Chapter Seventy-Seven: Detention (2-in-1)

The makeshift operations conference room was across the street from the North and South Memorial Hospital, and it took about five minutes to get around, although it was already three or four minutes later by the time Ryder arrived at the inpatient lobby.

Standing at the foot of the stairs outside the inpatient department, he saw a large amount of blood flowing down the steps like a spring, pooling on the flat ground to form a pool of blood, wetting the vamps of his shoes, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

"The alarm is lifted... The killer is dead. On the radio channel, Goliath observed Ryder, who had arrived at the scene, whispered.

"The 'S' class took down the enemy?" Ryder walked the blood stairs to the hall of the inpatient department step by step, and his low tone was full of horror.

He rushed out of the battle room at the moment before Lin Nian and Caesar made a move, naturally he had no way of knowing what had happened in these few minutes, and he couldn't imagine how a 16-year-old temporary commissioner could deal with a three-meter-tall vicious and dangerous half-blood.

But when he walked into the hall of the inpatient department, he had to believe that this was what happened.

People lie, but corpses don't.

The killer's majestic corpse lay silently, blood gushing around the hilt deep in his eye sockets, and Ryder could almost imagine how the fatal blow was done, the force that pierced through the skull through... Stabbing? No, if you want to penetrate the back of this monster's head, you have to smash it.

First stab the short knife into the eye socket, and then punch or kick it through... Yes, that's how it should be, a one-hit kill, brutal and sophisticated.

Ryder also grasped the firearm filled with live ammunition at his waist in a warp and leaned over to examine the murderer's body, and only after making sure that there was no pulse or breathing did he relax and jump past him into the hall of the inpatient department.

Today's inpatient hall is full of temporary commissioners of the logistics department, pulling up the cordon to control the chaotic crowd, coming and going to support the trampling and accidental injuries to the emergency room, it is a coincidence, the incident happened in the hospital, even the ambulance is saved, and the doctors in the medical department building wear white coats and trot to the inpatient department to pick up the patients.

"What about the Commissioner's casualties?" What about the S'-Class? Ryder swept around and didn't find the shadows of Lin Nian and Caesar.

"The 'dagger' broke five ribs, suspected of injuring internal organs, and now he has been sent for a CT scan, as for the 'S' class, he has a little flesh wound, and you can see him if you go inside." Gloria paused for a moment, and her voice went low: "And..."The White Dove is dead." ”

Ryder exhaled, his eyes gloomy and silent for a moment, and then said, "I'm listening." ”

"The body was found in the toilet, remember the first gunshot in the hospital at the beginning? It was the white pigeon who fired the gun, but the next second she was crushed in her throat bone, and her blood rank was 'B', which could not deal with such an enemy. ”

"Collect the body and send it back to the academy first." Ryder whispered.

"After a while, I saw that the 'S' class could say two words less, and although he disobeyed the order of action, he did a good job, which was expected."

"What are you looking forward to..."Ryder couldn't help but shake his head and smile self-deprecatingly, the executive department has always been the proudest department of the Kassel Academy, in the name of efficiency, cruelty, and calmness, but look at what happened today? One commissioner died, the other commissioner was seriously injured, and it was actually two temporary commissioners who really stood up to settle the battle, one controlled the field, and the other killed the enemy, and today the proud executive department lowered the flag at half-mast in front of the two temporary commissioners.

"I'm not a legalistic person, and I can see the facts that are in front of me now." Ryder took a deep breath and gathered his mood as he walked through the crowd and walked deeper into the inpatient department, where he saw the 'S' class student in the makeshift ambulance that had been cleaned up from a ward on the first floor.

On the hospital bed of the temporary ambulance, Lin Nian sat calmly, his legs and various joints were wrapped with bandages, dark red blood overflowed from under the bandages to show the amount of bleeding, and in the other bed was their protective object 'Marita', who was sleeping quietly at this time.

"Instructor." Caesar, who was leaning against the door, was the first to see Ryder who walked in and shouted, Ryder didn't speak, just raised his hand and gestured, and walked in front of Lin Nian.

"How's it hurting?" Ryder looked down at Lin Nian.

"Muscle strain, cracked skin, damaged ligaments, some blood loss, nothing else serious." Lin Nian said and glanced sideways at the busy doctor in the corner: "But I haven't had a blood transfusion before, so I don't know if a mixed-race person can have a blood transfusion or something, so I refused the doctor's request for a blood transfusion because I was afraid of AIDS..."

"As long as the blood type matches, there is no big deal, there will be no rejection, and the bloodline of the hybrid is stronger than you think." Ryder sat on the opposite hospital bed and removed the long knife from his waist: "Tell me about it." ”

"Say what?"

Ryder looked up at Lin Nian: "I wasn't in the war conference room just now, I didn't see the process of your actions clearly, since the temporary commissioner made a move, then I have to submit a written report to the ministry afterwards, and now I need to know the specific situation." ”

"Caesar made a feint, I rushed up, and while he wasn't paying attention, I kicked the short knife in his eye, and he died."

"It's as simple as that?"

"It's as simple as that."

Ryder looked sideways at Caesar, who was holding his hand next to the door, and Caesar paused and spread his hands: "It's as simple as that." ”

"You should all know there's video in the war room, right?" Ryder rubbed his temples.

"With all due respect, you probably won't be able to figure out what's going on if you look at the video, so it's better to listen to our version and be more reliable." Caesar smiled lightly.

"He's telling the truth." Goliath's voice rang out over the radio: "Maybe you've seen the replay of the surveillance footage and you're as dazed as we are. ”

Ryder listened to Golia's words in the headset, and raised his eyebrows in confusion, and Lin Nian couldn't help but explain when he saw him like this: "When I killed someone, I moved faster, and the surveillance video should not have been taken clearly." ”

Well, the move was a little quicker when it came to killing, Ryder thought to himself.

"That's the truth, even if I'm on the scene, it's hard for me to say that I can see this guy's movements." Caesar shook his head and smiled.

"What's it like in the replay?" Ryder simply pressed the headset and asked Goliath directly.

In the war room, Goliath held her hands and watched the replay of the video coming out on the split screen with a group of veterans, thinking about how to describe what happened at that moment.

The frame rate of the surveillance video is 30 frames per second, in the slow play into a frame of the picture, Lin Nian began to distort into a ball of white shadows from one of the frames for no reason and jumped to the murderer in just a dozen frames, the white shadow snatched Helena and then jumped a few frames to the murderer's face, and finally Lin Nian's figure reappeared in the picture, and the murderer fell to the ground.

"It's like a ghost," Gloria concluded.

"Spirits?" After listening to Golia's description and final summary, Ryder subconsciously looked at Lin Nian.

"No... I do not know. Lin Nian said, "Do you cause harm to yourself when you use the spirit of speech?" ”

Ryder looked at the bloody bandages on Lin Nian's body and paused: "If it is a high-risk spirit of speech, it will take into account that the user cannot bear the power of the spirit itself and cause injury, just like 'Rhine' and 'candle dragon', there is a situation where the spirit of words hurts the user itself." ”

"But there's another possibility." Ryder was silent for a while and looked at Lin Nian: "There is an ace commissioner's spirit in the executive department that is 'Split Sky', a very lethal spirit of speech, the manifestation of the effect is that it can easily cut through all the substances it touches, according to him, before he really controlled this high-risk spirit of speech, he had already felt the power of the spirit of words, but it was always difficult to avoid hurting himself when he used it, so he had always been scarred before." ”

"And words like 'Vampire Scythe', 'Jun Yan', etc., will always show signs of outstanding hearing and hot before the user completely controls them, and when they don't comprehend the 'Dragon Text' but rashly intensify this dominant feature, they can indeed release the power of the Spirit of Speech, but because of the unfavorable control, they will always involuntarily hurt themselves, after all, 'Chanting Dragon Text' is the real and correct way to release the Spirit of Words." Ryder looked at Lin Nian's scarred appearance and analyzed: "You will learn relevant knowledge in the sophomore year of "Lingxue II". ”

"Are you saying that my entry into that 'state' is a shallow release of my own words?" Lin Nian felt that Ryder's explanation was particularly novel, he used to have great curiosity and doubts about these things but no one could confide in them, but now there was a second person to explain and analyze for himself, which made him feel that he benefited a lot, and when he thought about it, he did not chant Longwen every time he entered this state.

"Is your speech and spirit only 'fast'?"

"It should be 'very fast.'" Caesar corrected: "At that time, I also released the 'Scythe', but at least my wind demons did not catch any of his sound at all, and all they could hear back was the sharp sound of the wind. ”

"'Scythe', no wonder you can shoot the murderer in the eye." Lededo glanced at Caesar, and then returned his attention to Lin Nian: "You continue. ”

"When I force myself to concentrate a lot, I always feel like everything around me is slowing down, and when I'm in a good state, I can even see that everything 'stops' while I'm free to move around." Lin Nian said.

"'Time zero'?" In the conference room, many commissioners subconsciously popped out of their mouths.

They couldn't help but think of this powerful spirit that had been passed on to him because of a mysterious user, in the hands of that old fellow, time zero was the ghost blade that killed the enemy, and when he slit your throat, you might still be drinking the wine in your hand, completely unaware that the wine had been mixed with blood from your throat, and the elegant killer spirit was very much in line with the tone of the 'S' class.

"Maybe, but not sure, 'Eternal Time Zero' is a very powerful spirit, and it is normal that the half-bloods whose bloodline has initially awakened cannot be controlled, and the relevant knowledge can only be asked by Principal Ange, after all, he is the only user of 'Time Zero' that we know exists." Ryder whispered.

"You're saying I might be the same as the headmaster." Lin Nian thought of the game with Ange in the cold weapon class, the speed of the other party's ghost was simply beyond his cognition, if his speech spirit was 'time zero', then he was indeed inferior in speed There were too many old men who had already controlled this speech spirit for a hundred years.

"Not necessarily, but it's very likely that speech and spirituality are not my strong point, and we can arrange for a relevant speech and spirituality professor to analyze your situation when we return to the academy." Ryder clapped his hands and stood up and glanced at Caesar and Lin Nian: "The murderer has been confirmed dead, congratulations to you 'S' class, and the boy of the Gattuso family, you two are the biggest heroes in this mission, I will report the actual situation of the mission to the ministry and consider the rewards and punishments afterwards." ”

"The female commissioner in the toilet, she...?" Lin Nian raised his head and suddenly looked at Ryder, but found that the other party was silently looking at him, and naturally understood everything without words.

"In the face of an enemy of this level, we have only suffered a few casualties, and we should be glad that we have only suffered a few commissioners." Ryder said lightly: "Dragon slaying is to shed blood, this truth has long been clear to everyone in the executive department, the dead companions will be added martyrs, the responsibility of the living is to remember them and inherit their responsibilities, there is no need to indulge in useless sorrow." ”

"Is that a consolation?" Lin Nian said.

Ryder turned his head and looked at the noisy hall where people came and went outside the door: "This is a necessary enlightenment, this hospital has been sealed off by us, the instructor of the college's psychological training department will come overnight, and the patients who have witnessed everything in the hall of the inpatient department will be handled by him to delete their memories, if you two need it, you can have a good chat with Masashi Toyama afterwards, his psychological enlightenment is very effective." ”

"He's probably the only one who needs enlightenment." Caesar looked at Lin Nian: "I just fired a few shots." ”

"But it's useful, if it weren't for you, the murderer would have fled with the flow of people." Ryder casually exposed Caesar's act of dedication, and Caesar just shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.

"By the way, there is a personal question that you can answer or not... Is this your first time fighting? Ryder looked at Lin Nian again.

Lin Nian nodded after a pause, and Ryder also bowed: "I have seen the corpse, it is very efficient and deadly, there is no hesitation in the slightest, it seems that you were born to eat this bowl of rice." ”

"Murder?" Lin Nian said.

"It's dragon slaying." "Don't confuse the two, you're doing the right thing," Ryder said. ”

"I'll find out later if it's wrong." Lin Nian smiled lightly and looked at Helena on the hospital bed on the side: "When will the freshmen go back to the college?" ”

"As soon as tonight, it's still afternoon, and it's still a while before the evening, and after the veterans of the executive department who came from the academy take over the scene, your task will be completed, and you can naturally take the CC1000 express train back to the academy at the earliest." Ryder chuckled: "It's very lucky, although the murderer this time caught us off guard, but fortunately he didn't let him succeed, but let the mission end quickly, probably the speed of the completion of this mission broke the record of the ministry, and it ended in the morning and evening." ”

"By the way, instructor, can I go back later, I hit my head during the fight just now, I feel a little concussion, and I still want to vomit, I don't know if it's serious." Lin Nian gently touched the bandage on the back of his head.

"Do you mean the fall when it happened?" Ryder still remembers that at the beginning, Lin Nian was knocked out with the toilet door, and it seemed that he had fallen quite hard.

"Yes, I still feel a little uncomfortable, it just so happens that this is the hospital, I want to stay in the hospital for a check-up."

"Then make a film and stay here for one night, I'll let the academy know." Ryder nodded.

"By the way, what should she do? Do you want to wash away your memories too? Lin Nian pointed to Helena on the side.

"She?" Ryder looked at Helena and thought for a while: "It shouldn't be necessary, from her point of view, she just experienced a homicide, she was knocked unconscious in the toilet for the first time, and the memories of the onlookers should be erased after the blood-faced killer released the spirit of words, especially that star, the public opinion she can bring is too considerable, and now the commissioners of the logistics department are probably trying to drag her down." ”

"As for 'Marita', she doesn't have any memories of those battle scenes, so we don't need to add work to Masaki Toyama... Teacher Masashi Toyama recently filed a complaint with the Executive Department to keep a low profile, and it seems that the number of times he has activated the spirit is a bit excessive. ”

"Then it looks like she'll have a chance to remember a boy named Richard."

"You can contact her, or even socialize, it's out of the control of the Enforcement Department, but only if you don't leak the Dragon's intelligence to her." Ryder scratched his eyebrows, and saw Helena on the hospital bed up close, and he had to admit that this girl was really beautiful, and he should probably be tempted if he was ten years younger.

"There's something somewhere, it's just a task... But we're still sleeping in the same room tonight? Lin Nian suddenly smiled: "It seems that the diabetes on the case can be temporarily changed to a concussion." ”

"The latter is a lot better in comparison." Ryder turned and walked to the door: "Your mission is over, but I still have a lot of follow-up work, don't go too far for the time being." Caesar, if you still have time, go help the logistics team, Goliath told me in the special line that the star is a bit of a troublemaker, and she desperately wants to find her lawyer to expose us for human experiments or something... With the pride of the Gattuso family, it shouldn't be a problem to get a woman, right? ”

"Do you have a grade point?"

"Count."

"The Gattuso family does have a little pride to soothe a wounded heart." Caesar had no respect for his family at all, and straightened his neckline to follow Ryder.

At this time, there were only two people left in the ward, Lin Nian and Helena, he glanced at Helena who was sleeping on the hospital bed and didn't say anything, there was a place in the pocket of his jacket that bulged out slightly, but he didn't do anything just exhaled and closed his eyes and lay on his side on the hospital bed to rest.
