Dragon Raja: Reboot

"Click".

The flash suddenly went off.

The sudden sound effects and flash of light shattered the harmony.

The girl clenched her fist to her chest and said innocently, "Sorry, I forgot to turn off the flash and sound effects. How about... you guys continue? Just pretend I don't exist! I'll keep trying to minimize my presence!"

Xia Mi raised her hand and held up two fingers, seriously pronouncing "four," looking like a good girl.

Lu Mingfei looked at the camera in her hand, his lips twitching.

This guy is really trying hard to make himself invisible, to the point that he forgot there was a junior sister pretending to be asleep next to him!

He awkwardly released his grip on his senior brother, feeling inexplicably guilty.

"Junior sister, what photos did you take? Let your senior brother see them."

"Ahem, a little bit of beauty, I'm going to cherish it."

"...Senior brother majored in photography in his freshman year, let me give you some advice, otherwise you won't be able to handle it!" Lu Mingfei suddenly pounced on Xia Mi fiercely, his target the camera in Xia Mi's hand.

"No!" Xia Mi's eyes darted around, and she nimbly dodged the attack.

"Senior brother, save me! Waaaaah! Senior brother Lu is trying to take advantage of my camera!" She used Chu Zihang as a shield and circled around with Lu Mingfei, shouting loudly.

The two young people chasing and playing around suddenly made the originally empty and quiet waiting platform lively.

Two middle-aged women at the ticket counter peeked into the waiting hall, while the drowsy guards at the entrance perked up. They watched the young men and women playing around with smiles, marveling at how wonderful the youth were.

Chu Zihang was stunned for a long time, as if he had been in another world.

Until the noise around him pulled him back to the mundane world.

He turned around and was surprised to find his junior brothers and sisters circling around him.

The three of them were playing a game of tag, except that the mother hen didn't move, and the game was carried out entirely by the tacit cooperation between the chicks and the eagle.

The sound of a train rolling over the tracks grew louder as it approached.

With a whistle, the old-fashioned train, which was several hours late, finally slowly pulled into the station.

With a history spanning over a hundred years, the train slowly pulled into the station. This old Victorian train is still in service today, its entire body etched with history.

Chu Zihang called out to his junior brothers and sisters who were chasing and playing around, picked up his suitcase, and headed towards the ticket gate.

The lady in charge of checking tickets smiled gently at them, told them to remember to look out the window at dawn, as there would be unexpected surprises, and wished them an unforgettable trip.

The trio boarded the train with the lady's blessings.

The carriage they were in was empty, so the three of them randomly found a seat and sat down.

Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei sat facing each other. Chu Zihang originally wanted to sit next to his junior brother, but Xia Mi forcibly pulled him to sit next to her, saying that she was afraid that senior brother Lu would snatch her camera again.

Seeing the two staring at each other, Chu Zihang decided to say something to ease the tension.

"I checked beforehand. This is a Victorian-era steam train that has been repaired dozens of times and is still in service. The carriages retain their original interior design. Since the speed is not fast, you can also open the windows to get some fresh air."

As soon as he finished speaking, his junior brothers and sisters, who had never seen much of the world, began to study how to open the window with great interest.

Chu Zihang was silent for a moment, then got up and opened the window for them. The night breeze rushed in, taking away the heat of the summer night.

"This route will pass through the central area of ​​Snowdonia National Park, and then through the town of Bedgelet. You may not know this town, but you may have seen it on postcards. It is beautiful, but unfortunately, we will be passing through there at two or three in the morning, and you will only be able to see the outline of the town in the night. After that, there will be continuous coastlines, ancient oak forests, mountains, rivers, canyons and other natural scenery along the way."

"The reason that lady wished us a pleasant journey is because it's a scenic railway, and the school's branch campus is hidden at the end of this railway."

Chu Zihang spoke calmly and clearly, providing a detailed explanation.

"Senior, you're a tour guide major, right?" Xia Mi rested her chin on her hands, tilted her head to look at him, and a wisp of hair on her forehead bobbed in the air.

Chu Zihang paused for a moment, "I've never been here before, so I specifically checked the route in detail before coming."

"If my senior brother gets married, he'll definitely be a housekeeper," Lu Mingfei remarked.

"The housekeeper?"

"It's an outstanding man who takes meticulous care of every aspect of his family after marriage!" Teacher Xia Mi began her explanation.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lu Mingfei nodded repeatedly.

Chu Zihang fell silent again, feeling deep down that the true meaning of the word was definitely not what his junior sister had said.

"Senior brother, what were you talking about while I was sleeping?" Xia Mi asked curiously, resting her chin on her hand.

"Let's talk about mythology. Have you heard of Odin?" Lu Mingfei asked casually, finding a comfortable sitting position.

"Hey, Senior Brother Lu, you've changed your target?" Xia Mi asked, her eyes wide. "Weren't you going to write your final paper on King Arthur? Now you're going to switch to Odin?"

Chu Zihang suddenly looked up.

"I didn't change it. There's no conflict. I'm preparing to study the connection between King Arthur and Odin." Lu Mingfei shrugged.

Xia Mi asked suspiciously, "I can understand why you asked me about Attila the Hun last time, since those two were from similar eras. But when did King Arthur ever get linked to Odin from Norse mythology?"

Chu Zihang also frowned.

My junior brother couldn't have made a baseless accusation, but the question is... how did King Arthur and Odin get involved?

King Arthur is a mythological figure belonging to Celtic mythology, while Odin is the king of the gods in Norse mythology. These two are completely unrelated.

Lu Mingfei said seriously, "That's why we need to study it! It's precisely because no one has discovered the relationship between the two that it's even more valuable to study. I've already decided that Professor Schneider will definitely give me an A+ after this paper is finished!"

"Brother Lu, have you made any discoveries yet?" Xia Mi asked, tilting her head.

"Well, what a coincidence, there is a bit of that." Lu Mingfei shifted his posture, squinting as he smiled. "Have you guys seen *Ghost in the Shell*?"

The man and woman sitting opposite him shook their heads blankly.

"You two are a perfect match! Neither of you had a childhood?" Lu Mingfei said, covering his face. "Okay, today's protagonist isn't *Ghost in the Shell*, but its director, Mamoru Oshii!"

Chu Zihang suddenly spoke up: "I've heard of this name before. He's a famous Japanese director. I've seen his 08 film, 'The Sky Crawlers'."

"Great! It's a pity that today's main focus isn't *Ghost in the Shell* or *The Sky Crawlers*, but rather his 01 film... *Avalon*!"

Lu Mingfei slowly but forcefully uttered the last three words.

The two people in front of him tensed up simultaneously, their eyes flashing with intense golden light as they fixed their gazes on Lu Mingfei.
