Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr These old monsters were deeply worried, unsure whether this Domain master was still in the military academy, preparing to wreak havoc again. What puzzled them even more was, why had the other come to the military academy to do something like this? Also, was the defence of the military academy really as foolproof as they had imagined? If so, where did this Domain level master come from?
They could not think of a reason, so one of them said, "Let's go back and discuss this with the principal!"
This suggestion was approved by everyone. Compared to them who did not know much about the situation in the military academy, the principal of the military academy was different. Perhaps he could give them an answer. Just like that, the few of them left quietly. No one at the scene knew that there were super strong masters who had come to investigate the scene.
The emergency rescue system of the military academy was very complete. It had not even been five minutes since the building collapsed when the first batch of rescue workers had already arrived at the scene to begin rescuing the students trapped in the rubble...
Right then, Ling Lan, who had already left the scene, was sitting on a hover car with Luo Lang, flying swiftly towards the location Little Four had set. The moment those old monsters had appeared, Ling Lan had just gotten into the hover car and left. If she had been a second late, she might have been caught by those old monsters. Even though Ling Lan was usually calm and collected, she could not help but break out in cold sweat at this moment.
Who would have thought that this seemingly unorganized military academy would actually have so many strong masters watching over it? Luckily, she had escaped quickly and Little Four had cooperated well — with just one mistake, she would have been caught like a turtle in a jar.
Of course, Ling Lan had been prepared for this from the very beginning. She knew that there would definitely be some super strong masters overseeing the inner workings of the military academy. Even the Central Scout Academy had a few Domain masters overseeing it, much less the First Men's Military Academy. Thus, Ling Lan had made preparations beforehand, choosing to quickly escape the scene at the first sound of explosion. Reality proved that her decision had been correct.
Having escaped disaster, Little Four also let out a huge sigh of relief. He patted his little chest in lingering fear and said, "Wow, Boss, that was too exciting! I didn't think that we would really be able to escape from under the nose of a Domain realm master. "
"It's all thanks to you, Little Four, for providing us with the most suitable escape route, and even transferring a hover car over in time." Ling Lan couldn't help but pat the hover car they were in, in awe of Little Four's powerful calculation ability.
If it weren't for Little Four's flawless cooperation and the cover of this hover car, she wouldn't have been able to escape from the other party's powerful search range even if she used all her strength to escape. This was because she would definitely leave behind her own energy waves along the way, and these would be the evidence that would expose her.
After being praised by Ling Lan, Little Four held his head and shook his butt happily. After calming down with great difficulty, he thought of the patrol officers who were knocked unconscious by his boss and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Boss, will there be any problems with the people you knocked unconscious?" It wasn't that Little Four was benevolent — as an intelligence entity, he didn't care whether the other party died or not. Little Four was just afraid that if something really happened, his boss would feel burdened.
"It's fine. I didn't destroy those support points. Even if the building collapses, those few rooms will be fine," replied Ling Lan calmly. Even if she destroyed the entire building in order to take revenge on Tianji, she would not let these unimportant people die because of it. She was a person who drew a clear line between gratitude and grudges.
"Boss, you're really amazing. You've actually thought of everything so thoroughly." Little Four decisively began to flatter Ling Lan. His fawning look made Ling Lan's mood extremely good. It should be said that when Ling Lan had successfully destroyed Tianji's headquarters, her mood had become infinitely better.
Meanwhile, those super experts overseeing the military academy had conversed with the principal for a while, but they still did not get the answer they wanted. Very soon, another piece of news came. According to the members of the Tianji Mecha Clan's surveillance team who had been rescued, before the building collapsed, their Tianji headquarters had been attacked by a hacker suspected to be an imperial level.
As more and more people were rescued, a number of clan members whose brains had been destroyed under the rubble were also discovered. Among them, one of the severely injured members of the hacker specialization had been reduced to a vegetative state, judged by the Military Medical Research Centre to never be able to wake up again.
The appearance of these people made them speculate again — in this incident, was there another terrifying spectre who had made a move at the same time? Three people who were outstanding in their respective fields appearing together in the military academy — this possibility made these people shudder involuntarily.
Just where did these people come from? With their abilities, they should be able to deal with the military academy's mainframe, so why would they make a move against a small faction within the military academy?
For a time, all sorts of conspiracy theories were floated in the air among the upper echelons of the military academy. Some people even suspected that the other military academies were involved. They guessed that the other military academies had purposely created this chaos in order to deal a blow to their military academy's results in this major assessment, attempting to make the students panic and lose interest in preparing for the assessment. This would thus affect the final assessment results and cause the Top Military Academy to lose the dominant position it had always maintained...
This guess was approved by many of the upper echelons to a certain extent, which also diverted the direction of their investigation thousands of miles away, indirectly helping Ling Lan.
Of course, the upper echelons of the military headquarters also speculated on various other possibilities, but no one thought of the students.
In truth, no one would raise this possibility, because anyone who did would be laughed at by others. Please, what did you think Domain masters were? What was an imperial hacker? How could a military academy student become such a terrifying existence? If that was really possible, would there still be a need to come to the military academy to study? They would have long been recruited by the various major armies...
As for spectre abilities? It was even more unimaginable. Mind you, this kind of terrifying ability user was already a secret weapon of the Federation military from the moment he was born. How could he possibly hide among the students of the military academy?
It had to be said that the upper echelons of the military academy were taking things for granted. Sometimes, the truth was often those absurd and impossible existences...
In order to quell the collapse of the building this time and to prevent the students from panicking and preparing for the assessment, the upper echelons of the military academy suppressed this matter. They also gave an explanation to those members of the Tianji Mecha Clan who had reported that they had been attacked by an imperial hacker. They said that after investigation, it was found that the academy's mainframe had malfunctioned at the last minute, thus leading to this series of misunderstandings.
As for the collapse of the Tianji building, they also used the excuse that it had been in disrepair for a long time. Although this building had only been constructed for a hundred years or so, it should be known that a qualified building nowadays would need to be at least 500 years old. This excuse was obviously saying that this building was a shoddy construction?
Whether the students believed it or not, whether they complained or not, the military academy had given such an answer, and the collapse of the Tianji building was thus quelled.
However, the Tianji Mecha Clan's reputation also fell greatly because of this incident. For a very long time, the clan did not recover. Meanwhile, the third ranked Wuji Mecha Clan and the fourth ranked Dwotong Central Mecha Clan took advantage of the situation to propose a mecha clan gambling match to the Tianji Mecha Clan to fight for a seat... the Tianji Mecha Clan, short on manpower and low on morale, were defeated in these two matches, dropping from the second faction to the fourth, becoming one of the laughingstocks of the military academy for a time.
Under these circumstances, the regiment commander of the Tianji Mecha Clan could only swallow this humiliation in frustration... sadly, he did not know that the main culprit behind Tianji's current predicament was Ling Lan of the New Cadet Regiment. If he had known, he would definitely have done everything in his power to take revenge.
It should be said that Ling Lan's operation this time had been executed perfectly. She had eliminated every single one of those who had participated in Luo Lang's kidnapping, making it so that the Tianji Mecha Clan had no idea that the source of the disaster was Luo Lang. She had perfectly pulled Luo Lang out of this incident.
The reason Ling Lan had schemed so hard was to protect Luo Lang. Even if Luo Lang had not suffered any actual harm, she still did not wish for her beloved younger brother to be gossiped about by others in the academy because of this incident, causing Luo Lang's spirit to bear this unnecessary burden.
Reality proved that Ling Lan's worries were real. Shi Mingyi's innate talent had been destroyed by Ling Lan, and the initially bewitched subordinates of Shi Mingyi all came to their senses. Thinking of their past actions, they were abnormally remorseful, and their hatred for Shi Mingyi grew. If they had all been calm people with strong tolerance, perhaps this incident would not have been exposed. However, there was one student with an extremely fragile mind among them — he could not bear this kind of humiliation, believing that his life had been ruined.
That night, he took a military knife he had made himself, and while the staff of the treatment centre were unprepared, he dragged Shi Mingyi out of the treatment pod, swiftly hacked him to death, and then committed suicide. By the time the staff found out, it was already too late.
This incident caused an uproar in the academy. Later, the academy's monitoring team went to that student's dormitory and found the suicide note he had left behind, and only then did they know the truth of the matter. For this reason, the mentors of the academy's research on mental mutation had specially researched Shi Mingyi's mental mutation ability, and discovered that Shi Mingyi had the ability to hypnotize.
Only then did everyone understand Shi Mingyi's despicable and shameless side. It was also because of this incident that the reputation of the Tianji Mecha Clan fell once more. Many clan members expressed that they could not accept the fact that there were so many vice regiment commanders, and so they all left the mecha clan, causing the Tianji Mecha Clan to be unable to recover from this setback.
Of course, there were repercussions from this incident as well. Those handsome students who had originally been Shi Mingyi's subordinates were all labelled as broken-backs, causing them to be subjected to all sorts of strange gazes in the military academy. Other than one student with great tolerance who eventually graduated successfully, the others all dropped out of the academy due to various reasons. It could be said that these geniuses with excellent futures had their futures ruined because of Shi Mingyi …
Meanwhile, due to Ling Lan's careful planning, Luo Lang was not implicated in this incident at all. This made the sober Luo Lang extremely grateful. Having received so many great favours from Ling Lan, he swore silently that he would live for Boss Lan's sake in the future!
Of course, all this had happened after Luo Lang had regained consciousness. And now, Ling Lan's good mood from destroying the Tianji Building came to a screeching halt. This was because she found that Luo Lang's condition in the backseat of the hover car was getting worse and worse.
