Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei, Starting as a Seeker of the Law

Chapter 31 The Choice of Jiudeya

Akira Shuto's face was tense, her shoulder-length white hair fluttering in the wind, and in her hand a metallic pistol was emitting a faint smoke.

At this moment, the air was eerily still.

"Ye Sheng! How are you?"

Staring at the scaly creature before him, Shudeya dared not turn around, fearing that the dragon-blooded creature opposite him might come and ambush him.

"Cough, I'm fine, just be careful."

Ye Sheng's voice came from behind, and Jiu Deyaji's heart, which had been in her throat, suddenly calmed down.

Just now, Ye Sheng, who was originally in charge of forward guard duty, was knocked away by a creature that suddenly appeared. As a field agent of the Kassel Executive Department, Shudeya almost immediately pulled out the standard weapon that had been distributed to him.

Then, empty the magazine!

Shudeya knew how troublesome the dragon-blooded creatures were, but she didn't expect to take them down with just a few shots. Those shots were just ordinary steel bullets, and given the dragon-blooded creature's physical strength, a few shots were just tickling it.

And the situation on the field is exactly as Shotoku Aki predicted. The creature that was shot several times is slowly getting up, not because the injury is too serious, but because the bullets contained trace amounts of mercury.

Mercury has a special restraining effect on dragon bloodlines. When a bullet enters a living being's body, the mercury vapor released after the bullet explodes will cause the victim to suffer from mercury poisoning.

Anyone from the execution department who goes out on a mission will receive these bullets to facilitate the execution of the mission by the execution specialists.

"No, at this speed, the opponent will adapt very quickly."

As Shudeya reloaded his gun and fired at his opponent, he glanced at Ye Sheng, who was struggling to get up behind him, with anxious eyes.

According to the original training from the Executive Department, when a two-person team encounters this situation, they should immediately abandon their incapacitated partner and move out of and control the dragon blood creature's activity area.

This is not only for the safety of the commissioner, but also to control the out-of-control dragonblood creatures and prevent them from causing further casualties.

That's what they say, but Aki's slender legs didn't move an inch. She just stood there quietly, futilely changing bullets and stalling for time.

Meanwhile, in the distance, a figure dressed in a black leather jacket sat on a treetop, her fingers covering her ears, and she was broadcasting live updates about the scene.

"Aren't you going to help?"

"Should I go?" The long-legged girl sat on the tree, looking at the determined-looking Shudeya, her voice calm.

"This was her choice, and in her eyes, I was already a dead man. How can a dead man save someone?"

"That's your own sister." On the other end of the earpiece, the girl with the potato chips wasn't munching on potato chips; she was buried in a cushion. "Even if there's no blood relation, there's still blood ties, right? Aren't you really planning to go up and help? Even if you're hiding your identity, she still uses your graduation photo as a memorial portrait and worships it often."

Long-legged, or rather, Mai, the one with the long legs, listened silently as the potato chip girl finished speaking. "I know, in her two roles as a sister and a Kassel commissioner, she is already a mature Kassel commissioner."

"What's the difference?" the potato chip girl asked, puzzled.

"If she were my sister, she should have run away by now. Although it would be heartbreaking to leave her partner behind, running away is a basic human instinct. If she had run away, I would have stopped the pursuit," Mai looked at the stubborn figure. "But she didn't run. She's trying her best to save her partner. She cares about that man even more than herself."

Chip Girl fell silent. She stared at the computer screen, watching the two green dots gradually approach each other, and sighed.

"Alright, I know you won't make a move, now someone who can will."

As the two were talking, Aki Shuto ran out of bullets. She looked at the person in front of her, threw down her gun, turned and helped the dazed Ye Sheng, who was struggling to his feet, to his feet, then pulled out the gun from his waist...

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

Old Tang and Lu Mingfei peeked out from behind the tree, and Old Tang exclaimed in surprise at the scene before him.

"Isn't it said that guns are banned in China?" Old Tang's gaze focused on the gun in Jiu Deya's hand. "Then what's this? It's a custom-made one!"

With his keen eye, he could naturally tell that the gun was not a regular type of gun that could be seen on the streets of America; it was definitely custom-made or modified!

"Didn't you say you've hardly ever used a gun?" Lu Mingfei asked suspiciously.

Old Tang's eyes widened as he pointed to the dark, glowing gun barrel.

"Did you know what? The caliber of these guns on the streets of America is only a third of this size! Even if I were half asleep, I wouldn't mistake it!"

Lu Mingfei pursed his lips, his gaze fixed on Jiu Deya's face, then looked at Ye Sheng, who was being helped up by her.

Japanese people paired with Chinese people?

In this small town where he had lived for more than a decade, he had only ever seen this combination in videos at internet cafes.

"They have guns and they're accompanied by foreigners," Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

Could it be... Kassel College?

Thinking this, Lu Mingfei took out his phone and dialed Chu Zihang's number.

"What is it?" Chu Zihang's voice was as crisp as ever.

"Did Kassel send anyone else to us?"

"What?"

"It's a combination of a Chinese man and a Japanese woman. The Chinese man has short black hair, and the Japanese woman has white hair. Do you remember them? They seem to be in trouble," Lu Mingfei described their appearances.

Chu Zihang called out their names almost immediately.

"Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya!? Where are you now?"

"........."

With a thud, Chu Zihang hung up the phone before Lu Mingfei could answer. Realizing something was wrong, Chu Zihang immediately turned on GPS to locate Lu Mingfei.

To handle any unforeseen circumstances, Chu Zihang installed a GPS tracker in the phone he gave to Lu Mingfei.

"Kitayama?"

Half a minute before Chu Zihang was about to leave, while Lu Mingfei was describing the two men's appearances on the phone, Dragon Blood Creatures had completely adapted to the mercury poisoning caused by the bullet.

As it adapts, the dragon's blood is activated, and the scales on its body become even harder.

"Ding... Ding..."

The bullet, which could have penetrated the body directly, was deflected by the hardened scales, and the thing that had been breathing softly suddenly roared loudly.

Only then did everyone realize what kind of creature it was. It wasn't a human, but a monkey that resembled a human!

So even monkeys can be affected by dragon blood?

Before Lu Mingfei could even begin to complain, as if enraged by the bullets or influenced by Lao Tang's special constitution, he suddenly went berserk like a wild beast.

He charged straight toward the distant Shotoku Aki who had fired the shot.

Wounded beasts go berserk, let alone the Dragonblood Monkey, which was barely injured in the gunshot wound.

Jiu Deya's pupils contracted; the bullet ricocheted off her scaly arm, sparks flying. It was too fast; she only had time to push Ye Sheng aside—

Just as she had predicted, the other party chose the gunman over Ye Sheng, who was incapacitated, and the girl who had been harming him.

"Is this the end?"

"Aki!" Ye Sheng, who had been in a daze since being injured, fell to the ground and regained consciousness. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Aki and the fierce figure that was about to reach him.

【Word of Power: The Serpent of the Vacuum】

His face turned deathly pale almost instantly, as the Vacuum Serpent could only control its own bioelectric energy.

He was now immobilized, and the only thing he could do was rely on his incantation, but it wasn't an offensive incantation. Even if he nearly drained himself, the current he could condense was only the size of a palm. There was only one solution:

The vacuum snake is shot into the opponent's brain, directly attacking the opponent's brain cells.

"What...thing?"

But just after the Vacuum Serpent was launched, due to the inherent probing properties of the Word of Power, he suddenly sensed something beyond his sight, in a place he couldn't see...

Something... is coming!
