Chapter 316 Different Warhead Fragments

Mance crushed the sealing wax with his thumb, unsealed the seal, and reached into the brown paper bag.

There was only a piece of paper in the bag, which was very thin, and it was unknown how much it could hold. As soon as Mans took out a small piece of the paper, Schneider immediately held his hand and stuffed it back.

"Wait a minute."

Mans looked at Schneider blankly, obviously not knowing what he meant by this.

Schneider turned his head and looked at Raymond, and said coldly: "Specialist B007 Raymond, your mission is over, you can go back now."

Lao Lei was stunned for a moment, then he immediately understood that this was Professor Schneider's order to expel him.

Kassel College is a place with clear hierarchy. Many secret documents and storage rooms in the library require corresponding levels of authority to access and enter.

Naturally, not every executive department member has the authority to read the sincerity conveyed directly by "Lord Wa" to the top management of the college.

As a commissioner of the executive department, Lao Lei certainly knew the rules. Without hesitation, he nodded to Mans and Schneider, then turned and left the room, closing the door behind him with a "click".

Schneider didn't release his hand on Mance's hand until the almost inaudible footsteps outside the door gradually disappeared.

"You are so defensive that you don't even trust your own students." Mans said, "If there is really something wrong with Raymond, either this document would never reach us, or the document we have now is fake."

"Don't think too much. This is just to protect him." Schneider said calmly, without any emotion in his voice. "Knowing too much about some things will only do him harm."

Mance shrugged and said nothing more.

Schneider was the person in charge of this mission, and he was just coordinating to assist Schneider.

Moreover, as a tenured professor at Kassel College, he also knew that Schneider, as the head of the executive department, was merely following the rules when carrying out the mission.

Commissioner Raymond, whose bloodline is only B-level, does not have the right to read the contents of this document. This is the order made by the principal.

Where there are levels, there will be injustice, and of course there is injustice in Kassel College. However, not allowing Raymond to read this document is not a privilege of the high-level people, but a protection for the low-level people.

Because top-secret documents often represent greater dangers.

In the history of the academy, there was once an A-grade student who came into contact with an S-grade alchemical object that only the principal and the night watchmen were qualified to touch. As a result, he was contaminated by the living spirit on the alchemical object and irreversibly degenerated into Deadpool.

It can be said that behind every rule in the executive department and the academy are life lessons.

In many cases, only by following the rules can we avoid unexpected troubles.

Mans pulled the piece of paper out of the paper bag, glanced at it from top to bottom, and his nonchalant face finally showed a hint of emotion.

"This is……?"

Schneider raised his head and his eyes met Mance's in mid-air, and the former nodded.

"Yes." Schneider said slowly, "Now you know why I assigned you to assist me in this mission, right?"

Mans held the paper, looking at the densely packed and familiar names on it, in silence.

The so-called sincerity of "Lord Wa"... turns out to be a list?
"So..." Mans suddenly raised his head and looked at Schneider, "You also know about the follow-up of the Portugal mission?"

Schneider nodded: "Of course, Mans, don't forget that I am the head of the executive department."

Mance stuffed the list back into the paper bag, sat down, took out a cigar, lit it, took a few deep puffs, and smiled helplessly: "I only found out after I came back from New York... Bernardo has two bullets from the Philosopher's Stone in his body."

After the memorial service for Su Xiaoqiang's mother, Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang left Italy, so they didn't know that the Portuguese incident had not really come to an end.

After Bernardo's death, because he had conducted a prohibited human transmutation experiment, after consultation with the Solomon's Temple, the Kassel Academy finally transported Bernardo's body back to the academy headquarters and performed an autopsy. Then, fragments of the Philosopher's Stone were found in Bernardo's body.

This was normal. Mance's mission report also mentioned that Bernardo, who had transformed into a dragon, was killed by Louis Valentine using a bullet with the Philosopher's Stone.

However, after investigation by the Night Watch, it was discovered that the fragments of the Philosopher's Stone in Bernardo's body came from two different bullets.

One of them has been verified and confirmed to be the Philosopher's Stone used by Louis Valentine.

What about the other one?

At the same time, the origin of the human alchemy technology used by Bernardo is also very mysterious, and it is completely different from the alchemy technology used by Nicholas Flamel in history. According to the information obtained by the Kassel Academy, the Solomon Temple does not have similar alchemy technology.

Neither Mans nor Schneider were fools. They were both experienced executive department specialists. Although neither the principal nor the night watchman gave a specific answer, the answer was obvious.

The alchemical technology used by Bernardo obviously came from a mysterious force, and that force only treated Bernardo as an experimental subject from the beginning and never intended to let Bernardo live.

That's why they added the bullet of the Philosopher's Stone when Bernardo was about to escape.

Bernardo has two philosopher's stones in his body. Even within Kassel Academy, only a few people, including the principal and vice-principal, know about it.

Mance knew about this because he was the executive commissioner for the Portuguese incident.

And Schneider would know this, most likely because he is the head of the executive department.

I just don’t know how the Temple of Solomon knew about this, but they formally negotiated with the academy a few days ago, wanting to reclaim Bernardo’s body.

The reason is that Bernardo is a elder of the Solomon's Temple and a priest deeply loved by the local people. Although he made mistakes on his deathbed, he has worked diligently in the Solomon's Temple for so many years. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. We hope that the college can return Bernardo's body to us so that we can arrange a grand funeral for him.

Of course, the academy would not believe the nonsense of the Solomon's Temple. Mance felt that they probably just wanted to try to see if they could extract the Philosopher's Stone from Bernardo's body.

The technology for refining the Philosopher's Stone is not a secret, but there are only a few alchemists who can successfully refine the Philosopher's Stone. Only the heirs of the Valentine and Gottingen families, and alchemy masters like Vice President Flamel have the ability to refine the Philosopher's Stone.

It is said that China's ancient dragon-slaying family also possesses the technology to refine the Philosopher's Stone, but this has never been verified.

In the negotiations with the Society of Solomon's Temple, the college has been passing the buck.

The Research Department said that this matter was not their responsibility. They just borrowed Bernardo's body from the Executive Department for experiments and would return it to the Executive Department when the time comes.

Schneider, the head of the executive department, said that his authority was too low and that he had to go to the principal to discuss the matter. The principal did receive the negotiators sent by the Temple of Solomon into his office, prepared good tea and water, and talked with them for a whole day, from when he was 12 years old to when he was 120 years old, but the topic did not get to the point.

Until the other party finally couldn't sit still anymore and forced the topic back to Bernardo's body, the principal blinked innocently, spread out his hands and said that he had already handed over the matter to Vice Principal Night Watchman, but Night Watchman was on a business trip recently and it would take some time for him to come back. If you need it, I can give you his phone number.

The people from Solomon's Temple were so angry that they almost had a breakdown, and then the principal called someone to rush them to the psychology department.

Although this matter was resolved by passing the buck, it also shows something behind it.

Kassel College is not an impenetrable wall, there are still traitors in the college.

Mans knew that Manstein, the chairman of the college's disciplinary committee, was worried about this matter. At this time, it was self-evident what the "Lord Wa" and the people behind him had presented such a list.

As for the authenticity of this list...that is something that Principal Angers needs to consider.

……

After walking through the familiar path, Lu Mingfei stopped at the entrance of Xinyu Internet Cafe.

After hesitating for a long time, Lu Mingfei decided to bring Chu Zihang to see Lao Lei. Chu Zihang was not someone who would ask for help easily, so when he asked Lu Mingfei for help, even if it was for the purpose of thanking his senior brother for always protecting him, Lu Mingfei could not refuse.

"Lao Lei is the network administrator in this Internet cafe." Lu Mingfei turned around and said to Chu Zihang, "When I was in junior high school, I often came here to surf the Internet, so I am quite familiar with Lao Lei."

But he never imagined that Lao Lei also graduated from Kassel College.

After graduating from Kassel College, Lao Lei should have joined the executive department and carried out dragon-slaying missions around the world. Why did he end up working as a network administrator in such a shady Internet cafe?

Chu Zihang nodded. Lu Mingfei turned around and was about to lead Chu Zihang in when Chu Zihang patted his shoulder.

"Wait a moment." Chu Zihang said.

Lu Mingfei turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I can go in by myself." Chu Zihang said, "I am very grateful that you can bring me here. But what happens next is my own business. You don't have to get involved."

Seeing that Lu Mingfei seemed to want to say something, Chu Zihang added: "You are still in the first year of high school, and you haven't dealt with the matter between Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang yet. You are not suitable to get involved in these things now."

Lu Mingfei was suddenly stunned.

In fact, after being reborn, Lu Mingfei always had a sense of "superiority" when facing Chu Zihang.

This word does not have a derogatory meaning. The reason why he has this "superiority" is that he feels that he can protect Chu Zihang in many ways. Chu Zihang always took care of him in the past, and now he has the ability to protect Chu Zihang in return.

So whenever Chu Zihang came to him for something, Lu Mingfei would tell him everything he knew. Even though he might have a chance to use his ID card with Liu Miaomiao tonight, he let Liu Miaomiao go home and went to Chu Zihang's appointment.

But at that moment, Lu Mingfei suddenly had a feeling that the positions between him and Chu Zihang had never changed. Although he had always wanted to protect Chu Zihang, Chu Zihang actually always treated him as a junior who needed to be taken care of.

I don't want to take him with me on any dangerous trip. It's really boring.

But what Chu Zihang said made so much sense, as the issue between him and Liu Miaomiao had not been resolved yet.

It seems that there is no room for negotiation with the college about my going to the capital to study in the preparatory class next year. Xiao Tiannv has connections with her family, so of course she can go with me, but what about Miaomiao?
The reason why Lu Mingfei has been thinking about using the ID card during this period... is because he has been thinking about the method of improving bloodline that Xia Mi mentioned.

Although he thought that method was ridiculous at the time, and now he thought that it might just be a casual remark by the little dragon girl, he wanted to try it out. Although this idea was a bit selfish, Lu Mingfei was thinking that if Liu Miaomiao's bloodline could really be improved...

Lu Mingfei was silent for a few seconds, then he shrugged and said with a smile:

"Brother, what do you think of me? I will certainly take care of Miaomiao and the little goddess' affairs, but I can't just sit back and watch Brother's affairs, right?"

Chu Zihang was also stunned. Lu Mingfei's attitude was very sincere and serious. He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You don't have to accompany me..."

"Fuck, Senior Brother, stop being so fussy."

Lu Mingfei simply took action and pushed Chu Zihang's shoulder towards the Internet cafe: "Brother, don't forget that I know more about the dragon clan than you do. You are the one who should be protected, not me."

Inside and outside the door are two different worlds. If outside the door is the moonlight on a winter night... then inside the door is the sound of the Cloud Palace.

The Cloud Palace is the choking smoke swirling under the psychedelic lights, while the Swift Sound is the rapid typing of keyboards and the shouting and cursing of netizens.

This was Chu Zihang's first time in an Internet cafe. He stood at the door with the look of a good student, looking at the dense wires on the ground that obviously could not pass the fire inspection, and the slightly uncomfortable greetings echoing in the air. He felt a little overwhelmed.

Instead, Lu Mingfei pushed him straight to the front desk of the Internet cafe. The network administrator sitting at the front desk had a sallow complexion. He was not Lao Lei, but he was an administrator that Lu Mingfei knew.

"Hey, why are you on duty today? Where's Lao Lei?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Lao Lei is on a date with his girlfriend tonight, so I'm covering for him."

When this matter was mentioned, the network administrator's feeling of "unfairness" rose again.

As he was shrinking the webpage, he asked impatiently, "Why waste so much time talking? Are you here to find someone or to surf the Internet? Just tell me how long you'll be at the Internet cafe? It's not time to stay all night yet."

Lao Lei went on a date? What a bad timing.

"I'm not going to go online today. I have something to talk to Lao Lei about. It doesn't matter if he's not here."

Lu Mingfei chuckled and pushed Chu Zihang out of the door again.

"It seems like it's a bad coincidence that we came here today." Chu Zihang said.

"Lao Lei usually works the night shift more often. Who would have thought that he would suddenly go out on a date with his girlfriend today?"

Lu Mingfei also looked helpless, "Then let's come back next time, brother."

Chu Zihang nodded slightly, suddenly turned around, looked at the sign of the Internet cafe, and silently memorized the four words "Xinyu Internet Cafe" in his heart.
