my stealth fighter

Chapter 497 Avalanche
Even a irascible old lady like Leila couldn't help holding her breath after entering the meditation hall, and she didn't dare to make any mistakes, because I don't know if it's a psychological effect, this hall seems to have a strong sense of coercion .

The hall is extremely empty, except for the throne in the middle, it can be said to be empty. The interior is shaped like an upside-down bowl without a single column, and it is completely supported and fixed by delicate architectural structures.

The monastery has electricity, but there are no lights in the hall. All the light comes from the skylight above the throne, forming a visual effect of bright light in the middle and dark surrounding. In addition, three circles of raised ground make the people on the throne feel like The lord of the gods on the top of the mountain overlooks all living beings.

Catherine stood in the middle circle with her arms down respectfully, while Jiang Chanji and the others stood in the lowest outer circle after they came in and did not dare to move around casually.

The dean's eyes swept over them, especially the human bone scepter in Luisa's hand.

"You young talents have come from afar, which is enough to make our courtyard flourish." The head pastor said, "Catherine, let me introduce you."

The dean's voice echoed in the empty hall, as if coming from all directions.

"Yes." Catherine pointed out that Mingjiang Chanji and No. 33 were the emissaries. About Luisa, she only said that she was from the witchcraft tribe. She said that Leila was Luisa's friend and accompanied Luisa, and No. 15 was the same. The same way.

A look of surprise flashed in the head dean's eyes, "Your name is Jiang Chanji? I thought it would be Aurora."

"Senior Aurora has been busy developing new ways to use abilities recently. Thanks to the favor of the dean, he sent me to say hello to the head pastor." Jiang Chanji said in rustic English. Fortunately, he was prepared in advance and spoke fluently. .

But it seems that Aurora-senpai is really famous, even the dean has heard of her name.

"I heard that Aurora is a leader among the younger generation of Hongye Academy, so that's fine. She is willing to give up her reputation and work hard. The future is promising." The dean re-examined Jiang Chanji, because she can replace Aurora The one who came here and she had never heard of the name must be a newly emerging star, "Which teacher have you been with for a long time?"

"Teacher Li Muqin." He replied.

"Oh... Li Muqin, yes, the temperament is also somewhat similar." The head pastor nodded in understanding.

Leila was a little unconvinced, and thought that the dean had a big tone, and Li Muqin only got a "good" evaluation from her?

"This is a handwritten letter that the dean asked me to bring to you. Please read it." Jiang Chanji took out the envelope that he kept carefully along the way.

Catherine walked to the outer circle, took the envelope, walked into the inner circle again, handed both hands to the dean, and then returned to the middle circle.

The dean opened the letter and quickly browsed through it in the skylight.

Jiang Chanji waited anxiously.

Catherine was standing with her back to the dean and facing Jiang Chanji and the others, but her eyes did not look at anyone, but drooped slightly, like a maid waiting for orders.

When she came in to report by herself just now, Jiang Chanji and the others were still outside the door, which was closed. She paid special attention to check because she remembered what her sister once said, when the dean summoned her alone, her sister had some kind of It felt like there seemed to be a third person in the hall besides the dean.

There is no place to hide in the meditation hall, except behind the head priest's throne.

The throne is also made of stone. It is nearly as tall as a person, and slightly longer than the width of a single sofa. The back is big enough to hide a person. If you are not fat, you can squeeze two or three people into it.

When she handed Jiang Chanji's letter to the dean, she naturally walked to the side of the throne, bent down and lowered her head when handing it over, and quickly glanced behind the throne.

Although she could only see half of the area behind the throne from this angle, she basically dispelled her doubts, and she was [-]% sure that there was no Tibetan behind the throne.

To talk about the reason, if there was someone hiding behind the throne, she would not have thought that she would suddenly glance at her. No nun or sister had dared to do this before... At worst, she would instinctively dodge, but if she dodged, it would definitely bring Dust flutters.

That's right, the skylight shines down from above the throne, and the surroundings are dim, so every speck of dust in the light can be seen clearly. As long as someone moves, no matter what level of expert it is, it will drive the convection of the air, and then Change the direction in which the dust flies.

However, it does not.

So it should be my sister's nervousness. No wonder, the extremely solemn atmosphere in the meditation hall already has a strong sense of oppression.

wow.

The dean folded the letter paper and stuffed it back into the envelope, and Catherine hurriedly withdrew her thoughts.

"Thank you for the letter from the dean. Seeing the words is like seeing a person. The dean's concern for the world can be seen in the letter."

Jiang Chanji waited for the next words, but the dean did not intend to continue, but looked at No. 33 and said, "Ninja Academy is well versed in the way of keeping a low profile. They also sent envoys, so why?"

On the 33rd, it was sensitively heard that when the dean talked about the Ninja Academy, his tone was obviously different from when he talked about the Red Leaf Academy, but there was no way, the outside world had always had a bad impression of the Ninja Academy.

She took out the letter, "This is a letter from the suzerain, please read it."

Catherine also took it and handed it to the dean.

After the dean read it, he stuffed the letter back into the envelope and fell silent.

What the suzerain wrote in the letter was similar to that of the head of the academy, which was nothing, but the things behind it were worth thinking about. She had to consider the possibility of Ninja Academy and Hongye Academy coming together or even forming an alliance.

"Did the chief write a letter too?" She looked at Louisa again.

"No, the chief doesn't know that I'm here, because I agree with their ideas, so I come with them, and I hope that the head priest can help them for the sake of the world," Luisa said.

The dean smiled slightly, "The chief knows more than you think."

She looked at Leila and No. 15 again, and saw that they had no intention of speaking, so she said: "You have come from afar and traveled thousands of miles to deliver letters for me. Nice to entertain you..."

Although she hadn't finished speaking, Jiang Chanji didn't sound right, and felt that she might be seeing off a guest. Once a person like her said the words to see off a guest, it was unlikely to change, so he was To interrupt, I suddenly heard rumbling outside, like the sound of rolling boulders.

Everyone was inexplicably surprised, the dean frowned and remained silent.

"Master dean!" A nun pushed the door open and said in panic, "Avalanche!"

They live on the snow-capped mountains, and they are more aware of the horror of avalanches than anyone else. Once the storm of ice and snow that sweeps over everything is encountered by ordinary people, it is a word of "death".

"Damn it! Arabella's still out there!"

Catherine also ignored the etiquette in front of the dean, and rushed out like crazy.

"Let's help too!"

Jiang Chanji ran out after him, and his voice came from afar: "Ms. Head Priest, please wait a moment!"

No. 33 and Luisa hesitated for a second or two, nodded apologetically to the dean, and followed out.

The remaining No. 15 and Leila didn't know what to say to the dean, so they simply ran out to avoid embarrassment.

Except for the young nuns, almost all the nuns started to move. When Jiang Chanji and the others ran out, there were not many people left outside.

"Catherine!" Jiang Chanji followed Catherine's figure into the lava tunnel.

No. 33 and Luisa only hesitated for a second or two just now. When they chased into the tunnel, they could no longer see Jiang Chanji and Catherine, and there seemed to be many identical forks in the tunnel. It might not be good to walk indiscriminately. , had to withdraw again.

Catherine, who rushed into the tunnel, heard footsteps behind her. She turned her head and saw that Jiang Chanji was following him. She wanted him to go back, but he hurriedly said, "I close my eyes and don't look. You drag me away."

Saving people is like fighting a fire. Once Arabella and the others are buried by an avalanche, they may suffocate to death at any time.

Catherine didn't want to waste time, so she grabbed his wrist without slowing down.

Jiang Chanji closed his eyes, and he could clearly feel that the route he was taking this time was different from just now. There were more straight lines, and sometimes he needed to jump. It took less than one-third of the time before he felt the cold wind hit his face. .

When Catherine let go, he opened his eyes and found himself back outside the mountain.

A nun was wandering anxiously outside the tunnel, and Catherine asked, "Where are Arabella and the others?"

"It hasn't arrived yet, the sisters are all going down to find it!"

Catherine gritted her teeth, and quickly ran down the mountain.

Jiang Chanji followed behind and saw many nuns in white cotton robes looking for them scatteredly.

When they had just walked this road, it was completely changed at this time. The avalanche changed the nearby terrain, and the road when they came had been submerged under snow.

"Ah..."

"Don't shout! It will cause a new avalanche!" Catherine said back.

Jiang Chan suddenly realized that after the avalanche happened once, the snow along the road was loosened, and a second avalanche might happen.

No wonder everyone is looking for it in silence, but the efficiency of this search is too low. The mountain is so big and there is snow everywhere. Where can I find it?

He also pretended to disperse the search, and went around behind a rock wall alone.

"Squidbeard, can you find that girl named Arabella?" he asked.

The alien squid in the lake has little interest in such trivial matters.

"You had a big reaction to the head pastor just now, didn't you? Don't you want to know how powerful the head pastor is?" He said again, feeling like he was bargaining.

That's right, when I saw the dean just now, the squid mustache showed the strongest reaction ever, pointing at the dean with its tentacles, as if extremely afraid, but... the direction of the tentacles seems to be a bit off, pointing It wasn't the dean himself, but he was pointing to the back of the throne.

Squid Whiskers lazily raised its tentacles and pointed in a direction.

Jiang Chanji saw that everyone was concentrating on saving people, and no one was paying attention to him, so he quietly entered the invisible state. He repeatedly studied the records in Zhao Man's mobile phone these days, and with some experience, he set the penetration target as "Snow", and then jumped into the snow.

Unlike when penetrating the door panel, the door panel is opaque, and the inside of the door panel is pitch black, but the snow has a certain degree of light transmission.

"Snow" didn't exist for him. He jumped in the snow, and the soles of his shoes fell on the rocks. He didn't get a single snowflake on his body, and he didn't feel the resistance of the snow.

Although the light was as dim as evening, he saw the mountain road buried by the avalanche again.

He ran a few steps forward, looked up, and saw the nuns in cotton robes walking back and forth at a height of thirty or forty centimeters above his head, anxiously looking for Arabella and the others.

Arabella and the others must have gone up the mountain along the same road. When encountering an avalanche, their first reaction was to seek shelter.

With his waist bent, he quickly shuttled back and forth on both sides of the mountain road, looking for any place where he could hide.

Then he saw them behind a rock face.

The nuns all hugged each other, clinging to the rock wall tightly, half lying on the ground motionless, while the nuns on both sides hugged the rock wall together, as if using the rock wall to resist the impact of the avalanche and avoid being swept down the mountain by the avalanche , No. 22 is among them.

Jiang Chanji hurried to them, judging from the dimness of the surrounding light, they were buried under the snow.

He saw Arabella, she was held in the center by everyone, they used their bodies to create a cavity, there should be some air there, he saw her mouth wriggling, as if she was crying for help .

He jumped up slightly, out of the invisible state, and when his feet fell down again, they were already stepping on the snow, and he heard Arabella's faint cry.

He had already spotted the position just now, inserted his hands into the snow, forcibly dragged the top nun out, and then dragged them out of the snow pit one by one.

"Arabella, it's me, don't be afraid, we're here to save you!" He grabbed her arm and pulled her out last.

"Chanji... sisters... are you still alive?" The tears on her face had frozen.

"They should still be alive," he reassured.

The nuns who were rescued turned blue. They didn't know whether they were cold or suffocating. Anyway, the situation was not good, but he touched the necks of a few of them, and the pulse had not disappeared.

Since he couldn't shout, Jiang Chanji squeezed a handful of snowballs in each of his left and right hands, first threw one into the air, and then threw the second one to smash the first one. A large cloud of white snow foam burst out in the air to send out a signal.

The other nuns quickly gathered here.

They had no time to be amazed at how many people he had saved, they had experience with avalanches, and each was in charge of an unconscious nun, giving artificial respiration to those in distress.

Catherine rushed over and saw that Arabella was safe and sound, so she didn't have time to relax, and ordered: "Their body temperature is too low! Take them back and soak in the hot spring!"

As she spoke, she picked up No. 22 and gave Jiang Chanji a grateful look, meaning to let him and Arabella rest for a while and then catch up. They must rescue the injured first. At this time, she can't just care about her sister, although this It's natural, but it will chill the hearts of other sisters.
