After closing the sword case again, Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief. Although the process was smooth and the imagined resistance did not happen, the communication with the dragon soul in the weapon still made him feel tired. His eyelids kept twitching as if he would fall asleep in the next second.

"Brother Chu, I'll take a rest first. Call me when we get there."

After saying this, Lu Mingfei’s eyelids could no longer hold up, so he closed them and fell into a deep sleep leaning against the sofa.

Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei who fell asleep as soon as he was told to, and felt a little amused. However, he felt relieved when he thought of the roaring dragon in his mind. It must be very exhausting to communicate with such a monster.

After thinking about it, Chu Zihang gently stood up, put the Murasame in his hand on the sofa, tiptoed to the storage room, took out a blanket and covered Lu Mingfei with it. The distance from Chicago to their destination was more than 10,000 kilometers, and it also passed through the Arctic. Although there was a constant temperature system in the plane, it was better to cover it just in case. Anyway, the air conditioning was relatively cool, so he would not feel hot with a blanket on.

After doing all this, Chu Zihang sat back on the sofa, hugged Murasame, his eyes fell on the sword case on the dining table, wondering what he was thinking.

"Hmm~"

Lu Mingfei stretched and slowly opened his eyes, feeling refreshed. His spirit, which had been a little sluggish due to excessive consumption yesterday, has returned to normal. Lu Mingfei was stunned when he looked at the blanket on his body, and then he thought that it must be Chu Zihang who covered him, and his heart warmed. Senior Brother Chu really has such a cold-faced but warm-hearted personality!

"But what about Senior Brother Chu?"

Lu Mingfei glanced across the empty plane, but did not see the familiar figure, and couldn't help feeling confused.

"You woke up. The operation was successful. You are now a girl."

A cold voice came from outside the cabin door, with a rare hint of warmth in the tone. Then the cabin door opened and Chu Zihang, dressed in long sleeves and long pants, walked in, bringing a gust of cool air with him. Lu Mingfei shivered involuntarily and woke up instantly.

It was the golden autumn of October, and when other places were scorching hot, the temperature in Beijing had dropped below 20 degrees Celsius, and even coats were needed to keep out the cold. Although the temperature in Chicago was lower than here, due to the special feature of Kassel Academy, the climate was warm like spring almost all year round, and one could not feel the cold at all. So Lu Mingfei did not prepare long-sleeved clothes, and still wore his washed-out short-sleeved jacket. In addition, the temperature on the plane was constant, so he forgot about it. Although this temperature was nothing for a mixed-blood, walking on the street in short sleeves in this season might still make people think he was a fool. What's more, there was a group of enthusiastic aunties here. What if one of the aunties disliked him and reported him? Although he was not afraid, it would still be trouble, right?

"for you."

As if seeing Lu Mingfei's embarrassment, Chu Zihang threw a plastic bag on the sofa next to Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei opened it and saw that there was indeed a set of trousers and a jacket inside. Judging from the tag that had not been cut off, it must have been bought recently.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Chu!"

Lu Mingfei took out the clothes and saw that the size was exactly what he wore. He couldn't help but secretly admire Chu Zihang's attentiveness.

"Hurry up and change. The academy's plane is about to leave. We need to get to the mission location as soon as possible."

Chu Zihang calmly stated the next arrangements, but did not mention at all that he had applied to the academy to delay the flight navigation because Lu Mingfei was sleeping.

"Ok!"

Lu Mingfei agreed, and a flame appeared in his hand. He burned the tag and quickly put it on. He was wearing a sports outfit that was slim and warm. It was obvious that Chu Zihang had chosen it carefully.

"I don't know which chick will get such an outstanding man in the future."

Lu Mingfei thought to himself as he packed his things.

"This time we are going to Gongzhufen. According to the information Norma sent us, there seems to be some supernatural events there. Someone saw a white figure there in the middle of the night, and also heard faint crying sounds. The academy suspected that it was a hybrid, so they sent us here to observe."

Walking on the wide asphalt road in Beijing, Chu Zihang explained the specific content of the mission to Lu Mingfei who was sitting in the passenger seat while driving.

"Isn't this haunted?"

Lu Mingfei made casual comments while observing this great capital city that he had never been to but had only seen on TV.

Lu Mingfei never thought that this mission was to investigate supernatural events. Aren't these things usually close to science? How did it happen to him?

"You can say that, but the authorities have already investigated and found no clues, so they contacted the college to send someone to investigate."

Chu Zihang curled his lips, and did not comment on Lu Mingfei's statement. He had been in a good mood since he came back from the United States. No matter how respected he was abroad, it was not his home after all. Only after returning home could he feel that special sense of belonging.

"I never thought that as a staunch materialist fighter, I would fall to the level of believing in these monsters and demons."

Lu Mingfei showed a smile on his face, and it was unclear whether it was a teasing or a mockery.

"This is not a ghost or monster, this is something that exists objectively. Since ancient times, all mysterious events have basically been caused by hybrids or dragons. The existence of our Kassel Academy is to eliminate these behind-the-scenes culprits."

Chu Zihang explained calmly that he could relate to Lu Mingfei's complaints, he had also been through this period before and his experience was even worse. Lu Mingfei at least had a gradual process, but he was suddenly pulled into this strange world, if it weren't for the hatred that supported him, he might have collapsed long ago.

"arrive."

Chu Zihang drove very steadily, and it was obvious that he was an experienced driver. He arrived at Gongzhufen without any danger along the way, where someone was already waiting.

"Hello, teachers. You must be the top students from Kassel College. Welcome to China!"

As soon as the two got off the car, a group of people in suits surrounded them. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties. Looking at the sparse hair on his head, you could tell that he was definitely a strong man.

Listening to the fluent English, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang looked at each other, and a bitter smile flashed in each other's eyes. Who could understand the feeling of being treated as an outsider when returning home?

"Hello, you're welcome. We are both Chinese, so just speak Chinese."

Lu Mingfei took the hand extended by the middle-aged man who was obviously his leader, shook it, and then explained with a smile.

"Ah? Chinese!"

The middle-aged leader seemed a little surprised. Didn't the higher-ups say that all the people here are top students from such-and-such universities in the United States? How did it become a matter of exporting them to domestic sales?

"Yes, we are just studying in the United States. If you don't believe me, I will take out my ID card and show it to you."

As he spoke, Lu Mingfei loosened his grip on the leader's hand and pretended to take out his ID card, but of course, his movements were very slow.

"Oh! No, no, we don't mean anything else. We are just a little surprised to see two young talents. You two are so young and yet you are able to represent the school to come out for exchanges. You are really young and promising!"

The middle-aged leader quickly grabbed Lu Mingfei's hand, with an expression that said we are all family, so don't be polite. In just a few words, he completely resolved the awkward atmosphere.

"Thank you for the compliment, we just learned a little in school, and it just happened to be related to our major, and the school gave us the opportunity to practice. It's nothing, you are our role model. I hope I can learn more from you during this period of time, and I hope you can give me some advice!"

The fancy sedan was carried by many people, and Lu Mingfei was quite knowledgeable about interpersonal relationships. Although he felt a little disgusted, he still flattered her. After all, one should not hit a smiling person.

Chu Zihang, who had been standing behind Lu Mingfei, looked at Lu Mingfei talking to the bald middle-aged man, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. He remembered that Lu Mingfei's family was not in business or politics, right? Why was he so skilled in flattery? Could this be the innate progress of the holy body?

"Okay, Mr. Huang, I won't say any more polite words. We will have a chance to slowly understand. The most urgent task now is to investigate the truth of the matter."

Lu Mingfei felt that his face was stiff from smiling, but the bald middle-aged man opposite him was still chatting and laughing with him without changing his expression. Sometimes, one has to admit that people who can become leaders must have something in them.
