Chapter 338 329 Old Friend
Chapter 338 329. Old Friend
"You will never experience anything that happened before." Lu Mingfei stroked Eri's smooth and delicate cheek. He felt that this world was really lonely and boundless. When the girl talked about Hongjing, her eyes seemed to be filled with clouds.
He never asked Eri when she came back to the present. He only knew that this little monster, who was more stubborn than anyone else and would never let go of anyone, was a person who came back to the present from a certain time in the future, just like him.
Talking about the experience in another world is to explore the so-called fate, and fate is such a grand topic that it seems that human power can never touch it.
It feels like,
You look up and look up along the white waves that are connected to the sky, but you can't see the crest of the oncoming torrent; you look down and only realize that it is towering above the abyss, not connected to the sky and earth, and it is as deep as the abyss at a glance.
The facts are constantly telling Lu Mingfei a truth. You know how fate will kill you, but you can't avoid it. You can only hold the sword tightly and fight your fate, even if every blade is bloody and even if your heart is pierced.
Just like what Hector said to his wife in Homer's epic.
"In this life, whether a person is cowardly or brave, he cannot escape his destined fate."
Lu Mingfei deeply agrees with this, but he thinks that some people know what will happen in the future, but are unwilling to let those sad fates repeat themselves.
So that person desperately tried to snatch something back from the hands of fate, not caring that he was already covered in bruises.
It seems that Lu Mingfei's words touched Eri, and the girl hugged him tighter. She was warm, but her body was trembling slightly, as if as soon as she let go, the person she had waited for so many years and endured so much loneliness would disappear.
Lu Mingfei reached out and patted Eri's back. He thought to himself that you are indeed growing up, and you are also learning the not-so-beautiful and not-so-satisfactory rules of this world, but there are still many things that have not changed.
It's like the evening when we watched the sea in Meijin Temple Town a long time ago. The light of the setting sun faded in your eyes, the wind made the abandoned Ferris wheel creak and turn slowly, and the clustered trees swayed like a swaggering sea.
You never said how much you like me, and you may not even know what love is, but in fact, everyone can see what you want, because those things are clearly written on your face.
You don't have to tell me your fear, you don't have to repeatedly emphasize your love for me, and you don't have to ask me if I still love you.
I will always be by your side when you are afraid. Our love is a reunion through fate. Who can take all this away from you?
Whoever wants to take away what you cherish, whoever wants to take you away from me, we will...
Kill him!
Amid the sound of rain and snow came the low laughter of the little devil, distant and desolate, like the wind blowing through the wilderness.
"Please believe me this time." Lu Mingfei leaned over to Eri's ear and whispered.
He hesitated and hesitated, the biggest question in his heart was always on the tip of his tongue but he was unwilling to say it.
He was afraid that Eri had experienced everything in Hongjing, and he was also afraid that his guilt would pierce through both of them like a sharp sword.
In the end, even though Lu Mingfei has become a completely different person now after so many years, his shoulders are broad enough to carry the hopes and trust of many people, and he is always strong and hard, showing his strongest side in front of everyone, but he is still the dead child with a cowardly soul in his heart.
If Eri said to Sakura, I was very scared at that time, but you must be on the way to find me, it's all my fault that I couldn't wait until you found me, it's all my fault that Sakura was sad.
Lu Mingfei must feel that he is indeed a complete coward and bastard.
He still remembered the evening in Meijin Temple Town. When Eri summoned up the courage to hug him, Lu Mingfei was thinking about the riverside full of lotus flowers and thick fog. He did not choose Eri.
In the room with broken arcs under the hazy sky, the two people hugging were speechless like ancient stone sculptures.
But suddenly Lu Mingfei looked up and realized that something was approaching, not the corridor outside the suite, nor the staff passage.
But in the sky.
The roar of the engine like a dragon's roar approached rapidly from the depths of the clouds. It was a huge armed helicopter that even Lu Mingfei had never seen. Its shadow appeared in the sky opposite Lu Mingfei's room almost at the same time when Lu Mingfei realized this steel monster.
The thing stopped there in an extremely violent posture. The thick black anti-ground aircraft cannon protruded from the bottom of the fuselage. The helicopter rotor screamed and smashed the ice crystals. It was like several sharp giant swords combined together, spinning out a sharp phantom without being affected by the severe cold weather.
The bright xenon lamp was suddenly lit, and a huge circular spot of light was cast on the ivory-white window screen. Lu Mingfei and Eri squinted their eyes at the same time.
"Specialist Lu Mingfei, I will assist you and your team to the mission target codenamed True Red Land. Please go to the helicopter pad on your current floor to assemble immediately. You have ten minutes to prepare before departure." A man's voice was connected to Lu Mingfei's private channel. It was obvious that the special agent in the executive department who was responsible for sending Lu Mingfei and his team to Tama River finally couldn't think of a way to get out of the congested Tokyo streets at this moment, so he called on a large military equipment of the academy here.
Seriously, that helicopter looked even bigger than the Super Stallion, and its firepower was much greater than that of the Apache. It looked like the work of the Equipment Department. If it were sold, it would definitely be an epoch-making military vehicle.
Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, straightened his collar, and looked at Eri.
"I'm leaving. Don't worry. No one in Japan can hurt me." He said, kissing the girl's smooth forehead.
The black helicopter rotated its blades and slowly moved to the left while descending.
Neither Lu Mingfei nor the specialist on the helicopter realized that in the minute they were talking, behind the thick curtains in the next room, there was a single-soldier missile and an assault rifle pointing to the sky.
That was Chu Zihang's room. The bilateral relationship between the president and vice president of the Lionheart Club has been progressing rapidly in recent days, so it is not surprising that they live together. They are all killer embryos who can join the Lionheart Club. The roar of the heavy helicopter engine may not wake up Nuonuo, who is sleeping like a pig, from a distance of dozens of meters, but it is obviously not difficult to wake up Chu Zihang and Susie.
It was a sensitive period, the helicopter was of unknown origin, and the school emblem of Kassel College could not be seen on the black fuselage. In addition, Chu Zihang and Susie were not on the list of characters in the True Red Earth Operation, and the crew members' communication channels would not communicate with them by radio. The two killers had no time to verify the identity of the visitors.
Driving a heavy-core armed helicopter, they used aircraft cannons to suppress and fire at the presidential suite of the Peninsula Hotel in Tokyo. In just one minute, the giant cannon and the onboard machine guns could pour out hundreds of kilograms of ammunition. In that case, Chu Zihang couldn't think of any words that could keep them alive except for the Dustless Land and the Bronze Throne.
Coincidentally, the Eight Snakes and the Fierce Ghosts at this time looked like lunatics who could do such a thing.
They no longer cared about going to war with the academy. The army of the secret party was coming from all directions. In another forty hours, the city of Tokyo would become a dragon's nest.
Anyway, it was a fight to the death, and the trump card of killing the opponent in advance did look like something the Japanese could do, just like when they attacked Pearl Harbor many years ago.
It was not until the plane turned off the xenon lights that Chu Zihang saw the ancient emblem on the black fuselage with a dark brown color close to black through the blurred light and shadow in the sky of broken crystals.
It was a world tree.
Half dead and half alive, the black branches spread upward along the side of the fuselage, like black vines, and like ancient mysterious tattoos.
Lu Mingfei stopped, and his clothes were held by Eriyi, so Lu Mingfei looked back.
"I'll take you." Eriyi said. She spoke concisely and clearly, but her voice was always soft and sticky, not as cold and murderous as many people imagined.
Or, she has always been such a gentle person in front of Lu Mingfei. She never wanted Lu Mingfei to see her violent side. Whenever she used her power, she felt that the evil ghost from the ancient times was patrolling the world through her body. Whoever the evil ghost said to die, that person would die.
Sometimes she would also think that if Lu Mingfei saw the evil ghost in her body, he would never like her again.
Eri still doesn't understand one thing: those who accompany the devil will only become the devil in the end.
Lu Mingfei touched Eri's hair, nodded, waved his hand to let the girl stand up, asked her to turn around, and unbuttoned the back of her nightgown, which was a bit delicate and troublesome to put on. Then this dress that was only suitable for wearing in the bedroom was taken off. In the darkness, the girl's beautiful body flashed by, and Lu Mingfei could only vaguely see the waist curve that could be grasped and the shoulders that glowed in the broken light.
Then he immediately put a sweater on Eri to keep warm and the black windbreaker of Nono that had been hanging on the hanger.
There was a glimmer in Eri's eyes. She was surprised and turned around barefoot in front of Lu Mingfei, pressing her fingers on his palms, as if she was dancing. The hem of her windbreaker was flying and spreading like a blooming flower. She was tall and slender, with her ankles and tight and slender calves, which were the best scenery. The nightgown was scattered on the bed, like a colorful feather coat.
"Very cool." Eri stopped and panted slightly.
She had always envied Lu Mingfei and her brother for being able to wear black windbreakers and go out to do big things that ordinary people would never get involved in. The men's open windbreakers revealed tailor-made suits, and the lining was colorful, like the most arrogant ukiyo-e in the world.
It looked so cool, just like the contrasting male protagonists in anime who went out to slay demons and evil spirits during the day and went home to make a loving dinner for their little wives at night.
But every time she went shopping with Xia Mi, Eriyi never had the chance to try on a windbreaker. She never told Xia Mi what she wanted to wear.
It was probably some kind of shyness at work.
Lu Mingfei smiled, took Eriyi's hand and asked her to follow him, and Eriyi obeyed without hesitation.
Caesar and Chu Zihang's room was still quiet. I guess they were also gathering their strength for the Jiyuan operation.
Lu Mingfei was not worried about any accidents happening to his senior brother and Caesar. Since the attack at Haneda Airport, Ange had been staying on his private plane. The steel behemoth named Sleipnir silently shuttled through the clouds above the city of Tokyo. It did not make much sound, but it made the Eight Snake Families and the Demonic Clan always have difficulty breathing when they looked up, as if the thugs who could kill them could fall from the sky at any time.
The principal first came to Tokyo at the invitation of Lu Mingfei. When he implemented the Kuimen Plan to enter the Bronze City, he promised to meet one of Lu Mingfei's requests.
This request was undoubtedly to protect Eri's safety for this year.
But now Xia Mi and Constantine are almost inseparable from Eri.
Jörmungandr, the most powerful dragon king in human form, and Constantine, who once held the highest authority in the world, can still call on the elements of fire and metal to crawl in front of him even though he has fallen from the altar.
With them, who in the world can hurt Eri?
Odin?
That clown-like, insidious and cunning thing will be torn into pieces.
Ange can spare a few days or even more time to focus on Takamagahara and the God's Burial Ground. He rides Sleipnir and wanders like a ghost in the sky above Tokyo. He can arrive at any place in an instant if an accident occurs.
The King of Sky and Wind, Hilbert Jean Ange, has never shown his speed in front of anyone, but who knows that the so-called miraculous time zero is just a leisurely stroll of the King of Wind.
Someone is already waiting in the corridor. Nono wrapped herself in a camel-colored cashmere coat, leaning against the wall with a croissant in her mouth. She saw Lu Mingfei walking out of the suite holding Eri's hand, with a suspicious expression on her face.
Lu Mingfei smiled awkwardly and wanted to explain, but Eri was holding his arm tightly.
Nono took out another croissant from her pocket and handed it to Lu Mingfei, then tore the one she was holding in her mouth in the middle and gave half to Eri.
The red-haired little witch looked at him with some scrutiny. She said nothing, but her beautiful nose moved and a smile appeared on her face.
"Are you going to take Eri with you?" she asked.
"No, we can go by ourselves." Lu Mingfei said, "I didn't see Christina and Qilan."
"We've already arrived at the helipad, waiting for you." Nono shrugged, "Do you have a weapon?"
Lu Mingfei rolled up his sleeves to show Nono the lust tied to his arm. Nono nodded and continued to deal with her croissants.
The wind and snow were strong on the helipad, and the helicopter's rotors were wrapped in fierce snow dust. Nono glanced at Lu Mingfei and climbed into the cabin first. Lu Mingfei touched Eri's head.
"Go back and get into Xia Mi's bed." He said, "I'll be back soon!" He said loudly to cover the roar of the engine.
Eri stood on tiptoe to kiss Lu Mingfei's cheek, and the clouds in her eyes were collapsing.
"I never blamed you." She said suddenly.
Lu Mingfei was stunned. He stared at Eri's eyes blankly. Eri tilted her head, and her smiling eyes flashed with a bright light.
"Hurry up! Lu Mingfei!" Qilan shouted on the plane.
"I'm coming!" Lu Mingfei responded without turning his head. He stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch Eri's head, but he didn't do it in the end. Instead, the girl took the initiative to step forward and put her head under the man's palm, rubbing it like a kitten.
"I'm sorry." Lu Mingfei said, "I won't do it again in the future."
"Yeah." Eri nodded seriously, "I believe you."
Lu Mingfei walked towards the helicopter with the snow on his shoulders. The cabin door slowly closed behind him. The propeller that had never stopped rotating suddenly accelerated, and the black beast roared into the sky.
The giant bird flew towards the direction of Tama River in the snow crystals. Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at Eri below. She was still leaning against the thick glass door, and all the fog and clouds in her gorgeous red eyes were dispersed.
