Chapter 5, Kassel Academy

clang

Kassel University

With short black hair and a few scattered bangs, he appears somewhat wild, and the yellow training outfit he wears makes him look like a kung fu youth who has stepped out of an old film.

Isolate unrelated individuals

The young man with black hair standing in front of Lu Chen appeared to be handling matters in an official capacity, and he even took out his police badge and identification.

Parallel worlds

So fast? Even before a shot was fired, when he heard that the danger level was suspected to be Grade A, he thought it would ultimately end with this cinema being blown to pieces. Such incidents are commonplace for their execution department, yet now this rapid in-and-out has left him somewhat perplexed

The squad leader of Team B outside inquired

Lu Chen remained silent, glancing at the three helicopters parked by the roadside, as well as the fully armed individuals dressed in black who resembled high-level agents. He wondered when the Vietnamese police had become so formidable. Moreover, among them were individuals of various ethnicities, including Caucasians, Asians, and Africans. Vietnamese police? Do they take me for a child?

Lu Chen answered honestly

I apologize, the police are handling the case

Although the task prompt referred to them as "out-of-control hybrids," he would not let his guard down against these unidentified individuals, especially since they were armed with the firearms he despised

Lu Chen kicked open the door of the screening room, only to find that it had long been locked. It seems that for ordinary people, even the choice to escape is not so simple.

The young man was taken aback for a moment, then he composed his expression and repeated it again

What are you saying

Failure penalty: forced regression

It is as if when the executive opens his mouth and says, "Let us go assassinate President XX," these young people would salute and then set off, shooting anyone who stands in their way.

It is no wonder that they are unable to defeat each other; their loss is not unjust.

executive

The figure in black in the arena silently bowed, signifying the receipt of orders

Before entering the cinema, the executive reminded that he feared the prodigies of the academy might become complacent

Lu Chen was a bit confused; he had learned English due to the war, but he had never studied Vietnamese

However, seeing that the other party did not resort to violence and seemed merely to be driving him away, appearing rather mild, he probably understood that these mixed-blood individuals before him were mostly still considered "normal people"

Mixed race

The middle-aged man, referred to as the executive officer, glanced at Lu Chen and then said: "Team B is on external defense, Team A will enter with me, and Team C is on standby"

Success Reward: Based on task completion, the world stay time is extended by 6 to 24 natural months, unlocking subsequent tasks

The objective this time is a B-class hybrid, who has committed crimes five times in succession. After falling from grace, it is estimated that they possess A-class strength. Stay alert, especially those young ones from the war practice classes

Upon just entering this world, Lu Chen did not fully comprehend the various meanings of the terms mentioned within the worldview. However, he had just encountered a hybrid, and that hybrid had killed five civilians

Oh, it seems he just heard something about a war practice class. Since it includes the word 'class', can this be considered teaching

Lu Chen quietly observed this scene, showing no outward signs of action, yet he was secretly gathering his energy, ready to take action at any moment, for he had just caught a glimpse of the glimmer of gold in the eyes of the executor as they glanced sideways.

He was just pondering, isn't it really hot for you all to be dressed like this in the middle of summer

The commoners have already been murdered

Ah, this is quite different from what I had imagined about college life. Is this how institutions in Western countries conduct their teaching?

Hidden reward: Perfect completion may yield a reward, the details of which are unknown

The young man saw the boy in training attire standing still and felt somewhat impatient, wondering if he had perhaps seen something today that had left him dumbfounded

Difficulty: Moderate - Difficult

Upon seeing this task, he was still slightly taken aback

He wanted to touch the pocket of his jacket, but then he remembered that his own clothes had also been changed by this so-called origin space

At this point, he suddenly thought of something and looked towards the young man in the training suit who was stopped by the commissioner

Stepping out of the cinema, the late summer night breeze brushed against his face, and in the distance, the occasional calls of night owls could be heard, with the moon bright and the stars sparse, creating a sense of solitude

Before Lu Chen could ask, he looked up again and saw two more helicopters arriving, landing not far away. The wind from the rotating blades tousled his hair, and immediately after, another group of people emerged.

The tranquility is but a moment; overhead, the lights sweep across, accompanied by a rumbling sound, as a helicopter descends onto the open space in front of the cinema

From this perspective, it does resemble an academy quite a bit... The premise is that if they are merely going out to sketch, these individuals are clearly here to engage in a battle with the murderer

Because he discovered that his main quest had just been updated

Someone asked angrily

It is still his face, just that it has been a long time since we last met

The executive shook his head and quickly ordered, "It shouldn't have been long, immediately search the surroundings, have Norma adjust the nearby surveillance to see if we can find the person who killed the target"

I have seen military academies before, but they only go to the battlefield after graduating. What you have here is simply like a private army nurtured by the academy

It is indeed quite remote, no wonder it was chosen as a place for murder

If that is the case, it may be necessary to take him back for some psychological counseling, which is the specialty of his mentor, Masashi Fujiyama

Just as he was about to speak up and ask, he heard the sound of many footsteps, and the executive emerged from the cinema accompanied by the commissioners

Join the Kassel Academy and pass the examination

These individuals, resembling elites trained by intelligence agencies, you actually claim are from the academy

The cinema in this small town is quite run-down, and usually only this one screening room is open. When he walked to the front desk, he found the person at the desk lying there motionless, and he immediately understood what was going on

The man at the forefront gave a glance, and a young man in black clothing with black hair approached Lu Chen, raising Lu Chen's vigilance

However, years of military service have made Lu Chen aware that such individuals do not harbor malice; it is merely a matter of habit. They simply prefer simplicity and efficiency.

Upon closer inspection, there are indeed seven or eight individuals among them who appear relatively young, with a few even resembling one's own age; however, each of them exudes a cold demeanor akin to that of seasoned spies.

It seems that the historical development here is somewhat different, and one's own country has long since become a modern military power, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Western powers.

The executive's face, sharp as a knife, was unpredictable as he said: "They are all dead"

Seven or eight individuals dressed in black trench coats, exuding a cold demeanor, jumped down while brandishing firearms, immediately surrounding the small, dilapidated cinema.

No, they are all dead, including the target of our mission this time

Watched the movie

Thinking of this, he recalled the place where he was at that moment, as well as the words spoken by the young man in black just now. This world seemed to have no significant difference in structure from his original world, and the language was also mutually intelligible

The interrogative tone is always unpleasant

Before nightfall, it seemed to have rained, and the air was somewhat humid, carrying the fragrance of the earth. Lu Chen glanced at his current self in a puddle under the moonlight.

Main Quest (Second Ring): The Gate of Kassel

"Chinese? Sorry, the police are handling a case"

Agile and swift, with actions that are both disciplined and efficient, it is akin to a solemn army

Current remaining stay duration: 29 calendar days
