Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 274 Lu Lincheng

They stared at each other for a while, then Lu Mingfei sighed and made a phone call.

"Yes, it's me. Can you do it?"

Lu Mingfei spoke a few words to the person on the other end of the phone, then nodded and put down his phone.

Xia Mi watched all of this unfold quietly, a look of confusion on her face.

Who?
In this situation, is there anyone who can help Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi?

Xia Mi listened to Lu Mingfei on the phone. At first, she didn't quite understand, but after going through the people Lu Mingfei knew, a face suddenly popped into her mind.

But before she could ask any more questions—

【ding dong】

Lu Mingfei's text message received a response very quickly.

A red route, the standard is there.

So fast!

What's going on?! Who did you send it to?! Is it Xiaoyuan Search?!

"."

Just kidding, Xia Mi actually already guessed who "that person" was.

but.
Is he really capable of answering?
That.
Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi exchanged a glance, but neither of them delved deeper into the topic.

"Wait, just in case."

Xia Mi also sent a text message to her own phone.

Then, the two of them remained silent, simply mounted their snowmobiles, and began riding along that route.

In this white world, the wind whipped at their faces, and the falling snowflakes stung, exploding into white mist as they hit their wool coats. The closer they got to the end of the route, the stronger the resistance became, until the two people traveling side by side could barely see each other, and even breathing became difficult.

【The Eye of the Wind King】

Lu Mingfei lowered his body, and the Eye of the Wind King enveloped his body, making him cosplay as King Arthur once again.

The cone-shaped object pierced through the air resistance, tore through the snow and dust, and produced a sharp, jarring sound.

As the melody gradually builds up and then becomes sharp—

We've entered.

The world suddenly became clear.

The white world was replaced by a bright light.

【——————】

"Whoa!"

Xia Mi shook the snow off her head, looked up at the sky, and exclaimed in admiration the moment she saw the scenery.

A heavy, obsidian-colored gate stood overhead, the sky an unnatural black with eerie blue-green bands of light.

That's the hem of the goddess's skirt in Norse mythology, a natural phenomenon called the aurora borealis.

And beneath the aurora borealis lies a city.

The city was surrounded by high black walls, but its interior could be glimpsed even from the outside.

The city stretched out like a colossal steel behemoth to the horizon. Viewed from beyond, it emanated a mysterious light that was both alluring and awe-inspiring.

Neon lights, like colorful ribbons, intertwine and entwine among the towering skyscrapers, their vibrant colors carrying a cold metallic sheen. The bizarre and ever-changing light and shadow create a series of scrolling patterns arranged vertically.

The glass curtain wall reflects the neon lights, like countless giant mirrors, infinitely amplifying the city's prosperity and hustle and bustle.

Several black dots streaked across the sky; those were low-flying drones darting back and forth over the city, leaving trails of light and shadow.

It was a bright city.

Rings of light pollution surround it like halos, starkly separating the city from the surrounding natural environment, that is, the snow-white sky and earth.

Isolated from the world, strikingly beautiful.

Xia Mi was stunned by the color scheme and style, but Lu Mingfei couldn't help but stop and stare. Because
so similar.

so similar.

It's so similar to the dream city that has appeared countless times in my dreams, that cyberpunk Night City.

As a mercenary who frequently travels for work, and having shown Lai Xuan around Night City countless times to guide him on his tour, how could he possibly be mistaken? He would never be mistaken.

This is Night City.

This is the city of the future.

这是
(There exists a simulation of the future world that X undergoes after returning to this era.)
Lu Mingfei came to this conclusion instantly and believed it without a doubt.

As for why?
Perhaps it's because of longing?

After all, setting aside factors such as social oppression, the cyberpunk world, though dazzling, is indeed beautiful.

Perhaps those chaotic neon lights represent undeniable rise and fall and deformity, but they still possess a genuine aesthetic appeal. As a "deformed society under a highly developed society," cyberpunk, if we ignore the latter, at least represents a "highly developed" level of technology.

The neon-lit city, the holographic projections surrounding the city, and the hovercars certainly embody the futuristic style that people have been hoping for.

No, let's not think about that now.

Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi exchanged glances and walked inside.

They had of course activated the Word of Power [Netherworld Illumination]. Although it was from Nibelungen and had a suppressive effect on normal Word of Power, Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi were both highly skilled elemental manipulators. Unless Odin switched from passive to active, he could not stop the release of the Word of Power.

Climbing up the black wall, the two quickly found a path to infiltrate.

The city was more bustling than I had imagined.

The place was bustling with people of all shapes and sizes, but all of them had a kind of gentle warmth in their expressions, as if they were very happy with their current lives.

Inside was an old man with a kind and gentle face, wearing a brownish-red cotton hat that covered his sparse white hair.

Some men let their offspring ride on their shoulders and walk forward happily.

Some girls, carrying thick books and documents, braved the wind and snow, craning their necks to try and see beyond the crowded barrier. The wind blew off a girl's hat, revealing a head of long, golden hair, skin as white as snow, and captivating, azure eyes that made her seem like a Ukrainian or Belarusian girl.

Lu Mingfei noticed that they were mostly handsome men and beautiful women, and that they all looked relaxed and happy.

A highly happy city
It's the exact opposite of Night City.

Lu Mingfei couldn't stand these things and didn't understand what Existence X was doing, or why it was building a city in this region with a technological level far exceeding the average level of the Earth.

But he will find out.

"Where are we going?"

"The highest place."

Amidst the skyscrapers, Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi stood side by side, overlooking the traffic below. In response to Xia Mi's question, Lu Mingfei answered without hesitation.

"With such an ostentatious design, the highest point of power must naturally be at the top."

At least—if the other party really is coming back from the future.

The boy looked up at the towering black spire, the highest point of the company he had once demolished.

Unexpectedly, we were able to 'tear it down' again here.

"Secretary General, we have detected traces of the use of Word of Power, just as Lord Odin said—[he] has arrived."

".I know."

With a few strands of white hair mixed in with his black hair, the man repeatedly tapped the desktop with his finger.

"So you finally came, Mingfei."

If Lu Mingfei were here, he would probably remember.

Even if they haven't seen each other for a long time, the so-called blood connection might still make them understand each other's identities.

The man whose face bears a resemblance to Lu Mingfei is named Lu Lincheng.

He is his father.
