Magic!

The cold evening breeze was rustling, and the birds were chirping.

Russell walked quickly towards the back door of the college where he had made an appointment with the professor.

It was approaching midnight, and there were very few people on the road.

As he walked, Russell vaguely had a strange illusion——

Today's walk along the same college path seemed longer than usual.

Soon, Russell came downstairs to the astrological platform next to the back door of the college.

This is the meeting place agreed with Professor Opal.

"Russell, you are finally here."

Professor Opal, who was wearing a brown casual shirt and jeans, smiled broadly when he saw Russell.

"Hello, Professor." Russell greeted the professor whom he liked enthusiastically.

"I have handed over Dr. Beak to the International Supernatural Police. Let me briefly talk about the information I obtained before the criminal was handed over..." Opal stepped forward.

"I deliberately set up a series of dreams with different scenes, and let Dr. Birdbill experience these scenes respectively in his dreams. Combining the information obtained from hypnosis and mind reading, I finally learned the techniques and principles of constructing this mysterious disease. I will All this occult knowledge has been recorded, and it will definitely be helpful to you in developing medicines."

As he spoke, Professor Opal took out a small, palm-sized notebook from his coat pocket and handed it to Russell.

Russell briefly looked through the small book and found that it contained many arcane formulas and symbols, as well as a large amount of text analysis.

Combining his occult knowledge of necromancy and life, he judged at a glance that this was indeed the relevant knowledge to construct this occult plague, and it was of great value.

"I will try my best to study this knowledge thoroughly during this period, and see if I can combine it with my mutant talent to find a new treatment direction." Russell closed the book, put it in his pocket, and asked, "This document is for Are you at the school hospital?"

Russell almost forgot that he was just a weak and ordinary second-year student. This kind of thing should be the job of the school hospital!

However, in the face of this mysterious disease, the miracle doctor Russell performed better than the school hospital. Both students and teachers had high expectations for him.

"Of course, there are several copies of this document." Opal nodded, "I also gave it to Professor Black Amber and several students from the Department of Necromancer and Life and the Department of Transformation and Transformation in the Institute of Higher Education, so that they could also Help with research."

With that said, Professor Opal turned the topic back to Doctor Beak:

"I have also found out Dr. Beak's criminal motive. For this purpose, I also retrieved his files from when he was a student at the academy more than ten years ago.

"The family he was born into was an influential witchcraft family in Western Europe many years ago and had a fixed seat in the World Supernatural Parliament..."

The wind chime appeared from behind Russell like a ghost and interrupted:

"World Occult Parliament? What kind of organization is this?"

Russell shrugged:

"It's the 'relevant department' of the otherworldly world, just like the Ministry of Magic in Harry Potter."

Many witchcraft families and secret societies in the supernatural world have their own seats in the Council. According to Subway, there are people in the Subway family who are responsible for representing the family and serving as members of parliament, but they basically do nothing.

"Has this organization appeared in previous plots?" Feng Ling tried to think back for a while and found that he couldn't remember anything.

"I mentioned it, it doesn't exist." Russell answered patiently.

Opal continued:

"Unfortunately, as the family passes on from generation to generation, the power of witchcraft seems to be losing, and each generation has fewer and fewer children who can spiritually awaken and become extraordinary beings. By the time of Dr. Bird's Beak's parents' generation, the family already has an extraordinary person. None.

"Doctor Beak himself was an accident. Even though his parents had no supernatural talents, he actually had a successful spiritual awakening and became the only supernatural person in his family.

"This kind of thing is not uncommon in the supernatural world. Not all extraordinary people's talents can be passed on to their descendants. There are also some children who have never had extraordinary people in their ancestors and have unexpected spiritual awakenings. It's like throwing dice. No one can tell. .This always results in new families replacing the old ones and becoming part of the supernatural world.

“Long before Doctor Beak became a supernatural being, his declining family had been expelled from the World Supernatural Parliament and had to leave the supernatural world.

"He was saddened by the decline of his family. He himself had excellent talents, but they were not enough to restore the entire family to its former glory. This boy named Youshil entered school with this mentality. When he entered the academy, he had a new name - 'Doctor Beak'.

"These experiences left a shadow in Dr. Beak's mind, making him gradually hostile to the entire supernatural world. This also became an opportunity for him to later embark on a criminal path.

“As early as more than ten years ago, when he was still studying in the academy, he had a similar idea.

"Doctor Beak once asked when joking, what would happen if all extraordinary beings, including himself, lost their power overnight and turned back into ordinary people?"

After Russell patiently listened to Opal's long story, he frowned slightly and made a brief comment:

"That's it?"

It doesn’t look like there is any grudge!

Could it be that because he learned about the necromancy and life system, he gradually turned dark and corrupted and embarked on the road of revenge against society?

Is this major really so evil?

"Furthermore, can Dr. Beak, a third-year expert with dual majors and a fountain of weeping, really be able to create a strange plague that leaves the school helpless?" Russell raised another doubt.

Opal nodded thoughtfully:

"This is also the question that puzzled me after interpreting his memory. In my opinion, he still lacks the motive to create an occult plague.

"Furthermore, I also specially retrieved the written materials from that year. I am very convinced that even if Doctor Beak did have some dark thoughts back then, he changed his mind before leaving school and did not intend to put those horrific thoughts into practice.

"I spent a lot of time digging through his memory fragments and finally discovered the problem."

"What's the problem?" Russell asked quickly.

"His memory may have been tampered with!" Professor Opal said.

The memory has been tampered with!

This conjecture made Feng Chime exclaim in surprise.

Russell thought about many philosophical questions, such as "Is a person still himself after all his memories become another person?"

"There are some unnatural traces in Dr. Bird's Beak's memory and knowledge. It's as if someone has deleted part of his memory, adjusted the order of his thinking logic, amplified some of his original obsessions that had been abandoned, and added some of his original It’s cutting-edge occult knowledge that I shouldn’t know, but seems to come to my mind out of nowhere,” Professor Opal explained.

"Frontier knowledge of occult science?" Feng Ling felt that he could understand each paragraph of this term, but he couldn't understand it when put together.

Russell explained calmly:

“Occult science must also keep pace with the times.

“Since there is a frontier of chemistry, a frontier of physics, and of course there is a frontier of occult science.

"Almost all college teachers, students in colleges and universities, and some second-year students in junior colleges who are good at academic research will publish their research results in occult journals. The recent hot topics in academic circles are extrasensory perception, reiki therapy, and subconscious mind and dreams, numerology and digital, aliens and UFOs.

“Didn’t you see it when I downloaded journals such as Spiritual Masters and Sects, Dark Arts and Witchcraft, and Ghostology?”

The wind chime was shocked:

"What? So those are periodicals? I thought they were some third-rate magazines! I probably didn't have these things when I was alive."

After patiently waiting for Russell to finish arguing with his contract ghost, Opal was finally able to change the topic back:

“It was by using many cutting-edge research results in the occult world that Doctor Beak successfully created the occult plague.

"And from now on, it seems that part of the knowledge must have been artificially instilled by the manipulator behind the scenes who modified the memory. The manipulator behind the scenes may even have provided secret help in the process of creating the disease, but Dr. Birdbill himself has not done so. aware."

Sure enough, there is a manipulator behind the scenes! Russell nodded slightly, realizing that the problem was getting more serious.

"Professor, when you transferred the prisoners, did you inform the International Supernatural Police about the possible modification of Doctor Beak's memory and personality?" Russell asked.

Professor Opal nodded: "Of course. As for how to judge, I don't know."

Russell felt that the topic of "people whose memories have been modified commit crimes" was so widespread that he couldn't finish it in three days and three nights, so he asked instead:

"Who might be the mastermind behind this? Are there any clues in Doctor Beak's memory?"

Opal’s face, which always had a smile on her face, is now as serious as ice:

"Yes, I already know the identity of the mastermind behind this."

"Who is it?" Russell asked hurriedly.

"In addition to Mr. Principal, there is another fifth-year student in the history of the college, the Thorn Bird!"
