Chapter 97: How to Infiltrate the Eight Snake Families
"What?"
When Lu Mingfei heard that the Uesugi family's inheritance had been completely cut off, he couldn't help but sit up straight, staring at the woman in the driver's seat who looked like a gorgeous singing girl in a ukiyo-e painting, and his voice became a little anxious:
"You mean all the Uesugi family members are dead?"
"I don't know. Anyway, no member of the Uesugi family has appeared in the Snake Eight Families for more than half a century."
Jiude Mai looked up at the rearview mirror and said with some amusement:
"Why, are you worried about your friend Uesugi Tomokatsu? Don't worry, the Minamoto family and the Tachibana family were also considered to have no successors, but later the lost bloodlines were found by the Snake Eight Families."
Lu Mingfei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Your intelligence work is quite good. This kind of thing should be considered a family secret. You can even find out this."
"It's okay. There are people like this inside."
Jiude Mai nodded, as if it was just a few drops of water and nothing to be surprised about.
"Then can the people you have planted inside the Eight Snake Families help me get in?"
"If you want to sneak in as a peripheral member, it's easy, but if you want to join the main family of the Eight Snake Families, it's a bit difficult."
Jiude Mai explained: "All the members of the Snake Eight Clan are mixed-bloods. The requirement for the outside world is that only Japanese with pure blood can join the family. It is almost impossible for a foreigner like you to join, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Marry into the wife's family."
Lu Mingfei: “…”
That's probably not possible. If Lao Lu's family were to marry into Japan as a son-in-law, his grandfather, who had been a soldier all his life, would probably come to him in his dreams in the middle of the night and beat up his unfilial descendant.
"No other solution?"
"There are other ways. When the time comes, go ask Potato Chips and let her arrange it for you." Jiude Mai said that she was a person who always ran to the front line, and such complicated issues should be considered by people in the rear.
“Okay.” Seeing this, Lu Mingfei said no more and stared at the black building in Shinjuku district in the distance, standing in the city center like an ancient sword.
The middle five and sixth floors of the building were hollowed out, and an elevated highway passed through the interior of the building. All the floors above were suspended in the air, with tens of thousands of tons of weight bearing on twelve load-bearing columns.
"That is the headquarters of the Snake Eight Families, called the Genji Heavy Industries Building."
Jiude Mai noticed his gaze and couldn't help but jokingly said, "What, you've never seen such an exaggerated architectural style before?"
"It's OK, but I feel it will disturb people and affect work efficiency." Lu Mingfei said that this is just the case, and the infrastructure still depends on our great China.
"To which elemental monarch do the Japanese hybrids belong?"
On the plane, Lu Mingfei made up for some knowledge about the dragon clan, but he did not find the corresponding bloodline source of the Japanese hybrid in the information given by Potato Chip Girl.
Perhaps he could get more comprehensive information if he entered Kassel College, but it would be better to kill him directly than to let him listen to those elderly professors reading from the textbook in not-so-fluent Chinese in class.
It's good to be simple and crude like now. He directly regarded the dragon information given by Potato Chip Girl as the updated expansion pack of "Earth Online". He knew it all at a glance.
As a former professional player, his ability to understand the version has always been far beyond ordinary people.
“I don’t know. So far, there has been no incident of ancient dragons reviving in Japan, and even the remains of dragon civilization have never been discovered.
This island nation is known as the 'cleanest' region in the world, with no dragon activity at all. "Jiude Mai herself couldn't explain it clearly, "The origin of the Japanese hybrids is as mysterious as Japanese mythology. It is said that even the Eight Snake Clan don't know where they came from."
Lu Mingfei stared: "Do you believe this?"
"Don't worry about whether I believe it or not, the people at Kassel Academy believe it anyway." Jiude Mai smiled crookedly, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her: "Back then, the United States used a black ship to fire a cannon in Yokosuka Port to force the Tokugawa Shogunate to open the country. After that, European and American powers invaded Japan, directly polluting the local bloodline and making it a mess.
Even the eight Sheqi families, which have the purest bloodline, often give birth to descendants of other elemental monarchs."
The black Honda passed through the streets of Tokyo and finally arrived at the luxurious Hilton Hotel.
It was still the presidential suite, but Lu Mingfei booked a single room for himself, saying that he liked to sleep alone.
Jude Mai complained that no one wanted to be her bed warmer, and then she was about to hug Ling to show their sisterly love, but she was humiliated and dodged, which immediately exposed the fact that they were just fake sisters.
"Ahem, she doesn't like physical contact and is usually very clingy."
Lu Mingfei ignored the long-legged beauty's attempt to save face and went to the luxurious single room with his equipment.
To be honest, he is actually a little short of money now. Most of his assets have been transferred to the little goddess to ask her to help buy coins. The remaining assets can only last for a month at most if they are all converted into Japanese yen.
The expenses of the past two days, whether it was the cruise ship summons, plane tickets, and food and accommodation in Tokyo, were all taken care of by Potato Chip Girl and Jiude Mai. He could be considered a gigolo.
Of course, considering that the boss behind them was most likely his mysterious younger brother, Lu Mingfei felt relieved.
While others rely on their parents, he relies on his younger brother. Who dares to say that he is a brother-supporting demon?
After putting away his luggage and changing his clothes, Lu Mingfei prepared to go out with his health insurance card.
After the plane landed, he changed his identity from Junjiro Ito to Sorachi Shinsei, a 2D otaku who liked to wear a yellow cartoon T-shirt and brown casual pants and silently spy on everyone.
Lu Mingfei simply changed his clothes, combed his hair into the same middle-parted style as Brother Ji, put on a pair of thick-framed black glasses and a baseball cap, and carried a bulging backpack on his shoulders. The aura of a otaku instantly came over him.
He felt that with his dignity, if nothing else, at least the opposite sex would automatically keep a safe distance of two meters.
If he had a camera hung on his chest, the subway police would probably keep a close eye on him. After all, there are so many stories about secret photography and stalking in this country that they have been made into movies and sold all over the world.
After saying hello to Ling and the others, Lu Mingfei headed to the subway station to take the Shinkansen to the University of Tokyo's College of Advanced Studies.
Don't worry about whether his wife is studying there, why not go and have a look and recall every moment he spent with her? Walking out of the hotel, Lu Mingfei ignored all the strange looks around him, pressed down the brim of his hat and walked into the subway station.
He has been to Tokyo several times, most of the time to visit his hometown with his wife, to meet up with his second uncle, and to burn some paper for his father-in-law.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After buying the ticket and entering the station, Lu Mingfei found an empty seat and sat down, looking at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window. In his mind, he recalled the time when he brought his wife back to Japan for the first time after he and his wife confirmed their relationship.
At that time, he was just the god of StarCraft and had not yet entered the field of MOBA games. His popularity in Japan was also relatively average.
Of course, even after he won the championship at the Bird's Nest, his popularity in Japan was just that. They were not as enthusiastic about these events as China and South Korea.
It’s not that they don’t like real-time strategy games and MOBA games, it’s simply because they are a major gaming country, and PC games are indeed not well accepted in Japan.
At that time, Lu Mingfei had already achieved success and fame, so he naturally didn't need to squeeze into the subway like he does now, so he always traveled in his brother-in-law's car.
Yes, my brother-in-law still has some property in Japan.
My brother-in-law was a lawyer before he immigrated to France, but before becoming a lawyer, his biggest dream in life was actually to be a policeman who punished evil and promoted good and eliminated harm for the people.
It’s a pity that his family background is somewhat tainted, so it’s impossible for him to enter the political police system in this life. He can only be a lawyer to satisfy his ambition to protect justice.
Later, he graduated from college and became a rising star in the legal field. However, not long after that, his father passed away unexpectedly. After that, he was forced to take over the family business, and his own career was greatly affected.
In the end, he helped his father's subordinates to clean up their mess and successfully change their jobs, but he himself had to choose to immigrate to France.
Although he overlooked countless details, Lu Mingfei knew that many unspeakable things must have happened here. However, since his brother-in-law didn't mention it, he didn't ask any more questions.
The second uncle did not leave with his brothers and sisters. He took the stage name Kazama Kyoshiro and became a popular rock singer relying on the connections left by his father and brothers and his own excellence.
When Lu Mingfei and his friends came to Japan, his second uncle was planning to hold a concert at the Tokyo Dome.
My eldest uncle and my second uncle are twins. They look 70% similar but have completely opposite personalities.
The former is calm and introverted, while the latter is unbridled and outspoken.
Like when they first met, the eldest uncle almost sent Lu Mingfei, who kidnapped his sister, to prison, while the second uncle patted him on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up, saying:
"You are a brave boy. You kidnapped my sister in front of my brother and even approved of your relationship. Come on stage with me tonight as a special guest."
Lu Mingfei tried to refuse, but in the end, he was saved by the performance.
Because "Miracle Reappears" was not included in the concert playlist in advance, otherwise he would definitely be pulled up to sing a few words.
Lu Mingfei still remembers that the moment the handsome boy with a feminine look grabbed the microphone, he turned into a raging fire that ignited the entire Tokyo Dome and made everyone present become excited.
Even his wife, who was timid and never dared to do anything out of the ordinary in public, shook her head to the passionate melody and sang along loudly in his ears.
If he complained quietly that she was not singing in tune, she would pinch the soft flesh on his waist with her delicate fingers, gently squeezing and twisting it in protest.
Before he could even cry out in pain, his brother-in-law who was quietly recording the video next to him gave him a death stare. It turned out that this hopeless sister-con had been secretly recording his sister's singing as a souvenir, and his sister refused to speak again after he interrupted her.
So much so that at the celebration party for the concert that day, Lu Mingfei always felt as if a dead gaze was lingering around his throat while he was eating.
"Huh! Why do I feel a little cold?"
The memories were interrupted by a sudden sneeze. Lu Mingfei touched his nose and suddenly felt a chill on his back.
