After the New Year, the countdown to winter vacation has entered, but the schedule is still full. Fan Ning’s only change is reflected in the time he spends lying in bed every day - in this ghostly weather with a minimum temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero, fighting against a warm bed becomes more and more difficult.
It was getting harder and harder to get there. The time to arrive at the Woodpecker Consulting Office went from eight o'clock to eight-thirty to almost nine o'clock.
Three hours a day are spent learning Tulungarian and reading mystical literature for practice. In the other half of the day, Joan will guide the school and help translate and study unknown literature.
There are no further substantive results for the time being, but the basic splitting and sorting work is progressing steadily, and the previous piece of paper full of text boxes and lines has been written on the back.
This rare writing structure is destined to make research progress discontinuous and jumpy.
At night, I fell asleep in the "Qiming Church" for a string quartet rehearsal. Because the psychological suggestion of the ignorant is not stable enough, the number of people who can't get together is too many. There are four or five complete rehearsals in this month. Considering that it is in the city concert hall
The performance requirements of the special concert must be supplemented by rehearsals in the waking world.
After the semester started in mid-term, Vice Dean Schütz of the Conservatory of Music arranged for Fan Ning to use Professor Anton Konard's former office as a temporary office space, and told him that it was Miss Roy's suggestion.
The relationship between the two gradually became the lubricant of the delicate relationship between himself and their school of thought.
Various incidents and details made Fan Ning gradually confirm that Roy's status in the Bologna School was higher than imagined - at least in terms of family relationships, she should have far more than an uncle who was the vice-president of the University of San Lenia branch.
Judging from her musical talent and inspirational qualities, even without the training she provided and the catalysis of the "Qiming Church", she could be promoted to a knowledgeable person before graduation. If paired with the powerful curse seal of the Bologna School, her spirit
By using potions or ritual utensils, you can quickly control considerable invisible power.
One gloomy afternoon, the temperature was still cold.
"Mr. Fanning, I brought the commission fee and a letter written to you by Miss Joan Nehemiah." Lou Adair's sturdy figure appeared at the door of Professor Anton's office.
"Thank you." Fan Ning looked up from a pile of teacher Anton's manuscripts, stood up and took the envelope.
Fan Ning did not open the first envelope, but knew that it contained 600 pounds in cash. This was Lu's payment for the dedication of the 13 ditties he published with an average price of 200 pounds. Compared with the previous string quartet dedication, Lu indeed
It can be regarded as "the budget has increased again."
Previous sources of income included Roy's 500-pound remuneration, Lord Nehemiah's 50-pound remuneration and the Guidance School's salary for the past two months. Expenses included 300 pounds of promotion material deductions, practice bullets, and concert tickets.
and daily expenses, which cut the savings in half.
After buying 600 pounds of banknotes, my level of wealth finally exceeded the level at the beginning.
The paper in the second envelope was thickly folded and folded five or six times.
"What the hell? On a piece of paper larger than a newspaper, just write a few lines of words in the middle." Fan Ning saw that Qiong's small and crooked handwriting occupied an area as big as a palm in the middle, and he couldn't understand what was going on in her mind.
What is.
Joan's letter was unheaded and unsigned, and went straight to the point:
"Sylvia's next gathering will be at 8 pm on January 31, near 140 Riverbank Street, South Dockside."
"It is normal for the Guiding School to be unclear about the moving material "Sparkle of Gold". Compared with the common "Skin of the End", it is a medium-to-high-level special curse seal production carrier. The Holy Sun Church may have it.
But it is difficult to deal with them. Fortunately, the demand message I conveyed to the party informant was responded to. You may need to prepare 1,000 pounds of cash at the party."
"The "Shining Golden Spark" will quickly dim and expire when you wake up from Yiyong, so the one you bought must also be invalid, but this change is reversible - enter Yiyong to seek the attention of the "Unfallen Fire",
It will light up again and bring it back to the waking world to quickly perform the secret ritual. You need to have mid-level strength to use it to create your curse seal."
"I will help you solve the problem of preparing the secret atmosphere. As a thank you for the rehearsal of the radiant spirit fluid and the 'Qiming Church', you don't need to trouble the elixir master of your school. You need to save as much money as possible to start a family in the future.
.”
"Joan, why are your concerns always so strange?"
Fan Ning shook his head helplessly when he saw the end, and then stared at the number 1,000 in worry.
What did you just say? A breakthrough in wealth?
But it is necessary to prepare this curse seal in advance. It can store the "echo of light" - that is, the residual sense of dissonance brought to spirituality by some kind of revelation of the "unfallen fire" in the movement.
In this state, the light of my first acquaintance can use the sun as a temperature exchange to a certain extent. Unfortunately, it disappears too quickly. When I woke up last time, the light filled the room, and then disappeared in only five minutes.
.
Lu looked at Fan Ning as he was deep in thought, and reminded him softly: "Mr. Fan Ning, I have also compiled the list of part-time jobs collected by the team leaders of each hospital."
He handed over another form, and then explained on the side: "Due to the principle of voluntary privacy, the information reported by the students is not that complete. They are selective in the list of job type, organization name, working hours, salary and benefits, etc."
Fill it out, but I followed your tips and paid extra attention to people with higher salaries."
He stretched out his finger and ran through some columns: "At least among the people who are willing to report their salary, we can find some unusual points: 58 students' weekly salary reaches the range of 4-5 pounds. As a part-time student income,
The gap between me and other students is too exaggerated..."
"These 58 people did not fill in the name of the organization, and the working hours were low. As for the work content, they were either blank, or filled in with expressions of the 'cultural' industry... This includes 53 students from middle-class backgrounds, and 5 students who have some financial difficulties.
A classmate from a noble family..."
Speaking of this, Lu's voice was a little strange: "What's even more strange is that three of them died unexpectedly during the winter vacation... But today is only the third day of school, and the news has not spread on a large scale."
Fan Ning's eyes naturally looked at the three lines marked with red ink. He frowned and read the brief notes written by Lu next to them.
"I cried loudly for one day and two nights, my energy was exhausted, and I died of cardiac arrest."
"With his own knowledge, he quickly drank more than 600 ml of industrial alcohol in a short period of time."
“I was chatting normally with three friends on the balcony, and suddenly I shouted ‘I am an airship’ and jumped from a high place.”
Lu lowered his voice: "I was shocked to learn these facts, and to be honest, I think the school's response was a bit slow. Our Adair family is responsible for one of the most important economic lifelines of the government. We have offices in the Special Patrol Department branches in various cities.
They all have connections, and based on what I know about them, similar suspicious incidents within the default scope of responsibilities may have already been closed... And the strange part-time time of these classmates ranges from more than a month to more than half a year..."
He said he could contact me again if necessary, and then closed the door.
Fan Ning was silent for a while, looking at another document in hand.
It was delivered to me by the clerical staff of the Bologna School as early as a few days before the New Year, and it was signed by Vice-President Huxley.
The above is the investigation of "Red Onyx Culture Media Company". It mentioned that the address is "somewhat remote", the person in charge is named Spin Cecil, and the business scope includes "actor training" and "sound film soundtrack production", etc., and it is investigated secretly.
At the time, it was discovered that "the flow of people was large, and a large proportion of floors and rooms were abnormally closed"...
The final conclusion is: the clue is valid, there is a greater possibility of correlation with the "Pleasant Listening Session", and continuous follow-up is required.
Until now, the school has not contacted Fan Ning again.
"What's the situation? Is it possible that I can't push forward the matter regarding Teacher Anton?"
Fan Ning's eyes flashed coldly, and he got up and went out after a while.
