Chapter 1 Afternoon
"Is that you?"
"It's me."
"Looks like I guessed right?"
"Hmm."
"And what are you doing here?"
"Kill you."
"Okay."
There was a warm touch on the neck, and it tightened more and more. Gradually, I couldn't breathe, and the feeling of lack of oxygen took over my thoughts.
Thinking became more and more sluggish, and bright red covered the pupils from the bottom up. Is that blood?
Is this what death feels like?
It's heavy.
So boring.
Good......
Li Su sat up suddenly, his pupils tightened, he breathed heavily, his hands clenched the thin quilt on his body, and the cold sweat soaked through the vest. Outside the window, the noisy chirping of birds and the sultry wind came through the window, and the shadows of the leaves sprinkled on the floor of the room, speckled with spots.
Kassel College, Illinois, two p.m.
There is a dull ache in the brain, probably in the prefrontal lobe. Li Su stretched out his hand to cover his head and felt a fine layer of sweat.
I had a similar dream again, someone came to kill me. It's just that it's not as clear and immersive as this time before.
He couldn't remember who the other party was, and he couldn't remember where this conversation took place, and Li Su had no impression of it. Relatively speaking, my body seems to be more violent, and the feeling of lack of oxygen seems to remain in my body.
Li Su rolled over and got out of bed, ready to stand up, but the soles of his feet were also covered with a layer of sweat, which made him slip.
The body did not react as quickly as usual, but stiffened, and at the moment of stiffness, he slapped his whole body on the ground. It didn't hurt, but it seemed like I lost consciousness, and it took a while before I could regain precise control of my body.
Standing up on the bedside table, moving his limbs slightly, there was nothing serious, it seemed to be just an instant loss of strength after holding the same movement for a long time. But will the dragons take a nap and sleep off? Not even ordinary humans.
The sweat on his body was sticky and very uncomfortable, Li Su took two clean clothes, walked into the bathroom and turned on the faucet. Cold water is poured down the head and face, flowing down the surface of the body at a high temperature and then dripping on the marble tiles, creating a lot of noise.
Finally sobered up.
Drying his hair with a bath towel and changing into dry clothes, Li Su took a glass of water, supported the simple counter in the kitchen to replenish water, and slowly recalled this dream.
But I can't think of anything, and there is even a tendency to gradually forget. It was not the process but the feeling that was forgotten, and Li Su gradually couldn't recall the feeling of suffocation.
What the hell is this...... What is it?
The ringing of his cell phone interrupted his thoughts.
When I took it, it was a text message from Norma. But the text message was written not by Norma, but by Director Adukara of the Equipment Department, and the content was as bizarre as ever.
Li Su:
The trumpet has been given, and Gabriel will blow it when the hour comes.
Adukala
This is the book of Revelation in the Bible, where seven angels blew their trumpets and destroyed a third of the world. As a Christian, Director Adukara naturally sees his work as something of the level of a trumpet of destruction. Gabriel is the second of the angels, and sometimes Director Adukara calls him that. The repaired machine zero was "Michael", and the second machine built later was "Raphael".
As for Hai Shi, it was because the elder began to study Kan and Xue after the Beijing incident......
So the meaning of this phrase is to let him go to Vat Alheim in the evening to experiment with new equipment. It's not the first time I've done this job, and I'm familiar with it.
There was no news about anything else, and after thinking about it, Li Su sent her an email.
"Illinois has started to heat up, and the new leaves of the sycamore trees are growing, which is beautiful. How are you doing? ”
Waited for a while, but there was no reply.
It's also a bit of a habit.
The mail was addressed to Kotono.
Unlike other countries, due to the high cost of SMS and low data fees, email is more common in Japan than SMS.
It's been a week since school started, but Kotono didn't come to class. Li Su went to inquire and found that the students of the entire Japanese branch were absent. It seems that this group of guys found out that the academy's actions after finding the god's burial place were quite thorough.
At the same time, they also seem to have closed off the students' contact with the outside world, and Li Su's emails have not been answered.
It's so boring, Li Su sighed, not knowing what to do.
———————————
"Fuck off." Li Su's face was cold and he looked quite angry. He was about to slam the door when Director Adukara pounced on him with a look of earnestness.
"Li Su! It's not a very difficult job! The organization needs you! ”
"Isn't it difficult? Isn't it very difficult to get a bomb?! I suspect you've overdosed on sulfur and need to wash your brain. Li Su was about to kick it away, but after thinking about it, this guy still provided himself with a lot of equipment, and he couldn't bear it.
"Don't you have a dustless place!"
"Just because you can protect against explosions like batteries doesn't mean you can protect against real explosives! The two are not an order of magnitude at all! What's more, it's the explosives you guys made! ”
"Rest assured!" Director Adukara hurriedly put his heart in his mind. "This is a refined sulfur bomb! The Refined Brimstone Bomb has a very small explosion power and is fine for blasting experiments inside Vat Alheim, but when it explodes, it emits a special alchemical sulfur powder and evaporates a huge amount of mercury vapor. Although the power of this bomb is not large, it can be used against dragons, but it has three effects: penetration, corruption and erosion, and even the dragon king cannot resist its power! ”
"I rely on the triple effect?! How do you make the dustless land resist? I couldn't even carry a tooth at the beginning! "Li Su is really ready to leave.
"Li Su! Li Su! I promise we will always remember you if you dedicate your life! Forever! "Director Adukara really does everything.
"I haven't lived enough! I don't care about you! When it came to this, Li Su wanted to lift the table even more.
"And we have precautions! Don't you believe in your own words and don't believe in our protection? We are professional! ”
"Professional? You're a bomb expert! But hearing this, Li Su still stopped. It seems that the guys in the equipment department are not crazy enough to test his life.
"We're also very professional in this area!" Seeing that Li Su stopped and knew that things had taken a turn for the better, Director Adukara hurriedly patted his chest and assured. "Isn't the one who can make the most effective bomb the one who knows the most about defense!"
"Sounds reasonable......"
"So let's go! Without further ado! Director Adukara took Lu Mingfei's hand and walked into the test site, raised his hand and pointed to something in the middle of the test site. That's your protective equipment! We're okay with you! ”
Looking at some familiar things in front of him, Li Su's face twitched.
"I think...... You're playing with me. ”
