310 Nico’s Disappearance (3)
“Those people worked so hard for nothing.”
After the principal repeatedly persuaded Teny, Teny let go of his unyielding attitude and said in a low voice, “I understand, Principal Liang. My achievements today are all thanks to your nurturing.
“Don’t worry, since you have spoken, I will not say anything about Nico.”
“That’s good!”
Principal Liang sounded a little gratified.
The conversation next door stopped, and the surroundings fell into silence.
About ten minutes later, hurried footsteps came from next door. With another click, the door of the villa opened.
A deep and powerful voice rang out.
“Principal, I did not find Nico. The signal of the strong positioning sensor has been blocked. I have lost the clues and direction of tracking. If we want to find him, we must mobilize a large number of people and machines to search without blind spots.
“This way, the commotion would be huge, and the Archon and Quartermaster would notice.
“I can’t make a decision, so I came to ask for instructions.”
Ning Shi immediately guessed that the person who had spoken was the True God of War Wu Yisheng. He was the Chief Instructor of the Norse Republic Academy’s external warfare and also Nico’s full-time teacher.
Wu Yisheng did not manage to find Nico.
Liang Wenli did not panic when she heard the bad news brought by Wu Yisheng. She said calmly, “Xiao Wu, tell me about your pursuit.”
“After I received Teacher Moses’ call, I immediately activated the location tracking function of the sensor. I activated the invisibility function of the mecha and followed the location to the foot of Cloudy Mountain.
“The moment I arrived, the location disappeared.
“I wasn’t willing to give up, so I searched carefully at the foot of the Cloudy Mountain. In the end, I found nothing.
“I called Teacher Moses to find out more about Nico’s situation before he disappeared.
“I’ll let Teacher Moses describe the details to you.”
Moses’ voice was hoarse and weak. He felt that Nico’s disappearance would make him accountable, so he was under great pressure.
He said, “Reporting to Principal Liang. Nico trained until 11 o’clock at night before returning to the dormitory from the Rising Sun Field. As there are still classes the next day, Nico went back to his usual routine. After returning to the dormitory, he took a shower and went to rest.
“After the lights in his dormitory were turned off, I hid in the big tree outside to guard him like before.
“The night wind tonight was very strong, making my head a little dizzy. I unknowingly dozed off. When I woke up again, I immediately sensed that something was wrong.
“The dormitory was too quiet. Nico’s even breathing had disappeared. I immediately activated the GPS and found that his location was near Cloudy Mountain.
“I immediately informed Instructor Wu and Principal Pang, and I also went to Cloudy Mountain. When I reached Cloudy Mountain, I also lost the signal.”
Moses didn’t deny his negligence and told him everything that had happened.
Liang Wenli reacted quickly and said, “In that case, Nico’s disappearance was in the dormitory and you did not notice at all when you were sleeping on the tree.
“This is either because the expert who captured Nico is very powerful, and the capture was done cleanly without causing any noise.
“Either Nico was not caught in the dormitory at all and left the dormitory on his own. Moreover, he deliberately avoided all modes of surveillance.
“Does everyone think that the possibility is higher?”
This question was very simple. Pang Yuanqing answered quickly, “Nico must have left the dormitory on his own accord. We have installed a complete monitoring and defense system in Nico’s dormitory. It is impossible to infiltrate it silently and capture Nico.”
“Nico must have left on his own accord for some reason, right?” Liang Wenli asked.
Teny, who hadn’t spoken for a long time, said, “Could it be to take out the forbidden core he hid?”
“In the past, Nico did not receive any systematic training as a mecha master. He did not know how to use the forbidden core even though he had it. Now that he studied in the academy for more than a month, he must have mastered a certain amount of technology and knowledge. He knows how to use the forbidden core.
“Isn’t it normal for you to want to take out the forbidden core you’ve hidden?”
The more Teny spoke, the more he felt that what he said made sense. “The last place Nico disappeared was at the foot of the Cloudy Mountain. The mountains are high and the forest is dense. It’s perfect for hiding things!
“Think about it, the academy’s strong location sensing system is so powerful. How can it be so easily cracked and blocked?
“Nico must have turned off the positioning function himself, which is why we can’t locate him.
“Nico’s disappearance isn’t because he was captured, but because of his own actions. He deliberately avoided us and obtained the forbidden core!”
