Erii immediately pulled out a note and wrote: "Hello!"
"She is Erii Uesugi, who has difficulty speaking and usually communicates through writing."
Lu Mingfei introduced Erii to them, and then said to Erii, "These are my friends. This is Xia Mi, this is Chu Zihang, this is Sakurai Akira, and by the way, my name is Lu Mingfei."
Erii nodded, indicating that she had made a mental note, and then lowered her head to write again.
"What is Uesugi Erii's Word of Power?" Xia Mi asked Lu Mingfei first, having previously suspected that her Word of Power was a Dragon King-level world-destroying Word of Power.
Natsumi spoke in Chinese, which Erii didn't understand. She held up the note she had just written on: "Natsumi, I remember you!"
Xia Mi also recalled their meeting at Genji Heavy Industries and said, "Were you downstairs at Genji Heavy Industries that time? I remember you too."
Erii nodded happily.
“She has no knowledge of the power of words, and I haven’t had a chance to ask her in detail yet,” Lu Mingfei said. “I only know that when she speaks, something unexpected will happen.”
"Then it must be that she couldn't control the power of her own words?"
Xia Mi slammed her hand down and said, "Senior Chu Zihang's bloodline ratio is insufficient, causing his Word of Power to be unstable. As for Erii's situation? It must be that her bloodline is... too strong?"
As she spoke, she looked at Erii, who was dressed as a shrine maiden.
"Is the bloodline too strong, causing the power of the Word of Power to overflow?" Chu Zihang said softly.
“Very likely.” Lu Mingfei nodded.
Erii wrote another line for Lu Mingfei to see: "What should we do if Erii wants to go out and play?"
Simply looking out the window from her hotel room wasn't enough for her; she wanted to go out for a stroll.
Lu Mingfei told her, "If you want to go out and have fun, you need to change your outfit. At the very least, your hair can't be red anymore, and you need to cut some of it off, otherwise it will be too eye-catching."
Simply changing your face with makeup doesn't seem safe enough. A mask and sunglasses are more suitable; otherwise, you'll be too conspicuous, and your brother and the others might recognize you.
Erii nodded excitedly when she heard that he actually had a solution.
Lu Mingfei turned to the three of them and said, "Xia Mi, go and buy some things to give her a makeover."
"it is good."
Xia Mi and the others didn't say anything, just nodded and went out.
After Xia Mi and the others left, Lu Mingfei saw Erii writing something with her head down again, and went over to ask, "What are you writing?"
Erii immediately smiled and wrote: "Eri is thinking about where to go for fun!"
Chapter 102 Half-mad Girl
Erii was happily showing Lu Mingfei the places she wanted to visit, while the Snake Clan was digging deep into the ground because of her disappearance.
Since there was no sign of her leaving, it's very likely that Erii is still in the same place. The Word of Power: Bloodline Luo Jie appears, but then finds nothing.
The hybrid who cast this spell is an A-rank hybrid from the Snake Clan. The domain covers an area of 200 meters. Within this domain, the more powerful the hybrid's bloodline, the more conspicuous it will be.
Erii is different from ordinary mixed-bloods. Her bloodline is stronger than all the mixed-bloods present. Even though she had just undergone blood purification and serum injection yesterday, she is still powerful.
It's not impossible to dodge this spell, but Erii probably wouldn't resort to such methods...
"try to find!"
Tachibana Masamune was unusually furious; since becoming the patriarch, he had rarely displayed such emotional agitation in front of others.
He spends most of his time cultivating his composure, restraining his emotions, and making decisions with a more rational mind.
However, Erii's successful runaway was truly heartbreaking, and everyone who knew about it and Erii's special circumstances was shocked.
Losing or disappearing is a minor matter; even the sudden death of a family head on the street might not be as serious.
This is equivalent to losing a nuclear warhead, especially in a densely populated metropolis like Tokyo, home to tens of millions of people.
"what happened?"
The head of the family inquired about the incident involving Genjiro taking Erii out.
"She went into the restroom for about 20 minutes, and by the time we found out, she was gone." Yuan Zhisheng, who is usually expressionless when it comes to work, showed a rare bitter expression.
There is no dispute that the person escaped right under his nose.
"Any clues?"
"Not at the moment. We are checking the nearby surveillance footage one by one, but we still haven't found Erii."
No one spoke; the atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Inuyama He, the second-in-command of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, asked, "Can you confirm whether Erii left on her own or was taken away by someone?"
"It cannot be determined at this time."
The atmosphere fell silent again, and everyone remained quiet.
……
"What are your abilities?"
Lu Mingfei wrote a message to Erii, trying to extract her activation dragon script through the dragon script, even just knowing its name would be helpful...
Then, looking at the name "Word Spirit: Myriad Manifestations" that the system had obtained from Lu Mingze a month ago but still couldn't decipher, Lu Mingfei felt that he still needed to activate the Dragon Script.
"I don't know." Erii shook her head sincerely.
"When you use it, will you say anything or see any text?"
Erii remembered this; a thought flashed through her mind, and she recalled the feeling of that surge of power.
She wrote on the paper...
"Oh!"
The bed next to them cracked.
More accurately, it was severed.
The down comforter on the bed was cut in half, and the velvet inside burst out, fluttering around the room.
Lu Mingfei almost thought that the Snake Clan had caught up with them, and he nearly activated his Word of Power in response.
But when the system saw Erii's wide-eyed, innocent face, it realized what was going on.
[…Eri's expression was not surprised, and she looked completely innocent. This indicates that besides the power of her words imbuing them with spiritual energy, the mere thought of those words could cause that power to overflow…]
Lu Mingfei calmed his goosebumps and said, "Let me check how the bed is."
He walked to the bedside and saw the terrible state of the bed.
A single diagonal cut created an incredibly smooth surface, as if it had been meticulously sanded, almost like a mirror.
Erii continued to follow along with an innocent expression.
Lu Mingfei reached out and touched the cut; it was incredibly smooth, without any roughness or graininess.
It seems to be the ultimate in cutting and sharpness...
Both Lu Mingfei and the system were thinking and analyzing.
Lu Mingfei asked Erii, "Can your ability cover a wide area? Forget it, little ancestor, don't even think about the effect of your Word of Power."
It wouldn't be fun if the knife accidentally cut him. Without activating enough defensive spells, Lu Mingfei's body is much more fragile than this bed.
"...If it's just the effect of manipulating an invisible blade alone, it probably wouldn't be enough to sustain it..."
The system is analyzing Erii's physical condition.
Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and asked, "Eri, is your health very bad?"
There's no need to test Erii too much; this little girl is innocent and doesn't seem to have many tricks up her sleeve.
However, Erii's expression changed slightly when faced with this question.
"If it's inconvenient, then forget it." Lu Mingfei tactfully stopped asking questions and looked away.
However, Erii quickly handed him a note that read: "It must be terrible, but Erii can hold on for a few more days."
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then looked up into the girl's eyes, which showed a hint of nervousness.
"Do you understand bloodlines?" Lu Mingfei asked her.
Erii nodded and then shook her head.
I know a little, but not much?
Lu Mingfei said, "The ability you wield comes from your bloodline..."
While explaining dragon blood, hybrids, and words of power to Erii, Natsumi and the others returned with their purchases.
Upon entering, the three of them looked somewhat strange upon seeing the bed broken in two and down feathers scattered all over the floor.
Xia Mi asked curiously, "Boss, do you guys play such fancy games?"
"That was Erii's Word of Power accidentally spilling out," Lu Mingfei said. "What did you buy? Why did it take so long?"
"I mainly went to observe how hairdressing and makeup are done. Here's the invoice, boss, remember to reimburse us." Xia Mi casually stuffed the invoice into Lu Mingfei's hand.
"Oh." Lu Mingfei casually accepted the invoice, then asked, "How are you planning to change its appearance?"
"I can do it!" Xia Mi volunteered to help Erii tidy up. "Your long hair is too noticeable. It would be better if you cut some of it off."
Erika nodded.
Xia Mi started cutting and dyeing her hair...
Sakurai Akira said to Lu Mingfei on the balcony, "Sir, the Hebi-Hachi family is searching the entire city. We saw members of the Hebi-Hachi family at the supermarket asking to check the supermarket's surveillance footage. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has also dispatched personnel to help."
"It's normal that the Hebi-hachi family can mobilize the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."
The system is analyzing whether to give the Snake-Headed Eight Families something to do, so they won't keep staring at Erii... Moreover, if the Snake-Headed Eight Families are searching for Erii with all their might, won't the defenses of the Aoyama Love School be left undefended?
The system analyzed the situation and said, "You can start making arrangements at the Aoyama Love School now. The Snake Clan should be most anxious and doing their best to search during the 24 to 48 hours after Erii disappeared."
If Erii appears in Tokyo, they will likely mobilize all available resources to search Tokyo, leaving the rest of the city vulnerable...
Sakurai Akira's eyes lit up when he heard about the plan, and he was filled with enthusiasm.
Finally, are we going to liberate my fellow moths who have never seen the light?
Chu Zihang, who had been expressionless, became more focused upon hearing this.
