Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 97: The End of Fire (V)
This phrase "the waves behind push the waves ahead" makes it seem like Chu Zihang is going to hand over the Lionheart Club to Lu Mingfei in the future. Even though she is an S-rank and has just won the Freedom Day Victory, she is still just a newcomer who has been in Kassel for a short time! If there was no relationship between the two of them before, then he must be greedy for her body if he values her so much!
Susie suddenly felt that she was facing a powerful enemy. The little junior sister who came from heaven seemed to be her childhood sweetheart. This matter could not be neglected. If she was not careful, even her family property would be stolen by the opponent.
"How's Junior Sister doing?" Someone suddenly patted Lu Mingfei from behind, which put an end to her desire to eavesdrop.
After helping Caesar prepare, Nuonuo strolled around and saw Lu Mingfei sitting alone on the deck while Susie and Chu Zihang were talking not far away. Naturally, the little girl's thoughts could not be hidden from the witch, so Nuonuo decided to come over and tease Mingfei.
Nuonuo's position is very delicate in terms of identity. Susie is her best friend, and Lu Mingfei is her younger brother. These two people like the same cold and expressionless man, and there is bound to be a bloody Shura field in the future. But Nuonuo doesn't want to help Susie or Lu Mingfei. Things like feelings are natural and others can't help. She just wants to be a spectator, laugh at the loser and call her a fool, and then turn around and touch her head so that she can lend her shoulder.
"Very good!" He became shameless when he saw that it was Nono Lu Mingfei. Although his good senior sister liked to take advantage of him and bully him, she was the best in the martial arts world when it came to loyalty. Except for not showing up at the Amber Pavilion, she was a big brother in every aspect. "Everything she eats is delicious and her body is very healthy. Now I am ready to give the old Dragon King a beating of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms so that I can teach him how to be a dragon."
"How many times have I told you not to lie in front of your senior sister!" Nuonuo leaned over and grabbed Lu Mingfei's face from behind and pulled it hard, "You, you're almost writing your worries on your face! Tell me! Are you worried about this battle?"
"Yes... a little bit!" Lu Mingfei had to admit it.
“What are you afraid of! Senior sister, I’ll protect you! It’s just an old dragon. We’ve killed him once, so of course we can kill him a second time!” Nuo Nuo tied up Lu Mingfei’s hair. They were going to go into the water soon. The biggest difficulty for a girl with long hair to go into the water was the trouble with her hair.
Lu Mingfei had no way to answer and could only smile harmlessly. She couldn't say that she , because it was hard for her to be sure whether she was still herself at that time. She was a little worried that the strange state was like the Deadpool that her senior brother mentioned.
She was indeed worried about this battle, but it was not others but herself. She was not sure if she could make up her mind to kill Old Tang when she went into the water... No, now she should call him Dragon King Norton. The endless killing desire last time was definitely due to Lu Mingze. The war drum heart of the dragon clan overwhelmed the pity and cowardice of humans. This time, she might not enter the state of fearlessness. Maybe she would fail in the critical moment, which would cause too much trouble to others. Even if she didn't say it, she would feel that this so-called S-level Low wears the surface.
"Sister, do you think there is a way to avoid killing the dragon?" Lu Mingfei looked at the xenon lights on the river and said softly, "It's like everyone sitting down to drink tea and eat a meal. If we persuade them with emotion and reason, they will put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas right away."
"Are you being kindhearted?" Nuo Nuo also laughed and tapped Lu Mingfei's head twice. "The battle is about to begin, don't think about these nonsense!"
"It's just a casual question. It won't cause any harm." Lu Mingfei squatted down with her head in her hands in pain.
Possessing the innate sharp thinking ability of profiling, Nuonuo can easily see through people's hearts in many cases. She suddenly felt that Lu Mingfei was not sitting here to eavesdrop on the conversation between Chu Zihang and Su Si, but was worried about some difficult questions. Unfortunately, the information she had now was too little, and she could not confirm what the topic of the unexpected love was.
In this case, just go with the flow and act like a caring older sister. You promised to protect your junior sister, so now that you have won her heart, you naturally have to be responsible to the end. This is Nuonuo's sense of loyalty.
"When I first entered Kassel, I actually thought about the same question as you," Nono spoke seriously for the first time, but he did not forget to stop his work. "But I soon forgot about it, because Kassel Academy is like a place for me to test myself. It doesn't matter to me whether I can slay a dragon or not. I only care about what kind of person I will become here. Practical training, gun drills, fighting courses, etc. I learn all these just to improve myself."
"Senior Sister, you really have a tough life that needs no explanation." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but praise her. Nuonuo's way of living was her ideal self, but she couldn't do it now.
"Later, I participated in some internship tasks in the executive department, and I thought about this again. You may not believe it..." Nuonuo looked around and confirmed that no one could hear the conversation between him and Lu Mingfei, then he whispered, "I have raised a dragon."
“So awesome!” Lu Mingfei was surprised. This kind of thing sounds much more awesome than slaying a dragon. Killing your opponent may be easy, but to keep him captive requires conquering both his body and mind. This is just like what is said in the art of war: conquering the city is inferior to conquering the heart.
"It's not as big as you think. It's just a small creature of four or five generations. Its bloodline is already very thin. When I met it, it was still an egg-shaped cocoon, not even as big as my palm. I took it back for fun..." Nono stuck out his tongue, "It's very fun! And easy to talk to. It's not afraid of me at all. It can talk normally just a few days after it was born. I give it snacks and it tells me stories from the past. It feels like it has communicated with a pet from another world. But later it was discovered by Susie. She warned me that this behavior violated Cassel's school rules and asked me to kill it. Of course I didn't do that. Instead, I drove out at night and threw it into Lake Michigan. If it hadn't left, it would have grown into a big fish by now. Maybe people in the future will say it's the Michigan Monster."
"Aren't you afraid it will become something like Norton in the future?"
"I'm not really afraid of that. Its bloodline is not even as good as mine, so what can it do? The most important thing is that it doesn't care about the hatred between dragons and humans. It knows that it can't beat humans, so it won't seek death. It just wants to find a place to spend its old age. Not every dragon is born to rule the world like that!" Nono said, "I know that's what your textbook says, but that's only because you've only been exposed to the dragon world of Kassel. For example, the more secular faction of European hybrids have actually talked about cooperation with those fourth- and fifth-generation dragons. Kassel belongs to the more radical faction. In contrast, only the first- and second-generation dragons with noble bloodlines have the violent impulse to destroy the world. They must be eliminated. The textbooks won't tell you these things because they will affect your judgment of the dragon race."
"Then how did you know that, senior sister?" Lu Mingfei was very curious. Everyone in the same school used the same textbooks, but Nuo Nuo seemed to know a lot of different secrets.
"I come from an ancient mixed-blood family. The dragon world I have been exposed to since childhood is different from the textbooks in Kassel." Nono seemed very unhappy when talking about his family. His tone was indifferent as if he was discussing a group of insignificant guys . "They are all old guys who talk nonsense all day long, and they make young people a little crazy like them. It makes me angry just thinking about it, so I am too lazy to mention it. The only advantage is probably that they have taught me a lot of useful knowledge, which allows me to always get high scores in Kassel's exams and express different ideas from the professor."
"Oh." Lu Mingfei shut up obediently. Everyone has some things they don't want to mention. For Nuo Nuo, that should be her background. I heard that she never went back during the long vacations , but she was extravagant in spending money. It seems that the so-called family is indeed extraordinary.
“So do you feel better now?” Nuo Nuo turned back into the perverse little witch and patted Lu Mingfei’s face carelessly. “We are just going to kill some disobedient bad kids, not a group of dragon-killing demons. But the principal might be that kind of person, with his radical style.”
Lu Mingfei nodded to show that she deeply agreed. An old man who was determined to kill the Dragon King at the risk of his own life would certainly not just think about sacrificing himself to create opportunities for young people. Only hatred and oath were the driving force that kept him moving forward.
"I'm fine now, thank you, senior sister." Lu Mingfei smiled sweetly. It was no longer her habitual, fake smile. She already knew what to do after getting into the water.
“Do we still need to say thank you in the martial arts world? Wouldn’t it be nice if I could repay you with my body in the future?” Nuo Nuo finally tied Lu Mingfei’s hair into a bun, clapped her hands in satisfaction and admired her masterpiece, “Remember to listen to your senior brother after you go into the water. If you have any questions, contact me and Caesar in time. Support each other and you will return safely!”
After saying this, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and slapped her hands in front of her mouth, "This is not called flagging yourself, this is called stating the facts!"
Lu Mingfei sat on the deck and looked up at the night sky. The weather tonight was not good. There were no stars and no moonlight. The only thing was that the evening breeze was very refreshing. It was not as sharp as the bone-chilling cold of winter, and it made people feel very comfortable.
She took out the hairband that she had worn for a long time and had lost its color a little, and tied it on the bun. The eye-catching red color was just like the Chinese red that every Chinese person would wear during the Chinese New Year. She hoped that it would bring her good luck.
The preparation time passed quickly. Everyone had done warm-up exercises in advance to avoid getting cramps when going into the water. The masks were sealed and the diving suits were ready. Caesar, Nuonuo, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang lined up at the side of the boat.
"Your mission is to enter the Bronze City to lure Norton out. Don't fight and leave the Bronze City quickly. After that, Nono and I will take over, and Chu Zihang will be responsible for the command of Group B. Understand?" Caesar turned his head and looked at the three members. He was the commander-in-chief of the diving team.
Entering the Bronze City is obviously more risky than taking over support from outside, and the honor of success is also more glorious. Caesar should have taken on this part of the task, but he was with Nono and the Seven Deadly Sins who were inconvenient to move. Considering Nono's safety and the convenience of using the Seven Deadly Sins when necessary, he had to temporarily condescend and give this task to Chu Zihang.
Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei both nodded to show that they understood. The two of them were surprisingly consistent in their responses, worthy of being partners who had trained together for so long.
According to Cassel's action plan, two people must go into the water, and they cannot be lovers. However, since this action violated the will of the school board, Angers simply lifted the usual restrictions. Otherwise, Lu Mingfei should have partnered with Caesar, and Nono with Chu Zihang. According to Angers, how could those backward-minded abandoned children of the school board understand that men and women can work together without getting tired? Not to mention lovers!
This shows that the whole school has already tacitly accepted that Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang are hooking up, which is exactly what Lu Mingfei is planning to do. However, tonight is the last day of the three-month period. After the Spring Festival, Lu Mingfei will no longer have an excuse to ask her senior out on a date. This fake-play relationship should also be declared over. There has not been much progress in their relationship, which is really disappointing.
"Pay attention to your own oxygen gauges. You can only dive for a maximum of three hours. For safety reasons, you need to arrive twenty minutes in advance." Manstein squatted by the side of the ship and gave instructions.
"The data cable is also a lifeline. The outer layer of nanomaterials generally does not break. If you accidentally lose consciousness, we will use this rope to pull you back." Manstein pulled the black rope connected to Caesar's diving suit.
Lu Mingfei thought, come on, what do you mean by accidentally losing consciousness! You might as well just say we will recycle your body. The enrollment agreement has been signed. Who are you trying to fool at this point?
"The diving suit is specially made, fully enclosed, highly resistant to cold, and can withstand 20 atmospheres of pressure. The surface is made of nanomaterials. But be careful not to scratch it. The Bronze City is located about 400 meters underwater. Once there is a leak, not only will oxygen leak out, but the pressure difference at this depth will also cause severe decompression sickness." Manstein patted Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang on the shoulders, hoping to cheer them up with this action.
Lu Mingfei complained in her heart, "Professor, why don't you just say that we are going to die anyway?" It was obvious that this old German had never read the Chinese Art of War. He didn't know that maintaining the morale of the soldiers before going to war was a compulsory course for generals. He just talked about the serious consequences of death, as if he was a crow that only announced the death of a general.
