Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly felt that what Chu Zihang said made sense. The Nibelungs were basically full of non-human creatures. Even though the time here was different from that outside, for people outside, the concept of how long those missing people had been missing was objective.
For example, for Senior Sister Aki, if she remembered Senior Brother Ye Sheng, she would realize that this person who was so important to her had been missing for several weeks. For Senior Brother and his mother, Chu Tianjiao had indeed been missing for seven years. For more missing people in this city, they may have mistakenly entered this Nibelungen decades ago. Maybe the people they knew in this world have already grown old or been buried. Even if they become normal people and return to the real world, no one may remember them. Their existence has been completely wiped out... It's like a game played by "God" to fool the world, turning innocent people into wandering ghosts.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei felt a little cold and a little angry.
"Brother, do you have a plan on how to kill Odin?" Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang and asked.
As expected, after Chu Zihang was silent for a moment, he slowly uttered four words: "Everything depends on human effort."
Lu Mingfei raised the corner of his mouth into a bitter smile. Everything depends on human effort. If he hadn't insisted on getting involved in this matter, what difference would it have made him commit suicide?
After the "baptism of dragon blood", Chu Zihang's strength may be comparable to or even surpass that of the Genji brothers, but no matter what, he can never be stronger than Eri and Uesugi Yue. Even Eri and Uesugi Yue can't kill Herzog. Odin is definitely not an easier enemy to deal with than Herzog.
“Brother, listen to me. I don’t plan to involve Eri in the battle with Odin, so we can only rely on the two of us, plus an almost negligible Finkel at most.” Lu Mingfei said to Chu Zihang with a serious expression, “But what I want to tell you is that if you encounter a situation that is truly life-threatening, you must choose to avoid it. I don’t need to remind you of Finkel, but I know your character, brother, you believe me…”
Before Lu Mingfei finished his words, the ground suddenly began to shake again, and Finkel stumbled over with a look of fear on his face.
"Junior brother, junior brother, junior brother!" Finkel called out three times, and it was unclear whether he was stuttering because he was scared to express the urgency of the situation.
"What's going on outside?" Lu Mingfei asked, "Did Odin make any moves?"
"Yes... no!" Finkel couldn't explain clearly, so he could only pull Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang and run outside, "Hey, come with me and see!"
Chapter 995 The war begins
Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang rushed to the edge of the square and saw an incredible scene.
Black figures shuttled quickly between the tall buildings in the city like bats in the night. They were all covered with black bean skins and wore masks on their faces. Their images were between humans and demons... There were quite a lot of these figures, at least hundreds at first glance.
They were all masked men like Ye Sheng, humans whose consciousness was controlled by Odin. Lu Mingfei had an ugly expression when he saw this scene. He originally thought that there were only twelve such guys in total, and most of them had been killed by Eiry, but he didn't expect there were so many... This number of people completely exceeded Lu Mingfei's expectations. Hundreds of people, even if their overall quality was not as good as Ye Sheng, if each of them had the average level of a "B"-level specialist, it would definitely be a big trouble!
And the scene that made everyone's scalp tingle was still to come. Lu Mingfei looked into the distance and saw that in the endless rainstorm, the members of the city rolled up a black tide with golden fireflies flickering in the waves.
This was unbelievable. Even though this was a coastal city, how could the waves be able to invade the center of the city? When they saw those "black waves" clearly, everyone fell silent, and a strong chill swept over everyone.
Those were not waves at all. Those black things surging from the edge of the city were Deadpools... thousands and thousands of Deadpools!
The black part is the skin and scales of Deadpool, while the golden fireflies are their eyes... There are at least tens of thousands of dark golden eyes. There are too many of them. They shuttle between the roads in the city. Lu Mingfei and the others feel the ground shaking under their feet. Compared to the ferocious and roaring Deadpools they have seen before, these Deadpools did not make any sound, except for the sound of footsteps when they moved and the sound of friction between their scales. They were as quiet as a marching army. Anyone who saw this scene would only feel extremely weird.
The last time Lu Mingfei saw such a grand scene was in Japan’s “Extreme Abyss”. When the “Holy Remains” awakened, tens of thousands of corpses woke up from the cocoons of death in the ancient underwater city.
That was definitely a shocking scene. Lu Mingfei still remembered that when he saw that scene with his own eyes, he, Caesar and Chu Zihang were almost heartbroken. In the end, they survived by abandoning the nuclear power cabin of the "Trieste", and it was Eri who cleaned up the mess in the end.
Now they have Eri, but they no longer have nuclear-level weapons. Even Eri is a little stretched. The number of these Deadpools is too exaggerated, and "Judgment" cannot cover such a large area. These things have extremely tenacious vitality, and they can never be killed by weapons such as knives and guns.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, Lu Mingfei and the others would never have imagined that there were such a large number of terrifying monsters hidden in this Nibelungen.
An empty ghost town, at a certain moment, monsters fill it from all directions. The mere imagination of this scene makes one's scalp tingle.
"Junior brother, junior brother, junior brother, you've seen it, something big has happened, these guys are out in full force, they are definitely going to do something big!" Finkel advised Lu Mingfei kindly, "Run away now before they surround us, we have two cars, even if we can't get out of Nibelungen, we can at least fight guerrilla warfare on the elevated road, there's still hope!"
But facing Finkel's urgent situation, Lu Mingfei seemed indifferent. His eyes were fixed on the figure on the top of the building, with a crazy light dancing in his eyes.
"No, brother, we still have a way out." Lu Mingfei said calmly.
"Kneel down and beg for mercy?" Finkel shouted spinelessly.
"Kill Odin." Lu Mingfei whispered, "Whether it's Deadpool or those guys wearing masks, Odin is their 'king'. I don't know if killing Odin can stop them, but as long as we are in Nibelungen and in this city, we have nowhere to escape."
"Crazy! You are crazy!" Finkel screamed, "We have found Ye Sheng, and we have also found Chu Zihang. We have rescued all the people who should be rescued, and the mission goal has been completed. The only thing left is to think about how to escape, right?"
"Junior brother, I have no objection to you slaying dragons. You are an 'S'-class, the principal's own son and the hope of the secret party, but I am just a 'G'-class loser. It's hard for me to kill Deadpool. You want to kill Odin?" Finkel looked around at everyone. "I must escape. I can't die here. Just give me a car. Who will go with me?"
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to Finkel at this time, and his heroic words were quickly blown away by the wind.
"Something's wrong. Those guys don't seem to be targeting us." Nono stared at the movements of the masked men and the deadpools. "The trajectory of their movements... they seem to be heading for Odin!"
Nono was right. At this moment, Times Square was already filled with people, or monsters. Guys wearing masks stood in the front, and behind them were tens of thousands of Deadpools. The huge square was surrounded by people. If it weren't for the extremely bad weather and the inhuman and hideous appearance of these guys, one would have thought a large open-air concert was being held here.
The mall where Lu Mingfei and the others were located was on the side of Times Square, only a few hundred meters away from where the monsters were gathered. At such a close distance, it was impossible for them not to be discovered... But those guys who had been chasing them relentlessly before simply ignored them at this moment. They gathered in the center of the square in an orderly manner, and right in front of them was Odin standing on the top of the clock building. The masked people and deadpools raised their heads to look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, looking at Odin's tall figure with pious eyes. It was like a gathering of some kind of cultists.
It is hard to imagine that those controlled guys and the brainless Deadpool would actually show such expressions. They are looking up and making a pilgrimage, as if the one descending before them is the supreme existence in the world.
Boom!
Suddenly there was a loud bang and Lu Mingfei and the others covered their ears. The sound was so loud that even with their ears covered, their heads felt dizzy and their internal organs could not help but tremble. The sound seemed to come from the giant bronze bell under Odin's seat, and it also seemed to come from the distant horizon.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
As the bell rang, the huge clock on the clock building finally began to turn, not slowly, but quickly and in an extremely violent way. The hour hand chased the minute hand, and the bronze hammer swung wildly, making a sound so loud that it seemed as if the whole city could hear it.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The masked people and the deadpools all prostrated themselves in unison, facing the direction of Odin, with their foreheads pressed tightly against the ground, kneeling devoutly, just like the ascetics in the chronicles, who were willing to give up everything they had for the faith in their hearts.
"This is a... pilgrimage!" There was a hint of horror in Nuo Nuo's tone, and she was also frightened by the extremely strange scene before her.
Anyone who sees this scene will be shocked, because such a scene is almost impossible to see in the real world. Only in ancient books or murals can such scenes be depicted, where a new king ascends the throne and his people prostrate themselves in worship.
"Pilgrimage... If this is a pilgrimage, it means a new king is born... Odin... Eight thirty-one, eight thirty-one..." Lu Mingfei looked at this strange scene and couldn't help muttering, "Is it morning or evening? What does this time mean? What's so special about eight thirty-one?"
"Brother, have you seen Odin when you entered Nibelungen?" Lu Mingfei asked Chu Zihang.
"No, I haven't seen him before or after entering the Nibelungen. This is the second time I've seen him after seven years." Chu Zihang looked at the "God" in the wind and rain from afar, the fire of revenge burning in his eyes. "I have been looking for him for the past seven years."
"You are finally here." The "God" in the wind and rain suddenly spoke.
His voice echoed throughout the sky, like a muffled thunder in the sky. The sound revealed a majestic aura that even drowned out the sound of the bell. The masked people and the Deadpools crawled even lower, wishing they could lie on the ground. Their backs trembled slightly, not knowing whether it was out of fear or excitement.
"You are finally here." Odin said again. His tone was neither happy nor sad, but it was as if he was meeting an old friend again. The god was speaking to an old friend on earth from the sky.
He was there, gazing at the endless wind and rain and his territory. The fire in his body burned even more vigorously. The rain quickly evaporated into white mist. A fairyland seemed to have formed above the sky. The clock under his seat was spinning as if in revenge, at a dazzling speed, like a ray of light, giving people the feeling that it would take dozens of minutes to complete seven years.
The god did not approach, but everyone could feel his supreme majesty like a sword, as if as long as he stepped on a piece of cloth on his horse, everyone would be pierced through the heart by the sword.
Who is "you"? What does "finally" mean? Who is Odin talking to? Is there anyone here that he knows? Chu Zihang? Himself? Or someone from somewhere else?
Why is it 8:31? The clock has been still for so long, but now it is spinning madly. What does this time mean? What is it waiting for?
Why did the masked men and the deadpools kneel down? Did something big happen at this time in Nibelung? Was it related to Odin?
Should we retreat first according to Fingel's advice? Or should we go for it as planned?
Too many questions, too many questions popped up in Lu Mingfei's mind. He thought quickly. The sudden change in the city caught him off guard. He wanted to kill Odin and ensure that no one died here. However, the number of enemies was beyond his expectations... Lu Mingfei's temples were covered with cold sweat.
This is the war with "God". It is like walking barefoot on thin ice. You must choose the right path. One wrong step will lead you into the abyss.
"On the day scarlet falls, the gates of hell open." Odin said this slowly after the pendulum stopped and the smoke dissipated.
The pair of pupils hidden under the silver mask seemed to glance over here faintly.
Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang’s bodies froze at the same time. They didn’t know if Odin was really looking at them, but those words… “On the day when scarlet falls, the gates of hell will open” sounded familiar.
Nibelungen is a maze, the entrance to which will only open for a certain person... On the day of the Crimson Falls, the gates of hell open.
The two sentences have the same meaning and sound like they were spoken by the same person in different identities.
A nerve in Lu Mingfei's brain twitched, as if something that had been blocking him, suddenly became unblocked.
"Fingal, Ye Sheng, Nuonuo! You and Eri go to my brother's Maybach together!" Lu Mingfei shouted without hesitation, "Brother, come with me to the Porsche!"
"Shall we retreat together?" Ye Sheng asked.
"No, you guys retreat. My brother and I still have things to do." Lu Mingfei said slowly, his eyes looking towards Times Square.
"But..." Ye Sheng wanted to say something.
"Don't but, Brother, Lu Mingfei has his own plans." Nuo Nuo looked at Lu Mingfei deeply, opened the car door, and came to the main driver's seat of the Maybach. "I will drive around the periphery of the square first. Eri, please use your ability to kill as many Deadpools as possible."
"Okay." Eiry nodded and looked at Lu Mingfei reluctantly.
"I won't die. I promise you." Lu Mingfei smiled and touched Eiry's head. After turning his head, his expression changed instantly, and he looked ready to die like a warrior.
After Chu Zihang started the Maybach for Nuo Nuo and the others, he immediately got into the passenger seat of the Porsche.
"Junior sister, I think your driving skills are not as good as your legs, otherwise drive for me..." Finkel still wanted to fight for the driving rights of the Maybach from Nono.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Nono stepped on the accelerator and the brake at the same time, "Your mission is the same as Eri's. Try to kill as many Deadpools as possible before we leave. If you're lazy, don't blame me for throwing you out of the car!"
Without giving Finkel any chance to quibble, Nuonuo released the brake and the Maybach rushed out like an arrow. At the same time, Lu Mingfei started the Porsche and the engine of the silver sports car roared like a beast.
The two cars were facing each other, speeding in opposite directions at the same astonishing speed.
"It's worthy of a nine million dollar car. The back seats are heated!" Finkel reluctantly moved his butt off the leather seat of the Maybach. He leaned his upper body out of the window, with a Thompson submachine gun in one hand and a grenade in the other, staring at the Deadpool gathered in the square.
Ye Sheng also held a gun, with a serious fighting posture.
Eiry had no weapon in her hands; she herself was an unparalleled sharp weapon. Eiry lit up her golden eyes, and the field of "Judgment" silently expanded to its maximum extent.
The sound of gunfire continued. In a corner of Times Square, the Deadpools in this area fell down in rows like harvested wheat.
Chapter 996 Encountering Obstruction
Deadpool was dying very quickly. Everyone in the Maybach was using their best abilities to kill Deadpool, trying to kill as many of these monsters as possible, attract their attention, and share the pressure for Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang.
"Brother, they left a Desert Eagle and an Uzi in the back seat. Do you want to get them first?" Lu Mingfei asked Chu Zihang as he drove his Porsche sports car around to the other side of the clock building.
"No need." Chu Zihang shook his head and said.
"I don't think you need these things." Lu Mingfei smiled, "But these two guns were brought out from your father's room."
Chu Zihang's heart moved, but he couldn't help but turn around and go to the back seat to get the two guns.
"These guns have been modified." Chu Zihang, the top science and engineering man in Kassel College, could tell at a glance that these two guns had been modified. He asked softly, "Did he modify them himself?"
"Yes, there is a workbench in your father's room, which is specially used for modifying guns and carving patterns on bullets." Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "His craftsmanship is very advanced, and he is obviously a professional veteran. You can imagine from the workbench that the man is sitting there alone, concentrating on what he is passionate about. Maybe he will take this opportunity to secretly think of Aunt Su."
Chu Zihang pushed the gun barrel out skillfully. He poured an alchemical bullet into his hand and used the tip of his index finger to feel the intricate carving on the bullet tip… This was the mark left by that man. After listening to Lu Mingfei's description, Chu Zihang could imagine the back of a man with great concentration. This was a side of that man he had never seen, but when he thought about it now, there was no sense of incongruity. No wonder his beautiful and talented mother fell in love with him when she was young, because that man was really handsome. If he didn't restrain his unique charm, he would be a definite killer of women.
It seems that Chu Zihang's charm may not all come from his mother. His aloof and arrogant personality is probably inherited from that man. Young girls who are not well-versed in the world are fascinated by this type of person.
"Thank you." Chu Zihang said to Lu Mingfei. He stuffed the bullet that was said to have come into his pocket and pushed the remaining bullets along with the barrel back into the gun.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but after knowing his father's true identity, Chu Zihang didn't blame him for hiding the truth and being irresponsible from himself and his mother. On the contrary, holding the thing that the man had worked so hard for, Chu Zihang felt a sense of security inexplicably, as if the man was still by his side, and there was someone to help hold up the sky even if it collapsed.
For many people, this is the meaning of a father's existence. In the hearts of children, the father's figure is always taller than the sky, and he will support you even if the sky falls... just like seven years ago.
"Don't be too nervous, Brother. Just like you said, everything depends on human effort." Seeing Chu Zihang remained silent, Lu Mingfei thought he was just nervous before the battle, so he gently advised, "Since you believe Uncle Chu is still alive, there is nothing to worry about. As long as you are alive, there is a chance."
"Thank you." Chu Zihang originally wanted to say that he was not worried, but when she saw Lu Mingfei's dusty face through the rearview mirror, she decided not to say that.
So many years have passed, and he is no longer the loner Chu Zihang. There are continuous gunshots in the distance, and Nono and his team are still killing Deadpool. Today, so many people have gathered in Nibelungen, which is completely different from the situation seven years ago. Everyone is willing to help Chu Zihang, even hiding it from the academy. Even if Chu Zihang has a low EQ, he must accept everyone's kindness.
It seemed that the ceremony of pilgrimage to Odin was over, and the Deadpools resumed their actions. Most of the Deadpools were attracted by the movements of Nono and others on the other side of the square, but a small group of Deadpools noticed Lu Mingfei and others and surrounded them from the side of the Clock Building.
Chu Zihang opened the window and climbed onto the roof of the car. His figure remained motionless as a mountain on the roof of the car as it was moving at high speed. A black vortex gathered in front of him and broke apart in less than a second. High-temperature flames whistled out, enough to distort the space. The huge impact force knocked the Deadpools off their horses.
Lu Mingfei raised his head and glanced at Odin, who was still standing in the wind and rain on the top floor of the Clock Building, like a lonely statue.
"Brother, I'm going to turn!" Lu Mingfei in the driving seat gave a reminder and turned the steering wheel sharply.
Chu Zihang hooked one hand on the side of the window. Lu Mingfei drove the Porsche towards the underground garage of the Clock Building. Chu Zihang bent over and kicked hard, and the parking lot's toll barrier broke.
The lights were on in the underground parking lot, but there was no car. The whirring sound of the air duct fans echoed in the empty underground space, and the atmosphere was depressing and creepy.
Lu Mingfei parked the car steadily in the parking space closest to the elevator. He opened the door and ran towards the elevator with Chu Zihang, without even having time to lock the car door.
Just now, Lu Mingfei saw through the rearview mirror that a team of Deadpools followed them into the parking lot. If they were entangled by these things, there would only be more and more of them behind them, endlessly. The underground garage was not a suitable place for "Black Sun" and "Lord Flame" to fight. Maybe they would be killed here by these things before they even saw Odin.
Lu Mingfei pressed the elevator button frantically. He didn't know why the broken elevator stopped at the 12th floor at first. The Clock Building had been built for many years. Although the elevator had been repaired and maintained, its speed was definitely not comparable to the new elevators nowadays. It took nearly seconds to descend from the height of the th floor.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator finally came down and the door opened, but several Deadpools also squeezed into the not-so-spacious elevator room with strange cries.
"Brother, don't use 'Jun Yan'!" Lu Mingfei reminded them. The space here was too small. If the temperature rose drastically, they would probably collapse before Deadpool.
"Understood." Chu Zihang answered concisely, his attention entirely focused on the action.
Holding Murasame in one hand and Desert Eagle in the other, he slashed and shot alternately. One Deadpool was chopped to the ground by Chu Zihang, and a black blood flower exploded directly on the head of another Deadpool.
The power and recoil of the Desert Eagle were far beyond Chu Zihang's expectations. The shot that caught him off guard made his palms feel slightly numb. Even though the distance between him and Deadpool was too close to maximize the power of the gun, Chu Zihang clearly saw that Deadpool's entire head, including his hard skull, was blown to pieces by the shot, just like a watermelon that had fallen to the ground and was smashed into pieces.
As expected of a weapon modified by that man, its power is simply something produced by Jianbi Equipment Department.
Lu Mingfei also drew out his dagger and fiercely cut open the head of the nearest Deadpool. However, the vitality of this Deadpool was so tenacious that even though its brain was pierced, its torso could still move. Lu Mingfei was too lazy to fight with these giant cockroaches. He stepped into the elevator and pulled Chu Zihang in.
Lu Mingfei immediately pressed the button for the top floor and then slammed the door-closing button. Fortunately, the two of them had just killed several Deadpools blocking the narrow elevator entrance, buying a few precious seconds for the old-fashioned elevator to close its door.
Just before the elevator door closed, Deadpool's sharp claws almost stretched out. The elevator took Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang up quickly. Deadpool's claws grabbed the metal rear door panel, making a teeth-grinding friction sound. Probably because he saw Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang slip away, the guy outside slammed the inner door several times before the outer door of the elevator closed. Several concave and hideous handprints appeared in front of Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang.
"Deadpool is really a tricky thing." Lu Mingfei looked at the violent and hideous handprint and couldn't help but sigh, "If this slap hits a person, it will definitely leave bruises all over!"
If Finkel were here, he would definitely pick up on Lu Mingfei's words and say, "It's more than just bruises, it's all over the place."... But the person in the elevator was Chu Zihang, who didn't have Finkel's innate sense of humor at all, and just nodded silently.
This was a rare time when Lu Mingfei felt that there were times when his killer brother was no match for his good-for-nothing brother.
