Dragon Raja: Starting with acquiring Orochi, a counterattack against the gods.

Chapter 126 The Trap We Had to Fall into

Yuan Zhinv had no idea what the Crown Prince's true identity was, or even whether the person behind that ID was a human or a ghost.

But she knew that this thing was now targeting her.

Perhaps it was because she had been in the spotlight for so long, especially after going to Kassel College, that the name "Kazama Ruri" quickly attracted the attention of countless people.

Especially after the video of slaying the dragon was posted on the Kassel College campus network, it was reposted over ten thousand times, causing a great sensation.

Such a huge reaction has led to countless eyes being fixed on her from the shadows, and now even the "crown prince" can't sit still anymore.

Genjiro's impression of the "Crown Prince" was quite vague. She only remembered that he was the instigator of the Greenland Incident, which caused heavy losses to the academy, but she knew nothing about the specific details and content of the mission.

This guy must have a purpose in contacting her now. Yuan Zhinv wasn't in a hurry and just quietly watched him send message after message.

Prince: Go to Greenland, there you will find what you want.

Crown Prince: I lost something there. If you can find it, I'll give it to you as a gift.

Looking at the message sent by the other party, Yuan Zhinu even had a sense of déjà vu. There was a time when she had also used this method to lure Lao Tang, tricking him into going to the desert first.

However, the bait she used was the most common kind of money, and Old Tang happened to be a poor man who was short of money, so he happily took the bait.

Genji was very curious about what kind of bait this guy would throw at her.

With a slight tap of her slender fingers, Yuan Zhinu casually asked: "I don't even know what I want, so how could you know?"

Crown Prince: Evolution.

The other party replied quickly, clearly having prepared in advance, and confidently sent only two words, as if certain that Genji would be attracted by those two words.

Yuan Zhinü stared intently at those two words, her brows furrowed tightly.

It's not hard to guess that she gained power through killing. At least Odin and Bondarev are fully aware of it, and anyone who is interested should be able to guess it pretty accurately by carefully studying Genji's experiences.

After all, there are only a few paths for dragons to become stronger, and hybrids are naturally no exception to this ironclad rule.

Although Uesugi Koshi erased most of Genji's experiences over the years with Kaguya-hime after regaining control of the Snake Clan, there will always be someone who can find clues.

Prince: Come to Greenland, and I will give you the complete path to evolution, as well as enough nutrients for your evolution.

The Crown Prince sent another message at a leisurely pace. Yuan Zhinv could almost imagine that guy hiding in the shadows where no one could see him, casually casting out his bait, waiting for her, the fish, to take the bait.

They were like two sides in a negotiation, each harboring their own secrets and silently scheming against the other. Neither knew what the other's trump card or purpose was. Now, Yuan Zhinv knew that the other side was throwing out a bargaining chip.

But if that's all there is to it, it's far from enough. She's only one step away from breaking through to her current level, and she can wait until that big guy in the Japan Strait wakes up before going for another run. There's no need for her to get involved in this mess.

After all, it's easy to tell with your toes that this mysterious guy has no good intentions, and Greenland is definitely a Hongmen Banquet. If she really goes there, it's hard to say who will become the fertilizer for whose evolution.

Ruri Kazama: I'm not interested. Go find someone else.

Crown Prince: Don't rush to reject me; you certainly have plenty of time.

Crown Prince: But your sister doesn't have much time left.

Yuan Zhinu frowned deeply and asked in return: What do you mean?

Crown Prince: You'll find out soon enough. You can come to me anytime you change your mind.

Crown Prince: Smiling.jpg

Seeing the smiling emoji sent by the other party, Yuan Zhinv felt extremely annoyed, but before she could say anything, the other party went offline.

With the Hunter website's mechanism, once someone goes offline, they can never be found again. Genji felt incredibly annoyed looking at the other person's grayed-out avatar.

The other party's confident demeanor was truly annoying.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Zhinu opened the chat software and saw Fingel's avatar jumping frantically; he had sent a lot of messages.

Fingel: ?

Fingel: Hunter website? Prince? Girl, do you know what you're saying?

Fingel: Some jokes are not appropriate for girls.

Fingel: Where are you? Did aliens abduct you?

……

Whether it's just my imagination or not, beneath these seemingly quirky questions lies a barely suppressed emotion; this renowned king of paparazzi seems to care too much about this news.

But this is understandable, because Genji knows how much this guy cares about the "Crown Prince".

After all, Fingel had lost everything in this guy's hands, so how could he not care?

Genjiro's thinking was simple: since she didn't know what the prince was up to, she would just tell Fingel. By doing him a favor, Genjiro also believed that Fingel was definitely more concerned about the prince's purpose than she was.

With Fingel's computer technology and the assistance of his computer girlfriend, he would obviously have more information than Genji could find. Moreover, the power of hatred is endless, and he would definitely work incredibly hard.

Therefore, letting Fingel do the research is the best solution; as the saying goes, professional matters should be left to professionals.

With this thought in mind, Yuan Zhinu decisively betrayed the Crown Prince.

Kazama Ruri: Just now, a guy with the ID "Prince" on the Hunter x Hunter website contacted me. He wants me to go to Greenland, saying he has prepared a gift for me there.

Kazama Ruri: I asked him what he had prepared, but he wouldn't say. He just said he was waiting for me in Greenland and then went offline. Senior, you're so good at computer science, could you help me check?

Fingel: Okay.

With just a single, simple word, Yuan Zhinu seemed to see the man's face, as tense as steel, reflected in it. She put away her phone, got up, and walked outside.

She's a little worried about Erii now.

The Crown Prince's words, "Your sister doesn't have much time left," set off alarm bells in Yuan Zhinv's mind. His high-profile appearance and his unwavering confidence that she would take the bait also cast a shadow over her heart.

This guy was obviously fearless, so he didn't need to use all the eloquence and deception like Yuan Zhinv did to seduce Old Tang. It was as if he knew very well that Yuan Zhinv would definitely come.

Or rather... I had no choice but to come.

Genjiro went straight to Erii's hospital room, and then saw a lot of people at the door. In that instant, her heart skipped a beat and she was immediately in a panic.

Numerous medical personnel in protective suits were holding various documents and appeared to be studying them, their expressions solemn.

Uesugi Koshi, Genjiro, Sakurai Kogure, and Sakura all stood by, their expressions not very good. Most surprisingly, a red-haired girl was squatting in the corner, idly drawing circles.

Genji walked over quickly, and the first thing she did was to look at Erii in the ward.

Inside the thick glass wall, a tall girl was curled up in a ball, seemingly fast asleep, her face flushed an unnatural red, as if she had a fever.

Upon seeing Yuan Zhinü arrive, all the doctors who were discussing the matter fell silent instantly. Uesugi Etsu's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke softly, "Zhinü, why are you here? Won't you rest for a while longer?"

Ignoring the greeting, Genji asked directly, "Is something wrong with Erii?"

Uesugi Koshi and Genjiro exchanged a glance, both seeing silence in each other's eyes.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhinv's ominous premonition grew stronger, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels: "Are you hiding something from me?"

Uesugi sighed deeply. In that instant, the old man looked so tired, and he seemed to have aged a lot.

After taking a loving look at the girl in the ward, Uesugi Yue finally spoke softly, "Come with me."

After saying that, he turned and headed towards the depths of the corridor. Genji immediately followed, and Genji hesitated for a moment before taking his own steps to follow.

Nono watched all this curiously from the corner, but she was still perceptive enough to know that it was someone else's private matter and didn't get involved. She just felt that the atmosphere seemed particularly oppressive.

She tilted her head slightly and looked at the sleeping girl in the ward. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but Nuonuo felt as if she saw a deathly aura, as if she saw her mother whose soul had been taken away, but it was not quite the same.

The girl's cheeks were rosy and her heart was beating strongly; she looked so vibrant. Yet beneath that vitality, there was an indescribable deathly aura. These two completely opposite feelings blended together in a way that was both contradictory and harmonious.

It is like a big tree that appears prosperous on the outside, but is actually rotten and withered on the inside. All the vitality is just an illusion like a mirage. No one knows when the illusion will disappear, let alone what kind of broken reality is hidden beneath the illusion of prosperity.

The red-haired little witch shook her head, banishing the strange feeling from her mind, and continued squatting on the ground drawing circles.

Meanwhile, after following Uesugi Etsu to a secluded corner, Genji's last bit of patience finally wore off, and she asked directly, "What exactly happened? What's wrong with Erii?"

Gennosuke seemed to want to say something but didn't know how to start. In the end, it was Uesugi Yue who spoke.

“Child, calm down. We kept it from you because we didn’t want you to worry.”

"Eri's condition is indeed a bit off, but it's not beyond repair."

At this point, Uesugi Koshi paused, seemingly considering his words, before continuing after a long while: "Actually, Erii had been acting strangely for a long time."

"After Herzog's death, Erii's illness became more and more frequent. At first, she might not have an attack even once a month, and the serum injection would quickly relieve the symptoms. But later, it became two or three times a month, and the serum became less and less effective."

“Using the serum is very painful, and as the serum is used more and more frequently, Erii becomes more and more resistant. This time, she secretly hid the signs of the disease from us, and by the time we found out, we had no choice but to have a blood transfusion.”

As he finished speaking, the old man closed his eyes, his expression revealing undisguised exhaustion: "The reason we were fooled this time is because it had only been four days since she last used the serum during her illness..."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhinv's heart sank to the bottom.

Chapter 127 Shall we go slay a god together?

Although Genji had a premonition that Erii might be in trouble when the prince said those words, her heart sank instantly when she heard Uesugi Koshi admit it.

"What do you mean by the serum becoming less and less effective?"

Yuan Zhinv took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but her voice was still a little tense: "Isn't the method of serum extraction exactly the method left by Herzog?"

“I didn’t give Herzog any chance to react. He absolutely didn’t have time to change those research data unless he had a backup plan from the beginning, and the data he left behind was incomplete.”

Uesugi gave a wry smile, his voice tinged with helplessness: "I don't know, but given Herzog's cunning and treacherous nature, there's a high chance he's holding back something."

"But now that Herzog is dead, there's no way to ask."

Forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart, Genji forced herself to calm down and asked in a deep voice, "So what's Erii's situation now?"

"Based on current observations, this serum can only last for two more months before it completely loses its effectiveness. If we stop using the serum and rely solely on blood transfusions, Erii's body will not be able to withstand such high-intensity treatment."

After silently calculating the time in his mind, Uesugi Kotsushi's voice became extremely heavy: "In other words, if we can't come up with a solution, Erii can only hold on for a maximum of three months."

really.

Having confirmed her suspicions and received the definite result, Genji closed her eyes.

Erii is a crucial key to usurping the White King's power. If she dies, without her as the perfect vessel for filtering poisonous blood, this path of evolution will clearly be blocked.

It now seems that Herzog clearly knew this, so the real information was always in his mind, ensuring that if he died, no one else in the world would be able to traverse this path.

This cunning man, as treacherous as a fox, always kept a trump card up his sleeve. One could even imagine that if Genji hadn't denied him a chance to speak, he probably would have used Erii as leverage against Genji.

But Genjiro was so badly deceived by him, and fearing that he might use the clapper to control him, he didn't give him any chance to speak and instead had him torn to pieces.

By the time they discovered Erii's problem, it was too late; Herzog was long gone, not even a trace of him remained.

Now that Erii's situation has been confirmed, it immediately proves that the Crown Prince was indeed prepared.
