Transmigrating into a dragon clan experimental subject, is that even possible?

Tian stepped forward, aiming his rune gun at the black-robed man's forehead: "One last question. What else in your laboratory are we unaware of?"

The man in black chuckled, his tone laced with madness: "You will eventually understand that the Camarilla's goal is not destruction, but resurgence. True power has awakened, and you are merely struggling mortals."

After he finished speaking, his body suddenly exploded, turning into countless runic lights that dissipated with the wind. The runes on the ground quickly dimmed, and the entire laboratory fell into a deathly silence.

"Self-destruct?" Caesar frowned. "This guy was definitely prepared."

Tian quickly scanned the surroundings with his rune gun and then said, "There are no residual energy fluctuations here, but this is just the outer perimeter. The Camarilla's true target is likely hidden much deeper."

Chu Zihang sheathed the Dragon Cutter, his gaze turning cold: "Continue to delve deeper. The Secret Society's operations are not over; we cannot stop."

The three walked deeper into the laboratory. The shadows around them grew heavier, and an eerie atmosphere filled the air, as if every step was leading them into an unknown abyss.

Meanwhile, at Kassel College, Lu Mingfei had reached the basement of the laboratory building. His dagger glowed faintly, illuminating the narrow passageway. His heart pounded, and every step made him uneasy.

"Norma, continue monitoring the signal fluctuations," Lu Mingfei said in a low voice, trying to keep his voice calm.

“Understood.” Norma’s voice came through the headset. “High concentration of runic energy fluctuations detected fifty meters ahead of the target area.”

Lu Mingfei swallowed hard, gripped his short knife tightly, and continued forward. He knew that what lay ahead was something far more dangerous than any battle. The shadow of the Camarilla had infiltrated the academy, and this time, perhaps no one could come to his rescue.

But he did not back down. He gritted his teeth and stepped into the unknown darkness, with only one thought in his mind—to protect the academy and hold the last line of defense.

The basement of the laboratory building grew ever deeper, and Lu Mingfei's footsteps echoed in the narrow passageways, as if he were playing the prelude to a battle alone in this silent darkness. His short sword trembled slightly, the light of the blue runes seeming to be its only guide.

"Norma, I'm almost there," Lu Mingfei said in a low voice, his voice filled with suppressed tension. "What's the exact location of the energy fluctuation?"

"Twenty meters ahead, room on the left," Norma calmly replied, then added, "Life signs detected in the room, one in number, but the energy fluctuations are extremely unstable, which may pose a threat."

Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat. He took a deep breath, trying to stop his hands from trembling: "Life signs... hopefully it's not that crazy man in black."

He walked to the door, gripping his short sword tightly, the runes gradually glowing. He gently pushed the door open, the heavy iron door letting out a low groan before slowly opening.

The room was filled with crimson runic light, and the air was thick with a suffocating sense of oppression. At the center was a runic array, surrounded by Camarilla equipment and instruments. And at the very center of the array, a figure knelt.

It was a girl in an academy uniform, her body trembling slightly, with scarlet runes swirling around her as if devouring her life force.

"What the hell?" Lu Mingfei cursed under his breath, taking a sudden step back.

The girl slowly raised her head, her gaze vacant, a bloodshot light flowing in her eyes. Her voice was low and hoarse, yet carried an eerie familiarity: "Lu Mingfei... you've come."

Lu Mingfei froze, staring intently at her face, his mind racing: "You...who are you? How do you know my name?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of the girl's lips, and the runic light around her grew even stronger: "I am the key to the Camarilla, and also the other half of your destiny. Lu Mingfei, we are all waiting for you to awaken."

Lu Mingfei took a step back, his short sword trembling slightly, his voice tinged with unease: "Awakening? I don't understand what you're talking about!"

The girl stood up, her movements stiff and slow, the light of the runic array seemingly flowing through her body and spreading to the surroundings. Her voice was low and seductive: "You are a variable in this game. The Camarilla's plan needs you, but your power does not belong here. Lu Mingfei, you must choose—join us, or be destroyed."

"Join you?" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened, he gripped his short knife tightly, and gritted his teeth as he said, "What the hell is the Secret Society? Don't try to scare me with this nonsense!"

The girl sneered, and a blood-red light suddenly burst forth in her eyes. With a flick of her finger, the entire rune array began to vibrate, and the energy fluctuations in the air became extremely violent.

"You refused the chance to awaken, so you can only become a sacrifice." The girl's voice was icy cold as she conjured a scarlet rune dagger in her hand, pointing it directly at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei's heart pounded like a drum. As the girl approached step by step, cold sweat beaded on his palms. He took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on her, the runes on his short sword growing brighter and brighter.

"You want me to be a sacrifice?" he growled through gritted teeth, charging forward with his short sword flashing a blue arc as it clashed head-on with the girl's dagger.

The two runic powers collided, producing a piercing roar. The intense energy shockwave forced Lu Mingfei back several steps, his arm tingling and numb. The girl, however, showed no sign of retreating, swinging her dagger again with even greater killing intent.

"Don't think I'm afraid of you!" Lu Mingfei roared, his short sword meeting the attack. The blade clashed with the dagger again, flashing a blinding light. He gritted his teeth, struggling to maintain his footing, while inwardly cursing, "That damned Chu Zihang, why is he never here at the crucial moment!"

The girl's attacks grew increasingly fierce, her runic daggers flashing crimson blades, almost forcing Lu Mingfei into a corner. His gaze, however, gradually calmed, and the short sword in his hand seemed to become one with him, blue light surging on its blade, as if guiding him to find the rhythm of the battle.

“Lu Mingfei, you are destined to be unable to resist fate,” the girl said coldly, her rune dagger aimed straight at his chest.

Lu Mingfei's gaze sharpened, and he swung his short knife fiercely. The blue light carried a powerful impact, forcing the girl back. He panted heavily and said in a low voice, "I've never believed in fate. You secret society can do whatever you want, but I will never follow your arrangements!"

A flicker of surprise crossed the girl's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness. She raised the dagger, and the light from the runic array began to flash violently, as if the entire room was distorting at that moment.

Lu Mingfei gripped his short knife tightly, his eyes filled with stubbornness. He knew that this battle was not only about the safety of the academy, but also about whether he himself could escape this invisible game.

The dagger in the girl's hand suddenly erupted with a strong scarlet light, and the runic array beneath her feet spun faster and faster, causing the energy in the air to become violent, as if the entire space was distorting. Lu Mingfei's eyes darkened, and the short sword in his hand emitted a dazzling blue light. He could feel the struggle between the short sword and the runic array, like two completely different forces vying for dominance.

“Lu Mingfei, you have no idea who you are.” The girl said in a low voice, her voice carrying a hint of pity, yet also an undisguised killing intent. “Your existence is part of the plan. You can choose to fight, but the final outcome will not change.”

"Shut up!" Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth and growled, his short knife flashing out, blue runes slicing through the air, aimed directly at the girl's chest. However, her figure vanished in that instant, the dagger trailing a scarlet trajectory as it attacked from his flank.

Lu Mingfei reacted quickly, his foot slipping sharply to narrowly avoid the attack. At the same time, he thrust his short knife back, forcing the girl to take a few steps back. He was panting heavily, his eyes fixed on her: "I don't care about the Camarilla's plans, nor do I care about your so-called fate. I only know that as long as I live, I will not let you succeed!"

A complex emotion flashed in the girl's eyes, but it was quickly masked by a cold light. She raised her dagger, and the light of the runic array intensified once more. Cracks began to appear in the ground, and crimson energy surged like a tide.

"Your power is no match for the entire formation." The girl's voice seemed to come from the abyss. "The rune array is gathering the will of the dragons. Once I complete the ritual, everything here will be destroyed, including you."

Lu Mingfei's heart tightened suddenly. He could feel the abnormal fluctuations in the surrounding energy, a power far beyond his comprehension. If the ritual were allowed to continue, the consequences would be unimaginable.
