Naruto : Sequence 0 Visionary

The group, who had narrowly escaped disaster, only relaxed when 'Uesugi Erii' disappeared.

That was close; they almost met 'God' today.

Even Caesar, who had been through many dangerous situations, was sweating cold on his back, still feeling uneasy. He said to the others, "We need to leave now, we can't stay here. I don't know why 'she' stopped, but if she comes back, we won't be so lucky next time!"

This suggestion was immediately agreed upon by Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang.

No matter what happened with 'Uesugi Erii'—whether she had become a puppet of the Secret Order—just surviving was already a huge blessing.

"Get on!"

Lu Mingfei threw Caesar over his shoulder and ran.

The rest, including Jiude Mai, had to be taken care of by Chu Zihang. He shook his head helplessly, carefully picking her up and then pulling 'Seven Deadly Sins' along.

Caesar, on his shoulder, was dizzy from the bumps and almost vomited his dinner. But for the sake of maintaining his last bit of noble dignity, he held it in.

Even though they had just fought a fierce battle, Lu Mingfei still had incredible stamina, which surprised everyone.

Even Chu Zihang, following behind, felt like he was about to fall behind, unable to stop himself from saying, "Isn't it enough? We've run far enough!"

"This is good."

Lu Mingfei found a secluded place and kicked open the door.

Luckily, there was no one inside. Otherwise, breaking into a house would be no different from being bandits.

Caesar sighed in relief but was then thrown to the ground by Lu Mingfei, causing him to wince in pain. "Can you be a little gentler?"

"Sorry, I'll be more careful next time," Lu Mingfei said, sitting on the side, panting heavily.

"What do we do now?" Chu Zihang gently laid Jiude Mai on the bed. He sat down cross-legged, like Lu Mingfei, and started analyzing the situation: "Frost, I don't know if we can trust him anymore. Xia Mi and Nono were also captured."

"No way. The Gattuso family has ties to the Secret Order!" Caesar said weakly. "What happened to Nono and Xia Mi?"

Chu Zihang paused for a moment, then recounted everything that had happened.

Caesar's expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth, "I can roughly guess their intentions."

Saying that, he took out the black leather book wrapped in silk, his tone serious, "This is why I had to betray Gattuso. The Secret Order plans to perform the ritual in this book and summon... a terrifying existence. Xia Mi and Nono are probably the chosen sacrifices."

Sacrifices?!

Lu Mingfei furrowed his brows. As he suspected, it was just as he thought.

Mr. "Adam" had temporarily fallen into a disadvantage in his confrontation with the Secret Order, and they had also lost a Dragon King. Otherwise, the Secret Order wouldn't have been able to act so smoothly.

"What do you think?"

Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei.

For some reason, he felt that this "junior" seemed to know a lot about things.

Perhaps he might have a solution for dealing with the mysterious Secret Order and the ritual to summon the "King in Yellow."

"I... I don't know."

Lu Mingfei lowered his head in confusion.

He couldn't tell them that not only Xia Mi and Nono were missing, but also his little demon!

Caesar then turned to Chu Zihang and said, "Let's try contacting the academy. Tell the principal about what's happening here."

Right now, they were like stray dogs. Even though Rome was big, there was no place for them to hide.

"Alright, I'll try." Chu Zihang pulled out his phone and dialed the emergency contact for Norma.

But it seemed the enemy had anticipated this, and they immediately cut off the signal.

"It's no use, I can't get through."

After several failed attempts, Chu Zihang had no choice but to give up, shaking his head.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Frost's doing."

Caesar gave a bitter smile. Who else, besides his 'uncle,' could be so powerful as to cut off an entire city's signal?

"I'll try other methods to contact the academy."

Chu Zihang thought for a moment and said, "Cutting off the signal of an entire city won't last long, and it will definitely attract Norma's attention."

"Alright."

Caesar nodded, agreeing with his point.

"Let's take a break for now."

Lu Mingfei finished bandaging Jiude Mai's wound and said to the two of them, "There's less than five hours until dawn. Tonight, Chu Zihang and I will take turns on watch. You two get some good rest. We'll need you for tomorrow's battle, you're an essential force."

"Thanks for your hard work." Caesar nodded, not wanting to argue, as he really did need rest.

"I'll take the first shift."

Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang and said, "You can replace me in two hours."

"Mm."

Chu Zihang, always simple in his actions, found a corner and curled up.

Soon, the room fell silent, with only the soft sounds of breathing. Lu Mingfei quietly stepped outside and sat on the edge of the rooftop, gazing at the city below.

Lost in his thoughts, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt like he was seeing an illusion.

In the depths of a dark church, a pale boy was nailed to a cross, blood flowing down his body and gathering in intricate and mysterious patterns on the altar below.

Lu Mingfei stood in front of the boy, his face filled with deep fear.

He recognized the boy nailed to the cross. His name was Lu Mingze, his little devil!

It seemed like Lu Mingze was dead, but slowly, his eyes opened. His pupils gleamed with a brilliant golden hue, exuding an overwhelming, terrifying presence.

However, when he saw Lu Mingfei, the golden eyes that held so much authority softened, taking on a dependent look like a little kitten.

"Brother, you finally came."

On Lu Mingze's pale face, a weak, forced smile appeared.

"Lu Mingze, how did you end up like this?!"

Lu Mingfei's pupils shrank, his teeth biting down on his lip. A heart-wrenching pain surged through him, as if it was going to destroy him.

"Everyone has a day like this, don't they?"

Lu Mingze gazed at the anger in Lu Mingfei's eyes and smiled as if relieved, a slight comfort in his expression. "Brother, I'm going to die. The rest is up to you now."

"No, no!" Lu Mingfei was terrified. Upon hearing those words, he suddenly felt a fear like never before.

It was as if his heart had been ripped out, and his chest was empty, filled only with endless sadness and rage.

"You're a demon. You won't die, right?!"

Lu Mingfei stared intensely at the boy, his face full of pleading. "You're so strong, you won't leave me, will you?"

"Yes, I'm a demon. I won't die."

The boy's eyes, as hot as the sun, reflected Lu Mingfei's image. He spoke softly, "I'll be with you until the world ends, but let the demon rest this time."

"No, I won't allow it!"

Lu Mingfei shouted suddenly, golden light bursting from his pupils. An unparalleled sense of authority filled the church.

"I won't let you die! Lu Mingze!" His voice was like an emperor's command. The air and even the space trembled as if fearing the crazy young man.

"Brother, be careful of the Secret Order. Be careful of the King in Yellow, Hastur."

Lu Mingze's blazing golden eyes slowly dimmed, but he smiled with satisfaction: 

"Brother, no one can stop your steps, as long as you're willing... to take back the supreme power!"

"I don't want it, I don't want power, I only want you!"

Lu Mingfei's voice cracked, filled with a pleading tone as he desperately begged: 

"Please, don't leave me, okay?"

However, the boy's golden eyes still went out, replaced by another pair of golden eyes lighting up.

At that moment, Lu Mingfei had reclaimed 'power'! 

He could clearly feel the dragon blood coursing through his veins, roaring with fury and releasing the mighty power capable of destroying the world!

Deep within his golden eyes, burned the pitch-black flames of vengeance! 

"No, no!!!"

Lu Mingfei's face twisted in rage, like an awakened lion, his eyes shining with blinding gold.

A violent, fierce aura surged like a tsunami, instantly filling the room. Waves of air crashed through, causing the already decaying wooden planks to shatter into pieces.

"Lu Mingze!!!"

His voice was heart-wrenching, as if crying blood.

Tears streamed down Lu Mingfei's face as he desperately reached out, as though trying to hold onto something. But his fingers grasped only emptiness, responding with nothing but void.
