Time went back a little bit, and when the old man and Dr. Humpty Dumpty left the ward and rushed back to their studio, the few people who remained in the ward also began their own actions.

In fact, when the old man entered the hospital room, Liqi, who was standing in the inner room, took advantage of the fact that his attention was all focused on Hermia to activate the spell of visual recognition of magical connection. In an instant, the complex trajectories of the interconnected magic of various colors were revealed in her vision.

The trajectories of mana between the caster and the receiver are interconnected, and in the infirmary where the products of mana are used extensively, the trajectories of mana are as dense as cobwebs. Different colors represent different people and different magical powers, and the cobwebs of magic become colorful as a result.

Enduring the visual torment of the magical brilliance, Lizzie discerned the many magical structures that crossed the air. As expected, Hepburn and Danvers, who were unconscious in bed, had a dim silver wire connected to the old man's body, but at the same time there were several identical silver wires pointing in other directions.

The old man hurried away because his studio was threatened, and as soon as they stepped out of the door of the hospital room, Lizzie followed suit. But this time, instead of following the departing two, she began to search for the silver threads that pointed in other directions.

Curt has taken on the responsibility of negotiating with the old man, and Lizzie has to solve the magic phenomenon that Hepburn and Danvers have been given to them. She noticed that the old man had multiple silver threads entangled with the silver threads on the unconscious two, and that might be the key.

Oscar wanted to follow Lizzie, but was stopped by Mio without a word. It doesn't take a word for Oscar to know what Mio wants to say - it is best for Lizzie to act alone. Now their abilities are not enough to help Lizzie, but will become an obstacle for her.

Oscar glanced at Mio's serious eyes, and he had no choice but to put his mind to rest for the time being. Curt had previously told them some of the intelligence about the True Eye. And prepare them for any moment to get into trouble – Oscar may already be involved.

He silently stared at Hemia, who was "further examining" Hepburn in a comatose bed, and the Lamian snake woman took out some never-before-seen tools from her small bag and fiddled with them in her hands, occasionally showing some slightly strange expressions on her face.

Seriously...... Compared with Lizzie, who has excellent combat effectiveness, Oscar is more worried about being examined by this unreliable "doctor". After all, even if there is a problem that cannot be solved, Liqi always has a way to get out of the way, but the comatose Hepburn can't even refuse.

"Curt, how's your side?"

Observe the silver thread in the distance. Lizzie strode through the infirmary. The thin silver lines were noticeable in the somewhat dull air, but they stretched in the direction of the underneath the infirmary—Lizzie didn't remember the basement registered on the infirmary's floor plan.

"There was nothing worth seeing, and the old man did not seem to have left any evidence against him. Curt's voice came from the other side of the soul connection. He had already gone through the old man's studio, "I'll try to convince him to abandon that plan." ”

Although I think the success rate can be regarded as basically zero, after all, he is the kind of research fanatic who continues to do "forbidden truth" after being disposed of in that way, Curt half-jokingly added.

"I think a 'normal mage' wouldn't give up his research philosophy for the sake of 'punishment', and I think you should know that all too well. Especially this kind of guy who has devoted most of his life to research. How could they have given up on a charge of 'breaking a taboo'?"

Curt has seen many talented sorcerers who seem quite opinionated. They will stick to the path of research because of the "truth" they know, and there are not a few mad magicians who are so enthusiastic about their research that they abandon their original status and even their identity as human beings.

"That's true. ”

Curt, who was on the other side of the thought, was silent for a moment, and then said in a relaxed tone: "Although it is impossible to generalize all situations, this old man is also a competent 'seeker'...... It is unlikely that he would have given up his beliefs with just words. ”

This path is not easy compared to defeating the opponent with mere force, and it may even become too difficult to implement for too many reasons. But even so, Curt insisted on using dialogue to negotiate ideas and negotiate solutions as much as possible.

Knowing this, Lizzie sighed and said, "Forget it, I know you have your own ideas - although it seems somewhat unrealistic. If you can convince him with negotiations. We wouldn't have clashed with them in the first place for that reason. ”

is also a magician, after knowing the other party's research direction. In most cases, it is enough to understand the spell prepared by the other party. So Lizzie already had some guesses about what the old man's plan would be—it made her even more eager to break through before the plan worked.

"Curt, there's something I want to ask you...... Is there a store in the underground part of this infirmary building?" distinguishing the tiny silver thread in the scattered magic network in the air, Lizzie's footsteps suddenly stopped, "Even if it's some rumors, is there any news about this?"

There was no way, and the status quo forced her to stop—in the spell-corrected horizon, several thin silver threads tangled together and passed through the nearby wall. Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Lizzie could feel it stretching deeper underground.

There was only a solid wall in front of her, and even if Lizzie didn't want to stop, there was no way out - there was no way ahead, so Lizzie had to stop at the base of the wall. Tapping it with your hand, the wall is undoubtedly solid, but without the spell that has been applied to isolate the Rubik's Cube, it allows the magic lines to pass through easily.

If this is Borderlands, Lizzie is happy to tear it down in order to open a way forward. But after all, this is the most central infirmary building of Catrice Academy, and even she would not be so lawless as to destroy the property belonging to the academy in front of so many people.

"There is usually some space left in the basement of a hospital...... As for the infirmary, although it may not come in handy, but even if there is, it won't seem too strange, right? Ah, the two of them are back, you can continue to act according to the pre-agreed agreement for the time being, and I will talk to them first. ”

At this point, Curt was unilaterally silent, and Lizzie, on the other hand, temporarily interrupted her soul connection with Curt. She no longer had to wonder if Curt's "underground facilities" were true, she just needed to find out where the entrance to the space below would be located.

In general, most regular hospitals have facilities built underground, and a large part of them are temporary rooms for the bodies of the deceased. However, the college's infirmary building may not need such facilities, but it should be designed with the same function.

She looked at the plan of the medical building posted not far away, a geometric pattern of simple lines marked with many words indicating the role of each room. But no matter how Lizzie looked at it, the floor plan was the same as every time she had seen it before, with no staircase leading underground.

Is it going to be investigated again with a spell of ghost detachment?

This was the most convenient way for Lizzie to think of, it was indeed convenient for spirits who would not be physically hindered to investigate this kind of space where the entrance was located, but she didn't think that the old man hadn't thought of this—it was possible that he had caused the abnormal gathering of spirits that had appeared in the art building before.

"How do you need help?" "As Lizzie was contemplating the floor plan of the infirmary attached to the wall, a slightly hoarse female voice suddenly came from behind her, "I see how long you've been around here, and you're still staring at the floor plan...... Is there something you're looking for?"

Lizzie followed the resemblance of a voice and looked back at a woman in a white coat. Lizzie had indeed seen her so that she had snuck into the infirmary that night, and she had scared the young woman into thinking that something terrible was hiding in the darkness.

"No...... It's nothing. ”

Lizzie shook her head, standing against the light like a skeleton wrapped in darkness, which made the woman almost frightened again: "I was just thinking that most hospitals will have a basement or something like that, but there doesn't seem to be such a design in the academy's infirmary." ”

It's just a feeling, but when she said these words, Lizzie took advantage of the situation to unfold a spell that could hear the other party's shallow thoughts. This spell is not even a mind reading, it is just a collection of some details of the other person's thinking into his own ears.

Swift and discreet - just right at this time.

"Basement?"

Seeing the badge pinned to Lizzie's chest, representing the apprentice of the Academy's Theory Department, the young woman's face softened slightly. But Lizzie wasn't going to miss her brow twitching unnaturally when she heard herself say "basement or something like that."

"Hmm...... I don't know why you're thinking about this......" The woman frowned, as if she was thinking about how to explain it better, "but the infirmary building shouldn't have that - after all, there's nothing to save in the underground space." ”

This explanation is not true, her erratic demeanor has already told Lizzie that she is just trying to find a reason to fool her. At the same time, some of the fragments of thought that were inadvertently revealed in her speech turned into gray and black fragments, which were collected by Liqi little by little.

For her unconsciously help, Lizzie didn't pick it out, just smiled back with a friendly smile: "I see, thank you for suing me." ”

She already knew something useful. (To be continued!)
