Transmigrating into a dragon clan experimental subject, is that even possible?
Chapter 5 Exploration
“Continue to contact him and gather more intelligence about him.” Chu Zihang’s voice was firm and calm. “The academy will send other teams to monitor him, but we can’t alert him. If he discovers our intentions, things could become more complicated.”
Lu Mingfei remained silent for a moment, his heart filled with conflict. Although his brief exchange with Tian was cold, he sensed that Tian was not a simple enemy. Despite his indifference and danger, the loneliness and suppressed pain in Tian's eyes made him vaguely feel that there was more to the story.
“Okay, I will do my best,” Lu Mingfei finally said, his heart filled with unease.
A few days later, outside Kassel College
Following the clues provided by Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei secretly followed Tian. He found Tian in a secluded corner on the outskirts of the academy. It was an abandoned clock tower, a dilapidated building covered in vines and weeds, as if it had been forgotten by the world.
Tian stood alone on the edge of the clock tower, gazing into the distance. His expression remained aloof, his silver hair fluttering gently in the breeze, and a faint loneliness flickering in his eyes.
Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, then slowly approached, trying not to make too much noise. But just as he was about to speak, Tian suddenly said coldly, "Is it fun to follow me?"
Lu Mingfei froze, his heart skipping a beat. How had he discovered him so quickly?
“Uh, I…I wasn’t stalking you,” Lu Mingfei stammered, trying to ease the tension. “I just…have a question to ask.”
Tian's gaze remained indifferent, but he did not question him further. Instead, he turned around and quietly looked at Lu Mingfei, as if waiting for his next words.
"You...you really have a connection with the Dragon Clan?" Lu Mingfei asked, forcing himself to speak, even though he knew Tian didn't like discussing these things.
Tian remained silent for a moment, then slightly raised his head to look into the distance, his gaze deep and unfathomable. "I have an inescapable connection with the Dragon Clan. This connection... is part of destiny."
"Destiny?" Lu Mingfei frowned. "Then why did you slay the dragon?"
Tian's gaze suddenly turned even colder, and his voice carried a hint of almost imperceptible bitterness. "Slaying dragons is not a choice, but... a responsibility."
Lu Mingfei felt a heavy sense of oppression coming from Tian, as if some invisible force was constantly chasing him. This young man seemed to be enduring more pain and pressure than ordinary people.
“But…” Lu Mingfei tried to approach, “If you’re not willing to bear these burdens, why not resist? Why take it all on alone?”
Tian's gaze sharpened, as if he were seeing a distant memory through Lu Mingfei. "Some things you can't escape just because you want to," he said in a low voice, his voice filled with unwavering determination. "And you'd better not go any further."
Lu Mingfei felt he had touched a forbidden zone, and the chill in the air seemed to deepen with Tian's words. He didn't know what kind of past Tian carried, but he knew that this problem could not be solved simply by "resistance."
“You don’t know what loss is.” Tian turned around, left those words behind, and disappeared into the shadows of the clock tower, leaving Lu Mingfei standing there alone, his heart churning with endless questions.
On his way back to the academy, Lu Mingfei couldn't suppress the doubts and unease in his heart. Tian's words were like an unsolvable mystery, carrying a deep sense of destiny and unspeakable pain. Lu Mingfei vaguely sensed that this young man was walking on a lonely and dangerous path.
"Perhaps I should try to understand him again," Lu Mingfei murmured to himself, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
Kassel College remains tranquil at night, with the silvery moonlight casting a mysterious and serene glow on its ancient buildings.
As Lu Mingfei walked up the stone steps of the academy, a storm raged within him. He couldn't erase Tian's words from his mind—"Some things, you can't escape just because you want to."
These words carried an undeniable sense of fate and helplessness, causing a dull ache in Lu Mingfei's heart. He knew that Tian's past held untold secrets, and that he might be gradually walking towards the edge of those secrets.
A few days later, at the training ground of Kassel College
During the academy's daily training, Lu Mingfei still couldn't concentrate. The battle to slay the dragon and the few words Tian had uttered kept replaying in his mind.
"You haven't been acting right these past few days." Chu Zihang suddenly appeared beside him, his tone tinged with concern. "Has Tian's incident affected you a lot?"
Lu Mingfei nodded and sighed, "Yes, I always feel that his understanding of dragons is completely different from ours... He seems to be doing more than just slaying dragons, but for some deeper purpose."
Chu Zihang was silent for a moment, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "The academy is also researching Tian's background, but we haven't found much information. There are only indications that his power doesn't come from simple training or technology; his connection with the dragon race is far more complex than we imagined."
Lu Mingfei frowned, sensing that things were far more complex than he had anticipated. "So, is he... an enemy, or a friend?"
Chu Zihang looked up into the distance, his tone steady yet tinged with a hint of unresolved doubt, "We cannot be certain yet. But in any case, the academy must remain vigilant. The appearance of the Heavenly One means that the power of the Dragon Clan has, to some extent, infiltrated the human world."
Lu Mingfei's mood grew increasingly heavy. He had initially thought he was just an ordinary student drawn into a world of dragon slaying, but now he gradually realized he was caught in a far greater conspiracy and power struggle. And fate might be the crucial turning point.
That evening, in the secret archives of Kassel College
Lu Mingfei quietly sneaked into the academy's archives. He knew that only here might he find more clues about Tian.
Dim lighting illuminated the neatly arranged filing cabinets in the archives, the air thick with the smell of old paper. Lu Mingfei carefully searched through the rows of filing cabinets and finally found a file folder marked "Confidential".
“Oh my god…” Lu Mingfei murmured as he read the words on the file folder, his heart racing. He carefully opened the folder, and the contents of the documents inside stunned him.
The file contained no detailed personal information, only a few blurry photos and some scattered reports. The figure in the photos was indistinct, but he could still make out that it was Tian—silver hair, indifferent eyes, and the twin pistols "Wings of Death" in his hands.
"He really does have connections with the Dragon Clan..." Lu Mingfei murmured to himself, his fingers lightly flipping through several pages of documents. Suddenly, he saw a line on one of the yellowed reports that made his pupils shrink:
"Dragon Clan experimental subject, codename 'Sky'."
Lu Mingfei froze, feeling as if his heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand. Countless thoughts flooded his mind in an instant, and all his questions seemed to find answers at that moment, yet it only made him more uneasy.
"Experimental subject? Tian is an experimental subject of the Dragon Clan?" Lu Mingfei murmured in disbelief.
Just then, the door to the archives was gently pushed open, and faint footsteps came from the end of the corridor. Lu Mingfei was startled and quickly stuffed the documents back into the file folder, holding his breath and hiding behind a cabinet.
The shadow at the doorway gradually became clearer, and the familiar silver hair stood out starkly in the dim light. Tian stood quietly at the door, his gaze sweeping across the room, as if he had already sensed someone was there.
Lu Mingfei's heart raced. He dared not move, cautiously hiding in the shadows. Tian stood at the door, his eyes as cold as ever; clearly, he had neither the patience nor the time to explore further.
"I know you're here." Tian's voice was indifferent and calm, as if he had already seen through everything.
Lu Mingfei stood frozen in place, his heart pounding like a drum. He didn't know how Tian had discovered him, but he knew he couldn't hide any longer.
Slowly standing up, Lu Mingfei forced himself to walk out, his heart filled with tension and unease. "How did you know I was here?" His voice trembled slightly.
Tian's gaze fell coldly on him, his eyes like merciless frost. "Your actions were too obvious."
