Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei finds a Freylian

She surveyed the situation on the field.

Zhao Menghua (Liu Bei) has 1 health point and a pitifully small hand.

Gao Mi (Sima Yi) has 2 health points and a decent hand.

Luca (Lu Bu) has 2 health points, his hand is unknown, and he is eyeing the enemy.

"Professor" (Hua Tuo) has 3 health points and a lot of cards in his hand, but most of them are red cards and [Peach], which are used for first aid.

Deadpool Dealer (Zuo Ci) has 2 health points and his hand is unknown.

A resolute glint flashed in Wan Boqian's eyes as she discarded the [Zhuge Repeating Crossbow] from the equipment zone and activated "Heroine" to draw two cards.

Then, she equipped herself with the Stone Piercing Axe she had just found.

"Luca! Your madness should end!" With a sharp shout, she used [Kill] on Luca's Lu Bu.

Luca used [Dodge] to cancel it out.

However, Wan Boqian activates the effect of [Stone Piercing Axe], discarding two cards from her hand to force this [Kill] to deal damage.

Luca's stamina decreased by 1, becoming 1 point.

"You bitch!" Luca's eyes widened in fury!

But that wasn't all. Wan Boqian discarded another equipment card ([Horse]) and activated "Heroine" to draw two more cards, changing her hand like magic!

She played another [Kill] card, still targeting Luca.

Luca has no more [Flash], and his stamina has dropped to 0.

"No!!! My chips!!" Luca roared in despair and resentment. The last coin representing his stamina clattered and disappeared in front of him.

Almost at the same instant, the shadow came to life and entangled Luca.

The terror and madness on his face froze, and his body, as if erased by an eraser, quickly became transparent and finally disappeared completely from the seat without leaving any trace.

It was as if he had never existed.

The carriage was deathly silent.

Zhao Menghua and Gao Mi were drenched in cold sweat. Although Luca was an enemy, the shock of seeing a living person, even a madman, completely annihilated before their eyes in this way was indescribable.

Deadpool's red glow flickered, pleased to have eliminated one player, and he quickened the pace of his rubbing claws.

Wan Boqian was pale. Killing Luca was not her wish, but it was necessary for survival. She ended her turn.

With the deck exhausted, the game enters its final round.

The last chance to draw cards: each person draws a card from the bottom of the pile, where there are very few cards left.

It was Deadpool dealer (Zuo Ci)'s final turn, and he drew two cards.

The crimson light swept across the entire field, finally settling on Zhao Menghua, who had the lowest stamina and posed the least threat.

A card called "Southern Barbarian Invasion" was played.

In the endgame AOE, everyone must play a [Kill] card, otherwise they lose 1 health point!

Gao Mi (Sima Yi) played the [Kill] skill.

Wan Boqian (Sun Shangxiang) played the [Kill] skill.

"Professor" (Hua Tuo) played a [Kill] skill? He actually had a [Kill] skill! He played it!

Zhao Menghua (Liu Bei) didn't kill anyone! He didn't have a single kill, and his health is only 1 point!

"It's over," Zhao Menghua closed his eyes in despair.

Gao Mi shouted, "Genius! Change the verdict!"

He played a card, replacing the judgment of the "Kill" card that Zhao Menghua needed to play.

Although the invasion of the Southern Barbarians does not require judgment, Sima Yi's genius skill description can be changed. Gao Mi used the alchemy tools given by the academy as a price to forcibly interfere with the Nibelungen rules' instant judgment of the action of "playing [Kill]", and forcibly regarded it as Zhao Menghua playing [Kill].

Gao Mi let out a muffled groan, her face instantly turning deathly pale.

Deadpool dealer's red light suddenly shot towards Gao Mi, extremely dissatisfied with his forceful intervention, but according to the rules, Zhao Menghua did indeed play the "Kill" move.

The effect of the "Southern Barbarian Invasion" has ended; no one was injured.

Deadpool dealer was truly enraged and played a "Duel" card directly at Gao Mi.

Gao Mi only has 2 points of health left. Although she still has cards in her hand, she doesn't have many "Kill" cards.

After several rounds of fighting, Gao Mi's [Kill] skill was exhausted, and her stamina decreased by 1 point.

But Deadpool wasn't done yet; he immediately played a regular "Kill" card on Gao Mi.

Gao Mi has run out of [Flash] and her stamina is about to drop to 0.

Wan Boqian exclaimed: "Gao Mi!"

At the last moment, the sleepwalking "Professor" (Hua Tuo) once again had a flash of inspiration and instinctively activated "first aid," playing a red card as a [Peach] to use against Gao Mi.

Gao Mi's stamina recovered to 1 point, and she survived again by sheer luck.

Deadpool's attack was neutralized once again, and he was also at his limit, running out of cards and finally ending his turn.

The final round is over.

The game has been forcibly terminated.

幸存者：赵孟华（刘备1体力）、高幂（司马懿1体力）、万博倩（孙尚香2体力）、“教授”（华佗3体力）、死侍荷官（左慈2体力）。

The Deadpool dealer remained silent for a moment, then proceeded to settle the score. Then, he flicked his claws.

The number of coins representing physical strength in front of Zhao Menghua, Gao Mi, Wan Boqian, and the "professor" changed instantly.

According to the rules, part of their lost energy (chips) was returned, and part was deducted as "rake". In the end, each of them actually won a small amount of chips.

Zhao Menghua stared at the twelve dark coins that had appeared before him, feeling as if he had been reborn. He had survived, and even won two coins.

Gao Mi and Wan Boqian each had 1-2 more chips. The "Professor" had 3 more chips.

In front of Deadpool, the dealer had an extra pile of chips, which were taken from the loser Luca, as well as the game's "rake".

It swept the chips with its claws, making a soft clinking sound. Then, it glided silently away again, retreating into the shadows of the carriage connection, reverting to its cold, sculpted appearance.

It was as if the thrilling, life-or-death card game we had just played was nothing but a dream.

But Luca's disappearance from his seat, and the extra, cold, heavy chips in everyone's pockets, silently tell the cruel truth: Luca is dead.

Zhao Menghua slumped in the chair, his whole body drenched in cold sweat, and he was still trembling slightly uncontrollably.

He never wants to play the game "Three Kingdoms Kill" again in his life.

Chapter 175 Xia Mi Two Years Ago

There is no wind, no natural light, only eternal, deathly darkness, and the occasional faint tremors from the depths of the tunnel, like the heartbeat of the earth.

A glimmer of light pierced the eternal darkness.

A slender figure, carrying an old-fashioned kerosene lamp, walked lightly across the sleepers of an abandoned subway tunnel. Her movements were so familiar and deft, as if she were walking in her own living room, not in this forgotten underground labyrinth.

Xia Mi, or rather, Jormungandr.

The flickering lights illuminated the enormous, unimaginably vast cavern at the end of the tunnel. The cavern's dome soared high, with countless cold stalagmites hanging down. In the center of the cavern lay a colossal creature, beyond description.

Its body stretched like a mountain range, covered in thick, dark blue scales as solid as rock slabs, the gaps between which shimmered with a dark red luster like lava. Its limbs were as thick as temple pillars, its sharp claws deeply embedded in the rocky ground. A long tail lazily coiled at its side, its tip gently sweeping, leaving deep scratches on the hard rock face.

This is Fenrir, the king of the earth and mountains, the "Strength" of the twins, and also her brother.

However, in stark contrast to this terrifying and majestic dragon body was its enormous head.

It rested its head on its front paws, its huge, molten gold eyes wide open, but not burning with violence and majesty, but filled with childlike innocence and curiosity.

Fenrir tilted his head, watching the light approaching from afar, and let out a low, sobbing sound, like rocks grinding together, yet strangely tinged with joy.

“Brother.” Xia Mi walked to Fenrir’s enormous head and placed the kerosene lamp on a boulder beside it.

Her figure appeared as insignificant as dust before Fenrir, yet her tone was so natural and intimate.

"Sister, sister," Fenrir's voice was deep and rumbling, his speech slow and his words somewhat unclear, like a child who had just learned to speak.

It tried to move its head a little closer to Xia Mi, but this simple movement caused the entire cave to tremble slightly, and gravel fell down in a flurry. Its hindquarters, its strong, mountain-like body, were bound by invisible shackles, making it difficult to move.

A barely perceptible pang of heartache flashed in Xia Mi's eyes. She reached out and gently stroked the cold, rough scales on Fenrir's nose with tenderness.

"Was your brother good today?" she asked, as if coaxing a child.

"Good girl." Fenrir blinked his huge eyes, his molten gold pupils reflecting his little sister's small figure. "...What's...it...like...outside...today?"

Its problem is always this one.

Day after day, year after year. Fenrir was trapped in absolute darkness, filled with the simplest of curiosity about the world outside, a world he could easily destroy with a turn of his head, yet which he had never truly seen.

Xia Mi smiled, sat down next to Fenrir's huge nose, and began to tell her story in a soft voice, as usual.

“The weather outside is lovely today. The sun is warm and cozy, and the sky is blue, a very pale and clean blue, like, like the color of your favorite glass candy wrapper,” she said in a light voice, describing a scene that Fenrir could never witness.

"The clouds are white, in clusters, sometimes like little lambs, sometimes like cotton candy. When the wind blows, it tickles your face and rustles the leaves."

Fenrir listened intently, letting out a satisfied snort that made the rock beneath Xia Mi's bottom tremble slightly.

“I went to school today,” Xia Mi continued, her tone carrying a hint of everyday complaint, like a real high school girl tired of school. “Chemistry class was so hard, all those equations made my head spin. But PE class was pretty fun.”

She paused, as if suddenly remembering something special, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, her smile carrying a hint of slyness.

"Brother, let me tell you something. There's a really weird guy at our school."

Fenrir uttered a questioning syllable: "Hmm?"

“His name is Chu Zihang.” Xia Mi swung her legs, her eyes fixed on the cold stalagmites on the cave ceiling, as if she could see through the rock layers and see the boy who always had a blank expression.

“I saw him when I was in elementary school, at the Children’s Palace. While the other boys were running around and playing, he was sitting alone in the corner reading a thick book that was not appropriate for his age. He was sitting up straight, like a little old man. I thought to myself, ‘Wow, this guy is so boring.’”

"Later in junior high, I unexpectedly ended up in the same school as him again. He was still the same, a loner, with shockingly good grades, the kind of student teachers loved. One time it was raining, and I didn't have an umbrella. I saw him walking by with a black umbrella, and wow, he looked pretty handsome from behind, so I thought I'd run over and use his umbrella. But guess what?" Xia Mi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "He didn't even notice me at all, and just walked away without looking at me! Rain splashed all over my skirt! I was so angry!"

Fenrir listened with a mixture of understanding and confusion, but it could sense a different emotion in its sister's tone, so it gently nuzzled her with the tip of its nose.

"And then it's now, in high school, and I'm in the same class as him again!" Xia Mi shrugged, making a "I'm speechless" expression. "He's still so dense! All he does is practice swordsmanship, read books, and do homework. When people talk to him, he never replies with more than three words. He's as expressionless as a block of marble!"

“But then again,” her voice lowered, carrying a gentleness that Xia Mi herself might not have even noticed, “he’s actually not entirely cold-hearted. Once I saw him feeding the stray cats in the school’s backyard; although his face was still expressionless, his movements were very gentle. Another time, a girl in our class was being bullied by older students, and he stepped in to protect her without saying a word. Although he didn’t say much in the end, he scared those people away.”

“Brother, how can there be such a person in the world?” Xia Mi turned her head and looked at Fenrir’s huge, bewildered eyes, as if asking it, or perhaps asking herself, “He clearly doesn’t think that way, but he insists on putting on an unapproachable act. Like a lonely fool.”
