Lu Mingfei, become the king of gambling in dungeons!
Chapter 4 The King Descends from the Sky
"After the burnt offering, the black ram and the lamb cross the fire. On that day the devil in the devil’s heart will awaken. He will seize the dragon, the ancient serpent, also called the devil or Satan, and force it to carry him to the far-off heaven."
"The new century will see an unprecedented bloodshed, after which distant lands will be filled with thorns, and there will be no more holy Lord in the heavens."
Who are these Christians celebrating Mass here?
Lu Mingfei, who was falling, paused for a moment upon hearing the sound and turned his head.
This place is full of evil spirits called Deadpool. There are many churches in Japan, and it is normal for people to hold Mass and pray to gods and Buddhas when they encounter problems. During his first few visits to Genji Heavy Industries, he prayed to all kinds of gods and Buddhas and those who could be associated with gods and Buddhas. He even went so far as to worship Hong Xiuquan, combining Chinese and Western ideas.
It turns out that the elevator shaft disappeared from the elevator door on the 12th floor at some point, but there was no wind flowing through this "window". The "piston effect" in the elevator shaft made it feel like a closed space.
The voice seemed to come from a boy standing in front of the elevator on the 12th floor. The dim light from the wall lamp did not reach him. He was a boy wearing a black suit and holding a bouquet of flowers. He did not look Japanese. He had pale golden eyes and stood very straight.
The childlike innocence and delicacy he caught in that fleeting glimpse made Lu Mingfei think that there was a high possibility that it was a girl.
The other person was so clean, as if they had never stepped on dust before.
The air pressure created by the elevator moving up and down slowly rippled.
In the shadows against the light, the boy in the black suit waved gently at him, his hand and sleeve stretching across the hazy, indistinct boundary of light and shadow, as if saying goodbye.
The white roses embroidered on the cuffs were half-stained crimson by the seeping blood, resembling a real flower half withered and half in full bloom beneath the rippled red river.
It was both our first meeting and our farewell.
Wow, another rare side quest character has been unlocked.
Hallelujah, Christ is very good.
Lu Mingfei, who was giving a thumbs-up, was oblivious to everything else. He suppressed the sense of familiarity and excitement in his heart and waved goodbye to the boy in return.
He used his arms, covered in black scales, to absorb the force, slowing down along the safety rope on the elevator shaft wall, and finally landed steadily on the top of a rising silver elevator car.
Today he's going to take up arms and go to battle; he can deal with side quests later.
He doesn't care whether they're acquaintances in this instance world or not, even if they don't know each other in real life.
With 700 Genji Heavy Industries, he unlocked more than one hidden side character in this building. On the lowest floor, there was a handsome young man named "Kazama Ruri" who was leaving. The handsome young man could sing Matsuo Bashō's haiku and give a farewell dance. There was also... a red-haired shrine maiden with the scent of sandalwood. After the shrine maiden swiftly killed the overstepping Deadpool, she lay barefoot in a pool of blood, tilted her head and sent out an invitation to escape, revealing a deer-like expression.
That life-threatening crisis was resolved so easily; the beauty saved the bear.
There were several times when Lu Mingfei followed the witch around like a puppy, and he even considered simply ignoring the fate of the three brothers in the mural hall.
However, after several attempts to avoid it, he eventually returned to the Mural Hall. When he first arrived and was farming dungeons, he was extremely unlucky and entered the Mural Hall following the instructions. He was trapped inside and was rescued more than once by Chu Zihang, Caesar, and Genji.
That's how stubborn people are. No matter how determined they are to take a detour, they can't give up on the friends they meet first. Even with a beautiful girl who makes their heart flutter by their side, they are still hesitant to go and rescue those three old men.

[My inner monologue: I'm someone who occasionally goes crazy too.]
The silver elevator descended, the wall lamps went out from top to bottom, and Genji Heavy Industries experienced a brief power outage. Suddenly, two crimson-gold flames floated out of the darkness and flew straight towards Lu Mingfei.
This is a snake-like Deadpool, its bluish-black scales almost blending into the darkness. It lurks on the angle iron beam between elevators, drooling as it greedily awaits its prey.
The beam is only thirty or forty centimeters wide, and there are high-speed elevators in front and behind. When you are in the middle of it, the elevators will pass by your face or back at any time. This Deadpool is almost "embedded" in the elevator and is waiting.
Its waiting was not in vain; the prey did indeed arrive.
Thick, black blood splattered, and Deadpool twisted venomously atop the elevator, unable to hunt the seemingly within-the-box prey.
A broad, long saber thrust out as it emerged from its hiding place to pounce, pinning it firmly to the roof of the shed.
A wide, long, heavy sword pierced its body and the three layers of steel plates at the top of the elevator, followed by two small titanium alloy swords that severed the tendons and radial nerves in its arms.
The blade of the horse-slaying sword is engraved with complex ancient and Latin scripts, displaying dark golden patterns that vibrate at an astonishing frequency.
The Desert Eagle was pressed against Deadpool's face when a burst of blazing white fireball suddenly erupted from the barrel.
Even the strongest defenses of a serpentine monster cannot withstand this "farewell kiss," and the parting cheek kiss is quite deadly.
A few hot shell fragments streaked briefly in the air before falling into the deep darkness.
Mercury-core bullets are highly effective.
His favorite fighting style is to use both swords and spears, and to employ American-style iaido.
Lu Mingfei, who was keen on finishing off enemies, emptied the Desert Eagle's magazine and, incidentally, also took down the heads of the other two Deadpool bosses hiding in the next beam. Many of these monsters, those with fiercer temperaments, headed towards the mural hall or higher levels, while quite a few were still crawling towards their destination.
He looked up. The skyscraper had more than fifty floors, plus parking garage floors, equipment floors, and mezzanine floors that weren't numbered.
Genji Heavy Industries, as a complex structure combining traditional Japanese architecture with modern industry, has a large number of exposed steel frames and ventilation ducts.
Deadpool has multiple ways to climb up, and the elevator shaft that connects all the floors is one of them.
Now he's going to "dismantle the tower defenses," to "cut off the supply lines," somewhat like how he dismantles the Zerg's spikes and spores in StarCraft, but with more violence and ruthlessness. After all, Deadpool has absolutely no human rights.
More and more crimson-gold pupils lit up in the darkness, like those of snakes or other reptiles.
With a swift stroke, Lu Mingfei severed the steel cable of the elevator he was in. The saber in his hand suddenly grew longer, and this alchemical weapon seemed to sense the bloodline of its user, trembling and groaning incessantly.
The elevator shaft was filled with sharp wind noise and electric sparks; given the power outage, the wind speed here was unbelievably fast.
There are too many Deadpools at the bottom, and the falling elevator will undoubtedly crush one or two Deadpools that emerge from the bottom, and if there are many lucky ones, it may be three or four.
In a world spiraling out of control and plunging into darkness, perhaps only ghosts can pass through.
The crowd in the elevators had already been dispersed. Lu Mingfei held his breath and leaped out, slashing several times at the steel cables of the three freight elevators before finally tumbling down to the top of the VIP elevator, one of the two VIP elevators from Genji Heavy Industries.
Employees who don't use the emergency exits in this situation are simply trying to "say 'smother' to the world."
The elevator shaft became increasingly "blocked," and eventually the passageway at the bottom was temporarily sealed off by these descending alloy elevators... However, it's hard to say how long this seal will last.
In fact, what truly seals the pit is the external mechanical closure of the hydraulic buffer after it has been subjected to multiple impacts. The reduction of gaps in these heavy metal objects will leave Deadpool with insufficient space to climb.
Generally, insufficient pit depth prevents the shock absorber from fully absorbing the impact, increasing the risk of the elevator car falling. Genji Heavy Industries' elevators have a significant safety concern regarding pit depth, but the extra-large, specially designed hydraulic shock absorber at the bottom compensates for this.
It looks a bit crooked. Right now, this VIP elevator is the only one that can still operate on the middle and lower floors. The other one that can move is stopped near the top floor. This one doesn't lead to the deepest breeding pool. It operates independently for sightseeing. Cutting it down wouldn't make a difference... Lu Mingfei doesn't plan to take it to the mural hall. He has other ways to get up there.
The VIP elevator has a hidden fault at the bottom; Lu Mingfei's team was once wiped out by it.
We're staying here because this machine has external speakers.
The insertion of the wide blade on the top of the elevator car forces the VIP elevator to activate its safety mode. The yellowish light from the backup power supply illuminates, and reassuring music for passengers instantly plays.
The Japanese version of "Buddy Buddy" is playing inside, the character song for Ultraman Tiga. The melody is lyrical and warm. The next song is "Justice Buddy".
The top cover was lifted, and the sound from the speaker cabinet spread throughout the dark elevator shaft. Surrounded by monsters and amidst the dense groans of countless snakes, someone hummed softly along.
……
……
Caesar felt he was about to die.
It's amazing that I could hear the melody of a certain type of music before I died.
He's going to die, Chu Zihang is going to die, and that annoying emperor is going to die soon too.
He still has some strength, and escaping alone wouldn't be a problem, but in this situation, escaping alone is what a damn bastard's choice.
Dozens of meters away, a serpentine male Deadpool covered in raging flames pierced Chu Zihang's body with a scorching longsword; its hands were weapons that had been artificially attached to it.
The snake-like male Deadpool, wielding dual swords, severed the Deadpool companions who were entangled with Chu Zihang, then reached out and lifted the weakened Chu Zihang into the air, as if showing off and displaying his martial prowess.
The nearly four-meter-tall figure stood upright in the sea of fire, resembling the mythical serpent god Naga, its head held high, arrogant and domineering.
"Damn it! Damn it!" Caesar choked on blood as he tried to pull the trigger of his Sten submachine gun. Due to his serious injuries and fear of accidentally injuring others, the young nobleman's hand was trembling.
Of course, he wanted to smash that damned Deadpool's head in his rage—he'd never thought of it like that before. But the chance to save him was fleeting, and he absolutely couldn't allow his nemesis, who was covering their retreat, to die right before his eyes.
The ceiling decorations in the hall are completely copied from those of Buddhist temples before the 14th century, with large beams and rafters hanging from the ceiling, providing a place for birds to hide.
In the raging inferno, one after another, the ancient-style Buddha bone pillars collapsed, emitting a deafening wail as they fell, and the dust was swallowed up by layers of red waves; the flames and black smoke filled the hall, and the murals creased in the fire, the dragons and snakes in the paintings seemed to be flying.
Suddenly, a chilling sensation, like a knife being drawn, emanated from the rafters.
The newcomer descended from the sky, bringing with him the same glint of swords. Sparks and beams flew and fell with him, as if an overturned sacrificial bonfire had been ignited.
The shrine overturned, and the banners were also set ablaze by the embers.
"He's holding his head too high."
Deadpool's body stiffened, his neck dislocated and slanted downwards.
The flawless reverse-sleeve slash continued until the man descending from the sky flicked his sword, causing blood to splatter, at which point the gushing red spring finally began to flow to the left.
The oversized, cheap trench coat, which the man had previously taken off the rafters and thrown out, now landed steadily on Chu Zihang, whom he was holding.
Behind the man, the ancient painting unfurled, and the menacing black dragon in the mural sank and vanished in a sea of fire. The first thing to disappear was the pitch-black throne, and the last thing to disappear was the dragon's head, where its golden eyes burned.
His face, illuminated by the firelight, still retained a touch of childishness; elsewhere, the word "boy" would be more fitting... but here and now, he clearly appeared to be a man.
Without rushing to remove the gun from his back, Lu Mingfei, supporting Chu Zihang with one hand, performed a brutal and savage crimson blade dance amidst the dozens of death servants surrounding him. Blood blossomed, and the crimson-stained Yama's Wrathful Image was trampled underfoot.
He arrived a dozen seconds late, which made him furious. The "intoxication" effect of the overdose of evolution drug caused him to slightly misjudge the time.
Genjiro seemed to snap out of a daze. Dragging his blood-drained body, he searched for cover with his gun, not forgetting to growl at Caesar: "No wonder you dared to invade Genji Heavy Industries. Is this your headquarters' true trump card?"
"You're asking me? Which S-class is this?!"
Caesar instinctively looked up and was stunned for a moment. In this critical moment, he didn't care whether Lu Mingfei, who was not far away, was possessed by Principal Angers.
