If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 681 Changes in the Control Room

In the library control room, Manstein pushed open the door vigorously. The oak door hit the wall with a muffled sound. Schneider, who stood in front of the big screen and looked up, did not look back. His iron-gray eyes stared at the stars on the screen and spread out. The converging light spots can freeze the atmosphere around you visible to the naked eye. Some people call it the coercion of those in power, while others call it the so-called "murderous aura".

"Who's on duty tonight?" Manstein asked in a low voice as he hurried behind Schneider, but shook his head again when he saw that Schneider didn't respond to his question.

Also, the question of who is on duty now is meaningless at all. This sentence is mainly to break the solidified heaviness. Schneider has always been the sharpest sword facing outwards in Kassel Academy. Now the sword has been drawn but But not towards the outside, because it is rare for the enemy to bump into the blade by itself.

This is an outright provocation. I remember that this is the first time that foreign enemies have invaded since the school was founded in 1900. Not to mention that no one will go crazy to invade a military fort full of mixed races. The college itself does not keep the address secret To the point of being impenetrable, only the CC1000 Express can get here through that wilderness of Annabelle flowers, how did these find Hilltop Academy?
But this is also a meaningless question. Guderian, who was wearing a nightcap, ran in quickly from the door. Seeing the dignified backs of Manstein and Schneider, he couldn't help but gather himself up, and straightened his red nightcap He quickly ran behind the two of them and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Manstein glanced back at his old friend, then he was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "I should ask you this question and what's your situation?"

Guderian straightened the neckline of his pajamas and hid his furry chest in a little embarrassment, "The time is too tight. I came here directly when I saw the text message from Norma. The regulations for the emergency assembly are not written when the first-level alert is issued. All professors Do you want to rush to the control room immediately? Where are the others?"

"Non-combatants have been ordered to stay in the faculty dormitory. Didn't you read Norma's additional notice 10 minutes ago?" Manstein frowned as he looked at Guderian in pajamas. It has become a battlefield, you just run around wearing slippers, if you encounter an enemy, you are a living target, and there is no chance to resist!"

"Aren't you here too?" Guderian whispered.

Manstein glanced at him coldly, and took a unique and futuristic silver pistol from the inside of the formal suit, and patted it on the table. Guderian glanced at him and said, "Turtle, 'light Sigh of the Dragon'? Why don't you carry the experimental weapon made by those lunatics in the equipment department, so you won't be afraid of blowing it up?"

"It's better to be blown up than to be killed with a single shot." Manstein glanced at the guns on the table and was a little annoyed.

Although the equipment department is often unreliable, it has never disappointed people in terms of the "power" of the equipment. He really wants to equip every student in the academy with such a weapon that is said to be able to fight against the enemy. The murder weapon that left traces on the scales of the third generation, but the surprise attack was so unexpected that even ordinary standard weapons have not been distributed to everyone, which undoubtedly brought a great disadvantage to this encounter.

"Who is our enemy?" Manstein asked Schneider, who had been staring at the twinkling stars on the big screen. The head of the executive department was the first to go to the control room. This is Norma's information processing hub. It means that all the information in Kassel Academy will be collected and processed here in every detail. Schneider, who has been here for some time, should know more information.

"Are you sure that the people who invaded the academy are all 'dragons'? Who determined the sex? Norma?" Guderian shrank his neck and whispered, "When I came, I heard explosions and flames in many places, especially Amber. In the direction of the museum, it’s as lively as if a cloud bomb exploded!”

"Did you see the fire there too?" Manstein asked in a deep voice, "There is expected to be a celebration banquet tonight in the Anbo Pavilion, hosted by the president of the student union, and it is very hot on the night watchman forum. Lin Nian, Su Xiaoqiang and the others It should be there tonight, but I can’t get through to the mobile phones of the two of them, it may be due to the electromagnetic impact after the explosion, or it may be other reasons.”

"What you see is not the flames of the explosion, but the spirit of speech. According to the intelligence of the survivors, someone released a spirit of speech in the Ambo Pavilion half an hour ago." Schneider finally spoke, his voice was very deep and hoarse, which made Man Both Stein and Guderian were a little uncomfortable. No one likes the voice of the executive minister, especially when he announces bad news, there is always a kind of rough iron sandpaper slowly rubbing against your heart.

"It's not an explosion, it's the spirit of speech?" Manstein's pupils constricted, and his breathing was slightly difficult. "How could someone be able to release the spirit of speech under the influence of the 'discipline'?"

The library control room is still within the radiating range of the word spirit in the clock tower, and the three people present can still feel the power of the "discipline" suppressing their "spirit". None of the 'snakes' could escape, the force that oppressed him was as clear and heavy as a giant hand caressing the top of his head.

"That's why Norma speculated that it was the 'Dragon Invasion'. Theoretically, only pure-blooded dragons or hybrids with extremely powerful bloodlines can break through the 'rules'. At the same moment when the invasion occurred, Norma detected multiple biomagnetic fields spreading outside the academy, so it is reasonable to raise the level of alert and issue a warning of "Dragon Invasion"." Schneider said coldly.

"A large group of dragons attacked Kassel College?" Guderian gasped, "Is this an unprecedented 'war'?"

"It's not unprecedented, there have been incidents of dragons attacking the secret party's fortress in history." Schneider said.

"The Mourning of Summer." Manstein whispered, staring at the back of Schneider's head, "Are you sure it's the Dragon Clan who started the war against us?"

Schneider did not answer Manstein, which made Manstein frowned slowly. When he wanted to ask something, an application for signal access suddenly popped up on the screen in the central control room. Schneider Almost at the same second that the application popped up, I made a gesture to connect.

"This is the central control room," Schneider said.

"This is Chu Zihang." The boy's calm and flat voice echoed in the large control room.

"Report on the progress of the task."

"Mission complete, target is dead."

Schneider was silent for a few seconds, and the other side of the screen fell into silence. After that, he said, "I said that what I want is to live."

"Caesar Gattuso obtained key information." Chu Zihang said, "It is confirmed that the target is a hybrid and not a dragon. Norma misjudged our enemy."

"Their origin and purpose."

"According to the inductive clichés of a student in the Ambo Hall, I temporarily learned from the target's mouth before his death that this was an organized and purposeful 'hunting' targeting Kassel College. The target revealed that they came from Chernobyl Prison, the purpose of coming here is mainly to kill the people on a 'list', and the names on the list are known to be me and Caesar Gattuso." Chu Zihang said methodically.

"Isn't the dragon invasion?" Guderian and Manstein behind Schneider widened their eyes.

"Where's the corpse?" Schneider stared at the screen with countless thoughts flashing through his eyes.

"It was scorched, but after the on-site autopsy, it can be vaguely identified that it is indeed not a dragon, and its internal structure is completely in line with that of a human being."

"Casualties in the Ambo Pavilion."

"Three personnel died on the spot when they blocked the target from releasing the word spirit for the first time. The remaining students were under the protection of Caesar Gattuso and an unknown student. The most serious injuries were serious injuries and excessive blood loss. Receive medical assistance within hours, or die at any time."

"The medical team has rushed to your side and is expected to arrive within 3 minutes." Schneider withdrew his hand to signal Norma to send a signal to the troops who had been waiting outside the grove of the Ambo Pavilion for the end of the battle.

Guderian and Manstein reacted after seeing his operation. It turned out that Schneider had been standing silently in front of the screen all this time waiting for this moment, waiting for his students to go deep into the battlefield and bring him back the key points that could influence the war. Important information!

Manstein felt a little cold, because it meant that Schneider sent his only student, a second-year student, directly to the center of the battlefield when the identity of the enemy was unknown and Norma judged it to be a 'dragon invasion'. And ordering him to 'capture alive' is not to 'kill' the enemy!
Schneider felt the piercing eyes with the temperature like an ice pick behind him, but he didn't look back, but continued to ask for information, "The process of the battle, a simple report within a hundred words."

"I rushed to the scene, and the target had already released the spirit of speech for the third time. The chairman of the student union handed over the battlefield to me to rescue the wounded. I observed that his energy and physical strength were not enough to fully release his spirit of speech, so I chose to use 'Jun' Yan' hedging was suppressed, and finally he chose to attack when he appeared to be in decline, and chopped off his head at the cost of minor injuries." Chu Zihang said.

He ignored the reactions of Manstein and Guderian behind him when they heard the word 'Jun Yan'.

Schneider thought for two seconds and then asked, "What is the target's speech?"

"According to Caesar's information, it is most likely 'Sun Thunder'."

"Serial number 93's 'Yang Lei'?" Manstein couldn't help losing his voice. As a professor, he has lived a long time and seen him, so he naturally understands that the so-called "serial number 93" is not as simple a number as it sounds.

Going up from the word spirit on No. 89, all dangerous word spirits are strategic "weapons". The scene of the wave of waves crashing through the closed city gates, in the eyes of the people of that era, it was tantamount to the arrival of gods, as long as they followed them on the battlefield of killing, they would be invincible and invincible.

Even today, a word spirit of this level is capable of forming an army alone. As long as it appears in this world, its stunts will be immediately controlled and monitored by the mixed-race forces.

"But the 'discipline' is still there. As a mixed race, how could he release the speech spirit?" Manstein finally questioned the question he wanted to ask when he heard Chu Zihang's report.

"The 'discipline' has been weakened." Chu Zihang behind the screen answered the question, "After the college's power grid was destroyed, I found that I could freely release the spirit of speech, and I did it successfully."

"...Your speech spirit is 'Jun Yan', which is also a dangerous speech spirit, that's why Schneider dared to send you to the first battlefield to perform missions." Manstein seemed to have realized something, and suddenly said in a cold voice.

However, Chu Zihang didn't say anything on this topic, and one could imagine his silent face in the rain on the other side.

"Aside from you and the target, are there other people on the scene who can release the word spirit under the 'command'?" Schneider asked.

"As far as I know, Caesar successfully released the spirit of speech, as well as the unknown students who fought against the target with him before."

"Unknown?"

"He covered his head with stockings, as if he didn't want others to know his identity, but judging from what he did, at least he was on the side of the academy."

After a few seconds of silence, Schneider stopped worrying about this issue, "I will send a team to the clock tower to check the situation of the night watchman. The weakening of the 'discipline' must be a problem on his side. I hope the problem is not big, as long as 'Commandment' can regain its suppressive power, and the damage of this invasion can be minimized."

"The current 'discipline' can't suppress your students. Does this mean that other students with excellent bloodlines can follow suit and release the word spirit? Do you need to spread this news through Norma?" Manstein asked immediately To Schneider.

"Those who can release the spirit of speech will be sure in their hearts. They also understand that in such an emergency, the school rules are useless, and they will use the 'sword' in their hands well." Schneider said lightly, "Just look at it this way. The information about the fall of Ernobyl Prison is true, the hybrid species possessing 'Sun Thunder' is very suitable for the monster that came out of that place where the filth is hidden."

"But the executive department has not received any news about asking for help over there." Manstein stared at the big screen.

"Could it be network delay? I heard that the signal is not good because of the legacy of previous nuclear leaks." Guderian probed his brain.

"Don't pretend to understand. The place where the Chernobyl Prison was established is completely covered by the wireless network. There are parallel satellite monitoring anytime and anywhere. How could it be possible that the signal cannot be transmitted because of poor signal!" Manstein glared. The old guy beside him said angrily.

"Is it possible that Chernobyl Prison has completely fallen, and the management is controlled so that the information cannot be handed over." Chu Zihang also heard the conversation between Manstein and Guderian on the other side of the screen, and proposed a idea.

As soon as this guess was uttered, the ripples of the last quarrel in the control room also hit the shore and disappeared, leaving only a disturbing pool of stagnant water.

"It shouldn't be very likely, right?" Manstein gritted his teeth and said, from his facial expression, it can be seen that he was trying his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart.

Schneider turned his head to look at Manstein, and there was a rotten dead wood in those iron-grey pupils, because even the head of the executive department would be shocked by this conjecture, just imagine Chu Zihang's description When the scene happened, a strong aura surged in his body. It was a murderous aura like a stormy sea.

The location of Chernobyl Prison is very special. The school board injects funds into it throughout the year, and replaces the best facilities and equipment every period of time, in order to turn that place into the "eighteen levels of hell" in Chinese mythology. , so that the devils who were knocked into it could not be reborn forever, and completely 'died' in this world the moment the prison gate was closed, cutting off the relationship with the spring, summer, autumn and winter outside the nuclear ruins, leaving them Only to become the black cage in which the bones were imprisoned for a lifetime.

Only truly dangerous characters will be imprisoned in Chernobyl prison. Political prisoners, financial prisoners, etc. are just good babies in the [green zone] of the prison. From the [orange zone] to the [red zone], [ The black area] is the place where terror is really held.Hidden there are monsters of local mixed-race forces who are like hot potatoes, difficult to control, eager to kill, but unable to bear the price.

Especially in the [Red Zone], many prisoners were personally sent in by the executive department of Kassel College. If they came out today and rushed to the college, it is not difficult to imagine how much they would love this secret party's fortress. What kind of hatred and madness would he have? I'm afraid he can't wait to smash this city symbolizing 'justice' into dregs and then swallow it in his stomach?
Thinking of this, the coldness in Schneider's eyes became more intense, but this could not cover up the deeper darkness in Youyou's eyes, which seemed to be a mixture of all blacks.

[Black area], that is the place where Schneider is really in awe of, and the things that are hidden there really make everyone unwilling to accept their "existence", so in order to ensure the absolute control of Chernobyl Prison, in the entire There are secret keys buried under the prison, all inserted and activated, the ultimate means that can be detonated at any time. But now the ultimate means has not bloomed a dazzling flower again on that ruin, but it has simply fallen completely?
Who broke the prison?

If someone takes control of that prison, it means control of the last resort. Is there anything more disturbing than a deterrent weapon in the hands of terrorists?
The answer is of course yes, that is, there are things far more dangerous than deterrent weapons hidden in the prison-those dangerous hybrids with spiked collars.

Someone is using the hatred of those mixed races to hunt down the students of Kassel College in the first step, so what will he do with that "legion" that has no power, fear or fear?Carve out a kingdom in Chernobyl, or more?
Just imagining this possibility is enough to make the three professors in the control room sweat profusely.

"Professor, I suggest passing the information on the 'list' to all the students through Norma." Chu Zihang's calm voice sounded again, mixed with the background noise of rain, "If the enemy's goal is to 'hunt', who There is also no guarantee that their names will appear on the 'list' which means student dormitories are no longer safe."

"They may raid any part of the academy." Schneider said hoarsely, keeping up with Chu Zihang's train of thought, "Can you deduce more potential names based on the known names on the list?"

"It's difficult, but there is an idea, which was provided by the chairman of the student union." Chu Zihang said, "He thinks that the list is arranged according to the 'lineage' of the students."

"Bloodline?" Manstein suddenly raised his head, and Guderian raised his head together.

"It's unlikely. The information of the students of Kassel College has been stored in the core of the Information Department and Norma. If the hunting targets are really drawn up according to bloodlines, how did they get the information of the students to draw up this list? Noma Ma has never been invaded, and no one in this world can quietly break through her firewall in the network field!" Schneider frowned.

Manstein's whole body shook and he suddenly whispered as if remembering something, "Unless the invasion had already happened and succeeded."

Schneider paused when he heard his voice, and suddenly looked back at him.

"Pearl Tower incident." Manstein looked directly at Schneider and whispered, "We thought they didn't do anything but they actually got what they wanted. Norma's information database, which has everything about Kassel College information! Building divisions, hidden facilities, and even strategic deployment!"

After hearing Manstein's words, Guderian suddenly felt a chill. Doesn't this mean that the group of people who invaded the academy were in the state of "opening the whole map" from the very beginning, absolutely crushing them with a kind of information? The state of pressure launched this strategic invasion?
"If you were the enemy's commander... what would be the first thing you would do after getting the local strategic deployment?" Manstein asked Schneider.

"Decapitation. Kill the enemy executive," Schneider said.

The two of them looked at each other, and then looked up at the big screen at the same time. Under the gaze of Guderian who was in a daze in his pajamas, he said sharply, "Norma! Seal all the entrances and exits of the library and enter a state of first-level martial law!"

"Instructions have been received." Norma's voice sounded in the central control room, and at the same time, blood-red lights and alarms lit up on both sides of the control room and the front and rear exits, and the thick alloy iron doors began to descend and be sealed. Every entrance of the control room, the high-voltage static electricity and infrared ray blocking in the ventilation ducts are opened, the air purification system is operating normally, and all the defense systems in the library are officially online.

Both the literature and books about dragons are secrets that are not allowed to leak out, not to mention the central control room on the second floor and the elevator leading to the ice cellar deep in the ground floor. This facility has security measures that far exceed all buildings in the academy. Now it is fully online under the orders of Manstein and Schneider, and it will be impregnable from now on.

But if this is the case, Schneider and Manstein's eyes are not less heavy. The second floor of the library is the central control room. Controlling this place is tantamount to abolishing the headquarters, let alone the first floor There is a special elevator to the ice cellar!

The things hidden in the ice cellar are really things that can destroy the world. The equipment department and the principal like to stuff everything into it. I heard that the last time the equipment department stuffed an experimental The "miniature alchemy hydrogen bomb", not to mention how the lunatics in the equipment department managed to reduce the size of nuclear weapons, just hearing the word "alchemy" added in front of the hydrogen bomb is enough to make people feel chills.

When Schneider and Manstein blocked the library, they had a more terrifying guess about the attack. The students with excellent bloodlines on the hunting list seemed to be an "unprecedented" attack against the secret party, but who knew what happened here? Under the superficial actions, is there a real dirty purpose behind the scenes?
After all, the attack happened today, and today is not an ordinary working day. Few people know that an epoch-making "experiment" is secretly held in Kassel College today, and the scene of this "experiment" is in the library. In the underground of the museum, in the mysterious and dangerous ice cellar.

"Has the headmaster been notified?" Manstein asked.

"There is no way to notify him. That part of the ice cellar is a non-magnetic and metal-free space, and I don't have time and no manpower to go down and notify him in person." Schneider said.

"What about Lin Nian? Have you contacted him?" Manstein finally asked this question after being silent for a few seconds.

"I thought you wouldn't bring up your students this time," Schneider said.

This sentence aroused Manstein's stupefaction and anger, and he could not suppress his tone, "Do you think I am you? Sending your student to a battlefield that does not belong to him because of his excellent pedigree? Do you think Have there been unintended consequences?"

Before Manstein could speak, Schneider waved his hand to mute the communication on the screen. He said coldly, "Before I assigned him a task, I told him that you could refuse. I gave him the choice, and he also Take hold of your choice."

Manstein stared coldly at Schneider's profile. This was a conflict of ideas between mentors. He never liked the executive department, and naturally he would not agree with the thoughts of the leader of the executive department, a lunatic organization.

Guderian looked left and right and whispered, "That's right. Have you seen Lu Mingfei?"

All of a sudden, the warning lights in the central control room turned on, emitting a frightening red light, obliquely reflecting the shadows of the three professors in front of the screen on the ground, and Manstein suddenly looked up at the screen and asked, "Norma , what happened? Is the library under attack?"

"An impact was detected inside the first floor of the library, and the logical judgment has been invaded." Norma's voice was cold.

"Ground floor!? There was no one on the ground floor when I came!" Manstein said in shock.

Schneider suddenly growled as if remembering something, "Call out the list of students and faculty who will be in and out of the library tonight!"

The next moment, the data flow on the screen was flushed, and the names of the students with added time were sorted into a list and presented in front of the three of them. When they saw the last column marked in red by Norma, everyone's pupils shrank Yes, clenched your fists.

“2010年8月23日，23：30：03。心理部教员，林弦进入图书馆一层。”

As for the time of departure, there is no record, she never left the library!

"Lin Nian's sister?" Manstein was a little panicked and angry, "Why is she staying in the library at this time?"

"She always liked to be in the library, and often stayed out at night," Schneider whispered, "I actually forgot about it."

"Wait. Norma said that an impact was detected on the ground floor? What is she doing on the ground floor?" Manstein's face suddenly turned pale.

"It's impossible to accidentally fall." Guderian swallowed.

"Just a fall could not be judged by Norma as an intrusion. It is very likely that she met the intruder and made contact!" Schneider said in a deep voice.

"The library is monitored by Norma all the time, how could someone break in?" Manstein asked.

"During the power outage, the monitoring of the library also stagnated for a short period of time. An intruder took advantage of that time to sneak into the library. Although I don't know why there was no movement after he sneaked in, but now Norma's move to close the library is over. startled him!"

"Norma, call up the surveillance screen on the first floor!" Manstein raised his head and shouted.

The picture on the screen was disturbed, and then it was dark. After that, under Norma's debugging, the picture was blue and red. The three of them were familiar with this bright and abnormal color tone. This was the picture detected by infrared thermal imaging.

They stared intently at the picture, and there was indeed a clear thermal image of a human figure in the picture, but there was only one standing under the baroque dome of the library, beside her was an overturned bookshelf, presumably this is what Norma detected The "shock".

"When Norma closed the library, she was surprised and accidentally knocked down the bookshelf?" Guderian asked in a daze, and at the same time he was relieved, thinking that Norma had made a fuss, but he suddenly found that the two people in front of him were His whole body tensed up as if he was facing a big enemy, he raised his head and stared at the screen, he froze for a moment and then looked up to where the two were looking.

Then his expression froze, and the relaxed breath came back again, blocking his throat, and his whole body was cold.

In a dark corner on the bottom floor of the library, a human-shaped thermal imaging actually looks like an arthropod, with its limbs spread out and propped in a dead angle formed by the bookshelf and the high wall.He possessed creepy concentration and patience, his limbs twisted and hidden in a dark corner quietly observing the slender figure standing motionless in the dark center of the library.

This scene is almost like a spider quietly hunting a bird that has strayed into the net, and the rubbing and sucking of the mouthparts sends out a signal of thirst for blood.
