Chapter 347: Time is a pig-killing knife
The CC1000 Regional Express runs through the summer fields, looking out the window and looking out the window, the vegetation changes from dark green to golden and then to reddish-brown like a rainbow under the blue sky.
Sitting by the window, the head of the investigation team, Pacy Gattuso, calmly admired the magnificent scenery outside the window, and his face was neither sad nor joyful.
This time, he will make another secret visit to Kassel on behalf of the school board, and learn about the secret of the Dragonbone Cross, which Frost has specially explained to him before he leaves.
In the last meeting, Ange behaved quite strangely, and with the other party's character, he should have taken out a folding knife and sneered on the table on the spot, rather than compromising with them in such a way.
Because of this strange response, for a while, they couldn't figure out Ange's path at all, and all the follow-up plans of the Gattuso family were in vain.
This is like two parties playing rock-paper-scissors, their side has guessed in advance what the next opponent will be, and has prepared accordingly in advance, but when the two sides punch, the other party suddenly compares to them OK......
Ange didn't play his cards according to the routine at all, and suddenly showed weakness, but caught them off guard.
The Dragonbone Cross was supposed to be real, and Ange wouldn't be stupid enough to cheat on such a thing, so the goal of his trip wasn't just for the Dragonbone Cross, but the secret that Ange was trying to hide behind it.
A few months ago, he almost got the secret, but in the end he was overshadowed by that shameless guy at Ange, and if it weren't for the Gattuso's urgent use of the school board's authority to block the photos, his nude photos would probably be uploaded everywhere on the Night's Watch forum.
Patsy felt a dull pain in his brain when he thought of what had happened a few months ago, but this time Ange stayed on Portofino's side, and theoretically, without the elusive time zero, he should be unimpeded in the academy this time.
…… Probably?
The only thing to worry about is the Academy's Vice Chancellor, the Night's Watch.
After a moment of silence, Patcy took a document from the suitcase next to him, opened it, and carefully took out a photograph from inside.
The photograph is printed with an extremely handsome man, with a sculptural face, a tall Greek nose, slender curls between a prodigal and a rock youth, and a pair of eyes that are between a young woman and an old woman...... If it can be summed up in one word, it is handsome and compelling.
Nicholas Flamel, the world's greatest alchemist, the huge alchemy matrix in the ice cave is the work of the other party, and the photo in his hand was taken in Bolivia in 1934, more than 80 years ago.
It's not that he doesn't want to get a recent photo of the other party, it's mainly that there is very little information about the night watchman, who has been living in seclusion in the Kassel Academy for decades, and has always lived in seclusion, and few people can see each other, so he can only use this photo as a reference.
On the premise that Ange was not in the academy, this time he went to Kassel to investigate the Dragon Bone Cross, and the receptionist there was the other party, and after learning the news, the number of people who signed up to participate in this investigation team suddenly soared.
After all, the Night Watchman, as a living legend and the world's number one alchemist, is very sought after by those alchemists, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an idol in the hearts of those people.
…… This kind of person is not easy to deal with.
With a slight exhale, Patcy put the photo back into the file bag.
In fact, he didn't want to believe that Ange had betrayed humanity, but the evidence was ironclad, especially what happened in those sanatoriums, as long as Ange couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation for it, the matter would never be over.
As the pit whistle sounded, he packed his papers, and after straightening his clothes in front of the mirror again, Patsy stood up with his suitcase.
He was not the only one who came this time, but there were also several alchemists from other families, who were to be led by the night watchman into the ice cavern and confront Norton's dragon bone cross.
And in the process, with the help of the alchemists who dragged the Night's Watch, he would use Norma's authority to conduct a detailed search of the Kassel Academy until he found out the secret that Ange wanted to hide.
The plan is already in place, everything just needs to go according to plan.
…… But he never expected that his plan would have a huge deviation from the beginning.
Instead of the solemn greeting he had imagined, he was greeted by enthusiastic cheers as he stepped out of the carriage with the others.
That scene can be called a noisy gong and drum, firecrackers, red flags, and crowds......
Before he could react, he gave a warm hug to a middle-aged scruffy uncle wearing a red Hawaiian shirt and plastic-framed sunglasses, and the other party slapped him on the back violently, as if to stop his cough, and the heavy smell of alcohol made him dizzy, making a mess of the clothes he had sorted out before getting out of the car.
Finally broke free from this uncle's embrace, and before Patsy could speak, the beautiful girl who flashed out from the side put a Hawaiian-style garland on him again, and the flash next to him sounded, and he couldn't open his eyes.
In this way, in a daze, he and the others were surrounded by the crowd and stumbled onto the red and green float.
Hundreds of boys and girls raised bouquets of flowers in their hands around the float, the float walked slowly, the voices of people were boiling, balloons and ribbons were flying in the air, and there was a faint sound of champagne, it seemed that everyone was very happy to see the investigation team, and vowed to make this investigation a grand garden party of the college, and there was a faint cheerful atmosphere in the air.
"Well, the students are in good spirits, right?"
Unceremoniously sat beside him, and the middle-aged uncle patted him on the shoulder enthusiastically.
"I heard that you are coming, everyone has been rehearsing since yesterday, and everyone is very happy, just to bring you the most perfect experience, how, does it feel like coming home?"
“…… Night watchman? ”
Looking at the uncle in front of him, Pacifico was a little unsure.
"What's the matter, it's just a false name, politely, you just call me the vice principal."
While nodding modestly, the uncle in front of him frowned at him.
"The time for you to come here is just right, today happens to be the final of the [Academy Star], I helped you get a few tickets for the judges, you are estimated to have a good time this time. You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do. ”
Patsy: "........."
…… He admits that his conjecture has gone wrong again.
The one who is close to Zhu is red, the one who is close to ink is black, and the night watch and Ange have been mixed up for so long, and it seems that the two have long been in cahoots.
And also...... Time is indeed a pig-killing knife.
ps: Good morning (づ●─●)づ
There will be a shift later, which may be later, about two o'clock.
