Chapter 70: Crowding Out
Although the bloodline of the Lord of Gluttony was too thin and did not bring about changes against the heavens, it made him more and more sensitive to the aura of evil spirits.
The spirit that possessed Detective Samus had long since been wiped out, but Seeger now felt the same aura again.
"Redbridge University......" Sig's thoughts became more and more divergent, and he thought of many things.
"When I first came to Hongqiao University, I was close to the source of the curse, so the curse recurred, and the red handprint mark appeared on my hand. But what is the source of the curse?" Sigurt stared deeply at the Palace of Verne, which was singing and dancing.
"At first, I thought it was Samuel...... However, when I first met Samuel, he was still mortal and had not been transformed into a second soul. ”
"In other words, he was just a mortal at that time, and it was impossible to stimulate the curse in my body and cause it to reviverate!"
"Who's that?"
Sig's mind began to replay the memories of when he first came to Redbridge University, and vivid faces flashed in his mind one by one, and finally, the memories were locked on a fat-headed, big-eared, flattering man.
"Is that him?" said Sigger.
That man was the vice president who had led Seeger to Redbridge University in the first place, the professor of dynamics who was full of sycophants to please him.
"Only it could be him!" Seeger's eyes sharpened.
After he entered Hongqiao University at that time, this person was the most likely person he came into contact with.
At first, Seeger thought that Redbridge University was just an ordinary institution of higher learning, but as he got to know it better, he felt more and more that it was not simple, and the top of the school seemed to be surrounded by a cloud of fog, with a strong occult background.
Now that I think about it, how can I be able to do the position of vice president of Hongqiao University, how can his status be low!
"Sure enough, the least guarded and noticeable are always those people in the market. "Seeger never thought that a person who had been pleasing himself all the time would be a mystic?
Of course, all this was just Seeger's speculation, and he didn't have any evidence.
"If this speculation is true, then the water of Hongqiao University is much deeper than I imagined. Seeger's eyes were downcast.
The red handprint curse is bound to the female corpse case, and if the vice principal of a dignified school actually has something to do with the female corpse case, then the moral behind this is intriguing.
Thinking of the fact that the senior management of Hongqiao University has been dealing with the secret case of the female corpse in a low-key manner, as if they are covering up something, Sieg feels a little thoughtful and terrified.
The grand ball lasted until late at night, and the erosive life of the aristocracy was vividly reflected here.
Fanny has always been the center of attention of the audience, and has been constantly invited, and even Jon has somehow soaked in a noble lady, who is dancing with a beautiful woman in her arms at the moment.
After the girl named Tess was rejected by Sigurd, she did not reappear, and she ran away.
Sigur felt a little bored, and seeing that it was not too early, he took his leave and went back.
......
Change will come eventually, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Just three days after the dance, there was a seismic earthquake in Hongqiao University.
First, rows of gun-armed soldiers patrolled around the campus, nominally to keep students safe, but the real intentions were clear.
Then there were many mysterious strangers on campus, dressed in casual clothes, roaming around the college. They are none other than the secret police of the kingdom.
The atmosphere on campus changed instantly, and students didn't dare to talk when they walked, and even when they met acquaintances, they just greeted them with a look.
On this day, Sieg also met Fanny's mentor, an old man with a white beard with small round glasses, dressed in a somewhat retro robe, holding a book with a green cover, and looking a bit like a knowledgeable scholar.
"Lord Henry. In one of the building's offices, Sieg bowed slightly.
The other party is a first-class magician, which is also an extremely noble existence within the Wilden family.
Henry sat at a desk, flipping through the reports, with a white mist floating on a cup of black tea.
"You say, there are white fat bugs in those female corpses you saw?" Henry was intrigued by the mysterious female corpse case that Sieg had handed over.
This time, he was ordered to come to Hongqiao University to rectify the rampant revolutionary party and suppress the spreading republican ideology. He was accompanied by many mysteries of the Legion of the Guards, and even some veteran masters who had returned from overseas colonies.
"That's good!" said Sieg, "and I suspect that there may be a shadow of the top brass of Hongqiao University in this." ”
Sieg truthfully stated his reasoning.
Whitebeard Henry thought calmly for a moment, then touched his beard and said, "Interesting, I wrote this down." ”
He then asked Sieg about the situation, and after getting an idea, he let Sieg out.
Sieg walked out of the office and was about to close the door casually, only to hear Henry's faint voice from inside: "You let go of the female corpse case first, you have worked hard during this time, take a good rest, and we will deal with the rest of the matter." ”
Sieg paused for a moment, then nodded faintly in thanks, without saying more.
"Sure enough, he was ostracized. Sigurt let out the Guard's makeshift office building at Redbridge University, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
He has no roots in the Wilden family, except for the name of a Fanny guardian knight, he basically has no connections, and it is normal to be ostracized.
The revolutionary party in Hongqiao University is rampant, and if you can catch some of these mysteries and successfully suppress this trend of thought, you will be able to achieve unlimited success.
And the credit, naturally, is that the fewer people share, the better.
They weren't sure of the high-level attitude of Redbridge University, so they sent Sig over to test it. Now that the temptation is over, or some agreement has been reached between the higher-ups, Seeger's mission is over.
Sig walked down the path of the Red Bridge University, and at some point came to the small lake again, and then found a wooden chair to sit down.
The morning sun shines on the lake, sparkling. The cold weather in early winter also makes the water vapor on the surface of the lake steam.
"This picture is a bit like that oil painting. Seeger remembered the picture of lovers at sunset.
Along the lake is a quiet trail where many students come early in the morning to run and exercise.
At this time, Sieg noticed a familiar figure approaching him.
An old man with a peaked cap and a thick coat is leading a golden retriever dog for a leisurely walk along the lake.
"Professor McLaren. Sieg greeted with a smile.
Professor McLaren also saw Seeger, and he had a good impression of the mysterious man who was not from Redbridge University, but had always insisted on coming to his class, and immediately greeted him with a smile and walked over with his pet dog.
"Your puppy is so cute. Sieg couldn't help but pick up the golden retriever puppy and pet its head.
"Hehe, puppies are sometimes like children, innocent and immaculate, and are man's best friend. Professor McLaren sat down next to Sieg and smiled.
Sigma didn't speak, but continued to tease the golden retriever in her arms.
"Sometimes I really want to be like it, carefree, don't do anything, do nothing. Professor McLaren said suddenly.
Sieg turned his head and smiled, "Professor, you're thinking too much. Not every puppy is as lucky as your pet to meet a good owner. ”
If you only see a dog living a carefree life, then you think that being a dog is a belief in happiness, which is very wrong. There are still countless stray dogs in the world that are hungry and homeless all day long.
"But I just want to be a dog. Professor McLaren laughed: "It's too tiring to be a human being. ”
Sig looked at the old professor a little strangely, and secretly said that the professors of the philosophy department are so different, and their thinking is amazing.
"It's really tiring to be a human being. Sigurt nodded, "I don't want to be a human either, but I want to be a higher-level creature." ”
People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.
A higher level creature means more power...... And higher freedom!
"Everyone has their own aspirations. Professor McLaren smiled.
Anyway, they had nothing to do, so the two sat on wooden chairs and chatted, from history to philosophy, and the two talked a lot.
The two chatted for a long time, and finally Professor McLaren took the puppy and said goodbye to Sig.
Before leaving, the gray-haired old professor said meaningfully to Sigger: "The school has been chaotic recently, my classes may be suspended for a while, don't stay in school, go out for a walk." ”
"Is he hinting at me?!" Sigurd's mind moved.
Looking at the other party's departing figure, he was thoughtful.
