Chapter 576: A War on Many Fronts (9)
Same time, different world.
"Just yesterday, SETH, a new technology company established less than three months ago, was officially listed, and this mysterious company with unknown backers behind it seems to be particularly trusted by investors, and since the beginning of the listing, it has been rising, once again breaking the limit record we can imagine."
"Unlike those traditional conglomerates, SETH has taken a different route from the beginning, with many projects and patents under its name, including virtual reality technology, short-distance disintegration and teleportation technology, and it has gone from obscurity to blockbuster in less than 100 days."
"There must be some kind of support behind it, this is the unanimous opinion of investors who are optimistic about it, but no one knows what is behind it, like a Pandora's box falling from the sky, it suddenly adds a strong touch of color to this ordinary world, bringing into our lives those technologies that once seemed impossible, or will only happen in the future world of movies."
"So here, I can't help but ask myself, is mankind about to usher in the same leap and development as the steam, electricity, and information industry revolutions, and will the technology innovated by SETH be the key to open the opportunity of the new era, I have a hunch...... Our lives are about to change dramatically. ”
"Okay, let's talk about Hell's Kitchen, the mysterious figure hasn't been seen since the Flash was filmed in New York not long ago, but just three hours ago. A pizza delivery courier saw a more real existence and asked him to recount the scene at that time. ”
I don't know if it's a talk show host or some kind of expert who waved his hand in front of the big screen. Then the screen cuts to a video taken with a mobile phone.
A delivery guy in a motorcycle hat and a Bibiri pizza said to the camera, "I swear, I saw Catwoman, oh my god, she's hotter than Anne Hathaway, she's ......"
Syllable!
Also a vampire, but at a higher level than those in Ice and Fire. With an unhappy face, he turned off the TV and threw the remote control aside.
"Hey!" Next to it, the hair is combed neatly, shiny and can reflect the figure. The handsome blonde guy who looked like sliced cheese bread cried out dissatisfiedly, "It's boring enough here, how can you take away our only happiness, I haven't seen TV in years." ”
"It's your only happiness." Someone in the room immediately retorted. An English girl with black hair and black eyes sat quietly on the sofa. Then she absentmindedly drew the book in her hand, but noticeably, she was wearing a rather British-style wizarding robe, which seemed to be from Hogwarts, "Don't think of everyone else as inferior as you." ”
"Oh, dear, look who this is, the youngest in Hogwarts history. Even the youngest Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher in the history of the wizarding world, come on. The handsome blonde man said. This is not a play in your academy, this is war, a brutal war. ”
"Have you ever faced those mutilated and bloody corpses, have you experienced the feeling of intimate robes falling beside you one by one, no you don't, you don't know anything."
The blonde man almost gritted his teeth, "Do you know what a wizard should do, if you don't have the two blows of Lord Merlin, the only thing you need to do is protect yourself, especially a delicate, delicious little witch like you." ”
The young Defence Against the Dark Arts professor was stunned by what the blonde man said, her little mouth opened in surprise into an O-shape, and as soon as her temper came, she was ready to slap it...... The soft sofa put on a good student's attitude to teach the blonde man, but at this time, a hoarse female voice suddenly came from the dark corner.
"Since you both know it's war, why are you still arguing." A black woman shrouded in armor and invisibility if she didn't speak spoke, her outfit was odd, not like any other period in history, but rather from mythology.
"Oh, there's no place for you to talk here, Valkyrie's shame, who knows how you got in." Hearing the black woman speak, the blonde man immediately turned the fire, and the defense professor immediately joined the battle, the two seemed to be from the same country, and neither of them had a good impression of this black man who did not match the mythological image in his mind.
Valkyrie's black sister was accustomed to this situation, and immediately lazily started a verbal fight with the two, Mei Mi rolled her eyes on the side, turned on the computer out of sight and was not annoyed, and went around hacking other people's websites for fun, while the fifth person who had no sense of existence next to her bored put a pair of leather boots full of mud on the table.
"Useless teamwork." He has a straw in his mouth, dressed as a cowboy, and has reached the level of a rough uncle.
Hearing the complaint, Mei Mi subconsciously glanced at it, as if there was absolutely something wrong, and then turned her head back, looked at his boots and asked helplessly, "You have been living in this concrete basement for more than a week, can you tell you how to make your boots stained with mud?" ”
"Well...... uncle's mouth crooked and shrugged, "Maybe it came with me." ”
"A man with slime on the soles of his boots?" Mei Mi laughed angrily.
"Wow...... little defense professor said in exclamation, turning downward, "It's very stylish." ”
"What?" Mei Mi almost collapsed, and she looked at the Defense Professor angrily, "You ...... What the hell is the vision. ”
The uncle shrugged, "If you want me to say, her vision is actually very good, but I don't like a little girl like you." He ignored the resentful gaze of the little professor of defense, and threw a wink at Mei Mi, "I still like a mature woman like you, and the convex and backward ones are suitable for me." ”
"But I don't feel your charm at all." Mei Mi said expressionlessly.
"Of course, I know." The uncle smiled very narcissistically. "That kind of little girl can only see the outside, and the superficial appearance alone will definitely not attract a mature and beautiful woman like you, my real charm is inside. As long as you are willing to have an in-depth conversation with me for an evening, I will definitely let you know you deeply......"
"Enough!" Mei Mi shouted angrily, and the sharp sound wave directly shattered the glass in the handsome blonde's hand, and the young defense professor also screamed in terror.
The handsome blonde man calmly touched the cold water sprayed on his face, and raised his eyebrows, "It's still a familiar feeling." And then ...... He saw Valkyrie silently pull out two clumps of cotton from her ears.
"You just didn't hear our bickering conversation at all?!" He collapsed, and Valkyrie nodded innocently.
"Then how do you respond so fluently!?"
Valkyrie tilted his head. "Probably because you say the same thing every time, and there's nothing new about it."
Seeing that several people are about to quarrel again, Mei Mi's patience seems to have reached the limit. Her knuckles rattled and her pointed fangs tended to bulge.
But it was at this time that the door to the basement was opened, after the hustle and bustle had experienced the first world. It was Habans who showed up at his counseling clinic. With a gentle smile on his face, he walked in calmly and calmly.
"Stop arguing." He said, "Joseph, you have made my sister angry again, and I told you that it is not that to please a girl. ”
"Habans!" Mei Mi called.
"I don't need you little kid to teach me." Joseph pouted, but seemed to be a little afraid of Habens, muttering to himself there.
"Your beef burger." Habans smiled and walked up to the handsome blonde and handed him a large bag of food. By the way, he handed some fruit to Valkyrie, "Ez." It's yours. He said, and Valkyries smiled and nodded back.
Finally, he magically took out a milky drink, bowed slightly gracefully, and handed it to the young Defence Against the Dark Arts professor with one hand, "Dear little princess Joanna, this is yours. ”
"Thank you!" Joanne, the little witch who taught Defence Against the Dark Arts, called out happily, and then immediately took it into her arms.
From the time Hubens entered the basement to the end of this series of adjustments, it took him less than a few minutes to get all the normalcy of these people, which was really ...... Practice makes perfect.
But after these people have eaten and drunk, the question arises, "When will we get out of here?" The handsome blonde man asked lazily as he leaned back on the sofa chair.
"yes, yes." Joanna echoed weakly, "After so many years of mixing around at Hogwarts, I finally returned to the real world, but I didn't hide in this dirty basement. ”
"I should go back to England and with my magic I will definitely be the most watched girl in the country, and I will know countless handsome guys by then, yes! The world of Harry Potter is completely different from the books, Tom and I are from the same era, that is, Tom Riddle, Voldemort. ”
"He's a nice guy, he's not crazy, although he may have been a little abnormal when he was a kid, and always said that he went to a place called Neverland, but then he was very nice and handsome, although ...... He seemed to have had some trouble with Dumbledore before I left......"
"Forget it." The handsome blonde man rolled his eyes, "Nobody wants to hear these stories from you, I just care when I can get out of here." ”
Habans kept smiling, he quietly watched the exchange of several people, although this exchange did not seem too friendly, he never put away his smile, and at this time, he finally spoke.
"You should know...... There is some danger out there at this point, and although we are not yet fully exposed, the new humans seem to have begun an organized implementation plan, and they are leading the humans to accept their existence little by little. ”
"If it is discovered at this time, it will still cause a strong backlash from various countries, remember the accident in the new human race a few weeks ago, the person who can turn into a flame estimates that he still doesn't know where he is locked up for slicing experiments."
"Then we can't stay here for the rest of our lives." Joanna said.
"It won't be long." Habans looked her in the eye, "The institute seems to be ...... The next step has already begun, and no matter what the outcome is, I am afraid that the world of hustle and bustle will soon be over. ”
"I thought he was going to find out on his own and break free, but apparently ...... The people in the bureau don't see it as well as us outsiders. ”
"It's not that the message you asked me to convey was too vague. What Eve wanted to do, she could always do, not to say that he might not understand. I don't understand it myself. Mei Mi complained from the side.
"The research institute's eyeliner is always in unexpected places, originally I planned for you to take him to a safe point, and then tell him the situation in detail, this sentence is just a backup plan, it was told to him when he couldn't reach the safe point, in order to prevent being intercepted by the research institute, it is natural to be vague."
"The plan should be foolproof. He should have arrived at a safe point, and he didn't need to understand that sentence at all, who knew that this guy named Li Mu who appeared halfway would disrupt everything. Yi Huan transmitted in advance, and this sentence really became the only message. ”
Habans was also a little helpless, he complained, "Who the hell is that Li Mu?" ”
But the blonde man who had been listening to the conversation between the two had been on the side. But he suddenly interrupted them. "Actually, I have one more question." He said, "You always mention that wizard, and I don't understand why we should listen to him, because he sounds ...... Seems a little stupid, just because he's a wizard? ”
"Forgive me, wizards are not as powerful as you think. I have one next to me. He pointed to Joanna, who was full of rage, "See what she can do." Light a fire and float up, maybe only Phantom Shift is the most useful, and she can't even use the Death Curse. ”
"Me, me!" Joanna was anxious and angry.
Habans sighed, "That's not the reason either. He explained, "I have reason to believe that this man is the leader of a new generation of wizards, who has become, wizards are not just people who use magic, it refers to a race, all of us are wizards, and the world we enter is also called the world of wizards." ”
"The wizard leader has a lot of secrets, although I don't know what it is, but we need him, otherwise why do you think the research institute is going to the trouble of dealing with him, they are not dealing with this person, but dealing with his identity, people can choose a new one when they die, as long as the inheritance of this identity always exists."
"Look at those new humans in the research institute, they are ready for all-out war, the hidden power of the campus has not surfaced at all, the first confrontation is coming, we need him, we need this leader, although I don't know why he is not qualified." Habans said without giving an inch.
The atmosphere stiffened for a while, but at this time, Joanna, who had a big brain, suddenly asked, "How do you know so much, as far as I know...... You went to him the first time he came back. ”
"Greier told me." Habans continued, "It's the Prophet Witch with three people sharing one eyeball. ”
"The guys in the Greek gods are always mysterious, or gods are like this, but in general, they are very reliable."
"Does God Really Exist?" Joanna asked.
Habans shrugged, "What do you think, I can't figure out how the world was created anyway, except for God." ”
But at this time, the handsome blonde guy shook his head, "Enough! He said, standing up, "I don't care about these so-called prophecies and fate, I've heard enough people tell me what to do." ”
"I'm Lancelot! No one can lead me, not even Arthur! ”
He put his hand lightly on the long sword at his waist, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the people around him seemed to be shocked by him for a while, Lancelot was a little proud in his heart, but before he could wait three seconds, someone began to dismantle his platform.
"Come on." Joseph sneered, "You really think you are Lancelot, you just know the direction of the plot, use small means to replace him, it is estimated that you can't even compare to one percent of the real Lancelot, and finally, please tell me, the queen is not a girl." ”
"Of course not." Lancelot exclaimed, "I'm not in that world, and you watch the Merlin Legend?" ”
"Of course." The middle-aged and depressed Joseph nodded as a matter of course, "I'm a big fan of Rolling Niang." ”
Seeing that the topic was getting more and more deviated, but the atmosphere was not so tense, Habans sighed helplessly, he didn't know if these people could resist the upcoming war, and he didn't know what was going on there, but the situation here was really bad, even if it was too different from Mina on campus.
