Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 14 Exploration
A beautiful girl with impeccable manners walked in, dressed in a classic maid outfit, carrying a tray.

"Sir, the materials you requested have arrived."

Without changing his expression, the young man met the maid's gaze and opened the black metal box on the tray. Inside were more than a dozen glass test tubes filled with blue liquid.

"Pour the blood essence onto the base of the flower, be careful, make sure it's even. This is imported mermaid blood, one serving costs 20 gold sea dragons."

After saying this, the young man put on his clothes and went into the adjacent room.

Unlike before, this room offers a perfect view of the sunset. The thin twilight obscures the last rays of the sunset, plunging the room into darkness.

Light shone from the ceiling.

"The stars are all in their rightful places... Tonight, I will question fate once more." He held a book in his hand, its leather cover adorned with an image of a human eye and a mysterious black stone tower. Nearby lay a lake, its surface reflecting the stars.

"Ancestors, grant me the power to see through the fog of fate," the young man murmured, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes. With a single glance, the night sky seemed to change.

It began to sway like shattered glass, spinning like a kaleidoscope.

The normal starry sky had changed, revealing a unique appearance in his eyes.

They gazed up at the scene with rapt attention.

No matter how many times they watch it, the young people are always deeply moved.

"The power of our ancestors is truly incredible; they could even conceal the starry sky... Is the starry sky that people see real or fake?"

He still hasn't figured out the answer to this question.

"As long as I can thoroughly understand this book and master the mysteries of the stars, I won't have to go through all this trouble every time."

He spoke in a dreamlike, blissful tone.

In the sky, the stars were exceptionally bright, each casting its own rays.

"Ancient wisdom, a true vision that sees through the fog of the future—activate." He said emotionlessly, pointing one finger into the air.

At the same time, he raised the book in his right hand.

Golden symbols, marks, and patterns appeared on the wall beneath my feet.

A ring of light appeared beneath my feet.

"Yes, that's it, a bright and great future!" the young man murmured, gazing in rapture at the light stretching out into the future.

"what?"

Suddenly, something changed... A shadow appeared in the sky, obscuring the starlight.

Several stars twinkled before gradually going out.

Then, the entire circular array gradually went out and returned to darkness.

"who is it?"

"Who disrupted the ceremony?"

Who has stood in my way?

In a fit of rage, the young man blurted out. Inside the room, the night sky returned to normal, with no more stars.

The young man blushed and remained lost in thought for a long time.

"The ritual has changed, but it still reveals the future, only a vague omen; further analysis is needed." Calming down, the young man opened the ancient book to examine the divination he had just witnessed.

"...The appearance of haze, obscuring the starlight, and then plunging into darkness, indicates that subtle signs have already begun to emerge. If this continues, the future will be very ominous, with the possibility of upheaval."

As the young man was pondering this, the maid returned from watering the flowers. Upon seeing him, her voice trembled, "Master, Master, your shoulder..."

He was immediately alarmed to find that the skin on his shoulder was dry and cracked, peeling off in pieces, and blood was spurting from the wound.

"Go and investigate all the recent events, big and small, especially those concerning us."

"No matter how small, don't let it slip by!"

"Yes!"

The maid's shawl fluttered in the wind, then returned to silence.

St. Francis School

On the clean wooden desk, a bunch of black roses still sits in a white porcelain vase.

The girl rested her chin on her hand, gazing at this direction.

"How are the preparations going?" she asked softly as Su Yu sat down.

"It's okay, you know my grades, they shouldn't be a problem," Su Yu said. "Besides, I studied during the holidays." It was a lie, but also the truth.

Qiaoqiao felt a little relieved. At this moment, the classroom gradually filled up with people, and whispers were happening all over the classroom. Many people looked over, and the girl stopped talking.

Su Yu casually picked up a book to review, pretending nothing was wrong, but actually looked at the system. In the image, the gray figure had already stopped.

"It ended after 3 hours yesterday!"

Looking at the gray crystal, Su Yu shook his head: "This kind of common knowledge doesn't seem to consume much energy. Wu Lang is very weak, but it still doesn't seem to consume much energy."

Despite saying that, he didn't hesitate and nodded again. One of the gray figures split off, picked up the book again, and turned the pages one by one, reading intently.

Meanwhile, in the golden hourglass image, the gray crystals slowly decrease at the bottom.

Su Yu's gaze fell on the textbooks on the desk, and he pondered for a long time.

"Clang..."

"We killed this person yesterday. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be many traces. I just wonder if there are any mystical investigative methods?"

"No, it's not that bad!"

After carefully searching his memory, Su Yu shook his head. In a world rife with murders, Wu Lang was not important, and probably no one would investigate him specifically.

Su Yu's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the special skills.

【Night Watch Gymnastics (62%)】

Basic Meditation (55%)

"They've even changed the name of the aerobics routine!"

Focusing my mind on meditation, a tiny upward arrow appeared behind me, but unfortunately, there were no more gray crystals below.

Suddenly, the noise in the classroom stopped.

Su Yu snapped out of his reverie, breaking free from the illusion of the courtyard, and saw a beautiful female teacher walking quickly to the podium.

"Alright, the new semester has started. Students, please hand in your homework. Your teacher asked me to collect it in advance."

With a loud bang, several wails suddenly rang out in the classroom.

It turned out to be a few students catching up on their homework.

"If you don't finish, you don't need to hand it in; it will be considered a failed test."

This time, they were truly ashen-faced.

When collecting homework, the female teacher passed by Su Yu and glanced at her.

"Your homework is quite good."

In reality, her gaze wasn't even on the workbook.

A faint scent, like mint, permeated her surroundings.

The black-haired girl sitting next to me seemed to notice and kept looking in our direction.

The female teacher casually flipped through the exercise book, and then, she actually took a few more glances at it, nodding and asking a casual question.

I heard your family isn't very well-off?

"um, yes."

The news spread very quickly, Su Yu thought, somewhat disbelieving.

"You can try harder. In this exam, the top ten will have their tuition and fees waived, and the top three will receive scholarships." After she said this, the mysterious aura she exuded instantly dissipated.

Su Yuxin's heart skipped a beat, and she understood.

This is me looking at myself...

After collecting all the holiday homework, the female teacher walked straight out the door.

After walking only a few steps, several teachers, both male and female, were waiting, all with solemn expressions.

Several guards in bright green uniforms followed behind, their expressions even somewhat menacing, ready to strike at any moment.

"I didn't detect any new lingering resentment or a very subtle chill in him, but that's perfectly normal. There's radiation everywhere; he probably just picked it up by chance," she said simply.

"Oh!" Everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.
