Chapter Eighty-Five: The Magic Eater
September 23, 9 a.m
After three days of investigation, there was no progress, the number of victims of the dug magic circuit continued to grow, and the entire Walpurges College was plunged into a kind of silent panic, and the school still did not respond to anything, only the growing suspicion among the patrolmen and students
"Still don't have any clue, the other party is like a roundworm in the stomach of our discipline department, and knows everything about our actions" Chong, who was resting on the bench, opened one eye slightly after hearing the complaint from the front
"Isn't it, where we let our guard down a little and someone will be killed immediately."
"After all, we don't have too many people in the Discipline Department, and although Commissioner Lisette has contacted some people with good strength as foreign aid, it is still far from enough."
"Speaking of which, how many of the Demon King candidates at the night party are willing to help?"
"There aren't many, after all, they're also suspects, and there's no one else willing to help except Akabane Reijin and Charlotte Birao."
"yes, that's bad news"
"Also, you know, the rumors about those two people" The discussion became farther and farther away, and although he wanted to hear the rest of the topic, he had no intention of listening to it
(The reason I know everything about your actions is because the murderers are your internal people, a bunch of fools) Chong straightened up, and the puppet that had been standing behind him also moved because of this action
(Time is running out, so it's going to be today) Chong thought as he looked at the corpse of the puppet that was carried into the abandoned room, and then he walked in the direction of the Martial Arts School, today's training for the Martial Arts Games is about to begin
Ten o'clock in the evening
"Why are you here? The curfew time should have passed," Felix said in surprise as he looked at Chong in front of him
"It's nothing, just hang out," Chong replied lightly
"Please go back, it's a special time, and people outside the Discipline Department will be suspicious of their actions outside," Felix said, "I'll ask someone to send you back, I remember you didn't live here, right?" β
"Hmm," Chong nodded
"Thank you for your cooperation," Felix smiled, "then Thomas, Doki, send him out of school"
"Yes," the two behind him agreed
"Okay, the troublesome people have been sent away, and the next thing is "Felix looked at Chong, who had already walked away, and straightened the brim of his hat, "Charlotte Birao, the bureau has been arranged, and then you will wait for you to jump in by yourself"
Chong hid behind the tree and watched Felix leave, and then directly lifted out the puppet buried in the ground, and the two people who had just sent him out were already lying unconscious on the ground
"yes. The bureau has been laid out, and then you are waiting for you to jump in by yourself" Chong's figure slowly disappeared into the darkness
"Next, it's time to find evidence."
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ dividing line of evidence
Looking at the dormitory surrounded by groups, Chong chose to hide in the woods again
(The best evidence to blame the other party has been discovered, if you slow down) Chong thought for a moment before protruding from the woods and out of the dormitory
(The other party is not in the dormitory tonight, and no one knows where she is, plus the "Eve's Heart" murderer in the room has all the hands and feet to do, so the next thing should be to find her and arrest her) Chong thought carefully in his heart, if it passed now, there would only be two results, one was to hurry over and persuade her to leave, and the other was to admit that he was the murderer first, and then be arrested alone, the first one was to die together, and the second was not good enough for this kind of journey
"Then the breakthrough point is there," Chong looked at the building that had appeared in front of him and walked forward openly, just as the protagonist was also standing in front
"Lisette Norton, assistant to the Discipline Commission," Chong said lightly as he walked behind the other party
βοΌοΌοΌβ The other party looked back at him in surprise, and then she also said lightly, "What are you looking for me, NO:20"
"I've roughly deduced who the murderer is, but I still have a little evidence, so I'm going to let you take me to the safe," Chong said, and his calm demeanor surprised Lisette
"I refuse, you're too dangerous," Lisette decisively refused
"Then I'm going to think you're a magic eater," Chong Leng said coldly, "Suspicion is not illegal, right?"
"Okay, but you're not allowed to bring any high-risk items and your dolls in," Lisette said, gesturing to the knife pinned to his waist
Chong threw the knife on the ground, and then collected the silk thread from the doll
"Hurry up and keep up," Lisette walked forward, and Chong followed
"Explain in advance, most of the dolls sleeping here are some puppets that don't have any ability to resist, in order to prevent you from taking the opportunity to destroy it, I must accompany me all the way" After entering the "safe", Lisette said coldly
"Casual" Chong replied, "Where is the third-grade automata, I want to eliminate it according to the structure of the puppet and the way it attacks"
"Second floor, follow me," Lisette walked to the right
Chong stopped after reaching a cabinet
"Do you want to check it out," Lisette said, looking at the name tag on the cabinet
"Key" Chong held out his hand
"Don't move around, or I'll call security right away," Lisette handed the key to Chong
ββ¦β¦ Now I've changed my mind," Chong suddenly walked to the right-hand side, and then before Lisette didn't react, he had already quickly opened the words that read "Lisette. Norton's cabinet
Standing here is the "Lisette . Norton's body was exactly as it was written on the name tag
"So you" Chong turned around, and then dropped the key on the ground, "Is there anything else to say?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the one who is here now would have been Akabane Raijin," Chong said with a mocking look at Lisette who was silent, "Am I right, Magic Eater"
"Brush" responds with a kick that targets his head
"Bang" Chongya blocked the blow with his foot, and the rattle of parts from her feet confirmed his reasoning
"Why are you stopping me," Lisette said lightly, her face was expressionless, and her eyes were extremely blank
"Nothing," Chong replied, "intending to familiarize himself with how it felt after the victory."
"Then please familiarize yourself with the taste of defeat first," she suddenly swapped out a large sword from her back, and then slashed directly at her head
"Snap" Chong jumped backwards, and his body smashed directly into the glass and fell to the ground hard
"Get away," Chong stood up and said coldly as he looked at the security guards who had gathered around him because of surprise and panic
"Please cooperate with our actions," the lead security guard stepped forward after a brief hesitation
"Humph!" In response to him was Chong's cold snort
"Attack! The other party is a dangerous person! Lisette's voice came from above
"Attack!" She was greeted with a loud shout
"Waste of time," Chong said coldly
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ Xia'er's dividing line
Xia Er was lying on the ground, tears kept slipping on her face, Felix stood in front of her and watched, not heartache, but shame and shame, she had been deceived by the other party, but she still believed in him, accompanied him, and even loved him, but the other party actually, actually
"Roar" Sigmund lay on the ground, roaring with anger and warning coming out of his mouth
"Tsk, what's the matter, why hasn't Alyssa arrived yet" Felix didn't pay attention to Sigmunt's roar and said with a frown, because even its master had no will to fight, how could it possibly do anything
"Brush" as if his words were realized, and with the sound of "hiss", the silhouette of the woman fell to the ground
It was a heavily armed automaton. That is, the Valkyrie. He wears medieval armor and a long-handled sword. The helmet that covers the entire face is majestic and looks like a ghost mask
"Alyssa, why is it so slow," Felix dissatisfied
"Sorry, special circumstances," the puppet replied
"Xia'er, the other party's puppet is here! Stand up! Manipulate me! Sigmund hurriedly shouted, but Xia'er, whose spirit had already been damaged by YanzhΓ²ng, ignored it
"It seems that your master is useless, it is better to stand obediently and let me save some work" Felix let out a malicious laugh, "It's really a little reluctant to think about it, after all, I don't know who to find as a scapegoat when you're gone"
"Xia'er!" Sigmund shouted again, and several ice arrows responded to him
Sigmund fell to the ground, a muffled moan. recite
"Sigmunt," Xia Er cried as she looked up at Sigmund as she fell to the ground
"Manipulate me, Xia'er," Sigmund said, "Escape from foreign aid, Xia'er find someone else to help you"
Foreign aid? How could there be, who would come to save herself, the people who defended Xia'er, the people who understood Xia'er, the people who believed in Xia'er, none of them, only now did Xia'er think of Sigmund who asked her to make friends.
There was something hot on her face, she couldn't control it, but she couldn't do anything, she felt extremely powerless, Xia Er began to sobble like a child, tears flowed non-stop, no one would come to help her, no, Xia Er remembered the figure of Akabane Lei Zhen, and in front of her was an ice arrow shining with silver rays
"That's really the wrong person," a nonchalant tone sounded behind him, and then the glittering dagger cut through the ice arrows that were coming at it
"Ah" Xia Er looked at Chong who was standing in front of her, not knowing what to say, her mind was full of surprise and confusion
"If you can still move, stand back, otherwise I won't do dry cleaning money for you if your clothes are dirty," Chong said indifferently, only then did she notice that there were a lot of blood stains running down the skin on the other party's shoulders, abdomen, and corners of the eyes
"It's been a long time since I've hit someone with my bare hands," Chong moved his arm to the other party's frightened gaze, "It seems to be a step backwards"
"It's really surprising, you're half-dead to come to save her, strange, aren't you also a puppet or something" Felix was startled at first, and then laughed again, "I didn't expect to do this kind of Cheng DΓΉ, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here after this is over."
"It doesn't matter, the priority of the task is to change at any time according to my thoughts" Chong Leng said coldly, "Now the important thing is to arrest you first"
"Then you can try it," Felix said, "Mr. Hero, let's try it."
The puppet named Alyssa discarded the greatsword in her hand and replaced it with a giant iron ball
After wiping the blood from the corners of his eyes, Chong looked at his puppet, which was covered in black animal skins, and was standing on its own, but its head was disconnected from its body, which reminded people of the traditional Japanese yokai flying head barbarian, very fat, and holding a dagger in each of its four hands
(Forget it, it seems that it will not be able to have ornamental value for a lifetime) thought boringly
"Huh" The other party is obviously not the kind of master who will wait for someone, and after a turn, he threw the iron ball over
"Whew" almost brushed the edge, and the puppet dodged the attack lightly, and then the dagger in his hand took the opportunity to plunge into the chain
"Bang!" After a cracking sound, the iron chain was directly cut off, and the iron ball fell to the ground with a loud bang
"Click" There's a soft sound inside Alyssa, and then it quickly turns into water and approaches it
Chong pulled the doll line, and then the black figure quickly blocked the other party's way, really stopped, because the doll's body quickly turned into an airtight cage and locked the other party in, and then its head, which had been detached all along, flew into the air, and with a single mouth, it spit out a large amount of poisonous mist into its own body
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and Alyssa shattered the doll's body in a burst of blue light
"Poof" Chong lowered his head and spit out a mouthful of blood, this is an interesting thing he discovered after coming down from the sky a few days ago, that is, he can continue to control the puppet when it enters the second stage of transformation, but in this case, the injuries suffered by the puppet will all be on himself, out of his own thoughts, he originally planned to never do this, but today he was indeed seriously injured, after all, the other party is a security guard in the school, and he can't kill him, so he can only use the second effect- The damage you take will also be applied to the puppet to heal your own injuries
"Are you alright?!" Xia Er hurriedly stood up, but then was pressed down by Chong's hand that was not stained with blood
"Shut up and be your bystander," Chong said weakly
"The other party can't hold it anymore, Alyssa, kill him directly!" Felix shouted
There was a sound on the ground, and the ground below Chongzheng quickly sank, and he had already sunk in the moment when he couldn't move
"Qiang" The other party changed back to his sword, and then quickly rushed towards it
"Click, click" At this moment, the sound of countless wooden planks sounded, and the originally broken puppet suddenly got up, and the broken part of its body quickly broke away from its body and turned into interconnected chains, dragging Alyssa back directly
The puppet's body turned into a cage again, and the remaining pieces of wood were inserted into the gaps in its body
There was silence, except for the sound of the wind as if it had been boiled
Wind?! Chong suddenly thought of something, so he tugged at the silk thread and motioned for the doll to open its body immediately
But it was too late, and countless white mist flew out of the puppet's body, and then floated directly towards him
After being surrounded by fog, Chong made a sound like drowning, but he didn't expect the other party to have this trick, which was the decisive hand
"Well, do you want to surrender, if you are melted by this white mist, you can't save it" Felix scoffed "It's too late to surrender"
"No," he replied by pulling out a glass bottle from his clothes and crushing it with his hands
βοΌοΌοΌοΌβ The mist suddenly became agitated, and soon began to flee frantically in all directions, and after dozens of seconds, Alyssa, who had no shelter in her body, fell to the ground weakly
"Click" his own puppet has stood up again, and the winner has been decided
"What, why?!" Felix's face was distorted with anger and disbelief, like a demon, and Xia Er on the side never thought that the other party's face would be so ugly after being distorted
"The bodily fluids of a puppet can't be applied to the same body," Chong replied through gritted teeth, and slowly moved towards the other
"You! What do you want to do! Felix's tone lengthened with horror, and his body couldn't stop backing away
"I'm the eldest son of the Kingsford family, and the royal family won't sit idly by if you do something to me!" Chong ignored it, rights were not important to him
"Wait a minute, you don't seem to understand the situation, no matter what you do to me, Xia'er's suspicion will not be clarified, now let's make a deal. I will prove your innocence. As long as there is my testimony "Chong still ignores it, the interests are not important to him."
"Don't come here! I said don't come!! Felix pulled out an old pistol and threatened, "I'll shoot if I come back again!" β
Chong still ignored it, the threat was not important to him
"You!" Felix pulled the trigger, but at this moment, Chong pulled the doll's silk thread, and the short dagger instantly cut the pistol in the opponent's hand in half
"Boom!" Facing Felix's frightened eyes, Chong threw a punch in his face
Nothing is more important to him than life
"Dong" Chong finally fell to the ground weakly after knocking Felix unconscious, and he barely looked back at his back, the blood paving a bright red path with his movements
"Hey! Feed! You okay! I'll send you to the infirmary right away! Xia Er hurriedly ran over with Sigmunt in her arms
"No," Chong barely supported his body, "Someone will come over right away, leaving here"
"No! Let's go together! Xia Er flatly refused
"Then help me up," Chong said as if he had lifted his burden, and his tone couldn't help but calm down
"Hmm!" Xia Er nodded, then lowered her body
"Boom!" A hand knife with appropriate force knocked it lightly
"My arm is going to be broken," Chong knocked her unconscious, pulling out a bright red potion from his pocket
"The hero you're waiting for shouldn't be me," self-deprecatingly shoved the pill into Xia'er's mouth, and then watched her swallow it
"If you can still move, go to the woods and transport those two guys back to the dormitory," after giving Felix the same pill, Chong vomited another mouthful of blood and staggered to his feet
"Then take this fellow with you," Chong pointed to the unconscious Alyssa again, and then limped out of the place with his wounds covered
postscript
"Can you explain to me what's going on outside," Akabane said in surprise as he looked at the crowd outside the school building
"You're the hero who solved the Magic Eater case, and they're here to welcome you," Kimberly said
βοΌβ Akabane Lei is really a little confused, what case? At that time, he did find out that Lisette's identity was wrong, and then when he went to her to prove it, he saw only the "corpse" of the security guard in one place, and then he took the night to the place where Xia Er was to find her, and then what happened?
"The murderer has admitted that you defeated him, so don't be too modest," Kimberly pushed him out
"Well,Actually, the other party didn't admit it.,It's just that after the investigation, I found out that you were the only one who went out of the dormitory during that time to give you this glory" When Akabane Raijin was drowning in the crowd, he heard Kimberly's teasing
"No, this is for you, thank you for helping me clear my name, don't get me wrong! It's just a return gift, a return gift! In the midst of the riot, Xia Er stepped forward and blushed, Sigmund was still recuperating due to his injuries
"Ah, no, that" Looking at the silver-white pendant in his hand, Akabane Lei Zhen who was just about to say something was choked by the neck of the night, "Lei Zhen!! You big carrot!! β
"Let it go, night night! A lot of people watched! Let go!!! β
"Don't! Don't let it go! Lei Zhen apologizes! Apologize!! β
"Hey, I'm really going to die! Let it go! β
"Shut up, you vixen!"
"What! Who are you scolding for being a vixen?!! β
"Chong, who was taken to the Discipline Department by two security guards on suspicion of intentional injury, disrupting law enforcement, and being a member of the Magic Eater, looked out when he heard Xia Er's roar
"What's wrong?" asked the person next to him
"No, nothing," Chong replied indifferently, and continued to walk forward on crutches
"Chairman, the other party is a little seriously injured, watch carefully," the security guard shouted after opening the door of the Discipline Department
"Understood, then please answer my question below," the pink-haired, bespectacled woman, who was newly appointed as the head of the Discipline Commission, said lightly, "What's the matter, don't you speak?" β
Chong was silent for a moment before shaking his head
"No, it's nothing, I plead guilty, Chairman Lisette. Norton"
