"I didn't expect that the consecutive champion who made gold in the Gaia Gladiatorial Arena would call others monsters?" This person could be the opponent in the final test - Phoebe has a cold sweat on her face.

"Don't say that...... Lei Wei straightened up, left the wall he was leaning on, and walked towards the middle of the conference room, "Underground fighting is my profession. While others may seem violent, bloody, and full of all sorts of dirty deals...... But that's life, isn't it? Sometimes you don't have a choice. ”

When Lei Wei walked to Aaron's side, the latter stepped aside with a little fear, and answered: "If you can really be winged, won't you be able to return to that underground arena dedicated to original people?" ”

"Yes, so what?" Lei Yan found a chair next to Phoebe and sat down, "I don't have to fight to support myself...... There's just no better option right now. Becoming a Daybreaker is a good road. After my social status improved, I could also work in a better place, instead of being stuck in an underground arena full of sweat and blood, and being used as a bargaining chip by others every day. ”

Wang Gong has seen Lei Yan's boxing match. On that occasion, he and his comrades happened to watch the Gaia Gladiatorial Arena's top 10 "knockouts" of the year, six of which were won by the hedgehog head — and four of those opponents were killed instantly by his punches. After winning, Lei Yan's relieved expression was like a college student who threw a three-pointer at the whistle in a basketball game, without the slightest reverence for life.

This kind of person is dangerous. But...... Wang Gong turned his gaze from the underground boxing champion to the silent shadow owl in the back row - the person who was called a monster by Lei Yan looked unexpectedly normal?

The sound of military boots sounded in the hallway.

From far and near, a figure in a red military uniform with snow-white wings appeared at the door.

Cal. Orlando's immediate attendant, Naoto Ito, walked into the conference room, looked around at everyone present, and said, "Everyone is here." All sit in the first row. ”

The five primordials obeyed the order and each found a place to sit down.

Ito also took advantage of this time to walk to the back of the podium and stand up, and then said, "The 2039 class of Tsubasa humanization index test, the final assessment starts now. First of all, let me explain the form of this assessment. He activated the video headset hanging from his ear, and a small film unfolded in front of his eyes. At the same time, the projection behind him also showed the ID photos of the five test takers.

"The final assessment adopts a collaborative mode, which requires the five of you to cooperate with each other to complete an extremely difficult task." Speaking of this, he paused, his gaze swept over everyone's faces, "Before announcing the mission, you guys will come up one by one and introduce yourself." Get to know each other. ”

After that, the expressions of the five people below were slightly surprised, and then they each developed in different directions.

Shadowowl and Aaron quickly revert to their expressionless poker faces.

Wang Gong held his cheeks and looked out the window, as if he was organizing the language in advance.

Lei Wei grinned, quite helpless - a celebrity like him is really a bit redundant to introduce himself.

Phoebe breathed a sigh of relief, then became excited, looking eager to try.

Afterwards, one by one, they were called to the front of the stage.

"Phoebe, 21 years old, served in the Fourth Regiment of the Imperial Army with the rank of corporal. I was a slave when I was a child, so I didn't have a surname. The name was given by the owner. I just redeemed myself last year and still owe millions in debt...... The reason for the hope is that after leaving the army, he can find a more lucrative job and pay off his debts as soon as possible. Thank you! ”

"Wang Gong, 26 years old, sergeant of the Third Regiment of the Imperial Army, does not want to be discharged from the army at this time. The commander said that after the wings were humanized, they could be transferred to the First Legion to continue their service. That's it. ”

"Aaron. Carol, 20, is a sophomore in college. I want to transfer to the Second Military Academy of the Empire, but it only admits Wing Man students, so I want to become a Wing Man. ”

"Lei Yan, 22 years old. Well...... You all seem to know me. ”

"Shadow Owl, 19 years old. Broken codes. ”

"Huh? Only 19 years old!? Phoebe stared incredulously at the figure who walked down from the podium, and muttered quietly, "Why did you just say that, and talk more about yourself......

"That's it for introducing yourself." Naoto Ito, who was in charge of the scene, pressed the button on the video headset, and the picture of the five people on the screen disappeared, "The following is a detailed description of this mission. ”

As he continued to press the control buttons, a new picture appeared on the screen - a male wingman in a light-colored suit. This person has good facial features, a moderate figure, not fat or thin, and a warm smile on his face. Looking at the detailed description written next to the photo, Naoto Ito said: "This person's name is He Yingjie, 27 years old, a substitute teacher at Mendel University. He disappeared on April 16, and his family called the police, and his whereabouts are still unknown. According to the police investigation, the last place he visited before his disappearance was a cemetery called 'Comfort Hill'. In the evening of the same day, after He Yingjie left the cemetery, he disappeared on the way home. What the cameras along the road eventually caught him walking out of range at a corner two blocks from his home and then disappearing. ”

"Isn't that the day before yesterday on April 16th? So our mission is to save people? Phoebe asked curiously.

"It is the responsibility of the police to save people." Aaron pushed his glasses, "...... So far, there is no reason why MIA should intervene. ”

Ito completely ignored the conversation between the two and continued: "The police restored the route of action on the day of He Yingjie's disappearance, and it is worth noting that there is one point. Before heading to the cemetery in the afternoon, he went to Mendel University's medical department, an independent campus in a remote area of Lingxiao's Dongcheng district. He was there for only a short time, then he walked out of the medical department gate, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the cemetery. According to the taxi driver's description, during the process of going to the cemetery, He Yingjie behaved very depressed, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was desperate. ”

"If so...... Is there a significant person who passed away in the hospital? Aaron thought for a moment and continued, "I didn't see the last one, so I had to take a ride to the cemetery to say goodbye?" ”

"Ahh ”

"The police findings are broadly consistent with Aaron's inferences." The message on the screen flipped another page, revealing a photograph of a female winged man. Ito continued, "After inquiry, it was discovered that this is the person who knew He Yingjie and was sent to a cemetery for burial after his death at the Mendel University School of Medicine on April 16. Her name is Evelyn. White, too, is the Dawnbreaker. Before she died, Ho Yingjie visited the hospital almost every week. Although the two did not announce their relationship to the public, the people around them agreed that they could be very good friends even if they were not a couple. ”

"So is it possible...... What about martyrdom? Phoebe stared blankly at the picture of the winged man, "The target disappeared because he committed suicide by jumping into the river...... or something"

Wang Gong glanced at her disdainfully: "You should be acting in an idol drama?" ”

Ito continued to flip through the screen, and the information was displayed on the last page. At the end of the screen is a top-down map of Mendel University, a school emblem, a photo of the main building, and other information, and in the lower right corner is engraved two words in the form of a seal - survey.

"Whether it's rescuing people or finding bodies, it's not part of the work of MIA." Ito's gaze swept over the five people sitting in the audience, "The task given to you this time is only these two words - investigation. Based on the information we have, it is inferred that He Yingjie probably discovered something unspeakable before his disappearance, and it should have been an illegal incident closely related to the interests of Mendel University that led to his disappearance. ”

Hearing this, Aaron suddenly remembered something and asked, "So you know this teacher named He Yingjie, right?" Otherwise, a substitute teacher with no name, more than 90% of the students in the university he works for are natives, and the medical department under the university is only a third-rate hospital in the empire's rating system, how can it attract the attention of you MI elites? ”

"Huh...... The feeling is really sharp. Ito glanced at him and closed the monitor casually, as if he wasn't ready to explain.

Aaron pushed his glasses, and the reflection of the lens flashed, and he asked with some reluctance, "Don't you think you should give us more information before we sneak into this university in the face of unforeseen dangers?" ”

Ito indifferently met his defiant gaze, "Sneak in? Well...... For the four of them, it can be regarded as an infiltration. But for you – Aaron. Carroll, what are you not familiar with at Mendel? What else do you need? ”

"Huh? What the? What do you mean? Phoebe looked at Aaron suspiciously.

The latter spread his hands, and did not intend to hide it: "He is referring to the fact that the school I am studying at now is this Mendelian University. I'm a life sciences student and I'm a sophomore, so I don't know much about this school. ”

Hearing this, the other three primordials also cast concerned glances at Aaron.

"However, my knowledge of Mr. He Yingjie is limited to the limited information that he is a substitute teacher for the course 'Introduction to Life Studies of the Winged People'. Moreover, this course is an elective course that will only be offered in the first semester of the third year. As I said earlier, I'm a sophomore now, so my understanding of this teacher is equal to zero. So...... Doesn't it make sense to start with you? Speaking of this, Aaron paused, raised his head slightly, and his sharp gaze behind the lenses fell directly on Naoto Ito, "Second Lieutenant Ito, did you already know something about this teacher He Yingjie before he disappeared?" Of course, you can also select 'No comment', and then I can treat this reply as if the relationship between Mr. Ho and MI is classified information. Then the difficulty of this investigation task can be imagined...... The faint-hearted may still have the opportunity to abstain. ”

Naoto Ito listened carefully to every word he said, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Okay, it doesn't matter if I tell you." ”

"Huh?" Aaron looked surprised.

Before he could react anything, the second lieutenant quickly continued, "He Yingjie is my friend. Although the relationship between us is not very good, we have known each other for a long time and have each other's contact information. Before he disappeared, the last phone call was to me. ”

"Hah! So you're pretending to be a public servant, and you want to use the resources of the Military Intelligence Service to find out your friend's whereabouts, right? Lei Yan, who had not spoken, suddenly asked.

"Not really." Ito shook his head, "I just said that my relationship with him can only be regarded as an ordinary friend. If you want to find out his whereabouts, his family should be more concerned than me. As for the assignment to you, it can be said that a large part of the motivation stemmed from the last phone call he made to me before he disappeared. But the contents of the phone call are classified and you have no right to know at this time. Speaking of which, he looked at Aaron with ulterior motives, "How is it?" Do the faint of heart choose to abstain? ”

Aaron was stunned, thought for a moment and was about to answer, but Wang Gong, who was on the far right, said first: "In short, the main object of the investigation is the life science department of this university, the medical department under its jurisdiction, and everyone related to this teacher He Yingjie, right?" The purpose is to dig up the illegal activities hidden in this school? ”

"Yes." Ito nodded.

"Do we have law enforcement authority during the investigation?" Wang Gong continued to ask.

"Nope."

"What about search authority?"

"Nope."

"Case Handling ......"

"It's all said that it's to infiltrate the investigation......" Phoebe on the side propped her elbows on the table, supported her cheeks, and glanced at her comrades who were also from the Army Corps, "The meaning of infiltrating is to let us find a way to infiltrate the school by ourselves." Once something happens, it's all about yourself, and it has nothing to do with the MIA. ”

"Correct."

"Huh? Mixed in on your own? Wang Gong sighed, "Didn't the Military Intelligence Department insert it?" For example, get a swap teacher status or something......"

"Wouldn't that be the MI exposed?"

"Exposed? How easy is it to expose...... They're supposed to be professional in underground activities, aren't they? ”

"Ahem-" Aaron cleared his throat and interrupted the conversation between the two soldiers, "Phoebe, Wang Gong, maybe you two don't know much about the hidden rules within this university...... Mendel University is a school where the interests of the original people are paramount, and in terms of recruiting teachers and students, it gives priority to the admission of the original people, rather than the wing people. In the same way, they will not accept students or teachers introduced or installed by the elite of the wingers, so the military intelligence department is completely unable to interfere in the arrangement. This phenomenon can be traced back to the fact that the empire has harmed the original class - people under the age of 20 can be legally bought and sold, there is no way to ascend, there are restrictions on entry and exit, employment discrimination, wage discrimination, and so on...... These actions have led to a growing class divide – the Wing People look down on the Primitives, but the Primordials are becoming more and more united within themselves. Even in the area where the original population of Lingxiao City is concentrated, there are private universities like Mendel University founded against common sense. The motto of our school is: respect for teachers, self-improvement. Among the students studying in our school, even the proportion of Daybreakers is less than 10%, and they are basically the last Wingers who are worse than the other Daybreakers, and are closer to the low-level primitives. As for the teachers...... The ratio of the original to the winged man is also 9:1. Although Second Lieutenant Ito has just said that Mr. He Yingjie is a friend of the second lieutenant, with all due respect...... Mr. He's social status is very different from that of Second Lieutenant Ito. The latter is a social elite, and the former is probably a crane tail man who can't even get into a serious wingman work unit, and can only beg for food in this kind of original university. That's why Second Lieutenant Ito said that he and Mr. He Yingjie were just very ordinary friends. ”
