Chapter 5: The Order of the Eternal Night

At about half past six the next day, Hao Song, who was full of resentment, was lying on his bed twisted, his whole person almost twisted into a swastika, and his eyes were closed. At this time, a strange and noisy music suddenly came from the small radio, the sound was so loud and annoying that it was unbearable to listen to it for 5 seconds. In fact, in the 3rd second, you can find that Hao Song originally let go of the flat hand and grabbed the sheet with a fist, and in the 5th second, he was completely crazy, and his voice changed from moaning to roaring in one sentence: "Can anyone explain to me why the military training wake-up whistle is actually the theme song of 'happytreefriends'? Answering the phone and getting up much faster, don't ask me how I know)

Perhaps to make sure Hao Song had woken up, the music stopped at the 10th second, and it was still the serious and mechanical monotone baritone in the early hours of the morning who came out: "Grexiu S. Hao, please finish washing up within 10 minutes, the toiletries are ready in the bathroom." Instructor Su is waiting for you in the lobby on the first floor. ”

Hao Song grabbed his hair and muttered: "Instructor Su's title doesn't seem to be good, if it's really that little girl, is it enough for her to sleep for only 3 hours?" I thought I could sleep lazily today and go straight to noon" Glancing at the monitor again, he said in his heart that this broadcaster and monitor must be a lewd uncle, even a young man like me. After picking up the key to the bedside, he got up and walked to the door, and glanced at the other 3 beds on the way and found 3 names: Yao Dabang, Li Gang, and Zhao Xixiang.

Suddenly, I was in a good mood, and I said that the name Hao Song was actually good for my parents! These three unlucky children are estimated to be able to meet today, and I am really looking forward to the scene of giving them nicknames!

opened the door crookedly, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Su Rui, who was wearing an army green undershirt with a yellow green camouflage uniform, a dark green knee-length skirt, and brown legging military boots, and a height of 170cm, was looking at him with a smile. At this time, Su Rui smashed his bag over, and said at the same time: "Look stupid, Grecelle, you are going to call me an instructor from today on~"

Hao Song, who was smashed in the face by his own bag, finally sobered up, and said in his heart: It turns out that this girl looks better if she doesn't dress up as a biker!

There are beautiful women waiting, Hao Song seems to be moving a lot faster than usual, even the dead fish eyes are opened, and after 13 minutes, Hao Song finished washing and changed clothes. A chicken nest is a lot neater, under the gray windbreaker is a sleeveless wool sweater, a black and white checkered shirt, and under a pair of dark jeans is a pair of brown casual shoes, which is actually a lot more energetic.

Su Rui looked at him for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you usually wear such good clothes?" After saying that, he used his coral-colored little mouth to snuggle the bloated cotton clothes he had changed, the white-washed sweater, and the pair of jeans with toothpaste foam.

Hao Song snorted and said perfunctorily: "This set is just dry, I will also bring such a set" In fact, if it wasn't for Su Rui's urging to leave yesterday, he would have changed it a long time ago, although this product is usually unkempt, but after seeing Su Rui yesterday, he rarely cared about his dress.

Although Su Rui has a lot of information about his life, most of it focuses on the description of Hao Song's planning ability, and does not involve his clothing habits. So although Su Rui heard the perfunctory meaning, she didn't think too much about it. So he took it away and walked out, saying, "Go to breakfast first, and then report for duty." Hao Song looked at the girl's long ponytail as she walked, and felt that her heart was shaking

At this time, in the Marshall Islands in the South Pacific, there is a marginal island that does not exist on all maps of the world. The island is huge, about half the size of a city. The island is surrounded by artificial reefs, only a narrow waterway is navigable to the south, and the whole island is free of tall trees and the grass is very sparse. A crater or dormant volcano in the middle of the island is covered with fog all year round, because geothermal heat evaporates the water here into a cloud, which is then blocked by the crater wall. On the southern side of the crater, there is an imposing fortress-type structure that completely occupies the southern side of the huge crater with a diameter of nearly 20 kilometers. The fortress is perched on a hill overlooking the entire crater. On the huge shuttle-shaped square of the fortress is a flag depicting a medieval European oil lamp, which seems to glow faintly against a black background.

An old man with gray hair but a ruddy complexion, standing by the window of a tower on the edge of the shuttle square, gazed at the flag outside the window with a peaceful gaze, and stared at it for so long that he seemed to be thinking about something, or did he feel that the flag needed to be brightened up?

After an unknown amount of time, a slow footstep came from the circular staircase of the tower, and soon the footsteps stopped in front of the door of the room, and then there was a soft knock on the door.

The old man lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked around the room, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then said in a calm voice: "Please come in." ”

The door opened, and what walked in was a middle-aged man with blonde hair and black eyes, nearly 190cm tall, with a hooked nose and yellow skin showing an obvious mixed-race appearance, which made people feel very attractive, and could vaguely see his heroic appearance when he was young.

The man came in and closed the door, looked around the room, and frowned. The layout of this room is very simple, there is no piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum is missing, only a table, a cabinet, a sofa, nothing that symbolizes the owner's taste, it looks outrageous.

After reconfirming that the room really did not have any personal features, only office tools, he sighed helplessly and asked, "Headmaster, do you know that I am coming to you?"

"Of course, Professor Gu Ingot. The old man replied with a smile in his eyes.

"Well, you've hidden all your treasures, but it's too much to not even have a pot of tea or a hookah? The corners of Professor Gu Ting's eyebrows jumped.

"Oh, Chrysanthemum Boy, that sentence wasn't what I said, it's useless for you to trouble me? The old man finally laughed heartily.

"If you don't record it and post it on the campus intranet, no one will know, okay? I guess you'll hide your stuff after you post it, right? Also, don't call me by my nickname!" Gu Ingot's face was annoyed, and after a pause, he said, "Why is Hao Qiang's humble son completely different from his own personality?

"You can do a research on this topic, and I'll give you more money. Principal Wang smiled, "That's right, speaking of bearing, isn't it time to change your character that can't be joked, always come to sabotage, make a joke about you and blow up your chrysanthemum, no wonder the students call you Professor Chrysanthemum, and also specially designed the effect for the expansion pack of the board game Three Kingdoms." ”

"Hey, don't mention it, I think I'm going to be spoiled by you guys," Professor Chrysanthemum looked around the room again before continuing, "I have more important things to ask you"

At this time, Principal Wang, who had been smiling, also turned pale and interrupted him: "The old man knows what you want to ask and knows that this matter can't be delayed." He paused, looked at Professor Gu Ting, who was already with the same serious face and ice-like expression, and said slowly, "Loved"

"What?" Professor Gu Ding's mouth could barely stuff a turkey at this time, "Old slippery, you still dare to change the topic with me?"

A ping-pong crack came from the tower, accompanied by the angry scolding of the ancient ingots and the laughter of the headmaster

Five minutes later, the headmaster, who was out of breath, was visibly tired and asked, "Is that enough?" I just think it's too depressing to talk about such an important topic with such a serious look. ”

And Professor Gu Ding obviously only gasped slightly, and said angrily: "It's not enough, at least I have to beat your principal's office until it is renovated to vent the hatred in my heart!"

You may think that the middle-aged Professor Gu Ingot has the upper hand in the fierce battle with the old headmaster, well, this is true when only force is used. However, the current situation is that although the headmaster is too tired, he has put the ancient ingot down and sat on his waist, and his arms are clamped and his legs are cut back, so that he cannot exert his strength. Although Professor Gu Ingot was restrained, he still shouted to fight again: "There is a kind of idealist thought, we will fight again!"

The headmaster gasped and said, "As a professor of the Idealistic School, I insist on using the fighting methods of the Materialist School, and the old man is also drunk, and where are you going to fight with me? Although I am silicon level and you are the peak of carbon level, the age is still here~ Don't quickly subdue you with idealistic thoughts, the old man is really afraid that he won't be able to hold it physically."

Gu Ingot had nothing to say, so he could only say fiercely: "Old slippery head, if you don't want to accumulate energy for elemental transformation, you can directly return to the peak of your body when you were young with the 'unity of knowledge and action', and now the atmosphere has been ruined by you, hurry up and get down to business!"

The Headmaster nodded, but he didn't let go of the ancient ingot, but continued to talk in such a strange posture: "Now the development level of civilization is indeed close to the planetary level, with the release and development of a large amount of energy, the ancestors who are sleeping in a high-density material state have also awakened one by one, and now the awakened except for a small number of weaker silicon-level ancestors, the others are carbon-level ancestors, or should they be called fierce beasts, without us and the night watchman team to take action, the academy students can also solve it." But as more and more energy is released, such as oil extraction, and the further development of high-energy energy sources such as nuclear power, the number and intensity of awakened spirits will increase exponentially, and due to the accident 12 years ago, the number of our official vigil teams has dropped significantly, and now it is less than double digits, which is really worrying."

Seeing that the principal finally started to get down to business, Professor Gu Ding didn't have time to think about the posture of the two of them now, and said firmly: "So I think we should increase the number of students enrolled in the college and shorten the time of the preparatory department to quickly supply blood to the night watchman team, otherwise it will be too late after the developed countries are building nuclear power plants on a large scale and the developing countries are also developing energy on a large scale!"

Principal Wang stretched out a free hand and rubbed his temple, "I know, I know that we have been trying our best to influence the United Nations to restrict nuclear testing, and we have also secretly supported OPEC in restricting oil exports, but I also know that these are just delaying the development of civilization, and forcibly hindering the development of civilization will inevitably be buried by the torrent of history, well, now is not the time to hide my existence from the people we are guarding, I will put forward a bill at the school board and the night watch."

"And what about the idea of increasing the opportunities for students to do internships in the field?" Gu Ingot hesitated for a moment, but said anyway.

Hearing this question, Principal Wang's bright face darkened, and he was silent for a long time before he slowly let go of the ancient ingots and stood up and said, "Let me think about it again, if we are so eager for quick success and interfere too much in the process of civilization, what is the difference between us and the radicals?"

Gu Ingot also took the opportunity to stand up, seeing that Principal Wang's face was slightly painful, knowing that he still couldn't let go, he comforted: "We are doing this to protect, and the radical careerists are for dictatorship and rule, and with the awakening of the spirits, we night watchmen will inevitably appear more and more in the lives of ordinary people, if you are worried about being treated by ordinary people like the witches who burned to death in Europe, there is no way to do it." ”

At this time, Principal Wang's eyes became complicated and confused, and he said leisurely: "I'm not too worried about ordinary people, sooner or later, they will also understand the cruelty of this world." It's just that I know that sometimes the original guardians will be confused by power and power and eventually embark on the path of radical pursuit of domination, personality cults, dictatorships, and the establishment of religions and gods, and I know that you don't want to mention Yuan Hui with me, after all, this is the only original night watchman of my time, the grandmaster of the Spiritual-Rational School, I killed the leader with my own hands, but I don't regret killing him, when he sought to establish a religion for power, and intended to stimulate the scientific and technological development of a part of the country, when his idealism changed, I really regretted that the young people who were killed together for following him 12 years ago, many of them did not know that the leaders of their school had gone to extremes, just to bring the hope of rising to their own people, but the Night Watch Council at that time had been frightened of all the actions of the radicals because of the Second World War and the Soviet Union, directly issued the eternal night order, I only hate myself, I can't stop this decision, I can only save their descendants," After speaking, the old man actually shed tears

At this time, Gu Ingot was also uncomfortable, and he remembered a simple and simple friend, who also died because of the Eternal Night Order that would rather kill the wrong one. At that time, he was on a long vacation with his wife to raise children in China, and he had no idea what his school leader was doing, and before he died, he could only leave a will for himself, and he could only find a peripheral member of the Night's Watch who was ostensibly a real estate tycoon, entrusted him with pretending to marry his friend's wife, and secretly took care of his friend's young son under the watchful eye of the Night's Watch Council. And the wife of his friend returned to the night watchman when his youngest son was 9 years old, and entered the place where he did not exist, and since then he and his son can basically only contact him by phone for a long time, he looked up at Principal Wang, who had stabilized his emotions a little, and said softly: "Hao Qiang and Xing Shuixin's son has arrived at the preparatory base in T City, and we will have a chance to compensate."

"Well, Gu Ingot, let's make up for your long-lost father."

"%¥#...&@, you're enough of the old slippery head, you're recovering pretty fast!"
