Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

Chapter 326 Extra: Her Royal Highness’s Moscow Strategy (2)

The snow is still falling endlessly in the gray sky, and the wind is carrying the pale white dust swirling endlessly.

Lu Mingfei didn't dare to look at Zero anymore. He looked out the window at the girls standing on the sentry line, carrying Bobo submachine guns and sternly looking at the surroundings with their pretty faces.

They all wore military-standard bearskin hats with a row of pure gold buttons embedded in the brim. Sharp-edged snowflakes were blown into the pavilion by the wind and pressed heavily on their shoulders.

The two girls were lowering their heads and using each other's bodies to block the wind and snow. They pressed the fuse of the sterling silver lighter and the jumping flame helped them light the cigarettes in their mouths.

The oil tank should be filled with aviation fuel with a low freezing point. The winter in Moscow is so cold that it can even help the Slavs resist the German offensive and win the war. Ordinary fuel will solidify if left outside for a long time.

"Look into my eyes, Lu Mingfei, if the person standing here were Chen Motong, Uesugi Eriki, or any one of Jörmungandr, would you still say this?" Zero said coldly. The question was repeated again. She seemed determined not to give up until she achieved her goal, forcing Lu Mingfei to retreat little by little. The flames of the fireplace illuminated the girl's cheeks with a pleasant rosy color.

The music of the old-fashioned gramophone was mixed with the rustling of snow on the windows. La Traviata was still singing about the bygone era. The singing voice was very low and light, but it seemed to change the world occupied by the sound of wind and snow. It was deathly silent. The woman had obviously been dead for hundreds of years, but her soul still remained in the gramophone to sing about that difficult era.

Lu Mingfei was in a daze. He seemed to have heard this song somewhere before. In addition to the singing, there were also the sounds of people dying, crying and laughing, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.

"I will still be ashamed." Lu Mingfei lowered his head to look into Ling's eyes. The pair of white-gold pupils were illuminated by the flames into a magnificent golden color. He carefully held the two slender and slightly cool hands of the girl that originally held his wrist with his backhand. palm.

As expected, men and women are two completely different creatures. Lu Mingfei was only wearing hunting clothes and a cashmere coat, but his body temperature was frighteningly high even in the room with a well-equipped heating system. There was even a thin layer of steam around him.

Ling was clearly dressed similarly to him, but her skin was... as cold as porcelain.

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, then held Ling's two hands together, took a breath of warm air, rubbed them, and then tucked them both under his armpits, as if the warmth from reaching out by a campfire immediately washed over him. Her Royal Highness’s slender and lonely wrist.

Zero tilted his head, a warm reddish glow on his cold white cheeks.

Many people in Kassel College call Zero the Queen of Vacuum. Everyone knows that the famous Miss Renata is a mysophobia. The opposite sex is not allowed to appear within one meter of her, and even the same sex is not allowed to have anything with her. Physical contact. But the former dragon-slaying hero and S-class student Lu Mingfei was the exception among the exceptions. When those boys who mustered up the courage to pursue Zero were lying in the school hospital with broken arms and wailing, Lu Mingfei was eating with Zero. For late-night snacks, they sometimes even shared the same handkerchief.

"Because by doing this, I feel that I have forcibly passed through a lot of the... time that should have been yours, and turned a brand new book to the end. It's like we were reading a story originally, but we only watched the brave man walking out of the Novice Village. , skipping the middle process, and the next page turned is that this guy cut down the devil and rescued the princess and became the winner in life." Lu Mingfei wrinkled his nose and said seriously, "That's so unfair... fate. It’s already very unfair, and I don’t want to be complicit in that thing.”

He weighed every word he said, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sensitive elves in the ice and snow. The next second, the elves dropped snow waves dozens of meters high and submerged the palace and the city together.

Zero slowly opened her eyes. She tilted her head to look at Lu Mingfei's face, as if she wanted to see something different from those dark pupils.

"I know why you helped me." Lu Mingfei blinked, as if he was struggling with what to say. He scratched his hair, sighed, and gave up on uncovering the secrets between the two of them that they were too embarrassed to talk about. , like the kind of feelings that sprouted up a long time ago between adolescent boys and girls.

The falling snow outside is slowly getting smaller, and in the west of Moscow, dim light has begun to shine on the church spiers that have become white after being covered with snow, which means that the sun is rising.

It was dusk at this time, and the snow had abated a little. In the garden, there were girls immediately armed with shovels and started shoveling the snow. One girl who looked very lively even drove a snowplow truck weighing several tons, making a roaring sound. The sound of the engine shattered the silence in this huge building.

Zero suddenly withdrew her hand from Lu Mingfei's armpit. She straightened her clothes, put her hat on properly, and then put her hands on the window sill.

"It's so cold in Moscow in winter." Zero said, looking outside through the cut glass covered with ice crystals. This city is actually far more bleak than many people imagine. Although the buildings on both sides of the empty main roads are still standing safely, the newly painted black paint is still firmly attached after experiencing the cold of dozens of degrees below zero. On the outer walls of those tall buildings, but as long as you are willing to walk into those alleys, you can always see the weakness and exhaustion of this city and even this country.

The eldest son of the Soviet Union is still struggling to maintain the last dignity of the Iron Alliance. This city is so big and solemn, like an ancient emperor who established his throne in the easternmost part of the European continent. Moscow is this throne.

But those who live on the throne are not necessarily happy. Their glorious era has passed. After the boiling blood has cooled down, the city has also cooled down. It now feels like a huge The steel cage imprisons ambition, violence, and the ghost of the great alliance after its death.

"I actually prefer warm places. Someone once said that he would accompany me to the south of China. It is very warm there and there are flowers blooming all year round." Zero said.

"After this matter is over, I will accompany you to China... Do you remember my little fat cousin, and my uncle and aunt? I have reconciled with them, and we can bring some gifts to visit them when we go home together. " Lu Mingfei said.

Zero blinked and looked at the man in front of him carefully.

"Come for a walk with me." Ling's voice was cold and sweet, and he did not respond to Lu Mingfei's invitation. Her little face was cold, her eyelashes were drooped, but her hands were lowered and twisted in front of her lower abdomen, as if she would leave immediately if Lu Mingfei rejected His Highness the Princess.

Lu Mingfei cast his eyes vaguely on the spiral staircase leading to the upper floor in the corner, where Hui Liyi's room was located.

On the first day after Zero brought them here, Eri expressed her dissatisfaction with the room allocation.

She is now very good at taking advantage of her youth and beauty. Many times, just by pouting, Lu Mingfei can satisfy her reasonable or unreasonable requests. Unfortunately, Eriyi picked the wrong person to be cute that day, and Zero just narrowed his eyes. , so he arranged Lu Mingfei's bedroom adjacent to his own room.

It’s not like Lu Mingfei has never visited Eli Yi’s bedroom. According to Ling, Su Enxi sometimes lived in that room. It was in a very luxurious Baroque style. There was a large bronze bathtub in the center of the bedroom. Eli Yi would be reluctant to do so. She stayed here because the bathtub really suited her taste.

"Don't worry, the head of the Uesugi family has been playing video games in the room for twenty-one hours without rest. I asked the housekeeper to prepare hot milk for her. She should have fallen asleep by now." Zero said. Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, wanting to laugh for no reason. I think Ling is really a virtuous girl, but her temperament is too cold, and she is completely different from Sister Su Qian.

At this time, a plain white hand had reached in front of Lu Mingfei. The gesture of that hand seemed to be that Catherine was showing favor to her favorite. Lu Mingfei looked at the sideways face of Her Royal Highness and smiled silently. He said yes, then put his left hand under his chest and tucked Ling's stretched-out wrist into the crook of his arm.
-
There are not many cars on the road, but more pedestrians. The wind has subsided as the snow has stopped, but the leaves and snow on the trees on both sides of the main road will still be blown away and fall, and there are rustlings everywhere. There was a rustling sound, and Lu Mingfei had to open the umbrella he carried with him to cover the falling snow and leaves.

Moscow is brightly lit on a winter night, and there is no place for everyone to go. The family gathers at home to watch TV series. The men blow vodka into the bottle, and the women work on dinner in the kitchen. But there is nothing like this here. Tokyo is so bright and prosperous, with gray-black buildings one after another in the ice and snow, and the wind, snow, and frost are all mixed in between these buildings. The solemn cast iron lamps on both sides of the road are also on and off, obviously in disrepair.

There was already a thick layer of ice on the road, and through the transparent ice, Lu Mingfei could see the slightly undulating stone floor tiles underneath. The old policeman at the corner took off his police hat and put the thing under his arm, frowning and smoking a cigarette. Most of the windows on both sides of the street were lit with warm and dim lights.

Zero shivered slowly, and Lu Mingfei hesitated whether he should reach out and take the girl into his arms, but it was not convenient for him to do this action with the umbrella in his hand.

The soft and delicate body pressed slightly against his body. Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment and squeezed the girl's hand in his arm.

Zero turned his face to the other side and let out a low hum from his nasal cavity.

Lu Mingfei and Ling both knew that their outing for a walk was not as simple as just relaxing. For relaxation, the garden of Elizabeth Palace would be enough.

Zero actually likes him, Lu Mingfei thought. He should have guessed it a long time ago. It was already obvious in the other world, right? Besides liking him, which other girl would be willing to go out for supper with you? Besides liking her, what other girl would be like an angel descending from the sky and lead you through PorUnaCabeza when you are at your worst?

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei became a little shrinking.

Since returning to Moscow, Ling seems to like wearing high heels. This little girl, who could even be said to be underdeveloped in Lu Mingfei's eyes, took her feet out of her leather shoes and stepped into high heels. After leaving her job, her originally petite figure suddenly straightened up. Even at home, Zero is an elegant princess. She sometimes wears only a camel-colored dress. Her tightened belly and puffed-out chest, coupled with the high heels that make her look taller, instantly make her look graceful. , what a stunning girl.

But why didn't he have any evil thoughts when he was in another world? This really didn't fit in with Lu Mingfei's previous character of Brother Pig, who had already made his favor and special treatment almost obvious. Brother Luzhu should jump into Cupid's arms with joy and shout "Hallelujah", but why is he unwilling to stuff Zero's silhouette under the hazy sky into his heart?

When Lu Mingfei was worried, Ling was probably worried too. Now when they were alone together, they always felt an inexplicable sense of alienation and shame. Lu Mingfei attributed this feeling to everything that happened that night.

But fortunately, both of them made a tacit agreement not to mention that matter.

Lu Mingfei didn't speak, so Ling didn't speak either. They walked farther and farther with their backs to the Elizabeth Palace, and there was only the faint sound of the ice on the road and the frozen leaves cracking under their feet.

"I sometimes wonder if we have known each other a long time ago." Lu Mingfei was determined to break the silence. He paused and considered his words and tone, so as not to appear abrupt or strong. Purpose, he said after a few seconds,

"You know that my bloodline is not very stable. I guess this instability has been there since I entered Kassel College to take the 3E exam, but it didn't show up. Chu Zihang told me before that some people are degenerating into Deadpool always saw some hallucinations that he didn't know the meaning of before, but in fact those hallucinations were fragments that they had long forgotten in the depths of their memories. In the process of their bodies being transformed into Deadpool by dragon blood, their The brain is also being remodeled, and old memories that have been covered by new memories are like stones emerging from the water after the tide recedes. "

He hesitated, "In the hallucinations I saw, sometimes there would be a corridor burned by flames, sometimes there would be a group of fighter jets swooping down and pouring bullets, and sometimes it would be a huge black snake... No matter where it is. It’s a kind of hallucination that I always see you appearing in, like a memory from a previous life, or like... something reminding me that I’ve forgotten something very important.”

He wanted to say that Lu Mingze was reminding him, but Lu Mingfei finally stopped this impulse.

Until now, he still didn't know how the little devil contacted the team of Su Enxi, Mai Jiudoku and Zero. Even since the Tokyo War, they had completely lost news about Lu Mingze.

But Lu Mingfei was not sure that the little devil was not dead. When Lu Mingze wanted to do that, he stopped him.

"Memories of past lives?" Zero tilted his head curiously, "Do you also believe in past lives?"

"It's just a rhetorical device." Lu Mingfei scratched his hair. Although he was a little embarrassed, he finally broke the silence between the two people.

"I think it's good to have a past life." Ling said. Lu Mingfei lowered his head and wanted to laugh at the girl's innocence, but suddenly saw the... desolate cloud in her eyes.

"Why?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"You make a contract with one person in your life, and your whole world is him. But after you die, your contract ends, and everyone will forget you in a few years." Zero said seriously,

"If there is an afterlife, the contract that ends at the end of death will never end. You die and are resurrected again, and you will not be alone a hundred times a thousand times. There will always be someone who will stand with you. , Even if the whole world is your enemy, there will still be someone you can trust your back to. "

This sentence is really calm, but there is an unspeakable loneliness hidden in it. It reminds people of the icebergs on the frozen lakes in the far north of Siberia, which never melt and become taller and taller.

But there will come a time when the weight of loneliness will exceed its limit, and when the iceberg collapses, the avalanche will swallow up the entire world.
