Chicago time, 2:30 in the middle of the night. The ice cellar alarm was half an hour ago.
Schneider was sitting in the office of the Executive Department handling official duties. The entire office could only hear the sound of documents being turned, and the iron surface refracted by the desk lamp, and the hissing sound of the old bellows emitted evenly underneath.
The document on the desk was the last document that needed approval tonight, but it was this document that made Schneider twist his fingers on the red seal for a long time without making a decision.
"About the marriage application of "A" grade student Chen Motong (student number A09003)", the applicant is Caesar Gattuso... It should be Caesar Gattuso, the whole college talked about the engagement during the day
There was such a fuss that even the head of the execution department, who was under house arrest in disguise, got a general idea from the rumors. However, he didn't expect that the victim would act so quickly. The news spread during the day, and the application form was published at night.
It passed from Norma to his hand.
The application template is very old. At a glance, you can tell that it was probably copied from somewhere by Caesar. It lists his and Chen Motong's personal resumes, how they met, and the time they spent together. At the end, they even showed a copy of the application form.
The blood sample analysis obtained from the Department of Genetic Sciences showed that the bloodline of Caesar and Chen Motong's future offspring was highly stable, and the attachment stated that they would continue to contribute to the sustainable development of hybrids in the future (possibly
Will you have a second child?).
Logically speaking, this document should not get into Schneider's hands. The marriage applications of students like Caesar and Chen Motong will most likely be moved to the relevant category of "Bloodline Confidentiality" and bypassed directly.
The executive department and department offices submit it to the president and vice president for guidance.
However, since the investigation team has recently surfaced, the principal has disappeared, and the vice-principal is also rushing to do some strange things. Most of the affairs in the college have been handed over to Schneider, Angers' most trusted person, and this document has also been handed over to Schneider.
It naturally flowed into his hands.
Schneider held this document, his silver-grey pupils scanning the line after line. He was thinking, thinking about the deeper meaning hidden under this application. At this point, Caesar Gattuso submitted the marriage application.
Does this mean Caesar is extending an olive branch to the school board?
From his point of view, Caesar represents the power of the student union in Kassel College. He announced the engagement and celebrated before the hearing that was held soon. It felt like watching from the other side and continuing to play music and dance... This means that the student union has already
Has the collective taken the stance of the investigation team?
It's actually reasonable to think about it this way. After all, the investigation team comes from the school board. They can't be considered external enemies. At most, they can only be regarded as enemies of Chu Zihang, president of Lionheart Club, and honorary member Lin Nian. As a student union, they should be eager to see them.
Until the lion's heart that has been holding them down will be liquidated.
If the student union chooses to support the investigation team this time and directly overthrow the two twins Lin Nian and Chu Zihang at the hearing, then the student union will probably have the dictatorship of the Cassel College student voice in the future.
Others may think that thinking this way is too "making a mountain out of a molehill", but as Schneider has been the head of the executive department for so long, he has long seen clearly that the "student organizations" in this college are not just like-minded.
It is a similar organization, but more inclined to the traditional American "fraternity" model.
The creed of fraternities gathered in many American universities is to stick together for warmth, fight for interests together, share what is needed, and work together to clench a fist to a level that would scare anyone. Going back further, you can refer to workers' associations, and going back further
It can also be considered that the dock coolies formed cliques and became a typical example of the evil forces.
The cohesiveness of the fraternity is beyond imagination. As long as the organization has strong enough centripetal force and a charismatic leader, most of the fraternity members will contact each other and help each other even after graduation. No matter how long it takes, they will admit that they are
Being a member of the fraternity maintains this collective sense of honor for decades or even a lifetime.
In the eyes of truly thoughtful people, the struggle between the two student organizations, the Student Union and the Lionheart Club, has long since escalated into a competition between two party organizations in the future. It is by no means a petty fight like the funding struggle between the Jazz Department and the Opera Department.
It is very likely that one of the parties that actually wins the struggle will become one of the secret parties with real power in the future. The powerful process inside
The degree cannot be underestimated.
The current situation is that the Lionheart Club has always had more influence in the college than the Student Union. Now the Student Union has a chance to make a comeback, and its methods are fair and square. It is difficult not to consider whether Caesar, as the President of the Student Union, will take this opportunity.
He testified at the hearing and was very harsh on Lin Nian and Chu Zihang. Although there are different opinions on Caesar's side, at least in Schneider's opinion, the marriage application in front of him has revealed too much.
Red seals were stamped on the document. Schneider rejected the application and pointed out in the guidance that the application will be reported to the school review meeting truthfully and it is recommended to reapply after three months.
It wasn't because Schneider was leaning toward Angers that he rejected the marriage application because of his personal feelings. He gave the red seal of rejection because he knew very well that whether he approved or rejected the document, he would not have much influence on the final result of the document.
great meaning.
Not to mention whether Caesar Gattuso's marriage application is approved or not, even Angers and the vice-principal cannot make a decision, let alone him. In the end, the application still needs the approval of the school board above.
The destination is Norma's archives or the incineration plant.
The engagement of the heir to the Gattuso family can be as small as everyone celebrating the engagement ceremony at a one-night party. It can also be as big as alarming the entire mixed-race upper class and even the celebrities and powerful people in the superficial world.
, Jazz Princes.
Bringing this matter to the table at this time, let’s not talk about whether Caesar is showing favor to the family and the school board, but just saying that Caesar does not have some deep meaning, Schneider absolutely does not believe it, Caesar is indeed in a certain situation
He is surprisingly narcissistic and arrogant in some aspects, but he is not stupid. He knows what those people will think if his every move falls into the eyes of others. Although he does not care what other people think, it does not mean that he will give himself up to himself.
Looking for trouble.
The waters of the hearing have become increasingly muddy. The matter was originally a very simple matter, with factions hedging and power competing. However, the attitudes and private activities of all parties have made the originally clear-cut water muddy. Before the hearing was held,
No one knows how the outcome will be.
After closing the coffin of the marriage application, Schneider packed the documents into a drawer, locked it with the key and got up, ready to finish the day's work and go back to rest. But at this moment, the screen of his mobile phone suddenly lit up, and it showed that he had received it.
An email arrived from Norma.
Schneider took the phone and took a look at the number and title of the email. It turned out to be a complaint email, directed at the Executive Department. Usually, the Equipment Department and the Information Department receive the most complaint letters from students. The Executive Department receives complaint emails more recently.
This is the first time of the year. After all, many students dream of joining the executive department. They usually think about how to leave a good impression on the executive department, so how can they complain to them?
Following the curious nature of human beings, Schneider clicked on the email and glanced at the content inside. His originally calm and relaxed face suddenly tightened, and his silver-gray pupils shrank to a point. That was because he had been accidentally frostbitten and died like scorch marks.
The folds of the dough slowly expand and move like ice cracks.
[I heard that you are interested in Prince, and I thought we might be able to chat.]
His brain, which was originally hazy after staying up late at work, felt as if a piece of ice had entered it. Then a large amount of the extreme northern winter flooded his body from behind. Every nerve in his body was severely shaken, and the breath in his mouth seemed to be cold.
It also breathed out the cold air.
In fact, few people know where Schneider's injuries came from. His iron-faced face is like dry tree bark, his lungs are broken like bellows, his blood circulation is contaminated by dragon's blood, and there are countless root causes of diseases all over his body.
It was a secret shrouded in dust at the bottom of the archives of Kassel College, and it was also a tragedy that those who knew about it would never want to mention it again.
The "KallitNunaat" incident is buried in history.
In 2001, a user named Prince on the forum, for unknown purposes, openly published information about broken bronze fragments and strange heartbeats in the Greenland Sea, prompting the secret party to organize a Greenland ice operation.
During this operation, Professor von Schneider led the dive team. His students and fellow compatriots were diving to find the source of the heartbeat, but they all died. He met a dragon when he dived independently.
, he shot it, but he suffered severe frostbite and was contaminated by dragon blood. To this day, he can only rely on a ventilator to maintain his life.
After returning to the academy, he stopped taking students and became the head of the executive department. Many years later, Chu Zihang became his only student as an exception. In these years, he has been looking for the person with the user name of "Prince".
For Schneider, this word is taboo and has a unique meaning. It is not the 'Emperor', the title given to Lin Nian, nor the honorific title given to the Crown Prince in the court. In his life, 'Prince' was only associated with one person.
Hook - the sinner of the Greenland Sea, the culprit who once made him lose his students and close friends forever.
Various clues later revealed that the prince deliberately threw the bait to the secret party. No one knew what his purpose was, but it was obvious that he knew what would happen to those who took the bait and dived.
In the end, this bait also caused Schneider to lose the most important things in his life, and gained him a hatred that he will never forget until his death.
Schneider had been searching for the 'Prince' all his life, but to no avail, and kept going in circles. Today, when he thought there was no hope until he died, this anonymous email appeared.
After his nerve reflexes returned, Schneider turned around and looked at a hidden button under the desk near the upper side of the drawer. He stretched out his hand and stopped before his fingertips touched the button. Under the iron-gray mask
His eyes trembled slightly, and finally regained an iron-blooded indifference. He withdrew his hand, picked up his phone, quickly wrote an email, and clicked reply.
【Place.】
There was no question about the identity of the other party, because it was useless. There was no pretense of intimidation, because they were afraid of missing out. Some were just biting the hook. If this was a fishing trip by a caring person, Schneider, the scarred fish in the fish pond, would almost
He bit the hook without hesitation, trying to pull the bait and the person at the end of the fishing line down into the freezing deep water.
Wait, wait for a long time.
For Schneider, every second was like a year. He stared at the email on his phone and the anonymous emailer. There was a frightening aura all over his body. No one had ever seen the director of the execution department act like this.
Yes.\nMaybe there are, but those old friends were buried forever under the frozen soil of the past, and they are back today, clustering around this living corpse-like old man, reminding him
That hysterical pain.
The screen of his mobile phone rang with a "ding dong" and he received a new email. He clicked to read it.
From side to side it filled the whole door, towering over the lintel; it sucked the fire from the red urn and filled the cellar with a bone-chilling cold that was utterly death and void; it changed, turned,
Swirling, it seems like a vortex filled with dark ancient energy: it jumps, stretches, and drags its body forward into the cellar...]
After Schneidermo finished reading, he determined the location in his mind, closed the email, re-edited a new email, selected another recipient and sent it. After everything was done, he long-pressed the phone to turn it off and put it in the drawer.
Yao picked up the oxygen bottle on the trolley, walked to the door of the office, pushed the door open, and was overwhelmed by the darkness outside.
