Chapter 1454 The Winners

The sky in Illinois was gloomy and raining heavily. The CC1000 train broke through the curtain and rushed out of the red pine forest. Its bright lights cut through the foggy watery night and slowly entered the open-air platform to stop.

The carriage door opened, and an umbrella was quickly handed to the door to pick up Veleva, who bowed her head and walked out of it. Veleva raised her head and glanced at the person picking her up, then froze, "Minister Schneider."

On such a rainy day, von Schneider, the head of the executive department who is known for his worrying physical condition, ignored the rainy weather after receiving the Bei'an team's return, put on a black raincoat and waited on the platform the whole time, just to be able to Hold the first umbrella to protect the warriors of Kassel College from the wind and rain.

"You're home." Schneider handed the umbrella to Veleva. Behind him, the executive department specialist who was worried that he would get caught in the rain also quickly brought another umbrella to cover him.

"Hello, Minister." Susie, Zero, and Fingel, who came down from behind, all spotted Schneider and said hello while getting off the station and onto the platform under their umbrellas.

"These are not the only students I sent to Bei'an." Schneider said loudly as he watched the compartment door close and slid back into the rainy train. Only speaking like this could cut through the noise of the heavy rain and strong wind.

"This... it's a long story." Veleva's face was also full of words. After Schneider saw her expression, he just waved for them to go to the extended Alpha parked next to the platform.

The Alfa's car door was opened, Susie and others put away their umbrellas and got in one by one. Schneider finally got in the car. The executive department commissioner who was facing the violent storm outside closed the car door and braved the wind and rain to return to the two Passats around him. He started his engine and followed Alpha to escort him.

In Elfane, the soundproof and bulletproof modified glass blocks the violent storm outside into another world. The warm and dry air conditioner blows on everyone and takes away the rain, but it cannot take away the speechless feeling between them. of silence.

"They are all dejected." Schneider glanced at them one by one. "According to the intelligence exchanged between Orthodox and us, we should have won a great victory in this war. The Dragon King was successfully repulsed and even killed. One of them, Orthodoxy, rarely competed with us for the credit, and gave the greatest honor to you. Now you should act more excited, instead of being dejected as if you have lost the battle. "

Several people were still silent. Fingel, who was the most out-of-control, was just pouring sugar into his coffee cup. Zero and Susie sat on the left and right, looking at the track of rainwater on the car window. In the distance, there are blurry rainy nights and the misty Passat lights coming from behind the car.

"Well, let me give a brief report." Veleva could see that she seemed to be the only "normal" person in their team now. Everyone had their own thoughts and were troubled by those thoughts. It's ironic, in the past she was full of hatred and scheming, but now she has become the simplest one.

Vileva briefly described the process of the Bei'an operation, describing it in detail from beginning to end. The basic process was no different from what the orthodox one had given to the secret party, so some details would be clearer, such as Lancelot was seriously injured because Xiawang secretly fled to the Nibelungen and was injured during the chase. Jörmungandr retreated because Chu Zihang remained calm in the face of danger and used the forbidden violent blood technique to force the Dragon King with his life. Stand back to avoid starting a fight in a downtown area and hurting innocent people.

After listening to Veleva's explanation, Schneider sat on the chair and clasped his hands together. The sound of inhalation in the breathing mask was hoarse and heavy. The oxygen tank in the car followed the bumps of Alpha's pressure through the puddles on the winding mountain road. There was a slight collision sound, and after a long time he raised his head and looked at Velova with his Aryan gray eyes, "Did Lin Nian make up the lyrics?"

"I don't quite understand what you are talking about, Minister." Veleva raised her head slightly, letting the back of her head rest on the car pillow for more support and confidence.

"If it were Su Xiaoqiang or Su Qian who fabricated the confession, maybe they would be more careful. He is not a collusion material. You should not give this job to him." Schneider said lightly, "Many details are not correct at all and are unreasonable. , for example, if Lancelot discovered in advance that Xiawang was the Dragon King, he would definitely not chase him into the Nibelungen, because the hotel you booked is some distance from the subway station, and any form of pursuit or conflict on the way would lead to innocent people. Civilian casualties, Lancelot is the one with the strongest training marks among you, and will not make such stupid mistakes.”

"Secondly, bloodline refining technology is indeed a dangerous technology, but don't forget that Chu Zihang had already fallen into a state of out-of-control bloodline when he landed in Bei'an. How could he use violent blood to intimidate the Dragon King in a short period of time? To say the least, even if he was extremely talented and succeeded in controlling the out-of-control bloodline, he would definitely not be able to use this to make the Dragon King retreat. If he could do it, the encounter at the South Railway Station should be There is a picture of him.”

"There were other hybrids present. What if Jörmungandr was afraid of throwing a rat weapon and was held back by Chu Zihang, thus attracting more troublesome enemies? At that time, Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei were among the Nibelungs. But after that, Fenrir is rushing to the ground."

"It is possible, but my intuition tells me that you are lying. Rather than providing evidence, I would rather trust my intuition, make a judgment first, and then find evidence bit by bit based on the judgment." Schneider said slowly.

What a tyrant.

Vileva couldn't help but think to herself that the ghost-like man in front of her was worthy of being hailed as the most suitable person to succeed Hilbert Jean Angers. This beast-like intuition was better to believe than to believe in evidence. One's own arrogance is all the characteristics of those who are truly in power.

"Besides, the biggest flaw in your rhetoric has always been in front of you, and you don't even need to prove it." Schneider glanced at them and said calmly, "I remember that you are not the only students I sent to Bei'an. I have not seen a casualty list in the official report, and no signature form for the return of the remains has been delivered to my desk, but there are indeed a few figures missing in front of me now. "

He lowered his eyes and glanced at these people, "I also hope that the real process of what happened is as perfect as your report, but it can be seen from your faces, emotions and atmosphere that this is not the case."

"They all have their own things to do for the time being." Veleva said, while looking at her companions around her for help, hoping they could help her out. But she quickly discovered in despair that both Susie and Zero were lost in thought, their hearts no longer in the car, and Fingel fell asleep after drinking a large cup of coffee with sugar and creamer. He fell asleep soundly on the pillow. Alpha's air conditioner made him sleepy. The slightly dry weather in Beijing had always made him very uncomfortable. After returning to Illinois where the humidity was suitable, he was like a rainbow trout migrating into the bay. The fish are just waiting to find a comfortable place to lay their eggs.

"At least tell me where they went. It won't be too late for me to ask Bei'an for details after you are all here. At least now we still have a ready-made report to submit to the superiors. As for the real report, we can consider delaying it slightly. After a while, the specific details will be finalized and then be included in Norma's archives." Schneider crossed his fingers and clenched his fists, giving Veleva a fairly loose range, which would at least give the girl a big sigh of relief.

It can be seen that Villeva was really relieved. Some of Schneider's thoughts about the real situation were immediately eliminated, and he also began to adjust his attitude and skills in subsequent inquiries. As a former spy of the school board, Villeva The baby is still too young in front of the director of the execution department, a real veteran and the head of the secret service.

"Then I'll tell you. Anyway, I didn't want to hide it for long in the beginning." Veleva raised her hands to cover her forehead, feeling a little tired. In fact, at the beginning, they planned to hide the matter until at least three days before making any plans, but now they just Schneider took off his pants as soon as he got on the bus - the spy chief had probably calculated that these people would hide behind closed doors and play the missing thing once they returned to the academy, so he came directly to the station to block people. He was considered a prophet of the future, and he was also from the older generation. experience.

"Let's talk about Lin Nian first, where is he now?" The first thing Schneider asked was the student who was least allowed to make mistakes. As the face of the secret party and Kassel College, he should appear in public on subsequent occasions. It would be best to go Hall of Heroes publicly delivered an exciting speech, fully mobilizing the dragon-slaying enthusiasm of other students in the college who followed his example, and laying a foundation for the overall atmosphere of the college.

Basically, with Lin Nian here, the Academic Affairs Department doesn't have to worry about the freshmen's sense of belonging to the secret party and their enthusiasm for slaying the dragon itself. Lin Nian is a living beacon. As long as he is still active in front of the stage, everyone will use him as a centripetal force to continuously gather together and become a terrifying force that the entire world cannot ignore.

"He went back to his hometown," said Veleva.

"What is he going back for? Does he want to take a leave of absence? Why doesn't he apply to the Academic Affairs Office?" Schneider was a little confused.

"No, there's no official reason for him to go back to his hometown. It's because Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang went back to their hometown."

Schneider paused for a few seconds, then came to his senses, "The three of them seem to live in the same city."

Even from the same alma mater, Schneider seemed to have heard complaints from the admissions office before that three outstanding dragon-slaying embryos actually came from the same place. They all considered whether to go to the hometown of Kassel F3 to do some field work. Investigate and see if the water and soil in that city are more suitable for raising excellent hybrids.

"What are they doing back there? Is there something urgent to do?" Schneider asked.

"The reason why Chu Zihang went back is not very clear. I only noticed that he always had a key with him before he left. From time to time, he would take it out to look at or touch his pocket. I think his return must have something to do with that key."

"Where did that key come from?"

"Not sure."

"What about Lu Mingfei?"

"He" Wei Lewa suddenly fell silent.

Schneider waited for her next words, Elfane, Zero and Susie all remained silent. Fingel fell asleep with his head tilted back, ignoring what was going on in the car.

"He went to attend the memorial service." Veleva said carefully, "A friend of his met with misfortune during the incident between the Earth and the King of the Mountain. He was responsible for sending that friend's body back to his hometown, and attending the other party's meeting by the way. 's memorial service.

"Yeah" Schneider had no objection to this reason.

"As for Lancelot, after he got off the plane, he was transferred to the best hospital in Chicago for re-diagnosis of his injuries. The execution department should have handed over this point, so I don't need to say more." Veleva said, "Caesar and Chen Motong have always acted privately on their own, and we don't know their whereabouts."

"They have returned to the academy one day ago, and the Executive Department has arranged for them to take a month-long vacation adjustment."

"Administrative leave or something like that?" Veleva asked.

"You have to make up for the missed courses. There are still some differences in essence. You seem to have missed one person at the end. Where is Su Xiaoqiang?"

"Oh, she is with Lin Nian. You know, she goes wherever Lin Nian goes, and the place they go to is also her hometown. It is normal for her to go back to see her parents." Vileva said casually.

"Okay."

After grasping everyone's general whereabouts, Schneider nodded and fell into quiet thinking. When Alpha was about to arrive at the Mountaintop Academy, he said, "The academy has prepared a celebration banquet for you tonight. Although the people who should be present are not all here, as a representative, I suggest that all of you go to the dinner and pass on some experience and encouragement to the younger generations."

"Okay." Vileva said.

Schneider looked at Susie and Ling again. The latter two noticed his gaze and looked at each other, and just nodded gently without refusing.

As for Finger, Schneider didn't even look at him and let him sleep there.

"I mean to show some attitude of a winner. Now, whether it is the orthodox or the secret party, they have announced that the Dragon King Battle was a complete victory, so the victors should have a high-profile attitude." Schneider looked at the little ones who had a look of dejection on their faces and reminded them.

"Yes." They answered in unison, and their interest was still not that high.

The attitude of a winner. The Dragon King was indeed repelled, and Nibelungen was also destroyed underground, but did they really win? When Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei supported each other and left Nibelungen, and separated from each other in silence in front of everyone, was the gap that could almost be seen with the naked eye really a sign of victory?

If that was the inevitable price brought by victory, was this price too high?

After the end of this turbulent dragon-slaying battle, it seemed that everyone had lost something. The shadow cast by the towering height of the lost things seemed to have covered the honor and glory brought by the victory. Whether it was worth it, whether it should be cheered and celebrated, I am afraid that only those who lost are qualified to judge.

Schneider no longer asked about Bei's mission report. He had already made his own plan. Besides, the real masters who should come back were still outside. Maybe when they return, all the mysteries will be solved.

"By the way, don't forget to attend the principal's afternoon tea party on time tomorrow at noon."

The iron gate of Kassel College opened, and Alpha greeted the Norton Hall in the distance, which was brightly lit. Under the eaves of the hall, lights were hung, and every window emitted warm and festive light, illuminating the faces of the lost souls in the car glass.
