Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 285 Zero's Visit
Shangshan Nanliusheng suddenly didn't know what to say. She looked at her sister with a complicated expression. The latter's beauty at this moment made her, who had long been accustomed to her sister's beauty, stunned for a moment.

Then she shook her head and said firmly, "No, if you can kill the king once, you can kill him a second time. If you can't kill him the second time, I will kill him a third time... There is no being in this world that cannot be killed. If there is, I will kill him until he dies."

She looked at Wangshu Nv, put her hand on her shoulder, and hugged her gently with a gentle look: "When we are together, we are the most powerful sisters in the world. We don't need anyone's help at all."

"...Sister." Shangshan Wangshu looked at her blankly, and also reached out to hug her sister. She almost forgot how long it had been since they hugged each other like this.

Wangshu Shangshan gently closed her eyes, feeling the gentle breath coming from her sister, then slowly opened her eyes and said faintly: "But, you have never seen General Wang, and you don't understand the abyss-like breath on him at all."

"Father should have told you about this, right?" She gently pushed Shangshan Nan Liusheng away, looked into his eyes and said, "About our background."

Shangshan Nanliusheng remained silent, lowered his eyes and turned his head away, not daring to look at his sister.

As the eldest sister, she should naturally take on the responsibility of a mother, and she is naturally qualified to ask who the mother who gave birth to them is. She asked Uesugi Yue, and then she knew that the birth of the sisters was different from that of normal people, and was based on genetic engineering.

Uesugi Nanryusei also asked Uesugi Yue the same questions as his sister. Isn't he afraid that she will feel alienated if he tells her these?
Uesugi Yue's answer was that, except for Eri, all the sisters were already mentally mature adults. Instead of waiting to be told about it in the future when they were living in harmony, which would lead to a rift, it would be better to talk about it now and let everyone live their lives as they wish.

Uesugi Nanryusei was silent for a long time, and then did not spend too much time on this issue. He just did as Uesugi Yue said, and let it be as it should be.

She hasn't figured out how to tell her sisters about this. Shangshan Wangshu might be more mature than her, and she might be the most suitable person to be a mother among the three sisters.

She probably accepted her words calmly, but Eri was different. Although her physical development was stronger than other girls of the same age, her mind was much younger than theirs. She might not even know what genetic engineering meant.

Shangshan Nanliusheng looked at his sister and smiled bitterly: "So you already knew it."

She should have known that the one who was most like a mother among them was Shangshan Wangshu, and she was also the one who cared the most about her family. If it were her, she would have already told Shangshan Yue about their sisters' life stories.

Shangshan Wangshu nodded silently: "Father did not tell us in detail about the genetic experiment he participated in. He himself was kept in the dark by the former Sheqi Eight Clans, so he left the Sheqi Eight Clans in anger and dealt a heavy blow to them before leaving."

Uesugi Nanryusei remained silent, which was one of the reasons why she acknowledged Uesugi Yue as her father. They were too similar in that they could not tolerate the Eight Clans of Sheqi.

However, Uesugi Yue, who had no worries, could take off the crown of the emperor, throw it hard on the ground, and simply give up. But she couldn't do that, because she was in the Snake Eight Families at that time, and she still had Eri to take care of.

The woman Shangshan Wangshu continued, "Among the materials left behind by the Eight Snake Families, there is no file about that experiment. It was either destroyed when my father left, or... was recovered by someone with ulterior motives."

"Someone with ulterior motives? General Wang?" Shangshan Nanliusheng suddenly frowned.

The Sheqi Eight Clan before the underworld war was certainly corrupt, but it was still a behemoth. It might be close to extinction, but it would never collapse so quickly... unless there was an enemy who knew the Sheqi Eight Clan extremely well, even better than they knew themselves.

Wang Jiang may be such an enemy, and everything about him is a mystery. But one thing is certain, he has an extremely close relationship with the Eight Clans of Sheqi.

"It's possible." Shangshan Wangshu nodded, then shook her head, "But I have another guess about General Wang's identity..."

Shangshan Nanliusheng looked at his sister, waiting for her next words. When she was in the fierce ghost group, Shangshan Wangshu was also one of the few people who could directly contact the king.

"...the person in charge of the genetic experiment." Shangshan Wangshu said dimly, "Perhaps only he who has a deep understanding of the royal blood can make me feel the pressure of looking directly into the abyss."

Shangshan Nanliusheng was suddenly stunned. Yes, there is such a person in this world. They don’t know who he is, and perhaps there is no need to know who he is. But this cannot be changed. That person is the one who “created” them, and is their “father” in the actual sense.

“Sister, are you still confident that you can kill General Wang?” Shangshan Wangshu’s voice was filled with helplessness. “Just like he knows the Eight Clans of Sheqi better than the Eight Clans of Sheqi, he may know us better than we do…”

Shangshan Nanliusheng opened her mouth but could not speak. She recalled the encounter between her two sisters and the remnants of the fierce ghosts. Just as Shangshan Wangshu said, he seemed to understand them better than they did.

"This is...really..." Shangshan Nanliusheng's voice was a little bitter.

She suddenly remembered that Uesugi Yue had confessed his life story to them. Perhaps he had such concerns, fearing that someone would take them away in the name of "father"...

"But this doesn't make sense." Uesugi Nanryusei noticed something was wrong. "We have lived in Kadori for more than ten years. If he really needed us, he could have taken us away with him."

"...Who knows if he existed in the Sheqi Eight Clan at that time?" Shangshan Wangshu replied dimly, "Even my father didn't know all the secrets of the Sheqi Eight Clan."

Uesugi Nan Liusheng fell silent again. The shock this conversation brought to her was no less than the shock she had felt when she learned from Uesugi Yue that they were born from genetic engineering. It was just that the latter really regarded them as daughters, while Wang Jiang was still planning something unspeakable in the shadows.

"So we need a helper, an ace helper who can surprise the king and has the power to defeat him." Shangshan Wangshu said softly, "Lu Jun is obviously such a person."

Shangshan Nanliusheng stared at his sister blankly, not knowing why she had such strong confidence in Lu Mingfei. She gave her a bitter smile: "But, he hasn't even awakened his bloodline yet. S-level may not be weaker than the emperor, but at least, his is a genuine S-level."

In response to her sister's question, Shangshan Wangshu smiled slightly and said, "We are not born with the ability to use the power of the royal blood."

"I still...can't agree with this." Shangshan Nanliusheng shook his head. "I'm not against finding a powerful helper, but choosing such a lucky color...a lucky person-like helper, this is a bit..."

"So, sister, do you have a good candidate?" Shangshan Wangshunu looked at Shangshan Nanliusheng with a smile.

Uesugi Nan Liusheng was unable to answer for a moment. Logically speaking, the best solution now was to contact his father. This old man who single-handedly ended the Japanese underworld war had thwarted Wang Jiang's plan once, so he would not mind thwarting it again.

However, let's not talk about whether he can leave Japan. I'm afraid that their coming here is part of the king's plan. Who knows if Uesugi Yue's arrival will also be in his calculations, or even accelerate his plan. Then the next best option is that the three sisters pack up and return to Japan. No matter what the king has planned here, can he find them thousands of kilometers away... But this is just a thought. Since they have already stepped into this place, the king probably won't let them leave easily.

Uesugi Nan Liusheng felt a little upset for the first time in a long time. After she witnessed the darkness of the Sheqi Eight Clan, she was also upset like now. However, since Uesugi Yue took over the position of the head of the family again, she has not been so upset.

It seems that even though the relationship between father and daughter is different from that of ordinary people, their father is fulfilling his responsibilities as a father.

Shangshan Nanliusheng smiled softly, and then a gorgeous mask flashed in his mind: "...zero."

Wangshu looked at her and said thoughtfully, "Mr. Zero's words do have that power, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of contacting us."

After a hasty farewell last time, Uesugi Nan Liusheng invited Zero. The latter said that he would show up, but there has been no news of him until now.

"But he is strong enough." Shangshan Nanliusheng said, "If it were him, he would never allow the king to mess around in this city."

The woman in the shirt sighed: "Sister, you really trust Mr. Zero."

"He's at least better than that lucky guy." Shangshan Nanliusheng glanced at his sister, "In my opinion, it's strange that you trust him. You haven't even met him a few times."

Lady Wangshu looked at her sister with a subtle expression: "But sister, you have never even met Mr. Zero once..."

"...Even so, he is worthy of trust." Shangshan Nanliusheng said silently.

Shangshan Wangshunu could only smile bitterly at this, feeling inexplicably that the way they sisters were now was completely opposite to what they were just now.

At this moment, there was a knock on the bedroom door. It was Sakura Yabuki. Her voice was a little anxious: "Ladies, we found this thing in the yard. You'd better take a look."

The two sisters looked at each other, and Nan Liusheng tidied up his clothes that were a little messy after being drunk, and asked Yabuki Sakura to come in. The latter entered the room respectfully and handed them a card.

"We found this on the doorpost in front of the door..." said Sakura Yabuki.

Uesugi Nanryusei was playing with the paper card in his hand. According to Yabuki Sakura, when the card was discovered, it was deeply inserted into a wooden pillar, but the card surface was not damaged. What a strong force it took.

But these are not important, what is important is the content above.

On one side of the card was a mask pattern that looked like it was hand-painted, with flame patterns on it, which looked quite cool. This mask was naturally familiar to Shangshan Nanliusheng, and on the other side of the card was an address. She looked at it and it was not far from here.

"What a coincidence..." said Shangshan Wangshunu in surprise.

She wasn't curious about how Zero found them, after all, they had never hidden their whereabouts, and even if someone wasn't paying attention, they would know where they lived. She was just simply amazed at this coincidence, after all, she had just said that her sister hadn't seen each other yet.

"I'll go see him." Shangshan Nanliusheng said.

She solemnly put away the card, walked a few steps outside, then suddenly stopped, lifted her sleeves and sniffed. Then she frowned, she even disliked the drunkard's appearance.

Nan Liusheng took off his coat which was stained with alcohol and walked quickly to the dressing mirror: "Change my clothes."

Yabuki Sakura immediately did as she was told, kneeling beside her, untying her casually tied hair, and then quickly and skillfully braiding it again.

The woman in the top shirt opened the wardrobe with a subtle smile and asked, "Which one should I change into?"

"The most solemn one." Shangshan Nanliusheng answered without hesitation.

……

Although the name of the Moon-Watching Pavilion is quite good, it cannot be changed. It is just an inconspicuous pavilion in the woods beside the South Lake. No one visits here during the day, not to mention the somewhat gloomy night.

The night was extremely dark at this moment, and only a shadow could be seen over the nearby South Lake. There was also a thin mist all around, and soon after the sun went down, dark clouds immediately covered it, blocking the already not very obvious moon, and a light drizzle began to fall.

The temperature in autumn nights is not very warm to begin with, and with the drizzle, the chill is even worse, causing those anglers who were planning to go night fishing by the South Lake to pack up their rods and go back early.

Chen Motong naturally went back as well. Lu Mingfei came here only after watching her taillights disappear. He looked at the fog around him and sniffed it, but he didn't find the unique smell of Nibelung. It seemed that this mist was just an ordinary mist.

As he was watching, Lu Mingfei suddenly sneezed. Then he felt something was strange. Logically speaking, with his current physical condition, he couldn't feel the cold at all. The concept of catching a cold didn't exist at all.

But for some unknown reason, he sneezed several times in a row.

This place is not too far from Shangshan's house. After all, they are the only family within a few hundred meters. If Lu Mingfei is thick-skinned enough, he can just release the sickle weasel and listen to everything in Shangshan's house.

But he still had a good impression of the three Kamishima sisters. If it really came to the point of releasing the kamaitachi, he would have to wait and see the results of the conversation tonight.

However, with his hearing ability far superior to that of an ordinary person, he still vaguely heard something, such as a lion, a gaze... It felt like a very strange and meaningless conversation.
