Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 270 Confrontation with the Devil

"I'm looking forward to that day." said the humpback whale happily.

"Thank you for your words. Then I will... go find those two first. There are some things I need to explain to them."

The humpback whale understood and stood up. "Then I'll get busy. The store still needs to be cleaned up."

"Well, as for the other four, I'll have to trouble you to continue taking care of them."

"Not really. They were the ones who helped Takamagahara through the difficult times."

After the humpback whale left, Han Qiu stared at the mirror for a long time.

"Su Enxi, Jiude Mai, I know you are hiding in the back, don't force me to use force."

No one responded and no one opened the door.

Han Qiu took off his windbreaker and rolled up his wrists and fists.

Just as he was about to smash the mirror with a punch, the picture in the mirror changed.

It was no longer his own appearance, but a young man in a suit sitting upright on a dark carved wooden chair, scarlet wine swaying in the glass in his hand.

"Are you angry?" he asked.

Han Qiu stopped his hand, his rage grew, but he was also surprised and confused.

He looked at the boy in the mirror and asked, "Lu Mingze?"

"That's right." Lu Mingze gestured to Han Qiu to drink together, and then drank it down on his own. "I arranged it, it has nothing to do with them two."

"So you get scared sometimes." Han Qiu sneered.

"Do you think so? I just think that some things are better explained to you in person."

Han Qiu pulled a chair over and sat in front of the mirror. "What do you want to say?"

"I've seen your plan, it's perfect." Lu Mingze said, "But I don't think such a plan can succeed. You are too greedy, you can't save everyone."

"How will you know if you don't try?"

"I'm not in the mood to try with you. After Su Enxi told me the situation, I became curious." Lu Mingze said, "From the time you showed up until now, you've tried your best to prevent Lu Mingfei from encountering... something called love. I don't know why you stopped Chen Motong from doing something with him in the beginning, but I can understand why your plan this time was to make Lu Mingfei get to know as few people from the Sheqi Eight Families as possible, such as that... container."

"Don't you think it's a bit rude to address a beautiful girl like that?"

"I can apologize for my words, but can you apologize for your deception?" Lu Mingze stood up and walked forward slowly, "Not only did you want to save everyone, you also wanted to snatch the title of Bai Wang from a group of people."

Han Qiu did not write down his guess about the final outcome in the plan, and he did not tell anyone, including Xia Mi.

The ultimate goal of the plan is to prevent Herzog from usurping the throne, and Lu Mingfei will kill the Yamata no Orochi personally.

Such an ending only requires the death of one Herzog and all of Herzog's fanatical followers among the ghosts.

"You guessed it? That's right, nothing can be hidden from you." Han Qiu was not surprised.

"They think it's OK because they don't know Herzog or the purpose of the manipulator behind all this."

"Don't tell me you just know that?"

"I knew it when I saw that girl." Lu Mingze raised his head and drank the red wine in the glass. "But you, you can see clearly without ever meeting each other, and you can set up such a plan, manipulate the details, and take other people's achievements into your pocket. I really look at you with new eyes. But how is your behavior different from that of Herzog who wants to usurp the throne?"

"At least I don't need a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood."

"The road to becoming a king is filled with mountains of blood and corpses. The throne is made of piles of bones. Both Herzog and Lu Mingfei will take this path."

Han Qiu said indifferently: "At least I don't need it, which means you are wrong."

"You are indeed an exception. The death of Nidhogg marked the glory of the hybrids. In a way, it was the death of the king that returned the blood of the throne to the world, which led to glory."

"Don't you hate Nidhogg the most? Why do you make him sound like a victim?"

"Being forced to sacrifice or willing to sacrifice is both sacrifice, there is no difference. When he is alive, the throne is there, and when he dies, the throne collapses. The difference between everyone dying and me dying alone is that someone has to die in the end." Lu Mingze said with a particularly appreciative look, "I am saving you."

Han Qiu was stunned in his position, "Save me...what do you mean?"

"When one door opens, another one closes. Even I wouldn't dare to be like you, always walking ahead of others to block the other door and leave them with only one choice."

"But the other door means death," said Han Qiu.

"Yes, they will live, but you... will die." Lu Mingze said, "If you block their door to death, you will only have the door to death. You will have no choice. Do you understand what I mean? Didn't that existence tell you about this?"

Han Qiu suppressed the urge to ask Mr. Han now, "Lu Mingze, is this why you ruined my plan? Do you still want to use the death of some people to build Lu Mingfei's throne?"

Han Qiu didn't want Lu Mingfei to get too close to Eri or even these monsters in Japan.

But as soon as he stopped keeping an eye on them, Su Enxi and Jiude Mai did not go as planned.

"Yes, but it will be good for you, you should accept it."

"I don't accept it, sorry. I don't even care whether Lu Mingfei can ascend the throne. At worst, I can come here myself and he can live his life in peace." Han Qiu said calmly: "Didn't you say to give him a choice? He seems to have no choice at all, because you know him and know that he will never choose another one!"

"But when he was in a desperate situation, I couldn't judge his choice. If there is anything to hate, you are more hateful than me. I am giving him rights, and you are taking them away."

"You are a devil. I am not as good as you in bewitching people, but I can stick to my original intention. Lu Mingze, when those people died, will you feel heartbroken?"

"Maybe will."

"We can discuss something. I hate allies who use tricks behind my back." Han Qiu stood up. "This is just the first time. It won't happen again."

"Oh? From your tone, your anger has subsided and you plan to forgive me? Interesting."

"Just think of it as me giving Lu Mingfei a chance."

“Haha.” Lu Mingze smashed the wine glass to the ground. “You will be the enemy of the whole world, and no one will understand you.”

"Not necessarily." Han Qiu finally swung his punch and smashed the mirror.

The office at the back was empty; maybe they had left, or maybe they had never come back.

Han Qiu put his clothes back on and left in silence.

----

"Well, this guy is really angry." Su Enxi looked at Han Qiu in the surveillance video.

"Don't touch that girl for now." A familiar voice sounded in the darkness, and a figure stood there, with admiration and helplessness in the tone.

"Boss?" Jiude Mai noticed that the boss was shaking and looked a little weak. She came to the boss and supported him. "What's wrong with you?"

"It's easy to get tired when meeting him. After all, he's not a powerful person who can sign a contract." The boss struggled to break free from Jiude Mai's hand, "My girls, go help him, this last time."

"Boss, did you have a breakdown in the conversation with him?" Su Enxi asked.

"People with different ideals cannot work together." Lu Mingze only said this.

"Then why should we help him this last time?" Jiude Mai didn't understand.

Since you are planning to break up with me, why should I help you one last time?

"He has me in his scheme as well." The boss was a little annoyed. "Great."

He clapped, applauding for the first time for someone other than Lu Mingfei.

"We have no choice, at least in this drama in Japan." The boss said with some concern: "He has already met with Herzog and talked with him. Now he is the master of the Demon Clan and the Eight Snake Clans. If he doesn't cooperate, nothing can be performed. If we cooperate with him, there is still a chance to achieve our goal."
