Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 97: Thunder and the Watcher (7)

Dragon Raja 5

Lu Mingfei nodded.

“Logically speaking, we were passing through uninhabited areas during that period, and EVA couldn’t locate us, but the people in the Russian branch knew our route in advance,” said Nono.

“That’s right! How could those bastards guess the route I was looking for?” he grumbled, his phone tossed on the armrest of the sofa. “They must have cheated! But I still haven’t figured out how they did it!”

“Tell your roommate to shut up.” Nono said coldly.

Lu Mingfei immediately picked up his phone and prepared to turn it off.

“Wait a minute! I have important information to provide!” Finger said quickly.

Nuonuo winked at Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei paused.

“According to my guess, we may be carrying some kind of transmitter. This transmitter is very small and has limited battery capacity. It can only send out a signal once in a while. The academy locates us through this signal, so they know we have arrived in Mongolia and Tokyo, but they don’t know our exact location because we are always moving.” said Finger.

Nuonuo and Lu Mingfei were stunned. It was true. The academy would always know where they were a step late, but not for too long.

“But we even changed all our clothes.” Lu Mingfei said, “You also left Mr. Shao’s RV in Vladivostok.”

They actually took a long detour to come to Tokyo, driving all the way to Vladivostok, Russia, then taking a cargo ship to Hokkaido, and then hitchhiking along the way south.

“Then have a spy among you who secretly reports your location to the academy every once in a while,” said the crow.

Nuonuo looked at Lu Mingfei, who looked at Chu Zihang. Crow’s speculation was reasonable, but none of them had any reason to betray anyone. Finally, all three of them looked at the phone.

“Hey, hey, hey! What’s with that look of distrust? If I hadn’t told you jokes to entertain you along the way, would you have been able to hold on until now? If I wanted to betray you, I could just lead you into a trap, wouldn’t that be the end of it?” Finger said loudly, “I’m the youngest and cutest among you now, you can’t bully me like this!”

“Damn it, it’s so annoying. Lu Mingfei told your roommate to shut up!” Nuonuo said impatiently.

This time, Lu Mingfei firmly pressed the power button.

What Finger said was right. They had been following the route he had pointed out all the way. If he really wanted to betray them, there were countless ways to do it. There was no need to send a signal secretly.

“Hiding isn’t a solution anyway,” said the crow. “Japan won’t always be a safe haven.”

“The question is how to get there and where to go,” Lu Mingfei said. “If that transmitter really exists and we can’t find it, we’ll be caught no matter where we go.”

“Then there is only one way left,” said the crow. “Keep running, be the most agile prey, and let the hounds run after you. As long as you are fast enough, they can’t catch you.”

Nuonuo and Lu Mingfei exchanged a glance. They were constantly on the run? Without a single pause, until they were caught or beaten to death. It sounded both lively and tragic.

“Is there anything else you can do to help us?” Lu Mingfei asked.

“You’re asking so directly! I must have owed you a lot in my past life.” The crow sighed. “Our opponents are a group of very experienced hunters. Among them are excellent tacticians and outstanding decapitation experts. They are fully armed and likely use some kind of tracking system to know your location. But they have been so quiet until now. Why? Because it’s not the right time yet. They are waiting for the right opportunity. It’s like a falcon soaring in the sky, watching its prey running wildly. It doesn’t rush to catch it, not because it doesn’t want to, but because it waits for the right opportunity to pounce and catch it.”

“So if we start to escape again, they might catch us?” Nono said.

“That’s right. But in this hunt, even though they are falcons, they are not completely fearless. After all, this little white rabbit in your group will bite if it gets angry.”

“If you have a plan, just tell me.” Nono stared into Crow’s eyes.

“So, how about turning defense into offense?” Crow also stared at Nono. “Let’s take the initiative to attack them. Before Kaguya’s firewall is breached by the EVA, we’re still at home in Japan. Let’s make good use of this home-field advantage. They probably won’t expect us to take the initiative to attack. This will be a blind spot for them.”

Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo looked at each other in surprise. This gangster who was used to stabbing people in the back actually proposed a frontal attack.

“Take the initiative to attack? Are you crazy? Even if we kill them, the academy will send a new team. It’s meaningless.” Nono objected.

“I know they have plenty of people. If they mobilized the entire world, they could even form an army. But may I ask why they sent such a small team to Tokyo? The highest-ranking person in this team is A-rank. Even if Lu Mingfei can’t transform into a dragon, he’s still an S-rank. If they wanted to hunt him, they should have sent a team with higher levels of equipment.”

Nuonuo was stunned for a moment. What Crow said made sense. Susie was very strong, and Lancelot might be even stronger, but not strong enough to hunt a Dragon King. And Susie herself said that Lu Mingfei was a Dragon King-level target.
