"Is your senior brother having a one-on-one fight in the church?" he asked.
“Senior brother… Zihang?” Susie realized and nodded: “Professor Schneider said that everything here is under your command.”
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Xia Mu walked back to the center of the library and said to everyone, "Stop the established defensive lines, everyone hide, clear the path from the ice cellar to the exit, and do not block it. Do not attack without my order, no matter what you see. Also, remove all live ammunition and replace it with metal-free Friga bullets."
The Lionheart Society's elites looked at each other, remaining silent for a moment.
"Are you sure?" Susie couldn't help but ask.
“Yes, listen to me,” Xia Mu said. “I feel really bad. Since you’ve been transferred to Group C, I have to take responsibility for you.”
"it is good!"
Susie looked up at everyone and said, "Listen to Xia Mu, do it immediately!"
Soon, the Lionheart elites took turns returning to their positions and dispersed to various hidden locations.
"You have quite a reputation in the Lionheart Society," Xia Mu remarked.
Susie twirled a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled, "Zihang doesn't handle things. I usually manage everything. Once you officially join, I'll hand over some of the affairs to you."
“I…” Xia Mu avoided her gaze and coughed lightly, “It’s fine if I’m the same as my senior brother.”
Susie couldn't help but laugh again: "A hands-off manager? I'm not going to wait for you to take the position and then be your deputy. You'll have to find someone to manage you yourself."
"Uh…"
Natsuki couldn't help but let his gaze drift towards Erii.
"You're going to just leave everything to a woman too?" Susie pouted.
"Can I?" Erii's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Another silly girl," Susie sighed.
Xia Mu laughed: "You became the vice president just because of your senior brother?"
Susie paused for a moment, then quickly shook her head: "No."
“My senior brother is a very reserved person. If you keep hiding your true intentions, it will definitely not lead to anything,” Xia Mu said.
Susie lowered her eyes and couldn't help but sigh: "We've only known each other for two days, right? It's so obvious, isn't it?"
“Yes, it’s obvious.” Xia Mu nodded.
"Why does he trust you so much?" Susie asked earnestly, raising her eyes.
Xia Mu thought for a moment: "Because of some special experiences, he has something weighing on his mind. I am related to that matter, so he trusts me, like a source of comfort and hope."
"Is that so...? That sounds like he's much better than me." Susie chuckled self-deprecatingly.
"Don't be jealous of me, okay?" Xia Mu said, both amused and exasperated.
Susie chuckled softly and looked at Erii: "After you officially join the club, you'll be with me. I'll teach you how to handle things this year."
Erii looked up at Natsuki.
Xia Mu nodded.
"Thank you."
Erii thanked her politely.
Susie's lips twitched, and she looked at Xia Mu: "You're amazing."
"Senior brother is just a stubborn brat," Xia Mu said softly.
Seeing such a vivid Susie, thinking about her profound love, and the tragic ending of never being able to remember her beloved until her death, I wish I could cross dimensions and slash that thief.
"You brat?" Susie chuckled.
“Yes, he’s hard to open, but once you do, you’ll be devoted to him until death,” Xia Mu said.
Susie's smile faded, and she lowered her eyes, lost in thought.
"What...what are they doing? How can they chat like this?" Manstein swallowed nervously.
In the library's control room, Schneider, Guderian, and Manstein were listening to the battle reports from three different battlefields.
"We are a college with strict rules, and our students should be disciplined!"
Manstein was heartbroken. "But look at what our elites are doing! Caesar Gattuso, the student council president, is playing a cowboy game with his rivals to see who can draw their gun faster. Is he trying to please that long-legged woman? Chu Zihang, the president of the Lionheart Society, is chatting with the enemy! And the fight only started because of Xia Mu's song! And what is Xia Mu doing? Discussing with Susie how to win over Chu Zihang?"
“I can understand what Caesar and Chu Zihang did,” Schneider said. “They were trying to understand the enemy.”
"Is it necessary to spend time understanding the enemy at a time like this? The other side must have dragon blood, otherwise they wouldn't be able to face these two head-on," Manstein said. "The bloodline advantages of both sides are evenly matched, we can't take the risk!"
“No,” Schneider shook his head. “Have you noticed? Neither the battle in Valhalla nor the battle in the cathedral has the other side been in a hurry.”
"They're stalling for time!" Guderian suddenly realized.
“Yes! So now we need to focus our defense on the library and block the last entrance.” Schneider pointed to the screen, where twenty or thirty points of light converged in the direction of the library.
"Such a crucial battle, yet Caesar and Chu Zihang are both feinting attacks, while the new student Xia Mu is facing the real enemy?" Guderian covered his eyes and shook his head. "Is this really alright?"
Schneider stared intently at the screen, listening to the sounds coming back from the three different locations.
"do not know…"
Chapter 151 Clash with the Dragon King
"boom!"
Just then, everyone felt a tremor beneath their feet.
"Silence! Take cover!"
The Lionheart Society elites connected to Group C's channel and heard Xia Mu's instructions.
Susie suppressed all her emotions, nimbly leaped up, flipped over, and went up to the second floor, hiding in a corner.
Natsuki then pulled Erii and hid in another direction.
From the library entrance to the elevator shaft deep underground, he ensured that no one was on the route, guaranteeing unobstructed passage.
A few moments later, a piercing alarm sounded from the pitch-black underground.
Everyone felt something was wrong; it felt like their heart was being gripped by a hand, their blood flow seemed to be accelerating, and their breathing was becoming increasingly difficult.
Why is there so much pressure? It's like something... has emerged from the darkness of the underground!
"elder brother."
The childish voice seemed to rise from the depths of a well.
A scorching wind rushed in, and the bright light shone painfully into everyone's eyes through their eyelids, filling their noses with a strong burning smell.
"Pounce!"
At Xia Mu's cry, the elites fell to the ground in unison.
In that instant, something pressed down on them, almost stopping their hearts and making them gasp for breath.
The oppressive feeling was fleeting, but in that brief moment, they felt as if they were in a scorching hell.
"What...what's going on?" Susie's trembling voice came through.
"do not know."
Natsuki and Erii stood there, and a layer of solid ice in front of them gradually melted.
The library, which had been pitch black, was now emitting a faint light.
The place seemed to have been ravaged by fire and wind, with thick smoke all around. Rows of bookshelves were broken in the middle, the jagged edges gleaming with a dark red light.
The hard, old oak was burning slowly, and it was unclear what had ignited it. Over the years, the oak had become as hard as pig iron.
“Norma, turn on the light,” Susie said.
With her A-level bloodline privileges, Norma would naturally obey her orders.
Without Natsuki, who is of S-rank, speaking.
"The system is malfunctioning. Calling Norma won't work; only EVA will." The girl's playful voice rang out.
Susie looked confused: "What happened?"
Xia Mu looked up, his tone not that of someone addressing artificial intelligence, but rather that of someone addressing a girl: "EVA, could you turn on the light for me?"
Rice ball reading
"Okay, just a moment, I'll fix it for you soon."
They actually heard the sound of fingers snapping.
"Beep... Click... Beep beep..."
A strange electrical crackling sound rang out, and the group looked at each other in the dim light.
"Mission accomplished."
A bright light shone through, seemingly from an emergency light source. It wasn't particularly bright, but it was enough for them to see the inside of the library.
There's a hole in the floor.
Erii pointed ahead with a charming smile.
Xia Mu looked and saw holes lined up in two rows on the floor, like... two rows of footprints.
But each footprint burned through the teak floor, revealing the gray cement floor underneath.
Susie stepped on the footprints and tested them. "If they were left by a person, then it was someone who was about 1.6 meters tall, and their stride was about two-thirds of mine."
"Look at that." Erii pointed behind her.
More than twenty eyes focused on it, and then everyone gasped in unison.
“What monster…” Susie murmured.
They all understood what the "ding" sound was—it was the elevator arriving.
Presumably due to a campus communication outage, the door remained closed, but there was a hole in it, clearly melted through.
The edge of the cave emitted a dazzling light, and the molten steel dripped onto the ground.
