Chapter 53 [Nutrient Solution 13000 plus update]
Under the gloomy sky, a member of the special operations team stationed on the city wall exhaled a breath of white air. After joking with his companions, he casually raised the telescope and looked outside the city.
Amid the flying dust, he saw a group of white shadows vaguely appearing on the distant horizon.
Unlike the fallen wizards who always wrapped themselves in black robes to hide their identities, the guests from the Magic Guild did not mind revealing their true faces. However, out of caution for the city of Morton's previous bad reputation, each of them wore a half-mask on their face.
The special operations team member immediately put down the binoculars and reported to the communicator: "Attention all units, the target is about to arrive! I repeat, the target is about to arrive!"
After hearing the communication, everyone in the city started to get busy.
The entrance to the fortress has changed a lot since then. In addition to the towering walls that Gu Liangyi and Yi Yan saw when they first entered the city, there are also 24-hour drone patrols and infrared detectors, as well as the latest inspection gates used for Olympic security, to ensure that no dangerous goods slip through the net.
When the Magic Guild team arrived, they were amazed by these items that were full of metallic technology.
"Alpha, what do you think this is?"
A petite girl with big eyes and a pointed hat pointed at the drones flying around in the sky curiously, hugged the arm of the young man next to her and asked in a sweet voice: "It's so interesting~ I want one too!"
"Alpha"'s eyebrows jumped, he took a deep breath, and took a lot of effort to convince himself not to do it.
Because this annoying woman is said to be Alpha's fiancée, and a princess of a principality in Fermat, and she is of noble status - although he never took these things seriously in the past, but now his strength has been weakened a lot, it is better not to cause trouble for the time being.
That’s right, this young wizard, called “Alpha” by those around him, is none other than the Devil himself.
But the body he is using now is not his real body, but his consciousness has been transferred to a puppet. His real body is still sleeping and recuperating in a safe place.
"It's probably some kind of trap," he answered nonchalantly, and tried to pull his hand out of the woman's hand without making a sound. The strong perfume on her body really gave him a headache. "Let go, Miss Coco, we're almost there."
"Hate it~ You always called me Coco before."
The veins on the demon's forehead jumped. When had he ever suffered such an injustice as the demon who unified the continent and whose reputation could stop children from crying at night? He thought darkly that this woman deserved to be cut into pieces, and sooner or later he would...
"Okay, Coco."
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, and it is normal to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.
Coco was satisfied. She coughed lightly, frowned, and brushed off the gorgeous skirt that was too cumbersome for the desert trek. She raised her pointed white chin and asked arrogantly to the special forces member who hurried over to greet them, "Hey, do you have a Warcraft vehicle for transportation? My feet hurt so much from walking."
"this……"
The members of the special task force looked at each other in bewilderment. Not to mention that they would need to report to the administration of Mo University if they wanted to drive in the city, just take the example of this petite-looking princess in front of them. How on earth did she walk all the way from the headquarters of the Magic Guild in a pair of high heels?
"Sorry, I'm late."
Zong Qinyuan's voice came from behind. A middle-aged man in a suit who had dressed himself up walked up to them and smiled as he extended his hand to them: "Welcome, welcome. We have prepared fruits and drinks for you, as well as transportation tools. Welcome everyone who has come from afar!"
Of course, only he himself knows how real and fake the smile on his face is.
Because there is no etiquette of shaking hands when meeting on the continent of Ansel, and the demon god is suspicious and cautious by nature, he just glanced coldly at the hand stretched out in front of him and did not shake it.
Instead, the lively Coco grabbed Zong Qinyuan's hand and shook it up and down vigorously: "Hello, you are Principal Zong, right? The current Lord of Morton City?"
"I'm Zong Qinyuan, and I'm also the principal." Zong Qinyuan turned his gaze to her and smiled, "But I'm not the mayor of Morton City now."
But at the same time, he was secretly surprised.
How come such a delicate-looking girl has such thick calluses on her hands?
He couldn't help but look at Coco with a new gaze, but the person involved seemed to have completely ignored Zong Qinyuan's inquiring gaze. He just pointed at the security door and asked again: "Then what is this?"
"The security gate is a device used to detect the personal belongings of those entering," Zong Qinyuan explained. "Before you enter the city, it's best to put all your sharp weapons and weapons in the frame over there and hand them over to us for safekeeping. Morton City is very safe now, and we will definitely ensure your personal safety after entering the city."
Is Morton safe?
The mages who had known about the various tragedies that had occurred in this area in the past all showed indescribable expressions, and some had begun to frown in dissatisfaction, thinking that Zong Qinyuan was planning to use this to intimidate them.
"We are here on behalf of the Magic Guild. Even if President Tina is injured and in a coma, you can't bully us like this... Miss Coco, why did you just go in like this!?"
A white-haired wizard stepped forward and was about to refute Zong Qinyuan in a righteous manner, but he stared at Coco with wide eyes as if she was joking and walked in with a swagger.
“Ding Di——”
A sharp alarm sounded, instantly stimulating the nerves of everyone present.
Except for Coco herself, she stuck out her tongue playfully, reached under her skirt somewhat embarrassedly in public, pulled out a dagger as big as her palm and placed it in the frame.
"I'm sorry, I forgot about it."
As she spoke, she stepped on one foot in a pointed black high-heeled leather boot, turned around on the spot, and then winked sweetly at the demon standing outside the city, stretched out her hand and threw a sweet kiss: "This is my dear Alpha's birthday gift to me. Thank you my baby, I love you the most~Mua!"
The demon's face turned dark on the spot.
A group of men who were watching the movement at the fortress gate through the surveillance screen saw this and were so angry that their teeth were about to break: "Alpha, you bastard, you usually only know how to chew chicken feet, but you actually have such a lovely fiancée, and she is a princess! How abominable!"
Although Coco's behavior when she acts coquettishly is a bit exaggerated, it is still better than having to deal with those stubborn and stubborn roommates every day and getting fed up with them!
Gu Liangyi couldn't help but sigh: "She is indeed a spoiled princess. She looks innocent and lively. Fortunately, the fake guy didn't do anything to her... Alpha, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like that?"
The black-haired young man noticed Alpha, who looked pale and shaky, from the corner of his eye, and didn't quite understand why he looked like this.
"I... I do have a fiancée, also named Coco," Alpha told him in a desperate tone, "but she likes girls and doesn't like me at all. She usually never comes to the Magic Guild to look for me!"
"What?"
Upon hearing the gossip, everyone around pricked up their ears.
Zhuge Xiao immediately asked the key question: "Since she doesn't like you, why did you get engaged?"
"Because," Alpha opened his mouth and said weakly, "She wants to be my teacher's thirty-seventh lover..."
“…………”
This time, even Yi Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Tsk tsk, your circle is too chaotic," Yan Beichen shook his head seriously, "Then if she likes your teacher, why did she come to Morton City with that fake this time, and act like she likes him so much?"
Hearing this, Alpha's whole face darkened: "Because she is not Coco at all! That dagger was a gift I gave to the teacher when she and her sixth lover had their wedding!"
After the words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.
Everyone slowly turned their heads and looked at the petite girl with a sweet smile in the surveillance video.
"Excuse me," Gu Liangyou popped up and asked calmly, "How old is your teacher this year?"
Alpha: "I don't know. I don't dare to ask, I'll die miserably. But judging from the records of the Magic Guild, he should be at least over two hundred years old."
"Cough cough! Cough cough cough..."
After Alpha finished saying this, a sound of choking coughs was heard in the monitoring hall of the Earth Command.
Lu Lang heard the female subordinate sitting in front of him on the left gasp and whisper to her colleagues. He could vaguely hear words like "What a heroine" and "A role model for our generation". He rubbed his temples and raised his voice to ask, "Report, have the people from the Magic Guild entered the city?"
"They're in, and they're all in the car." Fortunately, everyone knew that they couldn't be too casual during work hours, so someone immediately responded, "Minister Lu, do we need to start the next plan?"
Lu Lang nodded: "Of course, let Gu Liangyi prepare himself."
In order to verify the identity of this impostor, the command center planned to ensure Gu Liangyi's safety while getting him as close to the other party as possible to determine whether the other party is a follower of the devil, or the real devil.
Because they still don't know whether the representatives of two different civilizations will sense each other when they are too close. But after the last duel in the desert, according to Gu Liangyou, within a certain distance, he can vaguely feel the power of the demon god.
Apparently, the perception is mutual.
Therefore, in order to interfere with the Devil's perception, the command center came up with a special method -
“Bang! Bang! Bang!!”
The mages of the Magic Guild who were riding in a convertible SUV for the first time were curiously experiencing the comfortable feeling of the seats. They pressed the window button from time to time, stared at the transparent glass window that rose and fell, and discussed its principles.
Although the weather was not very good, everyone gradually relaxed as they listened to the gentle female voice introduction and light music accompaniment on the car radio.
But the peaceful mood did not last long. Suddenly, a dull explosion was heard in the distance. All the passengers in the car were startled. The demon god sitting in the back seat with Zong Qinyuan even had dark magic smoke appearing in his palms, and his expression was very ugly.
The driver glanced at him calmly through the rearview mirror, smiled and said soothingly: "Don't panic, everyone. This is part of our welcome ceremony at Mo Da. The sound just now was the sound of the anti-hail rocket being launched. The weather has been bad recently, and we are worried that it will rain, snow, and hail in the future, so we asked the Aerospace Department to make preparations in advance."
"What are anti-hail rockets?" Ke Ke, who was in the same car, asked politely. Of course, it could also be that she was simply curious. "And the Aerospace Department, what does that do?"
"A rocket is a navigation tool that flies at a very high altitude, and an anti-hail rocket is a rocket that sends special substances into the clouds and then changes the weather," Zong Qinyuan explained.
"Change the weather?" Coco covered her mouth in surprise. "This is something that gods can do, right? Can they do this?"
"Okay." Zong Qinyuan nodded affirmatively.
Coco opened her eyes wide and looked up at the sky in disbelief. Not long after the anti-hail rocket was launched, the dark clouds in the sky actually gradually dissipated. After a while, there was even some sunlight shining through the clouds onto the earth.
"It's really... It's like a miracle!"
Everyone couldn't help but show awe. Because in the eyes of the wizards, changing the weather was something that even the most powerful spells couldn't do, but why did this group of people who claimed to be from "Mo Da" describe this miracle in the most understated tone, as if it was just an ordinary thing?
The demon god sitting next to Zong Qinyuan didn't feel much about changing the weather. After all, this kind of thing was just a piece of cake for the technology of his home planet. What interested him more was the "rocket" mentioned by Zong Qinyuan. It sounded a bit like the space shuttle on his home planet?
"Does your aerospace department have anything else besides this anti-hail rocket?"
He looked out the window for a while and asked casually.
"There are many," Zong Qinyuan said proudly, "Our Moda is very strong in aerospace. We have both applications in daily life and spacecraft that can travel to the stars and the sea..."
"Ahem!" The driver suddenly coughed heavily, deliberately reminding him, "Um, Principal Zong, we're almost there, let the guests get ready first."
"Oh, yes, sorry, I forgot about it," Zong Qinyuan patted his head as if he had suddenly realized something, and said to them embarrassedly, "Next, we have specially prepared a fireworks show and a drone show for you. Although the effect is not as good during the day, I hope you don't mind it."
Coco said happily, "I love watching performances the most! Don't worry, I won't mind, right, dear?"
The demon's thoughts were still immersed in the "spaceship" that Zong Qinyuan mentioned. It took him a long time to react. He responded perfunctorily twice. Under Coco's dissatisfied gaze, he almost couldn't wait to ask: "Then where is your aerospace department? Can we go visit it?"
"Well," Zong Qinyuan was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, the research content of our aerospace department is our top secret, especially since we are conducting a very important experiment recently, so outsiders are definitely not allowed to visit."
The light in the demon's eyes faded, and he gradually regained his cold expression. As Zong Qinyuan apologized again and again, he smiled with a fake smile and said, "Forget it then."
Anyway, he had no intention of entering through normal channels.
"Yes, the fish has taken the bait." Zhuge Xiao looked at the Demon God's cold profile in the surveillance video, touched his chin and said, "But this is the first time I see such a serious expression on Alpha's face. It's the same appearance, but I feel like I don't recognize him at once."
Alpha glared at him, "What do you mean?"
Zhuge Xiao laughed twice: "Don't be angry, now that Gu Liang and Brother Yi are gone, I just happened to bring some snacks with me, we can eat while--"
Before he could finish his words, the sound of fireworks exploding could be heard simultaneously from the surveillance video and outside the tower.
In the car, the mages who had been notified in advance were mentally prepared this time. Although many of them were still shocked, at least they did not show inappropriate expressions like last time.
"Welcome guests from the Magic Guild!"
Brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky, with colorful smoke rising straight into the sky. There was even a row of people on the roadside holding long buckets and spraying colored ribbons into the cars.
"Wow, it's so beautiful, it's like magic!"
Coco looked up at the fireworks in the sky and said something that left everyone present speechless.
She seemed to enjoy the excitement. She stood up from her seat, leaned on the door and looked out. She also waved vigorously to the audience on the street: "Hello, everyone! My name is Coco, and I'm sixteen years old!"
The confused welcoming team on the street actually thought she was a sixteen-year-old girl. Only the group of people in the tower tried hard to suppress their twitching lips because of her shamelessness.
...really, so shameless.
"Keep them away!"
The demon god was not as easy to talk to as she was. He was covered with ribbons all over his head and face, and his identity was almost exposed. He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He glared at Zong Qinyuan fiercely and said murderously: "Do you want to die?"
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't know you didn't like this kind of welcome ceremony." Zong Qinyuan quickly stretched out his hand to brush off the ribbons on his body, but the demon slapped his hand away:
"Don't touch me!"
He was in an extremely upset mood, so he didn't notice that outside the crowd, at the exit of an alley where the car was speeding past, a man in a black robe and wearing a silver mask was standing there, quietly watching them go away.
"How is it?" Yi Yan, who was standing behind him, asked in a low voice.
Gu Liang nodded humorously.
"That's him," he raised his lips, his dark eyes flashing with a cold light, "Although there is still a sense of disobedience, I can't be wrong, that is the power of the demon god."
"A sense of disharmony?"
"Maybe he found a puppet or something. Anyway, it's not the real body, but it's almost the same." Gu Liangyou said absentmindedly, and suddenly came to his senses and glared at Yi Yan fiercely, "I told you not to talk to me, I don't want to pay attention to you!"
Yi Yan blinked and apologized skillfully: "I'm sorry, I was too fierce last time."
"It's none of my business." Gu Liangyou said coldly, "It just so happens that I don't want to talk to you either, so keep going."
After saying this, he angrily threw his black robe and strode away.
Yi Yan stood there for a few seconds and immediately followed his footsteps.
Unless there are other tasks, Gu Liang must not be allowed to act alone in Morton City. This is the order given to him by the headquarters. Yi Yan is sometimes quite grateful for this arrangement. At least even though Gu Liang doesn't like him, he can still follow the young man openly.
Gu Liangyou said impatiently: "He is really annoying. Can I ask the headquarters to replace him?"
"Who to change?" Gu Liangyi sighed, "Brother Yi is right to worry, don't be angry."
He could sense that You was not angry at Yi Yan's harsh tone, he was just simply being upset.
"Who's upset?" Gu Liangyou refused to admit it, "I'm just angry!"
"Okay, okay," Gu Liangyi replied helplessly, and simply changed his question to think about, "But if we can completely kill the demon this time, then according to the rules set by the light screen, humans will be the winner in this civilization showdown, right? You, what do you think will happen next?"
"……have no idea."
Gu Liangyou's excitement suddenly became a little quiet, and his hurried steps gradually slowed down: "The best result is of course that we return to Earth, but... this is unlikely."
Gu Liangyi also thought so.
"How many times do we have to cross over before we can get home?"
He murmured in a low voice.
No one in the world has yet been able to answer this question.
Although victory is within reach, both personalities feel a little confused about the future.
This emotion manifests itself in daily life by causing the main personality to be more taciturn than usual, while the secondary personality will fuss over trivial matters.
"The bared teeth were retracted in an instant. Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo, everyone must be safe. No matter how long it takes, we will wait for you to come back!"
"I really miss home. I'm studying in another city, and I couldn't stand it after only half a semester. My classmates abroad even cried for two or three hours every night saying they missed home. The key is that we are still on Earth. I can't imagine what the mental state of the students at the desert university is like. If it were me, I would definitely hide in my bed and cry every day."
"Before, you all said that Gu Liang is an orphan, so he must feel less lonely in school. But no matter how good the teachers and classmates are, some things cannot be replaced. I really want to give him a hug."
"Long live the Master! You are the hero of mankind, the light of the earth, and the lone fighter! We all support you wholeheartedly!!!"
"MD was just feeling sad. I laughed so hard that my nose was about to burst. By the way, what's up with this Demon God Savior Cult that's been hyped up so much lately? Sometimes I feel like they're being funny, but sometimes I feel like they really mean it."
"If Gu Liangyi returns to Earth and sees these people, he will probably just want to take a rocket to escape from Earth again overnight hhhh"
"I can really dig a Notre Dame de Paris out of my toes. I passed by XX Square and saw their rally that day. It was really... indescribable."
"But I think it's good. At least these simple words of love are much better than those comments on the Internet that make people's blood pressure rise every day. Anyway, I always think that the teachers and students of Guliang and Moda are amazing."
"Indeed. The training mission of the special forces team alone is not something that ordinary people can endure. Yi Yan also had a negative buff of the death row slave mark at the time. His willpower is probably not much different from that of a real special forces soldier."
"Is his father a policeman? I remember a foreign internet celebrity dug this out."
"He was a drug enforcement officer. Although I really felt that everything made sense after knowing this, I still have to say that the person who took this is completely unscrupulous!"
"Photo.jpg/Photo.jpg/Photo.jpg, I agree with the above comments, but look at the photo I took of Officer Fu's tombstone, it is now covered with flowers."
"That's great. I hope all the teachers and students of Mo University can come back and reunite with their families, and Yi Yan can also visit his father's grave and see this scene with his own eyes."
"It is what my heart desires, and I will never regret it even if I die nine times."
Hearing the low voice behind him, Gu Liangyou was stunned for a moment, then turned around and frowned: "Why, are you suddenly reciting this?"
"Nothing." Yi Yan looked at him, lowered his eyes and smiled, "I just suddenly thought of this sentence."
He suddenly stretched out his right hand wearing combat gloves and gently patted Gu Liangyou's head.
"Don't think too much," he looked away with a relaxed expression, as if he was just saying it casually, "No matter where you go, I will be with you."
Gu Liangyou then realized that Yi Yan had heard his monologue with the main personality.
"Who wants you to accompany me?" He looked away, staring stubbornly at the street in the distance, but his tone softened involuntarily.
"Then I'll follow you myself." Yi Yan said readily.
"…stalker."
"Um."
Gu Liangyou gritted his teeth, but he still couldn't match his thick skin. He turned around and said in a rough voice: "I'm going to the space station. Don't talk to me from now on."
"Okay. What's the deadline?"
"I told you not to talk to me! Forever!"
Amid the tittering of the main personality, the young man walked forward with big strides, his ears red.
"You, I..." Gu Liangyi was about to tease him when he was kicked out by the angry secondary personality.
Oh no, to be precise, the secondary personality didn't care about his life or death and hid back in the consciousness space.
The black-haired young man's pace suddenly slowed down, and he turned sideways to look at the bodyguard following behind him, as if he wanted to say something.
Yi Yan raised his head and looked at him. After judging something from Gu Liangyi's expression, a hint of obvious smile slowly emerged in his eyes. He pretended not to have heard what Gu Liangyou said before, raised his lips and asked, "What are we going to the space station for?"
"See if Academician Tang needs any help," Gu Liangyi pretended to be confused, although he was a little embarrassed. His eyes flickered slightly when he spoke to Yi Yan. "The headquarters only assigned us one task during the day. Although we completed it, I always feel that it is not a good idea to let an old man in his seventies handle the affairs there alone."
"Okay, then I'll call Zhuge and the others."
Yi Yan obviously would not let a group of gossiping idlers stay in the tower to eat chicken feet and snacks, so he took out the communicator without hesitation, ignored Zhuge Xiao's excuses, and said directly:
"I'll meet you at the spaceport in fifteen minutes."
Zhuge Xiao: “…………”
Damn it, at least let him finish this bag of chicken feet!
However, their space station is certainly different from the space stations on Earth. After all, even a construction fanatic cannot build a fully equipped rocket launch center in two days.
The science fiction film directors that Lu Lang went down to meet in person last time had put in a lot of effort in the construction of the space station.
The entire space station was transformed from the Colosseum that was originally built by the city lord in the city of Morton. Ninety-nine percent of the aircraft parked inside are models pulled in from film and television studios and special effects studios in various countries. Whether it is the shape, lighting effect or overall design, they are full of the high-tech feel of the future era, and each one is so real that it can be mistaken for the real thing.
"I've been involved in aerospace for so many years, and I've never seen such an outrageous design."
However, Academician Tang Jingming stood under the most magnificent and most expensive silver semi-circular spacecraft in the space station and couldn't help shaking his head: "Let's not talk about the fact that it is impossible to fly with its shape. Just the design of the cockpit alone, if it encounters an extraterrestrial meteorite impact, do you want to turn the astronauts inside into space junk?"
"I heard that this thing has appeared in a certain international science fiction blockbuster? Really, a movie with a box office of billions of dollars didn't even hire a professional physicist as a theoretical guide. There is no sincerity at all."
"But it's cool," Zhuge Xiao looked up at the cold light on the dashboard and the technological patterns on the side of the ship, with a psychedelic and intoxicated expression on his face, "If I can build a spaceship like this in my lifetime, it will be worth it even if I die."
"Don't worry, it won't happen in your next life!"
Academician Tang Jingming glared at him with his beard puffed out. "Are you from the Zhuge family? I've heard from your grandfather that you never studied hard and were always cunning. What was your grade on the homework I assigned to Tang Ban last time?"
“Ah, this…”
Zhuge Xiao immediately scratched his head and laughed dryly. Yan Beichen, who was passing by, snorted coldly and stuffed a wrench into his hand: "Hurry up and work for me, you are the only one with nothing to do now!"
This time Zhuge Xiao was more than happy to do so. He answered the call cheerfully while holding the wrench, and waved to Yi Yan and Gu Liangyi, "Brother Yi, Lao Si, let me help you tighten the screws!"
"This brat." Academician Tang looked at his back as he ran away faster than a rabbit. His tense face could no longer hold up and he smiled and shook his head.
"Actually, it's okay for you to say something nonsense just now," Gu Liangyi, who was working hard, heard their conversation and whispered to Zhuge Xiao, "Our homework is usually corrected by the teaching assistants."
Zhuge Xiao said with a bitter face: "I know, but isn't there a live broadcast? Have you forgotten that when the homework was just handed out, I howled in the dormitory all night?"
When Gu Liang thought of the big red crosses all over the book, he was hesitant to say anything.
"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me next time," he said, "but that won't happen until we return to Desert University. Right now, the mission is more important."
"That's what I thought."
Zhuge Xiao tightly gripped the wrench, gritted his teeth, and viciously twisted a screw 360 degrees: "This damn demon really knows how to pick a day to come. We are about to have the monthly exam!"
When he mentioned this, Gu Liangyi suddenly remembered: "Yes, it seems that after the final exam was cancelled, the monthly exam and the usual scores accounted for the largest proportion in the comprehensive test. Have you reviewed?"
"No. What about you?"
"Me neither." Gu Liangyi said honestly.
Zhuge Xiao just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yan Beichen pouring cold water on him: "Don't be like the fourth brother. He is the kind of guy who thinks that as long as you listen carefully in class, you don't need to review before the exam. Do you understand everything in class?"
Zhuge Xiao instantly showed an expression of being heartbroken.
"My GPA last semester was almost below 30% of my grade. The counselor even talked to me alone before, telling me not to focus too much on growing grass. But a good man has ambitions, so how can I give up my dream of becoming a great magician!"
He suddenly put down the wrench, clenched his fists, and his whole body seemed to be burning with tangible anger:
"I want to let him know that a college student who is about to fail the course is capable of anything. If I fail again this time, I will be so angry that I can slice the devil into boiled fish fillets!"
Gu Liangyi: “…………”
Yi Yan stretched out his hand without even looking up and patted him on the back of the head: "Stop talking nonsense and get to work."
Zhuge Xiao: “…嘤.”
