78. Command Room
"What he brought back from China was... the bone bottle of Dragon King Norton."
Manstein's voice was low, and he had already guessed, "Then it can be explained. The bone bottle was delivered half an hour ago, and the invasion occurred immediately."
"Where is that thing now?" Guderian asked.
"It must be in the most heavily guarded place - the 'ice cellar', so the focus of our defense is on the underground level." Von Schneider said.
Manstein nodded, "There are three main entrances, the Hall of Valor, the church and the library. The library is protected by Norma, so the only ones at risk are the Hall of Valor and the church. How many people can the executive department send?"
"Very few." Von Schneider frowned, "Since the founding of the school, the campus has never been invaded, so the commissioners of the executive department are all conducting search missions overseas. Now they can only rely on students who are well-trained and have excellent pedigrees.
The students are our main force.”
He paused, "Caesar Gattuso led the student union to guard the Hall of Valor, and Chu Zihang led the Lionheart Society to guard the church. Because of their bloodline, their real strength is already stronger than most of the commissioners of the Executive Department."
"That's all we can do." Manstein sighed, "Can you contact the principal?"
"I called his cell phone, but it was not turned on." Von Schneider shook his head, "Sometimes he can also make people feel very troublesome. He returns to school with something of this level without notifying anyone. He has no time to be alert, but
I sent an email informing you of the class time.”
"So he is really an educator!" Guderian shrugged.
On the sidelines, while three senior professors were discussing relevant matters, Masashi Toyama perfectly displayed the demeanor of a member of Kassel College's teaching staff who said, "I will be there if anything happens, but it will be useless if something happens." In layman's terms,
In other words, it is a qualified background board.
As for Gu Chen, he thought of the information about the 'Ice Cellar' that he had learned from Frost before. Now combined with von Schneider's words, his mind has become more active.
--An unknown number of intruders. The college guards are not strong enough. There are only a few students available and all of them have already gone to their positions.
This is simply an opportunity God created for him to fish in troubled waters!
Could it be that Bellandi anticipated his current predicament and arranged his fate in advance?
Gu Chen tapped his fingers lightly, and his thoughts were crazy, but he would not be carried away like this. Things were progressing too smoothly. Kassel College, as the fortress of mankind against the dragons, is the most powerful human force.
It's impossible to be so strong on the outside but on the inside.
Could this be a trap targeting a certain person or party?
Odin's evil thoughts have been eroding his body. After a while, his consciousness disappeared and now Greed is carried into the laboratory. This is a question worth thinking about.
…
Von Schneider glanced at his watch. A full hour had passed, and the intruder had never been discovered.
After the state of emergency was activated, all cameras started working, and every entrance and exit was closely monitored. It was impossible for the other party to escape from the campus.
Von Schneider looked at the people around him. Manstein and Masashi Toyama had been staring at the big screen. He knew that the former had always been meticulous and was indeed trying to find out the location of the intruder from the surveillance, while the latter was even if not
I understand and don't want people to think that he is just a bystander when everyone is nervous and busy.
As for the other two people... Guderian was sitting on a chair, with his mouth open and his face turned upward, probably asleep. Gu Chen was not qualified enough, so he did not sit on a chair in such a serious command place, but stood against the wall.
With his head down, he may have fallen asleep.
It's just that he is right next to the window. If an intruder discovers this place, his photo will be hung gloriously in the Hall of Valor.
Von Schneider shook his head. In fact, he didn't have much hope for them, but when people are nervous, seeing their companions can somewhat relieve them.
It's just that the unusual calm made him feel uneasy. What should have happened didn't happen, which was very dangerous. He couldn't figure out the identity and intentions of his opponent, and this feeling lingered like a ghost.
"Besides Ye Sheng, is there anyone here who can use the Word Spirit Snake?" he asked.
"I don't have the right to view the secret files related to psychic abilities, but there is at least one other person." Manstein said: "Myself."
"Your speech spirit is 'snake'?"
"My domain is three times larger than Ye Sheng. If I can use the word spirit, I may be able to find the intruder. But under the 'commandments' of the night watchman, our power is forced to sleep." Manstein
Pointing to his temple.
The Word Spirit·Discipline is a Word Spirit that overcomes the superior and the inferior. During the release period, dragon blood descendants in the domain with a lower bloodline than one's own are prohibited from using the Word Spirit. After the release is stopped, the previous prohibition effect is revoked. It can be used with the alchemy matrix to expand the Word Spirit's
Domain scope.
"Can you please ask the night watchman to lift the 'commandment'?" Schneider asked tentatively.
"My father?" Manstein was stunned, "It's impossible. Only the principal can order him to lift it."
Gu Chen was a little surprised and bumped the shoulder of Masashi Toyama next to him. The latter knew what he wanted to ask at a glance. He nodded lightly and whispered that the rumored vice president was indeed Professor Manstein's father.
Von Schneider said seriously: "The situation is very special. We do not have the principal's authorization now, but as long as the 'commandments' are lifted, we will have 700 students who can use the spirit of speech as a fighting force, and our strength will be unprecedentedly powerful. Just for this night
, can you try it?”
Manstein was silent for a long time and then picked up the phone: "I can only give it a try. That old cowboy... is the kind of character who doesn't even recognize his relatives."
Under Von Schneider's expectant eyes, he dialed the phone. During the short call, he was stunned several times, and his face was even more confused after the call ended.
"Forget it if he doesn't agree." Von Schneider sighed.
"No, he agreed." Manstein touched his bald head, still a little confused.
Gu Chen's expression changed slightly. He looked out the window. In the brightly lit campus, a gust of wind seemed to have blown away the layer of fog that had always been shrouded. The 'spirit' that was powerful enough to envelope the entire Kassel College collapsed.
Tens of meters deep underground in the library, on the monitoring screen of the central processing system, dozens and hundreds of silver-blue beams of light slowly rose. They were the power spread from ancient times.
The students were in a commotion, and their "spirits" that had been suppressed for a long time were revived.
…
"Do you feel your blood boiling?" Masashi Toyama asked.
Gu Chen felt it and shook his head regretfully, "No."
"How is it possible?" Masashi Toyama said: "You are so young, you should be excited when encountering such a thing. The dragon blood in your body will boil and guide you to fight!"
Gu Chen was startled, "I didn't expect you to be a fan of passionate dramas."
"Who doesn't have a dragon-slaying boy living in their heart?" Toyama Masashi smiled, and then asked suspiciously: "Is it possible that your 'spiritual' attributes are actually related to psychological research?"
