Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 496: Prisoner Lu Mingfei! Step out!

The cold white light from the high-lumen flashlight illuminated the dark corridor, and the footsteps in the silent mausoleum sounded as gentle as drumbeats.

Leading the way was Jiude Aki, followed by Ling, Dr. Zhou Li, Ye Sheng, and Selma. At the end of the team was Lu Mingfei, who was wearing a diving suit covering his upper body.

One in front and one behind, the distance between them was actually only a few meters, but it felt like there was a galaxy between them and Zero.

This standing position was arranged by Jude Aki, although Lu Mingfei explained that nothing happened between him and Ling, they were both innocent, and what you saw was just a coincidence, and Ling was actually already sixteen years old.

However, Shude Aki still had an expression that said, "You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court," and said that it was necessary for Lu Mingfei to keep a certain distance from Ling.

Let Ling follow him and Lu Mingfei stood at the end of the team.

"Why can't I walk in front and Ling walk behind the team?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Because I don't want to stay with you, my junior brother, for the time being." Shude Aki replied with a cold face.

"And I'll lead the way," Zero added deadpan.

Lu Mingfei: "..."

I didn't expect that the police didn't come to arrest him, but the seniors came to arrest him...

The minority obeys the majority, so the prisoner Lu Mingfei could only obey the order and walk at the end of the team, watching from afar Jiude Aki chatting with Ling with a smile on his face.

"At least I integrated quickly." Lu Mingfei thought.

It was quite difficult to explain to Jude Aki why Lu Mingfei was washed away by the underwater turbulence, and when they met again, Lu Mingfei was staying in this underwater ruins in a disheveled state with a girl who looked like a loli, had a loli figure, and seemed to be a loli.

Lu Mingfei recalled the scene half an hour ago.

Lu Mingfei, who was lying against the wall with his upper body naked; Ling, who was wearing obviously oversized men's clothes and kneeling opposite Lu Mingfei; and Jiude Aki, Zhou Li, Ye Sheng, Selma and others, who were holding flashlights and watching the scene in silence.

The light of Jude Aki moved back and forth between Lu Mingfei and Ling, and finally shone brightly on Lu Mingfei's face, just like a policeman shining a light on a prisoner in an interrogation room.

After a moment of silence, Jiude Aki asked, "Junior Brother Lu, who is this child?"

Lu Mingfei was also silent. It was obvious that he didn't know how to explain this scene.

Could it be that after he was washed away by the water, he was rescued by the loli girl in front of him?
Diving and then picking up a legal loli?
Although this is true, who would believe it?
Even if Senior Brother Ye Sheng and Senior Sister Aki believed it, Zero's identity still could not be explained.

Lu Mingfei was still thinking about how to make up for the situation in front of him, but after Ling glanced at Lu Mingfei, he said to Jiude Aki: "My name is Ling."

"Zero?" Shude Aki chewed the name lightly on her lips. Like everyone else who met Zero for the first time, she was curious about her name. "The number zero?"

"Ah."

"Then Zero... why are you here? And with Junior Brother Lu." Jiude Aki glanced at Lu Mingfei while saying this.

Zero said expressionlessly: "I brought him into this mausoleum."

Upon hearing this, Jiude Aki turned around and looked at Ye Sheng, Selma and others.

There is a lot of information in this sentence.

If it was really Ling who brought Lu Mingfei in, it means that someone knew about the existence of such an underwater ruins earlier than them... no, earlier than the academy. Then Ling's identity is obviously not to be underestimated.

After all, even they only found the underwater cave hall filled with gas by accident when they were searching for Lu Mingfei, and then discovered the entrance to the dragon ruins. After finding the diving suit that Lu Mingfei had taken off in the cave hall, they speculated whether Lu Mingfei had entered the ruins through the living spirit at the door.

Is this child from another mixed-blood organization or mixed-blood family?
Aki Sakutoku smiled amiably, half bent down in front of Zero and asked, "Then how did you find this place, Zero?"

This time the answer stunned everyone, even Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded.

Zero answered, "It's not a discovery. I have always lived in this mausoleum."

"Wait a minute, you said this is a mausoleum?" Ye Sheng frowned and asked, "And you have been living in it?"

"Yes."

Ling nodded and said, "My full name is Ling Razumovskaya, and I am a princess from the Kushan Kingdom. When I was 14 years old, my country formed an alliance with the Han Dynasty and became a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. As a symbol of our marriage, I was sent to the Han Dynasty to marry His Majesty Liu Xiu. It was General Lu who was ordered by His Majesty to escort me all the way to the Han Kingdom..."

Lu Mingfei was a little confused at first, but the more he listened, the more familiar the story sounded... Damn, we're filming "Myth" here! Ling, give the movie script back to Kim Hee Sun!
"…But we fell in love with each other on the way to escort me, but we couldn't get married privately because of the ties between the country and the family. Later, His Majesty became seriously ill and sent people to look for the elixir of life. But His Majesty had passed away before the elixir was delivered. So I took the elixir of life and waited for General Lu in this mausoleum year after year. I don't know how many days and nights I waited, and finally today I waited for General Lu to come."

After saying that, Ling looked at Lu Mingfei beside him with a look that he wasn't sure if could be considered affectionate.

Lu Mingfei was speechless, thinking to himself, Ling, if your brothers and sisters believed the story you made up, they would be a miracle! Do you think they are three-year-old children?

But as soon as Lu Mingfei turned his head, he saw Selma in the crowd wiping her tears with the back of her hand: "Wow... This is so touching. Ling, you have waited for Junior Brother Lu for more than a thousand years..."

Lu Mingfei: "..."

He quickly interrupted the crying Selma: "Sister, don't really believe it... Ling was just joking with you. She is actually also a student of the academy, from the Moscow preparatory class."

As soon as Lu Mingfei finished speaking, Ling immediately nodded and agreed: "Yes, I am from the Moscow preparatory class of the academy. Hello, seniors."

This statement was obviously much easier to accept than the "princess who took the elixir of life" just now. But it was obviously not that easy to make them believe this excuse.

Selma took the tissue handed to her by Dr. Zhou and wiped her tears.

Ye Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "The academy does have a preparatory class in Russia...but why are you here with Junior Brother Lu, Junior Sister Ling? As far as I know, apart from Junior Brother Lu, Norma has not assigned any junior brothers or sisters to our team."

"Because the mission I am involved in is not your team's."

Zero spoke in a cold tone, "I am participating in Professor Yelena's research project on the correlation between the culture of western Sichuan and the historical activities of the dragon tribe in the Huaxia region. I accidentally discovered this tomb during a field survey. My student number is AI042251, and the executive department file is 042251A. You can verify my student file through Norma."

"But you and Junior Brother Lu seem to be familiar with each other." Jude Aki said. "We knew each other before. We learned diving together in Hawaii." Ling replied, "At that time, Lu Mingfei was washed into the underwater cave hall outside the mausoleum by the undercurrent. I happened to be exploring the underwater ruins and saved him."

Lu Mingfei: "..."

OK, OK, so you installed surveillance on me too, right? You even knew that I told my senior sister that I learned diving in Hawaii.

Zero, I'm afraid you're not from Kassel College, but from the KGB! Could it be that girls like you with loli bodies are born to be agents?

Although Lu Mingfei felt that Jude Aki and his group might not just believe what he and Ling said, after all, there were too many coincidences here.

However, seeing the confident expression on Zero's face when he reported his student number, everyone became skeptical about Zero's identity.

After all, Zero had already revealed his student ID and the files of the executive department. Just as she said, as long as they contacted Norma after landing, they would immediately know the authenticity of Zero's identity. No one could hack into Norma's database and forge files.

Even Lu Mingfei began to believe it a little, wondering if there really was a "Professor Yelena" who started this research topic?

"By the way, senior brothers and sisters, why are you here?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

Ye Sheng and Selma looked at each other. Zhou Li glanced at Jiude Aki next to him and said with a smile: "Let me explain it. It's like this..."

So Zhou Li briefly recounted the whole story of how Kassel Academy mobilized all the resources in the surrounding area and came out in full force to rescue Lu Mingfei after he disappeared underwater.

Several people dived from Tunnel No. 2 of the "Eye of Kuimen" and continued diving about 20 to 30 meters along the depth where they encountered the accident. Then they found the underwater cave hall filled with air, and discovered the diving suit left by Lu Mingfei and the living creature on the wall.

Then, Aki Sakude, who had the purest bloodline among the few, bit his finger and used his blood to open the door to the living spirit.

Lu Mingfei also noticed the bandage on Jiude Aki's hand. He didn't expect that his brief loss of contact would cause such a sensation, and Aki still forced herself to go into the water to search for him.

The main reason was that his lifeline was broken, so he couldn't contact the ship. And because he didn't have diving equipment, he couldn't return from the original route, so he wanted to follow Zero out of the underwater ruins from another exit and immediately get in touch with the "Moniach".

Zhou Li smiled and said, "Originally, Aji should have had a good rest. She was quickly pulled back to the surface from the deep water, and her body has not yet fully recovered. But Aji felt that it was her responsibility that you, Lu, had an accident underwater, so she insisted on going into the water to search and rescue, and she almost died when Professor Mans forbade her..."

The last word was just uttered halfway when Jiude Aki lowered his eyes and coughed, interrupting Zhou Li's words. He said with a strange expression: "Doctor Zhou, there is no need to talk about unimportant things."

Zhou Li shrugged and said with a smile: "Okay."

Lu Mingfei heard that Jiude Yaji had endured his discomfort to dive down to find him. He touched the back of his head and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister. You are so righteous."

"Well, it's enough to know that you, junior brother, are okay." Shude Aki replied indifferently.

Looking at Jiude Aki's slightly cold attitude, Lu Mingfei felt that his senior sister was indeed influenced by the fact that she had witnessed him and Ling living in the same room in disheveled clothes, and regarded him as a scumbag who betrayed his girlfriend.

After all, Senior Sister Aki knew that he had a girlfriend. When she saw the look between him and Ling, she must have subconsciously thought that he was doing something bad behind the little girl's back. What's more, Ling looked so young.

Although Senior Sister doesn’t know that she has several girlfriends…

At this time, Selma clasped her hands together and said, "Since we have found Junior Brother Lu, can we return the same way and leave here? We can also tell Professor Mans about the underwater ruins we found. Ye Sheng, do you have a spare diving suit in your diving bag?"

Ye Sheng shook the large backpack on his back and said, "Yes, I brought it with me. In order to prevent any accidents, I brought two things with me. I didn't expect to meet Junior Sister Ling. It seems quite a coincidence. The oxygen tanks outside are also enough for us to float to the surface."

Ling shook his head: "I'm afraid not. I tried, the living spirit at the door is an entrance that can only let people in, but not out. It can only let people in, but can't let people out."

"So how do we leave?" Selma asked.

"I know there is another exit." Ling said, "Or rather, that's the entrance. This silver tomb was not actually built directly underwater, but was cast by pouring silver from the ground. The craftsmen hollowed out part of the mountain along the river into something like a mold, and then poured the molten silver into it layer by layer, forming a tomb structure similar to an inverted pyramid. Later, after water erosion, the outer mountain was gradually eroded, forming the current underwater cave. So going up along these steps can actually lead all the way to the ground. I entered the ruins from that entrance."

"Junior Sister Ling, do you know how to get to the exit?"

"should."

"So this is actually the tomb of the King of Bronze and Fire?" Ye Sheng asked.

"The situation is rather complicated." Ling extended her hand to Lu Mingfei, who immediately understood and pulled her up, "Let's talk while we walk."

"Wait a moment."

Jiude Aki suddenly spoke and looked at Lu Mingfei with a complicated expression. Seeing Lu Mingfei's puzzled expression, he took Ling's hand from him.

"Ling, just come with me, and then...Ye Sheng, do you have any extra clothes in your bag? Find some clothes for Junior Brother Lu to wear."

When Lu Mingfei came back to his senses, he remembered that he was still shirtless. They had been chatting for a long time just now. Didn’t he have been acting like a hooligan in front of those senior sisters?
"We don't have any other clothes, so why don't you just wear a diving suit? It shouldn't affect your walking without fins." Ye Sheng smiled and handed a diving suit to Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei put on the diving suit angrily.

Selma came over with her hands behind her back with a mysterious smile on her face, and bumped Lu Mingfei with her shoulder: "Brother Lu, don't be discouraged, be more confident, at least you have a pretty good figure. There are few people in the academy swimming team with a better figure than you."

This kind of thing is not worth being happy about at all, okay?

"Junior brother, just follow behind the team. I think you need to keep a distance from Zero first." Shude Aki's voice came from the front of the team.

"Why can't I walk in front and Ling walk behind the team?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Because I don't want to stay with you, my junior brother, for the time being." Shude Aki replied.

"And I'll lead the way," Zero added.

"..."
