Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 264 Everything is for the Glorious Evolution
At the Center for Mental Health Research, Zero, who had already received word and was waiting there, met Lu Mingfei and Erii.

His gaze lingered briefly on their clasped hands before he turned away without a word and led them toward the medical room.

Erii's condition is not serious enough to require a blood transfusion, so this was just a normal intravenous injection.

A petite, platinum-blonde girl in a white lab coat expressionlessly drew serum into a syringe, then gently pushed with her thumb to expel the air from inside the syringe.

The doll-like girl with black and red hair, her clothes half-undone, watched expressionlessly as the doll-like nurse pointed the needle at her arm. After hesitating for two seconds, she turned her head and rested it on Lu Mingfei's shoulder, pretending to be very scared.

Lu Mingfei: "..."

For a fleeting moment, he wanted to complain, but he quickly found a reason for the girl.

Erii spent her childhood in a hospital bed. Her life consisted of nothing but the smell of disinfectant, the slight pain of needles piercing her skin, and the coldness of medicine spreading through her body. It is only natural that she felt resistant and fearful of injections.

While the reality was somewhat different from what he had imagined, Erii had actually mastered the art of acting cute without any formal instruction.

Previously, her only support was her brother, but he showed great restraint in his affection for her, and she knew she couldn't cause him any trouble.

Moreover, on TV, female leads usually act coquettishly with male leads, but rarely with their brothers.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt." Lu Mingfei reached out and touched Erii's hair, whispering comforting words in her ear.

Her hair, which had gradually lost its pure black color and now had some deep red strands covering the girl's delicate face, was now partially obscured by the shadows of her hair. Erii's eyes, hidden in the shadows of her hair, curved slightly as she softly murmured "Mmm."

The nurse, Zero, remained expressionless, her icy blue eyes not even glancing at them. After applying iodine, she inserted the needle directly into Erii's elbow vein, gently and slowly pushing the serum into the blood vessel.

The scene where Superman dies, like in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Man of Steel refuses to let medical staff insert needles, didn't happen. Erii was soft and sweet, and didn't utter a sound.

With the information left by Tachibana Masamune and the King, the Deadpool fetal serum has been deciphered. As long as there is sufficient material, there will be a continuous supply of serum.

However, Lu Mingfei will not continue to use this temporary solution. Now he is just waiting for news from Su Enxi. When the time is right, even better raw materials will be delivered.

Every medicine has its side effects, let alone serum that reverses dragon transformation. Erii only injected a very small amount this time.

Undiluted is sufficient.

The needle was removed, and without even pressing the wound with a medical cotton swab, the small red spot on the fair skin had already healed without a drop of blood flowing out.

Erii leaned on Lu Mingfei's shoulder for a while, without the weakness and exhaustion she felt after each serum injection, and couldn't tell whether her body had returned to normal.

So she sat up, wanting to take off her shrine maiden outfit and ask Lu Mingfei to check if the red marks on her back had faded.

If it were in private, Lu Mingfei would definitely not mind helping him with this favor.

But it's a bit inappropriate that Nurse Zero is still watching.

He turned his back to Erii and asked Zero to check it for him.

A rustling sound came from behind him, and Lu Mingfei's superb hearing and imagination brought him a vivid picture.

Zero glanced at Erii's flawless back, helped her put her shrine maiden outfit back on, and then said that everything was okay.

Looking at Erii, who was even more energetic than before and could walk at least ten more blocks without getting tired, Lu Mingfei pondered that, indeed, things at the genetic level are difficult to interfere with using cheat codes.

Blizzard is useless, what good are you?

Once she had fully recovered, Erii wanted to go out and have fun again. Tokyo has many amusement parks, and there are many rides that Disney doesn't have, waiting for her to experience.

Lu Mingfei gave Zero a few instructions and then continued his trip with Erii.

Ling watched the two get into the car and leave. Just as she was about to turn around and enter the research center, which was still lifeless even in the daytime, her phone suddenly vibrated slightly.

I took it out and saw that it was a message from that person.

The content consists of only one picture, featuring two chubby Siamese cats with their heads very close to the camera, their round faces distorted.

But Zero's gaze did not linger on the faces of the two comical fat cats, but instead fell on the boy whose face was half-covered behind the two round heads.

His smile remained the same, carrying a hint of mischievousness, a little wicked, yet impossible to dislike.

Although he didn't say anything, his pale gold eyes, staring directly at the camera, seemed to hold a thousand unspoken words.

Suppressing the urge to save the image, she gently typed a reply, her mind replaying the scene that had dragged her into the dream and the other person's resolute words.

Before the phone screen went dark and was put into her pocket, a gentle breeze ruffled the girl's platinum blonde hair, and in a fleeting glance, she saw the brief two-word reply—

good looking.

……

As night fell, the number of law enforcement officers lurking inside the Genji Heavy Industries building had dwindled significantly.

Yuan Zhisheng stood by the window, looking down at the neon lights of the city, his handsome face expressionless.

The man who once brought him to this position and told him that they would make a great career together was no longer there, and all the lofty ambitions he had spoken of were false. So now, looking at the magnificent scenery that only a few people could appreciate, he felt no ripples in his heart.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, after tomorrow, he will have no further connection with this family and country.

What awaited him was a wider and freer world.

However, he didn't think too deeply about what the future would hold. He had watched anime to some extent and knew that he shouldn't make promises before undertaking a highly dangerous mission.

"Knock Knock-"

The office door behind her was pushed open, and Sakura walked in carrying a file.

Those were the information about the Kanto branch that he had asked Sakura to help him collect.

Sakrua wouldn't make baseless accusations; at the very least, he would raise suspicions without any evidence.

Tachibana Masamune is the only leader in the Kanto branch who is truly convinced of his abilities. The current minister and group leader are both "geniuses" he recommended back then. It's hard to say whether they will respond to Herzog's call at a crucial moment and inflict heavy damage on the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

I first looked at the glorious history of the Kanto branch. It was alright. Except when they were actually carrying out missions, they were either creating messes or cleaning up messes.

Looking at the branch's top leaders, each one is more violent than the last, a true concentration camp for problem children.

The more Yuan Zhisheng looked, the more he frowned, feeling that the possibility of them betraying him was increasing.

A large number of the Kanto branch members have now gone to the floating platform in the Japan Trench to set up camp, but the ministers and group leaders, as well as their confidants, are still drinking and carousing in the Kanto region.

While indulging in some fun before risking one's life is indeed in line with the yakuza style, Genji felt like they were holding some kind of mobilization meeting before a rebellion.

It's a bit unbelievable, but it's exactly the kind of thing those crazy guys from the Kanto branch would do.

"We have to be careful." Genjiro and Akechi Asuya are of equal rank. Even though he is the head of one of the three inner families, he cannot force the other to act unless he becomes the head of the family.

The only option is to send someone to keep a close watch.

And one must be careful not to overstep boundaries. If the person keeping watch is discovered, not only will they be left with nothing but bones, but it could also become a legitimate reason for their rebellion—

Damn it, are you afraid we won't obediently go and die, so you sent people to keep an eye on us?

You don't believe us? Holy crap, let's just flip the table and get to it!

The only problem is that internal strife at the front line is affecting morale, especially since this intelligence was provided by the very culprit who killed the patriarch. Even if it were told to other patriarchs, it might not have a positive effect.

Therefore, we still need to find someone else to carry out this task.

So, who should I look for?
It’s so hard to choose.

……

At a private hospital under the Sheqi Bajia Group, a well-proportioned doctor led a voluptuous nurse on rounds, eventually arriving at the intensive care unit.

Two family law enforcers dressed in black were guarding one of the intensive care units. When doctors and nurses approached, they stood up together to stop them and check their identities.

After confirming that there was no doubt about it, he felt relieved and stepped aside, then followed him into the intensive care unit.

The two law enforcement officers, with their hands on their weapons, did not let their guard down just because the pair had appeared a few times. At the slightest sign of trouble, they would subdue the two with lightning speed.

Under their wary gaze, the doctor leaned closer to Shinnosuke Fujiwara, who was lying on the hospital bed wearing a ventilator, and observed him for a moment. He then checked the data of various close monitoring devices as usual. After confirming that there were no abnormalities, he whispered a few words to the nurse, who took notes.

After dawdling for two or three minutes, the four of them came out again.

After watching the doctors and nurses leave, the two law enforcement officers sat down again and continued their rambling conversation.

In the distance, the doctor, who had kept his back straight, suddenly stumbled and nearly fell over as he turned into a blind spot.

Fortunately, the female nurse next to him reached out and grabbed him in time.

"Can you still hold on?" The nurse asked her partner, who was trembling uncontrollably.

At this moment, she was carrying a mummy on her shoulder, or rather, a person who had been wrapped up like a mummy.

"Cough cough, I'm alright." The doctor forced down the blood that rose in his throat, raised his hand to hold onto the wall, and moved toward the emergency exit.

"However, I probably won't be able to get back in time."

His voice was strained, and his hunched body trembled uncontrollably, as if he were enduring some kind of extreme pain.

The incandescent light overhead illuminated the fine scales on his face, and his golden eyes beneath his frameless glasses burned intensely, like two 40W light bulbs.

His hand, which he used to cover his mouth to suppress his cough, had sharp claws that had pierced through his glove, making it look terrifying and ferocious.

This is the consequence of overdosing on evolutionary drugs.

"You drive later. If I can't hold on, just kill me." The doctor's breathing became more and more rapid and violent, as if the blood in his body was burning.

The nurse glanced at her partner with a complicated expression, nodded slightly, and helped him down the emergency exit with one hand and the mummy on her shoulder with the other.

They were the demons sent by the king to rescue Fujiwara Shinnosuke from the hospital.

Both are A-level hybrids. The doctor possesses a word of power with effects similar to hypnosis, but this ability has too many prerequisites. It is easy to hypnotize ordinary people instantly, but it is extremely difficult to hypnotize the family's law enforcement officers instantly.

Therefore, he had to take evolution medicine to forcibly enhance his bloodline and strengthen his words of power, and spend a lot of effort to maintain his words of power, leaving enough time to steal the day and the night.

The person lying in the intensive care unit now is a member of the Oni clan who was seriously injured and became a vegetable a few days ago when the headquarters exploded.

Based on the principle of making use of waste, it was thrown under the nose of the Snake-Headed Eight Families and replaced with the chess piece that Lord King had his eye on.

Hypnotizing two A-grade hybrids in one go is quite difficult, especially since this hypnosis lasted for a full five minutes. The strain on the doctor's body pushed him to his limit, causing him to uncontrollably undergo dragon transformation.

However, the Oni Clan does not possess the Deadpool Fetal Serum that can stop the dragon transformation. Once they take the evolution drug and begin to evolve, it is impossible to stop them.

The doctor estimated that he had at most ten minutes left before he would degenerate into a mindless monster.

The hospital's main and back entrances were guarded, and entry and exit were subject to checks, preventing them from leaving through normal channels. Fortunately, the mixed-race individuals could easily climb over the wall.

As the nurse prepared to load the person into the car and take them back to see the general, away from the hospital, she saw her partner suddenly collapse to his knees the moment the door opened, clutching his head and breathing rapidly like asthma.

"Quick, do it!"

Realizing something was wrong, the doctor struggled to control his body and finally managed to squeeze out these three words through clenched teeth.

Without hesitation, the nurse drew her modified gun from her waist, aimed at her partner's bloodshot golden eyes, and pulled the trigger half a second later.

"boom!"

The bullet pierced the eyeball, penetrated the skull, shredded the brain, and then exited through the brain, leaving a conspicuous trail of sparks on the ground before being covered by splattered blood and brain matter.

"Ho ho-"

The doctor, with a gaping hole in his head, waited for his bloodshot, one-eyed man to appear. Looking at his long-time partner, his lips twitched slightly.

With a sense of relief, or perhaps liberation, he collapsed to the ground.

The nurse looked at her partner lying in a pool of blood, her eyes dimming slightly, but she quickly forced herself to cheer up.

"This is for glorious evolution!"

"This is an essential sacrifice on the path of evolution!"

She comforted herself with this thought, stuffed the mummy-like Fujiwara Shinnosuke into the back seat, took a body bag from the trunk, put her partner's body in it, and then drove away.

"The general will soon be able to revive the gods, allowing us to achieve true evolution."

The nurse gripped the steering wheel with both hands, her arm veins bulging, her gaze fixed resolutely ahead.

"By then, we won't have to live like rats in the sewers anymore."

"Everyone can openly do what they like without worrying about being harassed by the clan's demon slayers."

"It's all worth it."

"It's all worth it."

She murmured to herself as the streetlights ahead gradually dimmed.

I thought it was because the windshield was fogged up due to the cool night air, but the wipers didn't wipe anything. When I reached out to wipe it, I found that my arm was also blurry.

Warm tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, sliding down her cheeks and lingering on her chin.

She then realized that... her eyes were fogged up.
