Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 531 The plug-in is coming

Chapter 531 The plug-in is coming
The bullet-shaped “Hope” locomotive rumbled westward, and the wind it brought up created a pink rain of cherry blossoms on both sides of the road.

The carriage that Lu Mingfei was in was only half full. Although it was the cherry blossom season, it was not a holiday for the Japanese. Those who would take the “Nozomi” Shinkansen from Tokyo across the Tokaido to Osaka were basically foreign tourists who were as rich and free as them.

In the front row, Chen Wenwen and Liu Miaomiao were excitedly pointing at the cherry blossoms outside the window, and the Hello Kitty hairpins in their hair were clearly shaking in Lu Mingfei’s field of vision. Su Xiaoqiang was taking pictures of the scenery outside the window with his camera.

Even Zero was staring out the window, his icy blue eyes lost in thought. It seemed that girls could hardly resist pink things.

Um…pigs are probably an exception?

Lu Mingfei sighed quietly in his heart, looking at the members of his team, feeling a little weird.

Although Lu Mingfei had been prepared for the high probability that Xia Mi and Ling would follow him, he did not expect that in the end, seven people would set off to Osaka together.

Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang and Chen Wenwen occupied the three seats diagonally in front of Lu Mingfei. Xia Mi and Ling sat in the row in front of Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei and Yaji sat in the same row.

Looking at the handsome men and beautiful women, if you don’t know, you would think it is a travel variety show recorded by Mango TV!
Or maybe others may have thought they were coming to Japan to record a travel variety show.

Because a few minutes ago, a Japanese high school girl sitting in the back row came up to Lu Mingfei with a blushing face and asked in English which Korean entertainment company they were from, and she wanted to follow their company’s blog.

Obviously he went to Osaka for something important…

Lu Mingfei glanced at the train timetable and saw that they would arrive in Osaka in half an hour.

He yawned lazily, wiped away the tears from his eyes, and wondered where he should start looking for the Paradise Pavilion. He definitely couldn’t find it on the map.

How about asking the taxi drivers? Aren’t taxi drivers familiar with this kind of shady business?
“Brother Lu, did you not sleep well last night?” Yaji leaned over and asked, “You don’t seem to have much energy today. You were yawning all the way.”

No, to be honest, thanks to the help of the little goddess, Lu Mingfei slept quite well last night…

“Senior Sister, aren’t you the same? You don’t look very energetic either.” Lu Mingfei said, changing the subject.

“Hey, do I look listless?”

“Ah.”

Yaji rubbed her eyes subconsciously: “But I did fall asleep very late last night. I was always worried about whether something would happen to the professor and the others, and I was not used to sleeping in the same room with strangers…ah! I don’t have any opinion on Junior Sister Chen Wenwen, she is a very good girl. I just simply can’t get used to sleeping with others.”

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, actually, you will get used to this kind of thing if you sleep on it for a while… Just like when he was a kid and just moved into his uncle and aunt’s house, he was not used to sleeping with Lu Mingze, but later on he could even fall asleep to the sound of Lu Mingze’s snoring.

“By the way, Senior Sister Aki, are you familiar with Osaka?” Lu Mingfei suddenly asked.

Aki nodded: “I’m quite familiar with you. I studied at Osaka International School in high school. When I have nothing to do on weekends, I will go out with my classmates and play. We have basically been around Osaka. In the summer, my classmates and I will go to Wakayama to see the sea, and in the winter, we will go to Tottori to soak in hot springs. I really miss it… Junior brother, is there any place you want to go?”

Lu Mingfei said: “Well… Senior Sister, have you ever heard of a place called ‘Paradise Pavilion’?”

Aki tilted her head when she heard that, her beautiful eyebrows knitted together slightly, with an expression as if she was recalling something carefully: “Hmm… I don’t think I’ve heard of it. Is it a famous restaurant or something?”

“…Almost?” Lu Mingfei answered shamelessly.

It’s a place for entertainment, and beauty is also a feast for the eyes, there’s nothing wrong with that!

Just as Lu Mingfei expected, Senior Sister Aki, who was as clean and pure as a blank sheet of paper, would most likely have never heard of such a filthy and decadent business place as “Paradise Hall”.

But logically speaking, “Ekurakukan” should be quite famous. After all, its main businesses are gray industries such as pachinko and the sex industry. If it is hidden in a place that most people can’t find, where will it attract customers?
Yaji held her chin with one hand and looked at Lu Mingfei sideways: “I have a high school classmate who I am very close to. His family runs a chain of high-end restaurants in Osaka. If it is a restaurant, I can ask him for you, but are you sure that the restaurant called ‘Goddess of Paradise’ is open for business?”

Suddenly, everything in sight went dark, with only the electronic display on the train still on. It was the Hope train whirring through the mountain tunnel.

After hearing what Aki said, Lu Mingfei was suddenly stunned… He realized that he seemed to have made a big mistake, a very serious mistake.

It’s 2007 now.

Many things in 2007 are different from what he had in 2007. For example, in 2007, the Shinkansen “Nozomi” was still known as the “fastest” high-speed train in Asia, with a speed of 200km/h, the highest in Asia. At that time, Japan even produced an anime called “The Train” to promote their proud Shinkansen.

But after 2008, the title was given to the D460 EMU Harmony. In 2011, the fastest train in Asia became Fuxing.

He thought that as long as he could find the Paradise, he would be able to find the Source Girl. But he overlooked…

Dazzling sunlight shone in from the window. It was the “Hope” that was leaving the mountain tunnel, and Lu Mingfei was a little dazzled for a moment.

“Brother, you guessed right. In 2007, the Paradise Hall had not even been built yet.” said a clear male voice next to him.

Lu Mingfei was startled and turned around to see the boy sitting in the seat that originally belonged to Yaji. He was wearing the same black suit, white silk shirt and square-toed leather shoes as always, with his hands on his knees, like an obedient junior high school student.

Lu Mingfei raised his head and took a quick look. Sure enough, all the passengers in this carriage had disappeared.

“Long time no see, brother.” Lu Mingze smiled.

It has been a while since I last saw Lu Mingze.

In Lu Mingfei’s memory, the last time he saw the little devil was before he set out for Kuimen. He told him that the mission in Kuimen was safe and he could go there without any worries.

The last time, it seemed to be before he captured Chen Wenwen. That time, Lu Mingze gave him a cheat called “show me the money”, which allowed him to experience the feeling of being a business tycoon for a day. Jiude Mai also role-played as his personal female assistant.

Seeing Lu Mingze suddenly appear, Lu Mingfei felt more or less confident, knowing that Lu Mingze was probably giving him some plug-in that he would use soon.

However, Lu Mingfei still said in a somewhat arrogant tone: “Can you please not always show up at this time? It’s very scary, you know? It’s like a ghost.”

“Is it scary? I thought it would be superise.”

“Superise! Have you seen “The Untold Story” starring Louis Koo? Scaring people can really kill them!”

Lu Mingze shrugged: “But I’m not a human, I’m a little devil. Isn’t it natural for ghosts to scare people?” Lu Mingfei said “Pooh”: “You are the only one who can make up excuses.”

“Don’t worry, I know you are very brave. You are not afraid of the Dragon King, so how can you be scared so easily?”

Lu Mingze said, “And you know, brother, Japan is not my business scope. It’s not easy for me to come here on a business trip. Stop nitpicking.”

As soon as Lu Mingze finished speaking, he saw a hand stretched out in front of him.

Lu Mingze was stunned for a rare moment, then looked up at Lu Mingfei: “What?”

“Hacks. Didn’t you come here to give me hacks?” Lu Mingfei said as if it was a matter of course: “Since it’s not easy for you to go on a business trip, then don’t waste your time. I’ll get the hacks, and you leave. Let’s part ways.”

Lu Mingze smiled helplessly: “Brother, have any sister-in-law ever said that brother is becoming more and more shameless?”

Lu Mingfei said: “No. In your sister-in-law’s eyes, I have only good qualities.”

“Then the sisters-in-law should all go get a pair of glasses.”

Lu Mingze spread his hands, “But then again, although your idea is a little risky, it’s not a big problem. If you want to expose Eri’s existence to Kassel Academy, so that Kassel Academy can put pressure on the Snake Family to take over Eri, you can only unite with the fierce ghosts to make trouble and make Tokyo a mess, the more chaotic the better, and induce the Snake Family to let Eri show up. It doesn’t even seem like a plan you can come up with.”

“But the prerequisite is that I have to find the fierce ghosts and the source girl.” Lu Mingfei said.

Moreover, Lu Mingfei could only implement this plan after Liu Miaomiao and the others finished their journey. After all, once Tokyo became chaotic, no one knew what would happen, and Lu Mingfei might not have the time to take care of their safety.

No matter what, he couldn’t let Liu Miaomiao and the others fall into such a dangerous situation.

“It will be found.”

Lu Mingze said calmly: “The Menggui Clan has not yet developed into the underworld organization that was able to compete with the Snake Eight Clan in 2011, but it has already grown to a small scale in Osaka. There are many gray industries involving pachinko and the sex industry under its umbrella, all of which are managed by Sakurai Kogure.”

Lu Mingfei nodded. He knew who Sakurai Kogure was. She was once a member of the Sakurai family of the Snake Eight Families, but later defected from the family and joined the Ghost Clan. Now she is the third person in the Ghost Clan, ‘Ryoma’, whose status in the club is second only to ‘Dragon King’ Minamoto Chino and ‘Osho’, and she is also Minamoto Chino’s absolute confidant.

Lu Mingze reminded: “Brother, you can only contact Yuan Zhinv through Sakurai Kogure, because anyone else may sell you out to Wang Jiang. ‘Show hand’, this is the magic spell this time, and it will be effective within a week. Since you want to find the leader of the underworld society, how can you not challenge him? Chen Daozi also won 20 million with 3700 yuan. I believe, brother, you can eventually win the whole world…”

“Let’s win this time first.”

Lu Mingfei didn’t want to pay attention to Lu Mingze’s nonsense about this world and that world. His wish was not that big. It was enough for him to get rid of Herzog, take Eri away from that dangerous place, and live happily and peacefully with the girls he liked.

Just when Lu Mingfei wanted to ask Lu Mingze in detail which places in Osaka were the illegal properties of the Ghost Clan, the broadcast on the train suddenly sounded. It turned out that the terminal station, Shin-Osaka Station, was about to arrive.

During the time when Lu Mingze’s time was stopped, the “Hope” did not fall into the Mobius infinite loop as before, but continued to move forward.

Lu Mingze landed his feet on the ground with a “click” and put a map on the small table in front of Lu Mingfei’s seat.

“Well, the train is about to arrive, and I should go back soon. Brother, you should be able to use this travel guide. After all, Japan is the territory of other salesmen. If I stay here too long, I will be complained by other devils. So I hope you have a good time on this trip. It would be best if you can give me a fat nephew or something.”

Fat nephew?

“That’s not your concern!” Lu Mingfei said angrily.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately saw Aki, who was facing him, blinking at him in a daze, with an expression as if she was frightened.

Looking around, not only Aki, but also Xia Mi and Ling who were sitting in the front row, as well as Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang and Chen Wenwen who were sitting in front of him, were all looking in his direction.

Lu Mingfei: “…”

Lu Mingfei was suddenly stunned. He realized why everyone was looking at him like that.

From his perspective, he said to Lu Mingze, “That’s not your concern.”

But from other people’s perspectives after the time stop ended, he seemed to be shouting these words to Senior Sister Aki.

Damn it! He was fooled by the little devil again!

“Well, actually I’m not…”

Lu Mingfei was a little flustered. Just as he was about to explain that he was not talking to Yaji, Liu Miaomiao had already put her hands on her hips, bit her lip and glared at him:
“Nothing? I heard everything just now! Senior Sister Aki kindly reminded you to pay attention to whether the restaurant is open, but you told her ‘that’s not your concern’. How can you have such an attitude?”

“Senior Brother, you really went too far this time.” Xia Mi also muttered softly.

After Liu Miaomiao criticized Lu Mingfei, she turned around and looked at Yaji with an apologetic look on her face: “I’m sorry, Senior Sister. Mingfei’s attitude was not very good just now. I apologize to you on his behalf.”

“No, it’s okay.”

Yaji forced a smile on her face and waved her hands quickly: “I believe Junior Brother Mingfei didn’t mean that. Maybe there is some misunderstanding here.”

Right, right, it’s a complete misunderstanding! Senior sister, you understand me. Lu Mingfei nodded frantically in his heart.

“Whether it’s a misunderstanding or not, I’ve made the decision. To express my apology, Mingfei, you will be responsible for all of Senior Sister Aki’s expenses today.”

Liu Miaomiao looked at Lu Mingfei coldly: “Do you have any opinion?”

“……No comment.”
