Dragon Tribe: Still Thinking Until Now

"There's filet mignon with rich onion soup, pan-fried cod with smoked Moscow sausage, and thick-cut salmon with nori sushi."

"Then please help me get a filet steak. I'll have a Coke, but forget about the onion soup." Lu Mingfei wrinkled his nose. He used to hang out with Ling, and he had eaten a lot of Russian signature dishes, but he was a little uncomfortable with the red sausage. However, he thought that these airplane meals should be pre-prepared foods. The so-called red sausage is just smoked Northeast ham and repackaged.

As for the thick-cut salmon, Lu Mingfei thought about it and decided to forget it. He had eaten so-called thick-cut salmon on another flight before, but it turned out to be rainbow trout, and the taste was really not that good.

The Coke and fillet steak were quickly delivered to Lu Mingfei. At this time, the news that the leaders of the three major clubs in the college would be studying in Japan for six months in the next semester had spread throughout the Night Watchman Forum.

Qilan tactfully expressed her concern for Lu Mingfei in the message, and expressed her belief that as the only S-level Lu Mingfei in the academy, he would be able to escape from Japan unscathed. Pierre from the Cadmus family excitedly asked Lu Mingfei if he could temporarily replace the position of the president of the Dragon Blood Society and experience the feeling of being a leader if he lost contact in Japan.

Although he didn't know what the situation was like with Caesar and Chu Zihang, he thought it shouldn't be much better than his own. Lu Mingfei smiled silently and closed his notebook.

The Japanese branch does not have a very good reputation among the students and specialists at the Kassel College headquarters, and it can even be said to be extremely bad. In a sense, the relationship between the Snake Eight Families and the college is more similar to the relationship between China's mixed-race society and the secret party. They are actually two equal organizations, but they are more inclined to cooperation and win-win.

Moreover, most Japanese people believe in the culture of Yakuza. They respect the strong but despise the weak. In the past, most of the specialists sent by the academy would suffer personal insults and discrimination in Japan, and eventually suffer serious psychological trauma. Some people even completed their mission and left Japan for more than half a year, and would subconsciously bow deeply to others when they quarreled or were scolded.

In short, in the eyes of the members of various clubs in the college, Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang and Caesar going to Japan are likely to be in danger. Of course, many people also think that this study group can calmly deal with the threat posed by the Japanese branch. After all, any of these three people is capable of leading an era in Kassel College, but they just happened to be enrolled at the same time, which is why Lu Mingfei severely suppressed Caesar and Chu Zihang.

However, Lu Mingfei was someone who knew the inside story. He thought that Yuan Zhisheng and Inuyama Kanoya from the Japanese branch were extremely wary of their study group. After all, they were well-known figures in the entire mixed-blood world. Others did not know the value of Lu Mingfei, the dragon-slaying hero, but Yuan Zhisheng knew it better than anyone else.

In the previous time and space, Yuan Zhisheng chose to give a warning to the action team led by Caesar, and let the principal's private plane Sleipnir land on a long-abandoned saline runway in the World War II aircraft graveyard, warning the action team with contempt for the lives of both sides that Japan is not a place where they can act recklessly. I don't know who will come to greet me this time, and whether they will want to intimidate me, the imperial envoy who came all the way from the headquarters of Kassel College, like in the previous time and space.

But it didn't matter. He had no intention of getting along peacefully with the Japanese branch this time. They were not friends to begin with, so why bother pretending to be brothers and sisters? In the end, they would still have to chop each other with knives, and it would all depend on whose knife was sharper.

"From the sound of Miss Xun's accent, she doesn't sound like a Kyoto native." Lu Mingfei adjusted his appearance in the reflection of the window glass.

"Mr. Lu can actually tell that... I actually grew up in Kochi Prefecture, Shikoku Island. My father opened a fishing shop by the sea. When I was a child, I often came into contact with guests from Kyoto, so I should not have much of an accent." Xun was indeed a little amazed at Lu Mingfei's sharpness. She had worked here for several years, and even those serious Japanese people could rarely tell that her accent was not from Kyoto.

"Some of your words are pronounced more like ancient Japanese. I am relatively sensitive to language and writing, so I can hear the subtle differences." Lu Mingfei pointed to his ears. "I have a friend from Kyoto. He is a chatterbox. I can often hear Kyoto locals talking."

The friend in Tokyo that he was talking about was naturally Crow. Although he started out as a gangster, he later became a big shot after following Yuan Zhisheng. He was one of the few Japanese who was qualified to get close to Lu Mingfei and the others.

"Mr. Lu, are you going to Japan to visit that friend?" Xun asked cautiously.

Lu Mingfei hesitated, not knowing how to answer. The purpose of his trip to Japan was indeed to look forward to a friend, but that friend was seen by others as a mute.

Eri's dragon bloodline is very unstable. The word spirit she possesses is the Judgment that Lu Mingfei used after he merged 50% of his power with the help of the little devil. It is a word spirit that issues a death order to all things. Her bloodline is so strong that every word she utters is regarded as chanting dragon text, so when Eri talks to people, it is equivalent to issuing a death order to that person.

“If it’s inconvenient…” Xun was indeed a girl who was very good at observing people’s expressions. She probably saw Lu Mingfei’s hesitation, so she immediately found a way out for the young man.

"No, it's not inconvenient." Lu Mingfei waved his hand. "Miss Xun, have you heard of Genji Heavy Industries? It's the building in the most prosperous area of ​​Shinjuku District. The family of another friend of mine is in charge of that building, but her family keeps a close watch on her, so it's hard for my friend to have the opportunity to go out and play. And because of her family's genetics, she doesn't have the ability to communicate with people through language. I went to Japan this time just to see that friend, to see if she's doing well, and to see if she's been wronged at home."

As a flight attendant who often stays at Tokyo's Narita Airport, Ayanokouji Fumio certainly knows that building, which is quite famous even in the whole of Japan. It is the undisputed throne of Shinjuku District. The fifth and sixth floors are even used as the foundation for building an elevated highway, which shows how stable it is.

"Mr. Lu is really young and promising. He actually became friends with such a person." Xun's eyes were full of longing. Then she said hesitantly, "But I heard from my colleagues in the group that the people who work there are all gangsters..."

"It is indeed a gang, but this kind of association is not legal in Japan." Lu Mingfei shrugged. He remembered his reaction when he heard that the Japanese branch was actually a gang organization, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

Nowadays, even all the underworld godfathers in the world combined can't make Lu Mingfei panic, but there is also a lot of novelty on this road, probably because walking the road he has traveled before will only make him sentimental.

“In fact, in Japan, ordinary people like us still avoid dealing with gangsters.” Xun chuckled, but she didn’t seem nervous because Lu Mingfei had a friend in the gang. “Of course, the gangs rarely bother people like me.”

The Japanese underworld is indeed a very peculiar organization. Unlike the underworld in other parts of the world, the underworld here has always abided by the rules of a huge force in the shadows from ancient times to the present. That force is the current Kassel Academy's partner in Japan, the Snake Hachika.

Like the Genji Heavy Industries that Lu Mingfei and Ayanokouji Kaoru just mentioned, that building is actually the asset of the top three of the Snakesaki Eight Families, and the Genji Family holds the largest share. From the information provided by Norma, the host of the super artificial intelligence Kaguya-sama independently developed by the Snakesaki Eight Families is hidden in the computer room of Genji Heavy Industries. It is not only the center for dispatching the entire Snakesaki Eight Families' manpower, but also stores the information of almost all the underworld gangs in Japan. The vast majority of recognized underworld members are registered here, and those who are not registered are considered to be sinners who do not follow the rules of the underworld supreme Snakesaki Eight Families. They will not be accepted by any gang, nor can they collect protection fees anywhere. Those who dare to engage in business that has already been divided into their respective shares must be prepared to have their fingers chopped off.

Regarding the underworld, Lu Mingfei and Ayanokouji Kaoru really didn't have much to talk about in common, so Lu Mingfei smiled and stopped talking. They met by chance, and although Miss Kaoru was indeed a rare queen-like beauty, Lu Mingfei was not Caesar or Finger after all. The former was an Italian nobleman who grew up with the idea of ​​a stallion, flirting with people and making people sad for him, while the latter was a pure sex-hungry ghost. Although he especially liked Kim Kardashian, he was not unable to accept a tall Japanese girl like Ayanokouji Kaoru.

Lu Mingfei didn't have much rest along the way. He had to deal with emails from all directions and reply in time. He had to ignore the greetings and blessings from his brothers in the college, but he had to attend the online after-class assessments of the professors on time. In addition, there was the machine gun-like information bombardment from Finger. Just to borrow some money to tide over the difficulties, Lu Mingfei transferred him two thousand US dollars, but he didn't plan to ask this loser brother to pay it back.

In fact, these are not the most important. The most important things are Xia Mi and the senior sister. After they sent Lu Mingfei to Tianji International Airport, they took Constantine back to BJ and entered Nibelungen to accompany Fenrir. The junior sister seemed to be worried about her wife whose philandering husband was fooling around outside, and she sent messages every five minutes to warn Lu Mingfei not to hook up with the beautiful girl on the plane.

The attitude of the senior sister really made Lu Mingfei feel a little nervous. She mainly asked about his well-being and told him not to do anything reckless after arriving in Japan and to take care of his health. Lu Mingfei felt for a moment that he was a bit like the poor scholar who said goodbye to his wife and went to Beijing to take the imperial examinations. The newlywed wife was eagerly looking forward to her husband's return home, and before leaving, she deliberately told him not to be restrained after arriving in Beijing and to focus on his health.

At this time, the text message column was quiet. After asking, I found out that the plane was preparing to land, and it was normal to have poor signal.

Lu Mingfei asked Miss Xun to turn off the ceiling light, and the cabin immediately became dark.

But the plane began to shake a little, which meant it was descending and had even lowered below the clouds.

Lu Mingfei pulled open the window shade, and the rain cut through the night sky at an angle, hitting the window with a rustling sound. Tokyo in the rain was a blurry expanse of bright lights. Even on the plane, one could not see the end at a glance. The lights were connected to each other, swaying dimly in the rain, like mountains and seas, reminding people of an ancient city called Chang'an, and also of the Buddhist shrines in Chang'an that had been worshipped by the empress and had lights on for a long time.

Not far below is Disneyland. The huge Ferris wheel is still rotating slowly on the rainy day. Flashing lights of different colors are lit on the Ferris wheel, bringing some warmth to the people who look up in this chilly Tokyo.

Lu Mingfei sighed deeply. He recalled a scene from a movie, "Before Sunrise", "Jessi and Seline boarded the famous Vienna Ferris Wheel and kissed for the first time in the cabin". This scene flashed back in his mind, but it made him feel quite emotional.

President Lu is no longer the loser who had never held a girl's hand. He has ridden the Ferris wheel many times, and there have been many girls who have accompanied him on the Ferris wheel, but there are probably only two people who leave the deepest impression on him.

One was Xia Mi. It was her first time to ride a Ferris wheel. She went with Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang. The weather was very good that day. They went a little late. It was dusk when the Ferris wheel reached the highest point. The three of them looked towards the sunset, their eyes were bright as if they were about to burn. In such a sunset, Xia Mi approached Lu Mingfei carefully. The girl's breathing gradually became a little unsteady, and there was a faint fragrance. Lu Mingfei didn't think anything of it at the time. Thinking back now, in fact, his junior sister had hinted to him many times before, and even Chu Zihang, who only had fighting and killing in his mind, had noticed it.

The other is Eri, the Ferris wheel that is slowly spinning in the rainy night in Tokyo.

In the elevator, whose interior color she could no longer remember, Eri held up a small card with a pencil saying "Sakurua, can we take a photo here?" It was the first time Eri asked Lu Mingfei to take a photo with her. I wonder how much courage the girl, who was wary of everyone, mustered to make such a request. She probably had rarely felt the feeling of her heart beating faster in her short life. But Lu Mingfei refused her.

After so many years, Lu Mingfei has actually forgotten many details of that time, and even the farewell that had appeared in his dreams many times has become a little vague. He just still remembers the Tokyo Sky Tree that suddenly lit up when he and the little monster caught a glimpse in the bathroom of the love hotel, and he also remembers watching Ultraman Tiga together in that small pink room. Sometimes, the theme song of the special drama floats in from somewhere, like the wind blowing from the end of the sea of ​​​​sky, and he can hum a few lines of the tune even though he has actually forgotten the lyrics.

Human memory is like this, many details are forgotten, but there are always some illusory things that can come out from the depths inadvertently, just like when you remember a person, you are not actually remembering the beauty of that person. To this day, if it weren't for the fact that he often saw Nuonuo's face that was almost the same as hers, Lu Mingfei was actually not sure that he still remembered what Eri looked like, but when he walked on the streets of Tokyo and saw the road they walked on, the haunted house in Disney, the fortune-telling monk in Sensoji Temple, and the girl who COS the Edo period shrine maiden, he would still remember that there was a somewhat silly person beside him who silly wrote on paper with a pen Sakurua I want to eat five-eye fried rice and tonkotsu ramen.

Lu Mingfei curled up and hugged himself tightly. He was indeed a little sleepy during the bumpy landing, so he closed his eyes.

But I don't know why my nose felt sore. I still remember their farewell. I forgot what song was playing, but Lu Mingfei put one earphone in Eiry's ear and the other in his own ear. They didn't speak for several minutes while the song was playing, as if they all knew that this was the end of this grand escape.

The sea breeze was cool that day. Eri carefully leaned on Lu Mingfei's shoulder. She looked silently at the quiet sea level under the setting sun. The Ferris wheel that seemed to be spinning in the wind cast a huge shadow on the sea of ​​trees.

That day, Lu Mingfei looked at her profile carefully for the first time and was actually a little nervous. It was a long time before he knew why he was nervous, because on that day in Meijin Temple Town, Lu Mingfei realized a fact. It turned out that she was not a little monster, but a very beautiful girl.

The tiredness accumulated along the way was finally released at this moment, and Lu Mingfei really fell asleep during the rocking landing.

-----------------

In the mist and rain, a series of lights slowly opened their arms towards the sky blue civil aviation flight.

The terminal at Narita Airport was abuzz with the cries of children and the curses of men on this night that should have been as peaceful as usual. Dozens of men in black suits broke in, standing shoulder to shoulder to form a steel wall, blocking all exits. Guests were not allowed to leave or enter. Someone called the police, but the police said that the police force was stretched thin today, and the tourists and citizens trapped at Narita Airport needed to be patient and wait.

The black Lexus slowly slid into the waiting passage in front of the airport gate. The people blocked at the gate looked at each other in bewilderment, because more men in suits suddenly held up countless large black umbrellas, surrounding the car like a cluster of black dahlias.

A woman with a charming figure and a slender waist wearing a black tights trotted to the position behind the driver's seat, carefully opened the door for the person inside, and placed one hand on the door frame.

The crowd looked in that direction, wondering what kind of person deserved to be treated like this by the underworld gang.

Under the cascading rain, people's eyes narrowed slightly as if they were illuminated by the sun.

A bright, wine-rich red flashed through the gaps in the umbrella, and the white skirt bloomed under this red, like a flower field in full bloom.

Then the red was completely covered by the umbrellas, leaving only the dreamlike wind and rain. Deep in the sound of the wind and rain was the roar of the engine of a Boeing 747 landing.

Chapter 152 Uesugi Eriyi

Miss Xun actually accompanied Lu Mingfei all the way to the hall. When saying goodbye, this pretty tall Japanese girl looked quite happy.

Sometimes when he saw her, for some reason Lu Mingfei would suddenly think of Makoto Aso, but after many years, he had almost forgotten the girl who saved money to go to college. He only remembered that it rained heavily that day, and that Caesar's pride was shattered that day. Later, they tacitly did not mention this matter, just like Lu Mingfei never mentioned Xia Mi in front of Chu Zihang, and Chu Zihang never mentioned Eri in front of Lu Mingfei.

"Mr. Lu is indeed a very important customer. The company has assigned me a temporary task to send you to a girl named Sakura Yabuki." Xun was probably not that old, and her skin was still as fair as a girl's. After she changed into a short skirt, a T-shirt, and put on a baseball cap, her youth and vitality immediately came to her face.

The airline had no rules or precedents for flight attendants to accompany passengers after the flight landed. Lu Mingfei dragged the silver suitcase in his hand with a polite smile on his face, "Your company is really humane."

"I was a little surprised, too. When I first joined the company, I thought it was a small, unknown American company. But after checking online, I found out that it has close cooperation with almost all airlines. It is a rare hidden leader in the industry." Miss Xun said with a smile. She was also dragging a small suitcase, which contained some of Lu Mingfei's carry-on luggage.

"Hmm...which airline is it?" Lu Mingfei was a little surprised. Norma helped him book his ticket, and the ticket stub did not show the company.

"Hermes." Miss Xun said.

Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched, thinking, it's Hermes again, no wonder the treatment he received on this trip seemed to be something that you can't enjoy on a civilian airliner, no wonder he even asked the flight attendant to bring out the luggage. No wonder he was the only passenger in the first class cabin.

Damn it, the influence of the academy is really omnipresent.

"Ms. Xun, have you ever considered..." Lu Mingfei hesitated for a while before finally sighing.

"Have you ever considered changing jobs?"

Hermes Airlines is the property of the academy, and most of its employees are probably real mixed-bloods. It is hard to guarantee that nothing will happen to a harmless girl like Ayanokouji Kaoru who spends all day in the Dragon's Nest.

"Actually..." Xun weighed her words, pursed her lips and chuckled, "Although I don't know why you said that, Mr. Lu, I do want to change my career. If I work as a flight attendant, my time is a bit tight. My father and mother are urging me to find a boyfriend."

In fact, the academy rarely invites ordinary people without bloodline to join any of its industries. Perhaps it is because it does not have enough manpower.

"If you leave here, what are you going to do next?"

"My father used to be a manager at Narita Airport. Although he is no longer here, he still has some prestige. He said he could arrange a job for me at the airport, probably something like passport control upon entry." Xun said cautiously.

"Japan's economy has been sluggish in recent years, so it's important to find a suitable job," Lu Mingfei said. He wasn't trying to strike up a conversation, nor was he interested in flirting, but he just happened to be able to be a companion on this journey and give some good advice.

He is nineteen years old this year, and he is not old enough to have experienced all kinds of life in the world, but Boss Lu had a period of success in the past. At that time, he was the chairman of the Kassel Student Union, the crown prince of the college, the dragon of the executive department, the illegitimate son of the principal... With so many titles added up, even Caesar would be ashamed of himself.

In the year after returning from Tokyo, he attended countless balls hosted by important figures. At the balls, he witnessed the romance and passion of French girls, the enthusiasm and boldness of Spanish girls, the melancholy and elegance of British girls. Beautiful girls of all kinds from all over the world circled around Mr. Lu, but he never had any lustful thoughts. Now he is no longer at the age where he can't walk when he sees a beautiful girl.

After going through some things, it is really difficult to fall in love again.

"If you are not used to Narita Airport, Ms. Xun, you might as well try your luck at Genji Heavy Industries in a while. You can call me then and I will ask my friends to help you find a leisurely but well-paid job in Kyoto."

"Mr. Lu is a very nice person." Ayanokouji Fumio said with a smile.

"Oh, nothing. Miss Xun, you look a bit like a friend of mine. She is also from Japan." Lu Mingfei smiled and tightened the shoulder straps of his backpack. He obviously realized that the atmosphere at the airport was a bit strange. "She is a very gentle girl. She is very tall. She is saving money to go to college. She has a grandmother at home."

"Friends?"

"Yes, come to think of it, the first time we met was in a comic book store. There were two gangs outside preparing for a fight, and the officers of Genji Heavy Industries held a knife between them, so dozens of men stood in the rain and dared not move." Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "Miss Xun probably doesn't know Abelul. My friend who looks a bit like you later fell in love with an Italian nobleman who bought an Abelul figurine from that store. The nobleman is also my friend."

"It sounds like a story about Cinderella and the prince." Ayanokouji Kaoru pushed back the hair at her temples so that Lu Mingfei could see that she was indeed a very pretty girl. Although she could not be compared with the little dragons in the school, she was indeed first-rate among the Japanese.

"What happened to them afterwards?"

Lu Mingfei lowered his eyelids, then raised them again, and at this time his emotions seemed to be very high.

"What else can he do? The young man went back to Italy and traveled around the world with his fiancée, and my friend saved enough money to go to college and study abroad," he said.

He didn't tell the truth, because a happy family ending has never been the mainstream. If there is someone who really treats the world as a book to write down the torrent of fate, then this person must be an out-and-out demon.

Beautiful things cannot be kept, but mistakes as heavy as a mountain and hatred as raging as a raging fire are eternal.

"What? I thought it would be a fairy tale ending." Miss Xun didn't look very satisfied. Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, touched the backpack on his back, but didn't say anything else. The world of ordinary people is originally gentler than that of mixed-bloods.

After that, neither of them spoke much, but just walked forward side by side quietly. It was just a chance encounter in the first place, and they just took some time out to breathe in the loneliness.

Lu Mingfei soon saw the men in suits who drove the guests in the waiting hall to the corner. Each of them was burly with his hands on his waist, and his eyes were so sharp that it seemed as if they wanted to kill everyone who passed by their sight.

Ayanokouji Kaoru obviously had not expected such a situation. She turned pale with fright and pulled Lu Mingfei's wrist to retreat, while anxiously searching for her cell phone in her pocket to call the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

But she didn't expect that this man who looked not strong and even a little thin actually had such tremendous power in his body. Caught off guard, she not only failed to pull Lu Mingfei away, but she staggered and almost fell.

Lu Mingfei patted the panicked Gao Mei beside him and shook his head gently. He said, "It's okay, Miss Xun, just stay here. Those people are here to pick me up."

"Isn't this your first time in Japan?" Xun suddenly asked.

“No way, this should be the second time. But the last time I didn’t enter through Narita Airport. I took a private plane.” Lu Mingfei scratched his head and said.

"We've left our contact information. If you need any help in Tokyo, you can call me."
