"I was able to contact Norma once, but it only lasted a few minutes before the communication was cut off." Lu Mingfei said solemnly, "I didn't say anything important during the few minutes of contact, because I couldn't report what was happening here to the school."
"Is it because the signal is unstable?" Chu Zihang, the strongest science and engineering man in Kassel College, made a judgment immediately, "Has the magnetic field of this city been completely disrupted?"
"Yes, brother, you guessed right. It's not just the magnetic field that's disordered..." Lu Mingfei said as he walked to the window, pulled open the curtains and pushed open the locked window.
A loud thunder streaked across the sky, and bluish-white lightning illuminated the entire city in an instant. A strong wind blew in rain from the window, and the gauze curtains beside the bed fluttered like ghosts. Heavy rain poured down, and it seemed as if a gap had been made in the sky. Floods poured back into the city from the sky. Pitch-black clouds formed a vortex above an entire group of skyscrapers, and snake-like lightning moved and darted through the clouds.
Lu Mingfei closed the window, wiped his face wet from the rain from the wine glass for a while, and looked at Chu Zihang on the bed: "As you can see, Brother, the current climate is so abnormal that ordinary people would find Chengdu strange... The elements of this city are completely out of control!"
After a moment of silence, Chu Zihang asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"Six hours." Lu Mingfei said.
"When did the weather start to become abnormal?" Chu Zihang asked again.
"Six hours ago." Lu Mingfei said truthfully, "After we came out of Shilan Middle School, it rained very heavily on the way to Su Xiaoqiang's house. I have been in this city for so many years, and I feel that only the rainstorm seven years ago was so exaggerated."
"The timing just happened." Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei, "Do you think it has something to do with what happened to us at Shilan Middle School?"
"I don't know, but it's very likely that we discovered something, encountered something that science can't explain, and then the climate got out of control." Lu Mingfei paused and whispered, "It feels like we opened Pandora's box."
"Do you know what I saw in the mirror?" Chu Zihang's eyes fell on Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi.
"Is it related to your father's disappearance?" Lu Mingfei guessed cautiously, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have been stunned at that time."
"It's very dangerous." Eiry's expression was unusually serious. It was obvious that during the brief time she fought with that thing, she really felt a strong threat.
"Originally I just thought it was like that, but after what happened in Japan and what we read in that room not long ago, I think maybe I should really call that thing..." Chu Zihang slowly uttered a word, "'God'."
With a loud bang, a huge thunder struck outside the window, and the pale light illuminated the curtains. The thunder was so loud and deafening that even Su Xiaoqiang's home's high-end sound insulation materials could not block it.
"'God'... We probably already know what it is, but what exactly does it look like? Senior Brother, you never told me about it." Lu Mingfei scratched the back of his head and asked in a disrespectful tone, "Three heads and six arms? Four faces and eight forms? Or riding a dragon... Senior Brother, I'm not implying anything about you and Junior Sister, huh?"
"Not that strange. He is covered in white and black armor and a mask, sitting on a huge throne, with ghost-like shadows always gathering around him. He holds a curved spear and rides a giant horse with eight legs and prominent horns." Chu Zihang described it in the most straightforward language possible. "The first time you see Him, you can imagine the word 'God' in your mind."
“What the hell is Odin?” Lu Mingfei pretended to be exaggerated, then quickly returned to normal. “Well, actually I already knew it. After all, the clues given are very obvious. Norse mythology, the main god, death, the first thing that comes to mind is Odin… But I didn’t expect that the image of this thing is so concrete. Is Norse mythology really a history book?”
"But it's strange. Apart from those Deadpool-like ghosts, I can't see any connection between that thing and dragons." Chu Zihang frowned slightly. "The eight-legged horse may be a subspecies of dragons, but what is Kungunir?"
"It could be some ancient and powerful alchemical weapon, just like Xia Mi's 'Whisper of the Earth'." Lu Mingfei analyzed, "For something at the Dragon King level, it's normal that it doesn't have any dragon characteristics. Having lived for so long, they have some camouflage skills, just like Old Tang and Xia Mi. If no one tells you, who can tell that they're not actually human? So I think this thing is at least at that level."
"This thing shocked me as much as Herzog did." Chu Zihang thought about it and asked Lu Mingfei, "Do you think it could be the 'Black King'?"
"I don't think so." Lu Mingfei shook his head. "In Norse mythology, Odin and the black dragon Nidhogg are mortal enemies. If these two guys are the same person, then this myth is too far-fetched. Since we all think that Norse mythology is a documentary history, let's follow the relationship between the characters in it. Odin may be the enemy of the Black King."
"In the dragon clan, besides the White King, are there any other Dragon King-level beings who are enemies of the Black King?" Chu Zihang asked.
"In theory, all dragon kings are like this." Lu Mingfei repeated what Lu Mingze once said to him, "Dragons don't have the concept of family affection. For the sake of supreme power, they can kill twin brothers or even their own fathers."
"Betrayal is something that can happen between any species." Chu Zihang suddenly changed the subject, "Lu Mingfei, don't you think this incident is a bit strange?"
"Brother, you are talking about those hunters, right?" Lu Mingfei glanced at Chu Zihang. "It is indeed very strange. How could a group of hunters have such accurate information about Odin? How did they know it? Have they seen Odin's true face? This is impossible. Even your father and Brother Ye Sheng are missing. I don't believe that a group of hunters who don't know the details can have such great ability."
"And those books and lamps." Chu Zihang said calmly, "Flammable paper and kerosene lamps, and an almost sealed environment. Any normal person would know that such preparations are dangerous. It's like we were being deliberately guided."
"The fire is indeed on." Lu Mingfei nodded, looking unhappy.
"And that Jingzi, it was like it was deliberately placed there, hiding behind the books. The fragments knocked over the kerosene lamp and set the books on fire." Chu Zihang asked softly, "Does all this sound like it was destined to happen?"
He touched his shoulder, and when he felt Odin, the place ached slightly, and now he still feels like it's burning... He doesn't know if it's because the pain hasn't gone away, or if Odin is still hovering around him.
"Brother, do you suspect Su Enxi?" Lu Mingfei shook his head vigorously, his tone firm, "It can't be her. Although I also want to ask her, I can't contact her now, but I guarantee with my life that Su Enxi will never harm me. She is trustworthy."
"I don't doubt the boss lady." Chu Zihang shook his head, "I just doubt those hunters."
"They said they were hired by Su Enxi. I didn't have time to question them at the time because I thought other people probably didn't know about my cooperation with Su Enxi." Lu Mingfei said, "But now I think it's not impossible. There is no such thing as a wall that's impenetrable."
"In fact, when we saw the masks on their faces, we should have suspected that the hellhound Garm, Loki, Valkyrie... In Norse mythology, these characters are all Odin's subordinates." Chu Zihang said, "We were led into that secret room. I don't know if this is a conspiracy or a trap. If it weren't for either you or Eri, we might have been killed by Odin in that room."
"So all those people are Odin's men?" Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment, "Or does Odin have the ability to control other people's consciousness?"
"I don't know, but our situation is more difficult than we imagined." Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei and Eri, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for involving you in such a dangerous disaster. The current situation can only be described as a disaster."
Chapter 955 Help is coming
"Don't say stupid things, Senior Brother. You're still apologizing to me at this time. You didn't even frown when you helped me in Japan." Lu Mingfei patted Chu Zihang on the shoulder. "Besides, we are far from the end of the road now. Aren't you, me and Eri still alive and well? We are all intact."
"Complete..." Chu Zihang looked at the bandages on Lu Mingfei's body, seeming to not know how to evaluate this word.
"Do you feel guilty because I got burned while saving you?" Lu Mingfei understood Chu Zihang's meaning. "No need, Brother, you should know my physique. I don't have as powerful words as you, but I am strong because I am almost invincible."
As he spoke, Lu Mingfei untied the bandages wrapped around his body in front of Chu Zihang. Scars from sunburn were still faintly visible on his body, but they had already scabbed over. It was clearly only a few hours later, but these were not new wounds with a shiny surface. Instead, they were old wounds that looked hideous but were actually about to shed new skin. This was a sign that they were about to heal.
"You carried me away on your back, so my skin should have been burned too, right?" Chu Zihang asked.
“Yes, and there were also scratches from mirror fragments.” Lu Mingfei nodded and said, “Brother, the wounds on your body looked quite scary at the time. Some of the cuts and burns overlapped, and you were red, swollen and bleeding. Su Xiaoqiang was almost scared to tears at the time, but fortunately your handsome face was not seriously injured and was not disfigured…”
Before Lu Mingfei finished speaking, Chu Zihang also removed the bandages on his body.
"Brother, you just had a tetanus shot and applied medicine on your body. You don't want to get better..." Lu Mingfei didn't finish his words, but suddenly fell silent because he saw Chu Zihang's skin under the bandage.
Similar to the wounds on his body, both the burned parts and the cut parts have already scabbed over, and some have even grown new skin. Lu Mingfei still remembers that a few hours ago, he and Su Xiaoqiang were busy helping Chu Zihang stop the bleeding, clean the wounds, apply medicine, and bandage them, but a few hours later, all the wounds were about to heal.
Injuries that would take an ordinary person two weeks to heal were almost healed in just a few hours. Of course, this was not due to the effects of medicine, and there is no such magic pill in the world.
"I just felt a little strange. If the burn lasted for a few hours, my skin should feel very painful, but it didn't." Chu Zihang touched the part of his body that couldn't even be called a wound. "I just felt a little itchy, like new flesh growing under the scar."
“As expected of a body that has been baptized by the White King’s blood, it’s really abnormal.” Lu Mingfei immediately understood and couldn’t help but sigh, “Brother, your current recovery ability should be no less than that of some second-generation species.”
"Maybe." Chu Zihang said with his head down, "I'm still very glad to have met an enemy like Herzog. At least it made me realize that 'God' is not invincible. I really need this 'Dragon Blood Baptism', not only to solve my bloodline problem, because apart from 'Blood Rage', I can no longer find a shortcut to become stronger quickly."
Lu Mingfei knew what Chu Zihang had not finished saying. Chu Zihang had always been a person who would do anything to pursue strength, even if the price was death, so he would learn the suicidal "Refined Blood Technology"... because his enemy was "God", and if he was not strong enough, he would not even have the chance to face "God" directly. The death of Herzog made Chu Zihang realize that "God" was not impossible to kill, but at least now he still did not have the ability to kill "God" by himself.
"Don't push yourself too hard, brother. We have already killed a 'god'. If we can kill one, we will have a chance to kill the second one. I will definitely help you." Lu Mingfei brought clothes for Chu Zihang. "And we have helpers. We also have Eri, right? Eri is very strong. After the 'dragon blood baptism', she may really have the ability to compete with enemies at the level of Dragon King. Didn't you see it in that room just now? What 'god' or not, Eri is not inferior to that guy in terms of momentum!"
Lu Mingfei tried to comfort Chu Zihang, but he actually glanced at Hui Liyi secretly, his eyes revealing hidden worry.
To be honest, unless it was absolutely necessary, Lu Mingfei really didn't want Eiry to face an enemy of that level. He admitted that he also had selfish motives. If Odin was really something that could not be defeated and Chu Zihang was determined to die, he could accompany Chu Zihang through fire and water and risk his life for his brother... But Eiry was different. Even if Eiry's ability was crucial, he would never leave the "god"-like enemy to his beloved girl to face.
In fact, the situation just now could not be described as evenly matched, because it was just a brief confrontation with Odin, and Odin did not even show up in person, but Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang were still injured. Although the injuries were not serious, the fact that they could influence reality through the mirror was enough to prove how terrifying Odin was.
Lu Mingfei had no idea how strong Eri's abilities were now. Maybe she had already reached the Dragon King level, or maybe she could just crush most of the next generation, or maybe she might be able to contend against an enemy as powerful as Xia Mi. But at the moment, Odin was definitely a more difficult person to deal with than Xia Mi.
"Marrying a wife who is more capable than me is really stressful." Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Zihang put on his clothes and got up from the bed.
"Would you like to take a break, Brother?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"No, we don't have time." Chu Zihang shook his head and said, "It's almost morning. I don't know what the situation is at Shilan Middle School now. We'd better rush over before anyone finds out. It's best not to make a big deal about this, otherwise more innocent people will be involved."
"That's true, let's go." Lu Mingfei nodded, "I asked Su Xiaoqiang to leave a car for me in her garage."
Several people came to Su Xiaoqiang's garage, which is a villa located between the CBD area and the old city. It has three floors, plus a basement and a garage, and it also has its own elevator. This is also Lu Mingfei's first time to come to Su Xiaoqiang's house. Along the way, he was amazed at the extravagance and luxury of other people's homes.
The little angel is worthy of being a little angel. The floors and walls of her house are paved with marble. The crystal chandeliers on the ceiling reflect colorful lights. Exhibition shelves can be seen everywhere, displaying a wide variety of collections, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings, many modern handicrafts, but also original works. In a word, there is only one word... rich!
"That's what they call a house, a mansion! The one we live in is just a pigeon coop at best... Oh, no, Brother and Eri's houses are also big. Well, I'm the only one who has lived in a pigeon coop since I was a child." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh in the elevator, "I feel that the little goddess is still too conservative. If my family had this kind of style, I would have more than just a strong personality. In junior high and high school, I asked my homeroom teacher to bring me tea and water every day, and asked the principal to massage my waist and legs. I always had ten or eight companions to study with me, and they played StarCraft with me every day... Oh, no, it's skipping rubber ropes!"
"It's not that bad, it's just... a little bit dissolute." Chu Zihang commented seriously.
"Sakura doesn't seem like the type of person who would bully others." Eri also gave her own evaluation.
"Alas, I still haven't experienced the real life of a rich second-generation, and I can't be a bully." Lu Mingfei sighed, "Now when I imagine myself as a child, I was born into a wealthy family. I always have the same feeling as a peasant fantasizing about whether the emperor can eat steamed buns all he can eat, and whether his family uses a gold or silver shoulder pole."
The elevator descended to the basement, and when the door opened, there was a garage for parking. The garage in Su Xiaoqiang's house was also unusually large, and could accommodate three cars... However, Su Xiaoqiang's family actually had more than three cars, and the others were parked in the yard of the villa or in the company's parking lot.
A white sticky note was stuck on a large black SUV with some neat handwriting on it.
"For Lu Mingfei, the key is on the left rear wheel."
"Grand Cherokee? I remember this thing can run at a maximum of 461 horsepower, and it only takes a little over four seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?" Lu Mingfei was a little surprised. "Su Xiaoqiang really prepared a... hardcore car!"
"How about I drive?" Chu Zihang asked.
"Hey, my driving skills are not bad, you should take a rest, brother." Lu Mingfei waved his hand and got into the driver's seat.
Eri sat down and fastened her seat belt obediently.
Chu Zihang leaned back in the back seat, closed his eyes, and subconsciously fastened his seat belt. A man's voice sounded in his mind.
"Don't underestimate my driving skills, and don't underestimate this car either. Fasten your seatbelt, son. As an experienced driver with more than ten years of driving experience and a top-notch car, there are not many things in this world that can catch up with us!"
Chu Zihang still remembers the man's immature tone. He said such passionate words, but in the end he was caught up. The Maybach was indeed fast enough when the accelerator was stepped on to the bottom, but there are always things in this world that are faster than it... such as "God" and fate.
The Grand Cherokee was driven out of Su Xiaoqiang's basement garage. Outside, there were lightning, thunder, strong winds and heavy rain.
……
“What… is going on?” Lu Mingfei stared, his tone full of disbelief.
Eri stood beside him, tugging at the corner of his clothes.
Chu Zihang was also standing not far away, silent and without saying a word, his brows tightly furrowed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
They were in the foundation building of Shilan Middle School, or more precisely, in the meeting room of the building. They had been here twice yesterday, and it was from here that they entered the secret room where they encountered Odin.
After the house caught fire, Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi escaped with Chu Zihang. Before leaving, he deliberately sealed the entrance. After the room became a real secret room, there was a lack of oxygen, and the fire would not last long. There should be no risk of exposure, but there is always a chance of something happening, so they needed to come back and take a look.
Besides, they didn't know whether all the books were burned. And there was also the mirror. Chu Zihang said that he saw Odin in the mirror, so even if there was danger, they had to go into the room again.
But that room... couldn't be found.
Even the entrance was nowhere to be found.
It’s not so much that it can’t be found, but rather that it’s gone, or... it’s as if it never existed in the first place.
There were floor tiles under the conference table. Lu Mingfei knocked on them several times and found that they were all solid. It looked like there was no space as big as a room underneath.
But if there is no passage or secret room here, then where did they go last night? And what happened to them?
Lu Mingfei quickly lifted up his sleeves and saw that there were still some traces of burns on his arms. Although it would heal soon, at least the scars were real.
“Damn it… this is too weird!” Lu Mingfei even cursed. “Could it be that Su Xiaoqiang is right? Did we really encounter a ghost wall last night?”
Chu Zihang shook his head. Although he was known in the executive department for his calmness and judgment, he had no idea of the situation at the moment.
“Brother, do you think Odin’s words can really control other people’s consciousness? We were tricked when we met those strange guys wearing masks last night.” Lu Mingfei made a bold analysis. “We haven’t had any contact with Odin himself… No, maybe Odin is hiding among them. Isn’t this ability too terrifying? I feel like this world is just a giant Odin!”
"I just recalled that there is no such ability in the known word spirit sequence list." Chu Zihang said, "'Deep Dream Nightmare' and 'Nightmare Tapir' are not quite the same. 'Hypnosis' fits the bill, but that word spirit obviously doesn't have such strength."
"I thought that this time the enemy was in the open and we were in the dark, and we had time to slowly figure out the enemy's details, but now it seems that we were tricked." Lu Mingfei said in a deep voice, "At first I thought everything happened too hastily, but now it feels like there are hands in the dark, pushing us forward all the time."
"I don't mind, as long as I can be pushed in front of that thing in the end." Chu Zihang's expression was determined.
“Don’t be so reckless, brother. We won’t be led by the nose forever.” Lu Mingfei encouraged, “I told you, we still have helpers.”
"Helper?" Chu Zihang was a little confused.
Lu Mingfei's cell phone rang, and a text message popped up. Lu Mingfei opened the message and took a look, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up in a confident arc.
“Speak of the devil.” Lu Mingfei raised his arm, “Helpers are here, let’s go get her.”
Chu Zihang still had no idea who the helper Lu Mingfei was talking about, so he could only follow him silently.
However, at the gate of Shilan Middle School, he saw an absolutely unexpected person.
The girl in the red dress was barefoot, stepping into a deep puddle of water. Under her skirt was a pair of slender, straight legs. The strong wind blew the hem of her skirt left and right, but she didn't seem to care about exposing herself at all. Her image had changed a lot from what we remembered. She wore an armband on her arm and her long red hair was tied up like a lady, but she had a distinct temperament. Anyone who had seen this girl must have been impressed by her.
Chapter 956 The Kidnapped Bride
"Senior sister!"
Lu Mingfei shouted loudly and waved to the girl, his face showing the joy of reunion after a long separation.
"Lu Mingfei!"
The girl heard Lu Mingfei's shout, noticed this side, and responded to him with the same loud voice, but the tone was completely different... There was obvious resentment mixed in with her anger, as if Lu Mingfei had done something wrong to her.
She was across the street from Lu Mingfei and the others, but she was barefoot, holding up her skirt with both hands, and walking quickly towards them. She was obviously a young, beautiful and well-proportioned girl, but her aura was as fierce as a black bear.
“Long time no see, senior sister. I missed you so much!” Lu Mingfei stretched out a hand, as if he wanted to hit the other person’s shoulder, but the other person dodged it flexibly.
“Miss me?” The girl laughed angrily and raised her hand towards Lu Mingfei. “If you miss me, you’re using this method to get me here, right? You’re really capable! Even Caesar isn’t as capable as you!”
With a sudden movement of the knife, Lu Mingfei was given a big chestnut on the face. Before he could hold his head and wail, the girl wrapped her arms around Lu Mingfei's throat in a fierce posture and gave him an authentic Brazilian naked choke.
“Tell me! How much bribes did your bastard senior brother take from you to have the guts to kidnap me!” The girl looked like she could strangle Lu Mingfei to death.
“It’s unfair, Senior Sister… ahem.” Lu Mingfei patted the girl’s arm to show his surrender. “That dog… ahem, Senior Brother Wasteful and I said we should invite you over. The original words were definitely invite! I didn’t even know he kidnapped you!”
"'Please'? I think it's 'rob'!" The girl laughed instead of getting angry, "I don't know you two brothers, you are birds of a feather, a black sheep! If you were in ancient times, you would definitely be a pair of notorious pests!"
“Ahem… Senior Sister, your Chinese language skills have really improved, but could you please let go of me first?” Lu Mingfei said with some difficulty, “Your dear Junior Brother… is about to be strangled to death by you!”
