Chapter 26: "It's called penetrating the enemy."
Chapter 26
As the head of the second grade, Wang Li was there on the day of the entrance ceremony.
He originally wanted to find the student who saved his life based on the results of the class division, but what he didn't expect was that this year, due to the accident of the practical test, the school authority not only didn't release the entrance results of the new students, but also didn't divide them into different levels of classes as usual, but instead opened a parallel class with no order of seniority.
Thus, Wang Li's plan to find someone through this means was ruined.
"So ...... what do we do next?"
Zhao She asked in a flabbergasted voice.
He was also one of the companions who were attacked by the gray crows together with Wang Li that day, and also one of the few people in the whole team who had seen the strength of the mysterious freshman.
Wang Li stood outside the venue, staring at the crowds of people coming and going, lost in thought.
That day outside the Gray Crow s Nest, they did not see the face of that mysterious freshman ...... Are they going to accost all the freshmen one by one and recognize them by their voices?
This method is not only unreliable, but also a huge waste of time.
--And they're running out of time, almost like every second counts.
Chen Meng, frowning, interjected, "Do we just have to find the freshman?"
"I understand that we do have to find a powerful Fire on this trip, but even if the one you're talking about is powerful, isn't he still a freshman?"
Zhao She shook her head disapprovingly, "Alas! You were away that day, so you didn't see it with your own eyes ......"
That roiling rain of fire that seemed like a heavenly punishment could never be forgotten if one had seen it once.
It was an almost terrifyingly powerful, and even now, he seemed to be able to feel the searing heat that seemed to be able to melt his eyeballs- honestly, Zhao She even had a premonition that even if he put it in the entire academy, he was afraid that no one would be able to cast such a powerful fire magic.
I'm afraid Wang Li feels the same way.
That's why he abandoned his original plan to approach the senior fire department, and even though several others in the team were against it, he was still bent on bringing that mysterious freshman into the fold.
"If you say so."
Chen Meng snorted disdainfully, not taking Zhao She's words seriously at all.
Even if they were geniuses, without systematic study and training, they could not be strong enough to be any stronger.
I'm afraid Wang Li is so desperate for success that he's desperate to get medical help.
At that moment, the fourth person in the group who hadn't said anything suddenly spoke:
"Look! Is that Mu Hang in the distance?"
What?
Everyone froze and subconsciously looked in the direction the other party was pointing.
Even though the distance was far, they still saw the man who was extremely conspicuous in the crowd at a glance, not only because of his iconic head of silver hair, but also because of the powerful aura on the other party that was completely impossible to ignore, and I'm afraid that there wouldn't be anyone else but Mu Hang.
"The school administration actually managed to invite this great god, this is something I really didn't expect ......"
"Yeah, this freshman class is really lucky."
"Lucky? Have you forgotten the accident of the practical test?"
"I'm talking about the other side!"
A few people put aside their searching thoughts and chatted animatedly.
"Eh speaking of which, who is Officer Mu talking to?"
To be able to talk to Mu Hang in such a public place, he must be rich and powerful.
"Don't recognize eh......" Several people probed their heads in that direction, switching angles to try to see the front face of the person Mu Hang was talking to.
Dark hair, white skin, slender figure, and seemingly not very old.
"Ah! I remember!" Wu Huancheng suddenly exclaimed, "It's that guy!"
"Who?" A few others were startled by him.
"Shi an ah! Have you forgotten? Didn't we talk about it the other day?" Wu Huancheng gestured, "That Shi An!"
Chen Meng was shocked, "That punk who didn't get in after years of exams?"
Although they were not freshmen, they had heard of Shi An's name, after all, that was the famous person who donated a building to the school but still couldn't detect half of the magic power, it was really rare that he was able to pass the test this year, so it still set off a buzz of discussion within the academy.
Several people were stunned and looked at each other, revealing bewildered and puzzled looks.
Shi An?
How could it be him?
How can someone like ...... be qualified to talk to Officer Mu?
While the crowd was chatting away, Wang Li turned around with his cell phone in his hand, his eyes shining brightly behind his lenses, and said rather excitedly, "I know how to find that freshman!"
The other three stopped their idle chatter and looked over in unison:
"How."
Wang Li : "I looked for connections and asked around, in fact, this time the freshmen's grades have actually been counted, only due to system failure, so it is not used."
He pushed up his glasses and continued:
"I'll reach out later and see if I can get the contact information for the top freshmen in this real-world class."
Chen Meng shrugged, "Fine, it's definitely best if I can find it, then I'd like to see for myself how strong that person you guys are talking about is."
*
As the vice-principal's own nephew, Wang Li has some connections and privileges within the school, such as at this time--
He took the slip of paper with the way the first few students practiced from the hands of the teacher in front of him and thanked him respectfully:
"Thanks for your help."
"That's okay."
The teacher waved his hand at him in a pleasant manner, "Anyway, these data won't be used, so it won't be a problem to give them to you."
"But I'm kind of curious ......"
Wang Li scanned down the note in his hand and asked with some confusion, "Aren't these grades normal? I don't see a system failure there?"
"Alas," said to this, the teacher let out a long sigh, "because I only gave you the data of normal students ah, you are not aware of, this time the system failure is really difficult to understand, the usual has not appeared so outrageous data, a student whose total points were 0 before the accident, in the system repair After the system was fixed, the score soared to 130,000 points! It's scary, isn't it? All the tutors didn't expect this result, and the system overhaul couldn't find the problem, so they could only use this current solution ......"
Wang Li thought for a moment, "What was that freshman's name?"
"I think it's called Shi An." The teacher replied carelessly.
Wang Li was stunned.
For some reason, the idle chatter of a few of the other team members outside the venue earlier came to mind.
Ghostly, he said, "Can I get a copy of his contact info too?"
*
Shi An caught the black smoke and shook it, "Do you remember the location of the cache?"
Black Smoke was shaken and screamed:
"No, I really don't know!"
It's been tens of thousands of years, it's only a ghost if it remembers!
Shi An stopped moving and gazed at the black smoke in her palm in confusion, "So what else are you good for?"
The Demon Worm gloated and even chimed in, "That's right, garbage."
Black Smoke glared at the Demon Worm that had fallen not far away, as if he wanted to lynch the other with his own eyes.
The Devil Worm, relying on the fact that he had embraced the Evil Dragon's thigh, sinisterly incited the fire:
"My lord, I think you should either simply burn it, a mosquito's leg is still meat even if it's small, right?"
Watching Shi An fall into deep thought, seemingly thinking seriously about this suggestion from the Demon Worm, Black Smoke panicked, ''Lord Lord Lord! No, no, no, no! You listen to me! I am useful! Super useful! I ...... I can stealthily spy for you and I can create dreams to trap your enemies ......"
Shi An: "Dreams?"
He thought for a moment, "Anything?"
Black Smoke: "......?"
But for the sake of its little life, it said without hesitation, "Of course! Anything!"
Shi An tugs on the black smoke doughnut like a marshmallow, "Okay oh, then tonight I'm going to have a nice dream with lots and lots of treasure, oh yeah, and video games and snacks."
Black Smoke: "........................ "
That's not how I fucking use it!
Shi An ruthlessly shoved it back into the box, "I'll let you out at night."
Looking at the blackened lid of the box in front of him, Black Smoke almost shed a tear.
Is this, is this retribution?
God--
Shi An tossed the box aside, then proceeded to glare viciously at the thick, ancient book that lay in the center of the bed, as if trying to burn a hole in the cover of the book with her eyes.
The Demon Worm doggedly crawled over, "My lord, then what are you going to do next?"
Shi An wilted as if she were a frosted eggplant, "...... I still need the next book."
Since the way to summon a dragon was in the previous book, the next book might help him figure out why the summoning spell had worked - after all, no matter how far modern magical devices had advanced, trying to get a magic-less human to summon an actual ancient dragon was impossible.
The Devil Worm was worried, "But if that black smoke was right just now, the next book should be in the Mu Family's library, but ......"
Mu Hang, he's a dragonslayer!
And a dragonslayer who has his heart set on finding the dragon's trail!
Was there a more dangerous place in the world than his family's stash?
The Demon Worm was suddenly like an enemy: "That, you don't want to be impulsive! Don't rob it openly! Not only do we not know the exact location of that storeroom right now, but who knows if that Mu Hang house will be protected by some ancient spell, that would be too dangerous!"
Shi An is silent for two seconds.
After a long time, he sighed and reluctantly said, "Fine."
Magic Worm: "......" Heh, I knew you were going to play that!
After being together for such a long time, it now understood the giant dragon's thought pattern all too well.
If you want it, grab it. Anything in this world that I want is mine.
It's simply unreasonable robber baron logic.
Shi An : "Well, that leaves only one last option."
Demon Worm: "?"
Shi An reached into his pocket and fished out a slender box, pulling out the thing made of glass and metal, called a cell phone, thoughtfully:
"Speaking of which, it looks like I can ask for any payment ......?"
Magic Worm: "Wait ......"
I think this is a much more dangerous approach!!!!
It said with difficulty, "But, but, Mu Hang is going to let you help and catch yourself!"
Shi An, in all seriousness, "It's called penetrating the enemy."
In short, no matter how or by what means, he must get the next book!
Shi An's expression turned grim.
The first book was already this bad, who knows if there will be anything else weird in the next book!
So no matter what, a book this sick must not fall into the hands of anyone else!
It must be destroyed!
