It was already late at night, and most people in Katris Academy were already asleep. The soft dreams were as hard as warm water.

The college's territory has been shrouded in silence, and even the most noisy magic experimental area in normal times has been conquered by silence. However, the medical building has been in a abnormal state of noisy. Tonight is destined to be a noisy night for the staff who are watching in it.

"Can you tell us what exactly did you call us here?" said a tall guard in simple protective gear, who was also attracted by the sound of footsteps. "Is there anything here? Is it a thief? or a dangerous monster?"

He waved the short stick in his hand like a demonstration, and the ancient words attached to it emitted a blue-white glow, like lightning bouncing in the darkness. This was the armed force given to them by the Academy, but since he started working, he has never had the opportunity to use this armed force.

"Yes, yes, I heard your movements and scared me so much that I ran over without even taking care of the medicinal wine I had just prepared." A slightly fat doctor said, his voice was very loud, and it made people feel quite harsh when I heard it. "It's better not to tell me you're teasing me!"

With the people who are leading the clamor, both medical staff and security personnel are nervous. They know that some of the people who work in the same building with them are so bad that if they get involved, they might be stuck in trouble.

Standing near the two people shouting, a small group of people became turbulent. They carefully distanced themselves from the people who were talking. At the same time, a noisy sound came from a distance, and several guards appeared. They held short sticks of the same type in their hands and looked around with alert.

"Hey, Najib, what happened to you?" The guards who arrived later looked at the tall guard who had a smile on their faces. Most of the brown faces were written with curiosity. "It's really rare. Everyone is getting together. Do you think they are going to hold a party?"

"Lack, I've told you how many times I've told you, be serious when I'm working! Also, call me Najim, not 'Nagi' - listen, don't bring the habit you've developed on the streets to the work site, otherwise you'll feel better!"

Before he could finish his words, the sharp tall guard he called Najib interrupted his joke. The tall guard raised his chest and raised his head, pinched the stick in his hand and waved it, showing a rather arrogant attitude. He obviously disdained the jokes in the guard who greeted him.

"Well, as you wish... you are the boss, whatever you say is what you say." Lake, who was coldly treated, shrugged and said helplessly to the tall guard named Najim, "So what's going on now - even if there are really thieves, he can't steal here, right?"

After all, this is the center of Katris Academy. The strict defense is enough to discourage the most daring thieves. Maybe a visit here will have the chance to steal a large amount of money that can satisfy the expenses of a lifetime, but they all know clearly that this transaction will definitely not be worth the cost.

The reputation of the academy makes the work of the guards very easy, but their existence is the basis for the reputation of the academy. The guards directly under Cruise François must sometimes be busy for more jobs that are not their own, and they really have no special work to complete for the rest.

When they are idle, the reward for guarding the academy is quite generous, so many mercenaries are willing to work in the academy - such a stable and peaceful job is exactly what they have been seeking. Just performing simple guard work will be rewarded, so why not do it?

"Everyone, I'm sorry, maybe it was the sound of my footsteps that made you nervous."

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

"I guess everyone heard the sound of closing the door - I was patrolling here and I saw that guy running out of a ward." As he said this, he called Lake next to the nearby railing to stand in the center of the corridor, then gestured at his body, and then said, "That guy is a little shorter than Lake, and is thinner than him. He ran very fast and disappeared into the darkness in an instant..."

The doctor was still describing the image of the man in black to his colleagues. According to him, he only saw the man in black's back as he was leaving, and he did not see clearly. However, the other party had only had a few roads to escape, and people who came later should run into him.

"No, we didn't see anyone when we arrived..." A doctor who came from the direction he pointed to shook his head after thinking for a moment, "and because everyone's footsteps were heard, we couldn't find any wrong sounds mixed in."

He and the remaining people rushed over after hearing the chaotic footsteps, and could prove to each other that what they said was true. They did not see the man in black who escaped from the opposite direction of their progress - in fact, they did not see a single figure.

"So that's the case? Since you all say this, you must have never seen that guy..." He lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "But I did see a suspicious guy running away in that direction, and that guy may not be a thief."

After hearing what he said, the medical staff around him became nervous. If it was as he said, the man in black who sneaked into the hospital might be a guy with ulterior motives. He was suspicious and had a dark ghost. Although they didn't know what the other party wanted, such doubts made people feel even more dangerous.

How can this liar be discovered if something does not exist? Liqi, who was hiding in the dark, looked at the crowd that became turbulent and said to herself that she had only seen this doctor who secretly influenced the way of thinking of all the people. He was the short and fat doctor who appeared in Hepburn's ward.

Similarly, he was also the first doctor to arrive in the corridor. The moment the sound made by Liqi sounded, his steps became quite unnatural. There was no doubt that the "man in black" he said did not exist. After all, even Liqi, who was hiding here earlier than him, did not see that guy.

Liqi was hiding and could see everyone's movements, and it was difficult for them to notice her. She used the shadows created by the spell to cover her figure and carefully peeked at the medical staff whispering in the corridor. The short and fat doctor's plan seemed to have succeeded. Everyone subconsciously seemed to agree with the existence of the man in black and began to discuss his purpose.

After a moment of discussion, the medical staff were divided into several groups. Some were responsible for checking the rooms on the floor, while the rest returned to the duty room to wait for further results. The guards also organized, and they were organized into the team responsible for patrols. They were responsible for protecting them when they encountered danger.

Soon, just like when they came, the medical staff dispersed as planned, and the short and fat doctor had to return to his own personal laboratory and avoided the dispersed sight. Liqi secretly followed the back of the short and fat doctor forward in the spacious corridor.

The journey to the thirsty doctor's destination was not far. But he didn't seem to be going to his lab. He accelerated his pace, walked through a corridor connecting to the first floor, and then turned into a spacious hall with open doors, where there were already people waiting for him.

With a "click" sound, the hall became brighter. Liqi, who was hiding outside the light, approached the hall, trying to peek at what was inside the hall.

"Seeing you panting, what happened upstairs?"

The old man sitting on a stool in 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 would appear here... If the short and fat doctor had companions, he would undoubtedly be the most likely person.

"I suspect that François is starting to investigate us-not your friends. It's you and me, and those people involved."

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

"Oh...Fras, why do you think?" The old man raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he was not concerned about the concerns in the short and fat doctor's heart. "Although François is investigating the situation of the 'Eye of True Vision' recently, he obviously cannot escape from Vikinas to come here."

There are personnel installed in the medical building with "The Eye of True Vision", and of course Liqi thought of it early in the morning. However, these people could be hidden from Cruise François working in the academy, and he has never discovered it. I really don't know if it was a delayed luck or François deliberately doing it.

The subtle expression on the short and fat doctor's face appeared again. He seemed to be quite afraid of the old man, and he would ponder it for a while every time he said a word.

"Okay, Fras, you don't have to worry, otherwise you will disrupt our plans." The old man calmed down and said slowly while pouring tea, "I don't mind telling you that we all saw your previous performance-yes, I began to think that you are a trustworthy friend."

"but……"

After hearing the old man's words, the short and fat doctor seemed to have something to say, but his words were immediately blocked: "But the past has passed. Can you become a member of us? What we need to look at is the next performance... This is also the most important point, you know."

After speaking, the old man was silent for a moment, then nodded and handed an envelope to the fat doctor: "Don't worry, Fras, I think you'd better go back and take a break. You look very tired. It's okay, I will help you with the rest. That's how it is, so there's no harm."

The old man picked up a potion and shook it, and a string of bubbles appeared in the light blue solution. Then he showed a crooked smile to the fat doctor. The fat doctor was stunned in surprise. He opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't remember what to say, so he had to close his mouth.

There are ears in the partition walls and eyes behind the scenes. The two of them didn't seem to know that there was a Liqi who was silently observing their actions in the darkness near the hall. (To be continued, please search for Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!
