Dragon Clan: I am Lu Mingfei, the Intelligence Strategist, the God of Concepts!

Chapter 116: Possible Possibility of Being Possessed by Dragons

The amusement park was bustling with activity, but this table in the corner of the dessert station seemed to be isolated from the world.

The air fell silent for a second after Lu Mingfei asked the question.

"The Dragon King has transformed into a cocoon...?"

Angers was stunned.

Amidst the deep wrinkles on his forehead, a clear "川" (river) character emerged.

This is indeed a rather serious issue.

For thousands of years, humanity has fought against dragons using alchemical tools, melee weapons, and even evil witchcraft, paying a heavy price.

However, due to the limitations of humanity itself, all that can be done is to repeatedly seduce the dragons into slumber. Dragons will 'cocoon themselves,' and their powerful spirits are almost immortal, allowing them to be resurrected forever. Humans, on the other hand, pay a real and tangible price in terms of their lives.

In other words, it's like a road of no return.

As for the Dragon King, or rather, the first generation of the species.

There has never been a precedent in history for the complete death of the first generation of beings. Even though the Zhou family claimed to have defeated the 'King of the Ocean and Water', Angers, as well as everyone else in the hybrid world and even the pure-blooded dragons hidden in human society, believed that the King of the Ocean and Water had simply entered a new round of cocooning.

One day in the future, this Dragon King will return in his full glory.

The key is.

The term "dragon cocoon" has an additional special meaning for Angers himself.

He always suspected what happened back then...

However, that was merely his own speculation.

Because the secrets involved were too significant, Angers never shared his speculations with anyone, not even his old friend who was a master of alchemy.

Even if that drunkard might be able to offer some advice...

Angers dared not gamble.

More than a hundred years ago, after that summer night, he had long since lost the ability to completely trust others.

Especially in this kind of thing.

Therefore, he could only keep this secret and not let anyone know.

“Lu Mingfei is probably worried about the prospects of slaying the dragon... That’s normal, after all, he’s still just a child.”

Angers comforted himself.

Think for a moment.

With a solemn expression, he said, "The cocooning of dragons cannot be the reincarnation of a soul. The so-called immortal gods or souls smuggled back from hell are utterly absurd. When a dragon is killed, it dies. There are many cases in history where the second or third generation of the species have completely died."

"As for the immortality of the first race, that's just dogma... the dogma is that they are 'immortal' simply because they have never been killed."

"The process of cocooning must follow certain biological logic, just like animal reproduction or regeneration. Of course, it could also be similar to the seeding process of plants. There are many speculations, but no conclusion has been reached yet..."

"I see."

Lu Mingfei gave him a look that said, "Go on," while keeping a close eye on Angers' expression, as if scrutinizing something.

Angers, not understanding the situation, had no choice but to press on while the iron was hot.

"However, in my opinion, the day when we will truly kill them is not far off. Science will surely become the weapon for us humans to eliminate the dragon race once and for all."

“Mingfei, you don’t need to worry too much. Our Kassel College has always been committed to various scientific research. In the past hundred years, we have made continuous breakthroughs in dragon genes, alchemy, and the power of words, and our understanding of dragons has become increasingly profound…”

Angers continued to recount his story.

His words gradually revealed a sense of confidence, as if he were giving a thought lesson to a student.

Angers was naturally unaware that Lu Mingfei had already seen through his revealing underwear, and even subtly accused him of being 'possibly possessed by a dragon'.

This is unprecedented... Even the political enemies who most wanted this old guy to die on the spot wouldn't dare to be this ruthless!
Lu Mingfei remained vigilant, constantly probing him with questions that served as confirmation.

Angers, on the other hand, would patiently provide the corresponding answers.

He genuinely hoped that Lu Mingfei could enroll; he knew Lu Mingfei's special circumstances better than anyone else.

……

Just as Angers was making a guest appearance in the admissions office of Kassel College, enthusiastically explaining to Lu Mingfei the various academic advantages of his college.

A Mercedes-Benz pulled up in a hurry outside the amusement park.

Several members of the Zhou family jumped down from inside.

Recently, the Zhou family has been supporting the Su Group, and with the arrival of Nuwa in Binhai, a temporary base has naturally been established there.

Incidentally, the Zhou family's keepsake and Nuwa's exclusive weapon—the Dragon-Slaying Platform—was also deposited here from Xiangyang Tang City, just in case. However, unsurprisingly, an accident still occurred.

No one expected that the secret society's killer leader would suddenly appear here!
The principal of the Kassel College, Hilbert Jean Angers... Nuwa naturally knew about his situation.

The old man's Word of Power is the 'Time Zero,' a name known as the Assassin's Word. It is very famous in the world of hybrids, and he even visited the Zhou family thirty years ago.

If it weren't for the previous Nuwa's word of wisdom being 'moment', which perfectly countered it.

They might not have been able to defeat this old guy back then.

Contrary to some rumors, the two did not end up fighting to the point of obliterating the Great Dao.

Instead, they stopped there and concluded the meeting through consultation.

Based on the experience of fighting the previous Nuwa, Angers' 'Time Zero' seems to be different from the normal Time Zero, as if he has developed a completely new field... In short, he is very difficult to deal with.

"Xiaoqiang, you go back with them first."

At the entrance of the amusement park, Nuwa whispered to Su Xiaoqiang.

"Mm." Su Xiaoqiang nodded.

Then, Nuwa, carrying the Broken Dragon Platform wrapped in a musical instrument case, rushed towards the dessert station in the garden without hesitation.

She didn't know why Angers had come, so she could only think of the worst-case scenario.

If this is detrimental to Lu Mingfei, then we're in trouble!
The situation was urgent, so she no longer deliberately slowed down in front of ordinary people; her movements were so fast that she swept through the air like a gust of wind.

Even in a weakened state, she still possesses the strength of a typical A-rank hybrid.

Su Xiaoqiang silently watched her figure disappear into the crowd before stepping into the car.

……

"Where are the others!"

Nuwa stormed into the dessert station, looked around, and saw only Lu Mingfei sitting alone in the corner.

Angers is gone. "You killed him?"

Nuwa was stunned for a moment, holding the music box containing the Dragon-Slaying Platform, standing there at a loss.

Lu Mingfei shook his head, still deep in thought. "No, he's gone... Here, try this first."

He pointed to a cup of hazelnut ice cream on the table.

"I misunderstood before. He just wanted to recruit me into Kassel College."

To everyone's surprise, Nuwa reacted even more strongly upon hearing this.

"Holy crap! How dare this old guy!"

Nuwa almost jumped up, grinding her little white teeth, her face full of indignation, looking just like a lioness whose territory had been invaded.

“I didn’t agree.” Lu Mingfei smiled.

"Oh, that's more like it."

Nuwa's voice softened, and her expression relaxed considerably.

Then she seemed to remember something, and her brows furrowed deeply once again.

"That's not right. Why would Angers suddenly try to win you over? Did someone leak the news?"

As she spoke, a flash of murderous intent crossed her delicate face.

If there is a traitor in the Zhou family who leaks the news that Lu Mingfei killed the Dragon King, then she will definitely purge the family, especially during this critical period.

"No."

Lu Mingfei shook his head.

During his conversation with Angers, he suddenly realized something.

If the letters my parents sent me all these years were fake, could the living expenses be real?

It might have been sent by this 'grandfather's comrade-in-arms'.

Believe it or not, it's not impossible.

After all, the earliest panel showed that the people who were secretly observing, or rather 'monitoring' him, came from Kassel College, indicating that these people had been paying attention to him for a long time.

To say that the principal of Angers was completely unaware of this entire process... would be a real insult to intelligence.

But if that's the case, what's the point of sending the money to the uncle and aunt?
Lu Mingfei couldn't really comment, but he felt that no matter what, this series of actions had an abstract quality to it.

In short.

Although Angers' favorability rating for him is 5, he still can't completely trust the other party, or even foolishly follow him.

In particular, there is a dragon king inside Angers whose specific situation is unknown.

How could he possibly abandon the Zhou family, ruled by the goddess Nuwa, for a landmine-themed academy run by a principal who specializes in landmines...?

It's not like I'm crazy.

All I can say is that there is a possibility of further cooperation.

However, Lu Mingfei did not say it outright, but used delaying tactics to indicate that he would think about it again later.

He really needs to think about it carefully.

So Angers didn't press him any further, and even bought a few more ice creams for Lu Mingfei to bring to his girlfriend later as an apology for the sudden interruption.

After listening to Lu Mingfei's general account.

Nuwa finally smiled. It seemed that this man was quite reliable and had no flaws.

Why did you bring the sword over?

Lu Mingfei noticed the instrument case she was carrying and looked surprised.

"I didn't know it was like this, and you didn't even say a word, just gave me that scary look."

Nuwa glared at him, annoyed. "Didn't I come here with my sword to save you?"

"I texted you."

Lu Mingfei blinked. After the college introduction began, he pretended to take notes in his phone's memo app, but actually sent them all text messages to let them know he was safe.

"I...I didn't see it!"

Nuwa was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat guilty.

She rushed in without stopping as soon as she got the Dragon Slayer Platform. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have brought the Dragon Slayer Platform to the amusement park. There were many tourists around, and at most it could only serve as a deterrent. Moreover, if a real fight broke out and it came to a life-or-death situation, in her current state, she could probably only serve the purpose of 'delivering the sword and the person'. In fact, she was just worried and confused.

"It's alright, thank you anyway."

Lu Mingfei smiled and patted her head, then smoothed her slightly messy hair that had been running all the way. Naturally, he wouldn't blame her for such a thing.

Nuwa rubbed against her twice, then chuckled sheepishly.

"Let's go find Little Fairy first, don't keep her waiting too long," Lu Mingfei asked.

"I've told Xiaoqiang to go back first," Nuwa said.

Lu Mingfei sighed, "Sigh, that old guy is really... Oh well, let's go back too."

Disturbed by Angers, their interest vanished. Naturally, there was nothing fun for the two of them.

We've experienced most of the attractions, so it's good to head back early.

He immediately called another car from the Zhou family.

……

The two returned to their home at the Peacock Mansion.

Su Xiaoqiang was cleaning. After her last act of vandalism, she had carefully studied the structure of the mop, even though she didn't actually need to do this kind of thing.

"Are you back?"

Su Xiaoqiang smiled, then suddenly said, "Sister Nuwa, we're out of trash bags. Could you please go downstairs and buy some?"

"Buy garbage bags? I can go get them, right?" Lu Mingfei paused, slightly taken aback as he changed into his slippers.

Su Xiaoqiang shook her head, her tone indifferent.

"No, I have something to tell you."
