Perhaps it's heartbreak, perhaps it's being embarrassed in public, perhaps it's feeling lost and confused when you draw your sword and look around, then someone descends from the sky, wielding swords and spears, invincible and omnipotent, supporting you like a boss protecting his underling.

Then you'll be devoted to the person who helps you, following them for life, like a leech that you can't shake off no matter what you do." Nono looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes and said just as earnestly.

“My skill is profiling; I’m very good at judging people. Trust me,” Nono added.

"As I understand it, you're saying I'm lacking love. Perhaps so, but Miss Nono, you're too late."

I'm strong enough to get by on my own even without love, let alone with my family.

"Lu Lincheng and his wife? Or your aunt and uncle?"

“One is far away, and the other is in prison,” Lu Mingfei laughed. “My family isn’t there, and I’m afraid they’ll be exposed if I say it out loud.”

Nono pouted.

Lu Mingfei sized up Nuonuo. They hadn't met many times and spent much time together, but for some reason, they hit it off immediately and got along well in some ways.

Nono has a profile, and so does he.

Nono is like a book that is unpredictable and very difficult to understand.

Even without using profiling, Lu Mingfei could vaguely sense Nuonuo's true inner self and true nature beneath her seemingly cynical exterior.

The person who points out that the other person lacks love is either also lacking love, or has already had that lack fulfillment.

People only remember what is incomplete or lost, and tend to ignore what they already possess.

It seems that Nono is not filled with love.

With a little profiling, Lu Mingfei was able to glean a deep sense of unease from Nuonuo's words.

Nono's childhood must have been incomplete. People with complete and happy childhoods tend to have well-rounded personalities, unlike Nono who is so arrogant.

But what does all this have to do with Lu Mingfei?

Lu Mingfei came to Bronze City to steal coffins, not to woo girls.

Girls are nothing compared to stealing coffins.

Next, Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo enjoyed the breeze on the deck for a while. As night deepened, they returned to their cabins to rest.

On the other side, Old Tang tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

He seemed to be hallucinating; the echoes of souls that had lingered for a thousand years in the deep waters beneath the Moniach were keeping Old Tang awake.

"Brother, you've come."

But before he knew it, Old Tang drifted off to sleep and heard a boy's voice.

The next day, it was time to go into the water.

After changing into their diving suits, they jumped into the water and began to dive.

At a depth of about fifty meters underwater, many fragments of the ruined ancient city were discovered.

It has been confirmed that the Bronze City is located underwater at the Qutang Gorge.

And this requires a key.

The key was originally the Chen family's secret weapon, but with Jiang Wanzhi's blood, it became even more suitable.

Nono was quite relieved that she didn't have to see the faces of people she didn't want to see.

After doing this and that, they threw Jiang Wanzhi's blood into the mouth of the living spirit.

Then, the door opened.

Chapter 156 Nono's Abnormality

According to Lu Mingfei's plan, after he and Lao Tang entered Bronze City, they separated from the main force.

If I'm not mistaken, the flashing lights in Old Tang's mind should be the location of Constantine's urn.

They wanted to get there first and take the Dragon King's bone flask.

The plan was idealistic, but reality was harsh.

"Wow, Chovy, is this still China?" Lu Mingfei exclaimed, gazing at the bronze world with its constantly rotating gears.

Nono beside her reminded her, "We're still in China, but we got separated from the main group as soon as we entered Bronze City."

Lu Mingfei sighed: "Old Tang, where is my old Tang?"

Nono's expression changed, and she narrowed her eyes slightly: "Why do I feel like you're very unhappy that we're grouped together?"

“Miss Nono is joking. I have no complaints. Now that things have come to this, let’s try to find a way out.”

Although the Bronze City is buried underwater, its unique structure allows it to be connected by a series of passageways, and some parts of the city are not submerged in water.

Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo removed their oxygen masks to conserve oxygen. They had no idea how long they would have to stay in this godforsaken place.

Lu Mingfei took out a map from his backpack, which was hand-drawn by Lao Tang. Because Lao Tang was a unique artist, comparable to Picasso, the drawing was very abstract.

Originally, with Lao Tang around, this was just a precaution, but it was immediately put into use.

Nuonuo watched from the side, amazed at where Lu Mingfei got that childish, doodle-like map, guessing that the Zhou and Jiang families were indeed hiding something from the Chen family.

"What is this place with the heart drawn on it?" Nono pointed.

"I don't know," Lu Mingfei answered crisply.

"Hmm? Your lie is so flimsy."

"I don't know." Lu Mingfei shook his head.

Nuonuo was helpless; she couldn't win a fight, and she still had to rely on Lu Mingfei here, so she couldn't afford to turn against him.

Row.

"Where do we go next?" Nono asked gently.

Lu Mingfei got goosebumps all over. The way Nuonuo was held up gave him a terrifying feeling, like a female tyrannosaurus pretending to be cute.

The evaluation is... not as good as Teacher Duo Da Ye.

"Ahem, let's first figure out where we are," Lu Mingfei pondered. "Have you ever heard of Metroidvania games?"

"Now that you mention it, the map does look quite convincing," Nono said with a smile.

Lu Mingfei was surprised; he hadn't expected Nuonuo to know about Metroidvania games.

To put it simply, it can be summarized by a game: Hollow Knight.

The map style of Bronze City is very similar to that of this type of game.

In short, Lu Mingfei planned to figure out the location and then head to the site of the Constantine ossuary.

As expected, Lao Tang also went there, and they naturally met up.

As for Nono, it's best to knock her unconscious beforehand.

It's very convenient.

Nono suddenly felt a chill and looked around, worried that it was the ghost of the Bronze City that had echoed for thousands of years.

The two moved through a series of passageways, taking in the architectural style of the Bronze City, which was beyond human capabilities and filled with both human and alien civilizations.

For example, snake figurines dressed in Hanfu, and surviving ritual implements, etc.

It is said to have the shadow of human civilization, but in fact it is the opposite of what is meant by "heavenly spirits".

In mythology, Prometheus stole fire for mankind, and fire represents civilization. The earliest humans imitated and learned from the civilization of the dragons, which is why dragon and snake elements are ubiquitous in various places.

In this process, humanity gradually developed its own aesthetic culture.

Nono took out her waterproof camera and took pictures, saying she could exchange these photos for a large sum of money from Old Deng.

Let's tentatively price it at ten thousand US dollars per ticket.

Lu Mingfei thought this was no different from robbery.

"Nono, do you have another camera?" Lu Mingfei asked seriously. "We don't know when we'll be able to come to Bronze City again. Let's take as many photos of the interior of Bronze City as possible now so that dragon scholars can study them and help the development of civilization."

Nuonuo pouted. She believed Lu Mingfei's nonsense and decided to take his surname.

They happily continued taking pictures.

Nono seemed to be hallucinating: Ding, ten thousand dollars have been deposited... Ding, ten thousand dollars have been deposited...

Until a loud "boom" pulled Nono back to reality, she shuddered, covered her head with her hands, and crouched down: "What happened? Was there an enemy attack?"

“No, we’re just trapped.” Lu Mingfei looked at Nuonuo, who was crouching with her head in her hands, and scratched his cheek as he spoke.

Nono realized she had made a huge blunder. Her face flushed slightly as she coughed. She tried to explain that she was the strategist, and Lu Mingfei was the team's main damage dealer, so...

But Nono didn't say it out loud. Instead, she pretended to study it. She found four huge bronze walls and a very high ceiling. Apart from that, there was only a bronze snake figurine with its mouth open in the center.

"How did we get into such an obvious trap?" Nono asked, puzzled.

Lu Mingfei shrugged. "You go first."

"Gulp..." Nono felt embarrassed.

She felt that after entering the Bronze City, she not only lost her usual vigilance but also became much more relaxed and easily distracted.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Nono felt a chill run down her spine. This Bronze City was strange; mixed-race individuals were easily affected mentally when they entered it, and might even experience hallucinations!

Nono told Lu Mingfei about the problem she had discovered and asked if he was feeling unwell.

Lu Mingfei said uncertainly, "No, I don't think so. I feel like my mind and body are no different from usual."

Nono speculated: "Perhaps it's because your bloodline is high enough?"

Lu Mingfei nodded, flexed his wrists, and walked towards the wall.

"what are you up to?"

"Breaking the wall".

Lu Mingfei spoke succinctly, then slammed his fist into the metal wall. The loud thud echoed like a bell, especially since he and Nuonuo were inside.

Nuonuo covered her ears and screamed. She shouted to stop Lu Mingfei from hitting her. Before the wall broke, she had become deaf and her ears were bleeding.

Lu Mingfei withdrew his fist and looked at the metal wall in surprise, wondering what the metal wall was made of. Even if it was titanium alloy, it shouldn't have been able to withstand his punch.
