Chapter 7: Darkness of the Rainfall (7)
Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang heard a terrible sound coming from behind them.

They had heard this sound just a short time ago, the sound of severed flesh and chopped bone sinking in the rain.

They seemed to hear the shadows wailing.

The two couldn't help but look back, only to see the man swinging his knife like a lion, dazzling, with the knife flashing one after another.

That was no longer a knife technique that could be achieved by any human being, because it was too fast, so fast that both of them could only see the man's afterimage.

Whether it was the people who were besieging the man or the black shadows that were trying to chase Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, they were all chopped into pieces by the sword lights and shadows.

It was as if an invisible air curtain opened up in the rain with the man at the center, blocking everything for them.

Chu Zihang had never thought that a man could be so majestic, and this man was his father.

He jumped into the driver's seat, turned his head and shouted at the rain: "Dad!"

The man did not look back. After slashing away the dark shadows that were trying to catch up with him, he turned back and ran towards Odin!

Suddenly, he had a strange feeling, as if a thread between him and the man was broken forever.

Another group of black shadows also counterattacked, but the man's territory had expanded to cover everyone.

The black shadow that even the Maybach couldn't shake off at top speed seemed like a funny sloth in the world of men. All its movements were slowed down countless times...but Odin didn't slow down.

Odin drew out Gungnir's spear and struck out. In an instant, thunder and lightning appeared, and countless lightning bolts fell from the sky and hit the man.

But the man ignored the lightning, instead swung his knife, stepped on the black shadow, jumped high, and chopped!
Chu Zihang's eyes reflected the man's falling figure, like a kite with a broken string, falling straight into the shadow, and the alchemy field was retracted due to the serious injury. In an instant, the blood mist filled the air.

"Son, drive away!" the man yelled at Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang suddenly understood that the man rushed towards Odin on purpose. He wanted to use himself as bait to attract all the shadows over.

"Be obedient and remember what you promised me." The man's blood-soaked golden eyes stared at Odin, but he was talking to Chu Zihang:

"If I die, the only thing I'll leave in this world is you. If you die too, I'll have nothing in this world. Believe in Dad, keep living, we'll meet again one day. Dad still has a big move that he hasn't used yet. If you stay here, I'm afraid I'll AOE you."

Lu Mingfei looked at the man in the shadow, his hands clenched into fists, his nails almost digging into his flesh. Once again, he was faced with this desperate but helpless scene.

"Lu Mingze!"

He punched the center console on the passenger seat again and again, calling Lu Mingze's name.

But there was no response.

"Damn it, you little bastard, that car is very expensive, it cost nine million, you spent so much money on it, even God can't stop you, don't smash it!" the man yelled.

Chu Zihang didn’t know who the “Lu Mingze” Lu Mingfei was talking about, but he felt the sadness that Lu Mingfei shared with him.

He looked at the keyless center console and realized what the man had just shown off to him.
There are three people who can wake up this car, and the third one is him.

"Start!" he said

The engine roared like a lion, shattering the solemn sound of rain.

"Well done, son!" The man raised his knife in the dark shadow and blood mist.

Chu Zihang tried hard to recall the steps of driving, starting the engine, shifting gears, and releasing the handbrake. The car quickly moved backwards under Chu Zihang's control.

The man had secretly taught him to drive, using this Maybach, and they had once opened the sunroof and sped along the dirt roads in the suburbs in spring.

The stereo started playing the song "Daily Growing" automatically after the ignition was turned on. The daughter sang with her father again in the car:
My daughter, my dear daughter, my arrangement for you is not wrong.

I'll marry you to the son of a wealthy family.

Once I grow old, he will be the man you can depend on.

He's still young, but he's growing.

Chu Zihang suddenly understood the song. This was what the man wanted to say to him. He had brought him to the dust and sent him to a wealthy family, just hoping that he could live a better life than himself.

He always said that he would understand in the future. Now Chu Zihang understood, but the man... the man might be dead.

He would never hear the man's casual tone again, saying words of concern for him. The car drove downhill, and the traffic lights of the toll station lit up faintly in the distance. This time, they really reached the place where they could get off the bridge.

But Chu Zihang suddenly stepped on the brakes unexpectedly, and the tires made a harsh friction sound in an instant. The Maybach stopped in the rain, lying across the empty elevated road.

Lu Mingfei watched Chu Zihang open the skylight, taking deep breaths with asthma, and letting the heavy rain pour in through the skylight, soaking everything with the biting cold.

But he didn't feel cold. There was no feeling in his world. Only the man's voice and the song kept replaying in his ears.

"Start! Start!" he suddenly yelled at the center console.

The light on the center console came on for a moment, but immediately dimmed again.

This car is already too tired. Even the most ferocious lion will eventually run out of energy. Just like that man.

At this moment he finally understood that he was really going to lose that man.

Chu Zihang suddenly pushed open the car door and rushed out, running wildly on the viaduct against the wind and rain. Lu Mingfei was stunned for two seconds before he reacted and also pushed open the car door to chase Chu Zihang.

"What are you going to do!" Lu Mingfei suddenly pounced on Chu Zihang and roared.

"Let go!" Chu Zihang struggled to break free from Lu Mingfei's embrace. His face was covered with water and he couldn't tell which was rain and which was tears.

"You want to go back? You're crazy!"

After the physical training at Kassel College and the devilish courses at Highly Developed Middle School, Lu Mingfei's strength has long been far greater than that of an ordinary person.

But he felt that Chu Zihang seemed to have infinite power and he couldn't hold him back no matter what, so he simply used his feet to lock Chu Zihang.

"Have you forgotten what your father told you? As long as you live, you will meet again one day."

Lu Mingfei hugged Chu Zihang tightly: "Now you are the only one in the world who remembers your father. If you die, your father will really disappear from this world completely."

Chu Zihang was stunned, and his hand that was trying to unlock Lu Mingfei's lock finally dropped.

Lu Mingfei felt Chu Zihang's body gradually relax, but he didn't dare to let him go immediately. He still kept his hands and feet locked on Chu Zihang.

If there is a third person present, he or she will definitely think of the classic clip from Stephen Chow’s classic movie “King of Destruction”:

"Big Brother locked up He Jinyin? No, it was He Jinyin who locked up Big Brother!"

"I'm sorry." Chu Zihang said silently, "You're right. If I die too, he will really disappear."

"Just figure it out."

Lu Mingfei exhaled, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but suddenly found that he didn't know what to say next to break this uncomfortable atmosphere.

Damn...don't make the atmosphere so awkward at this sad moment.

Fortunately, Chu Zihang took the initiative to break the silence: "Let me go... I won't run away."

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Okay."

Lu Mingfei loosened his hands and feet, and Chu Zihang slowly stood up from the rain-stained and muddy ground, standing there staring in the direction of the man. Lu Mingfei also stood obediently behind Chu Zihang.

He looked at Chu Zihang's lonely back standing in front of him in the heavy rain, and suddenly felt inexplicably sad.

In the eyes of others, Chu Zihang always radiates a brilliant light, like a dazzling sun, which makes people yearn for him, but difficult to approach. But who knows that in his world, it is actually raining heavily, and there is no sunshine at all.

Maybe there was a little sunshine before, but after today it may never be there again.

Lu Mingfei couldn't bear to look at his back any longer, so he turned around and wiped his face in the rain. The moment he looked up, Lu Mingfei was suddenly stunned, and then his eyes widened in disbelief.

It was a small figure. She sat on the roof of the Maybach, swinging her legs, staring at Chu Zihang's back, and humming a song.

The small figure didn't seem to expect Lu Mingfei to suddenly turn around. His eyes flashed with a faint golden color as he stared at Lu Mingfei from a distance.

Xia Mi.
