Chapter 185 Recruiting
In the suburbs of Tivian, outside the east gate of Royal Holy Crown University, Green Shade Town.
The soft afternoon sun shines on the quiet streets of Green Shade Town. This pleasant town, which is dedicated to serving students, has many shops, most of which are restaurants selling various dishes, as well as many sports equipment, cosmetics stores, bookstores, etc. In addition to the shops, most of the other houses in Green Shade Town are residential, where university lecturers and professors live, as well as many students who do not want to live in the dormitory but have sufficient financial resources, such as Dorothy.
On both sides of the quiet street shaded by green trees are rows of small buildings of various styles, including Dorothy's current residence.
On the second floor of a small building, in an independent teahouse facing the street, Dorothy, dressed in casual clothes, was sitting at a small table, drinking coffee and admiring the street view through the window.
This is the house Dorothy rented in Green Shade Town, No. 17 Green Shade Town, which is a one-story wooden exquisite building with a small garden. The first floor is a living room, kitchen, study, and guest room. The first floor has a bedroom, bathroom, tea room, balcony... The decoration is perfect and the environment is comfortable. Dorothy was very satisfied when she first saw it. In the end, she rented the house for 8 pounds per month, three months in advance, and one month's deposit, a total of 32 pounds.
This was at least seven or eight times more expensive than the apartment Greg rented for the two of them on South Sunflower Road in Igwynte, where she lived. Fortunately, for Dorothy at that time, affording this amount of money was not a problem at all. Or, every time she spent money on worldly things, she would feel conscientious and cheap, and she didn't even bargain with the landlord, who treated her as the daughter of some wealthy family.
After adding enough sugar, Dorothy stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon, stirring all the sugar cubes into the cup until they melted, then picked up the cup and began to sip the tea. While sipping her tea, she occasionally glanced out the window at another one-story building across the street, which was No. 23 Green Shade Town.
Although in Dorothy's own eyes, the small building in the distance seemed nothing special, but in her other vision, she had discovered something strange.
Birds hovering in the sky, geckos clinging on the trees, mice lurking in the garden... Dorothy's small corpse dolls have already spread all around No. 23, transmitting all the information they sense to Dorothy's brain, allowing Dorothy to fully grasp the surrounding environment in detail.
What's different from the past is that this time, these small corpses are not here to monitor No. 23, but to monitor the people who want to monitor No. 23, and they have already found such people.
One was a man sitting on a chair across the street pretending to read a newspaper, but looking out of the corner of his eyes at the house in the distance. Another was a young man eating in a restaurant across from No. 23, but while eating he looked out at the house across the street, and occasionally he asked the waiter something.
'Everyone is passing by...and it seems that no one is willing to take the initiative to visit and buy things. They all like to come and observe secretly.
'Very good, you think you are in the dark, that's the best.'
Looking at the two suspicious figures around No. 23, Dorothy thought that in Greenshade Town, Dorothy lived at No. 17, and she actually rented No. 23 for about 30 pounds in total, but this time she let the corpse doll show up. The fake identity was bought from the Tivian black market for 5 pounds. As for the location on the black market, she bought it from Beverly for 10 pounds.
Dorothy published a lost and found notice in the school newspaper, hoping to attract school staff to come and confirm the items in the storage by "opening" them. Of course, Dorothy, the target of confirmation, could not fill in her real address, but her doll's address.
At this time, Dorothy has realized that in this era, apart from herself, there may be no other extraordinary people on the path of "enlightenment". Therefore, possessing divination and anti-divination as a spiritual reserve of "enlightenment" has become extremely precious and important.
Therefore, not many children can resist the temptation of the spiritual storage of "Qi". She concluded that after the child in the hidden school saw the lost and found notice, he would definitely come to confirm it even if he just wanted to give it a try, not to mention that this child had just used up some "Qi" by Dorothy's divination.
Of course, the other party may also think that this is a fishing expedition, so they will not visit directly, but will conduct secret investigation first, and make a decision after confirming the background of the scavenger, such as now.
However, Dorothy had anticipated this, and she had already placed small corpse dolls around No. 23, waiting for them to monitor the investigators and then monitor them.
In order to prevent the other party from having "silent" extraordinary people and using ghosts to conduct reconnaissance, Dorothy herself lived in a place that could see No. 23, opened her spiritual vision and monitored with the corpses, and paid attention to the ring of concealment in her hand at all times to observe the spiritual consumption inside, and guard against extraordinary people with "lights" who would use range extraordinary searches. If she sensed such a search, Dorothy would immediately use the range-clearing talisman she got from Thordod to search the other side in reverse.
Dorothy set the trap only after making sufficient preparations. It didn't matter to her if the corpse was found to be abnormal. She just had to find the detectives who came to conduct the investigation. This was equivalent to catching the other party's tail, such as what happened now.
"I originally thought they would use some extraordinary investigative methods, but I didn't expect it to be surveillance plus inquiries. Perhaps there is no big conclusion in the learning, so they didn't use it in order to save spiritual energy or talismans."
Watching those who thought they were watching, Dorothy thought to herself that her goal had been achieved. She had lured out the gang members hidden in the school. The next step was to track them down and find their base.
Just as Dorothy was thinking this, suddenly, Dorothy accidentally discovered a figure walking towards her in the distance on the street.
It was a female figure, she seemed to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a plain brown long skirt and a brown short shirt. She had a distinctive face, bright eyes, dark brown hair, waist-length and slightly curly, and a darker skin color, leaning towards wheat. She was holding two books in her hands, and the very obvious bulge on her chest trembled slightly between her steps. She looked like a student at Holy Crown University.
Walking on the street, the woman looked around, as if she was looking for something by looking at the house numbers. When she saw the house number 23, her eyes suddenly lit up and she walked over quickly. The two men who were monitoring No. 23 and Dorothy were all startled.
When they arrived at the door of No. 23, the woman rang the doorbell. Seeing this, Dorothy immediately controlled the zombies on standby in No. 23 to stand up and go to open the door.
Holding the book, the woman was waiting at the door. After a while, the door in front of her was opened, and a gentle-looking young man with round glasses and neatly combed hair appeared in front of her. He looked at the woman in front of him and asked in confusion.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"Hello, student. My name is Nephness Boyle, a 24th-grade student in the Department of Archaeology. I saw the lost and found notice in the journal. The artifact you found is very likely mine, and I'm here to claim it."
The female college student named Nefernis said with a smile. Dorothy was startled when she heard his words.
"Damn... Two groups of people are coming. Can we catch two fish with this hook? And this senior sister, can we be more secretive when we do this? Don't just come to the door. Can we learn from those two who are hiding!"
Although she complained in her heart, Dorothy still did not slacken her operations. She operated her own doll and responded with a smile.
"I'm a student from the Department of Archaeology. My name is Brandon. Come in and sit down. The things are inside. We can verify them and prove that they are yours and then return them to you. Is that okay?"
"Yeah." Nodding, Nephnis followed Brandon into the house and closed the door. The two men who were monitoring him paused for a moment, then left their position, intending to monitor No. 23 more closely.
