After filling in the paper, Shadow Scanned the test paper in his hand and found that it was a comprehensive test paper covering the main subjects of arts and sciences, and there were no professional test questions for the life science department that he was going to transfer to.

So this is just an exam to test the level of study at the end of high school, and it is valid for candidates in any department.

As mentioned before, Shadow Owl is the original person of "Broken Code", and the memories related to his identity were washed away before the age of 14, so he doesn't know what his childhood name was, where he lived, what school he studied in, and who his parents were. However, most of the memories that had nothing to do with his identity were retained, so he was surprised to find that there were still a few simple multiple-choice questions on this set of test papers.

- It turns out that I was also a school student when I was younger.

After skimming through the test papers, this was the first sentence that came to his mind.

- But you can't pass the exam with just a few questions.

Thinking about this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the position of the boy sitting in front of him, only to find that the other party seemed to know that he was going to cheat, and covered the test paper very tightly.

Not...... Originally, it was planned that it would be best to copy the test paper of the one on the left or the right, but due to the small number of people taking the transfer exam, there is now an empty seat on the left side of the shadow owl. And on the right is Phoebe, who said before that she won't do the test paper either......

…… Wait a minute!

Although it had not been a few minutes since the start of the exam, if you listened carefully, the Shadow Owl found that the most hard-working, continuous rustling of answers in the class came from his right position.

A glance over that side was enough to see Phoebe's face with a confident look. She kept writing, and seemed to deliberately put her left hand under her seat, so that she could see every answer she wrote down perfectly from the angle of the Shadow Owl.

The Shadow Owl was shocked.

Originally, when Phoebe said that she couldn't write papers, he believed it instantly. A servant who has been sold for many years, after redemption, enlisted in the army, has never been to high school, and does not know how to do exams, which is a matter of course. But looking at her now, she is not only fluent in answers, but also quite confident. What's going on with this person!?

But there's no time to think about this kind of thing - the time for answering the questionnaire is passing by minute by minute. And now, there is no other choice but to copy Phoebe's test paper answers.

So in the following exam time, the shadow owl completed the answer sheet with perfect cheating skills.

Fifteen minutes after Phoebe handed in the paper, he changed the answers to some simple questions and essay questions on the test paper slightly, replaced them with the content expressed in his own effective word order, and replaced some similar opinions, and then calmly handed in the paper.

In this way, he successfully became one of the top 10 students who submitted the papers, and after the results came out, he found that he also got a pretty good score.

The next day, the Shadow Owl officially enrolled at Mendel University and became a second-year student.

On the morning of April 28, wearing a Mendel University uniform and carrying a schoolbag in his right hand, he went to the Department of Life Sciences to report under the pseudonym Lu Chao.

The university is a school that places equal emphasis on life sciences and medical research, and resources are tilted in both directions.

In order to provide the best research environment for the Faculty of Medicine, the University has set aside a special amount of money to establish a medical department on a branch campus, and has also made great efforts to obtain the kind of business license that a regular hospital uses for this medical department.

The Department of Life Sciences, as opposed to the Department of Medicine, can also be seen from its majestic and magnificent office building.

Shadowowl enters the office building through the main entrance and finds the location of the tutor's office on the guide view hanging on the wall of the lobby.

Turn right and walk past two offices, stop at the door of the third office, look at the door to make sure you're in the wrong place, and start knocking.

The door was opened by a long-haired girl with a paintbrush. Seeing that the shadow owl was wearing a school uniform, he didn't ask a word, so he let it go to the side.

The Shadow Owl entered, and the girl quickly closed the door behind him, then walked over to the half-painted poster with a paintbrush and went back to work.

The Shadow Owl briefly looked around for a short time - the structure of the counselor's office was a coat room. The counselor sat in the outer room, but the place where his name tag was placed was empty, but there was a boy sitting in the opposite place.

Hearing the shadow owl enter the door, the boy also looked up this way.

The two looked at each other and found that they knew each other. However, they did not call each other by name.

The boy opened his mouth first and said, "Classmate, are you here to report?" Come over here. ”

Shadow Owl walked over, handed over the acceptance letter with his name written on it, and said, "Hello. ”

The boy got up politely, took the notice and glanced at it: "Your name is Lu Chao?" ”

"Yes."

"My name is Aaron. Aaron. Carol, like you, is a sophomore. Aaron pretended to stretch out his right hand and shook it with the Shadow Owl, "Tutor Julie is in a meeting, I don't have classes this morning, so I'm on duty for her for the time being." With that, he sat down again and typed the information from the notice into the computer in front of him.

"Aren't you a student? Can you also be on duty for the teacher? "Shadow Owl was a little curious.

"He's the vice president of the department's student council." A familiar voice came from the inner room of the office. The crisp sound of a stiff-heeled shoe on the floor approached, and faces as familiar as the sound appeared in the sight of Shadow Owl and Aaron.

"Phoebe?" After a few tosses before, the Shadow Owl has completely memorized the name of the guy in front of him.

"Good morning, Lu Chao." Phoebe winked at him and asked pointedly, "How's the entrance exam score?" Not bad, huh? ”

"Ah...... It's OK. Of course, the Shadow Owl couldn't say anything—thanks to you for letting me copy the scroll or something, but his tone was still very soft, after all, the man in front of him did help him.

"You know?" Aaron's acting skills are also good, and asked knowingly.

"Hmm. He lives next door to my house. Phoebe replied first.

Shadow Owl's face sank, and he looked at the two colleagues gloomily, as if he was asking—are you really going to use this setting!?

"Oh! That's a coincidence. Aaron was visibly pleased with Phoebe's answer, "So the two of you have already exchanged contact information, right?" ”

"...... contact information?" Shadow Owl didn't react for a moment.

"Not yet!" Phoebe looked a little lost, pointed to the shadow owl and complained, "I handed in my papers early on the day of the entrance exam, so I stood at the door of the exam room and waited for him. As a result, he didn't come out after waiting for an hour, and when I looked into the examination room again, everyone was gone! I didn't have time to ......."

Shadow Owl was embarrassed to hear this. After the exam that day, he actually saw Phoebe standing at the door waiting for the rabbit, in order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment, he still deliberately took it easy, quickly bypassed her sight, and left the examination room.

"That's just me, let's exchange contact information." Aaron touched the video headset on his ear.

"Okay!" Phoebe also unfolded the screen of the video headset in front of her eyes.

Despite being unskilled in using them, in order to dutifully disguise themselves as students, the Shadow Owl cooperated with them to turn on the headphones. As soon as I opened the screen, I saw two invitations sent from the locator bar.

"That 'RX-10 user 83018390' is Lu Chao, right?" Phoebe looked at the screen and complained, "Why don't you even change your name?" Like an old man. ”

"Uh......" Shadow Wipes the sweat from his forehead, "Where did you change this?" ”

"I'll teach you!"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this kind of thing here." Aaron put away the screen in front of him and beckoned, "Now that we've exchanged contact information, you can contact each other at any time." Phoebe, you might as well take Lu Chao around first, I may have to be on duty for a while, and I'll call you later. ”

"Okay." Phoebe put her hand to her ear and made a phone call, pointed at Aaron, then opened the office door and went out. Shadow Owl followed.

The long-haired girl, who had been applying paint in front of the poster board, watched them out the door and gave Aaron a thoughtful look. The latter didn't notice that she was paying attention to this side, and just took care of herself and returned to her position. The girl then freed her hand without a pen and fiddled twice on her headphones, and the screen in front of her immediately showed several candid photos taken from different angles - all of them were Shadow Owl and Phoebe. The long-haired girl dragged the photos one by one into the attachment of a short message, entered a string of numbers in the recipient's column, and sent them. Then, like someone who had nothing to do, she turned off her headphones, picked up the sketchpad again, and applied another cleaned brush to the line drawing of the poster. In her pen, the blue and red entwined giant NDA double helix leaps onto the page, alongside a provocative headline — Who is manipulating our destinies?

Shadow Owl and Phoebe leave the office building and walk aimlessly on the main road of the school park.

"Where to go now?" Seeing that Phoebe and Aaron had already made contact in advance, Shadow Owl decided that Aaron, who was the core of the team, must have given Phoebe specific instructions on how to investigate clues in the school. Then as long as you follow Phoebe and assist her in investigating and collecting evidence in some places beyond her power, your task will be completed.

Unexpectedly, when Phoebe heard such a question, she fiddled with her hair like an ordinary schoolgirl, and replied as a matter of course: "I'm going back to the dormitory to pack my things." ”

"Uh......" The Shadow Owl struggled to digest this sentence, thinking that the implicit meaning should be that the clue that needed to be forensic was in the girls' dormitory, so he paused and asked, "Is there anything you need my help with?" ”

"Huh? Help? Phoebe glared at him with wide eyes, "You're going to the girls' dormitory?" Can you get in? ”

Shadowlord thought for a moment - it was a bit of a hassle, but it wasn't impossible to sneak into a building by bypassing the security proto, and replied, "It should be possible." ”

"Hey——?" Phoebe narrowed a pair of cat's eyes vigilantly, "Can't you see that you guys are quite fat, dare to break into the girls' dormitory on the first day of school?" ”

"If it's for work." Shadow Owl is colorful.

Phoebe almost fell: "What kind of job is going to let you trespass on the girls' dormitory!?" ”

"Isn't it an investigation? Second Lieutenant Ito said he wanted to find out the illegal transactions hidden in this university? ”

"That doesn't have anything to do with the girls' dormitory, right?" Phoebe understood, and couldn't laugh or cry.

"I thought—" Shadow Owl's face suddenly sank as he said this, and he turned around and said, "Who?" Come out! ”

The main road was empty. The foliage birch trees on either side rattle in the breeze.

"Come out!" The shadow owl's face was grim, and his fingers moved slightly. Under the cover of his long-sleeved school uniform, he wore a three-centimeter-wide strap on his right forearm, which he had received from a set of throwing knives that he had carried with him as a servant. In response to a potential contingency, one of the sharpened knives had silently slipped into his hand.

I don't know if I really noticed his motives, or if it was just a coincidence, Phoebe, who was standing on his right, reached out to stop him, and it happened to be on the strap of the knife under his sleeve. Unlike the oppressive scolding of the Shadow Owl, Phoebe's voice was much softer: "Come out?" Otherwise, we'll be gone. ”

There was the sound of clothes rubbing against a tree about ten meters away from them, and a small boy came out tremblingly, raising his hands in a surrender gesture to face the two of them. The boy wore a small flat hair, a casual shirt, jeans, and travel shoes, and a huge camera around his neck.

"Don't, don't be rude......," his voice was very unsettled, "I'm Peyton from the school newspaper reporter team, and I'm taking material photos for this issue of the school magazine." ”

"What are you doing with us?" The voice of the Shadow Owl was not very loud, but just as an animal could feel the killing aura of a hunter, if a person's anger was strong enough, then the person listening to him could also feel an inexplicable sense of oppression. So in the face of the Shadow Lord's questioning, Peyton found that he almost didn't even have the courage to face him, and could only look at the ground with his eyelids hanging in a weak heart.

"There is a proposition column in this issue of the school and school magazine, which is called 'Energetic Transfer Students'. I just received a contact message from the Department of Life Sciences, saying that a couple of transfer students are coming to report......" Peyton said this, turning on the video headset hanging on his ear with his right hand, and several candid photos were immediately synced to the devices of Shadow Owl and Phoebe—it was a photo that was captured on campus by the two before the report, "I see that you two are quite photogenic, and I can't hold back for a while, so I follow you to take a few more ......"

"W-when was this filmed?" Phoebe looked at those photos and thought it was quite interesting.

However, the actor felt a little uneasy - who made this? When was it filmed? He thought he had sharp senses, but he was completely unconscious.

"This ...... I really don't know. Peyton scratched his face, "The contributor is anonymous, and I only received a photo, and your approximate location." Yes...... But if you're not busy right now, can you give me an interview? Rest assured, the manuscript will also be sent to you before it comes out - through video headphones. ”

"Let's hurry—" Before the shadow owl could finish speaking, his right rib was slammed hard, "uh......"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Phoebe interrupted and waved at Peyton with a smile, "Either let's find a place to talk?" The pestle is here to block the way of others. ”

"Of course!" Peyton smiled, "You've done me a great favor!" This month's school magazine will be due tomorrow, and I still haven't written most of the articles yet. If you would help, I would appreciate it! In return, I'll invite you two to the cafeteria for a big meal at noon today! It can be regarded as a third-grade student who does his best to be a landlord. ”
