20: The Night Watchman 03

Now that the investigation team had been formed, the next steps were to receive the information about the mission tasks, come up with a plan, and complete the investigation.

The next day Zong Yan got up early. He'd packed his luggage the day before. After washing up, he brought his backpack and suitcase to the cafeteria for breakfast and waited for his team.

"Good morning, Yan Ge."

Not long after, Wang KeMing also came with his suitcase. Behind him was Edward, who was empty-handed. Ada, the black-haired girl who'd changed into a purple cheongsam, also walked over gracefully.

Zong Yan: "Morning."

According to the rules, during the investigation practice course, students would live near the task site and the school would give them an allowance according to the number of people in their team.

Miskatonic University and the Spire Council had united the activities of Awakened around the world. They had partnerships with official agencies all over the globe, not to mention the fact that Awakened were sponsored by a large number of corporations on the Forbes list. Generally speaking, as long as there were vacancies in a sponsor's hotel or flights were available, students could check in as soon as their team and assignment tasks were confirmed.

Once the investigation practice week began, there would be no students on campus. A week later, MU would be the venue for this year's Spire Council, welcoming senior investigators from all over the world.

After the four met up, they left through the Gate of Truth in the center of the auditorium. Because Qingyang High School's academic year was starting very soon, the Dragon Group had already booked a flight back to China for Zong Yan. When the investigation practice class was complete, he would fly directly from Heathrow Airport to Jiangzhou.

"Excuse me." Just as they left school, Ada suddenly seemed to remember something. She smiled, opened the folding fan in her hand, and covered half her face. "Something urgent just happened in my family. I might need to say goodbye for a while."

"That's fine." As the head of this temporary investigation team, Zong Yan readily agreed to this small request. "If you need to do something, you can contact us by phone, or meet us later at the front desk of the hotel."

"Okay." Ada smiled, threw a wink at him, and left.

"Come on, let's go to the hotel." Zong Yan looked down at the screen of his phone and pulled his suitcase as they left Westminster Abbey.

After walking a few steps, he realized that Edward was still standing in the same place. Zong Yan gave him a puzzled look.

Before leaving school, Edward put on a pair of sunglasses and a mask to cover himself up. When he walked, he dodged around and swept his eyes at the people on the street for fear of being recognized.

That's right, the decision to attend MU was Edward's alone. He didn't get the approval of the royal family or mention it to his father the King.

The British royal family hadn't wanted any reporting on the matter, but many of the crown prince's scheduled trips were canceled in a hurry, which attracted attention from all sides. London's major newspapers had all talked about it.

The British royal family was the most famous royal family in the world. Each of its core members were frequently in front of the media. This was especially true of Edward, the reputed crown prince, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. From infancy through his teenage years, he'd been under the camera. His face was recognizable worldwide.

He'd managed to slip out from under the royal family's eyes and deliberately changed his investigation practice mission at the last second. Naturally, he didn't want to be caught the moment he left school.
