Chapter 316 What a Silly Girl
"It's raining outside, Sakura."

In a small hotel in the suburbs of Tokyo, Eri was lying on the windowsill, watching the drizzle outside.

It was already late at night, and the dense drizzle seemed to have cast a veil over the city. The raindrops hitting the glass made Eri only able to see a blurry view of the outside world.

She breathed gently on the glass and wiped the window carefully with her sleeve, but it was no use no matter how many times she wiped it. The lights of the traffic outside the window looked like tassels.

"I know. In this case, we can't go out to play tomorrow." Lu Mingfei turned his head to take a look at what Eri wrote in her notebook while clicking the mouse.

He didn't know when he no longer needed to pay special attention to Eri, as he could sense when she was going to talk to him.

Lu Mingfei sometimes wondered if this was some kind of telepathy.
When Gu Ye was still at Kassel College, he always said, "You will definitely meet a girl who is right for you in the future. At that time, she may just look at you and you will know what she wants to express."

Every time after they finished speaking, Gu Ye and Xia Mi would smile at each other. Lu Mingfei didn't understand what it meant at all at that time, he just felt that he was fed a mouthful of dog food again.

But the throbbing in his heart at that moment on the Tokyo Sky Tree made Lu Mingfei feel as if he was enlightened, and he understood everything in an instant.

Perhaps Lu Mingfei's fate was already determined when he first met this girl.

He didn't know where his love came from, nor did he know how Eri felt about him.

Her intelligence is only at the level of a high school student. Even if she likes someone, she should like a cool boy, right?
For no reason, Lu Mingfei thought of Chu Zihang and Gu Ye. They were the two guys who could be liked by girls. He, a poor little guy, had always been just a background figure.

Lu Mingfei sighed and closed the webpage. He was very glad that there was a computer in this hotel, even though it was an antique machine that could only access the Internet.

But it was enough. He checked the nearest flight to Chicago, which was tomorrow afternoon.

With Eri's bloodline, she would be safe temporarily as long as she arrived in Chicago. The secret party would not let such a rare research subject suffer any loss. So Lu Ming had to take her out of Japan.

Besides, Eri has already agreed to escape with him, so the only obvious obstacles are Sheqi Bajia and Gu Ye.

"The only problem now is money." Lu Mingfei rubbed his eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, and dialed Chu Zihang's number.

"What's the matter?" Chu Zihang's voice sounded calmly.

"Brother, I need money to take Eri away from Japan." Lu Mingfei said straight to the point.

"I understand, Caesar." Chu Zihang turned around and called Caesar without hesitation.

"I understand. My card can't be used now. Let's do this... I'll ask Humpback Whale to find someone to pick you up tomorrow. They will give you enough money to go back and forth to Chicago." Caesar thought of a solution in just a few seconds.

Lu Mingfei's nose felt a little sour, and he couldn't help but ask: "Don't you two want to ask why I want to be a deserter?"

"Even if you don't tell us, we will find a chance to let you and Eri leave together." Chu Zihang said.

"Although we don't know what Eri is, Kikumasamune raised her for so many years and kept her out of sight, there must be some hidden reason."

"According to your intelligence, Kikumasamune and the King are the same person. His goal is to try to revive God. Eriya is likely to be an indispensable chess piece in his hand. Sending Eriya out of Japan may be able to interrupt Kikumasamune's plan."

"What about you? Are you going to stay in Japan?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"I feel like we're getting close to the truth, just a little bit away." Chu Zihang rejected Lu Mingfei's proposal.

Every night recently, he would feel a burning sensation from Odin's mark on his back. This was not a good sign.

"I'll stay here too. Some people shouldn't die in such a conspiracy." Caesar also shook his head. He recalled Yuan Zhisheng, who had a drink with him that night.

Maybe the tortoise was still hoping to break free from his fate? This doomed tragic ending was not what Caesar wanted to see.

He is a nobleman. How could a nobleman allow a play he doesn't like to be performed?

After a long silence, Lu Mingfei could only speak slowly: "I will come to find you after I send Eri away, wait for me!"

"Aren't you going to leave? You staying in Tokyo is of no use to us. With Gu Ye here, we won't be in much danger." Chu Zihang frowned.

"No, after all, we are a small team..." Lu Mingfei smiled.

"Tsk, spending some time with that girl really brings out some manliness in you." Caesar was amazed, he looked at Chu Zihang, the corners of his mouth slowly rising.

"That's it, let's contact each other tomorrow." Lu Mingfei said and hung up the phone.

"Sakura, are you going to let me leave alone?" Eri had come to Lu Mingfei's side without him noticing, holding up a small notebook and looking at him with a worried look.

"It's just for a while, I'll come to see you soon." Lu Mingfei touched Eri's head.

"Can I see my brother again?" Eri asked again.

Brother? Are you referring to the relatives of Sheqiba's family? Lu Mingfei pondered for a while before continuing to speak.

"Yes, Eri just needs to wait for a while, and everything will be fine. Then you won't have to stay in the little house anymore, and your family will be able to meet you normally."

Regardless of whether the White King is resurrected or not, the Eight Clans of Sheqi will probably not wait too long.

After all, the order Gen Chisei received was to kill the White King, so as long as Eri can get to a safe place, everything will end with the passage of time.

Perhaps before Yuan Zhisheng kills the White King, the White King will launch a final counterattack, but this would just be what Gu Ye wants.

The incomplete White King is still the White King, so how can it not be considered a dragon slaying? Just like the two previous Dragon Kings were killed.

Although Lu Mingfei is not very smart normally, his brain works surprisingly well at this moment.

Without the container, the White King will not be resurrected? On the contrary, without the container, the White King will speed up the resurrection process!
"Let's make a pinky promise." Eri raised her little finger.

“Okay, let’s make a pinky promise.” Lu Mingfei smiled and also stretched out his little finger to entwine it with Eiry’s thumb.

"What's the situation?" In the tent, Gen Chisei looked at the head of the Miyamoto family, Miyamoto Shio, who was busy in front of the computer.

"The situation is not good. According to the detection of the detector, biological fluctuations were indeed found underground, but they are moving." "Where is the target?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.

"They are moving along the underground Akagi River and are heading towards the Tokyo coast," said Shio Miyamoto.

"In other words, even if the gods' burial place has been blown up, the gods will still return to their hometown?" Yuan Zhisheng rubbed his temple tiredly.

After several days of sleepless nights, he was almost unable to hold on, but the news he heard now was not good.

"That's what it looks like at the moment." Miyamoto Shio nodded.

"Is there any way to stop it?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.

Miyamoto Shio turned his laptop screen to Minamoto Chisei: "The only groundwater near the Tama River is the Akagi River. Its outlet is located west of Tokyo, where it seeps out of the ground and mixes with the Tama River."

"However, twenty years ago, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government commissioned Maruyama Construction to build a new Tokyo underground drainage facility. Ganliu Research Institute also participated in the design. The project was named G-Cans, codenamed Iron Dome Temple."

"The Iron Dome Temple system extends all the way to the outlet of the Akagi River. In order to accommodate the excess water from the Akagi River and the Tama River, we built the No. 13 water storage well near the outlet. It is a giant water storage well. The water is often deep red, so it is also called the Red Well."

The blueprint of the Iron Dome Temple was displayed on the screen. A giant drainage pipe with a diameter of 12 meters branched out to the Red Well, a deep well in the mountains, less than kilometers away from the center of Tokyo.

"Fortunately, we only need to open a passage to the Red Devil River in the Red Well, and then we can push the gods and the group of dragon subspecies into the Red Well and prevent them from returning to the ocean."

"It sounds like the situation can still be saved. How long will it take to open up the Red Well?" Yuan Zhisheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"We have already started excavation. Fortunately, the location is not very remote, so we only need two more days to excavate," said Shio Miyamoto.

In fact, it would take much longer than that for just one drilling rig, but fortunately, the parent company seemed to have connections with other international companies, and they delivered two more rigs during this period.

This greatly accelerated the progress, but as a price, it seemed that the patriarch had to give up some of the shares in the family business.

Miyamoto Shio was just a researcher, and he didn't want to get involved in these conflicts of interest, so he didn't tell Yuan Zhisheng.

In his view, money is just external things, and as long as he can study the corpse of God, everything will be within his reach.

"Two days... okay, I understand." Yuan Zhisheng took a deep breath. It was two days longer than expected, but it was still within an acceptable range.

"You go ahead and do your work. I'll go look somewhere else."

There was a drizzle on the Tama River in the evening. Gen Chisei walked in the rain, watching cartloads of mercury being transported here.

An umbrella suddenly appeared above his head. He turned around subconsciously and found that Sakura had arrived without him noticing.

"It's raining, let's go back to the tent." Sakura said softly.

"Walking in the rain can actually help me relax a little bit," Yuan Zhisheng replied.

"You should go back and rest first. Don't worry. There are not many people in this city who can kill me."

But Sakura still stood quietly behind him without moving, and handed the whiskey in her other hand to Gen Chisei.

"Drink some wine, it'll warm you up."

"Thank you." Yuan Zhisheng picked up the Yamazaki whiskey and took a big gulp. The alcohol could also make him relax a little.

Sakura always knows his preferences and brings him what he wants most when he needs it most.

"Besides delivering wine to me, you must have other things to do, right?" Yuan Zhisheng spoke after finishing his drink.

"Are you really just planning to wake up God early?" Sakura asked slowly.

"You are still so smart." Yuan Zhisheng sighed.

"After all, we prepared so much mercury, it doesn't seem like we are simply trying to awaken the gods," said Sakura.

According to the agreement, the Sheqi Eight Clan only needs to awaken the god, and everything else can be left to the being named Gu Ye.

As Gen Chisei's momentum grew, Sakura had to wonder if he just wanted to awaken God.

"After all, this is the Sheqi Eight Clan's own business. I can't completely believe in that person's existence." Yuan Zhisheng said.

"But is mercury sure to kill a god?" Sakura asked.

"According to the records, no Dragon King died from mercury. They were all killed by some alchemical weapons, such as the rumored Tianyu Yuzhan and Norton's Seven Deadly Sins."

"I don't know, but we should always try our best, right?" Yuan Zhisheng said.

"Before I resign, I am still the patriarch and heir of the Sheqi Eight Clan, so I must be responsible for the family. Of course, it would be best if I could kill the god. If I can't kill it, Gu Ye will cover for us."

"But if the excessive amount of mercury fails to kill the god, it will definitely anger it. Your bloodline... will be the god's first target." Sakura looked at Yuan Zhisheng's profile.

"I will attract God's attention at that time. You find a chance to escape, inform Gu Ye, and take Eri away from Japan." Yuan Zhisheng turned his head and spoke to Sakura.

Why didn't Genji ask the people from the Yagihachi family to find Eri after she ran away from home? It turned out that he had no intention of letting Eri come back at all.

Ying was silent. She let go of the umbrella, gently hugged Yuan Zhisheng from behind, and spoke after a while.

"I will get Eri to a safe place. This is the order you gave me. But after that, I will die with you. This is my promise to you."

Since she promised to be Genchisei's beautiful girl, she must keep her promise no matter life or death. This is Sakura's rule.

"What a silly girl." Yuan Zhisheng raised his hand and gently stroked Sakura's cheek.
