Chapter 358: The Plan of "Ascension to God"
"Your adoptive father is dead. He is actually a hidden...evil man. What was in front of you was just his disguise."
Lu Mingfei returned to Uesugi Eri's room on the "ξ" floor and told her the fact that her adoptive father "Tachibana Masamune" had died.
Originally, he wanted to use the word "heresy", but considering that he had to slowly change Eri's habit of "obsessing" with "The Book of Holy Words", he changed his mind to use "evil man" to describe Herzog.
Behind him were Yuan Zhisheng and Yuan Zhisheng. As the elder brother, Yuan Zhisheng had an obvious look of exhaustion on his face;
He has not closed his eyes for more than thirty hours. He has not been given much time for emo, nor has he been given time for the eight Sheqi families to be angry. He led the elite backbone of the Executive Bureau and followed the other family heads to fight against "Tachibana Masamune" Everything left behind was thoroughly cleaned and searched.
Accompanying him was his younger brother, who had now become quite large and wore armor that made a rumble as he walked.
As the "Dragon King", he followed them to recruit the existing members of the Fierce Ghosts. If they were brainwashed too deeply, they would be ruthlessly eliminated; at the same time, he also used the word spirit "Dream Tapir" to carry out direct and efficient operations. Interrogation to obtain information.
From the face exposed after taking off the helmet, you can still vaguely see the remaining beauty that once belonged to a childish girl, but more of it is steel-like calmness and perseverance. It seems that those grievances, anger, unwillingness... are all killed that day. When Herzog died, all his fists fell.
Yuan Zhisheng has begun to wonder what kind of transformation surgery Lu Mingfei and the others have performed to allow a person to undergo such a comprehensive transformation from physical to psychological.
…
"Um."
Eri Yi just nodded, her beautiful face not showing any strange expression because of Lu Mingfei's words.
She grabbed a small, pink control device and stared at the LCD screen in front of her with serious eyes as she charged and killed with a gun.
Fingel introduced that this is a war game played by ordinary people. It is not scary, bloody and exciting and not suitable for children. The one Eri played was "Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare"...
"This is her game time," Yuan Zhisheng reminded in a low voice from behind. "During this period, Eri's schedule is very regular. In the past, apart from eating and resting, she spent the rest of the time playing games and reading comics; now she Spend some time praying and reading that notebook.”
"Then let her play time return to normal and stop reading that notebook." Lu Mingfei leaned back and whispered to him.
"..."
Minamoto Zhisheng wants to say, didn't you write that book and then have it translated for Eri? However, considering that the current Lu Mingfei's thinking may have changed a lot from the Lu Mingfei who came to Japan half a year ago, he said no more.
However, Eriki is in pretty good shape now, and the false "Tachibana Masamune" is not worth her even slightest emotional ups and downs.
Minamoto had thought about teaching Eri Yi how to behave, but now his care for her was limited to playing game consoles with her.
"It seems that my worries about you losing control of your emotions are unnecessary. That's fine. That kind of villain has nothing to be remembered for."
Lu Mingfei saw that Eli Yi was in a normal mood, so he was about to get up and leave, and went downstairs to follow up on the progress of the Herzog investigation.
The character holding the gun on the screen fell to the ground with a "bang", the screen turned gray, and Eri Yi's little face showed a look of annoyance;
However, she did not continue to play the game. Instead, she put down the controller, picked up the pen beside her, spread out her notebook, and began to write in a rustling manner. After she finished writing, she spread it out to Lu Mingfei and her two brothers:
"He is not someone who is close to Eriki. Eriki doesn't like him. He sometimes looks at Eriki in a bad way. He also has a very unpleasant smell and a very noisy voice."
Very unpleasant smell? Very noisy? Lu Mingfei frowned slightly, thinking about the meaning.
Does it mean the devil? He subconsciously thought of the remnant soul of the All-Changing Demon Lord that was still alive.
Eri, who is protected by the power of faith, should have the sensitivity to sense chaos; and a heretic like Herzog who likes to play tricks is the target of the Almighty Demon Lord's instigation.
As for the question of whether Herzog is completely dead...
Even Minamoto Girl, who smashed and smashed his head with her own hands, couldn't answer.
Lu Mingfei was not afraid that Herzog would come back together with the devil, he just didn't want more innocent lives to be swept up in this heretical conspiracy.
"There is a new discovery." A new message came from the power helmet placed on the tatami. After simply saying "See you later" to Eriyi, Lu Mingfei quickly stood up and put on the helmet and left. Yuan Zhisheng and Yuan The young girl followed immediately.
Looking at the backs of the three people leaving the room, Eriki just pouted, picked up the controller and devoted herself to the game in front of her.
…
On the outskirts of Tokyo, the Yamazaka Shrine of the Sheki Hachi Family.
The pouring rain hit Lu Mingfei's power armor, and the splashing rainwater drew a beautiful parabola. The red light emitted from the helmet's eyepiece reflected the rainstorm like a waterfall of silver needles.
Caesar and Yuan Zhennu followed him, while Chu Zihang and Fingel stayed behind at Yuanji Heavy Industries; there was a convoy of dozens of cars on both sides of the mountain road, and men in black suits stood carrying long knives and loaded ammunition. Even in the rain, the atmosphere didn't dare to come out.
Except for the top leaders of the Sheki Hachi Family, most family members do not know the origins of these large Kamen Riders/Humanoid Mobile Suit Gundams; as well as the true identity of the current patriarch Masamune Nagatachibana.
In order to prevent the prestige of the top family members from being affected and the management of the family from being disrupted, the eight Sheqi families announced to the middle and lower-level members of the family that the current head of the family, Masamune Nagatachibana, fell ill in bed due to previous hard work day and night, and is now receiving treatment; The position of director is temporarily held by Yuan Zhisheng, director of the Executive Bureau.
In fact, the heads of the Sheqi Ba family wanted to drag Herzog out of hell and kill him a hundred times, including the senior leaders and members of the fierce ghosts who had been recruited by Minamoto Jingme;
This family has confirmed that Herzog specially selected some outstanding young people from the eight Sheqi families in order to balance the strength of the two families, and deliberately pushed them against the family by fabricating and degrading their bloodline files.
As long as you are not brainwashed too deeply by Herzog, or think that you are a pure blood descendant of the White King and want to transform into a pure blood dragon——
These members of the Fierce Ghosts had been eliminated when they showed hostility to Minamoto Girl. Most of the remaining people had no choice but to survive in the Fierce Ghosts, or they had become fierce because of their hatred and anger towards the Sheqi Eight Family. The ghosts work.
After a simple and direct spiritual baptism, the males among these people will be regarded as recruits with qualified bloodlines. After the trip to Japan is over, they will be packaged and sent back to the Sword of Revelation together with the hybrids selected by Sheqihachi's family. Legion undergoes reconstructive surgery.
Lu Mingfei estimated that about a thousand male recruits could be recruited from the Japanese branch this time... but this number was still too few for a legion of 100,000 people.
Although the clan shrine of the Sheqi Hachi Family is classic, it has been carefully renovated and does not feel dilapidated. The inner wall of the main hall is a circle of carefully painted Ukiyo-e paintings, decorated with phosphorus pigments. The eyes are bright and lifelike, as if the demons and ghosts are about to escape from the wall and continue the war. After the three heavily armored warriors stepped in, they seemed He shrunk his neck and did not dare to make a mistake.
This is the gathering place for the eight Sheqi families, but Lu Mingfei is not here to attend the gathering to discuss the future of the eight Sheqi families...
Guided by Minamoto's assistant Yabuki Sakura, the four of them came to the door of a secret hall of Herzog's shrine. The ancient vermilion door showed signs of being violently damaged.
"Young Master, you are here." Yuan Zhisheng's subordinates Crow and Yasha came forward. They also held a large flashlight in their hands, "There are no lights inside."
"Is there anything special here?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.
"Yes, this is Tachibana...Herzog's secret vault. Even the family priests don't know what is in this secret palace."
Crow said, and together with Yasha, he led Yuan Zhisheng and Lu Mingfei into the dark palace.
It’s hard to imagine that Herzog was actually a collector. Both sides of the dark hall were lined with shelves that were as high as the roof. The displays on the shelves were full of dazzling displays, ranging from Buddhist statues from the Nara period to classic erotic paintings, as well as mountains of simple threadwork. Rare and ancient books, seven or eight shelves filled with out-of-print vinyl records, several display walls filled with antique mechanical watches...
Although Caesar was once a noble prince with good taste and had a lot of research on collections, he could not feel any appreciation for these precious and expensive collections. He could only feel the naked collector behind them through these collections. Disgusting greed.
"What's in this box?" Yuan Zhisheng saw a wooden box placed on the table. He walked over and was about to open it when he was held down by the crow:
"Young master, please don't look at it...it's full of hair."
"Hair?" Yuan Zhisheng frowned.
"Yes, we took some of them back to the family for analysis and found that these hairs all belong to young and beautiful women. In the files of the Metropolitan Police, they are all missing persons who have been missing for several years."
Yuan Zhisheng felt his stomach twitch, and he felt like he wanted to vomit.
He remembered that he had read a book before, which said that cannibal tribes would cut off the heads of their prey as trophies. Herzog, that disgusting old man, must have cut off such a strand of women after such a primitive act. The hair is kept as a trophy, and then the opponent is brutally silenced.
"The most important written information is here." Yasha, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looked both like a knowledgeable white-collar worker and a polite scum. He shined the light of his flashlight on the bookcase and desk at the end of the dark hall - in fact, he didn't need to When the light was on, Lu Mingfei saw a large number of archives placed on the bookcase at the end when he entered the dark hall.
"He should also have stored some data files with the fierce ghosts. I have sent Xiaomu to lead people to dig out." Yuan Zhennu said.
Lu Mingfei nodded, walked to the bookcase and pulled out a dossier - Herzog seemed to have not been here for a while, and the surface of the dossier was covered with a thin layer of dust.
What is recorded in the dossier is information filled with terms, formulas, and symbols. Compared with the archive records that Lu Mingfei studied in the fantasy world of Black Swan Harbor, these information are much more profound and difficult to understand. I am afraid that someone must be in the field of dragon-related research. Only an expert on Herzog's level can quickly interpret this information.
But Lu Mingfei did not study the formulas and genetic symbols on the dossier carefully. After looking at the careless flipping through, he took off the dossier and the heavy gauntlets that wrapped his hands and put them aside, and took them out of the bookcase. Next file for faster and more efficient browsing.
"Is there important information and data recorded on it?" Caesar asked, and he also took out a dossier and read it attentively.
"The specific information and data should be brought to the alchemist, as this is his strong point," Lu Mingfei said calmly, "What I want to find out is how Herzog, the heretic, will continue his so-called 'ascension to godhood' plan when the White King has already turned into a dragon bone."
