Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 277 Mission: 06-4 Declaration of Destruction
Lu Mingfei finally accepted the invitation. He and the boy sat side by side on the windowsill. Outside, just as "Lu Mingze" had said, there was a huge sunset, as red as blood, reflected on the deep blue sea.

Kassel Academy wasn't near the seaside, and it wasn't evening yet, so the window sill wasn't the lawn at Kassel Academy that had just been destroyed yesterday, but rather jagged rocks pounded by the waves. Clearly, everything Lu Mingfei saw was an illusion; the real him was probably slumped over the table, fast asleep.

"If I fail the exam, it will definitely be your fault." Lu Mingfei stared at the sunset and said with a pout.

"Don't trust me so much?" Lu Mingze turned and smiled at him, "Don't worry, you will write down the answers carefully on the test paper."

"So you really are my clairvoyance. Tell me honestly, am I a double personality?"

Lu Mingfei had pondered this boy for a long time. Why had he appeared in his vision? Why did he seem to know everything Lu Mingfei was thinking? Why was he talking so mysteriously about "exchange"?

Perhaps there's only one answer. The so-called "Lu Mingze" is actually another personality of Lu Mingfei himself. If Lu Mingfei agrees to swap with him, he will be the real Lu Mingfei from now on.

"Is that so?"

Lu Mingze gave a rather provocative smile: "But it's true, no one can see me except you, so it's okay to think of me as another soul living in your body."

Lu Mingfei looked at him fiercely: "Tell me, did you steal my Word Spirit too?!"

"Why not think about it the other way around? Maybe it was you who stole my body."

"Nonsense! I've been Lu Mingfei ever since I can remember."

"But not from birth, is it?"

Lu Mingze's meaningful words made Lu Mingfei blink blankly. Then he stretched out his hand towards Lu Mingfei and said like a pyramid schemer, "Let's get back to the point. Since you want the Word Spirit, do you want to trade? Trade the power of the Word Spirit with me."

A creepy feeling surged up from Lu Mingfei's back. He shuddered and shrank towards the other side of the window. "Forget it, I think being a loser is pretty good."

"You really think so?"

Lu Mingze's smile was filled with inquiry and mockery, and it seemed to be more than that, making it look particularly intriguing: "If you just want to be a waste, why did you shoot at that time?"

Lu Mingfei blushed and argued, "That's different. Those who don't help others in need are not useless, they are cowards!"

"What's the difference? Those who can stand up at a time like that are always powerful. You can no longer be considered a waste."

Lu Mingfei was speechless. Lu Mingze was right, he always seemed to be right. Lu Mingfei had already made his grand entrance at the academy as an S-class student, and everyone's eyes were on him. If he was truly a loser on that high stage, he would be shattered to pieces.

"So I'm glad to see you don't want to be a waste." Lu Mingze smiled, his smile shining like gold in the sunset light, but it made Lu Mingfei shudder. "You will definitely make an exchange with me in the end, because you have no way out."

"You crow mouth—"

Lu Mingfei, in a fit of rage, stood up from the windowsill. But he couldn't keep his balance, and after a slight stumble, he fell straight toward the sea. The terrifying feeling of weightlessness instantly engulfed him, just like when the elevator crashed.

In front of the window surrounded by rugged reefs, Lu Mingze waved goodbye to him with an expressionless face.

"I'll wait for you." His lips opened and closed, saying silently.

Suddenly, several images flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind, as if a thousand years had passed. He crossed the dark sea, panting frantically like a drowning man rescued from the shore, cold beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

In front of Lu Mingfei, Nuonuo seemed startled by his sudden outburst. She leaned back, holding the test paper, and observed Lu Mingfei warily. "Are you grumpy when you wake up?" she asked.

"……should not."

Returning to reality didn't dispel the chill that lingered behind Lu Mingfei. He took a deep breath, raised his hand from the test paper, and tremblingly wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Is the exam over?"

"That's right, you're the only one who hasn't submitted your S-rank paper yet."

Nuonuo gathered the papers from Lu Mingfei's desk and bound them together into a book. Inside were several pencil sketches that made Lu Mingfei wonder if he'd secretly learned to paint. Lu Mingze hadn't lied to him; he'd actually finished the test during his dream.

This also seems to indicate that the moment Lu Mingze predicted, when he would agree to the exchange, will surely come.

Lu Mingfei's face was pale. He stood up shakily and walked out of the examination room.

"Be good, don't die next to me."

In the cafeteria, Finkel saw Lu Mingfei, who looked dead, sitting down in the seat next to him, and said with some horror.

"I can't die now." Lu Mingfei sighed, "But I feel like I'm on a dead end."

"Why, did you fail the exam?"

Nero also came over and sat next to Lu Mingfei. Kassel Academy only had a few hundred students, and the four long tables were connected, each occupied by a different grade. Nero and Lu Mingfei were both freshmen this year, so they had no choice but to sit here.

"No, it should have passed. But I doubt whether I can still awaken the spirit of words." Lu Mingfei continued with a sigh.

"No way, I've never seen a half-blood without a Word Spirit." Finger glanced at him, "No, it seems there really is one."

"Who?" Lu Mingfei turned his head.

"This is personal information, I can't leak it." Finkel refused sternly.

"It's Chen Motong, right?" Nero calmly exposed Finkel's mystery. "She herself isn't shy about it."

"Shh! Shh!" Finkel raised his finger quickly. "It's her business if she doesn't shy away from it, but as an A-rank without a Word Spirit, if this gets out, it will have a very bad impact!"

Seeing that Finger was so cautious, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but lower his voice: "What do you mean by bad influence? Will others laugh at us?"

"No, they will be suspected of having unstable bloodlines." Finkel said seriously, "As you know, hybrids with unstable bloodlines can easily degenerate into deadpools and become enemies of humanity. Therefore, hybrids judged to have unstable bloodlines will be isolated, and some will even be forced to undergo harmlessness surgery."

This made Lu Mingfei suddenly feel uneasy: As an S-class, he was at a higher level. Wouldn't his bloodline be more unstable without a Word Spirit? Could this be the reason why he saw a "second personality"?

"Surgery? Is it a surgery to suppress the dragon bloodline?"

Lu Mingfei asked, feeling his throat getting dry.
