A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 394 A Pleasant Moment? No, I Must Be One!
Outside the Peninsula Hotel in Tokyo, Lu Mingfei's consciousness was like a plate of loose sand, each grain of sand resembling a scene he had personally experienced, which he barely managed to gather together.

Then Lu Mingfei gradually regained consciousness. His vision was completely dark, but he could clearly feel a warm and strong shoulder.

Shoulder? The sensation on his head told Lu Mingfei that his head was resting on a rather firm shoulder, and a faint smell of grilled sausage lingered around his nose.

The smell of grilled sausage? That can't be right! Lu Mingfei suddenly opened his eyes, his vision blurry at first, then clearing. What he saw was a gray cotton T-shirt with an Evangelion design printed on it.

With sleepy eyes, Lu Mingfei slightly raised his head and his gaze shifted upwards, catching sight of Senior Brother Finger's well-defined jawline.

Lu Mingfei blinked, then blinked again, still not believing it, but Fingel in his field of vision remained unchanged.

"Sigh." Lu Mingfei sighed helplessly and sat up straight: "Why did it have to be Senior Brother Finger! I shouldn't have had any illusions. I could already smell the sausage."

"Tsk tsk." Fingel pointed to his shoulder with annoyance: "It's already kind of you to offer me your shoulder to lean on, what are you fantasizing about? You can't be fantasizing about a girl lending you her shoulder to rest your head on, can you?"

"Besides, with your rhythmic snoring and overflowing saliva the whole way, what girl could stand it?"

Saliva?! Lu Mingfei quickly raised his hand to wipe his mouth. It was dry, without any moisture. He then immediately looked at Fingel's shoulder. His clothes were also dry, without a single water stain.

Lu Mingfei then realized he had been tricked and gritted his teeth in anger. Just as he was about to say something, Fingel pushed open the door and got out of the car: "Mingfei, you're really something. You woke up just as we got back to the hotel parking lot."

"I heard that in your hometown, tourism involves sleeping on the bus and taking photos when you get off. You automatically wake up when you arrive at your destination. Is that some kind of passive skill you have?"

Hotel parking lot? Aren't we still in the mountains? Lu Mingfei scratched his head, got out of the car, and walked back into the Peninsula Hotel. When he saw the familiar bamboo decorations, even more confusion filled his heart: "Senior brother?"

Upon hearing this shout, Fingel, who was walking in front, did not turn around, but Caesar and Chu Zihang, who were even further ahead, turned around in unison.

"Hey, Lu Mingfei, you're awake." Chen Motong and Su Qian waved to Lu Mingfei when they saw him wake up.

Lu Mingfei waved back with a silly grin, and saw that behind the two senior sisters, there were many familiar senior brothers, sisters and professors queuing to enter the elevator. No wonder Boss Caesar and the others were waiting in the lobby on the first floor.

Realizing that Caesar and Chu Zihang were also there, Lu Mingfei quickly forced himself to look away, no longer staring at the two senior sisters, and turned to look at the two senior brothers: "Haha, um, boss, senior brother Chu, what's wrong with me?"

"And what about that Yamata no Orochi, Ince, and the Oni Clan? They've all been dealt with? How did we get back?"

Caesar glanced furtively at the hotel receptionist, then carefully moved behind a bamboo structure: "I don't know either. Principal Angers said that it was Ince who ambushed us and put us all to sleep."

"Only the people of the Old Church resisted Ince's methods. In the end, the Old Church joined forces with the Snake-Headed Eight Families to kill the Yamata no Orochi and Ince. Currently, the Zhou and Bai families, as well as the hybrids of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, are resting and discussing how to hunt down the remaining members of the Fierce Ghost Clan."

"Overall, we won, but I'm not happy with the win. I feel like I didn't participate at all. Victory is certainly gratifying, but to win by doing nothing is a bit shameful."

Chu Zihang glanced at Caesar with a strange expression. He actually felt that he had been involved in a lot, but it was not easy to say these things. He had previously joined forces with everyone to kill Caesar's father, so he should just go along with Caesar now.

Fingel also looked a bit strange. Isn't it better to win without lifting a finger? If he could win without lifting a finger, he would definitely choose to do so. It can only be said that Caesar loves to fight too much.

"Hmm?" Lu Mingfei gradually recalled the scene he saw before he lost consciousness. It seemed that Ince had poisoned him, no, spread some kind of disease, similar to the disease during the time on Bello Island, and his senior brothers and sisters were all at a disadvantage.

Then, the sound of a clapper was heard over the loudspeaker, and Lu Mingfei fainted. Did Senior Brother Chu and the others also faint? In the end, thanks to the intervention of the Old Church and the Snake Clan, everyone survived.
Wait, illness! Realizing this, Lu Mingfei anxiously asked, "Senior Brother Fingel, and Senior Brother Chu, and Senior Sisters, do you need healing? My Word of Power can help!"

Lu Mingfei finally remembered that Susie had hurriedly called him back then so that he could drive away the disease.

Curing illness? Caesar felt like he was on a different wavelength from them.

Susie also recalled calling out to Lu Mingfei before, and thinking of covering for Xu Lie, she quickly found a reasonable excuse: "Oh, don't worry, Bishop Aso of the Tokyo Diocese has already cured us."

"But thank you anyway, for checking on us as soon as you woke up."

Lu Mingfei was quite embarrassed by the praise and just grinned foolishly, "It's nothing, it's nothing. My senior brothers and sisters always take good care of me."

Caesar frowned even more. What were they talking about? Before Caesar could ask, he was asked the question first.

"Caesar, are you alright?!" As the group chatted, a rather lively middle-aged voice came from outside the hotel. The tone of the voice even gave Lu Mingfei the illusion that Chu Tianjiao had arrived.

They looked on curiously, while Caesar frowned in disgust and cast a disapproving glance. Sure enough, his father Pompey walked in from outside.

What's most outrageous is that Pompeii wasn't dressed properly at all. He was still wearing that massage cardigan and shorts, with the front wide open, even more unrestrained than Caesar. Paired with Caesar's golden hair, it was quite dazzling under the crystal chandelier of the Peninsula Hotel.

Huh? Lu Mingfei immediately realized his mistake. This strange uncle was even more like Chu Tianjiao than Chu Tianjiao!

Chu Zihang and the others were not on guard at all, because they had all received a letter from Mr. Error in advance, saying that he would arrange for a certain church member to use the Faceless Man talisman to play and disguise himself as Pompeii.

To prevent any unrest from occurring in the Gattuso family after they have lost their leader.

This reason convinced Chu Zihang and the others. They also knew that Pompeii was Odin, and that he had cultivated and influenced countless forces in the hybrid race for many years.

If Pompeii were to suddenly disappear, it's hard to say what might happen. He might remain as peaceful as before; or the Gattuso and Sera families might engage in a power struggle, leading to the dark hybrids being recruited by each other and fighting against one another.

The members all felt that it was better to be safe and secure, and they all agreed with Mr. Wrong's arrangements. They also understood that the Pompeii in front of them was not the real Odin's return, but a forgery by their own people.

Fingel was still marveling in secret. Even though he had personally used the Faceless Man talisman once, seeing it again still made him sigh at the richness of the Church's methods, which truly exceeded the imagination of the hybrids.

Chen Motong took a small step forward and, using his virtual personality, entrusted Susie to secretly bless the fake Pompeii, so that the fake Pompeii would not be exposed in front of his real son, Caesar.

We're all fellow believers, we should help each other out. As for Caesar? Chen Motong could only apologize to his friend in his heart, thinking he'd find a chance to make it up to Caesar later.

"Why are you here?" Caesar stepped forward irritably, confronting Pompey without any politeness, as if the man standing opposite him was not his own father, but some extremely annoying relative.

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, "Wait a minute, boss? Shouldn't the first question be to this uncle, 'Why are you dressed like this when you go out?'"
Looking at the other person's incredibly revealing attire, Lu Mingfei felt it was too carefree, so carefree that it affected the city's appearance.

"Let me check if you're hurt." After saying that, Pompeii, still wearing his slippers, circled Caesar twice, looking him over. "Hmm, not bad, not bad, it's good that you're not hurt."

On the surface, the Time Worm was concerned about his eldest son, but in his heart he was complaining that he seemed to have been deceived by the real body. Given Caesar's attitude towards Pompeii, how could he possibly call him father?

What a disappointment! It seems I won't be able to be a father after all.

"Ha!" Caesar scoffed at his father's concern, his tone harsh: "You'd better worry about yourself, or you'll end up dying in bed."

The Pompeii disguised as the Time Worm didn't care and even had the mood to joke with Caesar: "Then I'll try to give you a few more younger brothers and sisters before I die."

What the heck? Lu Mingfei finally realized who the person was. This unruly blond uncle in front of him was actually the father of the boss, Caesar?
However, the relationship between the father and son seems to be not very good. Lu Mingfei has spent a long time with Caesar and knows that his boss is very good at dealing with people, and is even more gentlemanly when facing women.

Aside from Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei rarely sees Caesar speak harshly to anyone, but it seems there's another one today.

Caesar stared coldly at Pompeii, too lazy to say a word, much to the surprise of Chen Motong and Su Qian, who were watching the scene unfold. They exchanged bewildered glances.

'You've already blessed this parishioner?' Caesar had no doubt; was it due to good fortune?

'No, no, no, I didn't have time to bless them yet. It seems this fellow believer investigated Pompeii beforehand and imitated it flawlessly; Caesar didn't suspect a thing.'

The two close friends were having a heart-to-heart talk when Pompeii turned to them and greeted them: "Hello, hello! I am Caesar's father, Pompeii Gattuso. It's a pleasure to meet Caesar's classmates!"

Who says it can't be done? The Time Worm's clone refuses to give up, even if it's just claiming it as Caesar's father in public.

Chen Motong and Su Qian looked even stranger. No, this fellow believer was quite bold. Considering they were fellow believers, the two were quite polite: "Hello, Uncle."

Then Pompey turned to Chu Zihang and Fingel, greeting them one by one, before finally speaking to Lu Mingfei: "Lu Mingfei? I've been keeping an eye on you."

"Back when I was studying in Kassel, I even pursued your mother, Jovie."
