Chapter 45: Defense
Chapter 45 Defense
Du Zhengyi didn't have much effort to find Liu Ziyu, and the short-haired little girl seemed to have expected him to come to her. She let go of the tools she was busy with, slowly descended from mid-air, and glanced at Du Zhengyi-
"Senior brother."
Du Zheng turned around and walked towards the end of the hall, and Liu Ziyu floated behind him and followed. He stood under the statue of Fuxi Nuwa that no one was around, and the white sneakers on Liu Ziyu's feet lightly touched the ground.
Du Zheng glanced at her and said bluntly, "Does Luo Qi have something for you to bring to me?" ”
She shook her head, and Du Zheng was a little disappointed for a moment.
"But I want to tell you something." She raised her hand and made an intricate set of gestures that looked a bit like the knot seals of ancient Japanese mythology, she said. Du Zhengyi knew that this was a habit she developed when she was a child when she studied with Teacher Liu Li, and now she doesn't need to use gestures to concentrate on magic, many magicians just have all kinds of habits.
With her gestures, the environment around the two fell silent, and she cut off the sounds inside and outside, the equivalent of a sandbox she had created herself, but this sandbox was simple and only suitable for confidential conversations.
"He's not in the cube." Liu Ziyu said, "I guess you want to know this. It's been two days since the security guy took him to the interrogation room. ”
"Do you know which interrogation room?" Du Zhengyi asked.
"He mentioned Pei Shu to me when he came." Liu Ziyu said, wrinkling his nose slightly, "But the teacher has not been at home recently, we are not you, and we can't go into Gushan at will." I inquired about the mahjong brother, and I found out that the man was messing with you, and I think you'll probably be coming over in the next few days, so I'll keep an eye on this side - they took him to that interrogation room. ”
"Which one?" Du Zheng frowned, he is not mahjong, he can be very familiar with the brothers and sisters. The girl looked a little autistic, and he didn't quite understand what she was talking about. "Which interrogation room?"
"That's it." Liu Ziyu said, as if he was surprised by Du Zhengyi's reaction, "That one is the oldest one." ”
Du Zhengyi's heart slammed, "It's been two days? ”
Liu Ziyu raised his head and thought for a while, "It's almost forty-eight hours." ”
Du Zhengyi felt regret for the first time, and he turned around and left. After walking two steps, he remembered that he hadn't thanked him yet, and he was not very good at receiving benefits from people in his life, so he turned around and said "thank you" awkwardly.
Liu Ziyu nodded absentmindedly, put away her soundproofing magic, turned around and went back to work.
Du Zhengyi found Guan Xinyue who was about to lose her hiding by the window, and a male mage with two or five eyes seemed to be very interested in her, and was pestering Guan Xinyue to talk. Du Zhengyi glared at the boy irritably, and for the first time he somewhat agreed with Zuo Yu's statement, aren't these two hundred and five too bad, can't you see that Guan Xinyue is not an adult at all?
Guan Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly hid to Du Zhengyi's side, ignoring what she said earlier about keeping a few steps away. "What the hell are you doing? We're all right! You even hid behind the statue with the girl to chat! Oh my God, what is that statue? ”
"You can't ask questions, you know?" Du Zhengyi whispered. No magician would be curious about their common symmetrical statue of Fuxi Nuwa, even the chocolate they ate as children.
Guan Xinyue closed her mouth tightly and looked around nervously. Du Zhengyi knew that her spirit had collapsed very tightly, and she was about to reach her limit if she had been delayed here for too long.
"Don't look, don't be afraid." Du Zhengyi stretched out a hand and held it on the girl's forearm.
Guan Xinyue's heart settled, and her head stood taller, like a magician with empty eyes. Du Zhengyi pinched her forearm slightly, and she heard a whisper that seemed to be nothing, "He should have had an accident, I was wrong." ”
Guan Xinyue raised her head in a daze, and only a blank space could be seen on the young archmage's face, but she understood what he meant. They finally walked out of the hall, which had a name in the Qionglin, the Fifth Lab. Even Du Zhengyi didn't know what it was used for, but those genius magicians gathered in this huge laboratory to conduct their own magic experiments. The back of the hall led to a spacious corridor, and Du Zhengyi did not delay, and took Guan Xinyue directly through the corridor and walked into another hall at the end of the corridor.
This is the library of Qionglin, which preserves books from all eras of the wizarding world, and even some bamboo slips rescued from the previous Qionglin. Of course, there is much more knowledge stored in the magic crystals, which are embedded in the pillars of the library. Guan Xinyue thought she had walked into the crystal palace when she first walked into the library, she roamed between the crystal columns, and the walls were full of books, and for a while she felt that this was really crazy, she was like Alice falling down the rabbit hole.
"Here." Du Zhengyi said briefly, letting go of Guan Xinyue and disappearing behind a pillar.
Guan Xinyue knew that it was not the time to be amazed, so she ran over after Du Zhengyi's footsteps in a hurry.
"There's no one in the library." Du Zhengyi whispered, relieved, "Fortunately, many people won't come to the library at this time, and when you come here, you need to disassemble the defense crystal." ”
"You're not asking me to tear down the pillars, are you? Guan Xinyue said worriedly, for fear that Du Zhengyi would overestimate her physical strength and not explain it to her.
Guan Xinyue ran a few steps and arrived at the center of the library, where between the four pillars stood a garden corona-like pedestal, and in the center of the pedestal stood a crystal the size of a fire extinguisher. Guan Xinyue had already noticed that the magicians' crystals were of different colors, this crystal looked amber, not very transparent, and the lower part of the crystal was tightly sunk into a groove in the foundation.
"Press it once, then pull it out with both hands." Du Zhengyi said, "I can't help you, you have to have a little strength, after pulling it out, there will be crystal wires connected at the bottom, and I will tell you the order of pulling out those crystal wires." ”
"Oh my God." Guan Xinyue did so, first pressed the amber crystal, and then pulled it out. This part is not difficult, but this kind of operation makes her have a strange sense of familiarity, "God, Du Zhengyi, don't you think that your set of things is very similar to many of our electronic devices?" The only difference is the material. God, even the filaments are a bit like fiber optics! ”
"Don't talk." Du Zhengyi carefully looked at the fully transparent filaments under the crystal, and pointed out the order in which Guan Xinyue broke the crystal filaments.
Guan Xinyue held the crystal with one arm and disconnected the crystal threads one by one. When she pulled out the crystal completely, she didn't feel any major changes, and if there was a little bit of noise reduction, she also suspected that it was an illusion. "Nothing has changed."
"Shh Du Zhengyi said softly, "The biggest change now is that the sensor crystals in the woods have stopped working. ”
Guan Xinyue stood motionless, still holding the amber crystal that was not too small, she didn't feel that something was stopping working, she clearly heard footsteps, and the hall outside seemed to be completely chaotic. It suddenly occurred to her that not only Du Zhengyi knew that Qionglin's defense had been cut off, but the other magicians also knew.
"What's next?" She suddenly realized the problem with the plan, "They're going to check it out right away, right?" Where is such a large piece of crystal hidden? ”
She looked around in a panic, checking where there were still empty places on the bookshelves, "Even if it is hidden, there will always be an archmage who can find it by following the energy induction like you, right?" ”
