Volume 2 Hello, Xia Mi Chapter 164: Nibelung Hunt (Part 3)
"She actually knew to carry weapons!" Su Enxi chewed potato chips and stared at the computer screen, almost like a lazy otaku watching TV series.
On the surveillance footage with obvious noise, Lu Mingfei was carrying Taotie and putting on the backpack that was a bit too big for her.
Of course, there are no surveillance cameras in Nibelungen, but it is based on the real world architecture. In the area where the two worlds intersect, there will be some interweaving and integration between them.
For example, people who take the subway line 1 often hear some noise coming from electronic devices when they reach the Wangfujing section. Sometimes it sounds like someone is chewing something, and sometimes it sounds like a group of monsters crying. This is an urban legend that has been confirmed several times. The sound actually comes from Nibelung. Another example is that Lu Mingfei is not looking at her mobile phone in her bag now, otherwise she will find that the signal bar above the screen will be full for a few seconds and then disappear every once in a while. When there is a signal, you can actually contact people outside and send text messages or something.
This camera at the border of Nibelung is such a thing. It strayed in from the real world on a rainy night, but it can connect to the network of the real world. Because it is too old, it only has black and white images, but this does not prevent Su Enxi from using it to spy. The sight that Lu Mingfei has always felt is this broken camera that looks like an antique in her eyes.
"Because the games she played had a setting called sword drawing, where you had to draw your sword before you could attack. In that game, monsters would pop out from hidden places at any time and anywhere, and it would be too late to draw your sword when you saw the monsters rushing towards you. The game uses this method to limit the player's movement speed and create a sense of crisis." Jude Mai was also sitting aside watching.
Since Lu Mingfei arrived in the city, she has been under the surveillance of these two people. Any place with a camera will be used by Su Enxi to observe what her lovely little princess is doing. But this method is only limited to before Lu Mingfei enters Nibelungen. In the world of Nibelungen, Su Enxi only has this one camera that exists by accident, and she knows nothing about the deeper places.
"Oh, I thought she had grown because of her studies in Cassel this year. She looks no different from a year ago." Su Enxi said.
"No, she has indeed grown." Jude Mai could see some details of the figure through the computer screen. "She couldn't carry such a big thing before, but now she dares to carry the Seven Deadly Sins and hold the knife with one hand, which shows that she has the confidence to maintain her fighting power in this situation. Believe me, if you were asked to carry that thing, you would be out of breath like a dog before you could walk 500 meters."
"Damn it! Will you die if I don't insult me? I'm different from you guys! I'm a liberal arts student working in an office." Su Enxi glared.
"Little-known fact: I majored in music at Dongda University, which makes me a liberal arts student. Lu Mingfei majored in dragon history at Kassel College, which makes her a liberal arts student as well. You can't use this as an excuse for not exercising." Jiude Mai reached out and grabbed under Su Enxi's nightgown, revealing her plump thighs that were dazzlingly white.
"Okay, okay, I'll go to the gym for a while next time. You don't need to remind me all the time." Su Enxi had to admit defeat. She knew that Jude Mai's figure was comparable to that of a supermodel, but she had never paid attention to eating to maintain her figure. Because Jude Mai was a ninja, the amount of exercise she did far exceeded that of ordinary people, which was enough to maintain such a slender body.
She pulled out a transcript from the computer at hand and glanced through it: "But I saw that Lu Mingfei's transcript for the sword fighting class at Kassel Academy was only a B-."
"If she tries her best, she will probably be rated S, and a lot of professors will ask about her origins." Jiude Mai said calmly, "Don't forget that her teacher is Samson. When Norton was still entrenched in Baidi City, Samson was loaned to Gongsun Shu as a general, so that he could sweep Sichuan so quickly. In that era when ancient swordsmanship respected strength, Samson swept away countless famous generals of the founding of the Eastern Han death were unknown in history books were actually buried in her hands."
"On the one hand, we say that Lu Mingfei is our important treasure and we must protect her and let her live the life of a princess, but on the other hand, we put a dragon servant next to her. Aren't you afraid that the Tyrannosaurus will jump up and eat the princess one day? Samson ate Norton's dragon bones, and Norton also ate Constantine, which means that this guy is now equivalent to the complete bronze and fire king! If Samson rebels, the city will be buried with him."
"I don't believe in Samson either, but if the boss says it's okay, then it must be okay. When has the boss ever made a mistake? Samson has all the power of the King of Bronze and Fire. As long as she is willing to stay with Lu Mingfei temporarily for Norton's revival after a thousand years, she will be our safest dragon bone preserver. There is no need to worry about anyone trying to get involved, unless the thief wants to fight the complete version of the King of Bronze and Fire alone. When we need dragon bones, we can just find a chance to wipe out the defenseless Samson."
"To put it another way, it means that Lu Mingfei raised a Bronze and Fire King as a pet, right? How bold! If I had such a dangerous thing around me, I would probably faint the first time I saw her." Su Enxi pouted.
"That's purely because you're too timid. Even a mouse passing by your shoe will make you scream in soprano." Jiude Mai stretched lazily, revealing her perfect abs under her short T-shirt. These days, she and Su Enxi have been huddled here every day to watch the surveillance. During this time, she just makes a phone call to remotely control the overall situation. She is almost staying at home like a mushroom.
Lu Mingfei arrived at the platform. It was not bright here, and the incandescent lights above her head flickered. This subway station in Nibelungen had a flavor of the last century. The entire pillar was painted in a dark green color that was not aesthetically pleasing, reminding people of the camouflage uniforms that were everywhere decades ago. Only blue and green were left, and there were a few benches next to it.
A rumbling sound came from the deep tunnel , like an old steam train, and then dazzling lights shone out, and the train pulled into the station and stopped in front of Lu Mingfei. This train was also very old, with four big headlights on the square head of the train, and the body was painted white and green, with five big characters "Civility and Courtesy Train" written on it, and it was full of a sense of age. Lu Mingfei felt that if an artistic girl stood here, she would definitely take out her phone to take a few more photos so that she could show off when she went back.
The car door opened automatically, and it was pitch black inside. Not a single shadow could be seen. It felt like the hell train in a horror movie.
It seemed to be specially sent to pick up Lu Mingfei. The door was open for a long time. Lu Mingfei thought that the designer of the Nibelung was quite childish to come up with such a thing. But she just didn't plan to get on the car. The vehicles in horror stories were definitely not allowed to be taken. Although the tunnel ahead seemed normal, once you got on the car and the door closed, no one would be able to help you. The car would speed up to the sky, and when you fell off, you would go to hell, surrounded by the ghosts who died before you.
But this train was very stubborn, and it seemed like it would refuse to move unless Lu Mingfei got on it. Even if Lu Mingfei wanted to find another way, there was nothing she could do. Looking back, all she saw was green fog. Only the tunnel in front of the train looked like there was still some room for movement, but it was blocked by the parked train and she couldn't pass through.
Lu Mingfei got angry, and quickly stepped forward and kicked the car door: "Who wants to get in your car? Get out of here! You're blocking my way!"
She was very anxious and was eager to find her senior brother. At this moment, let alone a ghost car parked in front of her, if she had a pack of dynamite in her hand, she would dare to go up and blow it up, regardless of whether it was a toy made by the Dragon King who was too depressed in the Nibelung.
After receiving a kick from Lu Mingfei, the train suddenly began to ripple like stagnant water, slowly closing the door and driving into the dark tunnel. Lu Mingfei stood on the platform and looked far away to make sure that it had really left, then she crouched down and carefully jumped off the platform, following the direction of the train along the track.
At this moment, she heard a strange noise, like nails scratching on a blackboard. A long, sharp and piercing creaking sound echoed in the tunnel, getting closer and closer, faster and faster. Something hidden in the tunnel was quickly moving towards the only living creature after .
She took a few steps back and stood in the dim light on the platform, holding the Taotie tightly. Anyone who could make that kind of sound could not be a living person. No matter what kind of ghosts and monsters they were, as long as they appeared under the light for a moment, Aunt Lu's knife would teach him a lesson.
Sparks on the wall flashed in the darkness, and in just a breath of time it rushed into the light, leaping high, its tattered clothes clinging to its humped body under the huge high-speed wind pressure. It was a thing that looked like a human but not a human, with general facial features and a head, but was significantly taller than two and a half meters. Its head was as pale and slender as the ghost mask in Scream, and the places where the eyes and mouth should have been were replaced by pitch-black darkness. Its entire body was as dry as a skeleton, and its knuckles and soles were strangely bent like ghost claws.
But this did not affect the evil ghost's movements, but brought more powerful force. The moment the evil ghost emerged from the tunnel, Lu Mingfei took a defensive posture. It seemed that this action stimulated the evil ghost's fighting sense. It was supposed to attack like an eagle swooping down on its prey, but it changed its angle and rushed towards the dome. Its curved claws were deeply embedded in the ceiling to fix its body, and then it exploded and shot off in another direction, rushing quickly in a zigzag shape with an undetermined angle. The whole process only took a moment.
It was too fast. Lu Mingfei couldn't confirm the direction of his attack at all. But there was no doubt of his murderous intent. The opponent would definitely rush straight towards her, so she just needed to defend herself.
She turned around and spun, and the box on her back swung a little due to the inertia of her quick turn. Clear sparks exploded on her back, and the bone claws tore the backpack into pieces and chopped on the sword case of the Seven Deadly Sins. The thing used to hold those swords was naturally as hard as the swords themselves, and was made of alchemy.
This caused the evil ghost's attack to pause for a moment. Lu Mingfei kicked it right in the face. Before she could even feel the surprise in her heart, the pale face had already appeared in front of her. The evil ghost was not kicked away by her at all, and did not move at all! Although it did not kill Lu Mingfei with one claw, it grabbed the sword case and climbed up with its huge body using all four legs like a spider.
Such a big thing was almost held on the sword box and leaned over to look at Lu Mingfei, but Lu Mingfei did not feel much increase in weight on her back, which meant that this thing only looked very tall but was actually very light.
She pulled out the knife she carried with her, cut open the bag of her backpack, and threw the sword case out with all her might, but it was too heavy. Even though Lu Mingfei was no longer a delicate girl who could be easily pushed down, she couldn't throw that big metal box very far. She just wanted to create even a moment's opportunity to counterattack. It was too difficult to turn around and attack a thing lying on her back.
Even though she reacted quickly, this evil ghost-like thing still wrapped around her. Its bones were incredibly twisted and could twist like a snake. In an instant, it locked Lu Mingfei with its bones like a python, revealing her chest under her torn clothes. Its body was as rotten as rotten meat, but there was no smell at all.
It once again approached Lu Mingfei with that weird face, looking left and right, circling around, as if admiring such a wonderful prey. Lu Mingfei doubted whether it could eat her, or whether it just enjoyed attacking living things. At this distance, she could roughly see that there was nothing under the mask-like face, not even bones. In other words, the mask was its face.
The intense suffocation almost took away the little air left in her body. Lu Mingfei couldn't breathe. This strange thing looked light but was very powerful. The twisted pressure made Lu Mingfei's chest unable to even move up and down. Fortunately, her wrists could still move. She trembled and clamped the blade and released her fingers, letting the Taotie fall in the opposite direction. Her thighs, which were still able to move, suddenly lifted up and pressed against the handle of the knife.
Taotie was an Atkan kukri of astonishing length. Lu Mingfei used all her strength to give it great kinetic energy. Taotie suddenly pierced the monster's face from bottom to top. Because it had no vocal cords, it couldn't even make a cry of pain. The monster just twisted and slammed its head against the wall to the side, trying to get rid of the thing embedded in its head. This made Lu Mingfei's bones suddenly loosen up. She almost stumbled and pounced on the sword box with her hands and feet, opened the lid and pulled out the greed.
Lu Mingfei felt particularly at ease when she got the weapon. Holding the two-handed broadsword, she turned around and prepared to chop the damn monster into pieces of bones, but all she saw was the Taotie lying on the ground. The monster was gone, and there was no trace of its sound, breath, or that overwhelming attack like death.
This was by no means an escape, but a precursor to an attack. Most wild animals were like this, often disappearing before a fatal blow. Lu Mingfei looked around cautiously and slowly backed away. Not far behind her was the wall of the platform. Leaving her back to the wall would reduce the possibility of being attacked by surprise.
