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

"Don't talk nonsense to me! Even though we all call you a little lunatic, no one would actually go crazy and hurt themselves like that!" The head nurse yelled at Lu Mingfei, "Your logic is so clear now, and you're not crazy, so why would you bang your brain against the iron bed!"

"Don't you believe it?" Lu Mingfei glanced at the head nurse coldly, his voice also cold, "Then will you believe it?"

As soon as Lu Mingfei finished speaking, he suddenly struggled violently. No one could have imagined that this boy bound by a straitjacket and iron chains could actually burst out with such great strength. Lu Mingfei threw the nurses who were holding his arms and head aside, then raised his head with all his strength and slammed it against the edge of the iron bed.

Intense pain and dizziness hit him, and bright red blood slowly flowed down Lu Mingfei's forehead, blurring his vision. Lu Mingfei raised his head again, looked at the head nurse coldly, and repeated the question: "Now... should I believe it now?"

The head nurse and other nurses were stunned by the boy's crazy and extreme behavior. They simply couldn't understand why someone would be so eager to prove that he was a lunatic, and why someone would bang his head against an iron bed to prove that he was a lunatic?

"Are you crazy? You're really crazy! You're a complete lunatic!" The head nurse yelled at Lu Mingfei, "Are you unstable again? You're banging your head against the bed just for a bad girl! You two are really the same, one crazy and the other mean!"

"That's why I said this has nothing to do with Renata." Lu Mingfei looked at Renata, who was chained to the ground and shivering. "Let her go back to her room. I have something important to discuss with you two alone."

"You have something to discuss with us?" the head nurse raised her eyebrows. "You know what? 'Doctor' has always forbidden us from communicating with you too much. Do you think we normal people have anything to discuss with a madman?"

"And there's no way Renata can go unpunished," a nurse chimed in. "She just finished her punishment and is still on probation, yet she actually dared to break the rules and sneak into Ward Zero!"

Chapter 686-Awakening

"Don't try to divert our attention. Renata will not escape!" The head nurse said to Lu Mingfei in a tone that left no room for rebuttal or doubt. "Whether you are truly crazy or pretending to be crazy, Renata is a bad girl who does not deserve forgiveness. She has repeatedly broken the rules here and sneaked into Ward Zero. I will definitely ask the Doctor to give her the most severe punishment!"

"It wasn't Renata who sneaked into Ward Zero. I did that, too." Lu Mingfei looked at the head nurse and said, "I lured Renata in."

"You're trying to seduce Renata?" The head nurse looked up and down at Lu Mingfei, who was tied to the iron bed. The Russian woman's thick, pale yellow eyebrows knitted together tightly. "Do you take me for a fool? You said you hit your forehead and it was a self-inflicted injury, and I barely believed you. But you're tied to the bed, unable to get out and even moving. How are you going to seduce Renata?"

"Don't you believe it?" Lu Mingfei raised his eyelids and looked at the head nurse.

The head nurse instinctively took a half step back, and she couldn't help but feel alert. After Lu Mingfei looked at her with such eyes just now, he immediately acted like a madman the next moment, banging his head against the iron edge of the bed to prove that it was true. He hurt himself, and now he is saying the same words and looking at himself with the same eyes... Although the boy is tied firmly to the bed, God knows what he will do if he goes crazy. His eyes were as frightening as a lonely wild wolf in the snow of the far north.

"How do you want to prove it?" the head nurse asked Lu Mingfei warily, "Can you still get up from the bed?"

"Don't you find it strange?" Lu Mingfei asked the nurses. "The key to the door and the spare key are clearly with you, yet the lock keeps opening. Do you think Renata has that ability?"

Lu Mingfei's words stunned the nurses. The women looked at each other, with questions and confusion in their eyes. Finally, they all looked at the head nurse who had the key to Ward Zero.

The head nurse's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye. She had no way to answer Lu Mingfei's question. Three days ago, when Renata opened Ward Zero, the head nurse felt something strange. She had always carried the key with her. There were no signs of intrusion in the duty room, and the spare key had been kept in its original position. Afterwards, the head nurse asked "Doctor" and found that the key in "Doctor's" room had been kept intact, and the hard and heavy lock had not been damaged at all. The traces of damage looked like they had been opened normally by the key.

This thing was too weird, but after listening to the head nurse's report, the "doctor" thought for a while and said nothing more. He just ordered the head nurse to replace the door of Ward Zero with the latest developed and highest safety iris. The password for the mechanical lock is only owned by the "Doctor" himself and the head nurse, and only the two of them are qualified to open the door of Ward Zero.

But today Renata came in again. When she saw the scene in Ward Zero just now, the head nurse was so angry that she didn't even have time to think about how Renata could open the door of Ward Zero.

The head nurse turned back and walked to the door of Ward Zero. She checked the replaced iris mechanical lock and put her eyeball on it. The complex lock core popped open after making several crisp "click" sounds.

The door lock was intact, not damaged or stolen, so why was the door open? And why did Renata appear in the room... twice. This strange situation has happened twice!

Like a ghost in a building at a polar harbor, all the physical walls of the world are meaningless to it... But are there really ghosts in this world? If so, is this ghost Renata... or Zero?

Fear spread among the nurses, and finally the head nurse shouted decisively, "Don't be afraid of him!"

"Don't play tricks here!" The head nurse glared at Lu Mingfei. "What method...what trick did you use?"

"I said, send Renata back to her room first, and then let the 'Doctor' talk to me in person." Lu Mingfei also kept looking at the head nurse, his eyes not giving in.

"What qualifications do you have...what qualifications do you have to make such a request of me!" the head nurse yelled at Lu Mingfei, "You are just one of our test subjects, and one that is almost worn out. How important do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to talk to the 'Doctor' on an equal footing?"

After hearing what the head nurse said, Lu Mingfei became more certain of his previous guess. There were nearly forty children in this building. Each of them had a number, and they were all test subjects for some kind of experiment. Renata's number was thirty-eight, so she was the thirty-eighth test subject.

Lu Mingfei himself is Number Zero, and his number is not even among the thirty-eight children. This shows that he is the most special test subject in this building, and he has an extraordinary meaning to the "Doctor"... At the same time, this also shows that the "Doctor" must want to get something from him. If he wants to find back the lost things that Number Zero said, he must meet the "Doctor" before he has a chance!

"'Doctor' is a German, right?" Lu Mingfei said suddenly.

The head nurse was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly. She didn't know whether it was because she felt puzzled by Lu Mingfei's sudden words, or because she was surprised that Lu Mingfei knew that the "Doctor" was German.

"What do you want to say? Even if 'Doctor' is German, so what? It's not even a secret." The middle-aged Russian woman was also confused by Lu Mingfei's mixed words. "Are you trying to stir up a nationality dispute between us and 'Doctor'? Don't even think about it. The war is over long ago. 'Doctor' is now a member of the Soviet government. We are already firm comrades... For the glorious Soviet Union!"

Lu Mingfei got the answer he wanted. He had already determined the current situation and what he had to do... No matter what, he had to meet the "Doctor" before the full moon night. This was the only way to get back what he had lost, no matter what method he used!

"I don't want to alienate you. Didn't you say it yourself? I've been locked up here the whole time, and I have no idea about your political relationship." While Lu Mingfei was using words to negotiate with the head nurse, he was frantically thinking of a strategy to get the other party to bring the "Doctor" to him.

"Yeah... damn it, I was fooled by a lunatic." The head nurse cursed belatedly. She glared at Lu Mingfei fiercely and said to the nurses around her, "Don't be fooled by this lunatic. Ignore what he says. Give him two more injections of sedatives and hallucinogens. Let him fall asleep and he'll be quiet."

"What about this door?" The nurse was clearly still upset about Ward Zero's door being inexplicably opened. "If we don't get to the bottom of this, won't anyone be able to break into Ward Zero? If the Doctor finds out, will he blame us?"

"I'm going to take care of this now." The head nurse glanced at the other nurses before finally settling on Renata. "Zero is the Doctor's most valuable resource. Even if he's nearly worn out, we can't treat him carelessly. Besides, I don't think we can get anything out of that lunatic... but Renata is different."

The head nurse looked at Renata as if she were an animal. "Our bad girl should know something, right? We can find out from Renata. She's not as important to the Doctor as Zero. She's just a little flower for the Doctor, an object of appreciation. As long as we don't break this little flower, the Doctor won't hold us responsible."

Except for a nurse who stayed by Lu Mingfei's side to give him an injection and hold him down, the other nurses surrounded Renata like ferocious jackals surrounding a petite white rabbit.

The white rabbit trembled in fear surrounded by the beasts, but it was its delicate, helpless and pitiful appearance that aroused the bloodthirsty nature of the jackals... The nurses reached out to Renata's body. Some of them tore Renata's loose clothes, some grabbed Renata's slender ankles, and some pulled Renata's long golden braids.

The girl didn't dare to scream in front of these brutal nurses, because Renata was very smart. She knew that these nurses who had stayed on the isolated polar island for many years had become mentally ill. No one would pity her if she shouted, and it would only make the nurses more excited or even angry, and then she would be treated more brutally.

Renata bit her lips hard to suppress the fear in her heart. Bright red blood slid down her pale lips. Renata's eyes passed through the legs in flesh-colored stockings and white skirts, looking at the boy on the iron bed... Lu Mingfei's words that he would protect her flashed through her mind, but at this moment, what Renata remembered more was the way the boy violated her three days ago.

In despair, Renata hoped so much that Zero's consciousness would wake up from that body again, and that the boy could break through the heavy and hard chains like a knight, push away the women who scared her to death, and come to her side... Even if he really wanted to do something to her at that time, even violate her, she would be willing.

She was willing to give everything for the boy as long as he would never abandon her as he promised.

Lu Mingfei knew what the nurses were doing to Renata, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, but he was powerless at the moment. The needle of the hallucinogen had already been inserted into the vein in his neck. He could feel the liquid rushing through his blood vessels, and his body was becoming weaker and weaker... Lu Mingfei's mouth was also covered with a cloth by the nurse, and he couldn't even loudly warn the nurses to leave Renata.

Lu Mingfei's will slowly sank, but this time he could clearly feel that another consciousness was awakening from his mind, just like the ancient emperor opening his eyes on his throne. Lu Mingfei seemed to hear the sound of ancient drums and ancient chants... Lu Mingfei could feel that it was just a broken consciousness, but when it awakened, it revealed an inviolable supreme majesty.

The golden pupils slowly opened. The nurse who was giving Lu Mingfei an injection and covering his mouth was frozen in place and unable to move when she saw this majestic gaze... Even though this gaze was not looking at them at all, nor did it linger on them at all, anyone who saw this pair of eyes would definitely feel a tremor at the soul level, as if they had seen an ancient real dragon.

It seemed as if Renata's inner cry was sensed. The boy on the iron bed slowly turned his head, his eyes passing through the nurses, looking at Renata who was surrounded in the center.

The two gazes met silently in mid-air, and this meeting seemed to last for thousands of years. Renata felt that her heart, her thoughts, and even her soul were all seen through. The boy looked at her expressionlessly, and seemed to be smiling at her, his lips slowly opening and closing.

"stand up."

A voice interrupted the nurses' brutal treatment of Renata. Although the voice was not loud, it resounded throughout the room, like a dull bell ringing in the dark room.

All the nurses stopped and turned around at the same time to look at the boy who was tied to death with iron chains on the iron bed. At this time, an illusion arose in everyone's heart... as if the person tied to the iron bed was not a crazy boy, but a human-shaped beast.

"What's going on?" The head nurse didn't dare meet the boy's gaze. She yelled at the two nurses beside him, "What are you standing there for? Hold down Zero! If you slack off like this, are you afraid I'll punish you on behalf of the Doctor?"

However, the two nurses seemed to be unable to hear the head nurse's scolding at all. They stood there in a daze, as if they were frightened by something.

"I said... stand up." The boy kept repeating the same sentence.

"What do you mean by stand up or not? Are you going crazy again?" The head nurse yelled at the boy in a timid manner. She didn't want to act like she was frightened by this crazy man who was talking nonsense.

"Head nurse...that's not right..." The nurse behind pulled the head nurse's sleeve, her voice trembling with fear.

"What's going on again! What's wrong? Why are you all acting weird today?" The head nurse turned around suddenly.

She originally wanted to scold the nurse who pulled her sleeve, but the moment she turned her head, she froze there as if petrified.

The petite girl curled up in the corner slowly stood up. It was as if she had changed in the blink of an eye. The emotions of fear, timidity and panic disappeared from the girl's face without a trace. The girl ignored all the nurses she was afraid of. She looked straight ahead, her eyes straight and calm.

The head nurse turned her head again, and this time she finally realized that the boy was not looking at them from beginning to end, but at Renata behind them.

Chapter 687 Negotiation

Similarly, the nonsensical “Stand up” was not directed at them, but at Renata.

The girl was huddled in the corner a second ago, like a frightened rabbit that was overly panic-stricken, but now she stood up immediately, with an expression as cold as an aloof iceberg... The boy said "stand up", and Renata actually stood up.

It was as if the emperor issued an irresistible order to the whole world, and the world actually obeyed his order and some changes took place.

"Renata, what are you looking at?" the head nurse yelled at Renata in a timid voice. "Don't you realize how big a mistake you've made? Are you trying to rebel against us? I will definitely report your actions and your attitude to the Doctor, and I will definitely ask the Doctor to give you the most severe punishment!"

If it were in the past, Renata would have been frightened to faint after seeing the head nurse's angry look and hearing the threatening warning... But now Renata was acting out of character. She seemed to be completely oblivious to the head nurse's threatening and warning scolding. She still stood there quietly, staring at Number Zero on the iron bed, as if there was nothing else in the world worthy of her care except the boy tied to the bed.

Following Renata's gaze, the head nurse understood instantly that it was not that Renata was no longer afraid of her, but that the boy on the iron bed had done something to Renata... It turned out that what the boy said was true. The door lock of Ward Zero was often opened, and Renata sneaked into the forbidden area of ​​Ward Zero again and again at night. Perhaps it was not really caused by the girl's own mischievous character, but all this might have been caused by some kind of inducement from Ward Zero... or even control!

"Awakened? Are you awakened?" The head nurse looked at Zero on the iron bed and yelled in disbelief. "But didn't the 'Doctor' say you were worn out? The 'Doctor' clearly said there was no possibility of you awakening. How could you have awakened?"

But looking at Zero's dark golden eyes, the head nurse felt a fear from the bottom of her heart that came from the soul level... That boy was definitely awakened. Those dark golden pupils and the strong sense of oppression coming from him were proof of it. Moreover, that boy's bloodline was definitely terrifying, but all along, the "Doctor" had conducted countless experiments on him and had never discovered this!

Did he awaken today? No, the last time, the lock on Zero's door was opened by Renata for no reason, which means Zero had awakened three days ago.

But Renata's eyes also turned light gold. Before today, Renata had not shown any signs of awakening. The head nurse suddenly thought of the last time they broke into Ward Zero and saw Zero violating Renata. All the cowhide straps on Zero's body had signs of being torn off. The nurses around her suspected to the head nurse that those straps might have been torn off by Renata, but the head nurse immediately denied it. She felt that Renata did not have the strength to tear off the cowhide straps.

A girl in her early teens might not possess such power, but what if she had already awakened? While this was beyond the understanding of normal human society, they were all such terrifying children. Once awakened, they could gain all kinds of strange powers. Using brute force to tear off a cowhide bandage was no problem for them.

So, did Zero and Renata awaken at the same time? What were their abilities? Zero was clearly being labeled as discarded material by the Doctor, and Renata hadn't even performed surgery. This was completely beyond the Head Nurse's comprehension. Even the Doctor probably hadn't anticipated such a situation. The current situation was completely beyond the Head Nurse's control.

"Hold Zero! Hold Renata!" the head nurse shouted to the nurses, "We must notify the Doctor. Someone, quickly, tell the Doctor about the current situation. Only the Doctor can handle these two guys right now!"

"It's not the right time yet." Number Zero on the iron bed suddenly spoke up, glancing at the head nurse with his dark golden eyes. "Now is not the time for him to come forward. And the one he's meeting isn't me, but my brother. I can't get my brother's things back from him, and I don't know what my brother lost... Some things can only be retrieved personally by the person who lost them."

The head nurse didn't understand Zero's confusing words at all, but when Zero moved his gaze from Renata to her, the moment she was stared at by Zero, the head nurse felt like she was being stared at by a man-eating beast, and her whole body was cold as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

"Don't just stand there! Sedatives, hallucinogens, hypnotics, stun guns! No matter what method... no matter what method, we must subdue these two guys!" The head nurse was finally scared. Unable to suppress the fear in her heart, she shouted at the nurses with a panicked face, "Delay them, all of you, delay them together, I will go and notify the 'Doctor' myself!"

The head nurse was awakened by the almost roaring voice of the head nurse. They were angry because of fear. Both Zero and Renata had been tools for them to bully, abuse and even vent their anger. They were actually afraid of such humble guys. They could not bear it. The nurses rushed towards Renata and Zero with syringes and electric batons.

"I told you I'd meet him someday, but not now. I'm already asleep and won't be waking up for a while." Zero looked at Renata and softly said to her, "The contract has taken effect. You now have the ability to protect yourself. If the devil's companions were bullied by others, wouldn't the devil himself lose face? Go, prove to me you're useful, and I'll never abandon you."

Renata, who had been standing quietly in place, moved. It was not the dazed and helpless movements before. To be precise, Renata did not move like a girl in her early ten years, but more like a swift snow leopard. , her petite figure flashed away, as if white lightning flashed across people's sight.

Renata's first target was not the nurses who bullied her the most, but the nurses around Zero. She slammed her petite body into those nurses' bodies. She had no fighting skills, so she either used her shoulders to butt, her elbows, or even her head.

But unexpectedly, those strong and fierce Russian women were no match for this girl. They were pushed by Renata's petite body, as if they were hit head-on by a truck. Their bodies flew backwards uncontrollably, falling on the bookshelves and corners one by one, and fainted.

Nurses holding electric batons rushed from behind Renata. They used the solid metal batons in their hands to hit Renata's shoulders and even the back of her head. In this situation, the nurses did not care whether such a blow would cause fatal damage to Renata. Renata's shoulders were hit several times, but she only shook slightly and was not even knocked back.

With a heavy thud, a nurse hit Renata's head hard with a stick. The girl staggered a few times and fell headfirst against the wall, like a deer shot by a hunter.

Just when the nurse thought she had defeated the mad Renata and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the girl who had fallen against the wall immediately climbed up again. Renata's light golden eyes were still as cold as ice. The back of her head was probably smashed by the nurse and was bleeding profusely.

The bright red blood dyed Renata's white shirt red. The nurse who hit Renata on the back of the head looked at the girl. She screamed "Ah", threw away the baton in her hand, and ran out of the door of Ward Zero with a terrified look on her face, looking as if she had seen a ghost.

The head nurse was also quite frightened. Although she did not flee in panic like her nurses, she also slowly moved backwards, away from Ward Zero... She did not dare to turn around and run away directly because she was afraid that the big movement would attract the attention of Ward Zero and Renata. Man-eating beasts usually chase the fastest fleeing prey first.

"Zero, you haven't imagined the consequences of your and Renata's actions, have you?" The head nurse retreated to the door of Ward Zero and questioned Zero from a distance. "If you do this, the Doctor will definitely not let you go, and he won't let Renata go either."

The head nurse pressed one of her hands tightly against the emergency button on the wall. It was not because she felt that she had retreated to a safe distance that she began to provoke Zero unscrupulously, but because the safety button on the side finally made her feel a little safe. As long as she pressed the button, iron fences would be lowered at the door of each room. The fence in front of Ward Zero was specially reinforced. Even if Renata and Zero had awakened, they would be trapped beasts in an iron cage.

"Are you threatening me?" Zero said calmly from the iron bed. "You can't threaten me, and neither can 'Doctor'. You can't kill me, and you won't kill Renata either. Every child who awakens their bloodline is invaluable material to you, isn't it?"

"When did you awaken? What are your abilities? Is Renata's awakening related to you?" The head nurse stared at Zero intently. "What on earth are you?"

"You are not qualified to ask me these questions," Zero said. "Let the Doctor come and interview my brother. He should end this erroneous history that he started."

"I don't understand a word you're saying!" the head nurse yelled in dissatisfaction. "You're really a lunatic. There's no way we can communicate normally!"

The head nurse gave up negotiating with Zero. This crazy boy kept saying some mysterious words, which she could not understand at all. But the implication of his words was that he wanted to see the "Doctor". How could the head nurse let him succeed? Renata was obviously not in a state to communicate. The head nurse was ready to press the emergency button, lower the iron cage, and temporarily trap Renata and Zero in Ward Zero.

"Renata." Zero whispered.

Renata rushed out in response. Before the head nurse could even press the emergency button, Renata hit her directly in the abdomen. The head nurse was knocked out and her whole body rolled several times on the ground.

But the head nurse was indeed the most ferocious woman in the entire building. This collision might have broken several of her ribs, but she still staggered to her feet after spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, looking at Renata and Zero with resentful and fearful eyes.

There were footsteps at the back of the corridor, and it turned out that the nurse who had escaped turned back, with soldiers following behind her... It turned out that she did not escape in a hurry, but went to move reinforcements.

In this building in the far north, even the nurses responsible for giving injections and medications are mostly retired military personnel from the front lines of the war. They are fierce and strong but also strictly disciplined. In this situation, running away would be no different from deserting from the battlefield.

Soldiers holding submachine guns and automatic rifles stopped behind the head nurse. They surrounded the corridor outside Ward Zero, aiming their dark guns at Renata outside the door and Ward Zero in the ward.

The soldiers all had solemn expressions on their faces, looking at Renata and Zero as if they were looking at some kind of ferocious beast... Obviously, they all knew that the children in this building were not ordinary children. When their eyes turned golden, they would gain some strange unnatural abilities, making them more dangerous than ferocious beasts.

The head nurse stretched out a hand, holding it in the air, to prevent the soldiers from making any rash moves against Renata and Zero. Just as Zero said, every awakened child will become the "Doctor's" most precious research material, especially Zero himself, who means a lot to the "Doctor". The head nurse only has supervisory and management rights over Zero, and does not have any right to deal with Zero.

"Renata, retreat." Zero said to Renata at the door, "You don't have the strength to face the guns head-on right now."

Renata silently retreated into Ward Zero, stood beside the iron bed in Room Zero, and looked at the soldiers at the door, with a faint glimmer of gold in her pupils.

"No. Zero, what exactly do you want to do?" the head nurse asked in a low voice to No. Zero, "You resist so fiercely and make trouble to the 'Doctor'. Even if you and Renata awaken, you will inevitably suffer. "

"This is called self-defense," Zero said calmly. "I've said from the beginning that I want the Doctor to talk to my brother. This is my only request, and it's not excessive."

"And then?" the head nurse asked cautiously.

"Then the wrong history will be corrected, and the gears of fate will engage at the necessary nodes." Zero looked up at the ceiling and said softly.

Chapter 688 Tide of Memory

"At the end of the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—to gather them for war..." Zero looked at the ceiling and sang softly, "...their number is like the sand on the seashore."

"You lunatic, you're talking nonsense again!" the head nurse cursed harshly.

The head nurse had no idea what Zero meant by "wrong history" and "the gears of fate". Zero then recited a passage from the Book of Revelation. The head nurse was Russian, and the Orthodox Church that Russians believed in was one of the three major branches of Christianity.

The head nurse simply didn't understand why this madman suddenly recited an important passage about "holy war" from the "Book of Revelation" in the Bible. Who was the "brother" he was talking about? What did all this have to do with his desire to see the "Doctor"... The head nurse just felt that this madman was impossible to communicate with.

"So the negotiations have failed, right? In fact, there was no need for us to talk from the beginning." Zero on the iron bed sighed softly.

The head nurse looked at Zero in the ward warily. To be honest, she didn't really want to talk to Zero from the beginning. This boy often said some crazy things that you couldn't understand, making you feel that you couldn't communicate, but he always managed to confuse you.
