The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 378
c368 Back to original
The coach looked at Xing Ze who was walking towards the teacher and secretly spit on the ground. He muttered in a low voice: “Damn Orientals.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a player on the field take a powerful kick, but the ball did not go towards the goal, but towards the audience stand.
Normally, the coach would have cursed a few words, but this time, he saw that the ball was heading towards Xing Ze. He immediately closed his mouth tightly, not even daring to vent his anger loudly, and quietly waited for the Oriental to make a fool of himself.
In just one breath, the ball is almost there. Suddenly, the Oriental man raised his hand, spread his fingers, and caught the football firmly.
The entire match was silent, and players from both teams looked over in surprise. The Oriental man calmly threw the ball back onto the court and sat down near the short-haired teacher.
“Oh my God, that guy caught the ball with one hand,” the chants came from the court.
One of the goalkeepers looked at his gloved hands with a look of disbelief on his face. He caught a football moving at high speed without gloves and with one hand.
What’s even more terrible is that the person caught it accurately and steadily, as easily as catching a feather. The goalkeeper shook his head in frustration, and could only comfort himself that this was just a coincidence.
The coach in the stands was equally surprised. He slowly let out the breath he was holding, and inexplicable anger rose in his heart. He paid attention to the situation on the court and couldn’t help but stand up and yelled: “Keep playing, damn it, You fuckers, look what you’re doing.”
The coach’s curses continued. Xing Ze didn’t pay attention. As soon as he sat down, the short-haired teacher looked at him.
“Good catch.” He praised, but quickly changed his words: “Well, it should be said that it is quite beautiful. Have you ever been a goalkeeper before?”
“No, no.” Xing Ze replied.
“Oh, that’s strange. Even a professional football goalkeeper has difficulty catching the ball flying at high speed with one hand.”
Xing Ze shrugged and said, “Maybe it’s just the newcomer’s luck. I heard that you manage the club here?”
The teacher looked confused, probably wondering who Xing Ze was. It wasn’t until Xing Ze took out his police officer ID that the doubts on his face disappeared.
“I really didn’t expect that Scotland Yard would now recruit people from the East.” He said without any malice, “Yes, I am in charge of the club here. But I am only responsible for the history department.”
“I’d like to ask about the Unsolved Mysteries Society.”
Hearing these words, the short-haired teacher’s face changed obviously. He hesitated and said, “I’m sorry, but that club is not under my control. It is a club open to all members of society and is not of a school nature.”
“You should know something, right?”
“Of course. It also recruits some students, but not many. Some teachers heard that they also joined the club.”
“Like Thomas Kimball?”
“Yes, Thomas. You…you know him?” the teacher asked.
“It’s not really acquaintance.” Xing Ze said, “Where can I find that club, or where can I find Thomas?”
“Ah, Thomas teaches astronomy. You have to walk a little further and you will soon see the teaching building of the Astronomy Department.”
“Are you familiar with him?”
The teacher shook his head, “Like you, I don’t really know him. But he occasionally comes to sit in on my history class, so he looks familiar.”
Xing Ze nodded and continued to ask: “Tell me about him.”
“Uh, officer. Please forgive me, but I can’t talk about my colleagues behind their backs without a legitimate reason. What happened to him? Or…”
“Did you know that he has been coming to school recently?”
The teacher lowered his head and thought for a while before replying: “It’s true that I haven’t seen him for a while. But this is normal. We belong to two colleges. Although we are in the same university, the connection between the colleges is not as imagined. So tight.
“Maybe you can go over there and ask. If he hasn’t come to class recently, there should be news there. I really can’t provide you with any useful information.”
“Then let’s talk about the Unsolved Mysteries Society.”
“To be honest, I’m not a member. I only know some things that are true or false. For example, some people in those associations are studying alchemy, magic and so on. Of course, I don’t believe in such things.”
“Are there any students involved?”
“Let me think about it, um -” the teacher rubbed his chin, “There seems to be one in our history department, named… Emily. I am deeply impressed by that girl, she is also the steward of the Old Sailors Association ”
When he heard the name Emily, Xing Ze always felt something was wrong. Coincidence? he thought in his mind. But he doesn’t really believe in coincidences.
Judging from the used bookstore just now and his current experience, it seems that there is some invisible force pushing him towards the center of the incident. He did plan to go to Emily for help, but that wouldn’t be necessary if anyone knew the location of the Unsolved Mysteries Society.
To be honest, he didn’t want to have too much contact with Emily. It wasn’t that he hated this girl, but that he didn’t want to get involved with another woman – Xunrel Jezebeth, the mysterious woman who made Xing Ze felt full of danger, especially her eyes that seemed to be able to see through the soul.
Unexpectedly, after a long time, he returned to his original choice. In Xing Ze’s opinion, this cannot be called a coincidence. Full of doubts, he continued to ask: “Then do you know the location of the Unsolved Mysteries Association?”
“That club is not open to the public, and as far as I know, they don’t have a fixed location. If they gather, they will change regularly to prevent being tracked. God knows who they are guarding against, and I don’t want to know. Do you know why outsiders call them?”
“Alchemist?”
“There is also this name, but many are crazy and mentally ill. I have never advocated that students join that club.”
“Okay.” Xing Ze frowned, “It seems that we can only go to find Emily.”
With the help of the short-haired teacher, Xing Ze found Emily who was in class in a teaching building. The teacher originally wanted Emily to come out, but was rejected by Xing Ze. He was willing to wait for Emily to finish class.
Half an hour later, the bell rang. The students poured out of the classroom. Xing Ze seized the opportunity to stop the girl. Several of her companions looked at Xing Ze with vigilant eyes.
“Oh, it’s you!” Emily was a little surprised by Xing Ze’s arrival, “Are you here to collect information?”
“No, I’m here to learn something from you about the club you joined.” Xing Ze didn’t say that the club was the Unsolved Mysteries Association, in case the girl’s companions would think she was an alien.
Emily’s face changed slightly, and she pretended to be calm and replied: “Let’s find a quiet place to talk.”
Xing Ze nodded. The companions were very worried, but under Emily’s persuasion, they left reluctantly.
