Dragons: Reboot the New World

Chapter 174: Scene 119 I’m really for you (Chu Xia! A must-read!)
Halfway up the elevator, there was another huge earthquake. This time the vibration was so strong that it was almost a magnitude [-] earthquake, approaching the earthquake resistance limit of this campus.

Half of the floor of the elevator was shattered and fell straight down. Patsy and Fingel jumped up quickly and grabbed the ceiling of the elevator with both hands. Mai Shutoku stood on the corner of the elevator with only two fingers.

The three people looked at the dark elevator shaft below in horror. After a few seconds, flames filled the deep and slender black space. The inescapable high-temperature air flow rolled up the fire, like an angry fire dragon, rushing toward them. The hot air knife generally cuts the surface.

Patsy reached out and grabbed Mr. KFC and Shutoku Mai's shoulders, and highlighted a series of strange syllables. His domain expanded and enveloped the three of them.

"Yan Ling·Dustless Land".

Anything that is not allowed to enter this realm is repelled, be it solids, fluids, even temperature.

The flames penetrated the elevator shaft and rose, everything that could be burned was burned, leaving only the blackened metal frame, which continued to rise with them.

The expanding high-temperature airflow finally broke through the concrete structure on the top, turning into a dragon shape in the night sky and disappearing in a flash.

When they looked up, they could see the starry sky. Mr. KFC turned to look at Passy, ​​"I never thought you would really value our short-term alliance so much."

"If there weren't those things below," Patsy said coldly, "I wouldn't save you, but if they exist, it's another story."

"A force completely beyond our understanding appears. The pattern of power distribution is not what we previously estimated. In the face of overwhelming power, relatively weak people should join hands."

"You left a deep impression on me. I don't know which side you are on, but at least it is not on the side of those monsters. We still have a chance to cooperate."

"You are really a politician." Mr. Kentucky sighed, "but you are right, the pattern of power... has completely changed again. We must be thankful that this elevator is the oldest mechanical hammer structure, otherwise we cannot escape .”

"Handsome boy, why don't you let go?" Mai Jiude stared at Percy playfully.

"Sorry." Percy immediately let go of his hand.

"Damn it, I want to grab Miss Mai's shoulders too!" Mr. KFC gritted his teeth in hatred.

……

……

Chu Zihang woke up from his dream and looked out the dark window. Flames erupted from the well in front of the "Hall of Heroes". That well was known as the well of the academy's classics. In an era when there was no running water, teachers and students dug water from the well. The water has now dried up.

He put on his clothes and rushed out of the dormitory door. Red lights were everywhere, the alarm bells sounded harshly like a large group of dying flamingos, the earth shook, the water pipes buried in the ground burst, and high-pressure water jets spewed out. Like a spring, the granite wrapped around the building peeled off, and the rooster statue on top of the Hall of Valor collapsed.

Everything is like the doomsday written in the prophecy, and everyone is as small as dust in front of the doomsday.

No one can be seen anywhere. Maybe the students haven't woken up from their deep sleep, maybe they have already evacuated, maybe they are already dead...

The empty corridor and the cold air on the balcony suddenly turned around and blurted out, "Xia Mi..."

The wind blew across the terrace, as if in answer to his call.

……

……

"Why on earth are you helping us like this?" The black shadow turned back, her eyes reflecting the firelight around her, and the man standing in front of her became the center of the world. "This reason alone is not enough. Are you...really still you?"

"Then what kind of reason do you think is enough?" Shinji Ikari looked at her.

"Like...want to take advantage of me?"

"I'm sorry, I do have some thoughts of taking advantage of you." Shinji Ikari shrugged, "But it's also for the good of senior brother."

"...How could you be nice to him?"

"The last step on the road to becoming a god."

"You mean..." Black Shadow's flawless eyes widened slightly, "Is that legend true?"

"It's true." Shinji Ikari shrugged, "otherwise why would I bother so much."

"Of course, the premise is that you are willing. If you don't want to, I won't force you. This thing is useless if you force it."

He still maintained his gesture of extending his hand towards the shadow, "How about it? Come with me for such a... unprecedented big gamble."

The black shadow stared at him blankly.

Suddenly she remembered the dream that Chu Zihang had told her that day.

He wished he could jump on his boat.

"Okay, I promise you." She shook hands with Shinji Ikari tightly, and Shinji Ikari pulled her up from the ground.

"Once you've figured it out, hurry up." Shinji Ikari let out a long breath, "He must be looking for you everywhere."

"Then I'm leaving." The black shadow walked toward the exit step by step with a tentative tone, his back to Shinji Ikari, and suddenly turned around, "Senior Brother Lu, aren't you afraid that I will regret it?"

He smiled and simply said, "Love is the catalyst of the highest order."

"What..." The black shadow tapped his toes on the ground, "But I haven't seen him tempted before..."

"I don't even know if he really loves me now..."

"Traveling is just going from a place you are familiar with to a place that is familiar to others." Shinji Ikari said this.

"What?" Black Shadow asked in confusion.

"But I still like to travel. Every time I go to a city, I will walk in the streets and alleys, look around, put my hands in my trouser pockets, and smell the smell of that city." Shinji Ikari said to himself, "When I was a child, I really wanted my aunt to take me with me. Went to see those big cities, but it didn’t happen.”

"It's definitely impossible to achieve." He smiled again, with a hint of self-deprecation, "Actually, more often than not, I don't want to go somewhere special, I just want to travel far away."

"Junior sister, if I were to choose a destination for you, where would you choose?" Shinji Ikari asked seriously.

"..." The shadow tilted his head, "Probably the one we went to last time, an unknown town in Northern Ireland."

"I want to return to Binhai. When this idea popped into my mind, there was no surprise. It was just like I knew a long time ago that I would eventually return to Binhai. If I had nothing to do, I would sit on the rooftop where I used to sit most and overlook the comings and goings. of traffic.”

"Then it rained. I listened silently to the rain hitting the plastic shed of the Internet cafe below my house. All the events in my life were running through my mind like a horse, with a faint smile on my lips."

"The ending was determined very early, right?" He scratched his hair, "But when I was young, I still wanted to travel far and see places I didn't know."

"I would never be willing to go to the other side of the desert to take a look. Before I got there, I would have guessed that there were boundless lavender blooming there, red or purple like the ocean."

"Just do what you want to do, junior sister."

"This way when you are old and all this bullshit is over, you will have those fleeting moments running through your mind. You won't regret it."

"You have traveled all over the world. You want to go to a place that you have never been to. You don't know where it is, but you believe it is beautiful." "When you were living in seclusion in that unknown town in Northern Ireland, you sat next to me. It’s…”

"That's him." Shinji Ikari said word by word.

The black shadow smiled, covering his mouth and laughing, a sarcastic look flashed in the dragon's eyes, but tears kept flowing down.

Thinking about all this is actually quite ridiculous. The Dragon King falls in love with a human?What are you kidding about?

She used a different identity every time she appeared next to him, the girl who accompanied him to the aquarium, the cheerleader who cheered for him, the classmate who did homework with him after school...

Chu Zihang just intercepted their fragments and pieced together Xia Mi. It was just a phantom that Chu Zihang used to comfort himself, so that he would not keep running and running without rest until he drowned in a lonely lake.

He was the first creator of Xia Mi, and she only played the role of Xia Mi.

She wanted to say that it was all fake. She was the Dragon King Jormungandr and would not let these things bother her.

But... that small house with simple furnishings looked lonely and old. Speaking of it, she had always kept the house neat and tidy. Now that I think about it, maybe it was because it was too boring at that time.

Because there was nothing to do after school, she kept waiting and waiting. When night was about to come, she lay down on the small bed, neatly dressed, and half of the floral quilt was spread out to cover her.

Opposite is the sloping, huge floor-to-ceiling window. The afterglow of the setting sun passes through the plane trees and casts the shadow of the trees on her. The voices of parents calling for their children and the sounds of pots and pans can be heard faintly from next door...

It sounds very happy, but she only has this small house.

It's so lonely, so lonely that it drives you crazy.

If Odin's brand can be used as an excuse for the initial observation, then... what happens after that?

She didn't have to touch him, she didn't have to invite him to aquariums and movie theaters, she didn't have to seduce him clumsily but ended up ogling him...

"It's lonely..." She sighed.

Shinji Ikari shrugged noncommittally.

It doesn't matter, as long as she is willing to admit her feelings for him, no matter what the reason is, it doesn't matter, isn't this thing about feelings, the moment they are spoken out?
……

……

"Answer the phone, answer the phone." Chu Zihang kept chanting, searching around the panic-stricken campus. He didn't even have time to put on his coat.

The phone still shows no one connected.

But she clearly said that as soon as he sends a message, she will definitely reply within 5 minutes.

Chu Zihang stopped in confusion, what was... wrong with him?My normal self is not like this, no matter how dangerous the situation is, I will never be like this.

What are you panicking about, and what are you afraid of?
Maybe she should calm down now. Xia Mi should sleep in the dormitory at this time. She didn't answer the phone just because she set her phone to silent while sleeping. Besides, the place where the accident happened is far away from the girls' dormitory, so there is no need to do this. Uneasy.

But no, junior brother said that relationships require both parties to take the initiative. If she is really in danger and he doesn't go to her, then in the end she will still be giving in one way, and she will not even have any desire when she is in danger. Go find her ideas.

Chu Zihang wondered if he always lacked the initiative to chase something in his life, just like the dream he once had. He was looking forward to the girl jumping off the bridge but never said it, and he didn't even think about it. Climb up the bridge.

He seems to always be like this, reacting half a beat slower than others. Even if a girl thought about jumping on his boat, he would miss it because he didn't react quickly enough and didn't light the paddle to make the boat pause and wait for her...

Don't go on like this, don't.

"Xia Mi..." He started running again.

It turned out that the girl had unknowingly occupied such an important position in his heart.

It started to rain again, and in a blink of an eye, the rain was so heavy that even the flames at the wellhead in front of the "Hall of Valor" were extinguished.

Chu Zihang ran aimlessly and unknowingly arrived near the girls' dormitory. He wiped the rain off his face and was about to call Xia Mi again.

"Brother!" someone shouted.

He looked at the source of the sound as if he was electrocuted. He saw the girl wearing a small sling, making a small tent above her head with her hands, and running towards him with squeaky slippers on her feet.

Chu Zihang shook his head slightly and ran towards her.

The two hugged each other in the pouring rain. He lowered his head and said, "Where have you been?"

The girl didn't speak, she just raised her head and looked at him with her watery eyes.

Chu Zihang was dazzled again, and the scene of him sending Xia Mi home on a rainy evening emerged in his mind uncontrollably. The two were still at Shilan Middle School. He and Xia Mi were walking side by side, and she suddenly turned around. Smiling at him, she jumped onto the curb, held her balance precariously with open hands, and tiptoed along the narrow edge.

He naturally held the girl's hand to prevent her from falling...

On a summer night, they walked in the rain holding the same umbrella, or did they go without an umbrella?But it doesn't matter, those are not important. He only remembers Xia Mi wearing sandals and stepping in the water, crystal water drops jumping around her feet, and the girl's slender figure standing out in the rain...

What to do at this time?The girl you like tilts her head and looks at you in your arms, her eyes are like a stream of autumn water, and like the raindrops pouring down around them at this time.

Junior brother said that this is a girl asking for a kiss.

In fact, Xia Mi didn't need Chu Zihang to get closer at all. As soon as Chu Zihang's eyes showed that he was ready to get closer, Xia Mi kissed him gently on the lips.

The girl's lips were slightly cold, as if there was a cold wind blowing on the way back, and her breath carried an erratic body fragrance, covering him overwhelmingly.

When the kiss ended, the rain stopped for some reason, leaving only sparse water droplets, and their eyes met each other soaked.

"I'm sleeping in the dormitory." The girl stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, senior brother, for making you anxious."

"I slept so deeply..." Chu Zihang muttered to himself.

"Then...I'll go back if nothing happens?" Xia Mi took a few steps back.

"Yeah." Chu Zihang's mind was still in a state of confusion and he couldn't think at all. At this time, whatever the girl said was whatever he said.

Xia Mi suddenly seemed to remember something, and walked forward quickly, stood on tiptoes and kissed his face gently, "Good night, senior brother."

After doing all this, she ran away quickly.

Chu Zihang stood there, watching Xia Mi disappear into the dormitory building, and then touched the place where she had just kissed him.

"Good night."

He returned to his room, sat on the bed and lay down slowly. He began to recall, recalling all the moments that he could not forget. This was his daily homework, but today there were more, and the girl's figure was fixed in his mind. It was taken into the deepest part of my memory, together with the never-ending rainstorm, the endless viaduct, and the Maybach riddled with holes.

He closed his eyes and waited for dawn to rise.
