Chapter 3 The Number of Successes and Failures
In January of the 568th year of the Altino calendar, Reins took the royal capital
In the midst of the chaos, the countdown time is approaching, but the work of cracking the code is not progressing.
Originally, with everyone's familiarity with the research institute system, coupled with the division of labor and cooperation among the elites of various departments, it should not be difficult to break the password ban, although the traps and obstacles encountered in the process made them spend a little more time, but in the end they still entered the system within a quarter of an hour and cracked the 32-digit password.
The shouting of joy of success turned into a silent sigh before it could be spoken. When the programmer who led the team pressed the "Stop Self-Destruct" button, the entire system immediately shut down, rebooted, and formatted the hard disk of the computer that was trying to hack.
When the scrambled researcher reconnected to the main console from another spare computer, he found that the system had just jumped off and switched to a new set of passwords.
It's just that everyone also guessed that even if they crack the code again, the self-detonation system that has already been passively manipulated and detonated (missing)
The focus of the most attention is naturally Bai Junze, the current head of the elders.
"How about it? Don't you plan to admit defeat? The way to solve the matter is very simple, as long as you admit that no one in the entire Taiyan Academy can solve the problem in front of you, beg me to dismantle the system for you, that's it, how about it? Is it difficult to say such a sentence?"
The girl's cold words undoubtedly hit the truth. It is true that only one sentence can solve the problem, but saying this sentence symbolizes the supreme dignity of the Taiyan Academy for two thousand years, and it has been trampled on the soles of its feet, and there is no chance to turn over.
"Who...... Who wants to bow to you!" It has entered the last three minutes, Bai Junze's attitude is still very tough, "I have been in charge of the Jixia Academy for two thousand years, this is our pride, we will never allow outsiders to trample on it, you give up!"
"Do you want to swear to defend your reputation? Such a spirit is worthy of appreciation! But do you really have such determination? Do you have such an awareness that you will not hesitate to lose everyone's lives in order to protect the reputation of the Taiyan Academy?"
The girl's tone became tougher and stronger, and the sentence was shouted almost in a questioning tone. In the bottom of her heart, she is also sitting on pins and needles, and she is very anxious. Prepared, she was sure that even if the explosion occurred, she would be able to get out of the way, but it would take at least three seconds to disarm the system, and if there was a miscalculation of a second or two when disarming, and if these guys didn't admit defeat until the last second, it would be too late even if she was willing to disarm the system for them.
But......
"Those old men look tough, but in a life-or-death situation, they will compromise, the key is in the last ten seconds, as long as you are more calm than them, you will win. Ailing, you have to remember that if you don't force those old guys to admit defeat to you completely, even if you sit on the dean throne, they will still not obey you, which is very important......"
Bai Sangongzi has repeatedly told him about this, but the girl's mood at the moment is really anxious. It's just a matter of scaring people, if she really hurts so many lives for herself, this is something she can't accept.
At the moment of life and death, it is impossible for everyone to stand the same way, and one by one the eyes with pleading eyes are focused on Bai Junze's body.
Touching these eyes, the old man's tough posture wavered slightly.
However, the lives of the children are of course very important, but if you plead with this girl, and this matter is passed into the ears of the head of the family, Bai Wuji, with his personality that values talent over everything, he will definitely make some moves, at that time, will it really make this outsider who does not have the blood of the Bai family become the master of the Taiyan Academy?
Thinking of the seriousness of this matter, Bai Junze hesitated and couldn't make such a difficult decision.
"The last twenty seconds...... All personnel are requested to evacuate as soon as possible, and if you are still below the third basement level at this time, please prepare for a superlife......
10.9 ......"
The last warning of the system has been issued, and the girl said: "Anyone can do it! If you don't want to die, say it! Is dignity so important?"
Entering the countdown of tens of seconds, she couldn't help it anymore with her gentle nature. The original plan was to make the elders in power admit defeat, so that it made sense, but she couldn't care about it, even if it was a mopping the floor, hurry up and make a noise to end the matter!
"Eight, Seven......"
The strong psychological pressure has made people a little unbearable, and more than a dozen researchers have distorted expressions, and it can be seen that they are forbearing, but what is surprising is that although their hearts have been shaken, in the end, they still obey the group order and do not stand out from the crowd, which is really an incredible thing in the eyes of outsiders.
It's just that when he saw the performance of his younger generations, Bai Junze seemed to have been hit a lot. His lips moved slightly, and his hands were slightly raised, as if he was about to give up his original insistence and surrender to the girl and admit defeat. It's a pity that until then......
"Six..."
"Cappuccino!"
Worried about the miscalculation when the self-explosion was lifted, when the countdown entered the last six seconds, the girl couldn't bear it anymore and shouted the order first.
After receiving the command, the mechanical dog's mouth opened, and the beam cannon that had once blasted through the three-layer alloy guard gate in one fell swoop was aimed at the main console after adjusting the power, and then in the loud bang, the entire main console turned into a pile of charred black scrap metal.
"Five, Four, Three......"
The next three seconds countdown,The electronic voice is getting longer and longer,Abrupt stop,Originally, Ailing rewrote the self-detonation system to automatically stop after not receiving the telecommunications from the main console,This matter has also been guessed by researchers,But the work of cracking the code,There is a very important part to use the main console to operate,If the main console is destroyed,The self-detonation system still can't be stopped,Then everyone can really only wait for death,So think about it,After all, no one dares to put this idea into practice。
When the self-detonation system was lifted, the sound of the machine operation sounded, and the alloy guards that blocked the entrances and exits were removed, restoring external traffic and bringing everything to an end......
"Oh woo......"
As if sensing the owner's frustration, the mechanical dog whined at his feet. The girl leaned over and patted her dog, feeling depressed.
...... It's just a critical one or two seconds, but I still can't hold my breath, and all my efforts have come to naught, Mr. Da Lang and Mr. Bai San will definitely feel very immature when they know it!
There is no way, now the plan has failed, and such a big battle has become a farce, and it has added trouble to the entire research institute...... The most embarrassing part has to be borne by myself at this moment.
The whole thing turned out like this, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing how it would end later. The girl who had been domineering and came in a kicking posture suddenly lost her momentum, and her shoulders hung down, like a defeated rooster.
But everyone can't regard her as a loser, after all, from beginning to end, she has everything in her hands, as long as anyone with a discerning eye can see that just now Elder Bai Junze was about to admit defeat......
"I'm the one who loses. I would like to express my gratitude to all of you at the Graduate School for protecting the dignity of the Graduate School until the last moment. This institute was founded with the help of my mentor Huang Taiji, and as a disciple, I really don't know how to express my gratitude. ”
No longer to imitate anyone, Ailing at this moment, sincerely said what she wanted to say, although there was no momentum at all, but there was naturally a moving emotion between the words, when she leaned over and bowed to everyone, some people even couldn't help but bow back.
"Because of my mentorship, I want to make Taiyan Institute my home, so I have something to say to you.
Dignity is indeed a very important thing, but if we insist on dignity to solve the problem, the Taiyan Institute will not become the situation it is today, and the situation just now may be destroyed in one step by just one step. “
How strange is that......
For more than a year, when I was covered in garbage and sour smell, and when I was depressed and angry under the small lamp, I would like to say that one day, when I raise my eyebrows, I will give back to these human beings who don't take other races seriously: but at this time, I actually stood in front of everyone, and thought that everyone was a comrade who was interested in the study of the Ancient Demon Dao, and the anger in my heart couldn't be raised at all, and all I said was gentle words.
Speaking what she was about to say in one breath, the girl said slowly, "I believe that if you can use the determination and ability you just showed in other aspects, the future of the Taiyan Academy should be more developed." ”
There was nothing more to say, the mechanical dog ran ahead to clear the way, and the girl slowly left. For a while, they didn't know whether she should be a friend or foe, and the researchers naturally gave way without any obstruction, and just let her go.
Before going out, everyone suddenly remembered that they had been making trouble for a long time, and they didn't know the name of the mysterious girl, and a researcher called her and asked her to leave her name.
Looking back at the moment of speaking, the girl's red hair was as dazzling as coral, and with a slightly apologetic smile, it left an extremely deep impression on everyone's hearts.
"Albert Einstein. My name is Taka. Einstein. ”
At this time, the elders of the Taiyan Academy still planned to block the news of what happened today, but only ten days later, this name spread throughout the Wind Continent, and on that day, more than half of the young people of the Taiyan Academy were almost crazy about the owner of this name.
For the defenders who have gradually become accustomed to offensive and defensive warfare, this kind of combat lacking substantial threat is not so much a siege war, but a siege exercise.
Lancelot, who wore the Fenghua sword on his waist, paced up and down the city, commanding the battle for many days, and he also had some command know-how, and he issued orders in a good way. For the troops defending the city, there is a heavenly master to suppress the formation, and everyone is like a reassuring pill in the factory, and they can rest assured that there will be no major casualties.
But for Lancelot himself, this fruitless war annoyed him. The enemy did not send the Ancient Demon Dao weapon to attack, and Han Te hid without a shadow, no matter how he provoked, he didn't show up, and the brother-in-law he cared about the most was ...... Not to mention fighting, I don't even know what that guy looks like.
It's very nerve-wracking! If several heavenly masters meet directly and fight a hearty battle, it will be much better than the current stalemate with their heads in their heads, and they will defend the city all day in January, and although it has not snowed for the past two days, it is still very uncomfortable to blow the cold wind! Moreover, why do you have to be hostile to your brother-in-law whom she has never met?
Fatherless and motherless, during Lancelot's upbringing, there were no relatives, and his adoptive father often left him alone in the mountains to survive, and only appeared after ten days and half a month. Even if you can live, you rarely see your own kind, and the loneliness is very uncomfortable.
After recognizing Nier, he finally had relatives around him, which made Lancelot feel very happy, and then he married Xiaocao and had a family of his own, which was also very happy, but there was sadness in the joy, because of the relationship between Amakusa Shiro, they lost the opportunity to increase the size of the family forever.
It stands to reason that his wife's relatives should also be his relatives, and Lancelot even wants to get the approval of these people with a little trepidation. It's just that it seems to be a little difficult to implement, the second brother-in-law Bai Wuji has not been able to meet until now, and the brother-in-law Bai Qi, who "never existed", ran to the enemy camp as soon as he got out. Did you do something very annoying to make them despise themselves like this?
According to Xiaocao, neither of the two brothers-in-law is the kind of person who has a high desire for power, so the boss of the Bai family joined the Bai Xing camp in order not to seize the throne of Reins, so why? Before he inevitably wants to fight to the death with his relatives and friends, Lancelot hopes to find out the reason first.
In addition, it's so strange! If the existence of this boss of the Bai family was wiped out as soon as he was born, then why did the people of the Bai family call Bai Wuji "Second Young Master" and Liya "Third Miss"? Wouldn't they wonder who the boss was?
Seeing that today's war has come to an end, and there will be no more big moves, Lancelot, who has been waiting for a day again, prepares to leave in frustration.
"Hey, did you hear that? There's a big deal going on at the institute today......"
"What? What the hell is going on?"
"The elders have issued a gag order, but paper can't contain the fire, let me tell you, there was a beautiful girl who came to the institute alone this morning, she ......"
Considering that the enemy might attack with the Ancient Demon Dao weapon, the Academy sent several students to participate in the defense of the city, and when he passed by them, Lancelot heard such talk. Quietly, he listened to the conversation of several people: he knew immediately in his heart what was happening.
(Is this done???!)
Leaving in a hurry, Lenslow hurried to look for traces of Ailing in the city, but she did not go back, the door of her residence was locked, and there was no trace of anyone coming back, apparently she did not come back after the earth-shattering uproar in the research institute.
(... Where did this girl go...... )
"Really, I'm so stupid, too much of a failure, good chances, messed up again......"
Sitting by the river, looking at the frozen river, Ailing let out a long sigh and exhaled hot white gas from her mouth, making her palm feel a little warm.
Unable to feel the cold, the mechanical dog still circled around its owner, running around, barking twice from time to time, hoping to wake up the girl who had entered a state of distraction.
When I left the research institute, I said very handsome things, but the more I thought about it after leaving, the more annoyed I became, and it was not easy for the traitor to have a chance to reverse everything, but because of his relationship, he messed up again.
And this time there was no reason to fail, purely because of his lack of concentration and no way to survive to the end, which made the plan go to waste. Since this is the case, then you can't blame others, and even the last chance was given up under your own choice, and there is no point in continuing to rely on the Taiyan Academy.
But there's another thing that's very bad. After leaving the Taiyan Academy, I originally planned to go back to my residence to rest, after all, Mr. Dalang will be here today, and I should meet with him and give an explanation. However, at this time, I remembered that when I was cross-dressing, I actually forgot to ask Mr. Bai San how to change back to his original state!
Whining...... There's no way to change back, and I don't know where to find someone, so is it just like this in my life, with red hair, and living with this appearance? Although I said that I used cross-dressing props before, but this kind of dress is too weird......
The more I think about it, the worse it is, and besides, I make such a big fuss in the research institute, and when those people settle down, they will definitely look for people everywhere.
I have nowhere to hide, and I can't change back to my original appearance, so I will definitely be caught in three or two clicks, and then things will be in trouble.
Therefore, Ailing did not even dare to go back to her residence, so she hurried into the second-hand clothes store on the street, used the remaining copper coins on her body, bought a dusty thick cloak and put it on, and covered her head and face with a pullover. Sure enough, he changed his clothes, hid Cappuccino in the hidden pocket of his cloak, and went out for a walk, when a group of researchers from the Taiyan Academy ran behind him, and angrily asked the pedestrians around him if they had seen a red-haired girl with a beautiful appearance and a light green vest.
Fortunately, the Taiyan Academy is a believer in secrecy, and this matter is a great shame, and everyone is reluctant to make too much publicity, so they are vague when asked. Taiyan Institute is the chief unit of the Academy, the life of the academy is usually above the top, in the eyes of ordinary people naturally covered with a very deep layer of mystery, at this time to see a bunch of researchers like headless flies around asking around, are all surprised, answer at the same time also try to inquire about the reason, the result of the two sides entangled, unclear, when the researchers found out that the girl has changed disguise, people have already gone far.
Reyns is known as the Magic Kingdom, and the passers-by wearing gray cloaks are really hundreds and thousands as far as the eye can see, and it is impossible to track down which direction the target is going in for a while, so everyone has to give up.
The matter has already started to break out, Ailing did not dare to go back to the residence within the scope of the research institute, threw himself into the net, and did not know how to contact Mr. Dalang, after thinking hard, he had to sneak out of the city alone and came to the riverside where he first met Mr. Dalang.
"It's so cold, Cappuccino, it looks like it's going to snow! Will you be cold too? Probably not, because I have a special equipment designed for you to protect against the cold!" Touching the dog that approached, the girl did not hold it affectionately in her arms as usual, because at this time when the weather was very cold, she hugged a ball of cool metal into her arms, which had already constituted the conditions for endurance competition.
"It's terrible if it snows, this suit doesn't protect you from the cold, you don't have the tools at hand, you can't make some equipment against the cold, alas! Cappuccino, if only I had designed you to chop wood and make a fire...... Huh, you say you don't like that...... Well, why hasn't Mr. Da Lang come yet?"
The snow gradually drifted down, and I was a little dizzy with cold, and it was at this moment that the long-awaited call came to my ears.
"Hey, what are you doing hiding here alone, you damn girl! I've been looking for you for a long time!"
Lancelot was really looking for a while. After finding no one in Ailing's residence, he found that there were people everywhere in the Jixia School Palace looking for the red-haired girl who had fallen out with the Taiyan Academy today, and he was stunned for a moment, isn't Ailing blonde? Could it be that these researchers are looking for someone else?
Several places where we often meet, including the noodle stall where we eat noodles together, ran over, but still couldn't find anyone, and finally thought that I could use the Heavenly Heart Consciousness to lock the soul and search, only to find that she actually hid outside the city. Thinking that he was really stupid, he wanted to avoid the search of the Taiyan Academy, and the best place was originally outside the city, and he actually wasted so much time in the city.
"Mr. Dalang!"
"Hey, you and the others should at least get up and move, the snow is so thick on you, you're going to catch a cold!"
Lancelot helped the girl brush away the snowflakes that had accumulated on her head, and when the whiteness was gone, she was surprised by the color that came to her eyes.
"Red ...... Red ...... How did your hair get this color? Isn't it dyed too? Is it fashionable lately to dye this kind of bad girly color?"
Among Lancelot's relatives and friends, there are no red-haired beauties. Surprised by this hair color, he even thought of Niel's strange long blue hair after using the dark blue verdict.
Simple question, but it takes a lot of effort to explain, Ailing first told what he did in the Taiyan Academy, listening to Lancelot sometimes nodding, sometimes clapping his hands in admiration, and also sighed at the final result, but when he asked, why Ailing suddenly improved the original plan and became such a beautiful action today, the girl's answer was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.
"Don't you know, Mr. Da Lang, there is a Mr. Bai San, who said that Mr. Da Lang is your friend, who helped me plan these things. He taught me how to cross-dress and helped me a lot...... Why is your expression so strange? Could it be ...... Don't you know Mr. Dalang?"
Don't know? Nonsense, Lancelot can't remember that he has a male friend named Bai San, who has no impression of the name of the person, what kind of friend is this?
But......
(White three...... Why does the whole thing sound more and more like someone's style of doing things? That's probably ...... No, definitely, there is no other possibility than that, alas...... )
Facing Shang Ailing's worried eyes, Lancelot could only sigh: "No, I ...... I know him! The two of us ......
It's a friend, it's up to him to help you, I have no opinion, he thinks of a plan more than me, and with his backing, I'm more at ease, but...... Alas......"
Feeling puzzled by Lancelot's strange sigh, Ailing didn't know what the problem was, and suddenly a cold wind blew, blowing off the snowflakes among the pines, and sprinkled the two of them white.
Lancelot's internal strength is pure, so he naturally doesn't think it's a big deal, but Ailing can't resist the cold, and shiveres a few times in a row.
Lancelot was startled, and didn't care about anything else, he grabbed the girl's delicate palms and sent internal force over to help him ward off the cold.
"Oops......"
The palm of his hand was suddenly held, Ailing was startled, and wanted to withdraw it, but he felt that bursts of heat spread from his palm all over his body, and he was very comfortable, and he looked up at Lancelot's expression, only to see that he was confused and cautious, as if he was thinking about something......
