Old-time musicians

Fan Ning rubbed his eyes desperately.

I saw layers of wrinkled brown linen "curled up" inside the drift bottle, which had squeezed the entire rather large bottle tightly.

At least I folded it six or seven times before stuffing it in. I couldn't tell whether my phone was in it or not.

"This can't be it." He had a bad premonition, so he immediately thought of "The Room of Pain" which scared him to death several times.

"Did you encounter anything strange in the sealing room?" Sheeran asked from behind.

So Fan Ning told her a series of abnormal situations that occurred inside, including the circumstances of being interrogated after coming out.

"So the painting was first stuck behind the observation glass, then floated to the corridor wall, and finally ran into the drifting bottle?" Sheeran asked doubtfully.

Fan Ning didn't understand how it got in. When he finally turned back, it should have been on the wall outside. Even if it moved again, he was sure that he only had his mobile phone in the bottle, and he returned to the top. On the first floor, no more unusual movements were found.

Could it be because when flushing down the sewer of the destruction room, the drift bottle briefly returned to the lower level?

The drainage system is naturally connected, and the destruction chambers on each floor are on the same plane, but at different heights.

Fan Ning first borrowed a silver-plated tong from the hotel for holding pastries.

"Stand back a little." After reminding him, he wrapped the "gel membrane" around his wrist again.

Then he squatted down and carefully unscrewed the cork. At the same time, he kept himself from looking down, and kept inserting the clamp to see if he could get the phone out first.

But it turned out that this was a useless effort. The canvas of this work was so filled with bottles that he didn't even feel the position of his mobile phone. If he had one, it would be wrapped in the middle.

There was nothing to do but grab it and pull it all out.

Seeing that there was no movement in the "gel membrane" on his hand, Fan Ning finally lowered his head, raised the bottle, held his breath, and tried a few glances from the direction parallel to the folds of the canvas.

Seeing this, he showed a strange expression, then stretched out his hand and pulled it out in one breath.

As the large brown linen canvas unfolded, Fan Ning saw the mobile phone wrapped in the middle, but the canvas was brand new and there was nothing on it.

"Sublimation into migration? Caroln, you haven't appreciated it, have you?" Sheeran thought of "Green Night" with a hint of worry in his tone.

"I shouldn't have" Fanning found himself using uncertain words.

He re-searched the memories from eight or nine hours ago and felt that the pictures seemed a little discontinuous.

I just remember that when I was holding my phone, I stood in the opposite room in a daze, and then saw a rectangular frame with a black screen attached to it several times in different locations.

I must have never seen it, but I always felt that there seemed to be some discrepancies between the content of the painting and the description on the sign.

You probably haven't seen it.

He looked down at the "gel membrane" on his wrist again. Although it was no longer tight, the extra fourth sharp do note remained on it. This was the original consonant D minor chord. , and has always maintained a violent and rough sound effect.

"Anyway, it's not a bad thing if it escapes." Fan Ning said, "At least it won't interfere with my purpose. I don't care about the 'Gate of Seven Lights'."

"Is this what you said is an important item to you?" Sheeran picked up Fan Ning's black mobile phone and turned it over curiously, looking at it. "Is this made of painted plastic or rubber on the outside? In such a small volume, It’s quite heavy, there should be steel inside, and a glass plate, and there are several small glass discs on the back.”

"It is not considered a rare material or extraordinary item. The level of fine workmanship should be the most advanced industrial level in the empire, but the shape has never been seen before."

Sheeran did not ask about the origin other than expressing her opinion, because Fan Ning said that he might explain it to her later, and also emphasized the special commemorative significance. She believed that this should be an item related to Fan Ning's family accident a few years ago.

Fan Ning took the phone, habitually squeezed the screen button with his thumb, and then put it back in his pocket.

Theoretically, if a suitable hand-cranked generator could be made, the probability of successfully charging it was very high. In a world where the industrial level was close to the end of the Victorian era, it was not difficult to do this.

Of course, this rough method will greatly damage the battery life. Regardless of whether it can be fully charged to the maximum capacity, I am afraid that the battery will be completely scrapped after two or three flushes.

This takes some time to customize and debug. When Fan Ning has more energy, he may try to use this method to recharge the phone and turn it on for a while.

"Qiong isn't here?" After these thoughts flashed through, Fan Ning raised his head and asked.

"She may not have any rest tonight." Sheeran stepped on the bed and placed the soft pillow at the head of the bed. "I'm afraid there is still a whole day before the shift break. All members of the Bologna School in the imperial capital have been scheduled. Participated in investigations of contaminated residents or raids on hidden organizations.”

"She rests with Senior Sister Roy at the Tulip Hotel at the Royal Conservatory of Music, but the place you can find her now is theoretically at a hidden danger inspection site in a factory, or patrolling and observing in a dense residential area. point."

"Qiong's weekly salary of seven or eight pounds is suddenly uncomfortable." Fan Ning habitually took out the mobile phone in his pocket and put it back again and again. "Given her temperament, I guess she won't be very happy."

"With her temperament, she might be slacking off at a late-night restaurant," Sheeran continued. "Anyway, the specific dirty work is done by the Police and Security Bureau. And they have a daily working fund of up to 30 pounds recently, so there is no need to The reimbursement is considered as a subsidy. As a girl who is not in her second year of college, her income level may put the middle-class employee elites of Santa Ramburg to shame.”

"This job seems easy, but in fact it is quite dangerous." Fan Ning shook his head helplessly. Although the number of mysterious incidents investigated by the Guidance School has also increased, fortunately it has not reached the level where all members are required to coordinate.

Now that the students have safely returned to Uvranser, their performance mission has been completed perfectly, and they have also received the nomination title of "Boethius Artist". Maybe they can accompany Joan to investigate next, and in a safer place, At the same time, you can also find opportunities to kill the few remaining people in the underground party.

In this way, I completely avenged the deaths of Teacher Anton, Dean Gould, and the graduation concert incident, and fulfilled my official duties within my ability. I can register the symphony orchestra and accept the Turner Art without any shame. Hall, develop the music career. As for the disputes over the remains of the God of Origin that have nothing to do with you, let them fight openly and secretly.

"Caron, are you feeling a lot more relaxed now?" Sheeran once again captured his emotions keenly.

Fan Ning said "hmm", and the faint haze about potential pollution risks was temporarily forgotten by him.

"I'm going to book a room too. It's getting late. Let's rest first."

"Wait a minute." A smile appeared on the girl's cheek. She lifted the thin blanket, climbed to the bedside table, and took out a document-like thing, "Sir Viadrin told me to ask you to go there when you come back in the middle of the night. Find him in the building, and then you can take a look at this first."

"Go over now. What is this?" Fan Ning took the document in confusion.

"Substance names: re, fa, la, #do (four notes)"

Some unrelated scenes were inexplicably put together in front of him, and Fan Ning shook his head hard.

"Are you tired?" Sheeran gave a concerned look, "With the high tension and running back and forth, maybe you can take a nap before going out. Sir Viadrin wants you to come over when you come back, but it's not specific. time, there should be no rush.”

"It's okay." Fan Ning closed his eyes and opened them again.

“All seminar groups, county branches, city colleges and other affiliated schools or affiliated institutions of the Federation:

Carolyn Van Ning, a member of the School, is hereby appointed to the position of President of the Ufranser Chapter;

Lee Viadlin, a member of the school, no longer serves as the president of the Uvranser branch, and his position is appointed as the mentor of the school. "

The date of signing is today, and the unit is directly the Guidance School. It is shown below that three other extraordinary organizations and the Tioline Police Security Bureau were copied.

"Caron, you've been promoted again." The girl leaning on the bed smiled and said, "It's been less than a year since you joined the association, and it's the same as the graduation ceremony, and you've skipped a grade. There's another kind of relationship between us. , I just didn’t expect you to be my boss this time.”

"For example, which ones were there before?" Fan Ning deliberately joked.

"Business partner." Sheeran glanced at him angrily and got into the thin blanket, "Good night, help me turn off the lights."

After closing the hotel room door, Fan Ning walked lightly through the corridor.

It should be that after the new appointment documents are issued, the relevant procedures and the appointment of the heads of each county branch have been decided at the headquarters level.

The distance from here to the old library building of Santa Ramburg City College was only more than a hundred meters. As he approached the wide steps of the main entrance, Fan Ning's spiritual sense felt the gaze penetrating down from the heights of the night.

He raised his hand and waved, and the rustling sound of soil and grass roots came again from more than 20 meters away.

The next moment, he stepped onto the steel rainwater filter and flew upward in the night wind.

"Perhaps I can look for something commonly used next time to complete this kind of convenient and practical volley movement. Otherwise, it is not an option to always have to deal with public drainage facilities." The black coat made a sniffing sound, Fan Ning thought in his heart. .

Moreover, after his spirituality became more stable after being promoted to a high level, he felt that the range of the invisible power of this "key" phase could be commanded further than at first.

Then, he stepped directly in through the seventh-floor window of the old library.

"Caron, the intensity of your inspiration seems to be higher than I expected." Viadlin's rich voice sounded.

"President, what's the matter?" Fan Ning still prefers to call him his old position, because compared to the "inspector" of the Special Inspection Office, the "bishop" or "archbishop" of the church, and the "mentor" of the top leaders of the school. It always made him feel a little strange.

"You will be the president of the branch from now on." Viadlin corrected, "I called you here tonight because you have been promoted to a high level and have become the most important force among the members of the school. There is a very important test - also Enlightenment - will lead you to execute the experience.”

"Test? Revelation?" Fan Ning asked.

"Every high-level knowledgeable person will first see the Hui Pagoda at the core when visiting the Yiyong Basin Area. Although the requirements for crossing the door are extremely high and the process is extremely dangerous, this is always a priority for high-level groups. The path of exploration lies ahead.”

"After you fall into a dream, the school will guide you to see the remains of the 'Incineration Furnace'. This was once the leader of the school's second most profound study besides the 'Tower Builder'."

"In the dream about the 'Incinerator', you will experience some hidden knowledge related to the mystery of the Enlightened Ones and even higher, which is inconvenient to discuss excessively in the waking world. Of course, how much enlightenment this transcendental feeling can bring to you in the end, whether it is clear or vague, depends on your own inspiration and insight. We will also judge the intensity of your inspiration and subsequent potential after you are promoted to a higher level based on the corresponding characteristics."

Fanning, who was watching the wreckage of the "Incinerator", caught the latter keyword.

He had wondered before why the name of "Guido da Lezzo", the first leader of the Guidance School, appeared on the stone tablet of the Grand Court School. Could it be that the "Incinerator" was the witness master who was passed down from the 3rd Seventh Great Instrument Source God for the Guidance School to study?

Viadlin took him out of the office, and then came to a steam elevator, which sank directly to the basement on the -3 floor.

What surprised Fanning was that this place was not arranged like an office corridor or a special patrol room, but an extremely wide space. The ground, ceiling, and the surrounding walls in the distance were all covered with dense cracks, like the land slightly cracked in drought.

In the middle was an altar made of a large number of granite boulders. It looked like a tower base structure with only the lower floors built. What was particularly eye-catching was that the altar rock was also covered with cracks, and there was a faint purple electric light flashing in between.

This altar or tower base made the spiritual sense he was observing feel extremely unstable. The various elements that made up the vision were changing, rotating or oscillating. It seemed that something in the space would take shape at any time, or on the contrary, break and reorganize.

After a minute, the elevator behind him brought in the second group of people again.

"President of the Guidance School, Mr. P. Boulez, Honorary President of Santaram City University."

"Mr. Carmen Leon, mentor of the Guidance School, famous physicist of Theolian Polytechnic University, and designer of the second-generation differential engine."

"The other three are the leaders of the research group stationed in Santaram, who will be newly appointed by the school headquarters. They are at the same level as you. Of course, the main task today is not to introduce each other, so let's skip it for now. You will have the opportunity to work together later."

The president came here today? Adding himself as one of the four newly appointed high-level members

According to Viadrin, the revelation of the "Incinerator" will involve the mysterious hidden knowledge of the Enlightened and higher, and will also reflect the possibility of his own high-level follow-up, which makes him look forward to it and eager to try.

You know, as a Boethius nominated artist, he is now directly qualified to be promoted to the Enlightened! The rest is just a matter of his own objective conditions.

"President Fanning, I meet you for the first time today." Boulez's short and low voice hit Fanning's heart.

"It should be said that whether it is the speed of your progress after joining the guild, or your age when you hold this position, or your age as a 'Forging Lion'-level artist, it is rare in my life. I really hope to see what your spiritual potential is when you move to the next stage."
