Chapter 243 Will you marry me?
"Does it matter who I am? I'm very curious. You who hope to always catch up with Gu Ye, what will you become when you find out that he doesn't care at all and everything you do is meaningless?" Su Enxi raised her beautiful eyes and spoke lightly.
"Because all hybrids are carefree, you also learn to be carefree. Because they regard you as S-rank, you force yourself to become stronger until you are worthy of this title... But what if you have achieved all of this? Will you really feel happy?"
Lu Mingfei was stunned. He had never thought about this question before, or he had always been avoiding it. He was just a bad kid, how could he have changed completely in just a few years?
Now he will no longer be a coward. Both his skills and intelligence are much different from before.
But he didn't dare to stop, because once he stopped, he would feel a sense of emptiness. It seemed that only after helping his friends could he feel a sense of satisfaction.
This is why he could easily give up his life for a deal, just to kill those dragon kings. He didn't even have the desire to be a hero, he just wanted to help Gu Ye.
“It doesn’t matter what this kind of thing is, right?” Lu Mingfei suddenly spoke, and he turned his head away.
"Not everyone has to live their own life. I think it's good the way it is now. Brother Gu pulled me out of the quagmire, and it's normal for me to give back to him. I have never felt unhappy."
"You are a bit like Sanwuniu now..." Su Enxi said softly.
"Sanwu girl? Who is that?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Just a silly girl, but you have to live for yourself once, otherwise you will definitely regret it." Su Enxi said.
She began to understand why the boss had been paying attention to this boy. He had actually never gotten rid of the Blood Sorrow, but he hid it deeper than other half-bloods.
The blood sorrow of other hybrids is always superficial, so they will huddle together for warmth and live in the present like crazy. But Lu Mingfei is different. He is so lonely that he has been living with a mask on, but he can't realize it... I don't know whether this should be considered sadness or happiness?
Once such a person truly finds himself, there may be only two outcomes: either he becomes stronger than anyone else, or... he completely degenerates into a monster devoured by loneliness.
"Wow! I haven't seen such a hot girl in a long time. Come and have a drink with us?" Just as Lu Mingfei wanted to say something, a few drunk hooligans staggered to Su Enxi's side.
"My buddy is driving a Mercedes-Benz. How about it? Let's go play together, honey?" The fat man in the lead pointed to the car keys on his belt.
"Stay away from me." Su Enxi frowned. The smell of alcohol on the gangster made her feel a little nauseous.
"Wow, it's quite intense! I like it..." The fat man smiled obscenely and stretched out his hand to touch Su Enxi's face.
"Didn't you hear her tell you to get away?" Lu Mingfei turned around and said in a cold tone.
“Where did you come from, this little bastard? How dare you talk to me like that?” The two men next to the fat man rolled up their sleeves and were ready to teach Lu Mingfei a lesson.
However, in just a blink of an eye, Lu Mingfei came close and hit one of the men hard on the nose with his fist. Then he turned over, took advantage of the man covering his nose, hugged him and hit him with his knee.
The man rolled his eyes and fainted. His other companion was not feeling well either. Before he could react, he was attacked violently by Lu Mingfei.
The moves learned in the boxing gym, combined with Professor Chu Zihang's kendo skills, are crisp and deadly, without any delay, and every blow hits the vital points.
Looking at the gangster with blood all over his face, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a sense of brutal pleasure, and his previous irritability was swept away.
In his eyes, time seemed to be stretched out in an instant, and the gangster's awkward punching movements seemed extremely slow in his eyes. He could even hear the sound of fists breaking bones, the sound of elbows hitting the opponent's body and internal organs moving, and the sound of teeth breaking when his knees hit the opponent's chin.
What happened? Those sounds made him feel relaxed and happy. The red color of the blood spit out by the gangster splashing in the air was so beautiful in his eyes. The moment he pressed the gangster to the ground, the pleasure reached the extreme. He thought he could crush this man completely!
"Lu Mingfei! Stop... He's dying..." Su Enxi's voice brought Lu Mingfei back to reality. He looked at his hands in confusion.
What on earth had just happened? How did he become so...bloodthirsty and violent? Lu Mingfei couldn't figure out which one was the real him. He hadn't even dared to kill a chicken before, but at that moment he felt extremely happy.
The fat man was almost sober, frightened awake by the violent Lu Mingfei. He held his two brothers, one in each hand, and crawled away from here.
"Confused?" Su Enxi came to Lu Mingfei, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off his fist.
"Hybrids are half beasts, but you haven't realized it yet. That's why I say... you must live for yourself once, otherwise you will completely turn into a beast without knowing when."
"We are not familiar with each other, and I don't need others to interfere in my affairs." Lu Mingfei pulled his hand away from Su Enxi and was about to leave staggeringly.
"Wait! As a reward for your bravery today, let me tell you something you have always wanted to know..." Su Enxi stopped Lu Mingfei.
"Fenrir is in the subway station. If you go now, you might be able to catch up with your companions. Also... this is for you."
"Thank you..." Lu Mingfei took what Su Enxi threw to him. It was a bus card for Yanjing City. He was a little confused.
"Trust me, you will need it." Su Enxi said.
"I understand." Lu Mingfei put away the bus card, sped up and ran without hesitation. His figure quickly turned into a small dot and disappeared from Su Enxi's sight.
"Potato Chips girl, you seem to be extra talkative today?" When Su Enxi was looking at Lu Mingfei, Jiude Mai appeared behind her at some point, put her arm around her shoulders and spoke.
"Are you really interested in this little guy?"
"Don't give me that. I just think he is very similar to Sanwuniu. Guys like them are really pitiful." Su Enxi sighed.
"I think everyone is enjoying it, right?" Jiude Mai shook her head, denying Su Enxi's statement.
"Who knows... But the guys you brought here are too unprofessional, aren't they? If Lu Mingfei wasn't in a good state, he might have discovered it long ago." Su Enxi said.
"Come on, do you think it's easy to find a guy like this? I have tried my best to give props to the little white rabbit in a reasonable way! You don't even comfort me." Jiude Mai stretched out her hand to Su Enxi's chest angrily.
"Get lost, you nymphomaniac! Now keep an eye on the little white rabbit, and make sure he succeeds in slaying the dragon this time..." Su Enxi slapped away Jiude Mai's mischievous hand and said. "Okay, okay, I'm destined to be a hard worker anyway!" Jiude Mai looked at Su Enxi with resentment and released his hand around her.
Su Enxi stood there thoughtfully. At the moment when Lu Mingfei beat up the gangster, she actually saw the same smile on the boy's face as her boss's.
A very scary idea suddenly appeared in Su Enxi's mind. She shook her head and quickly dispelled the strange idea in her mind.
"If that's the case, it's a bit outrageous. As a worker, you should not try to pry into things that you shouldn't know..."
Su Enxi took a deep breath and followed Jiude Mai. Pretending not to know was the key to saving her life. She knew her boss very well. Although he seemed to care about his subordinates, he was still a devil after all.
If he knew that Su Enxi had noticed something, maybe... he would really be killed.
Liulichang Street, Fenglong Hall.
Hanging on the lintel of the small shop, there is a royal blue cotton curtain at the door. This is almost the deepest part of the alley. Generally, people who collect antiques will never choose to open a shop in such a remote place.
The shop still retains its old paper-covered windows, and the sunlight that comes in is hazy. Countless dust is suspended in the air. The room is filled with large and small tables and wooden boxes, which seem to be quite old. There are also thread-bound books, Tang Sancai, stone inkstones and brush washers. It seems that this shop sells everything, and there is also a bright red wedding dress hanging on the wall.
At first glance, it looks like an old house sealed by dust. No one has stepped into it for decades. Only the dust fairies are dancing in the air. They are the lords here.
But now, two guests came after a long absence. Caesar wore a blue Chinese-style gown with inch-wide white sleeves rolled up, casual pants, and a pair of Beijing-style striped shoes. His bright golden hair was tied into a braid, and his eyes as blue as the sea were looking at the old man in front of him.
This man was a typical European old man, with gray hair and iron-gray eyes. His thin cheeks still showed the handsomeness of his youth. He was wearing a bamboo cloth shirt and was holding two iron walnuts in his hands, playing with them constantly.
"Mr. Lin Fenglong, right?" Caesar asked.
"Mr. Caesar Gattuso? You are really young." Lin Fenglong said with some sigh.
Caesar placed a heavy paper bag in front of him and whispered, "Two hundred thousand dollars for the news you mentioned."
"There are hunters like you who spend money like water." Lin Fenglong smiled with his eyes narrowed.
"It's just money and fun." Caesar shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent.
Lin Fenglong turned around, put his fingers into the cracks of the blue brick wall, pulled out a brick, and reached out to take out a batik blue cloth bag from the hole in the wall. He glanced at Caesar and slowly opened the cloth bag. Inside was a rough-edged paper book, a handwritten copy, which looked quite old, with brittle yellow pages and four black characters "Tianbian Dichao" written on the cover.
"Not far from here, near the Nationalities Palace, there is a lane called Guangcai Hutong. During the Ming Dynasty, it was a place for manufacturing firearms and explosives. At that time, it had another name... Wanggongchang."
"The Wanggongchang Explosion..." Caesar subconsciously mentioned this ancient historical event.
"That's right. Have you ever thought about it? If it was just a firearm explosion, would it really cause damage within a radius of two square kilometers? The explosion killed 20,000 people. Even the emperor at the time had to issue a "Confession of Sins", believing that his actions had angered God." Lin Fenglong smiled.
"This thing will definitely satisfy you." As he spoke, Lin Fenglong handed the booklet in his hand to Caesar.
"I seem to have read this book. You don't think a manuscript that is everywhere is worth 20 yuan, do you?" Caesar raised his eyebrows, obviously disappointed.
"No, no, no, what's important is not the content of the book, but... the location of the dragon veins that have been passed down from the Ming Dynasty to the present, and the map of the Ming Dynasty that I attached." Lin Fenglong shook his head and handed over another folded old kraft paper.
"This seems to be about right..." Caesar nodded with satisfaction. It turned out that the guys who could hang out in the Hunter Forum were not simple.
"Have you found it?" Chen Motong came to meet Caesar as soon as he walked out.
"Well, as expected, he has what I want here. Leave it to me next, Nono... I will definitely kill this Dragon King." Caesar nodded to Chen Motong.
"But I think you might have wasted your money." Chen Motong sighed and handed the phone to Caesar.
Caesar took a look at the post that was suddenly pinned to the top of the Hunter Forum and instantly understood what was going on. He returned the phone to Chen Motong.
"No, I don't think it's a waste of money, otherwise the family wouldn't have specifically used that old guy to give me this information." Caesar said.
His word spirit is Kamaitachi, and his perception is sharper than that of ordinary people even when the word spirit is not activated. He can be sure... there is someone else in that room besides Lin Fenglong.
"What do you mean?" Chen Motong looked at Caesar with a frown on his face. Since he knew it was the family's arrangement, why would he choose to accept it?
"That's right, this information should have been obtained by the family. It must be more accurate than the so-called subway ceremony. Let me think about it... How to determine the location... I understand!" Caesar had a flash of inspiration and quickly turned to look at Chen Motong.
"Is there a subway map? I think I've figured out how to use this book!"
"Here you go..." Chen Motong took out a travel brochure from her bag, which happened to have subway routes printed on it.
While Caesar was flipping through the book, he picked up the subway map and the Ming Dynasty dragon vein map and compared them carefully.
"It's true... the direction of the dragon vein is very similar to the subway map, and their final intersection is... Fenrir should be here!" Pointing to a location, Caesar spoke in a decisive tone.
That location happens to be...Wangfujing subway station!
"Now I should be the one leading. Let's go! As long as we kill Fenrir..." Caesar took Chen Motong's hand and was about to walk out.
Although he didn't finish his words, Chen Motong already understood what he meant. A complex emotion of being touched and relieved surged into her heart. Chen Motong didn't expect that this boy was willing to lower his proud head and accept charity from his family just to be with her.
"What's wrong? Nuonuo?" Seeing Chen Motong stop where he was, Caesar turned around with some confusion.
"Actually, I have something to say to you..." Chen Motong raised his head and looked into Caesar's blue eyes.
"Will you marry me, Caesar?"
