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

"I mean, we can be friends again." Lu Mingfei said to Renata, "You are the first person to come to see me."

Renata looked at Lu Mingfei, a hopeful light gradually gleaming in her eyes. Renata said to Lu Mingfei, "You said the same thing when we first met. You said I was the first person to discover you because we are both special."

Special? Lu Mingfei didn't remember saying this, but he suddenly thought of another question. Lu Mingfei asked Renata, "By the way, Renata, how did you get in? Wasn't the door locked? Did you steal the key from the head nurse to open it?"

"No, the door lock is hanging on the door. Just turn it and it will open." Renata showed Lu Mingfei her palm, which contained the heavy lock. "I dare not go to the head nurse to steal the key. If I were discovered, I would be put in a straitjacket all day and all night, and they would also confiscate my 'Zorro'!"

"'Zorro'?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"'Zorro' is a bear, and he's also my friend." Renata nodded. She took out a teddy bear made of cloth from her clothes, held it in her arms and showed it to Lu Mingfei. "I brought 'Zorro' with me last time, but I didn't bring him the first time because I didn't know if you were a bad guy at that time..."

"Have we met more than once?" Lu Mingfei caught the key words in Renata's words.

"We've met twice." Renata nodded. "I came the night before last and the night before that. You told me that if I had time in the evening, I would come to see you, and you would insist on staying up all night to wait for me. You were different back then than you are now."

"What about yesterday?" Lu Mingfei asked, "Why didn't you come last night?"

"The head nurse locked my door yesterday because I wet the bed," Renata said, looking a little aggrieved. "I begged her to open the door for me, but she said if I wet the bed again I wouldn't be able to have breakfast the next day. I was so anxious that I couldn't open the door. I cried all night."

"Last night... what did we talk about before?" Lu Mingfei looked at Renata. "I mean, I can't remember clearly what we talked about the day before yesterday and the night before yesterday when you came to see me."

"I came in by accident on the first night. I woke up at night and heard someone calling my name. I saw the door lock shaking, and when I approached, the lock fell off. I was afraid of disturbing the nurses, so I rushed over to catch the lock and accidentally bumped into it." Renata recounted the scene of their first meeting. "The nurses said that there was a demon in Ward Zero. At that time, I thought you were a bad person because you were wearing a straitjacket and were tied up tightly. You must be very unsafe to be tied up... But I also felt a little sorry for you."

"Because I'm different from you?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Being tied up like this must be very uncomfortable. I wore a straitjacket and felt suffocated after just one hour. If I were to be tied up like this forever..." Fear flashed across Renata's eyes. "Oh my God, I can't even imagine it!"

"Maybe I'm used to it." Lu Mingfei didn't feel anything. He looked at his tightly bound body, his eyes filled with emptiness.

"That's not what you told me back then. You said you'd waited a long time, and finally someone came looking for you. You even said since we were so destined to meet, why not just be friends?" Renata said, "You said friends should share secrets. I've already told you mine, and the secret you shared with me was strange... You said you actually didn't know who you were."

Lu Mingfei was stunned. What Renata said was true. He really didn't know what he was. Probably no one in this Siberian port, or even in the entire world, could answer this question... But Lu Mingfei didn't know why he told Renata such a thing. Could this even be considered a secret?

"You said you've never looked in the mirror, and you've never seen what you look like. If a person doesn't even know what they are, then they know nothing about themselves," Renata said to Lu Mingfei. "I thought your words were strange at the time, but then you kicked me out and told me to go back to my room and sleep. I thought you were angry, but you told me to find an opportunity to come see you every day when I have time."

"If a person doesn't even know what he is, then he knows nothing about himself..." Lu Mingfei was stunned and repeated in his mouth.

He didn't remember saying such words, and such words didn't sound like they came from his mouth. Lu Mingfei didn't have such feelings at all, but Renata insisted that he said these words... An incredible thought suddenly flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind, as if someone had told Renata these words through his mouth, and asked Renata to repeat these words to Lu Mingfei.

But this was too unbelievable. Who would say such a thing through his mouth? If someone really said that, what message did he want to convey to Lu Mingfei?

Lu Mingfei didn't know, he felt like he had lost something important... Maybe it was something he had overlooked, or maybe it was hidden in his forgotten memories. When he thought of this, Lu Mingfei's brain felt like it was about to split apart.

"Are you okay?" Renata looked at the breathless Lu Mingfei and asked with concern.

"It's okay." Lu Mingfei took a few deep breaths to catch his breath, and then he said to Renata, "Continue talking."

"Are you really okay?" Renata asked. Lu Mingfei nodded, and Renata continued, "When we met for the second time the night before last, you were very happy. You said you hadn't misjudged me, that you knew I was a trustworthy person. You said that's how friends should be, never betraying, never abandoning. I don't know if that's how friends are, but seeing you so happy made me feel better too."

"So that's why you were so anxious because your door was locked last night?" Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that Renata said she cried all night.

"Yes, the head nurse refused to open the door no matter how much I begged her. She kept scolding me." Renata nodded. "I thought you'd wait for me all night. You must be very angry and lonely. Maybe you think I didn't keep my promise. I don't know if you would still consider me a friend."

"That's not your problem." Lu Mingfei shook his head at Renata. "What did we talk about the night before last?"

"You told me something very important the night before last. You said you lost two things," said Renata.

"Two things? I told you so?" Lu Mingfei was stunned. "What did I lose?"

"I don't know. You said you forgot, you don't remember what you lost, but you said these two things are very important to you, and you must find them." Renata imitated the tone of Lu Mingfei in her memory, "If these two things are not found on the night of the full moon, something irreversible will happen."

"A full-moon night?" Lu Mingfei asked subconsciously, "What day is it today?"

"The clock has turned, and today is the 8th of this month." Renata replied to Lu Mingfei.

The 8th...the 15th is the day of the full moon, there are still seven days.

Lu Mingfei didn't know what it meant when he told Renata that he had lost two things. He didn't know what the two things were, and he didn't even remember saying them. But he subconsciously felt that if he hadn't found the two lost things by the full moon, perhaps something irreversible would really happen!

"You said you don't remember what you lost, but you still remember a little clue..." Renata was interrupted before she could finish her words.

She was interrupted by a series of shrill sounds. These were the alarms in the building, which suddenly sounded at this moment for some reason. The red police lights outside the window flashed non-stop, illuminating the white curtains with the color of blood. The soldiers stationed on the ice field blew loud bugles.

Renata's face turned pale in an instant. At the end of the corridor outside the door, she heard cursing in Russian and the "tapping" sound of high heels on the ground. Renata knew that the nurses came out of the duty room at the end of the corridor. They would definitely check the rooms in the corridor one by one. They blocked the corridor, and Zero didn't dare to go out at all, because Ward Zero was an absolute forbidden area. No children were allowed to enter or even approach it.

If those fierce women found out that Renata had sneaked into Ward Zero, they would definitely stuff the electric baton into her mouth.

Chapter 680 Contract

Renata never dared to provoke those fierce Russian women. They would not show mercy to children, whether they were boys or girls. As long as they did not beat the children to death, they would do anything.

The duty room is at the other end of the corridor, hundreds of meters away from Ward Zero at the end of the corridor. Although no one knows why the alarm suddenly sounded, such a loud alarm will wake up the children. The nurses may check each room along the corridor in turn. Who knows when they will find Ward Zero... maybe ten minutes later, maybe the next moment.

But no matter what, Renata was trapped in this room and she couldn't escape. Renata was so anxious that she wanted to cry.

"Did you hear any sound?" Lu Mingfei asked Renata on the iron bed, his brows furrowed little by little.

"I heard it... It was very loud... The alarm was going off..." Renata's face turned pale. "What should I do... What should I do... I'm going to be discovered... I'm going to be discovered..."

"I'm not talking about the alarm sound, but a sound hidden within the alarm sound." Lu Mingfei's head began to feel slightly dizzy, and his consciousness gradually became blurred. "It's like someone... is knocking on something?"

Lu Mingfei felt that this sound was getting louder and louder in his mind, as if someone was knocking a pair of crisp wooden clappers next to his ears. The strange sound gradually became louder and even drowned out the shrill sound of the police sirens. Lu Mingfei's consciousness became more and more chaotic in the sound of the clappers, and he felt that he was about to fall asleep, or even pass out.

"I didn't hear anything... I didn't hear any knocking..." Ling only heard the alarm bells. She said desperately, "What should I do... What should I do... They will beat me to death..."

The blinding red light in the corridor made people's adrenaline surge, and the increasingly rapid sound of the alarm sounded like a death curse. Iron fences were placed outside all the rooms, and all the entrances and exits on the entire floor were sealed. Only people with passwords and voiceprints could open them. Infrared detectors scanned the entire corridor. With the defense system on full alert, even a fly would find it difficult to cross this long corridor... although there were no such annoying things as flies in the Far North.

Renata knew she couldn't hide. She had violated the rules here and entered Ward Zero. She knew she would face severe punishment, but she didn't know how the nurses would punish her. Maybe they would make her wear a straitjacket for three days and three nights, or they would cancel her dinner for a month so that she would have to go to bed hungry every night, or even they might deprive her of the right to leave the room forever... The unknown things that were about to come were the most terrifying. Renata trembled with fear at the thought of this.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." A voice, overpowering the sirens, said to Renata, "We are good friends, and good friends should help each other."

Renata turned around in surprise and saw a familiar smiling face... It was Lu Mingfei smiling at her, but it was not the Lu Mingfei of today. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Renata felt that the boy had turned into the same person he was when they first met a few days ago. At that time, he always looked at her with such puppy-like eyes.

"Do you remember?" Renata asked the boy in front of her tentatively.

"Remember what? I've never forgotten anything." The boy smiled. "You're my friend. How could I forget my only friend?"

"But you just said you forgot everything..." Renata still hadn't recovered from her shock.

"Oh, that was my brother just now." The boy rolled his eyes and said to Renata, "I'm the one who made friends with you. My brother doesn't know this."

Brother? Renata couldn't understand what the boy meant. She was the only one of the children in the building who hadn't undergone pontine schisis surgery, so she couldn't hear the clappers hidden in the alarm bells, nor did she realize how two completely unrelated consciousnesses could exist in one body. But these were not what Renata should care about now.

"I'll be discovered, and I don't know how to explain it to them." Renata looked at the boy. "I can't escape anymore."

Renata was already frightened by the alarm and the noise outside the door. She heard the irritable nurses banging on the iron doors with batons, yelling and warning the children inside to behave themselves, otherwise they would be severely punished. Every time the nurses checked a room, the children inside would respond loudly with a "Here". They would soon discover that Renata was missing, and then find her in Ward Zero.

The boy in front of Renata said he wanted to help her, but he was losing his memory, then claiming it was his brother who was communicating with her. Renata didn't know how to believe him. Furthermore, his limbs, and even his entire body, were bound to the hard iron bed by a straitjacket and dozens of leather straps. A mask covered his face, making it difficult for him to even turn his head. What could he do in such a state? How could he even talk about helping her?

Perhaps noticing Renata's hesitation, the boy laughed even more. He repeated once more, "I can help you. You can't escape by yourself. I'm the only one who can help you right now."

Renata looked into the boy's eyes, and the boy's eyes also changed at this time. From the confused and slightly empty eyes when he was talking to her just now, it turned into convincing confidence. The boy was smiling very seriously, and his smile carried an unquestionable and irrefutable meaning, as if he held the power to change anything in the world.

"How are you going to help me..." Perhaps intimidated by the boy's aura, Renata actually tried to ask, "You're still tied up..."

"You can help me," the boy said as a matter of course. "Good friends should help each other. Good friends should trust each other, right? You help me now, and I will help you later."

Larenata looked at the boy's hands, feet and torso, which were tightly bound by layers of cowhide straps. She was entangled... The boy must be something very dangerous, otherwise every time the nurse mentioned that the boy was locked up in Ward Zero, The boy would not always have an expression of disgust, fear or even secrecy, but Renata subconsciously felt that the boy would not hurt her.

This feeling was very mysterious. It was obvious that they had not had much contact, and Renata and the boy had only met three times today, but Renata had an instinctive trust in the boy... The key was that if she didn't untie the boy, she couldn't get out of Ward Zero, and she was about to be caught.

"Room 38 is empty! The child inside is missing!"

"Renata! The child in room 38 is Renata! Renata is not in the room!"

"Damn it, it's that unpleasant little girl again! I caught her wetting the bed again last night, so I put her in detention. Today she ran away again. This crazy girl is such a nuisance! I begged the doctor to perform surgery on her, but he refused. How could the doctor like such a bad, trouble-making kid so much!"

"Shh, don't talk bad about the doctor behind his back. Let's find Renata quickly, otherwise the doctor will be angry!"

"Where could that crazy girl be? I don't see her anywhere!"

"Isn't Renata going to the restricted area...I mean, Ward Zero?"

There were noisy discussions and the sound of heels tapping in the corridor. These sounds were approaching from the other end of the corridor towards the end. The nurses were approaching Ward Zero in groups. They searched all the rooms. , all the children were safe and sound, but they just didn't find Renata, so they suspected that Renata was hiding in Ward Zero at the end of the corridor where no one dared to approach.

There was no time left, as Renata had already reached the boy's side, but she was still hesitant in helping him untie the straps and straitjacket.

"You're such a slow-paced girl. Boys don't like girls like you." The boy shook his head, sighed slightly, and said to Renata in a tone that was both complaining and gentle, "I hope you grow up to be a brave, decisive, and resolute girl."

Before Renata could react, the boy suddenly raised his head. His eyes and aura changed, and the tone of his voice when he spoke to Renata also changed.

"Woman, in my name, I command you to serve at the throne's right or left. You will be my spear and my shield. By this contract, I grant you the promise of immortality," the boy said word by word.

This is neither Chinese nor Russian, but an ancient language so ancient that there is no record of it in books. Every word and every character uttered by the boy is mixed with a thick nasal tone, just like an ancient emperor issuing the most strict decree to his most loyal minister on the throne.

At the same time, the boy's eyes turned into a solemn dark gold, as if two candles made of ancient oil were lit. The whole room was filled with ancient golden color. When Renata saw such a look, she seemed to be inspired by something. Her originally light blue eyes also turned golden, and Renata's consciousness began to blur and sink.

Renata felt like she was immersed in a sticky whirlpool. She couldn't get out, and the feeling of being almost drowned made her suffocate and desperate. At this time, a familiar voice sounded in Renata's ears, as if calling her, and as if saving her. Renata felt her body being lifted up by a gentle force, as if she had just received a baptism of rebirth.

Renata knelt down beside the boy's iron bed, like a believer paying homage to God. Such a small girl, who knew where she got the strength from, actually used brute force to break the cowhide straps and released the boy from the straitjacket.

Renata looked at the boy who had regained his freedom. She felt like she had opened the cage of some wild beast. A majestic and solemn aura of the ancient times hit her in the face. The boy's mouth curled up into an evil smile. He pinched Renata's shoulders with his freed hands and ravaged her wantonly, leaving red and dark blue marks on Renata's skin as white as mutton fat.

Perhaps this was not enough to satisfy him, so the boy lifted Renata up as if he wanted to sacrifice her to a god. He threw Renata on the iron bed and looked at her like a jackal or tiger looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.

The boy stroked Renata's thigh with one hand. His action was definitely not gentle, but extremely violent. He was completely different from when he was trapped on the iron bed with a straitjacket. His other hand pinched Renata's neck, and his fingers were so strong that they left five red fingerprints on the girl's slender swan neck. Renata's face turned as red as liver.

Even that was not over. The boy seemed to be enjoying it very much. He put his lips close to Renata's cheek, stuck out his tongue to lick Renata's ears and chin, and then bit Renata's lips hard. Bright red blood dripped along Renata's frightened pale lips onto her clothes.

"If you want to be my girl, you must be prepared to give me everything, understand?" The boy whispered viciously in Renata's ear, "Remember the two things I told you I couldn't find? I'll give you another clue now. A German... Help me find those two things and give them to my brother before the full moon, otherwise everything will be irreversible!"

A German. Renata had no time to think about this strange clue. Her mind was in a mess and tears silently dripped from the corners of her eyes down her cheeks.

Was this something worth enjoying? Renata didn't know. She was just terrified. She didn't know what the boy was going to do to her body. It looked more like he was going to eat her.

Renata didn't even have time to regret letting the boy out of the straitjacket. She had forgotten the brute force she had used to pry open the cowhide straps for the boy. She might have easily pushed the boy away. Renata had no intention of resisting and could only endure it silently while trembling.

With a loud bang, the door of Ward Zero was kicked open and the nurses poured into the room.

"Get away! Get Renata off the bed!"

"Separate Renata from that lunatic. She's being violated. If the doctor finds out, he'll be furious!"

"Sedatives! Where are the sedatives and hallucinogens? Use three times the usual dose... no, use five times the usual dose!"

The nurses separated Renata and the boy. The head nurse kicked the boy and Renata's faces with her sharp heels. She stuffed the electric baton into the boy's mouth. Another nurse cooperated tacitly and put a straitjacket on the boy.

Chapter 681 Lu Mingfei and the Boy

"You lunatic, you lunatic!" The nurse put a straitjacket on the boy while cursing him loudly, "What do you want to do? What do you want to do? Do you know that if Renata is violated by you here, we will be punished by the doctor!"

"Who knows who seduced who first!" The head nurse slapped Renata in the face. The fierce Russian woman slapped Renata so hard that she saw stars. "This little bitch has been wetting the bed frequently lately. I guess she's having her first period. I think she might be thinking about sex at night and running to a man's room, fantasizing about having sex with him. If she gets violated by this lunatic, it's her own fault. Maybe she even enjoys it!"

Renata's face flushed red, and she tried hard not to cry out loud. She didn't dare to refute the head nurse at this time, because Renata knew that if she burst into tears or defended herself at this time, she would most likely be beaten by the nurses... These old women were so arrogant and authoritarian. In this remote and desolate far north, except for the numbered children, they thought they were the bottom of the society. They could not meet their own physical needs, and they had been suppressing their temper, so whenever they had the chance, they would vent their negative emotions on the children who were more vulnerable to bullying.

Seeing the head nurse's ferocious behavior towards Renata, the boy was like an enraged beast. He let out a low roar and struggled frantically in the straitjacket. He hit his head against the corner of the iron bed, and blood dripped from his forehead onto the broken leather straps.

"Damn it, Zero is crazy!" The female nurse who put the straitjacket on the boy screamed. The boy was so strong that she felt like she was subduing a mad bull.

"Hurry up, give me the sedative!" The head nurse snatched the sedative from her subordinate's hand.

This Soviet woman was extremely powerful. She used her sharp heels to press the boy down on the iron bed, and holding high the syringe filled with sedatives, the head nurse thrust the thick needle into the vein in the boy's neck with the force of a sledgehammer.

The compressed air pushed a whole tube of sedative into the boy's vein. This was dozens of times more sedative than a normal person's. Even a ferocious cheetah would become docile. Sure enough, the boy stopped resisting and struggling. He lay quietly on the iron bed in a straitjacket, like a trapped beast in shackles.

"Give me the hallucinogen as well." The head nurse was still worried and asked her subordinates for the hallucinogen.

She pushed the hallucinogen into the same position on the boy's neck. This hallucinogen was developed by the "Doctor" they called it. The effect was so amazing that it could almost erase a person's consciousness temporarily. Only children with extremely bad natures or soldiers who had committed irreparable mistakes would be ordered by the doctor to be injected with this hallucinogen as punishment... This hallucinogen also has another name - "Mimmir's Poison", which means a poison that can control the human mind.

So even though the doctor usually behaved like a very cultured and polite gentleman in front of everyone, it did not prevent these nurses from feeling a deep-seated fear of the "doctor".

As the hallucinogen was pushed into the boy's neck meridians, the boy's eyes gradually became dazed and empty. He lay quietly on the iron bed, allowing the nurses to tie his hands and feet again, like a body that had lost its soul.

"Does Renata need a sedative?" the nurse holding the sedative asked the head nurse. "She was nearly assaulted by a lunatic just now. She's probably in a state of extreme panic right now. I wonder if she'll do something out of fear later."

"She doesn't need to. Can't you see she's feigning innocence? This little girl has some excellent acting skills." The head nurse glanced at Renata coldly. "Assaulted? Who initiated it is still unclear. Otherwise, why would this little bitch run into Ward Zero so late at night? She'd only risk violating the rules when she was so lonely she couldn't bear it anymore. If this little bitch dares to do anything extreme again, my slap will be enough to deal with her!"

Renata's expression was dull, and it was unclear whether she had not yet recovered from the violent assault by the boy, or was frightened by the head nurse's fierce and arrogant tone.

"The straps are broken," the nurse in charge of putting the boy in the straitjacket said to the head nurse, holding several broken pieces of leather straps. "How could that happen? We've been keeping a close eye on Zero. Could it be that the leather has aged and the straps haven't been changed in so long, and Zero has worn them down bit by bit?"

The head nurse took the bandage from her staff and, after examining it carefully, declared, "It's not worn out. The bandage itself has been stretched quite a bit, and the ends are very irregular. It looks like someone tore it apart with brute force."

"But... this is cowhide, top-grain leather. We check on Zero every night, and he was still tied up tightly before nightfall today," the nurse exclaimed. "To forcibly tear the leather straps while he's bound would require him to be stronger than a bull!"

"Is it possible that Renata helped him?" another nurse raised a suspicion.

"Impossible! Renata hasn't even performed a pontine schismatic surgery. This little bitch doesn't have the ability to do that." The head nurse squinted at Renata and instructed the others, "Change the iron ropes and firmly restrain Zero to his bed. Change the check-up frequency to twice a day. Zero is a lunatic, but he's also our important experimental material. If anything happens to him, or he runs away, the Doctor won't let us go!"

Two nurses hurried away to the duty room to retrieve the iron chains. Another nurse asked the head nurse, "What will be Renata's punishment? Will she be put in a straitjacket? Or will she be punished by not having dinner for a week?"

The head nurse looked down at the girl who was born in the same country as her, with a look like a warden examining a disobedient prisoner. Renata hung her head and dared not meet the head nurse's eyes. She didn't know what kind of punishment she would receive, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

In the end, whether it was because the head nurse's conscience had changed, or because Renata was acting too pitiful or obedient, the head nurse simply said, "Don't make a big deal out of this, or the Doctor will be angry. Put Renata in solitary confinement for three days."
