Chapter 5: Monsters Under the Ice
Unlike the institution that overrides any other political entity in the Human Empire in the name of the Emperor, the Inquisition of the Kassel Academy is simply a hall for interrogation, and even maintains a fairly bright artistic style in terms of decoration, unlike the Empire, which is dark and depressing.
Lu Mingfei and Fingal were "escorted" into the hall by Beowulf's squad, and walked down the red carpet to stand in the central wooden grating of the defendant, the bronze heavy alchemy shackles clasping their wrists, and the long metal chains resembling "dragon ropes" bound their upper bodies tightly for fear that they would make a violent act of resistance.
During this time, the laser-aiming red dots of the HK416 rifles in the hands of each member of the squad never moved away from the bodies of the two men.
Fingal wondered why Lu Mingfei didn't resist, afraid of being beaten into a sieve by them? Of course, that's impossible, the dragon scale armor in his "Bronze Throne" state is estimated to be able to carry the so-called "heavy firepower" to disperse this group of people in person, not to mention Lu Mingfei's extreme speed that can disappear in place in an instant, I'm afraid that the bullets of the task force will be subdued by him before they are discharged.
"Since you are the leader of the Legion, violence and bloodbath should not be your only way of doing thingsβor think rationally and calmly before you do so."
Lu Mingfei remembered every golden and jade good word told by His Majesty the Emperor, and obeyed the practice. After overcoming the black anger, Lu Mingfei was able to control his emotions very subtly, so he rarely did not get angry when he heard that the elders of the secret party were going to arrest him...... Of course, if they hurt other innocent people, including children from Japan, someone has to accept the punishment for violence.
After the Beowulf family team put the two men on trial, they quickly stepped away vigilantly until the heavy door of the courtroom was slammed shut.
"It's a little cold in here."
Fingal grumbled, and looked around, there were only two people in the entire courtroom, he and Lu Mingfei, and the observer seats on the left and right sides, which could accommodate nearly a thousand people, were empty, including the high platform seats that should have been presided over by the judge/presiding judge.
Just as he wondered if there were dozens of bombs waiting to blow them up into the sky, the quaint sound of the bell tower in the distance entered the hall, and at the same time, the sound of a machine at work sounded in the empty courtroom.
The projection equipment hanging on the ceiling cast blue light one after another, generating holographic projections on the trial table, jury, litigation table and other seats, Lu Mingfei glanced at it simply, except for Elder Beowulf and several school directors, the others were the secret party veterans who had only met once when they visited the seriously injured principal.
The highly agile mind turns over the impressions of the relevant materials that have been read in the mind, and quickly connects these old faces with each file on the materials.
"I'm sorry, but given the extreme danger you may have, we have to do this to keep you safe as a senator." King Solomon, the most prestigious senator in the secret party who sat in the presiding judge's seat, spoke, and his words were conveyed by a megaphone behind him.
"At the same time, I am glad that the two of us did not arrest and resist, which caused unnecessary bloodshed, which made many of us think that the two of us have the right to respond to the accusations against you, so this pre-trial hearing process has been established."
Lu Mingfei nodded in recognition of them, just like the Weepers Wargroup after the Badab War, if there was no good judge to take the lead, there was a multifaceted lobbying of the state religion and the start-up group Salamander, with the style of the Inquisition, where would there be any redundant trial process, I am afraid that the Weepers Wargroup would be directly judged as a renegade wargroup like the Blackheart Huron's Starry Sky Claw Warband, and everyone from Astarte to the servants of the ships would be ruthlessly executed.
But unlike then, he was standing here more of a negotiation game with his "peers", and he wasn't really worried about the future of himself and his legion.
"Can you answer my question before we begin?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Allowed." King Solomon nodded.
"Are the people who have been implicated other than me and Fingal harmed?"
There was a brief silence in the hall, and a moment later King Solomon's reply came from the loudspeaker:
"Former A-level students Chu Zihang, Caesar. Gattuso is peacefully accepting the recall of the Kassel Academy, and the Japanese student Gen Zhinu who entered the academy through unauthorized information and joined you is now missing; Thirty-seven students from the Japanese branch who came to study and have been serving your club were briefly detained, and they were not harmed. β
Lu Mingfei nodded, it seems that this group of secret party elders are much gentler than they imagined.
"Then you can get started." He motioned for King Solomon projection on the high platform, as if he were the presiding judge of the judgment and not the one to be tried.
"I declare this hearing open," said King Solomon, who did not care about this, and went straight to the point. Gattuso provided information and evidence, and the investigation and trial team led by Veterans Beowulf, a member of the secret party, charged Lu Mingfei, a former S-class student, with various serious violations of the rules of the Kassel Academy and even the "Abrahamic Blood Contract" after entering the school. β
Frost? Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows, and his gaze swept to the projection on the litigation table on the right, and the other party shivered as if he was really swept by his gaze, and the holographic projection became a little blurry because of this.
This guy has become dishonest again? Wouldn't that be pretty good in Italy?
"First of all, the first accusation is that when President Angers was seriously injured, you secretly used the academy's intelligent system to serve you, and misappropriated the academy's assets and authority to purchase weapons of mass destruction. Is this allegation true? β
"It's true." Lu Mingfei nodded in acknowledgement.
"That'...... What are you buying them for? Where are they stored by you now? King Solomon's voice was visibly tense, the two nuclear warheads in the investigation had been transported through the Equipment Department, and the madmen were even proud to say that they had helped assemble the nuclear bombs on some "GUNDAM......
There are no records of their shipments, and it is likely that the two nuclear warheads are still in Kassel...... This remote meeting is not secure enough!
"Against a powerful enemy, but the tactics failed, the uranium element in the two nuclear bombs has completely decayed under the influence of the enemy, and now it has become two pieces of scrap metal," Lu Mingfei recounted calmly, "I can return them to you when I turn around, and if you want to hold me accountable for the money I embezzled, I can also make up for it." β
The patriarchs, including the physicists who drove the first atomic bombing, were in for a heated discussion, saying that "uranium had completely decayed."
"A powerful enemy? Is the other party the Dragon King? Then why didn't you report to the college? Elder Beowulf said coldly, "We don't know anything about it. β
"It's useless for you to know, it's useless other than to consume more lives." Lu Mingfei replied lightly, "You just need to know that the crisis has been resolved and the enemy has been destroyed. β
Beowulf clenched his fists, as the most iron-blooded and bloody dragon slayer of the secret party, he was now despised by a little kid who was less than twenty years old...... Even Ange didn't dare to treat himself with such an attitude!
"What's next boring charge?"
"The second accusation," I don't know why, King Solomon, who was the presiding officer of the trial, unconsciously followed Lu Mingfei's words," said Frost, a member of the secret party and a member of the board of directors of the Kassel Academy. Gattuso accuses you of committing serious acts of aggression against him, and that his life has been endangered by extreme violent tendencies. β
"Hmm." Lu Mingfei nodded.
ββ¦β¦ Why are you doing this? β
"Didn't he tell you?" Lu Mingfei responded calmly, "He wanted to threaten me to be controlled by him by hurting others, and I hate this threat the most, so under the hindrance of Principal Ange, I only gave him a small punishment." β
The "......" admitted so bluntly that King Solomon could not find a reason to continue asking.
"The third allegation is that there are a lot of doubts about your identity and ancestry......"
"Isn't Headmaster Ange waking up? Go and ask him. Anyway, I think I'm fairly safe as a human being of pure blood. β
Lu Mingfei didn't plan to reveal his true identity.
ββ¦β¦ Fourth accusation, how did you learn about the Doomsday hideout in Northern Siberia? And what did you do there? β
"Collect your own clues. After going there, the tricky trouble was solved. β
Lu Mingfei also did not intend to say the specifics - because there was no need for this.
"Fifth ......"
"There's no need to go on." Elder Beowulf's cold voice came from the loudspeaker, interrupting King Solomon, "Since you don't cherish this hearing, let's skip straight to the trial." Your personality is as arrogant and stubborn as Ange's. β
"First of all, I'm not here to be judged by you, I just want to discuss some things peacefully with you, and answer your questions by the way," Lu Mingfei replied lightly, his eyes dyed with blazing gold swept over Frost's holographic projection, "If you refuse, then I can talk to you in a less peaceful way." β
"As a word of caution, it's useless for me to hide."
β¦β¦
Frost's breathing became a little rapid, Lu Mingfei's eyes seemed to lock him through the screen, and the terrible oppressive force that was close to death when the school board was in the first place swept over again.
"Arrogant boy!" Beowulf slammed his fist into the table, and in his rage, he sensed a terrible threat, igniting his golden pupils and glaring at the calm face on the screen. Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a program on the screen that was activated.
Immediately after, a blinding red light lit up on the screen, and with the press of the button, something seemed to have completely awakened from the inquisition, freed from the shackles of ice, and ended a long slumber.
βOh ShitοΌ Someone secretly started the activation procedure! The head of the armament department shouted in horror, "The monsters are all in a killing state!" β
Some mysterious alchemy reagent is being injected into their bodies, and the temperature of the dragon's blood in their bodies is rising dramatically.
Monsters under the ice, sleeping old people...... Several of the core patriarchs refer to them/they in different ways, but their most primitive title is "Immortals".
It is a very sophisticated technology that encompasses genetics, medicine, chemistry, and alchemy, and its origins can be traced back to the dark Middle Ages, a time of intense resurgence of dragons, and the Secret Order, who had been crushed to the brink of extinction, managed to restore this dark technology from ancient texts, using it by transforming dragon slayers into tools of war that were about to lose their will by the dragon's blood.
In other words, to create a powerful Deadpool that can be controlled by humans.
In addition to inheriting the original spiritual ability, these immortals also possess a strong ability to recover, even if their hearts are pierced and their brains are damaged, they will not hinder their actions and attacks, relying on this technology, the secret party can launch a Jedi counterattack against the dragons.
And the group of immortals who have been resurrected now are the last and strongest ones, and they will be one of the deadliest weapons of the secret party, and they will face the black supreme who has been resurrected from the ancient slumber.
"Squad! Get both of them out of there immediately! Seal off the scene, and never let any immortal leave the courtroom! β
Beowulf yelled, informing the action team waiting outside the courtroom. Although he disliked and even hated the S-class student, he didn't want to kill him.
Originally, they were just used to suppress Lu Mingfei, after all, Lu Mingfei had a record of killing the "next generation" - the deep will of the immortals before their death was implanted with a strict dogma to prevent them from attacking indiscriminately and without limits, so they could control it and not kill Lu Mingfei and Fingal......
But after the activation program is activated, the injection of a certain alchemical mixture will cause the temperature of the dragon's blood in their bodies to rise and boil rapidly, and then the desire to kill will overwhelm the dogma in the deep will, and they will become uncontrollable, and after completely killing and tearing the target apart, they will go to find a new target, and the killing will never stop.
Now, these horrific weapons of killing are heading to the surface, heading for the two fresh "heat sources" closest to them in the courtroom halls.
"Wow! No way? You've really activated the monsters! The vice-principal, who was severely restricted in his freedom of movement and was now sitting on a couch to observe the meeting, let out his pompous exclamation, "Oh my God, my favorite student has been torn to shreds by monsters...... Don't do that kind of thing! β
