Chapter 874 Out of Control Situation

On the 21st floor of Runde Building, Chu Zihang put his right hand on the door of the conference room. Before he could push it open, the door was already opened from the inside. This made him subconsciously step back and touch the Beretta. But before the gun was pulled out of the belt, a hand stretched out from the crack in the door and pressed on the back of his hand.

Drawing a gun is like drawing a sword, and stopping to draw a gun is equivalent to stopping drawing a sword. Chu Zihang is not proficient in the art of drawing a sword, but even so, his combat readiness is at the level of the elite among the elites. In this world, he can There were not many people who held Chu Zihang down before he made a move. As of now, no new names will be added to this list because the person who walked out of the door was Lin Nian.

The door was opened, and the first thing Chu Zihang saw was the red color on Lin Nian's body that could not be washed away even by heavy rain. The originally pure white T-shirt was bleached into light red. The most intuitive thing was the broken black hair. There were thick blood clots that couldn't be removed with just a simple rinse. It made people feel like he jumped into a pool of blood and simply rinsed it with water. The smell of blood couldn't be washed away at all. On the contrary, it was because the blurred facial features became clearer. The coldness—those burning red golden eyes were even more conspicuous on that expressionless face.

"Is it solved?" Chu Zihang was sure that the person who came out was Lin Nianhou and asked.

"Yeah." Lin Nian raised his left hand and wiped his left lower jaw. He lowered his eyes and saw the documents Chu Zihang was holding in his left hand. "Did you get the thing? They almost got it. They probably wanted the main force to drag it away. Stay with me and send the documents first, but fortunately we have prepared backup plans in advance."

Chu Zihang didn't say anything. Lin Nian noticed the dried red blood on his left shoulder. He immediately frowned and reached out to touch the red-stained fabric of the short T-shirt, "Were you shot?"

Chu Zihang is not Lin Nian. It is normal to be injured or die in an accident without Baqi. Hybrids are never special. In the final analysis, they are still human beings. So what about 'A' level hybrids? In the course of a violent raid, one cold shot and one bullet may be enough to kill someone.

"It doesn't affect the action, compared to this." Chu Zihang transferred the document to his right hand and handed it to Lin Nian, "I think you should take a look."

When Lin Nian took the paper bag, he suddenly noticed that the seal was torn, and his expression suddenly darkened. Chu Zihang observed the change in his expression and said, "There are no missing files. Everything you want is inside. Get the files." People should just tear it open and check whether the contents inside are intact."

Lin Nian's expression changed subtly again. He glanced at Chu Zihang, and when he was about to reach out and take out the film and photocopied documents, he found that Chu Zihang was looking at him silently, with a deep emotion in his golden eyes.

"Let's get out of here first." Lin Nian looked back at the conference room with the door half open. The entire floor-to-ceiling windows inside were artificially shattered, leaving only the suspended window leading to the 21st floor. The sky outside was already bright and it was raining heavily. It is also getting smaller, and the tall buildings in the city are gradually being washed away by the protective color of the night, and they are beginning to take on clear outlines in the skylight.

"What to do with the bodies left here?" Chu Zihang calculated in his mind that the time was now close to six-thirty, and it was already getting late. The length of their raid was at least three times longer than expected.

"Call the execution department and tell them that we have recovered the things. Let the people from the logistics department wash the floor as soon as possible and seal off the entire building." Lin Nian grabbed the documents and walked towards the emergency corridor with Chu Zihang.

The Runde Building will definitely not be open for business today. If the staff of the department store on the ground floor had come to open the door early, they would have noticed something strange about this building. The scene of blood flowing in the emergency corridor would be dangerous if a photo was leaked. Enough to make headlines across the country tomorrow.

"The enemy is in trouble?" Chu Zihang followed Lin Nian and asked him about the battle situation that he had not been present before.

"Generally, he is not a trouble himself, but what I didn't expect was that he could bring a helper." Lin Nian turned into the corridor and went down the stairs.

"Help?" Chu Zihang didn't think that a normal two-on-one hybrid could cause any trouble to Lin Nian. There should be some inside story.

"A third-generation breed. That guy calls himself a 'knight'. I didn't expect him to be a genuine 'knight'. Maybe I don't know enough." Lin Nian wiped the blood on his face as he went downstairs.

Chu Zihang seemed to be shocked by the news. He lowered his head and went downstairs without saying a word for a while, because in his understanding, including the understanding of the entire Kassel Academy students, hybrids and dragons are sworn racial feuds. , the kind of extreme hostility where you should fuck each other's brains out when you meet, how can there be dragons, or is it the third generation of a hybrid that has become the mount of a hybrid?

"That pure-blood dragon corpse?" He immediately remembered a problem that was a hundred times more serious than the corpses of the security guards in the building. If the murder in Runde Building was spread, public opinion would be controlled and a scapegoat would be promoted to cover it up, but if the real dragon corpse was exposed, it would probably trigger a war because of the value of the corpse itself.

"In the Nibelungen. When I entered the conference room, the 'knight' introduced me to the Nibelungen using the mirror as a medium. You should be aware of this concept."

Chu Zihang naturally knew that what he and Chu Tianjiao stepped into on the elevated road was the Nibelung. It was a world similar to folded space. It seemed that only pure-blooded dragons of more than four generations could create it. It involved A certain kind of special 'word spirit' that only dragons can control. Unexpectedly, Lin Nian's battlefield just now was the Nibelungs. No wonder it took so long.

"The entrance and exit of the Nibelungen is based on the 'mirror' as a medium. I have destroyed it. I don't know if there is any other way to reopen it. I will just wait for the people from the academy to deal with it in detail later, but after all, it will be fine." It's not a particularly big trouble. The third generation of the species is just like that." Lin Nian paused, "Actually, what surprises me even more is that their relationship does not seem to be a forced cooperation based on pure 'slavery'. They had previously There is even a strange emotional connection. When I kill one of them, the mood and state of the other party will fluctuate greatly."

When fighting against a strange and terrifying combination of pure-blood dragons and hybrids, using the word 'killing' to describe the scene was probably only Lin Nian could say it, but in fact it was Hilbert Jean Ang. Re can achieve this effect in person, let alone the 'Emperor' of the Eight Sheqi Family or the third generation of the Uesugi Family as a secret weapon. In the eyes of these peak human hybrids, it seems that they are not very impressive, and adding a dragon rider At most, the hybrid is a dog and a goose that barks fiercely.

"Can pure-blood dragons really coexist with humans?" Chu Zihang's voice was very slow and seemed a little difficult to understand.

He had not seen the scene that Lin Nian saw. It was difficult to imagine a scene where hybrids and dragons cooperated to fight against the enemy. This went against the educational policy of Kassel College.

In all the records and cases of dragon slaying by the secret party, humans and dragons have never had real communication. Just like the alliance and tribe in Blizzard's popular "World of Warcraft", the two sides have different camps. Players have no possibility of communication and just beat each other when they meet, even though there is no real blood feud between them.

In fact, the relationship between humans and dragons is even more "loose" than the harsh conditions in that MMORPG game. Because of the problem with the game mechanism, players from both camps will only be able to chat and type in incomprehensible gibberish, eliminating the possibility of communication.

But in reality, dragons are highly intelligent creatures who are proficient in a large amount of culture and knowledge. The origin of human language may not necessarily have their traces. But even so, the war between humans and dragons is more complicated than the war between different camps in the game. Dozens of times crueler and worse.

It’s not that no mixed race has thought about this and raised these questions. There is always only one answer given by the secret party: it’s not that humans don’t want to communicate with the Dragon Clan, but that the Dragon Clan fundamentally hates the human race and race. The war between them can only end if one side dies. Therefore, humans and dragons can never be reconciled, and they can only strike first - taking the initiative in love and war is a matter of course.

"But it seems that there is an exception this time." Lin Nian guessed what Chu Zihang was thinking and said slowly, "There are still deep secrets about the dragon clan in this world. Don't forget who we are. Brought into this world.”

Chu Zihang paused and understood what Lin Nian meant. They were brought into Kassel Academy by the secret party, and came into contact with the world of dragons under the control of the secret party. In other words, their understanding of the dragons and the war between human hybrids and dragons were all It was instilled by the secret party, just like students in a sealed classroom who were taught everything about the outside world only on the blackboard.

After all, the elites, students, and mixed-race people in Kassel Academy are all reserve forces for a war. Soldiers will always be instilled with their 'justice' by the superstructure that provokes war. As for 'justice' 'Whether they are really so just, what is their mission to throw their lives and blood on the battlefield, at least they cannot tell in the battles and missions one after another, they can only pray that they are indeed loyal to peace and understanding , rather than pure war and destruction

"What do you think?" Chu Zihang asked.

This question may seem ordinary, but it is actually very provocative. It may just be asking Lin Nian's opinion on the existence of the 'Knight' itself, or it may be asking Lin Nian's opinion on the conflict between reality and the secret party's teaching ideas. Chu Zihang did not I made it clear what the question was about and just asked casually: What do you think?

Lin Nian looked up, then stopped and said, "It's none of my business."

The two sentences "none of your business" and "none of my business" can be used to answer almost ninety-nine percent of the world's questions. He really shouldn't say it in the mouth of the destined dragon slayer whom the secret party hoped for, but Chu Zihang didn't feel that this scene was very inconsistent. In his heart, he felt that this was what the other party could say, just as he knew that Lin Nian There is actually no difference between him and Chu Zihang. Did they really enter Kassel Academy for the so-called 'dragon-slaying mission in the hearts of the young girls wearing the school badge under the half-dead world tree'?

If it were Caesar who came into this topic, Chu Zihang might nod in affirmation of this 'so-called', but if Lin Nian's thinking was interrupted, Chu Zihang stopped and stood between the stairs.

He stopped a little later than Lin Nian. He had already stopped when Lin Nian said, "It's none of my business." Because the other person's five senses were much sharper than his, and he heard the sound coming from the bottom of the stairs earlier. In comparison, Chu Zihang seemed to be a little bit behind the scenes, but the battle-ready posture he should have was not delayed for even a moment. Beretta had already pulled out his waist and pointed it downstairs.

While they were talking, they had already reached the ground floor. They could see a few more muddy bloodstains on the stairs and the disgusting broken corpses of thugs. This also meant that they could not go down two more turns. You can leave through the side door of the department store.

But it was at this exit that a man appeared in the blood-red, wearing a black suit like a door-to-door salesman. He was standing there blankly looking up at the two people coming down from above.

"." The moment Chu Zihang saw this person clearly, he noticed the slight bulge on the other person's waist. That was proof that he was hiding a firearm. There can only be one identity of a person wearing a suit and carrying a weapon in this building. , so Beretta's gun was already aimed at the man's shoulder and ready to fire.

At the moment before pulling the trigger, only Lin Nian could block Chu Zihang's extremely fast reaction and action time. He reached out his right hand from behind Chu Zihang, and gently stuck his finger behind the trigger to resist it, preventing Bo Lai from letting go. The tower literally lit up with gunfire.

After stopping Chu Zihang from shooting, he looked down at Tang Wei, who was standing dumbfounded in the corridor for a few seconds, then took out his hand and pressed the muzzle of Beretta's gun before continuing down. Chu Zihang also took another look at Tang Wei, lowered his gun and continued downstairs.

Tang Wei watched Chu Zihang walking past, and Lin Nian walked over again, silent and motionless. Because he didn't dare to move, he finally recognized Lin Nian at this moment, with his blazing red golden eyes. He would never forget the earth-shattering battle at the South Railway Station in his life. At the same time, the other person's face was blurred but his facial features could be clearly seen. It also reminded him that he had met this person earlier, talked a lot with him, and even had the same breakfast.

Lin Nian walked to Tang Wei and stopped. He turned his head and glanced at the trembling man. He just saw the miserable scene of hell on earth in the corridor, and he probably guessed what the scene was upstairs, so he was afraid, Trembling.

Lin Nian knew that this man was not afraid of the fear of death or the threat of life. What he was really afraid of was watching the road to the future collapse and hope disappear.

Tang Wei has been working for the devils on the roof, but he has always been willing to do so. People like Tang Wei will always risk their lives for a little hope. Although what they do is wrong, as long as the person who pays his life for it is If he is right, he will make a mistake to the end, and even if he ends up in hell, he will still be with that person.

But now that even the devil has been killed by Lin Nian, and the place where Tang Wei sold his soul in exchange for hope has disappeared, how can he not collapse and despair.

Lin Nian couldn't help him, so he just paused and passed by Tang Wei.

In fact, you should be prepared for this. Whether you are forced or voluntary, since you know from the beginning that the path you have chosen is wrong, then be prepared for the road to collapse and collapse at any time. If you want to go your own way and take the wrong path, When the road reaches the end, you must be prepared to carry the entire road with your own strength, even if this road eventually leads to hell.

As they walked farther and farther, Lin Nian's hand holding the paper bag tightened silently. The sharp curvature of his fingertips after transforming into a dragon pierced the fragile paper bag. Their backs were getting further and further apart in the dark corridor.

—

Fourteen thousand kilometers across the ocean, the college headquarters, the control room. Schneider, Manstein and Guderian looked at the iPhone 5 on the table with red eyes. It was Manstein's phone. The screen was turned off, reflecting the three people who were twitching due to high nervousness after staying up all night. s face.

In the silence and dead silence, Manstein suddenly reached out his hand to the lighted mobile phone and clicked on the record of 99+ consecutive undialed calls in the communication records. The transoceanic call was dialed quickly. After a few seconds, " The phone you dialed has been turned off." A prompt sounds.

"Norma," Schneider said.

"Professor von Schneider." Norma's intellectual artificial intelligence female voice sounded in the central control room.

"Debrief the situation."

"It is temporarily unable to establish contact with the action team, and the contact is being established."

"Continue to search for their whereabouts and investigate all local surveillance videos to find their traces."

After Schneider gave the order, he looked at Manstein again. The call he made again could not be connected. They had done this process hundreds of times. In other words, the three professors stood in front of the mobile phone and made hundreds of calls in succession. phone, but never successfully contacted the other party.

"I have a bad feeling," Manstein said hoarsely.

"If your premonition is that I will die suddenly within the next half hour, then your premonition should be right." Guderian said dryly. His voice is now as hoarse as Schneider's. It is a fatal thing for an old man to stay up late. Even if he is a mixed race, it will cost at least half his life.

"We haven't been able to contact them for fifteen hours." Schneider looked at Manstein who hung up the phone.

"I know," Manstein hissed.

"For fifteen hours, Manstein, no effective contact could be established."

"I know."

"It's not interference, but they refused to establish an information channel with us and refused to communicate with the headquarters."

"I know!"

"Perhaps we should truthfully report that the Chinese specialist team has lost contact."

"No! I said, I know, wait a minute!" Manstein suddenly turned his head and stared at Schneider.

"Manstein, you should know that this is not a simple disconnection. You have to admit that Lin Nian suddenly cut off all contact with the college fifteen hours ago. Even Norma's "Commissioner Protection Regulations" They all blocked the surveillance in one go and violently rejected the information bridge that the college tried to rebuild. This is a very serious matter. According to the regulations of the Executive Department Manual, they can be judged to be out of control." Schneider did not Feeling angry because of Manstein's tone, he instead lowered his voice and expressed his views calmly and forcefully. His iron-gray eyes reflected the restless face of the bald old man.

Fifteen hours ago, Lin Nian's team, which was conducting an 'SS'-level mission, unilaterally cut off communications with the headquarters. All methods were blocked by the specialist team on the other side of the ocean, and they even actively avoided Norma's search.

Refusing to contact the headquarters and acting without authorization before the mission is over. In this case, the word 'out of control' is actually used very carefully, because the word 'defection' is not extreme and no one would want to use it in an 'S' class. Among the students, not to mention the unprecedented two 'S' classes and one 'A' class that have lost contact this time!

"Wait a minute!" Manstein's tone was a little irritable, probably due to staying up too late and being emotionally disturbed. His current state can be described as extreme, "I know him! He can't do something that betrays the academy without reason. ! Something must have happened over there that forced him to decide to temporarily cut off contact with us!"

"But it's also a kind of thing."

Just when Schneider was about to say something, suddenly Manstein's cell phone rang on the table. The expressions of the three of them changed and their bodies shook. Manstein quickly picked up the phone and glanced at the screen. He found that the caller was not the number he had dialed hundreds of times, but an unfamiliar transoceanic number, but the area code did belong to that coastal city.

He quickly picked up the phone and put it to his ear. However, after the other party said a few words, the blood-filled face changed drastically. After several quick and short conversations, the phone was hung up.

Putting down his cell phone, Manstein looked up at Schneider and Guderian with a strange and terrifying expression.

"Who's on the other side? Lin Nian?" Schneider stared at Manstein.

"No, the caller is the person in charge of the safe harbor of our college in that coastal city in China."

"The person in charge of Safe Harbor? Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei have contacted Safe Harbor? They are in trouble." Guderian asked quickly. The only reason why he would stay up late here with the other two people instead of wearing a nightcap and drooling was that one of the missing commissioners this time was his precious student Lu Mingfei, and he was as worried as the two. How much lighter a person is.

"The unsafe harbor was activated fifteen hours ago, half an hour after we last contacted Lin Nian." Manstein actually sat down and said slowly, "The person who activated the safe harbor They are 'A'-level student Su Xiaoqiang and in-service teacher Lin Xian from the Psychology Department."

"Su Xiaoqiang and Lin Xian?" Guderian was stunned. He thought that these two people had lost contact with Lin Nian's team. How could they appear in the safe harbor?

".It's because the order we gave Norma was to contact the specialist team. Su Xiaoqiang and Lin Xian were not in the list of the specialist team, so there was a blind spot for Norma's key search targets to contact Lin Xian." Schneider reacted suddenly, and then quickly did To make decisions, "As long as you contact her, you can contact Lin Nian."

"Oh. Yes, it must be Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei who made the decision to let Su Xiaoqiang and Lin Xian go to Safe Harbor. They had contact with the people in Safe Harbor. The people in Safe Harbor are also our people, so this should not be considered a loss. Alliance!" Guderian's head turned quickly, and he quickly found an excuse to exonerate the student from the accusation.

"You should contact Su Xiaoqiang." Manstein whispered.

"Fortunately, you are still Lin Nian's mentor. I know that contacting his sister is more effective than contacting his girlfriend. Of course, contact Lin Xian!" Guderian looked at Manstein with wide eyes as if he had seen some kind of Godzilla. , but he didn't notice that Schneider's expression instantly hardened, which was quite ugly.

Manstein looked at Schneider's reaction and nodded slowly and hard. He took a deep breath as if he was fully prepared to announce the bad news, then exhaled a long breath and said the terrible news, "Binhai The city safe harbor said that Lin Xian lost contact and she 'spontaneously' disappeared and ran away!"

At this moment, everyone's face showed sluggishness and confusion after hearing the news.
