Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Sekiro

He closed his eyes and felt the cold air.

“Brother, you have chosen a different path, but that path is much more difficult.”

The next instant, he suddenly opened his eyes, and the black snake swooped down straight down like a meteorite.

Its massive body fanned out all the wind and snow.

The doctor was blown to the ground by the air pressure. His hands trembled, not from fear, but from excitement. How could he not worship the great life that had appeared before him?

Lu Mingze lightly jumped, landing on the snow from the top of the black snake's head.

The black snake curled up and lay on the ground like a puppy.

"It's you! It's you! It's you!" Dr. Herzog screamed menacingly. "How dare you step on God's head! How dare you step on God's head!"

He kept shouting, as if he had gone mad.

However, the only response he received was the blade piercing his body.

"You vile insect." Lu Mingze took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood-stained wedge-shaped pill clean, then stepped on the doctor's head, which was not quite dead yet.

“Remember this face well.” He took out a photo, pointed to the blank-minded person in it, and said, “When you see us again, you will hear the noblest music in the world, and the most intense fire will burn your sinful body. But unfortunately, your sins are too heavy, and you can only meet your end with destruction.”

The doctor's breathing became rapid, his vision blurred, the knife pierced his lung, he felt as if an iron whip was binding his heart, the sharp point embedded in his bright red, beating heart, someone was pulling hard, turning his internal organs into a puddle of mud.

Herzog dug marks into the snow with his hands, tears and snot streaming down his face, looking utterly disheveled.

Lu Mingze ignored the struggling bug, sheathed the wedge-shaped sword, placed the three embryos together, and finally put the sword next to the embryos.

His eyes remained fixed on the frozen embryo, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be pouting, as if he were a little unhappy.

The world began to become transparent and blurry, with specks of light emanating from everyone, making everything seem dreamlike...

...

Japan, Genji Heavy Industries.

Erii Uesugi woke up from her dream and sat by the window, gazing at the telephone poles below.

The weather was lovely today, and the golden sunlight shone on her face, making her glow. She sat in the corridor, where someone had laid out a red picnic blanket on the ground. Barbie dolls, Rilakkuma, and Yoda sat around her, but the seat next to her was empty, with half a cherry blossom mochi left uneaten.

After that day, she loved sitting here and enjoying the scenery. She would stay longer when it rained, and go home early when the sun came out.

Genji added a balcony to Erii's room, but she still preferred to squat and sit in the hallway.

No one is allowed to pass through this corridor, and guards are stationed on both sides at all times to ensure that the Uesugi family head's afternoon tea time is not disturbed.

In a dark room in the building's drainpipe, a person wakes up in a cold sweat.

He was panting heavily, his hands groping around on his body. After a while, he finally calmed down, stood in front of the mirror, adjusted his expression, and became dignified.

But the next instant, a sharp pain shot through his heart and lungs, and he collapsed to the ground, stretching out his hands as if he were drowning.

He was in so much pain that tears and snot streamed down his face. He screamed in agony, rolling and thrashing on the ground. He crashed into the transparent glass water tank, the syringe, and the glass medicine bottle on the ground.

In the darkness, his expression was ferocious and terrified.

"He's back! He's back! He's going to drag me into hell!"

"I won't let you succeed! I won't let you succeed! I will sit on the throne! I will sit on the throne!"

"Ah!!!" he screamed in agony.

......

At Kassel College, Lu Mingfei opened his eyes and felt a warm touch on his shoulder.

A girl, as cold as ice, leaned on his shoulder.

The two sat on the bench, snuggling together, like a brother and sister with a very good relationship.

Why aren't they a couple? Because the girl is too petite, her flat figure is like a child's, and she's holding an adorable teddy bear, the kind little girl would hug.

The girl's eyelids trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes.

She looked at the teddy bear in her arms, a slight smile playing on her lips.

“Renata?” Lu Mingfei asked.

"No, my name is Zero." The girl in pure white stood up, leaving behind a tall and straight figure.

Although she was short, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but look up at her back.

Without hesitation, she headed towards the garden exit and disappeared into the vine-covered wall.

Lu Mingfei also stood up. He reached for his waist and grabbed the hilt of the Wedge Maru, and... a Maklov pistol.

"Wait!" He jumped off the bench to look for the girl, but when he got to the garden gate, a burly man blocked his way.

"Junior brother, so you've been here all along!" Fingel patted him on the shoulder. "I've been looking for you for so long, I've missed you so much, my good brother."

Fingel gave him a big bear hug, lifting him up like an eagle catching a chick.

"Holy crap, what are you doing? Put me down!" Lu Mingfei shouted.

“I’m celebrating our day of freedom as victors!” Fingel put him down. “You’re a big celebrity now, everyone’s looking for you.”

"Quick, come back to the dorm with me first, or we'll be in big trouble if someone sees us. You won't get any food tonight. Those crazy upperclassmen will corner us and throw stockings and bras in your face."

"It was a real struggle for me to escape."

"Wait? What senior? And what's with the stockings and bra? What are you talking about?! I don't understand!" Lu Mingfei shouted.

“We’ll talk about it when we get back. I’ve already put your luggage in the dorm and set up your computer. Old Tang just messaged me to let us log on.” Fingel pulled Lu Mingfei forward: “Let’s play a couple of games first, then we’ll talk.”

Lu Mingfei was dragged to the side of the dormitory building, and they peeked out from the bushes.

They moved cautiously along the way, almost like they were playing a stealth game. Whenever Fingel saw a pretty senior, he would pull her aside.

"No, senior brother, why should we hide from pretty older sisters?" Lu Mingfei asked in a low voice.

“If you show your face, they’ll eat you up. You’ll see.” Fingel pointed to a banyan tree next to the dormitory building.

“There’s one hiding behind that tree, and two in the tree.” Fingel pointed to a bench next to him, where a blonde, long-legged hottie was reading a magazine. “That girl, I saw her there when I went out this afternoon, and she’s still flipping through that page.”

“Don’t underestimate the students of Kassel College; we are all professionally trained,” Fingel said proudly, patting his chest.

Chapter Sixty-Six Hunter Website

Old Tang sat up abruptly, opened his eyes in the afternoon sunlight, breathing rapidly, his whole body covered in cold sweat, and heard the noise of the elevated light rail passing by outside.

He suddenly found the voice so pleasant, reminding him that everything in his dream was fake, and that he was just living in an ordinary human world.

He had a dream in which an ancient city was burning, and a child was hung on a high pole by a crowd of people, the flames of the entire city scorching him.

A charred human figure runs through the flames, and a huge plaque burns and falls, with the words "White Emperor" still faintly visible on it.

"I'm leaving now, brother."

Old Tang suddenly turned around and looked behind him. There was nothing there except half a bag of cherry blossom cakes, a gift that Lu Mingfei had given him on his first day.

"Phew, I guess I've been staying up too late these past few days." He shook his head, got off the bed, put on his turquoise flip-flops, and washed his face with cold water.

The face in the mirror was unshaven, with a corner of his hair sticking up. He wet it a little, pressed his hair down, and took out a cherry blossom mochi wrapped in oil paper from the bag.

Sitting in front of his square-headed computer, he opened a mysterious website and took a bite of a cherry blossom mochi.

The Hunter website, nobody knows who created it. You can register as a hunter, accept missions and earn bounties. Have you seen "Hunter x Hunter"? Just like the Nen users who obtained hunter licenses in the show, Old Tang is similar to them. He also has special abilities and is a hunter.

He was an expert in this field, having previously taken on jobs exploring ancient tombs in the desert or shipwrecks in icy seas. Every place was eerie, and Lady Luck was always on his side. He overcame all the difficulties, and there were always some coincidences.

But don't get me wrong, his special ability isn't luck. He doesn't know how to explain it either, but any animal that sees him will always be scared away.

From small puppies in the pet market to glaring tigers in the zoo, everyone keeps their distance from him. Perhaps he's just bad luck, like how even the bravest person wouldn't want to grab a little white rabbit covered in poop.

This line of work is entirely about money. He's the kind of guy who's self-reliant and has no other special skills, but he can't stand living off social welfare.

The tasks on the website often offer good rewards, but once he accepts a task, he won't take on another one until he runs out of money.

My usual routine is to go to the Chinese community to play mahjong with people, or to meet up with Lu Mingfei for a game of StarCraft. Now, I've added Fingel to the mix.

His days gradually became more fulfilling, but he was running out of money. Fortunately, Lu Mingfei threw away a bag of cherry blossom cakes before leaving, otherwise he would probably be on his way to a mission by now.

"Let me see, are there any good tasks?" He moved his mouse across the webpage.

[Task: Deliver Documents]

Risk level: Low

[Mission Requirements: Transport secret paper documents from New York to a location in Chicago. The specific location and time will be discussed after accepting the mission.]

[Minimum number of tasks required for the recipient: 3]

[Reward for the task: US$10,000]

Old Tang's eyes lit up, and he immediately clicked to accept the mission.

Delivery missions are usually accepted by groups because they usually involve transporting valuable items. In this case, the hunter team becomes a caravan. But this mission is different; it only requires the delivery of documents.

If the number of documents is not large, he can easily complete them by himself, and his appearance is inconspicuous, even somewhat comical, making him even less likely to be noticed when walking on the street.

He happens to live in New York, and Lu Mingfei and Finger's school seems to be in Chicago. After completing his mission, he can also go there for a while, get some people together, and play mahjong all night. That would be great.

“I’m a lone hunter, this is my mission resume, do you think I can accept this mission?” He sent his information over.

After a few seconds of pause, the other party sent a message.

"Sure, someone will put the documents in mailbox 32 Brook Street at 2 PM the day after tomorrow. You can pick them up then. We will contact you through this account later to tell you the exact location."

"Ok."

"Lucky!" Old Tang shut down the hunter website.

The $10,000 has been frozen on the website. Once he completes the task, he can withdraw the money to his account. Although the website will charge a 2% handling fee, the remaining money will be enough for him to squander for a while.

These kinds of tasks are always in high demand, and he was really lucky. He logged on just in time for the task to be released. If he had been any slower, someone else would have definitely snatched it up.

This is practically food being fed to you!

"Get online now! Call that kid Lu Mingfei!" Old Tang messaged Fingel on QQ. "I'm ready to wreak havoc!"

Last night, Fingel said that Lu Mingfei couldn't stay up all night and passed out and went to sleep. This morning, he played a few rounds of StarCraft with Fingel, and after taking a nap, his addiction returned.
