A violent gust of wind swept past his head, and the overwhelming roars and screams almost pierced his eardrums. A black steel beast rumbled and roared past Lu Mingfei's head, carrying a car full of people.

The huge steel rails stretched across their heads, long and twisted, like a boundless iron-black python.

A roller coaster carries tourists from the ground level to a height of about fifty stories. The bottom of the car rubs against the steel python-like track, making a very rhythmic sound. Waiting in front of them is a drop of more than one hundred meters. The train is about to take them down from the highest point like jumping from a building. Everyone is choking on their saliva and enjoying this final torture.

"It's the 'Atrium Snake', the fastest roller coaster in the world. It can reach the speed of a supercar when falling. The maximum drop is 150 meters and the maximum speed is 250 kilometers per hour. Sitting on the roller coaster and falling from it is like jumping off a cliff." Ange introduced.

As soon as Ange finished speaking, the bus full of tourists seemed to fall freely from the slanted track. No matter how detailed the data was, it was not as real as what they saw with their own eyes. The screams were heartbreaking... Lu Mingfei felt that even the death of his parents would not bring him such sorrow.

"It looks so exciting!" Xia Mi almost jumped up, she was so excited as if she was sitting on that roller coaster, sliding down with the passengers who had lost their souls.

Lu Mingfei was stunned...Is there still no way to escape? I still have to take the bus that seems to be destiny.

He had been mentally prepared since he stepped into the amusement park, but when he stood in this huge steel forest and heard the dying screams of the tourists in his ears, his legs still couldn't stop going weak.

Back then, Lu Mingfei had also ridden a dragon into the sky in the Three Gorges. Even when he soared into the clouds, he could beat a second-generation creature until it screamed... But the roller coaster is different. The sense of urgency is like slowly putting your head into a guillotine, waiting for it to fall down suddenly. The pain is only for a moment, but the process of waiting to die is more terrifying than death itself!

"Xia Mi, when I came here, I saw Snow White's castle at the entrance of the amusement park, and the seven dwarfs were holding a garden party there... Oh, and there's also Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Mickey Mouse is particularly cute today..." Lu Mingfei tried to make a final resistance to fate.

"But no matter how you look at it, the roller coaster is more fun." Xia Mi instantly passed over Snow White and Mickey Mouse. Her eyes never left the Atrium Snake, which looked like a steel monster.

Lu Mingfei glanced at Ange.

"Wow, it's very exciting. Riding a roller coaster with beautiful girls and so on. I'm looking forward to it!" The old guy looked eager to try it out. I guess the male hormones that have been dormant for decades are about to explode. It seems that he is unreliable.

Well, a 400-mph express train is as easy as a bike ride for an old guy like you who has zero time, and a 250-mph roller coaster is even less likely to scare an old guy away!

Some were eager to try, while others were full of confidence. Xia Mi had already pulled Angé and charged into the long queue. The old and the young looked like a harmonious and warm grandparents and grandchildren, but Lu Mingfei noticed that Chu Zihang's pace had obviously slowed down.

"Brother, if you are afraid, you can just say it directly. It's not shameful. No girl will dislike you just because you are afraid to ride a roller coaster." Lu Mingfei nudged Chu Zihang with his shoulder, urging him to confess to Xia Mi.

"I just get carsick. I haven't liked riding in cars since I was a child." Chu Zihang's face looked a little ugly.

"Hey, how fresh! I believed you when you said you were afraid of heights. You can even get carsick on a roller coaster?" Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes. "How about Winnie the Pooh? Everyone knows you like 'Winnie the Pooh and Friends'. Brother, as long as you're willing to ask, Xia Mi will understand you. Look, you still have the Winnie the Pooh balloon tied to your hand. You said that balloons can't be taken on roller coasters, but you don't want to take it off..."

"Big Brother, Second Brother, come together quickly... You are not scared, are you?" Xia Mi turned her head and looked at Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang hanging behind her. The beautiful girl's call at this moment seemed as vicious as the devil's curse, and it came as promised.

"Anyway, I'm not afraid, but your senior brother Chu seems to miss Winnie the Pooh more!" Lu Mingfei betrayed Chu Zihang in the blink of an eye.

The veins on Chu Zihang's forehead were throbbing. "We can go to Winnie the Pooh anytime," he said with all his might.

"Great, great. Then the principal and I will help you save a seat first." Xia Mi was very happy and jumped into the team.

"Why bother, Senior Brother? Why are you doing this?" Lu Mingfei sighed deeply. "Is it worth it for such a small amount of face? Is it worth it? I really want to give you a mirror to let you look at your current complexion. You won't even need to paint yourself white when you play a human sculpture!"

"It's each other." Chu Zihang also glanced at Lu Mingfei's pale face and said unwillingly. The boy's self-esteem burst out particularly strongly at this time. Chu Zihang didn't even know that he had such a...unyielding side before.

"Forget it, maybe this is fate. What's coming cannot be avoided." Lu Mingfei looked at the steel track of the roller coaster that seemed to be soaring into the sky. If nothing unexpected happened, it would suddenly collapse in the near future, and they would encounter a roller coaster accident with an extremely small probability.

But to fate, it was an "accident" that was 100% destined to happen!

He sighed softly, looked at the balloon tied to Chu Zihang's hand and floating high in the air, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

"I knew Winnie the Pooh was destined to be unable to save us. How can a bear that loves honey compete with a dragon that loves to cause trouble... Junior brother, you have done your best. May you be blessed, Senior Brother."

……

Lu Mingfei sat in the second row, and reluctantly fastened his safety lock and buckle repeatedly to prevent himself from being thrown out halfway.

Chu Zihang, who was sitting next to me, clenched his shoulders, stared straight ahead, his face pale, and twisted his body unconsciously as if to vent his inner anxiety. He was breathing heavily, as if there were a thousand nails installed in the seat under his butt, and he was unable to sit still.

The two brothers sat in the second row.

On the other hand, Ange and Xia Mi... they occupied the first row with the best views, and could enjoy the pleasure of rising into the sky and descending into the earth against the wind. Xia Mi's pair of slender white legs were hanging outside the front of the car, and she was not uneasy, but excited... They were both very excited, and they were expecting the staff to start the car quickly, and they couldn't wait.

The train slowed down and entered the acceleration channel. In the pitch-black tunnel, only two rows of red lights flashed at a steady rhythm, like a portal to the underworld. A staff member's warning echoed over the PA system: "The speed will be very high, but everything is safe. Passengers, please do not lean forward and keep your headrests close to prevent straining your cervical spine from excessive acceleration."

Safety! Stop spraining your neck like that and then spouting nonsense like "everything is safe." Is this employee losing their mind to spout nonsense? Or is he trying to scare tourists into losing their minds? Lu Mingfei felt like a hundred complaints were roaring in his heart, like the complaints of the old ladies at the vegetable market.

Putting aside the instinctive stress response brought on by the roller coaster, the key point is that Lu Mingfei knows that this train they are on is the train to hell! He feels like a fish on the chopping block, and those soothing words are like giving a live fish a painless massage, all just to make the fish meat softer so that the knife can cut faster and more smoothly!

The soothing voice in the PA system came to an abrupt end. Suddenly, the red lights on both rows of aisles flashed like crazy, more than ten times faster. The danger alarm sounded suddenly, like a death curse, making people's adrenaline surge!

The next second, the red light suddenly went out, the sirens died down, and the dark acceleration lane fell into a deathly silence. They seemed to be wandering in a fog, the glimmer of light before them seemed so far away...

It’s so far away!

The roller coaster rushed out without any warning the next moment, like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, no, a wild beast!

It whistled and roared, speeding up to the maximum. The astonishing acceleration pressed Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang firmly on the soft pillow. The light that came towards them was not beautiful at all, it just made people dizzy!

Lu Mingfei was roaring, Chu Zihang was roaring too, everyone was shouting, as if they wanted to spit out all the air in their lungs and the fear hidden deep inside before they would stop. Lu Mingfei had never seen Chu Zihang so uneasy, but he himself was not much better.

The acceleration track was left behind in the blink of an eye, and the roller coaster reached its maximum speed after accelerating—a staggering 250 kilometers per hour! If you were thrown out at this speed, you would fly far in the sky like a bird, enjoying a long and terrifying moment, before drawing a beautiful parabola and crashing into a soft and mushy mess!

Blocking their way was a spiral upward track. After crashing into it, the roller coaster began to spin and climb like a top. The huge eccentricity tried to throw them out madly, while the safety locks and railings pressed them tightly to the seats. The two mutually repulsive forces seemed to crush them!

"Do you regret it, senior brother? You didn't choose Winnie the Pooh!" Lu Mingfei's head was shaking from side to side, and he almost shouted.

"It's too late to regret it!" Chu Zihang responded painfully, almost gritting his teeth.

"It's really too late..."

It was like the devil's sigh. The screams of fear and the huge friction between the rails were blown away by this gentle sigh. The distorted faces were frozen in the picture, and time was paused.

"Brother, you know, you only have less than ten seconds left. It's the countdown of your life. After ten seconds, no one in the world can save you."

Lu Mingze sat on the top of the roller coaster wearing a clown makeup from the theme park. He had a funny red nose and poked his big red nose with his fingers. He looked at it with a pair of cross-eyes. His dress and silly look were very similar to Buggy the Clown in One Piece.

No one would poke their nose on a roller coaster that was going upside down at 250 kilometers per hour - if they were not careful, the violent tremors and speed difference would cause their finger to deviate from the direction, and either poke a hole in their nostril or blind their eyes.

But Lu Mingze obviously didn't need to worry about these, because he stopped the entire roller coaster, no - the whole world stopped for him.

Like magic, the roller coaster was suspended in the air, with a thin and straight track above and a spiral track below. They were trapped in the middle. They were playing Speed ​​​​in the last second, and playing One, Two, Three, Don't Move, We are all wooden men in the next second.

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, as if he wanted to bury his fear of heights even deeper. Then he looked around and calmly rehearsed the best and fastest route of action in his mind.

"Brother, don't you know that it's this woman who's behind all this? Why did you get on this roller coaster with her?" Lu Mingze chuckled and took off the big red round nose.

It turned out to be a huge red candy. Lu Mingze was using it as an oil pastel to draw a little turtle on Xia Mi's pretty face.

"Because my senior brother insisted on riding this roller coaster. I warned him, but he didn't want to show his weakness in front of his sister... I can't just stand on the ground and watch them get into trouble in mid-air, right?"

"Is it because of Chu Zihang again?" Lu Mingze said angrily.

"Not entirely, because some of what you said makes sense. For every 2 million roller coaster rides in the world, there will be an accident. For statisticians, 5000 in 2 million is a probability, but for the passengers on the roller coaster, everything is like fate... For me, the probability of something happening on this roller coaster is 5000%."

"Even if we don't ride the Courtyard Snake and go to other places in the amusement park, accidents will still happen. Snow White's castle may suddenly collapse, and Winnie the Pooh may suddenly go crazy and eat people... Someone is determined to create accidents, and there is no way to avoid them. Since we can't avoid them, we might as well focus on how to resolve the danger." Lu Mingfei said seriously.

He looked out and saw that cracks were spreading at the highest point of the steel track in the distance. The hideous gap was like the deadly scythe of the god of death. The crack expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. The entire spiral track collapsed, like a piece of twist being twisted into pieces by someone. Once the crack collapsed under their feet, this roller coaster would turn into a flying train at a speed of 250 kilometers!

"Brother, you are right. This is a troublesome matter. I have provided you with free services so many times. This is the best charity I can do... How about exchanging a quarter of your life for the lives of a whole car of people? It's not a losing deal no matter how you look at it, right?" Lu Mingze said temptingly.

"I'm not bragging, but Principal, my senior brother, and I, our lineup is more than enough to crush Kassel Academy. Even a useless guy like me could get by without getting hurt. Now that I have the ability, can the situation get worse than it was then?"

"Well said, brother. The three of you are indeed very powerful when combined. You are simply invincible! You can kill gods and Buddhas!" Lu Mingze applauded Lu Mingfei's confidence. "But have you heard of the butterfly effect, brother?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"If the strings of fate were plucked from the very beginning, would things still develop as smoothly as you imagined?" Lu Mingze's voice sounded like a devil's instigation.

Chapter 128 The Power of Cutting Steel!

"Brother, you are very powerful now. You are already a leader in the world of mixed-bloods, but are you sure you can face the scheming of a dragon king?" Lu Mingze sneered.

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"Brother, don't you think you think too simply about the Dragon King?" As if he thought there was no point in just doodling, Lu Mingze directly poked the huge red candy into Xia Mi's nose.

The girl's pretty face was still filled with the joy of the roller coaster, and with a red nose on, her expression of joy became even more intense.

It can be seen that the girl is really happy. No matter how fast or steep the roller coaster is, it is of course no excitement or challenge for the Dragon King Jörmungandr. But she is Xia Mi now, and it is the first time for her to ride a roller coaster in her life. The joy from the bottom of her heart overflows on her face.

Above their heads, the steel at the top of the track had collapsed, and the cracks had expanded like a black hole. The huge steel rails had broken away from the main support and collapsed down. The scene was like a doomsday movie with the slow-motion button pressed, and the giant fell with fear.

A trace of fear passed through Lu Mingfei's heart, not because of fear of heights or the broken tracks, but from Lu Mingze's words.

These words seemed to wake him up. Lu Mingfei was like Truman who discovered the truth. A strong sense of unreality hit his cognition... All along, history seemed to develop according to the story in his original dream, without any mistakes. Even if he was not rescued by Nono like a loser and given a name, his English name in the real world was still Ricardo M. Lu, as if it was destined.

Perhaps everything had gone too smoothly, and Lu Mingfei had gradually become numbed by the comfort of his current situation, subconsciously equating foreknowledge with the ability to easily overcome any crisis. But as Lu Mingze had said, what if the thread of fate had been twirled from the very beginning? Old Tang had been lucky not to awaken, but Xia Mi was a true Dragon King. Was he too lax about her?

If he still holds on to the idea that everything will develop as originally planned, and if the future suddenly collapses at some point, he will be instantly overwhelmed and defeated, right?

The falling rails passed by my ears and brushed past the roller coaster, carrying with them a strong smell of death. Even if time was slowed down, hitting the falling rails at this speed was no different from driving a supercar and stepping on the accelerator to crash into an iron wall - the end result would undoubtedly be shattered into pieces!

In a world where the whole world was paused, Ange's eyes suddenly moved, like the calm surface of a lake falling to the bottom of the water, breaking the dead beauty of the lake.

"It's this annoying old guy again, meddling in other people's business. Since he insists on intervening, my business is going to be ruined." Lu Mingze spat inwardly, and at the end he didn't forget to curse, "He's so old, isn't he afraid of spraining his waist?"

Lu Mingze jumped high from the front end of the roller coaster, posing like a diver, which made him look extremely funny in his clown costume from the theme park. His body brushed past Lu Mingfei and fell. Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at the ground but could not see anyone. Lu Mingze had disappeared, as if he had fallen into a gap hidden in the void.

"Ming Fei!" A low voice sounded in my ears.

Lu Mingfei turned his head and saw Angé, Xia Mi and Chu Zihang all looking at him. Time still had not returned to its normal flow, and the expressions of the people around him were still frozen in the lingering excitement, but they were not bound by it, like four stowaways in the long river of time.

"Is this the realm of time zero?" Lu Mingfei looked around. This was the principal's Word Spirit, Time Zero. It was very similar to Lu Mingze's dream space. It seemed as if time and space were pulled to a standstill.

"What's going on?" Chu Zihang asked. He had never seen the principal release his domain many times. This old man who was over a hundred years old usually would not take action unless it was necessary.

Ange looked straight ahead, and Chu Zihang followed his gaze. His pupils instantly focused into a point, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Time Zero stretched time as far as possible, but it was not still after all. The birds in the distance moved slowly, and the trajectory of their wings could not be seen, as if they were frozen in mid-air. The roller coaster under their feet and the track made a pulling and rubbing sound, which was so harsh that it made people's heart palpitate. The most terrible thing was that the track above their heads... seemed to be cracking like a spider web, and their way forward was collapsing!

Lu Mingfei suddenly reached out and wiped Xia Mi's face while no one was paying attention. The latter turned her head and looked at him suspiciously. Lu Mingfei just smiled and said, "There's a black thing, a bug or... bird droppings or something. I brushed it off for you."

"It's already this critical moment, and you, senior brother, still want to take advantage of me!" Xia Mi said unhappily.

Lu Mingfei just scratched his head, smiled foolishly, and did not make any excuses.

Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei deeply. He knew very well that Lu Mingfei was definitely not trying to take advantage of him. He saw Lu Mingfei grab something from Xia Mi's face... but the movement was too fast and he didn't see it clearly.

Lu Mingfei clenched his left hand tightly, holding the red-nosed gummy that Lu Mingze had mischievously placed on Xia Mi's face.

"How much time do we have left?" Chu Zihang asked Ange.

"About six seconds. At its maximum expansion, the Time Zero domain can extend fifty times." Ange looked ahead and calculated the altitude. "That gives us a maximum of three hundred seconds to act."

"The effect of Time Zero has no effect on ordinary people. It doesn't actually slow the passage of time. It simply drags us into an accelerated state. We must come up with a feasible rescue plan within 300 meters per second and successfully execute it... Otherwise, everyone on this train will either be crushed by the tracks or fall to the ground and be smashed to pieces," Ange said, looking down at his watch. "There are about 280 seconds left."

"It's going to end badly anyway..." Xia Mi said, glancing at Lu Mingfei, "Hey, Brother Mingfei, what are you doing?"

Lu Mingfei had already unbuckled his safety buckle. He hung high in the air, clinging to the fixed railings of the rows of seats like an ape as he climbed down the roller coaster. "With the fin brake, we can brake when we're near the apex. The roller coaster will lose kinetic energy and return from the ascending track to the accelerating track, so we don't have to go through the broken descending track."

"Eh hey hey?! Are these words really coming from the mouth of a liberal arts guy?" Xia Mi widened her eyes.

"I remember Mingfei also chose to study Metal Mechanics last semester." Angé smiled.

"Senior brother should have thought of this method as well." Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang.

"That's right, there are only three roller coasters in the world equipped with fin-shaped magnetic brake systems, including the Atrium Snake under our feet." Chu Zihang nodded.

"This most thrilling roller coaster in the world occasionally plays tricks on its passengers. Just before reaching its highest point, the speed is already very low. A single slight braking action will cause the vehicle to lose enough kinetic energy to reach the highest point. It will reverse along the ascending track and return to the acceleration tunnel, as if something had broken down... I was so unsure I checked on my phone while waiting in line."

"But the fin brakes can only brake the roller coaster when its speed drops to near zero near its peak," said Ange. "This time is almost instantaneous and difficult to grasp."

"But in the realm of time zero, this moment is also stretched fifty times, and the difficulty is reduced a lot." Chu Zihang said.

"Brother, I'll leave the job of removing the drive fire wire and activating the fin brakes in mid-air to you. Mechanics is your major, so you're more suited to it than me." Lu Mingfei had already pried open the metal shell of the hood with Angers's folding knife. He picked out two of the complicated transformer wires and said, "I'll go to the front of the car and help you determine the merge point."

The red one is the live wire, the blue one is the neutral wire, and when they are put together they can activate the fin brake. There is no danger to the person who operates these two chain lines. The important thing is the person who seizes the opportunity at the front of the car.

"Okay." The answer was concise and to the point. Chu Zihang moved on the train, quickly exchanged positions with Lu Mingfei, and came to the back.

The cracks in the track had spread to their side, like a black spider web. The entire Atrium Snake was like a real giant python, with its head and tail grasped by two invisible giant hands and then twisted hard, making it twisted and hideous.

The screws that fixed the rails had been shot out one by one. Even in the realm of time zero, they could still fly in all directions at a high speed. This showed that they possessed enormous kinetic energy, like bullets, which could hurt anyone who touched them!

Lu Mingfei came to the front of the car, and suddenly drops of hot blood splashed on his face. It was Angers's.

Ange's golden eyes were still bright, the rose in his suit pocket had been blown to pieces by the strong wind, and the white silk scarf was swept into the air like a white bird, but the old man no longer cared about these things, crimson blood flowed from his nostrils and mouth, he tried his best to maintain it, but the realm of time zero was on the verge of collapse at any time!

"Ming Fei, I appoint you as the commissioner for the operation to rescue everyone on the bus. You have all the command authority. Can you do it?" Ange coughed up blood.

In fact, Chu Zihang is more suitable as an action specialist, but the rear of the car is too far away from the front. Ange's voice is so weak that Chu Zihang can't hear it clearly. The realm of time zero has drained all his abilities, and now it is his vitality that is overdrawn!

"I've already told you, don't leave all the responsibilities to the young people, Principal..." Lu Mingfei grabbed the white handkerchief that was still floating in the air and wiped the blood from Ange's nose and mouth. He whispered the word.

"do not die!"

The next moment, Ange's eyes, which were about to be distracted, focused again, the blood from his nostrils and mouth corners stopped flowing, and the time zero domain was stabilized again... But Lu Mingfei almost fell off the roller coaster.

His body swayed twice in the air and was caught by Xia Mi at the critical moment. Then Lu Mingfei held on to the railing tightly to prevent himself from falling, gasping for breath, like a patient suffering from extreme hypoxia, as if he wanted to inhale all the air in the world into his lungs.

Damn it, this old fellow is indeed a half-blood known as the strongest dragon slayer in the world, he is indeed different from ordinary people... Just trying to help him replenish his vitality and stabilize the realm of time zero almost drained all his mental energy in an instant, Lu Mingfei was sweating profusely.

"Xia Mi, take good care of the principal." Lu Mingfei said, panting.
