Durin's Diary

Chapter 1082 Ming Danxin

Dulin remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.

In that instant, he remembered that night when a girl had said those words to him.

Let's escape to the ends of the earth.

But the ends of the earth are too far away, while you and I, who are willing to fight to the death, are too close.

In the next instant, he sidestepped the flying psionic dagger, and with his left hand, he drew a longsword from his own space. In silence, Dulin used the sword to block the dagger that was spinning in mid-air and cutting towards his neck. Then, he switched the longsword between his two hands and threw it at the girl.

The next second, Dulin took a running start, using his right leg as a pivot, turned around, and used his left leg as a whip to strike at the familiar stranger in front of him.

Having lost control of the dagger, the girl deflected the incoming longsword with her left hand, then turned to the side, using her right hand as a shield to parry Dulin's spinning whip kick.

The whip kick was powerful, and the girl took the opportunity to step back and turn around to dissipate the force.

Dulin landed lightly, his toes barely touching the ground as he turned to dodge the two palms that were pushing at him. At the same time, his long tail swept across, aiming straight for the girl's neck.

The latter nimbly stepped back two paces, then his hands transformed into withered vines, reaching for Dulin's long tail.

Dulin shattered the withered vine hand, landed smoothly, his long tail bouncing off the ground, and turned to continue attacking her with whip kicks.

The girl smiled and shook her hands, which then regenerated, simultaneously assuming a stance to block Dulin's whip kick.

She took two steps back, supporting Dulin's left ankle with her left hand and pushing it aside, while simultaneously turning her right hand into a fist and striking Dulin's waist.

However, in mid-air, Dulin grabbed her right wrist with his left hand, using it as a fulcrum to turn around in the air, accumulating kinetic energy while his long tail whipped towards her head.

The girl vanished from Dulin's perception in an instant. The next second, she reappeared about half a meter away from her previous position. As she dodged Dulin's attack, she took a step back, clenched her left fist, and struck out again with lightning speed.

Dulin landed at that moment, using his right hand as a palm to deflect the punch aimed at his face to the left. At the same time, his left hand changed from a grip to a clasp, grabbing her left wrist, while his right hand followed up with an elbow strike to her side ribs.

This attack sent the girl flying into the air, and Dulin slammed her to the ground behind him. As her petite body bounced up, Dulin's long tail swirled around her as she spun around.

The attack failed to land properly; the shattered entity was merely a phantom.

From the void, a fist shot out and landed on Dulin's waist.

The girl who emerged from the void stretched out her arms, grabbed Dulin's left leg, and flung him sideways against the wall.

Adjusting his position in space, Dulin and the girl exchanged kicks in mid-air as the flying kick came at him.

The high-speed strike produced a cracking sound in the air.

Under the interaction of forces, Dulin landed safely, rolled to dissipate the force, got up, leaned back to avoid the sweeping long leg, and his long tail curled towards the long leg.

The girl in front of me disappeared once again.

Dulin turned around and kicked out from behind, forcing back the two fists that were coming at her. The follow-up long tail hit her face.

With a smooth landing, Dulin reached out his right hand and grabbed her left wrist. This time, the dimensional anchor was directly imprinted on her wrist.

The next second, Dulin pulled a dagger from his private space.

This was a gift from Melinda to him.

He held the dagger upside down, pulled her into his arms, and stabbed her in the chest.

The tip of the dagger pierced through her back. "I'm still the same as before, I can't beat you." She smiled, sighed, and then turned to ashes in front of Dulin.

Dulin stared silently at the dagger in the ashes, and finally picked it up.

"All staff are requested to leave the research center. This building is en route to a star and will enter a no-escape zone in ten minutes."

The research center's AI is issuing warnings.

Dulin opened the portal in silence.

In the instant he killed Director Sun, he completed his promotion and irreversibly became a completely new anonymous person.

In that instant, Dulin understood many things, such as why he had forgotten what she looked like, and why Director Sun had chosen him to replace her as the savior.

Unfortunately, it was all too late.

Well, as someone once said, what is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force.

Thinking of this, the moment they stepped through the portal, what appeared before Luo Xiangguo and the girl was a Zhulong with long silver hair, fine scales on its long tail, and long silver mane.

"You are..." Luo Xiangguo looked at Du Lin in disbelief. He should have recognized Du Lin, but the fact that he was an anonymous person made it impossible for him to say Du Lin's name.

"Is this the new Mr. Anonymous?" Director Sun, disguised as a young girl, greeted him with a smile.

Dulin smiled and, as if by magic, produced a cane. The cane was old and mottled, but it had a dazzling ruby ​​on it.

Robert gave this walking stick to Dulin, and now Dulin has made a copy of it.

"Walk with me for a bit," Dulin said.

Director Sun nodded and began to accompany him to stroll through the night market.

The night was long, and she walked beside Dulin, looking him over: "You've defeated my future self once again, haven't you?"

“Yes.” Dulin nodded, then looked at her in front of him: “I defeated you, and I also remembered you.”

“You’re different from them, which I find strange. You haven’t uttered a single line that I recognize since you arrived,” she sighed, then extended her hand to Dulin. “We haven’t seen each other in a long time, Dulin.”

“I know, it’s been a long, long time. I still remember the first time we met when we were kids. I saw you sitting in your family’s car coming to the tower. You were carrying two big suitcases.”

“My father was always afraid that I would not live a good life. In his view, having a wealthy life would be beneficial to his daughter’s future.”

Dulin listened to her complaints.

He felt as if he had returned to that summer, before that night, when she was just like that, and he followed her, listening to her sighs and complaints.

“If I remember correctly, I said that before,” she said.

Du Lin nodded.

“Back then, I was a foolish child, naively complaining to you without ever thinking about what I could do besides complaining. In the end, I heeded my father’s call and returned to that home.” At this point, she turned to Dulin and said, “I really regret it, but what’s done is done. Dulin, can you hug me just once? At least, so that when I die again, I can still feel your heartbeat.”

Faced with this request, Dulin ultimately chose to agree.

He opened his arms and embraced her.
