Chapter 60: The Secret of the Crystal Ball
After the lie was exposed, John calmly said with a sad face: "This student, I have to regret to admit that what you have heard is indeed true. The Blue Star of Cado borders the Outlands and is often harassed by pirates, and the Empire launched an encirclement campaign against the pirates there a few months ago, but unfortunately it ended in failure, but I would like to state that it was the Imperial Army, not the Federation, that returned to the Empire. ”
The mysterious woman teased casually: "What does Mr. Chief mean that if you change to the army of the Federation, you can win a big victory?" Triumphant return? ”
The students in the audience were in an uproar, and such a statement was nothing more than to maintain the dignity of the federal army, but it belittled the empire.
John's hateful teeth itched after noticing the gaffe, and said fiercely: "Please don't tell this student, I'm not slandering the Imperial army, and the defeat may be due to the lack of experience of the Imperial Army in fighting pirates for too long." And the army of the Federation, which is fighting pirates all the time, has obvious advantages. ”
The mysterious woman smiled again: "Mr. Sir, it seems that the era of pirates came to an end a hundred years ago. Why is the Federation still fighting pirates, I don't know if I heard it wrong, or if Mr. Chief is making a fool of himself. ”
John bluntly explained, "The Outlands also need protection, and the battles between the Federation Legion and the pirates take place mainly in the Outlands, and on the edge of the Outlands. And never tried to defeat, although there are still a handful of pirates in that area who are stubbornly resisting, but in my opinion, their demise is the trend of the times, as for the pirate gang you mentioned, the leader is called the Red Devils, the strength is indeed not to be underestimated, and it is rampant, the Empire is now negotiating with the Federation, and will soon launch a siege against them. ”
The mysterious woman sneered: "The useless federal army has turned out to be an invincible and invincible mighty army. Mr. Commander is really condescending to serve as a commander, so it is better to serve in the propaganda department, and maybe he will be able to show his strengths. As far as I know, the Federation has never had a large-scale battle with pirates, I wonder what Mr. Chief explains? ”
John scoffed, "That's because of the pirates' cowardice, and they fled before the Federation Legion arrived." ”
The woman chuckled: "The federal army is majestic, and the legion of thousands of mechs is at its disposal, Mr. Commander thinks that pirates are as stupid as you are, and can take the initiative to send them to the door?" Since the Federation has declared that it is to exterminate pirates, it should be its mission to exterminate pirates, but even pirates have not been seen, where does the undefeated record come from? Does Mr. Chief think that after the withdrawal of the Federation, the pirates have been good? ”
The war of words escalated unconsciously, and the mysterious woman's performance was very weird, not to mention the pampered aristocratic students, and it was impossible for civilians to speak from the position of pirates, such a nonsense method would offend not only the Federation, but also the empire, who would want to do such a stupid thing, even if they didn't want a future, they couldn't joke with the reputation of the family.
Judging from this, the mysterious woman could not be a student of the Imperial Academy, and Chen Fang was secretly glad that he had drawn a line with her in time and did not get into trouble.
The ridiculously self-righteous John was still kept in the dark, and he lectured decently: "You have repeatedly slandered the armies of the Empire and the Federation, and built momentum for pirates, could it be that you are not a student of the Imperial Academy?" Now that you know a lot of things, don't you hate pirates? ”
The mysterious woman smiled coquettishly: "I respect the facts, did I say that I am a student?" Mr. Sir is so clumsy, how to deal with the cunning extermination pirates? ”
"You're not a cadet of the Imperial Academy!" John's mind was in a hurry, such an outstanding beauty, even if she wore a mask, she should be the person of the year in the Imperial Academy, but since her appearance, no one knows her, which is enough to prove that something is wrong, but no one would have thought that someone would dare to come to the Imperial Academy to spread wild.
It is intolerable for outsiders to break into the Imperial Academy, not to mention the words and deeds of the mysterious woman, it is easy to remind people of the four words of ill-intention, and the school immediately took action, and the crowd immediately blocked the entrance, and it was even more difficult to move in the passage.
The mysterious woman did not panic at all, she rose up in the confusion, stepped on the student's head, and the two rose and fell to John's side, her figure was indescribably fast and weird, as if dragging a faint afterimage, and she didn't see what move she used, and she made an understatement to restrain John easily.
So fast! Amazing speed.
People who pursue speed are often reluctant to use complex tricks, and Chen Fang, who saw the doorway, quietly rose a trace of appreciation, and even had the idea of learning, of course, under the premise of driving a mecha, at this moment, he must carefully avoid the crowd, if he is squeezed into a fracture, it will be a big shame.
"Who the hell are you? Where did you come from? Why do you want to make trouble? The burly John was stuck around his neck, like a weak chicken, but his words were neither humble nor arrogant.
The mysterious woman sneered: "I was originally passing by, and when I heard your wild words, I came to see if the federal army was as brave as you said." Isn't the Federation going to rid the Red Devils? Sister awaits you in Cadolan. ”
"Are you ~ the Red Devil?" The congestion in his brain made John's eyes bloodshot, and the original scenery was gone.
"It's only now that I've thought it through, I'm too slow, let you go today, and the next time we meet, I hope you can be smarter." The Red Devil threw John away and waved his hand to drop a few bursting bombs, and a thick red mist instantly spread.
Although it was an ordinary smoke screen, thrown in an overcrowded venue, it was fatal, and it was common to trample people to death in the chaos, but the students were still well-trained, and they did not flee for their lives like a rabble, and Chen Zai was able to save the fragile bones.
Smuggled crystal oil from under the nose of the Red Devil twice, Chen Fang also felt very lucky, especially the second time, and smashed her two assault boats, she must have hated herself, so Chen Fang decided to accept it when she saw it, who knew that he actually met a wrongdoer in the Imperial Academy, is it the legendary retribution?
Ten minutes later, the smoke screen still showed no sign of subsiding, the school began to organize the students to leave, the imperial special forces were ordered to arrive, blocked the exit of the academy, and the disgraced students were investigated one by one.
Did it work? With the perverted skills of the Red Devils, it was easy to escape through the exhaust window. Chen Fang smiled bitterly and walked towards the gate of the academy depressedly, I don't know how many checks I have to go through?
When passing through the grass, Chen Fang was suddenly held against his waist by a soft object, the direction, and the strength were all just right, judging from experience, he had no doubt that this soft object could gently kill himself.
"Classmate in leather clothes, lying is not like the quality of a nobleman, how should my sister punish you?" The sweet and greasy words came from behind him, as if he was very distressed, and Chen Fang couldn't help but feel the coldness of his spine.
Any irregular actions may induce the killing of outlaws, Chen Fang didn't want to die in vain, he didn't even dare to move his head, and said: "I know that I am being used, but I still have to stick to my principles, that kind of person is called a fool." We don't know all our lives, why should we be used by you? Getting into trouble? ”
Although he was in the tiger's den, the red devil hiding in the dark did not see any panic, and said softly: "I can't see it, you are very frank, this answer sister is satisfied, and I will spare your life first, but it is very sad that you help others but not help your sister, otherwise, you send your sister out of the academy as atonement." ”
Chen Fang squeezed out a smile: "Even if you like to play, at least you can change people, the academy has been under martial law by the imperial special forces, and you are a small student below, what ability do you have to help you get out?" It's only going to be played to death by you. ”
Hearing this, the Red Devil giggled and hid in the grass, threatening without fear: "This is your problem, if the people of the Imperial Academy find out that we are staying together, you are the unlucky person, so you have to use your brains." ”
Chen Fang has always done his own thing, whose account have you bought? Not to mention being threatened, because he didn't want his identity to be exposed in the academy, he was extraordinarily low-key, and everything was being avoided, but the world was unpredictable, the more he wanted to hide, the more trouble came to the door, and he somehow drilled out a pirate sister, who was simply depressed to death.
However, Chen Fang really didn't want to publicize it, although he hid his identity, the matter was big, and his family history would inevitably be exposed, the Chen family must not have anything to do with pirates, no kind of relationship, and he didn't want to expose his identity.
Like to play, don't you? I'll play with you. Chen Fang didn't say much, changed direction, turned around and walked towards the depths of the academy, while the Red Devil followed behind unhurriedly with the help of plant cover.
In order to steal the Imperial Academy's courses, Chen Fang hacked into the academy's database several times, so he knew the secrets of the Imperial Academy.
In the eyes of outsiders, Imperial College is nothing special, it is nothing more than a higher education institution that cultivates outstanding talents, in essence, from the beginning of its establishment, Imperial College has done everything possible to recruit talents, and the purpose is not only for teaching, but also for scientific research and experiments.
The strength of the empire lies in the development of science and technology, and many fields are at the forefront of various countries, and the core of the empire's science and technology is hidden in the Imperial Academy.
Behind the teaching area, mountains have been hollowed out into shells, forming a criss-crossing network of thousands of laboratories and databases that refer to the underground network as rat dens.
The existence of the rat den is a core secret of the empire, and there are few people who know about it, and correspondingly, the number of guards is not large, but this does not mean that they are negligent in taking precautions. In fact, the rat den has a strong defense system.
With the data terminal as the identification system, don't try to fool around unless the identity data is archived in the main system.
The system will actively attack uninvited guests, and at the same time sound the alarm to block the escape route.
No matter how strong a master is, he doesn't dare to easily try a mechanism created by the highest technology, and since its establishment, the rat den has never been invaded.
It can also be seen from the performance of the Red Devil that the perverted protection composed of the data system is more deterrent than that of the special forces, and she has not been trapped so far, and she has not seen the slightest panic, which shows that she is not afraid of the imperial troops, but the 'crystal ball' used for identification discourages her.
"Scared?" Chen, who won back a game, made provocative remarks, and his contemptuous eyes seemed to say that a woman is a woman after all.
The Red Devil sneered contemptuously: "You think my sister is a fool? This is the identification system, I let it go, the machine will compare my five human characteristics with the database in the system, if I can't find my information, I will be judged as an intruder, this crystal ball can instantly release a terrifying voltage. ”
The crystal ball is not an uncommon device, and it can be found everywhere in major airports, but this little thing does make it difficult for wanted villains to move an inch, but the Red Devils still underestimate the power of the crystal ball.
"You're talking about the common identification system, this is an enhanced version that can recognize nine features of the human body, and there are thirty free-spinning ion emitters hidden at the bottom, which you can see when you bend down. If the system determines that you are an intruder, thirty beams will stick out from below, spinning like a meat grinder, and everything within ten meters will be cut into pieces, and even if you can get away with it, there will be hundreds of long-range fires hidden nearby. Sounds dangerous, doesn't it? This is the only way, otherwise, you will have to go to the special forces of the Empire, of course, until then, you had better let me go, I have done everything I can. Chen Fang knew very well that if the explanation was not satisfactory, the Red Devil, who was still in the elder sister's elder sister and the younger sister's short, could take his younger brother's life in an instant.
The Red Devil is not stupid, he immediately heard the meaning of the strings, lowered his body according to his words, and sure enough, he found the ion emitter on the pillar at the bottom of the crystal ball, no more, no less, exactly thirty, of course, this kind of thing is not used for decoration. The gap on the surface is similar to the pattern, indicating that it can indeed rotate, and as for the hidden long-range firepower, it is estimated that it is also real.
"You mean, if you fool me, the ion launcher won't tell who's an intruder and who's a student, we'll all be chopped into pieces, so you can't be stupid enough to design a sister with a crystal ball. But why do you think I can be identified? ”
Chen Fang pretended to be impatient and said, "I'm a student of the Imperial Academy, so I know how to bring friends in and out of the academy. The identification system determines my identity and can make a judgment on release, and the system's identification of you is to register the entry and exit personnel, do you think I am like a person who sacrificed himself to capture pirates for the Federation? ”
Reasonable explanations, quiet humor, and serious rhetorical questions not only alleviated the Red Devils' suspicions, but also made the beautiful woman laugh: "Obviously, a man like you who is wise enough to protect your life can not do any feat." I just wonder how you're willing to take this risk in order to help your sister get out? ”
Chen Fang knew that she was still skeptical, and said, "First of all, I don't think it's an adventure. Secondly, I'm helping myself, didn't you say? If someone finds out that we are together, they don't ask what the reason is, my family and I will be ruined, and my life is still in your hands, I have no choice. ”
A trace of contradiction rose from the bottom of the Red Devil's heart, and she would rather fight with the Imperial forces, although there was no chance of victory, the hope of getting out was not impossible, and it was not low. This crystal ball is a complete gamble, and if she loses the bet, she doesn't even have a chance to fight hard.
No matter how reasonable Chen Fang's explanation is, no matter how sincere she is, she is a pirate after all, and she is unwilling to trust others from the bottom of her heart.
Just as she was about to give up, the Red Devil suddenly saw a touch of contempt in the boy's eyes, which seemed to her to be defiant.
It is inconceivable that this weak boy fell into his own hands, and his life was in danger, but he inexplicably revealed a strong feeling.
"It's your turn, the system has decided that we are two people, and we won't let you go unless you are registered." Just when she was hesitating, Chen Fang took the lead in completing the identification and remained next to her.
The Red Devils finally realized that the fragile boy in front of him was challenging him in a special way.
The boy may know what is going to happen, but he doesn't make a choice, he ties his life to her, and she doesn't dare to gamble, and obviously loses.
Even if they weren't competitive, the Red Devils couldn't afford to lose to an Imperial College rookie.
Suddenly, the Red Devil placed his slender palm on the crystal ball, and at the same time aimed his pupils at the center of the sphere.
The transparent crystals are instantly radiant,
Palm prints, iris, a series of identification information was scanned in an instant, of course it was impossible for the red devil to pass the level, when the strong current was released, there was a crackling and crisp sound, the arm was firmly sucked, and she couldn't move, she could only watch helplessly as the ion gun at the bottom began to rotate, and the hidden barrel stretched out at this time, revealing a hideous face.
This boy is not lying, and whoever is judged to be an intruder will surely die, so he will die with himself?
People can always think of many things in the moment of life and death, and time seems to stand still, the Red Devil turned his head and saw Chen Fang's indifferent expression.
She tried to stretch out her remaining left hand, trying to make the person who deceived her pay the price, but under the impact of the electricity, the usual freewheeling movements became extremely difficult at the moment, and her consciousness did not have time to support her to complete the action, and the red light turned on, and the defense system cut off the current on its own after the intruder fainted.
Seeing that the beautiful hand almost touched his neck, and then hung down weakly, Chen Fang immediately raised his hand and put it on the crystal ball again.
The ion shooting gun immediately reversed and hid back again, including hundreds of long-range firepower in the shadows, although he couldn't see them, Chen Fang knew that they were synchronized with the action of the ion shooting gun.
The crystal ball guards the special passage of the rat cave staff, in fact, Chen Fang does not have access permission, but he is a data master, and he is full of curiosity about this mysterious place, when he invaded the academy database, he secretly created an identity for himself, which just came in handy this time.
The defense system of the rat den, although overbearing, cannot kill everyone within range because of an intruder, especially after the intruder has been subdued, and the key is to tell him that there is a staff present before the ion gun is fired.
The dangerous thing is that the Red Devil can still attack himself after being electrocuted, Chen put down not because he was afraid of her attack, but because he was worried that she would hold on for too long, the crystal ball not only released electricity, but also had a shock wave against the spirit, usually speaking, even a strong man would have fainted instantly, but she persevered.
If the Red Devil is not unconscious, the crystal ball will continue to discharge, and he will not be able to let go of it, stop the ion gun, and neither of them can escape the fate of being dismantled.
The crystal ball automatically alerted the guardhouse, and the guards were able to arrive soon, Chen Fang did not dare to delay, and laboriously dragged the Red Devil and disappeared into the night.
