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

A few hours later, in the suburban section of the coastal town, a six-seater extended Hummer off-road vehicle was speeding on the airport expressway. Late at night, heavy rain fell, and the headlights ripped through the endless black curtain. Water as high as a person's height splashed on both sides of the wheels. wall.

Sitting on the third row of seats in the Hummer, Minamoto was wearing a long black trench coat and a black baseball cap. The lining of the trench coat was a brilliant ukiyo-e painting. He was handsome and somewhat feminine, and his fair skin had a marble-like texture. Texture, eyebrows straight.

Although he had just come off a late-night red-eye flight, he was still in high spirits, with the clear light of a sword in his eyes, and seemed to be ready for battle at any time.

Next to Yuan Zhisheng, there were three black-covered aluminum alloy boxes.

Except for his own suitcase containing "handicraft" knives, the others were all kinds of equipment provided by the Equipment Department of Kassel College and supported by drone airdrops from the nearest branch.

Opening the box, guns, ammunition, flares, and grenades were neatly arranged. Some bullets had red warheads, which were Frigga bullets that caused coma. Some bullets had black warheads, which were used to kill dragons. Mercury-core blunt gold armor-piercing bullets, and some bullets have general-purpose brass bullets.

Considering that this mission is mainly for exploration and to stop some dangerous hunters, there may not necessarily be fierce conflicts. Other boxes also contain special tear gas grenades, flash bombs, rope guns, stun guns, static bombs and other very special items. Regular weapons.

While Yuan Zhisheng was checking the equipment, a tall and lanky young man in the second row of seats turned his head and handed him a thin bulletproof vest from the gap in the seat.

"'Battlefield Survival Course II' mentioned that when facing a gun threat while on a mission, if you have a body armor, you must put it on." Ye Sheng was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and a military green vest with a bunch of pockets. Wearing loose jeans and a pair of travel shoes, he kindly reminded me.

In the driver's seat of the first row, there was a sunny girl sitting in a red plaid skirt and a loose white sweater. She often looked at the situation in the back row through the rearview mirror.

"Before you go on missions to earn credits, you still have to ensure safety." She took out a thermos cup filled with hot water and a few tea bags from the seat next to her, and asked Ye Sheng to pass it to the person in the back: "Drink some tea tonight. , can refresh your mind."

On a dark, wet and rainy night, being able to drink such a cup of heart-warming hot tea is undoubtedly the most timely enjoyment, although it does not conform to the cumbersome etiquette of the Japanese tea ceremony.

Seeing that this thermos cup even had his name written in Japanese, Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He felt that although he was the "Emperor" among the descendants of the White King and had absolute superiority in force, he was in turn being used by his fellow soldiers. Did they take care of the two senior students?

"I heard that if you complete an 'A' level internship, you can get a lot of grade points, a GPA of 4.0, a scholarship of tens of thousands of dollars, and the opportunity to have afternoon tea with the principal."

As if he thought Yuan Zhisheng was silent because his beautiful college summer vacation was suddenly interrupted, Ye Sheng continued: "When I officially join the executive department, my initial specialist rating will be higher."

"By the way, with the friendship of the same team performing the mission, when Aki and I travel to Tokyo next year, you have to treat me as a host!"

It is the custom of Kassel College that freshmen must participate in an execution department operation in their first year, allowing them to witness first-hand the battlefield of fighting dragons or deadpools. The executive department also took the opportunity to examine the psychological quality of the freshmen.

Within the scope of the college, the vice-principal has been enforcing the rule of suppressing the spirit of speech all year round. Students cannot exercise and need to go out to practice to master the effect of their speech spirit.

However, considering that there are three to four hundred freshmen each year, there are usually not that many suitable tasks. Many students can only dig out the existing dragon ruins and visit the magnificent dragon creations full of literary and artistic colors.

There is really nothing to arrange. It is possible to go to the Chicago Zoo to volunteer to take care of the crocodile pool and study the evolutionary history of reptiles. It can be regarded as completing the annual internship course.

However, can those trivial tasks, mainly carried out by the official commissioners of the Executive Department, be on the same level as this operation to explore and revive high-level dragons?

Does anyone really think that slaying dragons is an interesting and passionate thing? How simple was these two guys' internship mission last year? Didn't they even see the difference between life and death?

There are also extra credits and grade points. This is not important at Cassel College, which is actually a military institution. What matters is only strength... What grade points does a powerful person care about?

People in my family who have been to Kassel for further studies often say that the undergraduate program at the college is a paradise for lunatics, with all kinds of strange flowers growing there, which are not often seen on weekdays. But now it seems that it is indeed true.

Yuan Zhisheng frowned and murmured crazily in his heart. He always felt that he was a bit out of place in this action group.

He recalled the photo of Shikatori Shrine in the wallet he carried with him, and hesitated for a moment: "...Of course I will warmly entertain you...but I'd better complete this mission safely first."

"As the team leader of this mission, I also have something to remind you two." Yuan Zhisheng said seriously: "During the subsequent formal exploration process, don't stay too far away from me, otherwise it will be difficult for me to protect you. "

……

After some time, the Hummer turned off the elevated road and drove smoothly along the quiet tree-lined road.

The rain was pouring down, and a group of three people looked out through the car window. A lake located near a villa area on the outskirts of the city was hidden in the rain curtain at the end of the road.

This made everyone think of the clear lake "Sea of ​​Fairies" near the college. Its name comes from the fairy in the lake who presented the broken steel sword to King Arthur in Celtic mythology. The tall buildings in the business district further away are like is the lush redwood forest that surrounds Kassel.

While drinking tea, Minamoto took the time to send a few messages back to his father Tachibana Masamune, Sakura, Crow, and Yasha, saying that he would bring them some local specialties after the mission was over.

It was at this time that the trio's mobile phones vibrated at the same time. This was new mission information sent by Norma, including the execution plan carefully designed by Professor Schneider.

According to Kassel Academy's knowledge, there has never been a resurgence event in R's territory, and there are no remains of dragon civilization. It is the "cleanest" area in the world, with no dragon activities at all.

Therefore, even though Yuan Zhisheng easily killed several out-of-control high-risk hybrids during last year's internship mission and has considerable combat experience, the academy still urged the group in every possible way and informed the group of many precautions.

Taking this opportunity, he also specifically emphasized to Ye Sheng and Shuode Aki the terror of high-level dragons: "Almost all high-level dragons are proficient in alchemy, which is the science of dragons, and there are alchemical items hidden in cemeteries and hatcheries. …”

"In addition, high-level dragon bloodlines can be keenly aware of hostile people around them. Once they find a target, they should not show obvious emotions during the exploration process, even from a long distance."

"'Word Spirit Study II' mentioned that high-level dragons usually master two or more high-level word spirits, and can also use the incomplete Emperor of Word Spirits to shock the minds of low-level dragons and hybrids and achieve temporary control. The enemy’s effect…”

"More importantly, under the influence of Emperor Yanling, the resurrected ancient species can summon nearby deadpools and dragon subspecies, making them his own army." Shutoku Aki, who majored in dragon history, began to let The car gradually slowed down and he added:

"During the historical event known as the 'Summer Mourning', the Cassel Manor, the secret party's headquarters, was attacked by dragons at night. A dragon king-level enemy sneaked into the manor, and a group of deadpools summoned by dragons came from outside. Surrounding them, Lionheart will fall into a deadly battle..."

"Later scholars generally believe that if they had not been attacked by dragons and deadpools from inside and outside, and had just faced the first-generation species alone, the Lionheart Society would not have been completely wiped out. There would be only one survivor, the principal, and the human race history will change accordingly."

"Considering the dangers of the Deadpool Legion, the first step of this exploration mission is to search for hidden places in this city where dragons and Deadpool may be hidden." Ye Sheng said: "If I were The most likely place for that dragon to hide is at the bottom of the lake."

"Ye Sheng's word spirit is the 'snake' with serial number 18. It can detect the surrounding environment from a long distance through electrical signal transmission." Shu De Aki kept the Hummer at a speed close to ordinary people's walking and drove around the lake nearby. , took the initiative to introduce: "As for my speech spirit, it is the 'Quietness' of No. 54."

Generally speaking, only the student's tutor and principal have the right to access a student's spiritual file, but in order to perform their tasks, the two did not hesitate to reveal their biggest secrets.

Are they really all auxiliary speech spirits? Yuan Zhisheng was not surprised, because he had already seen that the two people in the same group obviously had no fighting experience.

The Silence of Words and Spirits can filter or eliminate all sounds in the field. It can be used for latent and covert communication. It is equivalent to the sound version of "Mingzhao". In addition to perfectly restraining "Kamaita", it can also cover up the sound of gunfire. It can be considered a good assassination spirit.

If it can be superimposed with the optically invisible Yanling Mingzhao in the field, this will be an almost invincible rhythm. No matter how fiercely one's own side attacks, the enemy will not be able to find the target's location.

However, as far as Minamoto knows, in terms of scoring in the battlefield survival class, Shutoku Aki is mainly proficient in dagger-type combat weapons, rather than firearms-type long-range weapons. On the contrary, Ye Sheng once used a submachine gun to fire A large number of enemies were defeated.

With deep thoughts in his mind, he hesitated for a while, and then took the initiative to speak: "My word spirit is actually of no use. It's called 'Amaterasu', and its effect is to glow slightly, inspiring the surrounding companions. If it's daytime, it can Replenish some energy like a solar charge.”

This is naturally a lie made by Minamoto to keep his high-risk word spirit king secret, but the useless bonus effect of "Amaterasu" is not a lie:

As a blood source seal that can only be awakened by "Imperial Blood", it should theoretically have amazing abilities. Unfortunately, perhaps because his gender does not match the legendary "Amaterasu", it does not appear on him. It's of no use.

The owner of this generation's "Tsukiyomi no Ming", Eri Uesugi, can indeed be blessed by the ancient god Tsukuyomi. Under the illumination of the moon, the power of the words released is doubled.

Ye Sheng and Shude Aki felt very sorry that one of the strongest students in level 03, Yuan Zhisheng, had awakened such a useless word spirit that was not recorded in the textbooks. However, Ye Sheng among them could no longer comfort him. Because he is on the way to release the spirit snake.

"Snake" is Ye Sheng's spiritual ability and Ye Sheng's helper. Usually they sleep in the depths of Ye Sheng's mind, and only Ye Sheng can wake them up. Like thousands of scouts, they explored the surrounding situation for Ye Sheng.

In the scientific explanation, "snake" is a kind of biological electric current, but in the dragon's understanding, they are the slaves surrendered by Ye Sheng.

In a low-resistance environment, such as the current heavy rain weather and the water body of the nearby lake, the "snake" will be many times stronger, and nearly half of the lake is under Ye Sheng's surveillance.

Ye Sheng's consciousness followed the "snake" into every crevice under the water, all the way down, and then down again. Ye Sheng opened his eyes, and there was a faint golden light flowing in his eyes.

He observes the world with the eyes of a "snake". In his eyes, the world is composed of countless tiny tubes. The tubes meet and separate, extending infinitely. His "snake" travels through the tubes, and everywhere he goes is filled with gray fog. , this is a hopeless, gray world.

While exploring the water, Ye Sheng's body was trembling slightly, his face turned gray, and his heart rate dropped to thirty beats per minute. He was as fragile as a baby. If it weren't for the heavy rain, he wouldn't have to dive into the water. I'm afraid there will be a lot of dangers.

When Aki Shutoku slowly drove the Hummer around the lake, Yuan Zhisheng took out two ancient alchemy knives "Spider Mountain Fierce Night Sword" and "Child's Cut Anzuna" from the suitcase, and his sense of hearing and smell improved. To the extreme, be ready to deal with enemies who may be stimulated by the "snake" and rush to the lake.

The dragon's blood flowed through his body, making his five senses several times or even dozens of times more sensitive than humans, enough to detect the slightest movement nearby despite the interference of heavy rain. Nearly an hour passed. Ye Sheng, who had turned on his spirit spirit several times and interrupted his rest and recovery due to exhaustion, finally ended the investigation.

The reason why it took so long is because "Snake" is best at searching for conductive metal objects, specifically targeting dragon ruins that often use a large amount of bronze, rather than monitoring creatures in dark water through a narrow field of view. .

"No monsters like dragons or deadpools were found, only some common grass carp, carp, crucian carp and the like. The fish's behavior is relatively regular, which shows that it has not felt the mental pressure of the dragon clan recently."

Ye Sheng drank the tea in the thermos cup marked with his name in one gulp, felt his body warm up, and reported: "It seems that the disappearance of dragons since last night is not because they are secretly hiding in this water to give birth to dragon bodies. This should be That’s a good thing.”

"But this also means that the possibility of dragons hiding in urban areas increases." Yuan Zhisheng reminded: "This is a much more complicated place than the bottom of the lake with no obstacles. If you want to use the Spiritual Snake to find the other party's traces, It’s almost impossible.”

"The newly sent documents from Norma, the secret party's confidential files on the ancient species operations, and brief reports on past dragon-slaying missions." Shutoku Aki handed Ye Sheng some food to restore his physical strength and waved his vibrating mobile phone: "It should be the order issued by the execution department after the news was reported just now."

"Are you asking us to find inspiration from these documents and guess the possible behavioral tendencies of dragons?" Ye Sheng smiled slightly: "But for novices like me and Ya Ji, most of them can't come up with any ideas. It can be read as a story.”

The mission report of the secret party slaying the dragon? Knowing that this was a secret document that the Sheqiba family had never had access to, Yuan Zhisheng was also shocked, and then he read it carefully.

According to decrypted documents, in the past hundred years, according to the statistics of the secret party, apart from the suspected dragon king-level targets and unopened top-secret files, there are a total of four second-generation species and 37 third-generation species known to have been resurrected, on average every two years. one more time.

In other words, although this mission is only marked A-level, it can be regarded as a dragon-slaying event that occurs once in several years. It has a great impact. Once word spreads, it will definitely attract the attention of hybrid forces around the world.

The last third-generation dragon species discovered by the secret party involved an S-class mission in southern Africa more than three years ago.

After the target recovered, his memory was probably still incomplete. He hid in the gold veins, used gold as food, and relied on various manifestations to become the god of wealth worshiped by the local indigenous people. His body's muscles and bones were permeated with gold elements.

Due to eating too much gold, the dragons' mobility was significantly reduced due to their excessive weight, and they became clumsy. As a result, when they were discovered by the Executive Department and mobilized elites from several nearby branches to besiege them, they were struck by an alchemical weapon specially made by the Equipment Department. The missile hit him on the spot, and his body was shattered into pieces. The fragments looked like pure gold.

Even so, before dying, the dragon still forcibly awakened his complete memory, restored his bloodline to its peak, and released a very powerful high-level word spirit "Split Mountain", triggering a 6.5-magnitude earthquake and mountain landslide. This resulted in the deaths of dozens of B- and A-level specialists.

Then, several mixed-race local natives angrily captured the remaining executive department commissioners alive. They believed that these outsiders had killed the gods, so they demanded compensation. If they could not compensate for a new golden dragon beast, the executive department personnel would be killed. Hang them in a cage until they die, and it is said that they can be used to stuff sausages or something...

In order to cover up this incident and resolve the conflict peacefully, the college used five tons of gold to cast a dragon beast model as a gift to the indigenous people in exchange for the captured commissioners.

To this day, this golden statue still stands deep in the dense forests of southern Africa. US military spy satellites have mistaken it for some kind of missile launcher several times.

The last dragon resurgence incident... In fact, the dragons did not recover at all. It was the secret party who discovered that when Switzerland was drilling an underground tunnel in the Alps, the giant tunnel drilling rig was scratched by a spherical rock with a special texture in the rock formation. And this stone, which is as hard as diamond, is actually the egg of a high-level dragon.

It's hard to imagine how dragons could place their eggs hundreds of meters underground. The tops are covered with hard rock layers that have been deposited for hundreds of millions of years. There are very few cracks. Not even dragon claws or any alchemy tools can dig them out. Come through the passage.

Unaware of the preciousness of the dragon egg, the contractor blasted the rocks blocking the road and shattered most of the egg. The dragon embryo inside died tragically before it could be forcibly revived.

This is also one of the few cases where high-level dragons have been successfully and completely exterminated. However, the Secret Party did not provide any assistance at all. It was entirely a coincidence.

After transporting the incomplete dragon egg back through the channels of the Gattuso family, after much research, the academy confirmed that the egg should originate from a third-generation species of the King of Earth and Mountain faction. The dragons were hiding the eggs. At that time, some high-level speech spirits that had not been recorded were used.

"Why do you feel that the behavior of dragons in this series is quite strange and weird?" Thinking of the Dragon King Attila in the dragon history class, Yuan Zhisheng thought secretly in his heart and continued to look through the earlier secret files. , and noticed some amazing things.

For example, the Pearl Harbor attack launched by Japan in World War II awakened several sleeping dragons on nearby islands. After the secret party cleared them away, they followed the clues and discovered that there were hundreds of dragon tombs hidden in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Especially in the Marshall Islands, a large number of dragon clan relics of the King of Ocean and Water series have been discovered, and there are even ancient dragon hatcheries. There is no doubt that there should be one or more second-generation species that are giving birth to huge dragon bodies here. .

In order to eliminate major threats here, under the influence of the secret party and the Henkel family, the United States established a Pacific test site in the Marshall Islands from 1946 to 1958. During this period, the US military tested a total of 67 nuclear bombs in the islands.

One of the ancient dragons, which was nearly a hundred meters long, was killed by the 1500-million-ton nuclear explosion of Cheers Castle.

Also slaughtered in the follow-up was a second-generation species who disguised himself as a human and wanted to infiltrate the US military for revenge. He was suspected to be the former's brother and was jointly killed by powerful S-class hybrids such as Angers and Beowulf.

"It turned out that the secret party had such a record... it actually used such violent means to bury the resurrected ancient dragon."

Seeing a series of dragon killing records during this period, Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but think of the two atomic bombs that ended the ambitions of the Snake Qi Eighth Family during World War II. Mingxiao may have been a reminder from the academy to him, the young master of the Yuan Family.

I warn that no matter how rapidly our family develops, it cannot be compared with the secret party that controls a large number of nuclear weapons and secretly controls some military forces in Europe and the United States.

You know, several experts who built the world's first atomic bomb are still working in the Equipment Department of Cassel College. They have been researching for so many years, and who knows what terrible weapons they have created?

But speaking of it, with this kind of nuclear explosion, maybe the divine burial place deep in Gaotianyuan can be completely destroyed and the source of evil spirits can be cut off?

……

"No traces of dragons were found in the lake. The next step is to go to a place where a 'supernatural event' related to the mission occurred and conduct on-site investigation."

After a while, Norma sent a message, explaining the new instructions from the execution department: "According to known intelligence analysis, many deadpools have appeared in that location. It needs to focus on the details, find out the details, and install some monitoring equipment."

"In addition, focus on the Bronze and Fire Lord series in the archives. After many aspects of analysis, the high-level dragons of this series should be more inclined to wake up when the water element is rich, because it can cover up the fire element that they spontaneously form when they wake up. Turbulence."

"Understood." Everyone stopped checking the dragon-slaying records and responded while preparing for the next stage of the mission's destination - the paddy fields near the No. 10 Viaduct on the outskirts of the city.

"In addition, your follow-up support, a 'Decapitator Team' composed of veteran executives, has officially arrived." A new message was displayed on the mobile phone, informing the three-person team that the mission pressure was about to be greatly reduced.

"Decapitator Squad?" Understanding the meaning of this term, Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

The so-called decapitators are the type of specialists with the strongest individual combat skills. They are often the ones who come forward to execute those murderous people who have been controlled by dragon blood and cannot be saved. They must be A-level elites with outstanding records and are equipped with amazing power. weapons and equipment.

A fully armed decapitation team is even expected to handle extremely high-risk S-class missions, second only to those S-class executives on the gray list whose names and mission records have been erased.

Due to the extremely side effects of the King of Word Spirits, Yuan Zhisheng, who is just a fledgling student, after watching a large number of tragic dragon slaying records, does not feel that he can compete with such a high-end combat power, especially when the opponent's equipment is fully loaded. .

However, this also means that as students, the safety of the three-person team is more guaranteed, and there is no need to take risks.

And when Yuan Zhisheng held this idea and left with Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki, in the lake that had been searched, a pair of red-gold dragon pupils suddenly opened, illuminating the darkness deep under the water. , a ferocious iron face can be vaguely seen.

Around this hidden dragon, dense white silk threads are wrapping it up, forming a lonely cocoon. Judging from the size of the cocoon, the dragon is obviously not gestating a huge body, but rather like another kind of dragon. Changes in reverse.

Around the cocoon that was getting smaller and smaller, and finally only slightly larger than a human being, the temperature of the water quietly increased by more than ten degrees, and many tiny bubbles emerged, but under the cover of a strange realm, they were never observed. get.

……

At the same time, in the central control room of Kassel College, Professor Schneider's eyes stayed on an open page, which was the website of the local evening newspaper of the coastal town. Today's front page headline was "Vicious traffic accident on rainy night, vehicle wreckage mysteriously moved" .

The reporter at the scene vividly told a strange incident, an accident with no conclusion. The police found an abandoned Maybach car with its front end down and plunged into a paddy field softened by rain. There were a large number of stains on the car body. Unexplained damage.

The paddy field is almost four kilometers away from the nearest road, and there are no ruts nearby. The final explanation given by experts was that a small-scale tornado of high intensity occurred during the stormy weather, which blew the Maybach from the elevated road to a paddy field several kilometers away.

This "supernatural event" is the target of the three-person team's next investigation. After leaving behind monitoring equipment for in-situ exploration, the Maybach's original passengers, the Chu Zihang family who lived in the "Peacock Mansion" in the lakeside villa area just now, I have to accept the team's interview tomorrow morning.

"The three-member team of Group A, composed of students, is responsible for the preliminary investigation work. The seven-member team of Beheaders of Group B, transferred from the Dragon Tomb Guardians in the XZ area, is the main force responsible for slaying the dragon."

However, next to Schneider, Professor Manstein asked dissatisfiedly: "But what's going on with Group C? It's responsible for protecting an important local figure? Who is this guy named Lu Mingfei, and why?" So restricting the valuable manpower of the execution department?"
