A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 172: He wasn't exposed and even became a hero.
In the Kassel school clinic, in a private room, Chu Zihang, who had changed into a hospital gown at some point, weakly opened his eyes.

His excellent physical condition allowed him to see clearly even in a dimly lit room: "Me... here?"

His memories gradually cleared, and he immediately recalled everything he had seen before he fell unconscious! Odin, his father, Chu Tianjiao!

Chu Tianjiao was clearly in a strange state of being controlled by Odin!
We must rescue my father!
His sleepy eyes suddenly cleared, and as he tried to clench his fists, he realized that someone was still holding his left hand.

Looking in that direction, he saw Susie sitting next to the hospital bed in a very uncomfortable position, holding his hand and half-lying down to rest.

Slightly calming his anger towards Odin, Chu Zihang stared silently at Susie. After a few seconds, he raised his right hand and pressed it against his heart.

Has it recovered? Whether it was the fracture of the left scapula or the cut in front of the heart.

Oh right, I remember at the last gathering, I bought a Flame Potion from Lady Moon, while Susie bought a High-Grade Healing Potion.

Susie used a high-level healing potion on him? Otherwise, even a hybrid wouldn't heal that kind of injury so quickly.

"You're awake?" Susie clearly hadn't slept well; Chu Zihang's slightest movement startled her awake.

Seeing Chu Zihang wake up, Susie finally smiled with relief. She got up and stretched a bit, the body control brought by the Sequence 8 machine able to eliminate the numbness in her legs as quickly as possible: "Are you hungry?"

"I'm keeping some congee warm in the microwave near the school clinic."

Chu Zihang was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slightly: "Thank you for your trouble."

Susie said nothing and quickly opened the door.

Looking at the empty ward, Chu Zihang pondered silently. To defeat Odin and rescue his father, he would inevitably need to accelerate the digestion of the magic potion and advance to the next level as soon as possible.

During the previous battle with Odin, the Schemer's potion was partially digested at the end.

Why is that?
They clearly didn't play the role of a schemer, nor did they engage in any conspiracy.

Could it be? Recalling the final trap, Chu Zihang vaguely realized that the trap was the simplest conspiracy.

A short while later, Susie returned with a tray and considerately raised the medical dining table for Chu Zihang.

Like a wife, she set out the porridge and tableware, along with a cup of warm water at the perfect temperature: "Be careful, it's hot."

Chu Zihang drank some water first. Even though his throat was parched and thirsty, he did not gulp down any water. He carefully drank three sips and gradually increased the amount of water he drank.

Then he picked up a spoon, scooped up some white porridge, blew on it to cool it down, and ate it.

Susie watched this scene with a sense of relief, secretly sighing in her heart, "Lady Moon's potion is really effective, the cure is so thorough. It's a pity there's no chance to feed Chu Zihang."

"What happened after I lost consciousness?" After eating a few bites to fill his stomach, Chu Zihang realized that he might have been exposed.

The act of arson, which disregarded the vice principal's words of authority and precepts, alone makes it impossible to conceal one's identity.

"Don't worry." Having worked with Chu Zihang for so long, Su Xi had a good understanding with him and knew what he was concerned about: "When you suddenly ran out after the training session, I had a premonition."

"From the fragments of the future I saw, I knew that you might get injured and that I wouldn't be able to catch up with you, so I contacted Senior Brother Fingel immediately."

“Brother Fingel not only found you, but also helped Norma use his authority to delete all the nearby videos.”

"I then sought help from Nono, and with the help of Nono's psychological suggestion, we created several false images of attacks by outsiders."

“Senior Brother Fingel is very powerful now. He can use his extraordinary abilities to imitate some of the Word Spirits, and he is not restricted by the Vice Principal’s Word Spirits and Commandments. He has left many traces of Word Spirit destruction in various parts of the academy.”

"With Nono's psychological suggestion, many students said that they really saw the intruders, and there was even a firefight. The other side even used the power of words."

"So no matter how much the principal of Angers and the academy investigate, they won't find anything. It's not just that there were traces of Word of Power in Norton Hall before you fell into a coma; now, most of Kassel is full of traces of Word of Power."

"Now everyone sees you as a hero who accidentally encountered the attackers, bravely protected Norton House, and fought back the invaders while injured."

“Even if Principal Angers still suspects you, there’s a lack of evidence, and the current public opinion among the students ensures you won’t be easily interrogated by the principal.” “Phew.” Chu Zihang ate efficiently. By the time Susie finished explaining the series of follow-up arrangements, he had already eaten half a bowl: “Sorry to have kept you all so busy cleaning up after me.”

Don't be fooled by how simple Susie's words sound; just think about it and you'll realize that faking attacks by outsiders all over Kassel College must have kept her incredibly busy.

This time, we really let them down.

Susie glanced at Chu Zihang, her gaze lingering on the corner of his mouth where he had just drunk porridge. Her face flushed and she eagerly took out her handkerchief, stretching it out slightly.

Sure enough, wiping his mouth was too embarrassing, so Susie finally slapped the handkerchief into Chu Zihang's hand: "Wipe your mouth, and don't apologize or say anything about causing us trouble."

"Isn't it Odin? Senior Brother Fingel has already told us. Although we don't know what Odin is all about, we will help you."

Chu Zihang was not stupid to begin with, and after becoming a schemer, his thinking speed improved significantly. He immediately realized that Su Qian didn't like to hear these kinds of words.

I don't want to hear him apologize or say he's been a bother.

However, Chu Zihang still apologized in his heart. His father was still under Odin's control, and he was not in the mood to think about matters between men and women.

"Tuk-tuk."

A soft knock sounded at the door. Susie went to open it and saw Principal Angers with a smile on his face and holding a bouquet of tulips.

"Principal," Susie said politely, opening the door and announcing the time like a machine, "According to the school doctor's advice, Chu Zihang's injuries are serious."

"After waking up for the first time, it is best to rest as soon as possible within half an hour."

"It has been 16 minutes and 47 seconds since Chu Zihang woke up. Principal, you have 13 minutes left to visit him. Excuse me."

“???” Angers couldn’t laugh anymore, his gaze turning strange as he looked at Susie’s little head.

Is this the head of a mixed-race person? Or is there a timer installed in their brain?

He rushed over with flowers as soon as Norma reported that Chu Zihang had woken up, not expecting the time to be so tight.

Susie was very satisfied to feel that the potion had been partially digested. She had to do whatever it took to speed up the digestion of the potion. She could not let Chu Zihang go into danger alone like she did today!
Angers snapped out of his reverie, nodded to Susie to indicate that he understood, and said he wouldn't talk for long. He then walked into the ward with the flowers in his hands: "Tulips not only symbolize passionate love, but also victory and honor."

"This flower is dedicated to the heroes who protected the academy and repelled the invaders."

Chu Zihang naturally couldn't drink porridge at this moment, so he reached out and accepted the flowers: "Thank you, Principal."

Seeing this, Angers pulled over a chair with satisfaction. Just as he was about to sit down, he suddenly turned back to Susie and said, "By the way, Susie, could you do me a small favor?"

"Could we go to the art gallery, to Professor Schneider's office, and tell him that Chu Zihang has woken up? As Chu Zihang's mentor, Professor Schneider cares about him a lot."

Susie understood; Angers clearly wanted to get rid of her so he could talk to Chu Zihang alone. If she stayed, it would only increase Principal Angers' suspicions.

Everything that needed to be explained to Chu Zihang has already been said, and there shouldn't be any problem with leaving.

Susie's mind raced, and she eventually left the room.

Angers slowly sat down and considerately asked, "You can continue eating. How can we let a hero go hungry?"

"Or are you already full? Shall I remove these so you can lie down and rest?"

As Chu Zihang's physical condition improved, his familiar expressionless face returned: "I'll rest after I finish eating."

He then slowly scooped up some white porridge and drank it.

Angers watched Chu Zihang eat with a smile, his smile resembling that of a kind old grandfather secretly giving a younger generation candy.

As he smiled, Angers' eyes suddenly sharpened, and he abruptly asked, "What is the enemy's Word of Power?"
