Dragons: Reboot the New World

Chapter 204 Scene 149 This Lonely World ([-])

Building No. 31 is an old building with red brick exterior walls, cement balconies, and green painted wooden windows. The walls are covered with small advertisements for "clearing the sewer" or "issue an invoice on behalf of others".

The blue-painted door plate of "Unit 15, Room 201" is nailed to the green wooden door. It has obviously been unoccupied for a long time. There is a thick layer of dust on the door handle, and various small advertisements are piled one on top of the other, covering the keyhole. Living.The smell of cooking and the sound of educating children come from next door, which is warm and happy.

Chu Zihang stood in front of the door, holding a key tightly in his hand.

"Do you miss me?" Lu Mingze said standing next to him.

"Where is this?" Chu Zihang gently touched the rusty house number, "Xia Mi's home?"

"Yes." Lu Mingze nodded lightly, "She put everything that belongs to you here."

"Why don't you go in and take a look? See how she lives without you."

Chu Zihang reached out to remove the advertisement on the door, inserted the key, and turned it slowly.

He reached out and pressed lightly on the door.He is an expert in Tai Chi. Even without the help of dragon blood, he can break the metal lock tongue even with an inch of strength. But this time, he felt that the door was very heavy, as if it was about to open up a whole world.

The door opened, and the setting sun rushed in.

He stood in the sunshine, stunned.

Facing the door is actually a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and the huge sunset is falling outside the window.

The dim sunlight casts the shadow of the window panes on the ground, like a black cage.The metal window frames were badly rusted, several pieces of glass were broken, and the evening breeze flowed in and wandered into every corner of the house.

It is hard to imagine that there would be a bright house with floor-to-ceiling windows in this old building. This place was probably a power distribution room. After the circuit was renovated, the equipment was removed, leaving such a west-facing room.

It's just a room of more than 20 square meters. It doesn't even have a bathroom. It's empty. There's a bed in the center of the room. The blue coverlet is covered with dust. An old-fashioned chest of drawers stands in the corner. In the corner is a gas cooktop and an old-fashioned double-door refrigerator.

That's all the furniture.

"Can you imagine it?" Lu Mingze chuckled.

Chu Zihang didn't speak, but walked along the wall, swept his fingers across the dusty stove, and opened the refrigerator. There was only a carton of expired yogurt left in it.

The curtains are beautiful, with white lace gauze curtains and dark blue velvet curtains. Of course people who live in such a house would care about the curtains, right?
But there isn’t even a TV, so when I’m alone, I often sit on the bed and watch the sunset, right?Do you have to cover your windows tightly late at night?Otherwise... you will be scared, right?

Are dragons afraid of the dark?Chu Zihang thought.

"I'm afraid of the dark." Lu Mingze sat on the bed, his feet not even touching the ground, just dangling slightly in the air, "There are still some things, why don't you open them and take a look?"

Chu Zihang turned his attention to another piece of furniture. After hesitating for a long time, he opened the chest of drawers.

Surprisingly, it was a full chest of drawers, neatly packed.

The stacked sky blue school uniforms have the logo of Shilan Middle School on the chest, and the stacks of white shirts have different embroidered laces on the cuffs.

The hair flowers in the mazai carton range from wood to metal to tortoise shell, and there is also a shiny satin bow. It seems to be the light yellow bow she used when she cosplayed Haruhi Suzumiya.

Stockings, socks, cotton socks, and stockings are all rolled up and placed side by side on one side of a certain drawer, like a nest of furry pink mice. On the other side are colorful underwear, also neatly folded.

Chu Zihang never thought that girls' underwear could come in so many varieties.He reached out cautiously and tried to touch, but his hands were full of dust.

"Give way." He said, and Lu Mingze jumped off the bed.

Chu Zihang opened the coverlet on the bed. Inside were simple white sheets and a white duvet. The pillow was also white, but it had the pattern of Rilakkuma. The yellow bear was sitting on the corner of the pillow with a serious expression.

He sat on the edge of the bed, facing the sunset, and Lu Mingze sat side by side with him.

The sun was about to set, and darkness spread in from the window. Two long shadows, one large and one small, were projected on the wall. There was a vague noise outside, and children after school were playing basketball on the playground.

Has she been living like this all those years?

In fact, she has no parents, no demented brother, and no wardrobe full of clothes for her to choose and match. No one cooks for her, no one talks to her. She can only sit here alone in the silent night, listening. Human voices, trying to figure out what it is like to learn from humans.

The dragon named "Jörmungandr" forged a life named "Xia Mi". How much is she Xia Mi?In other words, Xia Mi actually does not exist at all, but is just an illusory shadow.

"You don't understand dragons at all. Dragons are just like people. They were just children who came to this world at first." She remembered her voice again.

In fact, this sentence was really angry and lonely, but she said it so coldly, full of ridicule, and never showed weakness.

She is a girl who never shows weakness...

Even though he was so lonely in this world, he never deviated from his own direction. Even if he faced an empty room, he would say loudly, "I'm back!"

Should be like this?
……

……

Carrying large and small bags, Xia Mi ran through the falling leaves.

The corridor was filled with the aroma of fish dinner, and the sound left by her heels was like a piece of brisk music.

"I'm back!" she said loudly, pushing the door open.

What answered her was the sound of blowing leaves, and the sunlight came over the surface, casting slender shadows behind her.
This is the late summer and autumn of 2010. Some of the chosen people don't know their fate yet, and some know it but are still unwilling to obey.

At that time, the sky in BJ was still clear and the sunshine was warm, as if all shadows were not enough to erase this peace and happiness.

There should still be a chance for everything, everything should be too late, and all bad results can still be changed before the wheel of fate finally stops.

Xia Mi walked into the house and closed the door quietly.

Then he took off his shoes, threw the big and small bags on the ground, jumped onto the bed like a tiger, and wrapped his head in the quilt, all at once.

It seemed to be no different from usual, and it seemed to be using ordinary methods to cover up the brokenness in my heart.

After a while, she sat up, slowly pulled down the quilt covering her face, and sat quietly, looking out the window at the bright yellow autumn.

"Is it autumn already?" she murmured to herself, "I don't like autumn..."

The hut still maintained its original appearance, with simple furnishings, showing loneliness and obsolescence, but it was neatly tidied. Xia Mi lay on the small bed again, opened half of the floral quilt and spread it over himself.She took out her phone and looked at the blue-lit screen in the gradually spreading darkness.

In the chat history with a certain person, thousands of messages are shining brightly, as if they have experienced the glory of spring.

Good night, what are you doing? Did you sleep well last night? What were you reading recently? Did you eat on time? Did you eat at a restaurant? You won't just get some fast food to cope with it. Where will we go tomorrow...

This summer has been so long...

are you afraid

Looking at it, Xia Mi blinked, feeling that his nose was filled with something sour.

"It's really worthless," she scolded, "It's already in the past! Don't think about it anymore!"

Back to the desktop, the desktop wallpaper was a photo of her and Chu Zihang at the amusement park that day. The other people in the photo were cut off, leaving only the two of them. The girl hugged the boy tightly, her face pressed against his broad chest. On the back, the boy's waist was straight and he could see a little nervousness on his face.

Turning off the screen, the lock screen showed her secretly taking a profile picture of Chu Zihang reading in the library. She remembered that the sun was shining brightly that day, and the SLR she bought frugally was at hand. She thought her senior brother would not notice, so She secretly took a photo of him without telling anyone about it.

Is it really that easy?To be honest, it is difficult to get rid of someone, because if you love someone deeply, you will find that the shadow of that person is everywhere in your life. No matter where you go, you will think of every moment with that person. .

He lights up the phone screen and presses it off...

Everything is him...

Her hand dropped, and the phone landed silently on the mattress.

It reminds me of the message Kaji left on Katsuragi's phone in Evangelion. Modern technology is really a cruel thing. It can retain everything, including those you want to forget and give up.

Now that things have happened, will he still think of me accidentally?
Xia Mi turned her head to look at the shadow of the window pane reflected on the floor. The setting sun slowly fell behind her, darkness spread from the window, and her long shadow was projected on the wall.

In fact, the ending of the story is already known at the beginning. It doesn’t matter what you always think about, even if there is no ending, you are all lying to yourself. No matter how nice, romantic, and beautiful the words are in the process, they will ultimately be no match for the disillusionment. that moment.

In fact, all this had already happened quietly at that time, right?I just don’t know yet, so I feel there is still a little bit of hope.

After going around in circles for so long, I finally came back to where I started.

In the end, only... I was left alone.

……

……

Early morning, BJ International Airport.

The first flight from North America to China arrived today, along with a Gulfstream private jet. The airport was crowded with a whole tour group, and the customs opened a new gate in an emergency, but there was still a long queue.

These well-dressed Americans have no choice but to wait in line there. They seem to be very educated, except for a few guys who are bluffing inside.

"Hi Mingfei! So happy to meet you!" Someone from the tour group enthusiastically rushed up to shake hands with Lu Mingfei, who had dark circles under his eyes. He had been worrying about Chu Zihang all night.

"Brother Tang Sen!" Lu Mingfei shouted enthusiastically.

"I am! Junior brother, you have a lot of friends!" Fingel said.

"Are you also here to slay the dragon?" Tang Sen also shook hands with Fingel.

"What do you mean...'also'?" Fingel suddenly realized that this situation was far from as simple as hundreds of mixed-race groups flying to China.

"Yes," Tang Sen smiled and lowered his voice, "We are on a special chartered flight. We have pre-verified the identities of all passengers. Without exception, they are mixed races. All of us are going to China to slay the dragon. "

"Isn't the battle too big?" Lu Mingfei and Fingel exclaimed at the same time.

"We are all good friends. Don't hide it. Aren't you the same? The news has spread very much recently. I think all the mixed races around the world know the news that the Dragon King may have awakened in BJ. If they hadn't happened to go to Central Africa Or places like the South American rainforests where there’s no information.”

"But please, brother! Who do you think you are? How could you possibly go to China to slay the dragon? Do you think the dragon slaying is to participate in the World Expo? Just buy a ticket and queue up?" Fingel was stunned, "It's all up to you. This cute outfit?”

Townsend did not wear formal clothes like at the auction, but wore a long-sleeved shirt, a military green vest with a bunch of pockets, loose jeans, a pair of travel shoes, and a New York Yankees baseball cap. The best thing is that on the chest of the long-sleeved shirt are the Chinese words "If you don't visit the Great Wall, you are not a hero" splashed in Chinese.

"Oh," Tang Sen smiled magnanimously and shrugged, "I'm not that ignorant of myself. With my speaking skills, any hybrid with a dangerous bloodline, let alone the Dragon King, would be overwhelming to me. ."

"I was thinking about such an influential event. It would be a pity not to be able to witness it with my own eyes... And what you said makes sense. The World Expo is not over yet. My friends and I are considering going to China for vacation and visiting the World Expo. Isn't it a killing two birds with one stone? ? Look, there are still people taking care of their families."

"Hey, hey... you try to try your luck, if it doesn't work, just treat it as a vacation and travel, what kind of calm and superb uncle must you have!"

"A mixed race born in 1977 is 33 years old this year. What's so special about having an uncle's heart?"

At the same time, a woman wearing three-inch high heels and carrying a large LV travel bag jumped out of the back door of the Gulfstream aircraft, along with a woman wearing black plastic-framed glasses. Her long, dyed chestnut hair hung down to cover half of the plane. A woman with a big face, and a little Russian lolita with an expressionless face and platinum hair.

Mai Shutoku raised her head in the morning light, untied the long hair on her head, and her black hair fell like a waterfall.

She stretched her body to her heart's content and got rid of the fatigue that had been sitting in the corner. All the men watching this scene subconsciously touched their noses, wondering if they had any nosebleeds.

Even though it is just a blurry black shadow in the morning light, every stretched curve of her body is reminiscent of the blooming of a flower.

"Oh, it's Miss Mai!" Fingel's eyes lit up, "Has she been hiding on our plane before?"

"That's right." Lu Mingfei nodded, "I don't know any black-hearted boss who made three beauties suffer such injustice."

Fingel immediately looked at Lu Mingfei with contempt, "Junior brother, is it interesting to scold yourself?"

"It's quite interesting." Lu Mingfei said seriously, "By the way, Fengou, you will accompany me to do something later."

"What?" Fingel switched to a vigilant look, and changed his face three times in just one minute. His speed was as fast as that of Sichuan opera. "You won't drag me to do coolies again, will you? I tell you no way. The cooldown of that knife is very long, no matter how much you ask me to hold it in, I won’t be able to hold it back.”

"You're really not a coolie." Lu Mingfei raised his middle finger, "Become a driver for me and my senior brother."

"driver?"

"Well, you see, senior brother has always been like that. I think it is necessary to take him somewhere to see something." Lu Mingfei pointed at Chu Zihang, who had vacant eyes not far away.
