"I don't have my student ID with me. I'm in the hotel. Senior, do you want to go back to the hotel with us?"
"Fingal said that you can't rest your brain. You keep racking your brains for things that you haven't figured out, and you will eventually become a psychopath." EVA said, "In order to prevent you from really becoming a psychopath, I must go back with you. We need to clarify some things, and we need to plan the longest escape route for you in the shortest time."
"Escape route?"
"You don't think that Kassel Academy has become completely blind without Eva Lawrence, do you? That supercomputer has been imitating the fluctuations of my spirit and soul for so many years, and created Norma." EVA tapped Lu Mingfei's chest with her slender fingers, "Think about it carefully, that supercomputer has been transmitting wrong information to the executive department 24 hours a day. Professor Schneider will soon notice the abnormality, and then an investigation against Norma will be carried out from the inside out. They will find the protection order for you written at the bottom of the artificial intelligence logic, and they will soon find that your whereabouts have actually been hidden and obfuscated by Finkel and Norma respectively."
"Next, the school board will modify Norma's underlying logic. No matter who wrote the order to protect me into the program of that supercomputer, that order will be changed. Then the hounds of the secret party will follow my scent to this city." The boiling dragon blood not only gave Lu Mingfei the physique of a true super hybrid, but also strengthened his brain.
"But you can't start running away right away." EVA said, "From a logical point of view, Norma is protecting you, while Finkel is confusing the city's surveillance system. Only in your hometown will any information and data related to you become a black hole that devours everything in the cyber world. This black hole will not be noticed by the secret party until they discover Norma's abnormality."
In other words, Lu Mingfei will not be at risk of being exposed in Hefei, even if he uses his ID card to apply for a mobile phone card in a high-profile manner, or holds a live broadcast on an online platform watched by hundreds of thousands of people.
In this city, everything related to Lu Mingfei was erased from the information world.
If Lu Mingfei leaves here, he will have to face the omnipresent Sky Eye, and then no matter what he wants to do, it will become difficult.
"I won't stay by your side for too long. There are many things I need to do. But even if I'm not by your side, if one day the last high wall that protects you in Kassel College collapses, I will be the first to pass this information to your ears." EVA said.
"I suddenly remembered a question. Senior sister, you are active in the information world, which is far behind the era when Uncle Chu was connected with the principal. But as the system center of Kassel College, you should have a backup of the original mission report." Lu Mingfei looked at the girl next to him, "That Lao Liu, is he the principal's man?"
"No." said EVA.
Lu Mingfei hesitated and sighed.
"But he is a member of the Gattuso family, and the person he served all those years was Frost Gattuso."
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils contracted slightly.
-----------------
Ling sat on the sofa, drinking a cup of coffee in silence.
The girl had a slightly cold face, and the hot steam from the coffee rose slowly into the air like rising smoke. The middle-aged man stood in front of her with a serious face, like an ace special forces soldier waiting for orders from his superiors.
Eri was fiddling with the ornaments on her desk; the young man had been kicked out.
"So what you mean is that your boss has been paying you to stay here all these years, but in the end he said nothing and didn't make any demands on you?"
"Yes, yes. I was a sports star in the city's swimming team back then. If the salary here wasn't really too high, I wouldn't be willing to come here." The middle-aged man nodded.
"Do you still remember Chu Tianjiao?"
"Yes, of course. Old Chu and I are the same. When we drink, we must have braised large intestines and double spicy grilled chicken wings. We both loved them." The middle-aged man was indeed deeply impressed by Chu Tianjiao.
Zero silently looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who looked a little bald. Under the analysis of Yanling. Jingtong, his bloodline and body structure flashed in Zero's eyes like anatomical drawings.
He is not a super hybrid that can subdue Chu Tianjiao, and he is not even B-level. If he is placed in Kassel Academy, he would probably be the kind of useless character that neither the Student Union nor the Lionheart Club would be willing to accept.
This level of wild hybrids should be able to thrive among ordinary people, but in the real dark world they are just unknown minor characters.
I really don’t know how the boss came up with the idea of letting this kind of person monitor Chu Tianjiao.
"Did he behave in any unusual way while working at Media Asia Group?" Ling asked.
"No, Lao Chu has a very good relationship with the boss here. They are almost inseparable at work. When the boss goes to the foot bath city to wash his feet, he also goes to the foot bath city to wash his feet. When the boss goes to meet clients, he also goes to meet clients. Basically, every day is spent in the car or in the dormitory." A trace of nostalgia appeared on the middle-aged man's face.
"Didn't the boss ask me to keep an eye on him? So I'm watching him all day long, but if I really want to say it..."
He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "Old Chu has a box, black, metal, and looks heavy. He carries it to work every day and takes it back to the dormitory when he gets off work. I told my boss about this, but he told me not to worry about it and just told me to keep an eye on the box as well."
"and after?"
"There was a period of time when Lao Chu carried two boxes on his way to and from get off work. It was probably in 05 when a typhoon was about to land. I thought the boxes contained the boss's invoices." The middle-aged man curled his lips. "Every time they went out to have fun, Lao Chu would pay for it and then ask the finance department to settle the bill after they came back... But one afternoon, he went out with two boxes in his hands, driving the boss's Maybach, and he never came back. Later I heard that he was blown away by the typhoon on the elevated road, and no one saw him alive or dead."
Zero's expression did not change, but his body tensed slightly.
box……
Two?
Chapter 463: Return of the Mourner
"In fact, I owe you a big favor, Junior Brother." EVA skillfully prepared a classic cocktail for Lu Mingfei with brandy, Cointreau, lemon juice and orange juice. In the space separated by a huge glass wine cabinet next to her, Ling was playing games with Eri.
In the presidential suite of the Regent Hotel, Lu Mingfei and EVA were drinking leisurely across the circular dining table.
"I don't understand what you mean." Lu Mingfei scratched his head.
"Let's drink first. We call it Side Car. It's the most classic combination of brandy and the first classic cocktail based on brandy." EVA smiled and pushed the wide-mouthed cup in front of Lu Mingfei.
“My friends used to love drinking this one.”
Lu Mingfei picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then carefully looked at the girl in front of him who had changed into pajamas after returning to the hotel.
EVA's figure is very similar to Eri's, so she can wear her clothes directly, which are sky blue plush pajamas and plush bunny slippers. There are two long ears drooping on the slippers. There is a facial mask on her little face, so her expression cannot be seen clearly.
“I don’t quite understand what you mean. If I really have to say who I owe a favor to, it should be me who owes you, right, senior sister?” Lu Mingfei said.
When Lu Mingfei was studying in college, he often asked EVA to help him get review materials for a certain subject from Ling or Qilan's personal accounts.
"Because of you, my spirit can get a new carrier." said EVA.
"So, senior sister, what you mean is that your resurrection is actually thanks to me, right?" Lu Mingfei was puzzled. He could confirm that he had never been directly or indirectly involved in any related incidents.
It can even be said that when EVA appeared in front of him, the shock Lu Mingfei suffered was no different from what the Americans experienced when they encountered the 911/ incident. The incredible and unbelievable feelings simultaneously gripped his heart and sent electricity into it.
"The story begins in 2003, when my spirit was released from the Philosopher's Stone and injected into the academy's supercomputer due to an accident and became a digital life," said EVA.
"It is a life form different from humans and dragons, and also an ideology independent of existing theories... In that state, my spirit was incredibly strengthened by relying on the ubiquitous network base stations around the world and the radio waves that transmit information all the time. When no supercomputer on this planet could compete with me, the entire information world became me. In 2008, my spirit was extremely strong, infinitely close to that of the Dragon King."
"Wait, why is it 2008?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused.
"On May 2008, 5, the IBM supercomputer Roadrunner at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico pushed the computing speed to 25PF, exceeding the 1.026 trillion floating-point calculations per second for the first time, far exceeding the computing power of the Academy's Turing computer. Although I can still rely on advanced programs and intelligence that is beyond my time to fulfill my duty of monitoring the entire world, I can no longer extend my spirit to every corner of the information world. The power of EVA.Laurence, the first truly artificial dragon king in history and the king of virtuality, quickly fell from the altar after reaching its peak."
"You said that your spirit was infinitely close to that of the Dragon King. Does this mean that you, senior sister, have also briefly elevated yourself to a higher dimension?" Lu Mingfei grasped the key point of EVA's words.
The little devil once told him that the Dragon King is actually a third kind of creature different from humans and dragons. They rise and fall in the long river of time, but are essentially not affected by time.
Lu Mingze also said that the Dragon King is actually a being of a higher dimension, and that the great constraints of history are what limit them. If it weren't for the Twilight of the Gods, the world would have long been thrown into chaos by the ultimate secrets of alchemy.
This is because any Dragon King, after learning and settling down, can push alchemy to its peak like Norton did, and thereby reach the most mysterious "time reversal" and "separation of cause and effect" in the seven kingdoms of alchemy.
Lu Mingfei still remembers what Norton said and the expression on his face when he killed him.
In fact, he has always had a suspicion that Norton did not come from the future like him, but saw the ending from fate.
As the supreme master of alchemy, it was not difficult for the King of Bronze and Fire to do this.
"The data says you're a brainless loser, and Finkel also says you're not very smart sometimes, but I think you have a very good brain, Junior Brother." EVA smiled, "From 2005 to 2008, my spirit was so strong that I could even play with time to a certain extent, but the uncertainty was too great. I couldn't see the whole world like God, so I could only steal some data stored in the information world from the downstream of fate."
Lu Mingfei's heart moved slightly, and a kind of unspeakable anger slowly grew like mold on orange peel. He was thinking of something...
"The Tokyo Mission Report was stolen from my database by Dr. Herzog." EVA nodded.
"Sounds like an episode of Interstellar."
"But it shouldn't be difficult for you to understand. I don't think any human being in this world can understand the nature of the king as thoroughly as you do." EVA said. She performed some operations on a mobile phone, and then pushed the screen upwards along the table in front of Lu Mingfei.
"Of course, I know you may not be able to accept that such an incredible thing actually happened in the real world for a while, so I prepared evidence."
That was the interface of the Night Watchman Forum, and what appeared before Lu Mingfei was a post published on August 2010, 8—
"Monsters from the East have entered America."
"The unspeakable man-eating devil is approaching Illinois."
"The despicable Chinese have set foot in Chicago."
"Lu Mingfei boarded the CC1000 express."
"The rising star of the hybrid, the only S-Class, drove out of the Chicago train station."
"The new supreme king arrived in his loyal Kassel today, and his most fanatical news department is ready to check with His Majesty the Emperor at any time!"
It turned out to be the news released by the Information Department, which is known as the fence-sitter in Kassel, under the command of their minister, Finkel von Frings, the loser.
"This is a screenshot of the Night Watch forum. From the background, we can see that the screenshot was taken on September 2010, 9, the day when Freedom Day occurred," said EVA.
"so what?"
"Look at the ID of the person who posted this post."
Lu Mingfei then scrolled down the long screenshot, and suddenly froze at the end.
Posted by: Flame Dragon Slayer.
His thoughts seemed to drift away, and in a trance he actually crossed time and space and returned to the end of that tragic fate.
In another period of time, Lu Mingfei suffered from severe PTSD after returning to Kassel College from Tokyo. Chu Zihang was transferred to the Oslo branch under the arrangement of the executive department. Caesar finally accepted his surname and chose to reconcile with his family. After graduating from Kassel College, he returned to Italy and became the head of the Rome branch.
Finkel completed the principal's commission and ended his nine-year miserable life at Kassel College. After graduation, he was transferred to the Cuban branch as he wished, where he spent every day drinking and carousing with his girlfriends like Kim Kardashian, who could hold a glass of champagne on their butts.
But this guy is not someone who can sit still.
When Lu Mingfei accepted the Nibelungen Plan and had to be assigned by the Executive Department to slay dragons all over the world, Finkel was writing furiously on the Night Watcher Forum and wrote a masterpiece titled "The Legend of Slaying Dragons in Japan".
This novel is basically based on the Tokyo incident, and is the product of Finkel's wild imagination and somewhat melodramatic writing style.
In that novel, Chu Zihang was described as the "eternally burning eye magician", the Japanese branch run by Caesar was given the code name "the domineering nobleman", and Lu Mingfei, the mascot of the group who was so lucky that he could even abduct the little princess of the Sheqi family, was unsurprisingly given a rather flirtatious nickname in the novel, and everyone called him "the Sakura favored by God".
As the creator of the Japanese Dragon Slayer Legend, Young Master Fingel arranged a well-deserved male protagonist for himself in the story. He was a natural talent and famous in Europe. He wielded the Flame Demon Sword from the Alps to Hokkaido without blinking an eye. He was called the "Flame Dragon Slayer" by his contemporaries. However, he was unwilling to be trapped by love. After successively rejecting the love confessions of Gaoling Witch Chen Motong, Kitahara Princess Zero, Sword Saint Susie and the head of the Uesugi family in the Extreme Cold Elegy, he traveled the world with a sword on his back, composing a series of legends in the martial arts world...
Although Finkel is a rather shameless fellow, his writing is heart-wrenching, so Lu Mingfei, Caesar and Chu Zihang are all loyal readers of this novel.
In short, before returning to Chicago from Tokyo, Finkel's ID on the Night Watchman Forum was his real name. In his own words, a real man should never change his name or surname, and should dare to think, dare to do, dare to take responsibility for things. How can you be a real man if you are timid?
"So Finkel also knows something about the future?" Lu Mingfei looked at EVA, "Did you deliberately leak the Tokyo mission report to Herzog?"
That's where his anger comes from.
If nothing had changed, Lu Mingfei could have avoided many disasters, and Xia Mi wouldn't have to fall into a deep sleep like she is now.
"No, there was a period of time when the cyber attacks from Italy were very frequent, and the intensity of the attacks was far stronger than Kaguya developed by the Japanese branch." EVA shook her head, "I was not awakened at the time. Norma was in charge of daily vigilance. She used most of her computing power to resist the attacks from Italy, and Kaguya took the opportunity to hack into the database."
"It sounds like Herzog is very lucky." Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes.
"In fact, I have more detailed information about the source of the attack. It is located in the basement of the Qunqing Palace, which belongs to the Gattuso family, outside Rome." EVA shrugged and tore off the mask. "In order to make up for this mistake, Finkel traveled frequently between Japan and the United States for three consecutive years. During this period, he successfully instigated many loyal supporters of Herzog in the Demon Clan and the Eight Snake Families, and even told the truth to Yuan Zhisheng, who was highly expected by Herzog."
"Yuan Zhisheng?"
"Yes, he is definitely a qualified leader. After receiving the mission report from Tokyo, he immediately formulated a series of detailed plans and implanted them into his subconscious through hypnosis. Then the hypnotist we found temporarily sealed his memory." EVA said, "We all know that Herzog is a cunning man like a sand fox. In order to deceive him, he must first deceive himself. In order to gain his trust and make sure that it is his real body that is eliminated in the end, Yuan Zhisheng decided to use this method to gain Herzog's trust."
"How did you do it in the end?" Lu Mingfei frowned slightly. "Herzog chose to transform into a cocoon because you tampered with the White King's fetal blood, right?"
"Hilbert Jean Ange's folding knife was forged from the fragment of Menek Cassel's Atkan long sword, which was tempered with a deadly poison called Emerald Mixture." EVA said, "After entering the blood exchange device, Yuan Zhisheng used Ange's folding knife to cut his own blood vessels before his will fell into a deep sleep, and mixed the deadly poison into his blood... The main material of Emerald Mixture is the powder ground from the Philosopher's Stone, and the Philosopher's Stone cannot cause fatal damage to humans. It is usually used to suppress the vital signs of dragons."
