The underground base of the Ministry of Armament, in Lu Mingfei's private laboratory.

The experimental table was half emptied and covered with a large piece of parchment, and Lu Mingfei held a quill and sketched intricate shapes on the parchment.

These patterns were commonly referred to in the Middle Ages as "magic arrays", "alchemy arrays", or "black magic arrays", but in modern alchemy systems, they are collectively referred to as "alchemy matrices".

The alchemy matrix written on the parchment paper is the alchemy matrix of the Twilight Killing Flame Demon Knife that Lu Mingfei has improved and is compatible with Senior Brother Chu's Jun Yan.

As for the parchment and quill, they are specially processed alchemy tools specially used to record the alchemy matrix, kindly provided by the vice-principal.

Just as Lu Mingfei was perfecting the alchemy matrix, the lamp in the corner of the experimental table suddenly lit up red, and the voice of Director Akadulla came from the miniature stereo: "Mingfei? Aren't you there? ”

In order to avoid interruption of the researcher's inspiration, or other unexpected circumstances, the door of the researcher's private laboratory is closed by default, and will automatically lock as long as it is closed, and can only be opened by outsiders by invoking the highest level of clearance, unless the door is broken by force.

In addition, the sound insulation effect of the private laboratory is excellent, so in order to avoid being unable to enter and unable to contact the researchers inside through the mobile phone, a paging mechanism is specially added to the design.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, walked to the door, and pressed to open the door, and Director Akadulla and Deputy Director Carl were both outside.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the director? Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"It's a very important thing!" Director Akadulla pressed his hands on Lu Mingfei's shoulders, his face full of seriousness, "Mingfei, have you noticed that you have neglected a very important matter?" ”

Lu Mingfei recalled it carefully, and he really couldn't think of what Director Akadulla was talking about, but he vaguely felt as if there was indeed something, but he was a little apprehensive, worried that he had really ignored a certain blind spot, and was a little nervous: "Director, what is the matter?" ”

"I really forgot!" The seriousness on Director Akadulla's face instantly turned to excitement, and he grabbed Lu Mingfei's shoulder and shook it vigorously, "Our limited collector's edition Kamen Rider Transformation Belt!" Why hasn't it arrived yet! ”

"Yes! Why hasn't it arrived yet! Deputy Director Carl also grabbed Lu Mingfei's shoulder and shook it vigorously.

"Transformation belt?" Lu Mingfei was stunned, and suddenly said, "It turned out to be one!" No wonder I felt like I had forgotten something! ”

"You really forgot! Treacherous guys! Director Akadulla looked excited.

"No, no, no, I haven't forgotten," Lu Mingfei waved his hand again and again, "It's just that I'm buying, I asked a friend in Japan to help buy it, but I haven't sent it yet." ”

He had asked Yuan Zhisheng to help him buy a full set of belts before, but he hadn't sent them yet.

"Really?" Deputy Director Karl looked suspicious.

"Really!" Lu Mingfei nodded firmly, but he was actually a little puzzled, "But it's strange to say, the friend I asked for is a big name in the Japanese branch of the academy, and it stands to reason that he should be able to get a full set of belts easily, but I don't know why he hasn't sent them now." ”

"Someone from the Japanese branch? "It's no wonder then," said Director Akadullah, "the relationship between the Japanese branch and the academy has always been bad, and they are all a bunch of psychos, if you ask them, they will help you well, and you can't expect them to care much." ”

"Uh...... I think my relationship with that friend is okay, it's not very good, but it's not bad," Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "and even if it doesn't matter about personal relationships, he shouldn't be the kind of character who agrees to something and then turns his head and puts it aside." ”

Lu Mingfei had a good impression of Yuan Zhisheng, and felt that the other party was a bit similar to Senior Brother Chu's kind of person, rigorous, serious and reliable, and if he entrusted this kind of person to do something, the other party would either simply refuse, or he would definitely try his best to do a good job after accepting it.

"I'll call him again, maybe he's too busy, he said he's the director of the Executive Directorate, and he guesses he's busy." Lu Mingfei Dao.

"You have to be careful of the people in the Japanese branch, they are a bunch of weird psychoses." Deputy Director Carl reminded.

"If you want to talk about neurosis, our equipment department should be the least qualified to blame others, right?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but complain.

The Kassel Academy is already full of weirdos and psychopaths, but even in such a school full of weirdos and psychopaths, as long as the word "equipment department" is mentioned, people who hear the name still have a feeling of overpowering their spines.

Especially after the last day of freedom, the name "Equipment Department" in schools has become so terrifying that it can scare adults into tears.

"It's different, the group of neuropathies in Japan are mainly developing in the direction of perversion, and they are not the same type as us." Akadulla said.

"Are you not going to deny that we're also insane?" Lu Mingfei complained.

"Although I like Japan's two-dimensional culture very much, it is also an irrefutable fact that Japan is rich in perversion." Deputy Director Carl pushed his glasses and said.

"Liking Lori and being perverted are just one step away." Lu Mingfei said with a vain eye.

"I can't afford not to hear that!" Carl was furious.

"Okay, okay, don't make trouble, there's still business," Seeing that Carl was deflated, Akadulla suddenly began to pull the shelf, and blocked Deputy Director Carl's mouth with "business", "Mingfei, I have one more thing to ask about the progress of the improvement of the desperate virus, and the school board is already urging it." ”

"This ......" Lu Mingfei's gaze wandered, a little weak, "I guess it will take a little time." ”

He recently had to upgrade Murayu, revise the matrix of the Twilight Killing Flame Demon Knife, and help Charlotte's grandfather heal his injuries, which will naturally affect the progress of perfecting the Desperate Virus.

"That's good." Director Akadulla nodded in satisfaction.

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was stunned, "Why?" ”

"The longer the research process, the more money you have," says Director Akadullah, "the more money you invest, the harder it will be for the school board to give up on the project, and then the more money you have to invest, and then the harder it will be to give up ......."

Lu Mingfei only then understood-it's not that he was slow, it's just that he was mainly doing research in Tony's world before, and he didn't need to think about money or cost at all, so he didn't forget to think about this aspect, and at this moment, he reacted after being reminded by Director Akadulla.

However, after the director and deputy director said this, Lu Mingfei also reacted to one thing: "By the way, director, can I buy some equipment and materials at internal prices?" ”

"Of course it's no problem, you make your own form, send it to my office tomorrow, and I'll sign it for you." Director Akadulla agreed.

According to the regulations of the college, the researchers of the equipment department can buy the things in the warehouse at the cost price for their own research, which is regarded as the internal welfare of the college to the researchers.

What Lu Ming had to buy at the internal price was some of the materials and equipment needed to make a recycled cradle.

Of course, the school rules also strictly stipulate that after buying, you are only allowed to use it for your own use, and you cannot resell it, and you will be severely fined if you are found.

However, the equipment department has never disdained to do this kind of reselling to make money, and everyone is directly greedy for money when they are really short of money - although the equipment department is very disgusted with the principal's personal hygiene and taste in clothes and perfumes, but in terms of greedy ink funds, the entire equipment department regards the principal as an idol.

……

At night, in the Norton Pavilion, Lu Mingfei's bedroom.

Lu Mingfei sat in front of his notebook and sent a video call to Gen Zhisheng — he exchanged contact information with him before leaving Japan.

A few seconds later, the video call was connected, and Gen was seated in a black suit, and from the background behind him, he should be in the office.

"Good evening, Lu Jun." Genzhi Shengdao.

"Good evening, Brother Yuan, I'm sorry to bother you at this time," Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "I just wanted to ask about the Kamen Rider belt I asked you to buy for me before......"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I promised you that the next day I was going to deal with a tricky incident about the Fierce Ghost Cadres, and it took Sakura a few days to get it done, so I didn't have time to help you buy a belt, and I didn't complete the task until yesterday," Gen Zhisheng said, "I've already asked Sakura to handle the belt matter, and I can send it tomorrow, and if I go through special channels, I can send it soon." ”

Gen Zhisheng's words were half-truths - he did encounter a rather tricky incident, but with his strength, it wouldn't take several days, after all, the target was only the cadres of the fierce ghosts, not a leader-level character.

In fact, he did it a few days ago, and personally helped Lu Mingfei buy the full set of belts he asked for and an extra empty belt, but unfortunately, these belts were seen by Eri Yi.

I don't know why, Eri Yi, who has never been very interested in Kamen Rider, suddenly wanted these belts, and Yuan Zhisheng didn't tell Eri that he bought it for Lu Mingfei, so he directly gave the full set of belts to Eri Yi, and prepared to buy it later, which caused Lu Mingfei not to receive the belt at that time.

As for the after...... She had planned to buy another pair, but something even more unexpected happened—the attitude of the Kassel Academy towards the Japanese branch, that is, towards the Snake Eight Family, suddenly changed.

To put it simply, the academy seemed to suddenly become more defensive of the family without warning, and although the magnitude of this change was not drastic, it was still keenly detected by the family with ghosts in their hearts.

After all, the family itself is brewing a plan to become independent from the academy, although it has become more and more low-key in recent years, but it is also more sensitive to the winds and grasses of the outside world, and the academy suddenly changed its attitude during this period, and the family had to be cautious.

Therefore, Yuan Zhisheng was busy again, so he put off the matter of buying a belt again.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Lu Mingfei about this, so he only said that he didn't buy a belt because he didn't have time to work.

"So that's the case, it's really troublesome Brother Yuan," Lu Mingfei said, "Otherwise, I'll go to Japan during the winter vacation, and I'll just invite you to have a meal." ”

Yuan Zhisheng shook his head: "No need, it's just a small favor, and it's worth it." ”

"It's okay, I was planning to travel to Japan during the winter vacation, so I won't have a meal by the way." Lu Mingfei Dao.

Yuan Zhisheng was about to continue refusing, and suddenly his heart moved-when the academy's attitude towards the family changed, he proposed to come to Japan to meet him, did Lu Mingfei have any purpose for this?

If you reject him directly, it may attract further vigilance from the secret party and the academy, but it will attract more precautions and surveillance, and it will affect the family's plans even more, so it is better to let him come, and then I will personally entertain him, and then let the family keep a low profile, so that until he leaves, there will be nothing suspicious, and the family will not be suspected......

Just as Yuan Zhisheng was pondering, Lu Mingfei suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Yuan, is the head of the Uesugi family okay lately?" ”

Lu Mingfei said that he was going to travel to Japan is not fake, firstly, as an old two-dimensional person, he really wants to go to Akihabara, and secondly, he is ...... When he left, Eri had the ability to go out of the body, and he could go to the outside world every day while he was sleeping, and he was actually a little worried about whether something would go wrong, so he had to take a look at it by the way, and he just asked.

As for inviting Gen Zhisheng to dinner...... That's by the way.

Yuan Zhisheng didn't know what Lu Mingfei was thinking, and when he heard Lu Mingfei suddenly mention Eriyi, his heart was suddenly vigilant - could it be that the academy began to doubt Eriyi's identity and bloodline? Or is there no suspicion of Eri's bloodline, just because she is the most powerless of the last three families, and she wants to open the breakthrough of the Eight Snake Families?

Yuan Zhisheng is more inclined to the second guess, after all, Eri is well hidden in the family, only the heads of the family know the real situation, and the medical staff are half-understood, so there is no reason why there will be news leaked to the academy.

But no matter what, Lu Mingfei must have a problem, the purpose is not pure, and the comer is not good!

After confirming that Lu Mingfei's purpose was impure, Yuan Zhisheng strengthened his determination to let Lu Mingfei come to Japan, and only by greeting him frankly, and then leaving without any way to find any handle, can the family not arouse the vigilance of the secret party.

"Speaking of which, I also want to thank Lu Jun, since Lu Jun you came, and after playing the game with the head of the Uesugi family, her whole person has become more lively, probably because it is rare to be able to contact her peers." Genzhi Shengdao.

This is the truth, Yuan Zhisheng found that since he met Lu Mingfei, Eri Yi has gradually become more lively and angry, although she is still a little autistic, but at least she is no longer almost a delicate doll like before, and even occasionally shows a little smile.

But Yuan Zhisheng didn't think that this was Lu Mingfei's credit, and he didn't plan to let Eri Yi and Lu Mingfei meet again because of this, even if he didn't consider the family, it would be very dangerous for Eri Yi herself, if her bloodline was discovered, in the style of the secret party, the gentlest way to deal with it would be to be imprisoned in a remote island prison for life.

After a brief chat with Lu Mingfei, Yue Ding waited for Lu Mingfei to come to Japan to play during the winter vacation, and Yuan Zhisheng hung up the video.

Lu Mingfei closed the computer, and there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in." Lu Mingfei turned his head and said.

Zero pushed the door in, wearing pajamas, holding the little bear, and looked at Lu Mingfei expressionlessly: "I'm here to sleep." ”

With that cold expression, it was as if she was not Lu Mingfei's friend, but a girl from a good family who was threatened by the bully Lu Mingfei and forced to come to bed.

But judging from Lu Mingfei's trembling facial features, he also looked like the one who was threatened.

"Zero...... I don't think sleeping in the same bed for two people can solve the problem of nightmares, and it will also affect the quality of sleep, making it easier to have nightmares," Lu Mingfei stammered, "Or, why don't you go to sleep with the little goddess?" You've been roommates for a few months now, so you must have a good understanding. ”

"We were bunk beds and had never slept in a single bed." Zero said as he walked towards Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei's eyes wandered around, and he suddenly saw that Zero seemed to be holding something in his hand.

And that thing is still a little familiar, very similar to some kind of safety item given to them by Senior Brother Chu's mother when he and Su Xiaoqiao lived together before.

"Zero...... What are you taking? Lu Mingfei asked tremblingly, his voice carrying a hint of self-deceptive hope, "It's chewing gum, right?" ”

"No," Zero shook his head, calmly at a low temperature of minus 180 degrees, "it's a condom, ultra-thin." ”

"Why are you bringing this? Are you thinking about ......" Lu Mingfei's face was mixed with nine points of horror and one point of expectation.

"No, I don't hate doing this kind of thing with you, but I don't plan to do it, it's just that considering that you may be beastial, and in terms of strength, I can hardly resist, so in order to avoid causing me to get pregnant afterwards, I brought this as insurance," Zero said lightly, "I hope you can control yourself, but if you can't control it, be sure to use insurance measures." ”

"Also, please be as gentle as possible, it's my first time." Zero added.

Luming is non-petrochemical.
