A few days later, Ming Capital was outside the city.
The police station has set up three checkpoints at the city gate, and everyone entering the city must queue up for interrogation.
Two soul scanners were set up on both sides of the city gate, and the orange detection beam swept over everyone, confirming that there were no abnormal Soul Power fluctuations before they were released.
The vendors and travelers waiting in line complained. Some of them muttered something under their breath, but the police officer next to them glared at them and shut up immediately.
"Why have the inspections been so strict these past two days?" A vendor who was pledging goods asked his companion in a low voice.
"I heard that something came from the east, and the superiors directly ordered the city to be closed for investigation."
The companion took out the pass and held it in his hand. He looked up at the two extra rows of patrol mechas on the city wall and twitched the corner of his mouth. "Even the military mechas are deployed. This battle is bigger than the last anti-terrorism exercise."
The team moved forward slowly.
A young police officer stopped a freight carriage, lifted the tarp and inspected it carefully for several minutes, even the mezzanine underneath the vehicle.
As long as they are illegal, they are not allowed to enter and will be detained.
There were a few more young people in the queue outside the city gate.
Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Luo Guixing, Yang Nianxia, Zheng Yiran, Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi, seven people stood in the queue waiting to enter the city. They spent nearly ten days, traveled across ten cities, and won ten leapfrog challenges.
Tang Wulin stood far outside the team, looking at the police officers with live ammunition and the searchlights of the patrol mechas. He considered the feasibility of breaking in several times, and then gave up silently.
The seven of them are all gangsters. Shrek Academy The first-year final exam rules are so unreasonable that the college confiscated all their identity documents.
To put it bluntly, they were asked to use all means to reach Ming Capital within the stipulated time without being caught or revealing their identity. Behind them, Luo Guixing was holding a Ming Capital tourist map picked up from the roadside between two fingers, studying whether there was any path that could bypass the sentry post.
"I counted from the main entrance: three cards, two scanners, eight police officers, and two patrol mechas."
"There is a drainage channel next to it, but the water is dry. You only need to climb two hundred meters to get through it."
Zheng Yiran glared at him. "I refuse to climb the drainage ditch."
"Then force your way in." Yang Nianxia squatted next to him, "Have you ever been able to defeat those mechas?"
Everyone was silent for a moment.
A certain Evil Soul Master escaped from Wu Zhangkong a few days ago and fled all the way to the vicinity of Ming Capital. The police set up a dragnet. As a result, they, the serious students of Shrek, were stopped outside the city and couldn't even reach the door. And this Evil Soul Master casually created a fake identity and got in directly.
The security of Federation is only aimed at the Shrek Academy, but it cannot stop him either.
"It's better to go through the sewer." Tang Wulin said.
Half an hour later, in a certain alley in Ming Capital city, a manhole cover was pushed open a crack from below.
Tang Wulin first stuck out half of his head, and after confirming that there were no pedestrians or patrolling mechas around, he climbed up on the edge of the well.
His whole body was covered with dried mud, and there was a wisp of spider web hanging on his hair from nowhere. Xie Xie followed closely behind, and the first thing he did when he climbed up was not to dust himself off, but to rub the unknown object stuck to the sole of his shoe against the wall.
Luo Guixing Try to observe your surroundings.
Zheng Yiran was the last one to climb up. She had no expression on her face, but she took off her shoes and threw them into the trash can next to her.
Seven people stood in the alley, exuding a smell that even beggars would politely avoid.
Yang Nianxia wiped his face with his sleeve, but it turned out that his sleeve was dirtier than his face, and it took even more time to wipe it off.
"Coming in." Tang Wulin took off the spider webs from his hair, "First find a place to clean up, and then challenge Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."
They found the cheapest hotel in Ming Capital. The front desk took one look at the faces of the seven people and almost pressed the alarm button. It was not until Xie Xie slapped a crumpled bill on the counter that he reluctantly handed them the keys to two rooms.
There were two girls in one room and five boys in one room. The bath water had to be boiled three times before it was the last one's turn.
After a long time, Zheng Yiran and Ye Xinglan came out of the room. They put on spare clothes, their hair was still wet, but they finally returned to their normal appearance.
Five boys were already waiting in the corridor until they were about to grow mushrooms. Xie Xie leaned against the wall and let out a long breath when he saw the girl coming out.
"I thought you two drowned in the bathroom!"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Xinglan's sword hilt had been stabbed precisely at his waist.
Xie Xie's whole body was bent like a shrimp, and before he could scream, Zheng Yiran's little leather boots stepped on his instep and crushed him half a circle.
"When will the bad mouth be corrected?" Zheng Yiran retracted his feet and tied up his wet hair with the hair rope on his wrist.
It's like I haven't stepped on Xie Xie just now.
Ye Xinglan put away his sword, his face remained as usual, and he only said two words: "You deserve it."
Xie Xie squatted in the corner of the corridor, covering his waist with one hand and rubbing the instep with the other. He raised his head and looked at Tang Wulin next to him for help.
Tang Wulin looked down at his distorted face, was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand and pulled him up.
"Say something nice next time." Tang Wulin said.
"For example?"
"For example, 'You guys wash very quickly'."
Xie Xie thought about it seriously and felt that with Ye Xinglan's temper, this sentence would probably be interpreted as having another meaning, so he would still be beaten.
So he chose to shut up.
At the end of the corridor, Wu Zhangkong's figure appeared silently. He glanced at Xie Xie squatting in the corner and said nothing.
"Let's go." Wu Zhangkong turned around, followed by seven people.
On the other side, on the top floor of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's main building, Xiao Mu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with a computer in front of him. He finally covered this room with his artificial intelligence.
When Gu Yue pushed the door open, he was watching the seven-member team downstairs enter the door. The leader was a stern man in white clothes with a sword on his back, followed by a group of the Shrek Academy students.
"Shrek's people are here." Gu Yue walked next to him and glanced down along his line of sight.
"I know." Xiao Mu took a sip of cold water and said there was no surprise in his tone. The target for the final exam was Ming Capital, and he knew about it a few days ago. What surprised him was not that they came, but the number of people who came.
Seven.
There are seven people in total.
Xu Xiaoyan leaned halfway in from the door, "I see they are in quite a mess, how did they sneak in Ming Capital?"
Gu Yue took the telescope handed by Xu Xiaoyan, glanced at the seven disgraced teenagers downstairs, and then handed the telescope to Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu took the telescope, looked at it, and said, "Let's go and greet him."
