Dragon Tribe: Still Thinking Until Now

Lu Mingfei looked through the rearview mirror at his senior brother who was sitting in the driver's seat wearing sunglasses to hide his golden pupils. Chu Zihang had a blank expression on his face, seemingly concentrating on driving and watching the road, but in fact his two ears were perked up, as if he wanted to write down all the content of the conversation between Lu Mingfei and Susie.

"Junior brother, although we saw the scene of you fighting with the dragon that looked like Odin through the video sent back by Norma, we don't know the whole story of the Kuimen Project." Susie said, "I don't know if you have signed any confidentiality agreement. If not, can you tell us the details of the Kuimen Project?"

Susie had a sly look on her face. She turned her head from the passenger seat. Her high ponytail cast a beautiful shadow on the front windshield. Her black eyes blinked. "I heard from Senior Selma that you saved Nono's life in the battle of the same generation."

Lu Mingfei burst out laughing.

He recalled the scene of that day, when Nono opened her arms and held the Atkan long sword named Gluttony. The great alchemical weapon in her hand pierced fiercely into the spine of the next generation.

But the red-haired girl also drifted away in the wind like a burnt flower. Lu Mingfei's heart trembled violently.

"No way, it was clearly senior sister who saved my life." Lu Mingfei said, "I killed two second-generation species in the Kuimen plan, and I was in danger when fighting the second second-generation species. It was senior sister who jumped onto the back of the second-generation species without fear of danger and pierced his spine with a long knife, saving me from the mouth of that monster." Lu Mingfei scratched his hair.

"If it wasn't for saving me, Senior Sister wouldn't be in danger."

"You two can be said to have lived and died together as a junior brother." Su Si chuckled and then turned her head away.

"Junior brother, you have just been discharged from the hospital. Are you really okay?" Chu Zihang suddenly asked.

Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang's eyes through the rearview mirror again. Although those eyes were covered by sunglasses, Lu Mingfei was sure that Chu Zihang was looking at him.

He nodded, "He's recovered pretty well. I think he'll be able to return to the battlefield of slaying dragons soon."

"You killed two second-generation species with the title of prince in one day, and fought against Odin, who was suspected to be the first-generation species, in the Kuimen Project without losing. Such a record is enough for you to leave a heavy mark in the history of dragon slaying. Even epic dragon slaying heroes like Beowulf, Sigmund and Cosmodesm will not be able to match you in later generations. So you don't have to rush to set foot on the dragon slaying battlefield again." Chu Zihang said without looking back.

Lu Mingfei shrugged, "Brother, do you slay dragons for honor?"

Chu Zihang did not respond for a while until the stretched Lincoln drove several kilometers again. "No." Chu Zihang responded with only two light words.

Lu Mingfei chuckled, "Then neither am I. We all have things we want to do and things we should do. Like the principal, he lives for revenge, and he slays the dragon for revenge. Like Caesar, he slays the dragon for honor and pride."

"What about you, junior brother? Why do you live? Why do you have to go to that battlefield?" Chu Zihang asked softly.

Susie didn't say anything else, and the air in the car became a little dull for a moment.

Lu Mingfei exhaled slowly and said, "Fate. Before I came to Kassel, I vowed to crush the sad fate."

Chu Zihang did not respond until a few minutes later, when Susie chuckled, "Junior brother, you are really a middle school student, a bit like Caesar. But Caesar's middle school student mentality is that he can say things like 'Let's run towards the sunshine, young man', while your middle school student mentality is tinged with sadness."

"It's okay, actually. I don't feel sad." Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed. "Brother, don't you agree?"

"Junior brother, you know I don't like lying." Chu Zihang said.

"You're so annoying, senior brother." Lu Mingfei acted shy.

"By the way, junior brother, you should have been browsing the Night Watch forum, right?" Su Si took out throat lozenges from her arms and handed them to Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang.

Lu Mingfei nodded.

"Then you should have seen the posts about you, Junior Sister Xia Mi, and Nuonuo, right?"

Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed, but still said, "Yeah, I saw it."

"Have you made a decision yet? Xia Mi or Nuonuo?" Su Si asked casually.

But Lu Mingfei clearly sensed Chu Zihang's sharp eyes staring at him through the pair of dark sunglasses. He felt a little uneasy, "Brother, just say what you want to say. Don't stare at me like that. I'm a little scared."

Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment, "I was wearing sunglasses, and I thought you couldn't see me looking at you."

Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes and said, "Turn off the lights. Your golden eyes can be used as light bulbs, brother."

"Oh, sorry." Chu Zihang turned his eyes away.

"Actually, I don't have any plans to date anyone for the time being." Lu Mingfei sighed.

"Do you like another girl?" Chu Zihang said suddenly.

Susie pinched his waist gently.

"Hey, senior brother, is it really okay for you to slander others so boldly?" Lu Mingfei shouted and blew his nose and glared.

Su Qian turned back from the co-pilot seat and touched Lu Mingfei's head. "Don't be angry, Junior Brother. Zihang is just like that. He is straightforward and always speaks his mind."

"Lu Mingfei and I have been friends for four years, and he knows my personality." Chu Zihang said lightly. Calculating the time, he and Lu Mingfei have indeed known each other for more than three years, almost four years, and they have indeed become friends since they first met.

The two people have very similar temperaments, both are lonely and sad, carrying hatred as surging as the ocean.

"Brother, you are talking nonsense again. I am a great man who cares about the world. How can I have a home if the dragon clan is not destroyed?" Lu Mingfei was talking nonsense.

He actually didn't dare to say what he was thinking.

He didn't know whether Eri would choose him as firmly this time as she did last time.

"Actually, Nuonuo is a very nice person, she likes you very much." Susie held her chin with her hand. Nuonuo was her roommate, and she would share everything she thought with her.

People like Nuonuo will let the whole world know if they like someone.

"You know, Junior Brother Mingfei, Nuonuo never knew how to cook before. If I was not in the dormitory and the Sunshine Canteen was closed, she could only make instant noodles. But now she has learned almost all the cuisines of China. In fact, it’s not all the cuisines, but she asked me to teach her every cuisine. I asked Nuonuo why she learned so much, and she said she didn’t know what I liked to eat, so she cooked them all." Susie said.

Lu Mingfei blushed a little.

I don't know when he remembered that Nuonuo liked to eat Quanjude Roast Duck, so after escaping from the cinema last time, Nuonuo asked him to treat her to a meal, so Lu Mingfei took her to Quanjude Roast Duck. It was also from that time that the seeds of doubt were planted in Nuonuo's heart.

"Senior sister is very nice and takes good care of me." Lu Mingfei said, but he couldn't continue. He couldn't say that there was a Japanese gangster princess waiting for me to save her in Tokyo or something like that, that was too ridiculous.

But if that were true, Chu Zihang would definitely bring Murasame with him to break into Genji Heavy Industries and snatch Eri away.

"Actually, I think Xia Mi is better." Chu Zihang said suddenly.

Lu Mingfei covered his face and thought to himself, "Senior Brother, could you please stop matching couples up with each other so randomly? In the martial arts world, a little brother like me is bound to be stabbed and pierced."

Chu Zihang took off his sunglasses and stared at Lu Mingfei's eyes through the rearview mirror with his golden eyes that never extinguished. "Don't you know? Xia Mi has always liked you since high school. At that time, she even asked me for advice, but you know, I don't understand these things, so I couldn't help her much."

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened.

He actually didn't dislike Xia Mi, but he just couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

And to be honest, this kind of liking is far from the level of love. It's just that during this period of time, Chu Zihang and Su Si's relationship seems to have improved a lot, and Lu Mingfei doesn't know how to continue to match the forbidden love between the senior brother and the junior sister.

He simply shrugged.

"At that time, I always thought Xia Mi liked you, senior brother." Lu Mingfei said.

The corner of Chu Zihang's mouth twitched.

He glanced at Susie imperceptibly, but Susie's expression didn't change much.

"No, Xia Mi has always wanted me to help her pursue you since the beginning, but I couldn't provide her with much help." Chu Zihang said. He was a blockhead, and although there was a gossipy woman hiding inside that made him feel agitated and restless, he really didn't know how to show it and he had never had any relevant experience.

"So, senior brother, what do you think of Xia Mi?" Lu Mingfei suddenly asked.

He did do some stupid things during this period of time. Maybe he shouldn't have gotten close to his junior sister, so that Xiaolongnu wouldn't have any misunderstandings.

Chu Zihang turned his eyes away and continued to look straight ahead.

"Very good, she cooks delicious food and is easy to get along with. I think you two are a good match. And in a sense, you two should be considered childhood sweethearts."

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "Qingmei is your sister, Xia Mi should be your childhood sweetheart, okay?"

Lu Mingfei didn't care that Su Qian was right beside Chu Zihang. He rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, do you remember when Junior Sister invited you to the movies and to the aquarium to do your thesis?"

He originally thought that Xia Mi had still sealed his senior brother's memory during this period of time and space, but unexpectedly Chu Zihang nodded and said, "I remember. Aren't those things what you experienced with us?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

He stood there in a daze, his head aching slightly, as if some long-forgotten fragments of memory had pierced into his brain like a broken mirror.

"Xia Mi used to be the cheerleader of the Shilan Middle School basketball team. Once, our basketball team played against another school, and she danced in high-heeled boots to cheer us on, and even shouted your name in the stands. She had her hair tied in a very high ponytail." Chu Zihang said without turning his head, "After the game, she immediately brought you some water, and I didn't even get one. Then she invited you to watch a movie that night. I remember it was a musical movie, and it was pretty good, but you didn't like it, so you asked me to join you."

"One summer, Xia Mi invited you to the aquarium. She was the head of the dance troupe at Shilan Middle School at the time. She needed information about marine animals in the aquarium for her summer project paper. You said you needed a know-it-all, so you called me."

Lu Mingfei’s eyes widened.

He remembered it, but he had ignored all those things before.

It was the somewhat dull Irish musical film "Once". He, Xia Mi and Chu Zihang sat in the best seats in the huge screening room. He sat in the middle, his senior brother was on the left and his junior sister was on the right. As they watched the movie, his junior sister fell asleep leaning on her shoulder. In the end, only Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang were still watching the movie seriously. The light and shadow changed on the faces of the three people. It was quiet and beautiful, making people wish time would stop there.

And that time at the aquarium, the clumsy seal jumped out of the water, spit out a big mouthful of sea water towards Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, then happily slapped its belly with its paws, making a "pa pa pa pa" sound. The slender girl was right behind them, laughing so hard that she fell backwards, and while laughing she rushed over to hug Lu Mingfei.

Really, Lu Mingfei, you are so stupid.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, he closed his eyes, his mind went blank.

"Although, I still think Nuonuo is more suitable for you, my junior brother." Su Si stood firmly on Nuonuo's side.

Chapter 55 Celebration

Lu Mingfei's blood sample had been collected and tested during his hospitalization. Even with the technology currently available to the secret party, they were still unable to find any problems in his blood.

Teacher Masashi Toyama also conducted three psychological evaluations on Lu Mingfei while he was in the hospital, and gave the results from an academic perspective, indicating that Lu Mingfei still retained complete human logic and had not been distorted by the thoughts of the dragon species. As a result, the so-called hearing was repeatedly postponed.

Today is already March 10st.

The college has held an alumni celebration for two consecutive days since yesterday. On the one hand, it is to show goodwill to Lu Mingfei by the school board, and on the other hand, it is to celebrate the greatest victory the secret party has won on the dragon-slaying battlefield in the past hundred years.

Those who attended the celebration were far more than just the students currently studying at Kassel College.

Some specialists who had graduated many years ago and joined the executive department to carry out missions around the world also returned to the school. Young elites sent by the families to which the board of directors belonged and young people from other mixed-race societies also showed up here.

"This is actually a feast of dividing power, right?" Xia Mi came to Lu Mingfei at this time, holding a tray with two salmon rolls on it in one hand, and a large glass of iced hand-brewed wheat beer in the other hand.

Lu Mingfei: "Junior sister Bingxue is smart."

This banquet was indeed a carnival for the powerful.

"The dragon's corpse contains enormous power, and that power can bring power to a new peak. So more believers who worship power come here. They are polite and make people feel like spring breeze, but secretly they are gnashing their teeth and wishing they could tear two pieces of flesh and blood from the two dragon corpses." The dim golden color in Xia Mi's eyes flickered with the flickering lights.

Lu Mingfei drank the strong drink in his hand, and reached out to touch Xia Mi's head, "Dragons and humans are the same. When we come to this world, the law of the jungle still believes in the principle of power and strength. , those who hold power also control the fate of others. Now is the age of humans. If I kill two second-generation species, those who hold power will want to obtain the value of the second-generation species. If this is the age of dragons, those monarchs or Princes will also divide their forces and compete for humans as slaves, which is not squeezing the value of humans. So what they do is understandable."

What Lu Mingfei said was true. He also knew what the secret party was going to use the two dragon bones for, either to refine the Philosopher's Stone or for the Nibelungen Project. Of course, there was no need for him to stop it.

This was the case with the Camarilla in this era. The School Board provided funds for Kassel, so the dragons that Kassel's executive commissioners and students hunted during their missions naturally belonged to the School Board and the entire Camarilla.

Xia Mi stuck out her tongue and lightly touched the rim of the glass with her lips. "Eh, it's so unpalatable!" She made a disgusted expression on her face and pushed the glass of beer in front of Lu Mingfei. "Brother, help me drink it."

Lu Mingfei picked up the beer and drank it all in one gulp.

Lu Mingfei had no intention of delving into the matter. He continued to cast his gaze out the window, looking preoccupied and totally unconcerned about today's grand celebration in which he was the protagonist.

He did have something on his mind, and it was not easy to share it with Xia Mi.

The mountaintop campus is actually located on the mountainside, and from here you can overlook everything. The autumn in Illinois is not as withered as people imagine. On the contrary, it is still full of vitality and vigor. With Lu Mingfei's eyesight, he can often see the shadows of deer flashing between the trees, seagulls flying over Lake Michigan chasing schools of fish, and the mountains are as soft as a girl's back.

In this season, the vegetation on the mountains outside Chicago is different, and the color of the mountains changes from dark green to pale yellow, mottled and gorgeous, like the brushstrokes of a master.

"Would you like to try some Russian pastries?" Ling pushed the food cart he got from the waiter and came to the two people. She was petite, like a young girl, with no expression, but her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll.
