Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 243 The Emperor's Ghost

"Is it around here?" Chu Yuwei looked up at the area nearby. It was pitch black and there was no atmosphere of human society at all.

Because this place is too old, there are not many surveillance cameras, and it is not easy to see who was there through the cameras. It is so cold here that it seems to be out of modern civilization. It is hard to imagine that there are still people living here.

"Well, we asked around at the shops outside the community, and no one saw anything suspicious." Lu Mingfei, who had called her over, nodded.

The word "thing" is used very cleverly, after all, the guy who is secretly spying may not be a human.

"Yeah, I understand." Chu Yuwei nodded and turned her head to look in the direction of the alley. "Did you see anything?"

In the dark alley, the red-haired girl closed her eyes and stood quietly in the darkness. In order to reduce unnecessary interference, they even turned off the lights. Her eyeballs swayed restlessly under her tightly closed eyelids. Chen Motong suddenly opened his eyes and rubbed his swollen eyebrows.

She shook her head and said tiredly, "Yes, but no."

"What do you mean?" Chu Yuwei also frowned.

When she heard about the situation here on the phone, she subconsciously thought of Chen Motong's ability which was even more mysterious than ordinary profiling, so she took her with her when she returned to her room without saying a word.

Sure enough, after she came here, she stood silently in the alley and closed her eyes as if she had discovered something.

"There was indeed something here just now." Chen Motong's voice still revealed fatigue, "But I can't see it clearly. It's like a mosaic. I can't even tell what species it is."

After finishing speaking, Chen Motong returned to the Maybach parked on the side without saying a word. When she passed by Lu Mingfei who was thinking, she suddenly paused, opened her mouth slightly and wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked at her in confusion. He didn't know what was going on, but she seemed to be out of shape. He also didn't know what Figel had said to her in the afternoon.

Chen Motong went back to the passenger seat and lay down, looking very tired. Lu Mingfei came back to his senses and continued to think, then his phone suddenly vibrated, he took it out and took a look, then looked in the direction of the Maybach inexplicably.

The message came from Chen Motong, and it only contained a few simple words, "Don't investigate further." Not long after the message was sent out, Chen Motong withdrew it, as if he was afraid of being seen by something.

Lu Mingfei was totally confused. What on earth was this crazy person trying to do?
"Speak clearly." He sent a message, but there was no response for a long time. He glanced at the passenger seat of the Maybach, who was motionless. Seeing how tired she was, Lu Mingfei stopped and asked her what she thought.

He sighed and sent a message: "Thank you for your hard work, have a good rest."

"Yeah." Chen Motong responded.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and turned to look at Chu Yuwei who was walking towards him.

"I've notified the branch office, they'll keep an eye on what's happening here." Chu Yuwei said, glancing towards the old neighborhood, "Xia Mi, stay at my house for now, you should go back early too, it's already very late, and you still have classes tomorrow."

After saying that, she walked towards the Maybach.

“Then after school tomorrow…” Lu Mingfei said towards her back.

Chu Yuwei suddenly stopped talking, and after a pause, she said, "...I am free after 4:30 in the afternoon."

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that the discomfort in his heart had subsided a little: "See you tomorrow then."

"Yeah." Chu Yuwei answered softly.

"Wait, wait!" Xia Mi, who was carrying a lot of bags, suddenly rushed down. The hair on her head shook, and her face was alert. "What do you mean see you tomorrow?"

"See you at school tomorrow." Lu Mingfei glanced at her indifferently, then threw her, her bag and the dog into the back seat of the Maybach.

Ignoring the man and the dog who were staring at him, Lu Mingfei waved to Chu Yuwei who was in the driver's seat. After watching the Maybach disappear into the darkness, he put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the darkness behind him.

The next moment, a gorgeous mask covered his face, his golden eyes flickered, and the hem of his black windbreaker rustled in the wind. The invisible wind covered Lu Mingfei's body, carrying him to the top of the tallest building nearby.

He stood in the darkness and closed his eyes silently. Invisible elves cheered around him. These were the kamaitachi.

According to legend, they would attack humans in groups of three. The first would trip the human, the second would cut the wound, and the third would apply medicine. Some people often feel a dull pain somewhere on their body after being blown by the wind, but there are no scars or bloodstains. This is probably due to their good deeds.

This legend has an indescribable subtlety. In short, the sickle-weasels gathered around Lu Mingfei are a group of transparent elves that only the users can see and touch. They can fly a long distance and bring very small sounds back to their masters.

Lu Mingfei closed his eyes silently, and the invisible elves rushed out with cheers. The area covered the surrounding blocks, and an unknown number of sickle-weasels brought back sounds of all sizes to him.

He heard someone singing a heart-wrenching song in a KTV on the next street, which was so unpleasant that it made him regret why he had ears. He also heard the sound of rats gnawing on kitchen waste in the kitchen.

He heard Maybach leaving, the little troublemaker complaining to Chu Yuwei about how he bullied her, he heard the sound of Fenrir stealing snacks, and the sound of Chen Motong's breathing as if he was pretending to be asleep and was on guard against something.

Suddenly, Fenrir, who was dazzled by the snacks, called out, and Lu Mingfei suddenly opened his eyes, and the Word Spirit: Moment was activated. With wings spread out behind him, he suddenly landed on a deserted street.

A white shadow danced silently in the darkness. It was covered with white scales and had slender but extremely sharp horns on its head. Its body was extremely slender, with obvious female features, but as soft as a snake, and possessed a strange beauty that made people unable to look away.

It has a pair of white wings behind it, proving its identity as a high-level dragonborn.

Lu Mingfei's eyes were inevitably attracted to it. It was not as ugly as the Deadpool he had seen before, nor was it as tall and majestic as those pure-blooded dragons, with an evolutionary posture that surpassed that of humans.

But it has a beauty between an angel and a devil.

Lu Mingfei was attracted by it, and so was his sword. The long sword Tianya broke through the sound barrier, and the blade glowed with bright red and golden light. The high temperature and electric light distorted the air near the sword, and no one could dodge this sword. But the white creature slowly drew out a sword and placed it flat in front of him. Lu Mingfei then realized that this guy's speed could keep up with him in the instant state!
Just like a supersonic fighter jet flying at full speed at low altitude, all the glass near the street shattered, and the scattered glass fragments blocked Lu Mingfei's sight. He raised his head, and countless glass fragments reflected his golden eyes.

The white figure was also reflected in the glass fragments. Lu Mingfei saw its face, which was also covered with white scales, decadent yet holy. Above it, a pair of beautiful golden eyes were silently watching him.

All the glass fragments fell to the ground, forming more and smaller fragments. Lu Mingfei looked down and saw countless golden pupils reflected on the countless fragments. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

The sound of the Maybach's emergency brakes came from behind him, and Lu Mingfei silently looked at the subtitles in front of him that said Shanshan was late.

"Shadow of the Past, Emperor's Ghost, Attack:?; Defense:?; Agility:?; Word Spirit:?"

……

Uesugi Eriya suddenly woke up from her dream, and she fumbled around the tatami in a panic. In her haste, she accidentally bumped into something, and she picked up the knocked-over lamp, and after turning it on, the faint light illuminated the bedroom, and the panic on her face was slightly relieved.

This is a Japanese-style bedroom, the bed is placed on the tatami, there is a screen next to it, and there are many dolls under the screen. Their faces are placed towards the bed, silently watching the red-haired girl with messy red hair and a look of panic on her face.

Uesugi Erii fumbled under the pillow until she took out a photo album, and then the remaining panic on her face disappeared completely.

She spread out the album on the quilt. It was not photos, but postcards. They showed Tokyo Sky Tree, Sensoji Temple, Disney, Meiji Jingu Shrine... all famous attractions in Tokyo. It was not surprising that a Japanese girl from Tokyo had these.

But the secret lies on the back of these postcards, where some simple words are written on the blank back.

"04.24, go to Tokyo Sky Tree with Sakura, the warmest place in the world is at the top of the Sky Tree."

"04.26, I went to Meiji Shrine with Sakura. Someone was holding a wedding there."

"04.25, went to Disney with Sakura. The haunted house was scary, but it wasn't scary because Sakura was there."

They were all silly and cute looks, with simple meanings and poor rhetoric. If someone saw it, they would probably be more certain of their guess that the third daughter of the current underworld family was indeed much younger than Liu Miaomiao in terms of mental age.

Then he would probably wonder why he saw the lingering Sakura again?
There are many postcards, each with a sentence. The latest one is a long time ago, it is a postcard of the main entrance of Shilan Middle School, and Shilan's enrollment brochure will be attached with such a postcard.

The same sentence was written on the back: "...I met Sakura. As expected, he didn't remember me, but it doesn't matter. I just remember him. We exchanged contact information again. This time he told me his name in person. It's Lu Mingfei. This is much more meaningful than hearing it from my sisters."

Uesugi Erie turned over the postcard and silently looked at the honor roll at the corner of the school gate. The boy in a suit and leather shoes was extremely confident on the stage. He was invincible, like a lion, and did not look humble at all like a gigolo in a male escort shop.

Thanks to the developed Internet and the short videos that came across the ocean, Uesugi Eri saw him again.

Footsteps were heard outside the door, and the Japanese sliding door was opened. Uesugi Eryi put away the photo album, sat quietly on the bed, and looked at her two sisters in yukatas obediently.

Shangshan Nan Liusheng sat down beside the bed, held her somewhat cold hand, and asked softly, "Did you have that nightmare again?"

Uesugi Eriya nodded silently, the dim light illuminating her pale face. The panic had dissipated, but some effects would not disappear so easily.

"Poor Eri, she finally got rid of the disease, but now she's haunted by nightmares again." Uesugi Wangshu tidied up Uesugi Eri's messy hair, put her arms around her shoulders, and gently embraced her in her arms.

Shangshan Nanliusheng was silent. Their youngest sister had suffered from an unknown disease since she was a child. She couldn't speak and didn't want to communicate. She was closed in her own world. She was like a golden bird kept in a birdcage, staring at the sky outside all day long.

Then one day, this unknown disease suddenly became more serious, she suddenly fell into a coma, and her body temperature suddenly rose and could not be lowered. The entire Uesugi family was helpless, and their old father, who claimed to have retired for many years, had a gloomy expression that was frightening.

The best doctors in Tokyo and even in Japan were "invited" to the Uesugi family, and planes to other countries to "pick up" external doctors have also taken off.

The city of Tokyo was in a state of minor shock, and only then did people truly realize that this old man who had ended the Snake Eight Family era truly possessed the power to cause an earthquake in the entire Japan.

The good news is that Miss Shangshan survived this crisis. The bad news is that she lost her memory, or... she really woke up.

She was no longer as closed off as she was in the past, her eyes regained their vitality, and she began to explore the world outside her ancestral home. However, she cast a strange look at her closest relatives, especially her two sisters.

Shangshan Nanliusheng couldn't even recall how desperate she was at that time. Fortunately, after she played a game with her sister as usual, her sister suddenly looked at her without saying a word or doing anything.

After a long while, the younger sister tentatively asked in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible: "Yuan...sister?"

Shangshan Nanliusheng was so excited that she burst into tears. It was the first time she heard her sister speak. She couldn't help but hug her and told her that Yuan was her old surname, and now her surname was Shangshan, the same as hers.

Shangshan Wangshu also quickly gained her sister's trust due to her long-term and persistent care. Only her sister still looked at their father with a questioning look.

But after that, their sister never spoke again.

The good times didn’t last long. After the illness, my sister was haunted by inexplicable nightmares until now. It is said that in her dream, she saw...

Shangshan Nanliusheng took his sister's other equally cold hand, put it in his palm and warmed it with his body temperature. She smiled gently, revealing a gentle expression that she would never show under his hands or in the outside world.

She said softly: "That was just a nightmare. We are sisters, sisters with the same blood. How could we kill each other?"
