Dragon Clan: Restart your life

"Girl, what is your plan?"

"Kill Herzog, and then let my brother kill me."

"...You should already know the ending, right? Don't you think about telling the turtle all this?"

"I have considered it, but it doesn't work. This would make my brother too pitiful." Yuan Zhinv lowered her head.

"Pity?" Lu Mingfei was startled.

"Even if he becomes the head of the Sheqi family and has unparalleled power, he has very little left. His closest brother has become a murderous evil spirit. What is left of his childhood? ? There is only sadness and the past that cannot be escaped. Apart from that, there is only longing for that man." Yuan Zhennu whispered, "He placed all his longing for his 'father' and his family on that man. For a man, if even this pillar falls, he will really have nothing, and I don’t want him to leave this country with nothing.”

Lu Mingfei was silent.

He actually doesn't know the turtle very well. In his last life, when his boss and his senior brother were responsible for dealing with the turtle, he was responsible for going deep into the enemy camp and running away with Eri.

And the person who knows Xianggui the best in this world is undoubtedly Yuan Jingnu in front of him.

"My brother has been living in the past like me. He felt that I had been erased from his life. But in fact, he never escaped that rainy night, so he wanted to leave this country and go to a small town where no one knew him. , but he can’t do it before everything is truly settled, so it’s up to me to cut off his last shackles.”

"I will kill Herzog with my own hands, and then let my brother kill me. All fate will stop here. He will carry the last warmth in his heart and go to the distant seaside in my place to regain his life."

"Even if many years have passed and he accidentally thinks of the past, he will still remember that many years ago, a man named Tachibana Masamune almost became his adoptive father. That would be the last good thing he has left."

Yuan Jingnu smiled and closed her eyes, slowly describing his plan.

His face was filled with calm, so calm that Lu Mingfei remained silent. The feeling of depression invisibly expanded his chest and lungs, and surged into his heart.

"Don't you hate him anymore?"

"I can't hate you." Yuan Zhennu said softly, "We are relatives. There are only two of us in this world who are absolute relatives. Is there anything in the world that is more important than the fact that he is my brother and I am his brother? What? No."

"But he doesn't seem to think so."

"There is no way." Yuan Zhennu suddenly smiled, her smile as bright as falling cherry blossoms, "He is a fool. Anyone who insists on justice is a fool. There is no justice in this world. Those are just made up by adults to deceive children. Just words. But he believed it, and he was even willing to give up everything in order to uphold justice for others."

Lu Mingfei stared into Yuan Zhennu's eyes and said softly: "I remember, you said before that you still hate him, because when you were the most desperate and weak, the person who should be with you most in the world used The knife pierces your heart."

Yuan Zongnu smiled silently, gorgeous and bright. He came today wearing light makeup, and his eyebrows were somewhere between Fengjian Liuli and Yuan Zongnu.

"Yes, I should hate him. What kind of justice in this world can override the heads of loved ones? There should always be a person for whom you are willing to sacrifice justice and justice, even if you are the enemy of the whole world. No matter what, you must understand this feeling, Mr. Lu, right?"

His eyes were a little blurry, as if he was remembering some past events.

"I remember Lu Jun, you said that you also have a younger brother. No matter what he does, you will forgive him. In fact, my brother does the same. No matter what I did when I was young, he would forgive me. But all this happened after meeting that man. It has gradually changed. So I don’t blame him, because I already know who is the culprit that caused all this. I will kill the culprit. After killing him, my brother will be completely free, and no one can restrain his life. "

Lu Mingfei said: "It seems you are not afraid of the general anymore."

He still remembered that the first time Yuan Zhinu came to him, his boss, and his senior brothers, the purpose was to kill the king general, or Herzog.

The latter has long become a nightmare in Yuan Zhennu's heart. He is extremely eager to kill him and extremely afraid of him.

Yuan Zhennu said with a smile: "After seeing his true face, what else is there for us to fear? In the final analysis, he is just a clown who cannot stand up to the stage."

"I used to be afraid of the unknown, but after seeing his true face, I realized that he was still a human being, a human being who tried to betray the tribe. I no longer have any fear of him. All that is left is murderous intent and pity."

"That's very well said." Lu Mingfei looked sideways at the rising sunrise and chuckled, "Then, I promise you. What a cunning guy. I originally wanted you to continue betting on me to win. In the end, they actually defeated my army."

Yuan Zhennu bowed slowly: "Lu Jun, thank you for your willingness to accommodate my willfulness."

"I'm not accommodating your willfulness. Besides, I can't guarantee that things will go according to your plan." Lu Mingfei said, "Have you met Mingjun and the others?"

"I've met them. They are a group of outstanding young people."

"Then you should also be aware of Mingjun's aura, right?"

"...Is it [Baqi]?" Yuan Zhimu looked at him deeply, "Lu Jun, thank you for being willing to stand by us."

The morning light shone brightly on the streets of Tokyo, and the cherry blossoms fell without wind, swirling in the air and falling on their shoulders.

"Then today's visit ends here." Yuan Zhennu bowed slightly.

"Are you going to find my boss and senior brother?" Lu Mingfei suddenly asked.

"...It sounds like it will be a very interesting reunion." Yuan Zhennu was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, turned around and walked in the direction from which Lu Mingfei and the others came.

"By the way, let me ask you about your personality..."

Yuan Jingnu stopped, looked back and smiled: "We have merged. I am Yuan Jingnu and Kazama Ruri. We have accepted each other and reached self-reconciliation. No matter which one I am, I hope that my brother can be happy."

Lu Mingfei was speechless. He stood on the hillside and looked at Yuan Zhennu's retreating figure. He suddenly shouted: "Have you ever thought that the tortoise may also have recovered its memory!"

"I went to see my brother and confirmed it in his eyes, but I'm sorry. Take good care of Eri, she can be considered my sister, I'm leaving."

Yuan Zhennu waved with her back to him, and disappeared into the early morning light accompanied by the girl beside her.

Lu Mingfei watched Yuan Zhennu disappear at the end of the street, thinking to himself that such unreserved love was so heavy that it was daunting.

But if the turtle still has that father-like man in his heart, what else is left in your heart, little girl?

You are the one who truly has nothing.

Why do you want to light up other people's world instead?

…

…

Genji Heavy Industries.

Xingshen Temple on the rooftop.

Yuan Zhisheng's eyes were hazy with drunkenness. He had drunk too much wine, so much that he couldn't even hold back the emperor's blood, and he was on the verge of collapse.

Sakura knelt down next to him, saying nothing, just pouring wine for him.

Yuan Zhisheng was drinking and thinking aimlessly.

He guessed that everyone plays many roles in the world. Some roles complement each other, while some roles are clearly hostile. Everyone will face a choice at some point. It is the product of the collision between different identities. They cannot be reconciled or avoided. A choice must be made and a price must be paid.

Just like many years ago, he chose the former between his righteous partner and his brother. Since then, he has lost the childish girl who once relied on each other, but gained the courage to cut off everything. He can kill anyone with a knife no matter who he faces. The courage to do so, because he has paid the most expensive price for justice.

There is a Chinese saying called extinguishing relatives with righteousness. Even the closest people cannot shake your hand holding the knife, so who can question your insistence on justice?

Except... yourself.

Yuan Zhisheng's eyes were dim. He had never questioned his choice, because this was the justice he had been implementing since he was a child.

When you have implemented a concept in your heart for ten or twenty years, questioning it is like questioning everything you have adhered to in the past.

In a daze, he seemed to have returned to that miserable rainy night, where the wax figures made of girls' bodies stood silently deep in the basement, and the evil brother hummed and operated in the bathtub filled with chemical reagents.

At that moment, Yuan Zhisheng was swallowed up by overwhelming despair.

For him, from that moment on, the boy who called him brother was dead, and only the devil was left wearing his brother's body as clothing. He had to kill that devil!

But when he really stabbed the blade into his brother's heart, the devil that descended on him suddenly disappeared. The once obedient girl came back again, confused and happy in his arms and said, brother, you are back, but He couldn't tell which one was real and which one was fake. He could only grit his teeth and twist the handle of the knife, and a roaring fountain of blood gushes out from his brother's chest.

He sometimes wondered if he would have felt much better if he had faced the devil's counterattack at the last moment instead of a childish girl's joyful greetings.

In this way, what he killed was not the child, but the devil occupying the body of the child.

But such self-deception seems to be of no use.

He hasn't had much rest in the past few days, and every time he falls asleep, he has a recurring nightmare.

In the dream, he returned to the small town on a rainy night, and the world was filled with the rustle of falling rain. He stood in front of the dark wellhead, and the girl lay at the bottom of the well, her eyes wide open and lost their luster, seeming to ask him why he wanted to. Abandon yourself...

"Sakura." Yuan Zhisheng suddenly called Sakura's name, "If one day... you kill me to save the entire Tokyo, will you do it?"

Sakura tilted her head and still didn't speak, but those eyes as calm as a lake without any ripples seemed to explain everything.

"What if it's the whole world?" Yuan Zhisheng said in a serious tone, "I want to hear your real thoughts."

"I am a woman." Sakura said calmly.

Yuan Zhisheng looked confused, what is this answer?

"Women are sometimes emotional creatures, so I will take you, young master, to escape with me." Sakura's tone remained calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"...Where to escape?" Yuan Zhisheng asked subconsciously.

"I don't know, but if I kill you to save the world, then you will definitely become the target of many people, so we must escape."

"Why... don't you just wait for death? Even if you escape to the end, the world will be destroyed. All this is completely meaningless."

"Death is a terrible thing, please be careful when speaking."

"Sakura...you used to be a killer, right?"

"It is precisely because I am a killer that I realize that death is a terrible thing." Sakura said softly, "If you die, you will never see the people you want to see and the people who want to see you again. On the way to escape, we You can walk the same path you have walked before and meet the people you want to meet.”

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned on the spot.

People you want to see and people you want to see?

"Are you thinking about your brother again?" Sakura asked.

"Is it so obvious?" Yuan Zhisheng whispered.

"Everyone is no longer the same as before." Sakura continued, "If you were to go back to the past, I don't think you would be able to stab me with that knife."

"Why do you say that?" Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but frown.

"Because of Miss Eriki, your attitude towards Miss Eriki has changed."

Genji was silent. He knew that Sakura was referring to the fact that he had taken Eriki out of Genji Heavy Industries in the past few months.

He sometimes still wonders, if he could have discovered that his brother was a ghost earlier and discovered his abnormality before all the sins happened, would he not have to take action against him? He could have controlled the young girl, just like Eriki. Although he would lose his freedom, at least he would survive.

But it was too late.

But there are no ifs in life.

Yuan Zhisheng suddenly felt a sense of awakening. It turned out that he was not as firm as he thought. He did not have any doubts about the decision that day. He thought of so many hypotheses. Could it be that he was just seeking psychological comfort and letting himself go? Feeling better?

Perhaps he is still looking for another path, a path that can balance the dual identities of a righteous partner and an older brother.

Yuan Zhisheng looked up at the scene of the morning light falling into the world, and was silent for a long time.

He lowered his head and felt unprecedentedly tired, as if the tiredness that had been suppressed for days and nights suddenly burst out, and the world was filled with the rustle of falling rain. He was unable to think about anything anymore and just wanted to sleep deeply, even if I will see the dead girl again in my dream.

"Sakura...are you still there?"

"Yes, everyone."

"Actually, a few days ago... I had a nightmare about you."

"I?"

"Yes... it's you... In the dream, you jumped from Tokyo Tower and fell like cherry blossoms. I covered my ears and closed my eyes, not daring to listen or see..."

"Well, it's really a nightmare."

"cherry……"

"What's wrong?"

"are you still there?"

"Here I am."

"Sakura...I'm a little sleepy."

"Then please take a good rest."

"I might still have nightmares, could you please just sit next to me and wait for me to wake up?"

The sun seemed to be slowly sinking from the sky, turning into countless magnificent golden light pillars all over the city of Tokyo. The dark clouds that were originally spread over the city like a sea wave were broken into pieces. After a few dozen seconds, the thick and dark clouds were completely dispersed by the dawn.

Morning light falls from the sky.

Sakura knelt on the ground and let Yuan Zhisheng rest on her thigh. She leaned down and whispered in the morning light. The sunlight outlined her slender and tall silhouette, as if she was covered in colorful clouds. She stretched out her slender hands and quietly Matching Yuan Zhisheng's palm.

"Please rest well, I will not leave you."

Under the surging sleepiness, Yuan Zhisheng closed his eyes and fell asleep in the girl's arms.

The old thief's greatest kindness to the turtle is to prevent the turtle from knowing the true face of Tachibana Masamune until his death.

To be honest, I considered splitting Tachibana Masamune and Herzog, but in the serialized version, the two did not blend together. Until now, I haven't even written much about Tachibana Masamune. I just skipped it if I could, because in the early stage, Tachibana Masamune was a very positive and decent character. He was so decent that he didn't reveal any flaws. Even a narrator could deceive people. How do you let the character reveal his flaws? I feel awkward writing about him.

General Wang is also a pure villain. When these two merge into everything, I just feel like a clown.
