Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 351 Everything Returns to the Starting Point (V)
It seems that Chu Tianjiao even treats these notes as his own diary. Occasionally, you can see his records of recent life and some complaints. For example, today the boss’s braised large intestine was not washed clean and tasted different, and today he saw his wife going to the amusement park. Chu Zihang showed him his report card and it was full marks as usual.
When he wrote this, he was not some arrogant dragon-slaying hero. He was simply a man who was full of hope for his life. Between the lines, he expressed his attachment to Su Xiaoyan and his pride in Chu Zihang.
But how could he live a peaceful life? You chose Kassel College, and you had no choice but to go down this path to the end. You pretended to be an ordinary driver in front of your wife and children, but under your pillow were always blood-stained gun muzzles and knife handles.
The love between Chu Tianjiao and Su Xiaoyan was a story that should not have happened, and it was destined to end in tragedy. But as the old saying goes, heroes are always tempted by beautiful women, and when love comes, it is silent and you just cannot resist its power.
They got married by mistake, had children by mistake, and their short-lived happiness may only last for a few years. Su Xiaoyan hoped that Chu Tianjiao would be more motivated and do some side jobs to improve his family's financial situation, instead of disappearing every time he got off work. She even found someone on her side to use her connections to offer Chu Tianjiao a more stable job with a better salary, but how could Chu Tianjiao accept it? He still had his own things to do, but he couldn't tell Su Xiaoyan what he did, so their relationship could only drift apart, and finally they had to sign the divorce agreement.
Chu Zihang left with Su Xiaoyan and married another rich man. The family of three started a new and affluent life, moving into a big house and driving luxury cars. While they were enjoying their family life with a chartered movie, Chu Tianjiao could only sit in the corner of the wall on the third floor underground, quietly wiping the weapons he had collected and pondering grand themes such as the fate of all mankind.
Maybe the day the Black King wakes up, the secret of the Dragon Clan will no longer be a secret. The whole world will know about the terrifying monster, and Su Xiaoyan will know too. Chu Zihang will tell her that his father is such an awesome man. But by then, the man was gone. Like all heroes who die in their old age, the only thing he left for his descendants was a tombstone with his name on it.
The only thing that could be considered a luxury item on the table next to it was a CD player, with the black disc still inside, just as it was before the owner left. Lu Mingfei turned it on, and inside it was the familiar song "Daily Growing".
He's young but he's grieving owing.
Father, dear father, you've done me great wrong.
You have married me to a boy who it is too young.
I am twice twelve and he is but fourteen.
He's young but he's daily growing.
It was probably because he heard this song here that Chu Tianjiao played it for Chu Zihang in the Maybach. Fathers are always like this. There are few fathers who would shout "I love you, son" all day long and give a warm hug. Their love always lacks the means to express, and is implicit and restrained. Chu Tianjiao used this song to tell Chu Zihang his thoughts. He hoped that Chu Zihang could have a better life with his mother in the new family.
But Chu Zihang was just a child at that time and he didn't understand. When he finally came to his senses, he realized it was too late.
If I had the chance, I should really bring Chu Zihang to this place. He seemed to be a winner in life. His mother was so beautiful, his stepfather was so rich and treated him like his own son, and he was also very handsome. He was probably the child who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. But his life was actually full of tragedy. He had always been at odds with his biological father and even hated him until the worst ending came. From then on, his personality and life pursuits were completely turned upside down, and the cold-faced killer embryo in Kassel College was born.
But if it weren't for this, I might not have fallen in love with Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei thought. When girls are young, they are always keen on being rebellious. Those buzz-cut, good boys with glasses are certainly no match for the hesitant and rebellious handsome boy.
People are visual animals, mysterious like the wind, coming and going in a hurry. Chu Zihang, who seemed to be out of tune with this world, was the most popular flower in Shilan Middle School at that time. Even Lu Mingfei at that time was no exception. After a quiet intersection, she easily fell in love with him. This kind of feeling is like the Mary Sue heroine who is so cliché that she doesn't call the police when she is kissed by force, but cares about him inexplicably. It's simply Stockholm syndrome.
But sometimes, maybe you just need to have such a dazzling person by your side in your life. Just because you are willing to watch him, follow him, and work hard to learn and make progress, you can gradually transform. The Cinderella by the fireplace will one day be able to enter the formal world and become the Snow White that everyone is paying attention to.
Lu Mingfei took down the note with the name of the Black King Nidhogg. Everything here was so impressive that she would be able to recall it easily no matter how many years passed in her life. She didn't need to deliberately write anything down because everything was in her mind.
She climbed up again along the steel pipe that led in and out of the basement. When she was almost at the exit, Ling pulled her up, and after they flipped out, the two of them sat on the mattress.
"How does Chu Tianjiao's secret base feel?" Ling asked.
"I discovered a lot of interesting things. In short, I have a better understanding of this S-level player. His image is finally complete in my mind." Lu Mingfei said.
"What do you mean by S-rank? Shouldn't you say father-in-law?"
"You haven't even started yet, can you please stop being so dramatic!" Lu Mingfei was choked and speechless for a moment, "You are actually becoming more and more sinister, and you would use this kind of thing to make fun of me!"
"Are you sure there is no such thing? Chu Zihang disappeared because of Odin, and now you have come to Odin's doorstep. If this experience is written into a novel, the name can be called A Thousand Miles to Find My Husband. Is it so difficult to admit it? And I don't think you are the kind of person who forgets friends for the sake of beauty." Ling's tone was still so flat, as if she was not joking at all, but Lu Mingfei had been fooled by her in minutes, and all the seasoning was added, except for the heat.
"Of course I'm not. I shot Chu Zihang for you back then!" Lu Mingfei straightened her chest and spoke with great righteousness, "Boyfriends are like clothes and sisters are like brothers, okay!"
"Of course I remember that incident. It was one of my rare failures. I didn't expect you to be in that place at that time." Ling said, "But that has nothing to do with us now. I understand how you feel now, but you are about to encounter an enemy more terrifying than the Dragon King. Odin's ability can no longer be called a word spirit, it can even be called a miracle. If your level is 100, then his level is 10,000. Have you ever thought about what ultimate move you have to deal with him and bring Chu Zihang back?"
"I'm not just rushing forward blindly with my eyes closed. Of course I've thought about it." Lu Mingfei curled her lips. "The key point is not how we can defeat Odin, but to first find out the situation in the Nibelungen. Senior brother took the initiative to follow Odin. Although I don't know the reason, I am very sure that he is still alive."
"What's the reason? You can't just rely on your sixth sense."
“Because of this.”
Lu Mingfei handed her iPhone to Ling. The screen showed a map of the city. It looked like a map app. The blue cursor was their current location, located in an industrial park on the edge of the city. The red cursor was about 16 kilometers away. The strange thing was that the cursor did not appear all the time, but sometimes it appeared and sometimes it did not. Its flashing seemed very regular. It would flash for 1-2 seconds every 8 seconds and then go out, and then continue to repeat. And the position of each flash would move. If you convert the map scale, the distance it moved during the 8 seconds of being off would be hundreds of meters per second.
"The red cursor is Chu Zihang. He is in the Nibelungen of this city, just like in Tokyo." Lu Mingfei said, "After he disappeared, I went to the college's database to look up all his information. One of the entries mentioned that Chu Zihang had a tooth filled by the school doctor of Kassel College. Because Chu Zihang had already shown the instability of his bloodline at that time, his mentor Professor Schneider did something during the operation and implanted a signal source in his molar, which was covered with a titanium crown, so it couldn't be seen by X-rays. This record is kept in the archives, and I went to verify it with Professor Schneider."
"Someone with such excellent bloodline actually has cavities." Ling was a little surprised.
"In fact, I prefer to believe that he bit it to pieces... because this guy can perform surgery on himself, and he doesn't need anesthesia." Lu Mingfei was speechless when she mentioned this. She really saw Chu Zihang treat his wounds in a way that challenged himself. The scene was so horrifying that it was like Guan Gong scraping bones to treat poison and laughing calmly. "When we usually describe something, don't we always say that the teeth are about to be bitten to pieces? That's because someone has done this. This is difficult for a normal person with a strong bite force, but it may not be the case for a hybrid that can bleed. He would grit his teeth to endure the pain, and that's when his teeth were worn out."
"This story sounds like a tough-guy movie," Zero commented.
"It's really hard to imagine if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, but the fact that he had to undergo surgery due to his broken teeth is a good thing for us, because with this signal source, we can track his location at any time. If he was dead, the signal source would definitely not move. You also saw that he was actually moving at high speed. I'm afraid it's because the Nibelungen overlaps with the real world, so his actual position is deviated." Lu Mingfei said.
"No wonder you haven't acted too panicked or sad these days, because you know what's going on."
"Well, but there is still one thing. After all, this is the first time I can't find him." Lu Mingfei nodded, "I know how dangerous Odin is. I plan to find Chu Zihang's location and launch a surprise attack in one go, and avoid a direct conflict with Odin as much as possible. If any of you feel that this is difficult to do, or the risk is too great and you want to quit, I won't stop you. This is everyone's freedom."
Ling looked at Lu Mingfei quietly and was silent for a few seconds: "If we had such an idea, we should have refused when you proposed to go find Odin this time. The fact that you have a plan is the best news. Don't think too much, just do it boldly, and we will fully support you. Someone once told me that an agreement is very heavy. It means that you will not abandon each other, and you will not betray each other until the end of your death."
"It's a bit of a chuunibyou line, but it sounds good." Lu Mingfei thought of some passionate chuunibyou anime. As a otaku, she felt a strong sense of resonance with these lines.
"Yeah, she has always been a little bit of a middle school student, but I didn't know this term before. I just thought she was a little bit special." Ling's eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of mist, as if even though she was standing there, her thoughts had already broken through the basement and gone to a very far place.
That was something someone very important to her said, right? Lu Mingfei thought.
Two days later, the fateful typhoon arrived as expected, and the city was once again immersed in torrential rain. Everyone's life trajectory was changed as a result. Many working people could work from home, and those who did not need to go out spent the night watching TV. The rain on the street was already above people's ankles, and there were still bold vendors who dared to secretly set up their stalls at this time, hoping to make money from people who came home late.
The Meteorological Bureau announced that the heavy rain is expected to end within 34 hours, and will gradually increase during the period, reaching its peak in the early morning of the next day. All departments should pay attention to the possibility of flood disasters.
But the satellite cloud map in their hands did not say so. The satellite cloud map showed that the city was covered by a black vortex cloud. Its coverage area was extremely small and the cloud volume was extremely large, which actually appeared like a black hole on the cloud map.
In fact, the eye of the typhoon did not pass through this city at all. It was still more than 30 kilometers away from the most dangerous eye, but now its rainfall is higher than that in the eye. This is not the first time we have seen this situation. On a certain night many years ago, on the same day when the typhoon landed, the satellite cloud map of the Meteorological Bureau also showed this.
At first they were worried that this abnormal weather would bring about some unforeseen disaster. After reporting it, they received the reply that they should closely monitor and be prepared, but not to spread the news so as not to cause unnecessary panic. Fortunately, that day passed without any danger or flood as they had imagined. In addition to a few traffic accidents, there was nothing to worry about in the whole city.
Now that the situation has occurred again, there are still people in the Meteorological Bureau who were in office when it happened last time. As usual, they have notified their subordinate departments and taken the usual measures, hoping that this time it will be just a false alarm like the last time.
Most people are still unaware of the coming of the change. Due to the heavy rainfall, many of the main roads in the city have been closed, leaving only one road, a brand new highway, Highway 10, which is also the only highway in and out of the city that is built entirely in the air. Therefore, it is not worried about being affected by heavy rains at all, and the water on the road can be drained in an instant. It is currently the only highway that has not been closed. The logistics of the city in the next two days will all rely on this road.
