Chapter 188 Academy
Outside the east gate of Royal Holy Crown University, Green Shade Town.
In the afternoon, sudden gunshots broke the tranquility of the Green Shade Town. The students and residents who were disturbed by the gunshots called the police in panic. Since Green Shade Town is home to many children of wealthy and powerful families and is a typical high-class community in Tivian, the police did not dare to neglect it. After receiving the alarm, they immediately gathered in front of the house at No. 23 Green Shade Town, where the gunshots were heard.
The police rushed to the scene and quickly entered the house of No. 23. However, to their surprise, there was no one in the house where the gunshots were heard. Not only was there no one, there was not even a dead body. There were only a few spots of blood on the floor of the room.
While the police and the onlookers were gathering to discuss Case No. 23, in a coffee shop at the other end of Green Shade Town, the parties involved in Case No. 23, Nevonis and Brandon, were sitting face to face in a private room, facing each other across a table. Brandon, who had changed his clothes, was sipping tea calmly, while Nevonis looked at the man in front of her with a nervous and uneasy expression.
"Don't be nervous, Miss Boyle. If the body is not found, these policemen will not bother to initiate a serious investigation based on just a few gunshots. We will be concealed enough when we withdraw, so don't worry." Brandon said to Nefernis in front of him with a smile, but the expression on Nefernis's face did not seem much more relaxed.
However, Nefnis's reaction was understandable. The person who had been confirmed dead with her own eyes was now sitting in front of her and singing and chatting with her like a normal person. It would be hard to feel relaxed in such a situation.
"Um... Mr. Brandon, are you... the extraordinary person in the rumors?" After adapting for a while, Nefernis asked Brandon, and Brandon nodded slowly.
"Just barely..."
"It's really an extraordinary person... Is there anyone among the extraordinary people who can bring the dead back to life? And he said that we... and so many people before, are they really a secret society? A secret society from outside the school..." Nephnis thought to herself.
Nefernis thought that before, she had treated the other party as an ordinary person and kept reminding him and thinking about his safety, but the other party was truly an extraordinary person. Thinking about the scene at that time now, she felt a little embarrassed.
"So, the lost and found notice you posted..."
"So this is the bait I wanted to use to attract the possible secret societies in the school. However, I didn't expect that this bait was too effective. It not only attracted you, but also those rude guys." As he spoke, Brandon took a sip of tea, then looked at Nefernis and said.
"Let me put it this way. I, or rather, we are exploring some extraordinary mysteries in the King's Campus of Guanda University, so we need to contact the associations there. We thought we could lure them in and talk to them, but we didn't expect such an accident to happen. It seems that there are complicated situations in the secret world of the school that we don't understand.
"So, Miss Boyle, could you tell us in detail about the current secret situation in the school? Maybe we can help you later."
Brandon spoke solemnly to Nefernis. Hearing Brandon's words, Nefernis was slightly stunned, and then seemed a little hesitant. However, after thinking that the other party had saved her and might be a turning point for her current predicament, she nodded in response.
"Okay... You saved me, so as a reward, I will try my best to tell you what I know. Although it's not much, I hope it will be useful to you.
"When talking about the secrets within Holy Crown University, we have to mention an organization, the Secret Knowledge Society."
…
Throughout the hundred-year history of Royal Holy Crown University, this secret society has always existed, and that is the Secret Knowledge Society.
It is said that when the early students of Guan University were exploring the campus, they accidentally discovered some extraordinary secrets hidden in the school. In order to study this secret, some students secretly formed a society, which was the origin of the Secret Society.
The Secret Society is said to be a secret society, but it is just a gathering of mysterious lovers. However, most of the students of Holy Crown University come from wealthy families. With sufficient financial support, they can always obtain truly extraordinary donations and items. During a long period of development and research, they gradually came into contact with the real extraordinary.
In general, the Secret Knowledge Society is an organization where a group of ordinary people with a good family background, who are interested in the mysterious and have a strong curiosity, gather together to study the mysterious and even seek the extraordinary.
This mysterious society, mainly composed of students, has caused many large and small accidents in the past few decades in order to study the mysterious. It was banned by the school several times and was visited by relevant departments.
However, since most of its members have backgrounds, even though the club was banned, there was no way to severely punish its members. Therefore, it would revive soon after being banned. After several rounds of back and forth, the school also tacitly accepted its existence and began to focus on guiding the research direction of the Mizhi Academy. After experiencing many accidents, the Mizhi Academy also found a relatively safe research method, and the frequency of serious accidents began to decrease until today.
Today, the Secret Knowledge Society is still the only student club in the Holy Crown University that studies the mysteries. It has a history of several dozen years, but because it has no ancient heritage, it does not have any profound and powerful secret teachings. The things they study are quite diverse. Unlike other serious clubs that pursue a certain spirituality or a certain god, they study a little bit of everything, but the level is very low. Experienced seniors in the club will lead the club members to avoid some dangerous actions.
Moreover, because the seniors who have achieved some success will continue to graduate and leave school, the level of the club has always been very limited. It is very rare to find people who are truly extraordinary. Most of the members remain at the stage of mysterious lovers. The club itself does not have much power, and you are free to leave or stay. Occasionally, there will be real extraordinary people in the club, but they will leave after graduation.
To put it simply, the Mizhi Academy is a mysterious society in the form of a student interest club. Although it will constantly cause some small accidents, it does not cause much harm.
Nefernis is a member of the Mystic Society. She and her friends are all occult lovers, so she joined the Mystic Society a long time ago and began to study the true and false, all kinds of occult with other people with similar interests.
…
"So, your esoteric knowledge society is essentially just an occult interest class? There aren't even two extraordinary people in it?"
Listening to Nefernis' words, Dorothy asked Brandon to summarize, and Nefernis nodded affirmatively.
"Yes, the former Secret Knowledge Academy felt like it was not much different from clubs like the football club... As for the real extraordinary people, it was said that only a few former presidents had achieved extraordinary powers, and many members still didn't believe that there really were extraordinary powers in this world.
"But, more than half a century ago, everything changed. At that time, a newcomer came to the Mizhi Academy, a newcomer with the code name 'Chicken Velvet'.
"He is an extraordinary person. He was a true extraordinary person before joining the Secret Knowledge Society. After joining the Secret Knowledge Society, he directly took it into his own hands."
