The wind blew through the warm campus, blowing on the three or two students who were walking on the khaki-paved road.
Quietness and vitality coexist here, with an academic atmosphere that is not polluted by the tense political activities outside the campus.
Beautiful piano music rippled out from the red building next to it. It was an old building made of red bricks, with a classical style of Bain people in the Western Continent.
The climbing plants embraced it with the sunshine, and the fragrance of the leaves was absorbed into the respiratory tract, making Victor feel relaxed and happy.
Although it is a public university, Saiguo has spared no effort in investing in this college.
Even from a global perspective, San Francisco University's research on history and culture is beyond the reach of other universities.
The reason why I came here was to meet Li Anlong and tell him what was going to happen recently.
Although William did not arrange for Rianlong to participate, Victor would not care too much and would seek maximum assistance.
The bell of the college church rang, and many energetic students walked out of the red building.
After everyone had almost left, the red-haired young man they were waiting for slowly appeared.
The other party is wearing a brown-red short cloak today, with a white collar inside. He should be wearing a shirt, and a pair of black trousers underneath, which makes his legs very slender.
Her long red hair was tied into a ponytail, and her glasses hung on her face, making her look even more elegant.
"You two have been waiting for a long time..."
He was still so polite, calm when things happened, and his mood remained permanently calm, even when he heard Victor asking him to help with the investigation.
"I have not received any orders from the Anti-Suppression Department, Mr. No. 99." Li Anlong said frankly. His complexion was much better, and he should have recovered in the past half month.
Victor knew that this was a reason for the other party to refuse, but he did not force it.
"Of course, I'm just asking for your help from my own standpoint. Things may develop in a direction we don't want to see. If the President is really assassinated, the entire country will fall into turmoil, and your and my peaceful life will be in turmoil.
It will be terminated.”
"Indeed, please wait a moment..." Li Anlong took out a gold chain from the book he was carrying, with a small blue crystal connected to the end.
Pendulum?
Victor raised his eyebrows. Of course he had seen this kind of prop, which was specially used by diviners.
Rianlong relied on the pendulum to judge the quality of the president's assassination, but he did not read out the question and kept the question in his heart, but gave an answer that satisfied Victor.
"When the time is right, I will assist you, Mr. No. 99. The results of the divination are guiding me to prevent the assassination."
very good!
Victor and Tony left the academy with satisfaction and rushed back to the Inspection Bureau.
To be honest, another reason why he came to see Li Anlong was because he was a little bored in Sanflang.
The White Crown is slowing down the progress of the investigation, and they have to wait until Stanford comes back before they can open the door. And the clues left by Mr. Doubt have been cut off, and Victor can't find anyone who can take over Abigail's goods.
Fortunately, good news finally came today - Stanford Vandersel is back!
Tony and Victor immediately set off for the White Crown and asked to meet each other again.
This is the second time I have met the security chief of the presidential palace.
The impression he gave on Victor was completely different from Tony.
The other person has sharp eyes, a dignified manner, a serious manner, and looks like a tough guy.
Recalling that he had competed with William for the position of Minister of Defense and Suppression, Victor had a rough idea of this man's character.
This time, the place they entered was the Ebony Tower among the six White Crown Towers.
Its appearance is like ebony wood, so black and shiny...
It is said that the Ebony Tower is the headquarters of the White Crown in charge of national security, and its security department is also inside.
They were introduced into Stanford's office. The other person had not yet taken off his uniform and was staring at a black map hanging on the wall with his hands crossed.
Victor went in without knocking, which shocked Tony.
But the former ignored it because he was tired of waiting.
"We are here to see you, Mr. Stanford."
After saying that, without waiting for the other party's consent, he directly pulled up a stool and sat down.
Tony's face turned pale and he was already cursing in his heart.
You clearly know that the other party doesn't like the Anti-Suppression Department and the Inspection Bureau, but you are still so rude and deliberately provoke the other party?
However, what Victor was thinking was: Anyway, the relationship between the Defense Department and Stanford was almost irreconcilable, so why did they pretend to be a grandson to support him? Why not just open up and quarrel when it was time to quarrel, at least he could just sit back and quarrel.
It's not like standing around and making noise.
The man turned around and looked at Victor with a frown, his eyes completely ignoring Tony Carlos next to him.
"Have we met?" He actually forgot about Victor.
"That's right, we met once when we came to Chaglen last time." After Victor finished speaking, he pointed at Tony, "Tony Carlos from Sanfran Branch, you should be old acquaintances."
Stanford raised his face and stared at Tony, and let out a sound of disdain: "If such an incompetent person can climb to the position of branch chief, how rotten has the Inspection Bureau become?"
Faced with this kind of irony, Tony forced a smile and said that he was used to it.
He didn't expect Tony to be so afraid of Stanford, and Victor was a little surprised.
The other party is just a seer from the Third Secret Passage. It’s not like Victor has never fought against a seer from the Third Secret Passage...
"As for you..." Stanford narrowed his eyes and looked at Victor, "I'm thinking about killing a minister's assistant. Will William come to fight with me?"
After he finished speaking, Victor instantly felt a chill. He realized that the chill came from Stanford's eyes staring at him, so he couldn't help but look at him.
But at this glance, he saw that Stanford's face was deformed, his mouth was elongated, his ears were erect, and then the coldness from his eyes became more solid, and finally froze Victor's whole body like ice!
He found that he couldn't move and was trapped in the chair. He couldn't even open his mouth to speak. Only his eyes were still reading the scene in front of him.
A transparent shadow suddenly appeared on Stanford's body. The shadow floated above Stanford's head like a ghost, and Stanford himself closed his eyes.
The shadow has the outline of a human, but the image is a skeleton wearing a cloak...
It floated in front of Victor, stretched out its finger forward, and pointed at a spot one-third of a meter away from Victor's eyebrows.
"In the next second, I can kill your soul."
The chill seemed to condense on the other person's fingertips, which made Victor realize that this guy was not lying.
I originally thought it was just a quarrel, but in the end he actually had murderous intentions?
In a critical situation, Tony suddenly interrupted: "William Marshall is now the Knower. You heard me right. He is the legendary Knower who almost no longer exists!"
"If you kill William's assistant, he might really come to trouble you..."
After hearing this, the lich-like shadow stopped pointing at Victor's finger.
Then, the ghost returned to Stanford's body, and he opened his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him with contempt.
