Chapter 175 Witness History
In Chicago, at the main campus of Cassell College, it was noon and the sun was shining brightly.
Lu Mingfei was sitting on the bed, struggling to read a book called "Detailed Explanation of Dragon Genealogy" borrowed from the library. This was a habit he developed after his second year of high school. It was necessary to look at the books related to the course in advance.
He doesn't think he is a genius, but as of now, he has been recognized by the school as an S-level student similar to Gu Ye, so he doesn't want to tarnish Gu Ye's reputation.
According to his speculation, Lu Mingze must have had his own plan for being so generous in giving him two powers. Although Lu Mingfei didn't know the specific reason, he would definitely not let himself be eliminated from the 3E exam.
So he was not worried at all about failing the exam. At least the test paper would be full after it was over. If he failed, wouldn't Lu Mingze have given him two instructions in vain?
Through reading books, Lu Mingfei also learned about the Word Spirit. The first instruction provided by Lu Mingze was "something for nothing". Although he had no personal experience, he was able to fight back and forth with two A-level Word Spirits while unconscious. The power was at least not lower than that of the Word Spirits below Sequence 50.
After paying so much, what exactly do you want to exchange? Lu Mingfei was a little confused when he thought of this, and the most crucial point... another command, "black sheep wall", the map is fully opened, where will it be used?
"The Riddler, get out of Gotham..." The more he thought about it, the more headache he got. Lu Mingfei really hated this kind of weird guy. He hated the Riddler the most when he read the Batman comics. Now that the same character appeared in reality, he was really speechless.
A shrill beeping sound filled the corridor, just like the alarm in the movies when a thief was startled. Lu Mingfei put down the book in his hand quickly. Finkel, who was sleeping soundly beside him, sat up from the bed like a spring and subconsciously put his pants over his head.
“Why can’t I see!!”
"You're wearing the wrong clothes..." Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched, and he walked out of the door to the corridor with some curiosity. The red light on the ceiling was flashing, and the shrill beeping sound came from the loudspeaker hidden in the wall. Students were gathering towards the elevator from the various staircase exits, all wearing school uniforms and with serious expressions.
"Classmate, what happened? Fire drill?" Lu Mingfei grabbed a student who was running out in confusion.
"Emergency, gather at the library!" The student left quickly without looking back.
"The first thing to do when enrolling in Kassel Academy is to read the Emergency Manual. Since its establishment, this academy has been ready to deal with various emergencies related to the dragon clan. This alarm indicates a sudden emergency and summons senior students to gather in the library." Finkel walked out of the dormitory, rubbing his messy hair and patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder.
"Let's go, it's your turn as an S-rank player."
"Is it an emergency?" Lu Mingfei murmured to himself, and Lu Mingze's smiling face suddenly appeared in his mind. Could it be that the second instruction was used at this time?
"So you don't have to go?" Just as Lu Mingfei was about to go out with the group of students, he saw Finkel sitting at the table with his computer turned on.
He was only wearing a pair of trousers, his shirtless body showing off his muscular body, and he was fingering his butt while clicking on the Night Watchman forum.
"What am I going to do? Brother, have you forgotten that I am F-level?" Finkel said without turning his head.
“Damn, I forgot you’re just an F-grade loser…” Lu Mingfei held his forehead helplessly, but thanks to his explanation, he finally knew where to go.
"It's good to be a loser. At least I won't lose internship points for not being able to attend roll call during an emergency..." Finkel whistled and looked at the time on the notebook.
"There's only ten minutes left to gather. If you don't go now, you'll be late, okay?"
"I haven't heard of such a saying..." Lu Mingfei quickly walked out the door, but heard Finkel's shouting.
"Don't forget to bring me a bottle of Coke!!"
Forget it... this senior brother is hopeless, Lu Mingfei shook his head. He seemed to see his former self in Finkel. When looking in the mirror, he always sighed that he was so unlucky before. No wonder Chen Wenwen looked down on him.
Lu Mingfei followed a group of people into the library and entered the main control room. Before he had time to catch his breath, he saw Caesar in school uniform, expressionless, striding in. Behind him were the student union cadres with equally expressionless faces. Each of them was holding a briefcase in his hand, as if they were attending a joint chiefs of staff meeting.
Chu Zihang had already arrived. All the senior students were divided up by the Lionheart Society and the Student Union, sitting on the left and right sides, keeping to themselves.
Lu Mingfei counted them quietly. There were thirteen people in total, all above grade A. The only people who were not divided up by the two major clubs were him, the Indian guy, and the petite girl who looked familiar to him in the 3E exam.
She sat in the front row, still leaving only her back to everyone. The professors occupied the remaining seats, with Professor Guderian, Professor Manstein and Professor von Schneider of the Executive Department looking grim.
"There are 13 students, 12 in A grade, 1 in S grade, and 27 professors. They are all here." Professor Manstein said to Professor Schneider.
"Start immediately." Professor Schneider dragged his ventilator to the wall and glanced at everyone. His ferocious face, half covered by a black mask, made the surroundings quickly quiet down.
"Everyone, we need your help. Right now, another S-class member of ours and a member of the executive department are trapped in a dragon ruins. We have just obtained important information from there, but the mechanism has been triggered and the way in and out is blocked. They have encountered the dragon clan, and we must find a way out for them as soon as possible." Professor Schneider's voice was low and fast, and it seemed that every second really had to be saved.
"Judging from the images sent from the scene, it is very likely a second-generation species, or even... a Dragon King. If we can't provide the information in time, they will be in great danger." As Gu Ye's mentor, Professor Schneider knew his abilities, but if it was just a second-generation species, it might be okay. In case it was a Dragon King, he didn't know if Gu Ye could survive.
After all, according to ancient records, the words possessed by the Dragon King are of world-destroying level. Even though Norma has deduced that the Dragon King is still an egg and has not awakened, this is just an inference. Schneider will not think that his students are safe just because of an inference.
After all, the last wrong inference had already cost him a serious price. Schneider subconsciously touched his mask. The stinging pain that came from him all the time was far less torturous than the nightmares every night.
Gu Ye is in trouble?! Lu Mingfei's pupils suddenly contracted. He had only seen descriptions of the Dragon King in books, but every time this existence was mentioned, it was accompanied by huge historical changes, the fall of dynasties, or the advent of disasters.
Lu Mingfei couldn't imagine how insignificant humans would be in the face of such a thing, but what he knew was that Lu Mingze was right...
Professor Schneider pressed a switch on the side, and the two sides of the teak bookshelf on the high ceiling moved away, revealing a giant screen that was a hundred inches in size.
A huge three-dimensional simulation image appeared on the screen with rulers on the corners. Everyone gasped. It was a small city made of bronze!
"The palace of Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, is an ancient relic. Some of you are related to him. Here is a picture of dragon text taken by executive member Jiu De Aki. Based on our speculation, we think it is actually an inscription about the casting of this bronze city. I hope you will concentrate on reading it." Professor Schneider said.
"Do you hope that one of us can resonate with it and have clairvoyance?" Caesar asked from the side.
"Yes, it would have taken us ten years to decipher it. But they are in danger! Please hurry!"
"Got it!" Chu Zihang spoke first. He quickly took out his notebook from his bag and connected the data cable without any delay. He then deftly took out his student magnetic card and swiped it through the card slot in front of him.
Lu Mingfei looked at his profile. He could not see any emotion from his poker face, but his slightly trembling body revealed his nervous heart.
It seems that I am not the only one who is worried about Gu Ye... Lu Mingfei retracted his gaze, quickly found the card slot on the table, and swiped his student card.
The desktop opened and a tablet computer appeared. The screen lit up and a guide page appeared. A 3D image of a girl emerged. She was wearing a white gauze dress like a pajama, with long flying hair. She bowed lightly towards Lu Mingfei.
"S-level freshman Lu Mingfei, it's a pleasure to serve you. As time is running out, I have configured the operating interface for you." The girl's voice came from the headset, the window flashed quickly, and the StarCraft interface appeared on the screen.
"You are familiar with this interface, right?" EVA said.
"Use this. All reading, moving and storing can be done with a single click. You can get started quickly."
"I understand..." Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment and then returned to normal. He looked at the map and clicked lightly.
At the same time, other students and professors also entered their respective operation interfaces. At the same time, a giant blue dome composed of pictures appeared on the big screen. Lu Mingfei stared at it in amazement. Is this Long Wen? This is a big tree!
How to use the command? Should I read it out loud? Lu Mingfei looked at the virtual keyboard on the tablet and subconsciously pressed the enter key, and the input box popped up immediately.
Aboard the Monyach.
"Have you reconnected with them? Where are they now?" Professor Mans asked seriously.
"We've contacted Ye Sheng, but the signal is very unstable. However, they are still alive. I'll switch the channel now." Selma quickly switched the communication channel.
With a crackling sound, Ye Sheng's breathing sounded again in the headset, and Professor Mans breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the student is still alive!
"Ye Sheng, how are you doing now? I have contacted the school and will provide you with a map soon. If we delay a little longer, as long as it follows you to the surface of the water, we will have a chance..."
"Professor, I'm fine..." Ye Sheng interrupted Professor Mans with a trembling voice. Professor Mans felt something was wrong from his voice. It sounded like he had seen something that he could not accept?
"We have arrived at Norton's palace in Baidi City. Now Gu Ye... is fighting a creature that looks like the Dragon King..."
"And..." Ye Sheng looked at Gu Ye who was blocking the giant dragon's claws in the distance. The excited smile on his face did not diminish. He punched the bronze mask of the dragon, and bright sparks appeared immediately.
"He has the upper hand... We may be witnessing history, the history of humans capturing the Dragon King alive..."
The cabin fell into silence. After about ten seconds, Selma spoke in a dry voice.
"Is this... S-rank?"
