Gu Bei took advantage of him, but Chu Zihang was not in the mood to argue with him, and instead helped the unconscious Chu Tianjiao to the sofa.
He acted much calmer than Gu Bei thought. At least Gu Bei told him not to be afraid. He really wasn't afraid.
Yes, how can you be afraid? This is one of the people who loves him the most in this world.
He didn't hold Chu Tianjiao's body and cry bitterly or laugh wildly. He just curled the corners of his mouth slightly, showing his joyful mood.
In fact, Chu Zihang himself was not as relaxed as he showed.
The first time he saw the man, Chu Zihang recognized the man's face that would always be engraved in his memory. Even if there was no trace of the man left in the world, he would always remember this face. An average face.
The man used to always have a cynical expression on his face, as if he never took anything to heart.
But actually he remembers everything.
He remembers his son's favorite food and his wife's favorite songs. He knows everything about them, but he never gets close to them.
Because he is a mixed race.
He gave away all his tenderness, but had to stay away from them. He could only watch from a distance as the people he loved lived happily until death.
Chu Zihang still remembered what the man said. He said: "If I die, then the only thing I will leave in this world is you. If you die too, I will have nothing in this world."
He also said: "Son, believe me, dad. Only if you survive can we see each other again!"
Chu Zihang remembered these words, every word, every action, every expression. Every night in the past few years, he had to recall the entire process of this incident before falling asleep.
Because he is the only one in the world who still remembers this man. If he also forgets, or even has a slightly vague memory, it will probably be like this man has never been in this world.
In fact, Chu Zihang always thought that what the man said at that time was just to let him leave and let him live until...
Now.
This face that had been recalled countless times in my memory appeared in front of me again.
"Goodbye...Dad..."
Chu Zihang looked at the unconscious man and said.
"Where did you find him?"
Although Chu Zihang roughly guessed something when he saw the armor on Chu Tianjiao, he still did not draw any conclusions without authorization. Instead, he turned to look at Gu Bei and asked.
Gu Bei scratched the back of his head: "Well...how should I put it...I feel like you might not be able to accept it..."
That's right. Anyone who knows that the enemy he has been chasing for many years and his father who was killed by the enemy will probably not be able to accept it.
Even Gu Bei, a psychopath, felt that the plot was too bloody.
"Speak first." Chu Zihang's voice was calm.
"...Okay." Gu Bei sorted out his words and was about to start from the beginning, but suddenly felt something was wrong, "Be careful!"
Chu Zihang also sensed something was wrong and pulled out the knife from his waist while turning around.
It's not Murasame, it's just an unedged piece of iron, a QQ prop used to match the translucent blue kimono on his body.
But in Chu Zihang's hands, this thing was no different from a real sword.
The sword suddenly appeared, and with a "dang" sound, Chu Zihang blocked the attack.
Looking closely, the person who launched the attack turned out to be Chu Tianjiao, who was unconscious just now!
He was now fully awake. An arm wearing an armband pressed on the knife that Chu Zihang had set up, pressing the prop knife used for performance into a breathtaking arc.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Tianjiao's body bounced up in a posture that made Newton lift the coffin board, and his other hand stabbed Chu Zihang's lower abdomen with the middle door wide open.
Chu Zihang raised his sword with both hands and was unable to resist for a moment!
In terms of fighting instincts, Chu Tianjiao and Chu Zihang are more than one order of magnitude better.
Helpless, Chu Zihang kicked out and pushed
Chu Tianjiao, who was in the half-dragon, kicked out and hit the Humpback Whale's luxurious solid wood desk... Well, that was Gu Bei's desk now.
What a show of loving father and filial piety!
Gu Bei didn't react slowly. He ducked in front of Chu Tianjiao and pushed him to the ground.
Chu Tianjiao couldn't break free, so he could only lie on the ground and make sounds such as "Uh huh huh" that could easily be misunderstood.
Chu Zihang also rushed over: "Dad! Dad! What's wrong with you!?"
But Chu Tianjiao didn't pay attention at all. He was breathing heavily, his eyes were red, and he didn't seem to recognize the person in front of him at all.
Gu Bei subdued Chu Tianjiao, took out a magic weapon and tied it with a rope, and then threw it aside: "As you can see, he has completely lost his memory now, and he no longer even has the memory of being a human being."
Gu Bei stared into Chu Zihang's eyes and said something he couldn't accept: "The current Chu Tianjiao is not a human named Chu Tianjiao, but a beast that looks like a human. I checked him many times, but the result There is nothing unusual about it, it’s like he was born this way.”
Chu Zihang was silent, he knew what this meant.
As one of the few people who knew about the existence of both hands, Chu Zihang knew very well that if it was the result of Gu Bei's judgment, it would basically not be wrong.
In other words, there is nothing wrong with his father.
Then how could he become like this?
What has he experienced?
What did Odin do to him?
Gu Bei sighed, took out something and threw it to Chu Zihang.
It was a broken mask, like the kind of mask worn on the face of an ancient Egyptian king to be buried with him, but the mask had been broken into several pieces and then put back together again, destroying the silence on the mask. solemn.
When he got the mask, Chu Zihang's hands shook.
Because this mask was once worn on Odin's face.
He stroked and studied the mask carefully.
The inner surface of the mask is covered with vein-like raised lines, as well as strange structures similar to biological tissue. The material is difficult to determine, but it seems to be carved from the fossil of some ancient creature.
He had a vague urge to try putting the mask on his face, but he restrained himself because it made him feel very uncomfortable.
Moreover, combined with the armor on Chu Tianjiao, he had roughly guessed the truth.
Chu Tianjiao is Odin...
It is indeed difficult to accept, especially for Chu Zihang.
He watched his father fight with Odin with his own eyes, and then opened a way for him to escape from the Nibelungen. So how could he be Odin?
how come……
Chu Zihang's eyes were blank.
After a while, he shuddered and slowly fell to the ground.
He knew very well that this was not a joke and Gu Bei would not joke about this matter.
So is this thing true?
Chu Zihang only felt that it was extremely absurd.
Until Gu Bei sat down next to him: "Do you know about heroic spirits?"
Chu Zihang's knowledge reserve has always been very high: "Those are the brave and capable fallen warriors selected by Odin on the battlefield in the human world. After their death, Odin's maid, the Valkyrie, will ride on them. The fast horses traveled through the clouds and carried the souls of the warriors to Valhalla, which is the palace used by God Odin to receive the souls of the dead, also called the Hall of Valor."
"In the Hall of Heroes, those who died on the battlefield are called "heroes". They have to practice face-to-face every day. At night, they feast and drink like uninjured people, so that they can be with the gods. Fight side by side in the apocalyptic Ragnarok battle. "
As he spoke, Chu Zihang's eyes became brighter and brighter: "You mean, dad was made into a heroic spirit by Odin!?"
"That's right," Gu Bei nodded, "Senior brother, do you still remember what Odin called you last time?"
"……container."
Chu Zihang understood that whether it was himself or his father, he had actually been beaten by Austria a long time ago.
Ding focused on the so-called container, which was the body of a brave and skilled man, and what was inside was supposed to be the part of strength.
Odin's power.
As for why all memories were lost... it is most likely a necessary condition for transforming into a heroic spirit.
"Actually, there is another problem now." Gu Beidao.
"what is the problem?"
"Although I defeated my uncle as a heroic spirit, I didn't understand why Odin sent my uncle to Japan... The recent situation has been too chaotic. I thought it might be Behemoth or the White King Heras who awakened. Reasons, but no evidence."
Gu Bei analyzed: "But Odin's goal has not been achieved. He will definitely come to Japan again, perhaps sending another heroic spirit, or coming directly in person."
Yes, there must be a reason for Chu Tianjiao's arrival. Odin would not do anything without a reason.
So, is there something about Japan that attracts him?
The two were lost in thought.

"Reply from Caesar Gattuso."
"read."
"Your regards, there is no need for a celebration party or anything like that. The three of us were seriously injured and have difficulty moving. We need to rest in bed for the time being. Now that the Dragon King has been eliminated, our mission has been completed and we will return to the academy soon. I would like to express my gratitude. I’m concerned about you, all heads of the family, and I’ll see you again when we have the chance.”
"Ignorant of current affairs!" Fuma Kotaro slapped the table, "If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink it as a fine! In my opinion, you should just fall out with those white-skinned people in the West, and then put them on a comprehensive roundup, making it difficult for them to move forward in Japan. When the time comes, I will naturally ask you to come to me and tell me everything about Gao Tianyuan."
"Fuuma-kun!" Sakurai Nanami reminded, "Young master, these three people are not ordinary people. They can kill the Dragon King in the deep sea. We should not make enemies with them."
"Huh!" Fuma Kotaro made a disgusting face, "I think they are just trying to put money on themselves! Kill the Dragon King? If they really kill the Dragon King, then they should tell the story about Takamagahara properly, so that they can complete the investigation of the Dragon King's corpse as soon as possible. The way they look now, they look more like little brats pretending to take the credit!"
Ryoma Genichiro helped: "Indeed, two first-year students and one repeater slaughtered the Dragon King... This kind of thing is too unbelievable... How about we send some people to test their strength?"
"What a good idea!" Fuma Kotaro applauded, "Send some cannon fodder over there. If they are really strong, then we will follow the young master's method of gentleness and subtlety. If they... then arrest them directly and torture them to extract a confession!"
"It's a head-to-head confrontation... But it's not good to cause bloodshed in Shinjuku. I can't explain it to the Metropolitan Police." Miyamoto Shio was busy digging the red well. He was not at the scene. He just sighed on the phone. "If you act too arrogantly, it may arouse anti-black public opinion among the people. We have been trying our best to clean ourselves up for so many years."
"Yes, the Prime Minister was attacked and killed some time ago, and the Zheng family I sponsored is expected to run for the next Prime Minister." Sakurai Nanami also showed hesitation.
"It's just a test," Ryoma Genichiro said.
Four black Rolls-Royces were parked under a building, and there were also four heads of the Sheqiba family upstairs.
Among the eight "outer five" families of Sheqi, all except the head of the Inuyama family, who only obeyed the orders of the family leader and did not care about anything, were present.
The men of the four families surrounded the entire building from different directions to prevent others from breaking into it.
Different from ordinary societies, the Sheqi Eight Family governs its subordinates with "family rules" that have been passed down for hundreds of years. The family rules are strict and even harsh. Anyone who violates the family rules, even the head of the family, must cut off his fingers to apologize, or even commit seppuku!
They manage gangs with the iron fist of an army, giving them absolute authority over their subordinates.
But now, the heads of the four families are discussing how to disobey the orders of the young master of the eight families of Sheqi.
"Gentlemen! I think we all understand one thing! We can't wait anymore! The danger is approaching day by day! We need the legacy left by our ancestors in Takamagahara!" Fuma Kotaro yelled in a low voice, "We can't let it go like this anymore, we need
United! "
"This is also the wish of our ancestors, isn't it?"
The other three family heads were silent.
Righteousness is a hurdle that Japanese societies cannot overcome, especially when it comes to family righteousness. This situation is even more obvious.
"In that case, let's let it be settled." Miyamoto Shio said, "Do we need to hold back? Or should we kill a few to demonstrate?"
"No one among them can die." Fuma Kotaro said, "Although we have disobeyed the young master's orders, at least we are dedicated to working for the Snake Qihachi family. The young master asked us to make good friends with them. We have failed to do so now. If we continue Kill them..."
The consequences are self-evident.
Several family heads nodded in unison.
However, Fuma Kotaro's voice suddenly became fierce: "But if they really disobey, cut off their hands and feet, and we only need to keep their lives and brains!"
Speaking of this, several people felt a chill in their hearts.
Sakurai Nanami suddenly said: "But I heard that these commissioners have a good relationship with that person. Now that person has finally left Japan. If we do this, he will come back."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.
Several people knew very well who Sakurai Nanami was talking about. That person killed the four heads of the Sheqihachi family in one fell swoop. In addition to the female heads of the Uesugi family and the Sakurai family, there were also the closely related heads of the Minamoto family and the elderly members of the family. Except for the leader who escaped, the others were crushed by that man.
Now that I mention it again, a few people still have evil fire rising up.
Fuma Kotaro took out the tobacco pouch from his kimono pocket and slowly filled the pot with tobacco.
"If their relationship is good, then they should entertain these commissioners well..."
