Lead-colored clouds covered the sky above Shilan Middle School, and streaks of thunder rolled in the clouds like dragons and snakes.
Torrential rain poured down, and the entire Binhai City was shrouded in a curtain of rain.
Lu Mingfei stood in front of the corridor with his schoolbag, watching his classmates being picked up by their parents one after another and disappearing into the rain.
Gradually, the noise around him slowly disappeared.
The space around him that should have been crowded gradually became empty as the students left school.
He had experienced such rainy days many times.
The parents he had hoped for never came to pick him up.
On many rainy days like this, he would always rush into the heavy rain alone with his schoolbag on his head.
He should have been used to rainy days like this.
He's always been like this.
Any touch on a rainy day is always so familiar to him.
The coolness of the rain on the body, the breath in the wind, and the heartbeat in the rain all seem to follow a familiar melody and rhythm.
How to run around under trees and under eaves to avoid getting wet.
He knew exactly how to get home in the shortest time and what route to take.
He already knew the route home by heart.
He once again stood in this familiar corridor, facing this familiar rainy day.
He was supposed to be running into the rainstorm with his schoolbag on his head as usual.
But this time, he didn't.
Lu Mingfei knew that this time, he would not be able to go home.
Because he remembers everything.
He stood quietly in the corridor, standing where he once stood, looking at the rain curtain in front of him.
In the rain curtain, there is a person standing.
The other party was wearing a neat and clean black suit, an exquisite bow tie, and held a black folding umbrella in his hand.
The raindrops fell along the umbrella ribs into rain curtains.
The umbrella curtain was slightly raised, and the thin bangs inside the umbrella were seen swaying with the wind and rain.
The bangs swayed, revealing the golden pupils hidden in them.
Those golden eyes were as clear as burning golden glass.
Lu Mingfei saw the face that he had once rejected and feared.
That's another him.
He once thought he had killed the other person deep inside.
"I said, we will meet again. Now, it's time to make a decision." The other party's voice was cold, unfeeling, without a trace of warmth, like the coldest ice.
"Make a choice and face yourself. Only I can get you out of trouble and save our stupid brother." Lu Mingfei in a black suit was always so direct.
He has been waiting here for a long time.
He knew that sooner or later such a day would come.
"You seem a little unhappy when you see me?" Lu Mingfei, in a black suit, held an umbrella and looked at himself in the corridor in the rain, with a hint of ridicule on his lips, "Do you still have a choice?"
"There was a time when you could run into the rain with your schoolbag on your head, leave everything behind, and hide in the world you created without worrying about anything."
"Now, do you still want to hide?"
"Lu Mingfei, you have nowhere to hide."
Lu Mingfei, in a black suit, slowly raised his hand, reached into the rain curtain, and said to himself in the corridor, "You've had enough fun, come back."
Lu Mingfei looked at the hand reaching out to him and remained silent.
Lu Mingfei knew that as long as he held that hand, he would have the ability to solve all of this and solve all the problems caused by the World Tree.
However, Lu Mingfei also knew that once he held that hand, everything would disappear.
His hatred and anger will be vented to everyone without distinction.
No matter who it is, they have benefited from the scattering of the World Tree's authority.
From the moment the World Tree collapsed, it was a betrayal of him.
Those living creatures, whether humans or dragons, benefit directly or indirectly.
He has no sympathy for any living creature.
The hatred for thousands of years has been suppressed for too long.
"I am me, you are you." Lu Mingfei lowered his eyes and stood quietly in the corridor, turning a blind eye to the palm waiting for him.
"What I have experienced, no matter how imperfect it is, is my life." Lu Mingfei said, "I don't want to become a monster covered only in hatred."
"But you have no choice." Lu Mingfei in a black suit looked at him, his pupils were like burning glass, as if he was going to ignite the air.
"My authority is constantly disappearing and being taken back by the Mother Tree." Lu Mingfei in black suit said, "You have no time. When all our authority is taken back by the Mother Tree, everything you care about will no longer exist. "
"Those who love you, those you love, will die with the disappearance of authority." Lu Mingfei in a black suit seemed to be a devil that bewitched people, "Come back, for everything you have experienced, I can save us Everyone I’ve ever loved.”
Lu Mingfei shook his head.
He looked at the rain that seemed to never stop, and suddenly missed Lu Mingze a little, "Do you know, whenever I was sad or desperate, there was always someone who appeared in front of me like you today, giving me I bring hope."
"I know he has evil intentions towards me and that he has his own plans, but the conditions he puts forward are always something I can't refuse."
"I always told myself that this was the last time I promised him, because he is a devil, a devil from the abyss, a devil who deceives people's hearts."
"How can a human be able to withstand the temptation of the devil?"
"So for a long time, I was always afraid of seeing him, because to me, every time he appeared, it meant that I was going through a terrible disaster."
"Every time he appears, it always means that I will lose something, so for a long time, I was afraid of seeing him again."
Lu Mingfei looked at the black suit with a sad face, "The devil who keeps bewitching me is the stupid brother you call me."
Now, he had already fallen to the ground covered with bruises, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
"Huh? My stupid brother is becoming more and more kind." The black suit said noncommittally, "But now, our stupid brother can no longer come to see you, nor can he help you."
"Now, the only one who can help you is yourself." The black suit looked at Lu Mingfei with cold eyes, and his voice echoed in the rain, "Lu Mingfei, you have no time!"
"You can accept stupid brother's conditions again and again, why can't you accept mine? Can't you accept your own?"
The rain began to fall, and the sky began to collapse, and golden branches spread across the sky like fishing nets.
As the authority continued to pass away and was taken back by the mother tree, Lu Mingfei's spiritual world began to collapse.
Once the world completely collapses, all of Lu Mingfei's power will be taken back.
What will become by then, no one knows.
Facing the roar in the black suit, Lu Mingfei smiled.
"They are both devils, but compared to you, the devil Lu Mingze's service is better. He can always give customers the most considerate service. He can always let customers achieve their goals first and then collect rewards. Can you do that?"
"If you can, I can promise you."
Lu Mingfei's smile was a little sad, "But you can't!"
"You just need to devour me!"
"You can't give me anything at all!"
“I would rather it all end than ruin it all with my own hands!
This is why he came back, this is why he is here.
"Also, when Lu Mingze came to see me, he would never let me get wet in the rain. He would also throw away the umbrella in his hand and join me in the rain!"
boom!
The expression in the black suit became ferocious, and he punched Lu Mingfei in the face.
Lu Mingfei stumbled and fell into the rain.
"What exactly do you need to do before you are willing to come back?" The black suit was furious, pressing on Lu Mingfei's body, grabbing his collar and roaring.
"Think about it, the person you care about is going to die, and everything you have done will be lost. Is it worth it?"
The rain soaked the two of them like two mad dogs biting each other.
"Then what can I do? Why should I help you and not you?" Lu Mingfei kicked the black suit in the stomach and kicked him away, "I'm the only one who's easy to bully, right? That's right. , I used to be afraid of many things, or even dare to speak.”
"But so what, now, I just want to fulfill myself!"
For himself and for those he loves.
The black suit pounced on Lu Mingfei again, and the two struggled with each other.
"You have no ability. You can only avoid it. Everything you do is so ridiculous and childish. Why do you have this power?"
"You don't deserve it, you don't deserve to be king, you don't deserve to have this right!"
"You have the right to use this right, but you don't have the heart that this right should have!"
"Only I am the real owner!"
"You still retain the heart of a human being. Why should you be a person like you!"
As the world collapsed step by step, the black suit became ferocious, biting Lu Mingfei's neck, tearing it apart with force, tearing out a large mouthful of flesh and blood.
Then bright red blood poured out from Lu Mingfei's wound, suddenly turning the water under his body red.
"Mine, everything you have belongs to me, I want to take back everything that belongs to me!"
The black suit went completely crazy, biting Lu Mingfei bit by bit, trying to devour Lu Mingfei bit by bit.
The blood dyed the black suit into a real demon.
Lu Mingfei lay down in the dark red water, looking at the gradually collapsing sky, looking at the intertwined golden branches, looking at the world slowly disappearing, but his heart was surprisingly calm.
The ferocious demon roared in the rain, venting his unwillingness and anger.
The quiet boy lay quietly in the stagnant water, as if he had become one with the world and became a part of it.
"Why? Why!" The man in a black suit with a bloody face asked Lu Mingfei, "No one cares about you now, why do you still fight so hard to protect them?"
"Those who have been deprived of their authority are dying, and those who are alive, those you care about, never think of you at this moment?"
"Last time, some people from Eriki Uesugi came to you to guide you. This time, they are all dead. No one will come to you again. No one can find the direction for you when you are lost!"
"Even the most important senior sister you were once has already forgotten you at this moment."
"Lu Mingfei, is all this really worth it?"
"What did you gain by risking your life and death here?"
"Lu Mingfei, wake up! It's over, everything is over! Let me take the lead, and I will take back everything you care about!"
"Everything belongs to you. Whichever woman you like, I can snatch it back for you. We can do anything!"
The roar of the black suit filled his ears.
Lu Mingfei didn't seem to hear.
His eyes fell back to the school from the shattered and collapsed sky, and landed on the big characters hanging on the wall of Shilan Middle School. He smiled silently as he recalled the path he had taken.
His heart turned out to be barren, but it was enriched by the roads he walked and the people he met.
Doesn't anyone care?
maybe.
But at least he did everything he wanted to do.
Lu Mingfei's vision began to become blurry.
Suddenly a warm rain fell from the sky.
The rain looked a little bright.
The bright red color is not as cold as rain, but has a hint of warmth.
The red rain fell on his body and soaked into his body, bringing wisps of warmth to his cold body.
The roar in the black suit in his ears stopped at some point.
An umbrella appeared in Lu Mingfei's blurred vision and stopped beside him, blocking him from the heavy rain falling from the sky.
Where did you get the umbrella?
Has the black suit figured it out?
Lu Mingfei tried hard to open his eyes to make his vision clear.
What caught his eye was not the annoying face in the black suit, but a strand of light golden curly hair.
Then, there was a familiar face.
The face looked very pale and bloodless, and was dotted with some fine scales, which made it look a little different and charming.
That's the characteristic of Deadpool.
That was Su Xiaoqiang's face.
Seeing Su Xiaoqiang, Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.
"I came to find you because I was afraid you would get lost." Su Xiaoqiang said.
It was obviously a distance of half the world, and there was still the bitterness and hardship between the present world and the Nibelungen. This was almost impossible for an ordinary person, but she spoke so calmly and naturally.
It’s as simple as going to the next door house on the weekends.
"Send you home?" Su Xiaoqiang stretched out her hand to Lu Mingfei, just like she once asked Lu Mingfei if he wanted to send him home.
Lu Mingfei held Su Xiaoqiang's hand, just like he held Su Xiaoqiang and pulled her up on that rainy night when Su Xiaoqiang was chased by the fallen hybrid.
But at that time, Su Xiaoqiang was trembling with fear, fear and lingering fear.
And now Su Xiaoqiang is no longer the girl who is too scared to control herself.
Her quest forces her to become stronger than she ever thought possible.
But he also paid a due price for this, the price of burning his life.
She said she hated this sense of degradation and this ugly appearance.
In the end, she became what she once said was disgusting.
"Okay." Lu Mingfei said.
Su Xiaoqiang held an umbrella and helped Lu Mingfei, who was covered in blood, towards the school gate.
The man in the black suit looked at the two people drifting away in the rain, sitting alone in the pool of water, and laughed mockingly.
He didn't know whether he was mocking Lu Mingfei or himself.
The rain hit him, washing away the blood on his body and the blood on the ground.
His figure began to become illusory and disappeared bit by bit.
"Is this why you keep insisting?"
"What a ridiculous reason. You can never become a real king. You don't have the consciousness to become a king!"
The black suit let out a final unwilling roar and disappeared completely.
With the disappearance of the black suit, the world stopped collapsing, and power returned to Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei, who was riddled with wounds, healed quickly.
The rain was still falling, but neither Lu Mingfei nor Su Xiaoqiang spoke.
Su Xiaoqiang held an umbrella, and Lu Mingfei just followed her, walking towards the way they came. (End of chapter)
