Old-time musicians

After the New Year, the winter vacation has entered a countdown, but the schedule is still full. Fan Ning's only change is reflected in the time he spends lying in bed every day - in this ghostly weather with a minimum temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero, the struggle for a warm bed becomes more and more difficult. It got harder and harder. The time to arrive at Woodpecker Consulting Office went from eight o'clock to eight-thirty to almost nine o'clock. Google search reading

Three hours a day are spent learning Tulungarian and reading mystical literature for practice. During the other half of the day, Joan will come to guide the school and help translate and study unknown texts.

There are no further substantive results for the time being, but the basic work of splitting and sorting out is progressing steadily, and the previous piece of paper full of text boxes and lines has been written on the back.

This rare writing structure is doomed to discontinuous and jumpy research progress.

At night, I fell asleep in the "Qiming Church" for a string quartet rehearsal. Due to the unstable psychological suggestion of the ignorant, the number of people who could not get together was too many. There were four or five complete rehearsals in this month. Considering that it was in the city concert hall The performance requirements of the special concert must be supplemented by rehearsals in the waking world.

After the semester started in mid-term, Vice Dean Schütz of the School of Music arranged for Fan Ning to use Professor Anton Konard's former office as a temporary office space, and told him that it was Miss Roy's suggestion.

The relationship between the two gradually became the lubricant of the delicate relationship between themselves and their school of thought.

Various events and details made Fanning gradually confirm that Roy's status in the Bologna School was higher than imagined - at least in terms of family relationships, she should be far more than an uncle who was the vice-president of the University of San Lenia branch.

Judging from her musical talent and inspiration, even without the training she provided and the catalysis of the "Qingming Church", she could be promoted to a knowledgeable person before graduation. If paired with the powerful curse seal and spiritual skills of the Bologna School, Using potions or ritual utensils, one can quickly control considerable invisible power.

One gloomy afternoon, the temperature was still cold.

"Mr. Fanning, I brought the commission fee and a letter written to you by Miss Joan Nehemiah." Lou Adair's sturdy figure appeared at the door of Professor Anton's office.

"Thank you." Fan Ning looked up from a pile of teacher Anton's manuscripts, stood up and took the envelope.

The first envelope was not opened by Fan Ning, but it was clear that it contained 600 pounds in cash. This was Lu's payment for dedicating the 13 ditties he published with an average price of 200 pounds. Compared with the previous string quartet dedication, Lu indeed It can be regarded as "the budget has increased again."

Previous sources of income include Roy's 500-pound reward, Lord Nehemiah's 50-pound reward, and the Guidance School's salary for the past two months. Expenses include 300 pounds of promotion material deductions, practice bullets, and concert tickets. and daily expenses, which cut the savings in half.

With the purchase of 600 pounds of banknotes, my level of wealth finally exceeded the level at the beginning.

The paper in the second envelope was thickly folded and folded five or six times.

"What the hell? A paper bigger than a newspaper, just writing a few lines of words in the middle." Fan Ning saw that Qiong's small and crooked handwriting occupied an area as big as a palm in the middle, and he couldn't understand what was going on in her mind. What is.

Joan's letter was unheaded and unsigned, and went straight to the point:

"Sylvia's next gathering will be at 8 pm on January 31, near 140 Strand Street, South Dockside."

"It is normal for the Guiding School to be unclear about the moving material "Sparkle of Gold". Compared with the common "Skin of the End", it is a medium-to-high-level special curse seal production carrier. The Holy Sun Church may have it, But it was difficult to deal with them. Fortunately, the demand message I conveyed to the party informant was responded to. You may need to prepare 1,000 pounds of cash at the party.”

“The “Shining Golden Spark” world will quickly dim and expire when you wake up from Yiyong, so the one you bought must also be invalid, but this change is reversible – enter Yiyong to seek the attention of the “Unfallen Fire”, It will light up again and be brought back to the waking world to quickly perform the secret ritual. You need to have an intermediate level of strength to use it to create your curse seal."

"I will help you solve the problem of preparing the secret atmosphere. As a thank you for the rehearsal of the radiant spirit fluid and the 'Qiming Church', you don't need to trouble the elixir master of your school. You need to save as much money as possible to start a family in the future. ”

"Joan, why do you always have such strange preoccupations?"

Fan Ning shook his head helplessly at the end, and then stared at the number 1,000 in worry.

What did you just say? A breakthrough in abundance?

But it is necessary to prepare this curse seal in advance. It can store the "echo of light" - that is, the residual sense of dissonance brought to spirituality by some kind of revelation of the "unfallen fire" in the movement.

In this state, the light of my first acquaintance can use the sun as a temperature exchange to a certain extent. Unfortunately, it disappears too quickly. When I woke up last time, the light filled the room and then disappeared in only five minutes. .

Lu looked at Fan Ning as he was deep in thought, and reminded him softly: "Mr. Fan Ning, I have also compiled the list of part-time jobs collected by the team leaders of each hospital."

He handed over another form, and then explained on the side: "Due to the principle of voluntary privacy, the information reported by the students is not that complete. They are selective in the list of job type, organization name, working hours, salary and benefits, etc." Fill in, but I followed your tips and paid extra attention to people with higher salaries.”

He extended his finger and ran it over some columns: "At least among those who are willing to report their salaries, we can find some unusual points: 58 students have a weekly salary of 4-5 pounds, which is an exaggerated gap from other students as a part-time student income..."

"These 58 people did not fill in the name of the organization, and the working hours were relatively low. As for the content of the work, it was either blank or filled in with the description of the 'cultural' industry... This includes 53 middle-class students and 5 aristocratic students with some financial difficulties..."

When Lu said this, his voice was a little strange: "What's more strange is that 3 of them died unexpectedly during the winter vacation... But today is only the third day of school, and the news has not spread on a large scale."

Fanning's eyes naturally looked at the three lines marked with red ink. He frowned and read the brief annotations written by Lu next to it.

"He cried loudly for a day and two nights, and died of cardiac arrest due to exhaustion."

"With his own knowledge, he drank more than 600 ml of industrial alcohol in a short period of time."

"I was chatting with three friends on the balcony, and suddenly shouted "I am a flying ship" and jumped from a high place."

Lu lowered his voice: "I was shocked to learn these facts, and to be honest, I think the school's response was a bit slow. Our Adair family is responsible for one of the most important economic lifelines of the authorities, and we have connections in the special patrol department branches in various cities. From my understanding of them, similar suspicious incidents that default to the scope of responsibility may have been closed long ago... and the strange part-time work time of these students ranged from more than a month to more than half a year..."

He said that he could contact him again if needed, and then closed the door.

Fanning was silent for a while, looking at another document in his hand.

It was delivered to him by the Bologna School clerical staff a few days before the New Year, and it was signed by Vice President Huxley.

The above is the investigation of "Red Agate Culture Media Company", which mentioned that the address was "somewhat remote", the person in charge was named Spencer Cecil, and the business scope included "actor training" and "soundtrack production for audio films", and during the secret investigation, it was found that "the flow of people was large, and too many floors and rooms were abnormally closed"...

The final conclusion was: the clues were valid, and there was a high possibility of being related to the "pleasant listening meeting", and continued follow-up was required.

Then until now, the school has not contacted Fan Ning again.

"What's the situation? Is it possible that Teacher Anton can't push this matter himself?"

Fan Ning's eyes flashed with cold light, and he got up and went out after a moment.
