Chapter 15 We are one, we are together! This is the courage in your heart!
Mai Shude put down her binoculars, and her captivating little mouth opened into an "O" shape.
"Potato Chip Girl, did you see that? Our little white rabbit looks like it bit someone!"
"I saw it! This is outrageous! What happened? Did he take the wrong medicine?" The potato chip girl spoke quickly, as if she had encountered some serious trouble.
"Still can't get in touch with the boss?"
"The call suddenly ended, but before it ended, it seemed like... some kind of sound came through?"
"What was that sound?" Mai asked.
"I'm not quite sure..."
Chip Girl wasn't quite sure, because it was a... scream.
……
Deep within Lu Mingfei's spiritual world.
The little devil Lu Mingze struggled to reach out, but every time he did, a giant hand made of light pressed him back down!
"Help, help..."
"It's not over yet, behave yourself!"
……
"Rat-a-tat-tat..."
Lu Mingfei watched the helicopter disappear into the distance. The men in black who had been following him also laughed and dispersed. Only Nuonuo, who had been by his side, remained.
The expensive high heels lay to one side, while Nono sat listlessly to the side, completely unconcerned about her expensive dress.
"It all feels like a dream..."
Lu Mingfei muttered to himself, "But once midnight passes, Cinderella's magic wears off."
"However, thank you anyway, Belial, and Lin Lu."
"You were so domineering and composed just now."
Lu Mingfei began mimicking himself, putting on a one-man show, "Good morning, good afternoon, and good night everyone~" Lines from *The Truman Show*. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have thought to make such a joke at this moment.
"And that line: 'Don't be nervous, the world won't end. I'll help you out of danger at another banquet~' was so cool, just like 007 going on a mission."
After finishing his speech, Lu Mingfei casually sat down by the roadside.
"How wonderful... But what happens next?"
Lu Mingfei was bewildered.
He felt he couldn't do it at all, because it was Belial who had just been controlling his body, and Belial would leave sooner or later.
It might be the next second, or it might be tomorrow morning, or it might be... Anyway, he'll be leaving soon.
After he left, he reverted to being the same Lu Mingfei he was before, the one wearing an ill-fitting, baggy suit with a lowercase "i".
It's like... a puppy that nobody wants.
Nono watched Lu Mingfei's actions, pressed a button on her earpiece, and asked, "What is he doing right now?"
"I don't know, but it's not surprising that dragons do anything crazy, especially since he's an S-rank," Ye Sheng's voice rang out.
"Okay, I'll wait a bit longer then, since it's not dawn yet anyway."
Nono continued to sit there listlessly, but her mind was filled with the scene from before.
She knew that Lu Mingfei's ideas and plans were bound to fail, so she suddenly had a brilliant idea to save Lu Mingfei in a beautiful way.
Unfortunately, all of this seems somewhat superfluous.
Dragons are dragons after all.
He regained his confidence and launched a counter-plan that belonged to the king!
It possesses the domineering and self-assured nature of dragons, yet retains a relaxed, carefree, and casual demeanor—everything is just right; neither a loser nor a nouveau riche.
It was as if it were only natural, as if he were saying to Zhao Menghua and the others, "How was it? How was my game acting these past three years? Wasn't it incredibly lifelike? Now I'm going back to normal life, and we won't see each other again, but I'll take you guys with me when I save the world. You're welcome."
That's...outrageous.
"The little white rabbit has turned into a little lion. If he really enters the academy looking like this..."
Nono smiled and blew a bubble with her bubble gum, then had someone take it out and throw it like a ball.
"That should be really interesting!"
……
"Don't underestimate yourself."
Beria's voice echoed in his heart.
The next second, Lu Mingfei found himself in the consciousness space, standing face to face with Belial.
Beria chuckled, hands on his hips, and said nonchalantly, "I told you, I don't want you to fail. That girl clearly doesn't like you. You can go find someone else. Just consider it saying goodbye to the past."
"You're so cool, Belial! Thank you!" Lu Mingfei scratched his head sheepishly. "I don't know what I would have done without you."
"Only this point do I disagree with."
Belial crossed his arms, thought for a moment, then pointed at Lu Mingfei and said, "Remember? We are now one and the same."
"Uh, yes, is there a problem?"
"Because we are one and of one mind, that attitude doesn't just belong to me, it belongs to you too!"
"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was stunned, and quickly waved his hands, saying, "How is that possible? I've never done that before..."
"Don't underestimate yourself. There is a power within you that you don't know about. You just need to discover it yourself."
Beria stepped forward and gently patted him on the shoulder. "The difference lies in how you use it."
"This is your own strength and courage. Although it may seem like I'm controlling your body, I don't know what those words are, that...
"The Truman Show"
"Yes, I haven't seen that movie. Those are just your own thoughts, your own words."
"These are all my true feelings..."
Lu Mingfei was stunned, not expecting Belial to say that.
"Okay, kid, I'm off now. Remember to join your group or whatever. If you need anything, just tell Lin Lu. You can also call me if you need any help."
"Are we leaving now?" Lu Mingfei was clearly reluctant.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it, the mission is accomplished. Oh, by the way, take this."
As Beria spoke, he tossed something to Lu Mingfei.
"What is this?" Lu Mingfei thought as he opened his hand. It was a ball of light, a ball of pure light.
"This is my light. I don't know if you can sense it from that far away, but it should be able to help you."
Beria scratched his head, a rare occurrence for him, and said, "I'm not good at spouting those high-sounding platitudes, but you should remember how you felt today."
"Remember the courage in your heart, and uphold your kindness."
"Actually, if it weren't for your kindness, I wouldn't have let them off so easily back then. They would have at least been taught a lesson!"
"After all, they deliberately messed with you, how despicable!"
When Lu Mingfei heard Belial standing up for him, he couldn't help but laugh.
He suddenly realized that this feeling of being cared for... was actually quite nice.
Beria turned around and waved his hand, saying, "Actually, you're fine the way you are, but you're a young man, you should have some energy. Don't be like my nephew, who just lazes around all day."
"I hope that next time we meet, you'll have gotten rid of this silly little habit of yours, cheer up, and realize you're actually a great person!"
Goodbye, kid.
