Chapter 498 I like the little goddess very much

He did not urge the silent Lu Mingfei, but slowly loosened the hand that was holding the boy's arm, and relaxed his whole body. The wind blew the ivory curtains up and down, and the sunlight shone on the old man's pale, dry skin, adding a warm blush.

"That girl is not your sister. You two don't look alike at all." After a moment, Father Su said softly, "After entering this room, although she was curious, she still focused most of her attention on you... You and Xiao Qiang want to team up to deceive me, right? Have pity on me, an old thing who is bedridden and unable to get up, sympathize with me, pity me, let me rest in peace and recuperate..."

"Three years is enough time to do a lot of things, uncle. Some things should be buried in the heart and cannot be spoken out. If they are spoken out, it will be an abyss of no return. I cannot bear such a consequence." Lu Mingfei lowered his eyelids and slowly peeled an orange. "I am not sympathizing with you or pitying you. Diseases that are difficult to cure for many people are actually not a big problem for people like us. Even if I can't handle it, there are other people who can. You don't need to rest and recuperate, because you will recover soon."

He stuffed the orange slices into his mouth and said incoherently, "I just want to say that, Uncle, you have always been a father figure in my eyes, and I don't want to deceive you... Su Xiaoqiang is really an excellent girl. It is difficult for me to deny your question. I really had my own reasons for rejecting her back then."

Old Man Su raised his eyes to look at Lu Mingfei's profile and sighed.

After Lu Mingfei finished eating an orange, he patted Yi Yijin and stood up, "I'll show you." He reached out and picked up the solid wood chair, holding the chair leg with one hand, and exerted force with his thumb, and the hard solid wood shattered.

Looking back, the pupils in the deep eye sockets were emitting a dark golden glow, like a candle held high by the devil in the night.

This was obviously a power beyond the scope of human beings. Old Su's lips trembled violently, "Tell me honestly, Lu Mingfei, are you a human or a ghost?" Old Man Su, who relied on his iron fist to fight his way out of the tough business wars in the 1980s, was not a firm materialist. Lu Mingfei even often saw him worshiping the God of Wealth in the guest room of his home. It was understandable that he mistakenly thought that the power displayed by Lu Mingfei was some kind of supernatural phenomenon.

Lu Mingfei sighed and said that there are no monsters or demons in this world. From a biological point of view, people like us are actually the hybrid product between humans and some reptiles called dragons. Oh, by the way, we call ourselves hybrids.

Old Su tremblingly stood up the pillow and placed it under his back, staring out the window with a frown in thought. He said, "You have to give me some time, you have to give me some time."

Seeing Uncle Su's doubtful look, Lu Mingfei felt helpless. There are many excellent wild hybrids in this world who actually knew nothing about their identities before entering Kassel Academy. Apart from the blood sorrow that made them feel that even their souls were cold, they seemed to be no different from ordinary people. So when the welcome teacher suddenly told these little guys that the descendants of the dragon really existed and were not just some kind of rhetorical adjective, most of these people's expressions were between shock and "Oh no, I'm in a mental hospital, let me out quickly."

"You mean you are like mutants, right? Then are you Wolverine or Laser Eyes among your group?" Old Su was silent for a moment. Perhaps he finally came to his senses and accepted the reality. He still frowned, but he finally asked the first question.

Lu Mingfei was stunned and scratched his head. “Almost the same. However, hybrids are different from the mutants in the movies after all. We are a real species. It is more logical from a physiological and biological point of view…” He has seen the movie Wolverine. That was a ruthless man who could not be killed. In the hybrid world, he was an ancient super hybrid with super S-level bloodline and possessed the Eight-Headed Word Spirit and the Bronze Throne. The attack of the laser eyes could easily penetrate the defense of the Dustless Land because it was an energy attack rather than a physical projectile.

"So the Cassel Academy you attended in Chicago is actually a school for mutants." Father Su said slowly, "There's also an old bald guy in your school who can hypnotize others?"

"There are indeed people who hypnotize others in the school, and there is indeed a bald guy, but they are not the same person." Lu Mingfei covered his face. Teacher Masashi Toyama's words are hypnotic, but they are far less powerful than Professor X in the movie. Professor Manstein, the head of the Discipline Committee, is a well-known bald guy in the college. With his not-so-reliable father who is a night watchman, he is also very powerful.

"The history of hybrids is almost as long as that of humans. We consider ourselves humans, but at the same time we are alienated from the crowd because of the Sorrow of Blood..." Now that Lu Mingfei has decided to use his own abilities, or with the help of Lord Wa to ask the local hybrids to help his uncle overcome the current difficulties, many secrets under the deep sea that should not be seen by ordinary people have to be brought to the surface. "The most important thing is that pure-blooded humans look almost the same as hybrids in appearance, but there are huge differences between us... Hybrids almost never die prematurely due to illness, and most of them can live to the age of 150. Of course, the premise is that they don't join some dangerous organizations to carry out dangerous missions assigned by the organization."

"What mission is considered dangerous?"

"I've said that hybrids are the offspring of dragons and humans. Those powerful creatures that only exist in myths are still secretly active in corners of the world today. Some of them are neutral and rational. They never interfere in political affairs, but use their unique abilities to make a lot of money. These dragons are active in various international charities and the Red Cross. They look no different from ordinary philanthropists. The hybrids in the United States are willing to trade with these dragons, and they can coexist peacefully. But this situation is only a special case. The vast majority of dragons cannot suppress their inner desires. That desire will expand endlessly until they finally crave for unparalleled power in the world." Lu Mingfei hesitated. "In the process of achieving this goal, they will set off various disasters. The meaning of the existence of Kassel Academy is to prevent such disasters from happening. We are at war with dragons, and this war is unequal. Even the most powerful hybrids find it difficult to compete with pure-blooded dragons, so we always have a huge casualty ratio."

Old Su listened to Lu Mingfei's words calmly. After a while, he said, "So you can live to 150 years old. No wonder you rejected Xiao Qiang before. With our human lifespan, she would have been at most or years old when she left you, and you might have been in your prime by then."

Lu Mingfei was a little sad. Since when did life span become a huge barrier between two people in love? But in fact, when he rejected Su Xiaoqiang in the cinema two years ago, besides not wanting to drag her into the dark world, didn't he really have similar concerns?

But he still patted Lao Su on the shoulder and said, "Uncle, you think too much. I did that because she would face dangers that you can't imagine if she was with me."

Lu Mingfei wasn't kidding when he said this. The number of people in this world who wanted to kill him could fill up a train. In order to hunt him down, the entire Kassel Academy almost returned to the era of the Secret Party and sent out those unscrupulous hunting teams.

Lao Su hesitated for a moment and said, "I used to think you were very gentle. Although you played basketball, you didn't beat people like Spider-Man."

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, Uncle, you have watched too many superhero movies, why are they all about mutants or Spider-Man?

"To be honest, it's quite difficult to pretend like this. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm just an ordinary high school student, so as not to accidentally unscrew the door lock." He said with a sigh.

It is actually very clear at this point. The reason why Lu Mingfei rejected Su Xiaoqiang in the first place was simply because of their different identities. But the reason why they are together now is because Lu Mingfei has to turn from the dark side of society to the side illuminated by light.

He might even have to seek help from the state, though he would be reluctant to do so until the very last minute.

"So you can cure my illness?" Lao Su said in a deep voice after a moment of silence.

"In theory, your current condition is cerebral thrombosis, and the lesion may be close to the area in the brain that controls movement. I have a method that can heal injuries in the human body. In theory, external bleeding and internal bleeding are the same. After I use that method, the cells will repair your body by themselves." Lu Mingfei nodded, "This is not my repayment to you, but just my kindness to you as a close junior."

When Lu Mingfei used the words "Don't Die" on himself, it was like Wolverine in the world. No matter how serious the injuries were, they could be repaired in an instant. When he used it on Nuo Nuo, he pulled the girl's body, which was almost burned to charcoal by flames, back from the edge of death and reset it to the best condition.

"But when I do this, it may leave some irreversible side effects on your body. Of course, I haven't seen what these side effects are so far." Lu Mingfei stared into Lao Su's eyes, "My friends may also have some means to cure cerebral thrombosis. You can also wait for a while."

After a moment, the haggard old man smiled and shook his head. He pointed to the small cabinet in the corner that was being brushed by the rising and falling ivory curtains, and asked Lu Mingfei to open the cabinet and take out the file bag inside.

After Lu Mingfei did as he was told, Lao Su asked him to tear open the file bag and pour out the contents on the small table next to him.

There were actually bank cards one after another in there, from various banks, and the passwords were on the back of the cards.

"I can see that the girl just now is actually your girlfriend, but I can also hear from our conversation that you are not without feelings for our Xiaoqiang. I am not interested in the affairs of you young people. Mingfei, you are a good child, so no matter what the final outcome is, it doesn't matter to me." Old Su cleared his throat, and Lu Mingfei quickly followed Su Xiaoqiang's example and found a spittoon from under the bed to help Old Su clear the phlegm stuck in his throat.

"These bank cards are all registered directly in my name. Each card has 3 million in unrestricted cash, which can be withdrawn at any time. At the bank counter, Xiaoqiang can get the cash directly as long as she shows proof that she is my daughter." Lao Su's tone was very gentle. He showed the kind smile that only old people have. He reached out and touched the top of Lu Mingfei's head. "There are seven cards in total, 20 million RMB. If you convert all of them into cash, it's enough for you to travel all over East Asia and Southeast Asia and find a place where no one knows to hide."

The wind outside the window suddenly became stronger. There were windows on both sides of the corridor at the entrance, so the sound of the wind became a little sharp.

Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked in another direction. His expressionless face was drooping as before, and his pupils, which had been serious for a long time, suddenly became soft like a child's.

"You got into some trouble abroad, but it doesn't matter. Troubles will eventually pass, and people have to look forward. You can't run away all your life. Where will you end up? Will you walk to your own tombstone?" Lao Su's voice was low and hoarse, but very gentle. He opened his arms, trembling and hugged Lu Mingfei with difficulty. "I was going to use this money for the end. If one day I am completely paralyzed and unable to move, I will hire someone to send me to those countries that support euthanasia, and I will embrace my end like this... But I can see my end, do you also want to see your end at a glance?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

Everyone he met told him that he had to keep running, running to the end of the world, until the day he was killed. Even he thought so. He just wanted to know who he was, and to save his sister from that desolate spiritual world, so that his tombstone would not be so monotonous.

But no one has ever told him like Lao Su did, that he can't keep running away, he is a good boy, he has to survive.

"Don't give up on yourself so easily for those illusory things. You live in this world to bring something important to many people, whether it's love or family affection. Think about your girlfriend, your parents abroad, and then think about Xiaoqiang, me, and your aunt Sofia. We will all be sad if you die, right?" Old Su sighed, pulled up the quilt to cover his chest, and shivered with cold. "As for my disease... To be honest, if it can be cured without side effects, then of course I would choose to let your friend do a small favor, and I am willing to pay the due reward."

Lu Mingfei looked down at the bank cards that were spread out and stacked like a fan. He smiled and tucked the quilt for Lao Su.

"Answer your question, uncle."

"I like the little goddess very much." Lu Mingfei said, scratching his hair, "but I am a fugitive who lives at any time and I don't want to implicate her."

“It can’t be said to be involved.” Old Su looked straight at Lu Mingfei. He hesitated for a moment.

"I only know those things after seeing you... Never mind, you will know them one day."

Chapter 499 The Little Goddess Has Scales

Su Xiaoqiang seemed a little excited when he came out of the sanatorium. Later, when Lu Mingfei and Old Man Su called the two girls who were walking in the corridor back to the ward, they had already adjusted their expressions and straightened their bodies.

Once some things are explained, the knot in your heart will be let go. Lu Mingfei said to the old man, "It's not that I disliked Su Xiaoqiang before, but uncle, you see, we are really not from the same world." While she was biting the pen and working at her desk all night long to write an SCI article, I was having a gun battle with the degenerate hybrids from Russia, Iraq and Mexico. Some bullets just grazed my ears and forehead. If they deviated by just a millimeter, they would take away an organ in my body or directly make a hole in my head. This kind of life is not suitable for Su Xiaoqiang.

The old man stuffed the bank cards into Lu Mingfei's arms and said, "I used to hold a grudge against you. At that time, Xiao Qiang brought you to our house to eat and drink for free all day long. Your aunt Sophia and I always thought that you were Xiao Qiang's adopted husband. But when it came to the last minute, the plan fell through. Seeing how haggard our girl looked, I really wanted to grab you by the collar and ask you what you were thinking."

Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed, thinking that this is the 21st century and the society is ruled by law, arranged marriages are not acceptable. Then he remembered something and said, "By the way, uncle, what were you hesitating to say just now? Did you want to tell me something?"

Old Man Su said, "That's right. In fact, I have always suspected that our girl is also a mixed-race." Lu Mingfei was stunned and felt that it was not impossible.

In fact, more than half of the people in this world may have dragon blood flowing in their bodies, but their genes are not expressed dominantly, so the characteristics of the dragon race have never been manifested in them, nor have they shown extraordinary wisdom and strength, and they are unable to naturally awaken the words that can be called supernatural miracles.

A beautiful girl like Su Xiaoqiang, who is prettier than a fairy and can even be ranked in the top tier in a place like Kassel Academy full of beautiful girls, may really have some dominant dragon genes in her body.

But Lu Mingfei asked in a serious voice, "Uncle, how did you make such a guess?" The old man trembled and took out a small box from under the pillow. Lu Mingfei recognized the box. It should be a gift box used to hold famous watches.

He opened the box and found something crystal clear inside.

It was a dragon scale.

Scales shed from the body of a pure-blooded dragon.

The moment he saw that thing, Lu Mingfei sat up straight abruptly. He lowered his eyelids and a golden ocean overflowed from the depths of his pupils. Then the knuckles of his right hand deformed, and thick claws broke out of his body to replace the slender fingers with distinct joints.

This action scared the old man, but after all, he was a tough guy who had experienced many ups and downs. Old Man Su calmed down immediately, but there was still a look of shock in his pupils.

"Can you turn into a dragon?" he asked.

"I can't do it. Evolving into a true pure-blooded dragon is a taboo in the world of hybrids. Countless people and organizations have conducted countless cruel experiments over thousands of years, but no one has ever succeeded. Even those that are closest to dragons eventually became monsters that lost their minds and only knew how to kill." Lu Mingfei shook his head and explained, "I can temporarily purify my bloodline and ensure that I will not degenerate. I am a special one among my kind. When I am fully transformed, I can be nearly three meters tall and have a pair of wings."

"Fuck you, you're three meters tall. In ancient times, you were even more powerful than Xiang Yu." Father Su was so shocked that he cursed. Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, Xiang Yu is a dragon king. If I really fought him, I would probably be torn in half."

He pressed the bulge on the scale with the tip of his sharp claws, and veins popped out on his arms and wrists, throbbing with the beating of his heart.

The scales and the box were originally placed together on the small table next to the bed. A moment later, with a crisp cracking sound, the entire table broke into pieces.

Lu Mingfei found a scale from the pile of wood chips and placed it in front of his eyes, examining it carefully. There was not a single scratch on it.

After transforming into a dragon, Lu Mingfei's sharp claws can even tear apart the defense of Dragon Deadpool with ease, and Dragon Deadpool is at least close to the third generation in the dragon clan.

This means that the scale most likely came from a noble prince.

But how could a second-generation scale appear in Old Man Su’s hands?

“Where did you find it?” Lu Mingfei put the dragon scale into his pocket. It would be a trouble for ordinary people if this kind of thing was lost in the open. Dragon scales, dragon horns, dragon bones and dragon blood, all relics related to pure-blooded dragons are the hardest currencies in the world of hybrids. Chinese hybrids are so powerful that even the secret party finds it difficult to infiltrate this country because they control nearly 70% of the dragon relics in the world.

But even so, a scale of the second-generation species is worth a lot of money on the black market.

Some things cannot be purchased with ordinary people's currency, you have to use these dragon relics to exchange with each other.

"In Xiaoqiang's room, I thought it was some kind of jade, so I kept it." The old man said quietly.

Lu Mingfei frowned and leaned back slightly.

Judging from the texture alone, this fingernail-sized scale is indeed very close to jade, crystal clear, with a slight red hue, like blood seeping into jade.

"I have been under surveillance by certain people since I was very young. Maybe this scale came from one of them." Lu Mingfei said slowly. This was just his guess. He tried to calm the old man down for the time being. "As far as I know, almost everyone who was close to me was under surveillance for a long time. This surveillance lasted until a year after I entered Kassel College... Our principal is a 130-year-old old man. He mentioned that the guy who often came to my uncle's house to read the water meter was from the college."

"Will those people pose no threat to us?"

"China is a society ruled by law. They dare not do anything to ordinary people." Lu Mingfei said, "Besides, you are not an ordinary person." Old Man Su's power in this city is astonishing. The group he founded is involved in the interests of many bigwigs.

Those who could survive in the mining industry in that era were all killers who had seen blood.

The power displayed by the orthodoxy in Xirang is incredible. According to the Lord Wa, all the mixed-bloods in the country should be under the control of Xirang, just like the rule of the Eight Clans of Sheqi over the Japanese underworld groups.

They have law enforcement agencies independent of ordinary people. Some leaders of law enforcement teams are even powerful hybrids of Beyond Grade A. For example, Cheng Shuangfan, who was transferred to the Kassel branch and recently rushed to Tokyo for support, has a vortex spirit. He was outstanding in the sniper battle above Tokyo Bay to block the group of corpse guards escaping from Takamagahara, showing that his bloodline is excellent, which may be comparable to Lancelot.

A large group of disciplined and strictly trained Transcendent A-grade hybrids joined forces, and the third generation could not cause any trouble in this country.

"This kind of thing may cause you some trouble, so I put it away for the time being." Lu Mingfei said, hesitating for a moment, "I am indeed being hunted now, but even those crazy people abroad dare not use weapons of mass destruction to cover me with firepower in our country, but I still hope to apologize to you, I am sorry for involving you in this matter."

"When a daughter grows up, she always hopes that her parents will leave her alone. I don't know about you and your enemies, but if you really have nowhere else to go, why don't you seek help from the country?"

"The state..." Lu Mingfei thought of the laboratory that Little Devil had rented in the suburbs of Hefei. That industrial park was a state-owned industry, and there were many dragon-related research institutions in it.

Maybe when it really comes to that, cooperating with the government is his best option?

——"You didn't have a fight with your dad, did you? I noticed you've been in a bad mood since you came out of the ward." The little angel put her hands behind her back and walked lightly beside Lu Mingfei, like a lark. The ends of her hair rose and fell, and the hem of her coat also rose and fell, revealing her slender calves.

"No, it's just that my uncle refused to let me treat him...I was wondering when I should let my friends come here." Lu Mingfei said with a smile.

"Does Sakura have many friends?" Eri blinked curiously.

Lu Mingfei laughed dryly: "We can't really call ourselves friends, we just use each other."

Queen Wa regards Odin as a thorn in her side. She asks Lu Mingfei to enter the Nibelungen on the elevated road alone and hold out for at least an hour under the violent siege of the Deadpools.

If this kind of mission was given to anyone else, there would be a certainty of death. Even if Lu Mingfei were to carry it out, it would be extremely dangerous and he might die in it.

From this perspective, Lord Wa, or the entire small society composed of local mixed-race people, all owe Lu Mingfei a favor.

Completely curing cerebral thrombosis is a very difficult task with the current medical level of mankind, but in the world of mixed-bloods where the scientific research level is generally at least ten years ahead of the top level of society, it may not be a big deal. This insignificant request is a piece of cake for Lord Wa.

"So what did you two talk about while staying in that sanatorium for a full half an hour?" Su Xiaoqiang jumped in front of Lu Mingfei and stopped him. The girl leaned forward slightly on the cobblestone path, her pretty eyes narrowed, and they looked at each other in the flickering light.
