Scene 6: Stars and Flowers (3)

"Something?" Manstein frowned. "If anything is valuable, there are too many antiques in this college to sell at auction at high prices. In terms of value, everything in the Icebox has unlimited value. What do you mean?"

 

"Nothing else compared to that, I mean..." Schneider looked Manstein steadily. "The thing our principal brought back from China."

 

"Our principal was back?" Guderian stunned for a moment, "I have not been informed."

 

"He didn't tell anyone. But half an hour ago, the helicopter landed in the hangar, and an hour ago, CC1000 put on an extra train that arrived at the station. Only the principal of the college can run extra trains without me." Schneider said, "There is, of course, one of the simplest pieces of evidence that can be found from students' mailbox."

 

Schneider logged in the student mailbox with "A" access, which contained a mass email:

 

Dear students,

 

I'm so glad I'm back from China alive. The good news is that we have made great gains in China. Also, there's a piece of bad news. Those of you who are taking my modules should be aware that I will require sign up for my three modules next week.

 

Good luck.

 

Your faithful friend,

 

Angers

 

P.S. I'm considering whether you need to take a quiz before the class and record your grades.

 

"The email was sent to the new students taking his module half an hour ago," Schneider said.

 

"What he brought back from China... It's the bone flask of Norton." Manstein said, "So that explains it, the bottle was delivered half an hour ago, then the invasion happened."

 

"Where is it now?" Asked Guderian.

 

"It must be in the most guarded place -- the Icebox. So our main defence should be underground." Schneider said.

 

"Three main entrances, Valhalla, the church and the library. The library is defended by Norma. Valhalla and the church are both at risk. How many people could the Executive Department send?"

 

"Very few, there has never been a campus invasion since the school was founded, so the officers of the department are carrying out search missions overseas. Now we have to rely on the students. The students with good training and high-level pedigree are our main force. Caesar Gattuso leads the Student Union to guard Valhalla, and Chu Zihang leads the Lionheart to guard the church. Their true strength, because of their pedigree, is stronger than most of the executive officers," Schneider said.

 

"That's all we can do." Manstein sighed, "Can we get in touch with the principal?"

 

"I called his cell phone, but it didn't turn on. Sometimes he can be a bit tricky, coming back to school with something of this level, without informing anyone, without being on guard, but sending an email informing students the class time." Schneider shook his head.

 

"Because he's a real educator!" Said Guderian.

 

"Hello, can someone escort me back to my dormitory?" Lu Mingfei looked around. "Which dude with a gun can escort me back to my dormitory? It's a long road and those men have guns!"

 

Ignoring him, the students hurried past the Amber Hall, each team had someone in charge, they set up their own area of defence and snipers. A few people in a team quickly occupied the dominant position and spread out, flashlights were flashing everywhere.

 

Lu Mingfei was about to hurry and jump in front of the Amber Hall.

 

"Walk home by yourself." Someone behind his back said, "no one will eat you. You would be looked down upon by them as an 'S' level."

 

Lu Mingfei turned his head. Nuo Nuo stood in the light behind him, her hands in her arms, leaning against a pillar.

 

"Is it a matter of life and death? It's a dragon invasion! Who needs face at this moment?" Lu Mingfei said, "Is it midnight training?"

 

"What then? Other people are very busy, do you want me to escort you?" Nuo Nuo said.

 

"All right... "

 

"I don't even have a weapon," Nuo Nuo shrugged. "If it's a real invasion we will be dead in two shots."

 

Lu Mingfei was about to find something, "Right, Fingel, this guy's in eighth grade. He's got a good figure, can't he help?"

 

"Aye? The loser senior brother can't be found." He patted his head, "Ah, with his loyalty index, he will not remember to call me when he slipped away.”

 

"Anyway, no one will escort you, why don't you go out and play?" Nuo Nuo patted his shoulder.

 

"What? Aren't dragons invading the whole school? Even though I don't see any dragon here... "

 

"It's safe to get out. Aren't intruders walking around the campus now?"

 

"Makes sense, but would it be a terrible penalty if we get caught?" Lu Mingfei was a bit moved, "Is it expelled?"

 

"It's not that serious. The most they can do is to deduct your internship marks. I'll go by myself if you don't come with me." Nuo Nuo turned and left.

 

Lu Mingfei stunned and caught up, "Hey, where are we going?"

 

"The Bugatti Veyron, made by Volkswagen in the French town of Molshelm, has 16 cylinders and four turbos..." The silver-gray sports car was exposed as Nuo Nuo pulled the tarps. The whole car was started remotely, the lights flashing and the engine was roaring heavily like a dragon.

 

"1001 horsepower, 407 kilometres per hour, 0 to 100 kilometres in 2.5 seconds..." Lu Mingfei praised, "I had seen it in a magazine!"

 

"Now it is yours since Caesar has lost it to you. He took this car as a bet on this year's 'freedom day' and bet with Chu Zihang on his 'Murasame'. But you won."

 

"That's too extravagant? One million euros for this car?" Lu Mingfei took the key that Nuo Nuo threw.

 

"He doesn't care. Caesar doesn’t really like the car, it was a birthday present from his father. He thinks it's an insult to have a playboy-style car like this."

 

"Does his father need another son?" "Admire" was written in the eyes of Lu Mingfei.

 

"I'm tired. You do the driving."

 

With the hardtop open, Nuo Nuo took off her high heels and hopped into the car, sitting in the passenger seat. Lu Mingfei jumped in, grabbed the steering wheel and took a deep breath, watching the sky in silence.

 

"Enjoying the feeling of winning a supercar?" Nuo Nuo asked.

 

"No, thinking about whether I should step on the gas or shift first..." He stepped on the gas intuitively.

 

Screaming, tires rubbed with the ground with a slip of smoke, the Bugatti rushed out like a runaway horse. Nuo Nuo giggled and took off the silver hairpin and bit it in her mouth to untie her long hair. Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that Fingel had said that Nuo Nuo was a crazy girl.

 

You never know what she's thinking.
