Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Sekiro

"No, brother, I told you, this is an escape game." Lu Mingze appeared in front of him at some point.

Time seemed to stand still. The missile's speed slowed to a snail's pace. The lieutenant's mouth could be seen opening slowly as his finger pressed against the trigger.

"You're here again. Is this a farewell to me?" Lu Mingfei said. "Don't make me play this kind of game in the next life, it really will kill me."

The pain in his thigh from the bullet was intense. Although he didn't show it on his face, it was real. He knew this pain all too well, so he knew clearly that it wasn't an illusion or a dream.

“Brother, I bet one day you’ll ask me to play games with you.” Lu Mingze smiled, and skeletal wings broke through his back, lifting him into the air.

Lu Mingze spread his arms, like Jesus bound to the cross. A surging black aura spewed from his eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears, converging together and coiling around his body like a venomous snake, flowing at high speed.

"Brother, you are amazing! You have gained new power. I am truly humbled."

He sang alone, his voice resounding through heaven and earth: "When that thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations of the four corners of the earth, namely Gog and Mag, and will gather them together for war, and their numbers will be as numerous as the sand of the sea."

"Get up, you beast!" He suddenly opened his eyes, his golden pupils illuminating half the night sky.

The sky beneath the pillar of fire seemed to rise from the sun, half the firmament a dazzling gold! The atmosphere trembled, and ten thousand devout nuns chanted hymns, like ten million thunderbolts rolling across the night sky.

The golden light even overwhelmed the light of the pillar of fire. The bones beneath the ice crackled and popped. Golden flames leaped from the tightly closed right eye. This cage could no longer hold it!

With a ghostly blue breath, its outstretched wings blotted out the sky and the stars!

It is announcing its return!

Let me analyze the clues for readers who haven't read the original novel.

黑天鹅港事件发生在1991年，与现在2009年相差18年（路明非09年满18岁）。

In this part of the story, Lu Mingfei takes someone else's place, while the others are either ghosts returning from the dead or pulled from reality into that burning Christmas night.

In other words, Lu Mingfei experienced something that had already happened.

I will only analyze the obvious things. Both Renata herself and the person Lu Mingfei replaced were experimental subjects of hybrid species being studied. Underground in Black Swan Harbor, there is a complete ancient dragon skeleton, and the doctor is studying the ancient dragon skeleton and the power of hybrid species.

Only a few people escaped from the original Black Swan Harbor.

Bondarev is a mysterious figure. He comes to Black Swan Harbor and makes a deal with the Doctor, saying that he will use two billion to fund the Doctor's research on super soldiers. In a private capacity, they decide to destroy everything, use hallucinogens to drug everyone in a trance, and then use a fire to lure fighter jets to carry out the "Death of the Swan," so that they can completely escape and disappear without a trace.

But on that night in 1991, Bondarev shot the doctor. What he really wanted was the skeleton of the ancient dragon. He lied to the doctor, saying that science and technology could not blast open the permafrost, but in fact he brought a powerful engineering mine that could retrieve the ancient dragon's skeleton and transport it to the Lenin.

Renata escaped with someone's help. It's quite clear now that she's called Zero, and the room where Lu Mingfei is being held is Room Zero. All the children here are referred to by numbers.

There are three main storylines: Renata, the Doctor, and Lu Mingfei, all of whom are outsiders.

Renata, also known as Zero, came on a mission. She had her own goal: to escape with "Zero," who was Lu Mingfei, who replaced "Zero." She knew the bomb would be detonated and that "Zero" had escaped from the prison. However, she had reverted to her childlike form, with very little and weak strength, and could only rely on experience to proceed step by step.

Those food supplies, vehicles, and weapons were prepared by her own hands when she was a young child in 1991.

So when she saw Zorro the bear, she said, "Long time no see."

Furthermore, because she hadn't removed the transmitter from the dog in the past, she had faced a near-death experience, and the anti-aircraft machine gun bullets even jammed.

The doctor knew Bondarev was lying to him, but in 1991 he was powerless to fight back, so he released an increased dose of hallucinogen in advance, hoping to drug Bondarev and extract more secrets from him. However, the plan failed, and he could only sneak away and detonate the bomb in advance, hoping to kill Bondarev.

Although Lu Mingfei was unaware of everything, an unease drove him to flee, and when he saw Renata, he felt a sense of familiarity.

Everyone returned to their original state, devoid of all worldly possessions, except for Lu Mingfei, because the origin of this instance came from the combined effect of his and Lu Mingze's words of power.

The story unfolds in this way. Because several new characters are introduced at once, and three storylines are written simultaneously, it can be quite difficult to understand if you haven't read the original work.

For those who haven't read it, you can just focus on Lu Mingfei's storyline. He's also completely bewildered, and the main perspective is on him and the lieutenant. The other characters are deeply involved, and their stories will be revealed in later chapters.

Lu Mingfei's power of words is not to modify history, but to make the illusion created by Lu Mingze real. It also has an additional effect: it creates a temporary small world during the time the illusion is in progress. Lu Mingze can interfere with the small world to some extent, but he cannot completely control it. There is too much to say about this power of words, so we will understand it in the specific uses later.

This part of the story is more like a "prologue". The original Black Swan Harbor storyline is quite interesting, about 3 words long. It is an independent side story prologue with many hints. The entire origin of Dragon Ball III is due to this event.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Spanking the Younger Brother

That was majesty! Awe-inspiring majesty! Like a god descending to earth, capable of overwhelming humanity with a single breath!

It roared silently as it glided through the blizzard, the shockwave cleaving through the white storm, the sonic cone flashing by – proof that it had broken the sound barrier!

The black shadow pierced through the wind and snow, sweeping everything into the sky and revealing the hard ice layer underneath!

It's a sharp blade! A dagger! It pierces and cuts through anything that stands in its way!

Black liquid flowed from its golden eyes, covering its back like parasitic venom.

The missile accelerated again, and the lieutenant roared, but the bullet hit the black object.

Renata's eyes gleamed with joy. She put down the bullets she was loading and called out its name: "Black Serpent!"

A crippled dragon, lightning flashing between its teeth, its iron scales playing a world-destroying melody, has regained its great life at the call of the Great Lord.

The rockets struck its iron scales, exploding with sparks and smoke. It resembled a cocoon, its wings folded up, completely obscuring the sled.

After everything calmed down, it darted through the bright light and pounced on the Su-27, like an eagle swooping down on a swift; it was born to be a predator.

“God…” The lieutenant’s hand fell limply to his side as he looked at the great being in the sky and sighed.

"God..." someone in the distance exclaimed in the same way.

The doctor's sleigh stopped in place, and even though he was several kilometers away, he could still see the magnificent dance music in the sky.

The fighter jet exploded and shattered into pieces as it fell to the ground.

The life and greatness he sought were right before him; how could he not pray?

"White Stork, I remember now!" The Swift, still making its emergency landing, spoke into the deserted communication channel. His hands trembled as he jerked the control stick. "We were killed by God long ago!"

The Swift fighter jet rose high into the air, then plummeted straight down like a diving fish, nose down. The Swift unfastened its oxygen mask, closed its eyes, and clasped its hands in front of its chest as if in prayer.

"I confess to Almighty God and to all my fellow believers that I have sinned in my thoughts, words and deeds. I sin, I sin, my grave sin. Therefore, I implore the Blessed Virgin Mary, the angels, the saints, and all of you fellow believers to pray for me to the Lord our God."

The swift pounded its chest and, amidst the explosion, uttered its final words: "Amen."

The towering bone dragon lowered its head, paying homage to the noble being.

"Well done, little blackie." Lu Mingze turned back into the little boy, his movements like stroking his little kitten. Renata skipped over and pressed her face against the bone dragon's glossy black scales.

Lu Mingfei walked over and stroked "Little Blackie's" head.

"What is it?" Lu Mingfei asked.

“Our pet, brother,” Lu Mingze replied with a smile.

“It’s a black snake, and it’s my friend,” Renata said.

"Who exactly are you?" Lu Mingfei walked to Lu Mingze's side and vigorously rubbed his round face, squeezing it out of shape.

It feels great, soft and tender to the touch. No matter how you squeeze it, it doesn't look like a monster or a dragonborn with scales that can use dragon roars.

Lu Mingze brushed his hand away, shook his face, straightened his suit, and moved far away from Lu Mingfei. After regaining his smug expression, he said, "I'm your younger brother, older brother."

"You're still going to lie, huh!" Lu Mingfei patted his clothes, twisting his knuckles until they cracked. "If you don't tell the truth, I'm going to spank you right now!"

The two brothers ran playfully around the sled in the snow. The blizzard stopped, and snowflakes fell on their heads like goose feathers.

Strangely enough, Lu Mingfei's thigh suddenly stopped hurting.

Just then, the sound of barking dogs came from afar; they were the sled dogs that Renata had released.

The puppies stood at a distance, barking, their eyes fixed on Renata. They seemed unafraid of the dragon's majesty, but rather worried about the safety of the blonde little girl.

Renata blew her whistle, picked up Zorro, and went over to hug the dogs.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, and the dogs licked them clean with their tongues.

Lu Mingfei finally caught Lu Mingze. He lifted the little brat up horizontally, sat cross-legged on the snow, placed the guy on his lap, and spread his big hand with five fingers, looking like he was about to slap him.

"Brother, can I borrow your knife for a moment?" Lu Mingze looked at Lu Mingfei pitifully.

"Let me play for a bit, and I'll lend it to you?"

Is it absolutely necessary to do it this way?

"It has to be this way."

"Then...you do it." Lu Mingze closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate.

"Catch it!" Lu Mingfei swung his hand down forcefully, creating a gust of wind.

Just as the hand was about to pat Lu Mingze's butt, it changed course again and flicked Lu Mingze's forehead.

"Idiot." Lu Mingfei took the wedge-shaped weapon from his waist and handed it to Lu Mingze.

"Take it and use it, but don't torture your older brother next time." He gently stroked Lu Mingze's head.

This knife was originally entrusted to him by someone else.

He searched online for a very long time but couldn't find a single trace. He even went to Japan but couldn't get any information.

He didn't have many friends. Fingel and Old Tang were his only friends, and Nono was barely one. The chubby boy was a relative, but the only one who seemed like family was the illusory little boy on his lap.

Having experienced Ashina, he didn't have any particular feelings about this escape game.

When they were chasing each other in the snow, he didn't exert any force at all. The two of them had an unspoken understanding, as if it were a tacit understanding honed over many years.

"Are you really my brother?" Lu Mingfei looked up at the sky.

"Mm." Lu Mingze put away his smug smile and responded softly.

"Fine, then I really am your brother." Lu Mingfei shouted, shoving Lu Mingze up. "If you ever do this kind of thing to your brother again, I'm going to pull down your pants and spank you in front of everyone!"

"Go ahead, go ahead." Lu Mingfei helped Lu Mingze get dressed and straightened his tie. "Do whatever you want. Remember, if you need anything, ask your brother. Don't try to handle things alone."

Lu Mingze didn't speak again. He stood on top of the black snake's head, holding the knife. His gaze was ancient and stern, yet it also revealed loneliness and sorrow. His eyes were fixed on Lu Mingfei's face.

The black dragon spread its wings, soared into the sky, and disappeared before their eyes.

The world began to become transparent. The wounded lieutenant gasped for breath, and the dogs barked incessantly. Their bodies began to become transparent as well.

Lu Mingfei sensed something was wrong. He walked over to the lieutenant, took the man's hand, and helped him stand up.

The lieutenant gave him a thumbs-up, patted the Maklov pistol on Lu Mingfei's waist, stood ramrod straight, and gave a military salute.

A smile played on his lips, just like the smile he had when he first joined the army many years ago.

Chapter Sixty-Five Senior Sister

Lu Mingze lay on the black snake's head, his hair still being blown by the wind.
