Dragon Clan: Star Core Hunter Lu Mingfei

Chapter 21 Kafka: Listen to me, call me mom

"The time is June 6."

"Interstellar Peace Corporation, today's news."

"Yesterday, a sign of a rift suddenly broke out in the suburbs of Kyoto in the neon district of New Babylon. The imaginary energy level reaction returned to normal two hours later. Satellite reconnaissance showed that the traces of erosion in the rift had disappeared, leaving only erosion tunnels in the original place."

"The experts of the Doctoral Society have determined that this is a chain reaction after the star core was sealed. It is a normal manifestation of the stabilization of the Tianyi Five-Star Star and the Rift Plane. Therefore, it will not expand on a large scale like the previous Rift Plane. The Neon District Anti-Demon Section 4 has dispatched public security hunters to handle it professionally. Please do not worry..."

Ding——The woman sitting in the passenger seat turned off the radio in the car and asked softly:

"How long will it take to reach the destination?"

"We're almost there." The public security hunter sitting in the back seat reported, "The Rift's outbreak has not affected the road conditions along the way. We just need to follow the navigation. The arrival time will be ten minutes faster than expected."

"Well, don't worry, we have enough time."

She nodded slightly, turned her head and looked out the window.

The sky was slightly gloomy and it was drizzling. There were almost no intact buildings around the desolate roads in the suburbs. Only at the end of the road, a large abandoned warehouse was barely standing there.

More than a decade ago, the place belonged to the Miyamoto family, one of the eight families of Sheqi, who were engaged in scientific research, and was used to store some flammable and explosive items used in technology.

But with the demise of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, the Doctoral Society that came with it, with its technological level that surpassed theirs by centuries, directly abolished the Miyamoto family's scientific research institutions and research institutes.

At that time, everyone thought that the Miyamoto family would go bankrupt.

Unexpectedly, they actually survived the chaotic adjustment period by swallowing up the industries of several other companies and have tenaciously survived into the new era.

The Miyamoto family's current status is that they have become the boss of all underground gangs in Neon District and the largest civilian demon hunter group.

The development prospects are booming!
However, just yesterday, the Miyamoto family, which had been maintaining a rapid growth momentum, suddenly disappeared on the spot!
All hunters of cadre rank and above, along with their patriarch, Miyamoto Ichizane, disappeared into the abandoned warehouse.

That was the sign of the world rift reported in the news.

...I don't know whether it was simply bad luck for them, or they did some evil deeds in secret that angered God and man, which led to the catastrophic disaster of the explosion of the world rift.

Buzz—the vehicle stops and the engine shuts down.

The right door of the car opened, and a long leg wrapped in over-the-knee leather boots and black stockings stretched out, and the high heels lightly tapped on the rain water accumulated on the concrete floor.

The beautiful lady in exquisite professional attire was about to get off the car.

Upon seeing this, two of their subordinate public security hunters immediately opened two huge black umbrellas and rushed over before she got wet in the rain, shielding the swaying filaments in the sky.

Kafka was not surprised by her subordinates' hospitality.

She got out of the car, put on her black coat, and ran straight to the warehouse door.

It's sealed there.

The gaps in the original electric gate seemed to be sealed with black filling foam, and the place where the door lock should have been turned into a dark diamond-shaped window the size of a human head.

That is the "erosion tunnel".

The scars left after the rift invaded the real space represent that a horrific rift explosion once occurred here, but it was closed for unknown reasons.

"It seems that there is no need to check again."

One of the accompanying public security hunters said: "Just like the Interstellar Peace Company's satellite survey results, this warehouse has been integrated with the Rift. There is no danger of any possible expansion."

Therefore, we only need to wait until the erosion tunnel disappears completely, and then we can drag this warehouse in reality directly into the plane where the rift is located.

In that case, not only will they not have any burden, but they can also save the cost of demolishing the warehouse.

"That's true, but aren't you curious? What's hidden in the first new rift created after the star core was sealed?"

Kafka crossed her arms across her chest, her delicate lips curled up in a charming arc, "Perhaps, there is a lost child from another world in there."

As she spoke, she tapped the diamond-shaped window of the erosion tunnel.

The mechanism is exactly the opposite of that of the mimosa. After being touched, it not only does not shrink, but instead becomes larger, spiraling out to form a dark portal that is large enough for one person to pass through.

The two hunters behind him looked at each other and wanted to stop him, but they didn't dare to speak loudly.

Kafka did not turn around, but said calmly: "Listen to me: wait here for a moment, I will be back soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped into the rift space behind the erosion tunnel without any hesitation.

This scene made the expressions of the two hunters become serious. They each held a black umbrella and stood on both sides of the erosion tunnel that had shrunk to the size of a window, ready for battle.

Like two guarding door gods.

……

After passing through that portal, the light in the field of vision became dimmer.

The space behind this erosion tunnel has not yet merged with the special plane where the real rift is located, but is just an independent subspace.

It encompasses the entire area where the warehouse is located in reality.

Therefore, even the violent erosion of the signs of the rift did not erase everything that had happened here.

It was a scene like hell!

Countless human body parts were everywhere, as if they had been trampled by a thousand prehistoric Tyrannosaurus Rex, with blood plasma and sauce all over the ground.

Not to mention the untrained ordinary people, even the two experienced veteran public security hunters outside the door ran out with their mouths covered and vomited violently after they came in.

However, Kafka remained calm and showed no fear at all.

She walked through it calmly, even humming a little tune comfortably, and her slender fingers tapped in the air, gracefully as if she was pressing the keys of a piano.

Concerto of the Four Seasons, the first movement of winter.

Silent classical music seemed to be playing around, coupled with exciting electronic music, and purple silk threads intertwined, paving a way forward for the woman.

All the way to the only living creature in this space.

It was a white tumor that occupied almost half of the warehouse!

A large hole appeared in the damaged ceiling, casting floating white light, illuminating its terrifying outline.

It seemed to have been constantly proliferating and then being constantly wiped out.

After growing twistedly, its original shape could no longer be seen. Only the dozen or so broken and deformed "tentacles" with overlapping purple-black flames burning on them told of how fierce the previous battle was.

Above the mountain of flames and flesh was a hideous humanoid monster.

The armor made of antimatter has been completely erupted, revealing his true face.

A young man covered in scales and blood!
The golden blades on his arms turned into fluorescent light and disappeared. On his rugged face, his once clear and handsome features could still be vaguely seen.

He's a very handsome boy... Kafka nodded with satisfaction and snapped her fingers as an opening remark. "Hi, are you okay?"

As expected, the sound alarmed the monster.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his red-gold pupils were cold, bloodthirsty and violent!
It was as if the moment he opened his eyes he was no longer a human being, but a weapon of war of destruction, with the star core engine roaring as if to chop everything in front of him into pieces!
However, after looking into the lifeless pink pupils, his crazy aura suddenly plummeted and his eyes became clear.

He returned to his original state.

——A young boy with a pitiful temperament, his eyes are weak, depressed and timid.

"Um, can you give me a hand..."

His knees gave way and he fell forward.

Kafka stepped forward and gave him a big hug, ignoring the blood on his body.

Now the extremely tired boy had someone to rely on. With his chin resting on the woman's shoulder, he felt completely relaxed.

The smell lingering in my nose was finally no longer the pungent smell of blood and burnt protein in the fire.

The scent of perfume on the mature older sister always soothes people's hearts in time and brings infinite sense of security, just like a mother...even though Lu Mingfei has almost no impression of his own mother.

It’s great that my life was saved... The boy’s eyelids were fighting each other and he was about to fall asleep.

At this moment, a woman's voice sounded in his ears:

"Did you kill all these people? You are really capable. What's your name?"

"My name is Xing... Mingfei? Lu Mingfei?" The confused boy shuddered and leaned back instinctively, then fell down and sat on the ground.

He tilted his head back and stared at the woman's face with wide eyes, his expression as dull as a child who had just woken up.

That face is so delicate and charming, sparkling with breathtaking beauty.

But the moment his eyes met those pink and purple eyes, he subconsciously looked away.

It's like a young gigolo meeting a seasoned client. He knows he's no match for the client, but he's still intoxicated by the client's dangerous and alluring charm and can't help wanting to get close to her.

Xing... Lu Mingfei stared at her blankly, not knowing what to say.

But the woman was quite curious about everything about him.

"Lu Mingfei... a Kyushu-style name, but you don't seem to be human. What a pity. I meet you here. I can only kill you."

The purple silk thread bound the boy's body tightly like a spider web. Kafka stepped on the pale flesh beside his face and put the tip of the purple-red sword that she pulled out from somewhere against the boy's chin, forcing him to look up.

"Of course, you can also choose to become my subordinate and serve me."

"However, due to your non-human status, you probably won't have the same legal rights as humans. Your status is similar to that of pets like cats and dogs..."

Kafka smiled and said, "So if you are willing to give up your dignity, remember to call me Master from now on."

"Gulp——No, don't do that!"

Lu Mingfei's eyes were empty, and he swallowed his saliva in fear. His brain was in a mess like a ball of paste, but his subconscious instinct made him shout loudly:

"Lady, spare my life! Don't kill me, I still want to go home, I want to find my mother!"

"Looking for mom? He's actually a mama's boy?" Kafka looked very surprised.

The long knife in her hand disappeared. She squatted down and reached out to touch the boy's head. There was messy gray hair under his dark forehead, and her hand felt as soft as a cat's.

Thinking back to the boy's fierce eyes at the beginning, she couldn't help but laugh at Lu Mingfei's contrast.

"Since you want to go home so much, I won't be the bad guy." Kafka stared into Lu Mingfei's golden eyes and said softly, "Listen to me: go home and find your mother."

She let go very decisively and did not play by the rules at all.

But noticing the confusion in the boy's eyes, she blinked and added, "If you don't find your mother, you can come back to find me."

"oh oh!"

Lu Mingfei murmured in agreement and stood up sleepily. A little light appeared in the dark world, guiding him home.

He walked further and further away until his figure disappeared.

...If the two public security hunters outside the door were here at this moment, they would definitely exclaim that it was a ghost!
Because two Lu Mingfei appeared in this space!
The young man in front of Kafka didn't move at all. Instead, an almost transparent shadow stood up on his "body"!
The phantom paced in the air, heading towards the depths of the darkness. With every step forward, a scale on its body fell off, and its body became more solid.

The boy in front of Kafka became more and more transparent, and even his body began to shrink.

In the end, when Lu Mingfei completely disappeared in the darkness, the him who was originally bound by the silk thread seemed to have returned to the factory settings and turned into a white and clean "she"!
Xingbao is in cub form, with two furry animal ears on its gray head, and a large tail of the same color connected to its caudal vertebrae. It is held tightly in the arms with its legs crossed, and an ignorant light is flashing in its large golden eyes.

"Oh~ What a cute baby!"

Kafka was surprised and said, "The child left, but left his shadow here."

One world apart, the fusion state is forced to zero.

Xingbao’s cute and well-behaved eyes don’t look like he just woke up, but more like he was just born!
The more Kafka looked at it, the more she liked it. Her eyes, which had never had highlights, now sparkled.

She touched the girl's head and asked softly, "Little cutie, will you come with me?"

Xingbao squinted his eyes comfortably and made a humming sound like a little animal in his throat.

It's just like a puppy, it will like humans as long as it is touched on the head... Xingbao held Kafka's hand, tilted his head and blinked, his clear eyes seemed to want to imprint Kafka's face firmly in his heart!

"Mommy mommy!"

Just like a hatching bird will regard the first person it sees as its mother, Xingbao naturally had an imprinting effect on Kafka.

She called out "Mom" in a tender voice and grabbed for a hug with her hands.

"Yeah~ dear child, I am your mother~"

Kafka was stunned for just a moment, then she automatically immersed herself in the role, full of maternal love.

She took off her black coat, wrapped the little cutie up and held her tightly in her arms.

Then, ignoring everything around him, he got up and left with Xingbao, passed through the automatically opened tunnel crack, and returned to reality.

Outside the door, two hunters who had been prepared for a long time immediately came up to her and shielded her from the wind and rain with huge black umbrellas.

"Lady Kafka, did you find anything...?"

One of the public security hunters asked, but he got stuck before he could finish his words.

Because Kafka's discovery couldn't be more obvious!
The human cub with animal ears in her arms said it all.
