An unmanned boat docked quietly on the shore, shaking gently with the waves of water, without any cable constraints, but unexpectedly not washed away by the water flow.
Below the boat, the bottom of the water is dozens of meters away from the water surface.
In a huge air bubble, several "crows" sat cross-legged and looked up. The wall of the bubble film was reflecting the empty and quiet battlefield deep in the silent forest. In the center of the battlefield was a bare hill. At this moment, most of the soil layer outside the hill had been stripped away, revealing the exquisite structure like a pyramid inside.
The leader of the crow spoke very slowly and reminded his companions: "...The scale of this experiment is very large. The professor ordered that the relevant data records and collection must be accurate, so I hope that everyone here will not be distracted by some unexpected situations and focus on their respective goals."
"Don't you save someone?" The other crow just said these words and received the sharp eyes of the crow, and his tone suddenly became weaker: "I mean..."
"Our task is to record data!" The head crow looked around and emphasized word by word: "Even if the sun falls, the earth cracks, and the world is destroyed, we only need to focus on our tasks. This is the emotion that a qualified researcher should have. We must remain calm and objective from beginning to end in order to capture the accurate number that flashes through during the experiment... Do everyone understand?"
"clear!"
All the crows bowed their heads together and looked at the notepad that was holding them in their arms.
...
...
The distance to the boat is dozens of miles away.
In the canopy of a lush locust tree.
There were also several wizards wearing black robes and crow masks hidden. They seemed to have a few feathers, floating among the extremely thin branches, looking at the direction where the illegal laboratory was.
In the cold winter, the sparse leaves cannot cover their striking figures, but the birds passing by the branches seem to be unable to see them, flapping their wings and chirping beside the two figures.
One of the cyan birds screamed differently because it spoke human language.
"...This mission is jointly performed by the First University and the Three-Chain Sword. The mission code is "Breaking the Shell". It is composed of a special tactical team of the teaching team, a patrol team of the school working committee; a crisis support team of two Three-Chain Swords, and three ordinary hunting teams... Your mission goal is to prevent the 'special experimental subjects' from falling into the hands of the school or the Three-Chain Sword... For this reason, even if you are exposed, you will be willing to do so!"
"Received!" The crow in the head agreed in a low voice.
The blue bird tilted its head, and its dark eyes revealed a hint of humane emotions: "The attitude is a little hesitant? I heard a hint of hesitation from your voice."
The other crows were tense at the same time. Although they did not look back, they all raised their ears and cheered up their spirits.
The crow in the lead glanced at the green bird deeply and touched his shoulder.
"Death turns us into angels, and makes wings grow from our shoulder blades like crows." He whispered the passage that every crow knew, but his tone was not a trace of fanaticism, and seemed very calm: "We must break through the shackles of the rules, become angels, and pursue eternal and noble truth..."
The green bird restrained its wings and softened its eyes again. With the other crows, he followed the crow and chanted the following words softly:
"...I am willing to follow the footsteps of those real knights of the past. In the deep sleeping wilderness - a horse walking. My destiny will be closely linked to moving legends, and following my own beliefs will be my lifelong act."
...
...
From the canopy tree, it is diagonally upward for dozens of miles again.
Between the sun and the earth.
A huge gray-white crow spread its wings and stopped steadily among a thick gray cloud. In its open eyes, it reflected the small hill with its peeled shell and the figure of every hunter near the hill.
Two wizards wearing crow masks sat quietly on the back of the gray crow, with their eyes closed, like stone sculptures. The wizard sitting in front was slightly thin, and his wide robe was clattering on him, with a few gray hair flying around the edge of the black mask. The wizard sitting behind him occasionally entered and out between the sleeves of the wizard. When the birds rose and fell, two dark golden numbers of "zero three" could be vaguely seen under the edge of the mask being leaked under the hood.
"This time the school has also transferred the Yusin Hunting Team back." The eyes of the No. 3 crow sitting behind the back turned slightly, as if he had noticed something, and muttered in a low voice.
As soon as he said that, he was torn to pieces by the strong wind around him.
The crow sitting in front of him tilted his head slightly: "What?"
Crow No. 3 quietly opened a gap in his eyes, looked at the back in front of him, hesitated for a while, and finally said in a low voice: "Professor, didn't you say before that you wanted them to join the crow?"
"That's right."
"That……"
"After this mission is over."
The crow's back became quiet again, but the silence did not last long. The crow No. 3 couldn't help it again, moved its butt forward, and asked carefully: "But professor... I heard that the legitimate sons of aristocratic families like Tianmen Zhang or Zhong Shan Jiang have some special 'safety measures' on them..."
"Just don't touch them."
"Eh?" Crow No. 3 obviously did not keep up with the rhythm of the professor's conversation and was stunned for a moment.
"If you want to control a fire dragon, you don't need to control every scale of it." The professor still closed his eyes, his voice was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted into the ears of crow No. 3: "We only need to control its reverse scales, and it will truly tame... By the same token, if we tame a hunting team, we only need to catch the reverse scale in the hunting team."
Crow No. 3 turned these words around in his mind, thinking about who would be the "reverse scale" of Yusin Hunting Team.
"Do you know why I took you so high?"
The professor's question made Crow No. 3 immediately straighten his back, subconsciously sit more straighter, and shake his head with a very small amplitude, then realize that the professor was facing his back to him at this moment.
But the professor seemed to see his movements.
"On the one hand, it is naturally because of this 'golden cicada escape' that the plan to make the crow disappear from the public's eyes again is planned and arranged by you. You need to control the overall situation from a higher position; on the other hand, if this experiment is successful, I will try to complete the advanced ceremony of the great wizard before the start of the next semester. During this period, I hope you can take on more responsibilities. Compared with Ruiwen and Hu Yin, you are more secure in your work..."
“Would it be a little too hasty?”
The third crow interrupted the professor very rarely, and his tone did not have the joy of taking over the "crow", but instead had unconcealed anxiety and seriousness: "Our experiment has just reached the second phase, and more data is needed to compare... You should not take risks with your own mind on such things!"
This time, the professor was silent for a long time.
"The school gave me an offer that I couldn't refuse."
He sighed softly, but his tone was very firm: "That proposal can help us go further on the road to exploring the truth... But that proposal needs to be a great wizard to accept... As I told you before, everyone is following their beliefs... You can take risks and sacrifice, and so can I."
