Chapter 442 Broken, I became a substitute
"Son! Look at me!"
The young man's angry shout exploded in his ears. Chen Tianmu's hand, which was reaching for the family tree, suddenly stopped, and a strong sense of crisis emerged in his heart.
But before he could react, the invisible domain had already enveloped him.
Chen Tianmu opened his eyes wide and found that the world seemed to be completely still, only his thoughts were still running at the same speed.
Everything in the outside world, the wisps of smoke rising from the tea in the cup froze, the long golden and red hair blown by the draft stopped fluttering, and even the disgust in Nuonuo's eyes was only half revealed.
He couldn't move or look back, but he could feel a great terror staring at him from behind, and cold sweat had already soaked his back.
Chen Tianmu tried to make the dragon blood in his body boil and regain control of his body. However, the dragon blood he was proud of was like an impotent middle-aged man. Even after taking drugs, he was unable to get strong and remained decadent.
Just as he was trying to calm down and search his sea of memories for the meaning of the word, a hand silently pressed down on his head, stopping his thoughts from wandering.
"I told you to look straight at me without turning back. Do you have eyes on the back of your head?"
Lu Mingfei tightened his five fingers slightly, and the terrifying force seemed to be able to crush Chen Tianmu's skull at any time. The severe pain came, and the latter could even hear his skull wailing under the heavy burden.
He tried to speak, but the commands from his brain were transmitted without any problems, and the nerve transmission was normal. However, the mouth that responded to the terminal was like a computer with a bunch of anti-virus software installed, booting up at a speed that beat 0.01% of users in the country!
"Okay, you don't even scream like this, you're a real man." Lu Mingfei praised him, and directly grabbed his head and forced it to straighten, making him look directly into his eyes.
The gold in Chen Tianmu's eyes was gathering at a snail's pace, trying to ignite the golden pupils to dispel the astonishment and fear in them, but before he could succeed, a smiling boy broke into his field of vision.
Then, the world before his eyes fell into darkness, leaving only a pair of golden eyes that shone brightly like two suns in the sky.
Staring into those eyes, Chen Tianmu felt as if his spirit was struck by a giant dragon and then swung its tail. His consciousness was almost shattered, and he was in a daze, not knowing what was going on.
I just felt like something had entered my brain, just like the portal that led me to a new world when I was young, going in and out over and over again, turning everything upside down.
Holding Chen Tianmu's crown and looking into his lifeless eyes, Lu Mingfei's eyes turned cold.
As expected, this Mr. Chen is a fake.
The field of substitute literature.
If this were a normal world, it would be easy to become another person through plastic surgery, but it would be completely impossible to look exactly like the other person.
However, this is a world where the extraordinary exists, the dragon clan's big stage, come if there is work to do.
No matter whether it is technological advancement or spiritual power, it can be mass-produced by just stewing it all together. It is not impossible for Chen Tianmu's stand-in to be like the Alice clones that fill the Umbrella Corporation's hive base.
However, the stand selected by Herzog, except for a stand of Masamune Tachibana, the rest of the King General-type Shadow Warriors all have white noble masks welded on their faces, and their main feature is that they have thick skin and are durable. From a certain perspective, they are also consumables for Minamoto no Chitose to kill for fun.
The substitute for the head of the Chen family was obviously carefully trained, had excellent bloodline, and had been brainwashed. He had actually handled some important matters of the Chen family, and in his heart he completely regarded himself as Chen Tianmu himself.
It's a pity that the White King is the absolute authority in the spiritual field. The power of the White King fell into Lu Mingfei's hands. Although it has always been used as a hypnotic artifact and spiritual purgatory, things like hypnosis and mental confinement can be seen through at a glance.
After Lu Mingfei's testing, he found that there were two consciousnesses in the substitute's brain.
One of the main personalities knows that he is a puppet and has been in control of this body for a long time. He is usually responsible for imitating Chen Tianmu's words and deeds, and integrating all his habits into his bones and blood.
The secondary personality thinks that he is the head of the Chen family. After each personality switch, Chen Tianmu will hide behind the scenes and let the substitute led by the secondary personality come to the front to face unknown risks.
Sound familiar?
What if the way this stand switches personality is through the sound of a bangzi instrument?
Lu Mingfei's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
When Lu Mingfei visited the research institute last night, he discovered that the facilities and research plans there were very similar to those of Herzog's old dog.
And when I came to Chen's house today, I saw something even more similar.
Not only is the head of the family a substitute, but he can also switch with Minamoto no Chitose to become Kazama Ruri's personality converter with just one click.
Very good, the Chen family has already found a way to commit suicide.
Lu Mingfei finally understood why the Chen family, a noble family of oriental mixed-race, would have close contacts with mixed-race people from foreign countries.
It is known that the Qing government and the Dragon King cooperated to target the revolutionary party such as Lu Shanyan and almost wiped out the Secret Party Elders Council and the first generation Lionheart Society.
During that period, due to differences in ideology, a large number of Chen family members fled overseas to seek ways to save the country.
So the question is, the Chen family is right under the nose of the Qing government. Will the mastermind behind the scenes miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn the Chen family, a relatively prestigious and powerful mixed-race family, into a pawn?
Therefore, it is not that there is something wrong with the Chen family’s thinking, but that as early as the beginning of the last century, they had gradually transformed into the shape of the Dragon King.
Perhaps there were some smart people who sensed the conspiracy at the beginning and tried to turn the tide, but in that unspeakable era, they either died an untimely death or fled overseas.
As for the remaining people, they might still have the desire to save the Chen family from the dragon's claws, but they couldn't cause any trouble.
After all, after several rounds of shuffling, those left are ambitious people who are used to being superior and eager to become the new dragon clan.
It’s just that the Chen family is too close to the center of power and is too radical to be easily suppressed, so the conservatives still hold the final say.
Later, when the times changed, Chen Tianmu emerged and directly eliminated all opponents and non-supporters with iron-blooded means, becoming the absolute leader of the Chen family.
The Chen family became his one-man show. If he pointed fingers at the East tribe, they would not dare to attack the West. If he said the radicals were not radical enough, they would all become lone swimmers, swimming butterfly, breaststroke and freestyle in the tide of the times. If he said the conservatives were too conservative, no one would dare to leave the big ship of the Chen family.
Otherwise, if you get killed accidentally, you can't blame anyone.
Lu Mingfei found clues from the information extracted from the substitute version of Chen Tianmu's mind, and deduced that the Chen family had long been completely infiltrated, and who knows how much dirty and inhumane behavior was hidden behind it.
The Dragon King behind the Chen family must be Odin's grandson, if nothing unexpected happens. This guy is a complete idiot, with a thousand tricks up his sleeve and full of calculations.
If he was the one behind this and threw out this bait, it might not just be for his own benefit.
Instead, he wanted to know whether the power of the White King had been absorbed by him.
Since the half-blood didn't become the Dragon King, many speculations about the Elemental Lord were taken for granted, but there was a real dragon behind the Chen family. They knew that if Lu Mingfei seized the power of the White King and used it for himself, he would definitely be able to see the strangeness of this substitute.
At that time, no matter whether the substitute is dead or alive, the traces left by Lu Mingfei on the substitute will allow the dragon behind the scenes to deduce the correct answer.
"Oh, you still want to struggle..."
Lu Mingfei withdrew his hand and adjusted his non-existent glasses with his middle finger.
"Aze!" He snapped his fingers.
"Here!" A young man in a black evening gown walked out of the void, holding a tray with a Colt Python revolver on it.
"Brother, everything is ready for you. Do you want to be shot on the spot or for half an hour first?"
Lu Mingfei waved his hand: "No rush, just play with him."
Lu Mingze threw the gun aside and disappeared in an instant, looking like an obedient boy who would listen to his brother's instructions and play however his brother wanted.
"Since he wants to be Huang Silang, then I will reluctantly be Zhang Mazi." Lu Mingfei patted the stand-in Chen's face to bring his scattered consciousness back to normal.
Looking at his terrified eyes, Lu Mingfei raised his finger and tapped his brow, causing the two personalities in his brain to merge into one, and in doing so, he also erased the hypnotic effect of the clapper music.
"From today on, you are the head of the Chen family."
"What about Chen Motong's biological father?" Lu Mingze showed curiosity, but he was not confused about who Huang Silang and Zhang Mazi were.
"Watch your wording. That's a stand-in." Lu Mingfei ignored Chen Tianmu, who was suffering from mental torture after the personality fusion and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside.
"Those who make this city cry will not be forgiven."
Hearing this, Lu Mingze nodded slightly: "Leave it to me."
After he finished speaking, he took a half step back and disappeared into the void.
The next second, Lu Mingfei sat back in his seat, and time, which had been almost stagnant, began to flow again.
"Clang!"
Chen Tianmu's upper body slammed against the table, the teacup fell over, and the tea soaked his expensive suit and family tree.
If Nuonuo had not been very reluctant to have close contact with him and had not held Ricardo away from him, she would have been splashed by the tea that suddenly spilled.
The sudden strange behavior of the head of the Chen family left everyone confused. How could he be fine just a second ago, but when he reached out to grab something, he turned his body into a sledgehammer and slammed the table?
Are you performing a skit here?
But everyone knew that it must be because Chen Tianmu's words about wanting Eiry to be included in the Chen family tree had angered Lu Mingfei, and he was taught a lesson silently by Lu Mingfei.
Looking at his bulging temples, furrowed brows and twitching facial muscles, it seemed that Lu Mingfei had been a bit too heavy-handed.
The head of the Chen family was famous for being very concerned about his reputation. He always looked radiant and dignified at all times. Now he was in such an embarrassing state in front of his juniors and servants, but he was unable to sit up straight and restore his dignity immediately. It was conceivable how terrible the pain he was suffering was.
"Father!"
"master!"
Chen Weien and housekeeper Chen Fu were about to step forward to support him, but just as they raised their feet, Chen Tianmu raised his hand to stop them.
He coughed softly twice, and his rosy face turned pale. His rock-hard expression seemed to have been injected with an overdose of hyaluronic acid, and he was a little bit unable to hold it in.
"It's okay, I just twisted my back."
When everyone heard this, they were all speechless.
This reason is a bit too far-fetched.
But there's nothing you can do about it, since you're the head of the family.
Chen Weien and his sister had concern in their eyes. They wanted to go forward but did not dare to disobey their father, nor did they dare to transfer their anger to the culprit who was drinking tea with a playful smile. They could only use knife-like eyes to secretly scratch Nuonuo who was holding the child.
It's all her fault. She had been hiding outside and didn't dare to come back, as if she wanted to draw a clear line with the Chen family.
But now that he has found a backer, he can't wait to come over to anger his father. How hateful.
However, no matter how angry they were, they could not show it. After all, there was not only Lu Mingfei next to them, but also the young master of the Gattuso family.
Facing waves of dizziness and a sharp pain that seemed to penetrate his soul, Chen Tianmu waved his hand, signaling the butler Chen Fu to clean up the spilled teacup and give Nuonuo a new cup. Then he turned to look at Lu Mingfei:
"I've been sitting for a long time lately and have had some back problems. I'm sorry to bother you all."
"It's okay. I understand that I have some health problems as I get older." Lu Mingfei was very generous. He glanced at Percy standing behind Caesar.
"Life is but a few decades long, so be kind to yourself. Don't be reluctant to use tiger bone medicinal wine or something like that."
This guy hasn't changed his posture since he entered the door. He didn't drink the tea even though Chen Fu offered him. He only responded when Chen Tianmu spoke to him. At other times, he was like a wooden man.
Even though Chen Tianmu was in great pain from the dislocation of his bones due to the fusion of his personalities and his body leaning forward but his head was twisted back by Lu Mingfei, and even though his body had been regained control but still hit the table due to inertia, Percy did not show any obvious emotional fluctuations.
But just after Lu Mingfei said, "Life is short, be good to yourself," his eyes became darker and his face became colder.
Seeing his emotional changes clearly, Lu Mingfei's lips curled up slightly. It seems that there are many problem children in Gattuso's family, but there is only one who is qualified to rebel.
Well, this is not an exact statement. The people in Gattuso's family really have problems with their brains.
But it doesn't matter, he will take action.
After this little episode, the head of the Chen family did not mention the matter of having Eiry included in the Chen family tree again. Instead, he talked about the opening of the Chen family's entertainment company today and asked Lu Mingfei if he was interested in showing up to cut the ribbon.
It just so happened that Lu Mingfei had previously become famous both at home and abroad due to the popularity of Japan's most beautiful girl singer concert and the Great Honshu Earthquake, so he wanted the newly established company to take advantage of his popularity.
By then, all the media in Beijing will send reporters to show their support, so the exposure will definitely not be low.
Lu Mingfei naturally didn't bother to get involved: "I'll leave this stage to you. I'm a professional gamer, and my debut moment should be on the field."
Having said this, he did not forget to look at Nuonuo.
The first time the two of them met online, Nono used cheats to try to beat him, but he was almost beaten to the point of breaking down, and was sprayed with trash talk in his face. He was so angry that he wanted to fight him offline.
Nuonuo obviously also recalled this incident, but what he recalled more was what he said when they first met -
You must be very good at playing games because you can concentrate on the operation without having to protect your family.
According to Finkel, when Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang were playing games, they would often curse, saying things like "If you cheat, your whole family will die" and "If you cheat in the game, your parents will die."
Now she just wants to know when there will be more than one star twinkling in the sky.
