"No need to beat around the bush, let's get straight to the point." Nuo Nuo shook her head, "Professor, you didn't keep me here just for a little extra tuition, did you? Is it because of Lu Mingfei?"
Guderian was horrified.
"Your acting skills aren't that bad, but of course they're not great either... It just so happens that my ability is profiling, and I can tell what you're trying to do through the subtle changes in your expression." Nuno blew a purple bubble, and her four-leaf clover earrings trembled.
"The vice-principal told me not to look down on anyone who is close to Lu Mingfei, but to be honest, I have never looked down on you... After all, I am one of the people who have a close relationship with him." Guderian fiddled with his sleeves, looking like a child who was too old.
There was a faint smell of muffins in the air. Apparently the old man had secretly had his afternoon tea while taking a walk after class.
Nuonuo let out a long breath, leaned forward, put both hands on the table, and supported her upper body. "What you want to say is definitely not just about Lu Mingfei, right? It's also about me?" She looked into Guderian's eyes.
"No wonder they call you a witch. You can't hide anything." Guderian said. He reached under the table and fumbled for a while. He actually found a white envelope with the red cross seal of the school medical department on it.
He opened the envelope and took out a medical examination form with the personal seal of the director of the school medical department. "You have already received your medical examination form, but I want to tell you that the form is actually a forgery. The vice-president commissioned the director of the school medical department to make it to deceive the board of directors." Guderian said.
"You are really being casual. If you fool the school board about this matter, you will get into big trouble if those guys find out. Of course, they dare not do anything to the vice president, but a newly hired tenured professor like you can be easily controlled."
"The worst that can happen is I'll be fired. Anyway, I still have the title of professor at Harvard University." Guderian became noticeably tougher when talking about Lu Mingfei.
"Why did you forge my check-up list? Is there something wrong with my bloodline?" Nono asked with a frown.
Guderian hesitated for a moment, then pushed the list across the table toward Nono: "Take a look for yourself."
Nuonuo changed to a more comfortable position and picked up the almost weightless paper from the table.
The girl's eyes swept from the top to the bottom. She was stunned at first, and then her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
She covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face silently. For the first time in many days, her cold little face showed such a huge emotional fluctuation.
But that was by no means a cry of pain or despair, but a feeling of being moved, just like a child who had never seen the sea stepping onto the beach for the first time and picking up shells one by one among the golden sand, or like a fledgling that had tried a thousand or ten thousand times to spread its wings in vain and finally could not fly against the strong wind, with the sound of the tide and the wind filling his ears.
The surging joy and the emotion that overflowed from the joy instantly broke down the solid barriers that Nono had built up against the academy for so many days.
In front of them was a test report.
The value of the first test item, "human chorionic gonadotropin [HCG]", was 59.85.
Nono had studied some female clinical physiology. In fact, almost everyone in the college had taken that course.
She knew exactly what this meant, and she didn't need Professor Guderian to remind her.
"Whether Ming Fei is a human or a dragon has not yet been discussed and determined, but I think no matter what angle you stand on, the school board will not let you and the child in your belly go." Guderian frowned, his face unusually serious, "I think this is also the reason why the head of the medical department chose to contact the Night Watch instead of the school board after receiving your test results."
Nuonuo wiped away her tears and clutched the test report tightly to her chest. Her eyes were red, she bit her lower lip tightly, and looked at Guderian stubbornly.
"Do many people know about this?" Her voice was still tearful.
"Just three." Guderian raised his right ring, index and middle fingers. He saw Nono's eyes and shuddered. "Don't think of killing people to silence them. I'll let it go, but the Night Watchman and the Minister of Medicine can't be touched."
"I'm leaving the college," Nono said. "I'm going to Oslo. The branch there is very small. I can avoid the surveillance of the board of directors by boarding any ocean liner."
"That's what the vice-president meant, but he wants you to go to West Africa, which is poor and backward, with underdeveloped information. All the surveillance methods that come with modern society are almost ineffective there," Professor Guderian said seriously.
Nuo Nuo shook his head: "Junior brother can't investigate the Far North right now. I can't be a burden to him. I'm going to help him do this."
"The Far North?" Guderian seemed to have heard a new term.
"You are so bad at lying, professor. There's an expression on your face that says 'Oh, it's the Far North, I knew it.'" Nono sniffed, and Guderian looked a little embarrassed.
"Mance asked me to investigate this thing, and there is also the Twilight Dogma. He doesn't want us to tell anyone else about this," he said.
"Anyway, I'm leaving in two days, so you have to get me a task assignment." Nuo Nuo pouted, still clutching the test report.
"I'll have to ask the vice-president for help... You know I'm just a mascot in the college..." Guderian was quite self-aware.
Chapter 476: Princess: I love you too
On the way back, Zero was in the driving seat. The Rolls-Royce Phantom rolled over the crackling ice on the cobblestone road in the park. In the narrow space, there was only the faint sound of the heating system and the low roar of the engine.
Lu Mingfei bit a cigarette but didn't light it, his eyebrows were almost twisted together, and his eyelids were drooped as if he was in deep thought.
The stone pavement was bumpy and Lu Mingfei's hair swayed with the shaking of the Rolls-Royce. The buildings on both sides of the main road were extremely eerie. One could tell at a glance that this was a place planned by the government for some state-owned enterprises to engage in production. The tall cast iron street lamps without any superfluous decorations looked extremely solemn.
"You look depressed. You allowed Jude Mai to survive, so you shouldn't have this expression." Zero looked straight ahead, his flawless little face pale.
The car seemed docile in her hands. She turned the steering wheel effortlessly while driving, and knew every button by heart.
This is because Zero's car in Moscow is also a Rolls-Royce, but it is silver instead of black.
"Using the fetal blood of a god to save humans who were contaminated by the poison in the god's body." Lu Mingfei came back to his senses, opened his eyes and smoothed his hair back. "I can't say I'm depressed, I'm just wondering what the hell I am."
"You are nothing, you are Lu Mingfei." Ling said.
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the girl beside him who didn't even look at him.
"You sound like you're cursing."
"No way, I haven't even learned any swear words in Slavic languages," said Ling.
"Actually, there's no need to think so much. Your birth certificate is still in the academy's archives. Anyone can take a look at it." Ling said.
"what?"
"It is politically correct to attack you in the academy now, but as the former president of the Dragon Blood Society, you still have many loyal followers, such as Qilan and Pierre. They put your birth certificate on the Night Watchman forum, as well as the photos and videos of you from childhood to adulthood. This way, there are fewer people who slander your bloodline." Ling stepped on the brakes and the car glided out of the park.
This place was originally in the suburbs, and most of the employees worked for the government. There were even few private cars, and most people were picked up by direct shuttle buses from the park, so the four-lane road seemed extremely wide.
"Where are we going now?" Zero asked.
After thinking for a while, Lu Mingfei said, "Let's go back to the hotel first. I'm worried about leaving Eri alone."
"Honestly, you and his brother are really alike. Sometimes I wonder what the relationship between you two is."
"What kind of relationship do you want us to have?" Lu Mingfei regretted asking this question immediately. The princess had already made it very clear at the ball in Sapporo, Hokkaido. There was no need to bring it up again. Even if this girl said "I love you" many times, Lu Mingfei could not make any promises to her at this time.
"Partner." Unexpectedly, Ling answered Lu Mingfei's question without hesitation, "I hope I can always be useful to you, so that you won't abandon me."
Lu Mingfei touched his brow bone. He didn’t know what Ling’s outlook on life and the world was made up of. Why did this girl always look so mature and steady, but occasionally blurt out such childish and sensational words?
"Then I also hope that I will always be useful to you, so that we can always be partners who can trust each other." Lu Mingfei smiled. He reached out to rub Ling's hair. Ling did not dodge. Her long hair was extremely soft, like the finest silk. When he touched it, it felt like he was rubbing the head of a kitten or a puppy.
"Since we can always trust each other, why don't you tell me what happened just now? You have been in a very low mood since you came out of there, and you even doubted who you are."
"So you were waiting for me here." Lu Mingfei squeezed himself into the soft leather seat of the passenger seat and took a deep breath.
Ling didn't look at him, just focused on driving. "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it." She said, "Everyone has their own little secrets."
"Actually, there's nothing bad to say. Remember the Blood Sorrow we often mentioned in the academy?"
"remember."
"You've seen The Godfather, right? Blood of Sorrow says that mixed-bloods are lonely, and mixing in human society is like the Sicilians in that movie mixing in New York." Lu Mingfei still held the cigarette in his mouth. "I just said a word to the dead fetus that Jiude Mai fished out of the sea, and it came back to life. This makes me feel like an alien, a monster even among mixed-bloods. You are Sicilians in New York, and I am a lobster or cat person hiding in that metropolis. I am even weirder than you. The word human may be a complete mistake when used to define me... Maybe I really am a dragon king or something?"
He noticed that when he mentioned that he brought the dead fetus back to life with just one sentence, Zero's fingers gripping the steering wheel trembled, and his originally casual sitting posture slowly became solemn, like a guard meticulously driving for his leader.
In that laboratory, Su Enxi had already used professional instruments and equipment to detect that Li Wuyue's eggs had regained the ability to differentiate. So Zero's surprise was entirely due to the process in which Lu Mingfei reactivated the embryos.
Lu Mingze once talked about how Li Wu Yue went to Siberia and turned into a black snake after being severely injured. The image of the black snake happened to appear in the illusion that Lu Mingfei encountered.
This may not be a coincidence, but some kind of deep meaning of fate.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with being the Dragon King. Isn't Xia Mi also a Dragon King? And so is your distant cousin Kang Aiguo." Ling said.
"I don't know why, but when I heard the three words 'Kang Aiguo' pronounced in a clear and melodious voice from you, a pure Russian, I suddenly felt like laughing." Lu Mingfei's face was full of black lines.
After Constantine was entrusted to Lu Mingfei by Norton, Angé used his connections to get him registered in the population system.
Nuonuo and Xia Mi have always called him Xiaokang, but Constantine's Chinese name is actually Kang Aiguo. In Lu Mingfei's opinion, this earthy name is comparable to Finkel's Chinese name, Zhang Facai.
As an aside, Brother Baigou sometimes asks others to call him Zhang Xingxing, and says that is his Chinese nickname.
"That's true, but I was born in New China and grew up under the red flag. I was a Young Pioneer in elementary school, a member of the Communist Youth League in junior high and high school, and I wanted to join the party when I took the college entrance examination. Unfortunately, my application for joining the party was written incorrectly and the manuscript was returned too many times, so I was too lazy to write it again... People like us have received firm proletarian education and super firm communist education since childhood. Although my aunt is a bit unhuman, she has always raised me as a human being. It's really hard for me to accept that she told me that I am actually a dragon." Lu Mingfei sighed, "It's like you have been a human for 20 years, and suddenly someone tells you that you are actually a dog that can stand up and talk. What do you think?"
"Come on, an Alaskan who can stand up and talk is super cool, okay?" Zero made a rare joke, "And you are not a dog among the crowd, but a Megatron hidden among ordinary people."
"Whether it's the super cool Alaska or Megatron, they are not human beings anyway." Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes.
"But I remember you once told me that your dream when you were studying at Shilan Middle School was to become a big shot." Ling said.
Lu Mingfei stared in a trance at the dream city of steel and concrete that they were speeding towards.
"But it doesn't matter to me who I become later." He said, "With my current assets, I can walk with my head held high even on the most luxurious roads in this country. There won't be any sand on the soles of my shoes on windy days. The Coke I drink is 35 yuan a can with a 15% service charge. I can also take any chick I pick up on the street to eat Moroccan food, Bavarian food, and French grilled lamb chops... Of course, I personally think those things are not as delicious as rice topped with gravy or braised chicken with rice, but no one in this city can deny that they taste cool. There was a time when everyone who talked to me had a great ambition to change the status quo of mixed-race society. There were also guys like the Japanese gangster emperor who sounded awesome. It seemed like I had become a super important person..."
"But so what? Even if I have enough assets to cover the entire Changjiang Road with French roast lamb chops, and even if the people I come into contact with are big shots like the President of the United States and federal congressmen, I am still fleeing around the world. When the back door that Norma left in the academy system is blocked one day, the killers from the executive department will drop from the sky and point a Scorpion submachine gun at my head. I hope you stay away from me at that time, and it's best to pull Eri away a little, so that my brains won't splatter all over you."
"Hey, you're so disgusting." Ling made a look of disgust on his face, cooperating with Lu Mingfei's performance.
"Anyway, I'm no longer interested in becoming a big shot or something that can change the world. I just want to return to this city that belongs to me, and all the weird things in this world don't bother me anymore. Maybe I'll open an Internet cafe or newsstand at the end of a small alley on Changjiang Road, and if you come to surf the Internet, I'll give you a free computer." Lu Mingfei shrugged.
But Ling didn't say anything. The car continued to drive forward, and when we were about to enter the city, there were farmhouses on both sides of the road. They were the kind of farmhouses that the villagers who used to farm or raise fish nearby turned their fish ponds into fishing ponds after they stopped doing their old business.
It has a strong rural flavor.
"When I was attending an auction in Chicago, a real estate developer told me that China's real estate industry will continue to grow rapidly for at least another ten years. He also told me that if I had the chance, I should quickly buy some land in a big city so that I could live off my savings for the rest of my life." Lu Mingfei felt that the air in the car was a little quiet, so he tried to find a topic to talk about. "I think he's just bragging. Right now, the average monthly salary of a clerk in our Hefei factory is only three thousand, while the housing prices in the city have already risen to nearly four thousand per square meter. How much higher can it go? I might as well invest my spare money in wafer factories and cinemas."
"In fact, even if you come to Moscow and do nothing, I can support you for ten lifetimes."
"Does this count as being kept by someone? Rich sister, I love you." Lu Mingfei acted shyly, but they all knew that Ling was not joking.
If she could support Lu Mingfei for ten lifetimes, she would be willing to do so.
"I love you, too." Ling said in a calm tone, and the warm air from the heating system ruffled the ends of her hair like flowing water.
"There are many people in this world who love you besides me. You don't have to be sad about who you are," she said.
Lu Mingfei felt that there was a very hard place in his heart that made a slight sound like a glacier breaking.
"But since you can use your own words to give life back to the black snake, why can't you use the same method to resurrect Xia Mi?" Ling asked.
“Because there is no one.”
"You've got a lot of girlfriends, right? I heard from Eri that she's your third girlfriend..." Zero said this with a blank expression on his face, but his tone was clearly sour.
Lu Mingfei's brewing emotions collapsed, and he scratched his hair. "I mean there is no one to use the Word Spirit on." He said, "When Herzog sank the Lenin into the abyss, he destroyed the Black Snake's vitality through special means. I guess someone has already taken away the keel cross of this egg, which is the spiritual element representing authority, so the embryo's cells cannot differentiate into other tissues and structures. My Word Spirit does not revive the dead, but allows things that have half a foot in hell to escape from hell... In a sense, when I used this Word Spirit, I re-endowed the Black Snake with spiritual elements. Although he lost his power, he retained his own power, a bit like Constantine now."
"When Xia Mi transferred her rights to me, her body was also destroyed. I can't tell a pile of ashes not to die. Even if we can find the flying dust, there won't be a girl walking out of the dust."
"Creating life is God's prerogative," Zero said.
Lu Mingfei thought to himself, this is why I feel like a monster.
"That's really great. You are indeed a miraculous hero, a genius one in ten thousand or even one in a hundred thousand." Ling said, his tone still calm, but his words reminded Lu Mingfei of a slightly bald old guy.
Professor Guderian, the number one Lu Chui at Kassel Academy.
The phone vibrated, and Lu Mingfei took it out and took a look.
