Chapter 990's Attack
Chapter 99 Zero's Offensive
"High in the sky, inside an airplane, a handsome man and a lovely girl sat side by side. No one knew that they had just solved the Starry Night serial murder case."
"What are you talking about? We haven't even arrived in Stockholm yet!"
Ling didn't deny Lu Mingfei's descriptive adjectives; she just looked at Lu Mingfei with curiosity, wondering what had suddenly gotten into him and why he was speaking in a low voice.
Lu Mingfei looked around and found that there was no fog or anything like that around him, so he shrugged and said.
"It's nothing. I just think this kind of killing mission is too easy. It might be over in the blink of an eye."
Yes, people like him who are at odds with fate can sometimes hear the voice of fate.
Often, things happen just like you suddenly hear the voice of destiny, and then the war suddenly ends, and the lives of countless people become just a few strokes in the history books.
Like sand at the bottom of the river of time, it settles down, no longer moving forward or churning, silently becoming a part of history.
Their love, hate, and grudges are no longer known to anyone, and no one can talk to them about them.
However, Lu Mingfei is still not as good as Cao Cao. Cao Cao saw the true face of the will of heaven before he died, but Lu Mingfei has never seen it to this day.
Ling, whom he saw every day, suddenly got up and shifted his position, so that his entire upper body could face Lu Mingfei.
The sun above the clouds was exceptionally bright, and the sunlight streaming through the porthole behind Lu Mingfei made Ling's already fair skin appear even whiter and more radiant.
"Here's the procedure: we first find the Swedish branch to hand over the duties, and then they will take us to the location of the killer's activities until we find the Night Killer at night."
"It sounds like it will take no more than a day?"
Lu Mingfei asked, puzzled.
"But no matter what, a day doesn't fly by."
Zero responded calmly.
Then she stretched out her hand. Lu Mingfei had never imagined that someone's arm could be described as crystal clear, after all, that was used to describe things like jade or gemstones.
But upon closer reflection, it's not inappropriate to use it to describe Zero. She is like a large, perfect gemstone, with everything in just the right place. If we were to use jade as a metaphor, it would undoubtedly be the jade used to forge the imperial seal.
The arm now extended up to Lu Mingfei's shoulder.
Lu Mingfei was taken aback. Wait, so you really do have ulterior motives towards me?
Are we going to start making romance films too? In the end, you'll reveal your past to me, I'll find your father to become your godfather, and then we'll have a grand wedding procession, with me carrying you to the Red Cliff in a sedan chair.
Ah, things seem a bit messy.
Lu Mingfei was a little nervous.
Although he's no longer the same person, he had a proper arranged marriage back then, and while the marriage itself was passable, the love aspect was a complete failure.
Moreover, in Caesar's words, women are like books; some women, when you open them, all you see are three dry words: "I love you."
It may seem touching, but you'll get tired of it when you find that no matter how you open it, all you see is "I love you".
Caesar likes Nono for this reason: as long as Nono has a breath left, you will never be able to see through her.
Lu Mingfei found this idea quite interesting. If that were the case, then Princess Qinghe should be the monster book of the monsters.
Whether you can even open it is another matter. Even if you do open it, you'll find that this book is desperately trying to kill you.
Moreover, there's a trap hidden inside; it snaps shut and bites off your hand, leaving you with no choice but to wander the world with your eagle brother.
As for Zero, it's like a book that you haven't read but feel like you've already read.
He treated Ling to dinner, peeled shrimp for her, massaged her shoulders, and tied her shoelaces.
Ling would do his homework, taking a ten-minute detour from her dormitory to his door to remind him it was time for class.
Men and women working together makes the work less tiring.
But they got like this right after they met, as if they skipped the familiar stage, yet it also seemed like it was supposed to be this way.
He's a bit like a strategist or general who suddenly appears in a twisted Three Kingdoms game, but everyone treats him naturally, as if they were old friends.
Lu Mingfei also asked Ling about this, such as why she was so good to him.
But Zero simply means that I'm doing it this way; whether you agree or accept it is up to you.
You don't have to treat me to a meal, you just need to do your homework by yourself from now on.
You can ignore me waiting at your door and go to class by yourself; I won't come next time.
Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "What else is there to say? I'll just accept it."
If Princess Qinghe had even a tenth of your heroism, she probably would have had eight or nine children back then, corresponding to all four great monarchs.
As for now... wait, what's this? Is Zero finally planning to break out of this old married couple mode?
So what should he do? Uh, should he respond to her hug or something?
Oh, no need.
Zero's arm reached over his shoulder and pulled the airplane window shut, so the white gemstone no longer shone brightly in the sunlight.
Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief. Oh, it was just to draw the curtains. Hahahaha.
Then he felt a weight on his shoulder.
Generally speaking, there are two possibilities: being possessed by a ghost or having a wolf put its arm around your shoulder.
The former requires an exorcist, while the latter requires Mr. Dongguo.
It's the one related to wolves, not the one that Duke Huan of Qi had to search five times before finally persuading him to come out of seclusion.
When Lu Mingfei first heard Liu Bei mention Mr. Dongguo, he was completely bewildered. Then, after checking the historical records, he discovered that Mr. Dongguo really was a man, which made his memory even worse.
But neither of them were right now, because a clear voice entered his mind close to his ear.
He felt a warmth on his shoulder, like a cloud that had been baked white by the sun falling on his shoulder.
"Keep an eye on the time for me, I'm going to sleep. Remind me when we're almost there."
Oh, it's nothing, Zero just leaned on his shoulder and was about to fall asleep.
Lu Mingfei could smell the faint fragrance wafting from the strands of hair.
Yes, I don't use the same brand of shampoo as Susie.
Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that many people at school called Ling the "Ice Sculpture Girl".
After all, she comes from a very cold place, so she has a cold personality, a cold appearance, and a cold voice. She is also particularly good at creating awkward silences in conversations.
But she was asleep now, her eyes closed, her eyelashes so long, her eyebrows like the arc of a shooting star, and her breathing so faint.
It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and half of a beautiful woman's beauty lies in her eyes. A pretty woman looks ordinary if she covers her eyes.
But a beautiful girl will only have a unique charm when she closes her eyes.
That's what zero is.
When she's awake, she looks like an ice sculpture princess; a single breath of cold air could freeze you to death.
But if you close your eyes and look at them, you'll only think to yourself, "How can they be so perfect? Nuwa was really biased when she created humans."
But when she falls asleep with her head on your shoulder, you realize that she is also warm, just a small girl.
Lu Mingfei suddenly thought that maybe this plane should fly a little slower, so that his shoulder would be numb from resting on Ling's head by the time they arrived at their destination, and he would be fine.
Hmm...wouldn't that seem a bit selfish?
