Bailang briefly told Fengdi about his investigation results and said that he needed to contact the people at the National University to confirm whether this research was done by a friendly unit.

"Ms. Olicia, wait a moment. I will ask you a question now and give you an answer later."

Bagpipe hung up the phone and dialed the contact number of the person in charge of the National University. She hoped from the bottom of her heart that the place Miss Olisia mentioned was related to the National University, so that all problems could be solved directly.

The call was connected and Bagpipe repeated White Wolf's words.

Strangely, the respondent on the other end did not give an answer immediately, but said that he did not know and needed to ask, and asked her to wait for a moment.

This shouldn't be the case, Bagpipe muttered to himself. This area was designated as an assessment site for the National University four years ago, and the relevant team leaders are the ones who know the situation here best. How could they not know about such a big thing at the research institute?

On the other side, in a red tent at the base, all three leaders of the National University gathered together with solemn expressions.

The middle-aged Fei Lin who was sitting on the right was the first to speak: "It should be correct. The people in the institute are probably the ones who suddenly disappeared three years ago."

The person in charge on the left tapped the table with his hand and said slowly, "The problem now is that the Guards Academy has discovered that place and is waiting for our response. Lord, please tell me how to deal with it."

"Call me Vice President." The Caprini man sitting in the middle said coldly. He rubbed his forehead in distress, then crossed his hands and spoke as if talking to himself, "If our guess is correct, the expert researcher Farm who disappeared three years ago may be related to this institute, but he is backed by the Atrias family. If the things in the institute are valued by some top bigwigs, it will be difficult to deal with."

"There's no need to say 'what if'. The probability is actually much higher than we thought." The middle-aged Filin continued, "Four years ago, I had the honor of working with Researcher Farm for two months. During that time, I saw people from the Atrias family contacting him more than once. About a month after we separated, I heard that he mysteriously disappeared."

"That's really troublesome." The person in charge on the left who was originally calm also started to have a headache. "People in our academy don't have to be afraid of ordinary nobles, but once the Drake royal family is involved..."

The Caprini thought for a long time and concluded: "In any case, we cannot take the risk of offending the royal family, and the bad reputation of abandoning students may also ruin our teaching career. Everyone, I have an idea. Now you can help me get through to the bagpipe lady's communicator."

The persons in charge sitting on the left and right sides looked at each other and sighed helplessly. The middle-aged Filin on the right handed the communicator to the Caprini.

After waiting for a long time, Bagpipe finally got the news. She answered the phone with great anticipation and heard a mature and steady voice.

"Ms. Bagpipe, we want to thank you for being so diligent and considerate of the students. We are aware of your previous questions. Unfortunately, the situation may involve confidential research projects. Even if we apply for relevant permissions immediately, the fastest response will take several hours. This is the system of the academy. No matter how anxious we are, there is nothing we can do. After all, we are just a group of researchers who only hope that our students can be safe and sound. Therefore, we can only ask you for the specific matters. Once the academy has a reply, we will notify you immediately."

After the communicator was hung up, Fengpi stood there hesitating for a moment. She instinctively wanted to act according to her own wishes, but the unusual situation on the side of the person in charge of the National University made her hesitate. She vaguely realized that there would be unknown risks in doing so.

The next moment, her thoughts suddenly became clear again, and she secretly laughed at herself for hesitating about such a thing.

The two students had been missing for more than ten hours, and her mission was to protect the students' safety. Everything was self-evident. Why should she hesitate? She could spend a few hours waiting for a response from the National University, but could the students in danger wait?

She quickly answered Ms. Olicia's phone call and gave an order in the name of the chief operator: "You are to enter the institute immediately. The primary goal of your action is to protect the students of the National University. The guidelines for your actions are based on the military special operations regulations."

"Military Special Operations Regulations?" Bai Lang hung up the phone and looked at Qin Liu in confusion.

"Some of the academy's regulations are consistent with those of the military. The bagpipes are talking about the Royal Guard Academy's Special Operations Regulations. The main principle is to act with the purpose of completing the mission objectives."

Qin Liu paused for a moment, then continued with an unnatural expression: "Of course, if we encounter issues that cannot be negotiated, we should follow the humanitarian principles and try to reduce, uh, unnecessary casualties."

Volume 4: Chapter 115 New Species

After discussing Victoria's military regulations with Miss Qin Liu, Bai Lang lamented the way this military superpower acted, while imagining in his mind, if there was no civil strife in Victoria, what would the situation on the Terra continent be like?

From an international perspective, Columbia certainly has no chance to grow and develop. From a small perspective, many Victorian companies will not rush to leave their homeland and move to other parts of Terra. Here we can mention the Dagu Group of Shi Huaiya's family. It was originally from Victoria, but now it is almost a local company in Longmen.

So, capitalists are all bad guys with unstable positions. They will run away as soon as they see the situation is not good, she complained in her heart, but the next moment, she remembered that Shi Huaiya treated her well, old man Carolingian also helped her everywhere, and there were many other things related to her, and she couldn't help feeling guilty again.

Forget it, forget it, why think about these things? Just complete your tasks honestly. For example, now, finding Aina and the others is what you should do.

White Wolf began to focus on other things.

She looked around, thinking freely in her heart:

This research institute seemed to have been abandoned for some time, otherwise they wouldn't even have repaired the broken lights.

Aina and the others should have gone deeper, right?

By the way, Miss Qin Liu is much quieter today. She used to like talking a lot. Is she in a bad mood?

It shouldn't be. After all, nothing special happened. I guess he was too tired. After all, he walked for a whole night yesterday. It seems that everyone is the same. I thought that Vaifan had such a good physique that he couldn't feel tired.

She looked back at Miss Qin Liu and found that her hair was messy, which was absolutely unimaginable in the past. The contrast between the two images made her feel very uncomfortable. She even had the idea of ​​helping her tidy up, but it was just a thought. Now was not the time to tidy up her appearance.

Unlike Aina and Bo Lu who were nervous all the way, Bai Lang and Qin Liu relaxed after realizing that they were in an abandoned research institute. They moved more than twice as fast as Aina and others before.

About an incense stick of time later, they came to the end of the corridor and found a fork in the road. There was an elevator in the middle and a lounge with the lights on on the left. But it was a mess inside and there was a table broken in two at the door.

The room on the right was pitch black, and there was a foul smell mixed with fragrance wafting out. The white wolf had a sensitive sense of smell and was always afraid of strange smells, so he had to pull his collar over his nose to try to block the smell.

As they arrived, footsteps were heard from the dark room on the right, as if the people inside heard them coming.

Aina and Bo Lu? Bai Lang thought, no, why would a normal person stay in a room with that smell?

But the strange thing is that the guy who came out of the room looked like a normal person. He was wearing a loose yellow cleaning suit and a blue hat on his head. He held his left and right hands together and walked slowly towards the outside with a hunched back.

"Hello." White Wolf greeted the visitor from a distance.

Qin Liu was also observing the cleaner carefully. Due to the different angles she and Bai Lang were standing at, she could see the other person's side. There seemed to be something strange on his arm. She squinted her eyes to identify it and confirmed that it was a whole piece of crystal red, and there were more of the same red parts.

This was not a normal human being, alarm bells went off in her mind.

At this moment, White Wolf had already walked towards the cleaner and asked as he walked, "Hello, have you seen two students coming here?"

Qin Liu was anxious, and stretched his right hand to his waist to draw the sword, while shouting: "Olicia, be careful!"

As she shouted, the 'cleaner' suddenly looked up, revealing the hideous red crystal cluster on his forehead. He bent down and pounced on the white wolf like a beast, thrusting forward with two arms that were like Originium swords.

It's over. This was Qin Liu's subconscious thought.

However, her eyes showed her an incredible scene for the second time.

She saw Olisia calmly put her hands on her waist, and then there was a flash of red sword light. The next moment, the attacking enemy was cut in half from the waist, and the upper and lower bodies fell heavily to the ground.

She didn't even see how the other party drew his sword.

"Don't worry, it's okay." White Wolf held the sword and turned back with a gentle smile.

Qin Liu nodded awkwardly, silently sheathed the sword, and thought to himself:

It's okay, Qin Liu, it's okay. Even if Miss Olicia doesn't need you to protect her, you can still help with other things, right? There's no need for a guardian knight, right?

She kept comforting herself, but she felt more painful and sad.

White Wolf picked up the corpse on the ground with his sword and turned it over, revealing the opponent's entire face. The face was no longer complete, and there were Originium crystals penetrating from the eye sockets of both eyes. In other words, the opponent's actions just now might have been based on hearing.

In addition, even though the body was cut off at the waist, no blood flowed from it. The whole person had been semi-crystallized. White Wolf stabbed the opponent's arm with his sword and found that only a faint white mark was left.

She secretly thanked her luck in her heart that the opponent's body was not as highly crystallized as her arms, otherwise, if she chopped with her sword, it would most likely be bounced away.

Theoretically, the higher the purity of the Originium crystal, the better its resistance to Originium techniques. If you want to destroy a piece of pure Originium, pure brute force will be more useful than any enchanted sword.

Why did such a creature appear? Could this also be a research institute for forbidden experiments?

She had seen similar experimental subjects in Rhine Life, but they were not exactly the same. The appearance of Rhine Life's experimental subjects had completely deviated from the human category, but they retained human will. This one retained the basic human appearance, but it seemed that only the instincts of wild beasts were left.

When White Wolf turned his head to check the legs of the experimental subject, Qin Liu noticed that the upper body of the corpse seemed to move slightly. She was quite confident in her eyesight and did not think it was a problem of dazzle, so she concentrated and observed carefully.

At this moment, the corpse's arm suddenly raised up and stabbed at the white wolf with lightning speed. The white wolf was checking something. Although he heard the sound of the wind, he had no time to react because the distance was too close.

At the critical moment, Qin Liu stabbed the subject's arm with a sword.

A 'ding' sound.

Qin Liu's sword was deflected by the Originium crystal on his arm, but the attacking arm also deviated from its direction, causing Bai Lang to roll over and barely avoid the attack.

As soon as she hid in a safe area, Bai Lang turned around and drew her sword, repeatedly slashing at the crystal corpse that was trying to climb up. She used the Originium technique to destroy all the joints on the opponent's body, and finally saw that the organism stopped moving.

This is a completely different creature, she thought with lingering fear, turning her head to look at Qin Liu.

The other party also looked frightened, but for some reason, Bai Lang felt that Miss Qin Liu seemed quite happy.

It must be an illusion, because this is not something to be happy about.

Volume 4: Chapter 116 Rescue Operation

In order to ensure the safety of the surroundings, Bailang and Qinliu first entered the dark room on the right where the "cleaner" was to check. They found the switch with the help of the flashlight.

When the lights came on, Qin Liu's attention was immediately attracted by the strange facilities in the culture room. However, Bai Lang, who had been in Rhine Life, was no longer surprised by these things and just began to look through the experiment record book carefully.

She has confirmed that this is the Originium Biological Laboratory. The internal record book may contain information related to the changes in this laboratory. She can use the information above to predict possible dangers. Even if it is not enough to do this, she can secretly bring the experimental records to Rhodes Island. It would be a good choice to give them to Kal'tsit or Hemer.

Then, Qin Liu discovered something strange.

Miss Olicia's face turned pale from the smell in the culture room, and she kept blocking her nose with the sleeve of her right hand, but she was still stubborn and wanted to toss around in there, refusing to go out.

Qin Liu felt distressed and confused, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and persuaded:

"Miss Olicia, if you want to find something, I'll help you. Please go out for a while. The smell in here is very unpleasant for Rupert."

White Wolf blocked his mouth and nose and said in a muffled voice: "It's not something necessary. Forget it. Maybe there is nothing at all. Let's go out first."

The two left the culture room and walked to the room on the right. The conditions here were much better, with good lighting and no strange smells. It just looked messy, as if someone had taken the furniture inside and smashed it.

Qin Liu walked in front and moved the table that was blocking the door but had a big hole in the middle, so that Bai Lang could go in.

"Wait a moment." As Bai Lang entered the room, her eyes were fixed on the big hole in the middle of the table. She asked Qin Liu to explore the room, and she bent down and picked up a piece of brown crystal the size of a rice grain from the wood chips in the hole with her gloved right hand.

Her heart sank as she realized that the worst thing might have happened. Aina or Bo Lu might have come into conflict with the infected body. Once an infected body of this level caused damage, the consequences would be disastrous.

"There are a lot of crystals of human infection on the gap. The table should have been broken by the thing we encountered just now. I just don't know if it is the same thing. It's hard to tell from the color of the crystals. I'm only worried that Aina and the others have come into conflict with the infection."

Qin Liu had already looked around the room. After hearing what Bai Lang said, she came over, touched the surface of the table with her fingers, looked at her fingertips, and said, "There is a layer of dust on the table, but these sawdust are all new, and the surroundings are quite messy. You are right. I am afraid that Miss Aina and the others have already dealt with the infected body."

White Wolf said calmly, "I haven't seen any blood yet, so the situation may not be too bad. Let's go to the room inside and take a look."

There are three interconnected rooms in the lounge. The first two rooms are a mess, and only the last one is relatively tidy.

White Wolf walked around the innermost room and found no useful information. She speculated that Aina Bolu might have taken the elevator to another experimental floor, so she said:

"Let's take the elevator down. There shouldn't be anything here."

With a 'bang', there was a sound of something heavy hitting the ground in the corner of the room. Bai Lang turned around quickly, holding the sword in his right hand, staring at the cabinet in the corner, and asked sternly: "Who's over there?"

"It's me." Bo Lu, whose eyes had already turned red from crying, pushed aside the box in front of her and looked at the two people standing at the door. She opened her mouth, as if she had thousands of words to say to the unexpected rescuer, but when the words came to her lips, only a few words with a tearful tone remained:

"Save Sister Aina."

Qin Liu walked to the cabinet and helped to pick up Bo Lu who was lying on it. Afterwards, she and Bai Lang finally managed to calm each other down, and understood the general context of the matter through Bo Lu.

After listening to Bo Lu's words, Qin Liu said thoughtfully: "So, there may be more than a dozen infected bodies with the same infection, and Miss Aina ran away alone five hours ago in order to lure away the one that appeared here?"

Bo Lu nodded silently, big tears falling silently.

Qin Liu frowned. The infected bodies in this place were very difficult to deal with. Aina was an ordinary person who didn't even master the skills of Originium. She went to the more dangerous lower level while being chased. The result was predictable.

She turned her head to see what White Wolf meant.

She did not notice the expression of the White Wolf. The moment she turned her head, she saw him walk up to her, hold the crying Filin girl in his arms, pat her back with his right hand, and said softly:

"Xiao Bolu, it's great that you can do this in this situation. I don't dare to say anything for sure, but I promise that as long as there is a glimmer of hope for Aina, I will do my best to rescue her, no matter where she is. So, don't cry first, okay."

However, Bo Lu cried even harder because of this. She was afraid that her emotions would hinder Bai Lang, so she took two steps back and wiped her tears with her arms desperately, sobbing, "Yes, I'm sorry, I shouldn't do this, I'm too stupid, I don't know anything, but Sister Aina, Sister Aina, Miss Olicia, you must save her."

Bai Lang nodded slightly, reached out and touched Bo Lu's head, then turned to look at Qin Liu and said seriously, "Qin Liu, take Bo Lu away from here first and take him to a safe place. Leave Aina's affairs to me."

"But..." Qin Liu was anxious and instinctively wanted to reject it, but she suddenly thought of something, so she nodded sadly and said bitterly: "I understand, don't worry, I will protect Bo Lu and won't cause you any trouble."

Bai Lang, who was eager to carry out the rescue mission, naturally had no time to pay attention to the mood of his teammates. Seeing Qin Liu nodded in agreement, she felt relieved and walked directly towards the central elevator with her sword in hand.

The elevator door slowly closed. Looking at the green numbers constantly jumping in the elevator, for some reason, White Wolf suddenly remembered the situation two years ago when he went to the Rhine Life Laboratory to rescue Ifrit. Everything at that time was still vivid in his mind, as clear as if it happened yesterday.

She remembered how nervous she was at that time. Even with external help, every step was difficult. But today, she was alone, but if something blocked her way, she would not mind using sword and fire to cut a path through it.

Volume 4: Chapter 117 Rescue Operation II

Qin Liu led Bo Lu slowly forward in the deserted corridor. Despite her and Bai Lang's comfort, Bo Lu, who suffered a serious psychological trauma, could not recover immediately. Along the way, Qin Liu noticed that he was still secretly wiping away tears.

She knew that it was pointless to continue comforting, as some things had to be resolved by the person involved themselves. Therefore, she pretended not to see it, walked in front in silence, and left the space behind her for Bo Lu.

Perhaps influenced by the other party's sad mood, Qin Liu found that her mood was getting lower and lower. She kept recalling the various things related to Miss Olicia, and every detail made her heart sad like a needle.

Jane Willow, you are too weak. You are not qualified to be a guardian knight. Whether in the academy or in Xiaoqiu County, you have not really implemented the principle of hard training. If, if I had worked harder in the past, wouldn't it be me who went to save Miss Aina today?

In that way, she could bid farewell to Miss Olicia tenderly and with great pride, letting her take Bo Lu to a safe area first, while she herself would fearlessly enter the dangerous area full of dangers. This was what a guardian knight should do, but what about now?

Qin Liu fell into endless regret and contemplation.

On the other side, Bai Lang found that she could not control which floor the elevator would stop at. The elevator seemed to have been pre-programmed and automatically sent her to the bottom floor of the laboratory.

Including the surface, the experimental base has a total of four floors. Bai Lang herself didn't know which floor to find Aina. Since the elevator stopped at the negative third floor, she was happy to start from this floor.

Exciting things are waiting for her on the way.

The moment the elevator door opened, two infected bodies covered in crystals blocked the door and pounced on her.
