Dragon Clan: Thought So Far

The snow was falling heavily, and the cold lighting in the Hall of Valor reflected on the bright marble floor. The old people who held the greatest power in the world silently exchanged glances on the table, and everyone had extremely expressive expressions. Solemn.

Dark clouds filled the sky outside the window, and the clouds formed by light gray clouds were very low, like an inverted black sea rolling against the mountains.

The executive department led by Professor Schneider has put the work progress of the past few days in front of every elder. They have undoubtedly read the information. Everyone wants to stay calm, but the corners of their eyes cannot stop twitching. , but betrayed the huge shock in their hearts.

"We spent a whole week searching for traces of Lu Mingfei and the woman named Eri Uesugi all over the world." Another school director from Italy waved the document in his hand, under the brown lenses The golden pupils in the deep eye sockets are slowly lighting up,

"The Colonel's Board of Directors and the Senate have invested more than one billion dollars in this matter. From Oslo to London to Paris to Moscow to Ulaanbaatar, the executive departments of more than 50 countries have participated in the arrest and pursuit. , but until now all we have gotten is a meaningless mission report, and every line seems to reveal the incompetence of the execution department.”

"We are trying to restart the core program of EVA. As long as we can succeed, the academy will be able to regain control of every suspicious thing in every country by re-dominating the Internet." Mr. Turing said, "Norma's computing power is already in fact. "It is far behind the supercomputers built by mainstream countries and information powers. Even if we start upgrading the college's smart secretary now, it will take at least three months to complete."

"So what about reawakening EVA? How long will it take?" St. George knocked on the table with his fingers, and the clear voice returned to the Hall of Valor.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid we can't give a specific answer." Mr. Turing crossed his fingers, leaned forward slightly, and slowly shifted his gaze from St. George to the school director who just reprimanded the executive department.

After the industrial revolution, technology thrived on this planet like a raging fire, becoming the real primary productive force in just a few decades.

This change has even affected the mixed-race world, which is almost completely isolated from ordinary society. Strong power and astonishing wealth are no longer the only interpretations of power. "Intellectual factions" are rapidly rising, such as Fra who masters the secrets of alchemy. Mel's family, and even the proud Gattuso family had to bow their heads obediently in front of the night watchman.

Mr. Turing possesses "information", and his status in this college is in a sense no less than that of Professor Flamel, as is any other dean of the department.

They represent power in their own right, and the school board cannot make them bow.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the mixed race world in recent hundreds of years. Almost all the great scientists with surnames in history, including Einstein, Faraday, Maxwell, John Gauss and Sir Isaac Newton, are of mixed race origin. , they have sharp minds and terrifying insights that are far beyond ordinary people. With the strong blood advantage of the mixed race, they are at ease in obscure scientific fields, walking on the ground, even the mountains of subjects that are insurmountable for ordinary people. They suffered repeated setbacks in their day and night conquests, showing no dignity. They lead the world to progress, and they also deserve to be respected.

"After the team we trained investigated possible problems with the hardware and software, they unanimously confirmed that if the college had not been attacked by some kind of cyber attack from alien technology... then EVA might have fallen asleep," Mr. Turing said.

"I am not a computer science graduate, but I know that there is no such thing as falling asleep in a program, right?" Dame Elizabeth Laurent shook the bell at hand.

The vice-principal cleared his throat, "If it is an artificial intelligence with serious roots, there will indeed be no fatigue, but we know that EVA is not a pure artificial intelligence." He said.

There was an eerie silence in the Hall of Heroes for a while.

The Greenland Coast incident is a past event that no one, including the school board, wants to mention.

Eight of the best students from Kassel College of that generation formed an investigation team. Under the leadership of Professor Schneider, who was not the head of the Executive Department at the time, they carried out an S-level task in which the school board of directors issued documents directly and designated participants.

Seven students headed by EVA entered the Nibelung root of a certain high-level dragon while diving, and discovered a door that might be an alchemical creation. After entering, life or death was uncertain.

Von Schneider was also attacked by a high-level dragon while diving for rescue, causing the lower half of his face to completely shrink, and the six students were buried in the ice.

But there is a very dark side hidden in the unknown past.

The reason for that dive mission was that a mysterious person with the ID of Prince on the Hunter website revealed to Kassel College the ruins of the copper plate with the ice-sea fragments carved on it on the seabed. While investigating this site, the college's diving bell accidentally detected the heartbeat of a mysterious dragon embryo.

At that time, Kassel College had not yet obtained a complete specimen of a dragon embryo. The school board showed great interest in Professor Schneider's discovery and eagerly hoped that the executive team at that time could immediately dive in to retrieve the embryo. It was brought back from the sea and transported to Kassel Academy for preservation.

The students had just performed a diving mission close to their limit a few hours ago, and even reached the seabed 500 meters underwater with the help of diving equipment. For this reason, Professor Schneider had proposed to delay the capture of dragon embryos.

But the board of directors responded to von Schneider almost immediately with extremely harsh words, ordering the team members to immediately carry out the mission.

Then the tragedy happened, and only Fingel, who had pleural effusion due to long-term deep-sea walking, survived.

The top leaders of the secret party knew that it was the board of directors' command error that led to the tragedy. Based on the experience and equipment of Professor Schneider and those students at the time, they were not qualified for this job. Similar tasks should be handed over to more senior specialists.

The impact of the accident was far beyond the imagination of many people. Those who participated in the operation were the best young people of that generation in the academy. Seven students, including EVA, died underwater. The A-level student Fingel von Frings, who did not participate in the operation, was also deeply affected by the incident, so that he could not graduate from the academy, and his authority level was constantly downgraded.

The families of the sacrificed students also jointly filed a lawsuit and protest against the college, demanding the reorganization of the board of directors. Although their demands were not met in the end, the power structure of the college began to completely shift to the principal Hilbert Jean Angers from this time. The board of directors, which still had the right to speak in the core affairs of the college, was completely expelled from the power center by the deans and the two principals. Angers has been a dictator for a long time since then.

For all the above reasons, the Greenland Coast Incident has been a taboo in Kassel College for a long time, including the mission report, which has been sealed in the core archives of Norma, and only the owner of the highest authority can be read.

The name EVA. Lawrence has also become a taboo.

"There is no evidence that the human spirit also needs to sleep like my body to metabolize and maintain organs." An elder said.

"But there is no evidence to prove that our spirit does not need to sleep, right?" The night watchman scratched his hair, with a bottle of beer at hand.

The elders looked at each other silently. They really couldn't prove whether EVA's spirit needed to sleep to continue working, but after losing the main personality of this artificial intelligence, Norma alone was not competent for the crisis that Kassel Academy needed to deal with at this time.

"It really takes at least three months to update our supercomputer, right?" Miss Charlotte Gottingen said timidly.

Mr. Turing nodded slightly, "This is the shortest time." He said.

The elders fell into silence.

In fact, with Norma's computing power alone, it should be able to monitor almost every camera in the world, but they got too much wrong information in just one week. Obviously, even the internal of the secret party is not a monolithic entity. Someone is secretly helping Lu Mingfei escape the pursuit of Kassel Academy. At the same time, there should be information threats from the outside world, such as Kaguya of the Snake Eight Clan.

Without being able to fully call on the Sky Eye, the secret party can get very little information. They can't accurately locate Lu Mingfei or even determine where he is active. Is he in the United States? Or in China? Norma can't find him, and the academy can't find him either.

"Where is our think tank? Lu Mingfei left Tokyo with Uesugi Eri. Isn't there any inference about where he might go? The place where they disappeared was at the intersection of Kanagawa and Tokyo. The only place they could go was Tokyo Bay."

As the only person who had to stand to attend the meeting, Professor Schneider was obviously stunned.

"Everyone here should have read Lu Mingfei's personal information more than once. After entering Kassel Academy, he quickly grew into a leader of the younger generation. He killed the second generation in Kuimen, Sanxia, ​​killed Norton in Six Flags Amusement Park in Chicago, repelled Odin in CC1000 Express, killed the King of the Earth and the Mountain in the Beijing subway, not to mention that he recently ended Herzog who stole the power of the White King." Professor Schneider said, "We really can't imagine what his motives are for betraying us, and we don't know if he has any goals when he is on the run."

The elders fell silent again.

In fact, the possibility of Lu Mingfei's betrayal is as high as that of Ange's choice to join the dragon clan. His hands are stained with the blood of dragons, and his feet are on the remains of more than one throne. What position does he have to choose to stand with the dragon?

"Our topic is not to discuss whether Lu Mingfei is guilty, but how to hunt him down." It was Pompey Gattuso, who had not spoken, who broke the silence. "Wake up EEVA, update the supercomputer, and send more specialists to arrest Lu Mingfei worldwide."

"But after losing the help of the supercomputer, how should we find the super dragon slayer who wants to hide himself in the vast sea of ​​people?" Charlotte rang the bell.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget how difficult it was for us to chase the smell of dragon blood, just to kill a dragon that crawled out of the grave and follow it from Europe to Asia!" Pompey said loudly,

"We are born stronger than humans. We can crush the dragons in their former glory without artificial intelligence and muskets. Everyone here can run faster than Bolt, swim farther than Phelps, and have nerve reaction speeds that beat gymnastics world champions. Even traditional martial arts, boxing and swordsmanship can surpass world-class athletes who have practiced for more than 20 years. If we lose everything we have now, can we no longer fight against darkness? Have you forgotten the blood of our ancestors?"

"I have to correct you, Mr. Gattuso. Lu Mingfei is definitely not what we want. The darkness of the struggle, his name in the long history of slaying dragons is enough to shine through all the history before and thousands of years after. "Lady Laurent raised her thin eyebrows slightly, "Besides, the times are different. When our predecessors slayed dragons all over the world, there were no planes or ships on the earth. Even if the dragon wanted to escape too far, it was impossible. But now the world has changed. Lu Mingfei may still be in Hong Kong today, and appear in San Francisco on the other side of the world tomorrow. Even if each of us is Spider-Man, it is impossible to catch him. "

"But in addition, we also control more than 50% of the countries Political and economic lifelines, every giant organization in the world that dominates the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people and is closely related to them, including but not limited to the World Bank, the World Wildlife Fund, the World Trade and Health Organization, and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, etc., has branches established by our hybrid organization and senior leaders who can take charge of decisive matters. "Pompeii spread his hands in an even lazy manner,

"It can be said without hesitation that the whole world is like a shaky moth that is completely unaware that it is about to fall into the nightmare of the web that we have been tirelessly weaving for hundreds of years. And The leader-level mixed-race organization that commands all this is called the Secret Party. We use the half-dead and half-lush world tree as a symbol to spread dense tentacles of power to the whole world, just like the holy rainbow snake god who can manipulate the tides and water sources in the eyes of the natives. They usually live in the ancient holy springs. If they are stimulated by the residual menstrual blood of the girl, they will immediately crawl out of the cave to stir up trouble. If the sinner appears in the local area, he will be swallowed by the cruel snake god and will never be reborn. "

"We can't use all our strength to search for Lu Mingfei!" Lady Laurent stood up suddenly, frowned, and looked down at Pompeii's eyes.

"I'm afraid you have to do this, Lady Laurent." Pompeii smiled and slowly straightened up.

He sat down, leaned back slightly, and leaned on the wide chair back. The beam of light falling from the dome just covered him. This scene was like an emperor in the dark sitting up silently, looking down at the helpless traitors in the court with mockery.

Everyone saw what Pompeii Gattuso had on his chest.

It was a badge, black, symbolizing the ultimate power of the secret party, the World Tree badge.

Not long ago, Pompey used the unparalleled alchemical matrix to make the whole world forget everything that happened in Tokyo, and all the logical and causal loopholes were filled in by the natural disaster.

As a price, Pompey became the leader of the secret party.

Now, he is the emperor.

"Now, stop all unnecessary actions and tasks, and put all your strength into the pursuit of Lu Mingfei." Pompey said softly, so softly, but so cold,

"He can kill the Dragon King, why haven't you thought that he may be the end of this world?"

——

At the same time, far away in China, Mr. Zhongyan was stamping his feet in the snow wrapped in a down jacket. The strong wind made the man's hairstyle quite sloppy, and it looked like a small nest casually set up by some birds.

Su Xiaoqiang held a class reunion in her villa.

Lu Mingfei was waiting downstairs for Ling and Eri to pick him up.

Oh, the two girls went to the hair salon to get their hair done.

Without Lu Mingfei.

According to Eri, it was to give him a surprise.

But I guess I'll be thankful as long as it's not a shock... Lu Mingfei thought. (End of this chapter)
