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

When Genji woke up again, he was lying in the family hospital, opposite Tachibana Masamune sitting by the window looking through the documents in his hand.

"You're awake, Chisei."

Tachibana Masamune put down the documents in his hand, rubbed his temples, and went over to help Genji Chisei sit up.

How did I get here?

Yuan Zhisheng touched the back of his neck in a daze. In the last part of his memory, he saw Lu Mingfei's blade sever his head. Could it be that his family's medical technology had advanced to the level shown in science fiction movies? That they could reattach a severed head?

"The Inuyama family head saw you and Lu Mingfei make eye contact and then you collapsed on the ground in the surveillance footage, so he brought you to the hospital."

Tachibana Masamune handed a glass of water to Genjiro. "The doctor said you fainted because you were mentally exhausted... Can you tell me what happened?"

Genjiro was stunned for a moment, completely bewildered:

"Lu Mingfei and I were sparring at the kendo dojo when we got into an argument. He broke through the gravity field of the royal authority and cut off my head..."

"After you entered the kendo dojo, the Inuyama family head was worried about you being alone with Lu Mingfei, so he sat in the monitoring room watching you after he left. He copied the video. You didn't spar at all during the whole process, and you didn't even draw your swords."

Tachibana Masamune sighed, "You two just stared at each other for a few minutes. In the video, you seemed to see something unbelievable, your whole body was trembling, and then you passed out. If you hadn't been breathing when the Inuyama family head arrived, the entire family might have had to be mobilized by now."

"Dad, are you saying I'm hallucinating?"

"The situation may be more complicated than that."

Tachibana Masamune handed the documents in his hand to Genjiro, "Take a look at this."

The information records a Word of Power, which has not been tested in any way and only has a name and a guessed effect.

Words of Power: Dream Eater.

The name originates from Japanese mythology, referring to a yokai that eats dreams. Historically, the dream-eating yokai was often used as a form of illusion. The power of words named after it is similar to illusion, but even more domineering.

The Dream Eater is a dangerous Word of Power, because if someone truly believes they died in a nightmare, their consciousness will truly perish, and they will become a cold corpse in reality.

Yuan Zhisheng undoubtedly believed he was dead. He had no idea he was in a dream, so when the knife fell, he truly believed that Lu Mingfei had killed him.

Yuan Zhisheng put down the documents and remained silent for a long time.

"You may be the first person in history to die in a Baku's nightmare and then come back to life."

Tachibana Masamune sighed, "So we can only speculate that it's because of Your Majesty's bloodline that this Word of Power might not be able to kill a higher-ranking hybrid through dreams alone."

"I feel like something's not right."

Yuan Zhisheng shook his head. "Could it be that Lu Mingfei deliberately terminated this Word of Power?"

"People who are dreaming can't wake up on their own."

Masamune Tachibana said, "This word of power cannot be actively dispelled; it only ends with the death of one party, which is why it is called the most dangerous word of power..."

"But in fact, I died in the dream, while my physical body is still alive in reality."

Yuan Zhisheng had already accepted that the moment he and Lu Mingfei locked eyes, he was pulled into the nightmare of the Dream Eater. After all, compared to being able to withstand a hundred times the gravity and walk up to him and still swing his sword, it seemed more normal to just accidentally be hit by a Word of Power.

"After all, it's just a hypothetical Word of Power, and no one knows its true effect. In short, Zhi Mingfei is clearly not the harmless little rabbit we thought he was."

Tachibana Masamune let out a sigh of relief. "When he gets angry, he's more terrifying than a ferocious beast like a lion. You two had an argument in your dream, right? What was it about?"

"He wants to take Erii out to play."

"Yuan Zhisheng said in a low voice."

This time it was Tachibana Masamune's turn to be silent. He hadn't expected that the reason for the argument between Genjiro and Lu Mingfei was simply because Lu Mingfei wanted to take a poor girl out to play.

"Then let Erii go out and have fun with him for a while. Arrange for two medical teams to accompany them and prepare the serum."

Tachibana Masamune sighed, "Anyway, Lu Mingfei won't be staying in Japan for long. Since he has the ability to protect Erii, let Erii live a normal life for a while."

"I'm worried Erii will lose control..."

"At the very least, Erii's loss of control is just a probabilistic event, and we can use other means to minimize that probability. But if we try to stop her again, Lu Mingfei might really go crazy."

Tachibana Masamune said quietly, "I've read Sakura's report. Half of the people killed by Lu Mingfei last night were mixed-race... In other words, if Lu Mingfei wants to go on a killing spree in Tokyo, only you and the Inuyama family head can stop him."

"Heavy weapons might be able to harm him, but he is in the heart of Tokyo, and we cannot gamble with the lives of ordinary citizens."

Genjiro remained silent, listening quietly to Tachibana Masamune speak, his hand unconsciously touching the skin on the back of his neck.

"You're really going too far, brother!"

His phone vibrated incessantly, messages from Lu Mingze flooding in one after another. Lu Mingfei could practically picture the boy's furious expression through the screen.

"Is that how you use a Baku? Damn it! If you want to kill Genji, just let him die! Why save him?"

"He's still useful."

"Damn it! I've never seen anyone as crazy as you! Do you even know how dangerous the Baku is?"

"Is it dangerous? I just think it's a bit unintelligent; it can't even be deactivated manually."

"This curse can only be dispelled by the death of one party! That's why I said you're a madman! If you want to kill Genjiro, then let him die!"

"I told you he's still useful."

Lu Mingfei was getting impatient and couldn't understand why Lu Mingze's emotions were so intense.

"So you killed yourself at the last moment, trying to break the Baku's dream, right?"

Lu Mingze was on the verge of a mental breakdown. "If someone truly believes they died in a nightmare, their consciousness will disappear, and they'll die in reality too! Everyone else tries their best to survive, but you, in order to break free from the power of words, actually committed suicide!"

This was something that even Yuan Zhisheng himself hadn't realized. Lu Mingfei, wielding two swords, ultimately only used one to behead him, because the other sword was stuck in Lu Mingfei's heart.

Before Yuan Zhisheng was on the verge of death, Lu Mingfei took the initiative to twist the knife on his heart, shattering the entire heart. The dream woven by the Dream Eater was also dispelled as the releaser withdrew.

This was probably Lu Mingfei's first failure since being discharged from the hospital, because both times he used the Dream Eater last night, the dream collapsed and the attempt ended. He never expected that this Word of Power would have such strict conditions.

"Just don't believe it."

Lu Mingfei answered confidently.

"You're not just saying you don't believe me!"

Lu Mingze instantly understood Lu Mingfei's thoughts:

"You're a madman who even uses his own death as a means to an end!"
