Dragon Slaying, From Enrollment in Kassel to Mastery

Chapter 23 Sumeru

On the huge "research ship", Qian Li, Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, and Yuan Zhisheng sat cross-legged together, watching Caesar seriously handle the hairy crabs he just bought on the fishing boat.

The task is about to begin, it's hard to imagine that they still have this leisurely time to have supper again.

However, according to what Caesar said, the ramen meal before their departure was really a bit disappointing for their identities and what they were about to do, and it would be better to add another king crab.

Lu Mingfei strongly agreed with this statement, but Qian Li always felt that he really just wanted to taste the king crab.

To be honest, the start of this mission was not smooth. The weather forecast showed that there would be a typhoon of magnitude 8 and huge waves of 2 meters high today. These conditions were really not suitable for going to sea, not to mention that they only had 12 hours.

None of the people on board cared about this.

Caesar wiped his sweat: "Ladies and gentlemen, come and try Hokkaido-style king crab. Japan is number one in cooking seafood."

"I thought you, boss, would say that Italy is number one." Lu Mingfei complained.

In his heart, Caesar is the kind of person who wants to be the first no matter what, and it is hard to imagine that he would be willing to be second in a certain aspect.

"In terms of cooking talent, Italian men are indeed number one, but as early as the Meiji Restoration period, the Japanese began to study seafood cooking..." Caesar explained.

Qian Li listened intently for a while, then tilted his head to look at the red-boiled king crab, and his thoughts gradually drifted back to the time when he went to the ramen stand.

She is not as enthusiastic about her appetite as she appears on the surface. When gourmet food and big meals become daily dishes, only occasionally seeing fresh dishes will make her eyes shine.

I specifically interrupted Chu Zihang's words before...

Qian Li looked at Chu Zihang: "I'm sorry."

Chu Zihang paused slightly.

"It's nothing, I just want to apologize to Senior Brother Chu because of something." Qian Li added without beginning or end.

"Okay." Chu Zihang covered up the fluctuations in his eyes.

He is not a person who likes to ask questions, especially when it comes to getting along with people.

The "scientific research ship" moved forward quickly, cutting through the huge waves, like a huge whale cruising on the undulating sea.

Caesar poured five glasses of wine and handed them to them respectively, saying strange toasts in his mouth.

Not long after, a black shadow appeared in front of their eyes.

The crow who came over bowed his waist: "Young master, Sumeru has arrived."

"Send a light signal to let Xu Mizuo open the dock." Yuan Zhisheng gave an order.

"Floating platform?" Caesar looked over.

Yuan Zhisheng nodded, calmly explaining the origin and internal structure of Xu Mizuo.

On Xumizuo, hundreds of people were divided into four groups to ensure the progress of this operation.

"Is this necessary? It's just a dive, but it looks like a war." Caesar was smoking a cigar, disapproving of this appearance of facing an enemy.

Yuan Zhisheng: "Since you hold the hilt of the sword, you can only let go when you die. This is the way most Japanese survive."

Lu Mingfei leaned over, took a small step back after listening, and expressed his opinion: "Huh, it sounds like a warrior. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. If you don't succeed, you will commit seppuku."

Yuan Zhisheng really couldn't understand that Lu Mingfei still had the heart to talk nonsense at this time, so he picked up his mobile phone and Professor Schneider said, "This is Yuan Zhisheng from the Japanese branch. The dive team is already in place. We Waiting for orders from the headquarters."

On the other side of the ocean, von Schneider said with a blank expression, "Wait until I finish smoking this cigarette."

The noisy voices of the staff are next to my ears, which is completely different from the quietness here, but it is only a few meters away.After listening to it for a long time, there is an indescribable sense of separation, as if there is a thick barrier in between.

The noise and exclamation of the people around them drew a clear line with themselves at that moment, and the enthusiasm of the world outside the line was covered with fog, and the people inside the line could only watch in a daze.

Even if you stretch out your hand exaggeratedly, no one will respond to it, and no one will see it.

Lu Mingfei watched the people coming and going, watched Caesar commanding in both Chinese and English with occasional non-standard Japanese in the crowd with his upper body bare, looked at Chu Zihang who was quietly wiping his knife, watched... ... Qianli.

He felt that his soul was divided into two parts, one was posting photos of him eating "Sheng Ru Xia Hua" on Moments, and the other was him sitting aside with a blank expression.

Qian Li also looked at him, the corners of her mouth curled up.

Suddenly, she made a gesture of hugging.

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened.

Because he saw Qian Li open his arms, embracing the expressionless shadow of himself.

He shook his head.

Qian Li has returned to the original position, as if it was his illusion just now, even though he still seems to feel the warmth of her embrace.

"Sister..."

"Huh? What's the matter, Senior Brother Lu?"

"Junior Sister, have you been exposed to related tasks before?"

"No." Qian Li shook her head and told the truth: "This is my first mission."

Lu Mingfei swallowed his saliva.

He said in his heart that the person who made this decision is really a bastard, and that there are more beautiful things waiting for her to explore after her junior sister is so beautiful and beautiful, so he must arrange people in this team that may die at any time, Simply not human.

"Brother, are you nervous?" Qian Li raised the corner of his mouth in relief, "I will protect you well."

Before Lu Mingfei could strike up a conversation, he heard the sound of electric current coming from the earphone.

This was the signal to start the mission, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang sat up straight, Qian Li blinked, followed their movements and raised his head and chest.

But there was no sound in her earphones.

Professor Schneider was making the final arrangements, and soon, Lu Mingfei noticed her strangeness: "Junior sister is not in this communication?"

"Her task is directly issued by the principal." Schneider coughed twice.

The three frowned in unison, and finally Caesar spoke first: "We are a small group."

Schneider was silent for a moment: "I know, she also knows what I said, the principal will tell her. You just need to remember one thing, once you encounter the "door" immediately return unconditionally!"

After urging some more things, Schneider temporarily cut off the call.

At this time, Qian Li's earphones had intermittent voices: "I don't know who you are, your files are even encrypted for me, since Ange made an exception to let you come here, there must be his reasons. I won't Go ask, but one thing must be emphasized, no matter who you are, come back safely."

For the first time, the man who was known to be severe and crazy in the eyes of the students of Kassel College showed his only gentleness to someone he had never met.

"That action had a great impact on you, Professor Schneider." Qian Li sighed, but changed the topic: "But my mistake will never happen a second time."

After speaking, he took the initiative to cut off the conversation.
