From Hokage to Visionary

No, rather than calling it a 'sword', it is more like the skeleton of some creature. It is as white as jade, with a slender blade and a flat blade, just like a fine work of art.

It does not look like a sword that dominates killing, but rather more like a jade artifact forged from the essence of heaven and earth, with supernatural craftsmanship that is beyond human power.

"I seem to have seen this thing somewhere." Caesar looked at the 'sword' in the man's hand, frowning, and tried hard to recall where he had seen it in his mind.

"Ama-kun, its name is Ama-kun."

At this time, Lu Mingfei stared at the 'sword' and said in a low voice: "Legend has it that Susanoo killed the Yamata no Orochi, and then found a divine sword named 'Ame-no-Kume' in his tailbone. It is the sharpest divine sword in the world. I should have thought of it earlier. Only you are worthy of 'Ame-no-Kume'."

Yes, Caesar and Chu Zihang suddenly recalled the origin of the "sword".

"Uesugi Eri."

Lu Mingfei had a complicated expression. He looked up at the figure in yellow clothes standing on the street lamp and said, "I guessed right."

Judgment, the girl, Ame Murakami. Combining all the clues, even a fool would be able to guess it.

"But, why?" Chu Zihang's pupils trembled, and his mind went blank: "Isn't Uesugi Eriya with the White King?"

Caesar also wanted to know this question.

After the mission in Japan was completed, they were basically the only ones who knew that Adam = White King.

As for the relationship between Uesugi Eri and Adam, they had all seen it at that time. Although she disappeared for a long time afterwards, she was almost tacitly followed by Adam by Castle.

Wait, Adam?

Caesar and Chu Zihang suddenly looked at each other and saw each other's shocked expressions.

After the mission in Japan, Adam disappeared completely from school, and no one knew where he had gone. But if we consider the present moment, Uesugi Eri inexplicably joined the Secret Society wearing a yellow robe, and appeared here, there might be only one possibility.

"Could the White King have fallen?" Caesar swallowed and expressed his guess.

Otherwise, it is hard to imagine why Uesugi Erii, who was beside the White King Adam, suddenly changed into a member of the secret society.

It can't be that the Secret Society was founded by the White King?

The moment this thought came to mind, Caesar suppressed it and shook his head to deny it.

It's impossible. The purpose of the secret society is to summon the 'King in Yellow', the lord of the deep space star sea who is sleeping in Carcosa. He has seen him in his dream. He has nothing to do with the White King!

Then the only possibility is that the White King encountered the 'Secret Society' somewhere and then fell silently.

And Uesugi Erie was controlled by the Secret Society and became its puppet.

Yes, that’s definitely the case!

Caesar sorted out all his thoughts in his mind and then told the two of them his ideas.

"hiss--!"

Lu Mingfei took a breath of cold air.

He is not like Caesar and Lu Mingfei, who once speculated that the Adam in the academy might have some connection with that 'Adam'.

But now it seems that the whole context of the incident is very clear.

When they first met, 'Adam' told him and Lu Mingze that deep in the vast universe, there were many terrifying existences unknown to mankind.

Those ancient gods who have existed since before the birth of the universe have been coveting this planet all the time.

It was that 'Adam' who, in a place invisible to humans, alone resisted the 'terror' from the depths of the starry sky, and the Adam in the academy was the victim of this confrontation.

Even sacrificing a 'Dragon King' is not enough to stop the 'Secret Order'?

At this moment, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

That 'Adam' was protecting the entire world in secret, even at the cost of sacrificing a Dragon King for this purpose, but he still couldn't stop the 'terror' in the depths of the starry sky. What kind of existence was that?

Is it really something that humans can stop? !

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but have deep doubts.

"If this is true, the Secret Society is too terrifying!" Chu Zihang, who was standing aside, felt increasingly depressed: "We must report this matter to the academy as soon as possible!"

"Let's first think of a way to overcome the current difficulties!"

Caesar murmured, because he saw that the man raised the 'Ame-kun' which was as white as jade.

Om-!

The sacred and inviolable territory suddenly expanded, directly causing layers of strong winds and waves.

With Uesugi Erie as the center, the air visible to the naked eye was pushed away, intensifying, and engulfing everything around it like a tsunami.

In an instant, the world in the eyes of Lu Mingfei and others seemed to turn into a dead gray.

The rain falling from the sky seemed to be slowed down countless times, dragging a clear falling trajectory. The noisy sound faded away, and the whole world seemed to be paused.

There was only a girl walking in the rain, like a god.

Her slender hands held the crystal-like jade sword, and in front of everyone's eyes, she moved lightly and slowly, cutting with clear and bright trajectory.

I’m going to die!

At this moment, this was the only thought left in Lu Mingfei and the others' minds.

The suffocating feeling of oppression, wrapped in the sharp sword intent, seemed to be about to reopen the world, making people feel that there was no escape.

However, at this moment.

The man wearing a pale mask, a yellow robe, and holding 'Ame Murakumo' suddenly stopped.

It was as if someone was whispering in his ear, and the sacred and inviolable spiritual realm that enveloped Lu Mingfei and others suddenly collapsed and disintegrated.

The rain curtain that was cut off by the "cut" suddenly resumed its flow.

The paused world seemed to have pressed the 'start' button again. The rain fell violently, like a curtain raising water mist. The noisy sounds gradually returned. They were still alive!

For a moment, Lu Mingfei felt that he was doomed.

Even after experiencing such ups and downs, my heart still couldn't stop beating wildly. It was hundreds of times more exciting than skydiving without a parachute!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 398 Don’t leave me, Lu Mingze!

Those who had luckily escaped the disaster finally put their minds at ease until 'Uesugi Eriya' disappeared.

It was so dangerous. The three of them were almost going to meet "God".

Even though Caesar had experienced many hardships, his back was wet with cold sweat. He said to the two men with lingering fear: "Hurry up, we can't stay here. Although we don't know why 'she' stopped, if she comes back again, we won't be so lucky!"

This proposal was instantly approved by Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang.

No matter why Uesugi Eriya became a puppet of the secret society, it was a great blessing to be able to save her life.

"Come up!"

Lu Mingfei carried Caesar on his shoulders and ran away.

The remaining Jiude Mai could only be handed over to Chu Zihang. He shook his head helplessly, carefully carried her on his back, and then followed with the "Seven Deadly Sins".

Caesar was on his shoulder, feeling dizzy and almost vomiting his dinner, but he managed to hold it back in order to preserve the last bit of his aristocratic dignity.

Although he had just fought a fierce battle, Lu Mingfei's physical strength was surprisingly abundant.

Even Chu Zihang, who was following behind, felt like he was about to fall behind, and couldn't help but ask, "Is that enough? We've run far enough!"

"That's it."

Lu Mingfei found a secluded place and kicked open the door.

Fortunately, there was no one inside, otherwise what would be the difference between breaking into a private residence and being a bandit?

Caesar breathed a sigh of relief, and then was thrown to the ground by Lu Mingfei. He grimaced in pain and asked, "Can you be a little gentler?"

"Sorry, I'll be more careful next time." Lu Mingfei sat aside, breathing heavily.

"What should we do now?" Chu Zihang carefully placed Jiude Mai on the bed. Like Lu Mingfei, he sat cross-legged and analyzed the current situation: "Frost, I don't know if I can still trust him. Xia Mi and Nuonuo have also been kidnapped."

"No, the Gattuso family is connected to the Secret Society!" Caesar said weakly, "What's going on with Nono and Xia Mi?"

Chu Zihang was silent for a moment, and then told everything that had happened.

Caesar's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I can probably guess their purpose."

As he spoke, he took out the black leather book wrapped in silk cloth and said in a serious tone: "This is why I betrayed Gattuso. The Secret Society attempted to summon a very terrifying existence according to the ritual above. Xia Mi and Nono are probably the chosen sacrifices."

Sacrifice?!

Lu Mingfei frowned, it was exactly as he thought.

Mr. Adam was temporarily at a disadvantage in the battle with the Secret Society, and even lost a Dragon King, otherwise the Secret Society would not have been so successful.

"Do you have any idea?"

Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei.

For some reason, he always felt that this 'junior' seemed to know a lot of things.

Regarding the mysterious secret order that is planning to set up a ritual to summon the 'King in Yellow', perhaps there should be a solution?

"I I don't know"

Lu Mingfei lowered his head in confusion.

He couldn't tell them that it was not only Xia Mi and Nuonuo who disappeared, but also his little devil!

Caesar turned to look at Chu Zihang and said, "Let's try first to see if we can contact the academy and tell the principal what's going on here."

Now, they are like a lost dog. Although Rome is big, they have nowhere to stay.

"Okay, I'll try." Chu Zihang took out the mobile phone he carried with him and dialed the emergency contact number of Norma.

However, the enemy seemed to have anticipated this and cut off the signal directly.

"No, I can't get in touch with you."

After trying several times and failing to get through, Chu Zihang had no choice but to give up and shook his head.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Frost who did it."

Caesar smiled bitterly. Apart from his 'uncle', who else could be so powerful as to cut off the signal of an entire city?

"Regarding contacting the academy, I'll try other methods."

Chu Zihang thought for a moment and said, "Cutting off the signal of an entire city will definitely not last long, and it will definitely attract Norma's attention."

"it is good."

Caesar nodded and agreed with his opinion.

"Let's take a break for now."

Lu Mingfei bandaged Jiude Mai's wound, and then said to the two of them, "There are less than five hours left until dawn. Chu Zihang and I will take turns on night watch tonight, so you should get some rest. There will be a big battle tomorrow, and you are an indispensable fighting force."

"Thank you for your hard work." Caesar nodded and did not argue with the two of them. After all, he really needed to rest.

"I'll guard the first shift."

Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang and said, "After two hours, you come and replace me."

"Ah."

Chu Zihang was always quick in his movements. He found a corner and curled up.

Soon, the room fell silent, with only the sound of gentle breathing. Lu Mingfei quietly came outside, sat on the edge of the top floor, and looked at the city quietly.

Lu Mingfei, who was immersed in his own world, suddenly seemed to see an illusion.

Deep in the dark church, a pale boy was nailed to the cross. Blood flowed down his body and gathered into complex and profound patterns on the altar below.

Lu Mingfei stood in front of the boy, his face filled with deep fear.

He knew the boy nailed to the cross. His name was Lu Mingze. He was his own little devil!

Lu Mingze, who seemed to be dead, slowly opened his eyes. His pupils shone with gorgeous gold, exuding a terrifying aura.

But the moment she saw Lu Mingfei, those majestic golden eyes suddenly became much softer, with a dependent look like a kitten.

"Brother, you are finally here."

A very forced and weak smile appeared on Lu Mingze's pale and bloodless face.

"Xiao Lu Ming Ze, how could you become like this?!"
