Chapter 340 The Worst Ending
The overwhelming rain hit the windows on the second floor of the principal's office, and the bell in the bell tower not far away rang in the wind.
It was already late at night.
The top floor of the principal's office.
A desk lamp and seven bone china cups.
Five figures surrounded the huge desk, sitting in the darkness where the light could not reach.
The wind blew the fallen leaves rolling on the roof. No one spoke in the room for a long time, and the atmosphere changed like the white steam overflowing from the tea in the cup.
"Say something, people who don't know better think we are holding a late-night ghost story convention." The man sitting in the darkness muttered.
"I think Mingfei's suggestion is worth adopting. Why do you three little guys smell like hot pot?" The vice-principal touched his stomach and felt a little hungry.
"Because you called us here while we were eating hot pot." Lu Mingfei sucked the Coke from the can without taking a sip from the cup filled with tea soup in front of him.
"It's my fault. If I had known in advance that you were eating hot pot in the middle of the night without calling me, I would definitely have called you over earlier." The vice principal said regretfully.
"No, no, no, you can come uninvited. After you finish eating, tell us that Principal Angers is waiting for us in the office for a meeting." Lu Mingfei crushed the empty can and threw it away, hitting the black trash can in the corner.
"But then Ange will have to stay alone in the boudoir in the office." The vice-principal said, thinking, "But some things have to be sacrificed. If Ange stays alone in the boudoir, he can get a hot pot meal from us.
I personally think it’s worth it.”
"Principal, how is your physical condition now?" Chu Zihang put down the tea cup and spoke in a calm tone, but he was able to bring order to the chaos and pull back the gradually skewed channel in one fell swoop.
"I've basically recovered." Ange nodded and smiled, "I'm so glad to see you here."
After saying that, he glanced at the two guys who were laughing at each other, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Are you wary of something?" Chu Zihang asked directly, "Since you have recovered, you are publicizing that you are seriously injured in bed. Do you have any concerns? Or do you want to take this opportunity to attract someone?"
Ange's eyes revealed in approval: "Yes, so you and Mingfei will be sent out to perform tasks next. Not only you, but also the juniors and seniors in this department, as well as some repeaters, will be temporarily sent to support our operations around the world.
Branch, this department will then fall into a period of 'weakness'."
"Send us all out to lure out the enemies in the dark?" Chu Zihang pondered, "Would it be too risky? If we are removed, how much combat strength will the headquarters have left?"
Angers wrote lightly: "It seems to be a period of weakness, but in fact it is the time when the headquarters is at its strongest. Don't underestimate those old guys. Since they can still climb out of the coffin and come to the headquarters for meetings, it is not a bad idea to drag a few enemies with them to die together.
What a difficult thing."
"You're talking about... the elders?"
"The elders are all elites with excellent bloodlines, and those who survived World War II are even more elite warriors." Angers nodded, "In addition, I have some preparations. If enemies really come to visit, I will give them a surprise."
Caesar frowned and said: "Is this an invitation to commit suicide? With all due respect, all the juniors and seniors are sent out, leaving only the rookies freshmen and sophomores in the school. If there is an attack, the risk is very high. Not everyone is Chu Zihang
, Lu Mingfei, is the situation so bad that you have to choose such a rash approach?"
Angers sighed: "I don't want to do this if conditions permit, but we really don't have much time left, and the current situation is quite serious. You should already know that our branches all over the world have been attacked.
"
Chu Zihang and Caesar looked at each other, and the former hesitated and said: "Didn't you say that we were well prepared and the damage this time was very low?"
"That's for the senators, and it's also for Caesar to add some good political achievements." The vice-principal stood up from the darkness and shrugged, "We did take precautions in advance, but as you know, the execution department has always been understaffed.
Not enough. Although we recruit students from all over the world every year, we also send commissioners to the world, and not all students will join the executive department. The mortality rate in our industry is neither high nor low.
, so we have been facing the embarrassing situation of shortage of manpower, especially the kind of outstanding talents."
He patted Chu Zihang on the shoulder: "Just look at you and you will know. You were known as the elite of the execution department in the first semester of your freshman year, and you were known as the ace of the department after your freshman year. You can imagine how short of people we are."
"Although we took precautions in response to the attack this time, the enemy's attack exceeded our expectations. Some branches were still breached. We have decided to temporarily shrink the defense line and establish several main branch bases, and then use them as the center
, handle emergencies around the world.”
"In the next month, we will conduct emergency special training for sophomores, and a month later we will send out all sophomores. Some of the freshmen will be selected to have a fighting spirit, while the rest will have firearms specialties.
The training is expected to take two months."
The faces of Chu Zihang and the other two people gradually became serious. They did not expect that the situation had become so bad.
"If even we can't keep it, then the dragon clan's secret..." Caesar suddenly said in surprise.
Silence fell on the office.
After a long time, Angers said softly: "I regret to inform you that the secrets that the secret party and the entire mixed race have guarded for thousands of years have begun to leak. Our branches in several remote small countries have been exposed to the eyes of the local governments.
, has been brought under control. Although we made representations as soon as possible, the relevant secrets were still leaked, and this is just the beginning."
Chu Zihang took a deep breath and said, "The enemy has no intention of keeping it secret, right?"
"Yes, for thousands of years we and the Dragon Clan have silently guarded the same bottom line. Although at that time we did not understand why the Dragon Clan could reach such a tacit understanding with us. It was not until recently that we guessed the answer, because some Dragon Clan had already hidden in
The power of the world is quietly held in the dark, and they don't want to be exposed to the sun. Although I don't know what they are wary of and afraid of, it is obviously not us."
Ange rubbed his temples with a headache, "We at least had the same tacit understanding during this period, but now, someone wants to overturn the table. As for the reason, it may be that they have accumulated enough power, and it doesn't matter whether they are exposed or not."
"Not only this time, but the dragon incident that broke out around the world some time ago, the other party had no intention of keeping it secret. Strictly speaking, some special agencies had already noticed us at that time."
"I told you before that some agencies had suspected that our project was to study the black magic that leads to other worlds... Now they have every reason to believe that we have built a passage to other worlds through black magic, and connected the other worlds.
Strange creatures are drawn into this world. According to the plot of the movie, they will soon suspect that our magic circle is set up in the academy. Then in order to save the world, they will file charges against the school and conduct a thorough investigation of the entire academy.
To be more radical, just use missiles to clear the ground. Sending all the students out is also to avoid this day coming. We are now checking the supplies in the ice cellar..."
The old guy kept talking, while Lu Mingfei and the others were silent.
They also had every reason to suspect that when they gathered in the Hall of Valor for a meeting, someone was watching a Hollywood assembly-line commercial movie in the principal's office.
"Principal, the situation has not reached this point. We have people in various governments."
Caesar shook his head and interrupted Angers,
"As far as I know, the Gattuso family alone has established a complex network of relationships with a huge economic network. Almost all European countries are within the influence of the Gattuso family, and Italy is at our feet.
The British royal family maintains a close and good relationship with us, and we can talk even to Russia."
"As for the remaining Germany and France, I remembered correctly. The former was the 'cradle' of the Secret Party, and the latter was the retirement retreat of some senators."
After listening to Caesar's impromptu speech, Angers smiled and nodded: "Indeed, the situation has not reached the worst point. The senators not only live in seclusion in France, but also in various European countries have their seclusions to operate their own industries. This is also
Part of the reason we chose to base Kassel in Chicago."
"As for North America..." Angers paused, stood up and said, "Most of them are under the jurisdiction of the North American mixed breeds, and the leader of the North American mixed breeds is Henkel. He is a warrior. We also have our own people in the U.S. Congress. In the Congress
With our supporters, several giant industries have always had commercial and medical ties with us, and we even use dragon technology to help them privately."
"As for Asia, Japan's eight Sheqi families are enough to control the situation in their country."
"As for China, we don't need to worry too much. As long as we explain the interests to them, they will know who the enemy is. This country has endured hardships. They know the value of peace and insist on standing on the right stand to face the situation.
All problems. Moreover, the relationship between the secret party and China is actually not bad. Back then, we were the faction that supported the overthrow of the imperial system. If Lu Shanyan and others had not sacrificed... China and Japan would be enough to stabilize the situation in Asia."
"Looking at it this way, we have connections all over the world. Even if the dragon clan's secret is exposed, although we will attract the attention of countless government agencies and the world will be in turmoil, our network of connections is enough to maintain stability for a while. After all, we
There is also a common enemy.”
"but……"
Ange sighed softly and said in a low voice: "Have you ever thought that what we can do, the Dragon Clan may be able to do better than us?"
Caesar was startled.
Ange looked at Chu Zihang: "I remember that in the mission report you and Xia Mi completed not long ago, it was recorded that dragons are selling dragon serum, creating hybrids, and doing so in the name of extending life, right?"
Chu Zihang nodded solemnly, vaguely understanding what the principal meant.
At the auction on that cruise ship, the dragons were secretly auctioning a serum that could create hybrids and claimed to extend life.
They weren't lying. The lifespan of hybrids is longer than that of humans. According to the captain, their industries are all over the world and they started laying out hundreds of years ago!
"You brought back a sample, which has been analyzed by the equipment department. It can indeed allow an ordinary person to evolve into a hybrid species and extend a certain life span. Do you know what crazy things some people can do to extend their life span?
?”
Angers looked at them deeply and said: "In medieval Europe, in order to prolong life, some nobles believed in the words of dark wizards and took the blood of hundreds of newborn babies to refine secret medicine. But in modern times, some people are crazy.
There will be less than them. Cassel has been secretly using dragon technology to treat some giants in the human world, but the effect is far less than a serum that can evolve ordinary people into hybrids."
"If someone stands in front of them with the serum, believe me, in the eyes of those who have gone crazy just to live, the destruction of the world does not matter."
"We can use our huge economic network to interfere with the governments of various countries, but those dragons who have been hiding in the dark for thousands of years, how much wealth have they accumulated, and what kind of network of relationships can they leverage?"
"At that time, maybe the secret party that has been guarding the human world will be labeled as an 'alien' and wanted by the whole world."
Angers stood in front of the window and shouted loudly, and everyone fell into deep thought.
In the silence of the office on the second floor, the sound of rain outside the window became clearer and clearer, and dense raindrops hit the glass, leaving winding traces.
"What...should we do?" Caesar said in a hoarse voice.
"Caesar, you have to learn to be a qualified leader to balance the relationship between the secret party and the whole world." Angers said softly, "You have a far advantage over them in this aspect, and you have to learn to make good use of the resources brought by your family.
Power, even if you don't like it. Before a young lion grows into a lion of the roaring prairie, he always has to take shelter under the wings of an old man, absorbing all the strength on the way to make himself grow."
Caesar was silent for a long time and nodded slowly.
"Okay, okay, you two come with me. I have something to show you." The vice-principal stood up, took Chu Zihang and Caesar in his arms, and dragged them out.
Chu Zihang looked back and found that his junior brother had been in a daze. He supported his chin with one hand and stared blankly at the traces of rainwater flowing on the window.
And Angers was staring at him.
After the vice-principal led the two of them away, Angers sat down again, poured himself a cup of black tea, and asked amid the aroma of tea:
"Mingfei, what are you thinking about?"
Lu Mingfei came back to his senses, and his eyes finally fell on the black tea in the principal's hand.
“Wouldn’t it burn you to drink hot tea in summer?”
"Didn't you just come here after finishing hot pot?"
Lu Mingfei smacked his lips, as if recalling the aftertaste of hot pot.
"Principal, you should have thought of it." Lu Mingfei suddenly said, "Some guys behind the scenes may not care about the choices of the human world at all, so they don't need to win over the higher-ups of the human world, let alone rely on the people of the human world.
Use force to deal with the Secret Party, because what they want to overthrow is the entire existing world system."
"Create an economic crisis that sweeps the world, assassinate senior government officials to paralyze various countries' institutions, and then create conflicts in local areas. Historical experience tells us that in this case, local conflicts will soon spread to the whole world, and then the third war will begin."
Lu Mingfei said quietly, "The hundreds of nuclear bombs created by humans may all fall on humans themselves. When everything is razed to the ground, the monarchs hiding in the dark will happily come to the world again, and on the ruins of the world
Build their kingdom.”
Ange was silent for a long time, slowly took a sip of tea soup, exhaled and murmured: "This is the worst ending."
I used to stay up until one or two o'clock, but now I feel sleepy as soon as it's past midnight... Maybe it's because I'm going to hibernate in the winter...
