The infirmary building was so silent at night that it was as if the sound of a needle falling on the ground would be heard by all patrols on the same floor.

The sound of shuffling footsteps came from both ends of the corridor, echoing under the empty corridor, and their owners seemed to have become accustomed to each other's pace, so they did not react to the faint sound of footsteps not far from the same road.

Listening to the sound of approaching footsteps, Lizzie lightly touched the bed in the corner of the room, carefully observing the patient who was unconscious in the bed. She hadn't forgotten the face very quickly—after all, he had been beaten up by her near the herb field, and she had passed out beside Danvers in the Abbey of Wigginas.

Perhaps after being found in the monastery of Wigginas, the members of the academy who came to his aid did indeed send him and his companions to the infirmary for treatment. But he should not have remained in the infirmary "now", because according to Mio, these people were soon discharged from the hospital.

So what's going on? All the information in her hands has become chaotic, and this situation makes Lizzie fall into thought.

It's not just Cruise François who tells Curt that the information is different from the reality, but even Oscar and Mio's information on Sùriki seem to be a bit problematic. Danfoss and his companions had been assigned to an adjacent ward, and when they visited Hepburn during the day, they had already moved out of their original ward.

And now this fortuitous appearance is enough to prove that not all of Danfoss's companions have been "discharged from the hospital", and perhaps many others remain in the infirmary except for this apprentice. They were just scattered from their original wards to other wards, and their health did not improve.

Take a closer look. Their breathing was smooth and they didn't look like there was anything wrong with their bodies. If they're just asleep, it's easy to believe. But in fact, it was not that simple - the magic in his body was slowly escaping, and he didn't know where it had disappeared.

The symptoms are very similar to those of Hepburn and Danfoss, but slightly better than them. But that's just a slow degree. Other than that, it can be described almost identically, unconscious with no damage on them, and no obvious spell damage in sight.

Mana escape is not uncommon, and the human body will naturally accumulate mana, but at the same time, it will also dissipate too much mana outside the body. If you look at it from the point of view of magic, the human body can be compared to a kettle. And the magic that stores the human body is the liquid that is contained in a kettle.

Physical injuries can sometimes affect the accumulation of mana, like a hole in a container of water, and the mana will naturally flow out of the wound like a liquid. However, just like water, the magic that flows out of the body will escape into the surrounding air, making it easy to notice the abnormality.

And this is clearly not the case with these unconscious apprentices. The magic escaping from their bodies did not appear in the air, as if they had disappeared out of thin air. It looked like these unconscious apprentices were still driving spells that didn't know where they were.

This situation was unnatural, and Lizzie had never seen such a situation before - she could only know about Hepburn's abnormal body changes. If it were Cruise François, she might be able to mobilize a large number of sorcerers to do research, and she could only judge by experience and knowledge.

With Liqi's magical knowledge and a little medical knowledge, although she can know the status of the phenomenon, she can't explain the principle for a moment. If she is given enough time, she may be able to learn about the situation as quickly as possible without hurting their bodies.

But the current situation did not give her a safe environment to investigate. It was also unlikely that she would be asked to take an injured person for study, but that also further fueled her suspicions.

Since the information obtained in the hands is different from the actual situation, it may mean that a conspiracy is brewing with this information as an element. The aid of the Danvers Stone Guò "True Eye" gains the ability to cast spells. And he was apparently put to good use by the helpers.

As for the discrepancies, Lizzie doesn't think that Cruise François is deliberately trying to deceive Curt - after all, he is the one who voluntarily commissioned Curt to investigate. But just because he didn't intend to deceive didn't mean that his men were necessarily loyal to him.

Cruise François, who had to deal with many things, trusted his men, but they were not necessarily worthy of his trust. Even the pervasive "Wind of the Twelve Directions" may not be able to know everything in his own domain - let alone on the premise that there are betrayers under his command.

Lizzie was almost certain that Cruise François had a traitor, but the academy was so big. She didn't even know all the employees, and it was impossible for her to determine the identity of the betrayer. But the "True Eye" is an organization with a large number of sorcerer members. It's impossible to say that they don't have anything to do with the academy.

Lizzie decides that in the rest of her college life, she should pay attention to someone who may have something to do with the True Eye, and now she should focus on investigating the situation in the infirmary.

Listen to the footsteps getting closer. Lizzie felt she could alarm them a little. Most of the people who have dark ghosts in their hearts are suspicious, and after something goes wrong in the place where the secret is hidden, these people* will go to investigate some places that are unwilling to be revealed by outsiders to appease themselves.

So she did it again, and after hiding herself in a dark corner that would not be illuminated by the gallery lamp, she manipulated her magic and began to weave a spell to make noise. Unlike women who attract talent, this time Lizzie chooses to let the things in the infirmary make their own noise.

This spell is not complicated, and it can be completed much faster than usual on a full moon night when the magic is abundant. In an instant, Lizzie's spell was complete, and the colorless magic spread, condensing into a dim tentacle that slowly pushed open the door of the ward and closed it as quickly as possible.

Bang Dang -

In the silence of the night, a loud bang was more noticeable than daylight - the metal door of the ward slammed into the door frame, which was also made of metal. In an instant, the sound of metal clashing violently spread throughout the floor, as well as through the ears of the night watchmen who were taking a leisurely stroll.

For those of you who have been working here for a while, the brick by brick of the infirmary building is all too familiar, and you can walk through the dimly lit corridors even with your eyes closed. What's more, the moonlight was so bright tonight that the experienced night watchman simply turned off the extra night light to let his eyes adjust to the subtle dimness of the moonlight.

Most of the night watchmen said they had been in the infirmary for a long time, and they weren't as nervous about the looming darkness as the staff who had only been there for a long time - in fact, they weren't trembling at some rumors.

For good reason, the infirmary, located in the middle of the college, is probably one of the safest places around the Catrices. The high-ranking mages who are stationed here and the academy guards who are directly subordinate to the dean François are powerful forces in defending the area.

Just as no one would be stupid enough to attack any library because it is often crowded with scholars. In addition to the mages who served as teachers, there were also many mages who stayed here for research, and each of them had extremely powerful spell-casting abilities.

Moreover, in addition to them, there is also Cruise François himself. The Dean of the Catrice Academy, known as the "Wind of the Twelve Directions", is erudite and powerful, and it is difficult for both monsters and evil spirits to hide their bodies under his nose.

But this composure was disturbed by a slight sound, and with that slight sound sounded, the night watchman at the other end was alarmed. Pulling one and moving the whole body, as soon as the person who was alarmed took a step, the almost identical pace of both sides was disturbed.

In an instant, the footsteps at both ends of the corridor became a jumble of echoes, but in a moment they attracted the night watchmen farther away.

For a moment, the infirmary was like a hornet's nest that had been poked by a urchin, and many of the people who kept vigil in it were drawn to the corridor. The porch lights that had been turned off were also lit, and the already thin darkness was dispelled into the most remote corners by the shining lights in an instant.

It can be seen that most of the doctors and nurses who stayed in the infirmary tonight were doctors and nurses on the night shift, and the infirmary needed them to help patients in the emergency room at night. However, they are definitely not combatants, and perhaps they have more or less mastered some spells, but basically have no combat experience.

To compensate for this, the infirmary is still staffed by several guards, especially among the doctors in the white coats of the medical staff, and these guards in improvised armor are particularly visible. They weren't a handful of elitist academy guards, they were just ordinary level guards, and they were only on guard—their numbers were at best the level of dealing with thieves.

"What's wrong...... Is there something wrong with you?" the last night watchman, attracted by the footsteps, looked at his companions who had rushed to the corridor before him, in astonishment, "is there a thief, or something else running in?"

Many people have a herd mentality, and he is no exception. Originally, he didn't pay attention to the sudden metal sound, after all, the sound of the door opening and closing was not too eye-catching, but after that, the footsteps of his colleagues could not be ignored. But after coming here, he was now just a colleague staring at him in the corridor, which made him feel a little as if he had suffered a loss.

Of course, he didn't know that his every move and that of his companions was being watched by a pair of eyes hiding in the darkest corners. (To be continued)
