Chapter 677: Changes in the Control Room(1/2)

 In the library control room, Manstein pushed open the door hard, and the oak door hit the wall and made a muffled sound. Schneider, who was standing in front of the big screen, looked up at the light spots that were scattered and gathered like stars on the screen. The atmosphere around him could solidify with the naked eye. Some called this the pressure of the superior, and some called it "killing aura".

"Who is on duty tonight?" Manstein hurriedly walked behind Schneider and asked in a low voice, but shook his head after seeing Schneider not responding to his question.

Yes, the question of who is on duty now is meaningless. This sentence mainly aims to break the solidification heaviness. Schneider has always been the sharpest sword in Cassel Academy and is facing outward. Now the sword has been unsheathed but not facing outward, because it is rare that the enemy hit the blade himself.

This was a complete provocation. I remember that this was the first time that foreign enemies invaded since the founding of the school in 1900. No one would go crazy to invade a military fortress that is all mixed races. The academy itself has been airtight in keeping the address confidential. Only CC1,000 express trains can pass through the wilderness of Annabelle. How did these find the mountain top college?

But this is also a meaningless question. Goodrian, wearing a nightcap, ran in from outside the door quickly. Seeing the solemn backs of Manstein and Schneider, he couldn't help but calm down. He straightened his red nightcap and ran behind the two of them and said in a deep voice, "What's the situation?"

Manstein looked back at his old friend and then froze for a moment and said, "I should ask you what's going on with this sentence?"

Guderian clefted the collar of his pajamas and hid his furry chest, feeling embarrassed. "Time is too urgent. When I saw the text message from Norma, I came over directly. Didn't the rules for the emergency assembly write a level one alert on the first level of warning? Are all the professors going to the control room as soon as possible?"

"Non-combatants have been ordered to stay in the faculty and staff dormitory. Haven't you seen the notice that Norma added ten minutes ago?" Manstein frowned at Guderian, who was wearing pajamas. "Now the entire academy has become a battlefield. You just run over in slippers and run over if you meet an enemy, you are a living target, and you have no chance to resist at all!"

"Aren't you here too?" Guderian whispered.

Manstein looked at him coldly, touched a silver pistol with a unique shape and a futuristic look from the inside of the formal suit and slapped it on the table. Guderian glanced at it and said, "Tortoise, 'Light and Dragon'? Why do you bring the experimental weapons made by the madmen in the equipment department to you, aren't you afraid of blowing it up?"

"It's better to blow it up than to be shot by someone." Manstein looked at the guns on the table and was a little annoyed.

Although the equipment department is not reliable in many cases, it has never disappointed in the "power" of the equipment. He really wants to now approve the students in each academy who are fighting against the enemy, which is said to leave traces on the scales of the third generation. However, the surprise attack was too unexpected, and even ordinary standard weapons were not even sent to everyone's hands, which undoubtedly brought great disadvantages to this encounter.

"Who is our enemy?" Manstein asked Schneider, who had been staring at the stars on the big screen. The executive director was the first to go to the control room, which was Norma's information processing hub. This means that all the information in Kassel Academy will be gathered here for processing in detail. Schneider, who has not known how long he has been, should have known more information.

"Are you sure that the people who invaded the academy are all 'dragon tribes'? Who is determined to be the sex? Norma?" Guderian shrank his neck and whispered, "When I came, I heard explosions and fires in many places, especially the direction of Anbo Pavilion. It was as lively as a cloud bomb exploded!"

"You also see the fire there?" Manstein asked in a deep voice, "The Anbo Pavilion is expected to have a celebration banquet tonight, hosted by the Student Union President. The hype was very popular at the Night Watch Forum. Lin Nian and Su Xiaoxiang should be in that place tonight, but I can't get through their phones. It may be because of the electromagnetic impact after the explosion, or other reasons."

"What you see is not the explosion of fire, but the Spirit. According to the survivor's information, someone released a Spirit in Anbo Hall half an hour ago." Schneider finally spoke, his voice was very low and hoarse, which made both Manstein and Guderian feel a little uncomfortable. No one likes the voice of the executive director, especially when he announces the bad news, there is always a kind of rough iron sandpaper that slowly rubs against your heart.

"It's not an explosion, it's a spirit?" Manstein's pupils contracted and his breathing was slightly sluggish. "How could someone release the spirit under the influence of the 'precepts'?"

The library control room was still within the radiation range of the bell tower, and the three people present could still feel the power of the "precepts" suppressing their "spirits". No one of the "snakes" surging due to emotions in Manstein's mind could escape. The force that suppressed him was like a giant hand stroking his head so clearly and heavy.

"So Norma speculated that it was a 'dragon invasion'. In theory, only pure-blooded dragons or hybrid species with extremely powerful bloodlines can break through the 'drug'. The power grid in the back mountain will be paralyzed only when it is attacked by the Spirit. At the same time as the invasion occurs, Norma detected a plural biological magnetic field unfolding outside the academy. It is reasonable to be promoted to the 'first-level alert' and issue a warning for 'dragon invasion'." Schneider said coldly.

"A large group of dragons attacked Kassel Academy?" Guderian gasped, "Is this an unprecedented 'war'?"

"It is not unprecedented. There have been cases of dragons attacking the fortress of the Secret Party in history," Schneider said.

"Summer mourns." Manstein whispered, staring at the back of Schneider's head, "Is this sure the dragons started a war on us?"

Schneider did not answer Manstein, which made Mansteinton slowly frown. When he wanted to ask something, an application for signal access suddenly popped up on the screen of the central control room. Schneider made a gesture to connect almost the same second the application was popped up.

"This is the central control room," Schneider said.

"This is Chu Zihang." The boy's calm and plain voice echoed in the huge control room.

"Report the task progress."

"The mission is completed, the target is dead."

Schneider was silent for a few seconds, and the other side of the screen fell into silence. Afterwards, he spoke, "I said I wanted a living."

"Caesar Gattuso obtained key information," Chu Zihang said. "It confirmed that the target was a hybrid species and not a dragon. Norma misjudged our enemy."

“Their origin and purpose.”

"According to the inducing clichés of a student in the Anbo Pavilion, we temporarily learned from the target that this was an organized and purposeful 'hunting' at the Cassel Academy. The target revealed that they were from the Chernobyl Prison. The purpose of coming here was mainly to kill the personnel on the 'list'. Now the names on the list are Caesar Gattuso and me." Chu Zihang said in an orderly manner.

"It's not the dragon invasion?" Goodrian and Manstein behind Schneider widened their eyes.

"Where is the corpse?" Schneider stared at the screen and flew countless thoughts through his eyes.

"It's burnt, but after the on-site dissection, it can be vaguely identified that it is not a dragon, and its internal structure is completely in line with humans."

"The death and injury of Anbo Pavilion."

"Three people died on the spot when they blocked the target's first release of the Speech Spirit. The most serious thing about the remaining students under the protection of Caesar Gattuso and an unknown student was that they were seriously injured and excessive blood loss. They needed to receive medical assistance within half an hour, otherwise they would die at any time."

"The medical unit has rushed to you and is expected to arrive within three minutes." Schneider withdrew his hand and signaled Norma to send a signal to the troops who had already been waiting for the end of the battle outside the forest of Anbo Pavilion.

When Guderian and Manstein saw his operation, they realized that Schneider had been standing silently in front of the screen and was waiting for this moment. The students who were waiting for him to go deep into the battlefield to bring him the crucial information that could influence the war!

Manstein was a little cold because it meant that Schneider, who was not aware of the enemy's identity and was judged by Norma as a "dragon invasion" directly sent his only student, a second-year student, to the center of the battlefield, and ordered him to "capture" alive but not to "kill" the enemy!

Schneider felt the look of the temperature behind him like an ice cone, but he did not look back, but continued to ask for information, "The process of the battle is a simple report within a hundred words."

"I rushed to the scene, and the target had released the Yanling spirit for the third time. The president of the Student Union handed over the battlefield to me to rescue the injured. I observed that his energy and physical strength were not enough to completely release his Yanling spirit, so I chose to suppress it with the hedge of "Jun Yan". Finally, when he was in a downturn, he chose to attack and cut off his head at the cost of a slight injury." Chu Zihang said.

Ignore the reactions of Manstein and Guderian behind it when they heard the word "Jun Yan".

Schneider thought for two seconds and asked, "What is the target's word spirit?"

"According to Caesar's information, it is very likely that it is 'Yang Lei'."

"The 'Yang Lei' of Serial No. 93?" Manstein couldn't help but lose his voice. As a professor, he had seen a lot of life. Naturally, he understood that the so-called "Serial No. 93" is not a simple number that sounds. From the word spirit of No. 89, all dangerous word spirits are strategic "weapons". In ancient times and even the Middle Ages, they were terrible existences that were enough to siege cities.

"How could he release the Speech Spirit, who is still a mixed race?" Manstein finally asked the question he wanted to ask when he heard Chu Zihang's report.

"The 'Precepts' were weakened." Chu Zihang answered the question, "After the college power grid was destroyed, I found that I could release my own words."

"Your word spirit is 'Junyan', and it's also a dangerous word spirit, so Schneider dared to send you to the first battlefield to carry out missions." Manstein said coldly, but Chu Zihang did not make any comments on this topic, making people imagine his silent face in the rain on the other side.

"In addition to you and your target, are there anyone else on the scene who can release the Spirit of Speech under the 'Precepts'?" Schneider asked.

"As far as I know, Caesar successfully released the Spirit of Word, and the unknown trainees who had previously fought against his target."

"Unknown?"

"He covered his head with stockings, and seemed to not want others to know his identity, but judging from what he did, he was at least on the side of the academy."

Schneider was silent for a few seconds and no longer had to worry about this issue. "I will send a team to the bell tower to check the situation of the night watchman. The 'regard' has been weakened must have encountered a problem. I hope there is no big problem. As long as the 'regard' can restore the suppression force, the damage of this invasion can be minimized."

"The current 'precepts' cannot suppress your students. Does this mean that other students with excellent bloodlines can also imitate and release the Speech Spirit? Do you need to spread this news through Norma?" Manstein asked immediately.

"I will be sure of myself who can release the Spirit of the Word. They also understand that in such an emergency, the school rules are useless and will use the "sword" in their hands." Schneider said lightly, "It seems that the information that the fall of Chernobyl Prison is real, which is a mixed-race species with "Yang Lei", which is very suitable for the monsters that come out of the place where dirt is hidden."

"But the Executive Office has not received any news about requests for help there for the time being." Manstein stared at the big screen.

"Is it the network delay? I heard that the signal was bad because of the legacy of nuclear leaks in the past." Goodrian said with a head protruding.

"Don't pretend to understand. The place established by Chernobyl Prison is completely covered by wireless networks. Parallel satellite monitoring is available anytime and anywhere. How can it be that the signal is not good to transmit information!" Manstein glared at the old guy beside him and said angrily.

"Is it possible that the Chernobyl Prison has completely fallen, and the management has been controlled, so that the information cannot be delivered." Chu Zihang also heard the conversation between Manstein and Guderian on the other end of the screen and put forward an idea.

As soon as this guess came out, the ripples of the quarrel in the control room finally hit the wall and disappeared, leaving only a disturbing pool of stagnant water.

"It should be unlikely, right?" Manstein said gritting his teeth. From his facial expression, he could see that he was trying hard to suppress his inner anxiety.

Schneider looked back at Manstein, and a decay of decay appeared in his iron-gray eyes, because even the minister of the executive department would be shocked by this conjecture. Just imagine that when the scene described by Chu Zihang happened, a strong aura surged into his body, which was a murderous intent like a storm.

The location of Chernobyl Prison is very special. The school board injects funds into it throughout the year and replaces the best facilities and equipment every time it takes, in order to build that place into the "eighteen-layer hell" in Chinese mythology, so that the devils who were knocked into it will never be reborn. They will completely "dead" in this world at the moment when the prison gate is closed, and they will cut off the connection with the spring, summer, autumn and winter outside the nuclear ruins. All they have left is the black cage before becoming a dead bone.

Only truly dangerous characters will be imprisoned in Chernobyl Prison. Political prisoners, financial prisoners, etc. are just good babies in the prison [green area]. From the [orange area] to the [red area] and [black area] are the real places where terrifying are imprisoned. The local mixed-race forces are hidden there, like hot potatoes, difficult to control, want to kill, but cannot bear the price.

Especially in the [Red Zone], many prisoners were sent in by the Executive Department of Cassel College. If they came out today and rushed to the academy, it is not difficult to imagine how hatred and crazy they would have for this secret party fortress, and they would like to knock on the bones and suck the marrow and bite it into scum and swallow it into the abdomen?

Not to mention the things hidden in the [Black Zone] that really make people not want to accept their "existence". In order to ensure the absolute control of Chernobyl Prison, secret keys buried under the entire prison are inserted and activated. The final means can be detonated at any time. However, the final means have not bloomed a flower again on that ruin, but it has completely fallen?

Who is the one who broke through the prison? If he controls the prison, it means he controls the ultimate means. Now he uses the hatred of the mixed race to hunt down the students of Kassel Academy. Then, in the next step, he will send the "legion" without power and fear to do? Open up a kingdom in Chernobyl, or ask for more?

Just thinking about this possibility is enough to make the three professors in the control room sweat.

"Professor, I suggest passing the information on the 'list' to all students through Norma." Chu Zihang's voice sounded again, "If the enemy's goal is to 'hunting', no one can guarantee whether their own names will appear on the 'list', which means that the student dormitory is no longer safe."

"They may raid any place in the academy." Schneider said hoarsely as he kept up with Chu Zihang's thoughts, "Can you deduce other potential names based on the names known on the list?"

"It's difficult, but there is a way of thinking that is provided by the student union president." Chu Zihang said, "He believes that the arrangement of the list is based on the students' 'bloodline'."

"Bloodline?" Manstein suddenly looked up, and Guderian was also looking up together.

"There is little possibility that the information of Kassel College students has always been stored in the core of the Information Department and Norma. If the hunting targets are really planned according to their bloodline, how did they get the information of the students to draw up this list? Norma has not been invaded, and no one in this world can quietly break through her firewall in the Internet field!" Schneider frowned.

Manstein was shocked and suddenly whispered as if he was remembering something, "Unless the invasion had happened long ago and it was successful."

Schneider paused when he heard his voice, and suddenly turned around and looked at him.

"Pearl Tower Incident." Manstein looked at Schneider directly and whispered, "We thought they did nothing at that time, but they actually got what they wanted. Norma's information library contains all the information about Kassel Academy! Architecture division, hidden facilities, and even strategic deployment!"

After hearing Manstein's words, Guderian suddenly felt a chill. Doesn't this mean that the group of people who invaded the academy had "opened the full map" from the beginning, and launched this strategic invasion in a state of absolute crushing information?

"What would be the first thing you would do if you were the enemy's commander after getting local strategic deployment?" Manstein asked at Schneider.

"The beheading operation killed the enemy's executive officer," Schneider said.

The two of them looked at each other, then looked up at the big screen at the same time. Under the gaze of Guderian, who was in a daze in his pajamas, they sternly said, "Norma! Block all entrances and exits of the library and enter a first-level martial law!"

"The command has been received." Norma's voice sounded in the central control room. At the same time, blood-red lights and alarms lit up on both sides of the control room and on the front, back and rear exits. The thick alloy iron door began to land and sealed every entrance of the control room. The high-voltage static electricity and infrared detection in the ventilation ducts were opened, the air purification system was operating normally, and all defense systems began to be launched.

But even so, Schneider and Manstein didn't see any less heavy eyes. The second floor of the library is the central control room. Controlling this place is like abolishing the command center, let alone the special elevator leading to the ice cellar on the first floor!

The things hidden in the ice cellar are really something that can destroy the world. The equipment department and the principal like to stuff everything into it. I heard that an experimental "micro alchemy hydrogen bomb" was stuffed into the equipment department last time on the third floor of the ice cellar. Not to mention how the madmen in the equipment department reduced the nuclear weapons, just hearing the word alchemy in front of the hydrogen bomb would make people feel chilled.

When Schneider and Manstein blocked the library, they also had a more terrifying guess about the attack. The hunting list had excellent bloodlines. It seemed that the "best" targeted the Secret Party, but who knows whether there is a real dirty purpose hidden under this superficial action?

After all, the attack happened today, and today is not an ordinary working day. Few people know that a landmark "experiment" was secretly held in Kassel Academy today, and the scene of this "experiment" is located in the underground of the library, in a mysterious and dangerous ice cellar.

"Have you notified the principal?" asked Manstein.

"I can't inform you that the area of ​​the ice cellar is a magnetic and metal space, and I don't have time or anyone to go down to inform him in person," Schneider said.

"What about Lin Nian? Have you contacted him?" Manstein finally asked this question after being silent for a few seconds.
To be continued...
