For Lin Ziyue and them, the screening of new students was just a small episode, and after spending the whole morning, there was also Glass's theory class to take in the afternoon.

At the same time, in the teaching building of the castle tower, the dean of the castle tower and Mr. Hu sat opposite each other, with a chessboard in front of them.

"Bow four flat six, archer. ”

"Five retreats and three, royal horses. ”

"Endure two into seven, stab the bow. ”

"Five into six, handsome. ”

Hu Lao frowned, looking at the dean's dangerous move, he didn't know what the purpose was: "The dean has an opinion on the five people selected by Xiao Linzi and Xiao Fei? ”

"The five children selected are not bad, but one of them who thought they could get in was not taken by them. The dean took a shallow sip of the water glass in his hand: "Shi Wuping Liu, general." ”

"You mean that child of the Wang family? The head of the Wang family is Wuxi's right-hand man, and it may not be a good thing to let him in. Hu Lao didn't look up, just looked at the sudden killing move: "Bow three flat six, guard." ”

Seeing that Hu Lao gave up an archer to buy a step for his handsome, the dean smiled: "Although the head of the Wang family is indeed the right-hand man of the fifth seat, his father has a good relationship with me, so I originally planned to let that kid come in and try it, but now I have to forget it." ”

The dean silently retreated the strategist who had ridden the horse earlier to his bow, after all, the three chess pieces that Hu Lao seemed to be defending could launch an attack at the same time at any time.

"What about the few that were screened out for the second time? The other top ten should not let go of these seedlings. Glancing at the situation on the chessboard, Hu Lao put down the chess pieces in his hand: "This will make me lose." ”

"The Martian and lunar ones can only be put back, and I have asked Lao Mu to take over the children from the Earth Star, but fortunately, it doesn't affect it. Saying that, the dean threw out a few transparent crystals about the size of a fist: "This is the demon crystal of Huayu sent by Bu Qing before, although the Lord of the Demon Beast said that it was given to the academy, but there are a lot of them, and it is not very useful to press on our hands, so please Hu Lao find an opportunity to send them out." ”

"Why don't you go by yourself, if you come forward, I believe that many great demons will join us. Hu Lao took the demon crystal, but he didn't put it away, but put it on the table.

Hearing Hu Lao's inquiry, the dean seemed to think of something from the past: "Since that incident broke out two hundred years ago, I have imprisoned myself in the castle tower, and I don't think I have a few years to live now, so I don't want to care about these things." ”

"Dean, don't be kidding, your body is still strong, maybe you won't die if you boil my bones to death. Hu Lao smiled and shook his head: "Then I'll keep it first, and see if Xiaolinzi will be useful to them in the future." ”

The dean nodded, and then stood up: "Old Hu, after Director Ge teaches them the C-level foundation in the past few days, let them go to the Western Rift Valley to exercise, it just so happens that Huayu will line up a pair of expeditions next month, so I bother you to take the time to arrange it." ”

Hearing the name of the expedition and the Western Rift, the smile on Hu Lao's face was put away, and after a while, he nodded his head, and then said goodbye to the dean's office.

...

With a turn of his gaze, he came to the three departments of the central city-state in the north of Mars, and at this moment, more than fifty people with the titles of senior agents and above of the three departments were gathering in a conference room in the building of the three branches

They were now seated, on a table in the center of the conference room, projecting a holographic projection of two shattered corpses.

"The two bodies were found a day ago in a valley in North Sector 1, one of them identified as a recorded D-class Psychic who had previously lived in the center of Sector 1, while the other was an ordinary resident. In the conference room, a female secretary in uniform held a crystal plate in her hand and said to the group of agents in front of her.

"What is the cause of death?" someone in the crowd asked.

The female secretary clicked on the crystal plate in her hand, and then the full projection of the two victims appeared in the center of the conference room: "The four wind attribute abilities hit the vital points of the body and died on the spot, but the suspect has surrendered last night." ”

"Then what's the problem?" asked a person who seemed to be the leader of the three sections.

"Deputy section chief, the problem is the testimony of the suspect after he surrendered. The female secretary looked into the darkness and clicked on a video.

...

"Name?"

"Novigus. ”

"Age?"

"Forty-three years old. ”

"Relationship with the victim?"

"Mammon and I were both tasked with protecting Freybay in the valley of the North 1st District. ”

"So you and the two victims know each other?"

"Yes. ”

"Then why did you kill the two of them? for money, or for the sake of silence?"

"I'm self-defense! I can't do anything about it!"

The man in the video suddenly holds his head, as if he has not recovered from the panic of the moment.

"Self-defense?According to the information of the Second Section and the Association, you are a C-level ability, and the strength of the Mammon you mentioned is only in the early D-rank, and the other victim is an ordinary person, why would they attack you?!"

"It's a strange beast! We met a strange beast in the valley! Both of them were eaten by a strange beast, and then the strange beast tried to eat me! I had no choice but to resist!" The man seemed to be crazy, and fell to the ground with his head in his hands, and kept muttering, "Spider beast! he wants to eat me! I want to be eaten..."

This is the end of the video, and there is silence in the conference room.

After a long time, the female secretary continued to speak: "Because these two corpses were too badly damaged by the ability, even after the second department conducted an autopsy, no wounds that could have been caused by alien beasts were found..."

Before the female secretary finished speaking, a question suddenly came from the conference room: "Ridiculous! The valley in the north area is a development site, and there is nothing in it except barren mountains and artificial machinery used for mining ores, strange beasts?! This is Mars, not the earth star! How can there be strange beasts!"

"Yes!" "That's it!" echoed the audience.

The female secretary frowned: "I hope you don't forget, the underground Colosseum in the North District is the most rampant among the four regions of Mars! No one dares to guarantee whether the alien beast smuggled from the Earth Star escaped from the Colosseum and then ran into the valley!"

Hearing this, these agents from the three departments all closed their mouths, but the eyes that looked at the woman were a little displeased.

Previously, he was called a deputy by a female secretary

The section chief's man finally came out of the shadows, walked to the center of the conference room, and took the crystal plate from the woman's hand. "Miss Crystal, I wonder if you are saying this on behalf of your own opinion, or on behalf of the accountability of the three central sections to us?" asked the deputy section chief in a deep voice.

The female secretary also seemed to know that she was a little arrogant, and bowed slightly: "Deputy Chief Major, I am here to assist you on behalf of the Mars Federation, there is no accountability, and I will go back to deal with this matter after this matter is resolved." ”

"What do you think you should do?"

"Contact the Second Section and the Association of the Strangers, and thoroughly investigate the wrecked valley, if there is no trace of the strange beast, it is fine, once it is discovered, all the agents will be sent to encircle and suppress! Fortunately, this is outside the urban area, if this incident happened in the urban area, this responsibility is not to mention you, even the section chief of the third central section can't afford to carry it!" said the female secretary named Christo.

The deputy section chief of the third section of the Mars North Region narrowed his eyes, nodded after a moment of silence, and immediately arranged it.

In the next three days, more than 20,000 detectives from the Third Division of the North District investigated the valley of the North District 1 thoroughly, and found the wreckage site but did not find any traces of the strange beast at all.

The only suspicion may be that in Novigues's memory, two phantoms flashed behind the two victims, but according to the environment at the scene, it is very likely that they are the reflections of the surrounding tree branches projected on the two people.

Although it took a lot of manpower and material resources, it at least proved that it was not the escape of the alien beast, and it was not a bad thing for the third branch, as for Novigues, he was sentenced to seventy-five years in prison for four crimes including malicious murder under the trial of the second and third branches, and this matter can be regarded as the end of the curtain.

Starting with the Novigues case, a total of three similar cases occurred in different regions in the next month, and except for the first one, the other two were quickly pressed by the local government and were not reported to the center, otherwise Christo would definitely be able to see some clues from it.

......

In the past few days of searching in the North 1st District, Glass has already made a list of C-level abilities for everyone, and asked them to choose some abilities that suit them according to their attributes.

After reaching the C level, even Lin Ziyue has to consider whether to continue to learn all abilities, because in addition to the sacred attributes, each of the three advanced attributes has more than 200 different abilities, and the basic five attributes have more than 300 kinds.

Even if some of them are more than a few of them that Lin Zi can know how they are composed, there are at least 100 abilities in each line that Lin Zi needs to learn from scratch.

So in the past few days, except for Bai Shaoqin, even Hai Xin, who couldn't sit still on weekdays, locked himself in his small building, and began to learn the abilities of their respective attributes without sleep or food.

As for the mission of the Western Rift, everyone also received a message from Hu Lao before the retreat, the time is set for five days later, they will go to the Western Rift alone ahead of the exploration team, and this time the distance of the outer region is too far-reaching, and the environment is harsh, whether it is an ordinary preservation car or a special flying car, they can't adapt to it, and everyone can only rely on their abilities to go on foot.

The Western Rift Valley is 900 kilometers away from the border of Huayu, and even if everyone goes all the way, it will take at least five days, but Hu Lao and the others have set aside a total of nearly half a month, and they don't think that this road will be peaceful.
