Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 24: Public Enemy (24)

Dragon Raja 5

“Senior Brother! Senior Brother!” Lu Mingfei shouted again.

It was still useless. Chu Zihang bit his shoulder tightly and grabbed his wrist. He couldn’t touch the glass bubble at all.

There was really no other tricks, so I just bit him. Who was afraid of who? We had just had a pillow fight, so I wasn’t afraid of being even more embarrassed! Lu Mingfei also lowered his head and bit Chu Zihang’s shoulder fiercely!

The pain made Chu Zihang relax for a moment. Lu Mingfei crushed the glass bubble in a flash, and the medicine entered Chu Zihang’s veins in an instant. Lu Mingfei raised his head tiredly.

Chu Zihang was still biting his shoulder, pressing him tightly against the wall. He was too lazy to resist. It hurt, so he just let it hurt. He was almost numb from the pain anyway.

A long, long time passed, so long that Lu Mingfei couldn’t even count it. Chu Zihang seemed to have loosened his jaw, and Lu Mingfei was truly numb. Chu Zihang slowly knelt down, and Lu Mingfei, exhausted, knelt down with him.

The two men knelt face to face, Chu Zihang’s head fell heavily on Lu Mingfei’s bleeding shoulder. His eyes were blank and he slowly closed them.

After a long silence, Lu Mingfei stretched out his hand with difficulty, patted Chu Zihang’s shoulder, and touched his hair.

    ***

After a long time, Lu Mingfei came out from the back of the car and sat back in the passenger seat.

The RV has resumed normal driving and there were no accidents. The bumps were just caused by a landslide on the side of the highway, which created a large rock in the middle of the road. The automatic driving system had no time to avoid it and shook violently when it ran over the rock.

Nuonuo switched back to manual driving mode. She glanced at Lu Mingfei, who was staring blankly at the road ahead illuminated by headlights, like a person who had just woken up from a dream, dazed by everything around him.

After a long time, Lu Mingfei slowly bent down and put his hands on his head. After a while, Nuonuo heard a strange laugh.

The boy was crying with his head in his hands, but he was laughing uncontrollably. At first he tried hard to control his laughter, but his laughter became more and more exaggerated. He laughed and shook his head, and he didn’t know when his face was covered with tears.

That was indeed joy, but also the exhaustion that was finally released after pressure had accumulated for too long. It was like a child who had been wronged for too long being told by the world that you are actually right, you have always done the right thing, you are not crazy, you are still a good brother, and you have kept your loyalty.

It’s all worth it, even if I have to run away to the end of the world!

“Is that guy really good to you?” Nuonuo asked softly.

“He’s not particularly special. He’s actually a very soft-hearted person who treats everyone very well. He’ll take care of everyone’s problems, even if it means he’s exhausted… He’s probably just being nice to me out of convenience… But, have you heard of the saying about big animals and small animals?”

Nuonuo nodded, as if he had heard someone say this: in interpersonal relationships, those powerful guys are big animals. They are leaders, respected by everyone, and their words are law. Those who have little sense of existence are small animals and can only look up to the big animals.

“When I was a small animal, there was a big animal that was very kind to me and helped me bite people. Now the big animal has been bitten and is lying on the ground. Whoever bites it, I will bite him to death!” Lu Mingfei said slowly.

Nuonuo was silent for a long time, then took out something and threw it to Lu Mingfei.

It was a mask, like the kind worn by ancient Egyptian kings during burial. The face on the mask was serene and solemn. When Lu Mingfei received the mask, his hands trembled violently, for this mask had once been worn by Odin.

He carefully stroked and examined the mask. The inner surface of the mask was covered with raised lines like blood vessels, as well as strange structures similar to biological tissues. The material was difficult to determine, and it seemed as if it was carved from the fossil of some ancient creature.

He had a vague urge to try the mask on his face, but he restrained himself because it made him feel very uncomfortable.

“If I tell you that your senior brother is behind Odin’s mask, will you still protect him like this?” Nuonuo looked at Lu Mingfei deeply.

Lu Mingfei sat up straight abruptly, his pupils blank.

After a moment, he shuddered violently and slowly lay back in his chair.

He knew very well that this was not a joke. Nono would not joke about this matter. The only person related to the weird Odin was Chu Zihang.

When Chu Zihang was fifteen years old, Odin killed his father on the highway. Determined to seek revenge, he joined Cassell Academy. Later, he was erased from everyone’s mind by some mysterious force, but he transformed himself into Odin and stayed on the rainy highway.

Everything connected together is like Jörmungandr, not Xia Mi, but the snake in mythology that bites its own tail, a vicious cycle that repeats itself over and over again.

The fog was getting thicker and thicker, making people feel terrified.

“You almost killed your brother, but when you pulled the mask off his face, you saw his face and froze. I couldn’t believe you could stop even though you were so violent, but you did.” Nono said, “Once the mask was pulled off, he stopped moving too. The two of you just froze there, like two toys that had run out of spring.”
