Chapter 46 The Will of Heaven Is Hard to Defy
Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze walked side by side on the campus at night.
Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that this encounter with Lu Mingze was different from usual.
The flowers and leaves seemed to freeze in the air, sketching out the shape of the wind like a painting.
The light from the streetlights was like a light veil, which Lu Mingze tore and tangled like a child, causing the light to distort and scatter in the air.
It was like a dream.
Lu Mingfei didn't find it hard to accept, since every time he saw this kid, he was always judged to be asleep, and he was probably dreaming right now.
There's nothing incomprehensible about what you dream about.
That's right...
"Why couldn't you be more observant and show up while I was sleeping? It's not that I hate you, but because of you, I've been rumored to be a killer in my sleep."
Lu Mingfei calmly made his comments.
"But I think I showed up at the right time. Didn't I give you a map unlock right on time last time?"
Lu Mingze argued his case based on reason.
But his words made Lu Mingfei realize something, so he picked up the little guy without any resistance.
"Oh! My dear little brother, what useful skill are you going to bring to your older brother this time?"
"Ooi! Put me down! Even brothers don't act like this! You've gone too far!"
Lu Mingze is the type who is high on offense but low on defense. Although he always tries to get close to Lu Mingfei, he can't stand it if Lu Mingfei is even a little affectionate towards him.
However, Lu Mingfei didn't have any thoughts on this; that's how he treats his son.
Pick him up and pinch his nose hard, making the child giggle. Then you go out to fight a few battles, and when you come back, your son has become an adult and can no longer be like before.
But the second brother obviously did not accept Lu Mingfei's approach. He struggled frantically and finally forced Lu Mingfei to put him on the ground. The little guy then straightened his tie with a serious expression and spoke.
"Brother, you've suddenly become someone I can't understand. Before, you were a coward, only knowing how to have a shameless crush on Chen Wenwen. But in the blink of an eye, you've become like... well, I can't quite put my finger on it."
Lu Mingfei casually ruffled Lu Mingze's freshly styled hair, looked up at the moonlight, and spoke.
"Men can change in an instant. Yesterday you were cowering and hiding in a corner, deceiving yourself that you could live like this. Today you are second only to one person and above ten thousand others. As long as you have a breath left, you are invincible. Isn't that interesting?"
His tone was like a sigh, as if an invincible general was reviewing his magnificent life, while Lu Mingze looked at Lu Mingfei.
"You've grown so much, it's like you've gone from a little white rabbit to a big lion. I don't even know how to talk to you about what I originally wanted to tell you."
Lu Mingfei shifted his gaze from the moonlight to Lu Mingze's eyes, which seemed to glow with golden light.
"I've always treated you like my second brother, so what can't we talk about? Think about the relationship between Liu Bei and Guan Yu, speak freely, second brother."
To be honest, in Twisted Three Kingdoms, I really don't feel like Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are that familiar with each other.
But Lu Mingze seemed to fall for it. He looked at Lu Mingfei, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"Alright, you know Faust, right? Mephistopheles made a bet with Faust that if Faust were to find worldly pleasures through Mephistopheles, then Faust's soul would belong to Mephistopheles."
Lu Mingfei looked at Lu Mingze, whose eyebrows and eyelids seemed to grow longer and longer, making his eyes look like those of a dead fish.
"You want my soul?"
His tone sounded unusually calm.
"Not exactly."
Lu Mingze shook his head.
"I want your body, or rather, your life."
"oh...."
Lu Mingfei's tone remained calm, as if he had overheard someone else's story. Just as Lu Mingze was about to continue speaking...
"Then you can take it."
"What?"
Completely baffled as to why Lu Mingfei would say such a thing, Lu Mingze was stunned. He looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes, trying to find even the slightest hint of amusement in them.
Unfortunately, no, Lu Mingfei was serious, extremely serious.
"Take my life. If you want it, then take it. I'm giving it to you."
Lu Mingfei stretched out his hands towards Lu Mingze, looking completely unguarded, but this appearance made Lu Mingze feel a little scared.
"What...what's wrong with you? I've never seen you like this in thousands of years."
"Several thousand years?... Oh well, whatever, sigh—"
Lu Mingfei let out a long sigh, as if he were expelling all his anger from his body.
"I don't care what you do, but if you want to gamble with me and take something from me, or replace the main personality like a second personality, then you're too late, far too late."
Lu Mingfei lowered his eyes, but Lu Mingze could see a dazzling golden light in them.
"Everyone has their stupid moments, fantasizing about how awesome they are, showing off in front of others, arming themselves with suits, sunglasses, henchmen, and power and wealth, shining brightly in front of the people they care about, like they're something else."
"That sounds good, but aren't you acting all high and mighty right now? I think everyone thinks you're pretty arrogant."
Lu Mingze responded.
Lu Mingfei simply smiled at this, a smile that seemed somewhat cold.
"Heh, so I'm handsome enough now, huh? That's easy, it just requires you to lose everything the hell."
He gritted his teeth.
"Who says this is bad? Showing off, slapping faces, and pretending to be weak to take advantage of others are timeless. In peacetime, arm yourself with power, wealth, and connections; in times of war, arm yourself with unparalleled military strength. No matter what, it can make you seem superior and easily crush those who looked down on you just a second ago. You'll be incredibly arrogant."
"You don't seem to like that feeling very much."
Lu Mingze frowned as he responded. He sensed Lu Mingfei's emotions, but Lu Mingfei continued speaking as if he were talking about someone else.
"Of course I like it, how could I not? Who doesn't like to show off? Chatting and laughing with foreign professors on the upper floors of a luxury hotel, having several burly men appear with a single phone call, crashing a confession scene, picking up the prettiest girl in the class, and then disappearing into the night in a helicopter."
Lu Mingfei turned to look at Lu Mingze.
"But how far can power and strength go? Invincible? Above ten thousand men? You play a game, meticulously manage your resources, practice your skills, play steadily, have plenty of worker bees, spread creep to the midfield, and have your Ultralisks, Hydralisks, and Nydus Worms network all perfectly planned. But then, the next second someone cheats and lets in a giant dragon that doesn't even exist in the game, flattening your base. How can you withstand that?"
He raised his eyebrows, recalling Shouchun and Guandu, where Cao Cao's fiery meteor shower had rendered them unable to function, and Chibi and Hanzhong, where the seasons were forcibly distorted by fate, rendering all military strategies ineffective and utterly shattered.
But the most incredible thing was that he was slapped to death by Sima Yi. Damn, how could someone with his physical condition be killed by just two slaps?
After composing himself, Lu Mingfei let out a long breath and spoke slowly and deliberately.
In the end, even the best in the world cannot defy the will of Heaven.
