Megose

Lynch did not know what happened between Klein and Leonard after he left; he took a carriage immediately to the police station to notify Mountbatten.

It was already dawn, so Mountbatten would certainly be at work by now.

This was a merit, a contribution he could obtain for free without much effort, so Mountbatten was naturally willing to take it.

As soon as he heard that Lynch had secured this case for him, he immediately took his men and set off.

Only after Mountbatten left did Lynch take a carriage back home.

As soon as he arrived, he rushed into the washroom, took a quick hot shower, and returned to his bedroom feeling refreshed.

This night had truly been exhausting.

He had finally managed to offload the suspicious items in his hands, and now all that remained was to figure out who had forced him to have that dream.

However, since the other party did not obstruct his actions, it meant he hadn't angered them and had fulfilled their requirements, so his life should be guaranteed for now.

Of course, to ensure he was even safer.

Lynch changed his clothes and headed to Hoi University.

Mr. Azik had already told him his work and residential address last night and had given him a letter of introduction; if he went to find him, the guards would let him through.

Lynch dared not delay; without fretting over the carriage fare, he took a carriage to Hoi University once again.

Perhaps because it was class time, Mr. Azik was not there when Lynch arrived; there was only a lady of about twenty years old writing something in the office.

Seeing Lynch enter, she curiously sized him up, nodded, and then lowered her head to continue writing.

Lynch did not go over to make things awkward for himself; he poured himself a glass of water and sat in Mr. Azik's chair, lost in thought.

The Aurora Order had not contacted him yet, and he didn't know when they would carry out their plan. Now that there was an extra person forcing him to have dreams, he really felt that Tingen was becoming hard to navigate, and staying by Mr. Azik's side felt much safer.

He did not know how much time had passed when the office door was pushed open, and it was none other than Mr. Azik who entered.

"Megose, is your application written?"

He asked in a calm voice.

The lady opposite nodded and responded softly: "It is finished, mentor, it is right here."

She pushed a piece of paper across.

Mr. Azik glanced at it, set it down, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you really going to drop out to go back and get married?"

A look of happiness appeared on the lady's face.

She said in a gentle tone: "Mentor, I intend to marry him; he said he would provide for me."

Lynch, sitting to the side, opened his mouth and couldn't help but retort: "Who still believes in someone else providing for them these days? Even your parents couldn't provide for you for your whole life, right?"

The woman frowned at Lynch and said unhappily: "He is different from others."

Lynch: ...

Even as a man, he didn't believe such words from a man.

However, before he could say anything else, he saw Mr. Azik walk over warmly.

"Lynch, I didn't expect you to come today; I was just wondering when I should go find you! Come quickly and take a look, these are the things I found for you yesterday; I think you will be able to use them!"

Mr. Azik signaled for Lynch to follow him to the cabinet, then he opened it to reveal a book and a glove inside.

"This is..."

He had just started to introduce them when he remembered that Megose had not yet left, so he nodded at her.

"You can leave the application form there and go; since you have made your decision, I will not stop you, but I will hold onto this report for a while. During this time, it is still not too late if you want to change your mind!"

Mr. Azik's voice was quite gentle.

Megose shook her head with a smile.

"He said he wouldn't let me regret it!"

Lynch: ...

Watching Megose walk to the door, he still couldn't help but say: "Before you get married, you had better investigate the other person's character; don't trust someone so easily."

Megose was a bit dissatisfied, but after glancing at Mr. Azik, she nodded reluctantly and then left the office.

After she left, Mr. Azik began to introduce the two items he had taken out to Lynch.

"Look at this book; I call it Dreamland. Its function is to let you have a sweet dream, but the side effect is that you will have a headache for a while after each use; I do not recommend using it often.

This glove is a small space; after wearing it, you can put things inside. It is about one square meter; use it well."

Lynch didn't care about the book, but he was pleasantly surprised by the glove.

Even if it was only a one-square-meter space, it was enough to make him excited.

"What is its side effect?"

Lynch asked curiously.

"Its side effect is that you will speak the truth once every day."

Lynch immediately stuffed the glove into his pocket, feeling guilty as he indicated that he didn't care about such things.

Mr. Azik did not mind, pouring a cup of tea for Lynch and beginning to ask which parts of the Tingen University entrance exam he found difficult.

Lynch immediately brought up the questions that had arisen during his review yesterday; while the Study Pen could indeed give lectures, lecturing did not necessarily mean Lynch could actually understand the material.

Lynch felt that the pen did not explain things well, much like an AI giving a lecture—completely devoid of emotion.

Sometimes, after the pen explained something, Lynch felt even more bewildered than before.

Therefore, he immediately shared these doubts with Mr. Azik.

As expected of Mr. Azik, even though he did not teach at Tingen University, he was still very familiar with the curriculum there.

He explained things in great detail, and Lynch listened very carefully, but...

He just couldn't seem to remember any of it.

That was right; he was still maintaining the Sleepless pathway.

He was worried about being targeted, so he didn't dare to deactivate the Sleepless pathway at all.

Having a bit of combat capability made him feel much more at ease.

He was at ease, certainly, but his studies were not going well.

Even though Mr. Azik viewed him through a lens of extreme indulgence, he was still driven to a headache by the frustration.

Lynch could only quickly jot down what Mr. Azik said, preparing to study it thoroughly when he returned that night.

After recording his questions, Lynch looked at Mr. Azik and asked hesitantly, "Did you notice anything wrong with me? I had a nightmare last night."

Mr. Azik stared at Lynch for a moment, frowning as he said, "There is indeed something slightly amiss, but it is not a major issue. It might be because of me that you have been targeted."

He looked somewhat annoyed.

When he looked at Lynch yesterday, there was only a minor problem, but looking at him now, he discovered that these troubles had turned into a direct targeting.

Lynch sighed.

He had actually suspected as much, but he hadn't expected it to be true.

The other party only made him have nightmares without causing him any harm, and they didn't even care that he had seized the opportunity to discard the Antigonus Notebook. He wondered what they were trying to do; could it be a warning to get out of Tingen as soon as possible?

Did they think Mr. Azik was an angel and didn't want to offend him, so seeing that he had a connection to him, they...

Wait, the ones who could know all this so quickly would be 0-08 and Ince Zangwill, right?
