Chu Zihang slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were pure white, and everything was blurry.

He didn't believe in God, and naturally he didn't believe in heaven, but his face was pure and flawless, dyed with a warm light, like an angel bowing his head and kissing a sinner's forehead.

For a moment he was in a trance, trying to move forward, trying to see the face clearly.

He smelled the warm, moist scent of angels, with the fragrance of plant leaves after the rain.

"Senior brother, are you going to be a hooligan when you wake up?" Just as he was about to put his whole face up, the other party said slowly.

"Natsumi?" Chu Zihang's vision gradually became clearer, he was lying in an intensive care unit, the sun shone in through the white gauze curtains, his whole body was full of various tubes and lines, doctors and nurses came and went.

"That's right! It's not an angel sister, it's a junior sister, because you're not dead. "Natsumi is like a roundworm in his stomach.

"Not dead?" Chu Zihang was a little dazed, trying to move his limbs, except for the ubiquitous soreness, it seemed that all the bones were intact.

All this seems too incredible, the moment he lost consciousness, it was at the highest point of the track, with the strength of his body, even if he burst into blood, he would not fall two hundred meters unharmed, no matter how to strengthen the bloodline, the bones were still human calcium carbonate bones, even special alloy steel was difficult to escape in this case.

"Pain? That's because the electric current through your body paralyzes the muscles, and it will be good to raise it, and if that large amount of electricity passes through the heart, it will not be so lucky. Xia Mi pressed him back into the hospital bed, "We have returned to the Kassel Academy, you have been in a coma for ten days, and you only live on glucose transfusion, is there anything you want to say?" ”

"Why didn't I die?" Chu Zihang asked.

"I'm curious," Xia Mi rolled her eyes, "Please, senior brother, you are an escape, can you not be so paralyzed, not so 100,000 why, show a happy expression!" ”

Chu Zihang pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled silently.

"It's really boring to laugh when you look at it," Xia Mi pouted, "You didn't die because my junior sister was brave and courageous, and I rushed up and hugged you!" ”

"Hold?" Chu Zihang's mind was very confused.

Is that the case? It seems that there is, but I don't remember when or where, but in that long, long dream before waking up, there always seemed to be a faint smell of perfume around me, exactly the same as that used by Xia Mi.

"Rely on my words, the eyes of the Wind King." Xia Mi said.

Chu Zihang nodded, "It turns out that your spirit is the pupil of the Wind King, no wonder you are not afraid at all on the roller coaster." ”

The pupil of the Wind King, serial number 74, is centered on the releaser in the field, controlling the air flow to form a vortex, and the terrible wind speed will cause a flight-like effect, but the direction of the flight cannot be controlled, used for combat, more to blow away the enemy, everything in the field is quickly emptied, there is no strong defense like the dustless land, but it can even be used for attack.

"No, I was scared to death, I was too embarrassed to say it. Do you think the Wind King's pupils can be used as wings? It's no problem to control the airflow of the pen's falling trajectory, and it may not be possible to land safely depending on luck, and the two of us fell into the deep water of the rapids. Natsumi snorted, "You said it so easily, I took a big risk!" If I can fly, why don't I fly to the United States myself? Still spending money on airline tickets? ”

Chu Zihang was too lazy to mess with her and talk nonsense. He was a little tired and his eyelids were heavy, so he closed his eyes.

"It's really unaccomplished to save you." Natsumi seemed a little angry.

"But when I rescued you, it seemed that someone was secretly helping, and at that time I felt that the pressure on my body became less, and the pressure in the vicinity increased suddenly, and I almost couldn't control it, but fortunately, the speed of our landing slowed down. Who do you say is helping us, guess who that person is? ”

"Lu Mingfei, his words and spirits are royal power."

"Eh, it's the second senior brother? It's really unseemly. Xia Mi was a little surprised, and then she was angry. He did it on purpose, let me save you, maybe he was watching our jokes, and before entering school, he staged a beautiful woman to save the hero, and the gossip between us must be flying all over the sky. It's over, how will I talk about boyfriends in the future? ”

Xia Mi covered her eyes, and after a while, she secretly paid attention to Chu Zihang's appearance.

"You're quite handsome, but you're a little paralyzed, and you're enthusiastic, or we'll make do with it."

Then she thought of something and shook her head frantically. "It's over, I don't want to be a widow, I'm still young. You are a person who takes your life very lightly, I saved you, you are not grateful at all, but feel that you have a bad life. ”

"I don't want to die." Chu Zihang still closed his eyes, "It's just that I can't think of any other way at that moment." ”

"You like to be a hero so much? The second senior brother did a very good job in this regard, and I feel that the second senior brother is the winner who survives to the end. ”

"Nope. It's because once again, someone died behind my back, and I didn't do anything but drive away. By the time I realized I was a coward, I desperately went back to him, but I couldn't find him again. Chu Zihang said softly, "Can you understand that feeling?" If you still have to fight, don't wait until you regret it. ”

"What does it feel?"

"I'm a coward." Chu Zihang opened his eyes and looked at the roof.

"Actually, it's just being strong, right? I said I was a coward or something, but I still felt amazing in my heart. Do you feel that if you don't do something, you just made a mistake, because you are amazing, so you have to do something that others can't do, and it's a piece of cake to risk your life or something? ”

"That's right," Chu Zihang nodded, and whispered in a way as sharp and crisp as ice, "It's all my fault if I can't do it." ”

"If you're so strong, you'll die one day."

"Yes, but it's none of your business." Chu Zihang was a little tired of talking to this nagging junior sister, although it was the junior sister who saved him, but he didn't feel that he had an obligation to accompany her to talk nonsense here, he did his best, he didn't want anything in return, and he didn't feel that he owed anyone, now he was tired and wanted to sleep for a while.

"Who says it doesn't matter? It costs money to send flowers to the grave! Natsumi looked vicious, "Say, what kind of flowers do you like to put on your grave?" ”

Chu Zihang thought for a while, "Lilies or chrysanthemums, yellow." ”

"Oh, it's not as good as a carnation, a carnation is pretty."

"The flower language of carnations is love for mothers, not flowers for graves." Chu Zihang was a little helpless.

"Carnations are cheap."

This conversation is really nonsensical, Chu Zihang doesn't understand why he still wants to continue this conversation, now as long as Xia Mi says I have something to do, you can sleep for a while, Chu Zihang can sleep solemnly.

He held on to talk to Natsumi, but he felt that he had just slept like this, and it was not rude.

"You like carnations, don't you?" Chu Zihang guessed

This time Natsumi didn't speak again.

The sudden silence in the ward made Chu Zihang overjoyed, and it was a little strange, this nagging junior sister was finally willing to let him sleep for a while?

He opened his eyes to make sure, but he was stunned, Xia Mi hugged his knees, curled up like a kitten on the hardwood chair next to the hospital bed, which would never be comfortable, and her long eyelashes were down, thick as a curtain in the morning light.

She fell asleep first.

"You haven't slept for forty-eight hours, right? Waiting for you to wake up. The nurse who was arranging the oxygen tube next to her put a blanket on Xia Mi's shoulder and said intentionally or unintentionally.

Chu Zihang slowly opened his eyes, covered in sweat, as if he had just had a nightmare, but he couldn't remember what that nightmare was.

I don't know how long it took, Chu Zihang almost rested, and slowly opened his eyes, full of energy.

In front of him was a silver tray in good condition, the old and thin hand picked up the pear stem, the circle of pear peel planed a beautiful arc, fell on the tray, and the remaining peeled pear was handed to him.

"Headmaster?" Chu Zihang was a little surprised, it was quiet in the ward, there was no Xia Mi, and there were no nurses and doctors.

Ange sat down in front of the bed, slowly wiped the pear juice off the folding knife with a handkerchief, then tucked it away and stuffed it into a leather sheath in the sleeve of his shirt.

"I like to peel pears very much, I used to read the Republic of China era, saying that Du Yuesheng, the leader of the underworld, likes to peel pears for his subordinates to eat, this is a privilege, and there is no cost." Ange smiled.

Chu Zihang looked at the pear in his hand with some puzzlement, of course he knew Du Yuesheng, it was easy to understand that Du Yuesheng used this method to win people's hearts, but Ange didn't have to.

"I thought it was fun, so I tried to pick up a pear and start peeling it. As the circle of pear peel faded from my hand, I suddenly understood that the man named Du Yuesheng cut the pear not only as a cage, but also as a way for you Chinese to cultivate themselves. For ordinary people, peeling pears is something that requires a good grasp of wrist strength, and you can't be too impatient or hesitant. The slightest mistake will cause the pear skin to break, and that will not be beautiful. You have to be upright, calm and dignified, and at this time your strength has a kind of feminine beauty, the most durable, and the most vigorous. Ange said nonchalantly.

"What do you mean, Headmaster?" Chu Zihang put the pears on the tray. He understood, of course, that on such an afternoon, Ange, who should have been busy with many things, had come here to see him, and had dismissed the others, not to teach him the art of peeling pears.

"How long have you mastered this technique?" Ange's voice was low and cold.

The temperature in the hospital room seemed to drop suddenly, so cold that ice slag condensed out of the air. Chu Zihang shuddered slightly, and Ange looked directly into his eyes, motionless.

"Two years." Chu Zihang understood what Ange was talking about, once the blood exploded, the power of words and the scope of the domain increased dramatically, and he couldn't hide it from Ange.

"That is, you mastered this technique shortly after you became the president of the Lionheart." Ange got up and paced around the room, "You figured this technique from the original files of the Lionhearts, right?" Although he is already very talented, it is still too difficult to comprehend on his own. ”

"Yes."

"It's incredible," Ange looked down, smiled, and sighed, "The Lionhearts are the oldest brotherhood in this college, and they have a wealth of archives, even things that aren't even in the library, and you can find them in the Lionhearts' archives. But that's not complete, and as a founding member of the Lionhearts, I took the most important part of it. This part is the technique of bursting blood, but you can actually deduce it all from the clues. It's remarkable. Do you understand why I took that part of the file? ”

"There is a danger in exploding blood, and the purity of the bloodline seems to increase instantly, but people will be very aggressive, and it is called 'will to kill' in the archives."

"Yes, the 'will to kill', a spiritual power unique to the dragons, this kind of thing is biologically like a beast that gets excited by the smell of blood, which is genetically determined, and is called the 'bloodthirsty gene'. Dragons, on the other hand, have the urge to attack any target in a state of rage, and this urge greatly increases their abilities. After the explosion of blood, the will to kill in the hybrid will also increase, and the usually gentle person may become beastly and cruel. However, this is not the reason why 'burst blood' is considered taboo. ”

Chu Zihang nodded, "I'm listening." ”

Ange sat on the edge of the bed and was silent for a while, "The school board has always been secretive about bloodlines. All you know is that you have two races of blood, but all of the lessons bypass the core secret of bloodlines. Ever wondered? ”

"I feel it, there are some things you don't want to teach."

"It's often cruel to know yourself, and it's not easy for young people to dissect their own lineage from the deepest depths. It's not that we don't want to teach, it's that we don't know how to talk about the past. Ange sighed slowly and began the long story, "It is an indisputable fact that dragons are genetically far stronger than humans. Since the establishment of Darwin's theory of evolution, we have tended to believe that the superior species will eliminate the backward species. But between dragons and humans, it's the opposite. Humans with no genetic dominance ended the theocratic era of dragon domination, and since then, dragons have become reptiles living in the shadows, and humans are on the throne of the spirits of all things. You can imagine how intolerable this is for dragons. Humans clearly know how strong the hatred of dragons is, as long as dragons are revived, humans will be re-enshrined in their feet, and dragons really survived because of human greed. ”

"Greedy?" Chu Zihang was stunned.

"Because the first people who grasped the secrets of dragons were reluctant to destroy this race. Think of what a powerful and beautiful creature the dragon is, they have mastered two techniques, 'alchemy' and 'spirit', the former changing the structure of matter, and the latter tempering the spirit, both of which at their peak were far stronger than the so-called 'science' of mankind. In the era before the 'science', human beings coveted the power of dragons, and continued to study the last remaining dragons, and in the name of paying tribute to the gods, human women and dragons gave birth to hybrid offspring, thus creating the so-called 'hybrids'. You're only 20 years old, and you'd probably hard-time imagine such cruel and savage rituals," Ange whispered, "and it's hard for a woman who is paid tribute to dragons to survive the birth of a child, because her own body is too fragile, but the child she conceives is too strong, in a cage made of metal bars, in a pitch-black dungeon, or tied to a stone-carved altar, struggling in agony, covered in blood, unable to give birth." Eventually, the mother body that serves as a container is broken through by the offspring inside, the docile child is raised, and the dangerous offspring is killed by a spear pierced into the cage, and then continues to mix for generations until the bloodline is stable. This is the sordid history of half-breeds. ”

Chu Zihang closed his eyes slightly, and in front of him was the darker blood splashing on the dark stone wall, the lights were flickering, the wails of women and the roars of monsters echoed in the depths of the cellar, and the ancient priests sang hymns.

He understood why Ange sighed, this history was so filthy that it was disgusting.

Ange continued, "After taking the basic classes of the Academy, each of you has the concept that what we call a 'half-blood', the proportion of human blood must exceed the proportion of dragon blood, otherwise it is an alien, our enemy. Normally, the higher the proportion of dragon bloodlines, the more obvious the bloodline advantage, but once a certain ratio is breached, which we call the 'critical blood limit', everything changes. The dragon gene is strong enough to modify the genes of other races, and if the hybrid breed breaks through the critical blood limit, their human genes will be forcibly modified to dragon genes, and he will complete the 'evolution'. ”

"What does evolution mean?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Evolve into dragons, creatures of a higher order," Ange paused, "and dragons are our enemies. ”

Chu Zihang was silent for a long time and raised his head, "You are reluctant to teach this knowledge because it is possible for a half-breed to evolve into a complete dragon?" ”

"No, they can get infinitely close to dragons, but they will never reach the end," Ange shook his head, "If the hybrids that cross the 'critical blood limit' will eventually transform into pure-blood dragons, then there will be more and more pure-blooded dragons in the world." Even students who have taken an introductory course in genetic biology will understand that bloodlines are bound to be enriched in an individual after being mixed over many generations. You know hemophilia, right? It was once the 'royal disease' of European royal families, because in the Middle Ages, various royal families frequently intermarried, and the hemophilia gene of a member of the royal family at the beginning would accumulate in some descendants after being transmitted for many generations, resulting in the onset of the disease. It's the same with dragon blood. Whereas, pure-blooded dragons are undead, and as long as they have enough time to cocoon, they can always come back from the dead. After thousands of years of accumulation in this way, the world is full of pure-blooded dragons, and even if the academy expands the executive department into several group armies, it can't deal with such a huge group of pure-blooded dragons. ”

Chu Zihang nodded.

"It's because of the backlash of human genes." Ange reached out and picked up a dry and hard bread crumb from the tray, and slowly crushed it with two fingers, and the crumbs fell on the tray, "In front of the dragon genes, the human genes are too weak to mention, and the dragon genes overwhelm the human genes, which is as simple as a high-powered roller crushing gravel, crushed into dust." But imagine a road roller after crushing the gravel into dust. He turned over his hand and let Chu Zihang look at his fingers, there were still some fine crumbs left, Ange crushed those crumbs again, using several times the strength of the last time, and turned over his hand again, the crumbs were still there.

"It's useless for you to crush it after it turns into dust, you can't wipe it off completely, it becomes zero." Ange whispered.

Chu Zihang was slightly stunned, "I understand, human genes can't be completely rewritten!" ”

"Yes, the human genetics will show amazing tenacity in the last moments, and it will fight back. Powerful dragon genes can't know the last bit of impurities, and these things that seem impure to dragons remain in their genes like scum that can't be removed. ”

"So hybrids don't turn into pure-blooded dragons." Chu Zihang said.

"Yes, but they will become something called 'Deadpool', imperfect genes lead to imperfect bodies, so they can't contain powerful mental powers, they will die at the last moment of evolution, the microstructure of the body will change, most of them will lose consciousness, and they will lose themselves." "They look like ordinary people, but they're walking dead, and dragons don't see them as companions, and humans see them as enemies. If the world of dragons is heaven and the world of humans is hell, then they are the souls of the dead lost between heaven and hell, and no one accepts them. They naturally obey the dragons because of the call of the bloodline, and the dragons use them as cannon fodder in the war against humans, and it doesn't matter if they die, because there are always new ones. ”

There was a dead silence in the ward, Ange took out the scarf in his coat pocket to wipe his hands, and looked at Chu Zihang.

"I see." For a long time, Chu Zihang broke the silence.

"You're a very good student, and of course you know what I mean. Burst Blood is a forbidden technique, and while it can activate your Dragonblood for a short time, the side effect is that it may break through the 'critical blood limit'. After breaking through the critical health limit, it's like a roller coaster into a descending track, and no force can pull you back. This technique is the devil and not only consumes your life and damages your body, but the pleasure of the instantaneous purification of the bloodline will leave you immersed in the illusion of 'omnipotence'. If you are too greedy for power, the devil will quietly lead you across the line and push you into the abyss. You'll end up with a Deadpool. ”

Ange stretched out his hand and patted Chu Zihang's shoulder, "At that time, I could only kill you, and for you at that time, death was the best ending." ”

He picked up the pear in the tray and handed it to Chu Zihang, "Eat it, don't waste it." I remember I told the story of peeling pears, only the power of flexibility is the most lasting, don't be impatient, many things, you can't do it by burning yourself. ”

He turned his back to Chu Zihang, "I came here alone today to talk about the blood explosion, I don't know." But if the school board knows about it, your student status will be affected. As an educator, I never break my own school rules, and this is probably the only time I've made an exception, and I'm impressed by your bravery. ”

Ange left the ward, leaving Chu Zihang alone to sit silently on the hospital bed and look at the pear, I don't know when, it rained outside the window.
