Chapter 129: Decision-making
April 4, afternoon, Principal's Office.
Xia Mingwei said slowly while sorting out the materials on the table:
"During the period of the Surtr riot in the old Jingmai neighborhood, among the third-year students who were in attendance, it is worth noting that Giovanni, Pasha Hogan, and Jiang Zixiao happened to meet on vacation in Hokkaido, so they had already left the school by train early in the morning and headed for Japan. Aynance and I were on our way to the airport when we met on the train and said hello. β
"Yes......" Suad muttered, "in fact, our people think the same way, and after so many screening conditions, these three students are the only ones who have obvious doubts. β
"The frost giant Ymir, also known as Hogg, told me on the train to Normandy, France, that one of Zeus' abilities was to take away," said Summerway, "and the three students, Jiang Zixiao, Pasha Hogan, and Giovanni, all entered the school three years ago. It is likely that Zeus took their bodies during that time, disguised themselves as them to enter the Academy, and lurked here for three years. Next year is the time when he will be able to blend in with the Executive Board, so he is nervous right now and is unlikely to show his hands, after all, this is the dawn before his success. β
"Yes, it's very likely." Suad's eyes lit up.
"I have a way to catch Zeus." Xia Mingwei paused and lowered his voice, "The simplest, and at the same time the most brutal way. β
"Tell me about it?"
"Use the ability of the Collector, the Mentor Fast, to replicate the remains of Kaguyahime, then gather the third-year students to the museum and destroy the fake remains created by the artist in front of them." Xia Mingwei said slowly, "The person who reacted the most to this matter was probably Zeus. β
Suad stared at Xia Mingwei: "Where do you get your opinion?" β
"Quite simply, Kaguya is Zeus's lover." Xia Mingwei said, "It was for the sake of the dead Kaguya that he wanted to infiltrate the sequencer." β
"Then why do you have to have Fast make a copy of a fake corpse?" Suad said, "Out of sympathy, huh? β
Xia Mingwei was silent for a while, noncommittal to Suade's statement: "Of course, if you want to make sure that this plan doesn't go wrong, you can also destroy Kaguya's real body directly in front of the third-year students without having Professor Fast copy the fake, that's enough." β
"Then do it." Suad said deeply, "Kaguya's body has been lying there long enough, it's time for her to rest in peace." β
Xia Mingwei glanced at the clock and asked expressionlessly, "Headmaster, when are you going to take action?" β
"After a week, it will take time to transfer the personnel to the Executive Board."
"In a week?"
"Although it would be safer for us to find out Zeus when your mythological sequence is completely revived," Suad took a deep breath, "but the situation is urgent, and we don't have that much time. At every juncture, Anubis is likely to appear. Once it joins forces with Zeus, even you are no match for them. What's more, your mythic sequence hasn't reached the fourth order yet. β
"It's okay." Xia Mingwei whispered, "It stands to reason that if Zeus really reveals his identity, then even without my participation in the war, the members of the Executive Board should be enough to deal with him." β
"Indeed, that time is set for a week later."
"It's best to keep this matter a secret from anyone other than you and me." Xia Mingwei said, "For the time being, I don't know if Zeus has any other internal responses in the school park, if he knows the news from some source, when that day comes, the possibility of him showing his feet is much lower." β
"Of course." Suad groaned, "This matter is just a test, and I think Zeus may show his feet, but it is unlikely that he will lose control on the spot." β
"Finally," said Charmingway, after a pause, "if Zeus is taking away the Pasha, that is, your son's body, I want you to keep your sanity." β
A hint of surprise flashed in Suad's gray eyes: "Do you know about this? Just looking at his appearance, no one thought that he, a boy who seemed to be only ten years old, would have a son. In fact, giving birth to Pasha Hogan with his wife was before he awakened the retrograde sequence.
"It was Ji Lang who told me. As he investigates Pasha's background, he discovers that the philosopher is actually your son, and that the 'Retrograde' sequence is a branch variant of the philosopher's family. β
"That kid is really capable." Suad said slowly.
"It's very capable." Xia Mingwei said, "It's almost time for dinner, and my friend and I have made an appointment to meet in the cafeteria, and the principal will meet again." β
"Okay, there you go." After Suad finished speaking, Xia Mingwei quickly walked out of the principal's office.
Suad leaned back in the leather chair, his elbows against the table, his hands and ten fingers closed at his chin, his gray eyes closed, and his breathing gradually steadied.
After a short break, he held an online meeting. Suad took out the corresponding communication device from the safe, unlocked it and passed through the device's security system. In an instant, five figures of different shades of blue light were projected, fixed directly above the instrument, arranged in rows from left to right.
"I haven't seen you in a while, Suad." From the projection on the far right, a rough and angry voice was heard.
"Long time no see, Naoki Hanzawa." Suad turned his head to look at him, "The last time we met was in the old Jingmai neighborhood, and I was busy looking for the body of Surtr. β
"This is really a fucking father and son." Hanzawa Naoki's eyebrows fluttered, "I will look for my father, I will look for his son, this stinky boy named Xia Mingwei didn't expect to be able to play so big." The dual-sequence holder, it's just fucking ruining him! I finally understand why you're paying so much attention to him, Suad. β
"I was paying attention to him because I thought his eyes were funny, and on the other hand, he had the only utopian sequence in him in him, do you know what that means?" Suad said lightly.
"Then now this kid is even more heavyweight, not only has a 'visionary' sequence, but also a mythological sequence that can confront the god of beauty and the god of the sea." Hanzawa Naoki sighed.
"That's right," Suad said deeply, "If Poseidon the sea god is a double S-level mythological carrier, then Xia Mingwei should at least be a three-S-level mythical carrier on the same level as Zeus, or even higher than this, an unprecedented level." β
"Then you old things can't treat him as a father?" Hanzawa Naoki said it for granted.
Suad was silent for a while: "Actually, Mr. Sitbay and they have other ideas, they think that we can't put the initiative in the hands of Shamingway. β
Seat Bay Medici spoke: "Hanzawa, you are still so immodest after all this time. He had an angular face, a white beard covering his lips and chin, black hair like a wave behind him, and a smile like an old fox on his features.
Sittbe is the patriarch of the Medici family, and has control over most of the family's key decisions, not to mention that he is also the core figure of the Executive Board, one of the five sequencers.
As for the other four of the five sequencers, they are the great leader of the lion dancer - "Jiang Ming Dance", the patriarch of the philosophical family - "Cove Hogan", the genius sequencer who holds the martial artist sequence - "Zhang Wanlin", and the most senior sequencer - "Hanzawa Naoki".
"Sittbey, I heard that you did a lot of hard work this time?" Hanzawa asked.
"How can this be considered ruthless, just simply prepare, otherwise if that kid Xia Mingwei turns against us one day, what will we use to fight against it at that time?"
"Kneel and beg people not to us?" Hanzawa Naoki shrugged his shoulders and lifted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"Fart!" Jiang Mingwu frowned and snorted, "Banze, a small hairy head can turn the world upside down in us, so where is the face of our sequencer?" β
Jiang Mingwu was as old as Sittbe, almost full of white hair, with a pale beard that fell down to cover his lips, and two cheekbones that were slightly protruding. However, he is relatively shorter and slightly hunched. The facial features are also more narrow, and the eyebrows and eyes bloom with a cold glow that penetrates into the bone marrow.
Seat Bet Medici said, "Well, that's the capital of that bastard." Dare to ask, even if the five sequencers here go out together, can they have a 60% chance of winning the joint beauty god and the sea god? β
"I think that even if we join forces with all of you, our chances of winning are less than half." Zhang Wanlin spoke, his voice sonorous and powerful. Not counting Suad, he was the youngest person here, with black hair and beard, and eyes as bright as a young man's.
"Half of that is too much," said Cove Hogan blandly, "I don't think our chances of winning are forty percent." β
He is Suad's father, and he was once disappointed that Suad failed to inherit the philosopher's sequence, but what he didn't expect was that Suad awakened a very special 'retrograde' sequence after he was over half a hundred years old, and since then he has been in the executive board for a long time, rising all the way, and finally even running for the principal of Olibel Academy. Soon after, Suad's son, Pasha Hogan, also showed the rudiments of the 'philosopher' sequence, and for a time the philosopher's family was like a tiger, which made Colif very happy.
"You're all so pessimistic?" Jiang Mingwu snorted coldly, his eyes sharp, "I think if we were all in our heyday, the winning rate would be at least seventy percent." β
Seat Bet Medici said with emotion: "It's not advisable to deceive yourself, Jiang Mingwu." β
"Yes, Senior Jiang, blind confidence is not advisable." Zhang Wanlin's tone was respectful and humble.
"You've all been sitting in this position for too long, and you're all in this position." Jiang Mingwu said coldly.
Suad closed his eyelids, opened his gray eyes again after a moment, and said slowly: "Everyone, I am now in the name of the principal of the Olibel Academy, and I am here to seriously discuss with you the disposal of Xia Mingwei and the mythical carrier, the Yaqi Giant Snake, so don't talk about it." β
"I'm here to support you in this matter, Suad, I think it's best not to annoy that kid, and let him reunite with his little girl." Hanzawa Naoki took a puff of his cigarette.
"Ridiculous." Jiang Mingwu squinted, his voice full of majesty, "Put his last weakness back to him, then what will we do to control this monster in the future?" β
"He's not a monster, Jiang senior, he's our descendants of Huaxia." Zhang Wanlin's tone was calm.
"Hey, Suad, I know what you're afraid of. But in this matter, I still have to vote for Lao Jiang. "Humans are passive enough, I don't want that monkey to pry our Executive Board with a club one day, and I'll have to hold him down somewhat." β
Colif Hogan said coldly: "Or cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and solve him while his Black Wukong sequence has not yet recovered to its original state." β
"What about Anubis and that inverted pyramid?" Suad frowned.
"Then we will find another way." Coreef replied decisively, "Suad, I have cultivated you for so long, not to make you indecisive in such a big matter. β
"I'm communicating with you now in the name of the Headmaster, not as your heir." Suad's tone was firm, "Shamingway is my student, and I should be responsible for him." At the same time, I should also consider the risks of these decisions, if because of the handling of the Yaki Orochi, he has a hatred for us, then no matter how careful we are, once he catches the opportunity in the future, we will still be able to escape death, isn't this very simple? β
"It's a lot harder to speak." "But everything is decided by our vote, and there's no room for you to intervene here." β
Suad looked at the projection of the five and took a deep breath.
Zhang Wanlin said calmly: "Seniors, I really think that you can not worry about your self-esteem for a while, which will lead to unjustified disasters. β
"No," said Sitbe Medici lightly, "even if Xia Mingwei becomes stronger in the future, as long as we keep the Great Snake far enough away from him, we can kill the Great Snake before he arrives." As long as there is this precondition, it is impossible for him to turn against us. β
"What if one day, he doesn't care about the Yaki Orochi anymore?"
"If there really is a day, he will probably have already helped us destroy the other myth carriers, and we sequencers will only have such an enemy left, and there will always be a way to deal with him." Jiang Mingwu stroked his beard and said coldly.
"Vote, guys." Colif Hogan said coldly, "This is the simplest truth, and the battle of words has no meaning." β
"Isn't that more than that?" Hanzawa Naoki crooked his eyebrows.
Suad closed his eyelids and closed his eyes in contemplation.
When he opened his eyes again, the final voting result was that Jiang Mingwu, Colive, and Sitbei decided to transfer the location of the Yaqi Orochi, and let Xia Mingwei contact her through the Internet in the future, and prevent them from having direct contact; The other two votes were for Zhang Wanlin and Hanzawa Naoki, who advocated a benign cooperation with Xia Mingwei and did not use the Yaqi Orochi to control him, but the final vote was three to two, and they had to follow the rules of the parliament.
"Forget it, whatever you want, I'll do it." Hanzawa Naoki yawned.
Cove Hogan said: "Deal with it well, Suad, and quickly find Zeus out, the whole two mythical carriers have been hidden in the school for so long, and you are still unconscious, it's a shame." β
"There's really no way," Zhang Wanlin sighed, "The seniors, this side has also retired first." β
Jiang Mingwu put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "Suad, don't be too naΓ―ve, Xia Mingwei deceived us once, then there will be a second time." Since his only weakness is the girl, then we must hold his weakness firmly in the palm of our hands, and it is a matter of human survival. β
Sitbe Medici smiled and said, "Anyway, it's up to you, Suad." Now that Xia Mingwei's mythological sequence has not been restored, he should not be able to do anything, but before successfully transferring the Yaqi Snake, remember to keep an eye on him, so as not to make any mistakes. β
Suad nodded, a glimmer of light in his gray eyes. In the next moment, the five projection interfaces in front of him gradually dimmed, as if five blue lights were retracted into the instrument.
In the dead silence of the principal's room, only this boy with a blank gaze remained.
