Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Bullet Screen Wish Machine

Chapter 49: A Battle of Wits, Lao Lu vs. Hajimi!

Lu Mingfei's first thought was of the "dual personality" trope, which appears in many literary and artistic works.

Dissociative identity disorder, also known as multiple personality disorder, is a condition that can lead to multiple personality disorder.

In other words, the girl in front of us actually possesses two personalities: [Xia Mi] and [Jormungandr].

The two personalities have separate memories. Under normal circumstances, she is the human Xia Mi, but when she is in danger, the dragon Jormungandr will take over.

However, this assumption does not hold true for the other party.

Viewers who frequently watch Deadpool know that when there's too much bloodshed, the human and dragon instincts within him start to argue about "who is the master of this body, you or me?"

Human spirit is noble, but the "polluting" nature of the dragon race's will is too strong.

Even if a dragon truly loses its memory and thinks of itself as a human, the moment it regains its dragon memories, it will rediscover its identity as a dragon.

Jormungandr is essentially a dragon; in other words, the dragon is her primary personality, the original "I".

If Xiaolongnu has a dual personality, she should walk the world in the ferocious form of a dragon, occasionally being replaced by her alternate personality Xia Mi, and taking on a human form.

If dragons could still roam freely in their true form on the streets in modern society, Lu Mingfei felt that the patriarchs of these orthodox families in China could just commit suicide.

and so--

"She's acting me."

Lu Mingfei drew a conclusion.

On the other side, Xia Mi was sweating profusely.

If she had a choice, Xia Mi wouldn't want to have a direct confrontation with Lu Mingfei, but she really had no other option now.

Let alone whether this body's strength is enough to escape from Lu Mingfei.

The truly fatal problem is that since the "younger brother" seems to have discovered the mark on the "container," if he conducts further investigation on Chu Zihang and determines that there is a dragon king inside the latter, Lu Mingfei, as the new king, will definitely devour Chu Zihang along with the cocoon.

At that time, both Xia Mi and Jormungandr will completely disappear.

With nowhere else to turn, Xia Mi decides to take a gamble.

When she last met Lu Mingfei, she activated her dragon form and displayed her Grand rank.

Now that she's attacking in human form, and with the secret techniques she's learned over the years to conceal her identity, the new king shouldn't find out so easily.

After all, the new king was separated from the old king by an era, and the relationship between them was completely different from that between the four old monarchs.

If he is discovered, Jormungandr will have no choice but to break free of his cocoon and destroy him.

Chen Wenwen was completely unaware of the confrontation between the two. She looked at Lu Mingfei, then at Xia Mi, and felt neglected. Just then, the gate opened, so she hugged the collection of essays to her chest, lowered her head, and entered the courtyard.

"Senior brother, you got dumped."

Little Dragon Girl blinked and switched back to her Xia Mi personality.

Lu Mingfei did not answer. Just as Xia Mi did not believe he had come to celebrate Chu Zihang's birthday, Lu Mingfei also distrusted Xiaolongnu.

"We humans are having a birthday party, what are you, a dragon, doing here?"

The person is not good!

"But it's okay, even though Senior Sister is gone, Junior Sister is still here!"

Xia Mi patted her small chest and leaned closer, saying:

"Senior brother, I heard that Chu Zihang's family has prepared a lot of desserts. This is a great opportunity to eat like a tycoon!"

The girl stretched and, full of energy, took Lu Mingfei's arm and led him inside.

In the past, Lu Mingfei might have been truly bewitched by beauty and let the little dragon manipulate him without thinking. But now he felt that something was very wrong. Although he was now a well-dressed and respectable man of the upper class, Lu Mingfei was still very clear about himself—he was definitely not the kind of protagonist who would immediately have beautiful women throwing themselves at him as soon as he showed his domineering aura.

Besides, Lu Mingfei isn't blind. That damn vixen has a negative 20% favorability rating on her head. Is she trying to rip him off by being so proactive?

In the definition of "Master of Destiny in the Corner," a favorability rating of -20 means that the other party is very wary at this moment and does not trust you at all.

Incidentally, Teacher Lu, who just completed a practical lesson on "green tea" (a term referring to women who are skilled at seducing men), believes that Xia Mi is quite inexperienced in "seducing men," her invitations are stiff, and she is simply using numbers to make up for her lack of skill.

Lu Mingfei had reason to suspect that Xia Mi was actually trying to impersonate Tang Yin and was doing it all herself. While remaining vigilant, he decided to see what Xiaolongnu was really up to.

Behind the bronze-carved gate is a walkway wide enough for two cars to drive side by side, with greenery planted on both sides. After turning a few corners along the walkway, a spacious courtyard comes into view.

Chu Zihang's birthday party was not held indoors, but in this outdoor courtyard. The courtyard had already been tidied up, the ground was flat and clean, the large lawn was trimmed without flaw, and the sun shone on the beige sunshade, casting cool shadows.

The courtyard was cleared out to serve as a dance floor, with a piano placed at the edge. On the east side of the courtyard was a long Western-style table with a white tablecloth hanging down naturally. On the tablecloth were exquisite porcelain plates and paper dishes, with various desserts on them. Waiters in uniform carried silver trays and slowly walked through the crowd, delivering champagne to guests who needed it.

Just like in the movies... Lu Mingfei was amazed and casually picked up a small paper plate containing macarons from the dessert table.

However, the center of the entire birthday party was on the west side of the courtyard, where a slightly disheveled young man was grilling chicken wings with his head down, surrounded by a group of girls chattering incessantly.

Chen Wenwen was among them, holding a collection of essays from the literary society. Unfortunately, there were too many girls surrounding the "barbecue master," and she couldn't squeeze in.

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth wide, like a gaping maw, and poured the mini macarons into it. While chewing, he turned to look at the barbecue chef.

After making this move, Lu Mingfei felt Xia Mi hug his arm even tighter.

Hmm, no, given Xia Mi's figure, Lu Mingfei might have sensed it, but it's also somewhat unlikely that Lu Mingfei sensed it.

As if sensing someone's gaze, the boy who was grilling chicken wings suddenly looked up.

It's... Chu Zihang!

The moment he saw Lu Mingfei, Chu's aloof, icy face suddenly came to life. The young master Chu, who had maintained a poker face since the birthday banquet, showed a change in expression for the first time.

But Lu Mingfei was even more astonished.

A blue planet, interconnected neural networks, a glowing brain, the mysteries of mathematics, the birth of the universe…

Like a bolt of lightning flashing across the clouds, many clues were connected, and an unexpected yet remarkably reasonable conjecture took shape in Lu Mingfei's mind.

He swallowed the dessert in his mouth and walked towards Chu Zihang. Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment, then shook off the women around him and went straight to meet him.

This scene is very similar to the famous scene in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3 where the protagonist Jotaro and the villain Dio approach each other, preparing to fight—if it weren't for Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, one busy wiping the powdered sugar off their mouths and the other holding a plate of roasted chicken wings.

As the two drew closer, just as Chu Zihang was about to reach the range of Lu Mingfei's barrage, a beautiful figure suddenly jumped out and squeezed between them.

"Senior brother, you can't leave your junior sister behind and run off to talk to other men!"

Xia Mi spread her arms and stood in front of Lu Mingfei, her big eyes blinking as she looked at him with a hint of stubbornness.

Jehovah added very quickly.

In fact, the plan to use Chu Zihang's body as a dwelling, to usurp the nest and parasitize it, wasn't really a big problem—the biggest threat to dragons was the group of dragon slayers, whose technology couldn't detect the cocoon inside Chu Zihang's body. Even if Chu Zihang's body gradually mutated under the influence of the dragon cocoon, it would only be seen as a precursor to becoming a Deadpool.

Of the billions of people in the world, no more than eight or nine could discover that a dragon king was sleeping inside Chu Zihang, and most of them had not yet truly awakened.

Jormungandr fell silent because of his bad luck.

Lu Mingfei stopped in his tracks, first looking at Chu Zihang, then at Xia Mi with her complicated expression, and couldn't help but sigh.

She deliberately approached Chu Zihang in order to test Xiaolongnu.

Now, Lu Mingfei has received the results.

Upon seeing Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei immediately compared his face to the boy in the family photo at Chu Tianjiao's hunter's cabin.

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang were not familiar with each other. Chu Zihang was a year ahead of him. The closest Lu Mingfei ever got to Chu Zihang was when he stood under the school's honor roll and looked up at the photo of this number one genius (in a good way) of Shilan Middle School.

Previously, in Chu Tianjiao's underground base, Lu Mingfei had seen the photos that Old Chu had secretly taken, but at that time, Chu was only in junior high school and looked like a teenager. In addition, the angle of the photos was not good and the distance was far. Lu Mingfei only felt that they looked strangely familiar and did not connect the junior high school student in the photos with the adult Chu Zihang at all.

Once Chu Zihang's identity was confirmed, Lu Mingfei finally understood why Xia Mi had appeared there.

Although Lu Mingfei doesn't have an omniscient perspective, it doesn't prevent him from deducing Xiaolongnu's true identity based on the existing clues.

He first met Xia Mi in the office building of Huanya Group.

As an investigator who had been lying low for many years, Chu Tianjiao's secret base was well hidden, but it seemed that this was not Xia Mi's first time here.

After meeting Lu Mingfei, she also said something:

"This is my father's (Chu Tianjiao's) grave, and also his (Chu Zihang's) path."

It was obvious that she knew Chu Zihang very well.

That night, Lu Mingfei used his "Destiny: Silence is Golden" ability to scare Xia Mi away. From Xia Mi's perspective, he should be a very dangerous person.

Lu Mingfei originally thought that he would no longer have any contact with Xia Mi, but since Wednesday's speech, he has had a vague feeling that he is being secretly watched.

At first, Lu Mingfei thought it was a misperception, but now he realizes it wasn't.

The person monitoring him should be Xia Mi; Xiaolongnu kept staring at him after he received the award.

Why did she do that?

Lu Mingfei believes it is very likely because of Chu Zihang.

Xia Mi viewed Lu Mingfei as a dangerous person, and since Chu Zihang happened to be in the same school as him, she worried that he might do something detrimental to Chu Zihang.

Then I thought back to the car accident I encountered this morning on my way to Chu Zihang's house.

This must also belong to Xia Miqian.

The goal was to slow down his journey, get to Chu Zihang's house first, and intercept him.

Xia Mi's actions confirmed Lu Mingfei's suspicions. She deliberately waited for him at the villa entrance and stopped him. Then, under the pretext of "taking advantage of the wealthy," she led him to the dessert area on the east side, all to keep him away from Chu Zihang.

Xia Mi is a pure-blooded dragon. In her mind, I am a powerful and dangerous guy. With her current strength, she is definitely no match for me.

So, who is Chu Zihang to her that she would be willing to risk her life, even sacrifice herself, to stop me?

Looking at Xia Mi, who was protecting him like a mother hen protecting her chicks, Lu Mingfei's eyes gleamed with a golden light.

Xia Mi thought she had hidden it well, but he had already seen through everything—

"Xia Mi, I won. Your true identity... is Chu Zihang's mother!"

At this moment, Lu Mingfei was confident and certain that only a great mother's love could make Xia Mi stubbornly stand up and protect Chu Zihang even when she knew she was no match for them!
