Dragon Raja: Back from Tiling, My Mother Lu Mingfei

boom!

The gunshots came without warning.

Professor Guderian, who was walking in front, suddenly had a bloody hole explode in his back, and blood splattered all over the ground.

The old man lowered his head, looked at the hole in his chest from which blood was gushing out, and collapsed heavily to the ground with a thud.

Lu Mingfei was completely dumbfounded.

"Professor...?!"

He instinctively tried to rush forward, but Huai Xu reacted quickly, grabbing him by the back of his collar and dragging him behind a nearby flower bed.

"Are you fucking insane?!"

"But the professor... he was hit! He bled a lot!"

"Whether you rush in or not, he'll bleed; whether you rush in or not, you'll bleed too. Which would you choose?"

Lu Mingfei found that what Huai Xu said seemed to make some sense.

"What on earth happened?! Who fired the shot?! Why kill the professor?!"

"have no idea."

Huai Xu peeked out, then quickly withdrew.

At the other end of the corridor, a dozen or so heavily armed figures stood indistinctly. Their faces were obscured, but the guns in their hands were clearly visible, all pointed in their direction.

"There's an ambush."

"We just got here! I don't even know where the cafeteria is!"

"Maybe they don't like newcomers."

"There's no need to fire a shot, is there?!"

Huai Xu didn't reply, instead observing his surroundings.

This is Kassel College's annual day of program freedom.

The annual showdown between the Lionheart Society and the Student Council used only Friga bullets, which would spurt blood when they hit people, but were actually anesthetics; they would wake up after a nap.

But Lu Mingfei didn't know that.

In this guy's mind, that shot was a live bullet, and Professor Guderian was dead. Now a group of assassins with guns were approaching, and they would be next to die.

Looking at Lu Mingfei's terrified expression, Huai Xu almost couldn't suppress his smile.

Just as he was figuring out how to cause trouble, a cold gun barrel was pressed against the back of Huai Xu's head.

"Don't move."

It was a female voice.

Huai Xu slowly turned his head.

Red hair, four-leaf clover earrings.

Nono.

A smug smile played on her lips.

"The Sophora japonica, right?"

"it's me."

"Remember what happened in the women's restroom?"

"I don't remember."

"It's okay, as long as I remember."

Nono tilted her head, tapped the gun against his head, and said, "What goes around comes around, didn't expect that, did you?"

Lu Mingfei, standing nearby, became anxious. "Who are you? Why are you trying to kill us?"

Nono glanced at him. "Lu Mingfei, right? Don't worry, we'll deal with you later."

"I have a personal grudge against this kid, so I'll settle it today."

Lu Mingfei looked at Nuonuo, then at Huai Xu, and asked, "What exactly is your grudge against her?"

"I gave her a talking-to in the women's restroom earlier."

"You went into the women's restroom?!"

"No, she went into the women's restroom."

"What's it to you?"

"Because I was in the women's restroom too."

"..."

Lu Mingfei felt that his brain was not working properly.

"Never mind, that's not important."

Lu Mingfei shook his head. "The important thing is that you put down your gun and talk things out. Professor Guderian has been attacked, and we really don't know what happened. There must be some misunderstanding—"

"Misunderstand?"

Nono smiled and said, "There's no misunderstanding between us."

Huai Xu looked at the gun barrel so close to him, but he was actually quite calm.

Anesthetic bullet.

You won't die.

But collapsing like this isn't impossible, it just doesn't fit his plan.

Ghost ideas are being generated...

The "confession" begins.

One second Huai Xu was grinning and joking, his eyes frivolous, like a frivolous street thug.

The next second, those eyes were filled with melancholy, desolation, and a hint of hidden pain.

Nono was stunned for a moment.

"All those past events..."

Huai Xu spoke.

"You don't remember anything?"

Nono's hand trembled slightly.

Looking into Huai Xu's eyes, she suddenly felt that the outline of the person in front of her had become blurred.

What did she see?

She herself couldn't explain it clearly.

It seemed to be a very, very long road, with white flowers growing on both sides.

It seemed to be a very dark night, with no stars in the sky, only a moon.

It sounded like a very soft voice calling her name.

again and again.

"Nono."

"Nono."

"Nono."

That voice...

The voice speaking to the person in front of me is exactly the same.

Nono shook her head, trying to shake off the inexplicable images in her mind.

"The past?...You mean the past...?"

She paused.

"Wait a minute? Who the hell has a past with you?!"

Huai Xu's gaze dimmed, and he shook his head with a bitter smile on his lips.

"No further words, please act quickly."

Nono looked at him, her hand holding the gun hovering in mid-air, not pulling the trigger for a long time.

Why is this kid so weird?

For a fleeting moment, she actually believed that she and he had some kind of past.

Words of power?

wrong.

The vice-principal's rules are in effect; no one within the entire Kassel College area can use the power of words.

So how exactly did he do it?

Hypnosis? Psychological suggestion? Or some other method she was unaware of?

Nono gritted her teeth.

No, we can't let this kid lead us by the nose.

Whatever the shady dealings, let's take him down first and deal with the rest later.

She took a deep breath and pulled the trigger.

Click.

There was no sound.

Nono paused for a fraction of a second, then pressed the button again.

Click.

Still no sound.

How is that possible? She just checked it, how could it get stuck?!

Huai Xu's lips slowly curled up.

The "gift from heaven" given by Su Xiaoqiang.

The SSR-level affix has the effect of "When you are in a dangerous situation, there is a certain probability of triggering a rescue event from above".

The specific manifestation is random.

It could be a powerful figure passing by, an unexpected change in weather, or perhaps... your gun is out of bullets!

Huai Xu didn't give Nuonuo time to react.

He grabbed her wrist, twisted it outwards, and used the force to flip her over.

Nuonuo was immediately pinned to the ground by Huai Xu, and the gun slipped from her hand.

Huai Xu picked up the gun and, without saying a word, fired a shot at Nuonuo's buttocks.

boom--

"Ah~"

Nono's body stiffened abruptly, and then she stopped moving.

He lay on the ground, his face pressed against the earth, in a very peaceful posture.

Lu Mingfei watched all this from the side, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Huai...Huai Xu..."

"Um?"

"You...you...you killed..."

"Yes, kill him."

Huai Xu squatted down, fired another shot at Nuonuo's forehead, then stood up and helped Lu Mingfei up from the ground.

"Walk."

"Go? Where to?! You killed someone, do you even know that?!"

"Know."

"You're still so calm knowing that?!"

"Because if I hadn't killed her, we would be the ones lying on the ground now."

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, glanced at Professor Guderian lying on the ground, then at Nono's "corpse," and fell silent.

The professor died. That pretty senior student also died.

Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, Huai Xu was right about one thing—if Huai Xu hadn't made his move, the two of them would be dead now.

"I just feel..." Lu Mingfei looked at Nuonuo, hesitating to speak.

"Hey."

Huai Xu interrupted him, his expression suddenly turning serious.

"Mom, listen to me."

"What?"

"We can suppress our sexuality, but we can't live without rice noodles, you know?"

"What kind of rice noodles? Guilin rice noodles?"

"The bottom line. The bottom line of conscience."

Lu Mingfei nodded. "I know that, but why are you bringing it up?"

"Looking at that senior's corpse now, doesn't something seem off?"

Lu Mingfei glanced at Nuonuo again, hesitated for a moment, and said, "There is a little bit..."

"Is there something?"

"Well... even though she's dead, she was still... quite beautiful..."

"right."

Huai Xu patted his shoulder. "But Mom, let me tell you, even though she's still warm, you can't do that kind of thing. At least not in public, right? At least wait until night when no one's around..."
