Ever since the end of Project Abyss, when the Dragon-blood Transfigured Lu Mingfei was captured by the Manki-shu, right up to the Ghouls' assault on Genji Heavy Industries Building, Lu Mingfei had appeared at Genji Heavy Industries Building, blinded one of Tachibana Masamune's eyes, and carried away Uesugi Erii. During the Manki-shu's hunt for Lu Mingfei and Uesugi Erii, Lu Mingfei had slain over a hundred Manki-shu elites led by Taro Yoshikita and obliterated a puppet shadow warrior whose combat strength rivaled that of a "Crown."
