Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 549 The Disappearing Intruder

An hour had passed since the headquarters building was attacked. During this hour, the people of the Eight Snake Families had completely blocked the entire building, and the family heads personally led people to search the building thoroughly.

According to Sakura Yabuki, who had fought with the opponent, someone in the opponent's team might have mastered a high-risk wind-related Word Spirit. As the elevator fell, she felt a huge wind field gushing out from the bottom of the shaft, and speculated that the opponent might have used the Word Spirit to escape from the falling elevator.

The head of the Miyamoto family led his men down the elevator shaft with safety ropes tied to them. The traces of damage to the shaft walls and the elevator doors that were blown open along the way confirmed Sakura Yabuki's statement. They also found no trace of anyone in the elevator car that had fallen to the bottom and had been smashed into a discus.

Only Nanami Sakurai, the head of the Sakurai family, found two discarded fire brigade uniforms in the stairwell, from which she speculated that some members of the hunter team might have followed the fire brigade in. Then they might also take advantage of the chaos and leave the building with the evacuating fire brigade.

Apart from that, they gained nothing.

The patriarch Tachibana Masamune, who has always presented himself as an approachable person, rarely got angry after this attack. He called the heads of the eight Snake families and the executives of Genji Heavy Industries to the reception room and scolded them.

This is not surprising. After all, Genji Heavy Industries is just a company on the surface, but in fact it was built according to the standards of a military fortress. The Genji Heavy Industries headquarters building is also the location of the Japanese branch executive bureau.

The Sheqi Eight Clan had always boasted that the security of Genji Heavy Industries was as solid as a rock, and that its safety level was comparable to that of Kassel Academy. But today, a team that came from nowhere turned it upside down, and even Kaguya's host was infected with a virus. Now the information network that the Sheqi Eight Clan was so proud of has not been restored.

You still have the nerve to claim that your security level is comparable to Kassel College? Would Kassel College's ice cellar be so easily invaded?
Even if Tachibana Masamune didn't scold them, the heads of the families would feel ashamed. After all, the slap was too loud today. If it got out, the prestige of the Sheqi Eight Families would be greatly lost.

Due to the previous battle, the internal elevator of "Shinto" was temporarily out of service.

Gen Chisei patrolled the stairwell from floor to floor, trying to see if there were any clues that the search team had missed. Yabuki Sakura followed behind him to report.

"Have the people who attacked the casino and water teahouse been caught?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.

"We caught them. There are 27 teams in total."

Sakura Yabuki lowered her head and said, "But I'm afraid there's no way to get useful information from them. They are just a group of middle school dropouts who are usually uneducated and yearn for the life of a biker gang. They bought motorcycles by extorting pocket money from classmates and working part-time.

According to one team, they did not know the people from the other teams. The reason they attacked those casinos and water tea houses was that someone found them at the place where they often raced cars the day before yesterday, gave them some money, and said that their rivals had been stealing their business recently, so they asked these high school students to help teach their rivals a lesson.

These high school student bikers usually live in poverty, and the money they received was quite a bit, so they took the risk and did it, not knowing that the casinos were family businesses. Now they regret it and are willing to work part-time to pay off their debts. The head of the Ryoma family has already investigated, and what they said is true. "

Yuan Zhisheng was not surprised. It was common for gangs to hire young high school students to do things. If the other party dared to launch such a large-scale attack, they must have been prepared in advance. Naturally, it was impossible for him to find them so easily.

Gen Chisei nodded and said, "Tell the head of the Ryoma family to continue to track down the identity of the person who hired them. If there is any news, inform me as soon as possible. I will go and see how Eri is doing."

After all, the entire building had just been attacked and the internet and power were cut off. Although Eri was absolutely safe, he was still worried about whether Eri would be frightened.

Although Eri is already 17 years old this year and will be an adult in a year, in his heart, Eri has always been just a little sister.

"Yes."

Sakura Yabuki lowered her head behind her, and sensibly stopped at the stairwell of the "ξ" floor, watching Yuan Zhisheng slowly walk down the stairs. The "ξ" floor was a taboo place for most of the Snake Eight Families. Except for the head of the family and Yuan Zhisheng and a few others, no one else was allowed to enter the "ξ" floor. Even though Sakura Yabuki was Yuan Zhisheng's personal secretary, she was not allowed to do so.

Yuan Zhisheng walked down the winding stairs alone. When he walked out of the stairwell, he glanced at the elevator door next to him that was damaged by the strong wind.

"..."

Probably not?
Yuan Zhisheng shook his head and dismissed this ridiculous idea. Even if the other party really broke into the "ξ" layer in a hurry, there was no place for people to hide in the corridor.

As for hiding somewhere deeper inside? That's even more impossible. Every security door here has an independent access control system, and only a few people have the authority to open the door...

wrong!

Yuan Zhisheng was suddenly stunned.

He remembered that there seemed to be someone in the hunter team who had the ability to open doors. The door of Kaguya's computer room was opened by her easily before.

The entire Genji Heavy Industries headquarters building was searched from top to bottom by the head of the Miyamoto family, except for the forbidden "ξ" floor, which had never been searched, and he never thought that the hunter team would reach this floor.

But after eliminating all other options, the impossible will become possible...

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhisheng suddenly had an ominous premonition. He raised his head and glanced at the security door in front of him. The door was intact and there was no sign of violence from the outside. But his steps became hurried, and he walked quickly to the door and pressed his fingerprint to open the door.

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor. Yuan Zhisheng walked through one door after another, and his cold gaze swept through every corner of the corridor. There was no place where people could hide in the empty corridor, but as cautious as he was, he did not miss any corner.

He walked all the way to the door of Eri's room and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he hadn't seen anyone along the way.

Fortunately, the other party did not come to the "ξ" layer.

Gen Chisei opened the door of Eri's room. Amid the sound of the air pressure valve releasing, he saw Eri kneeling in front of the PS2 game console and TV, playing "Xenoblade" with the game controller in her hand.

This is a classic sci-fi RPG game launched by Namco in 2002. It’s been a while since it was released, but the gameplay is still as good as before. Genjitsu himself also likes this game very much.

"Playing games?" Gen Chisei smiled and sat down next to Eri.

Eri nodded to Genchisei and continued to watch the game on the TV screen.

In the picture, the character "Shion Uzuki" controlled by Eri is casting magic on the enemy. "Shion Uzuki" is the protagonist of "Xenoblade", and was a shrine maiden in her previous life. This is very appropriate for Eri's identity.

"There was a power outage in the building just now. Were Eri scared?" asked Gen Chisei.

"Don't be afraid, there is no power outage here." Eri picked up the notebook and pen on the ground and wrote her answer.

"Has Eri been behaving well and staying in her room?"

"Have."

Genji hesitated for a moment. Although he knew that the group of people who invaded Genji Heavy Industries could not break into Eri's room, he still asked out of caution: "Did Eri see any strangers during the time she was in the room?"

Eiry tilted her head, and a thoughtful look flashed in her dark red eyes. She felt that Lu Mingfei should not be a stranger, so after a moment Eiry shook her head.

Seeing Eri shaking her head, Gen Chisei couldn't help but smile in his heart at his own naive thoughts.

Although Eri is still a child, she is actually the ultimate killer of the Snake Eight Clan. If that group of invaders really broke into Eri's room illegally, how could Eri let them leave safely?

Yuan Zhisheng touched Eri's head and said, "That's fun, Eri. I'm leaving now. By the way, I've already bought the PS3 that I asked Crow to buy last time. I forgot about it this time. I'll bring it to Eri next time."

Gen Chisei propped himself up on the wooden floor and prepared to leave the room. At this moment, he saw Eri's eyes unconsciously glance somewhere behind him.

This little movement certainly did not escape Yuan Zhisheng's eyes. If the other party showed this little movement during the interrogation of the prisoner, then the other party was most likely hiding something. But the one who made this little movement was Eri, how could Eri lie to him? It was even more impossible for her to hide other people in the room without telling him.

Gen Chisei looked in the direction where Eri had just looked. There was a long walkway in the room. She was looking at one of the sliding doors next to the walkway, which was the Japanese-style room (reception room) of the room. There was obviously enough space behind the door to accommodate people.

"..."

Genshisei didn't want to doubt Eri...

However, after a brief hesitation, out of caution as the manager of the Yuan family, he immediately made a decision and felt that it would be safer to check it out again.

Yuan Zhisheng turned around and smiled at Eri: "By the way, my mouth is a little dry. Can I have some tea here with Eri?"

Eri nodded and wrote on the notebook: "I'll go pour it for you."

"No, I can pour it myself. The teapot should be in the Japanese-style room, right?"

As Gen Chisheng said this, he walked towards the trail behind him. Eri's face showed a trace of panic, and she quickly stood up and followed Gen Chisheng. And Eri's reaction obviously aroused Gen Chisheng's suspicion even more.

He strode on the floor and walked to the door of the Japanese-style room. He turned his head to glance at Eri's panicked expression behind him, and reached out to pull -
