Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 350 Everything Returns to the Starting Point (Part 4)
The door was closed, and the turbid air in the basement corridor was isolated outside. The wind stopped flowing, and the sound of the compressor was also isolated outside the door.
"He lives a really poor life." Ling paced slowly in the room. She opened the desk casually, wanting to see what the owner of the room usually did, but she only found a few magazines and some local daily newspapers that had been out of date for many years. It seemed that Chu Tianjiao's biggest hobby might be reading. Apart from that, there was nothing in the room that could be called an entertainment product.
“I don’t think he is that kind of person.”
Lu Mingfei's attention was focused on the photo on the table. It was said that every happy man would have a family photo on his table. Although Chu Tianjiao later divorced, he still had such a photo on his table, of Su Xiaoyan, him, and Chu Zihang when he was a child. This was probably the happiest time for the three of them together. The background was the local amusement park. Everyone wore funny headdresses on their heads. Chu Zihang even had an extra red deer nose, and he was smiling particularly happily.
Speaking of which, Lu Mingfei had never seen Chu Zihang smile like that before. It seemed that all his troubles had nothing to do with him. He was just immersed in the beauty of that moment, free and unrestrained.
It turns out that he was not really born a cold and aloof model. It was the changes in his family that pushed him more and more away from the crowd, until the last rainy night, when he finally saw his father's figure clearly, but he also lost him at the same time. So Chu Zihang became the well-known man with expressionless face.
"What kind of person is Chu Tianjiao in your impression?" Ling asked.
"He's a talkative, frivolous guy, definitely not the ordinary driver the security guard described. How could the S-Class from Kassel be such a boring man? Even if he's good at hiding himself, I remember very clearly that he spoke very clearly that night, as if he had been around the world. I don't believe that a middle-aged uncle who has accomplished nothing can have such insights. I'm not looking for a driver, I'm looking for someone who's from Kassel."
Chu Zihang always lived an ascetic life. His personality, his lifestyle, and his attitude towards work all came from his unfortunate childhood. But Chu Tianjiao was different. From the time he met Su Xiaoyan and then divorced her, he had already become a mature dragon slayer. From the way he spoke, it was clear that he and his son were completely opposite types.
Lu Mingfei began to wander along every corner of the room, trying to explore every gap with her fingers. She felt that there must be a secret door or something here. If it was just such a simple furnishing, Chu Tianjiao would not need to set up a security door for his own little house.
Ling saw through Lu Mingfei's idea and joined the team in the careful search. The two of them circled the room from different directions. The drawers of the table were disassembled and even restored to wooden boards. The bed was also turned over completely, leaving their hands covered in dust.
After removing the mattress, there was indeed a tightly assembled secret door underneath, which was welded with iron sheets and iron frames and had a heavy padlock. There was no key, but that was not a problem. Lu Mingfei gently held the padlock and broke the lock without much effort.
The secret door was incredibly heavy. When the two people turned it over together, it made a creaking sound that sounded like they were opening an old machine. When they opened it, a cold wind immediately blew out from underneath. Normally, the space here should be enclosed, which means that the space inside the secret door might be relatively large.
"How do you feel that he has this kind of thing?" Ling asked.
"Because there are traces of Chu Tianjiao's processing in the lock core, he could only do this to prevent colleagues from the factory from accidentally entering his room. He must have his own secrets," said Lu Mingfei.
There was no lighting tool at hand, so Lu Mingfei pulled out her own floating light. The bright light on the blade illuminated the darkness under the secret door, where there was a steel pipe for entering and exiting. Ling was responsible for watching from the outside, and Lu Mingfei slid in along the steel pipe. She waved the blade casually, and the light spread out like stardust, illuminating the surroundings. As if to respond to this long-lost visitor, a cold light flashed on the wall. It turned out to be a whole wall of weapons storage!
This space was probably a mistake during construction. It was closed after the factory was built. Chu Tianjiao opened it from the second floor of the basement and turned it into his own private storage room. The endless weapons looked at Lu Mingfei coldly like an army ready to go, from pistols, double-barreled shotguns, rifles to submachine guns, and finally the exaggerated machine guns. The owner had been gone for a long time, but they were all shiny as new. On the table were the supporting tools for maintaining the weapons. I'm afraid one of Chu Tianjiao's pleasures was to quietly wipe them here.
On the other side are all kinds of cold weapons, such as swords, spears, halberds, hammers, clubs, hooks and forks. These things combined can not only equip a person to become a master, but also allow a makeshift team to perform a song of Dingjun Mountain with great vigor. The soldiers don't even need to look for props for their weapons, as they can all be prepared.
Lu Mingfei picked the most outrageous one at random. She couldn't even name it, but she felt that it was extremely heavy and shaped like a Green Dragon Crescent Blade. This made her imagine Chu Tianjiao wielding it. If he used it to fight Deadpool, he would probably sweep it all into the sea.
She tried the edge of the weapon and easily cut a corner of her skirt. The words on it were all old Qin Dynasty small seal characters, which were very different from modern characters. Except for a few words with similar images, the others were basically difficult to identify. This showed that this thing had a history of at least two thousand years, but there was no such advanced forging technology in that era. Including this weapon, all the cold weapons here were probably alchemical weapons, and their value added together was simply inestimable.
Chu Tianjiao, Chu Tianjiao, no wonder you, an S-class, are broke all day! A man's greatest hobbies are nothing more than Gundam firearms and fishing. Even Chu Tianjiao couldn't escape this vicious circle. He is a master of weapon collection, keen on all kinds of good things that can help him slay dragons. None of the things here can be called cheap. A driver's lifetime salary may not be able to afford one of them. Lu Mingfei roughly counted, from firearms to cold weapons, the total number of collections here has already exceeded ninety.
If Chu Tianjiao took out any of them to sell, he would have a lot more money on hand. He could give Su Xiaoyan the life she wanted, so she would not leave him. He could also buy Chu Zihang the most popular clothes. Compared with him, Chu Zihang's stepfather was a scumbag. Although his stepfather was very rich and successful in business, how could a businessman be compared with a hero? Every boy would hope that his father was a man of integrity!
But he couldn't do that, because he was just a driver. If he could give so much financial support to his family, people would doubt his financial problems, and he had to hide his identity. And those were the collections he prepared for slaying dragons. No one could tell whether a machine gun or a sword would be more useful when facing a Tyrannosaurus. Maybe one day he would die, but at least he would take these things with him on the road to fight the Tyrannosaurus, just like the hero's tombstone always bears his legendary sword that killed the devil.
A fisherman would not want his fishing rod to be broken, and a otaku would not want his Gundam to fall into the hands of a naughty kid. Chu Tianjiao's arsenal is his life, his symbol, and his spirit. On many nights after his divorce , he could only sit here alone and wipe the cold blades and gun muzzles over and over again. Only by doing this can his heart calm down.
Chu Zihang unintentionally inherited this characteristic of his father. He had never seen this side of Chu Tianjiao, but he would still do the same thing. Lu Mingfei saw Chu Zihang polishing the Murasame many times. It sounded like the gurgling of water, or like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. It seemed that he could blend into another world by listening to those sounds. Maybe in that world, there was no girl who would live and die together in the Maybach. He would resolutely turn around when the car was halfway through. It was an honor for the boy to die in battle with his father.
Like father, like son. Both father and son are such stubborn kids.
On the other side of this wall of weapons were countless red lines crisscrossing in the air. The red lines were strung with photos, news clippings, or handwritten pieces of paper. Each photo represented an event, and the back was filled with Chu Tianjiao's own opinions.
In Summer Mourning, the dragons displayed a well-planned military-style offensive annihilation war. It is speculated that this was a purge of the secret party by the Dragon King, and humans must have been involved. The biggest beneficiary of the incident seemed to be Angers, but in fact it was the directors of Kassel Academy who later established it. The order of the hybrids was re-divided, and many people took advantage of this to ascend the throne.
Siberia is still the largest uninhabited area in the world. It was the site of the Tunguska explosion and stone tablets with dragon characters were excavated. It is speculated that the Black King's original throne was not in Northern Europe, but in Siberia. Most legends point out that the Black King's throne was covered with ice and snow. The Far North is indeed a possible place that meets this condition, otherwise there would not be stone tablets recording the events of the time in such a place.
Greenland Ice Sea. Although there is no definite evidence, it is certain that the attack was launched by the King of Ocean and Water. It is speculated that the eggs of the Dragon King were sleeping in the place, and when they sensed the danger, they immediately broke out of the cocoon and launched an attack. It can be seen that the dragon clan still has the ability to perceive the outside world in the ovipositor state. Even when facing the dragon clan that has not yet fully developed, we still need to be extra careful. Long-range lethal weapons may be a good choice, such as dropping atomic bombs.
...In addition to some records in the archives of Kassel College, there are also some dragon documents from Chu Tianjiao himself found in China, which have not even been made public. Lu Mingfei also found several letters signed by Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini. In the letters, they had a detailed conversation with Chu Tianjiao about some of the events they discovered, and also mentioned that they both doubted the correctness of the directors of Kassel College, so they pressed some information and did not submit it to the college. Many of Chu Tianjiao's alchemical weapons were found during this period.
It turned out that his parents and Chu Tianjiao were old acquaintances... Come to think of it, they were both S-level dragon-slaying heroes of the same era, both from China, and had studied in the same academy, so it was normal for them to have connections with each other.
At this point, Chu Tianjiao's original secret mission was finally revealed to the world. Like his parents, he was engaged in the search and deciphering of dragon relics around the world, but his parents were worldwide, while Chu Tianjiao was mainly active in China. He probably had his own connections and had some connections with the major dragon-slaying families. Since Angers was very clear about the purpose of the school board , Chu Tianjiao's activities were kept completely secret, and the school board was not aware of it. When he died, the career of this former S-level person became a secret forever.
Some of those red lines intersected with each other, while some had no connection at all and were hung up separately. Finally, they condensed into an intricate large net here. All the red lines gathered into a thick bundle pointing to the center, which was a separate nameplate with the Black King written on it.
On the back of this nameplate, Chu Tianjiao wrote down his views on the incident as usual.
It is not only the enemy of mankind, but also the enemy of the dragon kings. The dragon kings joined forces with humans to kill this supreme being, but before Nidhogg bleeds dry, he swears that he will return, and the day he returns will be the end of the world.
It can be inferred that the Black King must have left his own eggs somewhere on this earth, and it took many years for him to recover his power and return to the world. As a creature active on the timeline, Nidhogg should know that his death is inevitable, and all the power of the Word Spirit is also emitted because of it. Considering that the dragon race can be reborn in both material form and ideology, I have a bold guess about Nidhogg's revival.
If no one can stop its return, then there must be no way to crack it. The Word Spirit itself is the product of the power of the dragon race, and all the power of the dragon race comes from Nidhogg. Will he use some special Word Spirit as his egg? If this Word Spirit always exists and is the key to awakening it, then it will always have the possibility of revival. When this Word Spirit restarts again, it is equivalent to awakening Nidhogg himself.
Since the dragons and hybrids are still using the power of words, the eggs preserved in this way are ideologies that can never be destroyed. No matter how much time has passed, Nidhogg will eventually fulfill its promise.
This is just speculation after all, which contains the thoughts of the ancients. I need more evidence, but I don’t have much time to travel around recently. Family is a concept that can easily bind people. To be honest, I never thought that I would get married before, but love cannot be stopped. It just came. Because of a ticket, I went to the theater and fell madly in love with someone.
Her name is Su Xiaoyan, of course she is beautiful, how can my girl not be beautiful? She is a dancer, has a good figure and is very well behaved. We have a child, and I hope that this boy will be more handsome than his father in the future, but to be honest, it should be difficult because I am already very handsome, haha!
