The sound of knocking on the door kept coming, and Curt hurried over and opened the door.

The Oscar, who stood in front of him, seemed to have experienced very high-intensity physical exercise not long ago, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans. His face was red and his ears were red, and his back was hunched over due to fatigue. He panted and held the wall on the aisle and kept gasping.

He was not wearing a school uniform now, but instead put on a thin black casual outfit. The sweat still overflowing had drained his clothes. The wet clothes were pressed against him, outlining the boy's body lines after a certain amount of exercise.

With a tired body and wet clothes, Oscar seemed to jump into the water and swim until exhausted. But these were just minor. Curt noticed some scratches on his arm and there seemed to be traces on his face that were difficult to detect without careful look.

"Mr. Curt, you are really...ahma,ahmamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamama

Seeing the door of the house opened, Oscar's red face also showed a hint of joy. He looked at Curt, anxious to tell Curt what he wanted to say, but he didn't say a complete sentence, and just made a violent choking cough due to excessive breathing.

"Don't be anxious, take a breath first and say something slowly."

Looking at Oscar who was covered in bruises and almost coughing up bleeding, Curt couldn't let him continue. He held Oscar's body and let him go into the room to rest.

Fortunately, Liqi's movements were fast enough. Before Oscar entered the door, she had already put all the experimental equipment on the shelf and pushed it into another room to lock it. In order to cover up the odor, she also released several spells to purify the air to prevent the smell of the experiment from remaining in the room.

Thanks to this, Oscar, who was breathing continuously, was not warmly welcomed by the strong stench. Otherwise, with his current appearance, he was hit by the experimental exhaust gas that had just been stockpiled in the house, and he would almost certainly faint due to respiratory failure in just a moment.

Liqi saw Curt walking into the room with Oscar, and wanted to mock him. But the next time she saw Oscar's weak and weak steps, she asked him to sit down on the living room chair and breathe, and poured a cup of hot water from the thermos placed in the corner and handed it to him.

"Thanks……"

After taking the water handed to Liqi, Oscar still seemed very weak. He expressed his gratitude to Liqi weakly and drank the hot water in one go. After drinking this cup of warm liquid, Oscar's large amount of water lost in his body was also replenished, which also made her feel a little more energetic.

"Oscar, what's wrong with you, seeing that you're so anxious?" Seeing that Oscar's breathing gradually became stable, Curt felt that it was time to ask him something. He sat opposite Oscar and looked at him and said, "Also, what's going on with these wounds on your body?"

When Oscar heard Curt's question, he didn't care much: "Wounds? Ah, don't worry about these, they have nothing to do with what I want to say. They were all left by accident during exercise class today. I had already taken the school doctor to apply injury medicine. I bought some bandages when I went back later and it would be fine."

Then he tried to take a deep breath to adjust his breath, but the sequelae of excessive movement of his body remained in his body, and it seemed that several stones were stuffed into his chest. Just a simple deep breath made him feel a scorching pain in his throat.

But even so, it is much better than when I first ran to the dormitory door. At least I won’t even cough or pant after breathing, and I can’t even say anything.

"Aren't you investigating Danfoss's bastard recently?" When he mentioned Danfoss' name, he deliberately used a rough word to call him. "In fact, Hepburn and I seem to be being monitored these days, so this must have nothing to do with him!"

Looking at the Oscar who just spoke up and "suspected" Danfoss, Curt's expression seemed a little embarrassed: "Calm down, Oscar. If you feel that you are being illegally monitored, the best choice is to go to the guards. If you suspect that this is done by Danfoss, you have to provide evidence that he is suspected."

Oscar's feeling was still very keen. He said that he and Hepburn were being monitored by someone, which was probably not false. But after that incident, Oscar had been disgusted with Danfoss. He now said that he suspected that he was the mastermind behind the scenes, and it was probably just thinking too much.

"Of course there is a reason for me to say this - these days they are the only ones who always come to Hepburn for trouble. Especially when I act with Hepburn, I can always feel the sight pointing to him. When I search for nearby, there are always a few guys who have met several times wandering around!"

He immediately began to talk about his "reason".

Since the ancient spell ceremony held by Danfoss with Hepburn as a "test" a few days ago was interrupted by Oscar and Liqi, apprentices who were originally in the same club as Hepburn came to find Hepburn from time to time in the past few days. They seemed to know Hepburn's movement rules, and they could always find the opportunity to be alone.

Strangely, they did not come to cause trouble, but tried to persuade Hepburn to return to the club. At the beginning, the lobbyist was just an apprentice in other departments who had only met Hepburn. By this afternoon, the person who came had upgraded to the senior who brought Hepburn into the club.

When Hepburn's "senius" came to find him, Oscar happened to be with Hepburn, but the senior apprentice did not take him seriously. Seeing the hostile Oscar, he just snorted disdainfully, and left him aside, trying to convince Hepburn to rejoin their community that studied ancient spells.

"According to that guy, Danfoss is sorry for the impact of the failure of that experiment, and hopes he doesn't mind and can go back to the club to continue his research with them."

Danfoss described the members of the club who had been tireless in persuading Hepburn to "return" during this period, and the expression on his face was not only disgust and disdainful. However, Oscars was considered a "heretic" among the spells and those who studied ancient spells to maintain the honor of the spells were naturally disliked by each other.

Curt couldn't help but feel funny. He suddenly felt that the reason why these two sides hated each other was, in a sense, that the other party had something they couldn't find.

"I heard that I don't know whether it's Lyme or something. Anyway, it's a 'senior' who looks like a fruit, saying that Danfoss values ​​Hepburn very much." I don't know that Oscar was smiling secretly, still posing a bad face, "What else do you say about him having great talents..."

As he spoke, Oscar's nose wrinkled - he felt as if he had smelled a very strange smell, and the unfitness made him feel a little incongruous.

Looking around, the smell seemed to float out from behind the closed door on Liqi's side. But how should we describe this smell? He racked his brains to search for words and wanted to describe it, but he couldn't think of more appropriate words to explain the current feeling.

"What's wrong with Oscar? Danfoss, you said, attaches importance to Hepburn's talent... Is there any specific information?" Curt pulled Oscar's attention back to the conversation again, "Also, I know you came to us for discussion because you were worried about Hepburn, but what did Hepburn think?"

Maybe it's boiling some kind of medicine.

Oscar thought it would be better not to pursue the matter, so he shook his head slightly and continued: "It's nothing... Hepburn is also a little suspicious of this. He told me that everyone in the club thinks that Danfoss is an excellent leader. But Hepburn feels that he seems to have hidden a lot of secrets."

After pausing for a while, Oscar began to say about Danfoss that he had collected from Hepburn: "Danfoss did seem to pay attention to Hepburn at several social gatherings. Not only did he, who had just joined the group, he quickly got into the center, but he also guided him personally during several experiments."

Don't you think it's strange? Oscar said so.

Hepburn performed mediocrely in the elementary department's coursework, and he did not make any eye-catching moves at the beginning when he joined the club. He lacked his own opinion and seemed to follow the crowd no matter where he was. He would do whatever others commanded him, and stood honestly and took notes without instructions.

But for some reason, Danfoss seems to value Hepburn very much.

Danfoss' behavior caused some controversy at the time when he had just joined the club without going through a long test. And although Hepburn spent most of his time in the club, Danfoss would also let him contact the current plan. Even if Hepburn left due to previous conflicts, Danfoss would make the members of the club convince him to go back.

Judging from these manifestations, either Hepburn itself has the value that Danfoss pays great attention to, or that he has a very important part of the upcoming plan.

"I think I understand what you mean. If these things are true, then Hepburn's 'weight' in Danfoss' eyes should be quite good." Curt knocked on the corner of the table, "So, what do you want to act? Don't tell me you want to entrust me to counter-stalking Danfoss or those people."

Although Oscar's reason for doubting him makes sense, Curt is in nominally unable to track Danfoss or those who may be monitoring Oscar and Hepburn.

As a mercenary, Curt cannot carry out investigations without accepting the commission according to regulations, and it is even more illegal to follow up at will. Now he and Liqi's investigation of Danfoss are all private actions for personal purposes. If it is exposed, it will undoubtedly be asked by Grosted's subordinates to go to the guards to question.

Oscar shook his head decisively. He didn't know how to break the law: "No, I just want to..."

Before the words could be spit out of his mouth, Oscar suddenly felt a serious dizziness. A strange sense of weightlessness flowed throughout his body in an instant, making him unable to control his body. In his vision, Liqi, Curt, and even the entire room were twisted into indescribable images like a broken water surface.

The hard touch on the floor was clearly felt on the side of my face, and my body was filled with lead, so heavy that it was difficult to move.

"Hey! Oscar, what's wrong with you?"

Even Curt's shouting sounded like a distance of thousands of miles...
