He and Toyokawa Shoko glanced out the window at the same time. Not far away, there was a sign that looked like a directional sign, but it was impossible to see what was written on it in the heavy rain.
"Today's rain is really strange."
Toyokawa Kiyoshi told himself.
In the morning, Tokyo was sunny and clear, with hardly any clouds, showing no sign of rain whatsoever.
But now it's raining and stormy outside, and if it weren't for his excellent driving skills, he wouldn't dare to drive in this kind of weather.
"Xiao Xiang..."
Toyokawa Kiyoko was about to remind his daughter of something more, but before he could even speak, he suddenly froze.
The next moment, his gaze suddenly tightened, his fiery golden eyes lit up, emitting a golden light, and the bitterness and sadness on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a steel-like hardness.
He sensed a familiar presence, seemingly from an 'old friend'.
He had been searching for Him for a long time, so long that he himself was not sure if he would ever have the chance to see Him again in this lifetime. He never expected to meet Him again at this time.
"Why did it have to happen at this time..."
Toyokawa Kiyoko suppressed his excitement, his inextinguishable anger, and his deep worry for his daughter.
Bang bang bang——
The rain outside got even heavier.
He never imagined that the torrential rain, which was already as intense as divine punishment, could intensify even further.
Now, from the distant horizon to the ground below, the entire viaduct is shrouded in a misty curtain of water.
Through the waterfall-like rain, Toyokawa Kiyotaka seemed to glimpse some fragmented scenes.
He finally remembered that on that day, on that small island called 'Avalon', it seemed that a similar downpour had occurred.
Chapter 125 Rainy Night, Overpass, Maybach (2)
Kiyotaka Toyokawa's life has only two seasons.
Before he turned eighteen, his life was like living in a cold winter.
He was orphaned at a young age and had no one to rely on. If it weren't for the orphanage that took him in, he probably would have frozen to death on some street corner long ago.
He had no relatives, no friends, and life in the orphanage was extremely difficult. The life of an ordinary person was simply a pipe dream for him.
At that time, Toyokawa Kiyoko was extreme. How could someone who had never received guidance or help from relatives, teachers, or friends possibly have hope for life?
Until he was eighteen years old,
It was a summer.
Kiyotaka Toyokawa received a letter saying that he had been accepted by a school called Kassel College.
Strange...that's really strange.
Toyokawa Kiyoko subconsciously thought it was a shady school and that he had likely encountered a widespread scam.
He had never applied to this school, so how could he possibly receive such an acceptance letter?
So, Toyokawa Kiyotaka casually tossed the paper aside and then forgot about the whole thing.
Time has turned to morning.
He was eighteen years old and had just been expelled from the orphanage. According to the rules, he would have to support himself after he became an adult.
Just as Toyokawa Kiyotaka was carrying a cloth bag and looking back at the orphanage gate one last time, a Maybach stopped beside him.
"Yes, that's right, we're from the admissions team at Kassel College. Don't just stand there, get in the car."
“We are the same kind of people, yes, just like you think.”
The person sitting in the driver's seat revealed his golden eyes.
Another burly man in a black suit put his luggage in the trunk without saying a word, and then asked him to get into the car.
The Maybach immediately started its engine and took him to Tokyo International Airport.
Summer has arrived in Toyokawa Kiyotaka's life.
Admissions guidance, the 3E test, the dragon race... Toyokawa Kiyoko naturally accepted all of this, as if these things were engraved in his blood, and only here did he feel like he had returned to his rightful place.
He made many friends at Kassel College.
At the student council dinner, he bumped into a crazy guy who spoke fluent Chinese. He later found out that the guy was his future best friend.
His name is Reiner, a sharp-tongued Englishman who always claims he wants to sleep until dawn.
Then there's Gu Yuncang, the first Malaysian Chinese to challenge him to a drinking contest after he arrived at the academy. The two bickered countless times at drinking parties, and as a result, he almost missed Principal Angers' class the next day.
He also met a senior named Chu Tianjiao, who was two years ahead of him and was a prominent figure at Kassel College at the time. Chu Tianjiao graduated from school early and then joined the Executive Department, traveling all over the world to carry out missions.
Toyokawa Kiyotaka is living a life he never dared to imagine before. He has close friends, senior classmates, and mentors who guide him. He feels that his life has entered a new stage, and he no longer has to recall the loneliness he once had.
Time passed by little by little.
When he was twenty-two years old,
One rainy night,
This was Kiyoshi Toyokawa's last mission before graduation. He and several friends were sent to the Greenland Sea at 72° North latitude to conduct an investigation.
For Kiyoyuki Toyokawa, this was a very simple matter.
Given their abilities, it won't be long before they are able to return to school, graduate, join the Executive Bureau, and begin the next chapter of their lives.
However, fate played a cruel joke on him.
The group mistakenly entered the Nibelungen. When the seriously injured Toyokawa Kiyoshi woke up, he was surrounded by corpses lying in disarray.
His closest friends were all killed, their blood and flesh mixed with the rainwater flowing past him, soaking his clothes.
His life has entered another period of hardship.
Toyokawa Kiyoko didn't know why that being didn't kill him in the end, but from then on, he was immersed in a long period of self-blame and depression.
His pride was built on Kassel College, but it was ultimately crushed by this accident. Now, he only hopes to find a place where he can forget the past.
Masashi Tomiyama had tried to provide him with psychological counseling, but it was all in vain.
After this incident, he remained in the Nordic Executive Bureau for another three years, trying countless times to find traces of the island called 'Avalon', but to no avail.
It was as if the intervention of that being was merely an accident, and they were unfortunately caught in the crossfire.
In the end, Kiyotaka Toyokawa gave up the opportunity to remain in the executive department and returned to Tokyo.
Later, he met Mizuho Toyokawa.
The two fell in love, and he then chose to marry into the Toyokawa family, becoming a son-in-law of the Toyokawa family.
Kiyoshi Toyokawa and his wife had a lovely daughter, whom they named Shoko Toyokawa.
Life took a turn in a direction he had never imagined.
But the figure that killed his friends was one that Toyokawa Kiyotaka could never forget for the rest of his life.
"Why at this time..."
Toyokawa Kiyoko gritted his teeth.
If his daughter, Toyokawa Shoko, weren't in the car right now, he would definitely get out and draw his knife immediately.
Even if it means being shattered to pieces, he will fight Him to the death.
Toyokawa Kiyoshi's face was almost contorted with a steely ferocity.
The murderous aura he had cultivated at Kassel College and the Executive Department was fully revealed; at this moment, he had finally returned to his former self.
The top graduate who received the Kassel College President's Scholarship has returned; the specialist who received an A+ rating for 10 consecutive missions in the Executive Department has returned.
He is no longer the second-generation son-in-law of the Toyokawa family, but a true mixed-race person who has emerged from the bloodshed.
"Father……"
Toyokawa Shoko's face showed some fear.
She had never seen her father look like this before; his change tonight was simply too exaggerated.
Initially, he was dejected after being expelled from his family, but when he came to wake him up, his aura was as cold as an assassin, and the expression he showed on the overpass was as resolute as an avenger.
She had no idea what was happening, and as a result, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the car window.
"Who's out there?"
Toyokawa Shoko was taken aback at first.
next moment,
Her pupils contracted sharply with fear, her shoulders trembled violently, and even her hair quivered.
This is on a high-speed overpass! How could anyone be knocking on the door at this speed?!
Who is it!
Shoko Toyokawa looked out the car window, her voice trembling.
She saw a dark figure clinging to the window of the Maybach, and when it saw Toyokawa Shoko staring back at it, it revealed a twisted and ferocious smile.
"what!"
Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The figure's face was truly bizarre; its entire body resembled a withered, dried-up corpse, its skin clinging tightly to its bones, yet its pupils shone with a scarlet gold hue.
Shoko Toyokawa rarely watches horror movies because she is terrified of sudden frights.
But at this moment, she encountered a situation that resembled a horror movie. Moreover, she felt that the appearance of the mummified corpse in front of her was far more terrifying than any ghost or monster in a horror movie.
"Xiao Xiang, don't be afraid."
Toyokawa Kiyoko spoke up.
But his voice was trembling, it was hard to tell whether it was from fear or... excitement!
The Maybach accelerated once again, forcefully soaring from 120 km/h to 180 km/h.
The rain outside was so heavy that it was difficult to see anything ahead.
But Kiyoshi Toyokawa showed no fear. Under his control, the Maybach sped forward, completely disregarding the possibility of crashing into something.
On the entire overpass, it seemed that only his car was traveling like a lone boat.
Hua Hua Hua——
The Maybach broke through the gray net woven by the rain, and the street lampposts on both sides of the overpass were stretched into blurry light trails by the rain, like countless broken strings flying past the car window.
However, there were even more figures outside the car window.
One, two, three...
In the end, shadows piled up outside the car windows, seemingly clinging to the sides of the Maybach, watching it mockingly as it drove deeper into the interior.
Toyokawa Kiyotaka ultimately failed to shake off these figures. These figures seemed to be able to utilize the special rules of the entire Nibelungen, swarming over as soon as they detected an intrusion.
"It's almost here..."
Toyokawa Kiyoshi thought to himself.
He knew that the deeper he went into Nibelungen, the more likely he would encounter the being called 'Odin,' and the greater the danger would be.
However, only in this way could Toyokawa Shoko have a glimmer of hope!
His eyes were wide open, his whole body tense, and he paid no attention to the scene on either side.
In the back seat of the car, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly felt a headache coming on again.
She felt a throbbing pain in her temples, and a dull ache washed over her forehead like a tide.
Her 'Spiritual Vision' was activated once again, but she had already seen the World Tree in tonight's 'dream,' so she quickly adapted to the scene before her.
This scene is more complex than all the previous ones combined.
It was still the same ancient tree that had been seen before, entwined around the long staircase leading to heaven.
But this time, large sections of the bark on the World Tree had peeled off, revealing signs of being gnawed, and even the trunk looked as if it had been burned.
