Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 389 Parallel World
Lu Mingfei had never felt the reality of the world as he did now, just like a person who had been nearsighted for many years put on glasses, and the world suddenly became clear, his vision, hearing and even sense of smell were awakened.

He heard the sound of some creature grinding its teeth outside the small wine cellar, the stench that was about to overflow in the damp and cold air, and the traces of blood floating in the water that was above his knees. All of these made him frown.

There should be no Deadpool in the Takamagahara Club. What exactly happened here during the time when he "returned" to reality?

"What happened? What else could have happened in Japan besides tsunamis and earthquakes?" someone said to him indifferently. Lu Mingfei looked over and saw a guest of the Takama-ga-hara Club, an equally beautiful girl.

He remembered that this was a frequent customer of the Golden Hair, her name was Aoki Chinatsu, and she was said to be a very popular singer. However, it was hard to understand why such a girl with a strong background, appearance and figure was hanging around in a gigolo club.

The person who just tried to give Lu Mingfei artificial respiration was also Nakajima Sanae, a famous designer who could refuse any job request from the Snake Eight Clan.

But when I think about it, their target is noblemen like those with expressionless face and golden hair, it suddenly becomes understandable.

There was also a noble lady in the crowd bandaging the wounds of the injured guests. She looked quite old, but she was elegant and gave people a sense of being very capable. In fact, this was true. Her name was Mori Takako, the mistress of the famous Mori family in Japan.

She looked at Lu Mingfei with a fiery gaze. On the night of Lu Mingfei's debut, he was pushed onto the stage by the golden-haired man without warning. She was the first one to scream and the first one to throw her stockings.

If it wasn't for Sanae Nakajima who was closest to him, then it might have been her who was anxious to give him artificial respiration. Lu Mingfei almost forgot that he was also one of Takamagahara's top gigolos.

"Chu...Where are Ukyo Tachibana and Basara King?" Lu Mingfei asked. These two are the stage names of Face Paralysis and Golden Hair respectively. After all, who would dare to use their real name in this place?

"They went outside to confront the gangsters! And then they were washed away by the flood!" Aoki Chinatsu answered with some gritted teeth. She hadn't been able to talk to Golden Retriever all night, and the latter's life or death was still unknown. This made her, who was so proud and arrogant, very uncomfortable.

Lu Mingfei rubbed his brows. As far as he could remember, they had indeed confronted the Snake Eight Clan's team outside the Takamagahara Club. Then, Uesugi Eriya... no, Izanami appeared.

The earthquake, floods, and those deadpools wandering outside the room are definitely related to Izanami.

Lu Mingfei felt a bit of a headache. A powerful enemy was not scary, but an enemy like Izanami, whose consciousness could be transferred back and forth among several backup bodies, was definitely a problem.

...But the trouble she brought ended here, Lu Mingfei had already cut off the way back to the other world. He wanted to get rid of Izanami once and for all here.

The door of the wine cellar opened, and the gigolos who had gone out to investigate the surroundings must have returned. The bald leader had an unpleasant look on his face until he saw Lu Mingfei wake up, and then he suddenly became surprised.

"That's great! Sakura!" The bald man hugged Lu Mingfei and cried as if he had found his lost father. "If you really die here, the boss lady and the others will kill me!"

Lu Mingfei pushed the bald man away in disgust. The guy's snot and tears were all on him after he wiped them. This guy was called Humpback Whale, and he was the manager of the Takamagahara Club. He was not good-looking, and it was hard to believe that he was a once-popular gigolo.

"What's the situation outside?" Lu Mingfei asked him with a confused look on his face after waking up.

The humpback whale suddenly became serious. He bowed solemnly to the guests and said, "Dear ladies, the situation seems to be getting better. The water level is dropping. There is a rescue boat from the Metropolitan Police Department on its way..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Mingfei took him aside.

"You're quite good at lying, but next time before you lie, check if there's anything following you." Lu Mingfei pulled the head of Deadpool, who had sneaked into the water with the humpback whale, out of the water, twisted its neck in front of the latter's pale face, and stuffed it back into the water.

"Tell me, where are they?" Lu Mingfei was asking Jiude Mai and the others. When Jörmungandr attacked, except for Renata who was with him, the other two stayed in the Takama-ga-hara Club.

The situation is chaotic now, and Lu Mingfei has to find them to find out what is happening outside.

“What the boss lady said is right…” The humpback whale’s eyes were dull at first, and then he looked at Lu Mingfei with extremely fiery eyes, “Sakura! You are the light, you are the electricity, you are the only savior!”

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but tap him on the bald head: "Answer me."

"The boss lady and the others should be up there." The humpback whale glanced cautiously into the water, "Fighting with these monsters!"

Lu Mingfei nodded: "I understand."

"Sakura, are you waiting for an opportunity? Tell me, how can I cooperate with you?" Humpback Whale said carefully, "The brothers in the store can also be used. Even though they are wearing less and less, they are all very tough!"

Lu Mingfei glanced at him and said, "Forget it. If you go up there, it's no different from sliding. If those guys are full, it will be troublesome."

"I understand." Although the humpback whale didn't understand what sliding meant, it understood that it meant they could only hold back.

"Take this with you." Humpback Whale quietly stuffed a gun into Lu Mingfei's hand. It was not easy to get this thing in a gigolo parlor, but it was said that he had been in the Self-Defense Forces before he became a gigolo, so this was understandable.

Lu Mingfei took a look at it and stuffed it back: "Keep it for yourself."

He went back to the place where Nakajima Sanae had pulled him out of the water and fumbled around. Soon, he pulled out a knife. Senbonzakura, the sword of Uesugi Erie, was washed here by the flood just like him.

Lu Mingfei turned around and saw the guests who were all surprised. He shrugged and said, "Don't look at me like that. A man always has to use one identity to cover up another."

He walked to the door of the wine cellar and patted Humpback on the shoulder: "Don't go out until someone comes to find you."

"But...what if those things come in?" The humpback whale said in a low voice, and subconsciously glanced at the place where Lu Mingfei had just stood. There was a monster corpse lying underneath.

If a red cowboy takes out a knife and talks like a samurai about going to the battlefield, it would make people yearn for it. Then an ugly monster corpse would only bring panic.

Humpback Whale knew that Lu Mingfei also understood this, so he only told him about Deadpool sneaking in, and also told him to remember to dispose of the body later. However, these monsters are everywhere outside.

"Don't worry." Lu Mingfei said to him, and opened the door and went out, "Because I'm here."

…At least the humpback whale was not lying about one thing: the tide was really receding.

Lu Mingfei washed the blood off the blade of Senbonzakura in the water. The Deadpools around the wine cellar had been cleared out by him. The Deadpools still wandering around also understood that this place that was constantly emitting a foul and bloody smell was not to be entered.

Lu Mingfei returned to the main hall of Takama-ga-hara Club. The once magnificent place was now in a mess, with Deadpool's body lying under the broken chair.

Jiude Mai leaned on the sofa with missing legs, drinking a glass of red wine, looking very charming... well, not very charming, she was very tired now. There were too many deadpools coming out of the water, and only a small part of them slipped into the wine cellar corridor. Most of them were stopped by her.

The Deadpools were still pouring out until Lu Mingfei woke up and came out of the corridor smelling of Deadpool's blood, and then they were scared away.

"...Don't you plan to comfort the hard-working employees?" Jiude Mai tilted her head and looked at him drunkenly.

Normally, even if she drank, she would not dare to tease her boss. But today, for some reason, she felt that a certain highlight of hers was gone, and she was upset and used a rough method to deal with Deadpool, and then she inexplicably wanted to drink some wine.

Lu Mingfei glanced at her silently: "This is not the way you treat your boss."

It was hard for him to imagine what kind of relationship he had in the old world with these girls who called themselves employees.

"But no matter how loyal an employee is, he will feel bad after being neglected for so long." Jude Mai said lazily. The behind-the-scenes boss of the Takama-ga-hara Club, the invisible ninja in the dark, is now like a little girl surrounded by layers of resentment.

Lu Mingfei glanced at her, walked over, lifted her delicate chin, and kissed her red lips that smelled of wine.

He raised his head and wiped off the lipstick and wine stains on his mouth: "Are you satisfied now?"

Jiude Mai was completely stunned, her eyes were a little dazed and she couldn't speak. It was not just the alcohol that made her dizzy. Although she was very unhappy about losing the highlight that she didn't know what it was, the feeling of suddenly getting something made her stunned for a long time.

"...Although I'm happy if you do that." Jiude Mai came back to her senses and said a little embarrassedly, "But this is not the time to do this."

"Mai?" Lu Mingfei looked at Jiude Mai whose expression gradually became strange, or rather, the Jiude Mai on his side.

"It's me." Jiude Mai looked calm, as if the kiss just now didn't bring her any emotional fluctuations. "Renata thought you needed help, so she synchronized me with you here."

Lu Mingfei held his forehead weakly: "When did it sync?"

Renata had synchronized her consciousness with that of herself here before. Last time, she sent Chen Motong over here, and now she can naturally send Jiude Mai over as well.

Jiude Mai tilted her head and looked at him: "When you kiss me, don't worry, what I went through, I went through the same thing here, and she will be happy that you did that."

"Okay." Lu Mingfei turned the page, "Tell me about the situation outside."

"Wait a minute, I'm a little dizzy from the memory synchronization." Jiude Mai pressed both sides of her head and thought for a while, "Sanwu here is under mental attack and is now being led to a safe place by Potato Chips... By the way, is there any safe place here?"

"Go on." Lu Mingfei, who was a little thirsty, picked up the cup that Jiude Mai put down and took a sip. The spicy wine made him cough uncontrollably.

Jude Mai glanced at him and said naturally, "Chu... Ukyo and Basara originally wanted to stay here to look for you, but they were called back by the Cassel branch. A powerful army of deadpools is landing in Tokyo, led by an ancient corpse with a title."

“Just say their names.” Lu Mingfei found some drinking water, opened it and took a sip. “I already know about the existence of the old world.”

"Okay." Jiude Mai explained, "We didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just... we haven't figured out how to explain it to you."

"I see." Lu Mingfei nodded, "Where are the Genji brothers? Did they also go to stop Deadpool?"

Jiude Mai was stunned for a moment, and said in a strange tone: "They are nowhere to be found, it seems that... they went berserk?"

There was a deviation in the memory. In the old world, the two brothers who should have been fighting each other under the Red Well at this moment, actually went berserk together after the reconciliation?

"Really...it must be Izanami's trick." Lu Mingfei didn't find it strange. If Izanami could control the Uesugi sisters, then it was not surprising that the Genji brothers were controlled by her.

"Can you find Eri's location?" Lu Mingfei asked Jude Mai, who was frowning and seemed to be thinking about something.

Jiude Mai shook her head: "No, in the old world, she should be in Hongjing now, and Herzog is there too. But now Herzog is dead, and no one cares about Hongjing anymore... The memories I have are useless here."

"Don't think about it if you can't figure it out." Lu Mingfei comforted her, "I think I already know where Eri is."

However, his comfort did not make Jiude Mai feel any better. She said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, I wanted to help you..."

"Why should I apologize? Aren't you helping me now?" Lu Mingfei said softly, "Meeting someone I know in a strange world is the greatest help to me."

"A strange world..." Jiude Mai was a little surprised, "But, isn't this a dream?"

Lu Mingfei walked to the window and looked at the stormy Tokyo outside in the cold wind: "At first, I thought so too. But Izanami spent so much effort just to build a dream for me that was the opposite of reality. It's not a waste of effort like this."

"Renata was just misled by my guess. This is not a dream." Lu Mingfei said softly, looking at the dark sky outside with a deep gaze.

He said softly, "This is a parallel world. Izanami's ultimate goal is just to escape from our world. Nothing is more suitable as her destination than a world that is the same as ours, but it is not the same, and it has an endless future."
