Chapter 1078 Secret

Lin Nian leaned against the window on the top floor and looked at a few black umbrellas walking further and further away on the stone road at night. As he turned the corner and left, one of the people holding the umbrella turned back and glanced in his direction. , because the sky was really dark and there was continuous rain, I couldn't see anything clearly except the flickering light in the window, so I turned around and left.

"This is a 'psychological test'." Angers put down the Dragon Song Sword on the table, held the handle under the hidden buckle and lifted it up.

"I know." Lin Nian said.

"Everyone who is identified with the 'Seven Deadly Sins' is identified by the 'living spirit' that this individual will eventually be destroyed by a certain 'sin.'" Angers said, "The 'living spirit' in the sword is very good at finding ways to hold it. They live in the user's heart's psychological shortcomings. If the user's inner flaws correspond to the sins controlled by the 'living spirit', the 'living spirit' will naturally be happy to lend them power."

"Is the purpose to prescribe the right medicine to induce people to fall more efficiently?" Lin Nian looked at the seven deadly sins that Anget brought up, and stared at the dark dragon pattern in the shadow of the Dragon Sword Box.

"No." Angers shook his head slightly, "I prefer to regard these 'living beings' as psychiatrists, but their treatment methods are too extreme. Human life is like a puzzle, something is missing, Wherever there is an empty space, the entire structure will become loose and prone to collapse if it is empty for a long time. "Huo Ling" encourages people to pursue whatever they lack, and to spare no effort to fill the hole and make up for it at all costs. "

Angers handed the Seven Deadly Sins to Lin Nian, "When people pursue what they desire most, they can always explode with unimaginable power."

Lin Nian took the Dragon Sword Box and felt its heavy weight, "I'm very curious about the origin of these 'living spirits', seven living beings with different personalities. Could it be that Zhengtong really secretly raised seven living beings in an unknown place?" A pure-blooded dragon?"

"The production process of 'living' does not require pure blood dragons." Angers said, "There are some things that do not need to be investigated thoroughly."

"I know." Lin Nian nodded.

"The thing is in your hands. Don't lose it or break it. Although it is a test product, it still has to be returned to the person over there with the test report afterwards." Angers asked.

"I'll try my best." Lin Nian couldn't guarantee anything, because the objects that were always in his hands would not end well in the end. The first was transportation, and the second was weapons. There was a record of not even a single one being returned completely.

Ange looked at Lin Nian, who was looking out the window and lost in thought as soon as he calmed down, and said, "Don't you want to know why among the several groups, only Group E is special?"

"If you can speak, I can also listen." Lin Nian replied.

"It can be said, and it is something that the orthodox side has specifically told you to tell you."

"So this is the orthodox meaning." Lin Nian turned around with the Dragon Sword Box in hand, retracting his eyes and thoughts.

Angers took out a box of odorless poplar matches from the breast pocket of his suit, walked to the cabinet in the corner and took out the pinewood cigar box, then picked up the cigar scissors on the counter and cut the edges carefully. Until there was a slight "squeak" sound of burning in the darkness, and some faint firelight leaked out from in front of the old man with his back to Lin Nian. The firelight was bright and dim. It was the burning cigar that was bitten in his mouth. Even breathing is fueling the combustion, and the flame in front of the cigar head lights up and goes out rhythmically: "Do you know about the Nibelung Plan?"

"I know some, but not much." Lin Nian stood upright by the window with a calm gaze. The rain outside the window continued. The heavy rain at night washed the Cassel College, and the waves circled on the artificial lake surrounded by dim woods. "I heard It is said that the secret party has always had a project, which can rely on the legacy of the first generation of species to safely enhance the bloodline of hybrids through the most cutting-edge alchemical technology, so that hybrids will not be genetically altered by dragon blood when they exceed the 'critical blood limit', complete once Deep 'evolution'."

“Orthodoxy wants this technology.”

"There's no one who doesn't want this technology."

"It is true that no one can refuse excessive wealth, but people who are truly addicted to wealth are often those who have already held part of the wealth in their hands. Because only those who have vested interests will know how tempting the benefits are. Deep is good." Angers blew out the match that was burning with a soft flame, and a large amount of white smoke rose in front of him.

He chewed his cigar and opened the cabinet, and selected a bottle of Sig whiskey from Appenzell, Switzerland. He also held two Locke glasses between his fingers. The walls of the glasses were gently squeezed and hit, making a crisp tinkling sound. "Orthodoxy is here." They have always made great achievements in artificially improving the bloodline research of mixed-race individuals. This is a topic they have been carrying out for hundreds of years. Unlike the Nibelungen, which was established recently by the secret party, they have already come up with many achievements in this field. Partial results.”

"." Lin Nian responded in silence, watching Angers standing at the round table directly illuminated by the chandelier, placing the two Rock cups one on the left and one on the right. He knew this was an invitation, and he had no reason to refuse, so in Angers He covered the whiskey cap with a handkerchief and turned it slightly while carrying the Dragon Sword box and walked over.

Angers unscrewed the cap of the whiskey bottle, put the wine and cap at hand, turned and walked to the wine cabinet and bent down to take out the ice bucket that had been prepared below. It was his habit as an old man to always add some ice when drinking whiskey.

Lin Nian stood at the table, was silent for a moment and then said, "Is it about the 'Moon' project?"

He knew that some things could only be said privately, and it was for this reason that Angers deliberately dismissed the others in advance, leaving him alone here.

"Well, the orthodox have always cared about the 'Moon' project. This is their painstaking work, the work of their painstaking efforts for more than a hundred years." Angers stood in front of the cabinet holding an ice knife and focused on cutting out two rounded ones in the ice bucket. Ice cube, "But some technical problems cannot be solved naturally through the accumulation of time. They are a natural shackles given to human beings. If you want to break through this shackles, you must continue to spend hundreds or thousands of times to continue to settle in order to find a trace of it." Aura, or rely on some external power to give this key aura."

"No wonder the orthodox and secret parties specifically requested that the vice-principal must be present when they signed the alliance." Lin Nian seemed to understand something.

"The vice-chancellor is the initiator and planner of the 'Nibelungen Plan'. The entire 'Nibelungen Plan' is based on his ideas and techniques. Don't look at the vice-chancellor's appearance. In terms of alchemy, He is the one who inherited the Flamel."

"I have never underestimated the vice-principal. Even if he goes off line again, no one will really think that he is a waste." Lin Nian said, "Even Lu Mingfei has guessed that the vice-principal has something else that we don't know about." one side."

"In front of you, he may be a good-for-nothing uncle who loves to watch young female students take swimming exams, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is the 'Flamel' who represents the highest inheritance of alchemy. Even the elders would respectfully call him mentor when they met him." Angers said, "The orthodox took a fancy to this aspect of him, and also learned about the secret party's 'Nibelungen Plan' through some channels. ', so I deliberately wanted to get some technical support to repair the last brick of the 'month' plan. A tall building rises from the ground, but repairing the cornices on the top is the most difficult part of the entire project."

"So." Lin Nian did not hear any connection between these little secrets of the alliance between the Orthodox and the Secret Party and him.

"Compared with the 'Month' plan that has been reborn several times, even dozens or hundreds of times, the 'Nibelung Plan' is just a new plan. It still has shortcomings. If the experiment is carried out according to the current original plan , the final product is generally just unsatisfactory, but the career of slaying dragons is not just unsatisfactory, but perfection and excellence." Angers said, "If you want to make up for the gap in this aspect, it is the same as mentioned before, or rely on Time, or external forces.”

Ange turned back and looked at Lin Nian under the chandelier beside the table, "You probably don't know that the school board has always thought that you have your own way to obtain forbidden power from above the 'critical blood limit'?"

Lin Nian raised his head slightly and looked at Ange in surprise.

"They believe that you have a completely new set of knowledge that is different from the 'violent blood' technology. Otherwise, they cannot explain your strength all the time." Ange said slowly, looking at Lin Nian in the light from a few meters away.

Lin Nian roughly understood what Angers was referring to, and said, "That's probably just a misunderstanding."

Twelve serve as the gospel spirit to forgive the suffering and the weak.

This forbidden knowledge is derived from bloodline refining technology, but is different from bloodline refining technology. It comes from the lost technology of the Great Library.

The only time he used this technology and was exposed to the public was probably the time he clashed with the captain of the UII team. The external characteristics of the Twelve Gospel Spirit Constructs when used were so obvious that they could be identified at a glance. It is distinguished from normal bloodline refining technology.

Does the school board think that he has always relied on this technology to kill those dragons? But before he mastered this technology, he had already encountered Norton and Constantine, and successfully imprinted them into history textbooks.

"Is it a misunderstanding?" Angers nodded slightly, "Actually, they had this idea from the time you killed Constantine and Norton. Until the conflict between you and the UII team was exposed in front of everyone, they Only then did I become more convinced of this conjecture.”

Lin Nian just shook his head.

He came over with an ice bucket, "Lin Nian, you are different from most people. People always want to figure out why you are different. If they find an explanation that can convince them, then they will firmly believe in this explanation." , and try to use various methods to prove the correctness of this explanation. People only believe the facts they want to believe."

"What about you, principal?" Lin Nian looked directly into Ange's eyes, "Principal, what do you think in this regard?"

"I think they must have misunderstood you. The source of your power is not the so-called unknown technology." Angers said calmly. He placed two pieces of cut ice into the inner frame of the Locke cup and wiped it. He picked up the whiskey bottle behind his hand and poured it into it. The golden liquor poured onto the snow-white round ice, dyeing it bright colors.

"Is that so?" Lin Nian said, "It seems that the principal's vision is indeed different from others."

"The more people know, the less likely they are to make random guesses. As you can see, I have always been a knowledgeable person in the eyes of others. In fact, most of my knowledge does not come from hard study, but from living too much. The experience brought by the long-term exchanges. The more you see and travel, the more you will naturally be considered knowledgeable." Angers bit his cigar and lowered his head to pour the wine. "In this hearing, the school board probably has the original plan. The purpose is to pressure you into submission. On the one hand, it is to hope that you can become a better tool in their hands, and on the other hand, it is to completely dig out your hidden secrets - secrets that are different from others."

"I can't let them succeed, can I?" Lin Nian said.

Angers didn't answer, finished pouring the wine, and pushed the glass in front of Lin Nian, "Good stuff matured in 130-year-old old beer oak barrels. It tastes like malt and hops, and is characterized by juicy fruit." Flavors and spices, and a hint of vanilla from the oak barrel.”

Lin Nian took the Locke cup and looked at the wine in the cup. He wanted to say something, but felt it was inappropriate and didn't know if certain words should be revealed at this time.

Lin Xian and the blond girl taught him that the reason why those dark secrets were hidden was because the sharp blade had not yet been removed behind the black curtain. If he reached out rashly to reveal it, he would only get his hands cut full of blood without any pain relief. of any other.

"You have always been a special case." Angers sat next to this piece of antique furniture that still had a somewhat solemn atmosphere, holding the wine glass and raising his head slightly. "In the past, when you were still hiding your capabilities and biding your time, you could still stay out of trouble. You can avoid a lot of troubles outside, but from the moment you pull the thing off the throne, everything becomes a thing of the past. People swarming you are like bloodthirsty ants, wanting to explore the milk and honey hidden in you. This is true of the secret party, and so is the orthodoxy.”

Lin Nian lowered his head and took a sip of the wine. Just as Ange said, it had the flavor of malt and the unique sweet taste of juice.

"The orthodox 'month' plan has reached a critical juncture. In the past, the 'month' as ​​a facade has repeatedly failed on important occasions, which made some orthodox high-ranking people lose their patience, and they began to question the 'month' plan. correctness, and began to proactively seek help from the outside world. At this time, the secret party's 'Nibelungen Plan' was a huge opportunity in their eyes." Angers changed the topic.

"Do those arrogant talkers in the orthodoxy really think that the secret party's technology will be superior to theirs? This shouldn't be right?" Young Lin said in a low voice, "In my opinion, those guys should never admit defeat until they die. People, the idea of ​​seclusion should be engraved in their brains."

"Perhaps they have also read the history books published by the People's Education and learned some lessons?" Angers smiled.

Lin Nian declined to comment.

"The 'Moon' plan is of great strategic significance to Orthodoxy. It is their century-old project, and it is also a plan that has been built with countless resources and lives." The old man said calmly, "But this plan encountered problems They urgently need to break through the technical bottleneck.”

"Then you shouldn't rush to seek medical treatment." Lin Nian said, "The 'Nibelungen Plan' has not yet emerged, so why do you think the secret party can help them?"

"Because orthodoxy believes that you are the successful product of the Secret Party's 'Nibelung Plan'!" Angers said in a low voice, without saying anything surprising.

Lin Nian looked up. He felt a little ridiculous and hesitated to move the wine glass. "They should know that the 'Nibelung Plan' was only proposed recently, right?"

"No, in fact, the 'Nibelung Plan' took shape a long time ago, and it was only officially brought to the table for discussion after the successful capture of the Lord of Bronze and Fire. But the orthodox don't think so, they have their own' The Moon Project, and also has its own Moon, when they know that the secret party has such a Nibelungen Plan, they will naturally look at you." Angers kicked his trouser pocket with his left hand, and kicked his right hand Holding the glass and sipping lightly, "People will only believe the facts they want to believe. Maybe a long time ago, they have suspected that you are the product of a certain plan like 'Yue'? I said, your performance is really It’s so amazing. Everything that is amazing must be amazing for a reason.”

Lin Nian unexpectedly did not deny it, but remained silent.

"Do you know why Baidi City and the Bronze Purgatory Orthodoxy under the Yangtze River are willing to work together with the Secret Party to develop it?" Ange tilted his head and looked at Lin Nian, "That's because of your existence. You and Lu Mingfei killed the Dragon King, This is a fact that is obvious to all, so the orthodox believe that the Secret Party has an innovative technology that is even better than the 'Moon' Project, and you are the finished product of this technology! They share the legacy of the Dragon King with us, and have no relationship with the Secret Party for this. The reason why the Party went to war is because they believe that the value you represent is greater than the legacy of the Lord of Bronze and Fire himself!"

"This is a bit of a joke." Lin Nian tilted his head and put the wine glass close to his lips, "What do the secret parties think?"

"The secret party itself is an insider of the 'Nibelungen Plan'. They know that your specialness has nothing to do with this plan that has not yet been implemented and only has concepts and technologies, but this does not prevent them from relying on this intelligence gap to accept The orthodox side has shown goodwill and willingness to cooperate." Angers said slowly, "But now almost a year has passed, and the orthodox side has begun to put pressure on the secret party. One year of research on the King of Bronze and Fire, and one year of research on the secret party. The party's exchange and study still did not receive any help for the advancement of the 'Month' plan. But what is interesting is that the secret party also thought about the 'Nibelung Plan' to satisfy the orthodox appetite, but in the end the more they studied, the more they found that even The Nibelung Plan was executed perfectly, and the resulting masterpiece fell far short of what the Secret Party wanted."

Lin Nian chuckled, a little ironic. Interest groups' mutual deception and games would always lead to such ridiculous scenes. At the same time, he also understood in silence the reason why Angers stayed and said these words to him. Now he has never seen the current situation so clearly.

"The Orthodox want to know the secrets about you." Angers said, "The Secret Party also wants to know the secrets about you. Both sides are suspicious and speculating, but in the end, the source of the problem will flow back to the same destination."

"I probably know why my group meeting is so special this time." Lin Nian put down his wine glass, "The school board failed to get the answer from me, so they simply handed over the entire test paper intact."

"Or is this a ghostwriting experience?" Angers raised his glass and took a sip. "Since the school board can't get anything out of you, let Zhengtong give it a try. Maybe it will actually get something out of you." It’s a situation where both families benefit.”

"Then the key is, should I let them succeed?" Lin Nian looked at Angers.

"It depends on yourself." Angers didn't look at him, leaning on the table and shaking the round ice in the wine glass, "Actually, what's interesting is that the reason why Orthodoxy believes so firmly in the Secret Party can make the 'Moon' Project break through. There is one. Only a few people know about this. It is said that the orthodox 'Yue' entered a state of near-death for a period of time after encountering the King of Earth and Mountain at the South Railway Station, but someone rescued her from the brink of death. After that, the orthodox internal authorities discovered during regular physical examinations for the 'Yue' that the 'Yue' system that they were proud of had undergone some small and clever changes, and it was these changes that allowed her to survive successfully. , rather than the whole thing collapsing and becoming something more dangerous than Deadpool. Do you have any clues about this?"

"Not at all." Lin Nian said.

Ange stared at Lin Nian for a while, then put down his wine glass, patted his shoulder gently, stood up and gradually walked into the shadow where the chandelier could not illuminate, leaving only a faint voice, "This journey back to China is more beautiful than ever." You want to be dangerous. In addition to facing the awakening of the unknown dragon king, many people are paying attention to you, hoping that you will make mistakes and expose some secrets, so it never hurts to pay more attention."

Lin Nian looked at Ange's walking back without saying a word for a long time.

Then principal, are you also one of the people who covets my secret? In other words, as you said, you are so knowledgeable that you already know those dark secrets.
