"I didn't trust her much."

"It's that I believe in the power of love, strong enough to change anything."

"Do you understand?"

"Is the power of love...... Lu Mingze smiled bitterly, "Maybe I really don't understand." ”

"It's strange if you know, day by day there is only power and power in your head." Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes.

"I'm pursuing power and power, isn't it for you, brother?" The little devil rolled out a mournful look.

"Okay, okay, I see." Lu Mingfei sighed, "I just want you to understand that sometimes power and power are not that important, and it can't solve all problems. ”

"Really?"

"As for the love you mentioned brother, I will try to feel it." Lu Mingze took off the top hat on his head and put it on his chest, "And wait and see." ”

……

……

"Whoa, whoa!" Fingal pointed at Natsumi and suddenly screamed.

"Brother Fingal, what's your name? Think you're a rooster? Xia Mi was taken aback and a little dissatisfied.

"No, junior sister, you ......" Fingal gestured to the corners of Xia Mi's mouth, "Why did you suddenly have an extra piece of sauce at the corner of your mouth?" ”

"Isn't that weird? I guess it was accidentally stuck when I gnawed on the pork knuckle. Lu Mingfei hurriedly stood up to play a round, and at the same time secretly scolded in his heart that this Lu Mingze was really not a thing, he was gone, and he didn't take away his pranks.

Chu Zihang came back to his senses and looked fixedly, there were two handfuls of mustache-like sauce on Xia Mi's mouth.

"Not that problem!" Fingal shuddered, "I obviously didn't have this thing at the corner of my sister's mouth just now, and then when I looked at it again a moment later, it suddenly appeared on her face." ”

"Do you mean a live haunter in broad daylight? Not really......" said Nono, frowning, "maybe you're wrong?" ”

"How could I be wrong?" Fingal was so angry that smoke rose above his head, "I'm the paparazzi of the paparazzi, the king of the paparazzi!" Do you know what is the most important thing about being a paparazzi? Eyes! Take all the things you see and quickly pick out the ones that are useful to you......"

"Maybe I got it." Natsumi looked down at the food on her plate, a little puzzled, she also felt as if time had been suspended by someone for a while......

couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lu Mingfei.

There was nothing out of the ordinary, Lu Mingfei was whispering something to Nuo Nuo, making Nuo Nuo giggle.

What could that be? Natsumi struggled to think of any possibility.

Suddenly, a soft touch came from her lips, and she turned her head to see that Chu Zihang was holding a tissue in his hand, carefully wiping off the sauce for her.

"Senior brother...... What are you doing? Xia Mi asked blankly, as if she didn't expect Chu Zihang to make such an intimate move.

"Don't move." Chu Zihang said, still with the same expressionless face, "I'm helping you wipe your mouth." ”

Xia Mi was instantly ashamed, as if she was going to find a hole to get into.

Ahhh Ten thousand years of iceberg elm head Chu Zihang actually knows how to be considerate?

But she didn't dodge Chu Zihang's hand, but her eyes widened, just waiting for him to finish wiping, like a docile deer.

"Alright." Chu Zihang withdrew his hand casually, "Pay attention to eating next time." ”

"Got it." Xia Mi nodded ignorantly, not yet recovering from Chu Zihang's intimate actions just now.

"Is this an immortal passing by and touching my senior brother's head?" Lu Mingfei also looked stupid, "Instant enlightenment? Embark on the road of love from now on? I'm too good at flirting with this, I can't even think of this kind of flirtation. ”

"You really can't think of it." Nuno gently bumped him on the shoulder, "Learn a little, and you will tease me like this in the future, understand?" ”

"I'm no worse than my senior brother when I'm in love with the saint." Lu Mingfei smiled, "Last time we were on the rooftop of my house......

"Don't say it!" Nono pressed his fingers to his mouth, "That night was a secret between us. ”

"Roger." Lu Ming swore to the sky, "Never tell anyone." ”

……

……

It was a leisurely afternoon, and a few people had finished their lunch from the cafeteria and were walking along the forest trails of Kassel.

"Senior sister! Come here, come here! Lu Mingfei beckoned to Xia Mi with a thief's eyebrows, and shouted in a low voice, "Hurry up, don't let Senior Brother see it." ”

"What's the matter? So nervous. Natsumi trotted, her bohemian skirt fluttering in the air.

"Tomorrow afternoon, we will wait for you in the cafeteria!" Lu Mingfei's expression was serious.

"Wait for me?" Natsumi wrinkled her nose, "What are you doing?" ”

"Of course, it's to discuss Chu Zihang's strategy plan together!" Lu Mingfei said bitterly, "Don't you want to chase after Senior Brother?" ”

"Of course!"

"That's it, remember, tomorrow afternoon at dinner time, I, Brother Fingal, and your sister Nono."

"The temporary Kassel four-person emotional think tank is specially for you, junior sister!"

"Doesn't sound like a good look......" Natsumi whispered.

"Senior sister, that's not right." Lu Mingfei patted his chest and swore an oath, "Senior Brother Lu, I, the emotional master who has been famous in Kassel for a long time, think back then, the people who chased you Sister Nuno could line up from the bottom of the dormitory to the school gate, and in the end, I didn't succeed in winning it?" ”

"I'm not suspicious of you...... "Xia Mi stuck out her tongue, "but to Senior Brother Fingal, after all, Senior Brother, if someone as frustrated as you can catch up with Sister Nuno, it is a proof of strength in itself!" ”

"Can you not say that I am frustrated in the future, I won't be frustrated at all......" Lu Mingfei's face darkened, "Besides, you don't know Fingal's brilliant achievements at his peak, his girlfriend at that time was the current school flower of Kassel Academy!" ”

"So powerful?" Xia Mi was puzzled, blinking his eyes and throwing out a series of questions, "Then why doesn't he have a girlfriend now?" What about the original girlfriend? Can't see him and break up with him? ”

"......" Lu Mingfei froze for a few seconds, and his expression suddenly darkened, "His girlfriend ......"

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"His girlfriend died a few years ago."

"What?" Xia Mi was stunned, "Dead?" ”

"Slay the dragon." Lu Mingfei said faintly, "After all, there are only a few people who can live to the age of Principal Angers. ”

"Most of them basically died in the tasks of the Executive Department."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know......" Natsumi lowered her head.

"It doesn't matter, that's what it is, isn't it?" Lu Mingfei looked up at the sky, "You have already embarked on this road, no matter what, there is no way back." ”

"I can only rush to the finish line, gritting my teeth and holding back tears."

"Sounds horrible......"

"Take it easy, junior sister," Lu Mingfei patted her on the shoulder earnestly, "Since you and I can't quit, we should grasp the people or things around us." ”

"......" Natsumi didn't speak, lowered his head, and his eyes flashed with a strange light.

She felt that there was too much in the person in front of her that she didn't understand.

One second ago, he was still joking with her, and in the blink of an eye, he felt sad for a girl he had never met.

Then he persuaded her to cherish the people in front of her, it was really ...... It's so incomprehensible, as if he sees through everything he thinks.

"Senior Brother Lu......"

After a long time, she spoke, "Who is that person you are talking about?" ”

"Suddenly looking back," Lu Mingfei pointed not far away, "but the man is there, and the lights are dim." ”

Natsumi looked in the direction of his finger.

Chu Zihang's cold side face was as hard as iron in the sun.

……

……

On the first floor of the principal's office, there was a huge oak conference table among the bookshelves, and the table was full of people, so many that the back row had to stand to attend.

More than half of the professors of the Kassel Academy were present at the meeting, and some of the old faces had never been seen on campus, as white as if they had been dug out of ancient tombs.

Each person wears an antique silver ring on the little finger of his left hand, and the ring pattern is the "Half-Decayed World Tree", the emblem of the Kassel Academy.

Guderian was also given the opportunity to attend, but was squeezed into a corner. He cautiously looked at the expressionless old faces, pinched his empty little finger, and blushed with excitement.

The antique silver ring is the exclusive honor of a "professor for life", and a professor who has served as a model of education for 30 consecutive years after the Kassel student becomes a full-time professor can add the word "tenure" to the title of "professor".

And Guderian also won the title of "professor" because he brought out Lu Mingfei, an excellent student.

But it's just a "professor", which means that he is on temporary duty and turned into a regular job, and there is no word "for life".

"Oh my God! That's Doug Jones, the core expert on the Manhattan Project! A milestone in the history of nuclear physics! I thought he was dead! Guderian elbowed Manstein next to him.

"And Jean Grus, my God! Is it really him? It was he who allowed the United States to get to the moon ahead of the USSR! And he turned down the Nobel Prize! ”

"I'm going to pass out! Give me a hand, it's Briel Binat, known as the "King Solomon of Mathematics"! Guderian tried to keep his voice down, but his voice was shaking.

"Don't go into the city like a countryman!" Manstein had to reprimand him in a low voice, "No! You're now like a star-chasing girl facing Lady Gaga! ”

"But in front of them, I don't even have the level of a star-chasing girl!" Guderian said seriously, "I knew they were all tenured professors at the Kassel Academy, I just didn't think of it...... They're all alive! ”

"As a half-breed, it's natural to live longer than the average human, and there's nothing to fuss about."

"And they only have research left in their heads, not even a life, and if possible, let their limbs degenerate and only have one brain to think, they are probably willing to ...... Do you want to be like them? ”

"I don't want to ......," Guderian scratched his head.

Manstein appreciated the fact that this old academic maniac still had a shred of sanity.

Although they have known each other since childhood and graduated from Harvard, Manstein took a path that was not at all different from Guderian's.

He has been an active community activist, has minored in business and law school, and was a prominent figure on the Harvard campus when he was not bald in his youth.

At that time, Guderian was a grizzled academic dog, forever in the laboratory and in the library, dreaming of becoming a great scientist.

The level of the two men many years later is telling, although Manstein's graduation thesis was written by the Guderian gang.

But now Manstein is a professor of political science at the Kassel Academy and head of the Discipline Committee. Guderian had just received the title of "Professor".

Manstein always wanted to find a good opportunity to teach his old friend how to follow his own path in life...... Although Guderian's life path is probably halfway through......

"Where am I worthy to be like them?" Guderian was as shy as a girl who was excited about her idol in the face of her idol, "All I want in my life is to be able to serve tea and pour water for the madmen who run for the truth......"

Manstein silently held his forehead, not knowing how to describe the feeling of powerlessness in his heart.

"Silence." Ange buckled the brass bell in front of him.

Guderian and Manstein kept their mouths shut, in fact, from the beginning of the meeting to the present, only the two of them were cooing, and most of the participants were as solemn as dead parents......

And those "tenured professors" who live in seclusion at the pinnacle of academia have expressionless faces...... It's like a dead mom and dad.

"What level of dragons can do it?" Ange looked around, breaking the silence.

"Are you sure it's the dragons?" Doug Jones, head of the physics department, pondered the words.

"Look at this photo, the entire metal structure of the train station roof nearly collapsed in just a few seconds, and the huge shear force flow destroyed the metal parts from the inside in an instant."

Ange put a high-precision black-and-white photo on the table, the twisted aluminum beam had an unusually hideous beauty, "Although for some unknown reason, the dragon finally chose to stop, but we took this photo at the scene of the eucalyptus. ”

"This is not an ordinary earthquake that can explain the past."

Ange glanced at the gray-haired old man to the left of the conference table, "Grus, tell me about your analysis. ”

"Ghostly stress." Gruss only said six words.

"Ghostly stress?" The professors looked at each other, although it came from the mouths of the top experts in the academic world, but the description was too unbelievable.

"The internal defects of the metal are like invisible weaknesses, and if the external forces are applied very cleverly, and the shear stresses are abnormally concentrated at the defects, they can have extremely bad consequences, curling, tearing, and breaking, and there will be a knock-on effect," Gruss said, looking around, "Do any of you know the ancient methods of boxing in the East?" ”

No one answered, the thinking of academic geniuses is so elegant, they can trace the ancient oriental boxing method, and the professors all have the feeling of floating in the clouds without touching the ground.

Gruss was pleased with this reaction, which just shows that his research in mechanics is extraordinary, "The ancient Orientals, especially the Chinese, were good at boxing, and legend has it that they could use their fists to smash hard objects, such as huge rocks. ”

"And the key to success is the position of the blow and the technique of force, which must be used with delicate force to hit the most vulnerable places."

"The Chinese call that location the 'eye' or 'cave', and the rock has the eye of the rock, and the steel also has the eye of the steel."

"The force is poured into the eye like flowing water, which causes stress inside the target, and the result of the stress concentration is that the entire target is shattered and even turned into powder in an instant. This is a miracle of mechanics. Gruss spoke eloquently.
