"I want to know what happened to you and your father that night?" Angers asked straight to the point.
"There were a lot of black shadows. I didn't know what they were. They were running faster than the cars." Chu Zihang narrated calmly, "My father stepped on the accelerator all the way. At the end of the elevated road was a beam of light, and there was a tall man in the light."
"Is there a man standing in the light?" asked Ange.
"The tone of voice was more like 'god' than a human. I couldn't see his appearance clearly, but I saw my father break through the encirclement of the black shadow and fight with him. He swung his knife at that thing and turned his head to yell at me to leave quickly." Chu Zihang said expressionlessly, "I listened to him and drove away from the viaduct. I didn't dare to look back. I didn't regret it until I escaped. But the viaduct was blocked by the government. It was reported in the news the next day. I went back to the viaduct several times afterwards, but found nothing."
Lying is not something Chu Zihang is good at, so he didn't intend to lie to Ange's question. Chu Zihang answered very sincerely. Except for slightly concealing Odin's appearance and the conversation between Chu Tianjiao and Odin, Chu Zihang almost reproduced the situation of that rainy night for Ange in the most refined language.
"Professor Schneider told me that your bloodline awakened that night," said Ange.
"Yes, that night, I heard some sounds, and later I learned that it was the call of the ancient dragon." Chu Zihang nodded.
"Do you know that your father is a mixed-race?" Angé glanced at Chu Zihang's expressionless face.
"I didn't know it before, but I knew it after I found information about Kassel College." Chu Zihang said truthfully.
"Do you think you accidentally entered the Nibelung that day?" Ange asked.
"I don't know, but it feels very similar." Chu Zihang thought about it and shook his head, "I can't be sure, because I have never found the entrance to the Nibelungen."
"Chu Zihang, I have always believed that you are an honest child. You did not deceive me at all with what you said just now..." Angers' lighthearted tone suddenly stopped. In the next sentence, his words suddenly became serious, "Except for one of the sentences."
Angé looked into Chu Zihang's eyes, and Chu Zihang also looked into Angé's eyes, neither giving in in momentum.
"You said that when you and your father met that 'God', you didn't see his appearance clearly, right?" Angé's tone was sharp, and his pair of turbid and vicissitudes eyes were shining with brilliance at this time, as if he wanted to see through Chu Zihang's thoughts.
Chu Zihang's eyes rarely avoided Angers' questioning, but he remained silent in the face of Angers' questioning... This is his personality. People who know him can tell which of his words are lies, but even if he lied, he would not deny it, at most he would not admit it. Stubborn silence is the most Chu Zihang can do.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so harsh on the child. Isn't 'happy education' always advocated by our Kassel Academy?" Pompey seemed to be unable to bear the serious atmosphere in the conference room and suddenly interrupted to smooth things over. "Ange, you are so old, don't play tricks on children. The more you question them, the less they will tell you. Just like my son sometimes doesn't want to talk to me. Young people and old people have little in common. When I was young, I was even more rebellious than them. You have to understand."
Ange turned his head and gave Pompey a look that said "you'd better shut up", but Pompey didn't even look at Ange and completely ignored his warning.
"If you want your students to be open with you, then you should be open with them too. I've been listening to you guys talking for a long time, and you're just competing to see who's the best at beating around the bush, right?" Pompey crossed his legs and said carelessly, "You're afraid of stepping on a landmine. There are only a few words, and whoever says them first will be blown to death, right? Nibelung, Dragon King, Odin, etc..."
The expressions of Lu Mingfei and the others changed completely, including Chu Zihang. No one's expression could remain good. When the name "Odin" came out of Pompeii's mouth, they all realized that the academy's understanding of this incident and what it had investigated was deeper than they thought.
"Pompeii!" Ange's voice was rarely filled with anger. "We agreed that this name should not be mentioned without permission. Besides, if someone really wants to bring this up, it shouldn't be you!"
"Aren't I worried about you? You guys are so unhappy with your conversation. I see that you won't be able to finish it tomorrow at this rate." Pompey shrank his neck in a sly manner, "Okay, okay, blame me, blame me. I'm a good person who did the wrong thing. My kindness was not rewarded, okay? You guys keep chatting."
Pompey didn't say anything else, but the atmosphere in the meeting room was filled with a strange feeling. Angé stared at the scattered documents on the table in front of him without saying a word, while Lu Mingfei exchanged glances silently with Nuonuo and Chu Zihang. The atmosphere was as quiet as death.
It wasn't until a few dozen seconds later that the door of the conference room was knocked again.
No one answered for a long time, then the door was gently pushed open and the white-haired girl poked her head in.
"I'm sorry, I knocked on the door, but no one answered me." The girl looked at the people in the room and asked weakly, "Can I come in?"
Angre nodded.
Jiude Aki walked into the room, holding a sealed file bag in front of her chest. Compared to the things Caesar and Susie brought before, the things in Jiude Aki's bag were bulging. She carefully placed the file bag in front of Ange and spoke in a very low voice.
"Principal, this is what you wanted." Shude Aki bowed.
"Please sit down." An De nodded.
After Jude Aki bowed again, she took her first steps cautiously. Even if she had not been there before, even the dullest person could have seen that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room. Jude Aki nodded and greeted everyone she passed by with a kind smile, but she did not dare to smile too loudly for fear of becoming a fuse.
Finally, Jiude Aki sat down next to Ye Sheng. She used her eyes to ask Ye Sheng what happened in the room. Ye Sheng just patted her hand gently, sighed, and shook his head silently.
Ange opened the leather bag brought by Jiude Yaji, took out two rectangular objects from it and placed them on the table. They were two videotapes, which looked like they were taken out of a surveillance device intact.
"Is there a projector in this conference room?" Angers suddenly asked.
Everyone's eyes were on Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei was originally planning to nod and take the videotape from Ange, but a guy who had been silent all this time suddenly showed up at this time.
Chapter 1028 A Traitor
A wretched fellow came up to Ange, bowed and nodded to take the two videotapes away, and found the projection equipment in the conference room like a pug.
"Principal, here it is!" The pug waved at Ange and pointed at the projector, wagging its tail like a real dog. "Oh, it's a new model with 1080p high-definition pixels. It must be very exciting to play movies on it!"
There was only one person in the entire conference room who had the mood to say such obscene words in such an important occasion... It was not Lu Mingfei, but his good roommate and senior brother, Finkel.
As if he didn't notice the surprised looks of Lu Mingfei and the others, Finkel happily inserted one of the videotapes into the projector and pressed the play switch.
There were a few rustling sounds of electricity, and a blurry image appeared on the projector screen, and everyone's eyes shifted over.
That was the perspective of a car, speeding in a rainy night. It was pitch black all around and the city was as quiet as death. There was only the sound of heavy rain hitting the car windows and the road, and the swaying shadows of the trees on the roadside were blown by the heavy rain, like swaying ghosts.
"Sports car." Lu Mingfei whispered.
He meant that from the perspective of the video, it was recorded from the dashcam of a sports car. Because the car's posture was very low, it was driving very fast, and the roar of the engine was very aggressive, judging from Lu Mingfei's experience, it was a rear-wheel drive, high-horsepower sports car.
A sports car driving on a rainy night, combined with the speed of the car and the environment outside the car, Lu Mingfei had a familiar and ominous premonition in his heart.
"Damn, there's no signal on my phone!"
"Lu Mingfei, where are we now?"
"If you ask me this question for one minute, I can still answer you... I'm sorry, I don't recognize this road either. As far as I can remember, there is no such road in this city."
This is the sound in the video... the voices of three different people. These three voices are very familiar and everyone present can tell that the owners of these three voices are Finkel, Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo. Obviously, when this video was recorded, at least three of them were in this car.
Suddenly, a strange "rustling" sound was heard in the video. After a while, the "rustling" sound stopped, and the low and solemn voice echoed in the entire conference room, like an ancient bronze bell echoing in a church.
Caesar frowned. He had the most sensitive hearing system among all the people present. He could tell that this was a sound made by someone... or some creature, and it seemed like it was laughing.
"Damn it, you scared me!" Finkel's voice appeared again in the video, "Has the signal been restored?"
"It seems to be foggy ahead." Nuonuo's voice came out.
At the same time, the video footage became even more blurred. A thick fog seemed to be rising in the dark wind and rain in the distance. The bright xenon lights on the front of the car could not penetrate the thick fog. The entire camera seemed to be automatically covered with a layer of mosaic, and from time to time, snowflake images and electric current sounds symbolizing unstable signals flashed by.
"It shouldn't be foggy with such heavy rain... Damn it, why is my heart beating faster and faster? It seems like something bad is going to happen. My bad luck is always very good. I'm not cursing us, but I really have a bad feeling. Should we turn around?"
This is Fingle's voice.
"It's too late." Lu Mingfei's voice was very low.
"What did you say? The music is a bit loud!" Finkel shouted.
"We've arrived." Lu Mingfei's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, "Our destination!"
At the same time, the projector in the conference room turned pale white, and the video footage was interrupted. Only the bronze-like low voice echoed in the huge conference hall, seeming to be there and not there, as if an ancient "god" was laughing in the distance.
Everyone - except Caesar and the other newcomers, and Finkel who was guarding the projector - Lu Mingfei and the others had ugly faces, including Eiry. Eiry also had a rare stern face. No matter how naive she was, she should have seen it. Any normal person should have known the current situation.
Their whereabouts were recorded, and Lu Mingfei's first instinct was correct. The car in the video was indeed a sports car, the Porsche 911 that Mr. Shao lent them. According to the conversation, they were driving on the city roads at the time, looking for the broken elevated road where Ye Sheng disappeared, but accidentally broke into Nibelungen.
Unexpectedly, the college also got hold of the video at that time. The video should also be in Norma's database, but where was the video recorded from? How did it get into the hands of the principal?
"No, I remember that when I borrowed this car, I had already taken down the dashcam." Lu Mingfei turned his head and glanced at Nuonuo, "Will Master Shao install a pinhole camera in the car?"
"Impossible, he promised me that he didn't." Nono shook his head and said firmly, "He wouldn't joke with me about this kind of thing, and we checked before entering the car, and there is no monitoring or listening equipment in the car."
They have confirmed this. Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo have a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance. Not to mention ordinary monitoring and listening equipment, they can even find and remove the GPS locator hidden in the car within an hour. Kassel Academy has had very strict training in this regard... Unless...
Unless the person who installed the surveillance equipment had received the same professional training and installed it secretly after Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo had checked the car inside and out.
Lu Mingfei's gaze subconsciously turned to someone in the meeting room.
"Rewind the video twenty seconds... wait a minute, slow it down sixteen times... OK, pause here!" Angers gave instructions to Finkel, who completed the operation accurately.
In the projection that was magnified several times, the picture froze at the moment when the thick fog just appeared on the elevated road. The sky and the ground were all pitch black. In the distant horizon, one could faintly see a huge lightning snake spewing down from the sky. The heavy rain seemed to be drowning the entire world. The picture looked extremely depressing, like the end of the world.
Angé came to the projection screen. He stared at a certain position in the picture, and an intriguing light flashed in his eyes... Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo also noticed the position of Angé's gaze. They quickly looked at each other and realized that this matter could not be concealed.
Chu Zihang's gaze also fell on that position, and a strange light flickered in his eyes, as if he was recalling something hidden deep in his memory.
"'0'... Is there an elevated road in this city with this number at the end?" Angé asked softly. He was looking at the position of the rearview mirror in the surveillance camera. Under the shadow of a tree that was blown to the side by the strong wind, half of the road sign was exposed. On it, one could vaguely see the last number in a string of numbers, a white painted "0".
Viaduct Zero, the entrance to the Nibelungen.
It is a door, a bridge that does not exist in the real world, connecting this city and the dragon world.
Now, this door has been discovered by the college.
"Fingal, drag the video to the end and freeze the picture at the last 0.1 second." Angers gave instructions again.
"Got it!" Pugs are very obedient.
Finkel is indeed a computer expert. When Ange asked for 0.1 second, he really pressed the pause button at the last 0.1 second of the video. The video was frozen. At this time, they had already rushed into the thick fog, and their vision was so blurred that they could not even see the trees on both sides of the overpass.
"Zoom in here." He pointed at a certain spot on the screen.
The devil is usually hidden in the details. Angé's eyes were still on the rearview mirror. The image was magnified several times. A very blurry black shadow could be seen in the rearview mirror. It was impossible to notice it if you didn't look carefully, but Angé cleverly discovered this thing.
It was a humanoid black shadow, following closely behind the car. Because it was pitch black all around, one could vaguely see two extremely tiny beads of light on the head of the shadow...or to be more precise, the eyes. However, the picture was too blurry and the car was driving too fast, causing some frame loss in the video. The two beads of light dragged out thin filaments that were almost invisible to the naked eye in the frozen picture, and their positions were slightly offset.
"Fingal, what was the speed of the car at that time?" Angers suddenly asked.
"Definitely more than two hundred yards." Finkel said with certainty.
"Is there any land creature in this world that can move as fast as a car traveling at 200 miles per hour?" Angé asked in a low voice.
"You can do it, Principal." Finkel flattered with a smile, "Your spiritual power is 'Time Zero'. After slowing down time fifty times, you can even outrun a car at a jog."
"The old guys in the secret party all say that I'm an old monster." Ange shook his head and said, "There are not many people like me in this world, otherwise there would be chaos a long time ago."
"Chu Zihang, is this the same black shadow you saw on the elevated road seven years ago?" Angé looked at Chu Zihang.
"Maybe." Chu Zihang paused, shook his head and said, "I don't know, the picture is too blurry to see clearly, I was not in that car at the time."
"I've asked Norma to use her system to search. This city has not had a 'zero' elevated road since the reform and opening up. There is no doubt that this does not exist in the real world." Angers pointed at the screen and said, "Nibelungen and Deadpool. With my years of experience in slaying dragons, there is no dispute about these two things. This video was recorded about a week ago, which means that you have experienced something similar to what Chu Zihang had seven years ago."
"The principal knows everything, doesn't he?" Lu Mingfei looked at Ange and asked, "So the nature of today's meeting is to interrogate, to criticize, or to punish?"
"Don't think of me as some vicious old man." Ange shook his head and said to Finkel, "Put down a videotape."
"Yes!" The pug's tail wagged.
"Brother." Lu Mingfei suddenly called out. He looked at Finkel and said expressionlessly, "Until now, I have always believed in you."
"I have never failed your trust, Junior Brother." Finkel's tone was very sincere. "You said you needed a senior sister, so I traveled thousands of miles to the Mediterranean to bring her back for you. You needed help, and I jumped out of the car in Nibelungen to attract Deadpool for you. In the end, you were so badly injured because I carried you there step by step. Junior Brother, why don't you appreciate your kindness at all!"
"So you told Norma all our whereabouts?" Nono sneered.
"Junior sister, what are you talking about? I am definitely on the same side as you." Finkel patted his chest and said, "Yuci will hurt you to death." He inserted another videotape into the projector.
Finkel's big face popped out of the picture.
"I'm so busy every day, being a kidnapper and a hero at the same time. It turns out that the world can't function without me. Don't assign me such troublesome tasks next time... Sacred Heart Hospital, right? I'll be a hero this time, don't let me do such hard work later!"
After Finkel said this to the camera, he turned the camera to the other side. He was driving a car on a suburban road. The weather was also stormy, but not as dark and depressing as in the previous video.
Finkel's car was also speeding very fast. After dozens of seconds, the car skidded and braked suddenly. The shadows of several white buildings and several figures flashed in the screen, and then the screen was occupied by Finkel's body and a violent spear rocket launcher.
After a deafening sound, the spear rocket launcher was fired. However, Finkel's body was surprisingly steady. He carried the spear rocket launcher and turned the steering wheel with one hand, and the car stopped with a tailspin.
"Hey, heroes always have to appear at the right time!"
After Finkel's obscene voice was heard in the video, the entire video came to an abrupt end. It was obvious that the person recording the video just turned it off at that moment.
Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo's eyes fell on Finkel at the same time. Or rather, everyone in the conference room except Ange was looking at Finkel.
"Oh, I'm so embarrassed to be looked at like this, it makes me look like a big star." Finkel scratched the back of his head and said shyly, "I admit that I was quite handsome in saving the situation this time."
"The fate of traitors is always hell." Caesar, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said this coldly.
"Oh my god, this curse is so vicious, but I quite agree with what the chairman said." Finkel nodded and said indignantly, "Who doesn't hate traitors? I hate traitors too. All traitors in the world must die a miserable death!"
"Then why don't you die first?" Nono didn't even have a sneering expression on her face. She looked at Finkel with extremely calm eyes.
It’s not that she isn’t angry. People who know Nuonuo know that this means her anger has reached a certain limit.
If Finkel could still defend himself in the previous video because there were several people in the car, or he could insist that the video was built into the car...but after this video was released, he had no room for excuses.
Chapter 1029 Scam
To be precise, this is basically self-destruction.
This guy even deliberately let his face be in the camera when recording the video. Before playing the videotape, he definitely couldn't have been unaware that playing this videotape was equivalent to admitting in front of Lu Mingfei and the others that he was the one who revealed their whereabouts to the academy. Yet he still said it openly without any evasion.
This guy even seemed to have no guilt at all, as if he felt that there was nothing wrong with what he did.
"Junior sister, this is where you're wrong. How can you call me a traitor... I'm a running dog!" Finkel acted proud of himself, and his tone was too matter-of-fact. "I've always been the principal's running dog, since before you entered school. I've been a running dog for so many years. At that time, you were still flirting with your high school classmates. In all these years, I've never betrayed the principal. It's too unfair for me to be called a traitor!"
"Senior brother, you..." Seeing Finkel's expression, even Ye Sheng, who usually had a good temper, couldn't help but show an angry expression on his face.
"I can't help it, Junior Brother. There is a saying in your country that one should do his job within his position. There is also a saying in our country that a man should not betray his position for anything, even if he is standing in hell." Finkel shrugged his shoulders. "You are all principled people. I believe you can understand me."
"Bitch!" Nono gave Finkel a cold look. If she wasn't confronting the principal, she would have pounced on the bitch and tore her to pieces.
