Chapter 421 Nihilism

Lu Mingfei walked into the ward. The room was heated, and he felt much warmer as soon as he entered.

The curtains were open, and the lighting was very good. It shone on that little face like white porcelain, adding a sense of vitality.

Lu Mingfei lifted a stool and sat down next to the hospital bed. He and the boy on the bed were the only ones in the room. The boy lay quietly on the plain white bed with an intravenous drip on his wrist.

Lu Mingfei looked carefully at this delicate face that was between a man and a woman, and was a little reluctant to wake him up.

But those unclear things must be clarified eventually. After sitting for a while, he softly called the name.

"Lu Mingze, the sun is shining on your butt."

There was a cold wind blowing on my neck, and a young male voice came from behind.

"Brother, since when did you think I was sleeping?"

Lu Mingfei turned around and saw a boy in a thin hospital gown sitting on the window sill with a joking smile on his face.

"Are you awake?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"The best amount of sleep a day is eight hours. If you sleep less than eight hours, you will be in low spirits, and if you sleep too much, you will feel drowsy. Occasionally, I will get up and blow in the wind like this." Lu Mingze held an apple in his hand, which was ripe. There are crystal drops of water on the apple skin.

The breeze blew his bangs, and he took a bite and chewed it deliciously.

"Be careful of catching a cold due to the strong wind in winter." Lu Mingfei turned the stool over and looked at him.

"Ah, that's really bad. I have to get injections and take medicine when I catch a cold. I hate injections and taking medicine." Lu Mingze's tone sounded like he was reading aloud from a text.

"The injection on the butt won't hurt that much. The doctor can help you grind the pills into flour, add some sugar and water to drink."

"I'm so touched, brother, that you are so considerate." Lu Mingze threw the apple core into the trash can: "So why did you come to me today? Well, I know it even if you don't tell me. "

"I just want to come visit you, can't I?"

"Don't you know what patients hate most is interruptions from unrelated people?"

"So I'm an irrelevant person?"

"How is that possible? I welcome your arrival." Lu Mingze wiped his hands on the hospital gown and clapped his hands.

"Yesterday, I went to see the history of the Dragon Clan." Lu Mingfei looked at him.

"What's so interesting about that kind of thing? If you have this little time, you might as well watch an island country movie and appreciate the new teacher."

"Old Tang and the others are very afraid of you. They tremble when they hear your name." Lu Mingfei said.

"There's nothing I can do about it. In fact, I have a very broad mind and I never hold grudges. You can tell me that I, my lord, have forgiven them a lot."

"Really?"

"Fake."

"."

"Don't look at me with that look. If you knew what those guys did, you wouldn't forgive them. But you can reassure them that I won't do anything. What I have to do has already been done. , none of them can escape, and they can still stay outside safely now, isn’t that enough proof of my attitude?"

"So...are you really the 'Black King'?"

"Do you think I look like the 'Black King' like this?" Lu Mingze tugged at the plain white hospital clothes on his body.

"First of all, let me confirm one thing. You don't have any thoughts about Old Tang and the others."

"Although I still want to dig out their hearts and spines, brother, you said so, there is no other way. However, it is best not to bring them to me. After all, out of sight, out of mind, if they If you run up to me, I might suddenly change my mind." Lu Mingze said in a childish tone.

"Tear out the heart and spine. You are too cruel." Lu Mingfei took a breath of air.

"Is it vicious? That woman from Jörmungandr dug out my eyes. Just like this."

Lu Mingze's eyes turned into oozing blood holes, and two streaks of blood flowed down the sides of his cheeks, like tears shed in pain.

He walked over and moved his hands around Lu Mingfei's joints.

"Brother, have you ever heard of a human pig? Cut off a person's limbs from the middle so that he can only lie on all fours like a pig. Cut off his tongue and he can only make a grunting sound. Goug out his eyes. , he will be in darkness forever, throw such an artificial 'pig' into the smelly pit, and finally let it rot in the stench. This is the 'human pig'. Do you think this is invented by you humans? Punishment?"

Lu Mingze smiled.

"Compared to dragons, human beings can be considered a kind-hearted species. After all, human life is so fragile and can die easily, but dragons are different. Dragons have strong resilience. In other words, dragons His endurance is very strong, both mentally and physically, he is very tough and not easily broken."

Lu Mingfei felt the cold fingers of Lu Mingze touching his skin, and felt a chill all over his body.

"Don't be so nervous, brother." Lu Mingze helped Lu Mingfei squeeze his shoulders: "Let me popularize one more knowledge for you. Sacrifice is a very ancient custom that can be traced back to a long time ago. There is a kind of living person To perform sacrifices, one must open the stomachs of the sacrifices while they are still alive and use the fresh entrails for divination.”

"It would be a waste to kill several people at once, and sometimes even young and beautiful girls. It would be great if there were people whose internal organs could be regenerated, right? Brother, in this way, he would be used as a sacrifice every time. It is environmentally friendly and economical, which is really gratifying.”

Lu Mingfei let out a long sigh, and his mood suddenly became a little heavy.

"It's not easy for you either."

"It's not easy for any creature in this world. Didn't you also experience the hardships of living in that place called Ashina?"

"Speaking of which, I met 'Kuro' at the shelter. What happened?"

"It's nothing. I just pulled the dead man back from the underworld and had a fair duel with him. However, that guy was surprisingly strong. I didn't know before that Nighogg was really moving. A lot of hands and feet.”

"You said 'Kuro'. Is he a dead person?"

"Yes, you don't think you have traveled to another world, do you? How is it possible? Unless you achieve the authority of 'Tai Yi', it will never be possible to break through the 'barrier'. After all, things that only happen in our world happen here, Can see the past and change things in the world of cause and effect."

"What's the meaning?"

"In other words, the man named Jiuro has died a long time ago, but his soul still has a shape in the sea, so I can find a way to make his soul live again, but it is really easy to disturb the dead. Regarding retribution, it’s better to do it as little as possible.”

"Although I have thought about this possibility, but hearing it from your mouth, I feel like my hope has been shattered." Lu Mingfei lay on his back and looked up at Lu Mingze's scary face.

This face is really suitable for a horror movie. The actors don’t even need to move, just standing there is scary enough.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei had seen hell and could face such a scene without changing his expression.

Lu Mingfei stared at the eyes with only blood holes, and reached out his hand to touch the blood-stained face.

He didn't feel scared, he just thought that the bleeding wound must be very painful.

It must be very painful to not be able to see anything.

Just when his hand was about to touch the face, he was suddenly slapped away by Lu Mingze.

"It's so boring. This doesn't even scare you." Lu Mingze turned back into the delicate boy, slumped his shoulders and sat down on the hospital bed in disappointment.

"Are what you said just now a lie?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Who knows." Lu Mingze lay on the pillow with his hands behind his head: "But let me tell you a good thing. That guy named Jiulang lived a happy life for the rest of his life. Then The guy, his ninjas, and the woman went to the East to return the 'Dragon Yin', and then found a place to live in seclusion and lived peacefully until their death.

Decades of life, for a dragon, is just a snap of the fingers, but it is still fulfilling for him. At least he died with a smile when he died. Hearing this, do you feel a little better? If not Just think that I made up what I just said. "

"Really?" Lu Mingfei supported the bench: "But why did I run there?"

"It would have been impossible for this kind of thing to happen to you when you were still outside, but now that it has happened, just treat it as inevitable."

"I still have something to ask. What are Longyin and Yinglong?"

"What do you think Long Yin's role is?"

"Resurrection from the dead."

"No, to be more precise, it is the power of 'life', which gives dead things the power of 'life' and allows living things to maintain their 'live' state. Therefore, 'Long Yin' represents 'life'."

"That Sakura Dragon"

"You should be able to react after reading the history of the Dragon Clan. It's covered in wood. It looks like it was born from a 'tree'."

"Is Ashina involved in some conspiracy?"

"I think too much. It can only take a few hundred years at most. For Nighogg, for beings like you and me, it is just a short moment. A few humans who have survived for less than 100 years, and a few thousand How does a civilization that will be destroyed in a year have the right to be remembered? Everything will perish, and in the end what will be left is nothingness. Even we will not be remembered." Lu Mingze said lightly.

"What exactly are you and me?" Lu Mingfei looked at him.

"Don't you have the answer in your heart?" Lu Mingze asked him.

"No matter what your choice is in the end, just go ahead with that choice. I won't interfere with you. Although I am more nihilistic, at least at this moment, we can still feel our existence, right?"

"So the most important thing is not what you are, but what you want to be."

"How many years have passed since [are you a human] and [do you want to live as a human]? Brother, haven't you figured this out yet?"

Lu Mingze looked at him quietly for a long time.

Neither of them spoke, and the ward was deathly silent.

Finally, Lu Mingze spoke:

"You are still the same as before, leaving me alone and leaving me only sadness and sadness."

The bubbles lying on the hospital bed disappeared as if blown away by the wind.

When Lu Mingfei blinked again, he only saw the boy who seemed to be sleeping. Unknowingly, only half of the intravenous fluid inserted into the boy's wrist was left.

Lu Mingfei stayed in the ward all day and never heard the boy talking to him again.

I always feel like a naughty child.

If a child is bullied by a group of people in the class at school and finally finds a chance to take revenge, his closest and most trusted family members come back to persuade him that those who bullied you have changed their ways and that the past is past. Let's get over it. After hearing such words, the child will definitely lock himself in the room and not come out.

He actually doesn't want to hear any truth, he just wants you to support him, and he just wants you to go with him and beat the hell out of those who bullied him.

But I'm sorry.

Lu Mingfei sighed softly, touched the forehead of the boy on the hospital bed, turned and left the ward.

He had to go, because there were still people waiting for him to go back for dinner.

After all, he is just Lu Mingfei.

December 30, Cologne, Germany.

Tomorrow is the last day of 2010, which represents the end of this year.

Everyone is preparing to welcome the new year.

In the Cologne Cathedral, the children formed a band, holding harmonicas and accordions, standing on the steps to rehearse the music to be played tonight.

Tomorrow night, children will line up to perform in the street, and many people will gather to wish the New Year.

From December 31st to January 1st, they are the only days when Germany can relax restrictions on fireworks.

The Germans' custom of welcoming the New Year is very similar to the Chinese New Year's Eve. They believe that evil ghosts and gods will come out to do evil on December 31st and roll burning wooden wheels into the valleys, using flowerpots, rattles and other devices to make them. The noise drove away ghosts, and later drums and trumpets were added, and hunters could also fire their guns that night. By the 21st century, it had evolved into an annual fireworks feast.

Uesugoshi, who was sitting in the church, glanced around and saw that most people had joy and anticipation for the upcoming New Year on their faces.

The gray-haired old man held a Bible, made a cross on his chest, closed his eyes and prayed.

Then he stood up, put on his dark hat, and walked straight out of the church.

"Do you want to consider becoming a Christian?" Uesugi asked Minamoto who was standing at the entrance of the church.

"Forget it, dad." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head: "I don't believe in God."

"It's a pity. Having faith is a good thing. It can help you persevere when you can't."

"I don't want to place my expectations on illusory gods."

"Child, God is not illusory." Uesugoshi lowered the brim of his dark hat.

The two got into a black Mercedes-Benz and drove off the street.

"They should be here," Uesugi asked.

"I just received the contact, Zhinv has already received them." Yuan Zhisheng said.

"It seems that our family can get together to welcome the New Year this year." Uesugoshi rolled down the window: "Let's go and say hello to our in-laws. I hope they are satisfied with our daughter."
