Dragons: Reboot the New World

Chapter 79 No.20 Five Acts Absolute Realm
"When she died, she could neither see nor hear."

Caesar gently raised his right hand, "I can only hold her hand and tell her that I am by her side."

His slender hand slowly curled up and he made a fist. The joints made a slight popping sound. He clenched his fist tightly, "I didn't dare to let go of her hand, because I thought how scary it would be."

"You can't see or hear. If no one holds your hand, you will feel like you are the only one in the world. In the dark... you are the only one."

"She had no idea of ​​the honor given by her family. At that time, the only connection between the world and her was the warmth from my hand."

He shrugged, "And what was my generous and powerful family doing at that time? Where was my father, a business leader? Where were you, my uncle, the leader of the family?"

"For someone who has been declared dead by the doctor, you can't expect us to do anything else for her, Caesar." The old man spread his hands.

"This is the result you have been waiting for for a long time. You are naturally willing to watch it happen quietly." Caesar looked at the undulating Gulf of Genoa in the distance. Dark clouds were rolling and gathering over the waves, and their color was as heavy as lead. .

"You're so capricious, do you believe in your heart that your mother's death was caused by the family?" The old man shook his head, "Why did the family hurt a noble woman who married into the Gattuso family?"

"Forget it, uncle, don't try to convince me. You have watched me grow up. You know exactly what kind of person I am. What I believe will not change easily."

The old man sighed faintly, "Caesar, the family chose you because of your self-confidence. But you have to understand that self-confidence is not everything to success. The black king or the white king. They have disappeared in history. Humans have killed After all the four great monarchs of the Dragon Clan, the era of the Dragon Clan is completely over.”

"At that time, we hybrids will be the best group in the world. We are far better than humans. We also master speech and alchemy. We also understand science, and our enemies are all dead."

"At that time, the pattern of the world will be rewritten. Just like the Age of Discovery and the Industrial Revolution, history will usher in changes, and you will become the leader of the mixed race." The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, "This It’s not easy, Chu Zihang or Lu Mingfei may have the strength to compete with you, and the power of the family will help you, and you will become...the emperor!"

The old man's voice was low and hoarse, but it was full of sly temptation, as if the snake in the Garden of Eden said to Adam and Eve, "Eat the fruit from that tree, and you will be on par with God."

"Yes, Emperor."

"Stop being naive, Caesar, do you think that for thousands of years, hybrids have paid a huge price and constantly fought against the dragons just for justice?"

"No, this is a power struggle. After the Dragon Clan, the power of the world will undoubtedly belong to the mixed race. What the Gattuso family has been looking forward to for hundreds of years is a descendant with excellent bloodline who can control the huge The right to become a king-like person and influence the direction of the world!”

"Now you understand what the family's gift is to you, right? It's the whole world! You will become the person who writes the history of the world, just like Gaius Julius Caesar in history!" The old man stared at Caesar. Za's eyes asked, "Are you going to refuse this gift?"

Caesar looked down at the glass in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

"Caesar, you still have a chance to make another choice. As long as you agree, the family will convene the next school board meeting and put the "Nibelung Plan" on the agenda again. "

"This plan will cultivate a person who can end the Dragon Clan. From then on, he will become the leader of the entire world." The old man smiled, "You have to understand that although the family has a say in the school board, the school board is not controlled by the family. .”

"In order to fight against the dragon kings who are about to awaken, the "Nibelung Plan" will be launched sooner or later. If the candidate is not you, then it will be Chu Zihang or Lu Mingfei. Once they become candidates, you will and fell behind step by step in the competition with them. "

"Opportunities never wait long for a person."

"Like this cup?" Caesar raised the glass in his hand. "

"Cup?" The old man frowned.

"Uncle, what kind of family are you talking about?" Caesar looked at the old man with rare seriousness.

"A family is a group united by blood. It is composed of people who have the blood of the Gattuso family. All of us together are the Gattuso family. If we spread out, the family will disappear."

"The family loves every member and expects every member to repay it with equal love."

"But in my eyes, the family thing is simply something imagined by some people. In its name, to establish one's own power. What flows in the blood of the family is the desire for power. If I accept the gift from the family, I’m like this cup.”

Caesar shook the glass, and the clear water in it swayed, "What is in the glass is the desire for power. The family gave me its desire for power and asked me to master the power."

"But if one day..." He raised his head and drank the water in the cup, "the water in the cup is gone, the cup will lose its meaning. At that time, the cup will naturally be abandoned."

He threw the glass on the ground with a bang, pink and white glass shards flying everywhere.

"Caesar, you think too much." After a moment of silence, the old man sighed.

"Isn't it like this?" Caesar sneered, "I will take over the power on behalf of the family? Don't fart, you just need a puppet, just like you need my mother, you have to use her blood and fertility ability in your In my eyes, she is just a fertility machine suitable for breeding high-quality offspring!”

"When this fertility machine gives birth to a child, it is like a cup that is emptied of the water inside. It has no meaning anymore and can be thrown out and broken at any time."

"The family loves each of its children!" The old man looked stern.

"The family only uses each of its children!" Caesar responded with the same coldness, "If I had known that this attendance was arranged by the family, I would not have come at all!"

After a long silence, the old man sighed, "It only takes a moment to establish hatred, but it takes a long time to establish love. Caesar, you are still too young. One day, you will understand what is meant." What exactly is 'family love'?"

The old man took out an envelope from his arms. The seal was hot-stamped with Gattuso's family crest in red paint. "This is a letter from your father. He hopes you can calm down and think about it carefully."

Caesar lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then suddenly smiled and turned to look at the old man, "What exactly is your so-called 'family love'? I have lived in Gattuso's family for so many years and I haven't felt even the slightest bit. "

"With your proposal and your family," he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out one fierce word with the force of a mouthful of thick phlegm, "Get out!"

……

……

Chu Zihang slowly opened his eyes, and the morning sunlight shone on his face through the white gauze curtains. Everything he saw was white, with a layer of warm light covering the white.

He was in a trance for a moment. He didn't believe in God, and naturally he didn't believe in heaven, but the face in front of him was pure and beautiful, without a single flaw, just like an angel lowering his head to kiss a sinner's forehead.

He tried to move forward, trying to see the face clearly.

He smelled the warm and moist breath of the angel, with the fragrance of plant leaves after rain, and the faint fragrance of gardenia. "Good morning, senior brother." When Chu Zihang almost pressed his face against his, the other party put a white finger on his forehead and said slowly, "Are you going to act like a hooligan just after you woke up?"

"Xia Mi?" Chu Zihang was stunned. What blew towards him was Xia Mi's breath that smelled of unknown perfume.

"Who else could it be?" Xia Mi pursed his lips, "Senior brother, did you lose your memory when you woke up after a nap?"

"Where's Lu Mingfei?" Chu Zihang was stunned and turned to look at the bed next to him. There was an obvious dent in the junior brother's position, but he was gone.

"Senior Brother Lu..." Xia Mi sat down next to Chu Zihang's bed, his calves swaying, "He went shopping with Sister Nuonuo and said he would bring us breakfast by the way."

"Oh..." Chu Zihang asked, "Where is the principal?"

"Senior brother, did you really lose your memory during your sleep?" Xia Mi's eyes widened in surprise, "The principal went back last night. He said he had to rush back to school to do something."

"My head feels uncomfortable, I don't know why." Chu Zihang rubbed his forehead, feeling that his memory was a bit confused.

"Speaking of which, senior brother, something didn't feel right on the Ferris wheel yesterday." Xia Mi came over and stared at his eyes carefully, as if to confirm if there was anything wrong, "Is everything really okay?"

"It's okay." Chu Zihang replied. He tried his best to support himself and looked out the window at the river. The ships passing by were passing by. The bright sunshine in the morning seemed to coat the whole world with a layer of color.

"How about we come and have a chat," Xia Mi smiled with narrowed eyes, "Since I'm waiting for Senior Brother Lu to bring breakfast, I have nothing to do, so why not come here to kill some time."

"Well," Chu Zihang looked away, "What do you want to talk about?"

"I don't know," Xia Mi looked at the ceiling boredly, "Senior brother, please give me a head start."

"Then..." Chu Zihang hesitated for a moment. He remembered that the information he read before said that Xia Mi had a younger brother.

"I saw in your profile that you have a younger brother."

"Well, I have a younger brother." Xia Mi paused, "My younger brother is a dementia."

When she said this, the sunlight outside the window filtered through the guardrail, casting shadows on her clean and soft face. Her eyes were very deep and could not be seen clearly in the shadows.

"He and I are twins. He was born just over an hour later than me. Because I was my husband, my mother exhausted all her strength when she gave birth to him. She suffocated for half an hour, so he became a dementia child. ." Xia Mi thought carefully with his fingers.

"So my parents said it was my younger brother who gave me the opportunity. So I should do better than others, because my share is half of my younger brother's. I deserve it no matter how hard I try. You will be praised." Xia Mi stuck out his tongue.

"It sounds like you hate your brother?" Chu Zihang asked.

"No, how is that possible?" Xia Mi was stunned, "I like him very much, just like a puppy. Wouldn't you like your own puppy?"

"Would it be inappropriate for you to use this metaphor to your own brother..." Chu Zihang complained.

"Okay! Senior brother! You actually learned how to complain like Senior Brother Lu!" Xia Mi glared at Chu Zihang fiercely.

"No, I'm just not good at expressing myself. It's not like I don't know how to complain." Chu Zihang replied.

"I've known it for a long time... Senior brother seems to be the kind of person who has a lot of inner drama, especially the eighth wife..." Xia Mi whispered, "Okay, don't interrupt, continue talking about my brother."

"When I was in junior high school, I took him out to go shopping. Everyone looked at him with disgust, saying whose adults were so irresponsible that they let a little girl come out with such a fool?"

"No one was willing to get close to him. Although he was stupid, he was very sensitive. He could only grab my skirt and glare at those people fiercely."

"I was ignorant at that time and felt that people looked at me strangely, so I also disliked him. I didn't allow him to follow me closely on the way home. I asked him to walk ten meters behind me and walk in. I will ignore him."

"He was afraid that I would ignore him, so he followed me. The distance of ten meters was enough. I was unhappy, so I walked very fast without looking back."

"After walking for a while, I suddenly felt something was wrong. When I looked back, I couldn't find him. I was so scared that I ran back quickly. Finally, I found him in the alley. A group of people were pressing him to the ground and beating him. The leader was a boy from our school. , you’re not familiar with me, but you want to chase me.”

Speaking of this, Xia Mi smiled sheepishly, "After all, senior brother, you know that I am pretty, and there were boys who chased me in the past."

"Yes." Chu Zihang nodded, he was deeply convinced of Xia Mi's appearance.

"Anyway, the situation at that time was that the boy thought that my brother had ill intentions towards me," Xia Mi sighed, "I saw my brother in the crowd, with streaks of blood and dust on his face, and he smiled stupidly when he saw me Well, I stepped on his face with a foot... I don't want to mention how sad I am... I just told my brother that I don't blame you, just beat them."

"What do you mean?"

"My brother is very good at fighting. He is very strong and not afraid of anything. But I don't allow him to hit anyone casually. If he hits someone once, I will ignore him for a month..." Xia Mi said, "So he just All those boys were beaten to the ground, and I allowed him to continue to hold the hem of my skirt and follow me on the way home."

"You are very kind to your brother."

"Sometimes when I look at him, I wish he had never been born." Xia Mi said softly, "and he wouldn't have to suffer so much."

Xia Mi stopped talking, and Chu Zihang sat silently on the bed, not knowing how to continue the topic.

He suddenly remembered that in EVA, Ling Boli was lying dying in the ejection cabin, and Shinji Ikari, that bad boy, desperately opened the hatch and stuck his head in, yelling, "Are you okay?"are you OK?
Goddess Ayanami could only say, "I don't know what expression I should face at this moment."

Everyone has something to hide in their hearts, right?Just like the absolute realm mentioned in EVA, the absolute spiritual realm, you don’t want others to walk in.

In Chu Zihang's heart, there is an endless viaduct on rainy nights and a Maybach riddled with holes, which has been parked there for many years.

Chu Zihang felt that he often sat alone in the driver's seat of that car. It was raining heavily outside and no one talked to him. The song played repeatedly on the stereo. He was very lonely, but he never thought about inviting others to sit in the car. In the passenger seat.

For other people, sitting in that car watching the rain over and over again is torture, right?Even Susie would be impatient, right?
But he somehow had a feeling that if it were Xia Mi, she would be happy to listen to him slowly.

　Not water!The dialogue between Caesar and Frost is necessary!Because I said before in my acceptance speech that I want to do my best to solve some of Caesar’s character issues, and this will be an important turning point!
