"If you really want to trace it back, the genetic template of this embryo was stolen from my college.
Do you need me to play the video of you deep-sea people kneeling in the laboratory begging for gene seeds 200,000 years ago?"
The entire sky suddenly fell into a strange stillness.
The Lingfengzi flower began to grow in reverse, weaving the black clouds into a huge cage.
In a dimension beyond human perception, two beings are engaging in a more deadly confrontation using mathematical laws. The bricks and stones of the academy's exterior walls are showing non-Euclidean geometric patterns, and the dewdrops on the lawn are all suspended in dodecahedral structures.
Bai Di suddenly discovered that his tactical tablet was displaying a countdown: 00:00:07.
When the number returned to zero, all the equipment brought back from the pyramid emitted blue light at the same time, piecing together the complete Article 7 of the Abyss Convention above the base - the original text of the ban on using humans for inter-dimensional biological experiments.
For the first time, cracks appeared on the priest's scepter.
Blore subconsciously turned his head to look at Ma Tuan.
Ma Tuan was stunned at first, and then his shoulders under the mask suddenly shook.
He seemed to have suddenly figured out some ridiculous joke, and even his voice trembled with a bit of absurdity: "Ha...hahahaha...what am I afraid of?"
His laughter was like a key that instantly unlocked some invisible shackles.
Blore was shocked to realize that the entire Selsburn base was eerily quiet - not dead silence, but a kind of silence that was ready to explode.
There were no alarms, no hurried footsteps, and even the sound of the most basic defense system operating could not be heard.
Outside the explosion-proof windows in the corridor, several seniors in pajamas were looking up at the sky with their coffee in hand;
The rustling sound of turning pages came from the direction of the library; on the training ground in the distance, an instructor was slowly correcting the students' sword-holding posture.
The students who were supposed to be resting in the dormitory were now gathered in the square in groups of three or four, and some even brought astronomical telescopes.
"Because of the outbreak of disease at the academy..."
Ma Tuan took off his mask, revealing a slightly pale face—but the pale color was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"All outbound missions have been suspended."
He pointed to the distant clock tower, and Blore noticed that seven blue lights had suddenly lit up beneath the clock face. "See? 'Seven Towers Alert'! All instructors and seniors are now at the academy."
As if to confirm his words, tiny dots of light suddenly lit up all over the academy.
Under the glass dome of the laboratory building, professors from the Department of Biology are debugging some kind of giant culture chamber;
On the spire of the old castle, several old men in vintage robes held brass astrolabes;
Even the strange smell of spices wafted from the direction of the cafeteria - that was the incense prepared by the pharmacy instructor to resist mental pollution.
"That group..."
Nansong suddenly stopped. The tactical terminal on her wrist was automatically receiving encrypted communications from various locations.
"The Medical Department is counting the number of people infected by Sakura-X, the Equipment Department is inspecting all items brought back from the pyramid, and the Tactical Analysis Department has deduced seventeen counterattack scenarios..."
Her voice grew brighter.
"They've been preparing for this for a long time!"
As if to confirm this, the confrontation in the sky suddenly underwent subtle changes.
Twelve shadows appeared behind the dean at some point—they were the spirits of the retired guardian heroes of the academy.
The scepter of the sacrifice was becoming ethereal at a rate of 3% per second, and the inlaid eyeballs exploded one after another, but what splashed out was not liquid, but some kind of black memory metal that was rapidly oxidizing.
"Do you understand?"
"The other party doesn't dare to really take action."
He pointed at the figure in the clouds that was beginning to distort.
"I deliberately chose to come when the academy is most crowded because—"
A clear and melodious phoenix cry suddenly resounded through the sky.
The ancient book storage room on the top floor of the library suddenly opened, and thousands of automatically flipping books flew out.
Those pages formed a huge three-dimensional magic circle in the air, and each page showed the records of the seals imposed on the deep-sea people by different civilizations.
"—Because only when all members are present can the academy's 3,600 defensive restrictions be fully activated."
A somewhat frivolous voice came from behind.
Blore turned around and saw Cyclamen leaning against the door frame, chewing an apple.
"By the way, the 'virus' that group brought back..."
He smiled and spat out a few glowing kernels.
"It was converted into a vaccine last night."
The roar of gears meshing could be heard from underground in the base, and everyone felt a tremor beneath their feet - that was the sound of the "God-killing-level" anti-world weapon that had been sealed for three hundred years being released from its safety lock.
