Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Dimensional Gate

That's about five million.

Overall, it's about the same as his savings.

"Did Mr. Reigen accept the commission? This much money can be used to renovate the agency and also raise salaries." Lu Mingfei's salary wasn't much, and Mob's salary was even less.

The main reason is that Reigen Arataka charges very low prices, many times lower than other psychics of the same type. Generally, people who come here use exorcism as an excuse to get a massage. His massage techniques are top-notch in the massage industry and can make people feel refreshed.

“Of course, and they’ll even reimburse the taxi fare.” Linghuan raised an eyebrow; he had thought of a way to profit from the difference.

“It just so happens that it’s a weekend, so the extras can come along too.” He affectionately referred to Shigeo Kageyama by another name.

“Yes, Master,” Mob replied.

Needless to say, Lu Mingfei, as a shield before Mofu made his move, naturally had to go along as well.

However, it seems Reigen didn't answer whether he has a girlfriend.

Linghuan showed no intention of bringing up the topic again, and Lu Mingfei seemed to have guessed as much, so he didn't press the matter further.

"Ah, another new request." Reigen said, operating the computer.

This request came from a high school student.

He was a male high school student who had returned home after many years away from his hometown. He had only been with his childhood friend for a few days when he disappeared while picking up trash with her at the beach. The high school student searched for many days without success and could only seek help from some spiritual beings. He found a webpage created by Reigen Arataka online and posted it.

Reigen Arataka sifted through many posts that weren't very informative, some of which praised him as a "psychic," while many more were seeking his help.

Only this boy's post seemed urgent, so I accepted it.

Since the high school boy's location was far from their office, and it was a search for someone, it might take a long time. Reigen considered that Mob was a middle school student, and it wouldn't be good for him to go home too late.

"Mingfei, come with me." Linghuan closed the webpage.

Lu Mingfei was used to being asked to exorcise spirits. Most of the time, exorcisms didn't yield any items; the spirits were mostly just resentful ones, and although they had thoughts, they were only shallow ones.

Spirits with independent thinking, like the Eight-Foot Elder and Sadako, are rare.

The slit-mouthed woman I eliminated last time didn't drop any items, allowing the Eight-Foot Master to absorb a lot of spiritual energy.

He was thinking about how to acquire "Power". Mob's power was never trained, and he often suppressed his incredibly powerful strength.

This has been causing Lu Mingfei a lot of distress.

As for evil spirits like Little Dimple, they can become stronger simply by absorbing spiritual essence.

Humans, you know...

The only method Lu Mingfei knows right now is daily psychodynamic weight training; it's the only method available at the moment.

"Knock knock." There was a knock on the office door.

Reigen Arataka was somewhat surprised. Even after the website was launched, there were only a few requests a day, and at most no more than ten. Most of them were massage requests, which he could handle on his own.

The client walked in; he looked somewhat haggard.

He sat down in front of Reigen Arataka, who was dressed in formal attire, to confirm his identity.

Then he stated his request.

He's been cursed lately, and bad luck keeps happening to him, but it's nothing serious, like slipping on a banana peel and tripping, or getting soaked in a sudden downpour.

He often fails at work and there is no harmony among his colleagues.

He must be absolutely cursed.

Reigen Arataka used his persuasive skills to "convince" him to give him a massage. The client felt refreshed and his face became rosy, but his forehead was still dark.

Lu Mingfei reminded Reigen Arataka that this was a real curse, thus saving face for him in front of Mob.

Mob sat next to him, eating the takoyaki he had just bought, his expression still almost blank as he looked at Reigen Arataka, whose attitude had just changed.

For some reason, Lu Mingfei had a feeling that Mob knew Reigen Arataka's background.

He couldn't ask about the specifics of the master and apprentice's situation, nor could he say anything, since he was the third party who had come between them.

"Regarding your curse, it hasn't been completely eradicated yet. We need to investigate the places where you live in daily life," Reigen Arataka said.

"Will there be any further charges?" the client asked.

"No, it's just that it's too late today. Today can alleviate your curse for a while, but it will have to wait until tomorrow to be completely removed," Reigen Arataka declined.

"I am so grateful to Master Reigen. After your 'removal,' I feel like I've come back to life and can get back to work." Despite being plagued by the curse, the client was in high spirits, a testament to Reigen Arataka's great contribution.

Reigen Arataka pondered what to do next.

Taking on two projects at the same time requires careful scheduling; otherwise, conflicts will make both clients unhappy.

"Mingfei, go help that high school boy. If it's just about finding someone, it shouldn't be a big problem. I'll go with Longtao to deal with the curse. I believe you can do it."

Reigen Shinryu gave Lu Mingfei a trusting look.

The trusting gaze was one of the biggest driving forces behind Lu Mingfei's actions. Only a few people had given him such a gaze. Liu Yanyan was the first one, followed by Nuwa and Chu Zihang.

"Just you wait and see, I won't come back if I don't finish!" Lu Mingfei promised confidently.

How can I let down the people who trust me?

"Don't push yourself. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, call me." Reigen Shinryu knew that Lu Mingfei was no ordinary extra; he had actually killed people, and the amount of blood on his hands was probably more than the amount of tea he had drunk.

But Lu Mingfei wouldn't kill easily unless someone crossed his line; he was clear about that.

But this Achilles' heel wasn't here at all, so he wasn't too worried.

The next day.

Linghuan Xinlong reimbursed Lu Mingfei's travel expenses, and he took a boat to a small island.

This is a small island with a special belief system, which is said to worship sea creatures.

Lu Mingfei found the high school boy. He was standing on the dock, one hand supporting his chin, the other holding up a sign for Linghuan. He was thin and had a serious expression, standing there like a stone sculpture.

"Shen Ping, right?"

"Yes, are you Ming Feijun, Mr. Linghuan's disciple?"

Shen Ping put down the sign and led Lu Mingfei forward, beginning to describe what had happened earlier.

“A while ago was our annual festival, where we go to the beach to collect trash and burn it. We were collecting trash as usual that day, but we saw someone who looked exactly like us. When I realized it, she had disappeared. I have been searching for her for days without any success.”

Lu Mingfei noticed that the boy named Shen Ping's eyes were bloodshot and his heavy eye bags suggested that he hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.

"Take me to the crime scene, and I'll do my best to help you."

Chapter 231 Is this what you call gentleness?

On the beach, Shen Ping recounted everything that had happened.

The island wasn't very big, and the islanders were all familiar with each other. The fact that a grown man had just disappeared like that made everyone quite anxious.

Shen Ping organized a team to mobilize everyone on the island to search for his childhood sweetheart, but several days passed and they didn't even see a trace of her.

Everyone else thought the girl had been swept away by the waves.

Only the boy still believed that the girl was alive. Every day he would go to the place where the girl disappeared to search for her. Even though he knew he couldn't find her there, he would still keep searching, hoping for a miracle.

Shen Ping stood on the beach, looking directly at Lu Mingfei, who was about the same age as him. Time had worn away his sadness, leaving only a lonely calm. His eyes held questions, but deep within them lay sorrow.

Lu Mingfei did not respond to the boy's haggard gaze. He was only good at exorcising spirits, and after losing his dragon blood, his self-healing ability dropped drastically, only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person. He also avoided fighting as much as possible, and any missing limbs would not grow back.

"I can't guarantee that I'll find you a girlfriend."

"She's not my girlfriend yet," Shen Ping corrected.

Lu Mingfei was somewhat surprised, "You...she's your childhood sweetheart, you grew up together, aren't you boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Does being childhood sweethearts mean you have to be boyfriend and girlfriend?" Shen Ping countered.

Lu Mingfei was stumped by the question and remained speechless.

These two may be more than friends but less than lovers.

"Did you search in the sea?" As someone who only met pretty girls later in life, he felt helpless about this question and had no choice but to change the subject.

“I’m not a good swimmer. I just asked a few people to search for me in the sea on the day I went missing, and to search along the ocean currents, but we still found nothing. It was as if I had vanished into thin air.”

"Since you've already determined that she's not around here, why do you insist on searching for her here?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"I don't know... I just feel, what if, what if she comes back and I'm not here to notice her changes in time, to treat her in time, to take care of her in time? I just want to see her as soon as possible..."

As Lu Mingfei listened to Shen Ping's tone, he felt as if he were hallucinating. He squinted hard to make sure he was seeing the scene before him.

He was still somewhat unaccustomed to traveling back and forth, as the customs and cultures of these worlds were not the same.

He couldn't give the boy any assurance that he would be found. It was a small island, not very big, but the person had disappeared on the beach, and the sea was vast and boundless.

Lu Mingfei felt he had gathered enough information and reviewed the girl's appearance again. She was a blonde, blue-eyed girl, quite gentle, and of medium height.

Close your eyes, relax your mind, and begin to sense.

Perception extends in all directions.

If normal methods can't find it, it might be interference from supernatural forces. This is a world with telekinesis and psychic abilities, as well as various powerful evil spirits. It wouldn't be difficult for them to influence a normal girl.

Shen Ping waited calmly.

Time passed little by little.

Lu Mingfei suddenly opened his eyes and rubbed his temples.

He took two small bottles out of his waist and opened them.

Two eerie chills emanated from the bottle's mouth, rushing in a certain direction.

Just now, Shen Ping felt as if he were in an ice cave. When he turned his head, he saw two extremely terrifying things flying away from Lu Mingfei.

He now doubts whether Lu Mingfei is a legitimate psychic.

Remaining calm and composed, she maintained the same intimacy as when they first met, while harboring a sense of wariness deep down.

"Are there any urban legends or tales on your island?" Lu Mingfei asked thoughtfully.

This kind of thing is most likely to gain momentum in this world; it relies on intense and easily generated emotions such as fear or disgust to become powerful.

The saying goes, "Three men can make a tiger." With enough people, even a small, insignificant thing can quickly grow into an evil spirit or a bound spirit capable of harming others.

"Legend has it... that the razor clams on the island are diviners?"
