Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

Chapter 345 336. Long Yuan (2) Old Friend

"I'm going out for a walk. You stay here and keep an eye on the construction progress." Lu Mingfei put on a peaked cap and pulled down the brim, holding an unlit cigarette. Chaozheng and Masahiko Sakurai stood under a huge black umbrella. Kristina waved while chatting, and Kristina made an OK gesture.

So he put on a coat provided by the institute.

This clothes is somewhat similar to the military coats that uncles working in factories in the family compound of the last century loved to wear. Although it is not so fashionable, the thermal insulation effect is really first-class, even in the forest where the mountain wind is roaring. It won't lose temperature either.

Originally, President Lu could be regarded as a beast with a human face and a beast heart. When he was taken out for a walk, he was a man who could be called the flower of Kassel College along with the likes of Caesar and Chu Zihang. But now he has a temperament that he has only developed after years of wearing a military coat. He immediately collapsed a lot, and the disguise technique turned him into a square-faced man with an unattractive appearance. He looked very much like those old farmers in northern Shaanxi who like to hang out in the village entrances and alleys.

It was so close to Hongjing that Lu Mingfei could see the part of the magnificent underground building protruding from the surface just by looking up.

He felt that he should really go in and take a look. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he felt panicked, as if there was a thorn in his heart.

Snowflakes piled up on his shoulders and head. The guy lowered his head and lit the cigarette, took a deep breath and then rushed into the blizzard.
-
Chu Zihang silently tapped his chest. He could feel his heart still beating powerfully in his chest.

The top-secret "Hundred-Headed Dragon Ladon Project" has been used on him. It is not an experiment using alchemy and genetics to transform the human body, but an ancient ritual.

There are hundreds of thousands or millions of hybrids in the world. Among them, A-level hybrids are not really rare among the huge number. What are truly rare are those born with S-levels like Lu Mingfei.

But even so, the S-Class is not without traces. In the past few decades, from the Cape of Good Hope to the Korean Peninsula, dozens of outstanding S-Classes have appeared throughout Asia, Africa and Europe, and most of these people have become dragon slayers. Some of the vanguards were hidden by their families, and some were included in the executive department's gray list to perform top-secret missions.

But in fact, S-class is not the rarest type of hybrid.

What is truly rare, even legendary, is the bilingual spirit.

The so-called words and spirits are actually holy words recited in dragon script. These words can directly command the world to complete a certain task, such as a program that has already been programmed on a computer.

A hybrid can only use one program. This is a restriction set by the ancient emperor for his slaves. It can also be called a genetic lock to ensure his rule.

However, genes always mutate during reproduction. Over the long years, the DNA double helix structure of some hybrids has broken through the genetic lock cast by the Black King himself, turning them into aliens with the ability to possess two-spoken spirits.

Such aliens do exist in history. For example, in the chronicles of the Eastern Dragon Clan, there is a super hybrid named Yi, also known as Dayi, who killed nine pure-blooded dragons with bows and arrows in ancient times.

"Huainanzi·Benjingxun" says that Dayi shot the sun, "When Yao was caught, he went out ten days later, scorching crops, killing vegetation, and leaving the people with nothing to eat. Fish, chisel teeth, nine infants, strong winds, Yao ordered Yi to kill the nine infants in the wild waters of Chouhua and the strong winds in the Qingqiu swamp. He cut off the snake in the cave and captured Xi in the mulberry forest. All the people were happy and made Yao the emperor."

The "Book of Mountains and Seas: Autumn Water" written by Cheng Xuanying of the Tang Dynasty quoted the "Book of Mountains and Seas" sparingly: "Yi shot for nine days and fell into Wojiao."

Today, Chinese dragon research experts have deduced from various documents, alchemy vessels from ancient times, and the corpses of princes who were buried in Shandong after being killed by Yi. They believe that Yi’s spirit should be the "Holy Judge" and the "Black Sun". ".

The Holy Inquisitor asked Dayi to use his alchemy bow to shoot down the giant cholera dragon in the sky. The dragon and Yi fought in the fertile plains. Then the ancient dragon slayer used the black sun to kill nine princes and earls on the earth. , the extreme high temperature and the power of destroying everything turned the land into scorched black, so it "turned into scorched soil".

This is already an extremely ancient legend. From the fifteenth century to the present, there has never been a super hybrid with a two-tongue spirit in the world, at least not in the records of the academy.

The reason why the blood descendants of the Dragon Clan are truly superior to other species has never been their strong bodies, but the power of the Spirit of Words that transcends rules and transcends everything.

The academy has been pursuing the pursuit of pushing this power to the limit, such as the ancient alchemy matrix of the Night Watch that can expand the field and effect of word spirits.

The so-called "Ladon Project" is actually an evil ritual that uses an alchemical matrix to connect one person's spirit with another person's spirit, but there is an absolute primary and secondary relationship.

After Chu Zihang accepted this plan, he could activate the alchemical matrix when necessary, and then the frozen Japanese in the iron coffin would wake up from his slumber.

The blood of the person being sacrificed will begin to burn, his golden eyes will be ignited from the silence, and the spirit of words will be recited in the most high-pitched and life-exhausting way.

Then the Alchemy Matrix of the Night Watch will transfer this power to another Alchemy Matrix imprinted in Chu Zihang's bones and blood, and all the dragon texts of Time Zero recited by Fujiwara Shinnosuke with his life will appear in Chu Zihang's mind. , he doesn’t need to pay anything, he just needs to chant along, and the realm of time zero will be used by him.

But this power was so disgusting that Chu Zihang felt like the man-eating demon Hannibal, eating the irresistible Fujiwara Shinnosuke who was imprisoned in an iron coffin, thus gaining that person's power. strength……

"Zero broke away from our connection channel. What happened?" Caesar frowned and whispered. He put down the crystal-white crab legs in his hands, and his ice-blue eyes suddenly looked at the crab legs that had been put into the sea. The Trieste was raised again after a deep and shallow test, and its voice became serious.

That junior Russian girl always likes to run around, but here is the top of the Japan Trench. Below their oil tanker is eight kilometers of water, and the zombie army of the Gods may still be sleeping on the seabed!
Chu Zihang came back to his senses. He slowly exhaled and threw away the weird thoughts in his mind.

According to the principal, Shinnosuke Fujiwara is an elite cultivated by the Gattuso family and controlled by Mr. Frost.

But in fact, Angers knew Frost. Although this guy criticized Angers openly and covertly, he was definitely not a lunatic who would send assassins to attack Sleipnir directly at Haneda Airport.

Not to mention whether such an assassination operation can be successful, the trouble caused to the Gattuso family after the exposure of Shinnosuke Fujiwara is enough to keep Frost busy.

In other words, this guy may actually be controlled by a big figure from the dark side. That big figure can even insert his spy into a hierarchical and wealthy organization like the Gattuso family.

Since he wants to assassinate Angers, this guy must be on the opposite side of the college.

Ange hoped that Chu Zihang would not worry about whether he was drawing the blood of an innocent person when using the word spirit of Time Zero.

Because there are never innocents in this war.

"Zero Razumovskaya Romanova is a sophomore undergraduate student at Kassel College. She was originally scheduled to participate in Operation Extreme Abyss on November 2010, 11 and be incorporated into the maritime special operations team." Ying The blue girl appeared from the side of the fire, her skirt was slightly raised, her seaweed-like long hair was tied in delicate curls, her chin was small and pointed, her eyebrows were raised, and her eyes were shining brightly. The light of humanity.

"127 minutes ago, Commissioner Zero Romanova temporarily changed her schedule and went to Yamanashi Prefecture to perform an infiltration mission." EVA said with a smile,
"One of our school directors has made the decision to transfer the lovely Miss Zero from Operation Abyss to the True Red Earth Mission."

Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Generally speaking, a single school board cannot directly intervene in the operation of the college and ongoing military operations. Even if the Gattuso family wants to terminate an operation that may pose a threat to Caesar, they must first convene a meeting with the school board. Meeting, gaining majority support, summoned the president, vice-president and executive director, and they transferred Caesar back to the college from the brink of danger.

But the mysterious school director didn't seem to have gone through these procedures.

"Do I have the authority to know who that school director is?" Caesar asked.

He didn't really think that this mission would not be able to operate without Zero. After all, no matter how outstanding the little Russian girl was, she was only A-level. Today, there are so many talented people here, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are as many A-levels as dogs. .

But Caesar was very curious about which big shot made such a seemingly meaningless decision, and which school director could actually do something that even the Gattuso family found it difficult to do openly.

"Sorry, that school director doesn't want others to know his identity." Eva declined Caesar with a smile.

Compared to being casual and even wild in front of Lu Mingfei, Senior EVA can still maintain the image of a cold artificial intelligence in front of others.

"Actually, I think Zero is interested in Lu Mingfei." In order to make it easier for her to deal with the roasted leg of lamb that was brought to her, Susie put her long hair on top of her head with one hand, exposing her slender and fair back neck.

The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, her slender eyebrows were also raised slightly, and she looked at Chu Zihang and blinked.

"Zero seems to be unwilling to be approached by anyone in the academy. Even if a girl wants to approach her, she will be rejected. Many people call her the Queen of Vacuum." The fire of gossip that suddenly burned in Susie's heart was so intense that Chu, who seemed to be absent-minded, Zihang was actually raising his ears for fear that he might have missed a word.

"Teacher Masashi Toyama told me that she has a very serious mysophobia." Caesar shrugged, "This is normal. I had it before, but my mysophobia only affects men."

How could the noble son of the Gattuso family refuse the affectionate embrace of any woman?
When a girl musters up the courage to appear in front of you with flowers and a shy face, what Caesar Gattuso should do is to take her into his arms, invite her to a luxurious banquet, and give her a Cartier necklace. .

Even if that girl is actually a dinosaur girl, I can only accept it happily.

"But have you seen the posts about Ling and Lu Mingfei on the Night Watch forum? Some people see them in the cafeteria going out to forage together late at night almost every day." Susie told Cato with excitement as she gnawed on the leg of lamb. Master Suo shared gossip between girls with his embryo-killing boyfriend, although she thought that Chu Zihang should not be interested in such things at all.

"The word you said about foraging reminds me of an owl..." Caesar said.

"Or a weasel." Chu Zihang drank expressionlessly, with the unfinished tuna in front of him.

Susie was stunned. She didn't know why she couldn't keep up with the brain circuits of these two people.

"I mean, Lu Mingfei is the only one who gets special treatment from Zero." She suddenly grabbed Chu Zihang's left hand and held it in her arms like a little girl, "You don't know that girls treat certain people better than others. What does special mean?”

Caesar's face showed a look of understanding, but Chu Zihang's fingers trembled slightly and his expression became serious.

The president was about to express his opinion, but suddenly he closed his mouth.

Deafening whistles suddenly sounded from the three oil tankers at the same time. The decks vibrated slightly. Everyone in the wind and snow stopped in shock and looked around blankly.

But the execution department is worthy of being called the execution department. Although the killers were shocked, they immediately grasped their weapons.

"Bad news, gentlemen." EVA, who had just disappeared, suddenly appeared again. This time, the bright blue girl showed a solemn face, and she had an inexplicable military temperament.

Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other and stood up at the same time.

"The mission has been advanced. You still have 80 minutes to prepare for the dive." EVA said, "I know you have all written suicide notes, so you can then talk to your most important people, or enjoy the moment. This breakfast is great, but I don’t recommend you to eat it in full.”

"Why?" Susie tilted her head and looked curiously at the artificial intelligence that was said to be the soul of a real person. "Because the Trieste does not have a toilet, if you have diarrhea, you will have to deal with it on the spot." EVA showed a joking expression, "In addition, I have to remind you that the equipment department also did not give this deep submersible Install...an air purification device.”

Caesar's face darkened.

Chu Zihang's face turned pale.

The two of them obviously thought of one thing at the same time. They had just stuffed their stomachs with grilled lamb, blue lobster sashimi, and a huge portion of tuna.

"What happened?" Caesar asked coldly.

He was already considering inducing vomiting.

"I have no right to tell you any details. Someone will communicate with you next." EVA refused simply.

Caesar looked embarrassed. It was obvious that Master Gattuso was not good at "being rejected".

Then again, Caesar really hates the class system of the academy...he hates it to the core.

A person like him was born to be proud to stand on the top of the world and overlook everything. At any stage of Caesar's growth, he should be the most important one and the best one. In fact, until the day Lu Mingfei entered Kassel College, Caesar's life was exactly what he wanted.

Even in Kassel Academy, where the elite gathers all over the place, his young master Gattuso's class is A-level, which is able to stand out from the crowd. Although he sometimes doesn't want to admit it, he still wants to let Caesar sit in the academy because the family behind him has a seat on the school board. Like a fish in water.

But since Lu Mingfei joined the academy system, Caesar felt that his life had begun to become disillusioned.

First, he lost the free day representing honor while joining forces with the Lion Heart Society. Then, not surprisingly, he saw the former Flower of the High Mountain, the little witch Nono, taking the initiative to pursue Lu Mingfei. In the following time, there were countless He was hit completely from multiple directions.

After all, when permissions are open to oneself, it is a very cool tool for showing off, but once he is blocked from the door, it will be a damn class barrier.

At the same time that EVA disappeared again, the hissing sound of electricity came from the headphones of Caesar and Chu Zihang.

The technical team is testing the communication channel. The Dieste, the North American headquarters, the Principal's Sleipnir, and the three modified tankers currently used as temporary water combat platforms will all be assigned to different encrypted channels.

Since the college does not want a passing fisherman to inadvertently hear someone shouting on the radio "throw a nuclear bomb into the trench quickly" and other shocking and unscrupulous words, it is obviously necessary to encrypt the communication channel. of.

At the same time, this was also a signal that the mission was about to begin. Susie was trying to swallow the fragrant roasted lamb leg while she still had some free time, while Caesar and Chu Zihang subconsciously touched their weapons.

Caesar still brought his Desert Eagle and the hunting knife named Dictado.

The reason why he brought a gun was because Frost was extremely wealthy. He actually didn't investigate where the two bullets ground from the Philosopher's Stone had gone. He just applied to the clan elders immediately after learning that Caesar didn't have such a thing. The third and fourth Philosopher's Stone bullets codenamed "Burning Blood".

These warheads are filled with impure impurities, and the composition of those impurities comes from the fire element in the Norton keel.

Even eight kilometers underwater, the majesty of the King of Bronze and Fire can still be asserted. If he really encounters the awakened god, Norton's remaining power will make him regret being born in this world.

Chu Zihang, as always, only brought his Murasame.

Both of them pressed the wireless earbuds in their right ears. At this time, the wind direction on the sea suddenly changed. The snow that had been falling straight down now hit their faces like arrows being thrown from a distance.

The flame that rose after the charcoal burned in the stove flickered on and off, as if it would go out at any time.

Su Qian shuddered slightly, wrapped herself tightly in her coat, and then quietly hid behind Chu Zihang

"How are my Student Council President and Lionheart President?"

Ange's cheerful voice sounded from the other end of the earbud, "I am currently hovering over Tokyo Bay and can appear in the airspace of the Sea of ​​Japan at any time."

"Principal, are you still on Sleipnir?" Caesar hesitated and asked.

"This is my Air Force Two. The war has begun. Of course, leaders must always be on guard against being assassinated." Angers said.

Caesar and Chu Zihang were both silent for a while.

"I'm kidding, if there really is a war, I won't watch my students go to the battlefield alone." Angers' tone gradually became calmer.

Caesar complimented: "I knew you were not that kind of person, principal."

"It looks so boring. The vice principal will ask me to buy a few cases of beer and some fried chicken." The principal said.

"Principal, have you noticed that you and Lu Mingfei look a bit alike?" Chu Zihang said.

"Really?" Angers expressed his shock.

"Actually, I feel more like Fingel..." Caesar commented.

"Okay, okay, I'm really just kidding. When the war comes, of course you young people will run for your lives. Old guys like me will stay and fight. Only young people have hope, young people have vitality, and only young people have revenge. The motivation..." Ange said with emotion,
"I want to tell you that Operation Jiyuan is about to begin. We have to advance the plan because the commissioner of the Executive Department on the Long Island mission discovered that the power of the Snake Qihachi family is also at work within the US military stationed in Japan. This area The waterway management in the sea area is too bizarre and will be noticed by those people soon. In addition, we have mobilized an entire helicopter squadron to conduct military exercises here. If the headquarters of the Japanese Army really gets the news and discovers the anomaly, it will not Will sit back and ignore it.”

"My dad has some friends working in the Pentagon. Maybe we can bribe people in the headquarters." Caesar made constructive suggestions that even class enemies would find difficult to imagine.

There was apparently a few seconds of silence on the other side of the radio.

"Your father's network of connections is really amazing..." Angers said, "But let's not do it for now. I will use this favor later when I want to borrow an aircraft carrier formation."

"I want to tell you, don't act out of impulse, and put your own life first at all times." Angers said, "This is an era where even God cannot turn the tide."

Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other, both of them looking serious.

"I'm thinking, is there really a god who is awakening hidden in this sea? He is just waiting silently for hatching. The first thing he does after hatching is to destroy the world..." Caesar said quietly, looking up at the gray-white In the sky, the sea of ​​clouds connected with the ocean, like a gray line. The grand sense of mission that came to his face made Caesar feel that his blood was boiling.

"Are you thinking about this too?" he asked.

"No, I just want to go to the toilet so that I don't have to deal with it in the cabin later." Chu Zihang said.
-
The engineering elevator roared down, and it was pitch black below the wellhead. Only the crimson lines of artificial light sources flickered in the darkness. Through the dim light, Mingfei could see the straight falling snow.

Just now, he was squatting outside the elevator, with snow piled on his shoulders, frowning fiercely, finishing one cigarette and then refilling another, until finally the cigarette box was full. When it was empty, I finally mustered up the courage to step into the elevator I had once stepped on.

For many years, Lu Mingfei even thought that he would never come back here again.

Red well, red well.

The place that left him with nightmares and where fate completely broke his spine.

Countless times he had stood at the mouth of the well in his dreams, watching everything happen. Even though he later had such powerful power, he was still timid and cowardly.

He is still afraid of the past happening again.

As the elevator went down, Lu Mingfei slowly looked up. He saw a white wave falling from the well mouth, as if it was sealed by ice and snow.

"Senior sister, are you listening?" he asked.

A few seconds later, Nono's voice rang, "I'm here," she said.

"I'm back in Hongjing." Lu Mingfei's voice was very soft. He squatted down and curled up, as if he had curled up next to the pale and withered corpse many years ago.

Lu Mingfei quietly watched the well wall rise in front of him. He neither expressed sadness nor anger, but was so quiet that he let the ice and snow fall on his head and body. The melted snow was so cold that His bones were shaking.

Nuonuo's breathing stagnated slightly, and she sighed slowly. The great fatigue and weakness pulled her into the abyss just like when she faced Odin again last year.

The only thing left in the communication is the girl's breath, distant and deep.

Like the wind.

It's like...a distant tragedy.

"Don't blame your old self anymore, junior brother." Nuonuo said. She and Lu Mingfei were separated by the wind and snow. One was huddled in the corner of the helicopter in the gray-white clouds, and the other was huddled in the descending project of the deep water storage well. In the elevator, they didn't confront each other, but made similar actions.

"He was standing alone in the fog and very confused..." Nono said.
