Dragon Clan: Thought So Far

#619 - 584 Doomsday Party

The entire hovercraft was silent, and everyone was looking at the snowy field ahead through the glass windows.

The snow was piled up everywhere. The low pressure when the hovercraft was moving at high speed swept the fallen snow that had not yet been compacted on the ground and hit the double-glazed windows on both sides. There was no trace of human activity at all.

This place is close to the northernmost part of Siberia and faces the vast Arctic Ocean. Even American spy satellites will not scan such a place. Everything around is grayish white like the permafrost, and even the weakest heat signal appears like a bright light in the dark night.

Lu Mingfei and his team took a train from Verkhoyansk and then transferred to a hovercraft to arrive here, covering a distance of more than 600 kilometers, and even the straight-line distance was more than 350 kilometers. If they took a more primitive dog sled, it would take a full five days and five nights to get from this place to the city where all the people had been slaughtered.

Perhaps it was the silence in the hovercraft that Eva found funny, and she actually let out a bell-like laugh from the car speakers.

"Have you never been curious? Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini are both very rare and precious S-level hybrids, but why have they never left any clues in the history of Kassel College?" she said, her ethereal voice as if from another world echoing off the inner walls of the cabin.

“Like Uncle Chu, they are members of the gray list of the executive department. They are directly appointed by the school board and the principal to carry out S-level top-secret missions around the world.” Lu Mingfei sat in the bearskin chair next to Jiude Mai. Although his voice was calm, his fingers stroking the handle of the short arc knife subconsciously revealed the excitement in his heart.

In fact, Lu Mingfei's memory of Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini was already quite vague. He had never met them after returning to this time and space, and he rarely received letters from his parents mailed to the principal.

Including the fusion of the two memories, the last time I met them was ten years ago.

Ten years can change a lot of people and make people forget a lot of things. Lu Mingfei even started to doubt whether they really existed from some point on.

Sometimes after a life-and-death fight, when his heart, beating like a war drum in his chest, has not yet had time to calm down, Lu Mingfei would wonder if he is a real human being.

It doesn't seem to be difficult to implant memories that do not belong to a person in his brain by means of a hybrid. Perhaps his life began at the age of twelve, because in his memory, it was in that year that Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini left their small home, and from then on, the concept of parents was just a rhetorical term.

Maybe he is actually a freak born and raised like Monkey King. Angé went against the crowd and wanted to raise him like Truman because he still has great value and can help the secret party eliminate the resurrected Dragon Kings one after another.

"They are indeed members of the gray list, but they are not affiliated with the executive department system, nor are they controlled by the board of directors." Eva said, "When you were a freshman in college, you were only one step away from a hearing, and the hearing that was almost held also involved the issue of your parents. Almost all the members of the board of directors, including Frost, expressed doubts and distrust about the existence of Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini. Their names occupy such a dazzling position on the first few pages of the alumni directory, but they have almost never appeared in any school celebrations, and have never participated in any important missions that may affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of people."

"But they do exist. Uncle Chu has confirmed this." Lu Mingfei bit his lip lightly and looked up at the loudspeaker in the corner.

Before entering Kassel College, Chu Tianjiao and Qiao Weini came from the same school in the same place, so their relationship is so close.

Even before Chu Tianjiao entered Nibelung to face Odin, the demon sword Murasame that he used was an alchemical weapon that Qiao Weini commissioned a Japanese shrine to provide for him.

Eva was silent for a moment: "I never deny the existence of Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini. Although the information and materials about them studying at Kassel College were deleted with extremely high authority, I still remember them."

"What I want to say is, dear junior brother, your parents and the secret party do not belong to the same system. It can even be said that they are in a hostile relationship with the school board," she said.

Bunin's fingers, which were holding the vodka glass, trembled slightly.

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang looked at each other. They noticed the abnormality at the same time, but no one said anything.

"What is the Doomsday Sect? I've never heard of it." Lu Mingfei asked.

Eva said: "You have been investigating the Far North. You should know that before the Secret Party became Kassel College, it was a large organization with many subordinate institutions."

"So the Doomsday Faction is an organization similar to the Far North?"

"It's different." Eva's tone rose slightly. "They are a branch of the Secret Party. Their core idea is to be pessimistic about the war between humans and dragons. They believe that the full recovery of dragons cannot be stopped and humans will eventually face doomsday. Many years ago, when the Doomsday Faction and Kassel Academy completely split, there were quite a few hybrids who supported this view and idea. They took away nearly half of the assets and equipment of the academy. The predecessor of the Far North, the Twilight Dogma, is just a very small branch of the Secret Party. It is so weak that it is impossible to be compared with the Doomsday Faction."

The members of the Doomsday Faction believe that the power of the dragon race far exceeds that of humans, and that it is inevitable that the Dragon King will restore the ancient dragon race to its peak through a "World War". Therefore, they advocate preserving their strength and establishing secluded strongholds, rather than actively slaying dragons like Kassel Academy.

So after the destruction of Black Swan Harbor, the leaders of this faction may have chosen to build a new refuge on its original site by coincidence.

The only purpose of this refuge is to avoid the disaster when the old world and the new world are replaced.

"The Academy has been searching for traces of the Doomsday Faction, because they have a lot of technology and wealth that split from the Secret Party, and they can even make the precious Philosopher's Stone independently." Eva yawned, "After killing Herzog, Professor Schneider sent an execution team to search for the remains of Black Swan Port, but they did not find the existence of the safe haven. This is because the newly built port does not actually exist in the real world, but in another time and space."

"Nibelungen." Lu Mingfei said softly.

No one in this world knows better than him about this illusory space constructed by pure-blooded dragons based on the material world.

Their guess turned out to be correct. There was indeed something hidden at the original site of Black Swan Harbor in a space that did not exist in reality.

Lu Mingfei looked at Chrissie. The girl was sitting obediently on the bench with her slender wrists resting on her knees.

When she is quiet, she always seems to be thinking about something, and sometimes the shadow of Eri appears on Chrissie.

So Qilan asked her to wait for Lu Mingfei and the others in the hovercraft near Verkhoyansk because he had already anticipated this?

As Xia Mi said, Chrisga's crown position is equivalent to Samson, so her bloodline is at least of the second-generation level. Pure-blooded dragons of this level should have the ability to open most of the Nibelungs in the world.

"So our destination is the Nibelungen area? Senior, do you have any suggestions?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Do as you wish. Destiny has been disrupted. You are the anchor of this world." Eva seemed to lower her voice. "Everything you do will be proven to be correct."

Like a proverb.

At this time, the hovercraft had already sailed into the dry valley like an arrow. This steel behemoth left over from the Soviet era was now roaring forward under the control of Eva.

The riverbed was covered with pebbles of all sizes. The water, which was so shallow that it could barely cover the axles of the vehicles, had already frozen hard, like granite dug out from the ground.

The air mattress suddenly shook violently, roaring forward like a wild beast, and the scattered snowflakes on the ice surface were blown up to a height of two meters.

Everyone became extremely nervous because just a few seconds ago the hovercraft had reached the end of the snowfield, and the river valley was actually a cliff that sunk at least tens of meters underground.

The red dot on the display, representing the hovercraft, was moving along the green-colored line among the winding lines marked.

They couldn't see clearly before they entered this invisible maze, but when they got closer they found that the route marked by Eva was actually impossible to traverse.

In addition to the river valley with a drop of dozens of meters, there are also ice ridges protruding like knife edges in front of you. At the end of the valley is also a cliff dozens of meters high, but the route points straight to the opposite bank.

Lu Mingfei originally wanted to raise his doubts, but Eva did not even give them time to react and stepped directly into the valley, as if controlling an air cushion craft to cross a certain space.

"To be honest, I thought you were going to kill us just now." Lu Mingfei said after a moment of silence.

"After crossing the terrifying border, you will find the kingdom of freedom, my fellow disciples. Don't be afraid or nervous. Do good deeds. God is waiting for you at the end of this road!"

"When did the academy's artificial intelligence become a charlatan?" Chu Zihang suddenly spoke coldly.

He didn't know what happened to Eva, and he was completely unaware of Finkel's actions in Japan over the years.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"There's nothing wrong with being a charlatan when the world ends. At least you know whether you will go to heaven or be taken away by the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons." Eva said.

"We just passed through a snowy plain with clear weather, but across this river valley there is an endless snowstorm... The wind direction of the storm ahead is constantly changing. In fact, it is because it was originally a huge whirlwind. The whirlwind is its interface, and the center of the whirlwind is your destination."

Chu Zihang understood what was said. He had also been to Nibelungen, and that elevated road still appeared in his dreams today.

In addition, there was a huge storm that pierced out from the clouds like the horns of a devil. In the center of the storm, lightning flashed one after another across hundreds of miles, tearing through the darkness.

The eye of the storm...

It's Odin.

"Only those with the mark on their bodies can enter Nibelungen, because the border of Nibelungen is essentially to prevent outsiders from entering the dragon's cemetery or treasure room." Eva said, "Among all the people present, Mr. Alexander Bunin should be the only one who can't understand what I said, but it doesn't matter. You just need to remember that you have to close your eyes and leave everything to your intuition for the rest of the journey."

"Does that mean the Nibelungen is a ghost wall?" Susie suddenly asked.

"The angle is very unique, but it's a bit similar." Eva praised the schoolmate, "The more important reason is that there are a few people on this hovercraft who have the mark of the Nibelungen."

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang fell silent.

Bunin raised his eyelids and shuddered slightly.

Eva talked freely, "Anyway, what you see is an illusion. I can..."

Lu Mingfei suddenly stood up, and Chu Zihang also leaned down, holding the hilt of the knife, like an angry beast.

The vibrations of the hovercraft were more obvious than before. They finally left the river valley area and hit a cliff several tens of meters high.

But the cliff in front of them was like a piece of green smoke. The hovercraft immediately disintegrated when it hit it, and what appeared in front of them was an endless blizzard.

In the depths of the blizzard, groups of dark shadows stood up one after another from the mountains, like heavy rain falling from the sky, splashing countless water splashes.

Those dark shadows were wearing exactly the same black clothes, had exactly the same pale faces, and their empty pupils were flashing with golden light.

"Bingo, I don't need to tell you that we have already broken into the Nibelungen's defense system." Eva's voice suddenly became louder. "Don't worry, it's just a ghost."

"Deadpool?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"The Doomsday Faction was also a part of the Camarilla before it split. Logically, they wouldn't keep something like Deadpool."

"That is..."

“But who knows what they have done over the years under the leadership of Secretary-General Lu?” Eva said softly, “Come on, Junior Brother, save us from this world on the verge of collapse…”

Lu Mingfei's pupils contracted slightly.

"Look ahead!" Bunin suddenly shouted, and everyone, including Chrisga, stood up and ran to the cockpit to look ahead.

The dark shadows became sparser and more unreal the deeper they went into the blizzard, but in the very center of the storm stood a Soviet-style building complex with red brick and stone exterior walls.

The complex seemed to be arranged according to a certain matrix, built around a towering copper column in the center.

A huge skeleton was nailed to the bronze pillar.

A black keel with wings spread.
