A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 312 You seem to be seriously ill, Pompeii takes the blame

Inside the police station, the detention cell door opened, and a police officer led Chu Zihang in. He then saw Lu Mingfei, whose face was ashen: "You can leave now."

Lu Mingfei subconsciously looked up, and that one glance awakened all his energy: "Senior Brother Chu!!"

Chu Zihang nodded indifferently. That's just how he is; he doesn't usually show his emotions. But when he received a call from Kassel College and was given an urgent mission—to get S-level Lu Mingfei out of the police station—heaven knows how surprised he was inside.

How did Lu Pusa, a dignified S-class hybrid who saves people from suffering and is praised by many students in Kassel, end up in jail?

Do they really need him to come and rescue them urgently?
Driven by curiosity about gossip, Chu Zihang, the only student among the many who was not from the same city as Lu Mingfei, drove quickly to the branch office, just to get to the bottom of his question: "How did you get in?"

"Senior brother!!" To Chu Zihang's surprise, Lu Mingfei did not immediately satisfy his curiosity. Instead, he rushed up with a mix of grievance and joy, hugging Chu Zihang tightly and refusing to let go!

Lu Mingfei held on very tightly, afraid that if he loosened his grip even slightly, Chu Zihang would run away.

The strength of that embrace was enough to make his senior sister Susie green with envy!

If Chu Zihang had to describe him, Lu Mingfei at this moment would probably be like a Samoan who had been locked up at home and forgotten to be fed, and had been starving for two days and two nights. That's why he would feel so aggrieved and happy when he sees him.

"Aww! Aww! Senior brother, Senior Brother Chu! This is wonderful, really wonderful! You still remember me!"

Chu Zihang: “?”

Before Chu Zihang could say anything, Lu Mingfei became excited and said, "Since you still remember, senior brother, yes, yes, can I borrow your phone?"

Lu Mingfei's phone was temporarily confiscated by the station and he could only get it back after he left. It would only take a minute, but Lu Mingfei was impatient and didn't want to wait even a minute.

Chu Zihang didn't understand what had happened to elicit such a strong reaction from Lu Mingfei, but he still silently took out his phone.

That's how the cold-faced senior brother is. He never says anything, but he often silently provides what you need when you need it.

However, just to be on the safe side, Chu Zihang did not hand it over: "Who do you want to call? I'll dial the number."

If Lu Mingfei were to contact Fingel and Chen Motong, there would be some trouble if the other party accidentally mentioned the old church and Lu Mingfei overheard it. Chu Zihang felt it was most appropriate for him to make the call himself.

"Fingal, find Senior Brother Fingal!"

Chu Zihang dialed the number as instructed and soon heard Fingel's familiar voice: "Oh, that's rare, you actually contacted me."

Fortunately, Fingel didn't immediately address him as "Mr. Red Priest" or mention anything about the old church; he was relatively cautious.

Chu Zihang felt relieved and said succinctly, "Lu Mingfei is looking for you."

Lu Mingfei had been impatient for a long time. When Chu Zihang handed him the phone, he didn't even take it. Instead, he bent down, tilted his head, and listened intently, almost resting his head on Chu Zihang's hand: "Senior Brother Fingel!!"

Chu Zihang: "(⊙_☉)"

Fingel: "(O_o)"

"You seem to have that serious illness." Fingel, who was still waiting for Eva to get her makeup done in front of the girls' dormitory in Kassel, pulled the phone away. Only after Lu Mingfei had stopped wailing did she pull the phone back closer: "What's wrong? Why are you screaming so pitifully?"

"I remember you didn't fail your final exams."

Lu Mingfei was even more excited: "Waaah, Senior Brother Fingel, you really are...! That's great!"

"What the hell is going on?" Fingel had already seen Eva and waved to indicate, "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. I'm going to have dinner with Eva."

"It's alright, it's alright!" Lu Mingfei straightened up happily, his smile almost manic. It was wonderful that everyone in Kassel still remembered him, hadn't forgotten him, and hadn't been replaced by some strange handsome young man.

In other words, the problem lies with his uncle and aunt, not with him. That's great.

Lu Mingfei is someone who is so afraid of being alone. If no one in the world remembers him and forgets him, he will be very, very scared, and may even cry out of fear.

If even one person remembers him, he can spontaneously find the courage to continue his life.

Why was he willing to make a deal with the little devil Lu Mingze and protect his senior brothers and sisters? It was because his senior brothers and sisters were among the few people in Lu Mingfei's many years of life who truly cared for, loved, and taught him.

His senior classmates made him no longer lonely, and he would never be alone again.

Now that Chu Zihang and Fingel still remember him, Lu Mingfei can rest assured.

Fingel scratched his head, wondering if something was wrong or not. Soon, Chu Zihang's voice was heard: "I think Lu Mingfei is fine for now. If there are any problems later, I will contact my senior brother."

"OK!" Fingel hung up the call with relief and began his sweet date with Eva.

At the police station, Chu Zihang called to the still excited Lu Mingfei, "Let's go." "Okay!" With Chu Zihang's help, Lu Mingfei signed a guarantee, retrieved his phone, and left the station safely.

Chu Zihang turned around with a serious expression and asked, "Do you need me to light a brazier for you? Step over it to get rid of bad luck."

"Thank you for your kindness, senior brother, but no need." Lu Mingfei had fully recovered and his usual playful smile reappeared: "People only step over the fire basin after they get out of prison, I haven't reached that level yet."

"So," Chu Zihang finally had a chance to ask the question that had been bothering him, "what exactly did you do to deserve being detained?"

Lu Mingfei was also bewildered when this was mentioned: "I don't know either. I didn't do anything. For no reason, when I got home, my uncle and aunt..."

"And that's how I got taken away by the police. Senior, believe me, I'm not talking nonsense, and I'm not mentally ill."

"Hmm." Chu Zihang calmly patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder, saying nothing unnecessary, but concisely: "I believe in you."

A single word of belief warmed Lu Mingfei's heart and brought a slight tingling to his nose. This was Senior Brother Chu! He looked cold and aloof, like a ruthless killer, but in reality, he really took good care of his junior brother!
Chu Zihang then contacted Fingel on his phone: "However, it's better to consult a professional about this kind of problem. I may not be able to help you."

Fingel answered the phone, learned the details, and told Eva on the other end to eat first: "This is a bit troublesome, Chu Zihang, are you speaking on speakerphone?"

"No." Chu Zihang knew that Fingel was going to tell some secrets, so he asked him to confirm beforehand to avoid Lu Mingfei overhearing.

Knowing that Chu Zihang would understand, Fingel spoke up with peace of mind: "Lu Mingfei is troublesome because of the influence of the mysterious being Lu Mingze's high status. I cannot predict Lu Mingfei's future."

"Therefore, we cannot make an accurate judgment. Based solely on the information provided by Lu Mingfei, we can only know that his uncle, aunt, and cousin do not remember him, but we do remember Lu Mingfei."

“There was even a stranger who took Lu Mingfei’s place and lived in his uncle and aunt’s house, and no one found it strange.”

"In this situation, either Lu Mingfei's family members have been influenced by spiritual incantations or by extraordinary abilities."

Extraordinary ability? Chu Zihang understood what Fingel meant.

Of all these extraordinary abilities, according to Chu Zihang's understanding, the most likely way to do this is through the audience. Chen Motong could do this with ease.

Hypnosis, manipulation, and dream alteration can all influence the subconscious, creating Lu Mingfei's current situation.

Chen Motong had no reason to do that. Was it a senior member of the church from another audience channel? Or was it another hybrid race using a mental incantation?
Fingel knew that discussing this over a transoceanic phone call would be fruitless: "At worst, I'll ask Nono if she's free to fly over..."

The subsequent words did not reach Chu Zihang's ears, because both Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang were in a dream at this moment. Lu Mingfei was unaffected, while Chu Zihang's perception of time and the outside world was stretched out.

On the highway outside the police station, all vehicles came to an instant, and the noisy pedestrians also stopped. Lu Mingfei looked around and asked, "You've finally come out? Do you know about your uncle and aunt's situation?"

"Of course I know." Lu Mingze, whom I hadn't seen for several months, also came out of the police station. For some reason, he was still wearing a black and white striped prison uniform. Most importantly, his black hair had turned white in a strange way.

“I even know who is provoking my brother.”

"What's wrong with your hair?" Lu Mingfei didn't care about the mastermind behind the scenes. Looking at Lu Mingze's white hair, he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Are you injured? That's why you haven't come out no matter how much I call you these past few months."

"Huh?" Lu Mingze was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Brother, you really are... hahaha! Although you care about me a lot, I just dyed my hair to match this outfit."

"Brother, you're so silly, it's hilarious!"

This is a lie; Lu Mingze came up with this excuse so as not to lose face in front of Lu Mingfei.

His gray hair was the price he paid for fighting the concept of death in the Dark River on Bello Island. At that time, Lu Mingze merged with Lu Mingfei and relied on his almost infinite vitality to resist the invasion of death.

He eventually exhausted himself and fell into a coma.

After a period of deep sleep and recuperation, when Lu Mingze slowly woke up, he found that he had lost most of his vitality, his hair had turned irreversibly white, and he was becoming increasingly weak.

Lu Mingze originally wanted to sleep for a while longer, but after sensing that something very serious had happened to his brother Lu Mingfei, he rushed over with his white hair.

Lu Mingfei was particularly easy to fool. He glanced at the white-haired Lu Mingze and the prison uniform, and they did look quite compatible, so he didn't care anymore: "Then who is the mastermind? I was so scared! My uncle and aunt don't even remember me!"

When Lu Mingze mentioned this, his face was filled with murderous intent, as if he was extremely indignant about the existence that had provoked his brother.

"Who else could make a person's existence disappear from the world, forgotten by their relatives? Only Odin could do that!"

On the South African savanna, Pompeii Gattuso, who was showing a female model a close-up view of lions, suddenly sneezed: "Achoo!"

"Who? Who's talking about me?"
