Chapter 144: The Knife Wielder
Ange gasped, beads of sweat dripping from his gray bangs, "What happened?" ”
What happened to make things so uncontrollable?
Zero looked at Ange and was silent for a moment, "Can't say. ”
Things have changed, the world line has changed, and Lu Mingze will not appear again.
The plan they had put in place many years ago is no longer possible.
Of course, this they do not include zero.
That year, she had just left the unnamed port of the frozen north, and that year, she had lost her parents, although they did not love her, and that year, she was so sad for the first time.
It was also that year that she was protected by the boy and escaped death for the second time, so she met Ange.
Time always moves forward.
Many things have been forgotten in the years, but some people, some attachments in their hearts, cannot be forgotten.
Memories are like wine, the longer you go, the more mellow you get, the longer you get more profound.
"When did the accident happen?" Zero didn't say, and Ange didn't ask.
Zero thought for a moment, "A year and a half ago. ”
A year and a half ago, Lu Mingfei walked back from the lower reaches of the long river of time, and the world line changed because of this.
The storm he unleashed had already disrupted their plans for Ange.
Since Lu Mingfei found Konstantin and Norton, everything has changed.
"A year and a half ago?" Ange squinted slightly, thinking of the year Lu Mingfei disappeared.
"Is it because of our chosen Blade Bearer?" Ange asked, "He's uncontrollable?" Or is it something else? ”
Zero raised his eyes to look at Ange and said calmly, "He doesn't want to slay the dragon." ”
Zero thought for a moment and added, "Those dragons are his friends, so he doesn't want them dead." ”
"That's it?" Ange asked.
"That's all." Zero said.
In this way, for him, it is enough.
The boy named Lu Mingfei was already lonely enough.
If he deprives him of all his friends, he has to kill him with his own hands, how cruel it is.
"Putting a knife into the body of one of the few friends is killing the other person at the same time, but also killing himself." Zero said slowly, "I don't think you want to see him in utter despair. ”
"Why?" Ange asked, "What happened to him?" ”
Zero remembered what Mai had said to him, so Zero said, "When he despairs, the world will follow suit." ”
Zero paused, "So, stop trying to push him to the brink of despair." ”
"You can't hold this knife."
Mai said that when he despairs, the most terrible monster will come to the world.
Zero doesn't know what Lu Mingfei has become in the Nibelungen of Tokyo's Night Eclipse.
But to be able to make Jiude Mai comment like this, it must be a terrible thing.
Listening to Zero's words, Ange was silent for a long time.
"What about him?" Ange asked, "Then our plan, our agreement, is it his unilateral breach of the contract?" ”
When Ange looked up, his eyes were still grim and cruel.
Zero naturally knew who Ange was talking about.
It was a boy with devilish abilities, he could do almost anything.
It was precisely because of the agreement with him that Ange had the confidence to be able to slay the dragons.
There is nothing that cannot be done with such a great being.
The one who can kill the dragon king, except for the dragon king, is an existence that is even more terrifying than the dragon king.
Thinking of that being, Ange looked down at his arm.
At this moment, there are still some scales left on his arms.
In fact, he also has the blood of that person in his body.
Before going back in time, the blood on his body was even more attractive to the corpse than Eri and the second-generation Yaki Orochi.
That's why those corpse guards gave up chasing after the Yaki Snake of the second generation of Eri and the second generation.
Of course, there is also a reason for distance.
However, his body is indeed contaminated with the breath of that person.
"He's gone." Zero said.
"Gone?" Ange looked puzzled, "This answer doesn't satisfy me. ”
"Literally, he's gone." Zero said, as if there was some kind of sadness flowing through the depths of his eyes.
After Lu Mingfei came back, Lu Mingze never appeared again.
"So is it true that he unilaterally broke the contract?" Ange sneered.
Zero didn't seem to hear Ange's taunt, but said seriously, "If you really want to count it, he didn't actually break the contract." ”
After all, before going back in time, Lu Mingze did send Norton to Kassel, and although there was a little accident, he still killed the two twins, the Bronze and Fire Lords.
After that, the king of the earth and the mountain was also killed by Lu Mingfei.
He was indeed living up to his promise with Angers.
They share a common purpose.
It's just that no plan is ever perfect.
Ange looked at Zero and didn't speak again.
This girl doesn't seem to be any different from when I first met her.
If I had to say it differently, it might be even colder.
Seeing zero, Ange remembered the wind and snow of that year.
At the beginning of 1992, there was a lot of snow and wind, and the border between China and Russia was even more unstable.
It was also that year that the academy caught the boy named Lu Mingze at the junction of China and Russia.
In order to capture him, the academy even sacrificed a person who possessed the Spirit of Words.
As the headmaster and leader of Kassel, after catching Lu Mingze, how could Ange not go to see it in person?
And all the plans started at that time.
After Lu Mingze was captured, the Doomsday faction led by Lu Lincheng and others appeared in the academy.
They built the Nibelungen on Siberia based on Lu Mingze's body, and used it as a base for human survival.
And Ange, it was there, that he met Lu Mingze.
No one knew what deal they had struck, and everyone involved in them knew it.
Their decision, as cold as the wind and snow in Siberia.
There was an eerie silence in the air.
Ange knew that if there was no Lu Mingze, then all plans would come to naught.
"He didn't break the contract, so there was a problem with the knife?" Ange raised his head, he looked at Zero, "Lu Mingfei, what happened?" ”
What kind of thing is it that makes things so uncontrollable.
Lu Mingfei is Kassel's weapon, their dragon-slaying knife.
Now, this knife, out of control?
"Can it change so much in just one year?" Ange asked.
Lu Mingfei's past records and his life experience have all fallen on the file.
There is no record, only the year he disappeared.
But can a year make such a big difference in a person?
To be able to make a fundamentally scrap person so unrecognizable?
"Not just a year." Zero thought of what Lu Mingfei had experienced, and was silent for a long time, "He has experienced far more than you imagined." ”
"Headmaster, you lost your friend a hundred years ago, and the flame of hatred burned in your chest for a hundred years."
"But have you ever thought about how many years the flame of his hatred will burn if he loses the only friend he regards as a treasure?"
"A hundred years? A thousand years? Or 10,000 years? Or until the extinction of humanity? Until life is hopeless? ”
"Headmaster, plans have changed." Zero said slowly, "Now, it's not you holding the knife anymore, and it's not anyone holding the knife, but the knife, walking by itself." ”
In the past, it was Ange, and it was Lu Mingze who pushed the knife and gave the direction to the knife.
Now, it was the knife that chose its own direction.
Whoever dares to stop him, he will cut whom!
His purpose was so determined.
The road he had walked, the blood he had shed, the tears he had shed, and the endless regret had made him know what he was going to do and how to go.
People can't always be the same, can they?
As much as he has traveled, he has grown.
Everything he has experienced has made him grow and strong.
Nobody understands him, no one understands him.
If he is not strong, if he does not move forward, then who does he bow his head to?
There was no turning back for him.
In order to stop spilling the blood that once flowed, and to stop the tears that once flowed, he can only do this.
The weight of his heart is something no one can measure.
Zero watched him go all the way.
That cowardly boy like a waste material, step by step to today, I don't know how many bitter tears have flowed behind my back.
His steps were so lonely, alone.
It reminded Zero that she had once trekked across the endless ice fields.
Ange sighed, no one knew how he was feeling at the moment.
"If I were to kill him, what do you think I would have been successful?" Then, Ange asked.
"I'll help him." Zero said, "To help him is to help myself." ”
"And." Zero raised his eyes to look at the old man, and there was still a fire burning in his eyes, "Moreover, I advise you not to have such thoughts, Headmaster. ”
"Why?" Ange asked, "Could it be that his Time Zero is better than mine?" ”
"His spirit is not time zero." For Ange, Zero doesn't need to hide Lu Mingfei's words, "His words are mirror pupils." ”
"Mirror pupils? Like you? Ange's pupils shrank, and for the first time, a look of shock appeared on his face.
"Same as me, but stronger and more terrible than me." Zero said, "He can use any word, as long as he has heard it, seen it, and his body can withstand it, he can even use the Rhine, he can use the Judgment, and even the Candle Dragon." ”
"I think the principal should know what that means."
Ange took a deep breath, his face solemn, "Comparable to the Dragon King!" ”
It's more terrible than the Dragon King.
But this sentence Zero did not come out.
Moreover, what Lu Mingfei is even more terrifying than the Dragon King is the mirror pupil that can copy all the words and spirits.
Ange always thought that Lu Mingfei's words and spirits were the same as him, and they were also time zero.
It seems that Lu Mingfei has already begun to conceal it.
Lu Mingfei has already been on guard against Kassel!
"Does he hate Kassel?" Ange asked.
Now, Ange is more concerned about Lu Mingfei's attitude towards Kassel.
If Lu Mingfei has a grudge against Kassel, then it will be the most troublesome thing for Kassel.
This old man seems to have gone from being able to kill Lu Mingfei to caring about Lu Mingfei's attitude towards Kassel.
"I don't think he hate." Zero said.
Kassel is also the process of Lu Mingfei's growth.
There, there are so many fond memories of him.
How could he hate Kassel?
"At most, he's just on guard against your school board." Zero said again.
After so much, Lu Mingfei no longer trusts the school board.
He is already living in a web of lies, who can he trust?
Even if it's zero, it's not clear what the specifics are.
She just knew that Ange and Lu Mingze had reached an agreement.
After what happened later, she could also roughly guess what Lu Mingze was going to do, which was to send these dragon kings to Ange, and then let Lu Mingfei kill them.
These things are the deals that Ange made after meeting Lu Mingze.
Killing all dragons, zero guess should be Ange's persistence, and he also proposed it.
As for Lu Mingze, what Lu Mingze got in this deal, Zero didn't know, because Lu Mingze didn't tell her.
At that time, she didn't think about these things at all.
Rhine exploded, and Lu Mingze protected her with his body, but even so, she still received the impact.
For this reason, she even recuperated for a long time in the Nibelungen built by Pulin.
When she finally left the Nibelungen, she left with Angers.
And that boy, the boy named Lu Mingze, remained in the Nibelungen forever.
He said he would wake up again.
Zero is convinced of this.
Even though his body was crucified in the Nibelungen, chained to bronze pillars, and soaked in tens of thousands of tons of mercury, he was still strong.
As powerful as in the orphanage in Black Swan Harbor.
Even more powerful than when he was in Black Swan Harbor.
He's always elusive.
Even though he no longer has a body, he can still show up occasionally.
He is like a god, and like an omnipotent demon who tempts the world.
But whether he is a god or a demon, he can't change it, he doesn't give up again and again, he doesn't give up.
He reborn her with his blood, and he used his body to shield her from the flames.
He always looked indifferent, but sometimes he was very cold and frightening.
But she wasn't afraid.
She had nothing to fear anymore.
Now, he's gone.
So what she had to find, she had to rescue him.
Don't abandon what you say, don't give up.
Before, she was rescued, but now, it's her turn.
She also wants to be a useful person!
The air was quiet, somewhat oppressive.
Neither Ange nor Zero spoke, each had their own mind.
The joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected.
"Yo, are you done?"
At this time, a voice rang out.
Immediately after, the air distorted, and Mai, who was wearing a black tights, emerged from the air.
She still covered her face, but it didn't prevent her from appearing generously.
Ange glanced up at Mai Sakade.
"Headmaster, don't look at me like that, although you are very attractive, I don't want to have afternoon tea with you, that's something that only little sisters like." "I know you're hesitating what to do, headmaster, whether to continue the fight or stop the plan." ”
"But before that, I think you should be more interested in this matter." Mai said as she tossed a document to Ange.
