In the corridor of the cabin on the second floor of the Monyach, Lin Nian held his hand on the railing and watched the engineering staff busy on the side of the ship. Each of them was a talent recruited from Watt Alheim. Not everyone in the equipment department was Focusing on equipment development, there are always people from other groups.
These team members are often jokingly called non-staff members of the equipment department. They are only a bucket of KFC and a bottle of Happy Water away from full members. What others see is a difference in attitude, but those who really understand see a difference in talent. Sometimes even with an advantage in blood, it is difficult to break into the true core of Watt Alheim.
Those lunatics and madmen in the deepest part of the equipment department are the food rewarded by God. They can't get in just because they want to... But these non-staff personnel are still working hard to prove themselves, appearing in one dangerous mission after another. They are as respectable as the official personnel. Without them, there would be no drilling machine to penetrate the 40-meter rock formation.
The first mate was at the helm in the captain's cabin. Professor Manns, wearing a raincoat, was shouting something loudly in front of the real-time monitoring screen next to the rig. He seemed to be directing the speed and progress of the rig. He was very busy.
Ye Sheng and Ya Ji were sitting on the side of the boat and seemed to be chatting. The storm kept hitting them with waves. Mance said that this would help them mentally prepare for the dive. No one knew whether it would be useful. Lin Nian really wanted to hear what they were talking about, but unfortunately his hearing was not strong enough to hear such distant whispers amid the storm and the roar of machinery.
The lady downstairs was holding the infant baby and watching this scene quietly. The raindrops drew down the curtain in series, and the child called "Key" watched quietly with his jewel-like golden eyes. Those pearly water drops.
"Use my blood to test the 'living creatures' in the Bronze City?" Lin Nian leaned against the guardrail and the raincoat on his body shielded him from the wind and rain, and he had countless thoughts in his mind.
At first, when he woke up from the life-support cabin, his bloodline was indeed uncontrollable. The mutation of the blood was like an evil passive. As long as he was injured, he would be in big trouble. When he was conducting experiments in the ice cellar It was also conducted in isolation in a sealed cabin, and the experimental subjects were cats and dogs. Lin Nian even failed to become an animal friend several times, and his own abnormality was recorded by the principal.
But now it seems that the principal's information is a bit out of date. After all, no one in Cassel College except himself... except himself, no one knows about the blond girl. Ever since the blonde girl woke up, the abnormality on his body has been effectively controlled. This was in response to the self-introduction of the other party when he first met her - "Valve".
But what worries Lin Nian the most now is that the blond girl has disappeared again, but this time she is not missing. After all, her departure is traceable. After asking her to solve the matter of Su Xiaoqiang's 3E exam, this guy never appeared again. Lin Nian had come out to harass Lin Nian. Lin Nian even took the initiative to look for her in the dream of the temple but found nothing.
At the same time, this also represents the disappearance of the "valve". The blood flowing in his veins may have reappeared the evil characteristics due to the precipitation during this period, which actually eliminates the possibility of affecting the plan.
Mance's plan is undoubtedly correct. Even if it cannot be said to be comprehensive or omission-free, there will not be any major problems in the big aspects. Sonar and "Yan Ling Snake" did not capture the movement of living creatures under the rock formation, but why was he still a little flustered now?
Lin Nian never thought that his whim was an illusion. On the contrary, every time this situation occurred, something big would happen. Naturally, it was the same this time, but he didn't know where the "accident" would appear from. Mansi's plan was in his mind After going through it several times in my mind, it was difficult to find any big loopholes. The only variable was that his blood did not attract dragons as expected. Ye Sheng and Yaji were trapped after entering the Bronze City... This situation was terrifying. This is the worst case scenario, I just hope it doesn't happen.
"What are you thinking about?" Behind Lin Nian, a figure walked over from the side of the corridor. Her beautiful face and figure could be seen through the dim light on the deck.
"Professor Jiang Peijiu. I didn't think anything of it. I'm just waiting for the action to begin." Lin Nian looked at her and nodded. He didn't know this woman very well. He had basically met many professors at Cassel College, but this professor seemed to have never been in the school for a few days since he enrolled. They had never met.
"nervous?"
"Don't talk about being nervous before a war. Focus on the mission without having too many unnecessary emotions." Lin Nian said, "Even if you are nervous, you have to hold it in. As a main combatant, showing timidity will damage morale."
"Principal Ange values you very seriously, otherwise he wouldn't have sent me to do the Dragon Vein Feng Shui of the Yangtze River... They were worried that you wouldn't be able to get to the scene in time when the battle happened." Jiang Peijiu said.
"Professor, you seem to have something on your mind." Lin Nian said.
"The Dragon King must be in his palace. Not all geomantic treasures are qualified to bury the Dragon King's cocoon. I'm here to tell you this." Jiang Peijiu said lightly, "This is what Angers wants me to tell you. of."
"Is Norton bound to be sleeping in the Bronze City... If we can be 100% sure, then it is not me who should be moved here, but a nuclear bomb that has been preheated to be activated. Once the hole is drilled, the nuclear bomb will be launched. The Bronze City and the Dragon King's cocoon turned into ashes." Lin Nian sighed.
"If conditions permit, Angers will naturally find nuclear weapons of sufficient yield. He will do anything to slay the dragon. But obviously some things are not allowed." Jiang Peijiu looked at the giants lying prone on both sides of the guardrail. Valley, "Any form of armed attack on the Three Gorges Dam by any armed force will be regarded as a nuclear strike."
"I thought it was just a rumor." Lin Nian paused.
"Then can you afford the gamble?" Jiang Peijiu asked quietly, "Slaying the dragon is to protect humankind's orthodoxy, but before that, a war to destroy humankind was launched... Is it worth it?"
"Besides, this dragon-slaying battle is of great significance, and... it is of great significance to you." She added, "Ange borrowed this thing from me for you."
Lin Nian watched as Jiang Peijiu took out a square tray that looked like copper and iron, with one to ten layers, one hundred layers, and one thousand layers engraved on it. The spoon-shaped magnetite was always in the center of the tray, showing the traces of time.
"Si Nan?" Lin Nian took it and looked at it for a few more times before recognizing it.
"The compass cannot identify the direction below, but it may not be impossible... If you really want to activate it, drop a drop of blood into the spoon hole, and the living creatures inside will help you point out the way out." Jiang Peijiu said.
"Living." Lin Nian lowered his head and realized that this thing did not seem to be an antique shelf, but a rare and practical alchemical item.
"For those who eat, the purer the blood of the sacrifice, the higher the satisfaction of the living spirit, and the higher the accuracy... You have not received complete Feng Shui Kanyu training and you cannot understand the symbols above, but you just need to know After you are satisfied, the living spirit will point you in the direction of 'life'." Jiang Peijiu said seriously. "This is a treasure passed down from our family. The secret party has been coveting the authentic Chinese alchemy artifact for a long time, so don't lose it."
"Is the principal so proud?" Lin Nian asked, looking at the alchemical items in his hands.
"It's because you have a lot of face. Your face may be much greater than you think. Now not only the European Secret Party, but also the group of self-proclaimed family inheritances, as well as the domestic 'orthodox' have remembered your name. It's a pity that the 'Lin family's' 'legacy' has been cut off at the Qianling Dragon Tomb. Otherwise, you might have to be called to enter the family tree and enter the 'legacy' just after receiving the notice from Kassel College. ." Jiang Peijiu said lightly.
"'Orthodox'... the 'Secret Party' in China?" Lin Nian said, "It seems that the mixed-race forces in the world are not dominated by the Secret Party."
"'Orthodox' people exist in the form of clan surnames. They marry within the clan or between different races and never marry ordinary people. You are an orphan before you are discovered. Naturally, you will not be discovered by people in the 'orthodox' system. If you meet in the country 'Orthodox' people also avoid conflicts, and reporting their names can save them a lot of trouble," Jiang Peijiu said.
"Are you also from the 'Orthodox'?"
"They are just members of the expelled ethnic group. When they heard that I took away the 'Zhi Tian Yi' (Jiang Peijiu glanced at Si Nan in Lin Nian's hand), he joined the secret party and used Feng Shui to find the dragon's lair for the college. Many people were very angry. You want to fly across the ocean to pierce my pipa bones, and cut me into a 'mortal bone'." Jiang Peijiu smiled and said, "The 'orthodox' views on dragons are different from the Secret Party. They believe that dragon blood is a kind of Stairs that can be climbed. They dig dragon tombs not to slay dragons, but to obtain knowledge and culture of dragons from ancient times. Others think of the bloodline as a curse, but they think of it as 'talent'. Qiongqi spends his whole life studying his own bloodline. , so that in the future we will become the new...dragon clan!"
"'Talent'? Do they think this is cultivating immortality? The real dragon clan has a loud tone. The principal is good-natured for not starting a war with them." Although Lin Nian said this, there didn't seem to be much surprise on his face.
"The ideas of the secret party's school board may not be very different from 'orthodoxy'. Maintaining human orthodoxy is our banner for war, but the exchange of interests behind the banner is another matter. 'Orthodoxy' If you want to become the new Dragon Clan, the secret party may also want to be the only mixed race. We all understand it tacitly, so there is no need to start fighting when the horoscope has not yet been drawn." Jiang Peijiu said with a smile, "Otherwise, it would be just like buying it. A couple who fights and divorces before the lottery is drawn because of uneven pre-distribution of prize money is no different.”
"I am not interested in becoming the new 'Dragon Clan'. If the principal asks you to come here to test my attitude towards 'orthodoxy', I can directly answer that I am not interested, and I will not be interested," Lin Nian said. , "I have accepted Si Nan for the time being, and it can be regarded as accepting it for Ye Sheng and Ya Ji. The situation in Bronze City may be worse than we imagined, and your things may be used."
"Don't lose it, this is the guy I eat with." Jiang Peijiu glanced at Lin Nian and reminded, "Ange only agreed to lend this thing out after he promised me a promise that has been delayed for a long time... Years ago I guess you are half an 'orthodox' person, so lending it to you won't make our ancestors angry from their graves."
"Can I ask more about what the principal promised you?" Lin Nian was very curious about this woman Jiang Peijiu. While asking, he also stuffed the awesome-sounding name of Sinan under his raincoat. The black executive department The pocket on the inside of the windbreaker is so wide that it can hold a PAD just enough.
"I suspect there is a dragon's cave near the Forbidden City that we have always ignored." Jiang Peijiu said.
Lin Nian Seth Nan's movements obviously paused, and he frowned and looked at Jiang Peijiu.
"The Feng Shui Kanyu there has always presented a very strange feeling, giving me the illusion that the 'Feng Shui' is moving. This is a very abnormal phenomenon. I have been preparing to summon people to launch a search, but the location is too sensitive. , the execution department has been stuck with this project and it has not been approved, probably because they are worried that my too big movements will conflict with the local government." Jiang Peijiu ignored Lin Nian's gaze and looked at the thunderous sky outside the guardrail.
Is there a dragon's nest around the Forbidden City?
Lin Nian frowned and froze for a long time, thinking, aren't you digging the dragon's veins at the emperor's feet? Everyone should be shocked by you, right? And regarding the Forbidden City, Angers may also have many concerns. After all, he had heard that the battle of Summer's Mourning was caused by the original Secret Party's mistaken involvement in politics, which led to its destruction. Similar things that the current Secret Party will think twice about when encountering similar things are caused by the lessons of history.
"But now thanks to your blessing, after locating Baidi City and lending you the 'Zhitian Instrument', the people I want will be in place soon. In fact, I wanted to take the helicopter that sent you back. The academy has contacted Director Schneider, but unfortunately my jumping ability has not reached the level of ten meters." Jiang Peijiu shook her head sadly.
"... Just take it easy." Lin Nian didn't know what to say to this woman... She cares so much about Dragon's Lair. Could it be that she was infected by the so-called 'orthodox' thoughts as she said? Using the dragon's lair as a treasure house of knowledge, and using dragon culture as a ladder to reach the sky...they are a group of daring lunatics. No wonder the secret party has always kept secret about the hybrid forces in China.
On the deck, there was suddenly a burst of noise from the crowd, as if the drilling machine had finally dug the passage. Lin Nian and Jiang Peijiu stopped talking for an instant and leaned out of the guardrail. They braved the wind and rain to look at the drilling machine cantilever that penetrated into the river. A vortex actually appeared in the turbulent river water where the cantilever was submerged due to the storm... This is a phenomenon caused by a cavity at the bottom of the water!
"It's dug." Lin Nian and Jiang Peijiu looked at each other, turned around and walked quickly to the stairs, heading straight for the deck.
