Chapter 57 The Kitten and the Person
The burly, bearded hijacker watched helplessly as the young man, whose eyes had inexplicably turned gold, slowly and painstakingly broke his knife apart with his bare hands.
Is this really something an ordinary person could do? Could it be that the government knew about their actions and specially dispatched super soldiers created through secret experiments?
He remembered the superhero comics and movies he had read, and before the young man could reach out and grab him, he turned and ran in a panic.
But the young man didn't seem to have any intention of letting him go, and followed him step by step.
The aisle in the cabin wasn't very wide, and the bearded man, in his panic, didn't notice his surroundings at all.
So he stumbled and fell to the ground. When he got up again, the young man was only a few meters away from him.
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!" Seeing this, the bearded man panicked and grabbed the nearest young girl, shouting, "If you come any closer, I'll kill her!"
Upon hearing this threatening remark, the young man did stop in his tracks, but his gaze towards the bearded man was not one of panic, but rather one of pity.
Before the bearded man could even catch his breath, he looked down and met the girl's equally eerie golden eyes.
Then, everything went black before his eyes, and he completely lost consciousness.
During this time, Lu Mingfei remained seated, as he had already noticed the unusual nature of the passengers on the plane.
They are neither human nor ghost; to be precise, they are all hybrids.
It can be said that everyone on this plane, apart from the crew and the few unlucky hijackers who accidentally broke in, was of mixed race.
At this moment, they all lit up their golden eyes to prove their identities.
For a moment, the golden light in the eyes of the passengers almost turned the cabin into a golden sea.
At that moment, the fat man next to Lu Mingfei suddenly began to tremble.
Galbe felt he must be dreaming; otherwise, how could something as simple as organizing a hijacking end up like this after it had already succeeded?
It's like you're robbing a convenience store, only to find that the clerk is a part-time Peter Parker, while an intern reporter named Clark Kent is picking things out of the shelves.
Holy crap!
Galbe cursed under his breath. Now that all his accomplices had been subdued by those strange men, whether he could complete the hijacking mission depended entirely on himself.
Fortunately, he wasn't unprepared.
He used a special method to smuggle in a batch of explosives, which he hid on his person.
The trigger for the explosives was in his hands. If these people didn't agree to his demands, then they would all disintegrate and freefall together at this altitude of 10,000 meters.
He didn't believe these guys weren't afraid of even that.
Garbe took a deep breath, his throat bobbing, and he was about to stand up.
However, at that moment, a pair of hands stopped him.
"Feel sorry."
Then, Galbee found himself completely still, as if something was controlling his body.
Lu Mingfei manipulated the black fluid to slip into the pant leg, covering his entire body. Only after confirming that the bomb's location had been found did he leisurely take it out.
The young man who had noticed the unusual activity and was preparing to come over suddenly turned pale when he saw the bomb.
After all, those robbers with knives were just small fry and wouldn't amount to much.
But this bomber is different; he might actually take everyone on the plane with him.
He strode forward and, with a swift and decisive tackle, threw Galbe to his feet.
Lu Mingfei had already quietly retrieved the black fluids long before.
"Good job, lad!" The young man gave him a thumbs up. "You must be of mixed race too, right? Which family are you from?"
"Kassel College, Lu Mingfei."
But little did they know that as soon as Lu Mingfei finished speaking, he attracted the attention of almost the entire cabin.
The crowd, who had just been celebrating and making a ruckus, now all stared at him.
Under the gaze of countless golden eyes, Lu Mingfei felt no pressure whatsoever; instead, he calmly surveyed the scene.
"You're the S-rank one?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"it's me."
The next moment, Lu Mingfei noticed that the way these people were looking at him was as if they were looking at some rare species.
Even though the plane was still 10,000 meters above the ground, Lu Mingfei could already sense that several women were looking at him strangely, and even seemed to be making advances.
Strange? Could it be that my identity has been exposed and I'm now wanted by the academy?
Fortunately, the captain's announcement at that moment distracted them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, due to unforeseen circumstances, this flight will be returning to Chicago O'Hare International Airport. Thank you for your understanding, support and cooperation."
"It seems we won't be able to go to the East for the time being." The young man made a helpless expression, then extended his hand. "My name is Winston. I also studied at Kassel College before, so I should be considered your senior."
The vice-principal kept Lu Mingfei's appointment as principal a closely guarded secret; very few people knew about it. Lu Mingfei himself didn't seem to have any objections, considering it all just a title.
"Hello." Lu Mingfei politely extended his hand.
Winston leaned close to his ear and whispered familiarly, "Hey, junior, did you see the way those girls were looking at you? I bet you got at least this many invitations tonight?"
He stretched out a hand and waved it.
Lu Mingfei didn't understand what he meant, but simply nodded.
But one person in the crowd had been quietly watching his every move.
Zero narrowed his eyes as he watched the girls around him eagerly eyeing Lu Mingfei.
After the passenger plane returned to Chicago Airport, it was quickly surrounded by layers of police.
Fortunately, the hijackers had all been subdued by the passengers, and since these mixed-race individuals each had their own power and status, the incident quickly ended with the passengers bravely fighting the hijackers and ultimately winning.
As for the robbers' unrealistic statements, such as the strange man with golden eyes and the lizard people controlling the planet, the police simply assumed they were talking nonsense due to mental distress.
Although Lu Mingfei wanted to fly to Beijing in the East as soon as possible, due to the serious hijacking incident, the airport had strengthened its security measures, and the earliest flight he could take was tomorrow morning.
With no other option, he had to spend the night at the airport.
However, due to the large number of passengers whose flights were delayed that day, he was only able to secure one room in the end, and was therefore forced to share a room with Zero.
"You sleep on the bed," Lu Mingfei said, issuing an order that brooked no refusal. He then sat down in a chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Having cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts to his current level, he occasionally uses meditation to replace sleep, which even helps him improve his skills.
Faced with this arrangement, Zero simply followed the orders without uttering a word.
She climbed into bed, pulled the covers over herself, closed her eyes, and remained motionless. Anyone who didn't know better would think someone had put a doll on the bed.
As night fell, the full moon reached its zenith.
Even though he was not in his hometown, the moon was still the familiar moon. The silvery moonlight shone through the window onto Lu Mingfei, and vaguely, it seemed as if a wisp of white mist was rising from it.
Suddenly, as if struck by a divine inspiration, Lu Mingfei opened his eyes and looked to the side.
The moonlight also shone on Zero, and in the bright moonlight, every single one of her eyelashes seemed to be clearly visible.
One, two, three...
Lu Mingfei started counting without realizing it, and only after he finished did he belatedly realize what an absurd thing he had done.
However, Zero's sleeping posture is now very different from before. She is curled up in the quilt, just like a sleeping kitten.
Lu Mingfei didn't know which book he had read about it, but he remembered that this sleeping position was something only kittens would do when they were next to someone they were very close to.
But the two had only met for less than 24 hours, so how could they be considered close? It was nothing more than an exchange of interests.
Besides, humans are not cats after all.
A kitten will just cling to you foolishly, but a person is much more complicated.
They can fake it, they can act, they can betray, they can scheme...
Many people may not even be as good as their own kitten in the eyes of others.
Lu Mingfei closed his eyes again, but this time, for some reason, he fell into a deep sleep.
Moonlight streamed into the room, its light flowing like water.
Several footsteps of varying weights could be heard simultaneously in the small hotel corridor.
They were the girls who were on the plane during the day. Their gathering here at midnight must have been for some other purpose.
As an S-class, and as an S-class that hasn't appeared for a long time, one can imagine the nobility of Lu Mingfei's bloodline.
His offspring are also very likely to inherit his dragon blood.
A stable, high-bloodline hybrid is something many families can only dream of, and today presents such an opportunity.
Moreover, Lu Mingfei was handsome, and many girls were very interested in this mysterious young man from the East.
The girls bumped into each other in the hallway, and after exchanging glances, the air grew tense as none of them were willing to let go of their target inside the room.
Finally, they went forward together, ready to knock on the door.
But as soon as they got close to the door, it was opened from the inside.
Zero, wearing a bear-patterned pajama, stood at the door.
"Who are you looking for?" she asked coldly.
