"Do you still remember the letter that Caesar entrusted you to give me?" Facing the confused Xia Mi, Chu Zihang asked expressionlessly.
"Remember, the content inside is...a string of numbers with unknown meaning?" Xia Mi's attention was on the gradually falling photo, but he still subconsciously answered Chu Zihang's question.
"That's not a simple number..."
Chu Zihang shook his head slightly, "Those are the coordinates of several earthquake locations I was investigating at the time."
"Of course I know it's the coordinates, but there's nothing noteworthy about the locations named by these coordinates, right?"
Xia Mi asked with a sneer.
She naturally read the contents of the letter before handing it to Chu Zihang.
"You have indeed seen it."
Chu Zihang said coldly, "But this is what Nono expected. The reason why she chose to use such a roundabout way to pass on the information she got from the company to me is that she has almost confirmed that you has a problem.
And I... felt the same way when I saw this photo. "
"This is……"
Xia Mi looked at the photo falling in front of him in surprise.
In the photo, she was cheering in her school uniform, but the school uniform was not from Kassel College, but... Shilan High School.
On the basketball court in the corner of the photo, there was another figure flashing across the scene. Although it was a blur, it was impossible for Chu Zihang to admit his mistake.
Because that's who he is.
"Connecting all the coordinates together will produce a new coordinate."
Chu Zihang explained calmly.
"Before it got dark before I started investigating, I went to this coordinate, which is a post station accessible from anywhere.
After seeing what I said, the contact person gave me this photo. "
As he expected, the preparatory classes offered by Kassel College in China were already under the control of the company.
The result is that every person who enters the preparatory class will be thoroughly investigated by the company.
With the company's capabilities, it can retrieve surveillance data from all over the country, and even retrieve people's data recorded in the cloud disk when necessary.
As long as people exist, they will leave traces.
No matter how Xia Mi minimizes his existence, he cannot escape the company's surveillance in the end.
Chu Zihang was very sure that it stands to reason that as long as he had seen a dazzling girl like Xia Mi, he would be impressed by her.
But this girl does not exist in his memory.
This is the crux of the whole issue.
"The recording time of this photo happened to be the time after I was involved in the Nibelungs." Chu Zihang analyzed calmly, "You started paying attention to me from that time, right? But later you I don't know why I got myself out of people's plans.
Not just me, Lu Mingfei, but everyone at Shilan High School has no impression of your existence.
The guy with this kind of ability...can't be human.
Or...do you have any other explanation for disappearing from my memory? "
That's why Chu Zihang thought this was a well-planned prank.
This dragon king appeared after that rainy night and observed him for a while.
He must also know everything that happened on that rainy night.
And everything that happened just now... was based on the reappearance of that time.
"I see... No more. What a wonderful deduction, classmate Chu Conan." There was a hint of helplessness in Xia Mi's tone.
After all...did he still lose to the guys from the company?
She didn't expect that she had come into the company's sight so early.
Fortunately, she still thought that she hid it well.
As the Dragon King, Xia Mi does have the ability to erase his own existence from people's memories. He can even use the word spirit "Tianyan" to learn hacking techniques to delete records about himself from the Internet.
But only touch
It cannot touch the most stringent defense in this land.
That is the company's firewall, and it is also the firewall of the entire country. It is home to a group of hackers who can bring the Pentagon to a standstill at the touch of a finger.
If it is purely used for defense and does nothing else, then the firewall built by them will be impeccable. Even a supercomputer like Norma will be unable to do anything unless... they let go.
"It's a pity that I'm not the one you're looking for..."
Xia Mi's tone became extremely cold, and the expression on his face was no longer as lively and cute as usual, but instead contained a chilling murderous intent.
The fine dragon scales that seemed to be flowing with iridescent light began to spread along the skin exposed at the collar towards the neck, making the cheeks that were originally beautiful like works of art become enchanting.
"But are you satisfied with the performance just now?"
"..."
Facing Xia Mi's question, Chu Zihang was silent for a moment, then slowly lowered his figure, raised the "Rage" in his hand, and assumed an offensive stance.
"This is 'fury', and it's just rage. "
"What did you say...?" Xia Mi seemed unable to understand the words of the young man in front of him.
"Although I am indeed very angry, thanks to you allowing me to deeply recall the scene of that year, I can be more determined on the path I want to take."
Chu Zihang replied calmly, "It doesn't matter even if you are not that guy. Since I can find you, then... I can also find that guy just like I found you."
"Hey, hey, hey..." Xia Mi seemed to be amused.
A sudden strong wind swept through her, lifting her whole body and suspending it in mid-air.
Her eyes were cold and she looked down at the young man in front of her like a god looking down at an ant.
"It seems that there is still one thing you haven't passed through the scene just now. Looking back..."
"What?" Chu Zihang asked with a slight frown.
Did I miss any important clues about my father?
""fear". "
Xia Mi responded indifferently.
"You forgot about fear. Good memories will always stay in our hearts, while bad memories will stay in our hearts forever. Just like the fear of the past emerges in the dark night, even if you close your eyes, you can't escape "fear"! Have you... forgotten how embarrassed you were when you faced "God"? How incompetent! ? "
"Indeed... very embarrassing..."
As Chu Zihang spoke, the surrounding air seemed to become hotter.
"But... you might be mistaken. That's not 'fear'. Thanks to you, I can see clearly..."
He recalled the scene just now, where he seemed to be looking at his past self across time and space.
"Have you really observed me carefully? If you have... you should know that it was... me back then. Such a embarrassed posture did not reflect any fear!
That's cowardice...
Just trying to escape, full of regret and cowardice! "
The fire spread on "Rage", and as the dragon's blood boiled in Chu Zihang's body, the knife seemed to be awakened.
The flames seemed to have recast it, and its blade continued to lengthen as the flames spread, even surpassing Chu Zihang's height.
At this moment, the furious blade has reached an astonishing 1.8 meters. The roaring flames between the swings are like a giant dragon raising its head, and the sound of howling wind is like the roar of a dragon.
"And now - I have long since abandoned this emotion."
Chu Zihang stared at the monarch who looked down on him with burning eyes, just like the fearless man who looked up at the gods when he charged. There was no fear or cowardice in his eyes at this moment!
Like a swordsman, he pointed the sword of judgment in his hand in the direction of the target in the sky: "Say your name, King of the Earth and Mountains!"
············
"Is this...the dealer?"
A dim light was cast on the top of the carriage, and an old gaming table was placed at the end of the last carriage. Opposite the table sat a human figure covered in brown linen.
Under Lu Mingfei's confusion, the croupier slowly raised his face.
Lu Mingfei felt that this guy did have the temperament of a boss.
He had seen such a creature in the ancient books in the academy library - the sickle weasel.
The Yanling Kamamaita is named after this creature.
Ancient books record that the Kamaita is a gregarious creature. The normal Kamaita is very small. To be precise, this one should be the Kamaita Queen. The group structure of this creature is like that of ants. One queen controls many males. Kamitachi works for her, and these Kamitachi are her eyes.
Don't ask Lu Mingfei why he is interested in this kind of thing.
He just couldn't read books that were full of dense text. Books with pictures like this were fine, so he just read them. As for the deeper reason.
Probably he was trying to imagine that Caesar was a female weasel.
Ahem, that’s too far off topic.
In short, Queen Itachi seems to be quite good as the boss at the end of the level, at least her appearance is quite attractive.
She has nine heads. At this moment, these heads are twisting left and right, and the nine cervical vertebrae are curved like the spine of a snake. The eyes on her head look at the people who are coming to this car with a look that makes people unable to see their emotions. .
"Don't be afraid, the dealer won't hurt anyone." Seeing Lu Mingfei's surprise, Gao Mi explained, "As I said just now, even if you attack it, it won't fight back, because it doesn't seem to take us seriously at all. inside."
"Who said I'm scared? It's a small scene."
Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes and swaggered to the gambling table and sat down.
What he said was of course the truth. Compared to the Dragon King, this thing in front of him was much cuter.
He was just a little confused when he saw this thing.
It seems different from what he imagined?
He had just guessed whether the one guarding the bottom of the barrier might be the Dragon King.
After all, talking about "loneliness" is a topic exclusive to creatures with dragon blood.
Everyone has "Blood Sorrow", and the most profound one is naturally the Dragon King himself.
Just imagine, the monarch who reigns over the world sits on the throne and looks around. Apart from the withered bones that made the throne, he has only his twins to accompany him for countless years. How lonely it must be...
But it's far worse than myself.
Lu Mingfei thought that he was an orphan, not even a compatriot.
So...how to lose this game?
"How to start? Where is my bet?"
After serving the table, Lu Mingfei asked the people around him.
"..."
No one answered him, because the dealer's nine skulls were already working separately.
It observed every guest present, and then threw the corresponding number of chips in front of each of these people without knowing what standard it should be.
In front of Gao Mi were dozens of dark gold coins, as was Wan Boqian.
In front of Zhao Menghua, in addition to the coins, there is an aluminum-cased compass.
Chen Duo and Liu Wukui both had very few coins in front of them, only a dozen or so coins each. Because they feel quite good now in the new department, and their colleagues are very kind to them.
But fewer chips meant fewer opportunities, so they tried many times but failed to win all the dealer's chips. Basically, they were out after a few rounds every time.
The chip that fell in front of Lu Mingfei was an iron bottle cap.
"No way? Just one? Is it because I'm new here and haven't experienced the feeling of loneliness like you guys?"
Lu Mingfei picked up the bottle cap in front of him and looked at it.
The bottle cap has the words "Arctic Ocean" printed on it. This is a very old orange soda bottle cap, produced in Beijing. It used to be as popular as Coke, but later it could only be regarded as a niche drink.
However, with the development of the times, like a reincarnation, it will gradually become the so-called
The meaning of "Internet celebrity trend". Just like people used to wear ripped pants now people like to wear them too.
"hehe……"
"You are wrong..." Gao Mi looked at Lu Mingfei with dull eyes.
Judging from this guy's appearance of a young man, he really didn't realize that he could be so lonely.
"Here the "Arctic Ocean" bottle caps are the most valuable chips, each one is equivalent to a thousand dark gold coins. "
As he said that, he pointed to the compass in front of Zhao Menghua, "The aluminum shell compass is only worth a hundred coins. This is because the dealer is afraid that there are too many coins and it will be difficult to stack them, so he gave you the one with a larger face value. If you want to change it, You can throw the bottle cap back."
"oh."
Lu Mingfei responded with a sudden realization, and then threw the coin in his hand towards the croupier's skull without thinking.
One of the skulls of the Queen Weasel opened to catch it, then she stretched her neck in front of Lu Mingfei and spit out a lot of dark golden chips.
"If the dealer wants to win against me... it will take a lot of effort, right?"
Lu Mingfei complained with a smile.
As long as he doesn't have the idea of stud, even if he loses every hand, it will be enough to grind with the dealer for a while.
Seeing this, hope lit up in the eyes of Gao Mi, Wan Boqian and Zhao Menghua.
Of course they were envious that Lu Mingfei had so many chips.
The road god is a god, and he can even cheat on this kind of thing.
But this doesn’t seem to be a good thing…
Because the more chips, the more lonely you are.
Therefore, several people looked at Lu Mingfei and felt a little pitiful unconsciously.
What evil happened to this unfortunate child?
Soon, as the croupier began to deal the cards, the atmosphere at the gambling table became solemn, and everyone stopped talking.
Of course, there are also people who act relaxed.
Chen Duo and Liu Wukui, they don't seem to be in a hurry to leave here.
There is also Lu Mingfei.
It's not that he doesn't want to leave, it's just that there's no point in being anxious.
Playing cards is not a game he is good at. After all, he has said that he is not good at math.
But the way to beat the game is not just to pass the level honestly.
"Sanjo."
He was playing cards as if nothing had happened, while observing the dealer on the opposite side, looking for a way to break the situation.
