Chapter 42: Rainstorm Day
"It was a rainy day when I was fifteen years old, and I was trapped in school in the third year of junior high school because I had to be on duty." Chu Zihang began to recall.
Fifteen years old? The age is the same as the time of the Maybach case. Lu Mingfei secretly thought that he was only in his second year of junior high school at that time.
Chu Zihang said again: "After I called my mother to report that I was safe, I stayed in the classroom alone to do duty, and on the way, the girl in your class who was attacked yesterday, Liu Miaomiao, came to me and said that she could send me back." ”
"Liu Miaomiao also has something to do with this matter?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Nope." Chu Zihang returned.
"Then why are you mentioning her?" Lu Mingfei had a little headache, and Chu Zihang suddenly mentioned Liu Miaomiao, which made Lu Mingfei almost think that she was also a witness to the No. 0 viaduct.
"Because after that you showed up, and you asked her to give you a ride, and when you refused, you rushed into the rain alone." Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei and said the reason why he remembered him. "I had only heard your name before that day, and I only remembered you after that day."
"Ahem, ahem!" Lu Mingfei, who was drinking water, coughed up. He was a little embarrassed, Chu Zihang actually remembered him for such a reason. In other words, how bad his performance was at that time would be remembered for such a reason.
Chu Zihang continued: "When I reported my mother's safety, she asked me to contact my stepfather and ask him to send someone to pick me up. Instead of doing what she said, I contacted my biological father, who was still working as a driver at the time, and asked him to pick me up. And the car he was driving at the time was the Maybach. ”
"Your biological father, the missing driver?" Lu Mingfei didn't say death, although most people and the police thought that the driver was dead, but now that his son was in front of Lu Mingfei, it was better to be tactful.
"Yes, that's him. After he picked me up that day, he went up to the viaduct in the storm in order to get around the traffic jam. After going up, none of us noticed that we had ever seen that road, and we didn't think about why the other drivers didn't pass through here as if they hadn't seen this road. By the time we found the anomaly, we were already in the middle of it! Chu Zihang said with a slight loss, and his memory also fell into that rainstorm day.
……
The Maybach was driving at high speed on the viaduct at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, and the visibility outside the car window was very low due to the endless rainstorm.
On the co-pilot, Chu Zihang, who was originally in the back seat, was pushed forward by his father, and he was so frightened that he didn't realize that his father lifted him with one arm and was more than 1.7 meters tall.
"What was that just now?" He looked at his pretended composure father, wondering what the creature had just been able to catch up with and knock on the window while they were speeding at high speed.
"It's nothing, it's just raining." The man replied with a smile, and smiled reluctantly. He didn't tell his son the truth, and he didn't want him to see it, and now he could only press the gas pedal tightly, trying to shake it off.
"You lied to me! I just saw his eyes! He looked sideways when the window was knocked on and saw a pair of golden eyes outside the window.
There was another knocking sound outside the window, this time several together, on both the left and right sides.
"Fasten your seatbelts, I'm going to speed up." Hearing something knock on the door, the man's face changed and he didn't answer him again, and continued to step on the accelerator to reach a speed of 180 per hour. But he still couldn't get rid of the things behind him, and he didn't notice his son's abnormality when he drove seriously.
Chu Zihang fell into a strange state, as if some strange words appeared in front of him like a snake writhing. The next moment the picture changed, and he saw a woman who had given birth rolling in pain in an altar-like place. When he responded, he felt that his perception had been strengthened, and his vision, hearing, and smell seemed to have awakened, and his sense of the outside world was extremely clear. He tilted his head to look out the side window, where his golden eyes were reflected.
And his father was holding his hand at this time, and said to him as if sorry and happy, "Welcome to the real world, son. ”
……
"You're getting creature chasing you at speeds over a hundred yards?" Lu Mingfei asked a little incredulously, he had to assess the danger of the No. 0 viaduct this time. It is definitely not easy to chase Chu Zihang and them all the way after the creatures that can drive.
"Yes." Chu Zihang didn't tell the whole story of what happened there, but he just talked about it roughly, and he didn't say anything about the later conversation between the golden eyes and the father and son.
"And then? How did you escape? Lu Mingfei asked.
"Later, after getting rid of those strange creatures, Dad stopped the car and went down to check, not long after he walked into the rainstorm, I saw him shouting 'Hurry up, hurry up' at me from a distance and was covered with injuries, I was scared and started the car and ran away, and by the time I remembered that I shouldn't have left him, I had come out of there, and I couldn't find him anymore when I walked back." Chu Zihang once again concealed what happened later, after all, what he saw and heard in the future would be a little shocking, and it was estimated that even Lu Mingfei would not believe what he said, and would only feel that he was fooling him.
Lu Mingfei remembered this, and then said: "Then you abandon the car and leave the viaduct, and after the car is found, there will be news later." ”
"Yes, I wanted to run back to him, but before I knew it, I ran off the viaduct. I waited there for a long time and didn't see him come down again. After that, he was found and sent home. Chu Zihang remembered the perseverance when he thought that he should pick up the co-pilot's weapon and rush out to help the man, and the dazed self when he couldn't find him. And now there is only regret, regret that I didn't stay with him and charge at "that".
Lu Mingfei wanted to ask him why he didn't tell the police, but when he saw Chu Zihang's appearance now, he didn't ask.
Chu Zihang sat down in his chair full of powerlessness, as if he had returned to the wet rainy night in his memory.
He also had such a big emotion because of self-blame, blaming himself for asking his father to pick him up, blaming himself for leaving him alone and running away. Lu Mingfei thought so.
"I see." Lu Mingfei said loudly, pulling Chu Zihang back from his decadence. Chu Zihang looked at him stunned, not knowing what he knew.
"You're telling me this because you want me to help you investigate Viaduct 0, right?" Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang and said.
“…… Yes, but there can be danger here, and I still don't know what those car chases are. Chu Zihang decided to tell Lu Mingfei directly that there might be danger here.
Lu Mingfei smiled: "I rushed over the monster last night as soon as possible, I'm not afraid of this." Besides, my parents are also missing, and helping you is also helping myself. ”
"Thank you for your willingness to help me." Chu Zihang thanked him seriously, and when he thanked him, he stood up and stretched out his right hand to Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei also stood up, stretched out his right hand, and shook it with him.
After that, they discussed a lot of conjectures about the No. 0 viaduct, mainly Lu Mingfei was talking about the alien world according to his understanding of the magic knowledge, and Chu Zihang was listening. After a long time, they each left.
