"Su Yu, I'm very grateful for your help to me over the years, but I have to walk alone in the future." Lin Zihan has never been so calm as now, even terrifyingly calm.
Su Yu also felt a little nervous when he saw Lin Zihan's expression. That kind of nervousness about the inexplicable seriousness made Su Yu feel uneasy. This was the first time in these years that Su Yu felt so uneasy.
"Is that the great elder from Shenghui here?" Su Yu looked at Lin Zihan with alert eyes, at this friend who had grown up with him over the years and his unrelated brother.
"That person..." A disdainful smile appeared on Lin Zihan's lips, with a bit of bitterness and pity, pity for a dead person, or an unwilling dead person.
"That man is dead now. I haven't even had a good fight with him." Lin Zihan repeated it with a wry smile before finishing the sentence completely.
If it weren't for Lan Luoran, Lin Zihan's situation might be worse, but it wouldn't be too bad. After all, no one would have thought that the Great Elder Shenghui was just someone else's pawn.
The director of the Military and Political Department named Bi She has been hiding behind the weakness of the empire for so many years, using his hypocritical face to cover up his inner desires.
"The great elder of Shenghui is dead? Didn't he defeat Lan Luoran? As far as I know, his serious injuries were not enough to take away his life." Su Yu was not sure what it was that made Lin Zihan say Say what you just said.
At least according to the information obtained by Su Yu's intelligence network, Sang Yan had a tragic victory in that battle, but the so-called tragic victory did not cause irreparable injuries to Sang Yan.
"If I say that the one who killed him was Bi She, his personally chosen ally, wouldn't you think that everything would become clear?" Lin Zihan said calmly, with a calm expression. No ripples at all.
Hearing Lin Zihan's words, Su Yu's brows knitted together.
The wine glass in his hand couldn't help but sway. Su Yu began to think deeply about what Lin Zihan said, began to daydream about the various origins, and imagined the dramatic scene that happened.
"So, Shenghui is now the plaything of the empire?" Su Yu suddenly thought of something terrible. If an organization like Shenghui joins the empire, what will happen to the next battle? The impact is still unknown.
"No, to be precise, it's the thing in Bi She's hand. Even the thing that even the Star Technique is taboo on is in Bi She's hand." Lin Zihan squeezed out a bitter smile from the corner of his mouth, and that smile was uglier than crying. .
"Then you are still sure..." Su Yu's words came to an abrupt end. As Lin Zihan's brother, he should have trusted Lin Zihan, but now the strong men emerging in the empire have exceeded Su Yu's recognition. Know.
That was the existence that was rumored to be able to destroy the Dragon Clan. Such a terrifying existence was beyond Su Yu's estimation. Maybe Yuan Xing would experience another cleansing.
"Are you worried about me?" Lin Zihan felt a little confused. His eyes moved from the wine glass in front of him to Su Yu's face, staring closely into Su Yu's eyes.
The alert and sinister scorching gaze made Su Yu's heart tremble. The moment they looked at each other, Su Yu felt a tremor all over his body, as if he was being poured ice water over his head.
"Why...you said that..." Su Yu suddenly stumbled a bit as he spoke, stammering like a child whose thoughts had been read through.
"You should be able to tell that I am not the real Lin Zihan. He and I are just like two people, so..." Lin Zihan, whose consciousness was occupied by the blood dragon, softened his eyes a bit and said frankly, with such a sincere tone. , does not look like a test.
"No matter who you are, you are you. Just running away will not solve any problems. Even if you find the real blood dragon, nothing will change."
Su Yu's panicked eyes returned to calmness, and he looked directly into Lin Zihan's black hole-like eyes, his eyes unflinching, and the corners of his mouth even contained a hint of seriousness and admonishment.
"The dragon clan has been extinct long ago. This is an indisputable fact. But you are so afraid that you have a schizophrenia and create a false consciousness of the dragon clan. You mix the memories that belong to you and the dragon clan together, thinking that you can escape. ?"
At this moment, Su Yu was like Lin Zihan's father, and his reprimanding tone was like scolding a child who evaded responsibility, quite a tone of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel.
"If you want to keep hiding like this, no one will force you, but don't forget that Lin Zihan, who once killed countless people in the north, has blood on his hands, but he still has true feelings in his heart."
Reaching out to lift the quilt on the table, Su Yu drank a glass of red wine in one gulp, then turned around and walked away without any hesitation.
Lin Zihan was left standing alone, staring at Su Yu who was drifting away and walking out of the reception. He was in a daze. To Lin Zihan, the noisy reception seemed like a world thousands of miles away.
…
"You can never wake a man who is pretending to sleep."
At this time, Su Yu locked himself in the secret room of the bar, boringly flipping through the book at hand, the book his mother had left behind, but Su Yu had never read it seriously.
Su Yu, who is infinitely obsessed with computer technology, hates these thick paper books the most, even if they are left behind by his beloved mother.
"Mom, why did you create Lin Zihan? Is he my brother, or..." Su Yu's eyes were red, with shining tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.
Over the years, from the moment Su Mu disappeared to the moment he saw Lin Zihan, Su Yu has been thinking about this problem, which has troubled Su Yu for five or six years.
"If it weren't for Lin Zihan, you wouldn't have left me." Su Yu looked at the photo at hand and kicked the safe casually.
Su Yu has looked at that photo from ten years ago countless times. If he didn't have the photo, Su Yu might not be able to remember what Su Mu looked like now.
…
During the reception, Lin Zihan was sitting there, sitting on the sofa in the corner of the reception, holding a red wine glass in his hand, and filling the wine glass with a full glass of wine.
Looking through the wine glass and using the neon lights at the reception, Lin Zihan looked at the figures who appeared at the reception.
Those figures that Lin Zihan might have an impression of, or that he didn't recognize at all, were walking through the reception one by one, toasting and drinking, and talking loudly. They had no idea that an enemy they couldn't deal with had appeared in the Southern Territory.
"Lin Zihan, where is Su Yu?" Ai Jie sat on the sofa next to Lin Zihan, leaning on the sofa with his broad body and holding a wine glass in his right hand.
"Go back. After all, this cocktail party has become unpleasant. He seems to be here..." Lin Zihan quickly put down the wine glass. The red wine that had reached the rim of the glass did not spill a drop.
"Then why are you still here? Don't you like this kind of flattery and intrigue the most?" Aijie glanced at it and found out that all the prominent figures in the Nandu Military and Political Hall were already here.
Many of them were Aijie's former colleagues, as well as some of the leaders of the original rebel army. The main figures from all the forces mingled together, and that was how the Military and Political Department in Nandu was established.
"I'm hesitant, hesitant about where to go, hesitant about whether to face an opponent who doesn't have much chance of winning." Lin Zihan said calmly, his tone was calm and cold, facing Aijie was like facing a stranger.
"Actually, today's cocktail party was originally intended for you to appear in front of these military and political officials with a new identity. After all, the current confrontation within the empire is between the dictatorship of the inner region on the one hand and the new order of the three border regions on the other. Fight.
Among them, many of them are Su Yu and Wang Qin, who are secretly building momentum for you, and the rumored shadow is also indispensable for fueling the flames. After all, it is said that the military commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory is..."
Aijie took a big sip of wine, paused, and then continued: "Actually, many people are talking about you, whether they are civilians or various forces. Some say you are a monster, some say you are a new direction in the future, and some think You are the savior..."
Hearing Aijie's words, Lin Zihan just smiled bitterly. A dragon man still has many labels on his body.
"Actually, no matter what, no matter what others think, you should be you. The Lin Zihan I know is not an indecisive person. He is a blind man who can become an extreme individual soldier."
A smile appeared on the corner of Ajie's mouth. It was a smile that had not appeared on Ajie's face for a long time. After dealing with some cunning foxes all day long, Ajie also developed a fake smile.
But when he saw Lin Zihan, Aijie still showed a knowing smile.
Leaning closer to Lin Zihan, Aijie tried his best to reach his wine glass in front of Lin Zihan and touched Lin Zihan's wine glass gently.
Hearing the slightly dull "Ding~", a trace of confusion flashed across Aijie's face. He looked at the glass filled with red wine. The smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by embarrassment.
"I've done it, you can do whatever you want..." Aijie drank down the remaining red wine in the glass in one sip, then continued to wear his newly acquired professional smile, grinned, and walked into the reception.
…
Fifty kilometers north of Nandu, in the mid-air, a red air blade slashed rapidly towards the north. That air blade almost cut the heaven and earth apart.
"Boom~"
The air blade seemed to be blocked by something, and turned into a grand fireworks in mid-air. The powerful impact blew away the remaining clouds, blowing out a pure sky.
"You came slower than I thought." In the distance where no one could be seen, a touch of enchanting red approached quickly.
Lin Zihan looked at the enchanting red light and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "You came much earlier than I expected. It seems that you are impatient."
