A few hours later, on the outskirts of a small coastal town, a six-seater stretch Hummer SUV was speeding down the airport highway, and in the middle of the night, the heavy rain was pouring down, the headlights tore through the endless black curtain, and the sides of the wheels splashed a man-high wall of water.

In the third row of the Humvee, Gen Zhisheng is wearing a long black trench coat and a black baseball cap, the lining of the trench coat is a brilliant ukiyo-e, handsome and slightly feminine, white skin has a marble-like texture, and the eyebrows are straight.

Although he had just come off a red-eyed flight in the middle of the night, he was still in good spirits, with the clear light of a sword in his eyes, and seemed to be ready for battle at any time.

Next to Yuan Zhisheng, there are three aluminum alloy boxes with black skin.

With the exception of his own suitcase containing knives for "crafts", all the other equipment was provided by the equipment department of the Kassel Academy, which was airdropped by drone from the nearest branch.

When the box was opened, the guns, ammunition, flares, and grenades were neatly arranged, some of the bullets were red, which was the stunned Frigga bullet, some of the bullets were black, which was the mercury-core blunt gold armor-piercing bullet of the anti-kill dragon, and some of the bullets were general-purpose brass bullets.

Considering that the mission was mainly to detect and stop some dangerous hunters, there was not necessarily a fierce conflict, and other boxes also contained special tear gas, flashbangs, rope guns, stun guns, electrostatic bombs and other unconventional weapons.

As Gen Zhisheng checked his equipment, a tall and lanky young man turned his head in the second row of seats and handed him a light bulletproof vest from the gap in the seat.

"'Battlefield Survival Lesson II' says that when you face a firearm threat when you go out on a mission, if you have body armor in hand, you must wear it." Ye Sheng was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, an army green vest covered with a bunch of pockets, loose jeans underneath, and a pair of tourist shoes, and kindly reminded.

In the driver's seat in the first row, a sunny girl sits in a short red plaid skirt and a loose white sweater, often observing the rear seat through the rearview mirror.

"The premise of going out to earn credits is to ensure safety." She took out a thermos cup filled with hot water and a few tea bags from the seat next to her, and asked Ye Sheng to hand them over to the back row: "Drink some tea at night, you can refresh yourself." “

On a dark, damp and cold rainy night, it is undoubtedly the most timely pleasure to be able to drink such a warm cup of hot tea, although it does not conform to the cumbersome etiquette of the R Ben tea ceremony.

Looking at the fact that his name was even written in Japanese on this thermos cup, Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but be a little stunned, feeling that although he was the "emperor" among the blood of the White King and had an absolute advantage in force, he was taken care of by the two of them who were students of the same level?

"I heard that after completing an 'A' level internship assignment, you can add a lot of GPA, a GPA of 4.0, a scholarship of tens of thousands of dollars, and the opportunity to have afternoon tea with the principal."

As if thinking that Yuan Zhisheng's silence was due to the sudden interruption of the beautiful college summer vacation, Ye Sheng continued: "When I officially join the executive department, the initial commissioner rating can also be higher. ”

"Anyway, with the friendship of the same group on a mission, when I travel to Tokyo with Aki next year, you have to treat him to the east!"

It is customary for new students to participate in an Operations in the Executive Department in their first year of school, allowing them to see first-hand the battlefield against dragons or Deadpool. The executive department also took the opportunity to inspect the psychological quality of the new students.

Within the scope of the academy, the vice principal has a perennial precept to suppress the spirit of speech, and the students are unable to exercise, so they also need to go out to practice to grasp the effect of their own speech.

However, considering that there are as many as three or four hundred new students every year, there are usually not so many suitable tasks, so many students can only dig up the existing dragon ruins and visit the magnificent creations of dragons rich in literature and art.

There's really nothing to arrange, it's okay to go to the Chicago Zoo as a volunteer to take care of the crocodile pond and study the evolutionary history of reptiles by the way, which is considered to have completed the annual internship course.

However, those small fights, which are mainly carried out by the official commissioner of the Executive Department, can they be at the same level compared to the current operation to detect and revive high-level dragons?

No one really thinks that dragon slaying is fun and bloody, right? These two guys, how simple was the internship task last year, haven't you seen life and death at all?

What else is added to the credit and grade points, this is not important at all in the Kassel Academy, which is actually a military institution, only strength is important...... What other grade points do strong people care about?

People who have been to Kassel for further study often say that the college is a paradise of neuroses, where there are many strange flowers that are not seen on weekdays, but now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Yuan Zhisheng's brows furrowed, and he vomited wildly in his heart, always feeling that he was a little out of place in this action group.

He recalled the photo of the Shikatori Shrine in the wallet he was carrying, and hesitated for a moment: "...... Naturally, it will be warmly entertained...... But let's complete this mission safely first. ”

"As the leader of this mission, I also have something to remind you both." Yuan Zhisheng said solemnly: "In the next formal exploration process, don't stay too far away from me, otherwise it will be difficult for me to protect everyone." ”

……

After some more time, the Hummer turned off the elevated road and drove smoothly along the quiet boulevard.

The rain was pouring down, and the group of three looked out through the car window, and a lake near the villa area on the outskirts of the city was hidden in the rain at the end of the road.

This is reminiscent of the "Fairy Sea", a clear lake near the Academy, named after the lake goblins in Celtic mythology who gave King Arthur the Broken Steel Sword, and the tall buildings of the business district beyond, which resemble the lush redwood forests surrounding Kassel.

While drinking tea, Gen Zhisheng took the time to send a few messages back to his father Tachibana Masamune, as well as Sakura, Crow, and Yaksha, saying that he would bring them some local specialties after this mission was over.

It was at this time that the trio's mobile phones vibrated at the same time, which was the new mission information sent by Norma, including the execution plan carefully designed by Professor Schneider.

In the perception of the Kassel Academy, there has never been a resurgence event in the territory of R, and there are no relics of dragon civilization, and it is the most "clean" region in the world, and there is no dragon activity at all.

Therefore, although Yuan Zhisheng easily killed several high-risk hybrids that had gone out of control in last year's internship mission, and he had quite a lot of combat experience, the academy still gave advice in every possible way and informed the group of many precautions.

Taking this opportunity, he also deliberately emphasized the terrifying nature of high-level dragons to Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki: "Almost all high-level dragons are proficient in alchemy, that is, the science of the dragon clan, and there are alchemy items hidden in the cemetery and hatchery......"

"In addition, high-level dragon bloodlines can keenly detect hostile people around them, and once they find a target, even if they are far away, they should not show obvious emotions during the process of probing."

"'Speech and Spirituality II.' mentioned that high-level dragons usually master two or more high-level speech spirits, and can also use incomplete speech spirit emperors to cause psychic shock to low-level dragons and half-bloods, and achieve the effect of temporarily controlling the enemy......"

"What's more, under the influence of the Emperor of Words, the revived ancient species can summon nearby Deadpool and Dragon subspecies and make them their own army." Aki Aki, who majored in dragon history, began to slow down the car, adding:

"In the historical event known as 'Summer Mourning', the Kassel Manor, the headquarters of the Secret Party, was attacked by the dragons at night, and a dragon-level enemy infiltrated the manor, and the Deadpool group summoned by the dragons surrounded them from the outside, and Lionheart fell into a ...... to the death."

"Later scholars generally believed that if they hadn't been caught between the dragons and Deadpools, and had only faced the original species alone, the Lionheart would not have been wiped out, and the headmaster would have survived, and the history of mankind would have changed accordingly."

"Considering the danger of the Deadpool legion, the first step of this mission is to search the city for hidden places where dragons and Deadpool may be hidden." Ye Sheng said, "If I were that dragon, the most likely place to hide would be the bottom of the lake. ”

"Ye Sheng's spirit is a 'snake' with serial number 18, which can probe the surrounding environment from a distance through electrical signal transmission." Aki Ketoku kept the Hummer at a near-normal walking speed, drove around the lake on the side, and took the initiative to introduce: "As for my speech, it is the 'silence' of No. 54. ”

Generally speaking, only the student's tutor and the principal have access to the student's speech and spirit files, but in order to carry out the mission, the two are not hesitant to reveal their biggest secrets.

Are they all auxiliary spirits? Yuan Zhisheng was not surprised, because he had already seen that the two people in the same group obviously had little experience in fighting.

The silence of the spirit can filter or eliminate all the sounds in the field, which can be used for latent and covert communication, which is equivalent to the sound version of the "dark light", in addition to the perfect restraint of the "scythe", it can also cover the sound of the gun, which is a good assassination of the spirit of speech.

If it can be superimposed with the optical invisible spirit of the realm, this is an almost invincible rhythm, no matter how fierce your own attack is, the enemy will not be able to find the location of the target.

However, according to Gen Zhisheng's knowledge, in the score of the battlefield survival class, Jiu De Aki is mainly good at fighting weapons such as daggers, rather than firearms, long-range weapons, on the contrary, Ye Sheng once used a submachine gun to take down a large number of enemies in a day of freedom.

Thinking in his heart, he hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to speak: "My words are actually useless. It's called 'Amaterasu', and it has the effect of glowing slightly, encouraging the companions around you, and if it's daytime, it can replenish some energy like a solar recharge. ”

This is naturally a lie of Yuan Zhisheng, and he keeps his high-risk spirit kingship secret, but the chicken rib bonus effect of "Amaterasu" is not fake:

As a blood-derived mark that can only be awakened by the "Imperial Blood", it should theoretically have amazing abilities, but unfortunately, perhaps because the gender does not match the legendary "Anamerasu", it is not useful on his body.

And the owner of this generation of "Tsukiyomimi", Uesugi Eri, can indeed be blessed by the ancient god Tsukiyomizun, and under the moonlight, the power of the words released is multiplied.

Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki expressed great pity in their hearts for Yuan Zhisheng, one of the strongest students of Level 03, who awakened such a waste spirit that was not recorded in the textbook, but Ye Sheng among them could no longer comfort him, because he was on the way to release the Spirit Snake.

"Snake" is Ye Sheng's speech and spiritual ability, and it is also Ye Sheng's helper. Usually they inhabit the depths of Ye Sheng's mind and lie dormant, and only Ye Sheng can wake them up. Like thousands of scouts, exploring the surrounding situation for Ye Sheng.

In the scientific interpretation, "snakes" are a kind of biological electricity, and in the understanding of dragons, they are slaves who have been subjugated by Ye Sheng.

In a low-resistance environment, such as the current rainstorm weather and the inside of the water body of the lake on the side, the "snake" will be many times stronger, and nearly half of the lake's domain is under Ye Sheng's surveillance.

Ye Sheng's consciousness followed the "snake" into every crevice under the water, all the way down, and then down, Ye Sheng opened his eyes, and there was a pale golden shimmer flowing from the bottom of his eyes.

He observes the world with the eyes of a "snake", the world is composed of countless tiny pipes, which meet and separate, extending infinitely, and his "snake" passes through the pipes, and everywhere he goes, it is a desperate, dead gray world.

During the exploration of this water, Ye Sheng's body was trembling slightly, his face was dead gray, his heart rate dropped to thirty beats per minute, he was as fragile as a baby, if it weren't for the rainstorm environment that allowed him not to dive into the water, I am afraid that he would encounter a lot of danger.

As Aki slowly drove the Hummer around the lake, Gen Zhisheng took out two alchemy ancient knives from his suitcase, "Fierce Night in the Spider Mountain" and "Boy Che Angang", and his sense of hearing and smell was improved to the extreme, ready to deal with enemies who might be stimulated by the "snake" to rush to the lake.

The dragon's blood was running through his body, making his five senses several times or even dozens of times more sensitive than that of humans, enough to detect the slightest movement in the vicinity under the interference of the torrential rain.

Nearly an hour passed, and Ye Sheng, who had turned on the spirit of speech several times and interrupted his rest to recover due to exhaustion, finally ended this investigation.

The reason why it took so long was because the Serpent was best at searching for conductive metal-like objects, specifically targeting dragon ruins that were often built with heavy bronze use, rather than monitoring creatures in dark bodies of water through a narrow field of vision.

"There are no monsters such as dragons and Deadpools, only some common grass carp, carp, crucian carp and the like, and the activities and behaviors of fish are relatively regular, so it can be seen that they have not felt the spiritual pressure of the dragon clan recently."

Ye Sheng drank the tea in the thermos cup marked with his name in one gulp, felt his body warm, and reported: "It seems that the dragons have disappeared since last night, and they are not secretly hiding in this water area to give birth to dragon bodies, which should be regarded as a good thing." ”

"But it also means it's more likely that dragons are hiding in urban areas." Yuan Zhisheng reminded: "This is a much more complicated place than the bottom of the lake where there are no obstacles, and it is almost impossible to find the traces of the other party with the Spirit Snake. ”

"A new document from Norma, a confidential file of the secret party's operations on the ancient species, and a brief report on past dragon slaying missions." Jiu De Yaji handed Ye Sheng some food to restore his strength, and waved his vibrating mobile phone: "It should be the order issued by the executive department after the news just now was reported." ”

"Is this to draw inspiration from these documents and guess the likely tendencies of the dragons?" Ye Sheng smiled slightly: "But for novices like me and Aki, most of them can't come up with any ideas, so they can only be read as stories." ”

The mission report of the secret party to slay the dragon? Knowing that this was a secret document that the Eight Snake Families had never touched, Yuan Zhisheng was also shocked in his heart, and then read it carefully.

According to the decryption of documents, in the past hundred years, according to the statistics of the secret party, the high-level dragons known to have recovered, in addition to the suspected dragon king-level targets and the unopened top-secret archives, there are a total of four sub-generations and thirty-seven three-generation species, with an average of more than one every two years.

In other words, although this mission is only marked as A-level, it can be regarded as a once-in-a-few dragon slaying event, with a significant impact, and once it spreads, it will definitely attract the attention of global hybrid forces.

And the last three-generation dragon species discovered by the secret party involved an S-class mission in southern Africa more than three years ago.

After the target is revived, it should also be in a state where the memory is not complete, hiding in the golden vein, using gold as food, relying on various manifestations to become the god of wealth worshiped by the local natives, and the musculoskeletal body is permeated with gold elements.

Due to eating too much gold, the dragons significantly reduced their mobility due to excessive weight and became clumsy, but when they were discovered by the Enforcement Department and mobilized the elites of several nearby branches to besiege them, they were hit on the spot by a special alchemy missile made by the Equipment Department, and their bodies were blown apart, and the fragments looked like pure gold.

Rao is like this, before dying, the dragon still forcibly awakened his complete memory, the bloodline returned to its peak, and released a very powerful high-level spirit "Dividing Mountain", which caused a 6.5 magnitude earthquake and landslide, causing the death of dozens of B-level and A-level commissioners.

Then, the local natives, who had several half-breeds, angrily captured the remaining commissioners of the Enforcement Department, believing that the outsiders had killed the gods, and demanded compensation, and if they could not compensate for a new golden drakemon, they would hang the Enforcement personnel in cages until they died, and it was rumored that they could be used to stuff sausages or something......

In order to cover up the incident and resolve the conflict peacefully, the Academy minted a model of a drake from five tons of gold and gave it to the natives in exchange for the captured commissioners.

To this day, the golden statue still stands deep in the jungles of southern Africa, and the United States military's spy satellites have mistaken it for a missile launcher several times.

Another Dragon Resurgence Event...... In fact, the dragons did not recover at all, because the secret party discovered that when Switzerland was drilling through the underground tunnels in the Alps, the giant tunnel drilling rig was abrasively damaged by a spherical rock with a special texture in the rock formation, and this stone, which was as hard as a diamond, was actually an egg of a high-order dragon.

It's hard to imagine how dragons could place their eggs hundreds of meters underground, with hundreds of millions of years of hard rock layers and few cracks, not even the claws of dragons or any alchemy tools to dig out their way.

Unaware of the preciousness of the dragon egg, the contractor blasted the rock that stood in the way, shattering most of the egg, and the dragon embryo died tragically before it could be forcibly resuscitated.

This is also one of the few cases where the high-level dragons have been successfully wiped out, but the secret party did not provide any assistance at all, it was completely a coincidence of chance.

After much research through the Gattuso family's channel, the mutilated dragon egg was brought back to the academy after much research, and it was determined that the egg should have originated from a third-generation species of the King of the Earth and Mountain faction, and that the dragons had used some undocumented high-level spirit to hide the eggs.

"Why do you feel that the dragons in this series have a very strange way of behaving and are all strange?" Thinking of the dragon king Attila in the history class of the dragon clan, Yuan Zhisheng thought secretly in his heart, continued to look through the secret files from earlier, and noticed some great things.

For example, the attack on Pearl Harbor in World War II awakened several sleeping dragons on nearby islands, and after the secret party cleared them, they discovered hundreds of dragon tombs hidden in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Especially in the Marshall Islands, where a large number of dragon relics of the King of the Sea and Water lineage have been discovered, and there is even an ancient dragon hatchery, there is no doubt that there should be one or more secondary species here that are giving birth to huge dragon bodies.

In order to eliminate the major threat here, under the influence of the secret party and the Henkel family, the United States established the Pacific test site in the Marshall Islands from 1946 to 1958, during which the US military tested a total of 67 nuclear bombs on the islands.

One of them, an ancient dragon with a length of nearly 100 meters, died under the nuclear explosion of the 15 million tons equivalent of the Cheer Castle.

In the follow-up, there was also a sub-breed who disguised himself as a human and wanted to blend in with the U.S. military to take revenge, suspected to be the brother of the former, and was killed by powerful S-class hybrids such as Angers and Beowulf.

"The secret party still has such a record...... It was so violent that the revived ancient dragon was buried. ”

Seeing the series of dragon kill records during this time, Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but think of the two atomic bombs that ended the ambitions of the Eight Families of Snake Qi during World War II, knowing that this might be a reminder from the academy to him, the young master of the Yuan family.

Warn me that no matter how rapidly this family develops, it cannot be compared with the secret party that controls a large number of nuclear weapons and secretly controls some military forces in Europe and the United States.

You know, several experts who made the world's first atomic bomb are still working in the equipment department of the Kassel Academy, and after so many years of research, who knows what terrifying weapons have been created?

But speaking of which, with this kind of nuclear explosion, maybe you can also completely destroy the divine burial place in the depths of Takamagahara and cut off the source of evil spirits?

……

"No traces of dragons have been found in the lake, and the next action is to go to the site of a mission-related 'supernatural event' to conduct on-site investigation."

After some time, Norma sent a message with a new directive from the Enforcement Department: "According to the known intelligence analysis, there have been a lot of Deadpools in that location, and it needs to be focused on, find out the details, and install some monitoring equipment." ”

"In addition, we should focus on the Bronze and Fire Kings in the archival records, and after many analyses, the high-level dragons of this series should be more inclined to awaken when the water element is abundant, because it can mask the fire element turbulence that spontaneously forms when they recover."

"Understood." The group stopped checking the dragon slaying records and replied as they prepared for the next stage of the mission, the paddy field near the No. 10 viaduct on the outskirts of the city.

"In addition, your follow-up support, a 'decapitator squad' composed of veteran executives, has officially arrived." A new message appeared on the phone, informing the trio that the pressure on the task was about to be greatly reduced.

"The Decapitator Squad?" Knowing the meaning of this term, Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

The so-called decapitators are the kind of commissioners with the strongest individual combat skills, and they are often the ones who come forward to execute those who have been controlled by the dragon's blood and cannot be saved.

A heavily armed team of decapitators is expected to handle even the very high-risk missions of the S-Class, second only to the S-Class Enforcers on the grey list whose names and mission records have been erased.

Due to the great side effects of the Yanling Throne, the fledgling Yuan Zhisheng, after seeing a large number of tragic dragon slaying records, did not feel that he could confront such a high-end combat power, especially when the opponent's equipment was full.

However, it also means that, as students, the safety of the three-person group is more guaranteed, and there is no need to risk the front.

And when Yuan Zhisheng held this idea and left with Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki, in the lake that had been searched, a pair of red golden dragon pupils suddenly opened, illuminating the darkness deep under the water, and a hideous iron mask could be vaguely seen.

Around this hidden dragon, dense white silk threads are wrapping around it, forming a lonely cocoon, and judging from the size of the cocoon, it is clear that the dragon is not giving birth to a huge body, but rather a different kind of transformation.

Around the cocoon, which was getting smaller and smaller, and finally only slightly larger than a person, the temperature of the water body quietly rose by more than a dozen degrees, and many small bubbles appeared, but they were never observed under the cover of a strange field.

……

At the same time, in the central control room of the Kassel Academy, Professor Schneider's eyes rested on an open page, which was the website of the local evening newspaper in the coastal town, and today's front page headline "Vicious traffic accident on a rainy night, vehicle wreckage mysteriously moved".

The reporters at the scene told a strange story, an inconclusive accident, the police found an abandoned Maybach sedan, the front of the car downward, plunged into the rain-soaked paddy field, the body of the car has a large number of inexplicable damage.

The paddy fields are almost four kilometres away from the nearest road, and no ruts have been found nearby. In the end, the experts explained that a small, high-intensity tornado occurred during the stormy weather, blowing the Maybach from the elevated road to paddy fields several kilometers away.

This "supernatural event" is exactly the target of the three-person team's next exploration, after exploring the spot and leaving monitoring instruments, Maybach's original passengers, Chu Zihang's family who live in the "Peacock Mansion" in the lakeside villa area of Fangcai, will also have to be interviewed by the team tomorrow morning.

"The three-person team of Group A composed of students is responsible for the preliminary exploration work, and the seven-member team of decapitators in Group B, who is transferred from the caretaker of the Dragon Tomb in the XZ area, is the main force responsible for slaying dragons."

However, next to Schneider, Professor Manstein asked dissatisfiedly: "But what is going on with this group C?" A key person in charge of protecting the local area? Who is this guy named Lu Mingfei, and why is he so restrained by the valuable manpower of the Executive Department? ”
