It was late at night, and most of the people at Catrice College had already fallen asleep, and the soft dreams were as hard to pull themselves out as warm water.

The entire territory of the academy has been shrouded in silence, and even the usual most noisy spell area has been conquered by silence. However, the infirmary building was uncharacteristically noisy, and tonight was destined to be a noisy night for the staff who were keeping vigil in it.

"Can you tell us what you called us here for?" said a tall guard in a simple protective gear, also attracted by the sound of footsteps, "Is there something here? a thief, or a dangerous monster?"

He waved the short stick in his hand as if he were demonstrative, and the ancient words attached to it glowed blue-white, like lightning dancing in the darkness. This was the armament that the academy had allotted them, but he had not had the opportunity to use it since he started working.

"Yes, yes, I heard your movements, and I was so scared that I didn't even bother with the medicinal wine I had just concocted. A chubby doctor said, his voice so loud that it was quite harsh in his ears, "Better not tell me that you're kidding me!"

With the person who took the lead in shouting, both the medical staff and the security personnel became nervous. They knew that some of the people they worked in the same building had bad tempers, and if they got into trouble, they might get into trouble.

Standing near the two people who were shouting loudly, a small crowd also stirred. They cautiously distanced themselves from the person who was talking. At the same time, there was a cacophony not far away, and several more guards appeared. They held short sticks of the same model in their hands and looked around warily.

"Hey, Najib, what's going on here?" the security officer who arrived later looked at the tall guard in front of him with a smile on his face, and most of his brown face was written with curiosity, "It's really rare, everyone is together." Do you want to have a meeting?"

"Ryker, how many times have I sued you, just give me a hard time when I work! Call me Najim, not 'Najib' - listen, don't bring your habits on the street to the job, or you'll be in good hands!"

He hadn't finished his sentence yet. His joke was interrupted by a sharp, tall guard he called Najib. The tall guard held his head up. He clutched the stick in his hand and waved it in a rather haughty manner, and he clearly disdained the jokes from the mouths of the guards who greeted him.

"Well, as you wish...... You're the boss, and whatever you say is what you say. Coldly greeted, Lake shrugged his shoulders and reluctantly said to the tall guard named Najim, "So what's going on now - even if there was a thief, he wouldn't be able to steal here, would he?"

After all, this is the very center of the Cutrice Academy. Defenses are strong enough to deter even the most daring thieves. A visit may lead to stealing enough money to cover a lifetime's expenses, but they all know it. The deal definitely doesn't pay off.

The prestige of the academy makes the work of the guards easy, but their existence is the prestige of the academy. The guards who were directly under Cruise François sometimes had to be busy with more work than their job, and the rest of the work, they really didn't have any special work to do.

The job of a college guard is quite lucrative, so many mercenaries are willing to work for the academy - such a stable and peaceful job is exactly what they have been seeking. Just perform simple guard work and get paid handsomely, so why not?

"Excuse me, everyone, maybe my footsteps are making you nervous. ”

Just as the crowd gathered here was in a commotion, a doctor in a white coat stood up from the crowd and said, "Although the question was very sudden, did you see a guy in black running from the direction of the corridor here?"

"I'm sure everyone heard the door slamming - I was patrolling around here and I saw the guy coming out of a ward. With that, he beckoned Lake, who walked over to a nearby railing, to stand in the middle of the hallway, gestured at his size, and continued, "That guy is a little shorter than Lake, a little thinner than him, and he runs very fast, and disappears into the darkness all at once......

The doctor was still describing to his colleagues the image of the man in black he had seen. According to what he said, he only saw the back of the man in black in the distance, but he didn't see it clearly. However, there are only a few ways for the other party to escape, and the people who come later should bump into him.

"No, we didn't see anyone when we arrived......" a doctor who had arrived from the direction he was pointing shook his head after a moment's thought, "and because everyone's footsteps were loud, we couldn't have no unmistakable voices mixed in. ”

He and the rest of the men had arrived only after hearing the sound of footsteps that had become a clutter, and they could prove to each other that what they were saying was true. They didn't see the man in black fleeing in the opposite direction of their advance - in fact, they didn't see a single figure.

"I see, since you all said that, then surely you didn't see that guy......" He looked down for a moment, then nodded, "but I did see a suspicious guy fleeing in that direction, and that guy wasn't necessarily a thief." ”

Listening to what he said, the surrounding medical staff became nervous, if it was really as he said, then the man in black who infiltrated the hospital might be a guy with ulterior motives. Suspicion gives rise to dark ghosts, although they don't know what the other party wants, but such doubts make people feel more dangerous.

Hidden in the shadows, Lizzie looked at the crowd that became agitated and said to herself, this doctor who secretly influenced the way everyone thought - he was the short and fat doctor who appeared in Hepburn's hospital room.

Likewise, he was the first doctor to rush to the hallway. The moment the voice made by Lizzie sounded, his steps became rather unnatural. There is no doubt that the "man in black" in his mouth does not exist. After all, even Lizzie, who had been hiding here before him, didn't see the guy.

Lizzie was hiding just enough to catch a glimpse of everyone's movements, and it was hard for them to notice her. She used the shadow created by the spell to obscure her figure, and cautiously peered at the whispering medical staff in the hallway, the Humpty Dumpty doctor's plan seemed to have succeeded, and everyone seemed to subconsciously agree with the existence of the man in black, and began to discuss his purpose.

After a few moments of discussion, the medical staff divided into several groups. Some were responsible for inspecting the rooms on the floor, while others returned to the duty room to wait for further results. The guards were also organized, and they were assigned to patrol squads. Responsible for protecting them in case of danger.

Soon, as they had done when they came, the medical staff had dispersed as planned, and the stocky doctor was back in his own personal research room. Avoided the sight of the crowd. Lizzie sneaked up and down the wide hallway following Dr. Humpty Dumpty's back.

It's not a long way to Dr. Humpty Dumpty's destination. But he didn't seem to have any intention of going to his lab. He quickened his pace, passing through a corridor leading to the first floor, and then turned into a large hall with open doors, in which there were already people waiting for him.

With a soft click, the hall brightened, and Lizzie, who was hiding outside the light, approached the hall and tried to peek into the hall.

"Look at you panting, what's going on upstairs?"

The old man, who was sitting on a stool in the middle of the hall, looked at the short and fat doctor who had just entered the hall and said, as expected. He was the old doctor who later entered Hepburn's ward. It's not surprising that he's here...... If the Humpty Dumpty doctor had a companion, he would be the most likely one.

"I suspect that that bastard François is investigating us - not your friends. It's you and me, and those involved. ”

The stocky doctor pulled out a chair, and although the hall was bright, his face was still a little dim. The beads of sweat on his forehead were almost dripping, so he had to take off his white coat and throw it aside, then loosen his shirt and sit down opposite the old man.

"Oh...... What do you think, Frace?" The old man raised an eyebrow, apparently unfazed by the concerns in the Humpty Dumpty Doctor's mind, "Although François has been investigating the situation of the True Eye lately, he obviously can't get out of Wigginas here. ”

There were people in the infirmary building who had been placed by the "True Eye", and of course Lizzie had thought of it early on. However, the fact that these people were able to conceal that Cruise François was working in the academy and had not been shown by him all this time is really a blessing or a deliberate act of François.

The subtle expression on the face of the Humpty Dumpty doctor reappeared, and he seemed to be quite afraid of the old man, and he would tremble and ponder every word he spoke.

"Alright, Frass, you don't have to worry, or you're going to disrupt our plans. The old man was calm and relaxed, and said slowly while pouring tea, "I don't mind telling you, we all saw your previous appearance in our eyes—yes, I began to think that you are a trustworthy friend." ”

"But ......"

Listening to the old man's words, Dr. Humpty Dumpty seemed to have something to say, but his words were immediately blocked: "But the past has passed, whether you can become one of us, we have to see the next table...... That's the most important point, you know. ”

After speaking, the old man was silent for a moment, then nodded, and handed an envelope to Dr. Humpty Dumpty: "Don't worry, Fras, I think you'd better go back and rest, you look tired." It's okay, I'll take care of the rest for you. That's what happened, and it didn't do any harm. ”

The old man picked up a potion and shook it, and a string of bubbles bubbled out of the light blue solution. Then he gave Dr. Humpty Dumpty a crooked smile. The short and fat doctor was stunned, he opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't remember what to say, so he had to close his mouth.

The two of them didn't seem to know that in the darkness near the hall was a Lizzie who was silently observing their movements. (To be continued!)
