Chapter 133 Are you interested in accompanying me to bask in the moonlight?
Because it was too late, the courier did not provide door-to-door service, so Sakura delivered the surprise personally?
Eri blinked her beautiful, rare red eyes, her gaze fixed on the beautiful platinum duck pendant, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
She smiled.
Even though that smile was like an almost extinguished glow in the snowy field, faint and cold.
But in Lu Mingfei's eyes, it was just like the first gentle warm breeze in spring, gently blowing across the clear mirror-like lake, creating ripples that touched the soul.
At this moment, the red-haired girl in a white dress who was standing at the edge of the crowd and looking at the proposal scene gradually overlapped with the girl in a pink nightgown holding a samurai sword.
But soon, he realized that the girl in front of him was the head of the Uesugi family, not Chen Xiyuan.
The look she gave him was filled with curiosity, not love.
She wouldn't suddenly run into his arms and act coquettishly, nor would she suddenly jump on his back and hang on him like a koala, and she wouldn't lean over to take a bite when he was eating, or snatch a bite from him if the food was delicious.
Eri couldn't tell what the boy opposite her was thinking. She just stared at the pendant hanging in his hand, put the samurai sword in her hand aside, and stretched out her fair little hand to gently hold it in her palm.
The body of the duck pendant is made of platinum, but the wings are brilliant gold, with "Eri's Duck" carved on them with delicate brushstrokes.
The girl saw the words on the wings clearly, and a bright color flashed in her eyes. She raised her head and looked at the boy who was standing in front of the door with a smile on his face.
"A gift for you," he said.
She is actually a girl with a strong possessiveness and likes to mark her things. When Airi was just born, she wanted to use a marker to write "Chen Xiyuan & Lu Mingfei's baby".
Fortunately, he discovered and stopped it, and finally made a longevity lock and hung it on the child, which slightly satisfied her obsession.
So when he asked Jiude Mai to help prepare a gift, he specifically asked for this line of words.
The effect of catering to someone's preferences was very significant, and Eri accepted the gift with great joy.
She looked at the beautiful duck pendant and hung it directly around her slender neck. The shining gold made her fair skin look even more delicate.
The girl ran excitedly to the mirror in front of the closet, looked at the cute little duck, then quickly ran back as if she remembered something, grabbed Lu Mingfei's hand and led him into the door.
She was quite strong, so she led Lu Mingfei to sit in front of the huge LCD TV connected to the PS3 and stuffed a game controller into his hand.
At this moment, Eri completely forgot her brother's instructions and was only thinking about having a hearty game of Street Fighter 4 with Lu Mingfei offline.
However, before she pressed the power switch, Lu Mingfei stopped her in time:
"Wait, I have something to tell you."
"?" Eri didn't say anything, but just tilted her head to look at him.
Lu Mingfei raised his hand and scratched his cheek, trying his best to adjust his tone to make it sound steady and normal, not like those frivolous scumbags with ill intentions who preyed on innocent girls:
"Well, on my way here just now, I noticed that the floor you live on doesn't seem to have any view of the stars, moon, or sun. Are you interested in going outside with me to bask in the moonlight?"
When she heard "outside", Eri's delicate and pretty face, which had returned to its inherent cold and aloof look, froze.
Then, her rosy red eyes blossomed with an unusually brilliant color, and she stared at Lu Mingfei like a little rabbit that had escaped from a cage, as if to make sure whether he was lying or not.
Lu Mingfei nodded, and the innocent girl immediately believed this bold netizen who sneaked into her bedroom in the middle of the night.
She stood up and ran quickly to the closet, picked out a shrine maiden costume and walked into the inner room, her steps filled with an excitement that was difficult to conceal.
It seemed like she had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and Lu Mingfei's arrival finally made her determined to leave this cage without seeing the light.
Watching her back disappear into the inner room, Lu Mingfei withdrew his reluctant gaze and looked around this simple and elegant wooden house.
Simple and clean, there seems to be no more appropriate adjective.
On the wall are the three most famous gods in Japan, namely Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susanoo.
Amaterasu holds the Yasaka Nyonaka Jade and bathes in the sunlight, Tsukuyomi holds the Eight-foot Mirror and stands in the dark night sky, and Susanoo, as a young male god, holds the divine sword Ame-no-Kurokumo and stands on the corpse of the eight-headed dragon.
These three statues seemed to have some metaphors. Lu Mingfei suspected that their existence hinted at the lofty status of the Inner Three Families among the Eight Families of Sheqi.
So who are Izanagi and Izanami?
Ancestors of Japanese mixed-race people?
Lu Mingfei was too lazy to think about it or care about it. He just wanted to take Eiry away from this dark little room as soon as possible.
From the inner room came the sound of rustling clothes, like the whisper of breeze through leaves in the morning light. Then, a cute little red-haired witch who looked as delicate as a doll slowly opened the door and gracefully walked into his sight.
Her flaming red hair falls softly to her waist. Her face is as delicate as a painting, her skin is as white as snow, and her eyes are like an amber mirror that seems to reflect the true self deep in one's heart.
The red and white shrine maiden costume added a sense of holiness to the cold-hearted girl. Lu Mingfei instantly recalled the time when she dragged him to the comic convention to cosplay.
To sum it up in one sentence: There is always Diao Mao who is thinking about my queen.
If byd doesn’t have a girlfriend, go find one instead. You’re always thinking about my wife!
Eri is mine!
The little red-haired witch walked up to Lu Mingfei, holding a notebook in her hand: "Let's go."
Looking at the beautiful handwriting, Lu Mingfei frowned slightly: "Aren't you taking your baby with you? If we go out to play, we won't be back so soon."
He knew that she had a collection of many small toys, and when he first visited her boudoir, he was invited to play a superhero and monster house game that was childish for children but just right for adults.
Later, when she decided to marry and move to China, she packed up her toys carefully, sent them over by private plane, and personally stayed by her side to watch over them the whole time.
Later on, she didn't play with her little toys much anymore. After all, she had a husband who was more fun and a daughter who was ten thousand times cuter than the dolls.
Upon hearing that they would be away for a while, Eiry reacted immediately, opened the closet, took out a cardboard box and stuffed it into Lu Mingfei's hand.
There are all kinds of dolls in the box, including Ultraman in a fighting stance, monsters with bared fangs and claws, rubber ducks, plush bears, big black rats that might be warned by the strongest legal department in the Western Hemisphere, Doraemon who is afraid of mice, and Hello Kitty wearing a hairpin and a skirt...
Without exception, all of them have the words "Eri xxx" written on them, which is no different from her in her previous life.
She seemed to have extraordinary trust in this uninvited netizen who showed up in the middle of the night, and even put such a precious thing in her hands.
Lu Mingfei felt that his brother-in-law was indeed putting official duties above personal ones and did not even teach Eri any sense of precaution.
What if there is a thief in the house? It's really...
Forget it, considering that he was the thief, he decided to save some face for his brother-in-law.
“Why don’t you bring some spare clothes?” Lu Mingfei asked casually. It had been a long time since the security door failure was reported. That old fellow Tachibana Masamune would definitely send someone to check it out. They had to retreat quickly.
Eri thought about it, then took out two shrine maiden costumes from the closet and two sets of underwear and threw them on the box, then excitedly took the lead and walked in front.
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw the lace underwear so close to him. He quickly used the witch's clothes to help wrap it up and followed after him.
Outside the vault door, Old Tang had piled the medical staff who had unfortunately been shot and were unconscious in a corner, and was now standing at the console, frowning and studying something.
Hearing footsteps in the corridor, he turned around and saw a red-haired, red-eyed priestess holding a crimson samurai sword walking out of the door. Her delicate and flawless face was covered with layers of frost.
The two sides were both stunned when they looked at each other, and then Old Tang immediately realized that something was wrong. He raised his gun and was about to ask who this red-haired witch was and what had happened to Mingming.
At first, Eri didn't think anything of it when she saw Old Tang. After all, he was wearing the uniform of the Executive Bureau, so she thought he was her brother's subordinate.
But when Old Tang raised his gun and she saw the medical staff gathered in the corner, her eyes, which still showed the barely perceptible joy she had when she ran away from home, were instantly covered with frost.
After confirming through eye contact, I know it’s the bad guy my brother was talking about!
Almost at the same time when Old Tang raised his gun, Eri also raised the samurai sword in her hand. At this moment of tension, Lu Mingfei appeared in time and grabbed Eri's hand and pressed the sword down:
"Misunderstanding, we are all one family!"
He knew there might be a misunderstanding, so he hurried to catch up, and sure enough, something almost happened.
Seeing Lu Mingfei safe and sound, Old Tang breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, Eiry looked like a witch who slayed demons and killed all the villains. Just by looking at her appearance and expression, Old Tang felt that the bullets he shot would be cut down by the opponent in mid-air.
After a brief moment of nervousness, I was filled with admiration:
"Mingming, you're so good. You managed to get her out so quickly? I thought you were just bragging, but I didn't expect you were serious."
"When have I ever boasted? Let's not talk about anything else for now. Let's go quickly so that we don't get blocked by the people from the Eight Clans of Sheqi."
Lu Mingfei held the box in one hand and grasped the slender hand of the red-haired witch with the other. He did not have time to explain more and walked out with a few friends.
Eri was led forward in a daze, her eyes unconsciously falling on the boy's hand, and she felt a warmth she had never felt before.
No one had ever held her hand like this before. It wasn't very forceful, but it was like a drowning person grabbing a lifeline, or a person abandoned by his own life grabbing his own world, making it difficult to break free.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Zero, whose presence was very low, silently raised his head and looked at the figure pulling the little red-haired witch forward. His vision blurred for a moment, as if he saw two young boys and girls holding hands and staggering forward against the wind in the snowy field.
But soon, the illusion disappeared, she tightened the metal box in her arms and followed him.
Old Tang walked at the end and asked if the girl needed help, but was silently rejected.
As the four of them walked to the steel passage, the airtight door behind them suddenly closed automatically, and the steel gate in front of them also fell down with a loud bang!
At the same time, a giant roar came from the ceiling. It was a high-power exhaust fan in operation. It was working at full capacity to try to drain the air from this steel passage!
Hearing the rumbling sound, Lu Mingfei's face became extremely ugly.
At this moment, he finally understood why this passage needed to be reinforced with stainless steel. The door of the medical room at the end was also an airtight door. The one "protecting" Eri would be a giant metal door comparable to a bank vault.
He originally thought that this was all to prevent foreign invasion, but when he thought about it carefully, these things were more like some kind of internal defense than defending against the enemy!
The Eight Snake Families are trying to prevent Eri from escaping!
Although she looked good, obedient and easy to deceive, the Eight Snake Clan seemed to regard her as a scourge and tried every means to trap her in that wooden house that never sees the sun!
These damn bastards! The exhaust fan was roaring, and Old Tang had already noticed the change in the air. If it continued like this, the air pressure here would be so low that it would be suffocating in just ten minutes! "Quick, Mingming, use the cheats."
The noise they made on this floor must have been noticed by someone, and there might be someone hiding behind a surveillance camera, silently watching the movements of the group of four.
However, Old Tang was not sure whether those interstellar cheats could lift the safety gate weighing several tons again, so he could only hope that Mingming could perform beyond his normal level.
In anger, Lu Mingfei let go of Eri's hand. He took two steps forward to the gate and was about to go against his principles and throw out the cheating code again, but a cool little hand grabbed him again.
Then, a long crimson knife was unsheathed and slowly stabbed into the steel safety gate.
The girl's movements were clumsy, like a child playing with a toy knife, without the precision and speed of her previous life.
But at the moment when the crimson long knife stabbed out, an invisible shock wave spread from the tip of the knife and spread towards the gate in front.
The moment the tip of the knife touched the steel gate, the creaking sound of twisting metal was heard, and under the stunned gaze of Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang, the gate that blocked their way began to deform strangely.
Although it was not particularly obvious, the door was indeed being destroyed bit by bit.
The girl poked the security gate with a knife with an expressionless face, and her cold eyes seemed to reveal that no one could stop her determination to run away from home.
With a loud bang, the indestructible steel gate shattered under the girl's continuous output for two seconds. Thick metal fragments shot out and smashed the next section of the passage.
Old Tang swallowed his saliva and wanted to say, "You are obviously very brave."
Those who know that you have seduced and run away the head of one of the Eight Sheqi Families, while those who don’t know would think that you have abducted the strategic weapons of the Eight Sheqi Families.
Of course, now is not the time to talk about this. The most urgent thing is to run away as soon as possible.
Before, Old Tang was not sure whether the actions of himself and others had been noticed by the Eight Clans of Sheqi, but now he dared to guarantee that everyone in the entire building must have been alarmed!
“Run!”
Old Tang held a Colt in each hand and rushed forward, with the remaining three following closely behind.
Lu Mingfei hugged Eri's toy box with his arm and held her hand with his other hand. He didn't expect things to turn out so dramatically.
The desire of this little witch to run away from home was so strong that she might have been planning it in her mind for who knows how long, so she just tore down the door in excitement.
Another safety door appeared in front, but this time it was no longer a gate. Old Tang thought that he was lucky and he was also a StarCraft player, so he shouted "Lockdown" before Lu Mingfei and then kicked it.
With a "bang", he fell to the ground holding his leg, trembling in pain.
Lu Mingfei looked at him speechlessly, hooked his toes on the safety door that was kicked off by Old Tang just now, and gently pulled it back. The door opened directly: "This is a one-way door, you got it the wrong way."
"I didn't notice." Old Tang rubbed his leg, feeling lucky that he didn't use his shoulder to bump into the opponent like in American movies, otherwise his handsome face would have been crooked.
However, this attempt made him satisfied. It turned out that this metal door could be opened by more than one person. As expected, Miss Jiude had successfully sneaked into Kaguya's computer room and implanted the virus. It seemed that the escape would not be difficult in the future.
Thinking of this, he overtook the car from behind again, shouting the technology code all the way to open the safety door.
Eiry didn't understand the reason, but Lu Mingfei held the same view as Lao Tang, thinking that it was Jude Mai who acted alone and helped behind the scenes.
However, only Zero, who was left at the end, knew the truth. She looked at Ronald Tang with a slightly complicated look, but it soon disappeared, and she followed quickly, carefully holding the metal box in her arms.
The things inside were what she had searched out from the doctor's memory fragments and were extremely valuable.
The four of them rushed forward and soon returned to the passage that was as dense as a spider web and as chaotic as a maze. At this time, Lao Tang's role as a senior hunter was reflected.
He had been exploring in strange tombs for many years, and he could basically remember the route after walking it once. Now he took the lead and ran wildly in the direction he came from.
During this period, several tightly closed doors of rooms that were thought to be uninhabited were suddenly opened, and several sleepy-eyed people walked out.
Before they could ask who was making such a loud noise in the important area of the Sheqi Eight Clans, Old Tang had already emptied his magazine.
He has lived in the United States for many years and often goes to the shooting range to practice shooting for missions. His shooting skills are actually not bad, but they are slightly inferior to Lu Mingfei's abnormal skills. The title of human body outlining master cannot be given to him.
Before he raised his gun and shot the "residents" who were suspected to be medical staff, Lu Mingfei wanted to explain to Eiry that the gun was loaded with anesthetic bullets and would not cause any harm to her doctors and nurses.
However, when his gaze turned to the girl's face, he was suddenly stunned, because she was still cold and indifferent.
It was as if the lives of those people had nothing to do with her, and she felt as if she had never met them before.
Recalling the surveillance footage, she lost consciousness after drinking something that was suspected to be laced with sedatives or sleeping pills, and was carried away by Yuan Zhisheng. Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that perhaps Eiry had never come into contact with medical staff while awake.
This made him ponder what was so scary about this girl next to him, who looked soft and cute but could actually smash a several-ton steel gate into pieces with one knife.
He subconsciously pinched the slender hand in his hand, which immediately attracted the attention of the little red-haired witch. She raised her head and looked at him, as if asking what was wrong.
Lu Mingfei stared at her long, smooth hair that was running and dancing, and her skirt that was as gorgeous as red cherry blossoms blooming in the morning light. He couldn't help but shake his head slightly, with a smile on his face: "It feels like we are eloping."
