When Sheyan returned to the lounge, Intecas had already fallen into a deep sleep. She was exhausted. Although it was a catalog of forbidden books, her physical strength was worse than Tear's, who had undergone training. She was probably at the beginning of spring. After tossing and turning for half the night, she lay on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.
"What are you going to do to that child?"
Godsplit stared at Fangzheng and asked sternly, while Fangzheng yawned.
"Nothing much … Advanced Dispel Magic."
As he spoke, Fangzheng stretched out his hand and pointed at Intecas. Everyone saw a dark beam of light shoot out from Fangzheng's fingertip and hit Intecas's body. Then, a strange symbol that looked like the Arabic number "4" quietly appeared on Intecas's forehead, then disappeared with a click.
"Okay, it's done."
Fangzheng clapped his hands, and at that moment, no one could react.
"F- Mr. Fangzheng, that's it?"
Tear, who was dumbfounded, grabbed Fangzheng's sleeve and asked. Fangzheng turned to look at her.
"What else do you want? What else do you want? Do you think I should make a particularly gorgeous ceremony, and then create a particularly big commotion, preferably with a little accident …? "
"Warning!"
However, before Fangzheng could finish, Intecas, who was lying on the sofa, suddenly opened her eyes. However, unlike before, Indicas was like a robot controlled by a computer at this moment. She spoke in a flat and indifferent voice.
"Chapter 3, Section 2. Confirm that the first to third boundaries have been penetrated. Prepare to regenerate … Failed. Unable to regenerate on its own."
"What's … this?"
Upon seeing this, God Rending Fireweaver and Steele widened their eyes and looked at Indicas in disbelief. They could even see the blood-red magic formation in the girl's eyes. It was shining brightly.
But that's impossible. Intecas shouldn't be able to use magic!
However, before they could react, they saw Indicas slowly turn around and look at Fangzheng.
"For now, in order to protect the 103,000 books in the library, priority will be given to dealing with intruders...."
"Mr. Fangzheng!"
Seeing this scene, Tears cried out uneasily. However, Fangzheng just glanced at Indicas.
"Lie down."
[… Understood. Set to highest order. Forbidden Book Catalog will enter hibernation mode.]
As soon as she said that, the scarlet magic array in her eyes slowly disappeared. Then, she fell back onto the sofa and fell asleep again.
"…"
Looking at this scene, everyone was speechless.
"I didn't expect it to be so easy …"
When he returned to the study, Lei Zi still had a look of disbelief.
"I thought it would be very difficult!"
"It may be difficult for you, but it's not that difficult for me. If it weren't for the fact that the automatic secretary had merged with Indicas' personality, I would have deleted that thing for her. "
Fangzheng returned to his chair and stroked the kitten. At the same time, he answered Teardrop. Meanwhile, Steele and Fireweaver were still standing there blankly, not knowing what to do. Fortunately, Tears noticed this and relieved them of their embarrassment.
"Then, Mr. Fangzheng, what should we do with them?"
"What about these two?"
Fangzheng played with the kitten and glanced at the two with narrowed eyes.
"Stay here and work for me. The tall one will move the goods or something. As for the exhibitionist woman, she'll be a maid for the time being, making tea and pouring water. We'll let them go after the British Puritans pay us."
"Uh … What kind of money?"
"Mental damage compensation!"
Fangzheng glared at Tears.
"You fought with them. Look at how badly you've been beaten up. It's not too much to ask for some compensation, right?"
"No, no, there's really no need for that …"
Hearing this, Tears was shocked and hurriedly shook her head.
"Look at me, aren't I fine now? Mr. Fangzheng? It's all thanks to you for treating me … "
"Yeah, but do you think an apology is enough to let my little girl go? If an apology works, why would we need the police? Besides, they haven't even apologized yet. "
"Ugh …"
Hearing Fangzheng say "my little girl", Tears' face instantly turned red. She lowered her head and dared not speak anymore.
"You're going to leave us here? Do you know what this means? "
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Steele and Fireweaver's expressions changed.
"You'll cause a big problem if you do this. If you do this, it's likely to lead to an all-out war between the Magic Faction and the Science Faction."
"Oh."
Although Fireweaver's words sounded alarmist, Fangzheng's response clearly showed that he was not from Xiamen University.
"So?"
"You … Don't you understand the problem?"
"I don't understand. It doesn't matter to me."
Hearing this, the two were speechless.
"It doesn't matter …?"
"That's right. You said that the Magic Faction is going to declare war on the Science Faction. Then I really want to ask, what are you going to do?"
Fangzheng leaned back in his chair. As he stroked the kitten, he looked at the two with a grin.
"What? Can you Magic Faction stop people from using computers and televisions? Or stop taking cars and planes? Or dismantle the world's supercomputers and rockets? That's too troublesome. You might as well kill all humans. As long as humans can still calculate, think and spread ideas, then science will continue to develop. As for the current human civilization … "
As he spoke, Fangzheng pointed to the lights on the ceiling, then pointed to the floor.
"It's developed on the basis of science. You want to declare war on the Science Faction? Alright, let's kill all of humanity. "
"…"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Steele and Fireweaver were speechless again. But soon, Steele also asked.
"Aren't you worried that the Campus City will be destroyed? It's an important existence for the Science Faction, right? "
"Haha."
Fangzheng smiled, then turned to Teardrop.
"Teardrop."
"Huh? Huh? What's the matter? "
"Has the World Mathematics Congress ever been held here?"
"This … I've never heard of it."
"What about the World Physics Congress?"
"… I don't think so?"
"What about semiconductors, organic chemistry, AI design?"
"…???"
"Look."
Fangzheng shrugged and spread his hands.
"Forget about destroying the Campus City, even if you flatten all of Japan, it won't affect the progress of human science and civilization by even a millimeter. The Campus City itself is an isolated island. It basically has little impact on the world's science and civilization, so … if you destroy the Campus City, other places probably won't even bat an eye. They'll just continue doing what they're supposed to do. "
"This …"
This time, Steele and Fireweaver were completely speechless. They had always believed that the Campus City with top science and technology must be the strongest force in the Science Faction. But they neglected the circulation of knowledge. Only knowledge that was disseminated would be useful. The Campus City was independent of the mainstream scientific research community. It was like the Vulture Palace in the Wuxia novels. It was awesome, and its martial arts were high enough, but it basically had no impact on the martial arts community.
Even if you destroyed the Vulture Palace, the martial arts community would still do what they were supposed to do. Who would care about that palace in some unknown place?
On the other hand, if you destroyed Shaolin and Wudang, the impact would be huge. Why? Because they had disciples all over the world. Martial arts was also a kind of knowledge. Only when it was circulated would it have an impact. Therefore, after something happened to you, the impact would be magnified.
But what about the Campus City?
So what if it claimed to be 30 years ahead of the outside world? They kept their own things tightly under wraps. They did not participate in the formulation of various standards, nor did they involve themselves in monopolizing the market. They would not become the standard-setters and promoters of the scientific field. If they dominated many scientific research fields, then the destruction of the Campus City would indeed bring a devastating blow to scientific research. After all, a lot of research would have to be interrupted or restarted.
But the fact was, in order to protect its own secrets, the Campus City did not even allow rats to go out casually. The exchange of knowledge was also quite low.
So whether they were alive or dead, would it affect the outside world?
Of course not.
Maybe it would be better if they were dead. That way, other forces could still find some good things from the research results of the Campus City.
And Steele and God Split Fireweaver obviously regarded the Campus City as the Jerusalem of religion. They thought that as long as they destroyed the Campus City, they would be able to deal a major blow to the technological side. But probably even if they were beaten to death, the Campus City's position in the technological civilization was not as good as the Beggar's Gang.
At least if the Beggar's Gang was destroyed, no one would care about the beggars. It would be a headache.
If the Campus City was destroyed, except for Japan, other countries would probably be eager to watch a good show.
It would be even better if they could find something good from the corpses of the Campus City.
So in Fangzheng's view, the so-called war between the magical side and the scientific side was a joke.
Unless the magicians could kill all humans, otherwise destroying the scientific side? Dream on.
What's more …
"If they dare to come to me for trouble, I will kill one if they come, kill two if they come. If they are not afraid of death, then come."
Fangzheng snorted coldly, then stood up with the little kitten in his arms.
"Alright, remember, from tomorrow onwards, you will work 24 hours a day. Food and accommodation are not included, and you will work seven days a week. You can contact whoever you want, but if you dare to run away, I will break your legs and then reattach them. I will break your legs every time you escape, understand? If you understand, then scram. I will give you one day to ask the head of the British Puritans for money. Report to me tomorrow morning. Scram. "
After saying this, Fangzheng waved his hand, and the next moment, the door opened automatically. Steele and God Split Fireweaver felt a powerful and irresistible force rushing towards them, directly sending them flying. The two only felt their vision blur, and the next moment, they fell heavily to the ground. When they stood up again, they found that they had been thrown to the flower bed outside the entrance of the research institute. In front of them, the automatic door slowly closed and then locked with a "beep".
"…"
The two of them stood up silently and looked at each other.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
After a while, Steele sighed.
"What now?"
"There's no other way."
God Split Fireweaver also shook her head.
"Now that things have come to this, we can only report to the highest bishop."
