Chapter 221 Unexpected Discovery
"Is the strike and march interesting?" In a restaurant near the train station, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask as he looked at Xia Mi who was eating heartily.

He had only seen this kind of scene on TV before, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, it was already over, so his curiosity was aroused and he subconsciously wanted to get some more details from Xia Mi.

"It's quite interesting..." Xia Mi stopped, picked up the water cup beside her and took a sip of water, then she spoke slowly as if recalling the past.

"In the first few days, it was from here to the city center, and in the next two days, it was in front of the city hall. Everyone wrote their own slogans, and the most important thing is... some people even provided free food and water."

Could this guy really be participating? Seeing Xia Mi's confident look, Gu Ye began to doubt whether the one in Hua Xia was Xia Mi.

But on second thought, if the one in Huaxia was not her, where could she find a substitute for the Dragon King who could open the Nibelung at will? You know, although the four dragon kings were also born from the Black King, the relationship between them is not that good, not to mention that the other two kings are now gone.

"It's really interesting. It sounds like some kind of large party." Lu Mingfei said thoughtfully.

"In a sense, it's not wrong to say that. After all, we all have the same goal." Xia Mi shrugged, and Gu Ye wiped the corner of her mouth for her.

"Let's eat well. We can talk about anything else after we book a hotel."

"Huh? Have you booked a hotel?" Xia Mi suddenly turned her head and stared at Gu Ye.

“Does this count as opening a room?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Zihang's eyes seemed to light up in an instant, and even Lu Mingfei began to make faces and make "oh~" sounds to cheer him on.

"Where else can we stay if not in a hotel? The train to Kassel won't arrive until tomorrow." Gu Ye rolled his eyes at Xia Mi and turned his head away.

"Did you forget that we won't be at school until tomorrow?"

"Ahem..." Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang both looked away at the same time.

Hyatt Regency Chicago is a hotel located on the banks of the Chicago River. Here, you only need to look out from the balcony of the guest room to see white cruise ships slowly passing by in the water. It is the best choice for many tourists.

"Hello, four rooms, thank you." Gu Ye took out the college's black card and spoke to the hotel's front desk.

The fat black waiter at the front desk took a look at Gu Ye and started to check for empty rooms, while also confirming with Gu Ye.

"Four rooms, sir. Do you want one near the river or a normal room?"

"It's better to be near the river."

"Okay, then..." Chu Zihang interrupted the waiter before he could finish.

"I think four rooms are a bit of a waste. If it's just for one day, we should save as much as possible. The college won't reimburse us for the expenses." As he spoke, Chu Zihang poked Lu Mingfei, who was staring at the hotel's interior decoration, without making any expression.

"Ah... yes! Senior Brother Chu is right! Why waste this money? Senior Brother and I can squeeze in, and Brother Gu, you can just room with Xia Mi..." Lu Mingfei smiled and winked at Xia Mi calmly.

Xia Mi, on the other hand, gave a thumbs up to Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang behind Gu Ye, as if praising their cooperation.

"You guys...we have a good relationship, we don't need your help." Gu Ye sighed. Although he said this, he turned around and changed his words to the waiter.

"Really? I remember you were like a blockhead before." Chu Zihang complained expressionlessly.

"That's right, it took me so much effort to make this blockhead come to his senses." Xia Mi finally found someone on the same side as her. She jumped out from behind Gu Ye, put her hands on her hips and started complaining.

"So what's the progress between you and Susie?" Gu Ye counterattacked instantly.

"..." Chu Zihang fell silent for a moment. Seeing this, Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei, ready to ask him for support. Who knew that this guy actually started looking at the decoration of the hotel again, with an fascinated look as if he had seen some precious collection.

"In that case, please change it into two rooms." The reactions of several people made Gu Ye couldn't help laughing. After thinking about it, he changed his words to the waiter.

Anyway, there are still some things I want to ask Xia Mi, so this is just right, so that I don’t have to be gossiped about by them when I go to see Xia Mi in the evening.

"Is this what you should be satisfied with? Let me make it clear first, you're just staying for one night and nothing will happen. Don't ask me any unnecessary questions tomorrow." Gu Ye said.

“Understood!” Lu Mingfei replied instantly.

It was not until Gu Ye checked into the room and followed the waiter upstairs that he secretly took out the iPhone given to him by the little devil from his pocket. Under Chu Zihang's gaze, he took a picture of Gu Ye and Xia Mi's backs holding hands.

Humph, now that we have the decisive photo, who would be so blind as to choose to interfere in the relationship between Gu Ye and Xia Mi? Whether I give it to Finkel or post it to the college forum myself, it will definitely be the headline of the news tonight.

"Brother Chu, why are you staring at me?" Lu Mingfei put away his phone with satisfaction, but saw Chu Zihang's eyes staring at him.

"Don't get me wrong! I just...want to tell those fans that Gu Ge's girlfriend has come to Kassel. I don't mean anything else..."

Lu Mingfei explained nervously, fearing that this paralyzed senior brother would misunderstand his slightly vulgar behavior. Since Chu Zihang had been training him all this time, he was still quite afraid of this senior brother.

But unexpectedly, Chu Zihang actually smiled, which was rare, and patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder.

"Well done. Oh... remember to send me a copy of the photos." After saying this, Chu Zihang caught up with Gu Ye and the waiter who had already walked away.

"I was so scared. I forgot that the senior brother with expressionless face was the most gossipy one." Lu Mingfei scratched his head and quickly followed.

Half an hour later, in Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei's room.

Gu Ye was flipping through an ancient book annotated with "Emerald Record". This was a reference book for the third-level alchemical chemistry course, and it was also a new course for him and Chu Zihang this semester, so he would discuss the problems in the book with Chu Zihang in a low voice from time to time. Of course, in addition to the school courses, there was another reason. Some things in the Emerald Record were indeed proven to be feasible, but Gu Ye successfully awakened the Soul Lotus Skin because of these short ten sentences.

So this time he planned to see if there would be any new discoveries in the textbook. Chu Zihang, like Ming before, was just doing the preview subconsciously.

"I say, why are you wasting such good time reading books? Why don't we go out and play?" Xia Mi lay in Gu Ye's arms and couldn't help but speak.

It was her suggestion to come here, thinking it would be more lively with more people around. However, she didn't expect that after Gu Ye came, he started learning from Chu Zihang, which made her feel a little bored.

"There shouldn't be anything fun to do in Chicago right now, right?" Gu Ye stopped flipping through the book and spoke.

"Would you like to play cards?"

"I won't..." Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang said in unison.

"Is that so? Then there's nothing we can do." Gu Ye sighed. Chu Zihang must be not interested in this on weekdays, and Lu Mingfei...it is very likely that no one can come to his house for a party, so he is not good at this kind of party game at all.

“How about we play connect-the-dots online?” Lu Mingfei suggested.

"Forget it...your suggestion is even more boring." Xia Mi shook her head and poked Gu Ye's chest with her fingers.

"I got it..." Gu Ye suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

"How about we take a look at what's in the mission information?"

"Isn't this a bit bad?" Lu Mingfei asked hesitantly.

"After all, this is something the school board needs. If we peek at it, will they blame us?"

"Don't worry, if they blame me, I'll just say I was the only one watching it, and they won't do anything to me," said Gu Ye.

He was indeed a little curious about the mission information. What on earth made the Gattuso family so anxious? In addition to curiosity, he also wanted to learn as much other information about the academy as possible before a quarrel broke out, so as to prevent any trouble before it happened.

The most crucial point is that after being in contact with Kassel Academy for so long, Gu Ye no longer regards it as an ordinary school. He also wants to use this as an excuse to make Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang aware of some of the filthiness of it. By then, even if he leaves the academy, the two of them will not be used as a gun by the academy because they are on guard.

"We share happiness and hard times... Since you want to see it, just open it and have a look." Chu Zihang shook his head, as if he didn't like what Gu Ye had just said.

"I have no objection." Lu Mingfei said.

"Then open it and have a look..." Gu Ye took out a file bag from the bag beside him and poured the contents onto the table. The bag contained photocopied documents and a stack of information.

Picking up the photocopied document printed on the transparent film, Gu Ye looked at it carefully. It seemed that they were all photos of crime scenes. There was one photo that he was very familiar with. It showed a Maybach abandoned on an overpass.

"Sure enough..." Gu Ye muttered to himself and handed the film to Chu Zihang.

"It seems that every supernatural event has been recorded by China... I guess the academy should know about it as well."

"This is normal..." Xia Mi said in a low voice.

"The academy has a preparatory class in China. It exists not only to select students with excellent bloodlines, but also to monitor every half-blood that may pose a threat. Otherwise, why do you think the half-blood families in China did not protest against the school's blatant opening of a branch in their territory?"

“It’s all just an exchange of interests…”

“That is to say, we have entered the academy’s vision very early?” Lu Mingfei seemed to be thinking about something.

Gu Ye continued to flip through the information. What remained were some Chinese families' research on ancient alchemy, which was probably the same approach as purifying bloodline. The concepts of inner and outer alchemy were also proposed.

The so-called inner elixir seems to be similar to the Lionheart Society's blood-exploding technology. As for the outer elixir... they can actually extract their own dragon blood, purify it, and then make it into pills to swallow, which greatly reduces the risk of becoming Deadpool.

"It's really amazing, the mixed-race people in China..." Gu Ye couldn't help but sigh, as expected... no matter which world it is, one's own country always likes to develop secretly.

"Wait... this is..." Gu Ye's pupils shrank, and he took a stack of strange information in his hand. They were all student resumes, and each resume was stamped with a special red lacquer seal. The words on the lacquer seal were... "Nibelungen Project".

"Nibelungen Plan?" Chu Zihang picked up a document, looked at the lacquer seal on it and read it out loud.

Didn't Ange tell me that I was the only candidate for the Nibelungen Project? Even Caesar was only added later, so what was going on? Gu Ye fell into deep thought.

"Very good, you are worthy of it..." After a moment, Gu Ye seemed to have thought of something. Looking at the information of Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei in his hand, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Gu, what does this Nibelungen Plan mean?" Lu Mingfei asked with some confusion.

"The Nibelungen Project is a bloodline strengthening plan led by the school board. They will select elites from students above grade A and give them special training... This is what Principal Angers told me." Gu Ye explained.

"But after seeing these materials, I suddenly realized that it should be more than just strengthening bloodline."

If the screening was for people above S level, why were there so many A-level profiles? Not only Xia Mi, who had just enrolled in the A-level class, but even Chen Motong and Su Qian were on the list.

Apparently they had something else in mind...
