The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

Therefore, it couldn't be someone she knew from that era. Athena certainly wouldn't say that, because she would want to kill all her brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts, and she definitely wouldn't say "my people."

"Do you have some time lately?" My mom's voice came through the phone.

“Yes,” Xue Dinglu said.

"Then why don't you go to Greece?"

Xue's Law: "?"

Why would you go to Greece for no reason?

It's not a parallel world, but Greece in the main world. Xue Law is a little afraid to go there, purely because he has a psychological trauma from breeding Zeus before.

"You'll find out when you get there," Earth's consciousness said directly.

"Well... okay..." Xue Dinglu stopped arguing.

It's just a trip to Greece, probably related to what the 10th Apostle brought. Xue Lude thought about it and realized that he could easily teleport to Greece now; he just needed to find the corresponding coordinates in the background.

As for his mother's statement that he would know what to do once he got there, although he was very dissatisfied with the Riddler's behavior, he had a rough idea of ​​what it was: it was just a mess left over from the Age of Gods.

It's highly likely that it's still a trap dug by the gods of the Age of Gods, and Xue Law is just going to deal with it now.

If Schrödinger's Law doesn't handle it, then the Starfleet might need to help. Other worlds would find this kind of mess very troublesome, but at least on Earth, Schrödinger's Law can handle everything.

Not to mention the mess left by the Age of Gods, even the Schrödinger's law of Gatanothor's resurrection could knock it out.

Thinking of this, Xue Dinglu said, "I'll rest today and go to Greece tomorrow. Tomorrow is Saturday, after all."

"Whatever..." Earth's consciousness no longer cares about Xue's Law; perhaps it has started flooding the chat again.

Xue Luding glanced at the group chat and saw that it had already been updated. He didn't care about the 99+ messages, and if he wanted to scroll back now, it would probably take forever. He had no idea that these world consciousnesses could chat for so long and talk about so many things.

He had always thought that the world consciousness was the kind of thing that didn't have much emotion, like the initial symptoms of being affected by nothingness. But now it seems that they do have their own emotions, but this kind of complex problem is beyond Xue's ability to understand.

Just like in mythology, the dove can also get so angry that it sets fires and floods.

Xue Dinglu then stopped thinking about it.

After taking a nap, Xue Dinglu quietly got up the next morning.

The house was very quiet today. There was no noisy Little Dragon Girl, nor any aroma coming from the kitchen. Xue Dinglu knew that they must still be visiting the guesthouse in Baiyin Kingdom.

After thinking about it, I decided to go to school today and visit the guesthouse later when I have some free time.

As I rode my bicycle to school and silently walked to the medical school building, I suddenly found it very deserted.

Something's not right, nine out of ten things are wrong...

Today is Friday. Recently, Xue Dinglu has been memorizing the Friday schedule. Basically, the morning is for Ideological and Moral Cultivation and First Aid, and the afternoon is for Physical Fitness and Clinical Medicine.

Now, it's almost 8 o'clock, and the entire medical department is deserted...

not right...

Xue Dinglu went to check each classroom, but there was no one there, which made him feel even more uneasy.

"Student Xue Dinglu?" a familiar face suddenly said.

It was the senior student counselor. She was holding a large stack of test papers and asked with a puzzled look, "Are you here to study?"

Xue's Law: "?"

Seeing Xue Dinglu's clear yet foolish eyes, she seemed to remember something and said, "You might be busy filming and didn't see the news. Today is a holiday because there was a problem with the school facilities. Classes will be rescheduled for next weekend."

Xue's Law: "?"

Wow, so it's a holiday today?

He even stupidly came to class; no wonder the whole school is deserted.

Xue Dinglu asked in confusion, "What happened?"

It couldn't be that someone died, could it?

"It's nothing, it's nothing..." The counselor remained silent, which only made Lao Xue more suspicious.

Xue Dinglu had no intention of making things difficult for the senior student, and left in a hurry.

He has his own intelligence network at the school, which consists of the gatekeepers. Many of these gatekeepers have known Xue Lude since he was a child. The female counselor is very tight-lipped, but the gatekeepers may not be.

Soon, Xue Dinglu arrived at the school gate, bought a bag of melon seeds and Huangshan cigarettes, handed one to Grandpa Li, who was eating breakfast at the gate, helped him light it, and asked him a question.

"I just got back from filming, I didn't even know school was on holiday." Xue Dinglu doesn't smoke, he held a handful of sunflower seeds and looked at the sky with a melancholy expression in the guardhouse.

"I thought you came to the library to study, but I didn't expect you to know nothing!" Grandpa Li took a deep drag on his Huangshan cigarette. "Huangshan cigarettes don't taste good anymore, we've all switched to Yellow Crane Tower."

Xue's Law: "..."

He could only smile and offer her another cigarette, saying, "Uncle Li, what happened at school? What's going on?"

The old man smiled and quietly leaned closer, saying, "Yesterday, they pulled a person out of the school's reservoir!"

Xue's Law: "..."

Grandpa Li laughed, and said in an even stranger tone, "Nobody expected how long this person had been soaking in the reservoir, especially since this reservoir basically supplies water to most of the children... Do you know what's the strangest thing?"

"What is it?" Xue Dinglu immediately chimed in, playing the straight man.

"The school was thoroughly checked yesterday, and not a single person is missing! No one is missing, but there's an extra person in the reservoir. Hey, that's strange."

"Did the officer find out who it was?" Xue Dinglu also became curious. At first, he thought it might be another murder. There are quite a few murders in schools, especially now that it's time for postgraduate entrance exams and civil service exams. The senior students are under a lot of pressure, so it's not surprising that they might do something.

"That's the strangest part. The body they pulled out wasn't recorded at the police station, there were no recent missing persons reports, and we can't even find out where they were from. It's like they just appeared out of thin air at the school." Grandpa Li moved even closer and said in an even softer voice, "And there's something even stranger!"

"The surveillance cameras in that water room weren't broken. The police station sent people overnight to check three months of surveillance footage, and no one who went in never came out. The body really seemed to appear out of thin air in the reservoir. Isn't that eerie? Even the principal, that old man who can attend events at the United Nations, was planning to have a monk come and take a look," Grandpa Li said with a smile.

These people were all retired soldiers, so naturally they didn't believe in this, but they didn't expect the principal to be so frightened.

Xue's curiosity was piqued. How could a corpse appear out of thin air? He really needed to take a good look. Magic should be completely extinct on Blue Star by now. It couldn't possibly have been done by Fafnir or Old Watson, could it?

Or perhaps, there are other rats lurking in the shadows?

Chapter 413 The Female Corpse from Another World

Hey, he's only been gone a few days, and his fellow villagers have already found him another job, this time right at their own school.

However, he still needed to confirm it.

"Hey Old Li, you're not lying to me, are you? This is USTC, who would believe in this kind of stuff here? You didn't see this in some ghost story, did you?" Xue Dinglu used reverse psychology.

"Sigh, I also thought it was fake, but I spent the whole night with the people from the bureau looking at it, and we didn't see anything wrong with it..." Grandpa Li took a deep drag on his cigarette and stubbed it out in the ashtray.

"Kid, let me tell you, before I retired, I was training in that remote area behind the mountains. I heard it was really bad, everyone was terrified, you know what happened?" Old Li chuckled, lighting another cigarette.

"The next day, we applied for a batch of goods to be stored in the warehouse. It was said to have been made decades ago. That night, the entire back mountain was bombed, and five large truckloads of goods were blown up. When we went to inspect the back mountain after dawn, there was nothing there. I guess all the earthworms were dead. The ghost story was completely debunked."

He took another drag of his cigarette and said, "I have no reason to lie to you. That thing is really weird; anyone who looks at it will be confused."

"Is it possible that a segment of the surveillance footage was deleted?" Xue Dinglu asked, cracking sunflower seeds as he shared his thoughts.

According to the surveillance cameras, if you carry a body through a blind spot, you can get it to the washroom, close the door, and then avoid another blind spot in the washroom. If you're fast, it should take less than 10 seconds.

Under the pressure of reviewing surveillance footage for three consecutive months, would it be discovered if a 10-second deletion or edit was made in the video?

Old Li was displeased and seemed to laugh and scold, "If you don't believe me, you should at least believe the people in the bureau, right? That night, two young men bought a whole case of Red Bull and stayed with me all night. They finished all the Red Bull. One of them was a young man who graduated from our school with a degree in computer science. He was your senior. I'm blind, but it's impossible for three of us to be blind, right?"

Xue's Law: "..."

It's confirmed that a paranormal event did occur at the school. This led to the school giving up the day off yesterday under some pretext. Today, they're probably checking with the authorities to find out what happened and why a corpse could inexplicably end up in the washroom.

It's impossible for someone to fall into the upstream water plant and then, by bad luck, end up in the water room, right? That doesn't make sense either, there are filters. If a body were stuck in the filter opening, it would be discovered very quickly.

This matter could even have extremely negative consequences if handled poorly. The school has two water facilities: one large water facility built on the mountain, which supplies about 80% of the canteen, dormitory, and teaching building areas; and another water facility built on the mountainside, which supplies a small number of dormitories, teaching buildings, and shops at the foot of the mountain.

A corpse has been soaking in the washroom for who knows how long; it's possible that everyone in the entire school has consumed a great deal of the corpse's fluids...

If this situation were reported, the principal, who was originally able to attend events at the United Nations, would probably suffer cardiac arrest. The impact would be no less than if all the teachers and students in the school were poisoned by lead.

"By the way, how did the autopsy go? They should be able to find out how long the person has been dead, right?" Xue Dinglu continued to press.

"I don't know. The bureau came to handle it immediately after the incident and took the school worker from the water room away for questioning. There's still no news. I watched the surveillance footage all night last night, until 7 a.m. when it ended." Old Li didn't know anything else and gave Xue a helpless look.

Although they had a good relationship, especially since Xue was a kid he had known since elementary school who often came to play at school, he only revealed some information to him, and he didn't really know much else.

Xue Lude was curious. What kind of corpse could make the bureau so vigilant? And this corpse should have appeared in the few days since Xue Lude left Earth. If it had been during the days Xue Lude was at school, he probably would have noticed something was wrong when he washed his hands, instead of waiting until now.

After all, cursed blood is extremely sensitive to such things.

Now, this corpse does seem to have some issues, and it might even be some kind of supernatural phenomenon.

However, on this Earth where magic is absolutely forbidden, only a very small number of people can use magic, and even then, they can only use it briefly with Xue's permission...

If it really is due to magical influence, then Xue's Law is definitely in charge of this matter.

"Alright, I've bought breakfast too, Lao Li, let's switch shifts!" Another old man's voice came from outside the door. Lao Li chuckled as he finished his last cigarette and said, "I'm off, I'm off. There's not even water at school today. Let the police handle this. I'm going home now."

After saying that, the old man hurriedly left work. The other old man, Xue Dinglu, was also very familiar with the matter, but Grandpa Sun was not familiar with the school and could not provide Xue Dinglu with much information.

"Then I'll go home first, consider it a walk." Xue Luding handed half a bag of Huangshan tea to Grandpa Sun and left the security room.

Xue immediately logged into his mother's account to see what was going on.

Narrowing the scope down to the water room at USTC was difficult for Xue, but not a big problem. He was like someone with a god-like perspective, dragging the progress bar until something appeared in the water room.

I quickly reviewed the previous records starting yesterday afternoon when the body was discovered by the school janitor.

The body remained in the washroom all day yesterday...

The day before yesterday, the body was in the washroom all day...

Until the day before yesterday, Xue discovered an anomaly.

There's a very strange record here; it just shows a question mark (?) appearing in the washroom, and then nothing else.

Even the Earth's backers don't know the details of this thing.

It was like suddenly appearing in the washroom and then disappearing...

Xue's Law: "..."

Sure enough, it was a supernatural event. He followed this record and found another record, namely the portal record.

Did the body arrive at the water room through a portal and then drown there?

Or perhaps it was just a corpse that came?
