As a creature that values sociality, it is difficult for human beings to completely sever their relationship with other people as long as they remain in the structure of "society". Even if you don't deliberately build a network of interpersonal relationships, you will unknowingly get involved with other people, which is unavoidable.

People who are socially cut off are actually not much different from death.

The problem is that people's deep dependence on interpersonal relationships is often one of the reasons for their constant troubles, and the problems caused by interpersonal relationships are often more difficult to solve than the ones they provoke. It can be seen that Oscar is in such trouble right now - and he has brought it to Lizzie.

"Calm down, Oscar - we should have asked to keep your brain calm at all times, right?" the usual cold tone came out of Lizzie's mouth, interrupting Oscar's inquiry, "Even if you say such a brainless question, I can't figure out what you're asking." ”

Lizzie and Curt have told Oscar many times to stay calm, but the consistent personality cannot be changed by a few words from others. When confronted with practical problems, he is always unable to improvise, and his brain loses the ability to think if he is not careful.

Sighing, Lizzie probably guessed what made Oscar so nervous: "Let's make the cause and effect clear...... So maybe I can help you. Your friend...... I remember it was called Hepburn, right? What happened to him, why are you in such a hurry to find him now?"

Taking a deep breath, Oscar did his best to calm himself down as Lizzie requested. But as he did so, his body continued to shake with heavy gasps, and he probably calmed his brain again. But his clenched hands betrayed his thoughts.

Finally, his breathing finally stabilized. Looking at Lizzie, he explained as briefly as he could why he was here now.

Oscar and Hepburn have a really good relationship. However, they are not in the same class. When he went to Hepburn's class to look for him at noon today, he heard from them that Hepburn had never come back since he said after the first exercise class in the morning that he was going to Yinyao Tower.

Based on Oscar's understanding of Hepburn, he is not a person who is bold enough to skip school for something. The actions of the apprentice, who was timid enough to be cowardly, had always been within the constraints of the rules, making it impossible for him to be even the slightest bit unsubstantiated.

Curt then searched for Hepburn along the path from the Elemental Building to the Silver Tower, and he walked every possible path. And from the person in charge of the transfer station to the administrator of the library of the Yinyao Tower, as long as there was anyone who could see Hepburn, he tried to ask them as much as possible.

Still, a busy lunch break. Oscar didn't find a single word about Hepburn. It was as if he had disappeared, and his name was not even seen in the entry and exit register of the Silver Yao Tower, so it was certain that he did not come to the Silver Yao Tower as he said.

At this time, Oscar finally remembered that there was only one thing Hepburn had done that might violate the "rules" - and that was that he had joined the spell research group formed by Danvers. And those people are clearly unwilling to let him leave the research group, and they still want him to return.

As soon as he thought that those people would have crooked their brains and wanted to use forceful means to get Hepburn back to the research group, Oscar, who had no good feelings for those people, immediately rushed to the direction of the theory department building. He didn't just want to ask for Lizzie's advice, he wanted help from her.

After all, in his impression, Liqi was the most reliable in the entire academy. And the most trustworthy companion in combat - although Lizzie doesn't necessarily think so.

"I see...... You mean they're moving?" After listening to Oscar's account of his actions, Lizzie hesitated for a moment and said, "Someone came to greet me yesterday, and today I forcibly took the apprentice away. Aren't these guys doing anything too lawless?"

Originally, she also had a good impression of Danvers' spell research team, after all, their arrival might have knowledge that Lizzie didn't know, and Danvers's calm words and deeds were more in line with Liqi's impression of the image of a magician. Generally. Their organizational image is exactly what they advertise.

However, those apprentices who do things without brains make the last bit of goodwill disappear, and even the best leaders or organizational image will be offset by the negative impact of those insiders who add to the chaos. Lizzie had a hunch. Danfoss's group could be destroyed by his men.

Lizzie felt that it would not be strange if the teenager in front of her did anything to help his friend, so she looked at Oscar and asked, "Since you have already thought of the identity of the suspect." There must be something in mind - so, what do you want to do?"

What does Lizzie think, if Oscar has already thought of a countermeasure, then it is okay to help him, but if he just sees himself as a useful helper, then there is nothing to say.

"That's what I thought...... They will be in a hurry to take Hepburn, which means that they must have a plan to implement it in the near future. Although Oscar is prone to enthusiasm, his thinking ability does have a good level, "otherwise he would not have been taken away in the middle of the class." ”

This is also what Lizzie cares about, an apprentice who disappears for half a day can use the excuse of absenteeism, but if he disappears from the academy for a whole day, it is impossible not to attract attention. In particular, apprentices who board in the academy do not return to bed at night and strictly violate the rules of discipline.

An apprentice who always abides by the rules of the academy steps on several prescribed cordons in a single day is already an act that will make the teacher in charge pay attention to it. Unless there is a group behind Danfoss that can compete with the academy management, it is impossible for his group to make such a big move within the academy.

"It's absolutely useless for us to confront him now, that guy will definitely find all sorts of reasons to get involved, and we don't have conclusive evidence to prove our hypothesis. It's hard to succeed in a head-on attack, so we need to use small means - such as infiltration or tailgating. ”

As much as she can think of, Oscar's growth still makes Lizzie somewhat agree, she nodded and said, "Or use some spells to find people......"

Nicky had barely said half a sentence before someone answered on her behalf

"No problem, I'll help you find it too!" It was Mio Dustard who spoke, and she had been silent on the side when Lizzie was talking to Oscar just now, and Lizzie almost disappeared when she had disappeared, "At this time, one more person equals one more strength, isn't it!"

Oscar, who was recovering from his nervousness, also noticed Mio Distad, who was eager to help. After glancing at her, he immediately looked at Lizzie with an inquiring look. Calming down, he didn't figure out what this almost out-of-the-box guy was thinking.

Lizzie shook her head, she couldn't understand Mio Disstad's thought circuit, "No, if you want to play a friend game, it's better to find a relatively safe partner." It's none of your business - Oscar is looking for me, so it's better for you not to get involved. ”

In the process of interpersonal communication, friends are a fairly important object. Even if they are not related by blood, several people who have become friends for some reason usually maintain a relationship of mutual trust. For most people, friends are partners who can be trusted and who will help each other.

From the perspective of universal values, a person's friendship relationship is often reflected in the complex structure of "society", and becomes one of the conditions for others to perceive him. As for his ultimate success, it is often up to others, not his own, to judge.

Let the values of others dictate your own behavior, and impose your own values on others...... It's weird for yourself or for anyone else.

Lizzie does not share the idea that "one's own worth needs to be judged by others".

Pointless to cater to the demands of others, meaningless to follow others' opinions, meaningless to adapt to other people's ideas...... What is the ultimate point of such a lifestyle that is so excessive that it obliterates self-consciousness for the sake of others? Do you want to be yourself, or do you want to be who you are in the eyes of others?

It's a pity that Mio Disstad doesn't think too much about such complex things like Lizzie, and is a bit like Oscar, who is also the kind of person who acts when she thinks about it. It swept through like a typhoon, not caring what the consequences of his actions would be.

"Of course a friend's friend is also a friend! When you were in elementary school, didn't the teacher tell your friend that he needed help when he was in trouble?" Mio Disstad obviously didn't understand the reason why the two didn't want her to get involved, but instead put forward a lot of big truths in righteous words, "Besides, what can you do with just the two of you?

Lizzie was tempted to tell Sù that she didn't have an elementary school education herself, but she would certainly find another reason to try to convince herself. And at times like these, one more man is one more strength, and in that regard, Mio Disstad is right. But Lizzie was skeptical that she could do anything.

"Well, as you said, one more person is one more strength. Not wanting to spend too much time with Mio Distad on these things, Lizzie was going to force her back in the easiest way possible, "As you can see, now that we're looking for an apprentice who doesn't know where to go, what can you do?"

"Absolutely. ”

Just as he had expected Lizzie's questioning, Mio Disstad smiled, took out an unaesthetic plumb from his pocket, and said mysteriously, "If it were something else, I would still be a little troubled." But if I'm looking for something, that's what I'm best at. (To be continued!)
