Chapter 2444 Riot
When he received Doer’s letter, Joan was walking his dog on the ranch in Hot Spring Town. After reading Doer’s description of the thugs destroying the laboratory, it was like going back in time and returning to Leiden College three months ago. The sight of destruction is vivid.
The hounds realized that they had lost the traction from behind, and obediently picked up the leash that had slipped on the grass, and turned to look for the owner, but what caught their eyes was a beam of teleportation light.
In the beam of light, Qiao An's figure changed from thick to light, and disappeared out of thin air in the blink of an eye.
Three seconds later, Joan appeared outside the door of Moriarty's laboratory.
Although he had been mentally prepared, when he witnessed the mess inside the laboratory, he still couldn't help but get angry.
There were quarrels in the room, and several thugs remained in the laboratory, trying to take away those items that had not been destroyed and looked more valuable. As a result, they scrambled, it was simply a group of robbers who were dividing the spoils.
Joan barely restrained the urge to kill the bandits, and made a series of spell-casting gestures to reverse the gravity field inside the laboratory.
The thugs in the room suddenly felt that their bodies were floating. Accompanied by terrified screams, they danced into the air and hit the ceiling one after another.
In the next moment, Qiao An revoked the "anti-gravity field", and the thugs fell straight down from the sky and hit the floor heavily, their noses and faces were bruised, they cried and howled, and all the stolen goods in their pockets spilled out.
"Get out!"
When Qiao An was furious, he instantly cast the 3-ring "fear technique", as if the roar of a dragon echoed in the ears of the mob.
The thugs were all so frightened that their faces were pale, they stumbled out of the door, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Joan walked into the laboratory alone, and first checked the room next door used to store important equipment and dangerous reagents. The force field wall isolated the thugs, but fortunately, that room was not damaged.
Since this summer, the focus of Professor Moriarty and Joan's work has shifted to the pasture on the outskirts of Hot Spring Town. The damage to the laboratory on campus seems to be serious, but the loss is actually not that great.
However, this could not calm the anger in Qiao An's chest. If Duo'er made any mistakes, all the gangsters involved in this atrocity would pay double the price!
Thinking of this, Joan opened the "Any Door" and teleported directly to the top of the building, looking for Duo'er's trace.
"Dr. Vader!" A familiar call came from behind.
Qiao An followed the sound and turned around, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.
Wearing a maid uniform skirt, a red-haired girl poked her head out from behind the water tower, her gorgeous face filled with joyful smiles.
"Duo'er, are you okay?" Qiao An hurried up to greet her, looking her up and down with concern.
Duo'er jumped down from the high water tower, like a light butterfly floating to the ground.
Qiao An subconsciously reached out to pick it up, and suddenly remembered that Duo'er was a high-level "shadow dancer", and her skills were more flexible than civet cats, so she didn't need to do anything extra.
Before he could shrink back, Duo'er took the initiative to hug his arm, and snuggled into his arms, hugging for a long time before leaving with a shy smile.
"Dr. Vader, thank you for coming to save me, I'm so happy!"
Qiao An couldn't help recalling the feeling of warmth just now, she was stunned for a moment before waking up, looked at Duo'er carefully, and felt relieved when she saw that she was unscathed and calm, and asked about the cause and effect of the commotion.
After listening to Duo'er's speech, Qiao An immediately noticed a suspicious point.
"Duo'er, when the thugs smashed the door outside, did you open the door on your own initiative?"
"Of course not," Duo'er shook her head aggrievedly, "Unless I hear your or the master's footsteps, I will never take the initiative to open the door. If a stranger knocks on the door, I will pretend that I didn't hear it, as if there is no one in the room."
"That is to say, it was the group of thugs who broke the door open by themselves?"
"That's true."
"This is strange. I remember that the doors and windows of the laboratory are blessed with magic seals. Unless there are high-level spellcasters among the thugs, it is impossible to destroy the seal set by the instructor himself by violence. Breaking the door forcibly will only trigger the barrier backlash, which is self-defeating." Bitter!" Qiao An recalled the situation just now, and then said: "Just now when I returned to the laboratory, I only saw a group of hooligans, and with those gangsters, it is impossible to remove the seals on the doors and windows."
Duo'er put away her smile, took a step closer to Joan, and asked him in a low voice, almost face to face: "Do you suspect that there is a ghost in the school?"
"'We all know that there are many competitors in the school for tutors. Once a person becomes famous, it will inevitably attract hatred, especially the recent gossip that he replaced Mr. Franklin as the dean. Several veteran professors, and the two Mr. Vice President, I am afraid that I will be very unhappy, if there is a chance to trip up the tutor..."
Joan didn't say any more. Even if he knew what was going on, he couldn't make a judgment without any real evidence.
Duo'er sighed, and said sadly: "I always thought that the university campus was the purest palace in the world, but I didn't expect there to be so many dirty tricks."
Joan nodded sympathetically. From Leiden College to Midgard University, the experience of this year reversed his impression of the university campus.
Calling a university an "ivory tower" is pure self-deception. In fact, where there are people, there are conflicts of interest and political struggles. University professors also have to eat and drink, and they also have sexual desires and desires, and even ambitions for fame and fortune. How can there be so few on campus? Infighting.
Suddenly, Qiao An suddenly thought of another question.
"Duo'er, when the laboratory was attacked, did you send a letter to your mentor for help?"
Duo'er shook her head lightly: "I only sent you a letter, it's up to you to make up your mind whether or not to notify the master."
"Why?" Joan asked in surprise, "It stands to reason that you should notify the instructor as soon as possible and ask him to come forward to quell the riot. After all, this is his laboratory and you are his woman."
"So it's none of your business, right?"
Qiao An noticed the resentment in Duo'er's eyes, and quickly avoided her sight.
"I didn't mean that, I just think you got the primary and secondary relationship wrong."
"Dr. Vader, in my eyes, there is no distinction between you and the master, not to mention that I would rather ask you for help." Duo'er smiled wryly, "If I notify the master first, guess what will happen? ?”
Before Joan could speak, she asked herself and answered: "Based on my understanding of Master, there are only two possibilities."
"Under the condition of emergency avoidance, I can have no choice but to fight back against the mob. The owner is also very clear about this. Since I have the ability to protect myself, he doesn't need to come forward in person. This is the first possible result."
"I don't think the mentor will be so cold." Joan shook his head disapprovingly.
"It's just that I'm not cruel to you." Duo'er complained in a low voice, and then continued, "Of course, the master may also come in person. In that case, it's better not to come, and the result will be even worse."
