The thick mercury fog compressed the field of vision to the extreme, obviously holding hands, but Eri Yi could no longer see Lu Mingfei in her field of vision, and all she could see was a dead gray thick wall-like mercury mist. It was so quiet that she could only hear her own breathing, and Eri couldn't help but tighten her hand a little more. Now there was only a hint of warmth coming from that hand, which could prove that they were still alive.

What's next? Eri couldn't help but think. In the tactics class, the instructor explained the commonly used tactical equipment of "smoke grenades", and Erika understood that the weapon that Lu Mingfei had just thrown should be smoke grenades. But the smoke bomb smokes by the medicine in the can, and the smoke always runs out, so what should I do after that?

Suddenly, the world became clear again. After a second of sluggishness, Eri realized that Sakura had led her out of the smoke.

She suddenly understood what Lu Mingfei meant, this was a wonderful reverse thinking. The mercury mist can block the view, and the man who chased him will inevitably go into the mercury fog to find him. Then once they leave the mercury mist, it means safe. There is no need to doubt that guy's IQ, otherwise he would have made up for Lu Mingfei and everything would have been over, it would undoubtedly be something that can't think like an automated killing machine. He would keep searching for the mercury fog before it cleared, and that was long enough for them to flee far enough.

And Lu Mingfei didn't run away with her, the place they ran to was also a brightly lit place in the Nibelungen. The multi-storey building has a glass façade that shines like new, and fluorescent lamps that illuminate the entire building. The building seems to be a Buddhist shrine standing in the rain with a lantern, and they are two moths flying towards the shrine.

Car Sales Center!

"Eri Yi."

"I'm listening, Sakura." Eri came back to her senses.

"It should be boring to talk about so many messy things......" Lu Mingfei smiled. Actually, I just want to tell you to pay more attention to yourself, you have a lot of weight in the hearts of many people, such as me, such as Crow, and Ms. Nanami Sakurai...... She has called me many times to advise me that you are the next head of the Hachisha family, and I can't treat you badly or anything......"

"I haven't seen her many times, just because of my brother's entrustment, right?" Eri said lightly.

"Is it......" Lu Mingfei scratched his nose and ended the topic stupidly. To be honest, I'm just a dick, I don't even have the right to like someone, and I don't know what it's like to like someone else......" Lu Mingfei hugged Eri Yi into the most dazzling Lamborghini, helped her smooth her messy forehead, and looked directly into her eyes.

"So I don't know if I like you or not...... I like you, but I don't know if it's the kind of ...... Eri, can you accept me like this? ”

"I can accept you at any time, Sakura." Eri smiled, her eyes as bright as ever.

Hearing this answer, Lu Mingfei didn't cry or laugh, he just looked at Eri Yi quietly and shook his head. "You didn't accept me."

"How so? Sakura。 Erika reached out and stroked his cheek, her hand soft and warm, reminiscent of a newborn lamb. I've always ......"

"Who am I?" Lu Mingfei held Eriyi's hand.

Hearing this, Eri was rarely flustered. She hurriedly looked away, wanting to withdraw her hand from Lu Mingfei's hand, wanting to escape from here. But Lu Mingfei's grip was very tight, so that she had no way to break free. Lu Mingfei pulled Eri Yi closer, the two got close, and Lu Mingfei looked straight into her eyes. "I'm Lu Mingfei."

Eri, who was trying to break free, paused, like a doll hanging on a shelf by the lineman.

"I'm not Sakura. Or rather, the Sakura you like, which I disguised from the beginning, did not exist from the beginning. The only thing that really exists is "Lu Mingfei took a deep breath. "Lu Ming is not alone."

"Can you accept me?"

"Don't talk about it." Eri didn't look back, her voice was like a gnat. She understood that Lu Mingfei had seen through everything.

She's a closed-door girl, but she's not stupid, and after leaving the small world that has constrained her for too long, Eri finally realizes that this world is a complex thing like harmony. It's not just the Japanese-style rooms in Genji Heavy Industries and a few luxurious Tokyo restaurants, but it's also not just the Umetsujimachi, the farthest station she has ever taken to town. The world is so complex that it goes far beyond the monotonous words of "like" and "dislike".

The people in this world are just as complex, including what she thinks of as Prince Charming, Sakura. The boy who was always smiling had vomited on the boat with a bucket and had been at the bottom of the Kassel Academy. It is clear that the formula that she can easily understand is difficult for him, and it is not suitable to describe him as even an "ordinary person", and "waste wood" is more suitable. He's like Cinderella who took the witch and Shinji Ikari who took the EVA.

But she could feel that whenever she was with her, Lu Mingfei was always trying to pretend to be the self she was when she met her in Tokyo, so she enjoyed all this as a matter of course. Yes, she said she didn't hate Sakura because it was the one she loved the most......

But she hated Lu Mingfei. When she was most helpless, when she could only silently feel Herzog's dry and disgusting hands, the brave Sakura, who could save her like in Genji Heavy Industries, was eaten by Lu Mingfei, who was not there when he needed him most.

"That live-like Sakura was disguised by me from the beginning, and I disguised Sakura because the mission needs to stabilize you. You are a sword comparable to the clouds of the sky, and you are the key related to the White King. Senior brother and the boss think that it is most reassuring for you to leave the key on our side, so they have decided to keep you. Your explosive combat power is destined to be forced to keep you, so they entrusted me with this task because you trust me. ”

"Don't talk about it......"

"In order for you to avoid the Hachiya Orozaki family, I took you to get your hair done and took you to buy new clothes, not because I wanted to dress you up well."

"Don't talk about it."

"In order for you to enjoy staying with me, I took you to the amusement park, took you to Sensoji Temple, and took you to all the places you want to play."

"Don't talk about it!"

"In order to bring this scene to the climax at the end, I will use the last money to take you to the Chateau Joel Robuchon, hoping to brew a suitable mood after a few glasses of wine, and then invite you to the United States with me. But we won't be in first class, what awaits us is a container of the human snake ship, the container has deep anesthetics in it, and you will sleep all the way. If you lose control, I'll have a Desert Eagle filled with 'Burning Blood'...... What awaits you in the United States will not be student status, but will be sent directly to Tartaros, which is another prison ......"

"Don't say it!!"

From muttering to roaring, the cherry red long knife came out of its sheath and was already on Lu Mingfei's neck in an instant. With her strength, it doesn't have to be so difficult to kill Lu Mingfei, the vampire scythe can take Lu Mingfei's life without a sound. But her face was full of tears. It is clearly a mortal threat, but at this time, Eri is like an abandoned child.

"But that's me!" Lu Mingfei was also roaring. "That's me! I'm such a bad person! It's useless to be cowardly and wasteful! This is Lu Mingfei! Sakura didn't exist from the beginning! ”

"Don't talk about it......" Eri Yi, who was holding on, finally couldn't hold on. The long knife let go and fell to the ground, and the girl hid her face and cried.

"When I saw you dressed up beautifully that day, I was really moved for a moment."

Eri is still crying, and this sentence has no meaning other than to prove that he is a rotten boy with a colored heart.

"Actually, you've always been a monster in my eyes...... Because you can create an iceberg out of thin air in a sponge, and then slay the corpse guards that the Executive Directorate can't face with all its might...... But at that moment, I suddenly felt like you were just a girl. Lu Mingfei said softly.

"Because I'm beautiful." Eri's voice was a little dull.

"Yes, too." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but smile. "But maybe it's because I see the tiredness in your eyes, the surprise...... I saw a look that didn't look like a monster. ”

"Then I took you to choose clothes...... In fact, to be honest, my lust heart was really ready to move at that time, looking at such a beautiful girl like a doll for me to dress up, in fact, there were still a lot of dirty careful thoughts in my heart......"

"Then I took you to Sensoji Temple...... Do you remember, there was also a painter who painted a portrait of us? ”

"yes, yes." The crying stopped at some point, and Eri was a little distracted. "Now that I think about it, that painter is a little suspicious......"

"Indeed, if you see that you want to paint, you can still understand, after all, the golden boy and the jade girl, you are indeed a jade girl, but I am a golden boy......" Lu Mingfei pouted, this should probably be Lu Mingze's handiwork again.

"And then it just so happened that I took you to see my uncle and aunt......"

"Remember, my uncle and aunt are very nice." Eri nodded.

"yes, they're all good...... Finally, I took you to Umetsuji Town, you know what......" Speaking of his holy land, Umezu Temple Town, Lu Mingfei was a little bright. "Actually, I was worried at first that you would find that place boring, I was just a neurotic who watched a Japanese drama a long time ago...... After all, the places we went to the other day were so interesting, whether it was Disney Amusement Park or Palette Amusement Park......"

"No, it's interesting, the sunset is beautiful......"

"Yes, when I heard you say that, I immediately felt that it was worth it! Really TM value! It turns out that I am not the only one who thinks this place is beautiful! There will be people who feel the same way as me! Turns out I'm not alone at all! Lu Mingfei waved his hand excitedly, like a child addicted to graffiti.

"yes, and then the sun goes down little by little...... Remember I asked a lot of questions...... But now that I think about it, it's a little stupid, it's so stupid......" Eri relaxed and leaned back in the leather seat of the Lamborghini. Unconsciously, she also walked into the memories between the two of them...... Suddenly, she remembered something and froze.

"But...... You didn't take me to the port...... You put me on the train...... My brother picked me up on the platform......" Erika noticed the biggest abnormality.

"yes...... Fortunately, the senior brother and the boss didn't embarrass me later, as if the boss persuaded the senior brother to come......" Lu Mingfei scratched his head a little embarrassed. His character is a little cheap. He is used to how others scold him and hurt him, and the thickness of his face is comparable to that of Senior Brother Waste Firewood, but if someone says that he is good, he is a little uncomfortable, and his cheeks are always feverish.

"Why ......" Erika asked, looking up.

"Because...... Because...... Actually, I can't say...... Maybe it's because you're beautiful...... Maybe it's because I think it's too unchanging to send my sister who knows me so well, even if you can raze Umezu Temple Town with a wave of your hand......" Lu Mingfei lowered his head and looked at Eri calmly. "It always makes me feel bad at the thought of having to stay in that kind of place for the rest of your life," he patted his heart. "I always feel like it's blocked. I just don't think I should send you over, it's better to send you over, I'm still S-class! If you have food, game consoles, and games, then I promise to obey the organizational arrangement, and I will stay as long as I want......"

"Is this a fake public benefit?" Although the joke wasn't funny, Eri still laughed out loud.

"Maybe so...... I'm sorry for the nonsense, but I've said what I should have said...... This is Lu Mingfei standing in front of you. I've been doing nothing for a long time, I've been cowardly for a long time, and I've done a lot of bad things, so I'm a bad person in general...... It's a pity that Sakura didn't exist in the first place...... Otherwise, it would be better for him to replace me......"

Looking at Lu Mingfei, who was at a loss in front of him, Eri suddenly felt that time seemed to stand still, and even the raindrops falling outside the window were stretched for a long time, Lu Mingfei's voice echoed in the empty car sales hall, and the elongated tone was like the low singing of an old monk in a distant Buddhist temple.

“Sakura…… It's always been there......" she murmured.

"What did you say?" Lu Mingfei didn't hear clearly.

The corners of Eri's mouth slowly pulled up a slight arc. The moment she smiled, the time-freezing magic was lifted, and everything was back to normal. She wiped away her tears with the big sleeves of her shrine maiden costume and leaned over to hug the boy in front of her.

"I accept."

"Have you accepted it, accepted it, just accepted it......" Lu Mingfei muttered, like an old father who sent his daughter to marry. When those three words came out of Eri's mouth, he felt like all the burdens had been lifted, and his body was as light as a swallow, as if he could fly up to the clouds with a kick.

He let go of Eri and gave her a heavy kiss on the forehead. Then he kept looking at Eri, getting closer, getting closer...... Until I can see myself reflected in those dark red pupils.

"Don't die, Lu Mingfei." He said.
