If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 36 Archives

Manstein opened the door of the library. The library was silent late at night. The dust particles on the long table were blown up by the breeze brought by the door, and were completely visible under the moonlight from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The camera hidden in the corner was aimed at the uninvited guest. After infrared face recognition, Norma's gentle voice sounded in the library: "Professor Gerd Rudolf Manstein, the night is already deep, don't you?" Do you know if there is anything I can do to help you?"

"Is the janitorial department off work yet? I didn't see anyone watching the night in the library where there are so many important materials." Manstein walked into the library and closed the door.

"It's been two hours since the last security guard got off work. From twelve o'clock, I will be fully responsible for the security work of the library." Norma's female voice echoed throughout the empty library: "It's early morning It's two past three, do you want me to turn on the lights in the library?"

"No, no need, my destination is not here, Norma, take the innermost elevator and I'm going down to the archives." Manstein said.

"What is the purpose?"

"Recently, there were some low-level errors in a file I submitted to the Information Department for filing. I need to correct some details of the file."

"The correction of the file belongs to the director of the Information Department. Unless it is an emergency, I am afraid that you do not have permission to enter the file room in Manstein's classroom."

"The emergency is related to the pedigree rating of a student. If his pedigree rating drops because of a mistake in my file induction, I will be ashamed and consider taking the blame and resigning." Manstein said lightly.

The pedigree rating in Kassel College is indeed a major event. The pedigree rating of students will affect all kinds of cumbersome things. Once there is a mistake in this, if you want to correct it, you will involve a lot of troublesome related institutions.

"Application for permission, Professor Manstein, you have 'A' level authority, the elevator leading to the archives is in operation, your visit this time and all borrowings and transfers in the archives will be kept on file."

The elevator light in the back of the library was on, and Manstein walked all the way without saying a word, with his hands behind his back, and just when he came to the elevator, there was a pleasant ding.

The Academy of Kassel does not exist only in the ancient castles on the mountainside as it appears on the surface. Few people know that the academy located on the surface is only the shallow half of this school, and the other half exists in Ward alheim In underground fortifications such as , ice cellar, and archives.

The location of the archives room is above the ice cellar, where there is a lot of information related to dragon slaying secrets, which is managed and summarized by the Information Department. All students in Kassel College have their own files, from birth to burial, If you are lucky enough to jump on this land, then everything you do will be recorded in this file, but due to the principle of the Ministry of Information, these files are often criticized by students For black history.

The elevator descended to a certain depth and stopped. Unfortunately, there was no elevator music on the way. Since leaving the surface, the environment Manstein lived in was as quiet as stagnant water. He didn't hate this environment. On the contrary, he felt A sense of long-lost intimacy, the place where he grew up was several times more suffocating than this.

The elevator door opened, and the dark red light illuminated Manstein's face, and the archive room was illuminated by infrared light. Everything in the dim red looked rigorous and dull. There are countless brown paper bags placed on the iron gray cabinet frame, and each brown paper bag is sealed with a symbol representing the safety level.

Everything in the archive room is made of moisture-proof and insect-proof aluminum alloy, and ultraviolet sterilization is performed every three days. If a mouse enters here by mistake, it will only starve to death.In addition, all the aluminum alloy cabinets where the archives are placed have been installed with high-voltage electricity and gravity sensing devices by Norma. Unauthorized browsing will trigger alarms and defensive measures. If the intruder does not die on the high-voltage electricity by luck, then Next, the janitorial department who came over because of the alarm system will also make him want to die.

Manstein did not step out of the elevator in a hurry, but waited until the red light in the filing room went out after a "click", and then went out when the bright white light came back on. Without taking a second look, I went straight to the student file partition.

Every student will have two identification numbers when they enroll, which are the student number and the file number of the executive department. For example, the student number of his student Mandy is Al082321B, while the file number of the executive department only takes the last digit of 082321B.

The first four digits of the file number represent the month and day of birth, the next number is the serial number, and the last letter is the blood class. For example, Mandy was born on August 8, the 23st mixed race entered in the file that year , blood class is B.

Manstein clearly remembered that Norma mentioned that Lin Nian's student number was Al052044, and the primary file in the file number of the executive department was classified as A-level blood, so his file number of the executive department should be 052044A.

Without hesitation, Manstein went straight to Area A. The guys in the information department were all obsessive-compulsive, not only classifying files according to bloodlines, but also deliberately separating current students and graduates, which greatly benefited Manstein saved a lot of time. It didn't take much effort for him to stand in front of the cabinet where Lin Nian's files were stored, but at this moment he was surprised to find that the cabinet was empty. Here the brown paper bags are missing.

A cough suddenly sounded in the silent file room. It was very powerful, reminiscent of a patient suffering from severe tuberculosis in a hospital. Every cough was so hoarse and exhausting, as if the vocal cords were cracked and bloodshot with the cracking cough. .

Manstein was no stranger to this voice. There were very few people in the academy who coughed so vigorously, unless this person accidentally entered the fire scene while performing a mission. There was only one person in the academy who coughed like this due to his own reasons.

Executive Minister, von Schneider.

A hybrid who needs to carry a ventilator with him to survive.

Manstein turned sideways. At the end corner of the cabinet, a tall and thin man stood there. Under the pure black suit was a scar that looked like a burn. A black mask covered half of his cheeks, revealing a There was a cold and sharp knife-like light in his eyes.

"Professor von Schneider, I didn't know it was such a coincidence that you were also in the archives tonight." Manstein's face twitched, but he kept calm anyway.

I remember someone on the night watchman forum elaborated that the head of the executive department has always been a person who appears elusive. If one day he suddenly appeared in front of you, then it is likely that you violated party discipline, and then you will be purged with cruel iron fists.

"It's not too coincidental. I just happened to see someone enter the library late at night and use the elevator leading to the ice cellar. I thought it was some ignorant student trying to steal some alchemy bullets from the ice cellar, but I didn't expect it to be Professor Manstein." Schneider said, "I'm curious why you came to the archives so late?"

"A student's file, there are some low-level mistakes I made, if not corrected, it may affect his pedigree rating." Manstein said.

"Then you should be looking for this." Schneider raised his left hand, which was blocked by the shelf, and held a stack of transparent sealed folders in his hand. Inside were archives in black and white, and Manstein could see them at a glance. A three-inch photo of Lin Nian printed in color at the beginning of the first document.
