Dragon Clan: Avoid the College Entrance Examination to Slay the Dragon

Chapter 15 The End
Li Chengze passed through the vortex of light, and suddenly the sky seemed to be doused with asphalt. Under the pouring rain, thick black clouds surged with the texture of iron sand. Lightning streaked silently through the gaps in the clouds until three seconds later, a muffled thunder was heard.

The beam of a tactical flashlight pierced the rain curtain. The five-story teaching building looked like a giant's wreck, its western wall peeling away in its entirety, revealing rebar like rusted ribs. All the glass windows retained the radiating cracks from the moment of the explosion. The most bizarre thing was the rooftop, where half the concrete structure had vanished into thin air, leaving dozens of desk legs dangling from the broken surface.

Li Chengze's palm was like a guillotine, splitting the rain curtain. "Thermal imaging shows signs of life on the third floor. Team B will establish a circular defense line. Team A will follow me into the teaching building."

His command was interrupted by a crackling sound amidst the rain. The wall of the third floor exploded, sending shards of concrete flying like shotgun shells.

Ryan's figure flew backward, leaving a dark red trail in the rain. His deformed right arm was expanding at a visible speed, proliferating into a forest of bone spurs interwoven with white and indigo, but in the next instant, it was shattered by Gu Yi's fist.

"This is..." Li Chengze's pupils constricted. He saw the black-haired boy swooping over the broken wall like a hawk, his hands gripping Ryan's left arm, drawing a perfect arc of death in the air, and smashing him straight to the ground.

"boom!"

Amidst the rumbling sound of the ground cracking, Ryan's spine collided with the tiles with a teeth-grinding sound, and the road surface also exploded into spider-web-like cracks in the impact.

Gu Yi smashed through the rubble flying in the air and dived down. The short knife in his hand flashed with a cold light and pointed directly at Ryan's head, but was cut off by the seven-inch green blade at the moment of the chop.

"clang--!"

The moment the scabbard and the short blade collided, raindrops within a ten-meter radius shattered simultaneously. The hem of Li Chengze's windbreaker was lifted by the blast, revealing the darkly embroidered emblem of the half-rotten World Tree on the lining. A drop of blood burst from Gu Yi's mouth and hung in mid-air, reflecting the golden flames boiling in their eyes.

"Get out of the way." Gu Yi roared.

Li Chengze turned his wrist, and the eight-sided Han sword shook off a string of cold stars in the rain. "The Enforcement Bureau is investigating this case. Please cooperate with the investigation."

Before he could finish his words, Gu Yi was hurled backwards by the recoil. The outer wall dented with spiderweb-like cracks at the moment of impact, and the peeling plaster on the surface briefly formed a human-shaped white mist, then collapsed into pale mud in the heavy rain.

Li Chengze pulled the sole of his boot from the asphalt. The cracks radiating from him maintained the tension of the moment they erupted. The longest crack even extended to the bottom of the rusted horizontal bar at the edge of the teaching building, as if an invisible giant beast had just arched its back from the ground.

When Gu Yi jumped down from the dust and mist, seven swords were piercing Ryan's limb joints, and dark red restraints were injected into his bulging carotid artery through the syringe.

"What did you do to him?" Gu Yi's golden eyes flickered behind the rain curtain.

"Instead of this, why don't you explain what you are?" Li Chengze said coldly.

The golden color in Gu Yi's eyes surged, "It's none of your business."

The hem of Li Chengze's windbreaker suddenly rustled, and the eight-sided Han sword vibrated through the rain like a dragon's roar. The bronze dragon head, engulfed by the sword guard, suddenly opened its eyes. Behind him, the safety catches of the specialists' guns simultaneously popped off, their twelve crosshairs locked onto Gu Yi's vital points.

"and many more!"

Chu Zihang smashed open the rickety door of the teaching building and rushed over, his arms outstretched to block Gu Yi. "He's not a threat!"

Li Chengze's sword tip froze in the rain, the edge of the sword only three inches away from Chu Zihang's throat. He stared at the dark golden flame dancing in the boy's dark pupils.

"Do you know him?" Chu Zihang's Adam's apple rolled up and down as it brushed against the sword's edge. He turned his head to look at Gu Yi, "They are people who specialize in dealing with this kind of thing. They are not your enemies."

The violent golden color in the depths of Gu Yi's pupils gradually subsided, "I believe you."

Li Chengze sheathed his sword and said, "I need you two to explain everything clearly."

"Wait," Gu Yi clenched his healing palm, "Have you ever met a student named Lu Mingfei?"

Li Chengze nodded. "During the previous evacuation, he had been hiding inside the school and avoided the evacuation. He was later found by our people and should have been sent to the evacuation point by now."

Chu Zihang saw Gu Yi's tense shoulders suddenly relax, and the heavy rain washed over the back of his neck, steaming up a white mist.

"Now I need your cooperation in the investigation," Li Chengze said, "regarding your bloodline and everything that has happened to you recently."

Suddenly, the crisp sound of shattering glass echoed from the sky. As if ripped apart by an invisible giant hand, the thick black clouds opened, and sunlight poured in. The cracked exterior of the teaching building rippled in the light, and the broken steel and concrete melted away like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser, and the shattered glass windows returned to a mirror-like state.

An executive officer said to Li Chengze: "Commander, Longxu has disappeared."

Li Chengze nodded and said, "Let's go and talk at a suitable place."

-

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, dusk rolled over the steel forest like a tide. Gu Yi stared at the last glimmer of gilded sunlight on the glass curtain wall. The office buildings, reflecting the setting sun, were like countless ancient bronze swords slashing at an angle, slicing the sunset glow into fragments that fell into the bustling traffic below.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Li Chengze snapped his black leather notebook shut. "Most things are now clear."

Gu Yi leaned back on the sofa and asked, "So, are all these things I've done illegal?"

Li Chengze raised his eyebrows slightly. "Of course not. The victim is not responsible for self-rescue." He suddenly stood up. "Then I'll be out for a moment. You wait here."

"You promised to explain my doubts!" ​​Gu Yi slapped the glass coffee table, causing the tea set on the metal tray to clink.

Li Chengze unbuttoned the magnetic button of the communicator on his collar with one hand. "Young man, patience is a virtue. The specially arranged tour guide will be here soon. It will be more convenient for people of the same age to communicate." He paused, the heels of his tactical boots tapping out a receding rhythm on the ground. "Convenient."

Behind Li Chengze, the metal hinges hummed briefly, and then the titanium alloy door with bulletproof glass suddenly cracked again. In the cold white light of the corridor stood a beautiful girl, about sixteen or seventeen. Her long burgundy hair flowed to her waist like molten copper, and a silver four-leaf clover pendant dangling from her earlobe swayed slightly.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Chen Motong." She raised the corners of her lips into a standard 30-degree diplomatic smile.

Gu Yi sank into the memory foam sofa and raised his right arm. "Well, can we order some food first? I'm really hungry."

Chen Motong's face darkened instantly. Did this bastard think he was a waiter?
