Seeing that they didn't have time to prepare more "lightning rods", Su Rui and Hao Song picked up the three steel bars that had been cut off and were nearly one person thick and nearly one person high and ran to the wall of the security room, but what they saw were Sean sweating profusely and Catherine who still didn't look any better.

"What's going on? Catherine hasn't been rescued yet?" asked Suri eagerly.

Sean said while using a pacemaker in the field: "Maybe it's because she doesn't have strong physical fitness, and she was attacked alone, she has suffered a lot of electric shocks alone, and it's been a long time, so it's a little difficult to restore her heart function!"

Su Rui bit her lip and looked at Catherine's soft and bloodless little face, and said in a deep voice: "Hao Song and I are in charge of guarding, you concentrate on saving people!" Her resolute and feminine face swayed in the slowly dim light of the flares

Hao Song didn't know what to do after inserting the steel bar, so he could only look at Su Rui blankly, and the thoughts in his heart appeared in a mess: for a while, he thought of the security door of his house and didn't know if it was installed; for a while, he thought that his high school friends were now sleeping soundly at home and would have to go to class the next day; his thoughts jumped to his mother Xing Shuixin, she didn't know that her son was doing something terrible, right? and thought that if he died here today, his 18 years of miserable life would be over. It's just that being able to die with Su Rui seems to be pretty good, but it's a bit of a loss to still be a virgin. Hao Song thought about it and didn't know why he suddenly had an impulse, thinking that it would be a matter of an instant to die after the flare completely failed, and it seemed that this was the last chance. So he suddenly shouted on impulse: "Su Rui"

Su Rui was trying to find the Prophet in the shadows with the last light of the flare. Hearing Hao Song call her look over a little impatiently, she asked at the same time, "Say something quickly!" and then continued to look around.

Hao Song opened his mouth, and suddenly didn't know what to say or how to say. Say that I think she is very good, and I like her very much? Will she accept it? After accepting it, the two of them hug each other and die together? Or laugh and laugh when I am joking? And then the two of them meet as friends? Or just beat me up to make me sober up? Is it really good to say it? Although I may not have a chance to say it now, what if I muster up one of my few courages to say it and then be rejected? And then die with regret and embarrassment? I always feel that I am rejected, and even if I live, I will not be good for the rest of my life

In the end, a cowardly nature prevailed, and in the face of Su Rui's impatient inquiry. Hao Song randomly found a topic and said, "Do you think we can survive this time?"

Su Rui was stunned when she heard this, and turned her face slightly to fall into silence. Hao Song also realized that the topic he said casually was a little inappropriate, and immediately said with a haha: "Well, in fact, what I want to say is that we should be able to go back alive this time, right?

Hao Song was originally nonsense, but when it came to this, whether others believed it or not, he himself believed it a little, and said in a tone of sudden relief and relief: "Yes! There is no reason why it must kill us and then quickly! Let's run away immediately after saving people, call reinforcements and then bulldoze that little sparrow! Properly! Eh, no, this is not a runaway, the great leader taught us that this is called strategic transfer!"

Seeing Su Rui's calm eyes, he suddenly couldn't say any more, so he had to smile and say, "Did I say something wrong?"

Su Rui said in an indifferent tone: "What is the idea of this ancestral spirit, you may or may not be right. But if we want to live, we can only consider the worst-case scenario" and then stopped, looked at Catherine, who was lying on the ground and still didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and Sean, who was trying to save her, and said word by word: "Because we only have one life!

At this time, the flares emitted the last flash of warning, extinguishing the battle in the darkness that would begin again. At this time, there are still 3 hours before dawn

Meanwhile, in the Marshall Islands in the Southern Hemisphere, not far from dawn, it is the darkest time of the night.

Principal Hart Bihevir-y-Wang, dressed in a white practice uniform, stood on the somewhat blackened outer wall of the Night's Watch Fortress, looking down at the pile of black ash not far away.

At this moment, Edward appeared in the headmaster's sight with a disgraced face. The blond bamboo pole man's shirt jacket is covered with a body armor with a somewhat charred surface, revealing a composite pottery shard that is also charred inside, and the style of this body armor is somewhat similar to the "turtle shell" on Hao Song's body, but it seems to be lighter, at least no one will think he looks like a turtle when he wears it on Edward. He rushed into the principal's field of vision, and then looked at the pile of ashes in the principal's sight with some confusion, shook his head, and said with a straight face: "Principal! All the ember slaves that appeared this time have been cleared! We have already begun to rest and clean up the battlefield! This time, 76 students were injured, 13 of them were seriously injured, and no one was killed!"

Principal Wang didn't say something like "you have done a good job" or "everyone has worked hard", but said slowly: "The strength and number of Ember Slaves have increased again this time, right? It seems that our old neighbors are also a little lonely!"

Edward's face changed when he heard the words of his old neighbor, and he said nervously, "Headmaster, did you mean that the fire demon that you suppressed?"

Principal Wang looked at Edward's face that was a little pale due to nervousness, smiled slightly, and said, "Although the name of the Fire Demon is quite appropriate, this thing is actually just an ancient spirit. Its original species is supposed to be a cattle. After evolving to the silicon level, it changed its form because it absorbed a large amount of flame energy, and I prefer to call it the Ember Cow for the sake of military considerations. ”

Edward calmed down when he listened to the principal's words, and then heard the principal continue: "The ancestral spirit meat is very delicious, but unfortunately this cow can be quantified for a large part of its body, and the chef of the spiritual core school doesn't know how to cook, otherwise he can taste it" After speaking, he subconsciously licked his lips with his tongue, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The corners of Edward's mouth twitched, and the suppression of the fire demons by the Heart Dao Academy in recent decades was just a dish in the eyes of the headmaster. I guess if it weren't for the fact that it was a bit difficult to get down to the bottom, and it took a lot of effort to kill, and it was necessary to use the ember slaves to train the students, the headmaster would have slaughtered the cow a long time ago, right? And according to the headmaster's words, he had never eaten the spirit before! It was really reassuring to have such a headmaster

Principal Wang also seemed to realize the gaffe just now, coughed lightly, and changed the topic: "This time the loss is so big, in addition to the increase in the strength of the opponent, it is also related to the fact that the Night Watch family has transferred some of the family's students, how are the gravediggers' actions now?"

Edward snorted a little angrily, and said: "The Night's Watch family, I think their Night's Watch heart is not necessarily greater than their belief in continuing the family inheritance The Gravedigger has completely disappeared after the contraction of each family, but the magic power is vast, and this time the Night's Watch family is equivalent to being beaten once. There was schadenfreude in his words.

"That's enough! These are not the words that one of your students should say! After the influence of the Night's Watch family in the school has been minimized, have you become more and more inattentive to what you say?" Principal Wang was furious.

Edward quickly apologized, but his language was still disrespectful to the Night's Watch family.

Principal Wang looked at Edward's somewhat stubborn expression, sighed, and said, "I know what you're thinking, and I don't like those guys either." But they are very powerful, and they are the backbone of the university and even the organization. From a political point of view, we both made a compromise, and it is impossible to really make trouble to the point where the Night's Watch is divided again. You can dislike them, even hate them, but you still need them. After all, we have the same demands, the same philosophy" The words reveal the helplessness of an old man.

Edward wasn't exactly an angry young man, and was a little silent when he heard it. and the principal, who was looking at memories at this time, were speechless for a while.

After I don't know how long, the principal suddenly said, "I always feel that something is wrong. The gravedigger's previous actions were very targeted and purposeful, and the execution was quite impressive. Although they have never targeted the academy, I have been following them as well. This group of people is small in number, but they often take advantage of the situation to exert unimaginable power, which shows that their decision-makers are very wise and decisive. How could such a guy make such a startling move, just for the sake of some expatriate members of the family?"

The ancient ingots who appeared on one side showed a slight look on his face, but he was still meticulous and steady. He first signaled for Edward to go, and then looked at the headmaster, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's hard to guess their actions if we don't know what they are trying to do, maybe their target is a hidden family member with great potential, or maybe they are just hiding what they want to do when the family power is shrinking, we don't know." ”

Principal Wang glanced at the direction Edward had left, then rubbed his temples and said, "Thank you, Gu ingot." ”

Gu Ingot reacted very normally to this brainless thank you, and returned: "You are not easy, so you don't need to thank me." After a pause, he said, "How is the power of the fire demon recovering?"

Principal Wang showed a hint of worry and said: "It's much faster than I imagined, I've been suppressing its stimulation of this dormant volcano, but it's getting more and more difficult recently, if you let it succeed, the consequences are unimaginable, the volcanic eruption is secondary, the important thing is how much damage and impact such a powerful ancestral spirit will cause, we can't estimate it." ”

Professor Gu Ding also frowned slightly, and said, "We haven't been able to find a way to kill it with 100% certainty yet, but there are some plans with a considerable chance of success, at least to make it sleep again." ”

The headmaster was silent for a while, and suddenly said with a mocking look on his face: "Are you finally going to accept my opinion and hang a big red cloth on the sea?"

Gu Ingot stared at the headmaster's face and was silent for a moment, then said expressionlessly, "It's a rumor that the cow will get angry when it sees red. We've tried to shoot it down into the sea, and the result is that its energy attack is much less powerful, and of course that's when we see it in its true nature."

"Hey, you're too serious~"

"Believe it or not, I'm going to jump off the building to show you!Can you be serious as a principal?" Gu Ingot finally couldn't help but explode, it seems that it is not unreasonable for Professor Chrysanthemum to be called "the one who was played badly".

"Hey~ That's right, Gu Ingot Boy, take out the momentum to save the world! How can an old man with facial paralysis become a cool night watchman?" Principal Wang was excited when he heard this.

"Cool you're big! Do you think it's a movie? Men in black? Do you still want to wear a trench coat and sunglasses to drive a Lamborghini? Do you usually watch less Hollywood blockbusters?"

Principal Wang was even more ecstatic, secretly glanced at the pocket of his practice uniform, and then wanted to continue to tease. At this time, Gu Ingot suddenly stopped his mouth, closed his eyes slightly, took a long breath, and then exhaled. After a few seconds, he finally regained his face and said expressionlessly: "You old slippery head won, I know that tomorrow's headlines will definitely appear Professor Gu Ingot God complaining about the second bullet."

Principal Wang took out his mobile phone with some regret, stopped recording, and muttered: "It's too much shorter than last time, the headlines are not necessarily! But it's not bad, if Wang Feng can learn from me, it won't be."

"You can't understand how a nearly 500-year-old guy feels when he sells cuteness in front of you, and you always feel that if you don't say something out loud, you'll be so uncomfortable that you die" - Grewood-D. Gu (Gu ingot)
