15 Fighting the Teacher (Part I)

The so-called plan can't keep up with the change, which is especially suitable to illustrate the situation at this time - the teacher suddenly appeared in front of everyone!

On April 18, the day after the servant left with Lane, Albert had no time to rest for a moment before he and the rest of the four began preparations for the day. With the exception of Daniel, everyone was very much in favor of keeping the youngest Ryan out of the fight, and trying to preserve the last hope even if everyone's fates were closely linked. They knew that if they didn't defeat the teacher here, bad luck would eventually befall Ryan and the others—and eventually the entire planet. Daniel always believed that Ryan was an indispensable combat force, but at this point, he didn't say anything more.

When the five of them came to the second floor to check out the weird device again, they met the teacher in the hallway!

It's not hard to imagine the shock and horror on the five faces, as they all thought that the teacher would not be back for at least five days. The teacher turned sideways to the five of them, half-crouching to examine the frame of the cracked wooden door, and the white light from the room shone on his expressionless face.

Finally, the expressionless face turned, the body stood up, and the eyes became cold—

"I said, don't try to get into a locked room." The teacher's voice was the same, but in the ears of the crowd it had changed its flavor—the veil of kindness had been lifted, and cunning and cruelty had been revealed.

"Do you know something?" The teacher then asked, not changing much in tone, while taking a step forward. The five of them all slowly stepped back in unison, completely subconscious.

"You all know, right?" The teacher asked again, his brow furrowed, and it was clear that he had already guessed everything from the actions of the five.

The five of them began to tremble, trying to confirm each other's eyes, but their faces could not be twisted for fear.

"Then I can't let you go......" The teacher's eyes suddenly dimmed, sighed, and said something that the five people opposite did not expect: "I'm sorry......"

And then there is -

"Farewell—"

This sentence was like a signal, and the battle between the two sides began!

"Farewell-" before the words fell, there was a loud "bang", and the entire corridor trembled!

The teacher attacked! The five people who were occupied by the horror didn't have time to react at all, only to feel a violent heat wave mixed with something like gravel coming towards everyone! The echo of the loud noise almost ruptured the eardrum! In an instant, with a short and scattered crashing sound, some metal iron balls the size of gravel fell in front of them—

"What?!" To his astonishment, the teacher, the five who were also frightened and frightened, found that there was a long black iron rod-like thing in his hand, from which the iron ball was launched! The iron ball, which was originally intended to attack everyone, seemed to hit an invisible wall and fell to the ground!

"Run! Run! Para's voice woke everyone up, and the five of them turned around and ran backwards at the same time, and the narrow corridor was instantly chaotic, and the sound of chaotic footsteps and mutual urging sounded at the same time! Immediately after, there was another loud bang - "Bang! ”

In the small space, everyone's eardrums felt the echo of this loud noise for the second time, and the feeling of dizziness and nausea quickly came to their hearts. But there was no time to hesitate, escape was the most important thing, and in an instant the five of them fled to the first floor, stopping at the corner of the corridor to hide, Daniel and Albert probe to monitor the teacher's movements at the staircase. In the quiet hallway, the sound of rapid wheezing and chaotic heartbeats can be clearly heard.

"What kind of weapon is that, House, did you see that?" Para's voice was too nervous to make a reasonable break, but even so, she was the most composed of the five.

House's gaze wandered, and beads of sweat rained down his forehead: "Shotgun!" That's a shotgun! A dozen of them, we're all going to die! ”

"Don't talk nonsense! Aren't we still alive? Umi tried to calm the atmosphere, but his own hands and torso were shaking.

"Then why are we okay? I always felt like something was holding those iron beads in the way. Albert calmed his breath slightly, but his eyes never took his eyes off the stairs.

Daniel turned around and explained, "It's Para, she cast a shield magic while the teacher was talking, blocking the attack for us. ”

"One attack broke the shield!" Para took over, "While we turned around and fled, Daniel cast a shield spell as well. As she spoke, she took House's hand and tried to calm him down, at this juncture—

"Bang!"

There was gunfire at the staircase! Then there was the sound of crashing and shattering, and Albert suddenly covered his ears with a pained expression, and red blood flowed from between his fingers.

"I'll come—" Daniel immediately leaned out of the corner, even though it was dangerous, and cast an electric shock spell on the stairs, "Smack! It hit the wall next to the staircase, and a shining electric light burst out! But soon, another gunshot rang out at the staircase—

"Bang!"

Daniel had to retract his head, but fortunately was not injured. Next, Umi casts an electric shock spell on the stairs, and the opponent shoots back!

"Smack!" "Bang!"

Loud noises and blinding electric lights weaved through the hallway, and the two sides were in a standoff. Para examines Albert's wound, but fortunately it is only a bruise, which can be treated simply.

Seeing that there was no movement at the stairs, Daniel poked his head and body out again, in exchange for another "bang", which frightened him into quickly casting a shield magic, but it was immediately broken! Then the gunshots rang out again, but Daniel was quick enough to retreat behind the corner.

House squinted his eyes tremblingly, and quickly straightened them back, his lips trembling as if trying to say something. But the voice came from the other side of the stairs first—

"What is the value of your resistance? Isn't it all a death in the end? The teacher shouted, raising his voice a lot.

"If we don't resist, are we stupid to wait for death?" Albert covered his wound and responded with a rhetorical question.

"Stupid!" The teacher's voice was full of contempt and provocation, "Isn't it good to be a 'guinea pig'?" You have to go and open the locked room. ”

Several people were stunned for a moment, they didn't know what "guinea pig" meant, but they understood that it was definitely not a good word. "Good thing we opened it!" Umi countered, "I didn't expect you to 'harvest' us!" How can such an evil plan allow you to succeed! He knew that it would be difficult for him to defeat his teacher, so he tried not to fall behind in language.

"Ahhh Then you should understand that no matter how hard you try, you can't defeat me! ”

The teacher's words echoed through the hallway, muffling out a slight, rhythmic scraping sound that, though faint, was heard by House, who still trembled as he stretched out his fingers in turn: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven—abruptly!

"How do you know we can't defeat you!" Daniel shouted, then poked his head out to check the situation in the hallway—

"Bang!" "Ahh

The two sounds rang out almost simultaneously, and Daniel fell violently, as if he had been pushed to the ground by a tremendous force - his left shoulder was hit by an iron ball, and his clothes were instantly stained red with blood!

"Be careful!" House, who had been trembling, pulled Daniel back to the corner in an instant, followed by a "bang" gunshot, and the place where Daniel was lying just now was hit by several iron balls, bursting out with sparks!

"It's dangerous!" Umi and Para were frightened and hurriedly checked Daniel's injuries, although they seemed to be not lightly injured, Daniel did not have the slightest expression of pain, but showed a resolute look, in order not to worry others. Albert was worried, but he didn't let go of his mind to monitor the teacher's movements in the hallway.

Just as everyone was hurrying to bandage Daniel, House lowered his voice and said tremblingly, "He'...... Just spoken...... Distract us...... In order to...... Reloading ...... There are seven of them...... Seven bullets ......" The faint grinding sound just now was captured by House's ears, and in combination with the "History of the Development of Small Arms" he had read earlier, he determined the number of bullets to be reloaded at one time.

"Understood, let's rush up while he reloads next time!" Umi immediately said, "House is here to take care of Daniel, Albert Parra, let's go together!" Para nodded, and Albert gestured in agreement.

Umi and Albert take turns venturing to get the teacher to shoot, and the gunfire goes off four more times without the teacher shouting a word.

Finally, the fifth gunshot rang out! After the seven bullets of this round were fired, the faces of Umi, Albert and Para suddenly tensed, and their bodies tensed, ready to rush out.

Sure enough, the teacher's voice came from the staircase again: "Now that you have learned the truth, don't you feel sad? I can live the rest of my life in peace, but now I'm going to die here......"

There was no response, Umi made a gesture, and the three of them rushed to the stairs together, and in an instant they almost collided with the teacher who was checking the situation at the top of the stairs!

"W-" The startled teacher's eyes widened, he didn't expect the other party to make a move, and in a hurry, he pointed his gun at the three people who were already close -

"Bang!"

Why? Why are there still bullets? Shocked, House stood still completely, his expression frozen, his heart was completely occupied by panic and worry - this gunshot meant that the three people who rushed forward were dead at this time! And that's all based on the information he provides......

Equally shocked and worried, Daniel looked down the stairs despite his injuries and couldn't see anyone, and he decided in despair that the operation had failed......

Suddenly, a black stick flew from the staircase to the corner! "Bang la ......" fell in front of House and Daniel -

"It's, shotguns! They...... They ......," said House, surprised and delighted, and he was finally able to move, and looked up at the stairs, and saw an unexpected scene—

"We're fine! All three of them were fine. Umi beckoned to them, "Don't move, it's not over yet!" ”

"Great, they're fine!" Daniel said excitedly, and House also showed a look of relief, and the hanging hearts of the two finally relaxed for the time being.

——

For some reason, another bullet came out of the teacher's shotgun, and it was aimed at the three people who rushed forward, but at the critical moment, the thoughtful Para still cautiously cast a shield magic to block the fatal shot. Although the shield magic was shattered in an instant, the iron orbs were perfectly blocked and fell to the ground. However, the muzzle of the gun still hindered the three men's onslaught, and in the confusion, Albert knocked the teacher's shotgun and the bullets that had not had time to reload to the ground, and the teacher, who had lost his weapon, took the torch from the wall and threw it at the three men, almost setting their clothes on fire, and the teacher took advantage of the chaos to run to the room where the strange device was kept. The three of them immediately extinguished their torches, carefully alerting the teacher for a sudden attack. To prevent the teacher from picking up the shotgun again, Umi threw it downstairs in the corner where House and Daniel were.

After waving to the two men in the corner, Umira picked up Parra, who had fallen to the ground, and slowly advanced to the last room, along with Albert, who had just taken out the iron sword from his room, where the teacher was, and he couldn't escape. The three of them used torches to illuminate the corridor and the door of the room, for fear that the teacher would escape from it in an unpredictable way, but fortunately nothing happened.

When the three of them thought that the teacher was about to make the last stubborn resistance, the white light that had been shining through the room suddenly dimmed. Albert and Para glanced at each other, and Para held up her magic shield again, and Umi was ready to go.

Heavy footsteps suddenly sounded in the room, and the three of them immediately became vigilant: because the teacher was barefoot and did not make a loud noise, what kind of person or thing could make a footstep sound?

The answer to the puzzle is revealed in no time -

A tall humanoid black figure walked out of the room!
