception distance, Peter could already feel the magic power in his arm beginning to become restless.
With the sound of "crunching", all the muscles and bones in the body became active.
At this moment, Peter's body temperature was rising rapidly, and hot gas was spewing out from his nostrils.
He noticed that the car had stopped in the distance, and had also noticed that it was Frank's family. Just now, he did not use the magic power on his arm to perform the engraving spell to cover himself, so Frank might have noticed him as well.
He took two or three steps to the statue of the ancient warrior, jumped up, grabbed something with both hands, and kicked hard with his feet.
With two sharp "bang" sounds, the bronze spears held by two of the tall warriors were pulled down.
The bronze spears, nearly three meters high and weighing at least several dozen kilograms, were held in his hands, one on each side, and thrown gently into the air to weigh.
"Frank, listen to me...take your family and leave now!"
The roar was clearly heard by Frank and his family from a distance, and at this moment, they all looked a little dazed. Even though it was dim, the thing in Peter's hand was the spear of an ancient warrior sculpture?
It's made of copper!
All the strength in Peter's body began to activate, and the magic power in his arms became hot, stretching his body's strength to the limit. The muscles on his body all bulged slightly. Peter, who was already strong enough, now looked even more ferocious.
Separate your feet forward and backward, and bend your body slightly.
The monster has not yet appeared in the perception distance, but his excellent intuition from long-term training has already given him a sense of distant energy.
"Frank, it's very dangerous here. I may not be able to take care of you guys for a while... Go away!!!"
In the roar.
With a loud "bang".
The ground beneath Peter's feet suddenly exploded. The powerful reaction force pushed the warrior's strong physique to sprint across a distance of nearly 100 meters in an instant.
The moment when you accelerate to the limit.
“Swoosh~” “Swoosh~”
The two bronze spears flashed in a flash, and in addition to the violent whistling sound, they almost brought out two red lights in the air.
…
Frank and Carl were shaking uncontrollably and subconsciously looked at their dazed father.
"This can't be true..."
