Chapter 52 Until the End of Death
The girl with platinum blonde hair looked to be around fourteen years old. Her expressionless and indifferent demeanor was exactly like Chu Zihang's.
After she came in, she bypassed Lu Mingfei and went straight to the sleeping Mai Shude, who was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed peacefully.
"So they were in cahoots."
Lu Mingfei watched as she walked step by step to Jiu Demai, took out a syringe from her pocket, a finger-thick air syringe filled with blood-red liquid.
The girl removed the latter's gloves, inserted the needle into the vein in her wrist, and used compressed air to deliver the medicine into the blood vessel.
Lu Mingfei suddenly had a sense of déjà vu.
The scene before me was like a scene from a supernatural tale.
It was like being in a dilapidated temple. The young scholar, who had been drained of his yang energy and was half-dead, lay on the ground, having given up struggling and preparing to accept death. At that moment, a burly man with a full beard suddenly walked out of the temple.
They shout loudly for the vengeful ghost to die, and then casually feed it medicine to bring it back to life.
The only difference is that the burly man has been replaced by a girl with a cool and aloof expression, and the scholar has been replaced by a beautiful and mature woman.
In that case, what would a ghost be?
Lu Mingfei's divergent thoughts wandered around for a while before finally settling on himself.
Is he the ghost that sucks people's yang energy?
"Hmm? This feeling..."
Just as Lu Mingfei was lost in thought, the long-legged girl's sudden change in demeanor interrupted his attention.
The injection flowed through the woman's body with her blood, through her limbs and torso, and finally to her steadily beating heart. In an instant, the previously silent chemical and physiological changes took effect, and the veins on the woman's skin bulged instantly, followed by a surge of power.
Her narrow, previously closed eyes snapped open, her golden pupils glowing frighteningly. She sat bolt upright on the sofa, tilting her head back and taking a deep breath, as if trying to inhale the heavens and the earth into her body. Her will amplified several times over in an instant, her once alluring face now filled with majesty, her gaze carrying an oppressive force, displaying the authority of a queen.
Bloodline upgrade?
Lu Mingfei thought to himself that he had roughly guessed the effect of the injection. It was nothing more than increasing the concentration of dragon blood in the bloodline, which was exactly the same as the dragon blood potion that Solomon Temple Club was experimenting with.
However, the nanny group clearly had a more sophisticated control over the injections, and the sheer pressure alone surpassed that of the former, not to mention that there wasn't even a trace of madness in the long-legged girl's eyes at this moment.
But... what's the price?
Anything with outstanding effects will always have side effects, and Lu Mingfei didn't believe that something with such miraculous effects wouldn't have some side effects.
"Are you about to transform into your queen form?" Lu Mingfei asked, looking at Mai Shude suddenly without any apparent reason.
After a moment of silence, a flaw appeared on Mai Shude's face, which was full of queenly majesty. She sighed helplessly, "If I were really the queen, wouldn't you be dragged out and executed for speaking like that? This state comes at a price."
There is indeed a price to pay. As a hybrid, improving one's bloodline is the best way to become stronger. However, dragon blood is innate and contains the bloodthirsty spirit of the dragon race. Improving one's bloodline is an extremely dangerous act.
In other words, the raw materials in their potions come from the purest dragon fetal blood given to them by their boss.
Otherwise, with such a significant improvement, an ordinary hybrid would have been completely corrupted by the dragon's spirit long ago, becoming a Deadpool covered in scales with claws in its fingers.
"This is a locking agent." The white-haired girl took out another air needle from her body and placed it in Mai Shude's hand. Inside was a deep blue potion.
She then fell silent, simply standing in the living room without sitting down or making any other movement, just looking at Lu Mingfei.
Looking into those eyes, Lu Mingfei felt inexplicably uneasy. The girl's gaze made him feel as if she were an old friend of many years.
Lu Mingfei also watched. After the two stared at each other for three seconds, he blinked, but the girl just stared straight at him, her expressionless face as if frozen.
"I wonder what this person's...name is?" Lu Mingfei asked awkwardly. "Why are you staring at my face like that? Is there something on my face?"
"Zero," the girl said with a slight Russian accent.
"Russians? Just one word? Shouldn't it be a long string of 'Nova's'? Just this one English word? Zero?"
"That's also a Russian word, 'zero,' and that's my number too," she said casually. "Just call me Zero."
"Zero?" Lu Mingfei looked at her, then at the long-legged girl beside her waiting for her body to recover naturally. "Since you're one of them, you should have a code name, right? Like Iceberg Girl?"
Upon hearing this, even Lu Mingfei himself was taken aback.
I don't know why he would say such rubbish that makes you speechless.
Perhaps he didn't know how to talk to the girl in front of him, or perhaps the girl's gaze was too pure...
Even when Jiang Mingzi transformed into a woman and leaned against him, he remained completely unmoved...
In short, his instinct was to change the subject. The conversation made him feel the awkwardness of starting a blind date and both parties trying to find topics to talk about.
"A girl with no job, no income, and no connections."
"What?" Lu Mingfei didn't quite hear clearly.
"Three-no girl." The girl walked up to Lu Mingfei, her icy face close to his. "Three-no girl, that's the nickname they gave me."
"Uh, okay, okay." Lu Mingfei quietly took half a step back, widening the distance between them, and sat on the sofa as if nothing had happened.
"Three no's, that's the three no's from anime."
Looking at the girl in front of him, Lu Mingfei suddenly understood the meaning of the name: speechless, heartless, and expressionless. Wasn't this the perfect representative of the "three no's"?
Especially her platinum blonde hair, paired with that expressionless, delicate face, is simply stunning.
But why did he feel so familiar with her?
Lu Mingfei was a little confused. He didn't consider himself the kind of scoundrel who would hit on girls with a familiar face, but the girl in front of him gave him that feeling. Her eyes seemed to have been waiting for many years.
It makes one feel inexplicably sorry for them, yet also leaves them puzzled.
"Do you still remember me?"
The girl spoke again, her voice completely calm, yet Lu Mingfei sensed a faint expectation in her words.
But what kind of development is this? Mind reading?
Lu Mingfei has already reached the level of a minor supernatural being, and his Dharma body is complete. At least he can defend against mental attacks. Logically speaking, even if it were mind reading, he should have noticed something, but he didn't notice anything at all. Was it not mind reading, but prediction?
Thinking this, Lu Mingfei subconsciously wanted to activate his supernatural powers and use his senses to check his body.
Like a mirage, he looked into those icy blue eyes. The flames that had just appeared shattered into tiny streaks of fire, and fragmented memories surfaced in his mind: the dark shadows in the clouds, the grand ball, the heavy snow, and the girl lying in a pool of blood.
A sentence surfaced in his mind along with his memories, and he softly opened his mouth:
"We will not abandon one another, nor betray one another, until the very end of our lives."
