Chapter 43 Spirit Pet
Under the dark night sky, the brightly lit Moniach floated silently on the cold river.
After receiving a sudden weakening of the principal's vital signs, they then completely lost Xia Mi's vital signs.
Although death is an inescapable fate for everyone, no one wants that day to come sooner.
What's more, the one who died was a young girl in the prime of her youth.
A somber silence fell over everyone on the ship upon hearing the news.
At this point, no one on the entire Moniach could or wanted to stop Manstein's next move.
He coldly donned his full diving gear and went to the ship's side.
It was late at night, and the full moon, as round as a plate, had just reached its zenith in the sky. Under the moonlight, the river shimmered.
"Professor, you can't go down!" Seeing that no one was stopping him, and that Manstein, the commander of this operation, was about to dive into the water, Fingel wailed and grabbed his leg, crying, "What will we do if you leave?"
"Get out of my way! Didn't I say you'd be in charge after I left?" Manstein kicked his leg in disdain. "You big..."
He had somewhat forgotten how many years Fingel had already spent at the academy.
"As a senior, you should set a good example for these junior students!"
Manstein tried to shake off the clump of plaster on his foot, but he clearly underestimated Finger's resilience.
"We can't live without you, Professor!" Fingel wailed, his voice so loud that it startled everyone on the ship.
Seeing that he wouldn't be able to escape anytime soon if the other party continued to cause trouble, Manstein hardened his heart and was about to kick Fingel to the ground when the other party's expression changed, and he pointed to the outside of the ship's side: "There's someone!"
On the shimmering surface of the river, golden hair flashed by in the water.
A hand with distinct knuckles gripped the ladder on the ship's side, and then Caesar emerged from the water.
Seeing that someone had returned, Manstein disregarded everything else and pulled Caesar up with him.
"How is the situation inside? Where are the others?" he asked anxiously.
However, Caesar looked indignant, and upon closer inspection, there was a large hole in his diving suit.
"Shit!" he muttered under his breath.
Caesar was surfacing with Mai Shude, but unexpectedly, she attacked him unexpectedly during the journey. Although she only tore the outer shell of his wetsuit, he had to give up waiting and surface early due to oxygen leakage.
"I don't know what's going on inside either," Caesar shook his head, "but I saw Lu Mingfei, and he's alright."
Upon learning that the S-class was unharmed, Manstein felt somewhat relieved.
After all, if the other party and the principal were to both die in this mission, then he wouldn't need to consider continuing to teach at Kassel College.
The Camarilla will probably send him to some small island in the Pacific to spend the rest of his life.
Of course, this is just a veneer for public perception; in reality, it is a form of disguised imprisonment.
After learning from Caesar what had happened in the Bronze City before his departure, Manstein found himself in a dilemma.
Going down now seemed pointless, but staying put left him uneasy. Just as he was struggling with this dilemma, another disturbance appeared on the river's surface.
A pair of hands emerged from the water again and grasped the railing at the gunwale.
Lu Mingfei took off his diving helmet, jumped, and landed on the deck.
"That's great, Junior Brother, you're alright!" Fingel rushed over like a lackey.
"Mingfei, it's so good that you were able to come up." Manstein said the same thing. However, facing everyone's gaze, Lu Mingfei simply pointed calmly to the ropes binding him.
"The others are downstairs."
"What? Down there?" Manstein looked puzzled, but after a moment he understood what Lu Mingfei meant. "Quickly, a few people, pull up what's down under the rope."
"No need for a professor, I'm enough." Fingel, who was closest, showed off his biceps, then took a deep breath, shouted, grabbed the rope with both hands and pulled.
Then he almost collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.
The object underwater was significantly heavier than he had anticipated!
"What's so heavy!" Fingel scratched his head sheepishly and muttered to himself.
Manstein gave him a disappointed look, then waved his hand, and the others on the ship stepped forward to grab the rope.
With everyone's combined efforts, the objects tied to the underwater ropes surfaced one by one.
The first to surface was Chu Zihang, who was still unconscious for some reason. After seeing that his vital signs were also stable, Manstein breathed a sigh of relief.
What follows is Lu Mingfei's account of what he brought out from the very core of Bronze City:
A bronze jar with intricate patterns engraved on its surface, and a rectangular box.
These items will be handled by designated personnel after they are transported back to the academy.
Manstein's gaze quickly swept over the rectangular box and finally settled on the river.
The rope didn't end there; there was something else underwater!
The moment the object surfaced, Manstein's expression changed drastically: "Doctor! Doctor!"
Beneath the diving helmet that had surfaced, Principal Angers' face was faintly visible.
However, the elegant old gentleman was gone, replaced by an elderly man in his sixties whose cheeks were stained red with blood.
······
On the banks of the Three Gorges, the speedboat slowly came to a stop.
Dressed in a black bodysuit, Mai Shude glanced back at the unconscious Chen Wenwen, her mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Although it's unknown what methods Lu Mingfei used to restore the girl, who was suspected of being contaminated by dragon blood, to her original state, this at least proves that the intelligence was correct and that the girl was indeed very important in his life.
Otherwise, Mai Shude also knew several methods to remove dragon blood pollution, but those were all for hybrids and were extremely costly. There were no successful cases of them being used on ordinary people.
Therefore, although Chen Wenwen has now returned to normal, Jiu De Mai is still unclear about what damage this has done to her body.
Never mind, call for reinforcements!
After pondering for a while, Mai Shude decided to give up thinking about it.
After all, among the three of them, it was always the potato chip girl who was in charge of coming up with ideas.
She dialed the other party's number.
"Hello, it's me." Inside the cabin, Lu Mingfei put down the phone.
Even though the Moniak was already in complete chaos, he still called the mess hall to ask them to send him a few eggs.
As for why eggs are needed, the reason is quite simple.
Lu Mingfei looked at the motionless little white snake on the table and blinked.
He found it on the way back, next to the injured and unconscious principal.
How could any snake that could appear in this bronze city be an ordinary snake?
So... could this thing be a spirit pet?
