Chapter 55: The Unfulfilled Promise
There has never been a moment when Lu Mingfei would hate his decadence and powerlessness as much as he does now, watching His Royal Highness the princess he wanted to protect fight to the death in a group of 'aliens', and all this was just to save him, an incompetent 'knight'......
He's here to protect her, it's his job. It had been decided from the moment he took her out of the cell-like building that he had to be brave, otherwise, wouldn't the brothers' bloody efforts on the battlefield of Tokyo be in vain?
That group of aliens is a relic left by the dragon clan, the overlord who once ruled the world in ancient times, and is the servant and minions of the dragon king named 'Deadpool', and he and Eri Yi and others are all hybrids of humans and dragons with pure dragon blood flowing in their bodies, which is another relic of the ancient overlord dragon clan that survives in the world. Originally, dragons and humans were mortal enemies, but their half-bloods were on the side of humans, and Deadpool was on the side of dragons.
This world is far from being as ordinary as it seems. Now that the dragons of the normal world have disappeared, there are still countless dark tides surging in the shadows, and the dragon kings who ruled the human race in ancient times are about to awaken, and once they awaken, destruction and slaughter will return to the world, and the goal of these half-breeds is to interrupt this process.
Uesugi Eri, this girl is an important key to solving the incident of the White King, one of the two emperors of the dragon clan, this is the clue they have only mastered so far, the only clue. This 'clue' is true to everyone, but he is very close to him, so he is entrusted with taking care of this girl. But now it's ......
At this moment, Eri Yi in her arms suddenly moved, hugging his neck tightly. Her body was cold, her eyes were glazed, and she couldn't stop shivering. Originally, the girl was slender and not the type of a bird, but at this time, she shrunk into a small ball, like a baby in Lu Mingfei's arms.
When I hugged her, I realized that her skin was as delicate and soft as other girls, but now it was cold and hard to the touch, and the sharp scales had not all faded, and the thin scales on her ankles and back had stubbornly remained. Violently dilated veins spread along her back and thighs like black spider webs, thick and thin veins beating beneath her skin like small snakes.
Looking at the painful face of the girl who fell down due to the erosion of dragon blood in his arms, for a while, Lu Mingfei's teeth tightened and loosened, and he blamed and regretted his incompetence even more.
The shattered images from before invaded his mind againβ
In the midst of blood and fire, the horned human figure fought with those aliens, her skirt fluttered, and the slender calves that had made Lu Mingze uneasy were covered with pale scales, and the muscles slowly rose and fell under the scales.
Casually cut open the last few Deadpools that were not dead, and she walked towards Lu Mingfei.
They looked at each other, Lu Mingfei was lying on his back in the stagnant water, Eri Yi had a pure black sky above his head, and the whole world was annihilated by the storm.
This is the gaze between monsters and monsters, the wounds on Lu Mingfei's body are healing at a high speed, and the scales on Eri's body are clasped one by one, making a crisp sound, and the water droplets fall on these two blazing bodies, evaporating and turning into a white mist, which dissipates with the wind.
She was still wearing a beautiful blue-purple dress covered with a black veil, but in Lu Mingfei's eyes, she had already turned into an empress in a blood-colored robe, and her bright golden eyes were no longer wary of the world, but full of the joy of killing.
She is indeed a monster, a monster that cannot be tolerated in this world.
As the 'strongest ghost' among the exterminators of the Japanese branch, the bloodline in the body of Eri Uesugi who is the 'moon reading life' is uncontrollable, and she holds the spirit of the dragon clan No. 111 - she is originally a super hybrid very close to the dragon race, and there is a possibility that she will be eroded by the dragon's blood and become Deadpool at any time. Just as the Japanese underworld leader Gen Zhisheng commented, once Eri gets out of control and goes berserk, she will be a humanoid dragon king, and the threat level is comparable to that of a nuclear bomb! That's why she was locked up in that prison building.
Maybe she was going to kill herself? This thought only flickered in Lu Mingfei's mind, because the bloody empress leaned down and held him tightly in her arms.
Lu Mingfei was stunned, did you ever feel this way once upon a time...... Only by holding that person close can you know that you are alive.
He suddenly remembered that he wasn't here to protect the so-called 'clues', and Eri was not an object, she was a living girl!
"Your body...... Does it matter?"
"It's okay, in fact, this body can't last too long, and I haven't had a serum injection for several days. Such a situation has been there for a long time, but it is not so obvious. β
I remember asking her that a few days ago. At that time, Eri took off her black gauze gloves and showed Lu Mingfei her wrist covered with black veins.
"Have you been holding on until now?"
"It's okay, it's fun to be out there with Sakura, so I can stick to it. It was the freest time of my life, I hadn't had it before, and I never will. β
"It turned out to be so hard. β
"If you want to see the outside world, you have to pay a lot of money, and I have known it for a long time. β
Lu Mingfei looked at her eyes, and there was sunlight in her eyes. Lu Mingfei tilted her head, she also tilted her head, and a strand of long crimson hair fell from her ear.
Is that so? It turns out that just running out to see the world has to pay a lot of price and endure a lot of pain. I know that my lifespan is shorter than others, but I don't want to live my life in that hut that never changes.
The concept of "surviving" is not to wait to die slowly, but to keep running, to run far away to see the world as wide as possible, and to run until you are exhausted so that you will not regret it. Many people are able to bask in the sun every day, but no girl who rarely sees the sun can understand the meaning of "lived".
Therefore, no matter how uncomfortable it is, it will not show a painful expression, eat all those cheap foods, change into beautiful clothes every day, show your young and proud skin generously, and write in amazement at everything you see and hear, "That's amazing!"
"Eri is amazing. Lu Mingfei wrote.
Eri laughed silently.
"Is there anything else you want to go?" Lu Mingfei wrote again.
Eri was stunned for a moment, and her eyes, which had already dimmed, suddenly lit up.
"I want to go to ......"
......
As a result, until now, Eri doesn't know who he is or what he does, so many days she has followed a man of unknown origin around Tokyo City, dining and sleeping at the same table with him, and even changing clothes does not avoid him, this kind of girl is really brainless.
But sometimes, looking at the sleeping girl by the street light outside, she looked like a real princess, and when she fell asleep, she seemed very quiet and well-behaved, and this kind of girl should have slept in the royal bedroom decorated with white satin and lace sheets, quiet and beautiful, waiting to be awakened by the prince. Instead of following his unromantic, unfunny ** silk to live a wandering life like a fugitive.
Obviously the girl who is so attached to you, she believes in you very much, thinks that you are a decent gentleman, sleeps in the same room with you but is not afraid of your bad intentions, she listens to your carefully, as if you talk every word, she follows you silently, like your tail...... There has never been such a person who needs you so much and is willing to share the best scenery in your heart with you, how can you go against her expectations?
At this time, the sky rumbled with colorful fireworks, and he knew that the fireworks display that Erika was most looking forward to had begun.
It's a pity that the people who are most eager to see this beauty are no longer able to see it.
On August 15, he promised to take her to see the most beautiful fireworks in Chiba, but he agreed, but he couldn't do it!
(ps: When I wrote this chapter today, I reviewed the dragon clan again, and I cried blind again, my goddess of pear clothes!!Concubine Ming, you can't paint pear clothes to my family like this, why don't you even want to think about it when you are four!?Can you forget the memories of you and her because you are sad?...... You're the only proof of her existence!!)
