Chapter 228: The Flame Giant and the Son of the Night Goddess
When they saw the name "Anson Deer" appear during the selection process, the three of them were a little bit incredulous.
Especially Maruyama Jun, he just saw the news from Tokyo on TV not long ago, Anson Lu captured five sequence players by himself.
Pushing the timeline forward a little further, the former chess player went berserk in Moscow. He and Lorenzo had a fight and directly tore off Lorenzo's right arm, causing him to fall from the top player to a world wanted criminal who was condemned and despised by everyone overnight.
Despite this, Maruyama Jun still firmly believed that even if the Moscow incident was true, Anson Lu was only out of control for a short period of time, and he would never be unforgivable as public opinion said.
After all, he actually spent a week with Anson Deer, and that was the first time he saw such a kind and friendly sequence player.
"Maruyama, isn't Brother Lu a wanted criminal now?" Iwata Minoru muttered, interrupting Maruyama Jun's thoughts.
Maruyama Jun bumped his shoulder and said unhappily:
"Stupid, didn't Uncle Mingdao discuss this with us? He said that there was something fishy about the Moscow incident, and that the relationship between Brother Lu and the Pope was not that simple. It was not Brother Lu who lost control at the time, but the Pope."
"Yes, I also don't believe that this kid will lose control." Adel moved his eyes and looked at Anson Deer who was leisurely and contented.
Seeing that he couldn't leave his seat and nothing happened for the time being, Anson Lu started playing games on his mobile phone. The same went for Yuri and Asuka Uesugi beside him.
Urushihara Ritsu was flipping through the Bible he carried with him.
Chu Qimo held the sword bag with his eyes closed and concentrated, his sitting posture was very dignified, and he really looked like a good student in the classroom.
Yuliu rested his elbow on the table, supported his chin with his left hand, and stared at the blackboard with his dark green eyes. On the blackboard was written a line of large words in white chalk - Please wait patiently for the teacher to arrive.
"Tsk, this is such a joke." He frowned slightly.
"Don't be too impatient. Let's take a look at what this copy is about first." Anson Deer was playing Minesweeper with his eyes fixed on it.
Maruyama Jun swallowed a mouthful of water. Even though there was Xiong Haodong between them, Yuliu still gave him a strong sense of oppression.
Adel had seen all kinds of people, and he only needed to take one look to know that this was definitely not an aura that could be cultivated by someone living in an ordinary environment.
There was a kind of cold and arrogant majesty between Yuliu's brows, and his dark green eyes added a sense of mystery to him. This was the temperament of a person in power.
Adel spoke in a voice that only Maruyama and Iwata could hear, "I heard that people on the Internet call this guy the 'watchdog of the lighthouse of hell'."
"The...guard dog of the Hell Lighthouse." Maruyama Jun was stunned. He thought to himself, who would dare to say this title in front of Julius? If someone really did that, wouldn't he be chopped to pieces by this tough guy?
"Yes, first of all, he is a member of the American underground party." Adel explained: "Secondly, he works for Anson Deer, so he got this name."
"This guard dog is really cruel. It looks like it's not easy to mess with." Minoru Iwata muttered in a low voice.
At this time, Yuliu, with his chin supported by his hand, moved his gaze over, and his dark green eyes met the gazes of Maruyama Jun and Iwata Minoru.
"We can discuss this a little louder," he said coldly.
"No, no."
Maruyama and Iwata's shoulders trembled, and they immediately looked away with a wry smile.
"Is this the person from Hell Lighthouse?" Maruyama Jun broke out in a cold sweat.
"Lu Ge is still easier to get along with." Iwata Minoru sighed.
"There are two people we know. We met them in the Hokkaido copy." Adel was still observing the people in the Hell Lighthouse with his peripheral vision. This was one of the few opportunities for them to come into contact with the world's most powerful people.
"That Icelandic girl is still as pretty as ever, and so is that weird gambler." Minoru Iwata whispered.
Anson Deer noticed that he was staring at Yuri, and he breathed a sigh of relief, raising his right arm to support his head, directly blocking Iwata's view.
Yuri gently turned his eyes and looked at Anson Deer's profile.
"What's wrong?" Anson Lu didn't turn his head.
"It's okay." Yuri continued reading, her snow-white hair covering the side of her face.
Iwata Minoru watched the two people talking quietly. Anson Lu's raised arm prevented him from seeing Yuri clearly. Although he had an intellectual disability, he understood something belatedly and quickly looked away.
"Be careful of that gambler. He played us around last time." Adel smiled.
"Actually, there are more than three. We know one of the players." Maruyama Jun glanced at Asuka.
Asuka Uesugi glared at him and didn't look back.
"I remember that we and others didn't encounter this in the previous copy?" Adel asked.
"No, Uncle Adel, we were classmates with that Uesugi Asuka." Maruyama Jun said, "Besides, I can understand some things now. At that time, someone in the class spread a rumor that Asuka had turned into a dragon."
"Turn into a dragon?" Adel's face changed.
"Yes, although it sounds ridiculous." Maruyama Jun whispered, "But at that time, in order to avoid being bullied, Iwata and I chose to isolate Asuka with others, and then she transferred to another school."
"Now it seems that the rumors in your school at that time were not false." Adel murmured.
"Yeah, Maruyama..." Iwata Minoru realized it belatedly, "Uesugi Asuka's sequence is 'Scarlet Dragon Wings', is it related to the rumors about her in school?!"
"She was." Maruyama Jun put his hand on his chin, "I don't know how, but she may have had the ability to turn into a dragon before the evolution game started..."
"This is really bizarre." Adel sighed, "However, since the evolution game has appeared, it's not surprising that there are supernatural phenomena. Don't make blind guesses here."
Iwata Minoru asked, "Speaking of which, Uncle De, we are together with Brother Lu. Will the officials see us after we go out and review the video, and then call us in for tea?"
"That can't be helped." Adel said slowly, "But this round of dungeons is so weird, we don't even know where we are, and we may not be seen by the local citizens."
While the three were discussing, Xiong Haodong suddenly turned around and said in a low voice: "Brothers, please take care of me when we enter the dungeon later. After all, we have met once before."
"Okay, okay." Maruyama Jun said perfunctorily, thinking that it would be good enough if you guys didn't slap me twice, but you are still asking for more.
He knew very well how shameful it was for someone to conceal his level to trick others into joining a team, to watch from the sidelines during battles, to use all kinds of excuses not to participate in the fights, and to only think about gaining experience.
Xiong Haodong is such a person, and he is so thick-skinned that he dares to say hello to them after doing such a thing.
If Xiong Haodong hadn't often said, "Anson Lu and I are classmates, we're from the same hometown, we're very familiar with each other!", Maruyama Jun might have stuffed two fireballs into his mouth right now to see if he would still go crazy.
But there was no way, Maruyama Jun still had to give face to Anson Lu.
At this moment, Xiong Haodong saw that Maruyama and Iwata were Japanese, and he even said something like "空伱吉哇, 哦烈哇日本伽戴斯ki" in broken Japanese, which translated to: "Hello, I love Japan the most!"
Anson Lu just took a sip of the Coke he took out of his bag and was choked and almost vomited it on the spot.
"Cough... cough... cough cough." He patted his chest and shouted in shock, thinking, "Fuck, Dong Ge, what kind of traitor are you? Didn't you boycott Japanese anime in the classroom before? You change your face like turning the pages of a book."
Uesugi Asuka originally wanted to hold it in, but seeing Anson Lu's reaction, she couldn't help but pound the table and chuckle, "Damn, I haven't seen him for a few rounds of dungeons, why is he still so funny?"
"This is what the Dark Stoneman looks like. It's a legendary chess piece. Don't be surprised."
"If you really draw this chess piece, wouldn't you treasure it like a treasure?"
"That's right. A person of this caliber could have produced such a top-notch person. He is worthy of being included in the Shangshi Museum. I'll call the curator and reserve a spot for Brother Dong."
"Hahaha, I really want to ask him how long he swam in the Atlantic Ocean."
"It shouldn't be long. Maybe it was eaten by sharks, or maybe it was picked up and chopped up by pirates."
The two men's discussion was undisguised, and Xiong Haodong was terrified when he heard it. He wondered what the "Dark Stone Man" was. Would this evil guy Anson Lu want to sacrifice him to create some powerful chess game?
Thinking of this, Xiong Haodong felt a chill in his heart, and cold sweat flowed down his face like a rolling Yangtze River.
Yuri was sandwiched between Anson Lu and Asuka, with his slender hand on his chin, and there was some confusion in his clear eyes, as if he didn't understand what they were talking about.
I wanted to interrupt the conversation, but I couldn't because I didn't know Xiong Haodong.
"Be careful with that guy. Don't say a word to him, even if he tries to get close to you." Anson Deer leaned close to Yuri and whispered in her ear.
"Okay, I understand." Yuri flipped the pages of the book and glanced at Xiong Haodong out of the corner of his eye.
Dong Ge felt the malicious gazes of the two people, and his shoulders and legs trembled even more violently. He was afraid that the two people were already planning some dark ritual - could it be that Anson Lu really wanted to capture him to create the "Dark Stone Man" chess game.
He gritted his teeth and thought that Anson Lu was crazy enough for doing such cruel things in Moscow. Has he now become a madman with no bottom line?
Xiong Haodong is a person with a broad perspective. He understands that when facing such a desperate situation, he must not allow himself to be passive, but must take the initiative and rely on his courage and wisdom to break the status quo and seize that glimmer of hope.
So he mustered up the courage to turn around, but Yuliu just raised his eyebrows, which frightened him so much that his legs trembled again.
Can't retreat!
We can't back down at this time!
Otherwise, you will be dragged away by that perverted murderer and used as a pawn!
Xiong Haodong took a deep breath and said in a steady tone: "Student Ansenlu, long time no see."
Upon hearing this, Maruyama Jun and Iwata Minoru were both shocked. They originally thought that Xiong Haodong was bragging, but they didn't expect that he and Anson Lu were actually classmates?
Wait, why does his voice suddenly sound so familiar? Maruyama Jun thought.
He suddenly remembered that in the video of "Old Chess Player Sequence Test" that was popular on the Internet, there was such a character - he was lying on the window, with a hideous face, roaring for love.
"Damn, it's that clown——!" Maruyama Jun reacted. He thought to himself, how dare you say you are Anson Lu classmate? It's already a mercy for Anson Lu not to kick you into the pit.
"Brother Dong, it's been a long time since we last met. How are you doing in Shangshi?" Anson Lu raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Xiong Haodong would dare to talk to him.
"I'm doing fine, no big problems." Xiong Haodong said slowly, with a look of vicissitudes in his eyes and tone.
"Haha, it's Kamishi Hikari after all." Asuka Uesugi was laughing again.
"That's good. I'm overseas and I'm worried about you, Brother Dong, every day." Anson Lu shrugged.
He did not directly tell Xiong Haodong that he was in Norway because although Norway is not a small place, there are only a few sparsely populated towns. The law enforcement team only needs to screen the uninhabited towns and they can find Liukan Town in no time.
Dong Ge is a guy who is capable of doing anything that would backstab him, and Anson Lu knows this very well.
Chu Qimo, who had closed his eyes to rest, suddenly woke up and thought to himself, "President, someone of your status actually calls himself a younger brother in front of others. It seems that this Xiong Haodong is really something..."
Urushihara Ritsu was flipping through the Bible, and Yuliu was tapping the table with his fingers. Both of them seemed to be not very interested in Xiong Haodong, and they both knew that with Anson Lu's personality, he was up to something by saying such things.
"What about you? How are you now?" Xiong Haodong breathed a sigh of relief and asked again.
"I must be having a hard time." Anson Lu held up his chin and raised the corners of his mouth. "Haven't you seen that my buddy has been on TV a lot recently? He's been attacked every day on the Internet. Hey, he's almost depressed from being scolded."
"……depression?"
Yuri looked up from the book and tilted his head slightly, his snow-white hair swaying gently.
She stared at Anson Deer, her focused eyes seeming to say - I haven't heard what you said.
"Hey, hey, hey, it was just a joke, why did you take it seriously?" Anson Lu whispered to her.
"I care about you."
The three words from the Icelandic girl were cold, but Anson Deer found them somewhat cute, thinking that she also had such a straightforward side.
"Should I say thank you then?"
"Reading."
Xiong Haodong thought it over again and again, and gave a strong smile, a smile that was generous and reliable, "It's okay, classmate Lu, I know you will never do those things."
"Thank you for your trust, Brother Dong. I have turned from evil to good and will join the law enforcement team in the future." Anson Lu stretched and said sincerely.
"Law enforcement team?"
The four people including Adel, Maruyama Jun, Iwata Minoru and Xiong Haodong were all shocked at this moment. They thought to themselves, buddy, you just tore off one of Lorenzo's hand some time ago, and now you want to join the law enforcement team?
It’s like a person who dropped out of school to work one second and was admitted to Tsinghua University and got a doctorate degree the next second.
This world is really too magical... The closer he gets to Anson Lu, the more Maruyama Jun can't help but think that Anson Lu is simply an existence that can subvert his cognition.
Fortunately, just when the four of them were about to doubt their lives, a figure slowly walked in from outside the classroom. It was a boy wearing a black tuxedo and holding a large black book in his hand.
The boy has a pair of deep gray eyes and delicate three-dimensional facial features. He looks like a mixed-race of European and Chinese. His black curly hair is both elegant and lazy.
The ten players in the classroom immediately turned their attention to the uninvited guest - if it was as expected, this was the "teacher" arranged by the copy.
"It looks like the students have all arrived."
The boy in the tuxedo put the book on the podium, a playful smile appeared on his face, and he spoke slowly.
"Well then... let's take a look at today's lessons. First, we will learn about the fire giant in Norse mythology - Surtur, and the son of the goddess of night - Day, as well as the mythological sequence that will be assigned to you."
"I will grade each of you based on your performance in class. Please speak carefully in class and play a role that satisfies me in the subsequent field trips."
