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

Chapter 145 Rena...? (9.4k)

The two stared at each other for a long time.

Zero's eyes were as cold as ice, without the slightest fluctuation.

Instead, the encouraging smile on the potato chip girl's face gradually disappeared, turning stiff and awkward.

She had no choice but to give up.

That's how it is when you're just watching the show.

It has to be the one being eaten who feels embarrassed for it to be interesting. But if the other party has an attitude of "So what?", "Are you envious?", or "What can you do about it?", then sorry, you, the bystander, will probably feel like you've been kicked by a stray dog.

Besides, is this melon really ripe?

I could vaguely sense that the air conditioning in the back of the car had been turned down a few degrees.

Sensing that something was wrong,
"Alright, alright, Your Highness, I know this blanket is yours; it was my own idea." The potato chip girl quickly tried to appease her.

"But I can't just cover him with me or the long-legged one, that would be so inappropriate..."

She was worried that the girl with no connections was really angry. After all, she had flown all the way from Siberia and rushed to clean up the little rabbit's bottom as soon as she landed, but now there wasn't even a place for her to sit.

"Why don't you sit on my blanket for now?" she suggested tentatively. "I'll get you a new one when we get back."

"I'm not tired," Ling said calmly, withdrawing her gaze.

"Tsk."

Chip Girl sighed and didn't insist anymore.

Everyone in the team has some quirks, and the "cleanliness obsession" of the girl with no personality traits has long been out in the open.

When she goes out to eat or ride in a car, she always brings her own seat cushion. She always wears gloves when touching other people's things. If she doesn't have gloves at the time, she must wash her hands strictly according to the seven-step method afterward. She probably prefers to stay in an absolutely sterile vacuum environment.

In the past, every time Ling rode in Chip Girl's car, she would use that blanket as a cushion... But now, Lu Mingfei is using that blanket to sleep!
It was all arranged secretly by the potato chip girl!

She's so resistant to using other people's things, I can't even imagine what it would be like if others used her things!

Anyway, Su Enxi and Jiu De Mai would never try it easily.

"So, something happened between you two on the mountain just now... uh, I mean, your relationship seems to be progressing very quickly... uh, no, I mean he seemed to be particularly friendly to you." Chip Girl changed her words three times.

She appeared flustered and spoke recklessly, but in reality, she was constantly observing Zero's micro-expressions.

I still want to eat the melon...

“There’s nothing there,” Zero said simply.

Chip Girl couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

Our princess's identity is falsely presented as something of unimaginable nobility, but in reality, she always does the work of a KGB agent. Coupled with that unchanging face, it's really too difficult to glean anything from her expressions.

"So... what exactly is your attitude towards him?"

Chip Girl turned her head and glanced at Lu Mingfei, who was fast asleep, snoring and farting.

Then he moved closer and cautiously asked Zero.

She deliberately lowered her voice, keeping a close eye on Lu Mingfei's movements.

At this moment, 'Heavenly Evolution' quietly took effect. If Lu Mingfei pretended to be asleep, she would definitely be able to detect the clues from his breathing and heartbeat immediately. It was a girl's little secret, so of course she couldn't let him hear it easily.

In fact, if she hadn't been so desperately thirsty, she really wouldn't have wanted to ask such a weighty question in the car!

But Zero ignored her.

"Hey, tell me." The potato chip girl was still unwilling to give up and reached out to poke her small waist, which was tightly wrapped in her combat uniform.

"I'm going to change clothes."

They took a half-step back and avoided the topic altogether.

At this point, Chip Girl's attention shifted from Lu Mingfei to Zero.

Potato Chip Girl suddenly realized that many things were not right.
No, this hairstyle, these accessories... why do they look so old-fashioned? And Your Highness, your chest... seriously?!
The potato chip girl subconsciously looked down and compared her own chips.

She realized that she was actually slightly inferior to this girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old!

Wait, could it be...?

The potato chip girl's lips twitched involuntarily.

However, the answer to this question was soon found.

Zero changed clothes without hesitation, without a second thought.

Completely disregarding the fact that there was a man sleeping soundly next to her, she pulled open the black combat suit that clung to her petite body in front of the potato chip girl, revealing an inner layer of close-fitting armor woven from a mixture of microfiber and metal wire.

Then, to the potato chip girl's astonishment, she pulled out one... two... three chips from her equally black underwear...

"It's not you, sister...!"

Su Enxi was completely shocked, utterly terrified.

What's going on!

So this girl rushed from Kansai International Airport to Gokurakukan right after getting off the plane, knowing full well that one or more fierce battles might be coming her way.

As a result, while she was changing clothes, she stuffed four cushions on each side.
Is this something a queen of icebergs should be doing?!

Aren't you afraid of losing your balance during a fight and suddenly tripping and falling? Even long-legged girls have never done that! Oh, although long-legged girls probably don't really need to...

She was probably worried that Lu Mingfei might wake up at any moment and then suddenly pull down his eye mask to greet her or something.

Zero changed clothes very quickly.

In less than ten seconds, she transformed from a sexy female Spider-Man who could garner countless likes on video platforms like YouTube and Tudou into a girl next door wearing a white dress.

At this moment, having taken off her thick combat boots, Ling is about 1.5 meters tall, with long, straight legs and slender ankles. Her figure is still very healthy and well-developed. In terms of proportions, she might be more in line with the word 'curvy' than Su Enxi, an adult woman, although she is not as large as a child.

Zero pulled an opaque bag from under the sofa where Lu Mingfei was lying, stuffed all the scattered cushions and combat uniforms into it, zipped it up, packed it up, and then kicked it back in.

Throughout the entire process, Lu Mingfei remained motionless, his breathing steady, with a blanket covering his head.

The eye mask and earplugs that Chip Girl prepared in her car have excellent sound and light insulation.

"Is this...is this right?"

Potato Chip Girl let out another exclamation of existential doubt.

"Why did you... pad... so much? What kind of sudden idea is this!"

“He is the person I am protecting, and I need to gain his trust. According to previous intelligence, Lu Mingfei is more likely to be attracted to women with large breasts, so I made some targeted disguises this time.”

Ling paused for a moment and then said, "It's that simple."

The potato chip girl choked for a moment, her eyes showing hesitation: "Is that really true?"

"real."

"it works?"

"Have."

After changing into a white dress, Ling's aura of ruthlessness may have lessened somewhat, but she remained expressionless. Her icy, sculpted quality only intensified, like a desolate blizzard sweeping over you, clean and cold.

Su Enxi began to think deeply.

As the most psychologically mature of the three nannies, she has been surrounded by an overwhelming stream of information since she can remember. She cannot ignore it or find peace. Whenever she wakes up, she instinctively starts calculating.

Even after all these years, as a humanoid self-propelled computer, Su Enxi still cannot fully analyze 'love'.

However, considering the unusual behavior that Sanwu Niu'er occasionally exhibited during the execution of "Project Little White Rabbit," compared to her usual conduct, and further compared to the behavioral logic of male and female protagonists in TV dramas, novels, and fictional stories,

It can be roughly determined that the girl with no connections or income is very likely to like white rabbits.

Another member of the team, the long-legged girl, had a simpler and more direct assessment.
—The girl with no money, no job, and no connections absolutely loves little white rabbits.

The reason is simple: Mai Shutoku's allure to men is just as strong as Ruri Kazama's allure to women.

She's also a womanizer; the number of boyfriends Mai Shude has had could probably make a movie called "300 Spartans." She has a profound understanding of relationships, so she can easily figure out the secret behind the seemingly ordinary girl's unusual attitude towards the innocent girl.

But is this really the case?
Humanoid computers may not understand emotions, just as a playboy in love may not understand true feelings.

Just as Kazama Ruri can easily manipulate a woman's emotions and body, when he truly develops a sliver of love for Sakurai Kogure, all his past experiences may be frozen in that moment.

Even the words spoken by the parties involved may not always be entirely consistent with their true attitude.

"That's all."

The potato chip girl finally let out a long sigh, "Whatever makes you happy."

Although the three "nannies" had worked together for many years and shared all kinds of information, committing countless atrocities together, their past before joining the team was a secret in their hearts, and they never shared it with each other on this final matter.

Does that mean they knew each other before?

“There’s one more thing you haven’t said,” Zero said calmly.

"Oh...right, I almost forgot." Chip Girl patted her smooth forehead. "It's about Lu Mingfei."

"You said."

Ling glanced at Lu Mingfei, who was wrapped in her blanket and sleeping peacefully. Her gaze was calm and unwavering, just as always.

Chip Girl looked away and sighed, "He knows a lot... about us."

“Many, many.” She repeated the word, her expression complex.

"For example?" Zero asked.

Chip Girl hesitated for a moment, then carefully leaned close to Zero's ear, raised a hand as if to cover her mouth, and recounted how Lu Mingfei had revealed a series of major secrets when she picked him up that day.

The secrets that Lu Mingfei revealed at the time shocked Potato Chip Girl.

It even includes the 'Little White Rabbit Project'!
These were all huge matters. Chip Girl didn't tell Zero the details over the phone later, only saying that they would talk about it when they met.

At this moment, after listening to what the potato chip girl said,
"Can this still happen?"

Zero was indeed somewhat surprised.

Her face showed a particularly clear expression of 'shock'.

This meant that Zero, who was always as indifferent as an iceberg, was greatly shocked.

"Yes."

The potato chip girl's lips twitched, a hint of resentment appearing on her face. She lowered her voice again.
"Holy crap, you can't even imagine, what Lu Mingfei said to me back then was... Don't underestimate his intelligence network! I'm truly impressed, he has a whole trade center intelligence network! I bet the boss leaked it to him privately!"

Why did the boss tell him these things?

Zero's face showed even more surprise, and like the potato chip girl when she saw her taking out the mat, her eyes also showed a hint of 'fear'.

Clearly, Chip Girl's guess shocked her even more than before.

"I do not know then."

Chip Girl sighed.
"We can't ask, and we can't inquire too much. You know what kind of person the boss is... He'll suddenly go crazy every now and then. Oh well, I'll just do my job well."

Hearing this sentence,
Ling's two beautiful eyebrows finally twisted together like never before.

"What's wrong, you three-no girl?" Chip Girl nudged her, looking somewhat surprised.

But Zero seemed a little dizzy.
He ignored the potato chip girl and even forgot to avoid her actions, which would obviously trigger her 'germaphobia'.

There was only one thing on her mind.

Will the boss tell Lu Mingfei about me?
No, probably not...

After all, that was something we had agreed upon...

Could it be that Lu Mingfei has remembered some things about me? At least some parts of the past, which is why he has changed like this.

Zero is restless.

"If that's the case, should I take the initiative...?"

……

On the Dongming Expressway at night, two Hummer SUVs passed each other.

"Young Master, something's not right now!"

"Two oil tankers, and a lot of manpower... The Ghost Clan is probably planning to abandon Paradise."

In the Hummer that came from Tokyo, Crow was wrapped in straps, his expression excited, and his voice impassioned, as if he were reciting some kind of proclamation against the traitors.

"This is a golden opportunity! We should call on the local gangs to join us!"

In modern warfare, intelligence is king.

On the way to Gokurakukan, Sakura, as part of the young master's assistant group, also received a message from Osaka.

From the exposure of the Paradise Pavilion, to its transformation, and finally to its abandonment.

It only took one night.

Apart from a very few individuals, the other factions had no idea what had happened inside.

The sudden turn of events felt so abrupt, giving almost no time to react.

At that moment, Genji had just finished a phone call with Tachibana Masamune, the head of Genji Heavy Industries in Tokyo.

"Mr. Masamune meant that we should be careful and not act too rashly. If things get really bad, we can turn back the way we came."

Genji lit another Soft Seven Star cigarette, his expression shrouded in smoke.

"Go back? Holy crap! I got up in the middle of the night, drove for three or four hours, and I'm finally almost there, and now I have to drive another three or four hours back?"

Yaksha was the second to express his opinion, and he shared the same view as Crow.

It's very simple, just four words.

Come all come!

Yuan Zhisheng ignored the two of them. One of them was a brute with a face full of scars, always charging into battle. The other, Crow, was a well-mannered strategist on the surface, but he was actually a half-baked strategist. He could only show off in front of those uncultured gangsters. When it came to real trouble, he couldn't come up with any good ideas nine times out of ten.

Genji looked at Sakura.

He valued the secretary's opinion more.

Sakura pushed up her black-rimmed glasses, which severely detracted from her appearance, and said in an intellectual and analytical voice:

“It takes 45 minutes to get from downtown Osaka to Gokurakukan. By the time we received the accurate information, they had already been on the move for more than 20 minutes. And from our current location, it is still about an 80-minute drive to Gokurakukan.”

"Even if we rush there at full speed, it will be too late. With the efficiency of the Ghost Clan, even if they only have a ten-minute lead, it will be enough for them to uncover the key secrets inside the Paradise Pavilion."

"However, due to Osaka's past location, it has been difficult for our people to get close to Gokurakukan or really find out its secrets. According to intelligence, Gokurakukan's defenses are now more relaxed than ever before... We should go and investigate."

"Wuhu——"

The crow and the demon, who had been dejected because of Sakura's first two sentences, perked up after hearing the last sentence.

Their expressions immediately brightened, and they cheered at the same time.

Yaksha was so excited that he slammed on the gas pedal. Fortunately, his driving skills were excellent, and the mixed-race person's reaction speed was fast enough to avoid a tragic car accident on the highway late at night.

Yuan Zhisheng frowned and glared at the somewhat road-angry driver.

"You mean you still want to go?"

“Yes, but we need to be careful about when we enter,” Sakura said. “Since we can’t get in touch with the core secrets, it’s best to wait for their main people to escort the core secrets away. Then we can go and take a look. At least we can learn some information about the Paradise Pavilion.”

“Yes, you’re right.” Genjiro pondered for a moment and agreed with Sakura’s point of view.

The Yaksha and the crow didn't pay much attention to the intricacies of the situation; they only knew that they didn't need to slink away!
Thank you so much, Ms. Yabuki Sakura!

"The Kansai branch has been fully assembled and is ready to provide support at any time," Sakura calmly reported another piece of news.

Like the Kanto branch, the Kansai branch is one of the two major branches of the Kassel College Japan branch. It is independent of the current branch head, Ryoma Genichiro, and is directly governed by the patriarch, Tachibana Masamune.

This is a powerful team with unparalleled expertise in firearms. Among them are Japan's best snipers and engineering demolition experts. They are usually stationed in Kyoto, not far from Osaka, and were temporarily mobilized tonight to deal with various emergencies.

"Kansai Branch..."

Genji felt much more at ease. Although the leaders of the Kansai branch were generally over 40 years old, and half of them were even over 50, traveling in the early morning was a bit stressful for them, but their bloodline advantage and rich combat experience could make up for it.

As expected of my father, he anticipated all sorts of unexpected situations and made thorough preparations.

……

Two heavy trucks, fully loaded with fuel, drove along the muddy mountain road and finally arrived at the Paradise Pavilion.

Behind them followed countless white headlights; it was an entire convoy of over 20 vans. It was unimaginable how many people could get out of it.

A fire broke out at the Paradise House.

The fire started in the basement and spread as the Ghost Clan poured barrels of gasoline through pipes into the huts that held the sins. As matches were thrown down, this infernal hell blazed from the ground.

From the day this casino was built, Sakurai Kogure had imagined its end. It was a place where all kinds of human desires were concentrated, settled deep in the basement. On the day of the end, it would probably be burned to the ground by the Crimson Lotus Fire, right? This was the ending that paradise should have.

As it turned out, it really was burned down, and everyone secretly agreed.

“Use more gasoline, especially in the lower rooms. Although the body has been moved, his movements were too large. Blood containing the ‘evolution potion’ has been spilled everywhere. The technology is not mature enough yet, and our hyenas can easily smell it.”

Kazama Ruri gazed at the collapsed vermilion pavilion, feeling the heat wave emanating from her even hundreds of meters away.

Before the small bridge and flowing water, numerous figures dressed in black carried, shouldered, or filled with various unidentifiable objects in buckets, moving back and forth between heavy trucks. These vicious gangsters would occasionally bend down and kneel by the pale red babbling brook, vomiting repeatedly and staining it with various colors.

The images in the basement were incredibly impactful.

Even Kazama Ruri was horrified by Lu Mingfei's methods of killing when she went down, let alone these kids.

"My lord, everything has been arranged. Before dawn, the fire will destroy everything in the Paradise Pavilion, and the main family will not be able to find any clues." Sakurai Kogure stood obediently behind him.

"Flames can't completely burn everything away. Ideally, we should use explosives to flatten these buildings, but it's too late." Kazama Ruri sighed softly. "The Paradise House will cease to exist. Will you regret it?"

"Kogure is also tired of the busy work at Gokurakukan and wants to take a break." Sakurai Kogure smiled slightly, her young face as beautiful as a peach blossom in the firelight.

"Rest? Heh, it's not your time to rest yet."

Kazama Ruri put his arm around the girl's waist, a wicked smile curving his lips. "From now on, you'll stay with me and never show your face in public again."

"Yes, sir." Sakurai Kogure obediently leaned against him.

Kazama Ruri murmured, "What a monster... Do you think my collaboration with him will be another wasted effort? I don't even know what he wants."

After both parties reached a cooperation agreement,
Lu Mingfei then asked him a lot of questions about the Fierce Ghost Clan.

What Kazama Ruri found most incomprehensible was that Lu Mingfei was particularly interested in the laboratory and processing plant where the Oni Clan produced and researched Deadpools.

They turn a blind eye to all sorts of insiders and intelligence networks...

Although Kazama Ruri wasn't entirely clear on these matters, the King was a man with a strong desire for power, and he kept many secrets firmly in his own hands.

"Could it be that he has a particular fetish for killing?"

Kazama Ruri chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Compared to him, those so-called murderers in the gang are as naive as a bunch of children. After all, his target is Deadpool, a highly difficult and unprofitable killing... What a perverted guy."

"Actually, he is just like you, sir... both are very gentle people."

Sakurai Kogure hesitated for a moment, then whispered what was on her mind.

Kazama Ruri remained silent, gazing quietly at the towering fire in the distance.

At this moment, one after another, special vehicles loaded with cash and gold left, heavily guarded, with a heavy truck full of various corpses following closely behind. Including the armed personnel responsible for guarding them, the mountain road suddenly became much emptier.

"The King's plan is to open several new Gokurakukan in Osaka, Hokkaido, and other places, following the same model," Sakurai Kogure said softly.

"Whatever, you're not allowed to go. You'll stay by my side and be my personal masseuse," Kazama Ruri said, grabbing the girl's hand.

"Mm," Sakurai Kogure replied.

“Also, arrange for some reliable people to reinvestigate Neo the Boar, to his old lair in South America,” Kazama Ruri suddenly said.

Recalling the few words he received when he tortured Neo the boar, or rather, Hercules, the 'Hercules',

His expression turned sour.

“Yes,” said Kogure Sakurai.

Ding-dong-

She pulled a cell phone from her pocket and began to carry out Kazama Ruri's orders. Soon, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Sir, there's a new development."

"Oh?" Kazama Ruri took the phone and glanced at it.

He recognized the website shown in the phone picture: a pitch-black background, dark green lines, and deep red font. It was a platform for criminals and lurkers in the shadows to revel on a forum called the 'Hunter Website,' where a bounty post was going viral at rocket speed.

This is a legitimate wanted poster, a reward notice.

On the first floor of the post, a photo of Lu Mingfei, the protagonist of tonight's rampage at the Paradise House, was posted, with a string of blood-pumping numbers written below—5,000,000,000 yen.

"Three minutes ago, the king publicly offered a bounty of 5 billion yen to all the 'hunters' in the world for Lu Mingfei's life."

Kazama Ruri raised her eyes, a smile appearing on her lips. "It's actually ten times more than the bounty offered by the Snake-Headed Eight Families. Is the King going to announce to the world that we, the Demon Clan, are the true masters of Japan?"

"He was probably too angry to think straight."

In front of men, Sakurai Kogure was equally unreserved in mocking the old man hiding in the shadows.

In her world, the man in front of her takes precedence over everything else. Tonight, Kazama Ruri told her her true feelings about the King for the first time, so Sakurai Kogure should naturally start to hate the King as well.

Now she naturally knows that the bounty of 500 million placed by the family a few days ago regarding 'Sakura' also points to Lu Mingfei.

Although the photo on the wanted poster looked a bit strange, it would be hard for a normal person to connect it with the boy they had just seen.

"It seems that the cash from the Paradise Pavilion will not need to be circulated to the 'New Paradise Pavilion' for the time being."

Kazama Ruri's smile held a hint of mischievousness. "Tsk tsk, 5 billion yen... But after all, the entire Oni Clan is the King's property. He can use it however he wants, and we can't interfere. An old man who has lost face and is eager to get it back is truly terrifying."

"Should we remind him?" Sakurai Kogure asked softly.

The "he" in this sentence refers to Lu Mingfei.

“No need.” Kazama Ruri smiled faintly. “His identity is not ordinary, and even in Japan, his team is more powerful than you imagine. Fifty billion yen is a lot of money on Hunter x Hunter websites, and I believe it will soon be reposted on the Snake Clan’s internal website. But for someone like him, an opponent that fifty billion yen can buy can only cause ‘some’ trouble. After all, how can a pack of hyenas and jackals kill a real tiger that is guarding them?”

"Of course, on the other hand, the huge bounty will also put enormous pressure on the family, as many of the hunters are dangerous individuals who have been issued red notices by Interpol."

"If these people arrive in Japan, even if they can't find Lu Mingfei, they won't be willing to sit down, eat two bowls of ramen, and then turn around and leave. They will definitely go to Tokyo and become bloodthirsty piranhas, stirring up storms beneath the rippling surface of that city where torrential rains are constant."

"Tokyo... the home of the Snake Clan, it holds a hundred times, a thousand times more secrets than Osaka. Who knows what these madmen can dig up?"

“A new chaos is about to begin,” Sakurai Kogure murmured softly.

In just five minutes, the number of people who replied 'check' to the bounty post that Wang had posted had exceeded one hundred. Even the administrator 'Nido' of the hunter website noticed the abnormal traffic surge and personally stepped in to highlight, feature, and pin the bounty post.

With the extremely high amount of margin deposited into the account, this post was completely locked.
There is no longer any permission to modify its contents.

Now that Kazama Ruri has made her decision, she naturally won't do anything unnecessary.

A man and a woman stood quietly in the mountains, leaning against each other.

The east is white.

A pair of snow-white car headlights reappeared at the end of the mountain road in the distance.

It was a lone Hummer, not part of the Ghost Clan's personnel deployment list.

Logically speaking, at this time, there should be no vehicles coming to the area where local Osaka traffic news has already issued a 'wildfire warning' signal.

Therefore, the passengers of this vehicle are generally clear.

Three hours ago

Intelligence from Tokyo indicates that Genjiro's squad is heading to Gokurakukan in Osaka.

"Brother? He's finally here, hehehe..."

Kazama Ruri, dressed in a pure white kimono, wore a breathtaking smile, and a cherry-red scabbard was faintly visible beneath her white sleeves.

"I've been waiting for you for so long."

However, at this moment, he vaguely heard a soul within him crying and begging for mercy, wanting him to release it so that it could meet the young director of the Snake Clan's Executive Bureau.

Kazama Ruri ignored him. Her personality switching has two modes: either controlled by the clapper sound or a stress response under extreme emotions.

The latter is easy for 'Genjiro' to achieve, but for 'Kazama Ruri', unless he deliberately controls it, there is hardly anything in the world that can truly make him lose control.

Kazama Ruri stared at the Hummer approaching from afar, speeding toward the edge of the inferno.

His chosen location was ingenious, completely out of the blind spot of the path up the mountain. Given his lineage, a sneak attack might just avenge his great grudge.

"Am I really not a ghost?"

He murmured softly, Lu Mingfei's words echoing in his mind once again.

A fierce and menacing aura surged across his face.

"Heh, then... killing me, who wasn't a ghost, makes you even more deserving of death... right, brother?"

Kazama Ruri licked her lips, her cherry-red longsword silently unsheathed, and an eerie light flashed in her eyes.

He took a slow step forward, like a cheetah about to pounce on its prey.

At this moment, the boy in his heart cried even more bitterly, a surge of blood and pain, deep in his bones, rising from his heart to his throat...

"Well--"

Kazama Ruri suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

What kind of joke is this? You still call this idiot "brother"?

But his steps faltered in mid-air.

It seems that he is caught in a dilemma.

Kill directly?
Or should we first find an opportunity to let Genji know the truth of the matter, so that he can also feel the sadness and bitterness that we once experienced?
...and then kill him?
Kazama Ruri looked thoughtful, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

That's a good idea!

Killing him so easily is too lenient... Although it's a rare opportunity, it doesn't fit the previous plan. Genji should feel real pain!
If you are obsessed with justice, then I will let you witness justice decay and deteriorate; if you are addicted to power, then I will let everything you have vanish into thin air, and then let you face death when you have nothing left! This is a truly satisfying revenge!

Moreover... Kazama Ruri suddenly gasped, her face darkening.

"let's go."

Kazama Ruri turned around decisively and walked into the pine forest.

"Yes, my lord."

Sakurai Kogure followed silently behind him, offering no opinion whatsoever.
She would unconditionally support any decision a man makes.

Another direction,
Yuan Zhisheng, dressed in a black trench coat from the Executive Bureau, seemed to be preoccupied with something.

I subconsciously looked back.

however,
As far as the eye could see, Kazama Ruri and Sakurai Kogure had already gone far away.

Only one pine needle remained, its color fading and becoming brittle from the heat.

……

Lu Mingfei stood on the boundless, clear land.

His gaze was vacant, and he stood there like a ghost.

On the white earth, an overwhelming cavalry force charged toward him, stretching from the far east to the far west of the world.

They charged forward, intending to engulf the entire world in their whiteness...

No, that wasn't a white cavalry regiment; it was a surging, overwhelming tide of white cavalry...

He stood there expressionless, in a daze, until the raging tide reached him, at which point he finally saw the ant-like things at his feet. They were neither the raging tide nor white.

That was the deepest black in the world; wherever those things went, there was no light left in the world!
The world has turned dark.

The world was dark and noisy, but he could still see some things.

He saw pale demons nailed to bronze pillars, he saw dragons dancing in the clouds, he saw giant serpents and beasts fighting and swimming in the ocean. The world turned dark, yet it concealed unparalleled magnificence. He remained standing there, dazed and confused, as if trapped in a cocoon, while ghosts whispered around him…

It sounded like mockery, or perhaps a frenzied shout, a voice laced with greed and fear!
He suddenly regained a sliver of consciousness from his dazed state.

Instinctively, one feels annoyed by these sounds.

"Really are……"

"It's so noisy."

boom--

As he whispered, the boundless darkness suddenly exploded, and the frantic shouts and terrified screams vanished.

Light,
They surged in.

As dawn broke, sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains.

Lu Mingfei woke up.

"It was just a dream again..."

As his senses returned and his skin was completely enveloped in a soft touch, he managed to pull his hand out of the softness, reached up to his head, and removed the blindfold and earplugs. It was these two items that made him subconsciously recall the scene of the 'spiritual vision' brought to him by the sound of the clapper, and recreate that scene in his dream.

The dreaded darkness... and the endless white noise.

Thankfully, it didn't turn into a dragon...

But that dream didn't end there. What else did I dream about later?
He lay on an unfamiliar large bed, no longer the familiar kangaroo leather sofa. It was probably a hotel suite. Sleeping in the car all the time was obviously inappropriate, so it must have been a room booked for him by Chip Girl or Zero.

So who carried him in? Was it the driver he'd never met before?

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

His gaze was unfocused, fixed on the desk by the window.

There are other people in the room.

Someone was sitting there.

It was a girl wearing a white cotton dress with white gauze flowing at the hem, and her bare shoulders were as white as ice or salt.

What a beautiful white dress! The girl wearing it looks like an ice sculpture on a snow-capped mountain peak. Sunlight falls on the light gauze at the hem, making everything seem as transparent as ice and snow...

Lu Mingfei subconsciously recalled the past, a past even more distant than the past.

He suddenly remembered what he had dreamed about later.

then,

He instinctively uttered the name.

Like a dream talk.

"Ray, Renata..."

In an instant, it seemed as if the ice flower swayed slightly, its petals soft.
