"Tell me, what's going on with this mission?"
Lu Chen is sitting on the helicopter at this time, talking with the Commissioner opposite with headphones.
He was informed in the evening that he had gone through a 15 hour flight in the college's special plane (Note: there is a six hour time difference between the two places), all the way to Africa, and now he got on the helicopter.
However, the explanation of the task arrangement sent by Norma is very simple. It only says that he is carrying out a special survey in Namaqualand, South Africa, and pulling him in just in case.
At that time, he was not well. He thought he was asked to chop the dragon. Who knows he was asked to supervise the work?
It seems completely uncertain whether there is anything to cut.
For specific matters, he can only ask Commissioner Mei Li who came to pick him up.
"The reason for this is that recently, satellites have detected abnormal climate phenomena in part of the namaqualan desert, and the sea of flowers is booming..."
Lu Chen raised his hand, "excuse me for interrupting. Did you just say it's desert? Desert and sea of flowers?"
"Namaqualand is the only biodiversity arid area on earth. It will become like spring in August and September every year, with a sea of flowers everywhere."
Commissioner Melly realized that their ace Commissioner didn't seem to have a good geography.
"But it's almost a month now."
Lu Chen looked out of the window. It was the season when everything withered.
"That's the problem. It's an abnormal climate phenomenon. If it's only delayed for one month, it may also be an accidental anomaly caused by a series of changes such as the global greenhouse effect in recent years. But the flower sea has lasted until now. There must be some abnormal force affecting it."
"Dragons?"
Lu chenlai is interested.
"It's too early to judge at present, but it's very possible. After all, only they have such supernatural power, affecting such a large area, and the scope of the flower sea is up to 20 kilometers."
"How many generations will it be?"
"Based on the experience of the history of the secret party and the scope of this abnormal phenomenon, we speculate that there is likely to be a noble three generation species sleeping under that land."
Mei Li does not exaggerate in words. Through the study of the history of dragons, the three generations of dragons belong to the upper class even in the dragon family. In ancient China, they were mostly enfeoffed nobles. They were noble beings with power and power, not comparable to the "miscellaneous soldiers" of the four or five generations.
"Interesting."
Lu Chen's thumb pushed the handle of Hongfeng's knife.
"There's something more interesting. It also involves a previous task. It seems that the days are just a few days before you enter school."
Mei Li saw Lu Chen's questioning eyes and continued: "before that, a bronze coffin was unearthed not far from the area. It was considered to be a high-risk dragon relic by the college. The secret party ordered the destruction of the relic, but the execution department encountered some trouble in carrying out its task."
"The bronze coffin was bought by a local warlord. The execution department failed to negotiate with it and was expelled by force. The commissioners of the execution department naturally won after receiving supplies from the college."
Lu Chen nodded, which seemed to be the style of the execution department. He started to work when he didn't agree. The enemy usually couldn't do this group of hybrid seeds to kill embryos.
"It is said that the commissioners killed the Warlord's home and destroyed the bronze coffin with aqua regia. The mission report was consistent with the commissioners, and the destroyed photos were filed and sealed."
Lu Chen raised his hand at this time and asked, "there is a question. Isn't this kind of dragon cultural relics Institute usually recycled for research? Why should it be destroyed this time?"
"Because the bronze coffins of dragons often have special significance and may be the preparation place for their cocooning, with... It is easy to understand that they have spiritual marks, and they can cocoon by preset means after death. Therefore, it is difficult for pure blood Dragons of more than three generations to be killed, unless they can use special alchemical weapons to kill their bodies and their essence at the same time God, like the stone of the sage. "
Mei Li continued: "the Academy of this kind of bronze coffin has recycled several for research. It is of little significance to collect more. In addition, the objects are huge and there are some difficulties in transportation and customs, so we usually destroy them and don't give dragons the chance to regenerate and cocoon..."
Then she smiled, "at least let them have one less spare land."
"But I heard that some coffins contain various instruments of torture in order to seal the dragon to death."
Lu Chen is not completely absent from class. He remembers some knowledge he should know very clearly.
"That's also true, but what we found this time is not an empty coffin. It's clean and even undulating. The design is very comfortable, so we destroyed it as usual."
Melly spread her hand.
"Well, I see. You go on. Now that it has been destroyed, is there any problem?"
Lu Chen solved his doubts, but he knew that since he was asked to come here again, and the abnormalities in the area of namaqualan, they all represented that there was something to be said after the mission.
"The problem occurred a few days ago. When we noticed the abnormality of namaquaran, we thought of the task at the first time, so the commissioner who participated in the task was recalled to the college for reconfirmation. In the process, we issued the problem."
"What?"
"The commissioners were hypnotized."
"Spirit?"
"You should know that Professor Toyama Yashi's spirit is hypnosis, which is usually used to brainwash ordinary people involved in dragon events and provide psychological counseling for people in our college."
"That kind of counseling sounds like I really don't want to go."
Lu Chen laughed and make complaints about it.
"It's not as terrible as you think. Most of the commissioners who have psychological problems due to long-term tasks and even depression feel very good after receiving psychological counseling from Professor Toyama Yashi. They say that life has become happier."
Merry waved her hand and explained.
"It sounds more terrible."
Lu Chen reserved his view.
"Well, then, under the guidance of Professor Toyama Yashi, the commissioners recovered the truth of the mission. They did win the encounter, kill into the Warlord's home and destroy the bronze coffin, but the problem is that the bronze coffin is an imitation, or a substitute, not a dragon relic. If they were sober, they could definitely distinguish it, but they were not sober at that time , after entering the Warlord's house, he was influenced and hypnotized by a strange force. "
"Why are there so many coffins hidden in the Warlord's house? Are they waiting for their own use?"
Lu Chen wondered and said that the interests of the rich were really unique.
"The warlord was originally a lover of antiquities collection, especially fond of all kinds of coffins. He believed that by observing the coffins of ancient countries, we can further understand the ancient culture of various civilizations, because many civilizations attach great importance to burial, especially your China."
"That was before. I heard that now people in China joke that they can't afford to die. Most of them are cremated."
Lu Chen has been hanging out with finger for a long time. He feels that he will say two bad words from time to time.
"Cremation is also very environmentally friendly and can solve the problem of occupying cultivated land."
Mei Li took up the slot, but continued to get to the point: "this is the dereliction of duty of our executive department. We clearly knew that the warlord was a..." coffin lover ", but we didn't realize that this might happen. Now think about it, there were only pictures after destruction in the mission report, and there were no photos before destruction. We trust the Commissioner's written report too much."
Lu Chen shook his head. "I can't blame those commissioners. No one thought they would be hypnotized collectively."
He is just a little strange. With the meticulous and strict character of his mentor, he should find it fishy when reviewing the task report. At least he will question those commissioners why they lack physical photos before destruction.
Did the tutor drink too much that day? His physical condition, can he drink?
