Krafft's Anomaly Notes

Chapter 221
When the incident happened, the whole Dunling was sleeping surrounded by the Tem River as usual, and the lantern patrol wandered the empty streets boredly.

Canon rules and traditions have not faded in the old city, and few people want to go out without providing night service places.The damp and cold swayed between the colonnades, wet the clothes, and coated the building surfaces and exposed skin with water droplets.

So when passing by the white stone building, the night watchman didn't immediately realize what happened, but felt a bright red light above his head, radiating heat that he could feel even if he was far away.

And only for a short while when the question flashed, the red heat reached a level that could not be ignored.

He looked up, and the dome that should have been blended into the night was illuminated by a twisted and changing light, and a long red tongue with jagged edges spewed out from the open window, engulfing the ashes of the paper that rose and flew in the heat flow.There was a deflagration and a heavy object overturned, like the hot mouthpiece of hell swallowing and grinding.

A sparkling corner of the paper was sent to the feet of the Foehn, and the poor man who happened to be on a routine duty finally understood what was going on, and tried to wake someone up to control the fire.

But there were not many people left in the academy at night, and even though it was near the river, the fire was only brought under control when it came out.It's hard to say whether it's the effect of those few buckets of water, or the self-sufficiency after burning all the combustibles.

After Green received the news the next day and arrived in a hurry, the development of the matter was completely different from the original idea.Several suspected parties were buried in the sea of ​​flames without exception, and even the remains were difficult to distinguish, and their identities were guessed based on their accessories and locations.

When he wanted to contact the informant to understand the internal situation, Brother Vadin regretfully informed that this informant, who had finally developed with great difficulty, would no longer be able to provide clues in the future.

In just half a day, Green, standing in front of the fire scene, experienced a wealth of inner changes, from shock, confusion, to anger, and back to confusion.

The situation in the fire scene strengthened his judgment.In addition to the half-settled haze that needs to be masked and filtered, there is an eerie smell in the air, similar to the smell you smell when you re-grease a burnt-out lantern.

Everything was in an indistinguishable charred state, like a large furnace that had been used for many years, and there were burning carbides. It will be impossible to count the number of people at half past one.

Not to mention completely certain, at least [-]% sure that this is a premeditated action.

It's not that he didn't think that Professor Morrison would find out, but as a recognized leader of the medical school and a royal advisor, in the worst case, even if he is found to have an affair with heresy, he can have a way to reduce the punishment. Retire from office and go back to the manor outside the city for the elderly, and the church will reasonably obtain the right to deepen its control over the medical school.

Under the condition of early detection, there are countless ways to clean up the net before the trial court closes, leaving no evidence.

Instead of holding a funeral for the identity of Professor Morrison as it is now, it also solved the eyeliner who was finally placed in the academy, and offended the trial court to death.

All in all, excluding the possibility of negligible accidents, the degree of insanity of this behavior is no different from amputation of the hand due to elbow pain, amputation of the leg due to knee pain, or amputation below the head due to cervical spondylosis.

The completely incomprehensible behavior brought about thick clouds of suspicion, and a kind of horror that shakes the soul blessed by the gods, just like a long shadow suddenly appeared under the waters, and the whole figure was unknown, and it was only discovered after the boat sailed into the tributary. It was not a shallow sandbar, but a fishing target.

The most terrifying thing is that the long shadow never appeared again, but it was always cruising in the depths of the disturbed heart, and from time to time there appeared ripples that made people wake up from the dream.

Green is convinced that he must find it, because it is far more than an indelible stain in his career, and it also makes people feel an inexplicable sense of strangeness and insecurity when walking in a city that they think they are completely familiar with.

Behind Morrison and the potion whose efficacy is only known, there must be some unimaginable truth.

This is why, after a rough understanding of the basic information of the visiting scholar, he decisively decided to deal with it himself, and followed him here.

"I thought you would know more." The professor was only a little surprised when he heard the distinctive piece of rubbings, showing a little thoughtfulness, but he was noncommittal about the rest, as if he was listening and learning. The appearance of long-old news.

The big man in full armor, that is Brother Vadin, retorted, "Then what do you know?"

I know a lot, and Kraft really wanted to say that, but considering the different situations of the two parties, most of what he knew couldn't be explained normally, so he had to say it.

"No matter what, thank you very much for sharing. I won't talk about my views on the strange fire. I think only you in the medical school will think it was an accident." He stroked his train of thought and felt that the establishment of some consensus is conducive to communication between the two parties, " Professor Morrison must have been involved in crimes far more serious than body robbery and heresy."

"So, let's assume that this inference is true, and we must figure it out before it becomes a big trouble that no one can handle, and deal with it as soon as possible."

"If there were any clues, the trial court would have done that half a year ago. Of course, it would be great if you would take advantage of your status to provide some news about the academy." Regarding the loss of the informant, Vadin obviously still Sadly, it looks like the Inquisition didn't develop a second character who could go to medical school and be willing to serve the church anytime soon.

Green was not so direct, just suggested: "Professor Kraft, I would like to swear on the truth of what I said on the basis of my faith in the Heavenly Father. To be fair, shouldn't you explain more frankly what you are doing and why?" come here?"

This question stuck to Kraft. Before being asked, he never thought about its answer seriously, or felt that the reason was sufficient and obvious, just like water flowing from a high place to a low place.

Let’s say it’s for justice, but not necessarily; for yourself, it seems that as long as you don’t touch your hands at the beginning, there will be no interest.

There is neither the great ambition to contribute to the benefit of the world, nor the grief and indignation to uphold justice for anyone in particular, but only follow the basic logic.This kind of logic seems to be insufficient as a support for going back to this point across most of the kingdom.

Green observed Kraft's silence, and the thin shell feeling he felt briefly in the tomb reappeared on the other person, as if this very vigorous body was actually the smooth white shell of a brittle bird egg.

"I'm curious, I want to know what's going on. Why don't you show me the rubbing of that manuscript, maybe it will inspire me."

"After you prove that your medical skills do not involve violations, there is no problem."

"So what are you waiting for, let's go now, I hope this can be the first step in building trust, after all, we have the same goal."
