If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 1052

Lu Mingfei stood in front of the guardrail beside the porch, and a little fire lit up beside him. Fingel, who walked to his side, struck a match on the brim of his hat, and protected the fire with his left hand to prevent the sporadic flames from spreading in the desert of night. Extinguished by the wind, the cigarette he was biting in his mouth was slowly lit, and a little smoke rose in his breath.

The desert at night is very quiet, only the whistling wind can be heard. Several generators connected in parallel on one side of the wooden house make some noise. Tumbleweeds roll across the sand dunes. Two old men stand under the eaves of the wooden house and watch This dark, starless and moonless world sticks to each other's silence.

"I'm sorry for bringing up unhappy things at the dinner table." Fingel took a sip of a spicy cigarette and lowered his head, his left hand fingers rose and fell gently on the guardrail one by one.

"No, it's quite a surprise."

Lu Mingfei admits that his pig brain is overloaded. Sometimes when the bad news is too terrible, people who cannot accept and understand it will think it is a bad joke.

It's like one day when you turn on the TV, the hostess in the news broadcast tells you that the third Orion boom will explode tomorrow, and everyone will die.Of course, you will not feel fear and sadness for this bad news, because you can't imagine the scene at all, and you will just stand there in a daze like Lu Mingfei, not knowing how to react.

But at the dinner table, Lu Mingfei saw Zero's silence and Finger's downcast, letting him know that this was not a joke, it was a cruel reality, but because it was too far away from him, it was difficult for him to feel sad.

"What do you think?" Seeing that Lu Mingfei was still silent, Fingel finally couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"It's a bit unreal." Lu Mingfei replied in a low voice, "Why did such a good person die suddenly?"

Fingel opened his mouth, with a look of sadness on his face, and he didn't know which point of Lu Mingfei's simple sentence touched him, causing his emotions to fluctuate greatly.

He flicked the cigarette ash and exhaled, "It's not uncommon for people to die in this world."

Now in this world.

Lu Mingfei seemed to ask a long time ago, what is going on in this world now?But he didn't know how to ask mellowly, but immediately he found that he didn't need to ask, and the other party gave the answers he had always wanted to know.

"Walter Alheim is over, and the last Garden of Eden on the Spine of the World is also lost."

Fingel turned his head to look at Lu Mingfei and said flatly, "After you left, the hearts of the people in the Garden of Eden gradually became unbalanced. Once the hearts of the people dispersed, it was difficult to lead the team. First, there was the internal division of power in the first few months. Pai is going to continue to dig into the hollow point under the North Pole, using the solid ice of more than 1 years as the carrier of the alchemy matrix to reproduce the "World Tree" that used to be under the Yuan Ruins of the Academy, isolate a mimic Nibelungen, and take the initiative to destroy it. The key to create an underground garden to hide from the world.”

"But on the contrary, the radicals believe that this is a shameful act of surrendering without a fight and abandoning the whole world to dig holes and hide. They reject this cowardly approach and advocate the unity of the few remaining human forces in the world. Let go of bloodline transformation technology. The knowledge brought back by the vice-principal with his life from the big library has been able to preliminarily simplify the process of "Twelve Gospel Spiritual Structures", and directly carry out physical transformation on the operating table, although the effect is weaker than the original version The increase is dozens of times, but at any rate, it can make the average recipient reach the level of the first three generations of Genesis, and three-on-one will have a good chance of winning against the Dragon Warrior hunters."

Lu Mingfei listened with a blank expression. He wanted Finger to explain, but when the other party did start to explain, the huge amount of information almost overwhelmed his brain core, and he had to seize every second to turn around with all his strength. My brain absorbs these paradoxical and apocalyptic stories.

"The stalwart of the conservatives is the current Minister of Wart Alheim. The more advanced he is in the development of alchemy weapons and ultra-modern technology, the more he feels that the current human beings have no chance of winning compared with the gradually recovering dragon civilization. We are now The most powerful hydrogen bombs, 'Holy Infant' and 'Oxygen Destroyer', are no longer able to deal a fatal blow to the next generation, and the initiative of the war has long been in their hands."

"The representatives of the radicals are Caesar and Nuonuo. Since you left last time, Caesar has taken over your responsibilities. Although the current situation is not optimistic, he believes that there is still a way to turn defeat into victory. Human beings now seem to be Looking for the dawn in the dark desert, it is hidden in a corner of the desert, we did not find it because the time has not come."

"It's very similar to what Caesar would say, should this be taken from one of his speeches?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Fingel nodded silently, "But after that speech, turmoil broke out. Inside the Garden of Eden, radicals and conservatives clashed fiercely for the first time. The cause was that a small group of fanatics in the radicals intended to destroy The alchemy matrix of the World Tree' has placed bombs on the ice layer and exploded at fixed points in order to destroy the retreat that the conservatives have always insisted on."

"The turmoil was huge, and there was a technical problem with the fixed-point explosion of the bomb. Not only the alchemy matrix, but also the outermost mirage of Watt Alheim were destroyed, but this is not the worst, really The reason why everything went to an irreversible abyss was the accidental death of the 'Key' during the civil strife."

Fingel took a deep breath and smoked, "The 'key' has been in charge of the detonation authority of the global nuclear warehouse. This is the last guarantee that human beings will not be completely exterminated. The explosion of the nuclear bomb cannot exterminate the dragons, but it can exterminate them. The earth environment they carefully remodeled is precisely because of this guarantee that Walter Alheim can become the last Garden of Eden."

"How did the 'key' die?" Lu Mingfei finally couldn't hold back his expressionless face, because he realized that things seemed to be really out of control, even though the world itself was on the way out of control. .

"I don't know. A stray bullet that no one expected? A well-prepared sniper attack by conservatives who wanted to destroy the idea of ​​​​radicals? Or there were dragon spies in the Garden of Eden. That bullet penetrated Nono In the back of her mind, she killed the "key" in her arms. The first person to find out the bad news was Caesar. He kept a sickle weasel by Nuonuo's side as a warning. Once Nuonuo's life was dying, The weasel would have come back to him to warn him, but this time the weasel acted as the death bird."

Lu Mingfei was a little out of breath. If this was the script, he would definitely burn it with a backhanded smile and cursing. He couldn't imagine the expression on Caesar's face when he turned his head at the moment when Caesar suddenly received the wailing of the death bird on the frontline battlefield. what does it look like.Is it collapse or anger, or is it so numb that Jin Tong does not even know that she is crying?Just thinking about that scene made him feel a little depressed.

"After Nuonuo died, the voices of the conservatives reached their peak. Although the information blockade was in place, the information was still lost. Without the global nuclear warehouse as a threat, Eden was quickly approached and accepted. Caesar, who had undergone twelve surgeries, rushed to the first wave of defense with the last radical 'Atonement', but..."

"In the end, the garden of Eden could not escape the end of being wiped out. The imitation Nibelungen spread was torn apart. The leader of the dragon army that raided the garden of Eden was none other than him. He killed Caesar and the advance troops face to face. Although I heard that Caesar said something to him on the battlefield when he started, but it was obviously useless. He cut off Caesar's head in an instant when he started, announcing the end of the war. Ending." Fingal took a deep breath.

"Are you kidding?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"I also hope I'm joking. You've played against him, and you know he can do these things. He will indeed do these things. He is no longer the reliable friend we know." Fingel's eyes drooped.

The corner of Lu Mingfei's tense mouth twitched violently. He probably guessed who the "he" Fingel was talking about, but he couldn't understand how the other party would stand against the mixed race and even kill him with his own hands. friends!

"We can't stop him, no one can stop him (Finger glanced at Lu Mingfei with complicated meanings when he said this), he almost killed all the survivors in the entire Garden of Eden, at the most dangerous time Chu Zihang, Ryoichi and Erika rushed back to Walter Alheim. Chu Zihang exploded during the battle. Even if he did not undergo surgery, he used the taboo knowledge he did not know where to find. Breaking through the limit of the refining technology of the mixed blood, approaching the impossible four-degree blood violence, and fought him head-on for 3 minutes, but lost in the end."

"The person who confronted him in the end was Erika. With the 'Judgment' fully activated, he also suffered a lot after fighting Chu Zihang, who was bloody four times. EVA also seized the opportunity Activated Walter Alheim's firepower system, forcibly creating a possibility for her to kill him." When Fingel said this, his expression was a bit bitter, "but she actually relented."

"Professor Manstein saw everything in the control room, and finally resolutely lit the 'Holy Child' under the Walter Alheim."

Lu Mingfei didn't know who Liangyi and Eliyi were, but he was extremely sensitive to Chu Zihang, so he asked subconsciously, "Where is Chu Zihang? Is he still alive?"

"Also alive, Ryoichi used the pyramid's speech boosting effect to strengthen the dust-free land, and the evolved 'Glass Brahma City' forcibly resisted the explosion of the 'Holy Infant', protecting Chu Zihang and the last batch of surviving people. People. Now they have migrated to other places, escaping from the stalkers of the dragon servants." Fingel said slowly, "But the others are basically dead, the whole of Walter Alheim, the whole of the last Kassel College."

Lu Mingfei took two steps back, bumped his legs against the chair by the window, and sat down involuntarily.

Behind him, the innocent sounds of two children playing and playing, as well as the trivial noise of picking up dishes and chopsticks, faintly echoed in the windows with warm yellow light. On Geer's face, there was a little less warmth and a little more bleakness.

After a long time, Lu Mingfei looked up at Finger's back and asked, "How did it become like this?"

He still asked this question, not caring about the unknown risk of revealing that he was not the original Lu Mingfei in this almost real dream.Because he was so dazed and terrified that such a hopeless world suddenly spread out in front of him. Although he hadn't smelled and seen those real bloody storms, he could still understand from Finger's words. In the words, in the words, I feel the bone-biting despair.

It turns out that the desert he arrived in is already one of the few paradises in this world?Only the blazing battlefield of this hell on earth can barely escape the suffocating horror of the violent storm outside.What irony, and what despair.

—

How could it be like this?
Yes, how did it become like this?
Lu Mingfei didn't understand, he thought the end of the world was really far away from him.In the reality beyond the dream, after returning to the academy on the trial train, Principal Angers invited him to the office for an afternoon tea. The wise old man told him many things about the future, Maya The doomsday prophecy, the end of the solar period, the meaning of earth fire and geomantic omen.

To be honest, he sounded a little confused, but the reading comprehension level cultivated in the nine years of compulsory education can still accurately grasp the core of the old man's long words-the beacon has been ignited, and the disaster is about to come.

But he really has no sense of crisis. Whether it is the resurrection and fall of the King of Bronze and Fire, or the secret spying of the King of Earth and Mountain, he has an inexplicable sense of insensitivity to this kind of crisis that others regard as the end of the world. That is Never seen the ease of a truly desperate man.

But now someone stuffed despair into his mouth, forcing him to bite the bloody mouthful, which also had to arouse the sluggish fear in his heart.

He does not accept such a reality, nor does he accept that such a reality will come true.

He was afraid that such absurdity would become a reality, and he couldn't imagine that the fig leaf was completely torn apart in a world that was in turmoil but still had the appearance of peace. This kind of apocalypse should only exist in stories about old people threatening children, and they must not be allowed to become real, not at all. Can't.

So Lu Mingfei wanted to get to the bottom of it, he wanted to know why and what was the cause.

Fingel turned to look at Lu Mingfei who was sitting on the chair, and was silent for a long time, "Who knows?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

Fingel sat on the guardrail and looked sideways at the black shadow of the tumbleweed walking by in the dark desert, "The unknown 10 minutes in the Hongjing incident? The Dragon Roar conspiracy of the Beijing subway? Or is it The hearing that fell apart?"

"Wait, the hearing?" Lu Mingfei suddenly raised his head and stared at Fingel.

"Yeah, that hearing." Fingal sighed. "Don't tell me you've forgotten about that."

Lu Mingfei had a weird expression on his face, "I did forget a lot of things, can you tell me about it?"

Finger looked at Lu Mingfei without saying a word, until he felt uncomfortable looking at Lu Mingfei, and then he said slowly, "That was a long time ago. I always feel that in that hearing, he After falling out with the secret party, things have been developing in a bad way. Since then, we have passively drilled one set after another, and the hidden enemy is always one step or even two or three steps ahead of us, just like we actively cut out I got a wound, and there's nothing I can do to watch him fester."

Lu Mingfei's pupils gradually shrunk, and a strange feeling suddenly emerged in his heart. This dream seemed to involve something he couldn't understand.

"That hearing was the secret party's biggest bad move. At that time, no one thought that he would choose to give up and defect so simply." Fingel said lightly, "I always thought that hearing would have a big impact. The problem, the whole hearing is not just a failure of the secret party to play tricks. Some things that were originally obscure will become clear, at least as far as I think, as early as the hearing, the 'Emperor' His hand is already on the hand of the secret party playing chess, forcing us to force him away."

"The leader of the investigation team, Andrew Gattuso, I always remember this name, it was this person who single-handedly stimulated his emotions during the hearing, so that he chose to end the farce of the hearing in the middle of the hearing, simply Leaving the Arcadia mess behind and making it worse."

"Andrew Gattuso. Are you sure it's that name?" Lu Mingfei suddenly stood up and said.

"What's the matter?" Fingel looked at Lu Mingfei, meeting his eyes.

Lu Mingfei turned his gaze to the side and did not meet his gaze. It was just that there was a huge wave in his heart, because he heard Chu Zihang and Lin Nian mention this name. This is the projection of reality on the dream. All the information he knows has been cobbled together into an absurd script, or is this dream itself a one-time prediction of the future?

Lu Mingfei heard something in the darkness that seemed to be opened, and the indescribable voice was so deep that it fainted to the depths of the limit of his thoughts. He turned his head to look at the darkness, and Finger subconsciously looked at the place he was looking at, but All I saw was a black desert.

"In short, you know all this now, what do you think?" Fingel turned his head back to look at Lu Mingfei's profile.

"What do I think?" Lu Mingfei didn't understand what he meant.

He is not the original owner of this dream, or this world line at all. Of course, he doesn't know how the original owner would view this nightmare.The only thing he wanted to do, if he had to think about it now, was to wake up and go to that damn hearing and see if he could stop something bad from happening.

No matter what this dream means, and whether it symbolizes more, he feels a sense of urgency. He is willing to trust his intuition, prevent problems before they happen, and pull the track of reality to the principle that there is always no such disaster in the world. Incorrect.

"Water Alheim has been destroyed, and the nuclear bomb warehouses around the world have probably begun to be dismantled. The dragon stalkers have begun to liquidate the reclusive mixed races around the world, killing rebels, and raising surrendered slaves." Finn Geer said softly, "This desert is still safe for the time being, because no one would have thought that there would be a family of fireworks left in the depths of this desperate situation, but I think it will be a matter of time before this place is found."

He paid attention to Lu Mingfei's reaction and found that he was not angry because of this, so he continued, "The conservatives have failed, and the radicals have also been destroyed, but this does not mean that everything is over. We still have hope As Isaac said in that speech, we have been looking for light in the dark, either we trek to the dawn and sunrise, or we sleep in the long night."

"Dawn. I can't see where the dawn is? Is there really hope in this world?" Lu Mingfei truthfully expressed his current feelings.

"Of course there is hope." Fingel suddenly lowered his voice, "Do you still remember what I said before, when Walter Alheim was destroyed, the head of the Uesugi family confronted him, Chu Zi, who was bloody four times Hang desperately left a scratch on the bone cage of his heart, and the trial expanded the killing will in that scratch, and successfully wounded him under the restraint of the 'World Tree Matrix'! Afterwards, Professor Manstein The detonated 'Holy Infant' directly gave him a positive impact. According to reliable sources, someone saw the escort of the second-generation guard carrying away a coke on the ruins of the North Pole."

"Lin Nian is dead?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Finger froze, he looked at Lu Mingfei and couldn't believe that he still called that guy by this name, but after seeing Lu Mingfei's clear and doubtful (or stupid?) eyes, he Still whispered, "No, there is a high probability not. His life form is no different from that of a pure-blooded dragon. Even if his body dies once, his spirit will cocoon and enter the stage of rebirth. The 'Emperor' will not allow the throne to be left alone. His existence, so his rebirth will not be as long as ordinary dragons, but will be shortened to a certain period of about one year?"

Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that Fingel had traveled a long distance for nearly half a year to find this place, and all this happened half a year ago.

Fingel said, "Chu Zihang has always been willing to believe that he has not really left us, so he wants to bring him... the him we used to know, back to us. He believes in Lin Nian, yes, he believes in Lin Nian In fact, the year has never been lost, and it is only under certain restrictions that it will completely betray the human camp. According to the reincarnation mode of the dragon race, at the moment when the spirit enters the stage of cocooning, the dragon's thinking is the purest, and it is also Easiest to shape"

"On the way here, I have been contacting Chu Zihang and the others through the last satellite launched by Walter Alheim. They locked on a particularly low-key Dragon Stalker team half a month ago. They found this team The team probably started from the north and headed southeast all the way, and the route is very consistent with the calculated 'return route'."

"It was only half a month ago that they finally confirmed that there was a bronze coffin bound with dragon ropes hidden in this team, so we have reason to think that this team is the one that died in 'St. The group of dragons that remained after the baby's explosion, and that coffin is the hatching vessel that hides the 'cocoon'."

"If we can snatch that coffin." Fingel took a deep breath and looked at Lu Mingfei.

After a long silence, Finger stretched out his hand to Lu Mingfei, "Junior brother, can I still call you that? You have changed a lot in these years. At that time, in the team from Walter Alheim to the Tower of Babylon, only Only you have successfully met the throne, none of us know what happened to you, but since that expedition almost ended in a disastrous failure, you have chosen to withdraw disheartened."

"The vice principal used the technology of the large library to revive Zero in a frozen state. You chose to disappear from our sight together with Zero one day. I am not angry about this, and I am even a little relieved. But now We need you to come back and help us, because this may be the real last hope." Finger stretched out his hand to Lu Mingfei and stared into his eyes, "We have waited for the dawn that Caesar said, But you lack the power to grasp the dawn. You are the strongest among us, and you are also the ultimate weapon that has completed the twelve sets of gospels by virtue of blood. We need you to blow the final horn to this world."

"I" Lu Mingfei looked at that hand, and the flames in the eyes of this man who was supposed to be a good-for-nothing but was blazing.

This era has really changed a lot of things. It can turn him, a waste material who is mixed with the version, into the ultimate weapon in others' mouths, and it can also turn his former friends into a murderer who destroys mankind.Even a ten-thousand-year-old dog who couldn't make a good fart with three sticks in the past will be able to speak lines like a hero one day.

He made a move, subconsciously wanting to respond to that realization.

But at this moment, the wind chimes rang, and the door of the wooden house in front of Lu Mingfei was gently pushed open, and the warm yellow light inside the door cast a long, long shadow.

Zero stood by the door, holding the two children by left and right hands, looking at them quietly, without speaking, but his eyes seemed to say everything.

Fingel didn't look back, he stared at Lu Mingfei, the fire in his eyes made Lu Mingfei call out to the man named Hilbert Jean Angers, who would have thought that one day the useless dog who had been repeated for ten thousand years would also There are times when coal mines are set on fire.

Or everyone in this era has been ignited early, and the flames of the disaster turned the world into burning coal, either burning in the flames, or extinguished into cold cinders.

Disaster oppresses everyone in this world, forcing them to wake up in the dark and guard the light in their hearts.

"It's always hard to choose in a situation like this, isn't it?" someone said behind him.

Hearing this voice, Lu Mingfei suddenly raised his head and then turned around. Sure enough, he saw a boy in a suit sitting on a chair by the window. Those two clear golden pupils looked at the dark desert quietly and intriguingly.

Lu Mingze.

"you"

Lu Mingfei turned his head hastily, and found that Fingel, Ling and even the two lovely children on the porch had disappeared, only the bleak yellow light inside the door shone on the floor and steps, looking so bleak.

A choice that presumably could affect the direction of the entire world is dramatically aborted.

Lu Mingfei heaved a sigh of relief inexplicably, like a mountain that was about to fall and sat down again.

He dare not choose, because this is not his choice, but the choice of Lu Mingfei in this world. He has no right to choose his own future for that Lu Mingfei, nor does he have the right to choose the future for this world.

"...Why did you come here!" Until the end, Lu Mingfei was forced to question like a resentful woman.

"Who told you to go to such a weird place? It took me a lot of effort to find you. And do you know that you will be late for the hearing?" Lu Mingze said with a sigh.

　ps: there is one more chapter to enter the hearing
