Chapter 43: Fate is Wonderful (I)
When Lu Yi came to the headquarters of the School Management Committee, it was already afternoon, and he saw a huge building appear on the horizon from a distance.
The headquarters of the school management committee is not a building like the office of the president, nor is it a complex of buildings, but a castle more than 30 meters high and made of stone bricks.
Lu Yi stood under the city wall, looking very small, looking at the towering castle, made a rough assessment of it, its area is at least more than 30,000 square meters, there is no moat and suspension bridge design like a medieval castle, but standing under the wall and looking up at the city wall, Lu Yi can clearly see the rows of daunting cannon holes on the wall buttress, and through the cannon holes, you can vaguely see the cannon barrel hidden behind the wall, flashing cold light.
At this time, the sun is setting behind the castle, and under the golden afterglow, the whole castle looks as if it has the protection of the gods, and the grandeur is breathtaking.
This was the first time Lu Yi had seen the sun in the monster world, and he couldn't find where the sunlight came from during the day, but he didn't expect that when night came, the sun would peel off its veil and appear in front of his eyes.
There was a loud thud of metal, and the massive castle opened his thick iron door.
"Report Team Leader. Zong Xi said to Lu Yi, his tone was still so blunt: "After you go in, someone will lead you to see the chairman, and I will report to Minister Burian now." ”
"Isn't this the headquarters? Brian isn't here?" said Lu Yiqi.
"Report to the team leader, only the chairman and his immediate internal staff are allowed to enter the headquarters, and all other personnel, except for the ministers of the departments, are not allowed to enter without being summoned. After Zong Xi finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Lu Yi, turned around and walked in the direction of Area B.
At this time, a few people wearing the uniforms of the school management committee walked out of the castle, and they stood at the gate of the city waiting for Lu Yi, standing like the best soldiers, with straight and meticulous benchmarks.
Lu Yi walked towards the city gate with complicated feelings, and sure enough, the more he understood the school management committee, the more he could understand the horror of this organization, and he still thought that no matter how powerful a student organization was, it was just a community of interests composed of people from various families, and the people in the school management committee must also be representatives of the interests of various families.
But Lu Yi now understands that his previous thoughts were very wrong, he has vaguely felt this way since he failed to buy Zong Xi, and now what he sees in front of him confirms his thoughts, what kind of interest community is this, this is clearly a student-based, set administrative management, law and order maintenance, judicial trial, finance and taxation in one of the paramilitary groups.
The chairman is the top leader, and a deputy chairman, three ministers, and a director make up the decision-making level of six people, and each department has its own role, and each department has its own team, which is the executive level of the school management committee.
Zong Xi is the deputy leader of the group, but he is actually a veritable team leader, and he can be regarded as the third power level in the school management committee, and he doesn't even have the right to enter this castle, how tight is the organization of this school management committee?
Lu Yi thought about it, and followed the people who came to greet him into the castle, the interior of this castle is not as luxuriously decorated as the teaching area, but it looks very simple, and some walls even have moss, but it seems that due to artificial cleaning reasons, these mosses spread to a certain height and no longer go up, Lu Yi looked at these mosses, thinking that the castle is indeed a certain age.
......
......
"It's called Sunset City, The Setting Sun Castal, or more appropriately translated as Sunset. Bai Qing stood in front of the window, the window in his office was facing the direction of the setting sun, and the whole sun was in this window, like a painting: "The origin of the name of the Remnant Sun Castle is because the sunset always sets from here, and it is also the last place in the entire academy where the sunset can be seen." ”
"This was actually the first and only building of the Silver Cross Academy. The process of establishing the academy was not as smooth sailing as I said yesterday, and after teaching the second batch of students, many families understood what the principal wanted to do, and then there was action against the academy. Bai Qing stared directly at the slanting sun, the sunlight at this time was very mild, and it did not make people's eyes burn, he continued: "Fortunately, the headmaster had expected to build this castle as solid as gold, so that those young people did not have a chance to take advantage of it. ”
Lu Yi stood behind Bai Qing, looking at the person in front of him who was the most powerful person in the Silver Cross Academy except for the principal, and quietly listened to him tell the previous story.
"The real way out of the predicament of the academy is that after the two students of the headmaster became the patriarch, the earl and the old wolf king had not turned their faces at that time, and the two of them set their coronation ceremony here for the first time, the two very influential family patriarchs in the monster world, after the coronation ceremony was completed, the two knelt in front of all the family members and foreign clans, and this kneeling was a sign that the college had entered the golden age. ”
"The facts also proved that the Earl and the old wolf king were undoubtedly quite smart, at that time, Drake and Dracula were actually not the two biggest forces in the monster world, but after the two of them bowed their knees to the headmaster, the whole world knew that they were the students of the headmaster, and the students who went out of this school would call them seniors, and then join their camp as a matter of course, so the two families became bigger and bigger, and became what they are today. ”
"What two good students. Bai Qing's tone was tinged with a hint of ridicule at his two old seniors: "Sure enough, when the wings were stiff, they began to be disobedient, and in the end they fought because of the uneven distribution of interests." ”
"After the two of them fought, the principal moved out of this remnant sun castle and arrived in his current small building, which was left idle for a period of time and became the headquarters of the current school management committee. ”
Bai Qing faced the sunset, and the corners of his mouth curved up and asked, "What do you think of this story?"
Lu Yi couldn't see Bai Qing's face, and naturally he couldn't see the smile on his face at this time, and said honestly: "Seriously, it's bloody." ”
"yes, it's bloody. Bai Qing wiped the smile from the corner of his lips, turned to look at the handsome young man standing behind him, and said, "To be honest, I don't understand why the principal chose you. ”
Lu Yi thought to himself, it seems that Bai Qing still doesn't know that the uncle in his family has some friendship with the principal, so he said abruptly: "Then who do you think it will be?"
"That Donald, is the best candidate. Bai Qing said what he thought lightly.
Lu Yi retorted: "That guy is very hostile to monsters, you don't know it, right?"
"This is not a reason, Donald is not such a superficial person, and he will not be unaware of the importance of personal likes and dislikes in the face of such great interests. Bai Qing stood with his hands in his hands, his long silver hair reflected the light of the setting sun, and he looked very arrogant: "That Zhang Jianfei, who dares to act and can endure humiliation and burden, is a character, and in my opinion he is much stronger than you; ”
"But the headmaster chose me. Lu Yi took Bai Qing's words and said with self-deprecation: "I'm not too bad." ”
"I'll admit that you still have your own skills, and the Headmaster won't find a waste to represent the human race, and even if you do, those humans won't agree. Bai Qing walked to the desk and sat down, glanced at Lu Yi with sharp eyes, and said: "Your performance when you were chased and killed by Zhang Jianfei in the Heavenly Palace was really eye-catching, in that urgent environment, you can use the Yuan Shi Fu to control eight Ming Sword Spells at the same time, and you can also pierce the necks of five people with great accuracy, if it weren't for Lin Xiaotong's son who would have died a long time ago, I would really regard you as Lin Xia's brother." ”
Lu Yi listened to Bai Qing's words, his expression did not change at all, but the slight trembling of his fingers had already exposed his mental activity.
"Don't be so surprised, I already knew your details before you humans came. Of course, Bai Qing could see these details, and said slowly: "It's a pity that Lin Xiaotong's son died, he was able to capture A-level monsters alive at the age of seventeen, I really want to see how far he can grow." ”
Lu Yi This is the first time to know about Lin Xia's dead brother, at the age of seventeen, he captured A-level alive? What kind of talent is this to reach this level, on the other hand, he has to be opportunistic to deal with a B-level, and he was beaten to the point that he almost lost his life, and the gap between the two is indeed not small.
"Then you have also investigated me?" Lu Yi asked, if he had investigated himself, would Bai Qing have already known the identity of his Lu butcher?
Bai Qingru's eyes showed a hint of doubt as a sword unsheathed, and said, "I have set the list of personnel this time, of course I know who will come here." ”
"Then you also know my background?" Lu Yi thought to himself, if Bai Qing knew and put himself into the list of fifty people, how could he find out the small villa where he and his uncle lived with the investigation ability of the school management committee, according to this line, Bai Qing should know that the uncle and the principal knew each other.
"I don't know. Bai Qing tilted his head, changed his sitting position, and said after a moment of silence: "Because the principal only gave me forty-eight places from the beginning, you and Lin Xia were personally set by the principal. ”
"So you don't know who it will be, so you set up an ambush on the first day, and want to try my relationship with Lin Xia?" Bai Qing's answer explained everything perfectly, and also made Lu Yi recall the ambush on the side of the trail, feeling very dramatic, he now actually joined the organization that ambushed him at the beginning, and also entered the headquarters, and recalled the past with the chairman of this organization.
"I investigated you, you came with Lin Xia, then you should live in Fenghu County. Bai Qing didn't answer Lu Yi's question, but began to state his judgment: "The group of Taoist priests in Fenghu County has no characters who can handle it except for Lin Xiaotong and his two daughters, so you are not Lin Xiaotong's person."
"There aren't too many famous characters in a remote place like Fenghu County, but this place reminds me of a story that is widely spread in the yokai world, I don't know if you've heard of it.
"The story of the Lu butcher, although it is a story, but I sent someone to investigate, the number of monsters in Fenghu County has been decreasing since about ten years ago, and it has only rebounded in recent years, so that story should be true.
"Since it's true, but I haven't found any trace of the so-called Lu Butcher for nearly three years, then he should have put down the butcher's knife.
"Coincidentally, you are also surnamed Lu. Bai Qing stared at Lu Yi, wanting to see every movement and change in his expression, and said, "You are the son of Lu Butcher." ”
