Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 68: Whale Song (37)

Dragon Raja 5

“Well done!” Nono crushed the coffee can with one hand and was about to hit the man on the big screen, but was stopped by Crow.

“No, no, it’s family property after all. Besides, smashing one is useless. The big screens in Tokyo must be worth tens of thousands of dollars,” said Crow. “Smashing the screen might even expose your whereabouts. The warehouse is nearby.”

“Brother! Brother, what’s wrong with you?” Chu Zihang’s anxious voice sounded beside him.

Nuonuo and Crow were startled and turned their heads to see Lu Mingfei holding his head in pain and slowly kneeling down.

“Lu Mingfei! Lu Mingfei! Lu Mingfei, what’s wrong with you?” Nuonuo supported him and shouted.

“Bang… Bang! Bang!” Lu Mingfei roared weakly, his whole body trembling like a typhoid patient.

As the man began to speak, Lu Mingfei suddenly heard a familiar voice: a strange clapperboard sound, mingling with the man’s powerful voice. It was like the background music during a pastor’s sermon, soft at first but growing louder and louder until it completely drowned out the voices. The whole world was filled with the strange clapperboard sound, like the sound of a great bell.

He had heard this kind of bangzi sound twice, once when he was in the restaurant with Eri, and once when he was in the Takama-ga-hara store with Genji. The strange rhythm was like the music played by the god of death, which could shatter a person’s soul.

That’s… the sound of Herzog’s clapper!

Could it be that the demon wasn’t dead yet? Was he secretly following them? He couldn’t resist the sound of the clappers. When he couldn’t move… Nono was in danger!

Lu Mingfei bit his tongue hard, hoping to regain his consciousness through the pain.

But it was no use, he could hardly feel the pain, to be more precise he could not feel the physical pain, but the mental pain could overwhelm him. It seemed as if a heavy blunt knife was slashing down from the middle of his head, one cut after another, to split his soul in two.

Hallucinations appeared one after another. Bronze bells swung and roared… A pale devil was nailed to a cross by a holy spear… Girls in white dresses played in a garden, but the entire garden was ablaze…

“Fuck you! Come out! Come out!” Lu Mingfei roared, with golden flames flowing in his eyes.

That was not his voice, but Lu Mingze’s. The devil had rarely lost control and was struggling to get out of his body.

Nuonuo wanted to pull him up, but she froze when she saw his face.

Lu Mingfei was in the process of transforming into a dragon. Blue-grey scales protruded from the surface of his skin, his bones grew and deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye, black bone spurs broke through the surface of his body, his muscles bulged violently, and every muscle fiber was so clear, like a taut steel cable.

The most terrifying thing was his face. It still looked like Lu Mingfei, but for some reason it was brutal and hideous.

Nono was frightened.

This was not the first time she witnessed Lu Mingfei transforming into a dragon, nor was it the most serious one. When he was fighting against Odin, Lu Mingfei was completely in the form of a dragon, hideous and terrifying.

But back then, Lu Mingfei’s eyes still held tenderness as he looked at her, and he would say words to reassure her. Lu Mingfei at this moment was different. He growled softly, glaring around with his scarlet-gold eyes, as if he wanted to find the hidden banger and devour him alive.

Crow was at a loss. Judging from the current situation, Lu Mingfei might turn into an angry ancient dragon at any time. He should seize the opportunity to shoot this guy in the head.

At this time, a quick phone ring came from Lu Mingfei’s pocket. Nuonuo was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood. She took out the mobile phone given by EVA from Lu Mingfei’s pocket.

“The source of the sound! Find the source quickly! The sound comes from a loudspeaker!” Finger on the screen was shouting anxiously.

Crow suddenly remembered that a similar thing had happened to Genji. It should be that Herzog could control specific objects through some strange audio, although the principle was still unclear.

Could it be that Herzog is not dead? Crow was covered in cold sweat.

Crow pulled out his gun and aimed around, but there was no one else on the street except them, let alone a strange man banging a clapper.

He didn’t hear any clapper sounds, and the whole street was echoing with a man’s sermon. Crow looked up at the big screen in the air, and it was still playing the same video. Fujiwara Nobunosuke had requested that it be played repeatedly.

Before Crow could fully grasp the situation, Nuonuo had already snatched the gun from his hand. Nuonuo fired two bursts, disabling the loudspeakers on either side of the large screen. He stared intently at the man speaking silently on the screen, then fired another shot, piercing the man’s forehead. The large screen flickered a few times, sparks erupted, and then went black.

Lu Mingfei felt like a drowning man being pulled out of the water. The dragon transformation phenomenon immediately weakened, and his whole body ached as if someone had just broken his bones one by one. He lay on the ground, gasping for breath and coughing violently.

“The audio is hidden in that video. Among us, only Lu Mingfei is sensitive to it, so we can’t hear it.” Nono said.
