Chapter 184 Lost Property
Sitting at a window seat in the huge library of the King's Campus, Dorothy was still looking up information under the bright sunshine. She had previously analyzed the information in the information and concluded that there might be some secret society among the teachers and students of this school, and she had also confirmed this through functional divination.
'The Royal Holy Crown University is full of young elites from the elite circles. Each of them is proud of their talent and has a rich family background. It would be abnormal for such a large group of people to gather together and not do some mysterious research. After all, this school was previously a base for a bunch of social associations.
"What we need to do now is to find a way to find this association. Since we can't find the ruins, we should find people first. Those guys have been inherited in this school for a while, so they should know the situation of the ruins."
Looking at the pile of books in front of her, Dorothy thought about it. In fact, when it comes to detecting extraordinary people, she does have a "lamp" talisman that she got from Thordod. After spending 20 pounds to have Beverly identify it, she found that it was an "area visibility talisman" that could detect all extraordinary items and spiritual traces of extraordinary people within a radius of 50 meters.
This kind of talisman is very useful, but Dorothy only has one in her hand. The probability of finding the hidden Beyonder in the school with this talisman is very small. After all, the range is only 50 meters. If you don’t find it after using it, it will be a waste.
'So...is there a better way to find Extraordinary People and Extraordinary Associates?'
Dorothy thought that after not being able to come up with any good ideas for a while, she decided to look at the book again for inspiration, and this time she picked up the school newspaper of St. Crown University.
Holy Crown University has its own school newspaper, which is well run and widely read among students. It reports on both campus news and social hot spots. For example, the newspaper Dorothy is holding in her hand is the latest issue, and it reports in considerable detail on a train murder case that happened not long ago.
"A murder occurred on the long-distance train to Tivian! The mysterious detective solved the case and the murderer was brought to justice! The train conductor recalled the details of the case..."
"Damn, how come this is still in the newspapers? Are those crew members so noble? They actually told the truth without taking any credit..."
Looking at the news in the newspaper, Dorothy's mouth twitched slightly as she thought that this was a little different from what she expected. She had thought that after the crew took the credit, there would be no such person as Detective Ed. However, she did not expect that the crew not only told the detective about the incident, but also praised him highly.
"…As I said before, Mr. Ed is the most graceful and admirable person I have ever met. He is not only a careful observer with extraordinary intelligence, but also an excellent detective. He pursues justice for the sake of reputation and is a true gentleman. He has now come to Tivian, a city with countless crimes hidden in the dark. I think people will hear his name again sooner or later…"
Looking at the words the conductor said during the interview in the newspaper, Dorothy couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and then she quickly turned the page to look at other news.
"The situation on the continent has intensified again. The conflict with the Farano colony continues to escalate. The savage natives have set up a team to hunt down civilized people and are roaming around committing crimes. Many people have been killed. Governor Mitchell said that he will take tougher measures..."
"The conflict between the mainland colonies? It's not over yet, and it's getting worse. I don't think we'll have to go to war then..."
Looking at the contents of the newspaper, Dorothy thought that when she was still reading the newspaper in Igwynte a few months ago, she saw reports on colonial problems. Now it seems to have worsened.
What happened in this distant foreign continent had nothing to do with Dorothy. She took another look and turned the page to look at the next news.
"Earl Michael was found dead in his home. The police determined it was homicide. This is the third murder case in the Platinum District since May. Whether there is any connection behind it is still unclear..."
"The Platinum District murder case? And it's the third one? Is someone targeting the nobles and capitalists? It seems that there is unrest everywhere..."
Dorothy made a simple comment in her mind and didn't think much about it. She continued to turn the pages and read the news.
"The pollution report on Yueliu River and the air quality report on Tivian have been submitted to the Royal Council. There are different opinions on the rectification measures, and there are constant disputes..."
This is a news article with a political bent. The news itself is not very interesting, but the key point is that the school newspaper has specially opened a page for students to contribute articles and debate with each other on this topic, and it seems to be very popular. Several groups of students publish articles to each other and use the newspaper as a platform to openly debate. If you find the previous issues of the newspaper, you can see the heated debates between the parties. It is very lively and the level is quite high.
"...Heh...This level is much better than the people who used to rant and rave about each other on the Internet. There must be many politicians among these people. They have already honed their political writing skills..."
Dorothy read the newspaper and commented in her mind. After the social and political news, the next was the relatively trivial campus news. Dorothy glanced at the headlines and then turned the pages one after another. Gradually, she had almost finished reading the newspaper, but still did not find any clues about the secret society.
Just as Dorothy was about to put the newspaper down, one column caught her attention.
That column is the lost and found column at the end of the newspaper. Many students who have found valuable things have posted lost and found information here, and many students who have lost things have posted lost and found notices here.
Looking at the lost and found column in the school newspaper, Dorothy suddenly had an idea.
"Maybe... we can let those guys come to us on their own..."
Muttering, Dorothy put away her books and newspapers. She now needed to look for Beverly and the student newspaper.
…
Two days later, in the library of King's Campus, Dorothy sat in her seat, flipping through the latest issue of the school newspaper.
Taking the first issue of the school newspaper in her hand, Dorothy ignored the pile of various news in front of it, and then turned to the lost and found column at the end. Soon, Dorothy found what she was looking for there.
"Lost and Found: I found a piece of art on the first floor of the bell tower in the afternoon of September 10. The art piece is a black-gray stone triangle, which seems to be a corner of a stone tablet. One side is engraved with non-Prit characters and the other side is engraved with an open eye symbol.
"This item is now kept outside the east gate of the school, No. 23 Green Shade Town. If anyone loses it, please come and claim it after school."
Looking at the lost and found notice in the newspaper, Dorothy nodded and took out a small item from her purse. It was a black-gray stone triangle with an open-eye symbol and mysterious words engraved on it, exactly the same as the description in the lost and found notice.
That's right, Dorothy herself posted the lost and found notice in the school newspaper. The lost item was certainly not found by Dorothy, but she spent 20 pounds to find a stone artifact made by Beverly in five minutes. The appearance of this artifact looks like a spiritual storage object of "Enlightenment"! Dorothy's request to Beverly was to make it look like a spiritual storage object of "Enlightenment".
This school was once the base of the Xingshu Book Society, and it once housed many "enlightenments". Although it has been plundered by several societies in turn over the past few hundred years, is there still some fish that slipped through the net somewhere?
For example, if this fish that escaped the net was accidentally picked up by an ignorant mortal, and then foolishly and kindly posted it in the lost and found column of the school newspaper, what would happen if there was a member of a hidden gang in the school and saw this lost and found advertisement through the school newspaper?
This is the spiritual treasure of "Qi", it is impossible for them to be indifferent, at least... they have to come and take a look, and confirm it a little. It doesn't matter if it is fake, but if it is real, it will be a big fortune.
So what Dorothy has to do now is to wait for the other party to confirm.
