Chapter 191: Probing
Royal Sacred Crown University, King's Campus.
The sky was clear and the afternoon sun shone through the windows onto the quaint corridor. Students in various clothes were walking forward in groups of two or three, talking and laughing, and Nephnis was among them.
Nefernis had no companion. She walked alone in the corridor, weaving in and out among the crowd. She had a calm face and steady steps as she walked forward firmly. Although her expression was serious, her beautiful figure and voluptuous chest still attracted the attention of the male students passing by. Some male students who were walking with their lovers were attracted by Nefernis and turned their heads away for a while, but were pulled back by their girlfriends who pinched their ears.
"Mr. Brandon asked me to go to the gathering point tomorrow to guide his 'eyes'. In other words, is there anything following me secretly right now?"
Nephnis thought so as she walked, and indeed, just as she thought, something was following her.
At this moment, on the ceiling of the corridor, a small gecko was lying there, silently following Nefernis's footsteps, while Dorothy herself was controlling it in the school library.
Dorothy needs Nefernis to lead the way and lead her small corpse doll to the gathering point of the Secret Society, where Dorothy will have a chance to find the thorn.
As long as the Thorn Velvet can be monitored around the clock, the secrets of the school, the Eight-Pointed Nest, will be fully revealed to Dorothy.
So now Dorothy needs Nefernis to lead the way to the gathering point, which according to Nefernis is the only place where the thorns appear.
Nephnis walked forward in the campus at a moderate pace. She turned and passed through several corridors in succession. The place she walked to was getting more and more remote, and there were fewer and fewer people around her. Finally, she walked into an empty stone tower. She looked down from the spiral staircase inside the tower and finally came to a wooden door.
Nephnis stopped in front of the wooden door and knocked on it several times in a regular pattern. The hidden small window on the door opened, and a pair of eyes inside looked at the scene outside. Then the small window closed and the wooden door opened.
"Welcome back, fellow, for Mr. Thorn's career." The tall male student guarding the gate said to Nefernis, and Nefernis responded respectfully.
"Mr. Thorn's will is our highest goal..."
After answering, Nefernis walked through the door, and the little gecko took the opportunity to crawl in.
What appeared before Nefernis was a large, dark room, supported by several pillars. The windows around it were few and small, and the glass was installed high. The sunlight coming in through the windows was limited, so some gas lamps had to be lit in the room for auxiliary lighting.
The room was filled with tables, stools, and towering bookshelves. Several students could be seen sitting inside. Some were reading seriously, some were kneeling by the wall and praying, some were muttering absentmindedly, and some were hiding in a corner and looking around suspiciously.
On one side of the wall, there was a banner with a slogan that read "Pursue the unknown, remember the boundaries." However, the slogan was taken down by two students with a ladder and replaced with another one. "Follow Mr. Thorn, we have no boundaries!"
Nephnis walked forward while observing the familiar scenes around her. At this time, a girl with short chestnut hair ran over from her side. She patted Nephnis on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Hey! Neveu, you came really early today!"
"Ah... Daisy, you scared me." Being frightened by the girl next to her, Nephnis patted her chest and said, while the other party looked at Nephnis twice and answered seriously.
"How could you be scared? This is the company, a place where everyone feels most at ease. I saw that you were uneasy just now. Are you hiding something? I think you are..."
When Daisy looked at her like this, Nephnis's expression froze, her eyes slightly widened, and her heart was beating wildly.
Just at this moment, Daisy changed the subject and continued speaking with a smile.
"I see you have a boyfriend. You finally got it, my little Neve~"
"No way! Don't talk nonsense!"
Hearing Daisy's words, Nephnis immediately reached out her hand with a red face and pressed the other person's head down, and the other person also stood up and apologized with a laugh.
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, it's just a joke. I just think that Nef is a little proactive today. She comes to the club so early. Usually you come late." With a hint of playfulness, Daisy said to Nefnis, and the other party responded with a smile.
"Well... I also want to see if Mr. Thorn Velvet is here. I haven't seen him in person for a long time, almost three months. I'm really eager to see him again."
"Ah...I see. I know exactly how you feel. This is what happens when you can't suppress your admiration for Mr. Thorny. So you should read Mr. Thorny's collection carefully. As long as you have read five books like I have, you can enter the inner area. The chances of meeting Mr. Thorny there are higher.
"But you are lucky today. Mr. Thorn is now in the outer district. He is preparing to collect another round of donations." Daisy said with a smile. Nephnis was slightly startled after hearing her words.
"Collecting donations? Didn't we just donate once half a month ago?"
"That was half a month ago. It's been so long, so it's normal to raise funds again now. This time I lied and said I broke my leg at school and asked my family to send me 10 pounds. This time I can finally donate more.
"Also, do you remember Andy who pursued me last time? I plan to agree to date him, and then show him Mr. Thorn's collection, and ask him to join the club. His family is quite rich. As long as I bring him in, I will make a greater contribution to Mr. Thorn."
…
Daisy was talking incessantly beside Nefnis. Looking at her friend in this state, Nefnis smiled and responded, and clenched her fist secretly.
"Daisy... I will definitely make you back to normal..."
…
On the other side, after Dorothy's gecko corpse entered the gathering point, it began to wander around the ceiling and walls, searching for the figure of the so-called thorn. After a while, Dorothy found the target's figure at the entrance of a corridor.
It was a corridor covered with spider silk. It seemed that because it was rarely used, the ceiling, walls and ground of the corridor were all covered with a layer of fine and thin spider silk webs. And at the entrance of this corridor covered with spider silk, two figures were standing there.
One of them was wearing a well-dressed black suit and black leather shoes. He was tall, had short brown hair, a top hat, and a mask with a black background and white lines on it. The white lines on the mask were radial lines. The other one was a middle-aged man with ordinary clothes and a mustache. He looked like an outsider. He was talking to the masked man in the black suit.
"I found it..."
Looking at the masked man, Dorothy thought in his heart, and then he controlled the gecko corpse to crawl quickly from the ceiling to approach, eavesdropping on what the other party said.
"Mr. Thorn... We have already searched all of Greenshade Town, but we haven't found Barron and Thomas. The person in Room 23 has also completely disappeared. Not only can the police not find him, but we can't find him either. It's as if they have completely evaporated from the face of the earth!"
The middle-aged man spoke to the masked man named Thorny, and the other man hesitated and answered.
"That so-called property recovery is indeed problematic. The two of them are probably in trouble now. I don't know whether they broke in and were killed, or were discovered and killed...
"Anyway, this school must have been interfered by some unknown party, and they started fortune-telling right away. Humph, is this considered a declaration of war?"
While speaking, he looked at the subordinates in front of him and continued.
"Any other findings on the 23rd?"
"We found very few other things... well... we only know that the owner of the house rented the house with a fake ID, there were gunshots and fighting inside, and... someone saw a woman enter the house, but he was far away at the time and didn't see her face clearly. We only know that she had dark skin and a good figure, and she might be a student of this school!"
