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

The door of Room 1203 of the InterContinental Hotel in Chicago was pushed open hard, and the heavy electronic security door hit the wall. The built-in viewing fish tank in the living room made ripples, and several Japanese koi fish floated up in fright and stirred up a circle. circle bubble.

"There's something really wrong!" Before the room card could power on, Shao Nanqin's irritable voice sounded in the darkness.

"Okay, okay, don't be too angry. I'm not even angry. Why are you angry?" Shao Nanyin's comfort followed closely.

Then there was the pleasant sound of powering on after the room card was inserted into the card slot. The light illuminated the whole room. Shao Nanqin walked quickly into the living room, picked up the suitcase in his hand and threw it hard on the sofa. The sofa with excellent spring effect directly The suitcase bounced up and was about to hit Shao Nanqin's feet next to the sofa. Shao Nanyin, who was three steps behind him, reached out and grabbed the heavy bottom of the suitcase.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Shao Nanyin placed the suitcase safely on the ground with a helpless expression. "The plane couldn't take off normally and we were left in Chicago. Am I not the most depressed person?"

Shao Nanqin sat on the sofa with a bored look on his face: "I've been banned from flying by the airline!"

"Why am I not so surprised? Who told you to take that guy's cigar? What would the stewardess and the captain who came over think when they saw a lit cigar in each of your hands?" Shao Nanyin raised his forehead, "In this situation If the airline is held accountable, it can go to court directly to sue us, but fortunately the situation was not that bad at the time."

She recalled the scene on the flight that was so angry and funny. Shao Nanqin tried his best to explain that he did not smoke on the plane, but the man in the floral shirt next to her patted his chest very "righteously" and said that he was responsible for everyone's work, and cigars were He gave it to this lady. He really didn’t know that smoking is not allowed in the economy class, because he usually flies on private planes. Let alone smoking, he has no problem smoking leaves. So it has nothing to do with this lady. What is the punishment? Come at him!

With a perfect speech, Shao Nanqin and the man with the same shirt were kicked out of the airport by the security guards. Shao Nanyin couldn't leave this mess and ignored him and flew away, so he had no choice but to follow Shao Nanqin off the plane and return to the hotel. .

Fortunately, the bank reservation at the hotel meant that the room would be settled for seven days at once, and they could not check out or need to check out. They were not reduced to a situation where they had to find a hotel in Chicago at one or two in the middle of the night.

"There's something really wrong with that man! Why would he take a plane after drinking so much!" Shao Nanqin got angry when she thought of the pencil mustache in the flowered shirt. Her temper was relatively good, and she was actually being raped by a stranger she had never met before. A person can get a hairy day in less than ten minutes.

Until when leaving the airport, the flower shirt discovered that there was Shao Nanyin next to Shao Nanqin. His excitement level more than doubled. He chased Shao Nanqin's butt with saliva and asked for his contact information. If Shao Nanqin hadn't fallen out, that guy would probably chase them both. When the person arrived at the hotel, it was Shao Nanyin who accepted the other person's business card with a smile, and then ran away.

"There are all kinds of people in this world, don't miss him, think about what to do next." Shao Nanyin continued to comfort.

"What should I do? I've been put on the no-fly list by the airline, don't I have to go back by boat?" Shao Nanqin looked desperate.

"You are just banned from flying by United Airlines. Just find another airline." Shao Nanyin took out his mobile phone and started searching on the spot. After a moment, he frowned slightly, "The fastest one is only the one in the early morning of the day after tomorrow." Yes, the air tickets to return to China tomorrow have been booked."

"What should we do?" Shao Nanqin was stunned for a moment.

"." Shao Nanyin did not answer Shao Nanqin, but just looked at the phone without saying a word.

"Alas, it's still my fault." Seeing Shao Nanyin's dazed look, Shao Nanqin realized that it was Shao Nanyin who should be worried most now and not himself, so he couldn't help but started to feel sorry for himself in a low voice, "I shouldn't have made trouble for that guy. .”

"Sister, it's not your problem, don't think too much." Shao Nanyin shook his head and took out a business card from his pocket.

The business card is paper, a fussy bone white, with a Greek union font and tasteful thickness. It has a phone number printed in the upper left corner, 'Morgan Group' printed in the upper right corner, and a name in the center, Vrai Veer. Weir), with the title of Vice President underneath.

The size and taste of a person's business card are like the perfume on a woman, or the cologne on a man's collar. It can be seen that the identity of the man in the floral shirt is indeed not simple, so the Royal Oak on his wrist is probably genuine.

Shao Nanyin also opened the browser on his mobile phone and searched for 'Morgan Group'. Google popped up the official website of this group. After a cursory glance, he found that this is indeed a large and even influential multinational investment company. Banks and financial services companies, whose main businesses include investment banking, asset management, private banking and private wealth management, etc.

Vrai Veer, that annoying flowered shirt, is the vice president of this group, and the chairman above is William Veer. Looking at the photo, he is a dignified Jewish old man in his fifties. It is not difficult to guess the relationship between the flowered shirt and this old man. It is understandable to think that such a frivolous person can have the position of vice president. The cruise party he told Shao Nanqin when he was bragging is probably true.

It's just such a second-generation playboy who got off the cruise ship on Lake Michigan because of a bet and happened to make it to the last flight from Chicago to Shanghai of the day, and accurately sat next to Shao Nanqin, and because of alcohol Lighting a cigar caused Shao Nanqin to be implicated and kicked off the plane. What are the chances of such a coincidence?

Coincidence cannot be completely used to characterize this matter. A more accurate adjective is "accident". Is it really necessary to encounter an accident at this juncture? What are the chances that the accident was accidental, and what are the chances that it was intentional?

But there is no point thinking about it now. Shao Nanyin and Shao Nanqin have returned to the hotel and are standing in the living room. Everything is a done deal.

"Sister, you didn't tell her our hotel address, did you?" Shao Nanyin asked softly, flipping the bone-colored business card with his fingers.

"Definitely not!"

"." Shao Nanyin lowered her eyes and flipped the business cards in her hand faster. She was recalling the situation when she came back along the way, and carefully thought and felt about the current situation and situation.

The living room was quiet, so quiet that Shao Nanqin also noticed something strange about his sister. When she was about to ask, Shao Nanyin stopped what he was doing, raised his head and stared at Shao Nanqin, his eyes focused.

"What's wrong?" Shao Nanqin asked.

"No, it's nothing." Shao Nanyin retracted his gaze and said, "Forget about this matter, just treat it as an accident. We will stay in Chicago for a day tomorrow and leave by plane in the early morning."

"Do you have to stay in Chicago for a day tomorrow?"

"Well, just one day."

"Can I go ride the roller coaster tomorrow?"

"roller coaster?"

"Su Xiaoqiang and I made an appointment to go to Six Flags Roller Coaster Amusement Park tomorrow."

"Did you exchange contact information with each other?" Shao Nanyin suddenly raised his head.

"We exchanged phone numbers while we were sunbathing." Shao Nanqin nodded, "What's wrong?"

Shao Nanyin saw the phone number on the mobile phone that Shao Nanqin took out, and his pupils narrowed a little, "Don't tell me that you also told her the location of our hotel."

Shao Nanqin froze on the spot and watched as his whole body suddenly tensed up, like a cat that entered a hunting state in the early morning. Shao Nanyin hesitated: "Is this serious?"

"So have you told her which hotel we are staying in?" Shao Nanyin asked, staring at Shao Nanqin closely.

"I should" Shao Nanqin paused and recalled.

—

"InterContinental Hotel Chicago, Room 1203." Su Xiaoqiang said.

"Are you sure this is the right address?"

"That's right, I was afraid that I wouldn't remember it, so I entered it in the notepad on my phone." Su Xiaoqiang raised his phone, and a string of English addresses were entered in the notepad on the screen. The recorded time was today's noon.

Late at night, the room at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Chicago was brightly lit. Several people were standing or sitting on the sofa around the coffee table. During the day, except for Xia Wang, Su Xiaoqiang, Xia Mi, Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei and Lin Nian were all there at this time. They gathered together and looked at the string of addresses on the screen of Su Xiaoqiang's mobile phone. Everyone's expressions were a little serious, without the relaxation and enjoyment of the previous vacation.

"Well, I have a question." Xia Mi, who was sitting in the corner of the sofa, raised his right hand.

"We're not in class now. You don't have to raise your hands if you want to speak." Lin Nian glanced at her and said calmly.

"Okay, then I'll ask directly." Xia Mi simply put down her hand and looked at Lin Nian and said seriously, "Is the matter we are discussing now really something that I, a freshman who has not yet entered school, can participate in?"

"Are you referring to the gathering of people in the hotel room late at night, or are you referring to the fact that Lin Nian's childhood sweetheart may be a mutant species lurking in human society, and we are discussing how to deal with her?" Su Xiaoqiang put down her mobile phone.

"I guess it's both?" Xia Mi looked left and right, and found that no one's expressions changed much. They were all as solemn as their parents who had just died.

"As long as you sign the Abraham Bloodline Contract, it means you have officially entered the secret party organization. Slaying the dragon is the mission of every secret party member, including the freshmen who have not yet officially entered school." Chu Zihang said softly, "After all, because of Among the various reasons for delaying enrollment reports due to accidents, delaying enrollment due to encountering something related to the Dragon Clan during enrollment is the only reason that is not subject to any punishment. If you encounter it and choose to ignore it instead, you will be punished by the secret party. If you are serious, you will be judged by King Solomon, who will question your firmness to the human camp."

"Doesn't this appear to be a bit too much of a capital squeeze?" Xia Mi was a little surprised by the discipline of the secret party, "Should the school directors be hung up as street lights?"

"School directors are indeed the leaders of capitalism." Su Xiaoqiang said, "Usually those who are hung up on the street are those who are neither good nor bad."

"It's not common to meet dragon-related things in daily life." Chu Zihang glanced at Xia Mi, "But sometimes you just meet it."

"Just like now." Su Xiaoqiang sighed.

"It sounds like what an unscrupulous boss said: 'We don't often work overtime here, but when we do, we do.'" Xia Mi couldn't help but hold his forehead.

After a moment, she put down her hand and suddenly turned to look at Lu Mingfei, "Let me confirm again. Senior Brother Mingfei."

"Here." Lu Mingfei, who was distracted, was excited.

"We are not in class now, so you don't need to be polite when I call you by name, Senior Brother Mingfei." Xia Mi humorously repeated Lin Nian's previous words.

"I mean, I'm here." Lu Mingfei came back to his senses and looked at the gazes around him.

"Brother, are you really sure what you saw at noon today was that kind of thing?" Xia Mi asked.

"I" Lu Mingfei paused for a moment. After seeing Lin Nian's calm eyes looking at him, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "If the 'that kind of thing' you are talking about refers to the Dragon Clan, I'm sure."

"This is really true." Xia Mi finally accepted this unacceptable fact, "I just can't believe that the first dragon I met in my life would appear next to me in this form!"

Shao Nanqin and Shao Nanyin, a pair of twin sisters who played volleyball on the beach during the day, Lu Mingfei actually insisted that the younger sister, Shao Nanyin, was a real dangerous mutant!

"Dragons can consciously control their own form, so they can easily lurk among us. The saying 'dragons are born with nine appearances and have nine different appearances' mentioned in "Erya Wings" means that dragons can appear in any appearance. In this world, they are like lions, deers, and whales, running on the ground, hiding in the forest, and diving in the sea. But when the nine phases are reunited in the end, that is their true appearance, their original appearance." Chu Zihang said slowly .

"You should be lucky. What you saw was her changed appearance, which is also the most acceptable appearance to us. Once you see her other appearance, there will only be one survivor left." Lin Nian sat on the sofa. On the edge of the handrail, while speaking, he turned his head and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the cluster of buildings standing like stars in the late night sky in Chicago.

"It seems that there is a reason why the twins are so similar." Chu Zihang said, "It was mentioned in the "Dragon Genealogy" course that dragons are hidden among humans, and the most common one is 'impersonation'. "Replacement," kills the original individual, then changes into the individual's appearance and fills it in society, becoming a false-colored gear. At some point, the gear reverses and collapses the entire sophisticated machine system."

"But she chose the second variant of disguise. She chose to be parasitic on the human body 'Shao Nanqin', using her social identity as a cover to paralyze the surrounding vision. When others mentioned her, their first reaction would not be 'Excellent weirdo', but 'Shao Nanqin's excellent sister', using normality to cover up abnormalities, and ordinary extremes to cover up extreme abnormalities." Lin Nian turned back and his eyes fell on everyone, his hands gently clasped together Together, they tapped their fingers on the back of their hands.

"But why does it have to be 'Shao Nanqin'? If you want to choose something ordinary, wouldn't it be better to choose something more ordinary and completely unobtrusive?" Su Xiaoqiang asked. Her point of view is easy to understand, that is, Shao Nanqin is a natural beauty. When another 'Shao Nanyin' appears again, it will attract the attention of others.

"I know this." Xia Mi raised his hand, "It's the same as "Transformers"."

"Good." Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but say.

"What do you mean?" Su Xiaoqiang was a little confused, "I'm not a fan of science fiction movies."

"What he means is that dragons are like Cybertronians. The first thing they do when they land on Earth is to scan for inorganic objects, which are large steel vehicles. The most common ones are cars, so Cybertronians also Call him the Autobot." Lin Nian explained to his girlfriend.

"You see, when Pillar (Optimus Prime) landed, didn't he stand on the embankment for a long time before he selected the cool King of Trucks, 'Western Star 5700XE'? Didn't you see that Pillar was really passing by everywhere? Oil tanker or Wuling Hongguang or something." Lu Mingfei complained.

"Wuling Hongguang is a domestically produced car and will not appear in Los Angeles." Lin Nian said.

"Senior Brother Lin Nian, are you going to follow the trend? I thought you, like Senior Brother Chu, were a cold-blooded character with no mouth, at most you didn't have a face and a girlfriend!" Xia Mi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Nian, feeling as if he was watching What a monster.

"I" Chu Zihang, who was cueed, spoke, and then he noticed that Xia Mi shook his head and looked at him with bright eyes, as if he was ready to refute what he was about to prove himself.

"I have watched "Transformers", and I watched it with my stepfather and mother, so I probably know what you are talking about." Chu Zihang still decided to clear his name.

"It scared me to death. I thought you wanted to say that you are also a funny character, senior brother." Xia Mi breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Zihang was speechless, but he noticed that Xia Mi was peeking at him with a smile on his lips, and he finally understood that this girl was simply teasing him.

He didn't know what to say, so he remained silent.

"It's not very strange for dragons to select the individual 'Shao Nanqin'." Su Xiaoqiang brought the topic back, gently pressing the back of her hand against her chin, "The strange thing is why she lurked around 'Shao Nanqin' for so long. Her What is the purpose?"

She looked at Lin Nian and asked: "Lin Nian, I remember you said that in your impression, they had appeared as twins in that orphanage since childhood, right? After decades of lurking, that one What are dragons trying to figure out? It’s like if dragons want to embed themselves into a machine in the form of gears and destroy it efficiently after figuring out how it operates, then wouldn’t they directly choose the children of political figures or rich men to replace them or become parasitic? Get twice the result with half the effort?”

After hearing Su Xiaoqiang's question, Lin Nian was about to say something, but he paused for a moment. He sat on the edge of the sofa and stared at Su Xiaoqiang's gaze in trance.

Su Xiaoqiang was about to call him, but suddenly he seemed to realize something. There was a trace of annoyance and regret in his eyes, and he quickly said, "Don't forget those questions just now. The most important thing now is the truth of this information. Once it is true, we will definitely Action needs to be taken, we need a decisive, final signal."

"Inform Norma and report to the college?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Then you have to do this." Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei and said seriously, "After all, you were the first to discover the anomaly."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head: "Okay."

"What would happen if we lied about military information?" Xia Mi suddenly asked.

"Deduct credits, or stay for review and punishment." Chu Zihang replied.

"Okay, now that we are sitting here and discussing this matter seriously, there is no need to question Lu Mingfei's judgment." Lin Nian finally spoke.

He gradually returned to his state from being distracted just now, withdrew his sight and fell on Lu Mingfei, "Lu Mingfei's unique mental observation of the spiritual language 'lunar eclipse', in the tenth year of 'Ling Ling Xue' The professor team composed of two professors conducted a total of 183 tests in various aspects and environments, and through Norma recording and correction, the final accuracy rate was 99%."

"What about the remaining 1%?" Xia Mi asked subconsciously.

"He made a mistake in the high-pressure test environment. He told the wrong observation information. After the professor team confirmed it twice, the accuracy was actually 100%. But in the end, the professors may have felt that in the culture of the Dragon Clan, , perfection is not a good thing, or there are more considerations, so in Norma's information database file, the word spirit 'lunar eclipse' once successfully observes dragons and dragon blood people, the information obtained is accurate The rate is a relatively conservative 99%, not 100%.”

Lin Nian calmly told Lu Mingfei a huge secret that few people in Kassel College knew: Word Spirit·Lunar Eclipse.

This is a new word spirit that the professors summarized for this method after Lu Mingfei showed considerable 'detection methods' in the 'Constantine Annihilation War' and the 'Bronze Project', a new word spirit that can update the periodic table of word spirits. A brand new word spirit that has never been discovered before.

The name 'lunar eclipse' is derived from Lu Tong's "Lunar Eclipse Poetry": "The emperor and the sky want to recognize things, and the sun and the moon are metamorphosis. Walking in the sky, working hard on the four bodies, making eyes with the sky and walking in the light... When you can see the eye of the sky again, Feeling the power of heaven and earth."

The ancients said that the sun and the moon are the eyes of the sky. The professor group unanimously believes that Lu Mingfei's mutated word spirit mainly acts on the retinal nerves, that is, the spiritual word spirit that focuses on the mutation of the eyeballs, and can see through the pheromones of Dragon King-level targets. , it is not an exaggeration to call Lu Mingfei’s eyes the eyes of the sky.

There are also a few words in the Binghai Fragments describing the dragon eyes of the black and white emperors as 'solar eclipse' and 'lunar eclipse'. The vastness of the sun and moon is used to refer to the supreme vision of the black and white emperors. In their pupils, , the people with dragon blood walking all over the world no longer have any secrets to speak of. They are the sun and moon in the sky, and the light of the sun and moon is the emperor's majesty that spreads across the earth.

The naming of this word spirit can be regarded as a real high hope for Lu Mingfei, an 'S' class. Within Kassel Academy, only a handful of people know about Lu Mingfei's word spirit.

The accuracy rate of enemy intelligence detection is 99%. This data is worthy of the title of 'S' level. The idiom of predicting the enemy's opportunity first was prepared for Lu Mingfei. The remaining 1% of possible errors are reserved for the most extreme situations. Once that situation occurs, there is a high probability that something special and particularly bad will happen.

"Lu Mingfei's words are a signal. If he joins the executive department or is in the academy now, all he needs to say is this, and the entire secret party's dragon-slaying resources will be invested and poured in without reservation at the first time. . As students and preparatory students of Kassel College, we are also one of these resources, so we should also trust his words and be prepared for action." Lin Nian said slowly.

"Damn it, don't brag about me like that." Lu Mingfei was a little shocked. He felt like he was being picked up by Lin Nian. The looks other people looked at him made him feel hot all over. The last time he felt this way, he was an imposter. When the sick Zhao Menghua gave a speech under the national flag.

Chu Zihang glanced at Lin Nian's expression silently, then raised his hand to stop Lu Mingfei's self-effacing words that he might continue to say, and said: "I understand, then all judgments and decisions on the current situation will be based on Lu Mingfei's words. Spiritual results are the benchmark.”

"So, Senior Brother Lin Nian, you just accepted that one of your former childhood sweethearts was a dragon?" Xia Mi still couldn't help but ask one more question.

"Is it difficult to accept?" Lin Nian looked up at her and asked.

"." This time Xia Mi was choked.

"Some things are facts," Lin Nian said. "As long as they happen, they are facts."

The incident first happened in the evening. After playing at the beach, a group of people visited the Chicago Museum as scheduled. Then they stopped by a local steakhouse and stopped at a riverside bar to listen to some live jazz music and have a few drinks. I drank a glass of craft beer and returned to the hotel before twelve o'clock.

That is, when they were supposed to go back to their rooms to sleep, Lin Nian stopped Lu Mingfei in front of everyone and asked him if he had something to tell him.

Because Lin Nian noticed that during the second half of the journey, Lu Mingfei was in an absent-minded state. Others actually noticed it to some extent, but didn't take it seriously. Finally, when Lu Mingfei was about to speak, , Lin Nian asked this question half a step ahead of him.

"That Shao Nanyin might be a dragon." This was Lu Mingfei's exact answer to Lin Nian at that time.

Lin Nian did not ask Lu Mingfei why he was talking about such an important matter now instead of reporting it immediately after Shao Nanqin and Shao Nanyin left.

Naturally, no one asked Lu Mingfei any questions in this regard, but after Lu Mingfei said this, they naturally gave up their rest after a day of fun and took the initiative to gather together with Lin Nian and Su Xiaoqiang. meeting in the room.

If this conference now has a theme, or is named in the format of a book title, it can probably be concluded as:

"Hidden Dragon Bell Annihilation and Conquest Strategy"

"Then what we will discuss next is to hunt down or kill a pair of twins?" Xia Mi took a deep breath. It seemed that for her who was still a newborn, this kind of meeting topic was very exciting.

At this time, Chu Zihang, who was sitting next to her, accidentally saw something about to move from the corner of Xia Mi's peripheral vision, and silently removed the equivalence sign between Xia Mi and the somewhat absent-minded Lu Mingfei beside her - this girl and There is no difference between the elites in Kassel Academy, they are all hidden little lunatics.

"It's to hunt down one of the alien twins." Su Xiaoqiang shook his head, "Our goal must be clear and not to hurt innocent people. Lu Mingfei was right and sensible not to immediately expose the dragon among the twins."

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, just scratched his head.

"Do you think that dragon knows that we are members of the secret party? Or, in other words, does the dragon know that we are hybrids with malicious intentions towards them?" Xia Mi continued to ask.

"It's not entirely clear, but judging from the fact that 'Shao Nanyin' left voluntarily at noon, the situation is not very optimistic." Su Xiaoqiang analyzed what she saw at that time and said, "I personally think she was aware of it, otherwise she wouldn't have So eager to leave, maybe she has heard the name of Kassel College? After all, we mentioned the college at that time."

"No, her expression and reaction when she mentioned the academy are normal. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is disguise. Dragons are extremely good at controlling emotions. The executive department unanimously believes that they are cold-blooded animals." Chu Zihang said, "It should be the latter one. There was a mistake in the chat, which made her aware of our identity and left with an excuse - but now our inference is based on the fact that we know that she is a dragon, or it may be that she is indeed related to us (hybrid species) ) irrelevant other things left."

"Can we judge her thinking mode at that time based on the profile?" Su Xiaoqiang lowered his head and thought for dozens of seconds before suggesting.

"No one among us knows profiling." Chu Zihang said, but he looked at Xia Mi, whom he didn't fully understand.

"I don't understand either." Xia Mi noticed Chu Zihang's gaze and said quickly.

"I can contact Nono." Su Xiaoqiang picked up the phone, "She is a master of profiling. The execution department often asks her to do some profiling work, and she usually sleeps very lightly in the dormitory, so the phone number should be 24/7 It’s open all hours.”

"No, profiling won't work." Lin Nian, who was still thinking about other issues, spoke up and rejected the idea.

"The skill of profiling has always been specialized in the in-depth reproduction of 'human' behavioral patterns, but our target this time is not 'human' but a 100% alien species. Moreover, the profiler of the execution department is It is forbidden to imitate the thinking mode of pure-blooded dragons. Similar things have gone wrong before, and the profiler suffered severe psychological trauma and committed suicide."

"Then who did she chat with? Let's go back and forth based on the result that she realized our identity. The problem is most likely caused by some words in the chat that made her aware." Xia Mi pointed to the core of the problem.

Su Xiaoqiang turned to look at Lin Nian, so everyone looked at Lin Nian.

Lin Nian lowered his head and thought for half a minute, then suddenly thought of something and said, "Maybe it's not the content of the chat."

He took out his mobile phone and pressed it a few times before showing it to everyone. Everyone's eyes fell on a photo on the screen of the mobile phone, which was the photo of Lin Nian and Lin Xian at the school gate.

"This should be the gate of Cassel College, right? Did she recognize the address of Cassel College? Or has she been to Cassel College before?" Xia Mi guessed in a vague way.

"Don't you mean that normal dragons don't know about the existence of Kassel Academy?" Lu Mingfei asked rhetorically.

"It's the school emblem." Chu Zihang's eyes suddenly locked on the World Tree school emblem on the collar of the school uniform, and he came to a sharp conclusion.

"That's it." Su Xiaoqiang immediately realized this little thing.

"School emblem?" Xia Mi also noticed the half-decayed World Tree mark on the collar of the school uniform in the photo, but he didn't quite understand. "You're not afraid of the name and address of the college but you are afraid of the school emblem? Isn't that unreasonable?"

"The name of the academy is only circulated in the world of hybrids. For dragons, they may not understand the meaning of 'Casel Academy', but they are very likely to understand what the emblem of the World Tree symbolizes - hunting The dragon team has enough World Tree badges to represent their identity as hunters, which is also a symbol that dragons fear and hate." Chu Zihang explained something to everyone, mainly the new student Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei Rare knowledge that only members of the executive department know.

"I see. But in that case, wouldn't that dragon have already gone far away?" Xia Mi was startled. "If I were a Jew and saw the '10,000' armband, I could run from East Berlin to Warsaw overnight. That would be a long time. A matter of human life.”

"Junior sister, you seem to have accidentally stepped on our camp from justice to evil." Lu Mingfei complained, "We have never done anything like shooting under the floor. It's all dragons shooting at us from the sky on the ground."

"Can dragons also use machine guns?" Xia Mi was shocked.

"If Yan Ling fired a machine gun, it counts." Lu Mingfei thought of the meteor shower in the Battle of Constantine and couldn't help but shudder.

"Xia Mi's words make sense. She has no reason not to run away. Half a day is enough for her to leave Chicago or even the United States. We have no way of chasing her," Su Xiaoqiang said.

"Maybe she is just suspicious, so she stays away for the time being. If I were a dragon, I would know that excessive behavior would lead to unnecessary alarm. If I were next to a hunter but had no tendency to be exposed for the time being, I would choose to appease the hunter. Consider escaping when you slowly evacuate to a safe distance," Chu Zihang said.

"So now we are completely unsure of the dragon's current situation?" Xia Mi asked.

"There is a way to be sure, and that is to make a phone call." Su Xiaoqiang raised the phone, "I have Shao Nanqin's phone number. Through her, I can check on the situation of the dragon from the side."

Lu Mingfei, who was squatting on the gray wool carpet next to the sofa, felt an inexplicable cold feeling in his heart while listening to the three of them chatting.

Dragon type. Dragon type. Dragon type.

It's really scary. How could a living person, a girl, suddenly turn into a dragon? When it comes to dragons, everyone's words and words are so cold, like the friction sound of the saw teeth biting the blade, which makes people's flesh and blood tremble and their bones ache.

He thought of Old Tang, the cat that died in the cat cage in the apartment, and the starless and moonless night sky in New York that he saw when he walked out of the rental house. The feeling of strangeness and fear, unable to accept the fact but The numbness of stepping on the corpse of fact.

After being in that rental house for so long, he accepted the reality and didn't have much emotional reaction. He didn't even feel intense sadness, but just emptiness. It wasn't until the second night when he went back to his dormitory that he opened the StarCraft game and saw the grayed-out portrait. Tears suddenly filled his face. He ran to the balcony to blow in the wind and cried secretly, for fear of waking him up. of other people.

When you find out that your loved one has died, the moment you get the news, you don’t feel it. It’s not until you see his body and things about him in the past that you know, oh, it turns out he is really dead. Then a spring of sadness came, and every time I touched the scene in the following days, it was a spring. Those emotions seemed to be connected to an endless black underground river, flowing endlessly, ready to burst out at any time and make you burst into tears.

Shao Nanyin, if this girl's true identity is discovered by him, she will most likely die. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe later, but in general, her death will be the time when she is exposed in the eyes of the secret party. The problem is doomed.

Lin Nian also knew about this. Lu Mingfei thought.

He didn't know who Shao Nanyin was to Lin Nian, and what kind of interactions they had in the past few years, but it didn't matter, because Shao Nanyin was already a dead person, so those gushing emotions would definitely come back as expected. Are you coming?

That was the fate he had brought to Lin Nian, a fate that was already destined.

Lu Mingfei tightened his grip on his legs. His vision on the wool blanket was a little out of focus. His peripheral vision fell on the side face of Lin Nian who was sitting on the edge of the sofa. He saw that Lin Nian's expression was the same as usual. Indifferent, calm, so reassuring - just like the numbness on his face, a familiar protective color.

Lu Mingfei was distracted, but the serious and heated discussion continued.

"So wouldn't it be too much to call him directly to test?" Xia Mi reminded.

"Now the snake is in a state of alarm." Su Xiaoqiang said.

"But what do you say when you call me at this time?"

"I don't know, I have no experience of making harassing calls at night." Xia Mi scratched his cheek, "I did receive harassing calls from boys in my class, but I didn't answer them and hung up, otherwise I should be able to Learn some lessons.”

"Lu Mingfei, what do you think?" Su Xiaoqiang thought for a moment and looked at Lu Mingfei sitting on the wool blanket.

"I don't know, you can't ask others if they are asleep? You don't bother harassing the goddess like this, okay? It's no different from the obvious weasel giving New Year greetings to the chicken, right?" Lu Mingfei said subconsciously.

"The main reason I'm asking you is because Chen Wenwen told me that you sent her a message at midnight saying that the stars are beautiful at night, and that you have a math test the next morning." Su Xiaoqiang said seriously, "I think you should have experience .”

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and licked his lips in embarrassment. All the depressed emotions that had originally surged away were washed away by embarrassment.

Su Xiaoqiang sighed, and used a secret rebuke to wake up Lu Mingfei, who was in a daze in the serious meeting, and then continued to talk about business, "If that 'Shao Nanyin' really thinks in the way Chu Zihang speculated, then she should now They are still in Chicago. On the contrary, they have fled far away or even flew directly out of the United States. It doesn't matter if we make this call to alert the snake, but we can use the phone signal to satellite locate the other party's location."

"No, the phone can't be made, at least not now. We have a better way to test it." Chu Zihang raised his hand and rejected the idea of ​​making a call.

"I think the same thing as senior brother." Xia Mi nodded and said, "Can we not make the call or not? We have a better way to handle it."

"Well, I actually didn't really want to call, I just mentioned it casually." Su Xiaoqiang nodded immediately, "The focus of the question has always been that the other party has been slightly aware of our identity. Is it possible for us to still be there now?" Within the scope of the pursuit. Phone testing is the last resort, and we always have better testing methods."

Su Xiaoqiang's eyes fell back on the address in the notepad on the phone screen. Shao Nanqin had told her that they would stay in this hotel if there were no accidents in the past seven days, and they were welcome to visit them at any time.

So, is Shao Nanqin completely ignorant in this matter? A little white rabbit trapped by a dragon? Or is it simply portable fast food and extremely convenient hostage?

Su Xiaoqiang felt a little heavy for no reason.

"At least now we have an address. Although we don't know whether it's true or not, and we don't know the true relationship between the twins, we do have a thread that can carry out effective actions." Chu Zihang looked at the address in Su Xiaoqiang's hand. cell phone, looked at Lin Nian again and said:

"So, what do we do now?"

In the end, Lin Nian is the one who really talks about the issue. Regardless of the execution department, he has always been the core of this small group. Moreover, this matter is closely related to himself. He is the most qualified to make the final decision. Bone character.

Under the gaze of all eyes, Lin Nian raised his head that had been lowered, his eyes reflected everyone in the room, and said:

"We are ready to act."
