Chapter 33: The Lower Cave
"I heard from the headmaster that he sent an elite team, but I never expected it to be the three of you." Mance frowned, his proud protΓ©gΓ© was trapped underground, and he was already very worried about it, and then he saw that the academy sent ......
"The student council president has a terrible grade point." Mance pointed at Caesar, and then looked at Chu Zihang: "The violent madness of the Lionheart." The latter nodded slightly.
"There's also a rookie 'S' class." Mance let out a light breath, "I really don't understand why the headmaster sent you here. β
"Senior brother, how do I feel that this little old man is especially targeting the three of us." Lu Mingfei lowered his head and muttered, "Who is he?" β
"Mance. Professor Rundstedt, the main professor of design for the magic machine, you should be meeting him for the first time. β
Lu Mingfei stood still, looking back and forth at the little old man in front of him.
This was really the first time he had seen this professor, in various senses, in his previous life, he also enrolled in this professor's class, but he did not see him, and later became the president of the student union and saw the list of executives of the 'Kuimen Plan' to know that they were all buried under the Three Gorges.
was suddenly tightened, and Lu Mingfei came back to his senses, only to find that he had been covered with a steel rope.
"We must communicate more frequently, report safety at any time, and listen to the orders of the command." Mance was still babbling, "Otherwise, if the mission is successful, you will climb up on your own." β
"What if the mission fails?" Lu Mingfei looked harmless: "Will anyone save us?" β
Mance was stunned: "It should be, but if you can't get up even if you go down, I guess you'll have to let the headmaster go out in person." β
Although he was not accustomed to the style of the two presidents, Mance had to admit that their bloodlines were among the best in the entire college.
"Don't worry, the school has a strategy to ensure that the body comes home, and if I remember correctly, it should be mailed to your home." Caesar patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder and gave a thumbs up.
"Hey Boss, don't say such unlucky things before going down to the cave." Lu Mingfei hurriedly stopped.
"Go down to the cave, how do I remember the meaning of robbing the tomb...... It feels a little awkward. Chu Zihang said.
Lu Mingfei glanced at Chu Zihang, at this time, the senior brother had not yet become the wooden man in Japan who had a straight face and rarely gossiped, and it looked quite unharmonious, like a killer who was sharpening his knife and telling him a cold joke after tying up the target.
"We've been robbing tombs all the time." Mance smiled and clapped his hands: "You guys will start moving in three minutes." β
β¦β¦
At the end of the cave, a huge bronze door stands majestically in front of the three people, and the engraved dragons and phoenixes on it dance to outline a picture.
The mask of the living spirit hangs in the center of the door, but it is completely different from the photo taken by Ye Sheng, the mask here is engraved with various beasts, they seem to be prostrate under the throne, guarding the living spirit in the center.
"Looks like no one from the academy has been exploring this place since." Caesar looked at the scene in front of him, took out a glass tube containing the bright red liquid from his bag, opened it, and poured it into the slit of the mask.
"I'll do it according to the plan." Chu Zihang watched the bronze gate rumble open, and pressed his hand on his blade: "Act separately." β
"Don't order me, I'm the leader of the group." Caesar was a little angry.
"Lu Mingfei has already entered, and you, as the team leader, are still chattering here." The corners of Chu Zihang's mouth were slightly raised, and in Caesar's opinion, he was already mocking him.
It's a pity that before he could fight back, Chu Zihang's figure disappeared into the dust inside the door.
"Hey, wait for me."
β¦β¦
The three of them went their separate ways, which was the conclusion reached by the previous discussions on the plane.
The person who met Jiu De Aki and Ye Sheng was responsible for dragging the two of them, and the remaining two were responsible for finding the death metal that the principal said.
Inside the bronze gate, walking through the dark tunnel, Lu Mingfei saw those inverted cones hanging in the air, shining and shining, he quickened his pace, made sure that he had gotten rid of Caesar and the two, and then relaxed and observed the surroundings.
Caesar and Chu Zihang couldn't be sharper anymore, if they saw their strange behavior, they would definitely be suspicious.
If Lu Mingfei guessed correctly, there should be something hidden here, and his intuition has always been sharp.
The original empty square had been transformed into a labyrinth after the mechanism was activated, which gave Lu Mingfei a lot of convenience to a certain extent, and he tried his best to lower his steps, holding his hand on the dagger, and looking around.
Turning the corner, Lu Mingfei paused, pulled out the dagger, and pointed straight at the opposite side.
A few meters away from him, a black mist floated in the air, Lu Ming couldn't be sure that it was not a normal thing, under the reflection of the cone above, the road of the entire labyrinth was clearly illuminated, but he just couldn't see what existed in the black fog.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, this may be the effect of which high-level spirit of speech, Lu Ming is not cautious approaching, he is confident that no matter what the other party is, he can avoid its attack at the first time.
Now he is a veritable S-class, and there are very few students in the academy who have obtained the S-level bloodline evaluation, if you count the secret party period, it can be said that it is a string of dazzling names, Menek. Cassel, Silverwing Charlotte, and Ange, who is hated by countless people and called a son of a bitch, this group of people can pick any one, and I'm afraid they can also fight with the Dragon King.
I'm in that category now.
The distance is gradually approaching, and the sound of rustling comes from the black mist, Lu Mingfei mentions his spirit, is it going to let go? Is it a physical attack or a chemical attack? Or is it just the spirit of words?
The boy flew the dagger directly with his hand, and with the other hand, he touched the matching gun on his waist, the large-caliber Walter PPK pistol, the handsome one that 007 carried with him, but let the equipment department change it, Lu Mingfei was deeply impressed, because someone had fooled him when he was still a little white rabbit with this gun, and he almost ejected himself and flew out.
There was a loud bang, and the high temperature of the muzzle of the gun was transmitted along the body of the gun to the boy's palm, but he did not hesitate, and fired several shots in succession, and the huge recoil even made his steps a little erratic.
There were a few crisp muffled sounds, Lu Mingfei's eyes narrowed slightly, the sound just now was tantamount to a stone hitting steel, I am afraid that there will be no trace left. I can gently block the bullets that are comparable to the cannons, and I'm afraid that the other side is ......
Lu Mingfei was just about to touch the C4 bomb, a mask fell out of the black mist, reflecting the unique luster of bronze, standing on the ground, staring at Lu Mingfei with empty eyes, the wolf's fang-like sharp teeth made it look quite hideous.
"It's ...... Living souls? Lu Mingfei was stunned, this is exactly the same thing that was attached to the bronze wall just now, but how could this stand on the ground?
Lu Mingfei looked up at the black mist that still existed, walked around the bronze mask, and stretched the pistol inside, but was ruthlessly rejected as if it had hit a wall.
Turning to look back, the boy realized that his back road had disappeared, and a wall had been erected behind him at some point, which was made of the 'death metal' in the headmaster's mouth, and he should not be able to break it.
So......
"Do I have to rely on you?" Lu Mingfei looked at the dark-eyed mask on the ground and raised his eyebrows.
He took the knife from his waist and slashed his palm, dripping blood exactly onto the mask's raised forehead.
The air slowly circulated, Lu Mingfei looked at the black mist in front of him, and when he sent the gun in again, the latter did not refuse, but instead sent out a huge attraction, which Lu Mingfei did not expect, he immediately let go of his hand to avoid being involved.
The gun disappeared without a trace, Lu Mingfei stared at the scene in front of him, smiled silently, he turned on the microphone of the headset: "Report headquarters, report headquarters, this is Lu Mingfei, I have lost contact with Caesar and Chu Zihang, and now I have found the door to the foundry and applied for exploration." β
With that, he took off the headset and threw it at his feet and crushed it with the soles of his shoes.
He didn't want anyone to know about the next trip, and when the time came, he would report that the headset was broken when he passed through the matrix, and they might ask, but Lu Mingfei had already prepared his words.
Why aren't other people's broken?
- I don't know, I'm not on the same matrix as them, maybe it's aimed at me. (Stalls)
After fantasizing about Professor Mance's angry but helpless expression, Lu Mingfei snickered twice and put the weapon back in its place.
The hem of the black trench coat in the executive department was blown by the warm wind, and the boy stepped into the black fog step by step under the colorful illumination above.
β¦β¦
"Professor Mance reports that we have lost contact with Lu Mingfei." In the command room of the executive department, Schneider frowned.
"It's the same style as Chu Zihang." Ange smiled: "They are high school brothers, it seems that there is a problem with the education method of Shilan High School. β
"Headmaster, that's not the point." Schneider struggled to calm down: "Aren't you worried about him?" β
"At his age, that guy Menek has been hunting dragons all over the world, and he is also S-class, where is Lu Mingfei?" Ange took a sip from his wine glass, and in his hand was a bottle of freshly opened red wine and a small bucket of ice: "I'm not worried about him for this little thing." β
"It sounds like the headmaster is very comfortable with his pedigree." Schneider took a piece of ice from the ice bucket and said: "The initial assessment bloodline does not represent the real ability, and it is not for nothing that I have been demoted over the years. β
"Do you think Fingal is really just an F-class?" Ange tilted his head sideways, his face slightly drunk, and smiled.
"Ugh." Schneider is clearly reluctant to continue talking about this issue.
"Report to the headquarters, report to the headquarters, Chu Zihang and I can't contact Lu Mingfei anymore." Caesar's voice suddenly rang out: "Also, a black mist has appeared in front of us, and it has sealed our path. β
Chu Zihang, who was assembling the detonator, answered: "We were about to try to destroy it with explosives, by the way, Caesar, retreat a little." β
"Black Mist?" The vice principal, who was drinking red wine on the Taishi chair, suddenly sat up: "Send me a photo to see." β
"Yes."
Half a minute later, a photo was uploaded to the big screen of the executive department, and the vice principal glanced at it twice, then sat on the Taishi chair, put his feet together, and drank red wine.
"Any idea?" Ange looked at him like this and asked in a low voice.
"It's supposed to be a teleportation matrix, but there are no living spirits or anything like that?"
"No ......" Caesar's words were interrupted with a bang, as if a tank was firing a cannon, and the three people in the executive department were instantly alerted, and Schneider grabbed the microphone: "Caesar? Caesar? What happened? β
"Chu Zihang, are you insane? Doesn't it say that more than 100 grams of explosives must be approved before they can be used? And why didn't you tell me before you detonated? A Chinese roar with a hint of Tianjin emphasis resounded in the channel, like a shrew scolding the street.
"As I just said, if you don't object to me, I should agree." Chu Zihang covered his ears and replied to Caesar's roar quite methodically: "Besides, I only used thirty grams of explosives, which shouldn't cause any harm to you and me, who are about a distance away." β
"You ......" Caesar was about to continue his seizure, but saw a mask roll out of the black mist.
"But...... Looks like we've found the living. Caesar looked like a rough man, but he was so careful that he could see at once that it was exactly the same thing that had just been attached to the wall.
"It seems that it is right to blow up with explosives." Chu Zihang looked at the mask and nodded slightly.
Seeing Chu Zihang's indifferent look, Caesar was annoyed, but he tried not to lose his generosity as the team leader, so he asked calmly, :
"So what do we do?"
They also had five glass tubes containing blood samples, which were intended to meet the emergency.
In this situation, Caesar is also hesitant to use a vial of blood to get the two of them through.
"Use it, although sometimes the blood of the half-breed can be opened, but if it can't be opened, it will drain your blood, you two little cubs don't be able to." Ange said, "If the blood is not enough, we can send it, but our dragon-slaying elite are few and far between, and I don't want either of you to die here." After using it, it will emit a gravitational pull and transform into a teleportation matrix, just walk in. β
Chu Zihang squinted at Caesar, who was about to cut off his palm: "Just want to prove yourself?" β
"What does it mean to prove yourself? Do I still need to do this kind of thing? Caesar raised his eyebrows, hiding the embarrassment of his mind being exposed: "I just want to save some blood samples if I can." β
"We've got enough of them." Chu Zihang pondered for a moment: "However, what should Lu Mingfei do over there?" He didn't take a blood sample when he was separated from us, and he wouldn't be trapped in the labyrinth. β
"Don't worry, Lu Mingfei has already applied to enter, about twenty minutes ago." Ange added: "He has a way to get in, you don't have to worry about him." β
"What, he went in before us." Caesar looked at the black mist that emitted a huge gravitational pull, his pupils shook, and the sense of victory and defeat made him a little unacceptable.
"He seems to be more rebellious than you." Hearing the surprise in Caesar's tone, Ange smiled.
"Quick, Chu Zihang, we can't let him preempt us, if it is sent back to the school and that the two presidents are being taken by the new students to do the task, I would rather go home and farm." Caesar quickly gathered his things and plunged headlong into the black mist.
Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment, and then followed.
The call channel fell silent again.
β¦β¦
"Really, a bunch of energetic kids." Ange listened to the news in the channel, and the corners of his mouth raised.
"They still need to be polished."
"Yes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, but it can't all rely on them, we old guys can give them a little bit of responsibility." Ange turned his head to look at Schneider with a little determination in his eyes:
"We're going to start preparing for the Kuimen plan, and we must get ahead of them."
