Imperial Treasure-Chapter 707 - 440: Missing!
_________________________________
The people from MEID themselves were comparable to special agents. Although they couldn’t match the likes of Flower Demon and others who were born into prestigious families with orderly inheritances when it came to martial arts prowess and combat skills, they were superior in physical fitness and killing enemies. They could shoot from afar and engage in close combat; their skill points as versatile PK (player-killer) experts were not to be underestimated. Aside from Ye Zixu, who could cleanly and efficiently take down opponents one by one, the PK difficulty level for Flower Demon had just increased a bit. Therefore! She resorted to a skill point she absolutely disliked and never used in normal circumstances, but in critical moments, it would activate in a minute.
--Hugging the male god’s thigh! (Comparatively speaking, if she could mix with Gong Jiu and become bosom buddies, her moral character was definitely not far off--shameless.)
It was indeed much safer to move around Ye Zixu... Now, she might as well be a target with a sense of security... Come quickly, come; right here at your momma!
Flower Demon and the others joyfully lured and led the MEID people, while Ming Lanyuan’s moves were much more ruthless. Basically, bullets couldn’t get anywhere near her with a flick and a jab, taking them down one by one...
Suddenly! Ming Lanyuan deflected a corpse to her left!
Bang!
A knife lodged itself into the chest cavity of the corpse, piercing through its body and heading straight for her chest with the velocity of a bullet...
Whoosh! Ming Lanyuan swiftly retreated backwards...
She saw the Black-robed Man.
This person was now rapidly running towards her from the opposite teaching building, a few leaps and he was already at the Archaeology Department of Beijing University. Lanyuan was very quick to react, promptly pulling out the knife from the body and flinging it to the other side...
If you’re gonna throw your weapon around, don’t blame me for tossing it even more chaotically!
The Black-robed Man had already reached her, the knife flying... He reached out, and the knife bizarrely came back in a boomerang arc!
"Magnetic Knife!" Ming Lanyuan’s mind suddenly burst with this thought as the opponent’s knife was already slashing towards her...
Not long ago, this person was smiling and offering her a stack of fragrant pancakes...
The opponent was clearly skilled in close combat, and frankly speaking... so was Ming Lanyuan!
As the Western Sword was drawn, Flower Demon really wanted to applaud these two, damn these weapons, each with their own special effects!
Was this a sci-fi movie?
The fight was fierce on the first floor...
Elsewhere, two minutes earlier, Beijing University’s teaching staff numbered no less than fifteen thousand people, and the students from various disciplines came close to thirty thousand. In total, forty-five thousand people were evacuating the campus buildings, with thirty thousand students heading towards The Gate, planning to leave, but they saw a dozen or so SUVs brazenly driving into the school...
"How strange, our school has always forbidden anyone from driving in, not even teachers or professors, let alone the principal. Could it be someone from the government is here?" Teng Yan blurted out, but he didn’t speak loudly. Miao Qiu glanced at him; their group was related to the student administration, so they weren’t going to leave immediately. Instead, they were directing the students to evacuate at the side, preventing a stampede, but they couldn’t find out more about this directive from the principal’s office overhead.
These years their university had been trying to pioneer an autonomous education model for students, so the school authorities rarely interfered with student department affairs, until today. Bypassing the student council altogether, the principal and several directors had contacted them separately...
It was practically a giveaway—there had to be three hundred taels of silver here.
--Something big must have happened!
Beijing University and Qing University were among the most famous in the Nation, with several past Presidents graduating from here. Besides, as the leading figures in education, high officials often came here for inspections...
Perhaps today’s sudden incident was related to that... and actually, a considerable portion of the students at the school were from the capital’s political elite families or wealthy clans. It was normal for them to call and ask their families about the reason before evacuating, but the answers they got were either clueless or direct rebukes to obey and ask no questions...
It seemed the situation was very serious...
Amidst the chaotic crowd of students, Jiang Muxiu stood aside, conspicuously unmoving against the flow of people...
He was clutching his phone, currently in conversation with the person on the other end.
"Muxiu, come back, this isn’t something you can meddle with... The further away from the school, the better."
"A secret operation?"
"Something like that, I can’t get a definite answer for the moment... The scope of my job doesn’t allow for it."
Jiang Muxiu glanced at the license plates of those vehicles... military plates.
He was aware of his family elders’ positions in the government. There were very few operations that they couldn’t get involved in. Even national secrets were not entirely hidden from him. Although they wouldn’t tell him directly, they wouldn’t explicitly state their ignorance either, unless it was...
