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

First, the father he had always admired turned out to be the despicable and cunning Dr. Herzog, then his biological father who was a ramen chef suddenly appeared, and now his brother who was supposed to be dead is sitting here with these three guys... The key is that Yuan Zhisheng, as the person involved, knows nothing about this, while the Kassel Academy commissioners who are outsiders know more than each other, as if the script that should have belonged to Yuan Zhisheng's life has been read and questioned by these irrelevant guys, which makes Yuan Zhisheng's original worldview a little... collapsed.

Yuan Zhisheng's gaze continued to move, and when he saw the girl next to Lu Mingfei, Yuan Zhisheng sighed inwardly that Eiry had indeed come. Seeing how Eiry and Lu Mingfei got along without any awkwardness, and even their sitting posture close to each other seemed somewhat intimate and ambiguous, when he thought of how Lu Mingfei had kidnapped Eiry from Sheqiba's house without even saying hello, Yuan Zhisheng, as Eiry's brother, couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Lu Mingfei.

When Yuan Zhisheng's gaze continued to shift and he saw the old man sitting on the other side of the long table, he was suddenly stunned, and his majestic and cold aura collapsed in an instant.

"You're here too?" Gen Chisheng bowed slightly to Uesugi Yue. "Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to watch your brother's performance. Lu Mingfei invited me to come along." Uesugi Yue waved to Yuan Zhisheng, "Come on, Zhisheng, don't stand. The table is big. Take the girl behind you and find a seat."

The tone was semi-commanding. You have to know that Minamoto no Chisei is now the head of the Snake Eight Families and the supreme leader of the Japanese underworld. After Minamoto no Chisei succeeded the position of head of the family, not even Tachibana Masamune had ever given orders to Minamoto no Chisei in this tone... But when the old man said this, Minamoto no Chisei really nodded obediently to the old man, and then took Sakura to find two empty seats and sat down.

The long table that could accommodate seven or eight people was now occupied by eight people. The originally empty space suddenly became a little crowded, and the atmosphere at the table was silent and weird.

Sakura didn't know the relationship between Uesugi Koshi and Minamoto no Chisei. Seeing Minamoto no Chisei being so respectful to this ordinary-looking old man, Sakura was slightly surprised and couldn't help but speculate about the old man's identity.

Gen Chisheng sat next to Uesugi Yue, opposite him was his sister Eri, Sakura sat slightly behind his left, opposite Sakura was Lu Mingfei, and on her left was Chu Zihang. From Gen Chisheng's angle, he could finally see the front of that figure.

It was still the face in memory, the face that looked so pretty and clean without any makeup, gentle like a good girl. Time seemed to have left no trace on that face, as if the tragedy of that rainy night had not happened, they were just temporarily separated and suddenly met again, but suddenly they were both a few years older.

But Yuan Zhisheng knew... after the separation of life and death and the passing of time, they had already embarked on completely different lives.

"Can you tell me now?" Uesugi Yue looked at Lu Mingfei.

"Chisheng is here too, everyone is here. What exactly did you say to Chi...what did you say to that child Kazama Ruri?" Uesugi Yue looked at Gen Chisheng who had been staring at Kazama Ruri, and then looked at Kazama Ruri who was in a daze. Just when the word "child girl" was about to come out of his mouth, he suddenly changed his words.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, there's still one person. If she doesn't come, then everyone else won't be here." Lu Mingfei looked towards the door of the Japanese-style room, "Come in quickly, Miss Sakurai Kogure."

As soon as Lu Mingfei finished speaking, a woman in a white suit appeared at the door of the Japanese-style room. She was holding a tray with two cups of steaming tea on it. The woman gently placed the tea in front of Yuan Zhisheng and Ying, then retreated to the back of Fengjian Liuli and knelt down.

The woman gently took off her sunglasses, revealing her true appearance. It was Ryoma, the casino manager whom Lu Mingfei had met in Paradise before, and the third-in-command of the Ghost Clan, Sakurai Kogure.

"Thanks to Mr. Lu Mingfei's guidance, I and the 136 ghosts were able to escape from General Wang's trap." Sakurai Kogure prostrated himself in the direction of Lu Mingfei.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Zhisheng looked at Lu Mingfei with a strange look.

He personally led the team in the battle to attack Paradise Pavilion, but they found nothing when they arrived at the destination. Paradise Pavilion had long since become an empty shell, and all the important cadres and elites of the Ghost Clan had evacuated. The failure of the attack surprised all the family heads. They thought that there was a traitor among the senior members of the family who leaked the information in advance... and now it seems that it was Lu Mingfei who was behind it again.

Yuan Zhisheng looked at Lu Mingfei with a gloomy look in his eyes. This guy was too mysterious. Not only did he know so many unknown secrets, he could even accurately predict the movements of all parties. Even the "Word Spirit·Prophet" could not make a prediction with such high accuracy. This guy was so mysterious that Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but feel... fear.

"Now everyone is truly here." Lu Mingfei clapped his hands. He looked at Fengjian Liuli, "Fengjian-kun... or rather, Yuan Zhinu, you should tell everyone in person the truth I just told you... After all, this matter is extremely important to both you and Yuan Zhisheng. It may even change the course of your future lives."

Yuan Zhisheng took a deep breath and instinctively put on a more solemn expression. Although he didn't know what Lu Mingfei meant by "the important thing that can change the trajectory of life", Lu Mingfei had already given him too many surprises. He knew that ordinary things were not enough to make his brother look so distraught. So Yuan Zhisheng looked at Yuan Zhinu, holding his breath and waiting for his next words.

"I... am not... a 'ghost'..." Fengjian Liuli still couldn't come back to his senses. He squeezed out these words almost in a whisper, and his voice was vague and ethereal.

"What?" Yuan Zhisheng was stunned. He suspected he hadn't heard clearly and asked Yuan Zhinu again for confirmation, "You said you are not what?"

"I'm not a 'ghost'..." Genji looked at her brother whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and tears slowly flowed from her beautiful eyes. "Brother... Sakura-kun told me... he said... I'm not a 'ghost'... From the beginning... I wasn't... a 'ghost'..."

Although Minamoto Chikō's voice was still vague like a dream talk, this time Minamoto Chikō was fully focused. He understood everything Minamoto Chikō said... and then he was completely stunned.

Just like Yuan Zhinu's reaction when Lu Mingfei told her that she was not a "ghost", Yuan Zhisheng seemed to be struck by lightning. He stood there stupidly, his face dazed and bewildered, and he took a long time to recover.

"Kazama Ruri isn't a 'ghost'?" Caesar was also shocked by the news. He looked at the tearful Yuan Zhinu and asked Lu Mingfei for confirmation, "Is this news reliable?"

"Reliable. I've said it before, I can guarantee with my life that Yuan Zhinu is not a 'ghost,'" Lu Mingfei said with conviction. "His original bloodline is not lacking in stability. His bloodline is very strong, even surpassing that of his brother Yuan Zhisheng. If his character was a little stronger, perhaps it would have been the younger brother Yuan Zhinu instead of the older brother Yuan Zhisheng that Herzog decided to support as the head of the Sheqi Eight Families."

"But this doesn't make any sense at all." Chu Zihang also glanced at Yuan Zhinu. He said in a rational tone, "If Fengjianjun isn't a 'ghost', then how could his bloodline have been out of control, and how could he have even failed to recognize Yuanjun and fought against him?"

"That's because Dr. Herzog modified Minamoto no Chitose's brain." Lu Mingfei tapped his temple. "It was an experiment called 'pontine splitting surgery,' also known as vascular anastomosis surgery. The purpose of the surgery is to influence a person's mind, causing them to react to certain sounds, thereby controlling their body. During the operation, Minamoto no Chitose's personality split, and another personality, Kazama Ruri, was created within him."

"Genji-jo has always been Genji-jo, and this kind personality has always existed. However, Kazama Ruri's personality is not inherently evil either," Lu Mingfei said. "Under normal circumstances, Genji-jo's and Kazama Ruri's personalities can actually coexist peacefully. However, at critical moments, Dr. Herzog uses that special voice to awaken Kazama Ruri's personality, and then uses the fierce ghost potion to transform Kazama Ruri's personality into an extremely evil 'ghost' that is beyond Genji-jo's control."

"I heard Tachibana Masamune mention that kind of brain experiment the night the truth about his breeding of Deadpool was revealed." Gen Chisheng suddenly spoke, his expression a little grim. "Tachibana Masamune said that he learned the technique for creating Deadpool from Dr. Herzog's notes. One of his purposes in breeding Deadpool was to compete with Wang Jiang's Deadpool. I asked him if creating something as dangerous as Deadpool wouldn't be a threat to him. He said that Dr. Herzog's notes mentioned a brain experiment that could control Deadpool's basic actions, such as stillness and attack, through sound... Tachibana Masamune's explanation at the time coincided with Lu Jun's."

"Yes." Lu Mingfei nodded. He looked at Yuan Zhinv. "Do you remember that every time your bloodline was about to get out of control, you heard a sound...similar to a monk knocking on a wooden fish, a strange clapper sound."

"The sound of the clapper..."

Gen Chinu tried hard to recall the moments before he lost control. These were extremely painful memories for him. He had subconsciously avoided them before, because every time he thought of those fragmented moments, his soul seemed to be torn apart.

Chapter 431 Yuan Zhisheng...Yuan Zhisheng...

"The sound of the clappers... the sound of the clappers..."

Sweat had soaked Genji's forehead. His lips were slightly open and he was breathing heavily. It was obvious that he was very sad, but he still tried his best to recall the fragments before he lost control and the information that invaded his mind before he turned into a bloodthirsty evil spirit.

Seeing this, Sakurai Kogure, who was behind Minamoto Chikara, couldn't help but come to her side. She looked at Minamoto Chikara, who was tortured by painful memories, with worried eyes. Sakurai Kogure put her arm on Minamoto Chikara's side so that the man could use her arm for leverage and avoid bumping into the hard edge of the table when he couldn't bear the mental torment.

"Have!"

Genji's body suddenly leaned forward. He held onto Sakurai Kogure's arm, breathing heavily. Beads of sweat as big as beans slowly fell along his long hair onto the tatami... Kazama Ruri looked like he had just experienced a life-and-death battle, but he finally remembered.

"There is indeed a kind of clapper sound... It always rings at a strange frequency... It's like the whisper of a demon... Or like an ancient curse..." Fengjian Liuli said while panting, "After hearing this sound, I gradually lost consciousness... It's like... It's like being sealed in a pitch-black abyss... I can't see any images... I can't hear any sounds... And then the evil spirit in the abyss... will wake up in my place..."

The fragments of Fengjian Liuli's memory are intermittent, so the sentences he speaks are also intermittent, but this does not hinder his expression. Everyone can understand the meaning of Gen Zhinu's words, and can also feel Gen Zhinu's deep-seated fear of that strange clapper sound.

Looking at Genno Chisho who was supporting Sakurai Kogure, still breathing heavily and in pain as if she had been through hell, Genno Chisho's chest ached slightly... Unconsciously, his eyes also turned red. In a daze, he seemed to see the boy who always followed him and held his clothes ten years ago, also so fragile, also so thin... huddled up like a small animal like a squirrel or a house cat.

There were people all around Yuan Zhisheng, including his father and sister, but at this moment, Yuan Zhisheng's eyes were only focused on the boy not far away who completely overlapped with his memory. The memories drowned him like a surging tide.

Fragments of memory flashed back in my mind. Many, many years ago, there was a pair of ordinary brothers living in the mountains. They had no father and no mother, and depended on each other for survival. They were like reeds in the wind, fragile yet strong.

The elder brother is a strong-willed person. He practices swordsmanship very hard and is proficient in basketball and football. He longs to be seen by the girl he likes from behind and can't stand other people's contemptuous looks. The younger brother is a little timid, sentimental and delicate. Sometimes he would cry because of the death of a blade of grass. His biggest wish is to be able to follow his brother all the time. Looking up at his brother's back makes him feel at ease.

They practiced swordplay together, and the elder brother was always the coolest and most talented kid in the dojo. He always held two bamboo swords, but when fighting with his younger brother, he would only use one and carry the other on his shoulder, because any bamboo sword in either hand could defeat his younger brother. There was only one situation where he would use both bamboo swords...that is, whenever someone in the dojo said something bad about his younger brother, using words like "a waste who only relies on his elder brother" and "a sissy who is more girly than a girl" to describe his younger brother, the elder brother would always use the two bamboo swords to beat those people to pieces.

They went to the mountain to watch the Leo meteor shower. The elder brother was a Leo, and he told him that the Leo meteor shower was for Leos, so they would definitely see the largest and most spectacular meteor shower. They even saved their plum rice for lunch... But they didn't wait, the meteor shower didn't come, and all they got was a downpour. The younger brother was standing in the rain at that time. He felt that his brother had prepared for so long, but he couldn't see the meteor shower. This was simply the saddest thing in the world. The younger brother was so sad that he shed tears.

They secretly took a plane together, and the elder brother secretly learned to fly a plane. He was very smart and could learn anything quickly. On his younger brother's birthday, the elder brother stole the forest ranger's plane and took his younger brother to a high mountain. They stood on the top of the mountain overlooking the scenery below. People were as small as ants. The town of Kadori where they grew up was only the size of a palm. The elder brother promised his younger brother that he would make a name for himself in the future and take his younger brother to Tokyo to see the most prosperous city in the world.

Later, the elder brother really came to this big city called Tokyo. The big city was prosperous everywhere. He became one of the highest-ranking people in the city, able to call the wind and rain. His eyes were still sharp, but a little more tired... because he would never have the chance to take his younger brother to see this prosperous city. He broke his promise.

He killed his younger brother with his own hands. On that rainy night, he threw his brother's body, along with the evil spirit in his brother's body, into a wastewater well in the mountains, locking the evil spirit at the bottom of the well forever. He erased all traces on that rainy night, including his memories of his younger brother... He thought that this past event would never be mentioned again in his life.

From then on, he would not hesitate to kill any "ghost" he faced, because the first "ghost" he killed in his life was his own brother. They relied on each other during the most difficult times in their lives, but he killed the brother who relied on him... He has paid the highest price for justice.

He thought he would not hesitate any longer, and he repeatedly told himself that his brother had turned into an extremely evil "ghost", and this was a fact that no one could change. His approach was correct and there was nothing wrong with it. This was the only thing he could do for his brother who had turned into a "ghost", which was to end his life as a "ghost". There was no need to regret the right thing.

But how could he not feel regret? He could never forget the look in his brother's eyes as he looked at the sky at the bottom of the well filled with wastewater. His empty eyes reflected his shadow, and he kept murmuring, "You're here... Brother... Brother... You're back."

He had nightmares again and again. He dreamed that he was lying at the bottom of a pitch-black well, looking up at the pitch-black sky. No matter how he climbed, he could not see any light. The water in the well was icy cold. He hoped that someone would come back to find him... Yes, they depended on each other in the poorest days, but the person he waited for so long stabbed his beating heart with an ice-cold sword, and the hot blood gradually lost its temperature in the cold rainstorm.

He woke up from the recurring nightmare again and again, his hands and feet cold. He finally understood that the icy cold in the nightmare was never the well water, nor the torrential rain from the sky... What was cold was his own heart.

When he killed his brother, his tears had already dried up, and his brother's blood had also dried up. He was cold as he hugged his cold brother... It was like an emotionless puppet and a lifeless corpse hugging each other in the rainy night.

But fate seemed to have played a huge joke on him. The "dead" brother came back after ten years, with the same voice and appearance, still the crybaby, handsome and clean... as if the man-eating evil ghost on that rainy night had never appeared.

It turns out that my brother was never a "ghost"... Then what was it that I killed back then...

Yuan Zhisheng stood up in confusion, walked towards Yuan Zhinu at the end of the long table in confusion, and bent down in confusion... He wanted to touch the girl's head, like he did when he was a child, but in the end he did not stretch out his hand, but just knelt straight on the ground and bowed to Yuan Zhinu.

"Chisheng..." Uesugi Yue had a complicated expression when he saw Minamoto Chisheng's actions.

"Little girl... I'm sorry." Yuan Zhisheng pressed his forehead against the tatami, his earnest tone revealing deep guilt. "What happened ten years ago... was my fault... I made you suffer for so long."

Yuan Zhisheng let out a deep breath. He was so strong-willed that he had never apologized in such a humble manner in his life. But at this moment, he threw away all his self-esteem. He had done something wrong. It was the most misunderstood thing in his life and the biggest mistake he had ever made. He was willing to accept any punishment... Yuan Zhisheng thought so and he did not ask for forgiveness.

The next moment, a pair of hands were placed on Yuan Zhisheng's shoulders. The hands were slender and soft, but very powerful, and they slowly lifted Yuan Zhisheng up.

Yuan Zhisheng raised his head and once again met the face in his memory... That face was tearful, as if crying silently, or crying tears of joy.

"Brother...Brother..." Yuan Zhinv leaned close to Yuan Zhisheng, and he whispered, "You are here... You finally came to find me... I have waited for this day for a long time... You are finally here..."

Yuan Zhisheng's body trembled violently because Yuan Zhinu in front of him slowly walked forward and hugged him.

He could feel the boy's warm tears flowing on his shoulder. The word "brother" was still so gentle and soft, just like ten years ago... What touched Yuan Zhisheng the most was that Yuan Zhinu's tone was exactly the same as in his memory. It seemed as if she was just blaming Yuan Zhisheng for coming late, but did not mention the incident ten years ago at all, as if the rainy night when he was ruthlessly killed by Yuan Zhisheng did not exist at all, and was just a nightmare of the boy.

For so many years, Genjiro has been living between two personalities. One is the evil demon-like Kazama Ruri who longs to take revenge on her brother, and the other is Genjiro, a cowardly mountain boy who longs to be reunited with her brother. It has been Genjiro Ruri who has held the dominant power over this body all these years. He should have completely controlled this body, imprisoned Genjiro in the deepest part of his heart, inserted a sharp knife into his brother's heart, and completed his revenge... just like his brother did to him ten years ago.

But when Gen Chisheng crawled down and said words of apology, Fengjian Liuli felt that she could no longer suppress the boy in her heart. The boy's eagerness to see his brother diluted the pain buried in his heart and extinguished the raging flame of revenge... This time, Fengjian Liuli's personality slowly fell into the abyss, while Gen Chisheng's consciousness broke through layers of shackles and revived suddenly.

"I have a question." Chu Zi came to Lu Mingfei and asked in a low voice, "If Yuan-jun and Fengjian-jun hadn't met today, if the misunderstanding hadn't been resolved, if neither of them knew that Fengjian-jun was controlled by the King General and wasn't actually a 'ghost'... what would have been the final outcome for Yuan-jun and Fengjian-jun?"

Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang in surprise. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.

"That way, they won't have the chance to meet before Herzog's plot is realized. In the end, a decisive battle will begin when everything is irreversible. It will be a war between 'Emperors'. They will both exceed their respective limits, and no one can stop them..." Lu Mingfei looked at his brothers hugging each other not far away and said softly, "Fight to the end, and maybe they will hug each other like they are now... and die together."

Chu Zihang nodded and said, "Then you did a good thing."

Lu Mingfei slowly shook his head: "Herzog is too bad."

"Everyone," Lu Mingfei clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention. "I apologize for interrupting this heartwarming moment of brotherhood, but please calm down for a moment. It's not easy to have everyone here for such a complete meeting today. I want to share all the important information with everyone at once, so I have a few crucial announcements to make."

Everyone looked at Lu Mingfei, who then looked at Yuan Zhinv. "Zhinv, I know you've fully awakened. The one meeting your brother now is entirely the 'Gen Zhinv' personality, while the 'Kazama Ruri' personality has been temporarily sealed. However, you still haven't completely escaped Herzog's control."

"Genjiro and Kazama Ruri, you two share each other's memories. I can tell you everything Kazama Ruri can hear." Lu Mingfei changed the subject, "Kazama Ruri is always a hidden danger in Genjiro's body. He can't remain sealed forever. Once the King General strikes the gong, Kazama Ruri will be awakened again and transformed into an extremely evil 'ghost' controlled by the King General."

"Then what should we do?" Caesar frowned slightly. "Should we completely erase the personality of Kazama Ruri? Can the pontine schizotomy surgery be reversed? Can we do this after recovery?"

"That's unrealistic. Herzog's technology is far superior to ours. I've already looked up the relevant information. The personality created by the pontine splitting surgery cannot be erased through surgery." Lu Mingfei shook his head. "And to be honest, I don't hate Kazama Ruri. In fact, it was Kazama-kun who first met me at Paradise Hall, and it was him who gave me trust. He was just a will formed by the combination of Genjima's obsession and the effects of the surgery. Kazama Ruri herself is not evil. It's only that guy Herzog who is evil."

"And it's not just Genji who's in trouble," Lu Mingfei said, "because he's not the only one who's had pontine schisis surgery."

"Who else?" Uesugi Yue asked anxiously, "Chisei?"

He has already harmed his two children to such a miserable state. If that guy also tampered with Minamoto no Chisei's brain, Uesugi Yue's anger would burn through Herzog.

"It's not Genjisei." Lu Mingfei sighed deeply, "It's Eri."

Chapter 432 Brother and Father

When Lu Mingfei's words came out of his mouth, everyone could clearly feel the tatami under them shaking violently. That was because Uesugi Yue suddenly stood up, and the whole Japanese-style room was like a frightened child, with all four walls shaking.

"Herzog!" Uesugi Yue's eyes glowed with a terrifying golden color, and a raging rage burned deep in his pupils.

The anger was hard to suppress. It was more difficult for the old man to accept that Eri had been tampered with than his two sons. If it weren't for his reason telling him not to act rashly, Uesugi Yue would have wanted to rush into the Sheqi Eight Families and crush Herzog's skull to see if his pons had split. If it hadn't split yet, Uesugi Yue would have broken it himself.

"So, the head of the Uesugi family also has a second personality?" Chu Zihang glanced at Eiry.

"No, Herzog did perform a split-pons surgery on Eri, but she didn't develop a second personality. I don't know if this counts as a failure." Lu Mingfei shook his head. "But Herzog was able to control Eri through the sound of the clappers. However, Eri's behavior was different from that of Minamoto no Chitose. When Minamoto no Chitose heard the clappers, her other personality, Kazama Ruri, would awaken, while Eri would go berserk and run away uncontrollably."

"Runaway?" Caesar's expression changed instantly.

"Yes, run away." Lu Mingfei nodded solemnly.

"Eryi's 'Word Spirit: Judgment' is too destructive. If it gets out of control, not only will the people and buildings around her be destroyed, but Eryi's body won't be able to withstand the full power of 'Judgment'," Lu Mingfei said in a deep voice. "If 'Judgment' is released a few more times, Eryi's body and will may be on the verge of collapse."

Everyone's faces looked ugly. Uesugi Yue and Minamoto Chisei were burning with anger, while Caesar and Chu Zihang were worried. Caesar had witnessed Eiry's actions with his own eyes, and he knew very well how terrifying Eiry's strength was. She could deal with hundreds of corpse guards in an instant. If this girl went berserk... the entire Tokyo and the surrounding cities would suffer!

"If the recovery surgery doesn't work, are there other methods that won't work?" Sakura, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

"What I mean is, I can secretly ask the people at Ganliu Research Institute. I won't tell them about Ms. Eri and Mr. Minamoto no Chijo, nor will I mention the pontine splitting surgery. I'll just ask them to help create a pair of fully enclosed earplugs that can completely block out sound." Sakura offered her idea. "As long as we block out that strange clapper sound, can Ms. Eri and Mr. Minamoto no Chijo be free from the King's control?"

"That's very difficult to achieve." Lu Mingfei shook his head and raised a finger. "Eri and Genjiro's bloodlines are too strong. Their hearing is far more acute than that of ordinary people. Current technology is already at its limit in creating fully enclosed earplugs that can block the hearing of ordinary people. It's almost impossible for super-hybrids like Eri and Genjiro to completely block the hearing with external equipment... That's the first point."

"Secondly... even if the Ganliu Research Institute could actually create closed-end earplugs that could block out external sounds for Eri and Genji, couldn't Herzog himself have thought of that?" Lu Mingfei raised a second finger and whispered, "Let's not even talk about whether it would be too late to put on fully closed-end earplugs if a fight actually started and the clappers had already struck. Even if we did, how could we guarantee the stability of such a precision instrument? Any slight mistake could be fatal to a battle and could lead to unimaginable consequences. Furthermore, sound isn't just transmitted through the air. If Herzog got close to Eri and Genji and used bone conduction to let them hear the clappers, they'd still be manipulated."

"Is there nothing we can do?" Genji asked gravely, "Are we just going to let Jijou and Eri be controlled by Herzog?"

One is the younger brother who was lost and found again after ten years, and the other is the younger sister who finally knows her identity. Both of them were transformed by Herzog into puppets who cannot control themselves. Gen Chisheng's hatred for Herzog is definitely no less than that of Uesugi Yue.

"There's another way," Lu Mingfei said. "But this method is something I came up with myself. I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know if it works. But it's true that this method is quite bloody and cruel. If you want to break free from control, you must be cruel to yourself."

"You little brat, if you have any ideas, just tell me directly. Why are you still keeping me in suspense?" Uesugi Yue couldn't help but give Lu Mingfei a chestnut on the back of his head.

"The solution is to cut off the auditory nerve." Lu Mingfei rubbed the back of his head. Uesugi Yue, that old man, was incredibly strong, and his head was burning with pain. "No matter what, the clapper sound still transmits information to the brain by affecting the hearing. So, blocking all sounds at the source is the key. The moment you hear the clapper sound, don't hesitate to quickly cut off your auditory nerve. That way, neither airborne transmission nor bone conduction will be able to transmit information through the nerves to the brain, and Herzog's control will naturally fail."

It's too cruel, really too cruel. Cutting off one's auditory nerves before the battle is simply not something a normal person can think of... Caesar secretly cursed him as a pervert, and Gen Chisei also looked at him sideways, and even Yabuki Sakura, who was a ninja, was slightly surprised.

"Hey, hey, hey, do you mean to make Eri and Chigyou deaf in order to get rid of that guy Herzog's control?" Uesugi Yue glared at Lu Mingfei with dissatisfaction.

"Of course not. Eri and Genjiro's bloodlines are both very powerful, and their self-healing abilities are also remarkable. Only a small part of their nerves have been damaged, so it's only a matter of time for them to recover." Lu Mingfei said, "If they can't heal themselves, I have ways to help them. Master Yue, don't worry about that. I would never murder my friends."

"But how do you sever the auditory nerve automatically?" Chu Zihang frowned slightly. "The human nerves are densely packed in the brain. If you accidentally damage other surrounding nerves, even basic bodily functions will be affected. If the severance isn't complete, any remaining hearing will be controlled. Being able to affect only the auditory nerve requires the same precision as a delicate surgical operation. This can't be controlled manually in combat, right?"

"That depends on the Yanliu Research Institute." Lu Mingfei looked at Ying. "I wonder if the research institute has the technology to create a sophisticated instrument that can instantly cut off the auditory nerve without affecting other nervous systems."

"I'm afraid it's difficult. Everyone's nervous system is structured differently." Sakura shook her head. "Unless Ms. Eri and Mr. Minamoto can come to the Ganliu Research Institute in person to record their brain information, perhaps Director Miyamoto can create equipment adapted for different individuals. But this operation will be difficult to carry out without Herzog's knowledge. He may have spies at the Ganliu Research Institute."

Lu Mingfei also frowned. He had thought of a solution a long time ago, but he was not a professional neurologist after all, so he didn't expect it to be so troublesome to implement.

"What if we just paralyze the nerves?" Chu Zihang suddenly asked, "Using electric current to paralyze the auditory nerves and temporarily disable the auditory system would be easier to operate than completely blocking the auditory nerves?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then punched Chu Zihang on the shoulder: "Brother, you are a fucking genius!"

"This method does sound more reliable, but I'm not sure how feasible it is." Ying also agreed more with Chu Zihang's idea. "After returning to Genji Heavy Industries, I will secretly go to the Ganliu Research Institute to consult Director Miyamoto's opinion."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Miss Sakura." Lu Mingfei nodded to Yabuki Sakura. "If Director Miyamoto really has a way to make a portable device that can temporarily paralyze the auditory nerve, please ask him for help. If we don't consider the issue of backup devices, we will need at least three."

"Three?" Sakura was stunned. She looked at Eri and Genjiro, "Why three?"

"Ying." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head at Ying, "Don't ask anymore. Just do as Lu Mingfei says."
