Act III One Day of Freedom
(1)specimen experiment
When she woke up, Lu Mingfei was in a classically decorated study. He was lying on a leather bench. There was a lotus-shaped crystal chandelier on top of his head and bookshelves all around him.
Lu Mingfei sat up and looked around. The professor was dozing off by the desk.
"You're awake? Lu Mingfei's voice woke Professor Guderian up. He lifted his messy head from the table. "Where is this place?"
Did we fail? I thought the train had crashed into a mountain.”Lu Mingfei still had lingering fear.
We've already reached Kassel College Road, and the journey has been smooth. How could we have crashed into a mountain? "It's just that you were too frightened during the admission tutoring, so you directly asked to go over, so you were carried off the train…" Professor Guderian said,"I'm not going to go over." In the past, the students who received the entrance guidance were also quite surprised. However, such a big reaction from you was really unprecedented.
I'm not overreacting, I'm just…Fine, I just ran out of money. I slept at the train station for three days straight and only ate three sandwiches during that time. Lu Mingfei suddenly raised his voice.'But you said' dragon 'on the train? Is the noble university I went to study abroad a training school for dragon slayers?' Please!"
" Are you that afraid of dragons?" Gordian shrugged.”
"I just think you're crazy, Professor. The way you talked to me just now…Have you seen 'Terminator'?”Lu Mingfei shook his head.
"I have. It's the work that made the governor of California famous.”Gordian didn't understand.
" It's just like how John Connor's mother told the police in the police station that she saw a robot that came back from time travel. He came from an era when humans were almost extinct, and the robot was shooting around with a laser rifle..." Lu Mingfei nodded." So... the police think she's crazy..."
"Do you think I'm crazy?”
"Or I did it."
" Well, we have prepared some proof for the new students. Some of them have poor perception..." Professor Guderian clapped his hands.
The door to the study opened, and a middle-aged man with the words " I'm Japanese " written on his face walked in quickly. There was a black suitcase in each of his hands, and the silver metal edges looked quite sturdy and reliable. After he placed the two suitcases on the table, he bowed respectfully to Lu Mingfei and introduced himself in fluent Chinese." My name is Masashi Tomiyama, a psychological counselor at Kassel Academy. It's a pleasure to meet our'S 'grade freshmen. It's been more than 40 years since we've had an'S' grade freshman.”
" I'm very happy. Can I ask what kind of person that'S 'grade freshman from 40 years ago was? A peerless dragon-slaying expert?" Lu Mingfei had already gotten used to using these people's train of thought to speak.
"Maybe he had a chance, but Snow Bunting committed suicide in his second year of university, so there was no follow-up.”Masashi Toyama was very frank.
"Snow Bunting committed suicide?"
" Because my grades were too good and my mind was very sharp, I fell into some philosophical difficulties when I was studying the dragon code. I couldn't get out of it for a while, so I fell. Later on, we added a psychology instructor.”Masashi Toyama said.
" That's great." Lu Mingfei felt a little relaxed." Professor Guderian just said that I'm slow.”
"But you have potential! My dear student!" Professor Salderian happily gave Lu Mingfei and Masashi Tomiyama a thumbs up, obviously implying that he was the best student. Lu Mingfei had no idea what he was so happy about.
"We brought two pieces of evidence that prove that dragons do exist in this world. These two pieces are very high-level cultural relics. We specially borrowed them from the academy's archives.”Masashi Tomiyama opened the first suitcase with his password and fingerprint. Inside the suitcase was black foam. After removing the layers of foam, Lu Mingfei saw a piece of black scale. It was about the size of half a palm and was in the shape of a perfect shield. The surface was so smooth that it looked like it had been newly oiled. The texture was clearly visible under the oil.
"Give it a squeeze." Masashi Toyama encouraged.
Lu Mingfei carefully picked up the scale. He felt that it was fake. It felt like steel, cold and tough, but very light. At this moment, Masashi Tomiyama grabbed his hand and stuffed something cold into his palm. Lu Mingfei was terrified. It was actually a pistol.
"Walter's PPK pistol, caliber 7.65mm, initial speed 280m/s, effective range 50m. The guys in the equipment department made some improvements to it. Now, you can try to use it to shoot at that scale.”Masashi Toyama took the scale and placed it on the windowsill.
"I know this gun…007 uses it too.”Lu Mingfei's face was pale.
"Yes, that classic 007 pistol.”Masashi Tomiyama covered his ears and said," It's fine. Just shoot. Aim at the scales, not us."”
Lu Mingfei raised his gun with a bitter expression. He aimed at the scale according to what he had learned during his high school military training. He took a deep breath and clenched his teeth as he pulled the trigger.
With a loud bang, Lu Mingfei felt as if he had been hit in the chest by a heavy hammer. He almost fainted. The recoil from the modified PKK made him feel as if he had just fired a cannonball. He flipped backward and crashed into the sofa behind him. His eyes were filled with stars.
"So he's not the kind of student with excellent physical strength!”Masashi Toyama's surprised voice rang in his ear." Maybe I should have brought an ordinary revolver.”
"Are you going to destroy the Dragon Eye with one shot?”
"It has to at least leave a mark on the fourth or fifth generation to be considered a good gun.”Masashi Toyama said.
Lu Mingfei woke up with difficulty. The first thing he saw was Professor Guderian and Masashi Tomiyama's worried faces. The second thing he saw was the black scale in Masashi Tomiyama's hand. It was a flawless black scale, and nothing had left a mark on its surface. Lu Mingfei was very confident that his shot had hit the center of the scale.
A gun that was comparable to an aerial cannon could pierce through that scale.
"This is the dragon scale. Sven Hedin discovered it in the ancient city of Loulan in Xinjiang in 1900. He didn't recognize it, but he found that neither fire nor hammering could damage it, so he brought it back to Europe from China. Someone in Europe recognized it, and that person was called Menech Cassel. Do you believe in the existence of dragons now?”Masashi Toyama said.
"Can't it be high-tech?" Lu Mingfei was still stubborn.
"Even titanium alloy made from nanotechnology can't block such a shot, right?”Masashi Tomiyama said," I have a PhD in materials science from Tokyo University. You have to believe me.”
Lu Mingfei thought that not only were there lunatics everywhere, but there were also highly educated lunatics everywhere.
"Alright, then, the second proof is that you need to use your eyes instead of your brain to think.”Masashi Toyama stood up and opened the second suitcase. A cylindrical glass bottle was placed in front of Lu Mingfei. It looked like the bottle that the biology teacher used to store specimens in.
Lu Mingfei's mouth was wide open as if he had been struck by lightning. If Masashi Tomiyama had stuffed an orange into his mouth, he probably wouldn't have noticed.
Soaked in the pale yellow formalin solution was an animal that looked very much like a lizard. It was yellow-white and had a curled up slender tail, like a fetus in the womb. The scales on its body and the long whiskers on its mouth were slowly fluttering in the solution. When its eyes were closed, it looked as peaceful as a baby. If it wasn't for the fact that it had two wings on its back, Lu Mingfei would have thought that it was some kind of ancient lizard.
" This is the cub of a red dragon. It's not dead yet. It's very difficult for dragons to die. Even if you kill it, it's only temporary. They will slowly recover in their sleep," Masashi Tomiyama said." This is a very rare specimen. Usually, it's difficult for humans to capture a complete dragon because the dragon's brain can feel the radiation of the human brain. They will either attack before humans approach or escape. This specimen was found in India in 1796. Fortunately, this red dragon cub was probably swallowed by a python when it just hatched. The local farmer killed the python and got the baby from its stomach.”
"Is it really not plastic?" Lu Mingfei sounded like he was about to cry.
"Take a closer look at the details and the patterns of the scales. What kind of artist can make such a perfect plastic product?”Masashi Tomiyama brought the glass bottle to Lu Mingfei's eyes.
Now, Lu Mingfei was facing the red dragon cub through a half-centimeter-thick layer of glass. Its membrane wings and long whiskers were fluttering in the solution, as if it was floating in the clouds. If it was still alive and could feel each other's breath, it might spit out a deadly flame and burn Lu Mingfei's face completely. Masashi Tomiyama was right. The details and lines were too realistic. Only nature or God could give birth to such things. They existed in the shadows of history, in the legends of different ethnic groups, in the limits of human imagination, and in this sealed glass bottle.
"Perfect, isn't it?" Masashi Tomiyama praised.
"Perfect." Lu Mingfei mumbled.
He stared at the hard membrane that covered the Dragon's Eye and thought of the pair of golden eyes that slowly opened in the darkness. It was as if the gate to the world had opened before his eyes.
The Golden Eyes opened. Suddenly, the baby Red Dragon that was soaked in the formalin solution opened its eyes. Its entire body trembled as if it was spasming. It stretched its neck and roared at Lu Mingfei. As it roared, the scorching dragon flames ignited deep in its throat and spewed out! It spread its wings with all its might and was about to break through the shackles of the glass bottle. It woke up. Its body was as big as a cat, but it carried the majesty of a dragon.
Lu Mingfei lost the ability to scream and dodge. The three of them were dumbfounded as they watched the ancient specimen resurrect in front of them.
The tiny flame was immediately extinguished. The formalin solution poured into the baby dragon's throat, causing it to cough in pain like a drowning person. At the same time, it could not break through the glass bottle. It shook its membrane wings forcefully, but it did not even leave a mark on the glass wall. This time, the recovery that had accumulated for hundreds of years ended as quickly as it began. Soon, the dragon cub curled up again and returned to peace. It entered hibernation again.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Lu Mingfei was finally able to scream as he pointed at the glass bottle with a trembling finger.
"What is it called?" Professor Guderian muttered.
"Didn't you see? Didn't you see? It had come back to life just now! It came back to life! A living dragon!" Lu Mingfei shouted as he shook the dumbfounded old man.
" Yes," Professor Guderian turned to Masashi Toyama." You saw it too, right?”
Masashi Tomiyama's face was as pale as a sheet of A4 paper. He only nodded." Yes... but I really didn't want it to wake up. I didn't know it would wake up..." He suddenly raised his voice, almost screaming." What happened?" Did the people in the archives get the label wrong? It should be the year 2077! They'll kill us if they label us like this! It had just spat out dragon flames! Dragon flames!"
" Fortunately, we changed the nano material container from the year before last, or it wouldn't have been able to hold on just now," Professor Guderian said." Professor Manstein and I calculated its awakening date. It shouldn't be wrong unless it's a bloodline summoning."”
"Bloodline summoning?" Masashi Tomiyama turned to look at Lu Mingfei. His gaze was as if he was sizing up a monster.
"Other than bloodline summoning, what else can awaken dragons in advance?”Professor Guderian suddenly regained his spirit and patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder." It's your powerful bloodline that's summoning it. Lu Mingfei, do you know how amazing you are now?”
Lu Mingfei's shoulders were about to collapse from his pat." What? Don't push this kind of fatal accident onto me! I didn't do anything!"
"The Dragon Emperor can make humans submit to him with just his gaze. You don't have to do anything because you're a mixed-blood dragon with the ability of a second-generation seed!”Professor Guderian's eyes were filled with ecstasy.
"What mixed-blood? My father is a human, and my mother is also a human. Have you read too much Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio? Did they think that the people of the Celestial Empire had children?”Lu Mingfei couldn't stand the old man's gaze.
"No, no, they are indeed all humans, but they are all mixed-blood dragons, so your bloodline contains a large proportion of dragon blood.”Professor Zhengderian chuckled." In fact, almost everyone in this academy is a dragon hybrid. You know about the priority, right? In addition to results and potential, the most important thing to determine the priority was the bloodline class.”
Lu Mingfei shuddered. He felt like Professor Guderian was an old dragon that could spit deadly flames at his face at any moment. What was this place? A dragon hybrid from the First Academy. What was the difference between this place and the dragon nest? And he felt that he was in this lizard's nest... a little white rabbit. Fortunately, Professor Guderian said that he had a high proportion of dragon blood. Before coming here, his family, his life, and the girl he liked had nothing to do with dragons. Why was he suddenly regarded as a reptile when he was a good teenager who grew up under the red flag?
"But don't worry, if your dragon bloodline doesn't exceed 50%, then students who exceed 50% won't be accepted. Although their potential is far beyond ordinary people, the dragon bloodline will slowly assimilate them into dragon followers.”Professor Guderian said.
"Then do you have a grudge against dragons?"
" The whole human race has a grudge against the dragon race, not us." Professor Guderian pondered for a moment." But you have to explain this in detail in your introductory class on the dragon family lineage. Your teacher will be our best teacher in the theory of the dragon race, Professor Manstein." Now that you know about the existence of the dragon race and understand the purpose of our academy, can we start choosing our courses now?”
"Is it too late to drop out now?" Lu Mingfei shrugged.
"Then your parents will be very disappointed…and the agreement you just signed includes the term 'memory cleaning'. If you drop out of school, this memory will be erased. You've already seen the real world, do you really want to quit just like that?”
" There are dragons in the real world, but not in our world…" Lu Mingfei said.
"There are more than just dragons in the real world. The world is so vast that you can't imagine it. Compared to it, the world you know is just a grain of rice placed in the wilderness.”Masashi Toyama said.
"In short, if I choose to be a small grain of rice now, will I lose my memory?”Lu Mingfei sounded like he was about to cry. However, he was tempted. The real world was just a grain of rice. Those who lived in a grain of rice would never know the vastness of the wilderness. In the middle of that vast wilderness, the Dragon Emperor stood tall and upright. When you see the real, vast world, are you still willing to shrink back into the rice grains?
" It's not just amnesia." Professor Guderian stood behind Lu Mingfei and patted him on the shoulder." Think about it. Your parents are dragon descendants, and your uncle and aunt don't like you. You obviously have no other strengths. If you lose your memory and are sent back to China, you have to repeat a year of college. Can you imagine how miserable your life will be?”
This seemingly simple-minded old fellow accurately hit Lu Mingfei's weakness. His slight yearning for the grand world and his great fear of repeating the college entrance examination instantly crushed him. He didn't have any principles that he had to stick to. He was a person who didn't have a sense of existence.
He took a deep breath and raised his hand." Alright, I agree to choose the course.”
" My suggestion is for you to choose 'Introduction to Dragon Family Lineage',' Level 1 Magical Machinery Design 'and' Level 1 Alchemy Chemistry 'as your major courses. For foreign languages, I suggest you choose' Ancient Norse language'. For physical education, you can choose 'Tai Chi Fist' and 'Physical Fitness.' This way, you will get 13 credits. 13 classes per week is not too much. The dean said that your parents called and asked to raise the requirements for you. If you follow my schedule, you'll soon master the core knowledge of the dragon race. I'll make you the second well-deserved'S 'grade student in Kassel Academy in more than 40 years!”Professor Guderian was obviously prepared, and his eyes were shining with excitement.
"What kind of parents don't understand their children…Do they think I'm a genius? What was the Ancient Norse language? Can you tell me what that thing is?”Lu Mingfei took a deep breath." Alright, I want to ask directly. If I fail…what will happen?”
" Re-study, it's just re-study. Unless there are special circumstances, Kassel Academy will not expel students. Some students have failed their subjects for several years or even decades.”Professor Guderian said in a comforting tone," Do you remember Fingel? He has been in the fourth grade for four years, but he has never passed his thesis defense. Actually, I think that he chose the dragon nervous system as a topic that is a little too deep.”
Lu Mingfei didn't think that this was comfort. This was a blatant threat.
"Cheer up. At least as I promised, you can skip Chinese.”Professor Guderian saw Lu Mingfei's uneasiness. He clenched his fist and encouraged him," You have to believe that you are the best! You're an unprecedented'S 'class. The principal specially asked me to be your instructor.”
"Alright, I agree. I'll sign it. I'll sign everything. There's one last question left. Why do you have to study Chinese? Why are you all speaking Chinese?" Lu Mingfei said.
" That's why our school, which has never recruited students from Asia, specially reserved a spot for Chinese students this year." Professor Guderian and Masashi Tomiyama looked at each other." Because this round, Dragon King Norton's resting place is in China." Kassel Academy has made modern Chinese a compulsory course since the year before last, because each of you is shouldering the task of going deep into the hinterland of China to kill the Dragon King!”
"No wonder you were assigned jobs after graduation…If you were to teach something like this elsewhere, people would think that you're crazy.”He sighed to Ming Fei.
"Yeah, according to the documents you signed, we even helped you pay for your medical insurance!”Professor Guderian said.
"Baishou, you guys are in the dragon-slaying industry. How can you live without medical insurance? How much is the highest amount of insurance? 50 million USD?"
"It's to fly your body back to China for free…"
“What？”Lu Mingfei's eyes were wide open like copper bells, and his head was buzzing. He thought of a corpse covered in a white sheet being found off the plane with a familiar name on the label on his head-" Lu Mingfei."
2. The Burning Chess Piece
When they walked out of the office, they saw the people from the maintenance department looking for a toolbox to repair the big hole in the window that had been shot by the machine gun. They were the strongest carpenters Lu Mingfei had ever seen. Everyone had a face like a special forces soldier. Their strong muscles seemed to be able to tear through tight t-shirts, and their gazes were as cold as daggers.
"They are also responsible for the daily security of the school. They are all people who have made outstanding contributions to the Navy SEALs.”Masashi Tomiyama saw through Lu Mingfei's confusion." But they're nothing. When you meet the executive officers, you'll realize that they're all ordinary people.”
Lu Mingfei tried hard to imagine the Executive Department's officers who were even more extraordinary than the maintenance department's combat machines. He thought of the indomitable Gundam. However, he didn't care anymore. The huge mental impact turned him into a wilted chicken. Professor Guderian patted him on the shoulder and sent him out of the medieval building. Outside, there were green lawns, crimson cobblestone roads, and classical buildings. In the distance, pigeons were flying on top of buildings that looked like churches.
At least the sunlight helped Lu Mingfei regain some of his energy. He thought that he still had to ask clearly what kind of role his parents played in this case. When he was young, he didn't think that his seemingly ordinary parents would be so evil as to kill their only son. Could he have been picked up?
" My mother…" Lu Mingfei had just said this when he suddenly heard a shrill air-raid siren. The siren echoed in the campus like a roaring ghost, giving people goosebumps. Professor Guderian and Masashi Tomiyama's expressions instantly turned serious, indicating that the situation was terrible.
"Ah? Is it an air raid?" Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded." The dragons are attacking? Would the dragons use air strikes? Yes, they can fly!"
After he shouted, he realized that he had obviously accepted Kassel Academy's philosophy of " there are indeed dragons in this world." But at the same time, he found something strange. The campus was so big, but it was empty. Other than the maintenance department staff, only he, Professor Guderian, and Masashi Tomiyama were standing on the lawn. Even if the leave hadn't ended, this was too unreasonable.
"Find something to hide! Find something to hide! Damn it, they're about to start!" Professor Guderian shouted.
"Let's go back to the office and hide for a while!”Masashi Toyama's expression was solemn.
Lu Mingfei was still thinking about how the dragons would attack the last fortress of the Dragon Slayer when a group of people in black combat suits and M4s appeared on the stairs of the small building behind them. The group of maintenance department officers dutifully rushed out of the office as if to stop them, but the other party quickly raised his gun and fired. The men who looked like special forces soldiers fell the moment they rushed out of the office door and waved their arms.
Lu Mingfei's mind went blank. He thought that he could use the medical insurance to send the body back to China immediately.
Before those people pointed their guns at Lu Mingfei, Masashi Toyama dragged him and Professor Guderian into the narrow passage between the buildings. The soldiers in black combat uniforms completely ignored these three targets and flashed past the narrow road at high speed. Meanwhile, people in dark red combat uniforms rushed out of the peaceful and beautiful church. This extremely quiet campus suddenly became a battlefield. People rushed out of every building. They were divided into groups by the color of their uniforms. Everyone was armed and shot mercilessly when they saw each other. Many people were knocked down the moment they appeared.
"What does the leader of the society want to do? What was his name again? He doesn't want his credits to be deducted, right?" Professor Guderian covered his ears and roared at Masashi Toyama.
"Have they passed the exam?" Masashi Tomiyama said as he squatted down with the agility of a Warrior. Lu Mingfei could almost hear the whistling sound of the bullet passing by in front of him. He couldn't see it clearly, but he knew that it was definitely a real bullet. If he had been a second slower, Masashi Toyama would have collapsed like the maintenance department's officers. He was completely dumbfounded. Was the student union of this school taking martial arts as their duty?
"His name is Caesar Gattuso!" Masashi Toyama straightened up and said angrily," That rich kid who drove his Bugatti Veyron across the campus!”
He took out the ground cannon version of the PPK from his pocket and reloaded the magazine. His face was filled with the determination of the commando team to charge into the battlefield.
"I'll remember this time. If he chooses my class, I'll let him know his principles!”Professor Guderian shouted.
As he finished his sentence, a high-speed bullet entered his body with great kinetic energy, leaving a smoking hole in his suit that hadn't been ironed for a long time. Blood splashed out. Professor Guderian looked down at the bullet hole in his body and pulled Lu Mingfei to say," Your course list..."
Then, he collapsed to the ground. Masashi Toyama, who had tried to pounce on him and drag him away, was shot in the back. He seemed to have been pushed from behind and suddenly took a few steps forward, never to get up again.
"This can't be a joke, right?”Lu Mingfei shouted in his heart. Right in front of him, someone had really died.
He hid behind a protruding outer pillar and felt the rain of bullets. The bullet grazed the tip of his nose. The campus had become a slaughterhouse. He had not even been assigned a dormitory. He did not even know which side was the dragon race and which side was the human race. And that damn Caesar Gattuso, the head of the student council, who was he? Lu Mingfei felt that his not-so-smart brain was now filled with paste. If he were to be shot through, it wouldn't be his brain that would spurt out.
"Damn it, what am I thinking?" He couldn't help but admire himself a little. Obviously, he could still let his imagination run wild at this critical moment of life and death. It could only be attributed to his lack of respect for his own life.
"Location! Location! The enemy still has forty-three people left!"
"The enemy has twenty-seven people left! There was a sniper who could not be located! He has already killed thirteen of us! Get rid of him!"
Both sides roared into the walkie-talkie while shooting continuously. The sound was so loud that it cut across the campus. Lu Mingfei thought that they did not actually need walkie-talkies. According to Northeastern Chinese, communication was basically based on shouting. However, the strange thing was that no one rushed into the narrow path where Lu Mingfei was. There were only cold bullets coming at him. Lu Mingfei stood like a log beside Professor Guderian and Masashi Tomiyama's bodies. He didn't know if he could use the word 'surging' to describe his feelings at this moment.
It was unknown how long this slaughter lasted. The peaceful campus was filled with smoke. From the church's exit to the direction of the Sunshine Restaurant, the lawn and the path were filled with corpses. Lu Mingfei guessed that his heart was already beating at the limit of 180 beats per minute. The adrenaline was secreted like sweat…He could have died at any moment, but he was fine…those soldiers who had been strictly trained seemed to have eyes on the back of their heads. They often turned around and shot the enemies who were raising their guns in the shadows. However, no one noticed that Lu Mingfei was a living person who had been waiting for death.
Lu Mingfei squatted on the ground and looked outside with his chin in his hand. He gradually saw something. The two groups of people in black combat uniforms and dark red combat uniforms were clearly opposing each other. They were both trying to charge at the other party's fortress. The Black Team's fortress was the small building they were in just now, while the Crimson Team's fortress was the church across the lawn. In addition, they had people lying in ambush in different buildings, but the parking lot in the middle of both sides 'positions was a meat grinder. When the stormtroopers from both sides tried to break through the other party's barrage, they had to force their way through the small parking lot. There wasn't enough cover there, and at least forty people had died there.
"If it was the Zerg, it would make sense for them to charge like this, but you can't continue to send troops…as a human, shouldn't you set up a tank to cover the battlefield first? It's good to create some smoke…or you can consider sending a shadow to drop a nuclear bomb.”Lu Mingfei let his imagination run wild in the rain of bullets.
When this thought came to an end, Lu Mingfei saw with his own eyes a Crimson Team combatant who was trying to rush through the parking lot with a black suitcase being knocked to the ground by a sniper rifle bullet from above. The overturned suitcase had a clear yellow nuclear symbol on it…
Lu Mingfei's face twitched as he smiled." That doesn't sound too bad…Being blown up by a nuclear bomb at such a close distance probably won't hurt at all…"
Thinking of this, he really wanted to lie down and sleep.
The smoke dispersed slightly, and a deep and powerful voice came from all directions. It was broadcasted through a certain loudspeaker system." Caesar, how many of you are still alive? Do you still want to continue?"
" Chu Zihang, well done." The other party's voice seemed to come from the same loudspeaker system, with a cold smile." I'm left with only me and a girl. Do you want to use a girl to charge?"”
"Chu Zihang?" Lu Mingfei was stunned. He wanted to poke his head out of the narrow path to take a look. He found the name familiar.
"I only have one girl left, but unfortunately, she's the sniper who gave you a headache. As long as she locked onto the parking lot, you wouldn't be able to get in. Unfortunately, she wasn't the material to infiltrate.”
"It can't be a dead end, right? Wouldn't that be a pity?"
"Caesar, are you chatting with me? When I said that, why did I hear the sound of bullets being loaded?”
"No, I'm unloading the bullets in my magazine. I only have a Desert Eagle and seven 0.5-inch AK bullets.”Caesar probably deliberately placed the magazine close to the microphone. The sound of bullets leaving the magazine was crisp and pleasant, and it carried the killing intent of a sharp blade leaving its sheath.
After a moment of silence, it was as if thousands of iron soldiers had landed on the table." These are all the 32 9mm bullets in my Uzi. I threw them all on the table. Are your magazines empty?"”
"Empty. I only have a hunting knife left. What about you?”
"Of course it's that 'Murasame' sword. This is my commanding sword.”
"See you in the parking lot."
"Very good."
The hissing sound of the electric current in the loudspeaker suddenly stopped. Obviously, both sides had cut off communication. The campus with hundreds of corpses suddenly became as quiet as a dead city. The smoke of weapons filled the battlefield like a layer of morning fog. Lu Mingfei hid in the narrow path and looked up. The sun shone through the smoke and shone on him, giving him a hazy aura. Lu Mingfei felt that something terrible was about to happen, so he pretended to be dead next to Masashi Tomiyama and Professor Guderian's bodies…
He was only half a foot away from Professor Guderian's face. He looked at the old man's lifelike face and thought that he was really good to him. Although he didn't know him well, he was full of expectations. He was killed for no reason. He felt a little sad.
He squinted his eyes into a line and looked outside. This was also one of his unique skills. His uncle and aunt had always thought that Lu Mingfei was especially lazy and would sleep until four or five o'clock in the afternoon. In fact, he just liked to lie in bed and read. When his uncle and aunt or Lu Mingze's footsteps came from outside the house, he immediately hugged his book to his chest and pretended to be asleep. He practiced his skills repeatedly and could narrow his eyes into extremely thin slits, through which he could observe the movements with his dead fish-like eyes, as if he was sleeping soundly.
The doors of the church and the small building opened at the same time, and the heavy combat boots took the first step almost at the same time.
The man in dark red held a military hunting knife that was about half a meter long. The black blade was branded with golden patterns, while the man in black held a Japanese sword. The blade reflected the sunlight and was dazzling.
"What the hell? Physical combat?" Lu Mingfei thought," They're already charging with miniature nuclear bombs, yet they're still engaging in melee combat?”He felt that these people were completely out of their minds, but since these people's actions had always been illogical, he gradually got used to it.
The man in the dark red occupation uniform stood at the side of the parking lot. He took off the mask on his head. His long, golden hair was scattered down, and his face was as clear as a Greek sculpture. He was so handsome that it was impossible to look at him. His eyes were a rare ice-blue, and there was no warmth in his gaze. He tossed the hunting knife in the air, expressionless. The person in black robes opposite him also took off his mask, revealing his black hair. Lu Mingfei could only see his back. He saw that his hard hair was not obedient at all. It pointed in different directions, as sharp as a sword.
"To be able to walk in front of me, you are stronger than I thought.”The blond man said as he looked at the edge of the hunting knife.
"I don't feel honored to be praised by Caesar.”The black-haired young man replied coldly.
"But it ends here." Lu Mingfei said in his heart.
He was trying to guess Caesar's lines. The conversation between the two was as silly as the hero meeting the devil in a game.
"But it ends here! Chu Zihang!" Caesar actually said that.
However, Lu Mingfei was not in the mood to laugh. The moment Caesar said this, he had already shot out like a sharp arrow, like an eagle swooping down from the sky! He roared like a thunderclap. The hunting knife and the arm could no longer be identified. That was because his faster speed made his knife almost invisible!
This was a swing that was meant to kill a person. It was sharp, tough, and murderous, carrying the majesty of an emperor. With a slash like this, even a piece of metal in front of him would be cut open.
However, Chu Zihang was not made of iron. The long knife in his hand was made of iron. He stood still and did not move. The long knife slowly swept across an arc and froze in mid-air. The moment Caesar's almost sure-kill attack came, Chu Zihang's knife suddenly disappeared. With just a shake of his wrist, Chu Zihang's long knife made a big flash and hit Caesar's knife tip with a small force. This was a skill that surpassed speed and strength. The knife was a lever, and the force on the tip of the knife would transmit the greatest force to the wrist of the person holding the knife. The time Chu Zihang chose was the moment before Caesar really exerted force. The moment before Caesar's power erupted, he struck the weakest point of Caesar's power. With Lu Mingfei's eyes, he could not see these details clearly. He only felt that Caesar had rushed in front of Chu Zihang. Chu Zihang did not move and only dodged with half his body. Caesar seemed to have hit a stone wall. He staggered slightly, leaned back, and then took a few steps back.
Caesar's emperor-like aura was completely blocked by Chu Zihang. Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that his breathing was smooth.
The air was filled with the sound of metal buzzing. It was Chu Zihang's long knife vibrating rapidly. He looked at his sword and nodded." Compared to Dictrudo, Murasame is still inferior.”
Before he could finish his words, Caesar once again brandished the hunting knife called " Dictator ". Although Lu Mingfei's history was not very good, he knew that it meant " dictator " in ancient Rome. This hunting knife in Caesar's hands did indeed have a strong aura like a dictator, while the " Murasame " in Chu Zihang's hands was like a ghost that blended into the air, always flashing and making fatal slashes.
Lu Mingfei had heard of " Village Rain "'s sword. He played all kinds of pirated games and was proficient in game weaponry. " Murasame " was an evolved version of " Muramasa ". The famous Japanese sword " Muramasa " would automatically turn into the demon sword " Murasame " after killing a thousand people. After killing, the sword would naturally drip with rainwater to wash away the blood. However, Lu Mingfei had also done some research and knew that this sword did not exist in Japanese history. It was just a fictional story written by a playwrights during the Edo period, Quting Maqin, in the Legend of Hachi Inu in Minamisori. And there was actually someone who pulled out such a knife here. This made Lu Mingfei finally understand how correct the Adidas maxim " I can't possibly be nothing " was. Now, even if Caesar pulled out Frostmourne from his back, Lu Mingfei wouldn't find it strange.
The life-and-death battle between the two sides evolved into a dance performance. Caesar pushed forward with strength and speed, but he always had to retreat under Chu Zihang's flash attacks. The speed of both sides was so fast that Lu Mingfei could not see clearly. One was a blurry black figure, and the other was a blurry dark red figure. The strong sunlight reflected by the village rain mixed together and could not be separated.
The vibration of Chu Zihang's knife in the air became more and more intense. Mixed with Caesar's angry roar, the murderous aura was thick and viscous.
Faint footsteps came from behind the narrow path. Lu Mingfei was stunned and his ears perked up slightly. His auricle muscles had not completely degenerated, and his ears could still move. He seemed to be able to hear sounds very clearly.
It was indeed the sound of footsteps slowly approaching. Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that the other party might have a gun. He wished he could immediately cover his disobedient ears so as not to expose that he was the last living person here.
However, the other party had already switched from Stealth to Running and was heading straight for Lu Mingfei. His speed was extremely fast, unbelievably fast. Lu Mingfei's heart sank. He had finally been discovered. It was all because of that pair of damned rabbit ears that he supposedly inherited from his father.
He did not even have the time to jump up and raise his hands to say, I surrender! I'm an innocent passerby! The approaching person stepped on his back and leaped lightly over his " dead body " and flashed out of the narrow path.
The other party leaped up very lightly, but Lu Mingfei was directly stepped on, and it happened to step on his lungs. He squeezed out a breath and couldn't help but let out an " ouch."
The man in the dark red divination suit was shocked. He pulled out the Colt pistol at his waist, turned around, and squatted down at the same time. He sat cross-legged and pointed behind him.
Lu Mingfei raised his head and met the man's eyes. He saw her eyes. It was a pair of charming eyes, but they were as sharp as knives. It was so familiar that it surprised him. There was also her dark red hair that was combed into a ponytail, and the shiny four-leaf clover earrings on her ears that swayed.
"Come, little white rabbit, give me a hug!”The voice jumped in his mind. It was the same pair of eyes that were looking at him when it said this. It was so beautiful that it made people tremble in fear.
"Nuonuo, it's me, it's me!”Lu Mingfei was elated. Other than the two lunatics who were still fighting, the last living person here was Chen Motong, whom he knew.
Then, he realized that Nono was from the Crimson Team. Other than Caesar, Nono was the girl from the Crimson Team. At this moment, Nono was only one step away from the Black Team's stronghold. Nono was also in that battle, so whether she would show mercy to him was completely unknown. There were no normal people here. Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that he had no idea what kind of girl Chen Motong or Nuo Nuo was. On the way from China to America and here, this was the girl who had made him feel at ease.
Why did he trust Nono? It was probably because she had helped him out before that he felt that he was not alone in this world. But why did Nono do that?
"You?" Nono was also a little surprised to see Lu Mingfei's face.
"Senior Sister, don't shoot. I don't know anything. I don't know why I'm here!”When Lu Mingfei realized that he and Nuo Nuo were still enemies, he hurriedly raised his hands." I surrender! I'm just a passerby!"
"Get down!" Nono was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she shouted at Lu Mingfei and fired at the same time.
Lu Mingfei didn't even think twice before he fell flat on the ground. The bullet whistled past Lu Mingfei's head. It was just a hair's breadth away from blowing his head off. The target of the bullet was the person behind Lu Mingfei. The girl in the black combat uniform was lying flat on the ground with her sniper rifle. Her figure was blocked by Lu Mingfei, who had straightened his body. Lu Mingfei did not see how she appeared behind him, but Nono knew that she had jumped out of the side window with a gun and landed in the narrow path.
Nono's bullet left the barrel a moment later. A flash of light shot out from the sniper rifle's barrel. A 0.5-inch bullet brushed past Nono's pistol bullet and hit Nono's chest.
Lu Mingfei stared blankly at the large amount of blood that spread across Nono's chest, dyeing his dark red combat uniform black. Nono was almost knocked to the ground by the bullet, but she used the last of her strength to sit still. She looked down at the wound on her chest and shook her head at Lu Mingfei. She was a moment too late and the bullet bounced off the wall.
Lu Mingfei turned around and saw the black muzzle of the gun emitting smoke. There was no way to treat a person who was hit by a sniper rifle with such a large caliber at this distance. The bullet would completely shatter the person's internal organs into blood.
He turned back to look at Nono, unable to believe his eyes, but the dripping blood reminded him that everything was real.
Was it all true?
It was all true.
His head suddenly throbbed with pain, as if something was trying to come out from deep inside. His vision turned black, and there seemed to be purple snakes swimming silently on the black screen. Behind those snakes, brilliant golden eyes opened, and a voice that sounded like a bell rang in his ear." Are you willing to trade?”
Exchange? Exchange for what?
However, there was a vague desire that made him want to agree. It was as if it would be different if he agreed. The moment he agreed, something would change.
What did he want to change? What else could he change? Nuo Nuo was dead, right in front of him. He really wanted to save her, but he didn't have the ability.
"We won! Caesar! You have failed!" A girl with short black hair shouted at the two people in the parking lot who were still slashing at them.
Indeed, they had won. At this moment, neither Caesar nor Chu Zihang could leave the battlefield. Only this girl with dark hair and transparent white skin was left. She could easily walk to Caesar's stronghold and win the game that killed many people. Caesar could only watch helplessly. Originally, Caesar's tactic was to use himself to delay Chu Zihang so that Nuo Nuo would be caught off guard. However, Lu Mingfei appeared in a terrible position and ruined everything.
It was as if before the black and white sides reached the official position, an indescribable red chess piece suddenly appeared on the "calamity" of both sides.
The girl's cheers did not last long. The deafening gunshot from behind her drowned out her cheers. The bullets behind her carried a huge momentum and pushed her forward. She didn't believe it either. She struggled to turn around and saw Lu Mingfei holding the PKK left behind by Masashi Toyama, the pistol that had been modified to look like an aerial cannon.
The red chess piece suddenly burst into flames!
Caesar and Chu Zihang were obviously shocked by the loud gunshot and retreated at the same time. The situation on the battlefield changed continuously because of this strange red chess piece, and the two of them could not understand it. However, what they couldn't understand was what happened next. To be more precise, they were shocked. Lu Mingfei threw away the PKK and turned around to pick up the 0.5 caliber sniper rifle left behind by the female sniper.
"How did you sneak in?" Caesar raised his hand and was about to roar," Those who have nothing to do with it are eliminated!”
A large caliber bullet hit his chest. He staggered back two steps and fell to the ground.
Chu Zihang slowly turned around and stared at Lu Mingfei's pitch-black gun. Chu Zihang's golden pupils reflected the glint of the blade. He threw her away and slowly raised his hand." Who are you?”
