Manstein's watch issued an early warning. His watch was a terminal monitor that could monitor the status of the host at all times. The green flash and vibration indicated that the security system had entered a dormant state.
But the security system shouldn’t be sleeping at this time!
To be precise, NOMA's security system operates 24 hours a day and never sleeps!
"Execution Department, send someone to the library quickly!" Manstein quickly entered the elevator while talking on the phone.
Professor Guderian stuffed the Ice Sea fragments back into the glass jar and put them back on the bookshelf. He squeezed into the elevator closely behind his old friend.
The buttons on the first floor lit up, and the elevator carried the two people down quickly.
There was a rapid knock on the door in the lobby. After getting out of the elevator, Manstein quickly went to open the door.
The cool night breeze carried the moonlight and poured into the hall. A cold and thin figure stood at the door. The man was wearing a black windbreaker and a pair of cowhide military boots. He looked like an American warlord in the 1960s.
"Professor Mans, please come and make a trip in person." Manstein bowed slightly.
Guderian on the side looked slightly embarrassed.
Mans Rundstedt, one of the absolute talkers in the execution department, the captain of the tugboat "Monach", has performed numerous high-level tasks with a very high degree of completion, and is the leader of Ye Sheng, Shude Aki and Nuo.
Nuo's tutor is known for being strict in the college and is known as an "examination maniac". The roll call and in-class exams in each class are parallel, which leads to a very high failure rate.
Not only students, but also very few professors are not afraid of him.
"It's a matter of duty." The middle-aged man named Mance nodded, "Why did Norma's security system enter a dormant state?"
"It's not clear yet. The surveillance system and infrared system did not capture any traces of the intruder. I guess it is possible that Norma turned off the security system on her own." Manstein subconsciously avoided Professor Mans's sharp gaze.
.
"Shut it down by itself? It's possible. After all, no one can break through the layers of defense and reach the central computer room, unless it is an enemy at the Dragon King level. But that kind of enemy obviously won't act so sneakily, so only the situation you mentioned can be used.
accept."
"Norma, why did you turn off the security system?"
Mance asked loudly, his deep voice echoing in the empty hall.
When Mance finished asking this question, all the lights in the hall suddenly lit up in an instant, like countless miniature suns being ignited at once, illuminating every inch of the library.
Tens of thousands of reference books are displayed on dozens of rows of carved cherry wood bookshelves. The green-shaded desk lamps on the library seats emit a gentle glow, and the darkness of the night is driven away without a trace.
However, except for the three figures in the center of the hall, the entire library was empty.
"Professor Mance, Professor Manstein, Professor Guderian, good evening. I am conducting self-checking for Trojans and viruses. The security system will go all out to detect virtual terminals. The external real-life defense system needs to be
Give way."
An elegant female voice sounded in the hall.
"Your isolation system and firewall should be world-class. Is it necessary to conduct self-checks late at night?" Professor Manns asked.
"It's necessary, sir. Doing it late at night when no one is around will not affect the normal order of the day." Norma replied.
"But when the security system stops running, your defense is at its weakest. This kind of thing should be done under supervision." Professor Mans frowned slightly.
"I don't think dragons understand and control high technology to such a precise degree, let alone the most cutting-edge technology in the world."
"We can never be careless when facing dragons. They are far more powerful and cunning than we imagine in every aspect!" Professor Mans emphasized, "How long will it take for self-examination?"
"The first phase has been completed, the system has been restarted, and the test results show no abnormalities." Norma replied, "Sorry for disturbing you all late at night."
"It's okay. System security is more important. It's best to conduct the next phase of testing with a guardian." Mance shook his head gently and did not feel that the trip was in vain. "It is already late at night, and we should evacuate.
Yes. Good night, madam."
"Have a nice night, good night, gentlemen."
The lights in the hall suddenly went out, leaving only a few warm yellow floor lamps guiding the way to the library door.
Mance took the lead to leave, with Manstein and Guderian following him like primary school students. When he reached the door, Mance seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned back, staring at the two of them like a hawk.
"When I entered the door, I checked the access control record. It showed that the two of you had been staying on the top floor of the library just now. If I remember correctly, that should be the ancient books area where high-confidential documents are placed. I am very curious about what profound academic issues can make you two
Studying so sleeplessly and without food and sleep in the middle of the night?"
Mance's eyes were synonymous with fierceness. Under his solemn and frosty gaze, Guderian's back was so cold that he shrunk his neck.
He quietly looked at Manstein aside and found that his always majestic old friend was not much better than him. Manstein's eyes averted and his lips pursed tightly.
Guderian knew that this was a sign of his old friend being overly nervous, just like him scratching his head.
"If there is no reasonable enough explanation, I will truthfully report the situation to Professor von Schneider and President Angers of our executive department. At that time, how the college will characterize your behavior will be beyond my control."
Mance is obviously not a character who can be fooled easily. His academic research level is higher than that of Manstein and slightly lower than that of Guderian. But in terms of vision and ability, the two of them combined cannot compare to him!
"Unknown blood descendant." Manstein suddenly said in a deep voice.
"It's over! Lu Ming must become a silverback gorilla for human research." Guderian opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. His mind was in a mess.
"Unknown blood descendant?"
Mance repeated it in a low voice and narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't know what Manstein was trying to confuse with him, but obviously the word "unknown blood descendant" successfully aroused his interest.
"We have a very bold idea." Manstein leaned over Mansi's ear and lowered his voice.
"As we all know, the Black King in Nordic mythology has many enemies. From Odin to the White King, each of his opponents is extremely powerful and is eyeing him on the throne. So, do these guys who can be called 'gods' also stay?
Where are the blood descendants? Just like us, the blood descendants of the Black King. If we find these blood descendants and then unite and twist them into a rope, what a powerful help it will be!"
"Unite all blood descendants?" Mance's eyes widened, obviously shocked by Manstein's bold and earth-shattering remarks.
After hearing this, Guderian was almost frightened and passed away. Looking at his old friend's calm face, his heart was beating violently and reached the top of his throat.
