Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

Chapter 22 Spiritual Vision

"Devil? Where is he?" Lu Mingfei looked around blankly.

But he only saw the flames that blocked out the sun and countless people hiding behind torches. They were wearing the most primitive clothes and shoes woven from rattan, with devilish expressions on their faces.

"It's you, brother. Aren't you the biggest devil in the world?" Someone whispered in Lu Mingfei's ear.

"Look at their expressions: fear and delight. They're afraid of you! They've got this chance to burn you to death, and every one of them is incredibly happy!"

"Really..." Everyone who looked at him had a hideous and twisted expression, as if they were watching the biggest alien in the world.

"Devil!" someone shouted.

"Devil! Devil! Devil!"

Everyone began to roar loudly, and the overwhelming abuse and curses seemed to form a sea of ​​malice that drowned Lu Mingfei, making him sad and suffocated.

"So I am the devil who should be burned to death." Lu Mingfei muttered to himself. He lowered his head and took a closer look. It turned out that it was himself who was hanging high on the cross and being pointed at by thousands of people. He was the evil source of people's fear and anger.

"But why do I feel like they look more like demons?" Lu Mingfei looked at the crowd that was like a black tide. Each of their faces was hidden behind the firelight, their foreheads and eyes were red from the scorching flames, as if they were filled with blood; their mouths were hidden in the darkness behind the light, secretly curling up a cold smile.

"Brother, you are right. You finally understand. They are the ones who deserve to die! They are the devils!" Lu Mingze's voice echoed in Lu Mingfei's ears. He shouted happily, but his voice was immediately drowned out by the thunderous curses.

"Brother, this is your spiritual vision. In your spiritual vision, you will only see the things that you care about most. I am very happy that this is the scene that you care about most." Lu Mingze said with relief.

"Happy? Because I'm going to burn to death?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"I'm kidding. It's not you they want to burn to death."

"Who is that?"

"It's me!" Lu Mingze said playfully. One could imagine the boy must be sticking out his tongue and laughing. "Hey, brother, you're there."

Lu Mingfei suddenly had an idea and looked towards an inconspicuous corner in the crowd.

It turned out that he was standing in the huge crowd, like a tiny stone thrown into the sea.

"What's on the cross?"

"Of course it's me! Brother, I can feel sad for you this time, but next time I won't be able to help you..."

Lu Mingze spoke softly, as if telling Lu Mingfei: I am the only one in the world who stands by your side and can share your sorrow, but after I leave, you will be alone, so please bear it silently!

Lu Mingfei regained consciousness. He was surrounded by a crowd of people, blinded by anger and murderous intent. They held blazing torches high in their hands. The flames of dry grass and kerosene crackled, and Lu Mingfei's heart crackled with it...

...as if it were broken into pieces.

Looking up from the cross and looking down from the cross are two completely opposite feelings. The former is hidden in the crowd, and no matter how loud you shout, you will be immediately swallowed up by the crowded crowd; while the latter is high above, looking down on all living beings, but being despised by everyone.

Lu Mingfei looked up and saw Lu Mingze nailed high on the cross. Lu Mingze was also looking at Lu Mingfei in the crowd. They looked at each other across the sea of ​​people.

"Kill him! Burn to death this demon who has already fallen into the abyss!" someone shouted excitedly.

Then countless torches began to be thrown at the foot of the cross. Lu Mingfei wanted to stop them but his body was twisted by the crazy crowd!

He shouted "Stop" and "No", but no one responded.

"I'm very happy." Lu Mingze's limbs were nailed to the cross, and blood fell like poppy petals. "I'm very happy, because it turns out that my death is the most unforgettable scene for you. It's okay, brother. I feel much better this time because you are here."

Lu Mingze spoke softly, saying he was happy with a smile on his face, but Lu Mingfei could clearly hear the tears and pain he was trying so hard to hide in his words.

The fire spread rapidly, as if it was going to burn through the sky. Soon it reached the top of the cross. Lu Mingze's entire body was bathed in the sea of ​​fire. The flames passed through his body, burning his still beating heart. His beautiful golden eyes were as dim as a candle that was about to burn out.

"No! No! Don't burn him! Please!"

"He's in so much pain! Can't you see he's about to burn to death?"

"You are the devil! You are the devil who kills without blinking an eye!"

Lu Mingfei seemed to be suffering from a burning heart. The pain in his chest was so severe that he could not stand. He fell to his knees and screamed hysterically until his throat was hoarse.

"Brother...even if you are alone, you must live strong..."

Lu Mingze uttered his last words weakly, and slowly closed his exhausted golden eyes. The last ray of light in his pupils was completely extinguished.

Red snow began to fall from the sky. The firelight illuminated the sky, baking it crimson. The air was thick with the smell of blood. People ran around, hugging each other, raising their arms and cheering morbidly, as if they were welcoming some grand festival. Thousands of people were celebrating!

Only Lu Mingfei... He knelt on the ground, clutching his aching heart with one hand, weeping with endless sorrow, weeping with a broken heart...

The boy looked utterly helpless.

The fiery red snowflakes fell on his face and melted into water droplets, which slowly dripped down his cheeks like bloody tears.

Lu Mingfei looked at the empty top of the cross. His heart seemed to be torn out, leaving it empty. His eyes were dull and his lips were trembling, as if he was saying something silently.

Next time, let me be the monster... Next time, it's your turn to live...

Lu Mingfei's tears had long dried up, but red snowflakes were still falling.

The world is crying for this boy.

……

"Ming Fei...Ming Fei..."

A familiar voice called out to Lu Mingfei, who slowly opened his eyes and saw Professor Guderian, Chu Zihang and Finkel looking at him with concern.

The clanging sound continued, and the view outside the window was a sea of ​​red.

"Fire...fire!"

Lu Mingfei suddenly stood up, leaned on the window like a madman, and looked out.

Upon seeing this, Finkel rushed forward and hugged Lu Mingfei around the waist with his bear-like body to prevent him from jumping out of the window in despair.

This is an express train that travels at 200 kilometers per hour. Jumping out of the window at this speed is tantamount to suicide. Even if you land on soft soil, inertia will still exist, and the huge friction will crush you into a pool of meat paste!

"There's no fire, my little ancestor. Take another look!" Finkel said unhappily.

Lu Mingfei blinked.

The lush, dreamy red maple forest receded before his eyes like a scene from a movie. Beautiful blue migratory birds, whose names he couldn't place, roosted in the trees. The red and green mountains stretched as far as the eye could see, like a giant, prone dragon...

They are galloping on the back of a dragon!

Chapter 23 Memory Bias

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Professor Guderian asked with concern and handed Lu Mingfei a tissue.

"A nightmare... I guess so." Lu Mingfei shook his head vigorously. It felt heavy and painful, and it was shaking "duangduang", as if half of the Pacific Ocean's water was filled in it.

He looked up at Professor Guderian, took the tissue blankly, and then looked down at his crotch.

It’s not wet, so why give yourself a tissue?

Chu Zihang kindly pointed at the corner of Lu Mingfei's eyes, indicating that there were still tears on his face. He was also helpless. He admired his junior in all aspects, but sometimes he was too out of touch.

"We should be arriving at the college soon. Let's finish the pre-admission guidance, Professor." Lu Mingfei wiped his face and took the initiative to say to Professor Guderian.

"Huh? Didn't the admissions counseling end ten minutes ago?" Professor Guderian asked in confusion.

"Is it over?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.

The admissions counseling was over? When? Didn't Lu Mingze appear after signing the confidentiality agreement and then he fell into a dream?

Shouldn't Professor Guderian have opened the painting of Nighold next and told himself that there are actually dragons in this world? Not only dragons, but also a group of little dragon people who specialize in studying "dragons" for the purpose of slaying dragons - to be precise, half-bloods - who are gathered in the mental hospital called Kassel Academy that they are about to arrive at.

Lu Mingfei had already prepared a bunch of nonsense to deal with Professor Guderian in order to appear more "normal", such as:

"Wow, there are dragons in this world. Does that mean there are also heroes and princesses? So, is Kassel Academy a fairy tale publishing house?"

or:

"Are you sure you're talking about dragons and not lizards? Compared to your story about the Four Great Kings, I think the conspiracy theory that the President of the United States is a lizard man sounds more plausible!"

Otherwise, acting too calm would seem illogical, wouldn't it? I couldn't just frankly say, "Yes, I'm a prophet. I've dreamt everything I've seen so far. Not only that, I'll become the secret party's sharpest weapon against the dragon clan..."

It would be fine if others thought he was a fool, but if the secret party really wanted to investigate him, he would definitely be arrested and locked up in an ice cellar as a research subject!

Lu Mingfei does not completely trust Kassel College.

In other words, Lu Mingfei completely distrusts the top management of Kassel College - the Board of Directors!

That group of ancient and mysterious lunatics hid themselves in the darkness, and everyone was a chess piece at their mercy. In their eyes, everyone was just being exploited.

Give orders when needed and decisively abandon them when they are useless!

How many good people are there among those who dream of wrestling with dragons and snatching the world from monsters all day long?

"So, professor, how was my performance during the admissions counseling?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.

He suspected that he had memory problems.

"You were calmer than any other student I've ever met. When you heard there were dragons in the world, you simply said 'Oh!' Your whole body exuded the aura of 'It's just a dragon. In the eyes of an S-rank Lu Mingfei, it's no different from a larger reptile.' This kind of indifference was simply amazing!"

Professor Guderian raised his thumbs up with great enthusiasm, praising the dominance of "S"-level Lu Mingfei.

"and then?"

"Then after the tutoring was over, you fell asleep. Then you seemed to have dreamed of something bad, and kept muttering things like 'Don't kill him' and 'You are all demons'. Then you burst into tears." Professor Guderian scratched his gray hair.

He could understand Lu Mingfei not remembering what happened after he fell asleep, but why did he also forget the admissions counseling session before he fell asleep? Could this be what the Chinese call "sleeping in a trance"?

"Professor, do you think the principal is mistaken? Maybe this kid is not an 'S' level at all, so when he heard the news about the 'dragon' just now, he was not calm, but was scared silly!" Finkel whispered in Professor Guderian's ear.

"Even if you are stupid, Lu Mingfei will not be stupid." Chu Zihang glanced at Finkel, his eyes cold and full of warning.

Finkel shrank his bear-like body and smiled awkwardly.

You are the president of the Lionheart Society, a big shot, I can't afford to offend you, whatever you say is what I do!

"Are you okay, Mingfei?" Professor Guderian asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay. I just had a nightmare and was confused in my sleep. I'm fine now." Lu Mingfei decided not to dwell on the admissions counseling.

Anyway, in terms of his understanding of the dragon clan and Kassel Academy, he probably knows more about it than the old man Professor Guderian.

Lu Mingfei knew very well that in the world of mixed-bloods, the older people were, the more cunning they were, and each one was more like a fox than the other. Guderian was one of the few old men who didn't have any scheming thoughts, so Lu Mingfei didn't dislike him.

On the contrary, Lu Mingfei thought his "Kassel No. 1" look was so innocent and cute.

"Just relax." Professor Guderian patted his chest and took a deep breath.

After all, Lu Mingfei is his only hope at this stage of becoming a lifetime honorary professor at Kassel College!

If something really went wrong with Lu Mingfei, he would give up his position as a senior professor at Harvard University and come to Kassel College to be a cowardly temporary professor for the rest of his life, staring at Finkel all day long. He would be laughed at by his best friend Professor Manstein for the rest of his life!

"Then do you still remember what I just reminded you about, that the principal suggested you take the '3E' exam earlier?" Professor Guderian asked.

"My '3E' exam is going to be moved forward? When?" Lu Mingfei obviously had no idea.

The “3E” exam is the general name for the abbreviation EEE of Extraction Evaluation Exam, which means “lineage rating exam”.

The "3E" exam is mainly used to identify students' dragon bloodline, because dragon descendants will resonate with "dragon characters", and when they resonate, they will produce the effect of "clairvoyance", that is, they will naturally see dragon characters appear in their minds, or hallucinations will appear in their subconscious.

Students who are not sensitive enough to Longwen will be downgraded after taking the "3E" exam, and those with poor grades will even be expelled.

"Tomorrow morning." Professor Guderian's face turned worried again. "Mingfei, are you okay?"

"Tomorrow, of course... no problem!" Lu Mingfei grinned.

This piece of news was exactly what he wanted. Even if Professor Guderian had not informed him, Lu Mingfei had wanted to propose the idea of ​​taking the "3E" exam in advance.

In the past three years, he has done all the preparations he could, including knowledge, kendo, and physical fitness... all that remains is a race against time.

This time he will hold on to power and authority tightly!

Chapter 24 Enrollment

The CC1000 express train roared out of the sea of ​​crimson maple leaves.

The mist in the mountains kisses the haze, and the intricate winding mountain road extends from the foot of the mountain to a large area of ​​European-style buildings halfway up the mountain, like the otherworldly castle where the prince and princess live in Grimm's fairy tales.

Thousands of towering ancient trees stand in the forest, and every old leaf swaying in the wind hides a secret that has been lonely and untold for a hundred years.

The floating clouds are very three-dimensional and low-hanging, like cotton candy that God has carefully kneaded and stuffed here, floating among the mountains and forests; the sunlight pierces the sky and shines on the earth, making the Gothic dome shine brightly.

"Well, it really has the flavor of the old castles in the medieval noble fiefdoms in fairy tales!" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the medieval castle-like building from afar.

What should he do? Although the story in the dream was told in detail, there were no illustrations. Lu Mingfei could only rely on his own imagination to imagine the people and things he would encounter. This alone killed countless brain cells in him!
