Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

The others present had clearly also noticed this unusual phenomenon. Tachibana Masamune's eyes showed a hint of panic: "What's going on?"

"I don't know," Dr. Chen replied.

"do not know?"

“I don’t know!” Dr. Chen frowned. “This has never happened before…it’s like something has awakened this heart.”

Wait, am I being woken up?

Dr. Chen suddenly looked at Erii lying on the operating table.

At the same moment, Erii, who was lying on the operating table and had been injected with anesthesia and fallen into a deep sleep, suddenly opened her eyes, with pure gold flames burning in her pupils.

"The patient is exhibiting abnormal symptoms!"

"Activate the emergency plan!"

Two doctors injected a large dose of anesthetic into a syringe and carefully approached Erii, gently extending the needle toward her arm. However, just before they touched her, the syringe broke, and the needle reversed and pierced into their palms.

Before the two could even cry out in pain, they were immediately thrown back by an invisible force and slammed heavily against the wall.

Immediately afterwards, the straps that had been binding Erii broke off one by one, and Erii, with her pure gold eyes flashing, floated in mid-air, looking down at Tachibana Masamune and the others below with the aura of a queen ruling the world.

"..."

She parted her lips slightly, and a melodious yet dignified voice emanated from them as she recited.

"It's a spell!" Dr. Chen shouted. "She's chanting a spell! We must find a way to stop her! Otherwise, everyone in the entire building will be judged and killed by her!"

"It's too late!" Genjiro roared hoarsely, "What on earth is that heart of yours? Why is it making Erii go berserk!"

"..." Dr. Chen suddenly fell silent.

Just as Genji was about to press for more information, he suddenly heard a muffled wooden clapper sound coming from the room.

Monotonous and empty, as if it came from the traditional music of some ancient people.

Chapter 66 Don't lose them next time!

It was a very strange sound, a mixture of the rustling of wood rubbing together and the clanging of heavy hammers, eerie and captivating.

White curtains fluttered, light bulbs flickered, and everything trembled uncontrollably. The powerful pressure created by Erii's incantation, like the wrath of a king, was directly imposed on the minds of everyone present. Even Genjiro couldn't help but feel the urge to kneel.

But the moment the sound rang out, that thought wavered, like a window suddenly being smashed open in a suffocating room where the oxygen had run out, and a large amount of air rushing in, giving one a sudden moment to catch one's breath.

Gasping for breath and kneeling on one knee, Genji immediately looked up at Erii. The awe-inspiring, kingly rage that had previously graced Erii's face vanished, replaced by fear, which then returned to fury a few seconds later. The golden flames in her eyes flickered between dim and bright, but ultimately the dimness prevailed over the brightness.

What was that sound? How could it suppress the rampaging Erii?

In the instant her body plummeted through the air, Genjiro had already rushed forward and caught the girl in the shrine maiden's outfit.

The sudden sound of the clapper had ceased abruptly, just as abruptly as its appearance. Genji looked around; the doctors who had tried to approach Erii had all been blown away by the massive blast wave. Tachibana Masamune was kneeling on the ground, while Dr. Chen was using his body to protect the glass jar containing the heart.

With veins bulging on his forehead, Genji rushed to Dr. Chen, holding Erii in his arms, and grabbed him by the collar.

"What the hell is that thing you're holding in your arms?" Genji said, holding Erii by the collar as Dr. Chen pressed her against the wall, leaving her suspended in mid-air. "Do you know that you almost killed Erii, and almost killed all of us?"

Even Genjiro had never seen Erii act so violently before. For a moment, Genjiro even felt that the girl in front of him was not Erii, but something else controlling Erii's body.

“I advise you to let go.” Dr. Chen’s brilliant golden pupils reflected Genji’s image. “Believe me, you don’t want to fight me.”

"You want to try?"

“I don’t mind giving Mr. Tachibana Munemasa some training for the next generation of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, but I think the most urgent thing is to put away this heart. After all, no one knows how long Erii will be unconscious. If she goes into a berserk state again after she wakes up, we may not be as lucky as we were to escape this disaster.”

"Don't be rude to Dr. Chen!" Tachibana Masamune also staggered to his feet and sternly ordered Genji Chisei, "Chisei, put it down!"

Yuan Zhisheng gritted his teeth, his hands gripping Dr. Chen's white coat collar tightly. If his fingers were to extend a few more centimeters forward, he could easily pinch Dr. Chen's fragile throat and crush the ring cartilage he relied on for breathing.

But in the end, he let go and put Dr. Chen down from the wall.

Dr. Chen straightened his collar with one hand, walked to the side, picked up the black box, and put the heart back into it.

Erii lay quietly in Genji's arms, her sleeping face serene. If you didn't look closely, you couldn't even feel her breathing, just like a Girls' Day doll with her eyes closed.

"The surgery cannot proceed." After packing his suitcase, Dr. Chen looked at Tachibana Masamune and said quietly, "Ms. Erii's rejection reaction to her heart is far stronger than we imagined. If we continue the surgery, and Ms. Erii goes into a berserk state again, it could endanger not only Ms. Erii and us, but also the entire city."

"Eri was in such a state just now, and you're still thinking about your surgery!"

Genji couldn't help but rush towards Dr. Chen again, but Tachibana Masamune stepped forward and stood between him and Dr. Chen.

“Chisei, I understand how you feel right now,” Tachibana Masamune said. “But Dr. Chen’s original intention was also to cure Erii. Everyone’s starting point was for Erii’s good. Although there were some setbacks in the process, fortunately Erii is still safe and sound. No one had any ill intentions.”

“If it weren’t for the fact that you’re my father’s friend, I definitely wouldn’t have let you off so easily.” Yuan Zhisheng stared straight into Dr. Chen’s eyes, his breathing heavy.

“If I weren’t a friend of your father, I wouldn’t have gotten involved in this mess.” Dr. Chen shrugged, his expression behind his mask seemingly smiling.

"you!"

"Alright, Chisei!" Tachibana Masamune said, arms crossed. "Eri just went berserk, and her condition is still unstable. You take Erii... and go out first. Dr. Chen will give me an explanation for what caused Erii's berserk state."

"But Father..."

Tachibana Masamune took a step closer to Genji and whispered, "The first thing we need to do right now is check Erii's current physical condition. This is not the time for you to act recklessly. Before we leave, I need you to bring enough serum. Did you bring it?"

"Bring it."

"That's good. Have the crow and the demon fetch the serum and give Erii an injection if necessary. Now, take Erii out."

Yuan Zhisheng took a deep breath and bowed his head: "Yes, Father."

……

Lu Mingfei crossed the intersection with the traffic lights, wandered around the entire street, and even returned to the park, circling the whole park, but still couldn't find the figure he was looking for.

An hour later, when I returned to the basketball court, the girl was still waiting foolishly in the same spot.

Upon seeing Lu Mingfei return, Liu Miaomiao smiled with relief and waved gently to him.

Seeing Liu Miaomiao smiling and waving at him, Lu Mingfei, who had been feeling depressed, suddenly wanted to smile along with her for some reason.

He unconsciously quickened his pace and walked to her side.

"Even if you're waiting for me, you could find some shade under a tree to hide in. Aren't you afraid of getting a tan in this bright sun?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find me." Liu Miaomiao smiled brightly, then suddenly lowered her head and asked softly, "Have you found the person you're looking for?"

Lu Mingfei was taken aback: "How did you know..."

"I'm not stupid." Liu Miaomiao stuck out her tongue lightly. "You were in such a hurry when you left, you must have suddenly seen someone. Although I don't know who it was, it must have been very important to you."

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, she is very important to me."

Or rather, she was the person he felt most sorry for.

"So, have you found her?"

"No." Lu Mingfei touched his nose and smiled wryly. "I lost her."

"Oh, I see." Liu Miaomiao put her hands behind her back, looked to the side, and nodded. "It's okay. This city isn't that big. We'll have a chance to meet again. Next time, you'd better try harder and not lose them."

Lu Mingfei looked into Liu Miaomiao's eyes. She had her head down, and her eyes seemed to ripple with sunlight like the surface of a lake. However, he couldn't see her completely because her eyes were looking to the side, in a direction that didn't belong to either of them. Therefore, Lu Mingfei could only see a small part of her eyes peeking out from under her long eyelashes.

What is she looking at? Or is she actually avoiding something?

Liu Miaomiao lightly touched the ground with her toes, then suddenly spun around like a swan, placing her hands behind her back and facing away from Lu Mingfei.

"Alright, it's getting late. Shall we find somewhere to have lunch? Or should we just head back?"

After waiting for a while, I still didn't receive a reply from Lu Mingfei.

Without turning back, Liu Miaomiao took her first step when someone grabbed her hand from behind.

Chapter 67 Lu Mingfei's Two Firsts

The eight sufferings of life are birth, old age, sickness, death, not getting what you want, being with those you hate, being separated from those you love, and the suffering of the senses. But in reality, there are far more than eight kinds of messed-up things in life.

For example, Lu Mingfei knows that Liu Miaomiao likes him, and that dating a girl like Liu Miaomiao, who is so considerate and clingy, would definitely be fun and carefree. But can he really just stay with Liu Miaomiao like that?

It's difficult because he's not the fifteen-year-old Lu Mingfei; he's Lu Mingfei who has lived a second life. He has too many things to consider: Old Tang's matter, Xia Mi's matter, Erii's matter, and of course, all those troubling things at Kassel College.

He'll definitely go back to save the tortoise, Genji, and Erii. But should he go save Ye Shengya? What about the two senior brothers and sisters who will be trapped on the Imperial Capital Metro Line 1? What about Old Tang? What about Xia Mi?

His life was like a time bomb. These three years of high school were his last peaceful time. When the time came, he would inevitably face his destiny.

He was someone destined to be caught in a whirlpool, burdened with debt, making it difficult for him to make any promises to any girl.

But damn it, he just can't stand seeing girls cry!

Liu Miaomiao turned around in surprise to see Lu Mingfei holding her hand, her face already showing signs of tears.

Lu Mingfei didn't know why he reached out and took Liu Miaomiao's hand, but he knew that the moment he did, many things changed. This wasn't Nibelungen in the Beijing subway; there was no Xia Mi here to erase Liu Miaomiao's memories for him.

Moreover... erasing her memory again would be unfair to Liu Miaomiao.

Liu Miaomiao just bit her lip, looking at Lu Mingfei, tears welling up in her eyes, unsure whether to let them fall or not.

Lu Mingfei tried to pull Liu Miaomiao's hand. Liu Miaomiao resisted at first, but after Lu Mingfei pulled her a few more times, she was obediently pulled in front of him.

"What are you doing?" Liu Miaomiao forced herself not to break down and used her wrist to wipe away the tears that were overflowing from the corners of her eyes.

"I don't know why I did it," Lu Mingfei said honestly. "I just suddenly wanted to hold your hand."

"Who gave you permission to hold my hand? You're nobody to me."

Although she said that, she moved even closer to Lu Mingfei, and the two were only about ten centimeters apart.

At such a close distance, if one person looks down and the other looks up, the distance can be instantly reduced to zero.

"If only Lu Mingze could appear now," Lu Mingfei suddenly thought to himself. "At least he could tell him what lines to say in this situation."

But it's better that he doesn't show up; this is something he should have faced on his own.

Thinking about what he was about to say, Lu Mingfei also felt that he was quite a jerk.

"Well, actually I know a lot of things." Lu Mingfei tried hard to control himself and not avoid Liu Miaomiao's eyes.

A teenage girl's eyes are pure and clear, so clear that you can see right into her heart. Of course, it's also easy for you to fall head over heels for her. Faced with such clear eyes, even the slightest lie feels like polluting that lake.

What's glistening beneath her tears? It must be anticipation. She's definitely hoping you'll say something that will make her happy and satisfied, something she wants to hear. She thinks you'll definitely say it, otherwise why would you suddenly take a girl's hand?

Lu Mingfei continued:

"I know you like me."
