Chapter 233 Can’t see the way forward clearly

Lu Mingfei was walking on the endless ice sea. Above his head was the Milky Way running through the sky. The huge black shadow of a whale was swimming under the ice.

On the sea level of the distant ice sea, a huge white moon is rising slowly. Half of the moon has risen above the ice, and the other half is still below the sea. The ice surface reflects the shadow of half of the white moon, which together with the half moon in the sky forms a perfect circle.

The boy sat fishing in the moonlight, his long fishing rod hanging above the ice cave, where there was a pool of dark blue water.

"What's going on?" Lu Mingfei walked up to the boy and stopped behind him: "Is it interesting?"

It goes without saying that the boy fishing is Lu Mingze. Such a scene cannot be a natural scene. It will only appear in the paintings of abstract painters. The only person who can make such a scene concrete is Lu Mingze. He is a devil and he can do everything.

Ever since they parted on the subway last time, the little devil disappeared without a trace. This was the first time Lu Mingfei saw this devil. Maybe the devil also has self-esteem and hid away after losing face in front of the clients.

So why are they showing up again now? Are they trying to save face? Or have they found it too hard to be a devil in business and have switched to being a fisherman?
Lu Mingfei turned up his collar to keep warm and sat down next to the boy. The boy acted as if he was really here for ice fishing, wearing a heavy woolen coat, exquisite deerskin boots, and a bearskin hat with folded ears.

Lu Mingze smiled and handed over the thing in his hand. It was a soft cashmere scarf with a warm hand warmer wrapped inside. Lu Mingfei wrapped the scarf around his neck and took the hand warmer. Immediately, a warm current flowed through him, soothing his almost frozen body.

He had to admit that the little devil was quite caring. Thinking back, every time he met the little devil, it was in a relaxing place, in an unknown warm corner, and they snuggled up to each other until the end of the world.

He took a flat metal can from the little devil, took a sip, and felt a hot sensation rushing into his stomach. His whole body became lazy and everything around him looked pleasing to the eye.

With such a huge moon and such a quiet sea, it is quite romantic to fish side by side. Even the little devils don't seem so annoying anymore.

"Tell me, what do you want to do with me? I know you are such a thief that you wouldn't come to me for no reason, but I don't need to sell my soul to you. I am healthy and everything is going well for me. I eat delicious food. Except for failing a few courses during the midterm exam, my life is perfect."

"I know, you have the protection of your senior sister." Lu Mingze said calmly: "With the protection of your senior sister, you don't need the protection of your brother."

"You know why don't you crawl away." Lu Mingfei twisted his mouth and said, "My senior sister doesn't like you. She will definitely be unhappy if she knows that I met you. By the way, why are you so mean? My senior sister is so kind, why are you bullying her?"

"She's kind? I bullied her?" Lu Mingze looked as if he had heard a joke, his expression became very strange: "You probably don't know how many people died at her hands, if you pile them up, they would be as high as a mountain."

“You’re just lying.” Lu Mingfei didn’t believe it at all: “If you continue to make up rumors, I’ll leave.”

"Okay, okay, she's the kindest person in the world." The devil spread his hands, his expression became puzzled: "Speaking of which, I always thought you would like her, why did you want to confess to Nuonuo in the end?"

Lu Mingfei thought of the hospital ward. He almost told Nuo Nuo that he liked her. He scratched his head and said, "Do you need a reason to like someone? I like her because I think she is pretty. You are a child and you don't understand."

He had a crush on Chen Wenwen for three years in high school, but at the beginning it was just because Chen Wenwen asked him softly if he wanted to join the literature club. The girl in the white dress in the sun was so sacred, just like a fairy who came to the earth to save mortals, so he liked her.

As for Nono... It's hard not to be moved by the free-spirited little red-haired witch patting her chest and saying she would protect him, right? Her eyes are so bright and she is so loyal. She is just like a slim-waisted, long-legged and majestic little bandit who steps on your face and says, "Follow me or not, then whoever doesn't leave is a fool!"
There is often no need for any reason to like someone. The so-called love at first sight can also be said to be lust at first sight.

As for why he didn't have any intentions towards Fengjian Liuli...it was probably because Lu Mingfei felt deep down that they were not from the same world. She was more like a teacher, who would teach him the principles of life, but at the same time, she was too lazy to talk nonsense and only liked to take action, just like the Nun Miejue in the novel who killed people without blinking an eye.

Even though Senior Sister Liuli was beautiful and good at fighting, and even though Nun Miejue was a beautiful Nun Miejue, Lu Mingfei could not harbor any bad intentions towards her. When he saw her, he wanted to straighten his back to prove that he was working hard to change and did not want to let her down.

But there is no need to tell these to the devil, because the devil knows nothing about human emotions.

But the devil who doesn't understand emotions is still giving advice: "Why don't you go and be with Fengjian Liuli? That way, we can be a family, and I won't have a headache every day when I see her."

"Bullshit, you're a devil and you still have a headache? I've already told you I don't like my senior sister, don't match me up with her!"

"Then I'll help you chase Nuonuo? The whole stagnation thing is just a lie. She simply doesn't like you, brother."

Lu Mingfei was silent for a long time, then shook his head. “This matter has nothing to do with you. Get out of here. Damn, who hasn’t had a crush on a few beauties in class and been disappointed a few times when they were young? It’s normal that you don’t like me. It’s weird that you like me!”

“Brother, you’ve been playing the clown for too long and got so into the role that you even forgot about yourself,” Lu Mingze said calmly.

"Clown? Who are you scolding?"

"How could I scold you? You are my client. We moral soul dealers never scold our clients. In fact, I came here to inform you that I have to take a vacation for a while."

The devil said: "When we signed the contract, I said I would be available at your request, but I forgot to tell you the additional terms, which is that I cannot provide services during holidays."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a few seconds and unexpectedly felt a little disappointed.

Although the little devil was essentially a ghost that wanted to kill him, always staring at his seemingly worthless life, Lu Mingfei wanted to burn incense and pray to Buddha to get rid of this guy, but when he thought that he would not get a response from this little devil even if he shouted into the air, he couldn't help feeling a little empty.

Although he felt disappointed, Lu Mingfei still had a tough mouth: "How long will you be on vacation for? Is it ten thousand years?"

"No, no, how much paid vacation can a small salesperson like us get? Only one month." Lu Mingze sighed: "Besides, the place you are about to go is not my jurisdiction. I have no authority there."

"I don't have any plans to go out." Lu Mingfei was a little confused.

"Your business trip notice should be arriving soon. I have packed your suitcase for you so you don't have to rush." ​​Lu Mingze looked attentive.

"Where am I going? That's not your jurisdiction, right? Great, does that mean if I stay there forever and never come back, I can avoid you, the devil knocking on my door?"

"Guess what? It's the country that otakus most yearn for."

"Fuck, is this Japan?!"

"You guessed it right! It's the hometown of your kind senior sister. That's her home turf. You must remember to cling to her and never let yourself be abandoned."

"Senior sister will never abandon me!" Lu Mingfei was filled with righteous indignation: "Do you think everyone is as untrustworthy as a devil like you?"

"Okay, okay, your sister is the best, alright? But, remember to keep an eye on her and don't let her do anything stupid." The devil's tone suddenly became low: "Otherwise you won't have a sister anymore, and you'll be all alone with the devil as your companion."

Lu Mingfei was stunned, always feeling that there was some deep meaning in the devil's words, but before he could say anything, there was a "splash" of water, and at this moment, the fish that Lu Mingze was waiting for was hooked.

In the shadow of the white moon, Lu Mingze raised his fishing rod high, and the fishing line floating in the air pulled out a black dragon from the water! The behemoth roared, agile, and swift in the shadow of the moon!
Damn it! He didn't expect that the prey of the little devil's sea fishing was actually a dragon, a black dragon!
Before he could even scream, Lu Mingze had already reached out and grabbed the dragon's neck, stuffing it into the fish basket at his feet. No one knew how he stuffed such a huge prey into that small fish basket, but he did it so easily.

"Long time no see, old friend." Lu Mingze patted the fish basket and smiled calmly: "You must be a good bait. Everyone seems to be very interested in you."

He said, waving at Lu Mingfei: "Brother, I'm leaving first. I have to visit other friends, so I won't accompany you."

"Does the devil have friends?"

"Yes, but our relationship is not very good. I always feel that she wants to kill me. But it doesn't matter. I still have to meet her."

The devil's back gradually faded away, the sound of the tide swept in, Lu Mingfei looked back tremblingly, and saw the waterfall sloping into the sea along the edge of the white moon. The entire white moonlight turned into an all-encompassing rain, leaving people... nowhere to escape.

...

"You really don't want to live with us?" Nono held Yuan Zhinu's hand, looking unwilling: "What's so good about that Russian girl? Don't you dislike lolita? Isn't Susie attractive enough to you?"

As she spoke, she tried to get Yuan Zhinu to look at Susie, pointing at her and saying, "Look at her, she has a slim waist, long legs, and a pretty face. She's also good at washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning the room. She's your favorite good wife and good mother!"

Su Qian wanted to cover her face: "Chen Motong, you are talking nonsense again!" Yuan Zhinu pushed away Nuo Nuo's face expressionlessly, and said calmly: "I want to change my taste recently, I think Loli is not bad."

Nuonuo was struck by lightning, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Gouzi, you have changed!"

Yuan Zhinv was very calm and asked a strange question: "Have any students ever gone missing in the academy?"

"Ah? How would I know? There shouldn't be any." Nono scratched his head: "I haven't seen it in the Night Watch discussion area. This is a school. Where can someone disappear to?"

"Oh."

Looking at Yuan Zhinu's thoughtful expression, Nuonuo suddenly had a bad feeling. As she had the ability to predict, her premonitions were usually very accurate. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"What can I do? Can I eat her?" Yuan Zhinv smiled and said, "I have something else to do. I'll go back first."

Looking at Yuan Zhinu's departing figure, Nono tilted her head and asked Susie, "Did she just say 'she'?"

Susie blinked and said, "Yes."

"Fuck, you're admitting it yourself." Nuo Nuo looked disappointed: "What's so good about Lolita! Do you understand the beauty of a queen? You have no taste at all!"

But before he could finish his words, he was suppressed by Susie.

Yuan Zhinu ignored the two girls' quarrel. She was in a good mood at the moment. After all, it was the first time she saw a head delivered to her door.

Although Zero and Shude Mai are just so-so in strength, they are the little devil's right-hand men. They ran so fast before that it was a pity that Genjitsu didn't kill them. Now, they are delivered to the door directly.

Yuan Zhinv simply couldn't imagine how wonderful Lu Mingze's expression would be if she killed Ling. It really made her feel wonderful just thinking about it, and she couldn't wait.

I just don't know what this devil is crazy about. She sent Zero to her for no reason. Isn't this sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth? Did the little devil expect her to show mercy?
Forget it, never mind. The head that’s right in front of me cannot be rejected. Just take it.

With this thought, Yuan Zhinu's determination to return to the dormitory became stronger, because Ling said that she had moved there. However, when she opened the door of the dormitory, she saw not the little loli, but...

"Why do you have that expression? Are you unhappy to see me?" The devil tilted his head slightly. To be honest, he had a very delicate face, so small that he looked like a little boy.

But no one would be happy if a loli turned into a shota. Yuan Zhinv closed the door expressionlessly and reached for the knife.

"Hey, girls, don't be so violent." The delicate boy scratched his head. He sat on the windowsill, swinging his legs. He was wearing white square-toed leather shoes, a black suit, a white silk scarf, and a pair of light golden eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Yuan Zhinu's tone was very cold, as if she was ready to fight if they didn't agree with her: "Did you ask Ling to move here?"

"You're leaving soon, and I'm not sure if you'll come back to the dormitory, so I'll have to ask the lovely girl to invite you. It's not convenient to meet somewhere else." The delicate boy said, "Don't be so nervous, just chat."

"I have nothing to talk to you about."

"I'm really sad when you say that. I don't understand why you treat me so badly when you're so good to Lu Mingfei?" Lu Mingze tilted his head: "Is that piece of trash worthy of your attention?"

"Compared to him, you are the loser." Yuan Zhinv smiled, but her smile was cold and did not reach her eyes: "How does it feel to have the script torn up? Can you still judge my fate from a high position?"

"I can never pronounce your fate, because your fate is already determined. Not to mention me, even Nidhogg can't change it."

The devil sighed: "But you are really capable of making trouble. No one can make trouble like you. Why are you making such a fuss as a little girl? Be careful not to turn into a female dinosaur!"

"If you're here to talk nonsense, then you can go away. I don't mind giving you a ride." The Source Girl drew out her knife, and Levatin began to emit a dangerous red glow.

"Really? You have no patience at all. I came here to say goodbye to you."

"Goodbye? Is there a need for us to say goodbye?" Yuan Zhinv sneered: "If you are ready to die one day, you can tell me. I prefer a permanent farewell."

“Maybe this really is a farewell forever.”

The devil tilted his head towards her. The afternoon sun shone behind him. His long shadow was cast all the way to Yuan Zhinu's feet. There was a faint smile on his pretty and tender face.

Yuan Zhinv frowned: "What do you want to say?"

"I didn't want to care about you at first. You were someone outside my plan. I wanted to kill you because I was afraid you would interfere with my plan. But then I realized that if you really died, there would be one less interesting person in the world. That would be a pity."

"Do you need to say it so pompously?" Yuan Zhinv leaned against the wall, with a hint of sarcasm in her red pupils: "If you can't kill me, just say it directly."

She had finally realized that this devil couldn't kill her so he started to attack her mind. However, she was never easily persuaded. The only regret was that the devil's real body was still in the polar regions and now it was just a phantom and she couldn't kill it with one blow.

"I think you have a deep misunderstanding of me." Lu Mingze smiled: "But whether you believe it or not, my coming to you this time is a good thing for you."

Yuan Zhinv didn't even bother to raise her eyelids to look at him. She treated all his words as nonsense. She didn't believe that this guy could bring anything good.

"I know you don't believe me, but I still want to say it." Lu Mingze blinked and his voice became very soft: "What you see is not necessarily true. In this illusory world, don't believe anything, including yourself."

"What do you mean?" Yuan Zhinv was a little impatient: "What's the purpose of saying a bunch of nonsense?"

"What purpose can I have? I just don't want things to get more difficult." Lu Mingze sighed: "Although you have a bad temper and are impulsive and irritable, you are still a good person if you do it reluctantly."

"If you continue on the path you're on now, you'll probably turn into a devil like me, and that won't be fun at all. If I could, I would definitely choose to kill you to eliminate your future troubles, but unfortunately, as you said, I can't do anything about you for now."

"So I have to remind you, lest everyone can't play anymore." Lu Mingze still had that faint smile on his face, with a hint of coldness in his smile: "Compared to the devil, you are more pleasing to the eye."

"Girl, let me remind you one last thing. Don't believe anything, including yourself." The boy waved slowly at Yuan Zhinv and whispered, "Don't do stupid things. You will hurt yourself and everyone else."

Yuan Zhinv was about to speak, but the devil's figure had disappeared without a trace, and there was only some dust floating in the sunlight left where he had just sat, as if a boy had never appeared there.

The dormitory was still the same as when she left, with no extra belongings.

But it makes sense. In the eyes of Kassel Academy, Xia Mi was just missing but not dead. It has only been a few days. How could she give her room to someone else? Sure enough, Ling's words were just to lure her back at this time.

So all this trouble was just to let the little devil say a bunch of incomprehensible things to her?
Actually, this is somewhat similar to what Norton said, but these riddlers just refuse to explain it clearly. However, Yuan Zhinv can roughly guess it. Isn't it because they are afraid that she will become the white monarch?

But why did Lu Mingze say that she would eventually become something like a devil? Could it be that she would lose her humanity after becoming a dragon king like Old Tang?
Could it be that simple?

Yuan Zhinu only felt that the matter seemed to be becoming more and more confusing. There seemed to be a thick layer of fog ahead, and she could not see what was inside, nor could she see the way forward.

Forget it, Yuan Zhinu thought.

No matter what lies ahead, we have to move forward.
