Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Generally speaking, a single school board cannot directly intervene in the operation of the college and ongoing military operations. Even if the Gattuso family wants to terminate an operation that may pose a threat to Caesar, they must first convene a meeting with the school board. Meeting, gaining majority support, summoned the president, vice-president and executive director, and they transferred Caesar back to the college from the brink of danger.
But the mysterious school director didn't seem to have gone through these procedures.
"Do I have the authority to know who that school director is?" Caesar asked.
He didn't really think that this mission would not be able to operate without Zero. After all, no matter how outstanding the little Russian girl was, she was only A-level. Today, there are so many talented people here, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are as many A-levels as dogs. .
But Caesar was very curious about which big shot made such a seemingly meaningless decision, and which school director could actually do something that even the Gattuso family found it difficult to do openly.
"Sorry, that school director doesn't want others to know his identity." Eva declined Caesar with a smile.
Compared to being casual and even wild in front of Lu Mingfei, Senior EVA can still maintain the image of a cold artificial intelligence in front of others.
"Actually, I think Zero is interested in Lu Mingfei." In order to make it easier for her to deal with the roasted leg of lamb that was brought to her, Susie put her long hair on top of her head with one hand, exposing her slender and fair back neck.
The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, her slender eyebrows were also raised slightly, and she looked at Chu Zihang and blinked.
"Zero seems to be unwilling to be approached by anyone in the academy. Even if a girl wants to approach her, she will be rejected. Many people call her the Queen of Vacuum." The fire of gossip that suddenly burned in Susie's heart was so intense that Chu, who seemed to be absent-minded, Zihang was actually raising his ears for fear that he might have missed a word.
"Teacher Masashi Toyama told me that she has a very serious mysophobia." Caesar shrugged, "This is normal. I had it before, but my mysophobia only affects men."
How could the noble son of the Gattuso family refuse the affectionate embrace of any woman?
When a girl musters up the courage to appear in front of you with flowers and a shy face, what Caesar Gattuso should do is to take her into his arms, invite her to a luxurious banquet, and give her a Cartier necklace. .
Even if that girl is actually a dinosaur girl, I can only accept it happily.
"But have you seen the posts about Ling and Lu Mingfei on the Night Watch forum? Some people see them in the cafeteria going out to forage together late at night almost every day." Susie told Cato with excitement as she gnawed on the leg of lamb. Master Suo shared gossip between girls with his embryo-killing boyfriend, although she thought that Chu Zihang should not be interested in such things at all.
"The word you said about foraging reminds me of an owl..." Caesar said.
"Or a weasel." Chu Zihang drank expressionlessly, with the unfinished tuna in front of him.
Susie was stunned. She didn't know why she couldn't keep up with the brain circuits of these two people.
"I mean, Lu Mingfei is the only one who gets special treatment from Zero." She suddenly grabbed Chu Zihang's left hand and held it in her arms like a little girl, "You don't know that girls treat certain people better than others. What does special mean?”
Caesar's face showed a look of understanding, but Chu Zihang's fingers trembled slightly and his expression became serious.
The president was about to express his opinion, but suddenly he closed his mouth.
Deafening whistles suddenly sounded from the three oil tankers at the same time. The decks vibrated slightly. Everyone in the wind and snow stopped in shock and looked around blankly.
But the execution department is worthy of being called the execution department. Although the killers were shocked, they immediately grasped their weapons.
"Bad news, gentlemen." EVA, who had just disappeared, suddenly appeared again. This time, the bright blue girl showed a solemn face, and she had an inexplicable military temperament.
Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other and stood up at the same time.
"The mission has been brought forward. You have 80 minutes to prepare for the dive," EVA said. "I know you have all written your wills, so you can talk to the people most important to you, or enjoy your breakfast. But I don't recommend you eat too much."
"Why?" Susie tilted her head and looked curiously at the artificial intelligence that was said to be the soul of a real person.
"Because there is no toilet on the Trieste, if you have diarrhea you will have to solve it here." EVA showed a hint of joking. "Also, I have to remind you that the equipment department has not installed... an air purification device on this submersible either."
Caesar's face darkened.
Chu Zihang's face turned pale.
The two of them obviously thought of one thing at the same time. They had just stuffed their stomachs with grilled lamb, blue lobster sashimi, and a huge portion of tuna.
"What happened?" Caesar asked coldly.
He was already considering inducing vomiting.
"I have no right to tell you any details. Someone will communicate with you next." EVA refused simply.
Caesar looked embarrassed. It was obvious that Master Gattuso was not good at "being rejected".
Then again, Caesar really hates the class system of the academy...he hates it to the core.
A person like him was 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 one and the best one. In fact, until the day Lu Mingfei entered Kassel College, Caesar's life was exactly what he wanted.
Even in Kassel Academy, where the elite gathers all over the place, his young master Gattuso's class is A-level, which is able to stand out from the crowd. Although he sometimes doesn't want to admit it, he still wants to let Caesar sit in the academy because the family behind him has a seat on the school board. Like a fish in water.
But since Lu Mingfei joined the academy system, Caesar felt that his life had begun to become disillusioned.
First, he lost the free day representing honor while joining forces with the Lion Heart Society. Then, not surprisingly, he saw the former Flower of the High Mountain, the little witch Nono, taking the initiative to pursue Lu Mingfei. In the following time, there were countless He was hit completely from multiple directions.
After all, when permissions are open to oneself, it is a very cool tool for showing off, but once he is blocked from the door, it will be a damn class barrier.
At the same time that EVA disappeared again, the hissing sound of electricity came from the headphones of Caesar and Chu Zihang.
The technical team is testing the communication channel. The Dieste, the North American headquarters, the Principal's Sleipnir, and the three modified tankers currently used as temporary water combat platforms will all be assigned to different encrypted channels.
Since the college does not want a passing fisherman to inadvertently hear someone shouting on the radio "throw a nuclear bomb into the trench quickly" and other shocking and unscrupulous words, it is obviously necessary to encrypt the communication channel. of.
At the same time, this was also a signal that the mission was about to begin. Susie was trying to swallow the fragrant roasted lamb leg while she still had some free time, while Caesar and Chu Zihang subconsciously touched their weapons.
Caesar still brought his Desert Eagle and the hunting knife named Dictado.
The reason why he brought a gun was because Frost was extremely wealthy. He actually didn't investigate where the two bullets ground from the Philosopher's Stone had gone. He just applied to the clan elders immediately after learning that Caesar didn't have such a thing. The third and fourth Philosopher's Stone bullets codenamed "Burning Blood".
These warheads are filled with impure impurities, and the composition of those impurities comes from the fire element in the Norton keel.
Even eight kilometers underwater, the majesty of the King of Bronze and Fire can still be asserted. If he really encounters the awakened god, Norton's remaining 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..." Ange said 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 came to 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. Only the crimson lines of artificial light sources flickered in the darkness. Through the dim light, Mingfei could see the straight falling snow.
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 confront each other, but made similar actions.
"He was standing alone in the fog and very confused..." Nono said.
Chapter 346: Dragon Abyss (3) Her Royal Highness the Princess and Hell
"This is the place where we have experienced the decisive battle. The old king died, the new king held up his crown, and the frenzy of destruction rose from the red well."
Lu Mingfei walked along the well wall. When he stepped out of the engineering elevator, he casually touched the switch of the light source at the bottom of the well. Those dazzling spotlights were fixed on the scaffolding on the walls around the well, and they were all lit. By then it was as if the dark clouds had dispersed and the sun reappeared in the sky.
"White King, Herzog..." Nuonuo murmured a name that once made Lu Mingfei hate and fear him to the very core. But now his heart was still, as if he was sad and angry when he came here and looked away. everything.
The rustle of falling snowflakes filled the whole world. Lu Mingfei's footsteps walking along the well wall suddenly stopped. He stood in front of a pool of red water, with no emotion in his eyes.
