When Dongfang Bubai looked at him and his expression changed slightly, the white cat Zero, which was still furious even with Lei Mingkai's comfort, suddenly jumped up and landed in front of Lei Mingkai, and was caught in a gust of wind.
, turned into the wilderness lion form.
"roar!"
The ferocious steel beast roared, seemingly warning the man in purple in front of him not to cross the line.
That ferocious gaze was like a sharp knife piercing Dongfang Bubai, and the strong wind stirred up by the roar even pulled the corners of Dongfang Bubai's clothes wildly.
"Quite impressive."
Facing the ferocious and ferocious posture of the wilderness lion, most people would probably be frightened to death, but for Dongfang Bubai, they just nodded slightly.
"Zero! Stop!"
All this happened in just an instant.
Lei Mingkai couldn't react at all. He was just about to rush forward and stop the Zero in the form of the wilderness lion to prevent it from colliding with Dongfang Bubai. Dongfang Bubai just stretched out a finger and pressed the wilderness lion to the ground.
.
"roar!"
The wilderness lion roared crazily, and even the armed sword on its body slashed straight towards Dongfang Bubai.
But the armed sword that broke through the wind was still repelled by Dongfang Bubai with just a snap of his fingers.
"Quiet! I don't mean to be hostile to you!"
Dongfang Bubai put away his left hand that had knocked back the armed sword, looked at Lei Mingkai, and then took out an object that looked like a gem from his pocket.
Unexpectedly, the moment this object appeared, the wilderness lion's struggle became more violent and crazy.
"That's a fragment?!"
The object in Dongfang Bubai's hand was exactly a fragment, and it was almost exactly the same fragment as the one he had just handed over to the Ministry of Justice.
"A fragment? It seems that Lei has been eyeing the fragment in my hand from the beginning."
"May I ask, Lord, where did you get this fragment in your hand?"
When Dongfang Bubai looked over, Lei Mingkai asked subconsciously.
"Is this a fragment? It takes some effort to talk about it. It's just..."
"Well... take your hands away, I can get up by myself."
Before Dongfang Bubai could finish speaking, the wilderness lion gradually shrank in size until it returned to its cute white cat form.
"Ouch!"
White Cat Zero shook his head vigorously, then raised his head and looked at the fragment in Dongfang Bubai's hand.
"What the hell was done to this damn fragment?"
"Hands and legs? Probably!"
Dongfang Bubai lowered his eyes, sighed slightly, and then raised his left hand, and the surrounding woods suddenly started to move.
Amid the rustling sounds of branches and leaves, a group of monkeys appeared from behind the tree.
Some of them carried chairs and tables together, while others carried bottles and cans of things. They walked in groups to Dongfang Bubai, making noisy noises, as if they wanted to take credit.
"Okay. After putting the things here, let's go find the girl! She is taking the guests to the lake."
Dongfang Bubai touched a little monkey that came close to him and had a bunch of white hair on its head, and smiled.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
It's strange to say that after Dongfang Bubai finished speaking, a small group of white-haired monkeys on top of his head began to chirp and direct the surrounding monkeys to place the things they brought one by one.
Then, the little monkey circled around the neatly arranged chairs and tables a few times. After confirming that everything was correct, he called on all the monkeys to turn around and run towards the lake.
What made Lei Mingkai a little concerned was that the little monkey made a face at the white cat Zero before leaving, just like a seven or eight-year-old child.
"This damn monkey, do you want a beating?"
The Zero, which had not yet completely gotten rid of the interference of that weird fragment, faced such a provocation and wanted to jump up immediately and give that little monkey a lesson.
"Please sit down! Lei Mingkai, and you, a very good lion."
Dongfang Bubai stood at the table and invited Lei Mingkai and White Cat Zero.
"That's the little monkey I rescued on a certain planet when I was little. I'm usually a bit naughty, I hope you don't mind."
White Cat Zero didn't pay too much attention to the monkey.
In its opinion, if it is really pissed off, the worst it can do is transform back into the Longtooth Zero and give the forest a serious cleansing.
"This is just a trivial matter. What I want to know more is where did the fragment in your hand come from? I have never been affected by a fragment in this way."
Regarding White Cat Zero, Lei Mingkai also agreed.
During this period of time, although the fragments recovered by him and White Cat Zero did not reach double digits, they at least amounted to a certain amount.
But this is the first time that Type-0 has been affected by debris.
Dongfang Bubai put the fragment in his hand on the table, not minding that Lei Mingkai and White Cat Zero reached out to take it away.
"Did you experience any special strange phenomena before?"
Dongfang Bubai did not answer White Cat Zero's words, but asked Lei Mingkai a question.
This question immediately stopped Lei Mingkai. At the same time, the white cat Zero next to him also raised his little head and looked at Lei Mingkai.
Yes.
Speaking of special and strange phenomena, Lei Mingkai has indeed discovered it.
That was when he went on a rampage in King Visser's capital. No, it should be said that if the one at the Knight Academy is included together, that would be two times.
"You decide for yourself."
As if sensing Lei Mingkai's hesitation, White Cat Zero just muttered and then stared down at the fragments placed on the table by Dongfang Bubai.
It's very unhappy now.
The fragments that had only been recycled in the past were actually able to affect the Zero's own power.
Such changes caught White Cat Zero a little off guard, but there was nothing they could do about it.
After all, after the world of his hometown split into many fragments, White Cat Zero should be ready to wake up.
Lei Mingkai was silent for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth.
As mentioned before, if Dongfang Bubai wants to harm Lei Mingkai, he must not waste so much time talking and just hit him with a fist.
Regarding the strength gap between the two sides, Lei Mingkai is very self-aware.
"As expected."
After listening to Lei Mingkai's account of King Visser's capital and his early rampage with the Knight Academy, Dongfang Bubai let out a long sigh of relief.
"Lei Mingkai, Type Zero. I believe you are very curious about this fragment, right? This was taken from an old friend of mine. An old friend who fell into the abyss."
"Old friend? Fall into the abyss?"
Question marks appeared above the heads of Lei Mingkai and White Cat Zero at the same time, but they did not speak rashly to interrupt Dongfang Bubai's words.
"Her name is Lamia. She is a friend I met in a certain world."
Although Dongfang Bubai only mentioned a name, Lei Mingkai had already guessed who the so-called old friend was from the name.
Lamia Labrese.
A character active in many Super Robot Wars.
Although he is in the positive camp of the protagonist group, his true identity is one of the androids from the Shadow Mirror W series of the villain camp.
If Dongfang Bubai could meet Lamia and forge a friendship, it would be Super Robot Wars A. But what happened when Lamia fell into the abyss?
"Lord."
But before Lei Mingkai could finish speaking, Dongfang Bubai raised his hand to stop Lei Mingkai from speaking.
"Just call me by my name. The title Lord is already a bit far away for me."
"Then, forgive me for offending! Dongfang Bubai."
"Yeah. That's good. Ever since that time when I died from exhaustion, the so-called Asian sages and lords have become nothing more than an illusion."
Dongfang Bubai admires Lei Mingkai's dedication to good deeds.
But he didn't expect that his casual mention would attract Lei Mingkai's attention.
Dongfang Bubai's original fate was under the multiple influences of physical reasons and other factors, and he finally met his death calmly in the decisive battle with Domeng.
If the Dongfang Bubai in front of us comes from that world, then...
"DG cells?!"
After much deliberation, Lei Mingkai seemed to have arrived at such a result.
Apart from DG cells, I am afraid that nothing can save Dongfang Bubai's original withered life.
Of course, it can still be caused by relying on the medical technology of the City of Stars.
But deep down in his heart, Lei Mingkai couldn't believe this statement.
"Yes. As expected of the champion of the Plastic Gundam World Series. That's right. Now I have become one with the DG cells."
After Dongfang Bubai admitted Lei Mingkai's guess, he continued to focus on Lamia.
"Back to the subject. When I first met Lamia, this fragment was on her body. At that time, neither I nor Domon took this fragment seriously. Not only that, but even afterwards
After Lamia went berserk many times during the battle, we did not regard the debris as a suspicious factor that triggered the berserk."
Dongfang Bubai picked up the pieces on the table and sighed.
"Until, when we faced the culprit who triggered a series of events that brought the world to the brink of destruction, Lamia suddenly went berserk again under the influence of this fragment, completely pushing the entire world into the abyss.
And in the end, I, who had not yet fused with the DG cells, tried my best to snatch the fragment away from him."
"In other words, it is possible that I will fall into the abyss like Lamia at some point in the future and completely become a puppet of the abyss to destroy the world?"
The story of Lamia told by Dongfang Bubai made Lei Mingkai feel heartbroken.
Lei Mingkai did not have a general impression of the entire experience of the two rampages. He could only reconstruct what happened afterwards, based on the memory fragments and Zero Type's narrative that were so scattered that they were almost negligible.
If he really fell like that Lamia, then not only Remingkai himself, but even Euphemia and the others would be doomed.
"No, I can't be sure about this. After all, Lamia was just wearing..."
Having said this, Dongfang Bubai glanced at White Cat Zero.
"But you absorb and fuse the fragments. This may be the difference between you and Lamia."
