Chapter 4: Investigation
As early as dinner time, Lu Mingfei used magic to check his uncle's family and confirmed that they were all ordinary people.
So he turned his focus to his parents and senior Chu Zihang and prepared to investigate.
...
Late at night, when everyone in her family fell asleep, Lu Mingfei, wearing a black sweatshirt, wearing a mask and gloves, flipped through the window of the bedroom window.
His purpose tonight is to sneak into Shilan Middle School to peek at Chu Zihang's volunteer form. Shilan Middle School will ask students to fill out a wish form for aspiration university after they enter the third year of high school. If the statement that Chu Zihang wants to study abroad is true, then there may be a school that Chu Zihang wants to go on the intention form.
Originally, Lu Mingfei would never be able to do something like going to school late at night to peek at information, but after hearing his uncle talk about his father's abnormality, he thought of Chu Zihang, who was equally excellent and lonely, and he felt that there might be a connection between the two. Lu Mingfei, who would rather miss it than let it go, decided to investigate Chu Zihang first.
...
The school in the dark seemed a little gloomy. After the holiday, all the teachers and students left, and only the security guards on duty were still standing at their posts.
After returning to the security room after the security guards inspected the first round, Lu Mingfei climbed over the fence that students often skipped school and secretly went to the teaching building model.
He had already known the surveillance location and carefully avoided the surveillance and came to the archives room. He confirmed that it was after the surveillance blind spot, and he walked to the door.
Magic was condensed at the fingertips, and Lu Mingfei drew a rune on the wooden door of the archives. With a "click", the lock was opened.
Seeing this, Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this was an ordinary mechanical lock. If it was replaced with an electronic lock, his Lun rune would not be opened.
After entering the archives room, Lu Mingfei began to look for his target.
The golden light shone out from the eyes, and the golden pupils were lit up. The darkness in front of him could not hinder Lu Mingfei.
After finding the bookshelf for the third grade of high school to store information, Lu Mingfei quickly saw the target.
Opening the file bag with Chu Zihang's name written on it and looking at the photo of the same face as in my memory, Lu Mingfei was sure that this was not someone else with the same name.
Following the name, he quickly found Chu Zihang's school of intention.
“Cassel College.”
Lu Mingfei was a little confused when he saw this strange name. He never mentioned it when he listened to his classmates discussing various famous foreign schools.
He pressed his confusion and decided to leave and check the school.
After returning the file to its original state, Lu Mingfei cleared the traces of infiltration, bypassed the surveillance and used the same trick again to leave the school.
...
After leaving school, he did not go home directly, but turned around and entered the Internet cafe he often went to.
"Oh! Are you here?" The network administrator invited him to say hello as soon as he saw him come in. Lu Mingfei, who contributed almost all his pocket money here, is also considered a celebrity here.
"Drive whatever you want." Lu Mingfei took out his only change.
"Old location, have fun." The network administrator clicked on the control computer a few times and handed him a card.
After finding the seat, Lu Ming turned on the computer skillfully. Although he had an old laptop, it was eliminated by his uncle's office. The startup sound was huge and slow, which was incomparable to the configuration of the Internet cafe.
After opening the web page, after typing "Cassel Academy" in the search bar, a bunch of results popped up.
After skipping the advertisement, Mingfei saw the one he was looking for.
This is a private university located outside Chicago, USA. It is a friendship school at the University of Chicago. The official website’s student style page also has many award-winning photos, and inter-school activities such as equestrianism, rowing, swimming, etc. are held every year in Lake Michigan.
Seeing this, Mingfei was confused. With Chu Zihang's excellence, the University of Chicago was the place he should go. Although this Cassel College looked good, it was much more competitive with the University of Chicago.
Lu Mingfei decided to ask people.
He opened the QQ page and found a friend named Lao Tang, who happened to be online.
"Are you there? Ask you something?" Lu Mingfei sent a message.
Lao Tang is a friend Lu Mingfei met in the game group. He is a Chinese American and lives in New York, USA. It is just right for him to ask about this.
Before a while, the other party replied. "Here, he is, it's really strange to see you online at this time. Is this what you call 'American work and rest'?"
Seeing his complaints, Lu Mingfei did not intend to explain and went straight to the point: "Have you ever heard of Kassel Academy?"
"What are you asking this?" Ronald Tang, who was on the other end of the earth, returned in surprise after seeing the netizens' questions.
"I have a senior who I long for wanting to study abroad, and I apply to this college. I think you are in the United States, so maybe you want to ask for it if you know it." Lu Mingfei casually made up a reason.
Old Tang thought about it and decided to tell the truth to Lu Mingfei: "I have never heard of Kassel Academy, but I know the word Kassel."
"Tell me specifically." Lu Mingfei felt that he had found the right person.
"I am easily exposed to information that ordinary people cannot access because of the special nature of my work. Kassel is one of them." Old Downton continued: "Cassel is a rumor in my business. People who have been exposed to it have no good ending. I don't know what it is. I don't know if this has anything to do with the Cassel Academy you asked about, but you should advise your senior to give up. If you touch this word, there will probably be no good things."
After reading this interlude, Lu Mingfei felt that he was closer to the truth.
"Thank you for your reminder, I will try to persuade him." It was impossible to persuade Chu Zihang, and he was still preparing to contact him and take a look.
...
After returning from the Internet cafe, Lu Mingfei stared at the ceiling and thought about what reasons to use to meet Chu Zihang. After checking Chu Zihang's files, he remembered the other party's family address.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep after having a curse in his heart.
Just after he closed his eyes, a black shadow appeared beside his bed, looking at him curiously with golden eyes.
Lu Mingfei suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the bed!
There is nothing there.
Frowning in confusion, he turned around and continued to fall asleep.
On the rooftop opposite the window, a boy in a small black dress sat on it, shaking his feet.
"Brother, what did you go through? How did your soul become..." The boy paused and smiled, saying the following words: "So interesting."
...
In the United States, within a vast complex outside Chigaton.
Cassel College Executive Minister: von Schneider and Cassel President: Hilbert Jean-Angers discuss the admissions of freshmen.
"He is excellent, isn't he?" Anger took a sip of tea, looked at the information about Chu Zihang in his hand, and said to Schneider, a man wearing a breathing mask in front of him, who had burns on his face.
"His adoptive father and biological mother are both ordinary people. We have no record of his biological father at all. We have not yet investigated the origin of his bloodline." Schneider said to the principal who looked like he was here to have afternoon tea instead of listening to the task report.
"Don't you have a plan?" Angers put down the information in his hand.
Schneider looked at Chu Zihang's photo on the table, "I have made arrangements for him. If he completes my exam and proves his excellence, I will bring him back in person and make him my student."
"It seems you care about him very much?" Anger smiled, "I wish you a successful successor."
At this time, a blond man in a black windbreaker knocked on the door and walked in. Reported to the two: "There is another person in that coastal city searching for information about Kassel on the Internet."
Schneider said in confusion: "It's the school season now, so it's not surprising that someone will have a desire for our school, right? Why do you need to report it separately?"
The man seemed to be frightened by Schneider's tone, glanced at the principal carefully and said, "Norma asked to submit the search record of this person to the principal." He handed over the documents in his hand.
Angers took the document and looked surprised when he saw the document.
"It seems you're going to have a trip myself." Angers handed the information to Schneider.
