Chapter 161 Return to Reality (6K)

"Where is his signal point?" Mai Shutoku asked.

At this moment, the three of them were still on the Global Express. After Lu Mingfei jumped out of the plane, the pilot had been controlling the plane to circle around the vertical center of the circle where Lu Mingfei disappeared, but the flight altitude was reduced to 10,000 meters.

Generally speaking, the dusk hour at night lasts for 1-2 hours, but this is Northern Europe and it is still winter. The sun sets very quickly. The sunset outside the window has become dim, and it is getting late, almost to night.

When the time limit is up, the connection between Nibelungen and the real world will be severed. Unless the Dragon King is resurrected and opens the door for him, Lu Mingfei will never be able to return from that "death kingdom".

"In the snow." Su Enxi typed the keyboard quickly, circled a red dot on the map, and enlarged the satellite photo. "The signal point is at this location, but there is a vast expanse of white snow. The signal appears because of three Wu hit the Enter key. Originally, the key was not the key to connect the signal, but the signal was connected. According to the theory of 'dependent origination and emptiness', this is because there is a 'karma' between Sanwu and Lu Mingfei. I think To pull Lu Mingfei out, only three incompetents can do it."

"We have no time. It takes 5-8 minutes to land after parachuting at an altitude of 10,000 meters. Dusk will end in 11 minutes at most, so we must jump out of the plane first!" Su Enxi was anxiously typing on the keyboard: "Go and drive, Long Legs." The cabin door, Sanwu goes to equip the parachute, in short, reach the signal sending point first! Hurry!"

"Okay!" Mai Shutoku ran towards the cabin in a hurry.

Zero nodded and went to equip the parachute bag. She quickly put on a special thermal suit with Zorro the bear tied around her waist.

It is very dangerous to open an umbrella at 10,000 meters without wearing protection. The temperature here is close to minus 60 degrees. It is difficult for ordinary people to ensure a safe landing. In the air, they will suffer from human body dysfunction caused by the extreme cold and thin air, leading to die.

This is also a risky behavior for a hybrid, but the extremely cold and harsh environment is the environment that Zero is most familiar with, and the thing she is least afraid of is the cold.

30 seconds later, she was already standing at the hatch. The air flow was violently hitting her, mixed with clouds and mist. It was difficult for Mai Shutoku to open her eyes, and her ears were filled with the sound of wind.

"Can you hear me?" Su Enxi's voice came to Zero's ear. She was wearing a mask and an insulating suit that blocked the cold wind from affecting her.

"I can hear it." Zero said.

"Okay, let's parachute. I've already transferred the map to you."

"Yes." Zero nodded, tilted his body, and broke through the clouds in an instant, falling rapidly towards the ground.

A magnified map of the Navia Mountains appeared in front of her eyes, and after corresponding, she could see a red dot flashing on the snow.

The high-altitude current deflected her towards her destination, and she fine-tuned her movements, adjusting the folds of her thermal suit with perfect control of her limbs, using them as gliding wings for a bird.

The petite figure is like a snow elf, flying freely in the sky.

In just ten seconds, she crossed the 5,000-meter warning line. Without taking any deceleration measures, it only takes 45 seconds for a person to fall from 10,000 meters, but once the parachute is opened, this time will be It will increase more than ten times.

Generally speaking, high-altitude skydiving will open the parachute at 2000-5000 meters. It is usually not allowed to be lower than 2000 meters, otherwise problems will easily occur. The extreme high speed will leave you too late to react. If you open the parachute too late, you will not have time to slow down, and you will fall. When it reaches the ground, it turns into a puddle of meat.

But after opening the parachute, it is impossible to control your own position, and a slight gust of wind can lead you astray.

In order to land accurately, Zero calmly waited for his body to fall, and the originally distant scenery quickly zoomed in.

3000 meters, 2000 meters, 1500 meters.

She is still waiting. Internationally, airborne troops usually drop from a height of 400 to 800 meters. They open their parachutes when they jump. The lower the height of a parachute, the lower the risk. It can also reduce the time in the air, and can fly below 300 meters and 1,000 meters. Those who skydive above 10 meters are classified as special forces.

But Zero was very calm and did not open his parachute until the height exceeded the limit of 800 meters.

Even if the umbrella was wide open, it could not catch her body that was falling like a rocket.

If you have studied physics, you will know that deceleration requires a process, and the force of the parachute cannot provide her with much help at this speed, but at the same time, it also protects her from the interference of the airflow, although the force from the side will make her Offset, but as long as the landing time is short enough, she won't be affected much.

Finally, when she was about to reach the ground, the sky suddenly changed and turned into a dark red color, but her communication with Su Enxi was still connected.

She saw Lu Mingfei standing on the golden road, and the gray and calm sea.

"I'm here!" Lu Mingfei waved to her and shouted, "Don't fall into the water! The water is very dangerous!"

"Have you seen Lu Mingfei?" Su Enxi's voice came through the headset.

"I entered the Nibelung." Zero tried hard to adjust her body, but the speed was too fast, and there was no airflow around her. She couldn't control herself at all without the help of strength.

But suddenly, her body suddenly drifted sideways.

A grappling hook grabbed her parachute bag and yanked her toward the golden path.

Lu Mingfei used his magical prosthetic hand and grabbed Ling like a doll.

He caught Zero and placed her on the golden pillar.

"You are finally here. I have been waiting for a long time." Lu Mingfei touched the bronze scales on his back that were the size of a washbasin. "We have found the things. How should we get out now?"

"Wait, let me ask." Zero took off the parachute bag and said into the headset: "Potato Chips, I found Lu Mingfei, what should I do next?"

"Still calculating!" Su Enxi's anxious voice came from the mask: "Damn it! The time is too short! Where is the exit! Where is it!"

"Damn it! You came in before you even found the exit!" Lu Mingfei opened his mouth and said in surprise: "Aren't you professionals!"

"No matter how professional you are, no one has ever entered the Nibelungen!" Su Enxi said cursingly.

Cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Dusk was about to end. The sun had set in the dark night, and the light was almost dark. There were stars in the sky, and the moon poked its head out.

Suddenly, a violently fluctuating point appeared on her computer screen, right next to Zero and Lu Mingfei's locators.

"Exit! This is the exit!" She used the program to calculate and said ecstatically: "I found the exit! It's right next to you!"

"I seem to have seen it." Lu Mingfei said.

A vague cloud appeared on the gray sea without warning, and at the same time, the wedge pill in the scabbard made a buzzing vibration, as if guiding Lu Mingfei to go there.

"That's it." The spot marked by Su Enxi has appeared on Zero's mask.

"Hurry! That exit is very unstable!" Su Enxi shouted at the two of them, "It may be that the space fluctuation caused by the separation from the present world will disappear soon!"

"But it's on the Gray Sea, and we can't get through." Lu Mingfei said, "This is the country of the dead. I tried it when I first came in, and everything in this water will sink at a constant speed."

"The Sea of ​​Death, only dead things can float on it." Zero took off the Zorro Bear from his waist.

"This is..." Lu Mingfei felt that this stuffed bear looked very familiar.

"Agata!" Zero called her friends' names and whistled.

Lu Mingfei remembered that when she was escaping in the far north ice field, Renata had this wombat on her waist, and Agata was the name of those sled dogs!

A sled car appeared in front of us from the virtual reality. A dozen sled dogs stepped on the gray sea, the frost was frozen, and a thin layer of ice formed on the sea. The old sled car carrying Deshka 1938, Standing on the sea of ​​death, but not sinking.

The dogs barked, and Zero jumped onto the sled and pulled the reins.

Things from the past come back to life, a sea of ​​death where only death can float, these dogs and this sled that appears out of thin air.

"Come up quickly."

Lu Mingfei didn't have time to think too much and immediately climbed onto the sleigh he had been riding on before.

Zero waved the reins, and the dogs immediately pulled the car towards the fog. A path of ice and snow was left on the gray sea. The car sank into the fog. The cold wind howled, and the dark red light disappeared. Through the clouds, they Finally appeared again in this world.

The dogs are running happily on the ice field, the bright moon rises, the cold moon is as white as ice flakes, the snowflakes like the down of young swans fall, the quiet sky is dotted with diamond-like stars, and the icicles condensed on the withered branches are like glass Just as transparent, the cold wind is turbulent and heavy.

"Are we out?" Lu Mingfei looked behind him and saw nothing, but the heavy scales on his back reminded him that the Nibelungs were real.

Zero didn't say a word, just quietly watching the dogs running freely on the snowy field.

She took off her mask, and her almost pure white blond hair was ruffled by the cold wind and looked like silver satin under the moonlight.

She raised her right hand and waved it hard at the dogs, as if to say: Run, run freely, nothing can stop you.

Shilan High School, 10:30 pm.

Lu Mingze ended his evening self-study.

Shilan High School has always had a night self-study system, but it is usually only for boarding students. Day students can leave in the afternoon, and boarding students have to attend until 10:30.

After this summer vacation, the school fully promoted evening self-study.

"Tomorrow is the seventh mock test, everyone, be prepared." The head teacher stood up from the desk, packed up his books, and pushed up his glasses.

This is a very young class teacher, who looks about 30 years old. He has middle-parted hair, a formal suit, black-rimmed glasses, and a blue teacher badge on his chest. He looks somewhat handsome.

"Oh, I have another exam"

“It’s so annoying, I have to move the table”

"I hope the final math question this time can be a little simpler. It took me half an hour to solve the last one. It was so uncomfortable."

There were a lot of groans in the class.

"Okay, don't complain." The head teacher said: "I have good news for you. The evening self-study on December 30th is cancelled. The school will hold a New Year's Day party. I will give you three days off this New Year's Day. I will give you less homework. At one o'clock, go back and relax."

"Oh yeah!"

"It's a New Year's Day party. It's a pity that senior brother Chu Zihang has graduated. I really want to hear him play the violin again."

"Senior Sister Liu Miaomiao's piano music is also very nice. I heard that she is currently studying at Tsinghua University."

When it comes to the party, everyone is in a much better mood.

"Wait until the exam is over before you're happy. Don't get too excited." The head teacher gave a rare smile and said, "Lu Mingze, come to the office with me."

"Okay, Teacher Wang." Lu Mingze nodded, stood up from his seat, and followed the young class teacher to the office.

Their class is the Rocket Sprint Class for seniors in Shilan High School. It gathers a group of people with the best grades in the entire high school. Every year, there are several Tsinghua and Peking University graduates from this class. If you want to be a class teacher in this class, you must have enough teaching qualifications. Or graduate from a prestigious school. Ordinary high school teachers require at least a 211 undergraduate degree, and Shilan High School’s teacher entry examination requires a 985 graduate degree to register.

After all, Shilan High School is the most famous private aristocratic school in the city. The annual tuition fee alone is 100,000 yuan, and there are extra costs to pay the high price. People like Su Xiaoqiang, who have a family with a mine, send their children to study here. It is enough to know how rich the teaching resources of Shilan High School are.

There is a lot of money to be made as a teacher here just from the gifts from parents.

"Ning Ze, you took the first place in the class last time in the exam and ranked third in the whole grade." The head teacher smiled and patted Xiao Chuangzhi on the shoulder, "You have made a lot more progress than you did last semester. That's it. New Year's Day The school requires each of our classes to prepare a program for the party. I heard that you have studied piano. Are you willing to perform on stage? How about our class’ program be a piano solo."

The New Year's Day party is a tradition of Shilan High School. Unlike other schools, here, the seats for performing on stage are very popular, and many people sign up every time.

Reality is not a movie. People who want to send their children to aristocratic schools like "Yangtze River No. 7" can't say that they don't exist, but at least they don't exist in Shilan High School. The children who can study here have good family conditions, basically. I have been taking interest classes since I was a child. If you pick up anyone in the corridor of the school, they will show you their skills in the talent show. There are many people who are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Moreover, the school spirit of Shilan High School is relatively open, and they will not particularly catch men and women who are in love, so the New Year's Day party becomes an opportunity to express yourself, and the chance of being single will be greatly increased after attending the party.

For example, Liu Miaomiao and Chu Zihang gradually became famous after the first New Year's Day party. Parents also want to see their children perform on the stage. Many people will give gifts and red envelopes to their class teachers, just for the sake of it. This is a spot to perform on stage.

And the head teacher actually wanted to give this opportunity directly to Lu Mingze, which was enough to show how lovable the little chubby paper was in his heart recently.

Moreover, there is a hidden list in Shilan High School, "This Bullshit List". For this list, people who have never been to the New Year's Day Party basically have no chance of being on the list.

There is only one exception, and that is this year's dark horse, Lu Mingfei, who won the title of "The Killing List" with his inexplicable study abroad certificate and the legend of being picked up by hot girls in Ferrari.

"I understand, Teacher Wang, I will go down and prepare." Lu Mingze nodded.

"Then it's settled, it's not too late, go back and have a rest early." The head teacher said with a smile: "Come on for the exam, perform normally, and stabilize your mentality."

"I will review carefully." Lu Mingze said.

He returned to the classroom to pack his schoolbag, and his classmates gathered around him and asked him, "What did Lao Wang ask you to do?"

"It must be a good thing. Look at Lao Wang's wretched smile. Our 'Prince Ze' did so well in the exam. He probably got another bonus. And I heard that he is competing for the spot in the selection of outstanding teachers. This mock test If our class can still beat Class 11, then this thing will probably happen, and he will definitely have to provide for Prince Ze."

The classmates crowded over chattering.

Lu Mingze used to enjoy this feeling, being regarded as the center of everyone.

But in the past, classmates gathered around him because of the pocket money in his pocket. Now, they gather around him because he became famous in one fell swoop. He jumped from the middle position to the top of the class like a rocket, and soon there was another Tsinghua and Peking University student in the class. of seedlings.

Of course there is no shortcut to this. Only he knows how much effort he has put into studying in private.

In order to study in the United States and see the sunset, he has been transformed!

"It's nothing, it's not a big deal. I just asked me to play the piano on stage at the New Year's Day party. I have to leave first. My parents are still waiting for me outside." He stood up, put on his schoolbag, and walked out of the classroom door, only for his classmates. They left a sharp silhouette behind.

"Do you feel that 'Prince Ze' has changed a lot?"

"Indeed, they didn't even invite us out for dinner."

"I feel like he was dumped, but he hasn't been in love at all, right?"

"."

The students started discussing again in the classroom.

Lu Mingze had already walked downstairs and was rushing towards the school gate with the crowd leaving the school.

There is a security guard at the door, and everyone must swipe their student ID card when entering or exiting. Parents can check their children's entry and exit status on their mobile phones. Only day students can swipe their cards. Resident students are strictly prohibited from going out except on weekends.

Lu Mingze saw his mother at the door.

"Come on, son, this is rock sugar and white fungus soup made by mom. It's still hot."

"Yes." Lu Mingze took the thermos cup and found that it was not cold in his hand.

I unscrewed the lid of the cup and took a sip. The lubricated white fungus slipped into my mouth. When I swallowed it, I felt a warm and sweet feeling in my stomach.

They came to the little BMW parked on the roadside. Since he started studying at night, his father would drive to pick him up every day. His mother would also come with him and prepare some anti-cold soups such as white fungus soup and ginger soup. If necessary, I will buy him a KFC or barbecue.

"Teacher Wang said that I would be allowed to perform on stage and play the piano at the New Year's Day party." Lu Mingze said after getting in the car.

As soon as I entered the car, the hot air from the air conditioner warmed my whole body, as well as the warm white fungus soup, and I didn't feel cold at all.

"He is indeed my son. He is much better than your good-for-nothing cousin." His mother hugged his fat face and kissed him.

"Mingfei is studying abroad now, and our son also wants to go abroad." Dad stepped on the accelerator, and the little BMW drove into the middle of the road.

"You just go to that kid, right?" Mom frowned, "Tell me, how can Lu Mingfei compare to our son? He always runs to that shabby Internet cafe all day long, doing nothing. If it weren't for Lu Lincheng and Qiao Niwei , Why can he study abroad? He had a hard time getting an undergraduate degree."

Dad immediately shrank his head and did not dare to speak.

My mother is always like this, and she really doesn't like my cousin, or maybe I can't stand my cousin's parents.

Before, he would definitely have said a few words to Shan Lu Mingfei.

I always felt annoyed by my cousin. He had to install an extra bed in his own room, leaving no personal space at all. He also had to fight for the toilet, TV, and computer. His reputation in the school was very special. No, there are always people comparing "Lu Shaozi" with him, "Prince Ze", and ridiculing him in various ways.

Now, maybe it's because he treated me to late-night snacks many times, so it doesn't bother him anymore.

Occasionally I turn on my computer and watch anime, but I usually stop after watching a few episodes and go to bed.

After all, we have lived together for 7 or 8 years, and it’s a bit uncomfortable to be gone for a while.

"Mom, let's go to Aspasia for dinner on January 3rd." Lu Mingze suddenly said, "We will have three days off on New Year's Day this time, and the day students will not go to school until the 4th."

"Okay, it's all up to you." Mom stopped her unpleasant words and came over to hold Lu Mingze's hand: "I thought you had forgotten about this matter. I have been putting it off for several months and haven't had time. Mom is waiting. I’ll go back and call to reserve a seat next time.”

Lu Mingze nodded and looked out the window.

My cousin will be back on January 1st, and they won’t go out for dinner until the 3rd. At that time, I can just ask my mother to call and change the seat to a four-seater. It’s just like giving back the late night snack. After all, it’s him who has the opportunity to go to Aspasia for dinner. Earned by achievements.

If you tell your mother directly that your cousin is coming, she will definitely be furious. It won't be that she won't let her go, but she will definitely say some harsh words that will put everyone in a bad mood.

But if she happened to catch up, it would be natural. What she fears most is that others will look down on her and care about face. After all, if she leaves her cousin at home and the neighbors find out, they will gossip about her.

After returning home, Lu Mingze took a shower and went to bed, then took out his mobile phone from under the pillow.

He opened QQ and checked whether "The Inscription of the Sunset" had sent a message to "The Lonely Snake".

Sure enough, it still didn't happen, but he still took his mobile phone and typed to "Sunset" and talked about the New Year's Day party.

This has become a habit, like keeping a diary.

He knew that the chance of him meeting "Sunset" was very slim. Now it was more of an obsession. He was afraid that if he gave up this idea, he would no longer be able to study hard.

After typing as usual, he was about to go to bed, but suddenly, a friend request popped up.

"User [Ghoul] has sent you a friend request. Do you want to accept it?"

"【whether】"

It also comes with a verification message: "I know who you're looking for."

You can tell at a glance that he is an Internet scammer, and he said, "I know who you are looking for." Did you know that I am looking for NM?

The fluorescence of the phone illuminated the disdainful smile on the little fat paper's face. He clicked to accept, preparing to have a good fight with the liar.

"Do you want to know who [Sunset] is?"

The moment he accepted the friend, the guy with a blank profile picture sent his first message.

Little Fatty's smile suddenly solidified.

"Who are you? What [Sunset], I don't recognize."

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you have been kept in the dark. Don't you want to know the truth?"

Thanks to "The Strongest Xiaoqiang" for the 100-point reward, and "Book Friends 20190105205313934" for the 100-point reward.
