Collectors of Beauty World

Chapter 45 Undercurrent
Alice's outstanding performance not only attracted Lu Xiao's attention.At the same time, it also attracted the attention of another person, Quentin.

This guy who looked dumb at first glance seemed to be very interested in Alice.Pick up a conversation with the past after class.

It's a pity that Alice is more socially anxious than Quentin, the type who always lowers her head when walking and walks close to the roadside.That is to say, this is a magic school, everyone is self-aware, and bullying will not easily occur.Otherwise, those two people will definitely be bullied.

Of course, Alice is just a character thing.Just look at how people behave in class.If someone really wanted to bully her, there was no telling who would bully whom.

In language class, the teacher talks for ten minutes as usual.The rest is all self-study.

After class, Lu Xiao came out of that overclocked state.I washed my face and got used to my normal state.Then go home directly from school.

On the other side, after a while of entanglement, Quentin actually had a conversation with Alice.In the words, Alice revealed an important news.He didn't really want to come to school.The reason why he came was because his elder brother disappeared from this school many years ago.

Through magic, she learned that her brother was dead.So I came to school and wanted to find out the cause of my brother's death.

Quentin is a very decadent person, not interested in most things.But when facing the goddess, it is different.

He agreed immediately and helped Alice investigate the cause of her brother's death.

Investigations in the magical world are naturally different from reality.They do not need skills such as searching for clues or reasoning to solve the case.They can use a more direct method to summon the ghosts of the dead.

Spiritualism was not allowed in Brakebills.Because spiritualism needs to communicate with another world.And the world outside of reality is plentiful.If you are not careful, you will be linked to some worlds that should not be linked.

When the time comes, at least the summoner will die.At worst, it creates a large-scale crisis.After all, those things that will enter the world with the summoning spell will probably not be good things.

To take a step back, even if you can successfully link to the dead.The other party may not be the person in your memory.Because death always takes something away.

But two young people, one is the goddess licking the dog, feel obliged.One wants the truth and is fearless.

That night, the two of them sneaked into the library.Alice's family spell took effect again, and the restriction was lifted silently.And found the method of casting spiritism from it.

The two excitedly recorded the spell and prepared to go back for research.

On the other side, Lu Xiao came home from school.One block later, I found a large number of police officers blocking the road.After asking, I found out that a murder seemed to have occurred.

Lu Xiao took a detour to go home without being surprised.Julia, as always, offered her fiery body.

Lu Xiao repeatedly warned himself not to be so depraved.But after 1 minute, he and Juliet rolled together.

After the clouds cleared and the rain cleared, Lu Xiao heard a knock on the door.When I came out, it turned out to be Henry.

Ever since Lu Xiao helped Henry and Adam form a club of immortals.The relationship between the two has become much closer.Henry sometimes comes over to make a living.

But it's not the same as Abel's pure bastard.As a long-lived man, Henry has already maxed out his life skills.When it comes to cooking, this guy is a real top chef.And he also cooks authentic Huaiyang cuisine.

After the two were busy for a while, they made a sumptuous dinner and praised Juliet and Abel full of praise.

After dinner, Juliet and Abel went to clean up the kitchen.Lu Xiao, on the other hand, poured Henry a cup of tea.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"Hehe, you are over 200 years old, and you haven't learned how to hide your emotions."

"Well, I received a case today. An old man died. He was over 80 years old. It is said that he was a member of the church. According to the preliminary examination, he died naturally in his sleep."

"Natural death? What's wrong with that?"

"At least medically, I can't find anything wrong. The problem is the old man. I know him."

"It's always hard to see someone you know die, if you need a drink."

"No, that's not what I meant. The old man's identity is questionable. He is the 37th generation Dolan of the Holy Axe Cross."

"Holy Ax Cross Society." These two words Dolan made Lu Xiao's face suddenly become serious.

During the Battle of Portland, although he didn't face the big bald Calder face to face.But I have seen the other party fighting in the dark.

The Holy Ax Cross is a semi-official organization, and all hw in Portland are under their jurisdiction.Calder is the highest-ranking field officer inside.

And Dolan is a special position of the Holy Ax Cross.The job is to be Calder's assistant.Accept tasks for him and handle some trivial matters.

Because Calder had already lived to be 36 years old, 30 Dolans survived to death.And last night, No.[-] Seventh Generation Dolan also died.

"I met that child many years ago."

Calling an old man in his 80s a child, only an immortal like Henry has this qualification.

“He went through some not-so-good things when he was a child. I helped him, but we lost contact after he joined the church.

You know, I can't deal with this kind of religious organization.I can't look into it either.I know what Holy Axe Cross does.They maintain the balance of the underground world.I can't get in touch with them. "

"Henry, what can I do for you?"

"Sorry, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to tell you. Although the medical test showed that the other party died of natural causes. But I am [-]% sure that he must have died of murder. His room was tampered with. But I can't Tell my partner. She's a human being and can't be part of this.

And if my guess is correct.Someone murdered the words of contemporary Dolan of the Holy Ax Cross.That's a big problem. The city may be facing a storm. "

I have to say that as an old fritter who has lived for more than 200 years and can still be free.Although Henry's moral bottom line is a bit too high.But his IQ and experience are really top notch.

As a cheater, Lu Xiao knew what Dolan's death meant.But Henry was able to rely on experience to judge that the storm was coming, and it was not in vain that he lived for more than 200 years.

"I understand Henry, have you informed Adam?"

"Of course, as soon as he received the news, he left New York."

"."

There is no doubt that Adam is more stubborn than Henry.As an old monster who has lived for more than 2000 years, his caution has already penetrated into his bones.
