Lu Mingfei Returns from Monster Hunting

Chapter 278 The Truth About Black Swan Harbor (4.4k)

The next day, Lu Lincheng came back from get off work and went straight to Lu Mingfei's room.

"There's good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

"good news."

Lu Mingfei is playing "StarCraft" on his fucking laptop. In fact, "StarCraft 2" has come out this year, but he is probably a nostalgic person, still playing StarCraft [-] with the old style.

"The committee approved your application for residence."

This is not good news, Lu Mingfei complained in his heart, but asked, "What about the bad news?"

"They added a premise that they will set up a special medical team for you. Dr. Duden will be in charge. The main task is to cut you off from that parasite. You must cooperate unconditionally." Lu Lincheng said softly.

Lu Lincheng didn't go home to sleep for two consecutive nights, he looked quite haggard, his eyes were bloodshot.

This should be the result of the tug-of-war between him and the committee, and the final result has to be communicated by his own father.

"Can I leave here temporarily?" Lu Mingfei didn't respond to the bad news, but asked another question instead.

Lu Lincheng frowned, looking extremely puzzled.

"why?"

"I still have a lot to do, I think... maybe this is not the end for me."

"It's easy to come in, but it's very difficult to go out. You have to go through a lot of procedures, and even erase some of your memories about this place." Lu Lincheng persuaded, "Actually, there's no need to think about going out. The facilities here are complete and safe. Sex is also trustworthy, and if we stay here, we will die without any danger."

Lu Mingfei smiled, turned around and stared into Lu Lincheng's eyes: "How to cut?"

He didn't answer the question of whether to stay or not, but the other meaning of this sentence is undoubtedly that he agreed to stay in the safe haven.

"Do you often dream?" Lu Lincheng didn't look at him, but turned his eyes to the far distance outside the window, and asked a strange question, "And often dream about that parasite you mentioned?"

"A little bit, but sometimes it's our original home, sometimes it's my uncle's house, and I hang out at home or around. The things in the dream are not too illusory, they are quite real."

"That's the world inside you. You in that world are your real self. In that world, you should have no ability at all, right?"

"seems like it."

"You see that parasite repeatedly, emm... let's call him Lu Mingze, you said it was a hallucination when you saw him, but it was actually a dream in a certain sense. That guy is hiding in your dreams , where you have no ability and neither does he, and this is the only place where you can kill him."

Lu Lincheng slowly said the cutting method: "Kill him in your own heart, this is something only you can do."

"Sounds simple?" Lu Mingfei tilted his head with a smile on his face, "It seems that the plot of a movie is like this."

"Ordinary dreams are not good. You have to accept hypnosis and drugs to reach the deepest level of consciousness. That kind of dream will appear very real. Have you ever seen Inception? The deeper the dream, the harder it is to wake up. In that dream, being killed People feel that they are really dead, and they can no longer open their eyes."

"So if I get killed by him, I'll actually die too, right?"

"Yes, but don't worry, Dr. Durden's team will assist you."

Lu Mingfei smiled, did not speak, and followed Lu Lincheng to look at the scenery outside the window.

After coming over for a long time, he said leisurely: "A boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, with black hair and baby face, Asian, with a little slanted eyes. You know him, right?"

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and it seemed that even the sound of the silver needle falling to the ground could be heard in the air.

Lu Lincheng's pupils dilated slightly, and he froze in place.

"You know him, right?" Lu Mingfei asked for the second time.

After a moment of silence, Lu Lincheng nodded slowly. He didn't seem to want to answer this question, but it didn't matter if he answered it or not, because Lu Mingfei already had the answer in his heart.

……

The elevator sank rumblingly. Lu Mingfei just came to this place a few days ago, and today he came down again under the leadership of Lu Lincheng.

The rare silence since the reunion between father and son, the expression on Lu Lincheng's face was even more dignified than before the evaluation meeting.

He handed Lu Mingfei a mask and a pair of gloves to put on.

Very thick equipment, all-round protection, it feels that the place they are going to is full of bacteria and viruses, Lu Lincheng himself put on gloves and a mask, and fastened his cuffs tightly.

The elevator descent took much longer than before, because they were going to the last level of the dungeon.

The final sanctuary.

This name always reminds Lu Mingfei of the ultimate dogma in EVA.

Lilith, the ancestor of mankind, is sealed in the final dogma, so what will be stored in the final sanctuary, are there really some biological genes and records of human civilization as Lu Lincheng said?

Lu Mingfei couldn't believe it.

The elevator finally stopped, and Lu Mingfei couldn't help clenching his fists. He clearly felt the turbulent flow of elements in this space.

The powerful breath made people tense up.

The door opened, and a tall, wide and huge space appeared in front of the two of them.

The crimson light from an unknown source illuminated everything around it like dozens of large searchlights.

What is brighter than the red light is the large matrix at the bottom of their feet, and the blue mercury is flowing in the matrix.

He had seen a similar alchemy matrix in the underground of Kassel Academy. That matrix was used to protect the Angers collection, and it could also amplify the effect of most words.

The vice-principal's "discipline" has been enhanced by the matrix, which can suppress the speech spirit of most students in the school, even Angers will be suppressed to a certain extent.

Of course, building such a large matrix also required extremely high attainments in alchemy and unimaginable funds.

"It is this matrix that turns Haven into the Nibelungen, and it also has the effect of suppressing the ability to speak spiritually."

Lu Lincheng took Lu Mingfei for a walk on the matrix, and said the first sentence in half an hour.

Surrounded by high concentrations of mercury vapor, this thing is highly toxic to hybrids, so they need to wear masks and gloves.

Lu Mingfei nodded, didn't say anything, just looked around at these magnificent scenes.

Milky white mercury vapor is ejected from different vents, as if a giant whale is breathing under the matrix.

In the very center of the matrix is ​​a huge circular pool of mercury, and the mercury in the entire matrix flows in and out of this pool of mercury, providing energy for the matrix to operate.

A rusty metal bridge spanned the top of the pool of mercury, covered with horrible mercury spots, like a sunken ship that has been submerged in the sea for decades.

That bridge was supposed to be constructed of very corrosion-resistant alchemical metal, but it still wouldn't stand up to the years of mercury.

Lu Lincheng walked to the middle of the metal bridge.

"Start the elevator!"

There are not only the two of them here, but also many staff who maintain the daily operation of the matrix. They are wearing protective clothing and standing far away. When Lu Lincheng gave an order, someone immediately activated a certain switch.

A rumbling sound came from under the bridge, and a huge bronze pillar rose from the pool of mercury. Lu Mingfei had seen that thing before in "Gaotianyuan".

They are undoubtedly from the ruins of a dragon city, soaked in mercury for so long, there is no rust at all.

After the mercury on the surface flowed away, there was a shimmer of light flowing on the red gold-like body, and the incomprehensible totem carvings were lifelike.

There are four copper pillars in total, and a red gold chain is dragged on each copper pillar, hanging a pale figure in the center.

A twisted dark-gold spear sticks out of the human figure's chest.

He had been immersed in the pool of mercury for an unknown amount of time, and the mercury had penetrated deeply into his skin, so he was a frightening off-white color, like a sculpture carved out of limestone.

The quicksilver flowed away from his face, revealing a childish little face.

At that moment, Lu Mingfei's heart seemed to be torn apart, it was very painful, it made people want to cry but couldn't cry.

I don't know how many times he has seen similar scenes in dreams or hallucinations, abandoned churches, and seemingly endless aisles.

In the deepest part of the church, he saw the pale Lu Mingze nailed to the cross with a golden spear.

Whenever Lu Mingfei walked to the cross, he would open his eyes, smile and say, brother, you finally came to save me.

In fact, Lu Mingfei had already guessed what was hidden in the pool of mercury in the center of the matrix, but he did not expect that they would meet again in this way.

"That's why I'm so shocked." Lu Lincheng said softly, "He's been here for many years, you shouldn't have seen him anywhere else."

"What's his name?"

"I don't know, he was captured by us on the Sino-Russian border, and many people were sacrificed." Lu Lincheng said softly.

Lu Mingfei looked up at the little boy, expecting him to wake up and smile at him, but he didn't, hanging alone under the chain.

"Remember what I told you, maybe the Dragon King escaped from Black Swan Harbor? He might be the child of that Dragon King."

Lu Lincheng told the story of 20 years ago.

"Someone sold this information to the secret party through secret channels, and the secret party will naturally not sit idly by. At that time, the secret party called almost all the elites, some from Kassel College, some with gray identities, and I and Your mother is in it too."

"It was an extremely tragic battle. He is different from all the dragons we have come into contact with. He is not only cunning, but also good at hiding himself."

"Maybe he's not as powerful as the Norton or Fenrir you've seen, but with a black military thorn, he killed and wounded hundreds of A- and S-class secret party members along the way."

"Just when we were about to admit defeat, the highest level invoked an extremely powerful weapon and issued an order to clear the field, which meant that they didn't care about the death of members of the Secret Party, and it was time for them to die."

"You might think it's a nuclear weapon or an intercontinental missile, but it's not. The weapon is just a person, a person who can use the language 'Rhine'."

"World-destroying level speech spirit, he can only use this speech spirit once in his life, and the effect is similar to that of a nuclear explosion."

"This child had many ways to escape, but the guy who mastered the language captured his companion, a little girl. He did something that was completely inconsistent with the rules of dragons. In order to save the little girl, he forced his way to the advance."

"He probably didn't expect that what awaited him was a nuclear explosion."

Lu Lincheng said slowly: "'Rhine' was indeed released. The forest of hundreds of square kilometers was burned to ashes by Rhine, and the surrounding snow melted. The child was lying on the center of the explosion, but the girl disappeared. trace."

"It's just that I didn't expect that he was still alive after bearing the Rhine. The 'Rhein' at close range couldn't kill him, but it also made him temporarily lose the ability to move. So the long gun you saw was airdropped to me. I will plunge into his heart with my own hands."

"This gun is called Kungunir. It was a collection of the Secret Party many years ago. It is a very terrifying weapon. Anyone who touches it will die immediately. Therefore, an ancestor of the Secret Party brought it into the The sarcophagus, and then sank the sarcophagus into the sea, and later had to be salvaged to deal with the powerful Dragon King and used it as the bottom weapon of the secret party."

"It is the gun of fate, and it is also the gun of death, but what is frightening is that it can't even kill the child. It just seals the child's vitality. The seal may not be accurate. It should be its lethal effect and that child. The effect of the child's recovery is balanced. He can't die, and he can't wake up."

The story of Lu Lincheng answered many of Lu Mingfei's doubts, and made him more and more clear about the truth about the safe haven and the secret party...

"Our research on him has continued for many years. Based on his ability, we built this safe haven. If he dies, the enchantment of this safe haven will also face collapse. We can only lock him in this special In prison, hidden in the depths of the pool of mercury."

"He said, he is my younger brother." Lu Mingfei raised his head and stared at Lu Lincheng.

"Son, you don't have a younger brother. Your consciousness has been corrupted by him, maybe I was the intermediate host that allowed him to come into contact with you." Lu Lincheng said softly, "Now, you also know what the devil is that wants to devour you something?"

Lu Mingfei shook his head and suddenly sneered.

"Dad..."

This was the first time he used this name after meeting Lu Lincheng, which surprised Lu Lincheng a little.

"You said that guy parasitized into my consciousness with you as the intermediate body, so he has been in my consciousness since he was very young, right? He grew up with me, so which part is me? , which part is him?"

"..."

"If you let go of him, am I still me?"

Lu Lincheng couldn't answer this question, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "I don't know, but if you don't do this, one day that guy will swallow you completely, and then you will become the new Dragon King. Dragons can never coexist!"

"Of course." Lu Lincheng's voice suddenly became very soft, "If you don't want to cut, then let your mother take you away, go hide anywhere in the world, and never come back here or Kassel College."

"If I can cut it successfully, I can live here forever?"

"Then you will start preparing for this year's Christmas ball. There will be many lovely girls at the ball." Lu Lincheng said with a smile, that smile was a little illusory.

Lu Mingfei shook his head: "Father, I don't want to live here, I want to go back to my uncle's house."

Lu Lincheng was very surprised: "There are parents here, and this is your home. It is indeed small, but it is safe. If you go back to your uncle's house, you will encounter war sooner or later."

"Yes... I miss you very much. I have been thinking about it for many years, every day."

Lu Mingfei's black pupils gradually turned golden yellow.

"But now I just hope that the war will come later, and I can go home and live a few years as an ordinary person. I have received the best education in the world, I can find any job, and I have become stronger, and no one will bully me anymore No. I don’t need to shine at the ball, I meet a lot of girls every day now, I’ll chase the ones I like, and try to find a way to be happy every day.”

Lu Lincheng looked at him in disbelief, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

"Actually, I am very grateful to you. You have treated me very well. It is the first time I feel at home in the past few days. It is a pity." He said softly, "You are not my parents."

Sometimes, waking up from a dream is a good thing.

The long knife slashed across the ground, and the light pierced the fog.

The illusion of the Nibelungen gradually disappeared, leaving only endless desolation under his pair of golden pupils.

Building ruins and dilapidated walls, with no end in sight at a glance, here is Black Swan Harbor!
