Under the kiln slab is the dusty basement.

Lu Mingfei knocked on the rusty lock and opened the basement, and a sour musty smell greeted him.

Fortunately, both of them wore masks, which were able to filter out a lot of odors.

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang walked into the basement.

The basement is a bit cluttered, and the walls are plastered with newspapers.

This was a messy small room, and Lu Mingfei could even imagine what Chu Tianjiao looked like when he was alone in this small room.

In this small room that belonged to him, he lay on the bed casually, or sat on the edge of the bed, drinking wine, listening to the popular songs of that era, and also doubted whether he thought about giving up, and finally silently persevered and guarded the city.

Because this city has people he loves.

Lu Mingfei's gaze fell on the bedside table, which was stacked with magazines from that era, and the magazines were thick with gray.

The cork board used to hold the album was in a magazine with a photograph in it.

Lu Mingfei still remembers that in that photo, it was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy and a beautiful woman with short hair.

That was Chu Zihang and Su Xiaoyan.

They looked at the lake in the distance, while Chu Tianjiao looked at them from outside the photo.

After entering the basement, Chu Zihang became even more silent.

He looked at the cluttered room, thinking about the man's life here.

In front of the bedside table, Chu Zihang picked up the cork board containing the album and looked at the only remaining photos quietly for a long time.

In the dark, Lu Mingfei couldn't see Zihang's expression clearly, but Lu Mingfei knew that Chu Zihang should be given time alone at this time, and Chu Zihang and the man should be given time alone.

Lu Mingfei found an aluminum alloy case engraved with a half-decayed World Tree in the corner, which contained weapons provided by the Kassel Academy, which was a small weapons depot.

Lu Mingfei went out with the box.

As Lu Mingfei left, in the dark, Chu Zihang pinched the cork frame and slowly squatted down, his vision was a little blurry, and tears dripped uncontrollably on the album.

There was a time when he was frantically searching for traces of that man.

But the man named Chu Tianjiao disappeared completely as if he had never come to the world.

Chu Zihang clutched the only photo, the only thing left by the man.

...

...

Outside the old factory, Lu Mingfei sat on the side of the road, leaning back against Maserati, opening a can of beer and drinking it with his head up.

If there is vodka nearby, Lu Mingfei doesn't mind buying vodka.

Unfortunately, he could only find beer.

Su Xiaoqiao also woke up, sat down next to Lu Mingfei, took a can of beer and opened it, and asked, "Senior brother, why haven't you come out yet?" ”

As soon as Su Xiaoqiao's words fell, Chu Zihang came out of the old factory and walked towards this side.

Chu Zihang lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Senior brother, why are you so slow to find out if there are ghosts?" Su Xiaoqiao asked with great interest.

Chu Zihang shook his head.

Lu Mingfei grabbed a can of beer and threw it over, just said, "Come on, drink!" ”

Chu Zihang caught the beer, opened it, then sat next to Lu Mingfei, raised his head and drank the beer in one go.

It seemed that one can was not enough, and after drinking one, Chu Zihang picked up another can and drank it.

Although Su Xiaoqiao didn't know what happened while she was sleeping, the current atmosphere was obviously a little wrong, so she didn't speak.

All three of them drank in silence, and no one wanted to break the silence.

It wasn't until Chu Zihang drank the third can that his cold and slightly hoarse voice sounded, breaking the silence first, "I want to go to Kassel Academy." ”

This is the only chance to be able to chase his dad, he doesn't want to let go of this opportunity, he wants to know the truth.

Lu Mingfei held up his beer, "Man, you always need to know what you have to do, don't you?" ”

"Ahead, that's the goal!"

"Let's pay tribute to the past, look forward to the future, and walk well in the present!"

"Senior brother, do what you think in your heart!"

Chu Zihang picked up the beer and touched it with Lu Mingfei, "Mingfei, thank you!" ”

Only Lu Mingfei knew why Chu Zihang said thank you, but he just smiled.

There are a lot of things, and they are all in time.

"Wow, that's a good point, how do I feel like you're different?" Su Xiaoqiao also bumped into the two with a beer.

Su Xiaoqiao really couldn't imagine that Lu Mingfei could say such a reasonable thing.

After two dozen beers, Su Xiaoqiao couldn't hold it anymore, his face was as red as a peach, and he leaned on Lu Mingfei and wanted to sleep when he closed his eyes.

Lu Mingfei pushed her shoulder, drove her to the car, and said disgustedly, "You go to sleep in the car." ”

And Chu Zihang, who had not been baptized by Kassel Academy, obviously drank too much, and the senior brother who was paralyzed was also dyed red by alcohol at the moment, and put his arm around Lu Mingfei's shoulder and said, "It would be nice if you were in the same class as me, so that we can go to Kassel Academy together." ”

Lu Mingfei heard this, smiled, and thought to himself, Senior brother, do you think that anyone can go to Kassel Academy?

That's a place that only a madman can go.

"Senior brother, don't worry, I'll go next year, this year you go to lay down the big country first, and when I arrive next year, I will rely on your care, senior brother." Lu Mingfei said with a smile, "When the time comes, senior brother, you will cover me." ”

"Whoever bullied you, I will definitely help you fight back." Chu Zihang said vaguely, "When I was young, there was a guy who practiced martial arts, beat me up, and scolded my mother for clinging to a rich man, do you know how I did it?" ”

Before Lu Mingfei answered, Chu Zihang said to himself, "At that time, I couldn't beat him, so I went to sign up for the Children's Palace, and I also found a lot of teachers to study, and finally found that guy before graduating from elementary school and repaired him severely." ”

"Because if I don't fix it, I won't be able to find him."

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "His family didn't trouble you?" ”

Chu Zihang sneered, "His family is not as rich as my family, and my mother married a rich man." ”

Hearing this, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

After Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei drank the rest of the beer, Chu Zihang threw the key to the Maserati to Lu Mingfei, "It's late, you should go back." ”

"What about you?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Chu Zihang stood up, collected all the cans scattered on the side of the road and threw them into the trash can on the side, and then looked at the old factory, "I'll talk to that person." ”

"Wouldn't that be dangerous?" Lu Mingfei hesitated, after all, the other party was a half-blood, even if it was only D-level.

Chu Zihang shook his head, "It's okay, I'll tie up all his hands and feet." ”

Lu Mingfei: "......"

Sure enough, even if he hasn't entered the Kassel Academy yet, the senior brother is still the same senior brother.

Lu Mingfei also knew that Chu Zihang would definitely do it if he made up his mind.

"Then I'll send Su Xiaoqiao back first, and the car will drive to the school to return you when the time comes." Lu Mingfei patted his ass and didn't linger.

Seeing Lu Mingfei get into the car, Chu Zihang said to Lu Mingfei seriously, "Mingfei, really, thank you." ”

"I really want to thank you, just find a time to treat me to a good meal when the time comes." Lu Mingfei waved his hand, raised the window, started the powerful engine, and the Maserati walked away.

Looking at the Maserati who was leaving, Chu Zihang touched the pocket on his chest, which contained the photo left by Chu Tianjiao.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Zihang walked into the old housing area.
