If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

The red Porsche 911 was parked on the roadside in the suburbs of the coastal city.

The privacy-protecting window slowly lowered, and Lin Nian looked out. His eyes fell on the abandoned hospital building standing on the wasteland across the street. The walls visible to the naked eye were all devastated, with a combination of blue-green and yellowish walls. The exposed water pipes have long been rusty, revealing the desolation of no one everywhere.

The engine was turned off, and the screen of the mobile phone placed in the glove compartment lit up without anyone touching it. It was an unknown transoceanic call. Usually nine out of ten calls received from such numbers were scam calls, but Lin Nian didn't think so. Without looking, I picked it up and connected it. I turned on the hands-free and put it on the car phone holder.

"Hello?" A familiar hoarse voice sounded on the other side of the phone, as if there was sandpaper in his throat instead of his vocal cords.

"I have arrived at the location you gave me." Lin Nian said.

"Where's the target?" the other party asked.

"I didn't see Chu Zihang's shadow. Are you sure he disappeared in this area?"

"You are questioning the accuracy of the Enforcement Department's intelligence."

"No, I never question whether the information is accurate." Lin Nian paused, "I just question whether your information is too accurate. Even students who disappeared during the summer vacation can be accurately located. This is not easy to do." It makes me wonder if the executive department has installed locators on every student."

"You're paranoid." On the other end of the phone, Von Schneider, director of the executive department of Kassel College, said calmly, "Perform your tasks seriously. If you usually don't do so much, you may be tired of the comfortable life during the summer vacation. Are you doing the work of the execution department?”

"I'm just tired of the 'daily' life at school. You should know that after this mission, I have to write at least two thousand more words in the 'daily' report. Plus the mission report from the execution department is enough to give me a headache. ." Lin Young sighed softly, "I have to go out to eat this afternoon."

"Let's discuss the date with the girl another day. Do you think it is more important to do the tasks of the execution department or to accompany the girl to dinner?" Standing in the central control room, under the blue earth projection, Schneider looked up at the connected screen and asked coldly road.

"." There was no answer from the other end of the line.

The central control room fell into an eerie silence.

The commissioners running back and forth in the control room and the people sitting in front of the screen couldn't help but prick up their ears while working. Normally, no one would talk to Schneider for more than ten sentences. No one had ever dared to talk to the executive department like this. The minister complained, and now they happened to meet a tough guy. Everyone knew who the tough guy was, and couldn't help but wait for a good show.

"Talk," Schneider said.

"talk."

".Was it because I was too gentle before, or are you in the rebellious stage?"

On the other end of the phone, on the other side of the ocean, Lin Nian looked up at the roof of the red sports car with a complicated expression. It was not that he was rebellious or tired of the work of the execution department, but that he really had something important to do tonight. It’s not just as simple as eating with a girl, but eating with the girl’s parents!

He glanced at a piece of beautifully wrapped birthday cake and a certain baseball cap placed on the passenger seat, and sighed silently.

Seeing the silence on the other side, Schneider's intact muscles on the side of his face twitched, and he asked again, "Or do you think the matter of Chu Zihang's disappearance can be put aside for the time being."

"Minister, I have always been curious about why Chu Zihang disappeared inexplicably. When Norma was assigning emergency tasks and describing the content, she thought that Norma had confused Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei. After all, we both live in the same house. In the same city." Lin Nian leaned on his seat and said, "You are his instructor, you should know how dangerous he is, and I have never understood how you knew that Chu Zihang was missing."

"Do you think the execution department is monitoring Chu Zihang?" Schneider understood Lin Nian's implication and asked coldly.

"I think the content of this phone call will be recorded by Norma, so I'd better not say anything nonsense." Lin Nian said, "This is a matter of trust. You are Chu Zihang's instructor. I think you know what's going on." interests."

Schneider did not speak. The current connection was directly transmitted to the entire central control room. The topic of trust was never something that could be discussed on the table.

"You don't need to answer this question for me. I'll leave some words for you to say to your own students. He is not the kind of person who doesn't ask questions. If he has questions in his heart, he will always figure it out on his own." Lin Young voice said.

Schneider was silent for a while on the other end of the phone and then said, "Chu Zihang disappeared while performing a mission."

"Task?"

"Investigating the existence of an illegal mulatto organization in the form of a high-end club in your city."

"Is it our city again?" Lin Nian frowned.

"It is most likely that due to the impact of the last Pearl Tower incident, many mixed-race species have paid attention to this place, thinking that there are a large number of their compatriots here."

"Mixed races are attracted to each other. Blood Mourning will make them feel lonely in the society of ordinary people. Loneliness will inevitably lead to gatherings. Mixed race gatherings will always bring about bad events. Especially a group of dangerous characters who don’t even know their origins and identities." Schneider said slowly.

"Now your city has been heavily monitored by Norma. Fortunately, we have two 'S'-level, two 'A'-level students and one instructor stationed in the city, so if something happens The situation is that you will be the target of the first assigned mission."

"The person assigned this time is Chu Zihang."

"The mission was issued three days ago. He needs to find the club organization's lair, and then report it to the execution department and other dedicated personnel for processing. It is an intelligence detection mission."

"Intelligence detection mission." Lin Nian bit the word with interest.

"His spirit is not suitable for cleaning up the city." Schneider said lightly.

If Chu Zihang is allowed to complete such a high-risk task alone, there is probably no need to worry about whether he can succeed. The real problems are the large-scale blasting and the aftermath of the fire.

The spirit of Jun Yan is no longer what it used to be. When Chu Zihang first used Jun Yan, it was at most a humanoid grenade arsenal. However, after experiencing two battles between the Bronze King and the Fire King, this kid always felt that As if he has realized something, Yan Ling's development speed has skyrocketed. Last time, he even melted through the three-meter-thick bronze plate used by the equipment department for testing. Behind his back, he began to have "Norton, known as Xiao Chu Zihang" 'This is such a playful joke.

Coupled with the violent blood skills and Chu Zihang's own fighting talent, it can be said that even if he accidentally bumped into a newly awakened dragon king while walking on the street, this guy would rush towards Murasame without blinking an eyelid, and he would not be able to defeat him. Maybe you can escape. It was almost impossible for such a ruthless character to 'disappear' in the hands of a group of third-rate hybrids. No wonder Lin Nian was so surprised.

"Then why don't you let me go?" Lin Nian thought for a moment and asked, "In Norma's logic, shouldn't I be the most suitable person to carry out this kind of task?"

Schneider did not answer the question and responded with silence. Lin Nian paused for a while and fell silent.

Since the end of the Battle of the King of Bronze and Fire, the Execution Department has basically not sent any tasks to Lin Nian. In other words, the entire Execution Department seems to have lost the character Lin Nian. No matter what urgent tasks it is, they have actively bypassed it. Lin Nian was delegated to other people to deal with it. For those who didn't know, there were rumors that the 'S' class was seriously injured after facing Norton in the Yangtze River and needed to be repaired. As a result, dormitory 303 would receive messages from students every now and then. Lin Nian could only respond with a letter of condolences and fruit gifts, and stayed up all night with Su Xiaoqiang to write a reply, while Fingel happily ate the fruits and snacks.

All in all, the Executive Department has been treating Lin Nian coldly for a long time, saying that it was for self-cultivation and recuperation after the Dragon King Battle, but in fact no one knows what the Executive Department or the higher ups have in mind.

From this point of view, Lin Nian, the 'S' class, has been put on hold. He and his sister have been living in Su Xiaoqiang's empty villa with a large room throughout the summer to cultivate themselves. Lu Mingfei, the 'S' class, has been busy talking to his aunt recently. He works as a handyman at home and has an 'A' grade. Su Xiaoqiang took liberal arts as an elective in the college. He followed the academic research route and did not meet the requirements of the executive department. In the end, it seemed that only Chu Zihang, an 'super A' grade, was the most suitable. .

"Forget it. I'll know what's going on when I find Chu Zihang." Lin Nian didn't want to say more, "Let Norma send his location to my mobile phone's GPS positioning."

"He is less than 500 meters away from you. Let me see what's going on at the scene." Seeing that Lin Nian was finally willing to get to the point, Schneider stopped talking nonsense.

Lin Nian took a baseball cap from the custom-made cake on the passenger chair and put it on his head. He raised his hand to adjust and open the camera hidden on the brim of the hat, and used a 3G video call to connect to Norma's local server in the coastal city.

The first thing that appeared in the central control room was a steering wheel with the gold, red and black patterns of Porsche's prancing horse printed on it. Standing under the big screen, Schneider glanced up at the screen with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows slightly raised and then lowered, and he probably thought snorted 'young man'.

"Don't get me wrong, it's not my car, it's Su Xiaoqiang's coming-of-age gift from her father." Lin Nian said, reading Schneider's thoughts like a tapeworm in his stomach.

The term "returning home in glory" is too far away for Lin Nian. Everyone has a different definition of hometown. Perhaps only he knows what is hometown to him.

"Why do you need to explain to me?" Schneider said expressionlessly, "That's not the point. Norma has already sent you the specific location. Get out of the car and rush there quickly."

"Received." Lin Nian replied.

He closed his eyes, opened them after a few seconds, then opened the car door and walked out. The afternoon sun shone brightly on his neck. This white baseball cap was worn just right. He pressed the car key for a long time. After locking the car, I adjusted the brightness of the phone screen to the highest level, and as expected, a new, motionless red dot appeared on the GPS positioning.

Lin Nian raised his head and looked in the direction of the red dot, which happened to be the abandoned hospital. "That's where Chu Zihang got stuck? I'm afraid no one can stop him in such a remote place, right?"

In the central control room, Schneider held his hands and slightly touched his chin as he looked at the abandoned hospital building. Lin Nian was indeed right. This kind of environment is the favorite environment of the enforcement department. Smart criminals will choose to hide in busy cities. , and those who are more stupid will run to remote places. The more remote they run, the more miserable their death will be, because this means that the commissioner who is chasing him can change his weapon from a Glock pistol to a large-caliber gadget newly developed by the equipment department. Son is on.

"Chu Zihang's last report to Norma before he disappeared was that he found a clue about the organization." Schneider said, "The clue was a person, and he thought that as long as he found this person, he could get information about the hybrid organization. "

"Does he think the person he is looking for is hiding in a place like this?" Lin Nian asked, "Is he a fugitive?"

"No." Schneider said, "The person he was looking for disappeared one step ahead of time. He used profiling technology to study the living habits of the person through video connection. After learning that the reason for her disappearance was kidnapping, , and found this place step by step along the clues.”

"He was involved in another incident." Lin Nian walked toward the abandoned hospital with his head facing the sun, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans that were cool and breathable.

"Aren't you armed?" Schneider suddenly noticed Lin Nian's cool and over-the-top attire and asked.

"Oh, wait, it's been too long since I've been on a mission, I forgot." Lin Nian stopped and turned back toward the red sports car on the side of the road.

Schneider sighed softly in the central control room. He knew that Lin Nian was calmly knocking on the execution department to express his dissatisfaction with being treated coldly during this period. But in this case, how could he, as the head of the execution department, click on it? Come out.

Lin Nian opened the door and reached over to the passenger side of the exquisitely packaged cake. He took out the plastic cake-cutting knife provided by the merchant from the hanging plastic bag, gestured to the air and rubbed it with his fingertips. He clicked the serrations on it, finally nodded with satisfaction and kicked it into the pocket of his jeans.

Many people in the central control room saw this scene, but no one showed any disbelief or shock. Even Schneider was used to it. Everyone knew that the man in the video was a ruthless person who could throw rocks and explode sound barriers to achieve the power of bullets. , holding a plastic knife is already considered a suppression of ordinary people or third-rate mixed-race species.

After all, anything in the form of a 'knife' is going to be bloody. As long as the object being chopped down by an 'S'-class hand is a human being, there is no difference between a plastic knife and an alchemy sword.

"There is less blood, and even if you do see it, do it beautifully." Schneider said, "Don't make a big fuss. This is my only request. The people above don't want anything to happen to you."

"Copy that." Lin Nian paused and said calmly after hearing the hidden meaning of Schneider's words.

He closed the car door again, turned to look at the abandoned hospital across the street, patted the buttocks of his jeans and walked over in the sunshine.
