Chapter 367 Chu Zihang: Brother Lu has become smarter!
In the spacious conference room, the long table was full of people.
From the end, except for Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini, most of them were elderly people.
At the last table, sat Lu Chen, Chu Zihang, and Lu Mingfei.
Originally, the committee invited everyone, but after hearing from Natsumi that there was an ice skating rink here, Eriki wanted to go and have a look, so all the girls team was dispatched.
Chu Tianjiao and Fingel left their residence early in the morning and wandered around somewhere unknown, and Lu Chen didn't shout.
"Junior brother, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Lu Chen patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder. Lu Mingfei looked like he was about to fall apart.
Lu Mingfei couldn't hide his sadness. He really didn't sleep well last night.
But he was absent-minded at the moment because of other things.
At the breakfast table, because of his father's inquiry and his trust in his parents, he confided a little bit about his feelings.
He knew that his parents were outstanding scholars in the dragon field, and he also hoped that his doubts could be solved.
But it's better not to ask, but this time he asked, something happened.
Maybe he really has a younger brother, and he is related to his father and clings to him.
Of course he couldn't say this to Senior Brother Lu at this time. The committee was about to start today's agenda.
"Mr. Lu, it's an honor to meet you. You are indeed the most outstanding dragon slayer in history, with extraordinary momentum."
The old scholar sitting at the head of the table spoke with a modest smile on his face, like a master full of wisdom, and like a kind old man who would tell you stories at the entrance of the village.
"Excellent."
Lu Chen nodded calmly, "Everyone invited us over, I think the result must have been achieved."
He went straight to the point, which caused the eyes of many committee members to change slightly, but their expressions remained calm.
The old scholar sighed, "Before we start the discussion about Gangnir, could you please Mr. Lu to listen to us tell us something?"
"Speaking."
Lu Chen wasn't that aggressive either.
"The war is about to begin. This safe haven is very important to humans. It is a war with the dragons, a full-scale war."
The old scholar looked serious.
Lu Chen said expressionlessly: "The war has started a long time ago, and I have already killed half of the Dragon Kings."
The old man wanted to persuade himself with the importance of a safe haven, so he explained the facts to the other party.
The old scholar shook his head, "Mr. Lu is very powerful, but this is our unilateral blitzkrieg and cannot be considered a full-scale war. Dragons are far more terrifying than you think."
Seeing that Lu Chen didn't interrupt, he continued: "They are not just cocoons buried underground or hidden in the seabed and Nibelung roots, waiting to hatch, or discovered by the secret party before hatching, and were discovered by Mr. Lu You deal with it, some dragons... they live in human society!"
He originally hoped to see a hint of surprise on Lu Chen's face, as well as curiosity about knowing this for the first time, but he saw nothing.
Lu Chen already knew that there might be a Dragon King among his companions. What's so surprising about this.
The old scholar could only continue to tell: "They hide in human society, and on the surface they educate humans, but in fact they just treat humans as their slaves. They hide very deeply, but every year there is a black hole in the total wealth of society, swallowing up A lot of wealth was taken away by those dragons."
"It may be stored in the bank in the form of money, or it may be turned into weapons and hoarded in the Nibelungs. We call those dragons the monarchs of the dark side of the world. They may not even be dragons, but they are related to the dragons. Something in common.”
Lu Chen perked up this time, "I seem to have seen such an organization before."
He was referring to the mixed-blood monarch organization controlled by Bondarev, which obviously conformed to the characteristics mentioned by the old scholar: secretive, wealthy, and powerful.
The old scholar nodded, "Yes, but Mr. Lu only saw one of them. The secret party and you may be able to deal with those stupid dragon kings, but there is no chance of winning against the monarchs from the dark side of the world. Human beings are the most difficult." It is not the things with wings and claws that will be defeated, but the enemy from within humanity.”
Seeing that Lu Chen was a little careless, he asked, "Mr. Lu, does he know how the war will start?"
Of course Lu Chen didn't know. He looked at Chu Zihang, meaning that we can't let these old stubborns underestimate us.
Chu Zihang continued: "Humanity is divided, regional conflicts, then conflicts between countries, and finally a world war. Hundreds of millions of people will die, the country will overdraw its national power, and the monarchs will take over secretly or openly. Power, running for president and stuff like that.”
He glanced at Lu Chen when he spoke. This was something the teacher taught in the sophomore class, but Brother Lu didn't go to class...
"They can also use super speech spirits to create regional disasters. Human beings are born with servility and will look forward to a powerful savior, and those monarchs are completely in line. They will step forward step by step and re-erect giant bronze pillars on the earth. , a new city was built around those pillars, humans worshiped the monarchs, and the world returned to the age of dragons.”
The old man praised: "As expected of the vice president of the Lion Heart Club and a top student of Kassel College."
This was the first time Lu Chen heard this. He wondered if it was not good for him to be absent from class all the time. This kind of course seemed to be useful...
This is a question he has never thought about before. What if the Dragon Clan doesn't fight against him?
The nuclear bomb wiped the ground. He could run, but he couldn't keep running.
Like that hybrid monarch organization, he has every reason to believe that the other party has a large number of satellites, even nuclear weapons, and weapons that span the ages!
"Times have changed. What is truly feared is not the four kings, but the monarchs from the dark side of the world. They use human methods to deal with humans, and it is easier to destroy them."
The old man sighed.
"It doesn't seem like the dragon clan I know anymore."
Lu Chen felt a little ridiculous. The dragons he had seen, no matter whether they were strong or weak, except for Fenrir, were all extremely arrogant and self-respecting dragons.
Even if those dragons are inferior to me in strength, they may look down on me and dare to kowtow to me.
And when it came to fighting, he had never seen a dragon retreating and escaping.
Odin doesn't count... He is not a dragon.
"Pure-blooded dragons will not die. They are constantly reincarnating. According to the secret party and our research, there are at least a hundred surviving next-generation species. But Mr. Lu, how many high-level ones have you killed in total?" Dragon Clan?”
The old man said slowly: "They are not still sleeping, but have already blended into humans."
"so what?"
Lu Chen asked back, he was not afraid of the next generation. If he thought about it carefully, it was impossible for the other party to hide and develop it to the extent that it could bomb him around the world.
The old man's expression was stagnant, "So... this war will definitely be lost, a safe haven is necessary, and then we will be humanity's last resort..."
Lu Chen let out a disdainful laugh and interrupted the old man's words, "I don't deny that human beings need a retreat, but I think the ice cellar under the college is enough. As for what you want to say next, old man, leave it alone. No matter how gorgeous it is now, , they are all deserters."
Yes, these people are all the elites of the mixed race, who could have contributed to slaying dragons, guarding the security of the world, or the development of mankind.
But they put their talents and time on how to create the ultimate "turtle shell".
Do humans need a retreat? Of course it is needed, but the ice cellar under the college is one of the shelters. The principal also said that many ice cellars similar to this have been built.
But what is the current situation in these places?
It’s all empty except for flora and fauna!
No one hides in before the war is lost!
The people in the academy, those passionate young people, have sacrificed a lot to slay the dragon and protect it.
Assuming that the war started and those people fought until the last minute and were defeated, they or their family members were the ones qualified to retreat to the refuge to continue.
And what about the doomsday sects?
Without those brave men fighting life and death outside, these man-made "shelters" might not have gone so well.
The battle hasn't started yet, but it seems that this group of people settled here more than ten years ago, claiming that they are the best kind of fire in mankind and have high-quality genes with high IQ.
Isn't this the thinking of "Fools fight to buy time, and we smart people can just finish building the house and hide"?
In the eyes of these people, the battle is bound to fail, and the death of those outside is in vain.
If humanity really perishes, they might praise themselves for their foresight, mourn for a few seconds, and then take up the banner of Adam and Eve, shoulder their "mission", and begin to perpetuate the new humanity.
Just thinking about it made Lu Chen feel disgusted.
If these people were all civilians with no fighting skills, Lu Chen thought it would be okay, but the key point was... there were really many elites inside.
At least on this table, he saw three S-class people besides Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini!
It’s no wonder that even though Lulincheng is of S-class blood, he can only be a secretary-general and is at the lower level of the committee.
At this time, Lu Chen's words angered many committee members present, and all of them looked unhappy.
They are well-educated people and rarely get angry.
But once such a person becomes angry, it can only mean that a sore spot has been touched.
Yes, no matter how nice it sounds, they are all deserters.
Flee without a fight, surrender without a fight.
Except for a few people present, most of them chose to join the Doomsday Sect because they did not want to set foot on the battlefield with the Dragon Clan.
Their timidity leads to pessimism, which leads them to believe that this war cannot be won.
And Lu Chen's appearance gave them a slap in the face, because this young man had already killed four first-generation species, and it seemed that he could kill the Dragon King... completely!
If someone else had said that, even Angers would have banged the table and refuted angrily, but when Lu Chen said this, they couldn't refute...
"Commissioner Lu, don't be so aggressive. Let's all be nice."
Lu Lincheng winked at the old scholar and motioned to talk to him instead, "In the final analysis, it's because of Gangnir..."
Lu Chen raised his hand and interrupted Lu Lincheng's words, "Uncle Lu, it's because of Junior Brother Lu that I can be so easy to talk to, but my patience is also limited. I will definitely take Gangnir away. If you want to get it again, A shelter that can be rebuilt is better than death."
Lu Chen's last words made everyone on the committee look ugly.
"Can I ask Mr. Lu to stay here?"
The old scholar asked, knowing that what Lu Chen said was that Odin would come to get the weapons.
Lu Chen shook his head, "In fifteen days, I will give you time to evacuate. If necessary, I can also negotiate with the secret party to help you relocate and resettle."
"Let us think about it for a few days."
The old scholar nodded heavily.
The light in Lu Chen's eyes flashed away, and under the unexpected looks of Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, he replied: "Okay."
Chu Zihang originally thought that Brother Lu was so strong today because he wanted to force the doomsday faction to give the results directly, but in the end he gave in, which puzzled him.
Lu Mingfei didn't know where to tilt the scales in his heart, but he also knew that Senior Brother Lu was right. Ganggnir staying here would definitely be a disaster.
What's more... He thought of the conversation at the dinner table this morning, and he doubted that the scene he saw in his dream was real.
After leaving the committee, Lu Chen took Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei back to his residence.
"Brother Lu actually extended some time?"
Chu Zihang couldn't help but ask.
Lu Chen glanced at Lu Mingfei, hesitated to speak, and finally shook his head and sighed, "It doesn't matter anymore."
Even though he was so tough and the stakes were clear, the committee still didn't want to hand over Gangnir, which proved that his previous suspicion was correct.
"Senior Brother Lu...can I ask you, what did you see when I went to see Gangnir with my father last night?"
Lu Mingfei asked hesitantly.
"Gangnir was thrust into a boy's chest, and he was the foundation of the Nibelungs."
Lu Chen still trusts the junior brother he brought out by himself. Anyway, this is just a secret of the doomsday sect and it doesn't matter to them.
When Lu Mingfei heard this, he stamped his feet and stood on the spot as if he was struck by lightning.
At this point, he no longer needed to ask Senior Brother Lu about the boy's detailed appearance. He was almost certain that the person nailed there was Lu Mingze.
It's strange to say that I have never met Lu Mingze several times, and the other person has only helped me twice, but when I learned the truth, I felt heartbroken and breathless, as if he was really my dearest brother.
"Junior brother, what's wrong?"
Lu Chen noticed that Lu Mingfei had not followed him, and turned around to see Lu Mingfei's face turned pale.
"No, nothing..."
Lu Mingfei felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, and he suddenly felt that he had made a mistake.
He shouldn't have told his parents about his dream. No one should have known about it!
Dad said that the little devil might have been passed on to him through him. In a sense, he did have an extra "brother."
Dad said that he could find a way to help him get rid of the "devil" that was pestering him, and he also said that he should not tell Senior Brother Lu about it yet.
But now... he suddenly doesn't want to get rid of the little devil. It's better to say that he didn't want to get rid of the little devil in the first place.
Although he didn't feel lonely, it was quite fun to see his younger brother who occasionally showed up to sell to him.
And he has so many friends such as Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Chu. Is Lu Mingze really... as he said, he is the only customer?
He must be... lonely too, right?
He felt that he needed to sort out his thoughts before deciding whether to exorcise the little devil. If he objected, would he have failed his father's wishes?
But before she went out, her mother quietly told herself that if she didn't want to, just tell her.
What should he do?
Should I ask Senior Brother Lu for help first? No, you can't rely on Senior Brother Lu for everything... I'll think about it again, think about it again.
Lu Chen glanced at Lu Mingfei and did not ask further, "Junior brother, how did you feel when you came home yesterday? Are you still used to it after not seeing your parents for so long?"
"Fortunately, I got to eat the food cooked by my mother for the first time in a long time."
Mentioning this, Lu Mingfei smiled again, but a little reluctantly.
Lu Chen gently patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder, "Junior brother, don't worry about business. It's hard to see your parents. Let's get along with them more. We have you as our brains, Senior Brother Chu, and Junior Sister Ling."
Lu Mingfei felt the encouragement from his senior brother Lu, and felt a little warm. He calmed down and said with a smile: "I know how much I weigh, and I am just a nanny. Senior brother, you do your business, I will go back... home first."
He suddenly realized that when he said the word "home", the first thing that came to mind was not his mother's place, but his aunt's shabby house.
"Well, Odin may come back. Keep the mask I gave you with you, keep your weapons away from you, and find a way to contact us if you need anything."
Lu Chen instructed.
"Senior Brother Lu, don't worry, I'm going to run very smoothly."
Lu Mingfei said that he was very conscious and would not be tough with someone who is like a god. "Then I'll leave first. See you tomorrow."
Lu Chen's face darkened as he watched Lu Mingfei's figure walk away.
"Brother Lu?"
Chu Zihang felt that Brother Lu was a little strange today.
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
Lu Chen glanced at the people walking on the street and said calmly.
The two of them returned to the hut, checked again, and only started talking after confirming that there was no eavesdropping device.
Lu Chen sat on the bed and took a sip of water, "Brother Chu is very confused as to why I asked junior brother to go back directly? He obviously doesn't look right."
"Junior brother has a secret. It can be seen from his spirit. He may have learned something related to his life experience from his parents..."
Chu Zihang thought for a while, "Maybe he found out that he is not his biological child? Maybe he is a Dragon King?"
Of course he could detect things that Lu Chen could deduce. Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei were both suspicious, but because he observed more carefully, in his opinion, their suspiciousness index was five stars, which was almost the same. .
"Oh? That's not what I meant."
Lu Chen waved his hand, "Although he probably knows something about his life experience, it can be seen that junior brother is still very attached to his parents."
He paused and continued: "...I asked him to go back because everything here...is false!"
Lu Chen's words were surprising, and Chu Zihang looked at Lu Chen suspiciously, and even came closer, "Brother Lu, what brand is the first sportswear we gave you?"
Lu Chen understood what Chu Zihang meant and laughed angrily: "Adidas! I'm not fake. Can't I be smart once in a while?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed in Chu Zihang's eyes, "I didn't mean that."
But in fact, he was really shocked just now that Lu Chen actually deduced a certain possible truth before him.
Lu Chen didn't care anymore, "I don't know if Brother Chu felt it, but when Eryi and I first came in, we noticed something was wrong. It was as if we and the things around us had become unreal. .”
Chu Zihang pondered slightly, "There is indeed a certain sense of violation. At first, I just thought it was because I entered the Nibelungs."
Lu Chen looked serious: "I suspect that we entered here in a special state, just like...entering a dream."
The review will be held tomorrow and the holes will be filled in┗(▔,▔)┛
