"Captain Wang, you mean that Li Hui, whom I met today, is very likely to have a spiritual imprint on his body, just like these people." Gu Shi fell into deep thought.
Wang Feng nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I think this possibility is very high. Since Li Hui didn't recognize your background, it means that he is now under control.
After discovering those students had mental imprints, we communicated with them one-on-one, placed special monitoring devices on them, and had them maintain their daily activities.
After observing for a period of time, no signs of any of them being controlled have been found.
While this is a good thing, it also means we lose the opportunity to obtain more intelligence. So far, we have very little useful information, which is why the investigation is not going smoothly."
At this point, Wang Feng couldn't help but reveal a bit of sadness on his face. As long as this matter was not resolved, he would not be able to sleep well.
Although the school has taken many measures in advance to prevent information leakage and has used all possible means.
But this time the enemy can directly control the students' every move, and they might find something wrong in some details and expose their true identity.
We really have to be on guard.
Wang Feng picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip, then continued: "We tried to investigate from the spiritual imprint itself and barely got some information.
This spiritual imprint originated from a family called the Walter family in a now-extinct small country. That small country itself had a low presence, and there were even fewer descriptions of the Walter family.
We traveled a lot before finally finding relevant historical descriptions in a book."
Gu Shi pondered for a moment and asked, "Has Captain Wang investigated the areas where these people usually move around? Perhaps we can use that to identify the locations where their spiritual imprints were left."
Wang Feng replied, "Of course there is. The place we are most suspicious of right now is Congleton School of Magic."
Gu Shi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the most suspicious place would be the academy. He thought that there were so many powerful instructors in the academy, and the mastermind behind the scenes would not choose to act there.
I didn't expect this group of people to be so bold. However, could it be that the instructors haven't noticed that some students have been spiritually branded right under their noses? This shouldn't be the case.
Wang Feng continued, "Currently, these students who have spiritual marks on their bodies are all students at Congleton School of Magic.
Normally, they would travel back and forth between the base and the academy. Apart from these two places, they rarely went out."
"We've also checked their circle of friends, but we haven't found any overlap. Furthermore, this group of students includes both mages and warriors, and their usual locations within the academy are also quite different.
Our worst guess right now is that the imprint might be able to be transmitted secondary to someone who already has the imprint."
Hearing Wang Feng say this, Gu Shi was very worried. If this speculation was true, the situation would become very bad for them.
Even if there are only a few students with the spiritual imprint now, once it spreads in this way, from one to two, from two to three, it won’t be long before things get out of control.
After imagining the ending for a while, Gu Shi shook his head and threw all those images out of his mind. This would only make him more upset and would not help the progress of the matter.
Gu Shi proposed his own suggestion, "Can we find someone to use these mental imprints to conduct reverse tracking and find the mastermind behind this?"
“Someone has proposed the method you mentioned before, but unfortunately our connections are not strong enough, so we haven’t been able to find an expert in this field.
On the surface, the school's business has been booming in recent years, and it has come into contact with people from all over the world.
But in reality, our development time is still too short, and our cooperation with many forces is only superficial. We have relatively little contact with talents and experts in niche areas like this."
Wang Feng's tone was full of helplessness. What he said was the truth. Although the school had already done business with other races, for those big forces with deep roots, they, the rising star, were still on the observation list.
Most of the long-established powers have their own trusted subordinates and partners, and the friendships between them often last for dozens or even hundreds of years, which is something that newcomers like them cannot compare to.
Gu Shi could also understand Wang Feng's difficulties. He said considerately, "I will try my best to help with this matter. When I get back, I will ask the teacher if there is any relevant information."
Wang Feng didn't refuse, "Then I'll leave it to you."
"Come to think of it, judging from the current situation, this matter doesn't seem to be directed at us?" Gu Shi summarized the existing intelligence and finally came to this conclusion.
Wang Feng confirmed his guess. "That's right. We've roughly determined that the mastermind behind this is targeting Congleton College. The few students here who were affected were simply affected."
This is also the only good news in this matter. After all, if they are not the main target, the mastermind behind this matter will not focus on them, and the possibility of their secrets being discovered will be greatly reduced.
"A conspiracy against Congleton School of Magic?"
Gu Shi really couldn't figure out the reason behind this, but this way, he would be more confident in getting some information from Field.
He couldn't believe that in such a large academy, there was no instructor who noticed something wrong with the students. Maybe the calm appearance now was just fishing.
Half an hour passed unknowingly as Gu Shi and Wang Feng chatted.
Hearing the beeping sound of his mobile phone, Wang Feng picked it up and saw that the information he had just agreed on had been sent.
"Let's not talk about this for now. The information has been sent. Come and take a look." He waved his hand, motioning Gu Shi to come over to him.
In order to make it easier for Gu Shi to identify it, Wang Feng directly transferred the information to the laptop computer next to him and then opened the document.
Here are photos of all the students named Wang Hui in the school. Since the school re-entered the information after coming to this world, there is no need to worry about omissions.
However, no matter what, the photos were taken five or six years ago, and the people in the photos are definitely different from the real people.
In order to avoid recognizing the wrong person, Gu Shi carefully compared the facial features in each photo. Finally, after looking at four photos, he found the somewhat familiar face.
