Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before Dragon Slaying

Chapter 1148 Everything Lu Mingfei Owns (Two in One, Please Subscribe!!!)

"Yes, brother." Lu Mingze whispered in a devilish voice, "Who else could it be except you?"

Yes, in this world, besides yourself, who else would feel so regretful, so hateful, and so eager to change a cowardly loser?
Because of regret, there is hatred; because of regret, there is hatred. The person a person hates the most in his life is definitely not others, but himself who once cowardly escaped and is now powerless.

Lu Mingfei looked at the face of the middle-aged man in the dream, his expression stunned, and the light in his eyes swayed slightly.

"Long time no see." The middle-aged Lu Mingfei turned his head, looked in the direction of Lu Mingfei, and greeted him softly, just like the first greeting Lu Mingze said when he saw Lu Mingfei.

It was as if he could really transcend time, space and dreams and have a conversation with Lu Mingfei.

But how could he see himself? The man was looking outside the pub, which should have been dark at that time.

He whispered into the darkness outside the pub, as if his former self was really standing there.

Lu Mingfei slowly moved closer, as if he wanted to get closer to the dream... To be more precise, he wanted to get closer to the man in the dream, to take a closer look at his blurry face in the candlelight, and to listen to what he was whispering.

At this moment, the owner of the izakaya, Kenjiro Miyamoto, happened to slowly approach the candle on the table. His lips trembled slightly, and the only light source in the izakaya went out.

At the same time, this dream was like a huge bubble. It did not suddenly darken, but the moment Lu Mingfei touched it, all the pictures and characters' faces shattered.

Fragments passed before Lu Mingfei's eyes, reflecting his familiar yet unfamiliar face in the fragments, until the room that Lu Mingfei was familiar with appeared in his sight again. A boy in a suit and tie stood in front of him, and their eyes met.

Lu Mingze stood in front of Lu Mingfei, looking at him, his eyes calm, as if he had been standing there staring at Lu Mingfei's face for a very long time, as long as thousands of years.

"What I saw just now..." Lu Mingfei was silent for a long time before he spoke in a low voice, but he only uttered six words and then stopped.

"It all really happened." Lu Mingze said slowly to Lu Mingfei, "He had contacted Miyamoto Kenjiro a long time ago, and he went there again the night you left the pub. He knew your whereabouts and deliberately avoided you because you would never meet."

"Will it cause things like time paradox?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"That's about right." Lu Mingze nodded and said, "To be precise, that's just the projection of your future self in this space. He can let people see what he looks like, but he can't see you in person. He can also influence other people's consciousness, but he can't touch anything in the real world."

"It's like... a ghost." Lu Mingfei whispered.

"It's quite similar." Lu Mingze nodded and said, "But that is indeed what your future brother looks like in reality. He can't affect the present, but to some extent he can interfere with the direction of some things, but what he can do is extremely limited."

"If he had the ability, I think the first thing he would do after traveling to the present would be to kill Herzog ten thousand times," Lu Mingze said, "before that guy becomes the White King."

"So in his world, he was unable to save Eri in the end, right?" Lu Mingfei asked Lu Mingze in a low voice.

"Yes, he went too late. When he arrived, Eri had already been sucked dry by Herzog." Lu Mingze nodded and said, "In the end, he used a quarter of his life and cooperated with Gattuso's 'Sword of Damocles' to kill Herzog, who had become the White King, but so what? Didn't he feel any regret for killing Herzog? Eri will never be resurrected. There are many things in life that cannot be changed. The most helpless, helpless and hopeless thing is the past that you regret the most."

Lu Mingfei was silent for a long time. He remembered how heartbroken he was when he read that passage in the dream.

He rushed to Hongjing, but he was too late, too late. All the blood in Eri's body had been drained. She was no longer beautiful, but hideous... The girl who was once so beautiful and loved him so much could no longer say a word, although she didn't talk much in the first place. Her eyes were empty and she would never look at him again. He opened the girl's toys, and their two names were written underneath. He flipped through the postcards the girl had collected one by one. The backs of the postcards recorded every place they had been to and what she wanted to say to him.

He lost a girl who loved him so much. In fact, it is not so much that he wanted to cut Herzog into pieces, but rather his cowardly and incompetent self.

"Why didn't he come to kill me?" Lu Mingfei once again looked at Huili calmly, then he grinned bitterly and asked Lu Mingze in a low voice.

"Maybe he really thought about it." Lu Mingze nodded and said, "But killing you is useless, brother. Old Tang will still die, Eri will also die, and Chu Tianjiao can't be saved. Everything he regretted and repented about is still unchangeable. It's better to change you fundamentally. Besides, I said, he doesn't have the ability to kill you directly."

"Is the story I read in my dream five years ago his real experience?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Well, he put everything about him into that story and sent it into your dream." Lu Mingze nodded.

"What if I finish reading the story and don't believe him at all, or if nothing changes?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Then this is your business, brother." Lu Mingze said softly, "He just provided you with a certain future direction. If you know this future and don't make any changes, then it's your business, brother. Of course, he will be disappointed, but he can't really interfere with you."

"Just now, you asked me why he wanted to kill Herzog instead of you." Lu Mingze paused, "If you are really so incompetent, don't you think that letting you go through all this is a greater punishment than killing you?"

This time, Lu Mingfei was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly.

Yes, Old Tang died, Xia Mi died, Eri died, and Senior Brother’s regrets were not made up… The important people in life left one after another. How regretful and painful should such a life be? How can people accept such a life? Isn’t this a greater and crueler punishment than death?
"I understand." Lu Mingfei forced a smile. "So he just gave me a chance, a chance to change the future. Whether I want to, can and should seize this opportunity is my own choice. If I read that story and have the determination to change the future, I may be able to save everyone and my own regretful life, but the probability is not high. If I make a wrong step, I will fall into the abyss again. But if I am unwilling to make changes from the beginning, the final outcome will definitely be a repeat of the same mistakes." "That's right, brother." Lu Mingze nodded and said, "I said, there is very little he can do."

"That's enough." Lu Mingfei shook his head and said softly, "I'm very grateful that he gave me this opportunity. I can't imagine how desperate I would be if my life was really like that."

"How can someone who has seen the sun be willing to look back at the mud?" Lu Mingze said softly, "But he has been walking in the mud all the time."

But he gave himself a chance, so now he has broken free from the mud... Lu Mingfei recalled the middle-aged man's eyebrows and eyes, and he suddenly understood. He felt that the face was familiar, not because he had the same facial features as himself, but because there was an indelible sense of decline in his expression, and he felt that the face was strange because he had thrown away those declines for a long time.

"You just said that people can't travel through time, so did you use your ability to help him come back?" Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered this and asked Lu Mingze.

Lu Mingfei recalled that Lu Mingze said that the middle-aged man was just a projection of his future self in the current real world. He could not affect things in reality itself, but could affect people's consciousness, which was similar to dreams... and this happened to be Lu Mingze's best ability.

"He did ask me for help." Lu Mingze paused, shook his head and said, "But it's not the me you see now, brother. It's another me."

"Another you?" Lu Mingfei was stunned. "Are you talking about your future self?"

“No.” Lu Mingze shook his head again and said something meaningful, “Whether it is the future, the present, or the past, I am me. My existence is special. I am not bound by factors such as time and space. My existence is fundamentally dependent on you, my brother.”

"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei was stunned. Lu Mingze's words were confusing. The doubt in his eyes became even stronger. "Then who do you mean by the other you?"

"Let's skip this topic, brother." Lu Mingze shook his head and looked at Lu Mingfei, "Let's go back to the original topic, so I ask your brother, do you feel happy now?"

"This is a life that is completely different from the one in the story and the original future. In this life, you knew everything from the beginning, and you also tried your best. Is everything you have now what you wanted?" Lu Mingze paused and changed the way he said it. "Or, are you really satisfied with everything you have fought for and kept now?"

"I..." Lu Mingfei was silent for a long time again. This time he was thinking carefully, recalling in his mind everything he had now.

Friends, teachers, family and lover, he really seems to have everything he lacks now.

"Yes, I've thought about it, and I'm very satisfied." Lu Mingfei nodded and said to Lu Mingze in a firm tone, "I can't think of anything else I want."

"What about strength?" Lu Mingze asked Lu Mingfei, "Brother, you should know that if you want, you can be as powerful as you want. Even the Dragon King can only crawl under you."

“No need.” Lu Mingfei shook his head. “I don’t have such a big pursuit and ambition for this thing, and I don’t need the Dragon King to crawl under me.”

Especially Xia Mi, otherwise what would Senior Brother think? Lu Mingfei complained in his heart.

"What about wealth?" Lu Mingze asked again, "We have so much money that we can't even spend in a lifetime. Brother, you can easily become a rich man who surpasses the richest man in the world."

"Money is something that loses its meaning when it reaches a certain amount." Lu Mingfei shook his head again and said, "For example, just like the sweet-scented osmanthus cake we bought for Eri from the stall downstairs just now, she could ask me for a lot, and it would be easy to buy her all the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in the stall, but if that were the case, for Eri, those sweet-scented osmanthus cakes would no longer be so delicious."

Lu Mingfei originally thought that if he said that, Lu Mingze would more or less say something back to him, sneer at him contemptuously, and say something like that humans are as despicable as always. But this time Lu Mingze didn't do that. There was no expression on his face, as if no matter how Lu Mingfei answered, he didn't care whether he was satisfied with the answer or not.

“What about power?” Lu Mingze asked immediately, “The highest throne in the world, standing above anyone’s head, overlooking everything, like a god.”

“I’m sorry, I’m really not interested in this. My middle school phase is over.” Lu Mingfei shook his head, “Now I just want to be a human being.”

"Where are your parents?" This was Lu Mingze's last question. He looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes and asked as if he was piercing the depths of his soul, "Brother, don't you want to see mom and dad again?"

This time Lu Mingfei was stunned, or to be more precise, he was frozen. His expression froze on his face for a long while, as if this question really touched a string deep in his nerves.

“I missed it very much before.” Lu Mingfei lowered his head, and his facial expression could not be seen. He spoke in a very low voice.

"You missed it a lot before, so you don't miss it now?" Lu Mingze asked calmly.

"Now... I still think about it." Lu Mingfei paused, "But not as much as before."

"Why?" Lu Mingze looked at Lu Mingfei and asked softly, "They came back to find you. Isn't this what you have always wanted, brother?"

"That's what I thought before. I wanted them to come back to find me, and I still want them to come back to find me now. But whether they come back or not is their business, and I can't control it." Lu Mingfei raised his head and restrained his expression. "One person cannot control the consciousness and behavior of others, even if that person is your parent. The only thing I can control is myself."

"Hmm?" This time, Lu Mingfei's words seemed to arouse some interest in Lu Mingze.

"I don't know where they went, and I don't know where to find them, so I can only wait for them to come to me. If they want to see me, they will come to me. If they don't want to see me, why should I go to see them?" Lu Mingfei asked in a very calm voice, "They can write to me and say that they miss me and love me very much, and I will miss them and love them too... but this longing and love is just that."
