Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 388 Escape
Izanami looked at Lu Mingfei who had gently put down the sleeping Uesugi Wangshu, and said softly: "If you are planning to irritate me with this, there is no need to do so. These girls were originally prepared for you. If the reason for you rejecting me is the Nibelungen Project, then I can also make a crystal palace for you."

She added: "All the girls you fancy will be at Crystal Palace. I guarantee they will be exactly the same girls you know."

Lu Mingfei stood up and looked at her silently: "You didn't even consider bringing them here."

Izanami shook her head. "What we lack is trust, so I don't want to deceive you. The soul is unique and cannot be replicated, and the place we want to go cannot be reached by anyone except us."

"Do you think you can take me away?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Izanami looked at him, stroked her chest and chuckled: "Have you forgotten? We signed an inseparable covenant with each other's blood as a witness."

Lu Mingfei subconsciously touched the golden blood stains on the corners of the mask, and looked at Izanami again. She was still using Uesugi Eriya's body, smiling like a flower, with red lips as charming as a ghost. Her lips were dyed red by Lu Mingfei's blood.

She obtained the blood that Lu Mingfei used to stabilize Uesugi Eri's bloodline, or rather, this was her original purpose.

The power of hybrids comes from the dragon bloodline in their bodies. The importance of blood to the dragon race can be imagined. In ancient times, there was witchcraft that used blood as a medium, which was almost as important as the real name.

Lu Mingfei could feel that there was an inexplicable connection between him and Izanami.

He thought about everything Izanami had done so far, and looked at her silently: "You have done so much just for this, aren't you tired?"

Izanami needed a proxy, so she chose the three Uesugi sisters to be the three noble children of the new world. However, she seemed unwilling to let her shrine maidens live a stable life. She alienated them and tortured them...

She did a lot of seemingly meaningless things just to imitate the old world.

"What do you mean?" Izanami looked at him questioningly, then looked down at herself, "These three sisters? I'm not tired. After waking up from a long sleep, the thing I have the most is time... Well, I still lack a little."

She changed the subject: "I don't know when the doomsday will come, so the sooner we leave here, the better."

"Yes, the sooner the better..." Lu Mingfei said faintly, the golden mandala flower in his eyes was slowly turning.

"It's useless to use my words against me." Izanami smiled.

"This is not to deal with you." Seeing the same mandragora flower appear in the other party's eyes, Lu Mingfei said, "It is to speed up your escape plan."

……

Uesugi Nanryusei leaned against the wall in a daze, slid down the wall and fell to the ground. Her hands were still shaking, and the bloody knife in her hand had already fallen to the ground. The girl lying in a pool of blood opposite her was her sister.

She didn't know why she was here. She only knew that she seemed to be in Nibelungen in the last second, and Fengjian Liuli, who occupied her sister's body, was following her closely... Then, she came here.

Uesugi Nanryusei remembered this place, the warehouse of the only middle school in Kadori Town. It was here that she accidentally injured her sister.

But that should have happened many years ago, but the way it is presented before us now seems as if it just happened.

The strong smell of blood stung Uesugi Nanryusei's nerves, making it impossible for her to think normally. She seemed to have forgotten something very important, as if someone had taken over her body. It seemed that someone had taken off the mask in front of her.

The sister in the pool of blood was motionless, as if she was dead. Uesugi Nanryusei didn't even dare to go over to check. She was afraid to lift up her sister's pale face and see not her delicate and flower-like sister, but the revengeful ghost that crawled out of hell, Kazama Ruri.

"Aren't you going to save her?" a voice suddenly sounded.

Uesugi Nanryusei was startled and looked around in horror, just like a person who had been caught after committing murder. She subconsciously believed that she had killed her sister.

The boy in the black windbreaker appeared in a corner of the warehouse for some reason. He leaned against the wall with his arms around his chest. Half of his body was exposed to the light, while the other half, including his face, was in shadow.

The inexplicable sense of trust in the boy made Uesugi Nanryusei calm down a little, allowing her to think for a moment.

"It's... it's useless..." She answered weakly, looking sadly at her sister who was lying in a pool of blood, "She's already dead. I did it."

"She's not dead." The boy said, "Although I don't know what good this will do to Izanami, but her purpose is to make you suffer... Maybe she would do it even if there is no benefit. She seems to like this kind of hurting between close relatives."

Uesugi Nanryusei was stunned for a long time before he realized who Izanami was talking about. That was the god, the god who created the entire Snake Eight Clan.

She was stunned for a long time before she said dejectedly, "So what? That's God, he's invincible."

Uesugi Nanryusei remembered that she had forgotten something, that her body was occupied by God.

"She is not invincible, otherwise why would she hide behind your sisters?" said the man in the shadow.

"But so what? She is a god, the god who created the Eight Snake Families." Uesugi Nanryusei buried his head in his knees, decadent and without a trace of strength.

Everyone has a dead child in his or her heart. The child will suddenly appear when the person is at his or her most vulnerable moment and deal a fatal blow to the person who has already suffered a great deal of damage and is fragile.

The dead girl in Uesugi Nanryusei's heart came out at this moment. Although she wanted to say that this was a girl's heart, the girl who yearned for heroes and bloomed like a quiet flower in the small town of Kadori in the mountains was gone.

The man in the shadow asked her, "Are you just going to hide here and wait until your sisters in reality are in danger?"

"Heroes don't exist. In reality, no one will come to help you when you need help the most." She said, "The only person you can rely on is yourself. Kazama Ruri and Eri's bloodlines are higher than mine. I can't help them. I will only hold them back."

"That's not what a sister should say." The person in the shadow said, "Or do you always think that they are a burden to you?"

"No!" Uesugi Nanryusei raised his head and glared at the person in the shadows, then buried his head in his knees casually and weakly. "...You can say whatever you want, I can't help them."

The person in the shadows sighed quietly: "It's like a little girl throwing a tantrum..."

"You said no one helped you?" The man in the shadows walked out and stood in front of Uesugi Nanryusei, "Then have you ever asked anyone for help?"

Uesugi Nanryusei raised his head. The person in front of him was facing away from the light, and his face was still unclear. He could only see a gorgeous mask, just like the masked hero in the animation he remembered.

Uesugi Nanryusei remembered again that before she lost consciousness, the Zero she admired revealed his true appearance in front of her.

The person under the mask was Lu Mingfei, and this discovery shocked Uesugi Nanryu. She was not surprised that Lu Mingfei and Zero were the same person. If you think about it carefully, this seems to be traceable. The two of them entered the sight of the mixed-blood forces not long after each other, and Lu Mingfei also had S-level blood, which was very consistent with the conditions of a super mixed-blood.

What Uesugi Nanryusei couldn't accept was that she discovered it so late.

Although it seems that Izanami has blinded her eyes and prevented her from seeing some things, this behavior of blaming others for all the mistakes always makes her look like she is looking for excuses to shirk her own mistakes.

Uesugi Nanryusei turned his head away and didn't look at Lu Mingfei, even though he was now looking like Zero, the person he admired.

"Let me help you." Lu Mingfei squatted down in front of her, "Go back outside and keep an eye on Wangshunu. She needs you now."

Uesugi Nanryusei turned around and looked at him: "But she is Kazama Ruri."

She hated Fengjian Liuli because she had taken away her sister's body. She was also afraid of Fengjian Liuli because this evil ghost crawling out of hell was created by her.

"She is your sister," Lu Mingfei said. "There is no Kazama Ruri, only Uesugi Wangshu. The more guilty and fearful you feel about her, the happier Izanami will be, because this is more like the old world she is imitating."

"Old world?" Uesugi Nanryusei didn't quite understand what Lu Mingfei was saying.

Lu Mingfei paused and said, "In a certain timeline, you sisters seemed to have killed each other. But this is something no one cares about anymore, so forget it."

Everything he experienced in his dream was changed by Izanami, and it cannot be completely regarded as the history of the old world that has been restarted. It is not wrong to say that it is no longer necessary to care about it.

"Go back." Lu Mingfei helped Uesugi Nanryusheng up. He picked up the knife she dropped, wiped the fake blood off it, and handed it back to her.

He turned around and looked at the corpse that looked like a nightmare to Uesugi Nanryusei: "Your real sister is outside, so it's better not to show up with something that can only scare yourself."

The body lying in the pool of blood disappeared, and Uesugi Nanryusei stood quietly behind Lu Mingfei, staring blankly at the nightmare that had troubled him for more than ten years disappearing.

To be honest, Lu Mingfei's words could not be called enlightenment at all. But she still chose to believe it, because he said that he was here to help her.

Uesugi Nanryusei didn't know why he trusted him so much. It might be Izanami's doing, or it might be because his two sisters' trust in him infected him... Or it might be that he was willing to believe in the hero he once admired.

"Wangshu is outside. You can see her after you wake up." Lu Mingfei said to Uesugi Nanryusei.

Uesugi Nanryusei asked, "Where are you going?"

Lu Mingfei looked at her: "I promised to help you, I'm going to bring Eri back."

Uesugi Nanryusei was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and bowed solemnly to Lu Mingfei: "Mr. Zero...Mr. Lu, I'll leave Eri's clothes to you."

“…I always feel that this is something that Wangshunu should do.” Lu Mingfei smiled as he suddenly showed his spirit of dedication. “Go back. Wangshunu is waiting for you.”

……

Uesugi Nanryusei opened his eyes and met the surprised gaze of Uesugi Wangshu.

Uesugi Wangshu breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, sister, you finally woke up. Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want to rest for a while?"

"...I'm fine." Uesugi Nanryusei rubbed his eyes to relieve the dizziness.

She looked at her sister in front of her. Her pretty face was a little pale, but she didn't look like she was injured and seemed to be in good spirits.

Uesugi Nanryusei hugged his sister: "…I'm sorry, Wangshu."

Lu Mingfei told her that her dislike for Fengjian Liuli and Fengjian Liuli's hatred for her were all caused by Izanami. But wasn't she also afraid of her sister being killed by herself, and her sister killing herself?

Uesugi Wangshu was stunned for a moment, then she hugged her sister's back and said comfortingly: "It's all over, it's all over..."

It would be too simple to think that they could settle a grudge by saying "it's all over". However, they are sisters, the closest relatives, and no matter how big the grudge is, it will be resolved by calling each other "sisters and sisters".

"Where is Eriya?" asked Uesugi Nanryusei. She naturally knew that Uesugi Eriya's consciousness was controlled by Izanami, and Lu Mingfei was about to bring her back.

What she was asking about was Uesugi Eri's body. She had to fulfill her responsibilities as an older sister and protect her sister's body until she regained consciousness.

Uesugi Wangshu paused and was silent for a long time before looking at a corner of the Pantheon: "...They are there."

Uesugi Nanryusei followed her gaze and was also stunned.

The red-haired witch and the boy in windbreaker hugged each other tightly. They were like lovers who met again after a long separation and were reluctant to let each other go. One could only sigh that they were such a pair of people in love.

...if the swords in their hands had not pierced each other's bodies.

……

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes and pushed away the face of the woman who seemed to be about to kiss him. He sat up from the cold water, vomited the water in his stomach, and looked around where he was.

This seemed to be a wine cellar, but it was flooded. The architectural style was familiar, like the Takamagahara Club. He returned to the world in his dream.

He was not the only one in the wine cellar. The wet girls huddled together for warmth, while the gigolos of the Takama-ga-hara Club protected the guests while collecting any supplies that could be used.

"That's great, Sakura, are you okay? I thought you were drowning and wanted to give you artificial respiration." The woman who seemed to want to kiss him just now seemed to be afraid that he would misunderstand, so she explained hurriedly.

Lu Mingfei looked at her silently. He didn't know the guests in Takama-ga-hara Club. He could only barely recognize this pretty woman as a frequent visitor of the Club through her clothes.

Yes, he could see her face clearly. The faces of the guests and the gigolos in the club were no longer covered with mosaics.
