My name is Lu Mingfei, not Lu Mingfei! - Chapter 108 107 Kingless Shadows (5)
Chapter 108 107. No King’s Shadow (5)
The dark red light was so eye-catching in the river. Lu Mingfei did not let go of this fleeting brilliance. She looked around, trying to find what was emitting this beam of light. Just a few dozen meters away, there was a Something was suspended in the water, and the transparent red light could go straight to the deeper water below Lu Mingfei’s feet.
“Diving Bell!” She subconsciously wanted to shout. The moment she figured out what this thing was, she was as ecstatic as Moses being guided by God.
The standard operation for underwater refloating is to float up and wait for refloating, but Lu Mingfei doesn’t have that much time and oxygen, and Chu Zihang is on the verge of collapse at any time. But now that you have a diving bell, there is no problem. The large copper sealed cabin has its own oxygen supply. After being airtight, you can surface in a few minutes and then slowly decompress.
She patted Chu Zihang and pointed at the diving bell. There was a glimmer of hope in Chu Zihang’s dim pupils, and he nodded hard.
When faced with a desperate situation, people will burst out with powerful strength. When they are in a desperate situation and it coincides with hope, they will squeeze out deeper potential. The two people swam towards the diving bell. Chu Zi was obviously swimming faster than before, Lu Ming Fei probably guessed that Chu Zihang’s bad state was getting worse, but he just didn’t show it.
Lu Mingfei slowed down a bit, went behind Chu Zihang, and pushed him forward with all his strength. The hatch of the diving bell was open, glowing with warm light like a wine shop waiting for guests.
The sea water was suddenly stirred by violence, and even the light emitted by the diving bell was frightened and confused. Lu Mingfei saw the thing that was rushing straight towards them. Norton maintained his human form, but could shuttle as fast as a launched torpedo. His face was cold and hard, as if it contained ice, and he held a bronze gun in his hand. ancient sword.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei also felt the invisible aura of so-called murderous intent. The extreme cold seemed to freeze all the rivers around her. The human heart was completely destroyed and assimilated. Now there are no more things rushing towards her. The so-called interference from the personality of Old Tang.
The diving bell was already very close. Lu Mingfei kicked Chu Zihang on the back. Regardless of the position, she pushed him into the diving bell and slammed the door shut.
The oxygen system of the diving bell automatically turned on, and the high-pressure valve entered the drainage operation. Fresh air and stable air pressure washed over Chu Zihang. He breathed heavily and tried to stand up to look at the round pressure-resistant glass on the hatch. .
For only a moment, he only saw Lu Mingfei’s happy smile that he was safe. The high-speed black figure collided with her head-on and fell into the depths of the water together.
The diving suit tore again, and a large number of bubbles mixed with river water quickly filled the suit. Lu Mingfei felt as if she had been hit hard in the chest by a heavy siege artillery, and her soul was shattered to pieces, and her ribs were probably also shattered. It’s broken. To be honest, she may have suffered more injuries tonight than she has in her entire life combined. She feels like someone with an old illness is lying in the ICU waiting to die. She feels pain every time she breathes.
Norton stopped in the water, and Lu Mingfei continued to fly a few meters out with the inertia until the buoyancy of the flowing water dragged her down.
“I thought you would not be able to leave the Bronze City alive if you lost your diving suits.” Norton swam around Lu Mingfei. His posture was very strange, with almost no large movements, but he could think towards himself smoothly. Go in the direction you want and even talk underwater.
Lu Mingfei couldn’t answer him. A large amount of water poured into the mask. Now she was almost in a fish tank, relying on the oxygen mask to survive. If Norton broke the tube or the oxygen tank behind her, she would be doomed, so she adjusted her position as much as possible so that she faced Norton and hid her weakness behind her.
“Actually, you might as well die in the Bronze City, so I don’t have to do it myself.” Norton said softly, looking down at the bronze sword in his hand, “Killing my own kind is not what I want, but Nidhogg’s order It cannot be violated. Many things in the world backfire like this. At first, I was tired of the endless disputes. I just wanted to find a deserted place with Constantine to live our lives. It took a long time to come from the palace in Northern Europe. China, I thought I would be safe when I got here, and could avoid unnecessary disputes. However, in ancient China, there were also hybrids who hated dragons. They didn’t understand why I established myself as king in Baidi City. It was just out of worry. For the reason that I would attack them first, I chose to entangle the army and Liu Xiu to cooperate in the attack.”
He walked slowly in the water, just like those heroes in martial arts novels who can walk on water. The bomb placed in the Bronze City finally completed its scheduled countdown. The Bronze City embedded in the rock tilted, surrounded by Dark green water spurted out, the rocks collapsed, and violent disturbances spread in all directions. Norton just lowered his head and glanced in that direction, neither sad nor happy, as if the death of that place to him was as simple as watching the fallen leaves turn and die.
“Human beings always define dragons as what they imagine. Little do they know that dragons are just newborn children. When they open their eyes and look at the world, they are no different from your babies. Only those in this world can truly be named dragons. There is only one dragon, and that is Nidhogg. We respect him, but we are also afraid of him, so we finally chose to betray him, but he cannot be killed. Many years later, he will return and wreak havoc on all humans and ancient dragons. The judgment of wrath.”
Norton smiled at this, “But these people don’t understand. You grew up accepting human concepts. Just like me, as Old Tang, I always thought that I was just a bounty hunter with nothing to do. We are all white before we awaken. A piece of paper can easily be infected with the color that someone wants. It is a good thing not to know who you are. At least you will not suffer from it. Being able to die in ignorance is a kind of happiness.”
Lu Mingfei’s eyes widened and she tried hard to remember every word Norton said. This was what a dragon king told her. Unlike Cassell’s textbook, Norton was the real dragon in question. I have experienced that distant and indescribable era.
There was a feeling of exhaustion in every word he said, like a desperate man standing on a cliff, with thousands of troops chasing him behind him, each holding a bloody knife in his hand. sword. He could only look at the long-dead rotten tree and recall his life so far. After saying this, his choice was probably to jump from the side.
Why is this happening? Shouldn’t the Dragon Clan be destined to be the strong ones that oppose humans? But in Norton’s words, it seemed that he was the weak one who was bullied. He was so scared that he wanted to escape, but found that he had nowhere to escape.
“I will grant you eternal liberation!” Norton raised his bronze sword and pointed it upward, shouting in a great tone like a poet, “In this way, you will not have to bear the fate of abandoning your family like me. After eternal sleep, you will finally Able to reach the distant Hall of Valor.”
The bronze sword split the endless river water, as if there was no resistance at all. Norton rushed straight towards Lu Mingfei, carrying the surging waves. His breath produced a large amount of foam and surged towards him behind him. Under the blessing of high speed, it was like a A bursting torpedo.
Lu Mingfei struggled to escape, but her diving suit was broken. Norton’s speed could reach fifty knots. The surprise attack at this distance was only a moment, and the king’s army had nowhere to escape.
“Why is a grown man here trying to confuse everyone with his monstrous words? Who wants to be an outcast with a despicable thing like you? How do you have the qualifications to judge me!”
A thunderous sound exploded in her mind, and Lu Mingfei’s vision went dark. She opened her eyes suddenly, and the stars above her head were scattered. All she could see was a dark sea, with no island or continent visible, and endless flowing water. Above, only the white boat underneath is a unique color.
Lu Mingzao was sitting on the side of the boat, swinging his legs and kicking up splash after splash in the black sea. She is no longer dressed like a gothic lolita. After removing her twin ponytails, her long hair in a clear water style touches the ground behind her. Her white skirt is spotless without any unnecessary decorations. She looks like every A mysterious girl who appears in a boy’s dream, cute but out of reach for you.
Lu Mingfei sat down next to her, not surprised or flustered at all. Past experience showed that Lu Mingzao’s world was equivalent to a dream where time stopped. She was sitting here. Maybe her body outside was racing against Norton. The two of them It is frozen in the water and becomes a still painting.
“You can’t beat me this way, sister, I’ve been chased away everywhere.” Lu Mingzao’s mouth smelled like dirt.
“Then what can we do? If I can’t beat him, I can’t beat him. I’m not a Super Saiyan. As long as I stand up my hair, I can fight like crazy and hit stars with one punch.” Lu Mingfei curled her lips, “Since I love each other, My good sisters have come out, are you trying to sell me some violent artifact this time? Skylight cannot be used underwater! Find something that can fight!”
She seems to have become accustomed to this elusive Pokemon. Regardless of whether Lu Mingzao is her sister or a demon, at least he has not done anything bad to her so far, so Lu Mingfei is willing to trust her with confidence. .
“Sisters who love each other are very comfortable to hear!” Lu Mingzao patted his chest, as if he were a young girl in love with a rosy face, “It’s okay to help you deal with this guy, because I also feel unhappy with him. , I feel so sad, I am the most miserable dragon in the world, the heroine Mary Sue is not as sensational as him, I just want to punch him in the face.”
“But I…” Lu Mingfei hesitated for a few seconds, scratched his head and finally said it, “I feel like everything he said is true.”
“If you look at the same thing from different perspectives, you will of course get different answers. Maybe Norton feels that he has done nothing, but in the eyes of humans, he is already extremely evil.” Lu Mingzao said lightly, “You know Bronze How was the city made? He directly hollowed out a mountain, poured the bronze juice into it, and after cooling, directly smashed the mountain to get such a huge bronze city. Do you think if someone watched Norton bury it? The mountain of my ancestral grave has been knocked, so why don’t people risk their lives with him? Stop listening to his monstrous words to deceive others, and be firm in your heart!”
“Oh…” Lu Mingfei thought for a while and felt that what Lu Mingzao said was quite reasonable, “Are the Dragon Clan really an abandoned clan? They are obviously so powerful that they have to move to avoid the war.”
“They did it themselves.” Lu Mingzao sneered, as if he thought of some very funny joke, “Nidhogg’s death stemmed from the betrayal of the four monarchs. They teamed up with humans to kill the black emperor, thinking that this He was the new king. But the humans turned around and targeted them. The old alliance had long since fallen apart after Nidhogg’s death. The four kings attacked each other in order to compete for power, but were defeated one by one by humans. So Norton himself is not a good person at all. He said stupid things like that he was tired of the war, but has he ever thought about it? He was also responsible for the initial trigger of the war. It is disgusting to cover up himself as a victim. .”
“You really understand such a long history.”
“Of course you won’t forget what you have experienced easily. I like the word “unforgettable” very much, because only in this way can you remember many things forever.” Lu Mingzao’s voice was too low for her age.
In an instant, she clapped her hands and became happy again, with a smile on her face, “Okay, let’s not talk about these boring things. Old Tang’s personality has been completely defeated and crushed by the heart of the dragon family. Now there is only the arrogant king behind you. I will punish you with your life. Since you are still a newbie who has just left the novice village, why not let me kill him?”
“You want to bribe me again?” Lu Mingfei subconsciously crossed her arms and curled up to stay away from Lu Mingzao. One quarter doesn’t sound like much, which is acceptable, but if it becomes one half, it is simply appalling. Half of your life must be sold just to get this dragon?
“No, this time is considered after-sales service, because I also hate Norton like this and want to teach him a lesson.” Lu Mingzao smiled harmlessly, but he said harshly, “The past King of Bronze and Fire can He is not such a coward, he probably shrank with his brother for too long and turned from a king into a tortoise, only capable of biting.”
“Are you 100% sure?” Lu Mingfei asked.
“Is it difficult to deal with him?” Lu Mingzao asked, his domineering expression on his small face.
Lu Mingfei thought of Chu Zihang who was still in the diving bell. If she died, there was a high probability that Chu Zihang would be next, and then Norton would follow the diving bell all the way up, and then he would board the Monyach. The person is unlucky.
This choice is really like the classic trolley problem. Choose one person or a group of people?
It seems that there is nothing to worry about, because that person is holding a knife behind his back and saying that he is going to kill you. Even if you are a kind-hearted person, the other person does not seem to be willing to accept your favor, or even want to listen to what you say. word.
“Then… let’s make the deal.” She slowly stretched out her hand, still a little hesitant, but Lu Mingzao grabbed her and pulled her towards her.
The two people hugged each other on the black sea. It was a reunion that had not happened for many years. Lu Mingzao in the arms seemed to have no body temperature. Holding her was like holding a large piece of soft ice. There was a feeling in the golden pupils. The candlelight swaying in the dark night is no longer as bright as before, but it still makes people feel a little warmth, quietly bursting from the bottom of their hearts.
