Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

"Brother, you don't have to fight so hard." A low sigh came from behind Lu Mingfei, and a strange scene happened. An extremely cold area rose from the bottom of the sea and went up, almost covering the entire world.

The sea water and the mountain-like water walls in the area were condensed, and the moisture in the air crystallized at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming densely packed snowflake-like substances in front of Lu Mingfei. They were suspended in the air and collided with each other as the crystallization intensified, making the sound of thousands of wind chimes swaying.

Lu Mingfei looked around and saw that everything on the tattered deck of the Atlantic Sun God was immersed in the grayish-white light of the sky.

Everything around was frozen, everyone turned gray, and this huge cruise ship had the texture of white marble. The solemn and cold color rushed towards me, like a tide of death falling from the sky.

Lu Mingfei was shocked to find that all the wounds on his body, which together could kill a person no less than five times, had healed. His bones snapped back into place, his flesh and blood grew again, and his bloody scales broke out of his new skin and snapped shut.

His back cracked, and the wings made of bones slowly opened. They were much larger and more powerful than the pair that Herzog had just cut off. They were filled with such hideous beauty, like an angel who had died and gone to the underworld.

Lu Mingfei reached out to push away the sharp ice crystals formed by the moisture in the air, and then touched Constantine's head. There was not much fear in the child's eyes, but anger, so angry that he seemed to want to burn the world to ashes with a candle dragon.

“Hmph, you shameless little brat, you’re even trying to steal someone else’s brother.” The little devil pushed Lu Mingfei away like an angry tiger cub and thrust his hands into Constantine’s carefully groomed hair, ruffling the thick, natural curls into a mess.

Lu Mingfei didn't care about it.

He had hardly had time to rest since Norton was killed at Six Flags in Chicago, nor had he had time to take care of Constantine as he had promised Norton. The child was very close to Eri.

"Lu Mingze, did you hear what he said?" Lu Mingfei frowned and looked at the dragon-shaped cross at the end of the gray-white sky. Herzog perfectly inherited part of the White King's genes, and possessed strength that exceeded that of the dragon kings when they were young. Even his body was not a pure human body like Xia Mi and Lao Tang.
"The old dog got hold of the 2011 Tokyo mission report through Norma and reworked a plan based on it, thereby depriving us of our prophetic advantage."

"It's a very clever move. I delivered the head of the Uesugi family into your hands, lowering your vigilance and your barely concealed murderous intent towards him... Brother, have you ever thought about assassinating Tachibana Masamune and the King General before coming to Japan?" The little devil put his hands on his hips and faced the direction of the flooded Tokyo. At this time, the tsunami in the city was gradually fading away. The citizens who had been hiding in the high-rise buildings not long ago poured into the streets, driving in a panic trying to leave Kyoto, which was about to be destroyed.

The closer Tokyo Bay was completely submerged. Red and yellow heavy equipment stood in the layers of white waves. Hundreds of tons of sea water smashed into pieces on the sturdy steel frame structures, and the curtain of ice crystals made their outlines look illusory, like the skeletons of a dead giant.

"It's more than just assassination. I even thought about arresting them and using all ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty on them." Lu Mingfei said.

"Why didn't you do it in the end?"

"Because Herzog is indeed a very good actor. He deceived me, deceived Yuan Zhisheng, and even deceived himself." Lu Mingfei whispered.

"You probably haven't intuitively felt what kind of reputation the things you have done have left you in the world of mixed-bloods." Lu Mingze's back was immersed in the skylight that came through the gaps in the clouds. He turned his wrist, and the ice crystals around him began to play thousands of colorful pictures like screens connected together. In each picture, someone was chanting Lu Mingfei's name in Chinese, English, German, Spanish and Russian. Everyone who chanted this name had an innate superiority and ability to strategize, and the gold in their eyes was as blazing as a giant, flickering candle.

Tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of illusory silhouettes were fast-forwarded in front of Lu Mingfei. His own name echoed in his ears, eventually combining into a majestic call.

"Kill Norton, kill Fenrir... Although it's just a lie, and there have been more than one confrontation with the unknown first-generation Odin, many people believe that you are the only one in thousands of years who has the hope of leading mankind to end the old era." The little devil said, he turned around, and a surprisingly cute smile appeared on his small face with scaly armor, "Brother, facing you like this, will Herzog be afraid, will he hesitate, and will he have doubts about his plan?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned, then he understood.

There was no such thing as Bondarev, and no such thing as infrasound recordings for hypnotizing clones. Perhaps even the clues that Jude Mai obtained from Tachibana Masamune's office and living room that could point Lu Mingfei in the wrong direction were all conspiracies carefully planned by Herzog.

"He even hinted in his dreams that his identity was KGB Colonel Bondarev," said Lu Mingfei.

"He wasn't hinting at himself, but at you." Lu Mingze shrugged. "By sending the head of the Uesugi family to you without reservation, he lowered your vigilance against him and made you suspect that Tachibana Masamune was actually someone's puppet. Then he used the infrasound waves with the sound of the clappers that Mai eavesdropped on to hypnotize himself at the subconscious level, weakening the self-awareness of 'Herzog' and strengthening 'Bondarev' in a certain period of time... Look, brother, you really got fooled, didn't you? After seeing the unrecognizable but still recognizable corpse of Herzog in the Nibelungen underground of Genji Heavy Industries, even you gradually began to accept the speculation that Tachibana Masamune had already been replaced by the organization behind Herzog."

"He's afraid of me."

"No, he is in awe of you." Lu Mingze chuckled.

"Even the arrogant Dr. Herzog has nightmares that he will never get over in his lifetime. You are his nightmare. It was you, brother, who killed the man who stole the White King's power in that mission report that was clearly from the future. Herzog is a materialist, and his research on the Dragon King has always been conducted from a scientific perspective. However, such a staunch materialist actually firmly believes that fate cannot be defied, so he respects you and regards you as... destined for heaven."

“But what if I hadn’t asked Sister Mai to monitor him? Then I wouldn’t have obtained that USB flash drive, nor would I have gotten the analyzed infrasound waves from that USB flash drive. Ultimately, before the war of gods begins, I will definitely kill Tachibana Masamune and the king, even if I have to go to the ends of the earth!” Lu Mingfei looked up at the frozen gray White King and felt that he was so ugly and so despicable that even the hideous expression on his face was as ridiculous as a clown.

"We are old rivals of Dr. Herzog. Brother, you may know him best except for himself. Do you think he can guess from the mission report that Lu Mingfei was actually a cowardly and weak person at that time? But this time you have regained your strength, and everything has changed. The honor of killing Norton is shared by you and Caesar, but the honor of killing the King of the Earth and the Mountain is not shared with you. What would the doctor think? He already knew that you were a prophet, and he also knew that you wanted to kill him, and he hated you so much!" Lu Mingze said,
"In the past, you and everyone else carefully described Herzog's understanding of dragons as if we were discussing a taboo, but you didn't know that what he really understood was human nature... If he were you, he would definitely be fully prepared if he got a chance to start over. For this reason, he would not even mind using a white phosphorus incendiary bomb to turn the entire Genji Heavy Industries into a sea of ​​fire and bury the thousands of people there as his enemies... Of course, we can boldly guess that Dr. Herzog has spent a huge amount of time studying you, and this time the only person he really regards as an opponent is you. In this way, he will easily get your behavior pattern, and from analyzing everything you have done in the past, it can be found that you are not a person who can do anything to achieve your goals. So, if you are not sure whether Tachibana Masamune is Herzog, and you don't have the courage to tear your face with the entire Japanese branch, the only means left for you is obvious surveillance."

Lu Mingfei sighed and sat down next to Lu Mingze. He didn't have the confidence to refute anything the little devil said.

He is just that kind of person. Although he has made up his mind to do certain things, he is unwilling to hurt other innocent people for these things, nor is he willing to drag more people into the dangerous storm.

It may sound hypocritical, but in the first twenty years of another time and space, Lu Mingfei was just a poor kid with little sense of existence.

When I was studying at Shilan Middle School, my PE teacher was a retired gymnast in his early twenties. He always used various excuses to shirk his duties when Lu Mingfei was in class. According to gossip, he was dating the English teacher from the next class. As the monitor, Zhao Menghua used the multimedia display to show movies to his classmates.

Once, when Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man was being shown, Xu Yanyan whispered to his twin brother Xu Leilei in the seat in front of Lu Mingfei that Spider-Man was truly a chivalrous and righteous citizen, and asked, "What would you do if you became Spider-Man?" Xu Leilei then put his hands on his hips, his eyes sparkling, and laughed strangely, "Need I ask? Of course I would rape, rob, and commit all kinds of evil."

Zhao Menghua next to him also joined the discussion and said that my father met Tobey Maguire when he attended a charity dinner in the United States. He was more handsome in person than in the movie. Anyway, Lu Mingfei was dozing with his chin in his hand, and the corner of his eye was glancing at the tall and handsome white figure sitting by the window.

At that time, Lu Mingfei thought that even if he appeared in a world like Spider-Man, he would just be a passerby with little presence, right? It would be better not to appear in that world, this place is also good...

Who knew that later an old bald man came and said to him, "Lu Mingfei, you are light, you are electricity, you are an awesome legend. Come and join our Kassel Academy. You will get a scholarship of 300,000 yuan a year and you will get personal service from beautiful senior sisters. What are you worried about? No, at most you will be asked to slay a dragon or something..."

In short, he is a person with strong empathy. Many years of habit make him still imagine himself as a weak person when others put themselves in the position of a strong person, so he has more pity and sympathy.

"Then how can he be sure that the thing is not false information made up by Norma?" Lu Mingfei seized the blind spot. He was unwilling to believe Lu Mingze's speculation or the facts he revealed, because if this was true, it meant that deep in the logic of EVA, someone with authority no less than his had already seen a corner of the future.

The little devil once said that there are no more than three such people in the whole world, the other two being Angers and Fingel.

Lu Mingfei is the only one who has personally experienced the powerful computing power of EVA. In the eyes of this senior sister whose soul is sealed in a computer, all the artificial intelligence and supercomputers in the world are not worth mentioning. Kaguya cannot even break through Norma's firewall, let alone EVA's database.

This means that there must have been someone between Ange and Finkel who betrayed Lu Mingfei and pushed Herzog to this point.

Lu Mingfei didn't want to imagine such a reality.

Every road in this world is paved with thorns, but betrayal is the most hateful.

"I remember you have watched the Tokyo mission report many times. You should still remember the report mentioning the killed King of Bronze and Fire and King of Earth and Mountains." Lu Mingze also sat down. The two sat side by side on the edge of the deck of the Atlantic Sun God, staring at the dimming Tokyo in a daze.

"Herzog got the document before the academy killed Norton," said Lu Mingze.

The revival of the Dragon King has always been a low-probability event since the Secret Party began recording history, and such incidents have only occurred a few times in thousands of years.

The document mentioned that the secret party killed the King of Bronze and Fire and the King of Earth and Mountains respectively. This was a superposition of low-probability events, and he had no choice but to believe it.

Lu Mingfei sighed slowly.

"He is such a scary opponent, isn't he?" The little devil reached out and hugged the man beside him, a long-lost look of relief showing on his cute face.

"So this time, is it Yuan Zhisheng or Yuan Zhinu that he used as the Holy Grail?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"It's Yuan Zhisheng. Fengjian Liuli's bloodline has always been the same as his brother's. The reason why he is much stronger than Huang is because he has been injected with evolutionary drugs for a long time. Although that drug has given him unparalleled power and strength, it is also destroying his genes. Although it won't kill him, how can a contaminated body serve as a host for the Holy Relics?"

Lu Mingfei closed his eyes silently.

"Herzog used Tachibana Masamune's identity to forge a Japanese sword for Minamoto Chisei. The name of the sword is Kamikiri. When he gave it to Minamoto Chisei, he said, 'I hope you can use this sword to cut off the head of God.'" The little devil showed a trace of sarcasm on his face.
"There is an ancient dragon serum hidden in the handle of the Shinkiri sword. It is the serum that Herzog extracted from the ancient dragon embryo on the Lenin twenty years ago. Gennosuke regarded it as the last gift left by Tachibana Masamune for himself and used it, preparing to replace the head of the Uesugi family and stand opposite God on the final battlefield..."

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes and stared at Lu Mingze blankly.

"Of course. Originally, only the Uesugi family was qualified to be cultivated as the Holy Grail... In order to prevent you, my brother, from being like an unruly barbarian and chopping off the heads of Tachibana Masamune and the King General as soon as you arrive in Tokyo, that guy sent the little girl to you. In this way, he can only cultivate a new Holy Grail." The little devil shrugged. "His actions are going smoothly. Genji used the ancient dragon serum and is evolving towards the direction of the dragon clan. Before being parasitized by the Holy Relics, that guy's bloodline was probably not inferior to that of the head of the Uesugi family, right?"

So the tortoise couldn't escape the fate of being killed in the end...

Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked behind him. So many twisted and frightened faces were crowded on the deck. The men who were entrusted with important tasks by Henkel still held their weapons even though their whole bodies were trembling.

They didn't even know how to fight, but their first reaction at this time was still to fight the enemy desperately.

"Is he here to kill me?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"And Uesugi Erie... In fact, Herzog's genes are incomplete, and he is far from being a true White King. All the descendants of the White King in this world will be devoured by him to complete the lost fragments for him." The little devil yawned and glanced at Herzog who was frozen in the sky. "If he still cannot obtain the ownership and power of the ancient White King in the end, then a war for the final throne will break out between him and the Yamata no Orochi. Of course, the premise is that he can leave here alive."

"Are you so sure that I will trade with you? I see that my junior sister is very strong now, maybe she can beat me?"

"Hey, hey, hey, brother, you are really a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. You can talk about eating gigolos so refreshingly."

"Caesar's father once said that a man who can live off a woman is a capable man."

"I really lost to you... But it's not because of Jörmungandr. I don't plan to take your soul now." The little devil suddenly showed a sinister smile on his face.

"Instead, he was poisoned. The poison that could kill the Dragon King entered his body along with Yuan Zhisheng's blood... Some people have been chess players their entire lives, but never thought that one day a chess piece would jump out and bite him hard. This bite might have directly bitten that guy's aorta."
