Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 103: Thunder and the Watcher (13)

Dragon Raja 5

“A place without heaven and earth?” Lancelot was stunned. The name exuded an air of determination.

“It’s a tactical Jedi. Only a few locations meet this requirement. It’s a natural battlefield, free from interference. Once you step in, your escape route is cut off, and only the victor can escape.” Crow said, “I’ll lead Lu Mingfei and the others there. The rest is up to you.”

He stood up and left without saying goodbye to anyone.

He came here to negotiate a deal, not to reveal his entire plan in front of so many people. Now that the deal is done, he left with a heavier step than when he came.

When Lu Mingfei returned to the hotel, the lights in the room were off. He tiptoed towards the bathroom. Times had changed. He checked into this hotel with someone else, and they were still sleeping in the bathtub. At this time, a cold snort came from behind him.

Lu Mingfei was startled and when he looked back, he saw Nuonuo wrapped in a blanket, sitting quietly on the windowsill, with countless empty beer cans beside her.

“It took you three hours to buy a map book?” Nono asked coldly.

“I also watched a movie,” Lu Mingfei said immediately, “I don’t know when I can watch a movie next time.”

Although he reacted quickly, he still felt a little uneasy. Nuonuo’s “profiling” ability was really terrifying. What was even more terrifying was that she would not tell you whether she could tell that you were lying.

It is possible that you are proud of your perfect lie, but she just sneers in her heart.

“What movie?”

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. “The live-action version of Gintama is quite interesting, but movies based on comics always seem a bit strange.”

This was the story he had prepared long ago, and he had done his homework beforehand. There really was a cinema nearby, and there really was a live-action version of “Gintama” showing at this time. If Nuonuo continued to ask, Lu Mingfei could even take out the ticket stub from his pocket and show it to her.

Nono wrapped herself in a blanket and looked out the window. “A live-action version of Gintama? Sounds quite interesting.”

Lu Mingfei was stunned and hesitated for a moment. He tiptoed to the windowsill and sat down face to face with Nuonuo.

It’s called a windowsill, but it’s actually quite large, a bit like the large bay windows popular in Chinese residential design, covered with hand-woven wool mats and a small tea table. It’s glass on three sides, like a small glass pavilion.

“If I had known you were interested, I would have asked you to come along. Forget about it, senior brother. That movie is not suitable for children.” Lu Mingfei was cautious because he really didn’t know whether what Nuonuo said was true or not.

“It turns out that he went to watch a movie that is not suitable for children without telling us.” Nuonuo said softly, resting his pointed chin on his knees.

This action made her look like a small animal, a kitten, a red panda, a squirrel, a hedgehog… Lu Mingfei couldn’t tell which animal she looked like, but it was one with big eyes that could curl itself up small.

Nuonuo rarely appeared like this; she had always been a generous girl. Lu Mingfei’s heart moved, and he suddenly realized that before he came back, Nuonuo had been staring blankly outside, like a little animal afraid of the cold.

He tilted his head to look at Nuonuo’s profile, “You’ve lost weight.”

Nuonuo didn’t originally have such a small and pointed chin, but after fleeing for so long, everyone would inevitably look haggard and skinny.

Nuonuo glanced at Lu Mingfei coldly, killing the topic with just her eyes.

“Crow came and said that the boat to take us away has been prepared.” Nuonuo threw a can of beer to Lu Mingfei.

“Boat? He talked so much, just asking us to leave by boat?” Lu Mingfei said.

“It’s a cargo ship, hauling garbage, but it’s also secretly a human smuggling operation. Crow said he’s captured the ship owner’s entire family and threatened to kill them if he doesn’t get us to a safe port.”

“This… this is too simple and crude!” Lu Mingfei was stunned, but he had to admit that this method was very Crow-like.

“Lancelot knows we want to escape Japan, so he’ll definitely find a way to monitor all entrances and exits. However, human smuggling ships are in the business of secretly transporting people in and out, and time is limited. Your friend thinks they’re the best choice.”

“I thought he was going to get us a private jet or something, but it turned out to be a human smuggling ship.”

“That’s quite a request! Do you want me to show you the stewardess files?”

The two of them fell silent, staring out the window in a daze.

In fact, what Lu Mingfei complained about was not that the human smuggling ship was uncomfortable, but the three words “human smuggling ship” made him suddenly feel that he was really on the run. It is conceivable that their journey in Japan will become increasingly difficult and embarrassing, and they may eventually be captured in a remote place in West Africa or South America, looking disheveled.

There wasn’t much of a nice view outside the window. This area certainly couldn’t be compared with the dazzling glitter of places like Ginza and Roppongi. It was just narrow streets, small square-box-like single-family houses, and silent street lights.

He really don’t know what Nono was looking at there.
