Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 110 Awakening (BGM: HATENA)

pat.

The boy's broken body fell to the ground.

Lu Mingfei fell to his knees.

In front of him, the mechanical wreckage of Adam Heavy Hammer had been scrapped into a useless pile of metal, and the imitation Seven Deadly Sins had carbonized into ash in Lu Mingfei's palm, and the golden pupil in his right eye had dimmed like a candle in the wind.

Win. No, it's not a win.

At the moment the battle is over, whoever has the higher altitude will be the winner.

But at this moment, Lu Mingfei and Adam Chongchui had completely lost the ability to resist. The former felt that he could not even move a finger, and Adam Chongchui's entire neural network had crashed. After Lu Mingfei opened his brain, the human brain, deprived of nutrition, would probably suffer complete nerve cell necrosis within seconds.

Lu Mingfei is no different. If left alone, he will die of natural causes within an hour.

The two were surrounded by soil that was still burning. The botanical garden had been completely ravaged into a miserable state during the battle. The air was filled with a burnt smell, and the flames flickered in the night, like countless greedy eyes looking for their prey.

Lu Mingfei did not force himself to use his arms, but his brain was still working.

The force of the magnetic field rotation was barely forced out, pushing the surrounding flames towards the heavy hammer's severed head.

Zi La La.
Having lost his vocal system, Chongchui didn't even roar or scream at Lu Mingfei.

But as he watched the increasingly bright red artificial eye gradually melt, Lu Mingfei felt as if he heard a silent scream.
Haha.

It’s so fucking cool.

Lu Mingfei used up his last bit of strength——

He raised his middle finger towards the burning remains of the sledgehammer.

Buzz.
Click
However, the moment he completed this action, the ground where he was lying suddenly began to tremble.

The cracks spread out, wrapping Lu Mingfei in the gaps of the spider web. As the ground collapsed, a large amount of cone-like dust particles splashed out!

This is! !
Click, click, click, click, click, click, click——————————

Lu Mingfei's expression changed.

damn it.
It was the [Word Spirit] that the heavy hammer hadn't fully unleashed! It had destroyed the entire structure of the floor! ——If this continued, this place and the two floors above would be shattered, and in my current state, I would be crushed to death!

Damn it! Hammer!
You're even more despicable than a frog's piss! Can't you let me rest in peace even after you die?

The whole earth began to tremble.

Starting from Arasaka Tower, the strong tremors began to spread throughout Night City and could be clearly felt!

【Boom boom boom! ! .】

Lu Mingfei wanted to move. He desperately wanted to survive, and his blood left an ugly trail on the ground.

But... I can't move anymore.

My vision became increasingly blurred, and my consciousness faded.

His breath seemed to be loose, with a hissing sound that was obviously caused by throat injury. Lu Mingfei looked up at the sky.

That was the hole he had smashed with Adam's sledgehammer. From his angle, he could see the dozens of meters long neon screen hanging from the front of Arasaka Tower.

Of course, even the electronic screen specifically used to display the Arasaka icon was now covered with cracks due to the commotion caused by Lu Mingfei and others.

It's just cracks now.

But one day.
His consciousness gradually blurred, and what Lu Mingfei saw in a trance was a small blue shadow.

[Lu Mingfei, hey. Don’t close your eyes————]

[Hold on a little longer————]

awareness
"grass!"

Rebecca's prosthetic eye scanned the writhing wounds all over the boy's body.

The bone spurs, spawned by the violent blood rush, were retreating back into the body, tearing new furrows of flesh along the way. Rebecca tore off the lining of her bulletproof vest and pressed it against Lu Mingfei's abdomen, instantly dyeing the nanofibers an eerie golden-red.

Before Lu Mingfei fell into a coma and his blood-soaked dragon-like structure dissipated, Rebecca still saw his horrible and hideous body.

But she didn't intend to ask more questions, and didn't even care.

She took the small anti-gravity equipment, buckled it on herself and Lu Mingfei, and then flew out of the pit.

On the ground, Falco had also taken David away.

Lu Mingfei got the relevant information about [Prosthetic King Kong], there must be a way to treat David in the later stage!
The Arasaka army has no way to regroup now, and Militech will not intervene. They will even help Rebecca and others stop Arasaka - the so-called enemy of my enemy is my friend, which is exactly true.

As long as he could get Lu Mingfei out of Night City, this matter would come to an end.

As long as we can reach that place, as long as we can reach there——

But
"Don't die, Lu Mingfei! I won't let you die on your own!"

Carrying Lu Mingfei on her back, Rebecca muttered with both heartache and anger.

"We've already agreed. We've already agreed—"

【.call out----】

The sky of Night City was dyed red by tonight's carnival, and the whole city was filled with mobs and burning flames.

The trauma team's airships blocked the sky route, and Arasaka's army lost the right to track.

A crazy night.

A wild night.

A night that will surely be etched in Night City history has ended.

【——————】

In the darkness of the mind that is so deep that it cannot be invaded by anyone.

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes.

That's the countryside.

The warm sunshine spread across the earth, and the breeze blew through the rice fields. The rice ears swayed slightly, emitting a faint fragrance. You could even see doe walking in the grass in the distance.

Lu Mingfei understood in an instant that this was his [Spiritual Space]

Just like every time before, it was Lu Mingze’s invitation.

But what’s different from the past is that the previous scenes were always so lonely, desolate and empty, as if implying that the little devil was very lonely inside.

Full moon, sea, icebergs and so on.

But now, it is a rural landscape like this.

"Lu Mingze~~"

Lu Mingfei called out to the little devil, but received no response.

After thinking about it, he decided to try to find his younger brother.

"Hey! Stop hiding~"

Lu Mingfei shouted as he walked, while also paying attention to the scenery nearby.

The river meanders through the mountains like a silver waterfall. It rushes past, creating ripples on the water. From a distance, it looks like a flowing sky-blue river.

As the sun sets, the sky is tinged with a faint red glow, spreading across the ground. The mountains in the distance are looming, appearing particularly hazy in the twilight.

It is really gentle and warm here, like sweet milk after being boiled.

Lu Mingfei found Lu Mingze in the rice field.

The little devil had his back to Lu Mingfei. He was still wearing the elegant black suit, but now he was sitting on the dirt ground in an ungraceful manner, watching the sun gradually sinking in the distance.

"Hey, bro, wanna go get some ramen?"

Lu Mingfei jumped out and started with a line that was heavily influenced by the second dimension. He got very close to Lu Mingze, but he didn't react at all.

Her butterfly-like eyelashes were dotted with golden light, and she didn't tremble at all, as if she had completely ignored the brother beside her.

".Angry?"

Lu Mingfei scratched his face awkwardly.

He had never had to deal with the quarrels between brothers during adolescence. He didn't have a very good relationship with the 1.6-meter-tall Lu Mingze. Usually when they were having a quarrel, he would switch to his secondary account and pretend to be a girl to tease Lu Mingze.

"Brother, you shouldn't have chosen the violent blood."

Lu Mingze finally spoke, although he didn't look at Lu Mingfei, his voice was vague as if he was talking to himself.

"Why?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"You'll become too strong."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"."

Lu Mingze looked at Lu Mingfei sadly.

"Being strong doesn't mean being the strongest, and being the strongest doesn't mean being unmatched—sometimes, half-baked characters can make the story quite awkward." "Brother, you should have been a boring loser, but you're so gentle, so you'd burn your life for others to make a deal with a bad demon like me."

"Then."

"And then solve a certain crisis that exists in the original world?" Lu Mingfei interrupted.

"."

Lu Mingze finally turned his head and looked at Lu Mingfei in surprise.

"I'm so sorry for ruining your deal." Lu Mingfei shrugged. "I've always suspected that you were so long-winded in Night City, and yet you still like the Riddler when you return to your original world. Maybe there's some kind of [restriction]."

"I've watched enough anime to know what the tricks are at this point."

"Why, are you planning to let me trade my body to you so that you can crush that thing called Nidhogg?"

Lu Mingfei touched his chin, a little confused. "That's not right. The existence of Night City doesn't mean that Nidhogg won't appear. After all, this is a future where 'humans defeat dragons'."

"."

"Still not willing to tell me?" Lu Mingfei scratched his face instead. "Are there [rules] again?"

Lu Mingze said nothing, but leaned against the rice ears and stared at the setting sun in the distance.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei also squatted down. He deliberately leaned on Lu Mingze and put a little weight on him. Sure enough, the little devil's small body immediately tilted, and his face was a little embarrassed, but he still pretended that he didn't feel anything.

"Brother, come to think of it, have we two brothers ever had a life talk?"

"Brother, you also know that I am your brother, not Kousaka Kirino."

"Speaking of which, are you really a man?" Lu Mingfei rubbed his hands and said, begging for mercy. "Please, please tell me you're actually the younger sister! You're just shy so you're pretending to be a man!"

"." Lu Mingze smiled lightly and tilted his head, "Who knows~"

This little devil.

Lu Mingfei sighed, then smiled carelessly, "Anyway, bro, have you ever heard of a saying—"

[When you are the most lonely and hopeless, there is a door that will open beside you. ]

Lu Mingze raised his brows.

"It sounds like chicken soup for the motherland's flowers, deceiving people into continuing to work hard and pumping up their spirits."

Lu Mingze stuck out his tongue and made a bitter face, mocking the words.

"Haha! Right~ But I think it's good to be cheated once."

Lu Mingfei also looked up, gazing at the distant red sun alongside Lu Mingze. The afterglow of the setting sun cast tiny specks of light on his face, and his gaze passed through the swaying ears of wheat.

"I waited for almost eighteen years, and at the moment when I was at my worst, the door opened."

Lu Mingfei didn't know what the "original world line" that Lu Mingze was talking about was.

He didn't know what the "Urban Superpower Youth Pain Story" that Lu Mingze had always emphasized was.

He didn't know who was supposed to open the door for him.

But this time, in this world, for Lu Mingfei, the worst time was that damn kidney-stripping man, and the person who opened the door.
[Brother, from now on, the spirit of the word "Don't Die" is released for you.]

On the operating table, desperate to the point of giving up everything, all Lu Mingfei could see were the ugly faces of the kidney-cutters, his own hideous face reflected through their scalpels, and...
Lu Mingze's lonely yet gentle smile.

He probably felt that he wasn't even looking at him at that time.

However, as Lu Mingze said, he is a relic, an electronic ghost in his own brain. Not only can he see Lu Mingfei's vision, but sometimes, Lu Mingfei can also overlook Lu Mingze from a higher perspective.

He is a mysterious demon, a devil who plays tricks on the world.

But
At that time, the look he gave her was not the look a demon should have - too soft, too sad, like melted gold, flowing with unspeakable loneliness.

"Thanks, Narusawa."

Just like now.

A gust of wind swept across the wheat field, stirring up golden waves. Lu Mingze's tie fluttered in the wind. He looked at Lu Mingfei in surprise, his eyes drooping slightly. The two of them cast long, thin shadows in the twilight.

His eyes followed Lu Mingfei's smile, and suddenly, his pupils contracted as if pricked by something.

Lu Mingze's eyes flickered. For a moment, a glint of light flashed in his golden pupils, but it was quickly swallowed by the dusk. He pursed his lips gently, the curve of his mouth looking like both a smile and a sigh.

"You know what?" His voice was a little hoarse. "Every time you leave like this, I feel so lonely. Just like this sunset, it could stay here forever, but it insists on sinking."

His voice was so soft it sounded like a sigh. "I wish you could need me just once, like you did before."

Lu Mingfei reached out to touch Lu Mingze, but found that his fingers had passed through the rice stalks.

Only then did he realize that he was standing on the border between life and death.

"Go back, brother."

Lu Mingze turned and walked towards the sunset.

"Those important people of yours are still waiting for you. Although I didn't save the damsel in distress this time, I hope you'll fight tooth and nail for the girl you love next time."

His figure gradually faded into the twilight. "But remember, I'm always here, waiting to make the next deal with you."

The last ray of sunlight disappeared over the horizon, and the wheat fields fell into darkness.

Lu Mingfei heard shouts coming from afar, and the voice became clearer and clearer until it brought him back to reality.

In his last moments before fading, he seemed to see Lu Mingze standing at the end of the wheat field, watching Lu Mingfei's figure gradually disappear into the distance. The wind in the wheat field lifted the corner of his clothes, but his eyes never moved away until Lu Mingfei's figure completely disappeared into the twilight.

The golden eyes flickered in the darkness, like a lonely star about to go out.
-
When Lu Mingfei opened his eyes again, what he saw was...
"A strange sky. It's not strange at all! Why are you surrounding me?!"

Surrounding him were pairs of eyes.

They were not unfamiliar at all, they were Rebecca, Qiwei, Misty and so on——

"Misty? Why are you here?"

Lu Mingfei sat up suddenly, making a strange cry in the process, because it was just a simple movement but he felt as if all the bones in his body were crushed and reassembled.

"Don't get excited, idiot!"

"Lie down."

Rebecca and Qiwei pushed Lu Mingfei back onto the bed, while Misty put away the tarot cards beside her and spoke slowly.

"Because this is not your base, this is—"

"Hey! Is L awake?"

A voice that was familiar, but which Lu Mingfei couldn't remember at the moment, sounded from an angle that Lu Mingfei couldn't see.

The bed was shaking due to the vibration of the ground. The person who spoke quickly pushed away the others and came to Lu Mingfei.

The moment he saw the other person, Lu Mingfei was stunned.

you are
"It's me! It's me, L! It's me! Jack Wilson!"

The burly black-haired man with the odd hairstyle laughed excitedly. "You fell on our property, and I was quick enough to bring you all back."

"you--"

boom! !

Before Lu Mingfei could say anything, the door was pushed open again.

This time, the visitor didn't even speak, nor did he give Lu Mingfei time to ask questions. A black shadow roughly pushed Jack Wilson aside and came to Lu Mingfei's bed.

Snapped!
Hands passed across Lu Mingfei's cheeks, and shadows covered him. Lu Mingfei was so scared that he subconsciously shrank his body and burrowed into the white sheets.

And in front of him.
The pupils of the woman who broke in suddenly contracted, and her orbicularis oculi muscle twitched uncontrollably, causing the red eyeshadow under her eyes to spread out like tiny stardust, forming an unbearable appearance.

The whole person looked like a projection with the pause button pressed, with only the nostrils flaring rapidly - his hands were tightly clasping the bed sheet, rolling up a piece of white cloth.

The moment their gazes met, the bags under her lower eyelids suddenly rippled. Tears that had been accumulating for a long time burst through the fine line of defense of her eyelashes.

"You"'s broken sobs overflowed from the trembling lips, the carefully painted lip glaze was bitten into crescent-shaped teeth marks, and the silver-dyed hair fell like a curtain, covering the spasmodic cheek muscles and distorted facial expression.

Obviously the person who was rescued was Lu Mingfei, but she cried as if she was the one who was rescued.

Don't make it so sad.
Lu Mingfei laughed miserably.

It was clearly the he that I typed with great difficulty.

"I kept my promise and brought the boss back." Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, revealing a somewhat timid yet relaxed smile. "And then... I'm back too, Big Sister."

"Welcome back, stupid disciple!"

The broken tail tone melted into the sudden burst of sobs.

"Well!"

She suddenly hugged Lu Mingfei tightly, causing the latter to become nervous and afraid to speak.

Intermittent crying sounds penetrated my eardrums.

Lucy's carefully styled hair was scattered into a silver sea covering his face. Tears dripped down her chin onto the nerve interface on Lu Mingfei's neck, and the wound was slightly painful.

but.
Not bad
