Chapter 688 Flowers Bloom

When Manstein and Schneider passed through the alloy isolation layer lifted by Norma and arrived at the ground floor of the library, the scene in front of them might be a little bloody for the elderly.

The floor in the center of the hall was covered with hard-covered books stained with blood. The blood was smeared on the floor of the library, which had to be cleaned twice a day. At first glance, it looked like an accident at a pig-killing scene. A pig had its throat cut and escaped. He ran around the hall happily without being restrained by the rope, and was as chaotic as he was.

Naturally, Schneider and Manstein didn't really think that someone had killed a pig here, but it was a real thing that they had killed an animal. In the surveillance video, they watched what was happening below. As soon as they saw the ground floor, they immediately saw it. Focusing on the chaotic sea of ​​books, the man whose head had turned into a bloody gourd was in front of everyone.

Put the watermelon on the table for a moment, then hit it with a stone a dozen or dozens of times. The final product is this horrible thing in front of you. You can almost see most of the watermelon kernel inside, which is enough to see the watermelon being smashed. How strong is the person's hand? If it were anyone else, even if they hit it with a stone, they might not be able to achieve this effect. Thanks to the unlucky guy who became the target, there were some tough and strong auxiliary limbs behind him to support the ground. Otherwise, it would have been a long time ago. It was knocked to the ground.

Manstein looked at Lin Xian not far away with some complicated thoughts, who was replenishing "ammunition" from the bookshelf area and bringing back a large number of hard-covered books. This girl was probably the only one who could find so many hard-covered books so quickly and accurately. Is the book in the shell? After all, she has finished most of the valuable books in the library, so this is "knowledge is power" in disguise?

Then this power is really not small, and it can be used directly on people.

"Okay, stop." Schneider said, and at the same time, Lin Xian noticed the two people coming down from the second floor.

"Professor Schneider, Professor Manstein? It turns out you are the ones in the control room." Lin Xian was surprised to see the two old men walking towards him from the pile of books he was holding.

"Lin Xian." Manstein nodded lightly towards Lin Xian.

Since Lin Xian entered the Psychology Department, Manstein, as Lin Nian's mentor, has only met with Lin Xian in the college a handful of times. This is because fundamentally there is no connection between them except Lin Nian. connect.

But this is not the reason why he is estranged from Lin Xian. In other words, Lin Xian does not have the concept of "birth" with anyone. Her interpersonal relationships in this college are always easy to handle. Most people who know her After hearing her name, most people just think "Oh, it seems there is such a girl".

If they were to ask for their specific impressions of her, they would probably be "teacher of the Psychology Department", "Assistant of Masashi Toyama", "library atmosphere team", "psychological consultation available 24 hours a day". These categories are not outstanding, but But it’s a label that makes people feel slightly better.

To be honest, it is very impressive that an ordinary person can do this in Kassel College. In an alternative and high-pressure environment, he is recognized by aliens and gets used to living with them day and night. This is an adaptation worthy of praise. sex.

But if this girl was not an ordinary person from the beginning, but a potential hybrid, an exceptionally excellent hybrid, then this matter would be particularly intriguing. Outliers like Lin Nian, Chu Zihang, and Caesar may have been outliers in the past, but as long as they are placed in the right place, they can immediately shine and become supernovae that no one can ignore. .

But what about Lin Xian? What about Lin Xian, who has shown a pedigree that can make people breathlessly awe?

For twenty years, regardless of the changes in the environment or the changes in the people around her, she has always been in a place that is neither outstanding nor forgotten. This kind of dormancy and mentality is "comfortable with the status quo" for ordinary people. ", but if it is placed on a mixed race, it would be a bit intriguing.

Two deafening gunshots rang out in the library, interrupting Manstein's complex psychological activities. He turned around in shock and saw that the gun firmly held in Schneider's right hand was still warm. In M1911, a man supported by auxiliary limbs, or rather a corpse, had three balls of blood exploding from his forehead and heart, two on his body and one on his head.

Manstein and Lin Xian both glanced at Schneider, who retracted his gun and put it on his back and said, "It's safer this way."

Typical Mozambican shooting methods, any field commissioner in the executive department has received special training. When firing against an enemy with a gun, they must ensure that they hit the fatal point three times to erase the enemy from their mind. . After all, the vitality of hybrids is obvious to all. Only three fatal point penetrations can guarantee an 80% mortality rate. The remaining 20% ​​is probably when you encounter Deadpool, and you have to completely smash the opponent's brain or destroy it. It's over when the head is chopped off.

"It is said that the 'stone punishment' in Tianfang teachings is the most cruel punishment. I didn't expect that there is such a death method as 'book punishment'." Guderian's voice came from behind the two professors. Shi Ran stayed on the first floor and saw the corpse with a blooming head. My mother was shocked, but she didn't feel sick or uncomfortable because of the blood.

Compared with the three experienced professors, Lin Xian's adaptability is more noticeable. This girl should not have participated in any actual combat training, but she can be so ruthless in her first real fight. Smashing a person to death with a book (maybe half to death) is like the difference between crushing a cockroach to death with one foot and slowly torturing a cat or dog to death. The former is quick but short-lived, while the latter is heart-wrenching. Abuse requires tremendous cruelty and indifference.

That kind of life slowly dying in the hands, the sound and picture of constantly twisting and wailing before death are extremely exciting. This is also the true meaning of "a gentleman is far away from the kitchen" in the ancient text.

Lin Xian is not a gentleman. She has always been perceived as an intellectual lady, but no one would have thought that when she was really ruthless, she could be so indifferent that she could kill a living person slowly and slowly, even though this person was an enemy.

"You're fine." After Schneider put away the gun, he looked at Lin Xian who put down the book on the table and was silent for a few seconds. Finally, he nodded and said these three words.

It may be talking about Lin Xian's bloodline, or it may be saying that this girl did not show abnormal emotions in the face of blood and death, even disgust and physical discomfort. This appearance is reminiscent of the current ace of the execution department, the boy who also never had any abnormal emotions in the face of battle and death.

It seems that this pair of siblings are really carved from the same mold, no matter their personalities or something deeper.

Manstein took another look at Schneider. In his memory, the head of the executive department rarely praised people. The last person who praised him was Lin Nian. His background was that he killed three generations of people in the Port of Chicago without any emotion. So in the eyes of this cold and stern minister, does Lin Xian's victory over the enemy this time reach the same level of achievement as Lin Nian's?

"If it's not good enough, it will cause trouble to Minister Schneider, Professor Manstein, and Professor Guderian. Without your help, it would be difficult for me to survive." Lin Xian folded his hands in front of him and bowed seriously to express his gratitude. .

Manstein's face was a little confused, Schneider said nothing, but Guderian rubbed the back of his head with a confused look on his face, because he really didn't know what kind of help he had done to Lin Xian, who had been busy in the control room.

"It was you who came up with the idea of ​​'turning on the lights' to blind the enemy. We were just acting as messengers to command Norma. The credit for protecting the library and even the entrance to the ice cellar cannot be attributed to us. This incident was The fact that you solved it entirely by yourself proves your excellent ability and awareness." Schneider waited until Lin Xian bowed and stood up, looked at her and said lightly.

Manstein's eyes darkened slightly, and he glanced at Schneider from the corner of his eye. This seemingly commendable speech actually had a profound meaning, but he just didn't know if Lin Xian could understand the hidden meaning.

"No, it's just coincidence and luck that I survived. It's thanks to the help of Minister Schneider and two professors. With Norma's defense measures, it is impossible for this person to break through the ice cellar, so this chaos is more or less caused by me. Professor, I'm sorry for worrying you so much." Lin Xian apologized sincerely.

Manstein's mouth moved slightly, but he said nothing. Schneider was quiet for a while, then nodded, "I understand."

From beginning to end, no one mentioned the issue of Lin Xian's bloodline. The three professors quietly looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes, but all they saw was deep thought and silence.

"But let me ask. What happened in the college? Is this attack on the library a special case?" Lin Xian rubbed his wrists that were sore from losing books for a long time, and turned to look at the man standing in the sea of ​​blood pooled in books. the corpse asked.

"The college has been attacked in a planned and organized manner. This is just one of them. Now it has become a battlefield outside. I have asked Norma to seal off the library. This is the entrance to the ice cellar and the command center. I didn't expect you to be still there in the middle of the night. In the library." Schneider glanced at the corner of the library, where there was a skewed table with some books and an alcohol lamp scattered on it. Books are normal, but alcohol lamps appear here. The place seems a little strange.

But he just recorded it in his heart and did not ask further questions at the moment, because the current occasion was not suitable for talking about these things.

"Where is Lin Nian? Where is he now?" Sure enough, when it came to the academy being invaded and turned into a battlefield, the first thing Lin Xian thought of was his younger brother.

"I don't know. We lost contact with him. He should have attended the celebration banquet at the Anbo Pavilion tonight, but now there has been some accident at the Anbo Pavilion and he has disappeared. Don't look at me with that look. According to the survivors, Judging from the report, Lin Nian was not at the scene when the incident occurred at the Amber Hall, but left the hall and did not know what to do, and now even Norma cannot contact him," Schneider said.

"If it is Commissioner Lin Nian's trace, the 'Sky Eye' system deployed in the college three minutes ago has been updated in real time, and there are records that appear to be consistent with Commissioner Lin Nian's movement track. Do you need to sort out and report in real time?" Suddenly Suddenly, Norma's voice rang out from the loudspeaker in the library hall. This news made everyone stunned for a second, and then their spirits were lifted.

"Have you found Lin Nian?" Manstein's face showed joy.

"Where is he now?" Schneider asked Norma loudly.

"It is impossible to accurately report a fixed location." Norma's voice sounded again, but the answer made people stunned, but the next sentence answered everyone's doubts, "He is moving, moving at a fairly high speed, ten A few seconds ago he was on the artificial lake stone bridge outside Niflheim Palace, and now he is almost moving outside Muspelheim Forest."

—

Schneider and Manstein rushed back to the central control room together, followed by Manstein and Lin Xian who came up with them. After the attack at the bottom was resolved, their energy had to return to overall command. , uniting the strength of the entire Kassel Academy to launch an orderly counterattack.

The explosion in the Amber Pavilion signaled the start of the attack, which was a heavy blow to the college. So now they also need to fight a good battle as a clarion call for counterattack, and a big victory must have a famous general, but in this At that time, the combat power in the academy was indeed very scarce.

Not to mention the freshmen to juniors who are still in training, only the senior students in the academy can truly be regarded as the mainstay elites of the academy. Those are the top soldiers who have passed all practical courses and even the battlefield baptism. It's a pity that they are currently conducting internships in the executive department in far away places. If they are still in the academy at this moment, the attack will be calmed down quickly.

But the lack of backbone troops does not mean that this battle cannot be fought. After all, this is Kassel College, a paradise for hybrids. The birth of the war in this place will not be like the crushing of numbers in the official history without any sense of epicness. Fighting, and the right time and place determines the absolute outcome.

Even if the war is to be compared to the Three Kingdoms, it must be the mythical version of the Three Kingdoms, the romantic version of the Three Kingdoms. In this context, just picking up a Lu Bu or Zhao Zilong and throwing it on the battlefield can directly determine the outcome.

So what about Lu Bu in the academy now?

Norma's answer was that Lu Bu was on his way riding a red rabbit horse.

"Put Lin Nian's movement trajectory on the screen!" Back in the control room, Schneider immediately gave instructions to Norma.

A blue college floor plan flashed on the big screen, and the four people in the control room all stared at one of the fast-moving red dots.

Just like Norma said before, this red dot is moving at an astonishing speed. On the map, it would take a normal person to run ten minutes to cover the distance. This red dot leaves a straight track between the eyes. Traveling through the past. The most outrageous thing is that this man's movement path ignores the terrain. At this moment, he is actually crossing the artificial lake outside Niflheim Palace!

"I remember there are no bridges in that area, right?" Guderian asked blankly.

"Without Norma, can we calculate his moving speed?" Schneider said.

"According to the scale conversion of the college's distribution map, his moving speed fluctuates between 280 kilometers per hour and 300 kilometers per hour, with the fastest reaching over 350 kilometers per hour." Norma quickly gave the answer after calculation.

"That means he is moving at a speed of nearly 100 meters per second?" Manstein quickly calculated and his cheeks twitched, "Where is he going?"

"Turtle, are you about to take off?" Guderian exclaimed, it turned out that the thing under Lu Bu's crotch was not a "Red Hare Horse" but a "Red Hare Horse".

"Where is he going?" Lin Xian suddenly asked.

"Where else can he go in this situation?" Schneider whispered, "Norma, the 'Use Sky Eye' system will cover the battlefields taking place in the entire academy on a flat map."

The next moment, densely packed uniform blue dots appeared on the big screen. Each blue dot represented the students connected to Norma online. They had all been equipped with locators and standard firearms with the help of the school engineering department. Now these people represent the most elite strength of Kassel College currently guarding their home.

While issuing the dragon invasion alarm, Norma quickly and independently selected several students with potential commanding talents through the results of the war practice class through the "protocol" at the bottom of the information database. As the captain of the temporary combat team, these students Commanders lead these combat students to conduct counter-insurgency operations in various places in the academy.

A large number of blue dots are clustered in the corners of the entire academy. Each gathering point is regarded as a whole, and it is also an ongoing "battle situation" of cruel and fierce battles. Blue light waves pulsate rhythmically and radiate to the surrounding area. This also represents the scope of influence of the current "war situation". If a non-combatant member appears within the radiation range, Norma will immediately send a warning via email or text message, pointing out a safe area and ordering them to leave quickly.

Even though Kassel College has never been invaded by armed forces, it was still a strict military fortress when the school was first established. Every anti-invasion agreement stipulates what response measures should be taken under what level of situation. For example, there is a clause in the agreement that if Kassel College is really on the verge of falling and a large amount of intelligence and secrets are leaked, Norma will not hesitate to jump over the authority and detonate some truly dangerous alchemical weapons in the ice cellar, destroying the Mountaintop College. The entire mountain below was sent up to heaven.

It's just that today, these agreements were temporarily sealed by Angers with the authority of the black card, but as long as these instructions are unlocked through the same authority again, Norma can still hold the power to destroy the world.

"According to the logical analysis of the forward route and behavior, he is approaching Muspelheimring." Norma reported.

"What are the criteria for judging behavioral logic?" Schneider, who knew the Norma algorithm very well, immediately asked in depth.

".Intervene in the war and end the war!" Norma replied, her voice cold.

"What is the current situation in Muspelheim Lin?" Schneider asked further. Norma's logical judgment of behavior was calculated based on mathematical modeling based on the student's personality and living habits. According to Lin Nian's character, he rushed directly to the forest after learning about the invasion. The battlefield is in line with his action logic.

"In Muspelheim Forest, one of our teams was in a tough fight. Half an hour ago, multiple biomagnetic fields were detected in Muspelheim Forest, and part of the 'Eye of the Sky' system was paralyzed. Based on logical judgment, the enemy group was released The Lingyan spirit makes it difficult for our team to annihilate and advance, and the current situation is not optimistic."

"Who is the commander of that team?" Manstein asked.

"Second-year student, Lancelot, is the serving vice-president of the Lionheart Club. He showed an excellent overall view and sense of responsibility in the war survival class. This time, as a temporary commander, he led seven 'B'-level students and three "A"-level students engaged in counter-annihilation operations, and now we have lost two students."

"How are the injured students doing?" Guderian asked quickly.

"Dead. It is suspected to be the result of the elemental spirit. There is no possibility of resuscitation." Norma's voice was a little cold. As the artificial intelligence of the academy, this was the appropriate emotion she should show at this moment.

"We only lost two people?" Schneider nodded.

"What do you mean we only lost two people?" Manstein took a deep breath and frowned. Although he knew that Schneider didn't mean that, the execution department's style of using students as tools still made him very uncomfortable. happiness.

"According to the existing intelligence, there is a big problem with the 'commandments' that surround the academy. At least on some of the invading enemies, the 'commandments' cannot play their intended role. Without the help of Yanling, we can fight against these possibilities. Enemies with word spirits are extremely dangerous, and it’s a blessing that Muspelhemlin only lost two people." Schneider said coldly.

"People will always die in war." He did not look at the two professors with very ugly faces behind him, but looked at Norma and said coldly, "Inform the commander of the Muspelheim Forest station that support is about to arrive!"

"It may not be necessary anymore, Minister von Schneider," Norma replied, "The war is over."

"?"

Schneider looked up at the screen and saw that the red dot had already passed through the area of ​​Muspelheim Forest and continued to move forward at high speed without slowing down at all.

"What happened?" Manstein shouted with his eyes wide open, because he saw the blue pulsating light waves on Muspelheim Forest disappear. There are only two possibilities for this situation, either the enemy is completely annihilated. , or their entire army was annihilated. In either case, it means that in the blink of an eye just now, dozens or dozens of lives were lost like dead trees blown by the winter wind, withered branches and leaves. He whizzed down and fell into the dead soil.

"Norma, contact the commander of Muspelhemrin, the sophomore named Lancelot!" Schneider quickly ordered.

"yes."

The central control room fell into silence. Tens of seconds later, the communication was connected, and a tough and tired voice sounded, "Central control room? This is the temporary commander Lancelot. The temporary number of the execution department is 010223A. What's the matter? What instructions?"

There was dead silence in the background of the communication, and there were no gunshots or explosions as expected. Schneider paused and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation over there now?"

"The battle on our side is over." Lancelot paused for a moment, his voice a little strange, a little empty, and it seemed to remind people of the confusion on his face?

This kind of mental state is very strange. It does not fit the situation of a commander or a soldier in a war. Schneider has seen those commissioners who are highly nervous. Every word they speak is tense, and they can I could hear the high-intensity secretion of adrenaline in their words.

But on Lancelot's side, he felt more like he was talking to a somewhat lost person. There was no weight in his voice, as if his attention was not focused on Schneider, who was communicating with him. Is it that something or a certain phenomenon has always attracted a huge part of your mind?

"Has he come?" Schneider asked softly, as if he had guessed something.

".he?"

"Lin Nian."

"I see. That's it." Lancelot suddenly seemed to have solved some puzzle, but his voice was still a little hollow.

The communication was hung up, and a few seconds later Norma received a temporary on-site photo from Wutong Forest. The moment it was uploaded to the big screen, Guderian and Manstein couldn't help but take a step back. His face was dyed red by the dark red light. Behind them, Lin Xian silently looked at the screen without saying a word.

After staring at the photo, Schneider looked away and said calmly, "It seems that he has already decided what to do."

On the screen, the fast-moving red dots on the blue map were already heading to the next location.

—

Muspelheimring.

Lancelot's body was dripping with blood, and his combat uniform was full of traces of smoke and gunfire. He held his mobile phone and stood in the middle of the sycamore forest path filled with craters caused by gunfire and explosions, looking ahead.

Behind him, there were also a group of embarrassed students wearing combat uniforms and carrying weapons. They looked at the scene in the distance in silence and bewilderment. Like Lancelot, their hands and feet were healthy and they could not see any obvious injuries. , but the strange thing is that everyone is bathed in thick dark red blood, as if they have been baptized by a rain of blood from head to toe.

——Maybe there really was a bloody rain in the sycamore forest just now.

A local, man-made rain of blood.

That scene was really beautiful, as if a spring breeze suddenly came, passing quietly through the sycamore forest, blowing on every crazy and violent ugly flower. The spring breeze like scissors cut off their flower buds, causing them to gush out full and bright flower juice. Then countless bright red bouquets bloomed, painting the leaves of the sycamore forest covering the sky as red as maple leaves.

The beautiful scenery of flowers blooming only lasts for a few seconds, just like a short-lived flower in the pan. After the spring breeze blows, only the dead silence of the remaining flowers is left here.

At the feet of Lancelot and the others, a bright red stream flowed to both sides due to the influence of the terrain. In their eyes, the flowers that bloomed before were the flowers blown by the spring breeze. It was simply a bloody cruelty that would leave people with a lifetime of regrets. An unforgettable nightmare.

When the blood veins of the more than twenty violent hybrids expanded, their necks suddenly broke, and their heads fell to the ground as if they were unbalanced. Their headless bodies were still making stiff and dazed movements, and the high-pressure blood flow in their bodies suddenly broke from the broken necks. It soared into the sky and rained down a heavy rain of blood that made people feel chilled all over.

All the sycamore leaves in the path were immersed in a dark red. In the torrent of blood, countless headless corpses were lying on the ground in different postures. Whether they had strong or weak bloodlines, they were all the same, with necks The fractures are so neat and smooth that it’s scary.
