Dragon Tribe: Still Thinking Until Now

With the help of the ghosts in the wind, Caesar could even hear the sounds of the smallest and most sophisticated machines, such as the friction of the tapes in the recording devices hidden in the cracks.

Ten minutes later, the two looked at each other again and shook their heads together.

"It's safe here." Chu Zihang said.

Caesar nodded, and they also sat around the coffee table, then looked at Lu Mingfei who was sitting on the sofa.

"Hey, brothers, do you have to look so serious? What's going on? Did the principal die? Or has things changed at Kassel Academy? Or have all branches around the world rebelled? Have the Dragon Kings collectively revived?" Lu Mingfei's eyes twitched. Seeing these two with such serious expressions, he felt a little uneasy.

Norma only sent Lu Mingfei a screenshot of the flight ticket from Tianjin International Airport to Narita Airport through email, and vaguely mentioned the academic training task arranged by the college for him, but did not specify the purpose of their coming to Japan, nor did he give a reasonable arrangement. Lu Mingfei did not find it strange, after all, the mission location this time was in Japan, and the Snakesaki Eight Clan itself was only a cooperative relationship with the college, and even had its own super artificial intelligence Kaguya.

Kaguya's computing ability is difficult to match Norma's, but she has the power to compete with Norma in Japan. It is hard to say that this power will not extend beyond Japan. After all, Lu Mingfei is the most popular S-level student in Kassel Academy in recent times. The Snakesaki family may secretly monitor him.

Compared to sending the task information to Lu Mingfei via email, the academy obviously prefers to let Caesar and Chu Zihang convey it directly.

"The principal is not dead, and the academy has not shown any signs of change, although I think the vice-principal seems to be looking forward to this." Caesar said, as if he was choosing his words, "The rebellion of the branch has only happened a few times since the establishment of Kassel Academy. As for the revival of the Dragon King... it can't be said to be impossible."

Lu Mingfei didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

"When the Equipment Department was conducting a simulated attack mission on Kaguya through Norma, they broke into the core database of the Snakesaki Hachika and took away a document from it." Chu Zihang said, he looked at Caesar, and Caesar nodded at him, "Then the Academy conducted underwater operations in the Japan Trench based on the information in this document. They used sonar to scan the bottom of the trench and found the heartbeat of a certain embryo."

Lu Mingfei's pupils shrank slightly. He looked at Chu Zihang and then at Caesar.

"Are you sure it's a heartbeat? Not some other sound, like an undersea earthquake," he said.

Of course Lu Mingfei knew what that thing was, and of course he had to show a shocked expression. But half of his shock was not fake. According to the development of time, Takamagahara should not have been discovered this year.

"Yes, the expert group has repeatedly confirmed that it is definitely some kind of large creature. You have to know that the depth of the Japan Trench is more than eight kilometers. The large creature that can survive at that depth is definitely not a shark or a giant whale. They also determined that the heartbeat frequency of that creature has the characteristics of a reptile." Chu Zihang said, "In other words, there may be a god hiding there."

"A god still in the incubation stage," said Caesar.

A strong wind blew outside the window, and the whistling sound was like the howling of ghosts. The three people looked at each other and felt that the country had become weird.

"Then..." Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, then asked, "The mission given to us by the academy is to dive eight kilometers into the deep sea to kill the god that is still in its incubation stage, right? Then what weapons did they give us? Refined sulfur depth charges? Or GUB57A earth-penetrating missiles?"

"Unfortunately, there is none." Chu Zihang said seriously.

"But there is good news." Caesar said. At this time, a waiter knocked on the door and said, "Hello, distinguished guest, we have brought the pork bone ramen and fried tempura you ordered." He stood up and went to the door to bring in the tray. He and Chu Zihang shared the plate of fried tempura, pushed the ramen in front of Lu Mingfei, and tasted the miso soup. "Normally, I don't like Japanese flavors."

Lu Mingfei took a sip of the ramen soup with fried garlic and let out a satisfied groan.

"What's the good news?" he asked.

"The Equipment Department is going to provide us with a nuclear bomb and drop it to destroy it directly," Caesar said.

"That makes sense." Lu Mingfei nodded. He thought it should have been done a long time ago. Wasn't it the overload explosion of the nuclear power cabin of the Deliaste that destroyed Takama-ga-hara last time?

"But unfortunately, this plan was rejected by the principal and the board of directors, because this level of underwater explosion is almost 100% likely to cause large-scale plate landslides, especially since the foundation of this country is originally unstable. There is no doubt that the four islands of Japan will slide into the trench." Caesar shrugged. "The vice-president argued that Japan will sink sooner or later anyway, so it is better to sink sooner rather than later, so just blow it up and let it be buried with an ancient dragon, but it was still rejected by them."

“This is insane, and it’s in line with the usual style of the Equipment Department and the Vice-President. However, a plan that was not passed is not good news, right?” Lu Mingfei lamented that there really had not been any changes in the Equipment Department, but he still expressed his doubts.

Chu Zihang tapped the table with his index finger. "Then the school board came up with another plan... Use a submersible to fish that thing out, so that the school can get a real living body of a god as a sample."

"This is not good news..."

"No, it's good news, because the equipment department means to use underwater robots directly for the operation. The vice president can replicate a small alchemical matrix similar to the core of Kassel Academy, which can amplify the effect of the Word Spirit. Electrical signals cannot penetrate the embryo's field, but the power of the Word Spirit 'Snake' can. The Equipment Department is already developing robots that can accept the commands of the 'Snake', and they will arrive in Japan with the next batch of trainees. In other words, we don't have to face the danger directly." Chu Zihang explained.

Lu Mingfei showed an approving expression on his face, "The masters of the academy have finally done a good thing."

In previous similar incidents, the school board obviously preferred to directly use the executive department's specialists to carry out the diving mission. However, this time, they went against their norm and even started to develop robots that could accept instructions from spiritual words, which was a bit unexpected for Lu Mingfei.

But he didn't know why he always had a bad feeling.

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

Genji Heavy Industries, Xingshen Temple.

This is the 30th floor, almost the highest point of the building. Hidden in a corner of the entire floor is an inconspicuous terrace.

The vermilion torii gates and granite walls are carved with various Shinto gods and demons, including Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Susanoo, and those ferocious demons. The gods and demons are all evil, with green faces, fangs, and bone spurs. The gods are also in a state between life and death, half of them are beautiful men and women, and half are rotten meat with maggots. The freehand wind and clouds surround these demons and demons, which makes people shudder.

The clear flowing spring is surrounded by mountains and waters composed of white rocks and green grass, exuding an atmosphere of Zen.

The night wind brought a drizzle of rain and a slight chill, making the copper bells jingle everywhere. Yuan Zhisheng knelt beside a circular Tai Chi pattern made of black and white stone tables. There were cans of beer on the tables. The rain probably wouldn't stop. After the fireworks show, the misty drizzle would cover the city again. So looking down from here, Tokyo was as hazy as the candlelight in a lantern shrouded in fog.

The lights were off on the entire floor behind the Awakening Temple. That was where the elders of the family usually handled affairs. They were too old to stay up late, nor did they need to work overtime like the young people, so generally no one would stay there at this time.

Crow stood behind Yuan Zhisheng and held up a black umbrella for him. The dripping rain fell on the umbrella and shattered into pieces, as if a layer of fog had formed on the umbrella.

Yuan Zhisheng threw a can of beer to Crow, "Where's Yasha?"

"I asked him to buy some oden. It would be boring to just drink in this weather." said the Crow.

Yuan Zhisheng nodded, then looked at the lights again.

At this time, there was a sound of knocking on the wooden door behind the two people. Crow's face changed. He didn't know whether he should continue to hold the umbrella for the young master or retreat tactfully.

Because the person who came was Sakura.

The girl was wearing a black long skirt tied tightly around her waist, like a daffodil bud about to bloom. She washed her hands and rinsed her mouth in the copper basin filled with clean water at the entrance. It is a Japanese tradition to wash hands and mouth before visiting a shrine.

Yuan Zhisheng did not stand up. Crow hesitated for a moment, and passed by the girl when Sakura came to him. Sakura took the big umbrella from Crow's hand and inserted it in the gap of the rockery, so that it could just cover the two people who were very close to each other.

"You go down first." Yuan Zhisheng looked up at the crow. The crow bent its back and retreated, closing the door for them silently.

"It's so late and you haven't gone home yet?" Yuan Zhisheng put a can of beer in front of Ying. Ying pulled the ring and took a sip.

"Young Master, you look like you are worried about something." The girl, who was as beautiful as a plum blossom and yet slightly cold, whispered. There was no expression on her face and her eyes were lowered, but she was secretly looking at Yuan Zhisheng.

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled silently.

"That Lu Mingfei is very rude. Maybe his absolute strength is his confidence, but if it was me two years ago, I would not retreat like I did today. I would punch him in the face," he said.

"You are Amaterasu, he will not be your opponent." Sakura lowered her eyelids and knelt beside Gen Chisei, her skirt spread out like a blooming flower.

"But when I appeared in front of him as the head of the Yuan family and the director of the executive bureau, I represented not only myself, I represented the entire family. Similarly, he also represented the entire Kassel Academy. To this day, there are still many unwilling voices in the family clamoring for independence from the jurisdiction of the academy, but have we really reached the time for a decisive battle?" Yuan Zhisheng drank one sip after another, as if he was not asking Sakura's opinion, but just needed to find someone to vent to.

"You did the right thing, because you are a person with a great sense of justice, and you are destined to have an extraordinary future. Why do you have to start a rebellion because of today's humiliation and let your family fight with the academy without any preparation?" Ying said.

They then looked out at the brightly lit city together, as if this was how they wanted to get along.

"Aren't you accompanying Eri?" Gen Chisei suddenly asked.

"Ms. Eri insisted that I provide her with a cell phone. I felt I couldn't decide on such a matter, so I came to the young master to make the decision," Sakura said calmly.

Yuan Zhisheng's cheeks trembled, as if an unknown fire was rising in his heart, but then a burst of cool air extinguished the fire.

"Let's buy her one tomorrow, but limit her phone usage to no more than two...three hours a day," he said. It wasn't really a compromise, but Eri rarely made requests of them, and Gen Chisei didn't want to spoil her fun.

Chapter 158 "I Miss You"

"So our mission is actually divided into three parts. The first part is to cooperate with the academy to blow up the dragon embryo under the Japanese Trench. The second part is daily study, and the third part is..." Lu Mingfei walked at the back carrying a lot of shopping bags, and in front of him were Caesar and Chu Zihang who were also carrying a lot of bags.

"Suppress the Eight Clans of Sheqi?"

"You can't use the term 'we' because you are the only one assigned the last task. Chu Zihang and I are only responsible for cooperation. It's entirely up to you to decide how to do it." Caesar said. The waiters of the Peninsula Hotel saw the distinguished guests who had obviously made a large purchase outside from a distance. They trotted out to greet them, shouting "Smith Marseille" and bowing repeatedly as if they were really ashamed and took the bags from the three people.

When we left earlier today, Manager Akiko Morikami said that if we needed to shop, we could ask the hotel to arrange for waiters to go to the site to help carry things. When they saw that the distinguished guest did not do so, the waiters actually thought it was their fault.

"The college arranged for our group to come to Japan, so there should be a designated team leader, right?" Lu Mingfei handed the shopping bag to the waiter, stretched his arms, and watched the mottled light at dusk shine through the branches and leaves of the trees, flickering on his profile, which forced him to stretch out a palm to block the slightly dazzling sunlight.

This is a rare good weather in the rainy season. The dark clouds have temporarily dispersed and the sun has warmed the city again, but larger dark clouds are gathering at the edge of the city and slowly advancing towards Shinjuku District.

Lu Mingfei could vaguely feel that some huge conspiracy was slowly approaching him and his trip to Japan like a dark cloud covering a city.

He knew very well where this strange feeling came from. Lu Mingfei was a man who had experienced two periods of time and space. In a sense, he could see through his fate.

If fate is really an eternal and unchanging long river as people say, then from this moment on, this long river has already developed tributaries without the intervention of Lu Mingfei, the only prophet and foresighted person.

Lu Mingfei clearly remembered that his last trip to Japan was at the beginning of his junior year, so according to the time calculation, it would be in the second half of next year. Based on this, working backwards, the academy’s discovery of the dragon embryo’s heartbeat at the bottom of the Japan Trench should also be next year, and definitely not in this rainy July of 2010.

This feeling is not good, the development of the situation is beyond Lu Mingfei's control. Although everything that happened this time has changed a lot, most of those changes are related to Lu Mingfei, Nuonuo, and Eri. They were originally travelers who returned from the end of their destiny, so it is not surprising that they can stir up whirlpools in the long river.

But Lu Mingfei could confirm that neither he nor his senior sister had the ability to prompt the college to discover the embryo in advance.

Someone is making every effort to encourage Lu Mingfei to encounter the revival of the White King during his trip to Japan, which makes him involuntarily think of the organization standing behind Boar Neo and Herzog. What they covet is the power of the Black King.

But why let all this happen?

Lu Mingfei had no idea at all.

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves of the trees swayed, making the already mottled spots of light dim.

Lu Mingfei slowly moved his shoulders and neck. Looking up from here, he could see the Black Crystal Building standing among many gray buildings. That was Genji Heavy Industries. He seemed to be looking at Eri from a distance at this moment.

Lu Mingfei then smiled silently.

This long and bumpy road is about to come to an end. Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, he will no longer be afraid with his sword in hand.

What conspiracy can a desperado who is not afraid of death be afraid of?

Just in time, Lu Mingfei thought. Whatever it is, you should have slowly shown up by now, right? Let me see if I can chop off your head!

Boss Lu has always been a madman. He often hides his eyes to hide his sharpness and fatigue. He is often harmless like a little white rabbit. But when he is determined to do something, he will definitely do it. At this time, he will completely tear off his disguise and be as ferocious as a tiger roaring in the mountains.

All thoughts flashed through their minds in a flash. They had not even completely walked into the Peninsula Hotel Tokyo. At this time, Caesar, who was walking side by side with Chu Zihang and in front, suddenly turned his head. There was obviously some unwillingness and anger on Master Gattuso's face.

"The leader of the action team is Chu Zihang." He said, and Lu Mingfei immediately understood where the resentment and anger came from. Before he entered Kassel College, Caesar and Chu Zihang were tit-for-tat competitors, and they would not give in on almost anything. This situation was only slightly alleviated when Lu Mingfei entered the school and defeated the Student Union and the Lionheart Society head-on on Free Day.

Even a proud man like Caesar had never thought of considering Lu Mingfei as his potential opponent. The gap in strength caused by bloodline level was too great, making it almost impossible for them to have the idea of ​​competing with Lu Mingfei.

But as veteran stars in the academy, Caesar and Chu Zihang made the same choice when dealing with Lu Mingfei.

Their personal relationship and the bilateral relationship between the Lionheart Club and the Student Union quickly heated up after Lu Mingfei founded the Dragon Blood Society, which was quite like the Three Kingdoms situation in which Sun and Liu fought against Cao.

But neither of them is willing to give in to the other, and there is rarely any distinction between the primary and the secondary when they are performing tasks together.

However, according to the school's practice, in the past, for protracted student actions like this, the oldest student in the group would usually be designated as the group leader, and it was rare for a junior student to command the action. This was obviously because senior students had more experience in carrying out tasks, were more mature mentally, and were better able to deal with emergencies.

"Because we are nominally a study group and our mission in Japan is to further our studies, the group leader needs to be the person with the highest GPA and the best grades in the group." Chu Zihang also turned around and said.

Lu Mingfei showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. Caesar had many advantages. He was handsome, rich, and generous. He often helped his juniors and seniors who were struggling to make ends meet at the end of the month. He was generous and had leadership qualities. He had the most fans in the academy, and he even had a whole troupe of beautiful girls who could dance ballet.

But as mentioned before, in sharp contrast to Caesar's various strengths are the poor performance of all the previous student union presidents, which looks as if they had been chewed by a dog.

This guy's theoretical course performance has always been at the bottom of the college. Thanks to the fact that he usually gets the highest score in practical courses, he has barely managed to keep his A-level evaluation.

As for Lu Mingfei, his grades were acceptable, and the professors of various subjects were willing to give him a break in the exams, so he could barely rank in the top ten. But compared to a humanoid exam machine like Chu Zihang, he was naturally inferior.

"Although he is the team leader, we have a high degree of autonomy and can ignore things like team leaders." Caesar said seriously.

Lu Mingfei held his forehead with his hand, feeling too powerless to complain.

Tatami mats have been laid out in the exclusive restaurant. Since The Peninsula Tokyo is owned by the Sheqi Eight Clan, it is natural that they have to find distinguished guests from the Sheqi Eight Clan's headquarters, so everything is of the highest standard.

There was a long table in front of the tatami. Originally, according to Miss Sakura's arrangement, the main course for tonight was supposed to be a deep-sea bluefin tuna weighing more than 5 kilograms. However, because Lu Mingfei said that he did not like the texture and taste of tuna, it was replaced with A grade Wagyu beef airlifted from Hokkaido. The whole hind leg of the beef was placed on a rockery tray on the long table. White mist rose from the ice and flowed along the grain of the hind leg of the beef. The chef with a chef's hat cut the beef leg meat with a short-bladed wooden-handled kitchen knife. The meat was as rosy as jade, and the grain was very tempting.
