Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 569: The Loser and the Beast (6)——Fingal

Finkel's silence made Chen Runxi realize that he could not continue the story.

This is pain and nightmare, not only for Finkel, but also for Professor Schneider.

Chen Runxi didn't expect that Professor Schneider in the past would be like that, completely different from the current head of the executive department.

But now Schneider is no longer the head of the executive department, as he was removed from his position by Beowulf.

Chen Runxi really wanted to ask, "What happened next?", but he tried his best to restrain himself.

"You want to ask what happened, right?" Finkel saw Chen Runxi's thoughts and said, "If you want to ask, just ask. It's okay."

Chen Runxi nodded and asked, "How did you leave the island?"

"I don't know." Finkel smiled bitterly: "I forgot a lot of things. I don't know how I left there."

"Okay, Boss... I don't know how to comfort you."

"People like me never need comfort."

"Boss..."

Finkel ignored Chen Runxi's words and continued, "My memory became clear in the sea where we dived. I don't know how I got back there. Professor Schneider was floating next to me. He seemed to be dead, but he was actually still alive. That was his spirit of words, which could enter a state of suspended animation and minimize his own consumption."

Chen Runxi remained silent and listened quietly.

"I carried him back to the ice, and then I went back to the academy. I was on the verge of collapse. The academy sent a new team to that sea area. They didn't find the dragon, but they did find EVA and the other team members. There is a large area of ​​ice on the bottom of the Greenland Sea, and there is currently no technology to collect it. They are frozen in the ice forever, never seeing the sun. They are probably dead, but I believe they are still alive."

"Since then, I know what kind of loser I am. I am not qualified to slay a dragon at all. The power of the Dragon King is beyond your imagination. That thing is not like Norton, who is a fool who easily loses his mind. He is also not like Xia Mi, at least Xia Mi is still a good girl."

"After that mission, Professor Schneider completely joined the anti-dragon side. He applied to the principal to stop teaching and take charge of the executive department. In the Greenland Sea mission, a total of 20 of us participated in the mission, and only one and a half survived. I was that one, and Professor Schneider was the other half. If I hadn't carried him across the ice field, he would probably not have been able to save that half of his life."

"I know I can't kill the Dragon King, but others can. So I joined the principal's plan and worked for him. In that operation, what we lacked was long-range support. You know, my alchemy skills have always been good, and I have developed many killer moves. But these killer moves are so weak in the face of the Dragon King that they are not worth mentioning. I want more people to be alive, and I hope that no one will lose their lives because of this problem in the future."

"I created Norma and put EVA in the core so that I can go to her for a drink when I'm bored."

"Because of my depravity, the academy has added a new rule that couples cannot go into the water together to perform missions."

"It's kind of funny that a loser like me who can't even pass an exam and can't even memorize all the school rules can remember this one rule so clearly."

"That's the whole thing. I brought my downfall upon myself, but Chen Runxi is different. You don't have to fall with me. Of course, I'm not saying that there's nothing wrong with falling. It does save me a lot of trouble. You see, I don't have to join the executive department at all, and I don't have to consider many things. I used to run errands for the principal and vice principal, research some new functions of Norma, and later monitor Lu Mingfei. Life is just like this, and it's pretty good."

"But I'm also afraid, afraid that I will live like this until the last day of my life. I still have regrets. I hope that one day I can bring their remains back from the bottom of the sea. I also want to see the Dragon King again. Leviathan, its name is Leviathan, a thing that hides in the sea for its entire life. I'm a rotten person now, but I can be a wild beast for a while. Do you think that if I, a wild beast, go crazy, can bite off a piece of meat from that guy?"

Finkel stopped talking and poured himself into the pot.

Alcohol can make him happier temporarily, or at least less uncomfortable.

He also wanted to quit and once tried to live without alcohol, but ended up waking up from nightmares every night.

Just like Chu Zihang could not escape the viaduct on that rainy night, he could not escape the Greenland Sea.

For so many years, he wanted to go back and take a look, but he never had the courage to go.

He often thought back to the time when he thought, if he hadn't drunk that night and had stayed rational and made more correct judgments, would the EVA have been safe? If he had listened to Professor Schneider and gone into the water earlier or later, would things not have happened?

These random thoughts are meaningless. It would be better to drink some wine. If you drink too much, you will fall asleep naturally.

In the past, he didn’t like to record any beautiful moments. He was the protagonist in other people’s cameras, the elite of Kassel Academy, invincible for a generation, the Elvis Presley of Kassel Academy, and there was a long line of girls who wanted to dance with him.

Later he picked up a camera and used these things to pass the time. He recorded many beautiful things, but he was more willing to capture other moments, some funny but more memorable moments.

He didn't know how he became a paparazzi, and how he became so worried about money that he started to make some bets, and gradually he became the guy he is now.

"Boss, can I ask, do you regard Lu Mingfei as a tool or a friend?" Chen Runxi suddenly asked.

Finkel's expression was dazed for a moment. He played with the wine glass and sighed after a long time.

"Friends." He said, "At first I wanted to use him as a tool, but slowly we became friends. The reason we can become friends is not just because of our personalities, but more of a kind of... For example, he is a loser, and I am also a loser. When a loser sees another loser kill the Dragon King and realize his dream, he will feel very happy."

"Have you ever thought that he might not want to be a savior?"

"Maybe, but I have no choice. The relationship between him and me is one tool and another tool. I am voluntary, and he is involuntary."

"But Boss, he didn't go through what you went through."

"What you want to say is that he has no hatred, right?" Finkel understood what Chen Runxi meant. He hesitated to speak and then said nothing.

The words are all in the wine, one glass after another.

Looks like I can have a good sleep tonight, at least it's not that bad.
