Dragon Clan: Restart your life

As the train started, the scenery outside the window began to move backwards, faster and faster.

This was the CC1000 express train to Kassel itself. Soon it left the Chicago Railroad Company's railway network from a branch road and plunged into the dense giant redwood forest.

The redwood forest in northern Illinois surrounds the Great Lakes. There are giant redwood trees that are one thousand to several thousand years old. They cover the sky and the sun. Even in the daytime when the sun is the brightest, the forest is very dark. Only a little bit of sunlight streamed down from the gaps in the tree canopy.

Xia Mi was sitting by the car window, her right elbow resting on her knees, supporting her perfectly curved chin. The wind flowing from the gap in the window blew her hair in a slightly scattered direction along with the rising sun.

"Senior brother! The news said there was a comet today!" Xia Mi suddenly raised his head and said.

"Comet?" Chu Zihang, who was sitting opposite him, frowned and thought for a moment, "Is it a new discovery?"

"I don't know, the news didn't say anything." Xia Mi put down the tablet, leaned on the car window and looked at the sky behind the layers of trees.

"There really is a comet, but it is basically invisible during the day." Chu Zihang said calmly, "If you want to see it, I will accompany you to the mountain to see it at night."

Xia Mi flew towards him with a smile, hung on him like a koala, and blew gently into his ear: "Classmate, if you dote on your girlfriend so much, aren't you afraid of spoiling her? ?”

Chu Zihang lowered his head slightly, pressed his forehead against hers, and closed his eyes silently.

…

…

Colorful neon signs occupy a large area of ​​view.

This city is completely different from what it was back then. The traffic flow is swaying on the elevated road, and the CBD area is brightly lit.

Under the scattered lights of the building, Lu Mingfei was riding a bicycle slowly through the streets with Eriyi in his arms.

Eliyi sat on her side, her hands around Lu Mingfei's waist, and her little face pressed against his back.

The night wind drifting off the street carried the summer breeze and blew towards them, blowing up their thin clothes.

There were no people on the street. Only the street lamps along the road on both sides cast bright yellow lights, and the tall sycamore trees cast large shadows.

Lu Mingfei hummed a song and drove Eli Yi around the streets without any destination. He just wanted to take the girl behind him to take a good look at the city where he once lived.

Eriki's clear eyes lingered on the roadside scenery.

The night sky was deep and dark, and there was a small restaurant on the roadside not far away. The faint smell of chicken soup filled the air.

Those places further away are brightly lit billboards, large tracts of lush trees shrouded in shadow, and heavy clouds on the distant sky.

When passing by an old-fashioned residential area, Lu Mingfei stopped, stepped on the steps next to him, and turned to look at Eri Yi.

Eriyi pulled the corner of his clothes and pointed at the mottled exterior walls of the old residential buildings with shining eyes. It was rare that such residential buildings still existed here, with red brick exterior walls and many small advertisements posted on the walls.

"Let's go to the rooftop!" Eriki pursed her lips and said, her cold voice filled with excitement, "Has Sakura used to watch the stars on this rooftop?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned, and then he understood why Eryi was suddenly interested in the rooftop of this residential area.

When he was in a bad mood as a child, he liked to climb to the rooftop and enjoy the wind, skylight and the different smells of the city in spring and autumn alone.

When he and Eriki described all this, it was with a mysterious and fantastical color, just like the mysterious island described by Jules Verne, or the secret base mentioned in many Japanese comics, which every child will know when they are young. They care deeply about their territory.

Lu Mingfei turned the front of his bicycle and rode deep into the old community. He parked next to a huge and lush sycamore tree and carefully took Eri Yi into the stairs.

The building in this community is not high, only the sixth floor. The rooftop is on the seventh floor. The road to the rooftop is blocked by a wooden door painted green.

Unfortunately, there is no door in this world that can stop him.

Opening the wooden door, Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi walked onto the rooftop. On the large open space, there were many herringbone-shaped solar water heaters and water tanks neatly placed.

He led Eri to the edge of the cement platform, just like a young boy pulling a girl to his secret base, looking up at the stars that covered the vast night sky.

At this moment, it was not only Eli Yi who was silent, but also Lu Mingfei.

He looked at the city with mottled lights at night. The city in his field of vision and the lights of the community below him were warm and cozy. He really felt like he was back in a secret base.

Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at the girl beside him.

This profile is really heart-wrenching.

Eriki seemed to be holding her breath, the dim lights in the distance reflected in her pupils.

She was looking at the city where the boy had lived, looking for the picture the boy had once described to her. Finally, she turned her head and looked at Lu Mingfei, pursed her lips and chuckled, her eyes sparkling.

There is wind coming from all directions.

The night wind that blew through the lush summer leaves gathered around them like a trickle.

Lu Mingfei was startled. This was the power of Yan Ling, but it was not him, but the girl beside him.

Hui Liyi took the initiative to hold Lu Mingfei's hand, and they slowly lifted into the sky surrounded by the wind. She raised her hand and pointed to the sky under the deep night:

"Let's go see the stars together."

Lu Mingfei was speechless and held the girl's hand tightly with his backhand.

Their feet left the ground, like a speck of dust in the night, swaying into the sky with the night wind. The bustling city beneath their feet slowly shrank in size. The brightly lit windows of every house outlined the outline of the city, and the viaducts The endless flow of vehicles gradually became the size of ants, and finally converged into a colorful river of light that stretched across the city like colorful satin.

Even the tallest building in the city eventually became a square box in their eyes.

Lu Mingfei used [Mingzhao] as a cover and let Eli Yi pull him to the top of the clouds.

They looked down and saw that the center of the city was condensed with torch-like lights, extending in all directions, weakening and gradually turning dark, with only a few fireflies remaining on the edges of the city.

Like an island in a vast ocean

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a little dazed.

In that lost era, he also walked among the stars above his head in the clouds, overlooking the scattered land in the vast sea.

To him, who was high in the sky at that time, the land islands under his feet were also stars.

Over the years, he had seen the city's brightest sunshine in spring while hiding on that deserted rooftop, seen the rising sun and setting sun, and also seen the city's silence after the hustle and bustle...

He once thought that he was alone at that time, but it was not until much later that he realized that he had actually been accompanied by a small figure all those years ago.

The little guy who always wears suits and ties will quietly hold his hand and accompany him to blow the spring night breeze, listen to the chirping of cicadas in summer, watch the autumn sunset, and bask in the warm winter sun...

It turns out that he has never been alone.

At this moment, the stars above his head were brilliant, and the midsummer night wind blew past him, dispersing the heavy black clouds in the distance with a devastating gesture.

Lu Mingfei heard the girl next to him say:

"Sakura, look at the comet!"

At this time... there is a comet?

Lu Mingfei suddenly came back to his senses and looked in the direction Eliyi pointed.

They stood on the sea of ​​clouds and looked up at the starry sky that seemed to be very close. There was really a comet passing through the solar system.

The comet in the night sky looks like a distant badminton hanging upside down.

The bright and dense condensation in the middle is the comet nucleus, the hazy and fluffy gas envelope is the coma, and there is a dim and thin hydrogen cloud around the edge.

"Xiao Ya said that comets have no fixed size. When they are far away from the sun, their size will become smaller. When they approach the sun, their size will become larger and larger, and the comet's tail will become longer and longer."

Eriyi whispered in his ear,

"When the core of a comet approaches the flaming sun, its surface will vaporize due to heat, and the hibernating comet will enter the active period of life. Like the moon, it reflects sunlight, plus its own stimulated and burned light. Forming a radiant mantle.”

"Xiaoya also said that Sakura is the sun of this world. I think if Sakura is the sun, then I was the comet that met Sakura. Sakura lit up my world. I have never regretted meeting Sakura."

The girl leaned close and whispered in the boy's ear.

This is the longest love confession.

Lu Mingfei turned his head, stared at Eliyi and whispered softly: "You are not my comet, you are my moon. The comet will eventually leave the area governed by the sun, and will not pass through the solar system again until the next cycle comes, but I I don’t want you to leave my world again. You don’t regret meeting me, and I’m grateful to have met you.”

The corner of the girl's mouth raised, and her pupils were as brilliant and bright as Van Gogh's oil paintings. She hugged the boy's neck and slowly leaned against his ear:

"Xiaoya said that the best birthday gift is to give myself to you."

Immediately, the girl slowly closed her eyes, as if she was ready to let you have her way. All the whispers at this moment were sad in front of her, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing that the girl was not calm. heart.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but moan in his heart, that damn woman, she just led his lovely and innocent Eri to ruin!

…

In this summer's clear blue sky full of stars.

The comet that suddenly visited the earth seemed to come to witness some story.

It will eventually go away with those sad, unforgettable, painful and regretful memories.

All that's left are the best years.

…

…

On the rooftop where Lu Mingfei and the others left, the boy sat on the edge of the rooftop with his feet dangling in the air. He hummed a song called "Forget Me Not" and looked at the comet track in the night sky.

He wondered whether it was the boy who flirted with the girl tonight, or the girl who flirted with the boy.

But no matter which one it is, the girl metaphor is wrong.

She is not a comet.

Every comet's journey across the solar system is not a leisurely stroll.

Every time they come to the sun, they will be peeled off a layer of skin and lose part of their matter.

And every loss of material will directly lead to the demise of the comet in the distant future.

This is not an infinite journey, but a journey that has its destination marked at the beginning.

So brother...

Do you still remember the chips you paid to restart your life?

…

…

"God, is this the legendary miracle?"

The old man's face turned red, and he raised his hands tremblingly, as if he wanted to worship the temple in front of him.

Chen Motong stood behind him, standing side by side with Ling, looking in disbelief at the temple in front of him, standing deep in the Arctic Circle, under the glacier.

This is a temple made of black stone. Behind the temple stands a tall statue of a man. He has a handsome appearance and is not angry. The sculptor is obviously a real master. With a few strokes, he outlines the man's gaze looking down at the world and all living things.

On the forehead of the man's statue, there is a strange symbol.

Chen Motong looked at it and felt that it looked like a burning comet.

She had almost forgotten how long it had been since they had been in the Arctic Circle. At first, they had been circling in the sea. Professor Saka, the leader, insisted that the ruins they were looking for were near that sea area.

No one knows how long they stayed, until one foggy morning, the captain suddenly found an island in front of him.

At Professor Saka's insistence, half of the people were left on the ship, and they organized a temporary team to land on the island.

This is a mysterious island. They did not find any signs of life on the island, but they found traces of human activities.

They went deeper and finally found a tunnel under the glacier mountain in the center of the island, and along the tunnel they found the temple in front of them.

"Miss Chen! We have found the lost miracle!" Professor Saka came to her excitedly, held her hand and shook it vigorously, "This is definitely lost history! There is obviously a gap in human history records. , otherwise there is no way to explain why there are statues and temples of the Great Emperor here!"

"Emperor?"

Chen Motong asked blankly, but Professor Saka had already turned around excitedly and directed his assistant to start taking pictures...

Just as she was about to catch up and ask, Zero beside her suddenly spoke.

"In the fourth month of the fifth year of Emperor Yuan's reign, a comet appeared in the northwest, red-yellow, eight feet long, and in the next few days it was more than ten feet long, pointing northeast, at Shenfen..."

Nuonuo frowned and asked in a low voice: "Which book does this come from? Which comet is it recorded in, and what does it have to do with this temple?"

"From "Hanshu Astronomical Records", it records a non-periodic comet, and in ancient Roman history it was also called 'Julian's Star'."

Zero looked at Nono, and for the first time a complicated and unintelligible expression appeared on his delicate little face.

When the three words "Julian" fell into his ears, Nono's mind was shaken and he was lost for a long time.

She looked at the statue in the temple and suddenly understood which emperor in history the statue belonged to.

At this moment, Professor Saka in front seemed to have found something, and he softly interpreted the ancient text on the temple wall:

“…He came from the divine and will return to the divine…”

"... He will live as long as Nestor, and after his ascension, he will return to his place in the sky and be listed as a star. You can welcome his soul from the stabbed body, turn him into a star, and make him eternal. For the gods, high in the sky, guarding Capitolium and Vroom..."

"...He will eventually return in a thousand years, a thousand years from now..."

"...and his name is..."

——Gaius Julius Caesar!
