Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Unable to hold back, Mai Shude blurted out a phrase in her hometown dialect.

However, this also proves one thing: the information is indeed genuine.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have gone to such lengths to intercept and kill me.

Mai Shude didn't know much about Nibelungen; the only knowledge she had about it came from her boss.

But she had once asked the shopkeeper out of curiosity how to get out if she accidentally wandered into the Nibelungen. She clearly remembered the man's answer:

……

“Nibelungen is actually a vast alchemical realm. Since it is an alchemical realm, it cannot defy the rules of alchemy.”

"The book on alchemy, The Emerald Book, says: 'The lower is like the upper, and the upper is like the lower.' This statement already indicates that the exit of the Nibelungs is the entrance, and the entrance is the exit."

……

"So as long as we drive back along the road, we can leave this awful place, right?"

Mai Shude spoke softly, as if she were asking a question to someone she couldn't see and waiting for their answer.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a huge roar was heard, as if something had slammed heavily onto the roof of his car.

The front and rear wheels immediately emitted a sharp screeching sound on the asphalt road in the heavy rain, and the car body swayed left and right, slowing down in a serpentine manner.

Volvo cars are made of hot-formed ultra-high-strength steel, giving them exceptional impact resistance; safety is their biggest selling point. However, even so, the impact just now caused noticeable deformation to the roof of this S80, with a small gap appearing in the sunroof.

Mai glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the dark monster through the small crack.

Instead of slowing down, she kept her slender, bare feet, painted with purple nail polish, firmly pressed the accelerator while simultaneously opening the car's glove compartment.

The next second, the car felt lighter, and the cool rain, accompanied by a gunshot, poured into the car and splashed onto Mai's face.

The black figure fell from the roof of the car and was thrown heavily onto the asphalt road in the rain by the speeding S80, with black blood flowing together with the rain.

Mai Shude looked away from the rearview mirror, holding the modified black Glock pistol in one hand, smoke still rising from the muzzle.

She actually managed to shoot the bullet perfectly through the small gap in the sunroof of the car, just by using the reflection in the mirror and turning her back to the camera!

Mai wiped her face with the back of her hand, her almond-shaped eyes scanning the three rearview mirrors of the car, not missing any possible blind spots.

"Is only one Deadpool catching up?" Mai murmured.

She didn't let her guard down. Deadpools usually appear in groups and rarely alone. Those ghostly monsters were definitely still hiding in some corner, waiting to launch a second attack.

Sure enough, the thought had barely formed in his mind when several loud thuds echoed from the car. The three Deadpools jumped onto the hood of his car, their bloodless faces contorted in a grotesque and terrifying manner.

Instead of firing, she lightly touched the ground with her toes, brought the car to a sudden stop, and the immense inertia threw Deadpool off the hood.

Mai pulled the handbrake and stepped back onto the accelerator. The car roared backward, then floored the accelerator again, and the Volvo sped back like a wild horse. A crisp sound like something breaking came from under the wheels... the sound of the Deadpool's bones being crushed.

Mai Shude took a deep breath, but her expression grew even colder.

Although he had dealt with the three Deadpools, it was clear that they had achieved their goal.

In those few seconds of delay, countless dark figures had caught up and stood densely packed on both sides of the road, like spectators watching a car chase in Initial D.

“You guys like watching car chases, but I’m not Mako Sato.”

Mai didn't floor the accelerator like before, because a dark shadow appeared directly in front of her. There were too many Deadpools, and even a car as sturdy as a Volvo would probably break down and deform under continuous impacts.

Moreover, at such a short distance, she no longer had enough room to accelerate and kill these Deadpools.

"This car was borrowed from Potato Chip Girl, so I have to return it properly."

Saketoku Mai sighed, and the next moment she pulled out two knives from behind the driver's seat.

……

Chapter 133 Unusual Elasticity

The sun had completely set, and it was already night. Looking into the distance, the neon-lit city appeared even more dazzling and decadent in the rainy night, revealing a kind of decadent luxury.

"Where are we going?"

Lu Mingfei asked, his breathing a little rapid. Xia Mi held an umbrella for him from behind, the part of her body that was in contact with him was damp and cold.

"Of course, it's about entering His Nibelungen."

Xia Mi looked up at the sky: "Senior brother, don't you remember? The last time you and Senior Brother Chu entered Nibelungen, it was on the overpass near Shilan Middle School."

“Of course I remember that we entered Odin’s Nibelungen last time via the viaduct.”

Lu Mingfei's forehead was sweating, and he awkwardly wanted to cover his face. "But are we just going to go up the overpass like this? Relying on our own two feet to pedal bicycles? If the traffic police catch us, they'll tell the school!"

What made Lu Mingfei even more embarrassed was that he could feel a slightly unusual elasticity in the area where Xia Mi was pressing against his back...

This guy isn't... well, isn't he...?

They got off the bus at an intersection next to an overpass that spiraled up to the city's expressway. When they got off, Chen Wenwen's father gave them the only umbrella in the car and told them to be careful on their way home so late.

Xia Mi sweetly agreed. After the car drove away, she pulled Lu Mingfei along and picked up a Phoenix brand bicycle from the roadside. The bicycle looked older than Lu Mingfei. She gently shook it, and the bicycle creaked. There was even a bag of vegetables in the basket in front of the bicycle. No one knew who had left it there and forgotten to take it.

"Isn't it a bit much to just steal someone else's car like that?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Xia Mi was busy unlocking the door, and said matter-of-factly, "Senior brother, have you never studied 'Kong Yiji'? What scholars do is not called stealing, it's called burglary! Besides, we're not stealing, we're borrowing! We'll return it later."

With a "click," the U-lock was removed by the little thief, who twirled it in her hand with a smug look on her face.

"Alright, senior brother, you ride the bike, I'll sit behind you and hold the umbrella for you." Xia Mi sat on the back of the bicycle with her legs spread apart, patting the wet bicycle seat. She didn't seem to care at all that she was wearing a skirt today.

Lu Mingfei sighed, took out two hundred yuan from his wallet, thought for a moment, then took out another three hundred yuan, stuffed them all into the bag of vegetables, and secured it with a U-lock.

"Senior brother." Xia Mi blinked, her eyelashes, still glistening with raindrops, shimmering under the streetlights. "You're such a good person!"

"Can you please not just tell any guy you're a good person?" Lu Mingfei hopped on the Phoenix brand bicycle, which was probably older than him. "How do I get there?"

"Let's go up from the overpass!" Xia Mi leaned forward slightly, pressing herself against Lu Mingfei's back, and opened the umbrella over their heads. "Let's go!"

Then, it turned into this scene: Lu Mingfei was panting and straining as he pedaled the bicycle, while Xia Mi sat on the back seat, leisurely swinging her legs.

"How far is it from Odin's Nibelungen?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"I don't know." Xia Mi tilted her head. "I only sensed that the elemental turbulence around here is the most intense, so I think the entrance to Nibelungen is probably nearby. Don't you have that guy's mark? Do you feel anything about it?"

“No.” Lu Mingfei shook his head.

"Then let's keep riding!" Xia Mi put her hands on Lu Mingfei's shoulders and shook him. "Hurry, hurry, hurry, go, go, go!"

The car body emitted a mournful creaking sound.

"Hey you, stop shaking me!"

"Then senior brother, hurry up and sprint! Junior sister doesn't feel anything yet."

"Don't say such strange things! And you have to consider the lifespan of this car!"

Suddenly, there was a "clunk," followed by the sound of metal hitting the ground with a "clanging" sound. A few seconds later, the overpass fell silent—no, it was deathly silent, with only the white noise of the rain scattering around.

Lu Mingfei remained silent, gripping the lone bicycle handlebars. Xia Mi suddenly tapped her head with her right hand, closed one eye, and stuck out her tongue, trying to get away with being cute.

Unmoved, Lu Mingfei decisively raised his hand and delivered a chop to the female thief, Xiaolongnu, who was a head shorter than him.

"Ouch!" Xia Mi covered her head with one hand, pouting pitifully, "Senior brother, you're so cold!"

"I want you to stop shaking!"

"Who knew this bicycle was so flimsy! I should have stolen a better one."

"Luckily you only stole a Phoenix brand bicycle. If you had tried to steal a Giant Merida, I really wouldn't have had the money to pay for it."

"I didn't ask you to pay me back..." Xia Mi glanced at Lu Mingfei and pouted.

"What do we do now?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Xia Mi looked up, twirled gracefully in place, her soaked skirt dancing in the rain.

“Let’s keep going,” Xia Mi said. “I can sense that the center of the elemental turbulence is very close to us.”

"Ok."

No longer needing to ride a bike, Lu Mingfei took the umbrella from Xia Mi's hand. Xia Mi stood beside Lu Mingfei, and with each step they took, their arms would occasionally touch. The umbrellas were wet and cold, yet they carried the softness and warmth of each other's skin.

With such heavy rain and the bicycle ride, both of them were already soaked through. Xia Mi's silk lining clung tightly to her fair and smooth skin, outlining her beautiful collarbone and revealing the girl's clean, fleshy complexion.

Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered the contact he had just had, and his heart began to pound.

However, Lu Mingfei calmed down after his gaze inadvertently swept over a certain part of Xia Mi's body.

"How much longer do we have to walk?" Lu Mingfei asked. "We're not going to be walking all night, are we?"

Xia Mi shrugged, looked up and smiled, "If we really have to walk all night, senior brother, will you accompany your junior sister?"

"Forehead……"

Lu Mingfei subtly averted his gaze to avoid Xia Mi's clear eyes.

This guy... he's getting better and better at pretending to be human. Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

“We’ve come this far, so even if it really takes all night, I’ll just have to bite the bullet and walk with you. Anyway, it’ll take half a day to walk back,” Lu Mingfei said.

"Yo yo yo." Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei's face with a mischievous smile and poked Lu Mingfei's waist with her elbow. "Senior brother is being tsundere!"

"Pah, you're the arrogant one! Your whole family is arrogant!"

……

Mai Shude stood on the roof of the car and exhaled a heavy breath.

She had already completely cut open the Volvo's sunroof with her knife. Now she stood on the roof, holding a Glock pistol in one hand and her knife in the other. Another knife and a fully loaded spare magazine were casually tucked into her waistband.

The Deadpools around them were a dense, black mass, like ants, and the white mist acted as a protective shield, isolating both sides.

The reason Deadpool didn't rush forward immediately was because she had just replaced all the bullets in her pistol with alchemical mercury bullets. When the first batch of Deadpool rushed forward, the bullets fired from the barrel entered the group of Deadpool and were immediately vaporized into mercury vapor by the high temperature, temporarily stopping the Deadpool's advance.

However, Mai knew that the mercury vapor wouldn't last long. On a rainy night, the rain would quickly wash away all the mercury, and then the Dead Servants would swarm around again.

The dead servants in the Nibelungen are endless, but the mercury bullets in his possession are limited.

She needs to use this brief respite to find a way to break through the encirclement.

"Only at times like this do I start to hate that my Word of Power isn't a high-risk Word of Power."

Mai closed her eyes, the cool raindrops pattering against her smooth, delicate skin. She was using the rain to keep herself calm.
