Chapter 102: Coincidentally, I Have Some Knowledge of the Human Body

The scene felt like a whirlwind, surrounded by darkness, with about a dozen shadowy figures forming a circle in front of me. Faint traces of magic shimmered on their bodies.

I scanned the surroundings. All of them appeared ephemeral, like unstable water ripples, making it hard to discern their exact features. I could only make out their height, weight, and subtle changes in their facial expressions.

"A virtual environment has been detected. Would you like to analyze it and search for the signal source?" A prompt suddenly echoed in my mind, almost startling me. I realized that the voice of the AI wasn't transmitted through magic into this space, as everyone around me remained oblivious.

"Yes..." I whispered my response in my mind. I was curious about this peculiar space. Who would have thought that attending the gathering in the guise of Ladek would lead to such an unexpected discovery?

However, when I checked the progress of the analysis, I couldn't help but twitch my lips. The analysis was progressing at a frustratingly slow pace.

After about two minutes, the phantasmal figures in this peculiar space stopped increasing, and I counted a total of fifteen people, including myself.

"Is everyone here?" The witch in front of me asked.

"Hasn't Number 4 been missing for a while?" Another person beside her shook his head.N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

"Maybe he died somewhere? Who knows? Stop the pointless chatter and let's get started!" A tall and thin figure impatiently interrupted their discussion and then addressed the rest of us.

"Let me begin. I'll talk about the human body. If you're not interested, you can leave..."

With that statement, five of the phantoms immediately disappeared.

I observed silently, not moving a muscle.

The tall, thin figure soon started speaking again. "According to my research, the human body contains over two hundred bones and more than six hundred muscles. Muscles are composed of long, thin threads, and if we break it down further, it's a unique structure made up of four basic elements..."

As the thin figure rambled on, those in attendance either contemplated deeply, chuckled, or interjected with questions. The male witch patiently answered their inquiries.

"Since you've taken the money, how about explaining what these so-called proteins and calcium are?" The tall and thin male witch asked with a scowl.

He was naturally very annoyed about Lynn stealing his thunder, but those strange terms piqued his curiosity.

"Protein is an essential component of all cells and tissues in the human body, composed of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen..." Lynn provided a vague answer, brushing off the more intricate details by claiming he hadn't fully researched them yet.

No one in the room raised any objections. The study of magic was a complex and ongoing process, and they were already amazed by how in-depth Lynn's knowledge went.

Despite some minor hiccups, the first lecture soon concluded, and the figures who had disappeared earlier reappeared in this chaotic space.

Next, another wizard stepped up to talk about psychic magic.

The meeting continued for several hours, with each person sharing knowledge that was not easily discussed openly. But here, everyone could speak freely, even sharing the gruesome details of their experiments on human bodies.

The progress of Lynn's analysis also reached three percent, and he listened attentively, sending out three coins he had received.

When the meeting finally concluded, the faceless figures agreed on the time for the next gathering and then adjourned.

Upon hearing this, Lynn's expression turned somewhat peculiar. Was it really ending just like this? He thought someone might question why the new members he'd recruited hadn't shown up, but there wasn't a single mention of it.

From the conversations among these people, it seemed like the Faceless Society was loosely organized, more like a place for exchanging knowledge.

Just as Lynn was about to leave this illusory space, a male witch next to him suddenly spoke.

"Numbers 3, 7, 11, and 15, would you please stay?"
