"By the way … if you really want to do it, why do you still need to bring students?"
"Social practice," Andrea said.
"There is still a lot of maintenance work to be done locally. When the time comes, let them help out and move around the periphery to gain experience.
The teaching and research room has assessed the danger level as an extra-curricular internship. As long as you pay attention to your safety and follow the instructions of the teacher, there won't be any accidents. "
"Internship?"
Huai Shi was amused.
The internship in the Ivory Tower was a bit too hardcore.
Andrea shrugged and said calmly, "In the Ivory Tower, this is called an internship. A little lower is called an excursion. A few teaching assistants are enough. The teachers don't need to participate.
Don't worry, don't be too stressed. The Ivory Tower has not declined to the extent that it needs a new teacher to turn the tide. This is at best an inspection. It's convenient for you to accumulate more experience. "
Maybe.
Huai Shi sighed.
Anyway, he did not have any expectations for Russell's integrity.
As a veteran of vehicle explosions, even if someone told him that there was a destructive element in the car, he would not react, let alone be attacked.
His only expectation for this car was that it could send him to his destination in one piece, or even not in one piece.
Before leaving the box, Huai Shi could not help but be curious and asked one last time, "Speaking of which … what was the level of the Astral in the teaching and research room last time?"
"The part I participated in?"
"Yes." Huai Shi nodded.
"Doctoral graduation thesis defense, no big deal."
Andrea calmly put on an eye mask for herself. She did not say whether she was the one who defended the thesis or the one who reviewed the thesis defense. Lying on the bed, she fell into a deep sleep.
She was relieved to leave the safety of the entire car to Huai Shi.
This gave Huai Shi a headache.
.
.
In the following time, Huai Shi first went to the front of the car to say hello to Raymond, then turned back and walked around the car to patrol.
Most of the students had fallen asleep in their seats. Some of them were still awake, reading books or playing cards in silence.
Lin Shijiu didn't mingle with his new friends. Instead, he was lying in the corner next to Yuan Yuan. He was sleeping soundly in his sleeping bag with snot bubbles coming out of his nose.
As a veteran sufferer of persecutory delusions and persecutory delusions, he knew the safest place in the car.
Hearing someone walk in, the girl who was resting with her eyes closed looked up. Huai Shi waved his hand, indicating for them to continue resting. After making sure that they were keeping the Cage of Dreams by their side, he left.
The latter half of the night was very quiet.
Nothing happened.
When passing by Huocheng-Fire City, he also got out of the car and went to the platform to get some air.
There was a lingering smell of sulfur in the slightly hot air. This place was very much in line with the description of hell in traditional stories. At the border of the Middle East, the periodic eruptions of abyssal precipitates spread across the land in the form of flames. The city was built on lava and mountain peaks in the form of steel frames, sultry all year round.
As one of the few large borders closest to hell, it had a rather gloomy atmosphere.
In the station, the platform was empty.
Only a well-dressed middle-aged man came up to talk: "Is it convenient for you to borrow a light, friend?"
Huai Shi rubbed a lighter from his pocket and handed it over.
The middle-aged man was quite grateful and returned it after using it.
After the two men chatted casually for a while, Huai Shi saw that Raymond had finished negotiating with the station, so he politely said goodbye and went back to the car.
.
The middle-aged man with some gray hair stood in place, smoking silently.
Just with his back to Huai Shi's face, his eyebrows were slightly raised.
After feeling that the beacon he left on the lighter disappeared, he chuckled softly. He didn't expect that the people in the Ivory Tower were so cautious.
Or were they on guard against him from the beginning?
Obviously, they looked very easy to talk to …
After he walked down the steps of the platform, a young man came forward: "Mr. Quinn, I saw it clearly when I unloaded the goods. It was indeed the car of the Ivory Tower."
Quinn nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Tell the doctor and the colonel for me that I want to go to the scene to test it."
The young man was stunned and looked strange.
"What's the matter?" Quinn asked.
"Well, this … The doctor also asked me to tell you."
The young man paused and said seriously, "It's okay to try."
Quinn was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
.
Since leaving Huocheng-Fire City, Huai Shi's mood has been a little uneasy.
After returning to the carriage, he sat in the middle of the carriage and meditated, tapping the spine of the Sword of Virtue with his hand. Something always brought him a sense of uneasiness.
He began to recall.
When he recalled the middle-aged man he met on the platform, he couldn't help frowning.
Now that he thought about it, although he didn't feel malice or killing intent, the man gave Huai Shi a very strange feeling – he looked serious, but inexplicably felt that it was a disguise.
Something even more unique was stirring under his smile, almost overflowing.
Before entering hell, Huai Shi didn't think it would be an accident to meet such a person.
But most of the ascendants were a little weird.
So he wasn't sure.
After thinking about it, he got up and went to wake Andrea up.
If it was Huai Shi's illusion, then she just slept a few hours less. If he guessed right, then she would have more protection when she was in danger.
After listening to Huai Shi's analysis, although Andrea felt that it didn't seem necessary, she woke up and didn't sleep.
After washing her face, she stayed with Huai Shi from four o 'clock in the morning until nine o' clock in the morning.
Still nothing happened.
Andrea was not angry or dissatisfied, but Huai Shi was getting more and more embarrassed.
Just as he was about to persuade Andrea to continue sleeping, the female professor stopped flipping through the book and raised her head.
"You're right."
She shook her head and sighed softly, "Something is coming."
As soon as her voice fell, a dense sound of breaking came from the roof of the carriage.
It was like water droplets hitting the iron roof of the carriage.
Is it raining?
Huai Shi and Andrea frowned at the same time.
They hadn't left the Middle East to go into hell. In the eternal sea of fire in the Middle East, not to mention rain, even sewage was a resource that could be used as currency.
How could they be so extravagant as to turn it into rain and fall from the sky?
Soon, the breaking and breaking sound became clearer and clearer, as if there were countless limbs hitting the roof of the carriage, forming a flood that quickly spread over the carriage.
Then, with thin threads hanging from the roof, it suddenly smashed on the window, casting a palm-sized shadow in the fire outside the window.
It was a spider.
A confused student screamed, and his face quickly turned pale.
Those palm-sized spiders crawled nimbly on the car windows, dragging their huge abdominal sacs. The colorful spiders did not appeal to people's liking, only ugliness and disgust.
Now, with the rapid increase in the number of spiders, this fear began to grow rapidly.
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands … The entire train was quickly covered by colorful spiders, trying to invade every opening.
Countless scarlet compound eyes opened, staring at the vigilant faces through the window.
Suddenly, they spat out venom.
— — Chi!!!!
That wasn't the sound of the window being corroded by venom, but the sizzling sound of dead pork being thrown into a blazing furnace!
The flames were tangible.
But when the temperature soared to hundreds of degrees in an instant, heating up into a febrile wind that could burn all flesh and blood, it was still invisible and formless.
Andrea quickly wrote a line of formula in the air, and the fire at her fingertips flickered and extinguished.
After the invisible law broke free from her control, it began to expand and spread out in all directions.
Substituting volume and space, specifying the vector and scale, and then entering the source … Finally, the result was obtained.
Combining thermodynamics and aerodynamics, using the Red Dragon's blood to extract the heat of countless magma under the tracks, a terrifying burning current instantly enveloped the entire train.
But through the window, the temperature inside the carriage didn't change at all. Even the air conditioner was still working normally, giving people the illusion that everything outside the window was like an illusion.
The distorted air shrouded the train, and in the blink of an eye, the high-temperature burning current turned countless squirming spiders into ashes.
The train quickly collapsed.
Before they were burned to ashes, they were broken into pieces of paper, which quickly turned yellow and finally turned into pitch-black ashes.
At this moment, there seemed to be an invisible flame covering the entire train. It formed an invisible barrier. Everything that dared to enter within three meters of the train would be brutally burned into black ashes in an instant.
Even steel and rocks were the same.
"… Is it Andrea?"
On the roof of the train, a squatting figure whispered softly, "The heresy of the thermodynamics classroom, the Great Red Dragon? Hey, is the Ivory Tower in such a hurry? "
Ryan was wearing an unusually conspicuous raincoat with countless small mirrors attached to it, making him look shiny. But under the raincoat, the unusually high temperature couldn't penetrate it.
He didn't lose a single strand of hair.
The Sandbar Veil.
A relic found in an eternally hot hell. It couldn't resist any rain, but it was good against the high temperature.
At this moment, colorful pieces of paper were constantly being folded in his hand. The pieces of paper fell from his fingertips like rainwater and landed in his arms. They quickly wriggled and formed thumb-sized spiders that quickly crawled under the raincoat.
Under the illumination of the fire, his figure suddenly became illusory and disappeared.
At the same time, the alarm in the train sounded.
"Intruder has entered the train."
Raymond's voice came from the walkie-talkie, "The warehouse has been sealed, don't worry — I'll leave the rest to you."
At the same time, a dense rustling sound had been heard from the air conditioner pipes. Like a torrent, it spread through all the gaps in the cabin.
Under the invisible raincoat, Ryan smiled happily and waved his hand in the dark.
Thousands of spiders made sharp hissing sounds, and sharp thorns drilled out of the air conditioner. They dragged their fat abdominal sacs and couldn't wait to pounce on the food below.
It was time for Taotie!
Then, they saw pairs of eyes that were as red as their own.
They had been waiting for a long time.
"Caw —"
In the brief silence, on the luggage rack in the train, countless fog-like Crows flapped their wings excitedly, unable to hide their excitement.
Yes, the time for Taotie … had come.
