Dragon Clan: Start by obtaining the Sett panel

Chapter 334: Eri's Sakura
The sky turned red under the setting sun, and the whistling sandstorm finally stopped. In the yellow sand, the shadow of the viaduct could be vaguely seen.

The passage below was almost blocked by yellow sand. Gu Ye just strolled on the viaduct. In this painting that looked like a desert wasteland, he was like a drop of ink that suddenly fell, extremely abrupt.

"I always feel like I've been here before." The increasingly strong sense of déjà vu made Gu Ye a little confused.

He gradually quickened his pace, walking on the viaduct, until... he saw a sign written entirely in Chinese, and... something displayed on it.

"Where exactly is this place?" Gu Ye's pupils contracted as he looked at the words on the sign.

Like all signposts, this one, eroded by wind and sand but with faintly recognizable words, shows the direction it leads to.

The city mentioned in the text is exactly the seaside town where Gu Ye once lived.

For a moment, Gu Ye had a feeling that the world had changed dramatically, and the gun of destiny seemed to have brought him to the eve of the destruction of the world.

Gu Ye didn’t know what Pompeii’s purpose was, but he was eager to return to his city along the viaduct.

He wanted to know what had happened in his city to make it become what it is now.

On the other side, Lu Mingfei was lying on his bed, and the psychiatrist who was hurriedly called over by Sheqibajia was busy beside him.

Countless instruments were connected to him. He stared blankly at the ceiling, allowing the doctors to operate on him.

"Master, the examination is complete. Mr. Lu does not have any symptoms of schizophrenia, and all the data in his body are normal."

After a while, the doctor let out a long sigh and spoke to Yuan Zhisheng who was standing next to Ange.

"I understand. Let's go and don't disturb him for now." Yuan Zhisheng glanced at Lu Mingfei on the bed, and left with Angé.

In the corridor, Yuan Zhisheng leaned lightly against the wall, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and when he was about to light one for himself, he subconsciously glanced at Angers.

"Principal Ange, do you want it?"

"No, I'm more used to smoking this." Angé shook his head and took out a box of cigars from his suit pocket.

The two old smokers lit up their cigarettes at the same time. Under the smoke, Yuan Zhisheng finally spoke again.

"It looks like the Black King's bloodline is not stable?"

“The academy doesn’t know what the situation is, but it shouldn’t be a bloodline issue.” Angé shook his head.

"Although the last S-rank also had mental problems, he was completely different from Lu Mingfei. This was the first time I had seen him in this condition."

Although he said so, when Angers was out of Yuan Zhisheng's sight, his eyes became a little complicated.

Could it be because of that reason? Angers didn't know, but it was obvious that Lu Mingfei's situation was somewhat related to that reason.

Lu Lincheng, how many things are you hiding from me?
"Eri is very worried about him." Gen Chisei suddenly spoke, interrupting Angé's thoughts.

"At this point, we can only assume that this is a fantasy caused by his extreme lack of security. Maybe it would be better to let Eri spend more time with him," said Angé.

"I hope so." Yuan Zhisheng put out the cigarette and stood up straight.

"There are so many people in Cassel, there is no need to pin all our hopes on Lu Mingfei. Principal Angers, it's time for him to relax."

"I will, after all, he is my most proud student." Ang nodded.

"That's good. My family has other things to do, so I'll leave you for now." Yuan Zhisheng glanced at Angers, turned around and left the hotel.

Although Uesugi Yue has returned, Minamoto no Chisei is still the head of the Sheqi Eight Families on the surface. The influence caused by the White King is still there, and he needs to slowly calm down.

At least at this time, he could not live in seclusion as he desired.

"You look troubled? My brother." A voice suddenly came from the bedside, and Lu Mingfei sat up abruptly.

Little devil! He's back! Lu Mingfei turned his head, but didn't see the person he wanted to see.

Could it be that even the little devil was actually my illusion? Lu Mingfei was extremely confused. He could no longer distinguish what was real and what was fake.

"Gu Ye and I are both real, brother." The voice came again.

"Don't play tricks on me, Lu Mingze." Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Mingze's words undoubtedly gave him a shot in the arm, but his absence made Lu Mingfei feel very insecure.

He now really hopes that this little guy can appear in front of him, even if he has the same sarcastic expression as before.

At least… at least this way he wouldn't feel like he was alone in the world.

"Sorry, brother, I also want to come out to comfort you, but I'm too weak and can't come out." There was a hint of helplessness in Lu Mingze's voice.

"No one can help you bear the loneliness now. You can only rely on yourself."

This sentence brought Lu Mingfei back to the past, when the little devil said that the reason he didn't feel lonely was because he was responsible for everything.

Lu Mingfei then realized that he had been pretending all along and that he was actually so afraid of loneliness.

"Don't be sad, brother. Everyone will go through this stage, and so will you. You are destined to become the new king in loneliness."

"Where did Brother Gu go? And why did you disappear with him?"

"This matter is difficult to explain, but I can tell you that just follow your heart," said Lu Mingze.

"Why don't you tell me directly?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Brother, are you really ready?" Lu Mingze did not answer Lu Mingfei, but asked him back.

"What are you ready for?"

"It seems you are not ready yet. Have a good rest. The next time we meet will be in the last quarter."

After he finished speaking, there was no movement in the room for a long time. Lu Mingfei shouted Lu Mingze's name, but no one responded. The little devil had left.

He felt faint and when he came to his senses again, Lu Mingfei found that there was another person beside him. He thought it was the little devil and was about to speak when he found something wrong.

The sunlight outside the window shines into the room, making the hair of the person in front of me sparkle with a transparent texture. The girl's skin is as white as ice and snow, and her face is as cold as ice and snow.

"You're awake." Zero said.

"Why are you here?" Lu Mingfei asked. "I heard you were sick, so I came to see you." Ling pointed to the fruit basket beside him.

God knows how she bought the fruit basket so quickly. Besides, this is a hotel, not a hospital, so it always feels weird to buy a fruit basket.

Lu Mingfei wanted to complain, but looking at the quiet appearance of the three-no girl in front of him, he couldn't open his mouth.

"Do you know Lu Mingze?" Lu Mingfei asked after a moment's silence.

"Lu Mingze, your cousin, just returned to China a few days ago." Ling thought for a moment and spoke.

"I'm not talking about him, I'm... Oh, I'm talking about the person who handed you over to me. You should be very familiar with him, right?" Lu Mingfei racked his brains and finally came up with a suitable adjective.

"He is the most important person to me, and we have an agreement." Ling said softly.

"Is that so? Did he tell you why he was following me?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively, trying to find more information from Ling.

"No."

"Where did he come from? Why is he paying so much attention to me?"

"I can't say."

"Then you have to tell me what the next task he gave you is, right?"

"Let me follow you."

No matter how Lu Mingfei tried to hint at it, this "three-no" girl was like a robot and always stuck to her principles, so he could only give up helplessly.

“Forget it. I knew I wouldn’t get anything out of you.” Lu Mingfei turned his head away, closed his eyes in a huff, and stopped looking at Ling.

Probably a few minutes later.

"Will he come back?" Ling suddenly asked.

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes and saw a rare slight fluctuation on Ling's expressionless face. He saw something very familiar in Ling's eyes.

The same expression he always had when he sat on the rooftop after school and looked out over the city.

The girl was holding a little bear in her arms, as if she had been abandoned, and she calmly asked Lu Mingfei whether the little devil Lu Mingze would come back.

"Its name is Zoro, and he's my first friend." Zero spoke softly, introducing this partner.

Even though she didn't say anything else, Lu Mingfei guessed the girl's mood at the moment.

Lu Mingze is a man who deserves to die. He handed the girl over to him without any clear reason, leaving the little girl with no sense of security at all.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Mingfei could only lie: "He will be back, he is just away temporarily."

"I knew it, he promised me." Ling hugged the little bear tightly and looked out the window.

"Until that contract is fulfilled, neither he nor I will die."

"Sakura, are you awake?" Eri's voice appeared at the door. Lu Mingfei turned his head and met her worried gaze.

"Well, it's okay now, Eri." Lu Mingfei said.

Eiry trotted over to Lu Mingfei, looked him over carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

But when she saw Ling beside her, her expression became nervous again, like a child whose toy was taken away.

"I'll go out first." Ling glanced at Eri and quickly left Lu Mingfei's room.

"Don't be so nervous, she is just a friend of a friend of mine and has nothing to do with me." Lu Mingfei rubbed Eri's head.

If there is anything in the world that never changes, it must be Eri's love for him, right?
Huili sat down next to Lu Mingfei, rummaged in her pocket for a long time, and took out a label.

Then he stuck to Lu Mingfei and wrote the small words "Eri's Sakura" before lying down beside Lu Mingfei.

“You…” Lu Mingfei didn’t know what to say, but his originally bad mood became much better.

"Eri, if one day everyone thinks I'm crazy, will you believe me?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"I will believe everything Sakura says." Eri said softly.

"Oh, actually I..." Lu Mingfei spoke slowly, telling Gu Ye's story from high school to the recent past.

"Now I am the only one in the world who still remembers him. I don't know what to do."

Lu Mingfei lowered his head, looking extremely helpless.

But at this moment, he felt a warm touch on his head. Eiry was stroking his head gently, just like Lu Mingfei was comforting her.

"Does Sakura really want to see him?" Eri asked.

"Well, he shouldn't disappear like this without any explanation." Lu Mingfei said.

"Then go and meet him." Eiry and Lu Mingfei looked at each other.

"If you want to see him, go see him, just like I want to see Sakura."

Yes, what's the point of complaining here? Even if someone could really erase Gu Ye's existence, Lu Mingfei didn't believe he could make the whole world forget Gu Ye.

There will always be someone who remembers Gu Ye as much as I do. As long as there are still people who remember him, we can definitely find clues to bring Gu Ye back!
"Eri, are you willing to go with me?" Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei asked Eri.

"Wherever Sakura is, I'll be there." Eri nodded.

"Okay, let's set off now!" Lu Mingfei's eyes were full of determination.

"Since I can save you, I can definitely save Brother Gu!"

Just like the little devil said, people are destined to grow up in loneliness, but this does not mean that the help of others can be ignored.

Lu Mingfei will never give up any of his friends, absolutely!
