Chapter 3: The Lonely Ghost
After being born in this world, Lu Nan has never killed anyone, half-breeds are not human, just like X-Men or superheroes of some bloodline, although they have the appearance of people, they are not people.
The innate special bloodline makes this group of non-human and non-dragon hybrids hover between the "strongest" and "weakest", facing more or less exclusion without choice. Like a beautiful flock of chickens, they feel uncontrollably lonely.
They call this feeling 'blood sorrow', and 'blood mourning' is a mental thought that dragon hybrids must have. The higher the level, the higher the concentration of Blood Lament.
And there is a reason for the existence of blood mourning, the dragon blood of the half-breed comes from the dragons, and the dragon blood of the dragons comes from Nidhogg, and Nidhogg is actually not a creature of this world.
This is not knowledge in textbooks, and no other half-breed has told Lu Nan, and no one will even believe it if it is passed on.
But Lu Nan just had such a feeling.
Because it doesn't belong to this world at all, its loneliness is even obscured by the stars.
Under the starless night sky, there are lonely ghosts everywhere. And Lu Nan's task is to recycle them here, and then take them to where they should go after a certain condition is triggered.
Therefore, he prefers to use the word 'extradition' to refer to his actions as 'killing' rather than the terrible word 'kill'.
That's why he called this place 'Returning Ruins', the final destination of all lonely ghosts.
Before leaving, Lu Nan finally landed his eyes on the statue of Nidhogg, and he raised his head slightly, looking at the top of Nidhogg's head.
There sat another small humanoid sculpture, his eyes lowered, and the loneliness revealed in his expression was like a fog, making people unconsciously hold their breath.
Whoever it is, you just have to look at it to know that he is the loneliest guy in the world.
He is also the person who Lu Nan needs to be extradited the most.
...
A few hours later.
At the door of Chen's house, Nuo Nuo was sitting on the high threshold bored, Lu Nan handed over a cup of milk tea bought outside, Nuo Nuo took a sip and smacked his lips.
"When?" She asked casually.
"Yesterday." Lu Nan replied casually.
"You didn't have a day by my side, and you gave birth to a big fat boy?" Nono grinned at the baby crawling on the ground, looking like he was going to eat him, "What's his mother's name?" ”
"I don't know, I'll die when I meet."
"Scumbag."
Nono took a sip and reached out to poke the baby's round face. The baby gripped her fingers curiously, smiling pointedly, apparently unaware that his mother was dead.
"It's so good, being an orphan at this time is happiness, there is no memory left, and you won't be tortured."
Nono stuffed the milk tea cup into the hem of the garment, poked the straw out of the neckline, and stuffed it into the baby's mouth.
"But that's okay! I'll treat it as if it were my own! She imitated the expression of the mother's joy in mentioning the child after the romance drama, "Call Mom!" ”
The black line on the face of the baby biting the straw, it's hard to imagine this expression with a hint of collapse appearing on the face of a baby who looks less than a year old, but it just appears.
"I'll go! Invincible is written on his face! Nono screamed.
The wonderful picture makes people unbearable to look at directly, but this is what Nuno will do, a female madman, Lu Nan looked at this picture quietly, and a smile finally flashed in her emotionless eyes.
In fact, Lu Nan is not a person without emotions, and under that face that does not have too much emotion, there is a soul that is easily touched, sensitive, and gentle.
And Nuno can always find them, the performance of a madman, more to make Lu Nan happy.
Lu Nan knows.
Maybe it's fate, or maybe it's a necessary atonement. In addition to making Lu Nan stronger, the 'extradition' of the hybrid can also allow him to see some of their memories before his death, which is why Lu Nan had a sad face when he returned to the ruins.
There must be pity for the hateful, though the woman has killed many innocent people. But her feelings for her children are genuine.
Leaving the baby before Lu Nan arrived was not to escape, she knew that she couldn't escape, but she just hoped to lead Lu Nan farther away, farther away, so as to protect her child.
Her love is true, but if the woman turns back time, she will still die, because she can no longer suppress the dragon blood in her body, Lu Nan will still give her relief.
She doesn't know what the child will face, and she can't control it, which is the saddest thing.
After spending a little time with Nuo Nuo, Lu Nan went to find the head of the Chen family, and there was a mahogany table in the center of the room surrounded by quaint bookshelves, and a red wine was placed on the table. The head of the house sat on the back of the table, holding a goblet and savoring it.
"Amarone, the top and most expensive red wine, sent by an Italian friend of mine." The head of the house took out a cup and handed it to Lu Nan, "There are two bottles in total, and the other bottle is you take back to Nuonuo." ”
Lu Nan nodded as agreed, reached out and took the red wine on the table, poured it into the glass and swallowed it, his face was shrouded in a hint of ruddy.
"I should thank you, do you have anything you want?" Said the head of the house
"Why?" Lu Nan asked.
"Because you helped me kill people I didn't want to, but I had to." There was a hint of nostalgia on the face of the head of the family: "She's beautiful, isn't she?" ”
"When I found her, she was covered in scales." Lu Nan said.
Of course, the guy covered in scales won't be easy to see, and it's not a mermaid from a fairy tale.
"It's a shame you didn't get to see her at her most beautiful." The head of the house smacked his lips, "I met her in an autumn when the sky was full of golden leaves..."
The head of the family said halfway, and suddenly stopped talking, because he noticed that Lu Nan was holding the wine bottle with a thoughtful look.
"What's wrong?"
"I've drunk this."
"I only got it recently."
The implication is that Lu Nan should not have drunk it.
Lu Nan thought quietly, he was not very good at drinking, but when he saw this bottle with yellow Italian on the surface, he unconsciously wanted to taste it.
There is an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if you have arrived at a certain place and suddenly feel as if you have been there.
Perhaps, it was the extradition of a half-breed who once drank? There will be such a situation, after all, the sadness of that mother before Lu Nan is about to leave will really be there.
Without waiting for deep thought, the next words of the head of the family led away all of Lu Nan's mind.
"Since you're not interested in my story, say something about you." The head of the house took out a document from the bookshelf behind him
"The Lu Mingfei you are looking for, we have found it."
.
In the middle of the night, two watches, maybe three watches, in short, it was a very late hour, and Lu Nan's door was knocked.
He got up from the bed and opened the door, where Nono was wearing a plain white nightdress, with her shoulders exposed, and her red hair was scattered behind her two thin shoulder straps.
"I'm hungry." She said.
"When you're hungry, go eat."
"You will gain weight by eating at night, you have to gain weight with me."
It's just a joke, of course, it's hard for hybrids to gain weight, and their always active cells will keep them in perfect shape by human definition, unless they are unrestrained.
But Lu Nan still followed Nuo Nuo, of course he knew that this so-called joke was just a reason, Nuo Nuo just wanted to find someone to accompany her for supper.
When he came to the dining room, Nono sat down on the edge of the beautiful long table, lit a flaming candle, and crossed his legs without any image.
Lu Nan walked into the kitchen next to the restaurant and looked for ingredients from the refrigerator. Simple and easy-to-make things like noodles are not enough, and Nono prefers to eat some irritating foods to activate her stomach.
Lu Nan skewered some ham, meat and vegetables with an iron skewer and fried them in a pot. When the skin is slightly browned, take them out, drain the oil and water, sprinkle some freshly prepared sauce, and the supper that can turn an ordinary girl into a little fat pig is ready.
When he came to the table, Nuo Nuo pulled out the cork of a bottle of red wine with his hand and poured it with a sip, Lu Nan took a look, it was the bottle of wine that the head of the family asked him to bring to Nuo Nuo.
"What did the old immortal tell you?" She picked up a ham and took a bite of it, asking.
"It's nothing, it's just that the person I've been looking for has found it."
"Is there really such a person?" Nuno looked a little surprised: "Isn't it really a duplicate name?" ”
"Perhaps, nothing special, but I'm going to check it out." Lu Nan said.
said so, but Lu Nan knew that it should not be the same name.
Judging from the information given by the head of the family, Lu Mingfei is extremely special, and it is likely to be a tricky existence, but these are things that cannot be said to Nuo Nuo.
"You just don't want me to go with you." Nuno suddenly said, "If there is nothing special, you will definitely take me with you, when you travel, but you don't." ”
After speaking, she picked up the bottle of red wine, raised her head and poured a few sips, the wine swelled up, and her pretty little face was as red as her hair.
“...”
Lu Nan didn't speak for a long time, I don't know how long he was silent, and the little supper that was fried was eaten. The empty bottle lay beside Nono's face, she was half-lying on the table, the fiery red candle reflecting the remaining liquor at the corners of her mouth and the jewel-like eyes, reflecting fluorescently.
She drank too much.
Lu Nan walked over and gently picked her up, carried her to her room and put her on the bed, covered the quilt, and turned around and walked out.
"I'm coming back." Nono hid himself under the quilt and his voice was muffled.
"Hmm."
