Chapter 4: Investigation

As early as dinner, Lu Mingfei used magic to check on his uncle's family and confirmed that they were all ordinary people.

So he turned his focus to his parents and senior Chu Zihang, and prepared to start the investigation.

……

Late at night, after everyone in the family was asleep, Lu Mingfei, who was wearing a black sweatshirt and a mask and gloves, left through the bedroom window.

His purpose tonight was to sneak into Shilan Middle School to peek at Chu Zihang's volunteer intention form, which would ask students to fill out their college aspirations form after they entered their third year of high school. If Chu Zihang's statement that he wants to study abroad is true, then there may be a school Chu Zihang wants to go to on the intention form.

Originally, Lu Mingfei would never have done this kind of thing when he went to school late at night to peek at the information, but after listening to his uncle talk about his father's abnormality, he thought of Chu Zihang, who was also excellent and lonely, and he felt that there might be a connection between the two. Holding Lu Mingfei, who would rather miss than let go, decided to investigate Chu Zihang first.

……

The school looked a little gloomy in the dark, and all the teachers and students left after the holiday, and only the security guards on duty were still sticking to their posts.

After the security guards returned to the security room, Lu Mingfei climbed over the fence used by students to skip school and secretly went to the model of the teaching building.

He already knew the location of the surveillance, carefully avoided the surveillance and came to the archive room, and after confirming that it was a blind spot in the surveillance, he walked to the door.

Condensing magic power at his fingertips, Lu Mingfei drew a rune on the wooden door of the archive room. With a "click", the lock was opened.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this was an ordinary mechanical lock, and if it was replaced by an electronic lock, his Rune would not be able to open.

After entering the archive room, the door was lightly closed, and Lu Mingfei began to look for the target.

The golden light shone out of his eyes, and the golden pupils were lit up, and the darkness in front of him could not cause obstacles to Lu Mingfei.

After finding the bookshelf where the materials were stored in the third year of high school, Lu Mingfei quickly saw the goal.

Opening the file bag with Chu Zihang's name written on it, looking at the photo with the same face as in his memory, Lu Mingfei was sure that this was not someone else with the same name.

Looking down the name, he quickly found Chu Zihang's intended school.

"Kassel Academy."

Seeing this unfamiliar name, Lu Mingfei was a little puzzled, and he never heard anyone mention it when he listened to his classmates discuss various famous foreign schools on weekdays.

Pressed with doubts in his heart, he decided to check the school after leaving.

Restoring the file to its original state, Lu Mingfei cleared the traces of infiltration, bypassed the surveillance, and left the school again.

……

After leaving school, he did not go straight home, but turned around and went to the Internet café he frequented.

"Yo! Here it comes? As soon as the network administrator saw him come in, he greeted him warmly, and Lu Mingfei, who contributed almost all his pocket money here, is also a celebrity here.

"Just turn on a machine." Lu Mingfei took out the only change he had.

"Old location, have fun." The network administrator clicked a few times on the control computer and handed him a card.

After finding a place to sit down, Lu Ming turned on the machine unskillfully. Although he has an old laptop, it was eliminated from his uncle's office, and it was loud and slow, which was completely incomparable to the configuration of an Internet café.

After opening the web page, after typing "Kassel Academy" in the search bar, a bunch of results pop up.

After skipping the advertisement, Lu Mingfei saw the one he was looking for.

This is a private university located just outside of Chicago, United States, and is a fraternity school of the University of Chicago. There are many award-winning photos on the student profile page on the website, and intercollegiate events such as equestrian, rowing, and swimming are held annually in Lake Michigan.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei was puzzled. With Chu Zihang's excellence, the University of Chicago is where he should go. Although this Kassel Academy looks good, it is much more than the University of Chicago.

Lu Mingfei decided to ask someone.

He opened the QQ page and found a friend named Lao Tang, who happened to be online.

"Is it there? Ask you something? Lu Mingfei sent a message in the past.

Lao Tang is a friend of Lu Mingfei who met in the game group, Chinese American, living in New York, USA, and it is appropriate to ask him about this.

Without waiting for a while, the other party replied to the message. "In, in, it's really rare to see you online at this time, this is what you call an 'American routine'?"

Seeing his complaints, Lu Mingfei didn't intend to explain, and went straight to the point: "Have you ever heard of the Kassel Academy?" ”

"Why are you asking this?" Ronald Tang, who was on the other side of the world, returned in surprise after seeing the questions from netizens.

"I have a longing senior who wants to study abroad, and I applied to this college, I think you are in the United States, maybe I want to help him ask if you know." Lu Mingfei casually made up a reason.

Old Tang thought about it and decided to tell Lu Mingfei the truth: "I haven't heard of Kassel Academy, but I know the word Kassel. ”

"Be specific." Lu Mingfei felt that he had found the right person.

"Because of the special nature of my work, I have easy access to information that ordinary people can't reach. Kassel is one of them. Old Don paused and continued: "Kassel is a rumor in my industry, and it is rumored that no one who has come into contact with it will end well, and I don't know what it is. I don't know if this has anything to do with the Kassel Academy you asked, but you should advise your senior to give up, it probably won't be good to get this word on it. ”

After reading this string of words, Lu Mingfei felt that he was closer to the truth.

"Thanks for the reminder, I'll try to persuade him." It is impossible to persuade Chu Zihang, and he is ready to contact him to take a look.

……

After returning from the Internet café, Lu Mingfei stared at the ceiling and thought about what kind of reason to use to meet Chu Zihang, and after checking Chu Zihang's file, he remembered the other party's home address.

When he had a draft in his heart, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Just as he closed his eyes, a black shadow appeared beside his bedside, looking at him curiously with golden eyes.

Lu Mingfei suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the bed!

There is nothing there.

Frowning in confusion, he turned around and went back to sleep.

On the rooftop opposite the window, a boy in a small black dress sits on it and shakes his feet.

"Brother, what have you been through? How did your soul become ......" The boy paused and smiled, and said the latter words: "So funny. ”

……

In the United States, in a vast complex on the outskirts of Chicago.

Von Schneider, Executive Director of the Kassel Academy, and Hilbert Jean Angers, Rector of Kassel, discuss the admission of new students.

"He's good, isn't he?" Ange took a sip of tea, looked at Chu Zihang's information in his hand, and said to Schneider, a man wearing a breathing mask and having burns on his face.

"His adoptive father and biological mother are ordinary people, and we have no record of his biological father, and we have not yet investigated the origin of his ancestry." Schneider said as he looked at the headmaster, who seemed to be here for afternoon tea instead of listening to the mission report.

"Don't you already have a plan?" Ange put down the information in his hand.

Schneider looked at the photo of Chu Zihang on the table, "I already have arrangements for him, if he completes my test to prove his excellence, I will personally bring him back and make him my student." ”

"Looks like you're interested in him?" Ange smiled, "Good luck finding a successor." ”

At this moment, a blonde man in a black trench coat knocked on the door and walked in. "Someone in that coastal city is searching for information about Kassel on the Internet again. ”

Schneider was puzzled when he heard this: "It's the school season, it's not surprising that someone will have a desire for our school, right?" Why report separately? ”

The man seemed to be frightened by Schneider's tone, glanced carefully at the headmaster and said, "Norma asked for this person's search record to be submitted to the headmaster." He handed over the document in his hand.

Ange took the document and looked surprised when he saw it.

"Looks like I'm going to let you run it yourself." Ange handed the information to Schneider.

Schneider took the document, which was a photo of Lu Mingfei when he came out of the Internet café.
