Dragon Tribe: Still Thinking Until Now

It's more than just a breach of promise, Lu Mingfei thought. When Professor Guderian came to China to interview him, he used threats and inducements all the time. He almost wanted to kneel down and beg him to join Kassel College. Fortunately, President Lu was determined and finally survived the honey trap.

"But it doesn't matter. I knew you were a smart kid. You would definitely be able to find the truth of this world through the clues I left behind. Maybe joining Kassel Academy was not Angers' idea, but you found them yourself." Chu Tianjiao said, "Since you don't want to live like Truman, then as a father, I will of course support your choice."

“I’m not that cool enough to find Kassel College, which was hidden by the vice-principal using an alchemical matrix, by myself…” Lu Mingfei felt a little ashamed.

It is said that before 08, Kassel Hilltop College was an aristocratic college that allowed outsiders to visit. But since 09, a guy named Chu Zihang traveled all the way from the west coast across the Pacific Ocean to Chicago, used the public telephone booth in front of the City Hall to make a private call to Professor Schneider, the then executive director, and drove to the college gate within three days after the call was connected. The college's top management held an emergency meeting and reached a high degree of consensus on strengthening the college's confidentiality.

Since then, the Mountaintop Academy has completely disappeared from any satellite map that could find it, thanks to the advanced development of Kassel Academy in the field of computers. At the same time, the board of directors also allocated more than 500 million US dollars to mentor Flamel to build a super-large alchemical matrix with the entire Mountaintop Academy as the core, which can exert a psychological influence on ordinary people who are close to here to a certain extent. That kind of influence will not hurt them, but will make them instinctively stay away from here.

"Perhaps you have heard from many people about the real Chu Tianjiao who has never been shown to you and your mother, but I want to tell you that what I leave to you is far more than just the honor of my ancestors and the best bloodline." The man's face showed some undisguised smugness. EVA curled her lips and said, "Shameless."

I think that when EVA and Finkel were still active in Kassel College, the legendary deeds of Chu Tianjiao had not been completely erased by the principal.

“Your father, the strongest, most powerful, and most invincible S-class hybrid in history, left a deposit of 900 million US dollars for you in the Zurich Bank!” Chu Tianjiao drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and opened his arms like a protagonist in a stage play when the plot reached its climax, welcoming the cheers and applause of thousands and tens of thousands of audiences below the stage.

Lu Mingfei raised his head and took a deep breath, a deep breath that seemed to suck the whole world into his lungs, and then he exhaled gently.

"It's only 900 million US dollars. When I was working as an artificial intelligence for the college, I could mobilize more than 2 billion funds every day!" EVA shouted in a low voice. For some reason, this girl who escaped from the information world seemed to have a great prejudice against Chu Tianjiao.

The next second Lu Mingfei suddenly stood up, and this action scared her.

The guy choked slightly and his whole body was shaking.

EVA had a puzzled look on her face and pouted to see what this junior brother was trying to do.

"If I hadn't been wandering for half my life and never met my biological father, would you..." President Lu's body trembled and he burst into tears.

"Where is your moral integrity? Where is your moral integrity?" EVA interrupted the spell and stared at Lu Mingfei with wide eyes and puffed cheeks.

"Moral integrity was completely thrown away when Finkel and I were fighting over the same pickled cabbage and pork elbow." Lu Mingfei was filled with righteous indignation.

"Besides, who are you? Why are you trying to stop us from meeting? Are you trying to steal my $900 million deposit in a Zurich bank?"

“I say, junior brother, where is your cleverness when you were hooking up with your girlfriends? What’s wrong? Can’t you see that Chu Tianjiao is just a 3D projection? It’s just a video plus a simple artificial intelligence composed of images of the past. Can you just bow down and acknowledge a thief as your father?” The senior sister said with a snort. At this time, the projection of Chu Tianjiao had stagnated like a network signal wave that was interfered with.

"I don't allow you to insult my dear father who has a deposit of 900 million US dollars!" Lu Mingfei blew his beard and glared.

"Can't you tell that those words were originally meant for Chu Zihang? It was because I activated the artificial intelligence that was still running but had lost its recognition function that this video was able to see the light of day again." EVA was a little helpless.

"Although Norma Lawrence, who was created from my spirit and soul, is also an artificial intelligence, thanks to the supercomputer of Kassel College, she can still simulate human thinking and emotions even after leaving my spirit. However, the equipment here is isolated from the outside world, and it is even more impossible for the college to spend a huge amount of money to build a supercomputer in such a place. So the Chu Tianjiao you see is just a simple video material and the lowest level of artificial intelligence."

Lu Mingfei suddenly sat back on the bed like a deflated ball.

He reached into the bedside table and rummaged around for a while, finally finding a relatively dry cigarette. He hesitated for a few seconds but did not light it, instead he held it in his mouth.

"When I entered this space, I had already hacked into the personal system of the artificial intelligence left by Chu Tianjiao. He recorded three different videos at the same time. Different people will be identified and different projections will be unlocked. The one we have unlocked now is the one that was supposed to be opened by Chu Zihang." EVA waved her hand, and the projection beams that made up the illusory Chu Tianjiao began to change irregularly. Then the man sitting there reappeared in front of them, but this time he was no longer holding a whiskey glass, but a lit cigar.

Lu Mingfei sighed, "So who did he originally leave this video for?" he asked.

"It's been many years since we last met, Angé, you old bastard. Are you here to bury me this time?" The person who answered Lu Mingfei's question was Chu Tianjiao.

The answer is already obvious.

Lu Mingfei was not surprised.

If Chu Tianjiao had already anticipated his own ending, he might have left a touching projection to his son Chu Zihang under such circumstances, and told his child that he actually had a deposit of 900 million US dollars in the Zurich Bank.

As a super executive, it makes no sense for Chu Tianjiao not to leave clues that could help his only superior break the impasse.

It can be seen from the fact that he would rather send his wife and children to another man than terminate the mission that Chu Tianjiao is an extremely responsible dragon slayer.

He may be far more philanthropic and more just than Chu Zihang imagined, but his justice is not the selfish justice of Caesar.

There is no doubt that Chu Tianjiao's justice is based on the safety of the entire human race. Su Xiaoyan and Chu Zihang are just the small price he pays for justice.

Such a person would definitely leave clues for Ange no matter what, whether it was about Odin or the holy spear of destiny called Kungunir, or something in the box that looked like the bones and blood of the Black King.

It's a pity that Angers never found this place.

"I hope you can tell me the time now, old friend." Chu Tianjiao still looked down at Lu Mingfei's eyes, and he exhaled a long puff of cigar smoke.

"December 2010, 12." Lu Mingfei said softly.

"So the child has grown up safely, right? I haven't failed my mission, have I?" Chu Tianjiao turned his head. It seemed that when he filmed this video, he was not sitting in this room, but in some very open place. Because the man's pupils were reflecting the brilliant rays of light.

"Yes, he has grown up and is studying in our Kassel College." Lu Mingfei did not need to learn Ange's tone and expression. Although the EVA senior sister had obtained a human body, she seemed to be the god who dominated the information world. The simple artificial intelligence that Chu Tianjiao relied on to leave these images was like a child and had no power to resist in front of him.

"We have some questions for you." Fluorescent blue runes flowed in the girl's pupils. The runes were like binary codes in the information world, and also like the ancient texts left behind when the dragon civilization flourished thousands or tens of thousands of years ago.

"It's you, that poor kid." Chu Tianjiao nodded, but didn't look in the direction of EVA.

His expression went from soft and human to rather dull in a second.

"Your permissions are written into my repository, so you can get answers from me about any question I know of." Chu Tianjiao said.

Lu Mingfei watched in silence as Chu Tianjiao's expression changed from dull to lively.

"In your base, you used red threads to connect all the major events in history and in recent years that were suspected to be caused by the dragon clan, and finally tied a knot at the end of all the red threads. The knot was connected to a card named Nidhogg." EVA said, she returned to Lu Mingfei's side, sat down, and together with Lu Mingfei, raised their heads to look at the man who seemed to be lost in thought.

Only then did Lu Mingfei look up at the red silk threads that were densely intertwined above his head like a spider web. Cards of various sizes were tied to the threads, like bells swaying slightly in the slowly flowing air. All the threads finally converged into one place, right above Lu Mingfei's head. He only needed to stand up and reach out to take the card in his hand, on which was written the name of the Black Supreme.

"Yes, he is the originator of everything and the end of everything. Some people say that he is the restraint of history, waiting for us who are struggling to cross the river at the other side of fate, and then he will kill us one by one and build a bronze kingdom on the mountains of corpses."

"You speak so beautifully, like a wandering poet." Lu Mingfei said, "You and Chu Zihang are really different. He is not as reserved as you."

"So you have met my son. How is it? Does he have a girlfriend now?" Chu Tianjiao's expression suddenly changed again. His eyebrows raised slightly, as if he was showing off something.

Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment, then smiled.

"He's in Tokyo now, and his girlfriend is in Chicago." He didn't know why he chose to respond to the questions of a projection that had no self-emotions or self-awareness, but facing such a lifelike projection, he always had a feeling that he was really talking to the man who had sat next to this workbench and enjoyed braised large intestines and double spicy grilled chicken wings.

As expected, Chu Tianjiao did not respond to Lu Mingfei.

"What exactly do you want to do by accepting Angers' mission and wandering around this city?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"The S-rank mission 'Legacy of the Holy Dynasty' requires me to guard a black box that cannot be opened even with my authority. I don't know what's inside, and I don't have the authority to open it. But it seems that as long as I carry that box, all the revived dragons and fallen hybrids in the world will come to me. This is the reason why Su Xiaoyan and I are getting divorced."

The black box contains the Black King's bones and blood. Chu Tianjiao may not know this, but Xia Mi had lived in this city for a long time, and she could clearly feel that the thing was here.

"Where is the box?" Lu Mingfei tried hard to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you the answer, because I always carry that box with me. If I had already disappeared from this world when you appeared here, Ange, then that thing must have been lost in Odin's hands by now."

Damn.

If even Xia Mi can sense that thing is the Black King's bone and blood, then there is no reason why Odin, who is also a first-generation species, would remain indifferent.

"In addition, I am also responsible for another S-level mission, to protect Qiao Weini's son Lu Mingfei and ensure that he can grow up to be a dragon slayer who shoulders the fate of mankind." Chu Tianjiao said, frowning, "But he is a very gentle child, Ange, I'm serious, maybe he is not suitable to be involved in our world. We have shed enough blood to slay dragons... If you are listening, then I hope you will let him go."

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

His mouth was slightly open, as if he was gradually sinking into the comfortable plush mattress.

"This city is Odin's lair. The puppet that chased you on the day you escaped from Tokyo was attacked by Minamoto Chikōnō, Uesugi Yue, and Minamoto Chikō and was severely injured. He must be recuperating in the lair now." EVA patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, "Junior brother, this is a good opportunity."

Lu Mingfei lowered his eyebrows and looked at her.

"To the Nibelungen."

EVA said, "Kill Odin and take the box back."

Chapter 462 Box

"Goodbye, Uncle Chu." After extracting all the useful information from Chu Tianjiao, Lu Mingfei waved his hand, signaling EVA to turn off the projection.

"There is actually another video left for you. Don't you want to take a look at it?" EVA tilted her head and looked at Lu Mingfei.

The man who stood up and walked to the corner to carefully examine the iron cabinet shook his head. "Forget it." He said, "I can almost guess what Uncle Chu left for me. I can guess a little from the message he left to the principal... After all, men will become very sentimental once they are middle-aged, but it is not good for people like us to be too sentimental. Besides, he is my buddy's father and has saved a huge sum of 900 million US dollars in Zurich Bank. No matter what reason he had to monitor me or protect me here, no matter what kind of message he left for me, I have to help him avenge his hatred."

"From the files Chu Tianjiao left behind in the academy, it can be seen that the weapons he has always been good at using are Japanese swords. However, in the cabinet in front of you, there is a weapon box that is not connected to the outside world. The parts in the box can be assembled into an incredibly powerful sniper rifle. It is a masterpiece of the equipment department. It is said that if it is in the plains, it can accurately strike the target hidden behind a 50mm thick alloy steel plate five kilometers away. This weapon is not suitable for use in an encounter with Deadpool. Moreover, with Chu Tianjiao's ability, unless the opponent is a second-generation or above, even a pure-blooded dragon cannot pose a threat to him who has opened the time zero field." EVA stood behind Lu Mingfei, with her arms folded across her chest. There was a red string tied around her slender wrist, and a silver bell hung on the red string.

“Maybe that gun has been pointed at you since you were very young,” she said. “Don’t you feel resentful?”

“What’s there to be resentful about? If something like me gets out of control, it will surely bring about a devastating disaster to everything around it, right?” Lu Mingfei shrugged, holding the padlock with both hands. His biceps, as hard as diamonds, undulated like mountains under his coat.

“Senior sister, you have a lot of secrets, and I guess you must know a lot of mine too. A devil once told me that the distortion in my body has reached a level that some people cannot tolerate, and in the end I will become a monster that doesn’t recognize anyone… I actually hope that Uncle Chu can shoot my head off by then.” With the blessing of the dragon bone state, Lu Mingfei didn’t even need to bleed, he just used a little force to tear open the not-so-sophisticated iron lock.

In the cabinet was a heavy black aluminum alloy box with the emblem of a half-rotten world tree engraved on the lid.

Lu Mingfei held the thing in his hand and felt it was cold and heavy, as if it was filled with weapons and ammunition.

The senior student was right. If one of Odin's puppets was seriously injured and was currently in a dormant state in the Nibelung to repair itself, then now would be the best time for them to invade the kingdom of the dead.

If nothing unexpected happens, Odin should have three people. The most powerful one, who Lu Mingfei cannot resist with his current strength, should be his original body, Caesar's father, Pompey Gattuso.

The second Odin was slashed by Lu Mingfei with the seven deadly sins on the Kuimen of the Three Gorges, and a face that looked three-quarters similar to Chu Zihang could be vaguely seen under the mask. Obviously, Chu Zihang drove a Maybach and escaped from the kingdom of the dead on that elevated road, but Chu Tianjiao was left behind forever. He was not killed, but was chosen by Odin because of his strong bloodline and turned into his puppet.

In addition, there is a third Odin. He first appeared when Lu Mingfei was on the CC1000 express train from Kassel College to Chicago. Chu Tianjiao Odin's Word Spirit is Time Zero, while the third Odin's Word Spirit is the advanced Word Spirit of the Dustless Land, Glazed Brahma City, which is almost impossible to be pierced or hit. All the power in the world must bypass the king.

Lu Mingfei couldn't guess whose face was hidden under the mask. He didn't even know which puppet was severely injured by Uesugi Yue and his two sons.

But since Minamoto no Chikyou can stop him, and Uesugi Yue and Minamoto no Chisei can even seriously injure him after joining the battlefield, Lu Mingfei doesn't think he can be his opponent.

The Black King's bones and blood were lost in Odin's Nibelungen along with Chu Tianjiao. Now that thing may be in Pompeii's hands or may be left in the Nibelungen.

Lu Mingfei was unwilling to miss any opportunity. Only the Black King's blood could create a new embryo for Xia Mi when her spirit was extremely weak. Even if it was a dangerous place, he would still go and give it a try.

Now we can only hope that Pompey will put the black box in his own nest after getting it from Chu Tianjiao.

"Do you have your student ID? In the authority system of Kassel College, the student ID of an S-level student has almost the highest authority. In many cases, it can be used as an authority card for the principal or the board of directors." EVA stared at the black aluminum alloy box in Lu Mingfei's hand.

"It's almost impossible to open it with brute force. You should know those crazy people in the Equipment Department. It's not hard to imagine that this box itself might be a bomb."

Lu Mingfei lowered his head to check, and sure enough, he found the card slot on the seal of the box.

The entire box was sealed with a seal on the card slot, and the words "Cassell College 2005" were printed on the seal.

Lu Mingfei was very familiar with this thing. In another time and space, when he was still the president of the Student Union, in order to fully exert the effect of the Nibelungen Plan on him, the academy would often assign him some dangerous tasks, and similar boxes were usually provided in those tasks.

Kassel Academy Equipment Box, 2005 Edition.

It is certain that Chu Tianjiao came to this city earlier than 1990, because Chu Zihang was born in 1991.

The seal on this box was dated 2005, which meant that even though he was outside the power core of the academy and had completely disappeared in the world of mixed-bloods, this man still received support from the academy silently.

Everything in this room is simple yet luxurious. The whiskeys in the wine cabinet are all Yamazaki and Macallan, and the cigars are at least all Cohiba.

It is not difficult to imagine that at a fixed time every year, Angers would transfer a huge sum of money into Chu Tianjiao's account. What would he do with this money?

He buys cigarettes, alcohol, and cosmetics for the woman who is willing to accompany him to the roadside restaurant in the Chenghuang Temple Small Commodity Wholesale Market to eat braised large intestines and double spicy grilled chicken wings, and then tells her with a smile that he is sorry, honey, and that he has no ability and can only buy Xibei products for her. But in fact, those are all the most high-end goods, good things that can be put into the counters on the Champs Elysées.

It is not difficult to guess that Angers always uses various methods to hide the latest weapons every year from everyone and send them to Chu Tianjiao, and he has not even opened the equipment box of 2005.

But something was wrong, and Lu Mingfei felt a dull pain in his temple.

But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
