Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 245 Mission: 02-5 Dark Forest
"Okay, crisis resolved."

Nero put the Yama Blade away against his sleeve, concealing it within his body. He turned around, frowned slightly, and asked, "Anything else you want to ask?"

Lu Mingfei looked around at the mess in bewilderment, and only realized after a moment that Nero was speaking to him. He raised his hand and asked with a spineless, weeping face, "Yes, is it too late for me to quit now?"

"of course can."

The first half of Nero's words made Lu Mingfei smile, but the second half made him collapse: "If you think that person won't come looking for you again."

"But you all have superpowers!" He knelt on the ground, holding his head. He looked like the figure in the famous painting "The Scream." "If a little guinea pig like me joins you, wouldn't that be like asking for death?"

"Theoretically, you have superpowers," Nero explained seriously. "When we were fighting with the Word Spirits just now, you should have heard the language we used, right? Didn't you experience any strange hallucinations or auditory hallucinations?"

Although her words were fake, the dragon language was real. Moreover, with such a fierce battle, she didn't believe that the person in Lu Mingfei's illusion would not appear.

Just as she thought, Lu Mingfei's words stopped abruptly after "Hallucination? I feel everything is normal...", revealing a solemn expression as if he was reminiscing.

After a moment, he raised his head and asked, "...You're not hallucinating, are you?"

Nero frowned, pulled out his cane without saying a word, and hit Lu Mingfei on the head.

"Ouch!" He cried out in pain and muttered softly, "There's no need to prove it this way, right?"

“This is the most practical approach.”

Nero put away his cane and replied calmly, "This is the situation. You have dragon blood flowing through your body. When you first come into contact with dragon script, you should experience strange hallucinations and auditory hallucinations—that's called clairvoyance. The clairvoyance means your bloodline has been awakened, and it won't be long before you awaken your own words."

"That sounds good." Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he immediately realized something terrible was going on: "Wait, then you definitely won't let me go, right?"

This was his intuition, born from years of experience appreciating anime. Since this world wasn't truly normal, yet most people were able to live unaware of it, it proved that all abnormal individuals were strictly controlled. Kassel Academy was likely a stronghold of such abnormal humanity. "And what about Long? And who was that guy you just fought?"

"It's the kind of dragon you see in Dragon Quest. Do you know anything about Norse mythology?"

Not knowing why Nero suddenly asked this, he answered honestly: "I only know Odin, Thor and Loki."

"It's better to find out later."

Nero said, looking off into the distance and narrowing his eyes. "That means you should be able to pass the interview directly. Congratulations."

"So I really can't escape?"

Lu Mingfei sat down on the ground as if his bones had been pulled out, sighing and scratching his head. Then he paused, as if remembering something: "So this isn't an interview?"

"I told you it was an accident."

"You're lying! You must have been outside the door when I called!"

Lu Mingfei jumped up and was glanced at by Nero. He immediately raised his hands and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Don't jump to conclusions. What if my words can teleport?" Nero stepped back with his hands folded, leaning against a pillar, and said lightly.

Turning her head, she continued, as if interested, "Have you ever thought about what your word spirit might be?"

"360-degree, absolute defense." Lu Mingfei answered without hesitation. His will to survive was truly too strong. But Nero didn't laugh at him. After a moment's silence, she took the initiative to change the subject: "So you've realized you're not an ordinary person. Have you thought about how to say goodbye to your first love?"

Lu Mingfei didn't say anything, but his scratching of his head only intensified. After a long pause, he sighed and said, "Let's just part ways amicably. What else can we do?"

As he spoke, he suddenly became alert again: "By the way, how do you know I had a first love? Just now it seemed like..."

"It's easy to get a person's complete information." Nero said quietly.

"No, but I simply..." Lu Mingfei was speechless for a moment and scratched his head again.

Seeing him like this, Nero sighed, but still couldn't help but reveal the spoiler: "You don't think that others won't know about this kind of thing unless you tell them, do you?"

Lu Mingfei felt as if there was something stuck in his throat, and his face gradually turned red.

"It's just that because you don't say it, they won't let you know they've figured it out." Nero shook his head sympathetically. "Have you read The Three-Body Problem?"

"I know, but the second part was just released last year. You've actually read it?"

"This is the Dark Forest. You're not the only one who likes that girl, but no one wants to reveal themselves until they're sure they've got her. If someone approaches her with a crazy face, what do you think the others will do?"

Listening to Nero's metaphor, Lu Mingfei murmured and repeated: "What will happen?"

After subconsciously saying "Who's crazy about this?", he came to his senses and remembered the plot of the book: "Eliminate the opponent... broadcast? But..."

"They have more advanced means of communication than you."

Lu Mingfei was speechless. Indeed, his communication circle was so small, and the amount of information was pitifully small. In more advanced and intimate communication channels, there was certainly a lot of information he was not aware of.

This includes the fact that he likes Chen Wenwen.

He felt his hands and feet gradually becoming cold, as if his heart was gradually stopping beating.

At the critical moment of life and death just now, he had clearly made the extremely difficult decision to give up. He tried hard to convince himself that he did not have to be with Chen Wenwen, and he deeply realized that Chen Wenwen was just a small experience in his life.

But when Nero revealed that Chen Wenwen knew that he liked her, he still felt deathly silence and coldness.

Chen Wenwen knows.

Chen Wenwen knows everything.

When others mentioned Lu Mingfei in front of Chen Wenwen, they would surely laugh at him for wanting to eat swan flesh. With so many people who liked Chen Wenwen, they would surely say bad things about Lu Mingfei, right? What kind of expression would Chen Wenwen have when she heard those words?
Chen Wenwen is very gentle. She won't say bad things about others, nor will she agree with them. But——

Obviously, she wouldn't refute it. She wouldn't tell others, "Lu Mingfei isn't as bad as you say." Even Lu Mingfei herself didn't have the confidence to say such a thing.

If this were not the case, Lu Mingfei should have encountered more clear hostility instead of being completely clueless like he is now.

So what was Chen Wenwen thinking when she faced Lu Mingfei?
