Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

Genji Heavy Industries, in the interrogation room.

Watching Lu Mingfei draw out the long sword with a faint yellow glow, Tachibana Masamune forced his facial features to tense.

He really couldn't understand what the point of Lu Mingfei drawing the sword was now. Whether he wanted to kill him or scare him again, he didn't need a sword.

And why did this sword... glow? Was it some kind of alchemical weapon?

Just as Tachibana Masamune's mind was turning over a few thoughts at a rapid speed, a yellow light flashed in front of his eyes, and he saw that the sword in Lu Mingfei's hand had pierced straight into his heart.

But Tachibana Masamune didn't feel any pain, he just felt his eyes go black and he lost consciousness.

Looking at Tachibana Masamune with empty eyes, Lu Mingfei held the Silver Oak Sword and squinted slightly.

He was using the power of the Silver Oak Sword to explore Tachibana Masamune's mind.

He had noticed before that there were three personalities in Tachibana Masamune, one bright and two dark, but because he had not learned spiritual magic, it was difficult to detect directly. Now, using the power of the soul gem in the Silver Oak Sword, it was basically equivalent to giving Tachibana Masamune a spiritual X-ray scan.

"Let me see how many faces you have!" Lu Mingfei held the Silver Oak Sword and closed his eyes slightly.

He immediately showed a surprised expression.

Although it is not very common for people, or intelligent life, to have hidden personalities in the dark, it is by no means a rare event of the level of rare feathers and unicorn horns. Just like everyone has some unhealthy places in psychology, this kind of situation of having hidden personalities in the dark is nothing more than a person's subconscious struggle for some reason and then splitting out a certain personality prototype.

To put it more bluntly, this is a precursor to schizophrenia, but it is still a long way from real schizophrenia. If schizophrenia is likened to "being seriously ill", then Tachibana Masamune's situation is at most "a little malnourished".

This level of personality prototype will hardly affect the main personality - for example, Lu Mingfei has long suspected that the principal, who has a flame of hatred burning deep in his heart, actually has two personalities, one bright and one dark. The bright personality is an iron-blooded dragon slayer, and the secondary personality is a revengeful evil spirit. The former can give everything he has to slay the dragon but will never do something that is completely beyond the moral bottom line, while the latter does not mind any price as long as he can destroy the dragon clan, even if it means that all humans and the dragon clan will perish together.

There is no doubt that the principal's dark personality is completely overwhelmed by the bright personality, and it is not even a personality prototype. Although the hatred is still there, it will not really affect the main personality.

It is similar to the situation of Tachibana Masamune. The dark personality cannot affect the bright personality, but what Lu Mingfei did not expect is that this personality of Tachibana Masamune is hidden in the dark side!

Or to put it another way, "Tachibana Masamune" is actually played by the main personality of this body. Because the role has been played for too long and is very lifelike, the personality prototype of "Tachibana Masamune" has gradually split out in the depths of his heart.

In other words, the old man in front of him first fabricated a fake identity of "Tachibana Masamune", and then played the role for decades. In the end, because he was too immersed in the role, he created a prototype of the personality of "Tachibana Masamune".

However, it is not quite accurate to say that he is immersed in the role. It is an understatement to say that a person can play a certain role for decades, but is only affected to this extent.

A person with this level of willpower is either an outstanding leader or a warrior, or a peerless conspirator.

"Tachibana Masamune" is undoubtedly the latter.

Lu Mingfei frowned slightly.

Although he knew that Tachibana Masamune was a disguised identity, he was confused about the origin of this person's main personality, or his true identity.

Although the power of the soul gem in the Silver Oak Sword is strong, it is not strong enough to read the mind directly. Otherwise, he would not have needed to lie on Xia Mi before. He could have directly used the sword to read her mind and naturally knew everything.

Before, he was able to sneak into Norton's memory under the superposition of multiple factors. The most important part was the seal with the power borrowed from the Ancient One, and Norton himself was in a state of amnesia.

However, the power of the "Tachibana Masamune" in front of him was far less than that of Norton. Even if he had not lost his memory, as long as he could seal his memory like the Ancient One, he could also search in like checking Norton's memory fragments.

However... I'm afraid he will have to wait until he goes back to ask the Ancient One to borrow a little bit of power.

This is also unavoidable. After learning the knowledge of the Supreme Mage, he can easily use the magic of sealing memory, but the usury magic of Kamar-Taj requires borrowing power, and knowledge alone is useless.

Fortunately, the Ancient One is a generous senior. She will definitely not mind if he asks her to borrow a little power.

And the next time he goes to Tony's world, in addition to borrowing power from the Ancient One, he has another more important thing-to find Tony to learn the formula of the bloodline locking agent.

According to Gen Chisei, Eri's bloodline locking agent will only last for two months, and she will be in danger after two months.

Tony has been researching a bloodline locking agent that can completely offset the side effects of dragon blood. Although it is still a little far from his goal of "perfectly eliminating all the side effects of dragon blood on humans and not affecting the power of dragon blood", it is only a matter of a day or two for him and Tony to modify a locking agent that can "prevent hybrids from being affected by bloodline defects".

The reason why Lu Mingfei has not used the locking agent on Senior Brother Chu, who is on the verge of losing control of his bloodline due to violent blood, is to wait for the most perfect version and get it done in one step.

But in Eri's case, it is obviously more important to solve the life-threatening danger caused by the bloodline defect first.

However, there is no rush to go to Tony's world. He is more curious about the problem at hand-there are three personalities in Tachibana Masamune's body, one bright personality and two dark personalities. The bright personality is his main personality, and the dark personality is born from his fake identity for decades. What about the other dark personality?

In the end, this dark personality is quite strange under the exploration of the Silver Oak Sword. After repeated observations, Lu Mingfei made a bold guess.

This dark personality may not be spontaneously split like Tachibana Masamune's dark personality, but was born under the influence of some external force.

Because its existence is full of disharmony, but there is always a tendency to affect or even "attack" the main personality at any time-although the main personality certainly does not feel it.

Moreover, this dark personality influenced by external forces was born earlier than the dark personality of Tachibana Masamune, at least ten years earlier, or even longer. In other words, before the person in front of him disguised himself as Tachibana Masamune, he had already been planted with this influence.

These characteristics made Lu Mingfei have to guess that the unknown conspirator in front of him was just a mantis catching cicadas, and there might be a yellow bird hidden deeper behind the mantis.

Touching his chin and thinking for a moment, Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up.

He thought of a way-although it is difficult to directly control other people's minds, if there is an "inside response" deep in someone's personality, the difficulty will be greatly reduced if it is directly coordinated at the subjective level.

Of course, he did not expect the main personality of this conspirator to cooperate with him. But... Tachibana Masamune's dark personality may be used.

In the final analysis, this person disguised himself as a member of the inner three families and ruled the eight families of Snake Qi for decades. He certainly did not have any good intentions towards the eight families of Snake Qi-at least if there really was a patriarch Tachibana Masamune in the world, he would definitely not like this main personality.

In this case, it is not difficult to make the dark personality of Tachibana Masamune cooperate with him.

And what Lu Mingfei has to do is to use the power of the soul gem in the Silver Oak Sword to influence the "fake Tachibana Masamune" in front of him, so that the dark personality of the "real Tachibana Masamune" in his body will gradually grow and become independent.

This process will not take a few days, and there is no need to insert the sword like this every time, just chatting face to face is enough.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei pulled out the Silver Oak Sword.

Tachibana Masamune's empty eyes refocused, and he jumped up in fear: "Ah!"

"What's your name?" Lu Mingfei held the Silver Oak Sword upside down, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Your sword, I..." Tachibana Masamune touched his chest, where there was no wound.

He took a deep breath, slowly calmed down, and breathed a sigh of relief-perhaps the momentum and mental oppression on Lu Mingfei's body just now were too strong, which made him have the illusion of being pierced through the chest by a sharp sword, and even a little absent-minded.

This kind of case is not rare, but it only occurs in one situation - when a hybrid with inferior bloodline faces the golden eyes of a very high-level dragon in battle, it often falls into the illusion of being killed.

But it is unheard of for a hybrid to have a similar effect on another hybrid.

"Sorry, Mr. Lu." Tachibana Masamune bowed and sat down again, "Please continue, my family and I will do our best to cooperate with you."

First stabilize this guy, and the rest will be dealt with later. It doesn't matter if the interests of the entire Snake Qi Eight Clan are betrayed. Anyway, whether it is the Snake Qi Eight Clan or the Fierce Ghost Clan, they are just tools.

But what surprised Tachibana Masamune was that Lu Mingfei was quite kind during the entire interrogation process, and it was more like a chat than an interrogation. In addition to asking the Snake Qi Eight Clan to give up some independence and obey the command of the academy, no other conditions were put forward.

Even the culprit who raised Deadpool, Lu Mingfei said that he could "check it slowly."

It made Tachibana Masamune a little confused.

But he understood after a second thought. Lu Mingfei used the matter of raising Deadpool to make trouble just to make the Eight Snakes a subordinate department of the academy again. As long as this goal can be achieved, nothing else should matter.

The only thing that made Tachibana Masamune confused was that Lu Mingfei asked if he could talk to him about the Japanese hybrids every day these days. It was not limited to the content, but just a casual chat. Through this way of chatting between the acting principal of the academy and the head of the Eight Snakes, the relationship between the academy and the Eight Snakes was brought closer.

Tachibana Masamune didn't want to face Lu Mingfei every day. At first, he suggested that Sakurai Nanami chat with Lu Mingfei on his behalf - chatting with a beautiful young woman is better than drinking tea with an old man like him, right?

But Lu Mingfei flatly refused, and Tachibana Masamune had to agree to chat with Lu Mingfei every day about the history of Japanese hybrids.

Anyway, as long as he didn't mention the ancient history of the White King, there would be no problem. "Tachibana Masamune" thought.

...

A week later, outside the Awakening Temple.

When Yuan Zhisheng passed by the Awakening Temple, he glanced at the red mottled Torii, shook his head and left.

This week, Lu Mingfei spent a lot of time drinking tea with his father every day, and he could even often hear the two of them talking and laughing. They looked like close friends who got along well with each other, which made people wonder if the fight in the Iron Dome Temple a week ago was just a dream.

Chu Zihang and Xia Mi walked over. Yuan Zhisheng looked at the sweet and lovely girl next to Chu Zihang and subconsciously took half a step back.

"Hi, Brother Yuan." Xia Mi smiled carelessly and waved to say hello to Yuan Zhisheng, "Brother and I are going to the archives to check something. Can you help lead the way?"

After the battle in the Iron Dome Temple, the eight Sheqi families lost their temper in front of Lu Mingfei and the others. Even the precious archives were completely open to them, and Xia Mi... seemed to regard those top-secret information as some kind of I read recreational books such as adventure novels and read them with gusto every day, and even took Chu Zihang with me.

Yuan Zhisheng sighed: "You two, let's go, I will lead the way."

…

Inside Xingshen Temple.

Lu Mingfei sat casually on the tatami, and Tachibana Masamune knelt in front of Lu Mingfei, his eyes empty.

After a week of subtle influence and interference, he finally allowed the dark personality "Tachibana Masamune" to grow stronger. At least when he suppressed the main personality, the dark personality Tachibana Masamune could finally control this body.

This means that this "Tachibana Masamune" has completely grown into a complete personality. The conspirator with unknown origins in front of him has successfully become a severe schizophrenia patient under the guidance of Lu Mingfei.

Tachibana Masamune's empty eyes slowly closed, and when he opened them again, they were filled with many complicated thoughts.

He is a new personality, but he is also an old man with decades of experience, who has led the Sheqi family through great storms.

He stared at Lu Mingfei: "I... you... who are you?"

Lu Mingfei shrugged.

Seeing that Lu Mingfei didn't answer, "Orange Masamune" didn't ask further questions and asked a new question: "Then who am I?"

"You can be the owner of this body, or you can be the head of the eight Sheqi families." Lu Mingfei said with a smile.

"I'm just a fake..." "Tachibana Masamune" shook his head.

"There is only one head of the eight Sheqi families, and that is Tachibana Masamune." Lu Mingfei said with profound meaning.

Tachibana Masamune was silent for a moment and nodded: "I was created by you?"

"It can only be regarded as guided." Lu Mingfei said.

"I can probably guess a little bit about what you want. I was separated from the owner of this body and have a limited understanding of him," Tachibana Masamune said, "The owner of this body, his real name is Herzog Ge, a former Soviet man who had plastic surgery to look like a Japanese.”

"Do you know his purpose?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"He hides this part very deeply. I can only know what he has thought about with his identity and way of thinking as 'Tachibana Masamune'," Tachibana Masamune said, "So I can only confirm that his purpose is related to the White King. And he is also the leader of the eight Sheqi families and the Menggui clan."

Lu Mingfei nodded. Herzog's target was the White King, which did not surprise him. He also controlled the Fierce Ghosts. Lu Mingfei was a little surprised, but the Fierce Ghosts themselves were not that big. Something worth noting.

"In addition, when he was still Herzog, he seemed to have some very important memories, but because they were 'Herzog's' memories, I could only get some extremely fragmented information, and I could only sort it out. Say three words, "Tachibana Masamune said, "Northern Siberia, Black Swan Port, and Number Zero."

Black Swan Port...Zero...

Lu Mingfei reached out and rubbed his temples.

He didn't know why, but the moment he heard these two words, he felt a sudden jump in the back of his mind.

"What do you feel about the other dark personality in this body?" Lu Mingfei suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and continued to ask.

As a part of the personality in this body, Tachibana Masamune must have more detailed feelings about the other dark personality than he does, because when guiding Tachibana Masamune's dark personality to grow, another dark personality touched Tachibana Masamune's dark personality and tried to attack. ——But it was immediately suppressed by the power of the Mind Stone.

"I... I seemed to 'touch' it as I was growing... But I had almost no impression. I only remembered that I saw a golden one-eye in a blurry moment, and a magnificent and irresistible will... …”

Tachibana Masamune frowned.
