New Gods of North America.

Chapter 291 Lunch
After I started working, the lunch break suddenly seemed not enough.

But with Doug's silly bird and a horse-drawn carriage, it was easy to find someone.
Soon Wayne met Inissa and Lina in the carriage on the path outside the girls' dormitory wall.

Inissa and Lina signed up for extra classes, which were relatively easy compared to the students in the academy.

As long as you don't skip classes, you don't have to get up early in the morning. You can have a leisurely meal and rest at noon, and there is also time for a leisurely afternoon tea. However, if you really want to practice, you still have to stay in the college until dark.

Therefore, Miss Olivia always invited them to rest over at noon, which not only helped them to keep in touch, but also saved them the tediousness of traveling back and forth.

The girls' dormitory of the Academy of Arts and Sciences is more like a relatively closed "park" than a stand-alone "dormitory". There are many buildings inside, like a small castle.

Although the dormitory where Miss Olivia and her friends live is also shared by several people and the decoration is not luxurious, the layout sounds more like a hotel suite, with a relatively private leisure area and bathroom, and each lady has a separate small room. Of course, the accommodation fee will be relatively more expensive.

——The cost of higher education in this era can be regarded as a "burden" for most families. However, in terms of family background alone, the average family conditions of female students who can receive comprehensive higher education are often much better than those of male students.

It is not enough to simply "have enough food and clothing", usually you need to at least have a small surplus.

For example, even if the parents are not rich people, congressmen, or military generals, they are basically doctors, lawyers, professors, small businessmen, etc.

Therefore, apart from some relatively professional "small class" courses, large classes like general education courses are basically separated by gender.

Therefore, the various encounters in campus love stories of this era are usually arranged by the creators in "libraries" and "restaurants", or "societies" and "parties".

Almost all important campus plots are set during the "start of school", "after school", "holidays" or various "celebration" periods.

Because during the daytime, everyone's classes are very tight, and most students don't have the time and relaxation to justify the tuition fees.

And I almost never meet the opposite sex in class.

In the carriage,
Lina was so excited that she was planning to skip class. "Did Seth say it was by the lake in the academy? Where is it approximately? I'll go over there this afternoon and make sure I block all possible escape routes for him."

Inesa looked like she wanted to take her back to class. "The meeting time is at 10 pm. The arrangements for the scene will depend on the specific situation. You can still go after you finish practicing the piano."

"Seth said they didn't meet very often, but the contact only gave a rough location each time. I feel like they are the type that are quite cautious. Seth and Doug can be in charge of the preliminary arrangements, and if necessary, we can make some adjustments in advance."

Wayne looked at Lina's somewhat frustrated face, and joined the ranks of those trying to stop her from skipping classes.

Then Wayne thought for a moment and continued:
“However, considering the attitude of the cathedral towards the college and the current situation of the college church, we must avoid making any noise when taking action in the college. In principle, we should proceed in silence.

"And we also need to be on guard against traps and keep a close eye on Seth during the operation. If we catch a useful fish this time, Seth will be officially accepted as a member of our detective agency, and vice versa.

"Doug, you are responsible for notifying this matter and telling every member involved in the operation privately."

The carriage door was not closed. Sanders was waiting a little further away, and Doug was standing outside the door.
After Doug nodded in confirmation, Inissa thought for a moment:
"If we need to act silently, considering that the enemy may be from the School of Life Studies, we may need to arrange more people. "And we must consider the worst case scenario - if the enemy may escape, should we let him go, or stop him at all costs?"

Wayne thought for a moment, "Assuming that even Peter can't quietly knock the other person out, without using guns and explosives, what other emergency methods do we have? Even if the other party calls for help, it may not be a good thing for us."

Inissa thought for a moment, then took out a tube of injection from her body.

Wayne still remembered the color of the medicine in the syringe.

At that time, Inissa seemed to have stabbed herself with a needle, and then an unknown Wendigo shattered to the ground.

Not to the point of not to the point of...

If we really encounter something extremely dangerous like that, there is no need to keep silent. Even if the situation ends up in a cathedral, the detective agency is still seriously exorcising demons.

Wayne tried to come up with a relatively feasible plan:
"Let's put it this way. If an extreme situation does occur, we should still prioritize 'capturing the enemy' over 'silencing'. But we should try our best to keep them alive.

"The ideal situation is that we can prove that the other party is indeed a suspect. Whether we capture the other party or the other party uses extraordinary abilities to resist, as long as there is a commotion, the members involved in the action must withdraw to the detective agency in time and arrange for someone to inform David Mills.

"If we capture the other party, we will interrogate him as soon as possible to get evidence of his crime; if he uses extraordinary abilities to resist, we can reasonably suspect that he is a member of a hidden organization. In this way, even if there will be subsequent troubles, our reasons will be barely justified.

"The worst-case scenario for the detective agency, I think, is that the other party's identity and behavior are not problematic, and we have no evidence to prove that the other party is suspected of committing a crime, and then Seth turns against us. In that case, I'm afraid no one will speak for us.

"This is not a 'hunt', this time we are competing to see who is cleaner."

Inesa soon understood.
Lina nodded cheerfully, "I see. I'm familiar with this. If the target suddenly kills himself as an ordinary person, then we should be careful of Seth?"

Wow...Lina, is the struggle over there so fierce?

Even the gameplay of "Young Master Offering His Head" has evolved.

Fortunately, under normal circumstances, criminals in America will still prioritize saving their own lives.
Wayne nodded and confirmed, "That's about it. So if we talk about 'hunting', then our real prey may not have appeared this time. And we may not know who the specific enemies are until we have confirmed it this time."

A general consensus was reached, and Doug began to mobilize people and prepare for preliminary site inspection.

Wayne looked at the time and decided to go to class first.

I have a theological theory class in the afternoon. The quarrels among various schools of thought in the church throughout history are actually quite interesting.
