"Well, everyone has done a great job. Then, I would like to ask everyone to work with Abydos to repel the enemy."
Hearing Kayoko's gentle voice, Zhang Xinyuan smiled slightly and commanded them to fight with Abydos, but the next second he heard the mocking voice of Chairman Caesar.
"Humph~ It's just my old dog and a cowardly person. Do you think you can defeat us? What a joke!"
"...Speaking of which, maybe you misunderstood?"
After a moment of silence, a cold voice came from the intercom.
"I have never considered you as an opponent worthy of attacking you. Or, who are you? You are just a rat in the sewer who uses some tricks to deceive my students. Do you want me to take action based on your power?"
"Wha, what!"
Hearing such arrogant words, the red light in Chairman Caesar's eyes suddenly brightened. Looking at the constant flickering in the red light, anyone could tell that the other party was angry.
"Ahaha! The teacher is right! Besides, who said I was your dog? After all, I never took a penny from you. Compared to you, it's best to cooperate with the teacher!"
Alu raised her weapon, pointed both hands at the panicked chairman in front of her, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a familiar confident smile.
"Let's start our battle!"
"Shirako-senpai, Nomiya-senpai."
Serika looked at both parties, and the latter nodded as well.
"Well, the teacher and the people at the convenience store are right. We can't continue to be confused."
"That's right! The first thing is to get Senior Hoshino back! No matter what unrecognized facts or what organization there is, it has nothing to do with me! Now I just want to meet Senior Hoshino as soon as possible! And then give her a good lecture!"
"That's right..."
Nomiya picked up his weapon and stood on the same front as the people from the convenience house, and couldn't help but reveal a familiar smile.
"Well then, Abydos members, let's join the battle~ Our goal is to bring back Senior Hoshino!"
"boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce gun battle between the two sides broke out.
...
"Huh~ It looks like nothing serious. The chairman should be preparing to retreat soon."
At this moment, standing 5 kilometers away from the battlefield, Zhang Xinyuan was looking at the situation over there with binoculars. Although he was highly confident in the combat capabilities of his students, as someone who loved his students the most, Zhang Xinyuan still needed to take a look at the situation.
"Huh~ Although I just stopped time and beat up the chairman, I didn't expect that my whole body is really made of iron. It's really hard."
Looking at his red hands, Zhang Xinyuan shook his head with a wry smile and put down the binoculars in his hand.
"Well, now comes the key point..."
Looking at the contact number on the phone, Zhang Xinyuan gently dialed it, and then a mysterious yet rational voice came from the phone.
"Hoho~ You finally answered the call, Xia Lai's teacher."
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Xinyuan was silent for a while, and then said in a cold voice: "Where is Xingye?"
"Hoho~ Don't be nervous, Xia Lai's teacher. If you want to discuss in detail, please come to the office at the top of Caesar Group. I am waiting for your arrival."
After he finished speaking, there was a beep from the phone. Zhang Xinyuan looked at the phone that had been hung up and frowned.
"Why does this voice sound so familiar?"
...
At night, after arranging for everyone to go back and rest, Zhang Xinyuan went to the destination alone. Watching the elevator going up one floor after another, Zhang Xinyuan clenched his hands.
"Ding~"
Along with the sound of the elevator arriving, the elevator door slowly opened, and a dim room came into view. A dark figure was standing quietly in front of him. After seeing Zhang Xinyuan coming, the dark figure walked forward. Under Zhang Xinyuan's gaze, a well-dressed man in a suit bowed to him as a gentleman.
"I've been waiting for a long time, teacher."
A familiar voice, a familiar broken face, and the mysterious black flames lingering above his head. Zhang Xinyuan suddenly recalled the man he had met once when he went to find Alu and the others.
"It turned out to be you? Could it be that Lu and the others were attacked that day..."
"Yes, the plan is underway... huh?"
In a trance, Heifu saw the teacher who was clearly following him for several meters suddenly come to him, and a drop of sweat appeared under his cold appearance. Heifu suddenly became excited.
"Ah! That's right, such a wonderful ability! Sure enough, I was right that day, teacher, you also have abilities that ordinary people can't have! Is it given to you by that thing! Or do you have it yourself? Or who gave it to you! Ah~ Sure enough, after interacting with you, teacher, I feel the true meaning of the world!"
"...You're not going to say that?"
Zhang Xinyuan was stunned for a while, then silently took out the bank card in his hand. When the latter saw it, the burning gaze was also nakedly displayed in front of him.
"Ah! That legendary adult's card! According to legend, only a foreign teacher who suddenly appeared can possess that mysterious power... uh."
Seeing Zhang Xinyuan's increasingly unfriendly expression, Heifu recovered and regained his usual composure, then made a "please" gesture to the right.
"I'm sorry, I was rude. Please forgive my stupid behavior just now. Then, let's start talking, master of the 'Shiting Box'."
Chapter 97: War between Adults
What on earth is on this guy? Why does it feel like a burning pain when I touch his neck? And it's as if he knew I was going to grab him like this...
In the conference room, Zhang Xinyuan sat in his seat, looking at the other person indifferently, but his little hands trembling under the table made a drop of cold sweat on Zhang Xinyuan's forehead.
"Hoho~ Then I'll get straight to the point. I know your story. You are an incredible person invited by the president of the Federation Student Union. You are the teacher who possesses the lost item 'Shiting Box', and the teacher of 'Xia Lai' of the Federation Investigation Department."
Heifu leisurely handed the hot cup of coffee to Zhang Xinyuan, and continued with a cheerful voice: "First of all, we have no intention of being hostile to you. It is better to say that I want to cooperate with you. After my careful calculations, if you join our plan, you will definitely become our biggest helper in the subsequent experiments, but on the contrary, you will be our biggest obstacle."
"So, who are you when you say 'we'?"
Zhang Xin did not take the coffee from his hand, but continued to question with a calm look.
"Oh~ I almost forgot to introduce myself~ As you can see, we are foreigners from outside Kivotos just like you... However, we are not people of the same identity as you. If you need to give us a name, then call us 'Numerology'. And my real name is Heifu."
"Number of secret techniques, black clothes..."
While muttering the two names, Zhang Xinyuan's expression changed from calm to serious, and his tone also had a hint of questioning.
"Then, Heifu, please tell me where is Hoshino!"
"Hoho~ Please don't be anxious, teacher. We are the same 'incredible existence' as you. Will you cooperate with us?"
"Don't even think about it. There's no way I'll cooperate with you."
Seeing the other party mentioning Xingye's place, Zhang Xinyuan simply refused.
"Hoho~ If you accept our invitation, the truth will be at your fingertips. What exactly are you pursuing in Kivotos?"
"Truth? I just want my students back now. If you don't tell me, I can still find it."
Seeing that he was still thinking about continuing to talk nonsense, Zhang Xinyuan planned to use time stop to turn the entire Caesar Building upside down, or at worst just tie up the chairman of the Caesar Group and torture him. However, this guy seemed to have discovered that I had some special abilities, but he was still not sure what they were, so he should have just set up a protection mechanism on my body to prevent myself from taking action.
"Hoho~ Teacher, don't be anxious. From another perspective, aren't you a teacher? Didn't you read the letter of resignation from Hoshino Kotori? If you want to speak in the capacity of a teacher, then Hoshino Kotori is no longer a student of Abydos, you know?"
"Is this what you are talking about?"
Zhang Xinyuan directly took out Xingye's letter of dismissal from his pocket, then pointed his thumb at a certain place and responded with a faint smile: "According to federal law, if a student needs to withdraw from school, there are different withdrawal procedures according to her position. Xingye is the vice president of Abydos, and she must follow the federal law that 'the person and the teacher or advisor must sign', but I haven't signed yet, okay? So, Xingye is still the vice president of Abydos."
Phew~ Fortunately, I still remember the contents of the federal law. Thanks to Lin-chan for asking me to catch him and read the federal law those days!
"..."
As if he had not anticipated the current situation, the man in black was silent for a moment, and then he couldn't help but applaud.
"Hoho~ I see, as a 'teacher', you need your permission for students to stay or leave... Whew~ This is really troublesome. In this Kivotos, the relationship between teachers and students is really a headache."
"Headache? When you deceived your students, you caused them pain in their hearts, and you used their pain to torture them. Your behavior of trampling on other people's hearts is really shameful."
Seeing Zhang Xinyuan's disgusted expression towards him, the latter did not care and instead refuted Zhang Xinyuan's remarks.
"Huhuo~ Perhaps in your eyes, our simple self-interest and disregard for others' behavior...according to the standard of good and evil, that must be evil, right? But...is this within the scope of the 'rules'?"
"Within the rules?"
"Haha, that's right, please don't misunderstand. The disaster in Abydos was not caused by us. When they were in trouble, we just took advantage of the opportunity. As adults, isn't it normal to take advantage of opportunities? Gains and losses are proportional. The more you gain, the more you lose. Isn't this the normal cognition of us as adults facing society? I just gave them a little hope. Isn't it normal for them to work like slaves? Exploitation, plunder, war, greed... Aren't these things that come from adults an unquestionable fact?"
At this time, the black suit took out a document, which stated the agreement to abandon Abydos.
"Teacher, I sincerely ask you, as long as you give up interfering with Abydos, then I will protect Abydos and those students will go to school. This is also the wish of that Hoshino! Uh...!"
"You dare to say it again? I don't care who you are. If you continue to trample on Xingye's wishes, there will probably be an unidentified corpse in the Caesar Building every day, right?"
At this moment, Heifu could clearly feel that the teacher who was still in front of him suddenly appeared in front of him, and then he was grabbed by him fiercely.
Seeing his fierce eyes, Heifu was not angry but happy, and then he said in a crazy tone: "Ah! That's it! The power given by the card! Finally, you finally realized it in front of me... No, please don't use it all the time. If you keep using it, it will cost you your life and time, which is not good for our research, not good..."
"So, I'm going to ask you one last time, where is Hoshino?"
Casually throwing his black suit aside and watching him struggling to stand up, Zhang Xinyuan slowly walked up to him, completely ignoring his still bleeding right hand, and continued to face the dark face directly.
"I can't understand it! I can't understand it! You obviously have a better option for your own benefit! Why did you choose an option that has nothing to do with truth, secret meaning, money, and power? Why!"
"..."
Zhang Xinyuan closed his eyes silently, recalling everyone's smiles in his mind.
"You won't understand any of this."
After saying that, Zhang Xinyuan turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hoshino is currently in the laboratory at the center of the PMC base in the Abydos Desert, using 'mimicry' to observe the opposite of mystery, that is, terror. Can it be placed in the body of a living student? This is our experiment. If you want to save her, please do it before 5pm tomorrow. Otherwise, according to our process, the experiment will be completed by then."
"..."
After a pause, Zhang Xinyuan quickly took the elevator and left the Caesar Building. The man in black looked at the empty elevator, the crack on his face slowly widened, and finally turned into a weird smile.
"Hoho~ I found something incredible, teacher, the willingness to save students... and that even more mysterious power. I really shouldn't be the teacher's enemy... but."
The man in black slowly took out his experimental data and casually cut off the information concealed by Chairman Caesar in the corner of the tablet. Looking at the text that contained some kind of mysterious power, he couldn't help but reveal an expectant look.
"A new era of gods is coming. Teacher, can you lead the mysteries of those girls to defeat it?"
Chapter 98: Eve of Rescue
Abydos School at night.
"Teacher, he won't be in danger, right?"
Inside the club room, Ayane stood by the window, clutching the curtains tightly with her small hands, staring at the school gate.
