"Wake up..."

In the midst of life and death, a vague voice came from afar. Lu Mingfei initially thought it was that little devil who had disappeared for a long time and claimed to be his younger brother.

But when he opened his eyes again, what he saw in front of him was an extremely familiar fat face.

"Wake up, you idiot! We're going to be late!"

There he saw his chubby cousin, Lu Mingze, yelling in his hoarse voice by his bedside, his impatient expression a carbon copy of his aunt's.

But no matter how much Lu Mingfei disliked his cousin before, now all he wants to do is hug him and give him a kiss.

And the fact is, he did just that.

Lu Mingze wiped the drool off his face, staring in disbelief at Lu Mingfei as he ran away. A few seconds later, he let out a terrified scream.

"Lu Mingfei has gone mad! Lu Mingfei has gone mad!"

Ignoring his frightened cousin and his disgruntled aunt, Lu Mingfei quickly changed his clothes and ran towards Shilan Middle School.

Last night felt like a nightmare, but the pain in the dream felt so real, and the memories were so vivid.

So much so that Lu Mingfei was somewhat distraught after waking up, never expecting that the only warmth he had ever felt in his life would come from a doctor in his dream.

"Lu Mingfei, do you have time to help me move some books later?"

The girl who once haunted his dreams sought Lu Mingfei's help. Normally, he would have eagerly rushed to her aid.

But for some reason, after a moment of confusion, Lu Mingfei said something as if possessed.

"I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well today. Please ask someone else for help."

"Ah... okay, then you should get some rest."

Chen Wenwen was clearly surprised, but Lu Mingfei did look unwell; his eyes were bloodshot and his face was very pale.

Watching Chen Wenwen's departing figure, Lu Mingfei found that he didn't feel particularly disappointed.

He seemed more concerned about what would happen to Dr. Youssefka than Chen Wenwen.

If the incense burns out, I'll probably die...

This was the answer he received from his experience of dying for a whole night.

And so, Lu Mingfei returned home after a day of classes with this answer in mind, and even when he lay in bed again, he was still thinking about everything he had experienced in his dream.

Exhausted, Lu Mingfei closed his eyes, and sleepiness washed over him like a tide. Slowly, he drifted off to sleep.

......

After an unknown amount of time, the pungent smell of blood once again woke Lu Mingfei. Looking at the familiar surroundings, Lu Mingfei took several deep breaths and resolutely sat up in bed.

This time, there seemed to be something in his eyes that he had never seen before.

————————————————————————————

Meanwhile, Zhou Si, who had abandoned Lu Mingfei in Ya Nan's dream world, had once again set foot on Japanese soil.

Uesugi's master sent him a message not long ago, saying that he had found some clues about Erii's background and asked him to meet with him.

Although curious about why it had to be an in-person presentation, Zhou Si didn't think too much about it and readily accepted the invitation, setting off for Japan once again.

However, Zhou Si came through official channels this time, buying a first-class ticket to Tokyo. While being legal and compliant, she also enjoyed services she had never experienced before her time travel.

As for where the money for first class came from.

Then we have to thank our big spender – Lu Mingze's team of nurses.

It has to be said that since the deal with Lu Mingze was made, although there have been some troubles, there have also been many visible benefits.

Zhou Si waved goodbye to the flight attendants on the plane. They had worked hard preparing food for him on the plane, and it must be said that the food on this flight was quite good.

After getting off the plane, Zhou Si saw the familiar old man from afar.

Today, Master Uesugi abandoned his usual classic ramen chef image, instead wearing a very rebellious suit of armor, sunglasses, and leaning against a motorcycle, looking every bit like an elderly biker gangster.

"oi"

Upon seeing Zhou Si, he simply gave a cool greeting, which left Zhou Si completely bewildered.

What are you up to?

"What, can't older people keep up with trends? Isn't that cool?"

As he spoke, Uesugi Kotsushi turned around to show Zhou Si his new look, and it was clear that he was quite satisfied with his current appearance.

Zhou Si's lips twitched, and she decided not to inquire any further about the hobbies and interests of the elderly.

"Let's find a place to talk business."

"Okay, here we go."

Seeing that Zhou Si changed the subject so quickly, Uesugi Yue was not annoyed. He just chuckled and tossed Zhou Si a helmet, then patted the back seat of the motorcycle after getting on.

"boarding."

"Row."

Although it seemed strange no matter how she thought about it, Zhou Si eventually got into Uesugi Yue's car.

Unlike his elderly biker gang attire, Uesugi Kotsu drove very lawfully, even exuding a sense of leisure. The two of them arrived at Uesugi Kotsu's current residence at a leisurely pace.

This is an apartment near the University of Tokyo. It's not a very old building; it's the kind of well-furnished apartment typically for wealthy students who don't care about money.

Zhou Si looked at Master Uesugi with some surprise. The price of an apartment built in such a place was indeed outrageous, but for someone of Uesugi Yue's caliber, it was a bit too low-class.

After all, this person was once someone whose every word could make the whole of Japan tremble.

Now, however, they are crammed into a small apartment of less than 100 square meters.

"Want something to drink?"

"Let's get down to business."

Zhou Sixiang declined Uesugi Yue's offer of tea and quickly got down to business. Uesugi Yue's strange attitude made him feel uneasy, especially with his insistence on meeting in person.

If Zhou Si hadn't sensed no strange aura around him, he would have assumed that Uesugi Yue had ambushed three hundred axemen here, waiting to take his head.

"Haha... Alright, let's get down to business then."

Uesugi Kotsushi smiled somewhat awkwardly, clearly realizing that his behavior was slightly inappropriate. After pausing for a moment, he spoke with a slightly complicated expression.

"You've seen the documents I sent you, haven't you?"

Zhou Si nodded. Because Uesugi Yue's phone was being monitored by Kaguya-hime, he sent over a book on the history of Japanese mixed-race people that was thicker than a dictionary. Zhou Si had been reading the book in his spare time these past few days.

"In that case, you should also have some understanding of the history of the emperor."

Just like Zhou Si, Uesugi Yue is the kind of guy who won't easily change his mind once he's decided on someone. He told Zhou Si almost everything he knew without reservation, including some secrets that were unknown to others.

"Too many people died back then, especially the three families. I was the only survivor. There might be others who survived, but there certainly wouldn't be many."

As Uesugi Kotsu drank his tea, he recounted the history of that time, but there was little emotion in his eyes, as if he had completely let go of what had happened back then.

“I asked Aga and some of my old friends to investigate the backgrounds of Erii and her brother, Genjiro, and then we discovered something very interesting.”

Uesugi Koshi played with the teacup in his hand, a somewhat amused smile appearing on his lips.

"At first I thought their parents might have been survivors from that time. After all, with so many people, it's not impossible for someone to have survived by chance."

"But the results of the investigation later told me that my idea was wrong."

Both children were adopted by the current patriarch, a man named Tachibana Masamune.

Genjiro was alright. Before being adopted, he and his younger brother lived in a small town called Shikatori, and they lived a rather poor life until they were taken back to the main family by Tachibana Masamune.

Erii was strange; before being taken back to the main family by Tachibana Masamune, this girl was like a ghost, leaving no trace in the world.

When she was first brought to the main family, she seemed completely unfamiliar with everything around her. Apart from trusting Tachibana Masamune completely, she was as pure and innocent as a blank sheet of paper.

"At that time, I was regarded as the future by the entire Snake Clan, simply because I was the only emperor. If those old fogies knew that three emperors had suddenly appeared, they would probably crawl out of the Yellow Springs."

Uesugi made no attempt to hide his sarcasm, but Zhou Si noticed the key point in his words.

"Three emperors? One is Genjiro, one is Erii, and who is the third one?"

"Genji's younger brother, the younger brother who lived with him in Shikatori."

Uesugi Koshi lit a cigarette, his tone unconsciously lowering slightly.

"His name was Genjiro. He was brought back to the Snake Clan along with Genjiro, but he died in an accident not long afterward."

Although it was an accident, Uesugi Koshi was very clear that there was only one possibility for killing a hybrid with royal blood: the resurgence of dragons.

That would require another hybrid of the same or even stronger level to make a move, and only after a fierce battle could they kill him.

Such a hybrid race would have been impossible to find in the past, but wouldn't you guess it, there's one in this era?

Uesugi Kotsu read through the records from that year and found no record of any dragons of the third generation or higher awakening. So, there was probably only one possibility left.

"So you suspect that Genji killed his brother with his own hands?"

Zhou Si spoke out what Uesugi Yue was thinking, but he shook his head with a bitter expression.

"I don't know; only the parties involved probably know the truth."

Uesugi Kotsuya stubbed out his half-smoked cigarette, stood up, went to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and then changed the subject in a cold voice.

"With the addition of Yuan Zhinü, three royal-level hybrids have appeared at the same time. Don't you feel that something is amiss?"

"You mean... Tachibana Masamune?"

Zhou Si quickly figured out the key point and reiterated that he just didn't like to use his brain, not that he didn't.

The fact that three super hybrids who had been separated from their families were discovered and adopted by this patriarch is a coincidence that seems a bit too exaggerated.

Uesugi Kotsu had said the same thing to Aga, but at the time he showed a strange kind of blind obedience to the patriarch, even though the old man would question Uesugi Kotsu's words.

Yet he firmly believed that Tachibana Masamune would lead the Snake-Headed Eight Families back to glory.

Although Tachibana Masamune's current achievements seem to prove that he does have the ability, Uesugi Koshi's intuition tells him that this matter is definitely not that simple.

"So the investigation is now focusing on Tachibana Masamune, right?"

Uesugi Kotsushi nodded and then shook his head. Tachibana Masamune was indeed the key, but rashly taking action would only alert the enemy. Therefore, they should focus on targets that were easier to capture.

"Yuan Zhisheng had woken up not long before, and after being discharged from the hospital, he began to frantically raid the territory of the Fierce Demon Clan in order to vent his pent-up anger."

If we're going to investigate, investigating this kid first is obviously a better option.

Even so, Zhou Si looked at the old man from the biker gang leaning against the bed with a complicated expression, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

Why did your attitude change so quickly?

Before, they seemed to be just going through the motions, but now they've become so proactive.

"Isn't this to get rid of you, you big shot, as soon as possible?" Uesugi Kotsu chuckled. "Besides, I've been resting for so long, it's time for me to get moving. After all, the Snake Clan is my main family, hahahahaha."

Laughing loudly with his back to Zhou Si, the hint of sorrow that flashed in Uesugi Yue's eyes was hidden in the wind along with the cherry blossoms falling outside the window.

The pypypypypy segment is here again.

In Minecraft Creative Mode, I'm transported to a two-dimensional world, and both my parents have died.

The mechanism of destroying and creating everything in creative mode is exactly the protagonist's path in the harem novels of the anime world!

Aside from the cheat-like code commands, flying, changing the weather, passing through walls, and copying items are just the tip of the iceberg.

Not to mention the various mods!

Chapter Sixteen Zhou Si: I'm here again!

"Damn it, have those Snake-Headed Eight Family members gone mad?"

In an alley on the outskirts of Tokyo, several blood-soaked demons leaned against a corner, their heavy breathing echoing through the alley. The injuries they sustained would have killed any normal person.

But the bloodline that once turned them into demons has now become their lifeline.

"Boss, what should we do next?"

A tattooed man with half an arm missing asked their leader with a ferocious expression, his golden eyes blazing with fury, "Should we fight those bastards?"

"Compete? What will we use to compete?"

The middle-aged man who was leading the group lay dejectedly on the ground. Unlike these guys who had directly fallen into demonhood, he was a member of the Snake-Headed Eight Families before joining the Fierce Demon Clan. He betrayed his family and joined the Fierce Demon Clan because his bloodline went out of control.
