Chapter 10 Regret, unforgettable

Lu Mingfei has always been lonely.

In the past, he had always been boarding at his aunt's house. Apart from asking Lu Mingfei to do some housework and making sure that he could enter the house alive every day, his aunt never made any more demands on him.

When Lu Mingfei first entered junior high school, he was always proud of his freedom and would walk out of school with a group of friends every day.

The kids restrained their carefree attitude at the sound of the horn that suppressed their parents' blood, got on the bus in a panic, and behaved like sheep waiting to be shed.

And only Lu Mingfei himself, under the envious eyes of his classmates, walked with a step that ignored all relatives and proudly stepped onto the unique path that belonged to the king.

At that time, he felt that he was the freest person in the world.

It was not until later that he realized that he should envy those friends who had parents.

They have families, their parents' earnest expectations of them, the support of their loved ones, and are full of fighting spirit and ambition. Then look at themselves.

My own parents——

Apart from sending himself two letters every year to prove that he was still alive, Lu Mingfei found it difficult to find any trace of their existence in his life.

At that time, Lu Mingfei didn't care much about his past, or he had become numb to it.

No one loves you, no one cares about you, no one pays attention to you, isn't that lonely?

Even his parents didn't care about him, and his uncle and aunt just treated him as a passerby who was willing to pay rent to their family.

There are people who have high expectations for my classmates and hope that they can become better people.

As for Lu Mingfei, no one cared about him. The few aunts who cared about him only asked him to live like a human being.

So when the noose of pressure was around his neck, as if the Black and White Impermanence had come to take his life, Lu Mingfei would rather play a game of StarCraft or lie in bed and daydream.

Because he doesn't know who he should show his efforts to.

Maybe it's just the whining that is unique to adolescent teenagers, or maybe it's due to other reasons.

Lu Mingfei clearly understood that he was sliding towards a direction that was not good, one that could even be called an abyss.

While falling, all kinds of wild ideas kept popping up in my head. I always thought that a miracle would happen to change the status quo, but I just didn't want to move.

This mentality continued until I met Seven and the others.

It was not until then that Lu Mingfei felt the earnest expectations of a stranger.

“Become a strong person and don’t let your future self regret it.”

These are the words that the two Ultramen often whispered in his ears.

regret.

For Lu Mingfei, this is not a profound word.

To be honest, his life was dull and boring, like a transparent plastic that no one cared about and didn't even have much color. There was really nothing in his memories that would make Lu Mingfei regret.

Maybe it counts when you play too much in a black internet cafe and forget to buy the seasoning your aunt ordered when you run home?
Maybe when he saw the jeep trying to catch up with him, he regretted that he should have turned around and ran away when he saw the giant and the monster?
Lu Mingfei felt that these subtle emotions that could only occupy his mind in extreme situations did not seem to be something that could bother him.

What is regret?
For Seven, this is the sadness and powerlessness that comes from his lack of strength. After losing to the monster, he can no longer transform to protect humans.

For Leo, it was a deep sorrow that his home planet was destroyed, his brother was captured, and he lost everything.

For Lu Mingfei, this is a future that he has yet to experience.

But even if it is not so unforgettable, the painful lessons of the two Ultramen are enough to serve as a warning.

Lu Mingfei is easily contented. After all, he is no different from most normal people.

He will cry when he is hurt and laugh when he is happy. He will be nice to others if they are nice to him. Although some dark thoughts will pop up in his head from time to time, he will never really put them into practice. He is essentially a child who lacks love.

There are always people in this world who hope that he can become better and have high expectations for him. In fact, this is enough.

He will move forward towards the goal given by the person who cares about him.

"You are not useless." This gave him great motivation.

After being in a trance for a while, Lu Mingfei carefully put away the capsules and looked back at the silent Chu Zihang.

Lu Mingfei was lucky, at least it was not time for him to regret.

Regret is when your future self really wants to do something, but finds that he can do nothing.

"Dong Dong~"

The people guarding the exit left one by one, leaving only their car.

When all the trailers were finally gathered and ready to evacuate, a rescue team member knocked on the car window.

The driver lowered it at the right time.

"there is none left?"

Chu Zihang was clinging to the window.

"Nothing."

The rescue team said so.

"Didn't find your family? Don't worry, we rescued everyone on the elevated road. No one was injured. If you didn't meet them, you must have missed them."

"Go home and have a look."

It seemed as if something faint in Chu Zihang's eyes finally went out.

After a long silence, he slowly sat down, holding the knife tightly in his hands, and said nothing.

The rescue team members couldn't see Zihang's face clearly and thought he was crying, so they wanted to go up and pat him on the shoulder to comfort him.

But he suddenly stopped...

He didn't dare to go forward. He clearly saw the boy's fingers bent into claws as he rested on the edge of the car frame, digging deeply into the expensive car door.

He didn't have time to think about how a middle school boy could have such terrifying strength. He just instinctively felt the raging waves erupting from that skinny body.

sad.

The rescue team members were afraid to speak, and on the other side of the seat, Lu Tianming frowned, as if he didn't understand Chu Zihang's expression.

He seemed to think that the car belonged to the thoughtful boy in the passenger seat.

He reached up and covered the speaker of his phone.

"In that case, let's go. Send the car to the company first, and then I'll send it back after it's repaired."

"I'm sorry, Dad."

Chu Zihang pursed his lips, looked at Lu Mingfei in front of him, and opened his mouth to explain what happened today.

But when he mentioned Chu Tianjiao's name, he was interrupted by Lu Tianming's puzzled question.

"Chu Tianjiao, who is it?"

This person who had reached an agreement with Chu Tianjiao couldn't remember who Chu Tianjiao was at this moment? !
Silence, deathly silence.

It's like being alone in the deep mountains and forests, with the cold wind blowing in from the severely corroded and leaky windows and washing your back.

Although he was in a warm car with the air conditioner on, Chu Zihang felt as if he was still in the wind and rain outside the car.

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes and met Chu Zihang's eyes looking at him in the rearview mirror.

There is only horror left.
