Chapter 282: The Lost Dragon King, the Man Behind the Scenes, and the Dialogue between Father and Son
God's punishment system.
To be honest, when Lu Mingfei first heard Ange's description of this thing, the first image that came to his mind was the space-based kinetic weapon called "Project Zeus" in the movie "G.I. Joe: Retaliation".
The performance of that thing in the movie is very exaggerated. The tungsten rod falling from low-Earth orbit penetrates the atmosphere at eight times the speed of a bullet. The kinetic impact is comparable to that of a tactical nuclear weapon, but it does not leave any radiation pollution.
Unfortunately, this is not the backdoor gun that the foreign masters with the Union Jack like most. With one blow, the whole of London would be blown to pieces.
When Lu Mingfei first watched this movie, he also felt “Wow, this is awesome”, but that was all. After all, this thing is too expensive and you really can’t afford it if you don’t have some money.
Later, in the second year after he led his team to win the championship at the Bird's Nest, the Chinese Journal of Rock Mechanics and Engineering published a research report titled "Theoretical and Experimental Study on Rock Penetration and Earth Impact Effects of Hypervelocity Long Rod Projectiles".
The title is so long that it makes people sleepy, but the conclusion is so clear that it makes people laugh:
A tungsten rod with a diameter of 11 cm and a length of 84 cm hit the Gobi Desert at a speed of 4,650 m/s, leaving only a shallow pit with a diameter of 4.6 m and a depth of 3 m in the desert.
This result immediately silenced everyone.
How should I put it? It’s awesome, right? The hole created is big enough for a few Yamcha to lie in.
It's lame, this kinetic energy rod is just a tiny thing weighing 140 kilograms, far from being as sensational as the six-meter-long Sword of Damocles which is measured in tons.
However, this is a world where supernatural powers exist after all. There are not only words, but also magical alchemy. Who dares to say that the Sky Punishment System is equipped with just an ordinary high-density metal rod?
What if this thing is actually an alchemical creation, and the moment it hits the target, the alchemical matrix is directly triggered, releasing an explosion comparable to the "Rhine"?
Fortunately, Schneider stopped Eva's countdown in time, otherwise Lu Mingfei might have to face the tram problem created by his teammates.
"Sakura, who are you talking to?"
Eiry tilted her head to look at Lu Mingfei, her hair falling on the side of her face, gently caressing his face in the cool breeze.
"Half brothers of the opposite sex with different fathers and mothers." Lu Mingfei's words confused Eri.
She looked at herself in confusion, then at Lu Mingfei, and finally at Yuan Zhisheng, with steam almost coming out of her little head.
Uesugi Yue, Angé and Inuyama He huddled together, and kept glancing over here secretly, their eyes full of confusion.
He saw the grand appearance of his daughter and the little yellow-haired boy just now. Eri is the emperor who inherited the bloodline, so it is normal for her to be a little special, but he really couldn't understand that little yellow-haired boy.
It was understandable that he was beaten up by the other party in the Ebisu French restaurant before. The person that Ange liked was definitely not an ordinary person. He might be a human-shaped dragon like him. He was just at a disadvantage that night because he was afraid of the young and strong.
But tonight the opponent can fly, control the sword to kill the enemy, and turn rain into ice. Is this really something a hybrid can do?
Are you sure that the kid didn't chew and swallow the White King, or that he may appear to be a human on the surface, but has actually been parasitized by the Holy Corpse inside?
But he didn't dare to say it, nor did he dare to ask. After all, all the people present combined might not be enough to beat the little yellow-haired boy, and once the hand-painted pear-shaped bag started, it would be on the side of the little yellow-haired boy.
Good news, the strongest person is already in the lineup.
Bad news, in enemy territory.
I wanted to talk to Yuan Zhisheng about it, but that kid was a fool. He was still discussing post-war compensation at this time.
His frequent side glances, as if he was impatient but had to wait, attracted the attention of Ange and Inuyama He who were standing next to him.
"What's wrong? Did you twist your neck just now?" Angé asked suddenly, interrupting Uesugi Yue's wandering thoughts.
"A little bit. That kid didn't hold back when he attacked." Uesugi Yue had been beaten once by Lu Mingfei before, so he naturally didn't mind poking him secretly at this time.
But when Ange heard this, he gave a mysterious smile and a teasing look in his eyes.
"why are you laughing?!"
"Think of something happy."
"What's the happy news?"
"You were beaten by a kid."
Uesugi Yue almost jumped up: "Oh shit, Ange, how can you be so mean, old man? You are bringing up all sorts of issues!"
Inuyama Kaye looked at him. This man was truly extraordinary. Even though Tachibana Masamune had committed such a heinous crime, he could not be compared to him in the shame ranking of the eight patriarchs of the Snake Family.
In fact, Inuyama He also hated Uesugi Yue at the beginning. If he had not clearly supported the war, his damn father would not have dared to directly suppress the entire Inuyama family, which eventually caused the Inuyama family to be extinct.
But later, when he came to power, he realized that things were not that simple. Uesugi Kotsu, the supreme leader of the Snake Eight Clans, was just a fool who was fooled, and the person who fooled him was a fanatical militarist like his father.
That is why, after Uesugi Koshi killed a large number of people in a rage and burned down the family shrine that enshrined the "war hero", he did not feel too much disgust, and even had a hint of pleasure in revenge.
For more than sixty years since then, he has been helping Uesugi Yue hide his identity. It is too easy for the first director of the Japanese branch to hide a person.
But soon, Inuyama He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned to look at Lu Mingfei with a look of shock on his face.
He remembered that Su Sang had previously commissioned the Sheqi Eight Clans to find a gang called the "Black Sun Gang", but no one met the other party's requirements, and the matter was eventually left unresolved.
But now it seems that things are not that simple.
After all, Black Sun can also be called Black Sun.
Combined with the fact that Lu Mingfei had previously taken people to the street behind the gate of Dongda University, it turned out that everything had already begun to show signs at that time.
I just don't know why they targeted Uesugi Yue, was it because of that street, or because of the blood of the White King in him.
Or maybe...
Looking at the boy and girl who were fighting together for some unknown reason, Inuyama He, the boss of the sex industry, had some understanding in his heart.
Sure enough, people can't live without bitterness.
On the other side, Minamoto Chisei had already dealt with the relevant matters and came over with three retainers.
"How's the girl doing? Is there anything wrong?"
The information on his side was still before the war. He only knew that the top leaders of the Kanto branch collectively rebelled and colluded with the demons to capture Takama-ga-hara, but they failed and were wiped out instead.
"It's okay. If you're worried, you can go back with us and take a look."
Lu Mingfei stayed here because Herzog had planted a spy on the Sumeru throne and no suspicious persons were found after a thorough investigation.
After all, more than a thousand people were almost dead, so even if the remaining few had the intention to harm others, they had no power to do so.
Gen Chisei looked around, his eyes met with the stealthy Uesugi Yue, and he still shook his head:
"I have something else to do."
Lu Mingfei knew from their positions that Uesugi Yue and Gen Chisei already knew each other's identities, so he was not surprised. He took Eri's hand and turned to leave:
"Let's go back and play games~"
With today's rescue, no matter how badly the Eight Snake Qi families had been harmed by him before, all of it was wiped out, and they even owed him a favor.
Maybe after returning to Tokyo, several family heads will hold a banquet to thank him.
Seeing that Lu Ming was determined to take Eri away, Uesugi Yue subconsciously wanted to follow, but he had no reason, so he could only nudge Angé with his elbow, signaling him to come out.
But Ange signaled him to be patient, as Lu Mingfei would not leave Japan so soon. Wouldn't it be nice to wait until the whole family was together after returning to talk things out?
So Uesugi Yue could only watch his daughter and her little yellow-haired boy leave.
The helicopter was ready to be refueled, and Cheng Shuangfan and Caesar were sitting in the driver's seat.
"Nice to meet you again." Cheng Shuangfan nodded to Lu Mingfei with a smile on his face.
After the principal's explanation just now, he already knew that Lu Mingfei was actually the hunter he met when hunting the dragon girl Lilith in Spain, and he couldn't help but sigh that this was fate.
"Well, we meet again." Lu Mingfei was not surprised that he recognized him. "Weren't you hunting dragons in Europe? Why are you here?"
"Things change all the time. It's hard to predict what will happen." Cheng Shuangfan explained why he was transferred back to China, and earnestly invited Lu Mingfei to join the Chinese branch. Not surprisingly, he was rejected cleanly.
The legend of Kassel Academy's rapid defeat at the hands of Lu Mingfei continues.
But it doesn’t matter. Cheng Shuangfan had just asked the principal about Lu Mingfei’s news and learned that the child’s hometown happened to be in the area under his jurisdiction.
At that time, he would be the first to get the moon if he was close to the water. He would show his face in front of Lu Mingfei every day to build up a good rapport with him. Sooner or later, he would be able to make their relationship so close that they would be in each other's arms.
After Lu Mingfei dealt with the enthusiastic Cheng Shuangfan, he turned to look at Caesar in the co-pilot seat: "How is the scenery under the abyss? Isn't it spectacular?"
"It's not bad, quite shocking." Caesar nodded. After all, the ancient city of Takama-ga-hara is a relic of the dragon civilization. The bronze pillar standing in the center of the city records no less information than the Ice Sea Bronze Pillar.
Although I was unable to film the entire thing due to time constraints, I still managed to record nearly two-thirds of the content. I will report it back to the dragon history professors at Kassel College and I guess it won’t be long before there are some big discoveries.
"Have you seen the embryo of the Lenin? What did it look like?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"It's almost fused with the Lenin. We can't see where the baby dragon is, but we're sure it can't hatch again. Someone killed it and used it as a sacrifice to awaken Takamagahara."
Lu Mingfei nodded slightly, thinking in his heart, and noticed that Caesar's eyes were a little strange, so he asked him if he had any questions.
When they were boarding the plane just now, Caesar found that Eri's hair roots and pupil color looked familiar. He took another look at her and asked curiously:
"Ms. Shangshan's hair and eye color are very similar to Nuonuo. Could she be the Chen Xiyuan you are looking for?"
Due to various reasons, he had never been able to meet Eri before. At this time, he remembered a little thing that Nono had told him.
When she went to Shilan Middle School to get the interviewer information, she met Lu Mingfei. The other party asked her if she had any distant relatives abroad who had very similar appearance features.
Lu Mingfei nodded, then shook his head: "Now she is just Eri."
He raised his hand and gently stroked the girl's soft hair. Eri had dyed her hair originally, but after being transformed by the power of the White King, her body had undergone some changes. Her hair had grown a little longer, with a dark red hue at the roots, so she looked different.
Caesar did not comment on this, but there was obviously something going on here and it was difficult to delve into it.
"It's quite surprising to say that your Gattuso family has cooperated with the Russian Space Agency and even made space-based kinetic weapons." Lu Mingfei asked calmly.
Herzog admitted personally that it was the KGB agent named Bondarev who told him that there was a Dragon King sleeping in the Japanese Trench and that he knew the specific method of stealing the power of the White King.
It can be said that from the sinking of the Lenin and its fall into Takama-ga-hara to the birth of the three royal brothers and sisters one after another, everything was done by Bondarev himself.
The great and scheming Dr. Herzog simply inherited Bondarev's legacy and, based on it, designed a very vulgar conspiracy that would inevitably end in tragedy for others.
But little did he know that the life he thought was successful was actually under the control of Bondarev.
After all, the ancient dragon embryo hidden at the bottom of the sunken Lenin came from the remains of the Dragon King in Black Swan Harbor.
That was the cocoon of a dragon king.
Could Bondarev, who was able to offer the dragon king's embryo as a sacrifice, really be killed by a volley of bullets from Herzog?
It's obvious that this is impossible, but Herzog believed it anyway.
This shows that someone has tampered with his cognition, but he is completely unaware and is complacent with his own achievements.
But he was an ambitious and shrewd man after all. In Herzog's subsequent investigation, he discovered that there was no such person as Bondarev in the KGB. He came suddenly and died suddenly, leaving only mysterious traces.
But Lu Mingfei knew that those who knew many secrets of the dragon clan were either from a long-standing dragon blood family, or were simply pure-blooded dragons who had transformed into humans.
Coincidentally, the appearance of the Sky Punishment System happened when he learned that an Italian mixed-race family had actually reached a cooperation with the Russian Space Agency to bring the space-based kinetic weapons that only existed in the imagination into the sky.
I’m afraid the relationship here is a bit deep.
Now that we can work with the Russian Space Agency, could we have borrowed the KGB's tiger skin a few decades ago?
However, Caesar was completely clueless about this. He was addicted to rebellion and seldom paid attention to family affairs. Moreover, it was obvious that space-based kinetic weapons were a top-secret plan, which was impossible for him to have access to at this stage. Naturally, he could not offer any insights.
Lu Mingfei nodded slightly and did not continue to ask. As long as the direction was determined, he could dig deeper. Asking too much would only make people suspicious.
At least from his current point of view, Caesar must have a conflict with his family, but he doesn't know the specific reason. He will ask Potato Chip Girl to help investigate it when the time comes.
Of course, there is still a very important question - has the embryo been destroyed in the nuclear bomb?
Foolish Ou Doudou told him that the ancient dragon embryo that sank to the bottom of the sea was a king, and the best among the first generation. Even if it was used as a sacrifice and bled continuously, it could not be killed.
The nuclear bomb is a weapon developed by humans to kill gods, and it is unknown whether it can destroy the Dragon King who is worshipped as a god by ancient humans, hybrids, and dragons.
The noise of the propeller disappeared in the howling wind, and gradually the shadow completely blended into the night.
Uesugi Yue stood there and looked at the scene with a lost expression, just like an old father who was abandoned by his daughter and watched her ride on the yellow-haired will-o'-the-wisp and fly away.
But everyone present knew what kind of person he was actually.
Yuan Zhisheng walked closer, and before he could say anything, Angé nodded to Inuyama He:
"Ah, let's go. Let me test your swordsmanship and see if you have improved over the years."
Inuyama He was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Angé who was rarely so embarrassed: "Teacher, don't you need to rest?"
"Haha, people have plenty of time to rest after they die. We should cherish the time we are alive."
Two old men who were nearly a hundred and over a hundred years old left, and the remaining one, Uesugi Yue, who was in the middle, stayed where he was, looking at Yuan Zhisheng standing in front of him.
Uesugi Yue looked at the handsome man who was somewhat as feminine as himself when he was young. In the past, he was eloquent and could tease female college students and make young ladies tremble with pleasure. But now his tongue was surprisingly clumsy. After holding it in for a long time, he could only utter these words:
"Um, hello."
Compared to Uesugi Yue's complicated feelings, Gen Chisei's were much simpler and clearer. He placed his hands on both sides of his thighs and showed his craftsman spirit, speaking calmly:
“Thanks for your help.”
This polite look made Uesugi Yue feel nervous, thinking that he wanted to draw a line between them, but his years of hard work at the roadside stall still made his body react subconsciously, and he also bowed in response:
"You are welcome."
“…”
The atmosphere froze for a moment. Yaksha and Crow, who were secretly watching the excitement from a distance, covered their mouths, not knowing what to say. But soon two slender arms reached out from behind and dragged them away.
After a moment of silence, Yuan Zhisheng stood up straight.
He was not one to beat around the bush, so he just got straight to the point:
"Masamune Tachibana said that my father and my daughter's father was a powerful figure who could command the entire Japanese underworld."
Uesugi Yue nodded: "If I hadn't run away from my family back then, I would still be a big shot in the underworld today."
"He also said our father was dead."
"If he meant that big shot, he has indeed been dead for many years. The only one alive now is a ramen chef with more than 60 years of experience in the industry."
Uesugi Yue looked at him with a bitter expression.
People often don't know how to cherish things that come too easily, but he realized it too late.
He has the combat power that stands at the top among the hybrids, but has never succeeded in defending anything. This is a tragedy and also a punishment.
Just like at this moment, he could clearly just shout "Son, I'm your father" and the father and son would recognize each other and be overjoyed, but he simply didn't have the courage to say it. He could only follow Yuan Zhisheng's pace, afraid that if he took a wrong step, he would never be able to recognize them again.
Yuan Zhisheng looked at his slightly dark skin, which was the mark of being exposed to the wind and sun for a long time: "Didn't you take a lot of valuable things before you left?"
"Times change too fast, and it's too difficult to sell those antiques." Uesugi Yue felt a little distressed when he thought about those priceless Tang-style swords that were treated as consumables. After a great battle, he was left with only two swords.
"But I still have an entire street that someone has offered for $1.2 billion. Although it is a place I keep to commemorate my youth, I can sell it at any time if I need to, and the buyer will take care of all the formalities."
"After selling your shelter, where are you going?" Yuan Zhisheng took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes from his arms. Fortunately, it was not wet and could still be lit.
He handed one to Uesugi Yue, who took it and held it in his mouth.
Yuan Zhisheng helped him light up the cigarette and then lit one for himself. The father and son stood by the broken railing, enjoying the sea breeze and smoking in silence, like every other father and son who are not good at expressing themselves.
"I've saved some money over the years. I was originally planning to buy a house in France and wait for the god of death to knock on my door, but now..." Uesugi Yue looked towards Tokyo, and his voice sounded a little dazed:
"First, let's find a way to resolve the misunderstanding between you and the girl."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Yuan Zhisheng wanted to say that you, as an orthodox emperor, dare not say that you will live as long as the Southern Mountains, but at least you should be able to live as long as the president and vice president of Kassel College. However, he was stunned after hearing the second half of the sentence:
"What's the misunderstanding between me and the girl?"
"You are not..." Uesugi Yue told all the grudges and hatreds he knew, which made Yuan Zhisheng laugh:
"Between brothers, it's good to resolve misunderstandings."
He blew out a smoke ring and put out the cigarette by pressing it against the railing:
"We all make mistakes, so let's shoulder the responsibility together."
