Chapter 440 Inner Demons and Bloodline

"It's you, Brother Lu."

Uncle Iwata smiled as always, as if the man who was so solemn a second ago was not him at all.

"Good evening, uncle."

Lu Mingfei said hello.

He glanced at the chart.

"Still working so late at night."

"It's not really a job, it's just a personal hobby, a little hobby."

Uncle Iwata smiled and stood up to bring a chair to Lu Mingfei.

The chair is just an old wooden barrel. After all, it is a long-distance ship. No matter how exquisite the furniture is, it is not necessary. After ten days and a half at sea, it will be almost worn out.

"Sit, sit, sit."

Uncle Iwata smiled.

"Speaking of which, Brother Lu came to see me so late. What's the matter?"

"Um."

Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment.

"I won't beat around the bush, let's just say it. I have a way to wake up the first mate."

Uncle Iwata stood up immediately.

His eyes widened.

"What!"

"Really?"

"Um, I mean, Brother Lu, are you really kidding me?"

"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just..."

Lu Mingfei waited quietly for Uncle Iwata to regain his composure. When he calmed down, he said he was really sorry and sat back in the chair at Lu Mingfei's signal.

"I can understand uncle's mood."

"Actually, I'm the one who should be saying sorry."

"I should have told you a few days ago that I can treat the first mate."

"It's just that I didn't tell you immediately because I wasn't sure and needed to observe it for a while longer."

"I see……"

Uncle Iwata let out a long sigh.

He could understand what Lu Mingfei meant. He was probably worried that if he made a promise rashly without sufficient assurance, they would have hope but then watch their hope fail, and end up having no joy.

If he was just happy, compared to the gloomy mood he had been constantly worried about for the past few days, I don't know which one was worse.

etc……

Uncle Iwata suddenly realized something.

Since I didn’t say anything a few days ago, it was because I lacked confidence at the time.

So if Lu Mingfei found him tonight, does it mean...

He stared at Lu Mingfei and grasped his pants with both hands.

Sure enough, under his expectation, Lu Mingfei continued.

"After these few days of observation, the first officer's confidence in treating him has improved a lot."

"It's just a pity."

Lu Mingfei said in a regretful tone.

Uncle Iwata pursed his lips.

He smiled reluctantly.

"It's okay, Brother Lu."

"I can accept any outcome."

"The first mate's situation..."

He sighed.

"Besides you, I really can't think of any other way."

With that said, as if he had gathered enough courage, Uncle Iwata finally asked the question.

"Brother Lu, how confident are you about your words?"

"Ninety percent."

Uncle Iwata blinked.

"Nine...ninety percent?"

Lu Mingfei nodded ashamedly.

"I'm not 100% sure, I'm really sorry."

“Originally, I should have observed it for a while longer to gain more confidence before taking action.

"It's just that my ability is limited. Ninety percent certainty is all I can do."

He looked at Uncle Iwata's shocked face and his long silence, which made him feel even more ashamed.

"I'm really sorry."

"No matter what, there is a 10% chance of failure."

"So I think it is necessary to get your permission before taking action."

"Uncle, you need to think carefully. There is a 10% chance of failure. In other words, the first mate may never wake up."

"Perhaps there are better means elsewhere."

"Do you really want to take my approach?"

Lu Mingfei raised many questions, but the core was only one, and that was whether to risk the possibility of failure and let Lu Mingfei treat the first mate.

But for Uncle Iwata, this issue does not need to be considered at all.

Although the reason why he was shocked was indeed because of the 10% failure rate, it was different from what Lu Mingfei guessed. It was not because the 10% was too high. On the contrary, Uncle Iwata was shocked that it was only 10%. This was also too low.

"etc!"

Uncle Iwata grabbed Lu Mingfei's shoulders.

"Brother Lu!"

"Boss Lu!"

"Lord Lu!"

His face flushed with excitement.

"Do you know what you are talking about!"

"That's a 90% success rate."

"Ninety percent!"

What's wrong with the first mate? "

"He has become Deadpool!"

"Mixeds know that Deadpool transformation is an irreversible process. I was already in despair. You said you had a way. At first, I just wanted to give it a try."

"I didn't expect you to be 90% sure!"

"My boss!"

"Do you know what you are talking about!"

"I'm 90% sure. I dare say that there is no other person in the world who can say this."

"You are simply a genius!"

After venting his emotions for a while, Uncle Iwata finally calmed down.

He stared deeply into Lu Mingfei's eyes with sincerity.

He was about to say something, but stopped. Uncle Iwata took three steps back, bent his knees, and was about to kneel down.

A hand steadied him.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

Lu Mingfei said.

"We on the Sonny owe you our lives."

"I'd like to ask you to take action on the first mate's matter this time."

"Although I don't know what kind of treatment you will use, Brother Lu."

"But that method must be very troublesome."

"I don't even know how to thank you."

Lu Mingfei smiled with relief.

"Uncle, look at what you are saying."

"If it weren't for you, I might still be floating on the sea."

"I'll do whatever I can to help."

"It's better not to say these words again."

Uncle Iwata moved his lips, and after a long time he nodded heavily.

"By the way, uncle, you haven't said what you're thinking about yet."

"Is a 10% failure rate acceptable?"

Lu Mingfei asked him.

Uncle Iwata sat back in his chair and smiled heartily.

"certainly!"

he said affirmatively.

"Brother Lu, just go ahead and do it."

"The failure rate is only 10%. If this happens to the first mate, it can only be said that his fate is bad, and it has nothing to do with you, little brother Lu!"

I don't know what he thought of, but Uncle Iwata showed an expectant smile.

"Speak of it, Brother Lu."

"That first mate guy...hehe."

"If he knew it was you who saved him, I don't know what kind of expression this guy would show."

"I can't wait to see it."

No matter what the first mate's expression will be when the time comes, the first and most important thing is that the first mate wakes up.

The treatment was scheduled for the next day. Lu Mingfei took a nap to recharge his batteries. Uncle Iwata guessed right. This matter was indeed very troublesome for Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei slept, but Uncle Iwata went out with a pair of panda eyes. He tossed and turned there all night, unable to fall asleep.

The adventures I have experienced with the first mate over the years have repeatedly appeared in front of me. Although I have joked before about what will happen if one day they are injured or even die, the remaining person must continue their unfinished dream and continue. The pursuit of a mysterious island career.

But what he said was fine at the time, once things really happened, Uncle Iwata found that it was not as easy as he said.

After he found out that the first mate might die like this, Uncle Iwata really wanted to lie down and do nothing, or get himself drunk with a lot of wine, so drunk that he didn't care about anything.

One night, Uncle Iwata was thinking over and over again, what would he say to the first mate when he woke up, and then show off his taste to this guy? Look at Brother Lu, the first mate said something dangerous and suspicious, You see, in the end, it was Brother Lu who saved the Sonny.

He expected to see a defeated look on the first mate's face.

I laughed as I thought about it.

It's just that this smile is somewhat unnatural.

No matter what, it is not a 100% successful treatment.

The 10% failure rate... is actually quite high, isn't it?

"First mate, first mate."

As the morning star lights up in the sky, the night is about to pass, and the morning light enters the cabin. Uncle Iwata stares at the ceiling and murmurs to himself.

"You kid, your luck isn't so bad."

Lu Ming insisted on treating the first mate.

The news spread quickly on Sonny.

In fact, there were not many people on this ship. If I mentioned it during dinner, everyone would soon know about it.

Kenta scratched his head and sat down for a while, then stood up.

It looked like Pepper’s head was getting big.

"what are you doing!"

Pepper slapped the table.

"If you want to sit down, sit down for me."

"If you have nothing to do, you can swim in the sea twice and fight with sharks."

"Stop being an eyesore to me!"

Kenta's neck shrank from being scolded, and he looked at Dashan for help. Really, this big guy had grown so big for nothing. This time he was pretending not to hear anything, folding his arms and looking at the clouds in the sky.

Although Pepper is only a trainee crew member, there is no custom of seniority ranking on the Sonny. After all, there are not even ten crew members here, so there is no point in ranking seniority.

In their village, Chili Pepper has a fierce temper, and since she is also a girl, Kenta and Dashan will always subconsciously give in to her, which is why the current scene happened.

After Little Pepper finished speaking, she stared at Kenta angrily, as if she wanted to hear what explanation this guy had.

"I……"

Kenta scratched his head and whispered.

"I just want to go to Boss Lu and ask if there is anything I can help with."

Little Pepper pursed her lips and said something after a while.

"Then why don't you go."

Kenta was even more embarrassed.

"What if I disturb Boss Lu?"

"It would be bad if it disturbed him."

Pepper stopped talking.

In fact, Kenta's mood is also shared by Chili Pepper and Dashan. They are the same.

I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help, but I was afraid that this would disturb Lu Mingfei. I felt mixed and conflicted.

In their conflicting moods, the treatment began.

The three of Little Pepper and Uncle Iwata sat in a row outside the room door.

"How long have you been in there?"

"Three minutes." "What only three minutes!"

"Calm down, uncle."

After a while.

"Now, how long have you been in there?"

"ten minutes."

"Speaking of which, uncle, you have asked me several times. If you have nothing to do, you can go for a swim in the sea and fight with sharks or something!"

Kenta scolded his captain impatiently.

Pepper gave him a disdainful look.

Uncle Iwata grabbed this guy and drilled and drilled on his head with his fist.

"Kenta!"

"Is this the way you talk to the captain?"

"Let me give you a long memory!"

"ah!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

As soon as the scream came out, before it was complete, Uncle Iwata's big hand pressed him back.

"Keep your voice down!"

"What should I do if I disturb Mr. Lu?"

Uncle Iwata's intentions were good, but he ignored one detail. His hands were too big. This time he not only covered Kenta's mouth, but also his nose. Kenta's face gradually turned red. His legs were kicking wildly, like a fish that had landed on the beach.

Little Pepper glanced here, shook her head, said something childish in her heart, and stopped caring.

Her attention was more focused on the surgery being performed in the cabin at the moment.

By the way, can surgery be performed in such an environment?

Pepper was curious about this.

Doesn’t it say on TV that surgery requires a sterile environment?

After thinking for a long time, she could only attribute it to Lu Mingfei's strange surgical method.

Maybe Lu Mingfei had some special means.

But, as for the first mate of treatment...

Pepper quietly clenched his fists.

In the morning, Uncle Iwata also introduced them to the first mate's condition, which turned into a deadpool. This situation should be incurable.

This is almost common knowledge among mixed breeds.

When a hybrid, or a ghost, begins to transform into a Deadpool.

Then his only fate is to become Deadpool.

There is no other possibility.

But Lu Mingfei... this guy...

Little Pepper thought secretly in her heart.

If the first mate can be rescued, then...it should be possible!

A glimmer of hope lit up in Little Pepper's heart.

At this moment, the cabin that was temporarily used as an operating room attracted everyone's attention.

Treatment is about to begin.

Lu Mingfei disinfected 365 silver needles.

What he and Uncle Iwata said was correct. These days they were observing the first mate's condition and looking for a treatment plan.

But at the same time, Lu Mingfei was also preparing treatment tools.

What he used was not a scalpel, tweezers, or the like as Uncle Iwata and others thought, but a silver needle.

Thanks to the high taste of the passengers on the luxury cruise ship, Lu Mingfei found many silver tableware in the ghost ship's kitchen and used them as materials to complete a complete set of silver needles.

Picking up a silver needle, Lu Mingfei held his breath, closed his eyes for a moment, and then opened his eyes.

This shot will determine the outcome.

Like lightning and thunder, a needle pricks down.

A silver needle was almost completely inserted into the Baihui acupuncture point on the first mate's head.

If you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that Lu Mingfei is not just pricking the needle. While piercing, he is also stimulating with a special technique, making the silver needle tremble and rotate until he releases his finger. The silver needle is still trembling with a special frequency.

It was at the moment when Lu Mingfei loosened his fingers.

The first mate, who had been unconscious for a week, suddenly opened his eyes. It was a pair of pupils with golden light.

Now Lu Mingfei knows that this is also the symbol of the mixed race in this world, golden eyes.

The first mate's golden eyes turned to look at Lu Mingfei. His pupils were erect, like a cold-blooded animal.

Lu Mingfei looked at him.

The first mate, who was lying quietly on the bed, suddenly took action.

Hit Lu Mingfei's throat.

If he hits hard this time, his Adam's apple will definitely be broken by him.

If someone else were here, even Kenta and Chili Pepper, who were both mixed-race, might be taken advantage of by the first mate.

But standing here is Lu Mingfei.

He raised his palm, took the first mate's fist, pushed hard, and pushed him back to the bed.

The first mate still wanted to make a move, but Lu Mingfei flicked the Baihui silver needle with his finger, and a violent electric current suddenly hit his body. After a while of convulsions, the first mate collapsed on the bed.

Those golden eyes were still staring at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei smiled at him.

"Can you hear me?"

"It looks like it won't work."

Lu Mingfei continued the work at hand.

He took out the second silver needle.

This time it was Tanzhong.

The silver needle pierced, the first mate raised his upper body, and his golden eyes fluctuated violently.

"I've read a lot of books these days."

"To be honest, reading is at the top of the list of things I hate in my life."

He shrugged.

"So, here, I advise you to make more mental preparations."

"Today's process may be longer. Take your time and give me some patience."

Lu Mingfei took out the third silver needle.

This needle, the spring springs up.

The first mate's whole body was like a piece of wood. Only Lu Mingfei's hand that used the needle would move as if on a conditioned reflex, but there was no reaction at other times.

Oh, and his golden eyes.

The first mate's golden eyes were always firmly locked on Lu Mingfei, his eyes were cold and vicious, completely different from his usual self.

In fact, strictly speaking, these are two people.

There seemed to be no taboo against speaking during the injection in Lu Mingfei.

While he was injecting the needle, he was talking to the first mate.

Oh, and you can't call him first mate either.

"In the terms of this world, you are the second personality."

"Or personality?"

After saying two titles in a row, Lu Mingfei still seemed dissatisfied. He thought about it and relaxed his frown.

"Yes."

he said with a smile.

"Longe."

"Yeah, dragon personality."

"How about this title?"

Lu Mingfei looked into the first mate's golden eyes.

He was also looking at this hybrid dragon personality.

""If you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence. "

"Actually, this is a good title, isn't it?"

"It's just that I think the one from our side is better."

"Come to think of it, over here we don't care about guys like you."

Lu Mingfei said, reaching out and caressing the many silver needles on the first mate's body.

I don’t know what technique he used, but with this stroke, all the silver needles seemed to come alive, trembling and spinning endlessly.

Lu Mingfei nodded with satisfaction.

He looked into the first mate's golden eyes and continued.

"Inner demon."

What Lu Mingfei said was naturally referring to Jiuzhou.

It is interesting to say that after these few days of observation, Lu Mingfei was surprised to find that every mixed race in this world has inner demons in his body.

Their dragon-like personalities, that is, the personalities that induce them to degenerate into Deadpool, are very similar to the inner demons of Kyushu warriors.

As for why Lu Mingfei is so sure?

The reason is actually very simple.

He has his own inner demons.

And it is also the most dangerous one in the history of Kyushu.

Yama.

Well, this statement is actually not accurate.

Lu Mingfei was not sure that Yama was the most powerful inner demon in history. After all, there was still a major fault in martial arts. Before that, in the golden age, there might have been someone more powerful than Yama.

At least since the great break in martial arts, Yama is recognized as the most powerful inner demon.

Moreover, in Kyushu, inner demons are not something that just anyone can have. The nature of the mind is so mysterious that being able to give birth to inner demons is considered a special qualification.

So, when Lu Mingfei discovered that among the hybrids in this world, everyone has inner demons, he was really surprised.

In particular, he also discovered a pattern: the more powerful the hybrids were, the more powerful their inner demons were.

In the words of this world, the higher the bloodline, the stronger the inner demon.

An example is Pepper. Among the people on Sonny, Pepper has the highest bloodline, and her inner demon is also the most powerful among them.

It's even powerful enough to affect Pepper's personality.

Her situation is different from that of the first mate. The first mate lost the balance between his human personality and his dragon personality after years of overdrafting and fell into the abyss of becoming a Deadpool.

Where's the little pepper?

She just woke up, and it was only a week.

There has been a tendency to gradually lose control of the dragon personality.

Lu Mingfei administered the needles methodically.

At the same time, pay attention to the first mate's reactions.

The first mate was the first, but not the last. After him, Lu Mingfei was going to treat Little Pepper and Uncle Iwata.

Speaking of which, he used to have splitting headaches and was wavering between his true self and the inner demon Yama. When he was about to confuse his understanding of himself, the little emperor would use this silver needle pricking technique to help him relieve his pain.

As for slaying Yama into a bronze mask and using it to carry Wuwangtian, and Lu Mingfei's original self to reconstruct the Dragon and Snake Secret Records, that was all done later.

It is said that a long-term illness makes a good doctor, and Lu Mingfei, who has a terrifying inner demon like Yama, can be regarded as an expert in dealing with various symptoms caused by inner demons.

Lu Mingfei also once thought about the method of killing gods. Everything in this world is interdependent with blessings and misfortunes. The inner demon can certainly lead people to corruption and is a scourge that Jiuzhou warriors avoid, but this also shows how powerful the inner demon is. .

If used properly, it can be a big help.

Just like Lu Mingfei and Yan Luo.

He later rebuilt the Dragon and Snake Secret Records, and although he also achieved Waigang, in terms of field, the field of the Dragon and Snake Secret Records could not be compared with Wu Wangtian.

So much so that when Lu Mingfei later faced the enemy, he used Yama's Wuwangtian.

So if the God-killing Technique could be promoted in this world, so that all mixed-race species could kill their inner demons, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Not only can it solve the risk of hybrids degenerating into Deadpools, but it can also greatly increase their combat power. The combat power exerted by the ego plus the inner demon is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Lu Mingfei himself is an excellent example in this regard.

How many hybrids are there in this world, thousands? Tens of thousands?

If so many people could cultivate Yama, what would it be like? Just thinking about it, Lu Mingfei raised his lips in anticipation.

But it's a pity that Lu Mingfei can only think about this situation.

The method of killing gods has great requirements on materials. Lu Mingfei's bronze mask was made by melting down the ten most powerful magic weapons in Kyushu. This shows how high the requirements are.

So, where does Lu Ming have to go to find the top ten magic weapons to kill the gods of the hybrids in this world?

Not to mention tens of thousands, even if it is one person, helping a hybrid to kill a god is still too much to do but not enough.

There is no material.

Lu Mingfei sighed after thinking this.

He could only resort to the next best thing and use this method of pricking acupuncture points with silver needles to seal away the inner demons.

And maybe it’s the darkness under the lamp.

Lu Mingfei, who ranked the inner demons of everyone on the Sonny according to their bloodline, overlooked one point.

Who has the strongest inner demon?

On this ship, it's not Pepper, it's not Uncle Iwata, it's not the first mate.

But himself.

Lu Mingfei.

No one's inner demon is stronger than his Yama.
