A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 427 Would someone cry like this after losing both parents?

The elevator continued its downward rumble, as if sinking into the depths of hell. Lu Lincheng led Lu Mingfei to the so-called final sanctuary to see the basis for Duden's judgment that Lu Mingze's spiritual body had parasitized Lu Mingfei.

As the elevator descended, Lu Mingfei looked at his father's back, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent and closed his mouth.

What could he say? That Lu Mingze always called him "brother"? That he never hurt him? Don't be ridiculous. Even the little devil Lu Mingze himself openly stated his price, charging Lu Mingfei 1/4 of his life for every transaction.

Isn't this considered harm? Even if Lu Mingfei himself doesn't think it's harm, and feels that he's risking his life to gain power, he still won't get Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini's approval. His parents will definitely think that Lu Mingze is harming Lu Mingfei.

But Lu Mingfei couldn't bear to remain silent. Although he didn't say it, he already regarded Lu Mingze as his own younger brother. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so unrestrained every time he talked to Lu Mingze.

"Don't worry, son." Lu Lincheng didn't know what Lu Mingfei was thinking. He was just a Time Worm clone that parasitized Lu Lincheng, and his status was not as high as Lu Mingfei's. The Dream Stealer's ability was not enough for him to see into Lu Mingfei's mind.

So what? Anyway, Lu Mingfei values ​​family ties, and Lu Lincheng is confident that he is invincible: "Duden's mental surgery uses knowledge from dragon alchemy, so there won't be any problems."

Just now, Lu Mingfei was quite afraid of Lu Mingze's parasitism. Coupled with his parents' concern, Duden's encouragement, and especially the presence of Natasha, who seemed to be his stepmother and was trying to take over, Lu Mingfei agreed to have the surgery without much thought.

Subconsciously, he wanted to show his masculinity to please his parents. If his parents were happy, Qiao Weini might not be angry with Lu Lincheng anymore, and they might be able to reunite this family of three that seemed to be on the verge of breaking up.

After agreeing, the lie detector interrogation ended. They walked all the way from Haven University to the basement level and took the elevator down. Only then did Lu Mingfei slowly come to his senses and begin to have second thoughts.

'Boom! '

When the elevator descended to the lowest floor, what lay outside the elevator doors was not hell, but a small, empty room.

The room contained only two doors and a table, on which were two sets of biochemical isolation protective suits. Lu Lincheng skillfully picked them up and handed them to Lu Mingfei, indicating that his son should put them on.

Lu Lincheng himself was no exception. He turned his back to Lu Mingfei and began to change his clothes. He changed very carefully, as if the place he was going to was full of plague and poison.

After Lu Mingfei changed, Lu Lincheng checked him over to ensure he was safe. He even made sure to tighten Lu Mingfei's cuffs so there wasn't a single gap. Then he led Lu Mingfei to the door and into an isolation room.

Stepping out of the isolation room, Lu Mingfei's eyes widened in shock. It was an underground space that had been hollowed out, with layers upon layers of alchemical matrices carved on the ground, so complex that Lu Mingfei couldn't understand them at all.

Furthermore, every circuit within the alchemical matrix is ​​teeming with mercury!

Lu Mingfei had seen it before. During the Battle of Red Well, the Snake Clan used a large amount of mercury to drown the dragon-blooded creatures. No wonder Lu Lincheng was so careful about protective clothing; this stuff is also highly toxic to hybrids.

Lu Lincheng affectionately put his arm around his son's shoulder and walked side by side until they reached the end of the alchemy matrix. There, they could see the mercury flowing through the many loops reaching its end and pouring down.

Below was a huge pool of mercury, surrounded by numerous loops that allowed the mercury to drain out again, creating a continuous cycle. In the center of the pool were several thick bronze chains, connected to something unknown.

Reaching this point, Lu Lincheng released his grip and waved upwards. The camera captured this action, activating the elevator. The copper chains rattled loudly, and soon a bronze platform was pulled out of the mercury pool.

“Lu Mingze… Gungnir!” Lu Mingfei couldn’t help but take a step forward, his eyes bloodshot. On the small bronze platform, many crimson-gold chains bound and hoisted Lu Mingze, whose eyes were closed.

Lu Mingze looked exactly like a sinner on a cross, with his arms stretched out to the left and right by crimson gold chains, and his legs and feet bound together by heavy crimson gold chains, forming a cross shape. A dark gold wooden spear was also stuck in his heart!

Lu Mingfei not only recognized Lu Mingze, but also Gungnir, the Odin artifact that had shone brightly on Bello Island.

Because of his long-term immersion in mercury, Lu Mingze's skin, including his hair, was an eerie gray-white. He looked more like a perfect limestone sculpture than a human.

Even in his current state of utter destitution, Lu Mingfei could still recognize the little devil at a glance. Lu Mingfei was finally seeing Lu Mingze in real life for the first time. He never imagined that Lu Mingze in reality would be so disheveled and miserable!

In that instant, for some unknown reason, Lu Mingfei was overwhelmed with grief, and tears welled up uncontrollably in his eyes: "No, no, no!!"

Even the thick protective suits couldn't block out Lu Mingfei's heart-wrenching sobs; he cried, wailed, and knelt down.

Each sob made the protective suit rustle. Lu Mingfei's forehead and the isolation helmet pressed tightly against the mercury floor. He curled up into a half-ball, his sweat and breath mingling in the limited space of the isolation helmet, completely blurring his goggles.

Even with the protective helmet and goggles obscuring his view, Lu Lincheng, standing to the side, forced a look of sympathy and concern, wanting to help his son Lu Mingfei up, but inwardly he regretted not bringing a recording pen with him.

Once we get back, we can combine the surveillance footage from the camera with the audio from the voice recorder, and we're sure to get some really interesting videos.

The Time Worm clone couldn't empathize with Lu Mingfei, and even had an interesting thought suddenly pop into its mind: it wondered if Lu Mingfei would have cried like this when his parents died.

Seeing that he couldn't help him up, Lu Lincheng could only try to act like a good father taking care of his child, so he just bent over halfway and kept a half-hearted stance, quietly waiting for Lu Mingfei to finish crying.

The boy didn't know how long he had been crying. Gradually, he came to his senses and instinctively wanted to run into his father's arms and cry in his father's embrace.

It wasn't until this moment that Lu Mingfei noticed his father's movements. How numb and tired must his back be from maintaining such an awkward position for so long? Lu Mingfei quickly got up and saw that Lu Lincheng's right hand was bent behind his back and he couldn't reach his lower back because of the weight of the protective suit, so he took the initiative to help massage his back.

At the same time, I was deeply moved that Lu Lincheng took such good care of him, which slightly lessened the sorrow brought by Lu Mingze's tragic situation.

Lu Lincheng didn't say much, letting Lu Mingfei rub his waist for a few minutes until he recovered. Then he led his men away and returned to the small room to change back into his clothes. Lu Lincheng paid special attention to details, telling Lu Mingfei to be careful not to get any mercury on the outside of his protective suit.

Lu Mingfei also cared about his elderly father, so this time he helped Lu Lincheng, who suffered from severe lumbar muscle strain, back into the elevator.

As they slowly ascended, Lu Mingfei finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Dad, what, what exactly is this...?"

His voice was extremely hoarse, and his throat hurt after saying just a few words. Lu Mingfei seemed to have forgotten that his Word of Power, "Don't Die," which had been modified by Fingel, could locally heal his throat. He just stared intently at Lu Lincheng.

Lu Lincheng sighed: "Do you know about Black Swan Port?"

Why is it Black Swan Harbor again? Wait, Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that on the night Lu Mingze gave him the cheat code in the Kassel dormitory, Lu Mingfei had asked Lu Mingze this question. After hearing the clapper sound, he had indeed seen Black Swan Harbor and Renata: "I know."

"That's good." Lu Lincheng was relieved that he didn't have to start from the beginning: "Twenty years ago, someone sold intelligence to the Secret Party through secret channels, saying that a little boy had escaped from Black Swan Harbor with a little girl of the same age."

"!" Lu Mingfei's pupils dilated in shock. A boy and a girl? It was Lu Mingze and Renata?!
"Looks like you guessed it." Lu Lincheng pretended not to know what Renata looked like: "That little boy is the devil, the Lu Mingze you mentioned."

"He was terrifying. The Secret Party paid a huge price to capture him. The four elder families, the families of the board of directors, and Kassel College sent a mixed team of hundreds of S-class and A-class elite hybrids, but they were all slaughtered by him, a mere child."

"In the end, the Secret Society used its trump card: a holder of the Word of Power Rhine, an ultimate Word of Power that can only be activated once in a lifetime. Even so, they couldn't kill him. He even had the strength to protect the little girl and me."

"?" Lu Mingfei looked up in disbelief. Lu Mingze had protected his father, Lu Lincheng?
Lu Lincheng shook his head: "Don't misunderstand. I was the last member of the mixed elite force at the time, and I happened to be behind Lu Mingze. He held off most of the Word Spirit Rhine, and I took the opportunity to crawl behind him and survived."

"But I also fell into a coma due to the aftershocks of the Rhine. When I woke up, I couldn't find the little girl. In the scorched earth, there was only the unconscious Lu Mingze. He resisted the Word of Power Rhine and did not die, but was in a deep coma. What incredible vitality."

"Later, I contacted the Secret Party, and they decided to use another trump card, airdropping the artifact Gungnir. Incredibly, even the legendary artifact that is said to be a sure-kill weapon could not kill Lu Mingze, and could only temporarily seal him away."

“Son, I’m sorry. I strongly suspect that Lu Mingze, who was unconscious at the time, had actually lost his mind. His mind then parasitized his father, and I was the intermediary before finally parasitizing your mind.”

"You can probably guess what will happen next."

Is there even a need to guess? Lu Mingfei could figure it out with his toes. His father, Lu Lincheng, used Gungnir to pierce Lu Mingze's heart and seal him away. Then the Doomsday Squad left, taking Lu Mingze with them.

Lu Mingze used Lu Lincheng as a transit point and eventually became a parasite on Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei didn't take it to heart, since it wasn't like Lu Lincheng intentionally wanted to harm him, and Lu Mingfei wouldn't get angry about it.

Wait a minute, the Secret Service airdropped Gungnir to Daddy? That doesn't make sense, does it? Are there two Gungnirs in the world?

"Dad," Lu Mingfei voiced his doubts, "Do you know about Belllo Island? Never mind, let's not worry about that for now, I'll tell you the details when we get back."

"The main issue is that I just saw Odin using Gungnir, a divine weapon that always hits, on an island. Why, why is there another one in the final sanctuary of the haven?"

"?" Lu Lincheng continued to feign ignorance: "Odin? Isn't that the holder of Gungnir in mythology?"

"But that's not right. There's only one Gungnir. It was collected by the Secret Service centuries ago as their absolute trump card. There can't possibly be a second one."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei immediately recalled that the little devil Lu Mingze had once conjured two legendary swords, Ame no Habakiri and Futsu no Mitama, with a wave of his hand. Could it be that Odin also possessed such abilities? Was he using not Gungnir's physical form, but a conceptual weapon?

No wonder, no wonder everyone in the mixed-race circle says that the Secret Party has a deep foundation and extremely strong combat power, but they haven't seen much of it in either the Battle of Bello Island or the Battle of Red Well. They mostly send students to the battlefield.

The two trump cards, Rhine and Gungnir, along with hundreds of elite troops, have all been used to deal with Lu Mingze. The Secret Party had already spent all its wealth twenty years ago just to deal with Lu Mingze, almost exhausting all its trump cards.

Even after paying such a high price to finally capture Lu Mingze, Lu Lincheng still led a large number of talents to betray the Secret Party and run to the Arctic to create a safe haven, reserving the last spark for humanity.

No matter how large and powerful the Secret Party is, it cannot withstand the huge losses one after another. The repeated deficits have led to the current severe decline of the Secret Party. Lu Mingfei even feels sorry for the Secret Party.

Lu Lincheng watched Lu Mingfei, not disturbing his 'precious son's' thoughts. In any case, he wouldn't tell Lu Mingfei that it was all Odin's conspiracy.

The Secret Society was practically used as Odin's henchmen. They would do everything in their power to help Odin achieve his desired goals, even if it was just a little bit of intelligence.

Sometimes, the Secret Society would even spend a lot of money to buy intelligence specifically provided by Odin. The Secret Society was practically offering its heart to Odin.
