Chapter 25: Wandering Souls
readx; In August, the day still can't get rid of the long and dull summer days. Because of the floating in mid-air, the www.biquge.info Liuli Academy received extremely strong sunlight. At its hottest, the students could only stay indoors, palpitating at the world that seemed to be evaporated as soon as they went out the window. They have been here for almost a month and are gradually getting used to life in this academy.
Mr. Bai did not break his promise, his classes were indeed very few, and they had hardly seen him in the academy since the first class. "Mechanical application" is still one of the students' favorite courses, and perhaps there is also the "medical care" course taught by Mr. Gu Yu, the male students are mainly impressed by the beauty of Mr. Gu Yu, while the female students can really learn useful rescue knowledge from it. Mrs. Green's class is still disliked by the students, who privately call Mrs. Green a "hypnotist". Mr. Nakamura was the oldest of the teachers, but he behaved like an old kid when he taught them "tactical application", and in the first class, he took the students to the square outside the academy to play football, and he also went into battle himself, showing the students his superb dribbling and shooting skills, which won the applause of the students.
Mr. Lan is the vice president of the college, and he can almost be regarded as a copy of Professor Zorro, the same uninhibited and serious. There is always only one expression on the face, and there is no joy or sorrow. The only difference is that his classes are not as interesting as those of Professor Zorro, in fact, he does not impart knowledge and skills to them, but trains them. Let them continue to do physical training, rock climbing, diving, crossing obstacles, etc., although these projects are not dangerous, but a lot of physical energy and enthusiasm of the students, over time, Mr. Lan's class has become as unpopular as "burning research".
Since the last conversation, Xia Yan has not received a call from Alice. Alice's call channel is a military channel, which means that non-military personnel cannot actively contact her. As a result, he has no way of knowing Alice's current situation, nor is it possible to make further progress on the Sleeper incident. Although the lurker did not show any traces again, Xia Yan felt that this matter had to be investigated after all.
Uncle Matthew and Tiandao have called him to greet him, and Xiaoyou and Molly also stood next to him when Tiandao called. Molly and Xiao Yu wore the same dark blue skirt and looked like a pair of sisters. Xiao You was full of curiosity about where Xia Yan was, and asked him questions one after another, and finally Tiandao had to hold the ring out of her reach in order to say a few words to him normally.
"What's been interesting lately?" Xia Yan smiled at Tiandao who was walking upstairs with his arms raised, and Xiao You stared at Tiandao's back dissatisfiedly behind him.
"There's nothing fun to do other than Luke getting a new tooth decay due to gluttony and a careless teacher who mistakenly pulled out a nearby tooth when he pulled it out for him." Tiandao squeezed his eyes at Molly and said.
"I've already spoken to Luke, how long are you going to laugh at me, Uncle Lew!" Molly yelled disgruntled at Celestial Dao behind him.
"But during this time, there seem to be a few guys on 14th Street who have never seen before," when he walked into the porch and faced Xia Yan alone, Tiandao suddenly said with a straight face, "I don't know what their intentions are now." ”
"I've been proposing to take the kids to Knights' Square, there are enough ......houses over there," Xia Yan said after a moment's hesitation, "14th Street is a mixed bag. ”
"We all grew up here, and the old man's hard work can't be left alone." Tiandao shrugged indifferently, "Don't worry, with me, no one can bully them." If one day I really can't get along here, I'll definitely go to you. ”
"You have to be careful yourself." Xia Yan nodded and said, "The name of the Yaksha is too ostentatious now......"
"Got it, why are you so verbose like an old man." Tiandao waved his hand at him and teased with a smile.
"Feel free to contact me if anything." Xia Yan sighed and said to him.
Xia Yan and Qianlan still haven't seen the shadow of the old students in the academy, although the rankings have been constantly changing, and Mori Yue Fengxin is the first to rank 85th, ranking first among the new students. Xia Yan followed with 87th place, and Qianlan's ranking also caught up, 103rd. Although Nishizawa had been emptied of his score once before, due to his continuous entry into the high-level battlefield, his score quickly returned to the top few positions, and he is now ranked 90th. What makes them strange is that although they have been moving up the rankings, they still can't see the information of the old students. When I checked the ranking of students, I was still ranked down from the 85th place of Moritsuki Fengxin.
"This academy is really weird." Nishizawa muttered as he stared at the list of ranked students, as they finished their lunch in the auditorium, and normally, this was the only time they would all get together except for class. "Not only is it too big to find the edge, but it is also secretive about the information of the old students, and we will have to compete with them sooner or later, is it necessary?"
"However, the number of new cadets hasn't changed since the Bard brothers left." "The total number of people is decreasing, which shows that ......"
"It's the old students who are leaving." Xia Yan took over and said.
"But if they want to leave, they should also go to the gate of the academy to catch an airship, right?" Fujita said puzzled, after the battle in the first class, he and Xia Yan had become familiar with each other, so he also joined their discussion. "But no one has seen them once, whether it is in the academy or in the square outside the academy."
"Maybe there are many more ways to get out of here, and you don't have to use an airship." Asashi said.
"Maybe they didn't leave the academy, but they sacrificed." Nishizawa joked, holding a glass of sour plum juice but not drinking it, "I haven't seen Uncle Dean for a while, he must have given lessons to the old students, maybe he will send them to the front line to fight......"
"He won't." Momo Morizuki said without thinking about it as she cut the toast in front of her.
"How do you know?" Nishizawa said in surprise.
"Uh...... I mean, he's the dean of the academy, and it's impossible to take the lives of the students as a child's play. Morizuki Momo took a bite of bread and said vaguely.
"Last time, he kept saying that as long as he could accomplish his task, he could do it by any means." Fujita said.
"Why do you care so much about the situation of the old students?" Perhaps afraid that if they continued to talk about it, their relationship with Mr. Bai would be exposed, Haitang opened the topic.
"Just curious." Xia Yan told her with a smile.
"Speaking of which, what's the class in the afternoon?" Nishizawa asked, fiddling with a broccoli with his fork.
"Burning Clan Research and Actual Combat Exercises." Asa-lan said as she looked at the class schedule.
"Huh?" Nishizawa put down his fork and leaned over to look at Asaarashi's class schedule with wide eyes, looking disappointed, "Today is really an unfortunate day, two of the most annoying classes are connected together. ”
"Aren't you an optimist?" Xia Yan quipped when he looked at him.
"It turns out that the optimists are also eaten by people." Nishizawa said sullenly as he stared at an apple pie on the plate.
"I think 'Burning Studies' is a very useful course." Asan said fairly.
"yes." Nishizawa muttered, "Especially for insomnia sufferers, it's a good medicine." ”
Perhaps perceiving the passivity of the students in her own class, Mrs. Green tried to change the style of the class several times. Including putting aside her arrogant mentality, talking to them calmly, bringing some artificial models of the Burning Clan to show them, etc., but because her class created a boring impression for the students at the beginning, no matter how hard she tried, this course was still some ineffective information on paper in the eyes of most students, so it has been ineffective.
"In the last lesson, we learned about the 'characteristics of the Wandering Soul', now let's review it." Mrs. Green posed a golden palm-sized medallion on the podium, and a blue light rose from the medallion, and an image of a wandering soul that had been magnified several times appeared in the light. "At present, it is only known that the Soul Flow is a state and its unstable energy factor, which can only exist in the air for a few seconds." Mrs. Green said in a rambling voice, and Nishizawa dozed off with his chin on his hand, pretending to look down at the dynamic information on the table. "Because the elite Burning Clan is stronger, the energy contained in its flowing soul is also greater, and the survival time is longer. There is evidence that the Elite Burning Clan's Wandering Soul can also infect and assimilate some animals with low IQs. However, these assimilated animals generally die spontaneously because they cannot withstand this force. Due to the instability of the Flowing Soul, it has not yet been able to collect samples for further study, and the authorities believe it," she said, glancing at the silent student with her unassuming chin, "The study of the Soul Wandering will be an important breakthrough in opening up the source of the Burning Clan." ”
"Madam, you just mentioned the Soul Wandering characteristics of the Elite Burning Clan and the Junior Burning Clan," Moritsuki Kazeshin sat in the front row, sat up slightly straight, and asked, "What about the commander?" ”
"Good question, Tiandao-san." Mrs. Green smiled lovingly at him and said, this kind of smile rarely appeared in front of other students even after she changed her attitude, "The commander is the most difficult to figure out and has the least research data in the Burning Clan at present, of course, after killing the commander, they will also produce flowing souls, and the more energy they contain. ”
"Does that mean that the more they are able to infect and assimilate other creatures?" Moritsuki Kazenobu asked, "Like a human ......"
"Yes, judging from the video data transmitted from the front line, their wandering souls can indeed infect humans." Mrs. Green looked at him in slight surprise and said, and more students were also attracted by the question and looked at them one after another. "Well, since you want to know, I might as well let you look at the information." Mrs. Green said as if she couldn't make up her mind, and she fiddled with the medal with her stubby fingers, and a rickety image appeared. "This is a video taken from the front line last month," she said, pointing to the video, in which a blonde man in a black uniform slashed a blurry mass like black ink, and a red point of light burst out, it was not like the flow of souls produced by ordinary elite or junior burners, floating aimlessly into the sky, but like a bullet, instantly catapulting towards the blonde man's face. The blonde man seemed to have been prepared, narrowly avoided the point of light, turned his head and yelled at the other side, "It's coming, be careful!" ”
However, it was too late, and a violent scream was already heard from the other end. "Damn! Why is the mechanical unit so close to us, which bastard leads the team? The blonde man spat and roared. The camera pans to the point where the screams come from, where a robot stops, a large hole in the cab in its chest, and the driver inside is staring at the driver with wide eyes and a long mouth, and many red lights as sharp as the tip of a knife emerge from his seven orifices. His expression was extremely painful, but he could no longer utter a word.
"Tom, destroy it!" The blonde man's voice rang out again, a little hurriedly. "Don't wait for it to take full possession of that body!"
"Peng!" There was a huge gunshot, and several female students in the classroom couldn't help but scream, only to see the mecha soldier infected by the flow soul raised his hands, as if he was about to jump out of the screen to pinch them, and in the next second, he turned into a dazzling blue light.
Mrs. Green turned off the medal at this point, and the cadets let out a wave of disappointed boos. Nishizawa also woke up and looked at the podium with interest, his face also disappointed at the moment.
"I think it's enough to see this, you know that this is top secret information, and it shouldn't be revealed to you." Lady Green frowned and said, "As you can see, the Commander's Wandering Spirit is even more terrifying, not only can it infect humans, but it also seems to possess a certain amount of intelligence, and I believe that if left unchecked, it will most likely be resurrected by taking over human bodies." ”
The trainees looked at each other, and some seemed worried. Xia Yan stared at Mrs. Green and her medallion, as if thinking about something. Asa-arashi continued to take notes.
"Isn't that the commander unstoppable?" Karina, who was also sitting in the front row, asked.
"Of course not," said Mrs. Green, shaking her head, "after the Commander transforms into a Flowing Soul, as long as it is destroyed a second time, it will no longer exist. It's worth mentioning that we once tried to collect its Soul and found it almost impossible. There are only two options when faced with this kind of flowing soul, either destroy it or be assimilated by it. ”
