Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 124

After barely suppressing her bloodline, Erii was able to speak. Looking at the taciturn system, she asked casually, "Can I still come back to Japan?"

"It should be possible, but the appearance might change slightly."

"Because of the White King?"

"Ah."

The system spoke concisely, without digressing, and Erii wasn't particularly interested in Japan or the White King; she was just chatting for the sake of chatting.

"Are you going to stop the White King from reviving?"

Erii remembers about the White King. If the White King were to revive, it would cause very serious consequences. Uesugi Koshi, Genjiro, and even Lu Mingfei do not want the White King to revive.

So she was summoned by Genjiro to go to sea.

"Correct."

How serious will the consequences of the White King's resurgence be?

Erii knows about the White King, but she has little concept of the specific impact of his resurgence. If you tell her that the White King will destroy the world, her limited understanding makes it difficult for her to grasp the implications of such destruction for her.

She wasn't that different from Emperor Hui, who famously asked, "Why don't they eat meat porridge?" The difference was that Emperor Hui was genuinely foolish, while she seemed like a monkey who had suddenly appeared in modern civilization from the grasslands.

She learned what others taught her and did it, but she didn't know why she did it; her life had no meaning.

The system replied, "Japan will sink..."

It's hard for Erii to understand when you talk about things that don't concern her...

[...This world is vast; the Earth's equatorial circumference is 4 kilometers, and there are countless people and places. But for Erii, Paris, New York, Cairo, Beijing, and Moscow are all irrelevant to her. Her world consists only of the people she knows, and what she is familiar with is her world...]

Based on this analysis, the system changed its tune and told her, "Many more people will die, including your brother and your father."

"No, no." Lu Mingfei jumped in and said to the system, "Yuan Zhisheng and the others can run away on their own, and Erii is the kind of person who respects the fate of others, so she probably won't feel anything about this."

You should tell her that her game console and toys will be destroyed; that's the only way to fully explain the damage caused by the White King's resurgence.

The system's explanation is enough to show the pros and cons to an ordinary person with sound cognition, but Erii, who has impaired cognition, is like those stubborn old people. What she truly cares about and cherishes most is what she owns.

Like the elderly people in the hospital who secretly pull out their tubes because they feel uncomfortable. They know there's a problem, but they still do it. It's only when their children tell them that it costs 5000 yuan to reinsert the tubes that things change...

Erii's reaction was indeed as Lu Mingfei had said; her reaction to the matter of Uesugi Koshi and Genji was rather lukewarm.

The system immediately absorbed the essence of Lu Mingfei's view and said, "Your toys and your game console will all disappear after the world is destroyed."

Erii finally understood the dangers of the White King's resurgence, and her eyes widened immediately: "Then I..."

"Your brother and the others don't want you involved in this; it's their business," the system said.

Erii needs a place to stay if she wants to go abroad, so why can't it be my home? The system has always coveted this dragon-slaying weapon, but unfortunately Lu Mingfei keeps holding her back, otherwise Erii would have been kidnapped by the system long ago.

After considering the context, both the system and Lu Mingfei roughly guessed Genjiro's thoughts: Genjiro wanted to be worthy of the Snake-Headed Eight Families and Erii, and Erii also wanted to be worthy of her family...

They didn't know what the Snake-Headed Eight Families gave to Genji, but Erii did indeed have a pitiful life within the Snake-Headed Eight Families. After discovering that his sister had a chance to escape her original fate, Genji, her older brother, asked Erii to help the Snake-Headed Eight Families one last time.

After all, Erii had only survived thanks to the Jade Serpent Clan, and she owed them that debt. After the operation at the Japan Trench, Erii paid off her debts to the family, and Lu Mingfei took over her subsequent treatment, so she no longer owed the Jade Serpent Clan anything.

Since the Snake-Headed Eight Families never really treated her as a person, but rather as a weapon, her debts were extremely limited... Genji felt that she should have her own life.

Lu Mingfei thought this was probably what Genjiro was thinking. Perhaps Genjiro was just an upright and honest person?

The system could apply the Alchemy Matrix to Erii in a day, but at this critical juncture, unexpected events could occur at any time. The system also did not want to put a fatigue debuff on Lu Mingfei's body, lest he be unable to cope with emergencies.

Working and resting intermittently, it took a day and a half to finish a day's worth of work.

It was completely dark outside, and it had been raining continuously. Tokyo, and even the entire Tokyo Bay area, had not seen the sun for more than 24 hours.

The light rain turned into a downpour, and the wind grew stronger, accompanied by panic among the people.

Due to the internal pressure issues of Mount Fuji, the Japanese government, after studying the situation for a day and a night, was unable to come up with any solutions and had no choice but to release the information... This caused great panic in Japan, especially in cities near Mount Fuji, such as Tokyo.

Japanese assets are being frantically sold off, especially fixed assets such as real estate. However, there are few buyers, and anyone with a modicum of common sense has seen the Japanese government's reports.

No one knows the full extent of the impact of the Mount Fuji eruption, as volcanic eruptions can be accompanied by earthquakes. Mount Fuji is Japan's largest active volcano, and Tokyo is located near the coast; what if a tsunami were to sweep through Tokyo?

It can only be said that after the report on the Mount Fuji volcano was released, Japanese assets were sold off at crazy discounts, and as time went on, they were even sold at rock-bottom prices.

But still, few people were willing to take over, with only a few heavily gambling individuals betting that the accident wouldn't have a significant impact on Japan and Tokyo...

Erii was packing her things when Lu Mingfei casually called Su Enxi: "Have you started making money yet?"

Although Su Enxi was in Tokyo, Japan, facing the same dire situation, she still spoke with great enthusiasm when Lu Mingfei brought it up: "I made a killing in the forex market! Guess how many times I leveraged and how much I earned?..."

In addition to quickly selling off physical assets, Su Enxi also made a heavy bet on shorting the Japanese yen in the foreign exchange market, but she had too much money and couldn't make it dozens or hundreds of times more at once.

Every time Su Enxi comes here, she misses the days when she only had a few million dollars. Because of the small amount of capital, plenty of people were willing to take over, and she could multiply her capital many times over in no time. Instead, she struggled to double her money even now. Theoretically, she could earn more, but in reality, she couldn't. Even if she dug up every last penny of the investors, she still wouldn't earn that much. After all, other people's money is also limited.

Along with her, there are also many international funds that are living off Japan's financial support. The world's second-largest economy could easily launch a lavish feast.

It is foreseeable that this eruption of Mount Fuji will deal another heavy blow to the already severely damaged Japanese economy.

However, it wasn't so easy for those who wanted to escape the city or Japan, and they each faced new situations.

Roads are severely congested, and people rushing to escape are prone to traffic accidents... The airport's capacity is just a drop in the ocean for those who want to fly...

However, this had no effect on Erii. On the roof of Genji Heavy Industries, two black helicopters were reserved for Lu Mingfei and Erii.

One of the helicopters was arranged for Erii by Genjiro. She would take the helicopter to the airport to board a private plane and leave Japan, escorted by several people, to seek refuge in China.

The other helicopter was arranged by Su Enxi for Lu Mingfei. He would take it to the place he wanted to go, otherwise, given the road conditions in Tokyo, driving would be slower than walking, which would be too much of a hassle.

Before boarding the helicopter, Erii suddenly asked Lu Mingfei, "Aren't you coming with me?"

She hugged the things in her arms tightly. There wasn't much inside; they were just her toys, dolls, and game consoles.

But she really cared about these "worthless" things, because they were some of the few things she owned. Each little item had her name on it, and some were things she'd bought with Lu Mingfei when they went out, so they had both their names on them.

When Lu Mingfei initially didn't intend to be exposed to the Sheqi family's gaze, she didn't write Lu Mingfei's name on it, but simply made a mark to indicate his special status. Later, when Lu Mingfei stepped forward, she openly changed the mark to Lu Mingfei's name.

Lu Mingfei waved his hand: "Don't worry about me. If things don't go well, I might get to China before you."

Su Enxi had prepared the evacuation route and arrangements. If she really wanted to evacuate Japan, there would be no obstacles, and she would probably be able to run faster than anyone else.

However, before Erii boarded the helicopter, Lu Mingfei cautiously had the pilots of the two helicopters switch places.

The little devil said that Erii was the most suitable host for the White King, while the Snake-Headed Eight Family driver arranged by Genji was not so reliable... It would be better to let Su Enxi arrange for someone to deliver it.

The helicopter pilot arranged by Yuan Zhisheng naturally had objections, but Lu Mingfei told him to contact Yuan Zhisheng.

When Yuan Zhisheng learned of Lu Mingfei's request, he was somewhat puzzled. He had the helicopter pilot hand the phone to Lu Mingfei and asked, "Why?"

"I have sources that Erii's body is the most suitable for the White King's parasitic revival."

Genjiro was silent for a moment after hearing his words, then said, "Alright, let's do it your way. Replace the person who takes Erii to the airport with your own. Do you have anyone who can pilot the plane? Since there might be a problem here, let's replace the pilot as well."

Upon suddenly learning this news, he acted decisively and immediately replaced all the people who were picking up and dropping off Erii, to avoid even the slightest risk of Erii being abducted.

However, what Genjiro thought was absolutely right! It suited the system's purposes perfectly.

"it is good."

Lu Mingfei called Su Enxi again.

As for the sudden need to find a pilot, Su Enxi immediately took the job: "OK, Boss Lu, I'll have our pilot fly the plane to take her there."

Lu Mingfei asked instinctively, "Then what about our pilot..."

If things don't go well, their plane will have to take off too; it's not like you can fly with just one wing...

Su Enxi said nonchalantly, "Actually, Sanwu, Changtui, and I can all fly planes. Having a plane is enough. Whether we need a pilot or not doesn't affect us much. We don't fly them normally just because it's unnecessary."

Three women can fly planes? Such a high-class job... Lu Mingfei didn't know what to say. After a long while, he finally said, "Then you are really... multi-talented."

"Of course, otherwise why would we be valued by the boss?"

After hanging up the phone, Erii boarded the helicopter with a new pilot.

The helicopter slowly took off, and Lu Mingfei waved to her, "Goodbye."

Erii waved to him in the same manner and replied, "Goodbye."

Just before the helicopter left, Lu Mingfei seemed to see worry and reluctance in her eyes.

Her insensitivity to death doesn't mean she's unaware of it. Over a thousand people had died in the Japan Trench, nearly a thousand of them, and she knew they would never wake up and speak again.

But she didn't know what to say. She had always been indecisive and had always followed her family's plans, spending the rest of her time sleeping, playing with toys, and playing video games...

She wanted to go out and see the world, so she ran away from home. She knew which places were fun and wanted to go there. She simply wanted to escape and have fun; it was a state of mind driven by curiosity…

Genjiro could have simply told her directly that he wanted to go to the Japan Trench; there was no need to lie to her. She wouldn't refuse, after all, she'd been doing it this way for so many years, she had no reason to object...

Now, it's Lu Mingfei's turn to take on Bai Wang. That will kill people, just like the operation in the Japanese trench. They will close their eyes forever, never to speak again, and never to wake up again.

She didn't want Lu Mingfei to fight Bai Wang, because she was afraid that Bai Wang would kill Lu Mingfei... But she really didn't know how to persuade him, because Lu Mingfei seemed to have a plan and arrangements. If she said she didn't want Lu Mingfei to go, would Lu Mingfei stop going?

"It must be an illusion, right?"

Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment. In the dim light of the rain and wind, his eyesight wasn't very good, and he couldn't see very clearly.

However, he didn't dwell on the matter too much. He boarded the helicopter and instructed the pilot to take him to his destination.

He needs to consolidate his existing forces, including the new recruits from the Oni Clan, Sakurai Akira's team, and Xia Mi Chu Zihang and his companion.

As for keeping an eye on Red Well, let's see how things go. If White King's recovery is really bad, then we can consider taking him out.

He wasn't afraid of going up against the King's men; they were all mixed-race, so who was afraid of whom? Not to mention, in this kind of regular battle, there was Kassel College protecting them.

If Bai Wang recovers well, then we can run away immediately. How could we possibly confront Bai Wang head-on? He has several lives, how dare he be so reckless?

Chapter 157 Erii-san Loses Control!

"93 people were expected, and 93 people are present. Lord Lu, everyone has arrived."

Sakurai Akira was reporting to Lu Mingfei, while behind him, men and women stood on either side, waiting for Lu Mingfei to give orders.

Ninety-three people isn't a lot; it's not even a full-strength company. But what's valuable is that these people are all combat-type hybrids, with the lowest rank being B.

Xia Mi and Chu Zihang distributed pagers to them, and the system gave Sakurai Akira and Sakurai Kogure the battle plan: "You two go here and wait..."

Sakurai Kogure first accepted the system's plan, then asked, "Sir, it seems like there's no point in sending our small group anywhere, right? It won't affect the overall situation."

There are 93 people, which is ten times the number of the Snake Clan and the Kassel College. They may even have higher combat skills.

Therefore, Sakurai Kogure didn't quite understand Lu Mingfei's plan to add icing on the cake.

"Don't question orders while on a mission." The system glanced at the woman, paused, and then said, "But this is your first operation, so I can understand your curiosity..."
