Lu Mingfei, become the king of gambling in dungeons!

Chapter 12 Sudden Rain, Listening to the Tide at Night

The scene froze for a few seconds, then the rain poured down outside the bus shelter, revealing a white wall.

"You, who are you?" Liu Miaomiao blushed slightly, trying to be as polite as possible as she looked at Lu Mingfei, who was smoothing his bangs back.

"If it's a classmate from the same school, I'm sorry, but... I don't have a very good memory, and I'm very slow at memorizing Cambridge IELTS vocabulary."

Her voice was gentle, and she stood tall and graceful, easily giving people a harmless and kind impression.

Both she and Su Xiaoqiang came from well-off families and had chauffeured cars. With the rain so heavy and the bus so crowded, the two of them took the opportunity to whisper to each other at the bus stop.

"Lu Mingfei? You still comb your hair into a proper European style on a rainy day, you have quite the leisure." Su Xiaoqiang recognized him quickly after her initial surprise, and turned her head away with a cold laugh.

She and Lu Mingfei were known as sworn enemies in the whole class, the kind that didn't involve any affection. To be more precise, Su Xiaoqiang unilaterally liked to tease Lu Mingfei for no reason, while Lu Mingfei was so busy playing Deadpool that he didn't have time to argue with her. The two had their "grudges" twice, once at the beginning of their first year of high school, and once at the end of the second semester of their second year.

Lu Mingfei was also quite helpless about this. He felt he deserved it for what happened in his first year of high school, as he had made a small mistake. He lacked emotional intelligence and praised Chen Wenwen in front of Su Xiaoqiang. Su Xiaoqiang's nickname was Little Fairy, a favored daughter of heaven, and her appearance certainly lived up to that title...

Arguing with a proud, peacock-like girl about appearance is a losing proposition, a truth Caesar taught him. So, in the second semester of his junior year, he took the initiative to apologize to Su Xiaoqiang on QQ, praising her profusely, saying things like, "You are ten times better than Chen Wenwen," and "Brother, I was blind to your greatness before."

He was completely innocent in the end of the second semester of his junior year. To this day, he still doesn't know which sentence he said that offended this young lady. Their relationship, which was about to become normal good classmates, froze again. He was too tired and too lazy to find out. He was too busy serving even Deadpool, so naturally he didn't have the habit of serving someone who was indifferent to him every day.

As Su Xiaoqiang spoke, she glanced at Lu Mingfei with her icy blue eyes and waved her hand: "No, no, even if I had it, I wouldn't give it to you. Why would you want Senior Brother Chu's contact information? It's ridiculous."

The moment she saw Lu Mingfei, her aura was like a war chariot packed with gunpowder, full of barbs and spears. Seeing her like this, Lu Mingfei just wanted to facepalm and didn't want to pay any attention to her either.

Everyone should just go their own way.

For some reason, Liu Miaomiao blushed even more, her fair earlobes turning pink: "I'm sorry, Lu Mingfei, I didn't recognize you. You look quite different without bangs. I mean, you were always pretty and delicate. I... I'll see if I can help you."

"I have a photo like Senior Brother Chu's... Do you want it?"

Her voice was very soft and low, but Lu Mingfei heard it clearly.

Lu Mingfei: "???"

Holy crap, what's wrong with you, lady?

Your expression makes it sound like we're running an illegal DVD business outside the school gate. And where did you get this weird resource from?

Private photos or portraits of Senior Brother Chu?

still is……

Lu Mingfei gasped, thinking to himself that he dared not think any further. Sister Liu's methods were terrifying; was this the dark world of adults?

"Really? I'll take as many as you have."

In the blink of an eye, Lu Mingfei figured out a key point and made up his mind: there was definitely some gossip behind this photo. He scanned Liu Miaomiao up and down twice with a meaningful look.

I searched high and low, but found it without any effort.

So it was you, Liu Miaomiao.

That guy who went to the cinema with his senior to see the Doraemon movie!

You can't tell the real person from the photos unless they're in a close relationship. But how could they have intimate photos if they weren't? It's definitely the real person in person.

He had clearly won the heart of the most beautiful woman on the list of those to be executed, yet he pretended to be a naive and innocent girl who couldn't have the woman he loved. It was like a wolf feigning sleep to lure the enemy... No, it was like a wise merchant hiding his true nature, a virtuous gentleman appearing foolish.

Cunning, so incredibly cunning!

After scrolling through the pages for a while, Liu Miaomiao pursed her lips and handed over her Blackberry Bold 9700: "Here you go. If you want to keep it, I'll send it to you on QQ."

"I really love this one... I love the lighting so much from this angle. The lighting is great."

"……Forehead."

"Just everyday photos." Lu Mingfei's tone betrayed his disappointment. The photos on his phone were taken at perfect angles, but they were the kind that anyone could easily find on the school forum if they put their mind to it.

He'd also seen a whole bunch of defeat CGs of Chu Zihang, the Genji Heavy Industries limited edition.

You've got the wrong person and the wrong gossip. A few everyday photos and she's this excited and silly. She's so easily satisfied, she's obviously never had anything good before. Liu Miaomiao can't possibly be that cunning movie theater junior/senior.

Who exactly is this big shot...? Lu Mingfei racked his brains but still couldn't pinpoint the target of his gossip.

"Well, actually, I'm not very familiar with my senior brother. We don't usually talk to each other," Liu Miaomiao said somewhat shyly.

She blushed and added, "If you also have a full-body photo of him, we can exchange them in the future. I won't accept duplicates. I secretly kept six rare school uniform photos; they were all 'top-quality' items obtained by professional club seniors."

"For exchange only, not for sale." After saying that, she buried her face in her hands.

Why do you think I have other photos of Chu Zihang...? Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "Wake up, your face is turning red like steam, you're about to become a Transformer!"

What are you thinking? Look closely, Liu Miaomiao, I'm not your buddy.

Feeling like he'd triggered some kind of urban evil merchant transaction plot, Lu Mingfei turned his gaze to... the roof of the bus shelter for help.

How should I respond to this?

"Feed." Su Xiaoqiang brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear, interrupting the almost frozen transaction between the two. "If you really want Chu Zihang's way of chatting, find the group number of our school's college entrance exam group in the QQ class group and join it."

"Senior Brother Chu is an outstanding graduate of Shilan University and is often invited by the teachers to be a 'symbolic guest' in the group. However, he usually doesn't participate much. Try asking for help with college admissions as your reason."

Lu Mingfei thought the method was a bit unreliable, but it was still barely feasible.

He had thought of this before, but he felt that having a friend of Chu Zihang recommend adding him on the chat would make it easier to get through and also make it easier to have topics to talk about with Chu Zihang.

Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang were definitely school beauties and popular figures at Shilan Middle School. I originally thought they had some connection with Chu Zihang, especially Liu Miaomiao, who had played a duet with Chu Zihang. Now it seems that Brother Chu treats men, women, young and old equally.

"That's difficult. It's extremely hard to add Senior Brother Chu on QQ. You basically can't get through. I have his email address, but I can't send it to you." Liu Miaomiao looked a little dejected, and then explained for Chu Zihang, "He must be very troubled by the large number of people adding him. He seems to be super busy. I heard that there's a polarization in foreign countries. Some people have many small channels and their graduation is easy, while others have heavy academic workloads and it's difficult to graduate."

Chu Zihang must have gone to a school with extremely high difficulty, otherwise he wouldn't have been qualified to be chosen by this school.

"...Anyway, thanks. I'll try using the group chat at the internet cafe. Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang, I'll treat you to drinks when you're free." Lu Mingfei's watch beeped in his bag, and he remembered that he had arranged to play StarCraft with Lao Tang that evening. He picked up his bag and walked into the downpour. He had to get to the internet cafe within fifteen minutes.

"Lu Mingfei, you..." Su Xiaoqiang looked at the raging wind and rain outside, where the figures outside the pavilion were almost invisible, "Don't die out there, so stubborn and unwilling to take shelter from the rain."

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing, someone's picking me up." Lu Mingfei's calm, surprised voice came from the rain.

Liu Miaomiao covered her mouth, unable to stop laughing, while Su Xiaoqiang rolled her eyes.

With each step he took, he splashed up puddles of water. Lu Mingfei sacrificed his clothes in exchange for running fast in the rain, since his trouser legs were already soaked anyway.

Running the normal route wouldn't get him to his favorite and cheapest internet cafe that quickly. The prestigious high school was in the suburbs, so he had to take a shortcut.

The quickest way to get to this seaside town is via the elevated highway, and there are three elevated highways connecting the suburbs to the city.

Like the sound of bronze chimes ringing out once more, ancient and seemingly from a time even longer than antiquity, it was still that single, indistinct word, but the emotions it contained seemed even richer.

"father……"

The sound of the ocean waves mingled with the sound of the rain.

Lu Mingfei felt a strange unease upon hearing this and quickened his pace.

Is it another auditory hallucination?

I should feel better after having a cup of hot water at the internet cafe. Maybe I've been having too many dreams and am under too much stress. I should be able to get to the internet cafe within the time agreed with Lao Tang.

As he was thinking this, the sound disappeared not long afterward.

But the feeling of palpitations lingered, and a lingering sadness weighed on his heart, making his face pale and cold, perhaps also due to the torrential rain.

As he got closer, Lu Mingfei tried to clear his mind of his jumbled thoughts and saw the overpass sign not far away.

Heavy rain and thick fog.

He'll be at the internet cafe soon after crossing a section of the overpass.

The nameplate reads "Zero Viaduct".

Zero?

Lu Mingfei paused and stopped walking.

"Does this city have a No. 0 elevated highway?"

Newly built... No, that can't be. I just walked through here last month. If I remember correctly, this should be the No. 10 overpass.

A subconscious sense of unease made Lu Mingfei stand still, choosing to observe rather than step over the sign.

The dark water flowed over the edge of his shoes, and pairs of familiar golden eyes lit up from the depths of the rainy night, like a pack of wild beasts that had been thirsty for a thousand years.

The familiar growls and whispers, the familiar greedy eyes.

The appearance of Deadpool actually reduced Lu Mingfei's anxiety, providing some relief to his fluctuating emotions.

If he's in danger with friends, he'll feel worried and sad, but if he's alone, he won't have as many negative emotions.

"Hmm, so it really exists in real life?"

At a distance of about thirty meters, Lu Mingfei carefully observed Deadpool on the overpass, and the corners of his pale lips involuntarily curled up slightly.

"It feels familiar, this is what...a real world should be like."

The speculation was confirmed: the world of dreams is a preview of the real world.

He can leave this position whenever he wants. Running a marathon while toying with Deadpool is no more difficult for him than eating a whole bucket of chicken. Even if he's surrounded in a non-enclosed space, he can quickly find a way out and fight his way out.

Besides... it seems these guys can't get out.

So Lu Mingfei stood silently at the entrance of the overpass, like a wise ruler visiting a brothel incognito. No matter how much the beautifully dressed prostitutes entangled him, he showed no intention of taking off his pants and going in to play.

One of the abandoned vehicles after the overpass entrance caught his attention.

It was a jet-black sedan that almost blended into the night. It looked strangely familiar. Inside the triangular emblem on the front of the car were two overlapping "M"s forming a mountain shape. It was a top-of-the-line sedan called Maybach 62. The car's name, when translated into Chinese, is Maybach.

This particular model is a global limited edition, and Lu Mingfei vaguely felt that he had seen this car somewhere before.

The Deadpools began to move, but they never dared to leap out to hunt.

Lu Mingfei frowned, his expression vanishing, and his fiery golden eyes lit up. The torrential rain that had lingered around him was blocked by an invisible barrier of air, and the rain and wind swirled around him, while the black tidal wave drew a circle around him.

He and the Deadpools stared at each other from afar. The Deadpools both feared and desired him, with the desire outweighing the fear. But his attention was now completely elsewhere; his sharp gaze pierced through the gaps between the Deadpools.

The clatter of hooves drowned out the thunder and rain, and the spear slowly sliced ​​through the mist.

A tall figure appeared at the back of the Deadpool group, surrounded by mist and electricity.

Like a god, like a demon.
