Chapter 526 Mobilization
Chapter 526 Mobilization
In terms of combat power alone, although the Invisible Monkey has a ferocious temperament and quick actions, if it encounters a combat-type transcendent with certain experience in a one-on-one situation, it will basically not be able to please. They can be burned to scream, but firstly, they act in groups, and secondly, their invisibility ability is too difficult. If you don’t talk about martial arts sneak attacks, let alone Ouyang Caiyue, even a top extraordinary person like the head of the academy can It may not be possible to retreat completely.
So far it has been relatively calm, probably because most of the superhumans live in the city, and it is impossible to say that there are no superhumans who live in seclusion in the countryside alone, but the number is definitely rare. It’s the same as my life, if you don’t have the ability, forget it, if you have the ability, you won’t be too low-key, no matter what the goal is, you will always think about using your ability.
The vast majority of supernatural animals live in rural mountains and forests, so the cryptomonkeys are temporarily satisfied with hunting these supernatural animals in the wild, and have no idea of hunting cities—and they may also have a sense of fear of cities. They are not afraid of people, but cities The harsh noises, turbid car exhaust, and reinforced concrete buildings are terrible for wild animals.
Even so, it can't be left alone. The reproduction speed of animals without natural enemies is too terrifying. Sooner or later, the superhuman animals in the nearby wild will be eaten up by them. At that time, they will tentatively enter the city, just like those who rummage through trash cans on the edge of the city your coyote or skunk, and once they get used to the noise, exhaust fumes, and weird city architecture, the worst thing happens.
Of course, the premise of all of this is that the recent calm is really caused by the hidden monkey.
Discussion is discussion, they don't have any evidence, they are all guessing out of thin air.
Jiang Chanji recalled that on the day in the depression, Squidbeard warned the appearance of the recluse monkeys and pointed out the direction where they were hidden in the mist, but it couldn't tell him how many there were, or it didn't think it was necessary to specifically explain, as it thought it was perfect. Biologically, it despises this kind of animal.
"But...assuming that it was the cryptomonkeys that caused the extinction of the supernatural animals nearby, how did they find these supernatural animals?" Xiaosui asked.
"It may be that they have evolved special senses. If they feed on superhuman animals, such senses are necessary." Aurora said, "We must not look at the other world from the perspective of judging the creatures on Earth. Creatures, human beings have five senses, and they may have six or seven senses. This is not surprising. If the "channel" exists for millions of years, maybe the earth creatures including humans will also evolve corresponding senses... The living environment of another world must be much more terrifying than that of the earth, there are awakened monsters wandering everywhere, and those who can survive from this harsh environment to this day are not easy to deal with."
"Then... do you think it's necessary for us to tell the teachers? Or maybe the teachers have noticed something abnormal?" Out of respect for the senior, Jiang Chanji asked.
"I think it is necessary, because the teachers are busy with their affairs, some are scientific research and teaching, and some are administrative and scientific research. The administrative teachers who are responsible for arranging social practice tasks may not divide events by area. They may just feel that the overall number of tasks has decreased recently. Reduction, but it is a holiday after all, and reduction is also a good thing, so I don't care about it." Aurora said, "But if our guess comes true, the problem will be big."
Everyone thought it was necessary, not even Layla, because she knew that if the Invisible Monkeys multiplied quietly, the whole world would be over.
"We don't know the administrative teacher, so let's ask Aurora to talk about it," Xiaosui said.
"No, let's report directly to the dean of the school. Although there are suspicions of skipping the report, this matter cannot be delayed. Every day of delay, a new cryptomonkey may be born in this world, and parthenogenesis reproduces. The speed is too fast." Aurora looked serious, "I don't know if the dean is still accompanying the dean for dinner..."
Catherine said: "We are going back to find the head pastor now, why don't you go with us?"
"Don't worry, there are too many people going, it's not good to gossip, Aurora, you and Chan Ji, you can go together, just as the student representatives of the two grades, let's wait for the news." Xiaosui arranged, I found a suitable excuse and left the two hermits behind without a trace. After all, it is related to the internal transfer arrangement of Hongye College, and it is not suitable for outsiders to know. No. 33 is temporarily irrelevant. Whether No. 15 and Leila are friends or foes does not matter. It's easy to say.
Jiang Chanji wanted to decline at first, but later he came back to admire Xiaosui's delicate thoughts.
So, the others stayed in the dining room to drink tea and coffee for a while, and Sister Catherine, Aurora, and Jiang Chanji went to the banquet hall of the auditorium.
The Angel of Light didn't leave too far even when they were eating, and now seeing that they were going in the direction of the auditorium, they flew directly over.
Arriving outside the banquet hall, there were waiters standing by at the door. They learned that the dean of the college and the dean of the dean were still there after eating and dessert, and there were several teachers accompanying them.
Jiang Chanji wondered if he should go to Fu Su to deliver a letter to the dean of the school. Fu Su had been with the dean of the school for a few days and must have established a connection.
At this time, a teacher's phone vibrated, and she left the banquet hall to answer the phone outside. Aurora said a few words to the teacher, meaning that we have something important to report to the dean.
The teacher was a little embarrassed, wondering if she should disturb the dean at this time, but it may be that the dean saw Aurora and Jiang Chanji outside through the crack of the door when she opened the door, and called them in from the room.
It was the first time for Jiang Chanji to come to the banquet hall of the school. This kind of place is usually only open when important people visit. After a little inspection, the interior decoration style can only be described as tall, and the refreshments on the table are especially for him, a country bumpkin. Unimaginable delicacy... just the amount is too small, is this feeding the birds?
He couldn't see any tricks, and Aurora glanced casually, and found that the set of silver-encrusted teapots and teacups in front of the dean and dean were antiques from the Victorian era, and they were taken outside to exchange for a large area in a big city. mansion.
"Have you finished your meal?" the dean asked Sister Catherine.
"Yes, Master Dean." Both of them wanted to tell the dean of the good things that happened today, but now is not the time, Jiang Chanji and the others have more important things to do.
The dean glanced at Jiang Chanji and landed on Aurora's face. He couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the famous 'Northern Lights'?"
"You're too much." Aurora blushed slightly. Although she had heard praise from countless people, the dean was different after all.
"I've heard the name 'Northern Lights' in the backcountry. I saw it today, and it really didn't disappoint me." The dean got up, and she saw that Aurora and Jiang Chan had something to do, so she said to the dean: "Today Let’s bother here first, and come to ask the head of the school another day.”
"You're being polite. I've benefited a lot here." The dean also got up at the same time, as if to send the dean away.
Jiang Chanji looked at his words and deeds, and it seemed that the head of the dean regarded himself as a junior in his words and deeds. The two sides were on the same level, so it must be because the head of the dean was older than the college.
The dean asked her to stay, she said a few words of courtesy, and sent a few teachers next to her to see the guests off.
After the dean left and the door of the banquet hall was closed, the dean sat down again and rubbed his cheeks, probably because his cheek muscles were a little stiff because of always smiling.
"Principal, I'm sorry, we didn't mean to disturb, it's because there are more important matters..." Aurora said apologetically.
"It's okay, I know, what's the matter?" The dean of the school has always been non-sloppy when dealing with business.
Aurora recounted what they had just discussed.
The dean frowned more and more as he listened.
Ever since she encountered a creature like a hermit monkey in the Kunlun Mountains last time, she has been having similar worries, and she is afraid of something.
In fact, she and other teachers have already assessed that it is almost inevitable for the cryptomonkey to sneak into this world-the world is so big, the "passage" may appear anywhere near the surface, and it is impossible for the "passage" to appear at the first time. If you arrive at the scene in time, you may not be able to find the whereabouts of the reclusive monkeys if you arrive at the scene. It is only a matter of time before they take advantage of their loopholes.
Therefore, she has already placed a large number of orders, asking the factory to manufacture monocular infrared mirrors, and distribute them to superhuman teachers in the school and foreign teachers first, and then to ordinary teachers who know the knowledge, but this is only a small part of the order. The produced ones will be distributed to the black-clothed troops, and at the request of Luisa, they will be donated to the witchcraft tribe for free. As for other large and medium-sized organizations, as long as the other party is willing to accept them, they will all be donated free of charge, so as to prevent the invisibility as much as possible. Monkey invasion.
"This is just a guess when we chatted just now. There is no evidence. If we are overthinking, please forgive me..." Aurora said.
"No, it was right for you to come to me at the first time." The dean gestured for them to wait, and then picked up his mobile phone to make a call, as if he was communicating with the administrative teacher in charge of arranging social practice tasks for confirmation.
The administrative teacher in charge of this matter is an ordinary person. Her job is to coordinate and arrange social practice tasks. The goals and difficulties of the tasks are decided after discussing with the extraordinary teacher. She has been doing this work for more than ten years and has not She has not made any mistakes, but as an ordinary person, she has her own family and children to take care of, and her vigilance at work has decreased. It is a bit routine, and she has not noticed any doubts at all. This is actually human.
She was still a little puzzled when she received the call from the dean. She counted the frequency of incidents in the nearby area according to the dean's request. Only then did she realize that something was wrong, and she panicked and apologized.
The dean didn't criticize her too much, because she didn't know the existence of the Cryptomonkey, and even if she knew, it would be difficult to connect the two things together. Only students who regard credits as their lives will pay attention to this.
After hanging up the phone, the dean silently held his head.
Jiang Chanji and Aurora didn't dare to show their air.
After a long time, the dean of the college sighed, "It's really troublesome... Tomorrow is also the enrollment season, and the teachers have to be busy with the admissions exams, so they can't let the candidates and parents' pigeons go. The emergency recall of the foreign teachers is too late, and the second is not too late. All right, what if another 'channel' appears elsewhere?"
The dean wasn't asking them, but trying to sort things out from the mess.
She opened the electronic map with her mobile phone, "This area is too big. Even if we exclude human gathering areas such as cities and towns, it is still too big. Where can we find invisible monsters in the wilderness?"
"Dean..." Jiang Chanji whispered, "If the teachers are too busy, why don't we students find it?"
"You..." The head of the school, who had personally dealt with the hermit monkey, knew that the monster was extremely ferocious.
"With monocular infrared mirrors, they can't sneak attack us. As long as we can find them, it shouldn't take much trouble." Jiang Chanji said, "Not only us, but other extraordinary students in the school can also be mobilized. The more people are, the more powerful they are. The more you can find them, the sooner you can find them—if you're concerned about confidentiality, just tell the unsuspecting students that it's an awakened monkey and explain their danger."
Seeing that the dean was still hesitating, he said again: "If you are afraid of accidents with the students, you can make a group of several people, so that you can take care of each other, and you won't be too dangerous if you encounter groups of hermit monkeys. If you can beat it, call the teacher for help, anyway, search is the main thing.”
"In addition, I have another idea." He glanced at the expensive-looking tea set, "If you are not short of money, the school can publicly issue a high reward, and you can only say that you are a dangerous awakened monkey. Maybe there will be a lot of supernatural beings coming here for money, and when the time comes, they will be given infrared mirrors, and they will be rewarded according to the head of the monkey... With so many people spreading their nets all over the world, they may not be able to find those monkeys."
The dean laughed dumbfounded. Although this idea was quite unreasonable, it seemed to work in theory. She didn't expect to use money to solve the problem of insufficient manpower...or she didn't think about it at all.
This is what Jiang Chanji thinks, although the dean is perfect in all aspects, whether it is ability, character, intelligence or overall situation, she is close to a perfect leader, and it is not his turn to comment, but her only shortcoming is that I have been living at the height of the temple for a long time, forgetting the distance of the world, and ignoring that there are still a large number of idle superhumans who have not joined various organizations in society. Those people are a great force, but they all fight on their own, without twisting. If it can be used effectively, even if it is not of much use, at least it can temporarily make up for the shortage of manpower.
Is a problem that can be solved by spending money still a problem?
As for the safety of those people, there is no need to worry. Those who dare to apply must be old fritters.
Jiang Chanji finally asked humbly: "We students who participated in the action must be embarrassed to ask for money from the school, but can we...reward some credits?"
