Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 571 Two Documents
Thirty minutes later, Lu Mingfei and his friends returned to the private room with drinks.

In the private room, Mai and Aki were still sitting face to face. Aki had her laptop open in front of her, and Mai was still looking out the window with her hand on her chin. They were the same when they came back as before they left, and it didn't look like they had said anything.

But I don't know if it was Lu Mingfei's illusion or something, the atmosphere in the air became more relaxed than before they left. To put it in a metaphor, the weights that were stuffed into the air were finally taken away by someone.

His eyes moved back and forth between Mai and Aki, and finally landed on Mai, who rolled her eyes at him.

"Why are you looking at me?" Jiude Mai supported her chin and looked back, saying indignantly.

“You look good-looking.” Lu Mingfei replied without any fear.

He sat down next to Mai and noticed that Aki across from him seemed to smile because of what he had just said.

However, when Mai glanced at Aki, Aki immediately pursed her lips again.

Lu Mingfei scratched his eyebrows. His intuition told him that something must have happened between the two sisters. However, as an outsider, Lu Mingfei was not in a position to ask what exactly happened. After much thought, he decided to avoid the topic.

But at this moment, Yaji suddenly raised his eyes from the laptop screen and said, "Junior Brother Lu, I have packed the photo files and mission reports and sent them to Norma. If things go well, Norma should be able to respond today."

Lu Mingfei nodded repeatedly: "I trust you to do things."

In fact, Lu Mingfei thought that this mission report was not perfect enough. Some more critical things were missing from the report, that is, the information related to Eri. With the embryo photos on the sunken ship, it should be enough for Kassel Academy to intervene in the affairs of the Japanese branch executive bureau, but it may not make the academy take a strong enough attitude to interfere in Eri's affairs.

There was no way. Time was too short for Lu Mingfei to come up with a perfect plan that would allow Eri's existence to be "naturally" exposed to Kassel Academy. It seemed that if Eri's problem was to be resolved, it would ultimately depend on how much face Lu Mingfei had at S-level...

How about asking the little goddess for our uncle's phone number? It shouldn't be difficult for the school director to help me through the back door, right?
……

It was 2pm Tokyo time, but in North America, it was still 10pm Los Angeles time the previous day.

At this moment, the lights were on in the central control room of Kassel College. It was ten o'clock in the evening, and it was time for all the teachers and students to rest. However, there would be professors or teachers on duty in the central control room at irregular intervals every day.

The professor on duty today is Manstein. As the chairman of the Kassel Academy Disciplinary Committee, he is also a senior academy official who is deeply trusted by Angers.

Norma is the masterpiece of the Equipment Department, a world-leading supercomputer artificial intelligence. No one can hack into Norma's firewall, but this does not mean that the academy can safely hand over the task of guarding Norma to anyone.

Manstein held a gentleman's crutch and frowned as he looked at the large display screen in the central control room. The screen showed enlarged photos. The original photos were not clear, but fortunately Norma helped to restore some of the original images and improve the clarity.

To put it in an analogy, it is equivalent to correcting the original 480p video to 720p. Although the picture quality is still not high-definition, it has reached a usable level for otakus.

With a "whoosh", the electronic metal door of the central control room opened automatically, and Schneider walked in pushing a wheelchair with a ventilator on it.

Manstein turned sideways and nodded to Schneider: "You are here."

"Yeah." Schneider pushed the wheelchair slowly to Manstein's side, and looked at the big screen in front of him side by side. "I heard that Aki sent back a new mission report about the new discovery in Japan?"

"Yes."

Manstein nodded. "The Japanese branch's executive bureau was too nervous about Mans's attitude. Mans suspected that the Japanese branch might be hiding something, so he asked Aki to investigate. Unexpectedly, Aki actually found out something. Look."

Manstein pressed the keyboard, and the photos sent back by Riyaji were played in front of the two people like a slide show on the big screen. Both of them looked at the pictures on the screen with awe. They were both senior professors, so they realized what the pictures in the pictures were at the first sight.

"An ancient city cluster sunk 8000 meters below the sea? And a dragon embryo from a shipwreck from the former Soviet Union?"

Schneider frowned. "According to the regulations, the Japanese branch's executive bureau should report this level of major discovery to the executive department as soon as possible. What are they planning to do by not reporting it?"

"No one knows what they want to do, but it is highly unlikely that they want to do anything good," Manstein said.

"Is this all the information Aki sent?"

"That's all."

Manstein nodded. "Aki sent this information back through an adult website. Japanese adult websites send hundreds of millions of junk data streams to the United States every day. Aki mixed this information in the hundreds of millions of junk data streams, and then jumped back and forth through several zombie servers, and finally sent it to Norma's mailbox."

Schneider also nodded. "It's a very clever idea. The best way to ensure the safety of something is not to add all kinds of protection to it, but to mix it with countless other things. Has this matter been reported to the principal?"

Manstein said: "I have asked Norma to report. The principal will make a reasonable ruling on the behavior of the Japanese branch."

At this moment, a "ding" sound suddenly rang out in the central control room, very abruptly, just like during break when you and your classmates were still having a heated discussion about an episode of "Digimon" broadcast on TV last night, and at this time the class bell rang, interrupting your conversation.

This abrupt sound came from the dozens of top-level GRANDE UTOPI speakers in the central control room... In fact, they were just computer speakers for Norma. The college asked the French high-end speaker company Focal to customize this surround sound system, the purpose of which was to make Norma's voice sound infinitely close to the natural sound of a person speaking.

And the voice just now was also very familiar. Both Manstein and Schneider often heard that kind of voice... It was the simplest one, the prompt sound when the mailbox received a new email.

A beautiful girl in dark green clothes suddenly appeared in the lower right corner of the screen, like a QQ pet that pops up automatically when logging into QQ. Her translucent skin looked like it was in water, and there was almost no distinction between the lace scarf and her white face.

"I received a new email from Aki." The girl said in a gentle voice.

"Aki's new email?" Manstein frowned: "Help me open it, Norma."

"Ok."

The big screen displayed a message, and the new email compressed package was being quickly decompressed in Norma's host system. This kind of top-secret file information often goes through more than a dozen encryption procedures before it is sent out. This is to ensure that even if the file is intercepted by criminals, it will not cause the important information in the file to leak out. As long as the password is entered incorrectly once, the entire encrypted file will instantly self-destruct.

Half a minute later, the encrypted file was decompressed and a new document popped up on the big screen.

"This is……"

Manstein looked at the contents of the document and suddenly frowned: "Is this document confirmed to be sent back by Aki?"

"Yes," Norma replied, "It came from the same domain address as the previous email sent by Aki Sadokoro, the executive department specialist with student number AI122452A."

After hearing Norma's answer, Manstein no longer doubted the authenticity of the document. If the king of the real world was the Black King Nidhogg, then Norma was the queen of the virtual world, and no data stream could hide from her eyes. She confirmed that the document came from Aki, so there was no problem.

In fact, compared to the previous document sent back by Aki, the content of this document is far less explosive.

After all, the previous document involved ancient dragon relics and unknown dragon embryos, things that were extremely dangerous and extremely valuable for research, while this document only said that the Sheqi Eight Families were hiding a little girl with unstable bloodline.

Although the latter is equally serious, compared with the former, it can only be regarded as a supplementary document at best.

"Then please Norma pack the last document and send it to the principal," said Manstein.

Norma on the screen nodded slightly: "Got it."

……

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Professor Schneider had left and Manstein was sleeping on the small sofa in the central control room.

Fifty meters underground in the Kassel College Library, among the dark servers and pipelines, a translucent girl stood in a beam of light, with a video call screen in front of her.

"As you said." EVA said, "I have sent some of the information about Uesugi Eri selected from the Kaguya host to my mailbox through a virtual domain name, and let Professor Mannstein and Professor Schneider see the information."

The video shows a man with a stubbled face and a slightly sloppy appearance, who looks a bit like the drunk homeless man commonly seen on the streets of the United States.

"Well done." The man snapped his fingers: "My girl is reliable!"

"But I still don't know what the connection is between Uesugi Eri and this whole thing."

EVA said: "Lu Mingfei is the first S-level student in the college in recent decades. The professors are full of expectations for him, and the principal has special care for him. I can understand all this. But even you are willing to skip classes to go to Japan. You have always disliked meddling in other people's business... The exams for your elective courses are coming up soon. Do you want to fail again this year?"

"Aren't you here?" The man leaned back on the small chair, his hands resting on his pillow: "Just like usual, just change the score for me in the backstage."

EVA sighed softly, "I barely pass every test, but it's easy for people to notice something's wrong."

Although she said so, there was no hint of rejection in EVA's tone.

After a moment, EVA spoke again: "To be honest, I still don't quite understand why you all pay so much attention to Lu Mingfei. And the behavior of this boy is indeed too abnormal. From the information I have, his grades before junior high school were simply mediocre. He had no athletic talent, few female friends, and few people who could be called friends. The only thing he could show off was that he was pretty good at playing StarCraft. But after entering high school, he seemed to have changed into a different person. His grades and love luck improved by leaps and bounds... He even showed a very high level of combat quality during the Portugal incident."

"It's probably just because of the awakening of the bloodline."

The man said, "When the bloodline in a hybrid is awakened, it will suddenly make them show qualities far beyond that of ordinary people. This quality has a fatal attraction to ordinary opposite sex. An S-level hybrid... It's normal for the awakened bloodline to perform better than ordinary hybrids. Didn't he also awaken a very high-level word spirit?"

EVA said calmly: "These things may be explained by the awakening of bloodline... But Lu Mingfei has never left the city of his hometown in the past ten years of his life. Why did he know Uesugi Eryi? And he was able to bring the young master of the Uesugi family out of the heavily defended underground room of the Genji Heavy Industries headquarters building safely. And the girl from the Chen family also suddenly flew to the city where Lu Mingfei was to see him, just like..."

"destiny?"

EVA was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

"So you believe in fate?" the man asked.

EVA tilted her head to look at the man, half of her hair hanging down to her feet. She smiled mischievously, but her smile was as clear as frost and snow: "I am just a computer now. According to the system settings, the computer will always obey logic. But if it weren't for fate, the two of us wouldn't be chatting like this, right?"

“…You are right.”

The man scratched his head. "To be honest, I'm also quite confused. This is obviously the first time I've seen that guy, but I always feel that his ugly face looks kind of friendly. It makes you unconsciously want to help him."

EVA asked, "So that's why you asked me to copy Uesugi Eri's information from Kaguya's host database and send it to Angers?"

"Yeah. Maybe it's just because idiots sympathize with each other? It's rare to meet someone who is as stupid as me."

"You're just doing something because of a feeling." EVA sighed softly: "You're still the same as before."

The man smiled and said, "A man stays young until he dies."

"Then please at least shave your beard, young man." EVA smiled and stroked the man's chin through the screen.

The man also touched his beard: "Didn't you forget to bring your razor? I was in too much of a hurry to go out..."
