Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 84: Whale Song (53)

Dragon Raja 5

Fujiwara no Nobunosuke bowed deeply. “People with few friends tend to value them more, I thought at the time, so I was prepared for Saeki-kun to reject me. But I also prepared some words to persuade Saeki-kun. I’m sure Saeki-kun knows that Lu-kun can transform into a dragon, and he must have even witnessed it with his own eyes. Is a dragon-like Lu-kun still Saeki-kun’s friend?”

Crow’s heart trembled slightly.

The scene of last night resurfaced before his eyes. The guy spewing dark blue air, with lava flowing in his eyes, looked like a demon escaping from the gates of hell. He roared, wantonly emitting a breath of majesty, power, and blood.

Is that guy really Lu Mingfei? Would he even recognize him as Saeki Ryuji? If the academy’s helicopter hadn’t arrived, or if it hadn’t been forcibly aborted mid-transformation, would that guy have done something to destroy Tokyo?

No one knows, no one can speculate, and no one can even do an experiment to test it, until the next time he loses control. And the next time he loses control, will he really destroy a city?

“Lu-kun’s situation isn’t about whether he harbors evil thoughts, but rather that he might be losing himself. The Lu-kun who is disappearing is your true friend, Saeki-kun,” Fujiwara Nobunosuke said. “Do you really want to release a mad dragon that looks a lot like Lu-kun, and allow your true friend to disappear?”

Fujiwara no Nobunosuke bowed deeply again. “That’s all I can think of to say. If Saeki-kun would be willing to consider what I said, it would be my great honor. Farewell.”

He took a small step forward, placed the gift box on Crow’s desk, and retreated back to the door.

“That video… was sent to the academy by the Gattuso family, saying it was requested by Chen Motong’s father. We don’t actually know what’s in it.” Fujiwara Nobunosuke turned around at the door. “The academy is deeply sorry for the incident, but I think… the Gattuso family’s messenger should have arrived in Japan. Please be careful, Mr. Saeki.”

Fujiwara no Nobunosuke closed the door and went out, leaving only Crow in the huge office, silent and alone.

Lu Mingfei slowly opened his eyes, and before him lay the cherry-red roof. His entire body ached and itched, as if countless ants were crawling along his bones, gnawing at his joints. The slightest movement sent his vision black with pain.

There was no need to think about getting up for the time being, and turning his head was also difficult. However, judging from the feeling, he should be lying on a soft big bed, probably in a hotel, but the decoration was a bit bright.

“…The Self-Defense Forces have taken over security in the area, and on-site cleanup is still in progress. Our frontline reporter, Ms. Yuno, will now interview the Self-Defense Forces spokesperson and bring us back first-hand information.” Voice from the TV.

“According to the intelligence we have so far, this should be a large-scale arms smuggling case. A fierce battle broke out between the armed personnel escorting the arms and the robbers. During the battle, they fired a large number of heavy weapons, including shoulder-fired rocket launchers and heavy machine guns, which eventually caused the truck carrying the arms to explode.” A calm and magnetic male voice.

“But according to nearby residents, they heard a strange roar before the gunshots, as if it was made by some super-large creature, and the children thought it was Godzilla. Does the Self-Defense Forces have any explanation for this?” A clear and pleasant female voice.

“I can only say with regret that we did not find Godzilla’s body at the scene…”

Lu Mingfei chuckled dryly. These Japanese were quite good at lying. The Self-Defense Forces clearly knew that what happened last night was more complicated than it seemed, but they had come up with this story to avoid causing panic among the public. But they would undoubtedly implement secret military control of ports in and out of Tokyo, making their operations even more difficult.

A girl’s face appeared in his sight. It was Nuonuo, with long hair hanging down, swaying in front of his eyes like a vine.

“Awake?” Nuonuo’s greeting was simple, but Lu Mingfei didn’t expect her to show an expression that said, “You finally woke up. I was so worried to death.”

Nuonuo then inserted a needle into his upper arm and pushed the medicine into his body. “This is a painkiller. After this injection, you will be able to move around within 12 hours. But after 12 hours, your wound may be healed.”

What Nuonuo said was true. When She pulled out the two knives last night, I felt like all the joints in my elbows were broken. But now I can move my arms fine, it just hurts.

This incredible self-healing ability made me wonder whether I should be happy or terrified. I really am a freak. Before, I only healed faster than others, but now I could even rebuild my almost completely destroyed elbow. Maybe next time I could cut off my lower body and it would grow back completely, like an earthworm.

“Where…is this?” The opening line was too cliché, but I still said it subconsciously.

“Think about it again, you have been here.” Nono said.

The painkiller injection had begun to take effect. Lu Mingfei supported his body with his elbows, barely sat up, and looked around.

The entire room was cherry red, with a bright red velvet sofa, bright red curtains, wallpaper with bright red lipstick marks, and a pair of horse whips decorating the walls. He said he brought them with him when he was drowsy, so there was no doubt about it. It was that hotel, which was not far from the warehouse.
