Chapter 183 Brother, Eat
As everyone knows, Lao Tang is a professional bounty hunter and a tomb explorer who often robs graves and engages in illegal activities.
Therefore, his alertness is actually very high.
Even when he was doing something as relaxing and pleasurable as smoking, he would not miss the opportunity to observe the outside world.
And after this observation, he found something wrong.
Among the luxury cars at the entrance of Takamagahara, there is a Cadillac equipped with anti-peep windows.
Because Lu Mingfei had previously introduced him to this magical bathing car, he had a good impression of it. Coincidentally, he remembered that when he had looked at it before, there was no such car outside Takama-ga-hara.
So the question is, where did this car come from?
He secretly observed the Cadillac through the puffs of smoke and soon determined, through a tomb explorer's intuition, that there was someone in the car.
This feeling is very mysterious, but it can really save lives underground, because no one knows whether when you open the coffin to take out the treasure, you will be met with a pair of eyes staring at you as soon as you move the coffin lid away.
When Lao Tang was posting on the Hunter website for fun, he had never seen a similar case of failure.
After hearing the information he provided, Lu Mingfei, whose attention had actually been partially on Yuan Zhinv, felt something in his heart and realized that the person in the car was definitely a key person.
Maybe with the help of that other party, I could pry open my second uncle's mouth.
Thinking of this, he took a few steps forward and whispered in Old Tang's ear.
Yuan Zhinv was mentally traumatized, and the dragon blood in her body seemed to have completely died out. Her five senses returned to the levels of ordinary people, and she could not hear what the two men were plotting at all.
He could only see Old Tang's scowl twitching, and the expression on his face became more and more dangerous.
At this time, he regretted very much why he could understand Chinese. If he couldn't understand Chinese, he wouldn't be so eager to know what they were saying.
Soon, Lu Mingfei stopped whispering and patted Lao Tang on the shoulder. The latter looked at Yuan Zhinv and smiled with a slightly obscene expression... He left the room dangerously, not forgetting to close the door.
Watching him walk away with a smile, Yuan Zhinu felt as if she saw Tom blocking Jerry in the storage room, grinning and closing the door, preparing to do something bad that was not suitable for children.
At this moment, he wanted to transform into the lion hiding in the storage room and pin Lao Tang and Lu Mingfei to the ground and beat them up.
But now he is not the Dragon King of the fierce ghosts, nor is he the extremely evil ghost Kazama Ruri, but just an ordinary boy named Genji who loves Kabuki drama in the mountains.
There was no lion hidden in his eyes.
Yuan Zhinu gritted her teeth and wanted to shout, "If you have any evil intentions, come to me, don't hurt innocent people."
But he knew that he couldn't reveal too much, otherwise the two dragons would really notice the relationship between him and Sakurai Kogure, and use her to threaten him, which would be the worst situation.
He could only pray that Sakurai Kogure would be smart enough to notice something was wrong and run away quickly.
As for the fight?
He has already experienced the power of the second generation. How can he fight against a girl like Sakurai Kogure who has only received basic fighting training and whose grasp of words is not particularly good?
Lu Mingfei kept his peripheral vision on Yuan Zhinu. The latter's gritting of teeth only lasted for a moment, but he was too thin and there was not much flesh on his face, so the gritting of teeth was clearly visible.
"Hey, that person outside couldn't be your companion, could he?" Lu Mingfei didn't know that he had been unilaterally expelled from the party by Yuan Zhinu because he could order Old Tang around. He was still persuading his second uncle to cooperate obediently: "Yuan-san, there is an old Chinese saying that a man who knows the times is a hero. I know a local friend in Tokyo, and she has a hundred ways to pry open your mouth.
I hope you will cooperate with us, and we will not treat you unfairly."
At this point, seeing that Yuan Zhinv was indifferent, he added: "I forgot to tell you that Superman is a rough man and often hits people without mercy. If your companion is injured and loses limbs or loses some random parts, we will not pay for the medical expenses."
In other words, he has not yet realized what image he and Lao Tang have in Yuan Zhinu's mind, otherwise he would definitely tell Lao Tang to smear some tomato sauce on his body before entering the house, then lick his lips, give a thumbs up and say it tastes like crispy chicken.
Gen Chitose was very anxious and wished she could transform, break free from her restraints, and rush out to let Sakurai Kogure escape.
But no matter how he called out in his heart, the evil ghost never responded to his call, and the dragon blood in his body could not squeeze out even a single drop of power.
He avoided Lu Mingfei's gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and instead stared at Eri, who was obediently eating candy and watching the show, and took the initiative to speak with a hint of hatred for her not fighting back:
"You actually colluded with the dragon clan. Aren't you afraid of disappointing your brother?"
As the closest brother, Yuan Zhinu disappointed Yuan Zhisheng once, and because of that disappointment, he paid a very painful price.
And now, Eri, who has in fact become his replacement, has taken the initiative to get together with the Dragon Clan and seems to be involved in the action against the Snake Eight Families.
If their brother knew about this, I'm afraid both Spider-Kiri and Doji-Kiri Yasunaga would cry together again.
How sad would that heart, which had already been hurt once, be?
How dare she?! Hearing this slander, Eri was a little confused. She didn't seem to know what he was talking about and didn't feel much at all.
The girl glanced at Lu Mingfei, and seeing that he had no horns on his head and no tail behind him, she continued to lick the lollipop with her little clove tongue, like a little rabbit concentrating on chewing a carrot.
Her world is pure and complex.
Although Lu Mingfei had taken the time to explain to Eri the existence of dragons and hybrids, letting her know that her power was not evil, but a "talent" that many people possess.
But for Eri, whose worldview contains a variety of races including Gundam, Ultraman, Saiyans and Force Warriors, this is just a trivial patch added to the game Earth Online that she is currently playing.
It will be the same as it should be, and you will live your life the same way. The only difference is that you don’t have to stay in that dark room anymore.
But Lu Mingfei was different. He came closer with a look of surprise, raised his hand and pressed Yuan Zhinu's forehead, wanting to make sure that his brain was not burned by the high temperature generated by Lao Tang's outburst:
"What nonsense are you talking about? How did she collude with the dragon clan?"
Eri is such a good child, but she was forced to stay in the small wooden house in the vault for so many years, and the only thing that kept her company the longest was the game console. How could she have the chance to meet the dragon clan?
Dragon Quest, or the wish-making dragon that collects all seven dragon balls?
Yuan Zhinu shook her head vigorously to shake off Lu Mingfei's hand, her eyes filled with disgust: "You can fool her but you can't fool me."
Lu Mingfei: _? "No, buddy, wait a minute!" He looked himself up and down, pointed at his harmless face that was gradually unsealing its seal, and said in a heavier tone: "You mean I am the dragon?"
"Heh." Yuan Zhinu said nothing, just sneered.
Lu Mingfei felt that something must have gone wrong, so he lit up his golden pupil and moved closer to Yuan Zhinv:
"Look at my titanium pair of Carlyle shoes and ask yourself honestly, how do I look like a dragon?"
When he was calm and composed, his golden pupils only showed a faint golden color, and did not reveal the awe-inspiring power that he had in the past.
Facing her at such close range, it's a bit unscientific that Gen Chitose couldn't even feel the slightest sense of oppression.
The dragon clan has a strict hierarchy, and the pride of the younger generation makes it impossible for them to be ordered around by members of a clan with a lower bloodline than themselves.
But Lu Mingfei's golden eyes were just like the rising sun in the east, and his gaze was calm and peaceful, without any of the intimidation that made the soul tremble when the second-generation man with scowls ignited his golden eyes.
Could it be that I misunderstood?
There is only one pure-blooded dragon? Was this annoying guy in front of me also fooled by his superb disguise?
Although it’s a little hard to imagine, it’s not impossible!
The dragons are not all idiots. In this world ruled by humans, they cannot rule the world again with just their fangs and claws. They need to rely on humans, their former slaves, to gain greater power.
"You can only prove that you are not," he said.
Some things don't need to be explained too clearly, the listeners will fill in the blanks on their own.
If Lu Mingfei had any doubts in his mind, he would use the subtle details of Old Tang's past to find evidence that the other party was not human, without Yuan Zhinu providing evidence.
If Lu Mingfei had complete trust in Old Tang and sneered at Yuan Zhinu's words, he would have planted a seed of doubt in his heart.
Lu Mingfei even knows Tsukuyomi, which means he must know the ancient secrets hidden by the Eight Snake Clans.
"Kazama Ruri" is a super hybrid, but Old Tang can easily subdue him. Lu Mingfei would have noticed the details without Yuan Zhinv telling him.
Coincidentally, Lu Mingfei had already had suspicions, but he had no concrete evidence.
What happened in the corridor just now also increased his suspicion.
But at the moment, Yuan Zhinv's credibility in his mind is far lower than that of Lao Tang. Naturally, he will not completely expel Lao Tang from the society just because of his words.
Apart from anything else, he himself had seen his lost brother in his dreams, and he also knew Jun Yan and used the cheat code...
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Can we say that he is also a dragon based on these things? What a joke! "Don't say he is not a dragon. Even if he is a dragon, he is still my brother!"
Lu Mingfei's voice was decisive, like a sledgehammer hitting Yuan Zhinu's heart.
Genji was silent.
He originally still held a glimmer of hope, expecting Lu Mingfei to be caught in a dilemma.
But Lu Mingfei's answer was like a slap in the face.
Silent, but the pain is so real.
Should I say it or not… this sentence really hurt, it broke the defense.
We are brothers, but look at him! Yuan Zhisheng, you have no heart!
“Ha, haha…”
Yuan Zhinv lowered her head, her long, soft hair falling down, covering her delicate but pale face.
His laughter was low and suppressed, with a hint of resentment, like a whisper from the abyss: "What if he kills someone in front of you and makes a specimen of the body?"
"Will you choose to forgive him too?"
"Do you still consider him a brother?"
Lu Mingfei frowned slightly when he heard this, realizing that this was probably the fuse that caused the breakup between Yuan Zhisheng and Yuan Zhinu.
But he didn't ask any more questions, nor did he dig into the details. He just replied calmly, "Of course, he is still my brother."
His tone was calm and firm, as if he was stating a simple fact.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhinu's body trembled.
He raised his head, and his eyes under his long hair flashed with complex light, including anger, jealousy, and a hint of imperceptible envy.
Lu Mingfei looked at him, with no pity or ridicule in his eyes, only a calmness that was almost indifferent.
"A brother is a brother, no matter what he has done," he said softly, "and that will never change."
"If you do something wrong, you need to face the consequences."
“If he is willing to atone for his mistakes, I will face it with him.
If he chooses to escape, I will catch him back, ask him the reason, and take revenge if necessary! Forgive him if necessary!"
"Between brothers, there is not only forgiveness and tolerance, but also responsibility and accountability.
If you don’t even have the courage to face your mistakes together, what kind of brothers are you?!"
After these words were spoken, the room fell into deathly silence.
The fists of the young girl Yuan were tied behind her back and she clenched them tightly, with her nails digging deeply into her palms.
His breathing was rapid and his pupils were trembling violently, as if he was suppressing some emotion that was about to explode.
Lu Mingfei's words were like a key that opened the tightly closed door deep in his heart.
Behind the door is the truth he has always been unwilling to face——
Why? Why didn't he even have a chance to explain?
Why didn't my brother ask anything, say anything, and was so stingy that he even hesitated to ask a question?
Why was he so cruel, using a hug of reunion to cover up his murderous intent, and piercing his chest with a long knife at the moment of hugging? ! These questions kept echoing in Yuan Zhinu's mind, and they were like a blunt knife, cutting his already broken heart over and over again.
There was a tearing pain in my heart, and the scene of my near-death experience seemed to reappear in front of my eyes.
At the moment his chest was pierced, those eyes that were once full of doting became as cold as ice, without a trace of warmth.
The man drew his knife, threw his "corpse" into the long-dried wastewater well, covered it with a cast iron cover, fastened it with a heavy iron lock, turned around and left without looking back, without saying a word from beginning to end.
"Brother..." The corpse that sank to the bottom of the well murmured softly. All that was left was endless darkness, and the voice was filled with endless pain and confusion.
But all he got in response was endless darkness and silence.
"Why..." Genji's voice trembled, as if it was squeezed out from the depths of her throat, as desperate as a wild beast forced into a desperate situation.
"Why don't you say anything..."
He wanted to question, wanted to scream, but all the sounds were swallowed up by the never-fading scar on his chest, as if the hole that was pierced in the first place had still not healed.
Hearing his suppressed growl, so sad, so sorrowful, so painful, Eri blinked and tightened her grip on the lollipop.
She remembered that when she was sick in the past, her brother would always feed her candy, saying that it would not hurt so much.
She groped in her pocket with her little hands and pulled out two individually wrapped gummy bears, then gently handed them to Yuan Zhinv.
Yuan Zhinv, who was still immersed in despair, anger, guilt, resentment and many other negative emotions, was suddenly stunned and stared blankly at the gummy bear that appeared in her field of vision.
He raised his head, revealing his tearful face beneath his messy hair, and stared with his red eyes at the red-eyed girl who was licking the lollipop.
The girl opened her pink lips slightly stained with sugar paint and said the first words since they met:
"Brother, eat."
