Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

"From what I know, your life is definitely the kind that everyone would envy, except that your parents are not involved. After the hardships of junior high school, your destiny seems to have entered a flowering period, and everything is changing for the better. If you stay in the world of ordinary people, you can get everything you want, but why do you want to join this world?"

"What world?"

"The world of dragons." The old man pushed up his glasses. The pair of iron-gray pupils behind the brown frames were like a knife that could pierce into the soul. They stared at the eyes of the boy surrounded by the long curved table.

Lu Mingfei lowered his head and stared at his feet. He was surrounded by glass on all sides, a huge glass curtain wall that seemed to lead to the sky. Elderly people who looked to be two hundred years old, wearing formal white robes and badges, surrounded him with different expressions.

"I read a book before, written by Sidney Sheldon. It said that a guy woke up one morning with amnesia. There was a film implanted on the inside of his thigh with a Swiss bank safe deposit box password starting with 4 zeros. When he opened it, he found that it was full of guns and ammunition, as well as passports and large sums of cash." After a moment, he raised his head, his tone and eyes calm, and looked into the eyes of the old man in front of him.

The committee is the management of the shelter. The person who is talking to Lu Mingfei is Duden, an expert in cognitive science. He is from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and is a gray-haired old German gentleman.

"The Sky Is Falling?" Duden asked.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, "Rage of Angels." he said.

"The Sky Is Falling," Dr. Duden smiled. "The Sky Is Falling is its original title. So what you mean by this novel is..."

“That’s great. Suddenly someone told me that my mission is to save the world and fight dragons. I feel that this world is much bigger than I imagined.” Lu Mingfei shrugged.

"Do you want the world to have greater ambitions? That's an interesting argument, but it also fits the imagination of an adolescent boy." Duden nodded.

"We all know that you are the son of Secretary-General Lu Lincheng, but if you and your friends want to live in this shelter, necessary scrutiny is unavoidable," he said, glancing at the independent square table next to him.

Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini were dressed in formal attire and sat upright. As Lu Mingfei's family members, they were not qualified to participate in the interview, but serving as a jury was their right.

"I know. Khorkina has already mentioned this to me before. The purpose is to verify my identity and prove that I am not as vicious and evil as the school board said, a terrorist who wants to subvert human civilization." Lu Mingfei nodded to show his understanding.

The side door of the conference room was pushed open, and Lu Lincheng's assistant Natasha walked slowly to Lu Mingfei, pushing a fairly sophisticated instrument.

"Polygraph." Natasha inserted electrodes one by one all over Lu Mingfei's body. These needle-shaped electrodes looked intimidating, but in fact, the pain was very little during insertion. Besides, since this woman could become the assistant of the person in power, she must be very smart and every move she made was very gentle.

"There are trace amounts of LSD in the air near you. The electrodes of the polygraph will stimulate your heart to pump blood at a faster rate, quickly delivering the hallucinogens that are inhaled into your lungs along with oxygen to your brain. The function of this thing is definitely not as simple as just detecting lies. It should also have a certain hypnotic effect." Eva reminded Lu Mingfei.

The state of mind existing outside the body has never been recorded in history, and neither humans nor humans have the means to detect her presence.

Lu Mingfei had expected this and did not show any shock.

In the early hours of the night, Lu Mingfei and Ling, who were still asleep, were awakened by the ringing of a closed-circuit phone. On the other end of the phone was Lu Lincheng's voice, which was so calm that it made people feel a little chilled. He said that the committee decided to investigate you immediately, so Lu Mingfei put on his clothes and went out.

Haven was eager to move the process to the next step, but they were reluctant to let Lu Mingfei realize this in order to avoid arousing his suspicion.

But they didn’t forget that Lu Mingfei had already become alert because of various anomalies.

"Your position and status in Kassel College." Natasha sat down opposite Lu Mingfei, smiling, with a thin scent of cypress shrouding her body. "Take a test to see if this polygraph is working properly."

Lu Mingfei nodded: "According to the principal, I am the only student in the past 40 years who was directly assessed as having S-level bloodline after admission and the 3E exam. I am also the founder of the Dragon Blood Society, a fraternity that can compete with the Student Union and the Lionheart Society."

"His nerve fluctuations, heart rate, and blood pressure are normal. By checking the database, we can also be sure that what he said is true and there is no cognitive difference." Natasha stared at the screen of the polygraph, her brows relaxed, and her voice echoed clearly in the conference room, "Everything goes well, so the interview can begin."

"Lu Mingfei, as far as I know, you are now wanted worldwide by the academy. The school board believes that you are an extremely dangerous target, possibly a high-level dragon lurking in human society." The first person to speak was an equally old and energetic old man sitting next to Dr. Duden. His eyes were as deep as the sea. Just by looking at those eyes, Lu Mingfei felt that there were few people in the world who could make up a lie that could deceive everyone from such turbid pupils.

"We have carefully studied all of your deeds and behavior patterns since you entered Cassel Academy. After a fair and democratic vote, more than half of the votes were convinced that this was just a lie by the school board. This is also one of the main reasons why Haven is willing to provide shelter for you and your friends. So I hope you can explain your views on this matter."

"I am a threat to some or all of the people on the school board. Discrediting me or getting rid of me may be a good option for them," Lu Mingfei said.

Faced with such remarks, the old man just smiled gently.

There was no abnormality in the polygraph test, which meant that Lu Mingfei did not lie. At least in his opinion, the school board was indeed not trustworthy.

"Power is the most addictive poison. Those who are addicted to it will eventually be unable to extricate themselves. Maybe you are right, child. A living saint will always be a threat to the king." said the old man.

"So do you consider yourself human?" asked another committee member.

Lu Mingfei's answer to the previous question was ambiguous. In fact, what the committee really wanted to know was whether he was a human or a dragon.

If the safe haven is a real refuge, then identity verification of new members becomes crucial.

"Sometimes I do doubt my identity as a human being, because before I appeared in the history of the secret party's dragon slaying, there has never been a record of killing a dragon king alone." Lu Mingfei said, "If what you want to know is what I am... I'm sorry that I can't answer you, because even I don't know. In a sense, we showed up in Siberia to find the answer to this question." The committee members exchanged glances, and they were obviously not satisfied with this answer. Lu Lincheng frowned, leaning back in the high-backed chair, his eyes flickering under the lenses, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

Only Qiao Weini looked even more nervous than Lu Mingfei. She tightly grasped the pen in her hand, leaned forward slightly, and pursed her lips.

For a mother who is engaged in related research, the fact that her son has severe cognitive impairment is clearly a very dangerous loss.

"In fact, we have always been curious about how you managed to kill a Dragon King-level target." Another committee member twirled the pen in his hand. "The video of your battle with Odin in Chicago has long been circulated in various forums in the hybrid world. In addition, the committee also obtained all the video materials about the Kuimen Incident and the Chicago Six Flags Amusement Park Incident from the academy. Most of us believe that the combat power you have shown can resist high-level dragons of the second-level, but it is difficult to face a fully revived first-generation species alone... But your personal file clearly states that you killed Fenrir, the King of the Earth and Mountains, in the Nibelungen subway in Beijing, and confronted White King Izanagi and White King Herzog head-on in Tokyo Bay."

"It is indeed difficult for me to fight against the Dragon Kings by myself, but if I want, I can transform into a monster during the battle. In that state, even the four great monarchs are no match for me."

"Wait, you mean transformation, right? Completely changing from one life form to another?" A committee member knocked on the table.

Lu Mingfei thought for a second: "No, it's closer to dragonization, but it's complete and thorough dragonization. Unlike those forbidden techniques that condense bloodlines, I transformed from a human form to a dragon form. That feeling is very wonderful, as if all the power in heaven and earth has been infused into my body. With just one command, all the permissions in the world are open to me."

"Permissions?"

"Yes, it is the authority that the dragon race has over this world. When I become a monster, I can use all the words below the top secret level." Lu Mingfei nodded, "Including Judgment, Commandment, Black Sun, Time Zero and Moment."

“Is even a word spirit like Rhine, which can severely injure or even kill the Dragon King, included in this range?” The committee member in the corner raised his hand and asked.

"I haven't tried it, but I think it should be." Lu Mingfei gave an affirmative answer.

"It sounds like Mirror Pupil. This ability, which is not even in the Word Spirit Sequence List, was like a miracle when it was first observed by humans." Dr. Duden said gently, "My dear child, I am afraid you still think I am only quoting the definition in rhetoric, but in fact it is a miracle. Word Spirit is essentially the recitation of dragon words to trigger the resonance of elements, but simply reciting the language of dragons cannot achieve the effect of distorting the rules. As you said, only those who truly have the authority can use the holy words corresponding to the authority. Of course, you have fought against opponents at the level of the four monarchs, and you know that the first generation can simulate the Word Spirits of almost all other dragons below 109, and you can even simulate Rhine. Do you know what this means?"

Lu Mingfei shook his head blankly.

"When you become a monster, your authority may be equivalent to that of the four kings." A committee member nodded and said, "This is incredible. We have never seen such abilities. Even those fallen hybrids in the laboratory who were forced to push their violent blood to the third degree under supervision are far behind the Dragon King."

"Can you show us your transformation on the spot?" The person who spoke this time was a Chinese, who also looked like an academic master.

Lu Mingfei sighed, "It's not without cost for me to initiate this transformation. Every time I do something like this, I have to pay a quarter of my life."

He did not lie, because he did not specify who paid for that quarter of life.

"It's like a satanic ritual," said another committee member.

Dr. Duden frowned: "You mean, transaction?"

Lu Mingfei was shocked by the thinking ability of these old men, and then he nodded: "Yes, it is a deal. There is a devil living in my mind. He told me that as long as I give a quarter of my life, he can help me do everything in the world, including becoming the king of the world."

"So he was the one who killed the Dragon King?" Dr. Duden smiled.

"I'll try first. If I can't defeat them, I'll ask for help." Lu Mingfei nodded. "But it's hard to kill the first generation by myself."

"It sounds like a Faust story... Have you ever proposed some absolutely impossible tasks? Realizing international communism, perfecting controlled nuclear fusion technology, asking to help your country achieve interstellar colonization?" Dr. Duden showed a unique and strong interest. "Becoming the king of the world can be accomplished through violence, and destroying everything is easy to do. But creating epoch-making technology and realizing the concept that humans aspire to but goes against human nature is the authority of the omniscient and omnipotent God... Until now, we still don't know what kind of religion the dragon civilization believed in during its glorious era. Maybe there was another greater race before this group?"

"I asked him to help me build the four modernizations." Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment, "He asked me, 'Brother, if I help you build the four modernizations, you can die, right?' I was scared, so I rejected this wish again."

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone was exchanging glances in silence. Only Qiao Weini stood up suddenly, staring with pale eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Lu Mingfei! I remember clearly when I gave birth to you, you were the only one who crawled out of my belly!" She yelled at Lu Mingfei in a hoarse voice.

Lu Mingfei was frightened and shrank back.

"Please don't disrupt the order of the meeting!" Natasha hit the table heavily with a wooden hammer.

"You look more nervous than your son, Winnie. Would you like a drink?" Dr. Duden smiled.

Before Qiao Weini could answer, a waiter came in with vodka, and a committee member raised his hand to indicate that he also needed a glass.

"Kid, you mean that the devil calls you brother, right?" Dr. Duden looked at Lu Mingfei again.

"I think so, he always calls me that." Lu Mingfei did not hide it.

The cold wind from Siberia seemed to pour into the warm room at this moment, and everyone shivered suddenly. (End of this chapter)
