Volume I: The Rise of the Apostles 40
Samen Lefou's eye lines were deep, and in just a few dozen minutes, he seemed to be ten years old. It is as if the life that was already declining is on the verge of death.
The ghost door seems to be slowly opening towards him...
"What is your purpose?" Samen Lefu sighed and asked.
…
From a distance, Bai Lan and Chen Jingzhu saw the unique silver star ring school gate. The two looked at each other.
Just as the two were about to step into the campus, the hunchbacked doorman who was sweeping the fallen leaves at the school gate waved to the two tremblingly.
Nowadays, with a very high level of modernization, identification relies on system instruments, and security work generally relies on machine guards. Perhaps, it is to experience life, after all, the place where the college is located is generally also the retirement place of many teachers.
"Alas, little young man, you are... What are you going to do in there? "The teeth in the old man's mouth are all gone, and his language is very unclear.
Bai Lan thoughtfully glanced at the iris identifier on the side of the Xinghuan school gate, smiled and said, "Ah, we are here to visit our little daughter." My wife and I were on a business trip a few months ago, and today we just returned to Yanjing to see our daughter. Moreover, we are going to work in the field again tonight, so the time is very urgent, uncle, you see? ”
Chen Jingzhu glanced at Bai Lan strangely, but also followed Bai Lan's words, showing his demeanor as both eager and hopeful, and ashamed. She smiled at the old man as well.
The old man slowly approached with stumbling steps. He lifted his hunchback slightly, and his eyes, which were about to narrow into two slits, opened slightly, as if he wanted to see their faces clearly under the harsh morning sun.
"Well, you young people... Really, what do you think of your children and your family? But since it's for the sake of watching the children..."The old man lifted the broom he was holding slightly, as if he was going to hit the two of them on the head.
"So, let us in? Our official documents are very formal, as long as you pass the identification device, you should be able to enter. Bai Lan said with a gentle smile on her face. Chen Jingzhu didn't speak, but she felt the temptation from Bai Lan's smile.
"Ahem..."The slightly cold wind seemed to make the old man's lungs suffer.
"No... You can't just go to school, but what if there are bad people? Well, tell me your daughter's name and class, and I'll ask the teacher to bring the child out to meet you. The old man said empathetically.
"That's... Let's forget it, let's not disturb the child's class for now, and when she eats at noon, we'll call her out. Thank you, uncle. Bai Lan stepped forward to hold the uncle's hands, kindly, and shook them gently, and then he glanced at Chen Jingzhu and walked back.
…
"Questions?" Chen Jingzhu frowned lightly.
Bai Lan nodded and said, "The identifier and his existence seem to be very discordant. Moreover, any school, as long as it is an official government background, as long as the scan passes, anyone will be allowed to enter. But as if he didn't know the rules, he insisted on making up false excuses to stop us. If he had been here for many years, he should not have been unaware of these rules, after all, they are always used every year when the Ministry of Education personnel inspect anonymously. His hands are not the hands that he should have... Even if the apostles had the power of Transfiguration, very few of them were able to do it in all aspects. ”
"You mean—" Chen Jingzhu became a little nervous.
Bai Lan turned her head and carefully glanced at the doorman who continued to sweep the fallen leaves, and said, "That's right, he should be a disguised peripheral winder." And the entire Silver Academy, most likely, has been held hostage. ”
"Contact PD-D, IBDC." Bai Lan tugged at his collar, when it came to a tense and critical moment, he always wanted to get a Silver Island cigarette. And now in his pocket, there are only a few pieces of chocolate that Chen Jingzhu gave him to quit his smoking addiction.
…
"Our purpose, um-" The ghost mask lengthened his voice.
"I won't tell you, hehe!" The ghost mask threw the dagger in his hand into a knife.
"Make a decision quickly, Mr. Samen Lefou, we won't be like you all the time, from now on, every minute that passes, we will kill someone." Time is precious for assassinations, and opportunities are often fleeting. And no matter how carefully woven the net, with the passage of time, there is also a moment when it is broken.
The students, who were dying and had been pierced through their chests, looked at Samen Lefu with pale faces.
"As you wish, I'll cut myself, and I'm sure you won't trust my corpse easily, right? In that case, it's up to you to do it yourself. The old voice of Samen Lefu was full of calmness.
The gaze under the ghost mask seemed to glance at the hostage-holding assassin behind Samon Lefou. "Do it, Kagezo."
The assassin behind Samon Lefu nodded. Subsequently, a doppelganger with the same body shape appeared behind Samon Lefou.
"[Mind Control] [Untouchable] [Illusion] [Strength], we all know your holy energy, don't play tricks." Just as the cone in the hand of the assassin's doppelganger was about to pierce into Samon Lefu's body, the ghost mask of the leader said.
Suddenly, the head of the ghost mask turned to the left, and the communication device that seemed to be hidden reacted. "Oh, is it so fast, you have to hurry."
And yet, at this moment—
The hostage-taking Assassins suddenly drew their weapons and stabbed themselves in the head. Plasma and whitened brain plasma pierce through the tip of the weapon!
And the bodies of the apostolic students who were held hostage disappeared from the spot in an instant!
The movement in the hand of the ghost mask who was playing with the dagger froze, and the voice became eerie. "No, old man. Large-scale illusions, large-scale mind manipulation, it's really wonderful, it seems that you don't care about those living beings at all. ”
"Even though you hid them with illusions, do you think we're so aware of your powers that we're going to have a few Assassins against you?" The ghost mask continued to flick the knife flower, and did not seem to be in a hurry to make a move.
"Find out the old thing and the little ones in their bodies, Shadow Four." The ghost mask that is suspected to be the leader, and in his shadow, an assassin dressed as a ghost mask comes out.
"Bino, found it!"
Samon Lefou's original position is where his body is, and those injured students have long been hidden by Samon Lefou's vision, not far behind him. Since their wounds were not truly fatal, they were now only pale from blood loss. At this time, I don't know what kind of holy energy there is among the assassins, and the illusion covered by Samen Lefu was directly broken!
…
Seeing the situation in the venue, Huang Yun became excited. Just as she was about to rush in to save the apostolic students—
"Don't move!"
Hundreds of assassins emerged from the shadows of the apostle cadets outside the venue! Their weapons pierced the chests of most of the cadets!
The screams of panic began to spread, and Huang Yun and the other high-level executives didn't dare to take another half step!
…
"Do you want some of the apostles with [teleportation] or [space] to come in and help you protect these students? Unfortunately, you don't know what's going on out there, tsk! The head of the ghost mask had a gloomy voice.
"However, I can tolerate your willfulness once, but not a second time. Bestow the head, or the hostages inside and outside this venue will die! ”
"Your [Mind Manipulation] is useless to me, and you don't have to fight hard, tsk!" The dagger of the ghost mask was thrown at Samon Lefou, and at the same time, his body turned into a black shadow and appeared directly in front of Samon Lefou!
"By the way, your [Untouchable] is useless!" The ghost mask was almost attached to Samon's forehead. In an instant, four identical figures, holding pitch-black daggers, stabbed from all sides of Samen Lefu at the same time!
…
"Dean!" "Dean!" ——
The executives close to Samen Lofous saw the image and their eyes were torn. They tried to help, but the ghost masks were clearly prepared—hundreds of hostages, immobilizing them.
"It's a lot of ideas to break the [Spirit of Words] with pain, but you've still been stabbed."
One of Samon Lefu's bodies was pierced with blood by the dagger, but the other three daggers seemed to be pierced in the illusion. Along with the arms of the three ghost masks, they melted into the unreal.
The blood from Samon Lefou's mouth sprayed on the pigtail mustache on his chin, and the blood stained the braid red.
"I'll tell you another good news, those who were killed by you with [mind control] just now, my subordinates, actually- just clones of my boss!" Ghost Mask smiled, then clapped his hands.
In an instant, from the shadows of those fallen corpses, dozens of ghost masks emerged again!
"Do you want to resist? In fact, you haven't killed any of them until now. You are strong, but we hold hostages and know your weaknesses, and you don't know anything about us! Oni Mask raised his hands and said loudly as he stood in front of Samon Lefu. His three doppelgangers continued to retain the posture of stabbing into Samon Lefou's illusory body, so that Samon Lefu could not be completely transformed into a physical entity at all - he was blocked.
"Information asymmetry, how else are you going to play?! I said - [untouchable] is useless! The dagger of the ghost mask showed no mercy and plunged into Samon Lefou's chest again, this time, without deflecting - right in the middle of the mouth. And the three doppelgangers, with blood on their arms, were drawn from three parts of Samon Lefou's body.
…
There was a dead silence outside the venue. The hundreds of ghost masks holding hostages outside the arena reintegrated into the shadows beneath the apostle cadets.
…
In the image of the Chronicle, Samen Lefu is lying in a pool of blood. The Assassins melted into their shadows, and their shadows grew smaller and smaller until they shrank into black dots in the light, and then vanished...
…
The higher-ups led the students into the venue, while some of the apostle students ran outside the Silver World Academy, trying to contact the outside world.
What is happening here today will be one of the worst cases of kidnapping in the 22nd century—hundreds of apostolic students were seriously injured and several apostolic students died; The Apostle of the Purple Cardinal, the highly respected and honored Apostolic Citizen of the Star Federation, and the dean of the Silver Apostolic Academy for more than 20 years, Samen Lefu Fuller, died tragically in this case.
