Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

"Yeah, it's just a hobby. Didn't Lu Jun tell you?" Feng Jianli scraped off the last nail from her nail and turned to look at Caesar. "I'm a 'ghost', a 'ghost' who lives and dies every day, and I'm also the second-in-command of the fierce ghosts. For a 'ghost' like me to have a hobby is a luxury. After all, no one knows when they will die."

Kazama Ruri, or Gen Chikage's voice was indifferent, with a cold and sad look in her eyes. This boy gave people the feeling that he was as fleeting as the thin cherry blossoms in early spring.

"Basara-kun, do you fear life?" Kazama Ruri asked softly. "Have you ever experienced a life where your life is as fragile as paper? Have you ever been killed by someone close to you... by their own hands?"

Fengjian Liuli's voice was very soft, but the meaning of her words was heavier than a mountain.

Caesar was silent. As the heir of the Gattuso family, he had been a child of fortune and had lived a life of luxury. His life had always been more precious than gold, and he really could not understand what it meant to live a life that was born and died every day and was as fragile as paper.

"I'm hailed as Japan's top gigolo, the king of the gigolo world, but deep down I don't think that's excessive praise." Kazama Ruri's beautiful almond-shaped eyes glared at Caesar. "Basara and Ukyo, you're certainly talented new gigolos, but in my opinion, you'll never reach my level. Do you know why?"

This was a rare occasion when Ruri Kazama unveiled her modesty, revealing her inner rebellious side... Caesar should have been angry at Ruri Kazama's provocative and seemingly derogatory words, but he wasn't, because even Caesar unconsciously admitted in his heart that what Ruri Kazama said was the truth.

The young man was not deliberately boasting about himself or belittling Caesar and the others. He was simply speaking his mind, and his tone and expression were very serious.

"Because the life of a gigolo is more like a game to you, Basara. You can't be a gigolo forever." Fengjian Liuli asked and answered herself. "You may have had some unavoidable reasons to enter this industry, but it's mostly for fun. In your eyes, those women who need you are at best just clients. They pay you money, and you provide them with emotional value. Being a gigolo is just a job for you at this stage."

"So what does being a gigolo mean to you?" Chu Zihang asked Xiang Fengjian Liuli, "Or what do women mean to you?"

"It's the antidote." Feng Jianli smiled. "Ghosts like us who live and die every day are all insecure. Loneliness and solitude are like poison to us. If we become too sick, we will die. Lonely guys like us certainly need women as the antidote. I am not only helping those lonely girls as a gigolo, but I also need their comfort. On that beautiful night, they can tell me anything, and when our love is deep, our souls will blend together."

"Sounds like a one-night stand," Caesar commented.

"No, this kind of comfort is spiritual and does not require any physical relationship." Feng Jian Liuli shook her head, "I usually look for the loneliest girl in the crowd. This kind of girl is the best antidote."

"I like seeing girls wandering helplessly in the crowd. I'll sit next to them and let them buy me a martini or a red bean-flavored daifuku. I enjoy the process of them getting familiar with me..." Fengjian Liuli smiled faintly, "But unfortunately, this antidote is a one-time effect. The next day, those girls will become attached to me. They will feel that love has sprouted between us. Once love begins, the unique loneliness in them will be eliminated, and the antidote will no longer work."

Fengjian Liuli's smile is very charming, just like the rippling spring water. Every time you glance at his smiling face, you can see a completely different flavor. It should be difficult for a girl in this world to refuse such a man. In comparison, Caesar's sunny smile seems a bit monotonous, and Chu Zihang's mechanical smile is directly blown to pieces.

"He's worthy of being my son. He looks so much like me." Uesugi Yue stared at Kazama Ruri in a daze, muttering in a voice that only he could hear.

"He's worthy of being your son. It seems that you, Master Yue, are just the same kind of scum." Lu Mingfei also leaned over and whispered in Uesugi Yue's ear.

"I'm different from my brother. He can live freely in the sunshine. No, he is the magnificent sun himself. He was born to shine on others. But I am the filth hiding in the gutter, a 'ghost' who is not allowed to exist. My birth is a mistake." Fengjian Liuli said softly, "But who is willing to admit that their existence is a mistake?"

"Tell me, we are brothers who came into this world together, why is there such a big difference in our destinies? Who decides all this?" Fengjian Liuli's eyes were blurred.

"This is not your fault, kid." Uesugi Yue said to Kazama Ruri seriously, "There is something wrong with this world."

Feng Jian Liuli was stunned. He looked at Lu Mingfei: "Who is this?"

"Don't mind him, don't mind him. He's just a ramen chef with Alzheimer's disease." Lu Mingfei waved his hand. "You can call him Master Yue."

"Just pretend that Master Yue doesn't exist. We don't need to avoid him during our conversation. Don't worry, I can guarantee that this ramen chef won't leak what we talked about today. As for his true identity..." Lu Mingfei glanced at Uesugi Yue, "Let him tell you in person, after he's mentally prepared."

Kazama Ruri looked at Uesugi Yue deeply and nodded.

"As for this one..." Lu Mingfei pointed at Eiry beside him. He was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to introduce Eiry to Kazama Ruri.

"You must be the head of the Uesugi family." Kazama Ruri nodded to Eri, "What a beautiful girl. I've heard of your name for a long time."

"Do you know Eiry?" This time it was Lu Mingfei's turn to be stunned.

"Of course, how could I not know her? After all, after I 'died', the head of the Uesugi family became my brother's most important sister." Kazama Ruri smiled at Eri. "And as the Dragon King of the Oni clan, I must of course obtain as much information as possible about the hostile forces and the hidden combat power of the Eight Snake Clan. How could I not know about such an important figure as the head of the Uesugi family?"

Eiry is an important brother to Ruri Kazama, and is also the strongest fighter among the eight snake families. Ruri Kazama should have been full of hostility towards this girl... but he was not. Ruri Kazama looked at this quiet and taciturn girl and felt an inexplicable intimacy with her, which was incredible to him.

"Then you still dare to let her into your territory?" Caesar asked. "Since you know her, you should know how destructive she is. Aren't you afraid that your important stronghold will be destroyed? Or are you confident that you can suppress the head of the Uesugi family with your words?"

"There will be no fighting between us." Fengjian Liuli said lightly, "Because I have no hostility towards the head of the Uesugi family, and I don't feel any hostility from the head of the Uesugi family. And we received a secret report this morning that the eight snake families have made a big move. The former head of the family, Tachibana Masamune, has been dismissed from all his positions. This is great news for the ghosts, because the head of the Uesugi family with the highest combat power is not our enemy. Our real enemy is the former head of the eight snake families, Tachibana Masamune, who was dismissed from power."

"Mr. Kazama, how much do you know about Tachibana Masamune?" Lu Mingfei asked calmly.

Fengjian Liuli did not answer Lu Mingfei's question. He just clapped his hands. A woman in a white suit and black sunglasses walked in from outside the door. She handed a stack of file bags to Lu Mingfei, and then knelt behind Fengjian Liuli.

Lu Mingfei took the file bag. The file bag was made of brown kraft paper and printed with a symbol of a sword and shield, a red five-pointed star, and a sickle and hammer. This was the logo of the former Soviet KGB organization. The sealing line and red seal on the file bag were still there, which meant that it had never been opened before today.

However, to Fengjian Liuli's surprise, Lu Mingfei did not even look at the contents of the file bag. He took the file bag and immediately handed it to Caesar.

"Sakura-kun, what do you mean by this?" Kazama Ruri was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly. "Why don't you open the document bag and take a look? It contains a very important truth, and it represents the sincerity of my invitation to you this time."

"Kazama-kun, the file bag contains the identity information of Tachibana Masamune, right?" Lu Mingfei stared into Kazama Ruri's eyes.

"How do you know?" Fengjian Liuli was stunned.

"Winter snow... vast icy plains... In the far north, a Siberian harbor, an experimental base called 'Black Swan Port,' countless experimental embryos... keels..." Lu Mingfei slowly recited some key words, "A fire that burned the sky red... Two men... One named Bondarev... One named Herzog..."

Feng Jian Liuli was completely stunned. He looked at Lu Mingfei in disbelief. This was the first time that Feng Jian Liuli showed such shock. In the past, calmness and composure were his hallmarks. The destruction of the world was probably not enough to shock him.

"Tachibana Masamune's true identity is Colonel Bondarev, a member of the former Soviet KGB and one of the instigators of the Black Swan Port Incident." Lu Mingfei looked at Fengjian Liuli with a blank expression. "This is the truth you are going to tell me, Fengjian-kun, right?"

Chapter 426 King General, Herzog

Fengjian Liuli stared at Lu Mingfei's eyes, as if she wanted to read his inner world from his eyes.

But Lu Mingfei's eyes were like a bottomless quagmire. Fengjian Liuli could not see anything clearly. She could only see her own turbid reflection, and there were even signs that she was sinking deeply into it.

"Sakura-kun, you're truly incredible." Kazama Ruri retracted her gaze and couldn't help but sigh, "It would be a terrifying thing for anyone to become an enemy with someone like you. If I have to face you, Sakura-kun, as my enemy, I'd rather face Satan!"

"But fortunately, we are not enemies. I don't want to become enemies with you, Fengjian-kun." Lu Mingfei also said sincerely, "I know that you are a natural actor, Fengjian-kun. Your acting skills are so superb that people can't tell whether you are acting or real. But in my opinion, Fengjian-kun, you are actually a trustworthy person, so this time I will trust you, just like you chose to trust me."

"Sakura-kun, wait until you hear what I have to say next... When it comes to Deadpool, everyone's first reaction will probably be to think of us, the Oni Clan, rather than the Snake Clan." Fengjian Liuli handed a few photos to Lu Mingfei and the others. "But what if I told you that the Deadpool crisis at Genji Heavy Industries last night actually originated from within Genji Heavy Industries, and that those Deadpools were pets of Tachibana Masamune, or Colonel Bondarev, who went berserk due to some kind of human intervention... Sakura-kun, would you believe this? Or would you think I'm deceiving you?"

The photos Ruri Kazama had prepared were comprehensive. This thick stack of photos documented the entire contents of the underground darkroom at Genji Heavy Industries in perfect and detailed detail: the enormous medical beds, the accompanying medical clamps, the rusted steel cables and chains... and the enormous water tank, with the serpentine shadows swimming within, both hideous and eerie. There were also close-ups of Deadpool approaching the glass curtain wall, the skulls of those monsters opening like flowers, their mouths filled with rows of sharp fangs like saw teeth, their forked and lengthy tongues screaming in a terrifying way... and the dissected mothers, soaking in a viscous nutrient tank, the living fetuses within looking like young snakes with arms and legs, their half-open, dark golden pupils exuding an indescribable eeriness...

These were scenes that Lu Mingfei and his companions had never seen. Even though Lu Mingfei had long known that there was such a secret room for raising Deathstroke under the ground of Genji Heavy Industries, he had never had the chance to go there. Now that Fengjian Liuli handed him the photos, Lu Mingfei read them carefully and passed them to Caesar and Chu Zihang to look at together... Only by witnessing them could one better understand the cruel truth. The guilt of that old dog Tachibana Masamune in Lu Mingfei's heart deepened again.

"It looks like these Deadpools were artificially created?" Chu Zihang asked, pointing to a close-up of a monster in the photo that had not yet completely transformed into a Deadpool.

The monster in the photo was tied up in mid-air with steel ropes. It had the face of an adult woman. The woman's feet had grown together, and the toes were fused with a thick snake tail. Her expression was painful and terrified. It was obvious that she wanted to scream, but the corners of her mouth had cracked to her ears, and her open mouth was full of ferocious sharp teeth. Her long red tongue was like a small snake.

"Yes, even if all the ghosts who have transformed into dragons in the past three years were combined, they still cannot gather so many Deadpools. These Deadpools were artificially created. They were human before they transformed into Deadpools. Under the stimulation of drugs, they became like the ones in the photo." Fengjian Liuli said expressionlessly.

"For those who do such things, hell is their only destination." Caesar slammed the photo on the table.

They killed countless Deadpools last night in order to save innocent people from Genji Heavy Industries, but now Ruri Kazama told Caesar that those people they killed were actually innocent ordinary people. This truth made Caesar feel that his justice was tarnished.

"Believe it or not, these deadpools have nothing to do with us, the demon clan." Feng Jianli said bluntly, "The instigator of all this is the former head of the Snake Eight Clan, Tachibana Masamune."

"Thank you, Kazama-kun, for sharing these photos with us. They made Tachibana Masamune's crimes even more serious." Lu Mingfei collected the photos and handed them back to Kazama Liuli. "If that old man dies in the future, it must be thanks to you, Kazama-kun."

Kazama Ruri took the photo and asked, "So you believe all this is a conspiracy by Tachibana Masamune?"

"It's not about whether I believe it or not." Lu Mingfei shook his head and said to Feng Jianli, "We already knew that this was Tachibana Masamune's doing."

"You know?" Fengjian Liuli was stunned.

"Yes, I knew it from the beginning. Didn't you receive a secret report that Tachibana Masamune was dismissed yesterday? It's probably because the truth has been exposed within the Snake Eight Families." Lu Mingfei nodded. "It was Tachibana Masamune who bred Deadpool, and it was also the guy who deceived your brother. But yesterday's accident was not caused by that old fellow Tachibana Masamune."

Fengjian Liuli was stunned. Lu Mingfei just looked at him straight, and Fengjian Liuli really felt like he was seen through. But Lu Mingfei was even younger than him.

"Kazama-kun, you said that Genji Heavy Industries' Deadpool went berserk last night due to some kind of human intervention." Lu Mingfei said calmly, "You were the one who caused this accident, right?"

"No, it can't be said to be an accident." Lu Mingfei shook his head again and said seriously, "It should be said that you, Fengjian-kun, did it on purpose. You released those captive Deadpools and plunged the Snake Eight Clan into chaos. It was a kind of revenge for the Snake Eight Clan's destruction of your Paradise Hall. It was also to reveal to us strong evidence of Tachibana Masamune's crimes."

Feng Jian Liuli was completely stunned. He was dazed for a long time, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes when he looked at Lu Mingfei. However, Feng Jian Liuli did not ask Lu Mingfei "How did you know?" or "Who are you?" Instead, he nodded after a long silence.

"Yes, I did it." Feng Jianli looked at Lu Mingfei and sighed deeply again, "My feeling was indeed correct. As an ally, I feel that you, Sakura-kun, are truly terrifying. In front of you, I feel that I have been completely seen through. It would be an extremely sad thing to become your enemy, Sakura."

"Forget about allies. Even being on the same team with this guy makes him unpredictable. Yet, he knows you better than your own father." Caesar rarely agreed with Kazama Ruri, a point that deeply touched him. "But sometimes, this guy doesn't play by logic. He's a complete lunatic."

"It's undeniable that Tachibana Masamune, or Bondarev, is a cunning man, but he's not my number one enemy. In other words, I'm not seeking your cooperation just to kill Tachibana Masamune." Kazama Ruri brought the conversation back on track. "Because compared to that other man, even Tachibana Masamune's cunning is like child's play in front of him."

"What are you talking about?" Caesar asked.

"General Wang." Fengjian Liuli slowly uttered this code name, as if spitting out the name of the devil.

Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other, and both looked at Lu Mingfei tacitly, but Lu Mingfei remained silent and had no intention of speaking, so neither of them spoke.

"The code names of our high-ranking members of the Oni Clan are ranked according to the importance of their shogi characters, with the King General being our supreme leader," said Kazama Ruri. "So you must be wondering why I, the second-in-command of the Oni Clan, would kill the King General. Perhaps you think I intend to take his place after his death and take control of the entire Oni Clan."

"But I have no desire for power. I climbed to the position of Dragon King just to kill the King General. This is what I have insisted on doing all these years." Feng Jianli said to herself, "But I have no chance of killing the King General. He is the most terrifying man I have ever met. Perhaps I will not be able to kill this man until the day my bloodline goes out of control."

"However, not long ago, Sakura-kun and the others came into my sight. Your arrival gave me hope. I think you might be the ray of hope that can save Japan." Fengjian Liuli looked at Lu Mingfei, "And after meeting you today, Sakura-kun, my thoughts have become even more firm. If we join forces with you, Sakura-kun, maybe we can really kill that devil."

Lu Mingfei didn't comment on Feng Jian Liuli's words, but simply asked calmly: "Feng Jianjun, how much do you know about the man named Wang Jiang?"

"He's an extremely mysterious man. General Wang rescued me from the underworld and became my teacher. He taught me killing techniques and knowledge about the world of mixed-bloods. You could say everything I have today is a gift from him, but he never reveals anything about himself to me," Fengjian Liuli whispered. "No one knows his name or what he looks like, because he always appears wearing a mask, as if it's grown on his face... Yet, this man with such a questionable identity and background became the leader of the Demon Clan within a year."

"Twenty-one years ago, the relationship between the Menggui Clan and the Eight Snake Clans was as hostile as fire and water, and the battle was extremely fierce. However, the Menggui Clan's numbers and territorial power were far less than those of the Eight Snake Clans. The Menggui Clan's leader at the time also lacked skills. The Menggui Clan suffered defeats on the battlefield, and in the end the entire organization was on the verge of collapse." Fengjian Liuli said.

"At this time, a man appeared before the fierce ghosts. He brought a magical medicine that could greatly enhance the bloodline of hybrids, allowing them to evolve to a higher level. The fierce ghosts were desperate and took the man's medicine with all their might. Then, the 'ghosts' were surprised to find that their bloodline had actually undergone a qualitative evolution. They all became brave and good at fighting, and there was no phenomenon of bloodline loss of control in a short period of time. As a result, the fierce ghosts' battle situation with the eight families of Sheqi changed." Fengjian Liuli said, "For a time, the eight families of Sheqi were suppressed by the fierce ghosts. The fierce ghosts successfully occupied the entire Osaka Prefecture and took root there. That man was hailed as the savior of the fierce ghosts and was sought after by everyone."

"And that man is Wang Jiang. The bloodline-enhancing medicine he brought was the predecessor of the Ghost Potion." Feng Jian Liuli said in a deep voice, "Not long after Wang Jiang appeared, the leader of the Ghost Clan disappeared. Everyone knew it was Wang Jiang's doing, but the Ghost Clan is an organization that worships power. Whoever can bring prosperity to the Ghost Clan will be respected. So Wang Jiang naturally became the new generation leader of the Ghost Clan. His strategies and iron fist made the entire Ghost Clan stronger and stronger. At one point, they surpassed the Snake Eight Clan, the main underworld family. It was not until the appearance of a man named Tachibana Masamune that the Snake Eight Clan once again turned from decline to prosperity."

"However, the potion that man provided ultimately had problems. Its onset lasted longer than the Ghost Potion, and its effects were even more potent. Once it took effect, it was not only irreversible, but the transformation into a Deadpool could be complete within a matter of days," said Kazama Ruri. "The dragon-like transformations caused a major cholera outbreak within the Ghost Clan, and it wasn't until the Scavenger Team was formed that the unrest was completely quelled."

"Kazama-kun, I heard that Tachibana Masamune also appeared twenty years ago, also when the Snake Eight Clan was in danger. He saved the Snake Eight Clan and also became the head of the Snake Eight Clan with an iron fist." Chu Zihang suddenly spoke up, "And he also masters the same technology as Wang Jiang. He can also artificially create Deadpool, and his origins are quite mysterious. Don't you find that these two people have a lot in common?"

"Yes, they are so similar. They arrived in Japan at the same time, possess the same technology, and are both extremely cunning and scheming. The general told me everything about Black Swan Port himself, and he also told me a secret." Fengjian Liuli looked at everyone and said word by word, "The general said that Tachibana Masamune is his 'old friend' who he has known for a long time."

"Everything started with the Black Swan Port incident twenty years ago. It was a bloody cause that produced the bloody result today. Wang Jiang and Tachibana Masamune both have only twenty years of experience. They came from the same place and were old acquaintances." Kazama Ruri said seriously, "There are only two most important figures in this incident. If Tachibana Masamune is Bondarev in the story, then who is Wang Jiang?"

After a moment's silence, Lu Mingfei asked Feng Jianli: "Feng Jian, you mean to say that the King General is Dr. Herzog, right?"

"That's right, there is only this possibility!" Fengjian Liuli nodded.

"The general told me that in the raging fire in the Arctic Ocean, everyone died except Bondarev. He came to Japan and became Masamune Tachibana," said Kazama Ruri. "When he said this, the general's tone was full of resentment, like a ghost crawling back from hell to seek revenge on Masamune Tachibana. Only two people possess the technology to create Deadpool: Masamune Tachibana, who is Colonel Bondarev... and the general, whose real identity is Dr. Herzog!"

Chapter 427: Method of Killing General Wang

"The events of twenty years ago were incredibly complex, from the Siberian port all the way to Tokyo, Japan. Fengjian-kun, you weren't a witness, but you were able to deduce so much based solely on General Wang's account. This proves you're very smart and quick-witted." Lu Mingfei paused, looked at Fengjian Liuli, and asked, "But Fengjian-kun, do you think you've grasped the entire truth?"

"I know I can't do it. I can't possibly understand the entire truth, because General Wang won't be able to tell me all the facts. He's bound to be hiding something," Feng Jian Liuli said. "But at least I know General Wang's ultimate goal. I can even say it's because General Wang never hides his goals, and that's the most important thing."

"The king's goal is to resurrect 'God'."

"When the potion the King General brought lost its effectiveness, he announced to the demons that it was because he lacked the most crucial ingredient: true dragon blood. Without true dragon blood, humans would never be able to cross the barrier between hybrids and dragons," Fengjian Liuli said. "But in this era, true dragons are almost extinct. Where can we get true dragon blood? At this point, the King General proposed that the remains of the 'God' must contain residual genes. By extracting the 'God' genes from the remains, we could create a potion that could enable hybrids to evolve into true dragons."

"Everyone knows that resurrecting a 'God' is tantamount to awakening a demon from the depths of Hell, but faced with the temptation of evolving into dragons, everyone turns to greedy demons," said Fengjian Liuli. "The fierce ghosts have become pawns of the King General. The King General uses the potion that can evolve as bait, but his true goal is to awaken the fallen 'God'. To achieve this goal, he can do anything and sacrifice anyone. Everyone is his food. He consumes them and strengthens himself. On the eve of achieving his goal, even I, whom he personally raised, will be eaten by him without mercy. In the end, he will devour everything. He will eat the resurrected 'God' as well and become the new 'God'... That man has such a monstrous ambition."

"Is this the gift you gave me, Fengjian-kun?" Lu Mingfei asked calmly, "To show your sincerity, you shared all the information you knew with me so that we could form an alliance."

"Yes, this is the most sincere gift I can offer." Feng Jianli nodded and said sincerely, "The amount of information you have and your own ability are the two most important factors in winning a war. This is also what General Wang taught me."

"In my opinion, Sakura-kun, you are all very capable people. Before you came here, Kassel Academy must have given you a general introduction to Japan. Perhaps you were able to obtain some unknown confidential documents, such as the files on Black Swan Port and Colonel Bondarev." Fengjian Liuli said to Lu Mingfei, "But after all, Sakura-kun, you are all new to Japan. Reference materials and firsthand battlefield experience are two completely different things. The information you have is not in line with your own abilities, and you are likely to be put on the defensive everywhere."

The fact that everything could be predicted in advance was too unbelievable. Feng Jian Liuli never thought about it at all. Even if Lu Mingfei predicted the contents of the confidential files without even looking at them, Feng Jian Liuli would at most think that it was because Lu Mingfei had already known the information about the Siberian port in advance.

There's nothing impossible about this. Kassel Academy is more powerful than the Demon Clan and the Eight Snake Families, and Norma's computing power is even higher than Kaguya's. That supercomputer probably figured out the secret of Black Swan Harbor twenty years ago through some clues, and then compiled it into similar files for Lu Mingfei and others to browse in advance... Fengjian Liuli had this idea.

"A more important reason that compels me to negotiate with you so urgently is that General Wang suddenly returned to the Ghost Clan today," Feng Jian Liuli whispered. "He hasn't been seen among the Ghost Clan in a long time. Upon his appearance today, he announced two pieces of news to the group. The first is that the Eight Snake Clans have called a halt to their war with the Ghost Clan. The second is that they are consolidating the Ghost Clan's forces, temporarily suspending the search for the 'God', and waiting for the right moment to launch an all-out counterattack against the Eight Snake Clans."

"Why?" Caesar frowned slightly. "Haven't the Snakes already called off the war with the Ghosts? Why didn't General Wang take advantage of this time to let the Ghosts recuperate, or find the whereabouts of the 'God' before the Snakes, instead of actively provoking the Snakes?"

"Perhaps because the Snake Eight Clan just experienced the disaster of Deadpool's attack and released the news of stopping the war, the Ghost Clan mistakenly believed that the Snake Eight Clan was now weak and that this was a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation and change the situation." Chu Zihang analyzed, "Right now, there are only three forces in Japan looking for the 'God': the Ghost Clan, the Snake Eight Clan, and Kassel Academy. Kassel Academy only has us and the principal. The principal's whereabouts are erratic, and the Ghost Clan probably has no way to track us. We are probably not taken seriously by the Ghost Clan yet, so as long as we defeat the Snake Eight Clan and the King General can indeed suppress the resurrected 'God', the power of 'God' will be in the hands of the Ghost Clan."

"No, General Wang's actions just show he's anxious and can't sit still anymore." Lu Mingfei offered a different perspective. "Because the Snake Qi Eight Clans have stopped fighting the Fierce Ghost Clan, they will definitely turn all their strength to finding the 'God'. General Wang is afraid that the Snake Qi Eight Clans will find their target before him, because now he can no longer interfere with the Snake Qi Eight Clans' actions. The Fierce Ghost Clan is the only force he can control."

"If the Fierce Ghosts succeed in suppressing the Snake Clans, that would be even better. If they can't defeat the Snake Clans, at least they can hinder their progress in investigating the 'God,'" Lu Mingfei said. "Even if the Fierce Ghosts and the Snake Clans are destroyed together, it would be a good thing for General Wang, because his ultimate goal is to obtain the power of the 'God.' He doesn't care who dies or how many people die."

"That's right, just like Sakura-kun said, Wang Jiang is such a madman." Feng Jianli nodded heavily. "Wang Jiang's condition today is obviously different from before. In the past, he was a scheming strategist who always maintained an extremely calm state. He handled everything slowly and measuredly because he was confident that everything was under control. But today, Wang Jiang was uncharacteristically swift and decisive. Although he didn't show any panic, his actions were obviously different from before. It was as if he was caught off guard by some sudden accident. Combining Sakura-kun's analysis just now, I have come to a bold conclusion..."

Feng Jianli looked around at everyone and said slowly: "The resurrection of 'God'... may be imminent."

"I have a question." Caesar suddenly spoke.

"Is it about the King General? Or about 'God'?" Feng Jianli asked, "I have told you everything I know about the King General."

"It's about you." Caesar stared at Fengjian Liuli.

"Me?" Fengjian Liuli raised his handsome eyebrows.

"Yes, no matter how much Lu Mingfei tells me you're trustworthy, I still doubt your position. It has nothing to do with how good a gigolo or Kabuki actor you are." Caesar's icy blue eyes were filled with judgment. "It's not that I don't trust Lu Mingfei, nor do I distrust Fengjian Liuli as a person. Instead, I'm questioning the Dragon King of the Ghost Clan from the perspective of the Kassel Academy's operations specialist."

"That's understandable. So, Basara-kun, what are you questioning me about? Do you think that I've deceived you in the information I shared with you? Or do you suspect that I'm pretending to form an alliance with you, but in reality I'm still a pawn of the King?" asked Ruri Kazama.

"No, my question is... why don't you want to resurrect 'God'?" Caesar questioned.

"You are the second most powerful person among the ghosts after the King. As long as you kill the King, you can completely control the 'God'. You can evolve into a real dragon and obtain the forbidden power. At that time, you can get everything you want, even the whole world. Can you resist this temptation?" Caesar asked.

"Let me first answer your first question, Basara-kun, about why I didn't kill the general." After a moment's silence, Kazama Ruri sighed softly, "Because the general is unkillable."

"Unkillable?" Caesar frowned deeply. "How could there be someone in this world who is immortal? Even a pervert like your brother, who carries the blood of the emperor, wouldn't survive if his throat was cut or his heart was crushed."

"I've tried all the methods you mentioned. I've made Wang Jiang so dead he couldn't get any deader. Really," Feng Jian Liuli whispered. "But he always comes back to life again and again, like an immortal ghost!"

"I cut his throat with a long knife and watched as blood gushed out of his arteries like a fountain until all the blood had drained out. But the next day, the king appeared before me again, intact. The second time, I was so angry that I cut off his head. I wanted to remove his mask to see his true appearance, but I was horrified to find that the mask was really connected to the skin on his face." Fengjian Liuli's eyes widened, "The mask was growing on his face... No! The mask is his face!"

"I've never seen such a person! He's a monster!" Feng Jianli's eyes flashed with fear as she spoke these words. "I knew ordinary methods couldn't kill this monster, so I pushed him into the meat grinder and watched the rollers grind him into minced meat and blood. I threw him into the boiling lava and watched his face burn to the point where not a bone was left. I even pushed him down from a height of ten thousand meters... But no matter how I killed him, Wang Jiang would appear before me intact soon after, as if I hadn't killed him at all, but his copy or substitute."

Hearing what Fengjian Liuli said, Caesar and Chu Zihang couldn't help but shudder slowly. Such a king general was indeed like a ghost that could not be killed. No matter how he died, he would appear in front of you intact... Just like he should have died in the Black Swan Port incident twenty years ago, but appeared in Japan quietly.

"Maybe it's General Wang's words at work?" Chu Zihang is a staunch materialist. In his opinion, things like ghosts and spirits cannot exist.
