Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Chapter 354: The Corpse of the King of Sky and Wind
Chu Zihang slowly opened his eyes, and all he saw was pure white, everything was blurry.

He did not believe in God, and naturally did not believe in heaven, but the face that came closer was pure and flawless, with a layer of warm light, like an angel bending down to kiss the forehead of a sinner.

He was a little dazed for a moment, and tried to move closer to see the face clearly. He smelled the warm and moist scent of the angel, like the fragrance of plant leaves after rain.

"Brother, are you acting like a hooligan just after you woke up?" Just when he was about to put his whole face forward, the other party said slowly.

"Xia Mi?" Chu Zihang's vision gradually became clear. He was lying in an intensive care unit with cold white walls, cold white lights and ceiling.

Belatedly, my five senses returned to my body. There was no scent of an angel girl, only the faint smell of disinfectant in the hospital.

However, it is not correct to say that there are no angels at all. The one in front of him can indeed be said to be an angel in another sense - an angel in white.

"Xia Mi? Are you a nurse?" Chu Zihang looked at the schoolmate in nurse uniform in confusion.

Not a cosplay nurse, but a real nurse in the hospital, wearing a short white coat, holding a black board and case reports in her hands, and a white hat with two horizontal stripes - and she's a head nurse!
"Brother, are you awake?" Lu Mingfei pushed the door and walked into the ward.

Chu Zihang was stunned again.

Lu Mingfei was wearing a white doctor's coat and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Under the unbuttoned white coat was a light grey shirt and a black tie.

For a moment, Chu Zihang wondered whether he was awake or asleep.

"Brother, you don't feel uncomfortable anywhere, do you?" Lu Mingfei pointed to the IV stand next to Chu Zihang and said, "You lost a lot of energy due to the blood loss. I gave you an intravenous drip of hypertonic glucose to restore your blood sugar."

“Blood burst…” Chu Zihang sat up suddenly, pounced on Lu Mingfei with a tiger leap, and grabbed the clothes on his chest, “What just happened was not a dream! Where is my dad!”

The sudden outburst drained Chu Zihang's already limited physical strength. After grabbing Lu Mingfei's clothes, his legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.

"Uncle is in another ward," Lu Mingfei quickly supported Chu Zihang, "Brother, calm down first. I have checked Uncle, and he is not in danger of death."

"Hurry, take me to see him..." Chu Zihang still grabbed Lu Mingfei's clothes and said anxiously.

"You have to wait a moment." Lu Mingfei said.

"What are you waiting for!" Chu Zihang didn't seem to be as calm and composed as usual.

Lu Mingfei weakly pointed at the back of Chu Zihang's hand and said, "Let me remove your IV needle first."

Chu Zihang looked down at the back of his hand, where there was an infusion needle. Due to his intense exercise and strong grip just now, the needle was severely deformed in his body and the tip of the needle had pierced the skin.

Chu Zihang:......

……

In the intensive care unit not far from Chu Zihang's ward.

A burly but pale man was lying on the bed, wearing a hospital gown with his sleeves rolled up to his arms, and infusion needles were inserted into the meridians on the back of his hands and elbows.

"Dad? Dad?" With the support of Xia Mi, Chu Zihang sat on a chair next to Chu Tianjiao's bed and called softly.

But no matter how Chu Zihang called, Chu Tianjiao did not respond.

"How is my father?" Chu Zihang turned to look at Lu Mingfei and asked.

"Brother, do you remember what happened when you fought with Odin?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Chu Zihang frowned and thought: "Odin, I remember I broke his mask, but behind the mask was my father..."

"Yes," Lu Mingfei took out the fragment of Odin's mask, "This mask is a very high-level alchemical item. It can almost give the wearer an alchemical bloodline close to that of the first generation of human beings, and can control the person wearing it."

"Virtual bloodline?" Chu Zihang was puzzled.

"I created this term for easy explanation. Brother, you can understand it as if you receive this bonus, you can temporarily possess a bloodline equivalent to the same level," Lu Mingfei said, "But this bonus comes at a price. Once the battle begins, it will quickly consume the mental strength of the mask wearer."

"So that's why my father is in a coma?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Yes, Uncle's physical exhaustion is not that serious, but his mental exhaustion is huge," Lu Mingfei said, "It will take at least two months for him to wake up."

"Will he not wake up?" Chu Zihang asked worriedly. The issue involving his father suddenly made this usually strong man like a knife anxious.

"No." Lu Mingfei said.

In fact, considering Chu Tianjiao's mental depletion, it was normal for him not to wake up. When Lu Mingfei examined him, his mental strength was almost exhausted. To use a word from fairy tale novels to describe it, it should be "soul-smashed", but Lu Mingfei used the power of the Mind Gem and the power of faith stored in the Silver Oak Sword to restore him.

The power of faith is essentially a highly sublimated spiritual power. It can be said to be a professional match for making up for the loss of spiritual power. And because the power of faith has been repeatedly purified by the mind gem, it basically has no side effects.

If I have to say something, it is that when Chu Tianjiao looks at Lu Mingfei in the future, he might feel a bit more familiar with him.

Chu Zihang didn't know this, but when he heard that his father was fine and would wake up sooner or later, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and spared some attention to other things besides his father, such as...

"This hospital is so quiet," Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi, wondering, "Also, why are you wearing doctor and nurse uniforms?"

"Oh... this is because..."

Before Lu Mingfei could finish, Su Xiaoqiang, who was still wearing the same clothes, pushed the door open and came in, carrying a few insulated lunch boxes. "Come on, everyone, it's time to eat. I found some in the hospital cafeteria."

Chu Zihang looked at Su Xiaoqiang, the only person present wearing normal clothes, then looked at Lu Mingfei in a doctor's uniform, Xia Mi in a nurse's uniform, and himself and his father in hospital gowns. He was confused again: "What on earth is going on?"

"Ahem," Lu Mingfei said, "To put it simply, Brother, we are still in Nibelungen and have not left."

Chu Zihang: ???

……

A few minutes later, in Chu Zihang's ward.

Lu Mingfei, Su Xiaoqiang and Xia Mi all gathered around the bed, and Chu Zihang lay back on the bed.

"You mean, this Nibelungen is as big as a city, and it is a mirror of our city?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Yes," Lu Mingfei nodded. "After you and your uncle fell unconscious, we checked the situation and found that the range of Nibelungen is our city, but there is no one in the city. The subway and buses will run automatically."

"After Uncle Chu's Odin mask was broken, the length of the viaduct seemed to return to normal," Su Xiaoqiang said, "Lu Mingfei carried Uncle Chu on his back, and Xia Mi carried you, brother, as they walked out of the viaduct. They found two empty cars and drove you to the hospital."

"And I happen to know a little bit about medicine." Lu Mingfei pointed at himself.

"Xia Mi, will you carry me down the overpass?" Chu Zihang was a little surprised.

"Yes, what do you think, junior sister? I am loyal enough, right?" Xia Mi patted her chest and made a loud sound.

“Junior sister, you’re such a good brother!” Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up.

"Get lost!" Xia Mi showed her vicious side.

"Then what are your clothes..." Chu Zihang was puzzled.

"Our clothes are wet, so we can only find some clean clothes to change into in the hospital." Lu Mingfei said confidently, "We are in Nibelungen anyway, so it's not stealing or robbery."

"Then why did Su Xiaoqiang..." Chu Zihang was even more confused.

Su Xiaoqiang showed an embarrassed expression - when the Porsche was destroyed by the masked Chu Tianjiao, the four of them jumped out of the car. She used telekinesis in time to create a layer of transparent protective shield for herself, so she was not wetted by a drop of rain, but she forgot about the others. By the time she reacted, several seconds had passed and the others were already soaked in the heavy rain. It seemed unnecessary to shield them from the rain.

"Haven't you found a way to leave Nibelungen?" Seeing that Su Xiaoqiang didn't answer, Chu Zihang was not interested in asking further and instead asked more practical questions.

"Yes, we can actually leave right now," Lu Mingfei said, "The problem is, it's hard for us to take care of Uncle outside. The academy doesn't have much influence in the country. If we take Uncle to a normal hospital, because of the sequelae of Odin's mask, he has many symptoms that don't conform to medical common sense. What if the doctor treats him as a patient with a rare disease and wants to hold a medical seminar to study Uncle, that would be troublesome."

Chu Zihang nodded and realized that for his father's current condition, instead of trusting an ordinary doctor, it would be better to trust Lu Mingfei, a professional mixed-race researcher. Although Lu Mingfei is not a doctor, he is undoubtedly more professional in this regard.

"I have used some tricks to pass the news to the outside world and sent it to the college. The principal said that he would personally bring the college's medical team here," Lu Mingfei said, "It won't be too late for us to leave after the principal and the college's medical team arrive."

"Besides, there must be many secrets in this Nibelungen. After we leave, we may never be able to enter again." Lu Mingfei added.

"You can't come in again?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Brother, you have great confidence in me," Lu Mingfei said, "In fact, it is possible. The Seven Deadly Sins are the ultimate product of alchemy. They can be used to drill through the walls of the Nibelung... But after we leave, what if the owner of the Nibelung, the real Odin, destroys it from the inside?"

The way the seven deadly sins entered Nibelungen was like facing a castle, not going through the main gate, but directly using a targeted blast to blow a hole in the wall - but what if the castle had been turned into ruins by a bigger explosion? Not to mention the question of whether to enter or not, even if they did, the useful things would probably have been destroyed long ago.

"Won't it be destroyed if we are inside?" Chu Zihang was puzzled.

"It will be destroyed, but the destruction of Nibelungen must be done from the inside, even the creator of Nibelungen is no exception," Lu Mingfei spread his hands, "So if Odin destroys Nibelungen in here, there will definitely be a big commotion, and I can just follow the clues and kill him. But if Odin is not in Nibelungen, or he is just hiding and doesn't make any big moves, then I can't find him."

Xia Mi, who was standing aside, curled the corners of her mouth at an angle where no one could see.

Damn it, this guy must be related to the White King, or he is the White King! I just saw him inject new spiritual power into a half-blood whose spiritual power was exhausted. And the tone of killing Odin, even Norton is not so crazy...

"Well, the little goddess and I will go to Nibelungen to find out what useful things are hidden there," Lu Mingfei said, "Xia Mi, you stay and take care of my brother and uncle, how about that?"

"No," Chu Zihang shook his head without waiting for Xia Mi to answer, "I don't need care, and I can take good care of my father. You two can go and investigate the situation together."

"Brother, are you sure there's nothing wrong with your body?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"It's just that my strength hasn't recovered yet, there's no other problem," Chu Zihang said, "I can take good care of dad."

"Senior Brother..." Xia Mi looked at Chu Zihang with some concern.

Chu Zihang looked into Xia Mi's eyes and gave a barely noticeable smile: "Don't worry."

……

The next day, it was still raining heavily outside the hotel.

A black Maybach is driving on the road.

"Why doesn't the rain stop raining?" Su Xiaoqiang complained to Lu Mingfei who was driving while sitting in the passenger seat.

"Nibelungen is not the real world after all, so it's inevitable that there will be some bugs in its operation, such as the weather not changing..." Xia Mi sat in the back seat, crossed her legs, and said casually.

Her temperament and tone have changed drastically. She is no longer the lively and lovely junior sister, but more like a noble queen with a youthful face.

"Junior sister, are you really the Dragon King?" Su Xiaoqiang turned his head and looked at Xia Mi with a look that was between seeing a rare animal and a rare plant.

"Human! Be polite! You are facing a king!" Xia Mi shouted angrily.

"Be polite! She is your senior!" Lu Mingfei turned around and scolded Xia Mi.

Xia Mi puffed up her cheeks and turned her head to the side.

When Chu Zihang was unconscious, Lu Mingfei simply told Su Xiaoqiang Xia Mi's identity.

In fact, he had no intention of hiding it from the little goddess, as she knew the identities of Old Tang and Norton.

After learning that Xia Mi was also a hidden Dragon King, Su Xiaoqiang behaved quite calmly, perhaps because she was familiar with the situation, which even made Xia Mi suspect that she was actually a dragon in disguise.

"Junior sister?" Su Xiaoqiang spoke again.

"Call me Jörmungandr!" said Xia Mi.

"Well, Jörmungandr, why would you cooperate with a hybrid?" Su Xiaoqiang asked curiously.

"Heh...half-blood..." Xia Mi sneered.

A mixed-blood! She didn’t believe Lu Mingfei was a mixed-blood! She didn’t believe there were any real mixed-bloods here!
"Will the dragon fall in love with a hybrid?" Su Xiaoqiang became even more curious and asked again.

"I've said it before, I'm just using Chu Zihang. The great Dragon King will not fall in love with a lowly species. At most, he will just admire him, the kind of appreciation he gives his subordinates. Do you understand?!" Xia Mi immediately retorted in rapid succession.

Su Xiaoqiang said: "But I didn't mention Senior Brother Chu."

Xia Mi:......

"Let's not talk about my dream brother for now," Lu Mingfei said, "Xia Mi, the building in front is the place you said is wrong."

"Yes," Xia Mi nodded, "Odin's Nibelungen is indeed huge, but now that I'm here, he can't hide it from me, the Dragon King! We feel that this is the real center of his Nibelungen, and there must be something hidden inside!"

"But this is the city library." Lu Mingfei curled his lips.

In front of the Maybach, the church-like building has "City Library" written in golden letters.

"Is this what the city library looks like? Why does it look like a church?" Su Xiaoqiang asked.

"I don't know. I've never been here." Lu Mingfei shook his head.

"Ha! This is the evidence!" Xia Mi said immediately, "This library is different from the real library outside because it has been specially transformed by Odin. There must be important things in it!"

Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang looked at each other and saw the suspicion in each other's eyes.

“You’ll know when you go in and take a look.” Lu Mingfei shrugged.

Lu Mingfei and the other two walked out of the Maybach. It was as if a transparent umbrella was opened around the Maybach. The rain flowed and gathered under the umbrella, but it couldn't wet the three people.

Walking into the library, Lu Mingfei looked around: "Uh... now I am sure that the library outside will definitely not look like this."

The interior of the library is much larger than it appears. It is like a palace that has been magnified countless times. Even a football stadium that can host the World Cup would seem cramped and small compared to the main hall of this palace.

Any half-breed who sees this palace will realize one fact - this is a palace built for a dragon.

At the end of this magnificent hall, there stands a small throne.

Strictly speaking, the throne was not small, it was just the size that an ordinary person could sit on. However, compared with the palace built by the giant dragon, the existence of this pocket-sized throne was as abrupt as a ten-dollar stool in the auditorium of a five-star hotel. Even the candlesticks burning silently in two rows in the palace were much taller than the throne.

But the throne is still the undoubted center of the entire hall, because there is a skeleton sitting on it.

A non-human skeleton that looks like an alien, with thousands of bones all over its body and a texture like lapis lazuli.

It sat upright on the throne, with its arms clasped across its chest and its bony wings spread out like a cross.

The three men walked up to the dragon bones on the throne and examined them carefully without any reverence.

"Is that... a dragon bone cross?" Su Xiaoqiang asked uncertainly.

Lu Mingfei looked at Xia Mi and said, "Student Jörmungandr, it's time for you to go on stage and give a speech."

"This is indeed a dragon bone cross, the dragon bone cross of the king of sky and wind, but it cannot be considered a dragon bone cross." Xia Mi stared at the dragon bone in a daze.

"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"The Dragon Bone Cross is the name of the remains that contain the power of the Dragon King," Xia Mi's voice was a little hoarse, "but this Dragon Bone Cross of the King of Sky and Wind has been devoured. It still retains its original appearance, but the power and spirit in it have disappeared. Now it is just an ordinary dragon bone."

"Rather than saying this is the Dragon Bone Cross of the King of Sky and Wind, it's better to say that this is the...corpse of the King of Sky and Wind." Xia Mi said softly in a slightly hoarse voice.

"I see..." Lu Mingfei stroked his chin, "Junior sister, let's put the dragon bone aside for now, I have another question. Have you ever thought that the 'Odin' we met is Uncle Chu wearing an alchemical mask, but although this mask is precious, no one has said that there is only one, right?"

"Yes." Xia Mi nodded.

"So, theoretically, there is more than one 'Odin', right? There are as many fake Odins as there are masks, right?"

"What do you want to say? Have you found the second mask?" Xia Mi said impatiently, "Also, don't always call me Junior Sister. This is just a half-blood identity I disguised as. Call me Dragon King Jörmungandr!"

Lu Mingfei pointed behind them: "To be precise, I found the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th masks."

Xia Mi turned around stiffly.

Behind them, thick fog had filled the hall at some point.

Five identical figures walked out of the fog, all riding eight-legged Pegasus, wearing dark golden armor, draped over blue cloaks, and holding twisted spears upside down.

“Five… fake Odins…” Xia Mi silently retreated behind Lu Mingfei, “Brother, I leave it to you.”
