Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 543 You seem to understand a lot?
This was the outfit that the hunter team hired by Genjitsu agreed upon with them.

Hunters on hunter websites basically do not show their true identities. This is an unwritten rule on hunter websites. After all, hunters live a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife. In a sense, hunters and killers are similar. No killer is willing to reveal his true identity.

Everyone is a temporary team and does not know each other. They have to conceal their identities while having convenient codes to distinguish each other.

Therefore, the hunter team made an agreement with Genjitsu to use leather jackets and character masks to identify each other's identities and avoid accidental injuries between teammates.

But Lu Mingfei didn't know why the captain of the Hunter team chose a Final Fantasy character as a mask. After all, although there are many Final Fantasy players, they are not that popular. Most people only know Jerusalem... No, they only know Tifa.

If used as code names, they are obviously big IPs like "Pokemon", or popular comics like "One Piece", "Naruto" and "Bleach", which will have a higher national popularity.

Could it be that the captain of the hunter team is also a loyal fan of "Final Fantasy" like him?

However, as Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi were climbing up the stairs, Lu Mingfei suddenly saw a light coming from the dome.

Just as he raised his head, he heard a burst of gunfire. The sound of bullets tumbling out of the gun barrels echoed in the corridor, and he could hear Japanese curses.

"Brother, there was a gunshot." Xia Mi tugged at the corner of Lu Mingfei's clothes.

"Yeah, I heard it." Lu Mingfei nodded.

"It seems that the hunters have had a fight with the security of Genji Heavy Industries. Should we wait a while before going up?"

"No, the gunshots seem to be some distance away from us. And we don't know when the power system of Genji Heavy Industries will be restored. We have to rush to the computer room on the 39th floor as soon as possible before the fire control system of this building is restarted."

While Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi were still on the second floor, "Tifa" and his group had been trapped on the sixteenth floor, being attacked from both sides.

According to reliable intelligence, Genji Heavy Industries seems to have two power systems, corresponding to the inner and outer buildings of Genji Heavy Industries. The first power system is dedicated to the outer office building of Genji Heavy Industries, and the second power system is dedicated to the inner "Shinto".

And now it seems that this information should be true.

Because at the moment when Tifa and the others arrived at the sixteenth floor, the corridor doors of the thirteenth and fourteenth floors below and the eighteenth and nineteenth floors above were knocked open at the same time.

Dozens of men wearing Genji Heavy Industries security uniforms swarmed in. Each of them, as if they had received professional training, quickly formed a diamond column to occupy the commanding heights of the high-rise corridors and the blind spots of the low-rise corridors.

Countless gun muzzles protruded from the gaps in the corridor railings, aiming at the floor they were on. The sound of bullets being loaded echoed in the small stairwell.

Apparently, Kaguya's surveillance was not ineffective, as it was able to lock onto their location so quickly. The security team then quickly reached their floor via the Shinto's internal elevator.

Tifa made a gesture, and Barrett, Weedy, and Jessie immediately pressed themselves against the wall.

"Howa Type 89 automatic rifle."

Barrett looked at the muzzles of the guns searching for their location and lowered his voice in amazement: "These are the same weapons as those used by the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force, real military equipment. And the well-trained diamond column just now is a formation used by special forces in combat. Are they really just ordinary company security guards?"

Weeji said, "This is different from what we agreed. The mission only said that we had to blow up the building. We were not told that the defense of this building is comparable to that of the Pentagon."

Tifa shot a gun reconnaissance camera that was sticking out from the twelfth floor. "It's not too late to tell me now, or do you want to quit the team?"

Weiji chuckled: "It's not that I'm going to quit the team...it's just that the difficulty of the mission is different, and I have to pay more."

Barrett nodded in agreement.

Although Tifa was wearing a mask at the moment, everyone could feel that Tifa must have made a pouting expression under the mask.

Tifa looked at Jessie, another girl in the team: "What about you? Do you want to pay more too?"

Jesse, who had been carrying the suitcase, said calmly, "I'm fine with anything."

"It's fine to pay more, but we have to escape from here first before we can negotiate the price, right?"

"It looks like Miss Tifa wants to test our quality."

Barrett shrugged. "If that's the case, I have to show off my skills. I can't just take a salary for nothing... Put on your goggles."

After hearing this, the other members of the team immediately took out their goggles from their pockets and put them on. Then they saw the man take out a grappling gun from his arms.

With a "bang", the grappling hook hit the railing on the fourteenth floor, and the security personnel of Genji Heavy Industries who were blocking the stairwell turned their guns almost at the same time, and dozens of red dots instantly locked the position of the grappling hook.

Once a target appears in the sight, even if it is just a mouse, it will be pierced by the hail of bullets within a second and become the cheese in the classic cartoon "Tom and Jerry".

But the next moment everyone was stunned.

There was indeed a target in the scope, but it was not a person, nor a cat or a mouse, nor even a fly... but a ball of light, a ball of extremely dazzling light!

It was like a sun suddenly appeared in their sights!

Genji Heavy Industries is the core enterprise of the Snake Eight Families, and the security personnel equipped are naturally all mixed-bloods selected from the eight families. A well-informed captain in the security team immediately reacted to what was going on and shouted in Japanese: "It's 'Word Spirit Blazing Sun'! Everyone, close your eyes!"

But his shout was obviously too late. The high-lumen light quickly occupied the empty corridor. The strong light was originally enough to blind people temporarily. After being magnified and enhanced by the scope, it quickly made the security guards who were aiming their guns at the front dizzy. Some people even experienced a phenomenon similar to light-sensitive fainting.

The team leader also felt dizzy. Hearing the dense gunfire ringing in his ears, he gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger in the direction he had aimed at, but all he heard was the sound of glass breaking.

Then he felt a heat between his eyebrows, and he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

The sound of gunfire rang out briefly and then stopped in an instant. The moment the "Scorching Sun" lit up, the team members wearing goggles had already clearly divided their work and aimed their guns at the security team members. The pouring gunfire instantly defeated the team that surrounded them.

Barrett blew out the smoke from his gun and snapped his fingers at the others: "All solved."

"Throw a mirror to reflect the flash of 'Scorching Sun' to avoid the opponent's bullets?" Weegee touched his chin in approval: "Not a bad tactic."

Jesse said in a cold voice: "The smoke produced by Frigga's bullets may also contain anesthetic ingredients. If you smell it too much, you will feel dizzy."

"..."

Barrett quickly took the gun away from him. "Don't waste time." Tifa said, "The internal elevator of Genji Heavy Industries probably has another power supply system. We have to hurry and move before the enemy reinforcements arrive."

The sound of footsteps rang out in the corridor and gradually faded away.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps slowly approached again.

In a pool of blood on the stairs, men wearing Genji Heavy Industries security uniforms were lying on their backs in a mess, all of them holding cocked Howa Type 89 automatic rifles in their arms, and some of them were still snoring in their sleep.

Lu Mingfei squatted down and found a trace of blood on his fingertips: "It's a Frigga bullet."

"Frigga bullets? Aren't those the bullets used by Kassel Academy when playing house? Could it be that the hunter team hired by Yuan Zhinv are also from Kassel Academy?" Xia Mi asked.

"Not necessarily. The composition and manufacturing process of Frigga bullets are not complicated. Genji Heavy Industries can mass-produce Frigga bullets."

Lu Mingfei looked up, looking over the stair railings directly above him. The sound of gunfire above started and stopped, almost every one or two minutes. It seemed that the hunter team hired by Genji was indeed very skilled. The seemingly elite security force of Genji Heavy Industries was actually defeated by them.

Although there was an information gap, the Hunter Team was prepared in advance and destroyed part of Genji Heavy Industries' power system in advance, causing part of Genji Heavy Industries' defense system to be paralyzed.

However, they were able to break through the opponent's quickly assembled preliminary defenses so easily, which clearly showed that this group of hunters were no ordinary people.

Even the other party's style of doing things seemed familiar to Lu Mingfei.

But Lu Mingfei didn't have much time to think. He held Xia Mi's hand and walked over the "corpses" lying on the ground. Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi would encounter such "corpse piles" every few floors. The whole way was filled with smoke.

The numbered signs in the corridor gradually grew larger, and the number of people in the "pile of corpses" on the ground also increased. It was obvious that the closer Genji Heavy Industries got to the top of the building, the stronger the security force would be. Almost ten minutes had passed since the explosion.

During such a long period of time, the people at Genji Heavy Industries had probably realized that the intruder's target must be somewhere near the top floor, most likely a computer room on the thirty-ninth floor or above.

This was indeed the case. Within half a minute of the explosion, dozens of calls were made to all parts of Japan, and the seven heads of the Snake Eight Families learned about the attack on the Genji Heavy Industries headquarters building almost at the same time.

Based on the route taken by the Hunter Team, Sakura Yabuki immediately determined that the other party was most likely trying to invade Kaguya's computer room.

The head of the Miyamoto family, the only person near Tokyo, even dispatched a helicopter in order to reach the building as quickly as possible.

But even if we take a helicopter, it would take roughly fifteen minutes.

The Hunter Team had reached the 39th floor of the Genji Heavy Industries Building within ten minutes and had dealt with all the security team members who had blocked their way.

The "Seventh Heaven" team pushed open the door to the corridor on the 39th floor.

Unlike the spaciousness of other floors, the space visible to the naked eye on this floor was much narrower. Behind the corridor door was only a straight, narrow, dark corridor, at the end of which was a gray iron door.

"It looks like we've found our target," Weegee said.

Tifa didn't say anything, but took off the goggles worn outside the mask and put on another pair of glasses.

The moment she put on the glasses, her vision suddenly became dark, as if a scene from a Hollywood movie was unfolding before her eyes, with countless dense red rays interweaving and shifting in her field of vision.

"It looks like Kaguya's fire control system has not been destroyed. The Genji Heavy Industries Building does have two power systems. The power distribution room we blew up only supplies electricity to the outer offices. The Shinto and Kaguya's computer room inside the building are powered by another power system."

After Tifa finished speaking, she glanced at her teammates and said, "Weigi."

"understood."

Weiji shrugged, squatted down, and opened the schoolbag he had been carrying. The schoolbag was filled with all kinds of tools! From basic tools for thieves to professional hacking tools.

It seems that the configuration of this hunter team is quite balanced. They did not just find a few high-rated hunters on the hunter website and do a perfunctory job, but they carefully considered the team's combination.

Barrett is not only a master of shooting and explosives, his ability of words can also give them an advantage in encounters; and Weegee is the hacker in the team. The purpose of inviting him is to let him solve Kaguya's fire control defense system, and even the Trojan USB flash drive given to "Claude" was provided by him.

“How long will it take you?”

Tifa glanced at the watch on her wrist. "It is estimated that in five minutes, the reinforcements of the Eight Snake Families will arrive. By then, we will not be dealing with those small soldiers just now, but may have to face the heads of the Eight Snake Families."

While preparing the tools he needed, Weegee said without turning his head, "Come on, Ms. Tifa, Kaguya of Genji Heavy Industries is probably the top two computer groups in the world! It's already amazing enough to be able to decipher it! Why do you need speed?"

"Then we retreat first? Call me after you crack Kaguya's fire control system?"

"You just want to abandon me and run away! You can't play it like this. After all, we have been teammates for ten minutes!"

Weegee said, putting his backpack back on and holding up a laptop. "We need to go back to the stairwell and dismantle the camera there. The camera of Genji Heavy Industries is most likely directly controlled by Kaguya. We have to reversely access Kaguya's network through the camera's network so that I can decipher it."

"Then let's not waste time." Tifa said, "Let's go."

The "Seventh Heaven" team pushed open the door of the stairwell and returned the same way. As soon as they went out, they heard footsteps coming from the stairs below.

Several people became alert at the same time. After a moment of eye contact, everyone tacitly drew their pistols from their waists and pointed them at the stairs at the corner.

Then, they saw Claude and Alice... Oh no, it was Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi walking out from the corner.

Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi looked up at the same time, and then Lu Mingfei subconsciously called out the name.

Lu Mingfei: “…Jerusalem!”

Xia Mi: “?”

Tifa: “?”

Weeji: "Pfft! Brother Claude, you...seem to understand a lot?"
