Chapter 175: Heartbeat
"Where's Charlie's body?"
"Didn't find it!"
Yutai Mingxue snorted disdainfully, "I have expected it, in the final analysis, the [Essay Competition] is only a high-level activity after all. ”
"But the fact that the prisoner robbery operation was conducted at this point in time can also be speculated to be based on some kind of intent." After a pause, Styx added, "At least that's a possibility. ”
"It seems that it may turn into a war incident with a strong smell of gunpowder."
Shenxue sighed slightly, the intelligence management of the Taitai family has strict standards, even if they know this, they can't warn the students who participated in the [Essay Competition], including Shangguan Haohui, I just hope that the military will not block the intelligence too much.
"Let's be prepared, just in case."
"Yes!" Hearing this, the Styx frowned, but he didn't say anything to stop it.
If nothing happens, it is best, once there is a war, even if the snow goes to the rescue, it will not be able to get rid of the suspicion that there may be "no report of the knowing" among the students. But neither he nor Sister Ying Xue could make the choice of "seeing death or not saving".
"The opening ceremony will start at 9 o'clock, please enter the central auditorium for participants and contestants!" The clear voice of the female announcer resounded through the venue, and Duanmu Shuilan and the other three, who had been waiting in the hall, did not move to the venue because of the prompt that the [Essay Competition] was about to open during the broadcast.
Because, at this moment, that dazzling scene happened in front of their eyes.
"Classmate Han Bing!" Shangguan Haohui stopped Dongfang Hanbing, who was walking with him, in a nervous and slightly stiff voice, as for Dongfang Hanhua, who was always standing beside her. was directly ignored by him.
"Shangguan classmate!" Dongfang Hanhua looked at Shangguan Haohui who accosted her, and moved his eyes to the armband with [Guard] on his arm, and saw that his identity in the essay competition this time was not the logistics staff of the third high school team. Rather, he is a member of the field guard team of the Seven Schools Federation.
"Long time no see, Mr. Han Bing, we haven't seen each other since the prom after the Battle of the Seventh School!" Shangguan Haohui's face was slightly blushing, and there seemed to be a little loneliness in his words, if he was here, he would definitely use [If you don't see you for a day, you will be like three autumns] to make fun.
"Yes, that's rude. I haven't greeted Shangguan for a long time. Dongfang Hanbing couldn't understand the meaning of Shangguan Haohui's words at all, in her mind, Shangguan Haohui was the opponent who fought with her brother.
But Shangguan Haohui is the heir of the Shangguan family of the same rank as the Dongfang family. Oriental Ice must show due etiquette and demeanor! Therefore, she saluted respectfully, so as to conceal or bring away the confusion and confusion that may be revealed in her expression.
"Ah, no, that's what I want to say......" Shangguan Haohui has long been accustomed to this kind of ceremonial interaction between the upper classes. But the perfect etiquette of the woman he liked still froze in place. And that's not all. Even Tai Shi Tangluo, a member of the garrison who was partnering with Shangguan Haohui next to him, was stunned in place as if he had lost his soul.
"Are you patrolling the venue?" Dongfang Hanbing smiled and asked this question that he knew at a glance as if he was an afterthought.
"Yes, I'm on patrol." Shangguan Haohui couldn't help but stammered in reply, and his face was even more ruddy.
"Now that Shangguan is in charge of guarding, we can also feel more at ease. I'll bother you. Dongfang Hanbing's words are not all compliments, the [Prince of Blood] as a member of the guard is indeed reliable, and it can be regarded as an objective evaluation, but the incitement in the words is slightly excessive.
"Okay! I will definitely do my best to meet your expectations! ”
Really. Shangguan Haohui's spirit and eyes became a little abnormal, which also made the trio sitting in the hall who were completely ignored gritted their teeth.
"Please come on, too, Taishi!"
"Thank you...... Thank you very much, Mr. Han Bing. I'll do my best! After the boy who was partnering with Jiang Hui was suddenly called by his name without warning, he stammered and said something too reserved to his classmates.
"Isn't it a bit embarrassing to stutter just like that?" Duanmu Shuilan pinched the water cup in her hand hard, she originally thought that Shen Yuehua and Nan Yuhan were exaggerating the facts to incite her complicity, and they were mentally prepared in advance to suppress the jealousy in order to gain an advantage after the three of them cooperated, but what she didn't expect was that the truth was more "grim" than they said.
Nan Yuhan had a displeased face, she had seen it with her own eyes in the Battle of the Seventh School, and learned that Shangguan Haohui liked Dongfang Hanbing, but she didn't expect that after such a long time, "love at first sight" did not subside, but became more serious!
However, Shen Yuehua was still able to keep her face expressionless, and added fuel to the fire with a bland voice, "In the face of a beautiful girl like Dongfang Hanbing, such a performance is inevitable!" What's more, the Shangguan family and the Dongfang family are comparable families, if it is Shangguan Haohui as the heir, even if the tradition of the Dongfang family is a little abnormal, I am afraid that he will agree to such a marriage. ”
"It's not love at first sight in film and television!" Duanmu Shuilan also remembered what Nan Yuhan and Shen Yuehua had said to her, and her lowered voice was full of great courage. Obviously, seeing such a harmonious scene with her own eyes, the most threatening opponent in her heart has become Dongfang Hanbing.
"How?" Shen Yuehua asked simply and clearly.
"Let's cooperate!"
It was at this table that three girls made the decision of the alliance with a light touch on the coffee cup!
"Hey, it's time!" Suddenly, a voice that was not rough, but full of roughness, sounded in their ears.
"Linghu!" Duanmu Shuilan looked up, and sure enough, it was a familiar figure.
"President Bai informed, check the logistics personnel who came by car, it's time to gather!" Linghu Xia Mu was helpless, and when he saw these three people gathered together, he didn't have to think about it to know what the reason was.
"That's right!" Before Duanmu Shuilan and Nan Yuhan thanked him regularly, Shen Yuehua's simple answer ended the topic directly, and took the lead in walking to the center of the venue.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the National High School Magic Essay Contest opened not in a gorgeous atmosphere, but in a rigorous atmosphere with a strong cultural atmosphere.
Even with the assistance of the military, the Seventh School War attracted the attention of many people. But after all, it is a competition between "students". In addition to getting a certain amount of extra points in the university entrance examination, the students who are active in it will have a corresponding advantage in entering the military and police systems.
In contrast, the "Essay Contest" is a presentation meeting for "adults" such as universities, companies, and research institutes. The reports here may be directly solicited by various parties depending on the outcome. Decide on a student's path after graduation.
The first high school also got a lot of information, as the magic high school with the most children in the family, whether it was permission or magic level, the first high school was the strongest among the seven schools.
This time, the captain of the [Essay Competition] Seven Schools Federation Field Garrison Team was Xuanyuan Langying, and at this time, he was accepting the results of his school's subordinates' reports, and then did not hesitate to give them new tasks.
As the agent of the Xuanyuan family at the family meeting, Xuanyuan Langying, who took up the rights of the Xuanyuan family at a young age, is not good at asking for opinions from the lower grades! No. The lower grades should not be marked, to be precise, Xuanyuan Langying basically rarely asks for other people's opinions.
Just when the subordinates were ordered to leave. Xuanyuan Langying stopped them, pondering for less than ten seconds, but it made people feel silent for more than ten minutes. Immediately after that, he picked up the hand-held intercom system and gave heavy instructions. "I'm a high school Xuanyuan Langying. Order: All members of the Joint Security Force, starting in the afternoon, wear bulletproof vests while patrolling. Repeat, be sure to wear a bulletproof vest when performing guards. ”
The afternoon report starts at one o'clock as scheduled. The third high school starts at two o'clock, and the first high school finale is the finale, and there are only three hours left after the start of the afternoon competition to finish safely.
Gu Lanshen and Ling Qinghuan, who were in charge of the equipment demonstration of the essay competition, did not care about each other's positions and grievances at this time, and were both engaged in the final discussion of the detailed procedures. Of course, each was accompanied by a guard.
At this moment, there was a small knock on the door.
Linghu Xia Mu opened the door lightly and took a look. Standing outside was Shangguan Haohui, who was wearing a bulletproof vest and a guard armband on his armband. "Shangguan, is it okay for you to leave at this time?"
"The guard has changed shifts. Plus the third high school is coming soon, so I'll come and take a look! Shangguan Haohui whispered softly not to disturb the final preparations of the contestants, and after his eyes glanced at the audience, he whispered a warning in Linghu Xiamu's ear, "The situation is not right, arrange the guards, I will tell President Bai that I will let him be in charge over there, and I will be at the exit of the hall!" ”
"Understood!" Linghu Xia Mu was vigilant when he saw Shangguan Haohui wearing a bulletproof vest, even if the magician was beyond common sense, he was still flesh and blood, although he could carry out magic defense, but there was a limit on the speed of magic activation, so in the case of defenselessness, thermal weapons were the biggest threat to magicians.
"Which high school is most likely to win at the moment?" Shangguan Haohui also took the opportunity to pay attention to the school's opponents in the [Essay Competition].
"Judging from the results and results sent by Duanmu, the fourth high school, right?"
"I think they're going too far!" Zhongli Baiyi suddenly expressed his opinion, "The main enemy is still the first high school. ”
"Am I bothering you?" Shangguan Haohui apologized slightly.
"Not at all!" Zhongli Baiyi waved his hand again and again, in order to dispel his friend's superfluous thoughts, he immediately overturned his conclusion, "However, it is really ......powerful to be able to integrate such a complex combination of magic into a single system without any flaws."
"I'm sorry, but the next one is going to start. Please come on. Shangguan Haohui, who heard the bell, hurriedly said goodbye, the next one was the presentation of the third high school, although there was still twenty minutes of time to prepare for the replacement of the instrument, but if he stayed any longer, it would only be regarded as interference.
"Yuhan, how's it going?"
Nan Yuhan, who heard Duanmu Shuilan's soft inquiry, shook his head slightly, "The probing phantom beasts that were released didn't find anything unusual. ”
"There's nothing wrong with being cautious." Shen Yuehua calmly came to a conclusion.
"Understood, I will continue to be vigilant." Nan Yuhan nodded in agreement in response to Shen Yuehua's opinion, beware of an attack that he didn't know if it would come.
From discovering that the situation at the venue had a strange atmosphere, coupled with Shangguan Haohui's faint warning, Duanmu Shuilan also obtained subtle information from his own family, and the three people sitting in the front row of the third high school did not intend to "stand still".
"What a lovely junior!" also received a warning from Li Xiaomei and Zhongli Baishan who stayed in the third district, and Bai Ronglai looked calm.
But this is not surprising, because of the nature of magic, no matter what danger is encountered, as long as he says stop, everyone will stop. Whether it's an ordinary person with a knife or a magician trying to cast a spell.
That's why it's restricted by the Wizards' Association to prohibit the use of magic.
Yes, it's forbidden to use magic. It's not the restricted-level mental interference magic that Yutai Stygian Snow thinks.
As is widely recognized, psychic interference magic must have the mental basis of the person in order to suggest, hypnotize, and interfere. And Bai Ronglai's spiritual interference magic can completely distort other people's minds.
In normal times, Bai Ronglai not only restricts the use of magic other than basic magic, but also restricts travel abroad and restricts solo intimate contact with foreigners, but despite this, he is always under surveillance, and he will not be able to get out of such a life in the future.
Thinking of this, Bai Ronglai couldn't help but show a mixed smile.
At this time, on the podium of the [Essay Competition] venue, Zhongli Baiyi was presenting his research results in the field of [Polyhedron Theory].
Interpret the magic phenomenon as a simple polyhedron such as a triangular pyramid or a quadrangular column, grasp the change of the phenomenon with the traces of the movement transformation of the virtual coordinate point, and organize the magic to manipulate the virtual coordinates to carry out the movement of the magic factor range to complete the magic.
Seeing the world as a simple cube abstracts the world, interwoven with infinite coordinates, and becomes a simple polyhedron that interacts in the eyes of the magician. The abstract and simulated way of world cognition makes it easy to manipulate magic factors from a wider range of factors, making the use of magic more diverse.
This is one of the scientific research directions of modern magic theory. Let Yutai Mingxue probably hug her head and beg for mercy when she hears it, and she shouts vigorously that she can't understand!
However, according to Zhongli Baiyi's research, this is a cross-generational achievement, and it may evolve into a new magic, that is, the [Prophecy] magic.
There are many magics in the world that fall into the category of [Prophecy] magic, but in the final analysis, some can indeed be regarded as [Prophecy], but this kind of prophecy needs to be analyzed by combining a lot of information, and choosing the most likely line with a keen intuition.
The rest can only be regarded as [Speech Spirit], which will be realized when the magician says words containing mana, but the power is limited by his own mana.
In short, there is no recognized prophetic magic in the future world. (To be continued.) )
