Lu Mingfei, who studied Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

The raindrops fell heavily like dense jade beads, and layers of rain curtains washed over the portholes, as if strung together into transparent curtains.

The world seemed as dim as if the lights were turned off. In the sky, lead-colored clouds hung low. The CC1000 express train was speeding through the hazy curtain of rain. The white light of the xenon lamp on the front of the car seemed to be shattered by the wind and rain, and it could not illuminate the darkness hidden in the sky. the way forward.

It rains a lot in Chicago in the spring, especially in this area of ​​Illinois. Lakes and forests all need natural water for irrigation, but what happens here is the gentle and silent slanting wind and drizzle, rather than the violent winds like today. The rain was so violent that it seemed as if a gate had opened in the sky, and the water fell violently to the earth, as if it was about to flood the world.

Lu Mingfei leaned against the porthole, looking at the red maple leaves outside the window that were weighed down by the rain. The rain dripped down the veins of the leaves, causing widening ripples in his memory.

In Lu Mingfei's memory, he had encountered such violent weather several times, and every time something unfortunate happened, it was as if it was a warning to people that God was about to pronounce sin and punishment.

In the first heavy rain, the senior brother's father disappeared; in the second heavy rain, his precognitive dream ended; in the third heavy rain, he and Chu Zihang carried out the "Kuimen Project" mission under the Yangtze River, wandering between life and death several times between.

Raindrops smashed on the car window. Lu Mingfei shook his head to drive this unlucky thought out of his mind. He began to miss the happy guy in New York.

About half a year has passed since the sensational "Skinner" incident in New York. Although this horrific incident of serial killings was suppressed by the Department of Enforcement and the New York City Police Department, it was rumored in Cassel College. crazy.

If the "Kuimen Project" was led by Lu Mingfei, who combined with Chu Zihang and the "Moniyah" to kill a dragon attendant, then the "Skinner" incident was the result of Lu Mingfei single-handedly killing a dragon. Deadpool...at least that's how it was described in the mission report given to the Executive Department.

[... He has a keener sense of smell than the commissioner of the execution department. When the senior commissioner only noticed the clues, he went deep into the enemy camp alone, and relied on his super judgment and strength to solve a problem with a bloodline exceeding "A" level. Dangerous hybrid! 】

For a whole month after that, the Night Watch Forum and the campus newspaper of Cassel College were almost full of topics such as praising Lu Mingfei for how brave he was, and how the "S" rating was correct... It's worth mentioning. The authors mentioned are Professor Guderian, Minister of Information Fingel and President of the Freshmen Association Chilan.

In short, Lu Mingfei became the most popular figure in Kassel College and the most popular person in the Executive Department. Together with Chu Zihang, he was called the Ace Commissioner and future successor of the Executive Department.

Even Professor Schneider, who has always been known for his strictness, said clearly: "The two of them do not need any partners to perform their tasks. They are the most ferocious lone wolves. Just one person can be as powerful as a reinforced company.'A Commissioners below the 'level are only likely to hold them back if they mix with them on the same battlefield!"

In the past six months, Lu Mingfei has helped the college complete no less than two tasks, including many high-risk tasks.

He has been to Nicaragua, Mauritania, and other corners of the world, and has met all kinds of people like drug lords and arms dealers, but every time he completes a mission, the shadow of that mission in New York still appears in his mind, lingering in his mind. Don't go.

Of course, Lu Mingfei kept the matter of Old Tang's awakening of his spiritual spirit hidden, but not mentioning it at all would arouse the academy's suspicion. Therefore, in the mission report, Old Tang was mentioned by Lu Mingfei as "a hunter friend of mine". Pass.

Fortunately, no one paid attention to his hunter friend who lived on instant noodles three times a day. People only cared that justice had reached him and the sinner had been punished. It was enough that the ending looked perfect, right?

The brilliance of an "S"-class hero is enough to cover up many things hidden in darkness... such as the dark past of the woman named Kempisa.

She was born in a remote area of ​​Thailand. Her mother was in the flesh business and would bring a different man home every day. Her birth was an accident and she didn't even know who her father was.

She grew up in poverty and mud.

Later, her mother brought home an older man and told her to call her "Dad" from now on. However, she was born with a sharp mind and always felt that something was wrong with the way that "Dad" looked at her, and her mind seemed to be filled with evil desires. .

She told her mother about this, but instead of standing up for her, her mother accused her of being promiscuous and even tried to seduce her own father, and cursed her.

Then the stepfather's claws reached out to her, and she was beaten black and blue in the resistance. It was then that she understood why the stepfather's eyes never left her from the moment he stepped into the house, because the man's goal was from beginning to end. It's all her.

The girl was "sold" to a man by her mother.

From that day on, Kempesa also knew that the world was really terribly dirty and full of devils.

‘…Then there should be gods, right? ’ The girl was crying while being tortured. She was so desperate that this unrealistic idea came to her mind.

But she didn't expect that God would really respond to her.

The holy light turned her pupils into gold, and the blood in her body began to boil. She had the power of God - the power to control others mentally.

She felt that the man's skin was so dirty that she wanted to cut it off completely, so she let the man peel off all his skin in front of her.

…

After the mission, when the execution department was cleaning up the scene, Lu Mingfei squatted down and lowered his eyes.

There were no windows or sunlight in the corridor of Jianzi Building. It was dark as if it were an eternal night. The flames on the ground had long since burned and were dry and cracked like scorched earth. A dark shadow was embedded in the ravine like an ink splash painting on a church, vaguely A ferocious and voluptuous human form can be discerned, and the black mud-like rotting remains have long lost their flesh, blood and soul, and are broken and withered like this woman's gloomy life.

Professor Mance walked behind Lu Mingfei and watched the boy stare at this coquettish, chaotic but vaguely morbidly beautiful mural. He silently left behind a copy of this woman's life story.

After Lu Mingfei looked at it repeatedly, he dug through the wall of the corridor. The warm and bright sunlight shone down, shining on the black and smelly shadow, like a holy light bathing the evil spirit, like a golden light all over its body. The angel's deep embrace of the shadow is as dazzling as redemption.

"We will burn this building down later. There will be no traces left. There is no point in doing this." Professor Schneider stood at the end of the corridor and frowned, watching the boy's actions and pouring cold water on him.

He believed in the dogma of iron-fist and cold-bloodedness, and he frowned because he believed that their perfect and outstanding "S" class should not act like a goddess and engage in these merciful rescues, indecisive.

"Just think I'm stupid." Lu Mingfei said softly.

He is not compassionate, nor does he want to save anyone. His idea is very simple. A woman has been immersed in darkness her whole life and has never seen the light, so she blindly believes in gods, even if she falls into a darker abyss... Since she is alive If you can't touch the light when you die, then at least stay in the sun after death, even if it is only for a few moments.

The bagpipes whistled, and the wind chimes on the CC1000 express rang. The speed of the train began to slow down and it slowly slid into the station. It was like a black beast returning home from exhaustion inadvertently slowing down its gentle pace. Lu Mingfei heard the whining sound. The whistle, pulling reality from memory.

The "S" class once again completed its mission perfectly, made a triumphant return from the corner of the world, and returned to Kassel at night in the heavy rain.

…

"It's raining again."

On the platform, raindrops were hitting the dome of the curved shed one after another. The rain curtain was flowing wildly, and the raindrops were strung into a bead curtain to cover Chu Zihang's eyes. Through the fine raindrops, he saw the thick fog in the distance. The two hazy and pale xenon lamps were blurred. From a distance, they really looked like two giant eyes hiding in the darkness and watching the world's monsters.

Chu Zihang wrapped Diesel's windshield blouse tightly and put his hands into his pockets. Memories and thoughts clung to his heart, flashing back in his mind like an old movie.

Every rainy day, the shadow of a man with an unkempt beard always flashes in Chu Zihang's mind. The rain in his memory was also so heavy that day, and the cold wind carried raindrops, which was biting to the bone.

There are still Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao in my memory. At that time, Lu Mingfei was still a little boy in the lower grade. In their aristocratic school where the elites were like a carp crossing the river, it was known for its "decline" and "erosion". It was completely unlike them. Such a glorious "S" class, Lu Mingfei at that time was as cowardly as a pile of mud that couldn't stand on the wall. When people saw it, they couldn't help but feel superior and ridicule.

But Chu Zihang thought this boy was cute and cowardly, and couldn't help but want to give him a ride, but Lu Mingfei refused. He put his schoolbag on his head and rushed into the rain without hesitation, as if People all over the world are angry about this bad weather.

He was like a drowned dog in a state of embarrassment, but he picked up the strength and courage from nowhere and ran very fast in the rain, as if faster than the rain curtain, as if faster than the hurricane, as if even time could not catch up with him.

Chu Zihang looked at the back of the junior boy. This was the first time that he, who was like a god in Shilan Middle School, took the initiative to send out an invitation and was rejected for the first time. But he was not angry at all. He just silently remembered the boy. After thinking about it, Chu Zihang took out his phone and sent a text message. He read it silently and confirmed it, counting his heartbeats while waiting for a reply.

The text message was responded to in a timely manner. Not long after, pure black cars arrived. In the triangular frame on the front of the car, two "M" overlapped to form a mountain shape. It was a Maybach62, a nine-million-dollar Maybach, with the driver's seat It was a man who drove for his boss, a man he both despised...and despised.

The man is his father, but there is no tenderness between father and son at all. The man will only brag in front of him about the performance and superiority of this Maybach and how glorious his job as a driver is... and so on.

The man kept chattering, and the more Chu Zihang listened, the more annoyed he became.

‘But no matter how expensive or gorgeous this Maybach is, it’s not yours. What’s so good about being a driver? Although his new "dad" drives a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which is not as good as a Maybach, at least the car was bought by someone else with real money and money. It is his own car, so his mother likes the new "dad". After abandoning you, your mother has become someone else's. You can only drive someone else's car, thinking about your mother in your memories, and brag! ’

Chu Zihang was very tired from being talked about by men, not from listening to it, but from feeling tired. It seemed that after so many years, the man still didn’t understand what he was lacking... What he was lacking was not money. Chu Zihang and his wife did not worship money. He is not greedy for money, and what he lacks is not that poor mouth. He has a sharp tongue, otherwise how could he have deceived his beautiful mother in the first place?

It's a responsibility. Can you be a little more responsible as a husband and father? Like a man who can stand up to heaven and earth, rather than like... an "old" boy who is forty or fifty years old and hasn't grown up yet?

But what can he do? Begging a man to support him and his mother? Stop talking nonsense. This man can’t even support himself. He only knows how to give birth but cannot take care of himself. His wife has to be taken care of by others, and his son has to be left to others to raise... So Chu Zihang is becoming less and less like him, man. He is so talkative that he can't stop talking, but Chu Zihang talks so little that he looks like a mute with facial paralysis.

Until the Maybach crashed into the "miracle" on the elevated road in the rain, looking at the man who dared to swing a knife in the face of the supreme "god".

Only then did Chu Zihang understand what it means to be responsible as a man. He didn't have it at that time, so he regretted it. He kept this memory to this day and dared not forget it, nor did he want to forget it, because he was the only one in the world who still remembered that If he forgets about a man, it will be as if that man never existed at all.

That man said that if he died one day, there would be only one thing in the world that could prove his existence, and that would be Chu Zihang with half of his blood.

So his life was trapped on that day, and Chu Zihang never walked out of that rainy night.

Why didn't you stay? Even if you said a few less offensive words, even if the man picked him up in the car, he could give him a smile and call him "Dad"...

"Senior brother."

The train slid into the platform, the door opened, and Lu Mingfei saw Chu Zihang waiting for him from a distance.

Chu Zihang looked at his junior brother who had matured a lot after half a year. He wanted to put on a smile, but he couldn't escape from the memories, so his already paralyzed face and the way he pulled the corners of his mouth looked a bit funny. .

Lu Mingfei walked out of the heavy rain. He knew what Chu Zihang would think about on a rainy day, and he happened to have questions to ask.

"Senior brother, I want to ask you something." Lu Mingfei came to Chu Zihang amid the sound of rain.

"Just ask."

“Do you recognize a boy named ‘Lu Mang’?”

There was a loud thunder, and branch-like arcs tore through the sky. In the lightning, Chu Zihang's shocked face was reflected pale.
