Chapter 19: The Dream (Part II)
Five years later.
"To celebrate your admission to Federal High School No. 1, Grandpa has prepared a special gift for you." The old man took out a beautiful wooden box carved with lines from his room and placed it on the coffee table in the living room.
"Grandpa, is this the gift you prepared for me?" Lin Feng looked at the wooden box suspiciously.
The old man smiled and said, "Open it and take a look." โ
Lin Feng opened the wooden box, and there was a knife inside, as well as the scabbard and display base.
"Knives? Grandpa, why did you give me a knife? Lin Feng picked up the knife and swung it twice.
"This is a katana, grandpa, I bought it from an old friend for tens of thousands of federal dollars, do you know why, grandpa wants to give you a katana?"
"I don't know."
"Grandpa wants you, like a samurai in the future, to have the five qualities of 'righteousness', 'bravery', 'benevolence', 'courtesy', and 'sincerity'." The old man took a sip of tea and continued: "This 'righteousness' means that you must abide by righteousness and morality, and 'courage' requires you to have the spirit of daring and perseverance; 'Benevolence' is to have the virtues of tolerance, love, sympathy, and compassion; And "etiquette" is not only demeanor, but also the external expression of affection and care for others, and the last "sincerity" is to let you be honest with others and not deceive others. Of course, the spirit of bushido doesn't actually refer to these five, but Grandpa only wants you to follow what I'm telling you today. โ
"Don't worry, grandpa, I'll remember." Both grandfather and grandson laughed, and that smile was so sincere.
At night, Lin Feng had already fallen asleep deeply in his room.
In another room, an old man sat in front of a Buddha statue, chanting the words of the Buddha incessantly, and then looked at the Buddha statue and sighed.
"Five years ago, in order to let Feng'er survive the death disaster after fifteen years, I was willing to use my life as the price, count the days, I'm afraid it will be tomorrow, it's just an old bone, I don't want to live a long life, it's better to go 'there' as soon as possible, and educate my unfilial son and daughter-in-law." The old man sighed again and sat in front of the Buddha statue in a meditative posture until the next morning, when Lin Feng had not yet gotten up, he wrote a farewell letter and told Lin Feng that he was just looking for a clean and leisurely place to spend the rest of his life, so he left.
However, after going out for a few intersections, he was hit by a driver who was tired of driving, and the driver was worried about being caught, so he drove away directly.
By the time Lin Feng received a notice from the First Hospital in the center of Los Angeles and rushed to the hospital, his grandfather had already been sent to the emergency room. After waiting for more than an hour, Lin Feng was told: "We did our best, mourn." โ
didn't even see the last side, grandpa just lay in front of Lin Feng. That night, Lin Feng ignored the dissuasion of the medical staff and knelt down all night next to his grandfather who was put into the freezer.
The next day, Lin Feng returned home with empty eyes, found his father's spare identity card in the room that had been empty since his parents left, used his authority on the Internet, found all the information of the driver who caused the accident, took the katana given to him by his grandfather, came to the door of the person's house, and knocked on the door.
"Who?" A fat man asked angrily and opened the door.
"The one who killed you." Lin Feng said lightly, pulled out the katana from the scabbard, and slowly walked towards the man who kept retreating towards the house, his empty eyes made the man feel fear from it.
"Don't ...... Don't kill me, I didn't do anything, really I didn't do anything......"
The man was frightened and cried, and sat on the ground and kept crawling backwards until he reached the wall.
"Nothing? So what did you do in the morning. Lin Feng walked up to the man sitting by the wall, looked down at the man, and deliberately waved the katana in his hand, "I said it in advance, the sword has no eyes." โ
"I ...... I say! I say! In the morning I hit an old man, in order to escape, I drove to the police station to get out of the relationship and let them cover up the matter, in addition, I also kill, embezzle, bribe! I...... I've said it all, don't ...... Don't kill me, don't kill me......"
"Okay, these recordings are all useful to me." Lin Feng took out the voice recorder in his pocket and looked at the man with a sneer, "Do you know who the old man you hit in the morning is." โ
"No...... I don't know ......."
"He's my grandfather." Lin Feng clenched his katana, "Remember, the person who killed you is called Lin Feng." โ
"Don't ...... Don't kill me! โ
The knife flashed, the man was lifeless, blood stained the floor, and Lin Feng's knife was stained with blood.
"Hmph, you damn it!" Lin Feng stabbed a few more times, disdainfully shook off the blood on the knife, and wiped the knife with a towel.
Later, Lin Feng, as the defendant, was sued by the man's relatives in court, but because he was a minor, and because of the "1229" incident - the sacrifice of the descendants of scientific researchers in the Los Research International Building, and enough evidence to refute the plaintiff, he won the lawsuit and was exempted from criminal responsibility for intentional homicide, while the plaintiff's relatives were found to be guilty of corruption and harboring criminals and imprisoned.

"Hey, why does your head hurt so much?"
Lin Feng touched his head and stood up and looked around.
There were no creatures here, Lin Feng seemed to be stepping on the water, and every step he took was rippled in circles, slowly spreading around. In the distance, the sky and Lin Feng's feet seemed to be connected.
"How? Those are the memories buried deep in your heart. An ethereal voice came into Lin Feng's ears.
"Who are you? Come out, don't be mysterious. Lin Feng looked at it several times, but he couldn't see that there was a person around.
"Don't look at it, I'm right in front of you."
In front of Lin Feng, a familiar girl gradually appeared.
"Shireen!! How are you? Lin Feng was surprised.
"Shireen? It seems that this is the name of the original owner of this look, and I have to say, it's pretty beautiful. โ
"You're not Shireen? So who are you? Lin Feng looked at the girl floating in the air in confusion, looking the same as Shirin, but with wings on her back and long and pointed ears.
"High Elf, Rena." The girl landed in front of Lin Feng and looked at Lin Feng carefully, "Our high-ranking elves, when they appear in other people's dreams, they generally don't use their true appearance, but the appearance of the woman who cares most about the dream owner's memory. โ
"Superior elf, what's that?" Lin Feng asked.
Rena thought for a moment, "Hmm...... It's hard to explain, so you can understand that he is the son of God. โ
"Son of God? Then why are you in my dreams? โ
"Because I'm interested in your memory, I adjusted your dreams without permission, and I saw your memory, I'm sorry." Rena stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"That's all?" Lin Feng complained.
"Well, that's all...... No, it's not just because of that. Rena looked at Lin Feng seriously and said, "There is one more thing. โ
"That...... No matter how many things, can you please tell me without this look, I look uncomfortable......"
"Then I can only make an exception once and use my true appearance." Rena transforms and returns to her original form.
"Poof...... This is also a bit too ......" Lin Feng looked at Rena, who was at most one meter six tall and had returned to her original appearance, and remembered the special title of her previous life-Lori.
"Huh? What's wrong? I feel like you're thinking something strange, and to tell you the truth, don't look at me like this, I'm over 300 years old...... Hey, hey, hey......" Rena deliberately stated her age.
Lin Feng felt that the topic was gradually strange, and hurriedly returned to the main topic: "Ahem, I didn't think about anything, let's say, what else do you have to do." โ
"Well, it's not much, but it's a little strange for me to see the cities and civilizations you remember." Rena stared at Lin Feng's eyes, "You're not from this world, are you?" โ
"Yes, I'm really not from this world, what's wrong, what's wrong?" Lin Feng replied calmly.
"There's no problem, I'm currently in charge of monitoring you, and you don't have to worry about your memories being seen by the superior elves other than me, ah, time is running out, it's dawn soon, I should go, see you next time, remember to tell me about your world!"
"Wait! I still have questions to ask! Lin Feng sat up, just realizing that he had woken up, and the cold sweat he had dreamed about at night soaked the sheets. It's early in the morning, and the sun is gradually rising in the sky outside the window.
Lin Feng looked out the window and thought to himself, "The one just now, is it a dream, or does it really exist?" Alas, I don't want to think about it, I broke out in a cold sweat at night, so hurry up and go to the bathroom to wash. โ
