The Exchange Game Starting with Lu Mingfei

Chapter 67 Another Path

Angers did not answer immediately. He raised his hand and gently pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a fleeting golden light.

"Perhaps," he began slowly, his tone as if stating an ancient truth, "we stand on a threshold—on one side are humans, on the other dragons. And a threshold has never been a place where one can live in peace."

"But the whole world is on the threshold. In this world, everyone has dragon blood to some extent, but for the vast majority of people, dragon blood is barely worth anything."

Therefore, as long as there is anyone still alive in this world, the dragon race may make a comeback.

Then destroy the threshold and let the world perish with it!

He is such a selfish vengeful god, willing to sacrifice himself and the entire world to send all dragons to their final resting place.

Anyway, after he dies, who cares about the flood?

"Killing all humans is much simpler than slaying dragons," Huo Yuhao said expressionlessly. "With the resources of Kassel College, it's feasible, isn't it?"

"It's impossible," Angers sighed. "You should be very familiar with the Nibelungs. There are some of the most advanced hybrids who have already created artificial Nibelungs."

That is indeed a problem.

Lu Mingfei has two Nibelungen memories: the Three Gorges Bronze City and the BJ subway.

Entering the Nibelungen requires luck, as it's like a secret realm from a fantasy novel, seemingly existing in a separate space, accessible only by finding the entrance.

So, if those people hide in the Nibelungen, there really isn't a good way to deal with them...

Well, unless you send a dragon king to knock on the door.

"What is the Black King?" Huo Yuhao suddenly changed the subject.

Angers was used to Huo Yuhao's rapid leaps in thought, after all, Lu Mingfei was a very unconventional person.

"I don't know," Angers shook his head again. "Perhaps it is the creator, perhaps it is a thief who has seized the power of the world, or perhaps it is the darling of the world."

"A darling of the background, betrayed multiple times, whose fate remains unknown?" Huo Yuhao wanted to laugh.

But even this true chosen one, the darling of the world, seems to have experienced many hardships.

"Perhaps it's a case of 'Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon this person.'" Angers shrugged. "We only know the history after the Black King; no one knows when he was born, or who he really is."

All we know is—

"At the end of human history, Nidhogg the Black King will return. He is despair, and hell, and he will blot out the sky with his wings adorned with human bones. He is Skadi's scissors..."

Angers spoke slowly and heavily, as if reciting an epic.

"Then what about humans? Did they evolve from primitive humans? Were their ancestors really monkeys?" Huo Yuhao asked.

Angers' expression froze for a moment.

Where did humans come from?

"In the history of the dragons, humans seem to have existed as slaves or food, but why are humans always involved whenever the Black King is betrayed?"

Angers fell into deep thought.

Indeed, where did humans come from? How were they able to participate in the history of the dragon race, who control the elements and have long lifespans, with their weak bodies and short lifespans? And how did they always manage to become key supporting characters?

The first hybrids were born from human virgins sacrificed to dragons. This was the most shameful beginning for hybrids, yet it was accepted by all hybrids despite their reluctance.

"Is it possible that the original hybrids, like the descendants of the White King, were transformed after the Dragon King bestowed blood upon them?" Huo Yuhao speculated. "Just like a seventh-rank official in front of a prime minister's door, humans who gain the Dragon King's favor also have the opportunity to rise to prominence."

"But the bloodline of the Black King is unstable, making them more prone to becoming undead than the bloodline of the White King." Angers felt this wasn't impossible, but it seemed a bit illogical.

Huo Yuhao laughed: "Where is the White King's bloodline stable? There are so many members in the Demon Clan, Uesugi Kotetsu's father's younger brother, even Erii... is their bloodline stable?"

In Uesugi Koshi's story, his father killed his younger brother, who had transformed into a dragon at only seven months old and crawled out of their mother's womb. After that, his father gave up and became a Go master instead of a womanizer.

Angers couldn't refute: "You make a very good point."

This is more convincing than the idea that hybrids come from cross-species reproduction, but...

"Even if it's stealing dragon blood, it's still a path that humanity has forged through its own struggle and self-reliance. Compared to being granted a gift... people prefer Prometheus."

"Humans would rather start a fire by rubbing sticks together than be Prometheus," Huo Yuhao retorted. "We are born between heaven and earth, and we have the right to use everything in this world."

This is a path to greater independence and self-reliance.

"That's well said," Angers said, glancing at Huo Yuhao's profile. "So, do you think we'll win?"

"I don't know," Huo Yuhao said.

If the mystery surrounding Lu Mingfei could be unraveled, perhaps he would find the answer.

But it seems that only the Little Devil knows the answer.

"Win or lose, we can only do our best." Huo Yuhao still looked at the horizon. "You didn't leave yourself a way out, and it seems I don't have one."

It's not hard to see from Lu Mingfei's memories that he was always being pushed around by others.

"Just like Harry Potter was a savior from the day he survived the Killing Curse, the day I entered Kassel College, I was destined to walk the path of slaying dragons." Huo Yuhao finally turned to meet Angers' gaze. "So, from the moment I was fostered at my uncle's house, I was already part of your script, right?"

The little devil said that Chen Motong's appearance was an accident, but he also said that Chen Motong was the first person on Lu Mingfei's destiny line.

Chen Motong is important, but her appearance seems a bit late. Lu Mingfei has fallen in love with his senior, but she already has a boyfriend.

Therefore, his feelings were bitter. He couldn't control himself, but he also couldn't fight for it, after all, Caesar had treated him quite well.

But why can't he just rob him? Because he's a loser, he's inferior to Caesar in every way, and he feels unworthy.

Wang Qiu'er is different. She is confident and has the ability to fight for herself, even if she has no chance of winning.

Lu Mingfei has many things in his memory, some of which will appear in detail at the right time, while others are just a vague impression.

But just having a vague impression was enough for Huo Yuhao to know that the Harry Potter series existed.

"Harry's childhood was terrible, but he took off after entering school. But you should find that his unhappy childhood had a great impact on his personality." Huo Yuhao looked at the horizon again. "Impulsive, irritable, emotionally volatile, sensitive, stubborn and self-centered, and a bit insecure. Of course, he is a brave and kind child. This is the true nature of Harry Potter's personality."

"So, what did my adolescence bring me?"
