My slow journey to infinity

Chapter 144 Returning to "normal" study life from unexpected events

To be honest, although the "Gray Pigeon Team" looked very professional, Wang Shui was not satisfied.

Dissatisfaction in various aspects.

First of all, the process of on-site evidence collection seems quite professional, but there is no dedicated "forensic" role in the entire team.

The open wounds on the deceased's body were very special and obvious.

Such a distinctive wound could easily become a clue, but they simply took a full-body photo, not even a close-up. At least Wang Shui didn't see them observing the wound.

Maybe they are familiar with such open bloody wounds?

Wang Shui did not jump to conclusions or think too much. He just had some doubts about the professionalism of the team.

Secondly, there are also some problems with their process of questioning passers-by.

They have obviously used "mental interference" abilities, whether it is lie detection or direct mind reading, regardless of whether it meets the requirements of the [Interstellar Security Law], they have definitely used it anyway.

But whether it was a compromise with the [Law] or a simple lack of ability, Wang Shui did not feel the power and coercion of this interference ability.

In other words, people with strong enough psychological qualities or complex enough thoughts can easily resist this kind of inquiry. This does not even require special extraordinary abilities.

The entire investigation process gave Wang Shui the feeling of dancing with shackles.

After a while, the vehicle transporting the body arrived.

Then the [Gel Prison] was lifted, and all the melon-eaters were released.

Sure enough, they found nothing.

After regaining his freedom, Wang Shui immediately opened the regional network social software - [Kill the Enemy First].

Sure enough, someone had already uploaded the incident.

Although the discussion was very heated, most students did not seem to care about the case or the deceased. They were more interested in the handsome photos of the "Gray Pigeon Team".

Wang Shui walked away slowly, stroking the toys in his coat pocket with his right hand. The small amount of case information mentioned by others gave him more clues.

16 people, it turned out that 16 people had died in this way.

However, only this time the victim was killed in the street. The previous fifteen all died in various private environments, but regardless of the environment and the length of time of the killing, the iconic open wounds were the same. of.

The "Grey Pigeon Team" has long since left, and the students who were previously suspected have also quickly dispersed. Compared with the heated discussion on the Internet, everyone in reality really doesn't want to face it in person.

The streets tend to become deserted again.

Where the body originally lay, a black metal cover was placed - which seemed to indicate that the matter was over.

An unnecessary disaster that only made this pedestrian street even narrower.

Most of the students who dispersed at the scene found a familiar entertainment venue nearby. Only Wang Shui slowly left this [wasteland area] after visiting a few shops.

Wang Shui stepped on the rented flying skateboard and flew into the stone monument at the gate of Millennium Academy at a not too fast speed.

It was getting late at night, and the time was neither early nor late. There were quite a few students coming in and out sporadically, but no one seemed to notice that outside the school gate, there was a young man wearing a handsome and conspicuous hunting suit, staring at the Millennium Academy in rapt attention. At the door, he stared at Wang Shui who was going away.

He is about 1.8 meters tall and has a relatively strong build. His long hunting windbreaker has many pockets and accessories, which is quite fancy and conspicuous.

However, he was standing on the street openly and openly, and his appearance should have attracted people to look at him twice, but it did not attract anyone's attention.

Yes, everyone ignored him, and a few people even walked directly towards him. When they passed by him, they even automatically avoided him.

The man in the trench coat watched Wang Shui disappear into the dense forest at night, and then looked thoughtfully at the stone tablet at the entrance of Millennium Academy.

Behind this stone monument, it looks like a park with dense vegetation, but in fact, people who do not have Millennium Academy status will be locked instantly as long as they cross the boundary of the stone monument.

After that, there will be arrests at various levels. If no reasonable explanation can be given, the trespassers will face a very troublesome investigation.

The man in the trench coat was sure that as long as he passed this stone monument, his stealth method would be ineffective.

This is the confidence that the school with the first comprehensive strength in the entire college district has.

The man in the trench coat left. Although he could never forget the sharp gaze, and although he really wanted to confirm whether he had been exposed, it was obvious now that there was really nothing he could do with the aqua regia.

A few seconds later, only students were left walking quietly at night on the street outside Millennium Academy.

The night wind blew, and in the shadow of the quietly swaying trees, Wang Shui walked out slowly. It turned out that he had not gone back.

Wang Shui stood on the side of the road, tilting his head and closing his eyes lightly, as if he was thinking about something, or as if he had fallen asleep standing up.

Now, the person standing at the school gate has become him. The students going in and out still pay no attention to him. It's just that when they are about to bump into him, they will automatically avoid it inexplicably.

【Psychological Invisibility】

Wang Shui gave this new ability a straightforward name, and this ability was just learned from the killer who was following him.

Wang Shui himself did not expect that his learning ability has reached this level. Maybe it is because this ability is simple, or maybe because his basic knowledge is rich enough, it is a matter of course.

Inexplicably, he has mastered a strange but powerful ability, but Wang Shui is not particularly happy. He seems to be targeted by a bold killer?

Aqua Regia took out his right hand from his coat pocket. On his fingertip was a light blue crystal coin with a metal jacket.

Yes, this is the self-developed alchemy item that Wang Shui once transformed based on [Light Silver Coin] and [Light Silver Mold], laboratory number [RNAM-A0079], referred to as [Trial Work A79].

That simple metal jacket is the mold.

Initially, Wang Shui named it "Emotional Coin". At that time, he just wanted to collect human emotions that escaped from the environment.

Because he feels that this energy may have strange effects. After all, negative energy is extremely lethal to social intelligent creatures and is of great research value.

But when he got busy later, his intermittent inspiration went astray. He turned the mold into a tool for collecting soul fragments, and lost the purification function of [Light Silver Mold].

Wang Shui did not rename the improved version of the mold, because he has many similar and powerful alchemy equipment, and almost all of these equipment have only one number.

Due to considerations such as raw material cost and technical sensitivity, Wang Shui has no intention of producing and selling these alchemy toys. Of course, this does not affect his own use.

So next to a newly deceased corpse, Aqua Regia almost subconsciously activated the miniature [Red Stone Array] on [Trial Work A79]. This improved array of "Philosopher's Stone Refining Array" quickly helped Wang Shui lock the newly released soul fragments in the surrounding space.

Then, Aqua Regia, who opened his soul energy vision, saw an abnormal energy accumulation phenomenon.

The continuously melting silver-gray soul fragments formed a human-shaped outline in the [Gel Prison] summoned by the patrolling students.

If one were not aware of the state of [invisibility], the sudden spiritual vision effect would still be quite scary.

And Wang Shui almost subconsciously determined that someone was invisible in the crowd.

Then, Wang Shui began to use various methods to analyze the other party's invisibility state. Not long after, after he adjusted his [attention], the other party's invisibility state immediately became invalid.

Of course, it only failed for him alone.

This unique invisibility method that interferes with vision and attention to make people aware of one's existence but ignores one's own is the first time Shui Wang has seen it.

It works really well, and the burden of maintaining invisibility is minimal.

After placing a spatial beacon on the opponent, Wang Shui conducted various other hidden tests on the killer. As a result, the opponent's perception was relatively high, and his physical fitness and various reactions were only around the second level.

Oh, not only his perception, this guy is also very courageous. He actually dared to follow Wang Shui all the way just because of his sense of observation.

Wang Shui had many opportunities to strike first, but he really didn't want to get involved-this kind of large-scale assassination on the street, there are many stories without thinking about it, but Wang Shui was not curious about it.

The inexplicably bold killer retreated because of the Millennium Academy's security system, but Wang Shui's appearance as [Benjamin M. Russell] should have been recorded.

Aqua Regia can foresee some possibilities——

In the first case, the other party no longer takes action. Whether they have information about the Russell family and choose to retreat, or they don't care about the existence of Wang Shui, an ordinary student, the matter can just be over.

Wang Shui will not take the initiative to seek justice. After all, this matter has nothing to do with him.

The second situation is that the other party, regardless of intelligence issues and Wang Shui's identity, insists on eliminating hidden dangers and comes to visit him again. Then Wang Shui will not think much about it. Even in public, he will directly strike first. Strong, and then as Russell, go and inform the [Qianyuan Board of Directors].

If the board of directors doesn't care or wants to cause trouble for Wang Shui, then Wang Shui will contact the Russell family.

Although Wang Shui would not take the initiative to apply for extra help from his boss, that was because he did not want to take up too much of the family's resources without producing any output.

If it really was a matter of life and death, or something particularly troublesome, he wouldn't be polite.

After diverging his thoughts for a while, Wang Shui shook his head in the quiet night wind. If he was the protagonist in some entertainment works, he would have probably solved the killer on the way back.

As for how many troubles will be involved in the future, they are all part of the protagonist's legendary adventure. Under the circumstances, there will be an infinitely wonderful life.

But the reality was not like that. He didn't want to think about fighting and killing every day.

The time every day is fixed, and Wang Shui's energy is even more limited. He cannot do various things infinitely.

Therefore, Wang Shui did not want to waste time and get involved in an incident that was completely unfamiliar to him. He was here to go to school.

At least starting from tomorrow, Wang Shui's class schedule will be quite fulfilling.

It's just that the teaching speed here is indeed too slow for Wang Shui.

Wang Shui can only take one class and take care of two or three related extension courses at the same time to make him feel strenuous.

There were many things that needed to be thought about and planned. Wang Shui did not teleport back to the dormitory. Now, he likes to walk in the refreshing night breeze, which is more helpful for his thinking.

After returning to the dormitory, Wang Shui went back to his study room, where he wanted to put the things he purchased today.

After that, it is necessary to rest, and his alchemy body also needs rest.

A night of silence.

The next day was also the second day when Wang Shui officially entered the fourth grade at [Millennium Academy]. He quickly entered the status of a student and began an extremely intense and boring study life.

However, for Wang Shui, the sense of accomplishment and pleasure of learning more and becoming more proficient will not make him feel bored.

No, for anyone, if they can obtain and understand knowledge freely, this kind of advanced enjoyment is far beyond ordinary entertainment.

But gradually, Shui Wang, who had no need for social interaction, became famous on the social platform [Destroy the Enemy First] inexplicably.

At first, other students were only slightly concerned about the existence of Aqua Regia, because not many students like to use paper notes and books.

But after a small amount of discussion, students with very different class schedules soon discovered Wang Shui's terrifying curriculum plan——

Not only is his schedule full of courses and experiments every day, but the span between these courses is also quite large.

Generally speaking, students are free to plan their learning system, but there are rules to follow.

For example, the very popular [Basics of Alchemy] will have an extended course [Alchemy Array System], as well as the relatively new [Array Mechanics].

This is a complete progressive system, and many students choose courses this way.

But after Wang Shui chose this system, he also took into account deeper derivative disciplines such as [Advanced Alchemy·Preparation Science], [Advanced Alchemy·Material Science], etc. His system construction of alchemy is comprehensive and comprehensive. Spread horizontally.

The most terrifying thing is that he is not just learning alchemy-related knowledge!

Also spread are [Botany], [Energy], [Traditional and Modern Magic Systems], [Religious Mysteries] and [Extraordinary Digital Network], etc.

One person studied more than half of the entire university's courses at the same time. Not only the students were shocked, the teachers also began to pay attention to Wang Shui's situation.

As a result, they discovered that although Wang Shui could not appear in all classes at the same time due to time conflicts, he still ensured the attendance rate of each course to the maximum extent and the astonishing completion rate of coursework.

With the guarantee of coursework quality and "Professor Enfield", Wang Shui also obtained partial permission for absence. As long as his grades were good enough, most teachers would not deduct his credits.

Millennium Academy has exams, but there is only one final exam.

So currently, Wang Shui does not have any actual results to show his strong learning ability, but his learning attitude and ability are indeed recognized by all teachers.

As for those classmates?

They don't know Shui Wang. On social software, the most common saying is that classmate Benjamin is trying it out.

Try to learn as much knowledge as possible and then choose the direction that suits you best. This is not uncommon. From fourth grade to sixth grade, it is a process of continuous specialization and professionalization of the knowledge system. Many students will choose excessive courses. , to find something that suits you.

It's just that the excessive amount of aqua regia is a bit exaggerated.

This explanation is indeed a bit reasonable, but it does not affect the ordinary students' worship of Wang Shui. Oh no, the students in Millennium Academy are already quite outstanding.

Although it was just a trial study, it was also a real class, and the massive amount of homework and experiments was indeed a bit scary.

This level of learning is quite arduous for Aqua Regia and [The Master].

Therefore, Wang Shui changed the distribution of computing power.

He increased the thinking power of his alchemy clone from about 10% to about 70%, and then left 25% to continue practicing and slowly improve his physique.

The remaining 5% or so of computing power is the buffer space he has reserved for redundant calculations. It is also the computing power that Wang uses to alert his surroundings and think divergently.

Although it looks like he is doing a lot of things, he is actually doing only two or three things.

For many extraordinary people who need to use their brains, multitasking is not difficult.

The only difference between them and Wang Shui is a computing core called [The Master].
