Chapter 157: Word Spirit: The Emperor Comes in Person

The snow and rain lasted for a long time, from the afternoon to the evening, and there was no sign of stopping.

Lu Mingfei sat on the stairs, leaning against the window on the half-floor corner of the stairs, and had a panoramic view of the entire city.

He used to like staying here alone. It was a bit lonely, but it didn't matter. He just liked being alone, not disturbing others and not being disturbed by others.

The city is big and he is free to go wherever he wants. No one knows him and he doesn't know anyone.

But isn’t this kind of freedom also a kind of loneliness?
The sound of a violin began to sound, the melody was desolate and sad, which seemed very appropriate for the scene, but it scared Lu Mingfei.

He turned around and saw the little devil playing the violin with his eyes closed.

Not knowing what was wrong with this younger brother, he just watched quietly.

When the song ended, the little devil threw the violin away and it disappeared into the air.

The little devil smiled and said, "This piece of music is called "The Sorrow of Pakabel", also known as "The Color of Silence". It fits your mood, doesn't it?"

Lu Mingfei curled his lips and said nothing, which was indeed quite appropriate, but wouldn’t it be better if the little devil kept silent?
"Brother, do you know the legend of this city?" Lu Mingze sat down next to him carelessly.

“What kind of legend could there be?” Lu Mingfei said nonchalantly, “Even if there is, it was created by a dragon, not a ghost.”

What is a dragon? Even worse, what are ghosts?

Dragon? He once personally sent a dragon king on his way.

A ghost? Next to him sat a little devil who called himself the king of monsters.

"Brother, do you think mirages are really the refraction of light?"

The little devil's words reminded Lu Mingfei that he had really seen a mirage, but this mirage was indeed the refraction of light, because the mirage he saw reflected the real estate market in the BCD commercial district of their city.

So Lu Mingfei said: "Isn't this nonsense? If it's not the refraction of light, is there really another world?"

There are many speculations about mirages, such as overlapping dimensions, parallel universes, quantum mechanics, etc.

Lu Mingfei’s superficial knowledge of physics makes it difficult to deeply understand, but knowing the general idea is that there is another world.

"It's hard to say." Lu Mingze suggested: "How about you use the Word Spirit to see if there is any problem with this city?"

Lu Mingfei glanced at the little devil, wondering what this guy wanted to do.
The power of his words really makes people feel wonderful, as if the emperor's will is upon them, and they are the only one in the world.

The word spirit is like the emperor coming in person, abbreviated as "the emperor is coming".

This is a word spirit that is not recorded in the Kassel Academy's word spirit periodic table, but its effect is truly invincible and powerful.

Lu Mingfei used it secretly once. The emperor's will was very overbearing. He could control everything in the domain and even give orders to make dead objects such as trees and stones speak.

The tree spoke very slowly, perhaps because it had not yet adapted to being able to speak.

If Lu Mingfei becomes a criminal investigation police, not only will he have a 100% crime-solving rate, but he will also never wrongly accuse any criminal, because the real dead can also speak.

But unfortunately, he is not in this line of work. He is engaged in the more dangerous business of slaying dragons.

What did the little devil want me to do by letting him release the Word Spirit? Is there a big problem here?

He was a little confused. Could it be that a dragon king had come to their city? But a dragon king... could he defeat a fully formed dragon king walking around?

Oh no, maybe, isn't there a little devil here? The little devil should be able to do it, but there's no need for me!
Letting the little devil take action will come at a price, and you only have a few lives to spare.

Last time, he gave a quarter of his life to Lu Mingze in this city, asking Lu Mingze to kill Odin.

Looking at Lu Mingze's seemingly innocent eyes, Lu Mingfei sneered and said, "Although I don't know what you are up to, I know that you want my life."

Lu Mingze sighed and said, "Hey, my brother has grown up and become smarter."

These words sounded like something a parent says to a child, and Lu Mingfei recalled that a long, long time ago, his parents seemed to have said the same thing to him?
Unfortunately, too much time has passed and all that remains is a letter they sent every six months.

After Lu Mingze left, Lu Mingfei quietly took out his mobile phone and sent a QQ message to Zhang Baiqing.

Lu Mingfei: "Boss, what we are saying is, is it possible, is it possible, that there is a Dragon King in our city?"

Zhang Baiqing quickly replied: "Maybe it can be removed."

Lu Mingfei was shocked. Is Zhang Baiqing so sure?
That’s right, Zhang Baiqing had worked with Odin when he was in high school, so he must know more about the mysteries of this city than he does.

According to the knowledge he gained, Odin was the incarnation of a dragon king.

As for the last Odin incident, Lu Mingfei and Zhang Baiqing didn’t know that the little devil Lu Mingze was having his cake and eat it too.

Lu Mingfei: "Then... do you want to find him and kill him?"

There is actually a Dragon King in this city. If an outbreak occurs, will this city still have a chance to survive?

The dragon last time was not even a Dragon King, but it was able to easily cause an earthquake. Chu Zihang is not a Dragon King either, just a hybrid. One of his Junyan shots is comparable to a nuclear weapon.

In a big city like this with so many tall buildings, no matter if the Dragon King launched an earthquake or a sub-nuclear weapon explosion, the number of casualties would easily start from the thousands and cap at one million.

Zhang Baiqing: "I can't find it. The principal mentioned it to me before I left school and asked me to look into the matter of our mirage, but I can't find it. If this thing can be found so easily, how can Long survive?"

Lu Mingfei thought so too, but...the little devil mentioned this to him. Could it be that if he used the Word Spirit here, he would be able to lure the Dragon King out?
Finding a dragon king was so easy! And now the key was in his hand. Should he lure the dragon king out?

He had a feeling that he was in the midst of a huge chaos and that he was just a mayfly that could shake the big tree.

But if a gnat shakes a tree, it must pay a price, right? If nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected will definitely happen, and I will definitely pay the price.

Although he held the initiative and felt a great sense of excitement in his heart, he did not want to lure the Dragon King out right away.

It’s not that I don’t have the ability, but I’m afraid that you can’t handle it.

So he calmly replied: "Is that so? That's a pity."

Zhang Baiqing felt a little strange when he received the news. Why did Lu Mingfei bring up this for no reason?
He also didn't know how Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze got along. Lu Mingfei had never told him about this matter, so he didn't mention it either, pretending that he didn't know anything about Lu Mingze.

"How's the check going?"

Zhang Baiqing asked Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang was checking the records of mirages appearing in the city, as well as what happened when the mirages appeared.

But this kind of thing cannot be found out through normal channels. Apart from Chu Zihang, how many other people in this city know about Chu Zihang's encounter with Odin?

So he was destined to gain nothing.

Chu Zihang turned off the computer, stood up and said, "Let's go to the place where my father lived. He was able to lure Odin out. The separatist faction of Kassel Academy must have some understanding of Odin."

"That's true."

So the two of them drove to the industrial park in this cold, rainy and snowy weather.

Chu Zihang followed his memory and found the place where Chu Tianjiao worked in the past. The boss who could afford the expensive Maybach 62 was preparing to open a large factory in the new industrial park to show his talents.

According to Media Asia Group's grand ambition, it was to build the largest special metal group in Asia. In order to create a local employment environment, the local government also asked local banks to lend him a lot of money, but the people of the whole city knew the result later. Just like the owner of the Wenzhou leather factory, he ran away with the money.

Although Media Asia Group has gone bankrupt, it still has to deal with follow-up issues such as liquidating assets and settling loans.

The government sent a special team to deal with this matter, but...

It is true that the local government attaches great importance to this matter. After all, this is a stain on the resume of local leaders. If they don’t handle the aftermath properly, there will be no hope of promotion.

It’s said that they don’t take this matter seriously, but the poor staff haven’t finished the settlement yet. So many years have passed, and they are still in the process of settling the accounts. I don’t know if it’s because the matter is too troublesome or there are too few staff.

There are no lights in the Media Asia Group's factory, only a dim light in the security booth at the gate. The liquidation team goes home for dinner when it's time to get off work, but these assets still need someone to guard them, so there are security guards guarding the place all the time.

The security guard was a middle-aged man who was playing Legend on an old computer in the security booth.

The Media Asia Group seemed to be very prosperous back then, and even the small security booth was equipped with computers and air conditioners.

Few people play Legend now. Most of them are middle-aged people who have experienced that era.

"Da da."

Chu Zihang reached out and knocked on the window.

The knocking on the window late at night scared the middle-aged security guard. He jumped up on the spot and looked in the direction of the sound with a look of horror.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that they were two handsome men's faces.

I went up to him, opened the window and asked, "Why are you here so late at night? What's going on?"

Normally, who would come to the industrial area at night? Maybe there would be cars passing by occasionally, but they would not come up to knock on the windows or anything like that.

"Hello, we are employees of Lu Group."

Zhang Baiqing and Chu Zihang both handed over a work badge.

Chu Zihang was always accompanied by Lu Tianming when he went to the company. Although Chu Zihang seldom went to Lu Group and was always accompanied by Lu Tianming, he never lacked his work badge for entering and leaving the company.

As they are both sons listed in the household registration book, Zhang Baiqing naturally has one too.

Although the Lu Group is not as well-known as the Black Prince Group, it is also a well-known leading company.

The security guard was even more puzzled after seeing the work badge.

"What are you doing here so late at night?"

It’s not that they can’t come, it’s just that if they come at this time, the security guards will believe them if they say they are here to steal steel bars.

"Uncle security guard, are you a government employee or an employee of Media Asia Group?" Zhang Baiqing handed over a pack of cigarettes.

The security guard accepted the cigarette with a smile on his face and said, "I am one of the first employees of Media Asia Group. I am definitely a veteran employee."

Zhang Baiqing asked again: "Uncle Security, I wonder if you remember the driver of the former Media Asia Group boss, his name was Chu Tianjiao."

"Old Chu, of course I know." The security guard nodded, "He drives the boss's car in and out every day, so we security guards must know him."

"Ahem, it's like this. This is Chu Zihang..." Zhang Baiqing wanted to say something more.

When Chu Zihang heard that he knew Chu Tianjiao, he immediately started the Word Spirit Hypnosis!

The method is simple and crude, but extremely effective.

"Tell me everything you know about Chu Tianjiao." Chu Zihang asked the hypnotized security guard.

"Old Chu is a pretty good man. He has a beautiful wife who is a dancer and a son. He used to drive for the head of the tax bureau, but he didn't make much money, so he ran out to drive for the boss of Media Asia..."

The security guard chattered on and on and told everything he knew about Chu Tianjiao.

But they were all useless information. As a small security guard, he didn't know Chu Tianjiao's real personal information. He learned all this from other people when he talked with his former security brothers.

The young security guard knew Chu Tianjiao, but Chu Tianjiao was the boss's driver. In ancient times, he would be a coachman and an absolute direct descendant. But he didn't know this young security guard.

"Do you know where Chu Tianjiao used to live?"

Chu Zihang only knew that his father lived in the factory, but where... he really didn't know. At that time, he felt that this man was not manly at all and couldn't even protect his wife and son, so he never treated Chu Tianjiao well.

It was not until the rainy night that Chu Tianjiao dropped all his disguises, revealed his S-level demeanor, drew his knife at Odin, and covered his son's escape.

The security guard nodded, "I really know this."

Chu Tianjiao lives in the factory, and his living quarters are also unique, so they probably all know it.

"Take us there."

"Ok."

The security guard took them to the second floor underground of the factory.

There are no windows in the basement, and it has not been ventilated since the construction was stopped, so the air has a very sparse smell and is turbid.

"Here it is, but I don't have the key."

The security guard took them to a room, but the door was locked.

"That's enough. Go back to the security booth and continue playing on the computer." Chu Zihang said to him.

"Okay, I'll go back then."

Zhang Baiqing took a look at the messy environment around him due to abandonment. Although it would be okay after being cleaned up, it had no windows and was indeed not suitable for human habitation.

"This place...is not suitable for living."

"Ah."

Chu Zihang nodded and directly controlled the metal of the door lock.

The King of Bronze and Fire can control not only bronze, but all metals. It’s just that the metal of that era was bronze.

The door lock opened with a click and Chu Zihang opened the door.

There was no light inside the door and no windows, but it didn't look messy.

When the door opened, a stream of fresh air came out, directly proportional to the turbid and smelly air outside.

Chu Zihang turned on the light in the room and found that the room was very simple.

There was a bed, a bedside table, a desk, a chair, a refrigerator, and a few steel wires with leather jackets hanging on them.

This is where an S-rank hybrid has lived for several years.
