Dragon Raja: I practiced Naruto ninjutsu next to Lu Mingfei.

"Because Sakura-sensei has eyes like a lion," Kazama Ruri said with a smile.

“I think the lion might disagree with your assessment,” Caesar asked. “Did you need something from us?”

"I would like to invite the three of you, as well as classmate Gu Ran, to attend my Kabuki performance tomorrow night." Kazama Ruri presented Caesar with a bouquet of tulips, along with a plain-colored envelope.

The envelope contained four invitations, three of which featured images of the three noble children from Japanese mythology: Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo.

Another image depicts a woman with two faces, namely Izanami.

"Interesting, is this a performance of 'Kojiki'?" Gu Ran asked, taking the four invitations.

"It seems that Gu is quite knowledgeable about Japanese culture." Kazama Ruri smiled. "I will be performing in 'The New Kojiki,' and I look forward to everyone's presence tomorrow night."

The Kojiki is the first written dictionary in the history of Japan and one of the earliest literary works in Japan. This book mainly tells the founding myth of Japan.

Ruri Kazama will likely be playing the roles of Izanagi and Izanami, the brother and sister who gave birth to the gods. Later, Izanami went to the Land of the Dead and became incredibly ugly. Izanagi, missing her, went to visit her but was terrified by her ugliness and fled back to the surface.

Later, when Izanagi was bathing in the river, she gave birth to Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo. The first two were goddesses, while Susanoo was a god.

The story that follows is a bit complicated, so I won't go into it for now. And since it's a "Newly Compiled Kojiki," the ending must have some innovative parts.

Caesar and Chu Zihang huddled up to Gu Ran and glanced at the invitation. They both felt that the painting on the invitation bore a striking resemblance to the one they had seen in the mural hall the night before.

“Yuan Zhinu, Yuan Zhisheng…” Gu Ran looked at the signature on the invitation, which read ‘Yuan Zhinu’.

He asked knowingly, "You two aren't brothers, are you?"

"Gu really does see through everything," Kazama Ruri didn't deny. "I look forward to the four of you gracing us with your presence tomorrow night."

After saying that, Kazama Ruri walked away leisurely.

Caesar and Chu Zihang exchanged a glance. They hadn't expected him to be the tortoise's brother, but hadn't the tortoise said before that his brother was dead?

At this moment, Gu Ran handed the invitation to Chu Zihang and Caesar, and pointed out the seal on it.

The seal features a dragon and the Chinese character for "ghost," which is the symbol of the Fierce Ghost Clan.

"The game in Japan is getting more and more chaotic," Chu Zihang said. "More and more forces are appearing, and it seems that the people behind the scenes are gradually coming to the fore."

“Then we’ll keep our appointment tomorrow.” Caesar hadn’t expected the Ghosts to make their appearance in this way.

Although they didn't know what the other party's purpose was, they weren't afraid.

"I'm not free tomorrow," Gu Ran said, holding Su Xiaoqiang's hand. "I've made plans to go to Disneyland with my girlfriend, and I promised to take her to buy a limited edition Minnie Mouse bow."

"Minnie Mouse is Mickey Mouse's girlfriend?" Caesar said. "You can easily buy limited edition items on eBay, is it really necessary to go out of your way to buy them?"

Gu Ran retorted, "According to you, photos from all over the world can be found on the internet. Is it really necessary for you to have the student council send postcards of local scenery to Nuonuo to make her happy?"

Caesar opened his mouth, then finally nodded: "You have a point."

Su Xiaoqiang stood on tiptoe and whispered in Gu Ran's ear, "If you need anything, you don't have to worry about me..."

"Something's up, I really have something to do at Disneyland," Gu Ran said.

Su Xiaoqiang pouted and smiled. She thought to herself that he must have said he had something to do on purpose so that he could play with her. What could possibly happen at Disneyland? It's all about having fun!

Just then, the phone rang. After answering it, Fujiwara Kansuke said to Caesar, "Someone is looking for you. It sounds like Sakura's voice."

Caesar took the phone, and Lu Mingfei slyly gave him an address, telling him to keep quiet and come over quickly so he would understand.

……

In a small hotel in Shinjuku, five people huddled by the window, looking at a five-story building not far away.

"I say, this place is way too far from the target!" Caesar's telescope was bought from a roadside stall; the magnification was mediocre, and the clarity was poor.

He continued, "Wouldn't it be better to go to that capsule hotel? It's close and cheap!"

Gu Ran said, "Hotels in Japan charge per person. If you book a room and squeeze five people in, you'll only be charged for five people. Besides, capsule hotels are often frequented by budget backpackers from Europe and America. Those backpackers don't like to shower and have blood-sucking lice on their bodies. We men are thick-skinned and it doesn't matter, but Xiao Qiang is here too. Why squeeze into a capsule hotel!"

Chapter 437 Observing Erii

"I don't understand!" Lu Mingfei asked Su Xiaoqiang, "Little Fairy, what are you doing here?"

"I heard you brought a woman back with you. I need to see if she's blind, that she'd follow you like this!" Su Xiaoqiang nestled in Gu Ran's arms, staring at the windowsill. She couldn't see much, though, because it was quite far from there.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "The one I brought back isn't blind, he's just mute..."

Gu Ran took out a high-powered telescope that he had prepared beforehand from his bag and handed it to Caesar.

"How come you have all kinds of equipment!" Caesar took the telescope, set it up on the windowsill, and then handed the telescope to Chu Zihang.

"I got the equipment through connections," Gu Ran said.

In fact, all of these equipment were stored in the spirit talisman by Gu Ran, including Caesar's previous mercury core blunt gold armor-piercing bullet, which was also equipment he had prepared.

Logically, EVA, the academy's secretary, should have hacked into the US military base in Japan while at the Mambo Internet Cafe and sent a batch of airdrop crates, but she failed to do so because of Gu Ran's intervention.

However, Gu Ran carried a lot of spirit talismans, so he had enough equipment. If he needed more, he could ask Su Enxi and the others for more.

Gu Ran took out another pair of binoculars and showed them to Su Xiaoqiang, who was peering into his arms.

Seeing that everyone else had equipment, Lu Mingfei looked at Gu Ran and asked, "What about me?"

Gu Ran said, "You're already sleeping in the same room as her, and you can count her eyelashes up close every night. What do you need binoculars for?"

“I…” Lu Mingfei was speechless. He really wanted to lie in bed and count the eyelashes of the person he liked, but that person was the head of the Uesugi family of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, a monster!

Su Xiaoqiang happily observed through binoculars, looking at the pretty girl sitting quietly by the French windows: "Wow, this girl is quite pretty!"

Even Su Xiaoqiang had to admit that Uesugi Erii was a little beauty. Her face was so pretty it looked like a porcelain doll. She had a slender and tall figure and fair skin that was practically glowing. The only problem was that she rarely showed any facial expressions, making her seem a bit lifeless.

"Wow, Lu Mingfei!" Su Xiaoqiang exclaimed, patting Lu Mingfei on the shoulder. "You actually managed to lure such a beautiful girl to a love hotel! Your ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke!"

Erii's room was clearly decorated as a love hotel, with three sets of costumes hanging on the wall, all designed to add spice to the relationship between couples. Next to the bed was a large bathtub. It seems that the decorations of love hotels all over the world are pretty much the same.

"I...I was taken hostage, okay? I'm a hostage!" Lu Mingfei shouted as he explained. "And it wasn't me who brought her to the love hotel, she brought me here! We were dumped in Dongdaemun, and it was raining, so we had to find a place to stay!"

Lu Mingfei and Erii escaped from Genji Heavy Industries by helicopter. Su Enxi arranged for a helicopter to take them to Dongdaemun and then let them leave on their own.

Beside Erii was a large coffee table, covered with the toys she had brought with her: Ultraman and monsters, Rilakkuma and Rubber Duck, as well as Buzz Lightyear and Master Yoda...

"Isn't this just a crossover universe?" Caesar exclaimed, holding up his binoculars. "But Lu Mingfei is really amazing. He actually managed to lure such a monster out of the Snake Clan. He deserves a lot of credit!"

"...Stop complaining. I haven't slept all night. I'm exhausted. I just hope you won't talk nonsense when you go back to school!" Lu Mingfei didn't want to explain anymore. It really wasn't him who tricked them out.

"Don't worry, I won't tell Nuonuo that you've grown up so fast," Gu Ran said with a smile. "But Nuonuo will definitely feel very gratified that her little brother has finally grown up and is now able to go after the cabbages."

Lu Mingfei was startled. He was really afraid that Nuonuo would find out about this, and was about to stammer an explanation.

Caesar looked at him with a knowing look that all men understand: "Alright, stop explaining. Even if a beautiful girl drags me into a hotel, I won't sleep a wink all night."

Chu Zihang's binoculars were rather poor, so he could only vaguely see Erii stand up, take off her shrine maiden clothes, revealing her fair skin and black lace underwear.

Caesar was taken aback. He adjusted the magnification of the telescope and asked as he looked, "What is she going to do?"

"Obviously, he wants to take a shower!" Su Xiaoqiang went over and confiscated Caesar's telescope, then looked at Chu Zihang, who voluntarily handed it over and even drew the curtains.

Nobody has anything to watch anymore.

But Gu Ran had X-ray vision, so he took a few more glances before Su Xiaoqiang forcefully chopped off his head and raised her fair fist in front of him.

She knew he could see through things.

Gu Ran had no choice but to turn his back to the window to prove his innocence.

But the white eye has a 360-degree field of vision... Forget it, I'd better not look. Although it's said that one shouldn't be polite to a friend's wife... no, it's that one shouldn't deceive her, because those who commit adultery with other people's wives and daughters will also have their own wives and daughters defiled. This is the cycle of karma and retribution, and it must not be allowed!

“I think she trusts you quite a bit,” Chu Zihang said to Lu Mingfei. “For her, taking off her clothes is just a step before taking a bath, there’s nothing shameful about it. It’s just that you and she are under the same roof, it’s too much of a shock for you.”

“Exactly, how can you maintain your composure in the long run!” Caesar teased Lu Mingfei from the side.

“Your faces are as red as baboons’ butts, I really…” Lu Mingfei wanted to argue a bit more, but Su Xiaoqiang ruthlessly interrupted him.

She said, "Lu Mingfei doesn't have the guts. Let alone this young lady being so beautiful, he wouldn't dare to make a move on Chen Wenwen, who is less attractive."

"I..." Lu Mingfei thought to himself, is it really okay for you to make fun of Chen Wenwen like this?

Although Chen Wenwen's looks are not as good as Nuonuo, Xiaotiannv, Ling, and Erii, they are still high school classmates!

Gu Ran looked at them and said, "It seems that she is not a monster, but just a naive young girl."

Caesar and Chu Zihang both nodded slightly. They had both seen Erii create an iceberg field out of thin air before, and use the Word of Judgment to mercilessly kill the Dead Servants.

Now it seems she's just a young girl, and the terrifying atmosphere is instantly dispelled by the erotic fantasies from just now.

"How old is she?" Caesar asked.

"Twenty-one years old," Lu Mingfei replied.

“She’s a year younger than Su Xiaoqiang, but looks like a first-grade high school girl,” Gu Ran said. “Her mental age is too young, even younger than a kindergarten child.”

Chu Zihang asked Lu Mingfei, "Did you ask for a room?"

"How could I dare!" Lu Mingfei sighed. "Those waiters all looked at me with envy and jealousy when they saw me checking into a room with a beautiful woman, but I really just played games with her all night!"

"I told you you're a coward, a wimp!" Su Xiaoqiang complained to Lu Mingfei.

“That’s a monster, it’s terrifying!” Lu Mingfei shouted back.

“But she trusts you a lot,” Chu Zihang said. “She’s new to the outside world and needs someone she trusts to be with her.”

Lu Mingfei had told everyone about Erii's living environment: an old-fashioned wooden house set up in a high-rise building, obviously demolished from an old house. This indicated that Erii's mental state was unstable, she could not adapt to the external environment, and she might lose control at any time.

Therefore, the Snake Clan tried their best to keep her in a static room and prevent her from contacting the outside world, so as to avoid her losing control.

"How pitiful..." Su Xiaoqiang said with some sympathy, "She must have been locked up for many years. No wonder she likes watching birds so much. I think she must yearn to be a free bird and be able to fly freely."

Before, Erii looked out the window and saw birds flying freely outside, and seagulls that had mistakenly flown into the city to explore.

Everyone fell silent, because Su Xiaoqiang's words were somewhat heavy. They all guessed that Erii had probably been besieged for many years, which was why she ran away from home.

The yearning for freedom and the desire to explore the outside world have always been human instincts.

Gu Ran broke the silence: "Eri's abilities are probably comparable to Jormungandr's. I think her abilities are already at the level of a next-generation species. Word of Power: Judgment is to deprive life in the domain. It is a rare 'killing order' type of Word of Power."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, glanced at Gu Ran, and then looked at Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang nodded expressionlessly, agreeing with Gu Ran's words: "Jormungandr's advantage is learning and imitation, which is why it is so similar to humans, but in terms of power, it does not reach the level of the Dragon King, at most it is a second-generation species."

“But even the strongest member of the Snake Clan, Kougen Chisei, is not as capable as Erii,” Caesar said.

Chu Zihang thought for a moment: "The only explanation is... Erii is a demon, the strongest and most uncontrollable demon!"

"A ghost?" Caesar and Lu Mingfei were both stunned.
