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

Chapter 283 Mingfei, how could you talk to your mother like that!

Chapter 283 Mingfei, how could you speak to your mother like that!

As the surgery approached, Lu Lincheng decided to have a unique father-son conversation with Lu Mingfei.

"The committee has approved your residency application, but with a condition: a special medical team will try to help you sever ties with that parasite, and you must cooperate unconditionally," Lu Lincheng said softly.

Lu Lincheng led Lu Mingfei to enjoy the snow. Although this place was modeled after the City of Night, Nibelungen was quite special. Just like Odin's Nibelungen, which was constantly raining, this place was perpetually shrouded in blood, as if time outside had been frozen at this moment.

Christmas has arrived before we know it, and snowy days always go perfectly with this holiday.

The view of snow from a high place is truly beautiful. The towering spruce trees have become bushes at your feet. In this futuristic city, people no longer need to decorate themselves. They can simply use projection to create the most realistic Christmas.

"Is this how you celebrate Christmas every year?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Ah."

Lu Lincheng and Lu Mingfei chatted about Christmas in this world. The meaning was no different from that in the outside world, but the culture here was more enthusiastic and radical. Perhaps because it was a 'doomsday haven', childbirth became the most important thing. Girls would not hesitate to launch an attack on the boys they liked. Due to the gender ratio problem, there was even a possibility of having three wives and four concubines.

For a moment, Lu Mingfei considered staying here, but in reality, it was just that long-silent loser joking. As the Grand Commander of Night City, Lu Mingfei had no shortage of concubines, let alone three wives and four concubines. Even if he had 30,000 concubines, someone would still be there to support him.

If that were the case, Lucy would be angry.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but smile when he thought of this. It was the most sincere smile he had shown in recent days, and Lu Lincheng seemed to interpret it as a friendly signal. He was very pleased and quickly began to talk to Lu Mingfei.

However, the topic soon shifted to the 'surgery to separate Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze'.

“We will take you into your inner world. In that world, you are your true self. You must believe this, and we will help you achieve it.”

"The scientific research in this haven is many years ahead of the world. We are convinced of the existence of spirit and soul, and we have conducted more in-depth research and exploration on the concept of the 'true self.' As far as we can conclude, most scientists in this city are more inclined to believe that the 'soul' is a person's true self."

Lu Lincheng joked, "The body is nothing more than a whole made up of interconnected cells. Such a quantifiable thing will always be considered to have no subjectivity."

"anyway."

“Do you remember the boy I showed you? Even though we bound him with the alchemical matrix and Gungnir, he remained alive and could not be killed no matter what.”

"That was the world's calamity, the origin of destruction, but it finally revealed its weakness, and revealed its weakness to you, Mingfei."

"You keep seeing that parasite, or let's call him Lu Mingze, in your hallucinations, which are actually dreams in a certain sense."

"So-called dreams are unreserved truths, another world independent of the physical body."

"Even if that parasite is a being like the Black King, he would still be incredibly weak there."

"so--"

Lu Lincheng said slowly, "Kill him in your own heart."

Lu Mingfei did not answer.

The first thing that came to his mind was his experience in the 'Black Wall' of Night City.

There, he and Chu Zihang successfully broke through the fog, but what if he hadn't been able to escape, or had been killed?
who knows.

Lu Mingfei simply gazed quietly into the distance. Through the hazy snow and mist, he could see the happy faces of people. Occasionally, for some reason, he thought of the previous Christmas.

My date with Zero.

Zero and Zero escaped from Black Swan Harbor around Christmas time.

And Zero, that Russian girl, was so devoted and conscientious to him, perhaps because of a past connection.

My own past.
In a daze, he seemed to see himself talking with Zero on the park bench again.

It hasn't been long at all.
Yet I feel a little nostalgic.

The eve of the surgery.

Lu Mingfei, however, had not yet received any signal from Xia Mi that they were ready to take action.

Just as he was about to do something to buy time, an unexpected event occurred. Lu Mingfei, who was pretending to be asleep in his bedroom, was awakened by a movement. Then the door opened, and Lu Mingfei found his elderly mother, Jovini, pushing open his bedroom door with a gun in her hand.

Before his mother could slap him to wake him up, Lu Mingfei grabbed her hand.

It was very cold, and she was quite petite. Although her mother was quite large for a woman, she was still a frail woman compared to Lu Mingfei.

She wasn't there to assassinate anyone. In the darkness, Giovanni's eyes gleamed like a wolf's, and her voice was deep and brooked no argument, "Mingfei, do you believe Mom or not!"

"Believe me! Put on your clothes and come with me! Now!"

"."

Lu Mingfei didn't speak, nor did he refuse.

“Cutting might kill you, and even if you survive, the outcome won’t be what you want. You don’t have to be a hero, not every time.” Jovini cupped Lu Mingfei’s face in her hands, repeating this sentence over and over again. In the end, Lu Mingfei still couldn’t refuse.

When he arrived at this shelter, he learned that of his parents, Lu Lincheng had completely become someone who used him, while Qiao Weini's love for him was unconditional.

He thought to himself that this might be because of the issue that Lu Lincheng had mentioned before.

[True Self]

If Lu Mingfei is a stillborn infant born from Zero's edited memories, then he can indeed be interpreted as a 'pure baby' from a certain perspective.

His body was born to Giovanni and Lu Lincheng. Although his soul belonged to someone else, he had no corresponding memories, and those years of childhood were definitely not faked.

Lu Mingfei still remembers the sincere love Lu Lincheng had for him when he was a child, and the contrast with his current indifference was so glaring.

Perhaps they didn't know at first that Lu Mingfei had been resurrected by borrowing someone else's Relic. Now, Jovini still believes that Lu Mingfei is her child, while Lu Lincheng feels that Lu Mingfei is 'impure'.

He's a monster.

“Those guys around us who look like ordinary people are actually super hybrids, elites. Even a random passerby in this city would be an elite member of the Enforcement Bureau.”

"Herzog's research has been carried over; there are plenty of people here who make up more than 50% of the population, and they have the authority to deploy Gungnir. There's no chance of winning by force."

The woman revealed the secrets of Perfect City one by one. As Lu Mingfei listened and looked at the woman protecting him, it would be a lie to say he wasn't moved.

It's just too late, Mom.

too late.

However, the plan needs to be moved up a bit.

Even so, I still have to go and save Lu Mingze.

"Didn't you understand what Mom just said?! You—"

"I'm sorry, Mom."

Lu Mingfei lowered his eyes.

"too late."

We should have met sooner.

Lu Mingfei slapped the woman's chin, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed into the boy's arms in an instant.

Lu Mingfei gently laid her down, then unlocked her phone using the password he had already seen.

Perfect City still uses mobile phones—that's really good news.
