Dragon Clan: Reboot Life

Chapter 365 Smith?
Who sent the courier?
It was no coincidence that this time period was sent, but a blatant provocation.

The other party knew that he would stay in this hotel room today, and knew his whereabouts like the back of his hand. Was there a betrayal inside, or was the enemy's eyeliner inserted into the secret party?

Lu Mingfei opened the door, and there was a hotel waiter standing at the door, holding a large express carton in both hands.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lu Mingfeilu? This is your courier." The waiter said with a warm smile.

Lu Mingfei smiled back and took the cardboard box. The moment he saw the cardboard box, he knew what was inside. It wasn't the bomb that disappointed him.

After closing the door, Lu Mingfei came to the sofa with the cardboard box in his arms, and Huiliyi curiously sat beside him holding the dragon cub.

Unpacking the express box, there are two plump durians, a set of Southeast Asian-style batik beach pants and skirts, some white coffee, and a letter.

Lu Mingfei was not in a hurry to open the letter. He looked at the two big durians, thinking that this thing is no different from a bomb in a sense, it is still a biochemical bomb.

Eriyi held up the Southeast Asian-style batik dress with some surprises. It seemed that she liked this color and style of batik cloth. She made a gesture in front of her, and it seemed to be just right. It seems that the people behind the scenes not only knew their clothes Their whereabouts, and their size are also well known.

Lu Mingfei opened the envelope, wanting to see what kind of mystery it was playing.

There was only one sentence in the letter.

It was an inexplicable sentence that completely puzzled Lu Mingfei.

"In the middle of the night in those years, when you sneaked out of the house with the accumulated pocket money, walked the paulownia path leading to the Internet cafe, and was surrounded by the shadows of trees with teeth and claws in the night wind, did you ever feel afraid even for a moment? "

Lu Mingfei stared blankly at the strange question on the letter paper.

He turned the letter paper upside down, but couldn't find the sender's name on the letter paper.

Isn't it basic etiquette to write a letter and leave a name?
Lu Mingfei clicked his tongue and turned the carton upside down again, but found nothing.

After thinking about it, he took a picture of the only information on the courier and sent it to EVA, asking her to help find out where the courier was sent from.

During the waiting time, he stared at the question on the letter paper and fell into a daze.

The person who asked this question seemed to have really investigated his past in depth.

When he was young, he and little fat man Lu Mingze shared an old-fashioned notebook that his uncle didn't use. If he wanted to play, he could only play in the bed while little fat Lu was asleep.

Once he has some pocket money on hand, he will sneak out of the house every night, flashing the shadowy path like a night walker, and rushing to the game room in a swipe of smoke.

In the eyes of Lu Mingfei at that time, the Internet cafe was a very magical holy place. The fluorescent tubes were shrouded in choking smoke. The rivers and lakes are as lonely as snow.

And as a member of Jianghu, he nestled in the territory that belonged to him within a few hours after paying the money, and started an all-night fierce battle against the sky filled with smoke, with people cheering or cursing in his ears from time to time, and some people wearing headsets Tenderly, she confided with the little sister on the opposite side, and there were also people who were defeated with ten fingers, and the other side was defeated, while the little girl who collected money lay at the front desk and dreamed of the rising music king. "Network management comes to the Mediterranean Sea" broke the dream, so I yawned cursingly and turned around to look for cigarettes...

At that time, Lu Mingfei, who was used to shrinking in a corner, would feel that all the noise and joys and sorrows of the world were gathered here.

Probably this is the rivers and lakes.

As for being afraid...

Lu Mingfei put down the letter paper and looked out of the window with memories in his eyes.

To be honest, when I passed the paulownia path when I went out, my mind was full of excitement all night. I didn’t care how hideous and monster-like tentacles the surrounding tree shadows were. Simply put, the joy of playing computer games all night was going to my head. .

When he went home to sleep at 04:30 in the morning, the sky was still dark at this time, and the cool night wind came in and walked along the sleeves and trousers. The cold wind cooled his brain, the shadows of the surrounding trees were swaying, and the shadows on the ground were distorted. Grim as the claws of a monster.Every time at this time, he couldn't help but look back, always feeling that someone was following behind him, but he only dared to turn his head twice, because some netizens told him that if he turned his head three times when he was walking at night, three yang fires would kill him. If they are all extinguished, then all the demons and ghosts will come.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei laughed dumbfounded.

Now that I think about it, Yang Huo is too nonsense, if there is a ghost in this world, I wouldn't dare to come to him, right?

But in fact he misses those days very much.

Because that was one of the few commendable scenes in his childhood.

It was a long, long afternoon, when I suddenly thought of it, I couldn't help but smile knowingly.

It is also proof that he is Lu Mingfei and has existed in this world.

The person who wrote this letter is quite interesting.

The phone suddenly vibrated.

Lu Mingfei turned over the phone, it was the news from EVA, browsing the information on it, Lu Mingfei was somewhat calm.

The logistics company responsible for this delivery is exactly his target for tonight——Red Shield Logistics and Transportation Company.

It seems that the goal of their trip has already made preparations to welcome them in advance.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei began to look forward to tonight's itinerary even more. He wanted to know who was hiding behind the scenes, who sent this letter for him, and whether the guy who asked this question was someone he had known before. an acquaintance.

Hope to see him tonight.

Although he didn't see the name, Lu Mingfei had a vague feeling that this would be an acquaintance.

For some memories from a long time ago, Lu Mingfei doesn't remember clearly, including some members of the Presbyterian Church. The long years have made him forget some people and things, or never think of them. This memory has always been there. Pinned on another self.

These days Lu Mingfei has been looking for another self, but the other party will not accept softness, just keep silent.

Lu Mingfei put the letter away and stuffed it into his pocket. He was going to take this letter to meet the people behind the scenes tonight, hoping that the other party would not avoid it, how boring it would be.

He looked at the two big durians on the table and struggled for a while, this thing is really a blessing...

In this leisurely afternoon.

Eliyi hugged the dragon cub and leaned on Lu Mingfei's shoulder and fell asleep.

Lu Mingfei was lying on the sofa, squinting his eyes and preparing to take a nap.

The mottled sunlight through the layers of forest leaves outside the window swayed along with the forest leaves, brushing on his face,

Taking advantage of the leisure time in the afternoon, he gradually fell asleep.

He seemed to be having a long and indistinct dream.

In the dream, he was standing at the gate of a palace, leaning against the gate, the bright sky was shining down on the palace, the vision in front of him was blurred and hazy, and he couldn't see clearly.

He could only vaguely see someone sitting with his back to the sky in the depths of the palace, and no one could see that person's face clearly, just as no one could look directly at the brilliant sun above his head.

Until the sound of footsteps outside the hall interrupted his thoughts.

……

……

"Your Majesty, long time no see."

"Smith?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Have you encountered anything interesting during this long journey? Let's hear it."

"I set off from the northern shore of the Giant God Sea and traveled around the world. Along the way, I saw a creature called human beings."

"Humanity?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, that is a group whose body shape is similar to our normal."

"Oh?"

……

In a daze, the hazy figure with his back to the sky bowed his head, as if he had heard something interesting.

The man kneeling on one knee looked up at His Majesty above. He described the scenery along the way in extremely vivid language, while the hazy figure above listened silently.

……

"Smith."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The temple is getting deserted."

"Your Majesty, everyone has joined the expeditionary force. Please be more patient. We will bring you what you want."

"Smith, do you also feel that this world is too boring for a moment?"

"Your Majesty, your glory will always shine on our people, from far and wide, how can there be such a thing as boring in this world?"

"Smith, are you afraid of me?"

"Your Majesty, we respect you, but we do not fear you."

"very good."

……

The melodious sound of wind chimes flowing like mountain spring water is conveyed deep in the palace.

The silent stone figure on the throne slowly stood up against the skylight above his head.

He overlooked the world and saw the endless flow of fate.

……

"Smith, in your eyes, what is fate?"

"Your Majesty, fate is there. It cannot be seen or touched, but it covers every choice we make. No one can escape the shackles of fate, because it drowns everything."

"Including me?"

"Your Majesty, of course you are not included! You are born above destiny, you are the writer of destiny, not the struggling ants beneath it."

"Smith, you'll never say anything but flattery."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

……

"Smith...Smith?"

"Your Majesty, the priest has joined the expedition."

"..."

"His Majesty?"

"Xuan Horus came to see me."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

……

This is a strange dream.

When Lu Mingfei woke up from half-dream and half-awake, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have had a dream. He tried hard to recall the details of the dream, but he could only think of a fragmented corner.
When Lu Mingfei woke up leisurely, the sky was getting dark outside the window.

The large fiery red cloud is reflected in Lake Chicago, as if the whole lake is burning, magnificent and spectacular.

The high-rise buildings in the distance reflect the red light of the setting sun, the birds are flying in groups on the lake, the sun wheel is slowly falling obliquely among the buildings in the city, and the whole world is covered with a layer of dim yellow color.

Erika had already woken up, there was the sound of running water in the bathroom, she seemed to be taking a bath.

Lu Mingfei got up slowly, came to the window, and stood silently.

He was still reminiscing about the dream just now.

This dream gave him a special feeling, like going back in memory. He remembered a long time ago and the past between them, but it was separated by a layer of tulle, like a white mist that was gradually filling in the fog. In one piece, there are only large expanses of blooming flowers and plants between the sky and the earth, and a familiar silhouette stands on the wilderness. Through the white mist, he vaguely saw the man kneeling on one knee, talking, but he couldn't hear clearly, and he couldn't see it clearly. The man's face is unclear, only the setting sun is slowly setting in the distance.

Some memories are like degaussed tapes. No matter how familiar the voice is, it will eventually become blurred in the gradually separated noise, and then become strange and far away.

Lu Mingfei raised his head slowly, the twilight in the sky was gradually sinking, and the summer night belonging to Chicago was coming.

He didn't like this feeling, this feeling of forgetting who and what.

"Smith..."

He whispered the name he heard in his dream, and the outline of a vague figure gradually emerged in the hazy white mist in his mind.

Erika wiped her hair and came from the bathroom. She had already changed into the batik dress that came with the courier. The blue and white background color looked like the sea and the sky. She turned around in front of the full-length mirror in the bedroom. I took a few circles to take photos, and nodded with satisfaction.

The shivering red dragon cub curled up under the bed climbed out cautiously and hugged the hostess' calf.

From just now, the little guy noticed the oppressive atmosphere in the room, and tactfully crawled under the bed.

Erika leaned over and picked up the little guy, and wiped its little paws with a towel.

Lu Mingfei quickly calmed down, suppressed the boredom in his heart, stretched his waist, and prepared to take a shower. After a while, it would be time for the task.

This task definitely needs temporary changes.

The other party has completely grasped their whereabouts, and there is no way to hide their tracks, so there is no need to sneak around, just go to the door openly, but I don't know if the other party has the guts to wait for them to visit at "home".

Lu Mingfei rinsed his body with cold water, and after a brief rinse, he came out wearing a towel.

"Wear this!" Erika held up the big batik underpants that came with the courier, her eyes were shining brightly, and she was full of smiles.

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a while. It doesn't seem awkward to wear big pants to go out in summer?

He took the underwear from Erika Yi's hand, changed it, and stood in front of the mirror to look at it. Not to mention, these two pieces still smelled like couple's clothes.

Before going out, Lu Mingfei looked at the little guy in Eliyi's arms.

Do you want to take this little guy out?
This is a problem.

But seeing Huiliyi holding the dragon cub and not letting go, Lu Mingfei shrugged, and it didn't matter, his wife likes to carry a pet out, so why don't you follow her?

They walked out of the guest room side by side and out of the hotel. A black car was waiting at the door for a long time.

Lu Mingfei opened the door and let Huiliyi get in the car first.

"Let's go, let's go directly." Lu Mingfei sat in the back seat and closed his eyes, and said calmly.

The black car started silently and drove into the continuous flow of traffic.

The last rays of the setting sun dissipated from the horizon, and the setting sun at the end of the city, which broke through the sea of ​​clouds, completely sank. Not far away, Chicago Lake also returned to silence.

The summer night belonging to this city has come completely.

　Hello everyone, 2023
