Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 550 The storm is coming

The lights on the trail shone into the dim house. A kotatsu table was placed in the middle of the room with a teapot on the table. Statues of Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susanoo were hung on the white walls.

Yuan Zhisheng glanced around, walked to the kotatsu table, and used a boy's knife to cut open the quilt. There was no one under the table, and there was nothing but a burning stove emitting a red glow.

Gen Chisei felt that he understood the reason for Eri's panic, so he squatted down to turn off the stove, then turned around and looked at Eri.

"Didn't I tell you to turn off the fire immediately after leaving the kotatsu table? Otherwise, it's easy to cause a fire accident."

Gen Chisei smiled and said, "I won't punish Eri this time. If Eri makes a mistake again next time, I will make her copy the word 'kotatsu table' a hundred times."

Eri immediately hid her hands behind her back in panic, as if she was very afraid of the punishment from Gen Chisei. A hundred times? How long would it take her to finish copying?

Out of caution, Gen Chisheng opened all the other sliding doors on the walkway and checked again. Only after making sure that there was really no one there did Gen Chisheng leave Eri's room.

Hearing the sound of the heavy vault door closing again, Lu Mingfei's heart finally settled down. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the impatient voice of the girl next to him came over.

"The person has left."

Jiude Mai raised an eyebrow, "How long do you plan to hold me?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei immediately let go of her hand, the warm and soft touch still lingering in his palm.

Xia Mi shrugged her shoulders and said, "Brother might still be feeling bad that Yuan Zhisheng didn't stay longer. If he had stayed a little longer, brother could have hugged him a little longer."

"How is that possible! Is this how I am in your heart, Junior Sister?"

"Who else could he be? A pure love warrior who has dated four girlfriends?"

"..."

Well, he couldn't refute Xia Mi's words. After all, he did date four girls. And there might be a fifth one soon...

At this time, the sliding door was opened again, and Eri stood at the door looking at them, with light shining in her beautiful red eyes.

Eri wrote in the notebook: "When my brother opened the door just now, you were not in the room. Now you are there again. Where were you hiding?"

Lu Mingfei looked at the words on the notebook and scratched his head, not knowing how to explain it. It was actually Jiude Mai who unfolded the alchemical field of "Mingzhao" and covered them all, so Yuan Zhisheng didn't see them.

The space inside the Japanese-style room was not large, and Shude Mai did not expand the area of ​​"Dark Light" to the maximum. They could only hug each other and squeeze into a dimly lit corner. This was because if the area of ​​"Dark Light" was opened too wide, once the light from outside the trail shone on the black fog of "Dark Light", it would show a color difference similar to the scenery in the picture being on different layers.

Fortunately, Yuan Zhisheng did not turn on the light switch at the door of the room, otherwise he would have seen a cloud of black mist spreading faintly in the corner of the bright Japanese-style room.

Although Eri possesses the "Word Spirit: Judgment" with serial number 111, she has been hidden in Genji Heavy Industries by the Snake Eight Clan, and probably has not learned the concept of Word Spirit.

Her bloodline is extremely pure, and she can speak dragon language as soon as she opens her mouth. For her, releasing the word spirit is as simple as blinking an eye. This is why she never speaks. It's not that she can't speak, but as soon as she opens her mouth, the spell of the word spirit will automatically come out of her mouth.

Lu Mingfei thought about it and decided to say something that would be easier for Eri to accept.

"Actually, we were performing a magic trick for Eri just now. It was a living person transformation. Has Eri seen it?" Lu Mingfei said.

The light in Eri's eyes became brighter: "Magic? Are you magicians?"

Lu Mingfei smiled and nodded.

Xia Mi and Jiude Mai were secretly complaining to their senior brother (Lu Mingfei) that he was such a liar... Could he really feel at ease kidnapping such an innocent girl? !

“Is there a magic show outside too?”

"Yes. There are all kinds of performances outside. Eri can watch whatever she wants."

As Lu Mingfei spoke, he subconsciously rubbed Eri's head. The red-haired girl, who was known as the most powerful weapon of the Snake Eight Clan, was stunned for only a moment before she openly accepted Lu Mingfei's slightly intimate gesture.

"Then let's go. My brother just left and won't be back for a few days." Eri wrote in a small notebook and held it up for Lu Mingfei to see.

Lu Mingfei looked at the words on the small notebook, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. There were only a dozen words written lightly on the notebook, but behind them were the rules that Eri had figured out after living alone here for many years.

Eri is about the same age as Nono. How many years has she lived here? Ten years? Fifteen years? When she first moved into this room, she must have been looking forward to having someone to play with her like all other children, right?
But she waited and waited, again and again, until she gradually figured out this pattern: after her brother came once, he would have to wait for several days before coming to play with her again. This is probably why Eri wanted to run away from home so much, everything outside was new to her. Even the air was freer than here.

"Okay." Lu Mingfei nodded: "Let's go now."

Eri wrote: "But I need to know your name first."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. This question touched a certain place in his heart.

"My Japanese name is Sakura." Lu Mingfei said after thinking for a while.

Eri nodded, wrote something on the notebook, then tore off the paper and threw it on the wooden floor of the room.

Xia Mi curiously leaned over to take a look, and it said:

"Sakura and I are going out to play and will be back in a few days."

……

"Is everything cleaned up?" asked Yuan Zhinv.

"It's been cleaned up." Sakurai Kogure nodded and replied, "I just received a call. The person hired to contact the high school biker gang has been killed. The body was tied with barbell plates and sunk into Tokyo Bay. The clues held by the Snake Eight Clan have been cut off here, and they can't find the Menggui Clan."

"Even if there are no clues, my brother can guess that it was us who did it."

Gen Chinuo had a faint smile on her face, and she took Sakurai Kogure's report lightly. The middleman who was killed was also a gangster, and his hands were stained with dirty blood. Getting rid of such a person did not cause much fluctuation in Gen Chinuo's heart.

Besides, he was never a good guy.

He turned his head and looked out the window. Rain was falling like a curtain of water. It was pouring outside the window. It rarely rained during the cherry blossom season in Tokyo. Today's heavy rain was really unusual. He couldn't help but think of a Chinese proverb he had learned:
"The rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building."

They were now sitting in an inconspicuous black Toyota sedan, driving on a street in Shinjuku. A full hour had passed since the explosion at the Genji Heavy Industries headquarters building, and NHK, Fuji TV and Asahi Shimbun took turns rolling out news about the suspected explosion at the Genji Heavy Industries building.

As for Lu Mingfei, he hasn't received any message since that "OK" text message. Yuan Zhinv doesn't even know whether Lu Mingfei and his team have successfully evacuated from the Genji Heavy Industries Building.

However, whether they evacuated or not had little to do with Genji Chitose. After all, he had never promised Lu Mingfei that he would let them leave safely. He only told Lu Mingfei that he had a way to help them sneak into the Genji Heavy Industries headquarters building.

After all, the word "cooperation" (written as "cooperation") actually means mutual benefit when read as "cooperation".

He still didn't know what Lu Mingfei's purpose was in seeking cooperation with him, but since someone claiming to be from Kassel Academy came to him, he naturally accepted the cooperation.

If Lu Mingfei wants to enter the Genji Building, then he will help him and ask Lu Mingfei to help him attract the attention of the Eight Snake Clans.

That's right, the one who attracted the attention of the Snake Eight Families was never the group of high school bikers who were causing trouble, but Lu Mingfei who invaded the Genji Building. How many people could that group of high school bikers attract from the Snake Eight Families?

Only if the Genji Heavy Industries headquarters building is invaded will the attention of Minamoto no Chisei, Tachibana Masamune, and all the family heads be drawn there.

Only in this way can the Source Girl really sneak into that place——

That place gathered together those people of the eight Sheqi families who were nominally of unstable bloodlines, but was actually used to conduct human alchemy experiments on them.

Holy Palace International Hospital.

The origin of this hospital can be traced back to 1900. It was funded and founded by a missionary from the United States. It stopped operating for a period of time due to war and financial reasons. Later, it resumed operation with the support of the Tachibana family of the Snake Eight Nakachu. Now it is a not-so-conspicuous private hospital in Shinjuku District.

The hospital was seven stories high, but actually there were three basements underneath. Every once in a while, a group of descendants of the eight Sheqi families with unstable bloodlines would be transported to the hospital, nominally to receive treatment, but in fact they were treated as living guinea pigs for human alchemy experiments.

Sakurai Kogure was once a member of this group of people, and later by chance, she successfully escaped from that hell. And now Sakurai Kogure's brother Sakurai Akira is still imprisoned there.

The security force that Tachibana Masamune arranged in that hospital was no weaker than that of Genji Heavy Industries. Although Genji Chitose had always guessed that there must be some secret of Tachibana Masamune hidden in the hospital.

As long as he can find the secret, Genjiro will definitely believe him and recognize the true face of Tachibana Masamune.

However, with the small force of ghosts under his control, there was no way for him to enter the basement of Saint Paul International Hospital.

It was not until a few days ago when Lu Mingfei came to him on his own initiative that the idea of ​​entering the hospital and investigating Tachibana Masamune's secret was rekindled in his heart.
