Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 58: Whale Song (27)

Dragon Raja 5

“I remember now. Lu Mingfei mentioned it too.” Crow patted his head. “This guy knows too much. He’s not a scientist, he’s a fucking prophet!”

Nuonuo looked at Lu Mingfei in surprise. Lu Mingfei was looking at another scroll seriously and was not paying attention to their conversation.

Nuonuo and Lu Mingfei hadn’t discussed this matter, but Lu Mingfei had already made a similar inference long before seeing the information. For Nuonuo, who was good at profiling, it was not difficult to notice this, but Lu Mingfei could only understand it through repeated thinking and analysis.

So much time has passed, and some people have indeed become different from before.

“The most likely possibility is that Herzog didn’t complete these studies independently, but inherited the database of a certain organization.” Nono said slowly, “And this unknown organization, like the Secret Party, has been quietly keeping an eye on the Dragon Clan for a long time.”

Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked at Nuonuo with a look of horror in his eyes.

This is indeed the most reasonable explanation, or even the only explanation, but it is a bit unbelievable. Is there an organization in the world similar to the Secret Party that studies dragons?

Could it be that the mysterious organization has been hidden in history for thousands of years without ever showing up?

“You can use this warehouse freely for three days.” Crow tossed the key to Lu Mingfei. “If you don’t go back to the shrine to stay tonight, you can sleep on the floor here. I won’t accompany you anymore. I still have to go to work.”

“Go to work?” Lu Mingfei was stunned.

“Of course I have to go to work. My main job tomorrow is to tell the academy’s agent the story of how you took me hostage and how I escaped safely.” Crow scratched his head. “I haven’t thought of the story yet. There’s a plot I can’t get over.”

“What’s the plot?” Lu Mingfei asked.

“Are you and your senior sister a pair of thieves like Bonnie and Clyde, or are you two co-conspirators with some disagreements? If it’s the latter, I can explain that you originally wanted to abandon my body in the wilderness, but your senior sister had a big argument with you and forced you to let me go.” Crow continued scratching his head. “If that’s the way it is, the story logic seems to be more logical. Otherwise, how would I have come back alive? If your relationship is like Bonnie and Clyde…”

Crow suddenly shut up because Lu Mingfei and NuoNuo were looking at him with eyes that said, “Shut up, you drama queen.”

“Okay, okay, go to bed early. I brought some instant noodles and drinks in the plastic bag.” Crow lit a cigarette, waved goodbye, and walked out. His leather shoes had iron soles nailed to them, and his footsteps were crisp and loud.

Nuonuo and Lu Mingfei had just lowered their heads to flip through the files in their hands, and when they looked up again, the loud footsteps of the crows suddenly stopped.

The two men looked at each other, vigilantly grasped the weapons hidden at their waists, and slowly walked towards the outer room of the warehouse.

The crow did stop, holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the figure holding a knife under the lamp.

It was Chu Zihang, standing opposite the headless mannequin. He hesitated for a long time, then carefully drew out an ancient sword.

It was as if a stream of clear water splashed out of the scabbard, the curve of the blade was exquisite and murderous, and the inscription on the blade was faintly discernible, “The evil spirit lurks at night in Spider Mountain.”

The ancient alchemical sword Spider Cut was the sword that Yuan Zhisheng used back then. When Lu Mingfei saw this sword again, his heart was slightly shocked.

In his memory, this sword was later given to Chu Zihang by Crow on behalf of Minamoto Chisei, replacing Chu Zihang’s broken Murasame. However, the causal connection has been revised. It was Abdullah Abbas who appeared in the Battle of Tokyo. President Abbas’s usual weapon was not a Japanese sword, so Crow would not have given him this sword. It is only natural that it is preserved here as a relic of Minamoto Chisei.

Lu Mingfei wanted to stop Chu Zihang from playing with the weapon, but was stopped by Crow.

Under the lamp, Chu Zihang tested the blade with his fingers, lost in thought. Once he had the knife, he was completely absorbed, oblivious to Lu Mingfei and the others watching from afar. He stared at the knife for a long time, making a stance with it, then wielding it and stepping forward, actually practicing it, his movements in an orderly fashion, like a dance.

The crow looked at it intently for a long time, then nodded, “Very authentic.”

“He doesn’t have any famous sword-fighting teacher. He follows the same path as me and studies mixed martial arts. If there’s anyone better than me, it’s the one who took kendo classes at the Children’s Palace for a few years,” said Lu Mingfei.

“No, it’s very authentic. If you haven’t learned from a master, you’ve seen a master wielding a sword,” Crow said softly. “The head of the family is a master of that level of swordsmanship.”

Lu Mingfei was stunned, and he suddenly understood the crow’s implication.

Perhaps the word that changes cause and effect is not absolute. Chu Zihang still has memories of the past. In a time and space that is almost erased, he saw Yuan Zhisheng wielding a sword to be a friend of justice. He remembered that swordsmanship and still has memories of this sword.
