[This is the "perfect" survival report of a cowardly soul]
What would the story be like if he traveled through time and became aware of his mistakes, but without even a trace of courage to resist fate?
This is not a story about awakening or counterattack.
This is about the possibility of "how to survive to the end without changing any tragedy."
Lu Mingfei is a more cowardly soul than the original. He knew sporadic fragments of the future - "Maybach Viaduct on a Rainy Night", "Herzog", "That girl named Eriki will die" but this information only deepened his fear.
His highest creed is: don't be seen, don't be needed, don't make choices.
So, he walked through all the plots in silence: getting into Chu Zihang's father's car on a rainy night, but tightly closing his eyes; being dragged into Kassel by Nono like a piece of luggage, but burying his heartbeat as a permanent secret; hiding with his head in the gunfire of the Freedom Day; watching Constantine roar, he tremblingly let go of the trigger that could have been pulled; he even passed by the girl in the red and white witch costume in the heavy rain in Tokyo, and felt a despicable sense of relief...
The world is still burning, heroes are still charging, and tragedies are happening step by step.
And he is always the silent abandoned piece on the edge of the chessboard,
At every moment that could change your destiny, you choose to turn around.
Until the smoke clears and the tears dry,
He sat in the corner of the world, intact and with nothing.
"Look, I survived," he said to himself.
——This was the only victory that he never wavered from.
