Chapter Twelve Seeing Another Self Again
At the dome.
A huge black shadow was shrouded on it. It was a huge skeleton pulled by a steel rope. The huge wings extended behind it, and the claws were sharp and fatal. The hollow eye sockets on the hideous skull seemed to be staring at Shen Zifan below.
Shen Zifan thought of a sentence for no reason.
When you stare at the abyss, the abyss also stares at you.
"Is this really a dragon?" Shen Zifan murmured.
"Of course, it is a real red dragon. All noble enough bloodlines do not have to be bound by death. For them, every death is a long sleep that has been slept for a hundred years."
In the darkness, someone whispered.
But Professor Guderian and Masashi Toyama were both stagnant, and the owner of this voice seemed like a non-existent ghost.
"who?"
Shen Zifan turned around and there was no one in the building.
When Shen Zifan raised his head again, the coldness rushed straight from his spine to the sky spirit cover.
There is no skeleton on the dome at all!
The giant beast wearing red scales was breathing, and his simple and majestic golden eyes stared at Shen Zifan like an ant.
Adrenaline was secreted at an extremely rapid speed. Shen Zifan reached out and pressed the handle of the big black umbrella tightly, gritted his teeth and stared at the giant creature above his head.
One person and one dragon confronted quietly, and the cold sweat wet the lining.
This is definitely not a dream, it is impossible to have such a real dream!
The heat coming from the giant beast's breath seemed to burn itself through!
"You don't need to be afraid of them."
The sound floated again, as if someone was whispering in Shen Zifan's ear.
The red dragon danced its wings, its shrill roar was deafening, and its huge body rushed towards Shen Zifan, and a hot flame that was enough to melt steel was sprayed out from its dark mouth.
The fire magnified infinitely in Shen Zifan's pupils, but it did not burn him. Someone raised the big black umbrella on Shen Zifan's arm to block the flames. The flames flowed down the eaves of the umbrella, like a red waterfall.
The familiar face appeared in the fire, and was another self I had seen on the CC1000 train.
"What they said is true. There is indeed a dragon in this world. You are destined to embark on this path. This is your destiny."
"Fate?"
"What has happened is called fate, and what has not happened but is destined to happen is called fate. We seem to be powerless to both, but Shen Zifan, I hope you will hold your future in your own hands."
"Even if one day the whole world is standing on the other side of you, they throw torches and spit at you, they put the most vicious curses and dirtiest spit on you, you are sad and disappointed, but please don't give up."
"Give up...what?"
Another Shen Zifan didn't answer, but just smiled brightly, handed the black umbrella to Shen Zifan. He rode the red dragon and passed through the dome and soared to another world.
...
"My junior brother is on the way!"
"Junior brother, there is a blonde girl looking for you!"
"Can you not wake up?"
"Shen Zifan, One Piece has been updated."
"How many episodes have you been?" Shen Zifan suddenly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a strange single bed covered with a goose-quilt.
This is obviously a boys dormitory, and it is a very dirty one. The leftover coke cans can be placed with half a long table, and domestic garbage is piled up in the corners. Thankfully, Shen Zifan didn't smell any unbearable odor.
Shen Zifan sat up, Finger's big face facing him, his hair was as messy as ever, and Shen Zifan felt that swallows and white pigeons would definitely be happy to build a nest on his head.
"I don't know how many episodes of One Piece have been updated, but junior brother, do you remember that you were carried to the dormitory by someone on a stretcher? Professor Guderian seemed to say that you were greatly stimulated and you should have recovered after a night's sleep."
"Exciting..." It seems that's right, Shen Zifan had a headache. He recalled the huge skeleton in the building in District 21, and then the skeleton turned into a giant dragon and rushed towards his face. The texture was so many times more real than holographic projection and VR games!
"So... there are really dragons in this world." Shen Zifan murmured to himself. Now he has at least nine percent believed in the fact that there are dragons in the world.
"What stupid things are you saying?" Finger said from the side, and Shen Zifan looked at him with a little confused look in his eyes.
"Of course there are dragons, otherwise where do we mixed races come from? They popped out of the stone?" Finger's words completely shattered Shen Zifan's last trace of doubt.
"I understand, I understand. Actually, I was more surprised than you when I first learned that this world was so fucked. Isn't it too much to describe it as a loss? My senior brother's idiom is good, right?" Finger looked at Shen Zifan, whose three views were already shattered, and spoke out to comfort him.
"Oh by the way, Professor Guderian asked me to give you a word. Your 3e exam will be held at 3pm tomorrow. It is located in the teaching building closest to the dormitory. It is an exam specially set up by the school for you alone, but the specifications remain unchanged. The shielding instrument, invigilator, and accompanying examiner are all available."
"I thank you..." Shen Zifan pulled the corner of his mouth, thinking that the school really spared no expense for him alone. He confiscated his communication equipment and locked him in the classroom alone without any way to heaven and earth. What kind of disadvantages can he do?
"So if I take the exam alone, at most I can equip me with an invigilator? What is this test attendant?" Shen Zifan was puzzled.
"It is said that he is a student, but he is actually a student. This is one of the credits assigned by their tutor. The task is to help collect the papers, check the discipline, and avoid the candidates from doing some extreme behaviors." Finger explained.
"What extreme behaviors will happen in the exam? For example, the candidates and the invigilator dislike each other and fight in the examination room, and then accompany the examiner to persuade the fight? For example, the candidate fainted in the examination room halfway through the exam, worried that the invigilator could not lift it alone?"
"To be honest, junior brother, you have a ridiculous brain circuit." Finger raised his forehead and explained: "Do you know what the 3e exam is?"
"I don't know." Shen Zifan shook his head.
"Dragonist." Finger said, "You should know that literally, as the name suggests, is the language of dragons?"
"Dragons still have language?" Shen Zifan was shocked, "I thought they could only 'moo' like cows!"
"Isn't 'moo' also the language of cows? It's just that you can't understand!" Finger bounced Shen Zifan's forehead, "Don't look at dragons from the perspective of higher organisms looking at low organisms. They are older and wise creatures than humans. For them, humans should be low-level organisms."
