Chapter 51 Lu Xun and Zhou Shuren, Nuonuo and Chen Motong
Angers looked up at Lu Mingfei. Even with the flow of time slowed to zero, he could feel the life force within Constantine rapidly draining away.
It's like an hourglass being torn open.
The young boy rapidly lost all his vitality, his dragon-like form turning to ashes, leaving only his body.
Wrinkles instantly covered the other person's body, just like moss that deliberately dries out to survive, only to be revived by water.
But Constantine had no chance of being resurrected by water.
Time zero is resolved.
Lu Mingfei and Angers landed on the ground. Lu Mingfei took his Benevolent and Righteous Gu Ying Zi Wu Yuan Yang Long Hu Ying Xiong Feng Huang Nian Qi Xing Wu Qing Shuang Gu Jian and sheathed it.
Constantine landed after the other two.
It was a cross-shaped skeleton. It was said to be human, but it had a third eye and wings that did not conform to human features. It was said to be a dragon, but to anyone who looked at it, it resembled the skeleton of a child.
Looking at the small skull with three eye sockets, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but squat down and reach out to touch the other person's head, his tone filled with a sigh.
"Death is not scary; death is like a cool summer night, allowing one to sleep peacefully without worry."
"You like Heine?"
Lu Mingfei looked up, and the complex emotions in his eyes made Angers, who had come forward to speak, stop talking.
A gust of wind brushed past their faces, filling Lu Mingfei with doubt.
What he was thinking was, "Who is Heine?"
Yes, although it was the literary society, one reason Lu Mingfei was reluctant to mention was that he joined the literary society to pursue Chen Wenwen, a rather peculiar girl.
So he didn't read much, except for the books Chen Wenwen recommended to him.
In other words, he genuinely believed that Cao Cao had said those words, and his complicated expression was simply due to embarrassment.
Because he thought Cao Cao's words sounded cool at the time, he would say them to the generals he had killed whenever he had the chance. Now that he thinks about it... sigh.
But the students had already gathered around, so Lu Mingfei reflexively stood up straight, looking pretentious.
He was used to it; this was how he boosted morale. He was the backbone of his soldiers. As long as he stood on the front line like a charismatic figure, the soldiers would not run away but would fight to the last moment.
...Well, to this day he still doesn't know why Liu Bei shouted that he wanted to commit suicide, but it's good that it strengthened his resolve to join Cao Cao.
Just as Lu Mingfei was about to lose his composure, Angers walked over and raised Lu Mingfei's arm high.
As a shrewd old man, he knew best what to do in this situation.
"This is our new student, Lu Mingfei! He slew one of the four great monarchs right from the start of his studies! A new chapter in history has been written! He is the most brilliant stroke in that chapter! And so are you!"
The students looked at him with excitement and admiration, but Angers' words were still flowing, passionate and inspiring.
"I'm thrilled to announce once again! To celebrate, all dine-in meals in the cafeteria will be free tomorrow night! And drinks are all-you-can-drink!!"
"oh!!!!!"
The students immediately cheered, their shouts shaking the sky.
-----------------
The night the cafeteria party ended.
Lu Mingfei, Caesar, and Chu Zihang, the three student leaders chosen by the journalism department, are currently sitting in Angers' office.
This is the top floor of the principal's office. There's a table lamp, four bone china cups, and four people sitting in the shadows where the light doesn't reach.
They could hear the wind whistling outside, with a strange rhythm. The atmosphere was very quiet, with only the cups steaming.
Angers raised a toast.
"It's rare for me to invite three students to my evening tea party at the same time. You're all welcome."
"Why aren't the lights on? Speaking of which, Principal, the soundproofing in your office is a bit poor. Could it be that the renovation team took a cut? The wind is louder here than outside."
Lu Mingfei did not raise his glass in response; he was grumbling because the liquid in his glass was not alcohol.
Thus, the magnificent structure of the principal's office roof, which could turn the sound of the wind into a rhythm, was distorted by Lu Mingfei into a shoddy construction project.
But Angers just shrugged, then turned around, took a bottle of wine from the cabinet, and threw it into Lu Mingfei's arms.
"Today! We gather in solidarity! Let's raise our glasses in celebration! It's all to faithfully fulfill the principal's mission. Principal, you know, I was already a fan of yours even before I entered the school."
Although he hadn't said anything yet, Lu Mingfei had clearly agreed to the principal's request.
This caused Angers' lips to twitch slightly.
That's right. As we all know, if you want to hide a document, put it in the archives; if you want to hide a drop of water, put it in the ocean.
He knew the inside story of the dragon race. Constantine's resurrection and death awakened Norton, and the mission targeting Norton would undoubtedly involve Lu Mingfei.
But you can't just bring Lu Mingfei; that would seem too much like an arbitrary appointment.
Fortunately, the Silverwing Society has already approved the application for the two-person club that Lu Mingfei and Ling formed.
Although Lu Mingfei complained that the name sounded strangely like the Renyi Society, which has a Northeastern accent.
But he didn't form any clubs. He was the president and Ling was the vice president. Ling said if he didn't like it, he should start his own club, so the lazy Lu Mingfei gave up.
In short, Angers could use the excuse of inviting the three major societies to drag Lu Mingfei along.
After all, it's too arbitrary to only ask Lu Mingfei, but if we only ask Lu Mingfei and Caesar or Chu Zihang... well, you're looking down on another club?
Even a school principal needs to be impartial.
Fortunately, the freshman social club had already been divided up by the Lionheart Club and the student council because Lu Mingfei refused to join, so there was no need to find someone else. You could only say they were incredibly efficient.
As for these three people in front of me...
Compared to Lu Mingfei, who's a real character, Caesar and Chu Zihang are obviously serious people... Caesar isn't that serious, but he's not as unserious as Lu Mingfei either.
So, Angers tapped on the table, drawing everyone's attention before Lu Mingfei could finish the bottle of wine.
"Last night's incident was the awakening of the first-generation Constantine, and as a result, the awakening of dragons will be accelerated."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three men changed. Caesar and Chu Zihang both looked at Angers, while Lu Mingfei stared at the principal's wine cabinet, seemingly planning his route to steal wine with Guderian in the future.
Angers didn't care about Lu Mingfei's side and continued speaking.
"Next February, we will carry out a mission codenamed 'Bronze' on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the same location where the Moniach previously conducted its mission."
He glanced at the three of them, then continued speaking.
"This should have been the task of the Executive Department, but the Executive Department's personnel are scattered all over the world and are difficult to mobilize. In addition, some of them need to stay at the school, after all, we have just been invaded."
"So you want our club to send someone for this mission? But Zero and I are just freshmen, isn't that a bit too much?"
Lu Mingfei spoke without hesitation, but Angers had clearly come up with a plan. He pointed to the wine cabinet behind him.
"Take as much as you want, and you'll get full marks on all your courses this semester, resulting in a GPA of 4.0."
"Wait a minute, killing Constantine doesn't earn academic credits? Shouldn't it at least give me some moral education points?"
Despite his complaints, Lu Mingfei appeared in front of the principal's liquor cabinet as fast as the wind, instantly piling all the liquor inside into a small mountain in his arms.
The speed made Angers curious whether Lu Mingfei would also have a time limit of zero.
"I'd be happy to participate, but whether Zero goes or not is her own decision."
Lu Mingfei, having packed up the drinks, returned to his seat and began to speak seriously.
"Among the student council members, I recommend Chen Motong, Pacino..."
Caesar took a sip of hot tea and rattled off a string of names. Lu Mingfei was curious why Nuonuo wasn't included, thinking that Caesar was probably a romantic who couldn't bear to send his wife to the battlefield.
In comparison, Chu Zihang was more... willing to sacrifice family for the greater good?
He brought up his rumored girlfriend, Susie, without mentioning it to others.
