Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 138: Thunder and the Watcher (48)

Dragon Raja 5

If Jun Yan couldn’t be released, he still had a backup plan. The important thing was not to leave any one behind. He had been such a ruthless person since he was a child, so he became such a killer when he grew up.

He took a few deep breaths, suppressed his physical and mental exhaustion, and tried to walk steadily, just like… going to school.

    ***

“Wait, wait! Since senior brother is still himself, he just forgot that he is himself, which means that the cause and effect line has not actually changed. That word spirit just made everyone forget him?” Lu Mingfei felt relieved and was in the mood to deal with the little devil.

“How can the causal relationship be changed so easily?” Lu Mingze rolled his eyes. “Even us devils can’t resurrect the dead, so of course things like this Dragon King can’t do either.”

“Is the devil so great?” Lu Mingfei also rolled his eyes like him.

“Hey, brother, please speak with conscience. Haven’t I helped you kill enough Dragon Kings?”

“Then could you be one of the Dragon Kings yourself?”

“Guess!” The little devil tilted his head, his face full of joy.

“I knew I couldn’t get anything out of you. Let’s get back to the topic we were discussing. Even if that word spirit can erase everyone’s memories, why are all the things related to our senior brother different? There are other people living in his dormitory, and Finger’s writings about our time in Japan are gone. Even the newspapers say he died in a car accident when he was fifteen. These aren’t things that can be achieved by simply modifying memories,” Lu Mingfei said. “Also, what’s going on with Abdullah Abbas?”

“If you want to erase a person’s traces from the world, modifying their memory alone isn’t enough; you need some additional means. Have you seen The Truman Show?”

Lu Mingfei nodded.

“‘The Truman Show’ is man-made. He has lived his entire life in a huge studio. Everyone around him is an actor, and his life is a giant reality show. By the same token, when we want to erase a person’s existence, we also need some people to accompany the performance, and some people to do the behind-the-scenes work. Now you want to find the disappeared Chu Zihang, you have to find the flaws in this reality show. But because of the help of the Word Spirit, the limited flaws are buried very deep. But you still found a few, such as Su Xiaoyan,” the little devil sighed quietly, “To be honest, I was surprised that the woman still remembered your senior brother. Isn’t her personality big-breasted and brainless? She didn’t care much when her son was alive. Why is she more concerned than anyone else when her son is gone?”

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then he picked up the champagne that the little devil had poured for him and drank it all in one gulp. “You know shit!” He leaned against the bulkhead and spoke slowly. “The most difficult mark a person can leave in this world is in another person’s heart.”

It’s rare for him to say such profound words, and I can’t help but feel that I am a philosopher too.

Chu Zihang once said that the human brain is the most unreliable hard drive in the world, always losing things. As time goes by, things that once seemed unforgettable will become as indifferent as water. But for some people, even if they are dying, they still want to carve another person’s name on their tombstone.

If he died, whose name would be engraved on his tombstone? His imagination ran wild. Caesar certainly couldn’t make it, and Nono would surely not want to either. And Finger had become a traitor, so Chu Zihang’s name was probably the only one left. “Here lies Chu Zihang’s good friend, Lu Mingfei, whose life was meaningless, and buried with him is his beloved game console…”

This tune is not bad, it should be more humorous.

It was a rare moment that the little devil didn’t laugh at him for pretending to be profound, and poured him another glass of wine. The two of them drank in silence, and in this narrow cabin, they actually felt somewhat comfortable and relaxed.

“You haven’t told me what’s going on with Abdullah Abbas.” Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered, “Could that guy be the mastermind behind this?”

“This problem isn’t free, 1/4 of a life. Thanks for your patronage, brother! Today is the day we’ll be done!”

“Mission accomplished! Get as far away from me as you can!”

“Oh no!” Nuonuo suddenly exclaimed.

Lu Mingfei was startled and turned around immediately. Nuonuo was rummaging through his tactical backpack.

Nuonuo raised her head and stared at Lu Mingfei blankly, “He took away… that mask!”

Nuonuo always kept Odin’s mask in his bag, wrapped in layers of tinfoil. This ancient mask seemed to hold immense power, yet also held a curse of fate. Wearing it would transform Chu Zihang into Odin. It also held the key to unlocking certain mysteries.

They fled all the way and were almost caught several times. Nuonuo thought it would be better to throw the mask to Chu Zihang and let him wear it to see if an Odin could drop from the sky and lead them out of the siege.

But this thought was only fleeting. In fact, Nuonuo didn’t dare let Chu Zihang touch the mask. Now that the mask was gone, it was easy to guess who took it.

Nuonuo and Lu Mingfei looked at each other, and rushed to the door at the same time, pushing it with all their might.
