Dragon Raja: Oh no! Lu Mingfei has been diagnosed with depression!

In the hospital, a young nurse dozed off behind a computer screen, her face reflected in the pale light. The corridor was quiet, filled with a cold and desolate atmosphere, and footsteps approached from afar.

Lu Mingfei carefully bypassed the nurses' station. He stopped in front of his ward, remained silent for a few minutes, then returned to the nurses' station, slipped behind the nurse into the storage room, and pulled out a steel pipe.

He gripped the steel pipe, walked through the corridor, and stood in front of the door again, looking inside through the square glass window.

The ward was pitch black, but Xiaotiannv was very loyal. She not only covered all of Lu Mingfei's hospital fees, but also moved him to a private room.

The nurses and doctors all knew that this kid had gotten incredibly lucky and was favored by Miss Su, so they rarely came to this ward to bother him except for necessary rounds.

The psychologist, on the other hand, seemed to be bewitched, coming to talk to Lu Mingfei every now and then. It was called a heart-to-heart talk, but it was more like a debate.

The psychologist was on the affirmative side of the debate, insisting that violence cannot solve problems, while Lu Mingfei was on the negative side, arguing that it was because the violence was not enough.

But it's already past midnight, and the psychologist is probably lying in a warm bed dreaming. They probably wouldn't suddenly have the idea to go to the hospital in the middle of the night to talk to a patient with depression.

He stood quietly in front of the door, holding a steel pipe in one hand and gripping the handle with the other.

The next moment, Lu Mingfei suddenly pushed open the door, and without even looking, swung the steel pipe in his hand and smashed it down. The speed was so fast that the door and the steel pipe emitted a violent whistling sound at the same time.

"We don't probably have that much of a grudge between us, do we?"

The shadowy figure in the darkness sighed, took the steel pipe, and the light in the ward was turned on. Lu Mingze stood by the door, staring at Lu Mingfei with a resentful expression.

"Now I believe the medical record that doctor wrote. Brother, you really are sick, and quite seriously so. Who keeps driving a Kamaitachi like that all the time?"

"Because it works very well."

Lu Mingfei said expressionlessly.

Lu Mingze was taken aback by this simple reason. Just because it's useful, does that mean you have to keep using it? But the Kamaitachi's Word of Power amplifies all surrounding sounds to the extreme. The moment the domain is activated, even the slightest breath will be magnified into a deafening roar.

Imagine a death rock band living in your head, dancing around 24/7, singing songs set to your eulogy, each strum of their guitar feeling like they're trying to snap all your nerves.

It was in this environment that Lu Mingfei heard the noise from Lu Mingze inside the ward while standing outside the door. That's why he came back with his weapon and opened the door with the intention of smashing Lu Mingze's head.

"Brother, can't you be a little reasonable when you're going crazy? I even provided you with weapons tonight, otherwise even if you used the Kamaitachi the best, you wouldn't have been able to cut those people's swords with your bare hands."

Lu Mingze sighed and sat down on the stool beside the bed. "It breaks my heart to see you like this!"

He looked like he was about to cry, clutching his heart in an exaggerated gesture as if he were having a heart attack.

"I'm not crazy."

Lu Mingfei emphasized, "Weren't those other people you recruited?"

Lu Mingze was stunned for a moment, then his expression became even more exaggerated, and he waved his hand:

"If you're determined to find fault, you'll always find a reason! Brother, why would you think that? There are many people in this world who want to kill us, but I'm the only one on your side. I've practically ripped my heart out for you to see! And yet you suspect that I hired the hunter?"

"Because I rejected your deal the night before, it's perfectly reasonable for you to have someone kill me, and besides..."

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, "A normal person wouldn't hide in someone else's room in the middle of the night without turning on the lights and behind the door."

"I was just trying to play a joke on you, like jumping out and scaring you when you came in."

Lu Mingze was a little embarrassed and shrugged. "You see, I'm just a kid. Kids always like to play pranks."

Lu Mingfei didn't speak, he just looked at him silently.

"Brother, aren't you even a little bit curious about who wants you dead?"

As it turns out, even the devil can't tolerate emotional abuse; the silence in the ward lasted only a few minutes before Lu Mingze broke it.

"curious."

"Then do you want to...?"

"don't want."

Lu Mingfei refused decisively, not even giving Lu Mingze a chance to finish speaking.

Lu Mingze's face twitched slightly:

"Brother, can you tell me why? With your personality, if you knew someone wanted to kill you, shouldn't you have tried to drag those guys out of the shadows and kill them?"

"You know me very well?"

"That's why I'm asking, because I don't understand."

Lu Mingze shook his head. "Brother, you've given me so many surprises, so many that it's making me a little scared. I'm not sure what you'll become."

"Does even the devil feel fear?"

"Even the devil has fear. In this world, only those high and mighty gods are fearless. I'm glad that I still have the feeling of fear, otherwise I would have become one of those boring creatures like the gods."

Lu Mingze said, "It's not shameful for a younger brother to be afraid of his older brother. I read a survey on family relationships where researchers said that younger siblings often fear their older brothers and sisters. They call this phenomenon 'bloodline suppression,' meaning the natural awe and fear brought about by blood ties. The more afraid they are, the closer their blood relationship is."

"Don't worry, brother. Even devils are fair. This can be considered a kind of deal. You help me answer my questions, and I'll provide you with a service... Of course, the scope of the service is determined by me. I know a great Japanese swordsmanship master. It's said that his sword is so fast that it can cut through time... My men have business dealings with him. I can send you to Japan to study swordsmanship with him for a while."

Lu Mingfei was finally moved. The truth of the world had been revealed to him, and the world was not as safe as he had imagined.

He hadn't received any professional training. If his physical condition had been better, he might not have had so much trouble facing those hunters tonight; he could have simply cut down whatever was in front of him with his knife.

"It's actually quite simple. You just said there are many people in this world who want me dead, right?"

Lu Mingze nodded.

"If you really wanted to kill someone, but couldn't do it yourself, so you hired someone else to do it for you, only to find that the person you sent out was killed instead, what would you do?"

"I'll get very angry, and then I'll send out even more people."

"What if all the people we send out get killed in the process?"

"...I will personally intervene."

Lu Mingze paused for a moment, then slowly said that he understood what Lu Mingfei meant.

"That's the reason. Since they want to kill me so badly, they will be restless as long as I don't die. One day, they will have no one else to send and will have to stand in front of me themselves."

Lu Mingfei said casually, "So I don't need to know who wants to kill me. I just need to kill all his men and force him to come forward."
