Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 206: Can Lennon stop me?
Lennon did not stop Qingkong. Besides, there were constant vibrations coming from the depths, so it was not suitable for questioning. Lennon made way for Jennifer and Hediciko to follow Qingkong. He stayed behind to look at the frozen passage, then turned and ran towards the entrance.
Several people joined the students and Olu Battle Mage in front, and helped each other to return to the ground safely.
The battle mages used magic to quickly clear a space, and then imposed restrictions on the entrance to the crack to prevent anything from rushing out.
After counting the number of people, Lennon wanted to ask Qingkong, but Qingkong said first: "You protect the students back to the academy, and we can talk about anything tomorrow."
Then he took the bottle of Black Eclipse Spirit from Hong Xun, handed it to Jennifer and said to her, "Go back and give this to Professor Ben. Keep it well and don't give it to anyone else."
Jennifer hugged the glass bottle tightly: "Yes, Professor Qingkong."
"Then...goodbye."
Qingkong didn't give Lennon any chance to speak and disappeared in an instant in front of everyone.
"Professor Lennon, I have to take the Black Eclipse Spirit back to the Department of Mysticism. I'll leave this place to you. Goodbye! Hediciko, come with me to protect the Black Eclipse Spirit."
"Ah!" Hediciko was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Jennifer winking at him, he immediately realized that he was saved: "Yes, Assistant Jennifer."
Jennifer left with Hedicico and Falcon. Professor Lennon's expression changed several times, and he shouted to the captured students, "You all saw what happened just now. The things in here can definitely kill all of you!
You kids are so poorly disciplined!
I think Vice President Elvi is already waiting for you in the disciplinary office. You will definitely miss this unforgettable night."
The students lowered their heads in mourning, and some cast envious glances at Hediciko's departing back.
…
In the Secret Affairs Headquarters of Cape District of Nutao City, Luke was sitting in his office, and Qingkong had been recovered and was entering charging mode.
While drinking coffee, Luke recalled what happened to Qingkong at the ruins of the Magic Botanical Garden.
The journey was smooth at first, with Qingkong and Hongshun working together to destroy the demonized plants and mutant animals. But the smooth journey did not last long, as they encountered two people who looked exactly like them.
They will even use the fighting skills displayed by Red Falcon and Clear Sky.
Mimic Mother Plant: It is the final BOSS deep in the Magic Botanical Garden.
After the Magic Botanical Garden was destroyed, the magic energy that maintained the ecosystem was buried deep underground. A seed of a mimicry grass fell into the magic energy, mutated and became a mimicry mother plant in the chaotic magic environment.
The mimic mother plant has its own territory. When a creature enters its territory, the mimic mother plant will capture the creature's pheromones and then quickly bloom and bear fruit.
The fruit produced is a simulation of the organism through pheromones.
Another thing that Clear Sky and Kestrel encountered was the simulated fruit of the mimic mother plant.
The first batch of simulated fruits only looked similar, and their strength was no different from that of ordinary mutant animals, so they were easily destroyed by Qingkong and Hongjian. However, the second batch of simulated fruits appeared soon, and their strength would be much stronger.
This is the uniqueness of the mimicry mother plant. It produces fruit very quickly, and each encounter can obtain more pheromones from the target organism. Then, as the pheromones increase, the ability to produce simulated fruit will also increase rapidly.
When the pheromone changes from quantitative change to qualitative change, the mimic mother plant will rapidly multiply and overwhelm the invaders with a large amount of simulated fruits.
When Clear Sky and Kestrel encountered the simulated fruit, it meant that they had entered the territory of the mimicking mother plant. This was inconsistent with the information in Luke's phone, and the territory had obviously expanded a lot.
What caused this change?
Moreover, the timing at which these students discovered this place was too coincidental. Normally, it would be too difficult to find the correct entrance in such a large and dense forest.
Someone wants to bring these students in and kill them?
Qingkong decided to raid the mimic mother plant and find out what influence had caused it to expand its territory.
The mimicry itself doesn't have a strong attack power, so the most important requirement for killing it is... fast. Find and kill it before the mimicry gets enough pheromones.
For those who enter the underground of the Magic Botanical Garden for the first time, it is almost impossible to complete the task. The underground environment is too complicated, and before finding the mimicry mother plant, there is a greater chance of dying in the attack of the simulated fruit.
Only players can find the right path through repeated deaths .
Before Qingkong entered here, she had a plan to deal with the mimicry mother plant, and she memorized the path to the energy source of the Magic Museum firmly in her mind.
The rest is easy.
Qingkong and Hongjian fought their way out of the blockade of simulated fruits. They reached the deepest part of the Magic Botanical Garden and found the mimic mother plant. They killed it while being besieged by massive amounts of simulated fruits.
Then it was discovered that the one affecting the mimic mother plant was actually a black erosion spirit.
Finally, the death of the mimic mother plant caused a disorder in the magic energy, and the magic explosion almost destroyed the lower part of the rift.
Who did it?
What is the purpose?
During this extraordinary period, Qingkong needed to keep the battery at a safe level to cope with any emergencies that might occur at any time. While charging his phone, Luke was looking up information related to the Magic Botanical Garden.
Since the location of the Magic Botanical Garden is too hidden, players need to complete a series of pre-tasks to discover this hidden map. Finally, through an assistant named Francis, the underground entrance of the Magic Botanical Garden is discovered in a commissioned investigation mission.
Francis is an assistant professor of Magical Herbology at Oulu College. He is very keen on fame and fortune but has bad luck and cannot even be promoted to professor. So he wants to gain achievements in Magical Herbology by investigating the ruins of the Magical Botanical Museum a hundred years ago, so as to gain extra points for his evaluation as professor.
During the storyline between the player and Francis, it will be discovered that he is also an informant developed by the City Hall at the Oulu College, providing scientific research intelligence within the Oulu College to the new nobles for a fee.
The new nobles.
Is this a roundabout attack they are preparing to launch at Oulu College after suffering a heavy defeat in Raging Waves City?
Because of Qingkong, the Innovation Society and Oulu College had a close relationship that seemed close to outsiders. Especially after Qingkong placed Yominton under house arrest in the name of Oulu College, it directly led to the complete defeat of the new nobility.
If Yomington had been on the Princess Fortune at the time, Edgar's duel with the Meteorite would not have happened.
For the new nobles, without knowing what specific role Oulu College played in the matter, alienating the relationship between Qingkong and Oulu College was definitely a sure-win deal.
Of course, these are just Luke's guesses.
The origin of the Black Eclipse Spirit also needs to be considered.
It is necessary to give Qingkong some external support, lest the situation gets worse and worse due to the instigation of someone with ulterior motives.
"Kaylena, help me make an appointment with the World Bank's director of music. Just tell him that I have some clues related to the ancient Sparkling Gold Civilization and we'll meet to talk in the evening."
"Yes, Chief Inspector."
The day is spent in busy work, and all parties' affairs and plans are proceeding in an orderly manner.
At night, Luke drove to the Golden Hotel, and Yin, who was dressed fresh and beautiful, got into the car.
"Originally I didn't want to see you, but... your people said you have clues about the ancient shining gold civilization."
Luke smiled and said, "I'm sorry. I apologize to you for the last incident. Thank you and Pan for not making things difficult for me in the cooperation of investing in the Cape District. If you have time, go to the Cape District to take a look. It is changing every day."
"Okay, I'll go check it out... Tell me about the clues you found first."
Seeing Yin pretending to be angry but not really angry at all, Luke could only mind his own business.
"When my people were investigating another case, they discovered that Professor Qingkong of the Oulu College's Department of Esoteric Arts was collecting a large amount of information related to ancient civilizations. Many of them were shipped in from overseas, including a small number of antiques from the ancient civilization period.
Since you and Pan are both interested in the things of the ancient Shuojin civilization, I know Miss Qingkong very well and can introduce you to each other. Miss Qingkong is very knowledgeable and will definitely be able to talk to you about the history of the ancient Shuojin civilization. "
"You and Miss Qingkong are very familiar with each other?" Yin's tone suddenly turned cold: "I remember that the last time you met was the first time, at a party hosted by Mrs. Michelle, and I was there at that time."
Noticing Yin's mood change, Luke realized that he could use Qingkong as a shield.
"That was indeed the first time Miss Qingkong and I met, but we have had indirect contact for a long time. Do you remember Sandpaper? He was a mechanical maintenance technician at the Secret Service."
"Remember."
"She is the middleman between me and Miss Qingkong. If there are some issues that are inconvenient for our Secret Service to handle, I will ask Miss Qingkong to help. Although Miss Qingkong looks indifferent, she will definitely do what she promised to do."
Luke described the relationship between himself and Qingkong as if they were good friends who had known each other for a long time.
Yin was silent for a while, then said, "Let's go find Miss Qingkong now. I'm looking forward to communicating with her. I hope she's as good as you said."
"Come on, you won't be disappointed."
Luke started the car, and a portal opened in front of the car, and the car whooshed in.
It was just nightfall in Raging Waves City, and the subspace where Oulu College was located was entering the morning. The car that had crossed the space appeared on a road leading to Oulu College, and was soon stopped by a battle mage who was patrolling with three Abyss leopards.
"Who are you?" The battle mage and Abyss Leopard surrounded the car, alert as if they would attack at any time: "How dare you open the space channel and enter the Oulu College area without permission!"
Luke rolled down his window and pulled out his badge to show the battle mage.
"I am Yunxing, the chief detective of the Secret Affairs Bureau of Nutao City, and this is the director of the World Bank . We are here to visit Professor Qingkong of the Mystic Department of Oulu College. It is our fault for not taking the normal channel, but it seems that this place was not so strict before.
What happened?
The academy's security zone actually extends here?"
Luke demonstrated his intuition as a senior Imperial spy and took the initiative against the battle mage who blocked his way.
Yin Ye took out the seal to prove his identity.
After the battle mage verified the identities of the two, he asked Abyss Leopard to step aside.
Then he said to Luke, "Some bad things did happen in the academy these past two days, and it has something to do with Professor Qingkong. If you two don't have anything urgent to do, please return to Raging Waves City and make an appointment with the Oulu College office."
Luke immediately said seriously: "It is related to Miss Clear Sky, which is a matter of urgency to me. Miss Clear Sky has saved Raging Wave City from the Abyss Mage many times, and the city owes her.
I will not allow Miss Qingkong to suffer any unfair treatment, get out of the way!"
Oulu Battle Mage said awkwardly: "Chief Inspector of Meteorite, this is our Oulu Academy's business."
"No, this is also about Raging Waves City." Luke started the car and forced his way in.
Olu Battle Mage did not dare to attack the head of the Secret Affairs Bureau of Raging Waves City and was forced to give way.
In the high-level conference room of the Oulu Academy, important figures from the academy gathered together.
What happened last night made everyone present feel scared. If Professor Lennon hadn't rushed to the ruins of the Magical Botanical Garden in time and pulled the reckless student out, no one knew what the consequences would be.
Although these students are mischievous, they are the treasures of each department.
Moreover, everyone is eager to know the role played by Professor Qingkong and the Department of Mysticism in the whole incident.
"Professor Qingkong..." Vice Dean Elvi, who was sitting in the first seat, asked Qingkong, who was sitting in the position of the head of the Department of Mystic Arts, "Do you have any objection to the course of events just described by Professor Lennon?"
Qingkong replied: "No, Professor Lennon said what happened at the time, and I have no objection."
"That is to say... you knew that these students would enter the dangerous area a long time ago, and not only did you not stop them, you even arranged for teaching assistant Jennifer to sneak in and let them fall into danger."
Qingkong said according to his own thoughts: "I think your statement that I 'let them fall into danger' is not correct. At that time, Hongjian and I were in front of the student team and eliminated most of the things that were dangerous to them, and even killed the mimic mother plant in the deepest part."
Vice Dean Elvi looked at everyone in the venue, and then questioned Qingkong: "What happened in front of the student team is all what you said. Without evidence to prove what you said, we can't be convinced. We only saw ignorant students there, you were in front of the students, and then there was an abnormal movement in the underground space of the Magic Botanical Hall.
If Professor Lennon and the Battle Mage had not stopped the students at that time, they would most likely have been buried underneath.
And Professor said... you were carrying a Black Eclipse at the time."
"I got it from the Mimic Mother Plant. The Black Eclipse Spirit affected the Mimic Mother Plant, making it extremely aggressive. I suspect someone lured the students into the underground of the Magic Botanical Museum ruins and then used the Mimic Mother Plant to attack them."
"Your suspicion is reasonable. We also have reason to suspect that you did all of this, but Professor Lennon prevented you from doing so."
Clear Sky smiled and said, "If I did it, could Lennon stop me?"
