Chapter 357: Parasites
The committee members were in an uproar and turned their heads one after another. Even Lu Lincheng and Giovini were stunned, and they couldn't help but start worrying when they looked at each other to make sure that their son hadn't told any of them about it.
It only takes a quarter of the soul to kill the four monarchs, if it is so simple to slay the dragon, the secret party will have completely exterminated the dragon clan a long time ago, and there is no need for them to hide in this so-called haven to establish their own doomsday faction!
As for a quarter of the souls, it seemed to them nothing compared to the safety of the human race, even if Lu Mingfei was the only son of Lu Lincheng and Giovanni.
Although the Doomsday Sect is an independent organization from the secret party, it can even be said that they have defected, and they no longer work for the great cause of human dragon slaying, but they are still essentially on the human camp. Although it is not excluded that some of the members of the committee are simply afraid of death, most of them are only extremely pessimistic about the prospects of this war, so for the sake of the continuation of humanity, they must establish this safe haven to prevent humanity from completely losing hope.
If there is a guarantee that this will be won, then the vast majority of the Doomsday faction will still be on the side of the Secret Party.
And, Lu Mingfei in front of him really has such a power?
The eyes of the committee members shone brightly, and they even had the urge to send Lu Mingfei for experiments.
"Ahem!"
The female commissioner also understood the thoughts of the group of old fellows beside her, and looked at Lu Lincheng's breezy appearance and the way Jovanie squinted, she was almost certain that if the group of old fellows made some suggestions, Jovini might blow their heads right away.
You must know that even if Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini are not combatants, but civilians, but with the physique and longevity of the S-class bloodline, it is definitely like a joke to beat them, a group of civilian old men with the most A-level blood.
Moreover, according to Lu Mingfei's self-reported experience, he has made a deal with the devil in his mouth three times, and there should be another chance to trade. What if Lu Mingfei's trading conditions this time were to take Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini out safely?
She didn't want to offend Lu Lincheng and Jovini, and she didn't want to risk the destruction of the haven.
The old female commissioner smiled as kindly as she could and asked, "Son, can you tell me when you met that devil?" Was he just born and he was there for you? β
Hearing this, Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini also looked at Lu Mingfei for the time being, obviously they were also concerned about this issue. If that devil was just born by Lu Mingfei's side, then this is too terrible.
What kind of enemy could hide from the gaze of their father and Chu Tianjiao, the three S-class half-bloods, hiding by their side? Not to mention that there are so many secret commissioners under the watch, and after entering the academy, there are Ange, the Night's Watchman, Fingal, and the king of the earth and mountains, JΓΆrmungard, and Chen Hong, who killed one of the four great monarchs, and no one has ever discovered the devil......
"No, I never found out he existed until I graduated from high school. The first time I met him, it was in a hospital ward. It was at that graduation party that I got into a fight with that group of high school classmates......"
Lu Mingfei didn't say any more, although it was the first time he stood up, it was definitely not a good memory. And Giovanni had red eyes and couldn't hold back her tears.
Knowing about this afterwards, Jovini cried heartbreakingly, she didn't expect her son to live such a poor life, and this was all because they as parents did not fulfill their responsibilities, and after the sadness, Jovini directly took two desert eagles and rushed out of the haven to kill the little beasts.
The blood mourning of the S-class half-breed made her not care about the lives of a few scum in that group of ordinary humans, and even if she really killed those students, whether it was because of the reason for the incident, or because the secret party and the Doomsday faction paid attention to talents, that is, to punish Jovini with a salary, at most, it was similar to thinking behind closed doors for a while, and it was impossible to take any severe punishment measures.
Of course, in the end, Qiao Weni was stopped, and Chen Hongjian and a certain HK consortium teamed up to suppress the business of those little beasts, so that the business of the family of those who bullied Lu Mingfei was almost bankrupt, and in the end, it seemed that a girl named Su Xiaochang who had not bullied Lu Mingfei survived, which made Qiao Wenni endure her anger.
The committee members also understood this matter and did not urge Lu Mingfei to continue, in addition to being "empathetic", they also took into account the painful experience of the committee member who was accidentally splashed with boiling water by Qiao Weini last time.
"Whew."
Lu Mingfei exhaled and continued: "I was in a coma because of my injuries, and I met him for the first time after waking up. And the first time I met, he gave me a spirit called 'Don't Die', which can heal any injuries and diseases, and the effect depends on how serious I am. β
"Later, he often appeared in my dreams and took me to all corners of the world, sometimes in the Himalayas, sometimes in the Inner Mongolian steppe, sometimes in the African plains, sometimes in the Siberian snowfields...... In the real world, he will often appear by my side, but in the real world, he is invisible, only I can see him, and he can also pause the flow of time in a certain area, so that time can be completely suspended, even the existence of the four monarch levels cannot be avoided. β
"But every time he shows up, he helps me, even if it doesn't cost a quarter of my life. From some information about dragons to a delicate and luxurious breakfast, he almost always responds to everything I want except for power, even if it is something that doesn't exist in the real world and only exists in games and anime, and it doesn't have to pay any price. In his words, it was to curry favor with me for the next trade, but ......"
The commissioners waited for Lu Mingfei's narration, and Giovanni had a pen in her hand, as if she was going to take notes, but she clenched it too tightly and revealed her mood.
Another commissioner took the initiative to ease the mood: "Dear Vinnie, you look more nervous than your son. Why don't I bring you a drink? β
With that, a glass of liquor was immediately delivered to Giovanni.
"Get me a drink, too, I'm a little thirsty."
The female commissioner also raised her hand, followed by several other members. This made Lu Mingfei a little surprised, the atmosphere of this evaluation meeting seemed to be much more relaxed than he thought, even if he told a big secret, the committee members were still in the mood to stop and have a glass of wine and talk slowly. He could see that although there was an element of drama, none of them were frightened, only a little excited, as if a biologist had discovered the fossil of an unknown creature.
"Would you like a drink to relax, kid?" The female commissioner asked.
Lu Mingfei shook his head: "Forget it, I'd better stay sober, lest I talk nonsense after drinking." β
The committee members all laughed, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed.
Time passed quickly, the evaluation would be carried out step by step, and the committee members asked questions one after another, which was not at all like the evaluation that Chu Zihang faced in the academy. Although the committee members' questions were varied, the questions they asked were all about what happened between Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze, and they did not raise any questions, nor did they put forward some subjective conjectures, let alone make things difficult for Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei answered them easily. During this period, the committee members would whisper from time to time, and a few would exchange opinions with small slips of paper, and everyone nodded slightly after reading it.
And as time goes by, fewer and fewer people ask questions, and they gradually lose interest in asking questions. Only one professor in the field of cognition, Duden, has been tirelessly asking some epistemological questions to Lu Mingfei.
The whole evaluation lasted about two hours, until finally no more members raised their hands to ask questions, and everyone turned their eyes to Professor Duden, an expert in the field of epistemology. He got a note from each of the committee members, and when he read it, his expression was slightly solemn.
"Son, I want to tell you three things."
Professor Duden held up a finger: "First of all, I'm glad that as the child of Lin Cheng and Winnie, you are really a good child, and the lie detector shows that you are not lying, which is very gratifying to us, and makes us more inclined to keep you." β
"However, there is also mixed news, which is the second thing."
"According to my analysis, you are not a dangerous monster per se, but a ghost-like monster that has haunted you. You're an S-class of bloodline yourself, and that ghostly monster will use a similar method to an upgraded version of Bloodstorm to weaken your human consciousness and strengthen your dragon consciousness every time you make a trade, but it will still allow you to maintain most of your human consciousness while gaining enough power to kill the Four Great Sovereigns. β
Professor Duden seemed to see Lu Mingfei's uneasiness, and added: "Child, I know you may be puzzled, that monster is just a devil similar to Dante met in your eyes. But that's a monster, and the fact that the lie detector doesn't lie only means that he is an image of a devil in your perception, not that he is really a devil seeking a deal. β
"Do you mean that I have ...... False...... Fiction ......"
Lu Mingfei's voice gradually trembled, and it was a fiction again...... It's just that this time he is not imagining his own life, but Lu Mingze.
He was a little skeptical, doubtful of everything, and even began to wonder if the world he was in now was just a more real illusion, just like in "Inception", thinking that he had left the dream, but in fact he had just entered a more real, more deceptive, and deeper dream.
"I hope it's fiction." Professor Duden shook his head, "If you are just a hypothesis, then under the tutoring of our psychology professor, you can be cured of your hypocrisy in a maximum of a year." But you do gain great power, even if you erase your human consciousness, you can't have that strong power, so the biggest possibility is that you are parasitized by some kind of dragon king-level spirit body monster, and he is gradually eroding your consciousness and body. β
"As soon as you complete the last transaction, then, your soul will be consumed by him, and your body will ...... All that you have will belong to Him. β
Professor Duden's words made Giovanni's face pale, and even Lu Lincheng nervously broke off a corner of the table.
"Zombie ant ......," Lu Lincheng muttered.
"What?"
The committee member sitting next to Lu Lincheng heard Lu Lincheng's low voice and asked curiously.
"Zombie ants."
Lu Lincheng took a deep breath and repeated.
"What's that?"
Although the committee members are all civilian personnel, some are good at management, some are good at scientific research, and some are good at architecture, psychology, and other various technologies, but they are the most needed technologies in the safe haven, so they don't know about the "zombie ants" in Lu Lincheng's mouth.
"A 48-million-year-old fungus was able to change and control the behavior of ants by releasing chemicals that turned them into their own puppets. When ants are infected with the fungus, they leave the nest and find a leaf in the nearby wooded ground, bite its veins tightly and die, creating the perfect environment for the fungus to grow. And even if the zombie ant dies, the fungal spores in the body will burst open, and then scatter nearby and even other ants even appear in the ant nest, infecting more of the same kind. β
Professor Duden's face was solemn: "A parasite that can burst out of dragon king-level power also has a certain amount of "power", if it is confirmed to be real, it is much more terrifying than those four monarchs who can cause floods, wind snakes, fire rains, and earth changes. The enemy of humanity, with one more ......"
Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, he wanted to refute, he wanted to say that Lu Mingze was not the kind of guy with a vicious mind, he was just a good brother who treated himself as an elder brother to protect and take care of...... However, when the words came to his mouth, he could not open his mouth, as if his throat was stuck in something, and he could not say a word.
He didn't want to believe that his father and the professors were telling the truth, but they were too reasonable.
Once the seeds of doubt and doubt are planted, it is only a matter of time before they take root and sprout.
And Lu Lincheng, his father, and several of his father's colleagues came to the conclusion together, which became the fertilizer for this seed to take root and sprout.
Lu Mingfei began to waver.
Could it be that this good brother of his own, protecting and taking care of himself, is just a parasite in order to protect himself as a suitable host?

PS: Just got home from school and was paralyzed. Just went home during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, and directly hit the peak of passenger flow, and the high-speed rail tickets were all waitlisted, and I couldn't find a place to sit in the waiting hall...... When I got home, I didn't want to move at all.
