Chapter 321 You cheated on me, and I cheated on you, now we are even
Coming to Nibelungen so late at night was not to show Old Tang the world, but simply to move the corpse and let Old Tang see if he could get any useful information from the modified corpse of the head of the Laurent family.
After all, whether he is willing to admit it or not, Old Tang's head does contain the most complete and profound alchemical knowledge from ancient times to the present. It's just that he has not yet found a way to safely open this treasure house without alarming the dragon guarding the treasure house.
Fortunately, with Lu Mingfei around, Old Tang doesn’t have to worry about being swallowed by a dragon when he tries to open the treasure house.
Hu Touben ran wildly on the viaduct and soon arrived at the center of the battle where corpses were piled up everywhere.
Looking at the eight-legged Pegasus that was burned to only a dark golden skeleton, and the alchemical puppet that had its armor shattered and fell into the deep pit, Old Tang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:
"Mingming, you guys were pretty ruthless yesterday."
"The opponent's attack was even more ruthless. Finkel was almost beaten into a grandson."
Old Tang glanced at Finkel and came to his senses. "I was wondering why he looked a lot thinner last night. I thought he was burning calories, but it turns out he was beaten back to youth."
"He is slandering me, he is slandering me!" Finkel wanted to stuff the DV evidence into Old Tang's eye sockets, so that he could play the video of his majestic figure fighting bravely in a loop 24 hours a day without any blind spots.
Old Tang held back his laughter and moved closer to the screen, just in time to see Finger being blown away by the shockwave: "This Pingsha Luoyan style with the buttocks facing backwards... is very essential."
"Don't pay attention to such insignificant details." Finkel turned off the video in anger. "Hurry up and get down to business. I feel it's unlucky to stay in this place for too long."
The body of the head of the Laurent family lay between the cracks in the asphalt, with the alchemical device on his chest exposed to the moonlight.
Dr. Indiana Downs squatted down and stretched out his hands to pull out the alchemical creations that filled his open chest. His eyes swept across the alchemical matrix engraved on them and the blood in his veins that was as dark as waste oil, and he fell into a long period of silence.
After waiting for a while, Lu Mingfei saw that he still looked like he was holding back his poop, so he asked, "Why, did you see something?"
Old Tang frowned and shook his head slowly: "No."
"Then why do you look constipated?"
"Although I can't see the technical content here, I can feel that this is a crude imitation." Old Tang's fingers were stirring in the chest of the head of the Laurent family. The metal parts collided and made a crisp sound. His brows were slightly frowned, and there was undisguised disgust in his tone.
Lu Mingfei moved closer: "What do you mean?"
"Look at this energy conversion circuit." Old Tang pointed to a set of blackened gears in his chest and said naturally, "The interface that should have been made of mithril uses recycled metal, and the transmission efficiency is less than 60%."
He moved his fingers to the other side and tapped the replaced heart shell. The alchemical matrix glowed a strange dark red under the light:
"And this one, which is a complete imitation of the dragon clan's corpse-guarding refining technology. But this body is too fragile, the modification space is limited, and the durability is pitifully low. It will probably be scrapped after one or two uses."
Finkel was still dragging the video progress bar. Hearing him say this, he couldn't help but look up at him, his iron-gray eyes filled with shock: "No... Old Tang, do you really understand?"
Old Tang was stunned when he heard this, his face full of surprise, "Fuck, I clearly don't know anything but how come I can talk about it so clearly?"
“That’s not important. Maybe Old Tang is a rare alchemy genius.” Lu Mingfei waved his hand, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes: “You said before that the life support device of this puppet is a poor imitation. Does that mean it was not made by Odin?”
Hearing this name, Old Tang's eyes flashed with disdain and disgust, as well as a subtle fear: "Although that guy is annoying, this method is too crude, it can't be his work."
He has roughly figured out that there may be a long-standing grudge between "himself" and Odin.
When I mention this name, I feel like my hands and teeth are itching.
It seemed as if the other party had hurt what he cherished most, and a nameless anger rose from the bottom of his heart.
"What this means is that he has an established force under his command that can snipe at the heads of large mixed-race families in Europe, and his researchers have also mastered the technology to transform people into corpse guards." Lu Mingfei nodded thoughtfully. He had no doubt about Lao Tang's judgment, especially when it came to fighting against Odin.
This can almost be said to be a subconscious hostility.
Finkel glanced sideways, it was almost obvious that the Gattuso family was equated with Odin's number one lackey.
But if Gattuso really has an inseparable relationship with Odin, he should be able to train a better successor.
I'm not looking down on Caesar, he was indeed an Italian man with great leadership skills.
It’s just that the strength is a bit... emmm, it’s difficult for me to participate in high-end level battles.
Apart from anything else, at least Yan Ling shouldn’t be a pure auxiliary Kamaitachi.
Speaking of which, he had heard a piece of news before. It seemed that the old guys in the secret party were planning to come up with a plan to strengthen their bloodlines to help the hybrids break through their bloodline limits without losing control. The danger level was no less than the evolutionary medicine that the Japanese ghosts needed to kill people at home, travel and kill people.
It is said that this plan is led by the Gattuso family, and the first lucky person will be born among the students of Kassel College. If nothing unexpected happens, the "chosen child" is very likely to be a blond young man.
"Old Finn, the organization has given you a task. Find an excuse to trick Caesar to come to China. Let's hold the prince hostage to control Gattuso first." Lu Mingfei patted Finkel's shoulder, interrupting his wild thoughts, and said earnestly.
The word "Prince" immediately made Finkel react. No matter who the prince was, based on the current situation, he seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with Odin and the Gattuso family.
He doesn't like other people's wives, but he also knows that it's better to kill someone by mistake than to let the guilty go.
When the prince designed to make the most elite specialists of Kassel Academy become sacrifices for the revival of the Dragon King, the Gattuso family was an accomplice.
If these two are really in the same camp, then let's settle all the new and old grudges together.
"If everything goes well, he will come to China on his own without me having to think of any way." Since Finkel had already chosen Lu Mingfei, he did not hide anything and told him everything about the Nibelungen Plan.
"If the Gattuso family wants Caesar to be the one who reaps the benefits, then they will not let Caesar miss the opportunity to dig the Dragon Tomb of the King of Bronze and Fire."
"Moreover, Caesar is a very proud man. He is almost a supporting role in the Japanese God-killing Plan this time. Even though he managed to survive the Deep Dive Plan and made great contributions, he is not like you and Chu Zihang who have a real record of killing. With his personality, he will definitely not accept it."
What this means is that Caesar has decided to dig the tomb of the King of Bronze and Fire this time.
As he said this, he kept glancing at Old Tang who was still observing the head of the Laurent family.
As smart as he was, he had already noticed that something was wrong with Old Tang, but this guess was too bold, and Old Tang's words and actions were completely like a normal human being, so he didn't dare to make a conclusion.
Lu Mingfei also knew that Finkel should have noticed something, but since the other party did not say it explicitly, he did not explain. He just patted Lao Tang on the shoulder and told him not to get excited.
Old Tang had his back to the crowd. The words about digging the dragon tomb of the Bronze and Fire King did make him a little angry. Even his eyes had a gradient of gold.
But Lu Mingfei stopped him in time.
"In that case, let's not delay any further. Let's set off to the mountain city someday to explore the bronze city hidden under the Yangtze River. We can also make some noise to attract the attention of Kassel College."
According to the nature of the people at Kassel Academy who would use every opportunity to the fullest, Caesar, as the most powerful student in the school, had to go there even without that damn Nibelungen Plan.
After the few people had agreed, Finkel took out the body bag that had been prepared long ago, put the body of the head of the Laurent family into the trunk, and then drove towards the exit again.
Longma Xun had a lot of questions in his mind, but he didn't feel comfortable asking them, so he planned to go back to Lao Tang's room in the evening to discuss them.
As for Eri, Lu Mingfei was initially worried that she would be scared because there was a dead body in the trunk of the car just one seat away, but in the end, she was playing the video game console as if nothing had happened.
In Japan, there are many arcade masters, and there are many opponents that she cannot beat.
But in China, the status of games is equivalent to electronic opium. Few of the opponents she is matched with can beat her, which is a bit like the loneliness of a master.
As a result, in the afternoon Lu Mingfei took her to an arcade that was holding an event, and a man called a child abused her badly. In the end, it was Lu Mingfei who helped her get back on her feet.
The girl was not the type to call for help when she couldn't win, so she went back to the hotel and worked day and night with her video game console to hone her skills, preparing to achieve great success and avenge her previous defeat.
But Lu Mingfei was not optimistic. After all, he was the God of Children. His divinity in the arcade field was as stable as his divinity in the online game field, which made people despair.
Thinking this, Hu Tou rushed through the realm of reality and illusion, and they left Nibelungen and returned to the real world.
Just when Lu Mingfei was thinking about contacting Chu Zihang, Old Tang, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly raised his head and looked at the barren land outside the overpass with a slightly deep gaze.
"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei stopped taking out his phone and looked in the direction Old Tang was looking.
"I sensed the breath of 'Shao Nanqin'. How did she get here?" Old Tang was puzzled. As the pinnacle of the bloodline, he could easily sense that his subordinates were approaching him.
But didn't he tell her to stay in the city center and not run around? Where did she go?
Lu Mingfei paused for a moment when he heard this. He certainly knew why the Shao sisters ran away.
Because the dragon that was recognized by Old Tang was Cheng Shuangfan's hunting target.
As expected, his plan went awry, causing the arrest to be brought forward.
If it were just him and his hunting team, Lu Mingfei could easily defeat them and let them return home in defeat.
But now Chu Zihang and Xia Mi are also among them, so he wants to hide and watch the show for a while.
…
The taxi sped through the night and finally stopped under a desolate overpass. The shadow was like the open mouth of a giant beast, swallowing the entire car in darkness.
Cheng Shuangfan put out his cigar, and the spark drew a fleeting arc in the night. He walked forward slowly, and the sound of his leather shoes crushing the puddles was particularly harsh in the silence.
The car door creaked when it was opened, revealing two identical pale faces inside the car.
Shao Nanyin looked at him in disbelief, with frozen despair in her eyes. Shao Nanqin just lowered her head with tear marks on her face, and remained silent, as if she had suffered a major blow.
"Kassel College Executive Department, S-level Specialist Cheng Shuangfan." Cheng Shuangfan's eyes fell on Shao Nanyin's face, and his voice was like a sword drawn from its sheath, cutting off all hope:
"I'm here. You don't have any chance of escaping. You can trust me on this matter."
Shao Nanyin looked up, and the moonlight outlined the man's sharp silhouette.
The face that once smiled gently during a date now looked as cold and hard as metal.
This is his true identity, the top hunter in the ancient and mysterious organization, the Secret Party.
“Click!”
The sound of shackles closing echoed in the silence. Shao Nanyin lowered her head and looked at the heavy black shackles on her wrists. It even seemed difficult for her to raise her arms.
Cheng Shuangfan sat in the passenger seat and with a gesture, a container truck slowly drove out from the shadows.
The cargo door slid open silently, revealing the eerie space inside. The taxi driver maneuvered the car into it, like prey being dragged into the belly of a giant beast.
At this moment, Shao Nanyin had no idea that she had never escaped from the big net laid by Cheng Shuangfan from the beginning to the end.
The container was converted into a simple interrogation room. The pale light shone on Shao Nanyin's face. She did not confess to her crimes. She did not think she was guilty of anything. She just told her story.
“The dragon race has long been abandoned by fate.
Human science is still not even one ten-thousandth of the alchemy of the dragon race, and the vitality of individuals is even more different, but humans have something that we can never reach, reproduction, and learning. These two wheels that drive civilization forward are precisely the fatal shortcomings of the dragon race. "
She tells the story of the Dragon King who was unwilling to be inferior to humans and kept reincarnating to regain power. She tells the story of his fellow tribesmen's resistance like moths to a flame. She also tells the story of how she became an outlier in the tribe, a dragon who escaped his fate.
She had seen her own people reduced to ashes in flames too many times, and gradually began to doubt this eternal war.
"I will no longer respond to new calls." Her voice seemed to carry the fatigue of a thousand years. "I choose to parasitize human society and live like a shadow."
She looked at Shao Nanqin, who began to cry silently again, with a tone of regret and mockery:
"I finally found a silly host who can live freely without being restrained and play however I want... Unfortunately, you guys came to me before I could have enough fun."
Cheng Shuangfan turned around and looked at Shao Nanqin who was still immersed in sadness:
"Now you understand, you have been living in the fantasy she has woven for twenty-three years. It's time to wake up."
Shao Nanqin raised her head abruptly, staring at the expressionless Shao Nanyin with her red and swollen eyes, her voice trembling like a torn cloth: "In the past twenty-three years, how have you viewed me, a pet or a stock of food?"
She clenched her fists, digging her nails deep into her palms, but still held on to a faint glimmer of hope, and asked almost pleadingly:
"Or... did you really treat me as your sister, even for just one moment?"
Shao Nanyin stared at her, without any emotion in her eyes, and gave the same answer that everyone knew:
"No, I never thought of you as a sister."
Shao Nanqin's body trembled violently, as if pierced by these words.
She slowly squatted down, hugged her knees with her hands, and suddenly burst into heart-wrenching tears, as if the most important thing in her life was forcibly taken away and crushed into ashes in front of her.
Cheng Shuangfan looked at her trembling back, was silent for a moment, and finally reached out and patted her shoulder: "You are sad because you have a heart, and people with a heart will always lose to those without a heart."
After she had cried enough, the interrogation was finally over. Everyone packed up their equipment and prepared to leave, with Shao Nanqin walking in front in a daze.
However, the moment she stepped out of the container——
"Bang!!!"
With a loud bang, the heavy container door slammed shut!
The moment Shao Nanqin stepped out of the container, she suddenly turned around and locked everyone in the container with incredible speed. Then she ran wildly into the field beside the road, as fast as Bolt who was being chased by a slave owner wielding a whip and a shotgun.
The sudden change caught everyone off guard. Cheng Shuangfan looked at the door that slammed shut, and reacted immediately, turning to look at Shao Nanyin who was in shackles.
But she, who had been indifferent just now, suddenly let out a long sigh and looked at him with a smile and sadness: "You lied to me, and I lied to you, now we are even."
Cheng Shuangfan knew very well that this Shao Nanyin was actually Shao Nanqin in disguise, and the Shao Nanqin just now was their hunting target!
It turns out that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive. Even an experienced hunter like him didn't notice it!
Cheng Shuangfan's face instantly turned as dark as iron. He almost squeezed out a voice through his teeth, "Do you know what you did? You let a pure-blooded dragon go! You idiot!"
Shao Nanqin just raised her hand when she heard that, but gave up because the shackles were too heavy. She simply slumped in the chair and curled her lips:
"It doesn't matter. I don't expect you to like me anyway."
Cheng Shuangfan laughed in anger, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and said coldly: "Do you think she can get away?"
Shao Nanqin was stunned, her eyes scanned the container, and suddenly realized something, her face changed abruptly.
Since the taxi driver is Cheng Shuangfan's man, then the young couple who hailed the taxi before to create an opportunity for them are most likely also his people.
Adding in the expressionless-faced boy who got out of the Maybach that rear-ended the car, that means there are at least three more of them lying in ambush outside!
"You cunning bastard!" She gritted her teeth in anger, but her vocabulary for cursing was so limited that it sounded like she was acting coquettishly.
Cheng Shuangfan ignored her and just waited quietly.
The Word Spirit: Sword Control is a highly confidential Word Spirit, and he will not use it easily unless it is a matter of life and death.
He knew that his eldest nephew would soon catch the escaped dragon.
…
At the same time, in the field under the viaduct, a slender figure was running wildly in the moonlight. Her golden eyes hinted at the hope of escaping death and the ruthlessness of a dragon who would not take revenge if she did not.
"Wait, Nanqin, I will definitely come back to save you!"
Shao Nanyin swore in her heart that she would never call Shao Nanqin an idiot again.
From now on, it will be her turn to be the older sister and protect Nanqin for the rest of her life!
However, the moment this thought flashed through my mind——
“Swish!!!”
A sharp blade light suddenly tore through the night!
Shao Nanyin almost fell down instinctively and landed miserably.
The next second, the thick tree behind her broke with a loud bang, and the cut was as smooth as a mirror.
Shao Nanyin got up in a panic, only to see a boy with an icy face walking out of the shadows with a knife in his hand.
Under the moonlight, Chu Zihang stood with a sword in hand. The blade shone coldly, reflecting a pair of golden eyes that were as big as a dragon's.
