Chapter 57 Afternoon Tea and EVA
Author: Youjiu L
The next afternoon, he came to the principal's office as scheduled.
Out of courtesy, Lu Mingfei shook the bronze bell hanging on the door.
"Come in, Mingfei."
Angers voice came from inside.
He pushed open the door and entered, but did not see the principal.
The room is surrounded by bookshelves. The books on them are old and new, but they are all very beautifully packaged and are worth a lot of money at a glance.
Lu Mingfei also saw several books with steel book cases that were completely welded together, and he didn't know what taboo contents were recorded in them.
For a moment, he felt that he was not in the principal's office, but in the private library of some inquisitor.
"Come up, I'm here."
Angers voice came from above, seeming a bit far away.
Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked up. The patio composed of bookshelves and ancient books was filled with golden sunlight. The principal was sitting under the skylight on the top floor drinking tea, and squirrels were jumping around next to him.
Lu Mingfei went up the stairs to the top of the building and sat opposite Ange.
"This is my private space, and I usually don't invite people in. Of course, you are an exception."
Angers said in a passionate yet reserved manner.
He nodded noncommittally.
"What do you want to drink? Black tea, green tea, oolong, Pu'er, I have them all here."
Angers asked.
"casual."
Lu Mingfei said.
"Then Taiping Houkui, the newly picked Mingqian tea this year has a refreshing orchid fragrance and a sweet taste."
Angers recommended.
He knew what he was doing, so Anger brewed a pot of Taiping Houkui.
"I originally thought Avenger Angers should be an iron-blooded warrior."
Lu Mingfei looked at his skillful movements and said.
"Hate is precisely because beautiful things are destroyed. Every day I enjoy a beautiful life, I accumulate a point of hatred towards the Dragon Clan. Because those I cherish can no longer enjoy it."
Angers replied.
Lu Mingfei nodded, agreeing with this answer.
"Besides, I don't want all the students in Kassel to become Predators. The history of the Dragon Clan will eventually end, but Kassel Academy will continue to exist."
Angers blinked.
"Let's get down to business, what's going on with this mission?"
he asked coldly.
While the two were talking, in the magnificent library of Kassel College, which was forty meters deep underground, a figure huddled in a swivel chair with his hands folded.
His burly body shrank into a ball, like an elephant stuffed into a refrigerator.
There is nothing here, only the flickering light of the screen, and he hides his face in the shadows.
"Aren't you afraid of being caught by others at this time? Even if I can modify the access records and monitoring data, there is no way to modify other people's memories."
A calm female voice said.
If Lu Mingfei were here, he would have heard that this was the voice of "Norma" who seemed to hate intelligence.
"Lu Mingfei should be having afternoon tea with the principal at this time."
The man said nonchalantly.
"So you came to me for afternoon tea?"
Norma asked.
"I'm here to see an old friend. Enter the EVA personality activation program."
The man said.
"All appearances are not me, all appearances are me. No matter I switch to Norma or EVA, it is just the appearance of my personality. Why are you so persistent?"
Norma seemed to sigh.
The man didn't answer and continued to lower his head.
After a while, the huge screen gradually dimmed.
Countless lights flashed faster in the darkness, like the beat of death rock drums.
The huge amount of personality data is imported into this super central computer, overwhelming even the most advanced hardware.
This is an artificial intelligence that is ahead of its time, so much so that the technology of this era is not fully ready to meet it.
The Secret Party created her, but failed to fully master her.
Suddenly, all the lights went out in an instant, and the basement fell into absolute darkness.
A beam of light appeared like a miracle and fell in front of the man.
The man stretched out his hand, and a translucent palm fell into his palm.
"EVA."
He called out with great joy, just like a believer calling for an angel descending from heaven.
The girl stood in the air, her translucent figure shimmering with gleaming light, her black hair hanging down along her silk nightgown, all the way to her bare heels.
"You can't touch it, so why do you always have to reach out?"
she asked.
"Because I want to. I've always held your hand and I don't plan on changing it."
The man said.
The girl held his hand, her palm passed through his palm, and the two hands overlapped.
Even so, men can't feel any touch.
Because this is just a light and shadow technique that deceives the eyes, it cannot deceive his already developed physical sense of touch.
"Lu Mingfei did it. He really protected the people around him."
He said quietly.
"I have seen his combat record, and he is indeed very strong. At the same age, you can't even keep up with his tail."
EVA said without mercy.
"S-level."
The man smiled bitterly.
He originally thought that his bloodline was strong enough, but he didn't expect that there was such a big gap between him and S-class.
"Not only is his bloodline, but his will and mobility are far beyond ordinary people. He also has the support of the equipment department."
EVA said.
Pieces of alchemical equipment appeared on the big screen, including "Achilles PLUS" armor and lightsabers made of dragon flame crystal.
If he had had these things at the beginning, would the outcome have been different?
At least, he can sacrifice himself and save EVA.
"It won't be any different. What's under the ice seabed is a dragon king level monster."
EVA punctures men's fantasies.
"You are always so rational."
He smiled bitterly.
"After all, I am already an AI."
EVA said calmly.
"Let's get down to business. Is the drug Lu Mingfei investigated related to the prince?"
the man suddenly asked.
"Prince", this name is like a magic spell. As soon as it is spoken, the air becomes bitingly cold, just like the ice under the sea.
"There is currently no evidence to prove it, but there should be a connection."
EVA said.
"Where's the evidence?"
he asked.
"The school board has an independent database."
EVA replied.
"School Board"
The man sneered.
These old antiques hold countless secrets. No one knows how many plans they have, and no one knows their hidden purpose behind slaying the dragon.
They always like to hide and tuck it in, just like back then.
"How do I check?"
he asked.
"Just follow that S-class guy."
EVA didn't say much.
"Yes, he is the whirlpool of fate."
The man seemed to understand.
"Why don't you?"
Several beams of top-down light appeared in front, back, left, and right of the man at the same time. In each beam of light stood a translucent figure. There was a girl in leather clothing with neat short red hair, and there was also an indifferent boy wearing sunglasses, and there was also a face.
There were monk-like men in black, a charming girl with long curly hair, and EVA, a total of six people.
They all put their hands on the man's shoulders and smiled in unison. After many years, they were still as brilliant as before.
"Our fate lies with you."
Six different voices said at the same time.
"EVA, don't play this kind of game, okay?"
The man shook his head and said.
"They are not here. They are all sleeping under the ice sea thousands of kilometers away, locked in those metal diving suits. They will not die, but they can never come back."
The other figures disappeared, leaving only EVA looking at him quietly.
“I will come again.”
The man stood up and said.
"I wish you wouldn't come."
EVA said indifferently.
"Don't be stupid, without you I'm just an empty shell."
He withdrew his palm from the void and walked outside firmly.
EVA silently watched the man's leaving figure. Compared to a month ago, his figure was much taller and straighter.
This may mean rebirth, or it may mean faster destruction.
Two illusory tears fell, after the metal door was completely closed.
