Chapter 174: In the Rain

On the day of the National Magic High School Students' Essay Contest, the No. 3 High School, which had arrived in the second district last night, had arrived at the venue of the Essay Contest as scheduled, and the large equipment truck carrying the display equipment had already been unloaded.

Just as in the book, Shentai Styx and Shentai Styx stayed in the school, and Shangguan Haohui arrived as the leader with the "three" in the essay competition team. Yes, Ling Qinghuan's name is still hanging among the paper contest presenters.

"Student president, shouldn't you find a way to deal with it?" After arranging the protective equipment and the escort of the simulated terminal, Shao Linan saw that the situation had not changed in the slightest, and the "student president" with an accentuated tone made Shangguan Haohui, who had been escaping reality and becoming a bystander, take a stand.

"Do I have to figure it out?" Shangguan Haohui asked with a bitter expression.

Shao Linan pointed at Linghu Xiamu, who was moving with the instrument cart, and gestured with his eyes to Duanmu Shuilan, Shen Yuehua and Nan Yuhan, who were looking around with vigilant eyes, and finally spread his hands to express his response of "It's a pity that's the case".

Shangguan Haohui sighed dejectedly, and moved his eyes back speechlessly to see Gu Lanshen and Ling Qinghuan who were glaring at each other with fierce expressions, the two of them did not have the spirit of harmonious cooperation at the beginning of the essay competition, he believed that if it were not for the estimation of the image of the paper publisher, these two people would have started to tear apart immediately.

As for Zhongli Baiyi, the main author of the paper, who had high hopes from Shangguan Haohui, he was reviewing the preparations and procedures that needed to be made for publication. calmly ignored the gaze of Wang Qinqi, who was full of hatred and hatred behind him.

Shangguan Haohui knew that Zhongli Baiyi would definitely not be able to help, because he was afraid of the image of the Third High School in the eyes of other schools, he could only pretend to be stupid and stand in front of Gu Lanshen and Ling Qinghuan. By the way, he blocked Wang Qinqi's too obvious gaze, and asked gently and elegantly, "What's wrong?" ”

To say that Shangguan Haohui is not the only one who has a relationship with Gu Lanshen and Ling Qinghuan on the scene. Like Wu Yujun is Gu Lanshen's guard, this relationship can be regarded as sharing weal and evil. If you take into account the degree of familiarity, Han Kong Ye can be regarded as having a close relationship with both sides, not to mention that this time there is also the former student president Bai Ronglai pressing the formation.

But they should not accept Han Kongye's arbitration, and Wu Yujun cannot maintain neutrality in terms of identity. Engage in persuasion.

Originally, the most suitable candidate for mediation was the former president Bai Ronglai, who was very comparable in both identity and status, but the other party took his "escort team" to greet the former student president of the old enemy No. 1 High School and others!

Shangguan Haohui endured and did not sigh. Showing the demeanor of the family and the calmness of the student president, the two who intervened in the-for-tat.

"There's nothing wrong, Shangguan-san!" The three views are very positive, and Gu Lanshen, who is a fan of the Shangguan family like most people in the third district, immediately replied. And Ling Qinghuan turned his head. An attitude of ignoring it.

Gu Lanshen's eyes became even more terrifying when he saw Ling Qinghuan's attitude. But that's it, Shangguan Haohui has roughly grasped the situation. The most painful thing is often not the attack from the enemy, but the betrayal of one's companions.

"Anyway, I can roughly imagine what it is." Before the situation became more troublesome, Shangguan Haohui planned to solve the matter quickly, "The [essay competition] is for three people to participate, and the list has been handed in. Changing candidates at this time will only bring shame to District 3 and Third High School. ”

"......"

Shangguan Haohui interrupted Gu Lanshen's rebuttal, "Senior Ling Qinghuan is a member of the Third High School after all. If it is only a difference in philosophy, then it should be a well-deserved victory in a formal argument, rather than a petty trick to trap the alma mater in injustice. ”

Seeing Ling Qinghuan's visibly shaken face, Shangguan Haohui struck a final blow, "Zhongli has such a mind and will to take the lead in presenting his research results, don't the seniors have the courage and confidence to face them head-on?" ”

Hearing Shangguan Haohui's deliberately aggravated tone and "as it should be" attitude, Ling Qinghuan smiled proudly, "I naturally have such courage and self-confidence. ”

Seeing Ling Qinghuan walking towards the president with a tough attitude, Gu Lanshen stepped forward with an embarrassed face, "I'm sorry, but I still bothered Shangguan classmates, obviously this is such an important moment......"

Shangguan Haohui couldn't see the change in his heart, and said with the smile on his face as always, "Senior Gu doesn't need to be arrogant, when he comes to the stage to make a speech, Zhongli, as the chief writer, may not have so many scruples, Senior Ling still needs you to pay more attention." ”

"Of course!" Hearing this, Gu Lanshen immediately changed completely from an honest attitude of admitting his mistakes, revealing an expression of imperative and serious vigilance.

"Then please Senior Gu!" Shangguan Haohui's words were not to divert his attention, his confirmation was that Ling Qinghuan would not joke about the reputation of the third high school under normal circumstances, but he didn't dare to guarantee whether Ling Qinghuan was normal after brainwashing.

Bai Ronglai, who watched the development of things from afar, smiled with satisfaction, the reason why he followed him to the venue of the [Essay Competition] was not only to support and communicate as the former student president of the Third High School, but to carry out the relevant tasks issued by the Magician Association.

In the past half a month, there have been [international disputes] in the first, second and third districts with different things and similar situations, and the Magicians Association does not know what the other party is paying attention to and cannot carry out large-scale prevention and action, so it can only put all possible "chess pieces" on the chessboard, just in case.

However, Bai Ronglai's magic is still restricted, so you need to be careful not to cause trouble when the time comes! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the current president who was also restricted from using magic standing next to the former president of the First High School, revealing a trace of envy.

Bai Ronglai couldn't help but move his gaze to Dongfang Hanbing, who was still eye-catching even when he was standing in a group of students, and sighed in a low voice, "No wonder Shangguan Haohui is so excited!" ”

When it was time to open, the preparation rooms of each school were bustling. The schools at the back of the queue had to wait for hours, but the students who came to participate in the essay contest included representatives who came to the stage to present their presentations and assistants who came to the venue to help with the behind-the-scenes work. In addition, the cheering team that came on their own was basically very concerned about the content of the report of the other school.

So in the hall, you can see many students from different magic high schools chatting and laughing.

Shangguan Haohui handed over the behind-the-scenes work of the Third High School to Linghu Xiamu, Shao Linan and Han Kongye, and came to the joint patrol team and the captain in charge of the patrol. Xuanyuan Langying of First High School reports.

Duanmu Shuilan, Shen Yuehua and Nan Yuhan left the team almost at the same time as Shangguan Haohui, and the three people in charge all turned a blind eye and acted as if they didn't see it.

After the three of them gathered together and struggled several times, they decided to adopt Shen Yuehua's countermeasures, that is, to wait for the rabbit in the rest area of the hall, drinking coffee that they didn't know the taste, and their eyes wandered around looking for their target.

Thankfully, it wasn't in vain.

Not only did they find their purpose, but they also saw something that made them unhappy.

Shangguan Haohui frowned and walked on the defensive route arranged for him. The foyer of the hall was his main defensive area. At this time, his partner next to him was a classmate of the First High School - Tai Shi Tangluo.

"I'm sorry!"

"What?" Taishi Tang Luo asked in confusion, he really didn't know which one of the heirs of the Shangguan family and he, the unranked son of the Taishi family, suddenly apologized!

"Nope. It's nothing. ”

Shangguan Haohui hesitated for a long time, but finally didn't say anything. He can't say he's sorry to put you in the limelight, doesn't that make him look too self-righteous......

However, a few minutes later, Taishi Tangluo realized the unfinished meaning of Shangguan Haohui's words. Even if his nerves were a little leaky. But the too enthusiastic eyes and the three always focused gazes made him impossible to ignore!

"Shangguan classmate ......"

Shangguan Haohui smiled indifferently, not only ignoring Taishi Tangluo's distress gaze, but also turning a deaf ear to the suppressed screams of the formation.

In the preparation room of the third high school, Gu Lanshen completely fulfilled his promise to Shangguan Haohui and devoted himself to monitoring Ling Qinghuan, who was a "suspicious person", while Ling Qinghuan had an unswerving face, but thinking of defeating Zhongli Baiyi in a bright and bright way, he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

It's almost time. The auditorium is about to fill up. Wang Qinqi, who was sitting in it, pursed his lips and looked obscure, he didn't understand why he would obediently come here to watch this [essay competition] that proved his shame. But considering what Yutai Mingxue said to him, "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles", he stayed away from the student area of No. 3 High School with a feigned unfamiliarity and sat in the public area.

"President, Wang Qinqi is sitting over there......" The original guard beside Bai Ronglai whispered beside him.

"Arrange for individuals to lean over quietly, vigilant and protective." Bai Ronglai stared at the front of the venue without squinting, and did not propose to invite people to sit together. A hypnotized student may act unwisely, and in the event of an accident, a lone person may be in danger.

"Understood!"

Even if Bai Ronglai stepped down as the student president, there were still many people who followed him, and they were all talented and loyal! Otherwise, Shangguan Haohui would not have faced the strange situation that the student union was all a year.

At this time, in the third high school, Shentai Mingxue was sitting in her special chair to receive a report from Shantai Styx about the abnormal things for a while, "The interrogation is over?" ”

"Yes!"

The tone of the Styx is not good, after the attack of the [Vampire] Charlie, the third district has found a group of supporters of the empire, it was originally the most convenient to investigate from Ling Qinghuan, as long as he perceives that the ultimate target of the attack is his life, then it is possible to hear a few words from his mouth, but at this critical moment, Ling Qinghuan was transferred away by Shangguan Haohui and Zhongli Baiyi!

Even if the Tai Styx was a professional detective master invited by the military and a child recognized by the Shantai family, in the third district, he still couldn't compete with the orders of the powerful local Shangguan family and the Zhongli family.

Through a rigorous examination, Ling Qinghuan had traces of psychological control, and there was no abnormality in the mental examination, as long as it was not a criminal organization by nature, it was just a "magical disease", and there was a possibility of "cure".

Thinking of this, the corners of Ling Tai Mingxue's mouth twitched, "Ling Qinghuan is an outstanding researcher recognized by the Shangguan family and the Zhongli family, maybe what kind of contribution can be made in the future, how can you let you conduct interrogations unscrupulously!" ”

"No matter how strong the psychic interference magic is, if the subject does not have a basis to be able to apply magic, the magic will not be able to take effect smoothly." The Styx insisted that Ling Qinghuan was dangerous and should be thoroughly interrogated and educated.

"Yes, it is indeed difficult for magic alone to work on the spirit if you interfere with the exact principles of action." Yutai Mingxue nodded in agreement, and said with a little distress, "But Ling Qinghuan's philosophy is that the world openly shares magical knowledge and makes magic truly progress. ”

To be honest, this concept seems to be correct, but Shentai Mingxue, who crossed over from a pirate country, does not agree with this concept at all, according to the laws of her original world, if you make it public today, there will be thousands of "imitations" in all corners of the world tomorrow.

"This concept is correct at the academic level, but from the perspective of national antagonism and conflict of interest, it is not correct." The dismissal of the Styx of the Shotai did not mean anything to the unrealistic thoughts, at least for him.

"And what conclusion did you reach?" Shentai Mingxue sighed, she is also a pragmatist, although "Dream Town" can promote progress, but if it is on the premise of harming the "present", she will not hesitate to give up this progress.

"There is no doubt that Wang Qinqi and Ling Qinghuan's goals are both materials for the [Essay Competition]. But it's more than that. The expressionless face of the Styx of the Hidden River carried a thick anger, "The other party's target may be the Xuanzi Tower." ”

"Yes, if the target is the research of magicians, then there is no place to target it better than the Bright Blue Tower and the Purple Tower, where the Magicians Guild stores materials." Shenxue also expected this kind of thing.

However, even if we had the relevant information about the organization behind the scenes, the combat objectives did not have enough time to take additional countermeasures. In the future, a world that is always on guard against the attack of strange beasts, even if you order the army immediately, it is impossible to act immediately when you receive the order.

"I think it's possible for the other side to take drastic measures beyond our imagination. The event doesn't end there! Styx said in a positive tone.

"What about the evidence?" Yutai Mingxue's expression was completely devoid of a smile, and even tense to a serious level.

"This is information from the Tantai family." The River Styx handed the Snow a card to avoid transmission.

"One more thing!" Styx said in a heavy tone, "The military's car escorting Charlie was attacked on the way to the prison, and no one survived. (To be continued.) )
