The rocket hit Odin again, but Lu Mingfei knew that this thing could not kill an enemy of that level, and he was not sure if it could even stop him slightly. He just hoped that this broken car that Finkel found from somewhere could be more powerful and would not break down halfway.
Finkel stepped on the accelerator, and the engine of Renault Laguna roared onto the highway. The body of the car was shaking as it ran wildly on the road in the heavy rain.
A huge black shadow could be vaguely seen in the smoke, and the other party did not seem to be chasing them. After dozens of seconds, the black shadow disappeared completely, but Lu Mingfei still did not dare to relax. After a few minutes, they had sped several kilometers on the highway. Lu Mingfei finally got in through the sunroof, leaned on the rotten backrest of the co-pilot, and gasped heavily.
"What are you doing here so late at night?"
"How did you know we were here?"
At the same time, both the driver and the co-pilot asked questions at the same time.
"You speak first."
"You speak first."
They both answered at the same time.
"Lu Mingfei asks first, and Finkel answers first." Nuonuo in the back seat acted as the referee. She also had a lot of questions to ask this guy who suddenly appeared.
"Damn, is this fair? You youngsters ganged up to bully our senior? You treat your savior like this?" Finkel complained dissatisfiedly, but still answered honestly, "I installed a GPS in my skirt, so it's easy to find you."
"Fuck!" Nono cursed. She opened her skirt and saw a piece of metal half the size of a fingernail. This must be the GPS that Finkel mentioned.
Nuonuo's face looked quite ugly, and he almost wanted to kill Finkel.
"Let me make it clear in advance that I haven't looked under your skirt. I am a gentleman, you have to believe me." Finkel proved himself.
Chapter 968 The Erased Chu Zihang
"A man? A gentleman?" Nuonuo laughed coldly in the back seat, "I don't believe that a stray dog is so hungry that it would not want to eat a few bites of shit on the roadside."
"Although I'm not a stray dog, it's not appropriate for you to compare yourself to shit on the roadside, Junior Sister." Finkel smoked a cigar while driving. "Although you're a little old, your personality is a little bad, and your figure is a little flat...but you have a nice face and sexy thighs, there must be someone who wants you."
"Fin dog, are you looking for death?" Nuonuo grabbed Fingel's throat tightly from the back seat. The force was so great that veins on Fingel's neck bulged. It looked like he was going to kill him.
"Ahem... I was wrong, I was wrong, Junior Sister... If you don't let go, I'm going to strangle you to death!" Finkel patted Nono's arm to show his surrender, and while coughing, the cigar smoke in his mouth came out.
"Brother, can you please not smoke cigars in the car?" Lu Mingfei waved his hand to disperse the cigarette and said with a hint of disdain, "There are patients in the car, can you please show some public morality?"
"By the way, who is that woman in the back?" Finkel threw his cigar out of the window, looked at Su Xiaoyan in the back seat through the rearview mirror, and asked curiously, "This girl... this lady looks quite attractive. Isn't she your former lover, Ming Fei?"
"Don't talk nonsense here, this is my brother's mother!" Lu Mingfei glared at Finger fiercely, "Let my brother know that you will suffer the consequences!"
"Senior Brother?" Finkel raised his eyebrows.
“Yeah… Damn it!” Lu Mingfei suddenly jumped up from his seat, as if he suddenly remembered something important. “I started to feel something was wrong when I got on the car, as if something had fallen. Now I finally remembered… Senior Brother, we left him in the hospital!”
Finkel and Nono glanced at the rearview mirror at the same time. They exchanged silent glances in the mirror, their eyes full of confusion and vigilance, but no one spoke.
"Stop the car, stop the car, I have to go pick up my brother!" Lu Mingfei urged Finkel.
"Um, junior brother, who do you think I am?" Finkel asked in a low voice.
“Fin Dog, the paparazzi leader of Kassel College, the source of all evil on the Night Watch Forum, an unscrupulous fan fiction author…” Lu Mingfei subconsciously recited a long list of derogatory titles. “If you want to know your name… Fingel von Frings, I remember this is your full name.”
"We've been in the same dormitory for two years. Thank you for remembering my full name." Finkel coughed twice. "I mean, besides being your roommate, I'm seven years older than you. What should you call me?"
“Useless Senior Brother, why do you keep talking nonsense to me?” Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes, “Quickly stop the car, if you keep driving I won’t be able to find the way over!”
"Take away the word 'useless'. I am just your senior brother!" Finkel patted the steering wheel. "Your senior brother is right in front of you. Who are you going back to the hospital to find?"
“Look for Chu Zihang. You’re not my only senior brother!” Lu Mingfei said anxiously. “We ran away and left Chu Zihang there. Senior brother is so loyal to me. I promised him that I would accompany him to deal with Odin. I can’t leave him alone there!”
"Chu Zihang..." Finkel glanced at the rearview mirror and exchanged glances with Nono quietly.
"I say, what's wrong with you guys? You flirted with me several times behind my back. Did you think I didn't notice?" Lu Mingfei was really angry. "Are you hiding something from me? I want to save Chu Zihang. Do you have any objections? I can understand that Finger is afraid of death, but when did you become such a disloyal person?"
Nuonuo wanted to say something but didn't say it. Instead, he leaned back in the back seat with a frown on his face.
"No, Junior Brother, if you want to be loyal, we all support you. I, Finger, always put loyalty first when I travel the world." Finger paused, and then said something that made Lu Mingfei stunned on the spot, "But this Chu Zihang you are talking about... who the hell is he?"
Lu Mingfei was stunned.
"Brother, if you want to save people, I won't stop you. Although I look like a coward, I also understand brotherhood at the critical moment. Otherwise, I wouldn't have driven to find you. But you suddenly said you wanted to save a name we didn't know." Finkel's tone became serious for once. "That's Odin. He looks scary. We don't know if we will die there. We are all in this car, and we are going to die for a stranger, Chu Zihang. Do you think it's worth it?"
"Chu Zihang... I don't know him..." Lu Mingfei's expression became a little strange, "You said you don't know Chu Zihang?"
"It's not surprising that I don't know Chu Zihang. This is the city where you live. My hometown is in Germany. Not to mention Chu Zihang, there may be people named Li Zihang and Chen Zihang here. I have to know them all, right?" Finkel drove with one hand and fiddled with the old-fashioned car music switch with the other hand. "Is that your senior from Shilan Middle School? I don't know him very well, but if he is an ordinary person, don't hold out too much hope. We already have a burden here. If there is another one, no one may be able to escape."
Lu Mingfei opened his mouth but didn't say anything. It wasn't because he had nothing to say, but because he had so many things to say that he didn't know where to start.
Chu Zihang is indeed his senior at Shilan Middle School, but he is also his senior at Kassel College. They are all from Kassel College, so why is he pretending not to know each other?
Would he, Finger, not know Chu Zihang? Would Nuonuo not know Chu Zihang? Even if they didn't know Einstein, they should know Chu Zihang!
"Don't joke, this is not funny at all. I'm serious. My brother and I went into the hospital together. We went to look for his mother's ward separately, but I never saw him." Lu Mingfei's expression was serious. "I can't let him face Odin alone. You know, this is what I decided five years ago. I must shoulder this matter with him. He needs me. If I run away now and leave him alone there, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
Some regrets cannot be washed away by time, not even a lifetime, just like when Chu Zihang once left his father alone on an overpass on a rainy night.
"Listen, Junior Brother, I'm not kidding you. I really don't know Chu Zihang, and I've never heard of this name. You don't have to doubt my memory. I'm a paparazzi, and it's impossible for a paparazzi to not remember people's names!" Finkel also shouted seriously, "Even if I just saw him once in the newspaper, I should remember him, but I really don't know Chu Zihang. You suddenly said something about going back to save someone I don't know. I can't agree with you no matter what you say. I can't watch you go to die. Do you know that if you are not kidding me, you can go to the psychiatric department. Maybe you just hurt your brain in the battle with Odin!"
"You're the one who's hurting your brain!" Lu Mingfei suddenly roared, a rare moment of genuine anger. "You said you didn't know Chu Zihang. Then who is the president of the Lionheart Club? Who is Xia Mi's boyfriend? Who is my partner in your novel? And who is Ukyo Tachibana? Senior Brother was not bad to you either. We were born and died together in Japan. How can you say such things? Are you still a human being?"
"The Lionheart Club's president is currently vacant, and the interim president is Lancelot. Xia Mi has never had a boyfriend. When you first entered the academy, everyone kept spreading rumors about you two. I was the one who orchestrated it back then. In my novels, your partner is sometimes Caesar, sometimes Qilan, and sometimes I'll sacrifice myself for clicks." Finkel shook his head repeatedly. "As for Ukyo Tachibana... I don't know her. I've never heard of such a stupid name."
Finkel was also a little annoyed, throwing out answers to the questions one by one. The car's audio system seemed to be broken, and the music could not be played. There was only the sound of heavy rain and loud engine noise outside, which was very annoying.
“You’re looking for death, aren’t you? Finkel, are you looking for death!” Lu Mingfei roared angrily, his facial features twisted, scary and ferocious, “You and I have a good relationship, but Senior Brother and I also have a good relationship. Apart from Eri, he’s the best to me. I don’t want and won’t allow you to insult him like this. I’ll say this one last time, stop the car!”
"Who did I insult?" Finkel also shouted, his voice somewhat innocent, "It's on the highway, not your parking lot, how can you ask me to park!"
Lu Mingfei reached out to grab Finkel's steering wheel. It was obvious that he was really angry. In the two years he had been rooming with Finkel, no matter how shameless and shameless Finkel was, he had never really lost his temper like this.
"Lu Mingfei, calm down!" Nuo Nuo pressed Lu Mingfei's shoulder, "If you have anything to say, just talk it over. Don't use force."
"Talk nicely, how can I talk nicely?" Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at Nuonuo, "Didn't you hear what this guy said? He said he didn't know Chu Zihang and didn't remember anything about Chu Zihang, as if there was no such person as Chu Zihang in this world. There should be a limit to joking and playing tricks on people, right? What if Chu Zihang is in danger?"
Gradually, Lu Mingfei's angry expression turned into dullness, even fear, because he could not see a trace of recognition on Nuo Nuo's face.
Nuonuo looked at him with a very strange, even peculiar look, as if she didn't agree with what he said at all, as if Chu Zihang shouldn't exist.
"Senior Sister..." Lu Mingfei spoke, with a hint of fear in his voice.
"I'm sorry, Lu Mingfei, in my memory, what Finger said is also right." Nuo Nuo looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes and said in an extremely serious tone, "I have never heard of Chu Zihang either."
A huge fear instantly enveloped Lu Mingfei. He opened his eyes wide, and his look was as blank as a child, as if he had made up a poor story and was exposed by the other children.
“Impossible, impossible… What are you doing? Did you discuss this? Today is not April 1st! Now is not the time for pranks!” Lu Mingfei suddenly looked at Eri, as if grasping at the last straw. “Eri, they lied to me, but you must remember my brother, right?”
"I'm sorry, Sakura." Facing Lu Mingfei's desperate eyes, Eiry slowly shook her head, her eyes full of worry as she looked at Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei fell down in the passenger seat, his whole body was paralyzed. The battle with Odin just now had not made him so tired. At this moment, he was like a rotten ball with the air sucked out of it.
Is there anything worse than this?
Chu Zihang lost his father, he lost his senior brother Ye Sheng, and now in order to rescue Chu Zihang's mother, he lost Chu Zihang himself.
Is there anything more ridiculous than this?
Wait a minute, Chu Tianjiao, Ye Sheng, Chu Zihang... A strange light flashed in Lu Mingfei's eyes, as if he suddenly thought of something.
"Lu Mingfei, when you were arguing with Finkel just now, I had an idea." Nuo Nuo suddenly spoke.
"Senior brother... I mean Chu Zihang, is he trapped in Nibelungen?" Lu Mingfei said slowly.
"You thought of it too?" Nuonuo's eyes moved.
"This is the only reason I can think of. Otherwise, I have level 10 paranoia and imagined a person named Chu Zihang." Lu Mingfei shook his head. "But those experiences were too real, without any flaws. I don't think it's possible for me to make up such a complete memory for myself."
"I remember that we previously deduced that Odin's ability is to modify reality, so it's not abnormal that Chu Zihang you mentioned was erased." Nono nodded and said, "After all, if there really is such a person, his existence is really too much of an eyesore for Odin."
"If there is such a person, Senior Brother is a real person." Lu Mingfei corrected very strictly. He suddenly looked at Eri and asked, "Remember, Eri, we met Odin in the room full of books and newspapers last night. Who saw Odin in the mirror? Is it you or me?"
"I didn't see it...but Sakura didn't seem to see it either." Eri thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, so she could only shake her head.
“Look, if it was just Eri and I at that time, and no one saw Odin, how could we infer that the enemy this time was Odin?” Lu Mingfei snapped his fingers. “The traces left by a person’s deeds in this world are like a spider web. It cannot be easily erased. Even if those spider-web-like veins are cut off, if we follow the original trajectory, we can always find some contradictory evidence.”
"We went to the hospital just to save this woman?" Nuonuo looked at Su Xiaoyan who was sleeping soundly, "So she is Chu Zihang's mother, right?"
"Yes, the two people in the world who have the deepest relationship with her are now trapped by Odin." Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth and added quickly, "Oh, I'm sorry, Uncle Lu, I didn't say that you are not important in Aunt Su's heart."
"In this case, I suggest you don't go back to the hospital." Nono said, "We don't even have information about how to enter Nibelungen, not to mention that it's too much of a stretch to take a woman with no fighting power to fight against an enemy like Odin."
Chapter 969: Traces of Chu Tianjiao
"Your senior sister is right, Junior Brother. We finally managed to escape. It's too dangerous to go back now. It's like throwing yourself into a tiger's mouth." Finkel also nodded and advised Lu Mingfei, "We must think about this matter carefully."
Lu Mingfei thought about it and felt that what Nuonuo and Finkel said made sense. It was not because they were afraid of danger and did not go to save Chu Zihang, but because they had no way to enter Nibelungen, and Odin might not stay there waiting for them. What's more, Su Xiaoyan was in the car now. If they wanted to find Chu Zihang, they had to at least send his mother to a safe place first.
"Okay, let's avoid it for the time being, but I must save my brother." Lu Mingfei nodded. He was very worried about Chu Zihang's safety, but there was no point in worrying in vain.
However, Lu Mingfei also believed in Chu Zihang's ability. After the "Dragon Blood Baptism", his senior brother's strength also improved by leaps and bounds. Just now, it took only a few minutes for him and his senior brother to separate in the hospital until Odin showed up. In such a short time, the probability of Odin killing him was very small.
And if the senior brother had already met with a murderous attack, why would Odin go to the trouble of using his power to erase the senior brother's existence?
As long as we find a way to enter Nibelungen, there will be a breakthrough in everything... If we can't find Nibelungen, then we will wait for Odin to come in person, just like what happened in the hospital just now. Without Su Xiaoyan, I can fight freely.
But who was Odin attacking this time? Chu Zihang? Su Xiaoyan? Or...
"By the way, where did you steal this antique car?" Nono in the back seat suddenly asked Finkel.
"What do you mean by stealing? What do you mean by stealing? I'm borrowing openly." Finkel retorted, "Can't you see that the car keys are all here with me?"
"Let's not talk about the car first. Where did that spear rocket launcher come from? There is even ammunition." Compared to the car, Lu Mingfei was more concerned about the scary hot weapon in the back seat.
This is not Russia, nor the United States, nor the war-torn Middle East. Bringing a spear rocket launcher and ammunition into the country is harder than climbing to the sky.
"I borrowed these and borrowed them all together. And this was also borrowed together." Finkel took out a box of cigars from his pocket.
There are four cigars in total, packed in an exquisite aluminum box. They look like high-end products without a doubt. Judging from the condition of the cigars, they are a bit old, but they are well preserved and not damp or moldy at all.
"Did you rob the Black Prince Group?" Lu Mingfei asked in confusion, "But the Black Prince Group doesn't have such a shabby antique car."
The Black Prince Group is a well-known leading local enterprise. It covers real estate, media entertainment and manufacturing. This group is involved in all aspects of the industry. It has cooperative relationships with Chu Zihang's stepfather and Su Xiaoqiang's family, and also has a background in some underworld forces. If anyone in the local area has the ability to obtain large-scale arms, Lu Mingfei's first reaction will be the Black Prince Group.
When Lu Mingfei asked this question, Nuonuo in the back seat seemed to remember something, her eyes flickered slightly... Black Prince Group, the last time she heard this name was two years ago, but she didn't miss it too much. On the contrary, if some follower knew that she was here, she might be in big trouble. Now there is also a tough enemy like Odin, and Nuonuo can't let irrelevant people be involved.
"I've never heard of the Black Prince Group or the White Civet Cat Group." Finkel shook his head. "I borrowed these things from a senior."
"Senior?" Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, a senior from the secret party who has great taste, comparable to mine." Finkel said with a beaming face, "Let me tell you, I found a good place. If Odin is killed this time, I will definitely take the credit!"
"Don't keep us in suspense, just say it clearly!" Nono in the back seat kicked the backrest of Finkel's car.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm taking you there right now." Finkel chuckled. "Is my senior brother the kind of person who would keep all the good things to himself? Don't get scared when the time comes."
"This doesn't seem to be the road we took to come here?" Lu Mingfei looked at the scenery that was rapidly receding outside the car window, "It doesn't seem to be the direction to the city either?"
"It's not the city. Who said we were going to the city?" Finkel said mysteriously, "Good things are often hidden in deserted places."
Finkel drove the car to the right lane and the headlights illuminated the yellow sign next to the highway. The white words "Heavy Industrial Development Zone: 5KM" flashed by.
There is a very hidden ramp on the right side. You can also get off the highway along this curved ramp, but perhaps no one has been here for many years. The grass and trees on both sides of the ramp are growing wildly, and the leaves have covered the road signs and a few lonely telephone poles.
Renault Laguna stopped at the gate of a dark industrial park. Lu Mingfei and his friends got off the car and found that the park was in a very dilapidated state. The weeds at the gate had grown to almost half a person's height and no one had taken care of it for a long time. The muddy road at the gate was soaked by rain, and the feeling of walking on it was between wet asphalt and swamp. The whole factory was silent, and the rain hitting the heavy iron roof made a "crackling" sound. It didn't look like a place where there were any living people.
"The senior from the secret party you mentioned is here?" Nuonuo glanced at the almost scrapped buildings, "Are you sure there are still people here?"
"Yes, there are people, but the senior is definitely not here." Finkel said mysteriously, "Just follow me. I put a lot of effort into finding this place."
Finkel led the way, pushed open the rusty iron gate of the industrial park, and led everyone to a small white building. Lu Mingfei looked down at the time. It was already morning, but the heavy rain was still falling. The sky showed no sign of clearing up, and the entire industrial park was shrouded in darkness.
“The assets of Media Asia Group have been sealed by the Municipal Intermediate People’s Court…” Lu Mingfei looked at the seal on the iron gate and read out the words softly.
It seems that this place has gone bankrupt and has been sealed off by the government. All the valuable things inside should have been auctioned off.
Media Asia Group... I seem to have some impression of this name, but I seem to have never heard of it. But in any case, this is already a deserted factory area. Finkel said that there are people here, but they would not stay in a deserted factory building so early in the morning. Lu Mingfei could only think of the rats hiding in the dark corners.
That junky Renault might have come from here, but so did that Spear bazooka and the well-kept fancy cigars?
A deep doubt flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind. This place must have been turned upside down when it was sealed off. Even if these heavy weapons and valuable imported goods were not taken away by the government, they would have been stolen by some people who got wind of it, right?
This small white building should be the temporary place where the liquidation team members stayed at that time. The first floor has been flooded, and the doors on both sides are covered with rust and moss. Lu Mingfei would believe that giant centipedes and anacondas live here.
In the corridor on the second floor, the window glass had been completely shattered. The biting wind was blowing through the empty windows and into the corridor. On the door of the room at the end was written the words "Office of the Bankruptcy Liquidation Team of Media Asia Group". The door was half-open, and Finkel pushed it open directly.
The room actually didn't look that shabby. There was a desk at the end of the room and a makeshift steel bed covered with sheets and quilts. A man in a white shirt was dozing on the desk. When he heard the sound of Finkel pushing the door, he looked up blankly.
Is there really someone here?
"Hey, Old Li, I'm here again. Let's chat for a while." Finkel sat down on the chair opposite the desk in a very familiar manner.
"Lao Zhang?" The middle-aged man called Lao Li sat up and looked at Finger in surprise, "Didn't you just leave?"
