Endless Silver Machine

The energy supply of the Tebiri Kingdom is mainly electricity, and the Tebiri Royal Academy is certainly no exception. The energy needed for daily life, including lighting and heating, is all provided by electricity, and the required electricity comes from the energy center of the royal capital. Generating electricity through solar energy, wind power and water power is the basic way for human beings to survive before the magic conversion technology matures.

Now, it's bedtime. The most obvious manifestation of a power outage is the sudden drop in indoor temperature.

"Ah!"

When she was sleeping, she kicked off the quilt, Qiu Ke sneezed a little, and she woke up from her sleep. He groped around on the bed in a daze, but the quilt had already fallen to the ground. Coupled with the cold temperature, Qiu Ke's sleepiness quickly dissipated.

She walked slowly to the table, took out a piece of tissue from the paper box, and wiped her red nose. A shiver ran through her body, but she ignored it and walked into the bathroom.

After a while, there was the sound of flushing water, and Qiu Ke returned to the room. She put the quilt that was lying alone on the ground back on the bed, then got into the quilt and continued to sleep soundly.

…………

Tiruya woke up at this time just because she had a strange dream. Now I can't remember the specific content of the dream. I have the impression that Qiu Ke and Wei Xi are doing something, and I can only watch blankly from the side, unable to move as if my body has been filled with glue.

Because it felt so awkward, she opened her eyes suddenly. There is a dark ceiling in front of me. I can no longer experience the feeling in my dream again. I close my eyes, but my mind is slightly clear.

I felt the cold air on my cheeks. With an inexplicable anger, Tiruya got out of bed wrapped in pajamas and checked whether the heater was working seriously.

"It's bright...why isn't it bright..."

Tiruya kept pressing the start button of the heater with some annoyance, but the red indicator light never came on, and warm air did not blow out from the air outlet. She checked again to see if the plug was plugged in properly and found no problem.

"Is there a power outage?"

She mentally apologized to Leilu who hadn't woken up yet, and then turned on the light switch. The expected lights did not come on, it was dark outside the window, and the street lights in Wangli Academy also stopped working. Fortunately, it's night now, so the circuit will probably be repaired early tomorrow morning.

Tiruya did not continue to dwell on this issue and returned to bed. Just taking advantage of the momentum, I had been messing around for a while, and the feeling of fatigue came back to me again. She covered her mouth and let out a big yawn, and her eyelids suddenly became sour.

"sleep……"

Being surrounded by warmth, Tiruya's consciousness became increasingly blurred. However, the anxiety in his heart still did not dissipate, and half of the blood in his body was agitated with excitement.

Tylua has half of the vampire blood. If you are a pureblood, you will be more energetic at night than during the day. Tylua can still maintain the same schedule as ordinary humans, thanks to the genetic information from her mother.

Having an older sister who serves as the captain of the Imperial City Defense Bureau, Tiruya has developed extremely sharp nerves even if she doesn't want to. She tried her best to count the girls with animal ears that just skipped through her mind, but to no avail.

At this time, the cute little animals suddenly dispersed, and a trace of noise invaded this wonderful circle in Tiluya's mind.

…………

Xiaoye was lying on the bed, scrolling through the PDA screen out of boredom. The columns he followed were actually just some news that was not true or false, but Xiaoye was not interested in these things, it was just to pass the time between going to bed and falling asleep. With the pure blood of the Vampire clan flowing in his body, although he tried hard to adjust his biological clock, it was still very difficult to fall asleep at night. Seeing Aika snoring next to her, Xiaoye felt a little envious.

The heater had stopped working, and Xiaoye could already feel it through her hands exposed outside the quilt. Plug the PDA's charging cable into the plug beside the bed. The remaining power of the PDA did not increase. Xiaoye was sure that there was a power outage.

Unlike Shimozuki Academy, the energy supply of all equipment in Tebiri Wangli Academy relies on electricity. It is said that there are also energy supply facilities underground that can convert magic power. However, because it has not been used and checked for a long time, it has long been used with scrap iron. Put an equal sign.

For Tebiri Wangli Academy, a power outage is equivalent to stopping all functions of the academy.

Akatsuki, who takes everything seriously, cannot silently condemn the staff who manage the facility. This does not mean that he can accept this excuse, but because this time is temporarily occupied by a group of uninvited guests.

"Hey, Aika-san, get up quickly."

Xiaoye tried to wake up her sleeping roommate while putting on the uniform hanging on the wall.

"……Um?"

"There is something very important. You should change your clothes immediately."

Xiaoye pulled Aika out of bed without any explanation, and then threw his uniform on the bed.

A cold feeling quickly spread over Aika's hands and feet. This was the most effective way to dispel sleepiness. Wei Xi also used this method to forcefully wake him up, but her method was much gentler than Xiaoye's. Aika vaguely recalled the scene at that time.

"It's something very important. What is it?" He put his arms into his sleeves and buttoned the front button. "Are you getting dressed to go out?"

"Of course it would be great if I could go out."

"Huh? What does this mean?"

"You may not have discovered it yet, at least I'm sure..."

Xiaoye's magic power covered the entire room, and the familiar sticky feeling made Aika cover her mouth, feeling a little breathless.

"There are probably at least three people outside the door. If you want to get out, you have to jump from the window."

Xiaoye kept her voice low and covered the room with her magic power so that no one outside the door would notice.

"Do you know the other party's purpose?"

Aika knew that there was no need for Xiaoye to say unfounded words to scare herself. Now that he was ready, Aika had to show his own attitude. The blazing eyes turned into twin guns in his hands, and Aika checked the status of the magic equipment.

"Do you still remember what Tiluya told you when you came here?"

"I seem to remember..." Aika recalled what Tiluya said in the car that came to greet him that day, "There is civil strife in the Kingdom of Tebiri, a dispute between two parties, right?"

"That's it. They don't know when something's going to happen. Long story short, does your PDA work?"

After hearing this, Aika took out his PDA, but no signal was displayed on it. Seeing this situation, Aika immediately understood what was causing this. In the airship accident, the PDA was also paralyzed as it is now.

"Sure enough, the same is true for you." Xiaoye roughly understood the situation, "It would be great if Tiruya could also discover this situation. Her room is next to the president's room, but if someone blocks the door, , it can be difficult to take care of both sides.”

"Wei Xi!"

Aika picked up the PDA and quickly searched for Wei Xi's contact address. Later, she realized that there was no signal and she could not be contacted at all.

"Calm down, let's solve the problem on our side first, and then it's too late to help them. Those people are not fanatical believers, they can be called scholars with some brains, and they should not do anything too extreme. matter."

Xiaoye's words calmed down the possibility that Aika was most worried about at this time. The hand holding the PDA dropped, and Aika tightened his grip on the gun handle again.

"I probably understand a little bit about why it's like this."

If you think about it for a while, you can understand that the Technology Party is not preparing to seize power with arms, but to publicize the legitimacy of its own ideas to the outside world. If it is not popular among the people, it will naturally not go as smoothly as it wishes. So they should not behave in extreme ways.

But even so, Aika was not willing to let her fall into this boring dispute and become a needless victim. Only once would be enough for something like that... No, if time could go back, Aika would swear not to let it happen the first time.

"Senior Xiaoye, what should we do now?"

"Try to avoid direct confrontation. If I'm alone, I can jump out of the window, and it shouldn't be too difficult to take you with me."

"This is the third floor!"

"This height is nothing. The president can easily jump out."

"From a human perspective, I don't quite understand your worldview..."

"They started to move... Don't worry so much, just open a hole there, can you do it?"

No longer worried about being heard by the other party, Xiaoye put away the magic power covering the room.

"Um."

The magic power released from Aika's gun easily blew away the entire window and the surrounding bricks and tiles. Xiaoye pulled him to her side.

"Hold on to me!"

Then he ran towards the exposed hole and jumped.

From the corner of her eye, Aika saw the door being violently kicked open and unknown men rushing in. At this time, the vision was obscured by the bloody magic power. Xiaoye used his own magic power to wrap the two of them into it, becoming a buffer when they landed.

"Don't stand there, start running now!" Xiaoye supported Aika, who was a little uncomfortable for the first time, "There are more than just a few of them, and I don't know which place is safe, so run to a place with fewer people! "

Aika tried her best to adjust her condition and ran closely behind Xiaoye. In the past few days, they had become fully familiar with the layout of Wangli Academy. Xiaoye and Aika were running between the buildings.

In the silent night, the footsteps of the two people reflected on the walls, and the sound echoing in their ears increased the uneasiness in their hearts.

"Are they coming for us?"

Aika confirmed to Xiaoye while running.

"That's probably it..."

Xiaoye's tone was definitely not relaxed, and sweat streaked across his forehead.

"Would it be safer outside the academy?"

"There may be people guarding the exit of the academy. They will definitely think of the possibility of our escape, and then take more precautions in this regard. If we want to hide, it will be safer here."

"The wood is hidden in the forest, does this mean..." Aika noticed his carelessness. Xiaoye obviously thought about many aspects more than him, "How about the teaching building, I should be able to hide there for a while."

The three teaching buildings of Wangli Academy are connected to each other, and there are dozens of classrooms on each floor. In the teaching building at night, the sound of footsteps is particularly harsh. If the other party wants to check the classrooms, they can detect it immediately.

"Good advice."

The two figures turned between the buildings. In front of the door of Teaching Building No. 1, Xiaoye slashed her wrist with the dagger she carried and sprinkled her blood on the flower bed next to her.

"Senior Xiaoye?"

"If Tiluya passes by here, she will know our location." The blood of the vampires can become a tool for exchanging information between the same clan at certain times. "But she is not a pure blood, so I don't know how much role she can play." ."

After doing this, Xiaoye immediately turned around and returned to the teaching building.

…………

Tirua was not as thoughtful as Akatsuki, but she also covered the room with her own special magic power. However, this is not to cover one's own aura, but to face the enemy.

When the other party rushed into the room, the sticky magic took away their consciousness in a few seconds. Relu was still putting on her uniform hurriedly behind Tirua, when another set of footsteps came from the corridor.

"Leilu, let's get out of here first, please!"

"If there are two people, the time may become shorter..."

Four slender thin wings spread out from Leilu's back. The wings of the elves were just condensed magic power and had no substance.

…………

"Hey! None of you are allowed to..."

The other three men rushed into the room, pointing the muzzles of their old submachine guns into the room, and then looked surprised.

Their companions were lying on the floor of the room, but the two girls who were the targets were not in the room.

"Find the person!"

They roughly opened the closet, lifted up the sheets, and tried to use the momentum of turning the entire house upside down to find the hiding girl.

The two men, who were blessed with Lelu Elf magic, had quietly left the room from where the men were standing just now.

The hallucination technique that can only be used by the elves will not be interfered by the elimination and debuff magic, so it is classified as magic by humans and is not included in the magic sequence list like Tylua's blood control technique.

The technique used by Leilu is only the most basic application of hallucination. If too complex techniques are used, it will increase the burden on Leilu's body and have a certain impact on the escape operation.

Fortunately, the other party did not close the door when he rushed in, otherwise he would have been suspicious when he saw the closed door automatically opening.

Coming to the corridor, other men's voices could be heard from the open door next to them. Qiu Ke and Wei Xi might have been caught.

Although he was very reluctant, he did not have enough ability to bring them out together. When Leilu's magic is used on the two of them, it only lasts for a few dozen seconds. During this time, you must first ensure the safety of yourself and her, and then you can think of other countermeasures.

"Feel sorry……"

Tirua gritted her teeth and looked away from the open door, running towards the emergency stairs.

Leilu followed Tirua silently, words of comfort were already on her lips, but she did not speak. Now she must try her best for what only she can do.
