"But the school board has never had the intention of destroying you or me, because we are not enemies, but partners. Even if we have separate factions and cut the cake on the conference table in a duplicitous way, from time to time we will not be able to do it because of each other.
Our actions tore our own flesh and blood and we engaged in furious tit-for-tat, but in the end, we are still moving forward under the same banner for the same ideal in the same general direction." Ange said calmly,
"If you are not an enemy, but you are facing each other tit for tat, the worst-case scenario is that one party is temporarily restrained by the other party in order to seize more power and resources from the other party. This is also the case for you, principal, or
A thorough analysis of the conflict between me and the school board." Lin Nian nodded to express his understanding. "Judging from the current situation, the school board and we will not completely fall out. It is indeed an indisputable fact that they are coming fiercely. It's just that they
The purpose of bringing a knife is not necessarily to kill me. At most, it is to cut my flesh and bleed me. Of course, this example does not mean that the school directors are trying to do something with me. They just want to restrain me to achieve their real purpose.
, and in the end this purpose is just a talk about interests and power."
"I see it very clearly and think clearly." Ange looked at Lin Nian with the same satisfaction as a father looking at his child, as if he got a paper full of red ticks, so the father should also give his child the due examination.
He was excited, so he gently touched the hidden button in the drawer.
Lin Nian felt the seat and the nanmu desk in front of him vibrate, and the bone china tea sets collided with each other, making a pleasant sound. With his right hand, he slightly moved the tea set tray into the table, lest the movement ruin the principal's favorite repertoire (afternoon
The classic bone china tea set in the tea is regarded as some kind of irreplaceable symbol by the students of Kassel College. Many people think that the tea set is probably the sacred relic of Principal Angers, just like Mapo Tofu is to the tea set.
Like a priest).
"So that's what the principal meant when he said he went upstairs to get downstairs better." Everything in Lin Nian's field of vision fell into darkness, and the sunlight in the patio disappeared. This does not mean that it is dark, or that the principal's office is under earthquake
Collapsed, and with the ability of night vision due to the violent bloodshed, he could clearly observe that the environment had become darker because the space they were in had changed.
The entire office sank, entering a space that was opaque on all sides, and continued to sink amidst the vibrations. It was no wonder that Angers had moved to the third floor before but did not pour a cup of hot tea and snacks for Lin Nian. If the table is now
If there is a teacup on the table, it will probably spill the tea on the table with the sinking movement.
"I thought that as the first student to experience my mobile office, you would be more shocked." Angers shrugged, seemingly not satisfied with Lin Nian's reaction.
"Principal, if you had seen the structure and 3D modeling of Baidi City in operation, you would not be too shocked by a sunken office elevator." Lin Nian said to the old guy cryptically.
He is also a person who has seen big events. He is not the young boy he just arrested from the coastal city who only cares about the scholarship... At the end of the sentence, he did not forget to secretly tease the old guy, "Actually, the principal
If you want to get good feedback, you should call Lu Mingfei. In terms of support, you can always trust his on-the-spot reaction."
In the darkness, embarrassment flashed across Ange's unmarked face, but then he returned to seriousness: "Mingfei has other plans for afternoon tea time, but he may not go there like you. We will go there later.
After all, different students have different teaching ideas and locations.”
The floor and desk shook again, and the speed slowly slowed down. Dark blue light diffused from the soles of the feet, as if there were water flowing all over the floor, but those were not real water flows, just water diffused in the light.
Ripples gradually lit up all around the office, and groups of shadows passed over Lin Nian's head, casting shadows. He put down the half piece of muffin he had touched in the dark and looked sideways, just in time to meet a slowly swimming by.
The bluefin tuna looked at each other. The big fish, which was more than two meters long, was swallowing bubbles. The streamlined fish body was graceful and moving under the dark blue light.
Lazy sea turtles swam under our feet, and schools of mackerel swam overhead at high speed. Looking around, we could see ripples of water and blue shadows all around. The principal's office had become an aquarium, and the walls around them had become hard glass.
Lin Nian, who was sitting in front of and behind the desk, was sitting in this huge glass tank, submerged in the deep water that could not be seen.
"This is our new fish tank, we are currently in
In the underwater passage of the fish tank." Angers raised his head and looked at a clumsy sunfish swimming by.
"Isn't it too extravagant to build an aquarium under the principal's office? It turns out that I don't usually see you in the principal's office. Do you always take your lunch break among the fish and chopsticks underground?" Lin Nian caught a glimpse of the office.
There is also a vinyl record player placed in the corner.
"Those who have the great dream of saving the world have to guard against the backstabbing of their allies all the time, so they have to have a proper rest time, right?" the old guy explained feebly, "Besides, this is not an aquarium, but the gene bank of the academy.
Studying dragons requires a large amount of biological genes for comparison. It existed when the academy was built. However, after the BF-CC-001 incident, the old fish tank was damaged due to changes in the earth's crust. The scorching earth veins stewed the old fish tank into ashes.
The fish tank is a pot of seafood, and the current fish tank was rebuilt when the college was rebuilt."
It was not difficult for Lin Nian to understand what Angers was talking about as the 001 incident. He nodded silently and then realized that the glass box containing him and Angers began to move laterally. The aquarium was not their destination, it was just a way.
It's just an "attraction". Instead of saying that the fish tank is built under the principal's office, it's better to say that the principal's office is just above the fish tank area.
"There has always been a huge space underground at Kassel College. This should be a secret that every student knows." Angers looked at Lin Nian who simply stood up and walked to the edge of the glass wall to observe the fish tank and said, "
In the next period of time, you will visit the most confidential area of Kassel Academy, which is also called the "ice cellar."
"If I remember correctly, the ice cellar should be the place where the academy keeps the most dangerous alchemy items and the weapons made by the people in the Equipment Department... In other words, this is the academy's other world. Lin Nian realized something,
There was a hint of complexity on his face reflected in the glass. Because combined with what Angers had talked to him when they went upstairs, he probably guessed what the end point of this journey was.
"No, specifically, the ice cellar is the collective name for the entire underground space of Cassel College. It not only exists as a secret vault, its space is even much larger than the mountaintop college on the ground, and there are many different things in it.
Facilities and departments that are convenient to appear on the surface, such as the working environment of department heads, are in the ice cellar. This is why the department heads in the college have always been so arrogant." Angers said with a little pride.
Said, "This is the most confidential and safest place in the college. Almost no one can invade here."
"But I heard that you, principal, were almost beaten up in the ice cellar that night. When the price of EVA was found, you hid in the body of a "pliosaur" to avoid the movement of the earth's veins caused by the first wave of Constantine's explosion.
"Lin Nian said casually, staring at a hammerhead shark that swam with the moving glass office out of curiosity.
Angers was stunned, slightly embarrassed, "How do you know this... Indeed, the ice cellar was invaded that night, and there were deep reasons. But speaking of it, what I regret most is the one recreated from a genetic copy.
The Cretaceous sample is the closest to a dragon that has been restored by hybrid species so far, but unfortunately it was nearly 50% hot when it was hoisted to the ground."
"The meaning of a vault is to be unlocked, so it makes sense for the ice cellar to be invaded." Lin Nian suddenly remembered that Angers seemed to have escaped disaster by hiding in the belly of the Cretaceous dinosaur, and could not help but comfort the old guy quietly.
A wave.
...In fact, if you think about it, the scene of rescuing the principal was probably a group of commissioners hurriedly performing a caesarean section to "give birth" to the principal? As an old man about 130 years old, he was cut open like an Easter turkey.
It's really a bit shameful.
"No, I don't think it was a human being who invaded the ice cellar that night." Angers didn't dwell too much on the embarrassing situation that had passed. He tapped his fingers slightly on the nanmu desk and looked at Lin Nian's back and said slowly,
"After all, the one who confronted me that night claimed to be the "Emperor."
In front of the glass cabinet, Lin Nian didn't react at all. He just put his palm on the glass casually. Angers behind the desk watched silently and interestingly as the hammerhead shark that had been following the book outside the office suddenly twitched for no reason.
Twisting its body and stirring up a wave of water, the shark twisted wildly and swam toward the deeper darkness of the aquarium as if it had suddenly seen a ghost. If the human sense of smell can smell pheromones, then probably the hammerhead shark at this moment
muddy
The skin of his body is emitting the smell of fear.
"The reaction was so big." Angers looked at the direction in which the shark was leaving and pointed.
"Normal reaction." Lin Nian put down his hand against the glass and said casually, "Although I am very interested in the topic the principal said, it is not our topic today, right? So I have reason to question principal, you are thinking of leaving no trace.
Have you ever broached the topic?"
Ange's eyes were slightly slanted, but his demeanor remained gentlemanly and generous. The old guy is indeed a human being who has been around for hundreds of years, and there is no trace of being exposed. "That's true, this is not today's topic, so let's skip it for now. Today's topic is
Or is it the school children's association and the not-so-optimistic situation we are facing now? Lin Nian, what do you think the school board's purpose is for you this time?"
