Chapter 142: Open the Door
"Didn't you say that Lu Mingfei was also here? Why didn't you see him. Chen Motong looked at the busy commissioners and experts in the underground pit, but did not see the figure of President Lu.
She only learned about Lu Mingfei's change of mission after getting on the plane, and turned around and came here. But he was not seen in the camp above or in the temple he had just entered, and this small-looking cave was covered with wires and connected to the power supply and lit up at a glance, not like there was any secret room.
"I also saw a few passages over there in the main hall, and there should be other rooms there, probably in there." Ye Sheng, the only boy among the three brought by Professor Mance, said that he was also surprised when he heard that Lu Mingfei was also here, knowing that a month ago he was just an ordinary high school student in a second-tier city in China.
However, thinking of the observation report that Lu Mingfei had been deleted by the principals after they returned to the academy later, and his performance in the academy for a day of freedom, they had some understanding. Ye Sheng is still a little looking forward to Lu Mingfei's performance this time, after all, it is a rare S-level.
Chen Motong, who looked around for a while, stuffed the baby in his arms into Jiu De Yaji's hand: "You look at him first, milk powder diapers are also in Ye Sheng's bag, you also know how much to put in them, right?"
"Wait!" Hurriedly picking up the baby, Jiu De Aki said in a panic, "What are you going to do here?" No trespassing is allowed here. ”
"What else can you do if you find someone?" Chen Motong grinned, "Don't worry, I know where I can go and where I can't, so I'll go and ask someone." Then he will be handed over to you, so you should adapt in advance. ”
The red face of the wine Aki couldn't stop her, and she was a little overwhelmed by the somewhat uncooperative baby.
"Let's give him something to eat first, so he won't be uncooperative later." Ye Sheng, who was also embarrassed, took out the thermos flask and the baby's bottle in the backpack behind him in order to resolve the embarrassment, rushed the milk powder with a not very skillful movement, and pulled the equally embarrassed wine De Aki came to a place in the corner where there was just a stone to sit on under the somewhat puzzled gaze of the surrounding commissioners.
The baby who was left by her sister looked at her departing back with her mouth open and her little hands outstretched, wondering if she should cry, and when she saw the bottle, she decided to wait until she finished drinking the milk.
Putting aside her nominal younger brother who was sent to the Kassel Academy as a gesture of favor by the family, Chen Motong, who was walking alone in the corridor, thought calmly about the person who claimed to be her father, and wanted to laugh a little when she thought he had forced her to do what they thought she should do by cutting off her financial resources.
The so-called economic problems have never been a cage that binds her, she knows that her current rebellion is nothing in their eyes, but the thought of the man who has always been as calm as a warrior warrior knows that he has become friends with Lu Mingfei, who is in the limelight, that look of anger makes her heart ache.
This made her, who was already looking for an ally to rebel, insist on her choice, and Lu Mingfei, who could make that man so angry, must have something extraordinary about him, although he usually behaves very extraordinary.
After thinking about it, she grabbed a commissioner who wanted to go in and inquired about the news of the S-level road president.
"Is the legend about that place true? And it's the second time he's entered! Mance recovered from the news that had taken him by surprise for months, and in disbelief he asked the leader of contemporary alchemy in front of him.
"That's right, the things he brought out when he first entered there have been divided between the three scientific research departments of the academy, ground into powder and used in a lot of alchemy equipment, and have achieved very excellent results." The vice principal nodded, "Also, this is a top secret that Norma and the school board have not recorded. You are also Ange's henchman, I just told you, and the people here have also signed the confidentiality regulations, and they will not pass these things on. ”
"Understood." Mance calmed down, and as one of the few people who had taken the vice-chancellor's course, he understood the meaning of the place better than anyone else.
Returning to the place just now, he found Ye Sheng and Jiu De Aki who were coaxing the children on the side, but he didn't see the student who was not worrying, and Mance frowned slightly: "Where did Nono go?"
Let the wine De Aki, who was coaxing the baby who was crying somehow after feeding, continue to coax the baby, Ye Sheng walked forward and replied to the tutor: "She went to find her classmate, and the S-class temporary commissioner who came to us in advance is her classmate."
"Let her come back, that S-class isn't out there." Mance pinched the corners of his eyes with a little headache, he also knew a little about the student's family situation that gave her a headache but also liked it quite a lot, and he also understood that she was looking for someone who could help her, and he also hoped that someone could give her some help if he could.
"It's time to open the door, it's not comforting for this little baby to be without her." Mance hugged the baby who was still crying in the student's arms, and the baby who was still crying just now quieted down, lying on Mance's shoulder and biting his fingers.
Waiting for Ye Sheng to go to the outside hall to find Chen Motong, Mance comforted the baby who had not coaxed the baby, and said to the somewhat lost wine De Aki: "Aki, you don't have to blame yourself too much, you will definitely become a good mother if you are gentle to everyone." He's just a little bit of a confession, and he'll be very dependent on you when you get acquainted with her. ”
Aki Aki, who had blushed again, was waiting in place to find someone, and Mance walked to the dam that had been reinforced by the vice-principal with alchemy. The alchemy-treated reservoir keeps the river flowing long since it had dried up, but it is still much smaller than before.
However, there are also two huge soft water pipes that hold water next to the original river channel, and the other end is connected to the water tanker next to the entrance above, so that there are many vehicles filled with water near the entrance, which were transferred from Baghdad by the Minister of West Asia. Vehicles that have run out of water will return to the Euphrates River near the capital, from where they will be hauled, and vehicles that have been drained will return when they are full.
"Almost, it's okay." The Vice Chancellor looked up from the reservoir, and in order to prevent the alchemy matrix on the reservoir from interfering with the ability of the "key", he had just made some modifications to the reservoir. Although the ancient books that have been handed down from their family have some records of the ability of the "key", these things should not affect him, on the contrary, they may be used by him. But only the vice-principal, who was cautious about alchemy, took these things into account in order to prevent accidents.
The baby who was being held by Mance looked a little blankly at the wide river walled by man-made structures that could only be said to be a ditch, and his big golden eyes looked into the depths of the river, as if something was attracting him below.
"Do you feel something?" Mance, who was holding him, noticed his anomaly and handed him over to the red-haired girl who came behind him at some point.
Chen Motong took the baby who was about to pounce with an indignant face, she basically asked everyone in the hall outside about Lu Mingfei's whereabouts just now, but they either didn't say it directly, or they just glanced into the cave and ignored her.
This riddler-like attitude made her almost scold, and no one dared to use this attitude against her since she considered herself the head of the eldest sister in kindergarten. Fortunately, Ye Sheng, who came from behind, pulled her back, otherwise this thorn would really dare to cause trouble here.
The happy baby who threw himself into his sister's arms, didn't notice that Mance, who was still holding him just now, quietly took out a small syringe, and when he was lying in his sister's arms, he pricked the baby's exposed white arm and pulled out a blood.
The baby, who felt a chill on his arm, looked back just in time to see Professor Mance put away his syringe. He didn't feel much pain, he opened his mouth to stop crying, but Ye Sheng, who had been prepared, stuffed something into his mouth. The baby with the pacifier finally failed to cry and fell back into his sister's arms.
Taking the special test tube handed over by Aki Aki, Mance evenly divided the blood into the test tube, packed one of the test tubes and sealed it and gave it to Aki Aki for safekeeping, Mance took the other test tube and came to the vice principal standing in the water with water, and handed the test tube: "Usually only one milliliter is used in experiments, but this time, in order to prevent accidents, I took a little more as a backup." ”
The vice-principal, still wearing a denim suit and still wet from the river, nodded and took it, and when Mance returned to the shore, he raised his hand to signal that someone immediately turned off the switch on the soft water pipe that was filling the water.
Without the re-entry of water, the water level of the river that maintained the flow of the alchemical matrix was slowly decreasing. The vice principal unhurriedly twisted the seal of the test tube, allowing the bright red blood inside to drip and spread on the surface of the water.
The riverbank was now full of people, and the researchers, who had been busy just a moment ago, had gathered. They were all people who had signed a confidentiality agreement, but unlike the three newcomers next to them who had also signed the agreement with a curious face, they were the ones who knew the truth beneath the river.
Two interns from the executive department and a student at the school looked at the crowd around them inexplicably, as if they were on a pilgrimage, and they couldn't understand what they were doing. However, the confidentiality agreement signed just now also said that this mission is top secret, and don't ask if you encounter anything you don't understand.
At this time, even the prickly Chen Motong quieted down and looked at the vice principal with a serious expression in the water. Then, the baby in her arms lit up with bright golden eyes and turned to look at the surface of the lake, which was gradually boiling without knowing what was happening.
The people surrounding the riverbank also discovered this scene, whispering to each other with excited expressions, and some of them couldn't control their emotions and even lit up their golden pupils directly.
The vice principal also showed an ecstatic expression and looked at the water surface with movements, his golden pupils that were brighter than anyone present lit up, and all his five senses, which were extremely sensitive to alchemy, were activated, and he didn't want to let go of any strange changes under the water.
The surface of the water continued to boil like boiling water, but for a long time there was no other reaction. The vice-principal, who was carefully observing, noticed that something was wrong, the door had not yet opened. He had been standing in the water so that he could be the first to enter when the door was opened, but he could feel the breath of another world, but he hadn't seen where the door was.
"Bring me another tube of blood!" He shouted at the shore, and Mance immediately took the safe that had been opened by Aki Aki, rushed down the riverbank, and collapsed into the seemingly boiling but still cold water outside.
The vice-principal, who took the test tube again, didn't wait for Mance to leave, and just broke it and threw it in. The people who remained on the riverbank watched this scene with a sad mood, and they were extremely eager to become witnesses of history, although it is estimated that everything here will not be able to be told for a long time.
The vice-principal watched closely at the door that was still boiling, but it was still not open. The baby in Chen Motong's arms on the shore had been extinguished, and the golden pupil turned his head and looked curiously at the researchers and commissioners with various expressions on the shore.
Gradually, the commissioners on the shore, who had also found something wrong, whispered louder, eager to know whether they had succeeded or failed.
The vice-principal, who was still standing in the water, couldn't believe that he had taken two steps in the water, and then said something weak to the shore that had begun to make noise.
This weak and very small sound was heard by the people on the shore who had been paying attention to this side, and after reminding the people around them one by one, the shore quickly returned to quiet.
"Failed, the place was completely cut off from the outside world." The vice-principal's voice sounded as if he had lost his vitality, but no matter how disappointed he was, he had to explain clearly to the people present that every failure in their history was the price of their subsequent success, but this time the price was a bit large.
He continued: "I suspect there are two reasons for the disconnection, one is that the existence that created the space has died, and the space without support will be destroyed, and then completely disconnected from the real world. The second is that the existence inside has already got what he wants, in order to prevent us from going in and disturbing, he took the initiative to cut off the link between it and the outside world, but in doing so, while we can't get in, he may not be able to get out himself, but as the creator there, he will always have more ways than us. ”
"That's my guess, and it's not necessarily accurate, because we know so little about it." Old...... No, it was the vice-principal, who had returned to his normal posture as an old man, and sat weakly on the edge of the cistern. He was disappointed and his mood couldn't help but be a little heavy, no matter which of the two results was, Lu Mingfei who entered it would definitely be more than lucky, and he felt a little guilty for not being able to achieve any assistance to them.
"This ......" Mance, who was still in the water, tried to stop the vice principal, but he was still in the water and he also felt what seemed to be boiling, but in fact there was no change at all.
"What about Lu Mingfei and them?" The branch minister, who was still on the shore, asked loudly, his expression a little incredulous. He still has a good impression of Lu Mingfei, who helped them kill the corpse guard and save a little face, not to mention that he has not seen a rare S-class in decades.
The Vice Chancellor shook his head and took off the cowboy hat he had been wearing on his head.
Looking at the branch minister who also showed a heavy expression, Chen Motong, who had analyzed the general passage, felt a little cold in his body, and then he was full of anger. She had just shown the man that she was going to resist, and the ally she had chosen had an accident, which made it difficult for her not to connect the dots.
Although it seems far-fetched to outsiders to connect these two things, it is even more impossible to secretly calculate as a Kassel S-class student. But she guessed some family insiders very well that behind the person who claimed to be her father, there were people who could easily accomplish this, and they had every reason and ability to attack Lu Mingfei.
Chen Motong could think of the man calling, and in what he thought was a kind voice, telling her not to resist needlessly, and to let her do what they thought she should do.
"~We were ners to love~" In the quiet environment where everyone was silent, a burst of songs that did not match the atmosphere of the scene sounded like a mobile phone ringtone.
Chen Motong's body tensed up after hearing the bell, and then relaxed a little, this bell was not hers.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the vice principal, who was still in the river, and he also took out his fashionable smartphone in his upper clothes, and stared at Mingfei Lu in the caller column above with wide eyes.
------Off topic------
After reading the spoilers, Fei Ge's operation is amazing, but he didn't expect his sorry to be said to himself.
and Chen Motong's background is mainly based on the previous one, and the Indian surrogate mother of Long Wu is a little inexplicable.
