Lord God Investigator

Chapter 21 Fate

The south peak of Huashan Mountain is divided into one peak and two tops. The east top is Pine and juniper peak, which is named after many pine and juniper trees. On the west top is Luoyan Peak. It is said that the geese returning from the south will rest on Luoyan Peak when they fly over. Because this peak is too high, the geese will not have the strength to fly over Huashan Mountain without resting.

Luoyan Peak is the pinnacle of Mount Huashan. It is the highest and most dangerous place on Mount Huashan, which is known as "the most dangerous place in the world".

Standing on the top of the peak and looking down, you can see the hills, the Loess Plateau and the Weihe Plain in the distance. The three great rivers of the Yellow River, Weihe River and Jinghe are like jade belts coiled around the earth. The river water reflects the golden sunlight, just like the jade belts. Brilliant gold-encrusted orb.

But it was late at night, and all we could see were the blurry outlines of the dark mountain ridges under the moonlight, and the occasional pine and juniper tree tops peeking out from the thick clouds and mist in the mountains.

There were no geese on Luoyan Peak, but five big bats descended.

The big bat landed, and several bright searchlights illuminated the landing place. Meng Xinghun was dazzled by the dazzling lights. Just as he was about to reach out to block it, the bat helmet automatically switched to the anti-glare mode. Under the cover of the eyepiece, he could clearly see the scene in front of him.

A huge fortress made of iron and stone stands in front of you.

This fortress is so big that the area of ​​the building has far exceeded the top of Luoyan Peak. Dozens of thick steel pillars that require three or four people to hug are inserted into the mountain. The steel pillars are crisscrossed, forming a metal platform that covers an area of ​​several hectares. When propped up, the huge fortress was built on a metal platform.

If you look at it from a distance, the fortress on the top of Luoyan Peak is like a bean stuck on the tip of a needle. It makes people feel ridiculous and incredible, but it is very real and majestic.

The entire fortress is made of huge stones, with thumb-thick iron bars as bones and bricks and stones as flesh. Meng Xinghun really can't imagine how the huge amount of building materials can be used on the long plank road, which is extremely thrilling and thrilling for people to walk on. It was transported up, how many civilians should be recruited, and how much money would be spent to build this magnificent castle.

The place where the bat landed was a metal platform. A regular large circle was drawn on the platform. In the large circle, there were two "H" shaped symbols painted with yellow paint, two vertical, one horizontal, and three. Meng Xinghun didn't quite understand what this symbol represented. Meaning, but since the bat landed here, he guessed that this probably meant "landing point".

This fortress should be the "Arkham" lunatic asylum that Afu said. It is indeed as Afu said. This lunatic asylum can only be climbed up but not down. It can be entered but cannot be exited. If a madman comes in, he will not be able to get out. Leave unless you can fly.

The steel gate of the huge fortress was open, and Ah Fu stood at the door. Several bright beams of light shot down from the fortress, illuminating both the platform where Meng Xinghun landed and the small square in front of the gate.

There were two rows of men and women in white coats standing next to Ah Fu. These people had expressionless faces and cold eyes. At first glance, Meng Xinghun felt a bit chilly. The more he looked at these people, the less human they became.

Meng Xinghun didn't know that this was actually caused by the "Uncanny Valley Effect". Those doctors and nurses were all synthetic robots from the world of "Fallout 4". In their eyes, the slight difference between robots and living people will make them feel inexplicable fear.

Ah Fu led the men and women in white coats to come forward. He pointed at Meng Xinghun's back, and someone pushed an iron bed with wheels and ran towards Old Man Liu's daughter, Xu Qingsong and the Jiang brothers, and placed them on the iron bed. Rushing into Arkham Asylum.

Ah Fu came to Meng Xinghun, cupped his hands and said, "I respectfully welcome the young master on his triumphant return."

Looking at the face that pretended to be respectful and listening to that extremely annoying voice, Meng Xinghun clenched his fists and punched Ah Fu in the face with hatred.

Meng Xinghun didn't know what was wrong with him. He had rarely been impulsive or irrational before, but he had been impulsive twice today.

He clearly knew that Ah Fu could block his fist with one finger, and then made that strange gesture with his middle finger. Meng Xinghun didn't know what that gesture meant, but he was sure that it was a gesture used to humiliate others. .

Before his fist hit Ah Fu's face, Meng Xinghun already regretted punching him. He thought he was going to see Ah Fu's humiliating gesture again.

But no, Ah Fu didn't extend his middle finger. Meng Xinghun's fist hit him in the face, sending him flying. He spun around in mid-air, although his white teeth were not knocked out. , but it also made him spit out blood.

Meng Xinghun was stunned for a while. He knew very well that he had not made great progress in Qiyu's martial arts overnight, and it was impossible for Ah Fu to lose all his martial arts overnight. How could this punch hit?

Ah Fu fell to the ground, got up quickly and came to Meng Xinghun again.

The left side of his cheek was swollen and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. He cupped his hands towards Meng Xinghun and said, "If the young master has any grievances, just express them to Ah Fu. Ah Fu's words and deeds tonight are very offensive, and he has gone too far." Please forgive me, sir. But the old servant acted like this because of Master Bu’s last words, and he did it as a last resort."

After saying that, he actually brought the right side of his face up, hoping to let Meng Xinghun punch out his anger again.

Meng Xinghun didn't want to fight anymore. If he could kill Ah Fu with one punch, he would do it without hesitation. But he intuitively felt that even if he punched Ah Fu another hundred or a thousand times, Ah Fu's face would be damaged. Even if it swells ten times or a hundred times, this old bat spirit will not die.

Meng Xinghun said coldly: "Tell me why!"

Ah Fu saw that Meng Xinghun was not planning to punch again, so he wiped his face casually, and the swollen cheeks and bloody mouth corners returned to their original state. He stood up straight and said, "Do you have the qualifications to inherit Master Bu's mantle? Even if he is My own son has also gone through a lot of tests.”

Meng Xinghun said: "If you threaten the lives of my closest relatives and friends and don't let me save the people who are complaining about injustice, is this a test?"

Ah Fu smiled slightly and said: "Everyone who becomes a hero must go through a test. Ask the deepest part of his heart to see what the proportion of "self", "superego" and "id" are in his subconscious. It affects the composition of his personality and whether the heroic personality can escape from the suppression of the 'shadow'."

Meng Xinghun didn't answer. He didn't understand what Ah Fu was talking about.

"In every man there lives a child, a hero and a devil."

Ah Fu continued: "Sometimes children will act mischievously, and the devil will confuse them, while the heroes will teach the children and suppress the devil at the same time."

This time Meng Xinghun somewhat understood.

"Master, do you want to hear a story about the Far West? The protagonist of the story is somewhat similar to what happened to the master."

Ah Fu looked at him with a smile and said, before Meng Xinghun could answer, he continued speaking on his own:

"In ancient times, there was a prince named Achilles in the Far West. His mother doted on him too much, so she dressed him up as a girl and placed him among girls, raising him completely as a girl. , Master Meng, tell me, what will Prince Achilles look like when he grows up?"

Meng Xinghun thought for a while and said: "A effeminate male among women? To spoil one's son is to kill one's son, but this queen did something wrong."

Ah Fu smiled even more and said: "This Prince Achilles is very handsome. He is even more beautiful when he is dressed as a girl than a real girl. He has lived with girls since he was a child and has never seen a man. , so his behavior is extremely elegant and gentle. When a man who doesn’t know the inside story sees him, his soul will be seduced immediately, and he will fall in love with him accidentally. "

Meng Xinghun thought of Xiao He who had grown up with him since childhood. Xiao He was a boy-female person. He was very cunning, but also very childish. He also liked to play tricks. He really looked like a jealous and vicious woman.

He sighed: "How can such a prince who is more feminine than a woman, with the same mind and spirit as a woman, inherit the throne and rule the world in the future? He has suffered miserably at the hands of his mother."

Ah Fu said: "One day, enemy soldiers invaded that country and forced their way into the royal city and into the harem. When the enemy soldiers rushed in, does Master Meng know how Achilles would respond?"

Meng Xinghun said: "Aren't you just screaming and running for your life like the palace ladies?"

Ah Fu shook his head and said: "He picked up the shield, took the guard's spear, wore a white gauze skirt and rushed into the enemy's formation with a beautiful face. With a song of "General's Order", he killed the enemy and shed blood! From then on, he happily went to the battlefield, made great achievements, led the army to defeat the invading enemy country, fled in panic, and became a great hero. Known as 'The First Warrior of Greece'!"

Meng Xinghun was stunned, but he didn't expect the ending of the story to be like this. He shook his head and said: "This story is really ridiculous. Your ability to make up stories is getting worse and worse!"

Afu smiled and said: "Achilles is a character recorded in the famous book "Homer's Epic" in the far west. "Homer's Epic" is like China's "Historical Records", it is a history book. In "Historical Records" There is also an allusion about King Qi Wei's saying, "If you don't make a sound, you will be nothing but a blockbuster." Isn't this Achilles the 'King Qi Wei' of the far west? Are the biographies recorded in "Historical Records" also absurd?"

Ah Fu pointed at Meng Xinghun and said: "Master, no one has ever taught you how to be a hero. You were born among killers and were raised as killers. You should have become the best killer in the world. Just like Achilles was supposed to be the most effeminate man in the world, but when he was pushed to the edge of a cliff, Achilles did not become the most effeminate man, but became the bravest warrior, so what about you? How to behave?"

Meng Xinghun was questioned. He never understood why he jumped impulsively. He should have calmly watched those people die. The lives of those people combined were not as good as the life of Boss Gao.

But he jumped down. Could it be that there really was a hero living deep in his heart? Even though "Queen Mother" Gao Boss has been training him as a killer, his ultimate fate is to become a hero?
