The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

"A-level mission? Is it so urgent?" It could be seen that Schneider went out specifically for this mission. Manstein sat down at the table, noticed the other person's turbid but cold eyes, and quickly asked: "What is the goal? A level dragon?"

Kassel Academy's tasks are divided into different levels just like blood. The priorities from high to low are ABCDEF level...and special tasks above the level are designated as "S" level. Generally speaking, there is a corresponding relationship with the bloodline rating of the required specialist.

Since there are no E-level or F-level low-blooded hybrids in the Kassel Academy headquarters, the tasks of E and F levels are actually non-dangerous things such as procurement, maintenance, and news gathering. Starting from D level, Only then will there be targets with dragon elements.

When it comes to the level of A-level tasks, Norma estimates that there is a high probability of casualties or failure among specialists with A-level pedigree when performing this task. At least a few A-level executive officers and elites will be needed. Finish.

This is indeed a relatively rare and difficult task, but there must be at least a few of them within a month, so as not to make Professor Schneider seem a little anxious.

"Probably a noble among the pure-blooded dragon clan, a rare high-risk target." Schneider dragged a small car in his hand and walked to the center of the main control room. His voice was low and hoarse, making people's hair tremble.

His face was covered with a black mask, a gas pipe led to a cylinder on the car, and his neck was covered with dark red scars. His breathing was low and sticky, like a broken bellows, and his iron-gray eyes glanced coldly, which was intimidating.

The experts and interns in the central control room immediately lowered their voices and spread out in all directions to avoid disturbing Professor Schneider's speech and movements.

"A noble among the dragons?" Guderian woke up at the right time, lifted the nightcap with a Pikachu pattern on his head, and said with some surprise: "Noble dragons of the third generation and above, and dragons of the fourth generation and below. There is an extremely significant class gap among ordinary dragons."

"High-level dragons who started from the third generation of species can hatch again and come back to life as long as they prepare their 'eggs' before death and complete the 'cocooning' of their souls. Their lifespans are far longer than human imagination, so they are Known as the 'ancient species'."

"As for fourth- and fifth-generation dragons, due to genetic degradation, when they are about to reach the end of their lifespan or are seriously injured and dying, they will take the initiative to build a dragon tomb and enter it to sleep for a long time, waiting for thousands of years. post-recovery.”

Guderian added: "But this must be done when the body is relatively intact. If the nervous system is completely destroyed, it will fall into true death like normal organisms."

"The higher the level of dragons, the stronger their vitality." Schneider nodded slightly: "The executive director has been searching for hidden dragon tombs in Egypt, Mexico, South American rainforests, XJ, Greenland and other places for many years. The vast majority of ordinary dragons three generations later Disguised as a mummy or an ancient corpse, he still lay motionless in the coffin after thousands of years. It was not until he sensed great danger that he suddenly revived. He greeted the enemy with an incomplete posture, and was then eliminated by the elite commissioners in the dragon tomb. Finally, die."

"But the real high-level dragons are different. They have the ability to cocoon their souls. Without worries, they usually behave very actively. Even if their bodies are completely destroyed by the dragon slayers and disappear into ashes, they can still be resurrected and come back to spread their love to humans. Brutal revenge."

"In the history of the secret party, there are many records of third-generation dragons, second-generation dragons, and even first-generation dragon kings being killed by humans." Schneider looked solemn: "However, most of these high-level dragons just fell into a cocooned slumber. It has been confirmed that there are only a few cases where the dragon and cocoon were destroyed together."

"There is always a kind of life in the world, and every time it dies is to return." Manstein quoted a record from "The Fragments of the Ice Sea": "It is said that the rebellious nobles among the dragon tribe will be tied to bronze pillars. He was sunk into the deep sea and swarms of dragon vipers devoured him and the bronze pillars. Because nobles could be resurrected through cocooning, this was seen as a form of torture, and those who endured it were cleared of their crimes."

"But in this A-level mission, we may have the opportunity to completely kill a newly resurrected high-level dragon." Schneider laughed hoarsely: "The target is resurrected in human form, and is likely to be in a state of amnesia. It has not yet had time to form a bond. Its cocoon.”

At this point, he made a gesture.

The 3D projection image changed. The 5-meter-high virtual earth disappeared and was converted into a multi-faceted black and white video shot by a surveillance camera. It was densely packed with snowflakes and the clarity was extremely poor. One could vaguely identify a beautiful girl in ancient costume who was following the video. Passersby talk.

Schneider put his finger into the projection and quickly clicked on another audio. A vague female voice came from it. It sounded like it was filtered out from the background sound. It was a bit like the Chinese that Cassel College had started to popularize a few years ago. , but no one present could understand it.

"This is a video captured by a roadside camera in Huaxia Binhai City a few days ago, and there are also several clips intercepted from the phone recordings of nearby passers-by."

Looking at Manstein and Guderian who looked a little confused, he explained seriously: "After Norma's in-depth analysis, the target's clothing and speech pronunciation all have a lot of characteristics of the Pre-Qin period. Specifically, It should be a Yue custom in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods."

"You mean, this girl who politely asked people for directions is actually a high-level dragon that fell into a deep sleep more than two thousand years ago and has now come back to life?" Manstein quickly figured out the clues: " From a geographical point of view, Binhai City in the southeastern region did belong to the territory of the Yue Kingdom at that time."

"But why are the ferocious and cruel dragons so polite when communicating with the locals?" Guderian yawned and asked: "From the surveillance video, the other party even has the good habit of helping the old lady cross the road. This It’s incredible.”

"Is there a possibility that she is just a middle school girl who likes to wear traditional clothes and is imitating ancient pronunciation?" He touched his head and whispered uncertainly: "I heard that this kind of special dress is used in R is also called cosplay, which doesn’t seem to be that unusual.”

"I've never seen a middle school girl who doesn't go to school all day long and moves around the city faster than an Olympic champion." Schneider switched the projection to a 3D map of the city, with red lines marking the signs of girls appearing on various surveillance cameras. At this point in time, it became a large piece:

"According to statistical data analysis, the fastest moving speed of the target between the two monitoring probes is at least 5.23 seconds for meters. This is at least a sprint performance that can only be achieved by an A-level hybrid. Without a speed type spirit, ."

"In addition, Norma has never found any matching girl in the identity information registered in several surrounding cities, including Binhai City." Schneider gave his conclusion: "Therefore, there is no doubt that this is a The dragons that have only been resurrected have incomplete memories and are in a state of adapting to integrate into human society."

Some dragons will lose their memory during repeated cocooning and resurrection processes. If they are resurrected in human form, they will mistakenly think that they are humans, and even live in human society for many years.

Every time these high-level dragons wake up, their power is incomplete at first, and they don’t even have memories. Like hybrids, they need to go through a process of understanding their own lineage, but once they regain their memories, they become dragons and will not be entangled. What exactly is he.

"In ancient times and modern times, the resurrected dragons only needed to rely on their innately powerful spirit and create illusions by simply looking at each other with golden eyes, so that ordinary people could accept their existence, and thus lurk among humans secretly, and gradually regain their integrity. strength."

Schneider said hoarsely: "But in modern times, with surveillance and strict identity registration, the camouflage ability of dragons has begun to lag behind the times, and it is difficult to complete the lurking without any flaws. The power of human technology has made the cause of dragon slaying a success. Unprecedented progress.”

"In fact, it's not just the academy. Through some means, the 'Hunter Market' discovered the target's anomaly earlier." He opened a new screenshot and slowly added: "It was on the Hunter website Norma made this series of in-depth analyzes after noticing this post offering a $1000 million reward."

"The hunter ID who posted this mission is actually a dead person." Schneider continued to pull out a bunch of data: "Just yesterday, this senior hunter had a conflict while conducting an arms transaction in Lbia and was blown away by a rocket. So this is a ghost account that is about to be canceled.”

"The person behind the scenes is likely to be Nido, the mysterious administrator of the hunter website, or a hidden organization secretly intervened to cause the hunter's death and seize the account... This further increases the danger behind the mission, which means There are forces outside the academy intervening."

"Some inexplicable things are involved in this matter." Manstein said: "It's really annoying. It seems that we have to complete this task as soon as possible."

"Anyway, in order to deal with ancient species with mysterious abilities, in order to reduce the casualties of the executive department commissioners, the principal should personally take action." Guderian said irrelevantly: "We only need to follow his instructions. "

"However, when it comes to resurrected high-level dragons, dragons that haven't had time to cocoon, and even need to compete with a large number of hunters who are eyeing the target, is such a task only A-level?" Manstein asked.

"Actually, it's enough to reach S-level." Schneider pressed his hand on the mask: "It's not marked as S-level. It's just because the principal has been busy recently and can't come in time. The execution department is not sure how to deal with the second-generation and above targets. It needs to be done first. We need to investigate it and confirm its specific rank."

"In addition, we must also block aggressive hunters and prevent them from using dangerous methods."

"A high-level dragon that has not awakened its memory was stimulated by external attacks to regain its strength, and then went on a killing spree in the city. This will undoubtedly be a more serious disaster than the one in the Greenland Sea, and will also mean the existence of the dragon. Leak on all fronts.”

"We must never let a pure-blood dragon leave our surveillance. The first choice for them is to capture them alive, and the second is to kill them. If this kind of thing is out of control, the whole world will be turned upside down." Schneider said slowly with a cold look in his eyes.

Two years ago, during the Greenland incident, a mysterious creature suspected to be an ancient dragon froze the entire sea, and the only survivor was Schneider. Although he survived by chance, his face and respiratory system were still destroyed by the extreme cold, rendering him a ghost and a ghost, and he had to wear a respirator for life.

But what pained him even more were the students who sacrificed their lives. Most of the people who followed him on missions were students under his name. Schneider was very passionate about education and was always surrounded by outstanding students.

After that, his personality changed drastically. He completely gave up his education work and transferred to the execution department. In the battle against dragons, he used extremely tough methods. This is not atonement but revenge, and it is for this reason that Schneider received strong support from Principal Angers.

"So this mission is just a preliminary intelligence investigation, consistent with the goals of those hunters?" Manstein suddenly realized: "It's urgent. What kind of equipment does our nearest commissioner to Binhai City have that can support immediately?"

The experts on the side were already prepared and reported: "The 2003 students Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki, both of A-level descent, are from the Department of Alchemy Machinery and the Department of Dragon Clan History respectively. They are studying in another building more than 2003 kilometers away. City holiday travel... There is also an outstanding student who came to the college from R Ben branch in , Yuan Zhisheng, A+ grade pedigree, philosophy department, who is taking a flight from country M to R Ben. He is about to arrive in Tokyo and can immediately transfer to fly. Go to the target location."

"Why are they all students? It's too unsafe." Guderian muttered: "Especially the young student Yuan, who is not very close and is an outsider from the R branch. Why send him here?"

"Because there are not many A-level students who have free time, and when they reach the A-level level, even though they are still students, with the blessing of their blood and spirit, their real strength is already stronger than most of the commissioners of the Executive Department."

Schneider whispered: "Judging from the performance of the internship tasks in the past two semesters, Yuan Zhisheng can be regarded as one of the best people in the college. It is said that he independently eliminated out-of-control high-risk hybrids before enrolling, and has obtained He has learned the teachings of the Kyōshin Akechi-ryu and is quite proficient in cold weapon warfare - you should know that China is a country that bans guns, and it is not easy to use powerful guns. Besides, these students all have yellow faces, and they should be better than White people who are easily exposed are more suitable for the mission of this investigation." "Of course, in order to ensure the safety of this mission, a group of A-level senior instructors will arrive shortly afterwards, carrying support materials, Frigga bullets, mercury Core blunt gold armor-piercing bullets, dragon's breath bullets, etc., work together with the students."

"If it is discovered that the target is not a dragon, but a high-level hybrid with a probability of less than 1‰, the commissioners will terminate the mission in time and change to another form of contact." Schneider said: "However, this possibility is too high It’s too low, otherwise I’m looking forward to recruiting new students so that the executive department can have new aces.”

"Oh, I really hope that the target is actually a homeless, wandering S-class hybrid, so that I can have a chance to be appointed as a tenured professor." Guderian, who didn't care about the affairs of the Executive Department, said lazily, and wrote again. Wear a Pikachu-patterned nightcap.

"Come and watch the evening news in Binhai City." At the same time, an intern who was looking for relevant information suddenly found a suspicious news broadcast by the local media on the Internet and immediately called others to come over and analyze it.

……

At the same time, in a small coastal town 18,000 kilometers away, no one expected that through the analysis of clues, Kassel College actually thought that it was a resurrected high-level dragon.

Relying on strong artificial intelligence and supercomputers that far exceed the current technological level, despite the lack of individual high-end combat power, the secret party and the academy do have the capital to carry out dragon-slaying missions around the world.

On the 21st floor of Runde Building, a group of people finished counting the materials of "Millennium Labor Export Company", the personal collection and property amount of the boss Tang Wei.

"The available liquid assets are about 78 million." Chu Zihang, who looked like a good student, leaned on several large bundles of hundred-yuan banknotes and reported with an unchanging expression: "Among them, gold bars and cash accounted for three. Two-thirds of it, plus several high-value properties..."

For him, even though he is the third richest stepson in the city, it is the first time he has seen so much cash. Generally speaking, Chu Zihang's stepfather Lu Tianming seems quite generous, but in middle school At this stage, with food, clothing, housing and transportation all taken care of, his monthly pocket money is only a few thousand, and it is estimated that he will only be able to relax significantly after going to college.

This is also the reason why Zhao Qing did not take the Lu family's property into consideration when he established the outpost in this world. The tens of millions of money Tang Wei could use immediately was actually enough to accomplish quite a lot of major things.

Opposite Chu Zihang, in addition to the original three companions, there was also a figure that seemed to be condensed by holy light. It was Zhao Qing who had come from afar. Although he seemed to be just the incarnation of light and shadow, he still had a lot of charm. The ability to take objects and touch entities.

Thanks to the ice crystal white cloud that was transferred from the sky above Runde Building, this kidney body spirit that she differentiated can not only communicate with the main body in real time, but also control water that is several times stronger than normal. It circulates vitality and condenses water vapor into gel, simulating the form of a real person.

In the just period of time, Zhao Qing easily hypnotized and soothed the emotions of dozens of security guards and front desk girls, allowing them to go home and take a nap first, forgetting the extraordinary elements in the incident where the company was robbed. , and still choose to work for the company that will be reorganized next.

The purpose was to let Ding Ning and Nangong Caishu come over to get used to it and prepare for further tasks. She also took the time to order a meal from KFC, which was open as usual during the typhoon, and treated everyone to a feast, while reminiscing about the familiar things from the past. taste.

The more important thing is naturally to deal with the bounty missions on the hunter website, and carefully check the only two hybrids on hand, Chu Zihang and Tang Wei, to preliminary analyze the dragon blood in them. Mystery.

In addition, in the modern information society, Zhao Qing also immediately ordered a series of computer equipment, preparing to supplement her previous research on computing power to develop an "artificial intelligence" that could compete with Kassel College's Norma. .

"Don't worry about the permanent loss of this money." Zhao Qing turned to the decadent "Third Young Master" Tang Wei and said lightly: "By cooperating with our Kunlun Salvation Society, your future gains will be far beyond A third-rate 'hunter' level."

"Kunlun Salvation Society?" Chu Zihang raised his hand and asked: "What is the action goal of our organization? How many members are there? What is the real world like?"

"Good question." Zhao Qing smiled slightly and replied: "As the name suggests, the purpose of the 'Salvation Society' is naturally to save the world that is in crisis of destruction and preserve the splendid human civilization in the world. The members of this organization are actually There are many, but only a few come into this world.”

Why does it sound so arrogant, preaching the threat of annihilation, like an illegal religion? However, the mythical Odin has appeared. It is difficult to say that there are no other gods and ghosts in the world, and there is no so-called "Twilight of the Gods, the end of the world".

Chu Zihang was deep in thought and continued to ask: "Last night, I witnessed the god-king Odin in Nordic mythology taking away the life of my biological father. This senior, do you know the relationship between him and his men? Information about Dark Shadow ‘Deadpool’?”

"At present, it seems that Odin, the 'god' who lives in the Nibelungs, should be inseparable from the dragon clan that ruled the world in the past." Zhao Qing introduced: "You must already know that your bloodline is related to Most people are a little different, and they have also seen many scenes from ancient times."

"Existences like you and Chu Tianjiao are usually called dragon blood descendants or hybrids. They are hybrids that are passed down from generation to generation after humans and dragons hybridized in ancient times. Most of them are on the side of humans and have nothing to do with the Black King Ned. The various dragons created by Hogg are in a hostile relationship."

She glanced at Tang Wei beside her: "The most prominent feature of the mixed-race species should be the golden pupils that can release dragon power. If the bloodline is not bad, there is a chance to awaken what is called the 'Word Spirit' or 'Truth Word'" The special power of magic."

Tang Wei's golden eyes can scare away many monsters when digging ancient tombs involving dragon elements. Such performance should not fail to meet the bloodline standard of the Awakened Word Spirit. It is most likely that it is domestic for wild hybrids. Training is not taken very seriously, mainly because of the family power.

Although Kassel College also recruits students in China and has a special preparatory class, it is not likely to be large in scale. It has only initially established a Chinese branch, mainly recruiting alumni relatives and wild hybrids that were accidentally discovered. .

In fact, except for Caesar Gattuso, no one else from the "mongrel wealthy family" where the secret party's elder and the college director belonged was admitted to Kassel. This was also the reason why Caesar's reputation was somewhat broken The reason why he easily became the king in the academy.

One of Zhao Qing's next goals is to dig out wild hybrids like Tang Wei and snatch away some of the outstanding blood descendants who would have joined Kassel College. By analyzing the nature of these people's speech spirits, he can surely obtain A lot of gains.

"Judging from what you described earlier, the Word Spirit your father has mastered is an extremely rare and powerful 'Time Zero'. In the newly established foreign rating system in the past hundred years, it belongs to the highest level S-class hybrid species. ."

Zhao Qing said calmly: "As for the enemy he faced last night, Odin was a bit mysterious. He was suspected to be an existence at the level of the four major monarchs or even higher in the Dragon Clan. There is currently very little information. However, the black shadows around Odin have nothing to do with it. The question is Deadpool, who is usually transformed from an out-of-control hybrid and is controlled by a high-level dragon."

"When Odin appeared, he said that he would open the 'Road to the Gods' for us." Chu Zihang recalled the details of last night and asked solemnly: "The so-called 'Road to the Gods' means starting from the hybrid race. Become Deadpool, a servant of the dragon?"

"There should be quite a difference." Zhao Qing replied: "Because the meaning of 'Road to the Gods' seems to be to allow hybrids to evolve into real dragons and become almost 'god'-like existences."

"The vast majority of Deadpools are far from comparable to pure-blood dragons. They have lost their minds and are almost like dead people. They also have no ability to use speech spirits during their lifetime. Only a very small number of high-level Deadpools are among the high-level dragons. Under certain means, you can maintain your sanity, still use your spirit of speech, gain a longer life, and even become more powerful than before."

"If Odin did not lie, based on the value of your father's S-class hybrid, he probably did not really die, or was transformed into a high-level deadpool, or entered the path of becoming a dragon... and eventually became something like The existence of heroic spirits in mythology.”

"No matter which one it is, it will probably take a certain amount of time to change."

"Here is an analysis of the two major tasks you need to complete." Zhao Qing said with a smile: "The first is to collect enough information about dragons and hybrids, develop a method to reverse the 'deadpool transformation', and crack the 'road to becoming a god' ' principle; the second is to try to break into Odin's Nibelungen and rescue Chu Tianjiao from the prison in the 'Hall of Valor'."

Legend has it that the main god Odin had already anticipated the "Twilight of the Gods". He ordered his maids to go to battlefields around the world and select brave warriors to reserve troops for the doomsday battle.

These maids, known as "Valkyries" or "Valkyries," rode their horses through bloody battlefields, kissed the lips of dying warriors, and carried their souls to the Hall of Valor.

In that luxurious palace with 540 gates, each of which can accommodate 800 warriors side by side, the warriors train combat skills all day long. Even if they die on the training ground, they can be resurrected. At night, they are served by the Valkyries. Eat large pieces of meat and drink wine from large bowls, and drink the milk of the divine sheep.

Until the day when the doomsday comes, 540 doors open at the same time, and all the heroic spirits in human history swarm out and rush to the battlefield where they must die.

The high-gloss scenes in Nordic mythology are tragic and majestic, coupled with the imaginative element of "The Kiss of the Valkyrie", it is impossible not to impress people.

"That man, will he become a heroic spirit in the Hall of Heroes?" After learning the relevant information, Chu Zihang was obviously a little surprised and found it difficult to accept. However, compared to Chu Tianjiao's complete death, this ending is undoubtedly much better. .

As for rescuing men from Odin, he actually doesn't think much of the so-called "Kunlun Salvation Society". No matter how you look at it, this is just a grassroots team that has just been established. At present, there are only a few people who seem to have emerged from a place isolated from the world. As a young man, his first capital had to be robbed.

Nangong Caishu, who performed best in the battle just now, although he is invincible among ordinary people, is still far behind compared to the big scene of Chu Tianjiao holding a knife in the crowd of dead servants, and may not really be able to take revenge on him. How much help is provided.

So Chu Zihang thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever heard of a university named 'Kassel'?"
