Chapter two hundred and sixty second: The brilliance shines
The invisible majesty spreads across the world like a spider web.
Akira Sakurai felt like an insect caught in a spider's web, unable to move under the majesty falling from the sky.
He could only stand at the door of the palace, looking up at the figure sitting on the supreme throne.
That figure looked so lonely, as if the whole world was vast, and he stood alone between heaven and earth, but in his eyes there was no sky, no earth, and no sun, moon, or stars.
How on earth do you need to be invincible to dare to underestimate the world so much?
Is this... really an adult?
Sakurai Akira felt confused, but except for the face that was exactly the same as the adult, he couldn't find any similarities.
There is no majesty or violence in his eyebrows, nor is there the gentleness that belongs only to adults, but only the indifference that treats everything as if it is nothing.
It seems that in his eyes, ninety times out of ten things in the world are boring, and it would be better not to see them.
until.
He finally lowered his head.
Like a god leaning down to see all living beings, Akira Sakurai's figure appeared in his eyes.
The moment their eyes met, even though they were separated by a huge ancient bronze temple, Akira Sakurai somehow still saw countless intersecting images flashing past in the eyes of the gods.
In those pictures, he saw thousands of himself.
The young self who was taken away from home when she was five years old, the self who sat trembling in front of the law enforcers on her twelfth birthday, the self who was injected with colorful potions one after another at the age of twenty-three...
Like a branch of fate spreading crazily, thousands of selves were struggling in it, but without exception they fell into a pool of blood!
Every self that dies tragically seems to be telling him a truth - he is a ghost! He is a ghost destined to be born! He is doomed to this irreversible fate when he is born!
Countless branches turned into pictures and poured into his mind. For a moment, his soul was pulled by endless possibilities, seeming to divide him into thousands of different aspects...
The light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and the invisible things in his body were pulled away from the outside.
Like a drowning man sinking to the bottom of the water, the dim light above his head becomes farther and farther away, and darkness gradually engulfs him.
And just when Sakurai Akira was about to collapse, the flashing picture at the speed of light and the infinitely extending branches of fate suddenly came to an abrupt end.
Got stuck.
It's like a ray of sunshine is cast from far above.
On the screen where the flow of time returns to normal——
The man slowly closed the notebook, frowned, and delivered the final judgment with a serious and cold expression:
"You're not very good at this!"
Inspiring and enlightening.
Akira Sakurai gasped for breath, as if a drowning person finally escaped and surfaced.
He stared blankly at the figure on the screen and the still freshly remembered unfolding, and warm tears fell without realizing it.
"Sir..." Sakurai Akira called softly with a hoarse voice.
Thousands of possibilities that were changing rapidly were cut off after meeting this man.
Thousands of fates that were as nihilistic as duckweed just collapsed and disappeared.
It was as if when he stood there, he cut off the extension of fate, allowing thousands of possibilities to shrink and unify, pointing to the only designated road ahead.
At the end of the road, the sun illuminates the fine dust, and the fragrance of grass and trees from all over the mountains fills the tip of the nose. The mighty wind passes through the mountains, bringing the smell of gardenias, and the dandelions gradually fly towards the distant mountains of Daixi in the sunshine...
…
That is the definition of happiness.
"here I am."
With a familiar breath and a familiar voice, the man hugged his shoulders from behind, exerted a slight force, and said with a smile: "Mingjun, I haven't seen you for a day, have you missed me?"
Sakurai Akira slowly turned his head and saw the same face as the one on the throne, but this face was full of bright smiles.
"Sir..." Sakurai Akira murmured in disbelief.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Lu Mingfei patted his shoulder, looked at the throne in front of him, and whispered, "Isn't this guy handsome?"
Sakurai nodded calmly. Although the temperaments of the two of them were completely different in every move, the one on the throne had the same face as the adult.
What is the relationship between the two of them?
Lu Mingfei said with joy: "Heroes think alike, I think so too! Mingjun is curious as to why he appears here?"
Sakurai Ming came back to his senses, looked around again, and whispered: "Sir, what is this place? What is your relationship with that person? He is your...twin brother?"
"You can understand it as a dream world." Lu Mingfei let go of his hand and walked forward, "Although it's not accurate, I can make do with it. As for that guy..."
"Follow me, Mingjun." Lu Mingfei turned around and waved to him.
Sakurai Akira hurriedly followed his pace.
Lu Mingfei leaned over and picked up a violin on the way, and asked enthusiastically: "How did you play the violin just now?"
Sakurai Akira was stunned on the spot. Was the melodious sound of the piano just now made by the master? Is the master so versatile?
"This guy..."
Lu Mingfei threw away the violin, touched his chin, and pondered for a long time, thinking about how to explain their relationship.
"By the way, he is my eldest brother!" He suddenly gave a high-five and turned around and said seriously, "Mingjun, call me eldest brother quickly. If something goes wrong, I will protect you."
Sakurai Ming was speechless and held it in for a long time. Under Lu Mingfei's urging eyes, he shouted at the top: "...Brother, big brother."
Lu Mingfei looked pleased.
"Come on, come on, sit down and ignore the guy above. This guy has a bad temper and even ignores me."
He pulled Sakurai Akira and sat on the steps in front of the throne.
The two sat side by side. Lu Mingfei casually took out two cans of cold beer from behind and threw one to Sakurai Akira.
"Mingjun, you have always been curious about why I chose you, right?"
Sakurai Akira's heart tightened. This question had really puzzled him for a long time. There were at least hundreds of people imprisoned in that caring academy. Why did the adults choose seven of them?
"Actually, there's no reason." Lu Mingfei picked up the beer can, touched it with him, and said with a smile, "The main reason is because the first time I saw your name, Mingjun, I felt that we were destined."
Seeing Sakurai Ming's confused look, Lu Mingfei shrugged and said, "It's the word 'ming'. We both have the word 'ming' in our names."
Is it just...the reason for being so careless?
Sakurai Akira wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Of course, this is just an introduction." Lu Mingfei rested his elbows on his knees, supported his face with his hands, looked at him sideways and smiled, "Actually, before I found you, I secretly observed you for a few days. Mingjun, look
When I see you, I always feel like I’m seeing my old self.”
Sakurai Ming was startled, did you see the shadow of the past in yourself?
How could it be? Your Excellency is simply omnipotent. He can even easily solve their bloodline problems and even grant himself a blood mark that is comparable to royal blood...
Although adults sometimes like to play pranks, Akira Sakurai can feel the tenderness in the hearts of adults, and he is always willing to face this cold world with the greatest kindness.
How could such a gentle man have such a miserable past?
"It's the sorrow of blood." Lu Mingfei whispered, "In fact, each of us is the same, no one can escape the sorrow of blood. Mingjun, do you still remember the conversation when we first met? You said that blood brings
It’s not necessarily power, it’s also cage, imprisonment, and always only a corner of the sky.”
"When I was a child, I stayed with my uncle and aunt. My aunt didn't treat me very well. She always made me do this and that. When I got bored, I would run away from the house and go up the stairs to the rooftop."
"The stairs leading to the rooftop were filled with cardboard boxes, broken sofas and wooden coffee tables thrown away by residents on the top floor. Everything was covered with dust, and the gaps were too small to fit. I jumped in the gaps and crossed easily
This barrier in front of the rooftop, and then getting out through the gap in the iron door, is too simple for me, because I can remember every foothold, it is my own secret base, just like that
This square sky is yours alone."
"Only in that secret base will I feel free. I will sit there like you for an entire afternoon, looking at the sky and the city in the distance."
"Of course, I can see much more scenery than you. This is where I am luckier than you."
Lu Mingfei took a sip of beer, his eyes were hazy, as if he had returned to the past.
"Did you know, Mingjun? The city is usually the most beautiful at night, because the lights in the whole city are lit up."
"At that time, I stood on the edge of the cement platform and felt as light as a bird, ready to fly away at any time. Unfortunately, I did not grow wings at that time and could not fly to the sky I longed for.
I can only stand below and watch from a distance, looking forward to the day when I grow up."
"Many years later, when I grew up and had wings that could fly anywhere in the world, I had lost the reason to fly."
"Because the sky I long for no longer exists."
Lu Mingfei took a big sip of beer, patted Sakurai Akira on the shoulder, and said softly: "I have traveled a long way and experienced many things, and finally I understood what I was pursuing. It turned out that I wanted
From the beginning to the end, I only have this little bit, but this world is unwilling to fulfill me even this little bit. I can only put everything I have on the gambling table and get a big one."
"I used to think that I was not alone. I also thought that as long as I was good to the world, the world would be good to me..." Lu Mingfei whispered, "But it was all wrong! I was just used to being alone. When I
When I see those beautiful things, I still look envious and think about what the hell, where is my wife? She can’t be born yet, right? And I think if I had been faster and more proactive...
Would the ending have been very different?"
"But there are no ifs in life, Mingjun, remember, there are no ifs in life, so you must cherish it even more! Cherish the hand you can hold now, don't hesitate, you should learn to give it a try. Don't hide in the corner and play pretentious
, this is a disease that needs to be cured. Chase whatever you like, grab whatever you like, and don’t hesitate just because the whole world is blocking you in front of you. What does the world mean? That’s bullshit!”
"When a man decides to move forward, nothing can stand in their way, not even the world!"
"It took me a long time to understand this truth, and now I will teach it to you!"
In the silent ancient bronze palace, Lu Mingfei spoke faster and faster.
With every word he spoke, the ferocity on his face became more intense, and the gilded gold in his eyes was not inferior to that of the one on the throne.
It seemed as if there was a golden light swirling in his hole, like an ancient dragon dancing deep in the dark clouds, about to drop the thunder of punishment.
Akira Sakurai sat on the steps, feeling the surge of emotions hitting her chest.
What he didn't know was that while the Lord was delivering a surging speech, the Supreme Being sitting on the throne lowered his head and looked at the man's back when he was angry.
No words.
Just silence.
"Huh..." Lu Mingfei slowly exhaled a long breath and grinned, "I've been holding it in for too long. It feels much better to say it."
"Mingjun, I made a bet with the guy above. It's about you. I won't tell you the specific content of the bet. In short, don't let me down."
Akira Sakurai took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "Sir, I don't even know what you are betting on."
Lu Mingfei scratched his head and said, "If I tell you, wouldn't it be a violation? Don't worry, I have confidence in you, and you should also learn to have confidence in yourself."
He put his arm around Akira Sakurai's shoulders, clinked glasses with him, and said enthusiastically: "Done! I hope that the next time we meet, it will be the moment when we reunite."
Sakurai Akira imitated Lu Mingfei's example and drank a can of beer in one gulp, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Sir, the crisis in Tokyo is very serious this time, won't you step forward?"
"Believe me, Mingjun, I really want to come forward, but I can't do it for the time being." Lu Mingfei said softly, "I can't get out of here now, so I specially pulled you here."
Sakurai Akira whispered: "Can you go out, does it have something to do with this bet?"
"Correct answer." Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up, "You can guess all of this, Mingjun."
Akira Sakurai smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, my burden will be even greater if you do this."
"Why should there be a burden?" Lu Mingfei waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much. If it weren't for you, I don't know how long it would have taken me to convince that awkward guy above. I should say you were the shortcut I found."
"But I'm still worried that I will disappoint you..." Sakurai Akira's eyes were dark.
Lu Mingfei chuckled and said, "Mingjun, do you still remember yours?"
"Of course, you mean..."
"Actually, I like you very much." Lu Mingfei said with a smile, "The warrior has traveled through so many worlds, eradicating all evil and filth, and leaving happiness and happiness to the world. Mingjun, no one told you? You
He is a gentle person."
"I... am a gentle person?" Sakurai Ming murmured, still not believing it.
"I have always believed that gentle people like you, Mingjun, just lack the right guidance and appropriate opportunities. I am very happy to be your leader."
Lu Mingfei smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Sir... I just understood a truth. Do you know what the greatness of Amaterasu lies in?"
Akira Sakurai tilted his head, tears rolling down his face, but he was still smiling, and his smile was so bright that it was not inferior to the sun crown above his head.
"Oh?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously, "Mingjun, do you have any insights you want to share with me?"
"They all say that Amaterasu will make everyone see the sun, except moths living in the dark. Because moths who are accustomed to darkness will be burned to char when they see the outline of the sun." Sakurai Meidong Kongzhong
Yiying said, "But in my opinion, this is wrong. The greatness of Amaterasu is that even we who are as humble as dust can shine brilliantly under your light!"
