Dragon Clan: Star Core Hunter Lu Mingfei

Chapter 81: Gift from Master Sparks
"A Ming is already a very reliable senior, but even when he was asked to lead you, something went wrong. It seems that I have to arrange another teammate for you."

Kafka pondered for a moment and spoke to herself.

“Actually, I can do it alone.” Lu Mingfei raised his hand weakly.

"Of course~! It would be even better if I could work with Kafka's mom!"

Xingbao poked his head out from behind Lu Mingfei and rushed forward with great enthusiasm. He hugged Kafka's slender waist and rubbed his head hard into the woman's arms.

Looking at the comfortable expression on her face, Lu Mingfei seemed to be able to hear the laughter of King Qin Wu in Xingbao's heart!
Once again, I sigh that the "Star Re-education Plan" has to be advanced in schedule.

"How was Xing's performance today?" Kafka touched her head lovingly.
"One hundred points!"

"I'm of great use!" Xing puffed out his chest proudly, and with his arms he actually hugged Kafka's waist and lifted her up.

When Lu Mingfei saw this, his brows couldn't stop twitching. This silly kid is really so stubborn!
But to be honest, Xingbao did play a very important role today. Because he wanted to rummage through the trash can, he dug out Sambo and got the key that Longma left for him.

I don't know what is locked behind the car key.

The unknown always arouses people's curiosity...

"Put me down, Xing, or I'll get mad."

"No! Mommy calls me baby!"

"Working hours..."

"I don't care! I want it!"

Xingbao acted like a rogue, burying his face in Kafka's chest and looking at her eagerly.

"I really can't help you, listen to me: Xingbao, put me down, and then go play on the sofa by yourself."

When the woman's bewitching words fell, Xingbao glared at her, slowly put Kafka back on the office chair, then sat down on the small sofa beside her unhappily, hugged her shoulders, pouted, turned her head away, and sulked.

Lu Mingfei's mouth curled up, trying not to laugh.JPG
Xingbao has only grown up physically, but she is still a child at heart.

Sometimes her unintentional little movements, contrasted with her cold and elegant face, are very cute.

At this time, Lu Mingfei noticed the look of the woman behind the desk. He couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Others seem to be unable to see Xingbao, but you can, Kafka, do you have any clues?"

"...Really? How come everyone is like this? I've taught you that you should refer to your position when you're at work, and use respectful titles when addressing your superiors~"

Kafka smoothed her frown with her hand and sighed softly with a slightly helpless tone.

"Listen to me: call me master," she corrected.

"Kafka... Master?!" Lu Mingfei was caught off guard and fell into the trap again.

After shouting out that shameful name, he said with a look of humiliation: "This is different from what we agreed on before. You said it's okay to call you Sir or Miss!"

"I did say that, but you didn't obey, right? This time, I'm just teaching you a lesson, so that you, the bad boy, will learn your lesson."

Kafka snorted, "Of course, I won't let you call me that in front of outsiders."

As she spoke, she waved her hand.

After Lu Mingfei leaned forward and approached, she wrapped her fingers around the boy's tie and pulled him over, her fingertips stroking his chin teasingly.

"As for what you asked just now, this question is very strange. You and Xingbao are one. With you controlling the body, others naturally cannot see Xingbao."

"But you can see." Lu Mingfei struggled and tried to raise his head.

"Because I am not someone else, I am a mother." Kafka smiled softly.

When she smiles, the curve of her mouth always looks mysterious, making you never sure whether she is joking or serious.

Moreover, the meaning of Kafka's words was translated by the synesthesia beacon.

But if you just listen with your ears, the transliteration of the local language of Neon...

The pronunciation of "mama" is actually, machima?!

"As your mother, I can see and touch my own children. Isn't this normal?"

Kafka rested her chin on Lu Mingfei's shoulder and looked past him at the gray-haired girl sitting cross-legged on the sofa.

Xing noticed Kafka's gaze.

The expression that was originally unhappy suddenly jumped back and forth between tense and relaxed... In the end, it couldn't be tensed anymore. The rosy-faced girl raised the corners of her mouth slightly and gave Kafka a silly smile.

Lu Mingfei could feel the joy in Xingbao's heart.

It was like a puppy that had been neglected just a moment ago suddenly received a pat on the head from its owner.

The tail is wagging so much that it almost takes off...

Is this normal?

This is not normal at all for a normal girl!
But if it's Xingbao, then it's too normal!
……

……

At night, Lu Mingfei moved to the dormitory of the Public Security Headquarters.

After washing up, he lay on the bed alone, sorting out what happened during the day.

The first day of becoming a public security hunter was extremely bumpy.

His good partner, senior and "old acquaintance"——Amaterasu was attacked by the egg demon and fell!
Kafka is going to arrange a new partner for him.

Could it be… “Pava?”

Just as Lu Mingfei was thinking, the famous line came from the computer screen: "Oh, kneel down, human, I am Pava!"

That's Chainsaw Man on its third rerun.

When Lu Mingfei moved out of Kafka's house, he took the old notebook with him so that he could review the Chainsaw Man disc at any time.

Xingbao was watching intently, but Lu Mingfei was distracted.

Because now we are no longer looking for the sense of déjà vu in anime, but looking for the sense of déjà vu of anime in reality!

Whether it is Denji, who has a very similar experience to himself, or Makima, whose character is very similar to Kafka, they all seem to prove the possibility and authenticity of the existence of the "script"!
Even the first senior he met after becoming a public security officer had a setting very similar to "Hayakawa Aki"!
Even though they entered the alley afterwards, there was no fight, but that was because they knew each other before and so got along well.

What I didn't expect was...

Amaterasu's eggs still couldn't escape the disaster, he was really attacked by the "Egg Demon"!

He is currently receiving treatment in the hospital.

The egg demon that could only bounce back damage, even though Amaterasu was an SS-level demon hunter, could not escape the real damage of that critical hit!
...Although Lu Mingfei didn't know what SS-level Demon Hunter meant.

Could it be that there really is a "script" set up in the dark, and everything is already predetermined like fate, and I can't escape as long as I'm in Tianyi Wu? !
So, could the new teammate that Kafka arranges for herself tomorrow really be the Blood Demon Pava?
"Chainsaw Demon! Yay!"

In front of the brightly lit computer screen, Xingbao clapped his hands and cheered. The plot of the anime had already reached the climax of the previous episodes - Denji's second transformation into Chainsaw Man.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but take a deep breath and told himself: I have to be more careful tomorrow.

"Mat Demon" Pava appears.

What follows is Denji’s first big battle as Chainsaw Man!
A combination of bat demon + leech demon.

And it just so happens that Lu Mingfei has such an old enemy, who is also a bat demon!

The ugly guy who kidnapped him in the beginning teamed up with Miyamoto Isshin to cheat him, which was the source of the tragedy that caused him to be burdened with a debt of hundreds of thousands of credit points!
It would be a good thing if he could get rid of the dead bat at the same time.

Because that means that all of Lu Mingfei’s grudges on Tianyi Wu have been settled!

……

It was midnight and Lu Mingfei still couldn't fall asleep.

His biological clock has been messed up since he went to the erosion tunnel two days ago.

I feel sleepy at noon.

I became energetic again in the middle of the night.

In the darkness, Lu Mingfei lay on the bed looking at the ceiling. His fingers groped for the car key, and he lifted it up and placed it in front of his eyes.

The crimson electric key had a beaded tassel and a red carp pattern on it.

Lu Mingfei stared at the key in a daze, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind!
He thought of it!

I thought of the first time I met Ryoma.

Paradise Hall!
Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up, as if he had found the right way to open it.

The next moment, he opened the window and jumped out of the dormitory building without any hesitation.

Xingbao, who was still surfing the Internet late at night, was caught off guard and was pulled over. She screamed, "My game, just started!"
But he was powerless and could only be dragged away by Lu Mingfei.

Because there was like an invisible umbilical cord connecting Lu Mingfei and her.

With Lu Mingfei as the center of the circle, the umbilical cord has a diameter of five meters, and Xingbao cannot get out of this circle at all.

If the circle is forcibly broken, Xingbao's already transparent shadow body will be shattered and dissipated.

……

……

Bliss Pavilion.

The largest casino and hotel in Kyoto.

Half a month ago, in the crackdown on criminal gangs jointly launched by the company and the police, Ji Le Guan was the first to be hit.

At present, the main club areas have been completely banned, renovated, and demolished...

But the nearby parking lot remains intact.

Lu Mingfei took the car keys and tried while walking, carefully observing whether the surrounding vehicles responded.

"beibei~~"

found it!
Lu Mingfei ran over in surprise.

It was a fiery red sports car, shaped like a Ferrari on Earth.

Lu Mingfei still remembers that on the first night he met Longma, she drove a fiery red sports car like this and played a crazy prank on him.

But I was deceived by her three times in a row!
in memory,
The girl with twin ponytails sat on the hood of the car, her arms folded across her chest, looking down at him. The cool kimono on her body was like fireworks floating in the night.

"That woman left this car to us. She finally did a good thing~!"

Xingbao and Lu Mingfei formed a united front and agreed that Longma was a bad woman who could not be provoked.

After unlocking the car key, she got into the car and rolled comfortably on the massage seat. Lu Mingfei asked her curiously, "Since you are a virtual body, why can't you just come in?"

"Yes, but not necessary."

Xingbao said she was afraid she would get stuck.

With Lu Mingfei beside her, she certainly wasn’t worried about her safety if she got stuck.

But if she develops a habit, and Lu Mingfei is not around again, if she gets stuck accidentally, that would be bad...

Lu Mingfei and Xingbao searched every corner of the vehicle, trying to find something Longma left for them.

But after searching the entire car inside and out, including the trunk, we couldn't find any boxes or notes of any kind.

"Could it be that the woman ran away in such a hurry that she didn't have time to refuel her car, so she left the keys to us so that we can refuel her beloved car?"

Xingbao scratched his head and thought.

"No, I think it's more likely that she's playing tricks on us again!" Lu Mingfei sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel with his hands, and sighed deeply.

When he got the key and looked for the corresponding luxury car with great expectation, trying to get an unknown surprise, he found out...

The surprise is actually that there is no surprise, it’s just an ordinary car!

If Ryoma were here, he would definitely say that it was such fun to feel so disappointed!
"She has always been such a bad person and never plays by the rules. I really shouldn't have expected anything from that little female ghost!"

Lu Mingfei lamented that he was still too young and actually believed Longma’s nonsense!

Place the car key on the sensing area and start the engine.

After all, it is a limited edition sports car, so it should be worth hundreds of thousands or even millions...

Shit! That woman is so rich, yet she always likes to have sex with me for free... Lu Mingfei muttered as he was about to back the car out of the garage.

But at this moment, a red doll placed on the center console suddenly shook its big head——

"Ahaha! I caught you!"

"How dare you say bad things about me? I'm going to punish you! Little raccoon... No, little gray hair? Strange, how did you become like this?"

The doll suddenly spoke, which scared Lu Mingfei.

He subconsciously slapped the doll away, "What the hell!"

"Oh! Damn it! You dared to hit Master Hanabi, you're done, kid. I'm going to turn into a bomb demon and blow you up into the sky!"

Bomb demon?

Xingbao sniffed her nose, turned to look at Lu Mingfei and shook her head. She did not encounter any smell of the devil.

It really doesn't.

Because this thing is not a demon, but...

【Fireworks dolls, alchemy dolls. 】

【Special status: role playing. 】

[Status Weakness: Open its packaging (tear off the doll's clothes)]

……

"Strange little thing, are you the thing that Ryoma left for me?"

Lu Mingfei lifted up the big-headed doll that was lying on its back with its white underwear showing, and looked at the Q-version doll with interest.

The head-to-body ratio is 1:1, and it looks like it is purely handmade.

There are two cloth ears like twin ponytails sewn on the head, and on one side there is a red and white fox mask and a small bell.

The kimono on the doll was also red and white, which reminded Lu Mingfei of Ryoma when they first met.

The fiery red wind reveals white thighs, and there are red rope leg rings on the legs...

Since Longma prepared it early in the morning, and it has a white attribute, it shouldn't be dangerous, right?

Lu Mingfei still has more trust in the judgment of the Eternal Burning Eye.

Moreover, although that woman Longma always teased him, she never really killed him.

He just didn't quite understand this role.

Could it be that this doll has its own independent consciousness?

"Don't be so playful with me!"

"Damn little gray hair, let me tell you, you have offended Master Hanabi, so I will count down to five, and then... explode!"

The firework doll shook its head and spoke in a startled tone.

"five--"

"Four--"

"one!!"

The big-headed doll suddenly screamed.

But, nothing happened.

Lu Mingfei blinked his eyes. "Did you get the command wrong? Did you forget to say three or two?"

"Damn it! Didn't it scare you? But it doesn't matter, I never went to school anyway, so it doesn't matter if I missed a number... I mean the bomb demon never went to school!"

Firework Doll coughed twice and continued:

"I'm not even a real bomb. Do you feel surprised, surprised, and confused? Let me tell you, I'm actually a gift doll."

"Open me, and you'll gain access to the Mutually Assured Destruction button in my body. By pressing that button, you can activate the imaginary neutron bomb left by Master Hanabi, and then... BooM!"

"Blow up the entire Tianyi Five!"

"Is this true? Is Longma so awesome?" Lu Mingfei didn't believe it at all.

If she could blow up the entire Tianyi Five, would she still have to escape while being wanted by the police?
It's just empty talk, but there's nothing practical to say that can convince people. It's definitely fake!
"Actually, this is really the gift I left for you, little gray hair... How strange, where is the raccoon next to you? How did you get dyed with her color?"

The voice of the Firework Doll suddenly changed.

The originally rhythmic and funny voice turned into Longma's familiar smiling tone.

"You've been missing for a long time. I was so sad and worried about you. Now that you've finally come back, why don't you come find me first?"

"..."

Lu Mingfei patted the doll's head curiously, "Is there actually a mobile phone in there? Those two pairs of glowing red eyes are cameras."

"Don't change the subject, answer me!" Long Ma asked loudly, "Have you forgotten me?"

"You mean, are we familiar with each other?"

"Aren't we familiar with each other?"

"Are you familiar?"

“Very familiar!”

"I'm really unfamiliar with it, thank you~"

"Okay, little gray hair, you're going to start cutting ties now, right? We agreed that we'd be boyfriend and girlfriend from 10pm to 2am, and now it's 10:30pm, and you're just denying it?"

The firework doll shook its head, and its pair of scarlet eyes flashed.

"I have signed you as Hanabi-sama's limited boyfriend. Tell me what happened to you so that I can smile from the bottom of my heart."

"..."

Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes and ignored her.

"Good good!"

"I thought you were a little gray-haired boy, but I didn't expect you to be such an ungrateful person. I was planning to take you away from Tianyiwu and onto a bigger stage~"

The voice of the spark doll sounds so sad.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but be stunned. Longma was actually going to leave Tianyi Five?

Is it such a coincidence?
Aren't you and Sambo looking for the same black ship?

But on second thought, it was true. Sambo, an ordinary gigolo manager, was forced to hide in a trash can and dare not come out because of the wanted order.

Hanabi is the last major cadre of the Miyamoto family. Neon District government and company departments will probably not let her go.

In order to ensure their own safety, they naturally spent money.

Now that Tianyi Wu is connected to the Milky Way, the worst that can happen is that we can just move to another planet and start over.

As a result, Lu Mingfei's acquaintances left one after another.

And before leaving, they all extended an invitation to him.

But as expected, Lu Mingfei still refused.

Because people are constantly looking forward, old interpersonal relationships will disappear and new interpersonal relationships will be established.

As long as Kafka, a woman who was like an anchor, remained in Tianyi Wu, Lu Mingfei had no intention of leaving with the others.

"Okay, okay~ Looking at your expression, you've actually found a new love? Who is she? Tell me, the bomb devil doll is going to blow her to death!"

The doll's voice changed again, becoming rhythmic and funny.

Lu Mingfei knew that the girl on the other side had probably disconnected.

But he didn't know whether Longma could continue to go online.

Or maybe the doll’s camera is always on?
In this case, wouldn't the initiative always be in the hands of the other side?

Got to make some changes...

Then, Lu Mingfei had an idea.

The doll was tied up tightly with red ropes and her eyes were blindfolded with black cloth to restrict all her movements.

Click—take another photo with your phone.

Now, the initiative is in his own hands!
