Chapter 49 It Seems Like an Old Friend Has Arrived
Lu Mingfei wanted to shove Fen Gou, who was trying to sabotage him, into the water, but all three of them suddenly stopped moving.
It wasn't because they suddenly wanted to perform a synchronized water ballet or something, but because they heard a long, drawn-out sound.
"Brother—Brother—"
"Oh my god! A ghost is here!!!"
Old Tang immediately looked at Fingel in a panic, hoping that this guy who had just come up with the idea would come up with some new ideas.
Before Fingel could speak, Lu Mingfei jumped up, went to the edge of the pool, soaked his clothes in water, and put them on.
"A true man is born between heaven and earth! How can he live a life of subservience to others? I've run enough of this! Why should I avoid its sharp edge? I want to see just how powerful this dragon really is! I'll hold it off! You two run!"
"Good brother! Loyal to me!!"
"Fengxian... no, Mingfei!! Rest in peace. I will offer incense for you every year on this day!"
Old Tang and Fen Gou don't have the kind of bond that's typical in anime where they stick together and never leave. Of course, you could say it's an anime, but it's more like Gintama. These two run away incredibly fast and disappear in the blink of an eye.
However, both of them were very loyal and gave their equipment to Lu Mingfei. Old Tang had a shotgun, and Fen had a PPK. You have no idea why this guy would carry a gun even when picking up takeout at night.
But then I remembered that this guy was from the news department, and everything suddenly made sense.
He held the guns in both hands, cautiously watching the doorway. Although he spoke in a boastful manner, he was still somewhat wary of the Charizard that was unleashing its powerful Flamethrower.
The main issue is that I have some PTSD related to fire meteor showers. When I was with Yuan Shu, I was bombarded by Cao Cao's fire meteor showers, and when I was with Cao Cao, I was bombarded by Zhou Yu's fire meteor showers.
Although his fire resistance is very high, it doesn't stop Lu Mingfei from getting a headache whenever he sees fire.
This is an indoor swimming pool in the sports center next to the church. Lu Mingfei stood in the corner, nervously watching the entrance and exit.
His marksmanship is excellent; he only needs two shots to the body and one to the head. Even the King of Hell would shake his head in disbelief...
"Use Friga bullets! The opponent is the King of Bronze and Fire! Normal metal ammunition has no effect on him!"
..........
Lu Mingfei checked the ammunition of the two guns. The shotgun was useless, but the PPK from the Findog was filled with tranquilizer darts. He wondered what effect it would have on the Dragon King.
The Benevolent Twin Swords are clearly not very useful anymore; how come there are enemies that are immune to metal?
Lu Mingfei tore off a piece of his long robe, soaked it in water, and used it as a makeshift glove.
"Brother—Brother—"
The soul-calling sound grew closer and closer. Lu Mingfei could clearly feel the indoor temperature rising rapidly. The water in the pool began to change from cold to warm, and even wisps of steam began to rise.
The sound came from the entrance of the swimming pool. Lu Mingfei set up his PPK, and the three points were aligned. Although he didn't play FPS games much, no one dared to compare with him in terms of design skills!
"Come on, the moment you peek out, the bullet will pierce your eye first."
Steam began to rise, and if someone were to enter now, they would probably mistake this place for a public bathhouse rather than a swimming pool.
Lu Mingfei lives in a coastal city in the south.
He had only heard about bathhouses from Northeastern netizens in online chat rooms, where people would bathe and soak in steamy rooms.
The pool has been soaked by countless people, so like Cthulhu, it can only be viewed from afar and not examined closely.
Lu Mingfei felt that seeing everyone walking around with guns was a very subtle thing.
Unfortunately, he's now also armed, but with a proper gun, ready at any moment to blast away the golden eyes emerging from the steam...
The footsteps grew closer, and Lu Mingfei was already poised to strike. As soon as someone entered, he would—wait, what?
To Lu Mingfei's surprise, all that walked in was a handsome young man.
He was probably only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a small face, light eyebrows, and clear, even black eyes, but he was extremely thin and had a pale complexion.
Logically speaking, Lu Mingfei should have been shot dead. After all, they were all tranquilizer darts, so there was no fear of harming innocent people.
But he didn't make a move. He just stared blankly at the other party. If this were the Twisted Three Kingdoms, his deputy would definitely find it hard to believe that the decisive and ruthless General Lu had ever hesitated like this.
But Lu Mingfei hesitated. He looked at the boy, and the boy stared back at him blankly.
Finally, Lu Mingfei walked towards the other person while muttering something to himself.
"...Kang'er? How could this be? Is this clairvoyance?"
This is impossible and should not be. Although he is often startled by the events that happen in the distorted Three Kingdoms, Lu Mingfei has never seen anything of this magnitude.
While it's possible that there are two people in this world who are practically identical, this is far too much of a coincidence.
How could the boy in front of him look exactly like Lu Kang, the son he had with Princess Qinghe in the Twisted Three Kingdoms?
He frowned deeply, walked over in a daze, and wanted to reach out and touch the other person's face, but the other person resisted and took a step back to avoid him.
The other person's eyes revealed a complex emotion, which Lu Mingfei couldn't quite put his finger on—fear? disgust? familiarity? Lu Mingfei couldn't say.
He took off his coat and tried to put it on the other boy, but the boy just looked at him and said something.
"I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see my brother. Have you seen him?"
"Which brother are you talking about?"
"I only have one older brother... I have to find him..."
Lu Mingfei felt embarrassed by the brother he had blurted out, after all, it was just that he looked like him, not that he was really his son.
But after thinking about it, he put his coat on the other person and then spoke.
"Anyway, let's put on some clothes first. How about I help you find your brother?"
"No... Could you please stay away from me? I'm scared."
Lu Mingfei looked completely bewildered. What could he possibly have that could frighten this child in front of him?
From an angle unknown to Lu Mingfei, in the child's view, Lu Mingze was like a ghost clinging to Lu Mingfei's shoulder, staring at him with a ferocious expression.
"Wow!"
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Well, thankfully, Lu Mingfei worked under Boss Cao back in the day, so he has plenty of experience dealing with people who are easily startled.
Reflexively raising his hand to block, Lu Mingfei felt a tingling pain in his arm, followed by the sight of the scenery in front of him rapidly receding in a continuous line.
"boom!"
After smashing through the three walls behind him, Lu Mingfei's retreat slowed down. After taking a few steps back, he stood firmly on the ground.
He should have taken a few more steps back, but someone caught him steadily.
"Um... thank you... Principal?!"
His words of gratitude turned to surprise, because Lu Mingfei discovered that the strong arm that caught him came from a dashing and handsome old man.
Lu Mingfei quickly took two steps forward and, upon recognizing the other person, blurted out some nonsense in a moment of nervousness.
"Ah, Principal, you look even more alluring than in the video."
Principal Angers smiled slightly at the other party's words and replied.
"Thank you for your praise, Mingfei. I've been looking for you."
