Dragon Tribe: Still Thinking Until Now

"I would have believed it if there wasn't a senior in the fourth year who lost an arm when a prop from the equipment department exploded during his internship last school year." Nuonuo pouted. She was too helpless to complain about this crazy department.

Lu Mingfei showed great curiosity, "How did it blow up?"

"Who would have thought that a pressure cooker used to stew pork elbows would be a heat bomb?" said Nono.

Lu Mingfei thought that the senior brother was really unlucky. It was not easy for him to fight his way from Chicago to Mexico, then from Mexico to Brazil and finally go deep into the tropical rain forest. Seeing that the mission was about to be completed, he thought about stewing a pork elbow for himself to reward himself, but the pressure cooker exploded.

Mance on the Moniah covered his face, not knowing how to respond.

"Be sure not to tear the nanomaterial diving suit. The air pressure difference underwater is terrible." Professor Mans finally said, as if he wanted to change the subject quietly.

“So this thing couldn’t have been made by the Equipment Department as well?” Lu Mingfei was suspicious. He thought that it might be funny if he exploded into a flower in front of the dragon while slaying it underwater.

Professor Mance was speechless.

"Minister Akadullah of the Equipment Department is fully responsible for this operation. All weapons facilities will be under the charge of our Watt Alheim!"

Mance finally paid the price for his cheers and joy when he heard these words.

At this time, the pressure gauge on the wrist of the diving suit showed that Lu Mingfei and Nuo Nuo had dived to a depth of at least 70 meters. The high-pressure gas mixed with helium and oxygen was pressed into the inside of their diving suits to help them resist the huge external water pressure. Unfortunately, the nanomaterial diving suits were bulged by the gas, like the world's earliest space suits, which somewhat affected Lu Mingfei's ability to move.

The light from the spotlight could no longer penetrate the dark green river water. There was dead silence in front of me. The water was extremely turbid and nothing could be seen except dead plankton.

"The water pressure here is really uncomfortable," Lu Mingfei said. His eardrums hurt so much that they felt like they were about to burst.

They soon arrived at the Bronze City. Lu Mingfei and Nuo Nuo looked at each other. The spotlights shone on each other's faces, their faces hidden in the shadows of their diving suits.

There was a huge underwater crack below. Lu Mingfei and Nuo Nuo held each other's hands tightly, and their tense muscles slowly relaxed. The heavy lead weights on their belts dragged them down.

The uneven stone wall was like a crack in the sky. Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo had to slide down face down. Lu Mingfei looked around and it was pitch black.

There was a dead silence, not even any floating objects.

The surrounding water pressure continued to increase, and the pressure gauge showed a depth of nearly 100 meters, which is close to the deepest record of human diving without equipment. There was no sign of life in sight.

Lu Mingfei's body trembled slightly.

He is a good diver. When the Nibelungen Project was started, the old principal probably thought that they should create an almighty battlefield ruler, so he not only honed Lu Mingfei's fighting skills and invasion capabilities, but also allowed him to adapt to almost all extreme combat environments that might occur around the world within a year, including but not limited to the deep sea, dense forests with wildfires, and vast deserts where water and food are difficult to find.

But he seldom went diving. Ever since he came back from Japan that year, whenever he saw the dark water, he would be reminded of the tragedy that had happened.

Those tragedies are like exposed films. Whenever I think of them, my soul immediately becomes blurred and my heart aches.

"We are probably here." Nuonuo said at this time. She was not far from Lu Mingfei, and their hands were so close that they could touch each other with just a slight swing of their arms.

Lu Mingfei raised his head and let the spotlight shine forward. The lust pressed against his abdomen was trembling slightly and making a buzzing sound.

A huge wall that extends infinitely to the left, right, upward and downward into the abyss of absolute darkness glows with an ancient green color under the light of the spotlight. It is mottled copper rust covering the original huge wall, ancient and desolate, and the heavy ancient times seem to appear in front of Lu Mingfei through this wall.

"This is... Baidi City." Lu Mingfei said softly, his voice so soft as if he was worried about awakening the sleeping souls. In fact, if there really were such things as souls, the foundation of this city would probably be a miracle held up by countless dead people with their arms raised high in endless wailing in pain.

Lu Mingfei and Nuo Nuo looked at each other, and followed the memory of the previous time and space to search for the entrance covered by the living spirits on the nearby wall.

Soon, they found it.

It was a human face slightly protruding on the bronze wall, with facial features in a painful expression, and its mouth was biting burning firewood with teeth that were too sharp to be human, looking as ferocious as a real living creature.

"Inside every living soul there exists the soul of a bound sinner who cannot be freed. He may have been a loyal servant to the King of Bronze and Fire during his lifetime, and after his death he still loyally guards the gate of the ancient city for his king." Nono said, "This is the metal killed by the extreme fire element and then resurrected. Regenerated metal has many uses in the field of alchemy."

In the field of alchemy, metals are divided into "living", "dead" and "regenerated", and recycled metal is the dream of all alchemy masters.

Lu Mingfei thought that if he took this thing out, it would probably be worth a lot of money. When he thought of this, he reached into his arms, as if he was going to swing the knife to chop off the living spirit. The bronze human face seemed to really feel Lu Mingfei's malice, and the ferocious expression suddenly became a little terrified.

But in the end Lu Mingfei didn't do that.

Baidi City might be a real Nibelungen, and this living spirit was the only entrance. If it was destroyed, their mission might fail. He took out a vacuum tube from his waist, used a needle to draw blood from the key, and then injected the blood into the mouth of the living spirit.

The living spirit smacked its lips, as if it was still unsatisfied, but its bronze upper and lower jaws slowly opened, turning into a dark hole like a Titan python that could swallow an African elephant. A vortex appeared in the hole, and a huge pulling force was applied to Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo. They did not resist and were sucked into the vortex at the same time.

They finally fell into a bronze corridor.

On both sides of the corridor stand stunning bronze sculptures of officials or military generals, holding ivory tablets in their hands, with slender snake necks sticking out from the collars of their robes and armor.

With a snake head and a human body, a strong dragon religious atmosphere is overwhelming.

"Norma, can you hear me?" Lu Mingfei looked at the sculptures and took some samples from them while contacting the school secretary through the data line that had been embedded in the recycled metal wall. Norma's voice rang directly in his ears, "Yes, I can hear you, S-level Lu Mingfei, you are now carrying out the third dive mission of the S-level mission Kuimen Plan. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Help me temporarily disconnect from the ground, and ensure that the subsequent conversation will not be monitored by anyone or stored by anything." Lu Mingfei gave Norma the highest order with his S-level authority that had been entered into the system.

"Authorization has been confirmed, S-level student Lu Mingfei, in the next 30 minutes, your conversation with Miss Chen Motong will not be monitored or stored, and the Moniach will unilaterally be unable to contact you." In the information world, Norma is like a god who controls everything, and every word she says will be a motto falling from the clouds. At this moment, Nono stared into Lu Mingfei's eyes, which were a pair of golden eyes that had lit up at some point and were like flowing lava. At this moment, this pair of majestic eyes were emitting such a cold light.

"After many years, I'm back here again." Lu Mingfei said in a flat tone. The metal particles in the air were trembling slightly and slowly. The boy's voice was understated, but it was accompanied by the sound of metal colliding.

The dragon-slaying lust was slowly pulled out, with the tip of the blade facing the darkness of the corridor. The wakizashi held in Lu Mingfei's hand hummed and roared excitedly. It was a truly living thing, a weapon created by a king to kill another king. Norton, the king of bronze and fire, used the ultimate alchemy to forge this weapon, which should only exist in religious interpretations. Now this weapon has revived again because it has returned to a familiar place.

"Senior Sister, you have thought about it too, right?" Lu Mingfei looked at Nuo Nuo.

Nono had a blank expression on his face. “The person behind this matter is very smart, but his executors are full of loopholes.”

Lu Mingfei placed lust across his chest and tapped the blade with his fingertips. The sharp blade light then fell into the darkness deep in the corridor.

"Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki, they have big problems." Lu Mingfei said, "Those two second-generation species have a strong desire to attack. Anything that invades the Bronze City should be torn to pieces by them. And the two of them actually left here unscathed with their not-so-excellent bloodlines. This is incredible."

"More importantly, the mission report provided by Professor Mans clearly stated that Ye Sheng's team only had two hours to dive. Excluding at least half an hour required for diving and surfacing, they only had an hour and a half to move around in the Bronze City. In addition, there was no guide at the time, so it was very difficult to explore the entire Bronze City and find the exit. But when we were diving, Jiude Aki said that it would only take two hours to get through the entire Bronze City. How did she know this?" Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sharp light like a knife seeped out from his eyes.

"Someone in our school board betrayed us." Nono said, she put her wet red hair behind her head with her hands, "That Fujiwara Nobunosuke is not simple. Although he pretends to be harmless, every time I look into his eyes, I can always sense the brutality hidden in them, just like a hyena on the African grassland, hiding in the shadows, ready to rush up and bite your throat at any time. As the dispatcher of this mission, he represented a certain faction in the school board and asked us not to carry weapons when diving. In addition, Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki were not allowed to carry out the third dive mission. I think it may be because there is something hidden in this bronze city."

At this point, Nuonuo shuddered.

She was someone who had implemented the Bronze Project and knew what should be hidden in this city.

Constantine's bone jar contains the cocoon of a monarch on the throne of bronze and fire, who is always in a state of incubation.

"Perhaps my presence poses a threat to some big shot's plan." Lu Mingfei said, "They think this will be my burial place. They are eager to kill me. Bringing sharp weapons will only give me a chance to turn defeat into victory."

The Secret Party has never been a just organization. The old guys who hold wealth among the mixed-bloods sit at the card table called power and bet against each other.

The clash of interests always happens silently. Perhaps, without knowing when, Lu Mingfei became a thorn in the eyes of some people.

Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo walked forward step by step. They walked through the dark and deep corridor. On both sides of the corridor stood stone statues of people with snake heads. The statues looked respectful, as if they were lining up to welcome the return of the king.

It was so quiet here that they could even hear their own heartbeats and their heavy breathing echoed off the walls.

Lu Mingfei's expression quickly changed from cold and solemn to puzzled, and finally turned into deep surprise and suspicion.

They passed by a hall with a bronze roof that looked like the sky. A giant tree made of mottled metal began to grow from the center of the bronze roof, changing into countless branches and leaves and countless petals, like a huge fractal picture that made people dizzy at the sight of it. A huge bronze emperor sat under the sky. It was a sculpture with a snake face and a human body. It was as tall as an eight-story building and looked very majestic.

It also passes through an area where countless human remains from ancient times lie dormant, where there is a passage that directly connects to the Dragon King's bedroom.

But until they saw the exit of the city, they still did not suffer any attack.

There is still a huge living spirit there. As long as they pour the blood of the key into the mouth of the living spirit, they will have completely completed the task.

Ke Nuonuo suddenly grabbed Lu Mingfei's wrist.

Lu Mingfei turned his head and saw that the girl's face was pale and haggard. Her lips were trembling slightly because of anxiety, and her deep red pupils revealed a huge sense of anxiety.

"I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling." Nuonuo said, covering her chest, "It's as if something important has been overlooked by us."

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, turned his head and poured the blood from the key into the mouth of the living spirit.

He touched Nuo Nuo's wet hair and said, "Don't worry, I'm here." At this time, the bronze door opened.

They left the sleeping Nibelung without any accidents or danger.

It was safe and quiet, like taking a stroll in a deserted park.

But suddenly, Lu Mingfei was stunned. He saw something on the bronze wall behind him and Nuonuo.

That was a person. There was actually a person under such deep water!

He stood there quietly, with his head and eyes lowered, his hands crossed on his shoulders in a kind of pious gesture in the light of the spotlight.

Nono moved closer and looked inside. It was a pale face, obviously dead. The specially made diving suit of Kassel Academy was put on the body. Mottled copper rust fell on the surface of the diving suit like dust fallen over the long years.

The spotlight above Nono's head shone into the man's mask, and it was a familiar face.

In just a moment, she felt like she was falling into an icy cave.

The owner of that face is Ye Sheng.

The body had his nameplate hanging around its neck.

"Ye Sheng, Cassell College Executive Department, Assistant Commissioner, No. 08203118."

The huge fear overwhelmed Nuonuo like a tide, and she looked at Lu Mingfei in bewilderment. If Ye Sheng died here, then what was that thing on the Moniach?

Chapter 45 The World’s Sorrow is Always Conserved (3)

The water flow stopped at this moment, and Lu Mingfei seemed to have returned to the previous time and space.

He and Nuonuo fled from the collapsing bronze city in terror, and it was here that they saw Ye Sheng's skeleton. However, the flesh and blood on the body had completely disappeared, leaving only a skeleton floating in the water. The diving suit specially made by Kassel Academy was put on the skeleton, floating gently in the water. When the spotlight shone into Ye Sheng's mask, the two dark eye holes stared at the living passing by, like a walker from hell making a silent wail in the world.

At this time, the stagnant water flow became extremely turbid. Lu Mingfei felt that he was lifted out of the water by something. The bloated diving suit on his body was turned inside out and turned into a black windbreaker. Under the windbreaker was a decent suit. The heavy water pressure around him disappeared, replaced by a cool breeze blowing towards him.

He was on an old and huge cargo ship. The ship was empty, but the whistle was blasting as it headed towards the depths of the turbulent ocean. In the dark depths far behind the stern, probably in the direction of the port, a huge lighthouse pointed a bright beam of light to the sky. The sky was filled with thick clouds, like a reflection of the undulating waves of the sea below.

"Brother, did you see that?" The boy's voice suddenly sounded behind Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingze had a silent smile on his face. He held a black umbrella and pinned a withered white rose on his chest. He said, "If this ship leaves the port tonight, it will capsize as it is destined to do. But if it returns to the port, the lighthouse will go out, and fate cannot be escaped."

Lu Mingfei looked at Lu Mingze expressionlessly, the little devil looked like he was attending a funeral.

He stood at the other end of the deck, with the darkness on his back, like an eternal king overlooking the past at the end of the long river of time.

Lu Mingfei spat fiercely.

"How did Ye Sheng die?" He stared into Lu Mingze's eyes, as if he wanted to see the truth from those dark pupils.

"In destiny, he should have died." Lu Mingze laughed softly, with strong sarcasm and mockery on his lips, "Brother, you don't think everyone is you, do you? You can hold fate tightly, and you can kill or live anyone you want. That is the prerogative of the king."

At this time, dense raindrops fell from the low sky, and the rain fell almost like a torrent, soaking Lu Mingfei's whole body.

He felt a chill run through his bones.

"If Ye Sheng died in Bronze City, then what was the thing that stayed on the Moniach these days?" Lu Mingfei's voice sounded as the rain fell, "A ghost?"

What about Aki Sakutoku? Is she possessed by a ghost?

Lu Mingze sighed slowly.

His eye sockets suddenly lit up with golden pupils like the gas lamps on a cargo ship. The fierce golden light swirled in the extremely deep and twisted black, and lava-like flocs flowed in his eyes, as if a giant dragon from ancient times was dancing wildly in the dark clouds, about to bring down thunder to punish the rebels.

"Brother, don't you still not understand? In this world, dragons are the source of all mysterious powers. If you think that thing is a ghost, then it must be a dragon." The umbrella in Lu Mingze's hand became extremely hideous at this time, like a roaring human face. It was the dead Ye Sheng wailing silently.

"But I took Constantine away. If the Dragon Servant had killed him, he wouldn't have left any body behind..."

"You want to change your fate and rewrite the tragedy, but do you know that the tragedy in this world is always conserved. If you change one person's tragedy, that tragedy will inevitably happen somewhere else. And for little people like Ye Sheng who cannot control their own destiny, their fate has long been a predetermined fact in the torrent of time." Lu Mingze said.
