Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei returns from Sekiro

Capital, 19:34.

A few scattered stars twinkled in the sky. It was always like this at night in big cities, and there were no stars in the sky.

The roar of a passing plane reached Lu Mingfei's ears. When he raised his head, he could see the red and green flashing signal lights. Whenever a plane passed overhead, he would stop and look up for a while.

He missed his parents a little bit again.

He always wonders if his parents will fly to see him.

Perhaps because he and Eriko's wedding date had been set, his aunt and uncle called him to tell him that all relatives and neighbors had been notified. His father-in-law, Uesugoshi, also made a hurried call and told him that he would take an express train on the wedding day. Flight, rushed to the scene, as Eri's father, he promised to attend, even if he was so busy that he had to go back after lunch.

Minamoto Shosheng and Minamoto Sashimi also called respectively, asking about the current situation of him and Eriki, and agreed on a time to arrive.

Eryi's father and brothers are very concerned about her marriage, because she is the bride, which is a major event in every girl's life. As the groom, Lu Mingfei can't help but think of his parents at this time. They were supposed to be on the red carpet in the wedding hall, holding his hands.

When he was 12 years old, his parents sent him to live with his uncle and aunt. Now that he is 19, he got his marriage certificate in another country and has never seen his parents again. They were not even informed of the wedding because they In an isolated Nibelungen, that Nibelungen is far away in Siberia and is only connected to the outside world during the annual snowstorm season.

It's sad to say that among the guests attending the wedding, only the uncle and the little fat brother were related by blood to Lu Mingfei.

The wedding day is very close, less than two weeks.

It was difficult for him to suppress the anticipation and nervousness in his heart. Any boy who was about to marry the girl he liked would feel this way.

Lu Mingfei shook his head and put aside his faint thoughts.

Eriki pulled the corner of his clothes and pointed to a wild flower next to the subway station.

The tenacious plum blossom emerges from the cracks in the bricks. It is a tiny pink flower that grows alone in the cracks of the metropolis. The green leaves are covered with sand and dust, and are dirty, except for those that have just bloomed. The petals are not stained by worldly dust.

Eriki often sees things that are usually hard to notice, such as homing pigeons flying by suddenly or small wild flowers on the roadside.

Lu Mingfei took out his mobile phone and took a photo of Dian Di Mei. This small flower is often seen on the side of the road and will bloom in spring.

Eriyi came over to look at the photo and wrote on the touch screen of her phone: "It's beautiful."

Lu Mingfei touched her head and said in a very low voice in her ear: "You are more beautiful."

Erika raised her head and stared at him.

If an average girl hears her boyfriend say this kind of thing when she is passionately in love, she will blush shyly, say "hate" coyly, and then hold her boyfriend's hand and act coquettishly.

There is no explanation for the word "shy" in Kehui Liyi's vocabulary. Her most direct feeling when hearing such words is that she is happy, and there seems to be a cloud of marshmallows melting in her heart.

She would not hide her happiness in her heart, so she took Lu Mingfei's arm, stood on tiptoes and kissed the side of Lu Mingfei's face.

There was a lot of traffic in the subway station, but she didn't care at all about other people's eyes. She didn't know whether she was bold or naive.

"I say you two should be careful outside, as it may affect the appearance of the city."

Xia Mi, who was wearing casual clothes, frowned and glanced at the two of them, then stopped in front of them with his schoolbag on his back.

"Do dragons also pay attention to the appearance of the city?" Lu Mingfei found it a little funny.

He increasingly felt that Xia Mi and Old Tang were somewhat similar. When he was in Brooklyn, he and Old Tang barbecued steaks and drank wine at a roadside stall, but he had never thought that Old Tang was some kind of dragon king who destroyed the world.

That night, the stall owner took out his guitar and played a song. Old Tang clapped his hands and sang, introducing him to who these people were. When he got drunk, he took off his white shirt and belly danced shirtless, making him look like a real person. Funny than Big Brother.

As for Xia Mi, in the memory of the KFC store manager, she is the pistachio in the store, a girl full of youthful vitality. The employees in the store take good care of her because they know that her family's financial situation is difficult. When she is off work, The store will give her a free employee meal, and a special portion of any snacks and fruits will be left for her.

Su Enxi and Mai Jiude searched for news in various places where she had worked. From the fragments of everyone's memories, what they pieced together was not the Dragon King, but a lively and optimistic girl. She was a bit eccentric and a little money-mad, but left to her Things are always done best.

From these aspects, she looks a little more like a human being.

"It's up to you." Xia Mi ignored the two tired people.

After waiting here for a while, Constantine came over from the roadside pushing a stroller. There was also a bottle of freshly prepared milk powder in the car.

"Come with me." Xia Mi led them into the subway station.

The automatic downward electric staircase took them underground. In the bright and spacious space, people came and went.

It's time to get off work now, and the subway stations in the capital are extremely congested. Even if this is a remote subway station outside the 5th Ring Road, there are still many people waiting to get on or off the train.

They bought trip tickets at the self-service ticket vending machine, passed the security check, and entered the waiting area through the gate.

Lu Mingfei looked around. The hanging metal signs showed the time and subway lines. In the dark glass door, only the advertising light boards were lit.

With a clanging sound, the subway entered the station.

Three people and one baby squeezed into the subway station. Lu Mingfei protected Eliyi near the door and forced a space for her.

Xia Mi randomly found an armrest and pulled on it.

Someone offered his seat to Constantine who was pushing a stroller. Constantine politely thanked him, sat down in his seat, and fed the baby with a bottle.

"Did you make a living by working part-time in Shilan before?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask Xia Mi as he watched the KFC advertisement flash by.

"What's wrong?"

"I heard you worked at KFC."

"Are you investigating me?" Xia Mi narrowed his eyes.

"Before I come to see you, I have to find a way to figure out what kind of person you are, even if it's just on the surface."

"Yes, I worked at KFC. In order to avoid being discovered by you and Odin, I have been surviving in a human way." Xia Mi's voice was cold. She silently looked at herself reflected in the mirror with an expressionless face.

"We went to see the KFC store manager, and he said that you have been an excellent employee for several months."

“Because there are extra bonuses for good employees.”

"The store manager said that they held a farewell party for you the night you left. He also said that everyone missed your time in the store. Later, he called you specifically and wanted to invite you to the store's party. Party on the weekend, but you changed your phone number.”

Xia Mi didn't reply, but silently glanced at a yellowed ring on his wrist, which had signatures written in marker and many people's names on it.

"Do you still have photos with them?"

"Forgot." Xia Mi responded calmly.

Have you really forgotten? Lu Mingfei thinks dragons are quite sad creatures. They have unlimited lifespan and can be resurrected from their eggs even after death.

For humans, a hundred years of life is enough to experience all the joys, sorrows, and joys, but dragons just keep repeating the cycle of life and death.

Maybe they will be sad when they see death for the first time, but they will always be numb the second or third time.

Compared with dragons, human life is like a flash in the pan, like the small plum blossom blooming at the entrance of the subway station. Lu Mingfei knows the flowering period of this kind of flower. It is an annual and will wither after it blooms and bears fruit. In just ten days, Dian Dimei's life was over.

He asked himself if he liked that flower?

There is no doubt that he likes it because it blooms in the cracks of the bricks and is tenacious and beautiful. However, he just used his mobile phone to take pictures and capture the most beautiful moment of the blooming plum blossom, because if he picked it off, it would wither tomorrow. If you pick it, it will wither and turn yellow after more than ten days.

Lu Mingfei had seen the photo sent by Su Enxi of Xia Mi wearing a medal for outstanding employees. When she raised the medal, she seemed very happy. Was that smile fake?

More or less, it still contains some real feelings.

But just like Lu Mingfei likes that little flower, the life of the little flower is so weak and short. In his life of more than ten years, he will see similar little flowers every year, so no matter how much he likes it, he It is impossible to mourn the spring and autumn because of the withering of a little flower.

Lu Mingfei felt that he had a little grasp of Xia Mi's thoughts. The Dragon King pretended to live as a human. Perhaps in some clips, she had truly regarded herself as a human being and forgot that she was a Dragon King.

The Queen of the Earth and Mountains, with her power, it is not difficult to dig out some gems in exchange for money.

In addition to the fear of being discovered by hybrids and other dragon kings when she uses her power, there may be one thing she doesn't realize: she is enjoying life as a human.

The Dragon King is such a proud creature. If she takes the risk and exchanges gems for money, then she will no longer have any reason to convince herself to work at KFC, and there will no longer be any reason for her to work hard for a few hundred yuan bonus for outstanding employees. , won praise from the store manager and colleagues, and happily went to dinner with everyone.

If she gets a large sum of money, then she can only hide outside the human world and watch the joys, sorrows and joys of mankind indifferently.

Because she is the Dragon King, her self-esteem and pride lead her to have a reason for everything she does.

What a stubborn Sagittarius, Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

The train stopped and the tempered glass door opened.

"It's time to get off the car." Xia Mi got off the bus with the crowd.

Lu Mingfei pulled Eliyi and followed her. Constantine put the bottle in the stroller, stood up and pushed the stroller forward.

After walking around a corner, suddenly the noise and footsteps of the crowd disappeared, and everything became extremely silent.

Lu Mingfei could feel that he had passed through a realm and stood in an empty tunnel. The cold and damp wind blew in his face, lifting old newspapers and leaflets on the ground.

"Welcome to my Nibelungen." Xia Mi turned around, leaned forward slightly, smiled and waved.

The fierce wind blew up her skirt, and leaflets and newspapers fluttered in the air like scattered dandelions.

Golden flames burned on the newspaper, the gray photos on the page were burned to ashes, and charcoal-red flowers fell like snow.

"Don't be nervous, Constantine, I just want to tell you, remember to follow closely and don't get lost."

The wind stopped, and Xia Mi led the way through the tunnel as if nothing had happened.

Water is dripping from the top of the tunnel, and there are red light signs prohibiting passage everywhere. This place is perfect for shooting ghost movies. No props are needed. Just find a photographer and put the camera in front of the road lens, and the atmosphere will be created.

Eliyi seemed a little scared, hugged Lu Mingfei's arm, and hid in his arms.

"It's okay, I'm here." Lu Mingfei reassured her.

He didn't feel that he was afraid. At least there were lights here. His courage had been tempered a long time ago. Even if he went to sleep alone in a cemetery in the wilderness, he would not change his expression.

If you spent two years killing and slashing during the war, you would be so bold.

After passing through a maze of tunnels, they came to an empty subway station that was as silent as death.

"This place is completely separated from the outside world, so how is its power system maintained?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"The Nibelungs belong to another dimension." Xia Mi leaned on the railing and looked at the end of the rails. "When creating the Nibelungs, you must follow the rules. The rule of this Nibelung is 'death'. Excluding 'death' to be precise, no living thing will lose its life through ordinary means, even if it is skin and bones due to hunger, even if the other half of its body is integrated with the rock."

"As the owner of the Nibelungen, I have certain control over the power system. Losing power means it is 'dead', so it will always have power."

The old subway enters the station from the end of the tunnel, with a tooth-aching rusty sound.

"Is this subway also 'alive'?"

Lu Mingfei and others followed Xia Mi into the carriage.

"Yes, although there is no conductor, it will run on the track without interruption."

"It's really a magical power." Lu Mingfei sighed.

"You should have experienced the power of our clan long ago." Xia Mi looked at Constantine.

The subway advanced through the dark tunnel and stopped at another deserted platform.

"Has anyone broken in?" Lu Mingfei saw a very new zipper lighter by the railing.

"Yes, but rarely, about three times."

"What happened to them in the end?"

"Don't look at me like that. I didn't want to attract Cassel's attention, so I sent them all out after clearing my memory." Xia Mi walked down the stairs.

The golden flames burned and illuminated the tunnel wall, and those ugly, skinny weasels huddled in the corners and shivered.

Constantine did not restrain his golden eyes, and the king's aura made these inferior dragon subspecies kneel down and worship.

Lu Mingfei covered Hui Liyi's eyes and led her forward in the passage.

Passing through the narrow tunnel, they came to a huge space, with star-like golden light spots floating in the high darkness.
