Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 6
Lyle regained consciousness in the early morning of the next day, when the rays of light began to render the clouds.

The feeling of hunger aroused his foraging instinct, and Lyle could only force himself to wash up.

Lyle didn't have enough time to sleep. He disinfected his epidemic doctor's uniform, and then carefully checked the letter.

Once a person is at ease, the mind will start to think wildly.

The moving corpse is obviously a supernatural phenomenon. Does this mean that magic is also one of the teaching areas involved in Angry College.

The hostile behavior of the corpse yesterday also dispelled Lyle's image of the evil organization of Angry College in his heart.

If the corpse is a creation of the academy, then no smart person will allow it. Any behavior that shows hostility to his inviter and leaves a good first impression is almost a human instinct.

Therefore, the corpse not only shocked Lyle, but also whitewashed the image of Angry College.

Maybe the people in the academy are excellent wise men who are good at using all the factors they know, no matter how good or bad, to achieve their goals, while leaving their own traces as small as possible, acting secretly in response to the repeated emphasis in the letter, not It is difficult to judge that the college has a conservative attitude towards the outside world.

After all, it is Lyle's personal sense.If you think it's bad, you're a conspirator behind the scenes; if you think it's good, you're a recluse from the world.

Laughing at his double standard, Lyle started to make a fire and prepare for the meal.

Tuk Tuk.

The door was knocked.

Probably Ralph.At this time, the night patrol was over, and there was such a grotesque thing around Lyle last night. It was a bit unexpected that he came to visit so late.

When the door opened, it was the man standing outside.

Still hunched over, with a zombie face, the tiredness of staying up late didn't reflect on his face at all, maybe his dark circles deepened a little.

In his hand, he held an oilcloth bag.I walked straight to Lyle's table and put the cloth bag on it. From the corner of the side leak, I could see that there were ingredients such as potatoes and carrots inside.

"I went to the market just now and saw cheap vegetables. Here's to you."

"Well." Lyle will be grateful, but he will not express it verbally. Ralph's help to himself cannot be summed up simply by thanking him, not to mention that he himself does not need it.Between family members, no need to thank you.

"Stay for a meal, uncle."

"No, patrolling all night, just want to go back to sleep."

"Then I'll make some soup for you, drink a little, and help you sleep."

"……also."

Lyle started working in front of the pot.

Ralph sat in a chair, handing Lyle the ingredients from time to time to keep him from running back and forth between the fireplace and the table.

"I know what happened last night, your work is done, congratulations, newcomer."

"I guessed it, Mr. Jordan asked me to come back, and I knew that I was qualified."

This is a lie.

One of the biggest reasons for Lyle's insomnia last night was speculating on the results of his work. Logically speaking, he did not find the cause of death, but last night's events could not be logical, and Wilt's words and deeds did not show any dissatisfaction. .

"You didn't tell me that Gilbert Wilt was your nemesis."

"It's just a disagreement."

"Can I interpret this as a test? Dissecting a corpse alone and facing a weird test at the end."

"I guessed that Wilt would be negligent and not do what I suggested, that part is one of my expectations of you, standing alone in a dark corner facing a dead body, that composure is what I expected to see ."

"But I didn't expect that the first time you worked, you encountered a [special event]."

"Isn't that very common?"

"[Special events] About two or three times a year, although rare, but impressive."

Lyle stirred the spoon vigorously, so I won the special prize. First I witnessed the Holy Light, and then I witnessed the weirdness. Lyle touched the stationery in his arms, and there may be more contact in the future.

Mysteries follow.

"By the way, I have something to show you." Lyle took out the letter from his pocket, the envelope was kept by Lyle, the dark blue wax was sealed on the envelope, it was the emblem of the college, Lyle had a hunch , that is something more important than what's on the stationery.

The plant on the emblem is nightshade, a plant with anesthetic and blood pressure-lowering properties, and an overdose is a deadly poison.

For ordinary people, Nightshade has a louder name, Death Knell Flower.It only grows in cemeteries, foretelling ominous and bad omens.

In his heart, Lyle hopes to go to Andrews College to study. Ralph is his family. He is willing to communicate with Ralph, which can be said to be a choice that goes against this era, but he will also screen the content to a certain extent. .

Ralph took the letter from Lyle. He looked at the paper, glanced at the front and back, and stared at Lyle again, until Lyle began to sweat and turned his eyes away.

Lyle felt scrutiny in his eyes just now, he was like a child expecting his parents to buy him toys.He answered timidly, "How is it?"

"Well... this paper is very good, and the quality is very good."

"???" Lyle felt that his worries were played for the blind, why didn't I remember that Ralph was a master of bad jokes.

"I mean content! Content!"

"Content?" Ralph looked at the letter again and again, "Isn't this just a blank piece of paper?"

What?Lyle looked at the black and white letters on the stationery. They were as conspicuous as ants on honey in Ralph's hands.

The word is on it, but can't Ralph see it?
Ralph is not a person who can joke, that is to say, this letter, the readers who will choose it, Ryle has more awe for the power of the mysterious side.

"There are words on this paper? What word game is it, and what developer paint did you get?"

"Ahaha, I've been found." Lyle snorted, took the letter from the helpless Ralph, and put it back in his pocket. Since Ralph didn't find it, don't talk to him. said.

Lyle couldn't find the courage to tell him the truth again.

Andrews College, is the way forward for me, only I can see, the way forward.

"Okay, the soup is ready."

Lyle picked up the steaming night of vegetable soup from the pot and handed it to Ralph.

It seemed to taste good, and Lyle even saw his frown relieved for a moment.

Putting the clean soup bowl on the table, Ralph stood up, straightened his clothes, and put on a top hat.

"Last night's body was disposed of, the church did it. Your autopsy, according to them, seems to be a newly born lich, don't be too surprised, the weirdness is actually not that scary, as long as you keep your distance and consult professionals at any time. I have communicated with my superior and asked you to take a leave to adjust your mentality. The day after tomorrow, you can officially come to the office to work. "

"I understand."

Not so scary?
You can't even read a piece of paper.

After sending Ralph away, Lyle looked at the letter again.

第七街No.13号吗？

Be sure to check it out, Lyle doesn't want to, to experience Ralph's feeling of being out of the way, like treasure slipping under his nose.

What are you like?
