Chapter 563: Chapter 0563: Clue (Third Update Request for Subscription)

The greening work at Blue Bridge University is done very well.

Umbrellas and chairs are everywhere, allowing students to fully enjoy the afternoon tea with a Chris Empire flavor.

After all, the students here are either nobles or elites, how could they possibly be like the university students in the White Eagle Federation, where a bedsheet spread on the lawn would suffice for a party.

Su Lu followed his instinct and arrived in front of a building.

It was an old clock tower, with a gothic-style wooden structure expressing a mysterious aura.

At the entrance of the clock tower, there was a warning sign.

‘Mysterious Society Activity Zone, No Entry for Ordinary People!’

“How blatant. But it seems all those who can enter Blue Bridge University must understand the Mysterious Realm, right? What a lively club.”

The air of mystery in the Chris Empire is very strong, especially among the upper classes.

The nobility firmly hold onto resources, relying in fact not on bloodline, but on the strength of occupational persons.

Everyone understands this, so within the university, societies related to mysteries abound.

Of course, the research is mainly basic, with church members secretly ‘inspecting’ now and then to ensure no taboos are violated.

Even some societies manage to get the information of the occupational persons taking office, having the ability to train occupational persons.

For civilian geniuses, this might be their most convenient path to access the ‘Transcendent’.

Otherwise, when they join other forces and factions in later years, although the chain of professional paths may be more complete, they would inevitably be more restricted, such as needing to trade corresponding materials and items with merit.

In contrast, those heirs of large nobility, they stand at the finish line of others as soon as they are born.

Su Lu pondered and stepped into the clock tower.

“This is our Mysterious Society’s territory, outsiders must… huh? Father?”

A young man holding a black book saw Su Lu and was immediately startled, then his face turned aggrieved: “Why did you stop my living expenses?”

Bru felt that these days have been terrible!

And all of this was because his father had cut off his living expenses, making him struggle in university.

Thankfully there were still some friends and society members supporting him, otherwise he really wouldn’t be able to survive.

“Hmph…obsessed with society activities, not returning home at night, do you still have any excuses?”

Su Lu raised an eyebrow, staring at the black book in his hand: “What is this?”

“Some materials from our society…I’m sorry.” Bru lowered his head.

He really didn’t dare to confront his father, being cut off from living expenses was too painful.

“Let me have a look…”

Su Lu took the book and casually skimmed it, finding that indeed, it was a very normal ‘mysterious study book’, targeted at ordinary people, with many precautions and taboos, and contents consisting of an introduction to mysterious knowledge, at most there were a few rituals about adjusting body and mind- not dangerous, suitable for ordinary people to start with.

Thud thud!

While the ‘father and son’ were in conversation, a man with golden hair like a lion walked out and saw Su Lu, greeted with a smile: “Baron Farrell.”

“Sir Andrew!”

Su Lu nodded in response, this Andrew was the heir of a marquis family, but since the current family head was his father, so he only has the title of a Sir.

At the same time, he is also the president of this Mysterious Society.

After a bit of idle chatter, the other party’s face showed an apologetic expression: “I’m sorry… it was me who asked Bru to stay and help me with a few experiments in the mysteries.”

“Not at all, young Bru being able to help Sir Andrew is his honor.”

Su Lu chatted smoothly with Andrew.

Suddenly, a screamed pierced through the original tranquility of the clock tower.

“Ah! Ahhh!”

“Quick, someone!”

“Something’s happened!”

Bru and Andrew’s faces changed, and they quickly ran towards the room where the sound was coming from.

Su Lu’s Inspiration was released, and he could already see what’s inside the room:

Five candles were lit in the dark and dim room, positioned at the corner of a Pentagram; inside the Pentagram were a goat skull, a frog’s liver, colorful feathers, and some unknown flesh and blood tissues.

And most of all, dark red plasma!

They kept flowing, coming from a young man at the center of the Pentagram array.

He was pale, the corners of his mouth curled up into an unexplained smile, a cross-shaped wound on his chest seemed to have been hollowed out by some unknown beast.

“God…is Boris…dead?”

“You can’t tell yet? He broke the first taboo of all mysteries, attempting to summon a demon!”

“Quick…notify the teacher, the chief of police, and church personnel.”

Even though Andrew was pale, he forcibly maintained his composure, shouting: “Preserve the scene… everyone get out, do not mess up the arrangement here or leave footprints.”

No one noticed.

The maroon colored book under Boris suddenly disappeared.

Su Lu casually tucked the book under his ribs, speaking to Bru who had returned: “It seems you have a busy day ahead, I’ll leave first. No need to see me out.”

“Father, the living expenses…”

Behind him, Bru let his outstretched hand fall weakly, turning into a sigh full of sadness.

…

Inside Blue Bridge University.

Su Lu casually found a spot with no people, slowly flipping through the book in his hands.

The cover of this book was dark red, as if dyed in blood, the contents inside were like a diary, it should’ve been written by that poor guy Boris himself.

“August 5th, President Andrew told me today that he could provide me with the information of three basic professional paths, but the value is not small… I am eating and living on scholarship money, I can’t possibly afford such a huge sum, I am afraid I will have to think of other methods. In any case, I have to become a ‘Transcendent’, a superior being!”

“August 11th, found an interesting book in the library, it seems to be related to mysteries, I want to give it a try…”

“August 14th, I am listening… I confirm I heard the voice of a great existence… ah… it is so vast and great, so full of wisdom…”

“September, I have started to gradually blur the concept of time, forgetting today’s date, that low-level knowledge of college courses also can’t satisfy my needs…I have caught a glimpse of the reality of the world, my lord…”

“October, secretly killed an occupational person, he might be a student’s bodyguard, or from the church, or related to the royal family, who knows? The body tissues he left behind were fully utilized by me, I feel that I can now completely be considered a fourth-tier occupational person… this is a gift from my lord.”

The handwriting of the notes got more chaotic towards the end, and there was no complete concept of time.

Su Lu turned to the last page, unsurprisingly saw a sentence: “I will sacrifice to my lord again…hoping to break through the bottleneck and get rid of trouble…He will give me a more powerful life form, I will be with the lord!”

“Summoned a demon professional because of the sacrifice?”

Su Lu sneered: “Poor little guy…but I will unceremoniously accept your gift.”

On this diary, he caught a trace of a breath.

The breath of [Void Demon]!
