Chapter 50 CATCH

At two o'clock in the morning, all the students and staff of the Jinsha Society were gathered in the square.

The square is paved with ancient stone tiles, a fountain full of water lilies has stopped, and all the white pigeons have returned to the clock tower. The orange light of the street lamps shines on everyone's tired and frightened faces, making their shadows slant and slant. long.They are like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered just woke up from sleep.

The Suhuang government army was checking their identities. The red-haired woman Sopela in a snow-white uniform led the army. Her cat-like green eyes swept across the crowd, and she loudly shook her whip in the dark night:

"That's right, I am Sopela, the leader of the Royal Yong Army 3000 years ago. Whether you believe it or not, I am me. Now, on behalf of Su Huang's supreme commander, I am ordered to arrest all suspicious persons hidden in the Jinsha Academy."

A fresh-blooded student said angrily, "I think you are the suspicious people!"

Sopela's whip immediately brushed his cheek, leaving a shocking bloodstain.The woman winked at her subordinates, and someone immediately controlled the student and forcibly checked his ID card and gene sequence. He was surrounded by a black crowd, and only an angry roar could be heard.

Others in the square were silent, and several professors who wanted to stop them were immediately subdued by the soldiers, handcuffed and pinned down on the cold ground.

Holding the whip in his hand, Sopela said defiantly: "I repeat, members of the Weaver Party and the Holy Moon Sect, I hope you will take the initiative to stand up, so that your companions and teachers will suffer less flesh and blood, especially the Holy Moon Sect." Yuejiao, I know you are hiding here."

She paused, then smiled: "As a general 3000 years ago, I admit that I am not familiar with the Weaver Party, but I personally encircled and suppressed the Holy Moon Sect. Even after so many years, I can still recognize you guys." The eyes—the kind of eyes that are exactly the same as those of the Holy Maiden Mis."

There was whispering among the crowd.

"Is she really Sopela?"

"I heard that there is such a technology for resurrecting ancient people, if the body is well preserved."

"Then how did she become Su Huang's person?"

"Who would have thought that the idol 3000 years ago would suddenly collapse?"

The soldiers searched people's IDs one by one and took blood to test their genes. Some people were taken away sporadically.Siswell and the others stood relatively back, but it was only a matter of time before they were found.

Siswell lowered his head, with cold sweat clenched in his palms.

what to do?Now is not a good time to escape, he will be shot dead on the spot.

At this moment, a group of tough philosophy students stood up. They resolutely opposed the government's interference in the society's internal affairs and protested against their harming the principal, which caused quite a riot.

Su Huang's army in white uniform was fighting with the unarmed students, and it seemed that someone shot in the middle, and the situation became more serious in an instant.When they heard the gunshots, the people were obviously terrified, and the excited students became even more angry and rushed towards the army. The scene lost control in an instant, as if a huge wave suddenly surged in a calm water tank.

"Let's go now." Cang Xing whispered.

They were not the only ones who wanted to flee. Many people fled the scene at this time, and the crowd in the square dispersed like disturbed pigeons.

Yun An looked around to make sure that no one was following them, and raised his hand to direct everyone to leave.

"Can't go back to the dormitory, someone must be searching." Siswell said, in fact, she was also a little confused about where to escape.

"Is there any special hidden place in your society? It's best that only you know." Yun An hurriedly said, if they don't hurry up, they will be caught.

Heathwell searched desperately in his mind, and suddenly remembered his experience as a librarian in his freshman year of college.

"I want a place, everyone come with me!" She said and quickened her pace.

"Isn't this your old library? I remember that many people usually study in it." Yun An said.

Siswell pushed open the heavy wooden door and said confidently: "But they absolutely don't know that there is a fourth underground floor here."

The old library of the Jinsha Institute is smaller than the new library. Overall, it is a small red building with a steeple and a history of more than 100 years. It was eliminated because of the old equipment, but students can study here.

The elevator buttons only indicate the -3~2 floors, there is no indication below the third floor, and there is no staircase leading to the -4 floor in the corridor.

"You can't go through the normal passage, you have to go here." Siswell turned on the flashlight, and skillfully removed the piles of groceries in the dusty and dilapidated stairwell, and saw a rusty dog ​​gradually appearing on the wall. A small square elevator entrance with a down arrow button next to it.

"Is this for living people?" No matter how he looked at it, Yun An felt that it was outrageous. The door was not even waist high, a bit like a cremation window in a crematorium.

"It's for books," Heathwell explained. "When we were librarians, we would dump out-of-date newspapers and magazines into this window in a small trailer to the -4th floor, but no one ever went down there. , it fell into disuse after the old library was deactivated, and hopefully it's still active now."

Siswell pressed the button as he spoke, but fortunately the button was still brightly displayed, and only heard the subtle sound of mechanical operation coming gradually, like a giant beast approaching in the dark night.

The moonlight is pale, the empty old library, the dusty corridors, and the musty smell in the air.In the square in the distance, the sound of turmoil could be faintly heard, sporadic gunshots sounded like dogs barking, and everyone was tense, trying to find their way out in this doomed sleepless night.

Ding-dong-

When the elevator arrived, the narrow square doors opened to both sides, and inside was the elevator cabin with faint blue lights. They squatted down and got in one by one. At this time, Siswell found that Su Ann was gone.

"Where's Sue Ann? Has anyone seen her?" she asked.

"We were still together when we entered the library." Yun An recalled.

Xing Xing pointed to a place outside the window and said, "Is it there?"

I saw that under the steps outside the library, Su An was walking in the completely opposite direction to them, walking towards the dormitory area with small steps.

"Is she crazy? Going to die?" Yun An's forehead was sweating.The Sakuwa woman always makes unexpected moves at critical moments.

"Perhaps she saw Shano. Sopela is here tonight, and Shano is probably also there." Xing said.

"What to do, I have to call her back immediately." Siswell paced anxiously.

Helios gave another suggestion, propped his feet on the elevator door and said, "Leave her alone, let's go first, there is no time to delay."

According to Helios' calculations, Su An is completely a burden. Although he is strong in combat, he will not obey the Weaver Party's control. There is a high probability of defecting to Shano at critical moments, and taking Su An will reduce them by a full 15%. winning percentage.

Siswell remembered the conversation Helios had had with her earlier.

"Su An's mental state is not stable, please exclude her from the next operation."

Helios is actually sensible, Heathwell knows that as the captain of Group B, she has to make a choice, but——

In the past few months in Jinsha City, Su An has been with them day and night. Although Sakuwa killed her teacher and seriously injured Shan Mu Zhelang, she still couldn't make Siswell give up her teammate in front of her.

Maybe it's weakness, maybe it's the white lotus flower in the heart of the Virgin, it doesn't matter what others say, the important thing is to always be worthy of your conscience.Siswell recalled the teachings of Professor Gerok, that old man, and even many scholars of the Golden Robe Society, would never abandon conscience and goodwill.

In today's strong society, kindness has been regarded as a weakness by human beings, but the people of Jinsha Society will not abandon it.

Even if kindness sometimes contradicts reason.

Siswell made up his mind, turned around and said, "I'm the captain, and I'm responsible for bringing Su'an back!" Saying that, he jumped out of the window without hesitation, his light blond hair flying.

Helios was surprised: a mere little girl violated his perfect arrangement.

After Xiswell jumped out, Xingye jumped out silently, and they chased Su An one after the other.

Yun An looked at the two of them and scratched his head helplessly: "I can't take it anymore, that's all, I'll cover them." The boy threw the heavy backpack containing the supplies to Helios, and leaned over the window with one hand on the railing. He greeted, "Brother, you are here to help guard the elevator, we will be right back!"

Helios felt that his own program was completely out of order, and the chess pieces that he controlled in his hands jumped out of his chessboard one by one to save an unimportant cannon fodder.

Unbelievable, unbelievable.

Abandoning the safety that can be obtained in a few steps, and turning to danger, why do human beings always make such impulsive choices?

What exactly is a human being?What is emotion?Do you really understand them?

Helios guards the empty elevator alone. At this moment, he no longer thinks that human beings are stupid, but instead feels like a fool abandoned by the world.

On the other side, Siswell caught up with Su An, grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her back from the edge of death.

Under the cover of Xing and Yun'an, she dragged Su An back.

"Don't act like a fool!" Siswell said pretending to be tough, "We are a team, and I am the captain. No matter where you are, I will be responsible for bringing you back. Do you hear me?"

The night wind was howling, Siswell was only focused on running, she didn't see Su An's surprised eyes on her back, and she didn't hear the faint "I'm sorry".

The shadows of the two girls running were elongated by the street lights.

When they rushed into the library, Su Huang probably had spotted their whereabouts, and there were heavy footsteps behind them.Cang Xing and Yun An stayed behind, closed the library door, and used tables and chairs to support themselves to death.

"Quick, go to -4 floor!"

After finishing all this, they squeezed into the elevator again, and before the elevator closed, Xing did not forget to block the door with grocery boxes.

Helios glanced at his watch: "You spent three minutes and 45 seconds."

"Not bad." Yun An wiped his sweat.

"But it seems that there is a tail chasing it." Xing remained vigilant.

So the four of them and an artificial human huddled together in the narrow elevator amidst the sound of restless and nervous breathing, and slowly descended to the fourth floor of the mysterious library, their fate seemed to be held in the hands of heaven.

When they arrived at the negative 4th floor, the elevator door opened, and the floor under their feet suddenly tilted, and they slid out one after another.

What greeted them was a dark storage room. The floor was strewn with old newspapers and magazines, which creaked like dead leaves when stepped on.

The flashlight scanned the surroundings. There were only some simple ventilation systems in the house. The corners of the walls were covered with large and small cobwebs. The dust was so dense that it was choking. The group of people coughed at the same time.

"How old is this place, ahem, no need?" Yun An covered his mouth and nose.

"Almost six years," Siswell said with difficulty.

At this time, a bookshelf next to him suddenly fell down straight and straight, making a loud creaking noise. It fell very suddenly and strangely, and the books inside crashed down. Luckily, Cang Xing and Su An supported it quickly. No one was injured at the scene.

The two of them returned the bookshelves to their original positions and took out their guns and knives.

"There are others besides us." Su An sniffed the smell in the air, looked at Heathwell and said seriously.

She shone the flashlight on the ground, and saw that in addition to the messy footprints of their group, there was also a small footprint leading to the depths of the room behind the bookshelves.

Siswell gasped.

However, before she could finish her psychological preparation, a pale figure suddenly appeared, standing quietly in front of everyone.

"Ghost!" She and Yun An yelled in unison.

Besides ghosts, who else would appear on the fourth basement floor of the abandoned library in the middle of the night!

Unexpectedly, the pale ghost spoke, accompanied by a familiar smell of fried potatoes.

"What the hell, I thought you were ghosts."

Um?Why is the voice familiar?

Siswell opened his eyes a slit, then opened them a little, took a final look, and exclaimed, "You're the one from the cafeteria, the potato burner...!?"

"Isn't it me? I didn't expect you guys to be a little bit capable, but you came here." I saw Tudou Xishi coming from the darkness, and the flashlight completely illuminated her whole body.

She was wearing a snow-white apron and a white chef's hat, and she was holding a cookbook of "100 Court Cuisines in the Yin Qi Era".

Siswell took a step back, sweating coldly: "Auntie, oh no, sister, how do you know this place? Could it be to find a recipe?"

"Of course not." Potato Shih Tzu sighed, "Since we've been discovered, there's nothing we can do about it. You are members of the Weaver Party, right? Sopela is arresting you upstairs, isn't it?"

Siswell nodded warily.

"Let me tell you, Sopela is also arresting me."

Siswell's eyes widened: "Are you also a Weaver Party?"

"Oh, that's not because of that," Tudou Xishi pushed her hair back and puffed her chest out, "Although I can't tell, I'm actually a genuine Holy Moon Sect nun."
