Dragon Clan: Start by obtaining the Sett panel

Chapter 209 Colonel Fried Chicken

In the central control room on the second floor of the library, Manstein stood in front of a giant 3D projection. A 5-meter-high virtual earth was suspended in front of him. With a slight wave of his hand, the earth would quickly turn to the position he wanted to see.

It felt like God was fiddling with his creation, giving people the pleasure of being able to command and the joy of holding power. If politicians knew that there was such an advanced projection system in the world, they would definitely rush to buy it to satisfy their desire to control the country, but Manstein did not enjoy it at all. He wanted to die.

Seven or eight red lights flashed on the surface of the faint blue "Earth" at the same time, and sirens sounded one after another. The entire central control room was filled with the clicking sounds of keyboards being typed at high speed, the hissing sounds of printers working, and the clicking sounds of mechanical cipher machines translating secret messages, which made his head almost explode.

This atmosphere always existed in the control room, day or night. Tonight, it was Manstein's turn to be the unlucky professor on duty. As many as seventy experts and interns worked here, each of them facing several terminals at the same time.

The college secretary, or the super mainframe named "Norma", captures all the information related to the college from all over the world, and ultimately it has to be analyzed and decided by manpower one by one. The central control room is the think tank of this college.

This means that no matter where something happens, Manstein needs to make a reasonable judgment as soon as possible. If it were just some simple mission reports, maybe he wouldn't have such a headache, but on the contrary, Kassel's students have a deep understanding of the word "making trouble".

"The executive officer of the Greek branch is negotiating with the mafia and requesting financial support."

"The Equipment Department was testing a new type of alchemical weapon in the Sahara Desert, which was mistaken for a nuclear test. Now the United Nations is ready to intervene."

"The executive officer of our headquarters was surrounded by locals in Congo. When he was trying to capture a dangerous hybrid, they thought he was smuggling Brother Ni..."

"Oh my God... You might as well kill me!" Manstein kept running around and directing people through this series of questions, and finally collapsed powerlessly on the sofa beside him.

"Can't the shift system be changed? I think Schneider really likes doing this, so why not let him take charge of everything?"

Von Schneider, the head of the executive department and also the mentor of Gu Ye and Chu Zihang, in Manstein's opinion, no one is more suitable than him to deal with these troublesome things. Don't you see that Gu Ye and Chu Zihang, two human-like Tyrannosaurus Rex, caused so much damage every time they carried out a mission, did he handle it well?

"This is the rule set by Principal Angers. If you have any objections, you can go to him." Before Manstein could continue speaking, Schneider's slightly cold voice appeared behind him.

"Schneider?! When did you come?" Manstein was startled by the sudden voice and quickly turned to look at Schneider.

"Not only him...but also me." Guderian walked out from behind Schneider with a rare seriousness on his face.

"What happened that required you two to come together?" Manstein also became serious.

"The executive department has lost something." Schneider handed over a document. Manstein glanced at the dark red seal on the cover, and his muddled mind seemed to be poured into a basin of cold water and instantly became clear. The seal pattern was a giant snake with its head held high and its tail forming a circle, with scales visible, and two bold black letters "SS" in the middle.

"It's actually a top-level number..." Manstein whispered. So far, the entire academy has never issued such a task, but since it is marked with SS level, there is only one possibility, that is, this task was issued directly by the board of directors.

"Is it that the thing the board of directors wanted was lost?" Manstein looked at Schneider until the other party nodded slowly, then he sighed and turned around.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please leave for now. We need to talk alone."

Everyone else in the central control room stood up and filed out, leaving only the three of them in the huge central control room. The door was tightly closed, and no one dared to eavesdrop on the secret mission of the board of directors. The college had a free atmosphere, but the school rules were still very strict.

"So what was lost?" asked Manstein.

"You'd better not ask..." Schneider shook his head.

"Originally you should have been completely unaware of this matter. This matter went directly through the execution department's procedures. Because of an accident, we had to tell you."

"For such a high-level mission, the executive department should have done its best. How could something go wrong?" Manstein asked.

"We did try our best and developed a very detailed strategy. We successfully obtained the information and sent our most capable people to escort it back to headquarters, but the information was lost on the way." Schneider quickly tapped on the keyboard at the console and immediately called up a series of data files.

Opening one of the video files, a tortoise-shell-shaped glass dome building appeared in the video, which looked like the waiting hall of a train station. A Chinese man in a leather jacket was sitting on a bench and waiting quietly.

"Is this...Liu Yao?" Manstein recognized him, Specialist No. B005 Liu Yao, an excellent executive specialist in the executive department.

He graduated from the Alchemy Department of Kassel College in 2006 with a "B" grade. His Word Spirit is "Blazing Sun" with serial number 28. Although the power of the Word Spirit is not great, it has performed many excellent tasks.

"Hasn't he already applied to be based in Latin America after graduation?"

"Having said that, considering that the intelligence was obtained in China, we still transferred him back," Schneider said.

"Don't ask irrelevant questions, just keep reading."

The video continued to play. There was no one in the waiting hall at night. Only Liu Yao was there. But that was only at this moment. When played at three times the speed, other people soon appeared in the video.

It was a guy wearing a black combat uniform... Colonel Sanders? ? ? Manstein showed a look of astonishment on his face. That's right... the guy in front of him was extremely muscular, and his combat uniform was bulging out. He didn't look like someone who was easy to mess with, but the KFC takeaway paper bag on his head made him look ridiculous.

He seemed to have a few words with Liu Yao, and it was obvious that the conversation between the two did not go smoothly. Then it was a one-sided fight. The Word Spirit Blazing Sun combined with Liu Yao's own good skills, it should be impossible for ordinary people to get close to him, but this Colonel Sanders was not simple.

He seemed to be familiar with Cassel's commissioner. He had put on sunglasses when the battle started. And judging from his suddenly swollen body, he should be a physical strengthening spirit. Colonel Kentucky knocked Liu Yao unconscious in no time and was about to pick up the file bag on the ground, but at this time... the station suddenly moved!

As the ground shook, all the aluminum alloy beams twisted for no reason, as if they were twisted by a pair of huge hands. Thousands and tens of thousands of pieces of glass broke away and fell straight down, and the surveillance came to an abrupt end.

"This station is in Lu Mingfei and Gu Ye's hometown... It was just put into trial use this summer... The glass dome is made up of 3,200 pieces of high-strength glass, and the aluminum alloy frame structure can withstand an 8-magnitude earthquake. It is the most advanced construction technology. But last night, it was destroyed in a 3-magnitude earthquake..." Schneider paused for a moment and continued.

"Three thousand two hundred pieces of glass fell vertically, just like three thousand two hundred knife cuts at the same time. Fortunately, Liu Yao was not injured, but only lost the documents."

"It's strange... If it was an earthquake, it wouldn't be such a coincidence? Would it just cause damage to the buildings?" Manstein showed a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Moreover, a magnitude 3 earthquake couldn't even collapse a dangerous building, so how could it cause such damage to this building?"

"Yes, that's exactly what we are wondering. But if my guess is correct, besides this Colonel Sanders, there is another guy who has his eyes on this document," said Schneider.

"You mean, someone used the spirit of words to cause this earthquake? What kind of spirit of words can destroy an aluminum alloy hall that can accommodate thousands of people waiting for the train? The intensity of this earthquake is almost comparable to that of the Rhine!" Manstein frowned.

"That's the problem..." Schneider sighed and looked at Manstein.

"If it is true as we speculated, then the third person who suddenly intervened this time is most likely the Dragon King! And... maybe he is the most powerful... King of the Earth and Mountains."

"Damn it! Do all the Dragon Kings wake up at the same time?" Manstein couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"I don't know about that. Next, we need to send someone to investigate this matter... The school board has already ordered that this matter must be investigated thoroughly within at least two days! The documents cannot be lost..."

"What if the document that Colonel Kentucky got was snatched away by that mysterious person? How can we find it? Is it like looking for a needle in a haystack?"

"Don't worry, I have destroyed the video in the waiting room. At present, all external transportation in that city is suspended due to concerns about aftershocks. This is enough time for us to set up surveillance personnel at all possible exits... Norma has scanned the body sample of the Colonel Sanders. Guys like him are still rare in China." Schneider said.

Even without showing his face, Colonel Sanders has a standard European and American body shape. Although there are foreigners in the coastal city, only a handful of them have entered during this period. So this time, it can be said that the turtle has been caught in the jar, and it only needs to investigate the clues in the city.

"In that case, who should we send?" Manstein was a little troubled. It was summer vacation now and the fighting power remaining in school was limited.

"Why not let Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei go together? They happen to be there too," Schneider suggested.

"Wait! In addition to Colonel Kentucky, there is also a being that looks like the Dragon King. You don't want them to face it alone, do you?" Manstein immediately retorted.

"I don't like what you said. Lu Mingfei is also S-level, so how come he has no ability to deal with the Dragon King?" Professor Guderian, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up. Lu Mingfei gave him a big surprise in the last mission, and he is now full of confidence in his student.

"Although he is S-level, he has only one experience of slaying a dragon, and he entered the field as Gu Ye's deputy. You should not want your student to die, right?" Manstein said coldly.

"Then this..." Guderian scratched his head, thinking anxiously.

"Got it! With Gu Ye, there won't be any problem?!"

"Gu Ye is... busy with other missions now, and hasn't been to school for at least a month." Schneider suddenly spoke.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that... Let's report it first. We will be ready to support Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang at any time. We can only trust them."

"Chu Zihang is the commissioner! Lu Mingfei is the assistant!" Schneider and Manstein turned around and said at the same time. They reached a consensus in a short time. Time was running out, and no one could afford to offend the board of directors.

"Norma, inform the school board of the list of executive teams," Schneider inserted his ten fingers into the projection, moved quickly, and began to mobilize information.

“An action plan is being formulated and we will report back to them.”

"Understood." An elegant female voice came from the loudspeakers in all directions.

"The school board has replied. The team has been adjusted and S-level Lu Mingfei has been appointed as the specialist for this mission. S-level Gu Ye and A-level Chu Zihang will assist him. Everything will be under Lu Mingfei's command." A few minutes later, Norma's voice came again.

"What does that mean? Gu Ye is included? And Lu Mingfei is let to take the lead?" The three professors showed a puzzled look at the same time.

Obviously there are more perfect choices, why did the school board decide to let a young man who has only performed one mission as a commissioner? This is just as outrageous as letting an intern lead the company's top management.

"The important question is not this..." Schneider sighed and spoke again.

"But how should we contact Gu Ye?"
