From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 398 Don't leave me, Lu Mingze!
Those who had narrowly escaped death finally breathed a sigh of relief once 'Uesugi Erii' disappeared.

That was close! They were so close. The three of them were about to meet their 'god'.

Even Caesar, who had weathered many storms, had his back soaked with cold sweat. He said to the two men with lingering fear, "Let's go! We can't stay here any longer. Although we don't know why 'she' stopped, if she comes back, we won't be so lucky!"

This suggestion was immediately approved by Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang.

Regardless of why 'Uesugi Erii' became a puppet of the secret society, it is already a great blessing that she was able to escape with her life.

"Come up!"

Lu Mingfei hoisted Caesar onto his shoulder and ran off at full speed.

The remaining Jiude Mai could only be left to Chu Zihang. He shook his head helplessly, carefully carried her on his back, and then followed after him, dragging 'Seven Deadly Sins' along with him.

Caesar, perched on his shoulder, was so dizzy from the jostling that he nearly vomited his dinner, but managed to hold it in in order to preserve the last shred of his aristocratic dignity.

Despite having just engaged in a fierce battle, Lu Mingfei's stamina was surprisingly abundant.

Even Chu Zihang, who was following behind, felt like he was about to fall behind and couldn't help but say, "Is that enough? We've run far enough!"

"That's it."

Lu Mingfei found a secluded spot and kicked open the door.

Fortunately, there was no one inside; otherwise, what difference would there be between forcibly breaking into a private residence and being a bandit?
Caesar breathed a sigh of relief, only to be thrown to the ground by Lu Mingfei, wincing in pain: "Could you be a little gentler?"

"Sorry, I'll be more careful next time." Lu Mingfei sat to the side, panting heavily.

"What do we do now?" Chu Zihang carefully placed Jiu Demai on the bed, and like Lu Mingfei, sat down cross-legged to analyze the current situation: "Frost, I don't know if we can still trust him, and Xia Mi and Nuonuo have also been kidnapped."

“No, the Gattuso family has connections with the Secret Order!” Caesar said weakly. “What’s the deal with Nono and Xia Mi?”

Chu Zihang remained silent for a moment, then recounted everything that had happened.

Caesar's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "I can roughly guess their purpose."

As he spoke, he took out the black book wrapped in silk cloth, his tone solemn: "This is why I betrayed Gattuso. The Secret Order attempted to summon a terrifying being according to the ritual described in the book. Xia Mi and Nuonuo are probably the chosen sacrifices."

Offerings?!
Lu Mingfei frowned; it was just as he had thought.

Mr. Adam has temporarily fallen into a disadvantageous position in his confrontation with the Secret Order, and has even lost a Dragon King; otherwise, the Secret Order would not have been able to proceed so smoothly.

"Do you have any idea?"

Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei.

For some reason, he always felt that this 'junior' seemed to know a lot of things.

Regarding that mysterious secret society's plan to summon the 'King in Yellow' through a ritual, perhaps there is some way to resolve this?

"I I don't know"

Lu Mingfei lowered his head in a daze.

He couldn't tell the two that it wasn't just Xia Mi and Nuonuo who had disappeared, but also his little devil!
Caesar turned to Chu Zihang and said, "Let's try to contact the academy and tell the principal what's going on here."

Now, they are like stray dogs, with nowhere to go in Rome, which is vast.

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Chu Zihang took out his cell phone and dialed the emergency contact number for Norma.

However, the enemy seemed to have anticipated this and cut off the signal directly.

"No, we can't get in touch with them."

After trying several times without success, Chu Zihang had no choice but to give up and shake his head.

"If I'm not mistaken, it was probably Frost who did it."

Caesar gave a wry smile. Besides his 'uncle,' who else could be so powerful as to cut off the signal of an entire city?

"I'll try other ways to contact the college."

Chu Zihang thought for a moment and said, "Cutting off the signal of an entire city certainly won't last long, and it will inevitably attract Norma's attention."

"it is good."

Caesar nodded, agreeing with his opinion.

"Take a rest for now." Lu Mingfei finished bandaging Jiu Demai's wounds and then said to the two of them, "There are less than five hours left until dawn. Chu Zihang and I will take turns on night watch tonight. You two should get some rest. There will be a big battle tomorrow, and you are indispensable combatants."

"You've worked hard." Caesar nodded, not arguing with the two, as he did need rest.

"I'll take the first shift."

Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang and said, "You'll come and relieve me in two hours."

"Ah."

Chu Zihang was always concise in his actions; he found a corner and curled up.

Soon, the room fell silent, with only the soft sound of breathing. Lu Mingfei quietly went outside, sat on the edge of the rooftop, and gazed at the city.

Lu Mingfei, who was immersed in his own world, suddenly seemed to be seeing a hallucination.

Deep within the dimly lit church, a pale boy was nailed to a cross, his blood flowing down his body and converging into intricate and profound patterns on the altar below.

Lu Mingfei stood in front of the boy, his face filled with deep fear.

He recognized the boy nailed to the cross; his name was Lu Mingze, and he was his little devil!
Lu Mingze, who appeared to be dead, slowly opened his eyes, his pupils shining with a magnificent gold, exuding a fearsome aura.

But the moment he saw Lu Mingfei, his majestic golden eyes softened considerably, revealing a kitten-like dependence.

"Brother, you are finally here."

On Lu Mingze's pale, bloodless face, a very forced and weak smile appeared.

"Kojima Naruzawa, how could you have become like this?!"

Lu Mingfei's pupils shrank sharply, and he bit his lip until it bled. An uncontrollable heartache seemed to be destroying him.

"Everyone has to go through that day, doesn't they?"

Looking at the anger in Lu Mingfei's eyes, Lu Mingze smiled as if relieved, with a hint of relief: "Brother, I'm going to die. The rest of the work can only be done by you."

"No, no!" Lu Mingfei was terrified. Upon hearing these words, he suddenly felt an unprecedented fear.

It's like having your heart ripped out, leaving your chest empty, filled with endless sorrow and anger.

"You're a devil, you won't die, right?!" Lu Mingfei stared intently at the boy, a pitiful, pleading expression on his face. "You're so powerful, you definitely won't leave me!"

"Yes, I am the devil, I will not die."

His pupils, as fiery as the sun, reflected Lu Mingfei's figure. The boy said softly, "I will stay with you until the world ends, but please let the devil rest this time."

"No, no! I won't allow it!"

Lu Mingfei suddenly roared, and a blazing golden light burst forth from his pupils, enveloping the church with unparalleled majesty.

"I will not allow you to die! Lu Mingze!" His voice was like an emperor's decree, and the atmosphere and even the space itself trembled, as if in fear of the mad boy.

"Brother, beware of the Secret Order, beware of the King in Yellow, Hastur."

Lu Mingze's fiery golden eyes gradually dimmed, but he smiled with relief: "Brother, no one can stop you, as long as you are willing to reclaim your supreme power!"

"I don't want any power, I just want you!"

Lu Mingfei's voice was trembling with tears as he desperately pleaded, "Please, please don't leave me, okay?"

However, the boy's golden eyes went out, and in their place, another pair of golden eyes lit up.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei regained his 'power'!
He could clearly feel the dragon blood flowing through his body roaring and howling in anger, unleashing a power powerful enough to destroy the world!

Deep within those golden pupils burns a jet-black flame of vengeance!
"no no!!!"

Lu Mingfei was furious and ferocious, like a lion awakening, with dazzling golden light flashing in his eyes.

The violent and ferocious aura was like a tsunami, instantly filling the entire room. Layer upon layer of air waves rolled over, and the already rotten wooden planks crumbled inch by inch.

“Lu Mingze!!!”

His voice was extremely mournful, as if he were weeping blood.

With tears streaming down his face, Lu Mingfei desperately reached out his hand, as if trying to hold onto something, but his fingers grasped at the air and all he got in return was emptiness.
