Lu Mingfei Returns from Monster Hunting

Chapter 238 Sober Solitude (4.2k)

Naturally, Bunin's attitude couldn't win the favor of His Royal Highness.

After complaining for a while, seeing that the flicker was less than zero, Bunin could only lower his figure and ask humbly.

"Then what price should I pay to gain the trust of the two?"

"With your IQ, Mr. Bunin, you should know that Vatutin knew why he was executed."

Zero ignored him and asked instead.

"About the secret of that place, you and I are not alone in this world. If you don't find out the person who ordered the execution, what's the point of looking for the seat of God?"

Bunin fell silent.

Zero stood up: "Mr. Bunin's influence is one of the best in Moscow. I believe that as long as you take the time to investigate, you will be able to find out the identity of that person. Let's talk about sharing coordinates after you solve this hidden danger." And now, the intelligence agents of the Federal Security Service have been locked in the air-raid shelter by you, and they are not a threat, so please take us around this city and enjoy the scenery of your hometown."

Her Majesty's tone of voice is always irresistible, as if talking to her is a kind of courtesy.

This is different from Christina. Although Christina is also known as "Princess", she talks like a child throwing a temper.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, could it be that figure and momentum are not compatible?

But he wondered why Zero was so concerned about Christina's safety.

He didn't tell Zero about Christina, and Zero didn't ask him what the relationship between the two was, and why he wanted to help this unreliable intelligence officer.

But Zero knew that Lu Mingfei didn't want Christina to have an accident, so he helped him do it quietly.

"Happy to serve you, Your Royal Highness." Bunin sighed, knowing that there would be no result if he continued to press, so he could only give up temporarily.

He pressed the button on the remote control, and the iron doors with bulletproof steel plates opened automatically.

Just when the matter was almost settled, Bunin suddenly sneezed heavily.

The short businessman narrowed his eyes involuntarily, and stopped leading the way.

Lu Mingfei thought something was wrong.

Bunin must have smelled Christina's perfume.

This dazzling girl never minds being the center of attention, including her unique scent.

But not long ago, she was eager to follow Lu Mingfei and the others into the air-raid shelter, so she didn't have time to wash off this layer of smell.

This is a taboo for spy personnel.

However, due to the relatively large space in the air-raid shelter, it is also full of various damp and rotten smells.

These smells helped Christina cover up the smell of perfume on her body, allowing her to hide without any worries.

But in this small office, the smell is too strong.

With a cold face, Bunin drew the Makarov pistol from his waist.

He scanned the office with eagle-like eyes, and finally strode to the only closet that could hide a living person, pointing his gun at the closet door.

Before Lu Mingfei had time to think of a way to help Christina out of the siege, she had already pushed open the cabinet door.

Christina was a head taller than Bunin, looking down at the little old man in front of her with the same cold eyes.

She didn't even pull out the dagger from the shaft of her boot, she was facing a loaded pistol.

But the situation was reversed, and Bunin took the lead to take half a step back, as if frightened by Christina.

But Bunin took half a step back, as if he was oppressed by Christina's eyes.

"Christina?"

There was disbelief and shock in his tone.

Lu Mingfei didn't understand why he was so shocked.

Is it because Christina, the girl who stole the limelight at the banquet, turned out to be a spy that made him feel a huge gap?

Not likely, Bunin is an arms dealer and an old vixen who has been on the dark side all year round.

Lu Mingfei believed that Bunin would not have such a shocked expression even if he told him that the missile hit their heads now.

His surprised look seemed a bit exaggerated.

"Russian Federal Security Service, Second Lieutenant Christina!"

Christina raised her head again and introduced herself.

She and Lu Mingfei had the same attitude when they reported their identities.

She seemed very proud of her membership of the FSB.

The two remained at a standoff for several seconds.

Bunin put away his pistol suddenly, turned and left the office, leaving Lu Mingfei and Ling who were confused.

The behavior of this little old man is full of doubts and unpredictable.

Miss Kristina, who has only a big heart and a big head, thought that her identity had frightened Bunin, walked out of the closet aloofly, sat down where Bunin was originally, poured herself a glass of vodka and drank it down.

……

The accommodation of the guests was arranged in an abandoned high-end apartment in the 023 city.

The city is no different from an ordinary small town.

Except that there is no hotel, other basic facilities are available.

However, the place where the guests live is said to be a high-end apartment, but it is actually just a four-story building with a concrete facade.

Because of the level of productivity, the workers who came here in the last century simply built some houses for people to live in, which were not as high-end as modern ones.

The apartment is in the style of an old building in China in the middle of the last century.

The back-shaped structure that blocks the wind has an open-air playground in the middle, and a dilapidated basketball hoop is erected inside.

The small building looks simple from the outside, but the inside has been carefully repaired.

Thick wool rugs, bronze sconces, velvet drapes.

The furniture is also basically high-end products that are carefully carved.

Inside the wall and outside the wall, there are basically two worlds.

This is enough to prove that Bunin's auctions are held regularly, and City 023 is the stronghold of their group of arms dealers.

There were more than enough rooms, and Lu Mingfei and the others were allocated to separate rooms.

Zero lives in the topmost suite as a matter of course.

The rest of them live in the next level below, on the same level as ordinary guests.

The only inconvenience here is that the sound insulation effect of the cement wall is not satisfactory.

Lu Mingfei could always hear footsteps and singing in the corridor while lying on the bed.

This group of arms dealers drank endlessly on the train, and they were even more unrestrained when they got here.

They brought out the character of the Russians to the fullest, rolling up their sleeves and singing old songs loudly when they were drunk.

Lu Mingfei was sitting on the sofa in front of the window, looking at the basketball hoop under the flickering lights of the playground, his eyelids clenched.

He seemed to see his childhood home in the lights.

That place is also an old building like this, with a rusty basketball hoop downstairs, but it doesn't have such exquisite interior furnishings.

Neighbors have heard that everyone has to bring their own washbasins and towels to take a bath in the public bathroom.

He was not bothered by the noise of these complicated footsteps.

Because it was the same way when I was a child.

People outside sat on the mat and looked at the moon, while he did his homework by lighting a small lamp in front of the window at home.

If you hear familiar footsteps, your parents are back.

At that time he was still very familiar with his parents.

I see them every day when I wake up, and they come back after work.

Dad will bring him some snacks when he comes back occasionally.

Sitting under this strange window now, listening to the footsteps outside, is like going back to my childhood.

Perhaps the next sound of footsteps accompanied by the opening of the door is that mom and dad pushed the door in, carrying a bag of candy or oranges in their hands.

Thinking about it, Lu Mingfei half-lyed on the sofa and fell asleep.

In the dream, he saw Lu Lincheng, but it was only on the top of a dark mountain with thunderstorms.

Lu Lincheng held a sword and wanted to stab him in the heart.

……

The bomb shelter incident ended inexplicably.

Bunin did not ask the guards to arrest Christina or drive her out of the 023 city.

Christina, like a normal person, attended the banquet and drank with her suitors as usual when night fell.

After drinking too much, the intelligence officer can still dance, her skirts are flying, her straight legs are showing spring, and there are applause and cheers all around.

The matter in the air-raid shelter seemed to have never happened to the two of them.

Bunin was still the arms dealer, and Christina was still the Tartar princess.

Only the remnant of the Black Snake was still wriggling in the underground air-raid shelter.

Lu Mingfei knew well that this was the last calm before the storm, and the dark tide was surging in this barren town in the extreme north.

Under the cover of the carnival of the arms dealers, the people from the Federal Security Service are on their way, and the people from the Russian branch will not let them go easily.

There will always be times when the three parties will spark positively.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei and the others have few people and small goals, so they are not considered a force.

All they had to do was sit there quietly and watch the three beasts fight to the death.

Of course, he didn't really care about even that.

He is in a daze every day now, even if Old Tang asks him to drink, he will refuse, and just sits on the sofa cosplaying a vegetable.

Dangdang knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Lu Mingfei moved his butt in a rare way.

His alertness peaked for a brief moment, but he soon relaxed again.

It wasn't Miss Christina who was drunk outside the door looking for him to reconnect with him, nor was it Mr. Bunning who came to kill people to silence him.

He opens the door.

Her Royal Highness stood outside the door in a lively manner. She was wearing a brown coat and a mink fur hat with her hands in her pockets. Her small face was still so cold, like a doll.

"Come out for a walk with me."

Lu Mingfei was in a daze, he forgot that this was the first time Zero asked him to go out for a walk.

This girl in Kassel had never invited him to press the road together before, at most it was just a supper or something.

But Zero recently invited him to go out for a walk more and more frequently.

He didn't refuse, just nodded silently.

City No. 023 is brightly lit at night.

In less than a few days, the power supply system has been restored to its original state.

The street lights all over the city are lit up, not as bright as Tokyo, but quiet and gentle like water.

The Snow Country in fairy tales is probably nothing more than this.

In the icy world, the road is covered with a thick layer of ice.

It is now the end of spring in southern China, but in the extreme north, the ice and snow here are difficult to melt all year round.

It may be that he is very dissatisfied with his height. Zero always wears high-heeled boots, which makes walking on ice a pain.

Lu Mingfei had no choice but to walk with Ling's arm.

Although it is said to be holding hands, the situation shown is like a couple pressing the road arm in arm intimately.

If Lu Mingfei looked older, he would look like a daughter walking under the lights at night holding his father's strong arm.

The two of them didn't speak a word along the way.

Occasionally on the road, I saw drunks who were drunk, shirtless, singing, walking by, and took off their hats to salute them.

After passing by them, those people laughed again. They didn't know what to discuss, and it was very intense.

Presumably someone guessed that there were 123456 legs between Her Royal Highness and the Secretary.

Lu Mingfei also knew what they were discussing, but he was too lazy to argue.

He used to guess whether Her Royal Highness had that much interest in him, but every time he thought about it, he was too lazy to think about it.

His thinking is getting more and more lazy, and he is always unwilling to rack his brains like before when thinking about problems.

Moreover, he also felt that he was not worthy of His Royal Highness, he was just a strange thing, but Her Royal Highness was a well-known orthodox family, and he would not be able to rob the family's wealth in ten lifetimes by robbing banks.

Of course, the most important thing is that now he always thinks of that child Erika when no one is around.

He didn't know if it was liking or love, um... maybe it was pity for the girl.

But in the end, he had already pretended to be one person in his heart, and he couldn't pretend to be another one. He was not Li Xunhuan and Wei Xiaobao.

It's best for Her Royal Highness to simply ask him out tonight to relax.

Or Her Royal Highness wants to discuss with him the next itinerary and give him some tasks.

In this way, Lu Mingfei would not feel that he owed nothing.

It's just that the plot is completely different from what Lu Mingfei thought, Ling didn't say anything, just walked forward quietly holding his arm.

Lu Mingfei was a little confused by the fragrance on the girl's body.

"Thank you for the Kristina incident."

The scene was silent for too long, and finally Lu Mingfei opened the topic.

Zero explained casually: "When that girl broke into your box, I was next door and didn't sleep."

"I heard that you didn't come to help me out, but I was almost spit all over by that woman." Lu Mingfei complained.

"Isn't it a good thing for a beautiful girl to come into your room? Why should I go in? Maybe people really like you. Anyway, if a girl comes into your room, you won't lose anything."

Lu Mingfei was at a loss for words, subconsciously scratching his head.

But soon he found that his dominant hand was still being held by Zero, so he had to change his hand to wipe his nose.

"Am I such a casual person in your heart? Men are also innocent, right?"

"When you were in Tokyo, you didn't emphasize your innocence so much when you abducted Miss Uesugi to live in a room and sleep in a bed."

"..."

"But we're really innocent."

"You don't need to explain to me, there's nothing wrong with it."

After walking for a long time, Ling said again: "Some people will fall in love once they get to know each other. Sexually, this is the result of a high level of hormonal matching. It's also called love at first sight. Anyway, you don't just like that little girl alone."

Lu Mingfei knew she was talking about Chen Wenwen.

I regret it, I used to eat supper together.

When eating supper, he would find something to talk about, so he took out his high school shit and joked with Ling Dang.

For example, he liked Chen Wenwen in high school.

Well now, Chu Zihang knows that he liked Chen Wenwen, Ling also knows that he liked Chen Wenwen, Nuonuo also knows that he liked Chen Wenwen.

If the whole of Kassel continues to develop, it may not be necessary to know about the high school affairs of the S-level student Lu Mingfei.

"One's life is so long, there are always a few people you like, and if you miss this one, there will be another one, but there are not so many."

Zero turned his head and looked into his eyes.

"Don't hesitate, the sober loneliness in the snow is better than the lively loneliness and confusion in the crowd."
