Chapter 23: The Gate of Destiny Slowly Closes
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Xiaodao was confused, but at the same time his heart was still full of vigilance, the scene of this man hanging a giant whale by the river for the first time was still deeply engraved in his mind, and it was hard to forget in his life.
That's what it means literally. β
The uncle, who called himself a ghost, said, "You don't want me to tie you up, like the black slaves of the Middle Ages, have you ever seen the Arabs begging them to have lunch with you? β
Lu Xiaodao thought that this metaphor was really hurtful enough, the other party was an Arab, and he was the black slave..... But seeing that the other party seemed to really want to give up, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief all over my body, black slaves are black slaves, and there are still some human rights.
Uncle Ghost suddenly turned his head, the corners of his mouth showed an arc, and said, "Hey, are you really sure? Every thought in a person's life may have completely different thoughts, not to mention that without me, no one can save you if you encounter that dangerous situation again." β
Lu Xiaodao said lazily: "Let it be, if I really hang up Uncle Ghost, you don't have to save me, you have helped me many times." β
To be honest, Lu Xiaodao felt that the weird middle-aged man in front of him was not a bad person, and every time he appeared, he provided him with great help, if it weren't for him, maybe the entire CBD building would have collapsed, and the classmates would have been buried under the cold steel rubble.
It's just that..... The more this is the case, the more terrifying Lu Xiaodao becomes, and the almost weird ability is too terrifying.
"Oh well. β
The mysterious uncle stood up and stretched lazily on the top of the rooftop, and then a terrifying scene appeared.
Behind him, two gates appeared out of thin air in the mid-air above the rooftop, and a wide gate of nearly fifty meters appeared in the sky, surrounded by dark golden stripes, and a sacred aura of heavy metal rushed to his face.
Lu Xiaodao's mouth opened wide and he almost bit his tongue off.
"There are two doors in life, one of which is about to close to you. The middle-aged man snapped his fingers, and the door on the left made a heavy twisting and friction sound, and then slowly closed inside, and finally slammed, the door closed completely, leaving only a strange pattern on the faΓ§ade, while the other door was still open, emitting a faint white light inside, an illusion.
"People who have come into contact with that world already have their breath, the so-called aura, if you want to escape completely, then you can only clear all the cause and effect from you, and this method can only be done by me. β
The middle-aged uncle said casually: "The gate of Nornes, which symbolizes fate, is about to be closed for you, you know, the gate of fate can only be opened once, even if you have to regret it in the future, there is no chance." β
Lu Xiaodao has read a lot of novels and knows that Nornes is the general name of the three sisters, and he is also the first god to appear in the universe in Western mythology, responsible for controlling the fate of all gods in the entire European mythological system, including the twelve gods of Titan and the twelve main gods of Olympus, and also controls the fate of every mortal, and is the most powerful god.
Nornes is the god of fate.
Lu Xiaodao stared blankly at the door on the left that closed completely, and finally slowly disappeared, leaving only the door on the right, which meant that he could return to his normal life and would no longer encounter these strange things.
Looking at Lu Xiaodao's eyes, the middle-aged man smiled and took out something from his hand and threw it out, "Uh-huh, but young people, it's normal to be impulsive, this thing is for you, you can have a chance to regret it." β
Lu Xiaodao narrowed his eyes slightly, and shouted: "Hey, hey, didn't you just say that this door can't be opened if you pay attention?"
"I'm different. β
The uncle smiled and said: "There are rules for everything in the world, and you have always known that you have failed to play the game, right?" I am the rule in the game, and this kind of rule can make the door of fate reopen again, of course, it is really the last time." β
"Okay, it's time, I wish you a happy life, goodbye" The middle-aged man didn't know where he learned the tone of a delivery person, and then smiled slightly, facing the road path, jumped directly from the hundred-meter-high building, and made a strange voice like a whimper.
"Hey!"
Lu Xiaodao's pupils shrank, startled, and after a while, he realized that this guy can't be judged by common sense, and when he stretched out his head, he didn't see any figure, that guy had completely disappeared into this world, and everything around him became normal.
Lu Xiaodao subconsciously stretched out his right hand to his chest, and in his hand was the thing that the guy had thrown to him before, it was a coin, black and gold, the same color as the gate that symbolized the so-called destiny before, the only discord was that the pattern engraved on the coin was the middle-aged uncle himself, he stretched out a scissor hand, grinning and revealing a bright smile.
The whole coin looks like it was the game currency in the arcade when I was a child.
"What the hell, you're awesome! Lu Xiaodao muttered, then fell silent for a while, but decided to put the coin in his chest pocket.
It wasn't to cherish that opportunity to regret it, he still didn't change his mind, but he felt that this was an extremely commemorative thing, and maybe even bless himself with the next danger.
........
Tan Hao doesn't know what he's doing these days, he is as elusive as Lu Xiaodao after graduation, and it is difficult to see him every time he goes home, or he is sleeping heavily, he seems to be very tired, and he is estimated to be frustrated in love, and then runs to other places to vent his excess physical strength.
However, Lu Xiaodao's current mind was all focused on what was about to happen next, so he didn't pay extra attention to him.
Three days later, there was a rare summer rain in the sky, dense and turbulent, and the heat on the concrete floor of the street seemed to be all evaporated, and the whole ground was like a morning fog in addition to splashing water droplets.
The rain was pouring down, and Lu Xiaodao wrapped his coat around his head and hurried to a Starbucks cafΓ© in the city.
Lin Miaoran was quietly standing by the window drinking coffee, wearing an intellectual white suit, with eyes on her face, looking at a newspaper, and the coffee cup on Zhuo was exuding a trace of heat.
Lin Miaoran's long and supple hair fluttered on her shoulders, and her eyes through the glasses seemed to contain endless stars, this woman's temperament was very rare in this small northern city, and Lu Xiaodao could see from the gazes of the two clerks on the counter of the coffee shop, because when they came in, their eyes were focused on Lin Miaoran, and they didn't realize that they had pushed the door open.
Lu Xiaodao sat in the seat opposite Lin Miaoran and asked in a low voice, "Is it here?"
"What is here?" Lin Miaoran put down the newspaper in his hand.
