Chapter 249 I Don’t Trust Anyone

Question: What would happen in the spooky underground sewers?
The answer could be anything, but mice are a must.

At this time, Lu Mingfei and the other two were huddled in the corner like mice. The space was very small, and the three of them were crowded together like sardines in a can of sardines, their whole bodies huddled in the darkness, with only three pairs of eyes of different colors cautiously revealed.

Before their eyes, torrential sparks fell from the sky, like fleeting fireworks in the night sky. The largest black shadow was hanging on the top of the tunnel. Dozens of engineers were hanging in the air with slings, busy around the black shadow. The sparks came from the welding guns in their hands.

This is the submersible they are about to use, the Trieste.

It seems that although they have not yet found the Rock Flow Research Institute, they are already close to their goal.

Probably because this big thing couldn't be stuffed indoors, the people from the research institute debugged it outdoors. These staff members were very serious and rigorous, and did not look perfunctory at all, which was completely different from what Lu Mingfei had imagined.

Because according to Chu Zihang and Caesar's speculation, the Japanese branch may have other intentions and deliberately prevent them from diving, so it is reasonable to speculate that the submersible they are about to use may also have been tampered with.

But these people looked so focused on the repairs that it didn't look like they were tampering with anything.

A man who looked less than 30 years old, with a handsome face, wearing old-fashioned tortoise-shell frame glasses, and with neatly combed hair, did not look like a gangster at all, but more like a young college teacher. He was standing next to these maintenance personnel, saying something loudly, as if giving orders.

"What is he saying?"

Caesar asked Lu Mingfei, the only one in their group who could understand a little Japanese, but unfortunately, Lu Mingfei was a complete idiot, he learned the little Japanese he knew from anime, and he had a hard time understanding professional vocabulary.

Lu Mingfei listened attentively for a long time and explained vaguely: "It seems to be asking them to be careful."

"That sounds normal." Caesar raised his eyebrows: "Did we misunderstand?"

"No." Chu Zihang said suddenly.

Facing the two people's gazes, Chu Zihang calmly explained: "Our submersible was transported here after being modified by the equipment department. All its performance has been tested. The Japanese branch only needs to do some simple survey work."

“Yes, isn’t that what they are doing?” Lu Mingfei scratched his head: “It seems that they are doing it very seriously, and they are really thinking about our safety.”

"But the survey work doesn't need to take so long." Chu Zihang interrupted Lu Mingfei. He studied alchemical machinery and was familiar with these science and engineering-related things: "They are indeed doing survey work, but they are doing it repeatedly."

Hearing what he said, Caesar and Lu Mingfei looked over again and saw that they were repeatedly polishing the outer shell of the submersible. They seemed to be working carefully and seriously, but they were actually doing repetitive work.

"These Japanese devils are really cheating!" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened: "They just don't want us to dive!"

"What is the purpose of doing this?" Caesar asked.

"Professor Schneider said that the Japanese branch is very interested in the embryo. They are holding us back perhaps because they want to take action first," said Chu Zihang.

"Damn, this is too despicable." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but be indignant: "I said, how can you send an envoy directly to a brothel?"

He started to unconsciously talk nonsense and complain, and accidentally raised his voice a little louder.

Normally, this sound would not be audible at a distance, but Chu Zihang and Caesar became alert instantly. Both of them reacted very quickly. Chu Zihang directly covered Lu Mingfei's mouth with his hand, and Caesar directly took out the Desert Eagle.

Although the gun was filled with anesthetic bullets, he actually didn't want to fight with the people from the Eight Clans of Sheqi. After all, they still had a peaceful relationship on the surface.

But there was no way. The hearing of mixed-bloods was far superior to that of other people. If there was a mixed-blood among the group of people, Lu Mingfei’s voice would definitely have been heard.

But just as they were hiding in the corner and waiting nervously, there was no movement from outside.

Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Was there not a single mixed-blood among all those people? Not even the young man who was the supervisor?

This luck is really too good, so good that it is a little unbelievable, just like how no one noticed Lu Mingfei coming down the elevator. Could it be that Lu Mingfei is actually a mascot favored by the goddess of luck?

After waiting quietly for a long time again, and seeing that there was indeed nothing unusual outside, Caesar and Chu Zihang hesitated, tilted their heads a little again, and looked outside cautiously.

Then she exchanged a deep look with the young man who was pretending to look at her casually but was actually checking the situation.

Caesar Chu Zihang: "..."

Young man: "..."

There was an eerie silence in the atmosphere for a moment. If they still couldn't react to what had happened, then Caesar and Chu Zihang would have been the two club leaders in vain.

Almost at the same time, Caesar and Chu Zihang rushed out together. Their movements were as agile as cheetahs. Although they were strong rivals, they cooperated very well. They worked together tacitly and before Lu Mingfei could react, they had already rushed over like a gust of wind, aiming directly at the young man.

They came too suddenly. Even though these researchers, including the young man, were mixed-race, their spirit words were obviously not of the offensive type and their reactions were very slow.

The young man reacted faster and showed some skills, but he was quickly subdued by the swift, fierce and accurate joint attack of Caesar and Chu Zihang.

By the time Lu Mingfei finally reacted and was shocked at why his fellow brothers had rushed out, Caesar and Chu Zihang had already captured the leader of the group.

The researchers were in a panic, and more people ran over from a distance, but they didn't dare to get close because Chu Zihang held the Murasame against the man's throat, and Caesar next to him was spinning two Desert Eagles in his hands.

"Let's talk?" Caesar looked at these people and smiled, "I think you should give us and Kassel College an explanation."

Seeing this, Yuan Zhisheng in the office took off his headphones, turned around and walked into the elevator. His black windbreaker made rustling sounds with his movements, and the man had a blank expression on his face.

He originally wanted to wait for Gen Chikōnō to come back before dealing with the three specialists sent by the headquarters, because the current relationship between the Japanese branch and Kassel College is very delicate, and almost everyone obeys Gen Chikōnō's arrangements.

It can even be said that if Genjitsu had not felt that Kassel Academy was still useful, the Japanese branch would have changed its name long ago.

And even though the relationship between the two sides is now more delicate, Gen Chisei does not want to disrupt Gen Chinu's arrangements because of himself, so even if he discovered the invasion of these three people at the first time, the order he issued was for everyone to pretend not to see it.

He wanted to wait until Genjitsu came back before making a decision, but these three were obviously not the kind of people who would keep quiet. They could sneak in and make such a big fuss, forcing him to go and deal with it.

Seeing him appear so quickly, Caesar showed an understanding expression: "Sure enough, you have already noticed us, Yuanjun."

Yuan Zhisheng took a deep breath and said in a calm tone, "Calm down and let go of the head of the Miyamoto family."

All three of them were a little surprised. They could catch the head of the family by just grabbing someone randomly. What kind of luck was that?
"Tell me your purpose." Chu Zihang said, "Why do you want to delay our dive?"

Lu Mingfei looked left and right, feeling the situation tense. He hid behind his two brothers and said, "That's right. I knew you were up to no good in the underworld!"

Yuan Zhisheng really had a headache when he saw this. Not to mention that it was impossible for him to tell the purpose, the fact was that he couldn't say it at all.

Before returning to Japan, Gen Chikyou had been setting up a big chess game. He knew some things, but not others, so many times he was not clear about what Gen Chikyou was trying to do.

He just wanted to appease these people first, but no matter what he said, the three of them didn't seem to believe him.

"I want to see Fengjian Liuli." Caesar interrupted his explanation and said directly: "Ask Fengjian Liuli to come out to see us."

Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei did not speak at this time, obviously agreeing with Caesar's words.

They have been kept in the dark ever since they came to Japan. Now that they have finally uncovered a glimpse of the truth, they really need an explanation.

The entire Japanese branch can be full of assholes, but they have to know what position their partners, their friends, and Kazama Ruri hold in it.

But Yuan Zhisheng was unable to hand over the person and remained silent. However, his attitude seemed particularly meaningful in the eyes of Lu Mingfei and the other two.

"Okay, you won't talk, right?" Caesar removed the anesthetic bullet from the gun chamber in front of Yuan Zhisheng, replaced it with deadly live bullets, and then pointed it directly at the head of the head of the Miyamoto family.

"Either, ask Feng Jianli to tell us the truth, or I will kill him."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point. Everyone fell silent and you could hear a pin drop in the entire tunnel.

But all this had no effect on Caesar. He started counting down directly: "I'll count to three."

"Three." "Two."

However, just as Caesar was about to say the final number and Yuan Zhisheng was about to use the Word Spirit to subdue them first... a faint female voice sounded.

"Are you dissatisfied with our hospitality? That's why you're so angry?"

The source girl, also wearing a black windbreaker, slowly walked out of the darkness. The moment she appeared, all the researchers and the men in black clothes and weapons in the passage bowed deeply: "Young Master."

However, Yuan Zhinv didn't even look at them and walked straight through the passage blocked by dense infrared lasers.

If the Yuanzhi Lifeforms had not shut down the alarm system, Lu Mingfei and the other three would probably have been surrounded by shrill sirens the moment they entered the passage, and would not have been able to find the location of the Yanliu Research Institute at all.

The so-called good luck is nothing more than someone letting the water flow.

The moment Lu Mingfei saw Yuan Zhinu, his eyes lit up and he subconsciously wanted to call her "senior sister", but was stopped by Caesar with a stern look.

Lu Mingfei then realized that the atmosphere was not right. The most obvious manifestation was that Chu Zihang, who also had a good relationship with Yuan Zhinu, said nothing and just watched her approach in silence.

"Don't you want to see me?" Yuan Zhinv walked up to Yuan Zhisheng and asked casually, "Now that you have seen me, are you satisfied?"

Only when they stand together can you see the similarities between the two more intuitively. The contours of their facial features are almost identical, and at first glance they look like they were carved from the same mold.

But it's only at first glance.

If you look further, you will find that the girl's outline is softer, as if a rough outline has been fine-tuned. Coupled with her extremely eye-catching silver hair and red eyes, as well as the two people's completely different temperaments, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to mistake them.

Caesar's eyes swept across the calm face of Yuan Zhinv and frowned: "Why are you stopping us from diving?"

"Who stopped you?" Yuan Zhinv asked back: "I told you at the beginning that I was just checking a few more times for your lives."

"It's just a routine check, why does it take so much time?" Chu Zihang said.

"Because the equipment department refused to send anyone to assist in debugging, it took a little longer." Yuan Zhinv said calmly, as if this was the fact and there was no need to argue.

Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other, and Caesar said, "You mean it's all the Equipment Department's fault?"

Yuan Zhinv showed a puzzled look, as if she didn't understand why Caesar asked such a question, and asked confidently: "What else?"

Silence, dead silence.

Caesar could say nothing except silence.

Finally, it was Minamoto Chikōjo who spoke up: "However, although those guys in the Equipment Department are unwilling to come to Japan, our Ganryu Research Institute will not mind this little difficulty."

"It took a little time, but we are almost ready to go into the water. When do you want to dive?"

These words came out so suddenly that not only Lu Mingfei and the other two were stunned, but even Yuan Zhisheng beside her was stunned for a moment. However, the girl's expression seemed so natural, at least there was no sign of guilt for lying.

Caesar was at a loss for a rare moment. He asked tentatively, "Tonight?"

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare it now." Yuan Zhinv said calmly, "But are you sure you don't want to choose an auspicious day? It's not as easy as you think there. You might not be able to come back if you're not careful."

These words were spoken lightly, but for some reason, Lu Mingfei suddenly shuddered and had a bad feeling in his heart.

But before he could open his mouth, Caesar said, as if he was afraid that they would go back on their word, "Okay, I'll go tell Schneider right now."

Yuan Zhinv shrugged: "Whatever you want."

After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about the poor family head who had a knife on his neck and a gun on his head.

Yuan Zhisheng hesitated for a moment, but still followed him. The girl walked directly into a remote corner where no one was around. When she saw Yuan Zhisheng coming over, she asked straight to the point, "Are you injured?"

It was not a question but an affirmative sentence. There was no ups and downs in the girl's tone. It seemed like a casual question, but Yuan Zhisheng still heard some dissatisfaction.

"It's okay." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head: "It's just a minor injury, it's almost healed."

"Norton did it?"

"Not really." Yuan Zhisheng was a little embarrassed, but still told the situation truthfully.

After hearing this, Yuan Zhinv fell silent. She felt that Norton really could not be blamed for this, and even felt that Norton's good temper was a little abnormal.

When did this tyrant become so easy to talk to?
"When did you come back?" Yuan Zhisheng asked. He looked at the girl in front of him and for some reason, he felt that she seemed to have changed a little.

But he couldn't tell what had changed. The girl had clearly only been gone for less than 24 hours, so how much could she have changed?

It must be an illusion, he thought.

"Just came back." Yuan Zhinu said casually, her tone was as nonchalant as if she had just come back from a trip. You couldn't tell at all that she had just been on a trip to the abyss free diving.

"What's the situation?" Yuan Zhisheng asked again.

"We have achieved half of our goal." Yuan Zhinv said, "The holy bones are missing. I don't know if they sneaked away to the well of bones when I wasn't paying attention, but we have found the embryo."

Yuan Zhisheng's pupils suddenly constricted. Even though he knew that Yuan Zhinu would not fail, he still couldn't help being shocked when he heard the news.

"Where's the embryo?" he asked. "Are you okay?"

"No." Yuan Zhinv answered, thought for a moment, and pointed to her belly: "As for the embryo, it should be here."

"I think I ate it accidentally."

Yuan Zhisheng: "..."

Yuan Zhisheng's expression was one of disbelief for a moment.

Look at the nonchalant tone, as if he was saying that he accidentally ate some snacks.

But who eats the Dragon King as a snack?
After a long while, Yuan Zhisheng finally found his voice and said with difficulty: "What's going on?"

Yuan Zhinu also wanted to discuss things with him, so she told him the general situation under the water, and finally asked him: "Who do you think is deceiving me?"

Yuan Zhisheng's mind went blank, and he couldn't come back to his senses from the narrative style of "A shameless devil who claims to be the Supreme awakened the King of Ocean and Water, but it doesn't matter, I killed the King of Water, but accidentally ate him in the end, and my bloodline seems to have evolved again."

It was not until Yuan Zhinv repeated the question again that he raised his head blankly, looked into the girl's clear and innocent eyes, and answered seriously: "Is there a possibility that they are all lying to you?"

"I feel the same way, actually." Yuan Zhinv thought, "So I don't trust any of them."

"But speaking of which, do you think I am the White King?"

This time, Yuan Zhisheng answered decisively and shook his head directly: "I don't think so."

"Why?" Yuan Zhinv was immediately curious: "Did you find any details that I didn't notice?"

Yuan Zhisheng nodded slowly, facing the pair of red eyes that were obviously bloody and terrifying, but also revealed clear and stupidity, and said seriously: "Legend has it that the White King is the god of wisdom."

Yuan Zhinu blinked, a little confused: "So?"

"So I guess you're not."

Yuan Zhinv: “?”
