Volume 2 Hello, Xia Mi Chapter 159 You in My Memory (Part 3)
Odin, this long-lost name once again awakened the memories deep in Chu Zihang's heart. He suddenly burst out with some strength and grabbed Xia Mi's arm.
Xia Mi was startled, thinking that Chu Zihang still had the strength to resist. Just as she was about to take action, the strength in her arms weakened again. Chu Zihang just struggled to open his eyes and stared at her, his eyes bloodshot.
"You know Odin?!" Chu Zihang actually roared.
He had been following the mysterious Nordic fighting god since that rainy night, but after so many years, no one in Kassel College or the elderly professors knew about the god that existed in the real world. Until today, he finally heard the name from a dragon king that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
"Of course I know. I even know that you and Lu Mingfei escaped from Odin in your father's Maybach. Chu Tianjiao is a hero who saved your lives at the cost of himself. That night, I witnessed everything beside you, so I paid more attention to you. Lu Mingfei also came into my sight at that time."
Xia Mi said, "There is Odin's Nibelungen in that city, but it has no entrance. Only those allowed by Odin have the opportunity to find it. Anyone who has been there will be branded with Odin's mark, and you and Lu Mingfei will be able to enter that world again. So you are very important to me. If I want to see Odin, I have to find a way to pry open that non-existent door. When one day you return to your hometown and set foot in Nibelungen again, I have to stand by your side so that you can go in together."
"Odin...what on earth is that?" Chu Zihang was still struggling with himself. He would never let go of the clues he had finally caught. His whitening knuckles clasped Xia Mi's wrist tightly.
"It's better for you not to know. I understand that you want to avenge your father, and that is what drives you forward. But I have to say that he is definitely not an opponent you can handle, not even me." Xia Mi shook her head, and her eyes seemed to be full of pity when she looked at Chu Zihang. You grew up following your enemy, working tirelessly to find the truth, but that is an enemy you can never defeat, and knowing everything is not better than being ignorant.
But Chu Zihang was still so stubborn. He even tried to turn over and subdue Xia Mi so that he could hear more news. But now all his strength was taken away, and even a blood explosion would be useless. Xia Mi used the alchemical secret medicine of the dragon clan. Only one drop was needed to suppress the blood of the hybrid and make it fall into a coma. The ancient dragon clan disdained to use such things. Their great power could easily crush all human defenses. Only a dragon king like Xia Mi would be so cunning as to disguise herself as an ordinary human girl and even walk around the dragon-slaying academy so many times.
"Bye, have a good sleep. This is my farewell to you and the little kindness I have left. When you wake up, there will be no Xia Mi in this world anymore. I need you to survive as a spare key so that I can have a chance to touch Odin." Xia Mi gently stroked Chu Zihang's eyes and closed them for him. As long as he closed his eyes, it would be difficult for him to resist anymore.
Chu Zihang finally fell into a deep sleep, but his brows were still furrowed. He really looked like the destined hero in a martial arts novel, as if the weight of the world was on his shoulders.
Xia Mi stood up and looked at this handsome face that had made many people's hearts beat for a while. She smiled and turned to leave. Suddenly, a cold wind came from behind her. She was surprised and before she could turn around, Chu Zihang jumped up from the bed and bumped her into the corner of the wall. Her head hit the desk hard, and she grimaced in pain.
She underestimated Chu Zihang's obsession with Odin, which even allowed him to disguise himself before he fell asleep and launch another surprise attack. Fortunately, he had no strength left and relied entirely on his own weight to deliver a human bomb. After jumping up, he fell limply on Xia Mi's back like a drunkard, unable to move at all. Only those eyes that were stubborn enough to refuse to give up completely until death showed that he still had some consciousness.
"Are you planning to be gay with Odin? People who don't know would think he's given up on you after playing with you, but you're a pure girl in love and you're holding on to it! I'm totally defeated by you!" Xia Mi pushed Chu Zihang away from her body with all her strength and glared at him angrily, "Okay, okay, I admit defeat, okay? I've lied to you for so many years, I have to pay the price, okay? If you want to die, just go ahead! No one will stop you!"
She dragged Chu Zihang back to the bed and almost fell backwards due to exhaustion. Without activating the dragon blood, she was indeed just an ordinary beautiful girl who was harmless to humans and animals. That was why she had been able to live steadily for so many years in this society that did not belong to her.
"A glass of ice water can keep you alert for a while longer. Listen to me and then go to sleep well." Xia Mi poured a glass of ice water and fed it to Chu Zihang. There was no antidote for that alchemical potion, but there was a way to alleviate it. She sat beside the bed and slowly unveiled the dusty curtain.
"Casel's textbook tells you that dragon bloodline is innate and cannot be easily improved. But you know very well that bloodline can continue to break through. The technology you use comes at the cost of slowly leaning towards dragon bloodline, until you are separated from humans and cannot truly enter the dragon race, becoming a completely unconscious deadpool, with only a thirst for bloodline and a violent desire to kill." Xia Mi said softly, "However, there are indeed ways to safely evolve bloodlines in this world, and even allow humans to become pure-blooded dragons. It is called the Road to Deification. This method has existed since the birth of hybrids, but as far as I know, only one has been successful so far."
"Yes, that's the Odin you're looking for. He's the only half-breed who completed the path to godhood thousands of years ago, and thus got the name of god and became a legend. Humans worship him, fear him, respect him, and turn his story into a legend that will be passed down forever. Odin's power is even above our Dragon King, and he's comparable to the two emperors, Black and White. But being comparable doesn't mean they're close, as there's always a chasm between them. The dragon clan doesn't accept Odin, and doesn't recognize that this humble little man who crawled up from the bottom is a dragon like us. Humans gradually stopped worshipping Odin because they found that Odin would kill his compatriots. The dragon clan's genes made him bloodthirsty and cruel. The only difference between him and Deadpool is that he still has self-reason and stronger power, and the desire to kill is just his unreserved psychological release."
"Odin only hides in the world of Nibelung and has been watching from the sidelines for thousands of years. His evolved bloodline is not enough to satisfy him. After tasting the supreme power, he only desires to go to the next level. He wants to replace the Black Emperor and become the new Dragon Emperor. He has been waiting for the coming of Ragnarok. On that day, the Black Emperor will be reborn, and Odin will take everything he has to fight for the only throne. The Odin described in your human mythology is indeed a real existence, but he is not fighting for the survival of the Aesir, but for his own selfish desires. Valhalla is his means of accumulating troops."
Xia Mi said, "Odin's power allows him to cross space with the help of the Nibelungen level, so it's hard to catch him. The Nibelungen where you and Lu Mingfei are from is one of the few places I can find him. I need the method of evolving bloodline that he has, but I can only rely on your two keys to open that non-existent door. Now that I can't find Senior Sister Lu, I can only choose to keep you as a backup, in case you get caught in the melee and get shot by someone."
"Okay, that's all about Odin. I've told you everything." Xia Mi shook her head. "You will see him again one day in the future, because you and Lu Mingfei are both people who escaped from his world. Odin will not allow anyone to disclose his secrets, even though I've told you everything. When that time comes, I advise you not to think about revenge. Running away is your best choice. It is impossible for a human to fight against such an opponent. His power is space, cause and effect, and concepts, which are far beyond your cognition and imagination. Any one of them can make you die without a burial place. I'll go find him. If I want to get the method of evolution, I guess I can only steal... Anyway, he certainly can't try seduction like you."
The enemy he had been pursuing for many years finally had a clue. Chu Zihang's angry heart finally calmed down in the overwhelming darkness and slowly closed his eyes. Perhaps in this dream given to him by Xia Mi, he would return to the viaduct again. This time, the choice would not be to escape, but the grown-up child would finally stand beside his father, without having to look up at his back, and march forward together with the high-pitched war song in the rain, waving the sword light as dense as a net, until the end of death.
After the experience just now, Xia Mi was a little worried that Chu Zihang might suddenly come back to life again. After repeatedly confirming that this guy was really asleep this time, she drew the curtains to let the sunlight out.
I opened the chest of drawers and found everything neatly organized. There were folded sky blue school uniforms with the Shilan Middle School logo on the chest. There were stacks of white shirts with different laces on the cuffs or collars. Socks, short socks, cotton socks, and silk socks were all rolled into balls and placed side by side in a drawer.
Chu Zihang sat in the girl's bedroom, and he would never think of rummaging through the boxes to see what unexpected things there were, otherwise he would see this chest of drawers used as a wardrobe, and every item in it represented a certain memory. Sometimes it was a girl in a school uniform skirt, walking side by side on the path after class, and her bouncing ponytail brushed across his shoulders. Sometimes it was a girl in a sunny summer skirt, sitting with him in the attic of an open-air cafe and sharing a cup of parfait.
It was indeed a seduction, so Xia Mi had to prepare a lot of different styles of clothing, because she couldn't be sure what kind of style Chu Zihang would like. Now she was a good teacher and friend to Lu Mingfei, but these were actually just experiences. If she hadn't experienced the beating of Chu Zihang's wooden head, how could she know all the weaknesses of Liu Xiahui so well and grasp them in minutes?
It's just that she is very smart and learned to let go early, otherwise she would be trapped in this quagmire sooner or later. Love is the most dangerous poison in the world, and even Adam and Eve are powerless. Later, when she saw that Lu Mingfei liked Chu Zihang so much, Xia Mi thought of her past self for no reason. The shadows of the two girls seemed to overlap at this moment, and they always got very close to him without knowing it. So Xia Mi couldn't help but want to go over and help Lu Mingfei, so that Lu Mingfei could succeed, just like filling up her past regrets, and she would be happier in that way.
Dragons may be the most successful species on the evolutionary tree. They are nearly perfect, with long and long lives, rebirth after returning from cocooning, incredible power of words, and can even compete with the whole world. But the most powerful species in the world is definitely human beings. Destructive weapons are only a form of superficial violence. The most powerful part of human beings lies in culture, faith, spirit, and self-identity. Even creatures like dragons, when learning to imitate humans, will unconsciously identify themselves as a member of the human race and do many of the same things as them.
Jörmungandr would not fall in love with a human, but Shami would. This girl was a shadow created by the Dragon King himself. Even she herself could not deny that she had made many mistakes that should not have existed during her time as Shami.
But, so what? Some mistakes are beautiful. You can't deny everything that happened in the past just because there is no happy ending. That year, the summer was so hot that the cicadas were chirping, that year, the skirt was so swaying that it exposed the lace of the leggings, and that year, the glittering earrings reflected the boy's ignorant look. In the future, you will always look back and remember that what was handed to you under the cherry tree that day was not chocolate, but the box was filled with the sweetness you missed for a long time. You want to taste the taste of that time again, but you find that it only has the sourness of the seasonings after the sweetness, and it is no longer so pure.
Xia Mi changed into an ankle-length suspender skirt, paired with a windproof knitted waistcoat, and also wore a rare single-sided heart-shaped earring and lace-up Roman shoes with toes.
She is going to the battlefield. The heroes are armed with armor, horses, and sharp swords. Even if the beautiful Dragon King girl has to face the enemy, she still hopes to be pretty. There is no place for an unlovable girl in this world. As long as you put your heart into it, you will always shine.
Before leaving, she pulled out a chain from her chest and hung it on the door handle of the room. At the end of the chain hung a silver key, which could open the lock of the room. As a parting gift to Chu Zihang, she cunningly left her own mark on the innocent boy's heart, and she did not forget to leave him a way to remember her.
