Chapter 430 The Story of Dragon Bird

Longque had a dream, in which his life was torn apart.

In fact, many years later, when he looked back on the past, he always felt that people had many wrong interpretations of him. The most important misunderstandings were concentrated on his personality. He found that many people believed that he was born with strong energy and aura. He was considered to be a lone wolf walking alone in the wind and snow, a sword that constantly sharpened itself, stubborn and tough, never compromising.

But in fact he is not like this, he is not that powerful.

Never.

In fact, he was just an ordinary little boy at first. He was born in a coastal city in the north, in an ordinary working-class family. His parents were both researchers who dedicated themselves to the country.

His parents were the kind of people who made money to support the family through academic research, but it was not clear that they had made any real contribution to science. They were more like the kind of people who made money by applying for research funding through projects. There were quite a few such people in the national system, and he only realized this later.

His father is a bit of a nerd and his research area is astronomy.

According to my mother, my father did not make any significant contribution in academia. He was just a small clerk among the researchers all his life, but he had wild dreams.

Because my father always claimed that he had seen aliens.

When Longque learned about this, he was extremely excited, because he had loved science fiction since he was a child. He had read the novel "The Three-Body Problem" many times and had also watched many related movies. When he had nothing to do, he liked to look up at the stars with a telescope at home with his sister.

But every time I asked my father about aliens, he always hesitant and unable to answer.

My sister often said that my father was just bragging when he said he had seen aliens, and that he was probably just like those people in the program "Science Approaches", and most likely he had some kind of hysteria.

Compared to his parents, his sister is the one he admires more.

Because my sister is undoubtedly a genius. She is the kind of person who is born with strong energy and aura. When she was in kindergarten, she could command a group of younger brothers to run around and manage the order in the class on behalf of the teacher. She was also very comfortable when learning some knowledge occasionally. When she was five years old, she could remember more than 4,000 English words, perform function calculations, and recite ancient poems. She was even a child prodigy who appeared in newspapers that year.

But in fact, Longque knew that his sister's level was far more than that.

My sister learns through the Internet and has a terrifying amount of knowledge.

There are many questions that my sister can answer that my parents cannot answer.

For example, the Riemann hypothesis, Fermat's Last Theorem, etc.

In fact, it is because of my sister that my parents are able to succeed among researchers.

Because everyone thinks that since they can educate their daughter so well, the parents must be highly educated.

But no one knows that many of my parents’ research results were inspired by my sister.

On the other hand, Longque is just an ordinary child.

To this day, he still remembers those years when he lay on the big bed in his bedroom watching superhero movies while his sister sat quietly reading a foreign language book whose name he couldn't even read at the desk next to him. Outside the room, he could hear his parents arguing about whether to buy a fuel car or a new energy car.

That was his childhood.

Although our family conditions are pretty good, every family has its own problems.

For example, my father has a younger brother who is involved in prostitution, gambling and drugs. He is still a frequent visitor to the police station in his forties. When he has nothing to do, he comes home to harass his brother and asks my grandfather for money.

Every time, my father couldn't just sit there and do nothing, so he had to give the money and let the matter go.

Whenever their mother found out about this, the two would fight.

But my mother is not much better. I don't know when she became obsessed with financial management. She always likes to invest with friends who claim to have inside information, and often loses all her money.

But the amazing thing is that although these two people quarreled, they never thought about divorce over the years.

In my sister's words, ordinary people's lives are so chaotic.

We are all ordinary people and we make the same mistakes that ordinary people make.

Later, the brother and sister went to elementary school.

Longque was very happy. He felt that going to school was a very interesting thing. Not only could he make new friends, but he could also play football on the playground. At that time, his hobby was playing football and his dream was to become a great player like Cristiano Ronaldo.

He was very happy when he stood there wearing a red scarf and attended the entrance ceremony with his classmates.

The first day of school went smoothly and Longque got along well with the teachers and classmates.

He is in Class Three and his sister is in Class Six.

But after school that day, my sister seemed very unhappy.

He asked, but his sister's answer was unexpected.

My sister said she thought people in school were as stupid as monkeys.

She didn't want to be with a group of monkeys.

My sister thinks that the school’s teaching method is meaningless. It is just a formulaic method of selecting children with better learning abilities and sending them to other places to start a new cycle.

Its purpose is to solve some social problems.

For individuals, the value is not high.

Many people end up going to the factory earlier to screw screws.

But many people are unwilling to go to the factory to screw screws.

His sister said that there was no possibility for him to become the football player he dreamed of, and if his life was not interfered with, he would only have two choices in the end.

Either give up yourself or give up your dignity.

At that time, he didn't understand what it meant, but he felt that his sister seemed to have changed a little.

Getting a little... cold.

A year later, my sister skipped six grades and was going to junior high school.

That day my sister said she wanted to stay away from the monkeys.

Longque said sadly that in his sister's eyes he was also a monkey.

At that time, my sister's eyes softened a little, and she bent down and touched her head.

You are not a monkey, you are my brother.

My sister said at the time: "I can protect you, you just need to be an ordinary person. But don't be a loser like mom, who worked hard for half her life, but just heard some financial news and her savings were swept away. Of course, don't be like dad, who got something by taking advantage of the times, but regarded it as what he deserved. Oh, you won't understand even if I say too much, just don't be like them, who are hysterical and don't even know it."

Long Que really didn’t understand at the time: “Then what kind of ordinary person should I be?”

My sister thought about it at the time: "Be an ordinary person who is happy and real."

Longque asked again: "What kind of life do you want to live, sister?"

My sister didn't answer.

That was the first time Longque saw confusion in her eyes.

Longque often felt that his sister was a transcendent person.

He saw through the laws of the world at a very young age and also had extraordinary talents.

No matter how hard Longque tried, he couldn't even see her shadow.

But his sister always took good care of him. When he was bullied in the school football team, she would come to his aid, carrying a broom and beating those much older students to run everywhere. Sometimes his sister would come to watch his training, holding a tablet computer and staying there for an entire afternoon. When she was bored, she would come over to kick a few balls with him, and her bicycle dribbling was hundreds of times more beautiful than his. In the end, his sister took him home by the hand, and the two of them walked under the shade of the maple tree, their backs stretched out by the setting sun.

The peaceful days passed one by one.

My parents were always arguing, but my salary did increase a lot.

My sister also kept skipping grades and became the youngest high school student in the country.

Longque also worked very hard. Although his academic performance was average, he won the first place in the city's elementary school cup competition with his team and was awarded the MVP in the final.

That day, he looked at the blue sky and felt for the first time that he had seen the future. He felt like the omnipotent Monkey King, who was about to fly across the sea to the other side of the ocean.

But when he returned home with the certificate, a group of uninvited guests came.

The man's name is Lu Zhe and the woman's name is An Xian.

There is also an old professor with a black face who looks like Sha Wujing.

They came to investigate my father.

At first, Long Que thought that his father's academic fraud had been discovered. After all, his sister always said that his papers were full of nonsense and loopholes, which made sense.

But those people were not there to fight, but to investigate aliens.

In his early years, my father always claimed that he had seen aliens, and his papers in recent years have been about investigating the feasibility of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, but he could not explain what happened back then. He just saw some unexplainable phenomena when he passed through Siberia in Russia on his honeymoon and was unconscious for a whole day and night. That was all.

After the investigators confirmed the father's statement, they conducted a simple sampling survey.

Then ask the parents to go to the hospital for a physical examination together.

The results of the physical examination were all normal.

The investigators were puzzled by this.

Until my sister came home.

When the investigators saw my sister, their expressions changed.

But those investigators did not do anything to my sister. There was no so-called physical examination or interrogation process. They just said hello and left in a hurry.

Another year passed and my sister fell ill.

The cause is cancer.

brain cancer.

a bolt from the blue.

Cancer is not such a serious burden for our family.

Because it is discovered early, and with insurance and other factors, treatment can be afforded.

But my sister's illness seemed to be a bottomless pit.

No matter how many times I received treatment, there was no improvement.

At this time, the investigators showed up and claimed to be from a technology company.

Aurora Technologies.

There was also a man accompanying them, and everyone called him Doctor.

Aurora Technology said they could cure her sister's disease, but the price was that she had to leave the city and go to the United States to receive gene optimization treatment and follow-up medical programs.

All free.

The parents certainly had no reason to refuse. They could sell all their assets as long as their daughter's illness could be cured, not to mention that the other party offered free services.

The only concern is whether the other party is a liar.

But after Aurora Technology stated that the entire treatment process can be monitored, parents can rest assured.

Back then, Longque didn't want to leave his sister, but he didn't have any say.

He also knew that this was the only way for his sister to survive.

He was just frustrated.

He just couldn't do anything.

The day his sister left, he felt the sky was so gloomy, the crows standing on the telephone poles were so harsh, and the future that was within reach suddenly became far away, as far as the horizon.

"Remember the promise we made." The sister still touched his head before leaving.

Longque was strong and didn't cry.

But since then he has never played football on the playground again, nor has he participated in the school team's training again. As a result, he was scolded and criticized by the physical education teacher.

But he didn't care at all.

Most adults are arrogant and tend to only see the surface of things without delving into the deeper reasons. Therefore, they are always unable to solve the problem and always regret it many years later.

Longque didn’t want to play football, but he suddenly lost his love for football.

He suddenly realized that what really supported him to run on the football field was not his love for the sport, but sitting under the shade of a tree for an entire afternoon just to wait for his sister. And the reason why he trained so hard was not because he was working so hard, but just because he wanted his sister to play with him for a while.

At that time, Longque was already the main force of the team and would not be bullied.

But looking back, he was actually happier during the time when he was bullied.

Because his sister will help him.

Longque is often the focus of attention because he has a very famous sister.

People always ask him if he is jealous of such an outstanding sister.

Longque is never jealous.

He just hoped that his sister would look back at him when she walked away.

My sister did exactly that.

Growth is actually a process of upgrading and fighting monsters all the way, but some people are born with six pieces of equipment and full skills, and they can go a long way to defeat demons and monsters, but some people start with a broken stick, don’t have any skills, and are so clumsy that they can’t even beat a small monster and can only cry on the spot.

But this is not the cruelest part of this game.

The real cruelty of this game lies in the fact that those who have gone very far will never come back to walk the same path again, even if they have been through thick and thin with you.

They will have new companions, form new teams, and fight new levels.

And you are like the NPC in the mission, and you are lucky to appear in the memory.

But my sister is different.

No matter how far away she went, her sister would come back to see him.

Not only will she help him to exorcise demons, but she will also bring him new equipment, teach him the skills he has just learned, tell him how to proceed in the future, and cheer him up.

Now that my sister is gone, nothing is good.

But Longque knew that they would not be separated forever.

As long as the disease is cured, they will meet again.

Before that, he just had to be patient and wait.

Make yourself a better person, maybe you can protect your sister in the future.

Longque returned to the school team and studied harder. He tried to read the notes left by his sister and learn the knowledge she left behind bit by bit, wanting to be closer to her.

These things are hard for him.

But he kept trying.

During that period, my parents often went to the United States to visit my sister.

Until the third year, my parents never went there again.

When Longque tried to question her sister, they acted indifferent.

It was as if all the feelings for my sister had disappeared.

He doesn't even mention his sister's existence on weekdays.

Long Que felt like his world had collapsed. He questioned his parents like crazy but never got any response. His sister seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and no trace of her could be found anymore. Aurora Technology also disappeared without a trace and there was no information about her on the Internet.

Longque was only ten years old at that time. He had no independent financial ability. He didn't have a passport and couldn't get a visa, so it was impossible for him to go to North America alone to find his sister.

At his most desperate moment, he even thought about walking to the United States.

But that's impossible.

What kind of despair is that?

Long Que didn't know that when he was walking on the bustling streets after school one day, with cars and neon lights flashing on the streets and tall buildings reaching deep into the clouds, he suddenly felt cold.

The world was not as beautiful as he expected. The future that was once within reach had been shattered. The road ahead was dark and difficult to move forward. He was stuck in the mud and could not move forward. No matter how he struggled, he could only spit out the foul air in his chest and continue to live a mediocre life.

Fate is the most powerful magic in the world, which can make everyone fall apart.

He was so hateful and so angry.

How he wanted to be omnipotent so that he could break through the mud of life, cross the chasm of reality to come to his sister and tell her that she has not been abandoned and she still has me.

But the fact is that he can only stay in the Second Experimental Primary School of Sifang District as a primary school student, wearing the same school uniform every day and lining up with his classmates to do exercises.

This is what he should do at his age, but he doesn't like it.

He finally understood what his sister had said.

When the fire is burning in your heart.

When you really want to change something.

What you are doing now is meaningless.

You have to break free.

But the dragon bird is not a dragon feather.

A brother is not a sister.

Longque thought he would never be able to do it in his lifetime.

Until one day, he received a text message on his mobile phone.

No sender.

Just two simple words and a punctuation mark.

"help me."

·
·
Longque didn't have any evidence, but he knew that the text message came from his sister.

Something happened to my sister.

That text message completely changed him and made him into a different person.

If it weren't for that message, he himself wouldn't have thought that he had such great potential. If it weren't for that message, he wouldn't have known that only when he had something in his heart could he become as omnipotent as the Monkey King and break through the cage.

He spent two years learning the knowledge left in his sister's notes.

This learning speed is much slower than that of my sister.

But he has far surpassed his peers.

He finished high school at the age of twelve and was successfully admitted to Stanford University in San Francisco, USA. This was a route he had planned in advance in order to get closer to the mysteriously disappeared Aurora Technology and the so-called genetic optimization project.

During his four years in college, he was admitted to the Computer Science Department, was appreciated by the dean of the department, joined many clubs, and expanded his network of contacts, but he still could not find any trace of Aurora Technology, nor any information about the genetic optimization project.

But he was not without gain.

Because he did find some clues.

Although Aurora Technology disappeared, he found many suspected traces of their activities, investigations into extraterrestrial civilizations, and even rumors about God.

He also found many cancer patients and visited and investigated them secretly.

Longque exercised day after day and mastered a variety of fighting skills. He used his scholarship to purchase guns through legal channels and trained shooting at the shooting range.

He transformed himself into an agent and secretly infiltrated many companies.

The closer he got to high society, the closer he found himself to Aurora.

Behind the high society.

The man behind the scenes controlling the world.

There is a hint of conspiracy.

Until one day, he heard about the technology of neural simulation.

A game called "Pure Land" is about to be released.

Longque didn't quite believe that a game could have such a great influence that more than a hundred countries around the world would work hard to promote it, even if it could create a so-called second world through neural simulation.

Because he smelled the scent of disaster from the intelligence he obtained through special channels.

Therefore, he stole a virtual helmet in advance through his own means, and after a day and a night of research, he extracted a kind of insect that he had never seen before from it.

That kind of insect seems to have the ability to stop time.

That afternoon, a piece of news caught his attention.

Aurora Technology, which has disappeared for many years, has reappeared in the public eye.

But Longque didn't expect that Aurora Technology would play such a big game this time, screening people all over the world in the form of games, allowing them to gain extraordinary abilities.

When they woke up from the cocoon again, the earth had entered the end of the world.

After waking up, Longque also gained extraordinary abilities. As a person who knows the cause and effect of everything, he keenly realized that all this should be related to the incident when his sister was taken away.

He was certain that his sister was still alive in this world.

Everything he had investigated so far had been confirmed.

Then next, he's heading to the North Pole.

Travel to the depths of Siberia.

Go to the place where your parents encountered aliens.

Find out the truth about all this.

The doomsday world was very suitable for him, because he had killed the weak little boy and made himself strong in an almost cruel way. He became a lone walker in the ruins, traveling through broken cities and witnessing many joys and sorrows.

There were several times when he himself almost died.

It was a long and lonely journey.

If you want to break through the cage of fate, you need not only the determination to break through everything, but also the endurance of loneliness that ordinary people cannot endure. Sometimes when you come to your senses, your increasingly numb heart is so painful that when you look in the mirror again, you will feel that the person reflected in the mirror is a little strange.

He is still stuck in the quagmire.

Even though he almost drowned many times, he never gave up struggling.

Until one day, Longque met a man.

That person's name was Lu Buer.
