Chapter Seventy-Nine: Memories
What kind of person is that senior brother?
Fingal von Frings and his brother named Chen Mo first met on the first weekend of the new school year, even before he and EVA.
He was born in a German half-breed family, the small family is attached to the secret party under the tangled tree, enjoying the protection of the huge shade, and also allowing the branches to absorb nutrients, the concentration of dragon blood in the family is not high, but the identity of the half-breed still makes the family have high assets and a good life.
Fingal is an exception, the dragon's blood gene has been atavistic in his body, his outstanding bloodline has even touched the threshold of the highest rating of the secret party --- "S" class, he has become the family's extremely precious treasure and heir, but the guilt of the secret party is indeed justified, and the face of the secret party --- Kassel sent him a notice.
Naturally, he came to Kassel at the request of his family to study at the "elite" half-breed academy, but in fact his "ownership" had been transferred from Frings to the Secret Party.
The strange way of managing the academy was a little strange to Fingal, a German, who was forbidden to use the spirit of speech by the vice-principal's precepts, and the school rules were very strict on the abuse of bloodline ability.
However, it seems that the school is very confident that these students will abide by the rules, not only will students be allowed to go to Chicago on weekends, but they can also go home to rest during the winter and summer vacations, and the dragon slayer training base in the cloak of "university" seems to have really become a "university".
But this should be something that the management cares about, and students will only happily go to the bustling city to enjoy their weekends.
There are no shortage of hotels with a view of Lake Michigan, and the more expensive and scenic the hotel, the more likely it is that students in Kassel will meet their classmates.
Fingal met this senior brother for the first time in a hotel, the Chinese senior surnamed Chen had a strange expression when he saw him, and then took out the school emblem, and asked his name a little abruptly, he clearly remembered that Chen Mo at this time brought a black-haired female companion, a Latin beauty look, a luxurious aura and elegant demeanor.
Two weeks later, he met Chen Mo again, also in a hotel in Chicago, but the senior's female companion was different.
Playboy, that's Fingal's first impression.
After these few vacation encounters became nodding friends, the next meeting was at the Night's Watchman's Clock Tower, where his lovely girl took him to meet the old alchemist, who drank whiskey and laughed and said that the reason for the apprenticeship was that he liked EVA running around in front of him in a skirt, and the girl blushed and glared at the old disrespectful vice-principal, and the Night's Watch burped happily and threw an empty bottle for him to pour underground.
In the dimly lit cellar, there are rows and rows of treasures on the right, there are many bookshelves on the left, there are many ancient books on the shelves, the pitch-black figure sits cross-legged on the ground and reads hungrily by the light, there are a few white papers full of symbols, formulas and testimonies on the ground, the sound of him pushing open the door seems to alarm the reader, and under the light that turns, Fingal sees a face that has been connected with each other several times, and his black eyes are slightly squinted by the light source at the door, and he can still see the fanaticism contained in it.
Academic madman, this is his second impression with a strong sense of disobedience.
The first time I met this senior was always in that bell tower, Chen Mo always smiled gently, especially when EVA was also present, as his boyfriend Fingal was strangely not disgusted by this, this senior brother didn't have much contact with EVA, but was looking at a little sister, and even when he looked at him later, his eyes were similarly gentle. There was even some scrutiny occasionally, which was similar to the old man at the Night's Watch.
But it wasn't until the relationship in the real sense became better that he couldn't see through what this senior brother was thinking, and he didn't understand where the sense of disobedience he occasionally felt from Chen Mo came from.
This feeling reached the extreme before that mission that he would never forget, on the academy's unfinished supercomputer, a network attack and defense was launched around the personnel records of the secret mission, and the defender finally won the victory with absolute authority suppression, and he knew that he could hack into the academy system except himself, only that senior brother.
On the other hand, recalling that experience, there seemed to be two opposing forces around him and EVA before the mission, constantly wrestling to decide whether they would participate in the tragedy.
On the day of the mission, Chen Mo did not appear at the academy station of the CC1000 train, and there was no other news.
When he returns from the cold hell, the dead heart is energized in the slightest by a note left in the clock tower, Norma, EVA, the Academy's true artificial intelligence is being created under the hands of a tireless, no-day computer genius and half-blood king.
Golden flames burned in the ice cellar.
He would sometimes fall asleep in a black forest full of blade processors, only to wake up to the tasks listed in the journal had been advanced a lot, and the database that created EVA was filled with another person's memories.
When the girl's figure reappeared in the blue light, the displaced person seemed to chase after a phantom that was beautiful enough, and his big hand took the girl's small hand, and the light and shadow passed through the flesh and blood.
On the same day, EVA's records stated that Chen Mo's application for a civilian leave of absence from the Executive Department was approved, and Chen Mo left Kassel.
From that day on, the college has one less "A+" level elite, one "C" level transparent person, one more waste student who likes to complain, and a civilian who goes out for internships.
A year later, the first and probably the most difficult briquette-washing task was completed by Fingal, and for the first time, the great Kassel paparazzi showed his extraordinary talent.
Any record of the "Greenland Ice Sea" completely disappeared from all existing networked servers in the world, only paper documents and the memories of those involved, the Night Watch Forum was created, and waves of top news continued to wash away the entire college's impression of the former elite, there were no survivors of the ice sea incident, only waste materials that loved to eat, drink and have fun, and public opinion on the campus was gradually mastered by the forum.
At the same time, Chen Mo, as a student on leave of absence, returned to the college with "good" performance, leaving the impression of a clerical job in the eyes of the professor and the students around him, and he and a waste student named "Fingal" who became the same grade had nothing to do with him in his final year of school.
After Norma and EVA, a generation-long artificial intelligence, became the academy stewards in Kassel, their extremely powerful functions made the executive department and even the school board of directors rely on computers to a certain extent.
Of course, there will always be things that are only recorded on paper and in people's heads, and there will always be places that surveillance cameras can't capture.
Even so, Fingal became one of the people in the world who knew the most about the secrets of the half-bloods.
However, he always knew one thing, his senior brother must know more than him, Chen Mo as one of the builders of the underlying logic, as long as Fingal did not intend to deliberately strengthen the firewall in real time for attack and defense, the secret party's network database was like the back garden of Chen Mo's family, and the information that Fingal knew could also be understood by Chen Mo.
And when Norma and EVA were not finished, his senior brother saw the strangeness of Binghai's incident somewhere, hoping to keep him and EVA away from it.
He had left questions in the firewall, hoping to understand what was behind the incident, but Chen Mo just bypassed that wall.
The waste wood junior did not continue to ask, and the civilian senior did not take the initiative to speak.
It's just that two people who have known each other for a long time coincide and put on a coat and make it thicker and thicker day after day in campus life.
Until the night of graduation and repetition, one of them suddenly tore his coat without hesitation, and then suffered a damn coincidence of fate.
Even EVA didn't know that Patsy had also gone to Jotunheim, and he chose a different route from Chen Mo, first using the white card to visit the periphery, and then diverted to the bottom floor in an area where there was no surveillance, leaving the illusion that people were still on the periphery of the ice cellar.
The next day, Chen Mo defected and boarded the wanted warrant, and Fingal, who was vaguely aware of the fact that something was wrong, asked the night watchman and waited for the outcome of the matter, and after learning about the trip to the North Pole, he did not hesitate to infiltrate the team of the executive department.
Fingal's brain was in a state of chaos, constantly replaying these experiences.
Until he fished out a hidden pebble from the ocean of memory.
