Chapter 22 Murder in a Dream
The shouts gradually subsided as Caesar and Chu Zihang woke up one after the other.
Lu Mingfei could tell that these two people had extremely high prestige. Although they had a strong Causeway Bay vibe overall, he didn't care about that. Prestige was prestige.
The two good buddies stood with their arms crossed. Chu Zihang had a large, bloody hole in his chest, while Caesar had a bulge on the top of his head, making him appear to outshine Chu Zihang.
When Manstein saw that the two of them had woken up one after another, he gave up on Lu Mingfei and walked over to the two people in the other direction.
"That's great, Mingfei! You actually managed to fight Professor Manstein. It's alright, he's a good friend of mine. I'll ask him to help you with your studies later."
"I have a feeling we've already hit a snag... Oh, Professor, you're awake?"
Lu Mingfei gave his resurrected long-term drinking ticket a warm hug, which made Guderian feel a little flattered.
Masashi Fukuyama also came over, and Lu Mingfei spoke up somewhat awkwardly.
"Uh, I don't know where I threw that gun."
Masashi Fukuyama simply waved his hand, but unfortunately, he was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Who's winning?!"
Someone shouted, and Lu Mingfei, arms crossed, watched as everyone suddenly came to their senses and looked around in unison, like kittens being teased with a cat toy. It was a little funny.
Manstein was immediately enraged.
"Shut up! You've gone too far this year! You've violated the special school rules for 'Free Day'! I'm reporting this to the principal and have the event terminated!"
"Even though it's called a day of freedom, are there still special rules? It doesn't seem like the level of freedom is that high."
Lu Mingfei and Guderian started chirping quietly.
"That's normal, Mingfei. You should know that even in street fights, there are rules against kicking someone in the groin."
Guderian responded with a soft chirping of crickets.
Then Masashi Fukuyama, who had been eavesdropping, spoke up.
"S-rank, I sense there's something dangerous about your thinking."
Lu Mingfei was immediately stunned. How come there was still a conspiracy eavesdropping mechanism even after he returned? Could his conspiracy in public be eavesdropped on?
He forgot one thing: speaking in public... means that others can hear you!
Chu Zihang is reviewing three special school rules.
"The equipment in the 'ice cellar' must not be used, there must be no casualties, and visitors from outside the school are not allowed to visit."
Then Guderian immediately explained.
"The 'ice cellar' is short for the school's armory; there's no alcohol in it."
Lu Mingfei's eyes brightened briefly before dimming again.
Caesar crossed his arms and scratched his head as he spoke.
"That's right, they got injured because they fell down. People fall down all the time, right?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, as if they agreed with this statement.
So the bald professor was so angry that his hands trembled and his voice quivered. Just when Lu Mingfei thought the other party was about to shout something insolent, the other party took out his phone.
"Okay! I'm going to report this to the principal!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, and all eyes were focused on the old man's phone, which he held up as if it were an imperial edict.
"Hello, Manstein."
The voice was deep and gentle, in standard Mandarin, but Lu Mingfei inexplicably felt that the man was a flamboyant old man.
Nothing much happened, it was just reporting the principal and his group's outrageous actions. The principal said that these people were used to doing things outrageously, and you're not used to it yet?
It's worth mentioning that Lu Mingfei only just realized that the tranquilizer bullet seemed to be a special weapon as well.
The principal jokingly asked the wealthy, golden-haired Caesar if he would be willing to contribute to the repair costs. Caesar replied that he would do as he pleased. Then the principal generously declared that he would cover the repair costs and asked for his phone.
Anyway, he was a humorous and witty principal who said a few clichéd words about having fun and then studying hard, which made the students cheer loudly. He was obviously very prestigious.
However, it seems that Manstein's popularity has decreased. The students all made faces at him, and the bald professor's whole head turned a liverish color.
"And then I'd like to send my special greetings to someone!"
The principal spoke loudly, immediately silencing all the students.
"Is S-class freshman Lu Mingfei here? Has he selected his courses? Did he choose my 'Introduction to Dragon Genealogy'?"
The sound echoed in the open space. The students looked around and whispered among themselves, trying to see who the new S-level student was. Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "Why am I involved?"
He spoke loudly.
"Hey there! Professor Guderian's first recommendation on the course list he suggested for me was Introduction to Dragon Genealogy! Of course I chose it!"
Lu Mingfei didn't forget to bring Professor Guderian, who was on the same page as him. The old German man gave Lu Mingfei a warm hug like a lovestruck young girl, attracting everyone's attention.
"Great! I'm so glad to hear your voice! Mingfei! On your very first day at school, you wrecked my beloved car door and took down Caesar and Chu Zihang! You're ten times more heroic than your predecessor, the S-class!"
After the principal finished his speech, he hung up the phone. Everyone looked coldly at Lu Mingfei, who raised his hands to Manstein without hesitation.
"Wait a minute! Let me make this clear beforehand! I smashed the train door because I sleepwalk! Professor Guderian can testify to that!"
Lu Mingfei's emphasis was strange, while Guderian followed his student's lead and raised his hands without hesitation.
"I can vouch for him! He really does sleepwalk! And he even smashed a car and a study door!"
Lu Mingfei immediately widened his eyes and looked at Guderian, asking, "Whose side are you on? In the end, you can't escape the protection of officials, can you?" So he could only raise his arms and shout again.
"That was sleepwalking! I had no legal capacity at the time! You can't hold me accountable! If you want to blame someone, blame this chaotic world, blame fate!"
Upon hearing about Lu Mingfei's glorious achievements, Caesar and Chu Zihang exchanged glances. Caesar touched the large bump on his head, feeling as if he had escaped a disaster, while Chu Zihang secretly rejoiced that he had chosen a gun.
After all, it's a school train door, and its strength... well, if you let the two of them take turns, it would probably take them ages to break it in half.
In short, the day of freedom was temporarily over. Lu Mingfei asked for his room number and walked into the dormitory under the watchful eyes of everyone. It was room 303 in Zone 1, a double room.
With a bang, Lu Mingfei pushed the door open and said happily.
"Hello, my roommate... Fingel, senior?"
Fingel, who was slurping instant noodles inside the dormitory, looked at Lu Mingfei, who had a cheerful and sunny face, with an extremely terrified expression, and then immediately let out a pig-like scream.
"Aww!!! No! No!!! I don't want to share a dorm room with this dangerous sleepwalking guy who chops things up everywhere!!!!"
Lu Mingfei felt very offended.
"I'm not Cao Cao, who kills people in his dreams."
Fingel wasn't buying it at all; he just kept howling like a pig being slaughtered.
"You're even worse than Cao Cao! At least Cao Cao pretended to be asleep, but you were actually asleep when you started chopping things up!!!"
