Chapter 268 Doubts

"This is..." Lu Mingfei withdrew his hand.

The dragon's body gradually became illusory, becoming translucent like a projection. Dots of white light fell outward from its scales, and goose-feather snowflakes fell from the clouds. Everything seemed to have turned into a phantom in a dream.

Only its heart was still beating, and the sound like a war drum was loud, but soon, the beating sound of the heart also weakened.

It knelt down and slowly closed its eyes. The huge membrane wings occupied half of the platform of the Xumizuo. Mai Shutoku picked up the suitcase on the ground and took out a stainless steel cylinder from the mezzanine.

It can only appear in this posture for a few minutes. It is originally dead, just an egg that has not yet hatched.

It was restored to its prime because it had been favored by a great power who gave it life.

Mai Shutoku couldn't help but think of Sanmu. She had a stuffed bear named Zorro that she couldn't put down. After returning from Black Swan Port, she could use the little bear Zorro to summon her sled dog friend.

The sled dog and the boss's pet, as well as the twins of the bronze and fire kings, these are all dead things, but they have been pulled out of the underworld.

Mai Shutoku glanced at Lu Mingfei's side face where no one noticed.

She put on her leather gloves and walked forward slowly. After waiting for the dragon's shadow to disappear, she grabbed the fallen heart, installed it in a stainless steel column, and sealed it in a suitcase filled with liquid nitrogen. middle.

Snow accumulated a thin layer on the platform. Lu Mingfei took off his coat and put it on Huiliyi's shoulders. The bell on the bracelet rang softly. Huiliyi stretched out his hand and watched the snow melt in his palm curiously. Lu Mingfei Fei helped her brush the flying snow off her head.

Yuan Zhisheng, Ye Sheng, Chu Zihang and others looked at Lu Mingfei with complicated eyes. The crisis was passed safely, but more questions emerged.

"Go back first." Lu Mingfei said softly.

"Alas" Yuan Zhisheng sighed and looked back at the Xumizuo frozen on the glacier.

There are a total of 1,286 people working on the four platforms, but now, there are only 22 living people left.

When counting the death toll, this is just a series of numbers, but every number is a living life. They died in this struggle against the Corpse Guard.

Fortunately, Tokyo was finally saved, and citizens could still shop on the streets of Shibuya without knowing anything about it, without having to worry about incoming man-eating monsters.

In the distance, a dozen small black dots appeared on the edge of the skyline, which were the helicopters called by Angers.

"The Dragon King and the Corpse Guard disappeared together. What a perfect ending, isn't it?" Angre said quietly.

"Stop talking nonsense, Ange." Uesugoshi blew his beard, "If you really think this is a perfect ending, you should say this with a smile, but I still have to remind you in advance that God is still awakening. , what’s waiting for us is not just a banquet.”

"Of course I know." Angers tugged on his collar, "But the heroes are all tired. After a tragic battle, there must be rest time to recover, and we also need a comfortable environment to sit down and talk. Let’s talk.”

"You can make your own arrangements." Uesugi let out a breath, "It's almost time to reveal the secret."

"We will meet at Quinteessence in the evening. This is a newly opened French-style Michelin three-star restaurant. We have reserved the restaurant here tonight. There is a separate private room where we can talk." Angers said.

"As you wish." Uesugoshi waved his hand.

Night, Shinagawa District, Tokyo.

In the hall of Quintessence, a violinist in a small suit played "Ave Maria", which is a violin solo composed by the German violinist Wilhelm based on Schubert's song of the same name. The melody is quiet, and a A female piano player with short and capable hair is accompanying her, and the music melody seems to show the holy Virgin, simple and noble.

The smooth marble floor reflected the light of the crystal chandelier. Lu Mingfei and Eliyi sat at a table by the window, and the waiter brought the appetizers.

"Today's meal is carefully prepared for you by Chef Kishida-san."

A tray was placed on the brown-striped table, and a small silver bowl and silver spoon were placed on it. Each person's tray had a different style, with the word Quintessence engraved on the lower right corner.

"The appetizer is a cold appetizer soup. The soup base is made from a thorough mixture of chopped pork rinds and pork, plus minced celery. Please enjoy it slowly." The waiter bowed respectfully and left.

There are people sitting at every table. The principal has booked the entire restaurant, but the principal has not shown up yet. At previous banquets, he would stand on the stage, hold his glass high, drink with everyone, and give a speech at the same time. The atmosphere was lively. Kassel would have similar banquets every holiday. The principal was rarely absent, but today he didn't show up.

However, this did not affect everyone's happy mood. The commissioners who won the defense battle were very excited. They clinked glasses and drank, and the wine in the high glasses reflected a bright red color.

The eight Sheqi families took over the logistical work. With the encouragement of Principal Angers and Yuan Zhisheng, the college and the Japanese branch shook hands and made peace. The relationship between the two parties was unprecedentedly harmonious.

Thanks to them, the crew of the Monyach had time to go to a high-end restaurant to enjoy dinner. Otherwise, they would be still cleaning up the remains of the Corpse Guard near the artificial island at this moment. Their whole bodies would be filled with the smell of sea water and they would have to wear stuffy clothes. Protective suits dragged the remains of the corpse guards to the shore one by one.

Fortunately, all these complicated tasks were handed over to the logistics team of the Sheqi Ba family. Only a small number of crew members were left on the ship for regular guarding. I heard Ye Sheng said that their way of screening the guards was to draw lots, and the person who caught the moon would be Stay and whoever catches the star can come and eat.

In order to prevent cheating, they used the electronic lottery method. EVA wrote a small random program for them, which simulated trillions of times in one second and randomly selected a simulation result.

Professor Mance did not participate in the drawing of lots. He voluntarily stayed and guarded the ship. The party was not attractive to him, and the Monyach was where he belonged.

Ye Sheng was lucky enough to draw a star. He arrived here by special car from Haiying Artificial Island half an hour ago, and he sat opposite Lu Mingfei.

"Is she really Aji's sister?" Ye Sheng sat forward and asked in a low voice: "I have never heard Aji mention her sister. Is there any conflict between them?"

"They separated when they were very young." Lu Mingfei scooped up a spoonful of cold soup. The broth was thick, but unexpectedly refreshing and indeed very appetizing. "Miss Mai told me that she and Aki were Twin sisters, but not identical twins.”

"Are they fraternal eggs? Are they half-sisters? Or half-fathers?" Ye Sheng was not sure. Yaji grew up in a boarding house and she didn't even know who her parents were. , looking at it this way, maybe she really will have a sister.

"There is another possibility. They are all test-tube babies. Eggs and sperm are fertilized outside the body. They wait for early embryo development before being transplanted into the mother's uterus." Chu Zihang suddenly said: "We have been to Dalian Mountain No. 3 Boarding House , according to the information, that is the boarding house where Shutoku Aki grew up.

But when we went there, it was already deserted. We discovered the truth underground. It was actually a base used to study Deadpool. In the basement, we found three human-faced fish prototypes of Deadpool, as well as an autopsy table and The laboratory is a cruel and inhumane experimental base. "

"Before going to bed at night, Yaji sometimes talks to me about the boarding house where she lives." Ye Sheng hesitated and said, "She said she has a few friends there. When she couldn't sleep at night, she would talk to her in a low voice. , they will talk about some topics that they dare not talk about during the day.

When she left the boarding house, she was blindfolded the entire time, as if she had left by helicopter. She was the only child who left that day. We came to Japan before the wedding and tried to see if we could find any of her friends to attend, but we only found people with the same name, none of whom Aki knew. "

"The eight Sheqi families will send mixed-race babies with dangerous bloodlines to boarding houses, and undergo blood tests at the age of six. Based on the test results, they will be sent to boarding houses with a higher level of confidentiality to be raised, or sent back to the headquarters for training. "Caesar whispered.

"According to the results of the search by Chu Zihang and I, the Dalian Mountain Level 3 Boarding House was established in 1976 and officially put into use in 1977. Until 2000, there were records of qualified pedigrees every year, but there were no records after that year. Well, Shutoku Aki's friends are probably still imprisoned in a higher-end boarding house because of their dangerous bloodline, or they may have defected to become ghosts and joined the fierce ghosts."

"So that's it?" Ye Sheng sighed.

"2000, does this year have any special meaning?" Lu Mingfei asked.

The waiter brought another appetizer, goat milk mousse Bavarois, a dessert made from fresh goat milk shipped from Kyoto and decorated with lilies from Provence, France.

"That was 10 years ago. It should have been turned into a Deadpool research base 10 years ago." Chu Zihang said after waiting for the waiter to leave.

"Someone has been planning for God's awakening for 10 years?" Lu Mingfei said.

"More than 10 years." Chu Zihang said: "Before conducting formal experiments, there must be theoretical support. The people who studied Deadpool were fully prepared before starting. They encountered almost no setbacks and kept moving forward. Moving in the direction he wants."

"That's the mastermind?"

"The likelihood is high."

Ye Sheng, Chu Zihang and Caesar were chatting about the White King, and they all tacitly agreed not to talk about the corpse guard and the Dragon King who appeared in the afternoon.

After all, it was no longer the students' turn to deal with this level of topic. Since the principal didn't say anything, they treated it as normal.

After a while, cheers suddenly appeared in the hall.

Principal Ange walked in from the door wearing a pure white suit, holding a simple and noble cane in his left hand, with a red bow tied at the collar. Uesugi stood next to him and also changed into a suit, a solemn black one. The clothes he wore gave people an inexplicable majesty, and the originally lively atmosphere was suppressed a bit.

Minamoto Chisei and Inuyama Ga also arrived, following behind Uesugoshi with serious expressions.

"Good evening, classmates!" Principal Angers waved enthusiastically.

"Good evening, principal!" the commissioners said in unison.

The waiter brought a glass of wine to the principal. He raised the glass high and drank it in one gulp. The commissioners also toasted to him.

Angers smiled gently, "Although this is a banquet, our work is not over yet. Most of the students here are graduates. I don't think I need to stress it too much. Enjoy your dinner, but remember The accommodation is moderate, and I don’t think anyone will drink enough to have to be carried back home at night.”

"Don't worry, principal, I drink a lot!" someone said.

"Although I know you are joking, I still have to say that your belly cannot hold an ocean. No one's belly can hold an ocean." Angers put his index finger in front of his lips, "We are all professionals, we must Be professional, you will become unprofessional when you are drunk, so don’t get drunk.”

"Okay, principal!" someone shouted, raising his hand.

Ange waved to the man, nodded, looked at Lu Mingfei, and signaled with his eyes.

The four of them entered the innermost private room. Lu Mingfei also pulled Eli Yi and followed them in. They had made an appointment for this meeting before.

Ye Sheng looked at the door of the private room with some worry.

Chu Zihang stared into the deep corridor.

Caesar seemed to carelessly picked up the knife and fork and tore into the horse meat ham that had just been served.

In the private room, Ange sat in the main seat, while Uesugoshi, Minamoto Chisheng and Inuyama Ga sat on the same side.

The thick black curtains were drawn, and there were only bright lights. The room was completely soundproofed. You couldn't even hear the music outside, and you couldn't feel the noise from the outside world.

"Sit." Angre stretched out his hand and motioned for Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi to sit on the other side.

"EVA, block all surveillance. Everything in this room will be deleted from the records. I will just happily hold a banquet with my classmates in the hall until the end." Angers said after everyone was seated.

"Yes." A cold female voice came from the speaker.

Ange put his hands on the table, "We are late because we just came back from the hospital. The results of the paternity test have come out. Miss Eriki and Mr. Minamoto are both confirmed to be Uesugoshi's children."

Lu Mingfei was not surprised by this result. Yuan Zhisheng had come to Eriki to ask for some hair before, and clearly told him that it was for a paternity test.

Yuan Zhisheng remained silent.

Eriyi sat quietly, with an elegant and well-behaved posture.

"So, they are actually genetically siblings, right?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Yes." Uesugoshi said, "Minamoto is the older brother, and Eri is the younger sister."

"Then why did Yuan Zhisheng always feel that he and Eryi had no blood relationship before this?" Lu Mingfei looked at Yuan Zhisheng, trying to get an explanation from him.

"Let me tell you." Inuyama He spoke first, "I know more about what happened back then."

He let out a long sigh and said, "At this point, we must admit that this is a scam."

Yuan Zhisheng had a sullen face, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad.

Thanks to "Eternal Insect Mother" for the 100-point reward, "Chi Ling 0" for the 100-point reward, and "Zen Zheng" for the 100-point reward.
