The water reservoir on the dome cracked with fine cracks, and water poured down from the sky like heavy rain. The water on the ground had already reached the ankles.
The cast iron pipes through which the current flowed were also burned into dark red by the high temperature.
When the water leaking from the dome touches these cast iron pipes that are burned into dark red, it will make a sizzling sound. The water will be evaporated by the high temperature, and layers of water vapor will rise. , permeating this space.
Su Xiaoqiang stood within Lu Mingfei's safety range.
She had just spoken to remind Lu Mingfei when she noticed shadows reflected in the water up to her ankles.
The water vapor that filled the space cast large shadows on the stagnant water.
At this moment, the shadows were twisting and moving irregularly, making it difficult to tell whether it was the movement of water mist or the creation of nature, like a group of evil spirits lurking in the shadows and dancing impromptuly.
They're twisted and crazy.
A cold atmosphere is filling the air.
Shadow is its bridge, night is its stage.
It moves through the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.
Lu Mingfei noticed the restlessness in the shadows, and slowly took a step back, falling next to Su Xiaoqiang.
Then, under his feet, circles of dark red flames spread like ripples.
The circle of flames passed by, and the water on the ground was instantly evaporated by the terrifying high temperature!
All the water mist in the air was swallowed up.
The originally damp and dark space immediately became bright and dry.
The shadows in this space are also compressed to the extreme.
When these shadows were quickly compressed, Tang Yufei suddenly made a horrified sound.
When Lu Mingfei looked up, he saw Tang Yufei, who was covered in burns, trying to get up.
However, when Tang Yufei struggled to get up, the shadow under his feet was lengthened.
Then, a dead branch-like arm stretched out from the elongated shadow under Tang Yufei's feet and grabbed his calf.
The sharp nails even sunk deeply into his flesh and blood, scratching out deep red streaks on his charred body and flooding his body with blood.
The severe pain made Tang Yufei's face look a little distorted.
The old palm like a dead branch dragged, and Tang Yufei immediately fell to the ground.
He tried to kick the hand that stretched out from the shadow, but the next moment, his grabbed leg was dragged into the shadow by that hand.
Tang Yufei struggled hard, but his struggle had no effect.
Even the leg he kicked out fell into the shadows.
From a distance, Tang Yufei looked as if a piece of his body had been broken off.
"no, do not want!"
"Help me, help me!"
There seemed to be great horror hidden in the shadows, like an abyss.
The abyss is densely populated with hungry evil spirits.
Tang Yufei screamed at Lu Mingfei with a frightened face, and asked for help from Su Xiaoqiang, "Help me, we are partners, we have business dealings, I can strengthen our cooperation, please!"
His face was filled with a strong look of fear, and he had long lost his previous high spirits.
His upper body was climbing vigorously on the ground, and his hands made scratches on the ground. Even his fingernails were scratched and his fingers looked like a lake of flesh and blood.
Fear overcame all reason in him.
But no matter how hard he struggled and climbed, his upper body could never climb out of the shadow area.
Instead, his body was dragged into the shadows bit by bit.
This scene is particularly terrifying.
Su Xiaoqiang's heart was beating fast.
Tang Yufei seemed to be dragged into hell by an evil ghost.
When Tang Yufei shouted, Zhao Xuelan's old head also emerged from the shadows.
She grabbed Tang Yufei with both hands and led Tang Yufei into the shadows.
When Zhao Xuelan appeared, Tang Yufei's frightened shouts were suddenly cut into intermittent and thin lines, making it impossible to hear clearly.
Su Xiaoqiang found that time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
And she was standing in a world where time almost stopped.
She had seen such ability before.
The first time she saw Lu Mingfei's ability was when she was targeted by a dangerous hybrid in Binhai.
"It will be over soon. I'll have someone take you back first." Lu Mingfei said, looking at Tang Yufei and Zhao Xuelan.
He found that Su Xiaoqiang's body temperature was a bit low. Perhaps she had caught a cold in the stagnant water before, which made her low-grade fever a bit more serious.
Even without deliberately searching, Lu Mingfei could feel the coldness on Su Xiaoqiang's body.
But despite being very unwell, the girl didn't try to interfere with his mission.
This girl is so strong.
She basically won't show weakness in front of others.
Therefore, Lu Mingfei wanted to solve the problem quickly and let the girl rest early.
In the mixed race world, many people are afraid of Angers and his Time Zero.
Angers' Time Zero dominated the entire mixed-race world for a full hundred years.
And in Lu Mingfei's hands, this word spirit has surpassed Ange.
In the realm of time zero, Tang Yufei and Zhao Xuelan were like two still people.
It is not difficult for Lu Mingfei to deal with enemies in the time zero area.
Even if Zhao Xuelan can hide in the shadows.
But before time zero, she didn't have enough time.
As soon as Lu Mingfei finished speaking, his hand was grabbed by Su Xiaoqiang.
Lu Mingfei looked back at Su Xiaoqiang, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, "What?"
Su Xiaoqiang looked at Zhao Xuelan's originally kind face, but at this moment it was distorted by hatred. After thinking about it, he said softly, "Lu Mingfei, do you have something to do with all your strength, even if it means risking your life?"
She looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes, "You must have it too, right?"
On that rainy night, when Lu Mingfei hypnotized Chen Wenwen, she had seen his determination in Lu Mingfei's eyes.
At that time, Su Xiaoqiang knew that this boy must have many, many things that he must do.
Just like the kind grandma she once was.
When Lu Mingfei heard this, he looked at Zhao Xuelan and fell silent.
Does he have it?
He has.
"You are always so smart." Lu Mingfei said softly.
After his words fell, time began to pass again.
Tang Yufei's horrified voice echoed in the space.
The indifferent Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei made him completely despair.
Like a wailing beast giving a desperate blow, he murmured in his mouth, chanting an ancient and obscure language, and the lightning intertwined into an electric grid around him.
However, Zhao Xuelan, who poked out from the shadows, was even crazier than him.
"I have been looking for you for thirteen years, give me back Lan Lan!" She yelled, growling filial piety, with a fierce and ferocious look, she opened her arms and hugged Tang Yufei, who was surrounded by thunder.
The terrifying thunder brought out streaks of fire in her withered and old body, as if it was going to ignite her and burn her to ashes.
But even so, Zhao Xuelan did not let go.
Instead, he hugged Tang Yufei and sank into the shadows with him!
As Tang Yufei and Zhao Xuelan sank into the shadows, the lightning in this space disappeared, and the cold atmosphere was also dissipated.
Neither Su Xiaoqiang nor Lu Mingfei left, they stood here for a moment.
After a while, the shadow in the corner began to twist, and Zhao Xuelan's figure walked out of the shadow.
She looked very miserable.
The gray hair was stained with large amounts of blood, and the old body also had varying degrees of burns.
She came out.
Tang Yufei, however, remained in the shadows forever.
Plop.
After her old body came out of the shadows, she fell to the ground as if she was overwhelmed.
She panted violently, leaned her exhausted body against the wall, and looked at Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei noticed that there was a hint of loneliness in her gaze.
It's like after a great revenge is avenged, you suddenly lose your goal and become confused.
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity." Zhao Xuelan leaned against the wall and said to Lu Mingfei.
Zhao Xuelan didn’t know what kind of organization Kassel was.
But there is no doubt that she cannot fight it alone.
She knew this day would come sooner or later, but she had no regrets.
She just regrets that there are still many people she has not been able to dig out.
"You don't need to thank me, you should be thanking her." Lu Mingfei glanced at Su Xiaoqiang.
Zhao Xuelan was slightly stunned, her eyes fell on Su Xiaoqiang who was standing quietly, her lips opened, but she didn't know what to say for a moment.
She fell silent, her eyes slightly lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.
It just seemed like all the strength in his body was suddenly drained away.
It is not so difficult to understand that one is lost on this dark road.
Whether it's a human or a dragon.
Su Xiaoqiang looked at the old man quietly.
She is very old.
Over the years, her aging body must have become exhausted.
Whenever she sits under the old locust tree in the yard and thinks about the past, her memory may have been broken and incomplete.
Under the erosion and torture of dragon blood, what supported her to this day may be the increasingly strong and twisted fire of hatred in her heart.
"grandmother."
Su Xiaoqiang stepped forward and squatted down in front of Zhao Xuelan.
Hearing Su Xiaoqiang calling her, Zhao Xuelan raised her head and looked at the girl in front of her, her body trembling slightly.
She looked at Su Xiaoqiang and whispered, "My child, grandma has no choice."
"Grandma is afraid that he will run away."
"Grandma had to do it."
Her voice was filled with guilt, "But if grandma had to choose again, she would still do it."
"You can hate me, scold me, hit me, whatever."
"Son, I'm sorry."
"Grandma, I just want to avenge Lan Lan and get back Lan Lan's heart."
"They... took away Lan Lan's heart." Whenever Zhao Xuelan thought of this incident, her eyes could not help but turn red with tears.
"Obviously, it was just a simple operation for Lan Lan. Why did they take away Lan Lan's heart?" The old man's body was trembling.
Su Xiaoqiang gently patted the back of her hand, "Grandma, stop talking."
Su Xiaoqiang may have understood.
She remembered the story the old man told under the old locust tree in the yard.
A story about her granddaughter.
There is a long, long section behind that story.
A story about her granddaughter who had her heart taken away during an operation and transplanted into the body of a noble person.
But before, the old man only told her the first half of the story.
"Yeah, no more talking, it's over." The old man said softly, took Su Xiaoqiang's hand, took out an old key from his arms and put it in Su Xiaoqiang's hand.
Install the latest version. 】
"My child, human life is very short for hybrids."
"Once you go down this path, there's no turning back."
"Grandma doesn't want you to go down this road."
"Do you like him?" The old man's voice was very soft, and she glanced at Lu Mingfei in the distance.
Su Xiaoqiang was silent.
"My child, you can't hide it from grandma." The old man looked into Su Xiaoqiang's eyes, "My child, have you ever thought about what you would do if you were as old as grandma after decades and the other person was still in the prime of life? What to do?"
Hearing this, Su Xiaoqiang's penis trembled obviously.
"Child, grandma doesn't want you to be like grandma." The old man said softly.
What happens to mixed-bloods when they grow old is not good.
The old man asked Su Xiaoqiang to hold the key tightly, "But if you really want to go this way, you can only be like us."
"Child, think about it after you go back."
"The things are in the secret compartment of the third drawer in my room."
"When you think about it clearly, if you want to take this road, this is what grandma left for you."
"If you don't want to be part of this dirty world, throw away the key."
Su Xiaoqiang looked at the key in her hand, "Grandma, what about you?"
"I... am already tired." The old man said, letting go of Su Xiaoqiang, and then slowly disappeared into the shadows.
"People like grandma can't have a good outcome." She said softly. Before she completely degenerated into Deadpool, she chose to die in the shadows.
She became an evil spirit.
Evil ghosts should stay with evil ghosts, stay in the dark abyss, and be buried in the endless darkness.
Su Xiaoqiang looked at the old man sinking into the shadow, watched the twisted shadow disappear, and remained silent.
"It's over." Lu Mingfei stepped forward and said softly.
"Yes, it's over." Su Xiaoqiang clenched the key in his hand, but felt that the key in his hand seemed as heavy as a ton.
"Are you okay?" Lu Mingfei asked, "I'll have someone take you back first, and I'll deal with the follow-up first."
"I have no problem." Su Xiaoqiang said.
"Stop being so brave. Look, your body is so cold that you're shaking." Lu Mingfei interrupted her, took off his suit and put it on her body, and then without any explanation, asked someone to send Su Xiaoqiang away first. Go back and rest.
...
...
"Did you find the answer you were looking for?" Xia Mi asked calmly on the iron overpass, clasping his hands behind his back, looking at Su Xiaoqiang's disappearing back.
At her feet, the auctioneer wearing a bone mask collapsed on the ground, as if he had been greatly frightened, and his body was shaking.
The enlarged child hole has no focus at all.
Next to Xia Mi, Chen Wenwen's eyes fell on the back of the boy below, her mouth slightly opened, but she couldn't say a word.
What to say?
Chen Wenwen doesn't know.
She just looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure quietly, feeling sad.
The Miaohu face in the dream gradually overlapped with that of the boy at this moment.
The shackles that bound the memory had already broken when the waterspout rolled up.
She remembered.
In that dream, she was not running for her life.
It was Su Xiaoqiang who took her and ran away without her life.
Even though Su Xiaoqiang was scared to death, he still didn't abandon her.
It was the boy who had frozen the whole world and stretched out his hand towards her.
Even now, Chen Wenwen can still feel that hand, so warm and safe.
And the heavy rain that seemed to never stop.
That viaduct is like hell.
The truth she pursues is the entrance to darkness.
Heavy rain, elevated, densely packed dragon-shaped Deadpool.
"I...remembered." Chen Wenwen put her hand on her heart, with tears in her eyes. Her heart seemed to be blocked and it hurt. "I have died once."
She once told Su Xiaoqiang that she felt like she had died once.
Yes, she really died once.
It was the boy who saved her.
That heavy rain wiped out her life.
But the boy told her not to die.
He carried her out of hell.
But she forgot about him.
twice.
She held the book tightly, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
She was sad.
She didn't know what to feel sad about.
After the shackles of memory broke, looking at the boy's back, her heart ached for no reason.
"Chen Wenwen, now do you know what you want?" Xia Mi asked, staring at Lu Mingfei's back.
Being stared at by Xia Mi, Lu Mingfei's eyelids twitched sharply. He felt a sting on the back of his neck for no reason, and couldn't help but turn around and look behind him.
Lu Mingfei turned around and saw Xia Mi.
That girl is always so bright, it's hard not to notice.
The moment he saw Xia Mi, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel guilty.
Then, Lu Mingfei noticed Chen Wenwen next to Xia Mi.
Lu Mingfei was stunned.
He looked at Chen Wenwen and asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Didn't you go back to school?"
Chen Wenwen did not answer Lu Mingfei.
Listening to Lu Mingfei's words, she just felt very sad.
As if his body was out of control, he got off the iron bridge and walked towards Lu Mingfei, crying as he walked.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused and looked at Chen Wenwen walking towards him with some worry.
Chen Wenwen didn't finish her words, she just came to lead the way to Mingfei and hugged him gently.
Lu Mingfei was stunned, looked up at Xia Mi on the iron bridge, and then looked down at Chen Wenwen who was holding him, with a confused look on his face.
What is this?
"What's wrong? Don't cry, don't cry, you're going to cry." Lu Mingfei was a little confused, but he didn't know what to do.
But the more Lu Mingfei talked, the more sad Chen Wenwen became.
This boy is like the brightest fire in the dark night.
He is just like Xia Mi said, like a beacon at night, making people feel safe and warm.
Once upon a time, a long time ago, she had such fire.
He lit up for her, waiting for her to discover.
But in the end she turned a blind eye to such a bright fire and pushed him away with her own hands.
At that time, the boy's eyes were always so cautious and evasive when he looked at her, but she felt a little proud in her heart.
If she could respond to his eyes and expectations at that time, even a little bit, wouldn't she be so sad?
At that time, the boy must have been very sad and disappointed, right?
"Lu Mingfei." Chen Wenwen gently hugged Lu Mingfei and put her head on his chest.
"Yeah." Lu Mingfei said softly. He didn't know what to say or what happened.
"I'm sorry." Chen Wenwen said.
"Ah?" Lu Mingfei didn't react and was stunned, "Why are you saying sorry?"
"Thank you." Chen Wenwen let go of Lu Mingfei, looked at him and said seriously, then turned and walked out, tears rolling down uncontrollably.
Rabindranath Tagore said that if you cry for the loss of the sun, you will also lose the stars.
But tonight there is no sun and no stars.
She didn't want to cry either.
But it’s really sad.
Lu Mingfei looked at Chen Wenwen's leaving back and was about to catch up when he saw Eriyi, who was supposed to be on duty outside, lightly jumping down from the dome, pulling out the cherry red sword in her hand, and staring at him curiously. Asked, "Brother, who is that girl?"
ps: Happy birthday to Hui Liyi, who is 31 years old and zero is 45 years old (>_<)
