Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei finds a Freylian

"Young Master, the carriage is ready." Sakura appeared silently behind him, holding up a pure black umbrella.

She was dressed in a simple gray suit, looking like an ordinary business secretary, except for the dagger faintly visible at her waist that hinted at something unusual.

Yuan Zhisheng nodded, his gaze sweeping over the few scattered passengers on the platform.

Xinzhuang Station was almost deserted at 5 a.m., which was why he chose to arrive at this time; fewer witnesses meant less trouble.

Outside the station, there was an inconspicuous white van with the words "Kanto Electric Power" printed in blue on its body.

The crow was leaning against the car door smoking when it saw Yuan Zhisheng approaching. It immediately stubbed out its cigarette and stood up straight.

"How is the situation?" Yuan Zhisheng asked, opening the car door.

“Yaksha has already set up an observation post near the target’s residence.” Crow climbed into the driver’s seat and started the car. “The target didn’t go out last night, but the neighbors reported hearing strange noises.”

The van drove out of Xinzhuang Station and headed southeast along the county road.

Yuan Zhisheng opened the folder on his seat, which contained information about the objectives of this mission.

Kentaro Kobayashi, 38 years old, is a local from Xinzhuang City and runs a small music classroom.

On the surface, he is an ordinary rural music teacher, but in reality, he is the illegitimate son of a peripheral member of the Snake Clan, and his blood is unstable dragon blood.

"Bloodline assessment report?" Yuan Zhisheng turned to the third page.

“Last week’s tests showed he was approaching the critical threshold of 45%,” Sakura said, sitting in the passenger seat. “According to the surveillance footage, he has started to show signs of Deadpool-like behavior over the past three days.”

Yuan Zhisheng closed the folder.

This has far exceeded the safety threshold. According to the rules of the Snake Clan, anything exceeding 40% must be dealt with immediately, otherwise they may be degenerated into Dead Servants at any time.

He gazed out the window at the fleeting scenery; in the distance, the mountains were shrouded in rain and mist, like lurking giants.

How much time do we have?

“At most 48 hours.” Raven turned the steering wheel, and the car turned onto a country road. “His bloodline purity is very high. Once it exceeds 50%, he may directly become Deadpool.”

The car stopped in front of a two-story house. This place was nominally a temporary work station of Kanto Electric Power, but in reality, it was the secret stronghold of the Sheqi Eight Families in Shinjo City.

Yaksha walked out of the garage, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his face contorted in a menacing scar.

“Young Master, we have obtained the floor plan of the target residence and the surrounding terrain.” Yaksha handed Genji a tablet computer. “The music classroom is on the back street, and the residence is on the front street, separated by a small park. He will be teaching in the classroom from three to six o’clock every afternoon and will go home promptly at seven o’clock in the evening.”

Genji took the tablet, which displayed Kobayashi Kentaro's daily route map and house layout diagram.

As an experienced executor, he immediately identified three optimal ambush points.

"Have you arranged the disguise?"

“It’s all arranged.” Sakura took out four Kanto Electric Power work permits from her bag. “This morning at nine o’clock, we will enter the target residential area under the pretext of checking the circuit safety.”

Genji nodded and began assigning tasks: "Crow is responsible for monitoring the surrounding area to ensure no unauthorized personnel approach. Yaksha will set up jamming devices in the park to prevent the target from escaping. Sakura and I will conduct on-site reconnaissance at the residence. Do not make any rash moves before confirming the target's status."

The three of them agreed in unison.

Yuan Zhisheng glanced at his watch; it was 7:30. There was still an hour and a half before the operation began, enough time for them to make their final preparations.

At 8:45 a.m., the four men, disguised as power workers, split into two groups and set off.

Genjiro and Sakura pushed a cart equipped with testing equipment along the alley toward the target residence.

The spring sunshine finally pierced through the clouds and shone on the damp asphalt road, causing a light mist to rise.

“The target residence is just around the corner,” Sakura whispered, adjusting the miniature communicator hidden in her ear. “Crow is in position, and Yaksha is installing equipment in the park.”

Yuan Zhisheng nodded and deliberately slowed his pace.

As the young master of the Snake Clan, he had carried out dozens of similar elimination missions, but each one made him feel the same heavy burden.

Killing out-of-control hybrids is necessary, but they are ultimately compatriots with similar bloodlines.

Kentaro Kobayashi's house is a typical Japanese detached house. The small garden in front of the house is well-maintained, and several faded shirts are hanging on the clothesline.

Genji noticed a violin case on the shoe cabinet by the door. According to the information, the target was a top student at the University of Tokyo who dropped out at the age of twenty for unknown reasons and returned to his hometown.

“Let’s begin,” Genjiro pressed the doorbell.

A few minutes later, a tall, thin man opened the door.

Kentaro Kobayashi looked even more haggard than in the photos; his sunken eyes and pale skin indicated that he had been sleeping poorly lately.

Yuan Zhisheng noticed that the other person unconsciously squinted in the sunlight, a sign that the pupils were beginning to change.

"Hello, we are safety inspectors from Kanto Electric Power Company." Sakura smiled professionally and showed her work badge. "We received reports from residents that the voltage in this area is unstable, so we are here for a routine inspection."

Kobayashi hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside. "Please come in, but I'm preparing my lesson materials right now."

"It won't take up too much of your time," Yuan Zhisheng said, pushing the testing cart into the entrance hall while discreetly observing the layout of the room.

The living room walls were covered with concert posters and photos, and a piano occupied a corner with several handwritten sheet music scattered on its lid.

Sakura skillfully turned on the testing equipment and began checking the living room's electrical circuits.

Using the excuse of checking the kitchen wiring, Genji walked deeper into the house.

The kitchen window faces the music classroom on the back street.

Genji pretended to check the socket, but his gaze swept over the knives on the cutting board. The blades of two of the kitchen knives were deformed, as if they had been melted by extremely high temperatures.

There was a calendar on the refrigerator door, and next to today's date was a strange symbol drawn in red pen that looked like ancient dragon script.

"Sir, have you noticed anything unusual with any of the appliances lately? For example, sudden power outages or unstable voltage?" Sakura asked loudly from the living room. This was a pre-arranged signal that she had noticed something.

Genji quickly took a picture of the calendar and the deformed knife on the refrigerator with his phone, then returned to the living room.

Sakura stood beside the piano, her fingers casually brushing across the keys. Several strings were broken, the ends jagged and unnatural, as if they had been bitten off by something sharp.

"The inspection is complete, everything is fine," Sakura said to Kobayashi. "However, we still need to check the music classroom on your back street. Could you please take us there?"

Kobayashi suddenly became alert. "Music room? Why? There are only a few lights and a CD player there."

“This is standard procedure,” Yuan Zhisheng said calmly, quietly adjusting his position to block the stairs leading to the second floor. “The entire block’s electrical circuits need to be checked.”

The atmosphere became tense, but then Kobayashi's phone rang.

Chapter 123 Genjiro (Part 2)

He glanced at the screen, his expression changing drastically. "Excuse me, I need to take this call."

After saying that, he quickly walked towards the kitchen.

Genji gave Sakura a wink, and the latter immediately moved closer to the kitchen doorway, pretending to organize the testing equipment.

Although Kobayashi lowered his voice, his mixed-race hearing was still able to catch a few words.

“My Lord, I can’t wait any longer. The ceremony must be completed tonight. Yes, I heard 'His' voice.”

After hanging up the phone, Xiaolin returned to the living room, and her demeanor was noticeably different.

His eyes gleamed with an eerie gold, his fingers twitched involuntarily, and his nails seemed to have grown longer than before.

"Sorry, I suddenly remembered I have something urgent to attend to," Kobayashi said curtly. "Let's postpone the music room inspection for another day."

Genji knew he couldn't wait any longer. The target's transformation into a Deadpool was happening far faster than expected; that phone call might be a hypnotic spell.

He pretended to agree to leave, but suddenly turned around at the entrance and struck Kobayashi on the back of the neck with a chop to the neck.

Unexpectedly, the target did not immediately lose consciousness like an ordinary person, but instead let out an inhuman roar and turned to pounce.

"Step back!" Genjiro pushed Sakura aside and drew Dojigiri Yasutsuna from his waist.

Kobayashi's hands had transformed into terrifying claws, with bluish-gray scales emerging from beneath his skin. His jawbone protruded forward, making a clicking sound.

"Alert! The target has entered the second phase ahead of schedule!" Sakura shouted into the communicator, pulling a pistol loaded with special bullets from her inner suit pocket.

Kobayashi, or rather, the monster that is turning into a Deadpool, smashes through the living room window and escapes into the yard.

Without hesitation, Genjiro chased after him, and at the same time heard a crow cawing in his earpiece: "Towards the park! He's going to the music room!"

Genji jumped over the fence and saw the twisted figure moving across the small park at an astonishing speed.

Yaksha leaped out of the bushes, attempting to intercept with a specially made net gun, but was torn apart by Kobayashi, who had transformed into Deadpool, with a single claw.

"Don't let him enter the densely populated area!" Yuan Zhisheng sped up his pursuit, pondering a countermeasure.

The original plan was to resolve the matter secretly at Kobayashi's house, but the situation has now completely spiraled out of control.

The music classroom is located in the backstreet commercial area, where some shops have already opened for business at this time.

Just then, Sakura's voice came through the communicator: "Young Master, there's no one in the music room! It's a local holiday today, and all the shops won't open until the afternoon!"

This is an opportunity.

Genji immediately changed tactics, "Yaksha, activate Plan B! Force him into the music room! Crow, block off the surrounding streets!"

Yaksha took out several small devices from his backpack and threw them to the ground. The devices emitted piercing high-frequency sound waves after landing.

The running monster immediately covered its ears in pain and changed direction.

Just as Genji predicted, hearing is a sensitive point in the early stages of Dead Samurai transformation.

High-frequency sound waves drove Kobayashi to flee towards the music classroom.

When Genji rushed into the music classroom, he was met with a nightmarish scene.

Xiaolin's body has swelled to twice its original size, his back is bulging, and his spine has pierced through the skin to form bone spurs.

He smashed the musical instruments in the classroom in a frenzy, as if those beautiful instruments were something abhorrent.

"Sakura, sound system!" Genji shouted.

Sakura quickly ran to the control panel and turned on the classroom's sound system.

This was discovered during their prior investigation: Kentaro Kobayashi's music classroom was equipped with a professional sound system, sufficient for hosting small concerts.

The first note burst forth from the super-powerful speaker, and the monster, which was turning into a Deadpool, let out a heart-wrenching howl.

Yuan Zhisheng chose a special combination of frequencies specifically designed for the auditory nerves of mixed-race individuals.

Kobayashi knelt on the ground, a pained expression on his scale-covered face.

"I'm sorry," Genji said softly, raising Dojigiri Yasutsuna.

The blade gleamed coldly in the dimly lit classroom, like ice under the moonlight.

The monster suddenly looked up, a glint of clarity flashing in its golden pupils.
