Chapter 744: People's hearts are like ghosts
On the other side, the office building, one of the tallest buildings of the academy, is also the command center of the temple team.
"What, heavy casualties?" Listening to the reports of the few people in front of him, Rhodes' eyes widened instantly, and he grabbed the broken hair, "I know that the academy is very large, and I am also mentally prepared for the surrounding defense line to be broken, after all, those magic traps built of waste materials are really not good." The main entrance was broken...... Well, the idea of driving a horse to step on the exploding crystal is really new and practical, I admit it!, but what about a rabble, and gangsters, and so many casualties on our elite team of the temple? Are you sure you're not kidding me?"
β...... It's this thing. Handed over a packet of powdered stuff wrapped in newspaper, "They say it's lime powder?"
"Lime powder? What kind of powder is that? Can you eat it?" Rod looked at the gray powder in amazement, stretched out his fingers and sniffed a little, as if he was about to put it in his mouth.
"Well, it's the waste of the earthen kiln, so you shouldn't be able to eat it......"
Rhodes glared again, "So, what caused us heavy casualties was actually the clay kiln scrap thrown by the gang gangsters?" well, I found that my receptivity was quite good, you continued. β
"Once this lime powder is sprinkled and splashes into the eyes, it will produce a strong burning sensation, the pain is unspeakable, and even more severe will lead to blindness...... That's what Jade said. β
"Jed, that knight with the strength of a high-level martial artist, described it in such detail, so he was also recruited?"
"Uh, yes. This thing is scattered at close range, and it is easy to get caught if you are not prepared. β
First rubbed his eyebrows, and then Rod stroked his palms and sighed lightly: "Sure enough, there is learning everywhere! Everyone, remember today." Gang gangsters teach us a vivid lesson...... Kindness. How do you solve this thing? Is it okay to rinse it with water?"
"Probably not...... Jade had only splashed a little before. You can still see something vaguely, but when you shoot the thugs and find water to rinse them...... Well, his eyes have been completely burned out now, and he should be certain to be permanently blind. β
......
β...... I will mourn for him. After a moment of silence, Rhodes nodded expressionlessly, and then looked through the crystal glass window on the side, looking at the fires and chaos outside. "So, we're gradually losing control of the situation now?"
"Still in control...... Although they have this lime powder, their strength is far inferior to ours after all, and they are only active in front of the academy now......"
Waving his hand, he interrupted, "Is there any news from anyone else, such as ...... Donne?"
"For the time being, there is no clear news that Don has appeared, but in addition to the Xia Wei you said, there are some black armor people of unknown origin who have entered the academy and their whereabouts are unknown. β
Obviously. Although the situation is not completely out of the control of this side. However, due to some unplanned factors, they were previously deployed in various parts of the college. It has been disrupted to a lesser or lesser extent. The first manifestation is the gap and lag in information and intelligence.
Frowning and thinking about it, Rhodes waved his hand and said, "In this case, except for the magician, the knights gradually gave up the area in front of the academy. Concentrate on the rear of the academy and show me those captives!"
This is a wise move, but also a helpless move. Wisely, no matter how things evolve, as long as he sees the captive, then Don will definitely not be able to get around this place no matter when he comes. As for helplessness, it was they who found themselves underestimating their originally inconspicuous opponents, which led to the embarrassing situation now and had to give up their cars to protect their handsomeness.
However, as soon as Rod's voice fell, before a few people in front of him should be, the door was directly pushed open, and the visitor said urgently, "My lord, a group of black-armored people forcibly broke into the accommodation building!"
The dormitory, of course, was the student dormitory, which was where they held the prisoners of the Grey Army.
"Aha, finally it appeared!" A loud laugh, Rod was not surprised, since the person who came was for capture, it could only be Tang who had been waiting so far here. The figure flashed, swept out of the doorway like a violent wind, and disappeared in an instant.
......
At this time, the rear accommodation building.
Since it is for thousands of students, there are countless rooms here. In one of the huts, more than 30 people were huddled together, with chains tied to their hands and feet, leaning against the wall and half-sitting.
There is no doubt that these thirty or so people are naturally the former members of the secret agency, and now the captives. In fact, there were more than so many people, but more than a dozen people have died in the so-called 'trial'.
I have to say that although the moody Rhodes looks more like a madman and often does inexplicable things, it is precisely because of this that he is more and more unstoppably afraid.
Therefore, after hearing the sound of dense footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door, the atmosphere in the closed hut suddenly changed. Previously, except for the time of eating, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, that is, Rhodes came to choose the subjects of trial - there was no coercion of confessions, let alone torture, just a few random people at a time, and then someone took them out for trial. And except for the first special case, none of the people who went out each time came back alive.
When it comes to death, most people are naturally afraid. However, if you already know what you are doing, once you make a mistake and are caught, you will face death, then your heart will naturally be much stronger than ordinary people.
So at the beginning, after these members of the secret agency found out that they had not been banned, they all encouraged each other to keep secrets, even if they died. But this fearlessness unconsciously changed a little when someone who was interested discovered that the objects of trial that Rhodes selected each time were selected from a row of people near the wall to the left side of the gate......
Death is not terrible, but who would want to die if they could live?
That's right, the number of captives here is really small, and it doesn't seem to make much difference if they die early or later. But what if someone comes to the rescue in the middle of the interval? Does that mean that the lower you are in the ranks, the more you have more life, at least much more than someone who dies right away?
Even if you know that there is only a glimmer of life, it is enough to make people explode into greed in their hearts and fight for their heads...... Perhaps, this is also the reason why Rhodes chooses people regularly. He just threw out a rudimentary rule, and naturally someone would be willing to play the game.
In silence, a big man on the left wall slowly stood up and looked at a thin young man opposite him expressionlessly: "Boy, let's change positions." β
At the moment, although these people belong to secret agencies, they may not be from the same city, and they may not know each other. Of course, Rhodes and the others only destroyed three institutions in total, so naturally some people recognized this big man.
Before the thin young man could answer, a middle-aged man who was also on the left side looked up gloomily and said in a fierce voice: "Kailuo, sit down!"
The big man hesitated when he heard this, but when his eyes swept over the silent people around him, his heart suddenly relaxed. Sometimes silence represents acquiescence as well as recognition. Obviously, he was not the only one with such selfish thoughts, he was just the first to stand up......
Thinking of this, he took a step with his head raised slightly, and the heavy iron chain fell to the ground: "I'm sorry, Brother Rayson." β
"I sayβlet you sit down!," a deep roar echoed through the room, and the middle-aged man named Rayson leaned forward, his eyes narrowed like blades, almost devouring people.
"This is not an institution, and you are no longer my adult. The big man called Kairo didn't look back, and strode straight to the thin young man with a pale face, his hands bound in chains curled up into fists, and raised slightly, "Nian ...... we used to live together"
Before the words fell, he roared violently, "If you don't sit down, you'll die!" Hearing this, Kairo turned around, but as soon as he turned halfway through his body, he was knocked to the ground by Rayson, who was hit by a fit. Immediately Rayson raised his fists high, his expression twisted and fierce, and slammed into Kairo's head with chains.
Clang...... Sparks splashed around, and Kyro was stronger in the end, and he couldn't wait to raise his chains to block the door.
But the metal impact seemed to break the shackles in the hearts of some people in the field, and a few figures slowly stood up. He didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on his target like a snake, and he walked dullly.
Loyalty, affection, and integrity...... In the face of the great horror of life and death, some people hugged each other tightly, and some people abandoned them like sloppy shoes! So after a short time, the hut was caught in a scuffle, and there was no figure in the blur, only the roar of the beast was heard, like a group of demons dancing......
