Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 501 Heartbeat
Clairvoyance.

The little bit of clear consciousness that still existed allowed Aki to barely realize his current situation.

Complex patterns continued to flood into Aki's mind. A huge, wildly growing tree appeared in front of her. The branches and leaves of the tree were scattered all over the place. The leaves gathered together looked like human faces, and when they were separated, they looked like ancient characters that she had never seen before.

"Is that the sound from before...?"

The sound coming from the depths of the tunnel seemed to have some kind of bewitching power. Aki tried to stay conscious. Reason told her that she should immediately cover her ears to block out the sound and prevent the spiritual vision in front of her from continuing to erode her spirit.

But her body didn't obey her command, and she couldn't raise her hands no matter what. It was as if an invisible knife had severed the connection between her consciousness and her body.

At this moment, Aki suddenly realized that the voice echoing in the depths of her mind suddenly weakened. Suddenly, her eyes went dark, and the illusion in her vision suddenly retreated and dissipated, and the real scene slowly flooded into the dark vision. It was like the sea water retreating back to the surface after the tide receded, revealing the original appearance of the beach below.

Still the pitch-black corridor; the silver-white walls; the flashlight dropped on the ground...

Aki slowly moved her eyes, and as she turned her head slightly, she saw Lu Mingfei's profile.

Lu Mingfei was standing beside her... and covering her ears with his hands.

Perhaps it was the hands covering her ears that helped her block out the sounds that had caused her to have clairvoyance.

"But why didn't Junior Brother Lu..."

Aki thought blankly, "Could it be because of my 'S'-level bloodline that I react calmer than others even when I am 'inspired' by the 'Word of Inspiration'?"

But then again, this might be the first time she saw Lu Mingfei with such a serious look on his face.

She didn't expect that this junior brother who usually seemed a little silly could be so serious. His tender and cute face actually revealed a calmness and reliability that was not in line with his age.

It was only at this moment that Aki noticed that this boy, whom she always regarded as a junior, was actually a head taller than her. He usually looked thin and small, but when she got close to him, she found that the muscles under his diving suit were actually quite strong and powerful, and his arm circumference was probably not much smaller than Professor Mance's.

Aki is considered quite graceful and tall among oriental girls, but when she stood next to Lu Mingfei, she felt for the first time that she looked petite and delicate, as if she was not his senior sister, but the little junior sister who was taken care of by Lu Mingfei.

Just when Aki was having these wild thoughts in her mind, the next moment, Lu Mingfei turned his head, and his concerned expression suddenly caught her sight.

Aki almost forgot that she had to dodge and just stared at Lu Mingfei.

Until the concerned voice of "Senior Sister Aki? Are you awake?" sounded in my ears.

She finally came to her senses, and turned her eyes slightly to the side, looking at the wall behind Lu Mingfei's ear. The flashlight that fell on the ground was shining vertically upwards to illuminate the ancient inscriptions on the wall.

My heartbeat... maybe a little fast?
Aki was a little flustered by the restless drumbeats in her chest. She wanted to figure out what was going on, but everything in her mind was a mess and buzzing. Her heart was filled with a thousand thoughts, just like a pair of headphones that were rolled up into a ball and stuffed into your pocket. When you take them out and prepare to use them, you find that the wires are tangled together and you can't untie them no matter what you do. You can't even find the end of the wire.

She rarely panicked like this. She was always known for her calmness in the executive department. Even when the lifeline suddenly broke during an underwater mission, she was able to deal with the changes calmly.

However, she didn't know if it was because this was her first time to carry out a mission related to the Dragon King, and because she was in the dark and mysterious ancient ruins, she felt unusually nervous.

Lu Mingfei looked at Yaji's wandering gaze and suddenly felt a little strange.

It was only after he noticed the gradually focused gaze of Aki next to him that he shifted his vigilant gaze from the dark corridor in front of him to look at Aki.

The moment the faint singing voice came over, he immediately covered the ears of Aki who was closest to him... In fact, theoretically, Zero was the one closest to him, but Zero himself was not affected by the singing, so he did not need Lu Mingfei's help.

Therefore, the singing should not have much impact on Aki.

But now Aki's vision was still confused and disorganized. No one knew what kind of vision she saw. Her face was full of conflict, as if she was struggling with something. Facing his question, Aki just pursed her lips and remained silent.

Could it be that the 'clairvoyance' has not been lifted yet?
Lu Mingfei thought about it and asked softly again: "Senior Sister? Are you okay?"

This time of questioning finally brought Aki back to her senses... It was like using a pair of scissors to cut the tangled headphone wires in Aki's heart, allowing her to come back to her senses and realize what kind of situation they were in.

"Hmm? I, I'm fine..." Yaji said with her head down. She took a deep breath, tried to suppress the mess in her mind, gently broke free from Lu Mingfei's palm, and covered her ears with her hands.

She could hear what Lu Mingfei said, and covering her ears with her hands certainly couldn't block out all the sound. It was just that the faint singing voice was originally coming from a very far distance, and it was very light, so just covering her ears with her hands was enough to block out the sound.

But the voice must have not disappeared now, because she saw Ye Sheng still crying silently against the wall not far away, and Selma was dancing passionately in the middle of the corridor. There was no accompaniment, but she danced very passionately. Even Dr. Zhou sat there in a daze. These were all reactions to being trapped in the spiritual vision.

Only Lu Mingfei, her and Ling, who covered his ears in time, did not show any abnormal behavior.

It was like the whole world had gone crazy... and they were the only three people who weren't crazy.

"It was a spiritual vision." Lu Mingfei explained the scene to Yaji, "The sound just now should be mixed with dragon language. Brother Ye Sheng was the first to have a 'spiritual vision', it should be because of the 'snake' that he heard the dragon language earlier than the rest of us."

Aki nodded: "I know."

She had taken the course "History of Dragon Studies" at Kassel College. This course sounded a bit like unofficial history in the secular world. It mainly interpreted some events in history that sounded bizarre but were actually closely related to the dragon clan.

The courses are divided into "History of Eastern Dragon Clan" and "History of Western Dragon Clan". "Eastern History" is further divided into "History of Chinese Dragon Clan", "History of Neon Dragon Clan", "History of Indian Dragon Clan" and so on.

In one section of "History of Western Dragons", it was introduced that in the epic "Odyssey" compiled by the ancient Greek blind poet Homer, there was a record of a group of sea monsters called Sirens.

This group of sirens gathered around an island covered with flowers in the ocean, and used their sweet singing to confuse passing sailors. As long as they heard their clear voices, the sailors would be seduced by the singing and rush towards them recklessly, eventually causing their ships to hit the reefs and scatter, and they would be buried around them.

Of course, based on the research of existing documents, the academic community of hybrids generally believes that this group of sirens are actually second-generation or third-generation dragons. They guard the dragon ruins on an island somewhere, and use the "Word Spirit Emperor" to seduce all hybrids who attempt to approach the island, causing them to have spiritual visions when driving their ships and be buried in the sea.

The song just now was probably similar to the song of the Siren, probably to protect something in the tomb. However, it was rare for Aki to be affected by the dragon language.

Because Aki is a rare "White King bloodline", she is almost not affected by the "Word Spirit Emperor". Even when she took the 3E exam, she only had a very weak psychic vision phenomenon, and her calm reaction was unanimously considered by the invigilators to be proof of her high bloodline.

But now there is obviously no time to study the reason. Having calmed down, Yaji looked at Lu Mingfei and asked, "Is it the spirits guarding this mausoleum? Or is there actually a dragon in this mausoleum?"

Lu Mingfei looked at the commentator Zero.

Ling shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands: "I don't know, anything is possible."

Yaji was stunned for a moment: "Hey, Junior Sister...don't you need to cover your ears?"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot." Ling said as he covered his ears again.

Lu Mingfei: "..."

You don't even want to pretend anymore, right?

In fact, the moment he heard the sound, Lu Mingfei winked at Ling, wanting him to help Aki cover her ears. After all, he is a man with a family... Although this kind of thing is not considered to be crossing the line and is not too intimate, physical contact with other opposite sexes should naturally be reduced if possible.

However, under his gaze, Ling slowly covered her ears and said that she was unable to take care of herself and asked Lu Mingfei to help Aki himself.

"Senior Brother Ye Sheng, Senior Sister Selma, and Doctor Zhou are still trapped in the 'spiritual vision'." Lu Mingfei said, "We need to wake them up immediately."

In this situation, it is obviously unlikely to expect Ye Sheng to have earmuffs or earplugs in his diving bag. The only thing they can do is to see if he has brought medical cotton or something to temporarily plug their ears, reduce the impact of the dragon language on them, and then lead them out of this dead end temporarily.

But before Lu Mingfei could make a move... the entire mausoleum began to shake again like an earthquake. The sound of the gears meshing with the metal bearings immediately overwhelmed the faint voice, and the violent vibration caused Jiude Aki to accidentally stumble towards Lu Mingfei.

The cracked floor divided the group into two groups. As the silver walls rotated and re-embedded again, the corridor changed again.
