Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 560: Holy Palace Medical Society

Life is power, and destiny is strength. Eternal life is the power and right that everyone dreams of, but so far, only the Dragon King, who stands at the top of the food chain on Earth, has mastered the secret of eternal life.

No matter how high the bloodline of a hybrid is, the dragon bloodline can only delay their aging. If the life span of a person is compared to a road, the road of the hybrids is at best a little longer than that of ordinary people, allowing them to walk on this road longer, but as long as it is a road, it will eventually come to an end.

Even Ange, the legendary dragon slayer and member of the first Lionheart Society, cannot escape the curse of fate now that he is old.

However, Tachibana Masamune has always believed that the code of immortality can be cracked. Since humans can merge with dragon genes and master the ability of second and third degree blood bursts to surpass the upper limit of bloodline, theoretically, the immortality that dragons can achieve, humans can also cross that threshold.

And Tachibana Masamune...or Herzog, has been doing this all the time.

Over the past few decades, he has been trying to uncover the genetic secrets of the dragon race. Since he began serving the Third Reich under the Führer, he has used the resources of the empire to collect ancient alchemical documents from all over the world and conducted human alchemical experiments on prisoners of war in concentration camps at the Imperial Biological Research Institute.

He had spent the first half of his life struggling to find the path to immortality. However, just when he had made a breakthrough in his experiment, he received the tragic news that the Imperial Army had suffered a disastrous defeat on the battlefield in the former Soviet Union.

It was not until after Germany's defeat in World War II that he was captured by the former Soviet Union and thought he would be brought to a military court and sentenced to execution for his crimes of human experimentation.

Until the day before the military court, a man found him in prison. The other party claimed that he belonged to a new organization called the Holy Palace Medical Society. They had read his experimental notes at the Imperial Biological Research Institute and were very interested in his experiments. They could help him avoid being tried by the military court, but the premise was that he cooperated with them and continued his experiments.

The one who found Tachibana Masamune at that time was Doctor Chen in front of him.

Dr. Chen raised his hand and motioned for Tachibana Masamune to take a seat, which briefly brought him back from his memories.

"Gyokuro or Uji tea?" asked Dr. Chen.

"Forget the tea. I didn't come here to drink tea today."

Tachibana Masamune said expressionlessly, "At the same time as the headquarters building of the main family was invaded today, Eri was also taken away from her room. Did you know about this?"

"Does the head of the family suspect that we did this?"

Doctor Chen shook his head and said coldly, "Unfortunately, we had some trouble here today. Your good son sneaked into the Shenggong Hospital during the chaos and released all the mice from the cages, making a mess here. Several mice ran away, and we had to work hard to catch them all."

Tachibana Masamune looked at Dr. Chen in front of him indifferently, but a sneer appeared in his heart.

He didn't know the man's abilities, but he knew very well the abilities of Yuan Zhinv.

After escaping from the Soviet prison, he had been using his past connections to investigate the background of the Holy Palace Medical Society. However, the results of the investigation did not shock him.

Although they possess the ancient and mysterious bio-alchemy technology, the Holy Palace Medical Academy has left almost no trace of its activities in the hybrid world.

They are not like the Secret Party. All the half-bloods know the existence of this huge organization, and all the half-bloods admire and fear the Secret Party. The Holy Palace Medical Association is like a shadow hiding in the shadows. Even Tachibana Masamune has doubts about whether this organization really exists.

Even though he spent a lot of time and connections to find no trace of the organization's activities, Yuan Zhinv was able to find out that in the basement of the Saint Paul International Hospital there was a place where the Holy Palace Medical Society was conducting human alchemy experiments.

Not only did their people fail to discover that Gen Chikōnō had sneaked into the underground hospital at the first time, but after Gen Chikōnō's identity was exposed, he was able to escape unscathed.

This only shows that the other party had no intention of catching Yuan Zhinv at all.

Tachibana Masamune also knew that cooperating with the other party would only be a tiger's skin, but fortunately he was not a good person. Both parties were just taking what they needed.

He needed the ancient biological alchemy technology in the hands of the Holy Palace Medical Society to help him complete his "road to godhood"; the Holy Palace Medical Society was probably just using him to conduct a special human alchemy experiment.

The other party's partners are far more than just me. For the Holy Palace Medical Association, I am just a pawn. Just like Father Bernardo of the Solomon Temple, the Holy Palace Medical Association gave the latest "blood transfusion technology" to Bernardo just to use him as an experimental subject to practice the maturity of the technology.

Fortunately, he will soon be able to end this boring cooperation. Judging from the results of Bernardo's blood transfusion, the new blood transfusion technology can be said to be very successful. Not only does it completely eliminate the rejection reaction after the dragon blood is injected into the human body, but the main body will not lose control due to the high concentration of dragon blood, and the main body will still retain its consciousness.

This is also the reason why Tachibana Masamune suddenly started digging the Red Well in the past six months.

All the technical and experimental conditions are mature and ready, and he is ready to start his own "road to godhood".

The Holy Palace Medical Society regards him as a chess piece, and isn't he also using the Holy Palace Medical Society as one of his own chess pieces?
However, at this critical moment, Kassel College suddenly sent a professor to Japan uninvited. Then the headquarters of Genji Heavy Industries was attacked, and Eri, the most important part of the "Road to Godhood", was taken away and disappeared.

This made it difficult for Tachibana Masamune not to suspect that this was done by Dr. Chen in front of him and the Holy Palace Medical Association behind him. The child of Genji was only able to play simple house games... She couldn't do and had no ability to do such a beautiful thing.

As for the underground hospital being messed up by the little girl? Tachibana Masamune felt that was just an excuse for them to prove that today's incident had nothing to do with them.

But now is not the time to tear each other apart. Tachibana Masamune nodded: "I don't doubt you. I just want to ask, could Eri's abduction be related to Kassel Academy? When Gen Chisei went to the airport to pick up the people from Kassel Academy, a few small fish were missed."

Tachibana Masamune didn't think it was done by the people from Kassel Academy. The Snake Eight Clan had always kept Eri well hidden, and Kassel Academy couldn't possibly know of Eri's existence. The reason he said this was just to change the subject.

"Who knows."

Doctor Chen shrugged. "Perhaps Angers has discovered what we did, so he sent people to Japan by air."

"Is there such a possibility?"

"Of course." Dr. Chen said, "You can underestimate anyone in this world, but never underestimate Angers."

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Masamune couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He was German, and the Kassel family was a well-known mixed-race family in Germany at that time.

As early as when he was young, he had heard of the reputation of the first generation of Lionheart Society. But at that time, the famous people in the Lionheart Society were other people, "Chief" Brendan, "Tiger" Jamal, "Gravedigger" Gambet, "Silver Wing" Charlotte, "Iron Cross" Mayek... Of course, we can't forget the most important name, Menek Cassel.

These names all shine in the history of dragon slaying. At that time, Ange was just an unknown figure in the Lionheart Society, not even as famous as the "Wind Listener" Lu Shanyan. It was not until after the "Summer Mourning Incident" that all the members of the first generation of the Lionheart Society died, and the name Ange became famous in the world of mixed-bloods.

In Tachibana Masamune's heart, half of the reason why Ange was able to obtain his current status was due to his long life. He was the only person who survived in that ancient dragon-slaying history, and his status relied on his comrades who paved the way for him.

Ange may be an opponent worthy of respect, but he will never feel fear when the name Ange is mentioned like the other heads of the Eight Snake Families.

"Ange was just a marginal figure in the first generation of the Lionheart Society, but he was the only survivor of the 'Summer Mourning Incident'. He was not well-received in the Secret Party, but he had a significant influence within the Secret Party. He was not from any of the seven school directors' families, and countless people had wanted to replace him, but Kassel College has only had one principal for decades."

"He once had countless enemies in front of him, but as time passed, those who stood in Ange's way fell one by one, and only he has made it to the present day. It only took him a few decades to transform Kassel College from a small school to a behemoth that can be compared with the secret party today."

"Do you think a man like this would do something meaningless? If I could choose, I would rather face the dragons head-on than choose a man like this as my enemy."

After hearing what Dr. Chen said, Tachibana Masamune couldn't help but feel that he might have underestimated Angers.

Could it be that Eri’s matter really has nothing to do with the Holy Palace Medical Society... and that it was all the work of the people from Kassel Academy?

But no matter what, the fact that Kassel Academy sent people to Japan at this sensitive time seems to indicate that Angers may have noticed something.

"I understand." Tachibana Masamune said, "I will suspend the excavation of the Red Well during this period to prevent Kassel Academy from finding out anything."

"Well, it's always better to be cautious."

Doctor Chen said: "We have already finished the meeting this morning and decided to suspend the experiment for a while. I will also return to China first."

"When will you be back?" asked Masamune Tachibana.

"Let's wait until this period of controversy is over before we talk about it," said Dr. Chen.

"I understand."

Tachibana Masamune nodded: "But no matter what, I still hope to find Eri as soon as possible. You should know how dangerous it would be to leave Eri out there like this? If she is not injected with the serum for more than 7 days, she will degenerate into a deadpool."

"Of course I do."

Doctor Chen sighed and said with a smile: "After all... I am the child's uncle."

……

It's a rare night of such good sleep.

A few days ago, when he slept in the same room with Xiao Tiannv and Xia Mi, Lu Mingfei had to hand over one or two cups of soy milk every night before he could fall asleep. Last night was a rare night when he went to bed early without having to work hard.

Perhaps counting eyelashes and counting sheep have the same effect. Last night, when Lu Mingfei was counting Hui Liyi's eyelashes under the moonlight, he fell asleep while counting.

Thanks to his good sleep quality, Lu Mingfei's dreams last night were more real than usual. He dreamed that Nuonuo was driving a Ferrari and taking him racing on the road. Halfway through the race, the car ran out of gas. The two of them sat in the car and chatted. Nuonuo opened his arms and asked him if he wanted a hug from his senior sister to comfort him.

Lu Mingfei looked at the curve under Nuonuo's collar, which was as soft as a spring ridge... and immediately knew that he was dreaming.

Although he was curious about why he suddenly dreamed of memories from hundreds of years ago, looking at this rather regretful scene, Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment: should he not be timid and go straight ahead to make up for the regrets of the past; or should he respect his senior sister...

But before he could think it through, Nuo Nuo on the opposite side opened his arms impatiently and hugged him.

Then, Lu Mingfei felt a soft touch coming towards him. He didn't expect that the dream was so real that he could even reproduce the touch. He even smelled a sweet milky scent mixed with a faint smell of shower gel.

And then...he woke up because he almost couldn't hold his breath.

The first thing Lu Mingfei saw when he opened his eyes was a sea of ​​white.

It was indeed a white patch, because what Lu Mingfei saw was a piece of white cloth with delicate woven patterns on it.

Having just woken up from a dream, Lu Mingfei was still a little confused and did not react for a while to what was in front of him.

But as soon as he raised his head, he saw Nuo... no, it was Eri's sleeping face. The girl's swan-like neck and clear butterfly bones were revealed under her collar.

"...?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. He fell asleep yesterday while counting Eri's eyelashes, so it seemed normal for him to see Eri's face. But what made him a little strange was that Eri's face was a little too close to him.
Logically speaking, Eri slept on the bed and he slept on the floor, so there should be some distance between them. But at this moment, Eri's face was right above him, only a few inches away from him.

Wait! That's not right!
If I look up, I can just see Eri's face.

In this position, if you don’t raise your head…

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei subconsciously moved his head behind him.

Then the white patch in the field of vision... turned into a mountain range with beautiful curves. Eri wore the pajamas Liu Miaomiao gave her last night. She slept next to him in a position slightly higher than him.

...It’s not Senior Sister’s facial cleanser, it’s Gangster Princess’ facial cleanser.

Although I don’t know why Eri, who was originally sleeping on the bed, crawled onto the floor and slept with him...but isn’t this lucky pervert incident a little too typical?
It seems that the years he spent in the Japanese light novel world were not in vain, as he inherited the male protagonist's holy body of a pervert!
