I'm having fun in Tokyo

I heard that Chu Zihang was guarding the church when the academy was hacked last night.

He confronted an intruder, exchanging blows with the high-risk Word of Power "King's Flame," severely damaging parts of the church outside its main structure.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

The church windows were all shattered, and the walls were covered with black scorch marks from the flames, as was the dome.

Morikawa Yu withdrew her gaze.

He took out the map he had gotten from Old Tang last time, turned to a page in the library, found the page with the church, memorized the route, and located the underground entrance on the first floor of the church.

Before Swift Step's invisibility disappeared, he activated the combat form of [Nightbringer].

The next moment, a figure with a body as black as a rock sculpture appeared on the spot.

It had a flaming katana at its waist, black shoulder armor with a cold metallic sheen, and a jet-black crown that shimmered with flames and light, resembling a giant horn. Its dark orange eyes shone through its visor, making it look like a tyrannical king.

The messenger of night, taking form!

After transforming, Morikawa Yu didn't hesitate and rushed straight to the entrance of the underground passage, wielding the Black Flame Katana to cleave the floor and break into the passage.

Meanwhile, in the principal's office, Principal Angers was watching the surveillance footage projected by Norma.

On the way to the restaurant, the Lionheart Society and the Student Council are facing off.

"Mori Kawakami," Professor Guderian and his group stood in the middle, preventing either side from making any rash moves.

Professor Schneider stood beside his desk, also watching the surveillance footage.

He appeared cold on the surface, but his eyes held a hint of worry: "Principal, will it really be effective for you to send Chu Zihang and the others on this mission?"

Principal Angers picked up his teacup, took a sip, and shook his head: "It might work, it might not."

"But in any case, Professor Morikawa is not a big suspect. It's fine to let the three of them test him out. There won't be any major problems."

As he spoke, he looked at the surveillance footage and frowned again, seeing "Mori Kawayu" standing between the Lionheart Club and the student council crowd.

Is Professor Morikawa really not a strong suspect?

They both possess the power of wind, both use ancient Japanese sword techniques, both have powerful bloodlines and strength, and their disappearances and reappearances are so coincidentally timed.

If Professor Morikawa isn't "Arashi Ryu," then who is?

He stared intently at "Mori Kawakami" in the surveillance footage, his eyes narrowing.

Suddenly, Norma's voice rang out in the office.

"Warning! Warning! Warning!"

"The high-risk target 'Lanlong' has appeared and is infiltrating the academy's underground passage. Its target is suspected to be the 'Ice Cellar Exhibition Hall'!"

"Repeated! Repeated! The high-risk target 'Storm Dragon' has appeared and is infiltrating the academy's underground passage. The target is suspected to be the 'Ice Cellar Exhibition Hall'!"

Professor Schneider was startled: "Principal!"

Principal Angers was also taken aback.

He looked at "Mori Kawabata" still standing there in the video and thought, how could this be?

However, Norma has already provided surveillance footage of the underground passage.

In the video, a figure with a body like a black rock sculpture, a head covered with a black crown that glows with flames and light, and wearing a mask, flashes through the passage, leaving a trail of afterimages before quickly disappearing.

Although Norma kept switching between monitoring devices, it was so fast that it took four or five devices to capture its presence even once.

Then, it noticed the surveillance camera, casually swung the katana at its waist, and unleashed something that shattered the monitor screen, instantly cutting off the surveillance footage.

The subsequent surveillance footage was all the same.

Principal Angers couldn't help but look at "Mori Kawakami" who was still standing in the same spot in the surveillance footage on the other side.

Although he found it hard to believe, he couldn't explain what was happening.

Finally, he took a deep breath: "Norma!"

"School-wide broadcast! Level 2 alert! Everyone, prepare to deal with high-risk targets!"

Norma reacted quickly.

At the same time, the floor beneath Principal Angers' feet trembled slightly, causing his desk, the person sitting behind it, and Professor Schneider beside it to sink rapidly.

Soon, the principal and Professor Schneider disappeared from the office.

Few people know this.

In the principal's office, there is an elevator that leads directly to the basement of the college.

This elevator is the principal's desk, and it can take you to the area below at any time, reaching the "ice cellar" and other places!

......

In the underground passage of the church at Kassel College, a figure darted past, leaving a trail of wind and flames in its wake.

He continuously swung his black fire katana, creating gusts of wind, and shattered every surveillance camera in the passage several meters ahead of time. Then, he moved quickly, crossing the passage at a speed far beyond what ordinary people could comprehend.

But soon, he paused and then took out the map from his hand.

It won't work if we keep going.

Although he memorized the route to the "ice cellar" from the map, the map differed from the actual underground passage, and there were many almost identical forks along the way.

He needed to check the map and confirm the passage numbers to make sure he hadn't gone to the wrong place.

Having determined the passage number, Morikawa Yu took another step.

However, as soon as he entered the passage, he saw a flash of light appear before him, aimed at his chest.

Morikawa Yu swung his sword upwards, trying to deflect the blade's light, but he was too late and was pierced by the swift and fierce blade.

However, the protective wind force firmly safeguarded him.

The blade's light was blocked by the wind from penetrating beyond the black armor on his chest, unable to advance an inch.

Through this, Morikawa Yuya saw the true face of the sword.

It was a folding knife.

The blade is not long, but it gleams with a sharp, cold light and has patterns from the cold forging process.

There is only one person who can use this folding knife: Hilbert Jean Angers, the current dean of the Kassel College.

And right now, the one who wanted to plunge the folding knife into his heart was indeed Principal Angers.

Morikawa Yu took a deep breath, took a step back, and immediately reversed the direction of the black fire katana he had just raised, slashing fiercely at Principal Angers.

Principal Angers originally wanted to retract his folding knife, which had lost all its power, and try again to see if he could pierce Morikawa Yu's heart with it. However, seeing the black fire katana coming at him, he had no choice but to retreat and dodge.

Morikawa Yu slashed down with his sword, adjusted his pace, and slashed forward again, not giving the principal a chance to release his Word of Power.

But the principal had already released the Word of Power: Time Zero.

In his eyes, everything was so slow, as if time itself had slowed down.

The swirling winds and flickering sparks around Morikawa Yu were just like that.

Below zero time, even with Morikawa Yu's terrifying speed and reaction ability, as well as his status being close to that of a top-tier high-ranking demon, he could not keep up with Principal Angers' speed.

Although his strength far surpassed that of the principal, his speed was much slower, making it difficult for him to launch effective attacks and defenses.

This is also why Principal Angers was able to successfully launch a sneak attack for the first time, almost injuring Morikawa Yu.

Morikawa Yuya also realized this.

Instead of advancing and attacking to force Principal Angers to retreat, he took the initiative to back down.

Although he was much slower than Principal Angers, he could still clearly see Principal Angers's attack, so he wasn't entirely without a chance of defense.

He could have tried to counterattack, or risk taking another blow from the principal using the protective aura around him, while simultaneously striking the principal in return.

The principal might not be able to break through his remaining protective wind, but he certainly wouldn't be able to withstand his slash.

Moreover, he was using a katana, which gave him an advantage over the principal's folding knife.

With these thoughts in mind, Morikawa Yu raised the Blackfire Katana and placed it in the middle section, protecting himself.

This move will be very familiar to anyone who has played Sekiro.

It's just a regular parry, which can be used to "repel" enemy attacks.

Of course, in the hands of some people, this move becomes the "knife-shaking technique," which has a very mocking effect.

Morikawa Yu did not brandish his sword, but simply assumed a defensive stance.

The principal intended to retaliate, but upon seeing Morikawa Yu's defensive stance, he hesitated and stopped.

He stared intently at Morikawa Yu, at the crown on Morikawa Yu's head and the dark orange eyes beneath the mask, and asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"

Morikawa Yu did not answer, but simply shook her head.

He had already tried it when he got home. His voice in the Nightbringer form was different from his original voice, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear the similarities.

Speaking out now will only expose yourself.

As he shook his head, Morikawa Yu thought of something else.

His purpose in coming here was not to fight Principal Angers, but to clear his name and continue to infiltrate the Kassel College.

His goal has now been achieved.

Principal Angers was completely bewildered when he faced the person in front of him and the person in the restaurant who was actually impersonating him.

Thinking of this, Morikawa Yushin smiled and used Swift Step, merging her figure with the wind and disappearing from the spot.

The principal of Angers suddenly disappeared from sight.

I'm not feeling well and need to take a day off. I'm very sorry, I'll make it up to you tomorrow.

Chapter 417 Chekhov's Gun (First Update)

"Norma!"

Principal Angers paused for a moment, then quickly called out.

Norma's voice also came from his phone: "Backup monitoring activated, tracking target movements, analyzing the action logic of high-risk targets..."

"Analysis results: 'Lanlong' may not have left the underground passage. There is a 36% probability that it went to the underground 'ice cellar', a 53% probability that it lurked in the vicinity, an 8% probability that it returned to the surface, and a 3% probability that it left the academy."

“Compare with the records left when ‘Lanlong’ last appeared.”

"The shortest interval between its disappearance and reappearance is ten seconds, and the longest interval is twenty-three seconds. The shortest interval between its appearance and disappearance is one minute and three seconds, and the longest interval is one minute and twenty-two seconds."

"The shortest interval between disappearances and reappearances was 14 seconds, and the longest interval was 27 seconds. The shortest interval between appearances and disappearances was 1 minute and 2 seconds, and the longest interval was 1 minute and 13 seconds."

"It is inferred that its ability is to 'hide oneself' for about ten to thirty seconds, with a one-minute interval."

"Initiating correction of the function model, analyzing the target's movement trajectory..."

Morikawa Yu was about to leave when she heard this and couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

He turned to look at the principal, who was still standing guard.

His Wind Walk invisibility lasts for two minutes, and after it ends, it can be recast. The wind momentum required to recover takes at least eight seconds.

Norma deduced that the duration was about ten to thirty seconds, with an interval of one minute.

But this was a result he deliberately misled.

He knew that Norma was the AI ​​mainframe of Kassel College, the world's most advanced supercomputer, and that the entire college's surveillance was an extension of her will, with all data being analyzed by her.

However, she can only analyze known data; things that have never appeared before are not within her analysis.

Therefore, he deliberately concealed his strength to mislead Norma.

However, Norma's next words stunned him.

"warn!"

"According to the analysis of the latest recorded monitoring data, Professor Morikawa's similarity to the high-risk target 'Lanlong' has increased to 87%."

"His resemblance to himself has dropped to 96.6%."

At the same time, Norma projected three images.
