Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 242 Girl's Flower Arrangement (I)
For the Snake Eight Family, last Saturday was probably the worst day ever. The family lost hundreds of elite members, and its company engaged in offshore mining lost six floating platforms, thousands of heavy firepower weapons and water police ships. The losses in just one day amounted to billions of yen.
These are not the most important things. The future heir of the Eight Snake Families, the head of the Minamoto family, Minamoto Chisho, disappeared in the Longyuan Plan and his whereabouts are currently unknown.
The final videotape of the Ryugen Project was being broadcasted on the big screen in the main hall. It was recorded by the helicopter that was originally used to pick up Minamoto Chisei. Minamoto Chisei's direct subordinates Yabuki Sakura, Crow, and Yasha were kneeling in front of the main hall, watching it with Tachibana Masamune.
This is probably the only real battle video of Lu Mingfei. With a pale golden lightsaber in her right hand and Yuan Zhisheng's Spider Cut in her left hand, the comparison between her and the dragon-shaped corpse guard is like a gnat trying to shake a tree, but the dragon-shaped corpse guard was defeated again and again in front of her. This girl seemed to be familiar with the weaknesses of the dragon race. She climbed onto the back of the dragon-shaped corpse guard, pierced the nerves in the head with the Spider Cut, pierced the back with floating light, and ran wildly to tear the corpse guard's flesh apart. Black blood gushed out half a meter high behind her. The violence of the means was shocking. The corpse guard roared to the sky. The rotten vocal cords made it unable to make any sound, but everyone could see how much damage the attack caused to it.
"She seems to know the corpse guard's weaknesses very well." Tachibana Masamune said. Although the dragon-shaped corpse guard is huge in size, its movements are not slow. It just has the heaviness of a giant. After being severely hit on the head by Lu Mingfei, the corpse guard's movements became significantly inaccurate, and it failed to accurately catch Lu Mingfei several times.
"We were also very shocked when we witnessed this scene." Ying said, "If we look at it from a biological point of view, Lu Mingfei's attack is undoubtedly aimed at the nervous system of the corpse guard, but so far humans have never obtained a complete dragon skeleton. Who can know the nerve composition of the dragon?"
"Is this probably the reason why Angers regard her as his trump card? It is said that people who master the Word Mirror Pupil can master precision instruments at the level of aerospace equipment just by looking at the blueprints once. Maybe Lu Mingfei's Word Mirror allows her to grasp the weaknesses of the dragon race." Tachibana Masamune speculated.
"There is no record of Lu Mingfei's Word Spirit in Cassel's intelligence."
Spiders cut through the continuous rain, and Lu Mingfei was forcibly pulled down from the dragon-shaped corpse guard by the siege of the corpse guards. Her situation was very difficult. On the one hand, there was Yuan Zhisheng on the small boat, and on the other hand, there was the Trieste whose life or death was unknown. If the corpse guards showed any possibility of moving in either direction, she would have to interrupt the attack and give priority to protecting one of them. If the corpse guards had a strategy in their minds, they would have only needed to divide their forces to wear Lu Mingfei out.
The end of the video is the dragon-shaped corpse guard's desperate fight. This behemoth weighing thousands of tons leaps up like a dragon, trying to use its body to press Lu Mingfei into the sea. Lu Mingfei has no chance of avoiding it. The corpse guard entering the sea stirs up huge waves tens of meters high and rushes straight towards the helicopter that Sakura is riding. If Crow hadn't reacted quickly enough, they might have been knocked down directly by the huge waves, and the picture is interrupted.
The hall fell into a terrifying silence, because everyone could clearly see Yuan Zhisheng's last scene. Not only did the dragon-shaped corpse press down on Lu Mingfei, but the boat Yuan Zhisheng was lying on was also caught in the crossfire. Imagine how powerful it would be if thousands of tons of something fell from a high altitude? It was hard to say whether Yuan Zhisheng was still alive.
"The family sent out a salvage team of thousands of people to clean up the battlefield to ensure that no corpse would fall into the hands of the media." Yabuki Sakura whispered, "Most of the remains were successfully recovered, and the incomplete ones were traced through DNA as much as possible. We did not find any remains or DNA that could be suspected to be the young master."
"Where are the people in Cassel?" asked Masamune Tachibana.
"The wreckage of the Trieste is just an empty shell. The corpse guards even tore the operating table into pieces. Some bloodstains were found inside, but we can't confirm whether they belonged to Caesar or Chu Zihang."
"Everyone's life or death is unknown..." Tachibana Masamune closed his eyes and sighed. Although he had considered the worst outcome before the implementation of the Ryūen Plan, he did not expect it to end like this. Eri has been missing for two weeks, and Minamoto Chisei's whereabouts are also unknown. This made him feel sad that the old man was sending the young away. Was the fate of his family really going to go to the abyss because of his determination?
"The search is still ongoing. We have added an underwater team, and we also have personnel on the surrounding islands and ships." Yasha came out to give Tachibana Masamune some confidence. "If they are still alive, there is a possibility that they have already landed. Tokyo Bay and the Self-Defense Forces will always have the first-hand information."
Tachibana Masamune did not answer, he just waved his hand to indicate that he was tired. The three had no choice but to get up and leave. They all knew very well how much pressure Tachibana Masamune was under at the moment as the head of the family. There were already many people who voted against the war before the war. A plan to destroy the God's Burial Place even killed the future heir of the family. Those who were ready to make a move were secretly making trouble, and the guys below were also criticizing them. These days, everyone seemed to be living in some kind of shadow, and everyone looked like an insider of the Demon Clan.
Lu Mingfei felt like she was lying on the waves. The sunlight was like a pair of soft hands caressing her body. It was warm and comfortable, and most importantly, it was just right, making her feel like she was in the clouds. It was comparable to a master who had studied massage for many years.
Where is this? New Zealand? The Great Barrier Reef? Or heaven? She suspected that she was dead, because she could remember the desperate struggle of the dragon corpse guard before his consciousness was cut off. She carried out systematic destruction of the nerve center of the dragon corpse guard according to Xia Mi's instructions, but she didn't know whether the wound was not deep enough or there was a difference between the corpse guard and the living dragons. The big guy did not stop the action immediately. Instead, after realizing that he was doomed, he exchanged his life with Lu Mingfei.
In short, the last scene in her memory was that she was thrown into the sea more than ten meters below the surface. Everything happened so fast that she had no time to breathe. She was stuck in the cavity formed by the ribs of the dragon-shaped corpse's chest. If she wanted to escape, she had to continue swimming downwards, but the oxygen in her lungs obviously did not allow her to do so.
So this is heaven? I have played a lot of games and read a lot of comics in my life. When I mention heaven, I always think of the descriptions of villains. Nowadays, it is popular to reverse the recognized things and describe the church or the government of heaven as the bad side. This makes Lu Mingfei's mind full of those strange creatures in Bayonetta when she thinks of heaven. Although they all have a part of human, they are definitely not things that can make people think of holiness or beauty.
The gentle hands continued to rub her back, and her nose was filled with the fragrance of lavender and seaweed. Large flakes of foam bloomed on her back and flowed into the water beneath her body. To be honest, she had never felt so comfortable even when she had a spa. She was so comfortable that she subconsciously wanted to scream... but that would be too erotic.
She quietly opened her eyes a little and observed her surroundings. This was one of her unique skills. She could pretend to be asleep and keep a clear vision. Although it was a little small, it was definitely enough to see clearly.
The person massaging her seemed to notice that she had woken up and came closer to look at her. Before Lu Mingfei could see clearly who it was, she wondered how this guy's senses could be so sharp. She quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep to see what happened.
The person who was watching Lu Mingfei found that Lu Mingfei didn't open her eyes, so he simply took out a shower head, and the water temperature directly changed from warm and pleasant bath water to ice-cold fire hydrant, and pointed it at the back of Lu Mingfei's neck, causing a bulge.
"Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy! I'm awake! Actually, I'm awake! I wasn't pretending to be asleep!" The cold water suddenly hit Lu Mingfei, and she was like a grasshopper about to drown. She danced and struggled to escape, but the other party was obviously here with malicious punishment, and the water flow became even fiercer. Lu Mingfei turned her head and wanted to apologize to him directly, but the shower head was pressed directly on her face with maximum firepower.
Lu Mingfei couldn't see who it was at all. Since being polite was useless, she had no choice but to fight. She reached out and grabbed the person's shoulder, then pushed her hard into the water below. The sound of choking immediately showed that it was a girl, and it sounded a little familiar.
"Is this how you treat your savior? Huh?" Xiyue broke free from Lu Mingfei in the water and stood up. Her wet hair hung messily on her shoulders. She was naked, not wearing anything. She put her hands on her waist and looked down at him with a questioning tone.
“Why is it you…” Lu Mingfei was confused. “Is it because the way I woke up was wrong? Now I’ll lie down and wake up again!”
"How many times have you woken up and seen me, or would you prefer that the person giving you a massage be your boyfriend named Chu?" Xiyue sat back in the water with a playful smile and charming eyes.
"No, you've got the wrong idea." Lu Mingfei opened her eyes and sat up from the water. "Aren't we enemies? Although we had a brief transaction, our relationship should have returned to square one after that, instead of being so frank with each other!"
It was indeed a relationship of honesty and frankness. Xiyue was not wearing anything, and Lu Mingfei was also not wearing anything. This was not a scenic tropical beach, but a low-key yet luxurious bathroom. The four walls were covered with waterproof and moisture-proof wooden boards. She and Xiyue were sitting in the same large wooden barrel. On the shelves beside them were various essential oils, shower gels, body lotions, etc., as well as some unknown pastes that were suspected to be mixed with drugs, with a transparent grass green color.
"I am a very principled person. Since I said I would protect you, I will do it to the end." Xiyue leaned on the wooden barrel, crossed her legs, and pointed at Lu Mingfei with her toes, "I mean what I say."
"You mean, you saved me?" Lu Mingfei was surprised.
"Under the circumstances at that time, I was the only one who could save you." Xiyue said, "The dragon-shaped corpse sent you into the sea with its desperate attack. You lost a lot of blood, and the aura of your bloodline attracted all the deadpools around you to swim towards you. Although Caesar tried very hard to rescue you, he couldn't deal with the deadpools underwater and take you with him at the same time. So, apart from me, who else could have the ability to save you?"
"You speak with such a righteous tone as if you are the protagonist..."
"If you're talking about beauty, then of course I have the advantage." Xiyue pointed at her face proudly. This was not self-praise. Lu Mingfei was only cute, but her cuteness also contained a kind of pure sexiness, which Lu Mingfei could not learn.
Lu Mingfei stared at Xiyue for a few seconds. She had to admit defeat, but she still wanted to give it another try, so she looked along her neck to other places... This turned from losing just one hand to losing everything. In terms of figure, she was still short of Nuonuo compared to Xiyue. She was actually a model of beauty, breasts and legs. She had everything covered and could compete for Miss World at any time.
"Have a good rest. Remember to use all those things. Be careful not to leave scars." Xiyue pointed at the various ointments on the shelf. "You were covered in wounds when you were fished out, but fortunately you have a good self-healing ability. Even if you don't need to go to the hospital, you can handle it as long as you can rest. I asked Caesar to buy these things to help you maintain your appearance, so you don't have to worry about being disfigured and not being able to wear suspenders or something."
"You, a dragon, also know how to take care of your skin?" Lu Mingfei was stunned. She had some guesses about Xiyue's identity, after all, there was Jörmungandr's example.
"Good looks are bought with money. Natural beauty is the result of time and patience. How many people in the world are born with stunning beauties? You've read too many novels." Xiyue stretched out her hand with her back facing Lu Mingfei. Her fingers were slender and long, with blurred joints, enough to apply for a hand model. "Do you need me to tell you the brand I use?"
“Forget it… I have my own teacher in this area, and yours may not be suitable for me.” Lu Mingfei felt defeated and spoke weakly, “To be honest, I still feel that it’s a little unrealistic.”
"Just think of this as a continuation of the deal." Xiyue said, "My condition was not very good at that time. Saving you was actually risky, but this risk was worth taking, because if I saved Chu Zihang and saved you in front of Caesar, Caesar would have no reason to give up on me, right?"
"It sounds like you are very familiar with Caesar, but you have never met him. It was just me and Chu Zihang at the opera house at that time."
"But I have read your information." Xiyue smiled mysteriously, "Do you want to hear a story?"
"We have the benches, but without the melon seeds and drinks, it won't be tasty!" As the saying goes, if an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. Since the other party is interested, Lu Mingfei will not refuse anyone and will follow Xiyue's pace.
"You have really high requirements." Although she said that, Xiyue actually pulled out a bottle of Longyin Black Brew like a magic trick. This is a very popular brand of local Japanese sake. It makes both mass-market and high-end models, and you can find it on the bar counter of any bar.
