Chapter 466 Angers is dying, the school director’s doubts
The King of Earth and Mountains——Su Mo.
Many people can understand the former name, and many people recognize the latter name, but if you put these two names together, most people will definitely be confused when they hear them for the first time.
What is this and what?
How could Su Mo, a dragon-slaying hero who was famous throughout the hybrid world, participated in three missions to defeat the Dragon King, and made extremely important contributions to the cause of dragon-slaying, suddenly become the Dragon King?
Is there such a ridiculous thing in the world?
Only a few people can remain calm in the face of danger and remain calm in the face of such changes.
For example - Su Mo.
"I see."
He nodded slightly in his heart and instantly understood Odin's plan.
As Su Mo said before, compared to Xia Mi, Su Mo is the important hub that connects the secret party's forces, Lu Mingze's forces, and Xia Mi's forces.
If Xia Mi's identity is simply revealed, it will not have much impact on the connection between the three parties.
As long as the operation is done well, Su Mo can still maintain his identity as a dragon slayer and guide and control the forces of the secret party, and the threat of Xia Mi's strength will not be reduced in the slightest.
But if it is Su Mo who is exposed, after Su Mo leaves, Xia Mi alone will obviously not be able to integrate the secret party forces easily. The two of them are good at different styles. With the character Xia Mi has established now,
There is no way to achieve close cooperation with Angers like Su Mo.
In this case, even if they abandon their vehicles to save their commanders, their control over the forces of the secret party will be weakened to a higher level.
It has to be said that Odin's vision is very vicious. He did not focus on Xia Mi just because his strength reached the God's Domain. Instead, he was keenly aware of the importance of Su Mo and focused on the most critical issue.
The method was used on Su Mo.
Su Mo's strength has not even reached the Dragon King level, but in Odin's eyes, he has a more important priority than Xia Mi.
As for Su Mo, he was completely in a psychological blind spot. When both parties knew each other's details, it was difficult for anyone to think at the first moment that the other party would deliberately report the wrong candidate.
After hearing Schneider's words, correcting his cognition and understanding Odin's plan, Su Mo did not ask emotionally or admit it, but asked calmly.
"Why do you say that?"
Next to Su Mo, Xia Mi, who was grabbing the umbrella handle and ready to transform into Jormungandr, the King of Earth and Mountains, was completely dumbfounded after hearing Schneider's words.
"Ha-?! What did you say?"
She couldn't believe her ears.
"Su Mo, King of the Earth and Mountains? You said Su Mo is the Dragon King?!"
Although Su Mo is indeed the king of the earth and mountains, and it is true that he lost this title to him, this is obviously not what Schneider said, right?
She was already ready to lift the table and show off the majesty of the Dragon King, but she didn't expect to find out at the most critical moment that it was Su Mo who Odin reported?
This guy must be sick!
"That's right! Natsumi-san, he is the other twin of the King of Earth and Mountain!"
After hearing Xia Mi's question, Schneider announced Su Mo's identity again in a heavy tone.
Seeing Su Mo's face that was as unshakable as a mountain, and seeing Xia Mi's face that was completely unfaithful, with an expression of genuine disbelief, Schneider felt certain in his heart, and immediately sank again.
Xia Mi's performance shows that she is unaware of Su Mo's identity, which means that she has not been bewitched by the Dragon King and is still a dragon slayer of the secret party. This is a good thing.
But Su Mo's performance was too calm. Even if Schneider was very reluctant to believe it, it was difficult to continue to be lucky at this moment.
After a pause, Schneider continued to speak in a chant-like tone.
"He is the snake that surrounds the atrium in Norse mythology. His honorable name is - Jormungandr!"
Just like the arrival of a myth, the name of the god reappeared on the earth. Regardless of whether they were theists or not, after hearing this honorable name read out from Schneider's mouth, the gun shooters aiming at Su Mo couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
Everyone's expressions became serious, including Schneider who was in the control room of the underground library. Everyone was prepared to die in battle.
The only person present who still had a somewhat confused expression on her face was Miss Xia Mi.
"..."
If Su Mo is Jormungandr, then who is she?
Even if she didn't mind Su Mo using her name, it was the first time she heard someone else being called Jörmungandr, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Seeing the confused expression on the girl's face in the scope, everyone present, including the professors and school directors who saw this scene through the screen, all showed expressions of sympathy.
The lover you like is actually the Dragon King. For a girl, there is nothing worse than this.
Judging from Xia Mi's face, it is obvious that he has not been able to accept the reality yet. This is normal. Human beings cannot adapt to such drastic changes so quickly.
Xia Mi's confusion was more powerful proof that she was indeed completely unaware of Su Mo's identity.
At this moment, facing the silence of everyone, Su Mo once again asked questions in a tone similar to that of a criminal suspect.
"Where is the evidence? It is against the rules to make such serious accusations against an S-class executive, right? Even if you are the head of the executive department, you cannot say such things in public without evidence. Do you want to
Do you want to kill the donkey?"
After raking skillfully, Su Mo paused and said again.
"In addition, regardless of whether your accusation is possible or not, I also participated in and led the plan to kill the Dragon King three times, and I just came back from killing a Dragon King. I have both credit and hard work. As for you, you have mobilized so many troops and directly
Just fighting with swords?"
The latter sentence is very naive from a political point of view. Positions are never negotiable. As long as the position is wrong, the achievements made in the past may be regarded as conspiracy and sugar-coated bullets at any time. Talk to politicians.
Feelings and contributions are the stupidest things.
As long as Su Mo's identity is confirmed as the Dragon King, he will inevitably be hunted by the entire secret party. Just like Lu Mingfei in the original work, this is a red line that cannot be touched.
However, the reason why he said this was not to use his own merit to bargain. This kind of behavior similar to proving his innocence was one of the things he disdained to do the most.
The reason why Su Mo said this was actually to observe the expressions of the executioners in front of him who were hostile to him.
The whitewashing of the righteousness is not important. Both Su Mo and the school board have a hundred rhetorics to defend their actions, but it is difficult for such righteous rhetoric to really impress people. Pre-war mobilization has always been a very difficult task.
For complex technical work, there must be something real that touches the emotions of the performers in order to fully mobilize their enthusiasm.
Su Mo's words just now were a hint that the secret party would burn bridges by crossing the river. Usually once these words are spoken, many people on the other side will be shaken no matter what.
After all, where is Su Mo's reputation and his position is that of an S-level executive, he is considered one of his own. If he and Schneider were competing in terms of authority, Su Mo should have a slight advantage.
But according to his observation, these executors rarely wavered, and many were full of hatred. This was not like the results that ordinary pre-war mobilization could achieve. Something must have happened that he didn't know about.
Thinking of the fact that Angers, who was now the biggest controller of Kassel College, had never shown up, Su Mo was heartbroken and immediately spoke.
"Minister Schneider, where is Angers? I want to see the principal!"
After hearing Su Mo's request, Schneider was silent for two seconds, took a deep breath and said.
"Of course there is evidence. Otherwise, who would doubt a dragon-slaying hero who has killed three dragon kings? As for where Principal Ange is now... shouldn't you know the best about this matter?"
"What's the meaning?"
Su Mo frowned slightly.
"Principal Angers was struck by ball lightning in the principal's office at 12:35 last night. He was seriously injured and on the verge of death. He is now in the intensive care unit with his life or death uncertain... Do you dare to say that this has nothing to do with you!"
Schneider asked in a low growl, clearly sounding like he was venting his emotions, but he also clearly stated the time, place and people.
"The principal is dying..."
After hearing the news, Su Mo looked slightly stunned.
Sure enough, in order to cut off the connection between them and the secret party, Odin actually attacked Angers!
No wonder these people looked so determined, and no wonder Schneider's tone was so gritty. With Ange's prestige, he deserved this treatment.
If Su Mo is the key to linking the three forces, Angers is the key to Su Mo's control of the Secret Party. As long as Angers is there, even if Su Mo is accused of being the Dragon King, Angers probably won't mind continuing to cooperate with him.
But once Angers is gone, the entire secret party will probably be in chaos. No one will be able to fully control the organization. The Gattuso family will of course withdraw, and Su Mo will not have much meat.
The Secret Party with Angers and the Secret Party without Angers are two different organizations. In order to prevent Su Mo from controlling the Secret Party, Odin would rather destroy it.
It has to be said that Odin is very cautious and only takes action when he is extremely sure. If Su Mo and Lu Mingze hadn't beaten him up together, they might not have been able to kill him so easily.
but--
"too naive!"
Su Mo commented calmly in his heart.
This level of turmoil was intended to shake Su Mo's plan to control the secret party, just like he thought that by assassinating the emperor, the people would not be oppressed.
I can't say he is stupid, but there is clearly something wrong with his direction.
Just like the characteristics shown in dealing with the Black King, Odin is extremely good at the meticulous planning, and also has extraordinary vision, courage and execution ability, but on the most critical and important issue,
But he often avoids talking about it, as if he is blind.
Just when Su Mo wanted to know the details, Schneider took the initiative to speak.
"We received your record of the battle in Moscow afterwards. You are the only hybrid in the world who can use the Thunder Speech Spirit to this extent. Do you think you can deny it?"
Schneider even clearly explained the basis for their suspicion of Su Mo.
Rather than simply accusing Su Mo of his crimes, he seemed to want to clearly explain the chain of evidence to Su Mo, hoping that Su Mo could refute it and prove himself.
After listening to Schneider's words, Su Mo shook his head.
"I am the only hybrid who can use the Thunder Word Spirit to this extent, but it is not difficult for the Dragon King to imitate my power."
It's actually very difficult. Except for the King of Sky and Wind himself, no other first-generation species can do this.
It seems that Odin did not use Time Zero to assassinate Angers like in the original work this time. Instead, he chose Indra, who is the same as Su Mo Yanling. As the king of sky and wind, his control over lightning is no less than that of Su Moyan.
ink.
No matter how fast Angers activates Time Zero, it can't compare to the jumping lightning. It's normal for him to be instantly killed by Odin.
"And, most importantly, when the principal was attacked last night, I had already boarded the principal's special plane with the dragon-slaying team and was rushing from the imperial capital to the Gattuso family. I think I have sufficient alibi.
?”
Su Mo pointed out the most critical doubt.
It's okay to accuse him of being the Dragon King. At worst, he will take the blame for Xia Mi. But accusing him of attacking Angers is a bit too careless, isn't it?
The time and place don’t match!
Upon hearing Su Mo's question, the members of the executive department present were slightly startled, and all showed confused expressions.
Yes!
It's eight o'clock in the morning now. At 12:30 last night, Su Mo and the Dragon Slaying Team had just boarded the plane. They were still on the other side of the earth. There was no possibility of committing suicide in terms of time or space, right?
His alibi are so numerous that there is no possibility of fraud. Did the school make something wrong?
The executives' antagonism toward Su Mo stemmed from their condolences for Principal Angers. After discovering that Su Mo might not have been the murderer who almost killed Angers, it became difficult for them to raise murderous intentions against this dragon-slaying hero.
Faced with Su Mo's questioning, Schneider fell silent.
Tens of seconds later, a voice came from the loudspeaker. It was not Schneider's, but the voice of another timid and immature girl who was slightly familiar.
"If Mr. Su Moxian... is a mixed race, this alibi can be accepted. However, if you are the Dragon King, you cannot be sure."
After thinking about the title and words, the girl mustered up the courage to speak.
"As far as I know, there is a technology called [Space Opening] in the Seven Kingdoms of Alchemy. If you are the Dragon King who has mastered this alchemy, then this alibi is useless to you!"
Even if Kassel College is surrounded by a barrier and is difficult to enter, you can still open the door near the school and quickly sneak into the school to assassinate Angers. As long as you master this technique, you can solve the space and time problems.
Hearing this, Su Mo didn't pay attention to the accusation that was full of loopholes. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the speaker, and asked slightly confused.
"Who are you? This voice sounds like I have a little impression of it."
"I, I am Charlotte...Ahh~Charlotte Gottingen!"
The girl seemed to want to announce her name in a dignified manner, but accidentally bit her tongue, and her tone suddenly became panicked.
"Oh! You are the school director who was told by Su Mo to cry at the last meeting!"
Xia Mi suddenly clapped his hands and said loudly.
"...Oh~Miss Xia Mi!"
When the embarrassing incident was mentioned in public, the girl immediately let out a cry of grief.
Xia Mi ignored the other party's pitiful voice and immediately raised his hand.
"Miss Charlotte, I have a question! I was with Su Mo all the time when the incident happened, and I didn't notice that he had left. Even if that [space opening] can ignore space, it can't ignore time, right?"
Whether it was for acting or to gather information, Xia Mi should side with Su Mo until the real evidence was revealed.
