If he were alone, he would be kicked out as soon as he walked in.
He still looked so silent, like a piece of wood, or even more like a piece of plasticine, which could be molded into any shape by anyone and had no idea of resisting.
If Levi had not witnessed with his own eyes the ruthlessness and determination with which he attacked Luo Jin, he would never have imagined that this plain-looking young man would have such a side.
And last night, after being silent for a long time due to Levi's crazy speech, Zhu Long agreed as expected.
Just as he himself said, the moment he chose to jump off the bridge, he was actually dead.
Levi saved him and gave him a chance for revenge, so he was willing to give his life to Levi next.
Afterwards, Levi actually suggested that he simply escape from the academy overnight.
Because after Luo Jin's death, he was obviously the most suspicious. Even though it could be easily inferred from the scene that the murderer was definitely not an ordinary person, given the bottom line of those upper-class people in this world, they could definitely temporarily pull out a special recruit to convict him in order to ease the pressure from above and the public opinion from below.
But Zhu Long rejected Li Wei's proposal, and his reason was very simple.
If it was a week ago, he would have to run if he wanted to survive, but now, the Minister of Discipline Department has returned home.
Sherlock Green.
Zhu Long was not unfamiliar with this name, a rather alternative son of a grand duke.
It is said that he was raised by a low-level knight in the Western District. He did not know his identity until he was 12 years old, but his alternative personality made him stand out quite conspicuous wherever he went, even when he came to the academy to study.
After being taken to the Discipline Department, a special assistant minister immediately took over. As Zhu Long expected, he was first taken for a physical quality test. After confirming that all indicators were still normal, he was taken directly to the minister's office.
The discipline director with long golden ponytail and tall stature was sitting in the spacious office. Behind him was a whole glass wall, through which one could clearly see the Zhiming River that ran through the entire college.
He was looking at Zhu Long's physical fitness test report. It was actually a very simple matter to screen scientists and ordinary people. The quality of the body that could carry the rules was far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Just a few simple physical examinations could reveal a person's foundation.
Zhu Long's physical examination results clearly show that he is still an ordinary person.
This is undoubtedly sufficient evidence to refute everything.
Putting down the physical examination report in his hand, Green raised his head and looked into Zhu Long's eyes. He did not mention Luo Jin's matter, but instead spoke in an apologetic voice.
"I'm sorry for the decision the academy made about you and your fellow special admissions students two weeks ago."
Zhu Long didn't say anything. He just looked into Green's eyes quietly, in silence.
"There is no school rule that specifically prohibits special admissions students from holding assemblies, protesting against a decision, or appealing. However, the discipline committee arrested you and expelled your 37 classmates without reason under the order of the director. Also, in the case of your three classmates beating up regular students, the discipline department made a conclusion without a thorough investigation. These are all problems."
Green was very humble. No regular student in this academy would apologize to a special recruit, especially a notorious one like Zhu Long.
But unfortunately, he, as the Minister of Discipline, can do it.
"You don't need to apologize for this." Zhu Long's voice was very light. "40 lives have been lost. There is no point in apologizing."
"I understand that I will submit a review report to the Student Union and the Board of Directors later. Maybe it won't produce any results, but it won't be meaningless."
"Thanks."
The office fell into silence after they arrived. One of them felt guilty while the other was silent. It was obvious that they had nothing more to say.
It was not until a long time later that Green spoke again.
"Does Luo Jin's death have anything to do with you?"
His question was very straightforward, and Zhu Long's answer was also very straightforward.
Looking directly into Green's eyes, he said calmly.
"No, but he deserved to die."
"Okay, that's all for today. Some people suspect that you were involved in his death, but apparently you have sufficient evidence to prove that it was not you who did it. You can go back now. If anyone comes to trouble you for this matter, you can come to me."
After Green made a serious promise to Zhu Long, Zhu Long nodded, stood up and left the Discipline Department.
Just as he guessed, based on the things left at the scene, it was easy to infer that the murderer who killed Luo Jin was not an ordinary person.
However, the special students, who make up the largest population base of this academy, are all ordinary people.
Unless the people in the Discipline Department find new evidence to prove that there is more than one murderer, the suspicion will never fall on Zhu Long, who is still an ordinary person.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the person responsible for reviewing the case can ensure fairness.
Sherlock Green is clearly such a person.
Watching Zhu Long leave, Green was about to pick up a pen and start writing what he had just promised, a review suggestion on the dismissal and resale of 37 special students, when his assistant suddenly knocked on the door and walked in hurriedly.
"Minister! News came from the death scene that after Luo Jin passed the natural theory exam, the key that the academy gave him is now missing!"
Hearing this, Green couldn't help but pause the pen he had just put down.
This incident has spread throughout the entire college. The LED screens are playing the latest interviews shot by the news department on the scene. By now, almost all students in the school know that a regular student was killed at home.
Because there was no discipline committee member accompanying him this time, he did not get on the tram again.
I just walked like this, from the Discipline Department across the southern half of the college, and walked back to the dormitory.
Levi was the only one left in the dormitory. He did not attend the general education class because it would be the same as long as he passed the assessment in a few days.
When Zhu Long came back, he was studying the key that was glowing with a light pink in the syringe.
Levi is actually very interested in this liquid that can enable people to master the rules. It has nothing to do with the rules, but it can help people with knowledge to gain control of the rules. According to the information he knows, keys are clearly produced by humans themselves.
Did it appear after the laws of nature were broken, or did it already exist before they were broken?
Naturally, Levi thought of this question, but obviously, even the college textbooks did not provide any explanation on this aspect.
It's like the existence of a key is innate.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
After seeing Zhu Long coming back, Li Wei knew that he must have passed the test, so he just threw the key over to him.
"You can use it now that you are back. I am curious whether the ability it gives people to control rules is random or regular. Which subject do you do best in?"
“I’m a chemistry major.”
While answering Levi's questions, Zhu Long injected the liquid in the syringe into his body without hesitation.
After the entire key was injected, from the outside, he did not change at all, but three prompts popped up on Levi's player information.
[Pass the fire to 1 person, gain 1000 experience points]
[Upgrade to 2, reward 10 free attribute points]
[Level 2: 1000/5000]
This obviously meant that Zhu Long had successfully become a scientist, and Levi did not hesitate to add all the attribute points rewarded for the upgrade to the two attributes, making [Physical] and [Intelligence] both become the same 51.
Then he looked at Zhu Long and asked curiously.
"Can you feel the power you have gained?"
Zhu Long didn't answer, he just put a finger into the water in the cup.
The next second, the water disappeared at an extremely fast speed!
But Levi could clearly feel that the water did not disappear out of thin air, but was decomposed into gas and dissipated into the air!
"This should be [Element Decomposition]."
Zhu Long spoke.
"I once saw a regular student use the rule classification table. What I can control now is the rules related to element decomposition in chemistry."
This made Levi's eyes light up, and he felt that this ability should have great potential.
"What substances can you decompose now? Only water?"
Zhu Long picked up another piece of sawdust that had fallen on the table. In his hands, the sawdust quickly changed its original basic structure and finally turned into a pool of powder mixed with crystals of various elements.
"It should be fine as long as I know its elemental structure."
"What about people? People should be OK too, right?"
Faced with Levi's question, Zhu Long shook his head.
"I don't know either. The human body is made up of a lot of elements. I only know about 60 or so. If I really want to decompose it, I can probably only decompose the ones I know about."
"Come on, try dividing me!"
Seeing Zhu Long's strange expression, Levi extended his hand to him with great interest.
After watching him move for a long time, Levi added another sentence.
"Just try to disassemble my fingers. Don't worry, it's okay. I'm not stupid enough to volunteer to be a cripple."
After hearing him say this, Zhu Long grabbed the index finger that Levi extended, but after a long while, nothing happened.
"No." He shook his head and said, "Maybe my ability is not enough. I can't decompose the matter controlled by consciousness."
