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

Chapter 339 I Have an Idea

In the wind and snow, Lu Mingfei raised his arm to protect his face and struggled forward.

He felt no stability beneath his feet; the fierce wind cruelly tore at his clothes, each step swaying and screaming as if trying to throw him off balance.

call----

The white breath exhaled from his mouth rose into the air but quickly fell back down, washing over Lu Mingfei's chest without even causing a tactile sensation.

However, the golden eyes did not dim. The calm gaze swept left and right as if searching for something, but ultimately returned empty-handed.

Go, go, go.

Even mixed-race individuals cannot withstand the calamities of nature. If it were Lu Mingfei before he enrolled in school, he would probably have collapsed and died after walking in the snow and ice for several days. But he is different now.

As dragon blood surged into his body, his flesh mutated, and an exoskeleton enveloped his entire body, gradually transforming him into an alien.

The structure is ideally suited for heat preservation, and the components are naturally formed, allowing Lu Mingfei to engage in high-intensity exercise with minimal life-sustaining requirements.

Go, go, go.

The raging winds and blizzards were kept out of his mind; only the boy's mind wandered aimlessly.

(What exactly do I know about Lu Mingze...?)
Initially, it was simply because he helped him when he was kidnapped by the Cleaners. In that moment of despair, no matter who came, Lu Mingfei only thought that he would 'fall in love'.

Looking back now, the reason I trusted Lu Mingze so unconditionally was probably because we had known each other for a long time.

Odin, Nidhogg, Loki.

Having so many troublesome identities is really annoying.

Cleaners, mercenaries, the Vortex Gang, a narrow escape, the underwater bronze city
Having gone through so much, Lu Mingfei sometimes fought alongside Chu Zihang, sometimes followed in David's footsteps, and sometimes entrusted his trust to Caesar, but from beginning to end, only Lu Mingze remained by his side.

Regardless of their relationship, they should at least make things clear.
It was an unknown amount of time before Lu Mingfei finally found Lu Mingze.

As usual, the boy sat on the ice, fishing.

He remained completely unmoved when Lu Mingfei approached him.

"There probably won't be any fish at all, right?"

".Who knows."

"No, there won't be any."

Lu Mingze paused.

"You speak with such certainty, as if you know this world very well."

"No, we used the reverse reasoning method."

Lu Mingfei squatted down next to Lu Mingze.

"Let's compare the answers?"

"."

“When I came here last time, I asked you a question: ‘Why do we always fish in this ice cave where there are no fish?’ right?” Lu Mingfei lowered his head. “But now I understand, the question itself is the answer.”

[This should clearly be Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze's dream, but Lu Mingze has never once tried to change the dream himself to make fish appear here.]

Either this isn't Lu Mingze's dream but Lu Mingfei's, or it is—

"This is not a dream, or an illusion created by spiritual words, but reality."

Lu Mingze's body trembled.

"Reality cannot be changed, which is why you cannot create the [Fish]. I always thought that I was being pulled into an illusion by you, but actually, it's the opposite. I should have realized it sooner. Since I can [travel] to cyberpunk, I should be able to reach other places, such as this other world."

Looking around at the surrounding ice field, Lu Mingfei asked, "How much time has passed?"

"."

If there had been a third person present, they might have needed some time to process what had just happened.

But in reality, it was Lu Mingfei who was kept in the dark the whole time. He wasn't a smart person, so he always needed the people around him to give him hints again and again. The same was true for his relationship with Lu Mingze. If it weren't for Caesar's trial-and-error reasoning in the cyberpunk world, he probably wouldn't have been able to figure it out for a long time.

And this time was no different; without drawing inferences from similar cases and without Lu Mingze's hints, he still wouldn't have been able to guess it.

This is the real world.

This is also the real Lu Mingze.

【but】

But he may not be Lu Mingze from his own world.

If this is 'reality,' then it means that Lu Mingze has been living in a destroyed world, all alone, for a very, very long time.
A world where perhaps no humans even exist.

Moreover, there is no Lu Mingfei in this world.

That means—

"I, too, have chosen 'no trading,' right?"

Lu Mingfei scratched his head.

Lu Mingze will only survive and replace Lu Mingfei if the deal is not completed.

I have seen 'Lu Mingze' in many places so far.

Each scene change is a different 'Lu Mingze', but Lu Mingfei subconsciously feels that they are the same person.

After all, Lu Mingze is also part of the Black King, so it's not surprising that he shares memories from different parallel worlds. He was completely fooled and only discovered the truth now.

"I won't make a trade this time either."

"I know it's just another one of those endings."

Lu Mingze finally agreed to give a response.

"My brother is so selfish. Even seeing me living alone in this world, he still did such a cruel thing."

"No, quite the opposite. It is precisely because I saw you that I decided that we should live together."

"It can't be done."

Lu Mingze looked at Lu Mingfei with a cold eye.

"Because I am the evidence, you know? I hate Caesar. Because in so many timelines, Lu Mingfei, who is a useless, trashy, cowardly, and sycophantic person, embodying all the most annoying elements in the world, was finally born. It is precisely because he is so incompetent and cowardly that he was able to survive. But all of this was destroyed by that guy named Caesar Gattuso's meaningless romance."

"But it is also because of Caesar that we have the opportunity to stand in the ring again."

Lu Mingfei, who had never traded before, was now qualified to trade three times in this final battle.

certainly--

"The premise is that you can wake up from your sleep. Do I need to tell you? In reality, your body is practically a pineapple, you might as well be buried in the ground in advance," Lu Mingze said with a hint of sarcasm.

“That means it hasn’t been buried yet. My coming here is a clue.” Lu Mingfei remained unmoved. “I will wake up after I leave here. I will wake up no matter what.”

"Then, fight the [Black King] and win."

"Reality is never that simple."

“I know, but fortunately, I don’t have many choices.” Lu Mingfei grinned. “Trust me, Mingze.”

For a fleeting moment, the golden hue faded and disappeared, and Lu Mingfei closed his right eye.

"I have a plan."

The alarm bell in the ward rang out.
