The sun was shining brightly as Su Lu got out of bed and stretched lazily after freshening up.

Ever since he saw the elimination of the hidden enemy, he was suddenely at ease and had slept soundly until the break of day.

Stepping out of his bedroom, he saw Sean again.

Sean was sitting on the couch eating a sandwich. Upon seeing Su Lu, he immediately stood up, “Hey… Su Lu, there is something I wanted to tell you!”

“What is it?”

Su Lu gave him a sidelong glance, sat down, and started eating the breakfast waiting for him on the table without any reservations.

“It’s about the argument the day before yesterday, I’ve thought it through… my attitude might have been wrong, and I want to apologize to you!” Sean said sincerely.

Su Lu paused eating his sandwich and stared at Sean, seeing the sincerity in his expression.

Had the hint or other manipulation been undone? Because of the death of the manipulator?

With this certainty in mind, Su Lu picked up a cup of milk, “Let’s forget about the unpleasant things… So, what do you think of Catherine now?” “I’m still in love with her!” Sean declared firmly, “Oh… she is my goddess!”

This kid’s hopeless.

Su Lu rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Inside Donald’s office at the Fight Club.

“Welcome, my dear friend!”

Seeing Su Lu entering, Donald warmly approached him for a hug and consequently closed the door behind him, “Although there were some accidents along the way… but the problem has been resolved!”

Wondering if this guy secretly went to watch yesterday, hm, there’s a high possibility.

After thinking for a bit, Su Lu asked, “What accident?”

“At Catherine’s side, there was another Transcendent. This has caused some damage to our forces. Fortunately, they had a contingency plan, and eliminated it—unfortunately, both suspects died and there is no testimony!” Donald said regretfully.

“Another Transcendent?” Su Lu feigned surprise, “Who was it?”

Donald looked at Su Lu pensively, “It was Professor Yalanis from the ancient language department! She and Catherine were close friends, and their intimacy led to some unpleasant rumors… We should’ve guessed it.”

“I’m really sorry…”

Su Lu nodded solemnly, “What about the gains?”

“Of course, there are gains! A large amount of horrifying evidence related to cult rituals was found at Catherine’s residence. We suspect her of being a cultist and associate her with several cases of missing girls…” “Cultist? Young girls? Sacrifice?”

Su Lu made a guess with a solemn expression on his face.

Could it be…Beryl was so significant to Catherine because she was a high quality sacrifice? The kind especially loved by an Evil God?

This can’t be good.

After all, most of the gods in this world are extremely weird and terrifying.

“Cough cough… Anyway, such rituals are extremely wicked and bloody. It’s a capital crime in the Federation… the kind directly resulting in a death sentence…” Donald obviously didn’t want to dwell on this topic and quickly changed the subject, “Let’s talk about the gains this time! About the Golden Dragon and everything else… according to Director Wenqi, Catherine’s

Transcendent power was very dark and evil, so it couldn’t be given to us! As for

Professor Yalanis, we have to be very cautious!”

“So… we did all this for a scholarship?” Su Lu’s face suddenly darkened.

Although he had already guessed some of it and didn’t feel much anger in his heart, the other party’s manner was too disagreeable.

“The scholarship is not a small amount, after all, it’s 20 Golden Dragons, all yours!”

Donald was somewhat guilty.

Although he really didn’t withhold any Transcendent inheritance, Lime had told him that all the merits he had accomplished would be put on record and are redeemable after entering the church in the future.

In comparison, Su Lu’s reward did seem a bit small.

After some thought, he quickly added, “Mr. Wenqi’s butler came to see me early this morning, saying we are allowed to transcribe some of the the archive of arcane knowledge… The neutral and harmless type.”

“For example…”

It seemed the other party had given out something related to arcane

Imowledge, just not likely to include specific information about taking office.

“There is no ‘example,’ just one book—Professor Yalanis’s notes on ancient languages! They allow us to transcribe the parts they have reviewed!”

‘So, there will be some deletions?’

A twitch appeared at the corner of Su Lu’s mouth. In addition, the Gulam language is just a kind of arcane language, similar to ancient Hebrew.

Even if you learn it, without specific mantras and rituals, you can’t arrange any ceremonies. So, is this considered a very neutral and safe piece of knowledge?

“Alright, I accept!”

Su Lu nodded and thought of the few pieces of parchment he had.

They came from the mysterious corpse in the sewer and seemed to have some connection to Catherine.

But now, everything had become a mystery.

There might be a Transcendent with the capability of communing with the dead, letting the dead speak, or observing the psychological world of the living, but this required specific occupations or a higher professional rank.

However, considering the recent awakening of spiritual energy, whether such high-level Transcendents actually exist remains questionable. As for occupational persons specializing in communicating with the spirit, even if the church does have them, there won’t be too many.

‘Reviewing and deleting content takes time…’

After leaving the Fight Club, Su Lu squinted his eyes and looked at the bright sun in the sky, ‘Even if the rituals and other forbidden knowledge are deleted, I must study the Gulam language…’

Thinking of the Gulam language reminded him of Moli.

This student of Catherine’s was definitely related to the recent series of events. But Donald had just told him that the girl had mysteriously disappeared after yesterday’s attack.

This was not due to the inadequacy of the police but because it was unexpected.

After all, Catherine and Yalanis had many students, some of whom came from significant backgrounds.

Just because their teachers were suspects didn’t mean their students should be monitored.

Therefore, after the news of Catherine’s cleanup operation went out last night, Moli disappeared.

Su Lu sighed and mentally revisited the image of that timid young girl.

He couldn’t picture how deeply she had been involved—perhaps she was even Catherine’s ‘apprentice’ in the arcane studies!

‘Regardless of where Moli went, some things have finally concluded. What

should I do next?’

As Su Lu was wandering around aimlessly, he found himself back at the dormitory.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

Standing at the dorm entrance was a tall man with a black suitcase. His clear blue eyes were slightly absent-minded as they scanned the students passing by.

Su Lu recognized his chiselled features and firm appearance, and they immediately stirred a memory.

Noticing Su Lu’s gaze, the man turned his head towards him, quickly approached, and gave him a hug, “Su Lu….l hope I’m not too late!”
