Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 268 Mission: 05-5 Destiny Waiting Room

"Do you know each other?" Lu Mingfei asked blankly.

"No, I just know her." Finkel's expression was solemn, and he read out the words as if he were reading a report: "Nero Fortuna, born in Italy, an orphan adopted by a church family, suspected to be the remnant of a declining mixed-blood family. He awakened during a dragon attack, and after the 3E test, his bloodline was assessed to be at least Beyond Grade A..."

"Although the content is correct, don't you think this is a bit rude, brother?" Nero looked at Finkel with a smile.

"Junior sister, these are all the information that Norma has already made public." Finkel persuaded her earnestly, "I still respect personal privacy very much and will not randomly check those that are not public."

This was the truth. If Finger had wanted to, he could have compiled the measurements and menstrual periods of every female student in Kassel into a book, but he didn't.

probably.

"Journalists say they respect privacy. Brother, don't you think this joke is funny?"

"It's funny," Finkel admitted, "but I mean it."

"Wait, wait." Lu Mingfei came back to his senses and interrupted the conversation in shock, his eyes moving back and forth between the two people in front of him: "This is the first time I've heard of something called super-high-risk... But we'll talk about this later. Brother Finger, are you from the News Department?"

"I am the president."

Finger bowed formally: "And he has been re-elected for eight years."

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and instantly realized that this was someone he absolutely could not afford to offend, and was glad that he had already treated him to a meal.

Nero felt the same way. The so-called Kassel Academy News Department was a bunch of shameless people who could turn black into white and white into black, with no moral compass. Normally, they were all about money, chasing after the hottest people and events and desperately adding fuel to the fire. But if someone accidentally offended them...

Unless he's a natural saint, expect to be dug up all sorts of stories about him pulling the hair of the girl in the seat in front of him in elementary school. A genius in math and computers, Finger could even hack into Norma's database—though he didn't need to. With someone like him as bureau chief, the news department could easily access even the Pentagon like going to the bathroom.

As a result, the News Department was known as the second most untouchable group at Kassel Academy, while the first was the Equipment Department, because if they tampered with the equipment, you would be blown to pieces.

Fortunately, most of the time these two groups of people are quite peaceful, so it is not easy to offend them.

"Brother!"

"Hey! What's wrong?"

Lu Mingfei's call of "Senior Brother" was even sweeter than the previous two days: "Hey, Senior Brother, how are the rumors about me spreading in the academy?"

"Want to know?" Finkel winked, the corners of his mouth trembling in his beard. "Then why don't you buy me a Coke?"

"He's just bullying you because you haven't registered on the academy forum yet." Nero smiled. "Your personal information has actually been pinned to the top of the forum's homepage for almost a month."

Finger immediately turned his head and said, "Junior sister, you are not a decent person. Now that you've said that, what should I do with my Coke?"

"Okay, then I'll shut up." Nero took a step back and made a gesture of covering his mouth.

Most of her personal information in this world was fake and would not stand up to Finger's scrutiny. Compared to Lu Mingfei, whose personal information was as thin as a blank sheet of paper, she could not afford to offend Finger.

Finger turned around and sighed, "Well, since my sister-in-law treated me to so many chicken feet yesterday, I won't keep you in suspense.

"The future star of the academy, Lu Mingfei, an 'S'-level freshman who hasn't appeared in ten years, is a nobody with no sense of existence in his nine-year student life. His only role in the class is to lower the average score..." "Hey, I used to be a class leader!" Lu Mingfei protested.

"You mean that health committee member position that no one ran for? Fine, I'll add it later." Finkel shrugged nonchalantly. "By the way, your college entrance examination results are also in that file. Everyone in the college should have seen it by now."

Lu Mingfei covered his face. "Well, I should at least be thankful that the most shameful part wasn't revealed."

"You mean that smurf account you use to tease your cousin? Honestly, that's exactly what I'm going to write in the next headline."

"Don't! Don't!"

Lu Mingfei quickly grabbed Finger's hand and said, "Brother, if you do this, I really can't face anyone!"

"What are you afraid of? Your cousin won't see it." Finkel waved his hand, as heroic as a hero: "This information is conservatively estimated to be worth at least two thousand US dollars. At worst, we can split it 20% and 80%! Just consider it as taking care of my junior!"

"This..." Lu Mingfei was obviously shaken.

"It probably belongs to someone else." Nero reminded quietly.

Hearing this, Lu Mingfei looked at Finger in astonishment. The shameless paparazzi, stroking his chin, said unwaveringly, "We need to eat. 20% is already a lot, okay?"

"Where did you say you would respect my privacy?"

"I respect money more, and privacy can be turned into money."

Lu Mingfei fainted on the spot.

As night fell, the sound of distant and solemn chanting drifted in from the window, faintly like a church service. The sound of bells echoed along with the chanting, causing Lu Mingfei, who was still drowsy, to open his eyes.

An abnormally large moon hung in the night sky, filling an entire floor-to-ceiling window at the train station. Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked around. The station was deserted. All the lights were off, the only source of light being the enormous full moon, which cast a silent silver glow across the hall.

He quickly realized that this wasn't the real world, so he looked around. Sure enough, the boy in black reappeared. The boy who called himself Lu Mingze nodded and said, "Good evening" to Lu Mingfei.

"Long time no see." This time Lu Mingfei didn't feel panicked anymore, and he nodded calmly.

"Have you been happy these days?" the boy smiled politely yet distantly. "Have you experienced the beauty of power?"

"It's just average. And it has nothing to do with power."

"No, people without power can't make a single move in the world." Lu Mingze glanced down at his wrist. "I won't waste too much of your time this time. I'm here to remind you—your destiny has begun to change."

"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei frowned.

"On the road of destiny, everyone only has a one-way ticket." Lu Mingze chuckled. "But you've been unable to let go of the ticket for a long time."

"The ticket to power and authority."

The next second, Lu Mingfei woke up from his dream.
