Lu Mingfei quickly scanned the text, trying to think with his brain, which hadn't taken many tracking classes and wasn't very good at it, but unfortunately, he couldn't come up with anything. He could only listen attentively to his seniors' analysis.
"How are you so sure no one helped her hide? And how are you sure she's still in Tokyo?" Caesar asked. "And how did you search Tokyo? It's such a big city; it's easy for someone to slip through the net."
"Sakurai Kogure used to be a member of the Oni Clan. Later, the Oni Clan and the Hebi-Hachi family merged, and she was also recruited. But over the years, she has no friends and no one close to her."
“Through Kaguya’s investigation, it was found that she had severed ties with all her blood relatives, and there were no contacts in her phone with whom she could be considered on good terms. Under these circumstances, no one would choose to help her, because that would mean going against the Snake-Headed Eight Family.”
Genji patiently explained, trying to make it as simple as possible for the boys to understand: "As for why she is still in Tokyo, it's something we deduced. It seems she has some other purpose for the family. She didn't leave Japan even though she had the chance to do so several times before."
"What exactly is this information?" Chu Zihang finally spoke, getting straight to the point: "Why go to such lengths to find this person?"
Seeing that Yuan Zhisheng seemed hesitant, Chu Zihang understandingly added, "You don't have to say if you don't want to, but it will affect our judgment. If possible, we need to know more information."
Caesar nodded in agreement. He and Chu Zihang shared the same view: before looking for someone, one must at least know what to do and how to look for them. All of this is inseparable from the ins and outs of the matter.
While the three of them were discussing, Lu Mingfei remained silent. It wasn't that he didn't want to participate; he simply didn't know what to say.
When he joined Kassel College, it was already a turbulent time. In addition, he was inexplicably under the spotlight and rarely stayed at the college to attend classes. As a result, his knowledge of various professional courses was almost zero.
He's bad at reasoning, bad at analysis, and almost nothing he's good at. Simply put, he's bad at this and bad at that.
So in this kind of situation, he can only be a listener and can't help at all. Fortunately, he only wants to be a listener right now.
Genji remained silent for quite some time after being questioned by the two men. Just when the three thought he wouldn't speak, he suddenly spoke:
"She took away all our research data on the Dragon Kings. The others weren't that important, since most of them were already dead. The main thing was some research on Odin."
"It relates to our battle plan against Odin, and there are many specific details, including defenses, so it is both important and unimportant."
Upon hearing this, the two club leaders from Kassel College immediately understood what he meant.
The so-called research and defense against the Dragon King is actually about defending against hybrids. The Dragon King doesn't need research or defense; what needs to be defended against are the hybrids.
Although the Snake Clan has now become the leader of the hybrid races, strangely enough, they do not actually have the ability to rule over all hybrid races. It is more like some kind of strange luck that led them to become rich inexplicably.
In this situation, other mixed-race families would naturally be eager to make their move, thinking that if those people from small island nations could rule the world, why couldn't they?
Ultimately, the problem is the lack of someone who can control the situation. Even Angers couldn't completely control the situation. If the internal information of these Serpent Clan Eight Families were to leak out, the mixed-race people would probably have to fight amongst themselves before they even got to fight the Dragon King.
The two gang leaders exchanged a glance, both sensing something was amiss.
If they are so afraid of other mixed-race families rebelling, and even worried about not being able to control the situation, they have called them all to Japan to fill the void. So how did they become the leader of the mixed-race families in the first place? And how could Angers allow such a family to become the headquarters of Kassel College?
A strange feeling arose in their hearts, but they didn't have time to think about it because Lu Mingfei spoke.
"Let's set off now. How do we find them? Do we have any clues? We can't just search for a needle in a haystack, can we?"
He showed a very positive attitude. Although he seemed not to understand the hidden meaning of the matter at all, they could not ignore him because of his status.
“We still have some clues, and we can roughly pinpoint the location,” Yuan Zhisheng said, standing up. “I’ll take you there now.”
Caesar seemed to want to say something more, but seeing that everyone had already left, he had no choice but to follow them.
Tokyo remained bustling, completely oblivious to the undercurrents beneath the surface. People were unaware that disaster was imminent and continued with their lives as if they were a finely tuned machine.
The black Hummer silently weaved through the surging traffic, the atmosphere eerily silent.
Lu Mingfei's mind was filled with thoughts of what to do and say if he saw Sakurai Kogure, but no matter how he thought about it, it was all a mess; he was really not good at using his brain.
He even couldn't help but miss the devil; at least with the devil around, he would feel more confident.
Like Cinderella's glass slipper, it's not just a shoe, but also a supporting spine, the source of all confidence.
Seriously, they clearly promised that they would come immediately whenever summoned, no matter where they were. What's going on now? Be careful if they disconnect and I give them a bad review!
Lu Mingfei cursed inwardly, then heard the boy's calm voice in his ear.
"Brother, you won't do business with me, but you won't let me develop other clients? Exclusive concierge services are very valuable, you should at least let me close a deal."
The moment the sound rang out, Lu Mingfei turned around abruptly and saw that the devil he had been longing for had somehow sat down next to him.
The car was quiet. Chu Zihang, who had been sitting next to him, was gone, and Caesar in the passenger seat and Yuan Zhisheng, who was driving, had also lost their color.
This was already a common tactic of the devil, and Lu Mingfei was used to it. Not only did he not react, but he was even trembling with joy.
"Where did you go? Didn't you say you'd be there whenever I called?" Lu Mingfei had never been so agitated, and he couldn't help but raise his voice, "Where's my senior sister? Where is she?"
"Who is your senior sister?" The boy tilted his head, his pale golden eyes looking at Lu Mingfei. "Does such a person exist in the world?"
Lu Mingfei was stunned.
It's hard to describe his feelings at that moment; countless expectations plummeted to rock bottom, and he was completely stunned.
Although he feared the devil and refused to admit it, he knew in his heart that the people he trusted most in this world, besides Genjiro, were the devil.
In his mind, the devil, like Genji, was almost invincible and omnipotent.
If even the devil can't save Yuan Zhinu, then Lu Mingfei really doesn't know what to do.
Perhaps his stunned expression was too funny, because the devil actually laughed: "Brother, you look very funny right now."
Lu Mingfei was speechless, staring blankly at him.
The devil shrugged, too lazy to look at him anymore, and said casually, "Just kidding. I didn't expect you to be so easy to fool."
"Here's what we'll do: make a deal with me, and I'll tell you how to save your senior. I'm not kidding, this is your last chance. If you don't make the deal now, you'll never see her again."
"Now, besides you, no one in this world remembers her anymore. If you want my help, it's only through a deal. The devil never does business without a cost."
Lu Mingfei slowly shivered.
The devil raised his eyes, amusement in them, and said, "But do you dare? Do you dare to make a deal with me?"
He withdrew his gaze listlessly, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "I know you wouldn't dare, so why did you rush to call me over? Are you begging for my pity?"
However, to his surprise, Lu Mingfei, who had always appeared extremely timid, actually spoke up and contradicted him.
“You don’t need to provoke me,” he said softly. “That trick won’t work on me.”
"Of course I know it's useless, I'm just telling the truth." The devil shrugged again. "You don't really care that much about your senior, you're just afraid that no one will back you up."
"I can make a deal with you."
"Hmm, I know you don't want to..." The devil's voice stopped abruptly. He turned his head sharply to look at Lu Mingfei. The boy's face was unusually expressionless. He was neither afraid nor nervous. He just looked at him calmly.
"What did you say? You're willing to make a deal?" The devil raised an eyebrow, quite surprised. "You care about her that much?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Lu Mingfei said, "Take a quarter of her life and I'm willing to trade with you to bring my senior back to me."
"I can't do it." The devil simply shook his head.
"Can't do it?" Lu Mingfei's voice suddenly rose, he hadn't lost his composure even when he agreed to the deal, "Didn't you claim to be omnipotent? If you can't do it, what are you trading with me for!"
"Don't get excited, brother." The devil slowly relaxed, leaning back in the leather seat. His eyes were slightly lowered, and his long eyelashes concealed the expression in his eyes: "I just want to tell you that a quarter of your life is not enough."
Lu Mingfei froze again, staring blankly at the boy in front of him, but the devil did not look into his eyes, and only said: "Your senior sister has gotten into big trouble this time, a quarter of her life is not enough."
"If you want to help her solve her problems and bring her back, I'll take your entire life."
Lu Mingfei's heart trembled violently. He opened his mouth slightly, but could not utter a word.
……
The icy sea, once azure, was now stained crimson with blood, its color a bloody hue. The night sky overhead was filled with dark clouds, through which the brilliant aurora borealis could be seen.
Occasionally, arcs of electricity hundreds of kilometers long would streak across the dark clouds, while below, icebergs stood tall in the crimson sea.
A massive, pitch-black ship, covered in rust and scars, slowly sailed on the crimson sea. Genji stood at the bow, gazing at this bizarre and wondrous world.
Behind her, a man sat leisurely, holding a wine glass.
"Stop struggling. This is a rift in time; you can't get out. Those people have already forgotten you," the man said with a smile. "This time, I've won."
"Is that so?" Yuan Zhinv said noncommittally, "Then why don't you go out if you're so capable?"
Upon hearing these casual words, the man's face suddenly darkened, and he sneered, "You are destined to lose."
Yuan Zhinü ignored him and just stared at the blood-red sea.
She was trapped by Odin, trapped in the cracks of time, but she also trapped Odin, creating illusions with her mind. A delicate balance was achieved between the two, and for a time neither could do anything to the other.
But this is not forever. This world was created by Odin, who is constantly restoring it while simultaneously consuming Genji, and Genji currently has no way to break this stalemate.
If no one remembers her, she might be eaten silently. Oh well, if she can't take it anymore, she might as well die together with everyone else.
Yuan Zhinu looked at the sea of blood, thinking casually.
Chapter 399 Even her lover has forgotten her.
Genji still couldn't figure out how Odin managed to actually complete this path of evolution.
Even Yuan Zhinü didn't understand what role Caesar played in all of this, but given the special nature of this brother, Odin's ability to traverse this path of the pseudo-Black King must have been inseparable from him.
It can only be said that thousands of years of preparation did have some effect, as this guy actually managed to seize the opportunity to turn the tables even after Genji had already obtained the White Crown.
The Odin of today is no longer the king of the sky and wind who could be easily manipulated by her, but the pseudo-Black King, second only to the Black Sovereign.
Just like Herzog back then, he usurped the White King's divine position, but he did not reach the White King's true strength. He could only be considered a pseudo-White King, but he was still stronger than the ordinary four monarchs.
Odin is currently in this situation. He has usurped some of the Black King's power, but he has not reached the true strength of that sleeping supreme being. At most, he can be considered a pseudo-Black King, but he is no ordinary dragon king. He can even disregard the true White King, Genji.
This is how it is when masters clash. The two never have a direct confrontation, but the balance of victory has been fluctuating repeatedly, to the point where it is impossible to know who will win until the very last moment.
However, the situation is currently somewhat unfavorable for Genjiro.
She had clearly missed a crucial opportunity; failing to prevent Odin from becoming the false Black King was her biggest mistake. However, even though the current situation wasn't great, she wasn't too worried.
As can be seen from the original work, Odin possesses the ability to manipulate time, erase memories, and modify history. This power can even affect the Dragon King, but it is useless against the brothers Lu Mingfei, who are supreme beings.
Genjiro is not Chu Zihang from the original story; she is the true White King. To influence her or erase her existence would not be an easy task for Odin, even though he has already obtained part of the Black King's crown.
The fact that Genji was able to trap him in this space shows that he is not yet invincible. Although he currently has the upper hand, so what?
Even the real Black King never killed the White King, let alone this inferior imp in front of him.
The two were locked in a stalemate, both thinking about how to devour the other, so that they would have more strength and more confidence when Nidhogg awoke.
Odin felt he had the upper hand. Since no one remembered Genjiro, no one would bother him. He planned to use a long period of time to slowly wear Genjiro down.
In this world where only he can replenish himself, Genjiro is indeed powerful, but he can only live off his resources until they are exhausted. Sooner or later, he will be completely depleted, and that day will definitely not be too late.
Because the meal was so anticipated, Odin was willing to be quite patient, since the longer the wait, the more enjoyable the meal would be.
The only downside was that the food was too noisy and displayed an overconfidence that displeased him.
He didn't sense any fear from Genji, or even surprise, as if she had known this would happen all along and had prepared for it, so naturally she wasn't surprised.
