"Keke, let me tell you, today when I went to eat hot pot at the hot pot restaurant outside my door, I suddenly felt a strong earthquake. The bottom of the pot almost spilled out."
Orange, who had just undergone the security scan and storage ring inspection, was holding a bottle of drink, drinking it "dong dong dong", and complained to Ke Ke who was sitting next to him.
"Sister Juzi, you just escaped a disaster. When the explosion happened, I was still assembling the soul guidance device in the laboratory. Zimu and Wang Shaojie were walking outside, and they were the first to be knocked unconscious by the air wave of the explosion. He's still lying in the infirmary now."
Ke Ke, who was sitting on the bench in the rest area, looked at the lively appearance of Orange and relaxed a little.
Orange curled her lips and continued: "What do you think the Haotian Sect is trying to do? There was no enmity between the college and them in the past, but there has been no enmity recently. As a result, they probably have a deadly feud with the college now. I don't see any benefit. ah."
Hearing what Orange said, Keke's expression changed slightly and she whispered, "Sister Orange, please stop talking nonsense. It seems that the college hasn't decided who the murderer is yet."
"You haven't decided yet? I heard it outside the academy..."
"The people who came here are probably from the Noumenon Sect, but they claim to be...the academy hasn't given a clear conclusion yet. The atmosphere is a bit off, you know."
"I see, then I will wait for the explanation later."
Orange nodded slightly, thinking that it seemed that if he wanted to know more specific information, he would have to go through the prince's channel.
As Orange's gaze swept across the long line of people who were being scanned and examined, she saw a familiar face that made her laugh. She pointed at Keke and said:
"Keke, look, that man with lavender hair who looks quite strong was sitting at the table across from me in the hot pot restaurant today, making hot pot by himself. As a result, the position where he was sitting was not coincidental, and he was completely beaten. The spilled pot bottom splashed all over..."
Keke couldn't help but laugh out loud, and followed the direction pointed by Orange and looked at the person who looked like a drowned rat.
In the queue waiting for the inspection, Beibei looked at the school uniform that was messed up by the hot pot bottom, and felt that he was really unlucky today.
I wanted to have hot pot, but I found out that all my friends had something to deal with, and in the end I had to eat hot pot alone...
It just so happened that the college was attacked and there was a big explosion. The micro-earthquake caused me to be splashed with hot pot bottom, but luckily I didn't hit my face.
The college's security team immediately took control of the college and some nearby buildings where students gathered and whose property rights were owned by the college. No entry or exit was allowed. Everyone must undergo a full-body scan and check the items in the storage soul guide. The college forced He was not even allowed to change into clean clothes if he wanted to pass the test. The security team said it was to prevent the stolen goods from being sold.
So Beibei waited uncomfortably. Fortunately, the inspection progress of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was relatively fast. Although the team moved slowly in general, at least it did not stop.
…………
"Haha, itchy, itchy, stop making trouble!"
Meng Hongchen knocked off Huo Yuhao's claws with a snap, stretched out his hand to straighten his messed up bangs, and asked:
"How is the search going? Grandpa went to chase the Noumenon Sect people. Originally, I was thinking of finding someone or simply maintaining order myself, but I didn't expect you to move faster than me and be a little bolder than me..."
Huo Yuhao shrugged: "The situation... the overall situation of the students and teachers in the college is not bad. When they were attacked, they basically complied with the regulations repeatedly emphasized in previous drills. Basically no one reached out and took things they shouldn't."
"The most common situation is that when many people escape, they deliberately take their unfinished works and are not allowed to take them out of the laboratory according to safety regulations, for fear that they will be destroyed due to fighting."
"Although this approach is indeed illegal according to safety regulations, after all, the matter is urgent and the situation is special. A few scoldings are enough. There are too many people who violate the rules. At this time, it is inevitable that the law will not punish the public..."
As he said that, Huo Yuhao thought of the research team from which he had stolen several level-7 fixed soul-guided artillery shells, and his tone became a little unnatural.
Between violating safety management regulations and being punished, or having a project that he had worked on for several years ruined, Huo Yuhao estimated that most people would choose the latter.
Meng Hongchen picked up the comb on the side and continued to ask while arranging his hair: "There is no need to say more about this kind of human thing. What I want to ask about is that kind of vicious incident."
Huo Yuhao shook his head: "The students of the college and the researchers of Mingdetang have not found that kind of situation yet, but the rest of us can't tell for sure..."
"The rest of the people are waiting?" Meng Hongchen was confused for a moment and then said: "You mean those students from Shrek?"
"Maybe we can find something. When the Noumenon Sect came knocking on the door, I was busy practicing the magic circle underground. Later, when I used mental detection to explore the situation, I found that some exchange students were hiding in the original room, and their movements were sneaky... "
"Okay, I have to go and check the situation again. If anything happens, I can deal with it as soon as possible."
Meng Hongchen nodded slightly: "Pay attention to safety, lest someone jumps over the wall or the Noumenon Sect comes back again."
"You are so successful now. You dare to use chicken feathers as a command arrow, and you asked me to cooperate with the investigation. I will settle the score with you slowly after this matter is over."
Meng Hongchen's smile had a hint of settling accounts, which made Huo Yuhao seize the opportunity to run away to avoid the limelight.
…………
At the end of the queue for scanning and searching, He Caitou looked at the dwindling flow of people in front of him and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Although he had gone through the training of concealing expression changes and disguising himself in the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan, seeing the surrounding security team members monitoring the entire scene without any slack, and unable to find any loopholes or opportunities to escape from the search scene, He Caitou still He couldn't hide his extreme nervousness.
"Brother, don't worry. Look at all the people in front of you. They'll be fine. They'll just go through the process."
Ye Xiaosheng, a student from the inner academy who was also from the Shrek Soul Guidance Department, saw He Caitou's tense expression, smiled, patted his shoulder, and explained.
"Okay, okay..." He Caitou responded with lack of confidence.
Captain Lan looked at He Caitou, whose behavior and expression were obviously abnormal and nervous, and stared at him with a half-smile.
Finally, no matter how reluctant He Caitou was, there were only a handful of people left in the queue waiting for inspection. There was no way to hide and they could no longer delay.
"Ye Xiaosheng!"
Ye Xiaosheng gave He Caitou a thumbs up, indicating that everything was fine and there was no need to be nervous, and stepped forward for inspection before him.
The inspector compared the photo on the student card with his own image, nodded, took off the scanner gun from the machine equipped with a soul guidance screen, and circled Ye Xiaosheng's body twice.
The soul guide screen paused for a moment, and then a dialysis diagram of Ye Xiaosheng's body was displayed. The outlines of some objects could be clearly seen.
"Number of storage soul guides: 1"
The scan results showed that there were no suspicious items on Ye Xiaosheng, and Ye Xiaosheng immediately handed over his storage ring to other waiting inspectors in a cooperative manner.
The inspection of storage soul guidance devices is obviously much stricter. Fortunately, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy considered that some students may store some items that they are ashamed to disclose in their soul guidance devices, and specially prepared a windowless, There was only a small temporary colored steel shed with two soul guidance lights in the room, and even the inspectors chose two experienced female soul guides to serve as it.
One of the inspectors looked through the items in Ye Xiaosheng's storage ring with a calm face, while the other person stared at Ye Xiaosheng with a stern expression, as if guarding against his small moves.
From the perspective of the inspector, Ye Xiaosheng's things were generally normal. He had seen enough unnatural things when he inspected other students' personal belongings just now. In contrast, some of the items in Ye Xiaosheng's storage ring were Even if something is not suitable for public viewing, it still seems to be completely within the scope of normal human beings.
"Okay, that's it. Let the next one come in."
Ye Xiaosheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked the two men to check his personal belongings. Even if it was not a public execution, it still felt a bit weird and inexplicably shameful. Fortunately, he finally passed the test smoothly.
Ye Xiaosheng walked out of the door and patted the shoulder of He Caitou, who had just passed the first scan and was already waiting at the door: "Don't worry, buddy, I personally tested everything and everything is fine."
Under Captain Lan's interested gaze, He Caitou forced out a smile, nodded stiffly, and entered the colored steel shed as if he was on the execution ground.
"There is only one storage soul guide in the whole body, right? Please sit down, you just need to cooperate with the work. We also want to get off work early."
Seeing He Caitou's dark complexion, the originally Sima-faced female soul instructor softened her attitude slightly.
"Okay...trouble."
He Caitou resignedly handed over his storage ring.
He knew very well what was hidden in his storage ring - when the explosion occurred just now, He Caitou took advantage of the opportunity when everyone else hurriedly returned to the ground to resist the Noumenon Sect, and seized all the time to frantically search for information that had not yet been stored in the public laboratory. I had enough time to take away the drawings of many high-end soul tools in the Sun and Moon Empire.
Shrek doesn't necessarily need the blueprints of the eighth- and ninth-level top soul tools. The differences in many detailed designs and ideas of mid-to-high-level soul tools can also bring an immediate improvement to Shrek's soul guidance level.
Before departure, Dean Qian Duoduo had told him to try to introduce the drawings or actual objects of the soul guide from the Sun and Moon Empire if he had the chance. Faced with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of the Noumenon Sect's surprise attack, He Caitou did what he did based on instinct without hesitation. Everything that can be done.
As long as these drawings are successfully transmitted back to Shrek Academy, it will certainly not allow the Soul Guidance Department to directly catch up with the progress of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, but it will at least save the Soul Guidance Department from hundreds of years of detours.
He Caitou originally planned to take advantage of the troubled waters to sneak out of the academy and hand over the blueprints to Shrek Academy as soon as possible to be installed as an inside line in Mingdu. However, the reaction speed of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was too fast. As soon as the Noumenon Sect members left, the guards The mad dogs of the team launched a martial arts search throughout the school, and the personnel who had been left in the underground fortifications were immediately picked out one by one.
Originally, He Caitou had already made preparations to blow up the public laboratory with the six-level custom-made soul-guided artillery shells he bought at the auction before leaving, completely destroying the evidence and pretending to be the handiwork of the original body sect. What is hateful is that The people of the Noumenon Sect were as timid as rats and hurriedly retreated before He Caitou could collect all the drawings. The people from the security team arrived immediately, leaving him no time to further damage the scene.
The female soul instructor responsible for the inspection skillfully emptied the contents of the Hecaitou storage ring. She also held a miniature version of the scanner in her hand to prevent hidden compartments in various items from being used to hide stolen goods.
He Caitou used what he knew and learned in the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan to make his performance look as clear-minded and unconcerned as possible.
However, when the soul engineer's hand was about to touch a password-protected file box, He Caitou finally couldn't sit back and watch any longer.
"Classmate, what is its password? Don't worry, we are just checking." The female soul instructor, who had been busy for most of the day, had a kind but slightly stiff professional smile on her face.
"This... I really can't open it. I'm afraid the contents inside will stain your eyes."
"Oh?" The female soul mentor looked at He Caitou with interest.
"Here, here is..." He Caitou gritted his teeth and decided to try his luck: "It is a dirty painting depicting the affairs between men and women. It really shouldn't be placed in front of you. Please..."
The female soul mentor's eyes widened slightly, and she seemed to be very surprised, but what she said next made He Caitou feel like he had fallen into an ice cave:
"Shitu, I like it the most. You are not a child anymore. Why are you so shy? Many classmates are as good at it as you are. Don't be afraid. Tell me what your password is?"
"It's really... no way..."
The female soul instructor narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips: "Then I have to do it myself. As for the loss of this file box, because it was the result of your refusal to cooperate, the college will not pay for it. "
Under He Caitou's dejected eyes, the female soul mentor took out a carving knife and skillfully started cutting around the combination lock on the file box.
"Eh...oh? Huh?!"
When the file box was cut open and the first piece of paper was picked up and inspected by the female soul mentor, her eyes were filled with incomparable astonishment, which immediately turned into a volcanic eruption of anger.
She pressed the alarm bell on the corner of the table, and the nearby security team rushed in immediately, pointing their black guns at He Caitou.
"Okay, I thought I would be able to get off work today. I thought it was because I was too nervous, but I didn't expect the real big fish was hidden at the end!" She gritted her teeth and looked at the slightly pale Hecaitou with the dark face in front of her, wishing she could Kill the opponent with one shot.
The Sima-faced teammate sitting next to her came forward and carefully checked the contents of each drawing. He was calmer than his companions and just stared at He Caitou with regret:
"I remember you, you are Shrek's exchange student, right? Tsk, being a Shrek student has a bright future, why bother to do such a thing?"
"But... you can rest assured that we are being decent and reasonable. Since it involves Shrek, we will handle it as a diplomatic matter and not engage in torture to extract confessions... Well... I guess..."
"So, if you believe that Shrek will not give up on his students, I suggest you not to resist. Your teachers and elders will naturally handle the game behind the scenes. If you resist with force, if the collision is too inappropriate, you can't change it. The final result is just a loss."
As she spoke, she waved her hand and ordered to the security team members: "Take him away, be careful not to bump him, and let professionals take care of him."
Outside the colored steel shed, Huo Yuhao, who had moved a set of tables and chairs to supervise the work, was crossing his legs and looking calmly at the students and researchers who had passed the inspection. He looked like a big spy.
Noticing the movement coming from the colored steel shed, Huo Yuhao had a faint smile on his face. He Caitou neither had any simulated soul skills nor could he use Electrolux's undead demiplane to help hide him. As long as he was pulled out in time, If you search carefully, exposure is inevitable.
Before, in his haste, he only noticed He Caitou taking advantage of the chaos to search for things in the laboratory. The specific investigation results were not clear yet.
"Huo...Sir, the results of the inspection you asked us to pay special attention to are indeed correct. We found... on the bodies of the Shrek exchange student and Caitou..."
Sir? This title is really unfamiliar. In Huo Yuhao's memory, he has heard this title several times outside of TV series...
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard the soul engineer in charge of the inspection described the inspection results that He Caitou had stolen a huge amount of soul guide blueprints.
He knew that He Caitou was loyal to Shrek and quite courageous, but he really didn't expect He Caitou's appetite to be so big. He was worthy of being the replacement for Shrek's Ultimate Individual Soldier Plan after Huo Guai failed to arrive as scheduled. .
"I know, don't make too much noise... uh, let's forget it."
Huo Yuhao originally wanted to suppress the matter first and see how to deal with it, but his eyes swept over the team of security guards escorting He Caitou.
At this time, He Caitou's head was covered with a huge black cloth bag, his hands were tied behind his back, and two security team members were holding He Caitou's shoulders respectively. If it weren't for his overly strong physique, most people would probably not really recognize him. The identity of the arrested person cannot be revealed.
It's a pity that I didn't think of this just now. The first reaction of the security team must be to catch the criminal to show that they are effective at their work, and to deter other criminals who have ideas or misdeeds.
"Just lock him up for the time being. Don't punish him yet. His identity cannot be dealt with easily. Regarding this matter...heh, I will go and talk to the higher-ups first before making any plans. Pay attention to protecting their safety."
"Yes!" The soul master cupped his hands, and then asked in a low voice: "There are a few people behind who have not been checked, won't you take another look?"
"I'll just leave it to you to continue. If there are any more...then be locked up with him first."
…………
In a meeting hall of the worship hall, Kong Deming held up the tea cup, looked at the slowly flowing heat, and said in a voice that could not be heard as joyful or angry:
"Master Hongchen Hall, you are really careless in handling this matter. You only focused on chasing the Noumenon Sect but neglected the lawbreakers hiding in the academy. What's more, you haven't chased the results yet, so you will inevitably be betrayed by some people." Attack and accuse. If Yuhao hadn't responded in time to help you end it, your sin would have been really serious."
"I know that I can't blame you for being attacked by the Noumenon Sect. Don't worry too much about the pressure in the court. I have a strong balance in my heart. However, if so many blueprints are really stolen by Shrek's people, it will be really hard for you. Let’s put the blame aside. The crystallization of the empire’s thousand-year wisdom is leaked so easily, which may lead to the loss of military advantage in one day, and I will not be able to protect you by then.”
Kong Deming's calm tone made Jing Hongchen break into cold sweat, and he kept saying: "I was negligent, please punish Mr. Kong. Yuhao was able to control the situation in time today thanks to the token you gave him. In the end, in the end, No further losses occurred to the Yue Royal Soul Master Academy and Mingde Hall, thanks to you, old man."
Kong Deming sneered, while Huo Yuhao, who had just arrived at the worship hall to complain, was pretending to be dead without saying a word.
On the way here, he couldn't help but think wildly: Although he had caught He Caitou in time and avoided greater losses, Jing Hongchen might be criticized for "ill-considered" and "almost made a big mistake". After all, the drawings were not really sent away, and it was over after just a few words of criticism. Presumably Jing Hongchen didn't care much about this.
However, there is actually a solution with "less impact" on Jing Hongchen: without Huo Yuhao's timely arrangement, He Caitou actually sent the drawings safely, and this matter has truly become a secret from the Sun and Moon Empire. If he knew it, Jing Hongchen would not even be criticized. Huo Yuhao knew that some people would really think this way.
As for whether the leaked blueprints will cause a swing in the balance of the army's combat power, what is the matter with Shu Jing Hongchen? The soul tools used to deal with the army will not fall on his head...
However, since Huo Yuhao has made so much noise and mobilized a large number of manpower from the college, he will definitely not be able to hide it from Kong Deming, and the current result can be considered acceptable.
Wang Yiheng, the division leader of the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group, said to Huo Yuhao with a slightly sullen look on his face: "Little friend Yuhao, that incompetent guy under me can't make suggestions, but as a soldier, he is meddling in the affairs of Mingdetang. , almost caused trouble to Hall Master Hongchen, I will first apologize to Hall Master and you here."
Huo Yuhao could no longer pretend to be indifferent, so he had to refuse: "What are you talking about? What other people think and do has nothing to do with you..."
Jing Hongchen caressed the finger on his hand and said, "That's right, Commander Wang doesn't have to criticize himself too harshly", while looking at Wang Yiheng's face thoughtfully.
He didn't believe that a person who could be an eighth-level soul mentor could be a simple person, and he would never speak casually in a situation like the attack on Mingde Hall.
The eighth-level soul master's suggestion to Huo Yuhao to "help blockade Mingdu" was a huge trap. If Huo Yuhao hadn't reacted smartly and not stepped on it, now this matter would have become completely unstoppable.
That was simply an idea to add big trouble to a small favor. At least the person who made this suggestion had no pure intention of helping Jing Hongchen...
Who is the person behind the scenes who wants to take advantage of the fact that he, the leader, is not around and bully Huo Yuhao for his inexperience?
