Volume 2 Hello, Xia Mi Chapter 163: Nibelung Hunt (Part 2)
Lu Mingfei sat up suddenly. There was still a storm outside the window, and the air conditioning was raging inside the room. Everything was the same as before. The only difference was that the air conditioner remote control had been placed on the table in front of her, and the air conditioner had been turned off.
Only when she came to her senses did she realize how cold it was. Lu Mingfei hugged her arms and shivered. The door of the suite was suddenly pushed open, and a wet figure came back carrying two large bags of food. She looked up and saw Lu Mingfei curled up on the sofa hugging a pillow, her face full of disbelief.
"Where the hell have you been!" Lu Mingfei raised her hand and threw the pillow over. Surprise, accident, or some emotions that she wanted to vent all burst out in an instant, causing her to find Finkel's shameless face particularly pleasing to the eye.
"Cock-a-doodle-doo!" Finger responded like a rooster, not even bothering to wipe the things in his hands, and put them on the table, "What's the matter? Who made you so angry?"
"Why do you still look so innocent?" Lu Mingfei was so angry, "Everyone is gone! Chu Zihang, Xia Mi, you, Caesar, Nuonuo, no one can be contacted, tell me why I am angry!"
"Fuck, no one came back?" Finkel was surprised. It seemed that he really didn't know the current situation. "Could it be that they didn't run away and were caught by the police?"
Lu Mingfei's face changed in shock: "What do you mean?"
"Xia Mi, I and Chu Zihang went to track down other hybrids. We thought that since we couldn't find out ourselves, we might as well look for clues from other people. We happened to run into Caesar and the bald man who had a conflict and had a fight in Liulichang. Soon the armed police arrived and surrounded the scene, and we could only flee separately. If they hadn't come back... I think they were most likely caught by the police." Finkel scratched his head.
"Then why didn't you come back earlier to tell me what happened?" Lu Mingfei was almost going crazy. Such a big change happened on the day she went out, and she didn't know about it until three days later.
"Don't be angry if I tell you this. I visited some local friends these days, thinking that since there are heroes to slay the dragon, there is no need for a small fry like me to get involved. Besides, who are the others? They are the A-level elites of Kassel. They will never get their feet wet in a place like this! But the reality always seems to be more cruel than imagined... Do you think they will be arrested and tortured as spies? The bald man used guns and rocket launchers in the fight..." Finkel murmured.
"If that really happens, I will tie you up and send you to the police station, saying that you are the mastermind, and bail out my brothers and sisters!" Lu Mingfei was furious. He didn't expect him to be of much use, but at least he shouldn't be a drag. This time it couldn't be called a drag, it should be called a missed opportunity, and he must be punished by military law!
"Don't be so irritable!" Finkel smiled awkwardly, trying to please the little princess. "It's not necessarily that they were all captured. After all, they are still elites in Cassel. Who knows, they may have already gone to slay the dragon and just don't have time to contact you."
"Is Fenrir's location so easy to find? Do we have to spend so much time here?" Lu Mingfei rolled her eyes. To be honest, this loser has been labeled as completely untrustworthy in her mind.
"Do you think we're just wandering around aimlessly? Just because we can't find it doesn't mean others can't find it!" Finkel proudly pulled out a subway card from his pocket and slapped it on the table, "This is Solomon's Key to the Dragon's Lair!"
Lu Mingfei was stunned. She felt that these golden cards looked familiar. She subconsciously squeezed the subway card that Esther gave her in her pocket. When she got this subway card, because of its special color, Lu Mingfei used it directly on her return trip. She saved several hundred yuan in it, which could be used for a long time. Lu Mingfei was quite happy to say that the farewell gift from the English girl turned out to be a subway card for the capital of China.
But now Finkel jumped out, took out a handful of identical things, and told her that this was not a subway card, but a magic tool for Open Sesame. Who the hell was he trying to fool!
"Do I look easy to fool?" Lu Mingfei was very unhappy, extremely unhappy. It seemed that her whole body was emitting black fighting spirit. If Finkel poked her again, her hair would stand up and she would transform into a Super Saiyan Girl.
"Brother, when have I ever lied to you?"
"Considering the deceptive posts you make on the Night Watchman forum every day, about 80% of what you say are lies." It's easy to pick up on someone's habits when you stay with him for a long time. Lu Mingfei, a liberal arts girl, occasionally speaks with Chu Zihang's data-based thinking.
"Isn't there still 20%? It's enough for daily life." Finkel perfectly let Lu Mingfei know what shamelessness meant. He picked up a subway card and shook it. "The gang leader in South America fought with Caesar just to grab this thing. Do you think it is so ordinary? Have you heard of Nibelungen? It is a world created by the dragon clan that intersects with reality. It belongs to the kingdom of the dead. If you want to meet a dragon king, you have to open the road to that world. If you don't have this key, you can never come back once you go there."
Lu Mingfei felt that these words were familiar, as if she had heard them somewhere not long ago.
She remembered that in that small restaurant, the urban legend that Esther told her was about the subway card, the golden subway card that could open the door to another world. Because everyone around her was talking nonsense, she didn't take it seriously. Now think about it, when Esther said goodbye, she specially gave her a golden subway card, which was obviously telling her that the story was true!
"I'm such an idiot!" Lu Mingfei flicked her head in frustration.
"Do you believe it?" Finkel was a little surprised, thinking how could it end when it hasn't even started yet.
"I believe it! Stop talking nonsense! Now make up for it. Go to the police station and ask if there is any news about them. I will go to the Dragon King to settle the score and see if he ate my brother!"
Lu Mingfei went straight to the bedroom. She had been staying in Chu Zihang's suite for the past two days, lying on the bed where Chu Zihang had slept, hoping that Chu Zihang would suddenly appear. Now that she finally got the clue, she would not wait obediently. Heroes like to save beauties, but if the hero is in trouble, who will respond to his call? The answer is of course the super-strong and invincible S-level beauty Lu Mingfei, who kicked the little dragon king away in mid-air, hugged the bruised Chu Zihang in her arms and gave him a sweet kiss, saying, "Leave it to me, my hero is the hero's script!"
She opened the wardrobe and saw a heavy black box lying in the corner. She stuffed the thing into Chu Zihang's large black backpack and pushed it behind her back. She almost lost her balance and fell out. This thing was heavier than she thought. She could only hold the shoulder strap to help.
The alchemical sword Seven Deadly Sins, Norton's weapon designed specifically for slaying dragons, Kassel Academy sent many teams to China this time, but only Lu Mingfei's team got the top equipment of Seven Deadly Sins. The S-level title is useful, and it has privileges in all aspects. It can be seen that even the vice-president is willing to trust Mingfei, and when Ange is unable to show up, he gives her the best things.
At 12:05 in the morning, Lu Mingfei arrived at Wangfujing subway station. The last train at this platform went to Sihui East and the station would not close until 08:08. She was lucky enough to arrive underground before the subway station stopped operating.
At this time, there were basically no people in the subway station. The last train had already left and even the people on duty had dispersed. Only a few cleaners were left who were preparing to close the subway for cleaning. The road leading to security check had been blocked by fences.
"You're late, little girl. Remember to come earlier next time!" The cleaning uncle raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Mingfei. Seeing that she was still standing there looking around with a large backpack that didn't fit her figure at all, he guessed that she was probably a girl from another place who had just arrived, so he kindly reminded her in Beijing dialect.
"Is the subway station going to close?" Lu Mingfei asked, standing on tiptoe to try to look past the uncle's figure to the gate behind.
"Well, the road will have to be repaired soon." The uncle pointed at the rolling shutter door behind her, which was ready to be closed. An old lady was standing next to the switch, waiting for the only guest to leave.
"Okay, thank you!" Lu Mingfei smiled harmlessly, and turned her toes as if she was going to look back. The next moment, she ran at high speed, bypassed the cleaner uncle, and went straight to the gate behind him.
Although the station was about to close, the power was not cut off and all security functions were in use as usual. The golden subway card was tapped on the gate. Before the uncle could catch up, Lu Mingfei had already run faster than a rabbit, leaving only her back. She did not even choose to take the regular route, but jumped lightly in front of the fence. As long as her fingers touched the fence, her body could pass through effortlessly.
The uncle was stunned, thinking that he might have met a gymnast. A beautiful girl who could participate in the Olympics would not do parallel bar spins with such a big bag on her back, right?
The lights around her suddenly flickered. Lu Mingfei looked back cautiously, but the uncle she had imagined was no longer chasing her. The air was filled with the buzzing sound of electricity, and a hazy indigo mist followed every place she passed, as if it had a strange will of its own.
She tried to turn around and walk in the opposite direction, and the fog would dissipate, but it didn't go away. It kept a certain distance from Lu Mingfei from beginning to end. No matter how fast she ran, she still walked very slowly. They were like a barrier that blocked the border in the game. As a player, she couldn't touch it. She could only sigh at the scenery in the distance and listen to the floating little guy in her ear repeatedly saying that she could explore the place ahead later.
There is no doubt that she succeeded. The golden subway card can indeed open the way to another world, but it does not work every time. She knows why. Standing here, she feels familiar, just like the hissing sound of electricity, as if someone is whispering behind you. Many years ago, the same strange sound appeared on the radio, and then death came. That night, it was also raining like this, as if to wash away everything in this world.
It is water. Odin's viaduct is also a Nibelungen, just like the Nibelungen in front of us. They all need water as a medium. The rapidly increasing water elements in the steam will become an invisible mirror in the hands of the dragons, thus reflecting this Nibelungen built on the basis of the real world and opening up the connection between them.
Standing here, I feel like I'm being watched by someone, perhaps the creator of this Nibelungen world. Lu Mingfei took out her cell phone, and sure enough, there was no signal. If someone wanted to contact her at this time, they would hear the familiar "The subscriber you dial is out of service area." This was what happened to Xia Mi.
It seems that the senior brothers are indeed in such a place... Although she is alone, Lu Mingfei is not afraid. She was once forced by Lu Mingze to defeat a dragon king, and even shot a dragon king to death. At that time, she was just a newbie, but now she can be called a half-big boss. Samson's ancient swordsmanship is taught to her without reservation. If she continues to practice, it is very likely that she can get the reputation of the world's number one swordsman.
She took off her backpack and put it on the ground, opened the sword box of the seven deadly sins, and lust sank to the bottom of the Yangtze River with Norton. The huge river water easily swept away such a small thing, and no one could find it back, so there were only six dragon-slaying swords left. For this, Angers and the vice-principal were heartbroken, and Lu Mingfei could only stand in the corner with her hands behind her back like a child who had done something wrong.
But no one would really blame her for this. The dragon-slaying mission was so dangerous, and it was worth it to exchange a knife for an S-level life. They thought so because Lu Mingfei had adapted what happened underwater, such as Norton sneaking up on Chu Zihang and then trying to sneak up on her, but she controlled the lust and made the stupid dragon rush up at high speed and get slashed, and the lust was lost in the collision, blah blah...
When she first saw this set of swords, Lu Mingfei was still a soft and sweet girl. She used all her strength but couldn't even pull out one of them. Now that she meets the old friend again, she feels a little eager to try.
She held the Taotie, and pulling it out was as easy as pulling out chopsticks to prepare for a meal, which gave her great confidence. So she attacked Greed, and Chu Zihang and Caesar had spent a lot of effort on this one. She also made full preparations and exerted force suddenly, but it was still easy to pull out the knife. The resistance she expected did not appear at all. Suddenly, she felt like she had practiced for ten years to kill the enemy with one move, but ended up hitting the air.
Next was Sloth. This knife was of abnormal size, and Chu Zihang and Caesar had failed at first. Lu Mingfei thought about it and did not challenge it. Instead, she chose the smaller and more suitable Taotie as a weapon between Taotie and Greed, stuffed Greed back into the box, and carried it on her back again.
It was easier for her to pull out Greed than Chu Zihang. There was no need for her to use laziness to prove that her bloodline was much stronger than Chu Zihang's. A soft and cute girl should lie in the arms of the male god and enjoy his care. Even if she met a bad guy, she could even split his skull with her strong hands. But when she came to him, it was difficult to open a bottle of Coke. She had to put the bottle in his hands and ask him to help open it.
The reason is very simple. Even Chu Zihang would not like a girl who is stronger than him. Boys have to have self-esteem. One day, you are the first to rush to protect the girl in danger, but you are beaten all over. The girl looks at you like a cute puppy, takes you aside and says, "Look at me, sister." She beats the enemy in no time. Would you like this super strong girl to eat her gigolo? Maybe when you are eating with peace of mind, the girl's evaluation of you has already fallen to the bottom.
Chu Zihang is definitely not such a gigolo, Caesar is even less likely, and there are not even a few such boys in the entire Kassel Academy. So Lu Mingfei felt that what Lu Mingze said when he handed her Tianguang was very reasonable, that we can be outstanding, but not too dazzling, in layman's terms, we can play the pig and eat the tiger, and those who are a little bit awesome and want to spread the word that I am the best in the world are usually villains, and will be pressed to the ground and rubbed madly by the protagonist.
