Tomorrow morning, Raymond will be attacked by Jormungandr.
Raymond has a mission: to escort an important document from the Secret Service back to the school. The mission is classified as SS-rank.
The importance and special nature of SS-level missions are self-evident.
Such tasks are usually assigned directly by the school board and do not need to go through Principal Angers.
This important document records the issue of lineage among A-level students.
Most of these students are problem children, such as Chu Zihang, Caesar, Lu Mingfei, Chen Motong, Su Xi... Of course, Gu Ran guessed that he would be among them.
In addition, it also records Xia Mi's lineage.
Jormungandr wanted to alter the document, so she launched an attack at the South Train Station, killing Raymond and having the Hunter seize the document so she could modify it.
To save Raymond, Gu Ran needs to appear at the South Railway Station tomorrow morning.
Therefore, Gu Ran did not actually go into the mountains; he merely pretended to.
When his cell phone signal disappeared, he immediately turned it off, removed the battery, and then used his transformation magic to disguise himself as a villager and leave the mountain.
This is the advantage of removable batteries; once the power is off, there is no signal at all, making it impossible to monitor or listen in.
In this way, Norma would think he was still in the mountains, thus creating an alibi for him.
As for why Norma couldn't contact him?
If Raymond dies and this important SS-level document is lost, the Secret Service must immediately send someone to retrieve it.
In this city, there is only one executive commissioner, Raymond. According to the secret party's personnel arrangements, without an executive commissioner, they can only send students.
There are three students at the Kassel College in this city: Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, and Gu Ran.
In order to avoid changing the course of events, Gu Ran planned to remain hidden and only make a move at the most crucial moment to maximize his interests.
Therefore, he could not be assigned to Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei's task force and had to remain outside of it.
……
Early morning of the 17th, waiting hall of South Railway Station.
Raymond is tasked with escorting a document back to Kassel College.
Although his bloodline is only B-level, after working in the Execution Department for so many years, his authority level has been raised to A-level, making him a senior specialist.
His incantation is 'Blazing Sun', which can emit intense rays of light with an intensity of 4000 lumens within its domain.
Such light cannot kill enemies, but it can blind people like a flashbang.
Chapter 247 Lu Mingfei's Birthday
Raymond's combat prowess may not be the best, but with his Word of Power, escaping will definitely not be a problem.
Therefore, assigning him the responsibility of transporting documents was a decision made by the Executive Department after careful consideration.
Because the mission was SS-rank, Raymond was very vigilant and kept a close eye on his surroundings.
He ate a bite of bread haphazardly and drank a sip of nutritional drink. He hadn't been home for days and didn't know how his wife and children were doing.
However, I received a text message on my phone a few days ago about a credit card transaction; it seems my wife bought new clothes again.
He knew his wife was reminding him to come home sooner.
Because he often doesn't turn on his phone when he's on a mission.
After finishing his meal, Raymond glanced around and, seeing that there was hardly anyone around, relaxed a bit.
The South Railway Station only started operating this summer, so there aren't many passengers waiting at the station right now.
The station's dome is constructed with an aluminum alloy frame that can withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8. The frame is covered with 3,200 pieces of high-strength glass.
The morning light began to stream down from the horizon, shining through the glass and onto everyone.
At this moment, the station's public address system began broadcasting train information, indicating that the train was about to arrive at the station.
Raymond pretended to be a normal tourist, and after finishing his meal, he threw the packaging bag into the trash can.
At the same time, look around to see if there is anything suspicious.
After secretly looking around and finding no suspicious people, he took out his ticket from his pocket and prepared to enter the gate.
But then, the ground suddenly began to shake.
"Ok?"
Raymond immediately sensed something was wrong.
The people in the waiting room were stunned at first, then a staff member in uniform shouted: "Earthquake! Everyone, get to an open outdoor area quickly!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the aluminum alloy frame, which could withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8, suddenly broke, and the high-strength glass panels on the ceiling began to sway.
Raymond was trained and had done many tasks.
He reacted very quickly, knowing he couldn't stay where he was, or he would definitely be crushed to death by the glass falling from above!
This high-strength glass weighs over 15 kilograms per square meter; if it were to fall on a person, they would be severely injured or killed.
So, holding the document in his hand, he immediately looked for cover.
He immediately realized that the best place to take refuge was the waiting bench where he had just been sitting!
Raymond was about to rush over when he suddenly realized that the glass above his head had lost its support in an instant, and three thousand two hundred pieces of glass fell from the sky at the same time!
Huge slabs of high-strength glass fell vertically from above his head like sharp blades, as if a guillotine had severed the head of Louis XVI.
In an instant, he realized that this was not an accident, but something that had been deliberately controlled.
Oh no, am I going to die?
There was nowhere to hide!
He is desperate!
It's too late, but it's soon.
Just when Raymond thought he was going to die, an invisible shockwave suddenly swept over his head, shattering the glass that was falling vertically into pieces.
Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!
The Wind Release: Rasenshuriken is based on the Rasengan, but with the addition of wind-attribute elements that have cutting properties. The huge shuriken is actually a collection of countless tiny blades, and its high-density chakra can easily shatter glass!
At the same time, a figure so fast it was invisible whistled past and tackled Raymond into the nearby convenience store.
Lightning Release: Chakra Mode – This technique activates muscles with Lightning Release chakra, and with the added boost of Sage Mode, the speed is as fast as thunder!
The convenience store doesn't have a glass dome, so this place is safe for now.
The glass that was deliberately controlled hit Raymond a little, but he wasn't seriously injured.
The other falling glass was shattered by the indistinct figure.
“You are…” Raymond felt that the skin of the person who saved him was somewhat hard.
He stared into the man's eyes, because the man was wearing a black long-sleeved hoodie and a black mask, revealing only his eyes.
The man's eyes were blood red, and there were tomoe (magatama) rotating in his pupils.
He suddenly felt his eyelids were very heavy and he really wanted to sleep.
It's a hypnotic technique using the Sharingan.
Raymond's last impression was that the man in black looked like a woman, slender and tall.
In fact, the man in black was Gu Ran.
However, at this moment, he used a transformation technique to transform into the appearance of Mai Shutoku.
If you can shift the blame to someone else, you certainly can't miss this opportunity.
At this moment, Gu Ran entered Sage Mode. With the blessing of Sage Power and the stimulation of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he could now reach an extremely fast speed!
Since the opponent was Jormungandr, the Dragon King, and no one knew her combat strength, Gu Ran used his strongest combat mode!
He put Raymond down and then looked at a petite figure not far away.
It is Jormungandr.
The two looked at each other from a distance, but took no further action.
It was Gu Ran, after transforming, who took the first action. He took the document from Raymond's arms and threw it under a bench some distance away.
"You can take the things, but there's no need to kill the person, right?" Gu Ran used a voice changer to imitate the voice of Shude Mai, looking at Jormungandr not far away.
Jormungandr stood there without saying a word.
She was also wary and on guard against Gu Ran.
Because she is not fully awakened yet, and moreover... she does not have the Dragonbone Cross, so she is not the complete Jormungandr.
Gu Ran was also on guard, though he was quite looking forward to fighting Jormungandr.
He would test her strength first, and if he couldn't beat her, he would use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.
But Jormungandr showed no intention of making a move.
A moment later, a hunter suddenly rushed in, seemingly unaware of 'Shude Mai' and Jormungandr, and snatched the documents away.
Because Jormungandr used Word of Power to reduce his presence, and the document was thrown out by Gu Ran, the hunter assumed that Gu Ran had given it to him specifically, so he came up and took it.
This hunter was hired by Jormungandr.
The hunter disappeared, and the next second, Jormungandr turned and left, vanishing from sight.
Now that Jormungandr is gone, Raymond is spared, because she has achieved her goal.
Gu Ran just used hypnosis to put Raymond into a deep sleep, and he won't wake up for at least 24 hours.
That should be enough. Twenty-four hours later, Gu Ran estimated that he would already be on a flight to Chicago.
As for what happens next, Raymond will likely be thoroughly investigated by the Secret Service.
But he himself was confused and knew nothing, so the secret service wouldn't get any useful information.
They certainly won't trace it back to Gu Ran.
"I've saved you again. Now, just live a peaceful life with your wife and kids." He put Raymond in a safe place.
