The serum is effective.
Because the system took this from Genjiro on a whim, saying it was for research, and after giving out three vials, there was still serum left, so they weren't afraid of two more people stepping forward.
This serum, derived from the fetal blood of Deadpool's unborn child, is extremely precious. It was only because the previous user was Erii that it didn't have much effect and could only temporarily suppress Erii's bloodline.
If this effect were applied to ordinary dangerous hybrids, one dose would be enough to bring their gradually out-of-control bloodline back to its original state.
It's not a permanent solution; it only brings the bloodline back to its slow, upward trajectory... but for a dangerous hybrid that is on the verge of death, it's enough.
After the other two received the serum, the drug took effect, and they also bowed down without hesitation.
These three were all old ghosts, and they knew them inside and out... The remaining ghosts' eyes lit up with desire.
The system calmly replied, "This is only an emergency measure, lasting at most six months, and it's very expensive, so it can only be used in emergencies."
The real cure for your bloodline issues isn't this. The Living Alchemy Matrix technique can maintain your bloodline for at least three to five years, and it's much more cost-effective, making it impossible for me to abandon any of you.
Three to five years? Good quality and low price? Really?
The remaining ghosts got excited. Once their bloodline took effect, it could last for 3 to 5 years. So what was the difference between them and ordinary people?
There's absolutely no worry about bloodline!
I've never heard of Living Alchemy Matrix Technology or anything like that, but we can learn about it later. Let's get on board first!
Chapter 153 The Volcano in Flames, The White King Returns
All they wanted was to live.
This wasn't the first time Lu Mingfei had witnessed the raw survival instinct emanating from people.
Logically speaking, they should have been most motivated when their bloodline issues were finally resolved.
This is all too familiar to Lu Mingfei. It's like a hot-blooded teenager, otherwise, once the initial excitement wears off and he calms down, he won't be as excited or motivated.
However, the king's employees have already stopped working. Perhaps the White King's remains are on their way home, and the banging on their doorstep might scare them away...
So it's a pity we can't take advantage of the current high level of cohesion to launch a full-scale attack and completely thwart the King's schemes and defeat the White King, the White Emperor, along with him.
While Yuan Zhisheng and the others were still guessing, Lu Mingfei, relying on his years of infiltration with the help of Jiu De Mai, had already caught Wang Jiang by the tail.
However, it's not advisable to make any moves right now... Dozens of people may seem like a lot, but small-scale operations are the most cost-effective approach. Head-on confrontations are too risky and can easily result in injuries.
For direct combat, we still need the Snake Clan and Kassel College; they have more people and can withstand losses.
Before that, the system plunged into the laboratory to purify the dragon's blood.
After several more rounds of alchemical purification, two dragon blood crystals, each the size of a fingertip, were produced. However, how to use them was a problem; living organisms are not mechanical engines that can be powered simply by adding fuel.
Absorbing the active energy of dragon blood and converting it into Lu Mingfei's physical energy is a major problem. Human body alchemy matrix... The system turned its gaze to the imprisoned ghost.
These dangerous mixed-race men and women, all possessing sufficient combat power, were currently fixed on the experimental table, like fish on a chopping board.
However, the system closed the door and headed towards Genji Heavy Industries. This trip to Japan had already been incredibly profitable, and if the White King's remains could be killed, eliminating a potential threat to the world would be even better.
Genji Heavy Industries was unusually busy today, as they were currently searching for the location of the Well of Corpses mentioned by Uesugi Echizen. It was confirmed to be on Japanese soil, as the Well of Corpses had been offered as tribute by the ancient Snake-Headed Eight Families and was described as a sea of ice and fire…
Geological information files from all over Japan were brought here in an attempt to find a place where ice and fire meet.
“Principal Angers, Mr. Lu Mingfei has arrived. He has come to see the head of the family and you, Principal Angers.”
"Oh, okay, bring him to see me."
"Ok."
A moment later, Lu Mingfei walked over and saw Angers wearing glasses and flipping through a book.
This kind of thing could be delegated to subordinates, but time was of the essence, and there was nothing else more important to do. Angers really didn't want to waste a single second, so he also helped search for information about the Well of Bones.
"Principal Angers," the system greeted, then asked, "Where is Yuan Zhisheng? Where did he go?"
"Tachibana Masamune was killed by the King and his men, but there are suspicious points in this matter. Genjiro is leading a team to investigate." Angers looked up from the documents and asked the composed Lu Mingfei, "What brings you here?"
The other side is well aware of the current situation in Japan, yet they seem completely unfazed, which puzzles Angers.
Lu Mingfei was somewhat surprised to hear this, not expecting that Tachibana Masamune would be killed so quickly.
The system said, "I want to know if the alliance between Kassel College and the Snake Clan can really offer any hope of fighting against the resurgence of the White King's Remains and the mastermind behind it?"
Angers did not display strong confidence in front of the son of his old friend, but pragmatically said: "Even if I say I can, it depends on whether the White King and those behind-the-scenes manipulators cooperate. You know, this incident is far more complicated than just the White King's resurrection."
Kassel College and the Snake Clan possess considerable power, but it is also limited; however, the opponent's power is not limitless either.
Now it's a battle of who has more information and who has more power, but if we're only talking about the power that's been revealed, the advantage is with me.
Having ruled out the unknown mastermind behind the scenes, Angers is confident enough to say that he is the strongest in the open.
Suddenly, Angers seemed to realize something and raised an eyebrow: "Do you want to leave Japan?"
At this critical juncture, it's normal for people to have a lot of thoughts, but asking too many questions is not a good idea.
Only those who want to back down keep asking how well they can hold out; those who don't want to back down don't care about how well they can hold out at all.
"I don't have that idea yet. The divine power of the White King's remains hasn't been fully displayed, so we can wait and see how things develop." The system was quite frank with Angers.
Because Angers is responsible for the overall command and coordination of the White King's recovery in Japan, it would be bad if Angers had too high expectations of Lu Mingfei.
Upon hearing this, Angers took out a cigar, lit it, and after the deadly cigar had passed through his lungs, he sorted out his thoughts and said to him, "If you retreat once, you will retreat a second time. If you want to take the path of slaying dragons, I advise you to be brave this time."
Confidence isn't something you build by constantly retreating. If you retreat time and time again, when you truly need to slay the dragon, will you still have the confidence to face it?
Angers still had some patience for the descendants of his deceased friends, after all, Lu Mingfei's great-grandfather and parents had fought bloody battles for humanity.
"I know that, I just want to understand the strength of the dragon-slaying team," the system asked patiently.
The more Angers looked at this old friend, the more he felt he resembled a deserter…
Influenced by this way of thinking, he said with a somewhat cold look in his eyes, "We have the strength on our side, but we don't know how strong the other side is. If we can win, we will completely crush the White King. If we can't win, we will fight to the last man and never retreat a single step."
It's understandable that Uesugi wanted to run away. Whether Japan lived or died was none of his business. In fact, Japan and Uesugi had some kind of hatred between them, and he didn't have many years left to live... It's also understandable that Lu Mingfei wanted to run away. Given his background, it's good enough that he didn't gloat behind his back.
However, judging solely from the matter of slaying the dragon, such a retreat is hard to respect.
The system naturally picked up on Angers' change in expression, and Lu Mingfei found it hard to remain calm when he saw this.
After all, he wasn't a complete deserter. Even if the system wanted to leave, it wouldn't be affected or become hesitant like an ordinary person.
Not to mention that he had only been in the industry for half a year and had already encountered the second boss. Who could imagine such an unbelievable plot... Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that Angers seemed to be on a similar path? It seems that he also encountered the Dragon King right after his debut... No, that's not right. Angers had been in the industry for many years before encountering the Dragon King of Kassel Manor. He was the one who had just left the newbie village and was already fighting the boss.
As Lu Mingfei compared himself to Angers, the system spoke up, "Principal Angers, your provocation is quite tactful. However, I have my own plans, and you need not worry about my confidence in slaying the dragon."
In fact, Angers is oblivious to whether the system discriminates against him or not. His pride and provocations are like roadside weeds to the system; it doesn't even know what those weeds are called.
Angers was slightly surprised that his provocation had no effect on the young man.
Because Lu Mingfei is only a teenager, at the age when he is young, passionate, and competitive, yet he can take these emotions so lightly... No wonder he is a child with big problems; his problems are linked to his abilities.
Angers' expression returned to normal, and he asked, "So what brings you here to see us?"
"Regarding the whereabouts of the White King's remains after leaving the Abyss."
"This is important," Angers said. "We've already found some clues on this..."
He described the Well of Remains, and that during the Uesugi era, the Snake Clan had already begun searching for the Well of Remains. However, according to the plan, starting from Hachioji City, without a major breakthrough in the technology of the Earth-Gathering Sect, it would take at least 100 years to slowly explore the area...
Upon hearing this description, the system's first reaction was that something was amiss, because the location where the king was digging seemed to have nothing to do with this guess.
"Bring me the map of the location you're looking for."
"what happened?"
"The king has two groups of subordinates. One group consists of the Ghost Clan, and the other group consists of researchers. The researchers are currently in the outskirts of Tokyo."
"You tracked down the king's movements?" Angers was pleasantly surprised to hear the name.
Because this king knows so much, figuring things out on your own might not be correct, but following the king's lead is highly likely to be the right path!
“Yes, his people are…” The system nodded, looking at the Tokyo map brought by the people below, and finally pointed to a location: “Red Well, the water storage well of the Tokyo Metropolitan Drainage Project.”
"The Well of Hidden Bones is here? That can't be right."
Angers had roughly looked at the geological information near Tokyo Bay and still remembered the direction the system was pointing.
This location doesn't match the contrasting elements of ice and fire in the Well of Bones.
"You're half right. The Well of Hidden Bones isn't here, but it's possible to reach it from here, so the King's choice was actually correct..."
When the system pointed out this location, its powerful analysis function immediately activated, combining the surrounding geological information with the description of the well containing the remains, and quickly deduced the answer.
"There are two underground rivers nearby, the Tama River and the Akagi River. One is a cold-water river, and the other is a hot-water river heated by volcanoes. They converge here..."
The system pointed to a canyon called Thunder Canyon, where thunderous sounds erupt from beneath the valley floor due to the confluence of hot and cold water.
If a passage were to be dug through the Red Well to intercept and divert the underground river water of Thunder Valley into the Red Well... the remains of the White King would be trapped like a turtle in a jar.
This is Wang Jiang's plan. He is not only familiar with the mixed-race forces in Japan, but also with the habits of dragons, and even more familiar with the mythology of the ancient Snake-Headed Eight Families!
Angers was stunned when he heard the system's words. The confluence of cold and hot rivers—wasn't that a world of ice and fire?
Under such temperature variations, no living organism could survive, thus failing to provide the necessary nutrients for the White King's remains to grow. The ancient Serpent Clan found this ideal location, dug a well, placed the White King's remains inside, and successfully and effectively suppressed them for thousands of years.
"And there's more good news." The system looked up at Angers and said, "The revival of the White King's remains is not going smoothly. It is still in a very weak state and has no power to resist the water channel that the King is digging!"
The phrase "powerless to resist" is merely an adjective; any normal creature thrown anywhere would likely be unable to withstand the force of such a massive flow of water.
After the passage was opened, the underground river water rushed down like a flood. The huge inertial potential difference and other impact forces were simply beyond the resistance of normal organisms. The difficulty was like a fish trying to swim upstream against a waterfall.
But the mighty White King doesn't even have this kind of resistance. If it's not that the king made a mistake, then the White King's power must have plummeted to rock bottom!
Angers only then snapped out of his surprise at learning the White King's location: "Yes! The power of the White King's remains is still very weak... but the King will place these people in the Red Well..."
He began to think about how to handle the situation.
The location of the White King's remains has been found, but there's still a king lurking nearby.
Whether to launch an offensive against the Red Well, which is currently under the control of the King, or to hide behind the scenes and reap the benefits is a question...
He was just about to discuss his views on the matter with Lu Mingfei when his phone rang.
The phone number on his work phone forced Angers to answer it first to find out what had happened.
Immediately following that, Lu Mingfei's cell phone rang.
Su Enxi.
President Su's call was definitely not about talking about missing you; it must be about something important, so the system answered the call.
