Chapter 303 Uninvited Guest

Early morning, Cassell College, Los Angeles.

The library of Kassel College is an elegant antique building, with a mixture of Byzantine and Renaissance architectural styles. The lobby on the first floor is nearly ten meters high, with mosaic glass windows through which you can see the starry sky, and exquisite marble columns supporting elegant arches.

Go up the terrazzo granite stairs that are so bright that you can see your reflection, and the second floor is where the classrooms are. Some public classes and the 3E entrance exams are arranged here.

Arriving at the second floor of the library, Aki Shude walked out of the elevator holding a pile of documents. It was late at night and the library was quiet, with only the emergency lights on in the corridor, which was like the atmosphere in an American horror movie.

However, Aki Shude didn't care about it. She walked past the glass windows of the classroom with documents in her arms, and her flat-soled student shoes made clear and rhythmic footsteps on the granite floor tiles.

The metal door at the end of the corridor was locked. Shude Aki stopped in front of the door and knocked.

"Dong dong dong."

"The door is not locked." The man's unclear voice sounded through the metal door, "Come in."

After pushing open the door, the light from the room shone out first, piercing the dark night. After a moment of dazzle, the figure of Professor Mans, wearing an American tough jacket, gradually emerged in front of him. He sat with his back to the door.

The room was not very big, only about 10 square meters, and had no windows. It was originally a vacant room on the second floor of the library, and was later converted by Professor Mans into a temporary office for faculty members.

"Professor, the Portugal mission report has been successfully approved by Norma. Here are the application materials for the mission funds. I would like to trouble you to sign them so that I can submit them to the college."

"I see. You can take it here."

Yaki walked over to Mans and placed the application materials on the table in front of him. Mans unscrewed the cap of his pen and signed the document without even looking at it.

"It's signed. Sorry to bother you, Aki, to fill out the documents at this late hour." Professor Mans tightened the cap on the pen. "Originally, we didn't have to rush through these procedures, but I have an urgent mission and I have to go to China right away."

Aki smiled gently: "Professor, you are being a little too polite. We are all your students."

Mans nodded. As a professor with considerable experience in the academy, he had taught quite a few students, but Aki was the most student-like of his students.

Many years ago, Kassel Academy was a mysterious military fortress, and the students it trained were all the most elite soldiers. Now Kassel Academy is like a madhouse. Perhaps because of her Yamato Nadeshiko temperament, Shude Aki is the most student-like girl he has ever taught.

He suddenly thought of the crazy little girl from the Chen family. She was a student arranged by the academy. That girl and Shude Aki were like two completely opposite sides of the same coin.

The school arranged for me to go to Chen's house and contact Chen Motong in advance. After I finally arrived, I was told that she had secretly run away from home two days before I came.

"Speaking of this, Professor, I am a little curious."

Yaji put the signed document into a file bag and wrapped it up. "I remember the Executive Department's regulations said that after a specialist completes a mission, he or she will have a period of vacation. You just came back from New York last week, why did the academy send you to China to carry out a mission?"

"Don't worry, we're not going on any dangerous mission this time." Mans said that the academy's team found clues of suspected dragon remains in China and asked me to go and confirm it with Professor von Schneider from the executive department.

She knew Professor von Schneider, who was the head of the executive department and was equivalent to the supreme commander of the armed forces. Because he had been injured while on a mission before, his face was always covered with a black mask to hide the scars, and he had to carry a small cart with an oxygen cylinder.

"Professor Schneider is going too?" Aki was surprised. She felt that it would be inconvenient for Professor Schneider to travel given his condition.

"Yes." Mans said, "We will take the college's private plane. You don't have to worry too much."

Aki said "Oh" softly and nodded: "When are you leaving?"

Mans put away the things on the table and said, "Right away."...

At the same time, fifteen time zones away in China, a Boeing 737-800 had arrived at a coastal city in southern China. This was a short-haul civil flight from Shanghai, and because this city was not a big station, the plane would only stop briefly here.

As soon as the plane stopped, the gangway truck came up. The moment the cabin door opened, a red-haired girl carrying a small handbag was stretching lazily in front of the cabin door.

She had just woken up from a long journey, releasing her tired body, and the oncoming red sunset just took away some of her sleepiness. The men leaning against the cabin door subconsciously turned their heads to look at the cabin door, and in the sunset they only saw a black silhouette as graceful as a spring mountain ridge.

"Dear...passenger, you can get off the plane now." The beautiful flight attendant reminded with a smile.

At that moment, she hesitated for a moment, because she was not sure about the age of the girl in front of her.

Judging from her appearance, her delicate facial features have grown quite mature, and her proud figure is enough to be a model for any major catwalk in the country. However, the youthful childishness between her eyebrows and her quirky vitality make her feel that the girl in front of her may not even have graduated from high school.

After a brief consideration, she chose to call the girl a traveler.

"I know, have a nice trip, see you next time." Nuonuo replied with a smile, stretched out his arm and waved to the flight attendant, then jumped down the gangway.

It was not a peak tourist season, and there were not many people on the plane. She was the only passenger who got off the plane at this stop. But when she left, she also attracted the attention of many people on the bus.

Until the moment the cabin door closed again, many people were still recalling the unforgettable silhouette of flowers blooming in the setting sun.

The flight time was not long, and Nuonuo took his suitcase and got on a taxi outside the airport. After telling the driver the name of the hotel, the taxi drove away along the main road, leaving the airport and the surrounding deserted land behind.

Nuonuo crossed her legs and leaned against the car window, her slender ankles swinging on tiptoe, taking in the passing city landscape bit by bit.

Typical buildings, typical urban layout. This is a relatively developed but ordinary coastal southern city.

This is Lu Mingfei’s hometown.

Nuonuo stuck out her tongue out the window, thinking that such an ordinary city was worthy of that ordinary guy.

Profiling is a very metaphysical thing. If Nuonuo told you that she had accurately found the city where Lu Mingfei came from after just one day of contact, you would definitely not believe it. But for Nuonuo, profiling is such a natural thing.

It was just like when playing Red Alert, after the Allies built a spy satellite, they could automatically gain full-map vision. Nuonuo profiled him, and then she knew where Lu Mingfei's hometown was.

In fact, she didn't profile any special information from Lu Mingfei. Apart from the "long time no see" she saw in Lu Mingfei's eyes when they first met, Lu Mingfei didn't give her much information.

She didn't know whether it was out of curiosity or because she had just run away from home and was not in a hurry to go back so early, but she flew directly from Italy to China on a whim and came to this city following the instructions in the profile.

However, it seems that it is not easy to meet Lu Mingfei in such a big city.

But she was not in a hurry, and she did not come to this city to see Lu Mingfei. She simply wanted to take a walk around the place where Lu Mingfei lived and see if she could combine the previous profile of Lu Mingfei to get more key information.

　It’s the end of the month, and my monthly ticket is 555555.
