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

Chapter 281 Lost Memory

There are too many contradictions in the existence of Zero.

Lu Lincheng mentioned that he used Rhine to arrest Lu Mingze twice—but since the Tunguska event, there hasn't been an explosion of that scale in the human world. The difference in strength between the Lu Mingze he faced on those two occasions was too great.

It is precisely because Lu Mingfei is now the strongest hybrid in the world that he is able to be certain that Tunguska was not something that the human Rhine could directly create, but rather something that the Dragon King initiated.

If the Dragon King activated the Word of Power on his own initiative, then the idea of ​​'capturing alive' would not exist, because there could not be any living people or living dragons in the central explosion zone of the Rhine.

For details, please refer to Principal Angers.

Back then, also in the early 20th century, Menek, the strongest human hybrid, activated the Word of Power Rhine, fought against the Dragon King alone, successfully nailed him to death, and detonated the elements, perishing together.

While its extent was far less than that of the Tunguska explosion, within its core, all the hybrids were indeed reduced to black ash and dissipated into dust—an elemental erasure. Although some material crystals remained, life was absolutely forbidden there.

Historically, the Rhine raids were all aimed at killing the Dragon King, not capturing him alive.

So, if the Tunguska explosion was caused by the Dragon King—this Dragon King's strength far surpasses any Dragon King that Lu Mingfei has ever seen, including Odin.

Or perhaps the Dragon King used his Word of Power and immediately teleported away in some way, and is still alive in some corner of the world at this moment.

Either the Dragon King had already self-immolated in the explosion, or it could not possibly be Zero.

Contradictions, contradictions, and more contradictions.

To explain all this, we need to come up with a reasonable 'hypothesis' that has never appeared before.

But Lu Mingfei could never find the answer.

But that's okay, he's not fighting alone.

Lu Mingfei checked left and right, then pulled out a molecular thread from his sleeve, wrapped one end around the doorknob, and tied the other end to his hand. He then quickly climbed out of the window, which was only wide enough for one person to pass through.

Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini's usual accommodations and meals are definitely not in that building that looks like Arasaka Tower, but in a high-end apartment in the city center.

Lu Mingfei didn't expend much effort to climb out. The city's technological level was roughly the same as it would be seventy years later, and the direction of technological development was also similar, which made it easier for Lu Mingfei to devise counter-tracking methods.

Climbing over the wall, he descended rapidly through the exhaust pipe, his slender figure flitting across the night sky like a bat.

pat.

He arrived downstairs quickly.

There, someone was already waiting for him.

"too long!"

Chu Zihang put his hands on his hips and said coquettishly.

He leaned against the wall, his eyes slightly closed, his fingers casually tapping on his arm, his eyes like autumn water.

Is it really appropriate to describe a male character like this?

But it turned out to be no illusion.

"Senior brother, no, Xia Mi, how come you're making your senior brother look more and more effeminate?"

Lu Mingfei frowned.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi's expression hardened, and she became furious.

"Nonsense! Have you ever heard the saying 'the appearance reflects the heart'? What this means is that 'the spirit influences the body.' Just like Relic, the owner of consciousness will naturally modify the physical body. Especially for a dragon king like me, whose spirit and soul density are already higher than ordinary people, staying in a human body will naturally gradually modify the human body into a form suitable for me! Do you think I want to walk around with something hanging down there every day!"

Jormungandr is so vulgar.

But according to her, when my senior brother gets his body back, his 'size' won't change, right?
Jormungandr has actually done a great deal of harm.

Lu Mingfei lazily changed the subject and recounted everything he had seen and heard during this period. Naturally, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang (Xia Mi) acted separately.

The latter is the Dragon King, and he is dangerous wherever he goes. Uncertain about the other party's attitude, Lu Mingfei originally planned that if a fight broke out, he and Xia Mi would work together from the inside and turn the city upside down.

But later, after discovering that negotiation was possible, Lu Mingfei warned Xia Mi not to use elemental manipulation indiscriminately, but to try to act like a normal person. Fortunately, the saying that the most intelligent among dragons is not a joke. After abandoning the factor of 'elements', Xia Mi is the strongest dragon king.

Therefore, she quickly became familiar with the city's ecosystem.

Dress in clothes that fit the local style, disguise yourself, avoid surveillance cameras, stay out of trouble, wander the streets and alleys, and wait for Lu Mingfei to return.

Lu Mingfei is in the light, Xia Mi is in the dark.

“I have found a way to get to the Pillar of Seal,” Xia Mi said.

When Lu Mingfei was taken by Lu Lincheng to the location where Lu Mingze was sealed, Xia Mi naturally followed and watched the whole process, recording the method to get in—for her alchemy skills as a Dragon King, this was not difficult.

But Lu Mingfei was not in a hurry to take action.

"In your opinion, Xia Mi, does Lu Mingze, that sealed boy, resemble the Black King?"

"."

Xia Mi paused, not giving an immediate answer.

Then, after a long while, he spoke.

"uncertain."

“I was able to tell at a glance that Ronald Don was Norton because he had elements that corresponded to Norton. It might seem subtle to you humans, but I am, after all, someone he knows.”

"But like I said, no one, not even the dragon, is actually familiar with the Black King. Even if they have met a few times, no one dares to look up and spy on him."

"But if you ask me, it's weaker than I thought. If this is the Black King, then it must be an 'incomplete existence'."

Xia Mi said.

Lu Mingfei was not impatient with this answer and raised another question.

He told Xia Mi all the questions he was struggling with about Zero, Black King, and himself.

There's nothing I can do; this is Lu Mingfei's way of ninja.

I'm not smart, so I'll just let others think for me.

After listening to Lu Mingfei's words, the strategist Xia Mi indeed fell into deep thought—if she were a comedic character, she could easily answer "I don't know," but how could Xia Mi be a comedic character!?

She frowned slightly.

He immediately spoke.

“.Cut”.

"what?"

“Everything you’re struggling with right now is based on the premise that Relic is a clone with complete memories, which creates a discrepancy and contradiction. But in the end, Odin may not have used Relic technology, right?” Xia Mi said, tapping her chin. “It could be an upgraded version, a degraded version, or more likely, a spiritual power that Relic’s design referenced. I roughly know of a power with similar abilities.”

"In other words, since Relic exists, it means that human consciousness can be digitized, which also means that it can be quantified and made concrete."

"Then, this naturally explains why Lu Mingfei, although you were born in the 1990s, you might be a zero, and although you are a zero, you have no corresponding memories."

Xia Mi's autocratic way.

"It's obvious, because you're only [part] of Zero."
