Lu Mingfei stared at Lu Mingze.
"You glare at me but I can't do anything. Besides, Kassel Academy is looking for you everywhere. Maybe your former classmates are all sharpening their knives to take your head and claim the reward. What are you still thinking about them now? If it were me, I can't wait for Li Wuyue to use the world-destroying words to bomb Chicago. Before that, the hill where the academy is located has been completely flattened by the US Department of Defense using medium-range ballistic missiles."
"That's you, not me, and I don't have the ability to get involved with the Ministry of National Defense." Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes.
The little devil crossed his arms and said, "Brother, if you really want to bomb Kassel College with missiles, you don't have to do it yourself. Just tell me and I'll call the Ministry of National Defense right away."
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, do you really have to fight for this slot?"
"I see that you have a lot of complaints, and I really don't want to offend you." Lu Mingze said.
After the quarrel, both of them fell silent at the same time. "Is it true that if we don't wake up Li Wu Yue, there is no way to solve the problem Sister Mai is facing now?" Lu Mingfei asked after a moment.
The little devil nodded.
"She is too poisoned. We need Li Wuyue's fetal blood to save her." He said, "If you have any other ideas, I can't come to you for help."
"The most capable assistant you mentioned just now, are you referring to Sister Mai or that dragon?" Lu Mingfei asked again.
Unexpectedly, such a simple question made Lu Mingze silent.
He sighed. "I don't want to lie to you," he said.
"I understand." Lu Mingfei nodded. "I can help you revive Li Wuyue, but it won't be without cost. I want you to help me kill Odin."
"The deal is done." Lu Mingze nodded, "This is fair." Lu Mingze smiled. The next second he was blown away by the wind like ashes, the fog in the cold storage resumed flowing, and the coffee table with the bone china cup collapsed and disappeared like ashes.
Ling and Su Enxi, who had just stood beside Lu Mingfei like sculptures, became vivid again. The black bayonet in the princess's hand was still pointing in the direction where Lu Mingze had just stood.
"You actually carry a weapon with you." Lu Mingfei looked at Ling in shock.
The little girl looked around coldly, but she didn't put away the bayonet in her hand. She glanced at Lu Mingfei and asked, "What is it?"
What she asked was why Lu Mingfei's behavior just now was so strange and so sudden. She thought that there must be some enemy who appeared in this narrow space, and the enemy was still lurking in the surrounding fog.
Lu Mingfei sighed: "You really can't see it?"
"What did you see? Don't scare me, little white rabbit. How can I see a ghost in broad daylight?" Su Enxi said tremblingly, "Namo Amitabha, the Supreme Infinite Heavenly Venerable, may Allah bless Avada Kedavra, Amen."
Ling and Lu Mingfei were both stunned.
"You actually believe in religion." Zero said.
"You're still watching Harry Potter." Lu Mingfei said.
"The point is not whether the movies I usually watch are Harry Potter or Spiderman, but your reaction just now was fucking weird, you know?" Su Enxi yelled in a low voice.
Lu Mingfei sighed: "Your boss just came here."
Ling opened her beautiful eyes wide, and the bayonet turned over in her hand like a nimble butterfly, disappearing as soon as her hand turned.
Su Enxi showed an expression of "I see" on her face and patted her chest gently.
"You guys are pretending to be so serious, as if you were relieved when you heard me say that the person who just appeared here is your boss." Lu Mingfei smiled. He didn't continue speaking. He just came to the quartz glass that completely covered Jiude Mai and looked inside through the transparent substance.
"Sister Mai brought back a dragon egg from the Abyss, right? Bring it to me. Only that thing can save her." He said softly.
Another metal airtight door at the end of the cold storage opened silently, and a silver cart walked out of the fog playing a strange melody, then stopped quietly in front of Lu Mingfei.
The black box lay quietly on it.
Su Enxi's expression changed. She took out three masks from her arms, put one on herself, and then handed one to Lu Mingfei and Ling each.
"The boss said that its soul is dead, and only the devil-like body is alive. In order to restrain the devil, he filled this box with mercury vapor." Su Enxi said, "Given your bloodline, this little mercury vapor should not be a big deal to you, but it is highly poisonous after all."
Lu Mingfei nodded, put on the mask, looked at Ling, and then opened the box.
White low-temperature steam and mercury vapor rolled out together. The box was filled with liquid nitrogen at minus 200 degrees Celsius, and a thermos-like transparent object was submerged in the liquid nitrogen.
Heartbeats as intensive as drumbeats sounded from beside Ling and Su Enxi. The moment Lu Mingfei saw that thing, he activated his second blood burst, and at the same time the dragon bone state covered his entire body.
Just a manic and out-of-control embryo brought him such an incomparable sense of oppression. It was hard to imagine what this thing would look like after it really hatched.
The claws covered with iron-blue scales reached into the thick mist of liquid nitrogen, and the scales on the surface of the claws opened and closed one by one with a crisp roar.
Then Lu Mingfei took out the entire container immersed in liquid nitrogen.
He used his fingertips to wipe away the white frost on the surface of the container, and what appeared before him were the dense blood vessels covering the entire inner wall of the container.
It is alive, and every blood vessel is beating regularly to a certain melody.
"We've tried everything, but nothing can make it hatch back into a complete embryo," Su Enxi said. "It's like a tumor that has been separated from its host. It will only grow bigger and bigger without differentiating into other cell tissues... Its body is full of the ancient dragon serum that the long legs took in. It's highly toxic and effective, but we can't find any other way to use it."
"You actually want to use a god?" Lu Mingfei raised his eyes and glanced at Su Enxi.
"What god? In front of the iron fist of materialism, he can only stay in the night nitrogen obediently." Su Enxi snorted.
Lu Mingfei cast a strange look at Ling, and Ling noticed the look this man gave him.
"The boss didn't tell us what it is," she said, "but I guess it's the dragon corpse that Herzog took away from Siberia."
"This is a first-generation species." Lu Mingfei said, throwing the container back into the liquid nitrogen. "It was this guy who killed the first generation of the Lionheart Society with Menek Cassel as the core. Only the golden holy juice he re-hatched can save Sister Mai..."
"But there is no way he can hatch again." said Su Enxi.
"That's why your boss had to ask me to come here." Lu Mingfei knocked on the quartz glass. "Okay girls, give me some private space, okay? Let me give this thing some motivation so that it can live again."
Chapter 475: The Witch and Her Little Kid
"… In view of this, although there is no clear record, we can infer that Xerxes I, who initiated the Persian War, was one of the dragons hidden among humans in history books, and Leodaris I, who blocked Xerxes I at Thermopylae on August 480, 8 BC, was the most outstanding super hybrid in the Kingdom of Sparta." Susie, who had a high ponytail, answered Professor Guderian's question and closed the dragon genealogy textbook in her hand.
"Great, really great! You can find the direction closest to the truth from the clues in history. As a reward, I will exempt you from detention today!" Professor Guderian was in a good mood, and his eyes, which were already a little blurry due to his age, were shining with excitement under the lenses.
Susie's long eyebrows curved. "Thank you, Professor," she said.
After she sat down, Professor Guderian began to assign today's detention homework, while Susie quietly turned her head to peek at the girl next to her who was bathed in sunlight.
This large lecture hall was rebuilt after the previous classroom was destroyed by the shockwave of the Sword of Scourge that fell on the suburbs of Chicago. Next to it is a huge terrace with a five-meter-long frosted glass above it. Standing on it, one can overlook the entire valley campus. Wind chimes tied above the terrace sway and make tinkling sounds.
The fallen red maple leaves swirled and fell on the frosted glass. The mottled sunlight slanted on the outer side of the classroom. Nono sat in that beam of sunlight, and her whole body felt warm.
She was quiet and absent-minded, not disturbing anyone but no one could ignore her. The two silver four-leaf clover earrings swayed slightly in the breeze like wind chimes, emitting brilliant golden light.
A distant bell sounded from the center of the campus. Nuonuo tidied up the strands of hair that were blown to her face by the wind. The girl yawned lazily, and her long hair was as long as red seaweed.
"Do you have classes later?" Nuonuo packed his books slowly and tilted his head to glance at Susie.
Susie shook her head. "No more." She said, "Tomorrow there is the last internal review. After passing it, there will be no problem. I have to prepare."
Those who have a good relationship with Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi have to undergo school review, regardless of whether they have been to Tokyo or what their background is.
There were only two people in the academy who were recognized as Lu Mingfei's best friends. One was Chu Zihang, and the other was the super repeater, Finger. Logically, these two guys should have received the most stringent scrutiny, but Chu Zihang was seriously injured in the Tokyo incident and has not recovered yet, and is still in Japan for rehabilitation training; while Finger didn't need to be scrutinized at all. The academy didn't even have time to conduct an inductive interrogation on him. They just took him into a small room, and this guy spilled out everything he knew, which was a perfect interpretation of the eight words "no bottom line and no moral integrity".
The interrogator from the executive department who was transferred from another place to Kassel College certainly wanted to torture Nono to extract a confession, but the Elders Council had put pressure on the college, and with the guarantee of the Chen family and their allies, the interrogation she received was not as harsh as imagined, especially after retesting her bloodline. The board of directors almost lost interest in Nono.
Su Si was completely implicated by Chu Zihang, but she didn't think there was any problem.
"Then let's go back to the dormitory together. I have something to think about... Ugh, cough, cough..." Nuo Nuo dry heaved halfway through his words, and then started coughing violently.
"Hey, hey, are you okay, girl? I told you to drink less but you wouldn't listen." Susie frowned, reached out and picked up Nuo Nuo's backpack and threw it on her back.
After returning to Kassel College from Tokyo, Nono behaved extremely silent and calm, except that he would get drunk every night and go to class as usual the next day.
"I'm fine." The red-haired witch looked up expressionlessly and picked up the bag again. "As a mixed-blood, you should understand the physical fitness of people like us. Alcohol can't hurt us. It's just a tool to numb our emotions."
Susie sighed. She knew that for mixed-bloods, a lethal dose of alcohol would at most cause them to black out, but the pain of a hangover was unavoidable.
"...Students, remember to hand in your homework in the next class. Those who haven't handed it in will be responsible for helping Professor Mans tidy up the library." Professor Guderian smiled and said to every student leaving the classroom.
Since he was seriously injured in the Kuimen operation, Professor Mans resigned from his job in the executive department and took charge of logistics, mainly guarding the library where many important materials were kept.
However, part of his body has been replaced with a prosthetic limb, so he inevitably has some difficulties in performing detailed work, so he often needs professors to organize students to help him organize materials.
"What did Chu Zihang tell you yesterday?" Nuonuo and Susie were the last to walk out. Susie sighed, "The Executive Department has given him a new mission. As the price of accepting the Nibelungen Plan, he must assist the Executive Department in hunting down Lu Mingfei... It should be within the next two months."
Because of the impact of his defection, a large part of Lu Mingfei's contributions to the academy were offset, including his great achievements in Kuimen, Sanxia, killing the second generation, cooperating with Ange at Six Flags, and Caesar killing Norton. These have become entries and hyperlinks that only exist in historical materials.
All the rewards that the college had given out were taken back one by one as a revenge by the Board of Directors against the Elders Council for defending Nono.
The reason why Caesar accepted the Nibelungen Plan was that he had used a bullet made from the Philosopher's Stone to pierce Norton's heart at Six Flags. Chu Zihang was chosen entirely because of Lu Mingfei's contribution in the Dragon Slaying Operation.
Although the junior brother's achievements have not been completely erased from the history of dragon slaying, the academy has already drawn a clear line between itself and him. As a result, the Nibelungen Plan that Chu Zihang once accepted has become less legal.
It is understandable that the executive department used this as a threat to assign him the task.
However, both Nuonuo and Susie understood that although Chu Zihang had accepted the mission, he would never go all out to hunt down Lu Mingfei as the executive department hoped. On the contrary, he would be a great help to Lu Mingfei in his escape.
But doesn’t the school board know about this?
So what is their purpose in doing this?
Both of them seemed a little worried, but fortunately, after the news of Lu Mingfei's betrayal reached back to the academy, those who once had a close relationship with Lu Mingfei temporarily became the jinx that the students avoided, so no one came up to talk to them, and everyone was busy leaving the classroom in a hurry.
Professor Guderian cleared his throat as he passed the door.
Susie gave him a strange look, but they had no intention of stopping.
"Ahem!" Professor Guderian cleared his throat again.
"Professor, I heard that there was phlegm stuck in your throat when you coughed. It feels like bronchitis. It's better to go to the school clinic for an X-ray or something." The girls finally stopped and Susie reminded carefully.
"Student Chen Motong has been a little absent-minded in class recently. Don't leave yet. Let us go to the office and give you some special lessons." Professor Guderian pushed his glasses and the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched.
Nuonuo was stunned for a moment and exchanged glances with Susie.
"I'll wait for you outside?" Susie asked
"Okay." Nuonuo handed the bag to Susie and thought for a moment, "I suddenly want to drink plum juice. Please help me go to the convenience store."
Professor Guderian, with his belly sticking out, led Nono into his office next to the lecture hall. The moment the solid wooden door was closed behind them, the old man suddenly looked shifty. He first trotted to the window to draw the curtains, then poked his head out through the gap between the curtains to look outside.
Nuo Nuo was chewing bubble gum, narrowing her eyes, and sitting down on the sofa opposite the desk.
On the other side, a beam of light emitted from the watch had scanned the entire office. When it scanned the left corner, it actually made a beeping sound. Professor Guderian moved a stool and stood on it, took down a monitoring device hidden in the corner and threw it into the trash can.
"You're just taking that thing off like that, aren't you afraid that the school board will suspect you?" Nuonuo asked.
"What's the big deal? We tenured professors all signed a confidentiality agreement when we joined the company. In the agreement, the college promised not to conduct any form of surveillance or eavesdropping in our private space." Guderian placed his briefcase against the table and sat down opposite Nono.
He had been hired as a tenured professor at the college at the end of last year, so he was able to get an office of his own next to this popular classroom.
"Tea or coffee?" Guderian asked.
"I guess you don't." Nono shrugged, and Guderian showed an embarrassed expression on his face.
He did not have the habit of preparing tea or coffee in the office. One reason was that his good friend Manstein's office was only separated from here by a wall. The other reason was that Professor Gu was not used to drinking those so-called healthy drinks. Coke and orange juice were his favorites.
