Chapter 345: The Fire Skull and Russian History

"That Fire Skull rider is me. ”

Lilia spoke succinctly, not quickly, and with a clear voice, but the content was a little too appalling: as soon as she said this, Weiske's eyes almost didn't pop out of her sockets, and they looked like white-faced Zhang Fei, and Richard was more exaggerated, and he just slid away from Lilia, with a frightened expression on his face, as if Lilia might burn him at any moment

Compared with Weisk and Richard, Feng Longde was also a little skeptical that Lilia was a guy who was different from ordinary people at the beginning, and Caroline also had a relevant discussion with herself at that time, so Feng Longde had a certain psychological preparation for this, but after hearing the truth, he still felt that his three views were a little collapsed-

The flaming skull that tied Xie Yu into a dumpling with iron chains, spewed a large amount of flames from his eye sockets, burned it into a charred pie, and then rode away on a burning motorcycle?

Looking at Lilia with a determined expression on her face, Feng Longde had to sigh at the size of the world: he had read Ghost Rider comics before, and even Nicolas Cage's "Ghost Rider I" and "Ghost Rider II: Hour of Vengeance" were very familiar, but he couldn't imagine what kind of scenery it would be if a girl's real identity was a creature similar to Ghost Rider

"You mean to say," Feng Longde's brows furrowed, although his facial expression did not change much, but the slightly trembling hands clasped together indicated that his soul was not completely calm, "You are the one who burned Xie Yu's bastard who made trouble with Lao Li into that virtue and took away his motorcycle? Are you a ghost rider, just like Johnny Blazer and Dan Cage in American comics?Can hellfire, the eye of judgment, immortality, and other abilities?"

"You are not giving the right example of a character, you should have said that I am not like Arriandela-old He. The Ghost Rider comics you read are probably not very complete.,One of the characters with real names and surnames in Ghost Rider is indeed a woman.,A female Ghost Rider.。 Lilia waved her hand, looked at Weisk and Richard with the expressions of stupid roe deer, and sighed slightly, "But I'm not a ghost rider - from the time I discovered the anomaly until now, I could only turn into a skeleton frame surrounded by fire." In addition to being able to master the flames perfectly, the most I can do is use the flames to control their temperature and burn people to death in a very short time, or let the flames attach to vehicles and weapons, I don't have any hellfire and judgment eyes at all, if I were a true ghost rider, you should know what will happen to me or even you, right?"

"Well, I guess you shouldn't be a ghost rider either, and you won't have any Zatanos and Randekill. Feng Longde was silent for a while and then tilted his head, "Excuse me, since you are the Flame Skull Motorcyclist." This is easy to explain: when you were on the beach at the beach, you learned about Xie Yu from me and Lao Li, so you turned into a fire skull motorcyclist and ran to Xie Yu's suburban villa that night and burned him to the stinky skin of the outside?

"That's right. Lilia nodded, "Old He, don't you wonder if I'm lying, and don't ask me to show me something?"

"No, at least for now. Facing Lilia's question, Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "I saw that Fire Skull Motorcyclist directly at the beginning. That is, you, still at the scene of the crime. It's just that you didn't notice me at the time. ”

"What?!" Not only was Lilia shocked, but even Weisk and Richard, who were looking at Lilia stupidly, jumped up, "Lao He, why were you on the scene in the first place?"

"Yes, I also planned to get rid of Xie Yu's guy that night, but I didn't expect to be preempted. Looking at Weisk and the other three. Feng Longde scratched his head, "You also know that I will disguise and devour, right? when the time comes, I only need to change my appearance and pay attention to the surveillance, and I can subdue Xie Yu, an ordinary human who has a little money and power at best, purely by relying on my physical fitness, and then directly devour him - devouring is an extremely perfect method of destroying corpses and destroying traces, in that case, he will be recognized as missing at most." God knows when it will be re-identified as death, and it will save what unexpected little things will happen as a result, Brother Xie, you were angry and grabbed people's heads at that time."

"There's no way, I didn't know that there would be others who would also target Xie Yu. Lilia sighed, "The result is a smooth solution, but the basket also poked out by the way: the market was very nervous during the time you were away, there were more police and plainclothes people training on the street than before, and there seemed to be some special people in the secret visits, but fortunately, it was completely fine around November last year, and it is estimated that they had to give up after a long time of no results and no progress, but I was relieved." ”

"Special personnel, God knows who it is, Brother Xie, you should pay attention to it, don't really get caught doing slicing research." Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders and replied, I don't know why, the special person mentioned by Lilia casually always gave him a sense of familiarity for no reason, "I didn't expect you to care about Lao Li enough, you would actually think of killing Xie Yu, how do I always feel that this means something?"

"It doesn't mean anything special, it just means that I, as the president of the Iron and Blood Club, cares about my members, and as a friend, I also care about my friends, that's all. Lilia replied quietly, looking at Feng Longde's eyes with a meaning, probably asking him not to continue in this regard, "After all, I am just an ordinary human being, but if necessary, I can transform into a fire skeleton, not a real ghost rider. ”

"I think so, otherwise, according to the setting in the American comics, the family and relatives and friends around the Ghost Rider will be implicated by the curse and encounter all kinds of misfortunes, and I will have to face the troubles of the demons every day, and the spirit will be tortured to the point of collapse. Property, career, family, and all other normal people's lives will be subverted, and they cannot enjoy a good life except for avenging the innocent. And the curse of the Evil Ghost Rider will be passed down from generation to generation and cannot be shaken off, and every Evil Ghost Rider is a tragic hero who is arranged to suffer a cycle of suffering without a good reward, this is their destiny in life. Feng Longde let out a long sigh, not knowing what he was sighing for or whom. "Brother Xie, it's not easy for you to be like me and Caroline, you belong to the same category of non-humans, at least not normal humans, but then again, how did you become like this?

"Of course I wasn't born with it, otherwise wouldn't my parents and all my family members be like me?" Lilia shrugged her shoulders and her chest seemed to tremble, "I'm going to be like this, because I found out when I was a junior high school student, and I'm going to tell you a story that may be a little long, but it's not as long as you said about yourself." Would you like to hear me tell you slowly?"

"Brother Xie, let's just say it, we don't care. Weisk said, and at the same time, Richard beside him and Feng Longde opposite Lilia both nodded, "Anyway, we used the cooked food and drinks provided by Lao He to fill our hungry stomachs, even if you talk until dark, it's nothing-Lao He, can you take out some more drinks from your what, oh, space ring." So that Brother Xie can moisten his throat. ”

"Well, it seems that all of you have big hearts. I, who resemble Ghost Rider, didn't even scare you out of the way or mad. Facing Weisk and Richard, who were still a little frightened of themselves at first, but now they have slowly returned to their usual state, as well as Feng Longde, who always looked quite calm, and Caroline, whose expression did not change during the whole process, Lilia felt a little at a loss for the first time, "Aren't you scared at all?"

"Afraid, why are you afraid?" was Feng Longde, who looked rather confused. "Just because you're a non-human life that I can't tell what type of life you are? Then I'm still a dragon spirit prototype, a tall and unique creature between life and death, and I'm not like a human than you if I'm really not human, why should I be afraid?"

Lao He has a point. Weisk spoke next, a thief smile on Wesker's face that resembled a complete sense of disobedience. "Lao He is a strange lifeform with all the basic abilities of Brother A and the ability to roar the dragon and play with the soul, and it is more terrifying than you on the whole, we are not afraid, what are you afraid of? Although Lao Li and I were indeed a little frightened by your identity at the beginning, but isn't it the same as when we were initially frightened by Lao He's self-detonation identity and the Teutonic Empire? Common sense and cognition are true, in fact, the main reason is that the amount of brain computing when we heard the truth was not too much, so we were stunned on the spot."

"That's what I thought, Cherylia, maybe your true identity is terrifying, but I don't really care. The last person to speak was Richard, who was silent for a while before swallowing his saliva, and after considering his words, he continued: "Although Lilia, you are a non-human who can transform into a fire skeleton, but you didn't deliberately hurt others, and you also went to solve Xie Yu's problem for me, who didn't like me and even made trouble with me and even took Lao He to lie down with a gun, Lilia, thank you for making you worry so much about me." ”

"It's nothing, it's just a matter of doing it. Hearing Richard's sincere words, Lilia's face seemed to flush with a faint flush, but it quickly passed away, "If you don't solve that guy as soon as possible, who knows when he will gradually get on a few of us and even the Iron and Blood Society, I just came up and blocked the source, there is nothing to thank." ”

"That being said, thank you for taking such a big risk for us. Richard sighed.

"Ahem" Seeing that the topic might be deviated again, Weisk faked a few coughs, "Brother Xie, you should tell us about your experience, you can talk about personal topics at any time, but not now." ”

"Okay, I'm ready to get started. Lilia took a deep breath, picked up a bottle of Pepsi and took a few sips to moisten her throat, and began the long story.

As Russians in China, the same rare Caucasian ethnic group like Lilia is different from the Germans whose population base is not low, and their population is only about 30,000 when it is full, which is not at all comparable to the Germans whose population has already exceeded 4 million and is striding towards 5 million, so it is rare to see Russians in China, and Russians are generally concentrated in the northwest of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. In the northern part of Heilongjiang and the northeastern part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Russians like Lilia's family, who settled in Tokushima City in Qinghai Province before becoming Russian citizens, are not quite rare but rare enough, and there are only a few dozen such Russian families in Tokushima City.

Here I have to mention the Germans: different from the Russians, the Germans can be said to be a native of China, they are mainly distributed in Qinghai Province, and the three northeastern provinces also have a lot of people who also migrated to the past during the Guandong period, so they are a relatively common Caucasian minority, even if they have been a little unhappy with the Chinese in recent years, but they can be regarded as accustomed to each other, and they will not be surprised.

However, the Russians are completely different, their Russian ancestors first migrated from Tsarist Russia to the three northeastern provinces of China in the early 18th century, and then in the late 18th century, due to the unbearable cruel rule of Tsarist Russia, a large number of Russians continued to migrate to China; the period when the largest number of Russians migrated to China was naturally the period between the end of the 19th century and the October Revolution in Russia, and the decade or so from the 20s to the 30s of the 20th century, which can be said to have reached its peak。

The general situation of these Russians who migrated to China was more complicated, and generally had a very obvious political exile character: the vast majority of them were Tsarist aristocrats, bureaucratic politicians, industrial and commercial capitalists, and kulaks. In particular, in the early 20s of the 20 th century, when the Russian Civil Revolutionary War broke out, the Soviet Red Army marched eastward to liberate the Far East, forcing the remnants of the White Bandit Army to enter the three northeastern provinces of China and Xinjiang along the railway line in an organized manner, and many of them later took root on the spot; after the Soviet Union carried out agricultural collectivization in 1929, quite a number of rich peasant elements and some wealthy middle peasants whose interests had been greatly infringed upon, and people who were dissatisfied with the excesses of the Soviet Union's collectivization also crossed the border to the three northeastern provinces and Xinjiang to settle down, including many people who smuggled into the country because of natural disasters in the early 30s of the 20 th century。

It was under this historical trend that the ancestors of the Lilia family entered China and settled in Qinghai Province for a long time, until some time ago the family reapplied for their original Russian citizenship and settled a second residence in Moscow. (To be continued.) )
