Dragon Raja: I practiced Naruto ninjutsu next to Lu Mingfei.

"Look, what's that thing standing up?" Caesar suddenly said.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment before realizing that the person wasn't talking about him, and then he followed Caesar's gaze.

That was a giant tower!

Gu Ran saw the tower through the screen; it was majestic, ancient, and mysterious.

Those in the command center saw it, as did Professor Schneider and Manstein, who were far away at the main campus of the Kassel College.

The giant tower is located at the very center, and various buildings radiate outwards from it.

They arrived at an ancient city, the ancient city of dragons!

Chu Zihang drew a city map on sketch paper and deduced that the city was originally built on the ground and later sank into the sea. Moreover, the location of the giant tower was a huge square, which meant that the dragons often held grand religious activities.

Lu Mingfei quipped, "Do the Dragon Clan believe in the Divine Dragon Cult?" Chu Zihang scolded him, telling him to stop quipping.

They then discovered more ruins, photographed them one by one, and sent them to headquarters.

The sculptures in the photographs contain many figures with human bodies and snake tails.

Caesar then prepared to use sulfur bombs to destroy the dragon embryo, but before he could do so, he first needed to locate the embryo.

So they activated the sonar system in the submersible to search for the embryo.

Then, they discovered a huge torii gate, which symbolizes the protective barrier of a Japanese shrine. This torii gate was larger than any real torii gate, standing more than fifty meters tall.

When the photos were sent to the main campus of Kassel College, Professors Schneider and Manstein found the archaeological remains of these dragons difficult to digest and required further research.

They felt it was time to return, as they had already gained enough.

But then Manstein suddenly shouted, "Doors, damn doors, torii gates are a kind of doors!"

Yes, the torii gates of Japanese shrines are equivalent to the mountain gates of China!

Professor Schneider immediately issued an order for the Caesar team to return to port, because the video showed that the Trieste was swimming towards the torii gate!

But his orders were not conveyed.

Because Princess Kaguya from the Japanese branch severed the connection with Norma.

*……*……*

At this moment, Gu Ran heard a series of interfering electrical noises in his earphones. He realized that the Snake Clan was about to make a move.

At this moment, Yuan Zhisheng returned to the command room, about to lie and explain the communication problem.

But before he could speak, Gu Ran took off his headphones and casually tossed them on the ground.

In any case, Genjiro will no longer allow him to contact Caesar and the others.

Gu Ran pulled up a chair and sat down: "Actually, there's no need to lie, right? As long as you explain the situation properly, I think we'd be very willing to help you, even if it's behind the secret party's back."

"What...do you mean?" Yuan Zhisheng asked, staring at Gu Ran.

Gu Ran looked at him silently. Yuan Zhisheng's face was very beautiful, and from certain angles he looked like a woman. If he wanted to, he would definitely be a cross-dressing master.

At that moment, Caesar's voice came from the seabed, requesting access to Norma's script database to analyze the underwater text.

Genjiro gave Gu Ran a deep look, then said to Caesar, "Because of the active sunspots, we have lost contact with Norma, but Princess Kaguya can still do the text analysis."

Caesar, deep in the ocean, was stunned. He was on a mission and this was the first time he had lost contact with Norma. Moreover, this mission was directly commanded by Professor Schneider, with Genjiro only assisting. In this situation, whose orders should he take? He couldn't just stand by and wait, because there wasn't enough oxygen.

As the leader of this group, Caesar had absolute command authority. He recalled Gu Ran's words that Genjiro could not be trusted.

Chapter 387 is so hard to guess!

"Where is Gu Ran? What's the situation with Gu Ran?" Caesar asked from below the Trieste.

“I don’t know where he is, and I can’t reach him by radio,” Yuan Zhisheng said, looking at Gu Ran behind him.

At this moment, Yaksha pulled out a gun and pressed it against the back of Gu Ran's head.

Gu Ran smiled softly, remaining motionless.

“I want to say something to him,” Caesar said.

“It seems he went to the Wind Group and is patrolling in the sky. The radio signal is bad right now, so I can only contact you using the Trieste’s communication line.” Yuan Zhisheng stared intently at Gu Ran. “You know, Gu Ran has always liked to move around freely, so I can’t contact him for a while.”

Deep underwater, Caesar, as the team leader, remained silent for a while.

Caesar was proud; he once told his student council officers that he would always trust someone he had just met.

Because if a leader lacks the magnanimity to trust his companions, he is destined not to win the support of more people.

That's why he said Gu Ran was too suspicious before.

After thinking it over, Caesar decided that he should trust Genjiro this once.

“Then let Princess Kaguya help us,” Caesar said.

Before long, Princess Kaguya, with her 'baby voice,' began to help the three people underwater compare the text.

Inside the command center, the atmosphere among the five people was extremely tense.

Gu Ran leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, completely unconcerned about the gun pointed at the back of his head: "Speaking of which, this is the first time I've ever had someone point a gun at my head. So this is what it feels like."

"It seems you know something." Yuan Zhisheng turned to look at Gu Ran, his handsome face extremely cold.

Gu Ran said calmly, "During World War II, San Dezi obtained your genes and compared them. Later, the Allied hybrids stole the gene comparison results and found that your genes were different from those of the Four Dragon Kings of Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth..."

"Besides the Black King, there are five other Dragon Kings. If we subtract the four Dragon Kings, there's only one left. So, it's obvious, which Dragon King did the Japanese hybrids' genes originate from? It's so hard to guess!"

Gu Ran said the words "It's so hard to guess" in a very sarcastic and cheeky tone, a tone that made you want to punch him.

But Genjiro and his retainers were all taken aback when they heard Gu Ran's guess.

"How did you find out about San Dezi's matter?" Yuan Zhisheng asked expressionlessly, trying to appear calm, staring at Gu Ran with a sinister look, his hand tightly gripping his sword.

“Don’t forget, we were also a victorious nation.” Gu Ran spoke vaguely, without specifying the source of the information. “Of course, the above is purely my speculation and has not been confirmed because there is no evidence. But until today, I saw that huge priest’s square… and that tower. Other dragon kings may have altars, but they won’t have that tower. That tower was used for executions.”

"In the history of the dragon race, there was only one dragon king who was in charge of sacrifices and served as a priest, and there was also only one dragon king who was executed for rebellion. Who was it? It's so hard to guess!"

This dragon city eventually sank into the sea off Japan. So, from which dragon king did the hybrids of the Snake-Headed Eight Families originate? That's hard to guess!

At the same time, Caesar and his two companions on the Trieste also completed the text comparison and concluded that it was Takamagahara.

The three of them also realized that the Snake-Headed Eight Families were descendants of the gods, but they couldn't deduce that it was the White King like Gu Ran had.

In the history of the Dragon Clan, the White King served as the priest. Later, the White King raised the banner of rebellion against the Black King, but was suppressed by the Black King. In the end, the Black King took back the power he had given to the White King and killed him.

Yuan Zhisheng was overwhelmed with emotion. He hadn't expected that Gu Ran, who had just turned twenty, could deduce so much information.

This is a secret that the Snake Clan has kept for thousands of years, and now Gu Ran has just casually revealed it.

"Now that you know all this, we can't let you leave here!" The crow standing to the side said, giving Yaksha a wink.

Yaksha thought to himself, "The young master is soft-hearted and indecisive. I might as well just kill this kid myself."

Although this kid has a troublesome backer, who cares? It's normal for someone to die while carrying out a mission, and there won't be any evidence later that it was their Japanese branch that did it.

However, just as the thought crossed his mind, he suddenly realized that the person sitting in front of the chair had disappeared.

Sakura, the crow, and Genji all stared wide-eyed.

Gu Ran, who had been right in front of them, suddenly vanished into thin air, as if he had never existed.

The crow holding the gun waved its hand in front of it and found that the chair was indeed empty. In other words, Gu Ran was not invisible, but had really disappeared!

"Hey, are you looking for me?" Gu Ran peeked in from outside the command room, like a child playing hide-and-seek.

In fact, Gu Ran had placed a mark of the Flying Thunder God Technique on the highest mast. He had just teleported to the mast and then came down again.

Just as the people in the command center were stunned and speechless, an earthquake occurred on the seabed. The Trieste immediately began to call out, asking Genjiro if there was an earthquake on the seabed.

Genji denied that an earthquake had occurred, lying that the embryo was waking up and that Caesar and the others should blow it up. He also said that he had spoken with Schneider and obtained permission from the Academy headquarters.

In reality, Genjiro never contacted headquarters again.

So Caesar decided to take his men and start planting bombs.

Meanwhile, Mai Shude, who had been searching for an opportunity on the seabed, also found what she wanted on the Lenin and prepared to evacuate.

Gu Ran watched their performance quietly from the doorway.

"Why didn't you stop me?" Yuan Zhisheng asked Gu Ran.

Gu Ran said calmly, "At least in terms of slaying dragons, I agree with you. Things from the bottom of the sea should not be brought to light again. I just think you are very hypocritical."

"Hypocrisy?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.

"Do you think you're deceiving them for the greater good, for the greater good, to protect your country, so lying is something you have no choice but to do?"

Genjiro was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes, for the greater good, to save and protect more lives, sacrificing a small number of people is unavoidable."

"Then you should persuade them with righteousness, not deceive them," Gu Ran said. "Or do you yourselves know that so-called righteousness can only move and comfort yourselves, and is actually worthless to others?"

Yuan Zhisheng and Gu Ran looked at each other. The boy did not question him about why he did it, nor did he ask him why he did it. He simply told him that it was wrong to do it.

He doesn't care what secrets you have, but you shouldn't do things that are wrong.

That's wonderful; young people should be like him.

Loyalty and righteousness in the underworld are all hypocrisy; they are merely a means of controlling people's hearts, just as Christianity uses transactions to control people, and feudal dynasties use Confucianism to control the people.

Genji once thought that if the underworld only made dirty money, then it should be buried. But after making dirty money for so long, he suddenly realized that dirty money could allow more people to live.

"This is the survival rule of the underworld. We live by doing evil. We belong to a family, so we must be loyal to it. For the benefit of the family, we may harm the innocent. For the benefit of the family, we can sacrifice our comrades and even ourselves. Everyone can be sacrificed so that more people can live a good life. This world is that cruel." Yuan Zhisheng said these words calmly without arguing.

"Is this your idea of ​​justice?" Gu Ran asked.

"Yes."

Gu Ran asked again, "Are you sure that the justice you believe in truly exists?"

Genji hesitated.

At that moment, Sakura walked to Genji's side and whispered, "The things in the burial ground of the gods are awakening; they're coming up."

“Go fight your own war. The Corpse Guardians have already started coming up. I won’t disturb you.” Gu Ran continued, standing by the door of the operations room. “Of course, I won’t help you either. This is a war you started yourself, and you’re already prepared. You shouldn’t need my help.”

“One more thing,” Gu Ran said, “I don’t like people pointing guns at me. If it happens again, I won’t be so patient; I’ll just draw my sword and chop off your hand. Don’t blame me for not warning you!”

Gu Ran quoted a line from classical Chinese, then found a chair and sat down again, looking at the zombie-guarding group on the screen.

The two retainers, Crow and Yaksha, dared not make any rash moves, as they had no idea what Gu Ran's techniques were.
