After the invasion war, Tiangong College lifted its alert mode.
The students and staff in the underground shelter survived the crisis with almost no risk.
After the war, Tarot explained the reason why she came back from the dead just now.
It turns out that Tarot really died once just now. But she has a unique dual humanoid core that is different from other humanoid girls. Moreover, the dual cores operate separately, which is equivalent to having a double in another dimension.
The strap on Tarot's leg used to fix the Tarot cards is not an ordinary thing. It is a special "substitute strap" specially made by the Spirit King Qi. It is a one-time use. If the substitute is destroyed, the strap will break. This is the strap.
Saved Tarot's life at a critical moment.
Although the process is thrilling, the final outcome is good.
Tiangong Academy, a secret room in the underground shelter.
Xin Jing was standing outside the door of the secret room. He was wearing a black dress, white gloves, and a pair of flat glasses.
After finishing arranging his clothes, Xin Jing waved his hand to the entourage beside him, indicating that he could go back.
Pushing open the door of the underground shelter, the person detained inside the door is the driver of the "Knight".
The other intruders and Tiangong College were handed over to the federal rescue team, but this man was left in the college.
In order to clarify some things, Xinjing detained him under the pretense of stolen items.
There is not much space inside the cell, and the lamp can only barely illuminate one corner of the room, making it appear even darker.
The intruder, that is, the unknown man, was restrained by the strongest chains. The chains on the man's body rattled, but his expression remained unruly.
"It seems that locking you here has not weakened your strong will."
Xinjing continued calmly: "Before handing you over to the judicial department of the capital, I would like to ask you a few questions, as a condition of helping you reduce your charges. This request is not too much for you losers.
"
"What a joke! We invaded Tiangong College with the will to die, and we don't need your false sympathy." The prisoner said coldly, not wanting any chance at all.
Xinjing glanced at him and continued: "Whether you accept it or not is up to you. According to the appraisal of our academy's researchers, that mecha-like weapon is a brand-new creation technology. Your target should be the academy
Confidential information in it."
"Who knows? We are just underground mercenaries, our purpose is just to get what the sponsor wants." The prisoner grabbed the chain hard and vented his dissatisfaction.
Xin Jing picked up the iron bar next to him and forcibly propped up the prisoner's chin.
"Underground mercenary? But how could that important technology be handed over to a mercenary? There is no need to add any more nonsense to such an obvious lie." Xin Jing said.
The prisoner looked surprised and whispered: "As expected, I still can't hide it from you. You guessed right, our target is indeed the research data of Tiangong College, and in the end, choosing to die together is just a helpless move. And that black ray
It was also given to us by the people who supported us behind the scenes, but we didn’t expect it to be so powerful.”
Xin Jing continued to interrogate: "Let's not talk about anything else. Why do you need to get the research information of the college? Are you also a research organization?"
The prisoner smiled bitterly: "It can be said that if I had to use one word to describe it, it would be 'an association that hopes to change the times'. It is just a group of mad scientists from the past."
"The research materials in Tiangong College are of great significance to our research, coupled with the instigation of the mysterious person..."
"Okay, my question ends here. I will help you reduce your charges in a few days."
I won't forgive your behavior
Because, and the final result of the sentence must be the death penalty."
"We don't want to make things too big. We really didn't send that black ray intentionally," the prisoner argued.
"I know, but you were the one who pressed the launch button in the end."
"Then what should you do with the remaining remnants of your party?" Xin Jing said deliberately while looking at the prisoners.
The prisoner sighed: "Don't worry, there are only a dozen people in our organization. After the mission fails, they will automatically retire, so don't embarrass them."
"By the way, can you agree to my last request?"
"Say it."
Yu Chen really didn't expect that the prisoner's last condition was to take the initiative to meet him.
After Xin Jing explained to him, he quickly rushed over.
There were only one or two tied prisoners and a man in formal clothes in the room.
The prisoner looked at Yu Chen curiously, "You are the spy we planted in Tiangong College, student Yu Chen. It seems that we have all been deceived."
Yu Chen confessed: "Well, I told the hospital all your information in advance."
"It's not easy to help both parties. I'd better give you what I promised you." The prisoner winked at Yu Chen alone.
The prisoner took out another message note and said softly: "Remember to get it from... there."
Yu Chen was stunned for a few seconds, then took the message.
The heart mirror did not stop him, but monitored the prisoner's other small movements.
After the interrogation was completed, Xin Jing took Yu Chen back to campus.
"Today afternoon, Tiangong College will make an exception for a holiday. There are three days of holiday in total. Yu Chen, please have a good rest." Xin Jing revealed the plan to Yu Chen in advance.
"I see."
Central Commercial Street, Foreign Information Bookstore.
The information note pointed to the mysterious bookstore very clearly.
Could it be that the owner of the bookstore is related to the intruder?
No, no, no, all fantasy is of little significance until evidence is obtained.
Yu Chen took a deep breath and pushed open the dark bronze door of the bookstore again.
The store manager, the boss, stood at the counter with a straight face.
"Hello, store manager, I came here today not to read a book, but to confirm this thing."
Yu Chen took out the message note.
"So they have failed, and you have indeed obtained the key to promote the era just as I predicted." The store manager still wore a silver mask.
"So the store manager is really working with the intruders? Why did you do this?" Yu Chen couldn't believe it.
The store manager hung the [Closed] sign on the door handle, and then led Yu Chen to the secret room of the bookstore.
"Please take a seat. Actually, there is no specific purpose. I just want to change the times." The store manager took out a wooden chair.
Yu Chen did not sit down obediently, but said fiercely: "But what's going on with the momentum of wanting to sacrifice Tiangong College? I won't accept it with such a frivolous reason."
"Sorry, I don't know about that kind of thing."
"I'm just too excited."
"Young man, are you interested in hearing my story?"
Yu Chen nodded.
The store manager began to tell: "I used to be a scholar. If I want to obtain the reality of this world, on this basis, I must have endless knowledge."
"But after reading a lot of books, I discovered that the reality of this world is in a state of constant flux. And I was just walking on a retro road. At that time, although I was not willing to accept it, I was also moved by life.
I was forced to give in to reality, so I opened this unique bookstore.”
"Afterwards, I met a group of people who shared the same goals as me. They were also talented in special fields and unwilling to settle for mediocrity. Perhaps they were attracted to each other and we formed an association."
"In the end, as you can see, the radical faction in the association chose to collude with other underground forces, while the conservative faction I belong to likes to concentrate on research. The recent incident was planned by the president of our association. If the task
If it fails, the association will automatically dissolve."
Yu Chen quietly listened to the store manager's monologue, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.
"Okay, the brand new creation they promised you is in this box. As the hard work of most people, I hope you can cherish it." The store manager took out a black box.
"Definitely." Yu Chen took the box solemnly.
Next, the store manager talked to Yu Chen about the research on mechanics. The store manager's thinking was different from that of ordinary lecturers, which allowed Yu Chen to gain a more comprehensive and different experience.
"After listening to your words, I apologize to your Tiangong College on behalf of the members of the association." The store manager bowed deeply.
"Forget it, everything has passed away. Manager, you can't represent the entire association, and I can't represent all the members of Tiangong College. So there is no need for you to apologize." Yu Chen explained his apology from another angle.
"Well, you are welcome to come over from now on."
After greeting the store manager, Yu Chen left the bookstore.
As soon as he went out, he bumped into a human.
"I'm sorry, eh? Xinjing...senior?"
The human being hit by Yu Chen was the principal of Tiangong College, Xin Jing.
It turns out that Xin Jing has been waiting for Yu Chen at the door of [Yiwenlu Bookstore].
"Well, I'm ensuring your personal safety. Have you finished handling your personal matters?" Xin Jing was wearing ordinary casual clothes.
"It has been processed."
"Lord Spirit King Qi will summon you next, so come with me."
The headquarters of the spirit of creation mechanism, Senluo Vientiane Tower.
In the leader's office, Spirit King Qi, as Tarot's nominal guardian, is educating Tarot who has just returned to the headquarters.
The invasion of Tiangong Academy has come to an end for the time being, and Tarot has also taken a vacation.
"Tarot, I told you before that Tarot cards actually have upright and reversed positions. So do you know why your humanoid weapon tarot cards don't have upright and reversed positions?" Spirit King Qi sat on the sofa.
Teaching tarot.
Tarot was wearing neat Gothic clothes and stood in front of Kai with a look of enjoyment on his face.
"Tarot doesn't know."
Spirit King Qi continued: "Because I don't want to leave your destiny to an uncertain divination. If your heart is not bound by the upright and reverse positions, then you can decide for yourself different, even completely opposite
Destiny. You can lose to anyone, but you cannot lose to yourself."
"Um."
"This battle was really fierce. It broke the [Stand-Aid Strap] and disabled the other Stand. It seems I have to spend a lot of time repairing it again." Spirit King Qi showed a helpless expression, "But
Tarot, just be okay."
"I'm really sorry. If it weren't for the owner's careful attention, Tarot would no longer be in this world."
Tarot's big, watery eyes made those who blamed her unable to be cruel.
Spirit King Qizhen didn't expect Ta Luo to react like this, so he could only say: "Hey, I didn't say Ta Luo that you did something wrong. Don't feel guilty. You performed very well in Tiangong College."
"Well, thank you for your care, Master. Tarot will definitely pay attention next time." Tarot regained some of his energy after being praised by his master.
"By the way, Yu Chen will come over to meet me later, Tarot, please stay away for the time being."
