"I see, is that how it works?" The girl stood under the rain.

The rain falling from the dark clouds pattered on her shoulders, soaking her hair and clothes.

"A ritualistic barrier resembling an altar."

"I...we'll call 110."

"It's no use, the cell phone probably won't even have a signal," the man said helplessly.

It was truly unfortunate and beyond his expectations that he would encounter such a situation. If he had to find a reason, it would only be the briefcase in the trunk.

He shouldn't have brought that suitcase to pick up his son. Perhaps he was in a hurry, or perhaps he was eager to impress his son. This top executive of the secret service made the biggest mistake he should never have made.

The golden eyes that he was unwilling to look directly at, yet could see clearly in the rearview mirror, had already told him that his son had perfectly inherited his bloodline and had now activated it, beginning to show a kind of spiritual vision.

The black Maybach cut through the rain like a sharp blade and sped away into the distance. At their previous speed, they had already traveled nearly forty kilometers. They shouldn't be unable to see an exit ramp. Considering their current situation, the only possibility was that they had entered the legendary Nibelungen, the domain of those monarchs.

"Your considerations are correct, and your guesses are almost right. This is indeed a barrier-like area. Moreover, I need to tell you something: step on the brakes." A cold female voice suddenly rang out in the passenger seat, causing Chu Tianjiao to subconsciously draw his Divine Sword Murasame.

The speed of the knife was astonishing, even cleaving through the air and sound. Before the boy even realized what was happening, it was already at the girl's neck... no, it was stopped right in front of her neck. His arm was as if it were bound by silk threads, unable to move an inch. Yet even the finest steel bars would be infinitely twisted and deformed by his arm strength.

"What are you?" the man asked calmly, pressing the brake as she instructed until the car came to a slow stop. He didn't mind or fear fighting with this 'unknown' woman in the car, but his son was still in the back seat, and he had to consider that.

"What is it? That's an interesting question. Of course, it's a human. The name doesn't matter. Just use whatever you're used to. For example, Lu Mingfei?" Her bright golden eyes were so dazzling in the carriage, like the sun floating in the sky during the day. The halo around the center of her eyes also highlighted the girl's extraordinary nature.

In the rules of the Secret Party, the eternally burning golden eyes signify being out of control.

But Chu Tianjiao didn't think so. There are always exceptions to everything, and now the exception was right in front of him: those deep, golden eyes, like lava, like those of a legendary monarch.

But she showed no sign of being out of control; instead, she was as rational as a robot and had an inhuman quality, like the T-200 from the Terminator movies he and his son had watched.

He seriously doubted whether the person in front of him was truly human.

"Lu Mingfei!?" Chu Zihang exclaimed in surprise. He had only seen this face once before, the girl who was hiding in the teaching building to avoid the rain. She was an ordinary junior who was surprisingly eye-catching in his eyes, even though no one paid attention to her in the school.

His worldview collapsed for the second time. The last time was just over ten minutes ago when he witnessed monsters traveling at speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour. Now, his junior schoolmate was being held at knifepoint by his own father. What kind of development was this? He had never heard of it before. It was a thousand times more exciting than the gossip on those forums.

"Hello, Chu Zihang, it's been a long time, although that's not quite the right way to put it. It's only been a little over an hour since we last met." She smiled lightly, a smile with an inorganic quality, as if the muscles in her face were dancing, which looked surprisingly eerie.

And then there was his father's question. Although he didn't quite understand what was happening, he clearly heard what his father was asking.

What are you?

Could this girl be one of those monsters outside the car? Although she doesn't trust her father that much, it's obvious who she should trust in this situation. Her answer is also suspicious. Under what circumstances would she need to specifically emphasize that she is a human being and not something else?

Of course, this applies when one is not human. The less one is, the less one is, the more one will emphasize what one is. This is a very simple logical problem.

"Did you read my mind?"

Chu Tianjiao asked, he was certain that what he had just said was merely a figment of his imagination, but this woman had pointed it out to him one by one.

"It's just a very simple technology, nothing special. I was just curious about what cute little lamb had wandered into the giant beast's hunting grounds, so I came to take a look. Also, I'm quite interested in the technology itself." Her slender, fair fingers brushed aside the Murasame, opened the car door, and got out, leaving a puddle of water on the passenger seat. She raised an eyebrow slightly. "Look, it's right there."

Boom boom boom boom!!!

It was like a shooting star piercing the sky, a thunderbolt from the heavens, the infallible spear of Odin, the king of the Aesir gods, Gungnir. It had locked onto her heart from afar, and then was hurled by its master, bringing with it the blessing of certain strike and certain piercing.

hum! ! !

However, the God King's weapon also stopped in front of the girl, emitting a high-frequency low sound that made people's ears ring. Chu Zihang subconsciously covered his ears, and then Chu Tianjiao saw it clearly.

It was a barrier, a barrier like ripples on water, that spread out in front of Lu Mingfei, blocking all attacks for her. The blessing that would surely hit and surely penetrate was ineffective at this moment.

"Gungnir, the legendary meteor spear of Odin, the king of the gods. It's a pity this is a counterfeit." She commented on the spear like a storyteller, treating it like a toy from a fairy tale, as if its ferocious power was meaningless to her. "Where is the real one hidden?"

"To be able to identify the weapon's origin at a glance. What a terrifying person. Was the Secret Service's assessment of her truly accurate...?"

Chu Tianjiao had deep doubts. He felt he couldn't withstand the power of that shot, but in front of this girl who called herself Lu Mingfei, it was nothing more than a child playing around that could be ignored with a glance.

"And, a counterfeit... such attack power is just a counterfeit..."

"Are you scared? What a boring man, Odin. The Odin I know is not like this."

The god-king, hidden in the shadows, remained unmoved; the concepts of time and space were momentarily confused.

"Not planning to launch an attack?" She reached out and grabbed the divine spear, the divine weapon being molded into shape in her hands like rubber.

"I'm waiting for you to attack."
