Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

The red Maserati sped along the overpass, but the downpour showed no signs of stopping; instead, it intensified, with large raindrops pounding against the car with a loud crackling sound.

Dense rain and fog veiled the car windows, obscuring visibility even with the high beams on. However, this was no obstacle for Nono, a mixed-race individual with exceptional reflexes. She gripped the steering wheel firmly, the car weaving nimbly through the rain like a fish.

"Elevated Highway No. 0? I've never heard of it before. That name sounds kind of creepy." Su Xiaoqiang, sitting in the back, also saw the sign on the elevated highway and asked with a frown.

Lu Mingfei didn't answer directly. Instead, he turned to look at her and asked a seemingly unrelated question: "Have you ever heard of 'disappearance'?"

"Shinpeki? I think that's a Japanese term, referring to the mysterious phenomenon of people disappearing without a trace?" Su Xiaoqiang tilted her head and answered somewhat uncertainly.

Lu Mingfei immediately put on a sad expression and said in a heavy tone, "Actually, we have been vanished from the world and can never return to the real world."

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old? You think you can fool me with this kind of nonsense?" Su Xiaoqiang rolled her eyes, slapped Lu Mingfei's shoulder hard, and frowned worriedly, "By the way, the entrance to this road was clearly blocked by roadblocks just now. Aren't you afraid that something might happen up there? What if there's a car accident?"

"Don't worry, with Nuonuo's driving skills, I guarantee I'll get you home safely," Lu Mingfei said casually.

"Not bad, junior brother! You finally praised your senior sister! You've improved! Keep it up!" Nuonuo, sitting in the driver's seat, immediately smiled with satisfaction, and even her hand on the steering wheel swayed unconsciously.

"Didn't I often praise you back at the hotel? Have you forgotten?" Lu Mingfei asked rhetorically.

"Huh? What did you praise me for?" Nuonuo frowned and thought hard for a long time, making sure that she had no memory of being praised by Lu Mingfei, before asking with a puzzled look.

"Didn't I praise you before, saying you're like a vise?" Lu Mingfei said seriously.

"You call this a compliment? Comparing a beautiful senior sister to industrial tools, I'm already being lenient by not holding you accountable, and you still dare to call this a compliment? Do you want to have a bad time from now on?" Nuonuo suddenly turned her head and glared fiercely at Lu Mingfei.

Their nonsensical conversation left Su Xiaoqiang, sitting in the back row, completely bewildered. Being straightforward by nature, she stopped guessing and asked directly, "What are you two talking about? What vise? And what hotel?" As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly realize some earth-shattering secret; her eyes widened instantly, staring intently at the two in front of her, and she raised her voice, "You two haven't been living together lately, have you?!"

"More or less. After leaving my aunt's house, I had nowhere to go for a while, and I just happened to receive a notification from Kassel College, so they arranged a room for me at the Regent Hotel. Nono, as the interviewer, has also been staying there during this time." Lu Mingfei's answer was somewhat vague, not revealing that he and Nono had been almost inseparable these past few days, deliberately leaving some room for Su Xiaoqiang's imagination.

Nuonuo, standing nearby, instantly understood Lu Mingfei's implied meaning. She glared at him with displeasure, her eyes clearly saying, "What? Am I not enough for you? You want to hook up with someone else?"

Lu Mingfei didn't speak, but simply nodded imperceptibly, his expression seeming to say, "So what?"

"Lu Mingfei!" Just as Nuonuo was about to explode, a scream suddenly came from Su Xiaoqiang in the back row: "Ah—!"

"What's wrong, Little Fairy?" Lu Mingfei immediately turned around and asked.

"There was a figure outside the window just now! And it knocked on the window!" Su Xiaoqiang's voice trembled noticeably, and she seemed quite at a loss.

"Oh, don't worry, it's normal," Lu Mingfei said casually without turning his head.

Su Xiaoqiang looked bewildered and was about to ask, "What's normal?" when she suddenly saw a figure appear on the road directly in front of the car. She could clearly see that the figure's eyes were flashing with an eerie golden light, like a beast lurking in the darkness, exuding a ferocious intent to devour its prey.

Startled, she was about to warn him when she saw Nono in the driver's seat not only fail to slow down but also slam on the gas. The Maserati shot forward like an arrow, smashing into the figure blocking its path and sending him flying. Su Xiaoqiang's pupils constricted, and she couldn't help but gasp again.

"Don't worry, little fairy, it was just a speed bump, nothing serious." Lu Mingfei turned to Su Xiaoqiang and waved his hand, his tone as relaxed as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"Speed ​​bump?" Su Xiaoqiang opened her mouth, almost blurting out, "Do you think I'm blind? How could such a big person be a speed bump?" But looking at Lu Mingfei's nonchalant attitude, as if he had really just run over a speed bump, she inexplicably felt a strange sense of "it really is no big deal".

The torrential rain continued to pour down, blurring the world outside the car window with rain and mist. Suddenly, the hazy darkness was filled with pairs of eyes gleaming with a golden, eerie light, like lurking wild beasts watching from the shadows. Su Xiaoqiang noticed this abruptly, and another terrified scream erupted from her throat.

Strangely, the figures merely followed the Maserati from a distance, maintaining a safe distance and daring not to approach it even slightly, as if the car were a taboo they would avoid at all costs. Upon closer inspection, one could see that their bodies were trembling violently, every muscle resisting, as if they were desperately trying to escape but were bound by some invisible shackles, forced to remain in place.

Su Xiaoqiang's voice was a little hoarse. She tried hard to sound calm, but she couldn't suppress the trembling in her voice. Her hands clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

"Hey, did you already know this would happen, which is why you made me go on this overpass?" Nono glanced at the figures surrounding but not attacking outside the window, then frowned as she looked at Lu Mingfei.

"Pretty much. After all, some evidence is needed to make an explanation easier to understand." Lu Mingfei leaned back in the passenger seat, his posture as casual as if he were taking a walk in the park, completely ignoring the strange scene around him.

"Little Fairy, do you believe in dragons?" He suddenly turned to ask the person in the back row.

Perhaps influenced by Lu Mingfei's incredibly relaxed aura, Su Xiaoqiang's fear lessened somewhat. She composed herself, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "I didn't believe it before, but I do now—you mean, those things outside are dragons?"

"Of course not, they don't deserve it. Those are just a bunch of runaway hybrids of dragons and humans, essentially industrial waste," Lu Mingfei said casually.

"A hybrid of dragon and human?" Su Xiaoqiang was taken aback by this answer.

"Yes, a hybrid of dragon and human. You can call them hybrids, or you can just call them little dragons. Of course, I'm not talking about those failed attempts outside. Normal hybrids look no different from ordinary people, at most they are more outstanding in appearance, but their abilities in all aspects far exceed those of ordinary people, and they can even use supernatural powers."

Lu Mingfei paused, then revealed the truth in his usual casual tone, "In this world today, the true rulers are actually the mixed-race people hiding in the shadows. This is the true face of the world."
