Dragon Tribe: Still Thinking Until Now

His breathing was originally completely disordered, like the low roar suppressed from the depths of his throat before a lion or tiger attacks, but now it was actually calming down at an astonishing speed.

"He doesn't have cognitive impairment, but he is actually a German." Lu Mingfei said softly.

He relit a cigarette, his fingers still trembling slightly.

Herzog...

I got you.

"How is that possible! Our data shows that he is from Russia! He even worked for the Soviet government for a long time!" Jiude Mai's expression was a little surprised. She has always been very confident in her intelligence network, and even Kassel Academy may not be able to match their exploration of the secrets of this world.

Lu Mingfei waved his hand. “It’s okay. This is enough. Sister Mai, please continue to pay attention to the internal information of the Sheqi Eight Families. As for Tachibana Masamune himself, you don’t need to monitor him for the time being.” He said.

Herzog is a very cautious person, but human habits are difficult to change. He may have always had the habit of talking in his sleep, so he has been using sedatives to quickly put himself into a deep sleep.

It can be imagined that Jude Mai happened to encounter one of his omissions, which allowed Lu Mingfei to be sure that the long river of fate did not stir up a chaotic whirlpool because of the appearance of this big fish, Tachibana Masamune or Herzog.

This is good.

The information gap allowed him to win this game beautifully.

However, since it has been confirmed that Tachibana Masamune is Herzog, it is better for Shutoku Mai to stop conducting dangerous direct surveillance. After all, this is the headquarters of the Snake Eight Families, and Genji Heavy Industries is also heavily guarded. In such a place, even the true king of ninjas would find it difficult to guarantee that he would not be discovered.

Jiude Mai's bloodline is quite good, but it seems impossible for her to make it out of that kind of place. After all, she is not a word spirit like Jun Yan that can cause large-scale destruction.

"Is this the information that Sister Mai got in the past two days?" Lu Mingfei tossed the thing in his hand, but in his heart he was thinking about how to deal with this old dog Herzog.

Everyone is walking on a road full of thorns. You know that this road may never end, and you know that you will be covered in bruises after walking through the thorns. However, you are carrying things that you cannot put down, and you must move forward, even if you die on the road.

The end of fate has been seen, and those tragedies will never happen because the desperadoes are invincible.

Lu Mingfei knew that he was the biggest desperado in the world who was willing to sacrifice his life for something. It didn't matter even if the person standing in front of him was a god or a demon. Herzog? Just a despicable villain.

Please spare your life for now, and I will chop off your head.

"Well, there are some video materials in it. I copied a copy. Because the sound source is Tachibana Masamune's sleep talk, I can't hear it clearly, so I plan to take it back and let professionals extract it." Jude Mai said. As expected of an expert in infiltration, he really took care of everything.

Lu Mingfei gave Jiude Mai a thumbs up, "Sister Mai is awesome."

"The little brat is quite sweet." To Lu Mingfei's surprise, these words alone could make Jiude Mai's face flush.

"The work you assigned us has been preliminarily completed. The boss told us to stay in Tokyo first. He has found more professional people to handle it in Oslo. So I will continue to keep a close eye on the top leaders of the Sheqi Eight Families." Jiude Mai rubbed her calves with a rather seductive movement, but Lu Mingfei remained unmoved.

"I've asked the front desk to heat up some milk for your girlfriend, and it will be served soon. The potato chip girl has also asked someone to deliver the main midnight snack that Shangshan's family wants, and it should be here soon. That's all." The girl stretched, her movements like an elegant big cat.

Lu Mingfei touched the tip of his nose. He almost forgot about ordering takeout for Eiry.

"Thank you, Sister Mai." he said.

"There's nothing we can do. Who told us to be the miserable nanny group?" Jiude Mai stood in front of Lu Mingfei, stretched out her hand and gently patted the boy's cheek, and then suddenly she lay on his shoulder, the breath she exhaled was cold and fragrant, she almost touched Lu Mingfei's earlobe, the warm air teased the man's hair,

"If the little white rabbit really wants to thank her, then come and warm her bed."

"Ahahaha, I'll definitely do it next time, definitely do it next time." Boss Lu fled in panic.

Chapter 176 Divine Inspiration

As expected, the kind-looking proprietress at the front desk brought Lu Mingfei some heated milk in a thermos bag, along with packaged oden, canned cola and a bowl of five-eye fried rice.

The oden and canned cola were brought for Eri as a midnight snack for the girl. I guess the little girl was already prepared to fight all night long, so she probably wouldn't need hot milk for a while.

Lu Mingfei ordered the five-eye fried rice for himself. To be honest, he was a little hungry after several hours. This was the disadvantage of mixed-bloods. Their strong body functions inevitably meant an accelerated metabolism, and they would always feel more easily the fatigue caused by energy consumption.

For example, Susie. Although my sister-in-law looks gentle at ordinary times, in fact, when she gets serious about eating, the amount she eats can feed a strong man to death.

When the proprietress handed the things in her hand to Lu Mingfei, she also said something earnestly about young people having to control their diet and being careful about fatty liver if they ate too much at night. It seemed that she was also an experienced person.

When Lu Mingfei pushed open the door, Eri was wrapping herself in a quilt, watching TV intently with her eyes wide open. Her red hair was coiled on the velvet quilt like silk.

It was still raining heavily outside the window, but it could be seen that the rain clouds had become much thinner. The twilight penetrated the clouds with every drop of rain that fell, and the water dripping from the eaves looked like a dense silver curtain.

There was no light in the room, but with the light from the TV, Lu Mingfei could still see a pile of white pajamas on the parquet carpet, like some kind of furry animal cream. The man's face changed and he stood at the door without going in.

Eri looked up at him, her eyes sparkling. She had been shivering when she came from her room, her skin pale from the cold wind, but in just half an hour, it was as if she had had a good rest for a whole day, her skin was rosy.

"You're back." The girl stretched out a fair and warm hand and showed the written note to Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei nodded, put the plastic bag containing hot milk, oden, five-meat fried rice and cola on the ground, and pointed to the pajamas that Eri had taken off.

"Get dressed first, get up and have a midnight snack, then I'll play games with you." He said, then turned around and closed the door.

Leaning against the bedroom door of the hotel, Lu Mingfei let out a long breath. He lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth. White smoke curled up and the scarlet light was so bright that it was blinding in the darkness.

Looking out from here, this street is not prosperous, and even looks a bit old. It is probably because this old street existed before Tokyo was developed. The land is too expensive, and developers are unable to buy it or think that they will not make much money if they buy it, so they have been preserved.

Single-family Japanese-style houses are still the mainstream on the streets, but they are not traditional wooden products, but probably made of cement and steel. At some road corners, there are telephone poles with countless small advertisements posted on them. On the top of the cement poles are carp flags used for praying during the Spring Festival, but they are already riddled with holes.

Many businesses still have batik blue signs hanging in front of their doors, clusters of late cherry blossoms are planted between the buildings, and maple and ginkgo trees alternate at the doorways.

When the weather is good, there should be a lot of people here. Small vendors will use mobile carts to sell oden and shaved ice in the alleys. Young people who come from other places or countryside to work in big cities like to enjoy those cheap delicacies in such places.

Eri grew up in Japan, but she must have suffered a lot in her childhood when she followed Herzog, who had not yet mastered the Snake Family and the Oni Clan. She was like a robin locked in a cage, not knowing the age of her own.

She must have been to many places in Tokyo, but she probably had never been to a corner like this urban village.

Although it is the oldest part of the city, it is also very quiet. Only the sound of the wind can be heard in the rain. The Russian people next door must be tired of singing, and it is completely quiet at this time.

The Tokyo Skytree in the distance stood tall in the rain. Although the lighting system was almost completed, it had not yet been colored as a whole. The cold light of the steel was escaping, like a hazy giant skeleton deep in a mirage.

Lu Mingfei was staring at the rain in a daze, thinking that there were probably countless sniper rifles aimed at his heart and head at this moment, but he was not afraid and just smoked silently.

The hardest part of a hybrid is definitely the skull. In the previous time and space, the old man named Inuyama He even endured the suppressive fire of two heavy machine guns for half a minute. More than ten kilograms of bullets were embedded in his body, and he was still clear-minded after the shooting.

At this time, there was a slight clicking sound from the wooden door behind him. It was Eri knocking on the door to tell Lu Mingfei that she was dressed.

Sure enough, after entering, the girl had already crawled into her pajamas, kneeling on the tatami with her back straight, and her beautiful body curves were fully revealed to Lu Mingfei's eyes.

"Eri, you must learn to protect yourself and don't expose your body in front of any man." Lu Mingfei taught in a relatively relaxed tone. He picked up the plastic bag from the ground, sat opposite the girl and touched her head.

Eri tilted her head.

"Not even in front of Ming Fei?"

"Yes, not in front of me either." Lu Mingfei said seriously. He meticulously untied the knot of the plastic bag, opened the oden and five-meat fried rice packed in biodegradable plastic boxes, and placed them in front of Eri and himself respectively.

The proprietress prepared two cans of Coke for them, but Lu Mingfei only opened one for Eri and took the sake he had not finished drinking.

A special drama about Ultraman Tiga was actually playing on TV. Lu Mingfei knew that this drama was more like a horror movie to Eri, so he frowned and stood up to turn off the power.

"Why turn off the TV?" Eri wrote in her little notebook. She had indeed grown up a bit over the years, but many things were still the same as before. Eri still liked to watch TV while eating, even if it would put noodles into her nostrils.

"What's so interesting about that kind of special effects drama? I'll show you an American blockbuster." Lu Mingfei said, picking up the phone from the foot of the bed but suddenly stopped.

He still didn't know when the girl next to him came back. Perhaps Eri's worldview was still confused. In her cognition, the previous generations of Gundam and Lelouch fought in the same time and space, and Saint Seiya and Ghost in the Shell also existed at the same time. If Eri watched some more bizarre movies and TV shows under this circumstance, would her worldview become more confused? She was originally a child who lacked a sense of security and had run away from home many times. Although she only stopped at the intersection outside the gate of Genji Heavy Industries and squatted down to cry, she actually just wanted to verify whether the world she imagined was correct.

At that time, Eri was probably full of yearning and fear for the outside world. Herzog regarded her as the Holy Grail for his ascension to godhood, just a tool, and naturally would not tell her what the world was like. Gen Chisei sometimes really doted on her, but this feeling was actually more to make up for something missing in his heart because of the death of Gen Chisei. Eri was more like a weapon than a girl to the future acting head of the Snake Eight Clan.

Or maybe in Genchisei's eyes, not just Eri, but everyone, including himself, is a weapon.

He was born for justice, so naturally he should die for justice. It is better to die as a weapon than to die as a coward.

Lu Mingfei's thoughts probably flew too far away. The waterfall on the eaves made a distant sound. Eiry did not make any movement. She just looked at Lu Mingfei who seemed to be stunned. The world reflected in her eyes was clear and bright, but with the darkness as the background, it seemed that everything except him was blurred.

“Forget it, let’s play games together after having supper.” Lu Mingfei smiled. He came to his senses and saw the girl in front of him staring at him without blinking. Those eyes that seemed dull and ignorant to everyone now seemed as bright as the rippling lake under the moonlight.

"Okay." Eiry responded to Lu Mingfei with the note in the small notebook.

Lu Mingfei stood up and turned on the light. It was already very late, and the people sent by the Eight Clans of Sheqi should have been drowsy. This little warm light was so bright in the quiet long street.

Eri is a girl with a very simple mind. When she says she wants to eat oden, she really wants to eat oden, but she is very reserved and elegant when eating, as if she is participating in a high-standard banquet, with a maid personally pouring wine for her, cutting beef bones and laying napkins for her.

The can of Coke quickly went into the girl's stomach. Lu Mingfei opened another can for Eiry and handed it to her. He sipped sake and ate fried rice with a spoon. Although he was face to face with the girl, his eyes and mind were not on her. He just stared at the sky that seemed to be getting brighter in the rain.

The rain clouds are becoming increasingly sparse, and the stars must be getting impatient.

But who knows what this man is thinking? Maybe he himself doesn't know. He is just tired, deeply tired. This kind of tiredness is almost written on his face, but he himself doesn't even notice it.

It was very quiet when eating with Eri. The head of the Uesugi family, who had received aristocratic etiquette education, certainly knew how to maintain the most elegant and polite posture when dining. Boss Lu was no longer the brat who smacked his lips while eating.

——To be honest, even if we look at his status, he is not unworthy of Eri. Norton's dragon bone cross is still in the ice cellar of the academy. The file also says that Boss Lu defeated Fenrir, the king of the earth and mountains who had just awakened. The entire secret party and even the whole world have to owe him a favor. In this case, if Eri really gets together with him, it would be the Eight Snake Families who are climbing up the ladder.

In addition, Eri's bloodline is not stable. She is Tsukuyomi of the Snake Eight Clan. Her bloodline is so excellent that any meaningful syllable she speaks is an ancient language of the Age of Gods. Any language of the Age of Gods becomes a medium for releasing the Word Spirit in her mouth. Eri's Word Spirit is Judgment. Lu Mingfei used this Word Spirit in Xia Mi's Nibelungen when he fought against the immortals controlled by Odin in the academy and the heroes who walked out of Odin's Nibelungen. Its effect is death, absolute and pure death. Giving death orders to anything is simply the authority of God in the world. But Eri is not proficient in mastering this authority. She always hurts others unintentionally, so she never speaks.

"Mingfei seems to be worried." Something was handed to Lu Mingfei. He came back to his senses and saw Eiry looking at him intently. A piece of paper was handed to him.

"I'm not worried. I'm just thinking about where to take Eri to play tomorrow..." Lu Mingfei smiled.

"I want to go to Meiji Jingu Shrine. My brother said that there are often many couples holding weddings there. I want to go and see it."

"it is good."

After accepting the offer, he looked at the oden in Eri's food box. Her Royal Highness the Princess was indeed very elegant when eating. Lu Mingfei had finished half of his five-eye fried rice, but she seemed to have just started. The radish, mushrooms, fatty beef and braised eggs were still steaming.

The rain outside the window gradually subsided. Lu Mingfei pointed at the oden in Eiry's bowl. Eiry understood and took out a string of mushrooms and put them to Lu Mingfei's mouth. Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, bit off one, and then gave him a thumbs up.

August is not really a rainy season, but if there is a rainstorm during a typhoon, cold air will sweep across the city. The temperature outside is actually very low, only about ten degrees Celsius, but it is quite warm indoors. The proprietress is very thoughtful. Not only did she choose an air-conditioned room for Lu Mingfei and his friends, but there was also a spider plant in the corner, and the whole room was filled with a faint floral scent.

Eri tilted her head and ate the remaining mushroom on the skewer, her cheeks bulging like a hamster.

Lu Mingfei held up his five-meat fried rice and showed it off wildly, his back arched, his eyes poking out from over the edge of the bowl to observe the stunning girl in pajamas sitting opposite him, much like a lion or tiger sitting on the floor enjoying its prey, but he was just not used to eating on the tatami.

Eiry pushed the half-drunk bottle of Coke in front of Lu Mingfei, then took the half bottle of sake from Lu Mingfei and sipped it in small sips, imitating what he had just done.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then buried his head deeper and ate the fried rice with larger movements and amplitudes.

That bottle of sake was actually quite high-end stuff and could be sold for hundreds of thousands of yen on the market. As for how much it was exactly, Lu Mingfei had no idea, but it was definitely higher quality than Kuryu Daiginjo. It was actually sent by Genchisei who was responsible for long-distance protection of Eri.

The taste is quite good. After being chilled, it is clear and mellow. You can't feel anything in your mouth, but the aftertaste is very strong, so much so that Lu Mingfei and Eiry's faces unconsciously show a bit of drunkenness.

It wasn't that she was drunk. After all, unless one drinks 96-proof vodka on an empty stomach, the strongest liquor in the world should only be considered an appetizer for mixed-bloods of their level. It's just that after drinking, Eri's white face became slightly flushed. Compared with the delicate and cute appearance in front of Lu Mingfei and the cold and wooden appearance in front of outsiders, she looked more cute and naive, which also added a lot of feminine charm.

Lu Mingfei kept looking at Eri, and the girl was not shy at all. She just ate her oden, sipped her sake, and occasionally secretly glanced at Lu Mingfei who did not hide his gaze.

After he finished eating, he burped to the side, wiped his hands with toilet paper, and touched Eri's face. For a moment, he felt that the girl's skin was as soft and smooth as white jade. "Eri is so beautiful," he said.

Eri's eyes immediately sparkled like ice crystals on the treetops in the winter sun in Greenwich. The girl touched her hair, then placed her slender and soft palm on the back of the man's hand that was still stroking her cheek, and rubbed his palm like a kitten.

Lu Mingfei suddenly realized something, and he hastily withdrew his hand, but suddenly white lightning tore through the darkness of the sky, and violent thunder seemed like a divine punishment falling from the sky.

Eri was startled. She covered her ears in horror, her expression frightened and dull.

Lu Mingfei was also shocked by Eiry's condition. He immediately stood up and hugged the curled up girl.

Eri was originally a tall girl, but at this moment she curled up into a small ball, leaning in the man's arms and trembling slightly.

The sound of rain was louder at this time. It was probably the last rainstorm. Eiry and Lu Mingfei both looked out the window because of the heavier rainstorm. Just as their sights moved into the darkness, the Tokyo Sky Tree suddenly lit up.
