Chapter 244 Flanders Senses the Danger
Old Owl Flanders was in the office. He used to be shrewd and cunning, but now he looked depressed. His eyes lost focus, his mouth drooped with a trace of helplessness, his fingers clenched into fists, tightly holding a letter.
The story started many days ago. Because of the active performance of Teacher Zhao Wuji, Shrek Academy successfully obtained life-saving rations. Unfortunately, misfortunes are like blessings, and blessings are like misfortunes. What Old Zhao brought back to the academy was not only rations, but also the troubles that followed.
Since finding the top-secret letter in the grain pile, Flanders has not slept well all night. He naturally knows what this information means.
Whether it was the overwhelming publicity of the Royal Fight against Shrek before the game, or the disappearance of gold coins in the huge lottery pool after the game, or the subsequent food shortage, the mysterious forces bought food in large quantities, everything flashed through Flanders' mind, strung together, all strung together!
Flanders, who figured out everything in an instant, finally felt not the pleasure of seeing the truth, but the chill from the bone marrow. Such a large-scale plan, the operation of so many resources, and the wide scope of this incident were not something that a small academy like Shrek could get involved in.
Shrek had been involved in a huge conspiracy involving many forces from the two empires of the entire continent.
At that moment, Flanders thought of running away, a shameful but useful method, but could he really run away? As a powerful soul master, he could go anywhere in the vast continent, but what about the other faculty and students? Could he abandon them?
Flanders had suffered from the lack of information before, so naturally, he paid attention to the information from all over the continent when he could. Thanks to the convenient bracelet, he could easily get information from a reliable channel remotely.
He had heard about the big news that had happened recently, the food shortage that spread to the entire south, and the support from the Xingluo Empire that was withdrawn for no reason. Everywhere he looked was not a good place to stay.
The south has fallen into chaos and famine. The Xingluo Empire does not know what happened inside, and other neutral forces have not shown any willingness to help the Tiandou Empire. The situation on the continent is confusing at this time.
Although Shrek Academy does not keep idle people, everyone in it is good at soul skills and hard work, but the food consumed by these dozens of mouths a day is not a small number. Even if the space soul guide is used, how long can it last?
Thinking of these, the shrewd Flanders is at a loss. He is now in a state of confusion. He can only take one step at a time and passively wait for the opportunity that may come.
But as time goes by, Flanders becomes more and more anxious. His survival instinct that has saved him countless times in times of crisis has been telling him that danger is approaching these days.
On the other side, deep in the dark sewers of Soto City, the sound of running water and the dripping sound of water dripping from the brick pipe wall onto the sewage constitute the tone here, but if you listen carefully, you can also hear the faint sound of metal sliding and friction.
At that time, Rhodes was browsing the intelligence information on the continent in a hidden base. As destroyers in the dark, they could not enjoy the convenience of soul guides blatantly, and could only use the most primitive and safest way, filing cabinets and paper files.
Under the unique pale light of the West Sea Silver Shark Lamp Oil on the ceiling, the archive room exuded a gloomy atmosphere.
There were scattered documents on the table here, and an oil lamp that also emitted pale flames. A map of the continent and some notes with important information were hung on the wall. In addition, Rhodes muttered to himself while flipping through the files, which made this place even more weird.
"Ahsis Eddie, Fiery Lion Spirit, no; next, Qi Chengyi, weapon spirit, bone-piercing ghost claw, known soul skill. Ha, another one that has nothing to do with gravity, next..." Rhodes carefully looked at the text and pictures on each file with a magnifying glass, looking for the person who made him miss him.
The huge filing cabinets on Ross's left were pulled open one by one, and the files were cluttered in the metal cabinets. Those paper files were treated roughly, some were torn by huge force, and some were thrown on the ground. The miserable situation showed that Ross's inner rage at this time was reflected.
For a whole night, this promoter who participated in stirring up the situation of the entire continent was struggling with these files, but until now, he still didn't get the answer he wanted.
He had gone through all the files about Soul Saints and other high-level soul masters, but he didn't find any clues about the mysterious person who could control gravity. He even doubted whether that person really existed.
"The last file, Livia, plant martial spirit!? Damn, this is impossible!" Ross punched the filing cabinet fiercely, and the solid and heavy metal filing cabinet sprayed out a lot of paper pieces under his violent bombardment, flying like snowflakes.
The subconscious heavy blow tore the cuffs of his luxurious clothes, but he didn't feel it at all, and only felt that the anger in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.
Rhodes fell into deep self-doubt. The pressure from that person and the pressure of burying his head in the documents all night seemed to have finally broken down his rational defenses. He began to talk nonsense, repeating his thoughts and reasoning over and over again.
"There is absolutely no problem with my thinking. There must be something missing in the information. There must be nothing wrong with my thinking. Impossible, impossible..." He drew meaningless symbols on the table with his fingers, as if looking for a breakthrough.
"Wait! All the archives come from the relevant information of the Spirit Hall, as well as the records of the Fighting Spirit Arena and various official records. Then there is another possibility that this person is not on any source of information at all." Ross suddenly stopped the movement of his fingers, raised his head, and a glimmer of inspiration flashed in his eyes.
Ross cast his eyes to the corner, an inconspicuous wooden cabinet. There were a stack of pictures printed on various papers randomly placed there. These were wanted orders issued by various forces.
The top one was naturally Tang Hao, who had made big news. Ross quickly opened the wanted order, looking for the person who could control gravity.
"There are only three possibilities for people who are not in the official records. First, a madman who can still kill after entering the Killing City. Second, people from outside the domain, such as those sea soul masters from overseas. Third, those criminals who are wanted. Their files are not managed by the normal file system."
Roz used logic to analyze each possibility and ruled them out one by one.
"There are no traces of killing fields at the scene. The first one is ruled out. This happened deep inland. It is impossible for a sea soul master to leave the ocean so far away to kill for no reason. Then there is only one conclusion, that person must be a daring wanted criminal."
Roz walked to the wooden cabinet and began to look through them one by one. The wanted posters were not thick. After all, there are very few hard-core ruthless people who can still be at large under the wanted by major forces. Soon, Roz made a new discovery.
"Ha, Acala, Mighty King Kong Bear, I caught you!" Roz shouted excitedly. He held a wanted poster in his hand, on which was a man with a burly figure, a ferocious face, and a terrifying scar. It was Zhao Wuji!
