Chapter 11: Awakening
Ye Yu took a deep breath and his eyes changed
He now had two options, the first was not to get involved in the matter and let Ange's plan work
The second option is to participate in and change this plan, or Ye Yu intends to trade with Zero hidden behind the invasion of the dragon clan
There is no absolute hostility, there is no absolute friendliness, as long as Ye Yu grasps Zero's intentions, he can make Zero make concessions at key points
Just like in the Black Swan Harbor, the last deal to escape, although this will make Zero want to kill him even more, but Ye Yu can only do this
Because Renata is still "working" under Zero's hand, if she wants Renata back, she must give up, and Ye Yu can't be clearer about Zero's character
Ye Yu opened the [Flash] and hid behind the so-called dragon clan who were flying on the library like a shelter, leaving only a slight sigh still lingering in place
Seriously feeling the intruder sneaking in front of him, Ye Yu suddenly noticed that the aura on the other party's body actually resonated a little with the breath of the mark on his neck
The surprised Ye Yu blinked, subconsciously opened his mouth, and squeezed out four words from his mind with difficulty
Nibelungen??
A flash of light crossed Ye Yu's mind, everything was clear, the dragon clan in front of him was the real dragon clan, the dragon king with a huge Nibelungen, and a twin, obviously there was a dragon king in the bone bottle who had not awakened, of course, judging from the dragon attendant who was crazy under the water of the Three Gorges, it could also be determined from the side
So, a new question arises, how did Angers know?
In other words, Ye Yu squinted his eyes and stared at the tail of the "gecko" tightly, Ange never thought that this dragon clan would come, that is, Ange didn't know the rules of one king and two sons at all
But if this plan succeeds anyway, it will be the first time in the history of the Kassel Academy that it has fought back against a pure-blood dragon, oh no, but a frontal lure plus kill
From the pure-blooded dragons' invasion of the academy that led to the degeneration of the Lionheart Society from a secret party to the current community organization, to the Glen Linghai incident, Cassel has been lurking in the dragon attack in this process, and now the counterattack has just begun
The breeze blew, Ye Yu smelled a trace of blood, and smiled contemptuously
With the spatial power from the Phantom Pupil, Ye Yu easily came behind the No. 13 infiltrator and silently watched him climb from the chimney into the library
Witnessing the No. 13 Punnuo entering the library without anyone, he took out the black card from his pocket with a blank face and swiped it on the access control slot
drop, access control
"Hip Hop Hip Hop!" A strange voice startled Number 13.
"Good evening, would you like a drink, sir?" This night was awesome, wasn't it? ”
The muzzle of the Morning 13 shotgun is a metal golem only half a man tall, consisting of a pile of shiny metal short sticks, like a magnetic toy played by city children. But not only did the guy now bend down, but he had a funny face and a coquettish smile
"This toy is too advanced, isn't it?" Number 13 cramped in the face and kicked the golem into a pile of scattered metal sticks
He looked around, and it was obvious that it was a room where the central host was kept, black metal boxes running from the floor to the roof, flashing lights, and what appeared to be countless blade processors being put together. Other than that, there was nothing in the place, and the only big display was black
Of course, there is still the underground passage on the map, right in front of it, next to the main cabinet group
"Magical place." Number 13 thought that he should have shot out the group of hosts, so that perhaps the alert system would be paralyzed
But he didn't want to expose his position, and he didn't want to ruin the things of this campus fantasy lover
The academy had been friendly to him so far, which made him a little touched
The pile of metal sticks rolled, and they actually made themselves into puppets, and rolled to the back of No. 13 with a grunt, "EVA, our yard has been kicked!" , EVA, our yard has been mentioned! ”
"What kind of mess?" Turning around on the 13th, his heart twitched and almost stopped beating in an instant
"Hey, good evening!" He said involuntarily, smiling
Behind him was a faint light from top to bottom, and an almost transparent shadow stood in the light, it was a long-haired girl, wearing a silk pajamas, so cute that it was unreal, which made No. 13 feel ashamed of himself when he was excited, and he felt that he had broken into someone's bedroom by mistake.
The girl actually nodded at No. 13, "Who are you?" ”
No. 13 hesitated, "I'm just a passerby"
He discovered that the girl was a holographic projection, but the lifelike demeanor made him willing to talk to her as a person
"You violated the rules and hacked into the central host control room, and your file is not recorded in the academy. I built it in 2001 and you used a pre-built perk card, I should call the police right now, I know you're an enemy, but your permission requires me to treat you as my own" EVA SAID, "THEN I'LL GIVE YOU ONE LAST WARNING, GET OUT OF HERE AT ONCE!" ”
"Leave immediately?? Don't be funny······ I. No. 13 scratched his head, "I came all the way on a motorcycle······ I'm tired enough."
EVA stared at him in silence
"Now that I have a privilege card... So, can you tell me where the ice cellar is? Number 13 looked at the girl cautiously
The girl stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction
"Oh, thank you" Number 13 didn't know what expression to use to face the girl, and left in a hurry
The girl silently watched as Number 13 disappeared around the corner, then turned to stare at a spot in the control room again
"Come out, I know you're there, even though the surveillance here can't catch you," the girl said with a little surprise
Nothing has changed
The girl continued, "There are gravity sensors on the ground in the control room, and although I can't see you, the data the system gives me indicates your existence," and pointed to a corner of the control room
Ye Yu smiled bitterly and showed his figure, holding the black card that No. 13 had just taken out, which had just been stolen from No. 13
Blinking at the girl in front of him, Ye Yu waved the black card in his hand, "Senior sister, isn't it boring for you to stay here alone?" ”
Since the girl said that she was established in 2001, Ye Yu has guessed many things, but there are some things that are good as long as you know, and there is no need to say them
The girl smiled silently, but inexplicable pain and regret flashed in her eyes
Ye Yu bowed slightly, walked along the place where No. 13 left, turned around and said to the girl with a smile, "Senior sister, there's no problem with letting me in, right?" Anyway, all went into a mess."
The girl didn't speak, silently watching Ye Yu disappear into the entrance of the ice cellar
------------------------ ------------------ cut ------------------- line--------------------------
After a seemingly thrilling aquarium shark incident, No. 13 walked towards the front of the ice cellar step by step
It reminded Ye Yu of his experience of jumping off the Lenin, and inexplicably remembered that Renata's heart was dark again, more than the 13th, [flashed] to the place where the ice cellar experimented, and Ye Yu planned to wait here for the arrival of the 13th
The Schcordi district, fifty meters underground
The one-man tall brass canister is firmly held in the center of the magnetic levitation field by four robotic arms.
"Good, release the robotic arm." Someone clapped their hands
The robotic arm was carefully removed, and the brass tank was steadily suspended in a magnetic field in a low-temperature liquid nitrogen atmosphere, surrounded by a half-meter-thick wall of quartz glass.
It's like a developing fetus sleeping inside its mother's body, a special oval quartz glass cover that uses no metal at all and is fired by the entire technician of a California glass company for up to a year and a half to ensure that it meets the customer's demanding requirements.
"Perfect!" The entire team of researchers, dressed in white lab coats, stood up and applauded
"Let me be pleased to announce here, Dragon King Norton, that the capture has been successful." Ange, the headmaster of the Kassel Academy, raised the champagne, "After capturing the Dragon King, we have succeeded in capturing Norton, two of the four princes of the first dragon race, although we have paid a lot of price, but it is also a great success, ladies and gentlemen, to those who have dedicated their lives to our cause." ”
All the researchers raised their glasses solemnly
The phone on the console rang, and the principal put down his glass and grabbed the phone, "Schneider?" It's me, I've just come back······ Yes, I've asked the Night's Watch to lift the spirit? Precepts······ Do you need to worry so much? After lifting the 'precepts', you have Caesar and Chu Zihang plus Ye Yu, and I am very confident in their strength······ Okay, that's it, buy us time, as the head of the academy, I now have important research work to do······ ······ of course." The headmaster smiled slightly, "I've dissected the Dragon King." ”
He hung up.
"For thousands of years," he turned to the researchers, "we have followed in the footsteps of the dragons, and we have used alchemy, cold weapons, and even evil witchcraft as weapons against the dragons, and we have paid a terrible sacrifice. The truth of history quietly continues in our hands, that is, if the dragons are revived, there will be no future for humanity. But all we can do is make great sacrifices and briefly put the dragonlords to sleep, their mighty spirits still alive, conceived, and waiting to be resurrected again. ”
"But now that we've got a weapon," Ange said, "that's ······ Science. ”
The researchers applauded
"So far, there are 118 kinds of speech spirits that have been proven, and more than 60% of them have been scientifically explained, which provides a sufficient theoretical basis for us to fight these speech spirits. In addition, the study of dragon genetic mapping, dragon family genealogy, and dragon history has also allowed us to learn more about dragons. But the only problem is that so far we have not been able to obtain a perfect specimen, the living and intact skeleton of the dragon is too difficult to obtain, and as you all already know, the captured living body is a juvenile, not fully developed, and lacks sufficient research value. The principal pointed to the copper canisters that were segregated in sealed glass silos, "But today, it will be a historic day." ”
"Headmaster, what is the point of dissecting dragon bones for research?" A researcher raised his hand.
The headmaster smiled, "First of all, we need to confirm whether dragons are reptiles or not, although we have always agreed that dragons are highly intelligent lizards and possess supernatural abilities, but there is no research to refer to, except for the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop game rulebook······"
The researchers laughed
"Second, the skeleton of an adult dragon is useful for studying its evolutionary process, and we still can't be sure whether the dragons were a species that evolved from ancient reptiles, or if they were alien at all, or ······ The theory of evolution is fundamentally wrong. The headmaster rubbed his hands, "It's exciting to recognize that dragons did exist in history, and that many things that we once thought were right are going to be rewritten." ”
"Is there any living body in the brass jar?" Another researcher raised his hand
"It is uncertain that this brass jar was cast about 33 A.D., and it is difficult to say who the caster was, it is a bone flask, and it is buried a courtier of Gongsun Shu, the ruler of southwest China at the time, Li Xiong. It was this person who persuaded Gongsun Shu to be the emperor, and showed Gongsun Shu the miracle of 'in front of the palace of the dragon', so that Gongsun Shu became the emperor, and the year name was 'Longxing'. Moreover, Li Xiong believes that according to the Chinese theory of elements, Gongsun Shu represents the West and belongs to 'gold'. He even had a strange prophecy, 'Eight Days, Twelve Periods', which is a bad omen, and 'Eight Days' is the Chinese character for 'Gong', and the Zi line means 'Sun', and 'Twelve Periods' means that Gongsun has only been emperor for twelve years. Sure enough, twelve years later, Gongsun Shu died at the hands of Liu Xiu, another ruler of China. And Li Xiong, although he once served as an important official as Da Situ, history does not record his results. ”
"Is he buried in it?"
"It's sealed in it," the Headmaster stared at the copper jar, "the copper jar was the coffin that the dragon king Norton had cast for himself, and the cage in which he had imprisoned himself, and he had been placed in this cage in a huge bronze city that he had forged to prevent outsiders from discovering it. It is both a seal and a protection. Li Xiong, presumably the name of the Dragon King Norton in that generation, crossed Eurasia to China, and no one knew his purpose. ”
"How do we open the copper can?"
"In terms of real texture, the jar wasn't copper, or even metal, even though it looked like it. It is made of some kind of alchemical material, and its composition is unknown. The elemental doctrine of the dragon clan is the four basic elements of earth, water, wind, and fire, plus the fifth, the great power that runs through everything, the spirit.
Norton, the dragon king, is the king of fire and the king of metal, and both fire and metal are important forces to awaken him. So the thing that seals him must never be metal. We designed such a quartz glass cavity to house him for the same purpose, he is now in a low temperature, absolutely no metal environment, and the uniform strong magnetic field keeps him in the air. The principal was confident, "This is absolute safety in the scientific sense." ”
Once again, there was a round of applause
"The mistakes of a hundred years ago cannot be repeated." The headmaster whispered
The researchers did not understand the meaning of his words and continued to applaud
The scientists of the Interdisciplinary Research Department of the Kassel Academy felt a great privilege to be invited as the best of the best to participate in this epoch-making dissection and witness a great moment in the history of science
"Excuse me, Headmaster, what's the matter with the notch in the copper can?" It was discovered that the upper part of the copper pot was cracked, and the black crack extended all the way to the inside of the copper can
"It's possible that Professor Mance of the Executive Department used the 'Grey Tin Solution' on him, a liquid we obtained from Egyptian tombs, and it is the only liquid that can melt this alchemical material so far." The headmaster hesitated for a moment, "Why don't we start an MRI scan on it first?" ”
The MRI scan was immediately activated, and the results of the three-dimensional reconstruction were displayed on a huge screen, and in an instant, everyone's faces changed
A huge chill fell on everyone's heart, and they realized that they were prematurely optimistic
"Two cavities ······" Someone whispered
"A cavity ······" Someone else said
The structure of the pot is clearly revealed, with the inside of the pot being divided into two halves, one half curled up with what appears to be a human-looking skeleton, and the other half ······ Empty.
That disturbing crack is located just above the cavity!
"What's there······ Escaped from inside," the headmaster whispered, "Hell, that gap wasn't caused by the gray tin solution... It's an old wound... Yes, the crack of the dragon egg!! ”
The last sentence Principal Angers didn't say: "That's the crack in the dragon egg hatching!" ”
Ye Yu finally appeared in the corner of the laboratory, silently watched No. 13 blend into the scientific research members without hindrance, easily entered the cryogenic cabin, and pushed an equipment cart slowly approaching the huge copper tank
The comedy is that No. 13, who was stunned in front of the copper can, quickly took out the shotgun from his clothes, and turned to face the researcher outside the reinforced glass screen, "If you're not afraid of death, raise your hand for me!" ”
The principal paused for a moment, and immediately raised his hands high, and the other scientific research members had the words "I don't believe it" written on their faces, but they still obediently raised their hands with Ange
Ye Yu paused, his gaze paused in No. 13's backpack
"Headmaster Angers, I've known for a long time·····" Ye Yu's gaze did not shift, and silently watched what the principal would do next
"That's it, the report adds a sentence that says that the inside story was observed through the gap, and nothing was observed." Number 13 thought, "It's just like······ Someone inside took a look at him. ”
But it is obviously impossible here, and at the low temperature of liquid nitrogen, even if there are flagellates in it, they will freeze to death
"Let's just take it as a report on the high school field practice class, and make do with it." 13 kicked open the door of the cryogenic chamber
A researcher suddenly lifts the transparent plastic lid from the worktop and snaps the red button inside
"'Dragon's Lair' is in closed mode! Closed mode! "Stern schoolgirls echo in the air
The reinforced cover outside the quartz glass cavity behind No. 13 snapped tightly, and as many as twelve sealing valves were fastened at the same time, while a large amount of liquid nitrogen was injected into the quartz glass cavity
"Are you calling the police? Are you robbing a 24-hour convenience store when I? "Number 13 was very annoyed by this sudden situation
He should have put the saw-pipe shotgun at the researcher's head and blasted him in the head, but he fainted and soaked through the aquarium. So he stepped forward and kicked the guy over, knocking him over and knocking out seven or eight researchers. Taking advantage of the chaos, No. 13 turned around and rushed out of the lab
"Smack!" 13 turned around, only to see the gray tin bottle falling out of his pocket, rolling on the ground, flying too hard.
It was one of the pieces of equipment that his employer had sent him before Yingdong, but he was told to carry it with him, without saying what it was for, and it looked like a cultural relic. After a moment's hesitation, Number 13 felt that there was really no need to go back and pick up this useless thing, so he ran wildly towards the end of the passage
"Stop him!" The headmaster shouted
The researchers woke up and swarmed outside
In the shadow of the low-temperature hatch, Ye Yu sighed lowly, and everyone chased him out, and no one noticed him in the chaos
Ye Yu walked out of the shadows, picked up the tin bottle left by No. 13, walked to the quartz glass cavity, and inserted a black card into the card slot on the operating table
In a sense, if Ye Yu wants to trade with Zero, he must first lead Zero out, but the premise of drawing it out is to make Zero realize that he has the ability and strength to intervene and change his plan
A cold glint flashed in Ye Yu's eyes, and the movements in his hands became even more powerful
"This will cause the Dragon's Lair to open, and there is a possibility that Norton, the Lord of Bronze and Fire, will awaken
Operation prohibited! Operation prohibited! Operation prohibited! Norma's voice echoed above the lab, buzzing, all the lights on, and red light swept through the lab
"Keep quiet, Norma" Ye Yu pulled down the hand valve and cut off the communication between the entire laboratory and Norma
The main power is cut off, Norma's voice disappears, and the lights go out in turn, leaving only the alarm beep with only the power supply, and the alarm light rotates
In the darkness flowed the crimson of the police lights, like the crimson of magma, the crimson of blood······ The crimson of the apocalypse
Illuminate Ye Yu's expressionless face
That's right, Ye Yu just wants to speed up the awakening of the King of Bronze and Fire and let Zero know
The temperature rose rapidly, the high-speed rotating electron flow in the superconducting magnetic field decayed, the quartz glass cavity suspended in mid-air slowly descended, the twelve sealing valves were unsealed at the same moment, a huge amount of white steam erupted, and the reinforced cover that was enough to resist the strafing of the submachine gun opened
Ye Yu slowly opened his pupils
A bluish knife mark was left in the glass wall, the vacuum inside was destroyed, and air screamers poured in
The space in front of Ye Yu gradually distorted, cutting off the bottleneck of the gray tin bottle and aiming the fracture at the crack.
The gray-tin-colored liquid followed the knife marks into the quartz glass cavity, circulating along the inner wall of the glass wall like a thin snake, away from the copper pot in the center, as if afraid of it. But as more and more liquid enters the glass cavity, the ash stream begins to boil and bubble, making a clattering and peeling sound, like something alive, is emitting······ Cheers before victory!!
