Xu Le was stunned. According to his identity, this order was not correct!
Shouldn’t it be the Zion progressive representative, then the researcher representative, then the student representative, and finally the international student representative
Is there anyone who can team up here
However, Li Wen just narrowed his eyes, did not give a direct answer, and walked towards the podium.
Regarding Xu Le's arrangement, there have been some voices within the Zion Progressive during this period. The matter of the mental energy mask is a major secret.
But this secret will be revealed completely today.
Some of his subordinates also suggested cracking the mental energy blocker, but Li Wen rejected them all.
His understanding was very simple. As long as Xu Le didn't frown and didn't express any difficulties, it meant that Zion would have a stable production of mental energy shields. Stability was the most important thing for a city-state.
When it comes to deciphering something, if you succeed, you'll be happy. But if you fail and end up having a falling out with Xu Le, that would be a really bad situation.
What's more, no one knows whether Li Wen has actually deciphered the mental energy mask. He just said that he has never deciphered it.
Li Wen slowly walked up to the podium, and the host of the exchange meeting immediately said enthusiastically:
“Today we are honored to have Minister Li Wen from the Zion Progressive Guild here. Minister Li Wen will announce a major research breakthrough today.
According to reliable information I received earlier, this is a major research breakthrough that will change the entire historical landscape of Zion.
Now, let us hand the podium over to Minister Lee Wen."
Warm applause broke out. The five words "Zion Progressors" are what the students of Zion University of Science and Technology truly aspire to be.
It is the workplace they have always dreamed of and a beacon of technological development for the entire Zion.
If a scholar wants to make an academic breakthrough, the Zion Progressive Guild is naturally the best place.
Li Wen walked up to the podium in a gentle and serious manner. Xu Le watched him from a distance and found that he looked more like Brother Shu Ren when he stood on the podium.
Li Wen cleared his throat and waved to the many students, politicians, and researchers from the private studio who were invited.
The surroundings gradually became quiet.
Li Wen picked up his speech manuscript and took a look. The content was too long and profound. This speech should have been written by Secretary Liu.
But he felt that such a long speech should not be given in front of young people, as they would fall asleep.
What they want more is something that excites and motivates them, giving them results, which is often more effective than long speeches.
After organizing his words a little, Li Wen began to speak:
"I came here today for many reasons, but when I saw that this manuscript was so long, I didn't want to talk about it anymore."
“Hahahaha…” Many people in the audience laughed.
“However, there is one important thing that needs to be announced today, which is that the Zion Progressors have finally made a breakthrough in mental energy research and defense.
Through the hard work of our guild members, we have developed the first device capable of shielding anima for self-defense.
Although simple, it is indeed as the host just said, this is a research and development that will change the entire Zion landscape.
It's called the Anima Shroud."
Following Li Wen's announcement, the scene became quiet for a moment, but was followed by cheers and screams.
The people here are all highly educated talents, so they naturally know what kind of changes an item that can conceal mental energy will bring to Zion's situation.
Zhang Nuoan, who was sitting in the stands, was very excited.
He clenched his fists slightly, looked at Ai Li who was standing beside him and presiding over security work, and said excitedly:
"Sure enough, there must be a reason why Minister Li left me alone for so long. My research and development is definitely groundbreaking. See, Rewi Alley, this is my achievement, the Psychic Shield."
The corners of Ai Li's mouth twitched, and she zipped up her slightly high collar to avoid being seen smiling.
Although she has smiled more recently than before, she still likes to maintain that aloof attitude, because that way others will be afraid of her and it will be easier to do things.
Seeing that Ai Li ignored him, Zhang Nuoan was a little unconvinced. He actually stood up and handed the mental energy shielding device as big as a washbasin in his hand to Ai Li.
"Aili, Minister Li said that this is a research and development that can change the situation in Zion. As long as I can reduce the size of the device so that it can be carried around, then this item will become a real combat device."
Zhang Nuoan's perseverance is actually a helpless choice.
After the last accident, he was indeed deserted by his friends and relatives, especially Rewi Alley's departure, which had a greater impact on him than he had imagined.
Ai Li's strength is so strong that he has been recognized by the guild's armed forces. This is real connection, but he has completely lost this connection.
It is very difficult to find some level 4 guards now.
Now that Ai Li is on the same level as him, Zhang Nuoan no longer has the qualifications to order Ai Li around.
Ai Li turned to look at Zhang Nuoan, and seeing that Zhang Nuoan was not doing well, she felt... relieved.
If Zhang Nuoan has done so much and is still living well, then isn’t her choice stupid
Before Ai Li could speak, Li Wen on the podium had finished his short speech. He raised an object in his hand and said with a smile:
“Well, since this is research by young people, we should give this stage to them.
Next, let Dr. Xu Le, the creator of this Heart Shield, who is also a representative of the returned students from Lighthouse, and the senior exclusive independent studio of Zion Progressors, Rose Studio, tell you about his understanding of knowledge. "
Following Li Wen’s invitation, Xu Le took the stage.
Zhang Nuoan, who was still holding the energy shield in his hand, suddenly felt like drawing his sword and looking around, feeling confused.
He looked at the small device in Li Wen's hand and murmured:
"The creator of the Anima Obscurator... Xu Le? How is that possible? How is this possible?"
When Zhang Nuoan looked at Xu Le, his emotions seemed very unstable. Ai Li beside him suddenly pressed his palm on him.
Ai Li's eyes gradually turned cold. It was murderous intent, the murderous intent of a true warrior.
Zhang Nuoan hesitated, and even his rising anger gradually dissipated.
But he still didn't understand, and didn't comprehend why Xu Le became the creator of the mental energy mask
He looked at Ai Li and murmured:
"Why?"
Ai Li didn't explain too much and directly took out the mental energy shielding device that Xu Le gave her.
After rubbing the blood off it and placing it in front of Zhang Nuoan, Ai Li said calmly:
"Zhang Nuoan."
"Um?"
"You lose."
“I lost?”
"Yes, you lose."
As Zhang Nuoan sat down dejectedly, the coldness on Ai Li's face faded a little. If Zhang Nuoan's emotions could not stabilize, then she, as the security director here, would have no choice but to take him away.
Although she really wanted to embarrass Zhang Nuoan, she didn't want this incident to affect the order of the venue.
Zhang Nuoan lowered his head and looked at the mental energy shield in his hand. His head was buzzing and a strong tinnitus filled his mind.
Waves of dizziness made it almost impossible for Zhang Nuoan to balance his body. He held his knees and whispered:
"I haven't lost, not yet."
Ai Li's hearing allowed her to hear Zhang Nuoan's murmurs clearly, but he did not do anything out of the ordinary, and she had no reason to take action.
Rewi Alley turned his gaze back to the podium, and Xu Le began his speech:
“Minister Li Wen has already said a lot about the Heart Energy Shield, so I won’t say more.
This time I am representing the students who have returned from studying abroad at Dengta, so let me talk about issues related to knowledge, which should be the issue that all students are most concerned about.
As a researcher, I like to analyze problems, and the most important thing for a scholar is to learn to distinguish between three things: information, knowledge and wisdom.
Information means that I am giving a speech here, my name is Xu Le, I am a level 2 Red Moon Warlock, it is an objective fact outside, this is information.
As a Red Moon Warlock, I understand mental energy and know that when mental energy exceeds level 1 alert, it will attract ordinary monsters, and when it exceeds level 2 alert, it will attract inner demon monsters.
This is a knowledge that is an induction and summary of external objective laws.
I used the knowledge of anima and the abilities of the Red Moon Warlock to create a device called the Anima Shield, and used the device to avoid anima. This is called wisdom.
Wisdom refers to our processing and application of knowledge. Since it happens in the future and cannot be recorded, it is the difference in how each person uses knowledge... "
Ai Li raised her head slightly as she watched Xu Le talking. Her evaluation of Xu Le was that he performed well and was not stage fright, but he was more or less nervous.
This can be seen from the fact that Xu Le rubs his fingers from time to time.
The eyes of a warrior are so sharp. Xu Le kept rubbing his fingers like this the night they came back. It was obvious that he was pretending to be asleep, but she didn't expose him.
After looking Xu Le up and down, Ai Li suddenly whispered:
"The suit is nice."
At this time, a guard came to Ai Li and whispered to him:
"Lord Ai Li, something happened in the cloakroom."
Ai Li frowned slightly. The last thing she wanted to see happen was an accident at this time.
"What's up?"
"Several women had hysterics and they hung themselves up. It was a group act."
Several women hang themselves in a cloakroom? A group act
Ai Li felt something was wrong, so she asked directly:
"Dead?"
"They're not dead. They were dragged down. But their current condition is a little strange. You'd better go and take a look."
"Got it, take me over there to have a look."
"yes."
Before leaving, Ai Li glanced at Xu Le on the podium. Xu Le seemed to have sensed something as well, and he looked in the direction of Ai Li.
When he saw Ai Li frowning and leaving, he felt something was slightly wrong.
Judging from her clothes, Ai Li should be the security guard here, right? She should have been promoted before, at least the head of security here. If she frowned, it must be something dangerous.
Something happened near the venue
After a quick analysis in his mind, Xu Le ended his speech:
"That's about all I have to say. I hope I can make a contribution to Zion in the future. Of course, I also hope to leave my name in Zion's history. Thank you everyone."
Warm applause rang out, and Xu Le slowly walked down from the podium.
Looking at where Li Wen was, Xu Le frowned slightly and asked Wang Man beside him:
"Where's Uncle Li?"
"Uncle Li was very busy, so he left early."
"Okay." Xu Le nodded.
However, Wang Man's eyes were full of stars when she looked at Xu Le:
"Brother Xu Le, you are so awesome."
"Ah? Why do you say that suddenly?"
"After just two years at Lighthouse, he became a bachelor's student. After returning to Zion, he made great achievements in a short period of time and became a doctor. Isn't that amazing enough?"
"Hearing you put it that way, it seems so. Okay, Wang Man, I have some things to take care of later. You stay here for a while."
Hearing that Xu Le was leaving, Wang Man was stunned:
"I'm very likely to invite you to the stage again when the exchange speech is over. Where are you going now?"
"I'm going to deal with something that may be troublesome, or it may not be troublesome. If it's not troublesome, I should be back soon."
"What if it's troublesome?"
"If I feel troubled, then this meeting probably won't be able to go on."
"Then I'll go with you."
"No, you have to stay here. If anyone asks me where I've been, you can explain it to me, right?"
"But." Wang Man wanted to say something, but Xu Le had already made a "hush" gesture to her.
"Well, don't let anyone notice."
Xu Le shook his finger, took off his suit jacket, pulled off his tie and walked outside.
Wang Shu followed Xu Le calmly, while Ge Sini hesitated for a moment, then followed happily.
…
The cloakroom is prepared for the dance performance at the end of the exchange meeting.
The art troupe here happened to be the one that Wang Man was in. Perhaps there were so many coincidences, and Wang Man was not there today, so he escaped this disaster.
At this time, several guards placed the members of the art troupe who had hanged themselves together. Their bodies were still twitching from time to time.
This unnatural twitching seems like some kind of disease.
If it was just one person, it would be fine, but now that five people have the same condition, it is very likely that it cannot be explained by ordinary diseases.
"Has a warlock come to check it out?"
"Lord Ai Li, I am a warlock." said a middle-aged man.
"What do you mean?" Ai Li looked at the middle-aged warlock in front of him and asked in a low voice.
"I have done a Gu Yin Duo pollution test for them. The test results are not out yet, but based on my personal judgment, these people should not be contaminated by Gu Yin Duo."
"Why?"
As if he had guessed that Ai Li would ask this question, the middle-aged warlock walked over to one of the art troupe members, squatted down, and ripped open her pants and clothes around her belly.
“First of all, I didn’t feel the energy of Gu Yinduo. The energy of Gu Yinduo is still very obvious, and there will be a blue shadow on the body, but these women don’t have that.
Then there are the symptoms of these women. Lord Ai Li, please look here. They have obvious peristalsis in their lower abdomen. This condition is more like being parasitized by some kind of creature, rather than being contaminated by ancient sounds. "
The middle-aged sorcerer's analysis was very logical, but just as he finished speaking, the woman next to him suddenly sat up.
She opened her mouth and bit directly on the middle-aged warlock's finger, with such speed that she had reached the level of a level 2 warrior.
There is no way for a low-level warlock to dodge this kind of attack at such a close distance.
"Ah!" The middle-aged warlock screamed and tried to push the woman away.
But the woman bit the warlock's fingers tightly, and the other guards had already pulled out their pistols.
Aimed at the runaway woman.
"Stop, or I'll shoot."
The woman remained unmoved in the face of the guard's gun. The middle-aged warlock could no longer tolerate this and activated his spiritual power in his hand, piercing the woman's arm with a spiritual blade.
Phew!
However, his actions not only failed to stop the woman, but instead aroused the bloodthirstiness in the woman's eyes, and she bit his fingers tightly.
The warlock saw that he could not break free and shouted:
"Kill her, kill her quickly!"
Ai Li frowned slightly. Although this woman suddenly attacked, except for the initial surprise attack, she did not show any ability beyond that of a normal human. This was the reason why she had not taken action yet.
But now that a warlock was injured, she naturally couldn't just stand there and watch. The value of a warlock was extremely high in any city.
"Kill him."
"yes."
Bang bang bang!
After three consecutive shots, the woman was shot in the head and fell down. A lot of blood flowed all over the ground, and the warlock finally pulled back his finger.
With a gloomy face, he asked the guard beside him to bandage his wound, and then said to Ai Li:
"Lord Ai Li, I feel like these women may be controlled by some creature. I suggest getting rid of them all."
"It's not impossible to get rid of them all, but they are members of the Zion Art Troupe after all, and some of them may even have military positions.
So before we deal with it, we still have to inform the leader of the Zion Art Troupe to make a decision. We will guard here, and you go and inform the people in the Zion Art Troupe."
"Yes." A guard walked out.
Ai Li and a group of guards were waiting here with guns.
But the wait lasted more than 5 minutes.
5 minutes is very short, very short for most people, but 5 minutes can also be very long. For example, if you want to notify the head of an art troupe, 5 minutes is definitely too long.
Ai Li frowned slightly and said to another soldier:
"Go and have a look."
"yes."
The second soldier pushed the door open and walked out. Ai Li closed her eyes slightly. She felt something was wrong but couldn't put her finger on it.
After a moment's hesitation, Ai Li knew where the problem lay.
"The smell and sound, the smell and sound of these two people disappeared directly after they went out, that's not right!"
Ai Li stood up and walked towards the door of the cloakroom.
…
Xu Le, Wang Shu and Ge Sini also happened to arrive at the door of the cloakroom.
"This should be the cloakroom, right? The guard just said it was here."
Xu Le looked at the cloakroom. This temporary place built in the laboratory seemed a bit too old.
Gusini on the side suddenly spoke up:
"Why do I feel it's so spooky here? Is it an illusion?"
Xu Le looked towards the window and frowned slightly:
“It’s not an illusion.”
"Uh? Why?"
Xu Le pointed to the pitch-black window and said calmly:
"If the situation was normal, would they not turn on the lights?"
