Five years old Lu Mingfei

Chapter 128: One Hundred and Twenty Five. Alas, Alas
The room, which was reinforced with a 20-centimeter-thick metal door, was opened, and it looked like he had released the monster from Pandora's box.

“If you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, probably no one would believe that the Tsukuyomi that the Eight Snake Clans rely on is actually a girl who looks harmless on the surface.” A faint voice sounded behind Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei shrugged and did not answer.

Lu Mingzi, who was holding her chin on the side, was still smiling. Her white fingertips pointed at Eri, who was looking at him with clear eyes in the time stop: "But, this is the first time I see you being so gentle to a girl at this time, is it because you like her?"

“…Like?” Lu Mingfei repeated the two words slowly as if he was chewing the taste.

Then, he suddenly smiled and mentioned something unrelated: "Do you know The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya?"

Lu Mingzi raised his white face thoughtfully: "I remember it was the anime that featured your favorite 2D beautiful girl, Senior Asahina Mikuru."

Lu Mingfei nodded first and then shook his head: "You're half right. To be honest, I don't like anyone. It's just that compared to the heroine Suzumiya Haruhi, Asahina-senpai is more likable..."

He said with an interested tone: "In this anime, Haruhi Suzumiya is the god of the entire world. When she is unhappy, the weather will become gloomy, and when she feels bored, the world will be destroyed. She will definitely achieve what she wants to do, even if it goes against common sense. Therefore, in order to maintain world peace, everyone must accommodate and tolerate her willfulness..."

He raised a finger: "Hey, someone will say it soon. Isn't this the same as you, Lu Mingfei? Don't say it, don't say it. I twisted my neck 360 degrees to the right and went straight into the Jurassic period. Let's watch the Dragon King use the four elements to clean the ground and create a beautiful world where everyone can sleep for 24 hours a day..."

Lu Mingzi raised his hand and said, “Although, brother, no matter how many times you twist your neck, you won’t die. Besides, even if we both ruled the earth, it’s a bit insulting to compare low-level reptiles like dinosaurs with dragons…”

Lu Mingfei gave a short laugh as a response to her joke, even though there was no smile on his face. He continued, “So I said, only now can I feel what I have done, and only now can I temporarily get rid of the stigma of cowardice and incompetence, and feel that the word protagonist is not an irony…”

He narrowed his eyes, stared into space, and muttered to someone unknown, "If I can really change everything that is not my wish, even if I suffer in hell for eternity after death and reincarnate as a beast countless times... it will be worth it."

“But then again, when a person dies, he is dead. The Eighteen Levels of Hell don’t exist no matter how you think about it. Otherwise, how come Kobe hasn’t won a resurrection match for several years? I should have missed a point…” Lu Mingfei said with a look of regret on his face.

When he reopened his eyes, he was suddenly startled, because Lu Mingzi had come very close to him without him noticing.

At an almost touching distance, the tip of her small nose vaguely touched Lu Mingfei's nose bridge, and her golden pupils stared fixedly into his eyes.

Her voice was terrifyingly low. "If there really is a hell after death, I will expose the body of the priest who dared to sentence my brother to a crime in the wilderness, let the vultures peck at his flesh and blood, let the hyenas lick his bone marrow, let him not die for thousands of years, and let him regret his foolish behavior until the last moment!"

The next second, Lu Mingzi smiled brightly again: "It is the world's duty to fulfill my brother's wish. How dare it ask for a price for it?"

“…” For some reason, Lu Mingfei turned his face away so that no one could see his expression. He smiled jokingly and said, “…Stop saying these inexplicable things. Who do you think you are to me?”

"I'm my brother's only sister." She still had a faint smile on her face.

She spoke as if it were a matter of course.

Then, Lu Mingfei suddenly turned back from the shadows, his face no longer able to hide the gloom, his eyes flashing with a cold and sinister light that seemed to be ready to devour anyone: "...I never know where you get the qualifications to call yourself my relative!"

He said coldly: "...Before all my identities, I am first Lu Mingfei, but to you, what is Lu Mingfei? The skin of the Dragon King? Or a name that is completely irrelevant? After Norton was resurrected, Old Tang became a part of his memory. Then after the Black King was resurrected, what about Lu Mingfei? Disappeared in one ten-thousandth of the scale?!"

Lu Mingzi did not answer.

She gently grabbed Lu Mingfei's hand.

Lu Mingfei frowned, but did not resist and let her do what she wanted.

She grabbed Lu Mingfei's hands and pinched her thin white neck.

"Maybe I'm really not qualified, but fortunately there is still a way to prove myself." She kept smiling with difficulty as her face gradually lost color.

Lu Mingfei stared at her long eyelashes that fluttered like butterfly wings, and said in a hoarse and low voice: "...Then I will satisfy you."

He used all his strength, veins on his hands bulged, his expression became ferocious, and he hysterically wanted to kill the person in front of him.

But even so, Lu Mingzi's expression did not change at all. She even reached out and gently stroked his cheek, as if she wanted to wipe away the hatred and resentment that was engraved in his heart.

"...Hehe, my brother should be like this..." She spoke intermittently, her golden pupils flickering, and her obsessed look almost overflowing.

She held Lu Mingfei's face, tears falling from the corners of her eyes, her voice like a dream: "...tyrannical, crazy, cruel, inhuman... any word is fine, as long as it can fill that empty 'heart'... hehe, why not?"

The swan-like slender and white neck had already been bruised. As long as Lu Mingfei continued to exert force and tightened his hand by one centimeter, he would be able to strangle it and vent all the anger in his heart.

But he slowly loosened his grip, and the anger on his face disappeared without a trace as if it had never appeared.

Lu Mingfei shook his hands: "...Think about it carefully, it's actually useless for me to strangle your neck. After all, this is just an illusion..."

"Besides, there's no need for that. Anyway, your life will only benefit me. As for the issue of identity, I don't really care. If I really die one day, what will the world become have nothing to do with me."

“…That’s really a pity…” Lu Mingzi touched the scar on his neck, not knowing what he was regretting.

She smiled softly and said, "…So, did I make my brother feel better?"

Lu Mingfei yawned: "For something as boring as that, the outcome doesn't matter..."

She pressed on: "If I do well, brother, can you say you like me?"

“…Do you know that you are annoying…” Although he said this, there was no sign of anger on Lu Mingfei’s face.

"You really can't tell me?" She hugged Lu Mingfei's arm and said coquettishly with hopeful eyes.

The girl bit her pink lips, and under her messy black hair was a lovely face that was lovable.

Her lost tone always makes people feel that rejecting her is a heinous crime.

“…” Lu Mingfei turned his face away and laughed: “Love, like? Who would believe these? I’m not stupid enough to keep these words on my lips, and I can’t say them to anyone. Even if I really say them, it won’t have any other purpose except to be perfunctory…”

The red marks on Lu Mingzi's neck that had not yet disappeared felt like a burning pain, and for a moment it felt like he was suffocating.

After a pause, Lu Mingfei reluctantly added, "...I'm too lazy to be perfunctory with other people...if, I mean if...let me make it clear first, I'm just assuming..."

He coughed: "...In the second dimension, your character should be more likable...I didn't say I like you, I just don't dislike you like Senior Asahina Mikuru..."

He felt the hand that was holding him tightly finally loosen.

"...Brother is really stubborn..." Lu Mingzi said softly.

"Being stubborn? If you say so, then so be it." Lu Mingfei didn't care: "Sometimes, obedience can be a way to solve problems."

"...So, brother, are you trying to say that you have the same attitude towards her?" She looked at the central figure at the beginning of the topic.

“That’s not the case. Actually, I don’t mean that at all…” Lu Mingfei waved his hand.

A rare normal smile appeared on his face: "I just want to say that I obviously don't like the heroine Suzumiya Haruhi at all, but with Asahina-senpai here, I can still look forward to the next plot when I watch it..."

"In the final analysis, the same logic applies here. Lu Mingfei is not qualified as the male protagonist, but many people still remember this story deeply and feel very disappointed with Lu Mingfei. Why is that?"

He grinned: "Without Uesugi Eri, who would know you, Lu Mingfei? Who would have nothing better to do than hope that a pile of mud like you could be propped up against a wall?"

Lu Mingfei shrugged: "If you don't understand, just pretend I didn't say anything. I can't tell the difference between games and reality lately."
