Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before Dragon Slaying

"I found it." Lu Mingfei looked into Ling's eyes and said.

"What... did you find?" Ling was a little confused by Lu Mingfei's sudden actions and words, she stumbled and said.

"Ling, what do you think of me?" Lu Mingfei asked Xiang Ling.

"You...you...you..." Zero was stunned, her expression was a little unnatural, and her eyes began to dodge towards Lu Mingfei, seeming to have misunderstood the original intention of Lu Mingfei's question.

"Don't get me wrong, Ling, I'm asking about my appearance." Lu Mingfei pointed to his face, "I mean, in your eyes, what do I look like? You can describe me. What?"

"Oh oh oh...what does it look like?" Ling finally realized. She looked at Lu Mingfei's face carefully and said, "The eyes, nose, and mouth are quite correct, but together they seem a bit... ordinary?"

"I didn't mean to say you're not good-looking." Ling quickly said. She was afraid that Lu Mingfei would be hurt by her words. "It's just that you are an Oriental. I don't know much about the appearance characteristics of Orientals. Maybe you are in your culture." Very handsome in his aesthetic."

"I'm not worrying about whether my appearance is ordinary or not. Anyway, I've been told that since I was a child, and I'm used to it." Lu Mingfei waved his hand at Ling, indicating that the knife would not hurt him, "I'm just asking this question. I want to know if I have a concrete image in your eyes. If you can see a specific me and have an impression of me, then I think I have found what is wrong with this world."

"What's wrong with this world...is there something wrong with your appearance?" Zero asked this question and thought it was a bit strange to say this.

Lu Mingfei shook his head slowly. He did not answer Zero immediately, but leaned down and touched the black snake under his feet.

The black snake seemed to be inspired by Lu Mingfei. It raised its head and looked at Lu Mingfei with its huge golden eyes.

"The most fundamental mistake in this world is right here." Lu Mingfei pointed at Black Snake's pupils and said to Zero in a meaningful tone, as if he was revealing the world's biggest secret to Zero.

Ling lowered her head and looked at Black Snake's golden eyes in the direction of Lu Mingfei's finger. Ling frowned slightly. She failed to understand what Lu Mingfei's words meant. She thought Lu Mingfei said that the world was the most beautiful. The original mistake was this black snake. This snake was indeed incredibly big, but apart from its huge size and golden pupils, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

Zero looked at Lu Mingfei again. She was sure that Lu Mingfei was pointing at the black snake under his feet... To be precise, Lu Mingfei was pointing at the pupils of the black snake, but those golden pupils were not only mysterious and magnificent. Zero also looked at them again. Nothing more, pale golden glass body, bright golden pupils, dark golden lens, these huge pool-like pupils reflected the dark red clouds in the sky, the snow-covered sky of Siberia and the endless icebergs. The black sea, including Zero's own figure, was reflected in it...

No, suddenly there was a strange feeling in Zero's heart. This feeling was as if the human subconscious had noticed something that was against common sense, but the brain had not yet realized where this contrary to common sense occurred. Zero squatted down Putting her body close to the black snake's pupils, she began to carefully examine the scenery reflected in the black snake's pupils...

The sky, distant mountains, flying snow, the sea, and herself... The sky, distant mountains, flying snow, the sea, and herself...

For a moment, Zero seemed to finally realize something. At the same time, a huge strange feeling exploded in her heart. Zero stared at the black snake's pupils, looking at the pair of mirrors that reflected the whole world. She went back and forth. She stared at it several times, seemingly trying to find something in Black Snake's pupils, but it could be seen from her increasingly widened pupils that she failed to see what she wanted to see.

Zero also noticed what Lu Mingfei said was the most fundamental mistake in the world.

Ling raised her head and looked at Lu Mingfei with extremely complicated eyes. She didn't know whether it was because she felt that the boy she was familiar with had become a stranger, or because she felt that she had discovered some terrible secret about Lu Mingfei.

"If something goes wrong in this world, then I am the biggest mistake in this world." Lu Mingfei said, "But Zero said that people who don't even trust themselves will eventually lose everything and would rather doubt the whole world. Don’t doubt yourself either… Now I don’t think that I am false, so there must be something wrong with the world.”

Lu Mingfei and Ling stood side by side. The black snake still maintained its posture of looking up at the sky. In its pair of golden pupils like amber, the whole world was reflected in them... But there was no Lu Mingfei.

Everything in this world can be seen in the reflection of the black snake's pupils. The clouds in the sky are flowing, the cold snow whizzes through the towering mountain cones, and the huge icebergs floating from the polar regions are suspended in the sea. This Everything in the world seemed extremely real... But strangely, there was no one beside Zero. In the reflection of the black snake's pupils, Lu Mingfei, standing side by side with Zero, could not be seen at all.

That's why Ling feels so creepy and weird, because in the real world, she can clearly see Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei's words and deeds, including every move he makes, are so real... But it's just From her subjective perspective, in the objective reflection of the world, it seems that Lu Mingfei does not exist at all.

"Not only in Black Snake's vision, but also in your eyes, there is no shadow of me. I just approached you just to take a closer look at your pupils to verify this." Lu Mingfei whispered to Zero, "In other words In other words, I only exist in all the subjective consciousness of this world. You can feel my existence, the nurses can see and touch me, and the same is true for Dr. Herzog, but my existence is not objective. In fact, if you carefully Observation will reveal that there is no reflection of me in your eyes, neither you nor Black Snake."

"Actually, I should have discovered it a long time ago. Those nurses should not be able to see my shadow in their eyes. It's just that I haven't paid attention to this. Moreover, Ward Zero is too dark, and many truths are hidden in the darkness. ." Lu Mingfei pointed to the snow-capped mountains at his feet and in the distance, and said softly, "It should be very clear if you look at it this way. On a full moon night, No. [-] is really careful. This desolate Siberian seaport is probably only today. Only then can I see such a bright moon.”

Under the reflection of the moon, Ling's feet gathered her shadow on the black snake's head, but Lu Mingfei's feet could not see his shadow. Following the direction of Lu Mingfei's finger, the snow-capped mountains in the distance reached the sky. The shadow of the giant snake hovering on the top of the ice cliff was clearly visible. Above the giant snake's head, Renata's shadow looked lonely and thin, because Lu Mingfei's figure beside her was not projected on the snow-capped mountains.

As Lu Mingfei said himself, he only exists in the subjective consciousness of people in this world, and his shadow cannot be reflected in anything that can objectively reflect the state of things.

"If I had the chance to come outside earlier, I should have discovered this earlier." Lu Mingfei immediately shook his head, "But it is unrealistic to say that, after all, I forgot everything at that time, the nurses It’s impossible to release me from Ward Zero.”

"But why 'Doctor'?" Zero couldn't help but asked the doubt in his heart, "For you, is 'Doctor' a special person? Only when you see 'Doctor' can you remember everything."

"Of course it's special, Dr. Herzog." Lu Mingfei whispered, "Jung von Herzog...he was the one who killed me." "Kill you?" Zero was stunned. .

"Yes, I was killed by Herzog. He drained all my blood for his ambition." Lu Mingfei said, "But I was killed by him voluntarily."

"All the blood has been drained from the whole body... It must be very painful, right?" Zero's little face wrinkled.

Lu Mingfei was startled. He originally thought that Zero would be curious about why he volunteered to be killed by Herzog, but Zero didn't ask this question at all. Her first concern was that Lu Mingfei was drained of his body. Is the blood painful?

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and smiled at Ling: "It hurts a little, but I have to do it. This is my responsibility and my mission. This is the best way I can think of." , otherwise many people I care about will die on my behalf."

"But if a person dies, doesn't he lose everything?" Zero asked puzzledly.

"Maybe, but I am surrounded by fools like this, fools who will die for something. These things can be friends, lovers, inner justice, or irreparable regrets." Lu Mingfei smiled. He smiled and said, "But I am special. Isn't it just because Zero wants to find a way to revive me that I appear here?"

"One day you will have something you are willing to die for, but don't take your life seriously just because of these things." Lu Mingfei reached out and touched Ling's head, and he said softly to Ling, " Don't be in a hurry to die, little queen, life is still a beautiful thing, if you die, those who care about you will be very sad."

Zero nodded in understanding.

"Do you still want to continue watching the scenery?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"No need, I've seen a lot today." Ling shook her head and asked Lu Mingfei, "Are you going to find the 'Doctor'?"

"It's getting late." Lu Mingfei lowered his body, patted Black Snake's head, and said to Black Snake, "Let's go, take us back."

The black snake let out a roar of joy, and the layers of snow on the mountain collapsed. It twisted around its body at the top of the snow mountain and twisted at high speed. Its iron-like black scales left deep winding traces on the snow road. The cold wind blew across the faces of Lu Mingfei and Ling. Ling's little face had been turned red by the cold. Lu Mingfei stood in front of Ling, using his body to protect her from the wind and snow.

The black snake's body landed on the ice field. It ran over the dead soldiers, and its dark scales were dyed with the color of blood. Zero looked at the devastation, closed his eyes, and clasped his hands in front of his chest to pray for the dead soldiers. They prayed silently.

"Just come here and protect Zero." Approaching the dilapidated dome building, Lu Mingfei patted the black snake's body and made it stop in front of the building.

"Just stay here. You don't know what will happen if you go forward. It might be dangerous." Lu Mingfei said to Ling, "Let the black snake protect you."

"I'll go with you." Ling said to Lu Mingfei, as if she was particularly stubborn on this matter, "That's where I've been living, and you're my friend. I can't stand here and look at you. go alone."

Lu Mingfei was stunned. After thinking for a moment, he nodded, but he reminded Zero emphatically: "Okay, but you follow me. If there is danger or a situation that threatens your life, Be sure to stay away and remember, your first priority must be your own safety."

"I understand." Ling nodded to Lu Mingfei.

"Let's go." Lu Mingfei nodded and walked towards the dilapidated building.

Lu Mingfei walked in front, and Ling followed him. Ling took out a teddy bear doll from his loose clothes and held it in his arms.

This teddy bear is "Zorro". Zero has been carrying it with him, hiding it in his clothes. Only then did he reveal "Zorro".

Before meeting Zero and Lu Mingfei, "Zorro" was Zero's only friend. The girl named Renata at that time specially named her only friend a hero. Before she went to bed when she was a child, her father Her mother often told her the story of the hero "Zorro". "Zorro" was a ranger who was active in the West in the 19th century. He had a strong sense of justice and high military strength. He would not hesitate when encountering injustice. When the bad guys hear the name "Zorro", they will be frightened and run away in panic. People who have been helped by "Zorro" can't help but praise him.

Zero named the little bear "Zorro" because she hoped that "Zorro" could protect her and accompany her. Her best friend is a hero. When she needs help, "Zorro" will appear in front of her. Help her solve all dangers.

The iron gate of the building had collapsed. Lu Mingfei stepped over the threshold. The piercing alarm sound beside the gate kept ringing, but no one came to stop Lu Mingfei and Ling. Almost all the soldiers at the port were hacked. The snake was killed, the nurses were gone, and the whole building seemed deserted.

Lu Mingfei has been locked up in Ward Zero, and Zero has never been to the first floor of this building. The first floor looks like an impregnable prison, with the ground and walls all made of hard metal. The flames burned on the upper floor, but the temperature spread to this floor. Lu Mingfei and Ling stepped on the metal floor and could feel the scorching heat coming from their feet. The temperature in the air was even duller than that in the sauna room, like Place in a hot oven.

Lu Mingfei and Ling shuttled through the long corridor. It was the first time for them to get a glimpse of the building from such a perspective. Surveillance probes and infrared security systems could be seen everywhere.
