"We store the most dangerous things here, and also place the core of the safe haven in the deepest part of the final sanctuary." Lu Lincheng and Lu Mingfei walked side by side above the matrix. They were surrounded by high concentrations of mercury vapor. Masks and gloves alone were far from enough. There should have been two more fully armed protective suits hanging in the elevator.
Lu Mingfei looked around quietly, feeling the dragon blood in his body being gradually suppressed and cooled down.
Of course, this place is not empty. Soldiers and staff in protective clothing stood under the scaffolding and watched the father and son from afar, apparently not wanting to disturb them.
They moved forward along the patterns etched on the bronze pavement. All the vines were branching out and branching out again towards the central load-bearing column, constantly branching out and converging.
Milky white mercury vapor sprays out from different nozzles, making the final sanctuary always have a high mercury content in the air. Dragons cannot survive here, and Deadpool will be immediately paralyzed if he breaks in.
Metal droplets were suspended in the air, and Lu Mingfei felt that his vision was affected. After they walked towards the center of the alchemical matrix for a few minutes, he realized that what he had just seen was not a load-bearing wall, but the bronze pillar that rose from the ground and reached the sky at the core of the safe haven complex.
"Dad, you said this thing is an alchemical relic you found in the Greenland Sea, but it's over 200 meters long and nearly 20 meters in diameter. It's like a solid 70-story metal building." Lu Mingfei's voice sounded muffled under his mouth. He said, "It's heavier than a mountain. How are you going to transport it from thousands of kilometers away to Siberia?"
"When it was discovered, it was not a whole piece, but fragments scattered in the organic matter deposited on the seabed. We set up a deep-sea diving base nearby and spent several years salvaging it day and night to completely salvage it. It took another few months to send it to Siberia," said Lu Lincheng.
The long river of mercury under their feet formed a perfect giant circular totem, with the bronze pillar in the center of the totem.
When he was on the ground, Lu Mingfei did not have many opportunities to get close to this thing, even though he passed by the lush spruce forest growing around the copper pillar several times.
Now when I see it in the final sanctuary, it actually seems familiar to me.
The surface of the copper pillar was not smooth. It was engraved with clouds and dragon beasts. In the gaps filled with totems, there were densely carved characters of the Dragon Age. Ordinary people would be shocked by the huge flow of information even if they looked up. Lu Mingfei felt dizzy, as if he was walking in a long river of time flowing against the current. There were tasseled curtains on both sides, and behind the curtains was a corner of a giant beast.
When Lu Mingfei finally approached the bronze pillar, he was stunned. The thing was not completely against the bronze ground. Instead, it was suspended in the air about ten meters above the bottom of the underground space.
Dozens of meters long black iron chains repeatedly wrap around the copper pillars and extend in all directions underground. Countless copper wind chimes are hung on the black iron chains. Driven by the circulation system, mercury vapor hits the wind chimes, producing ancient music that is inaudible to human ears.
Lu Mingfei remembered that this thing was exactly the same as the architectural totems that Caesar Chu Zihang saw when he was sailing in Takamagahara on the Trieste. Obviously, it also came from some ancient ruins.
A gust of wind blew over, and the mercury vapor spread out like a stream of water. After the mercury on the surface flowed away, the copper column actually glowed faintly, emitting a kind of red gold luster.
It had been placed in an environment with an abnormally high mercury content for many years, but there was no sign of rust on the surface. The chain suddenly vibrated, and violent elemental turbulence unfolded in this underground space.
Countless circular spots of light were cast simultaneously from the scaffolding in all directions. Those spots of light gathered into a point under the copper pillar. The strong light like the sun drove away the shadows in an instant, and Lu Mingfei's pupils shrank slightly.
Lu Mingfei saw a white cross standing in the pool of mercury that flowed through the alchemical matrix and gathered at the center of the array. The twisted dark golden spear pierced the human figure's chest and nailed the boy to it.
He had been immersed in mercury for so long that it had seeped completely into his skin, making him look completely gray, like a statue carved from limestone.
He lowered his head in the blazing light, his fingers also drooped, and his hair swayed in the wind like dead willow branches.
Lu Mingfei saw the dense cracks on the child's naked skin, like cracked porcelain. He gently tapped his chest. The huge pain seemed to tear him apart at this moment, but he couldn't cry no matter what, as if the pain first destroyed his tear glands and then his soul.
Many years ago, Lu Mingfei would have such a strange dream. In the dream, he would walk through a deep and silent corridor. At the end of the corridor was a messy church. The little devil was nailed to the cross of the church and pierced through the chest by a sword decorated with gold. When he broke in, the boy raised his head from the cross and smiled at the distraught Lu Mingfei and said, "Brother, you finally came to save me."
"It seems that you are old friends just as the committee expected. If there really is a parasitic dragon king in your body, then the immortal body of this dragon king should be suppressed 300 meters underground in the safe haven, soaked in thousands of tons of mercury, unable to be freed." Lu Lincheng said softly. He had been observing Lu Mingfei's expression.
Lu Mingfei smiled bleakly.
He and Lu Mingze are of course old friends. The dense cracks on the boy's body are the scars left by helping him block the lock from the Holy Spear of Destiny, Gungnir.
In another time and space, he always talked to Lu Mingfei about power and authority, but in this time and space, he seemed to always be telling Lu Mingfei that he should go faster and faster.
No wonder he said he was dying.
So he is actually like this... Is it painful?
"So our criminal investigation expert can easily draw the face of the person you imagined in your mind. This is not because of his superb skills, but because he is simply copying." Lu Lincheng said, "His skin was originally intact. Even if he suffered a serious injury, it would recover in just a few days. But about two years ago in November, one day the staff responsible for monitoring him suddenly reported to the committee that the Supreme seemed to be broken... When we hurried over, he was much weaker than he is now. His flesh and blood cracked and revealed bronze bones, but there was no blood flowing out. What was running through his veins was even some kind of mercury solution that we couldn't understand."
Lu Mingfei was trembling all over, and even just staying standing took almost all of his strength.
He covered his heart, and tears finally flowed out like a river bursting its dam. Golden-red light filled the eyes that were originally too calm for a child of this age. A river of fire seeped out from the slits between his eyes, illuminating the man's cheeks.
"It's not like that, it's not like that... No! No no!" Lu Mingfei roared softly.
Lu Lincheng was as calm as a sculpture. He looked up at the devil in the bright light with an expression of admiration on his face.
"We sacrificed many people to capture him on the Sino-Russian border. He started from Moscow, slipped into a train carrying coal, and then walked on foot after entering Siberia, walking along the railway, as if he wanted to walk to China." Lu Lincheng said, "Do you know why Black Swan Port must be destroyed? Because the authorities knew clearly what kind of monster was imprisoned there. Someone told Kassel Academy this news through secret channels. Something suspected to be the Dragon King escaped from the laboratory. Of course, the academy could not sit idly by. We dispatched all the elites, the gray list, the executive department, the secluded old people... The cruelty of that war is beyond your imagination. Relying only on a black spike, this child killed hundreds of our S-level and A-level elites. In the end, the secret party issued an order to clear the scene. They dropped weapons that could end everything..."
"A human who can use Rhine?" Lu Mingfei suddenly asked.
Lu Lincheng was stunned, not understanding where his son got the news from.
Lu Mingfei pressed his chest in grief, breathing heavily, and after a moment his heartbeat finally calmed down.
"Dad, I think there should be another crucial person in your story that you haven't mentioned. There should be a girl with this child, right?" he said softly.
Lu Lincheng frowned, pursed his lips, and said slowly after a moment: "With his cunning and strength, he could have escaped the explosion range before the Word Spirit of Rhine was released, but the person who released the Word Spirit captured his companion, and it was indeed a girl as you said."
After meeting with General Vatutin in Moscow, Lu Mingfei obtained relevant information about this piece of information from Zero.
The two people's statements can indeed support each other.
"He must have been lonely for many years, so he is unwilling to give up his last companion." Lu Lincheng sighed as he looked at the little devil's face.
"When Rhine was released, he held the girl in his arms and used his back to withstand the first wave of impact. I happened to be in front of him, so I was spared death. After that, the academy airdropped a weapon to me, which is the spear you see."
In fact, Lu Mingfei recognized it when he saw it for the first time. It was the Holy Spear of Destiny, Kungunir, but he didn't know whether it was genuine or a fake, because the Kungunir he had seen before were all made of wood branches.
"This thing is called Kungunir. I saw in the information that you have fought with Odin, so you should have seen something similar. It itself is a collection of the concept of death, so it can suppress the regeneration of that child. He is neither dead nor alive, just sleeping like this." Lu Lincheng said.
"He said he was my brother." Lu Mingfei said softly.
"We realized a long time ago that you looked a lot like him. If I hadn't done a paternity test, I would even doubt whether you were my biological child... Of course, now you look a lot like me." Lu Lincheng said.
"So the Nibelungen that protects this refuge was also built on his foundation, right?"
"In fact, we have been studying him for many years. We cannot understand his incredible power, but at the same time we cannot be sure that he is the Dragon King. But these studies are not without results. For example, with this copper pillar salvaged from the Greenland Sea, we can construct the Nibelungen you mentioned based on his subconscious." Lu Lincheng nodded and said,
"If nothing unexpected happens, the parasitic dragon king that Dr. Duden mentioned attached to you should be the child who escaped from Black Swan Port."
Perhaps the person in power behind this shelter wanted to give Lu Mingfei a terrifying feeling that his own soul was being eaten piece by piece by a devil, but when Lu Mingfei knew the truth, he only felt a tearing pain in his heart.
In every deal with the little devil, what was ultimately traded was not Lu Mingfei's own soul, but the soul of the child immersed in mercury who was being nailed to death in front of him at this moment.
"What is the committee going to do if I want to stay?"
"Don't worry, you're home, we're all here for you." Lu Lincheng patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder, and turned around to take Lu Mingfei away, as if he came here just to let his son see that the devil in his heart is not that scary.
"We will prepare a removal surgery for you and he will be gone from your life forever."
Lu Mingfei was stunned.
He realized that maybe that was what the man behind Haven wanted to do.
All these previous shocking remarks were used to pave the way for what he was going to do in the end, which was to separate Lu Mingze from Lu Mingfei's body.
"Okay." Lu Mingfei lowered his head and said in a low voice.
When he turned around, he heard a rustling sound behind him and the little devil's whispers rang in his ears.
He said, "Brother, you are here, I am so scared."
He said that I should bear all the sins and punishments.
He said, "Run away, brother."
Chapter 614 Hilbert Jean Angers
At the Shiraha Dog Shrine in Tokyo, on the day when the well was opened, all the remains of the ancestors of the Snake Eight Clan who were buried beneath the shrine were dug out and thrown into the red well to help the ancestors complete their own texture.
Hundreds and thousands of years of genes forged the opportunity for Susanoo to completely transform into the Yamata no Orochi. He was eventually killed by Lu Mingfei, who used the Seven Deadly Sins to chop off his long neck and pierce his heart, leaving his huge corpse without even the flesh and blood. When the war ended, Uesugi Yue led his men into the mountains of Tama River, only to see a scene like hell, with white silk threads all over the mountains and plains. The people from the academy, the family, and the fierce ghosts had already been slaughtered, and Susanoo's huge corpse fell to the bottom of the drainage well, with shallow mercury submerging its scales.
In short, after the end of that tragic war, the meaning of the Shiraha Dog Shrine to the family has changed. It was originally supposed to be a place to commemorate the bones of ancestors, but now those bones have long been turned into part of organic humus by the terrible digestive fluid of the Yamata no Orochi. After Uesugi Yue returned to Genji Heavy Industries and took power again, he completely transformed the shrine.
This building is now the second center of the Sheqi Eight Clans.
Half of the family heads continued to work at Genji Heavy Industries, while the other half were required to be stationed at the Shiraha Dog Shrine. The area below the shrine had been hollowed out, and Maruyama Construction Institute was carrying out construction to build a new research base and medical base.
Hilbert Jean Ange received the most complete medical care and treatment in Sheqibajia. A fully enclosed medical center was first built dozens of meters underground at the Shiraha Dog Shrine. Special care was given to Ange, who lay quietly in the medical cabin under the plexiglass cover.
Looking in through the observation window, the old guy looked like a dead and dried corpse, his muscles were severely atrophied, his skin was wrapped around his bones, and his face was haggard and pale.
His entire body was filled with various infusion tubes and monitoring electrodes. The body fluids and blood in the tubes circulated slowly, passing through an extracorporeal filtration pump and then returning to his body.
At the Nibelungen Lyonge on the Tama River, he and Chu Zihang faced Odin together to buy time for Lu Mingfei's deicide.
In that battle, both of them almost burned themselves to ashes. After Angerlong transformed into an incomplete form of Vidoflnir, the dragon beast Uzumaki he summoned was pierced through the heart by Chu Tianjiao, who was still controlled by Odin at the time, using a replica of Kungunir.
The headmaster, who had dominated the world of half-bloods for nearly a hundred years, was seriously injured and his heart was almost completely destroyed.
If Caesar and his elite men who were trained by Frost and were loyal to the young master had not arrived in time, even if the Sheqi Eight Clan had the best treatment conditions in the world, they would not be able to snatch him back from the hands of death.
"He was actually dead when we took over from Caesar Gattuso." The old man, who hung his black windbreaker on the high-back chair beside him, said expressionlessly.
After taking off his ramen chef's clothes and selling the car, Master Yue had to return to the family at the request of his sons.
When the emperor, who had disappeared from the dark side of Japanese society for decades, came back, the whole world was shocked. The demons quickly reorganized and returned to the control of the family, the North American hybrids withdrew their sphere of influence from Hokkaido and had to give up other areas and hide in Sapporo, and even the academy began to extend an olive branch to him, inviting this old man whose bloodline even crushed the S-level to become a member of the school board.
A guy who had to stick out his beer belly because his suit was too tight burped at an inopportune time, and the strong smell of alcohol quickly blended with the smell of disinfectant around him.
The night watchman pulled at the tie that was tied around his neck like a chain around an old dog, and wiped his greasy hands on Uesugi Yue's black windbreaker.
"I think he's in good shape," he said.
"His heart was completely cut open, all vital signs disappeared, and even corpse spots appeared on his body. If it weren't for the fact that we could still detect his brain waves, we would have cremated him on the spot." Uesugi Yue frowned and puffed on a cheap cigarette bought from a street stall.
"An hour after he was brought back, the corpse spots disappeared and his breathing resumed, although it was very weak. His muscles softened and he began to cough up blood. The medical team immediately performed emergency treatment and replaced his heart with extracorporeal circulation. But even so, he is not considered alive. He can only be called... the living dead."
"Even if he's a zombie, he's still the most handsome zombie in the world." The night watchman exclaimed, clinking his glass with the plexiglass cover, "Drink first, good buddy."
"I never thought this bastard would end up like this." Uesugi Yue and Ange don't get along well. It can also be said that the past few decades of wandering life were all caused by Ange.
But this guy helped him find his children and sent him a pretty good son-in-law... Although his son-in-law is now fleeing around the world, what else is there to pursue at this point in life? That's all.
"He has a student here, right? His name is Chu Tianjiao." The night watchman turned his head to look at the underworld emperor beside him, "Can you ask me a question? How many Yamato Nadeshiko have you slept with over the years?"
Shang Shanyue was a little confused. He stared at the old man beside him with his three-white eyes, which were similar to Lu Mingfei's. After a while, he said, "Do all the people who graduated from Kassel Academy have such jumping thoughts?"
"The behavioral logic of geniuses is completely different from that of you idiots."
"Ange can suppress me with Time Zero, can you also use Time Zero?" The old underworld emperor looked at the night watchman coldly, and golden sparks seemed to burst out of his turbid dark brown pupils.
"It's just a joke, old buddy. I thought we were close enough to wear the same underwear." The night watchman shrugged and patted Uesugi Yue's chest. "Don't you want to help Uesugi Eri and Lu Mingfei with the wanted order?"
Upon hearing his daughter's name, Uesugi Yue fell silent.
He did a lot of wrong things in his life and brought disasters to the world when he was young and strong. One day he finally woke up, but he could only rely on the ridiculous method of believing in religion and praying to God to redeem himself.
If he had not learned from Ange that he had three children, he might have fled to France on a private plane on the day the Tokyo incident broke out.
He had been lonely for so many years and even gave up on his life. Time seemed particularly sharp on him. When Ange found Uesugi Koshi in the alley behind the University of Tokyo, he even thought that he had come to the wrong place and found the wrong person.
Years of hardships and inner torture turned this once powerful underworld emperor into a real ramen chef, who kills his time watching AVs shot by some outdated actresses.
But when he first heard that his son and daughter were in the tallest titanium-black building in the center of the city, he still trembled all over, and even couldn't hold the phone in his hand that was originally used to call the private plane to take off.
