At 9:00 a.m., the opening ceremony officially began. Xie Shiyi, the dean of the Guidance College, leaders of various departments, and special guests walked into the auditorium together.
Among a group of young teachers, the white-haired Professor Mo Wei stood out. He was already over 70 years old and should have retired long ago, but he had a kind smile on his face, walked with an upright posture, and wore a well-tailored suit and tie. He looked energetic and not at all old.
Professor Mo Wei is an S-level guide, and his spirit body is a huge dolphin. However, the school auditorium has limited space, so his spirit body shrank when entering the auditorium, and it looks not much different from a dolphin in the zoo.
On the rostrum, Dean Xie picked up the microphone and began to speak: "Good morning, teachers and students! Welcome to the Guide Academy of the Capital Star Sanctuary. Today is January 8, 500 of the Star Calendar, and it is also the 300th anniversary of the establishment of the Federal Guide Academy! We are honored to invite Professor Mo Wei, the president of the Federal Central Academy of Sciences and the doctoral supervisor of the life science major of the Federal Knox University, to attend our opening ceremony!"
There was warm applause in the auditorium. Although many students did not know Professor Mo Wei, after hearing the dean's introduction, they all understood that he was a very powerful scientist, and a trace of respect rose in their hearts.
Kamiya, who was sitting next to Yu Ran, whispered, "Professor Mo Wei is an S-level guide, right? His spiritual body is a dolphin. Is his spiritual vision an endless ocean?"
The little guy was obviously bothered by the fact that his mental picture consisted of only a fish tank.
Yu Ran said, "It should be. The spiritual vision of S-level guides is unfathomable. Dolphins are most suitable to grow in the ocean."
Kamiya: "Oh, my goldfish can only stay in the fish bowl, it's so pitiful."
Next to him, roommate Qin Tian interrupted, "Accept reality! My Teddy dog only has a small yard."
After the applause, Dean Xie continued his speech on the stage, and the venue fell silent again. The students listened attentively. Dean Xie was smiling all the time when he spoke, and his temperament was gentle and elegant. Listening to him speak was like being bathed in spring breeze. The children of the Guidance College liked him very much.
After a while, Dean Xie finished his speech and said, "Now, let's give a warm round of applause to our special guest, Professor Mo Wei, to give a speech!"
Applause broke out again. Professor Mo Wei took the microphone with a smile and said, "Good morning, students. I am very happy to attend this opening ceremony..."
At the beginning of the ceremony, the lights in the student seats were turned off, and everyone could only see the podium. In the darkness, in the fourth row from the bottom of the upper level of the auditorium, a student quietly left his seat with his back bent. At the moment he left, a white fox about the size of a human sat in his original seat.
Camilla, who was closest to Yu Ran, seemed to notice the movement. She turned around and looked into the eyes of a fox.
Yu Ran's voice rang in his mind: "I've been here all the time, listen carefully."
Camilla nodded obediently and continued to look towards the big stage.
The white fox was still staying at Yu Ran's position, and everyone around him subconsciously thought that Yu Ran had never left.
This is the benefit of having dual spirits.
For guides above S level, their spirit bodies can leave a certain range from their masters. Yu Ran took the nine-tailed fox with him to carry out the mission, leaving the white fox in his seat as a substitute. His three roommates and all the younger classmates around him would become his most powerful witnesses.
The snow outside the window had stopped. Yu Ran easily climbed over the window, quickly slipped down the auditorium through the air conditioning duct in the blind spot of the surveillance camera, and walked quickly to the location of the isolation wall.
Today is the opening ceremony for freshmen, and sophomores haven't started classes yet. Due to the cold weather and the poor physical condition of the guides, most of them sleep in the dormitory, and occasionally some stand on the balcony to watch the snow. Strangely, those who make eye contact with Yu Ran seem to automatically ignore him, as if they see a ball of transparent air.
The nine-tailed fox not only possesses powerful mental attack power, but also has a special ability - invisibility.
This is also the reason why Yu Ran was able to hide the Nine-Tailed Fox, and even the butterfly interrogator from the Investigation Department forcibly invaded the spiritual world without discovering it. Not only can it hide deep in Yu Ran's mental picture, so that intruders cannot detect it, but it can also use mental suggestion to make people who see it automatically ignore its existence.
The nine-tailed fox hid well. With its help, Yu Ran walked quickly through the Guide Academy without encountering a single "witness".
Yu Ran soon arrived at the wall. He had carefully checked the surveillance here when he took his roommates around the campus yesterday. The surveillance camera in the southeast corner covered most of the area near the wall, but there was a blind spot behind the big pine tree.
Yu Ran dodged behind the pine tree, took out a small folding shovel from his pocket, and dug away the snow nearby. The soil under the snow looked no different from the surrounding soil, but after a hard knock, a loose mark soon appeared. Yu Ran skillfully lifted the floor of the secret passage and jumped down.
The secret passage was narrow and could only accommodate one person. Fortunately, Yu Ran was thin and passed through the secret passage smoothly. On the other side of the isolation wall was the Sentinel Academy. A moment later, under the pine trees of the Sentinel Academy, the snow was pushed away and a person emerged from underground.
If someone saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked. However, the Sentinel Academy was also holding an opening ceremony today. Since Lu Zexuan had a great influence among the Sentinels and was an idol in the minds of many Sentinels, not only did the first-year students go to the scene, but even many second-year students went to the periphery to admire the male god.
There was no one near the isolation wall, and the entire Sentinel Academy campus was empty. It seemed that most of the students had come to see Lu Zexuan.
Yu Ran looked around and shook off the snow on his body.
The nine-tailed fox's invisibility ability can deceive most humans and spirits. But surveillance is a high-tech device, and if Yu Ran appears in the surveillance video, all efforts will be ruined. The biggest difficulty of this mission is not to avoid witnesses, but to avoid surveillance.
While thinking of a solution, Yu Ran walked quickly towards the library.
At this moment, the nine-tailed fox suddenly sounded the alarm: "S-level spiritual body, Lu Zexuan's falcon."
The fox can leave Yu Ran's range to a certain extent, and the white falcon can of course also leave Lu Zexuan's range to a certain extent.
At this time, in the central gymnasium of Sentinel College, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, Lu Zexuan was giving a speech on the big stage: "I am honored to be invited to attend the opening ceremony of the 300th anniversary of Sentinel College. I graduated from this school, and my experience of studying here when I was young is still vivid in my mind. I have always been grateful to the teachers who guided me in Sentinel College. Sentinel College is the place where the Sentinels receive enlightenment education. I hope that my younger brothers and sisters will..."
The man's deep, pleasant voice was amplified by the microphone and clearly transmitted to Yu Ran's ears.
Lu Zexuan himself was giving a speech in the gymnasium, but he released his spirit body to patrol over the school. It seemed that he suddenly received an order from his superiors to attend the opening ceremony. He was confused and worried that something might happen to Sentinel Academy today, so he asked Falcon to help him keep an eye on it.
The S-level falcon is the king of the sky, possessing the fastest flying speed and sharpest vision of all spirits. It can even see the movements of ants on the ground from high in the sky.
During the ceremony, many young sentinels looked up and saw a white falcon with its huge wings spread flying over the stadium.
It has a pair of beautiful white wings that are dozens of meters long. When it spreads its wings and flies, it is like a divine bird in the sky, blocking the light and casting a shadow on the gymnasium.
The students all looked at him with admiration.
"Is that an S-level spirit?"
“So handsome!”
"I heard that General Lu has evolved the ability to fly! S-class sentinels are really strong."
Amid the warm applause in the gymnasium, mixed with some students' discussions, the voices reached Lu Zexuan's ears.
At this moment, the white eagle's eyes suddenly focused, as if it had discovered some target. It looked down in confusion, and then swooped down towards a corner of the Sentinel Academy!
—What a sharp fellow, just like its master. Yu Ran's eyes were cold, and at the moment when the white eagle was about to discover him, the nine-tailed fox's flaming tail suddenly spread out, and its powerful mental power surged to the surroundings like a tide, instantly creating a transparent mental barrier.
White Eagle: “???”
I seem to have discovered something, but also seem to have seen nothing
Yeah, I didn’t see it.
The white eagle was stunned for a second, then spread its wings, turned around and flew away.
Lu Zexuan noticed the movement of his spirit body and asked in his mind: "What's going on?"
White Eagle's voice sounded in his mind: "Nothing, Master, I didn't see anything."
Lu Zexuan: “… ?”
I always feel that its answer is a bit strange. However, if the spirit body is attacked, Lu Zexuan will be able to sense it - it was not attacked just now, and with its sharp vision, if there is anything wrong with the Sentinel Academy, it should not escape its eyes.
Lu Zexuan ignored the fleeting doubts in his mind and continued reading his speech.
Yu Ran looked at the white eagle going away and breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Zexuan's spirit was even stronger than he thought. He actually sensed the existence of the nine-tailed fox, forcing him to expend his mental energy to hide.
It seems that I have to be more cautious when dealing with this kind of S-level spiritual being with keen intuition in the future.
Yu Ran silently put away his mental strength and continued to head towards the library with the nine-tailed fox.
