Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before Dragon Slaying

"Actually, I want to come to you." Kazama Liuli smiled, "I told Xiaomu that my brother must be having a headache during this period. If it's because of official business, I shouldn't cause you any trouble during this period."

Yuan Zhisheng was silent. He couldn't refute, because Kazama Ruri was right. Kazama Ruri hadn't met with him in the past few days except for meetings. As the leaders of the two major underworld organizations in Japan, they were very busy these days, but Even so, Kazama Ruri could guess Yuan Zhisheng's state. This younger brother was definitely the person who knew him best.

"There are about ten people waiting to see you outside the door of Xingshen Temple." Fengjian Liuli said softly, "But I have already asked them to leave."

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned, as if he did not expect that Fengjian Liuli would do such a thing for him, which made Yuan Zhisheng feel at a loss for a moment.

"Anyway, you will send them away when they come, right? Brother, your original intention is not to see them." Kazama Liuli said, "Besides, you are already so tired. Compared with dealing with those people who don't care, brother What you need more now is rest."

"There are always things that cannot be avoided." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head slowly, "You can't feel at ease until the most important things are taken care of."

"I think the most important thing you are talking about, brother, is not referring to the Snake Qiba family itself or the matters with the Fierce Ghosts and Kassel Academy, right?" Kazama Liuli said softly, "Brother is worried. , is it about Eri Yi?"

Yuan Zhisheng was completely stunned. He turned his head and looked at Fengjian Liuli's face in disbelief, as if he couldn't understand why the other party suddenly asked such a guess.

"If it was just because of family matters, you would feel tired and tired at most, but I see worry on your face, brother. If it weren't for the people close to you, brother, you wouldn't have such a look." As he said that, Kazama Liuli leaned down and gently opened the Yanliu Research Institute's approval sheet covered by Yuan Zhisheng on the chopping board, revealing a scrawled design drawing of a doll.

Yuan Zhisheng's face changed. He was surprised that his younger brother could understand him to this extent and could see through all his thoughts. At the same time, he felt ashamed because his thoughts were seen... The reason for shame was precisely Because of the design drawing on the desk.

In fact, when the old priest, the leader of the Kanto branch, and the ninjas from the Fuma family came to visit, Minamoto took out the documents of each ministry and put them in front of him. In addition to pretending that it was a family matter and doing everything he could to deal with them leaving early, Another part of the reason is that they are afraid of them seeing this blueprint.

Because this picture was drawn by Yuan Zhisheng himself... but the painter was miserable even to himself.

"Is this a character designed by you yourself, brother?" Kazama Ruri asked softly, "Is it for Eri Yi?"

"It was originally intended to be used at Eri Yi's wedding." Now that it had been seen, Yuan Zhisheng simply admitted it openly.

Eriyi mentioned to Minamoto Zhisheng several times before that the friends she fantasized about include white cats with rabbit ears, broad-eared foxes with butterfly wings, and tortoise-shell swirly chinchillas... Different from Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh and Tom Cat, they are good friends that all children know, but lonely children always want to have friends that belong only to themselves, so Eriki imagined these special creatures because they are her own They are imagined, so they are your unique best friends and no one can take them away.

In the past, Yuan Zhisheng didn't pay much attention when Eryi talked about it, because he only regarded it as something to pass the time when Eryi was bored, but later when Yuan Zhisheng heard Lu Mingfei talk about the story in the dream, Yuan Zhisheng Minamoto discovered that this was not the case. For Eri, a girl with an extremely poor spiritual world, these imaginary friends were already a rare spiritual sustenance for her. Minamoto felt that she owed this sister too much. Recently, he racked his brains to recall these things and wanted to surprise Eriki on the most important day. This was the most thoughtful compensation he could think of.

He spent a whole morning on this, but only drew a few rough prototypes...perhaps not even prototypes. The animal friends in Eryi's fantasy should all be in a cute and healing style, but Yuan Zhisheng's paintings Feng is closer to the ferocious and novelty-seeking type. Yuan Zhisheng feels that he can't design the look that Eliyi wants, so he is anxious.

Kazama Ruri is right, Yuan Zhisheng is not a mediocre person who will be troubled by the complicated and trivial matters of the family, but his dear sister has a completely different meaning to him. Yuan Zhisheng can also carry big things on his shoulders. He frowned without even frowning, but he would feel incompetent if he couldn't meet Eri's expectations, even though he was now a man who could hold up the entire Japanese underworld on one shoulder.

"But it can't be put to use. It's far from the expected effect." Yuan Zhisheng took a deep breath and shook his head in disappointment, "I admit, I don't have any talent in this area. You can laugh if you want, little girl. Laugh."

"Why are you laughing?" Kazama Ruri's next words were beyond Yuan Zhisheng's expectation, "I think brother, although your paintings are a bit abstract... they still have a sense of design."

"It has a sense of... design?" Yuan Zhisheng was startled.

"Yes, brother, although the lines and expressions you use are very simple, and there is no skill at all, the meaning you want to express is very straightforward and clear at a glance." Kazama Ruri nodded, "It's just that the painting is not beautiful. , but everyone can understand the core of these words, so I say it has a sense of design."

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned. At first, he thought the other party was making fun of him, but Kazama Ruri's expression looked very serious, and he analyzed Yuan Zhisheng's words from a very professional and rigorous perspective. It didn't sound like he was making fun of him. He was joking, but it didn't look like he was teasing him with irony.

"Young girl, do you really understand these paintings?" Yuan Zhisheng asked tentatively.

"Yes." Kazama Ruri nodded, pointing to a creature with rabbit ears and a long tail, "Hyena, right? I know, I saw it in the 'Animal World' shown in school when I was a kid. It likes to eat carrion. He has quite a fierce personality.”

Yuan Zhisheng's face instantly drooped, and several black lines appeared on his forehead. "You're kidding, I can understand these paintings." Kazama Liuli smiled and looked at the black lines on the paper, "The cat has rabbit ears, the fox has butterfly wings, and the chinchilla has strange Pattern...right?"

"I actually understand everything!" Yuan Zhi was incredulous, because even he himself was extremely unsure of his own painting skills.

"I was born to be good at acting. Have you forgotten, brother? What acting requires is empathy and a sense of empathy. Only when you completely immerse yourself in a certain role can your acting be enough to resonate with the audience." Kazama Ruri said softly. Said, "I can imagine a lonely girl in a completely closed world, looking forward to someone to accompany her... It doesn't need to be a person, as long as it is a special friend, everyone longs for their own special friend. , it seems that only in this way can we not feel that life is too empty."

Yuan Zhisheng was silent. Indeed, his brother was much better than him in this aspect of empathy. He was born with an aloof and self-centered character, but Zhisheng was different. The boy was delicate and soft, like water, good at capturing others. The emotions can truly enter the inner world of others.

Inexplicably, Yuan Zhisheng thought of the woman named "Miyamoto Noyuki" who was killed by him. That woman spent her last moment touching the last bit of sunshine in her life... Yuan Zhisheng thought about that woman's life. And the way he looked when he died in his own hands, at this moment he seemed to be able to understand Miyamoto Noyuki, and also understand Eri.

"Because Eri is also a 'ghost', but she is easier to control than other 'ghosts'." Kazama Ruri smiled, "But in the end we are all the same thing. We are afraid of loneliness and have to face loneliness. Maybe we were born with this fate, so when I was a kid, brother, you always said that I was sentimental and would cry easily."

"Actually, when I was a child, I also fantasized about this kind of friend, but my fantasy was more concrete than Eriki's, because my world is a little bigger than hers." Ruri Kazama's eyes were full of reminiscence, and he said softly. , "My friends are a Pegasus with huge wings, it has silver scales on its body, and a horn on its head, and a polar bear that is as tall as two people. Its fur is very soft and thick, and it has red eyes. In fact, there are also helicopters that can transform. Because brother, you stole the ranger’s helicopter and took me out once. That night I had a dream, and I dreamed that the helicopter turned into a tall robot, taller than the century-old trees in the forest. …”

Yuan Zhisheng looked at his younger brother's face in astonishment. At this moment, he finally understood why Fengjian Liuli could understand his paintings at a glance. In fact, Fengjian Liuli understood Eriyi's thoughts. At the same time, Yuan Zhisheng's heart He also felt guilty. At this moment, he deeply realized that he was not really a qualified brother. As he said himself, he was too arrogant and too self-centered. He did not have the delicate empathy ability of Minamoto and Eri. Because of Yi's keen perception, he owed not only Eri Yi, but also Minamoto Girl.

"Brother, it's normal that you don't understand, because you are Amaterasu and are born to live in the sun." Kazama Liuli said softly, "Even if you are lonely, you will be lonely and very self-centered, so I have always envied you, but I can’t be you.”

"You don't need to be anyone, little girl, and I'm not worthy of your envy." Minamoto said in a low voice, "No one can escape loneliness, not just you and Eri, in fact, I also fantasize Yes, special friend."

This time it was Kazama Ruri's turn to be stunned.

"When I was a child, I loved watching Ultraman. You may not remember, because I never showed it in front of you. I also secretly bought an Ultraman toy with my lunch money. It was called Ultraman Shikali. It means light. The blue paint is very special among the red Ultraman. The strongest weapon is the knight lightsaber." Yuan Zhisheng whispered an unknown past, "I thought Xi Ultraman Kali is my most special friend, but one day I found that all the children in the class were discussing it. Someone took out a toy that was exactly the same as mine. At that moment, I didn’t seem to like it so much. It was painted blue. It didn't seem that beautiful, because it was not just my friend. When I went back in the evening, I used the paint I brought from school to turn its paint into purple, and folded his knight's lightsaber into a strange shape. "

Fengjian Liuli was very surprised, because he really didn't know about this. It turned out that his always proud brother had such an unknown side.

"Before leaving the town, I hid Ultraman Hikari in the small hole on the side of the house. Do you remember, we used to raise an injured tit there." Yuan Zhisheng said, "Meet you again. I went to check it out that day. To my surprise, Ultraman was still there. The paint I painted had faded, and the original blue paint had become very mottled. The knight's lightsaber had been completely broken. Later, I kept it with me and put it in the bottom of my drawer when I got home.”

"I'm surprised." Kazama Liuli sighed, "I never thought that brother you still have such a side."

"If these things hadn't happened recently, maybe I wouldn't have realized it in my life." Yuan Zhisheng paused, "Maybe I have realized it, but I have been unwilling to admit it."

"What made you change?" Kazama Liuli asked.

"It was my father who enlightened me. At his ramen stall, I realized that there are many things in this world that are more important than so-called responsibilities and positions." Yuan Zhisheng said, "The people you care about, and the people who care about you."

"As long as you have this heart, what else do you need to worry about? I believe Eriyi can feel your heart." Kazama Ruri said.

"There's no way I could give these terrible paintings to Hui Liyi at her wedding and tell her that these are my feelings, right?" Yuan Zhisheng spread out the design drawings.

"Is this going to be made?" Kazama Ruri said, "Can I try it? I think I roughly understand the idea of ​​Eriyi. It just so happens that I don't know how to express my joy, so I talked to her No more than ten sentences.”

Yuan Zhisheng gave up his position, and Fengjian Liuli leaned over the desk. The twisted and ferocious lines originally drawn by Yuan Zhisheng gradually became softer and smoother under Fengjian Liuli's pen. An ordinary pencil was in his hand. It seemed that it had become a tool for painting dreams. Looking at this miraculous painting technique, Yuan Zhisheng's eyes widened in disbelief... Yuan Zhisheng suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he was better than Yuan Zhisheng in every subject. Including sports, but only in art and vocal music, Minamoto Young Girl gets perfect scores every time without exception.

Ten minutes later, Fengjian Liuli finished writing. He took the greatly changed design and pushed it in front of Yuan Zhisheng: "Is this all right?"

Gen Zhisheng was dumbfounded. He had to wonder whether the brother and sister Minamoto Zhisheng and Eri Yi had a spiritual connection, because the scene that Eri Yi once told him was perfectly engraved on the paper by Kazama Ruri... Yuan Zhisheng didn't think that his poor and messy threads would be of much help.
