Chapter 32: Magic
The entire night was spent in chaos and panic at Asford College, and with the addition of police raids, the entire school barely slept.
Xue Qiong slipped out of the school again in the middle of the night, got a motorcycle, and swaggered back to the concession from the slums, and deliberately got into a small argument with people on the road, just to provide a partial explanation for the fact that no one was found in his dormitory when the police conducted a school-wide search.
When he appeared at the gate of Ashford Academy on a cool motorcycle with the sound of a windy engine, he pretended to be surprised by the Britannian police officers surrounding the school, and then accepted the interrogation as a matter of course... Of course, after learning Xue Qiong's identity as a "noble son", he was unconditionally released. To be honest, in Britannia, with this kind of identity protection, even if the police then find out that the prisoner who "kidnapped" Xia Li is really him, eighty percent of them can't do anything.
Making an alibi is the most basic skill, and the director, who also sneaks out to eat barbecue, also submits the medical record certificate to the school the next day for a re-examination by the hospital, which is not necessary for ventilation at all, and they will naturally do it without leakage.
But after dawn, the police dispersed quickly, the most important reason is that the unconscious Nina Einstein has woken up in the hospital and confessed the facts of her crime, although there are still many doubts, but in the case of someone already taking the bag, is it stupid to gather here?
As for Ashford College, it sent a good thank you gift to the Tokyo Concession Police Station as soon as possible... After all, if the student is a murderer, if it is spread, it will inevitably be a devastating blow to the reputation of the school, so Principal Ashuford had to bleed profusely, just to ask the police to "seriously investigate, don't handle unjust, false and wrongful cases", if the evidence is really conclusive, it must also be suppressed.
By the way, he also asked the whole school to continue to attend classes as usual today, and tried to forcibly make this vicious incident as if it had never happened at all.
The time came to the afternoon leisurely, and as usual, the school ended early. The students gathered to complain about the sudden increase in homework, but none of them mentioned last night's incident.
Humans are forgetful. In the atmosphere of the school's forcible whitewashing, the students are not even talking about last night's incident, and the teachers have intentionally or unintentionally increased the pressure to try to divert their attention... At the end of this day, the students who still take this matter to heart are not even 20% left.
"Can you come out a little bit?" Lelouch walked over to Red Moon Kalian's seat, "I have something to tell you. β
"Well, I happen to have something to say here."
The classmates were surprised, after all, these two are very popular among the opposite sex, and this kind of straightforward and sudden standard domineering president speech, and the woman's reaction to not being reserved at all, and directly agreeing... It is indeed very capable of challenging their youthful fantasies.
Xue Qiong disagreed, this was just a manifestation of the normal progress of the plot. Yesterday, because they didn't know the limitations of their new abilities, these two people showed a little stuffing to each other, and now they are ready to deal with the "hidden dangers".
He just crossed his legs in his seat as if nothing mattered to him, continuing the communication in the team communication.
"Yes, the offspring I sent out have seen that Jeremia has completed the coup d'Γ©tat normally, and Batlet is imprisoned... He's pretty clean on that side, right? β
"Well, just clean it up again if necessary."
The matter at hand was almost explained, and Xue Qiong shook out of people's sight step by step, disappeared into the shadows, and then went around to the vicinity of another building, turned on a microcomputer on his wrist, and checked the pictures on it one by one.
Although there was an interruption of emergencies, Xue Qiong continued to fill every corner of the school last night, including the location where the next plot will take place, and the scope of activities of the student union of Asford College... Even the bathroom.
After all, because of the power of the swarm, Lelouch had no need to try to command the guerrillas, nor did he establish any friendship with them, let alone create the vest that the guerrillas called "the voice of mystery" by the guerrillas, and later became zero. When necessary, Xue Qiong still needs to come out and break the plot back.
However, when Lelouch and Karen walked into the halls of the student council (yes, under the global plunder of Britannia, this school was still rich enough to provide a separate villa for the student council in the school), and the two tacitly prepared to say something about the showdown, Xue Qiong looked at the people who appeared one after another in the picture, and suddenly sighed.
There's nothing left for him here.
Student Council President Miley Ashford walked out of the back pushing the food cart, still humming a song in his mouth, and Livar followed behind with a half-human-tall champagne bottle, his face a little embarrassed.
And behind these two student council members, there is also a purple figure, and the guy in an electric wheelchair...
The director even raised his head and squinted proudly at the location where the camera was hidden, which Xue Qiong had never specifically said...
That's why Xue Qiong feels that there is nothing to do with him, after all, this kind of thing, since it is the director who is best at this kind of thing himself, of course he doesn't need to worry.
It's just that Xue Qiong couldn't help but ask in the team newsletter: "Why did you suddenly run to the student union??" β
"After class, a school staff member came to me and asked me to go to the principal's office." While introducing herself to the rest of the group, Tsumiko Poison Island said in the team newsletter, "I went there only to find out that the director was there, and then the old man said that this school rules must join a certain club... Then, without asking our opinions, he just asked someone to lead the way. β
When Poison Island said this, the director lazily added: "Actually, Xia Li was collapsed, Nina was arrested, and it was completely impossible for the student union with only three people to operate normally, and the emotions of these three people also need to be appeased the most, it just so happened that the two of us were not in good health on the surface, and we couldn't go to the sports club, so we were pulled out..."
The six people present, in addition to the fact that the spirit was not normal in the first place, and even this vest that "had suffered some major change", which seemed to allow him to be a little abnormal, still maintained his kind of smile that made people's backs chill, and only Mi Lei had a normal smile, and she didn't seem to notice the atmosphere at all, she picked up a paper tube-shaped thing on the dining car, pulled the rope behind her and made a bang, and said in the flying colorful shredded paper:
"Well done Lelouch! Now that the members of the student council are gathered, let's celebrate together! β
Lelouch was confused, "Uh, what the hell is this..."
"My grandfather, please, several of them are not in good health, but our school rules..."Mi Lei repeated the director's lines just now, but of course the parts that were inconvenient to say were hidden, "Compared to that, let's hurry up and start the welcome party for the new members!" β
However, no one reacted, and the scene became even more awkward...
For people who were originally members of the student union, friends who get along day and night, suddenly one disappears, and the other enters the bureau, and you find a new person after only one day, and then beat gongs and drums here to celebrate?!
Are you kidding me?!
As for the newcomers, Tsumiko Poison Island and Karen Akatsuki are deeply influenced by the Japanese social model, and they habitually do not appear too conspicuous in the new environment, while the director is completely a person who lives in his own world, as long as he is a normal person, he will subconsciously ignore him, because of the subconscious in the human heart, which is responsible for seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, will automatically avoid the feeling of egg pain.
It's just that then again, as the granddaughter of the principal, this kind of forced smile... If she doesn't do it, who will?
Mirey Ashuford forced herself to squeeze out a heap of smiles all over her face, "What's wrong?" Not hungry? Come and try my special appetizer, this is a proud work~ guaranteed..."
"Forget it, President..."Livar patted Millet on the shoulder, the champagne was gone, "At this time..."
"So what else do you want to ?!!?" Mire-Ashford finally couldn't maintain the disguise on her face, and two lines of tears slid down her cheeks, "At this time, even if we are still here crying and chirping, will the two of them come back?!! β
Mi Lei shouted like she lost control, "I'm sad too!" Both of them are my best friends!! But what can we do?! When they come back, they will see us..."
"So now, you all give me G----U-------TS!!" Mirei waved her hand heavily in Livar's direction.
"Is it GUTS magic again? Even so... Huh? Huh?? β
Faced with his favorite president's mantra that forced him to cheer up, Livar still couldn't lift his spirits, but he suddenly found that a cool power really flowed to his body, and the whole person seemed to have suddenly lost weight... I subconsciously waved my hand, and the action was more than twice as fast as usual!!
"That's right." Mi Lei smiled bitterly, "It's real magic, even this kind of thing has happened, now in Xia Li's affairs, can you calm down a little?" β
Outside, Xue Qiong looked at the camera screen and opened her mouth wide in confusion...
