"Tsk." Lu Mingfei curled his lips and slowed down the car. Drive very seriously.
It would be better to have this guy next to him than to have someone distracting him.
"There's another curve ahead."
Lu Mingze continued to remind him like a navigator.
"I saw it this time."
Lu Mingfei responded.
The car gradually became quiet, and as Lu Mingfei became more proficient, Lu Mingze stopped reminding him.
"Okay, we're about to arrive at our destination. Do you have anything else to do?"
"It's nothing, it's just...brother, there really is a bear up here, no joke."
Lu Mingze once again reminded the problem at the beginning.
"Oh, I see, what's wrong?"
But what's surprising is that Lu Mingfei actually looks very calm.
"Tsk, tsk, that's really strange." Lu Mingze's tone was filled with confusion.
"What's so strange?" Lu Mingfei curled his lips.
"Going up the mountain even though there are bears on the mountain is like knowing that there are tigers on the mountain and going to the tiger mountain." Lu Mingze explained, "Brother, this is not like you..."
"What's different?"
Lu Mingfei retorted.
What he is best at is recognizing reality and himself.
That's why he appears here now. The bear shouldn't be able to catch up with the Bugatti he's driving now, but if he stays in the academy, he might get shot. The reason is that simple.
"I'm in the car now. Are bears, dragons or guns scary?"
"You seem to be right."
Lu Mingze chuckled, "And this is an opportunity. Brother, do you want me to help you find a bear after you go up the mountain, and then you can be a hero to save the beauty?"
"Come on... do you think I, with my thin arms and legs, can defeat a bear?"
Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes, "And isn't the senior sister also a mixed race? She should be much stronger than me. I don't know who will save whom..."
"No, brother, I think you think too highly of her."
Lu Mingze shook his head slightly, "She doesn't even have the spirit of speech. At best, she is just a woman who is a little stronger than a normal adult man. Facing a black bear without any weapons like this... should be enough for the opponent to have a full meal, right?"
"No, if you count me, you might be able to survive." The corner of Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched, "Are hybrids really as vulnerable as you say? Can't even fight a bear?"
"After all, they are just stronger humans. Don't be misled by the monsters you saw. The real situation is that you can easily take down these guys who look down on you with a gun, just like when you first came to the academy. Same."
Lu Mingze said matter-of-factly, "How was it? Are you disappointed? So I don't understand why you feel inferior?"
"You're saying this...as if I'm no better than them? Even if the mixed race is as bad as you said...what about me?"
Lu Mingfei asked speechlessly.
"I got to the S level entirely by cheating. The really powerful people are not me... but you."
"No, brother, you are wrong."
Lu Mingze shook his head helplessly as he listened, "Do you still remember what I said every time I gave you the secret book? It's 'this secret book is unblocked for you', not 'you can use this secret book'." Do you understand what I mean?"
"You want to say...this is my power in the first place? It's just unblocked?"
Lu Mingfei was stunned, a little in disbelief.
"Yes, but... you don't believe it, do you?"
Lu Mingze spread his hands helplessly, "Brother, I'm not talking about you, you are always like this... You are obviously very smart, you understand everything, and you know everything in your heart, but you keep choosing to escape. It won't work if this continues, but Don't blame me for not reminding you, I've said it a long time ago...if you continue like this, one day...you will regret it."
"I don't understand what you are saying..."
"No, you understand."
Lu Mingze narrowed his golden eyes and pressed forward step by step, "My stupid brother, stop deceiving yourself with boring lies, the real you..."
"Shut up!"
"What's wrong?"
Nono asked with some confusion.
She fell asleep just now, and when she woke up she heard Lu Mingfei mumbling inexplicably.
"No...it's nothing."
After coming back to his senses, Lu Mingfei shook his head and parked the car on the top of the mountain.
Lu Mingze was always so elusive, making him look like a lunatic who liked to talk to himself in the eyes of others.
Come and try it quickly. 】
"We're here...but tonight...there seems to be no stars."
Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked at the sky and said.
The senior sister said that there were "stars" on it. She probably wanted to see the stars so she asked him to drive the car up the mountain. But unfortunately, the night was very gray tonight and there was nothing but darkness in the sky.
"What a shame, I thought I could see it."
Nuonuo's eyes seemed a little disappointed, "Today is my birthday, so I want to see the stars. My mother always accompanied me to watch the stars on my birthday when I was a child. She said...if you make a wish on the stars, you will be able to do it one day. accomplish."
"Um...happy birthday."
Lu Mingfei blurted out subconsciously after hearing this.
He looked at Nono's profile at this moment and felt that he was even more confused about this girl.
Senior sister seems to be a cheerful and uninhibited person, I didn't expect to believe such childish words...
Well, he seems not qualified to comment either.
Because he didn't even look at the stars with his mother.
"received, thank you."
Nuonuo responded calmly.
She stretched out her hand towards Lu Mingfei nonchalantly, "So... where is the gift?"
"Um..." Lu Mingfei scratched his head in embarrassment, "I just knew... so..."
"Pfft, just kidding."
Nono couldn't help but laugh.
Lu Mingfei twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment. He understood that this girl seemed to just want to tease him.
"No wonder Caesar is so big today and has prepared roses all over the ground..."
He felt that if Caesar had explained the matter clearly to them in advance, none of them would feel unhappy and would even send blessings. After all, everyone knew each other. Who would be angry when a big boy celebrates the birthday of his beloved girl?
But Caesar seemed to be that kind of guy, the guy who never had to explain himself to anyone.
"I don't like roses, and I don't like that kind of pomp."
Nuonuo said calmly.
"Senior sister, this is your fault... Who said before that when Chen Wenwen and I confessed that girls like music, flowers and beautiful confession words?"
Lu Mingfei joked as if complaining.
"So didn't I come to make amends in the end? You are like a fool and believe everything you say."
There was a hint of helplessness in Nuonuo's tone, "But this kind of guy who is still counting money for me after being sold is really nice, I like him very much."
"I see."
Lu Mingfei lowered his head and muttered.
In fact, it was just like what Lu Mingze scolded.
He actually knows many things very well, but he just likes to hold on to unrealistic fantasies.
Just like Chen Wenwen back then, just like Chen Motong now.
He knew that Chen Wenwen had never liked him.
He also knew that Chen Motong only regarded him as his younger brother.
It's all just wishful thinking.
It seems that what he likes is not the two girls themselves, but... people who are nice to him.
He, Lu Mingfei, has always been an extremely weak person, and no one knows this better than himself.
People like him... no one has ever cared about him, and no one has expectations for him.
Chen Wenwen just treated him very normally, just like she treated other people, but such treatment was already a gift to a weak child who was in extreme decline.
He felt that Chen Wenwen was very kind to him, so he fell in love with Chen Wenwen.
Just like now... Chen Motong was very kind to him and very loyal, so he fell in love with Chen Motong again.
Thinking about it this way, everything seems to make sense.
For some reason, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that he was so stupid.
He just mistook other people's unintentional or casual kindness as 'love'.
Maybe he didn't even understand what the so-called 'love' was from the beginning.
Maybe... just like Lu Mingze said, he was just deceiving himself from beginning to end.
Using lies to deceive oneself is like...what are you afraid of?
············
Professor Schneider glanced at the hands on his watch. Nearly an hour had passed, and except for a few people who were caught by the three people from the company at the beginning, the other intruders had never been found.
If this spreads out, the college may have no place to lose its reputation.
"We have to find those guys quickly. The three guys from China have been guarding the door since just now. I don't know what they want to do, but obviously... they are not ready to help find those guys who sneaked in. .”
He turned to Professor Mans Rundstedt and asked, "Although most of the commissioners of the Executive Department are out on the job, do we really have no one available? Where is Ye Sheng? He should follow you Are you back with the principal?"
"Do you want him to use his word spirit to find traces of those people?"
Without waiting for Mansi to answer, Manstein on the side said first, "It doesn't have to be so troublesome. In fact, my speech spirit is also a snake, and compared to Ye Sheng, my speech spirit field is three times larger. It's easy." It can cover the entire college, but the key problem is that the entire college is under the 'commandments' of the Night Watch at the moment. Our current state is equivalent to cutting off an arm. It is normal for us to lose to these three Chinese strangers. of."
"Can we ask the night watchman to temporarily lift the 'commandment' first?" Schneider asked tentatively.
"It's useless to ask me... Although he is my father, only the principal can order him to contact the 'Commandments'." Manstein shook his head helplessly.
"We can't find the principal, let alone get his authorization..." Schneider has a headache. "Now is a special situation. This is the first time in history that the college has been invaded. Most of the surveillance cameras have been destroyed. If you want to rely on It is too difficult to find a few people in such a large academy, but if we can use the word spirit, there will be more than 700 more students who can use the word spirit as a combat force! It's just for this night, can you try it? Will he be accommodating?"
"..."
Manstein was silent for a long time, and finally picked up the phone: "I can only give it a try. Although he is my father, I have never felt what the so-called father's love is. Most of the time, that guy is disowned by all his relatives. "
In the attic of the church bell tower, the sound of horse hooves tapping came from the old TV.
An old man in cowboy attire lay on a rickety chair with his feet raised high. While watching the same old western movies on TV as he did, he shook the iron flask in his hand. He looked leisurely and at ease, as if he was completely unaware. What is happening in the outside world up to this moment.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
The old cowboy stretched out his old hand and grabbed the microphone.
"Are you still watching those Western movies? No matter how many times you go back and forth, I can still recite the lines in them."
The person on the other end of the phone was silent at first, then seemed to know what the old cowboy was doing through the voice coming over the phone, and started to complain.
The old cowboy was watching the same movie almost every time he called, so that even if he was not interested in the movie, he still remembered bits and pieces of the lines in it.
"Hey Angers, when did you go back to school?"
The old cowboy's eyes lit up when he heard the voice coming from the other end of the phone.
It seemed like he really didn't pay attention to what was happening in the outside world. Unless someone blew up his bell tower with a rocket launcher, there was no way he would react even if the sky fell apart outside.
"Not long ago, I also brought back the bottle of bones of Dragon King Norton." Angers replied calmly, "I am currently in the underground ice cellar, preparing to perform MRI reconstruction on it."
"Oh? So? You know, I don't care about these things."
The old cowboy asked with some confusion.
"Actually, there seems to be an intruder in the academy now. I don't want anyone to disturb me at the critical moment of my research, so...take over the 'commandments', right?"
Angers said this.
"..."
The old cowboy sat up silently, put down his drink, reached out to turn off the TV not far in front of him, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course I am serious. Norma has judged that the intruder is a dragon. The princes of the dragon are about to wake up. It is time for the young people to have some experience." Angers replied calmly.
"If the dragon tribe is invading, shouldn't I stick to my position?" The old cowboy said with some confusion in his tone, "You know, with the alchemy formation I set up in the academy, even if the intruder is a second-generation species, Even if the Dragon King has not fully regained her power, I should be able to contain her."
"How long can you contain them? One year? Two years? Or ten years?"
Ange's tone remained calm, "We are old. This world cannot be defended by just two old guys who are about to be buried. What we need is young combat power."
"..."
The old cowboy was silent for another moment, and then sighed silently, "Okay, you may be right. I agree with your proposal for the time being, but you must also take care of your students. The little guys in this college are big Most of them are naive guys who have never experienced anything. Now they want me to be in Pandora's box... can they withstand the devil's temptation?"
