Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 25: Public Enemy (25)

Dragon Raja 5

Lu Mingfei knocked his head. His brain throbbed with pain as he recalled the memory. It seemed as if this scene had indeed happened. He violently wanted to tear Odin apart, but that familiar face suddenly appeared before him. He suddenly woke up from his chaotic rage and stared at that face blankly, feeling the boiling blood in his body gradually cool down.

It was as if a little devil sneered disdainfully behind him, and then he lost consciousness and fell on his back.

“He seems to be controlled by this mask, which gives him terrifying power. After taking off the mask, he is not as powerful, but he is still very aggressive, but that aggression is out of fear. He is very scared, so I have been injecting him with ketamine to keep him asleep, but even without the mask. I wanted to show you a sleeping him, but without the mask his bloodline is still very strong, and he will become more and more resistant to sedatives. This time he woke up earlier than before and found a place to hide. When you went in, he probably thought you were a threat, so he attacked you.” Nono said, “It’s hard for me to tell whether he is your senior brother or Odin at this moment. He hasn’t said a word so far.”

“That’s definitely my senior brother,” Lu Mingfei said.

“Are you so sure?” Nuonuo raised his eyebrows.

“I was sitting next to him for a while, and he was talking in his sleep, and he called out two names.”

“Did he ask you for help in his dream?”

“No, he just called mom and dad.”

Nuonuo was stunned for a moment and nodded.

“But I still don’t remember him.” After a moment’s silence, Nono said, “I can guess that this person is the Chu Zihang you mentioned, but I don’t have much impression of him. The Lionheart Club president I remember is still Abdullah Abbas.”

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

“My guess is that a very high-level word spirit distorted the causal line. The person who used this word spirit erased Chu Zihang’s existence for some purpose, but in order to fill the loophole of Chu Zihang’s disappearance, they put Abdullah Abbas in Chu Zihang’s original position. The disappeared Chu Zihang was controlled by a mask and used as Odin.” Nono looked straight ahead. “And this word spirit is still effective until now. Even if you bring Chu Zihang back to the academy, you can’t prove yourself, because I don’t remember Chu Zihang, and no one else will remember him either. In their eyes, you are just someone you brought back from outside.”

“How could this happen?” Lu Mingfei murmured.

“To terminate a Word Spirit, the key is to find the one who released it, not the target of the Word Spirit.” Nuonuo tossed an old iPhone to Lu Mingfei, “I’ll drive, you navigate.”

“Such a high-end station wagon doesn’t have navigation?” Lu Mingfei was puzzled, but he still turned on the power button of the phone. “First-generation iPhone? Can this thing still connect to the Internet?”

“EVA’s final gift. It’s loaded with EVA’s logic library, which means it thinks exactly like EVA. It will guide us on our escape route and teach us how to avoid EVA’s tracking.”

“So we have a scaled-down version of EVA?” Lu Mingfei stared at his phone.

“It’s okay if you want to call him EVA.” Nono said.

Just as Lu Mingfei was trying to figure out the meaning of this sentence, a shaking, disheveled head suddenly appeared on the screen. The big face was so familiar that Lu Mingfei was so frightened that he almost dropped his phone.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I heard the sound of you turning on your phones! What can your sweetheart do? Although this is the first generation of iPhone, you can still interact with it through voice.” A generous bass voice and a flattering smile that almost overflowed the screen.

Lu Mingfei slowly turned his head towards Nuonuo, “You told me there was an EVA inside…”

“I’ve tested it, and the logic is indeed that of the EVA, but the personality is your best friend’s, so I think it’s best for you to hold the device. I know you two are the kind of good friends who can communicate with fart noises.”

Lu Mingfei turned his gaze back to the screen. The man on the screen was winking at him. Although it was a 3D modeled animated character, Lu Mingfei had studied thousands of Japanese comics and easily recognized this guy by breaking through the dimensional wall.

EVA didn’t import her own image into this scaled-down device. She imported…

“Are you happy or surprised? Your soul brother, Fingel von Frings, serves you loyally!” Finger on the screen wiggled his hips and made a heart shape with his hands. “Even if my body betrayed you a thousand times, deep in my soul, I still only love you! I’m rooting for you, Mr. President.”

The phone actually made a fart sound, as if to prove what Nuonuo said, that he was a good friend who could communicate with Lu Mingfei through the sound of farts.

Lu Mingfei silently turned over the phone and placed it on the front desk of the driver’s seat. He was still in a mixed mood and didn’t want to see the guy’s lewd smile.

The white RV was driving on the highway under the stars and the moon, and in the distance the quiet lake was shimmering with tiny ripples.
