"Brother... you seem to have kidnapped tonight's protagonist." Lu Mingze's tone was incomprehensible.

Lu Mingfei looked at the parrot dumbfounded, wondering where his junior sister got such a strange bird.

No... we have to send tonight's protagonist to position C!

…

…

Chu Zihang stopped.

The shadows of fluorescent tubes were reflected on the marble floor. He heard the pouring rain hitting the roof.

The Wangfujing subway station is on the second floor below ground level, and the underground shopping mall of Oriental Plaza is on the first floor below. He is now standing between the steps on the first floor below and the second floor below. Even if it is pouring rain outside, it should not hit the roof above his head.

.

But the sound of rain is still clear to my ears.

There were footsteps of night guards in all directions, but all the footsteps were moving away quickly, as if they were running away from this space.

The fluorescent tubes flickered and the air was filled with the buzzing sound of electricity.

At this moment, the rain began to leak above the head, and the cold rain came from all directions. The roof, the ground, the passageways, the vents, in short, water was poured into it from every place I could think of. The water flowed calmly along the marble floor, changing on the steps.

It turns into a small waterfall.

Chu Zihang wiped the rain off his face, took out the holy sword from his tennis bag, and walked down slowly.

He heard the sound, coming from deep underground, the rails vibrating.

If he guessed correctly, he found the right place.

He came to the platform, the ground was shaking, and dazzling lights were shining out of the deep tunnel.

With the screeching sound of the rails rubbing against each other, the train entered the station and stopped in front of Chu Zihang. The rusty partition doors between the old carriages were slowly being opened, making the sound of rust peeling off.

The train pulled into the station as soon as he arrived, as if it had been waiting for him.

Chu Zihang was silent for a while, then entered the carriage with the holy sword. The door slowly closed behind him, and the train entered the deep tunnel.

It's been a uneventful journey.

The train stopped at the terminal smoothly.

Chu Zihang got off the bus like a normal passenger and stood on the fusiform cement platform, which was as deep into the railway tracks as a trestle entering the sea.

He silently looked up at the prehistoric remnant whose appearance was so ferocious, majestic, and sharp that it was exposed to the world—an ancient dragon that seemed to be integrated into the rock wall.

There are no words to describe his ancient and majestic body. He is obviously a reptile, but far more beautiful than any reptile.

It's just that that kind of beauty is dark beauty, majestic beauty and profound beauty, which is awe-inspiring. The blue-black scales on the whole body open and close in sequence from front to back, making the sound of metal collision, and the face full of bony protrusions looks like a monarch. majesty

But such a great creature now shrank its neck, dug its claws on the ground, and carefully shrank into a corner. He lowered his head until it was almost touching the ground, looked at Chu Zihang warily, and let out a low roar in his throat.

It's like a guard dog watching out for any outsiders.

"You..." Gu Long spoke, his voice was low and majestic, but his eyes were extremely cautious, "Are you my sister's friend?"

elder sister?

Chu Zihang suddenly remembered the life experience that Xia Mi once described to him on the train.

During that experience, she had a silly brother and a pair of parents, but later it was confirmed that most of this was a lie, but some things seemed to be true. She really had a "silly brother" who liked to call her sister. .

That girl is like this ancient dragon, careful and vigilant when facing anyone, and introduces herself by mixing her true self into false lies.

She doesn't dare to be completely heart-to-heart with others, but she longs to communicate with them.

"Here you go." Long fiercely waved his membrane wings, and a blue bag fell between him and Chu Zihang.

That's a bag of potato chips.

"Sister said that when guests come, you should entertain them. Potato chips are the most delicious thing in the world. I will entertain you."

Long was still staring at Chu Zihang cautiously.

Chu Zihang hesitated for a moment, then leaned over to pick up the bag of potato chips and nodded to Long to thank him.

As if he sensed that he meant no harm, or perhaps because he accepted his gift, Gu Long's vigilant eyes gradually relaxed, replaced by curiosity.

He curiously looked back and forth at Chu Zihang from all angles, just like a child who had never seen the world at home meeting a friend from a foreign country, curiously observing his blond hair and blue eyes.

"You have the mark of your sister on your body. Has your sister come back with you?" Gu Long asked cautiously.

Chu Zihang looked at this prehistoric beast.

It is 30 or 40 meters long, but this is not the full length. Only the front half of the dragon's body is exposed, while the back half is integrated with the rock wall.

To be precise, this dragon was still in the form of a skeleton for the rest of its life. The thick vertebrae gradually petrified from front to back, and finally connected with the stone wall. This thing was like a legendary undead creature, half of its body showing the appearance of survival, and the other half showing the appearance of death.

The appearance, life and death are cleverly integrated into one, which seems to have some mysterious religious significance.

But this cute tone...

I wonder if anyone is over five years old?

"Sister hasn't come back yet, let's... watch TV."

He actually took out a TV, an 18-inch old-fashioned color TV, and a heavy large square box. It was obviously one of his important toys. He handled it with care and was extremely careful when connecting the power supply with the wing tip.

The light from the screen illuminated the black dragon scales, and the dragon placed its lower jaw on the platform.

Chu Zihang was a little confused and relieved. Sure enough, most of the dragon clan were so naive. No wonder they would be overthrown.

The dragon suddenly roared majestically, spread its black wings, and raised its front legs. He stood up, and the golden boy shrank tightly, staring unblinkingly into the dark tunnel behind Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang's heart moved when he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the tunnel.

Sure enough, the girl walked out of the darkness in a white dress, like a shimmering unicorn in a fairy tale.

Seeing that the girl he wanted to see actually appeared in front of him, Chu Zihang clenched the sword in his hand, and the blood burst silently.

The bloodline is further purified, high-pressure blood flow washes through the body, and incredible subtle changes penetrate into every cell.

Power as rich as wine flows through the blood vessels. Even though he knows that this is a taboo technique that shortens his life, he is still intoxicated by this unparalleled power. His extremely tired heart beats like a war drum again, squeezing out the dragon's hot blood.

His body surface was instantly covered with thin blue-grey scales, the joints in his hands swelled, and the facial bones protruded. The golden boy seemed to be burning. The thin scales on his body opened and closed, and the knotted muscles protruded like iron tendons.

At this moment, he is no longer human.

Only when they have the appearance of dragons do hybrids have the strength to compete with pure-blood dragons.

…

... Are you so impatient? You don’t even say a word?

…

The last trace of smile disappeared from the girl's face.

Her eyes were dark, like those dark corners that could never be bathed in sunlight throughout their lives.

The same change appeared in her, more completely than Chu Zihang's.

The sharp scales slowly expanded, and the scales that pierced the skin and spit out the girl's white dress were torn into pieces, as if her last dream was shattered.

There was only silence in her childish eyes.

She hissed the language of Gu'ao, and a brand new spirit of speech was inspired, and the field expanded rapidly. Strong ionization and magnetization effects appeared in the field, the rails melted, and the metal droplets were suspended, rotating around Jörmungandr.

Those bright droplets continue to collide and burn, the impurities turn into ashes and fall, and the remaining droplets become brighter and brighter.

Chu Zihang's "Junyan" also burned, and his territory also continued to expand.

A layer of air can be clearly seen at the edge of the contact between the two realms, with hundreds of thousands of volts of white-purple static electricity and thousands of degrees of black fire snakes swimming on it. The bright places are blindingly bright, and the dark places are like black holes.

They said nothing and seemed to be facing each other, staring at each other silently and coldly.

Both sides kicked off the ground at the same time, and the dragon's unique reverse-bent knee joints exploded with extraordinary force, and their figures disappeared at high speed.

then.

The battle ended in an instant.

Chu Zihang allowed the sharp dragon claws to pierce his heart, and just stretched out his arms to hug the girl who crashed into his arms. His chin rested gently and naturally on the girl's head, and the familiar fragrance filled his nostrils.

"...won't you resist?"

"I promised you that I would win. I'm sorry that I missed my promise last time."

"...Well, you are about to die. Do you have anything else to say before you die?" The girl lay in his arms and whispered softly, just like a girl in a Chicago train station begging for a wealthy man.

"Yes. I bought a house in my hometown. I installed two swing chairs on the balcony. I also installed the smart home system you like. I hope you can come."

"...You really can't even lie to a girl. That company has obviously booked appointments until next year. Or are you using money to pave the way again? Money can't buy the girl you like."

The girl whispered in his ear with a helpless tone. This helplessness was not only for the boy, but also for herself.

It was obviously such a clumsy lie, but why was he still shaken?

In the library that afternoon, the girl suddenly said that she was interested in a customized smart home system. She was really trying to build her own home. She invited the boy to accompany her and help her check it.

The boy agreed, but later the girl discovered that she seemed to have no chance of realizing it in her life.
