Qin Liu seemed to be stumped by the question. She thought seriously for a while, and suddenly a happy smile appeared on her cheeks. She said with certainty:

“Even though I haven’t seen it, I just know it.”

Oliver thought about it again and again, but he couldn't understand it. He said to himself, "Hey, you girls are really weird."

Volume 4: Chapter 146 The Great Library

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room, White Wolf woke up rubbing his eyes.

Her mental state was not good. Because she was worried about Miss Qin Liu, her insomnia last night lasted until almost dawn. Even at this time, she had only rested for less than three hours.

She couldn't sleep any more and had to hurry to find Qin Liu. She was so stimulated by the thoughts in her mind that she was no longer sleepy. The other party said that she had to return to Xiaoqiu County at noon today, and it would be too late if she was any later.

She hurriedly put on her clothes and buttoned them one by one, and suddenly realized that she was still wearing Miss Qin Liu's shirt. Her T-shirt was still with her and might have been worn away.

It's a bit strange, she muttered to herself, and suddenly the word "nepotism" came to her mind. If she only considered the literal meaning, it seemed quite appropriate.

After getting dressed, the next step was to wash up. She moved quickly, combing her hair in front of the mirror. She guessed that Miss Qin Liu would probably comb her hair again if she saw that she had done it so hastily.

After finishing her preparations, she didn't even go to eat, but ran out of the room impatiently.

Since all the rooms were booked by Bailang, she easily found the location of Qin Liu's room. Surprisingly, the door of the other party was wide open.

She looked inside from the door in confusion.

In the room, a cleaner in a blue striped uniform was wiping the table carefully. As if noticing White Wolf's gaze, the cleaner raised his head and asked politely:

"Miss, is there anything you need?"

"No, no." Bai Lang subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave, but a complex emotion made her stop, this emotion was a mixture of sadness and a little bit of expectation.

She asked knowingly, "Has the person living in the room left?"

"I'm leaving. I'm handing over the room this morning, around five o'clock." The cleaner replied calmly, "Do you know the person living here?"

At five o'clock, she should have fallen asleep not long ago, White Wolf thought, she explained to the cleaner: "I know her. Ah, actually there is nothing else, please continue to be busy, sorry to bother you."

She left Qin Liu's room and went to the hotel registration desk in a daze to ask, and learned the specific time when Qin Liu and Oliver left - around 5:20 in the morning.

It's almost nine o'clock now, and Qin Liu and the others are probably hundreds of kilometers away.

She returned to her room in frustration, closed the door, and fell on the bed with her ears drooping.

After being sad for a while, she suddenly felt resentful. Miss Qin Liu lied to her and said she would leave at noon. It must be intentional. Such a thing could not have been arranged in advance.

How could this be?

She suddenly jumped up from the bed, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was the employer of the operation, and had already paid the salary to the Xiaoqiu County Office in advance, but her employees actually left without saying hello to her.

She wants to complain!

Oliver can be exempted from punishment because of his diligence, but Qin Liu cannot. Qin Liu actively deceived her, so this Vaifan must be caught, immediately, right now.

What happens after you catch him?

She slumped down on the bed again, turned over, and looked at the white marble ceiling. Her brain felt strangely hot, and she spoke with a confused look.

"White Wolf, you have a mission."

"I know."

"Then you shouldn't get too close to others."

"Don't worry, I've always known."

"No, you don't know! Miss Qin Liu is a Victorian with dreams, and she is also an ordinary person. She has never experienced anything. What about you? You have walked through the cities of Columbia, the snowfields of Ursus, and the underground of Longmen. What have you done? When has your sword ever been truly restrained? Have you ever considered that according to Qin Liu's ability and personality, she will definitely see through your plan when she arrives in Ursus, but she will still stay to help you. What a huge burden you will bring to her who is unprepared?"

"That's enough. I'm so tired. Stop talking."

She hit her temple with her fist in pain and gasped in exhaustion.

About five minutes later, she sat up and touched her forehead, which was a little hot.

are you sick?

It’s better to go to the hospital. She seemed to have been dizzy for some time. She stood up and felt hungry again. Then she remembered that she hadn’t had breakfast yet.

At this time, White Wolf had no motivation to go to the restaurant, so he took out two pieces of plastic-wrapped bread from the food box provided by the hotel, then boiled a kettle of water, poured it into a cup, and took a sip of boiled water and a bite of bread, thus hastily solving the breakfast problem.

Strangely, after breakfast, she felt better and her forehead was no longer hot.

It should be an accidental symptom, so she shouldn't go to the hospital, she thought to herself. She came to Victoria as an Ursus noble. If she went to the hospital and was diagnosed with mineralogy or something, the consequences would be quite troublesome.

What should I do next? I can't just sleep in the hotel, that would be too boring.

She lowered her head and thought for a while, and suddenly came up with a brilliant idea. She actually forgot about the National University Library.

This is no ordinary library. It is said that it was planned and established by the legendary Sun King himself. It has withstood hundreds of years of wind and rain in Victoria and has always stood firm. The Great Library contains the most abundant books in the entire Terra and is a holy place and lighthouse in the minds of countless scholars.

She was not a scholar, but just a person who liked to read leisure books. The library in Rhode Island could make her happy for a long time, not to mention this rich treasure house.

When Miss White Wolf was excited, she became completely impatient. She was so itchy that she wanted to go to the library right away.

The privilege of an idle person is to use her time as she pleases. She left the hotel immediately, took a taxi and went to the National University.

An hour later, White Wolf excitedly found the legendary building in the center of the National University.

Seen from a distance, this building does not actually look like a library. Its majestic and heavy aura makes people wonder if they are looking at the most solemn and sacred palace of the royal family.

A straight stone avenue extends a hundred meters from the main entrance of the library. On both sides of the avenue are granite pools with a history of 600 years. Every ten meters or so, you can see a white jade animal sculpture in the pool on both sides, with a constant stream of clear spring water gushing out of its mouth.

White Wolf walked along the central avenue and slowly advanced to the entrance of the Great Library. The building in front of her still retained a certain style of ancient Victoria. Surrounding it were hundreds of white stone pillars that two people could hug together. This reminded her of the Parthenon, but the Great Library was several times larger than the latter.

She slowly approached the stone pillar and couldn't help but touch it gently with her hand.

The surface of the stone pillars is now mottled and bears traces of erosion over the years. They support the entire library and have witnessed the ups and downs of Victoria over the past 600 years.

Bai Lang stood there sighing for a long time, and finally she regained her composure, remembering that she was here to read, not to travel. She was not a wandering poet, and she didn't know how to write poems or compose essays, so there was really no need for her to make a fuss at the door.

Volume 4: Chapter 147: No Entry

When Bailang walked into the library, his eyes suddenly brightened. Although the outside looked quite simple, the interior of the library was completely different and full of modern style.

What comes into view is the soft lighting equipment that uses the latest reflection technology, the complex air-conditioning system that fills the entire huge space, the new electronic equipment with a sense of precision, and... a cold access control system.

Before Bailang could react, he heard the access control system remind him with a ruthless mechanical voice: "An unregistered person has been detected. Please register first. An unregistered person has been detected. Please register first."

A film volunteer wearing red clothes and a blue sign heard the reminder, put down the two large baskets of books in his arms, and walked over in a bad mood. During his work, he was most annoyed by these tourists, especially when he was busy. There were signs outside that prohibited non-school personnel from entering, but there were always people who ignored them and insisted on breaking in.

"Hello, how do I register?" The embarrassed White Wolf was afraid that the other party would question him, so he spoke first.

"Are you a tourist?" the volunteer asked gently. His mood changed immediately when he saw who had broken in. This Miss Rupert must have walked here accidentally. Well, since she was a tourist, she was probably not familiar with the school. Should he take the initiative to show her the way?

The volunteer found that he could be a kind-hearted person. At this time, the incredibly beautiful Miss Rupert spoke, and she shook her head stiffly.

"No, well, sort of. I'm here to read books, not just to visit. Excuse me, do you know where to register?"

The volunteer was very surprised. He didn't want to say anything to refuse, but the rules and regulations were there, so he could only explain apologetically: "I'm sorry, the library is only open to school staff and some people with special permissions, and they must be registered by the facial recognition system."

"Oh, I understand. Thank you." Bai Lang nodded disappointedly, looked reluctantly at the crowd reading quietly in the library, turned around and walked out helplessly.

She stood beside the stone pillar at the entrance of the library and was in a daze.

Miss Qin Liu left, and Aina and the others were busy with graduation matters. The library refused entry, so where should she go all alone?

At this moment, the notification sound of her mobile phone suddenly rang. She took it out and took a look, and found that the text message she received from the National University yesterday was resent. This time was different from the last time. There was an extra line of content below the text inviting her to become an honorary alumnus of the National University.

The school needs to investigate matters concerning the laboratory in the disaster area with her, and hopes that she can cooperate with the school and visit the National University office as soon as possible.

Just go over there, she thought, since I’m already at the National University.

As for this text message, she thought it would be best to reply if she went there now, but what tone should she use to reply? She had no idea who sent it, so she thought hard for a while and finally carefully typed the words "received" in the reply box.

The other party must think she is a dull Ursus when seeing the message, she thought to herself, and felt a little regretful and a little embarrassed. She turned off the screen of her phone, put it in her pocket, and started to look for her destination.

| ……

Inside the public office at the rear of the campus.

Sir Evan slapped his thigh and said happily: "Don't leave. She has already replied. She said she will be here soon."

The bespectacled old man Liberi was still very dissatisfied with the principal's dictatorial policy: "What is there to know about the situation in the assessment area? Isn't this all the police's business? Why are you asking me? I still have experiments to do!"

The elegant Sir Evan, the president of Victoria National University, quickly persuaded, "Of course I have to find you. A student from your department almost got into trouble and was saved by a young girl. It is only natural for you, as the dean, to know more about the situation."

The old man Liberi, who was called the dean, stared at the principal in front of him: "You didn't say that before. I finally understand that you always have a reason. I'm busy, you talk to me yourself!"

Sir Evan sipped his coffee leisurely and said slowly, "I remember that there seemed to be a batch of confiscated experimental equipment that the Royal Research Institute was anxious to get. Alas, some people are really shameless. If the girl hadn't risked her life to find that research institute, would you have been able to get new equipment?"

Old man Liberi's eyes widened immediately: "You, you, is this the same thing?"

He then sighed again and said, "Forget it, forget it. What you said does make some sense. She was the one who saved Old You's beloved student, Little Aina."

"You finally understand that you have to make up for it." Sir Evan took another sip of coffee.

Elder Liberi suddenly slapped his forehead and asked in confusion, "But didn't you say you didn't reply to yesterday's message? Maybe the girl is not interested in your 'honorary alumnus' at all. Ah, I see. So you came to me today, using the excuse of 'understanding the situation' and insisted on calling her over. Hey, you are cheating me!"

"Cheating~? What a joke, would I be that kind of person?" Sir Evan spoke slowly, his two tufts of gray mustache trembling, and his expression was deliberately made as exaggerated as possible. This was a trick he used to buy himself time. His brain was thinking about how to deal with the situation, and he found it.

"So, this is the gap." He said with deep emotion, "You see, I am the principal and you are the dean, and there is a reason for that. He didn't come because he was being modest and felt that his actions were insignificant. In Yan country's words, it is called disregarding false reputation. So did you really take it seriously? As a person, you can't be so thick-skinned."

"Tsk tsk." Sir Evan sipped his coffee again with satisfaction.

Old man Liberi was so angry that he was shaking all over and his glasses almost fell off.

He is thick-skinned? The most shameless person in the whole school is probably this arrogant old guy in front of him, who even said, "I am the principal and you are the dean." Bah!

He had long been fed up with this guy's arrogance, and in his anger, he found the way he drank coffee even more disgusting, so he stood up, snatched the cup from his hand, and swiftly poured the coffee into the trash can with his old legs.

"I'll let you drink!"

The dean of the National University's Gensei College, the erudite Professor Herzog, finally got his revenge.

Sir Evan chuckled. His old friend did the same thing to him on average once a month, but he did not care. His face was thicker than the walls of the library.

Jupiter, you are angry, which shows that you have lost.

Dean Herzog, who poured out the coffee, gradually calmed down. It seemed that he had to help the old man Evan, although he guessed from the beginning that things would not be as simple as the other party said, and there must be other hidden stories.

Volume 4: Chapter 148: Research Circle

About twenty minutes later, a staff member knocked on the door and came in, leading behind him a silver-haired girl named Rupert who was looking around curiously.

Marquis Evan's eyes lit up and he stood up immediately. The person who came should be Olicia.

"Hello, principal. This is Miss Olicia. She came here because she received the news."

After the staff member finished speaking, he saw the principal nod at him, then he turned around and left with understanding.

Bai Lang was looking around the office. Her initial impression was that the decoration was simple and elegant, yet ridiculously luxurious. The things she could recognize included: white porcelain vases and tea sets from Yan Country, handmade chairs from Minoan artists, Sargon's red sandalwood table, the oil paintings on the wall from an unknown artist, and the knight's armor on the shelf in the corner that looked like Casimir's artifacts...

The reason why she knew about these valuable furniture was because they were also available in the Kulusier store in Rhodes Island. Although they were crude imitations, they were still sold at high prices. There was no doubt that the real authentic ones were all priced sky-high.

When she was in Corsace, she had been to a luxurious Victorian-style villa rented by the Marquis Carolingian. The most luxurious and expensive parts of that villa could not compare with the interior furnishings of this office. The latter's decoration was that of an aristocratic with a deep background. Compared with it, the former looked like a nouveau riche.

Precious furniture cannot last as long as the marble columns in the library. In today's Londinium, the money spent on creating an elegant environment of this level is absolutely astronomical. She can reasonably speculate that as the premier school in Victoria, the senior management of the National University are mostly top corrupt elements.

Ah!

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

A middle-class Victorian family would have to spend all their wealth to send their children to a national university, and a poor family would have to accumulate the efforts of several generations.

Did the management of the National University use the money for such occasions? To buy these priceless luxury items?

Of course, Bai Lang was just sighing in her heart. It was impossible for her to control the affairs of the National University, but these scenes still left her with a bad impression of the top management of this college.

Just like the smiling man in front of me, who is called the 'Principal'.

The other person was dressed very elegantly and looked like he had walked out of a Victorian painter's work. He was an elegant and well-mannered old gentleman, which complemented the luxurious interior around him.

Oh, this corrupt and degenerate person in a shiny skin.

Sir Evan didn't know that although it was only their first meeting, he had already left a very bad impression on Olivia.

If he could understand the reason, he would seriously consider whether to choose the office as the meeting place. The reason why this place is so magnificent is that it has another function, that is - it is specially used to receive important external guests.

The offices of national universities are also generally referred to as reception rooms.
