Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

Chapter 96 Erii

Genji Heavy Industries in Tokyo, Japan, is located in the deepest part of the building.

A girl with long, dark red hair sat alone in a spacious, enclosed room, one wall of which was a huge one-way floor mirror.

No, it's a one-way floor-to-ceiling window that lets in light from all directions. She can clearly see the spire of Tokyo Tower glowing in the twilight while sitting inside, but people outside can't see anything inside.

The walls were covered with curled anime posters, from old ones of Giants of Light to newly released popular anime series, completely obscuring the cold, hard cement walls. Yet, this vibrant anime atmosphere couldn't suppress the lingering coldness in the room. Several medical monitoring devices flashing green lights stood in the four corners of the room, and dark cameras were hidden in the corners of the ceiling. Despite the spaciousness of the room, it was shrouded in a suffocating sense of oppression.

The girl was intently staring at the large LCD screen in the center of the room, her hand holding a controller and pressing buttons incessantly. Her fingers moved nimbly across the screen, which displayed the open grasslands of Teyvat. The character she was controlling was following behind the character with the ID "KamiSama". The girl was afraid of losing him and dared not relax for even a moment.

As for why a girl can play Genshin Impact on PC on PS, don't ask such a clueless question. The answer is that Lu Mingfei added Honkai energy, and Honkai energy is omnipotent.

Just then, the heavy alloy door suddenly clicked open, breaking the silence in the room that had been filled only with the soft clicks of buttons. Startled, Erii Uesugi paused for half a second, her hand gripping the controller, and turned to look at the doorway—where she saw a man with sharp, upright features, dressed in a black trench coat, walk in.

The moment she saw the person approaching, the girl's eyes lit up, and a joyful expression appeared on her face. However, she didn't stop what she was doing; she still gripped the controller tightly, and her peripheral vision never left the screen, as if she was afraid of losing sight of the person leading the way.

Only when Yuan Zhisheng walked to stand next to her sofa did she free one hand to grab the notebook she always carried on the sofa armrest, scribbled a few words, and handed it to the man. The man reached out and took it, and saw that the beige pages were neatly written: "Brother, you've come."

;

The man is Genjiro, the head of the Japanese branch of Kassel College, the head of the Genji clan, the recognized young master of the Snake Clan, and a super hybrid bloodline bearing the imperial blood of Amaterasu.

The beautiful girl with dark red hair in front of the screen is his only younger sister, Uesugi Erii. Because of the secret shrouded in royal blood, she has been confined to this airtight room for many years, and even speaking has become a luxury.

Genjiro's gaze swept across the screen, noticing that his younger sister's attention was mostly glued to the game, and he couldn't help but sigh softly. He couldn't pinpoint when it started, but Erii had become increasingly addicted to this game called Genshin Impact. While she used to enjoy playing game consoles, at least she wouldn't be as perfunctory as she was now, barely even bothering to greet him when he came in.

But he couldn't bring himself to say a harsh word. Over the years, he had always felt guilty about Erii's situation. As the head of the executive bureau, he was busy handling branch affairs every day and couldn't even spare the time to spend with her. Thinking about this, seeing her completely immersed in the game, he felt a strange sense of relief—at least she could have her own happiness in this virtual world.

Genji didn't speak, but just sat quietly next to Erii, watching her control her character to travel through the mountains and fields of Teyvat, traveling carefree like any ordinary girl. He watched her with her head down, chatting back and forth with her game friends on the other side of the screen, her fingertips marking names in the notebook, and a faint smile on her lips.

A long time passed until a message popped up on the screen that the other person was going offline. Erii reluctantly typed her goodbye and finally spared half of her attention for her brother sitting next to her.

She grabbed the notebook, her pen flying across the page, then, barely able to contain her excitement, handed the finished notebook to Genji: "Brother, Kami-sama said he's coming to play with me in three days!"

Every time Yuan Zhisheng saw this game ID, his eye twitched. The Romanized version of the ID translated into Japanese was "God-sama". He wondered which delusional kid came up with such a name. But then he thought that there were all sorts of strange IDs online. Compared to those weird usernames, this one was actually quite normal.

As for the other party saying they were coming to find Erii, he didn't take it to heart at all. Even if this person named KamiSama really got the address, he would definitely be scared off when he saw the name Genji Heavy Industries and knew what it meant.

Even if he dared to come over, the security guards and executioners at the main gate wouldn't let him in, let alone let him come to the core area to find Erii.

However, he couldn't say what he was thinking. Genji simply patted Erii's head and said, "I'm so happy that Erii has made friends."

Erii paused, pen in hand, then lowered her head and slowly wrote in her notebook: "Brother, could you please use less electricity in the future?"

Yuan Zhisheng frowned: "Hmm? Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" He really couldn't understand why his sister would make such a strange request.

"If we use too much electricity, Balzeb will have a hard time." Erii's handwriting was neat and tidy, and when she looked up at him, her clear eyes were full of seriousness.

"Who is Barzebub?" Genji was even more confused.

"It's our Japanese Raijin (the god of thunder)." The girl remained serious.

"Huh? Erii, what nonsense are you talking about? Even the thunder god in Japanese mythology doesn't have this name. And I remember this name belongs to one of the seventy-two demons in Solomon's mythology, right?" Genji was completely dumbfounded.

"But that's what it says in Genshin Impact."

Upon seeing the words "Genshin Impact," Genjiro felt a sudden pang in his heart, realizing that letting Erii continue playing the game might have been a mistake.

But then he remembered that Erii had always firmly believed that Ultraman was real, and this matter didn't seem much different from that one. Once he explained it to his sister properly, everything should be fine.

Genji softened his voice and instructed, word by word, "Eri, listen to this: Balzebub is just a fictional character created in the game; he doesn't actually exist. Don't say things like that again, understand?"

"I understand." Erii lowered her eyes, a look of disappointment slowly spreading across her face. But then she suddenly remembered something and picked up her pen again to write: "Brother, Kami-sama said he can heal me and let me speak again. Then everyone won't get hurt anymore, right?"

"Eri." Upon seeing this, Genji's expression instantly turned serious. "Don't trust strangers. He doesn't understand your situation at all; how could he possibly cure you? I'll find a way to help you. I will do my best to get you back to normal!"

"But Kami-sama isn't an outsider—" Erii gripped her pen, about to continue writing, when Genji interrupted her sharply, "Eri!"

The stern voice startled Erii, causing her pen to pause and stop on the paper. She looked up at Genjiro with a somewhat aggrieved expression. Genjiro then realized that he had been too agitated and could only soften his tone to quickly end the conversation: "It's getting late, Erii, you should go to sleep. Staying up late is bad for your health."

After saying that, he practically fled the room, closing the heavy alloy door behind him. The spacious, enclosed room was soon left with only Erii, staring blankly at the now-cold screen and the walls covered with anime posters.
