Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 579: How many more do you want, Brother?
Yuan Zhisheng sat in the passenger seat and nodded slightly. The license plate number of the Accord was Shinagawa 335, which meant that the other party was from Tokyo like him.

Although he was surprised that someone like him would come to this town that had been in ruins for several years, the situation described by Yabuki Sakura was not impossible.

In a while, it will be the traditional "Miko Festival" of Kadori Shrine, which is also the busiest time of the year in Kadori Town. Perhaps the residents who used to live in this town remembered the lively festivals of Kadori Shrine in the past and wanted to come back to see it.

The town was getting closer and closer. Yuan Zhisheng said calmly without even turning his head: "Crow, Yasha, don't sleep, we are getting ready to get off the bus."

The Yaksha who was named suddenly woke up from his sleep, rubbing his eyes and looking around through the car window: "Is this the young master's hometown?"

The crow also woke up drowsily, yawned and said, "Aren't we still in town?"

Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand... Sometimes he really didn't know whether he was Yasha Crow's boss, or these two funny guys were his bosses.

However, after spending so much time together, he had already gotten used to the carefree attitude of Yasha and Crow. Although they looked a bit lazy at ordinary times, once they really had a task, their work attitude was more serious than anyone else.

"During the earthquake a few years ago, all the buildings in the town collapsed, and cars could not drive into the town." Yuan Zhisheng said, "We have to walk the rest of the way."

Sure enough, as the car continued to move forward, Sakura Yabuki and the others saw a pile of broken walls and ruins, with only the weathered and faded "Kanatori Town" sign standing alone beside the road.

A scene suddenly emerged in Genji's mind of groups of girls holding white lanterns and paper umbrellas, walking through the torii gate towards the Kadori Shrine. They wore white clothes and red hakama, the unique style of Kadori shrine maidens, and high-heeled wooden clogs, swaying their waists as they walked.

He thought of Eri, who was always very suitable for wearing this kind of traditional Japanese clothing. If Eri participated in the "Miko Festival" of Kadori Shrine, she would definitely be the most dazzling shrine maiden.

Yuan Zhisheng shook his head to dispel the random images in his mind. At this time, the white Accord in front suddenly flashed its taillights, and then the roar of the engine sounded, as if it was ready to leave.

Gen Chisei didn't think much about it. After Yabuki Sakura stopped the car at the intersection, he reached out to unbuckle his seat belt. He looked up and saw the white Accord driving backwards. The image of Eri waving goodbye to him flashed by the window.

"?"

Gen Chisei was suddenly stunned. He was really stunned. He subconsciously wondered if he was hallucinating. He had been thinking about Eri these days. Even when he thought of the "Miko Festival" at Kadori Shrine, he couldn't help but think of Eri wearing Kadori Miko's clothes. That's why he had the hallucination of seeing Eri waving and greeting him.

But then Yasha in the back seat also muttered: "Master, there is a girl in the opposite car, she looks like Miss Eri."

This sentence woke Yuan Zhisheng up from his dream, and he quickly stuck his head out of the window to look back at the Accord sedan that turned around and left. Yes, although she was not wearing the shrine maiden costume she wore when she left home, and she had a hat on her head to cover her hair, it was clearly Eri's face. He couldn't have mistaken her.

"That's Eri!"

Although he couldn't figure out why Eri was sitting in that car, Gen Chisei reacted very quickly and immediately gave an order: "Ying, turn the car around and catch up with the car in front!"

Before Minamoto Chisei gave the order, Sakura Yabuki had already released the handbrake and turned the steering wheel. The Hummer almost turned in a circle on the spot, and the tires made a sharp rubbing sound on the road.

……

Time went back to more than ten minutes ago. Lu Mingfei and Aki said goodbye to Minamoto no Chijo in front of the main hall of Kadori Shrine, and walked down the mountain through the torii gate. The statues of Ishijizo were lying on both sides of the stairs as if seeing them off. The air was fresh, and the sound of birds singing echoed in the mountains.

Aki walked lightly on the steps with her hands behind her back, her knitted hem swaying. She looked less respectable than her senior sister, and more innocent and cute like a little girl.

Looking at Aki beside him, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but compare her with Mai in his mind. Although they were twins, it had to be said that the difference in personality was indeed quite large. He couldn't imagine Mai doing such little girl-like actions.

Well, it would probably be quite cute if I really did it... No, it's none of my business whether it's cute or not!
Lu Mingfei shook his head violently, putting away his wandering thoughts.

Behind him, the buildings of the Kadori Shrine gradually receded, slowly hidden by the dense spring grass and trees. Until they were finally out of sight, Aki beside Lu Mingfei suddenly said, "Junior Brother Lu...did you deliberately change the subject just now?"

Lu Mingfei paused.

"Why do you say that, Senior Sister?" He turned his head to look at Aki and asked with a blink.

Aki tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Maybe it's intuition?"

Lu Mingfei said: "What Senior Sister said is a bit metaphysical."

"Junior brother, you should know that girls' intuition is very accurate, right?"

Aki snorted softly, then said seriously, "You know much more about the snake-wrapped cross symbol than what you have. But you suddenly changed the subject and asked about the underground hospital of the Origin Girl. It's obvious that you didn't want the Origin Girl to know something."

After Yaji finished speaking, she paused, staring at Lu Mingfei's face with her bright eyes, and asked, "Is that right?"

Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment, then he sighed deeply: "It looks like your future boyfriend is going to suffer, Senior Sister."

"Why do you say that?"

Yaji was startled, not knowing why Lu Mingfei suddenly mentioned her boyfriend again... These were things that hadn't even started yet, she hadn't even thought about having a boyfriend yet. Even her first kiss was still...

No, the first kiss seems to be gone.

Aki was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that she seemed to have given her first kiss without realizing it...

The scene of giving artificial respiration to Lu Mingfei suddenly played in Aki's mind frame by frame like a movie, and her heartbeat suddenly started pounding again.

Lu Mingfei was still joking around: "Look, Senior Sister, your reasoning ability is so strong. If your boyfriend does something bad in the future, won't you notice it immediately?"

Yaji bit her lip and spat softly: "Do you think everyone is like you, Junior Brother, flirting with women everywhere and attracting bees and butterflies?"

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, Senior Sister, you are wrongly accusing me... I, your junior brother, never flirt with other women. It was the women who brought me here on their own accord.

But of course Lu Mingfei couldn't tell Yaji about this. After joking, Lu Mingfei was about to get back to the point and answer Yaji about why he had just avoided the topic, but he turned his head...

Then I saw Aki's beautiful face, and I didn't know when a pink peach mist quietly appeared on it.

"Sister, why is your face red...?"

"Ah, am I blushing?" Upon hearing this, Aki subconsciously touched her cheek with the back of her hand, which felt hot.

Seeing the culprit in front of her with no idea of ​​what was happening, Yaji was ashamed and angry. She gritted her teeth and whispered in her heart, "It's all your fault, Junior Brother...!" But she couldn't tell Lu Mingfei that she blushed because she remembered the scene of giving him artificial respiration.

And it was just artificial respiration... Can artificial respiration be considered a first kiss? So her first kiss was still there, not given to Lu Mingfei... That's not right, anyway, this topic can't be discussed any further!
"Cough cough."

Aki, whose face was already red, cleared her throat, forced herself to suppress her pounding heart, and put on a calm expression as she asked, "Let's stop joking. Let's get back to the point. So, Junior Brother Lu, what is it that you don't want Genji to know?"

"Holy Palace Medical Association."

Lu Mingfei said.

"Saint Palace Medical Association?"

This unfamiliar word made Yaji pause for a moment. Shenggong Medical Association? It sounded a bit like a rescue organization like the International Red Cross or the XX Charity Federation. Yaji asked Lu Mingfei: "What kind of organization is this?"

"probably."

Lu Mingfei scratched his head and said, "I don't know what the Holy Palace Medical Association is. But before he died, Father Bernardo not only left me the death message of a cross wrapped around a snake, but he also mentioned the term 'Holy Palace Medical Association'."

Not only that, Bernardo also said that the Holy Palace Medical Association has the technology of "bloodline recasting". But Lu Mingfei did not tell Aji about this. It was not because he did not trust Aji enough, but out of a sense of protection.

Just like what Genji said, the involvement behind this matter might be far greater than they thought. In this case, the less you know, the safer you will be. Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with Aki. If Aki gets hurt because of him getting involved... then he will probably blame himself for the rest of his life.

At this point, the chain of clues has actually been connected one by one.

Bernardo had performed a blood exchange operation with a dragon, and Herzog had also performed a similar blood exchange operation; Bernardo left him a mysterious symbol before he died, and this symbol coincided with the pattern that Gen Chikyou saw in the underground hospital. Gen Chikyou said that the underground hospital was built by the Tachibana family; Bernardo also mentioned that the Holy Palace Medical Association has mastered the technology of "bloodline recasting"...

The conclusion is clear. The organization behind Bernardo and Herzog is most likely the Holy Palace Medical Society. Whether it is Bernardo or Herzog, it is the Holy Palace Medical Society that provides them with blood transfusion technology.

But what surprised Lu Mingfei was that even after his rebirth, he had never heard of the name of this organization. And judging from Aki's reaction, she probably hadn't heard of it either.

The world of the hybrids seemed quite large, while the world of Kassel Academy was actually very small. They had always been a fledgling eagle that had not grown up, and had always been under the protection of the academy, never really flying out of the nest.

Once you really start trying to explore the world on your own, you will find that this world is not all youth and beauty, but is also full of crises.

Lu Mingfei felt a very strange feeling in his heart, just like when you are playing an RPG game and are about to complete the main quest, a hidden plot is triggered and the main quest changes... from saving the princess to investigating a mysterious dark organization.

Aki tilted her head, searched her mind, and shook her head after confirming that she had no impression of the five words "Saint Palace Medical Association".

"I don't think I've heard of this organization. It doesn't matter, I'll ask Professor Mans later, maybe he has heard of it." Aki said.

“No, I think it’s better to keep this matter secret for the time being. Senior sister, don’t tell anyone and don’t write it in the mission report.” Lu Mingfei shook his head and said softly.

"Are you afraid that this matter might be dangerous?"

"Yes."

"But it shouldn't matter, Professor..."

“If I must say it.” Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and said calmly, “Among the people in the academy now, I only trust the principal, the night watchman, and you, senior sister.”

Maybe we can also add a good-for-nothing senior brother? Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

Senior sister (Nono), paralyzed senior brother and the eldest brother have not yet enrolled. Among the people in Kassel Academy, apart from the professors and Finkel, Lu Mingfei probably only knows Aji and Ye Shengselma. Among them, Lu Mingfei has the deepest relationship with Aji, plus there is the relationship with Mai, so Aji is also one of the few people Lu Mingfei trusts.

Professor Manns might be trustworthy, but his social circle might not be.

The Holy Palace Medical Association is an organization hiding in the dark. Lu Mingfei knows nothing about them, and they may have paid attention to him in advance because of Father Bernardo's incident. For Lu Mingfei, he is at a disadvantage due to information asymmetry.

Now Lu Mingfei not only knows the other party's name, but also the logo of the other party's organization. The Holy Palace Medical Society may not know about this. Lu Mingfei wants to firmly grasp this advantage, so the investigation of the Holy Palace Medical Society can only be done in secret and quietly.

Lu Mingfei was not worried about not being able to get to the bottom of the matter… Even if he asked Mai, Su Enxi or Ling, he wouldn’t be able to get to the bottom of the matter. After all, there was still the little devil behind him.

If life is a game, then Lu Mingze is his guiding elf, the full-map plug-in Fengling Yueying, who can solve the problem in front of him with just a "ding".

As they chatted, they had already reached the foot of the mountain and arrived at the entrance of the town.

Xia Mi jumped out from the back seat to make room for Lu Mingfei in the middle seat. Yaji opened the passenger door and got in, his eyes unconsciously glancing at the back seat.

"A playboy..." Aki pursed her lips and muttered quietly in her heart.

"What did you talk about?" Jude Mai asked Aki.

"We talked about a lot of things."

Yaji curled her lips and glanced at Lu Mingfei. She suddenly wanted to play a prank: "But my junior brother wouldn't let me tell you. He said it was a secret between him and me and he wouldn't let me tell anyone else."

Lu Mingfei: "???"

Although what Aji said seemed to be correct, Lu Mingfei did not let Aji tell others about the Shenggong Medical Association... But Senior Sister, can't you say it differently! If you say that, there will be a family tragedy! Junior Sister, the way she looks at me is not right!
Xia Mi, who was standing next to him, took Lu Mingfei's arm and said with a smile, "Brother, what little secrets do you have with Sister Yaji that you cannot tell us?"

"It's nothing, actually. It's just..."

Yaji suddenly coughed: "Junior brother just told me not to tell anyone else, you didn't turn around and tell others yourself, right?"

Lu Mingfei: "..."

Xia Mi blinked her eyes: "Hey, between my brother and I, you are the one who matters, right?" As she spoke, she pulled Lu Mingfei's arm hard, trying to squeeze him with her non-existent breasts.

Lu Mingfei could hear the tension in Xia Mi's words and quickly said, "We are all family..."

"Our own people? Aren't one, two, three, or four at home enough? Do you want five, six, or seven more?"

Lu Mingfei was sweating behind his back. What was going on? But he couldn’t really deny it, because the relationship between him, Eri and Mai seemed a little unclear.

At this moment, Eri raised the notebook. Lu Mingfei almost thought that Eri was going to join the battle... But the next moment he saw clearly the words written on the notebook: "I heard my brother's voice."

elder brother?

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. Eri was the head of the Uesugi family. She would call him brother...

Lu Mingfei quickly asked: "Brother is Yuan Zhisheng?"

Eriyi nodded.

"Where is he?"

"They're on the road behind us. They came in a car. Crow, Yasha, and Miss Sakura are here too."

Lu Mingfei immediately turned his head and saw the familiar Hummer appearing at the end of the road behind him.
