Chapter 345 336. Long Yuan (2) Old Friend

"I'm going out for a walk. You stay here and keep an eye on the construction progress." Lu Mingfei put on a peaked cap and pulled down the brim, holding an unlit cigarette. Chaozheng and Masahiko Sakurai stood under a huge black umbrella. Kristina waved while chatting, and Kristina made an OK gesture.

So he put on a coat provided by the institute.

This clothes is somewhat similar to the military coats that uncles working in factories in the family compound of the last century loved to wear. Although it is not so fashionable, the thermal insulation effect is really first-class, even in the forest where the mountain wind is howling. It won't lose temperature either.

Originally, President Lu could be regarded as a beast with a human face and a beast heart. When he was taken out for a walk, he was a man who could be called the flower of Kassel College along with the likes of Caesar and Chu Zihang. But now he has a temperament that he has only developed after years of wearing a military coat. He immediately collapsed a lot, and the disguise technique turned him into a square-faced man with an unattractive appearance. He looked very much like those old farmers in northern Shaanxi who like to hang out in the village entrances and alleys.

It was so close to Hongjing that Lu Mingfei could see the part of the magnificent underground building protruding from the surface just by looking up.

He felt that he should really go in and take a look. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he felt panicked, as if there was a thorn in his heart.

Snowflakes piled up on his shoulders and head. The guy lowered his head and lit the cigarette, took a deep breath and then rushed into the blizzard.

——

Chu Zihang silently tapped his chest. He could feel his heart still beating powerfully in his chest.

The top-secret "Hundred-Headed Dragon Ladon Project" has been used on him. It is not an experiment using alchemy and genetics to transform the human body, but an ancient ritual.

There are hundreds of thousands or millions of hybrids in the world, among which A-level hybrids are not really rare among the huge number. What are truly rare are those born with S-levels like Lu Mingfei.

But even so, the S-class is not traceable. In the past few decades, from the Cape of Good Hope to the Korean Peninsula, dozens of outstanding S-classes have appeared throughout Asia, Africa and Europe, and most of these people have become dragon slayers. Some of the vanguards are hidden by their families, and some are included in the executive department's gray list to perform top-secret missions.

But in fact, S-class is not the rarest type of hybrid.

What is truly rare, even legendary, is the bilingual spirit.

The so-called words and spirits are actually holy words recited in dragon script. These words can directly command the world to complete a certain task, such as a program that has already been programmed on a computer.

A hybrid can only use one program. This is a restriction set by the ancient emperor for his slaves. It can also be called a genetic lock to ensure his rule.

However, genes always mutate during reproduction. Over the long years, the DNA double helix structure of some hybrids has broken through the genetic lock cast by the Black King himself, turning them into aliens with the ability to possess two-spoken spirits.

Such aliens do exist in history. For example, in the chronicles of the Eastern Dragon Clan, there is a super hybrid named Yi, also known as Dayi, who killed nine pure-blooded dragons with bows and arrows in ancient times.

"Huainanzi·Benjingxun" says that Dayi shot the sun, "When Yao was caught, he went out ten days later, scorching crops, killing vegetation, and leaving the people with nothing to eat. Fish, chisel teeth, nine infants, strong winds, The seals and snake cultivators were both harmful to the people. Yao ordered Yi to kill the nine infants in the fields of Chou Hua, and to kill the nine infants in the ferocious water. They were forced to fight the strong winds in the Qingqiu swamps, and shot them down for ten days to kill them. He cut off the snake in the cave and captured Xi in the mulberry forest. All the people were happy and made Yao the emperor."

The "Book of Mountains and Seas: Autumn Water" written by Cheng Xuanying of the Tang Dynasty quoted the "Book of Mountains and Seas" sparingly: "Yi shot for nine days and fell into Wojiao."

Today, Chinese dragon research experts have deduced through various documents, alchemical vessels from ancient times, and the corpses of princes who were buried in Shandong after being killed by Yi. They believe that Yi's spirit should be the "Holy Judge" and the "Black Sun". ".

The Holy Inquisitor asked Dayi to use his alchemy bow to shoot down the giant cholera dragon in the sky. The dragon and Dayi fought in the fertile plains. Then the ancient dragon slayer used the black sun to kill nine princes and earls on the earth. , the extreme high temperature and the power of destroying everything turned the land into scorched black, so it "turned into scorched soil".

This is already an extremely ancient legend. From the fifteenth century to the present, there has never been a super hybrid with a two-tongue spirit in the world, at least not in the records of the academy.

The reason why the blood descendants of the Dragon Clan are truly superior to other species has never been their strong bodies, but the power of the Spirit of Words that transcends rules and transcends everything.

The academy has been pursuing the pursuit of pushing this power to the limit, such as the ancient alchemy matrix of the Night Watch that can expand the field and effect of word spirits.

The so-called "Ladon Project" is actually an evil ritual that uses an alchemical matrix to connect one person's spirit with another person's spirit, but there is an absolute primary and secondary relationship.

After Chu Zihang accepted this plan, he could activate the alchemical matrix when necessary, and then the frozen Japanese in the iron coffin would wake up from his slumber.

The blood of the person being sacrificed will begin to burn, his golden eyes will be ignited from the silence, and the spirit of words will be recited in the most high-pitched and life-exhausting way.

Then the alchemical matrix of the night watchman will transfer this power to another alchemical matrix imprinted in Chu Zihang's bones and blood. All the dragon characters of time zero recited by Fujiwara Nobunosuke with his life will appear in Chu Zihang's mind. He doesn't need to pay anything, just follow the recitation, and the field of time zero will be used by him.

But this power is really disgusting. Chu Zihang feels like Hannibal, the man-eating maniac, eating Fujiwara Nobunosuke who was imprisoned in the iron coffin and could not resist, and thus gain the power of that person...

"Zero has been disconnected from our connection channel. What happened?" Caesar frowned and whispered. He put down the crystal white crab legs in his hand, and his ice-blue eyes suddenly looked at the Trieste, which had been put into the sea for a depth test and then hoisted up again, and his voice became serious.

That junior Russian girl always likes to run around, but this is above the Japanese Trench. Under their oil tankers is eight kilometers of deep sea water, and the zombie army of the Age of Gods may still be sleeping on the seabed!

Chu Zihang came back to his senses, he slowly exhaled, and threw away those weird thoughts in his mind.

According to the principal, Fujiwara Nobuyuki is an elite cultivated by the Gattuso family and controlled by Mr. Frost.

But in fact, Ange knows Frost. Although this guy has criticized Ange openly and secretly, he is definitely not a madman who would send assassins to attack Sleipnir directly at Haneda Airport.

Let alone whether such an assassination can succeed, the trouble that Fujiwara Nobuyuki will bring to the Gattuso family after being exposed is enough to keep Frost busy.

In other words, this guy may actually be controlled by a big man in the dark, and that big man can even place spies in an organization like the Gattuso family with strict class and rich wealth.

Since he wants to assassinate Ange, then this guy must stand on the opposite side of the academy.

Ange hopes that Chu Zihang will not be entangled in whether he has drawn the blood of an innocent person when using the word spirit of time zero.

Because there are no innocents in this war.

"Zero. Razumovskaya. Romanova, a sophomore at Kassel College, was originally scheduled to participate in Operation Abyss on November 16, 2010, and was assigned to the Maritime Special Operations Team." The blue-haired girl appeared beside the fire, her skirt slightly lifted, her long hair curled like seaweed with delicate curls at the ends, her chin was small and pointed, her eyebrows raised, and her eyes flashed with bright, human light.

"127 minutes ago, Commissioner Zero. Romanova temporarily changed her schedule and went to Yamanashi Prefecture to carry out an infiltration mission." EVA said with a smile,

"One of our school directors made the decision to transfer the lovely Miss Zero from Operation Abyss to the True Red Earth mission."

Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other, and both saw shock in each other's eyes.

Generally speaking, a single board of directors cannot directly intervene in the operation of the academy and the ongoing military operations. Even if the Gattuso family wants to terminate an action that may threaten Caesar, they must first convene a board of directors, obtain the support of the majority, and then summon the principal, vice principal and executive director, and they will transfer Caesar back to the academy from the edge of danger.

But the mysterious school director did not seem to go through these procedures.

"Am I qualified to know who that school director is with my authority?" Caesar asked.

He did not really think that this mission could not be carried out without Zero. After all, no matter how outstanding the Russian girl was, she was only A-level. Today, there were so many heroes here that it was not an exaggeration to say that there were so many A-level people.

It was just that Caesar was very curious about which big man made such a seemingly meaningless decision, and which school director could do something that even the Gattuso family could hardly do openly.

"Sorry, that school director does not want others to know his identity." EVA smiled and declined Caesar.

Compared to her casual and even unrestrained behavior in front of Lu Mingfei, Senior EVA can still maintain the image of a cool artificial intelligence in front of other people.

"Actually, I think Zero is interested in Lu Mingfei." In order to make it easier to deal with the roasted lamb leg sent to her, Su Si gathered her long hair on top of her head with one hand, revealing her slender and white neck.

Her eyes were slightly raised, her long eyebrows were also slightly raised, and she looked at Chu Zihang and blinked.

"In the academy, it seems that no one wants to get close to Zero. Even girls who want to get close to her will be rejected. Many people call her the Queen of Vacuum." The gossip fire that suddenly burned in Su Si's heart was so hot that Chu Zihang, who seemed absent-minded, was actually listening with his ears erect for fear that he would miss a word.

"Teacher Masashi Toyama told me that she has a serious mental cleanliness." Caesar shrugged, "This is normal. I used to have it, but my cleanliness is only for men."

How can the noble son of the Gattuso family refuse the affectionate embrace of any woman?

When a girl gathers up the courage to show up in front of you with flowers in her hands and a shy face, Caesar Gattuso should take her into his arms, invite her to a luxurious banquet, and give her a Cartier necklace.

Even if the girl is actually a dinosaur girl, you can only accept it with pleasure.

"But have you seen the posts about Ling and Lu Mingfei on the Night Watch forum? Some people see them foraging together late at night in the cafeteria almost every day." Susie was eating lamb legs while excitedly sharing gossip between girls with Master Gattuso and her killer boyfriend, although she thought Chu Zihang should not be interested in such things at all.

"You mentioned the word foraging, which reminds me of an owl..." Caesar said.

"Or a weasel." Chu Zihang drank expressionlessly, with a piece of tuna that he had not finished eating in front of him.

Susie was stunned, not knowing why she couldn't keep up with the brain circuits of these two people.

"I mean, Lu Mingfei is the only one who is treated specially by Ling." She suddenly grabbed Chu Zihang's left hand and held it in her arms like a little girl, "Don't you know what it means for a girl to treat someone more specially than others?"

Caesar showed a look of understanding on his face, but Chu Zihang's fingers trembled slightly and his expression became serious.

The president was about to speak up and suddenly shut up.

Deafening whistles suddenly blew from three tankers at the same time, the deck vibrated slightly, and everyone in the wind and snow stopped in shock and looked around.

But the executive department is worthy of being the executive department. Although the killers were shocked, they tightened their weapons at the first time.

"Bad news, gentlemen." EVA, who had just disappeared, suddenly appeared again. This time, the blue girl showed a solemn face, and inexplicably had some military temperament.

Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other and stood up at the same time.

"The mission has been advanced. You still have 80 minutes to prepare for the dive." EVA said, "I know you have all written your suicide notes, so you can talk to your most important people next, or enjoy the breakfast in front of you, but I don't recommend you to eat it freely."

"Why?" Susie tilted her head and looked curiously at the artificial intelligence that was said to be a real soul.

"Because there is no toilet on the Trieste, if you have diarrhea, you can only solve it on the spot." EVA showed a playful expression, "In addition, I have to remind you that the equipment department has not installed... air purification equipment on this submersible."

Caesar's face darkened.

Chu Zihang's face turned pale.

The two of them obviously remembered something at the same time. They had just stuffed roast lamb and blue lobster sashimi into their stomachs, as well as a super large portion of tuna.

"What happened?" Caesar asked coldly.

He was now considering inducing vomiting.

"I have no right to tell you any details. Someone will communicate with you next." EVA refused very straightforwardly.

Caesar looked embarrassed. It was obvious that Master Gattuso was not good at "being rejected".

Having said that, Caesar really hated the class system of the academy... to the core.

People like him were born to be proud to stand on the top of the world and overlook everything. At any stage of Caesar's growth, he should be the most important and the best one. In fact, until the day Lu Mingfei entered Kassel College, Caesar's life was just as he wished.

Even in Kassel College, where elites gathered and dragons gathered everywhere, his class was A-level, which could stand out from the crowd. Although he sometimes didn't want to admit it, the family behind him who occupied the school board seat also made Caesar feel like a fish in water in the college.

But since Lu Mingfei joined the college system, Caesar felt that his life began to become disillusioned.

First, he lost the day of freedom representing honor in the case of joining forces with the Lionheart Society, and then it was no surprise that he saw the former high-ranking flower little witch Nono actively pursue Lu Mingfei. Later, he was hit hard from many directions countless times.

In the end, when the authority is open to oneself, it is a very cool tool for pretending to be cool, but once he is blocked outside the door, it is a damn class barrier.

At the same time when EVA disappeared again, the hissing sound of electricity came from Caesar and Chu Zihang's headphones.

The technical team is testing the communication channel. The Trieste, the North American headquarters, the principal's Sleipnir, and the three modified tankers that are currently serving as temporary water battle platforms will all be assigned to different encrypted channels.

Given that the academy does not want a passing fisherman to accidentally hear someone shouting "hurry up and throw a nuclear bomb into the trench" on the radio, it is obviously necessary to encrypt the communication channel.

At the same time, this is also a signal that the mission is about to begin. Susie is trying to swallow the fragrant roasted lamb leg while she still has time, while Caesar and Chu Zihang subconsciously touch their weapons.

Caesar still brought his Desert Eagle and the hunting knife named Dick Tudo.

The reason for bringing a gun is that Frost is rich and powerful, and he did not even investigate where the two bullets made from the Philosopher's Stone went. It was only after learning that Caesar did not have this thing that he immediately applied to the elders for the third and fourth Philosopher's Stone bullets code-named "Burning Blood".

These warheads are filled with impure impurities, which are composed of the fire element in Norton's keel.

Even eight kilometers underwater, the majesty of the King of Bronze and Fire can still be asserted. If he really encounters an awakened god, Norton's residual power will make him regret being born in this world.

Chu Zihang, as always, only brought his Murasame.

Both of them pressed the wireless earbuds in their right ears. At this time, the wind direction on the sea suddenly changed. The snow that had been falling straight down now hit their faces like arrows being thrown from a distance.

The flame that rose after the charcoal burned in the stove flickered on and off, as if it would go out at any time.

Su Qian shuddered slightly, wrapped herself tightly in her coat, and then quietly hid behind Chu Zihang

"How are my Student Council President and Lionheart President?"

Ange's cheerful voice sounded from the other end of the earbud, "I am currently hovering over Tokyo Bay and can appear in the airspace of the Sea of ​​Japan at any time."

"Principal, are you still on Sleipnir?" Caesar hesitated and asked.

"This is my Air Force Two. The war has begun. Of course, leaders must always be on guard against being assassinated." Angers said.

Caesar and Chu Zihang were both silent for a while.

"I'm kidding, if there really is a war, I won't watch my students go to the battlefield alone." Angers' tone gradually became calmer.

Caesar complimented: "I knew you were not that kind of person, principal."

"It looks so boring. The vice principal will ask me to buy a few cases of beer and some fried chicken." The principal said.

"Principal, have you noticed that you and Lu Mingfei look a bit alike?" Chu Zihang said.

"Really?" Angers expressed his shock.

"Actually, I feel more like Fingel..." Caesar commented.

"Okay, okay, I'm really just kidding. When the war comes, of course you young people will run for your lives. Old guys like me will stay and fight. Only young people have hope, young people have vitality, and only young people have revenge. The motivation..." Angers sighed with emotion,

"I want to tell you that Operation Jiyuan is about to begin. We have to advance the plan because the commissioner of the Executive Department on the Long Island mission discovered that the power of the Snake Qihachi family is also at work within the US military stationed in Japan. This area The waterway management in the sea area is too bizarre and will be noticed by those people soon. In addition, we have mobilized an entire helicopter squadron to conduct military exercises here. If the headquarters of the Japanese Army really gets the news and discovers the anomaly, it will not Will sit back and ignore it.”

"My dad has some friends working in the Pentagon. Maybe we can bribe people in the headquarters." Caesar made constructive suggestions that even class enemies would find difficult to imagine.

There was apparently a few seconds of silence on the other side of the radio.

"Your father's network of connections is really amazing..." Angers said, "But let's not do it for now. I will use this favor later when I want to borrow an aircraft carrier formation."

"I want to tell you, don't act out of impulse, and put your own life first at all times." Angers said, "This is an era where even God cannot turn the tide."

Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other, both of them looking serious.

"I'm thinking, is there really a god who is awakening hidden in this sea? He is just waiting silently for hatching. The first thing he does after hatching is to destroy the world..." Caesar said quietly, looking up at the gray-white In the sky, the sea of ​​clouds connected with the ocean, like a gray line. The grand sense of mission that hit his face made Caesar feel that his blood was boiling.

"Are you thinking about this too?" he asked.

"No, I just want to go to the toilet so that I don't have to deal with it in the cabin later." Chu Zihang said.

——

The engineering elevator roared down, and it was pitch black below the wellhead. In the darkness, only crimson lines of artificial light sources flickered. Through the dim light, Mingfei could see the snow falling straight down.

Just now, he was squatting outside the elevator, with snow piled on his shoulders, frowning fiercely, finishing one cigarette and then refilling another, until finally the cigarette box was full. When it was empty, I finally mustered up the courage to step into the elevator I had once stepped on.

For many years, Lu Mingfei even thought that he would never come back here again.

Red well, red well.

The place that left him with nightmares and where fate completely broke his spine.

Countless times he had stood at the mouth of the well in his dreams, watching everything happen. Even though he later had such powerful power, he was still timid and cowardly.

He is still afraid of the past happening again.

As the elevator went down, Lu Mingfei slowly looked up. He saw a white wave falling from the well mouth, as if it was sealed by ice and snow.

"Senior sister, are you listening?" he asked.

A few seconds later, Nono's voice rang, "I'm here," she said.

"I'm back in Hongjing." Lu Mingfei's voice was very soft. He squatted down and curled up, as if he had curled up next to the pale and withered corpse many years ago.

Lu Mingfei quietly watched the well wall rise in front of him. He neither expressed sadness nor anger, but was so quiet that he let the ice and snow fall on his head and body. The melted snow was so cold that His bones were shaking.

Nuonuo's breathing stagnated slightly, and she sighed slowly. The great fatigue and weakness pulled her into the abyss just like when she faced Odin again last year.

The only thing left in the communication is the girl's breath, distant and deep.

Like the wind.

It's like...a distant tragedy.

"Don't blame your old self anymore, junior brother." Nuonuo said. She and Lu Mingfei were separated by the wind and snow. One was huddled in the corner of the helicopter in the gray-white clouds, and the other was huddled in the descending project of the deep water storage well. In the elevator, they didn't face each other, but made similar actions.

“He was standing alone in the fog, and he was very confused…” Nono said.
