Chapter 209: Killing around the corner?

锑？
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. He never expected to hear this word in the little angel’s grandmother’s house.

The development of things here is just like triggering a key main quest when playing an RPG game. Every time you go to a new place and meet a new NPC, you can trigger the keywords of the quest.

He pricked up his ears and heard the sound of water splashing outside the door. Bettina and another female voice were still talking.

"What is this thing you took down?" asked Bettina.

"Are you asking about this? This is called an 'Omamori', a talisman from our hometown. It can be worn on the wrist or around the neck. My mother asked for this talisman for me and my sister when we were young, one for each of us. I heard that we were going on a mission this time, so I brought this talisman with me. Because the talisman will be damaged if it gets wet, I have to wash my hands after taking it off."

"So that's how it is - by the way, do you have enough people to investigate?" Bettina asked.

"That's enough. You have already done the preliminary work of collecting information for us, so the subsequent tracking task will be relatively simple. There are not many companies in Portugal, and most of them are located in Lisbon. We can handle it." said another girl.

"Well, as long as we have enough manpower. Because our family has other things to deal with recently, we can't spare any manpower for you for the time being."

"It's okay, it's okay. You don't have to be so polite. We are the ones who are bothering you in the first place..."

The sound of the faucet being tightened was heard, and then the conversation and footsteps faded away. Lu Mingfei waited for two or three minutes, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no one outside.

I didn't expect that I would get something else from accidentally entering the women's restroom. Lu Mingfei really didn't expect that the little goddess's cousin was actually related to the "antimony" incident.

No, it should not just be Bettina. Listening to the conversation between the two people just now, it seems that Bettina and her entire family are involved in this matter.

Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered the photo of the little girl's mother that he saw in her bedroom. In the photo, the little girl's mother was wearing a brooch with the Lionheart Club logo.

To be able to enter the Lionheart Club, one's bloodline must be high. Xia Mi also said that the bloodline of the little angel could reach B grade. Considering that the father of the little angel may not have any dragon bloodline, then to be able to have a daughter with B grade bloodline, the bloodline of the little angel's mother must be at least A grade.

Could it be that... the family of the little angel's mother is actually a mixed-race family?
"Damn, why do I feel like these things are chasing me?" Lu Mingfei murmured.

Although he knew that it was his destiny to slay dragons, he had not been exposed to the world of mixed-bloods until he joined Kassel Academy in his previous life. It was too early for these things to happen in this life. Damn, he was only in the first year of high school and had just found a beautiful girlfriend, and he hadn't had time to have a deeper communication with her.

But now was obviously not the time to think about these things. Now that Bettina and the others had left, he seized the opportunity and slipped out of the women's restroom without being noticed.

He pushed open the door of the compartment, poked his head out and looked around, and walked out only after making sure that no one was outside. Then he walked to the door carefully and was about to rush out when he bumped into the person at the door.

"おっと(ouch)!"

This sound certainly didn't come from Lu Mingfei. No matter how hard Lu Mingfei was hit, he wouldn't utter the Neon language, so the person who shouted this sentence could only be the person who was hit by Lu Mingfei.

The collision was too sudden. Even Lu Mingfei was knocked back two steps. He staggered and just stood up, and saw a girl in a dress sitting on the ground like a duck in a Japanese cartoon, with her head down, rubbing her buttocks in pain.

Lu Mingfei's heart sank. He didn't expect that he would be caught by someone. Based on his experience in his previous life, every time he accidentally entered the women's restroom, he would be caught alive at the door. It seemed that this time would not be spared.

But before worrying about social death, it is obviously more important to help others get up first.

Lu Mingfei didn't think too much and quickly leaned over and extended his hand to the girl. However, the moment the girl raised her head, Lu Mingfei was suddenly stunned.

For a moment, Lu Mingfei felt as if he had returned to that morning many years ago when he was interviewing at the Regent Hotel. When he entered the door, he said "I bow" in very unstandard Japanese to the Japanese girl in the Kassel Academy girls' uniform.

The Japanese girl just covered her mouth and smiled gently, then used standard Neon language "おはよう" to correct Lu Mingfei's Neon language with a Henan accent. When she smiled, she looked as kind as an older sister.

Before Lu Mingfei could say anything, the other party had already spoken.

"Sumi-ma-sen (I'm sorry), Eto (that)... No, it should be in Chinese... I'm sorry, I was a little anxious just now, I'm sorry to have bumped into you." The girl held Lu Mingfei's hand and stood up.

"Drinking ethics...Aki?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.

He didn't have much contact with Aki Sado, except for the interview and the time when he was admitted, when Professor Guderian invited him and his uncle's family to dinner at the Regent Hotel. That was also the day when he mistakenly entered the women's restroom for the first time and met Nono for the first time.

Then, Finkel told him that the death list of the Three Gorges mission was released, and then he saw the two cold names of Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki on the message board. That was also the first time he truly felt the cruelty of the dragon world.

Jiude Aki was also visibly stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Mingfei in surprise, "You... know me?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned. Just now, he saw a person who should have died a long time ago suddenly appear in front of him vividly. He was stunned for a moment and called out her name subconsciously. Only then did Lu Mingfei realize that he should not know her at this point in time. Before Lu Mingfei could think of an excuse to cover up this matter, Bettina's voice came from outside: "Aki, did you find your amulet?"

"Hey... I found it. I'll be right there." Jiude Aki turned around and shouted outside, then turned back to Lu Mingfei and blinked, saying softly, "By the way, did you accidentally go to the wrong restroom?"

"..." After Jiude Aki said this, Lu Mingfei remembered that there was such a thing.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."

Jiude Aki smiled at Lu Mingfei, then walked past him, went to the sink, picked up the amulet that had been dropped just now, and put it back on his wrist. Then he walked past Lu Mingfei again, taking small steps and walking away.

Lu Mingfei listened to the footsteps gradually fading away, and immediately slipped out of the women's restroom.

"Saketoku Aki..."

Lu Mingfei silently repeated the name. He remembered that when he was a freshman at Kassel College, Jude Aki had just graduated from Kassel College and had just joined the executive department.

If we work backwards, Shude Aki should be a sophomore now.

The girl who was talking to Bettina just now seemed to be Shude Aki. No wonder when he heard the voice, he felt that although the voice was unfamiliar, he always felt as if he had heard it somewhere.

"In other words, the academy is also involved in the matter of 'antimony'? Bettina said that her uncle brought back guests, and the guests are from Kassel Academy? In other words, the academy has some kind of relationship with the family of the little goddess' mother..."

Things are getting really complicated.

However, this matter should be resolved satisfactorily in the end. After all, Aki had an accident when she was participating in the Three Gorges mission in her previous life, which means that at least nothing will happen in this mission.

Lu Mingfei returned to the banquet hall thinking about these things. He didn’t know how long he stayed in the women’s restroom. When he returned to the restaurant, almost everyone had arrived.

In addition to the familiar face of Yaji, Lu Mingfei actually saw Ye Sheng, and Professor Mans Rundschneider, whose class he had taken but never attended, and who he had only seen in photos. They were all old acquaintances. There was also a beautiful Latin girl with bronze skin beside the professor.

Is this the execution team sent by the academy?

The Three Gorges mission team was wiped out?
Among the foreign faces on the other side, Lu Mingfei only recognized Bettina and Uncle Louis. He had never seen the others.

Of course, the little goddess had already arrived at the banquet hall. Seeing Lu Mingfei walking in reluctantly, Su Xiaoqiang pursed her lips and then walked slowly to Lu Mingfei's side. "I thought you were going to wait until dinner time to come."

Lu Mingfei retorted in his mind: I came early! I just went to the toilet.

Of course, he didn't dare say that he accidentally walked into the women's restroom through the wrong door or something like that... If the little angel knew about it, she would definitely laugh at him to death.

"Is this your boyfriend in China?"

Before Lu Mingfei could say anything, a pretty Portuguese girl came over with a smile and looked him up and down with an interested look in her eyes.

Su Xiaoqiang's face turned red: "What, what boyfriend? He is just an ordinary friend of mine, Clara, don't talk nonsense!"

Then she tugged at Lu Mingfei's clothes, turned her eyes away and said, "This is my cousin Clara, the daughter of my uncle Louis. She likes to joke around. Don't mind what she said just now."

Lu Mingfei looked at the little angel's other cousin and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the little angel's mother's family was really full of beauties.

But it makes sense. Generally speaking, the higher the dragon bloodline, the greater the advantage in appearance. It doesn't mean that beautiful people necessarily have high-purity bloodline, but people with high bloodline level tend to have better appearance.

Since the little angel's mother's family is a mixed-race family, it is normal that the family is full of handsome men and beautiful women.

"Isn't he your boyfriend?" Clara said, "If he wasn't your boyfriend, why would he chase you all the way from China?"

"I've already said no! She's just here for tourism." The little goddess gritted her teeth and turned to look at Lu Mingfei. "Forget it, let's ignore her and take a seat first."

As the little angel spoke, she subconsciously tried to hold Lu Mingfei's hand, but her hand froze in mid-air as soon as she stretched it out. After hesitating for a moment, she chose to grab Lu Mingfei's sleeve, leaving Clara behind and smiling at their backs.
