Chapter 056: The Charm of Essence

Shangguan Haohui, who was resting in the preparation room, sat up suddenly when he heard the alarm, and after glancing at Yutai Mingxue, the two of them walked outside quickly.

Shangguan Haohui pressed the communicator to contact Zhongli Baiyi, and pondered after listening to the information he conveyed, judging from the orders he received, because the Shentai Dark Snow still needs to be monitored, the scope of his mission remains unchanged, and it is still the security defense of the third high school.

Shentai Shenxue looked up at the sky in surprise, and a protective wall with flashing yellow magic spell ripples shot out and extended from the surrounding walls, converging in the sky to envelop the third high school, and the B-level defensive magic array was activated.

"What's going on?" Shenxue asked with wide eyes and puzzled eyes, although she knew that there was an attack by a group of alien beasts, but she came from the first district and she didn't know what kind of security threat this was to the third district.

"It's a beast attack, just now it was a city alarm, and now the third high school is closed, and everyone is not allowed to leave the inside of the defense shield without permission until the alarm is lifted." Shangguan Haohui's fiery red pupils became dazzling, as if there were sparks rushing in them, but what it brought to people was a cold and piercing chill.

Yutai Mingxue was stunned by the temptation of that pupil, and pushed down her glasses to cover it up, "Then what should we do?" ”

"Zhongli has arranged for personnel who can fight to defend each node, and our mission target is one of the two nodes at the back door of the campus." Shangguan Haohui told the node to the Shentai Styx on the information terminal, and simply and calmly recounted the things he had been trying to hide, "I'm very sorry, you have to guard a node with me, but can you let the Shantai Styx guard another point?" ”

After opening the magic defense shield, there are only two ways to break through from the outside, one is to force a breakthrough, and the other is to find a node to break into. The third high school is open with a B-level defense shield, which can completely resist the attack of king-level alien beasts, so the defense of the node is the focus.

Yutai Mingxue frowned slightly, tilted her head and thought for a while, as if she understood something, nodded and said, "I will inform Styx." ”

She didn't know why Shangguan Haohui had made the matter of surveillance clear at this time, but she understood that at this time, the Styx was considered a combat force, and without her order, in a dangerous situation, the Styx would refuse Zhongli Baiyi's arrangement to protect her.

Shangguan Haohui's somewhat guilty gaze focused on Shentai Mingxue, and he bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry." ”

When Yutai Mingxue didn't react, he stood up straight, and strode towards the hidden node of the willow forest behind the library, his originally handsome and warm expression became as cold as a blade, and a cold and cold murderous aura that made people palpitate slowly spread out on his body.

Shenxue stood in place in a daze, as if he had met Shangguan Haohui for the first time.

The first meeting on the suspended train, the battle to suppress the Styx in the entrance examination, these reveal his magical combat power; After becoming a classmate, she realized that Shangguan Haohui was serious, steady, gentle and polite, and occasionally showed a sloppy and reckless juvenile character, coupled with the temperament cultivated by the family, all of which made her indulge in it.

But this time was different, this was the first time she deeply felt that the murderous edge of the "Blood Prince" belonged to it, and it was the truest essence of a magician.

An excited smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and she reached out and pressed it to her chest, feeling her heart beating violently due to the murderous aura revealed by Shangguan Haohui.

"No, I can't hold it if I go on like this!" Shenxue muttered to herself, her pupils hidden by her glasses faintly glowing with blood-red, and the violent fluctuations made her eyes change back and forth.

"Styx-san?" Shangguan Haohui felt the footsteps stop behind him, and looked at the unsteady breathing and slightly trembling body behind him suspiciously, he didn't think that she would be afraid of the invasion of foreign beasts, so what happened?

"Ah, it's okay!" Hearing Shangguan Haohui's question, Shentai Mingxue suddenly raised her head, her excitement overflowing, she really wanted to fight with him seriously!

Shangguan Haohui blinked, swallowing the thought of wanting to ask her why she was so excited, "Then let's go quickly, the node over there in the library is more important." ”

"Hmm." Yutai Styx took a deep breath, suppressed the violent fluctuations in his heartbeat, walked a few quick steps to keep up, pressed the communicator on his ear to inform Styx to guard the node of the parked car, ignored his complaints and forcibly ordered him to act.

The two of them quickly reached the magic node of the willow forest behind the library with a magic jump, nodded at each other, Shangguan Haohui stood on the node to defend, and Shentai Mingxue jumped to the willow tree to monitor.

Zhongli Baiyi continued to get all kinds of information from the military's communicator, and his face did not become relaxed when he heard that the alien beast group outside the city had been eliminated, and he solemnly took the communication device of the Discipline Committee and pressed the communication device to connect with all the patrolmen on the campus at the same time.

"It's officially announced that the alien beast herd has been wiped out, but the testing in the city is not over, please stay vigilant." Zhongli Baiyi put down the communicator and continued to listen to the announcement of the military communicator, which was connected to the patrols of the Wizards Guild at this time.

"What does that mean?" Shentai Shenxue lowered her head and asked curiously, isn't it the end of the destruction of the alien beast herd? Why be vigilant?

Shangguan Haohui's hand on his side was lightly clenched, and the smile on his face was no longer gentle but brought out a touch of scarlet, "Just like what I said in the restaurant that day, the third district has always been a battle area because of the terrain, so the end of the battle outside the city means that the battle inside the city has just begun." ”

Looking up at the expression of understanding or not, Shangguan Haohui lowered his head and swallowed other words and remained silent, Tai Mingxue is the daughter of the Lantai family, and she is still suspected by her father, and there are some things that are not suitable to tell her.

Zhongli Baiyi looked at the information terminal on the wall showing the detailed map of the third district, and thought with his chin in his hand, according to his father's guess, there should be ten to fifteen strange beasts in the city, of which about three to four are king-level, and at present, the mercenary group of the Magician Association has only eliminated three ordinary ones, and all of them are hidden.

Hearing a private call from the communicator, Zhongli Baiyi walked to the window and connected, "Father? ”

"Baiyi, the identity suspicion of Shentai Mingxue has been lifted." Zhong Liquan kept drawing the points on the map of the third area, marking the possible hiding points of the alien beasts one by one, and asked the communication soldiers to notify the mercenary groups to focus on detection.

"What about surveillance?"

"Surveillance continues." Zhong Liquan stopped the pen in his hand and told seriously, "Be wary of whether she has other purposes, the Tantai family is close to the military department and the federal government." ”

Zhongli Baiyi frowned, he understood what his father meant, but he didn't want to affect Shangguan Haohui's mental side anymore.

"Father, can you give me this task?"
