Chapter 677: Changes in the Control Room(1/2)
In the library control room, Manstein pushed open the door forcefully. 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-grey eyes stared at the stars on the screen.
The converging light spots can solidify the atmosphere around them visibly to the naked eye. Some people call this the pressure of a superior person, while others call it "murderous aura".
"Who is on duty tonight?" Manstein hurriedly walked behind Schneider and asked in a low voice, but shook his head when he saw that Schneider did not respond to his question.
Also, the question of who is on duty now is meaningless at all. This sentence is mainly to break this solidified heaviness. Schneider has always been the sharpest sword facing outwards in Kassel Academy. Now the sword has been unsheathed, but
But it did not face the outside, because it was rare for the enemy to bump into the blade.
This is a complete provocation. Remember, this is the first time a foreign enemy has invaded since the school was founded in 1900. Not to mention that no one would be crazy to invade a military fortress full of mixed races. The college itself has also done a good job in keeping its address confidential.
It’s so airtight that only the CC1000 express train can get here through the wilderness where Annabell’s flowers bloom. How did these people find the Hilltop Academy?
But this was also a meaningless question. Guderian, wearing a nightcap, quickly ran in from the door. Seeing the dignified backs of Manstein and Schneider, he could not help but calm down and straighten his red nightcap.
He quickly ran behind the two of them and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Manstein looked back at his old friend and then said with a straight face, "It's my turn to ask you what's going on with you?"
Guderian straightened the collar of his pajamas to hide his hairy chest and felt a little embarrassed. "Time was so tight. I came right over when I saw the text message from Norma. Didn't the emergency assembly regulations say that all professors will be in the first level of alert?"
Are you going to rush to the control room as soon as possible? Where are the others?"
"Non-combatants have been ordered to stay in the faculty and staff dormitories. Didn't you read Norma's additional notice ten minutes ago?" Manstein frowned as he looked at Guderian in pajamas, "Now the entire college is
It has become a battlefield, and if you just run here and there in slippers, if you encounter an enemy, you will be a living target, with no chance to resist!"
"Aren't you here too?" Guderian whispered.
Manstein glanced at him coldly, took out a silver pistol with a unique and futuristic shape from the inside of his formal suit and slapped it on the table. Guderian took one look and said, "Turtle, Guangguang."
"Sigh of the Dragon'? How can you carry an experimental weapon made by those madmen in the equipment department without fear of it exploding?"
"It's better to blow up than to be killed with one shot." Manstein glanced at the firearms on the table and felt a little annoyed.
Although the Equipment Department is often unreliable, the "power" of the equipment has never disappointed anyone. He really wants to equip every student in the academy who is fighting the enemy with such a weapon that is said to be able to
The weapon that left traces on the scales of the third generation species, but the surprise attack was so unexpected that even ordinary standard weapons were not distributed to everyone, which undoubtedly brought a great disadvantage to this encounter.
"Who are our enemies?" Manstein asked Schneider, who had been staring at the twinkling stars on the big screen. The executive director was the first to arrive in the control room, which is Norma's information processing hub.
This means that all the information in Kassel College will now be gathered here for processing in detail. Schneider, who doesn't know how long it has been, should know more information.
"Are you sure that the people who invaded the college are all 'dragons'? Who determined the gender? Norma?" Guderian shrank his neck and whispered, "When I came here, I heard explosions and fires in many places, especially Anbo.
In the direction of the museum, it’s as lively as if a cloud bomb had exploded!”
"Did you also see the fire there?" Manstein asked in a deep voice, "There is expected to be a celebration banquet in the Anbo Hall tonight. The president of the student union will host it. It was very popular on the Night Watch Forum. Lin Nian, Su Xiaoqiang and the others
They should be at that place tonight, but I can't get through their cell phones. It may be due to the electromagnetic influence after the explosion or other reasons."
"What you saw was not the fire of the explosion, but the spirit spirit. According to the information from the survivors, someone released a spirit spirit in the Amber Pavilion half an hour ago." Schneider finally spoke, his voice was low and hoarse, which made Man
Both Stein and Guderian were a little uncomfortable. No one likes the voice of the executive director, especially when he announces bad news, it always feels like rough iron sandpaper slowly rubbing against your heart.
"It's not an explosion, it's a word spirit?" Manstein's pupils shrank, and his breathing became a little less smooth. "How can someone still release a word spirit under the influence of the 'commandments'?"
The library control room was still within the radiation range of the speaking spirit in the bell tower, and the three people present could still feel the power of the 'commandments' suppressing their 'spirits'. Manstein's mind was filled with emotions that surged.
None of the 'snakes' could escape, and the force suppressing him was as clear and heavy as a giant hand caressing the top of his head.
"So Norma speculated that it was a 'dragon invasion'. Theoretically, only pure-blood dragons or hybrids with extremely powerful bloodlines can break through the 'commandments'. The power grid in the back mountain will be paralyzed if it is attacked by the spirit of speech.
At the same moment that the invasion occurred, Norma detected multiple biomagnetic fields spreading outside the college, so it was reasonable to raise the level to 'Level 1 Alert' and issue a 'Dragon Invasion' warning." Schneider said coldly.
"A large group of dragons attacked Kassel College?" Guderian took a breath, "Is this an unprecedented 'war'?"
"It's not unprecedented. Dragons have attacked the secret party's fortress before in history," Schneider said.
"Summer's Mourning." Manstein whispered, staring at the back of Schneider's head, "Are you sure the dragons are starting a war against us?"
Schneider did not answer Manstein, which made Manstein pause and slowly frown. When he wanted to ask anything else, an application for signal access suddenly popped up on the screen in the central control room. Schneider
I made a gesture to connect almost at the same second when the application popped up.
"This is the central control room," Schneider said.
"This is Chu Zihang." The boy's calm and calm voice echoed in the huge control room.
"Report on mission progress."
"Mission accomplished, 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 I want him alive."
"Caesar Gattuso has obtained key intelligence." 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 misleading words of a student in the Amber Hall, I temporarily learned from the target's mouth that this was an organized and purposeful 'hunt' against Kassel College. The target revealed that they were from Chernobyl.
Prison, the main purpose of coming here is to kill the people on a 'list', and the names on the list are me and Caesar Gattuso." Chu Zihang said methodically.
"Isn't it a dragon invasion?" Guderian and Manstein behind Schneider stared wide-eyed.
"Where's the body?" Schneider stared at the screen with countless thoughts passing through his eyes.
"It's burnt, but after an on-site autopsy, it can be vaguely recognized that it is indeed not a dragon, and the internal structure is completely consistent with that of a human being."
"Deaths and Injuries in the Amber Pavilion."
"Three people died on the spot when they blocked the target from releasing the spirit spirit for the first time. The remaining students, under the protection of Caesar Gattuso and an unknown student, suffered serious injuries and excessive blood loss and needed to be rescued halfway.
Receive medical assistance within hours, otherwise you may die at any time.”
"The medical unit has already rushed to your side and is expected to arrive within three minutes." Schneider withdrew his hand and signaled Norma to send a signal to the troops who were already waiting outside the woods of the Amber Pavilion for the end of the battle.
Guderian and Manstein only reacted when they saw his operation. It turned out that Schneider had been standing silently in front of the screen waiting for this moment, waiting for his students to go deep into the battlefield and bring him back the key to influence the war.
Important information!
Manstein was a little cold, because this 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 was judged by Norma as a 'dragon invasion'.
And ordering him to 'capture' alive does not mean to 'kill' the enemy!
Schneider felt the heat behind his back and the piercing eyes like ice picks, but he did not look back. Instead, he continued to ask for information, "The battle process, a brief report in a hundred words."
"I rushed to the scene and found that the target had released his word spirit for the third time. The president of the student union handed over the battlefield to me to rescue the injured. I observed that his energy and physical strength were not enough to completely release his word spirit, so I chose to use 'Jun'
He suppressed Yan's attack, and finally chose to attack when he was in decline, cutting off his head at the cost of minor injuries." Chu Zihang said.
Ignoring the reactions of Manstein and Guderian behind them when they heard the word 'Jun Yan'.
Schneider thought for two seconds and then asked, "What is the target's spirit?"
"According to Caesar's intelligence, it is most likely 'Yang Lei'."
"The 'Yang Lei' of serial number 93?" Manstein couldn't help but lost his voice. As a professor, he has lived a long life and has seen a lot. Naturally, he understands that the so-called "serial number 93" is not as simple a number as it sounds.
Going up from the Word Spirit No. 89, all dangerous Word Spirits are strategic "weapons". In ancient times and even in the Middle Ages, they were terrifying existences capable of attacking cities.
"How can he release the word spirit when he is still a hybrid with the 'Commandment'?" Manstein finally asked the question he wanted to ask when he heard Chu Zihang's report.
"The 'commandments' have been weakened." Chu Zihang answered this question, "After the college's power grid was destroyed, I found that I could release my speech spirit."
"Your speech spirit is 'Jun Yan', which is also a dangerous speech spirit. That's why Schneider dares to send you to perform tasks on the first battlefield." Manstein said coldly, but Chu Zihang did not say anything on this topic.
With his remarks, one can imagine his silent face in the rain on the other side.
"Besides you and the target, is there anyone else on site who can release the spirit under the 'commandment'?" Schneider asked.
"As far as I know, Caesar successfully released the Yanling, as well as the unknown students who had previously fought with him against the target."
"Unknown?"
"He covered his head with silk 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 college."
After Schneider was silent for a few seconds, he no longer struggled with this issue. "I will send a team to the bell tower to check the situation of the night watchman. The weakening of 'Commandments' must be because he has also encountered problems. I hope the problem is not big, as long as
'Discipline' can regain its repressive power, and the damage of this invasion can be minimized."
"The current 'commandments' cannot suppress your students. Does this mean that other students with excellent bloodlines can follow suit and release the spirit of speech? Do you need to spread this news through Norma?" Manstein asked immediately
road.
"Those who can release the spirit of speech will feel confident in their hearts. They also understand that in such an emergency, the school rules are in vain, and they will make good use of the 'sword' in their hands." Schneider said lightly, "It just looks like this.
The information about the fall of the Ernobyl Prison is true. The hybrid possesses the 'Yang Lei', which is very consistent with the monster that comes out of that filthy place."
"But the executive department has not received any news about asking for help over there." Manstein stared at the big screen.
"Is it a network delay? I heard that the signal over there is poor due to problems left over from previous nuclear leaks." Guderian said probingly.
"Don't pretend to understand. The place where the Chernobyl prison was built is completely covered by wireless networks, and there are parallel satellite monitoring anytime and anywhere. How could it be possible that the information cannot be transmitted because of poor signal!" Manstein glared.
The old guy next to him said angrily.
"Is it possible that the Chernobyl prison has been completely destroyed and the management has been controlled so that the intelligence cannot be handed out." On the other side of the screen, Chu Zihang also heard the conversation between Manstein and Guderian and raised a question.
idea.
As soon as this conjecture came out, the ripples of the last argument in the control room hit the wall and disappeared, leaving only an unsettling pool of stagnant water.
"It's unlikely, right?" Manstein said through gritted teeth. It could be seen from his facial expression that he was trying his best to suppress his inner uneasiness.
