School administration building, board meeting hall.
A slender man stood in the middle of the hall with his head lowered. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a white coat. Around him, six extraordinary people with deep temperament sat, each of them possessing the power of being calm and confident.
His aura and every move exuded the majesty of a superior.
The hall was as quiet as night, and the six people in high positions were all staring at the man with reproachful eyes, not concealing the disappointment and anger in their eyes.
There was just a 'pop' sound, which was the explosion made by a strange-shaped instrument on the main seat of the hall. In an instant, the lights turned off, leaving only the incandescent light shining on the man.
A thick voice from the principal's position broke the silence.
"Director An, because of your major personal mistakes, the school suffered such serious losses. It is the most serious loss since the school was founded. It is simply a disaster. Do you know the consequences?"
"I know that I will take full responsibility and express my deepest condolences to all those who lost their lives in this incident. I will also provide corresponding compensation through future research results."
The man finished speaking in a deep voice, but it was like a fuse, directly igniting the anger of the big shots around him, and they all slapped the table and shouted.
"Take responsibility? Fulfill it through future research results? Do you think we can continue to trust you!?"
"A project worth tens of billions was interrupted because of you alone, and three high-end instruments worth over a billion were all damaged. Tell me how you are going to compensate?"
"More than twenty fresh human lives were lost without warning. What a bad impact it had on the school, the loss of reputation of our century-old famous school, and the pressure from above!"
"These are not the point. The point is that you caused our school to lose an extremely important six-star combat capability. How do you want us to forgive you?"
"Go spend the rest of your life in prison!"
The principal pronounced his verdict in a voice as sharp as a rock sharpening a knife: "Hand over the core data. From today on, your position as the project director will be terminated!"
The man suddenly burst out laughing when he heard this, and looked around at the circle of people sitting in high seats with a mocking sneer on his face.
"So, you have found someone who can replace me?"
As soon as these words came out, the hall instantly became silent.
Silence is better than sound at this time.
"After I leave, can you guarantee that you will find the precious experimental subject that escaped? Can you guarantee that the other two experimental subjects in the institute will not suddenly go berserk and out of control?"
The man in the white coat raised his arms.
"Who gave you such confidence?"
"If you want six-star combat power but don't want to take the risks behind it, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"
"Recognize the reality!"
"If I fall, all the things you lost before will be lost in vain."
"Only when I stand do you have the possibility to recover all the losses."
The man straightened his clothes and declared proudly with a very disdainful tone, as if he was the one standing looking down.
"Give me five days, I will definitely find the precious experimental subject, and I will continue the research. I know what you really care about, isn't it the National College Challenge in three months? Don't worry, you are thinking about it.
Her six-star combat power will not be lost, she just went out for a walk, can't you be more patient with the young lady you raised with your own hands?"
Several people high up in the hall looked at each other and fell into silence.
The principal crossed his hands on the table and kept rubbing the bridge of his nose with his thumbs, unable to hide his anxious look. At this time, the secretary behind him suddenly leaned forward and handed over a tablet computer.
"Sir, urgent news."
The above is an encrypted email from the intranet.
He clicked to check it, and within three seconds of reading it, he put the email in the trash.
She was still cursing and muttering: "What kind of big-breasted and brainless woman actually told me that a six-star evil soul might have been given a soul contract by a student with level 1 soul power? Damn it, Marde Staff!"
"
He threw the computer to the secretary with his backhand, and then slammed the voting button in the upper right corner of the table.
Suddenly, a bright light shone on him.
"As of now, there is no other better way. We must be wary of other universities taking advantage of the situation. The 'God-making Project' is the most important. It is urgent to recover the losses. I am personally very reluctant, but I have to give Director An one last chance.
Chance."
After a few seconds of silence, another strong light illuminated a man with a fat head and big ears, followed by his very unhappy voice.
"I have no objection, but he must cooperate with my people to investigate the accident in detail, and then sign the compensation contract to me. He must be responsible for recovering all losses suffered by the school this time!"
Everyone looked in the middle at the same time. Director An smiled slightly, bowed his head, and made a very standard gentleman's courtesy. He said sternly: "Of course there is no problem. I will fully cooperate with the investigation. All losses caused by the research will be eliminated."
Save the school.”
As soon as these words came out, a bright light lit up again in the high seat of the meeting hall...
...
As soon as Lin Xiao walked out of the lounge, he was surrounded by several students waiting outside.
There were two boys and three girls in the same class as him, and they rarely spoke to each other.
As soon as these people came up, they asked the teacher with great interest what he had just told him, how he used that S-level soul skill before, and what the secret was.
Lin Xiao understands their feelings very well. Anyone who sees a low-level student who usually has no sense of existence suddenly shows off in the most important soul skill class and masters a super powerful soul skill should not be able to control his heart.
some little emotions.
"Well, I'm sorry, it was really an accident just now. I really used it accidentally."
He now knows the seriousness of the matter and will never use that trick again easily.
However, these people refused to believe it.
"Accident? Stop teasing me, okay?"
"If you don't want to say it, don't say it. There is no need to make such excuses."
"You don't even know what your talent is, how can you pretend to be here?"
I'm pretending? Then don't get involved, haha.
Lin Xiao didn't bother to meet them, so he went directly to find Meng Ziran.
She was at the practice table in the corner, still trying hard.
But it doesn't seem to be going well.
Seeing Lin Xiao approaching, she directly made a 'please' gesture.
"Let's start. You attack me with the move you just learned. I'll see if I can dodge it."
"But we have to agree first. It should be difficult for me to succeed this time."
"It's okay, just try your best."
Lin Xiao shrugged, put on the sensor on the other side, and started trying.
Of course, this time he wouldn't be able to use it 'no matter what'.
Meng Ziran was also very patient and kept waiting for him.
When the students saw their condition, none of them wanted to practice anymore and gathered from the side to watch.
Dai Motao came out of the lounge wearing a sports coat. The loose coat was bulging. When she saw this, she came over and watched.
But Lin Xiao was so determined that he had no way to use that move again.
Ten minutes passed.
The students who were watching nearby dispersed, and their voices became louder and louder. No matter how hard they tried, Lin Xiao never succeeded again.
They were too lazy to watch anymore and went to find a table to practice by themselves.
Dai Motao also got busy, giving guidance to the students who asked her for help, but Lin Xiao knew that her attention was always on herself.
Just waiting for him to use that trick again.
Meng Ziran has also been waiting. At first, she was very puzzled, thinking that Lin Xiao was deliberately entertaining her. She was holding back her anger and planned to teach Lin Xiao a lesson that she would never forget.
But after thirty minutes, she noticed that Lin Xiao would show a slightly strange look in her eyes from time to time, and then she suddenly reacted.
Could it be that Lin Xiao was reluctant to use that trick again because he had to worry about someone?
She was a little unsure and continued to observe.
Then she kept observing like this until the end of get out of class, and she was finally able to confirm this guess.
This Lin Xiao is actually guarding against the teacher!
The ringtone for the end of get out of class was a melodious classical waltz. She took off the sensor, walked over and said to Lin Xiao: "Forget it for this class."
Lin Xiao, who was seizing the last moment to practice soul control skills: "Huh?"
"Forget about the soul skills class this afternoon. At eight o'clock in the evening, I will wait for you in the practice room b2051 of the Soul Taming Hall."
After she finished speaking, she left without giving Lin Xiao a chance to refuse.
Lin Xiao wanted to catch up, but was squeezed back and forth in the rush of people. The surroundings were noisy, and even when he called her, he didn't seem to hear him.
"Wait a minute Meng Ziran, I'm not a Soul Controller yet, so I can't enter this place at night!"
However, Meng Ziran did not hear his shout and disappeared directly at the end of the crowd.
Lin Xiao shook his head, sighed, and stood there helplessly waiting for a while before being the last one to walk out of the classroom.
But as soon as he turned the corner of the door and was thinking about whether to catch up and explain to Meng Ziran, a thick arm grabbed his shoulder.
"You can tell me the secret that so many people couldn't tell you just now, right?"
