I have been pondering to this day, “Why is the Hilltop College located halfway up the mountain?”
“I don’t know, but I think this problem is the same as why there are no pearls in the Oriental Pearl Tower.”
Xue Fulai drove in from the main entrance of Kassel College. When the tires slowly rolled over the maple leaves blown down by the autumn wind along the road, the roots and veins of the leaves were crushed, which was the song of early autumn.
In the garden behind the blue-black carved iron railings at the gate, the rows of maple trees finally began to glow with gold, and the sunlight-colored leaves were slightly stained with red, but they were extremely red at this time of the year.
It's so thorough, it reminds me of the rouge on a girl's face, it's light and just right.
Listening to the soft sound of the car crushing fruits and leaves, Lin Nian also noticed the unexpected silence on campus. Maybe everyone had gone to a party and went crazy in the wine pool banquet in the clubhouse. Chu Zihang was also in the back seat.
Looking up at the old castle hidden in the sycamore forest through the window, there are a few leaves stuck in the gaps between the green and black bricks on the Gothic spire, falling down and fluttering into the ripples of the artificial lake, floating.
There was no trace.
This was his first time coming to Kassel College. The originally mysterious and unknown veil was finally blown away by the autumn wind, revealing his true face underneath.
As autumn approaches, this dark fortress that should have been as solemn as the Secret Party itself is now surrounded by maple leaves and sycamores, reminding people of a lady with gold powder covering her shoulders. Maple and sycamores are the stitching of her dress.
, when the fallen leaves blown up by the blowing autumn wind reveal the ancient buildings below, one can get a glimpse of her original solemnity under the gorgeous etiquette.
Xue Fulai drove to an open-air parking lot near the school gate and stopped. Lin Nian and Chu Zihang got out of the car one after another. When opening the trunk, Lin Nian scanned around and saw no one on the road. The usual green ones
There were students lying on the lawn reading books. The crimson cobblestone road was deserted today. On the top of the church in the distance, rows of white pigeons stood pecking their feathers and looking left and right.
"Are you really going to have a party?" Lin Nian took out his suitcase and looked at Lin Xian who turned off the engine and got out of the car, "Is the car parked here? It's far from the girls' dormitory, right? Senior sisters are lazier than pigs.
It’s not like you don’t know that next time you need to use the car, she will be very depressed if you find she has to travel so far, right?”
“Now you start to feel sorry for your senior sister? Why don’t you feel sorry for your sister and me?”
"Lazy people are blessed with laziness." Lin Nian sighed and raised his hand to close the trunk. Chu Zihang on the side also looked up at the soldier who seemed to be waiting for the next instruction. Actually, this is true.
After knowing the purpose of Kassel College, Chu Zihang always felt that this college was a mysterious organization similar to the KGB, and even the beautiful autumn scenery could not eradicate his prejudice.
Probably only after he truly meets those students who are not doing well can he completely change his views on Kassel College.
"Where are you going next? All the teachers and students in the school have a day off today. Maybe there is no one at the admissions office? The freshmen have already enrolled in advance and have all gone to our psychology department for a psychological consultation. According to the new student list
I see you two are the last batch." Lin Xian took Lin Nian's arm and walked towards the cobblestone path covered with maple leaves. Chu Zihang, who was beside him, also followed behind with his suitcase.
“Then what did we miss? The lengthy freshman assembly and opening ceremony?” Lin Nian said indifferently.
"The opening ceremony was quite good. The president of the Lion Heart Club graduated. The principal specially invited him to be the speaker at the opening ceremony to encourage and impart experience to the subsequent little dragon-slaying warriors. There were many emotional female students and even male students.
We were all in tears. The atmosphere was so good that many teachers from our psychology department were on standby in case someone collapsed and fainted." Lin Xian thought for a while and said, "The freshman assembly is not interesting, but I heard that the student union and the Lion Heart Club are both
We sent a representative there once, it seems to be preparing for the club to attract new blood, right?"
“It’s such a pity for them.” Lin Nian smiled and looked back at Chu Zihang, who was looking sideways at the white doves on the church. “The real protagonist is always the last one to appear.”
“You are also the protagonist.” Lin Xian said with a smile, “The Student Union and the Lion Heart Club searched for you among the freshmen for a while, so they came to the Psychology Department to look for me.”
"Just ignore them." Lin Nian sighed, "It's like a pyramid scheme."
"Shall you go back to your dormitory later or go to the Admissions Office and register yourself on the form? After you two register, all the freshmen will be here, and they will be waiting for the 3E exam the day after tomorrow." Lin Xian asked.
Chu Zihang raised his head slightly. During the month in the coastal city, Lin Nian also told him more or less about Kassel College. Even though the 3E exam was one of them, Lin Nian didn't reveal much.
I just said that there will be an entrance exam. It is not difficult and does not require any special preparation. Just take it as it comes.
“Don’t worry too much. The 3E exam is a blood test. There is no need to review and memorize questions. You can think of it as a ‘talent test’.” Lin Nian said.
“You mean I have no talent.” Lin Xian turned his head and looked at Lin Nian.
“You have the talent to be a monster.” Lin Nian immediately changed his words, “You are a normal person, not like us, who are little monsters with horns and tails.”
“You are a big monster.” Lin Xian was also amused. He smiled softly and reached out to brush off the autumn leaves stuck to his shoulders.
"The dormitory allocation is probably random by Norma, but because we entered school late, many dormitories are probably full. I will apply to Norma to see if I can arrange senior brother to be in the same dormitory as me." Lin
Nian turned his head and looked at Chu Zihang beside him and said.
“It won’t be crowded?” Chu Zihang asked, “I can just obey the arrangement of the college.”
"No." Lin Nian shook his head, "Actually, I was in a similar situation in the first half of my year, so I was arranged by Norma to live with a senior senior brother. We were the only two in the whole dormitory. That senior brother was quite nice.
, he just likes to snore while sleeping, if you mind, then I will kick his bed board when he snores, and he will sleep on my upper bunk."
“I don’t really care about this,” Chu Zihang said.
“Let’s go to the Admissions Office to register first, and then go to the dormitory building to put our luggage. Oh, by the way, have you bought a new mobile phone card?”
“I opened Global Communication.” Chu Zihang said.
"It's so rich. In fact, you can just apply for a new card. You can submit the application directly to Norma. Norma is the artificial intelligence secretary of our college. She will back up your personal information in the information database. Any notifications from the college will be passed.
Mobile phone text messages will contact you directly, which will most likely be quite frequent. If you use Global Messenger, you have to spend money to receive text messages, right? It’s not cost-effective.”
“You can also bind your mobile phone number to the Night Watch Forum, and Norma can also contact us through private messages in the background of the Night Watch Forum. That’s what I did, and I saved a lot of text message charges every month.” Lin Xian added.
Chu Zihang looked at the two siblings who were calculating and couldn't say anything to refute. He could only nod silently and remember these thoughtful tips. Although he and Lin Nian were admitted in the same class, they now looked more like each other.
The senior was instructing the new students, and he could only nod, but he didn't care.
"Oh, by the way, you probably have to come with me to the office of the director of the Executive Department." Lin Nian recalled that when he was on a mission in China, Minister Schneider seemed to have mentioned that he should go to the Executive Department as soon as he returned to the college.
report.
Although the mission details were uploaded through PAD in China, it was better to meet him. After all, he also had some questions to ask the other party. It happened that these questions also related to Chu Zihang beside him. If his guess was correct, the other party
But it was the person Minister Schneider wanted by name.
Just when I was about to elaborate, a shrill air-raid siren suddenly sounded. The shrill howl echoed throughout the college. The white doves in the church suddenly fluttered their wings and flew high. Many small animals sounded in the sycamore forest and maple trees.
Lin Nian and Lin Xian's expressions on the cobblestone road suddenly became frightened as they started to run away in a slight commotion.
"What's wrong?" Chu Zihang also immediately became alert. The muscles under his school uniform were as hard as iron wood. He sank slightly and took half a step back, not to escape, but to respond to the unknown.
Where did the unknown crisis demonstration come from?
In Lin Nian's sight, a white light appeared on the top of the church in the distance. Chu Zihang also noticed the dazzling light, and the two of them looked up at the same time.
But in the next second, a cloud of blood mist suddenly exploded less than half a meter in front of Lin Xian, like a coquettish flower blooming, floating and falling like smoke, as if in the air.
A red rain fell.
Long-distance sniping.
After Chu Zihang realized what had happened, he immediately lowered himself and prepared to lie down. At this time, he discovered that the box at Lin Nian's feet had been opened at some point.
The semi-open box was filled with heavy arms and firearms, and the two most important long objects crossing in the middle were missing one and were currently being held in Lin Nian's hands.
Ju Yiwen Zezong lay diagonally in front of Lin Xian. Lin Nian's left hand, which was held by Lin Xian, did not move. His right hand grasped the unsheathed ancient alchemy sword and forcefully used it in an instant.
The sheath hit the sniper bullet.
“Frigga bullet?”
The first time Lin Nian saw the red mist, he recognized it as a tranquilizer bomb from the Equipment Department. But since it was a sneak attack, why use tranquilizer bombs? Instead of using solid bullets with a faster rate of fire?
"Oops."
Before he had time to think about this problem, Lin Nian suddenly felt the hand holding his hand sink, and realized that he had made a mistake.
Beside him, Lin Xian didn't seem to realize what was happening. The red mist floated in front of her, causing her to sneeze and take a few breaths. In less than a few seconds, her feet were hit.
He staggered, unable to speak any words, and was knocked unconscious by the powerful anesthetic.
Chu Zihang suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Nian who was standing aside. Although he had never been good at reading the air and could not understand people's micro-expressions and hidden meanings, now he could clearly read the people around him.
Lin Nian's face showed a very strong feeling of displeasure and irritability.
